arkansas and vermont. i'm a unifier, i know people are i am a unifier. once we get all allowed to run, which is a big assumption. i don't know if she's going to be allowed to run. and i think that frankly that's going to be an easy race. trump called senator ted cruz to congratulate him on winning texas. cruz also won oklahoma and alaska. senator marco rubio picked up his first victory of the campaign in minnesota. cruz called on those who have not won any states to get out of the race -- so they can form a united front against trump. "america shouldn't have a president whose words would make you embarrassed if your children repeated them." on the democratic side -- hillary clinton celebrated several victories. she won seven states -- virginia, tennessee, alabama, georgia,

texas and even massachusetts -- a state where senator bernie sanders was expected to have a going to break down barriers and potential. senator sanders thanked his supporters at a rally tonight after he won his home state of vermont. he also picked up wins "as i think all of you know, this campaign is not just about electing a president, it is about transforming america." clinton now has a big lead over sanders in the number of delegates it will take to clinch the nomination. this morning, we're hearing from iowa senator chuck grassley after his special meeting with president obama.

leaders to talk about the supreme court vacancy. grassley chairs the powerful senate committee that holds hearings for nominees. the president plans to nominate someone -- but republicans say they won't vote on it. so what came out of yesterday's get together at the white house? republican position, i added a president as well as from our side that it wasn't a meeting where we were trying to change people's minds. democrats say the president is willing to consider a list of names -- if republicans have one. demonstrators settle in outside the supreme court where today -- justices hear arguments on abortion. today, the court will review a texas case. the focus is whether laws that restrict abortions to promote women's health are truly in the interest

back in iowa -- state lawmakers are taking a hard look at a bill more than 90 business leaders sent lawmakers a letter, asking them to debate and pass it. the bill would give the state the authority to create two growing facilities and give medical cannabis oil to people who need it. iowa lawmakers are looking at a bill that could allow 17-year olds to vote in state primary elections this summer. right now you must be at least 18 to vote. the iowa senate wants to change that. this is how it would work... the primary happens on june seventh. the general election is on november 8th. under the bill approved by the senate... if a person turns 18 june. the bill now goes to the house. later today, a murder trial moved to northeast iowa continues. yesterday, emily fazzino's mother testified. emily was found dead in her home in boone four years ago.

murder. emily's mother told the daughter's addiction to prescription drugs -- months before her death. after she told her mom, she went through detox in her mother's home in boone. "we felt like we had been and so that's why i didn't think my choice. that's how she wanted to handle it." alex fazzino claims withdrawal symtoms caused emily to drown in their bathtub -- and that she wasn't murdered. the government calls it a viscious guard dog. apple disagrees -- saying it's critical to protect privacy. congress is now hearing the battle between apple and the government. it's over whether the tech giant can be forced to hack into an i-phone owned by one of the san "the problem we face here is, all of our lives are on these

terrorists' lives are on these devices, and if they can't... if they're warrant-proof and even a judge can't order access to a device, that is a big problem." this week, a judge in new york said the federal government cannot force apple to help it get into a in a drug case. but two weeks ago -- a different judge in california -- ordered apple to help the f-b-i hack into the phone used by one of the bernardino. storms level several homes in the south. a possible tornado tore through alabama last night. trees are down and cars are also damaged. at least four people were hurt. hour winds -- holding on for dear life. a hardware store in louisiana was hit by a tornado. one woman was delivering packages from fed ex right when it hit. the surveillance video shows debris

"it's like...it's like they want to be like me." fifth grader, rhemy elsey was born almost completely deaf. a set of cochlear implants help him hear, but he relies heavily on sign languange and his interpretor to communicate. " it's tough for a kid that has

around all day you know especially if the rest of the class can't really communicate." communicate with him." and that's how the american sign language club was born. a group of students--who wanted to be able to talk to a friend. "i was thrilled that they were interested and that they wanted to learn some sign language and that they were taking some initiative to be able to communicate more effectively with one of their classmates." unlike their spanish or french classes--the students say they're finding that there's a lot that goes into learning this language--and things aren't always easy. "sometimes you really want to talk while you're signing but then you have to get like used to just using your hands instead of your mouth to communicate with other people." but--they have a teacher in their friend showing them--that so much can be said--without saying anything at all. "it's fun to see them walk up to
