so-called establishment candidates. namely jeb bush, chris christie, and john kasich. all governors. they really piled on to marco rubio at the most recent republican debate. they've done some of the campaign trail as well. chris christie the most vocal saying that the young senator from florida is not experienced enough to hold the presidency. whether or not christie really benefits from that or whether it just means a bump for the other candidates generally remains to be seen. now marco rubio is doing well here in the polls. he has not had as much of a presence in new hampshire over months and months like the governors have. the governors have invested a lot of time and effort here. it's important that it pays off, and they say somewhere in that second tier tomorrow as voters head to the polls. >> what are the candidates doing today? >> well, they're out stumping for votes. you can tell it is snowing here. there is expected to be a bit of

accumulation. it may cause campaigns to have to do changing around of their schedules. but people in new hampshire are used to the snow. they plan to get out and vote tomorrow, and so far the folks do not seem phased by this. it's important to seal the deal and appeal to undecided voters and undeclared voters. in the primary tomorrow people who are not loyal to one party can vote in either one. they're trying to generate enthusiasm. donald trump was on the stump today, and he's trying to talk about this issue of migrants, something that he has gotten into hot water on as he has talked for example, not allowing any muslims into america. listen to what he has to say. >> migration is a horrible thing. we all have a heart. we see what is going on. we can't afford to take our chances. we see two radicalized people in california two months ago, three months ago. we are not--we're going to be very tough at the borders.

we're going to have to be. if we're not, we're just not smart people. >> a lot of candidates trying to make personal appeals to folks in new hampshire. very aware of the fact that they have to be able to get a good turn out tomorrow, richelle. >> libby casey, thank you. as libby just mentioned, a big storm in new hampshire could make it difficult for some voters to get to the polls. forecasters are expecting about three inches of know across the state and into the early morning hours tomorrow. up to eight inches may fall along the coast. strong wind gusts are also expected. the u.n. security council is threatening deeper sanctions against north korea for launching a languag long range rocket into space. it has been called a clear threat to international peace and security. the u.s. is worried that it is covering for testing of long range missiles. north korea said the launch was

for peaceful purposes. the national security correspondent jamie mcintyre is live for us at the pentagon. give us the latest of what defense officials are saying about the recent provocation from pyongyang. >> richelle, as they analyst this launch of a three-stage rocket saturday night, sunday morning into north korea, the pentagon is saying essentially it was a flop in terms of launching a satellite in orbit. it did put a piece of equipment in orbit, but it appears to be tumbling out of control, not functioning. by the way, it orbited the super bowl stadium later in the game. but the missiles launch was a success. north korea for the second time was able to launch a thre three-stage rocket that can separate and put something into space. that's the same ballistic

technology that north korea could use to deliver a nuclear weapon to the united states. what is the u.s. doing about it? we're talking about sanctions which has had no affect on north korea. but the other thing they're talking about is beefing up weapons long the korean peninsula. >> i spoke with president xi of china just a few days before the launch about the need to tighten the noose on them, but we're also consulting with the south koreans for the first time about more movies capabilities to prevent any possibility that north korea could reach u.n. >> so what the president is talking about there is deployment of what is called a tad mistles systems, missiles that are aimed at bringing down

missiles in the mid-flight stage. those consultations could wrap up quickly. i'm told that we could see the deployment of those missiles to south korea within a matter of weeks. >> help us understand the capability of this touchdown system. >> you probably heard about patriot missiles, the ones that are used in what is called the terminal phase. when an incoming rocket or missiles is coming in, you try to shoot it down as it comes in. these that had thad missiles hit the missiles in the blue stage. when you look at the flight path of how north korea tested this missile. it went over the yellow sea. it did pass near okinawa. one of the stages separated to the east of the philippines. that is a trajectory that did not threaten the united states. if it had gone towards the united states the u.s. has

ground intercepter missiles in alaska, and it could have tried to shoot the missiles down. what this system would do is you would not have to wait until the missiles got all the way to threaten the united states. if it looked like it was on trajectory to threaten the u.s. or allies, the u.s. would have the capability of shooting the missile down right away. those are the defenses that you'll see deployed really in short order here. >> jamie mcintyre. thank you. italy's president is kicking off a week long tour of the u.s. with a trip to the white house today. president obama sergio is expected to talk to president obama about a number of issues including the international response to isil and the refugee situation in europe. he's also slated to meet with vice president biden and secretary of state john kerry. the iraqi military announced it is deploying thousands of troops to retake mosul. evils de facto capital in iraq. the military is already making

people coming here to make their offering. and in some ways this chinese lunar new year has had a shadow cast over it by this tragedy, but also you get a sense that people have been stirred into action coming to join this communal effort giving whatever help they can while there is still a chance of people being rescued by the rubble. >> i pray for those people still trapped, and that for their safety. >> i pray to god at a that hopefully there will be more survivors. >> rescuers are now wrestling with the difficult decision whether to bring in heavy lifting gear to remove upper parts of this structure to get to people who may be buried lower down in the rubble. they resisted doing so-so far because of course it may cause a further collapse losing the very people that they're trying to save. we're coming to a critical point. we're into day three of the rescue operation, the calculation is if people are trapped they can't survive for longer than three days without food and water. if there are people buried deep

down in the rubble then they deserve a chance of being freed. >> rob mcbride, reporting from taiwan. president obama pressures congress to provide funds to study zika. and the use of toxic pesticide to fight the mosquito that carries that virus. >> it was like a bad dream. >> up next the look at the challenges facing deported parents forced to leave their u.s.-born children behind.
