i'm fredricka whitfield. a look at our top stories in the "cnn newsroom." brutal winter weather this spring. a major snowstorm is hammering the midwest right now. we'll show you which states are getting hit the hardest and where the system is heading next. people in 13 states will start seeing tv ads aimed at gun violence starting tuesday. billionaire new york mayor miami bloomberg is paying for the campaign himself through his anti-gun violence group. we're a nation riveted by the ncaa tournament but beware -- watching all that streaming video can overload your company's internet. first up -- that huge snowstorm that's hammering the midwest on this first week of spring. snow is falling from missouri to ohio. wind gusts over 30 miles an hour are blowing allhat snow around making visibility on the roads extremely difficult. it is the same storm that slammed into the rockies creating white-out conditions and forcing shutdowns on two interstates in colorado.

karen maginnis is track being the storm. >> coverage of snowfall across the ohio river valley is where it is expected to be the heaviest in places like st. louis, springfield, extending on over towards evansville, indiana. road conditions pretty treacherous. this area of low pressure has trekked all the way from the rockies into the central plains. the ohio valley. but then it kind of gives up a little bit of steam an another area of low pressure will make its way just off the mid-atlantic coast but still close enough to places like washington, d.c. and new york. looks like that's going to be a very short-term event with you in the meantime if you are traveling along some of the interstate that cut across some of the central plains, those roads fairly treacherous. st. louis, springfield, some pockets where 6 to 10 inches of snow likely in central indiana. but for those higher elevations, the alleghenies and poconos, the spine of the appalachians, you'll definitely see heavier amounts there.

the bulk of the nastier weather is focused around the mid-atlantic and porpgss of the northeast. otherwise, sunshine across the southwest, high pressure dominates the central u.s. so this huge snowstorm is also hitting cities that are hosting march madness dams. dayton, ohio is one of them. susan candiotti is in dayton. people are going to get there despite this nasty weather? >> reporter: well, look at it now. the forecasters have said all along we're only expecting one to three inches -- until the overnight hours. so we've been getting flurries off and on. that's it. you can see right now these guys are getting ready for the onslaught of all the cars that are about to be let out of the university of dayton where the second of two games is winding up. but take a look around. we could still see grass here. just little patches of snow from those flurries earlier today. still all these people have to make their way home.

either to indiana or to philadelphia. what do they think about that? listen. what do you think it is going to be like when you wake up in the morning? >> i'll be tired. it doesn't matter to me. i'm retired. i don't care. i don't have to go anywhere. >> i have to go to work. so it will be cold but i don't mind it. >> so again, fred, they are talking about anywhere from five to eight inches, nine inches. wind gusts of 20 to 30 miles per hour. but that is not supposed to occur until the overnight hours and that could make morning commutes very treacherous as well as what are all these people going to do who live out of state and are trying to get back after the game. >> good luck to them all. thanks so much. a memorial is set for tomorrow morning for colorado's former prison chief. tom clements was shot dead last week. police say this man, evan spencer evil is a suspect in the

shooting. police believe evil drove to texas where he was killed in a shoot-out with defenputies. in brunswick, georgia the mother of an infant shot and killed last week said it is the second time she lost a child to violence. she says her 18-year-old son was stabbed to death in new jersey in 2008. two teenage boys have been charged with the killing of west's 13-month-old son while she was out walking with him on thursday. in orlando a 16-year-old boy who says he accidentally shot and killed his 12-year-old brother will not face charges. >> 16-year-old figured that the place was being broken into. he fired a shot and it killed his brother. >> authorities say they will meet with the state's attorneys office to decide if there was any negligence in the shooting. neighbors of the teens are concerned about how the 6-year-old got the gun. new york mayor michael bloomberg is stepping up his campaign against gun violence.

he's helping brank bangroll a $12 million ad blitz. the campaign has its critics. >> i believe in the second amendment and i'll fight to protect it. but with rights come responsibilities. >> reporter: mayors against illegal guns. led by new york mayor michael bloomberg, is pouring $12 million into ads like these to push congress to act on guns. >> closing loopholes will stop criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from buying guns. >> reporter: here's the mayor on nbc's "meet the press." >> there are an awful lot of people that think that this is one of the great issues of our times, we have to stop the violence. >> reporter: the ad will air in 13 stays starting this week to pressure democratic and republican senators home for spring recess to support comprehensive background checks. the senate will debate a bill that includes those background checks next month. >> we're trying do everything we can to impress upon the senators

that this is what the survivors want, this is what the public wants. >> reporter: the national rifle association is running its own ad campaign against expanded background checks. >> so when gun owners hear "universal background checks," we know it means -- >> universal registration. >> reporter: an nra ceo wayne la pierre also on nbc promised to continue the battle against regulations he says won't work. >> the whole thing universal checks is a dishonest premise. there's not a bill on the hill that provides a universal check. criminals aren't going to be checked. they're not going to do this. the shooters in tucson, aurora, newtown, they're not going to be checked. >> reporter: the obama administration supports universal background checks. appearing with bloomberg last week, vice president biden urged congress to show courage an confront the gun rights lobby. >> look, folks. we have a responsibility to act. the loudest voices have to be from those silenced voices,

close to 3,000 since newtown. gunned down in american streets, homes and neighborhoods. >> athena jones now joins us at the white house. you saw vice president biden talking about gun control. he talked about it again last night at a democratic congressional campaign committee issues conference. what was the message? similar? >> reporter: it was similar, fred. he said, getting these gun control measures through congress is going to be "one hell of a fight," and it is going to require support from members of congress in districts with a lot of gun ownership. but he's also said that the shooting in newtown he thought really shocked the public conscience so there was a real hope that something could get done, the kind of measures that lots of people, including gun owners, support. >> athena jones at the white house, thanks so much. so two same-sex marriage cases will be heard in the u.s. supreme court this week. we'll have details on those cases and there's a winner in

same-sex marriage will be front and center at the u.s. supreme court this week. the court will hear arguments on the defense of marriage act and california's proposition 8 which

bans same-sex marriage. cnn justice correspondent joe johns is here with details. >> fred, the battle over same-sex marriage in california has been going on for years and coming up this week it finally arrives at the u.s. supreme court. we talk to one of the couples involved in the case who, win or lose, have already assured themselves a small place in history with their legal challenge. jamelle thomas and corraians williams had been together four years before they got married last october. their lives are not all satin and pearls. >> i'm an airman in the united states air force reserves? >> i'm a police officer with the metropolitan police department here in d.c. >> reporter: which makes this couple a case study in how america's married but unequal approach to same-sex relationships can play out. >> as an airman, you get a constant reminder that you're second class. >> reporter: jamelle is a

federal employee but the federal defense of marriage act bars recognition of same-sex marriage by the government which affects more than 1,000 federal benefits for spouses. everything from filing taxes and receiving debt benefits to who gets called as next of kin. >> i had to list corraine as my sister just so that someone would call her in the event that i'm killed or missing in action. or hurt on the job. she can't be my emergency contact. she can't receive my remains. >> reporter: corraine on the other hand gets the benefit of being married because the nation's capital recognizes same. sex marriage but only nine states in the district of columbia have taken that step so just by crossing the potomac river into virginia you lose that status. >> why do we have to be married locally but federally it's nothing, we're friends. we wear a ring symbolically. so it's ridiculous.

>> what the bill does -- >> reporter: now the defense of marriage act also known as daytona first passed by congress and signed by president clinton in 1996 is being challenged at the supreme court. >> it's being asked to decide there whether or not congress can pass a law that treats same-sex couples who are already married under the laws of their state different from opposite sex couples. >> reporter: defenders of the law say congress has as much right as the states to make its own definition of marriage. >> doma is important because congress said it was important. i mean we send our elected representatives to washington, d.c. an they chose to say that marriage is one man and one woman for purposes of federal law. >> reporter: and conservatives say the founding fathers never contemplated gay marriage. >> because it is clearly not what anyone understood as marriage at the time of the framing of the constitution. >> reporter: still, same-sex families pay taxes and don't get the same benefits and the issue with doma really gets complicated if they have children who are also excluded from benefits.

>> when we have kids i would like them to be born in a post-doma united states. >> reporter: still, california as one of only a handful of states that gives most of the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples and domestic partnerships. one question is whether any ruling by the court on california could affect all of those other states in the same way. pred? >> thanks so much, joe. so is there a feeling that the landscape on gay marriage is about to change in a big way? i spoke with state of the union' candy crowley. >> reporter: i think there's two tracks you have to measure. one is the political track and, yes, the political track responds to public opinion and public opinion has clearly changed on the issue of same-sex marriage. so on the political track you're right. that has changed. i don't know -- i mean go ask somebody to predict what the supreme court will do. but the fact is that i had two guests on my show recently, one of whom said, no matter what the

supreme court does -- because as you know, there's 18 perm me tagss of how it could rule or how it could or could not change things. they say regardless of what the supreme court rules, that many gay and lesbian advocates for their rights believe that this is a done deal now and it is like a question of when and not a question of whether. so it will change judicially but many people also feel that the judicial track will be a lot slower than what we've seen in the political track. >> let's talk about gun control now and that fight. gaining some momentum with mayor bloomberg, joined by vice president biden to colorado governor who joined you and talked about the loss of his friend. how are these events likely to shape this debate? >> let's face it.

the singular event that has shaped the debate we're having now, which is the same debate that we have periodically, were the killings of these children in newtown. so these things add, sometimes they subtract. you do hear some states complaining that millions of dollars put into advertising by the mayor of new york is not going to help in the midwest or the interior west. but gradually there are things that states are doing. but this is a -- this defies a political solution as i think senator harry reid is finding out, in some ways simply because this is a geographical problem. sometimes even inside a state it is a geographical -- if you live in a city you tend to be much more for some gun control -- or further gun control. if you're in a rural area where guns are part of the culture, you're less inclined to do that. so it defies traditional

politics in a lot of ways. certainly the white house wants to keep pushing it but there is a general agreement, at least right now, that there will not be -- that there will be some sort of response to newtown in a legislative form out of congress but it will probably not include an assault weapons ban. >> you had an exclusive interview with veterans affair secretary eric shinseki, one of the most critical issues he has to deal with is the backlog of claims at the va. >> the president's been very clear. veterans are a top priority with him and ending the backlog is foremost in his mind. he has made that very clear. no veteran should have to wait for claims as they are today. we have a fix for this. we're open for business and we will end the backlog in 2015. >> is this a compelling argument that many veterans who have been feeling the pain of that backlog, that they believe that there's some hope on the

horizon? >> interesting, i had a couple of bets on the show said they have heard this before. they don't, interestingly, blame the va secretary because they say this is a decades-long problem at the va. the process is laden with paperwork. they haven't gone digital. they hear this promise that by the end of this year the va will go digital and that means you could -- for those filings, for those claims. and that in 2015 the va claims they'll have gotten rid of the backlog. let's just say that they are skeptical and hope that general shinseki is right on this but any number of these veterans groups say they just see on a daily basis veterans who feel just completely stymied by a system to the extent that many veterans never even go to the va because they think this is not worth my time to get psyched up in a bureaucracy. >> candy crowley, host of state

return. musharraf says he wants to reassert his influence, even run for office himself. what happens in pakistan could impact u.s. operations in afghanistan. now to a story shrouded in mystery. how did a russian tycoon die? police in england have launched an investigation into the death of boris berezovsky. he was found dead in his home in flaend on saturday. he fled to england after dispute with the russian president vladimir putin. eye take . >> reporter: new police details add a whole new layer of intrigue to this case. police now confirming that berezowsky's bodyguard found his body. he didn't see his boss in the morning. came into the bedroom and tried to open the bathroom door but found that it was locked from the inside. when he was finally able to open it, he found the body on the floor and then called an

ambulance. when that paramedic arrived, he said that berezowsky was already dead, he could not revive him. here's one interesting detail. as the paramedic was leaving he had on him a personal dosimeter, the thing that measures radioactivity. it was triggered by something when he was leaving. this is why police then called their specialist unit for hazardous materials to sweep through the property. they did go through it overnight. they cleared the area so they didn't find what it was that triggered that dosimeter. the other interesting detail in all this is that berezowsky and his bodyguard were the only ones in the house that morning. we also understand that police have said they will launch a full -- they have launched a full investigation and they will also begin a postmortem although that's not likely to happen today. the body according to the police

remains inside the property. in the meantime, they say they are talking to family and friends to determine berezovsky's state of mind at the time of his death but so far they say they have no more details on how he died. >> what a mystery. thanks, atika shubert. american airlines is continuing its tradition in this country. . honoring vets who receive the nation's highest military honor. we'll show you how straight ahead. see life in the best light. outdoors, or in. transitions® lenses automatically filter just the right amount of light. so you see everything the way it's meant to be seen. maybe even a little better. visit your eyecare professional today to ask about our newest lenses, transitions vantage and transitions xtractive lenses. experience life well lit. ask which transitions adaptive lens is best for you.

hbo -- >> i snuck into a screening last thursday which is pretty ridiculous that i have to sneak in ooh screening about a movie about my husband. but it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. al pacino doesn't portray my husband accurately. what was done in the movie was about the forensic evidence and they reiterated throughout the film the fact that lana clarkson was loaded on pills and drugs and alcohol, was in a very depressed mental state and that she ultimately killed herself. and in the film, as you know, since you've seen it, they backed it up with forensic scientific demonstrations to show that my husband could not have been responsible for her death. >> i did see the fm last week, fred. if nothing else, it is a very compelling look at a captivating trial and a truly fascinating man and it may leave people questioning phil spector's guilt. >> a.j., thanks.

chief equity strategist for s&p capital iq is with us. good to see you, sam. cyprus, a very small economy. one of the smallest in europe. but how could those shockwaves kind of cross the waters and affect the americans here? >> well, i think basically because of the uncertainty that could come from them and what kind of an impact we could see that resonates in italy, in spain, in portugal because if we find that a lot of the depositors are likely to get hit with a penalty, a tax of up to 7% if they have less than 100,000 euros, then the worry is that the smaller depositors in these other countries would be hit as well and that would be a negative. >> if they do reach a deal what kind of reaction do we spent from the markets? >> i think we get a sigh of relief that cyprus would not end up leaving the euro, that we would not have a contagion move into these other peripheral nations around the mediterranean
