and a closer look at the battle on capitol hill, deep spending cuts, ahead in less than 15 minutes on happening now. finger tips. and my toes and body rigid. lift. okay. don t try this. get your husband to triit tonight, but not you. bill: a superhero of fitness, jack lalanne with his dog, happy there. the king of pumping iron and push-ups and the king of health, really, left us over the weekend at the age of 1996 and, celebrated his 60th birthday, swimming across san francisco bay, and, towing a boat and, the fitness was contagious, jack lalanne, dead at the age of 96. martha: started a lot of activity in living rooms across the country with videotapes and i thought it was funny and, he
population, 3200. piece are pictures. the town has been ordered to evacuate because of fires caused by natural gas line pressure problems, these are fires they re talking about, tv news reports on the ground say that community-wide evacuation was put out just a short time ago, along lake earie, northeast of cleveland, no immediate word on the severity of the fires or whether or not anyone was injured as a result. the emergency management agency of lake county says that calls have overwhelmed the telephone dispatchers. there you see something drifting to the right and firefighters on the scene with the water canon out. get this. it is 7 degrees in east cleveland. and the red cross is helping set up a shelter for those evacuated. there will be a lot of people potentially who may need shelter, especially with these weather conditions. so some sort of gas line leak, with fires erupting as a result, at a time when these conditions are, frankly, trying, to say the least, even for folks in
these numbers are very fluid at this point. but it looks to be a very serious situation unfolding at this airport. greg palkot is with us right now with more on this, he s working on this story for us. greg, over to you. reporter: we re monitoring reports coming in just in the last ten minutes or so, some kind of a blast at moscow s main international airport. this is where a lot of folks, not just from europe, but the united states, travel through. the latest reports are that this blast occurred in the international arrivals hall of that airport. we don t have it specified on whether it happened on the actual baggage carousel or not but actually where passengers arrived, coming in from outside of russia from europe, from the united states. that s all from at that is from at least one report, and as you noted, ten dead, also, 20 injured. there are other reports that this might be a suicide bomber. but we have no confirmation of that. and now there s a lot of speculation. of course,
i should say. we don t know the answer but it took place inside the airport. not on board a plane or outside, but inside the airport. which is intriguing, nonetheless. russia s busiest airport, about a year ago, one of the main train lines that runs from moscow to st. petersburg, was blown off the tracks. and when you hear people like vladimir putin talk about challenging the chechen separatists and the rebels who launched many attacks upon the russian people over the years, this will be not only heavily investigated from the chechen standpoint, but, also, since we do not have the source of whatever caused this, you know, was it some sort of other interference from the outside? the airport handles primarily international flights, but, we understand there are domestic flights as well and at the moment, we don t have a lot of answers, all we have is carnage inside though airport terminal. martha: and the witness, we heard from one witness, who owns a cafe done the hall from the area and
