basilica, the catholic university. chris, thank you, it is the eve of nominating decision. both sides are jockeying for position tonight. they're competing in the south carolina primary tomorrow. the stakes are extreme ly high. the only exception was 2012. donald trump and senator's ted cruz and marco rubio are trading attacks. one key to winning nevada doing well with union workers. >> we may never know if a man accused of killing a d.c. family had help. because the case is likely to go to trial, he has no incentive to give up any accomplices he may have had. flint is just convicted on one murder charge, he will spend the rest of his life in prison. >>> francis and watkins were found shot to death. one of them died at the scene. we still don't know the motive for the shooting. >> if you plan to see the monument in washington, d.c. this weekend, it will be closed. unlike previous shutdowns for elevator problems, this actually has nothing to do with the mechanics of the elevator. the damage was caused by a contractor who was working on a different issue. >> virginia environm

so, catholic universities, other religious institutions. they have filed dozens of these cases, very similar cases, challenging this birth control coverage requirement. and the administration tried to put out an accommodation to satisfy their religious liberty concerns. but they have not been satiated, so these institutions have gone to the supreme court, there are seven cases that the supreme court will hear in one consolidated case in the middle of march. and at this point it's unclear which side is going to prevail. but it's going to be another remind that are obamacare is going to continue to go before the supreme court. obviously we've seen several cases so far. this will be the fourth one in just its six-year history. there aren't other cases in the pipeline yet. but it's reasonable to assume that the legal challenges are going to continue even if they don't quite get to the supreme court. host: we'll keep watching for your tweets @jenhab and your articles on politico.com. thank you so much. guest: thank you.

more on the significance of this meeting, i was joined a short time ago by a father from the catholic university america. the pope's first words to the patriarch were apparently "finally." why has it taken 1000 years for this meeting? patriarch in moscow was established in 1586. the 1000-year rift has to do with constantinople. we also have to remember this was a religion that was under soviet repression and domination for so long. beginning to come out of the underground, beginning to come out of a world that was so controlled that there are suspicions, especially suspicions to the west. finally to have a point where the pope and patriarch of moscow can meet is a great and wonderful occasion. i think it is a sign of moving forward of life. anchor: they are also there to discuss very real issues both churches are confronting today. that is the persecution, and in the pope's words, the terrorism facing christians in syria and iraq. >> the terrorism in the middle east is horrible. the decimation of churches, especially in iraq and syria. hundreds of thousands of our faithful fleeing. i use "our fa

for more, i spoke earlier to the monsignor of catholic university.e is a member of the international commission for theological dialogue between the faiths. almost 1000 years after the split in christianity, we have the pope meeting the patriarch of the russian orthodox church next week. why now? >> well, i think it is good to remind ourselves of some basics. christians believe christ came to reconcile human beings to god and one another. and that the church is meant to be a sign and instrument of that reconciliation. it is a great tragedy and scandal if the church itself is divided. there have been serious divisions in the church. one of the most serious and most long-lasting being the division between catholics and orthodox east and west that goes back nearly 1000 years. there has been a lot of effort in the last 50 years to try and repair that division. the meeting between the patriarch and pope francis is the fruit of a lot of preparation going back many years. anchor: what will the two talk about when they do meet next week? >> they will be awar
