bombing. today seven women and five men will decide whether he is legally responsible and their decision could launch a new trial with his life in the balance. as jurors review the testimony of dozens of exhibits attorneys are already begun outlining their cases. it will decide whether he lives or dies. in closing arguments both parts agreed he took part in the bombing, but they disagree how involved he was. the government told jurors tsarnaev brought terror to main street. eight-year-old martin richard died in the blast. tsarnaev so committed to jihad that he calmly bought milk after the attack and wrote about his actions after he did it.

conservative but he's softening on recent views when it comes to things like iran and it comes to defense. has some libertarians sort of scratching their heads. his challenge here is going to be to get the republican base to hold onto these libertarian that he and his father cultivated and add the young people and minorities he's been pushing for. he's polling pretty close to clinton in some key states. clinton has rented office state in new york. >> thank you so much tracy. right now we want to get down to business with landon dowdy. good morning. >> good morning to you. star bucks plans to expand its college tuition program to cover the entire cost of an online bachelor's degree. it was previously limited to jr.s and seniors looking to
