. this is cnn, breaking news. hello, everyone, we start with breaking news. a major u.s. college campus on lockdown after an apparent shooting. it happened at florida state university in tallahassee. and here is what we know so far. cnn affiliate wctv reports a nearby hospital has received two patients with gunshot wounds.

and you can see the heavy police presence on campus in this photo sent out by a wctv reporter. now the university earlier sent an e-mail to students advising of a dangerous situation. that is all they said, just a dangerous situation and telling students to seek shelter away from tour doors or windows. now, the photo editor for the newspaper was on scene. he joins me now on the phone. so talk to us about what you know at this point because we had heard earlier reports that the gunman had been captured. that this was brought to an end. is that the case? are you able to confirm that? >> we know they have a suspect in custody. we can't confirm whether or not it was the gunman or the only gunman at the time. but we do know they have one person in custody. >> now, explain to us what you recall. what happened exactly. what happened on campus there.

we know of course as we just said about this message that was sent out to students on lockdown in essence, so what did you see? and what did you experience? >> well, around 12:30, there were gunshots reported in the main library. soon after, police were on scene. then i showed up outside of the area, the cops, everything was roped off. they brought the victims to the hospital. and they're requesting that everybody stand out there move back, step back from the crime scene. >> and does anybody know at this point who the gunman may be? whether we're talking about a student in this situation or someone from outside the campus? >> we currently have no information on who the gunman may be. >> and what about those two patients that were taken to the nearby hospital? do we know what condition they are in at this point? >> it has not been released yet.

their information or their condition. we just know that people are being treated at tallahassee memorial hospital. >> all right, matthew pasco, thank you so much for talking to us here on cnn, we appreciate it. >> certainly a very scary moment for not just students but residents here in tallahassee, florida. let's connect with a sports editor of the university student paper and joins us now on the phone. perry, it is just past 2:00 a.m. there. at this time of year you would expect students to be in the library preparing for finals. the person we just spoke to earlier said you would have hum hundreds of people in the library. tell us what you saw, what you heard and what you know at this hour. >> well -- i got the emergency alert. and so i was first informed of the situation that way. and then you see twitter -- >> perry, just walk us through

this slowly. that emergency alert that you received. what was it? and what did it say exactly? >> actually -- the incident, we get them in text messages. they come out if there is a situation that is potentially dangerous. the alert was, danger situation, seek shelter immediately away from doors and windows. when we get an alert like that we assume maybe it is a minor thing, weather, tornado something like that coming. and so then when we figure out there is a gunman it is a very surreal feeling, unreal kind of thing. >> and what about the location? we keep hearing that this is centered around the library. but that it was audible. this was able to be heard by the building just next to it. so can you give us a sense of the geography of all of this? >> well, the library is located in the heart of campus. there is a big green area

surrounding it. the layout during all the hours of the day. all roped off by the police. the building surrounding it, the other libraries, they're in there all hours of the day. they were next to it. i talked to a student next to it in the building, he said they heard the noise. they got scared and ran out of their building before they were put on lockdown. >> and what can you tell us about the scene right now? where were you hunkered down, did you see activity outside and were you getting a sense that possibly the worst was over? >> there is definitely a sort of calm. everybody is being evacuated, kind of the process of figuring out why this happened. what led to this. the campus is completely empty. typically there are people walking around on the campus, going to get something to eat, stuff like that. all the emergency lights are

flashing on and on. very, very surreal feeling. >> but as far as you can tell, there is no continuing fear. there does seem to be a sense that the police presence -- the police are there. a suspect is in custody. and there is as you mentioned just this kind of eerie calm at the moment? >> yes, definitely, definitely. the fear that that happened is still there, but the fear of more happening is now gone down, but dealing with just happened. >> okay, that is perry kostadakis, the editor of florida state university in tallahassee, florida, where apparently there has been a serious incident in the library at the heart of campus. possibly two people treated for gunshot wounds. and it is possible the suspect is now in custody. but all of this, rosemary, taking place about two hours ago

or at least being reported two hours ago in the middle of the night, end of the year. so many students would have been in the library prepping for finals. focusing on their own worlds with headphones in, and reading all of this material. all of this unfolded. so a scary situation that at least perry seems to feel is over at this moment. but all of this still is unfolding. >> let's go to blair stokes now who is a florida state university student who was actually in the library that was just evacuated. so blair, talk to us about what you saw and what you heard. >> well, i was studying in the library. and all of a sudden, i hear like the fire alarm doors kind of go off. like if number had just opened the fire alarm. and so this girl just comes walking up. somebody has a gun in the library. everybody just looked around a little bit. we all just looked at each other. we were like why would somebody

joke about this. i just kind of moved to the back and started tweeting. i thought oh, what is going on, people probably know about this. and yeah, that is where i went. >> so blair, when did you realize that you were dealing with a real situation here and what did you do? did you all evacuate at that particular point? >> we couldn't evacuate until the cops told us we could. we actually had like a police escort. so most of the time like for this -- most of the past hours, like we were just waiting up there, waiting for cops to get us out. now we were all going out with the contact information. >> so the police were on the scene very quickly from the sounds of it. did you get -- >> yeah, they were, they were. >> did you see the gunman at any point or not? >> i didn't see the gunman. but i saw cops -- like from the fourth floor window i saw cops running around with guns. that was at the point where we knew it was really serious. >> and have you spoken to some

friends, any of the people that you know -- did anyone actually see this gunman? >> i don't think anyone saw the gunman. from what i heard it was just people massively moving and leaving all of their stuff and doing everything they could to go upwards in the library and evacuate that first floor. >> and blair, at this point we're hearing from various students from there that the suspect is perhaps in custody. we don't have confirmation of that. but it appears from what we're hearing that the danger is at an end. is that your understanding? is that what the police are saying to you? >> yeah, that is my understanding right now. what we heard was that the gunman had been shot. and that -- the police have him in custody. >> and was it the police that told you that? >> no, it was not the police. >> all right, so we have no

confirmation at this point. >> they made an announcement that they caught the gunman. >> right, that is the critical -- >> yeah. and so at that point we were a little relieved. but we also still had to wait. because we didn't know the situation on our floors at all. so they came up with like huge guns and a dog with them. and they told us to put our hands up. we called the cops, so we did that. they searched all of us and then brought us down. >> and we're looking at these pictures. i understand they -- are they your pictures, blair, that we're looking at? yes, so these are your pictures. you were taking these, as this was all unfolding. so you pretty much seem to have taken it in stride. would that be a good characterization of how you dealt with this situation? >> yes, so -- i don't know. i just -- i didn't see anything in particular. but i am still shaking just because i have never had anything happen to me like this.

this close to home. like this is always stuff you hear about happening at other scho schools. like there are other crazed gunmen at other colleges, not florida state. so i think this is another issue of gun control and how we could be doing more in america. >> yeah, and dave. we're looking at all of these pictures, you have taken them and posted them from this incident. and how long ago was it that you felt that this had come to an end? >> let's see, i felt it had come to an end -- kind of like midway through when they said they were going to bring the cops up to evacuate us. and they kept reiterating that. >> right, and what is the scene there now? >> right now it is a bunch of kids on their phone, we're all sitting here trying to make sense of it. >> and sharing stories no doubt trying to assess what happened.

>> yeah, they're all -- >> blair stokes, a student there at florida state university joining us on the line. very quickly got photoings of this as the drama was unfolding. posted the photos on her facebook page. maybe thanks to you, blair stokes for sharing your story with us. >> and the positive development there if you listen to what blair told us, what perry, the sports editor told us, they all received this text message and immediately it seems they were able to mobilize. the police, the unfortunate truth in the united states is these school shootings are becoming more and more common and schools do have the plans in place for if and when it happens. and at this moment, there were no deaths reported. we do have two people treated for gunshot wounds at the hospital. but it seems as though officials

and the police and the school was able to clamp down quite quickly if you listen to what blair was saying. now, whatever the chaos was, it ended. the police are there, and the students it seems have been moved to a safe place. >> all right, indeed. we'll take a short break right now and we'll be back on the other side here on cnn. do stay with us. uil but i'm stil stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose. (breath of relief) oh, what a relief it is. thanks. anytime.

we are back with you now

with this breaking news from florida state university. it appears at this point that the shooting incident we reported a little earlier has concluded. now, we don't have confirmation of that but certainly from the students we have spoken to it appears the gunman may be in custody. there was some suggestions that the gunman had been shot. again, we don't have confirmation of that. but certainly on the scene there, it is a calmer situation. earlier there had been a message sent out of a dangerous situation telling students to take cover. the incident, we understand, took place in the library there. students were preparing for exams. but at this point we are happy to report even though two have gone to hospital with gunshot wounds we understand this has come to a close. >> yeah, all of this still kind of unfolding and coming to us. this was first reported roughly two hours ago. it would be right in the middle of the night there at florida state university in the library where many students are prepping

for finals. and the schools sent out the message saying it was a dangerous situation. based on the students that we've talked to it seems as though things have calmed down. as soon as we get the confirmation of that we'll bring it to you as the hour moves on. >> yeah, we'll certainly do that. let's move on ourselves to other stories we need to bring to you. people in buffalo, new york, are describing a practically non-stop snowstorm as the worst they have seen in nearly 40 years. upwards of two meters of snow has fallen and more is on the way. the death toll from the storm now stands at seven. some of the victims suffering cardiac arrest from all the shoveling. rescuers are working two times, three shifts in a row. and officials say they' s say t budget for the entire year is likely gone. >> and that is a problem because more snow is on the way.

there is a travel ban in the area. you do have snowmobiles doing the majority of the work and rescuing. more on the story. >> reporter: it is probably heavier than anything that we have seen in over 40 years. >> it's too much. it is just really a lot of snow here. >> reporter: the deadly storm has residents struggling to cope and officials scrambling to protect them. >> stay home, if you do have to go out please exercise caution. >> new york governor andrew cuomo has declared a state of emergency in the buffalo area. crews are bringing in front end loaders and dump trucks to take the snow out of the hardest hit areas. >> more than 230 truck loads of snow in south buffalo. over 5,000 tons of snow that have been removed. >> people in buffalo are used to snow, but this storm dumped almost five feet in some spots,

almost an entire season's snowfall in some areas. the national weather service says another one to three feet could fall in new york in the next several hours. we climbed into the engine after they received an urgent call. bob, what call did you just get? >> partial collapse of a building, a trailer park. >> but the snow that caused the problem hinders the rescue. the hoerps chan-- homeowners ch minds and didn't want to be frustrated. >> in a couple of hours when the snow flies, she will want to be evacuated. >> and also a bus, with students trapped on their bus for 24 hours. >> it just kept piling up, piling up. there was just no way for us or any other cars to get through as well. >> and beth hocsnaji delivered

her baby early. >> her name, lucy grace, it would be grace illuminated. but it is so sad how many people died. this baby is such a bright light in such a dark storm. >> the ban is in effect for the entire buffalo area. a lot of people are still not heeding the warnings. what rescuers and first responders have to do, use these vehicles to rescue the stranded motorists. the front end loaders and others to rescue those who are still stranded on the roads. brian todd, cnn, cheektowaga, new york. and there is said to be progress over a deal with iran's nuclear program. but with the deal just days away, there is skepticism. they are holding talks now in vienna. >> yes, but sticking points include iran's uranium

enrichment capacity and how the sanctions will be lifted if a deal is made. but some insist no deal would be better than a bad deal. >> right now i think it is going to be difficult to get to where we want to go. it is not impossible. it depends on whether or not iran takes the steps it must take to convince us, our partners that its program would be for entirely peaceful purposes. >> and objections from the west are the only okbstacles to the deal. we just saw a glimpse there of the u.s. political situation. but hard liners in tehran may not want the more moderate president to make the necessary concessions to seal a deal. >> reporter: indeed, that is a

possible, errol. if you listen to the talks about the deal, some say they want a deal. if you walk the streets of tehran, the majority want a deal. just like you see in washington, in tehran there are individual groups who can play the potential role of spoiler if they don't believe this agreement meets their interests. inside, they are looking at nuclear agreements between the world powers. dozens of hard line iranian lawmakers who don't trust washington and don't want to give an inch. we don't trust them says the lawmaker. we have no trust for the west. especially the americans and the british. we trusted them in the past and we paid a heavy price, says the

lawmaker. we're only after the interests of our country. for the past year, ever since the administration of moderate president rouhani started to negotiate with the west, some hardliners criticized him saying he is appeasing the enemy and compromising. they warned him not to sign a deal that crosses iran's red lines which includes keeping intact iran's nuclear programs and accepting nothing left than the lifting of all western sanctions. we expect the sanctions to be lifted right away, says this lawmaker. >> we can't back down more than this. we give the west even one inch they will take ten. even though we want peace and good relations with the world, rest assured we're not willing to do it at any price.

what is remarkable is how warnings by hard liners here in iran mirror those in washington where a republican-led congress is warning u.s. president barack obama against the bad deal. the warnings drive home the political tensions surrounding the talks in both capitals. in washington, analysts say, republicans in congress don't want obama to score what could be seen as a foreign policy victory with an agreement. in tehran, it is hard liners who see a nuclear deal by moderate president rouhani as a potential blow to their political aspirations and a threat to iran's 35-year-old anti-american policy. they are playing politics, but i think the west wants an agreement, so do we. but only if it is fair. >> if there is an agreement in

vienna, it won't be finalized in iran without approval from parliament. so technically, they could scuttle an agreement, but the final agreement rests with the leader and if he approves the deal it is very likely that parliament won't complain. errol? >> it is just fascinating, some believe they are more concerned with their political future. reza sayah, thank you, just approaching the morning in iran. all right, we'll take a very short break here. but still to come here on cnn, former super model janice dickinson is one of the latest women to accuse bill cosby of sexual assault. we'll hear more on that story straight ahead. accident...

(train horn) vo: wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. norfolk southern. one line, infinite possibilities. . welcome back, everyone. well, the nbc television network has dropped plans to develop a new bill cosby sitcom, amid the growing sexual assault allegations against him. the move follows netflix's decision to put its new comedy on hold, and cable channel tv land has pulled reruns of the cosby show from its programming schedule, as well. now, this news comes from his

former supermodel janice dickinson is now one of the women lining up against bill cosby. cosby's lawyer calls the allegations a lie. >> reporter: former supermodel janice dickinson becomes comedian bill cosby's most notable recent accuser, who says he raped her in 1982. >> the last thing i remember was bill cosby -- in a robe, opening his robe and getting on top. and i remember a lot of pain. >> reporter: in a statement to cnn, cosby's attorney marty singer fires back. janice dickinson's story accusing bill cosby of rape is a lie. there is a glaring contradiction between what she is claiming now for the first time and what she wrote in her own book and what she told the media back in 2002.

dickinson released her autobiography in 2002, "no lifeguard on duty." she describes an encounter with cosby in tahoe, she says she wouldn't go into his hotel room because she was exhausted. in the book, she says this was his reply. exhausted after all i have done for you, that is what i get? i'm exhausted? but in 2006, she was a guest on howard stern's radio show saying she was not allowed to tell the whole story in her book. >> bill cosby was the only guy i couldn't write about in the book because they were afraid of lawsuits. >> you're saying the book company won't allow you to write about people? >> too afraid, let me just say, he is not a nice guy, he preys on women who just come out of rehab, i'll say that. >> cosby's camp says otherwise, the publishing camp wouldn't comment. at least four other women spoke

out against him. one of those is andrea constant, who says she was assaulted by cosby in 2004, she didn't report it to police until 2005. bruce caster of montgomery county, pennsylvania, spoke to cnn about why she didn't file charges in the case. >> the desire on our part to move forward was pretty strong. but because of the delay, i couldn't check her blood to see if there was any metabolites of that drug in her. >> cosby spoke out on that matter the same year the first and only time, telling the national inquirer, i am not going to give in to people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status. the case did settle in 2006 for an undisclosed amount of money. a man who says the comedian mentored him for much of his career wonders if money is the motive here. >> the bill cosby i know, the guy is have been around, he is not the guy i know.

he treats women with the utmost respect. >> again, that was jean casarez. >> and security is tight after the worst terror attack there in years. we'll take you live to jerusalem with the latest. also, we'll recap our breaking news out of florida after this show break. have a heart attack. but i did. i'm mike, and i'm very much alive. now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen.

this is cnn breaking news. and thank you for joining us, i'm rosemary church. and i'm errol barnett. we want to recap our story at

this hour there are reports that at least two people were wounded. in this is in tallahassee, several people we talked to said it happened in the campus library. a real central location. and the pictures you see here from our cnn affiliate show a heavy police presence in the area. the condition of those wounded is not yet known, it is still unclear. the gunman was captured or killed. the students we spoke to believe the situation is under control. it is just past 2:30 a.m., and we're standing by to hear from officials who are expected to update the media and find out what took place. in the meantime, let's connect with one of the witnesses who was there a short time ago. alexandria, i understand you were close to where this incident took place. bring us up to speed and tell us

what happened tonight. >> yeah, i was sitting with my brother and friends on the first floor. and it happened about 50 feet away from us. we heard the gunshots. and it was in a matter of seconds the entire first floor went into chaos. >> and alexandria, just confirm for us the location. are you speaking of the first floor of the library? >> no, they have evacuated students from -- they cleared each floor of the library and moved us into a neighboring building where they have students here waiting for buses to move us from campus. >> okay, and you said you can hear the gunshots. if you can just remember how many did you hear? was it a sequence of shots or a single shot? >> when we were on the first floor, we heard two shots. but while we were being moved up

a stair well, we -- while on the third floor we heard from outside about five or six rifle shots go off. quick fire. it was -- we were told later that the gunman was shot and killed by the police. >> and alexandria, i can still hear the fear in your voice. i'm sure this was a horrific thing to be so close to. just tell me what was going through your mind and what you were thinking as you saw the police around you and all the other students trying to figure this out. >> it was very scary. it -- i'm just more heartbroken than anything else. it means a lot to me. my parents met here. and i graduated last fall for my undergraduate, and i'm back for

my graduate degree. it is sad -- my heart goes out to the students affected. and the entire student body, we're all -- we're a family. and this is hitting us very hard. >> yeah, i can just imagine. and it sounds like you're still understandably in shock. alexandria lauren there, a graduate student there at florida state university. a witness to what unfolded, speaking there of two initial shots. students being hurried and rushed out to a safe place. and then five or six more shots heard and then the information to this student from officials that the suspected gunman, i guess, was shot and killed. we are still waiting for confirmation on these details. and the officials are expected to brief the media here shortly. as soon as that happens we'll bring it to you live. but for the moment, let's take a look at other stories we're following. >> and errol, let's turn to

jerusalem now where the israelis are reeling from the deadliest terror attack since 2008. the security is tight there after two palestinians murdered four rabbis and fatally wounded a policeman on tuesday morning. now police shot and killed the assailants. and now their homes and those of other attackers are being demolished. that is the policy there. now, this is the home of the man who killed two people when he drove into a crowd last month. now, we want to turn and get the latest now. we'll go to jerusalem, live. so atika, two days after this deadly attack how are people coping and coming to term wis w the aftermath of this violent incident in. >> well, fortunately in the last two days there have not been any copycat or revenge attacks as a result of that. things have remained relatively calm, that is a good thing.

many people are grateful for that. but it is still a city on edge, especially where the attack took place. blood on the sacred areas, this is the image seared. but after the attack, a determination to return to prayers and a normal life despite the lingering fear that this attack may change the bloody conflict for the worse. >> this attack in a synagogue, slaughterers, come in like butchers. we don't believe revenge is something we need to do. god will run the world. and take care of what needs to be done. >> religion has always been a key element of this conflict, a fight for holy land. temple mount for jews, sacred to both.

but violent attacks on places of worship have been relatively rare. in the last two weeks, two mosques have been set ablaze, copies of the koran. and now signs say jews employ jews. after school, children come to the grocery store, just a few meters from the synagogue. he insists that the attackers did not work here. but three of the victims, he says, did shop here. and he recounted what happened when a young son of one of the rabbis walked in just after the attack. >> you couldn't see any sign -- he didn't grasp it, what happened to him. >> he says he let the boy pick his favorite candy and under urm

to go home. the only comfort he could offer a child who was unable to understand the horror so close to home. and there is extra security being deployed in some areas. yesterday, my colleague was in east jerusalem where there are a number of roadblocks, police there checking on identities, stopping people. so there is that nervousness here, but so far things have remained calm, rosemary. >> yes, and i wanted to talk about that point, atika, we learned the security has been stepped up and boosted. residents are still feeling vulnerable in the wake of this attack. what are they saying to you about it? >> well, the fact that the attack happened in the synagogue during the prayer in the middle of western jerusalem shocked many people here. as we said it is relatively rare to see an attack like this only a place of worship. so it really has shaken things up here across the country frankly. and what we're seeing is a reaction, people are asking for

more security. loosening of the gun laws to allow civilians to carry guns for example in the event of an attack. and there has even been reaction, for example, in the city of ashkelon near the border of gaza. clearly there has been an overreaction in certain areas but it goes to show the kind of fear and tension that is gripping people here as a result. i have to say not only of this attack but the series of attacks that have happened over the last few weeks. >> totally understandable, atika shubert reporting there live from jerusalem, thank you so much. and live after the break, the immigration debate is in full swing. president obama moving forward with his plan, but the republicans have differing opinions. we'll have more after this short break.

welcome back, we want to bring you some new information just coming into cnn. more punishments now being handed down in the sewol ferry disaster in korea. he was sentenced to ten years in prison by a district court for the involuntary manslaughter of 300 people from the disaster. the judge said he had the ship

overloaded with cargo, causing it to become unbalanced. that is what apparently led to this tragedy. he was also found guilty of violating the law, embezzling company funds and taking kickbacks from subcontractors. so an additional person getting a jail term, the captain you may remember already received a 30-year jail sentence. now, in the absence of action, president obama is still moving forward with immigration reform by executive order. mr. obama announced his plans on his facebook page. he will address the nation thursday night to outline the specific details of his plan. now, there are 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the u.s. more than half are from mexico. and about a quarter of them live in california. that is nearly 3 million people. >> and all of this will have a very big impact on the lives of millions of people. still, angry republicans are vowing to stop the president's

executive order in its tracks. >> yes, president obama met with congressional democrats at the white house to discuss the plan. michelle kosinski has a preview of what it is supposed to include. >> reporter: president obama announced his impending announcement on facebook. >> what i will lay out is the things i can do with my lawful authority as president to make the system work better even as i continue to welcome with congress and encourage them to get a bipartisan comprehensive bill that can solve the entire problem. >> tomorrow, 8:00 p.m., on television he will unveil his plan. that, according to sources is likely to offer work permits and defer deportation to more than 3 million people, including the undocumented parents of children who were american citizens or have some legal status already if those parents have been living in the u.s. for a number of years. it could expand the same allowances that the president granted in 2012 to people brought here illegally as children, known as "dreamers."

but sources say it will not include the parents of the dreamers and is not a path to citizenship but a temporary renewable right to stay and work. leaving some groups to complain that the president's action won't do enough. the director for the white house policy said this about it. >> the president has said he didn't have the authority to act. >> i wish i could just bypass congress and change the law myself. but that is not how democracy works. >> the white house answered a bit differently. >> an impartial observer would conclude that the president has sought to maximize the use of his authority to solve the problems and frankly, i believe the people of america expect the president to do this. >> but the republcans are angry over what they call emperor

obama, far overstepping his legal bounds. >> if he goes through this and sticks his finger in the eye of the american people with no thought about it, other than this is what i want to do, i'm going to do, he jeopardizes long-term the democrats ever to get back in power in washington, d.c. >> the white house says this action, though, will have a strong legal foundation and that it will be fully implemented. michelle kosinski, cnn, the white house. so what exactly will the u.s. president announce? well, you will have to tune in and watch the whole thing live right here on cnn. 1:00 a.m. on friday if you're watching in london, 9:00 a.m., if you're in hong kong, 8:00 p.m. eastern here in the u.s. >> all right, so the interim director of the u.s. secret service is promising a bottom to top assessment of the agency after a series of lapses. he called the multiple failures to stop a fence jumper from reaching deep into the white house devastating.

>> joe clancy appeared before a congressional committee saying the incidents require immediate action and longer term reform. listen to this. >> without question, the agency has been severely damaged by failures ranging from disgraceful misconduct to operational breakdowns to undermine the trust that previous generations worked so hard to establish. >> clancy says the taller fence at the white house is one of the changes being considered. >> and that is a serious note. >> a good idea. >> the fact you need a taller fence when you're supposed to have staff there to protect it in the first place. whatever you can. in mexico, a holiday celebrate i celebrating a century-old revolution is expected to turn into one of mass protests instead. >> yes, supporters of the 43 students presumed murdered plan protests on thursday. parents of the missing students

marched earlier this week, and continue to demand the government act to find their loved ones. it has been nearly two months now since the students were last seen alive. >> and you're going to want to see this. a lucky escape for a pedestrian in eastern china. take a look at the video. we'll show you as the man there tries to cross this intersection, slam! when a truck and car enter the picture they collide. and the man was as you see almost crushed, but no, he manages to get out of the way and then realizing he can actually help turns around there. the vehicles were damaged. but thankfully no one was injured. >> i suspect he will relive that moment many times over. >> lucky guy, very lucky break. all right, i want to turn to the weather now and more snow, potentially rain by this weekend, creating dangerous conditions in parts of western new york. let's talk to pedram javaheri, who joins us with more. this has just been extraordinary watching the snowfall.

the quantity is just outrageous. >> it doesn't look like it will end at least in the next day, guys. this will be a disastrous scenario shaping up in the next few days. we talked about the amount, a meter plus, all of this has to go somewhere. we know more snow, similar amounts are expected to come down in the next couple of days. you noticed 65 inches, about 100 or so centimeters just south. and the enhanced moisture comes in right through the region. you take a look at the perspective, the snow band itself, about 30 kilometers or 18 miles across so again, very isolated regions south of buffalo. this perspective shows you the camera in downtown looking south of town showing you where all of the snow was coming down. so picture what we're trying to see here. when you try to remove this much snowfall, of course, you take a
