hello, everyone thanks very much for joining me in the nudes room. we begin in ukraine, where arresttillery is raining down. eight civilians were killed this weekend in fighting. ukrainian fighters says they lost 12 of their own soldiers and killed dozens of rebels. but there may be a glimmer of hope for new peace. the leaders of france russia and the ukraine have all agreed to meet in bellarus on sunday. is there any sense of optimism now that we know that these leaders are planning to meet in a few days? >> reporter: before this meeting was announced, certainly it appeared that a visit to moscow which angela merkel and the french president have said nothing apart from saying -- and

the day after goes well those four leaders might end up in the same city and you can't imagine they would really attend a meeting like that without knowing what they're going to sign but there's still plenty that could fall apart at this stage, particularly here, in this territory what they call their capital. while it appears sometimes these -- a lot of times they actually hit civilians home we saw one family whose mother had been injured and was in hospital. the children just escaped. another home in which one man, vladimir had been killed on his own in a kitchen by another stray shell too. many homes damaged here and a lot of anger amongst the people remaining in this city against the ukrainian military who they blame for the shelling and

frankingly, disbelief too that they could suffer in this way and many people haven't had a political opinion about what's happening here being taken off the hensbyfence hensby ---fence by this shelling. >> is there much hope even if these countries do come to the table and meet? >> well there are two issues here and they're both really involved territory. kiev has made it clear it dint want its territorial integrity changed. but at the same time, the separatists -- you hear another shell landing behind me there, the separatists themselves clearly want to take more territory, take hold of the donesque region. it's going to come down to whether or not kiev are willing to accept some kind of change

for the region and the issue is going to be whether the separatists themselves can accept a sort of watered down nature of their autonomy here. it's going to be hard to bridge that gap, we may end up with a pause of the fighting. even though the last one lasted a matter of days. >> payton walsh thank you very much. the u.s. says it supports peace talks set for bellareuss this week. but there is a big note of caution that goes with that report. can we start with secretary of state john kerry? he has been in europe and attending the security conference in germany. >> keep in mind that there are more diplomatic talks tomorrow in berlin and so wednesday's summit could be contingent on how those talks go. but here's how john kerry couched a question on how the you can crane allies are approaching the situation. >> this i can assure you e no

matter what france germany, our allies and partners no matter what we will stand together in support of ukraine in defense of a common understanding is that international borders must not, cannot be changed by force in europe or anywhere else. >> know there is some hope among part of this group that a deal could begin to come together but keep in mind as you were just talking about, his deals have been reached before, but then they have been violated by prorussian separatists so there's lingering doubts that these foreign talks and any agreement can have a lasting impact. and keep in mind that the russians are looking at concessions. >> john kerry is also talking much tougher, he is actually talking about arming ukraine, isn't he? >> mccain has been vocal about how he believes that russian president vladimir putin is not interested in -- western allies should provide ukraine with

arms, here he's explaining why he thinks that would work. >> if we help ukrainians increase the military cost to the russian forces that have invaded their country, how long can putin sustain a war that he tells his people is not happening. that's why we must provide defensive arms to ukraine. >> but there's a lot of debate going on between american and european leaders meeting in munich right now about whether that might be counter productive. so there's a lot of work to do during all of these talks this weekend, john kerry emphasizes that the group of allies is working together. but some of the commentary coming out of munich shows that there's no clear solution. meantime back here at home the northeast once again, this is a like a repeat for the third time now, bracing for another huge hit of esnowsnow wind and brutally cold temperatures this

sunday, a look at the mayor addressing the city right know. some 6 1/2 million people are now under winter storm warnings stretching from new york all the way up to new hampshire, boston in particular, could get another 12 to 18 inches of snow before this latest storm moves through. and all of this after boston set a record this winter for the snowiest seven-day period in history with over 40 inches and cnn's sarah gannon can't seem to get away from that are region she is there once again in that very deep snow. all right, so are people just beside themselves are areor are they saying hey, this is somewhat close to a typical winter for us bostonians? >> >> >> reporter: they're a little fed up and let me tell you why, there are these snow piles that are continuing to grow with storm after storm after storm

and residents here really fear that with the snow budgets tilg ss tightening that this snow might not be removed any time soon. the northeast is bracing for another round of snow. this comes after a round of back to back to back storms that have already unleashed record amounts of snow in the region. what's it been like for business. >> it's been really slow. there have been days that we have sat around with nothing to do and we just bleach the counters. >> reporter: city and state agencies across the northeast are close to bursting their budget in an effort to keep up. in boston mother nature has dumped more than 54 inches already on the ground. not a record breaking year but morning average and enough to strain resources. >> if we continue to get the snow we're going to get, we're going to shatter our budget for snow our budget for snow is

roughly system million. we're not only the top with the 18 million. >> city officials across the state are also saying as they're approaching their snow removal budget for the year. in worcester, records are broken. 77 inches have fallen and it's still february. and in new hampshire officials say they sought reserves are dwichbding. they've seen 48 inches of snow in the past two weeks. >> we have a $1.2 million budget. we spent somewhere between 800,000 to 900,000. >> reporter: and even more snow is still on the way, a frustrating prospect for residents who are having a hard time getting around. >> i don't know how much the city has lost from all this snow but if we don't get wrid of it and allow people to function normally and now me and my co-workers to come to work

normally and our customers to come in normally this could stem function. >> it's bad, but what is the forecast over the next few days? how are they preparing? >> so already this morning, fred, and into early this afternoon, four new inches of snow have fallen in boston we expect a heavier part of the storm to come through tonight and monday morning, through monday during the day monday. and then windchills tomorrow night that are just absolutely brutal into the negatives when you factor in the windchill, the temperature will be into the negatives. and this could go through tuesday and by tuesday they could have up to two new feet of snow on top of all of this in the boston area this is not just inconveniently but it's hard to get around here it's also a safety problem. we're walking these streets become very narrow when you have these snow piles creeping into the streets, hard to deprive, victim when you're going afternoon the corner we can

attest to this it's really hard to see who's coming. we see a lot of people walking in the streets. the walks are simply not passable. that's a hazard. and on top of that, city officials have -- asking people to dig out their fire hydrants on their streets, these are cars under their snow piles, completely buried the problem if fire trucks can't find cars if you can't find fire hydrants that's a safety problem. so they have launched a twitter campaign asking people for help. we're actually in the street this is exactly what we said not to do. >> all right, well you try to -- >> this is a problem here, fred. and it's very tight. >> and of course like you mentioned, just with fire hydrants it is tough for emergency workers to be able to get to any of those entrances to apartments if there is an emergency. so i'm sure that the community's help in any way possible is much appreciated.

all right, thanks so much. stay safe stay out of the street. all right, next are coalition air strikes bringing it closer to defeating isis or are matters being made worse, or back here in the u.s. bruce jennorer is vfd in a fatal cash. we'll have the police investigation ahead. financial noise financial noise financial noise [ female announcer ] we help make secure financial tomorrows a reality for over 19 million people.

but that seems highly unlikely. so the war will be long and will broaden to clue places like france belgium and other parts of europe. miller who has served as a middle east negotiator and republican and democratic administration is joining us now. so aaron good to see you, you made the case that jordan entering the fight in the manner that it has particularly over the last week may not be much of a game changer in the long run, why not in your view? >> well we have to get away from this notion, fredericka that somehow these e-- isis created a new baseline for brutality and savagery butin the burning of the jordanian pilot. isis is a response to fail or

failing states in syria and iraq. and the reality is air strikes alone is simply not going to answer the mail. the alternative, which some have called for is a much more muscular robust policy on the part of the united states to take assad, bashar assad out, create some new government structure and begin to piece together syria as a county tremendous under some governing authority, but that is so far beyond what the american public and this administration and probably the next are going to be prepared to do. but it's a question i think in the end --- >> i'm sorry, i'm wondering might that be the case if it were just the u.s. but now we're talking about more mideastern countries that are showing a lot more muscle in the game. and taking out assad that a mideastern neighbor might be willing to do but the u.s. wouldn't be whether to do and

other bigger rans other than just to take out isis. is that still potentially in the purview of this coalition that with more mideastern support, arab state support that perhaps taking out assad, being able to dismantle and destroy isis is actually possible. >> i think the saudis and jordanians really do want to get rid of assad, but both are per esuededed that the only power that is capable of actually making a difference is us. and that's again, one of the paradoxes and anomalyies here the sunnis are great war fighters a sunni coalition to address a sunni problem is very important, but it's hard to see given jordan's small air force, and even with the uae's capacity how in effect you're going to quote, unquote destroy isis simply from the air. look one basic point,

fredericka 14 years after 9/11 and if you asked any cia intelligence analyst, what is the most imminent threat to the security of the continental united states sailed they isis and the crisis in the arabian peninsula. >> isn't it the ideology that's the common thread here and just these names and organizations really may not matter? >> i think it is a huge problem, this kind of jihadi terror and it flows essentially from no governance in syria or bad governance in iraq or no governance in libya and again no governance in yemen. as long as you have ungoverned spaces as long as you have money and as long as you have sectarian differences, you're going to end up creating, it's a

witch's brew out of which isis are going to thrive and that's the real problem that we face. >> david miller, always frank, appreciate it. and we'll be back after this. oh yea, that's coming down let's get some rocks, man. health can change in a minute. so cvs health is changing healthcare. making it more accessible and affordable with walk-in medical care, no appointments needed and most insurance accepted. minuteclinic. another innovation from cvs health. because health is everything. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker? i look around this room and i see nothing but untapped potential. you have potential.

you have...oh boy. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

all right, there's no indication that paparazzi played

a role in that deadly crash involving bruce jenner. investigators say jenner's suv rear ened a lexus, sending it into oncoming traffic where it was hit by a hummer. the driver of the lexus was killed. we're joined now by stephany elam. she's at the sheriff's station in california. so stephany the paparazzi was not the cause? initially there was some rumblings that bruce jenner was being chased by paparazzi. >> reporter: there was an understand zenl between four cars that first car that that white lexus had an incident with. the suv that jenner was driving, rear ended that lexus, which then forced the car into oncoming traffic and was hit by that hummer. that's what happened there, the woman that died in that lexus, we can tell you that she's 69 years old, but they're still not

releasing her name until they notify the next of kin. at this point they are investigating this traffic accident as a fatality and nothing more than that. they're continuing to look at that they're continuing their investigation. but this was a major accident that shut down the pacific coast highway, which you may have heard about, it's one of the most beautiful drives in the country, it runs along the pacific ocean and it rides along the coast of california it's very beautiful, but it is curvy, it is dangerous, but it's two lanes on each side for most of it. and it is a place where you have to keep your eyes on the road or things can change quickly. still ahead on the cnn news room new information that the american hostage that isis claims has been killed. what people in kayla mueller's hometown are saying next. arted. visit legalzoom today for the legal help you need to start and run your business. legalzoom. legal help is here.

all right, hello, again, everyone. we're learning more about the american hostage who is the terror group isis claims to have kimmed. we're learning more about who kayla mueller is. it's been a year and a half since she was kidnapped by isis militants. her parents are pleading with isis to contact them. despite -- u.s. and jordan officials say there is still no evidence that she is dead. kenlaw is in prescott arizona with more on what kayla mueller's hometown is saying. >> reporter: the signs of anguish remain quiet but palpable in prescott arizona, an idyllic town oceans way r away from the sound of ---to those who know her in prescott even as a teenager she was a defender of social justice, especially for those who cannot

fight. northern arizona professor carol thompson taught advised and then befriended mueller. >> she profoundly understood that peace will not come without justice. and it's useful to have peace without justice. >> reporter: professor thompson teaches here in arizona, we spoke by telephone because she's on sabbatical in zimbabwe helping farmers. she thought she might follower in mueller's footsteps and work in africa. but it's the 4 million refugees that captured her heart. she posted in video supporting refugees in 2011. >> i am in solidarity with the syrian people. i reject the brutality and killing that the syrian authorities are committing against the syrian people. >> reporter: by the following here she would make her first trip to the syrian-turkish border. the professor said they spoke

often business justice versus person risk. >> kayla went beyond me, her professor to join in the suffering and she knew very profoundly the risks of that and that was her choice. >> a choice friends say her parents supported. this weekend, they remain surrounded by spiritual counsel, family and friends, as they have since her capture, awaiting the truth about their daughter we have spoken with friends who are in touch with the family right now, they say the worst part of all this fredericka is simply not knowing what the truth is. president barack obama is getting criticism for comments that he made during a national prayer breakfast on thursday. some conservative christians are

furious after the president invoked christianity when explaining how some used religion to justify doing evil things. >> human kind has been grappling about these things since human history. unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. in our home country, slavery and jim crowe all too often was justified in the name of christ. >> let's bring in the rev rend susan johnson cook and dr. judy jasser good to see both of you

and dr. j asser is also the author of "a battle for the soul of islam". what did the president mean in your view? >> me meant exactly what he said that there have been those in our own history that have used religion to the terrible evil things as a descend dent of those who are enslaved slavery and jim crowe were not easy to live with and as a desend dent you're talking about generations that follow that are still feeling the terrorism that happened on our own shores. we can't deny history, yes we have to look forward to what is happening now. >> what was the interpretation particularly in the muslim-american community? >> well i think it depends on which part of the community, we're a diverse ideological community. i will tell you among reformers, today we need the help of those christian community leaders who are leading a country that is

post liberty and freedom that fought against thee o'clock si to help lift us up on the horse of liberty. the terrorists are being produced by countries like saudi arabia pakistan, all the radical islamist governments that infuse these ideas, so instead of telling the muslims that they need to reform they're giving them a pass and it makes a reformers very difficult to have a seat at the table. >> the president's words and actions are being scrutinized in a new different ways from that breakfast. the jew -- these comments about the struggle within the islamic community. can he please everyone? >> no he cannot please everyone. i think one of the things that as ambassador for three years in the obama administration international religious freedom was my portfolio. there are problems throughout the world.

and most of them stem from not just nonmuslim countries as we talked about earlier in the show. we don't know the extent because one of the things with extremism, as you said to your point, it's an ideology. so we don't know all the places where it's developing, some are in nongoverned places and in governs places so we have places here in u.s. where people are being recruited for jihad echl. some do it in the name of religion but to kill others and to hurt others and to terrorize others. >> doctor is this a case that while ill may be bold to try too appeal to everyone, to tryuse christianity to care-just to risky should he have not gone there or sit necessary in order to provoke thought and discussions like this.

>> well i think it's too dismissive it's dismissing muslims almost as not relevant and telling them to get off their high horse when it's -- to hear secretary kerry today not mention islam and say violent streamism, ism extremism, the political ideologies of all theo cats that create this and then you don't enable the very reform movement that need to be enabled by president obama and secretary kerry and instead it becomes sort of dismiss sif, while we had our problems don't worry, it really infant lizs muslims rather than telling us you're adults let's reform and gather those who want liberty? >> doctor where do we come together? i mean there's extremism in every faith and if he says nothing, then he would have been criticized, but because he said something which is historically

accurate he's also criticized so where do you suggest that we come to the table together? >> ambassador you're 100% correct that we have to meet halfway. we also need to engage and realize that we have a problem and name it because it's an ideology that's going to be a long war and can't engage in a long cold war against radical islam and political islam unless we own up to where we meet halfway. >> thanks to both of you, appreciate it. coming up what did brian williams say that has gotten him into so much trouble? well you'll see how his story about a trip to iraq has changed throughout the years.

you won't see brian williams for a while. he's voluntarily stepping aside. many a memo to staff williams writes this quote, it has become painfully apparent to me that i am presently too much a part of the news due to my actions, end quote. brian stelter

has more. >> the first report was broadcast just a week or so after the beginning of the iraq war. in a segment for nbc's "dateline," brian williams recounts coming under fire. >> brian williams is back in kuwait city after a close call in the skies over iraq. >> reporter: he said he was traveling with four army helicopters, large ones chinooks, they can carry equipment to build bridges in iraq so motorized vehicles could cross a river. >> the helicopter ahead of us was almost blown out of the sky. that hole was made by a rocket propelled grenade. >> a sand storm grounded all of them for three days and two nights. the army sent soldiers to guard the soldiers as well as williams and his team. in those reports, he made no

mention of his helicopter taking fire. he spotted four iraqis holding what looked like an rpg during their nights in the desert. >> what we didn't know is that we were the northern most americans in iraq. >> our good friend brian williams. >> ten years later to the day, march 26 2013. brian williams told that story to david letterman, except this time saying he was on one of two army choppers that were hit both by rpgs and small arms fire. >> two of our four helicopters were hit, including the one that was in. >> reporter: the question is what exactly happened in those ten years to make williams change his story. as with all war stories, it's complicated and williams' version slowly evolved. a few months after the helicopter incident nbc news published this book "operation

iraqi freedom" in it his account is vague. the story isn't resurface until two years later when williams returned to iraq. in a blog post, williams celebrated the life of wayne downing, who was an nbc news military analyst who was in that helicopter with williams. some men on the ground fired an rpg through the tail rotor of the chopper flying in front of ours. there was small arms fire. a chopper pilot took a bullet through the ear lobe. all four choppers dropped their heavy loads and landed quickly. san obituary left the impression that the helicopters were forced down by air fire. >> when the chinook helicopters at the start of the war were fired on and forced down for a stretch of there days.

>> reporter: this time all four choppers took fire. he wrote all four of our low flying chinooks took fire u we were forced down and stayed down. then in 2013, to mark the tenth anniversary of the start of the iraq williams went on the letterman show. and he also talked to alec baldwin for a radio broadcast. now he's telling the story of bullets fired into hi helicopter. >> i've done some ridiculously stupid things like being in a helicopter i had no business being in in iraq with arms fire coming into the airframe. >> reporter: and this just about ten days ago, when williams was at new york rangers hockey game and appeared with an army ranger the soldier had ehelped protect williams and his team. now a big change in the story. this is how he told it on next nightly news. >> the story actually started

with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. >> reporter: the previous version had evolved to all four choppers being fired upon. this latest one added the rpg. some soldiers who were also there began speaking out saying on face book they had no memory of williams being on the one chopper that did take a rocket propelled grenade and were all the choppers told to land because they had been fired upon or was it because of that sandstorm? truth is a tricky thing in war we do know that nbc investigators have contacted at least two of the soldiers that were on this mission, they are basically trying to get to the bottom of it trying to darrell what the facts are or are not before nbc makes any decision about when or whether to have brian williams come back to his chair. and in the next hour we will be hearing from two pilots who were with williams in iraq when

that helicopter was hit. and we'll be right back after this. the traffic jam. scourge of 20th century city life. raiser of blood pressure. disrupter of supply chains. stealer of bedtime stories. polluter. frustrater. time thief. [cars honking] and one day soon we'll see the last one ever. cisco is building the internet of everything for connected cities today, that will confine the traffic jam to yesterday. cisco...

head basketball coach has died. his ncaa final four appearances,

two championships and 32-career year you can tell by all the memories and the statements on twitter. kobe bryant who considered playing for smith tweeted this. rest in peace to one of the greatest teachers of over beautiful game of basketball has ever seen dean smith, and michael jordan who won a college hooms championship in 19812 sent us this statement saying other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my live than coach smith. he was more than a coach, he was my mentor my teacher, my second father. that's pretty huge. rachel, you know this clearly is someone remembered for using sport to help mentor and build character, is it the case that players who learned from him feel like he was more than a coach to them. >> he was one of the giants of the sport, you can't just get

past that he literally just changed the way the game is played. he's just an enormous part of basketball basketball has this shot clock, which is because of dean smith. he didn't give the other team a fighting chance so his innovation led them to put a block above the basket. when you see a player makes the basket. you see him point to the one who got the ball. getting guys to physically recognize team work in that carolina way that he preached so much. that's probably his greatest gift to those he touched, he taught team work loyal ity, dedication at every turn both on and off the court. 90% of the letterman that wchbt through his program graduated. he was more proud of that than

any championship or record that he held. >> he was ahead of the time in so many ways. >> he recruited charlie stout, the first black basketball player in carolina. he went in and integrated a restaurant in chapel hill sitting with an african-american divinity student sand a minutester andminute sterminute -- minister and forcing the restaurant and many businesses to change. he eparticipated in marches, he was an active voice. he had no qualms about doing the right thing instead of doing the popular thing. he was very heavily involved in a church that he helped grow from a tiny church to a 600 member 700 member community, and he ensured that that church was a later, not just in integration, but they inducted a gay minister they got kicked out of the congress for that and he said no problem and they just

went ahead and made the choice bigger he was outspoken on equal rights whether it was for gay, straight black, white, he was a strong voice against the death penalty, he was a strong voice against nuclear weapons. he had no problem making his voice heard, and sometimes it would hurt him in recruiting and sometimes it would hurt him in the community, but he had no problem with that. >> coach dean smith, dead at the age of 83.
