welcome to all of you watching us in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brubbrunhuber. the united states responds to the drone tack in jordan.

and again calling for the government to work toward a ceasefire and bring the hostages home. and president biden wins south carolina primary in a landslide, but still problematic concerns for his campaign. the united states has carried out more strikes in the middle east iran the houthis. the u.s. said that it destroyed an anti ship missile that was prepared to launch. earlier saturday american and british forces struck 36 targets in yemen at 13 locations. faa jets and a pair of sdroirs hit what the u.s. says were facilities involved in attacks on international shipping. the strikes in yemen come one day after airstrikes in iraq and syria. the u.s. said those were retaliation for a drone strike that killed three u.s. soldiers in jordan earlier in the week.

paula hancocks is joining us now. what has been the reaction in the region? >> reporter: we've heard from iran for example, of course these are iranian backed groups and iranian militias that have been targeted over the weekend on both those occasions. iran's foreign minister saying that what the u.s. is doing at this point is making it very difficult to be able to get some kind of peace deal together, also pointing out that the u.s. is showing aggressive policy in the middle east. u.s. officials saying this is not an escalation, the overnight strikes local time that we saw against houthi rebels with the united kingdom and also with a number of other countries showing their support. now, they have said that it is necessary to keep the freedom of navigation in this particular

area. and we heard from the uk defense minister saying that it is not an escalation as we have already targeted many of these assets over recent weeks. this is the third time the u.s. and uk have carried out these joint attacks against houthi rebels and we've seen on previous occasions as well that it has not stopped the efforts by the houthis to disrupt commercial shipping in the red sea. in fact what they did say, a houthi senior official, that we will meet escalation with escalation following those targeted attacks from the u.s. and uk. we also saw an anti ship missile being taken out we understand by the united states saying that it was in imminent danger and was ready to be launched. so at this point we're hearing pushback from the houthis, from iran as well. we've also heard from russia, a

spokesperson saying that an urgent united nations security council meeting was necessary. a diplomatic source telling cnn that that is expected to come on monday. russia saying that this is not helping matters in the region. but of course the u.n. security council is very much split with russia and china on one side and the u.s. and its allies on the other side. so we're not expecting any kind of resolution to come out from that. but we are seeing from the u.s. side an insistence that this is not an escalation. at the same time making it clear that this is not the last strikes we are going to see. for example, what we saw friday into saturday overnight local time striking targets in iraq and syria, the iranian backed militias that they believe were responsible for that deadly drone attack which killed three u.s. service men at the end of january. we have heard from washington, from the pentagon, that this is

just the start of those attacks. they specified there would be a multitiered response to the deadly drone attack. so clearly we have not seen the end of the u.s. response yet. >> appreciate those updates. paula hancocks, thank you so much. as paula just mentioned, the u.n. security council is planning to meet monday to discuss the airstrikes in the middle east and russia says it requested the urgent meeting, kcriticizing the strikes. and the white house says u.s. president biden approved the strikes earlier this week. and priscilla alvarez has more on the strikes and that decision. >> reporter: the u.s. and its allies announcing another round of strikes against houthis in yemen in an attempt to try to degrade and diminish their capabilities as the nhouthis continue to target vessels in

the red sea, a move that could rock the global economy. this is the third round of strikes that this coalition has engaged in and two senior administration officials tell me that president biden gave the green light for these strikes to take place on monday, but of course it takes time and preparations to roll the strikes out. when they did happen, it happened when president biden was at his campaign headquarters saturday morning in a show of how the campaign trail and the ongoing situation in the middle east are colliding this election year. now, the president did not weigh in on the strike, but u.s. officials have consistently said that they will take these measures in an attempt to deter the houthis. of course this is separate from the retaliatory measures that were taken by the u.s. on friday. those were in response to the deaths of three service members in jordan and targeted about 85 targets in iraq and syria. but again, all of this happening as president biden arrived here in los angeles for fundraising events and heads to nevada

tomorrow for another campaign rally and a show of how the president is hitting the campaign trail while he's also grappling with the ongoing situation in the middle east and trying to avoid engaging in a wider raeegional war or escalatg any conflict there. priscilla alvarez, traveling with the president, cnn. calls for a new government are growing louder in israel as more protestors take to the streets. they blocked a highway near tel aviv on saturday using fire to write the word help on the pavement as you can sek can see. they want the current government out and the hostages still held back home. further north protestors marched near one of the residents of prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling for his removal. meanwhile hamas is digging in on its demands for any possible deal on hostages which include

ending israel's military operations. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken is headed to the region later today, it is his fifth trip to the middle east since the october 7 attacks. elliott gotkine is live in london. so take us through what is behind these various protests and the reaction to a proposed deal. >> reporter: essentially there are two protests taking place last night. the ongoing protests happening for weeks now which are demanding that israeli government do whatever it takes to bring the hostages home, and then in an adjacent street, there are these protests now against prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government calling on it to step down so there could be fresh elections. because of the geographical proximity of the protests and their ultimate objectives in getting the hostages home, they tend to bleed into one another because many of those people protesting whose primary concern is getting the hostages home feel that benjamin netanyahu is becoming an obstacle to doing a

hostage deal. they will point to leaked recordings of a conversation between netanyahu and families representing hostages still held in the gaza strip, some 120 days now, they say it might have come from the government because their phones were taken and in that recording netanyahu was heard to be criticizing the qataris who are the main mediators. and also netanyahu's comments saying that israel would not be releasing in his words thousands of terrorists in exchange for getting the hostages home. and also to his national security minister the right winger who said that reckless deal with hamas would lead to dissolution of the government, something netanyahu doesn't want because ultimately that would lead to an investigation into how october 7 happened on netanyahu's watch. and as all the opinion polls suggest netanyahu in an election would quickly be ejected from office. at the moment, there is no actual hostage deal on the table. what there is a so-called

framework that hamas and israel have agreed to, which seems to suggest that there would be phases to some kind of pause about a six week pause in fighting. a number of hostages would be released in exchange for three times the number of palestinian prisoners. and then the next week more exchanges. and then ultimately the bodies hamas is holding would also be released. but hamas insisting that not only does israel need to pause fighting, it also needs to withdraw from the gaza strip and netanyahu saying that no deal will be done that conflicts with israel's objectives of destroying hamas, preventing the threat of security and of course getting the hostages home. so at the moment they seem far apart, but there is obviously hope where we're inching somewhere to the middle. >> elliott got kin, thank you so much. want to bring in director of the carnegie middle east center live from beirut.

thank you for being with us. when we look at the u.s. stlriks against the houthis and iranian proxies, are any of these actions enough do you think to actually deter these groups? >> good morning and thank you for having me. not really. i mean, the strikes are undermining their capacities in a good way, but it is not sufficient. the danger in this situation is that as more and more strikes are conducted on both sides, whether it is houthi attacks in the red sea or as we've seen the various nonstate groups across the region, and now the u.s. response to these strikes, the danger of an accidental

escalation becomes much greater. we're understanding -- as we now understand that the strike against the u.s. strikes last week was an accident, it was not meant to take out u.s. lives. but these accidents are going to occur more and more unfortunately. >> all these attacks are tied to the israel war against hamas, iran has said that the u.s. strikes make diplomacy harder. of course they would say that, but are they right here? >> i don't think so. i mean, yes, absolutely the u.s. and the international community have to double down on their diplomatic efforts conducting military strikes without a diplomatic track doesn't make sense. it has to begin with a total ceasefire in gaza. your previous report was talking about a framework from the

palestinian perspective, they are very concerned because there is nothing to stop israel from continuing to wreak havoc on gaza once it gets what it wants out of the deal. so we need to have a framework not just for a total ceasefire in gaza, but also what would happen across the region. the lebanon border is one area where serious diplomatic effort is under way to kormcalm things down. we need similar efforts in other parts of the region as well. >> i'm wondering if there is a peace deal or at least a ceasefire agreement, does a lot of this regional tension fade relatively quickly or do the long-standing issues mean that that is unlikely? >> we will see definitely a quick deescalation of the fighting. last time there was a ceasefire in gaza, fighting along the

lebanon border stopped. so that various attacks against u.s. and other troops, they just stopped. that is a pre-condition for bringing down tensions in the region. now, is that pitting the ground work -- will that lay the groundwork for a long time and more sustainable peace? no. i think there is a lot more effort that needs to be put in that area for medium to long term sustainable peace. however in the short term we need to stop the bloodshed. we're talking around 28,000 people already dead in gaza, more than 70% to 80% of gaza totally destroyed. hospitals, schools, cemetery, public records, everything. and humanitarian crisis, famine in gaza. >> to that end secretary of state antony blinken is traveling to the region again

trying to get more humanitarian aid. this is his fifth trip since the attacks began. do you expect him to have anymore success this time? >> you cannot be pushing for humanitarian aid and defunding at the same time. the bulk of humanitarian support -- panhalestinians rely unrwa for not only the humanitarian support now in a time of crisis, but pretty much for every side of their life. and defunding unrwa is not just about palestinians in gaza. this is going to have an impact on palestinians in lebanon, jordan and syria. and on the broader -- again, security stability of the region. so we can push for humanitarian aid as much as we want, but that will not make -- i mean, it will not be provided in the way it needs to be provided to the palestinians in gaza. unrwa is the one organization that can get this aid and get it fast. it has the infrastructure, it

has been working with palestinians for decades. so it doesn't make sense to me. and the alleged employees that took part in the horrific october 7 attack have already been laid off. even without seeing what the evidence was. i think antony blinken himself has not seen the evidence against these. so we again need to put things in a different perspective in terms of what does bringing increasing humanitarian aid to gaza mean and how do we really get it to the gazans. >> we have to leave it there. appreciate your analysis. thank you so much. >> thank you. here in the u.s. president biden has clinched a land side victory in south carolina, first official democratic primary leading to the election in

november. cnn is projecting he crushed his two opponents with more than 96% of the vote. and he will pick up all of the state's 55 5 delegates. eva mckend reports the state's black voters once against played a crucial role. >> reporter: though the results of the primary contest not surprising, this state still hugely consequential for president biden. it was south carolina and black voters in this state that brought his campaign back to life in 2020. that is why he pushed so hard for this state to hold the first in the nation primary. and when you speak to black voters across the state, reviews are mixed. some are really excited about biden, they still give him a lot of credibility for being barack obama's vice president. others have economic anxieties and feel as though routinely voting for democrats, they have very little to show for that. and then you have pragmatic

voters, people who are so concerned about former president trump returning to the white house, they think voting for biden is a safe bet. listen, democrats here, they say that they are excited about the black turnout, that they were able to get to rural parts of the state like never before via bus tours and other mechanisms. and they say it will be mirrored across the country. eva mckend, cnn, south carolina. and experts say this year's election is likely to be a rematch between president biden and former president trump. with yet another referendum on trump than biden and his policies. here is political analyst ron brow brownstein. >> mobilization for the democratic side is really much more trump than biden. trump voters are enthusiastic about trump. some biden voters are

enthusiastic about biden, but in polling, most of them say that they are voting to prevent trump from imposing his vision of what america should be and biden has struggled with young voters from the outset, from the 2020 primaries, they were never enthusiastic about him. they have been hit hard in this economy. but trump on issues like inclusion of lgbtq people, abortion rights, democracy, climate, biden does need to do better than young people than he is doing today. the gaza war, israel war with hamas is a particular problem with that cohort of younger voters. but he has a lot of ammunition to use ultimately in that many of these voters, particularly younger women voters, are deeply hostile to trump and what he stands for. i will say it is likely that if

biden wins a second term, it is more likely to be because he improves among older voters where he is running relatively better than he did in 2020 than among younger voters where he faces a risk of something like 2016, not necessarily voting for trump, but a significant percentage peeling off, splintering off to vote for various third party options. >> and when we come back, millions in california brace for heavy rains and severe flooding. how communities are preparing to weather the storm. plus deadly wildfires are burning across chile. officials are sounding the alarm telling residents to flee to safety. stay with us.

millions of people in california can expect heavy rain, severe storms and life-threatening flooding as another atmospheric river moves in as we speak. millions of sandbags are available and rescue equipment has been prepped. a number of places have issued evacuation orders. there is a sis a risk of mudslid debris floes. several schools have already canceled classes for monday. some are bracing for the worst

and hoping for the best. >> everything i've read has us getting 5, 6, 7 inches which is essentially six months worth of rain in about three days. so should be doozy. >> hopefully a fast moving one, so won't saturate us too much. but hopefully not. >> lisa raffa has the latest. >> dangerous and life-threatening, those are the words that the national weather service is using to describe the flood event that will unfold sunday and monday in california. we now have a level four out of four, high risk of excessive flooding for parts of southern california. and that is incredibly rare not just for california but really for the u.s. when you get that high risk. that is issued fewer than 4% of the days that we have the flooding risk issued, but it is responsible for 80% of our flood damage across the u.s. and nearly 40% of flood-related deaths. so you really can't take these

words lightly. dangerous and life-threatening are the words to describe what can unfold. there is a flood watch from sacramento down to san diego for 3 to 6 inches of rain. and you can see why, there is the moisture plume that just sits over california over the next couple of days, that is part of the problem is it will sit and it will stall. and it is also fueled by really warm ocean temperatures. those ocean temperatures are 1 to 3 degrees above average right now and it can really pump that sponge even more. so dangerous and life-threatening is really on the table. and we're talking about flooding at rivers and urban, mud and debris floe could cause landslides, downed trees and power lines can also be an issue especially where you are saturated from all the rain you've got the last couple of days. and adding insult to injury, the storm is not just about water, but also wind. we have high wind warnings in

febts where we can see gusts 65, 70 and even 80-mile-per-hour possible. and something to really watch out for especially as the ground is so saturated, you can see some of the colors pop up, some of the wind gusts, over 40 to 50 miles per hour. here is that storm hitting land by sunday moerng. the heaviest rain on goes north and then slings into southern california as we go into the afternoon and evening hours. l.a. getting the brunt as the grammys will be going on. we'll find some of the heavy rain continuing to pile in monday and tuesday as the fire hose just continues to sit there. so again, all the yellow, widespread, 3 to 6 inches of rain, some of the reds showing locally higher amounts. and in the mountains, we're look at several feet of snow. chile's health ministry has issued a special alert as blazes

continue to burn. more than 50 people have died and more than 1,000 homes damaged by wildfires in the country. you can see beachgoers stare in wonder at the ominous skies. one man is being detained by police in connection to a fire he started while welding. no one was hurt in that incident. but listen to this heartstopping video, a driver driving through the flames while trying to keep his passengers calm. listen. [ speaking in a non-english language ]

>> officials tell cnn the death toll likely to rise. nearly 400 residents are reported missing in one coastal city, more than 90 fires are burns affecting more than 100,000 acres. just ahead, russian police take journalists into custody. we'll have the details. please stay with us. ed

welcome back to all of you watching us in the united states, canada and around the world.

i'm kind brum brunhuber. u.s. officials say they hit 36 targets at 13 locations in yemen, those targets were facilities in attacks on international shipping. pentagon correspondent oren lieberman has more on the attacks in yemen. >> reporter: for the third time in recent weeks, the u.s. and uk carried out joints strikes against houthi targets in yemen, this time the coalition airstrikes targeted 36 targets across 13 different locations in yemen as the u.s. and uk backed by coalition of australia, bahrain,ada and new zealand try to disrupt the group targeting the shipping lanes. it was u.s. faa team fighter jets taking over and as well as two destroyers launching cruise missiles that took part in the strikes. the u.s. went after underground storage facilities, command and

control, missile systems, drone storage and operation sites, radars and helicopters of the houthis. in that target list you see the effort of the u.s. to try to disrupt the abilities of the houthis to continue to attack commercial vessels as well as u.s. warships. in the statement from the joint coalition, they also specifically mention a january 27th attack when the houthis successfully hit the marshall islands flagged oil tanker. worth pointing out because the ship had issued a distress call because it was burning forcing aa aist u.s. destroyer er respond others. and so that is why they see it so important to respond to the houthis and let them know if the attacks continue on international shipping, so too will the u.s. and uk strikes on houthi targets again that attempt to throw off or disrupt their ability to continue these attacks despite these latest u.s. strikes, houthis promise

the attacks will continue. oren lieberman, cnn in the pentagon. iran's foreign minister reportedly told the u.n. that these strikes make it difficult to reach a political solution in the region. according to state run media, he is slamming the u.s. for trying to resolve issues by force. russia also requesteden a urgent u.n. security council meeting which is happening monday. russian ministry of foreign affairs says the united states is purposefully trying to plunge the largest countries in the region into conflict. russian officials say at least 28 people were killed after a strike on a building near the frontlines in eastern ukraine. moscow claims ukraine was targeting a bakery when it hit a two story building in a town occupied by russian forces. cnn can't verify these claims and kyiv hasn't made a comment on the incident.

the town was captured by russian forces in july 2022, it was one of moscow's last conquests before ukraine success if i summer counteroffensive in the kharkiv region. meanwhile russian official says a massive fire broke out at an oil refinery in volgograd. russia's military says the fire was contained without casualties. we're hearing reports that journalists were detained after russian police cracked down on a protest at vladimir putin's election headquarters. one russian source said authorities pulled men from the crowd of protestors in moscow, seven journalists were taken to one police station, at least 27 other people were driven to another station, but only one of them was an actual protestor. a source says one state media employee has been released. the protest was part of a growing movement of women demanding their husbands and sons be brought home from the war. jill dougherty spoke about the

challenges these demonstrations pose for vladimir putin. >> i think a lot of it is the kremlin's dilemma, what do they do with these women. because, you know, they are really not political per se, they are grass roots, not very well organized. and face it, if you had pictures of women being hauled off and hit with batons, it would be a very bad look for the kremlin. so end to end, these are mothers and girlfriends, spouses of people who are serving in this -- as putin calls it, the special military operation. so they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. and the message is not, you know, we hate the war. they don't even call it a war. so would they want is they want their husbands and sons, et cetera, back. and so how do you have as a -- how does the kremlin fight against that. it is virtually impossible in kind of a pr would i.

and in a society way in russia. politician who dubbed himself the world's coolest dictator is expected to cruise reese to re-election in el salvador. he won praise for the crackdown on the gang violence, but critics say price for that is loss of many freedoms and abuse of human rights. >> reporter: jacqueline breaks down in tears when she talks about her niece, just 20 years old when she was murdered in the streets. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> reporter: the pain still fresh seven years after she was killed. back then el salvador was close to being a failed state with highest murder rate in the world, it was gangs like ms-13

who set the rules. to this day she doesn't know who killed her niece. but she's sure on who turned the tide on crime. in 2019, the president quickly tied his name to a security crackdown that sent tens of thousands to jail and effectively taking the gangs off the street. a state of emergency was declared in 2022 granting the government exceptional powers to deploy the army and allowing the police to detain any citizen without charge for up to 15 days without civil rights such as due process. the government claims el salvador is finally safe and the president is cruising to re-election. but his critics accuse him of mass in-discriminate detentions and even torture. we spoke with a woman who was considered november 11, 2022.

the police claim she was part of a gang. she denies the crime and says she never saw a judge. six months later, she was found not guilty and released, but she says she was put through inhumane conditions inside the prison. we're hiding her identity for security reasons. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> reporter: the government admits that thousand of innocent people may have been imprisoned by mistake, but doubles down on the crackdown and points to the deaths of policemen in the line of service as a reason to carry on. neither human rights watch nor other ngos will say anything about the lives of our heros or families who are now hopeless without them. leaving the door wide open on the tight line between security and individual freedoms.

pozstefano pozzebon, cnn. for the first time ever in northern ireland, nationalist politician is the first minister. michelle o'neill was worn in on saturday marking a seismic shift in northern island's history. her party once considered the political arm of the irish republican army during the period called the troubles. now she will share power with the unionist deputy first min minister. they are pledging to work together regardless of partly affiliation, religion or background. coming up, it appears that plastic waste is everywhere, even in places where humans don't normally live. like antarctica. we'll show you what scientists are finding in those once pristine waters. stay with us.

no matter how pristine the landscape, it seems no place on earth is safe from pollution. scientists are looking for and

finding evidence of micro he plastics in one of the world's most remote places, antarctica. >> reporter: a continent with almost no humans, this man hunts for manmade pollutant, namely micro plastics, which have i infiltrated what should be one of the best protected on earth. >> we're polluting the water, a continent that at this moment we call the heart of the planet. we're contaminating it with micro plastics. >> reporter: the marine biologist uses a net looking for particles not even 5 millimeters in size. they form when plastic breaks down including synthetic car tires, textiles or other consumer products, things we'd hope not to see in our ocean ors food. but it might be inevitable. the u.n. says we pru more than 430 million tons every year. with an estimated 200 million

tons in our oceans right now. new zealand researchers first found micro plastics in the an arctic snow in 2019. and now this team is checking for more. >> translator: micro plastics themselves are a pollutant, it is a material not natural. the sea does not produce plastic. plastic is produced by human beings. if we find it here, it is because somehow in whatever form it arrived here. >> reporter: researchers say these tiny pollutants could be traveling via ocean currents. the atmosphere even animal feces. and krill can mistake it for their typical meal of phytoplankton. h even whales could eat them and eventually affect their lungs and reproductive systems, even their ability to swim. even only adding issues as the

world a grapples with climate change. >> translator: the micro plastics we have today may not be from our generation, but from generations ago. maybe we are leaving another problem for the generations to come. >> reporter: the team who work an wood a columbian navy vessel are not the only ones hunting down these dangers. last month the international atomic agency joined forces with argentina launching an investigation into antarctica's micro plastic hes. the agency says these pollutants could damage ice and trap heat causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. now the scientific expeditions will provide a thermometer reading of just how dire the world's micro plastics problem really is. isabel rosales, cnn. still ahead, greatest football player of his generation doesn't even have to step on the pitch to make his fans go wild. we'll show you why hong kong is

in the grip of messi mania. stay with us.

soccer fans in hong kong are

going crazy over the presence of world cup champion hes lionel m. the superstar and his inter miami squad traveled for a friendly. it is 3-1 and messi hasn't even played. as kristie lu stout report, still a day that fans will remember for years. >> reporter: messi mania is sweeping hang congress, tens of thousands of fans clamoring to see the argentine football legend and superstar here at hong kong stadium play with his team inter miami in a preseason friendly against honkg kong. david beckham is also here adding additional star power to the proceedings. this is a sold out match. tickets sold out withinen would hour of going on sale just over a week ago. and there is 40,000 seats in the stadium all sold to the fans. and we spoke to one lucky fan. >> happy to see him obviously.

this is great for hong kong and all the fans. all arrgentina supports and the new inter miami supporters. it is great. he hasn't been here since 2014 and he came as a runner up and now world champion. >> reporter: and we spoke to a footballer who was selected to be on the pitch with lionel messi and he called it a dream encounter. he said i was so surprised to get into the final squad, i think it is a dream come true playing with the g.o.a.t., messi is something that i never imagined in my life. hong kong authorities are hoping that this event can help turn hong kong into a hub for a major event. they call this something like the mega event economy hoping that big events like the hong kong 7s, like messi in hong kong, would be able to drive in more tourism and as well as bring up more up side to the hong kong economy.

but when you talk to the fans here, they are totally excited right now. this is not about the economy, this is all about the beautiful game and a chance to see their hero here in hong kong. kristie lu stout, cnn, outside hong kong stadium. and sticking with soccer, there are reports that french superstar kylian mbappe will join madrid once his contract ends. espn says mbappe has not informed either team of his decision but expected to make the announcement next week. just hours away from the grammys. and putting that show on air is often an act of faith that everything will go according to plan or at least will are memo memorable. their executive producer told us to expect the unexpected. >> reporter: music's biggest night is one big concert. fun for us -- >> never know what will happen on a live show.

>> reporter: -- nail biting for the executive producer. >> i always say doing these shows is like running off a cliff and just like hoping that the parachute opens. are t >> reporter: the opening act stuck in traffic nearly throwing off the whole show. >> and then he is actually pulling his jacket as he begins because he literally -- somebody drove down the traffic in a golf cart, grabbed bad bunny and he got there with sendcond to go. >> reporter: this year expect billy joel and -- >> first time being on the grammys. >> reporter: and in a grammy first, u2 will perform and present an award from the sphere in las vegas. and taylor swift could set a grammy record. but will we see her on stage. >> taylor one is tricky because she has a show in japan a few days later. only three artists in the world have won album of the year three

times. stevie wonder, frank sinatra and taylor. so if she was to win this year's album, first time anyone has ever won four and she'll be a big part of it as she always is dancing and the audience having a great time. >> reporter: a moving 16 minute in memoriam planned honoring legends like tina turner, tony fwhent a bennett and sinead o'connor. and expect surpriseses is well like the awkward ben shot. >> and i have all 20 scam are as where i sit. and they were up dancing having the time of their lives. just unluckiy for them. >> reporter: and prepare to be shocked by the final prersenter. >> they are a global icon and i think jaws will drop, people will be on their feet. only condition they gave, that it was a surprise. and that wraps this hour of
