- and plans to come in 2016. . we are streaming the speech on fox five vegas dot com. the mayor is also offering interactive features - during the speech - on twitter and instagram. democratic presidential candidate martin o'malley talked about his economic plan before leaving las vegas today. o'malley spoke to the economic club of las vegas over breakfast at caesar's palace this morning. the appearance capped off an overnight trip to the valley after attending the caucus countdown dinner at mgm grand last night. o'malley laid out his economic policy... which a few months ago he referred to by saying it isn't money, it's people. o'malley supports substantially raising the minimum wage, increasing social security benefits and more policing on wall street. as for the republicans - ted cruz leads in iowa - but the candidate nipping at his heels is causing controversy and bringing up cruz's canadian birthplace.

donald trump's questions about the senator's eligibility are catching on. donald trump wants ted cruz to clear something up -- can a man born in canada be president of the united states? (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) there's this doubt. people have doubt. again, this was not my suggestion. i didn't bring this up, a reporter asked me the question. but in a 2014 interview with a-b-c news, trump expressed more than just doubt. (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) i would say that he can't be president. if you're not born in this country you can't be president. it's another problem that ted cruz has. now, the texas senator says there's no issue because his mother was a u.s. citizen. (sen. ted cruz, (r) presidential candidate) the laws of the u.s. are straightforward. congress defined citizen born abroad citizen. legal experts agree fellow politicians don't seem so sure. (sen. rand paul, (r) presidential absolutely, without qualified and eligible to be the canada.

threatened a lawsuit if cruz gets elected. arizona senator john mccain, who faced similar questions in 2008 because he was born on a u.s. military base in panama, expressed doubts. (sen. john mccain, (r) arizona) i think there is a question. i am not a constitutional scholar on that but i think it's worth looking into. even the white house commented. (josh earnest, white house press secretary) it would be quite ironic if, after seven or eight years of drama around the president's birth certificate, republican primary voters were to choose senator cruz as their nominee -- somebody who actually wasn't born in the united states. in washington, dianne gallagher reporting. democratic frontrunner hillary clinton was in los angeles today - but plans returns to both iowa and new hampshire - where her rival bernie sanders made gains in recent weeks. intelligence agencies around the world are hard at work... trying to determine if a nuclear test in north korea really was a hydrogen bomb. the political fallout is already being felt.

there are growing calls for a strong response to the test. the military has resumed cross- border propaganda broadcasts which the north considers an act of war. and china - north korea's strongest ally - is calling for a resumption of denuclearization talks - to begin as soon as possible. "long-term peace and stability is in line with the interests of all sides. it is the common responsibility and requires joint efforts from all sides. it takes two to tango." the obama administration is urging a strong - and unified - response from world powers... saying the test is a provocation that cannot go unpunished. chaos continues - on the global stock market. china markets plunged this morning - setting off a stop in trading. there are also questions over oil prices - as they sink to lowest level in 12 years over fears of the stability of the world's second largest economy. news of china's stocks sent jitters on markets throughout the globe.... and presidential

the u-s are weighing in. "china has a crisis on their hands internally. their lack of transparency that governments had over the years every thing has bubbled and everything they've had in their economy they've compensated with a new bubble and i think it's finally catching up with them." the dow jones industrial average ended the day down 392 points. it continues a plunge that leaves the dow down more than 900 points -- or more than five percent -- in the first four days of 2016. that's the worst four-day percentage loss to start a year on record, according to stats that go back to 18-97. if the stock market isn't working out for you.... you can always try powerball instead. there was no one who matched all the numbers in in last night's 500- million dollar drawing. so now - the estimated prize for this weekend's powerball drawing has grown to about $700 million - making it the largest jackpot of any lottery game in u.s. history. sales have been brisk.... so the jackpot can grow even bigger. the previous
