joey jackson and jeff brown are both with us. jeff, i'm going to start with you.ev has been given this well respected public defender, miriam conrad. she also defending the shoe bomber, richard reid. first off, as a defense attorney, how do you wrap your mind around defending these kinds of suspects? >> well, you know, i was appointed to represent a terrorist here in florida. i'm also one of the few lawyers who also qualified to do death cases. i did a federal death case. and that's what this case is going to come down to. when the department of justice comes out and says they're seeking the death penalty, this case is either going to be won or loss when they pick that jury and they qualify that jury for death. and there's not much that the defense attorney is going to have to work on. i think the main focus would be on his age. he's only 19 years old. and focus on the domination of others, especially his brother, in getting him to do these acts. but besides those two, or the third one would probably be no criminal history. besides that, that's really all they're

>> yes. >> brown: david brooks, mark shields, thanks very much. >> thank you, jeff. >> brown: and to recap developments in the boston bombings manhunt. late tonight the second bombing suspect was taken into police custody and headed to the hospital in serious condition with unspecified injuries. the 19-year-old was holed up in a boat in a watertown, massachusetts, backyard. earlier this morning his brother was killed in a shootout with police. moments ago authorities spoke to reporters. >> we're so grateful to be here right now. we're so grateful to bring justice and closure to this case. for those families that lost loved ones or suffered injuries they have to live with the rest of their lives, for a police officer, a young man starting a career at mit, and a police officer with the m.b.t.a. who almost lost his life and from neighborhoods that lived in fear for an entire day, we're eternally grateful for the outcome here tonight. we have a suspect in custody. >> suarez: and that's the newshour for tonight. on monday we'll bring you the latest on marathon bombings plus arguments from

jeff. >> brown: back to the boston bombing story. president obama went to white house briefing room this evening to make a statement on developments. >> good afternoon, everybody. earlier today i was briefed by my homeland security team on the events in boston. we're continuing to monitor and respond to the situation as it unfolds. i've directed the full resources of the federal government to help state and local authorities protect our people, increase security around the united states as necessary, and investigate what happened. the american people will say a prayer for boston tonight, and michelle and i send our deepest thoughts and prayers to families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss. we don't yet have all the answers. but we do know that multiple people have been wounded. some gravely in explosions at the boston marathon. i've spoken to f.b.i. director mueller and secretary of homeland security napolitano. they're mobilizing the appropriate resources to investigate and to respond. i've updated leaders of congres

brown brup you're suggesting it may have life? >> manchin toomeyook risk politically. i think, jeff, that this is an issue and it's fascinating to me. we've seen same-sex marriage emerge as just a bare majority issue in the past three months. and the flood of people running to support it. i mean, heidi hide camp, the new democrat from north carolina heitkamp who voted against the background checks. i'm willing to bet in north dakota there are more people who are for a background check than who are for same-sex marriage and i think it cams back to what david has said. there isn't on the pro-gun control side a political infrastructure. there aren't volunteers in the l.g.b.t. community-- lesbian gay bisexual transgender community-- there's political activity. there are those willing to get involved in the campaign. but there isn't that and there is on the anti-gun side and that's what has m from the pro-gun control side is really shock troops and people willing to volunteer in the field and right checks. >> brown: just in our last 45 seconds, today you were writing how guns and immigra

>> yes. >> brown: david broks, mark shlds, thanks very much. >> thank you, jeff. >> suarez: again, the major developments of the day: authorities lifted a lockdown of the boston metropolitan area this evening, after police spent the day on a manhunt for the surviving suspect in monday's bombings. he remains at large and state police said he fled on foot after his brother was killed in an early morning shootout with police. and, the death toll in the texas fertilizer plant explosion grew to 14, with 200 others wounded. >> bwn: onlinelessons we can learn from misinterpreting economic data. hari sreenivasan has more. >> sreenivasan: a new report finds that previous theories about how too much government debt would stall economic growth were wildly overstated. that's on making sense. and on art beat, a new film documents the story of ukranian jews who hid in underground caves during world war two. all that and more is on our website newshour.pbs.org. ray? >> suarez: and that's the "newshour" for tonight. on monday, we'll bring you the latest on the marathon bombings. plus, arguments at the

. >> brown: but let me -- >> here is the thing, jeff, if i can make an analogy. this isn't a question of access. for example, we could have 20 more restaurants in america, we could have all the restaurants that you want, if you didn't have the department of public health to oversee and to come in and do inspections. but then would you have a lot more food poisoning. and that is what you see in the abortion industry today. yes, we have back alley a, bos and they are run by big a kbortion in this country. >> brown: is the focus in the states precisely because of the dissatisfaction on your side with what is happening in the courts? >> well, this, what is happening out there in our culture today is a grass roots uprising. where you are seeing a response to a completely out of control abortion industry. just in the last six months we've seen two women die in clinics that were legal abortion clinics. and yet there is no oversight being taken care of. and so as a result you have them, you know, what other industry do you see that completely has oversight. for example i

jeff. >> brown: in boston today, confusion erupted over conflicting accounts that there'd been a major break in the investigation of the boston marathon bombings. early this afternoon crowds gathered outside the federal courthouse in south boston, amid reports that a suspect had been identified by security camera videothen arrested and even taken to court. but the f.b.i. shot down claims that anyone was in custody, and it issued a statement that said, in part: the bureau also put off an afternoon briefing, citing a bomb scare that forced everybody out of the courthouse. earlier, the f.b.i. released photos of remnants of the bombs made out of pressure cookers and the black nylon bags that concealed them. one of the pressure cooker lids was catapulted to a nearby rooftop. and investigators kept sifting the crime scene for more clues today. all three people killed in the bombings have now been identified-- eight-year old martin richard, 29-year-old krystle campbell and lu lingzi, a chinese graduate student at boston university. last night, neighbors and friends of martin richard and his family

. >> jeff: terrell brown, thank you. >> joining us now from washington is justice and homeland security correspondent bob orr. bob, with the suspect in the hospital, in this condition, where does that leave investigators? >> it's not clear, jeff, if or when dzhokhar tsarnaev will be able to talk to investigators, we have to say prosecutors really don't need his statement to build a criminal case because they have video evidence of him planting one of the bombs and also police to testify that they saw him take place in two shoot-outs with officers? watertown, massachusetts. but besides all that the fbi really does want to talk to him about the plot, how the bombs were built and how the brothers initially escaped detection. >> jeff: what do we know about its brother's possible terror connection if any? >> well, so far the fbi can't find any evidence that the brothers had any coconspirators in this attack or any connections at all to aar lr ter rohr group, either foreign or domesque. of course they are still looking but from thece s far ofs believe the old ever brother was the key. his soc

terrell brown, cbs news, new york. >> jeff: officials in bangladesh have arrested the owner of the factorybuilding that collapsed last week as he tried to flee the country. at least 377 people were killed and many still trapped. rescue efforts were disrupted today when part of the wreckage caught fire, kelly cobiella has more. >> reporter: crews at the disaster site were moving from rescue to recovery today when they heard voices in the rubble. four more garment workers were pulled out alive. crews were trying to reach another survivor when the debris inside caught fire. they went back for her once it was out but she had died. nurul islam is with the fire brigade. >> we've evacuated many people dead and alive, he said, but in some cases it is not possible. the death toll is now close to 400. several hundred more are still missing. the building owner was flown back to the capitol today under arrest. police say they found mohammed sohel rana trying to cross into india. he's accused of building the eight story structure on soggy, sandy ground, adding three floors without permits. and claiming

brown, cbs news. >>> meteorologist jeff berardelli of our miami station wfor is tracking the flood-producing weather system. >> significant flooding continues in parts of the upper midwest straight through the ohio valley, and as we head through the upcoming week, it looks like more stormy weather is on the way. we have a storm system in the pacific northwest. that will be diving south through the rockies and eventually through the plain states. at that point it will become separated through the jet stream and it will have nothing to kind of steer it to the east. so it looks like the storm will be cut off and almost become stationary across the central part of the country by wednesday, thursday, and friday. and that means heavy rain is likely once again in parts of the midwest and also into the ohio valley. now, as far as the short term, it looks like heavy rain or at least moderate rainfall is possible and nodl, maybe 1 to 2 inches of rain monday into tuesday. significant flooding has been a problem mostly because of snow melt, and now we're going to add a couple of inches of rain early in the week

so but the worst thing we could v i think jeff, would be to lower the rate and not fix these fundamental problems that allow companies to-- the system. >> brown: you're agreeing with at least part of that. >> certainly. i think we have a corporate tax code that hits the worst of all worlds. it's not helping us compete. it's not helping us grow and it raises no revenue. >> brown: and the reason for this is again going back to what you were saying before, the interest. >> in part these international transactions. so if you think about where you could get bipartisan consensus, i think you could get it on, let's get the rate down to 25%, or is it too high. let's do it is a in a revenue neutral fashion. let's not have individuals have to pay for corporate reform. let's make the corporations do their own reform. and then you get to the tough part, how do you want to handle the international transaction. i think the solution to that slets's have a tax code that matches the rest of the developed world and tax companies largely on what they do in the u.s. leaving their brazilian operations to be taxed by brazil. and then pair that, before mr. johnston

congressman steve stockman and paul brown sent a letter to speak john boehner expressing their opposition to background checks. on his facebook page congressman jeff duncan compared the background checks bill to genocide in rwanda. he wrote ask yourselves about a national gun registry database and how that might be used and why it is so wanted by progressives. read about the rojuan dan genocide, the hutu tribes. this database was used to elect for slaughter at the hands of the hutu. i use this example to warn that national databases can be used with evil consequences. i want to bring in the national journal's and roll call. chris comparing background checks to genocide is that an indication how tough could it be? >> they found a dance partner in pat toomey to help get background checks bill that would get bipartisan support through the senate. they opened up debate. we'll have debate next week. lots of patting on the back. there are a number, half-dozen or so vulnerable senate democrats who are unlikely to vote for any final legislation just because they voted to begin debate. doesn't mean they will end it or vote for the final product. then i wan
