police killed a suspect during a shootout a few hours ago. officers tried to approach the man at a residence they were watching on this street when he then opened fire. investigators also believe there's nothing to indicate more than one person carried out this shooting. the shooting outside of the synagogue early on sunday morning. one man died there, and two officers were wounded. ten hours before that the attacker killed a man at a free speech forum attended bay cartoonist on al qaeda's hit list. investigators have been treating this incident as a terror attack. for more, we want to go straight to suzanne. she's a producer for cnn copenhagen. she is joining us live by the phone. if you can tell us what you are hearing on the ground as far as the suspect they have shot. >> reporter: hi there. we don't know a lot yet. they are not speaking very much about this except what they told

us is they believe the man who was shot was also the man in the images that we have been looking at. he is the suspected shooter who have been been following on video surveillance since he left the scene of the first shooting earlier toechld right now we know he was shot and killed by police after opening fire on them in one of the main train stations here in cope cannen haguen which was closed down earlier in the night. basically -- the person who carried out both of these shootings and there's no reason to believe there are others involved but obviously that's part of the investigation is what police are telling us at this point. that's about the latest from here. >> certainly there's an intense manhunt for the person behind

these shootings. did police ever tell people to stay off the streets, and if that was the case are people allowed back on the streets now? >> yes. i mean people have always been on the streets. they did -- they said the city is not safe. the inner city is not safe and they advise people to stay at home. that changed at a later press conference when they wanted to reiterate there is no ban on people moving about in the street. but obviously with caution and stay away from areas cordoned off by police. overnight police were moving in various directions across the city and we didn't have any idea what they were doing. now when we know they were following the trace of this video surveillance they were with finding. that was the locations they kept

following. they have been tracing this guy through video surveillance since early this morning basically. >> susanne, please reiterate, police believe this is the person behind both incidents at the synagogue and free speech forum, right? >> yes. there is one person killed at the first incident. he's believed to be the man who shot through the windows and injured and killed one person and also believed to be the one that shot at the synagogue where one young man was standing guard outside of the synagogue with, was with standing and also two police officers who the synagogue had actually asked for extra support down there after the first attack in concern of an attack on the synagogue. so they were all there at the site. he's believed to be the one that shot there. >> cnn susanne gargiulo with the

latest on the attacks. a cartoonist on al qaeda's wanted dead or alive list. they say he committed crimes against islam after drawing the proeft mohammad with a dog's body in 2007. after the first attack cnn spoke to terrorism analyst paul crook shank and he said even before we had word there would be a second incident he expected there would be nor violence in denmark. >> this was an islamist terror attack. connections to groups overseas or lone wolves inspired by isis or al qaeda. isis and al qaeda, ever since the "charlie hebdo" attacks a month ago in paris they have been putting out a message

launch attack against those who insult the prophet muhammad 0. a swedish cartoonist in depicted prophet muhammad as a dog. ever since then they have had him on a hit list. in 2007 the then leader of isis ail abu bakr al-baghdadi put out a bounty on his life with $50,000 bonus if his throat were slit. he's been a target for many years from these jihadis. >> a developing situation there in denmark as we will follow and bring you the latest on cnn. switching to ukraine, a fragile cease fire there seems to be holding. our cnn team on the ground said a tense quiet settled in on the region despite reportedly viegss early on and mistrust on both sides. the truce aims to end a

year-long violence dwon between government forces and pro-russian militants. it took marathon talks last week to try to get the peace deal signed. our nick peyton walsh is in done nesk where he said the atmosphere has undergone a change. >> at midnight there were 40 or 50 explosions. just after midnight, it is a remarkable change in the atmosphere frankly here. one that people didn't really expect. we are hearing suggestions there have been minor cease fire violations around the area. many are hoping this may stick.

that is a long shot. the head of the cease fire was unwelcoming towards it. the russian foreign minister suggested they were using logic to discourt contents of the agreements. casualties inflicted on civilians and ukrainian government areas were held by the ukrainian president perhaps a reason why the accord couldn't stick. they were clear they felt the civilian casualties caused by shellings here would make it hard to see a cease fire through. we have to wait and see how and if it lasts. at this stage there is a quiet that wasn't expected. there's a big unanswer aed question. hundreds of thousands of ukrainian troops separatists claim in their territory and

believe the agreement actually said but that situation volatile. it could be the thing that derails this cease fire. for now at this age is there is a tonal change in how the conflict is. cnn, donetsk. in washington the state department says it has credible evidence that russia's military launched ar till ary in to eastern ukraine. they says the photos show it was russian military an not separatists. the shelling was before the cease fire agreement. let's go to moscow. erin any response to this evidence that is presented by the united states? >> hi, george, not at the moment. though it was a topic of conversation in a phone call that took place yesterday between u.s. secretary of state john kerry, as well as russian

foreign minister sergei lavrov. according to the state dmpt that conversation kerry expressed concerns about apparent russian and separatist efforts to continue to attack the strategic city in the hours leading up to the cease fire. on friday state department officials allege that russian weapon systems had moved in to the area and yesterday u.s. officials tweeting with out satellite imagery that they say was evidence of that. again, we have yet to hear from russian officials on those direct allegations. in the past, russia called on the west and the united states for concrete evidence of the direct involvement in the conflict. which is something it has denied. >> now on the table it will be

interesting. the question certainly mistrust on both sides of this conflict. from what you are hearing in moscow does russia want the cease fire to succeed? >> it is difficult to say what the kremlin is thinking at any given time but western diplomates as well as kremlin watchers have said the kremlin has actually several key reasons to be satisfied with the current agreement as it stands now. some say it effectively rules ukraine out from joining western institutions such as nato and the european union. it doesn't stop moscow from meddling. and prevents russia from facing more sanctions. so called normandy four that consists will have a phone conversation that according to russian media reports.

that conversation leaders are expected to discuss ways to implement the cease fire. >> we appreciate your reporting there. the news continues here on cnn. an iraqi tribal leader says isis militants are gaining ground in the country's anbar province. moving closer to bases where u.s. troops are training iraqi forces. we have a live report ahead. a blockbuster blizzard threatens to hit the u.s. northeast as snowfall in some cities is already hitting records. we'll have more on that here on cnn.

we turn to phil. we want to ask you, do you think officials on the ground are heeding the warning of this sunni tribal leader? >> it's unclear what they could do even if they were doing so. the military crisis in the west of the country in anbar province is certainly very serious. isis continues to make ground. the iraqi army backed up by sunni tribal militias. they are not able to contain them. at the same time the country is plunged in to a political crisis. in the capital baghdad, a group of sunni iraqis iraqi media says as many as 12 have been murdered. their bodies dumped. among their number a sunni tribal leader. as a direct response to this the country's leading political blocs suspended their involvement in the parliament and the government as well. remember this is a country where sectarian tengs are incredibly intense.

the previous government the shiite-led government was accused of persecuting this sunni minority. the current government is attempting to run a more inclusive government. to reach out to the sun gnu minority but it is a difficult job and more difficult by the presence of shiite militias. what the government calls popular mobile units to draft civilians to help deal with the isis threat mostly because of the performance of the iraqi military. on the battlefield, the shiite militia have performed well with. they are also accused of carrying out atrocities against the sunni population of the country and increasingly carrying them out with impunity. with the latest killing in the capital baghdad, this group of sunni iraqis the shadow of blame certainly from the sunni population the sunni political leadership very much hangs over the shiite ma establishilitias and

they believe the government is not doing enough to pull these shiite militia in to line to curb their excesses and punish them as well. the iraqi government said it will investigate the latest mass killing in the capital. >> this sunni tribal leader certainly also calling for u.s. intervention. how popular would you say is that notion there on the ground to get the united states more involved in the fight against isis? >> i think it depends what part of iraq and who you are talking to. the answers could vary significantly. here in the north of the country, kurdish dominate. they want practical assistants like weapons. in the rest of the country,

particularly where feelings are raw, following the u.s. occupation of iraq where the sense this country's sovereignty has been tore apart and abused in so many ways over a long period of time it would be far less popular. not something the iraqi government wants to see. at the same time something we have heard from the united states its government doesn't want to get involved in another prolonged ground offensive in iraq as well. those sunni leaders are echoing in a sense what the peshmerga are saying. it ties in. the belief of these sunni leaders and militants who are strongly involved against isis in anbar, they feel they are not getting help or weapons from the government or the international community. the shiite militia are getting funding and weaponry and so forth and more support.

that all adds to the great sense of sectarian distrust that keeps this country poised on the edge of political crisis, as well as military crisis. >> we appreciate your reporting there. on to london a man in custody for what u.k. police say are terror offenses. the 38-year-old was arrested on saturday in east london on suspicion of being a member or supporter of isis. this is days after two women were arrested in birmingham for terror-related activities. last summer the united kingdom raised the terror threat to severe. that's the second highest level. still to come here on cnn, get the shovels ready. residents in the northeastern part of the united states brace themselves for even more snowfall. it's coming this weekend. more on that and i'm sure people may not want to hear the facts, but they are there.

if you live in the northeast brace yourself. boston has seen 210 centimeters of snowfall this season. making it boston's seventh snowiest season on record and looks like things are not letting up.

threats movie more blizzards are coming. pittsburgh pennsylvania is also bearing the brunt of having a lot of snow on the ground. let's go to cristina in the middle of not a pleasant situation. we'll keep it short and sweet, but tell us what you see there. thank you for being out there, by the way. >> you are welcome. the records you mentioned aren't the only ones. it's official this morning, this is boston's snowiest month on record. it beat the previous record set in 2005. the snow keeps coming. the condition cans this morning have been getting worse and worse. i woke up two hours ago, there were cars on this road. now there is no one around and looks like the plow hasn't been through in an hour or so. here the conditions aren't very good at all. everything i have been hearing from the national weather service says it's going to get

worse. the story here in boston is so much bigger than this one blizzard alone. this city has been pounded by four storms in as many weeks. and it's really taking a toll. not just on digging out and infrastructure but on the city's small businesses. >> boston workers have plowed 250,000 miles of road, used 72,000 tons of salt and these two melters melted 60,000 tons of snow since thursday. more than a foot of snow is on the way. boston's mass transit shut down on sunday. as for driving, the massachusetts governor issued a warning -- >> if you don't have to be out, we'd urge you to stay in. >> reporter: a good message for safety. bad for business. at lulu's sweet shop valentine's day should have boosted sales. instead they are down by a half. >> all of our baked goods are homemade fresh every day.

so we have had a lot of loss. >> reporter: the governor is trying to help by proclaiming it a valentine's week but the damage is done at small businesses like alba pasta and produce. >> tighten the belt, watch what you are spending and spend wisely if you don't know what tomorrow brings. >> reporter: in boston's north end where streets are narrow this coffee shop struggles to get products in to the store. >> snow banks that are five feet tall. it is tough. >> business at this ice bar is also tough but some customers couldn't pass up the irony. >> not to be actively involved in the ice is better than outside. >> reporter: now, today the story will be the snow and also the wind which se national weather service expects to get up to blizzard force wind here. we have had gusts of 22 miles an hour. they are -- all officials are

telling people to stay indoors. if you go outside, make sure you are bundled up because it is frigid out here this morning. >> i hope you have a warm satellite truck or car nearby. i was there in your spot about a week ago. i know it's cold. so thank you for taking a moment to show all of the snow. coming up after the break a pair of deadly shootings in denmark. we will tell you how police tracked down and confronted the suspect. a just ahead, we will take you to eastern ukraine. the guns are quiet, mostly quiet, but can a shaky cease fire remain?

welcome back. police in copenhagen shot and killed a man believed to be the gunman behind two deadly shooting in the city. the attacks left two dead and five wounded. danish police say there's nothing to indicate there's more than one suspect. one man was killed at a free speech forum and another man shot in the head at a sneer by synagogue. peace deal in ukraine seems to be holding up for now. it is a tense quiet at the moment after some minor violations after the truce went in to effect at midnight local time. it was signed last week and intended to end the escalating violence. meanwhile the united states state department says it has

credible evidence that russia's military launched rockets and artillery in to eastern ukraine. the u.s. claims the photos it has on display prove it you russia's military, and not russian separatists. it was before the cease fire took effect. russia's government has not respond to those allegations. iraqi fighters are trying to take back the city of abu bakr al-baghdadi from isis militants. the tribal leader is calling for more u.s. intervention. more on our top story this hour. police in copenhagen say they killed the man behind the attack s that terrorized the city on sunday. officers say they shot and killed him when he tried -- when they approached him and he fired back.

investigators are confident they have the right man. police believe he's responsible for shooting a man to death sunday morning outside a synagogue and wounding two office aers. before that the gunman killed a man. investigators say it was a terror attack. mistrust minor violations and determined hope. day one of the cease fire seems to be holding up. the peace deal comes with questions whether it will stick. 5,000 people have died in this conflict so far between government troops and pro-russian separatists. in ukraine, russian separatists are yards away and fighting ramped up heavily before the cease fire took effect but there is hope the violence will stop there. cnn has this story. >> reporter: this point in time it appears a cease fire seems to be holding but it is very

difficult to say. one thing we have to keep in mind this specific battlefield theater you wouldn't necessarily hear a shelling in the center of town because the front line is quite a distance away from here. on this final day before the cease fire went to place there was some of the heaviest fighting this region has seen. we were talking to one of the battalions here which is affiliated with ukraine's interior ministry a volunteer force that has seen heavy fighting. they say these were some of the worst clashes they have seen in their deployment here. they lost two fighters today. they had 20 wounded. we went to the front lines ourselves to see what was going on and we witnessed constant shelling on the outskirts. here's what happened. as the cease fire inched closer no let up in the violence. a ukraine armored vehicle takes

aim at separatist positions clear by. we're in a village where the shelling is nearly constant. this is the last front line position of the ukrainian army. they tell us the separatests are a thousand yards in this direction and say the separatists tried to overrun the position several times but repelled every time. fathering a last-minute assault, the ukrainian army deployed additional armor to the front line. sometimes hampered old rundown equipment. meanwhile the killing continued. this 58-year-old woman is literally shell shock after a iraq landed next to her house killing a neighbor. she believes it was fired from a ukrainian position. she said we don't need the ukrainian army. we don't need any army. please make them go away from here.

ukraine's army has dug in. local commander said he doesn't believe any truth will hold. we know about this so-called cease fire he said. we have had agreements before. the separatists broken them frequently. we will stick to the agreement and stop the violence coming from their side. deescalation looks and sounds different than what we saw on the eve of the cease fire as people hope the guns will be silent but remain on high alert. you can see there's very little trust apparently in this cease fire. certainly we haven't seen anybody here in this town who has hold told us he actually believes the cease fire will hold for an extended period of time. however, it is of course something people here are clinging to. the people wo have seen and witnessed so much shell ing and violence are hoping that against all odds maybe the cease fire is one that could last. more than 100 protesters

staged a rally in nigeria against postponement of elections there. the group urged citizens to support democracy and demand the running of national elections. the president is seeking re-election against his opponent. in a race that's set to be the closest fought since military dictatorships began in '99 a vote was delayed due to security concerns in the wake of boko haram attacks. a new report from human rights watch says sudanese soldiers believed to have raped more than 200 women and girls. they say it happened over a 36-hour period. sudanese officials are denying the allegation. we must warn you, as you see the story the details and some of the images in this piece are graphic and disturbing. >> reporter: these women are being questioned about allegations of a nightmare. the brutal rape 0 of more than 200 women and even young girls

by soldiers. the accounts are horrific. it reportedly happened in darfur a region in sudan. a bloody conflict has killed hundreds leaving some in dire straits. but they say it constitutes a new low. they allege that soldiers entered their villages looking for one of their own. believing some villagers captured or killed them. soldiers came in to homes beat the men and took them away and in the absence of husbands brothers and friends the soldiers raped the women and girls. they raped my three daughters and me a victim says. two of her daughters are under 11 years old. some were holding the girl down while another was raping her.

they did it one by one. they beat the young children and raped my older daughters. they put clothes in their mouths so you could not hear them screaming. these anonymous accounts are horrifying but many are not talking. human rights watch said it is due to a climate of fear they could face beatings or death. the u.n. peace keeping mission was allowed to investigate just once one and with that there can be no actions against the perpetrators. a point brought up at the security council meeting on thursday. >> the one time they were permitted to reach them intelligence officials refused to let them interview alleged rape victims in private. to this day the government of sudan has shamefully denied the u.n. the ability to properly investigate this incident. >> sudan denys this. >> this statement is being made in a flagrant attempt to level

accusations toward my country. >> because all allegations are unfounded. he's yet to face the international criminal court. there are calls for sanctions and. some kicked out or chosen to leave. it's those left behind whose future remains uncertain. countless who left their homes, some their innocence and many their hope. jessica king cnn. >> certainly a difficult story but important to get the facts out so people can understand what is happening there. south african president gave details on a controversial landownership deal he proposed

earlier this week. he said the proposal would ban foreigners from owning land in the country. the legislation would limit land owned by an individual. that's a move that many believe will anger local farmers. zuma said the bill would be sent to the cabinet for approval soon. the news continues here on cnn. we hear from alabama's chief justice on why he ordered local judges to refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples. plus, plowing ahead. record snowfall slams the northeast yet again in the united states. an update as the news continues. seriously? where do you think you're going? to work, with you. it's taco tuesday. you're not coming. i took mucinex to help get rid of my mucusy congestion. oh, right then i'll swing by in like 4 hours. forget the tacos! one pill lasts 12 hours. i'm good all day. wait! your loss. i was going to wear a sombrero. only mucinex has a bi-layer tablet that starts fast, and keeps working.

not 4, not 6, but 12 full hours. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this.

welcome back. usa federal judge ordered a county court in alabama to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. a rally was held in mobile county on thursday to encourage the county judge to allow gay couples to marry. the federal judge struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage in january. however, some local judges refused to issue licenses because the chief justice of alabama supreme court roy moore ordered them not to. earlier moore explained his views to chris cuomo who has a legal background. fair to say the two had a spirited debate. >> the basic question is the

federal law should rule and it says to the attorney general of your state, allow the marriages to go forward. why are you resisting that? >> because that's not the federal law. what you are confusing is law with an opinion of the justice. that's the basic policy which all of this is built upon. what one lone judge does in alabama, federal court is not law. if it were law the united states supreme court wouldn't be meeting to determine this issue in april through june. >> two things your honor, first, this appeal for a stay went to the supreme court. the stay was denied. that's the supreme court saying follow the district court order which is what is telling the state to allow the maerchs. as you know the history of your state. >> reporter: well with better than i, district courts are often a tool for change let's say with segregation.

if your state hasn't followed district court orders you maybe in a different position legally. your response? >> what you are saying is the judgment was not lifted. it remains in effect and the injunction applies to the attorney general of the state and not the probate courts of alabama. that's the difficulty in this camp by the federal court to control the state of alabama. it is federal intrusion in the state sovereignty. >> when you take the rules of your religion and put them on everybody else that's not what we do in this country. your definition of marriage is based on your faith. you have said it a hundred times that it is derived from god. that's not how it works here, an you know that. equal protection applies to all by compromise and you would need to have a rational basis for why it can only be between a man and woman and all you can say is because god says so. it's always been that way.

it's not enough. >> are you going to let me answer. >> please do. >> okay. i never said that's about my faith or religion. it is not as a matter of fact. it is about the organic law of our country which states, very clearly, that our rights our pursuit of happiness come from god. god gave us that definition and that definition remained in america for many many centuries, two centuries and before that until just recently. i'm just simply saying the people of alabama have a right to put in their institution that marriage is between a man and woman. that doesn't dispute anything. >> it certainly does. >> the question before the court -- the question before the court is whether that definition is constitutional. that's to be taken up by the supreme court in april. >> we'll see what happens. moore says he will continue to

resist efforts to implement station marriage in that state even if the supreme court rules in favor of it later this year. still ahead, it's a race against time to save does ens of whales that are stranded on a beach in new zealand. we will take you inside the desperate rescue efforts ahead.
