Reporter cruz hoping for an upset win in the Hoosier State but some ominous signs before election day. His late night rally filling only half the room and earlier some ugly exchanges. Senator cruz, may i please shake your hand . Too slow, joe. You look like a fish monster. Cruz nearly drowned out by protesters and hecklers at a stop in bloomington.

He didnt even look like that was a weird deal. Man. Reporter but cruz trying to offer a serious alternative to the new york billionaire. Contrary to the media narrative, bullies arent strong. Bullies are weak. Bullies are cowards. Bullies are scared. Reporter now, right now theres no indication if senator ted cruz loses indiana hes going to drop out of the race but its going to be very, very hard to make the case to donors and delegates that he has a path to victory. Robin. Now to the democrats. Hillary clinton trying to score a big win over Bernie Sanders in indiana. As she faces tough criticism from coal miners in west virginia, Abcs Cecilia Vega is here with the latest on all that. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. An uncomfortable moment for Hillary Clinton overnight when she came facetoface with one coal miner who put her on the spot but today in indiana, that vote is up for grabs. Bernie sanders is hoping for a win to keep him in this race. In the final hours before indianas crucial vote, Bernie Sanders was actually in the Hoosier State making his case from ft. Wayne. Thank you, all. Reporter to evansville. Thank you, evansville. Reporter sanders needs to win 92 of all remaining delegates to win the nomination. His supporters still enthusiastic. I think that choice is to tell the billionaire class [ bleep ] and the corporations well, that is one way to phrase it. Reporter Hillary Clinton feeling so confident about clinching the nomination she moved on to the south. Go home, hillary. Reporter protesters greeting her outside a stop in west virginia. Inside clinton coming under fire for comments she made about clean energy. Were going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business. Reporter out of work coal miner putting her on the spot for something she now says is a misunderstanding. I just want to know how you can say youre going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell us how youre going to be our friend. I know that and, you know, im i dont know how to explain it other than what i said was totally out of context from what i meant because i have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time. Reporter with all those cameras there that made for a tough moment. Clinton made a promise to bring back manufacturing jobs and she said she wants her husband to come out of retirement to help her come up with a plan for those jobs if she maybes it to the white house. Jobs shes giving them and jon karl joins us, cecilia, you mentioned that the clinton team confident about the nomination but they dont really know whats going to happen in indiana. No, they dont, only a fourpoint spread. They are downplaying expectations, they say of thiss not been there very much. They stopped spending ad money in indiana and Bernie Sanders, this is a must win for him but even if he does win he may have the momentum to tell his supporters were going to carry this all the way through the convention but we know the math is a very different story. The math for donald trump, hes basically about a win today. He is right. Donald trump wins big in indiana, he will have almost twice as many delegates as ted cruz and all the momentum will be seven contests in a row with no real signs of light for ted cruz at the end of the tunnel. I think he will stay in. Hes got the money to compete. Theres going to be a Financial Report from the Cruz Campaign that says they have 9 million cash on hand but really its just about waiting for donald trump to implode. Waiting to see if something happens. Meantime, trump is setting his sights on Hillary Clinton. He absolutely is and Hillary Clinton, believe me, the Clinton Campaign is gearing up for a fight against donald trump and its going to be a very unpredictable fight. General election could begin tomorrow. It very well could and ill say they seem giddy about getting ready to prepare to run against donald trump. Theyre making money off his woman card comments he made against her like a couple million bucks so far. Theyre hiring staffers in battleground states. Its going to be theyre ready and i think theyre getting more excited. In ohio today. Cecilia and jon, thanks very much. Now to Severe Weather in the capital. Washington, d. C. Hit with rain and hail overnight and now severe storms are heading east. Rob marciano is here with all those details. Good morning, rob. Those storms last night spreading out now, look at the radar. Weve got really a wet messy commute up and down the i95 and i85 corridors and look at this. Over 100 yesterday in the midatlantic. A lot of bigtime hail. Baseballsize hail in maryland and around the d. C. Area supercell thunderstorms. Overnight the washington, d. C. Area taking a battering of blinding rain and hail. Our Nations Capital getting struck, bolt after bolt. Came outside and, bam, no more car. Reporter wins taking down trees dropping them onto cars. In North Carolina hail pelting drivers. You can see the falling ice striking trees. In raleigh, a tree smashing through the roof of this home, nearly hitting an 87yearold woman inside. My mother was sitting right there. Theres two chairs right there. Reporter and were not clearing out today. Another threat for severe thunderstorms across the carolinas. Many areas same spots that got hit yesterday, strong wind, large hail and heavy rain and this pattern stuck with us through the rest of the week. Oh, boy, a lot of rain in the east, thanks very much.

Well, there is new hope in the search for life beyond earth. Scientists have found three earthsized planets orbiting a dwarf star seen in this artists rendering there in the socalled habitable zone meaning their temperatures may support life. Well, back here on earth, a wild brawl inside turkeys parliament. Lawmakers throwing punches and water bottles, ouch, at each other. They have been discussing changes to the constitution that would take away their immunity from prosecution. I find that kind of ironic. Yeah. Some controversy in the nba playoff, the thunder taking on the spurs by one estimate there were six fouls committed here. At least. During the games final sequence, at least robin says but the refs called none of them not even an elbow from dion waiters. The refs later admitted missing the call but the final score, the thunder won 9897. Whoo. Robin is like this. I mean leaning back with her airports crossed. Finally, how long can you hold your breath . This diver from new zealand set a world record diving 407 feet on a single breath. When he reached the bottom it was completely dark. Too deep for light to reach. He held his breath for 4 34 and guess whos world record he beat . Whose . His own. This is what robin was doing the whole time. You know what, we may have you think .

That doesnt mean i dont have plenty to show you from the Biggest Party of the year. Recognize this pop princess in prada. None other than katy perry. Every star from sports to music here to celebrate fashions biggest night. The guests all invited bianna wintour tickets going for 30,000 apiece. From lady gaga to kate hudson in charge of plexiglas. Even the men got into the theme. Check out zayn malik in armored sleeves. The most googled gown of the night none other than queen bey herself showed up sans jay see but in this latex number she was abuzzing when she posed with rita ora calling it family. Uma thurman and Sarah Jessica parker and carly klaas transformed her column gown no a mini dress after spinning wine on the train. This is a bad idea or maybe its brilliant. I dont know. You have to be invited. Invitation only but still have to make that 30,000 donation that goes to the met. You can buy a table for 237,000 grand but you still have to be approved for your guest list.
