On the Republican Debate stage tonight in houston, mitt romney no, no, not in person, of course. But through this issue of tax returns that he lobbed at donald trump yesterday.

Clinton is making four stops in the state where democrats vote on saturday. Nancy cordes is in columbia, South Carolina, where clinton is also thinking about the gop frontrunner. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Thats right. Republicans are not the only ones who are starting to come to grips with the notion that trump could be the gop nominee. Yesterday, the Clinton Campaign sent out this fundraising appeal saying, everything is coming up trump. A message meant to scare their supporters into opening their when with you talk about the trumps of the world to divide us up. Reporter trump that united the democratic candidates, at least temporarily. I listen to the rhetoric on the republican side. I dont recognize my country. You know . Senator sanders and i have been trying to run a Campaign Based on issues. They run a Campaign Based on insults. Reporter clinton is camped out in South Carolina, protecting her large lead in the polls here. Hi. Reporter sanders headed west in search of Greener Pastures and he found them. Here in missouri reporter 7,000 people came to here him speak in kansas city. Almost 10,000 in tulsa. I look out add this crowd, i dont think there is any way we are going to lose on tuesday reporter the only other candidate drawing crowds this large is trump. But, so far, the enthusiasm has not translated into turnout, which is down on the democratic side since 2008 in the three contests held so far. Sanders, who says this all the time. Voter turnout is everything. Our job is to create a high voter turnout. If there is a large turnout, i think we will do very well. Reporter translation . Sanders needs his young supporters to hit the polls in record numbers and offset clintons advantage with older and more reliable advantage. In nevada she won by a full 50 points and won the caucus. You say you want to create the revolution that clinton couldnt. Is turnout a sign that that revolution isnt happening . Its a sign that barack obama ran a Brilliant Campaign in 2008. Unprecedented.

President obama may reach senate to vote on his next Supreme Court nominee. Reports say the white house is considering nevadas republican governor to replace justice Antonin Scalia. Jan crawford is on capitol hill and watching the Supreme Court debate. Reporter good morning. Senator republicans say they will block anyone the president nominates even if its someone from their own party. Yesterday, the president predicted they will cave. I recognize the politics are hard for them. Reporter from the oval office, president obama suggested that eventually republicans will back down and give his Supreme Court nominee a shot. There is not a lot of vigor when they defend the position that they are taking that they wouldnt even meet, for example, with a Supreme Court nominee. They are pretty sheepish about it when they make those comments. Reporter across town, the senates top democrat, harry reid, offered a surprise pick, a rpublican. Nevada governor brian sandoval. If he were picked, i would support the man. He has a great record. And he has been a tremendously good governor. Reporter sandoval may be seen as a moderate conservative but he is no fan of the president s signature achievement the Affordable Care act. He has called many aspects of the law unconstitutional and threatened to fight to have them overturned. In a statement, sandovals office said neither the governor nor his staff has been contacted by or talked to the Obama Administration regarding any potential vetting and that did not surprise utah senator mike lee. I dont think that is a legitimate rumor. I dont think it reflects any truth. I dont think that is who president obama is going to nominate. But even if it is, our position remains unchanged. Reporter lee says regardless of the nominee, most Senate Republicans are holding firm until the country elects a new president. Its not up to the president. We are a coordinate branch. Government. This is our discussion, not his. The sandoval buzz is read and they are playing games. A republican to the Supreme Court would make a conservative majority on that court for a generation. Charlie . Thanks, jan. Apple ceo tim cook defended the company in his first interview about the standoff over the San Bernardino gunmans iphone. He calls the governments request to unlock it bad for america. Jeff pegues is in washington to show us apples case. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Apple executives and the tech giants attorneys say this is a slippery slope. Tomorrow the company will put its arguments in writing when its expected to file its legal challenge to the government. Some things are hard and some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things. Reporter speaking publicly about the controversy, apples ceo tim cook laid out his reasons for refusing a court syed farook, one of the terrorists behind the deadly attack in San Bernardino, three months ago. To oppose your government on something doesnt feel good. And to oppose it on something where we are advocating for civil liberties, which they are supposed to protect, it is incredibly ironic. Reporter cook says the decision would compel the company to write new software and create ago key that he says, in the wrong hands, could make all iphones vulnerable to hackers. Our smartphones are loaded with our intimate conversations, our financial data, our health records. They are also loaded with the location of our kids in many cases. Reporter cook says apple has cooperated with Law Enforcement, but contends investigators made a crucial error by telling farooks employer, San Bernardino county, to reset his icloud password. Apple says that limited the information that could be retrieved but even with the there may still be information on the phone that would not be accessible without apples assistance. If a court can ask us to write this piece of software think of what else they ask us to write. Maybe an operating system for surveillance, maybe its the ability for the Law Enforcement to turn on the camera. This is not what should be happening in america. I think this is going to be a question for the American People and their congress to decide if we want to make these Communications Devices immune to warrants when we know that they are used in crimes all the time. Reporter cook and bill gates agree that this issue will ultimately have to be decided by congress. Eventually, as it has been with the patriotic act, this will all be subject to democratic discussion. Reporter today, fbi director james comey will be on capitol hill where he is expected to discuss the governments case against apple. Norah . Jeff, thank you.

Now they are pounding them with machine guns and from the air. Overhead, the sound of the helicopters scouting its target. Then a strike. They are using barrel bombs, cheap and deadly. Are there any civilians left over there . No, he says. There arent. In fact, by now, almost everyone has fled. Bombs smashed this area to bits.

And in some places, out in the open. But professors at the university of houston are targeting guns on will be allowed later this year. Its an uncomfortable position to be in but its a discussion that faculty need to have. Reporter during a recent university of houston faculty meeting, staffed discussed how to teach when some students could be carrying concealed weapons. Among the suggestions . Be careful discussing sensitive topics and remove certain topics from the crippleurriculum and not go there if you sense anger. This is the law. It will happen. So what can you do . There is not very much and this is precisely what we are talking to faculty about and what they should not do in the classroom is express their displeasure of students bringing guns to class. Reporter some faculty and students say they must establish sensible guidelines while complying with the new law. We know there are concerns about safety on campus and we will do everything we can do to community. We are students. We are not criminals.

Dont tough it out, knock it out, fast. An extraordinary legal battle in britain is getting worldwide attention. A woman wants to carry the eggs of her daughter who died of cancer and she hopes to give birth to a grandchild. The court is allowing her to ban the appeal. They believe the daughter, quote, expressed a strong wish to her mother that one or more fertilized should be plant in her mother who would give birth to the baby. In a statement to cbs this morning, the 60yearold mom says we know the chances of conceiving a grandchild are very small, but in the unlikely event we are successful, it would mean the birth of a child who would be loved and cherished by us and the rest of our family. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is here to talk about this. First of its kind. First of its kind. She was their only daughter so they are saying this is the only way they could have a which would. Yes. But it really should not be about their desire to have a grandchild. It should only be about their now decease daughters wishes. What did she say about that . It depends on who you believe. Because she could have said in we call a special direction in britain, there is a form where if you want your eggs to survive after your death, that part she special direction, which then would have said i want my mother to be able to carry my eggs and have my child because my parents were such great parents. She never signed that. Now, originally, what happens is youre in a clinic. The clinic hat eggss the eggs and the clinic is put in a situation we cant export these eggs to the u. S. Without a real directive. The reason they have to export them, there is no clinic in the uk who is going to do this in vitro fertilization, but the punitive grandmother said she did find a clinic in new york that will take these eggs. Is the grandmother going to carry it . The grandmother wants to now, she says that is her daughters dying wish. They have said we are going to let you appeal which is a reversal of another judges decision saying, no, you cant. And the reason they say that is the mother says, which is really the punitive grandmother, if we can get this right. I understand the legal argument but her daughter died. You know . It feels creepy and touching at the same time. Is that possible . Exactly right. I think both of those words are really well taken. In britain they have said this is unseenly and we should not have a 60yearold mother giving birth from her own body of her own daughters eggs. Then you get back to the issue why its touching or disturbing is whose life is it any way . If the daughter really had this desire that her own mother would be the best parents for her own child, then there is something to be said for her decision about what to do with this. She knows her mom. Well, she knows her upbringing. Suppose they rule in the couples favor and it goes sets . I think its an interesting precedent in britain, because we have never had a grandmother carry a daughters eggs. Whether or not it would be a precedent in the u. S. Remains undecided because here we look, contract informed consent and written agreement always controls. Thank you. Really interesting. Rikki klieman, thank you.

And thank you all for having me. We are glad youre here. How do you feel today . Will you go to rio . Well, you know, i feel very fortunate that i dont have to make the decision today. Happen in five months. Im a little bit skeptical, to be honest. News came out today that things probably could get worse before they get better. So its scary. And i have a lot of reservations going to the olympics. But, like i said, i dont have to make the decision right now. There is a lot of unknowns and i hope that we get some clear, concrete answers very soon. What specifically concerns you about the zika virus . I just think there is a lot in life to worry about as it stands, that, you know, at some point, i do want to start a family. And i dont want to be worried. I dont want the anxieties. I dont want the constant tests. I dont want to risk the safety of a child, the health of a child. Its just a scary time, and there is really no clear answers to it. So until i know more, i dont really feel like i can make a really informative decision. If things are like they are, you probably wouldnt go sfl. Right now, i probably would not go. To your teammates feel the same . I think everybody is just trying to get a lot of information right now, so i dont think anybody is making any irrational decisions. But you have to understand that my team is filled with different age ranges and different personalities and some people dont want to have families, some people do. I think for the most part, we are all based on winning the olympics. Its never been done before after winning a world cup. First and foremost, we want to be backtoback champions. Its never been done before i want to be a part of that i always wanted to ask you this. Youve been called the best goalkeeper in the history of the Womens National team. In the green room, they were saying in the world. In the world do you agree with that . In the world own it, hope, own it i feel fortunate. If that is true, what makes you so good as a goalkeeper . What makes a great goalkeeper . Oh, gosh. And day out. Goal keeping is a very difficult decision. Youre kind of a hero or the goat. Five setups in olympic qualifications but qualifications to me are not that busy. We are playing some poorer countries and some country who dont really build the womens game, who feel honored to be on the field with us because they know that in their country, women dont really play sports. So we are beating these teams who they dont really have a lot of resources in their countries. So i honestly didnt get much action so i got these five shutouts but i didnt feel like i earned all of them. They are also saying people in your position in their 30s peak. Youre going to be 35. Do you even feel like youre even close to peaking . Well, where i was going with that is goal keeping is something that you can never really master. There are so many details and intricacies and mental game more than anything else. I stay focused. About it. It is. And why i never want to walk away because there is always something new to learn and always a challenge. Anybody who knows me, know i love challenges. As a little girl, did you think you would be doing this . Maybe not world champ but did you think you would be doing this . Yeah. I was 12 years old and i read a paper that said when i want to grow up, i want to be a professional soccer player. They didnt have that there. How could you dream something that was not there . It was in the 90s, not the 80s. I wrote it and there was no womens professional soccer. I had this gigantic dream that wasnt in the realm of possibilities at the time and, by god, it happens. You know, we have a long way to go to push for womens sports and womens equalities but i dreamt something at the age of 12 that didnt even exist and i was able to go on and become a professional soccer player. I want to ask you about that very point, because after the world cup win, it was reported your team would earn just 2 while the winning german mens team won two times more than that in 2014. What do you think it will get to get equal pay in sports . Its going to be a long road. Im very proud of we had a great summer, you know . We crushed the ratings. We had an incredible following worldwide. But it wasnt enough to make people say things need to change. For fifa to change. It opened peoples eyes up, but we, as a team, have to step every step along the way. Whether its cba negotiations and standing as a team and thats really hard to do as women because we tend to get bullied and crack under the pressure. So im proud of my team. Im proud of all of us coming together and saying you know what . This is a time we need to push for equality and push for what is right and people are paying attention. After soccer, what might you do . Oh, goodness. I dont know. You know . I want to start a family. But in terms of work, i dont know. I put my life and passion into goal keeping and this team. Ive been on this team for 16 years. We would like to see you one more time out there. Its scary. Life after soccer is scary and i think any athlete who tells you anything else, i dont think they are speaking the truth. I will admittedly express my fears. Great to have you. We will be watching. We will be watching and hope you guys make it to the olympics. Thank you. Zika does not scare away our womens team. We want you there. Hope solo, thank you very much.

You just hear from people who come visit and check out the town, they go, lincoln is cool. Like, this is really cool. And they are like, it is, right . Reporter there are challenges. Companies have struggled to attract outside talent and investors. 75 have investments last year went to three states california, new york, and massachusetts. But that is changing. I dont think that reflects the distribution of great entrepreneurs with great ideas. Reporter steve case, a cofounder of aol, heads up revolution, a Venture Capital firm. It plans to invest close to 1 billion in Tech Companies inside the coasts. Some people call it the we think they are great entrepreneurs building great businesses. Reporter huddle started with three employees. It now has 400. On Silicon Prairie, you have the microsoft in lincoln. Its been an amazing ride and we are incredibly lucky and with a great team around us and i think the most fun part of it is.
