  Speaker 1: there could be a deal on Iran. Secretary of State
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio speaking with George Stephanopolis on the talks.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: There are clearly people there talking to us in ways
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that previous people in charge in Iran have not spoken
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to us in the past.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It's payday for TSA officers for the first time in weeks,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: giving new hope for travelers dealing with five hour security
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: lines at some airports. Over the weekend Moon mission, we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hear from the Artemist two crew just days away from
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: being launched deeper into space than any human in history.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And a kangaroo in the Midwest goes on a four
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: day adventure after he escapes from a petting zoo. We
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: have much more what you need to know now. I'm
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Scholzie from ABC News. It's Monday, March thirtieth. This
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is what you need to know. We'll show you the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: next place you may see price hikes due to the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: war in Iran and the comeback win that propelled you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: con men's basketball into Final four. But first, the big story,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the war with Iran is now in its fifth week,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and the US military presence in the Middle East is growing.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: More than fifty thousand American troops are in the region
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and more are on the way, including thirty five hundred
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: sailors and marines from a unit equipped with transport and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: strike fighter aircraft and amphibious assault capabilities, another fifteen hundred
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: soldiers from the Army's Elite eighty second Airborne. Those troops
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: are trained to parachute behind enemy lines. Iran is publicly defiant,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: warning that should the US launch ground troops, Iran would
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: set fire to them and punish their regional partners forever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Aran now threatening to target American universities with campuses in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the region. President Trump posting on social media that the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: US is in serious discussions with a new and more
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: reasonable regime on ending the hostilities. George Stephanopolis pressed Secretary
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of State Marco Rubio for details. Who is this new
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and more reasonable regime is The United States is in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: direct contact with them.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to disclose to you who those
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: people are because it probably we get them in trouble
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: with some other groups of people inside of Iran. Look,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: there's some fractures going on there internally, and if there
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: are new people now in charge who have a more
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: reasonable vision of the future, that would be good news
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: for us, for them, for the entire world. But we
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: also have to be prepared for the possibility, maybe even
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the probability that that is not the case, but they are.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Is that the case or is it not. I'm just
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: trying to get some clarity on that.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Well, what I mean is, yeah, Look, so you have
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: people that are saying some of the right things privately.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Obviously they're not going to put it out in press releases,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and what they say to you or put out there
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for the world doesn't necessarily reflect what they're saying in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: our conversations. But at the end of the day, we
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: have to see that these people end up being the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ones in charge. Seeing if they're the ones that have
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the power to deliver. We're going to test it. We
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: are hopeful that that's the case. There are clearly people
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they are talking to us in ways that previous people
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in charge in Iran have not spoken to us in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the past. We always prefer to settle things through negotiation
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and diplomacy, but we also have to be prepared for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the fact that that effort might fit that we are
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: dealing with a forty seven year old regime that still
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: has a lot of people involved in it who aren't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: necessarily big fans of diplomacy or piece.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The economic follout of the war and Iran is squeezing consumers.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The price of oil is now up more than fifty
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: percent in just four weeks. Some analysts predicted could hit
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a barrel. With no clear end to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the gridlock in the Strait of Hormus, drivers are seeing
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: those gas prices spike at a record setting pace. The
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: national average now three dollars and ninety six cents a gallon.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: One month ago, it was two ninety four. Gas Buddy
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: says it is likely to pass four dollars in the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: next couple of days, and diesel is averaging above five dollars.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: That means that the next place to watch for these
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: price hikes is food. The Agriculture Department just updated its
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: monthly food forecast. It says grocery prices could increase as
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: much as six percent this year, with beef prices expected
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to go up another ten percent, fresh vegetables up five percent,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Fish and seafood at four percent, so those foods that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: spoil have to be transported quickly. Those prices could increase
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: first when grocers are paying more for fuel, and the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: stock market also is taking a hit. The S and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: P five hundred, which is what tracks most Americans retirement accounts,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: has tumbled about seven percent since the start of the war.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: For the typical four oh one K balance, that translates
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to a loss of more than ten thousand dollars in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: four weeks. Well, travel chaos is continuing at the nation's airports.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: TSA officers are set to start receiving paychecks today on
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: President Trump's orders, after going weeks without pay. The partial
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: government shutdown is now entering day forty five, with some
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: airport security checkpoints seeing lines as long as five hours
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Will Reeves at Liberty Airport in Newark, New.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Jersey, Elizabeth TSA officers are still calling out at record rate.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Those workers are incredibly frustrated with not getting paid in weeks,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: some unable to afford childcare or gas for their cars
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to get to work. Travelers also frustrated by security lines
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that have slowed to a crawl, some snaking around airports
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: waits up to five hours, all amid the spring break
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: travel crush, and conditions have been so dire at some
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: airports that some travelers have resorted to hiring line sitters
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to wait for them.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Rachel has more on the state of play from Washington.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Hey, Elizabeth Well, forty five days into this partial government
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: shutdown in Congress has left town for two weeks. I've
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: talked to Democrats and Republicans and right now there are
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: no plans for them to return to address this. This
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: has become the longest government shut down in American history.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: The President has taken action to pay TSA workers, but
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: that is only a temporary fix. Only Congress can fully
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: fund the Department of Homeland Security, and there are still
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: thousands of DHS workers who are going without pay, including
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: civilian employees with the Coast Guard and with FEMA. The
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Senate and the House have passed two competing proposals. Democrats
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: still demanding significant changes to immigration before fully funding DHS,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: but instead of staying here in Washington to work out
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: their differences, lawmakers have all left town for a two
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: week recess, and it is worth noting they are still
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: getting their paychecks with no end in sight to this
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: partial government shutdown.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth, we have much more what you need to know.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Here's your daily briefing other big stories that we're following
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: on ABC News. A Russian tanker is expected to deliver
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more than seven hundred thousand barrels of crude oil to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Cuba this week, despite the blockade from President Trump's administration.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Sunday night, the President said he has no problem with
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Russia or another country providing that relief, adding that Cubans
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have to survive. Trump has been pushing for regime change
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in Cuba after his administration cut off oil shipments. The
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: island has been gripped by a deepening economic and energy
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: crisis and widespread blackouts. It's just two days to lift
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: off for NASA's Artemis two mission, set to launch four
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: ass deeper into space than any human has ever gone before.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They'll slingshot around the Moon and come back to Earth
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in about ten days. It's a crucial step in NASA's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: multi billion dollar project to land humans on the Moon,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: build a lunar base, and send future astronauts to Mars.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The crew speaking out about their upcoming.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Mission doing this because it's a unique opportunity.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: We are going for all and buy all.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: This is what NASA and bodies.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: We have the opportunity to answer the question that could
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: be the question of our lifetime, which is are we alone?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And this weekend March Madness did not disappoint. The men's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: final four is now set. Number one seed Michigan and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Arizona will fight it out, and Illinois and will face Yukon.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The Yukon Huskies pulling off a nineteen point comeback against
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Duke There's the number one overall seed, a deflection, a steal,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and then Brailon Mullens from the Logo hits that three pointer.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The Huskies with one of the biggest come from behind
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: winds in tournament history. Final score with seventy three seventy two.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The Yukon women all so punched their ticket to the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: final four after cruising pass Notre Dame. Is the sixth
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: time in the school's history that both the men and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: women's teams have made it to the final fours. Both
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: teams won the NCAA Championships in two thousand and four
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and in twenty fourteen, and new today, a federal judge
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: will hear arguments on whether the Pentagon is defying a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: court order by imposing new limits on press access following
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a legal defeat earlier this month, the New York Times
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: saying that the Trump administration's Department of Defense acted in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: quote flagrant disobedience of a court ruling that concluded that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon's press access policy was unconstitutional. The rules in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: question were implemented by the DoD in October twenty twenty five,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: including requiring that reporters agree that their access to the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Pentagon could be revoked if they publish information not approved
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: for release that's deemed sensitive. In a court filing Friday,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: lawyers for the Defense Department claimed that they had complied
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: with the ruling. And before you go, a baby caitango
• 9:00

  Speaker 1: The kangaroo, named Chesney, scaled an eight foot fence and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: then popped down the road. A desperate four day search ensued,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: with temperatures falling into the teams at night. Sunshine Farm
• 9:18

• 9:23
