uses the euro. if you come to the beautiful country of switzerland. for a tourist, the price of chocolate at the moment is outrageous. thanks for being part of my program this week from davos, i'll see you next week. >> happening right now, parts of new york city boston and connecticut facing a potential major blizzard, winds approaching hurricane force along the test and snow totals of one to two feet. plus. >> the alternative would be for us to play whac-a-mole every time there is a terrorist inside any country. >> president obama doubling down on a strategy to fight terrorism. using partnership and

intelligence sharing with your allies. and under pressure the national obsession with deflate gate. >> this is the end of this subject for me for a long time. >> but is it? >> the newsroom starts right now. hello, everyone. potentially major and destructive, that's how authorities are describing a storm that's about to bear down on to the northeast. at least 50 million people are in the storm's path. some places could get up to two feet of snow a and when that's combined with hurricane force winds, it could trigger widespread power outages and coastal flooding. al air travel could be affected all the way to the west coast. delta is already offering to change flights. it will start hitting major

metropolitan areas including boston and new york beginning tomorrow afternoon. new york mayor, bill de blasio has a news conference planned for today to update us on the city's storm preparation plans. and this follows a storm that hit an area from west virginia all the way up the maine. this is pretty nasty when you look at that map. >> this storm you talked about yesterday, child's play in about 10 years, we're going to think back and say where were you during the blizzard of 2015. this was just supposed to be an alberta clipper that would give us three to six inches of snowfall. but now this thing is going to drop down it's going to intensify once it hits the coast tonight, then we're going to be talking about a crippling snowstorm, one to two feet of snow to the major cities and

we'll pinpoint what we're talking about here as far as your numbers. but for d.c. you'll get a little snow but this is going to be a storm for philly new york into boston and up into maine. you can through an entire year and perhaps two years without getting blizzard watches. here's the radar right now. what you're seeing the calm before the storm. nothing is going to happen in new york so if you're watching us from the northeast and you get to get supplies for the week you have to it now, if you're in boston you're going to be buried in a couple of feet of snow if not more. let's break it down in our hour by hour forecast there we are as we head through sunday night, by monday morning, you see some of the snow beginning to break out.

but the snow intensity won't really pick up until monday night into tuesday. that is when we're going to not only combine heavy snow and the winds are going to start gusting 50 to 70 miles an hour. you're not going to be able to see, you're not going to be able to get on the roads. we're not talking about just delays for air travel but the closing of airports. >> it's going to be a mess. >> we appreciate the warning and i know the folks in the northeast do as well. >> and again, just an update new york's mayor bill de blasio will have a press conference at 3:30 eastern time he'll be updating the city on what are the storm preparation plans. lots of contingency plans to be put in place well before that.

>> another big story we're following, that ultimatum to spare the life of a japanese hostage held by isis. and online post from a known isis supporter is demanding the release of a come.woman. yesterday a chilling image remerged online the hostage is seen holding a photograph that appears to show his fellow hostage beheaded. his father said he wished he could hold his son in his arms. he spoke on japanese television and asked is that his face not be shown. >> translator: i have been playing such a thing would not happen but unfortunately it has finally come to pass and i ache. u i feel so guilty that are goto

has been detained and sentenced to death after he went there to rescue my son. >> japanese and u.s. authorities say the video showing the body appears to be ah then tech. all right, another big story we're following, president barack obama's and india's prime minister have announced progress on a deal allowing companies -- while they stopped short of announcing a full-fledged deal the two leaders do they have moved forward on the issue. all this in the backdrop of the conflicts going on this this region. the president addressed the instability in that region, what specifically did he say?

>> the president insisted that current anti-terrorism efforts especially in yemen are going to stay the way they are. here's how he put it in a press conference morning in india. >> yemen as never been a perfect democracy and an island of stabltd stability. what i have said is that our efforts to go after terrorist networks inside of yemen, without an occupying u.s. army but rather by partnering and sharing with that local government. that continues to be the case. the alternative would be for us to play whac-a-mole every time there is a terrorist actor

inside any given country. >> there has been some pushback from lawmakers about this the past few days specifically from dianne feinstein, of course the ranking democrat on the intelligence committee and john mccain, the chairman of the armed services committee. on cbs face the nation this morning they were calling for u.s. special forces to deploy to yemen and possibly other areas in the region. mccain even say directly even though it would be tough for americans to swallow, there needed to be more boots on the ground u but that wouldn't necessarily mean combat troops. and you heard from the president that there needs to be more intelligence sharing dweeng partners and there needs to be more direct u.s. intelligence gathering on the ground there. but this is becoming tricky for the white house to navigate because it comes at the at the

same time that president obama asked the congress to fund the air campaign against isis. >> you can see that exclusive interview tuesday on cnn's new day beginning at 6:00 a.m. you just heard the president speaking from india. here's what white house chief of staff dennis mcdonough said today on abc. >> you heard the president say this morning on his forecast that of course al qaeda hides in dark corners and make sure that they're operating in places where they're not going to be pursued. that means a lot of the places where they spring up and they try to operate are places like yemen or somalia or north africa where the security forces are under developed, where the political situation is volatile and that's why we have put in place a strategy the make sure that we are not only

strengthening our partner security forces for them to take the fight to al qaeda. >> joining us is cnn intelligence analysis bob bayer. more intel and greater influence on diplomatic efforts there in yemen. but how concerned reasonable doubt you that in the interim al qaeda might be enboldened there, might pick up strength while there's this power backup in yemen? >> fredericka that's exactly it these are power grabbing states yemen is gone essentially as a state. iraq is gone as a state. you have the kurdish area, the sunni area and you have baghdad was a shiite area mainly. john mccain is wrong, you can't send u.s. forces to fix the middle east we don't have enough troops period nor do we

have the language capabilities nor the intelligence. when you're dealing with failing states you really need an international effort on this. as the president said it's not whac-a-mole, we can go after a certain valley in yemen, maybe go after a certain group, maybe use drones but then go after somebody else. >> the u.s. thought it had a pretty good relationship of what was representative of the there, when the president stepped assize we know saudi arabia continues to be a great ally of the u.s. but when you talk about yemen, and now iran has a lot of infwluns in yemen. who needs that regional support? >> look at saudi arabia's point of view they are surrounded by iranian proxies, they are

iranian financed,er rainian trained. you've got hezbollah in -- they are really panicking and we are moving toward a regional confrontation, the saud dpis are terrified we're going to settle with the iranians and they're going to be left out alone. we really need to walk this back it's not going to be easy but on the other hand i don't see it -- you know, it's just getting worse all the time with what's happening in yemen. >> it sounds pretty hopeless i'm not hearing any optimism in your voice. >> the saudis don't even want to go in and try it. or we can't send american troops into mosul, we can't send troops into baghdad to do our bidding. they're listening to iran not us. >> when you talk about mosul,

iraq and most recently the white house said more white house troops by way of advisors would be there in mosul, are you telling me that was a mistake? or is it a mistake if they were engaging in combat? >> they shouldn't get troops edge gauged in progress. john mckachb is trying to work with the government of iraq but they're still running concentration camps for the sunnis the government of baghdad is starving the kurds of operations and money. they're out of bullets up in the north. and we do have tier 1 special forces up there trying to help them. but if the government in baghdad is not going to help them there's not much we can do. >> bob bayer e, thank you very 34u6. appreciate your time. we're going to talk more about that region particularly about a relationship that is chilly at best israeli prime

prime minister netanyahu's plans to address the congress on march 3 two weeks before the israeli election is causing new fractures inside an -- house speaker john boehner's invitation aides say last week president obama in an angry phone call warned netanyahu not to interfere in his battle with congress over iran sanctions, but they say netanyahu secretly plotted to do the opposite arranging behind the president's back to deliver a speech critical of his policy. >> if we had the opportunity to

weigh in on that schedule a little more we would welcome that opportunity and probably make a variety of changes. >> reporter: it's the latest confrontation in growing tensionings between the two allies. last month netanyahu rebuffed president obama's -- the white house denied the reality defense minister high level meetings over his criticism of secretary of state john kerry's peace efforts. but frustrations reached new eights after a white house official used an expletive in an interview. he esaid he had no guts to make peace with the blins. u.s. officials say secretary kerry who in the last month made more than 50 phone calls to allies on behalf of israel to stop action on the part of the international security council. >> if the administration wants to get anywhere on the

israeli-palestinian issue, on dealing with iran on stabilizing the reason they're going to have to find a way to manage their relationship with israel. >> reporter: u.s. officials insist washington's support for israel's security will remain despite political tensions but the timing could been worse, as the administration rits teet ters on the brinks. >> -- address to coop as a campaign stop in advanced of the march elections, but they warn that could backfire if israelis about to go to the polls see their leader doing so much damage to a relationship that is so critical. all right, so does speaker boehner's invitation to the israeli prime minister strain relations between the white house and -- nancy pelosi says it breaks all sorts of protocol. >> i did not consult with the

white house, the congress can make this decision on its own. >> it's out of order in tefrs of the protocol and the respect--and since when -- i mean look the speaker of the house has awesome power, i know i have been there. but the fact is that power is not to be squandered. >> joining me to talk about this cnn political commentator peter barnard, and in new york from ow and the editor of the national review. let's talk about in as a whole. this is less an issue about precedence we know that netanyahu has addressed congress before. house speaker boehner says it's not a finger in the eye. but is there any other way of thinking about it when the white house is the last to know?

>> congress is a co-equal branch with the presidency. and if anything we have not seen congress acting enough. the matter at hand the negotiations with iran are an issue where the united states is at odds with many of our allies not just israel. >> do you agree with that that this is a healthy development, and that congress needs to assert itself on diplomatic relation shims with iran. >> to say that the united states is at odds with israel is just wrong. passing new sanctions at this point would be counter product ty. the problem is not inviting netanyahu to speak, it's not even not informing the white house, although that's bad form. it's the idea that u you're inviting a foreign leader to come specifically to attack the

president. if if if. >> and it steams like this was pretty thought out. this isn't just an aside, but this does appear to even though who are not in the circles there in the white house or even in congress it does appear to be a slight a real insult. >> well i think that this broadly parallels your previous question it doesn't strike me as an assault at all. but the entire congress is obligated to weigh in. and part of this is just hear the prime minister presenting his case drawing on his understanding of the region. it is absolutely true that the public is divided. had the united states invited the french -- particularly since many democrats had been supporting the president at a time when actually listening to outside voices might have been valuable. i don't think that's a

particularly strong argument against. if anything we need our lawmaker lawmakers to have kblaetgreater exposure on issues all around the world. >> the white house sees it this way --. >> this is a relationship given its importance that stretches across many different things from values straight through to intelligence and security -- that's the kinds of things we'll be focused on in this regard. and also we're not getting involved in their politics that's why the president doesn't think it makes any sense to meet with the prime minister of israel two weeks before their e eelection. >> is thatted a advantageous? >> support for the republican party in israel is strong but it's waning in the democratic party.

the more israel comes to see it as a partisan issue, as netanyahu has done, by simply endorsing him romney now endorsing john boehner, it weaken weakens -- it's not good for israel in the long-term. >> this notion that isles interfering in the election. shortly before an israeli general election. we're underestimating the israeli public. i don't think the it has enormous political implications. >> netanyahu, his tenure is going to be based on israel. >> good luck with the big storm on the way. auschwitz, 70 years since

its liberation.

u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in nigeria, kerry met with the president and his main rival and says peaceful elections are critical. the visit comes -- today the islamist group reportedly took a key city and it's huge military barracks barracks. >> and this tuesday marks 70 years since the liberation of auschwitz, the notorious concentration camp where more than 1 million men and women lost their lives and became a symbol for the holocaust. wolfe blitzer's paternal grand

parents were killed at auschwitz. >> it haunts us to this very day. you hear that worth, auschwitz, and you think of death. you smell death as you're walking around. i have read books about the holocaust, i have seen the movies i knew what happened but until you see the location and you see what occurred and you get a sense of the enorm mittity of this crime, it's hard to believe that people can be as cruel as they clearly have been. 1.2 million people. within two or three years, were slaughtered. and then when i went to the crematorium, the gas chambers it will stay with me for the rest of my life. >> you can see more of wolf's visit to the concentration camp

about deflaitte gate. bill belichick insists his team did not deflate the balls in last week's nfc playoff games. sarah, what is going on there today after bill belichick's second deflate gate press conference? >> reporter: he went through in painstaking detail about why he believes those balls were deflated. >> i am embarrassed to talk got how much time i put into this, relative to the other important challenge in front of us. >> reporter: new england patriots head coach bill bill check in froochbt of the cameras

for the second time in three days at a surprise press conference saturday telling the media he conducted his own experiment to see what might have happened. >> we simulated a game day 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 sounding more like a scientist than a football coach. >> the balls were adjusted to the climatic conditions, the balls were down approximately 1.5 pounds per square inch. >> reporter: kbel check said his experiments found that the balls exposed to the cold deflated the air pressure. >> when we hand the balls to the

officials, the officials put them at whatever they put them at. let's just say it's 12.5 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. >> one former official backed him u up. >> it is something that the officials take very seriously and they make sure that they do what they're supposed to go. >> 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 advised 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 because of the ongoing investigation, to protect our players, we're not going to talk about that. >> reporter: meanwhile belichick is ready to move on. >> this is the earned end of

this subject for me for a long time. >> reporter: he doesn't want to talk about this anymore. today to the patriots last practice before they leave for the super bowl their sendoff parade is tomorrow morning at about 11:00. as you heard, the players don't wanting to talk about this bill belichick doesn't want to talk about this he's hoping it will go away but everything he said yesterday was so much fuel for the fire and speculation, the nfl investigation is still ongoing and they're looking to see if there was any deliberate action that caused these balls to deflate. >> but he cannot believe that it's going to go away because he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. this is going to continue to be a source of discussion. >> reporter: he's hoping it doesn't come up again until the super bowl. what i think he's hoping for is that no one talks about it until

big game on sunday. >> sarah, thank you so much. here's a question for you, huge departure. let's talk about that college savings plan that you have in place, are you using a 529 savings plan to put away money for your kids college? president barack obama proposing a change to that program that could make part of that tax benefit vanish that's next. us. they take us to worlds full of heroes and titans. for respawn, building the best interactive entertainment begins with the cloud. this is "titanfall," the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement. this is the microsoft cloud.

perhaps you are looking ahead, looking out pore your kids and you have a 529 tax savings plan. it allows parents to put away money without paying taxes on that money. president obama wants to change the program, removing some of that tax benefit. the proposal has been widely criticized but the white house defends the idea saying that many 529s are held by people who make over $250,000 a year.

this outrages a lot of people because they figure you know what? i don't want to have to take out loans and have my kid graduate from college with great debt so let's plan ahead, let's put away this tax free money, and now there could be taxes imposed on this money? >> when i first started analyzing this as a way to make college affordable. my grandma always told me not to cut off my nose to spite my face. >> they put $24,000 away for their daughters. so clearly they understand the reason that this is a benefit. we're in an environment right now where we have got $1 trillion in student debt. more than 10% of those are more than 90% delinquent. you've got people who are deferring the loans, the problem is if you can't have an

incentive incentive to save your own money, it doesn't make any sense to take out any loans. >> what kind of taxes are we talking about potentially if the president's plan goes into place? >> this is a good question. what happens is when you set up the account, the account can grow on a totally tax deferred basis. so you don't have to pay any taxes on gains or dividends. so when you take it out, that's when they want to have the contributeations attacked. it's only on the gains and not the amount you actually put in. this is the way the 529s were taxed before the bush era. >> would this ably to everyone and anyone who has a 529 in case this proposal is adopted or is it a case of those who open a

529 after a proposal has been adopted. >> it's of course on new credibleations because if you've been saving for dive or ten years, you don't want -- it has a very slim chance of passing and only on new contributions. this the might be genius because it's about the wealth gap, it's really not about education. i work with a lot of athletes while we have been talking about deflate gate all week is that people want to know that the game they love is hair. people don't hate the patriots because they win super bowls, they just don't want them to cheat. so we want to have a level playing field for everyone. so what he's trying to adjust is the wealth gap and figure out how do we do this. then you talk to people who say

don't touch my 529 plan. >> but doesn't this remove the incentive? >> it does remove incentive, but they'll put a cap that you -- that's what they may put in blase so they don't totally take away the benefit for everyone. >> wow. rob wilson thank you very much. good to see you. all right coming up it's a movie about two families fighting for the same little girl and in the end how they all see things differently. and we go face to face with kevin costner and anthony mackie and the line that got them so hooked on this project. ial services firms? or 13,000 financial advisors who say thank you? it's why edward jones is the big company

actors kevin costner and anthony mackie about the impact of this film. what do you hope will happen? >> i don't know what happens. that idea is bigger than me. as an actor, i go this feels authentic, i like where we're at. i think conversation with follow after it. i'm not in the message business that's not why i made the movie. i just felt that it reflects i make movies about baseballs, westerns romantic comedies sometimes you get to make a movie about something you feel like you're living. right now "black or white" i think is for its time but the way it's immediate, it has a chance to be a classic. >> anthony, what is it about this movie that resonated with you? >> it was two specific moments.

there was one moment in my law office where i'm talking to my nephew and i give him the business. i let him know what he's doing to affect me in my life and what he's doing to affect us as a whole. and kevin has this line later on in the film that blew my mind he said it's not your first thought that makes you a racist, it's your second your third and your fourth. so it was something that really affected me. >> there were a lot of touching moments in the movie as well. this little girl is amazing. just that moment between she and grandpa, let's play that moment because i think that was the real station that you had that that -- >> the light reveals a mermaid,

no five mermaids all with green and orange swishing tails. the tops looked familiar, but i can't figure out from where. >> i love you, papa. >> there were four sisters and the one in the middle says, she has short butter colored hair and she's wearing a white -- >> are you okay, papa. >> oh, pudding, it's just a really sad story. >> it's not sad, it's about woman who takes her family on vacation. >> i know it just reminds me of another story, a sad one. >> that's an instinctive moment and the acting there, everything

that was brought was in ininstinctive. >> a lot of times a movie rests on what a little girl is going to do. she doesn't disappoint. and sometimes little people know what big people need in a moment, they just intuitively know and that point where she reaches up and hugsz you see the thing in the entirety you can see that she kisses. and it wasn't scripted she did that. but the mo was filled with things like this. there's magic in this movie. >> it's really universal. it really is about race black or white, making a choice it's much bigger than that isn't it? >> it's way beyond that. what i like about this movie is that you get to see both

perspectives and you listen to the two of them come together and work out a fair compromise. i think that's something that we should be today. we're at the highest point in race relations since civil rights i think a lot of communication needs to be had. we had the likes of martin luther king and all the civil rights leaders, but now we don't have those people to step up and have those conversation for us and vocalize our thoughts. but this movie is really wonderful because it give you a place to start a conversation. you know i truly believe that if you have someone that is opposite of you, that doesn't look like you, you tell them to go see this movie so you can start that conversation there and then roll into other issues and and topics. >> hear more of the interview in our 4:00 eastern hours.
