welcome back to today in iowa saturday. whitney has brought in a new simple dinner idea. this ones great because it can be a completely one pan dinner. and one bowl in less than an hour. i cut potatoes in wedges, and roasted for 20 minutes. you want to pre-roast your potatoes, a pound of

make a honey mustard sauce. i'm going to use maple syrup. you're going to use about a half a cut of that. and dejion mustard to balance out the flavor. you're going to pour it over the chicken. you're going to have it all ready and pull out your potatoes. throw the sauce over the broccoli and chicken. you can even make more and planovers work well to eat during the week. it can fit into any eating plan. i just used little bite sized potatoes. well thank you whitney for sharing this. we'll also get a link posted. have a great day and thanks again for the

do you think when you are president you'll be paid as much as if you were a man-male... this is one of the jobs where they have to pay you the same. but there are so many examples where that doesn't happen. i'm going to do everything i can to make sure every woman

...as the men who are doing that job. i'm hillary clinton

we are waking up to mild temperatures and some clouds over central iowa. temperatures are in the upper 30s and low 40s. it will stay mild through the day with continued clouds tonight. there may even be a few rain showers that pass by overnight tonight. two days from the critical vote

two days from the critical vote here in iowa, hillary clinton finds herself back under the cloud of the email controversy the state department confirmed for the first time that some of the emails on her personal email server contained government information so secret, it fell under the highest level of classification. andrea mitchell has the story as hillary clinton was campaigning in iowa - the state department dropped the email bombshell: for the first time, labeling 22 emails from her private server top secret - the highest level of classification - as demanded by the intelligence agencies: "these documents were not marked classified at the time they were sent." just minutes earlier, lester had asked clinton about how the email investigation might affect her campaign: anything could happen, indictments could happen. why shouldn't people, as

question, worry about this hanging over your head as you move forward. because the facts have remained the same there was never any information sent or received that was marked classified to me for people who are watching this play out and know the republicans will come after you with an open investigation, shouldn't people have some concern? no they shouldn't lester. i just don't see it as anything that will in any way cause a voter, a voter with an open mind to have any concerns. clinton's campaign called it a bureaucratic turf battle - these emails should be released so that the public can view them. this is an example of over classification run amok. jeb bush tweeted: "we need a president who can be trusted to keep our secrets secret. obviously that's not @hillaryclinton" "this is unacceptable. this is a disqualifier" bernie sanders campaign says he stands by this: the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. the state department wont be releasing these emails now, and

never, but this re ignites the email issue - just as the voters are about to have their say. clinton and her white house rivals are making their case to iowa voters this weekend. the former secretary of state has an event this morning in ames. authorities in california are still looking for two men who escaped a maximum-security prison last week. three men broke out of jail.. using a makeshift rope to jump from the roof. one of the inmates surrendered to police.. officials believe the other two, hossein nayeri -- jonathan tieu -- are still in california -- possibly traveling from san jose to fresno they could be traveling in a white 2008 g-m-c utility van. both men are armed and dangerous. facebook and instagram are telling private gun sellers to take their business elsewhere. the social networks are updating their policies to ban private gun sales on

licensed firearm retailers will still be able to post about their goods and services. but sales of guns by one person to another are not allowed. facebook -- which owns instagram -- also prohibits using either site to sell illegal drugs. the company says if it detects private gun sales, it will remove content that violates the new policy. an avalanche near mcbride, british columbia, has killed five people... the avalanche struck at 1-30 local time on friday about 470 miles from vancouver two groups of snowmobilers were involved and a search team rescued six survivors from one of the group. officials say they received a report of an avalanche event and knows it was human-triggered. water samples from more than two dozen flint, michigan homes revealed lead levels so high, they can't effectively be treated by the water filters being given to residents. officials say the approved

150 parts per billion. the highest lead readings from the samples taken was 4 thousand parts per billion. these latest numbers prompted federal and state leaders to warn people in flint to get their water tested. "there's several thresholds 5 parts per billion is one threshold that we look at for safe drinking water, 15 parts per billion is a threshold that we look at for regulatory compliance issues with water so 150 parts per billion is 10 times that level. " the samples will be retested for accuracy. officials say they will release the results of the retests this weekend or early next week. mardi gras season is kicking into high gear in new orleans with what else... a parade down historic st. charles avenue. people have put up fences and other barriers around their homes and businesses in an effort to contain the anticipated large crowds. parades for the annual pre-lenten celebration are scheduled through

until fat tuesday on february 9th.

there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor,

a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. i know we can create that america if we listen to our hearts. and that journey begins here in iowa. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message, and i ask you to join with us at the caucuses on monday night. thank you. river/downtown skies will be partly sunny to mostly cloudy today and highs

upper 40s. a few rain showers are possible overnight through sunday morning as a weak area of low pressure passes by. sunday will be mainly cloudy with highs in the low 40s and cloudy conditions again on monday with highs in the upper 30s. all eyes are still on an incoming winter storm for early in the week. we could see some light snow showers monday evening, but the bulk of the heavy accumulating snow and strong winds look to occur on tuesday. the storm could impact the tuesday morning commute and definitely the evening commute. blowing snow will remain a problem through

one of the areas that i've been particularly interested in

all of us have a responsibility, to ourselves, to our children, to each other. we intend to be sure that everybody in this room and every child in this state is somebody. no matter where they're born, no matter to whom they are born. our children's future is shaped both by the values of their parents and the policies of their nation. it's time to protect the next generation, fill the lives of our children with possibility and hope, open up the doors so that every child has a chance to live up to his or her god-given potential. i've spent my life fighting for children, families and our country, and i'm not stopping now. (crowd cheers) i'm hillary clinton, and i have always approved this message.
