Thank you, indra, for the update. Appreciate it. Standoff happening right now, the scene in midland city, alabama. A man boarded a school bus yesterday, shot the driver, grabbed a 6yearold boy, took that boy hostage, then officials say, the suspect took the boy into an underground bunker, that he had been building for years. Right to reporter josh with affiliate wdhn, live on the phone with us from midland city. Has the latest. Josh, where are we now in the hostage standoff . Reporter i can tell you, the suspect and his 6yearold hostage are held up in that underground bunker on dikes property in dale county. Authorities say even though the child is still being held. He is physically okay. One Law Enforcement official indicated to us earlier that the little boy has special needs and is, perhaps, autistic. As of now, the fbi is in charge of the operation, which has been going on for over 12 hours. This all started yesterday afternoon when dikes allegedly boarded a Dale County School bus and demanded the hostage of one kid. The bus driver resisted that request, and were told by witnesses that he moved to protect the kids, and he was shot multiple times by dikes. The bus driver has since died and then since then, dikes and the 6yearold hostage have been held up in that underground bunker. Dikes, in his 60s. A white male. Neighbors say he has a history of mental issues. He had a prior brush with the law. Court records indicate dikes was arrested in december on a menacing charge and due in court today on that charge, and its believed that shooting and hostage situation is how connected to that Court Appearance today. Again, the young victim still being held hostage, but is physically okay. This could go on for some time. Neighbors say dikes has been building this bunker for a while now, and he has enough supplies to last for several months. Josh, i have to ask a couple of questions. The first, do we know any details about the relationship between dikes and the 6yearold boy . Are they related in some way . Reporter as of right now, we do not have that information. Police have not given us an update on any information for several hours now. But we do not have that information at the time. Final question. You are being told that the boy is physically okay. How do we know, since hes in an underground bunker . Reporter well, i can tell you that police have been communicating with dikes through a pcv pipe that is in the ground. I suppose its for air. And the boy, who actually takes medication for his autism, got his medication and hes been fed, because dikes has allowed this to happen. Josh, thank you, we appreciate the update. What a bizarre, bizarre and horrific story. Well continue to monitor that story as it unfolds over the next hour and maybe even days and weeks. All right. Lets talk about finance this morning. Good news. Investor optimism. After five years of the market rally, were convinced. Alltime highs now, very close to that for the Dow Jones Industrial average. Could happen this week. A record shattering 55 billion of new money pumped into stock funds this month. Stocks closing higher yesterday. The dow now 15 points, soledad, from 14,000. The highest level in five years, about 200 points shy of an alltime high. Whoever thought we would say that . Dow, 14,000. The s p has doubled since those horrible days. That is most likely what reflects your stocks and 401 k . Really close to a record high there as well. Couple of things going on here, the fed has been propping up the economy. We know this, for years now, and the fed meeting going on today, more from the fed today. Corporate profits coming in. Not hiring, but squeezing out money and thats what the dow and the s p measure, right . Not job prospects, but corporate profitability and thats been doing well and the economy is healing and investors coming back in part because of the Housing Market is convincing regular people that things are getting better. Look at home prices. Its been years that i could say home prices rose 5 year over year, soledad. It feels so good. Does it last . A lot of people say, wow, it looks like we are set up for a fall. When regular people come rushing in, the market falls down. Were in the final stages of a long bull run. But sometimes that can be the most profitable for people. Thats why investors coming back in. Christine, thank you. A damning new report that puts Alex Rodriguez and several other plays in the center of surprise, surprise performanceenhancing drugs. They got Human Growth Hormone and other substances from a south florida anti aging clinic. Rodriguez is denying the report. He has denied things in the past, he denied he used peds until he confessed in 2009. John zarrella is following the story for us. Reporter tenants at this Office Building where this anti aging clinic was said there were always fancy cars, always loss of people coming and going from the clinic. But that stopped abruptly a couple weeks ago. It was called biogensis, run out of the Office Building in coral gables, florida, until two weeks ago when it shut down, the vacant business in the center of another saga of performanceenhancing drugs, p. E. D. S and Major League Baseball players. A report in the my kniami new times says this was a pipeline to a lot of players. Biogensis was selling a lot of hgh and a number of other drugs banned in sports. Testosterone, anabolic steroids, and the records weve seen indicate that, you know, as for the a population, providing the same kind of drugs to professional legalities. And they are banned substances . Thats correct. Reporter according to Major League Baseball, three players have been disciplined under the leagues joint drug program. In a statement major league you baseball says were in the midst of an active investigation and gathering and reviewing information. We will refrain from any further comment until this process is complete. Representatives of new york yankee Alex Rodriguez, identified in the new times article, but not named as being disciplined, issued this outright denial. The news reports about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true. Alex rodriguez was not boschs patient. He was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. Gio gonzalez, a pitcher also named in the around tweeted i never used performanceenhancing drugs at any time, nor i ever will. I have never met or spoken with tony bosch. Bosch ran the clinic according to the new times and others in the building. He was the one running the clinic. Reporter he used to come by all the time . Definitely. Reporter were there a lot of highend clients that would come here . Definitely some expensive vehicles coming in and out. Highend clients i would definitely say. Reporter we tried, but not able to reach bosch for comment. The dea wouldnt comment on whether bosch or biogensis was being investigated. Major League Baseball reiterated, there was no place in the game for banned substances. But clearly for americas pastime, the issue is far from in the past. You know, it is unclear, what, if anything, is being done to locate tony bosch, if there really is any interest on the part of the Drug Enforcement administration in talking to bosch. As i said in the piece, not talking about what, if any, investigation into bosch or his company is going on. Soledad. John zarrella, thank you. Coming up, well speak with Dan Shaughnessy of the boston globe about this. And business news. Research in motion unveils the new blackberry 10. This is not it. But r. I. M.

The scathing new report by the Miami New Times, pointing fingers at Alex Rodriguez as a possible client of this anti aging clinic. The clinic may or may not show they delivered performance enhancing drugs to arod and other big named players, lets get to dawn shaughnessy, author of the new book francona and a reporter for the boston globe. What does your gut tell you about this report . They always say no. They always deny. We understand that. And, unfortunately, for alex right now in the Lance Armstrong fallout, people arent really believing that, plus arod has history with this. He three, four years ago, 2009, confessed to us very fully at the time. Young and immature, talking about transgressions from 2000, 2003. And people cut him slack, believed him. If this comes out to be true, it wont be good for alex. That came, that confession, came after lots of lying about it. Oh, yeah. He went on 60 minutes with katie couric who asked him flat out if he used steroids and he said no. And he had cocome back and say he lied. They dont really have a lot of corroborating material. Would you be more likely does it make you disbelieve it more, make you feel like its reasonable for someone allegedly giving you performance enhancing drugs, keep records with their names. That seems kind of strange to me. It could be an elaborate hoax to make somebody look bad. On the other hand, two or three of the people on the list were caught red handed by mlb and did serve 50dameuspensions. Some are known to be dirty. The relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch not true. Alex rodriguez, never treated by bosch and never advised by him. How unusual that not coming from the yankees, not arod himself, coming from i guess some p. R. Firm of citric company. I think alexs representatives say there is no truth to the story. This will get dicey with the yankees and mlb. Alex rodriguez, five years remaining on a contract that will pay him 114 million. He had hip surgery, declining skill sets. So this could lead to a battle for the yankees to try and get out from under that contract. Walk me through those options. They wanted to do it anyway what are the options there . The options, a big whoa with the Baseball Players association. They would protect the player as they always do. But yankees probably want out from under the contract anyway. They might have something to hang that on. May be able to force him to try to retire or something, leave voluntarily and take some kind of settlement. Ammunition for yankees to use. If anything, dan, were were proven down the road, whoever paid out some kind of settlement, i would assume would have legal grounds to get that back if down the road it were proven to be true, these allegations, right . Absolutely. Try and get your money and this guy has 647 home runs in the big league. He would hit. 800 and do it cleanly. Thats all behind him now. Interesting to watch. Dawn shaughnessy, great to see you. Appreciate it. Still ahead, well talk more about the new blackberry. Christine held one up. Not the new one. What it means for r. I.
