camerota. >> good morning, it is just about 6:00 in the east. make no doubt about it. a monster storm is taking an aim. two to three feet of snow. more than 20 million people from new jersey to maine are in the cross-hairs. another 23 million could be hit depending on the way the front moves. >> powerful winds, whiteout conditions and coastal flooding expected to we'll be right back havoc along the i-95 corridor. salt trucks standing by to keep up with the snow. thousands of flights have already been cancelled. so even if you do not live on the east coast, will you feel this storm's impact. we have the blizzard cover annual from all angles. chad myers we called him in here there is so big. >> i tell you, you never call me in when there is good weather. you always bring me in when there is something to talk about. think of this storm like a hurricane that hits warm watt. a hurricane big one hits 90 degree watt it blows up well

the water is not that warm but it's 47. so in this very cold storm, when it hits the warm watt out here it is going to blow up. it is going to what we call bomb out. i will be a strong storm with winds, gust 60-to-70 miles per hour. back here in new york city we will make blizzard conditions for hours and hours. this storm snows for 30 hours or more. you get an inch of snow per hour for 30 hours. that's easy math. but here's how it works out. a lot of times these storms can't bring the snow back around. they can't do this wrap-around as much as you would like. if you want. no. back out here towards fork city. i think some of these models. although, new york could pick up 15 inches. boston certainly will and then more. a lot of this snow will get caught in the mountains, in killington in new hampshire and vermont and maybe knock it all the way back to new york city. so these dire forecasts.

i heard about 30 inches of snow in new york city. i don't see that happening. it's going to get caught farther to the east t. modems are showing this i think some early this morning. a lot of the snow may be along the coast. the difference between this storm and the other storms we henl about, well it might mix in with rain so we don't e won't get that much. this isn't going to mix. it is snow all the time 25 degrees, blowing hard snowing hard. wednesday along the shore, a lot of erosion, those wend gusts could be 7 to 10 feet east of manchester boston hartford, a major event here. we'll detail it out for you all morning long. >> so chad just to be clear, because i've already heard this morning, some people say, you in the media, you always hype these storms. they're never as bad as say they're going to be. is there anyway that we dodgers this bullet and it's not as bad as you think it looks this morning. >> if you are from new haven,

connecticut to morris town pennsylvania or new jersey you may see significant difference you pay go from 20 inches to six because the snow will be here. there will be a demarcation where it doesn't snow williamsport albany you might not get much. right along the coast, with those winds, someone is going to get smashed. we have to wait until it actually starts. there are flurries here in new york city. it hasn't started yet. the bomb hasn't even happened yet, but it will this morning. >> all right, cad meyers. tanks so much for that warning. we will have you standing by throughout the morning. also storm preparations are under way in massachusetts. you heard chad say, where some of the heaviest snowfall is expected. emergency officials say the traveling will be treacherous and could be life threatening. cnn is live in boston with more. jennifer what are you seeing? >> reporter: alisyn they have 1700 trucks ready to go.

3500 tons of salt. they haven't had to use so it tar this season. they are ready. look at this snow is already on the ground. this is from the storm system. it happened a couple days ago. it is packed if here thick. macge this snow already oak. what we are expecting is two to three additional feet that. will come up to my waist. because of the 60 70-mile-per-hour winds, it will be snowing the snow all around. we are expected to see snow above my head in some places because of all the blowing snow. they are considering this to be life-threatening. if you try i to get out of your house, the mayor office, though says they are prepared. they have been through blizzards before. they feel confident, but everyone is encouraged to stay indoors because this is going to be a dangerous situation when those blizzard conditions kick in later this evening through the overnight hours. you will not be able to see a thing. whiteout conditions are expected. that blizzard warning will go into effect 7:00 p.m. tonight

and last through 1:00 a.m. on wednesday, that is a long time. so we are expected to see those whiteout conditions. the worst of it will be during the overnight hours through much of tomorrow morning, into the early afternoon. so folks in boston are bracing for the worst and hoping for the best as the storm gears up in the next couple of hours. chris. >> unfortunately, so many will be left powerless by something leak this jennifer. r. our primary concern is them. another concern, of course people who want to get somewhere won't be able to. airlines are preemptively canceling flights. live in laguardia airport, the number of planes already big. this is just the beginning. what do we know? >> reporter: that's right, chris. the number of flights already cancelled is approaching 2,000. delta said today alone it's can selling 600 flight and united saying tomorrow it just won't fly. now, here a major hub in new

york city laguardia, 1200 flights have been cancelled. the national weather service we know is calling this a historic and life-threatening storm. airlines are trying to get ahead of the chaos. it is a logistical nightmare for them to rebook all of these people. we haven't met too many frustrated travelers just yet. in fact we have one mark right here he actually has a good story. you were supposed to fly to key west tomorrow. you called the airline. what did they say? >> they were fantastic, actually. i was surprised. first of all i got through relatively quick and they were very accommodating. i said i wanted to get out as soon as i could this morning knowing the rest of the day was going to get pretty crazy. >> reporter: enjoy your trip to warmer weather. we will have to see whether that sentiment as far as consumers goes continues throughout today and tomorrow. >> as the storm moves, so will

the expectations and information. so we will stay on it all morning long and keep surprises to a minimum and help you prepare. we get back to that in a minute. isis has apparently beheaded one of two japanese hostage it was holding. the group's $200 million ransom demand is off the table. they are demanding the release of a would be suicide bomber from a jail in jordan in exchange for that second hostage's life. we are tracking the latest developments live from tokyo. will. >> reporter: mikaela, right now the japanese government is saying they're negotiating the release of that female suicide bomber. it's going to be very difficult. japan sent a special enjoy. right now they're on the ground trying to talk to the government. a high profile prisoner convicted in an attack that left 60 people dead. allowing a deal that would let her walk free when she could be

facing the death penalty when you are talking about releasing a single japanese journalist. jordan has some things they may be asking for the release of a journalist. it appears to be a crisis for prime minister shinze abe. especially since some are blaming him by making a public announcement knowing there are two japanese prisoners, two days after his announcement. chris, we saw what happened. the isis video, one dead another in great danger. >> it's just the impossibility of any good outcome in this situation has people troubled. will, we'll stay with you this morning. also another breach of the white house ground. a drone found on the white house lawn. no confirmation on exactly what this object was. here's the good news the

president wasn't home. he's on a historic trip in india. this is certainly a problem for white house security. michelle kazinski is traveling, it is a drone, they're ut out there, michelle what's the word on how they think this is happening and what this is? >> right. we have direct knowledge of the situation, they tell us it was a drone. that it was small in size all tow, they won't characterize that specifically and that it had propellers on it. we don't know where exactly on the white house lawn it landed or crashed or was thrown. it was interesting, the video of the cameras always on the white house, that front view from the forth lawn well you can see video of the dark white house and all of a sudden at 3:15 a.m., bam, all of these spotlights turn on. you know something is going on there, later, you see the activity with fire trucks and firefighters outside of the white house grounds. we don't know much more than that. the secret service is handling

it. here's what the white house press secretary said earlier from here in new delhi. >> a device has been recovered by the secret service. early indications is that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat right now to anybody at the white house. >> reporter: you heard him call it a device. our sources with direct knowledge saying that this was a drone. we are waiting for more information on how this happened where exactly it landed. again the white house doesn't think it poses a three. when you think about how a drone works, you can see how it can be an easy occurrence. maybe the wonder is it hasn't happened before. you can walk by the white house. people have thrown objects over the fence before. so something like a drone, it would just make that it much easier sadly, to get on to that property chris. >> the problem isn't so much the drone. what it could be case, late could be doing. let's talk about you, michelle how is it going in india?

what are the goals? what seems to be the biggest news out of there? >> reporter: yeah. well the whole thing is big. the panel entry, the event, the show of support and cooperation between these two countries. the goals and the breath of conversation as well. they want cooperation on a number of key areas, trade, defense, the climate, counterterrorism. pretty much you name it of the major issues going on in the world right now, india and the u.s. want a closer cooperation. on some of these issues they saiditative reached break through understanding. i think the big take way would be on civil nuke year cooperation, nuclear energy provided partly at least by the united states to india to meet it power needs. they've gotten breakthroughs on that. so it was a a big deal. also a climate agreement. fought really to the scale at this point or sign on the dotted line as the one with china was.

but they've gotten india to agree to increase by a large scale. it's clean energy especially solar and wind. lastly defense cooperation, they renewed their ten-year defense agreement. they're going to be working together on defense technology. so more to come on that delaware chris. >> there has been a lot of talk about how to exploit that market the best way for america and deal with some of the issues there as well. so it is a big trip. michelle thank you very much. we will check back with you soon. >> a group claiming to support isis hacking the official malaysian website. users trying to log in saw messages hacked by liver squads also isis will prevail. moil meanwhile, a few strategy to wreck isis flight 8501 divers are using twice as much rope and putting deflatable bags inside

the fuselage. a delta flight from l.a. to orlando sunday. it was diverted to dallas following a reported bomb threat sent via twitter. two other flight one jet blue the other sky west. those were quickly evacuated after arriving if seattle. airport officials would only say they were done as a precaution as they are now investigating.

cat-like quickness. >> i like when you say my worst fight pair. >> trip over the dress. >> it's funny you said that about eddie redmayne. py better half saw the film "the theory of everything," they said they shouldn't waste our time. his performance was so powerful. >> i heard that as well. >> meanwhile, meanwhile, back to our news japanese officials desperate to save one hostage held captive by isis. the terrorist is making new demands, what will the japanese do? >> big words are being used epic historic, record-breaking. they are bad terms when you are talking about a blizzard. here's the bottom line it is a potentially life-threatening situation coming to the northeast. we have it all covered for you right ahead.

there should be a truck leaving now. i got it. now jump off the bridge. what? in 3...2...1... are you kidding me? go. right on time. right now, over 20,000 trains are running reliably. we call that predictable. thrillingly predictable. well it does seem isis has beheaded one of those two japanese hostages. a new video reportedly shows one hostage holding a picture of ought after being beheaded.

i'm qualifying it because there is a question whether the video is real. isis is calling for the release of a terrorist in exchange for that prisoner's life. we have a retired army former commanding general of europe and the seventh army. we also have lt. col. james reese and former u.s. delta force commander. general, i'll start with you. thanks to both gentleman for being with us this morning. what are the options before japan in this situation, general? >> chris, we got to continue to remind ours i think, first, that isis is a terrorist organization attempting to use political opportunity but if reality. eighth criminal gang so i think japan is attempting to negotiate, not necessarily meet the terms of isis but at least begin a conversation to see

where we can go on this. i think the drawing in of jordan in this particular situation is such that isis is attempting to do more things. again, reasonsome and kidnapping is an arab cultural norm for criminal gangs. so they lost the first piece and now they're attempting to do other things. so i think this is all a part of the back and forth to gain additional information, operations what we are calling social media advantage by isis. chris. >> colonel, adding the we want a prisoner back to the mix is not new. prisoner exchanges have been done. the u.s. has even done them before. in this situation, is there any chance jordan would give up such a high level killer? >> chris. i don't think so unless the jordanians are able to speak with the leaders of isis and release a deal of the f-16s shot down last month.

>> that would be the only way they would let her go speaking on the ground there, that woman there is a hated woman there. they think she should have been executed years ago after her involvement in that him boing at the sheridan hotel. >> now, because these situation are fluid even when we are not hearing about them. isis has an american female still. supposedly the last american in captivity. do we know anything about her? and the man that is there anything moving? >> first on the female, we know the name and details have not been released because the family asked that not to happen. but one of the things i think is interesting is the quality of film as you pointed out. what is the reason for it being so different than what we've

seen in the past with jihadi john? is it because the japanese auburn hills perhaps maybe thought their captors had to be killed and the one individual was later beheaded and took a snapshot? is it because the bombing campaign in syria has destroyed the isis film-making productions? there are a variety of reasons that cause this particular film to be very different that the intelligence community is looking at it. my sources are telling me all of these things are good times. the very fact that they are clanging changing their information and staying in the news is also an indicator of the damage done to the group. >> i take your point, general.l it's instructive for us. if you are those two men and their families it just seems like there is no good ending to this situation. all right. let switch topics for one second.

colonel, what's happening ifn saudi arabia right now? you have the new king. he says he will follow the new principles and actions up to this point. but it could make a difference. they are literally surrounded by the problem in saudi arabia. what do you see as the potential of the up and down for the u.s. going forward? >> well, right now, chris, i think with president obama going there, they will continue to you know solidify the relationship between the saudis and the u.s. we have a strong military relationship. we got a strong political relationship. right now, we understand yemen, the new king has reached out to the sunni tribes in yemen. by calls, to let them know that the saudis will support them. i think lit just be a kind of day-by-day situation right here. i don't think we are in dire straights right now in yemen. everyone is watching very closely. i think the saudis are prepared to look at different aspects both politically and militarily if things collapse in yemen, especially to protect their back

door in the south. >> one of the things in their relationship we certainly know isis is a staunch enemy and doesn't believe the royal family should exist. so they are motivated to help. colonel, thank you very much general, appreciate your perspective. alisyn. well, flights are cancelled, schools are shutting down, more than 40 million people in the northeast bracing for an epic winter storm. some places facing up to three feet of storm. cnn is tracking everything you need to know to stay safe today. 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.

do not take this blizzard lightly. that is the word from federal, state and local officials, big snow, heavy winds spareing few people between new jersey and maine. 20 million people are under a blizzard warning. that means it's much more likely than not it will happen. 23 million more under winter wet advisories. >> that means, there is a good chance you will be affected as

well. we know airlines are can selling flights. thousands are off the board for today and tomorrow. it's not just snow that makes this a very terrible situation. it will be the wind. that's what taxi you from snow to blizzard. we don't know where it comes from by the way. i couldn't find it. i do know the wind gusts will be up to 66 miles an hour maybe as high as 75. now it takes us into hurricane territory. so a hurricane of snow. that's what a blizzard is. that why we are concerned. let go to cnn's meteorologist cad meyers. i couldn't find the eat ol of that. we will get to that. more than three hours at a time. i will show you how that breaks down when it gets here. here comes the low, runs off the coast. it gathers strength. it gathers energy from the ocean, like a hurricane gathering energy from the ocean. as it get very strong right about here that's when the wrap-around snow is going to

take place. >> that will be tonight. in fact there may be thunder and lightning with the snow. it will be coming down that such a great clip that there will be enough static in the atmosphere to cause thunder and lightening out there. so where do we get it? 20 inches or more to the east. it keeps going, 25 inches possibly to the east of new york city. now, some of these models are trying off a bit because the snow is so offshore so here's where we go a blizzard. it isn't just something we made up. there are technical terms for the word "blizzard. "you have to have wind. you have to have wind of 25 miles an hour or more. or a long time. have you to have snow coming down. you can have that in the plains where the snow is just everywhere it's blowing around but it's not coming down. we are going to have snow on the ground or blowing on the ground. this has to go for three or more

hours. here you go a big time snow event this is where we will see it. will we break records? maybe so. new york city i'm thinking probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 inches. maybe 20 at the outset. the most you could possibly gentlemen further up into the andirondacks. certainly possible. close to breaking all time records from 2006 to 2003 wherever it might be. this is a pretty big deal. i need you to be pleased off the roads, because once you get stuck on the roads, everybody else is getting stuck. you know it's coming please be smart. >> all right, chad thanks, so much for that important update. for more on what new york is doing to break for that storm. it could be the biggest. we are joined by teresa cantore. thank you so much for joining us

at this hour. >> reporter: i'm here. >> when you hear chad say that two to three feet may fall somewhere between new york and boston what are you doing to prepare for that? >> well we evacuated our mortgages operations center. we have snow removal equipment and we are monitoring the storm, obviously. the governor has issued warnings he's asked people to stay home today. the snow is probably going to be picking up in intensity, right around the time people will be commuteing. we've asked people to stay home if possible. stay off the roads. it's very important that people remember that people need to get through the emergency vehicles need to get through. where the big danger with this type of snow is the snow is blowing and drifting. it's going to be a dry snow. >> that makes it harder or easier? >> well it makes it harder,

because it will be drifting and blocking the roads. >> the governor is asking people to stay home today. what about closing schools? >> the governor doesn't close schools t. mayor closes schools. i haven't heard whether the mayor is closing the schools. >> you know one of the last storms we saw in this area was a huge blizzard him people ended up getting stuck on the highway as you will recall. so will roads be closed? >> there is a possibility that roads will be closed. people should monitor the weather reports. monitor the news very closely. this is a possibility of long island especially and ought roads being closed if conditions call for that. but at any rate people should only go out as absolutely necessary. >> how many emergency teams do you have standing by? >> oh every emergency in the state is on alert. >> all right. teresa we know you have a busy

day. thanks so much for taking the time to update us on the preparation. thank you. as the storm moves, so is the situation. we will stay often it all morning so you can prepare. even if are you not on the coast, it will affect you where you live. >> so we go from the storm that will literally affect millions of people to a story that is around the patriots. will they escape deflate-gate even if they are not guilty? hey, andy. >> good morning, yeah it doesn't look like the nfl is going to conclude their investigation any time soon. tom brady says the league hasn't spoken to him. they don't think they will be every the super bowl. it's pretty much a loss it will remain a discussion. the defending seahawks arriving in phoenix yesterday. when asked ability the patriots role richard sherman, once

again, did not hold anything back. >> will they be punished? probably not. not as long as robert craft and roger goodell are taking pictures at their respective homes. i think it was just at craft's house last week for the nfc champion. you talk about conflict of interest. >> patriots are holding a fan rally at city hall later today at 11:00 eastern. owner robert craft, bill belichick, tom blade di all expected to address the crowd. the theme e team will then get on a plane and head for phoenix. mikaela, i won't be too far behind. looking forward to media day, watching how the patriots handle answering all those questions about deflate-gate all day. they have to sit there for an hour and answer questions from the media all around the world. >> it might turn into deflect-gate. >> i like it. >> the pressure. >> absolutely.

the rates for 2016 kicks in as gop candidates try to win over voters at the iowa freedom summit. attendees include chris christie sarah palen, scott walker. two of the biggest names jeb bush and mitt romney were no-shows. joining us the editor-in-chief is john avlon and cnn commentator and sirius xm host margaret gruber. >> happy monday! >> it seems as though the battle

lines may distinguish temss from each other. let me show you some of the son we heard this weekend. >> you know in a republican primary, every candidate is going to come in front of you and say, i'm the most conservative guy that ever lived. gosh darn it who did leave out conservative? well you know what talk is keep. >> taking a trip to some foreign city for two days does not make you henry kissinger. >> if i was too blunt, too direct too loud and too new jersey for iowa then why do you people keep inviting me back? >> margaret is this the first moment where we start to see them sort of fight between themselves? >> i don't think this is fighting between themselves as much. though i do think you are right. they're beginning to distinguish theorist how they are different from the others. what i think what's more than anything is you are right, it's a warm-up him but this is not essential. the other person who didn't come was bobby jindal. do you know why?

he was hosting his own spiritual arrival in batten runl. >> a spiritual revival? >> as born again catholics. to try to vote for them. they're all beginning to start flexing their muscles. they're beginning to get their -- even though she never won an election she anticipates my view anticipates being selected as a vice presidential nominee, especially running against hillary. i think it's an important exercise because it's not just red meat. these were thoughtful conservative ideas she talked about abortion dog fights. overregulation community banks. >> can we get real for a second? >> she's more experienced than the secretary of state hillary clinton because she traveled a lot, too? >> she will throw benghazi out there as the dead fish. >> one of the things is they were thrown hey-makers.

if you are trying to be somebody. >> this is the caucus steve king's cattle call. we cover it. because not only is it the first time it's the first time they say something incredibly crazy. we are all hoping for the car crash and there were a lot of them. sarah palen, you could diagram those sentences for days and not make sense of them. but this is the place where the people come to pander and play to the base. the reason you don't go you actually think being responsible might get you the nomination. that's a tough bet in the republican party. we saw people pandering and the weirdness comes out. >> poppycock. poo diddly. >> i think it's an important people. people tone their speeches. sarah pal isn't fought running for anything. donald is not running for

everything. that is what is sort of nutty about this event. look, there were some serious contenders there along with a in the of fought serious contenders. the bottom line is this is a fawn essential event. bobby jindal didn't go, you know why? he's trying to hide anyway. they're all going to iowa. keep in mind iowa is the republican conference goers. 50% sit with republicans nationally. the other are the conservative christian crowd mitt romney didn't win. what mats is the inertia. they're basically 50-50. >> he started a pack. >> that's big news. what's what you do if you are running for president you follow the money, starting a pack is the first step for running for president. do you that at this point in the cycle. it's real. >> speaking of..

some are seeing a divide between the grass roots candidates and the big donor candidates scott walker ted cruz rick perry, are the big donor once is that how it will break down? >> chris arreolaty has big donor support. the center right and the far right and two different paths to get to that nomination. this is sort of the skis him brewing for a long while. the folks on the center right have the best chance of being elected president. let just get real. the argument is that the grass roots folks pay have a path at least until you get to big states like florida. >> i think marco rubio and scott walker have done a lot of things on a massive scale. >> i wouldn't put rubio in a pure grass roots. >> what most of the candidates are doing there, they're making a calculation, purely based on numbers in 2012. there was a turnout from

evangelical christian white men. if you can drum up enough of them and get them to the polls in 2016. have you in sheer numbers enough people to get to the polls. >> more white people is so done. >> you are right. it is not a formula for the future of america. >> margaret did form a new term born again catholic. is that a term born again catholic? >> when was the last time you went to church? >> yesterday. no born again catholic. >> i seen a lot of catholic conversions, jeb bush future gingrich. but a lot have convergence. >> i will tell you what. another theme, these politicians are trying to connect. another blockbuster week. what sit about the movie resonating across the country?

welcome back to "new day." "american sniper" about the navy seal chris kyle made more than $2 humidity million. as the story draws people to the box office the first auto biography from the army ranger sniper will be hitting book shelves tomorrow. it's called the "the reaper." nick joins us in studio nick latter irving. i was reading your book. you believed it was going to be aer boing old deployment. four months eight larry, 33 killed the deadliest sniper in your battalion, you were just 23-years-old. >> i was 22 at the time yes. >> my goodness. >> it's quite an experience. >> why did you want to tell your story in your new book?

>> for me it was more or less therapy and i wanted to get a few other stories out there of a guy who saved my life and i don't think i would be here today if it were not for benjamin copp. he put his life on the inloo. five minute after he rescued us he paid the ultimate sacrifice. >> you say it was therapy writing it. because of catharsis, you had to deal with what happened over there. >> the kills never bothered me it was the guys i saw die. >> help us understand that. i'm reading the book. the way you tell is is very very personal story first of all. it's not particularly graphic. it's not particularly brutal. yet, what you are doing is and had to do was brutal. the ultimate sacrifice, really having to take a person's life to protect your own men. people will struggle with that. help us understand how you can turn off one part of your brain, yet the other part can struggle.

>> i don't think i saw people at that time right before i pulled the trigger, i was thinking math at that point. i never viewed them as human beings almost. i had close to five sniper schools when i went over there. it was just math at that point. >> you can often tell a man what's on his arms especially when they're in the service. what do the different tattoos mean to you? >> the 3rd ranger battalion tattoo we call the mark of the beast. that our logo. then i have the sniper on my right arm. his mom corporeal benjamin copp gave me this bracelet. i am into the old school 1920-1930 fichls i have the franken stein on my arms and a keyhole, it's a saying we have in the sniper section when you keyhole somebody. i don't want to get too graphic,

but. >> precise, accurate small shot. >> oh yeah. >> considering you are a fan of the film. i know you seen "american sniper." i'm curious watching it as a fan of film then also as a sniper. an american sniper. >> it really hit home for me especially his time back at home. some of the struggles he went through. i went through my own struggles as well. a lot of nights you don't sleep, a lot of night you wake up you find yourself with a pistol in your hands, not knowing what's going on. i became an alcoholic for two years pretty much. i went through a lot of i guess different things in life. >> how'd you deal with it? >> i had a dream one of our guys that died andrew santiago he came to me in a dream and said "stop." that was it. >> why do you think this movie "american sniper" has resonated

with the public? >> why do you think it's so popular? >> it's not so much the killing, it's the time back at home t. family lifestyle an what it's like for wives that go through the struggles. it's not so much about the 155 kills he had. >> i think it's important for you are to be letting people know. there is a big difference between what is valued by us and what is valued by the men and women who actually have to go there and do the job. people are ignoring his own ptsd the work he did with other people. it's all about this guy is a hero. you see what he did there. when you get celebrated for making the kills. i know that a part of the marketing the group. people say you are cruel you killed all those people. you did this you came back. that's what people say to you all the time. how do you take that? what really matters to you? >> that i'm just a regular guy. there is i'm just a regular guy t. kims don't mean anything that

was one deployment. the first deployment to iraq. i don't reallity about the kills. >> if i could tell someone what it's like to take someone's life at that age, i don't know what i would say. it's -- it changes you big time. >> do you tievend that there is comfort in meeting with some of your fellows. >> i don't, yeah. >> and talking through some of this? or do you find being with them is enough? >> being with them. it's a tally. it's a big, big family. if they ever feed anything from me they know i'm always there. it's just the family. talking ab it getting off your chest, it's a therapy. >> boy, did you do that in this book? we want to tell everyone it's deadliest ops, nicholas irving the author. we appreciate you writing this catharsis

for you. >> there is another war here at home. you need the support you should get from all of us. thank you very much. good luck with your book going forward. this is one of the stories we are covering this morning. solet get to it. >> we are facing most likely one of the largest snowstorms in the history of this city. >> 18 to 24 inches of snow. >> we do have the plows ready to go. >> this is going to be a wig one. >> the winds will be gusting, 40 50 miles per hour. >> i will believe it when i see it. i hope it won't be as bad as they say. >> isis beheaded one of two japanese hostages. >> isis continue to set the terms here. >> they want the release of a

convicted tourist. >> there is "new day." >> good morning, everyone. welcome back to "new day." the northeast is about to get slammed by what is being called a historic winter storm. at least two-feet of snow set to fall over the next couple of days maybe more in some part of new england. 20 million people from new jersey to maine are under a blizzard warning, this morning with 23 million more under winter weather advisories. >> everybody is being told to prepare and airlines are taking no chances. they are already pulling the plug on thousands of flights for today and tomorrow. major cities are being called up. new york philadelphia boston all warning people to be prepared for something like they have never seen before. they're telling us it is not hype. so we're going to give you the information. please use it the best way you can. we have it covered from every angle we can. let begin with cnn meteorologist chad myers. take a look at the areas that

will get hit and why, chad. >> this is a storm that will be called a bomb off the north coast. winds are going to be 60 or 70 miles per hour. we are talking about how much snow will be on the ground 24 hour inches possibly, a lot less here in new york city. probably 12 to 15. but it will be the wind that will make a six-foot drift and next to that drift, you are going to see the ground. so you are never really going to know how much snow you have because of how the wind is. my favorite snack as a child was a hobo. i'll tell you why that matters. this storm is going to turn into a hoho. if you are on the cream side you are pounded in the snow. if are you in the cake part it stops. it will be on and off and on and off for hours. even tonight, we could certainly see thunder snow as the storm rolls up wraps up. this is the biggest part of this storm, we could have

two-to-three inches of snow per hour. that doesn't take long to add up to significant snow. with the blowing snow it will be drifting down the street t. modems are different. this is the european model saying a lot of snow for new york. maybe a little less for boston. another model for the united states the gfs, very dry only 12 inches of snow for new york city and boston gets pounded with over 2-feet. a model i like to use the rpm has about six-to-ten in new york. still over that 2-feet in boston. you see how this hoho effect can change if you are under the white part which is snow or you are under the cake which is just wrapped in dry air for a while. and it's going to be here and there and you could be ten miles from one side of a 25-inch snowfall down the river, down the hudson could be ten inches of snow instead ten miles. that how this storm is going to shape up. it's going to be so violent out there with even thunder snow coming down tonight.

>> finally cad puts it into terms we can understand. the hoho. >> thunder snow is though what i heard. >> of course the scary part. not the delicious part. >> the only part i didn't buy, it was only a kid he ate hohos. >> now i eat little debbie's because they're cheaper. >> you can come up with something on the next hitch. >> on the cake side. let's go to cnn meteorologist jennifer grey she's live in boston that would be the cream side of the hoho. some of the worst conditions are expected there. you don't have folks tend the metaphor. but what is going to happen up there? why and how are people seeming to take it? are they taking it seriously? >> yeah you know the mayor's office has urged people to take this one seriously. they are comparing it to that president's day blizzard of '03. it could be as bad. you can see behind me cars on the road him we have joggers out there. it looks like business as usual.

in fact, kids public schools will be in session for today. they will make that decision later today whether to close school for tomorrow. be you the mayor's office says they feel like they are ready. they have 700 trucks ready to go. 35,000 tons of salt which they haven't had to use so far this season. look at all the snow already on the ground though. we have several inches of snow and where we seen plows come through from the snow a couple days ago. it is piled up thick on some of the sidewalks. we are expected to see snow come down like chad said two-to-four inches an hour by the time we get through tonight. expect to see snow possibly by wednesday and then because of the blowing snow and those blizzard conditions we will see snow drifts six and seven feet high. >> that will be above my head. it is going to make for dangerous conditions. they are urging people to stay off the roads. the preparations should have already been made. hopefully, you have been to the store, fumed up your car, your generator, things like that. because the possibility of power

out annuals will be a major concern. mikaela, as we go through the next 24 48 hours, as we mentioned before most of the flights have been cancelled for tomorrow. most likely wednesday as well. it will be a nightmare. not only for the northeast, but much of the country. >> yeah it has that trickle down effect. thank you very much jennifer. let talk more about the travel. it will be as jennifer mentioned impacted big time by this impending storm. right now, she mentioned 1,800 flights are cancelled. more will be. let get the latest from christina lecci. she's at laguardia in new york city. you see a already "cancelled" on the board? >> reporter: absolutely mikaela. you mentioned that almost 2,000 numbers of flight cancelled at new york city. 200 flights cancelled. delta saying 600 nationwide altogether. tomorrow we expect more announcements as the day goes

on but these airlines are being proactive. they don't want the crowds at the airport. they want to manage the situation. they don't want to have to book people at homes. because that ends up being more expensive for them. so far, that strategy has worked. there are very few people online at ticket counters talking to representatives about rebooking. even the security line seals to be manageable at this point mikaela, i'm trying to find frustrated travelers. i can't find a whole on the of them. the ones have been rebooked. as for the flight not cancelled. you can see on the board behind me they're pretty much on time. one of the main issues for pilots during snow is visibility. so they can't use water called visual flight rules. they have to use their equipment to stake off and land. that means more time between planes. so that is what is going to cause the delays. in addition to ice and other

things today, mikaela. so i would expect that board to be red pretty soon. >> all right, alesci. that's the problem with you media, you are looking for trouble even when it isn't there. you don't have to rush it. >> reporter: you know chris, trouble is my middle name. i got to be looking for it. >> i never met an italian named trouble. now i have. look we can't control the storm and what comes our way, but our elected leaders are responsible with how they can control the response. natural disasters can be big tests of leadership. new york mayor bill deblasio is slammed for a moderate snowstorm. this is the first major weather event. lots of people are depending on planning and choices. let discuss this part of the story. cnn political commentator and anchor at new york 1 news and john kelly, political analyst for wbz tv news in boston.

gentleman, thank you very much. both the big cities covered here. i remember the blizzard of 1978. i don't know how much snow there was. a couple feet. i remember the mayor ed koch coming to queens. my father lost the election. he was still a he. >> reporter: he came and made sure we were okay. how big are the stakes? >> stakes are very big. in fact in that case everyone since has been sort of scarred or marked by what happened in 1969 when 15 inches fem unexpectedly on a sunday. john lindsay was the mayor at the time. 45 years later, they're still talking about how bad that reasons was, how for three days people were unable to get out of tear driveways, out of their homes. and everybody since then has really sort of tried to work hard to at least be present. at least be on top of things. even that doesn't always work. >> let's pick up on that part. john this is one of those sixes where it doesn't matter if the criticism is unfair. if it feels bad the politicians

get blamed. the stakes are very high. how is it going to happen? how is it playing out there in terms of planning in boston? >> right. you are absolutely right, christians never forget the fate of poor michael blandic, the mayor of chicago in the '70s who lost his primary to jane burn primarily because of a weak response to the storms. marty walsh, the new player has been in office for years. it's interesting, before he took office he appointed the most experienced person he could find to oversee snow removal. right now, you know it looks like it's shaping up to be a fairly easy haul at least during the storm. it's going to come in at night. everyone has warning. you don't have the nightmare of people getting snowed in during the commute. for walsh. i am sure this is true of other big city mayors. the real test may come after the storm. how quickly and thoroughly do you get the snow out of will? what happens with the parking

space savers? we are big on that in boston. you put the pylon, a kitchen sink or a half of a pan kin in the parking space you shoveled out claiming you own it. the city has banned that. that could lead to heavy duty conatlantic. >> that's interesting. it's not a bad idea until they ban it. obviously, people watch the snow. my brother is the governor of new york he is obsessive about situations like this. and you ask him why. he says this is a metaphor for people in government. either it works or it doesn't work. is that what the pressure is about? >> exactly, your brother has the key to this whole thing. his control of the metropolitan trgs authority the buses the subways, that's really what makes new york go. we are a city of islands. you take down the transit system. people can't go from one place to another. everything is in place. >> that sort of is a very heavy burden for everybody to bear.

that's a very tough decision that somebody is going to have to make. >> john is there ever a price for going too far? closing the schools too soon. too much road salt. too much money spent in preparation if the storm doesn't wind up being devastated? >> oh absolutely. you have to walk a fine line. former governor deval patrick here in massachusetts got in big trouble early in his first term. because a storm was coming in. he released all state workers to go home in the middle of the day. it turned out everybody else was leaving at the same time. the entire metro area was gridlocked and the air was thick with the taking of governor patrick's name in vain. fast forward a few years later, he issued a ban on non-essential travel under penalty of law. some people were upset about that. but he avoyed the nightmare of cars being stuck, blocking the highways. people stranded out in the cold and he did better if that instance. it's a fine line to walk. you want to be careful about

overdoing it with the nanny state business after mayor deblasio's press conference yesterday, where he's telling everyone do this don't do that do this. i saw someone tweeting thank you, mommy. which reflects the resistance to being bossed around. >> no question about it. good luck to you up there. we will check back in with you. new rochelle. we hope you do. right. we will talk with boston's new mayor in our next hour. we will continue to track this monster storm all morning. so you can track the information and do with it what you will. >> we sure will. there has been another breach of white house security. except this time it's not a person on the white house grounds. let's go right to joe johns at the white house for us. what is it joe? >> reporter: alisyn it's a drone, we are told by authorities. apparently landed here on the

white house lawn early this morning. we are told it's not going to be a threat to anyone. authorities really don't know what they have. there is an increased security presence here at the white house and started early this morning. the president was not here. the first lady was not here. they were both traveling in india. >> that also is where josh earn ernest is. >> a device recovered by the secret service by the white house. early indication is there wasn't an ongoing threat for anybody right now at the white house. >> so the secret service is waiting until daylight comes in here to try to clear the grounds, in other words to search for other pieces or devices, that might be present on the white house lawn. that could be complicated of course, be i the weather which is pretty bad right now, mikaela, back to you. >> joe john thank you so much for. that we will be watching that situation. we see the snow starting to fall

behind you there in d.c. to now a killing new demand from isis this morning after apparently beheading one of two japanese hostages. we want to turn to will ripley tracking the developments live from tokyo. will. >> mikaela, this new isis video demands they hand over a convicted terrorist responsible, partially responsible for an attack where 60 people died. they want her back in the fold because she is facing the death penalty and has ties to isis. her brother was a top leader in al qaeda and iraq. 2003 and 2004 and a lot of the top isis lead herbs are iraqi. forgiveing her back into the fold for isis would be a major propaganda win. it's a difficult deal to work out. they have a special enjoy on the ground. jordan had its own hostage, a pilot and they're not going to be willing to give up a high

valued prisoner without getting something in return. so lot happening. but the urging concern here in tokyo is trying to negotiate the safe return because people were shot over the weekend when they video came out showing the brutal beheading. chris in there we will check back with you in a bit. malaysia airlines website has been tacked by a group claiming to be isis. they found 404 plane not found they saw isis will prevail. in greece they are claiming the party left behind. they are pledging to get out of the red and roll back us aausterity

measures. nasa says a big asteroid will fly past earth. you don't have to worry about it. it's a third of a mile long if you have a strong pair of binoculars or a telescope, you might be able to see it. however, it's not going to hit earth, mikaela. >> a quarter of a mile long. >> that would be our top story, it is not expected to come this close to earth again until 2027 so make sure you see it now. this asteroid closes no threats. >> i am happy to help you. in the wake of the michael brown and erick garner cases, police are trying to rebuild trust in their commune. so how will they do that? we will talk with new york police commissioner william bratton about his plans. >> why wasn't mitt romney in iowa? is it true, he is days away from

. >> all right. here's a live shot for you of new york city. hours away from a possibly

history-making blizzard. joining us to discuss how the police are readying for the storm as well as the recent challenges facing the police commissioner bill bratton, he joins us now. welcome. >> how is the city preparing for this blizzard? >> the city is prepared for this event. the police department we have the capability of holding our tours of duty at the end of a tour. with we need extra personnel. >> do you think you will need extra personnel? >> we may, depending on the storm him we have the tow trucks the city out leadss 911 centers are going by the police department. we are prepared. we will have extra resources if necessary. >> i am wondering, if there are two feet of snow how will they get to people who feed help? >> one of the best are different types of vehicles. we have many more of the suburban-type vehicles. they will move around in these types of storms versus traditional police cars. we have the ability to put

chains on street cars. but the sanitation department here in new york does a good job of getting the snow off the street quickly. >>let go over the overarching attention developed between it seems the police officers and the mayor and the police officers and some of the communities that they police. do you know how bad it appears to have gotten in new york? you have written an op-ed for the most about what you think has caused some of this and what can solve it? what was your message? >> the message was, really we need to be engaged in dialogue rather than rhetoric. there is an awful lot of rhetoric during the issues we are facing. >> heated rhetoric? >> and we need to find common ground to launch that we engage if meaningful conversations, that we can fiend ways to collaborate better tan we have in the past. we are coming out of the tensions the last several months. but it is giving us that ability

to get on to a common ground to start talking with each other. >> it seems you blame in large part the stop and frisk policy of your predecessor, what effect that has on the troubled community. let me read an excerpt. you say people in these communities suffer post-from the crime that persist in the city. they are also the least satisfied with the police. in these neighborhoods, people feel overpoliced and under protected. in no this paradoxical feeling comes in large part from the use of stop question and frisk. you know proponent of stop and frisk it's known in its vernacular it dead to the plummeting of the high crime rate in new york we saw in the 1980s when we stop and frisk, rudy guiliani we say that allows it to be proactive, to stop crime before it hams. >> i think i know a little about. that i was the police commissioner in 1994.

we began the decline. so i have a little personnel perspective on that. the stop question and frisk was a essential tool of policing. like a the treating patients how much medicine do you give the patients? what happened here the dosage as the patient was getting better is too high. we ramped it down to 50,000 a year. last year was a record low time in the city of new york. >> we have a graph that shows that dosage and the increasing dosage of stop an frisk. here is the graph. it shows it ramped up in 2003. to your point, it keeps there at 2010 and 2010. then you see the precipitous dropoff. yet the bottom line there doesn't seem to pick up. are you confident even without the stop and frisk policy you will be able keep that red line there low of violent crimes? >> we will be able to keep crime

down in new york city. it will spike from time to time. looking at it over a period of time not just on a week-to-week basis. i am confident we can keep the crime lates low. how low? we still don't know. >> there is another piece of your op ed you say this here is the unspoken secret of the police community divide. the minority communities don'tp us to back down. despite that negative per ception, they call it time and again and time and again we answer the calls. is there, do those communities bear some responsibility as has been suggested for policing their own neighborhoods and trying to bring crime down in their own neighborhoods? >> it's a great question. the police can fought be held accountable for all of what goes on in communities for minorities and non-minority that there is the need for both the police and the public to obey the law, if you will operate within the

law. so why are we there in those communities? because we are needed there. they're calling us about the began, about the prostitutes. we're not there on our own. we are there in response to their calls for assistance. we need to find balance as where they are per sithing. >> so commissioner what's thencer? . >> the answer is exactly where we are at this time. we are recognizing that there is a problem. we are recognizing that it is not going to resolve by just the community, the leadership the police it will require all of us to work ard at it. here in new york we are adopting strategies training regimens that we feel very comfortable that will over time allow us to if you will reduce the tension that has been clearly there. this is not just our situation. this is a natural situation. >> retraining of officers is that under way? >> we are constantly training officer, we have expanded

significantly the training regimen from two days a year, a lot of that training is on better tactic on better ways to deal with the public. constantly trying to find new ways that our offices can get into these troubled communities and interact in a way that we heal and don't divide. >> commissioner bill bratton, good luck with that. thank you so much for being here on "new day." >> these 48 hours will be key, hunker down that's the word for millions of people in the path of a monster blizzard about to hit the northeast. here are some live pictures. it looks pretty mild and calm out here in new york. but we are hours away from what is expected to be massive amounts of snow. we will keep you up to date on just how much snow is on the way. his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com. ♪♪ edward jones.

wind. really the wind is a big factor. 50 60 70 miles per hour. so here's the exposure. 20 million people are under a blizzard warning. 23 million are under winter weather advisories. >> that means there is a significant chance this could happen. pay attention. thousands of flights already being cancelled preemptively bus they're seeing the same things the winds again expected to be particularly bad. snow hurricane. bad combination. >> government officials in tokyo are skranling to sooiv save the life of a japanese hostage by isis. a second has been beheaded. isis is offering to spare the remain hostage in exchange for the release of a convicted female bomber who is facing the death penalty if jail in jordan. a rescue operation is under

my man. swimsuit killer. >> the republicans event looked exactly the same over the weekend in iowa. brace yourself prepare for the snow if you feed supplies go fwout and get it. let look inside politics. with me to share the rt roing, jackie kucinich jonathan martin. it was a beauty contest in iowa and a follow up last night the coke brothers. they used to call it invisible. all the events candidates go around. the coke brothers are big donors. watch this exchange. this week in the senate those who want to add the additional sanctions. the president doesn't like it. look at this exchange. it tells you not only about the differences, here is ted cruz and rand paul disagreeing over

iran. >> we are allowing iran to continue building centrifuges and enriching uranium. they have been negotiating for two years. this is the worst negotiation in the history of mankind. >> what are we going to do? are you ready to send ground troops into iran? are you ready to bomb them? are you ready to send them into iraq? do you want them in syria, in libya in? the someplace amess. it's been a mess for a thousand years. we have to think about what really are the practical results of not negotiating. >> this will be a dividing line on capitol hill in the coming weeks. it will also clearly be a dividing line in the republican presidential primary. >> great. what struck me about this. rand palm was determined to be a reasonable republican in the room. he used to be more on track with his father the non-interventionalist type thing. now he's saying maybe sanction. let talk about diplomacy, ted cruz was bombastic language and

rubio has been very hawkish. so you will see that play out. >> yeah. >> to me it wasn't that rand paul is isolated. there is fought really other candidates in the race. you see senator paul there trying to basically say, look the alternative is 100,000 ground troops. in the play it's going to be a rough challenge for him. because the instinct on this party of this policy is going to be towards the more hawkish side of things. >> at the same event. a lot of people said about ted cruz one thing that probably never been said is he's subtle. he says the coke brothers if you haven't saw campaigns give in a lot of money as in millions and millions to republicans and conservative causes. ted cruz made that pretty clear. >> there are a bunch of democrats who have taken as their talking point that the

coke brothers are the nexus of ail evil in the world. i admire charles and david coke. they are businessmen who have created hundreds of thousands of jobs. >> and please send money. >> right. >> i can't imagine why he would say that at a coke brothersee event. >> how importants we can laugh about it. how important is the coke primaries, if you will. because they have a number of conservative organizations. they did prove at the grass roots level. they organized a lot. they spent a lot of money. right now, they're funding a huge study of what happened in 2014. >> it's effectively a parallel party with the rnc. to me it's most relevant john if they decide to throw us behind. that's not the question. >> they will pick a candidate. >> they will support the republican nominee. leading up to it. that's the question.

yes. that the question. >> we had some questions about whether chris christie would wait or whether he would get all in. he hasn't announced the campaign yet. he says he is considering or exploring it. chris christie is starting a pack to support a christie candidacy. he was at this iowa event this weekend. look we will disagree from time to time but -- >> now, i'm sure you will not agree with me or any other candidate on every single issue. in fact let me give you some advice. if you want a candidate that will agree with you 1 u.% of the time. go an look in the mirror. you are the only person you will agree with 100% of the time. >> he loves that line. he's used it before. but if iowa just going was interesting. it's a pretty conservative nominated event. the knock on christie is he is mod. >> reporter: he says i am not. look at my views on abortion. i'm tough on spending. the question is he seems all in

even though we thought he might wait until the federal investigation of southbridge gate was over. >> the segment is that he's either good at bluffing or he doesn't think anything will come out. he hired mitt romney's top people in iowa. so he is making moves. he seems real serious. >> he has a campaign apparatus. he's putting together. he's traveling the country. he's doing all the things you do to run. so. >> i have very little doubt that chris christie what his ceiling is in iowa how much of his being there is about expectations. >> the wisconsin governor seems to get high marks. anybody else that you think won or lost even though it's early? >> sarah palen's speech is one of the more important speeches. if possible she's gone a little more to the right and scary

phase crazy. >> i think walker comes out as the lone wolf for a lot of folks in iowa. one of the great day nammics is going to be how much in that state does having experience help you? the last two caucus runners, do those two folks own their votes from last time? or is that up for grabs now? >> jeb bush skipped that event. you can look at it right now. another guy is mitt romney. it was mentioned in the peter hamm tweet. larry king in salt lake city over the weekend ran into a guy mitt romney and his wife anne. larry king said that mitt told him, larry, tweeted a selfie he would decide within the next two weeks ability whether he's really going to run. >> seeing mitt romney in salt lake city.

he was seeing jeb bush for that meeting. but i pump to one of the romney folks and he told voters in new york he was thinking about this the lean i was given is he will have to figure this out in the next 60 days. that's probably a bill long. two weeks makes sense. he seen jeb bush run around the country and lock down a lot of donors. >> that is one of the things in the handy piece, when he made that in new york. a lot of the donors are committed to jeb bush. the window is closing as the two romney the money is at this point. >> it is a big republican field. we should know pretty soon alisyn,s with we get back to you in new york. "saturday fight live" it was almost all politics including this little look back at the state of the union. . >> after republicans during the state of the union applauded when president obama said he had no more campaigns to run, obama

said it was no good. >> the speaker gets shall we say, barbed about his skin color. >> i'm familiar with those punch lines. all right, john thanks, so much. the northeast is about to get walloped. we are tracking this monster storm for you. a and the white house wants to get the go ahead to fight isis on a global scale. will congress goive the president the green light for there? we will ask the former chair of the house intelligence committee. .

nding a prisoner in jordan be set free for exchange of a hostage, this as the white house wants congress to give them new authorization to fight isis around the globe t. military is hoping for a completely open-ended authorization. let discuss it with mike rogers cnn national commentator a. former chair and republican congressman from michigan.

so glad to talk to you. i wish it were about ought things. this is such a horrible proposition we are dealing with this japanese hostage whose life is on the lean right now. we know isis now is saying in exchange for this man's life being spared we want jordan to release a terrorist from jail. i am curious what your thoughts are and what japan is to do in there situation. >> i think it's important to remember when isis asked for the $200 million. that was more of a political statement than a foray into negotiations for his release. $200 million is what japan had pledged in humanitarian aid in iraq and syria during this crisis. just like we saw in the foley case the american reporter foley, who was ultimately beheaded. they put a large number on it

$130 million which is outside the bounds of real negotiation and there was no contact in order to facilitate negotiations. >> you don't think they are willing to negotiate? >> i don't. i think that's why they were so easy to switch from the $200 million. if it was serious, it would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 until asked. >> this is a woman suspected of being a terrorist, was accused of it. has gone to jail for it. she is on death row. they want her released in exchange for sparing the life of this remaining hostage, do you think that is a fair or honor, a trade they are willing to honor? >> no, i don't. she was caught with her sue sid vest on in the facility. he blew up his vest. they killed some 45 people in a wedding. her vest didn't go off. she was apprehended at the

scene. if you recall this was at the time zarkawi in iraq the guy sweeping through western iraq he was beheading people chopping people's hands off. pretty brutal al qaeda affiliate. so there is more politics and messaging than there is real negotiation. unfortunately, for the hostages. >> you have long said that we won't negotiate with terrorists. but again this horrible proposition is the fact that there is already one japanese family mourning a loss. a horrific death. we have another family hanging in the balance waiting the fate of their loved one. >> that is a hard and difficult choice to have to make. >> it really is difficult. there is nothing easy about t. we have to remember their goal and aim isn't about the facilitating. it's about spreading troorks messaging and propaganda.

they cared very little when they took them hostage. they don't care for them today, you can't have nation states dictated by what is sheer brutality by these people. >> that is the hardest part of this. unfortunately, they're very good as their propaganda. their social media is very very good. they're very aggressive with it. they understand it and they're using it very effectively. >> congressman, let's turn quickly to the military and to the global effort to eradicate isis. let talk about the u.s. we know the president has asked congress to sign an authorization of use of military force. the white house has said in the past they don't need new authorization, that the 2002 authorization covers them just fine. i'm curious where you stand on all this? >> i think they need the authorization. i said last year while i was still a member of the congress and chairman of the house intelligence committee, we need this and should have put it in place before the end of last session. i think the president called for it in his state of the union. this should be a very easy vote.

this should get republicans and democrats together. again, this isn't about sending in troops i don't want viewers at home so say, oh here we go. some will say, here we go again. we will send a lot of troops in. this is about authorization, to have our special capability soldiers do thing that they can't do today or people that don't believe they can do today without legal authorization. we ought to give them that if we are going to ask these very special people to do hard things. let show them america stands with them and this is a great and easy way to do it. this should again bring people together. i think the president will have to walk people through members of congress what his plan is. that's a very important part of this. >> thank you so much for your expertise. >> thank you for having me. >> here's the problem with blizzards. it's not just that they're dangerous. they're expensive. airlines will take a beating. we know. that they have cancelled 12,000 flight. not everyone takes a financial

the blizzard is going to be bad in a lot of ways. one way is economic activity freezing it out. let's bring in christine romans here for cnn money now. i know earnings will be announced but how about earnings? >> in 2010 that big blizzard cost retailers a stunning $1

billion. they lost that. america's research group tells us this blizzard could easily cost that much or more if it disrupts business for a few days. workers stuck at home means retail activity and airlines canceled flights, huge cost for them. the people that feel it this most hourly workers who can't make it in. that means lost wages they won't get back. there are others who will rake in big overtime. public workers could rack up overtime on plows and home depot and lowe's see more business as they prep for bad weather. and amazon they could see more but most people will be too busy shoveling snow to be online. even though you're paying overtime to some workers, public budget budgets pay for that and hurts all the way around.

don't underestimate this storm. storm. >> this could be the biggest snowstorm. prepare for the worst. >> this could be the big one. >> we're looking at wind 40-50 miles an hour. >> i'll believe it when i see it. >> bring it on. >> i'm ready. >> it won't be as bad as i say. >> breach of the white house grounds. >> it's been recovered by the secret service. >> it's a drone we're told. >> it does not serve as any sort of ongoing threat. >> a chilling new demand from isis apparently beheading one of two hostages. >> demands the release of a convicted female terrorist. >> the death count, that's all it is a death count. >> this is new day with chris cuomo, alison camerota and

mikaela pereira. >> good morning. a new day in the east. it is coming. a blizzard and the northeast will remember it for a while. as much as 2 feet set to fall in parts of new england. some places may see 3 feet. a lot of estimates but none good. more than 20 million people from new jersey to maine are under a blizzard warning. the snowfall may not be the worst part. >> hurricane force winds up to 75 miles an hour is a big issue as it whips the snow in major drifts. philadelphia and boston and everywhere in between are urging their residents to do the same. thousands of flights canceled today and tomorrow as the region gears up for what could be the storm of the century. >> we have this storm -- sorry about that alison covered from all angles this morning. we will speak in a few minutes to talk about the preparation ss.

and chad myers looks at which areas are hit the hardest. you can use that ho-ho explanation this hour. >> i will try. all part of the low pressure coming out of the midwest, dropping down into the atlantic ocean, running up towards boston. the closer you are to the low the worse your weather will be. winds will be 70 miles an hour on cape cod and maybe 60 65 in boston. the story will be how the storm winds up when it gets here. when it gets in this warm atlantic water et bombs out. gets much more pressure and wind. and also ocean effect snow blowing back onshore. i know we talk about lake-effect snow for buffalo. a lake. this is an ocean, warmer. this moisture will be pushed back toward new york city toward hartford. not so much to philadelphia. 4-6 inches to philadelphia. the big story as it runs up the

east coast close to boston its closest approach to new york city as well we could get thunderstorms and 2-3 inches of snow per hour 8 to 10 hours, these numbers already work. the numbers here 20-inches for new york city and 20 for boston. not so sure we will get that much here in new york. probably a little less. a lot of models taking rain and snow an pushing it offshore. maybe rain for the cape. new york city somewhere around 15-20-inches of snow. you'll never see it because you will see bare ground next to an 8 foot drift. that's what the winds will do. thanks chad. storm preparations under way where the haven'teaviest snowfall is expected expected. jennifer gray is live where that city is coping. what do you see?

>> reporter: one of the front end loaders went by. this city is gearing up. 35 tons of salt and people are on the roads. it hadn't started yet. business as usual. people getting off the ferry, walking to work and people going to school today and going to make that decision today whatether to cancel school for tomorrow. the temperature is very cold none of this has melted. we have foot or two of snow piled up on the sidewalks and an inch or two across the grassy areas. by later tonight, 7:00 p.m., when the blizzard warning goes into effect we will see up to 2 to 4 inches and possibly up to my waist, with winds blowing at 50 60 70 miles an hour we

could see snow higher than my waist in some location or across that light pole across my shoulders. we will see very dangerous conditions. it will be life-threatening if you try to get outdoors and get in it. the mayor's office is urging people to get ready before it hits. power outages a main concern as we go through the next couple of days not to mention the travel nightmare about to hit the east coast across the country and ripple effect across the world. >> we want people to take this seriously talking about preparations and affecting air travel. a lot of people are smart if you tried to reschedule or re-book your flight. 1800 flights already canceled expect k it to be worse tuesday. and christina is looking at it from laguardia new york in new york city. i imagine a lot of people in new york city have already gone

ahead and rescheduled that flight. >> reporter: they have. because the number of cancellations keeps building. united said it will cancel all of its flights out of northeast hub tomorrow jfk, laguardia where i am now and we're hearing more announcement ss are coming from major carriers about cancellations tomorrow. you ask, why are airlines getting so much in front of this? bad weather hasn't started and they're already canceling flights tomorrow. the last thing they want to see is people sleeping here at the gate and waiting to re-book their flights when they're here. it's much cheaper for the airlines to have consumers call in go online change their flights there. luckily this is a major financial event for airlines and they're saving a ton of money on jet fuel this year so it shouldn't have that much of an impact. one pilot i was speaking to said this is very similar to what airlines did in 2006.

that was an historic storm for new york and they were preemptive in that one in canceling flights as well. he said anything above 50 knots, about 57 miles an hour will shut down an airport and we just heard your meteorologist say that we will see winds much more in excess of that michaela. there are no major delays for the flights that aren't canceled right now. i would expect that board behind me to become red as the day goes on. >> i'll take it from here. thanks for that airline update. this potentially historic airline blizzard is about to set down in boston. we want to bring in boston's mayor, martin walsh, the first major weather event he will teal with as mayor. thanks for joining us on new day. >> thanks for having me today. >> how are you dealing with it at this hour? >> we're prepared. yesterday, we had a meeting

yesterday with all of our might. we will have another one this morning really talking about being prepared for the storm, making sure people take the proper precautions leading into the storm and then we will work on clearing the roads as the storm goes. seems like the storm will be going several hours and may be a couple different efforts to clear the streets. >> they're predicting 2 to 3 feet. i used to live in boston. i lived there for nine years. i loved every second of it. as far as my memory serves it snowed every day there. that's how i remember it. even in the summer. it constantly snowed in boston. i know your city officials are used to it. this one is record breaking. let me put up on the screen what the record totals in boston have been they think this might break. you can see there from february '03, february 1978 february 1969 was a huge one. i remember this one. in march of 19 neech.

then january of '05. the most you got was 27.5 inches. do you think this will beat all those totals? >> hard for me to say that. we hope it doesn't because we have to clear the streets and get people back to work. if that's the case we have to get people ready for it. our crews are trying to prepare for any type of incidents so we don't have serious impacts to our residents here in the city of boston. that's my goal over the next 10 eight hours and after that we talk about snow removal and how we move forward. i've been watching the reports over the last couple of days and as we get closer to this storm we are going to get hit. you can tell by the seriousness of the weather forecasters and cnn and other places. now for me my concern is making sure the residents of boston are

safe and making sure the elderly residents in boston are safe and people in most need are safe. we will be working to get our homeless folks off the streets and in shelters so they have a safe place to be. if we have winter wind drifts you could have one side of the street have a few inches on the ground and across the street have 5 feet the way the wind blows. we're trying to do the best we can in this city of boston to be prepared for it. >> in terms of keeping people safe will you shut schools today? >> we will make an announcement at 1:00. schools will be closed tomorrow. we will be making a formal announcement and looking what happens wednesday and what personnel has to report tomorrow in city hall itself. we do have a hotline in this city hall in boston open 24/7. we will have extra people working on the hotline. we will be announcing all those decisions later on today. we also happen to have a

patriots rally at 11:00 in city hall plaza. >> how will that go? >> we will send the patriots off. it will go great. we will send patriots off hopefully to victory in phoenix and what will happen in this storm and aftermath of it. we have 1700 pieces of equipment and 35,000 tons of salt. we have everything we need to clean the city. it's really being prepared head heading into the storm. >> we appreciate you giving us a preview you will shut schools tomorrow. are you going to have early dismissal today? >> not sure. i don't think we will have early dismissal today because it seems like the snow will start later today. and will have a full day of school and see what happens wednesday. >> martin walsh, thank you for joining us and good luck with the patriots rally and everything else you need to do today. we know you'll be busy. thank you. we want you to know we'll stay on the storm so you can prepare.

send us any pictures you have from your area. we'd love to see those and show those as well. let's go to chris. >> once the story hits we will be there all for you. another breach of white house security this time not a person but a plane that is the culprit. to joe johns at the courthouse,white house, what do we know? >> reporter: it's been described by officials as a small drone. it ended up on the white house lawn at 3:15 a.m. eastern time or shortly there after as far as we know. what's happening right now, a little over a dozen secret service officers are out on the lawn essentially doing what's referred to in law enforcement parlance as a grid search. they're walking about arms length apart across the north lawn looking apparently for any other evidence of this device that appeared here on the white house lawn today. it's not perceived to be a threat of any kind.

nonetheless, authorities are taking this seriously. white house press secretary josh earnest talked about this while traveling with the president in india. >> a device has been recovered by the secret service at the white house. the early indications are that it does not pose any ongoing threat to anybody at the white house. >> reporter: they had the wait until daylight to try to do this grid search and get any idea if there's anything else out there to be concerned about. as you know drones can range from a small toy to a surveillance device. no indication of payload or any other type of problem associated with it at this time. >> that is this concern, not just that it's drone, what could it be carrying or done. thank you for the report. the president is in india today meeting with ceos and nuclear trade and defense deals. in new delhi, i understand yemen

a big topic of discussion there. >> reporter: right. the president is here to meet with the indian prime minister and find cooperation any way they can. now, he's about to speak to a group of ceos here. during question during the white house briefing a lot of that had to do with other pressing topics one being yemen. even while the president's been here in yemen we heard him stay without going into a lot of detail counter-terrorism efforts will continue. we have a lot more questions of that how is that possible apparently given the lack of government right now and loss of those relationships and intelligence gathering. today, white house officials gave some more information on that emphasizing they still have those relationships saying they have long standing methods for gathering information they can still act directly against al qaeda operatives yes meaning drone strikes and have broader

relationships still remain ing yemen including security force and have other contacts with many of the players there in yemen on the political scene, meaning others than who are in the government. they emphasize again counter-terrorism operations will continue although i think it's worth pointing out we have seen the number of drone strikes drop quite a bit over the last few months. >> michele kaczynski, thanks. tomorrow we will have another interview with president obama in india starting at 6:00 a.m. eastern. isis changing its demands this morning, offering to spare the life of the remaining japanese hostage in exchange for the life of a convicted female terrorist in a jordanian jail. is that going the happen? what's this latest from there? >> reporter: we don't know

that's going to happen. like isis itself this hostage situation is unpredictable and volatile and this terrorist group is setting the rules and breaking them as they go. they posted the video, gave a 72 hour deadline and refused to respond to the japanese government when they tried to negotiate only to have this horrendous video showing up over the weekend of the beheaded body and japanese man forced to hold a picture of the body he shames his government needs to his wife the mother of his two young daughters and asks for a prisoner exchange. isis demanding this jordan turnover of convicted terrorist responsible for attack where some 60 people died not something jordan would do easily considering she's a high profile prisoner and they have their own isis prisoners which means the situation now is looking very grim and hope is fading kenji goto will make it home alive.

alison. >> thanks for that update. also breaking overnight, two planes advocated and one flight diverted because of security concerns. a delta flight from los angeles was diverted because of a bomb threat and another from southwest quickly evacuated after arriveing in seattle. airport officials were vague on the causing saying only a precaution and investigating. bo coco hor haram is on attack. the president has pledged continued support in the fight against boco haram. more help is needed. coach belichick tried over the weekend to deflate the controversy over deflategate not known for a loose easy going manner not used a '90s movie

reference that got a little bit of attention. >> i'm not a scientist. i'm not an expert in footballs, i'm not an expert in football measurements just telling you what i know. would not say i'm mona lisa theto of the football world. >> if you can't remember who mona lisa was? lisa le to mei played that character. the 327 didn't come out until 362. it wasn't until the barrel was caught in 264. however in 1964 the correct ignition timing would be 4 degrees before tapping center. >> mixed up. all this deflategate stuff may have you forgetting super bowl 49 is sunday night. have you made your dip? you better do it. >> however. >> however. >> she was great, won the oscar

for that. makes me realize how tough it was to do the timing on those distributors. love electric ignition love it. >> that went right over both our heads. >> i don't know if he was talking about football but i think it was cars. >> in epic proportions gearing up to slam the northeast the massive storm and latest ahead. plus demand has been changed to save the surviving japanese hostage held by isis. we have what could be the best chance for his survival coming up. ake 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.

in a new video, terrorists appear to have killed one of two japanese being held hostage. they make a new demand. forget the $200 million, we want this release of a convicted terrorist for the hostage's life. we bring cnn terrorism analysts. first, i need help with venacular. i've now heard people calling isis dais h or dais ch again. tell us what that means and why we're now hearing it. >> we're seeing people not to use language that portrays isis as a state. isis wants to call itself an islamic state. people like me don't want to see that happen. we're going back to traditional names that get out of giving isis the credibility they want when they say this is the

islamic state that owns territory in syria and iraq. what does it mean? >> i can't recollect the translation of the word. again, you want to get out of the situation. in the past it was isis now, they're saying we're just the islamic state asking for support from places like yemen, india, pakistan. people like me say don't use the language isis want us to use. >> paul tell me what it is and if it's legit. >> it's a play on initials in arabic. isis considers it a pejorative term that makes them mad when people use it. perhaps why people use it. the french have argued for using this term. they don't like it one little bit. >> your video and question about its legitimacy. >> questions about the legitimacy.

not a video, just audio. you hear one of the hostages you don't see things happening. the editing is much poorer quality than before no isis logo on the video. also the mother and stepfather said the voice doesn't sound like their son would sound speaking english. there's certainly some doubt from experts about this video video-audio put out. the united states and japanese government have said so far they believe it's authentic. also a radio station in isis controlled territory that put out the same message. quite possible the real deal but still some doubts. >> why are people in your community still intrigued if it's legit or different from others. >> you get indications from this kind of video or audio what's going on within the organization. in this case as paul said the characteristics of this audio are so much different we've seen previously from isis leads you to believe, why would this

change? one of the reasons i think this might have happened been reflecting it the past few days isis has been suffering setbacks lost territory. the kurds took territory back from them. this might be an indication they don't have the same level of security to make the high level audio-video we've seen in the past. we don't know obviously but one thing i've been thinking about. >> any chance the jordanians release this hostage for the japanese man. we know the u.s. has done swaps before. >> i think this attack in jordan was traumatic, 57 people killed three americans killed a lot of jordanians lost their life that day. this women was involved in that. the only reason -- she had an explosive vest. it didn't explode. a confession on television. she's spending life in prison. very unlikely they would swap

her. if they would swap her for anybody, that jordanian pilot captured by isis last year. >> swap good or bad policy? >> you don't want to incentivize this. the more swaps they do the more incentive to grab western hostages and see more of these situation is in the future. there are some cases there are arguments made swaps could be made. we saw that withberglast year. but don't want to incentivize it >> is the media hurting these situation this is a say do whatever you want we won't deal with you. is the media creating a dynamic it will force the hand. >> what's going on the needmedia is an opportunity for isis to write the script. i don't think this is about a swap or hostage. isis saying it's an opportunity to show our world islamic world we represent traditional values.

that's why they're shifting over asking for a woman. the woman is the center of the home in traditional islamic world. 52 $200 million might not mean a lot to people in the islamic world. representing themselves as defender of women means something. isis is using the media to portray themselves not just a terror group but we're a group that represents traditional interests and why this story is playing out so long. this is their chance and using it. >> hopefully they're a world away from representing anything virtuous in other cultures. thank you very much. alison. as you know we're keeping a close eye on the life-threatening blizzard expected to hit the northeast. >> expected to be a real bear. snowfall for 48 hours. chad is in-house and letting you know how you can prepare ahead.

he northeast over the next 48 hours. at this hour 20 million people are under a blizzard warning. another 36 million under a winter weather advisory thousands of flights in and out of the northeast already canceled today and tomorrow. and winds making the gusts bad and affecting visibility and hurricane strength of 70 miles an hour. we have chad myers in our studio. what is the latest? >> this is a storm that will increase in intensity as it gets into the atlantic ocean. think how a hurricane can get much bigger as it gets into warm water. it will turn into a hurricane. it won't have a warm core or eye. it will gain a lot of strength and push back from the ocean effect snow as it spins right there. that is the area it pauses for a while, where we could get the 2

feet of snow. the bigger problem with the snow will be the wind. you may never see 2 feet. you could see 7 feet because of the wind. that wind is going to create a blizzard. blizzard means something, a real term not just it's snowing and wind blowing. there's specific criteria we have to get to to make this happen. 35 miles an hour winds, sustained or greater and they have to keep going. >> has to be falling from the sky onto the ground or blowing across in such gusts you can't see anything in quarter mile visibility and has to happen at least three hours and it will. this has to happen 24 hours, a big deal the next couple of days for the northeast. i don't plan getting out of here back to atlanta until at least thursday or friday how big it will be. i don't think new york city can break it. 26 27 inches, just not going to happen plus you're never going to see that much and even in

boston and providence going to be close. the point will be whether we break a record or not, this storm will be dangerous to pets and people. make sure the pets are taken care of because the windchill factor with winds like this may be 10-15 degrees below zero. pets can't take care of themselves you have to do it. >> such a great reminder. we will stay on top of it all morning so you can prepare. all right. five things. time at number one, as we've been telling you a potentially historic snowstorm set to slam the northeast. some areas in new england could see close to 3 feet. isis demanding the release of a female terrorist being held in a jordanian jail in exchange for one japanese hostage. a second japanese hostage apparently beheaded. the secret service investigating a drone found on the white house this morning. the president was not there at the time.

military too often. what do we know? >> that's true. in one town where you remember that terrible massacre happened just the beginning of january, boko haram managed to push the military out of their barracks and taken out the barracks there. that's been a buffer for the very important strategic town they also tried to overrun on sunday. but it is the capital, regional capital, been in boko haram's line of sight for a long time the military managed to keep them off. you can be sure they are better armed now given this latest conquest at this military barracks they will capture it again. john kerry met with bo both candidates on sunday in the election coming up on february the 14th. he said the u.s. wants to do

more in this fight against boko haram but that help will be contingent whether these elections are held in a free and democratic style and peaceful.

monguno. a situation that happened over the weekend, a "new york times" columnist and cnn political commentator revealed a terrify terrifying moment about his own son this weekend, charles blow said his son was held at gunpoint by a yale police officer saturday evening. he took to twitter. my son, a third year chem major at yale was just accosted at gunpoint by a yale policeman because he fit the description of a suspect. he was let go when they learned he fit the description of a criminal.

he's he's shaken but i'm fuming. we have former secret service agent agent. this is one of those situations that gets anger stirred among certain people. what do you make of it? you're friends. >> we've been e-mailing back and forth. this is a parents' worst nightmare and charles worst nightmare. we discussed it on air, that you have this discussion with your child how to interact with law enforcement. my thought was my gosh charles son is at yale a biology major, wants to be a doctor. that's the holy grail for many parents, especially parents of a black child. less than 7% of children are accepted at yale, you think he's there and safe and made it out and won't have these type of altercations. it happens. >> we're glad to say he's fine, which is important. >> explained to his son how to

deal with it. >> we want to get to that in a second. i have to read this statement from yale. >> when students saw the suspect they described him as a tall african-american college aged student wearing a black jacket and white had. this was the description that yale police used as they con terminged on trumpbull and attempted to track down the suspect. dan, have to ask you, you served with the nypd. shouldn't police be able to tell the difference between a college student and suspect. >> how would they be able to do that? that's the question. i don't blame charles for being angry. >> you would? >> i have a friend who is white and her car was stolen and they didn't get the car out of the system in time. she was pulled over at gunpoint in her own car by police officers and is still very upset

about it. we can't look at this as a right or wrong. we have to electriclook at it as what's left wrong here and look at the motives of the officer. if they were genuine and thought it was a suspect, i know it ends well but we have to know the details. >> we should point out they had incidents on campus recently robberies and theft, five students victims of robberies and thefts and one incident involved a handgun. >> dan, it can't get past the point we're trying to get at i want to bring up an abc "washington post" poll in december shows african-americans and whites have different perceptions about treatment from law enforcement. 21% of african-americans are confident the police treat black and whites equally compared to 63% of whites. you can't argue with the fact dan, a majority of

african-americans are feeling they're not being treated the same way. >> mikaela, perception is reality. if that's how the african-american community feels that has to be handled appropriate by the police department at the managerial level. you can't dismiss that and say it's not happening because of our statistics. perception is reality. it's not irrational for some people in minority areas that elevated crime rates the probability of interaction with police good or bad is very high and probably led to ill will. something has to be done about that whether training community policing perception reality, very real. >> i want your take on this. i always call him chief because he was my chief in l.a. commissioner brattin was here this morning and spoke on that very issue. let's play the sound and i want you to react to it. >> this is a shared responsibility. the police cannot be held accountable for all of what goes

on in communities minority or non-minority. commissioner bratton. there is a need for the police and public to obey the law and operate within the law. >> the idea it takes two. that both sides have to work together. we've been talking about the need for this for some time does it sit well with you what he said? >> it does in a sense. i think we have to realize at least in new york and all over the country but especially in new york there's been that problem of stopping and frisking of african-american and latino mens. it was a big problem and bratton was someone that embraced that policy. the fact i think he is backtracking from that policy realizing it has led to this problem in african-american and latino communities is a positive. it is about community policing. it is about teaching officers how to tede-escalate rather than

escalate. it has a lot to do about training. how come police officers can't distinguish between a suspect and a student? i think i can as a person living in the community can distinguish between a student and someone that shouldn't be there. you can't just stop every tall african-american wearing a black jacket. you just can't do that. i think that has a lot to do with training. >> more and more families having that important conversation with their son and daughters how to interact with police. sounds like this paid off then. this young man knew how to respond and behave. this did not escalate. he's gone home shaken but fine. >> you know as an african-american parent your kid is going to have this experience. you have to prepare them for it. >> it's unfortunate they will have it. >> absolutely. >> thank you. alison. >> the blizzard barrelling towards the northeast will leave more than snow and slush in its wake.
