confused and in some cases trying to navigate their future fertility on something where timing is everything growing frustration this morning across alabama as more patients in the middle of fertility treatments are learning their doctors are holding off on ivf, worried they could get sued because of a controversial new court ruling some couples even making a heal >> difficult decision to leave the state. >> we found a clinic that will help us in texas. >> reporter: after three miscarriages, her doctors recommended she have her embryos genetically tested to boost her chance of a healthy pregnancy. >> i already invested too much time and energy. >> but what happens to embryos found with genetic abnormalities? it all has fertility clinics on edge after the alabama supreme court found frozen embryos no different than children,

potentially putting clinics on the hook legally for their survival. >> as soon as i saw the number pop up on my phone, i knew it wasn't going to be good news. >> reporter: after spending nearly $250,000 on fertility treatments and a surrogate, they were devastated to known their fertility clinic not only canceled their embryo implantation this week but said their clinic would not give them their embryos to use outside the state. >> even though these are apparently my children, i don't have access to them. >> reporter: meanwhile alabama supreme court chief justice tom parker under scrutiny for invoking god in the court decision, creating a politically perilous issue in an election year nikki haley trying to clarify where she stands. >> we don't want fertility

treatments to shut down. >> well, laura, we are seeing this political scramble to protect ivf now in alabama these clinics are real limbo. what's next? >> and it is a bipartisan effort at least in alabama, you have democrats and republicans saying this is not what the voters want this court ruling is out of step with what they're hearing from their constituencies, so they're looking for ways to try to protect ivf and make it clear that a embryo should not have the same legal protections other states are trying to copy cat what alabama is doing, and it'll be interesting after seeing the blowback here in alabama. >> i mean, if you have ever been through ivf, if you are in that moment, it is a once in a lifetime people pour their whole life savings into having these fertility treatments and it is not the kind of thing you can pause. >> that's why these women are taking matters into their own hands. >> thank you we will take a closer look at

what it means for the future of fertility treatments nationwide this morning. let's move to the presidential race. it is the eve of the republican primary in south carolina, and while all signs point to another decisive victory for donald trump, his lone rival, nikki haley, is sharpening her attacks to try to close that gap garrett haake joins us from charleston with the latest good morning. >> reporter: good morning, yeah. we are into the final sprint here where republican voters soon have to choose between their former governor and a former president who has been steamrolling his way through a third republican nomination. this morning nikki haley running hard in her home state. >> this is the time south carolina can really step up and show the direction that we want our country to go in. >> reporter: but she's also running out of time to catch front runner donald trump before saturday's primary. >> all he's doing is talking

about himself. and that's the problem if it's not about him, it's about the american people. >> reporter: recent polls have haley trailing the former president by nearly 30 points. performing far better than mr. trump against president biden in the general election this fall, a point she continues to pound home on the campaign trail. >> i defeat joe biden by 18 points in that marquette poll. that's bigger than the presidency that's house that's senate. that's governorships that's everything. >> reporter: mr. trump dismissing haley's candidacy in a radio interview. >> i don't care at this point if she stays in she's getting very few votes. >> reporter: overnight, lashing out at her at a christian media convention >> it looks like she's going to lose by 25 or 30 points. that's a lot she's governor, but people don't like her too much. she's hurting the party, but i don't care let her run. >> reporter: voters left to choose between two candidates who have each never lost a race in south carolina. when you put nikki haley's record up against trump's what

do you see >> i don't think she did as much for south carolina as trump did and especially in our afro-american community. >> reporter: president biden fund-raising on the west coast thursday, contrasting with his once and now possibly future opponent, telling donors, quote, i'm not the gift of all presidents, but i'm sure as hell better than the last guy the pace picks up even further michigan voting the following tuesday. the week after that super tuesday with more than a dozen states voting all across the country. the polling there shows donald trump leads in all of those super tuesday states hoda? >> garrett haake for us there in charleston, north carolina. you can count on primary results on sunday morning. just check your local listings. overseas already. high tensions mounting between the u.s. and russia this morning over vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine, which is about to

enter its third year and the death of putin's critic alexei navalny. the new action being taken by the white house this morning. but first let's get to richard engel. he is in ukraine for us this morning. richard, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. it has been almost exactly two years since russian troops invaded ukraine. these are just some of the thousands of rockets and missiles that russia has fired since then and is still firing in this country as ukraine now finds itself in a different position as american support is becoming less reliable. while in russia, officials say that alexei navalny's cause of death was natural causes. the mother of russian opposition leader alexei navalny has finally seen her son's body at a morgue near the russian prison where he died. but, she says, authorities won't release his remains unless he's

buried in secret. she posted her response for the world to see, saying, they are blackmailing me. they are setting conditions where, when and how my son should be buried. that is illegal. hundreds of navalny supporters have been arrested for honoring his legacy. and it seems russia doesn't want a navalny funeral to become a rally or, worse, a protest against president vladimir putin, especially now while he's trying to show strength ahead of elections next month. he's been shown on russian tv in trucks and in a modernized version of a cold car long-range nuclear bomber, touting it as easier to control and very reliable. the u.s. is expected to announce new sanctions against russia today. but putin appears unconcerned. his main priority conquering ukraine is finally making progress as promised american aid and weapons are held up by

congress. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy overnight again making a case for more aid. >> will ukrainians survive without congress support? of course. but not all of us. >> reporter: we went to the front, driving to the town where russian troops are closing in. without american weapons, the town could be the next to fall. and this is the town hall that was destroyed by russian strikes. on the wall, ukrainian troops left a message. we are not asking for too much. we just need artillery shells and aviation. the rest we do ourselves. >> reporter: the acting mayor says with the town in ruins, nearly everyone is left. are people angry with the united states? we just don't understand how someone can say that we are your

support, you can count on our shoulder and at the very same moment we don't feel the shoulder of support, he says. after the loss, are russian troops heading this way, heading for your town? he says, i think they are. 100%. a congressional delegation of five american senators, all democrats, led by chuck schumer is in ukraine in a renewed effort to get the aid flowing. savannah. >> richard engel, thank you. we're joined by peter alexander. the president met with navalny's family members. tell me how that meeting came about? >> the president was traveling for fund-raising. they had a chance to meet with the widow and their daughter who is a student at stanford university in the san francisco bay area. the president in that private visit had a chance to thank

them, praise them for the incredible courage, as he described it and described the new sanctions that he's going to be imposing today. >> one of the questions always with these sanctions is are they going to have any teeth that will bite? because russia has been able to evade so many of them. >> i spoke to a national security official overnight that basically said to me that these likely will not have any bite in the near term, but over time could zap russia's capabilities. the president announcing 500 plus new targets for these sanctions in russia. they will target those related to the imprisonment of alexei navalny, that brutal prison camp in siberia, the presidential sector, the military sector. they will try to target the oil. iran will also be sanctioned here because the u.s. has major concerns that they will provide new ballistic missiles going forward to russia to help them. the president privately just

this week described vladimir putin at one of those fundraisers in california as, in his words, what was it, a crazy s.o.b., as he said it. he's really been upset about this. but really there is no way to replace the aid money that ukraine needs right now. alexei navalny obviously has lost. we heard from from volodymyr zelenskyy saying his forces this week. >> the aid package held up in the house. >> republicans largely holding it up right now. >> peter, thank you for the update. at&t users and federal investigators are trying to process that wake-up call.

that nationwide hours long cell service outage that caused a host of disruptions. brian cheung is back with an update for us. >> good morning, hoda. this was a massive outage that left families unable to contact each other and emergency services scrambling to offer alternative ways to contact. it is back up and running for its over 241 million connected devices. we're learning new details on what may have led to the issue. 24 hours ago, users on one of the country's largest mobile networks were left unable to make basic calls or ft unable to make basic calls or send texts. >> what's going on >> i want to talk to the ceo i'm so sick of y'all. >> reporter: at&t saying the 12-hour issue was caused by the application of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyberattack. the company added it is further investigating the matter several agencies are taking a look, too, including homeland security, the federal

communications commission and the fbi. >> the fbi will be looking for any sort of criminal activity. however, 99.9% of the time technical outages of this nature, whether it is the power company, a telecommunications company or the bank are your network. >> reporter: hours later, the count on reported problems had surged to over 70,000 as users try to troubleshoot their phones. >> that's the at&t line that says emergency calls only and there is no service. >> reporter: emergency services advising people to use land lines or even call boxes as work-arounds around 3:00 p.m. thursday, at&t announced it had restored wireless service to customers. that was too late for this woman in south carolina who had no choice but to close her front

for the day. >> thursday is a big day for me. i lost a lot of money. >> reporter: she uses at&t to take the 20% of orders that come by phone and uses a hot spot to process the card terminal she needs to process sales now fowler says she's done are you thinking this is crazy enough, i might switch >> oh, a switch is definitely going to take place. >> reporter: and a tip for those of you whose phones were stuck on s.o.s. mode when that happens, you can make an emergency call and ping your location on emergency services on iphones they can contact a have to set up. it's a good reminder if that situation from loved one or family member designated as an emergency contact, which you have to set up it is a good reminder if that situation from yesterday ever happens again. >> thank you. thank you. let us turn to the weather now al is off, so mr. bill karins is paying us a visit. >> you know when the nice weather is coming because you have to take the long weekend. yeah, first we have to get there. today we're dealing with a

rainy, foggy start for the ohio valley and east coast. greenville, south carolina it is raining hard in virginia beach. there is a little bit of snow and a little freezing rain from overnight. elevated services, western mass into areas of maine. this will be in and out in a hurry. as we go throughout the day, it warms up and won't be a problem. a few strong storms this afternoon. but look at the middle of the country and for our friends in california that have been through too much things are finally beginning to improve for you. that's a look at our national forecast we will get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. who's winning? no idea. real milk. real delicious. and don't forget to try some delicious, creamy lactaid ice cream. what's that mabel?

"overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate." "known for her grilling of corporate executives." with "deep policy knowledge." katie porter's housing plan has "bipartisan-friendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down." and the chronicle praises "her ideas to end soft corruption in politics." let's shake up the senate. with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

coming up, have you been spotting these things? flip phones, ipods, walkmans, they're everywhere you look. >> you can travel back in time vintage tech is suddenly all the rage if you are a hoarder, cash in on the trend. but, first, your local news. rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective

>> okay. the hottest time to buy is just around the corner, the spring market what do shoppers and sellers need to know to navigate it? christine romans is here with the answer are you expecting a robust spring market? >> i think it was a deep freeze last year. you had the slowest amount of home sales since 1995. i think you will see a thaw. we saw home sales rise in january. you are still seeing prices rise we are expecting that might shake out this spring. a couple of things to keep in mind a well-priced home, those are . going fast overpriced homes are not anymore. zillow says 1 in 5 sellers are cutting prices right now to move a house. so finally for home buyers, there might be some room for you this year. >> i feel like if you don't act quickly, the house goes like that. >> as you know, you have got to be ready get your loan preapproved.

go to annualcreditreport.com and make sure your credit is in good shape and you don't have any surprises. be ready to shop early because everyone who has been frozen out the last couple of years and who wants to move, there is pent-up demand for people to move. maybe they have to move for a job and they're frozen out i think you will see people trying to shop out there this year and try to get traction in the family market. >> i have family members trying to hold out for better rates. >> yeah. the rate thing is a real problem. if you are holding out for 3% or 4%, you need to move if you need to move for your family. i wouldn't wait for the rates. and, you know, maybe you could refinance next year. you got to do the math because you pay closing costs twice. if you think you will refinance this fall, you will pay a bunch of fees. don't bet on 3% to 4% right now. the mortgage rate right now is at 7%. you ask me so much about rates right now they're just stuck they're just stuck there >> so don't wait >> i mean, look, a higher mortgage rate at 7% is a lot

less house to afford than 3% or 4% but, you know, these rates -- and i do think they have been high for long enough that people are starting to make decisions on their life, not based on the mortgage rate. there is an interesting thing happening with older homeowners, too. they have record high stock prices in their 401(k)s and iras some of them are starting to say, i have money here they have a little cushion. >> you need to be well priced. >> what if you do want to sell >> you need to be well priced. look, use a broker that really knows your neighborhood so you price the house right. that's really important here also, don't bet on the bidding wars of days past. in some neighborhoods there are still some bidding wars. remember when people would go in there, 400 people lined up outside and the house would go for cash, you know, 20% over i think those days might be over that was 2020, 2021, 2022 was a deep freeze. 2023 a deep freeze now i think you are going to see a thaw and we will get to a more

normal housing market for the spring season. fingers crossed. >> happy weekend, christine. all right. let us get a check of the weather. >> are you guys going to be upset if i say winter is over? >> no. >> you will be happy about that? >> who says one more winter? >> not many of us. we'll a small group. but this is getting scary. we have six days left in february, and it is incredibly warm people are sending pictures of flowers sprouting all over the place. today it's 73 in dallas. that will be the coolest day you will have for the next week. it's insane. very warm in the middle of the country. it only gets warmer as we go through your weekend we get 60s all the way up to south dakota in february

by the time we get towards monday, widespread record heat minneapolis will be in the mid-60s by the time we get to monday a lot of this warm air does head to the east. i know better than to cancel winter before we get to march good friday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we're also going to be warming up here in the bay area, with our temperatures in the upper 60s. it won't be clear and sunny. we will see a mix of sun and clouds today, but a lot clearer tomorrow as our high temperatures head for the low 70s. then on sunday, an increase in clouds with a spotty afternoon chance of showers. the chance of rain continues into monday, and it will be much cooler through the middle of for those of us that still love winter, i'm here for you. >> all right, bill. >> thank you. >> bun guy at this table just ahead, i have a fun morning boost.

[mind blown explosion noise] we are back at 8:15 with a closer look at that unprecedented court decision in alabama, declaring frozen embryos are children. >> with more medical facilities in that state halting ivf treatments, people are asking how that might affect their family planning. >> good morning, guys. you know that for some families, there comes a point when ivf is the only option for them to conceive and treatment can take a tremendous physical and financial toll on those families the potentially devastating consequences are being felt far beyond alabama state lines across the country, growing concerns and questions are now mounting, with many wondering how alabama's ruling on frozen embryos and ivf could have an impact on other states. >> i can't imagine the feeling that the families in alabama are

going through right now. it's terrifying. >> reporter: julie and her husband are looking forward to having a second child, a younger sibling to their daughter who was born during ivf. when you began the ivf process, could you even have imagined this would be a conversation you >> i never in a million years would have imagined that we would have been -- he would be here right now. >> reporter: while they currently live in pennsylvania, julie's husband is on active duty in the army in july, they could end up in any state. >> ultimately, it is up to the army wherever they send us so we pay attention, you know, to, you know, rulings like this and legislation and bills because it impacts us and it matters. >> reporter: julie and her husband are concerned, and they're not alone. now that alabama state supreme court has ruled that frozen embryos qualify as children,

many patients and doctors will be impacted and could face legal repercussions. >> we're really complicated organisms and things could go wrong. the physicians and clinic staff couldn't overcome mother nature and keep them alive, that's really, really scary. >> reporter: there are 1,400 ivf cycles in alabama each year. nationwide over 400,000. resulting in 90,000 babies born. abortion restrictions in 15 states, according to planned parenthood. other states beyond alabama issues similar rulings or each year from ivf but in the wake of overturning roe in 2022, abortion restrictions in 15 states, according to planned parenthood. other states beyond alabama issues similar rulings or legislation and leaving clinics vulnerable to lawsuits over frozen embryos and limiting

fertility treatment. does this ruling, even though it is in a state you don't live, put more pressure on a time line for you to make a determination of when you will pursue your next round of ivf? >> i definitely think that it's going to add that pressure for sure because of the uncertainty in whether it's going to put things at jeopardy in the near future or, you know, a year from now. i have to be prepared that it could happen tomorrow. >> the emotional cost of the situation is so difficult for families to put words to but we can quantify the financial cost to some extent. a single ivf cycle can cost up to $30,000 it is another $10,000 to freeze embryos. critics of alabama's court rules say now liability costs could skyrocket. guys, that would make fertility treatment prices prohibitive for families. >> yeah. it is one of those moments right now it is confined to alabama. but the question is what are the legal ramifications, if any? and it has people really nervous.

>> when you saw what happened after roe v. wade was overturned and how quickly states reacted there, when i asked her about her own time line, that's exactly what she pointed to. we can see that ripple effect so quickly. >> thank you. >> here is what you need to know as you head out the door grab the up bella in the southeast, especially south carolina, georgia coastline. we got foggy weather in the ohio valley give yourself extra time to 2 good friday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are starting out with clouds across the bay area, and we'll see more clouds today. but it will still be warming up. we're headed for the upper 60s and more sunshine in tomorrow's forecast as some of our inland areas reach into the low 70s.

welcome back february is american heart month, and we have a fascinating new story for our heart health series. >> well, heart disease is the leading cause of death in america. but now medical researchers are using artificial intelligence, ai, and it could help millions of americans. >> morgan radford joins us with more on that. >> doctors have been using artificial intelligence for months it is really a preview of something every doctor's office in america will likely have in the next few years so they took us behind the scenes to show us exactly how it works, pairing ai with an electrocardiogram test doctors say ai is now giving them super powers with the ability to screen for deadly heart conditions and catch

things they may miss. >> they had done echocardiograms and things like that, and they were always clean. >> reporter: until he visited the mayo clinic three years ago when he signed up for a separate research project on a whim but in the process -- >> i did have an a fib i actually had it. >> reporter: atrial fibrillation can lead to stroke or even death, a condition they were only able to find with the help of artificial intelligence. >> ai is giving our tools super powers. >> reporter: super powers that boost old school tests like the electrocardiogram or ecg all of these wires get taped to your chest and then it sends electrical signals to your heart to this. ai then analyzes all of this data and shows us conditions that perhaps even doctors can miss. >> it is very, very good at this

deep pattern recognition. >> reporter: so it is finding the details. >> it is finding incredible detail. >> reporter: the ai uses data across thousands of tests to detect subtle patterns that a doctor looking at a single test may not be able to catch like a weak heart pump, irregular rhythm and nearly a dozen other heart conditions that could lead to sudden cardiac arrest. >> so all of these treatments that are available are improved if we can detect conditions sooner. >> reporter: one clinical trial finding ai increased the diagnosis of a weak heart pump by 32% and new research suggests it can detect fatal heart conditions in at risk groups from student athletes to pregnant women so who has this technology right now? >> we have been using it in our practice at the mayo clinic for two and a half to three years. i expect it to be available globely in the next two years or so. >> reporter: and they're making it accessible sooner with special ai stethoscopes like

these that doctors can carry with them everywhere so we decided to try one out. >> so i will just put it on your chest like so. >> reporter: are we listening to my heart >> good news your heart pump strength is normal normally to identify that, we would need an imaging study, an echocardiogram, a ct scan or mri scan. >> reporter: at the end of the day, it sounds like this could be a game changer. >> it is changing how we practice medicine. >> reporter: for people like peter, after his diagnosis, he was put on blood thinners and other medication. >> do you think this medication saved your life? >> yes i live 20 miles out of town. so for me to get into the er, right there it is a half hour trip you know, so would i survive something like that? probably not so this worked out well for me

>> reporter: and just think of all the people, especially in places like rural communities who would benefit from this. pretty soon researchers say you can apply this to data coming from your smart watch. so they're doing studies as we speak, using ai to read the heart monitoring data from your apple watch to see if we could screen for the serious conditions we talked about without you ever leaving home. >> wow just think that ai could get a closer look than your own doctor is incredible. >> think of how much money you would save, not having to start with an expensive scan. >> that's great. >> thank you. >> yeah, morgan. thank you. well, coming up next, good news if you have put off booking your spring break vacations. it is not too late vicky nguyen will tell us where you can find the best last-minute deals.
