Defense . We have wild storms moving over the country and bringing heavy rain and tornados and even snow in may. Welcome to a brand new hour of happening now. I am jon scott. And i am jenna lee. Snow in may is much. In colorado. Folks in the midwest hit with the fiercest of the storms. What you are seeing is the damage left behind. Roofs blown off and homes and buildings destroyed and trees toppled and thankfully no reports of serious injuries so far. And a wildfires in texas north of amarillo burning and destroying homes and buildings and forcing hundreds of people to evacuate. And a spring snow storm outside of denver. The storm dropped a foot of snow in areas. We have the Fox Extreme Weather Center aptly titled as it is. Try three feet of snow in the mountains of wyoming. As john mentioned, yes, it happen. And across the denver proper area. It is a little late in the season. Look at snow totals for colorado. And two feet in the four corner ares region. And denver itself 3 5 inches. There is the snow flying over den rer and casper and billings and parts of the dakotas. We are seeing heavy snowfall. It is incredible for the middle of may. In some cases it is record setting and we see hail and damaging winds and isolated tornados and a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of wisconsin and illinois and south of the green bay area. And potential for Severe Weather south of the dallas area. This is ahead of a cold front. A very serious threat extending from south texas up to the great leaks. Gusty winds could prompt more wildfires danger with the cold front moving through. Look at this. 34 in denver right now with snow and 82 in dallas and 82 in san antonio and warm in the Southern Plains as the front pushes through and continue the threat for Severe Weather in the Mississippi River valley tomorrow. And the snow as well. It is extreme. What a way to begin a week. Thank you. Select committee on benghazi playing a waiting game. Democrats are deciding if they participate in the panel. Or will they boycot it altogether. Republicans are forging ahead. The chairman said it will be fair and extensive. Chief intelligence correspondent Kathryn Harris has more from dc. Reporter they responded to the idea of it being a political stunt. They know better. I hope they will appoint five serious people. I have seen the Intelligence Committee work nothing a bipartisan way to get the facts. My mission is clear. To get to the facts of the deaths. Five of them are lawyers and all have relevant experience. Including the House Armed Services committee. The federal prosecutor pushed back against claims that previous investigations answered all of the questions. I dont have access and never intervowed susan rice or ask the secretary of state questions about the lead up to benghazi and while we were still there. One of the requests from democrats that they have ability to subpeona witnesses and documents and have equal representation from the Committee Investigating the benghazi terrorist attackine though they are the Minority Party in the house. We participated in the investigations and if it is a fair and open and balanced process, absolutely. We dont want to see reckless handling of the affair that took lives of four americans. Reporter they have another week at least to consider their political strategy. Thank you, kathryn. Youre welcome. One of the president s top advisers in the financial crisis giving a look behind. Timothy geithener wrote a bock called stress test. Ed henry is live in the north lawn with more. Why are the eyebrows raised . Reporter it is a tumultuous time when he was in charge of the Financial Department in the crisis. They are going to get attention and the political antidotes such as one where the secretary talks about a meeting he had with one of the top political advisors here and white house aides prepare him for sunday morning talk show appearances. He specifically writes i remember in one roosevelt room prep session i objected when dan ph ieffer wanted me to not say Social Security contributed to the deficit. There you can see the secretary suggesting that he was told to say one thing he was not comfortable saying on the sunday shoes. I spoke to one of his advisors who tells me, he is not alleging in the book he was told to mislead the public in the sunday show appearances. Instead he is saying what he wrote in the book and meant advisors prepping him for the sunday shoes wanted giethener to send a signal to the left that Social Security would not be touched. That is a political message to put out but not an attempt for giethener to mis lead the public. Thank you. Decision day in ukraine. Pro russian separatist declared a land slide victory. 90 percent of the voters favor sovereignty and suspect sussession from the ukraine. The u. S. And western allies will not recognize the results and the Central Government in kiev called the process a sham. Greg . John, they are doing more than declaring victory. They are declaring independence and asking to join up with russia. At least thats what the leaders are saying. Along with the winning margin they had a 75 percent turn out in the referundum. Kiev said it was 30 percent. We were here on the ground and we saw irregularities. So far, the kremlin hasnt responded to the separatist leaders. The results should be respected and implemented and at the same time there should be talks between here and kiev as the fighting continues. Take a look at what we saw today. Reporter this is a town where one of the few places the forces tried to stop the referundum. Today people are angry but satisfied about the results of that reverundum. Two people there were killed in that town when Ukranian National guards men shot above and around the crowd. The place that hadnt about been a scene of the militants was not ready to reconcile with cove keef. They are branding the military occupiers and armed militants around. That that is definitely a volatile mix. Moscow troops across the border are looking on. Greg, thank you. The terror group boko haran. The girls are vooeled and most of of the girls are christians. Teams from u. S. And france are there to help the Nigeria Government find them. The taliban launching deadly attacks in afghanistan in the annual start of the spring offensive.

American troops and allied forces have been leaving that country. Now a fox news alert. The centers for Disease Control will hold an Important News conference. Cvc is investigating a second case of the deadly mers virus. Mers is a new virus that sickened a few hundred people mostly in saudi arabia. Well update you. The fight for control of congress. Republicans hope to win back the senate in november. And why new political analysis said not so fast. It may not happen and the gop should not count out the democrats just yet. Marco rubio making waves with new comments on 2016. What the florida senator had to say when asked if he is ready to be president. And a new film said forget fat. It is not the biggest culprit in the obesitty epidemic. Get in on the discussion. P ou. Thats keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. But if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler. If frustration and paperwork decrease. If grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. The gap begins to close. So lets simplify things. Lets close the gap between people and care. How did i know . Well, i didnt really. See, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive. But when i started losing energy and became moody. Thats when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. We discussed all the symptoms. Then he gave me some blood tests. Showed it was low t. Thats it. It was a number not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1. 62 testosterone gel. The 1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. Women and children should avoid contact with application sites. Discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. Men with Breast Cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. Serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. So. What do men do when a numbers too low . Turn it up [ male announcer ] in a clinical study, over 80 of treated men had their t levels restored to normal. Talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. Get the blood tests. Change your number. Turn it up. Androgel 1. 62 . Republican saintor marco rubio not officially announcing the run for president wunot holding bab. Dow think you are ready to be president. I will be 43 this month. But ive served in Public Office for 14 years. Adding to the intrigue he made the comments in New Hampshire, john. Turning to the midterm elections this year. The gop has high hopes of retaking the senate and congress along with it. But Washington Post article said democrats shouldnt be written off so easily. What are the prospects here . Well talk about it with a b stoodard. And by ron york with the Washington Examiner and a fox news contributor. The piece suggested that democrats are hardly dead the yet when it comes to the chances of retaking the senate and they are proving a lot more resilient in these states where they have been you know, up to now written off. A b, what do you think about the math here . It is interesting in the recent polling to so the survey by nbc news that shoes democrats are doing well in kentucky, georgia and arkansas. The long time incumbent in arkansas and considered one of the funnerable incumbents and arkansas lost that 24 Percentage Points to mitt romney and hes facing challenger thomas cotton. And many polls show him up by comfortable doubledigit leads and higher Approval Rating than president obama and feels so good he appeared with him to tour the hurricane damage. There are surprising numbers for democrats and it doesnt mean they are not facing tremendous head winds. Byron, last time the republicans thought they had hopes of taking the senate they shot themselves in the foot with candidates that dont mesh up. The discussion seems to be that democrats that were on life support seem to be finding new life . Yeah, i think everybody groe agrees that recruiting is better for republicans this time around. There is no Christine Odonald ored to akin types. They have to win six senate seats. Republicans do. Republicans, do. They have to assume they will do so in montana and south dakota and west virginia. They are assuming. That last time they assumed to win in north dakota and didnt. And look at other states where they are vulnerable democrats and North Carolina and arkansas and louisiana and they have to win three out of the five and make sure they dont lose any be like in georgia. It is it a big hill for republicans to climb and maybe republicans have been too optimistic. Is this related to the president and his fortunes . How much do they tie to the coattails of the man in the white house . Oh, look. If you look at history and look at president obamas unpopular. And where they dont all politics remain local. And they have a long record. And that pleased a large base of supporters. And if you look at generic battles. They have been ahead on election day. It isnt look good if you look at historical friends of a presidency. It might be the laeg easy of the president will be written by obama care. Virginia is one of the states where we are seeing Insurance Companies come forward with the rates set for 20 15. One Company Eight and half percent increase. But when instation is lower. What do you say about those numbers. That is not a good thing. They are suffering from the higher rates and going to blame obama care. Some republicans are predicting that rates would double or triple. And still, it is not good news if the rates go up every year at a high rate. None company in virginia raising it by 15 percent. Thank you, both. And the new Health Care Law roll out. Carrying a massive price tag. Massachusetts and oregon and nevada spent 474 million on obama care websites that are plagued by glitches and in oregon failed to enroll a single person. It could go up higher as states rush to make fixes. And a senate bill could put the senate bill on ice. Why the project and jobs could be put on hold. And plus a son embarrassed and a mom outraged.

It is not threatening the delay until after the midterm election. Mike emmanuel has more. It is a fair fight in the senate these days. Republicans want to offer and vote on an amendment. The Bipartisan Energy efficiency bill offered by New Hampshire democrat is due to come up with a procedural vote. It is a more Energy Efficient economy. Republicans would like to vote on the amendment but harry reid said no. Just like he stopped us from voting on the key stone pipeline, democrat leader blocks senate vote on key stone in a time when he is have been debating energy, the Senate Majority leader refused to allow a vote this week. Not one. Reporter they reid wants the Energy Efficiency bill to be considered without amendments and he would allow a pipeline vote later. I want to be clear with my republican colleagues. A key stone vote is on the table if they stand by the agreement they had a week ago with me. Republicans say there was no agreement. And as majority leader he doesnt need their permission for key stone xl. They want the amendments now. It has been 20 years since the north ridge quake collapsed buildings and did damage to the los angeles area. There is concerns for the golden state. New developments in the Oscar Pistorias murder trial. The prosecutor wants the athlete to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Our legal team weighs in on the new twist in the case. You make reference to it. And it is anxiety. And this is not performing well. Okay, listen up im reworkin the menu. Mayo . Corn dogs . You are so outta here aah [ female announcer ] the complete balanced nutrition of greattasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and 9 grams of protein. [ bottle ] ensure®. Nutrition inharge™. Today ended with the prosecutor asking the judge to place pistorias under a psychiatric observation. A psychiatrist testifying for the defense said the athlete suffers from high anxiety. It is my opinion, my lady, that mrs. Pistorias has a anxiety disorder. And individuals with an anxiety disorder were taught to control the environment and be prepared in order to a leviate levels of anxiety. The criminal defense attorney and we have a former prosecutor. John, it is very interesting, the day after mothers day and lo and behold, what comes out with the psychiatrist is Oscar Pistorias mother and she drank too much and divorced from the dad and trying to get her son to be able to function with his disability and he got this intense anxiety, what is the defense trying to prove or create with this argument . Well, they are trying to show at the time he killed Reeva Steenkamp that his actions were visible. He was a double amputee that went through a different childhood. He was raised to think that something bad was going to happen to and thats where the reasonableness argument goes. To because he is a double amputee and raised through the lens of danger in his entire life his actions were reasonable. He may be guilty of cupable negligence or acquit him if they believe his actions were in fact reasonable. The prosecutor said okay, lets send him to a Mental Institution for a month and see how he does. What are the prosecutors attempting her. If a defense calls a psychiatrist as a witness, the prosecution gets to have a doctor from the government evaluate the defendant. That is more extended that in america where there is a evaluation over a month. Oscar pistoriass defense defies common sense. He said they were not fighting and yet a woman screamed before the shots were fired. Whether or not he has anxiety, that will not change the facts and make his defense more common sense. Even the psychiatrist said many people have general zoi zie disorder. She goes on to say that that doesnt imply everybody will take aggressive steps like shooting into a bathroom door. What do you think the psychiatrist will come back on the stand. Is it a winner the defense or created more holds in oscars story. I think they are key pieces of the puzzle. What was the trajectory and the angle that mr. Pistorias shot steenkamp. Standing on stumps or the floor. Was he scared and was his testimony credible. Allegations and suspicions are not enough to convict somebody. It has to be beyond a reasonable doubtine in south africa despite the allegations and suspicions, he will be found not guilty of murder but cupable homicide and acquittal. It doesnt matter you said if he is on the the legs and stumps. You believe the prosecution showed he wanted to murder reeva. There is no legal answer to fire in a bathroom door if you think your girlfriend is in bed. Four shots and starting with the hip and head. Neighbors heard her scream. His store tore doesnt make sense. The defense is looking to close their version. The first report seemed to fit what the prosecutor had to say. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Well, we have heard many Different Reasons for the nations obesitty problem. And sugar and not fat is the problem we are fat. How we get hooked. Heres the clip. There are 600,000 food items. 80 percent have added sugar. Your brain loves it. And you will be an addict. You end up with one of the greatest Public Health epidemics. Is sugar the tobacco of the 21st century . Dr. Earnest patty is from new york saint barna bus hospital. I am surprised with all of our medical knowledge we are arguing over what is making us fat. I have to say after reading the research. It is amazing the amount of food stuff that contain suga and salt. This is the most glaring sample here. This is a test town that contains the amount of sugar in a 12 ounce can of soft drink. You can imagine if you drank throw or four a day how much sugar you contain. A story that was a serole that was produced. One bowl of it a day for 365 days a year you would have consoumed 13 pounds of white cant sugar. And sugar is a natural product and the body uses the energy and breaks it down. It does in the natural form. Fruits and vegetables. It breaks it down slower. And the one that we add it creates morical rows. There is concern about high frukts on corn syrup, why . It is it a higher concentration fructs on. That shuts off a protein and enzyme called leptin that makes you feel full. When it is in your body, they therorrize it shuts down leptin and that provents you were feeling satiated. And you crave more sugar. It is cheaper to manufacture and produce and gets used more in the very sweet foods. And that improves the taste. Improves the taste and cheaper and easier to produce. And it is less expensive than cant sugar that used to be the sugar staple. 1third of the adults will be obese if we continue on the path we say . And that is what they say. If you are consuming items like. This for example, this amount of sugar extra in your diet, you know it adds to extra pounds. And so we have to be vigilant and increase our activity. And fresh fruits and fresh vegetables are more beneficial. And fruit sugars and eating high fruit doit . Yeah, if your diet consisted strictly of fruit, you would have a higher sugar concentration. But the problem is, we substitute. Let me have that frout juice than eating a apple or mango or orange. It is all about balance. That sclip that began the segment. 600,000 food items. And 80 percent have added sugar and they do that to make the food pal theatable. And we are regular animals. If we cut it out over time. Well get used to it. But there may be a learning period there.
