hall.... while new controversy is brewing between republican candidate donald trump and the pope. here's abc's ray raimundi. the stakes -- couldn't be higher. the presidential hopefulls -- hot on the campaign trail. the democrats -- criss crossing thru the state of nevada. sot - hillary clinton / presidential candidate "to have an election that is about real change?not promises you can't keep." sot - bernie sanders / presidential candidate "the eyes of america will be on nevada" both democratic candidates facing voters at a telivised town hall meeting -- answering tough questions on topics like immigration, privacy and their records sot - hillary clinton / presidential candidate ""maybe it's that senator sanders wasn't really a democrat until he decided to run for president," she said. "he doesn't know what the last two democratic presidents did." nats: of crowd booing clinton response: "well, it's true. it's true. you know it's true," sot - bernie sanders / presidential candidate "if anybody thinks a member of the united states senate or the united states house has to agree with somebody in his own

know, all the time, that's not my understanding of democracy." nats - of clapping at republican town hall on the republican side, john kasick, jeb bush, and donald trump?.face -to-face with south carolina voters. at issue -- religion. and comments the pope made criticizing donald trump sot - donald trump / presidential candidate cooper: was there a moment you first heard the pope had said something about you that you thought maybe you're going to have to ask for forgive forgiveness? trump: no. i have a lot of respect for the pope... // but i think he was misinterpreted. tag: going into both contests this weekend, the latest polls in south carolina show donald trump still far ahead of e pack?. while in nevada hillary clinton and bernie sanders are still in a statistical tie. rr, abc news new york nevada will play a key role in candidates gaining momentum in their campaign. kolo 8 news now's rebecca kitchen takes a look at the role of the

many candidates focus their attention on washoe and clark counties. we've seen that with so many candidates making multiple stops here... and rightly so... those two counties hold the majority of the state's population. but there's a different dynamic between the caucus and the election... giving the rurals more of a voice. ... dr. eric herzik.. chair of the political science department at unr says during the general election. .... the rurals get washed out by washoe and clark counties....but they play a bigger role in a caucus... the rurals are overwhelimingly republican and have a higher voter turnout meaning more participants per capita. and it gives them a louder caucus voice. historically... democrats don't do well in the rurals... however.. dr. herzik says they can be used to a candidate's secure a party nomination.... just like 2008 in terms of the caucus, president obama rather smartly

even though the number of votes coming out of there is quite small. but you got a disproportionate weight so even though he lost the overall count it actually gave him a boost in the number of committed delegates. that's just a quirck in the democratic caucus rules. he says democrats can expect to lose the rurals during the general election.. when the caucus is done.... he says both democrats and republicans will focus their attention on getting high voter turnout in clark and washoe when it comes time to elect the next president... and a reminder... the democrats will caucus tomorrow..... the republicans... on tuesday. . ### dave and amanda....dr herzik also says this has been the strangest election he's seen with many of the standard rules not applying to certain candidates.. so that makes it hard to predict how this caucus will play out. former president bill clinton will be in reno today to campaign for hillary. he'll be at the "hillary

he will lie in repose in the great hall. his casket will arrive in just about an hour and a private ceremony will take place. the public is invited to pay respects after that. justice scalia died last weekend. there's talk that nevada governor brian sandoval, could be a supreme court justice -- and state officials aren't exactly denying it. governor sandoval was on the washington post's short list for a supreme court nominee. during nevada senator harry reid's visit to democratic headquarters in reno, he was asked about the rumor. reid said he'd rather keep his converstations with the governor private, but didn't deny the possibility. a local political expert is saying sandoval's nomination makes sense. s/prof. fred lokken/tmcc

interesting rumor because everything about it is valid. including the fact that obama would kind of go off the board and literally look for a qualified republican. that the strong feeling is that it could meet the muster of expectations, political expectations of the senate, of a republican controlled senate. republicans have vowed they won't hold any hearings on an obama supreme court nominee, but the president says that won't stop him from naming one. senator reid says he wants to see a nominee named in 10 days to get the process rolling. governor sandoval hasn't commented on the claims. new sanctions for north korea are now law. president obama signed off on the new measure yesterday. the sanctions are punishment for kim jong-un's regime, after launching several nuclear and missile tests -- as well as suspected cyber attacks. the measures freeze the assets of anyone doing business related to north korea's nuclear or weapons programs -- or anyone suspected of

rights abuses in north korea. new developments in the f-b-i standoff with apple. the company is still refusing to help hack the san berardino gunman's i-phone. now, other tech giants like google, microsoft and twitter are rushing to apple's defense, even as authorities claim they need to be able to hack into phones to crack cases beyond terrorism. experts say it wouldn't be hard to design a gateway or backdoor, but it would open a pandora's box for tens of millions of smartphone users. you would have created what amounts to a smart, software bomb // that if it falls into the wrong hands//could then be turned around and used to unlock every iphone and ipad in existence. law enforcement officials are frustrated with apple's attitude. the justice department is expected to take additional steps in court to force apple to open the terrorists i- phone. there was a 'ladies night out' event in fallon -- but not the kind you would expect. it took place at banner churchill community

opportunity to focus on women's health. the event was to highlight the hospitals new women's imaging suite with their state of the art 3-d mammography machine - the newest in the state of nevada. it captures 3-c images in matter of seconds -- with less of a radiation dose for patients. "meaning it looks completely through the breast tissue. one analogy would be you take a loaf of bread and slice it all up and you take each slice out and lay it out flat and the radiologist can see it rather than just looking at the outside of the loaf." mammography specialist, susan cooper says the new technology can detect cancer earlier... and results in fewer false positives. the american cancer society recommends most women start getting yearly mammograms at the age of forty. in an effort to protect seniors in our community, the sparks fire department is starting a senior safety program. "a lot of our calls that our crews go on deals with falls from older adults and a olot of that is becasue of the wrong type of

having the right type of mats for the bathroom, for your tub." the program is called 'remembering when'. fire crews would hold seminars at senior centers and nursing homes to emphasize safety points for the elderly. they hope to hold seminars starting in april. if you're looking for a cost effective way to get to work, you might be interested in the vanpool program. they've partnered with v-ride, a national vanpool provider, to take people in washoe county to many different destinations. v-ride supplies the vehicles and covers all insurance and maintenance costs. riders split the cost of a rolling 30-day lease and gas with some help from r-t-c carol perry, rtc "the rtc smart trips program contributes a substantial subsidy a minimum of $400 to lower participants costs." butt with "i save gas, we get extra money." r-t-c says vanpool will
