. desperation and fear continue for two japanese hostages still being held by isis. now some 28 hours after the group's ran some deadline. we're following all the developments coming up. israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu will soon be making his way to the u.s. but it's not likely we'll get the red carpet treatment from the white house. and wait until you see what one ambitious 13-year-old boy did with his legos and that's likely to help so many. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world i'm max foster let's get straight to the top stories this hour. it's 1 p.m. in saudi arabia where the new king says he plans to keep the country on the same track as his late half-brother. king abdullah was laid to rest on friday after his death at the age of 90. the ceremony was short and

somber in keeping with tradition. king salman takes over a country surrounded by turmoil, particularly in yemen to the south and iraq to the north. let's bring in cnn live from jordan. before we look at the challenge ahead for the if you king what will happen today because the ceremonies continue it don't they? >> reporter: yes. over the next several days max, the royal court will be open for those who are coming to pay tear respects to the royal family and to the saudis. we are expecting this in the next several hours to see the arrival of world leaders and dignitaries, will you go king abdullah of jordan here who cut short his visit to the world economic forum, the president of ee swript and also prince charles will be headed to saudi arabia and also vice president

joe biden yesterday announcing that he will lead in the coming days a presidential delegation that will be going to saudi arabia. so today we expect to see more of those world leaders and dig thaers arriving to greet the new king and also pay their respects to the late king abdullah. >> and the new king has set out a plan for continuity from what the previous king was -- in terms of his strategy but there's a new set of dynamics that he'll have to deal with and he's a different king so how do you think he will first of all, deal with those regional challenges? he's a major player there. >> reporter: absolutely. saudi arabia has been playing a key role in the region especially since 2011 with the arab upricings that we saw here in the region something that really alarmed saudi arabia but of course if you look at the country's own borders, there's concerns about what surrounds saudi arabia. king salman really inn art ago

country with so much turm oil around it. it's southern borders, what is going on in yes, ma'am ens, of course saudis would be concerned now seeing -- sun gee saudi arabia would be concerned with what it's seeing taking place in the capital with the sheia movement and of course concerns about this this political chaos and vacuum in in yemen, giving more power to an already present al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, aqap a lot of concerns with saudi arabia already crushing really al qaeda over the past few years. they will be concerned about that. and also to the north if you look at the rise of isis there, another concern for saudi arabia just last month an attack on saudi border guards believed to be carried out by isis on its border with iraq.

so a lot of concerns about that max, and also the relationship with iran those two countries have been rifles. sheia, iron sooun yi saudi arabia drug willing to try to dominate this region and there has been concern about this proxy war really increasing sectarian tensions in the region and also leading to bloody conflicts that we have seen. a couple of months ago an iraqi official in baghdad told me that in order to see an ease in this violence if the region to see a real change there must be reconciliation he said between riyadh and iran. so this is the big changs ahead. >> many dynamics within the country itself. this is the country where women can't drive, it's the country that holds public executions but actually abdullah within the

nation was seen as very progressive, wasn't he? do you think the new king will continue along those lines and potentially allow women to driervgs for example, one day? >> reporter: this is what -- this is one of the big questions. it doesn't seem experts don't believe that there will be much change from what we saw under king abdullah although some believe that king salman might be a bit more on the conservative side or more trying to apiece the conservatives. now, king abdullah did have this reputation among some world leaders of course and also within the country about being sort of a cautious reformist, especially when it came to things like women's rights but critics and watchdog groups do say that these have been really -- there have been really marginal gains in the past decade under king abdullah especially when it came to women's rights. as you mentioned, yes, there was really a bit of allowing women, expanding their employment rights when it came to bringing

them into the government. very few did, of course but, as you mentioned, women still cannot drive and also there's a guardianship law that basically women need men, relatives, brothers husbands fathers to really allow them to get passports or jobs in search cases or travel. so real challenges ahead when it comes to really trying to reform the country, give more rights and especially when it comes to women's rights and freedom of expression. max. >> okay. thank you very much indeed for bringing us that. back with you throughout the day as those international delegations arrive in riyadh. now, the isis deadline for japan to pay a ransom for two hostages has apparently expired and there's no word on their fate. on tuesday the terror group cold japan it had 72 hours to pay $200 million or the men would be

killed. it's difficult for you to cover isn't it will it point because it's pretty much an information vacuum? >> reporter: it is. and there's so much misinformation that's circulated around online right now or perhaps, i don't know if we can say definitively if it's misinformation but it's certainly not confirmed. you have a lot of jihadist websites twitter accounts that have been tweeting now for hours different -- different near wrees about what's happening, different timelines of when we're going to hear from isis and yet it has been eerily silent and in many ways -- well it's a difficult story to cover. it's much more difficult for these families the families of kenji goto and haruna yukawa because at least leading up to this deadline max, they had hoped that there was something going to happen and then there was a deadline and then the deadline came and the deadline went nothing interest isis and so the mood here now is that

something could happen at any moment. will could be a video that could pop up there could be this long awaited statement that isis has been saying for more than 24 hours a speaks person for the group has been saying is going to be made and yet here we are with nothing new to report and just continuous ago thee for these families. >> ransoms are very controversial, paying ransoms, because it's seen as a pay of feeding the isis machine if you sum come to them of course but what's the mood in the country? is there a sense that the government should be considering paying isis to get these two people out? >> reporter: i mean like as as with any issue there obviously are people that are on both sides of the opinion, but i would say that my sense from interviews from media coverage from reading about this story extensively is that most people here do not feel that japan should put money into the hands of a terror group like isis. the reason for that is exactly as you said it gives them more

tools to conduct more harm and perhaps buy more weapons. there are some people here who while they add hire kenji goto for crossing into syria to try to help her friend they also feel like these men took on this risk and ignored the warnings to stay away from a very dangerous area. so they question whether the government should spend taxpayer money and also question whether it's ethically the right thing to do to fund a terrorist organization with a ransom. >> which will rip lee thank you very much indeed. it's a tranl i didn't think story. now, a colorado woman was sentenced to four years in prison on friday after admitting she tried to become an isis bride. she told the court she was not a danger to anyone and was misled by isis. she was arrested at denver's airport last year after she told investigators she was fleeing to turkey to marry an isis member. prosecutors say they hope the sentence sends a clear message to any american who may seek to join the terror group.

houthi rebels tighten their group on the town of sanaa leading the president and other officials to resign. it leads no one in charge of the government and it's unclear what role the houthis want for themselves. >> reporter: yemen really lurching into the unknown and as each day passes it is not clear who is in charge of the country. greater chaos grows and with that less of a chance of a solution. we hear reports around the country that the previous government thinking about sus seeding, they're immediately denied and very little clear process ahead. the houthis perhaps undermined blind-sided by president hardy's decision to leave his job after his prime minister and kwab net resigned hours earlier, he had little choice and one foreign minister referred to that decision as naming and shaming the process that the houthis have dragged the yemeni government through.

the dominance on the streets, they could engineer a deal in which they would use that dominance to rewrite the constitution and put key owe tishls in government ministries. president hardy effectively a figurehead perhaps powerfulless as he said part of that process. the question what process exists? there could be a meeting in the weeks ahead. some say the speaking of parliament is the acting president but the houthis have any with that technical process going forward or different plans. some also talking about whether the president's resignation is official. if he doesn't show up for the job it's hard to call him the head of the yemen. the fear going the longer that that tick stand off or vacuum continues, the harder it will be to piece the various parts of the administration and government and yemen back together again. one outstanding question where does the former regime of president salad first into all this? some suggests he may offer

himself as a solution an arbiter to keep the country together the houthis very confident at this stage. they have seen a substantial change in yemen's politics through use of force in their favor. it's going to be hard to see how a political solution offers itself up easily in the days ahead. nick paton walsh cnn. >>. the minister of foreign affairs says at least ten people including children have been killed in a shelling attack in the port city. the city's police chief says pro russian separatists are responsible. this comes after the leader of a pro rugs rebel group rejected talks with ukraine. that blunt statement from the leader of the self proclaimed people's republic came friday as he met with university students. a un human nights group said 51 people have been killed in the conflict in eastern ukraine

yees's peace efforts, but frustrations reached new heights after a top white house official used an expletive to describe netanyahu, says in an interview with atlantic mag glean he had, quote, no guts to make peace with the palestinians. u.s. owe tishls say secretary kerry who in the last month made more than 50 phone calls to allies on behalf of israel and international criminal court is running out of patience. >> if the administration wants to get anywhere on the israel palestinian issue, on dealing with iran on stabilizing the region they're going to have to find a way to manage their relationship with -- with israel. >> reporter: u.s. officials insist washington support for israel's security will remain despite political tensions, but the timing couldn't be worst as the middle east itself treaters on the brink. u.s. officials accuse prime minister netanyahu of using his visit to washington and his

the nfl confirms for the first time that the new england patriots used underinflated footballs in their playoff game against the indianapolis colts. it's a sigd update in the scandal known as deflate-gate. rich al nick coles reports. >> reporter: after five days of headlines and controversy over deflate-gate the nfl finally broke its silence, releasing a statement confirming the new england patriots were in fact using underinflated footballs in the first half of their afc championship win over the indianapolis colts. the nfl also confirmed officials inn spektd the footballs prior to the game and found them to be within the rules then. so now the question become how did the air escape those footballs? and who, if anyone is responsible? the nfl says it's been investigating that since sunday, speaking with more than 40 people both in and out of the patriots organization. on thursday quarterback tom brady said he had not yet spoken to investigators, but both he

and head coach bill bilicheck insisted they had nothing to do with the underinflated footballs. >> any alter the ball in any way. to tell you in my entire coaching career i have never talked to any player staff member about football air pressure. >> i have no knowledge of anything. i have no knowledge of any wrongdoing. >> reporter: but several former players have expressed skrept sichl. >> those balls were deflated somebody had to do it and i don't believe there's an equipment manager in the nfl that would on his own initiative deflate a ball without the starting quarterback's approval. i just -- i just didn't believe what tom brady had to say. >> it's obvious that tom brady had something to do with this or the ball then deflated that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen. i can assure of you that. >> brady also has his defenders, including staunch support in his

own locker room. >> tom is a big boy. he know how to handle all situations so he'll handle this with class like he always do. for him to be attacked the way he did, tru me we've been attacked plenty of times around here individually and as an organization and as a team so it's not our first rodeo. >> reporter: patriots owner is pledging complete transparency and cooperation with investigators, which including ted wells, the high profile criminal attorney who last season wrote the nfl's report on the miami dolphins bullying scandal. the miami investigation took about three months and his inclusion could be a signal that this will be a prolonged affair. that's key because being able to say there's an ongoing investigation will allow the patriots and commissioner roger goddell to sidestep questions about it in the week leading up to the super bowl. of course that doesn't mean the questions won't keep coming. and just a reminder the new

all, continuity but never in the desert kingdom's history has a new mon flashing inherited so much regional turmoil. to the south, yemen, the government collapsing rebels running the capitol. to the north, iraq not just attacks on the border by radical islamists isis but growing tensions with the government and then there is oil. in king salman's hands the power to shape the global economy. all of it filtered through the prism of iran. saudi is sunni, iran shia. in this 2012 king abdullah invited iranian president to saudi, since then relations have only deteriorated. iran seen as the hand iend the increasingly sectarian politics of shia led iraq the marge zags of sunni fueling in part the growth of radical islamists like

the u.s. lacked appetite for that. the compromise of air strikes and training not particularly palatable for the saudis either but if there is a bad taste in u.s. saudi relations, it will be the u.s. response to the arab spring in 2011. in egypt as the u.s. turned its back on president mubarak, the saudis urged him to stay. for king abdullah it served as an object lesson in u.s. loyalty to gulf allies. continuity will be king salman's guiding principle, but he inn harts a far more complicated kingdom than his predecessor. nick robertson, cnn, london. the greeks are heading to the polls this weekend to choose a new parliament and head of state. polls project a win for the far left party, which is promised to get rid of aus art yi completely and make effort to eliminate much of the countries debts, but it's already got the markets on

dooms day or am midnight was in 1953 when it reached 11:58 p.m. it's not dooms day, but something may be out of the movies an asteroid is set to make an appearance in the skies above over the next few days or soon. derek van dam is at the "international weather" center with details on that. what can we see. >> max, i think it's time we dust off our telescopes we got as children because you will be able to see this asteroid pass by the earth on monday. no matter where you are. all you have to do is look towards the constellation cancer in the sky and of course the clouds need to be clear overhead. so there's a couple of parameters that need to be met in order for you and i to be able to witness something like this but you'll want to mark your calendar because the next time something like this will actually take place will be the year 2027. it's all thanks to the shear size of this asteroid flying so close to space, roughly 1.2 million kilometers away from us on earth.

that is allowing for this unique opportunity for us to see this with even a strong pair of buy knock collars or even perhaps just your backyard telephone. go outside and enjoy it something that we won't see again for another decade or so. let's talk about a storm that is moving along the east coast of the united states. you can see how snow has already inundated some of the pager cities along the east coast, new york to boston, in fact take a look at some of this visual coming out of our other studios in manhattan, this is columbus circle you can see some of the fresh fallen snow across this region very beautiful scene to say the least, they will be waking.to sunrise roughly around 7:45 and that's local time but that will also allow for this beautiful sight across manhattan to be enjoyed by all the locals there. we also have winter storm warnings and watches in effect where you see that shagd of

purple and pink. we're expecting anywhere between 2 and 5 inches for our domestic viewers, upwards of 10 centimeters of snowfall. this is all thanks to a classic nor'easter pattern that is developing across the east coast, however, this is a very fast moving low pressure so usually these nor easters can hang around for a while and produce several inches or several centimeters of snowfall but not in this tick instance. it will draw down some significantly colder air along the east coast and that is going to really keep old man winter intact across this region. here is our snowfall accumulations with our models here at the cnn world "weather center," 13 centimeters for boston 7 centimeters for new york and you can see that swath of snowfall extending into pennsylvania and parts of west virginia. then we look towards the end of the weekend and early parts of next week. we have an albert at that clipper actually dropping south out of canada that's going to provide some snowfall for the upper midwest. if you're traveling to perhaps

chicago or even detroit we have chances of snowfall that will swoop across the east coast of the u.s. bringing another round of snowfall just south of new york and into the nation's capitol. so lots to talk about here in the world "weather center," including asteroids. max. >> good stuff. thank you very much indeed. we're going to look out for that. now, in havana cuba officials wrapped up the first round of talks about reestablishing ties with the u.s. the head of the u.s. delegation assistant secretary of state robert at that jacobson spoke with the media. she said while the talks were cordial they were just the first step in overcoming decades of diplomatic estrangement. >> i don't have a crystal ball so i don't know exactly how this is going to work out in five years or ten years. what i do know and what the president and the secretary have stated clearly is we know waste happened in the last 50 and we know that the policy that we had

pursued over the last 50 years had served solely to isolate us and not to create the empowerment of the cuban people that we were seeking. our ends remain the same which is to empower those people. >> now, she also said the talks addressed areas of deep disagreement including concerns over human rights and freedom of expression. the white house says u.s. president barack obama will visit saudi arabia on tuesday to pay his respects to the family of king abdullah. he's can you get short his time in india to make the trip. let's go live to michelle kosinski in new delhi with the details. were you expecting this because they effectively ratcheted up the delegation to pay respects in saudi, haven't they? >> reporter: right. i mean this was a question initially when we learned that king abdullah had died would the president go? would he cancel all together his trip to india? but it looked like they had it

established that vice president biden would lead a delegation there. the president would continue on with his plans here to india and that was the way they had it. then suddenly today word came from indian officials that there had been a change of plans. so that's how we learned of it first, that the president would cut his trip a bit short here in india, only by a matter of hours, and then the u.s. agreed yes, that was the case. that plans have changed. the white house put out a statement through the pool of reporters traveling with him, saying that they decided that vice president biden's trip -- by the time he got there to saudi arabia the president would already be about to leave india, so because of that window of time that would be close anyway the white house said they decided that now the president will be going to saudi arabia and vice president biden will stay in the united states. so kind of a convoluted way of learning about this and an interesting explanation that only now they're learning that that's the way the schedules would be but that's the new

schedule. so the president will be paying his respects and offering condolences in saudi arabia. really a testament to the strength of that relationship. also it turns out it won't interfere much with what's been planned here. he'll participate in republic day, which is very very important to the people of india. he'll be able to deliver remarks as planned still on tuesday morning and then shortly after that he'll leave india and head to saudi arabia max. >> and you talk about the very strong relationship between saudi arabia and the u.s. is that for diplomatic reasons primarily, would you say, or because of that great control saudi has over the oil markets? >> reporter: there's that and also when you look at what's going on in that region though how important and strategic that partnership is and the fight against terror specifically the fight against isis. saudi arabia is one of the first countries that the u.s. partnered with in that region and the white house continually

emphasizes the strength of that regional partnership and that being key to it this going forward. because, you know you look at what's going on in the strategy that's much strut niced now, the white house really insists that a partnership like that in fighting terror as well as keeping the homeland safe eventually is going to be key moving forward. but it's a long standing diplomatic relationship with saudi arabia. so it made sense that someone of a high profile within the u.s. government was going to go there. again, we initially thought this it would be the president and now it turns out that will be the case after some shifting in the schedules. >> you got the information in the end, didn't you, michelle? so at least we got that confirmation. thank you very much indeed for joining us. we'll be with you throughout the trip. thank you all for joining us. i'm max foster for viewers in the u.s. now new day is about to start.
