i went to michigan state university. they had big pools, nice buildings, newer dorms but it was kind of a distraction. i'm here for an education. >> christine roman, cnn, new york. >> is college worth it? the cnn film "ivory tower" is thursday at 9:00. "ac360" starts now. >> good evening. i'm jim sciutto, anderson is off tonight. we have breaking news on the weather. parts of upstate new york now under two feet of snow, three feet, four feet in places with nearly six feet now in the forecast and it is still coming down as we speak. also, what began with the massacre of four rabbis, including three americans at prayer in a jerusalem synagogue has now claimed another life and is threatening to ignite a religious powder keg. we begin here at home.

when we start stories about crazy cold, it usually goes something like much of the country is in a deep freeze but tonight we can actually say that all of the country is in a deep freeze. this morning all 50 states had at least one location that was below freezing. even hawaii. they're getting the worst of things, though, in and around buffalo, new york where arctic air and the great lakes have come together in a way that stands out, even for this part of the country. new york governor andrew cuomo has declared a state of emergency throughout the area and called in the national guard. our martin savage is battling the elements there for us right now. martin, you're right in the thick of things, one of the hardest hit areas of buffalo. describe to our viewers how bad it is there. >> reporter: this is the south of buffalo and we're on the edge of really the bad area. you can't even get into that. i wanted to show you the snow pile here only because, one, it's huge, it's got to be up to 10, 12 feet in height. there was no snow here at all

yesterday. this is all that is coming in the past 24 hours. yes, that was stabbed up there by the plows, but the rest of it here, this is all that has been falling, mostly today. it started late last night but it's been piling up ever since. and, again, this is not the worst area. you cannot get into the hardest hit areas, driving bans are in place, the roads are clogged by vehicles that have been abandoned. they're trying. this is considered to be extremely hazardous tonight. wind gusts 30-plus miles an hour, wind chills below zero and the snow keeps piling. lake effect is odd. you can now have a clear moment like this. 30 seconds later, sudden whiteout. it's like that in many areas

south of buffalo. major through ways are closed down, trucks and people are trapped and if you're in a vehicle, authorities say even if you're out of gas tonight, do not abandon it, it's just too dangerous. jim? >> you know, i can hear the cold in your voice and that pace you describe is just incredible. can you explain how exactly lake-effect snow is different from a traditional snowstorm? >> reporter: lake-effect snow is something that usually comes this time of year. you need an open body of water. in other words, once the lakes freeze over, they aren't the supply of the snow machine they're creating here. what it is is you get very cold temperature moving across a relatively warm body of water, in this case lake erie at about 40-some degrees. as long as the wind blows, it's going to snow, and it's blowing like a freight train. and it looks like it's going to continue this way off and on through friday. but it's a very narrow area, maybe 20 miles wide. if you're in north buffalo, you might have a dusting. if you're here, you could have

five feet or more by tomorrow, six feet. and they say later in the week another 30 inches. that's 90 plus inches, staggering even by a buffalo measure. jim? >> that's incredible. we feel your pain, martin. and, again, it's only november. thanks very much on cnn in buffalo. is there any relief in sight? we want to get the latest from chad myers. i can't believe i'm saying this after seeing martin in all that snow in buffalo, but buffalo should be gearing up for round two now, is that right? >> that's right. it's going to snow tonight, stop tomorrow and kick back up on thursday. we don't know where that 20 to 30 additional snow would be. could be farther north, could be farther south. but there's a potential for somebody, some area to have seven or eight feet by the time it's done. every single state this morning had one city or more below freezing, even hawaii.

obviously you get to flagstaff it was 32, pensacola was 32 almost all night. but where i grew up, cheektowaga the winner, 51 inches of snow in less than 24 hours. from the buffalo airport to lancaster, there was a difference between three in-- 3 inches and 42 inches today. a difference from one side of the street to the other. but here comes thanksgiving and here comes another cold shot all the way across the eastern part of the country. a lot of people will be driving in this weather. tonight we know people are stranded on the thruway, buses are stranded, you need to stay with the vehicles, just like marty said. the wind chills are so cold, you don't want to be venturing out

in whiteout conditions and not knowing where you're going. make sure the pets are safe, too, they can get lost in 51 inches of snow. >> only nine days till thanksgiving. i'm imagining the travel day in weather like this. chad myers, thank you from the weather center. >> and a truly staggering number of cars and trucks, millions in all from ten different car makers, any which could have an air bag in it prime to explode, explode and shoot sharp pieces of metal at drivers and passengers instead of saving lives. people may have already died from them. federal authorities today took new action. rene marsh joins us now with all the details. rene, these air bags, and you've described them to me before, but what makes them so wrong exactly and how big could this recall have just gotten? >> reporter: well, jim, it just got potentially very large here. we're talking about in nitsa's

estimate, millions and millions of additional cars are recalled. these exploding air bags are shooting out in some cases metal shrapnel and in some cases it's caused injuries and it's been reported it has caused deaths as well. up until now there have been 8 million vehicles recalled by ten different automakers. but this recall up until now has been very specific. they were looking at vehicles in hot and humid states because they felt that the humidity triggered this defect. but today, just hours ago, nhtsa came ford and said they're demanding that the manufacturer of air bag, as well as the all the o-- automakers expand this even wider, in other words, don't just recall in hot and humid states, recall nationwide.

takata, the manufacturer of the air bag, is resisting the recall. >> they thought climate might play a role in lessening the risk in the north than in the south. which automakers are we talking about? >> reporter: on top of the ten automake that's we know already have issued recalls because of this issue, today we know they are looking specifically at ford, honda, chrysler, mazda, as well as bmw. these are vehicles made before 2008. so that's the focus of this new recall that we're hearing from from nhtsa. >> rene marsh, thank you once again. >> sure. >> coming up next, breaking news in the killing of four rabbis, three who are americans in a jerusalem synagogue. the death toll is growing, the

a policeman wounded in the attack as died and tension in jerusalem tonight could scarcely be higher. four rabbis are dead, three americans, one british. president obama today called for calm. >> too many israelis have died, too many palestinians have died. and at this difficult time, i think it's important for both palestinians and israelis to work together to lower tensions. >> that is growing difficult. prime minister netanyahu is promising it come down hard. also as a new skirmish in a sectarian war they believe they can win. before we go further, some of what you're about to see is difficult to see on many levels. two attackers struck at 7:00al, in this orthodox area of

jerusalem. they were armed with guns and butch are knives when they went into the synagogue, taking aim at anybody they could. this comes as just the latest in a string of attacks on israelis seemingly carried out by lone wolves, as well as alleged reprisal attacks on palestinians. given all that's been happening, the natural question is what happens now? joining us, israeli government spokesman mark regev and aaron miller of the woodrow wilson national center. mr. miller has advised secretaries of state and is an author. mark, is there any indication of involvement from hamas, for instance, in either organizing or funding or supporting this attack in any way? >> i at this stage cannot point

with certainty to a specific involvement, a specific terrorist organization that gave a specific order. i do know the following: i do know that groups like hamas, like islamic jihad and unfortunately also the palestinian authority have been praising these sort of attacks, have been putting these sort of murderers up on a pedestal, and that there is a culture being foremented by these palestinian groups and unfortunately also by the p.a., which lends support to hatred and violence in conducting these sort of terrible murders. >> aaron david miller, you've made the point that there are extremists, far right politicians in the israeli government, who are attempting to change the status quo on what's known as the temple mount in israel, the holy sanctuary to try to change the status quo

there. is it your position that those far right politicians contribute to this atmosphere of violence? >> yeah. let me just say first, jim, there's no rationalization or justification for what occurred today. it was a willful act of terror and frankly probably wasn't lone wolf either. there were at least two, maybe three. my explanation as an analyst isn't an effort to justify. there is no justification for this. if you ask me why is this happening now, i think you've got a perfect storm of events. you've got the events this summer, the blood is up among both israeli and palestinians. gaza is now quiet, jerusalem affords an outlet for israeli/palestinian contact a, d i suspect there is a grew growing among civilians to chang

the status quo but some of the minister, some of the knesset members are in fact dedicated and determined at least to create a political atmosphere. so, yeah, if you ask me is this part of the storm here in addition to the incitement of hamas and very unwise words on the part of the palestinian authority, yeah. part of this is, in fact, a consequence of the perception among palestinians that there has been or is an ongoing effort to somehow change the status of these religious sites. and perhaps jerusalem as well. so, yeah, i think it is part of the picture. >> mark regev, i want to give you a chance to respond. again, i'm not creating a false moral equivalence here, but i just wonder as both sides look for a way forward, which is the message from the white house, finding a way forward to calm these tensions, do you believe that there's any validity to that argument, that there are some -- that you need, in

effect, calming statements from both sides now? >> but my prime minister has repeatedly, as the leader of israel, has repeatedly said that there will be no change to the status quo on the temple mount. now, it's true you do have voices in israel, minority voices that want that changed, but the prime minister speaking in the name of the government, he has said unequivocally and repeatedly we won't allow a change, we won't support any change, we are committed to the religious status quo, whereby muslims can pray there and nonmuslims, christians and jews can visit. we are very steadfast and that's not going to change. what's the problem is that you have these radical islamist groups that come out with all these -- how shall i say it -- this language, this rhetoric where the jews are threatening

the temple mount, it's ridiculous. nothing could be further from the truth but this gets out there and out there, and unfortunately it's believed by some. and what was particularly disturbi disturbing is that you saw some of this being repeated by palestinian leaders who consider themselves mainstream leaders. if president abbas says that the jews are polluting or desecrating the temple mount, that's language that is very, very problematic. it's not true. the government of israel has no such intention, yet this libel is repeated until some people believe it. >> thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> you can find this story and more on cnn.com. >> coming up, a video seems to

show a video showing officer wilson arresting someone. and also what is doing to prepare for if officer wilson is not indicted in the death of michael brown. ♪ (man) some things are worth holding onto. they're hugging the tree.

breaks news tonight in ferguson, missouri. we haven't seen or heard from officer darren wilson since he shot and killed michael brown. a newly released video seems to show him arresting another man for videotaping him. he showed up a man's house about a complaint of derelict vehicles on the man's property. >> reporter: he says that is officer darren wilson. cnn obtained an incident report that says wilson is the officer who responded to the home of michael arman. he wrote that resident arman removed his cell phone and began recording. this is what the resident posted on youtube, a brief but

confrontational interaction with the officers. >> sir, i'm not taking a picture. i'm recording this incident, sir. do i not have the right to record? >> no, you don't. >> reporter: the report shows michael arman was eventually arrested on other charges. the city of ferguson would not confirm it was officer darren wilson, citing the poor quality of the video. the aclu said what he said is improper. >> you cannot interfere with the officer but absent that, you have an absolute right to make a recording, a video. >> you get the sense that ferguson is such a pressure cooker right now, what are people saying about the video? >> reporter: a lot of people are talking about that it shows the

character of some of the folks in the department, there are a lot of folks who really do think that is officer darren wilson himself. and, as you know, wilson is the officer who the grand jury is looking into whether or not to indict him for the killing of michael brown. it kind of adds a bit more fuel to the fire, people talking about the way that he handled that situation and the words that he used in that situation. you know, i also want to tell you a little bit about after the governor basically went and declared a state of emergency here. we did notice that more businesses have decided to board up. there is certainly worry that things are going to explode in violence. however, the protesters have said time and again that they are planning peaceful protests, though they will be quite loud, as they have been over the past 90-plus days. jim? >> let's hope that cooler heads prevail there. certainly a great deal of nervousness. sara sidner.

under way in and around ferguson to prepare for that grand jury's decision. as you know, the national guard has been activated and law enforcement is gearing up. preparations, though, are also in full swing on the protest side. stephanie elam reports from ferguson now. >> bottles of water, gloves, scarves, hats, anything to keep us warm. >> reporter: protesters are gearing up to react, staging dry runs of peaceful demonstrations, like this one in clayton, missouri. >> we're not waiting on the decision. we're prepping for the future, even after this decision. >> reporter: a sign of the times, these activists connect via social media and text blasts. for weeks throughout the st. louis area, they have held

meetings to prepare for the grand jury's decision. the people i spoke with don't think wilson will be indicted. >> if he was going to be brought up on charges, they would have done it the week that michael brown was killed. >> reporter: it's clear these protesters are organized. just take a look at this wedding registry set up on amazon for supporters to buy them supplies, like surgical masks, cameras and swim goggles. but determining who is in charge is a challenge. >> people are always looking for so who is the leader? everyone is. we're all very active and we all take our roles very seriously. >> reporter: max peterson came all the way from seattle to participate in the demonstrations. he's staying at a house with other protesters. why does a young white guy from seattle feel motivated to come here from st. louis and be here for a month for this? >> i didn't understand before

august 9th how oppressed black people are in this country. i am white, so it's not my struggle, but i'm here to help them out. >> reporter: when a lone darren wilson supporter showed up at this pro-michael brown rally, a shouting match ensued. yet for some people, it's less about wilson and more about the protesters' response. this white resident is afraid to show her face on camera because she fears retaliation for speaking her mind about the protests. she doesn't appreciate out of towners disrupting life for the people who live here. >> if there's peaceful demonstrations, that's fine. but to have the violence that we've had and from people that are outside of ferguson in the name of ferguson, no, we don't like that. >> reporter: i know you're saying buying groceries but how long are you preparing for? >> several days. i think that we need to plan and

have those plans in place. but hopefully we won't need it. i hope that we can return to a normal life someday. and i don't -- after the rioting has gone. >> stephanie elam joins us now from ferguson. there was a moment in that piece where you had the supporter of officer wilson clashing with the protesters there. you get a sense of the rawness of the emotion. with all the preparation we're seeing on both sides, do you have a sense that both sides are preparing enough to keep that emotion under wraps when that decision comes through? >> reporter: that's the million dollar question at this point, jim. you hear people preparing, you hear them talking about what needs to be done. and one thing that keeps coming up when you talk to the protesters is we don't want something small escalating into something big because police overreact. then when you talk to the people who live here in ferguson, they

say they want to know more about what the police have in store, what they're planning to do if things do escalate. they want more information, but obviously there's a disconnect right now because no one wants to show their cards ahead of this grand jury decision coming to light, jim. >> stephanie elam, thanks very much for being there on the ground for us. more now on the law enforcement side and their notion of preparing for the worst. some call it sensible, some call it overkill. alderman french says "the national guard has called in when policing has failed. melt presence in my city will mark an historic failure on the part of government. and then this is not a war, there is no military solution. alderman french joins us along with reverend white, pastor of the church of peace of mind and

happiness. reverend, do you have see this as a military response like we saw just after the shooting? >> yeah. what i worry is that we may be repeating some of the mistakes that we saw back in august. we want police to deal with individuals who commit individual crimes and not punish entire crowds of people like we saw back in august. i worry that the military presence of national guardsmen will escalate the situation like we saw occur several times back in the early summer. >> pastor white, i wonder, when you look at the fbi bulletin issued, it warns about individuals infiltrating, exploiting the demonstrations to quote, in the words of the bullet continue, incite and engae engage in violence. that was something you saw in august. how concerned are you that it will happen again? >> a little concerned that it could happen again.

i agree with antonio, more concerned with the response of our military being on the ground. i mean, our government, our law enforcement agencies are more than capable of finding out who those individuals are and preventing them from being a part of this protest. they've made it very clear that the majority of the protesters are peaceful, and so why would you have a military response to 95%, 96% of the people who are peaceful? >> to that point, antonio, you also tweeted earlier today that, quote, in your words, "it is hard to keep people calm when officials use phrases like state of emergency." what are you hearing about residents' reaction there? how are they reacting to the preparations? do they have the same fears that you have of a military response like we saw last time? >> well, i think what we've seen in the last few weeks is fear spreading through the community. not only yesterday's announcement that we are in a state of emergency, but, you know, notifications sent home by

local government officials, telling people to stock up on water and food. i think that fear drives people apart. at a time when we need to be trying to work out how we come together as a community both in the short term and the long term, i think these are actually counterproductive. there's too much fear going around. >> those warnings do sound alarming. how do you react when someone tells you to go get basic supplies to get through this. pastor white, you've been meeting with organizers, talking about how to protest safely within the law. what are you telling them to do exactly to avoid what we saw last time? >> well, the first thing is that if the governor and his staff would have really paid attention to the organizers, they have access to go out and communicate with the community at large. rather than issue a state of emergency, maybe they would have understood that the state is actually emerging. we've been meeting with the protesters. there's been several groups of protesters who originally were

planning to respond and react and maybe in a violent way, but they've asked for an opportunity to dialogue with the police and to meet with law enforcement to find out non-violent ways. the martin king center from atlanta has been in the city, and we've talked non-violent response. so the city has actually been emerging towards non-violent and towards peaceful protesting and then we had this thrown in our faces. >> listening to both of you throughout, it seems that you're saying that the protesters have learned lessons from august in terms of how they're going to protest, limit or try to prevent a violent response but that law enforcement may not have. i wonder if that's your view and perhaps we could begin with you, antonio. >> well, i worry. one of the things that protest groups have been asking for is real change within the police departments, both ferguson and some of those departments that made those awful decisions to bring in the heavy artillery

early. none of that happened. so in many cases the same people who were in charge last time are going to be in charge this time as well. so i hope we don't repeat the same mistakes. and what i do notice from being on the ground in august was that many times it was the police presence which actually changed the mood and escalated the situation. and so i worry. and we have an opportunity here to do it right and i hope we do it. >> antonio french, pastor white, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> thanks for having us. >> coming up, head spinning allegations by pennsylvania's top prosecutor. she said some state officials who worked on the jerry sandusky sex scandal case were themselves sharing pornography. and more allegations against

allegations about dozens of pennsylvania officials, including some who investigated former penn state assistant football coach jerry sandusky. jerry sandusky is now serving a 30-to-60 year sentence for sexually abusing more than a

half dozen boys over a decade. it took years before he was charged and brought to trial. now pennsylvania's attorney general claims that many of the officials who worked on the sandusky sex abuse case were at the exact same time breaking the law by using work computers to share hard core porn. s she said a gag order is keeping her from completing her investigation. >> reporter: dozens of state officials in pennsylvania, many who worked to bring down the infamous child molester jerry sandusky have been caught with crude pornographic e-mails. more than 4,000 graphic e-mails were circulated over a four-year period starting in 2008. some of them at the very same time that the very same people

were building a child sex abuse case against sandusky. and the porn being passed around was not for the faint of heart. >> when i saw them, they literally took my breath away. they are deplorable. hard core, graphic, sometimes violent e-mails that had a string of videos and pictures depicting sometimes children, sometimes old women, some of them involved violent sexual acts against women. >> reporter: the e-mails were discovered by state attorney general kathleen cane, who ran for office on the promise that she would investigate why it took three years to charge sandusky after his first victim care forward. while looking into that, her office uncovered the pornographic e-mails. those involved include some of the biggest names in the pennsylvania justice system, a

court justice, a police commissioner and one of the main investigators. the e-mails are so graphic, the chief just wrote "ethey are clearly obscene and may violate the crimes code section on obscenity." but now she can't investigate further and can't name names that have not been made public. are you investigating this now? >> i cannot investigate. i am being stopped from performing my duties as attorney general, my office is being stopped and we are being stopped even from telling why. >> reporter: i'm hearing you say your hands are tied. why are your hands tied? >> my hands are tied and this will be frustrating for you because it's just as frustrating for me. my hands are tied because there are court orders that don't allow us to say certain things, which i believe the public needs to know. >> reporter: to understand why, you have to go back to a public

and very bitter feud between attorney general kathleen cane and the main commissioner in the case. as a result, cane is now being investigated about whether she improperly leaked a memo about a case from 2009 that fina handled. and according to the "philadelphia enquirer," a gag order in that case is keeping cane from moving forward on the porn e-mails. as the state's top prosecutor, you're saying there's a court order that's keeping you from investigating a case that you think and the chief justice on the state supreme court thinks might be illegal. >> that is correct. >> reporter: cane says she believes she did the right thing. frank fina would not comment for this story. do you feel the system is being abused to protect certain

people? >> i knew that i was walking into public corruption, which again is why i ran. but i will tell you this, even i am shocked at the level of public corruption. i am shocked at how deep it goes and i am shocked at how powerful it is. i have never seen anything like this. it's breathtaking. it has been described by the people familiar with what is happening as shameful. >> sara, great reporting. what can you tell us happened to the state employees involved in these e-mails? >> reporter: well, jim, most of the people who have been public i shamed, they lost their jobs, either resigning or being forced out. but the state police commissioner frank noonan still has his job because according to published reports, the governor said there's no proof he opened the e-mails. there are people in the private sector who still have their jobs. >> how about the for the pennsylvania attorney general? what's next for her? >> reporter: well, she testified yesterday before the grand jury and now she waits to see if

she'lli be indicted. that's a whole other case about a grand jury leak and she's under investigation for that leak. the order that she says is preventing her from presenting these e-mail, it doesn't name any names, it's vague. she said she can't take any chances because she could be held in contempt of court and even jailed. >> another woman has come forward saying that bill cosby sexually assaulted her. janice dickinson was a super model in the 1980s. she now has come forward to say that cosby sexually assaulted her in 1982. dick inson joins more than a dozen other women that says cosby raped them. cosby repeatedly said these allegations are untrue. he has never been prosecuted.

really, jean, alarming to say the least. what is dickinson saying exactly happened to her? >> reporter: we have her in her own words. a number of women have come forward. we've heard from them and the stories are strikingly similar. mod modus operandi. this is what she's saying. >> after dinner he gave me wine and a pill and the moment i woke up, i wasn't wearing my pajamas. and i remembered i had been sexually assaulted by this man. the last thing i remember was bill cosby, opening his robe and getting on top of me. and i remember a lot of pain. >> reporter: now, bill cosby has

really spoken out once about this in 2005 to the "national enquirer." he said i am not going to give in to people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status. his lawyer, though, nine years later this weekend spoke out saying just because people are bringing back these allegations and they are saying these things from years gone by, it does not make them true. >> it is shocking for sure. charges, to be clear, were not brought in any of these cases. do we know why that is? >> reporter: for a number of reasons. number one, we haven't heard but from one woman that any of them went to police to then document and have a criminal investigation. but the one woman who filed a civil lawsuit and there was a settlement, undisclosed amount, she did go to police in 2005 alleging that something had happened in 2004, and the district attorney -- then district attorney of pennsylvania just came out yesterday speaking for the first time really in depth saying that a year had gone by and he didn't

have the dna evidence, he didn't have blood samples he needed to see if there were any drugs in her body. he didn't have that evidence and so he didn't believe, as he must under the law beyond a reasonable doubt that he could prove his case, thus no charges. >> we're going to keep reporting on this. thanks very much. an update on our breaking story. the city of buffalo bracing for more than 70 inches of snow. a live update from buffalo right after this. well, did you know certain cartoon characters should never have an energy drink? action! blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. introducing the birds of america collection. fifty stunning, hand-painted plates, commemorating the state birds of our proud nation. blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. ugh...

couple of miles, maybe five, you get this. we've got a bit of a break here so the plows have been trying to make the most of it. it's the front end loaders doing the heavy lifting. i chatted with one of the drivers, he's on his 16th hour. this is too much for the regular plows. they have to lift it and dump it and put it in place. a lot of places they're putting it in dump trucks and hauling it out of town. they've got more snow than they know what to do with. this band is a temporary break. in other places, jim, it is still coming down like crazy. this is historic and dangerous. that according to city officials. there are people they know trapped on the new york thruway and people trapped on regular city streets. many vehicles were abandoned and that's been the problem. the plows can't get through with the vehicles still there. they're trying to haul them out. >> forecasters say more to come. thanks very much. >> we want to get the latest on
