fox five's abby theodros there live with more. caucus locations dont open until five tonight so people are slowly but surely trickling in here at durango high school this process is a little different from what we saw on saturday with the democrats. there wont be crowds of people migrating to different corners of the room based on their presidential preference. instead - the republican caucus is organized around a secret ballot where you put down your candidate. organizers theyre expecting the process to last no more than 30 minutes to an hour. take a listen to fred brown with clark county's republican party on the updates they've made to this year's caucus there are up to 42 thousand registered republicans in nevada who could come out to

high school - organizers are expecting several hundred people here. we've already seen a couple trump rubio and cruz signs . and coming up at 5:30- here from caucus goers on who they're backing. reporting live abby theodros another caucus location... is at centennial high school. it's right around the corner from what is being billed as a rubio "celebration party". he joins us live from charleston and hualapai. john, christine, im here by dom demarcos pizzeria where later tonight marco rubio will be joining and addressing his supporters. the senator has been running around at various appearences yesterday and today around nevada, he took a flight out to minnesota earlier today but he is expected to

pm tonight. rubio's team has been encouraging people to go out and caucus all day. on twitter and facebook his nevada campaign page is sending supporters links to where they can find their caucus location. theyre sharing the many endoresements rubio has gooten from republican officals since friday... many on the republican side are even going as far as to say its a two man race between rubio, and donald trump. rubio spoke in front of supporters at the silverton this morning... claiming to be the most electable g-o-p candidate in the race.

about electing the loudest person in the room, because that alone will not solve the problem. (cheers) "and i'm asking you to vote for me tonight, because i will win. and the democrats know i will win. they spend more money attacking me than any other republican. because they know i'll win." now of course rubio lived in las vegas for part of his childhood, his team now hopes his fellow nevadan's will help him get elected by caucusing for him... next to where his team will be is a caucusing location...

obama administration has offered up a plan to close guantanamo bay... seven years after the president promised to shut down the facility. the broad outlines of the plan have been known for months - but as andrew spencer reports - today's announcement contained some new information. "for many years, it's been clear that the detention facility at guantanamo bay does not advance our national security. it undermines it." president obama is calling for the closure of the guantanamo bay detention facility. the long awaited plan was delivered to congress tuesday morning.

facility open is contrary to our values. it undermines our standing in the world. it is viewed as a stain on our broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law." the blueprint involves transferring most of the detainees to other countries. the rest -- deemed too dangerous to be moved abroad -- would be relocated to a detention facility in the united states. the plan identifies 13 possible u-s transfer sites -- including a military prison in leavenworth and the federal supermax prison in florence, colorado. bernie sanders offered up his support for the plan -- releasing a statement saying: "i am encouraged to see that the president is sending congress a plan to shut down the guantanamo bay prison. as i have said for years, the prison at guantanamo must be closed as quickly as possible" but reactions from other presidential candidates have not been so positive: (marco rubio, (r) presidential candidate) "we're not going to close guantanamo." (ted cruz, (r) presidential candidate) "don't shut down gitmo, expand it and let's have some new terrorists there." before any transfers to u-s

obstacles would likely need to be overcome. administration officials say they are planning conversations with lawmakers, but the outcome remains hazy. i'm andrew spencer reporting. ohio governor john kasich... is among the republican presidential candidates... widely condemning the move to close guantanamo bay. i don't understand it.. look these are people some of whom are the worst of the worst and why would we send them into our country.. look i just don't understand it.. look he promised it in the campaign.. when my people said this morning that he was going to do this i said why is he doing this? they said campaign promise so all i can tell you is i profoundly disagree." kasich is choosing not to focus on nevada - effectively skipping tonight's caucus. today - he campaigned in georgia instead. he says he's also expecting to do well in vermont, massachusetts, virginia and his home state of ohio. "listen, everybody is getting slaughtered in their state but we are within the margin or error and we will ohio and there is no

close. we have put a little effort in and the last thing that i'm worried about is how we're doing in ohio. we will win ohio." kasich says he is doing well in those states... without spending excessive money. federal prosecutors still want apple to break into an i- phone.... that was in possession of the couple who carried out a mass shooting attack in san bernardino. a court is being asked to force apple into producing software that would help the f- b-i guess the passcode to the phone. attorney general loretta lynch says law enforcement across the country needs to be able to use technology to gather evidence in criminal cases - and not just this one. "we're all looking for ways to make sure that we maintain access to the important evidence that we need, while also protecting privacy and security. i think we can do both." meanwhile... microsoft co- founder bill gates breaking ranks with many in silicon valley - appearing to back the f-b-i in this legal battle. but others - like

are siding with apple. tension continues to rise... over the balance of military power in the south china sea. "in my opinion china is clearly militarizing the south china sea, and you'd have to believe in a flat earth to think otherwise." america's top admiral in the pacific tells congress in addition to sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles... the chinese have also deployed advanced radar technology on a resource-rich island chain claimed by 6 nations. but china says the u-s is trying to confuse the issue - and their deployments are about self- defense - not conquest. "there is no difference between china's deployment of necessary national defense facilities in its own territory and the defense installation by the u.s. in hawaii." president obama says the u-s will continue close patrols and surveillance of the islands - but there is no plan to boost america's military presence in the area. at least one
