>> if it's not for that pizza box, if it's not for the dna under karen's fingernails, you have a guy who potentially is framed, and you have another guy who gets away with murder. >> what isis has been able to do is take control of the whole valley. from the border crossing all the way to the western outskirts of baghdad. >> i was amazed they lasted that long in the water. i never seen something like that before. >> maybe god put us there to save them. >> there was a face now to those people who made that sacrifice 53 years ago. they are my heroes. >> you're still in the middle of
3:01 am
your weekend so don't worry when the alarm goes off. i'm christi paul. >> 6:00 on the east coast. this is influence day sunday sunday. >> first up this morning islamist militants tightened the grip on iraq seizing a strategic border town and three others. >> the towns include al-qaim. the towns line a highway. they connect syria to baghdad. that heightens the chance to go to the iraqi capital. >> this video shows fighters with the group islamic state in syria, iraq and syria. isis, laying claim to the border town as some residents hailed their arrival. >> in the meantime, thousands of shiites did heed a call we're told by the powerful iraqi
3:02 am
cleric to rise up in a show of force against the isis militants. >> less than two hours ago secretary of state john kerry arrived in cairo, his first stop on a swing flew the region including iraq. to try to defuse the sectarian bloodshed. just as the first at least of some of the 300 u.s. military advisers are due to arrive in iraq. >> iraqi officials say several sunni tribes are supporting isis in the west. the latest town to fall is 62 miles outside baghdad. >> how is the city reacting to the news that reportedly these militants are getting closer? >> reporter: as you can imagine, it is extraordinarily tense here. we've now had confirmed to us by iraqi officials over 70% of that western anbar province between iraq and syria, is now under
3:03 am
isis control. they have most of the you fray tees river valley in their hold that gives them avenues to reinforce, avenues to move troops and assets. and they have now iraqi officials told us set their sights closer to baghdad looking at the sunni areas on the outskirts of the capital like abu ghraib. the push feels like the momentum is picking back up. that's one of the things worrying secretary of state john kerry. >> we know that secretary of state john kerry is in the region, do we have any indication what the governments in baghdad and elsewhere in the region are expecting from him? >> reporter: well, we've had clearly from president obama that he wants an inclusive government and what people are reading between the lines of that here is that al maliki's government has not been inclusive and many of the shia
3:04 am
complaints are what has given rise to a lot of support from the sunni tribes. many of the sunni complaints i should say, has been what's given rise to the support that isis is enjoying from among the sunni tribes. so the concern is that it can't just be business as usual. whatever it is the u.s. does to try and hold back the floodgates of isis, will that be bolstering a government that has proven that it can't move iraq into the new stage, can that be the government -- the government that is overseeing much of this sunni gaining of ground, is that the government that can take iraq into the next stage? that's what u.s. officials need to figure out now, what happens on the ground when the u.s. military advisers finally arrive here. >> all right. thank you so much for keeping us up to date on what's happening there. >> let's talk more about this trip of secretary of state john kerry. again, now in cairo. arrived two hours ago. trying to calm this crisis in the region in iraq there.
3:05 am
>> jim is traveling with secretary kerry. what is kerry's role in egypt? >> in egypt you have a new president elected and it's the first senior american official to visit him after that election. and you have a lot of problems. they acknowledge it's a difficult transition, you remember that they had this mass trial where they sentenced hundreds of members of the muslim brotherhood to death in two hours, a trial that no one says followed due process. so clearly a challenge there. also they have imprisoned a number of journalists as well and secretary kerry and other officials say these are two key areas of concern. but at the same time they say egypt is a strategic partner, they want to keep this relationship going, they have shared interests and as always
3:06 am
with this country, that balance between trying to push them to a more democratic government at the same time is trying to keep them on the same side with peace with israel, and with a shared threat from terrorism. >> jim, president obama said that iraq has to settle this issue, the sectarian disputes of course, itself and that it's a political solution and the u.s. can't fix the problems. secretary kerry plans to travel to iraq soon. that's got to be a difficult line to walk, to support reconciliation, i mean is he going to also pressure maliki to resign? >> no. u.s. officials say the focus now is on one action stabilizing the country, in this fight against isis, but two, providing political space for a more inclusive government. they say that maliki has not brought an inclusive government,
3:07 am
they want him to do so, but they are not saying they are pushing him out or making that a requirement for u.s. help in pushing back against isis. but what they say is your immediate threat is from isis, is a horrible terrorist group, it has territory, it's got money, it's got weapons, it's got -- it's battle hardened from fighting in syria. this is spilling across from syria. and this is threatening to tear the country apart. so, they say the first priority is getting all sides on the same page t sunni, shia, the kurds in iraq, to fight isis, and at the same time find political agreement and i'll tell you though, the situation is so bad on the ground right now in iraq, it's difficult to imagine how you make reasonable political compromise in that environment. on the other hand, fear could be a good driver here because all these groups are equally fearful of isis' advance.
3:08 am
>> jim sciutto traveling with the secretary of state. thank you very much. stand by, we'll talk with you later. as we said isis militants are closing in it appears on baghdad. four key towns between the syrian border and the capital have fallen into the hands of militants just this weekend. >> i want to show you this map again so you get a gauge of what we're talking about. this opens up a path for fighters from isis in syria to get to the outskirts of baghdad now i give you a time table. in less than four hours. let's bring in lieutenant colonel bob mcginnis. thank you for being with us. so i know baghdad seems to be partly surrounded at this point. from a tactical standpoint how much in danger is baghdad right now and how do they -- do they have enough, do you think, to fend off isis and the sunnis that they teamed up with? >> i think they have enough to fend them off. after all, if you were watching
3:09 am
baghdad yesterday, you saw that a lot of the militias as a result of the ayatollah calling out a mobilization they have many thousands of people augmenting the army, and as a result i think baghdad for the most part, not outskirts but baghdad proper, is fairly secure for right now. >> so you said that after the ayatollah sistani called for so many shia to join forces and protect the capital there is now this blurred line between iraqi forces, the official army, and the shia militias. does that complicate the american support for the official army? >> no. there's no doubt that it's complicating. and in fact, sadder who runs the maddie army says that americans that may join to assist are fair
3:10 am
targets. the old animosities that came from our occupation have not gone away. this is a very complex arena. hopefully maliki and his army officials will protect our people who are embedded there, primarily as president obama said, to kind of assess the army, to prepare perhaps airstrikes in the future. but certainly to bring stability and it's a very complex and very tight wire that we're walking here. >> we know isis militants want to create this islamic cal i fate in syria and iraq. in iraq they have the support of the soon es but the sunnis' goal isn't necessarily the same goal as isis. my question is how long will these two groups work together or support each other because right now it seems to be a matter of convenience. >> great question. the reality is that the sunnis are doing this because they have
3:11 am
been alienated by maliki and company. so should isis move in, and not rule very well, in other words,ing a tag niz, marginalize the sunni, then you'll find that the sunnis are going to try to find accommodation elsewhere. and in fact, there's already been indications that maliki reached out to the sunni population to try to reel them back in. they don't you know, iraq does not benefit by having a three-part iraq in the future. isis needs to go but maliki has as jim pointed out from cairo, very difficult ways ahead trying to divide things up. so, we'll have to wait and see. >> all right. so good to have you with us and help us explain this. >> thank you, sir. >> cnn will have more on the american response to the iraq crisis at 9:00 a.m. on state of

>> welcome to your sunday. five things you need to know. >> one, islamic militants captured four more towns including a crossing at the syrian border. the towns plank a plain road from syria to baghdad and could aid an effort by militants to lay siege to the iraqi capital. in the meantime, secretary of state john kerry is in cairo now. his first stop on a diplomatic stop to the region. >> three border guards in eastern ukraine were wounded saturday. the first day of what was supposed to be a one-week cease-fire. ukraine's border service says there was an attack with automatic weapons. russian president vladamir putin expressed support for the cease-fire. >> three, washington authorities called off the search for a missing mt. rainier hiker karen sykes. the travel writer was last seen when she split up with her
3:31 am
hiking partner. officials say they found a body during the search but haven't identified it yet. >> four, two people killed when their small sight seeing plane crashed into a home near minneapolis. look at this video. one person in the house jumped out a window, was not hurt. fortunately there. the flames from the crash were so intense they melted the siding on the house next door. police call this understandably a freak accident. five, pope francis has a stern message for the italian mafia, that they are excommunicated from the church. >> reporter: using his strongest language to dade pope francis told members of the mafia they are excommunicated from the catholic church. it's the first time that a pope has spoken about excommunication for the mafia. it is language which will resonate strongly in southern italy where mafia members often attempt to portray themselves as

upstanding religious men in good rapport with the catholic church to gain local credibility. the pope spoke specifically of the mafia saying that they were examples of contempt for the common good and of the adoration of evil. they must be told no, the pope said, to a crowd of some 200,000 faithful gathered at an outdoor mass. earlier in the day the pope met with relatives of a 3-year-old boy who was the victim of a mafia hit in january. he was with his grandfather when both of them were shot and their bodies burned. the pope also had an opportunity to meet with prisoners with the elderly and with the infirm in hospice care before returning to the vatican. now an illustration of the
3:33 am
political power of church dollars. in this case we're talking about the presbyterian church deciding to divest itself of three american companies because of their link to israel's treatment of palestinians. >> that decision came on friday in this close vote at the general assembly meeting. they say caterpillar supplies products that are used to destroy palestinian homes. motorola solutions is on the list for providing military and surveillance systems that the church says is used in illegal israeli settlements and hewle hewlett-packard was targeted for providing technology that helps enforce the naval blockade of gaza. so in all this comes to $21 million. out of more than a billion dollars in church investments. let's talk to heath rada, moderator of the general assembly that approved the divestment. thank you for being with us. i have to ask you, did you vote and if so, how? >> i did not vote on this
3:34 am
particular occasion. >> do you agree with the decision to divest? >> i -- actually it's my responsibility to affirm the work of the church, in this regard i feel that i do support what the church has done. i think it's important for a statement to be made, but it is also important for it to be recognized as not an action against our brothers and sisters of the jewish faith. >> you did say that i know immediately after the vote you said in no way is this a reflection for a lack of love for our jewish sisters and brothers. one of your elders said divestment has a symbolic power to humiliate our jewish friends in this country. if you put yourself in the shoes of the jewish community, how would you not see this as something that is separating you or that is humiliating?
3:35 am
>> well, i think that kind of a statement is inflammatory. i don't think that represents the sentiment of what our commissioners were feeling. >> but this is from one of your elder commissioners. >> i understand it, but there were about 650 elder commissioners, and i don't think that one is representative of the sentiment or the feeling that i heard expressed and saw and was engaged in. >> you say 650. the vote was -- the decision to divest won by what, seven or eight votes? this was a highly divided vote. so i want to go to one of the other points you talked about, a political statement. $21 million out of more than a billion. this is just a statement, correct? you understand that -- >> that is correct. >> will continue on with business. i want to ask you something that one of the persons who presented
3:36 am
the dissent asked, his name is frank allen, and he asked the question in presenting an opposing opinion, do we really think we become more peaceful makers by alienating these good folk, that's from frank allen, so i'm going to ask you the question. he said the divestment will not end the conflict and bring peace. divestment will bring dissension. do you think you become a peacemaker alienating jews here in america and those who receive this message in israel? >> well, first of all, let me say that in many of my conversations with my jewish brothers and sisters, they are not seeing this as being alien nation of them. there are some who do, and i certainly don't wish to discredit that. but i think that the majority of the people with whom i've had personal conversation recognize
3:37 am
that we care deeply for that relationship and this particular issue is not one that's being directed against the jewish people but instead against element of the israeli government that is using these products from our company -- for our companies to harm the palestinian people. we recognize that the jewish people have also been undergoing mistreatment and we are just as grievous about that. so we're not -- we are continuing to invest in our work in israel, we are continuing to support the companies that are involved in peaceful work in israel. it's not a divestment from israel. and certainly not a statement of negativity toward american jews or jews anywhere in the world. >> i know we need to move on to rabbi rick jacobs but industry to take issue with what you said. it sounds cordial and congenial but in this statement affirming
3:38 am
divestment you mention and you compare it to divestment in south africa in the 80s, and relation to the apartheid policy. there is also the publication zionism unsettled in which you use phrases like ethnic cleansing, apartheid and cloaking secularism with messyianism. it seems as if the rhetoric is not something that speaks to as you say your love for your jewish brothers and sisters. can you reconcile those two? >> i'll be glad to, victor. first of all, our general assembly distanced itself saying we do not support the statements in zionism unsettled. we as a denomination do not affirm that terminology and that use. >> but you are selling it on the presbyterian usa website. i looked at it this morning. >> it still is available but there are some elements of that over which we don't have control. we -- that is being explored
3:39 am
right now to see how we're going to handle that in the future. and the second part is in regard to the apartheid, the relationship there is the fact that pressures against the south african government did help to bring about an end to mistreatment. that's the relationship that we're talking about here. >> can you explain how you don't have control, you either sell it or you don't? >> the statement, the -- go ahead. >> the zionism unsettled. all i'm ta saying that has been on our list, it takes -- we've been here at the general assembly, it takes a bit of time for us to be able to move forward on what is going to continue to be sold and what is not. i can't speak for the fact that i don't speak for the presbyterian publishing company but i can say that our denomination is not in favor of that and my impression is that it will be either removed or it will at least be identified as
3:40 am
something that does not represent our denomination. there are other materials on our publishing -- in our publishing that come from a publishing company that don't represent our position, but i think this one has become so inflammatory that it is a problem. >> we need to bring in rabbi rick jacobs, the president from the union for reformed judaism. thank you for being with us. i'm sure that you had a lot of conversations with your community there. how do they perceive this message from the presbyterian community? >> thank you. well, i actually was in detroit with heath and the presbyterian leadership at the general assembly and what's very clear to us is as you just mentioned, the zionism unsettled which is still available on the website, is one of the most hateful vicious attacks on judaism, the jewish people and the state of israel we have ever experienced.
3:41 am
i went to detroit to engage with my presbyterian colleagues to be able to find a way to express to them how deeply hurtful it would be if they were to pass their divestment resolution which they did. and i just -- listening to my colleague and i'm very grateful to heath for the invitation for me to be at the general assembly, but when he says he's been around lots of jewish people who are not upset, i can tell you that i represent the overwhelming majority of the american jewish community. literally millions and we are all united. not united about everything but on this we are completely united, that this act of divestment which is whatever the language said, it is an affirmation of the global bds, boycott divestment and sanctions movement, the global bds claimed this as a victory. this is a very hurtful act that causes the entire jewish community not only pain but a sense of betrayal from the
3:42 am
presbyterian church. >> we plan to wrap the conversation up. there is so much more. i would like both you, heath, to stay with us, rabbi jacobs, we've got more questions. we'll take a break and talk more in a moment. swagen passat is hes above the competition, but we're not in the business of naming names. the fact is, it comes standard with an engine that's been called the benchmark of its class. really, guys, i thought... it also has more rear legroom than other midsize sedans. and the volkswagen passat has a lower starting price than... much better. vo: hurry in and lease the 2014 passat s for $199 a month. visit vwdealer.com today. okay buddy, what's your favorite kind of cheerios? honey nut. but... chocolate is my other favorite... but apple cinnamon is my favorite too... and fruity... oh yeah, and frosted!

thanks for staying with us on "new day." let's bring back in heath raddy and rob buy rick jacobs, the president of the union for reform judaism, the largest branch of american judaism. >> thank you for sticking with us through the break. rabbi, i wanted to say we read your letter to delegates at the presbyterian church general assembly. you said in order to bring about desired changes it's imperative the changes attain the goal at hand. if the goal is two states for two peoples these divestment moves are not the answer. let me ask you, what is the answer in your opinion? >> well, one very concrete alternative that i put before the general assembly, i invited gravy persons, the stated clerk of the church and heath rada, the moderator, to come meet me
3:47 am
in jerusalem and let us together go and speak with the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu to express to him our commitment together that the settlements are not moving us forward and to really address the core concerns. to engage with us. to work constructively. the act of divestment is not going to move us closer to a two-state solution. in fact, it will harden those in the extremes, it will give them more reason to oppose movement forward on the two-state solution. the action that the church took is exactly the wrong approach to moving forward and building the infrastructure for peace, building the momentum and the good will. that's the way we would move forward and by choose divest. over engagement the church sent a very loud message that they really are not interested in the partnership that we so very much want and extended to them. >> quickly before i get to the question i planned, do you commit to that conversation, dr.
3:48 am
rada? >> well, first of all, we were so glad to have rick with us, and i was pleased to have a chance to get to know him and look forward to working with you, rick, in ways that we can bring about peace. i think that's the bottom line of what we all want. but i do want to say what we adopted had several points to it. not only was it the divestment but included in our motion and acceptance was that we reaffirmed israel's right to exist, we reaffirmed our desire to invest in companies in israel and palestine that are working on peace making, we endorse the two-state solution, we encourage interfaith dialogue and travel to israel and palestine and we have tried very hard to set ourselves apart from the bds which the rabbi was talking about and we agree, we do not want to be supportive of what they are saying at this point, even though our divestment

sounds as though it is supportive. and i can see why it can be interpreted. i want it known that the presbyterians wanted very much to say we are with our jewish brothers and sisters in seeking peace and the intent as i understood it those split and very close, was to look for ways that they thought would best make this happen, and divestment was their choice. >> and just to make sure we get the number right from your organization, the count 310 to 303, that was the final vote. so very divided assembly as we know there in detroit. on that vote specifically. rabbi jacobs, we extended this as much as we can. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. all righty. so 12 hours and counting folks from the big game between team usa and portugal.

7:00 straight up on a sunday. you got plenty of time this morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. folks on the west coast it's 4:00 a.m. this is "new day sunday." >> we start with news out of iraq. islamist militants tightened their grip on the country. they sieged a border crossing and three other towns in the western part of the country there. >> these four towns include al-qaim along with its boundary with syria. they also flank a highway that connects syria to baghdad. asset that could aid in any effort by militants to lay siege to the iraqi capital. >> iraqi officials say the group
4:01 am
islamic states in iraq and syria controls 70% of the western anbar province and most of euphrates river valley. >> thousands of shiites heeded a call by a powerful iraqi cleric to rise up in a show of force against isis. >> less than three hours ago secretary of state john kerry arrived in cairo, his first stop on a swing through the region we understand will include iraq, kerry has met with egypt's foreign minister. his trip as 300 military advisers are due to arrive. >> iraqi officials say sunni tribes are supporting isis in the west, and the latest town to fall to the militants is 62 miles outside of baghdad. >> nic robertson joins us from the iraqi capital. nic, what is the situation now and how is the city reacting to news that the militants are getting so close? >> reporter: christi, it made
4:02 am
the city more nervous and on greater edge, al-qaim has fallen allows the isis rebels to essentially link their safe havens inside syria with about a 4-hour drive down highways to the western outskirts of baghdad. that's what it does. the military here is saying the army in al anbar which is 70% under isis control, they say the army went through a strategic withdrawal, what we're hearing from security, iraqi security officials inside al anbar province is that the tribes fighting with isis went to the army and said put down your weapons, take off your uniforms and go home. that's the only way we can make you safe. so really, the army is on the back foot in al anbar retreating from there, still they hold a tiny part but it seems that isis intent on taking the whole of that province, and therefore advancing much closer in a
4:03 am
stronger way to baghdad. >> so nic, what are the expectations ahead of secretary kerry's upcoming visit to iraq? >> reporter: certainly prime minister nuri al maliki will be looking for a quick turn around on airstrikes, there is no indication that's about to happen quickly. and the overall outside hope and expectation and hope of many politicians here is that secretary of state kerry can impress upon nuri al maliki that he needs to make way for other political leaders to step up and form a government. there is a constitutional time table for that, about 60 days from now approximately, for when there should be a new prime minister announced. and the assessment is maliki doesn't have the numbers to get the job. but getting him to go quickly so the airstrikes could take place, so that there could abnew government, that is going to be the real challenge for him here.
4:04 am
>> nic robertson for us in the iraqi capital. thank you. for analysis we bring in general retired from the air force, the air force's top senior official in the intelligence community and the principle attack planner during desert storm. >> general, good to have you back with us. wu know that secretary of state john kerry will head to iraq soon and we have the team of 300 advisers heading in as well. if you can tell us, what you expect these advisers will do. it's a vague term, military advisers. do you think it's enough? >> first, let me preface my remarks victor and christi with a restatement of the obvious, that is this is an exceedingly complex environment that is not going to be solved with the application of military force, particularly by an outside party. the way to solution is through garnering a political settlement
4:05 am
where the government essentially becomes more representative of all of the parties that exist there in iraq. that's part of why this set of sunni revolts have arisen that maliki has led an exclusionary government. back to the issue of the advisers, you know, frankly, the benefit will be to garner greater information about just what is the situation on the ground among the different sects, to be able to ascertain what are the appropriate moves going forward. what they will be specifically doing is to be determined, but i would tell you their primary role is to gain greater situational awareness so that the president has a better idea of what moves might be appropriate next. >> now, i mean, you were involved in the air campaign during operation desert storm as we said.
4:06 am
do you think targeted airstrikes are the appropriate answer this time around or is there too much risk since as we understand it, there are no singular structures necessarily to target here. >> right. the issue, though first, christi, is airstrikes to accomplish what? >> right. >> what is the desired strategic outcome? and then, how can military application contribute to that outcome? so it's not that they are going to be, a, solution. you've got a military element, a political element here. as i mentioned last week when we chatted, you could, in fact, identify three principle military objectives that one might plan around. the first one being to halt any further movement of the isis forces on the ground, the second may be to force them to be removed from the towns and cities it captured. the third one may be to
4:07 am
eliminate them or neutralize them as effective fighting force. which one of those objectives are selected is going to depend upon the political conditions to restabilize the region. and quite frankly, that means that prime minister maliki has got to go and go soon. >> you know, part of the reason the white house says there were no forces left in iraq after the withdrawal was because there was no status of forces agreement. there still is no status of forces agreement, no visiting forces agreement. do you have any significant concerns about what that means for the 300 who are going in and potentially any who go in after? >> well, first i'd make any insertion of u.s. military force conditional on a status of forces agreement. it's not something to be negotiated in this particular case. if the iraqi government is requesting our assistance, then we should offer them hey, sign
4:08 am
this to assure protection of our citizens and forces, and we'll consider it. not the other way around. >> lieutenant general dave deptula, thank you. by the way, cnn is going to have more on the american response to the iraq crisis at 9:00 a.m. eastern here this morning on state of the union with candy crowley, her guest senator rand paul and senator dianne feinstein. >> i want to get this in, we just received this. it just came in. ir iran's supreme leader came out against u.s. intervention in iraq claiming that iraq can take care of facing off against isis forces on their own. the ayatollah said sunday during a government meeting that iran strongly opposes u.s. military iraq action in action according to the report from the news agency, he believes that the government and religious authority in the country have to

4:20 am
new search area will be in relation to the previous areas? >> reporter: hey, victor, we don't know specifically where this new search area will be. although if this independent group that came out with their report last week is anything close to what the australian transportation bureau will be announcing then we expect the search area could be hundreds of miles south along this arc that came from all of the satellite data, analysis of the airplane's trajectory, fuel consumption, all of that. we know that this international team has been going over the data t models, trying to figure out if they believe that the search zone was in the right place, and so what we're expecting to be announced on wednesday is that the search zone will be shifting, possibly to the south, this will be in line with what the experts, the doubters so to speak were telling cnn where they pointed to five separate computer models placing this missing plane in a
4:21 am
tight cluster of spots. ironically, this is much closer to the area that searchers were looking at originally before those pings which have now been discounted threw everybody off. this is closer to the area where there were the satellite images, talking about possible debris fields, all of that kind of thrown out when the area shifted north. now we could see it shifting south again as the search continues for this plane and the 239 people on board. >> will, there was -- there were so many resources available on the onset of this crisis. i'm wondering who is going to be conducting this search and how many resources do they have now? this far out? >> this new search area doesn't change the general game plan which is the game plan all along that private assets were going to be brought into the revised search area in august. so the team was going to give themselves some time to go over the data. we're told that process is almost complete. when they announce the new search zone they are going to
4:22 am
bring in private contractors with equipment that can search more quickly, more efficiently than the bluefin 21 which was searching for quite a while and didn't find anything. so t question now is going to be specifically where are these resources going to be deployed? is it in this area further to the south? one thing has stayed consistent, that is that they still believe this plane went down somewhere in the southern indian ocean, but as you guys know it's a huge area. they are trying to pinpoint. it's really still an educated guess. >> yeah. no sign. not as much as a seat belt or luggage. will riply on the search for flight 370. thanks, will. other stories we're following, a body has been found in mt. rainier, washington, three days after a hiker went missing. officials say the body will be identified by the coroner but they have suspended the search. >> the search for karen sykes that is, she was out hiking when she encountered snow and
