Transcript

[Dave Anthony]

A man questioned in the Nancy Guthrie case. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News.

[Matt Finn]

What, what were they asking you about?

[Dave Anthony]

Were my whereabouts, okay, where do I work, where was I and all that. Carlos Palozuelos was detained after a traffic stop and then released. He also tells Fox's Matt Finn someone had suggested he might look like the masked man. And video footage released from outside Nancy Guthrie's home when she was kidnapped. They also took his phone and searched his house.

[Matt Finn]

There were all types of, you know, law enforcement vehic tape, the red and blue lights. And then all of a sudden investigators just packed it up and, and took off.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox's med fit outside Carlos's home in Rio Rico, Arizona.

[Matt Finn]

A woman came out from the house as well who identified herself as Carlos's mother in law. And she actually said that investigators told her that they were tipped off that Nancy Guthrie was being held here. And this is what she said on camera. And she goes, I, there's no one here. Feel free to enter. You know, so she seemed pretty transparent. But he, Carlos seemed the same way. He said, look, you know, I, I, I told him, I have nothing to do with this. You could enter my home. You could do whatever you would like.

[Dave Anthony]

It's day 11 of the search for the 84 year old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. It's quiet at the airport in El Paso, Texas. All flights commercial, private cargo to and from there have been canceled. Fox's Chris Foster has details.

[Chris Foster]

The airspace over El Paso, Texas and part of southern New Mexico is closed for the next 10 days through late February 20th. The Federal Aviation Administration says it's for special security reasons, not saying what those reasons are. A statement from El Paso International Airport says the closures came on short notice and travelers should contact their airlines.

[Dave Anthony]

They're in shock. In western Canada, someone went on a shooting spree at a school in the small town of Tumblr Ridge, murdering seven people, wounding about 25 others, then killing herself.

[Matt Finn]

We can't imagine what the community is going through, but I know it's causing us all to hug our kids a little bit tighter.

S Iran talks through an intermediary following President Trump's recent threats to attack Iran again last year if like last year, if Iran does not scale back its nuclear program.

[NetSuite Commercial Announcer]

Israeli officials worry that nuclear negotiations could lead to a deal with Iran that curbs the country's uranium enrichment but leaves Iran's ballistic missile program intact.

[Dave Anthony]

[Jonathan Savage]

Frank Kom was one of four World Central Kitchen aid workers killed by an Israeli drone on Gaza in in April 2024. Three British security staff also died. Now the Australian government wants someone held accountable. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he's conveyed to Israeli President Isaac Herzog a request for criminal charges during a meeting in Canberra.

To put it in perspective, the April 2023 reading of 3.4% marked the lowest in 54 years.
