did she end up unconscious in a bathtub and what is her current prognosis? good morning once again. i'm kate bolduan. thanks for joining us. >> i'm john berman. unwelcome for some of you surprising forecast this morning especially millions and millions of americans who have been fighting the record breaking snow and ice and winds. our meteorologist tells us a weather pattern is in place that could bring one storm system after another after another to the midwest and northeast for 30 more days. that's right. 30 more days of this. >> hundreds of flights have been canceled today. at least ten people lost their lives in this storm and today there are bitterly cold temperatures throughout the northeast. cold enough for boston to postpone the patriots super bowl parade. i couldn't imagine what could postpone a celebration like

that. it's keeping schools closed for yet another day there. we have reporters in boston and new york city covering the extreme cold for us. >> they can't get cars down the streets. they can't have a parade. they have nowhere to put the snow. that's the problem. a year's worth of snow in just the last two weeks. a new record for the snowiest seven-day period in boston history. school canceled there again. our alexandra field braving the deep snow. how's it going now? >> reporter: it does feel like braving it when you talk about these really bitter temperatures. john you talk about the cars getting down the road and difficulty of getting duck boats down the road for patriots parade but on top of that how about the people. thousands of people who would typically be out here to watch the patriots go by on those duck boats. can't sit on these benches. those are benches under that pile of snow. the city really is doing the very best that they can to try to clear this parade route and

clear some of the snow off the sidewalks so that people can safely line the route because the mayor has just announced that the plan to have this parade kickoff tomorrow at 11:00 is in fact still the plan. it does come with some precautions that are being taken. for instance the mayor says there will be no rally at city hall. the end of the parade route. that's typically the tradition in boston. it's too cold and messy and dangerous. we have to scrap that. get patriots through here. let fans applaud them cheer for them thank them and move on. a lot of people were hoping they would do it about a because patriots leave town during the off-season but at the last minute the mayor scrapped that plan saying too much snow was still in the forecast last night and temperatures simply too cold to safely accommodate people out here today. john kate? >> it's not going to melt because temperatures are in the teens. >> i wonder what will change in 24 hours for them to come through tomorrow. those benches will be snowed over. >> they'll have to green screen the parade to make it work so everyone can see it.

thank you so much. it may seem hard to look past today's brutal temperatures and it's hard and now word the light at the end of the tunnel is frigidly far away. chad myers is in columbus circle with a look at that. what is this about 30 more days? >> reporter: that's just a random number i made up. it could be 35 or 40. 30 days is only march 5th. so we're still talking a trough in the east a ridge in the west. the west remains warmer than normal. the east remains colder than normal and when that happens, every time a low pressure comes by there can be snow rather than rain. now there will be rain in atlanta. maybe rain in tallahassee and all that. the northeast prepare for storm after storm after storm. some may hit vermont. some may hit d.c. it's the pattern for the next four to five weeks. temperatures are cold. 17 right now here at central

park and colder than that in other places. it's cold for pets and people and for your car and cold for everybody. so the next couple days we see that continuing. low pressure goes by. first storm goes by with probably two to four-inch snowfall across the northeast. could be more into maine and also new brunswick and that. there are so many storms behind it if this stays cold like i expect it to one storm after another, warm in the west and cold in the east, there's the graphic there. when that happens, every time you get moisture over that cold air there can be snow and freezing rain just like we saw yesterday. cold air behind that storm today. i see no change in the forecast. >> damn you, punxsutawney phil. that's all i have to say. not you, chad. i would never put it on your head. chad thank you so much.

breaking news just into cnn. three soldiers patrolling near a jewish community center in nice in france were attacked with knives today. they were slightly wounded. we're still learning details of the attack. we'll bring them to you as they come in. i was there just a few weeks ago. they staffed up and put new military troops and new police to guard jewish institutions around that entire nation. they did that because there were threats they felt on those institutions. they also felt there were threats or military personnel and police. this news today that three soldiers have been stabbed or at least attacked with a knife, i think that sends a chilling sign in that country trying to get past these terror threats. >> on that point, john french police arrested eight more people who they believe have links to jihadist cells. this is just the latest in a series of arrests that the country has made since last month's deadly terror attacks in paris. meanwhile, france's interior minister is trying to push through a new anti-terrorism bill for the whole european union. it would require airlines to

new developments in the measles outbreak. two critical questions right now. is your child vaccinated and are the country's leaders being straight with you? two potential republican presidential candidates kentucky senator rand paul and new jersey governor chris

christie are stirring up controversy over the issue of vaccinations with their comments. >> they both say they are in favor of children being vaccinated but they also both said that parents should decide. >> what's more important as a parent than what you think as a public official. that's what we do. i also understand that parents need to have some measure of choice. that's the balance that the government has to decide. >> i heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. i'm not arguing vaccines are a bad idea. think that they're a good thing. i think the parent should have some input. >> let's get to facts behind the political rhetoric. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta is joining us along with an infectious disease specialist joining us in studio. it's important to get to the heart of this whole -- the question at the heart of this whole problem i would describe

it as. are vaccines safe especially when you're talking about measles? what do you say? >> i say they're safe. there's obviously when you look at these things you have to put things in a little bit of context any time you take something into your body. is there a potential risk of some sort of side effect. yes. there's no question. let me give you a little bit of context here. i think this is important the way i think about things. we have graphic to demonstrate this. when you talk about adverse reactions from vaccines and you have lots of data now. decades worth of data. serious allergic reaction. so when senator rand paul talks about he has seen many kids that have problems you get about 10 million kids that receive this shot a year. maybe 10 out of those 10 million may have some sort of adverse serious reaction. maybe he's met all of them. i don't know. compare that to something much more common. aspirin.

12 out of 10,000 can have a hemorrhage in their brain. that gives you context in terms of risk here which is important. >> you don't see anti-aspirin lobby out there. >> they're not shouting from the rooftop. it's not controversial. >> rand paul says he's heard of many cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. is there any studies that say that? is that based on any scientific evidence that you know about? >> no. in fact there are numerous studies that looked at whether there's an association between measles vaccines and other vaccines and autism and mental retardation. the institute of medicine compiled that research into a report which if you go to my twitter feed you can find a link. the data is overwhelming measles vaccines are safe and they are effective. frankly, rand paul should say measles is one of the most common causes of childhood blindness worldwide and as an

eye doctor he should advocate for measles vaccination for that reason. >> sanjay it's good that we're having the conversation because there seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding it. but where does -- i know that it comes from a couple different sources. where does all of the paranoia come from? >> it's a great question. in trying to paint any particular group of people with one brush is challenging. i think there's a lot of parents out there who are confused by the whole thing and think what they want to be good parents and that maybe withholding vaccines or delaying vaccines is the right answer it's not the right answer. let me be clear on that. i have three kids. i love my kids. i got them vaccinated and on schedule. i think that's one part of it. there are people who have a deep distrust of anything pharmaceutical anything in the pharmaceutical industry period is going to ingender distrust from them and there are people who have political gains. they are pandering for one reason or another. part of that is politics but this is a dangerous pandering going on because people's lives

and their well-being are at risk here. >> we'll talk about the politics of this in just a moment. doctor let's talk about the medicine for a moment here. what can we now do as parents? there's this outbreak out there. more measles than we've seen in a long long time. what would you advise parents or people like us who were vaccinated decades ago? do we need boosters? >> in 1990 the cdc started to recommend that we get a booster shot so you get one around a year of age and then a second shot at four to six years of age. now, for those of who were born before 1990 which all of us here at the table i think were it's helpful to get a booster shot if you haven't already had one. i've gotten one because i travel overseas where there is a lot of measles. that would be a good idea. >> is there anything else you would look out for, sanjay in the immediate? we're talking about this is spreading as we speak. parents are concerned. does this outbreak have to subside, go away by itself or is

it something that families can do to protect themselves? >> you see a pattern in these pockets of places that are unvaccinated and so obviously making sure your children are vaccinated is very important. i will say this is interesting. it's a really pretty unique situation overall in our country. this confluence of taking care of your other than children's health but also recognizing by doing that you have taking care of other children as well. i have three kids. when my youngest was below a year old and couldn't be vaccinated she would have been at risk if older children had not been vaccinated. i know there are people on the fence about this. it's the science that is clear. you have decades of data and it's safe and effective as your guest said. >> that's why it's a public health issue. that's why it's a public policy issue because it affects more than just your kids and your household which is why we'll talk about politics behind this in just a moment. thank you both for being with

us. appreciate it. >> it's important to continue talking about the science. the established science behind all of this. clearly misinformation is out there and abound. coming up we'll talk about just as john said politics of the measles outbreak. it's definitely become political now. president obama has shifted his stance on vaccinations and now hillary clinton, rand paul chris christie they are all weighing in. we'll discuss. major: here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium and phytosterols which may help lower cholesterol.

a debate over vaccinating children has turned political with the measles outbreak spreading. right now 102 cases of the virus

are confirmed in 14 states. president obama is urging parents to vaccinate their children. >> but candidate obama back in 2008 voiced some skepticism about vaccines. listen to what the then candidate said back in 2008. >> we have seen a skyrocketing autism rate. nobody knows exactly why. there are some people who are suspicious that it's connected to vaccines and triggers. this person included. the science right now is inconclusive but we have to research it. i understand that there are families that in some cases are concerned about the effect of vaccinations. the science is pretty indisputable. there's every reason to get vaccinated. there aren't reasons to not. >> so for a lot of folks it appears the president's view on this one has evolved. earlier we heard comments from two potential republican candidates kentucky senator

rand paul and new jersey governor chris christie both in their own way voicing support for parents right to choose whether or not to vaccinate their children. >> they both do say they had their children vaccinated and support the idea of children being vaccinated but say there are parents who should have rights not to have their children vaccinated also. want to bring in our political commentators. anna we'll start with you. the discussion has been on the republican side of the aisle for the last day or so. of course a history of debate over vaccines in republican primaries. remember rick perry and the hpv vaccine. what are politics of this now? what does rand paul get for talking about vaccines like this? >> i guess from the political aspect what he gets is media attention. we are talking about him on tv. and he also can appeal to some of the libertarian branch of the

republican primary voters who are big into personal liberty, freedoms and the right to choose what to do with their kids. i think it's important, john and you bring up hpv vaccine, to differentiate between what that is which is not a communicable disease, it's against cervical cancer and what we're talking about which is a communicable disease that was eeradicated and now has made a comeback and is a serious health threat to the united states. i'm sorry it's a political issue. i much rather hear sanjay gupta and dr. cohen talk about this than any other potential 2016er on either side of the issue. >> it's an important issue to hear from candidates if this an issue like this comes up because it's an issue of public policy. what happens in our schools. what happens if there's a massive outbreak where the government has to be involved to contain. it's important to understand a

potential presidential candidate's position on this. >> we overdramatize these issues. we this so huge with ebola that we couldn't get to the science. we couldn't locate where it was happening. we began to fear our neighbors and fear if we got an airplane somehow we would contract this virus. i agree with ana. there are some things that politicians should perhaps err on the side of caution. the science is clear on this. children issued be vaccinated. >> democrats have a problem with this as well donna. just to this point, this is not a major part of any presidential campaign. this is one of issues that bubbles up and can derail a campaign effectively if they don't answer these questions and

answer to voters in an appropriate way. >> what can derail a campaign is if you are being seen as pandering to one group or another. i think one important lesson for any candidate to learn is that you don't have to opine on every issue and every question that is posed to you. at some point it's better to let the folks that are experts on these particular -- >> in this case though -- hang on. in this case leaving it to the experts does take a side on this because the experts, the doctors, the scientific community, they all agree that parents should have their children vaccinated. so there are politicians on both sides of the aisle. will republican candidates have the courage to say to the libertarian base in the party that doctors say you should have

your children vaccinated and do they have courage to go and tell people who shop at whole foods and don't get kids vaccinated that you are doing a disservice to other kids in the schools? >> i would hope so. i understand how we have to make everything a petty partisan issue. on this this is a public health concern. i would hope that we would err on the side of caution and listen to doctors and scientists. on the other hand yes, we have to stand up and tell the facts and talk to constituents and talk to potential voters. hopefully we can tell them the truth and not just tell them you know what they want to hear. that's what we need our politicians to do. >> on the point that donna made earlier about overdramatizing, let's also be clear that none of these guys not rand paul or chris christie have said don't vaccinate your kids. they have left themselves a

little wiggle room but they are not advocating a no vaccine type of position. >> no. there are doctors who will tell you what rand paul said about hearing of people kids who end up with mental deficiencyiesyies as they grow up because of vaccines is -- >> i thought that was an irresponsible comment frankly. >> let's raise healthy children. i'm glad i was vaccinated 50 years ago. i continue to get my shots from time to time. >> guys thanks so much. thank you for being with us. a snag in the murder trial for former nfl star aaron hernandez. today we were expecting testimony from the girlfriend and mother of the man he's accused of killing but there's a huge problem apparently. we'll tell you what the hold up is and get straight to the trial. you pay for you data every month. so why does your carrier take back what you don't use? it's your data.

snow in just the past two weeks. the city's schools are closed for a second day. the patriots super bowl parade has been postponed until tomorrow hopefully if they get enough of the streets cleared. chicago reported a record 16 inches at o'hare international airport. the schools in chicago are open today. ten people lost their lives in this last storm. >> the winter storm is forcing even more flight cancellations as you can imagine. 500 and counting just today. the airlines are trying to clear the backlog of stranded flyers after more than 7,000 flights were canceled sunday and monday. most of the air traffic problem is centered in the northeast, specifically boston's logan airport and laguardia airport in new york. >> happening right now, the white house is said to be considering a new move sending lethal aid to ukraine to help defend against attacks from the pro-russian rebels. a decision being made even more urgent after a u.n. report shows that more civilians are being killed there as government

forces ukrainian forces battle pro-russian rebels and possibly russian soldiers as well. >> secretary of state john kerry is going to visit kiev later this week to meet ukraine's top leaders. the state department said he'll highlight u.s. support for ukraine and its people but of course the huge question as he heads over is will that support include anti-tank, anti-air and anti-mortar systems. let's get more from jim sciutto in washington. where do discussions stand on this shift in u.s. policy at this hour? >> clearly still a debate within the administration. ben rhodes on our air last night says that it's still the white house position that more arms would only make things worse but there are others in the state department and defense department who urge reconsidering. there are democrats on the hill. senator chris murphy who changed his mind on this as now we should send defensive weapons in there. i spoke to a senate source that have heard different views from within the white house.

no final decision made. clearly a debate still under way. what has changed is that on the ground ukrainian forces are losing ground. they don't have firepower to respond to the increased russian firepower. it's not just rebels. it's russian tanks and russian heavy weapons and russian troops that have tilted the tide and turned the tide against those ukraineian forces. >> there are military officials including a nato official who support giving lethal aid to ukraine but how do they respond when there is a suggestion that you can't out-arm the russians on the russian border. no amount ofwill give them the edge if russia is intent on sending their own forces in. >> that's the position that ben rhodes and others make and president has make. you give more arms and the concern is does that spur

vladimir putin to further military action there. does it make the situation worse? but the proponents aren't saying arm ukrainian military to beat the russians. no one says that's plausible. they say right the balance on the ground so you have the groundwork laid for negotiations because it's their view as russians are steam rolling through the east that there is no incentive to get to the negotiating table if you raise cost on the ground for russian forces and those pro-russian forces that they will be more likely to go to the negotiating table. they already raised the economic cost. sanctions have bitten with the fall in the price of oil but that's not changed president putin's calculus on the ground. unclear if more weapons will do that. >> raise the military cost. slow them down. make it harder could give them a better chance to negotiate on the ukrainian side. jim sciutto, thank you for being with us. a delay in the murder trial of former nfl star aaron hernandez. what is holding things up? that's coming up next.

the murder trial of former patriots tight end aaron hernandez is in recess right now. no testimony has been heard today. it appears it hit a snag. >> lawyers debated some kind of issue with a juror who left the courtroom and then in a different side bar hearing, with the judge the two sides took up a dispute over evidence. odin lloyd's girlfriend was scheduled to be back on stand. the trial puts the sisters on opposite ends of this case. shaneah is hernandez's fiance and hernandez is charged with murdering odin lloyd back in

2013. >> miguel marquez is covering the trial and sunny hostin in studio. what's going on there today, miguel? what's the hold up? >> reporter: as you were uttering those words that they are in recess they have just come back into session. the lawyers gathered. the victim's family has come back into the courtroom and they have decided to get the day going finally after taking yesterday off because of the snow up here. there seems to be two issues they were dealing with today. one was what appears to be a juror. a female in her 40s. 13 women and 5 men that are on that jury. six of them will be alternates that won't be decided until they go into deliberations. one of those jurors was questioned today. aaron hernandez at some point during this side bar out of the ear shot of the other jurors came up and was talking to both lawyers and the judge about this particular juror. then that juror went off to the side and there was discussion

about evidence. some other evidence the prosecution may want to bring into this case. hernandez's lawyers arguing he had the right to be at the side bar for that. judge saying no, not necessarily. he does for the juror but not for the evidentiary hearing so that's what they went into over the last hour is this evidence hearing. what it's about and what it might be? hopefully we'll find out shortly now that they are back in session. >> sunny hostin is with us as well. miguel lays it out. for the layman, it's confusing. sum it up. what is going on is the question. >> judges don't like this stuff to be going on when there is a jury empanelled. they don't want to waste the jury's time. this is probably unexpected. jurors sometimes do something over the weekend that maybe they didn't think they should do and so they go into the judge and say, hey, perhaps i was watching

the super bowl and everybody started talking about aaron hernandez. i know you advised me not to be part of that conversation. it just happened. am i okay? jurors do sometimes check in. the juror issue is not uncommon. what is a bit uncommon is this potential evidentiary issue. judges again before the jury is empanelled want to hash this out. it's like a well orchestrated dance once you get into a trial. prosecutors know what evidence they are putting in. defense also knows the evidence that's coming in. so this is a bit unusual and judges are loathe to get into this evidentiary stuff when you have 18 people waiting to hear the evidence. >> you thought they would have done that before. let me ask you about the unusual familial issue. one of the witnesses we expect to hear from soon is the girlfriend of odin lloyd. her sister is the fiance of aaron hernandez sitting on that side of the courtroom.

i know strange things happen in murder trials. this is pretty unusual. >> you know i have to tell you, for me and my experience john it's not that unusual. you would be surprised how these trials tear families apart. often times you have an agent that knocks on someone's door and says guess what? if you don't testify against your brother or against your cousin you're going to go down and people are on opposite sides of these kind of cases. unfortunate but it does happen. unusual that you have one sister sort of behind the defendant and then another sister behind them supporting the victim and the victim's family but, again, these type of trials tear families apart. >> we're still early on in terms of hearing testimony from the girlfriend. she should be or maybe is back on the stand as we're talking right now. she established -- sounds to me like a benign fact. the fact that they were in early stages of friendship.

odin lloyd and aaron hernandez, why is that important? >> it's very important. if you listen to the defense's opening statement, this case is going to turn i think, ort of supports the notion that perhaps they weren't such great friends. maybe they were enemies. maybe they had an issue. maybe he would have motive to kill. >> interesting context. i was wondering the same thing. we'll check back in with you when we hear more from this trial which seems to be getting back under way. american author harper lee is publishing a second novel after the classic release of "to kill a mockingbird."

it was set aside in favor of "mockingbird." >> what's remarkable is this other book this book coming out was written first and it involves flashbacks from scout if you are "mockingbird" fans. and then she based "to kill a mockingbird" on flashbacks but it's funny that it went first. >> it's amazing to have this chance to read this. i'm thrilled this is happening. >> it's coming. bobbi kristina brown fighting for life this morning. new information on the condition of whitney houston's only child and what might have sent her to the hospital in the first place.

doctors told the family not to read too much into that movement. doctors were reportedly trying to reduce the amount of sedatives to try to see how her brain was functioning but they decided ultimately to keep her in a coma for now. the 21-year-old, as you know has been hospitalized since saturday morning. and she is reportedly on a ventilator and being treated in intensive care. >> do we know anything more about how she ended up there, what got her to the bathtub in the first place? >> that's the big question. nobody really knows what caused bobbi kristina to become unresponsive at her home. we know that she was not breathing. we know she did not have a heartbeat when paramedics arrived at the house. we also know that nick gordon whom she reportedly married about a year ago found her in the bathtub and called 911. police say he was performing cpr until police and paramedics arrived. we have also learned from the police report that there was a third person in the home.

that person's name is maxwell lomez. he has a prior conviction for possession of marijuana and that just last month he was charged with several felonies including possession of xanax and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. all of that said it is important to note that police say they are treating this as a medical incident and that investigators have not found anything at this point to indicate what happened was related to either drugs or alcohol. >> thanks so much. so many questions remaining. everyone needs to be careful in making any judgments until her condition is well known. coming up next for us once a proud symbol of ukraine's future, now a symbol of just how bad the situation has gotten there. nick paton walsh has the remarkable exclusive story for you.

[people gasping] objection your honor. sustained. with the x1 dvr library you could take anywhere, xfinity is perfect for people on the go. the u.s. is considering sending weapons to help the ukrainian army in its fight against pro-russian rebels. secretary of state john kerry is headed to ukraine this week to meet again with president poroshenko poroshenko. the subject of arms is sure to come up. >> we don't think the answer to the crisis in ukraine is simply to inject more weapons and get

into that type of tatit for tat with russia. we think the answer is that apply pressure on russia and get them to the table. >> we have a remarkable exclusive look this morning for you inside that situation spiraling out of control. it's coming as fighting in eastern ukraine intensifies, rebels trying to take more ground and the united states now considering sending lethal aid to ukraine to try to help. >> this is a look at why some in washington say that help is now urgently needed. it's a before-and-after look at the destruction at donetsk once really proud new international airport. just months ago, it was fully functioning. look at that, look at the difference. now what we're about to show you is just utter devastation left in its place. nick paton walsh had an exclusive look a tour of this airport if it can even be called that anymore. we warn you, this report does

contain some graphic images. >> reporter: nowheres ha the fighting been fiercer in the worst war to hit europe since the balkans than here. the donetsk international airport. ukraine's army is still shelling here. despite being pushed out of this former stronghold two weeks ago by these russian-backed separatists, themselves heavily armed, this is their form of airport shuttle. we're moving now in an armored car towards the new terminal of the airport, territory which the separatists have taken but is still regularly under fire from the ukrainian military. we pull into the airport

long-term underground parking. occasionally shells are still landing here. the fight here killed hundreds as ukrainians used service tunnels. the men claimed these bodies were left in the ukrainian retreat. the last call for passengers on this walkway passed months ago. these pictures from three years ago showing how it used to sparkle. hard to imagine how just six months ago we were here flying out of donetsk, it was then a state-of-the-art international terminal. just look at the destruction and how this symbolizes how far eastern ukraine has fallen. mortars often fall here. so we move fast. they used to call this the new terminal opened two years ago for football fans coming to see the european championship.

but that newfound european optimism has evaporated. the war here is entering a new phase with the heaviest of weapons and the random shelling of civilians in which victory has become more important than its spoils. these men blame barack obama for this devastation. russia blames nato for fomenting this war. nato says nonsense and that many of these fighters are actually russian regular army. blame, hatred and charred remains everywhere. but ukraine's bright hopes of modern prosperity, the gate is closed. nick paton walsh, cnn, donetsk. >> the gate is closed. there's nothing left. those are amazing pictures to see. >> to see just a bit of evidence that there even was an airport that existed there at one point. otherwise, it's in absolute ruins. >> you wonder what happened to the people, all the people

living in that region. >> just a symbol of that whole region. thanks for joining us today. >> "legal view" with ashleigh banfield starts right now. . as bostonians dig themselves out of the snow and prepare to celebrate tomorrow their big super bowl champs there's one former new england patriot who's nowhere near the parade planning. he is sitting right there in court live in fall river, massachusetts. in a murder trial. the testimony in the aaron hernandez trial was scheduled to resume today after all those weather woes. but guess what? there has been yet another wrench thrown into the plans. and this morning's court session began with what appeared to be another issue with a juror. let's not forget. this m
