middle east and conflicts that, as you had mentioned before. there is different grades of u.s. involvement and, clearly, hesitation to escalate and move forward when it comes to a military response by the united states. >> we will talk more about this throughout the morning. we continue now with "new day." right now, president obama in india. the major news, an agreement between the two countries on nuclear. plus it looks like isis has pulled its ransom demand after claiming it executed one of those japanese hostages. well, now they want a prison swap. the super bowl just a week away. but everyone is talking about deflategate. >> at no time was there any intent whatsoever to try to

compromise the integrity of the game or to gain an advantage. quite the opposite. we feel like we followed the rules of the game to the letter in our preparations, in our procedures. >> new england's coach is doubling down on his team's innocence. ♪ good to be with you this morning. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm suzanne malveaux in for christi paul. good to be with you. moments ago, president obama wrapped up a joint news conference with india prime minister narendra modi and addressed climate change and ironing out nuclear cooperation between the two nations. president obama arrived in new delhi this morning and greeted by modi on the tarmac. this is his second visit to the nation. >> let's talk more about the president's visit with our white house correspondent michelle kosinski who is live from new

delhi and our cnn analyst tom fuentes on the phone from washington. michelle, we heard this wrapping up here. they each took one question apiece and it lasted for about 40 minutes or so. what was the takeaway that you got from president obama? because he was asked a number of things, but, more specifically, on some of the crises that we have seen, particularly out of yemen. >> reporter: yeah, i think it's clear that they covered a range of topics. everything that is important in that bilateral relationship. the real headline is the reaching of an agreement, not signed on the dotted line yet. it doesn't assigned like. but what president obama defined as a breakthrough understanding in the civil nuclear agreement. the ability of companies in the united states to participate in indiana, to build nuclear reactors without threat of liability or problems happening down the road. now, they said that this was

under discussion and moving forward and called it a before the accident but need to take further steps before it's fully implemented. other areas in defense cooperation and defense technology. also climate change and lifting people out of poverty in india. sounds like there is a deepening cooperation in all of these areas. but nothing to the point of being signed, sealed, and delivered. i think it was telling that the white house didn't put out any big announcements or fact sheets, you know, with different points spelled out ahead of this press conference. it sounds like they have reached agreements but we're waiting to see full implementation on some of these. suzanne? >> of course, those details are the most important part. let's go to tom now. we were having a conversation just before the top of the hour about yemen specifically, tom. the question from the a.p. that the president has the accomplishments there in yemen but as we all know, yemen has, in many ways, fallen apart. you got the president, the prime minister, the cabinet resigning.

the president said hopefully, he'll be able to cooperate with the government there. this quote. the model we have is the model we will have to work with. what is that model and it seems to defy that there will be communications with whatever this new government, quote/unquote, will be in yemen. >> victor, that is still, you know, a huge question. you've had the rebels basically take over the capital of yemen a couple of months ago and yet they did not depose the president of the country or the cabinet. they chose to resign later on and we are not sure if that is going to stand or not. the rebels have been in a position they could have completely taken over and said that is it and engineered a coup and they haven't been the rebel group have been fighting in the arabian peninsula. the rebel group is a shia muslim

against the sunni muslim groups like isis, it creates an interesti interesting dilemma. all of the security measures for the united states in yemen aren't based entirely on yemen. saudi arabia intelligence, the saudis have extensive coverage in there and in the past, they have infiltrated a qap as evidenced by they helped defeat the blot to send the cartridge bombs made in yemen and shipped all over europe with one of the bombs detected in london on its way to a jewish community center in saudi. we have been able to take advantage of that, so there are more intelligence assets still in place than we may realize. >> thank you so much, tom fuentes and michelle kosinski. the president is meeting the new

president salman. >> he has to figure out what the cooperation is going to be with saudi arabia when it comes to dealing with isis and those terrorists and hope it's consistent with the previous regime. president obama reaching out to another world leader and ally that is japanese prime minister, speak spoke by phone following the killing of a japanese hostage by isis in syria. the president expressed condolences to the people of japan and he also issued a statement. he said this. he said we will work together to bring the perpetrators of these murders to justice and we will continue to take decisive action to degrade and ultimately defeat isil. another big story we are following this morning. isis now issuing a new ultimatum to spare the life of the surviving japanese hostage. militants are now demanding the release of a convicted terrorist and she has been in prison in

jordan since 2005 after she tried to blow up a wedding party at a hotel in iman. we bring in our correspondent in tokyo to tell us more about the new demand by isis and whether or not we think that the japanese are going to respond to this. how they might respond and who this figure is. will? >> reporter: well, suzanne, as you know, demanding the release of the japanese hostage is unrealistic if not more so than demanding 200 million dollars from the japanese government which was their first demand in the previous video. the reason she is a high profile terrorist who has been held in prison in jordan for nearly a decade as you said. a country which is just now begun reinstated the death penalty after many years because she was actually sentenced to death. to ask, first of all, japan would have to -- would have to ask jordan to release one of their highest level prisoners who potentially could be facing execution in exchange for a

single journalist from japan who chose to enter syria to save his friend but, nonetheless he made the choice and it's a single hostage. normally, if you're talking about a prisoner exchange you would release if it was one high level terrorist a group of hostages released and not what isis is offering in this case ps awe can imagine, suzanne, very grave fears here for the safety of koto, the one remaining hostage who still live alive. >> this is a tragedy for the family of that japanese hostage who was killed, as well as the country and the world watching. what happens to this next person? has there been any response from the family of that hostage who lost his life? >> reporter: the father is now speaking out and to give you an indication of japanese culture there is a lot of shame when somebody is taken hostage in another country and why you should moto's apologizing.

now we are hearing from ukawa's father who didn't want to show his face on camera but you can hear the emotion. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> translator: i have been praying such a thing would not happen but, unfortunately, it has finally come to pass and my heart aches. i feel so guilty that mr. goto has been detained and threatened death after he had entered there to rescue my son at the risk of his life. i wish him to be released and return to japan to continue his active. >> kenji has a wife and daughter who are in japan right now and very uncertain about the fate of their father. it's so tragic. >> they were given 72 hours a deadline for that ransom.

is there any deadline for producing this hostage swap or that is just open-ended? >> reporter: if you listen to the new video, there is no time frame and what that means is that isis intends to hold on to kenji until a deal is worked out or they feel he ask no longer a value to them. >> thank you, will ripley. >> we will look into why this female terrorist is so important to isis ahead. a wreckage up from the java see for the aircraft but a major snag halting that operation. why recovery teams may be str g changing their strategy nearly a month after the plane fell from the sky.

your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate the power of conversation! you know, i like you! i like you too! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and talk to a real person. try zyrtec-d® to powerfully clear your blocked nose and relieve your other allergy symptoms...

bomber who has been in a jail in jordan since 2005. >> let's learn more about her. tom fuentes is joining us. >> also joining us the founder and ceo of south asian middle east consultants. i want to start with you. are you surprised that isis is changing its tactic here from a ransom demand that was $200 million now to a prison swap? what does that mean? >> well, i think they realize there was probably not much chance that the 200 million dollars would be given up by japan and especially with the international pressure not to pay ransoms for terrorists. they also had this other lady sajada who was involved in one of the biggest terrorist attacks in jordan and her husband and some of her family members are involved in some of these terrorist groups over there. so i think what they decided to do is let's switch it up and try to get this lady released from

jordanian prison. >> tom, i imagine this swap is a nonstart as well for japan but this video we see that was produced by isis, the latest video from isis, shows the surviving hostage. a little different from the other video released by isis. no logos, no execution. no footage there. why do you think that is? are they worried about being tracked now? >> reporter: i'm sure they are worried about it not worried about it enough to not continue what they have been doing with capturing hostages and holding them and then getting the publicity that we want out of it and killing. i agree that this is going to be a nonstarter negotiating this particular hostage for, you know, a terrorist in jordan. don't forget, jordan has one of their pilots in custody of isis whose plane went down over their territory. so if there is any bargains going to be struck with jordan between jordan and isis it's going to include their pilot, not the woman that did the attack ten years ago.

>> let's talk about some of the details behind that. both of you have said this is a nonstarter, but describe for us why that is the case. because i would imagine that this suicide bomber whom isis wants out of this prison in jordan that there would be, if they decided that this would be something they could do, some negotiations that would take place between jordan and japan to get her free and that there would be a process they would follow. can you walk us through that if this is something they think is doable? >> well, yeah. prisoner swaps are done. they are done in the region and done elsewhere in the world but this jordanian prisoner is probably the biggest terrorist prisoner that jordan has. i mean, there was, i think, 57 people killed in jordan in 2005. three separate u.s.-based hotels were attacked, and this was the only suicide bomber that her belt failed to detonate and they had her within custody, i think, within 12 hours of the attempted

attack. so in order to release her it's just going to require i think a lot more than just this one japanese hostage. >> tom, talk about strategy quickly. this woman is considered an imprisoned sister. we talk so much about the role of women in isis. there was also this woman shannon conley who was sentenced to four years for wanting to join isis. is this woman being used as a way to deepen those ranks of women around the world to join this group? >> reporter: well, certainly. they want to recruit women. they have been trying to get people to go there as war brides or, you know, in some support fashion of the male fighters that are on the front lines of isis. i think this is something that they have wanted to do for a long time. as you've seen, the buma din

case out of paris that women are very dangerous because they can kind of slip under the radar a little bit as they move around in these societies and can help recruit other women and other men, and in some cases, be more of a leader than we even realize from the outside. >> i wonder if she was chosen specifically because she was a woman. thank you both so much. it has been almost a month since airasian flight crashed. now divers are scrambling to lift the wreckage from out from under the java sea but will the current strategy actually work? next, the latest on the investigation as families of the victims are still waiting for answers. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

. recovery teams finally raise the submerged fuj lass of airasian flight to the java see but the ropes snapped and it went back down to the bottom of the sea. >> official are re-evaluating that strategy and we want to talk more about the recovery operation with our cnn correspondent who is live from indonesia. tell us why this has been so

difficult to bring this up. >> reporter: it's been a really disconcerting couple of days here, in fact, in indonesia making that attempt to raise the fuselage. something they were hoping to avoid and hoping to recover all of the victims' bodies without having to do this and then they decided they will have to do it and it's a grand operation. you can just imagine how large the fuselage is and how heavy it is. the interesting thing is that they have been attaching a giant balloon pumping it up. they have been successful. the divers going down in the sea. and, today, not only do they manage to raise it but as you just said, it actually was visible. they thought they had it and then one of the belts snapped. so it seems it's not actually the balloon that isn't big enough or able to float it to the top but it's the belts that are strapped around the fuselage and the balloon that keep on giving way. incredibly disconcerting and disheartening. you can imagine the families of

the victims on board airasian 8501 holding on to that. what they are saying they have to look at the strategy again and we know they were trying to reinforce the belts and work around that. it's nightfall now and bad weather so they have had to stop for the day. >> i can't imagine what that could would be like. those families simply waiting and watching as time and time again, they try another method and seems to rudimentary. thank you for your report this morning. let's talk about this recovery operation more with mary sc ericks avo. the wreckage was at the surface of the water when one of those lift ropes snapped. let's get to the basic element here. this is not the first plane to have crashed. the water is not terribly deep. what is the primary hurdle here? is it the technology? is it the approach? the human resources? why can't they get this up?

>> well, the folks there on the scene in the indonesian water say it is the condition and choppiness of the water. you're exactly right. there have been many accidents that have gone down in the water and other places in the world but what is different about this one is the length of the piece they are trying to bring up. it is a hundred foot long piece. i think 26, 27 meters long. this is a very large piece. ordinarily when the planes go down they aren't in this large of a piece and much broken up and the pieces off new york were much smaller and they brought that up with grappling equipment. the recovery ships were the navy ships and they were able to bring it up with big hooks. here, it's a little different, because it's such a large piece. unfortunately, with ropes breaking, i mean, that must be terrible on the families because every time that happens, of course, there is danger of more damage and more loss of remains. >> how many times and for how long do you think they will try this approach with these

balloons and these ropes until they say we have to try something else and what are those other options? >> the other options would be to bring in different kind of ships and equipment. for example, the united states has a couple of ships, one is called the grapple, one is called the grasp, and they have large underwater literally grasp and grapple equipment and that so bring up sunken subs and things like that. that equipment is not on the scene. i think the problem once they brought it up and now it's settled back to the ocean floor and i believe some remains, at least one body did come out and they did recover that, but every time this happened, there is more disruption. so i think at this time it's really more to bring it up for the bodies. i'm fairly certain that the investigators now with the black boxes and flight data recorder have a really good idea what happened and probably know the cause of this crash. they just haven't released it. but i think they will try this once more. the rope breaking was

unfortunate. and the goal is clearly to get the remains, not necessarily just the fuselage but there is not a lot of telltale information about the crash but it's the bodies. >> the families have been waiting for a month now to have those victims come home. mary sciavo, aviation analyst, thank you. you have so many titles. but thank you for being with us. >> thank you. the new england patriots in one week will square off with the seattle seahawks in the super bowl. >> but one thing for sure, the footballs will be under a lot of scrutiny. even nbc "saturday night live," they are taking a closer look. >> did tom brady at any point instruct you to take air out of those footballs? >> this man is a saint! do you think you can do what he does? he has won three super bowls! six, if you include the losses! this man is a legend!

>> we will take a longer look at the "snl" sketch on deflategate in a minute. the questions here, of course, let's get to the serious element here. was it the weather or did someone intentionally deflate 11 of the 12 footballs provided by the patriots in last week's afc championship title gape. no officials answers really. >> we really don't know. a news conference on saturday, coach bill belichick maintains his team did nothing wrong, but admits he is no expert. >> i'm not a scientist p.. i'm not an expert in football and i'm not an expert in football measurements. i'm just telling you what i know. i would not say that i'm mona lisa of the football world as she was in the car expertise area. all right? >> we want to get our latest from our reporter who has the

story. >> i'm embarrassed to talk about the amount of time that i've put into this relative to the other important challenge in front of us. >> reporter: the new england patriots head coach bill belichick in front of the cameras for the second time in three days addressing the deflategate controversy at a surprise press conference saturday, telling the media that he conducted his own experiment to determine what might have happened. >> we simulated a gameday situation in terms of the preparation of the footballs and where the footballs were at various points in time during the day or night, as the case was sunday. >> reporter: belichick delved into the science behind the issue, at times, sounding more like a physicist than a football coach. >> the atmospheric conditions, they were adjusted to the climatic conditions. the balls, you know, in were

down an. >> reporter: he added it's league officials who monitor the pressure of the footballs not his staff. >> when we hand the balls to the officials, the officials put them at whatever they put them at but let's just say it's 12 1/2, that's where they put them. then the air pressure at that point from then on until the end of the game, we have no knowledge of. >> reporter: one former official backed him up. >> it's something that the officials take very seriously and they make sure that they do what they are supposed to to do. >> reporter: earlier in the day, patriots players downplayed the controversy saying it wasn't a factor in their super bowl preparations. the nfl players union visited them not to comment until the league's investigation is complete. >> we have been instructed by our union, as players, to

reserve comment on this situation. it's an ongoing investigation, so in order to protect our players, we will go ahead and not talk about that. >> reporter: meanwhile, belichick is ready to move on. >> this is the end of this subject for me for a long time. okay? >> so coach belichick, wrapped -- he basically says all of this deflategate controversy is chalked up to science, to the rubbing of the footballs that quarterbacks do before they hand the balls over to the officials and then also to this atmospheric pressure. it really felt like were in that room he was giving this press conference a direct explanation basically in relation to all of this talk that this was somehow a deliberate action and the nfl statement, the day before, which said they were specifically investigating whether or not this was a deliberate action on the part of members of the team.

victor a victor? >> appreciate it, sarah. let's bring in coy wire. coach belichick says i'm not a cincinna innocent but let me explain the equilibrium of the ball. >> this is a guy who often avoids the media and understated in his comments but this has clearly perturbed him to get to the bottom and talking about psi and equilibrium and atmospheric conditions. i think what has come from this press conference is likely the nfl has to include science in their investigation. they may have go and recreate the conditions that existed on gameday to see if the footballs become deflated when they are left out in those conditions over a period of time. the problem is, ted wells, who is conducting the investigation,

will take quite sometime to give us findings. the last report he was involved in took him three months to come out with the results of his investigation. >> how seriously are these guys taking this? we are looking at the optics of it all. the caps on and coming out. it looks like they are not in their suits. it kind of looks like it's giving this image, we are just on the fly going to talk about this and then head back to practice or something. >> a bitnonchalant. they have to focus on this biggest game of the year and very few have a chance to play in the super bowl. i think that was a last push to talk to the public and let them know their stance as an organization, coming from the head man there, but now it is game time. you heard them say i am done with this and moving on, the last time you hear from me regarding this subject in a long time. >> they are football to focus

on. it's all over social media and that means "snl" has to offer its take on it. >> good evening! as you can tell, i'm taking this very seriously. that's why i got dressed up. >> look. all i know is that a football is a pigskin so i just assume that the air in the football is how much air was inside the pig when it died. >> tom, i think you're pretending to know a lot less than you actually two. >> what? i'm not worried about the air pressure in the ball. that's nerd stuff! that's honestly above my pay grade. >> you make 26.5 million a year. >> yeah. well is that a lot? guys, i don't know things! >> a bit of truth in the way that was portrayed. as if he is saying, listen, i just -- they toss them back in

the pocket and i throw. that's all i got. >> as serious as the accusations are a lot of fun happening in social media and "saturday night live" was a good clip. watch the full clip. this is sports and supposed to be fun and people are clearly having a lot of fun with this. >> when you talk to fans, do they really care and take it seriously or is this important to folks watching that game? >> the radius around that boston area they are taking this very seriously because how dare you call their team cheaters but we will find out with all of the investigations if, whether or not, it simply was the weather having an effect on the footballs. >> coy wire, thank you. spain has arrested two pair of brothers suspecting of plotting a terror attack. we will tell you about the striking similarities of those brothers and the brothers who attacked the charl"charlie hebd magazine in paris. the fever. an even bigger deal? everything you miss out on... family pizza night. the big game.

conservative heavyweights hit the stage in iowa yesterday at the freedom summit. peter was covering the candidates. how did it go, peter? >> reporter: the iowa freedom summit in des moines sponsored by steve king marked the starting gun for the 2016

republican presidential race. republicans thinking about president across the gop spectrum came here to introduce themselves to republicans, throw red meat to the crowd. everyone from donald trump to sarah palin to chris christie and scott walker came here today to meet iowans say i want to be president and get to know me and i'lling coming here often. who wasn't here, jeb bush the perceived front-runner chose to avoid coming to this event because in part the sponsor of the event steve king is known as a conservative immigration hard linen and jeb bush wants the party to do more to reach out to hispanics and king has said inflammatory comments about hispanics over the years and jeb chose nod to be here. you have to think that scott walker who is normally low key and some call him boring, he gave a great, well-received speech here in des moines.

outside the sort of heartland conservative states like iowa. he was sort of putting himself forward as the governor of new jersey, a state that tends to go democratic in presidential elections and saying i'm a conservative but i got wider appeal and that is what we need to be able to win the white house. >> right. we saw ted cruz who was there as well. that might fly when it comes to a primary election when you're looking at all of these guys and those who are going to be voting tend to skew to the right and that would be appealing to them. but could it be too far to the right for the general election where voters are looking for something a bit more moderate? >> certainly. republicans in the next election have to find a way to win those battleground states which meant romney couldn't win. we are talking about places like virginia, ohio, florida, or even somewhere like pennsylvania or colorado. that kind of message might put off voters in those states. but ted cruz is going big to win in iowa because it's, obviously,

he is very appealing to the evangelical christian base of the party so he needs to build momentum there. ted cruz's message right now is sort of his brands of sort of radical the republicans can't win a general election if they don't embrace conservative ideas. people in the tea party says turnout in the republican base has been depressed. they don't think that the candidate, mitt romney, is nominated as a true conservative. we know how important iowa has been. a year away, the iowa caucuses. let's talk about the front-runners. rand paul, marco rubio who actually they sat out the summit, but they're going to be attending something else. the koch brothers event tonight. they're willing to sit out this event but they're going to be in front of an important audience today. >> well, both of those candidates you mentioned sort of need to get the sort of super

pac money, the big money in the campaign. the sort of koch brothers have big resources. other candidates that sat out last night were jeb bush and mr mitt romney. they appear to have been making a calculation possibly along with rubio. they don't want to appear at an event for steve king that is renowned for inflammatory remarks about illegal immigration if they're going to end up in a general election and they're going to try to appeal for the hispanic vote. mitt romney had a hard time appealing to hispanic voters. that was one of the reasons they lost the election. they didn't want to stand up and gift the democrats. >> the koch brothers, a lot of money there. thank you so much. appreciate it this morning. thanks. coming up at the top of the hour, president obama makes news this morning during his trip to india, including a possible

nuclear deal and in the fight against terror. we'll take you there live for more on this historic visit. plus, coming up next, more snow. another storm is heading to the northeast. when the flu hits, it's a really big deal. the aches. the chills. the fever. an even bigger deal? everything you miss out on... family pizza night. the big game. or date night. why lose out to the flu any longer than you have to? prescription tamiflu can help you get better 1.3 days faster. that's 30% sooner. call your doctor right away. and attack the flu virus at its source with prescription tamiflu. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures,

just as people on the east coast are digging out from yesterday's snow, another major storm is expected to make its way up the east coast. >> a second nor'easter on track to hit much of new england tomorrow night. this one will be even worse than what we saw yesterday. ivan cabrera is live at the cnn weather center with more. ivan, whoa, what are we talking about here? >> not good. no bueno. terrible. monday night it will be triple worse, quadruple worse, whatever you want to call it. this is a paralyzing storm. airports will be closed. schools will be closed. this is the kind of storm you're going to have to stay indoors for a couple of days. serious stuff here. this is the setup. yes, we've been talking about the second storm, the alberta clipper. normally these storms don't produce the amount of snowfall that we're forecasting here. what's happening is the jet stream orientation is going to juice this up. it's going to essentially

explode here across the eastern seaboard here and that means a couple of things. significant snowfall, yes, but also the snow will be coming down with winds in excess of 50 miles an hour, which is why the national weather service has already posted blizzard watches. i'll show you that. there's the developing storm. we are going to see some snow across the ohio valley. this is sunday as we head through the evening hours here. this isn't the big deal. once it hits the coast we're going to have a secondary low forming here, and that is your nor'easter. that is the one that's going to be bringing us incredible amounts of snowfall here. monday night heading into tuesday we are thinking that we are going to be measuring this in some areas not in inches but in feet. that's the kind of snow potential that we're talking about here. the winter snow falls look at this, long island, southern connecticut, rhode island, the entire state, eastern massachusetts now under a blizzard watch which will likely be upgraded to a warning in the next 12 hours as you can take a

look at this is what we're forecasting at the cnn weather center. one to two feet from new york to providence to boston. i think boston has the potential to get close to 30 inches, 30 inches by the time we get into the early part of tuesday. so this is going to be a disruptive storm. obviously millions of people will be impacted and it is not coming on a weekend like this last system here. this is coming in the middle of the week. so we're getting ready. >> so i'm going to be going back to d.c. we're talking about a foot of snow? >> when are you heading back? >> today. >> you're fine. you're fine today. but any time after tomorrow and you're trying to get up to the northeast isn't going to happen. >> get it all done today whatever you need to get done. just saying. >> thank you, ivan. >> i appreciate it. i'll be out in that snow covering it. >> me, too, probably somewhere. here's a look at other stories developing now. president obama wrapped up a joint news conference with indian prime minister modi. they addressed everything from climate change to differences to
