War of words with donald trump. Pope francis criticized in public. He just said he did not mention him by name. Talking about the candidate that wanted to build a wall on the Mexican Border. Greg a lot of people are on his side. I do not want to be on either side. The woman that killed Elliott Spitzer of choking her. There are deleted Text Messages, reportedly. They reveal that she may have tried to get thousands of dollars from the former governor. Police were able to get the deleted Text Messages from her phone. How did that happen . I thought that there was that whole thing with apple. Permission to do it. Rosanna it is technically above us. Greg give us your password. Rosanna just take a moment and enjoy this. Can we get a little closer . You look very gq this morning. Greg you do not think that it is too much . Greg okay. Mike he does look good. Rosanna i am here to go like this. That is my role today. Greg you can just call me prince. Greg i like that. Even this is called. Low temperatures dropping down. We are getting shortchanged again. 7 degrees only right now in monticello. A mainly clear sky there. 12 degrees in sussex. Bridgeport, 22 degrees. Twentyseven in montauk. Some wind out there, too. That is not a huge deal. We do have a mainly clear sky everywhere here in the tristate. Some clouds and snow showers, their western pennsylvania. It is a warm front coming in to us. That warm front just does not have a whole lot to it. You are looking out more clouds in the picture. Temperatures will get up to 42 i think showers, if they do pop up would be to the northwest. Tomorrow we will see the sunshine making a comeback. Fiftytwo is your high on sunday. Lets get over to ines rosales. She will give you an idea of what it is like. It is not too bad. We have had a couple of problems. You have an accident closing at least one lane. Things are fine on Staten Island. On the belt parkway, there is a car fire. You have at least one lane closed. Things are looking a little bit better. Temporary or closed. A beautiful shot. Heading into the upper, lower level. Greg and rosanna. Okay. A stabbing. Slashings. Two more cases happened in the middle of the day yesterday. A 21yearold man was lashed in a Clothing Store in soho. Do we have just copycat people . What is going on in the city. Where exactly . We are at 88 fans this. We have some very clear Surveillance Video to show you given to us by the nypd. It has happened again. For the third time in 24 hours. A new yorker has been knifed. Walking on 88th. He made off with a candle in headphones. Waiting in line at supreme. A very popular skateboard shop on lafayette street. Claiming the victim had jumped the line. Keeping a panhandler from bothering customers. Stitches. It is going to be okay. According to police, here is this suspects position. A small gym bag and a purple folder. Looks like a scam to get money out of people. Look at these videos released by the nypd. You will be able to help them track the man that carried out the crime. If any of these attackers look familiar to you, please reach out to the nypd. Upper west side. I will send things back to both of you. Are right. Thank you very much. Battling the other president ial candidates. Taking on a higher power. It is in a way, not unprecedented. This all started in response to a question from a reuters reporter. Each man makes enough headlines on his own. A holy war of words. This is the like of which we have not seen. Donald trump has shown no function criticizing president s both current and past. The World Trade Center came down during the, you know, wave of george bush. It all started when pope francis criticized trump with his plan to build a wall along the Mexican Border. A person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not building bridges is not christian. Trump fired right back. Questioning a persons faith is disgraceful. I will not allow christianity to be attacked unlike what is happening now with our current resident did. And there was this. If and when the vatican is attacked by isis, i can promise you that the pope would have only wished and prayed that donald trump would have been president. Tone. I think that he said was reported by the media. He did not see the strain that the border is causing us with asked if he would tell catholics in this country not to vote for child. I would not get mixed up with that. We act into this holy rift. I disagree with a lot of things. We need bridges. I think that that is a relationship that we have with our lord and savior themselves. A bit of support from those that are normally critical phone donald trump. He said that between the pope and donald. Will cost him any votes. They have been at oughts, potentially, with the catholic church. She had a little head to head with oconnor. Greg she was definitely prochoice. Rosanna she was prochoice. Cardinal oconnor came out and said i do not see how a catholic in good conscience can vote for an individual expressing themselves as favoring abortion. May have won the battle, but lost the war. Greg the late great. Rosanna bringing up something earlier. He would not allow his religious views to change away he governed. You have to take a man from the pope. Go to our fox5 Facebook Page. We will read some of your comments later. Greg scalia, the funeral will be tomorrow. President obama is expected to his body, as you said will lie at the Supreme Court all day. The president is not planning on attending the funeral on saturday. The white house says, Vice President joe biden will attend the funeral. President ial candidate and senator ted cruz plans to attend the funeral. I guess if that is the term over there. The latest on eliot spitzer. Was he being extorted by that woman who he have a moment with at the plaza hotel. A former prostitute. Trying to extort money from spitzer. Police found deleted Text Messages on her phone demanding cash from the former governor. She reportedly made him a she returned to moscow. Eliot spitzer tried to choke her.

Greg and rosanna. One of the most famous bridges in the city in the world. Brooklyn bridge, there it is department of transportation, one in washington, d. C. , national one, they say that bridge in in sad shape dangerous but could be soon. Our officials saying it is safe to driver over but structural flaws must be repaired in the near future. How near . I dont know liz dahlem is joining us along side the bridge in Lower Manhattan. Liz, what are you hearing . Good morning greg and rosanna so Brooklyn Bridge build in 1983 and 144,000 vehicles cross this bridge every day. So as we know it gets a lot of use and federal officials claim it is structurally deficient so what does that mean . Bridge elements such as the dax sub structure or superstructure is considered to be in poor condition. The bridges are safer drivers now, according to the american road and Transportation Builders Association thats a group that released this report but flawing have to be addressed and have to be repaired and a number of key bridges from our area on this list. The verrazano bridge, throgs neck bridge and kosciuszko bridge. According to to this report there are over 17,000 bridges in new york state, nearly every single one of them needs some type of repairs. More than 14,000 needs to be widened and potentially rehabbed. More than 1,000 need to be entirely replaced so the macialt of bridges in our state need some type of repair according to to this report. And thats kind of alarming, of course, this cost millions and millions of dollars rehabbing these bridges but something to people across the the city and the state. Live in e Lower Manhattan this morning. Greg and rosanna back over to you. Those bridges go over water that is packed with pieces of plastic a new study rosanna says 165 million bits of plastic are floating in our waters from the Tappan Zee Bridge all the way down through the verrazano to sandying hook to jersey. That includes everything from candy wrappers to straws those tiny beads in soap products. Those microbeads made up tens of millions of particles. Theyre especially dangerous because fish are eating them, and we eat fish. About to say then that introduces that into the food chain. Hopefully we dont eat the fish from the east river.

Yesterday mets pipper and catchers took their physicals. Many of the guys on the field yesterday. But really yesterday was about the manager Terry Collins. Held a press conference yesterday and open and honest press conference. He talked about the disappointment of losing world series, how long it took to get over that but talked about big happenings here. You know, what he thinks this team is capable of and that, of course, is getting back to where they were possibly winning it all. Didnt get over it any for any stretch of the imagination. The club and how were going to get better and to the next level. And you know once i kind of got myself settled, i had a great winter. The other big topic down here for Noah Syndergaard threw a bullpen and Terry Collins raving about him. He said in all of his years in baseball over 40 years hes never seen a guy mature much in a single year. I asked him about a great young pitching staff. They like the great braves fitching staff of the 90s. Those guys competed with each other on and off the field and going on here with the mets we have a competitive nature and always thinking were a team and one goal in mind. Pushing each other to get better and always watching each others bullpen, before the game an i think thats pretty cool. Does it help that youre all power pitchers . We have the same game.

Crowds were long because they were launching their spring collection. According to eyewitnesses, the suspect slashed the victim after the victim allegedly cut him in line. And then we have the didnt that occurred wednesday evening at the silver spur diner in gren itch village. Police have given us the Surveillance Footage first is the man they believe to be the slasher. Slashed a hardworking busboy trying to get him away from customers that he was bothering. They gave us a couple of other pictures of three other teens they say are accomplices. Two females, one male, theyre hoping that by identifying this click, that they can eventually be led to the person who actually committed the crime so greg and rosanna a lot of different incidents happen hadding. Eyre conceed about this. Happened in underground and different neighborhoods hope it is they can catch them before this fern strikes again. Latest from Upper West Side this morning. Back to you. Not every day but a medical doctor cancer surgeon arrested by cops in some sort of altercation over a traffic ticket. Police say that she actually used her car to ram a cop. This is dr. Rachel double parked at 55th street and 8th avenue. Officers tried to give her a ticket and she hits an officer in the leg. Another unit stopped her and charmingeddededded with resists arrest and leaving the scene of an accident. She drove off because officers beat her up. So, obviously, the investigation is continuing. Well keep an eye on this. Okay Mike Bloomberg our former mayor possibly a president ial candidate. There he is back his mayoral days he was at an event on the rosanna hes talking about running for president. We have u new information here. He didnt mention any intention to run he did outline reasons why hes fed up which could be reasons why he would seek the white house. Leaning that way. Lets see New York Times reports this has been a race to the extremes will bloomberg said. Lets see, had said that the current candidates sense that america has lost faith with its institutions. He explained that current candidates says that with institutions, but instead of trying to fix it, candidates are trying to exploit it mayor said. Any way were hearing hes doing a lot of polls and hes going to mac a decision probably by march. Im hearing that it really depends on hillary if she opportunity get nodges thats what he might jumple in the race thats what im hearing. That kind of makes sense. List of swirlens is long but solutions in short supply. Hes itching to do it. The race battling other president ial candidates but u now taking on the pontiff. Suggested to build a wall at the mexican boarders is not christian. Thats when all hell broke loose, so to speak, robert. Robert moses is here, i didnt know whether donald trump would be quiet with on this issue and let it ride out. He hit back hard. Not a chance that he would be quiet on this issue. Greg and Rosanna Donald trump, in fact, says that the pope is a pawn of the Mexican Government wholly father responded by saying well thats up to your. This clash of titan transformed president ial race into what has become a holy or with a of words. Donald trump has shown no compunction criticizing current and past. World trade center came down by trump standards this fight is extraordinary. It all started when had pope francis criticized trump for his plan to build a wall along Mexican Border after pontiff parade for migrants died who entered the u. S. A person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not building brimmings is not christian. Trump fired right back. A religious leader to question a persons faith is disgraceful. Im proud to be a christian, and as president i will not allow christianity to be consistently attacked in weakened unlike what had is happening now with our current president. There was this. If and when the vatican is attacked by isis, i can promise you that the pope qowld have only wished and prayed that donald trump would have been president. Trump seemed to soften his tone. He said something softer than the media and he heard one side of the story probably bit Mexican Government and didnt see the tremendous strain that, you know, borders is causing us with respect to illegal immigration. Wholly father demured when asked if he would tell catholics in this country not to vote for trump. What would i advise to vote or o not to vote . I would not get mixed up in that. Man competing with trup for republican nomination reacted to this holy rift. I disagree a lot of thingings that donald trump has said but i do think america has a right a right toll build a wall but too many walls between us. We need bridges were going to fix problems in washington. I dont question peoples christianity thats a their with their lord and savior and themselves. Pope and donald. This will all have tomorrow on the South Carolina primary. Back to you. Thats right thats tomorrow. Lets bring in Chris Wallace host of fox news sunday. Chris what do you think of all of this . Look, in a campaign that we had seenering the idea that the poem could get injected into a president ial race is topper. Its really interesting you know i always say dont watch wha politicians say but what ey umiredk pretty hard early in the day when he said that questioning somebodys fahit is disgraceful but as the day went on and you saw him in theown hall last night he was kind of dialing that down, dialing that backwards make me wonder if they think they overdid it earlier in the day. I will say that South Carolina the state, the Second Lowest percentage of catholics in the country. Massachusetts has the most. South carolina somewhere around 6 to 10 . Badly as it would a heavily catholic state. Its interesting because our fox 5 Facebook Page has people who support donald trump who think politics and religion do not mix. You know, theyre talking about the wall around the vatican. Yeah thats right and wont hurt as bad in other places. I wonder if his demeanor rather than shrugging it off at the beginning and saying that it was disgraceful whether that might hurt had him. Because i think one of the doubts about trump is temperament ands thats one of the things that h has to be careful about even if you support him and right in a lot of these issues do you think he has the temperament to be president. A lot of people do. A new poll that indicates that his lead seems to be dropping. Other it is show hes holding on to his lead. Well find out tomorrow night whos right and whos wrong. Talk about demeanor. I think jeb bush hes already lost saw him in that thing. When that governor endorsed rubio looked like he got punched in the stomach. Did you notice that, chris . Absolutely. And i think you put your finger exactly on it greg when nikki haley, the very popular governor of South Carolina endorsed rubio instead of bush i think she was in effect says look we have because shes made it clear she opportunity like trump we have to stop trump who is most likely establishment candidate to be able to stop him and she ended upsz picking rubio and not her form earl fellow govan, jeb bush, and this is on a week when with haley. So as you say was a real punch in the stomach. He looked really sad. Looking sad a lot lately. No im sorry it is u true. You can feel it. When hes with his mommy and brother hes fine. His mommy but mother, the great barbara bush former first lady at the town hall had. You can tell just like its gone. Chris who is on your show . All who finished on the top in South Carolina, who . Theyre all cagey. Theyre in effect saying if we do well well come on if we dont we may not come on. All of the top people because theyll want to come on. So right now its influx. You tell me who finishes first and second and third theyll bonn o the show. Rubio. Thats your lineup. Efntle available. Can you say that again id like to write it down. [laughter] all right my prediction usually im not ass you think trump, cruz rubio thats the very close. Have a good weekend. Do you think he wrote that . I think he felt that it was obvious thats where he gave you one eve those oh, sorry. Violence in new York City Schools everybody is talking about this this morning.
