Crude, scott, hit a 12year low today. 33 a barrel. The price has fallen by nearly half just since may, when it was 60.

The law is quite clear that the child of a u. S. Citizen born abroad is a naturalborn citizen. Reporter you perceive this as an attack. Donald trump says hes trying to help you. The funny thing about politics, its fairly unusual for your opponents, who are running for the same position, to be actually trying to help you. I will hear their prayer and forgive their sins, and i will heal their land. Reporter cruz has climbed to the top of the iowa polls by reaching out to evangelicals and social conservatives. In 2012, 57 of republican caucusgoers describe themselves as evangelicals. 47 said they were very conservative. Not rely just on iowa or new hampshire, whose more moderate elecrate has not been as welclcing. There are a lot of candidates in this race who have to win iowa. There are a lot of other candidates who have to win new from our perspective, we dont view any one state as a must win. Were going to compete hard and try to win everywhere. Reporter cbuz has taken a harder line on immigration than trump, opposing trtrps willingness to allow deported immigrants to return to the u. S.

I was really concerned because there was a school, you know, just near the e lice station. Reporter the attacker was later identified as a local petty thief known to police but with no known connection to any terrorort group. He apparently acted alone. Paris was already on edge before the incident. It took place as president Francois Hollande led a ceremony commemorating the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre a year ago. And the memories of the second wave of attacks less than two months ago are still vivid. President hollande said france was now living under a constant threat and Charlie Hebdos typically defiant anniversary cover suggggted why. A godlike image carries an Assault Rifle murder in the name of religion. The killer, it said, is still on as terror attackckgo, scott, this one, an apparent loner with a knife and fake bomb, is less deadly than the others which have taken place here, but it still sends a ssage the enemy is a ang us.

Reporter we also asked about foods with unexpectedly high sodium. The same type of flavor dressing, which is itataan, in one botttt can be 450 milligrara of sodium versus 300 milligrams. Reporter thats a huge difference. Yeah. Reporter cott, its so easy you might thinthis spinach wrap is s tter than this piece of white bread, but the bread has 90 calories and no saturated fat, and the wrap, 210 calories and two grams of saturated fat, so you have to read the bel.
