additional 20 inches. it ties a record it's a real problem for kids and also parents, many of them may not have child care options. >> the state's governor declaring a state of emergency that roads are so snow covered, people can barely leave their homes. all rail service is shut down. there are grows concerns that roofs may collapse under the weight of all the heavy snow. even the giant melters that they have installed up there that you'll see in a second cannot keep up with all of the white stuff so we begin our team coverage of the winter that will not quit with rosa flores live in boston. how is it looking, rosa? >> alisyn good morning, you know the snow has really turned into the unwanted visitor that has extended its stay. it has been a weeks, not inches but feet of snow here in boston. take a look around me you see the mounds of snow everywhere. the sidewalks, very narrow if you look right next to me parallel is the street the

streets become very narrow under these conditions. and whether you stay or out, it can be very treacherous. >> this morning, history is blanketing boston. millions wake up to over six feet of snow falling in the city since mid january. making the past 30 days the snowiest month in history. >> no city administration has ever dealt with this much snow in a very short period of time. >> the region bearing the brunt of the third snowstorm in just three weeks, sending them into a statewide emergency and closing schools again. >> if i've learned one thing over the course of the past two weeks, it's -- mother nature makes the rules. >> so much snow in fact the massachusetts governor says you could fill up the patriots' home stadium 90 times over with the snow they've already removed.

on the road vehicles bury edied, as transportation is at a near standstill. this commuter train struck after snow piles on the tracks. >> they were sending a rescue train to try to push it back into the quincy station, and that got stuck, also. >> the massive snowfall weighing down roofs, with collapses inevitable. >> he started yelling, get off, get off. >> south of boston construction workers say they had mere seconds to get out before the flattened building caved in behind them. >> the weight of the snow on the buildings is getting critical. >> the city working around the clock, plows trying to transfer snow to snow farms, vacant parking lots that house massive melting machines. >> rail service stopped yesterday with an emergency

declaration comes in federal and state resources, which are critical for municipalities. those resources take care of all of these roads. but chris, let me tell you something, these folks are still waking up and shoveling their way out. because you got to do this folks, here in boston if you don't, if you don't clear your sidewalks, you could be cited, more than 1500 people have been cited in the past week. >> all right. rosa like that you had the overhand grip on the shovel take from the top and bend the knees, bend the knees. thank you for the reporting. shoveling is the least of the problem, as we know with the snow comes the ice and the morning commute people have get to work. there was a 15-vehicle pile-up just outside new york city the cause? freezing rain most likely. is even worse weather on the way? meteorologist chad myers has the forecast. it's hard to understand the concept of worse when we've had

this much snow. but i know that comes down to mixed conditions. what do we see? >> and it's also piling on. we've had so much snow and then you get six more inches where do you put it. boston right now, if you stop snowing for the rest of the season you are now the ninth snowiest winter ever. i have bad news -- the snow isn't stopping. the cold air isn't stopping. today it's sunny but another storm comes in later in the day tomorrow it could be another coastal storm as the low runs up the east coast. this isn't a major snow machine, but four to six on the european model and six to eight on the american model. there could be more on the cape. it depends on where the low tracks, not much for new york city a couple of inches as best. today, new york and boston the best day of the week. and the temperatures by the weekend get ugly 2 degrees, not a wind chill, 2 in new york city. sunday in boston -- 1. try to stay warm.

alisyn? >> yikes, chad thanks so much. so how is boston handling all of this? joining us on phone is peter judge, with the mats mass emergency management agency. peter, wow. >> wow is right, alisyn. >> i mean how much do you have accumulated on the ground right now, do you know? >> there are areas that outside of boston that have well over seven feet of accumulated snow right now and as we just heard, there's plenty more in the pipeline coming our way. >> your roadways are blocked, one of the big problems. >> well fortunately the major highways are in pretty good shape. the state roads, where you can literally push the snow off the road to the side. the issues are the residential streets, particularly in the urban areas. where as we've seen there's nowhere for the snow to go. that's our major attack if you will as we do our outreach to other states for additional equipment. literally, just to get the snow off the streets. >> and we understand that you're

moving thousands of truckloads snoef every night, where are you moving it to? >> well as you've heard, snow farms, which is just sort of a fancy name for vacant lots ends of airports things like that yesterday in fact we sort of made another move a number of communities about ten or so have received waivers from the environmental protection agency. and for emergency purposes they're allowed now to dump some of the snow into the harbor into the ocean, into major rivers. >> and the problem with that i mean that would seem to make sense, water on water. why is that an environmental problem? >> well unfortunately, we've been treating the road so including the snow, you have chemical chemicals, you have the salt. there's other things in that. so there's limits you can do and for how long. >> we understand the great state of new york has sent a jet engine machine to help you up there. what can that do?

>> well that's basically would help with our rail transport. we've had all sorts of problems with freezing up on the third rail just major problems with anything on tracks. so this apparently not only blows the snow away. but i guess heats it up enough that it has a longer-lasting effect and i know city of new york had helped us out over the past weekend. and i think we're going to continue to need the help. >> are you getting reports of roofs collapsing? >> yes, we had a handful yesterday. smaller industrial-type of storage units. those types of things. but it's something that we continue to push out to people the fact that it's important to get as much weight off that roof. particularry with the incoming snow. we've been fortunate that the snow in all three storms has been more on the light and fluffy side, instead of the wet stuff. if the next storm comes in with the wet stuff. we'll see a rash of roof collapses, a couple of years ago we had 200 or 300 within a week.

>> when are kids going to get back to school? >> it's going to be a while. the governor is talking about waivers and how to get around this. we may lose an april vacation. the kids might go to school on saturday. >> peter judge, best of luck this week as you look down the barrel of another storm. thanks so much for joining us on "new day"."day." new information about a different crisis. death and destruction in eastern ukraine. now is it at a crisis point there is no end in sight. there's word about who may or may not be attending the four-nation peace talks in minsk. let's get to nick walsh live in eastern ukraine. what do we know? >> chris, european diplomat with knowledge of the talks, says at this early stage, things could still change it looks like key rebel leaders, namely the donetsk rebel leaders do not

look like they're going to minsk. they were hopefully going to be involved in one meeting between the rebels and ukrainians and the osc monitors. and many hoped they would be on the sidelines of the big normandy format between the french germans, russians and ukrainians. if they're not there, it would lessen how serious they're taking the talks. russia is stressing they want to have a diplomatic solution here. but we've just been near a town on the separatist side, intense shelling targeting that city. and a sense that the encirclement that the separatists claim is happening is imminent or has been completed and there are certainly a lot of people concerned now about what happened to the ukrainian troops still inside the town. >> nick paton walsh, thanks for the update.

after meeting with german's chancellor is the president closer or farther away from sending arms to ukraine. what's the answer ailsen? >> the risks of arming ukraine are known. the benefits are less clear. so the president says he's still in the process of making the decision. consulting with allies. he says we must keep tieing for diplomacy, and that arms would be an option only if that fails. german chancellor angela merkel even though she disagrees with the idea in a show of unity says let's give the russians one more chance at diplomacy, if that doesn't work we have to look for other options. that's a big difference from what she said a few days ago in strong opposition to arming ukraine. even if she still feels that way. both sides saying no matter what happens, the unity between u.s. and germany will remain strong. and on the other hand you have republican lawmakers, senator lindsay graham calling the president's stance continued weakness in the face of

aggression. you have some within the administration in the state department and the pentagon well as well as the ukraines themselves believes now is the time to arm them because ukrainians are being killed and it would give them a stronger voice at the diplomatic table. michaela? >> we appreciate the update. we have breaking news now major development for you overnight in the case of murdered university of virginia student hannah graham. reports that prosecutors and police are going to announce charges in the case this morning. we turn to jeanne casarez for more. >> an impromptu press conference with the county police and the county prosecutor they are the lead agency for hannah graham so the question is -- are there now murder charges? for jesse matthew. the man at the center of hannah graham murder case has been under the microscope of police for the pest several months 32-year-old jesse matthew

crossed authorities' radar in september when the university of virginia student went missing. just before dawn on september 13th when graham was spotted on surveillance cameras at a mall near campus. matthew seen in the footage. the surveillance video and other accounts led authorities to identify matthew as the suspect in her disappearance. on september 24th he was taken into custody on charges of abduction with the intent to defile after police picked him newspaper againgalveston, texas and days later, he had remains were found. now sources are telling cnn affiliates wvir and wtvr that matthews' charges have been upgraded to first-degree murder. meanwhile, authorities investigating if he could be connected to a string of unsolved killings and

disappearances in the area. he is also charged with sexually assaulting a woman in virginia in 2005. he has pleaded not guilty in that case. scheduled for trial in march. now cnn cannot confirm these reports. defendant jesse matthew has a very noted defense lawyer in the area james campbells, who use to be the elected district attorney there in the area. and chris, you know a lot of people are going to say this is a simple case. so simple. not so simple because hannah graham was found with only her remainsth and you know chris, how difficult that is for a cause of death. when you just have skeletal remains the one thing a jury needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that jesse matthew murdered hannah graham so this could be a fight for prosecutors. >> and first-degree will impose on the prosecution the demands that they show he had a plan there was thinking and preparation of this. very high bar, you're right, jean thank you for the reporting, we'll stay on it.

in syria, new information, president bashar al assad is breaking his silence. telling the bbc he will not talk to u.s. officials about the air strikes in his country against isis and will not join the international coalition against the terror group. asaid says other countries are giving him information about what the coalition is doing. >> that's through third party, more than one party. iraq and other countries, sometimes they convey message, general message, but there's nothing tactical. >> assad also denies that his forces dropped barrel bombs in rebel strongholds that killed thousands of civilians. today president obama could ask congress to formally authorize military force against isis. this proposal calls for a three-year mission. it restricts u.s. combat troops on the ground that issue could stir up a big debate. democrats are worried about another ground war in the middle

east. republicans meanwhile, don't want to rule out boots on the ground if they're needed. breaking overnight, a u.s. airways flight from philadelphia forced to make an emergency landing in houston when the plane touched down sparks flew as the nose scraped the runway. the 57 people on board were evacuated to a parking lot at bush intercontinental airport. meanwhile, an american airlines flight from dallas forced to land in tulsa after the pilot smelled something strange in the cockpit. the plane was taken out of service, it is not clear what caused the odor. >> what kind of odor? >> i don't know what kind of odor but i don't like that combination of factors. >> i don't, either. good move. >> are more things happening with planes? >> it just feels like it i think. >> malodorous things in january, is that what's bothering you? >> in relation to men. >> that cuts deep. >> there's silence from the

crew. >> where's the febreeze. diplomacy taking center stage in the ukraine crisis what if diplomatic efforts fail? our experts explain, next. usually it's us who tell you what's in politicians' emails. right? jeb bush said not this time. he's flooding the zone with thousands of emails from his time as governor of florida. what's in them and what's behind the move? answers ahead. i'm looking forward to. for some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal. start investing with as little as fifty dollars.

welcome back. i hope your "new day" is going well so far. here's news we all need to know. ukraine may seem far away. but u.s. and european leaders worry about a domino effect. russia trying to reabsorb former soviet state. will diplomacy work and if not, shoulded u.s. arm ukraine? if they don't and are waiting, how long can ukraine's military hold out? we'll get perspective on this from general george julwen the former supreme allied commander of nato. he joins us now. and general to remind people you know what situations like this are about from your time in bosnia. putin and milosevic hasn't proven himself to be that yet. but the dynamic similar so your perspective very needed. the consideration here time and sbejss diplomacy preferred. assuming you have the time for it and good faith intentions do you believe that putin wants to

negotiate, wants a diplomatic solution here? >> i'm not sure. i think what we have to do is put the total pressure on him. diplomatic, political, military and economic. and hopefully the talks with the germans and the french will bear results today. but i think what we need to do is demonstrate political will as well as military presence. and i think nato is ratcheting up to do that. i think that will have an impact on putin. >> you make a very trgs point. which is it's not just what you do. it's how you do it. if you say you're going to arm them you have to arm them the right way. you know we're hearing from the white house, we're going to give them weapons, but weapons to depend themselves but not to allow them to beat russia militarily. what does that even mean? that is that is not in my opinion, a good strategy. i think what we need to be able

to do is not only allow them to defend themselves but take back the territory that they lost. now remember the russians have brought in not just troops but they have brought in sophisticated weapons. air defense weapons, very good in terms of tanks and armored vehicles. and you have to weigh all that when you say, what could the alliance do? what could the united states do? first of all, chris, i think deterrence and containment is what we need to look at not just a war-fighting strategy but to ratchet up the deterrent effect. we've done that before with russia when they were the soviet union, and i think they will respond to that pressure. >> for some context for people we were in ukraine this summer, even ukraine had just started. it was called a police action would you hear shelling a lot of open areas were getting hit. but now the place lookses just like areas that you were under

command of. areas have been completely destroyed, thousands of people are dying. the point about the deterrent effect. nato are putting their outposts out, numbers are getting thrown around. what worked in bosnia in terms of sending a message, that if this line is crossed bad things will come. what is the ingredients to success? >> in bosnia with milosevic, it was clear rules of engagement. political will. at that time we had 16 democratic nations that provided the political will for in my case for the military to move into that country and stop the killing that was going on. and that, we and we went in there with clear understanding that there was not just hostile act, but hostile intent. that we could take action. and i think that had a very positive effect. but chris, let me add, we were able to get the russians to join us. in that in that deterrent in

that fight in bosnia and they, they were very useful in bringing about the successful conclusion of that fight. >> they're not going to they this time because this time they are the aggressor. in terms of how you see this shaping up they keep relying on this minsk agreement, that's exactly the agreement that putin is obviously paying no attention to. what do you think going forward are the steps? as diplomacy continues, do you have the time to allow ukraine to be unarmed, the way they are right now, and still hold the territory? >> no. i believe that we need to make some some steps here but you have to be careful. because you have to pull the string all the way out. in we do provide arms and that doesn't work then what? and i think we need to have a strategy here that's a much more broader strategy than just looking at arming ukraine. i think we need to have a much

broader comprehensive strategy. but those are the sorts of things that nato has been able to do in the past and i think depending on what comes out of this meeting, that the next steps are going to be very important. and arming the ukraine is one of them. but it has to be part of a total strategy. diplomatic economic political as well as military. >> and certainly there is a lot of intelligence on the side of sanctions and time is what's been hurting putin the most. if you escalate the situation in ukraine, you feed his narrative that he is being put upon by the west. so it is complicated. but it's important to note general, the way you did it and the way the coalition of 16-plus did it in bossiabosnia how many soldiers did you lose in 15 years? >> we have not one soldier to hostile fire. we lost one to a grenade in a minefield. but none to hostile fire. that's a credit to the

comprehensive strategy that we had. >> we look forward to relying on you in the future. boston strong of a different sort. that city digging out after a third winter storm. just how much can one town take? well more is on the way, along with bone-chilling cold what you need to know next. and brian williams in his own words, did the newsman's attempt to clarify his false iraq war story, make things worse? when salesman alan ames books his room at laquinta.com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can check in and power up before his big meeting. and when alan gets all powered up, ya know what happens? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! he's a selling machine! put it there. and there, and there, and there. la quinta inns and suites is ready for you, so you'll be ready for business. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com! la quinta!

we'll talk to chad myers coming up a little bit to tell you more about the deep freeze. a urine diplomat haas says top pro russian rebel leaders will not be represented at the ukraine peace talks in minsk. leaders of germany, france russia and ukraine scheduled to meet tomorrow and president obama waiting to find out what comes out of that before deciding whether or not to send arms to ukraine. u.s. prepare court has ruled, validating gay marriage for couples and alabama's chief justice is in defiance of a federal court order. several other judges have green-lighted the ruling allowing several districts to tie the knot. opening statements begin in the murder trial of eddie ray rauth, the marine accused of killing american sniper chris kyle.

rauth served in iraq he was treated for ptsd his lawyers are expected to pursue an insanity defense. we talk more about chris kyle and the new insights that came if our cnn special blockbuster, the story of american sniper. dramatic video out of australia, two men trying to evade police jump out of a stolen blue car you see there, they then run across a busy highway, as you're about to see, one suspect with his gun drawn, suddenly gets slammed by a car. i think you'll see that in a second. police chasing them for 100 miles, there you go. the duo will face charges for attempted murder and carjacking. at least three cars. driver did what he had to do. chad myers, we understand that all of your communications equipment are now working, obviously the effects of the cold on your head but now what can you tell us? >> got a little strep throat, a little cold i'm not sure what's

going on in this head. 26 in new york 33 d.c. today is a mild day, but a major cooldown coming. boston you should be 38, those are the highs for the day. then you should be around 28 for the morning lows and you're going to be 2, this is a frigid arc outbreak we call them all the time. polar plunge frigid temperatures diving all the way down to florida, georgia, a secondary front comes by and reinforces the cold air and i don't see any break in this forecast for many many days. for boston sunday you should be 38 you'll be 12. new york you should be 41 you'll be 12. morning lows should be around 30 degrees in both cities there you go almost 30 degrees colder than normal. for international falls that may seem like a normal day. but for new yorkers in boston have to work to walk to work or walk to get groceries, that's a cold morning. >> true true. >> context is different, it sounds like what my wife says

you should be 45 but you're 12. >> bada-bing. >> sick chad not quite as funny. jeb bush is making some big moves, he's opening the book on thousands of emails from his two terms as florida governor. rarely done. can this be anything but a step toward the presidency? our political experts clue us in. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?"

ever wondered what kind of emails jeb bush ever wondered what kind of emails jeb bush wrote when he was governor? you're about to find out, here to weigh in sirius xm host margaret hoover and cnn analyst and editor of the "daily beast" john avlon. jeb bush just released this bunch of emails while he was governor. the ones to constituents are entertaining. jeb bush loved an emoticon.

a constituent wrote to him. politicians make me sick. you make me sick. and he wrote i'm truly sorry you feel that way, have a nice day, smiley face. >> the point is to get everything out so nothing can comprise surprise anybody later on. this is like the friday dump this is the equivalent of that in a two-year presidential cycle. if something kols out early, somebody can say, those were the emails from two years agoth didn't you read all of them? >> what if it's not something in this dump. is this move something that winds you up enhancing the negative effect? >> the point of the emails is like the emoticon you're killing them with kindness there's nothing left to hide. this is unprecedented. this kind of radical

transparency, it's not just every email, but his entire calendar. i mean that's a radical transparency move. it's because the bushes have been to this rodeo before and they're anticipating future attacks. >> it's stroordextraordinary, it shows he doesn't feel like he has anything to hide. being willing to put everything you have out there. it's funny. what it does is it gives you a sense of governing. imagine if other governing dumped all of their emails and you get a sense of what the day in and day out is like of the daily governance? to the extent that constituents don't even believe they're emailing him. if there's nothing critical that comes out. it will be viewed in the context of thousands and thousands of other emails and nothing can be blown out of proportion when you have the full context of the governor's communications. >> it's interesting to see how much he emailed, he was constantly on that blackberry and responding to constituents and that does say something

about him. >> margaret was reading one of the emails on the way here. and it was actually a constituent asked that question -- he said is it staff or jeb. and he said it's jeb. >> there you go. that's it then. >> 30 or 40 hours a week he was spending on this and he was an early adapter. this sort of really being on email, dealing directly with constituents it speaks to the man and his style of governing that creates a contrast with the other bushes. >> let's going on with wisconsin governor scott walker. is he experiencing a surge in popularity right now? and if so what's behind it? >> he is unquestionably experiencing a surge in pos lart. both in the grassroots and conservative intelligencia. >> he has a lot of mainstream

appeal and access to major donors. the reason is because he had the good side of having three races in four years. his recall actually allowed him to tap major donors around the country because there are unlimited contributions that are able to participate in that recall election. so all the donors started writing him big checks. so that means he can go longer. >> the other part of hoovalon was making a face. >> i get how a blue state tea party governor from the midwest is doing well in iowa right now. leading in one of the polls that just came ott by one point. >> 15% they give him. >> reality check, when the greatest thing you've done as being governor is be so unpopular they want to kick you out halfway through your term that's not a ringing endorsement.

the republican national committee and priebus priebus. >> i think you have another tier of candidates that's sort of behind. we know this is a long race it takes two years to get there and then it is about you know who can get the most money to get through it. and i think walker is a contender. >> you'll have an emphasis on who. you're light on what. you won the election because the democrats were in disfavor. not because had you some plan you were offering or some rationale and i think that's why you're seeing a difficulty in congressional leadership early on. if you're not going to have the what then what's the who? >> this is like a dr. seuss book. >> reaganesque is starting to come up again. may he rest in peace, he was a

legend in american politics do you think that's the model you want to go if you want to win back the middle class, and you're going to have trickle-down? trickle-dool all of the deficit problems you had under ragen? >> in the conservative primary, the republican conservative primary, say reagan as much as you want. if you want to win a new generation of americans, the millennials were eight years old, they don't remember him. if you want the youth who are going to be more than 25% of the electorate electorate, don't do the reagan thing. >> then why do you keep saying it? >> you have the rnc over your shoulder right now. >> it is not the way to win a new coalition to build new coalition coalitions you can't keep harping back. i agree with you, i think it's nuts but republicans can't help themselves he's the last big successor who built coalitions on the republican side. >> margaret john.

thank you so much. >> i felt like margaret was almost with me on that. >> how did it feel? >> very odd. >> he's disoriented at the moment. we'll give awe whole commercial break to process that chris, okay? "nbc nightly news" anchor brian williams now the subject of punchlines we'll show you the the"the daily show" take.

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.

bri-why? why bri? sigh. >> i see the problem -- we got us a case here of info tanment confusion syndrome. it occurs when the celebrity cortex gets its wired crossed with the medulla anchordala news story -- war story. trust me on this.

total bull [ bleep ]. >> jon stewart taking on the brian williams scandal on the "today show"today daily show last night. so much to talk about with our own bri, why bri? brian stelter, host of cnn's "reliable sources." i want to talk about the stewart aspect of it he's the only one of the shows, none of the other late-night shows even touch the subject. which he found interesting when you think of the fact he was on fallon some 18 times between 2009-2013. several times on seth myers. >> and he was supposed to be on letterman this thursday. >> interesting that none of them would touch it. >> i thought larry willmore went a little tougher on williams than jon stewart did i do think

stewart was making some important points though about the moment in the culture we're in if we in 2003 -- infotainment. >> lot of people were in agreement about there weren't enough question asked about the war in iraq. lying or fibbing is something that the culture is engaged in and talking about and concerned by. that's one of the reasons that the story is resonating. >> "stars and stripes" military magazine has released a new segment, taped in a february 4th interview with brian williams where he tries to explain how he conflated the stories and why he got them wrong. but we're not sure that it actually helps him here let me play the portion of his explanation. >> what i was told by one of the crew members who was actually on your chinook is thaw guys were like an hour behind this

grouping of three chinooks out in front and that's three chin okays out in front came under fire and the middle one was hit. >> and that's the first i've heard of that i did not think we were in trail by that far. i could not see in front of us but i thought we were just in one flotilla for lack of a better word. that's the first time i've heard that. >> so he says it's the first time that he heard he was an hour behind. but during the actual reporting in 2003 i believe he they had mentioned that he was 45 minutes to an hour behind. does this help explain that he confused his memory? or does it hurt? >> some think the interview does help. it does show that maybe he did not know what was going on at that moment in the mission until he was told about it in "stars and stripes" and told about it by these soldiers. you wonder why he didn't do more checking at the time. in the hours and days after this rpg strike on a helicopter near

him, why didn't he do more reporting at that time. >> the original reporting that they did had it just about right, right? the original reporting by nbc. that it changed over time. >> except that several soldiers told the magazine and told me that they heard an nbc report that exaggerated the tale within weeks of the incident. no one has found the transcript. every hour of iraq war coverage is not logged or online. maybe the video is out there somewhere. if it is it's damning for brian williams these soldiers say they heard it we haven't seen it i thought it was notable in the "stars and stripes" interview, williams says he doesn't think it's true. and it happened on wednesday, the apology on air is what triggered all the rest of this. people thought it wasn't sufficient. in the magazine interview, he said he didn't know if he was going to apologize on air. it suggests to me nbc didn't understand how much of a crisis this could become. if they weren't aware how severe

it could be to as a hit to his reputation. >> as you mentioned, it was february 4th interview was done. why is it now only coming to light and we're hearing about it? >> stars and stripes said they put it out now because he canceled on letterman, because there's no other interviews scheduled, they sthaut thought she should share all of this. >> stars and stripes is a very specific thing. this this is not kind of stuff they ordinarily engage in. i think it's a good suggestion who is the critic base? in part it's brian's competition. also the media is in a tough spot when it gets into this we're going to judge who's good and bad at the job. i think we don't want to give a pass to the late-night comedians. they're so desperate to be relevant. want to take on the media all the time. jon stewart is going to talk about info dlt t infotainment. letterman, he did this on

letterman, how do they not talk about this and say they are a relevant outpost for media criticism. >> is that an outpost for elitism. >> it shows that they don't doe do what we are forced to do by mandate, you have to talk about it because there's a standard. >> does the public care? does this resonate out in the rest of the country? >> yes, i'm very curious about that. on friday after four days winning in the ratings, brian williams dropped to number two before he took his leave of absence, an early indication that some viewers were paying attention and there's a "new york times" report this morning with some interesting market research data. by a firm called the marketing arm. he was the number 23 most trusted person in the america. he fell all of a sudden to number 835. so that might be temporary, another example that the public is paying attention. >> let's say nbc was to take a

really aggressive stance and say he's out or he decides to take himself out of the chair permanently. then what? what does nbc do? do they have a bench that lends itself to stepping in and filling the shoe. >> i think lester host who filled in last night has been there for a decade he's been filling in. >> well-respected. >> definitely well-respected. we quoted someone yesterday as saying tloos there's not a curve ball he can't take. he can't appear too comfortable in the job, lest he appear to be taking advantage of the situation, but he has to zed steddy the ship. matt lauer, savannah guthrie, josh elliott. i think the network has options, it will be an extraordinary moment to force him out or have him leave voluntarily as a result of this. >> that job is not just another news desk job.

i know the audience is stratifying in the morning. the morning has become a bigger financial outpost and relevancy outpost. people when they tune in when things matter. when bad things are going on the men and women who occupy those jobs count it can't just be somebody. >> it's still a special role. it's still a role many young journalists aspire to have. even when very bad news or very good news happens, those are the top jobs. even in the stratified media age. that's one of the reasons why he's being held to such a high standard. >> the conversations continue on twitter or facebook. get into the conversation with us. one story, but there are so many this morning. a lot of news, let's get to it. boston has been pummeled. >> the crippleing effect of all of this snow. >> it's been 14 days we've gotten 70 to 80 inches of snow around the common welt. >> the two leaders sounded very

far apart on the key question of sending arms to the ukrainian military. >> i've asked my teeam to look at all options. authorities investigating as to if jesse matthews could be connected to a string of unsolved killings and disappearances in the area. >> 18-year-old hannah graham disappeared from the university of virginia and her body was found a month later. >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and michaela pereira. we begin with the relentless record-breaking snow paralyzing new england. boston shattering the record for the most snowfall in the last month with more than five feet of snow on the ground. the state's governor declaring a state of emergency. >> the snow has the city at a standstill. streets are impassable. cars are buried the rail service has trouble. now there are reports of roofs collapsing under the weight of the very heavy snow. let's begin our team coverage with rosa flores live in boston

for us. big city there. certainly by massachusetts standards, and everything is just frozen. what's the latest? >> you know i want to show you the magnitude of the prolonged snow event. you can see there's a lot of snow around me. the snow banks very very high. i want to measure one for you, really quickly just to give you an idea this one, measures at about 45 inches here. and you're probably thinking rosa that's a snowbank no big deal. hear this -- the national weather service saying boston is going to receive more than six feet of snow. i stand probably an inch shy of that. and the snow doesn't only pack on roads, take a look up here. it packs on roofs. making the situation very dangerous. this morning, history is blanketing boston. millions wake up to over six feet of snow falling in the city since mid january.

making the past 30 days the snowiest month in history. >> no city administration has ever dealt with this much snow in a very short period of time. >> the region bearing the brunt of the third snowstorm in just three weeks. sending them into a statewide emergency and closing schools again. >> if i've learned one thing over the course of the past two weeks, it's -- mother nature makes the rulings. >> so much snow in fact the massachusetts governor says you could fill up the patriots home stadium 90 times over with the snow they've already removed. on the road vehicles buried. as near white-out conditions leave transportation at a standstill. this commuter train stuck after snow piles onto the tracks forcing the more than 50 passengers to wait for a bus. >> they were sending a rescue train to try to push it back into the quincy station and that got stuck, also.

>> the massive snowfall weighing down roofs. with collapses inevitable. >> i guy started yelling, get out, get out. >> south of boston construction workers say they had mere seconds to get out. before the flattened building in caved this behind them. >> the weight of snow on the buildings is getting critical. >> the city working around the clock. plows desperately trying to transfer snow to what's called snow farms. vacant parking lots that house massive melting machines. now you can see that streets are very very narrow. making it very treacherous for emergency responders. take a look at this. you never know what's behind one of these snow banks. i'm going to dig back in here quickly. to show you -- that any one of these mounds it could actually be a car. take a look, alisyn. it's a silver car.

right in here. so -- again, you just never, you never know what you're going to find. making it very dangerous. especially for emergency responders who are perhaps trying to wiggle through some of these narrow streets. >> can you tell rosa to dig the car out, she's got the shovel. >> chris thinks you should dig the car out. we didn't know what you were going to find. there was some suspense are you in beacon hill? >> yes. >> right, i mean the streets -- >> you can see a lot of streets -- >> they're so narrow and cobblestone typically they're hard to dwrif down. what are you they like today behind you? >> take a look. it's very very narrow. you can see a car coming through. visibility is very low. some of the cars sit low, alisyn and so imagine trying to look around you. you really can't or trying to make a corner. it's very dangerous. people have to drive carefully because visibility is low. >> be careful there, rosa, stay

warm we'll be back with you shortly. no rest for the winter weary. there's more snow on the way for the northeast. let's turn to meteorologist chad myersors for the forecast make it stop. >> maybe in ten days. every storm that comes by now has the potential to put down snow. the atlantic ocean is thawed so we get the ocean effect. every time a low like this one comes in contact with the warm ocean, the gulf stream there another low can form and it runs up the east coast as a coastal low. there's another storm behind this one. this one may be four to six for boston. it could be more. i'm not tham pressed, maybe to six to eight on the american models. the story is that every single time a low goes by because the jet stream is a big dig like this and the cold air is in place. every time a storm goes by -- it's going to snow. >> guys back to you. >> okay chad thanks so much. i like the snow now isn't even impressing him.

>> unless it's a foot or more. >> he's not feeling 100% but we appreciate it. we are at a critical moment that could determine the fate of ukraine and russia's rumored annexation plan for former soviet states. leaders of france germany, russia and ukraine will meet face to face in minsk tomorrow. we're hearing that top rebel leaders won't be represented. what does that mean about consensus? president obama says he does support the diplomacy effort. but he is still considering sending arms to ukraine's military. let's bring in cnn's michelle kosinski live at the white house. arming ukraine was once a good idea now it's seen as maybe a bad idea? what's the latest? >> well you know, it was also a question if the u.s. and germany differ so much on the possibility of arming ukraine, how can they keep talking about this unity among allies? >> well the president said he's still working on making that decision, he's consulting with allies. that you have to keep trying for diplomacy. and then arming ukraine would be

an option only if that fails and he had german chancellor angela merkel. she disagrees with the idea, but in a show of unity says let's give the russians one more chance at diplomacy. if it doesn't work then you have to explore other options, that's a big difference from what she said just a few days ago. in strong opposition to arming ukraine. even if she still feels that way. on the other hand you have republican lawmakers outspoken. senator lindsay graham calling the president's stance continued weakness in the face of aggression. you have some even within the administration and the state department and the pentagon. as well as the ukrainians themselves saying now is the time to arm them. because ukrainians are being killed. and they feel it would give the ukrainian as stronger voice at the diplomatic table. >> the one thing that's clear is that ukraine's military is taking a pounding communities are being lost there, thousands have been killed. so that's the obvious, the question is how to stop it let's

get some perspective about what may work and what won't work. steven pifer, former u.s. ambassador to the ukraine and now a senior fellow at the brookings institution, ambassador thanks for joining us. arming ukraine. secretary kerry said he wanted to do it the white house is gettinging ready to pull. now? not so much. what do you think? >> the goal of arming ukraine, for those of us who advocated has been to change the calculus in moscow to raise the cost of aggression to the russians to the point where the kremlin concludes that military action is no longer worthwhile and to move them to negotiated diplomatic solution. and in that sense, i actually thought that the visit of chancellor merkel revealed a lot less difference than people were talking about on saturday. the germans are not going to provide arms to ukraine. nobody expected them to. but seems to me that she made the point while there will be u.s./european unity. there may be some disagreements that may include this question

of providing arms. >> help us with this question, it plays into the criticism of u.s. never having a clear strategy. the u.s. says we're going to arm ukraine. but we're going to give them defensive weapons, we're going to give them weapons that allow them to defend themselves and take back territory, but not beat back russia. that doesn't seem to make sense. how does that make sense from a governmental diplomatic perspective that may avoid common sense? >> i think it makes a lot of sense in that if you look over the last six months the russians have been very nervous about casualties or about public references in russia to the fact that the russian army is fighting in eastern ukraine. i personally don't think that mr. putin cares that much about dead russian soldiers but he cares about the impact of that on his public standing at home. you've seen extraordinary links in the last six months the russians burying soldiers at night. wounded soldiers are told if you revealed that you suffered the wounds in ukraine, you'll suffer

your disability pension. to the extend you give the you yai cranians the ability to defend itself better, that raises the cost and that may make it more uncomfortable for mr. putin. the goal is to shift him to where chancellor merkel and president obama were talking about yesterday, a negotiate solution. >> how do you square that with the idea that putin has been relatively wildly popular at home because of this narrative, you could argue, false narrative, that the west is against him. and that you know this ukraine situation is proof of that and that's why he is popular? >> yeah i think to this point, if there is you know lots of evidence to suggest from russian polling that put sn popular. but polls consistently show that large majorities of russian does not want to see the russian army fighting in the ukraine at all. and i think that's why vladimir

putin has gone to extraordinary lengths to say that there's no russian forces or russian equipment in the ukraine at this point. >> why does he not admit they're there when everybody knows. we don't have the answer to that how about dipsdiplomacy in general? why is that seen as a legitimate basis for a starting point? >> you go back to the minsk cease-fire that was worked out in september and unfortunately the russians did nothing to implement the requirements imposed on russia such as securing the border between russia and ukraine or withdrawing the heavy equipment out of ukraine. the hope is this time things may have changed in their calculus i keep my expectations very modest in minsk. to date it's not clear that the russians want a stlemtettlement. some of us believe the russian

goal is to destabilize the ukraine government. to make it harder for ukraine to draw close torte european union by implementing the association agreement did that's the russian goal the current situation is probably very fine. but the question is are the prospects of more costs, the economic sanctions which have been imposed by the west taking a toll on the russian economy and now the prospect that at some point the united states or other nato allies might begin providing arms to ukraine. will that change the calculus in moscow so that tomorrow president putin is prepared to negotiate. >> word out of germany and france they do believe that there's hope that a proposal could be put together to pleases both sides. do you see some optimism there? >> you could receive of a proposal i would argue would be acceptable to ukraine and meet the russian demands as they've been articulated. the reason i would tend to be a little bit skeptical is a lot of these points have been out there

for six or eight months. president poroshenko has talked about decentralization pushing some authority out to eastern ukraine. he's talked about official status for russian language. he said he's prepared to take nato off the table. that may be more difficult for him now. the russians have not picked up on those issues earlier. the question is the russian concern about potential costs both to their economy and the prospect that military costs may grow if there's a flow of western arms to ukraine. does that change the calculation and make tomorrow something different? >> one of the ironies, ukraine's government does have real issues but what russia is doing has clouded them over and put the focus on russia as the bad guy. thank you very much for your perspective. breaking news overnight in the tragic case of university of virginia opportunity hannah graham, her body was found after a month-long search last fall. there is now word of a major development involving the man accused of kidnapping her. cnn's jean casarez is following

it all for us. jean what do we know? >> the man is jesse matthew. so many young women have gone missing from the commonwealth of virginia so when hannah graham went missing in the fall of last year the community decided we've had enough. and there was an all-out search week after week for hannah graham. her skeletal remains were found in the middle of october and since then we've heard nothing. now we hear there's an impromptu press conference with an update. could there be murder charges in the death of hannah graham? >> the man at the center of the hannah graham murder case has been under the microscope of police for the past several months 32-year-old jesse matthew crossed authorities' radar in september when the 18-year-old university of virginia student went missing, just before dawn on september 13th when graham was last spotted by cameras at a downtown mall near campus matthew also seen in the footage. the surveillance video and other

accounts led authorities to identify matthew as the suspect in her disappearance. on september 24th he was taken into custody on charges of abduction, with the intent to defile. after police picked him up in again vesten county texas, 1300 miles away from charlottesville. in october, graham's remains were found, only eight miles from the mall where the college sophomore was last seen. now sources are telling cnn affiliates that matthews' charges have been upgraded to first-degree murder. meanwhile, authorities investigating if he could be connected to a string of unsolved killings and disappearances in the area. he is also charged with sexually assaulting a woman in virginia in 2005. he has pleaded not guilty in that case scheduled for trial in march. and cnn cannot confirm these reports. now last night, i spoke with the jail outside charlottesville and i was told by a sergeant there

on duty that jesse matthew was not at the jail in charlottesville. he remains in fairfax county virginia awaiting charges on a sexual assault. at this point i was told there's no word much him coming into the area. but there could be video conferencing if he has to have the initial appearance because of an upgrade of charges. >> we'll be watching that here on cnn, jean, thank you so much. meanwhile our legal professionals, our local analysts will analyze the challenges that prosecutors face when they make their case later this morning. snow and ice a deadly combination on the new jersey turnpike. one person killed and dozens injured in a 15-vehicle pile-up just outside of new york city last night. four semis and two box trucks were involved in the wreck. police say the highway became treacherous when temperatures plunged below freezing. such a mess and so dangerous out there. dominique strauss-kahn remember that name?

the former head of the international monetary fund? is testifying on pimping charges this morning, accused of organizing sex parties with prostitutes in europe and the u.s. he has admitted to attending the parties. but testified he did not know the women were prostitutes. strauss-kahn was arrested in new york in 2011 in an entirely different sex scandal. accused of sexually assaulting a maid. 45 years after apollo 11 landed on the moon a bag of sour nirs brought back by the late neil armstrong has appeared. a 16-millimeter movie camera from inside the spacecraft one used to capture armstrong's famous first steps. this treasure trove was discovered by his widow, carol armstrong. woor told the items were intended to be left on the moon but armstrong carried them back and kept them a secret. i think that's one of the tethers that was used a waist tether to tether him to the

spacecraft. apparently it's going to be on display at the smithsonian. part of their exhibit there. >> that's good. >> those seem important. >> look in your closets. >> it was in a box that said "move stuff." >> a shoe box. thanks so much. same-sex marriage became legal in alabama this week. but county officials refusing to issue marriage licenses. louisiana governor bobby jindal is here with his take on the standoff. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500 its yield is doing a lot better...

same-sex marriage becomes legal in alabama this week but several county officials refusing to issue marriage licenses. this comes ahead of a federal

decision expected in just a few months which could expand same-sex marriage to the entire country, making gay marriage a hot-button issue heading into the 2016 presidential race. let's bring in bob judgeby jindal the republican louisiana governor to talk about this. what do you make about what's going on in the state that a neighboring state to louisiana and alabama, where the county officials will not issue marriage licenses to gay couples? >> let's step back and remember how we got here. remember there are a lot of politicians that have so-called evolved on this issue. remember when president obama first ran for office he was for traditional marriage. saw the polls change he changed his position. i'm not one of those politicians, my faith teaches me that marriage is between a man and a woman. i don't believe in discrimination against anybody, i'm not for changing the definition of marriage. i hope the supreme court decides not to overturn the state

decisions. my hope is that supreme court will respect what states have already decided. >> are you comfortable with local county officials defying a federal court order? >> i think ultimately the supreme court has got to decide this. the supreme court has created uncertainty with their earlier rulings. in louisiana we had an amendment to the state constitution done with a democratic governor democratic house, overwhelming majority of our people voted to say we want marriage to be between a man and a woman. my hope is that the courts don't come in and say to the people of louisiana, we're going to throw out your legislative decision in our state the federal judge has upheld our definition. >> in the meantime. aren't county officials supposed to be defying a federal court order? before the supreme court takes it up. >> we're a nation of laws. that's why i've said i want the supreme court not to overturn our law, that's why if ultimately the supreme court were to do this i think the remedy would be a constitutional amendment in the congress to

tell the court you can't overturn what the states have decided. i think voters even if they disagree with a candidate with their views on marriage will respect leaders that say i'm going to take my positions, they're not going do change with the polls, they're not go to evolve because it's politically correct. my hope is that the supreme court won't overturn the state laws. if they do i think the remedy is for the congress to amend the constitution and say look let's respect what the states have decided. >> here's what is confuseing about conservative positions on gay marriage. conservatives like to talk about how great marriage is and the stabilizing effect marriage has on families and communities, it's best if couples are married. so why not extend that same think being to gay folks? >> alisyn, i'll speak for myself and i know there are a lot of us that believe in the traditional view of marriage. i'm a christian. it's been held in the christian faith for 2,000 years now, and the concept of marriage is even

older than that. it's not meant to condone any type of discrimination. there were a lot of folks not that long ago that held that same position. it's only recently as the polls changed, some politicians changed their views, so for many of us it's a very important part of our faith that doesn't mean we want to discriminate against others but it does mean that we say marriage has been between a man and a woman in our faith it is something that is defined that way, it has been defined that way. we don't think we should change it. in our state overwhelming majority have agreed with that and my state of louisiana across party lines or across the entire state. we think it's not right for the court to come and enforce people to change that. i'm speaking from a state where an overwhelming majority in both parties came out and said we like the way that marriage has been defined and we don't want to change it. >> let's talk about what is going on in europe and you got into a little bit of trouble a couple of weeks ago when you talked about the no go zones.

in london and paris where supposedly nonmuslims cannot go. have you clarified your thinking or your statements on that yet? >> alisyn i knew my comments were going to rile up people on the left. whenever you speak honestly about the threat of radical islamic terrorism, the politically correct do not like this. no go zones are areas where there's sharia law. and the left try to jump on the semantics, i don't care if you call them sensitive urban zones or no go zones. the bigger point is that islam has got a problem. muslim leaders have got to condemn, not just generic acts of violence but these individual terrorists, saying these fools are terrorists and are going straight to hell. i have to believe that the majority of muslims don't condone these terrorists but it's important for them to condemn the individuals for committing these acts and for the west it's important for

officials to insist that people coming into our countries to assimilate and integrate. that's a dangerous trend. you're seeing it in europe and it could happen in america if we're not careful. >> do you believe there are neighborhoods that are off-limits in london and paris to nonmuslims? or are you saying that are some where people may not feel as comfortable as other places. but are you saying they're no go zones. >> it's not like they're there are fences around the neighborhoods, but the points is that women or outsiders don't feel as comfortable going in they feel if they're not veil the, they're not welcome there. the police get reports of violent crimes attempts by the local communities to impose as much of sharia law as they can. you see the areas in the uk and france and you have second-generation immigrants that don't consider themselves

parts of the larger society. our president doesn't like to use those words. in america the threat i see, i'm not saying we've got those zones here but if we continue to insist on hyphenating americans, if we refuse to teach about america as an exceptional country with english as our language, we risk going down the path that europe has gone where they don't insist on assimilation and integration. one of the strengths of america is 2 doesn't matter how long you've been here five minutes or 100 years, we consider you americans, many folks come here and serve in our military. it doesn't matter what color are you, it doesn't matter where you came from if you're willing to adopt our freedoms the right to vef self-determination and religious freedom and freedom of speech. >> your new education reform plan? >> we like to say we believe in equality of opportunity and education. that's not the reality. the reality is folks that live in wealthy neighborhoods can send their kids to great schools

or good private schools. too many kids are trapped in failing schools. the democratic party is bought and paid for by the teacher unions standing in the schoolhouse door preventing equality of opportunity for all children. we present a plan repealing common core and putting great teachers in every classroom. >> we want to end on this shot i believe this is your portrait and it's caused a bit of a kerfuffle here. the one on the left well first of all, neerts of these look that much like you, i don't think, governor. what's the problem with the one on the left? >> the left goes crazy about race and i think this is such a silly argument. my point is. >> because they think the one on the left you look too white. >> this was donated by a constituent, i've never met the artist it's not owned by me or the state, it's not an official portrait. i think we need to move beyond race left is obsessed with race. i said yesterday at a press gathering, a reporter was

obsessed with this. you can put it in every store you want that jindal is not white. we need to stop dividing people by race by the color of their skins, it's the dumbest way to divide people. i've got no patience for it i think the american people are better than that. there's one of the folks on the far left said some ridiculous things about me and my race people need to get over this. they need to start saying look we're all americans, we're not african-americans, asian-americans, indian-americans we're just all americans. >> i'm just glad the portrait shows you with good hair which you have. a different direction, tomorrow's powerball drawing, $450 million. what are the chances you could win the jackpot? i'm weighing them right now.

the odds of winning are tiny. just one in 175 million. guys this is a huge point of contention on the cnn money desk. christine romans says stay away. and i say if you're going to buy a latte, maybe forgo that and take a chance. >> a good payoff. >> possibly. >> chances are against it but it could pay off. do you feel like reading more than a quarter million emails too and from jeb bush? if so today's your lucky day, but you don't have to read all of them for the juicy tidbits, john king has already done that and he will tell you what he's found, "inside politics."

time for "inside politics," on "new day" with, mr. john king. good news good looking. >> look at that that's a nice happy toss this morning. happy tuesday to you guys. got nice weather here in d.c. i feel all that stuff in the northeast. >> you're from there. >> my family is in the snow in boston they're loving it my

siblings they love it we got a busy morning "inside politics," with me to share reporting and insight, we've emptied out the "washington post." nia malika henderson of the "washington post" and ed o'keefe. a lot of auction on the 2016 republican field. let's start with the new jersey governor chris christie. he's in iowa went out for a forum a couple of weeks ago, now he's back. he said maybe i'm from new jersey maybe people have told me i'm not a conservative he says yes, i am. says as you get to know me you're going gog think i'm just like this guy. >> one of the great things about president reagan is the american people felt like we knew him and that if a challenge came up we'd have a pretty good idea about what ronald reagan might say and what he would do. >> chris christie is ronald reagan? it's who you want to be if you're running in a republican primary. no says i'm going to be like george w. bush or even like john mccain or mitt romney.

they go back to ronald reagan. >> not a comparison that would have leaped to the top of my mind and probably not a comparison that would leap to the top of most voters' minds in iowa. chris christie was there for his 11th trip to iowa. he keeps telling people in iowa that eventually they're going to like them. you're going to really like me. i think accord together polls he's at 4%. but at some point he's going to have to get past this selling of his personality, right? i think he's in danger of being having a candidacy too wrapped up in his personality. >> one of the things he's talking about, you say personality, he has to put some policy in. for the last several months you've asked him questions and he says i'm not going to talk about it until i'm an official candidate. listen to him in this speech in west des moines talking about the isis threat and turning his attention to president obama who he describes here as quite weak. >> you see the president taking bows. saying he has terrorism on the

run. yet isis is beheading people. and burning foreign soldiers alive. >> this one i think is going to be interesting over the next couple of weeks. you have the candidates out there, okay. perfectly fine you want to criticize the president, what would you do. ted cruz over the weekend saying you have to get tougher. you're going to have on the capital behind me a debate in the next couple of weeks when the president asks for a formal authorization of military force. senator paul senator rubio, senator cruz are going to have to vote on that senator warren on the democratic side. we'll get to see hot future would-be presidents ask them more specifics on this. >> you say weeks, it will be months of debate on this i think what he's doing here is bringing up a real popular concern among republicans about the president, we have it on our front page today, the idea that the president slow walks things whether it's isis or ukraine. on the campaign trail, easy to

quickly respond to things. i think the president thinks differently about that but the fact that this debate will be happening and a majority of those running for president are not directly involved in the debate. it will be interesting to see what level they're willing to engage in providing specifics, while three republicans will have to cast a vote. >> someone rather hawkish is marco rubio. >> a lot of people thought when jeb bush got so act niv running that markco rubio would step back. but he said no he's just hired a big name to help him out in new hampshire. listen to him here talking about why he thinks that he's a little different than the current president. >> i think that also hopefully look for someone who has more of a track record than just a handful of years as back bench anywhere the state legislature and a handful of years in the

senate. >> criticizing president obama who was in the illinois state senate then he came to washington, was in the united states senate briefly. marco rubio was the speaker of the florida house, is that just about president obama, or your head is shaking. am i supposed to read hello, senator cruz. >> i think you can read that into yes, senator cruz comparing himself in rubio comes out more favorably in this. but i think he's still got a hard sell there. this idea of that the republican party, that so criticized obama for being a lightweight, for only being in the senate for one term. how he comes in as the young fresh face who doesn't have that much experience either. i think he's trying to combat that by seeming to be very serious. he's had his head down. he's been studying. and in some ways he's emerged as a more credible contender than some of the other folks who are in many ways looked at as more front-runners. >> rand paul i think you're right. he's very much meticulously

very studiously preparing for this. hiring big-name staffers. jim merrill was a guy who was with romney sought after by everyone that that's a very big pick-up for rubio. and full steam ahead. money events scheduled. he's preparing policy statements and looks as if he's preparing to go. probably trying to emerge as the congressional alternative, or at least the more serious alternative coming out of congress. >> let's end on jeb bush's release, 275,000 emails you're about to take a trip to boston. likely to sit on the tarmac for a long time. 275,000. smart on his part. you can get them under public records laws put them out there. say i'm transparent. i've had some funny email exchanges with governor bush over the years. what's the main goal here for jeb? >> i think it's transparency. that's the thing, get to know me i'm going to get out here with 275,000 emails. and also sort of tweaking clinton. because there's lots of

discussion about when she's going to release the state department emails so he's trying to set the pace. >> chris christie's emails are tied up in federal investigations right now. and others don't have as big a trail. it's a demonstration that this is how a candidate who came about in a different era can start to put out his vision of what he should be doing, an example of what he did in the past. i've been reading through them. there's nothing terribly interesting so far. but it gives you a good example of how frequently a and how willing he was to engage people not just his staff. but the public on email. >> alisyn how quick he was to use technology. he said governor of big state. be in touch with your constituents. we'll learn about his policy decisions and mindset. we'll learn about his emails about a raccoon in the tree. what do you think about that. we have breaking

developments for new the killing of the university of virginia student hannah graham there are reports that someone has been charged with her murder. is it the man she was last seen with? we'll explain. 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.

breaking overnight. reports this morning that jesse matthew, the man accused of kidnapping hannah graham has been charged in her murder. want to bring in jeffrey toobin former federal prosecutor and joey jackson, hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney for the prosecution and defense, this is a great conversation for us to have. jeffrey, let's talk about this because, again, this press conference coming at around 11:00 today. we're expecting to hear that he already has been charged, an upgrade from what he was charged with abduction with attempt to defiel in graham's case. help us understand the upgrade in the charge. >> well it can be dna evidence. it could be some sort of forensic evidence. what's been striking about this case is that this man appears to be a suspect in multiple cases, including a sexual assault, the

death of a virginia tech student several years earlier. what's curious is that apparently there was forensic evidence tying him to those two cases but not the hannah graham case. perhaps the announcement today will suggest that there is forensic evidence in this case. >> so as a defense attorney, what is the challenge then for the defense if this kind of forensic evidence exists? what poses -- what challenges does this pose? >> a couple of things michaela. it's a difficult case. they had jesse matthew. he went into the police station. he actually left the police station. he's found 1300 miles away in galveston. he needs to be extradited back. they'll use that as consciousness of guilt. dna it doesn't tell us when it got there or how it got there. defense attorneys will challenge that. in addition to challenging the dna, based on reliability and contamination. we know michaela that there is

surveillance of jesse matthew with her and certainly to the extent that you may have interaction with someone based on the nature of the interaction, your dna might be there. does it make you a killer? no. so i would suspect as the case goes on you'll see the defense challenging it in that regard. >> jeffrey, then the prosecution has to prove the intent has to prove he was there, has to prove all of this. talk about the challenge for them. >> well one of the big legal issues in this case is can the prosecution introduce evidence of the other accusations against him? because certainly in a case like this the jury would think where there's smoke there's fire. if this guy keeps being tied to all these different disappearances and crimes against women, that would be extremely devastating. judges are sometimes his siesitant to introduce accusations if it hasn't been proved but if the prosecution can establish a pattern of behavior then it

might be introduced. i don't know how you would respond to that. >> as a refresher for those at home in that area there has been a string of murders and missing persons, young women going missing and being found dead later. we do know that on friday investigators said the case of the missing 17-year-old alexis murphy is not linked to matthews so that is at least one case that they can separate. >> yes. >> there is this other case what a sexual assault of another woman back in 2005. >> yes, that's true. >> the behavior seemingly is there. >> in terms of the one that you mentioned, which is the murphy case in that case of course her killer, randy allen, has been convicted, sentenced for two life sentences. he's not in that. in 2009 there's morgan harrington and there's a link with dna on a shirt. in the 2005 case which he's going on trial for in march, that relates to an attempted murder an actual section all-- sexual assault, a rape. whether that will be able to be

used no. even if you establish that it's a motive a common scheme a plan which would legally make it admissible it's overly prejudicial. the lawyers will say, hey, if you believe he's done anything in the past of that variety, then clearly he did this and trials have to be based on the merits of that trial, not presumptions about what you did at some other time and place. >> good point. again, we'll find out this information. it's supposed to happen around 11:00 a.m. eastern time a press conference. we'll wait and of course cnn will be watching you and bringing you that news. our thanks to you, joey and jeffrey. each new record for the northeast in snow marks a real problem. schools, roads, families we're going to take you live to boston and give you a first-happened look at -- first-hand look at what they're going through. maybe we weren't the lowest rate this time. but when you show people their progressive direct rate and our competitors' rates

boston has been pummelled. >> it's only been 14 days folks, and we've gotten 70 to 80 inches of snow around the commonwealth. >> if we don't get moving this will bury us quickly. >> the wind is so hard so it makes it worse. >> isis still has not offered any proof to back up their claim that mueller was killed in the

jordanian airstrike. >> it has been a living hell for the family. you go numb. you don't want to hear it. you don't want to believe it. >> married and in love. you may kiss one another. >> yahoo! >> what may have worked ten years ago -- >> is not going to work anymore. >> the supreme court has said by a vote of 7-2 same-sex marriages can proceed in alabama. >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and micaela pereira. good morning. welcome to your "new day." it is tuesday, february 10th. 8:00 in the east. more than five feet of snow piled up before a new snowstorm hit the northeast dropping an additional 20 inches. simple math. almost 7 feet of snow. public schools are closed again in boston leaving families in the lurch. kids possibly having to make up the time listen to this on saturdays and by losing some spring break. ouch. >> and the state's governor

declaring a state of emergency. roads are impassable. cars are buried. all rail service shut down and growing concerns that roofs may collapse under the weight of all the heavy snow. we begin our team coverage with rosa flores. she is live in boston for us. rosa we know you're in beacon hill which can be tough to navigate even on a good day. tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: well like you mentioned, massachusetts in a state of emergency. boston with snow busting into the streets. snow busting into sidewalks. you can see here. and also busting budgets. the mayor announcing that $18 million for all of the snow removal, not enough. he is doubling that in order to make ends meet. now here's the other thing, schools are closed. nonessential employees are asked to stay home which also means for businesses that's a no-no. piles of snow does not mean piles of cash. now earlier i had showed you a car under a mound of snow.

this is actually the mound of snow but we've done a little tv magic for you just to show you what some of these folks are having to dig themselves out of. this car is the lucky one. take a look. it's completely uncovered, but if you take a look around we'll turn this corner and you'll see how narrow the streets of beacon hill have turned just because of these mounds of snow. here's a car. take a look. i can actually come in through here and you can see that we dug it up a little bit, alisyn and chris. take a look. it's going to take a while. it's going to take a lot of manpower. it's going to take a lot of these owners a lot of time to dig out of the snow. >> rosa we didn't know what you were going to find out there when you started digging. we didn't know if it was going to be alka pope's tomb. we didn't know if it was going to be a family of squirrels or what but it is an actual car. >> reporter: you know unfortunately, sometimes it's not that sexy. there's also piles of snow over

trash because imagine just the basics are very difficult during a snowstorm of this magnitude that's very prolonged. so some of these mounds of snow are just trash piles, alisyn. not so sexy but you know what i mean. >> that's a bad surprise when you unearth that. rosa, thanks so much for showing us around beacon hill. stay warm. be careful. >> she didn't dig it out. at least the owner knows where their car is. >> that's a good question. >> you might forget where you parked your car. that cameraman, did you see how that guy was walking around and shooting that with that big camera on and he can't look where he's walking. you know. >> dangerous. >> what we do for you people. here's a problem, another round of snow is on the way. so let's turn to meteorologist chad myers for the forecast. i'm not going to just dump it on you chad ever. i know you're not feeling well. i see you're glossy down there. explain why. why are we having this extended period of storm after storm?

>> ridge. think of a big bump in the jet stream in the west. turns into a trough in the east. every time a logos through that trough it's cold enough to make snow. now every once in a while a warmup. i think ten days from now we get to a warmup but every time it snows it piles on literally piling on from where we are now. mostly sunny skies. if you go out today, sunglasses please. it is going to be a snow blind kind of day, but here comes the snow for tomorrow and tomorrow night. the low develops off the east coast like they always do. warm water, cold land snowstorm. and i think probably 6 to 8 is the biggest number i'm going to see here but for boston they don't need 2. where are you going to put it? you have to keep throwing it higher and higher and higher. new york city don't see it for you. you're far enough to the west and the south of this storm as every dig of the jet stream comes in you're going to stay cold get more snow but not for this one. the west good morning, west. you are hot.

you could be breaking record highs out in the west but we're breaking record lows in the east. temperatures through the next couple of days for new york the morning lows look at that 9, 2, boston 1. bangor 1 below. you don't melt snow at numbers like that. it just stays for a long time. >> all right, chad. i just made a decision for my life. i'm going to retire south of the jet stream. that's my goal in life. >> deal. >> all right? you feel better, my friend. want to turn to someone on the phone right now. peter judge is with the massachusetts emergency management team. mr. judge, you have been in the thick of it there in massachusetts. good to have you with us again. >> thank you. thanks for having me. >> what are your priorities for your agency at this hour? >> the city is in the digout process. we're going to break down. the sun is out and although it's cold we're going full bore on the state level to assist cities to move that snow either to snow farms or in some cases a lot of communities have permission from the

environmental protection agency to begin dumping some of the snow into the harbor ocean or some of the major rivers. >> the national weather service is saying so far this winter 76.5 inches of snow. it has snowed 13 out of 17 days. y'all aren't getting a chance to really catch your breath. >> no. that's the thing with this. i mean you know everyone's been working full bore for the last three weeks and so you know -- it doesn't look like there's relief in sight with thursday and then sunday at least something coming in. i guess at this point 6 inches is just like a bug in the windshield. >> sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. this time we know what you are. let's talk about that. you talk about where to put all of that snow and what to do with it. given the fact that you have another snowfall coming and another deep freeze coming i imagine the priority is to get rid of as much of that as you can. give us an idea about the snow farms and snow melters. you essentially are trying to melt it. is that working? are you getting ahead of it at all? >> catching up with it.

literally they're going are're going full bore. we have trucks basically moving as much of this snow as possible and, as i said we're making every effort. the melters really have i think, processed anywhere from 10,000 truckloads to something more than that at this point. just really pushing the water out at the bottom at the end of the heater. it's a process and it seems to be working. >> you talked about getting some of those communities wavers from the epa to be allowed to dump the snow into the bay. we'll talk about that if we can. i want to talk about the schools. the kids already have had, what 6 snow days. that's going to have a real impact on their education and there's probably concern about them missing anymore. looks like they might have to. >> right. this goes back to the blizzard of '78 was the last time where we had sort of these extended number of snow days. at that time i remember schools made efforts to either start going on saturdays eliminating a

vacation or extending school hours. i know the state is looking at all those possibilities because, again, we're not done with this yet so it's not like okay we have to figure on six days. we are going to have many more no school days in our future if this pattern conditions. >> another snowstorm thursday and friday. potentially another one on sunday. frigid frigid temperatures. we send our warmest thoughts to you. peter judge joining us from the massachusetts emergency management agency. thanks so much for joining us. >> you're very welcome. >> alisyn. violence escalating in eastern ukraine. leaders of germany, france russia and ukraine will meet. while president obama wants a diplomatic solution sending arms to ukraine is still on the table. cnn's michelle koesinski is live from the white house. >> reporter: the risks we know. the benefits are less clear. what the president has said is he's still working on making the decision. he's talking to allies.

he says we have to keep trying for a diplomatic solution and that arming ukraine would be an option only if that failed. then you have german chancellor angela merkel. she disagrees with that option but in a show of unity said let's give the russians one more chance at diplomacy and if it doesn't work then we have to consider other options. that's a big difference from what we heard her say a few days ago. staunchly opposed to arming ukraine even though she still feels that way. both sides saying that unity between the u.s. and germany will remain strong no matter what happens. there is another side, though, we have republicans in congress. we just heard senator lindsey graham call the president's stance continued weakness in the face of aggression. you also have people even within the administration in the state department in the pentagon as well as the ukrainians themselves who feel that now is the time to arm them because they are being killed and they feel that arming ukraine would give them a stronger voice at

the diplomatic table. chris? >> michelle thank you very much. as these leaders talk about how to improve the situation in ukraine on the ground it is definitely getting worse. entire towns being shelled by pro russian separatists. many also known as russian soldiers. now there is a new development so let's go to cnn's fred pleitgen. what do we know? >> reporter: chris, when we talk about possibly giving arms to ukrainian military the big question is what kind of arms are they going to. the ukrainian officials have confirmed that they have a gigantic problem of spice within the ukrainian military apparently giving information to the russian military and to russian intelligence sources. i just spoke to a top counter intelligence official here in kiev and he told me that there are spies all the way up in the general command of the ukrainian military. in fact there was one very high

profile arrest just recently i was actually able to speak to that alleged spy in the jail where he was being kept. he told me that some of the things they say about him are true others are not. he didn't want to go into any detail beyond that because of course the investigation is still pending, but this is a very large problem. he told me that these alleged spies have divulged everything the kind of military hardware that's being involved, operational details to the russian military and to pro russian separatists. it's a huge problem. as you said all the while the fighting continues. one of the things that happened is that the headquarters of the ukrainian military that's guiding that so-called antiterror operation east of the country was shelled today and several people were killed chris. >> fred thank you very much. appreciate the reporting. check back with you. mich. a day of both frustration and celebration for gay couples in alabama. the same day the state made same-sex marriage legal, dozens of counties defied the feds by

defying issuing marriage licenses. we explain. >> you may kiss one another. >> yahoo! >> reporter: for chaunte wolf and tore re sisson their wedding day finally arrived. they are i have's deputies opened the doors to the clerk's office and in doing so opened this couple's lives to a status they had never known. >> god for bid if something were to happen we both are protected under the law. >> reporter: but for many gay couples in alabama, hoping to tie the knot on monday the courthouse doors were closed. >> it's a very disturbing to see our taxpayer money being wasted. to sit behind closed doors and hide. >> reporter: some local judges who issue marriage licenses decided to ignore a federal court ruling that cleared the way for same-sex marriages. >> sooner rather than later the federal courts in alabama are

going to tell them let these marriages proceed, and they will. >> reporter: at the epicenter of the dispute is alabama's chief justice, roy s. moore who ordered the judges to defy the federal court. >> here in this state we have taken a stand. >> reporter: the conservative judge is no stranger to controversy. in 2003 he was removed from his seat for defying a federal order to take down a display of the 10 commandments at the state's judicial building. voters put him back on the bench in 2012. monday his actions led to confusion and chaos throughout the state as some judges complied with moore's demand to deny marriage licenses to couples. >> this is the modern equivalent of the george wallace blocking the schoolhouse door and just like george wallace, judge moore is going to lose this battle too. >> reporter: suzanne malveaux cnn. another story breaking overnight. cnn affiliate in virginia

the parents of american isis hostage kayla mueller are holding on to any hope that their daughter is still alive. isis terrorists say mueller was killed friday in a jordanian airstrike, but they've offered no evidence of that and it's obviously something that they would like to spin. so let's get some perspective on what we do know and what can be done. we have with us arizona congressman paul gosar. he represents kayla mueller's hometown of prescott arizona. thank you very much congressman, for joining us. appreciate it. what can you tell us about what is known, if anything?

>> well you're pretty much caught up. i mean we have very poor information coming out of syria in regards to kayla's whereabouts and authenticity of her death, so the family holds out hope that she's still alive, and i hope that america joins with them in their thoughts and prayers. >> it would be nice to say that you can depend on daesh or whatever you want to call these terrorists if their claims to fight for women's rights might be true to treat a female prisoner differently. there's no proof of that in the offering. do you believe what they say about the jordanian airstrike? >> i don't. you know i have to hope for the best here chris. isis has actually shown over and over again confirmation of their hideous acts and so maybe just on maybe we actually see that this hasn't occurred and i just you know beg and plea that the parents have some hope. >> now you've taken up advocacy here and that is admirable. it doesn't always happen.

the state department what is your feeling about whether or not the state department knows what to do in these situations and is doing everything that can be done to bring kayla home? >> well i know that they had some poor resources, human resources in the area based upon the war torn nature of syria, chris, but they have tried over and over again to have some type of conversation but, you know with radical terrorism it's very very hard to have that communication. it's a one-way street. i know they contacted the parents in exchange for both money and for hostage, but the administration has certainly tried in regards to that as well as our office. my chief of staff actually went to the syrian refugee camp over the turkey side from kobani trying to make some head way. but it's very very difficult situations in that area. >> now you have sponsored a bill to put up money for information

about isis captures and kidnappings more specifically. what would that achieve? >> what this does is it amends a current law within the state department that allows $5 million to go to individuals that intercede and help us apprehend, bring to justice those that kidnap and kill americans. so what this basically does the measure passed unanimously in the senate in 2014. there's a current bill being sponsored in the senate as we speak. >> right. >> this will actually give some resources to some folks to actually help us from the ground from the other side trying to hold people accountable for their actions against americans. >> here's the hard question. there's a double standard here with respect to what the government does with terrorists when they take people of value, and everyone has value, but there seems to be a sliding scale. you do not negotiate with terrorists unless it's a soldier and then you have the no man gets left behind thing that allows you to escape that and you wind up cutting a deal for

someone like bo bergdahl and release terrorists into the wild. citizens normal people don't get that. do you think that families like the mule letters shouldellers should be able to negotiate and do what they want to get back their loved one even if the government doesn't like that? >> i think we've had a double standard with the bo birgergdahl case. >> it has been done in the past as well. this is the freshest example. it's been done. other republicans have also done it. it's not a partisan thing, but it's the question of citizens versus military and families who are desperate, why should we limit their resources? that's the question. >> well i think when you're going overseas you're at risk in regards to utilizing our state department in regards to that aspect and i think that that puts the united states and its security at risk so from that stand point i think that it

comes all underneath the state department and their attributes and having a consistent policy chris. >> not a great record as we know congressman. that's not necessarily the government's fault. you're dealing with some of the worst people in the world when it comes to daesh. i think about this and i'm sure you do god forbid it's your kid and she goes over there and she wants to do good work to help people that are oppressed and she gets taken. you get told by a government that doesn't always do things the right way, or effectively, no no i'm sorry, you can't fight for them. if you have the means, you just have to wait and see what happens. tough to swallow. >> tough to swallow especially when they ask for ransoms $5 million and then to have a neuroscientist in exchange. but the federal government -- or the government did actually try to intercede on behalf of her in minsk where they thought she was and they've been moving the captives. they've been trying in that regards but with poor human

resources in that syrian area it is very very tough particularly when you're dealing with people that don't follow traditional applications of warfare or actually applications of humanity. here's a young lady trying to help people in suffering in a war torn area. that's the saddest part of the whole story. >> she went there for all the right reasons. she's been taken for all the wrong reasons. we know exactly who the bad guys are. nobody wants to help them in any way, whether it's ransom or anything else. it is such an impossible situation. please send our best to the family and let them know we're here to get out any information they think is relevant. >> chris, thank you. make sure that america prays for the mueller family and for kayla. >> thank you for putting that out there, congressman. appreciate you being on "new day." >> yeah we certainly have our prayers. another state reporting the case of measles within their borders. how widespread is the outbreak this morning and what is the cdc doing to slow it down? we'll ask the head of the cdc about what's going on. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about?

the measles outbreak growing. georgia officials reporting their first case of the disease. according to the cdc there are 121 cases of measles in 17 different states. california alone estimates it has 107 cases. let's bring in the director for the centers for disease control, dr. thomas frieden. thanks for being on "new day." >> good morning. >> we've read u.s. measles cases have risen 18.6% this week. are authorities close to getting a handle on this outbreak? >> what we're seeing is a global trend. more measles around the world. people travel and visit other

countries and come here. that results in measles cases here here. one of them was in a large amish country in ohio. that resulted in 400 cases. every one of the cases involves an intensive follow up from the health department. the vaccine is highly effective and taking it not only protects your own kid, it also protects the baby next door or the kid down the block. >> figure out how exactly this outbreak started. we know it started at disneyland. do we know who was sort of patient zero? >> we don't yet know exactly where the disneyland outbreak started. we do know that the strain of measles is the same strain that we saw causing a very large outbreak in the philippines a couple of years ago. that outbreak has now spread to at least 14 countries. >> we have a map here of people

in the united states. well actually this is california where the outbreak is highest who are exercising their exemption, their medical or their philosophical exemption to being vaccinated. you can see it there if we put it up there are pockets of red. often people say this is the hollywood elite. you can see that it's all basically throughout california, north, central, and southern. dr. frieden, have you had a chance to talk directly to any of the families who are exercising their filly solve call exemptions? >> what i think is really important to understand is there's a difference between a medical exemption, a child who has leukemia or an organ transplantation and can't safely get the measles vaccine and someone who says i don't want it because i'm concerned. obviously it's okay if parents have concerns to explore those concerns but let's be very clear, study after study shows that there are no long-term negative consequences of the measles vaccine.

on the other hand measles itself the disease, can be fatal and in kids who are hospitalized can result in long-term complications. so i think many parents thought that measles was a thing of the past but unless we increase our vaccination rates it could be a thing of the future as well. >> the reason that i'm asking about whether or not you've ever spoken to these families is because there's this new pew public opinion poll and it shows how people are feeling about the safety of vaccines. let me put it up for you. 83% of the general public responded that they believe they're safe. 9% believe they're not safe and 7% feel that they don't know. so you don't have to worry about that 83%, but somehow you need to get your message to the 9% and the 7% and if you speak directly to them perhaps you could hear what it is that's holding them back from wanting to vaccinate their children. >> so our immunization program has done in depth studies with parents, with doctors, with others. what we find is that the vast

majority of the people who are choosing not to vaccinate their kids aren't the hard core definitely don't want to get a vaccine people they're folks who just may not recognize, one, that measles is still here two, that it can be very serious, and, three, that by not vaccinating they're not just putting their own kid at risk they're putting other kids and other vulnerable people in their neighborhood and community at risk. >> the senate committee on health is meeting 1:20 from now. what do you want lawmakers to do? >> i think it's important that we get the facts and we state those clearly. measles can be a serious disease. the measles vaccine is safe and effective. and parents who opt not to vaccinate need to understand the implications not just for their own kid but for other kids and other vulnerable people in their community. you know i began at cdc in 1990 and the very first

outbreak i investigated was of measles. a very large measles outbreak that in 1989 '90, '91 resulted in tens of thousands of cases of measles in this country and led to the passage of something called the vaccines for children act or vfc which is run by cdc and provides half of all the childhood vaccines in this country. since that law was passed there are no more inequalities between vaccine rates, between rich and poor white, black, hispanic because we recognize that we're aisle in it together. we're all connected. measles spreading in europe africa asia measles spreading in california may affect us. that's why it's important to get vaccinated. that's why it's important also that we care about increasing vaccine rates around the world. >> okay. dr. thomas frieden, thanks for all the information. thanks for being on "new day." >> thank you. >> chris. alisyn thank you. we want to thank you for the special on "american sniper."

locker made 17 million because it was a little ambiguous and thoughtful. this one is just american hero. he's a psycho path patriot and we love him. >> that's talk show host bill moore. he's one critic of "american sniper" criticizing that it didn't give an accurate picture of the war and chris kyle. the film has resonated around the country. we did a story on it "blockbuster the story of american sniper." we spoke to three people including his brother jeff. here is their take about the reality, the film and the criticism. >> those people are always -- there's always going to be naysayers out there. it doesn't matter who it is. doesn't be matter if it's chris or if it's somebody else they are always going to say something derogatory about somebody else so you know we

did what we did for them to be able to -- >> right. >> -- talk their trash so you're welcome. >> you're over there doing the mission. this is what you're told to do. nobody asked you if you want to do the mission when you volunteered. nobody asked you to discuss the merits of the mission. do you think that's lost a little bit in this. when people criticize the war, why we got in it why we did it wind up putting the target on the fighting men and women for that criticism? >> i think that's absolutely the case. if you watched "american sniper" and you saw a political commentary on the iraq war or you saw a failed study on the intel surrounding the weapons of mass destruction, you were not seeing what most of america's warriors saw, and that is like a window into the heart of the modern american wearar fighter. it focuses on the battlefield and the war at home. it's critical for people to understand what it's like for jeff and i and chris to come home. >> scott, do you think this is a pro war movie, anti-war movie?

what is the message? >> well what i like about it is the fact that you can't really tell and it's just reality. and that's what clinlt and bradley and jason hall did such a good job of with it. you leave it for what it is because it's the truth. it tells the truth about the american experience and the soldiers' experience. i wouldn't categorize it as anything more than to say that if you're going to send our men and women to battle in foreign lands, then you better expect that there's going to be casualties taken and you better give them the resources to fight and win the wars. >> you have to be real with perspective on it, mahr is doing what he does going with hyperbole and outrage. psycho path is not just inaccurate but it's certainly insensitive. let's focus on chris's own words. put up the quote of what chris had said that got him blow back. i want some context from those that knew him. this is obviously about the number of kills. the number is not important to me. i only wish i had killed more

not for bragging rights but because i believe the world is a better place without savages out there taking american lives. now, how can people take that? they can take that as you think all iraqis are savages. you see, he's a bigot. do you think that's a fair reckoning of the statement? >> no. no. i mean it doesn't matter where you're at what war you're in yes, our era, they were iraqis or afghanis. so yes, you have to have a certain hate for those people because they're trying to kill you. if you don't have that certain hatred for them you're not going to come home. any other war, the vietnam war, those men over there, they had a hatred for the vietnamese and they had to. you know that's just what we do. >> exactly. and i don't think chris was referring to the iraqi people there, i think he was referring to the enemy that we faced. look they are. when i was in afghanistan, jeff was deployed to iraq we fought against an enemy that threw grenades in the cradle of newborn babies. we fought against an enemy that

beheaded children that stoned women to death. we fought against an enemy that didn't want women going to school they didn't want women to be educated. this enemy is evil and the world is a better place without them. chris knew and understood that. the interesting thing about chris is that he had the purest form of patriotism and love of country that i've ever seen in my entire life and it was contagious. i think we need more people like that in this nation. >> jeff what message do you think your brother would have wanted to come out of the film? >> i think the message that everybody's received. it wasn't -- it wasn't him in that movie. every parent every brother, every sister can put their sibling or their child in that position and see what they went through while they were in country and then why they were who they were when they came home. you know they weren't their little child anymore when they came home. war changes people. so i think this movie actually it shows that. you know it's not just chris's story, it's every warrior out

there that's ever been in combat that's been in country and then come home. it's all of us. >> it was intense. >> i can imagine. >> to meet jeff kyle and talk to him and what he thought of the movie. it's also timely in that the trial for the alleged killer of chris kyle begins tomorrow. so this is all being taken up in texas. >> i know that you've covered this story a lot more but i'm curious if doing this special and hearing from them directly changed your views on i don't know on him, on the story on the film? >> well i saw the movie a day before we met these guys and i wanted to know what -- if it was an accurate representation of chris kyle because he's so in some ways appealing in the movie. you know he's so humble and he's modest yet he's a hero. i was happy to meet jeff. it depicted his brother accurately. >> to me it was what his brother was saying how important it is to remember the men and women that go over and

are often forgotten. we ask the ultimate sacrifice from them and their families and they're mostly forgotten when they come back. that's what i love what was forgotten in the film. >> too often caught in the conversation of whether iraq was the right move or not. >> war is brutal. >> whether you've been an imbed or you've covered the war once or 100 times, they're doing the job that they were told to do. zero discretion. one of the big things that comes out of the special is some of the hardest battles are getting home and calling it post traumatic. they don't like calling it ptsd a disorder. that's a barrier. that's something that's underserved here. >> that's what i mean about being forgotten. >> everybody involved with the film. so let us know what you think. >> you can tweet us at "new day" or go to facebook.com/new day and continue the conversation. coming up we put our money where our mouths are for the warriors. beast mode for the brave challenge. here's a hint.
