hello, and welcome to joining us here in the united days, around the world, and streaming us on cne max, i'm rosso church. just ahead, kissing the rain, ron desantis throws his support behind donald trump after the florida governor suspends his campaign. that leaves nikki haley as the last candidate standing between the former president and his third republican nomination ahead of tomorrow's new hampshire primary. despite growing pressure at home and from israel's allies abroad, benjamin netanyahu rejects a plan for hamas to release the remaining hostages in gaza. the controversy over the inauguration of a new temple in india, why the event, which many hindus will celebrate will also be a painful reminder for the country's muslim minority. lies from atlanta, this is

cnn newsroom with rosemary church. >> we begin this hour with new hampshire's looming republican primary, now just over a day away and a major shakeup in the u.s. presidential race that leaves the gop with just two main contenders, former president donald trump and nikki haley who is hoping she can leverage the granite state moderate republicans and independents. trump has consistently dominated the gop field in polling and in iowa's caucuses he beat his nearest competitor, ron desantis by a margin of nearly 30 points now trump has the endorsement of that former rival. desantis announcing sunday that he is dropping out of the race and during his support behind trump. the former president is doing fine with new hampshire republicans already a new cnn poll finds him with a comfortable 13 point lead over haley cnn's elena train has more now on desantis's surprise

announcement as well as trump's reaction to his sudden endorsement >> just hours after florida governor ron desantis suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed the former president trump came out on stage in rochester, new hampshire and congratulated him for running what he called a great campaign . he also said that desantis was being, quote, gracious for giving him his endorsement. take a listen to how donald trump put it. >> before we begin i would like to take time to congratulate ron desantis and of course a really terrific person, i have gotten to know his wife, casey, for having run a great campaign for president. he ran a really good campaign, i will tell you. it's not eink it is easy doing the stuff, right? it is not easy. as you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3:00 a.m. and in so doing, he was very gracious that he endorsed me. so i appreciate it.

i appreciate that, and i also look forward to working with ron and anybody else to defeat crooked joe biden. truck what a difference just a few hours make. i mean, this is a complete 180 from the type of rhetoric we heard donald trump use just this weekend in manchester, new hampshire on saturday trump was criticizing ron desantis and this was also the first time, i want to note, that he has actually referred to the florida governor by his real name instead of the nickname that he has given the florida governor, which is ron desanctimonious but look, i think one thing that we should be watching for is whether or not this endorsement from desantis changes anything in the minds of donald trump. already it appears it has a given the language we heard him use on sunday but over the past year now, donald trump has really viciously gone after ron desantis, attacked very heavily in the lead up to the iowa

caucuses and part of that was because the campaign was worried about desantis as a rival. the other part was because it was personal. donald trump very much believes that desantis was being disloyal by running for president after trump had endorsed him for florida governor in 2017 and that is where a lot of those attacks stemmed from, according to my conversations with donald trump advisers and his allies. but i think the question now is will his endorsement change the game? will you see ron desantis become a potential surrogate for the trump campaign. i know, as well, from our conversations with trump's team that as of now, there are no plans for desantis to show up on the trail with him but that could change. alanna trained, cnn, rochester, new hampshire. on the campaign trail sunday, nikki haley doubled down on one of her main campaign messages. she is the best option for those who want to avoid a rematch between trump and president joe biden and who don't care for either candidate

she was also gracious in her comments about ron desantis's excerpt while speaking, take a listen. >> i think ron ran a good race, i noticed personal to get into a race impersonal to get out of a race, he has been a good governor and he added a lot to the campaign and we wish him well. >> when he dropped out, part of what he said was he reminded everybody that he signed a ledge as report the republican nominee, i honor that pledge, he, meaning donald trump has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents. that is tough stuff. >> and you know it is interesting because there is no proof to that. these fellas say this because they want people to believe it. but what is amazing to me as they think they can lie to the american people and the american people will believe it. prove it, prove one thing that they have said. prove the fact that donald trump says i want to cut six social security, i've never

said that. prove that donald trump says, to raise gas taxes, i'm never said or done that. prove that ron desantis says that i'm a corporate whatever he says i am. i've never done that. i was in south carolina, we fought for the people everyday. there's a reason that you don't see the legislature lining up behind me in south carolina. it is because i got them to get them vote on the record. i have vetoed half $1 billion worth of their projects and then you see congress, the reason congress doesn't support us as i push for term limits, i push for mental competency test. they don't give us a budget on time they don't get paid. i don't get that political elite that is what we need to be talking about, not the corporate stuff that they are talking about the fact that they all sighed together against the people is what i am doing. i'm going to continue to fight for the people. there were 14 people in this race and now there are two. i'm going to finish this so joe biden and donald trump are not an issue at all, that we actually put them in the past and we go forward because our country deserves it and americans won, they are tired?

i don't need have 280-year-old sitting in the white house, we basically got to make sure that we can handle the war situation that we are in, we need to know that they are at the top of the game. we need to know that they can take care of her national security and our economy. right now i don't know if people feel like that with either one so that is why we give them a choice. the what is your message to ron desantis is a workers who are still out there? us to start a new hampshire, our latest poll this morning he was at 6%, so we are not talking about a big slice of the electorate, but they are out there. he just endorsed donald trump, what is your message to them about why they should vote for you? >> i think that they love america and i think that they want a new generational leader. and so i am telling them that i am that new generational leader. and i am the conservative that can get it done. >> larry savage who is the founder and the director for the center for politics at the university of virginia, he joined the now from

charlottesville. always good to have you with us. >> thank you, rosemary. please nikki haley is now the sole challenger up against donald trump after ron desantis ended his presidential campaign sunday and endorsed trump. but she is fast losing the support she enjoyed not so long ago in new hampshire and as desantis bailed out he attacked her, does this mark the end of her run, too? >> if she loses on tuesday, it almost certainly works, the end of her run. now she may continue through south carolina, she would be hesitant to do it because she would not want to lose her home state, that is really difficult to find people. but for all practical purposes, once desantis left and once the other candidates were knocked out of the race, it was trump's to lose and trump's to lose a significantly and he is not going to lose it. >> and he is very involved in it now, isn't he? back to desantis, why do you think he endorsed trump, given it wasn't so long ago that he attacked those who kissed the ring and then did it himself,

didn't he? trump commending him, what is in it for desantis? what is he after here? i guess he saw some good examples of ring kissing and decided to imitate it. who knows what was going through his mind other than the fact he certainly wants to run the next time. whether he will be credible as a candidate after this disaster is run, remember, he was originally supposed to be trump's main challenger and most of the establishment and the republican party was a betting on him. and his campaign crashed and burned. this was really a disgraceful enterprise in so many different ways. but in his mind, at least right now, as he is coming to terms with the demise of his dream, he is thinking about running in 2028. well-being associated with nikki haley is not going to help you because this party has already become the donald trump party or the maga party and it will be, in all likelihood,

even more so as the years go on. so being associated with nikki haley is not a good thing for ron desantis future ambitions. >> so could he serve as a surrogate to perhaps for trump, do you think? >> sure, although florida is very likely to be won by trump, anyway. i don't think he necessarily needs desantis and there are some that are feelings there. they will say good things in public but in private it is already obvious that they are not the close friends they once were, political allies, i don't think they were ever friends but political allies, and they are both there in florida. so i think while he will be used in trump, he will use anybody in a campaign. i wouldn't count on a cabinet decision. please so how did desantis's campaign go so terribly wrong after starting up pretty strongly? >> you know, sometimes you can lose by winning. desantis once such a big a

second term victory, just swamped what other republicans had done and secured a landslide, really, in places where democrats normally don't do well. when you score a landslide like that, you say to yourself partly because everybody else is saying it to you, boy, you're terrific, the greatest thing that has ever come down the pike and you start believing your news clippings. i think that was the heart of it and the secondary part of this, with all due respect to desantis, who is clearly a smart guy and he has had a lot of experience and all the rest. pretty doesn't have the kind of personality that sells in politics. for one thing, you genuinely have to like people to succeed in politics. running for president, the light is on you constantly and that light reveals who you really are. and people didn't particularly take to the

blue ballots in the state, what is going to matter is if they are on the ballot and, thank you. >> and still to come, protesters gathered near the israeli prime minister's home to demand a hostage deal. we will have his response after the break. class plus, ukraine strikes a russian oil facility what this could mean for russian troops, just a ahead. .

israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is out right rejecting hamas's demands for releasing the remaining hostages in gaza. he says hamas wants the war to end and withdrawal of troops and palestinian prisoners released. >> let it be clear, i utterly reject the hamas monsters capitulation terms. >> translator: were we to agree to this, our soldiers would have fallen in vain, were we to agree to this, we would not be

able to ensure the security of our citizens, we would be unable to save the restore the evacuees to their homes and the next october 7th would only be a question of time. >> meanwhile, families and friends of israeli hostages held a rally near mr. netanyahu's home in jerusalem on sunday again calling for their release. this comes as the wall street journal says the u.s., egypt, and qatar want israel to join a new phase of talks with hamas. sebastian joins us now live from london. good morning to you, claire. so what more are you learning about these potential talks and how vulnerable is benjamin netanyahu right now as domestic sentiment turns against him with his calls for a leadership change. >>, good morning, i think the bottom line here is that it has now been almost two months since the start of that last truce combined with hostages releases. since then we have seen the death toll in gaza go up by more than 10,000 people.

so clearly you see domestically the pressure on netanyahu is mounting, if anything, his response has been to toughen his stance publicly the issue of talks to release hostages and some kind of truce but on the issue of what gaza will look like after the war, reiterating over the weekend, comments that he also said last week that he doesn't see any future for tuesday. he said all the territory west of jordan and being very open about the fact that that is at odds with the u.s. position, the u.s. has been publicly pushing for a two state solution, netanyahu saying that sometimes you have to even say no to some of your closest friends, so clearly he is setting up his store there but behind the scenes, this wall street journal reports suggest according to officials briefed on the talks that they are at least engaging in talks

with hamas which have been blocked by qatar, u.s., and he did and those brokered countries are pushing for something that could be even bigger than what we saw the end of november, a more sustained, perhaps, pause and fighting in exchange for the release and some kind of phased fashion of all the hostages. we're not close to a deal at this point we have been in positions where the elements of these talks have leaked out before many times. i really mean that a deal is on the cards but certainly this report suggests that there are at least engaging, is netanyahu vulnerable? yes, i think he was vulnerable before the war and certainly he has been facing mounting pressure in the last few weeks mounting calls for promoting accusations, i should say, that he is not just balancing as he says the goals of bringing the hostages home with eradicating hamas but also balancing his own medical survival in there. and of course publicly saying that he is at odds with the u.s. is also politically risky.

rosemary? >> thanks to claire sebastian with that live report from london. the palestine red crescent society says it received a total of 185 aid trucks in gaza on sunday. the trucks are carrying food, water, medical supplies, and other relief assistance israeli officials are offering different numbers, saying that 260 humanitarian aid trucks into the enclave, which would make it the highest number of trucks in a single day since october 7th before the conflict between four to 500 trucks entered gaza with supplies. but regardless of the number of trucks that did get in, the need for food, medicine, and other critical supplies is enormous. in the death cole continues to climb, according to the hamas -controlled health ministry in gaza, more than 25,000 palestinians have been killed in the enclave since the war began the vast majority of

them, women and children, according to the ministry. tens of thousands more had been wounded. we turn now to the conflict in ukraine, where ukrainian troops have with drawn from a small village in the kharkiv region, as russian forces ramp up pressure in several locations along the line. ukraine is striking back, hitting areas within russia and potentially trying to disrupt moscow's military operations more details. >> reporter: the ukrainians once again demonstrating their long-distance strike capability in this case, claiming to have hit an oil depot near the town of st. petersburg. now this depot is about 100 miles west of st. petersburg on the gulf of finland and ukrainians are saying is a very important one for the russians because there they make an array of products including jet fuel and the ukrainians say that some of

those products are used by the russian military. in other words the ukrainians say they could consider this to be a legitimate target. the drone was indeed flowed from ukrainian territory it would have flown hundreds of miles across russia to then that area that area of russia that it would have flown over also has a lot of very capable air defenses. so certainly a big feet by the ukrainians if indeed they flew that drunk out of ukrainian held territory. and also all this comes only days after the russians also said that they had taken down a ukrainian drone in an area around where the strike has now happened. all this is going on while the war continues to be in full swing. the russian held area of donetsk saying that many people were killed in ukrainian shelling on sunday the ukrainians are also saying that they are trying to defend against russian pushes that are happening along the east and southeast of the front-line the russians are saying that they should take a village from the ukrainians and the kharkiv area as the russian military continues to push. cnn in eastern ukraine

far in the 2024 presidential race, but the field is already down to just two main contestants after florida governor ron desantis unexpectedly ended his campaign. the announcement came sunday afternoon on social media, less than two days before new hampshire's primary cnn reporter steve adorno has more on how the surprise decision played out. florida governor ron desantis making a decision on sunday to end his presidential campaign. he is bowing out of the race just days after iowa dealt his campaign a devastating blow with a devastating finish there far behind former president donald trump he had campaigned heavily, visiting all 99 counties but obviously not winning a single one. the decision also comes just days before new hampshire will vote in this gop presidential primary picu is not expected to do particularly well there however, he was supposed to visit the state on sunday. instead he traveled to florida

and released this video to his supporters. the following are second-place finish in iowa we have prayed and deliberated on the way forward if there is anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome come more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. but i cannot ask our supporters to volunteer their time and resources, we don't have a clear path to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign. i am proud to have delivered on 100% of my promises and i will not stop now. >> desantis wasted little time saying who he would get behind in the republican residential primary going forward, he is backing donald trump and he has some choice words for former south carolina governor, nikki haley. >> i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee and i will honor that pledge. he has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear, where we package for warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents the days of putting americans last of

kowtowing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology are over. >> a source close to desantis says he was approached by advisers in the days after the iowa caucuses with o options fo wiwinding downwn his presideden cacampaign. he rejecected those e believini that he still had a a path to t nomination and he continued to fight on, including an appearance just saturday in south carolina where he continued to press his case. he woke up sunday in a different state of mind and ultimately decided to end his presidential campaign. the big question is what comes next for the governor? he has three years left, he will then be term limited out and his advisers say don't count him out yet and 2028. steve paterno, cnn, st. petersburg, florida. earlier cnn's jim acosta spoke to tom nichols, staff writer at the atlantic about desantis's departure. tom was asked whether he was surprised to what happened and

what he thinks about nikki haley's chances going forward. >> i'm surprised only that it happened in january but i a couple of days you could have seen this coming. but nikki haley, does she have a chance? sure? does she have a good chance? almost certainly not if you believe the polls and she is going to get beaten in new hampshire and her own state in south carolina. could she pulled multiple inside straits? full coming out in new hampshire and south carolina? i just think that is so remote as to be almost impossible. not totally impossible but for the improbable. >> just to pick up on this question of tactics and strategy and how ron desantis and nikki haley, they sort of gave it the juice there right at the very end and started going after trump a little bit here and there but it was sort of nibbling around the edges and

what did you make of that? is that also terribly not surprising? had they gone after them? >> i don't know if it would have made a difference but it was 2016 all over again where all of these people ran against donald trump on the assumption that at some point, trump would falter or be convicted of something and they would be the heirs to the trump voters and it just doesn't work that way anymore. it is a cult of personality. doesn't scale or transfer and they were also afraid of running against him that they basically just ran with him and the implosion of the desantis campaign is no surprise. a lot of folks realized that to know ron desantis on the trail, i don't mean this in a personal sense but for voters who met him, the more they met in the more they didn't like and that he just had no compelling

message, wasn't trying to run against donald trump. you don't get anywhere by running and saying you know the guy, the front-runner he is a good guy, he should have been president. i am just like him. that is not actually a primary. and nikki haley, i think, has realized too late that she should have taken the gloves off and just let fall where they may because i think no matter what she does it will be the same result. >> that was tom nichols, star writer of the atlantic. donald trump is expected back in a new york city courtroom today, the former president is asking for a mistrial in the defamation case involving writer e. jean carroll. it is not clear if trump will take the stand in the case, the trial is to determine how much money trump owes carol over defamatory statements. later in the day, trump is scheduled to hold a rally in new hampshire ahead of tuesday's primary. and we are back in just a moment, stay with us.

indian prime minister modi inaugurated a new multi-alien dollar ram tumble in ionia today , the construction for the temple fulfills his long- standing promise in an election year, the controversial hindu temple stands on the site of a live from ionia, so what is the latest on this? >> reporter: about 2.5 kilometers away from where the ram, i was consecrated between 12:20, 12:30 p.m. local time, india. this is a historic moment, it is a controversial moment, as well. let's start with the historic moment. it is a historic moment for hindus across india and the world because this is a moment they have been waiting for. it is the culmination of the push by hindu nationalist organizations over the last

four decades to build a ram temple at the site, which they believe is the birthplace of lord ram. but for muslims that we spoke with here in ionia it is reopening old wounds because these are people that lost family members in the 1992 , you know rise that we spoke of with 2000 people died after a lot of them were family members and the muslims they feel like second-class citizens what they have to say most of them said we'll be watching now this is significant for one man that you would have seen in the rain and the inner sanctum of the ram temple, i'm talking about the leader of india, the indian prime minister narendra modi, it is an election year and he is seeking a third record term as a leader of india as the prime minister and this opening comes just months before the elections? what the opposition party members are saying is that he has politicized this along with his party. they

believe that he is using this as an opportunity ahead of the elections to cash in on more to consolidate the hindu vote based that they currently also have a huge share of, and that is where it stands. let's talk about the celebrations, as well. as soon as the consecration happened, rosemary, there was troubles left over the temple as where is is eric, i'm actually holding one of those rose petals that fell on us here. that was part of the chopper that flew rose petals out as part of the celebration. it is not only india that is celebrating this, but indians overseas, as well. times square, new york, has also been celebrating this moment in the lead up to the consecration, you had scores of indians at times square celebrating the moment we had images to show how that was done last night. so in conclusion, this is the moment that my minister was waiting for, a promise he had

delivered on but there is a minority community, the muslims, who are watching this a bit nervous, sad, and like i said, it has reopened wounds for them. back to you. thank you, joining us live from ionia in india. another health concern of britain's royal family, sarah ferguson, the duchess of york has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma. that is according to the uk press association, citing her spokesperson. it is an aggressive warm of skin cancer, which was discovered after several malls were removed when ferguson was treated for breast cancer last june the 64-year-old dutchess, who was previously married to prince andrew, said to be recovering at home and is in good spirits. i want to thank you for joining us, i am rosewood church coming up next, for our viewers here in the united states and in canada, i will be back with

welcome back to viewers here in north america. returning to our top story this hour, former south carolina governor, nikki haley, is now the last republican candidate standing against former president donald trump after order governor ron desantis suspended his 2024 bit or the white house with that announcement coming ahead of tuesday's crucial new hampshire primary. desantis endorsed trump, as he dropped out of the race his departure comes after his second-place anish in the iowa caucuses last week trump has reacted saying desantis ran a quote, really good campaign. is joe biden's campaign is closely monitoring the contest as they ed closer to a possible one-on-one contest with former president donald trump. in an kevin love tech has details >> ron desantis's decision to drop out by the republican

contest didn't come as much of a surprise to president biden's campaign advisers but it certainly does bring them closer to this one-on-one contest with the former president, donald trump in fact, in their statement on sunday, democrats didn't really go after desantis much. in particular they were much more focused on president trump, saying that desantis was the latest member of the republican party to all in line behind the original maga brand and that he had pinned his entire campaigns hopes on the same extreme maga agenda, both donald trump and nikki haley are still running on? at the end of the day, president biden's team really do view trump as the most likely republican nominee? of course, polls bear that out and they have long sort of looked past ron desantis and his fellow republican candidates to the general election, to this contest with president trump. and they are very eager for this to become a one-on-one contest. they do have internal research that shows many undecided voters just don't believe that

president trump will become the republican nominee. and until that happens, it is very hard for them to make this choice argument. this contrast argument when it comes to president biden. they are very eager to do that. much harder to do when it is just president biden and a republican candidate in the abstract. they think it will be much easier to get voters engaged and to make their own argument for president biden what it is president trump as the nominee or at least the likely nominee now next week you will see president biden and kamala harris really ramping up their campaign activity. they will appear in their first joint appearance in northern virginia on tuesday, trying to counter program the new hampshire primary, their focus there and over the next several days will be on reproductive rights on abortion, this is pegged the anniversary of the original roe versus wade supreme court decision. what you will hear president biden do is make the argument

that president trump is as much responsible for the overturning of roe versus wade, through his three supreme court nominations as anyone else. in effect, that is an argument that president trump has made himself on the campaign trail and certainly president biden's team believes this is a galvanizing issue for voters and something that will help turn out voters come next year's election. kevin love tech, cnn, traveling with president biden in delaware. clap with desantis out of the race, the latest cnn polling shows trump has now widened his lead in new hampshire over nikki haley gary tuchman spoke to voters in the granite state ahead of tuesday's republican primary. >> we came down to downtown portsmouth, new hampshire with two specific questions for people who plan to vote in tuesday's republican primary. both questions that were asked on cnn's entrance poll in iowa. the first question that was asked to people, is donald trump fit for the presidency if

convicted of a crime? 65% of the republican said yes, he is fit for the presidency. almost two thirds? how do you feel about that? if he he is fit? >> i do feel as though he is still fit to be president of the united states, yes. please so if he is found guilty you would still vote for him? >> yes. >> this man who had told us he is voting for nikki haley feels much differently. >> if he is convicted of a crime i don't think you should be the president. >> hank boucher says he hasn't decided who he will vote for. but does say he likes trump. >> is donald trump fit for the presidency if he is convicted of a crime? 91 counts against him? >> i will say yes because i don't think there's any legitimate things that they are charging him for. >> why is that? >> what are they charging him for? that is all crap stuff that biden once him. >> we told him there is no evidence whatsoever that president biden will find any of this but hank boucher is sticking with what he believes please so biden is going to do every thing he can do to get into office. >> that is what donald trump is saying that biden is a good but

you are believing trump about that. >> out. >> you say it is biden's fault. >> definitely. >> then there is the second question from cnn's entrance poll, also showing nearly two thirds of iowa caucus goers fighting with trump. we voted for donald trump, the question for you is, do you think joe biden legitimately won the election in 2020? >> yes. >> he is probably voting for ron desantis. >> do you think joe biden legitimately won in 2020? >>. i do. >> mary lou carr is voting for haley. >> do you think joe biden won legitimately in 2020? >> yes, i do. >> carvel taft is also voting for her. >> do you think joe biden legitimately won in 2020? >> i do. >> does it bother you that donald trump keep saying that that is not the case? >> no, doesn't bother me. i expect that from him. >> alexander feels much differently. he is a trump supporter who is pretty much all in. >> there was not a lot of finagling going on, there's no

doubt about it, whether it caused him to win, i don't know. >> what kind of finagling? >> just with the voters stealing a ballot, i think, hearing things about truck carrying ballots from here to here. please you are hearing about these things? please seeing on tv. >> but there is no evidence of that it is something that donald trump keeps talking about but there is no evidence of any widespread fraud. but yet you believe there was. >> i really do coming out. >> so what happens if donald trump ends up hearing one or more guilty verdicts? this was not a lonely sentiment. >> so if he is convicted of one of these crimes, which could result in prison time, would you still vote for him? >> yes i would. >> would you think it is possible that donald trump is just making up things as he goes along? that he is basically poking you? do you know what punching means, tricking you. >> now, he is not.

clattering now to the brutal winter weather in the united states that has cost a growing number of people their lives, at least 82 people in 13 states have now reported dead falling back to back winter storms since the second week of january. the number increased sunday after both tennessee and mississippi reported additional weather-related deaths. meantime, transportation department from several states are urging travelers to delay their commutes or avoid getting on the road monday. that is as freezing rain could create some icy conditions overnight in the south and in the lanes cnn meteorologist lisa rafah has more on the week ahead. we still have some of that arctic air in place, still sitting in the upper midwest in the central plains for your monday morning with temperatures near and below freezing for oklahoma city, little rock, and kansas city this is important because we

have some moisture moving in and our next storm system and that can mean an icy start. look at it really flourishing as a go to the morning commute for parts of arkansas, missouri, and oklahoma city and could linger until the afternoon on monday and that could mean some slick roads through a lot of the day all that moisture starts to make its way to the north, maybe some snow mixing and in chicago and we have some heavy rain as we start out the work week along the gulf coast as we continue to pump some of that moisture inland here's a look at those ice accumulations. a lot of us can see up to a quarter of an inch through ice of most of missouri back into oklahoma and then northwest arkansas, as well. there's a little spot above little rock that could have half an inch of ice possible, that could really weigh down power lines and certainly cause problems on the roads then on the warm and wet side of this we are looking at a flood threat that will play out for the next couple of days where we are looking at that slight risk of flooding from eastern texas across louisiana, mississippi and alabama through wednesday were several inches

of rain could cause some flash flooding problems and we are looking at rain totals upwards of four inches or more that could be looking heavy at times and again really just aggravate some of those ground conditions and cause some flooding. all this is being fueled by much warmer air that is moving and we start out the work week, maybe five to 10 degrees above average but man, by the end of the week we are looking at temperatures searching 10 to 15 to 20 degrees above average, even in the 70s from charlotte down to atlanta? look at how some of these temperatures are playing out even in d.c., you go out with highs near 40 on monday, getting into the 60s by the end of the week. atlanta nearing 70 degrees by the end of the week and what i find remarkable is even some of these overnight lows can get into the 60s by the end of the week from atlanta to orlando in new orleans from a lot of these could cause some records to fall as we go through this warm- up. weather extremes also causing problems in the uk. much of the country is under

high wind alerts with gusts up to 100 miles per hour, possible in some areas due to storm geisha the windy conditions, even caused some shaky landings at london's heathrow airport with tilting planes from side to side as they came in for a landing and this reddish airways flight was even forced to reattempt its landing after the lane tilted and just one wheel made contact with the ground. more than 100 flights were canceled and more than 300 others were delayed at heathrow on sunday. in the nfl playoffs, the kansas city chiefs are headed to a familiar spot, their sixth straight afc championship game. facing the buffalo bills in new york on sunday, chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes found some more playoff magic, connecting with the star titan, travis kelce, 42 touchdowns in the game. kelsey's girlfriend, taylor swift, clearly impressed.

the chiefs held a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter when buffalo missed on what would have been a game-tying field goal. chiefs win 27-24. they will now play the baltimore ravens next sunday for the conference title and a chance at another super bowl appearance. i want to thank you so much for your company this hour, be back in a,, don't go anywhere.
