respirator, ventilator, citing a state law that forbids removing life-sustaining treatment from a pregnant patient. i corrected that because clinically and in all of the 50 states brain dead is dead. but even with this ruling, nick, i understand that this isn't necessarily over. >> no, and anguish was evident on the face of eric munoz, the husband, as he left the courthouse yesterday. this is a ruling that they've been fighting for for at least two months now, since november 28th. that's when malise munoz was clinically and legally brain dead. they've been asking the hospital to take her off the vebt lantil. yesterday there were crucial facts agreed on by the hospital and the family saying that the fetus is not viable and marlise munoz is brain dead. the attorney for the family, the

m munoz family spoke to the media. >> this is the decision we sought. there's nothing happy about today. this was a sad situation all of the way around. we are relieved that eric munoz can now move forward with the process of burying his wife. >> jessica, anything to say? >> we also want to say that we are very, very appreciative of the courtesy of the attorneys and the judiciaries in this process and that we really feel justice was done today. >> mr. munoz, is there any way to describe what this is like for you today? >> no comment. >> mr. munoz is not ready to comment presently. he needs to prepare for the future and for monday. >> now, all along the hospital, jps hospital has been maintain that they've been simply applying state law, that it was applicable in this case and that state law is is that a pregnant woman cannot be defied life-saving treatment but the argument here is that she's been

legally brain dead. now, interestingly enough, victor and christi, one of the co-writers of this law who is now an smu professor said the hospital was misinterpreting the law all along. it was a very emotional day yesterday in the courtroom. lots of very graphic details emerging. some of the most, you know, really graphic details, we'll spare the viewer, but eric munoz saying that his wife is no longer alive, her eyes are soulless. when he grabbed her, the bones cracked. the smell of death was coming from her body. this is is really about grieving for the family. they want to have a proper burial for her and just move forward. but another anguish -- more anguish this weekend for them as they wait and see if this hospital will appeal that decision. by monday, 5:00 p.m., is when the hospital has to pull the ventilator on marlise munoz. >> we certainly appreciate it. the other big story

obviously for a lot of you is you -- maybe you're opening the door to let the dog outside and you do not want to step one step out because of the brutal cold. >> it is so cold across the country. a lot of states are battling records from the deep south, the northeast, snow and ice and sleet and freezing rain. dangerous conditions on the road for drivers. and with just a week to go until the super bowl, here's a big question. will this weather affect next week's big game? officials say that if new jersey gets hit with enough snow workers would meantime to shovel which means kickoff could be delayed or postponed. super bowl monday, may be. >> no. >> there's no way. it's going to take a system bigger than anything we've seen all year for them to actually move the super bowl a day away. so let's hope that doesn't happen and we've seen some pretty nasty systems move through already this season. we're going to show you a couple

different forecast models that we look at when forecasting. we're going to sew you this gfs model shows a low in the vicinity of new york, new jersey, around game day. that's one of the models we look at. another model we're looking at shows a system pushing off to the north. we could be in between systems. still a lot of uncertainty. confidence is low when forecasting actually the game day forecast. but if you compare the two, it looks like we're probably going to see chilly temperatures. may see flurries or rain. some precipitation. looks like wind should stay relatively light. confidence obviously will grow as we get closer to game day. let's look at the high temperatures though because this is happening now. we are going to see a warm-up across the south. temperatures actually in the 60s in new orleans, even 70 degrees in houston. a far cry from where you were just a couple days ago. your high will be 70 on sunday. look at these temperatures drop off though. memphis, high temperature of 32 on monday. 23 on tuesday. even in atlanta, 34 degrees,

your high temperature on tuesday. so the south warms, guys, just a little bit for the next couple of days. ah, yes, nice. >> take it while we can get it. >> thank you so much. so imagine being told, look, don't look too american because if you do, you could be in trouble. >> yeah, that's the state department's warning to the u.s. olympic team heading to sochi, russia, for the winter games. it's urging the athletes to layoff wearing the red, white and blue olympic uniforms outside the so-called ring of steel, this security area, secured area in the olympic village surrounding the olympic host city. that's because of an increase in terror threats. >> cnn senior international correspondent nick peyton walsh is joining us from sochi right now. you know, nick, how concerned should athletes and their families really be about their safety? are they feeling it? do you have a sense that people are tense or upset about it? >> well, i mean, the state

department's advice to american tourists coming here is that americans aren't specifically the target. across a lot of the region. less so here in sochi in the far west. they're not specifically targets but they should be careful. obviously people are more concerned that privately they were giving this warning to american athletes. when they leave this secure area, this so-called ring of steel where the olympic village will be and the venues, they shouldn't walk around wearing bright lot lowe goes suggesting they're americans too much. they say that's advice they've given in the past as well. we know there's a threat here. it's no secret for the the past decade this has been a dangerous part of the world, all of the way across to the caspian sea here. they will engulf these games in flames. the real issue is, does any of that potential violence get passed the steel corridor that 37,000 russian police and security officials have tried to

enforce here? people are probably going to be okay inside that, around this olympic area. everybody hopes. it's just that when they head out across into the broader parts of russia where the police are known for corruption and inefficiency, that's where there could be real problems. christi? >> you know, nick, i want to talk about something just a different angle of this. every olympic city has a lot of construction, there's a lot of work to do to prepare for the world coming to the city. but is sochi ready? >> reporter: i think, yes, is probably the clearest way to say it. i've not been across all parts of the olympic venues. in fact, a lot of the time it's very hard to get in. just yesterday we were trying to go to near the ski jump area. told to leave. trying to go near some of the hotels, told to leave. construction is still going on there. i think there's a feeling though that the pace is picking up and it's probably going to get there. they will, of course, be some issues, i'm sure, near the time. but the real question is can that be put aside, can the security fears be put aside and

people go back to what this is all about, fun, at the end of the day, sports, competition, international kind of bonding. instead the real concern is how safety is necessary to come here. i have to say though today, beautiful view where i was stand pentagon the mountain, the backdrop stunning. you got a glimpse per happen of how maybe this could turn out to be a spectacular two weeks ahead. victor? >> certainly hope so for all of us watching and for all of you there. nick paton walsh, thank you so much much. so less take a look at your money, if you dare right now, because i know it was an ugly week on wall street. the dow got slammed. dropping nearly 600 points in its workweeks in years. inspectors were spooked, i guess, by less than stellar corporate earnings and fears that china may be slowing down its red hot growth. screaming fans, you see them here going wild over justin bieber as he leaves miami after, you know, that arrest for dui

steak, don't come to jail. that's my message. the guy you had on. >> let me ask you this, sheriff. these 38 inmates are being punished for defacing the american flags you put into their cell. part of a program you started in november to promote patriotism. "star-spangled banner" is played every morning, "god bless america" every night. why is it the job of the correction system to create patriots? aren't they there to serve out the time? why is it important for them to become patriotic? >> because we have a lot of educational programs, on drugs, alcohol, you name it. i put all the veterans in one area, too, to have committed crimes to hope and he'll them, educate them, so when they get out they can find a job. i run the jail system. i'm elected and i decide what the policies are. why can't i have patriotism in our jails? i mean, they live in the united states, most of them. and i don't think that's bad, to

educate them, talk about the constitution and so on. >> and i think there are some who would agree with you. but this is also a matter of free speech, is it not? i mean, the supreme court has ruled on defacing an american flag. >> it has nothing to do with the first amendment. when you mess with the flag you're destroying government property. when you deface the flag, it's on the wall, that's destroying that wall. so that's what it's about. it has nothing to do with first amendment or the right to speak out. >> what you're saying, sheriff, i know gets a lot of people rowed up and it does bring me to my last question. a little birdie told us you may be considering a run for governor. is that true? >> well, every four years people ask me to run for governor. y raise $3.5 million in 12 months. so, you know, i know i would win if i ran. i haven't nad the decision. but this is the last hoorah. i am a senior citizen. if i'm going to do it i would

then they're going to come up with a determination of the charges whether or not those charges will be upped. there has been a lot of talk about possible charges about drag racing but the state attorney's office at this point says it's just too early in the game to really tell where this case is going to be going. >> does the dui which -- i have to remind people, dui, driving under the influence, not necessarily alcohol. but his blood alcohol level was within the legal -- below the legal limit. does that stand here? >> right. this all according to a source who is close to the investigation saying that he was given two breathalyzer tests. the results were .011 and .014. according to that source. those are below the legal limit. but as you mentioned you have to remember dui is more than just alcohol. and miami beach police say that justin bieber failed a field sobriety test and admitted to officers that he had some alcohol, had used marijuana and

also taken prescription pills. so they called in a drug recognition expert and even beyond that they did an additional drug test. they say the results from that additional drug test won't be coming back for about two to three weeks and at that point we'll get a better sense of what was or wasn't in his system. >> okay. so when is his next court date? when does he have to come back? >> christi, that's all going to depend upon this state attorney's office. once they make the determination of the charges, then we'll have a better sense of when that next court appearance might be. >> all right. live in miami, thank you. you know, there's one star that wishes justin bieber would just stop, collaborate and listen. we actually spoke with vanilla ice last hur. the rapper has had his own run-ins with the law but he says it's up to the biebs to make better choices. >> it's like a snow globe. it gets shaken up. it's going to have to settle

case proceeds before a federal court appeals court. and number five. french media outlets are report that french president hollande and his companion are expected to announce today that they're separating. a palance press officer tells cnn, no, it's all rumor. there is no confirmation of any statement today but she was recently hospitalized for stress following the press reports that mr. hollande was having an affairactress. is this creepy or complim t complimenta complimentary? look closely there because on that planet is hillary clinton's face. now, that's the cover. but the cover story actually looks at the political atmosphere around clinton and how it could play into a possible bid for the white house in 2016. listen, on social media people are having a field day with planet hillary. look at the pictures. that's over justin bieber's head. mocking the magazine cover. not everyone thinks this is such

a great thing. so complimentary. critics say the photo is disrespectful and sexist. so was "new york times" magazine out of line here? let's talk about it. joining us now, cnn political commentator sally cohn and ben ferguson. good to have both of you back. >> good morning. >> let's start here. and i want to say with the "times" said about the cover. they write, at first we were going to put faces on celestial bodies orbiting around her but it felt like overkill. instead we added other galactic elements that would surround planet hillary. first, to you, sally, what do you think? art or are they out of line? >> you know, i don't think it's either. look, first of all, it is a very interesting story and i encourage folks to read it, about the powerful, gravitational pull that hillary has in kpolitics right now and all the celestial bodies surrounding around her. i get the metaphor they were

going for. every one i talked to thinks it's creepy. we think we all agree, it's just kind of creepy looking. now, the more interesting question, of course, is is it sexist? i got to say my jury is out h e here. on the one hand praising in a sense this political figure who is a woman for her powerful effect in the political world is a good thing. on the other hand, it's worth noting that of all "the new york times" magazine covers over the last five years or so only one other one has depicted this detached political head and that was sarah palin. so it's a little, i don't know, coincidence? i think not. >> let's look through a through of these, ben. we know that this is not the first time that clinton herself has been on a cover that was gone viral. last week we saw the high heeled woman in a pantsuit running away and a guy holding on to the heel. can anyone stop hillary? do you think the powerful men are held to this same, i don't

know, i wouldn't call it scrutiny, but to the same -- from the same perspective for magazine covers? >> well, i mean, look at the elephant in the room cover with chris christie. this is politics and part of it. but i actually think is getting a little bit blown out of proportion. if you read the article, it was a glowing review for hillary clinton and the power that she possesses. if you're a democrat right now and you want to be in a campaign, you're not trying to beg joe biden to allow you in his inner circle. you wanting to be in hillary clinton's inner circle. she obviously is a front-runner. i think that's what this magazine article is writing. and i think some people are looking into this a little bit too much. if i'm a candidate and i can get an article written as glowing of a review about how powerful i am and this is the picture they're going to use on the cover? i think every politician i know would take it every single time. and some people maybe didn't like it but i bet you hillary clinton's campaign staff, or soon to be campaign staff, has no problem with this article at

all. >> yeah. if you read the article it kind of gives the categories and the orbit at which these people that she's known for years and the people she'll have to bring into the circle to win, center around around circle around hillary clinton. >> people are crawling over her. people are valcrawling over one another to get close to hillary. she is by far the front-runner here. he schedule shows it. it's full-time campaign mode for her and, again, i talked to democratic staffers. they're begging to get close to her. and that's what the article was saying, because she is going to probably be the nominee and joe biden if anybody right now is probably begging and wishing he had the same cover this morning. >> let's talk about politics and women specifically, talking about former governor mike huckabee aim for democrats and the issue of birth control but some say he really just shot himself in the foot with this comment. let's listen.

>> if the democrats want to insult the women of america by making them believe that they are helpless without uncle sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. >> well, okay, so, sally, i'm turning to you on this. i see your facial expression and you're shaking your head. he was not saying that he believed women have these uncontrollable libidos but what do you think about the way he phrased it? >> even some of my phrase who are women on the right think he put his foot in his mouth on that one. i will say, in general, and this is not specifically to governor huckabee because i don't know, but all republican men who are getting subsidized viagra through their insurance companies who none the less object to women being able to get subsidized contraception through their insurance under obamacare should, first, raise their hands and sort of self

identify before making this point. i mean, this is about being able to get affordable access to contraception and tying this up in a critique of women's sexuality, as though it's something to be, you know, sort of controlled, whereas male sexuality is to be celebrated p even bill o'reilly drew the difference between contraception and viagra. this general republican preoccupation with women's sexuality and controlling it lately, is, i don't know, not 2014 and is not going to win you elections in 2016, either. >> this is an attempt to change the conversation at this winter meeting but even at trying that, this slip-up or mischaracterization, how do republicans get back on track? >> i mean, you've got to credit this to governor huckabee himself. i think his point was, is that women shouldn't be reduced to just birth control once a month and women are smart enough to be able to take care of their

reproductive, you know, ideas on their own and that they don't need to be treated as if, you know, the only thing the government is going to do is get you a pill every 30 days. using the word libido was not a smart move. i total ll lly agree with that. but i don't think this is indicative as some are trying to reply is that every republican man thinks the same way or would have said it the same way as mike huckabee did. mike huckabee said something that is on him. it's not indicative of every other republican plan out there. i wouldn't put my arm around him on that exact statement and go, yeah, i agree with him on this one. it's what he said, how he said it, and it's an individual person that may be run for president. >> sally, your facial expression shows that you have one more thing to say. >> look, what i love -- why love about the conjunction of these two stories is that if the republicans keep going the way they're going, especially alienating women voters, what that hillary cover is going to be is like good night moon, you know? it's good night, moon.

good night, republican chances of winning the white house in 2016. i mean, they're shooting themselves in the foot. all we have to do is sit back. >> i do have to say this reminds me of the exact quotes i was hearing when hillary clinton was the front-runner last time and she lost to barack obama. so there are some other tales out there in history that might be a reminder of just because you're out there in the front right now doesn't mean you're going to end up on the podium in a couple of years. >> but these are also the same conversations that republicans were having about rudy giuliani, too, in 2006. ben ferguson, thank you so much. sally kohn, our newest cnn commentator, good to have you on the team. >> thank you. a pleasure. thank you so much. >> all right. all righty. next on "newsroom," a preview of hot performances about to hit the hollywood stage for the grammys on sunday. and we're going to take you through the list of nominees.

of the show. >> you track what they say about the grammys. what are you hearing about predictions? >> well, for album of the year,ed a gold derby we poll poll other experts, about eight from entertainment weekly, the associated press, et cetera. in the album of the year race four of them are going for ryan lewis and we give them 10-9 odds you can compete against by the way at the site in terms of a gaming situation. but taylor swift is right behind three of our experts think she will win. she won this race four years ago. and she had the number one album of the year. so this is a very tight contest. >> what about, we've got jay-z, named in nine categories. justin timberlake, bruno mars, taylor swift receiving multiple nominations. kim, what do you think? >> well, you know, i think -- you mentioned justin timberlake.

personally i think he got snubbed for album of the year. though, again, taylor swift, you know, don't count her out because it's an award show and taylor swift wins something every award show. i get dizzy thinking about the awards she's won. possibly best country album though she's more pop now. i would say certainly look at those two for album of the year. you know, lord, this is another one. look for her to do well. she also didn't get the nomination for album of the year but record of the year you will see "royals" win for lord dle. she got snubbed for leading new artist. that's one to watch because m k macklemore and ryan lewis may win that one. he performed at last year's grammys. i think with elton john. he's not really a new artist but it's not going to be an adele type of year this year. you're not going to see one

artist sweep everything. if anyone does get a lot of awards it probably will be macklemore and ryan lewis. >> beyonce, norah jones and adele stand ing there with an arm full of grammyss. tom, i'm coming to you with your view of who was snubbed, miley cyrus, not nominated, kanye west. and please nominate kanye for something. we see what happens when kanye is not pleased with who gets an award. >> i thought you were going to say he did something big where he deserved it. >> the album is okay. please nominate kanye. who do you think is the biggest snub this year? >> by far justin timberlake as kim was just saying. we thought this could be his year to win. he was completely snubbed across the board in the general field. and as christi was just saying as the segment opened up the person with the most nominations is jay-z. why isn't he in the top categories? that's outrageous. >> kim, what do you say to that? we were talking about that earlier. and are we going to see he and

beyonce performing together? >> grunk "drunken love," let's >> l.l. cool j did say don't miss the top of the show. this could be where beyonce and jay-z were performing together. that would be incredible. the grammys are known for doing these kind of interesting pairings. of course, beyonce and jay-z not so interesting considering they're married but you do have odd combinations like robin thicke performing with chicago, daft punk and stevie wonder is going to be together. i don't know if he's going to wear a strange "star wars" helmet. i think everybody wants to see this. who is madonna going to perform with? >> who knows what's going to come from that. hey, thank you so much, guys. tom o'neall and kim editor of "in touch weekly."

okay. so you are invited to a pot luck. the kind of party where everybody brings a dish and you all share. >> yeah. >> how nice. >> i usually take some type of dip. people like dip. well, police in california are accusing a guest at a recent potluck of adding one ingredient too many. we're not talking too much paprika. not too much salt. >> or too much dip, mind you. they say the food this elementary schoolteacher brought was lace with pot! and now she's facing charges. >> affiliate kpix has more. >> tedetectives say it involved several teachers from matthew turner elementary. it was a potluck. after the party several of the 20 people there began feeling ill, seriously ill. >> one of the partygoers was

rushed to the hospital with severe reactions. she was hospitalized. the very next morning another partygoer was taken to the hospital because she continued to feel like she was under the influence of something. she wasn't sure exactly what it was. >> hospital blood tests confirmed the presence of thc, the active ingredient in marijuana. and it wasn't just the holiday partygoers who ate the allegedly laced food. >> one of the attendees took some of the food home and their 15-year-old juvenile ingested this food and became ill. >> that's when police investigation began and the person who brought the alleged laced dish was identified as 40-year-old teresa badger, elementary schoolteacher. witnesses told benicia detectives badger admitted putting pot in the dish. badger says the charges, three felly count of poisoning don't

fit the woman and mother they know. >> what you i hear from you guys is totally out of character. teresa is kind, she's a dedicated teacher, she's someone who keeps to herself. >> reporter: badger was arrested friday afternoon at her home. when our cameras were there an upstairs light was on but nobody answered. the police department is not exempting on exactly what item badger may have brought to that party saying they still have people to interview in this investigation. benicia, kpix5. >> go to the home page. she should have taken dip. >> i don't know why that's so funny. >> good seven layer starts a good party. >> everybody likes dip. the super bowl will be played outdoors this year. next, a look at the threatening weather. players and fans may face and what that means for the game. when you have diabetes like i do, getting the right nutrition isn't always easy. first, i want a way to help

if you are gearing up for super bowl sunday you may have to postpone the party plans because mother nature might get in the way of the big game. >> i'm not buying it. >> i don't to believe it. >> i think they're going to do everything they can. how much money would it cost to change things around? meteorologi meteorologist, jennifer grey, i know you can't drol weather but what does the crystal ball tell

you? >> i'm totally with you because i think it will take a huge snowstorm. they're saying it's going to take something bigger than anything we've seen this season and we have seen some big storm systems push through and it has made those guys tough out there because mother nature has not been kind to the nfl. this winter season has been nothing short of extreme with record freezing temperatures and major snowstorms impacting millions of "american idol" cross the country. and for the nfl players this season, and the fans in the stands, they have not been immune to the elements. >> we saw strong winds. we saw heavy rain. we even saw tornado warnings at one game and then you had all the snowy games in december and the playoff game when you had negative degree windchills. we have seen everything. >> reporter: that tornado warning came during week 11. forcing those inside soldier field to seek shelter. >> wind gusts to 70 miles per

hour. the wind and rain was horizontal flying underneath the concourse and everyone was running for the exit. it was just crazy. >> reporter: the game was delayed for nearly two hours. three weeks later came the snow, big time. philly set a record that day with nearly nine inches dumped on the eagles/lions game. the dolphins got smacked with the white stuff against the steelers that week, too. as did other teams on the keyea coast. >> the game that everyone was talk agent nonstop was the lions/eagles game in philadelphia. over a foot of snow on the field. i remember one shot where calvin johnson caught a ball and he got a helmet full of snow when he came up and that was one thing everyone was talking about. definitely fun watching the game. the players struggled at first but then did the hang of it a little bit. >> reporter: snow is one thing. the bitter bone-chilling cold is another. take the packers/niners game in early january. negative 10 with the windchill. some dubbed this one the ice bowl ii as one one of the

coldest in nfl history. the original ice bowl in 1967 and until in green bay holds the record with the windchill, it was a brutal 36 below zero at kickoff. the big question now is if mother nature will rear its ugly head one more time for the super bowl. but andy says, all fans will get a swag bag to survive the big chill. >> when they sit down in their seat they're going to have a cushion and the cushion is going to be a zipper pocket and it's going to be like a cold weather survival kit. it's going to have gloves, it's going to have a beanie, hand warmer, lip palm, tissue, neck warmer and it's going to have the thing the quarterbacks wear on their belt where they put their hands in them and warm them in between plays. it's going to say super bowl on it. pretty cool deal. >> all right. now you want the forecast. the short answer is, we all really know. it's eight days away. but we do know that it will most likely be chilly. as these forecast models continue to come together, one model is forecasting some sort

of precipitation in the vicinity. another one is showing a low pushing off the coast. so, victor and christi, still just too early to tell. we'll get confidence as we move closer to the game day. >> thank you so much. we just put in our eight hours, victor. >> yes. let's toss it over to fredericka whitfield. >> i don't know. i think you guys deserve a little overtime. >> no, we're going to go ahead and give it to you. >> give me a little company perhaps? look at it that way. >> we'll call you at 2:00 a.m. when we wake up. >> in that case you guys have a good day. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. it is the 11:00 a.m. eastern hour. the "newsroom" starts right now. a texas case has had a nation debating, who should control the end of a person's life? now a judge makes a crucial decision about a pregnant mother on a ventilator. and justin bieber has a mug
