Now to the race for the white house and that clash between former president bill clinton and black lives matter protesters making headlines this morning as the candidates hit the trail and battle for new york. That big primary here just 11 days away and abcs tom llamas is tracking it all. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning to you. A lot to get to in the race for president. A competition to prove who is the biggest new yorker and as president in the middle of a powerful campaign moment. Now, wait a minute. I listen to you. You listen to me. [ cheers and applause ] reporter this morning, former president bill clvent showing hes still has plenty of fight taking on demonstrators at a Campaign Stop in philadelphia. Heres the thing, i like protesters, but the ones that wont let you answer are afraid of the truth. Reporter the black lives matter protesters objecting to the 1994 criminal Justice Reform bill which bill clinton signed into law as president. They argue the bill sent a disproportionate amount of africanamericans to prison. I dont know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13yearold kids hopped up on crack and sent them out onto the street to murder other africanamerican children. Maybe you thought they were good citizens. She didnt. You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter. Reporter and in new york, the race for president turning into a subway series. Oh, yes. Reporter Hillary Clinton opting for the 4 train where she struggled with her metro card swiping it five times before it worked. While senator Bernie Sanders strolled to a local diner. Both questioning one another about who is more qualified to hold office. You know, if you want to question my qualifications, let me suggest this, that maybe the American People might wonder about your qualifications, madam secretary, when you voted for the war in iraq the most disastrous Foreign Policy blunder in the modern history of america. Well, its kind of a silly thing to say but im going to trust the voters of new york who know me and have voted for me three time, twice for senate, once in the president ial primary. Reporter another new york native also firing back at clinton. For 20 years if she was ever in the subway and its so bad. The picture of her riding around for its called pandering. Its so bad. Reporter and across town near coney island senator ted cruz getting a warm reception after a rocky start in the big apple. Would you like to make i would love to. Reporter touring a brooklyn mat matzo factory. Not ready to break bread with cruz new yorks mayor during 9 11. Rudy rudy julgiuliani saying hes voting for trump and telling cruz, quote, its new york city. Were family. I can make fun of new york. But you cant. But cruz undeterred and not running away from the new york values label he put on trump. Because everyone in new york and outside of new york knows exactly what i meant by that and it is the liberal values of democratic politicians who have been hammering the people of new york for decades. Rudy giuliani is voting for trump but technically not endorsing him trump doing things rudy didnt like including his tweeting and telling melania and trump to lay off twitter a little bit. Matt dowd in austin and jon karl and let me begin with you. New york city so famous for these unpredictable campaigns and a lot of signs of it yesterday. Oh, absolutely. This is the point in the campaign, george, where patience has worn thing and temperments are frayed. Weve seen that on the clinton side and on the Bernie Sanders side. Today being International Buddhist day maybe everybody ought to just take a moment, do a little meditation, maybe take a nap and get back to what the campaign is supposed to be about. Usually give good advice. Im not sure anyone will take that advice. To jon karl, the republican speaker of the house paul ryan raising eyebrows some drafting him at a contested convention. He routed it out but raising video. What really bothers me the most of politics these days is this notion of identity politics. That were going to win an election by dividing people. Rather than inspiring people on our common humanity and our common ideals and culture on the things that should unify us. You hear those piano chords. Shower looks and sounds like a campaign ad. Different from what weve seen from ted cruz or donald trump but they put out an extraordinary statement about the speculation he would be running for president at the convention saying the speaker is grateful for the support but he is not interested. He will not accept a nomination and believes the nominee should be someone who ran this year. So now hes not only saying hes not interested but wouldnt accept a nomination if offered. That said, george, this is a National Campaign for speaker ryan. He does believe that the rhetoric that you see at the republicans running for congress and let me tell you, i spoke just yesterday to one of the most influential voices in the congress who told me he still holds out hope that a deadlock convention will turn to paul ryan as the president ial nominee thats a pretty shermanesque statement. Either donald trump or ted cruz absolutely. I think right now its one of the two of them unless we get to Something Like an eighth or ninth or tenth ballot then i think, george, everything is off even paul ryans statements are off and get that far down the thing anybody could get the gop nomination. Okay, matt dowd, jon karl, thanks very much. All right, george, now to the manhunt under way for one of the men that broke free from a Mental Hospital. His accomplice in custody but he is still at large and jim avila has the latest from lakewood, washington. Good morning, jim. Reporter a couple of fresh, strong leads overnight but police have so far come up empty they say is a dangerous criminal on the loose from this Mental Hospital. Reporter this morning, the manhunt intensifying for anthony garver, one of two violent patients who escaped from a Washington State Mental Hospital wednesday night thought to be moving east these are pictures of garver buying a bus ticket to spokane two hours after the escape. Encouraging the public 0 Pay Attention if they can i meanwhile youre driving around, if someone is out of place, well chase down every tip. Reporter he is believed to be dangerous seen here in this 2013 Surveillance Video at a mcdonalds with a woman hes accused of brutally murdering. He was arrested and sent to Western State hospital after being found incompetent to stand trial. Thats whats making us really nervous is that its a pretty serious crime, the worst you can imagine and hes got Mental Illness so we dont know what hes thinking. We have no idea he could be just trying to escape and go someplace but the opportunity to commit a crime is there if hes prevent. Reporter police say the 28yearold garver escaped from the hospital through a loose window sometime after 6 00 p. M. On wednesday. He escaped with 59yearold Mark Alexander adams. Adams taken into custody thursday in de mind, washington, this just hours after he was spotted boarding a local bus. Police say he took several modes of transportation throughout the night. Now authorities are pleading for the publics help in capturing his partner garver. I think we can all, you know, make that guess if they dont get their medication their condition will deteriorate and will create a different person. Reporter Police Across the state in spokane say he actually showed up at his parents house yesterday afternoon but when they called police, he ran. George. Okay, jim, thanks very much. New video now of that mystery man from last months attack in brussels that shows the route the man in white took as he fled the scene of the hope will track him down. Abcs Alex Marquardt has the latest. Reporter this morning Belgian Police are hoping this new video of the prime suspect, the socalled man in the hat, will offer them a new lead. He had been seen just before 8 00 a. M. With the two airport suicide bombers. Wheeling their explosives on carts, that ripped through the departures hall. Carnage and chaos as the third attacker wearing his tan coat fled, even breaking into a jog like those around him. For almost an hour there were no cameras that picked him up. The Authorities Say the man was walking through this town which is right next to the airport during that time, they say, as he walked towards brussels he got rid of his famoustan jacket. When hes seen next at 8 50 a. M. Hes in a light blue shirt, the sleeves rolled up appearing to be talking on the phone. Police believe he walked into brussels six miles from the airport. There seen again among the masses, 40 minutes after the elbow patches visible on his shirt, still wearing the hat. With no trace and no name, authorities now hoping the public will remember seeing him. There is more information about one of the other attackers, though, one of the suicide bombers here at the airport. The alleged bombmaker, he had worked for two months as a cleaner at the European Parliament in 2009 and 2010. At the time he had no criminal record. Amy. All right, Alex Marquardt, thank you for the latest. Now to the inflight fight all caught on camera. Three women suing Spirit Airlines saying the airline overserved rowdy passengers which then led to that dispute. Abcs david kerley has all the details. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, amy. If an airline is serving alcohol to passengers, is that airline responsible for those passengers behavior . The lawsuit this morning coming out of that jet brawl says yes. A half dozen women in a jetliner brawl gone viral. The fight as the spirit jet had been brewing for hours in the air. A lawsuit this morning says three intoxicated women blasted music from a Bluetooth Speaker and refused to turn it down despite the pleas of fellow passengers. Three of the passengers who complained and got into that fight are now suing Spirit Airlines for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Attorney Gloria Allred is representing the three women. Spirit airlines failed to take meaningful action to monitor and or to control these passengers. Reporter according to Court Documents obtained by abc news the women were seated behind three female passengers who, quote, thanks to Spirit Airlines airlines decision to allow them to consume excessive amounts of alcohol became highly intoxicated and emboldened to behave in a rowdy and rambunctious manner. An airline has a duty to train its personnel to monitor and control passengers who do reporter overnight Spirit Airlines telling abc news until we see the actual lawsuit and specific allegations, it would be inappropriate to comment at this time. All those women were escorted off the plane but the fbi says, george, nobody was arrested, nobody was charged in this case. Now the lawsuit. Thats a little strange. Okay, david, thanks very much. Plow to a wild car chase that played out on live tv in los angeles where two burglars tore through the streets and did some doughnuts on hollywood boulevard. Even took some selfies before they stopped and let the police catch up. Abcs matt gutman has the story. Reporter for nearly two hours, this duo dominated tinseltown screens. The pair in the blue convertible mustang top down despite the rain suspected burglars on what seemed an epic tour past los angeles icons. Turning doughnuts on hollywood boulevard. Fire of them. The passenger casually standing up in the car, even gesturing choppers. From doughnuts to a near tbone almost colliding with that tmz bus as it moves into its lane. Suddenly theyve got company but its not police, its instant fans following them waving at choppers. Its tires shredded it stops in south l. A. Even pulling over to let other motorists pass. The two suspects shake bystanders hands, on the phone. Hey, bro, thats whats up, baby. Reporter minutes go by. Still no officers. So bystanders begin snapping it was a terrible, horrible, no good reporter the l. A. Sheriffs officer saying they face many charges for endangering the public during that. Makes you think that maybe Something Else was going on. A slow cloud version of a highspeed chase. Very weird. We had a preview of the next piece coming up. Yeah, we did. A little sneak peek. Now here it is historymaking moment at the masters. Not the good one. Anyone who has picked up a golf club knows, you would agree, george, not easy for some of the best players in the world including this pro who had a less than perfect putt. Jesse palmer is with us with the story. Youre right. Weve all had bad days at the office but unfortunately for ernie els, once the number one golfer in the world, his was being broadcast on television. It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad play. Ernie els breaking an unwanted record six putting for a score of 9 the worst ever recorded at the first hole in masters history. I had three goes then it just went all over the place and, you know, the whole day. 24 inches from a par messing up putt after putt after putt. Not once, not twice, but six times. Blaming his case of the yips on nerves. Thats what happens when you have the heebiejeebies. I cant explain it. Ive played a lot of these things and i couldnt pull the putter back on the 1st. Reporter some say it might be the worst exhibition of putting since happy gilmore. He is remaining positive. Very difficult. Well see where we take it from here. Reporter els 9 not the highest score ever on a single hole. Thats a 13 which surprisingly has been done twice and, guys, obviously not surprising. Things not looking good for the hall of famer. After day one he sits near the bottom of the leaderboard. I guess they couldnt just give him the putt. I sixputt twice every round i play so i feel ernie els play. Just go in your hole. What, are you too good for your hole . I love that. Jess, thanks. Good impression. Its friday. More to come. All right, lets head over now to ginger with the storm hitting the southwest.

What can you tell us about this possible suspect in the video and why youre focusing on him . Well, we have some information that were pretty confident that the man you see in that video who appears to be in his early 20s, late teens is definitely somebody thats very much of interest to us and were very hopeful that the public, around ut saw him and will be able to come forward and give us information on him. Can you tell us why youre focusing on him and what kind of leads youve gotten so far. We are working some leads and when we looked at all the Video Evidence that the university of texas has a fairly large amount, number of cameras throughout the campus, based on this suspects location, based on the timing, based on a lot of the things that we see that wed rather not talk about because theres only one person, two people know exactly what happened to haruka, thats the suspect and haruka, were very confident with a high degree of probability or confidence saying this is the person that when we bring him in that it will be the person responsible for this act. Are there any indications that haruka knew this man . You know, that will be part of our investigation. We dont have anything on that yet. Unfortunately, you think about these young people that come to college. Theres a lot of questions that we need to answer but we owe it to the weiser family, the university of texas, the student population and the community of austin to bring closure to this case and bring that suspect to justice and justice for that family and thats what were later. You know, this took place on a pretty active part of the campus saw students all over the place. Should students on the campus of the university of texas be concerned about their safety . This is the first homicide since Charlotte Witman in 1966, ut tower infamy. The university of texas is a very safe campus. The city of austin is one of the safest in the nation. We have one of the lowest Violent Crime rates in this nation but having said that, its still a big city. Situational awareness is really important at night. Its important in any big city and any town for people to be really aware of those surroundings and just be careful because there are bad people that want to do bad things to us and theyre lurking out there especially at nighttime. Chief, thank you for joining us this morning. Have a great weekend. Boy, she seemed like such a special young woman. I hope they get answers soon.

No kidding. Thats what i was going to say. Different from the other shows that tried to follow. What do is it just that there are so many seasons that they just have a better eye than the other show . What sets it apart. Theyve had a longer run at it but i think in those early seasons that original judging panel having having the expertise of simon cowell because the thing about simon was he was mean, but more often than not he was right. So, that sort of impeccable taste clearly creates stars. Lets go out to our stars right now, fantasia, take us back to your first moment, that first moment of your first audition.

We first learned about his work in the new york post. Now he is sharing his secrets with us. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. So work 12hour days and eat bread and pasta all day long. And sometimes cake. Okay, so lets see how many pounds youve dropped just in the last month. 15 pounds. All of this are like, huh . How does it work. At the Brooklyn Bread Lab which is from the Williamsburg Hotel. We started out with the Williamsburg Hotel and ended up with this bread lab as we delayed collection and milled our own wheat which was the whole idea and we have flour that we make ourselves which is really the key to the whole thing. Thats what makes it so special. Its the only place in new york that you can get Something Like this. And thats what we kind of like rest our laurels on. You teach classes so people can do this at home as well, correct . Exactly. We teach kid, professionals. Pizza, pasta, pastry, the whole thing. For all of us who love bread and thought we couldnt eat it yes, we have our helpers here. Well learn some of your tricks. I saw you brought food. We have a couple of things that we got to go by. First, when you guys are going to make some bread get a digital scale and throw the cups out the window. Like ten bucks. Thats precise. Precise and eliminates everything when you go it sounds very kneady. Shes on fire. Badumdum. So this is kind of like a sourdough. If you were to feel it, the thing is, though, we suggest yeast, start with yeast. Its kind of like a training wheel as you get into sourdough and then the other little example is this scraper. Its just going to make the whole process really easy and show you how to just move this thing around. Water here and you have to get your hands in the water and rub it all over. This will keep your hands see how her hands are sticky and got crazy and started pushing it around. Act like youve been phillip mena before. What youll do is stretch this out a little bit. Okay. Is this dough that were this is healthy. This is healthy. This has all the beauty and wheat inside. We know wheat is good for you. Once you fold it in half and kind of mull it, youll stretch it out. Why is yours youre good. Now just turn lara is adding water to hers. 90 degrees. You got it. Now you turn. Wow. Yeah. A little bit might stick. Thats where you use your oh. Baking bread, america. All right. Whoo. One little touch of water and in the basket is where itll rise and let it rise up again. Youll see it like double and put it in the oven. I usually cook it 575 degrees. As hot as your oven can go, Something Like that. Lara has made porridge. No, its good. Mine is good. Dont look at it. As high as your oven can go for an hour and every how much bread can you eat in i eat a whole loaf a day. You eat a whole loaf of bread a day. Stop. About. Just about what we can do with this flour and making it ourselves. I see you have a lot of veggies. Pizza that we make pizza if you want to check it out. You got us to the dough portion. Is it hard to make that dough. Not really. Just flour, water yeast. Yeast the key ingredient and you want the wheat. The fresh wheat. This is what it ends up here. A whole bunch of chickerry, parsley, provolone, this is what the dough looks like in the beginning. Were just going to stretch it out a little bit and kind of see how this works. This kind of comes over same dough and like the key i think is just all the veggies. It makes it healthy and eat bread and lose weight, george. Who knew . Its kind of cool and do pastas here and you can see some of our whole wheat fettuccine made with pesto, basil, pine nut. George. We went off the pasta but a late stars powerful legacy, spartacus actor Andy Whitfields life is being celebrated in a new documentary. A candid look at his fight for survivoral on and off screen.
