ALJAZAM Your World This Morning February 23, 2016

Welcome to your world this morning im stephanie sy. And im del walters and the gop caucusing there today. And donald trump say he is the frontrunner but its very unpredictable and we are live in las vegas outside of what will be the gop caucus headquarters and good morning and what in particular explains the trump phenomenon in nevada . Well, stephanie i think you hit on a very interesting point which is the unpredictability of the state and has a population of 3 million and expect 3040,000gop caucus goers later today and that is not that much as percentage of republicans which means the state has been unpredictable in the past when it comes to polling, now having said that though donald trump has a comfortable double digit mark over cruz and rubio and what some supporters had to say from monday night rally. He gives us what we need and Financial Stability and Strong Military and need to feel secure when we get on an airplane, when we go out to anything in las vegas or anywhere and think he will bring that to us. First time in my life im happy with the person who is running which is trump and he speaks our language, the average joe blows language and will do what he says he is going to do not like a politician and promise you the world and give you nothing. Something to add to the showmanship people in las vegas and nevada and dont forget reno and relying on the Entertainment Industry and tourism and expect a big businessman like trump with showmanship skills. Marco rubio spent part of his child in nevada and does he think that will be an advantage for him . Well stephanie you would think so but this is a very weird state. I mean nevada is a transient state with a lot of newcomers and people coming to work in las vegas for a few years and move on, dont forget the financial crisis a few years ago meant a lot of people had to leave las vegas due to foreclosure so the fact somebody spent time in the state may not be as big a deal in nevada as other states and marco rubio will have events in the morning but not sticking around nevada later this evening during the caucuses. Now, the other thing about nevada i mentioned is its hard to put in a box and looking at the gop field here, here is a state heavily reliant on gambling, control, marijuana is likely to be passed, the legalization of marijuana in the next couple of years and so you have a lot of things that are not exactly mainstream conservative which going back to the trump phenomenon might appeal to a lot of conservative nevada people. What about ted cruz how is his support there . Well, cruz has been very interesting in nevada, he has gone after what i would call the clive and bundy vote and talked a lot of the federal land grants issue, the fact 80 percent of the state actually administered by the federal government because of the number and amount of public land in nevada and that has been a run that he has gone after the rural vote, if you leave las vegas very quickly this state becomes rural and that is what ted cruz has been going after is those supporters of cliven bundy and those who support state sovereignty. Malaysia chan for us in las vegas thank you. On the subject of ted cruz he asked Campaign Communications director to resign and rick tyler putting up a video on social media falsely claiming that rubio said something derogatory about the bible and he deleted it and apologized and rubio said its part of a pattern by the Cruz Campaign and Ohio Governor john kasic defending signing a bill to block funds for planned parenthood in the state and during a Campaign Stop in virginia he insisted ohio will fund Womens Health programs and apologized for saying he first got elected with women who left their kitchens to campaign for him. He said the comments were not artfully made. For both sides the path to nomination comes down to delegates and this morning Hillary Clinton has gotten a small bump in her lead after a technical issue she got a delegate from the primary last night and won 5 and tops bernie 5251 and does not include super dell egypts like members of congress who do not vote on primary results and clinton leads 451 to 19. There are 59 total delegates up for grabs in South Carolina and four days left until that primary and most polls clinton has a substantial lead there roughly 20 Percentage Points and both camps are still campaigning hard especially for the African American vote and sanders suggested last night clinton may not be genuine about her commitment to that community. The people of the United States need to know the difference between hastilyadopted Campaign Rhetoric and the real record and the longheld ideas of the candidates. Reporter historically more than 50 of democratic voters in South Carolina have been African American. Clinton got 76 of the black vote in last weeks nevada primary. Missouri senator says she is taking three weeks off from the senate because she is being treated for Breast Cancer and shared that news on social media saying her prognosis is good and expects to make a full recovery and she is a two term democrat. Investigation underway in the netherlands in a deadly train accident and six people died when it hit a crane in the crossing in the northeastern part of the country and the train was thrown from the tracks on its side and Officials Say about a dozen people were on board at the time of the crash, most of them were hurt. Emergency workers are still searching the wreckage for anyone trapped. A small glimmer of hope in the International Hope to end the blood shed in syria and government agreeing to a truce that was brokered by the u. S. And russia that pact is set to begin Early Saturday Morning armed Opposition Groups who want to take part must confirm they will do so by friday, the pact does not include i. S. I. L. , alnusra front and other organizations that u. N. Considers terrorists and unclear how the truce will be enforced. We recognize im sure all of you do as well that this is going to be difficult to implement and there are a lot of obstacles and sure to be some setbacks. Later this morning secretary of state john kerry will go before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and will under go questions about the truce and we are live from gaza in Southern Turkey and omar how significant is this news this morning that the Assad Government has agreed to this truce . Reporter well, it is an important step, however, the Syrian Government said in a statement that the Islamic State of iraq and the levante i. S. I. L. And el nusra are not included nor are rebel groups that are linked to those groups so you can see how wide they left it wide open in terms of who they are targeted and because there is no agreement between the u. S. And russia as to who composes or makes a terrorist organization or not, i think the list could be wide open and therefore the attacks will resume against those groups. And omar as you pointed out so many different factions involved in the fighting there, does this increase the possibility that the armed Opposition Groups we hear so much about are going to accept the deal before fridays deadline . That is the other big question because we have been in touch for example with one of the biggest groups inside syria and they told us that they are waiting on their political leaders to meet and to decide on the fate of the truce or they will accept it or not. Other groups like for example i. S. I. L. Which is one of the most powerful groups clearly is not interested in any sort of a ceasefire or peace deal nor is el nusra front and could be some pressure on alnusra front by using the influence or leverage of other conservative groups who have been on the front and their position could be clear perhaps in the next few days. Omar in Southern Turkey, as always we thank you very much. This morning greece is starting to remove thousands of migrants from a long the border with macedonia. We are here Asylum Seeker and a place for asylum and let us go. Reporter these migrants most of them afghans are being bussed to athens, many have been trapped there for days after macedonia tightnessed its border and stopped letting afghan refugees in, the International Organization for migration says 100,000 migrants arrived in grooegs greece and italy since the start of the year. Oil prices are starting the day above 33 a barrel, the highest they have been in weeks and today the Saudi Oil Minister is in texas to address a huge Energy Industry conference in houston, it will be alis first public appearance in the u. S. Since opec decided two years ago to keep pumping oil despite the over supply and it has tanked oil prices and the head of the International Agency said prices will double by 2020 in part because Oil Companies are cutting back on new exploration. Looking at the weather, severe storms expected across the gulf states today and lions and tigers and bears oh, my, nicole. We had a set up for this yesterday and this is video out there from the texas region and looking at high winds and dealing with that across the region and that was just the precursor to what we were going to see through today because that was the set up and so now today we will get into more of the serious weather as all of this moves along. But continuing through the course of the day definitely the Severe Weather will roll in. Here is a look at the satellite map with that and we have more of the weather that developed through the Southern Tier across the country. Continuing through today and into tomorrow we have a high risk area for anywhere from louisiana all the way to there we go all the way to the panhandle of florida is what we are looking at the moderate risk area. This is an elevated risk on the scale there is only one level higher that is a high risk so that means we are looking at some potential for tornados today, damaging winds and hail and some of those tornados could be strong. So we will watch that through today and then this shifts its way through the course of the day tomorrow up the coastline so we have an enhanced risk not quite as high as today but a couple stormy days we are going to be dealing with. In the meantime all of that moisture that we are going to be looking at pretty widespread so it spreads up the coastline more today and we have a couple Different Things going on with all of this, first of all on the backside you get the colder air, we also have the higher winds across this region so through the south and outside of thunderstorms we are going to watch for some of those high winds and then as we get to the Northern Tier of this as this comes in its cold enough that first some of this could be sleet or snow then the warmer air with the system transitions in and that transfer of thunderstorms then on the backside of all of this it transitions back to snow with some colder air, that is more for the great lakes and northeast but we will see that, its just straight rain for the southern portion but some rain in the great lakes or the snow could be 68 Going Forward and that is the stuff that is really heavy to shovel and high moisture content and we do have the areas of snow so definitely some problems with this system through today. Okay nicole thank you. Coming up, the murder spree in michigan. Suspected gunman behind those shootings has his day in court by investigators are left wondering what led up to the rampage in the first place. Toxic hazards sold by Lumber Liquidators that the c. D. C. Says is worse than first reported. In a few hours the Obama Administration will release its long awaited plan for closing the Guantanamo Bay prison. Deliver details to congress and its controversial and likely call for transferring some of those detainees to the u. S. Something congress has been balking at for years and likely to do so again and jamie is live for us at the pentagon and jamie what do we know about those plans so far . Reporter today is the deadline for the plan to be submitted to congress and looks like the pentagon will meet that and no surprises it will call for the closer of guantanamo and what president obama promised at the very beginning of his term, it will call for the continued transfer of many of the detainees to other countries right now there are just over 90 detainees but another 35 or so are expected to be transferred by this summer and that will leave about 60 left and of course the most controversial part of the plan will be to transfer those remaining 60 detainees who for one reason or another cant be tried in the courts or in the military Commission System to some facility in the United States. Now originally back late last year the pentagon had identified the super max prison in florenc, california to put them and there was push back from the colorado authorities that now this plan will include an array of possible places to send the detainees 13 different prisons and some at military facilities and some private prisons and this will begin and is supposed to be a starting point for anything negotiations that has a law in place for transferring the detainees to the United States. As we and you have been pointing out this has been highly controversial from day one so how does the president convince congress this is something they want to go along with . Well, its going to be a really tough sell because members of congress have dug in against it and feel guantanamo needs to remain open particularly as the United States has a war against i. S. I. L. And syria and other detainees may need to be brought there and they are making an economic argument because its expensive to house them and estimated four million per prisoner there and laying out the economic argument it would be cheaper to house them this a super max facility in the United States rather than do upgrades that are needed at guantanamo and continue there and economic argument but right no there is no indication that the republicans who control both houses of congress are in any mood to lift those legal restrictions against the transfer of detainees to the United States. This one was of the president s Campaign Promises going to close gitmo, is it too little too late now . It certainly looks like the opportunity is slipping away. The president does have one other option, the sort of Nuclear Option which he is not talking about which is if it gets close to the end of his term and congress is not cooperating he could decide that the law prohibiting him from transferring those detainees is unconstitutional and as commander in chief he has the authority to decide where detainees are housed and could unilaterally over the housing objections of congress transfer them at the end of his term as he leaves and would result in a constitutional crisis or Supreme Court case and could be after he left office and after guantanamo was closed and its in his back pocket if he wants to exercise that. Jamie live for us at the pentagon and thank you very much and stay with us because coming up, we will take a look into the plan with the former Intelligence Officer and in our next hour we are going to be talking with former guantanamo detainee. This morning the man accused of shooting spree in kalamazoo, michigan is in jail facing murder charges and police trying to figure out a motive as the Community Remembers the six People Killed and andy reports. Are you Jason Brian Dalton . Yes. Reporter it was the first we heard from an alleged mass shooter in kalamazoo, facing six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Is there anything you wish to tell the court at this time concerning your connections with the community . I would prefer just to remain silent. Reporter 45yearold jason dalton spent seven minutes in court where a judge denied him bail, investigators still wondering what led to the rampage on saturday night in which eight people were gunned down ranging in age from 1474. Now we dont know why he did this yet. He has been nonemotional in the context that im aware of. Reporter prosecutors say dalton shot a woman in an apartment complex on saturday night but she survived and was able to give police a description of the gunman and his car. But before they could find him police say dalton randomly gunned down teenager tyler smith and his dad who were checking out cars at an auto dealer and told local media that it shows dalton sneaking up behind the two before opening fire and on to a restaurant parking lot where police say dalton walked up the vehicles that four women ages 6074 were sitting in and killed them all and critically hurt a 14yearold girl with them.
