my guess is that it will take several different approaches and some good management that we learn in aid out of the research to beat this. >> a technique using a lazier to make incisions in the leaves of a tree that's the line you that see and spraying a bacteria into the incisions to get the medicine into the tree's veins, these treated have new growth but they have to figure out how growers use that on a large scale. the usda awarded the university of florida 6 million to research to find a cure. it cannot come soon enough. the it will be the smallest since 1964. mark. >> chris, thank you. a high rise is planned for along the waterfront. the towers proposed to be built on bay to bay. and it is a pretty -- very

and there has been damage but that itself shows the amount of instability and energy in the atmosphere. back home. a squall line. the air continuing may click on with the south wind and high dew points. this was a grown of showers. they moved northeast and we're watching all of this. incredible. something that you see in april or may in the deep south. this is what we get in the el nino winters that we talked many times to expect above normal weather.

there is severe weather. this one here this that goes from pensacola and alabama and mississippi. the center is classifying this as potentially dangerous. we get a few of those that means that you can expect tornadoes in the box f you have friends or kids are at school in fsu tell them to pay attention the line will my great and produce storms up in the capital. we're high and dry. lots of energy and dynamics. and the subtropical ent. low level winds from the south.

we call that vertical sheer. that's the culprit. we're in yellow. that's a risk of severe weather. that's the viewing area. can you say here we are okay, here we are not, that's the risk in the viewing area tomorrow as the line moves by. i think the main threat will not be tireds. a day time event so many happened at 3:00 in the morning. midnight. at least it will be day time. can you pay attention have your app standing by. 9 a.m. to noon they move on shore. they move steadily to the south and east. ending by evening and watch it. here is the front. moving across the gulf. that is shooting away from us. there is enough to produce the down bursts at the surface. the cold front is by and it

no one plays the i i don't think they play or handle the job better than steven stamkos. this time it is a position change and it is the natural position after he fell into a

and scored a goal in each of the last three games. is more comfortable there. and he takes the line why he is found his scoring touch. >> it is what it is. wherever i am. >> we're not playing the right side of the puck and not competing. that goes for individuals. when you get away from the things you cannot expect to have that same success. hopefully we can move past some of the issues that we had and get better. >> and evan longoria comes to training a week early. he will play it more relaxed. he thinks that trying to do too

he spent the break reading a book about pressure. and looking to take on a more active role as a leader which is great to hear. the rays are talking contract extension with a pitcher. and even though he has not thrown a pitch in the game yet t is the top prospect and the second player to get a long term deal before he plays in the first game. they are just in the early stages. the hottest has to be catcher. and getting pushed this spring. >> , they are good. ky not say enough. came in. in great shape. worked hard. >> we'll have obviously like last year another battle. what very to let things play out. >> i don't think it is fair to guys. they all had, did some good things last year.

we have to let's them play a bit. >> and meanwhile out in arizona the cubs are trying to find a way back to the series after being swept by the mets. it has been 100 years since they won a championship. and they were being asked about the curse over the cubs. >> we want to go and embrace the target. there is a big target. i'm trying to give them different weapons how to deal with that. it is one thing to approach it properly and work the process throughout the day. people may be watching and may consider it psycho babble. but there is no other way to approach it. if you do another way are you falling into a trap. >> and i like the way he words that. psycho babble. psycho babble.

drama on the runway.3

the phone of a the fight over the phone over the terrorists is one of the biggest battles ever. the justice department is trying to get apple to break the code. the attorney-general is making a statement on the matter. as we report, some titans in the industry are weighing in as well. prosecutors are asking a court to force apple to prod software to help the f.b.i. guess the pass code belonging to terrorists. law enforcement across the country needs to be able to use technology to gather evidence in criminal cases 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 protecting privacy and security. i think we can do both. >> the microsoft breaking ranks

f.b.i. in this legal battle. >> the courts are going to rule precedent. i think people want the government to act on behalf and the safeguards are there. >> others like the facebook founder are siding with apple. >> i don't think requiring back coors into encryption will be effective way to increase security or the right thing to do for just the direction of the world is going in. >> as the debate rages on the majority of americans are in favor of apple helping the f.b.i. support remembers conducting rallies across the country from new york to san francisco and here in los angeles. in los angeles, adam hausley. >> we'll talk with jeff brun about the battle. the president makes an effort to shut down the detention facility.

to remove detainees in the u.s. or other countries perhaps. there are 91 in guantanamo and the president said it had bipartisan support in the past starting with the former president george w bush. >> the nearly 800 detainees held at guantanamo, more than 85% have been transferred to other countries. more than 500 of the transfers, by the way. were under president bush. >> many republicans and democrats are wary of closing the facility and having to transfer the inmates. the presidential election is weighing heavily in replacing justice scalia. senate republicans are vowing not to hold hearings for anyone the president nominates to replace the justice. they're refusing to meet privately with whomever he picks. the gop said they will not permit a vote and the majority leader said the senate will

the race, no more empty promises, we want a proven constitutional person who will fight the washington cartel and fight for the working men and women. >> they have both gone after donald trump, this very gone after each other and that's helping donald trump, i never heard a politician call another a liar. it was a thing of beauty. >> after nevada it heats up with 11 states voting. trump is leading in most of the polls with four other candidates splitting. ben carson is running and comparing himself to a turtle. >> remember the tortoise and the hare? >> if you give up on the tort yours too early you only have the hare who was not effective. >> and john kasich is playing the long game. >> i'll beat donald trump in ohio. we'll be fine in ohio.

respect respectable finish and accumulate dell gates. >> it sets up wins for trump through next week and a battle in florida on march 15th. , our pollster surveyed people in georgia and donald trump has a double digit lead followed by marco rubio and cruz. a wild crime scene in phoenix. first responders at a house fire had to run and duck for cover when someone opened fire on them. as they were fighting the blaze, police rushed in to help the victims. five people were dead including the gunman. they were members of the same family. the youngest victim was a 6-year-old girl. >> i heard things and saw things as i'm down here i have not seen in 30 years. an active shooter in a burning home shooting at people trying to help them.

an imagine is come ing to fiji after a cyclone devastated the country. the death toll is at 29. more than 8000 people are living in centers. many communities are cut off. winston tore through the island chain over the weekend. the syrian government said it will accept the terms of the seas fire brokered by the u.s. and russia. it includes attacks on isis and other groups. >> the pieces are being worked out to take effect in syria on saturday. the government and opposition group agreeing with the conditions to the u.s.-russia protecterred plan. it will put in place a pact between opposition and asaid's government. and freeing up the groups to attack isis and al-qaeda.

that policing the ceasefire will be difficult with no u.s. or nato troops to enforce it. >> there will not be any force on the ground or monitors to look at this other than where we get information from in terms of intelligence add through reports on the ground. >> another worry is aen surgenerals ready to push the advantage. they are warning against offensives during the ceasefire saying it, quote, stresses the right to retaliate answer any violation carried out. and war wary syrians hope the plan will bring some stability but many are sceptical about the prospects for peace in a country barely recognizable after five years of civil war. >> the tests. they don't have any decision.

decisions from the outside. , the u.s. hopes it will jump start the talks t sun clear if they resume. >> there is are a lot of questions about the ceasefire and where the fighting -- fighting would tap and where inter coulder terrorism would continue. and who will blink first the standoff between the f.b.i. and

that's ((kelly--vo-)) it's a stand off with epic consequences. as we told it is a standoff with epic consequences. apple is fighting the f.b.i.'s order to break into the

shooters. and the defiance has created controversy over privacy. let's bring in jeff brown. first of all, what is wrong with the government's request? >> this is where it is complicated and the public is split. if you are asking someone on the street and you said should the government get into an iphone to stop terrorism. everyone would say yes. nobody is disagreeing, there is of software where there is no back door. they are asking apple or having a judge tell apple they need to create the back door. and they are saying to them. you need to create this faster key, you tonight have it yet but create one for us. but you need to create it to get into the phone.

problem with all of this lies they will be given the key and destroyed but it will be out there and everyone's phone may be hacked into, that's what apple is trial trying to prevent. prevent where they cannot control it and anyone can get into the iphone. >> even facebook has come out on apple's side at this point. is there a scenario here where both sides could get what they ultimately want? >> it's not as if on older phone this is very helped them get into them. they are willing to do that. >> there is no software that's created to allow apple to get into the phone. what the court is saying you have to create this. that's a step we don't get into.

it is another when the court says and f.b.i. asking to you create something that has yet to be created. that's the problem that apple says we don't want to create this and be responsible for destroying it later on so nobody gets into it. everyone wants to know what is in this and fight terrorism. at what point is it more heavily wayed it is terrorism so forget privacy rights add big brother. let's do this. that's a tough question for most people that are thinking about this. we do want to fight terrorism but it is bigger than that. what happened if aim does not do that, they have until friday to respond. there will be something they file but could you always end up with contempt of court and have

you're not doing it. i assume they will file a response and there will be some appeals, that's what would happen. but theoretically if they refuse to do it as a rule of law they could be held in contempt. you have to live in a society where we follow the rules. >> what will happen. who will win? >> this is a tough one. i don't think apple was going to allow themselves to be forced to to this. i think it is difficult to force someone to create something. one thing to say that you have the master key. give it to us. they say we don't have a master key, apple, you need to create one and allow us into the phone. that's a different thing to do to have a judge force someone to create it.
