minnesota? >> reporter: this new propaganda video reaches beyond the african borders, targeting the west threatening westgate-style mall attacks in the u.s., canada and the u.k. >> this is a drill. mall of america is now going into lockdown. >> reporter: the mall of america already has extensive security to protect more than 40 million annual visitors. today they're adding new safety measures saying "we take any potential threat seriously." the west edmonton mall in alberta, canada is also increasing security. even as u.s. counterterrorism officials say there's no indication of an actual threat. the fbi thinks al shabaab is trying to use propaganda like isis and al qaeda to inspire new jihadists. the somalia-based militants recruit heavily in minneapolis, home to the largest somali population in the u.s. >> we are still losing them. it's a terrorist hotbed in the midwest in the united states it is. >> reporter: cnn's been investigating terrorist

concerns. mr. abbott says the government review found that the country has entered a "long-term era of hatened terrorism threat." this comes after a terrorist siege at a sydney cafe become in december. you may remember that left two hostages dead. mr. abbott says parts of this measure are meant to slow foreign fighters from traveling abroad. >> already at least 110 australians have traveled overseas to join the death cult in iraq and syria. at least 20 of them so far are dead. even if the flow of foreign fires to syria and iraq stopped today, there's now an australian cohort of hardened jihadists who are intent on radicalizing and influencing others. >> the review also found australia is currently investigating over 400 high-priority counterterror

cases. a number that's actually doubled from a year ago. rosemary? iraq's defense minister is criticizing the united states for proposing a timetable for retaking mosul from isis. he think the u.s. is basically showing its happen to the enemy. isis used captive kurdish soldiers in a newly released video aimed at getting other kurds to lay down their weapons. even though they are often outgunned, these peshmerga fighters are holding off the isis advance. senior international correspondent ben wedeman report from erbil. >> reporter: isis has put out yet another propaganda video. this one appears aimed at breaking the morale of the peshmerga, the kurdish fighting force. what you see in this video is 21 men in orange jumpsuits. their hands chained, being led to cages. in those cages they're interviewed by a man with a microphone. on that microphone is the logo of isis.

one of the men says on camera he calls on his comrades to stop fighting on behalf of what he calls the jews and crusade force avoid a fate similar to them. later we see them still in cages on the backs of pickup trucks being paraded through a jeering you'd in what we believe is a city south of kirkuk. during the nine-minute video, you also see flash frames of the beheading, some of the beheadings of the 21 egyptian christians who were killed in libya last week. although in this particular video you do not see any beheadings or executions of the kurdish prisoners. now the situation on the front line somewhat contrasted to that. what we understand is that overnight there was an attempt by isis to break through kurdish lines to the south offer erbil.

50 isis fighters were killed by the peshmerga as well as by coalition air strikes. there was another attempt to break through the kurdish lines in the mountain area near the syrian border to the west of here. in that case kurdish commanders say at least 30 isis fighters were killed. despite the propaganda efforts of isis on the battlefield, it's definitely not looking too bright for the terror organization. i'm ben wedeman, cnn, reporting from erbil. if you're watching from south korea, you may want to stay inside. many in the country being asked to do just that. hazardous yellow dust is covering much of the country. going show new video coming in showing the smog in seoul. toxic wind blew in from china. just blanketing the capital city and surrounding areas, as well. the dust is so bad it's prompted meteorologists to issue health warnings. earlier we spoke to our paula

hancocks who's there in seoul. >> reporter: there's lame to what -- a tloimt what south korea can do. it's coming from the deserts in mongolia northern china. blowing over here. if the winds like today are not particularly high, then it takes some time to clear. this came over the weekend. it's now monday morning local time. it's taken a couple of years to get here. the meteorological agency said it could be later today, even tuesday in areas before it starts to clear. what they need? some hefty wind to try and clear this away. there's really very little that south korea can do locally. this isn't like locally created pollution that they can try and cut down. there's simply nothing they can do. they simple have to warn the citizens to be careful when they're going outside. >> we'll have more that in a moment. but another round of brutal winter weather is hitting more than half the united states from minnesota to massachusetts.

arctic wind will make it tough to head outside. and you you can see drivers in colorado already having trouble with the icy roads there. even parts of texas will be covered with ice. sleet is expected in the dulles/ft. worth area, and right now more than 500 flights are canceled out of the airport. >> crazy weather. >> horrible looking. >> canceled flights. pedram javaheri our meteorologist, here for that. and the bad air quality in seoul is -- it's dangerous, as well. >> it is. it happens every spring. you know back in 2009 actually the seoul city government invested some $50,000 plant trees in western auto -- inner portion of mongolia, west of beijing there. they planted some 72,000 trees just to inhibit things -- just to prohibit things like this from happening. they're trying to do as much as possible. if the storms are strong enough, it's a lot of sand to not displace. the satellite does a good job of showing us from space what we saw earlier on sunday. look at the perspective.

east of beijing, you see the brownish color there. that is the sand that has been displaced. of course one of the worst -- easily the worst of the year. one of the worst in a half decade as far as the amount of sand that was displaced with these powerful winds. of course the sand is now aloft. it's moving over the region. the zind calmed down. the concern is that the particulate matter is quite high. 500 in this scale puts it in the hazardous category. 445 is where we sat for the better part of the day. you need a weather pattern to displace it. notice the arrow coming east, that's the problem there. the winds coming from the westerly direction put everything in place. they will reverse in the coming days notice the storm system trying to pick up north of beijing. by wednesday we could be looking at that particular weathermaker to push it in toward seoul. if that happens, we think boy themitted to latter portion -- think by the middle to latter portion of the week there will be more air quality concerns. look across areas of the united

states. 65 million people dealing with windchills 30 to 40 below zero chicago to detroit. working toward the eastern half of the you see. of course this -- of the united states. of course this is the fifth time we've had snowfall or brutally cold temperatures. windchill this hour, ten below in springfield. 15 below in chicago. minus 25 is the name of the game out of minneapolis. working to the eastern side of the united states windchills around the freezing mark to just a few degrees below that. certainly the cold air has yet to make it in place. high temperatures today, the best chicago and detroit can do around 12. atlanta 48. should be into the 40s in and around houston. you see where the air is expected to move heading into monday there. the eastern half of the country delling with this. we have wintry storm in place, as well across the southern portion of the u.s. you guys touched on the 500 cancelations out of dallas' airport. about 1,000 canceled in the united states. half are coming from one particular airport. so if you're traveling to the southern parts of the u.s.

especially texas, it's going to be a mess. >> we're counseling down to spring here. when are we going to see signs of that? >> gosh by the end of the week for the fifth nightmare about five weeks -- for the first time in about five weeks, temperatures will be close to normal. >> close to normal? >> we'll take it at this point. >> a low bar. >> thanks a lot. see you soon. the families of three teenaged girls believed to be headed to syria are pleading for them to come back home. we will look at the new concerns that they may be trying to join isis. plus why fans of comedian bill cosby will have an even harder time seeing him on tour this year. throughout the hour we will show you some of the best and more interesting highlights from the oscars including the moment several stars in the audience were in tears.

welcome back everyone. in about an be hour from now, hsbc will present its earnings report for 2014 under the should a of scandal. >> analysts expect the global banking giant to fill a heavy im-- to feel a heavy impact from regulatory cost pressures and falling growth in emerging marks. >> the geneva-based bank is also under intense scrutiny after allegations it helped clients

dodge tax lie concealing tens of billions of dollars in swiss accounts. the public prosecutor in geneva has said the investigation could extend to individuals. greeks are coming off a weekend marking the end of carnivale. and many are no doubt talking about the deal struck with eurozone nations. >> that agreement reached friday gives greece a four-month extension on the eurozone economic bailout plan. cnn has been getting reaction to the plan from greeks as you see on the screens and joins us from athens this morning. linda, good morning to you. what have folks been telling you about their thoughts about this extension? >> reporter: first of all, people are trying to take a break and a distance from what's been happening. as we understand the debates and discussions have been going on for weeks. so luckily we have this holiday weekend to reconsider what's

taking place. the truth is that the final text the final details of what this four months will entail are not yet clear to us. the reforms list is going to be submitted to brussels today. then it will have to be approved there. for the time being, people have been quite cautious about when they're saying. they're certainly hoping that a solution will be found, and what they're stressing is what greece sneeds an end to the uncertainty. we went to many places around greece over the weekend and spoke to people there. let's take a license. >> carnivale, a time of celebration in greece. a break from everyday worries, and a chance to forget the country's troubles. for this man, carnivale is a time of cashing in. when the mask comes off, it reveals the uncertainty of life in greece. >> life in greece is a lot like juggling actually.

it's strange to be living here for the past five years. like we've been living the same day every year for five years now. it's a day that you switch on the tv and hear the news that oh we're about to get bunkered. we hope that reforms will take place. and maybe this is the last chance that we have. >> reporter: tourism is crucial to the greek economy. none more so than on the island of mikanos. he's luxury hotel owners describe running a business under the current circumstances. >> we need a permanent and stable solution so the investors will come back to greece. so we can plan our own businesses how we will manage to run them. we have to know what will be the environment, the taxes because now the economy's frozen. for example, i want to billion a new hotel and i don't know what will happen next month.

so this makes us stop everything and wait. we cannot hold our breath forever. >> reporter: on the famous athens street, renowned for its high-end boutiques and shops, you will find few people looking and even fewer buying. the greek economy is in dire straits. the government appears to have been given some breathing space. but is this a question of simply kicking the can down the road or is it truly a first step to recovery? senior political and financial analysts say now is the time to start addressing the make or break issue. debt relief. >> we will again in four months be talking about tough negotiations between greece and the eurozone about how to progress. that's the big question mark hanging over the deal because it leaves it just short of when

greece has to repay the european central bank almost seven billion euros in the summer and with no clear picture about how to move forward here and if it will be debt relief. >> reporter: hopes and fears, a juggling act as greece and europe consider their next moves. you see it's very much exactly that a juggling act. that's how people feel a balancing act, a need for a sense of stability. as we heard from the analysts there, it's going to be months before we know if anything is going to come out of this extension and whether greece will be able to continue in the path of reforms from within the eurozone. >> yep. certainly for the greeks the more things change apparently the more thing stay the same. we'll connect with you throughout the day to get more reaction. joining us live from athens thanks. we'll take a short break now. still to come what would make a

u.s. senator say he was ashame of his country and his president? you will hear the comments for yourself coming up. and you can say this was one of the more bizarre moments from last night's oscar ceremony wrapped up a few hours ago. the highlights coming up.

some fans of comedian bill cosby will not be able to see his current tour. that's because three performances were canceled this month. the fourth date is currently postponed. two of the shows were canceled with no explanation. a boston show was canceled due to weather concerns. >> cosby's tour which began last fall has also seen some venues canceled -- cancel his performances. the performer has been under intense scrutiny since over two dozen women accused the comedian of sexual abuse. cosby denies the allegations. right now another u.s. journalist is under fire for allegedly fabricating a story. seven former colleagues who were with fox news anchor bill o'reilly during a 1982 riot in argentina doubt his depict of buenos aires as a war zone. they also challenge his description of a cbs cameraman being injured in the chaos there.

former cbs correspondent eric enberg spoke with us earlier. >> is bill o'reilly lying when he describes the combat situation? >> well i think that what he's doing is he's trying to build it up into a more frightening and deadly situation than it was. it wasn't a combat situation by any sense of the word that i know. there were no people killed. he said that he saw troops fire into the crowd. i never saw this, and i don't know anybody who did. and i was there on the scene. >> the one thing i am going to argue about, the thing that's got me talking about this is that in one of those tapes -- you haven't played it -- >> i think i know what one you're going to refer to. let me play a couple of signed bites. >> go ahead and play that. >> this is from the hamptons in 2009. >> when the argentines surrendered to the british, there were riots in the streets of buenos aires. i write about this in my novel

"those who trespass." and i was out there pretty much boy myself because the other cbs news correspondents were hiding in the hotel. i said, why are you -- you got to get out and cover the story which i did. >> eric that was the first time -- i wanted you to react. he says nobody was out there that night. you're a corn who says you were -- -- a correspondent who says you were. >> what he said is a fabrication fabrication, a lie. there were five cbs news correspondents including him assigned to that bureau. he sent all five of the correspondents and all ten or 12 of the camera crew members out into the street nobody stayed in their hotel room because they were afraid. we were all working. and we saw what looked -- what was a moderate sized riot. it was a couple of thousand people attacking the casa rosata or area around the casa rosata boyfriending their arms by -- by waving their arm by clapping and singing songs. nobody attacked the soldiers.

nobody attacked the police. there were no -- there was nobody lying on the ground when it was over that i saw. >> we should note that bill o'reilly firmly defends all of his claims. there's a lot of attention because nbc nightlynize anchor, brian williams was recently spin on after it came to light he misrepresented events. he was covering the iraq war in 2003. former new york mayor rudy giuliani is backing away somewhat from comments he made last week questioning u.s. president barack obama's love of america. in an op-ed piece in the "wall street journal," giuliani offered a mea culpa for the bluntness of his language. and he said his problem is really with president obama's policies. giuliani writes and i'm quoting, "when asked last week whether i thought the president of a patriot, i said i did and would repeat that. i bear him no ill will and, in fact think that his personal

journey is inspiring and a testament to much of what makes this country great." u.s. republican senator and proud war veteran john mccain says he's ashamed of his country right now. speaking on cbs' "face the nation," mccain said the situation when ukraine is deteriorating. and the u.s. needs to supply weapons to help the country defend itself against russia. take a listen. >> the ukrainians aren't asking for american boots on the ground. that's not the question here. they're asking for weapons to defend themselves. and they're being slaughtered. and the army military is being shattered. this is a shameful chapter. i'm ashamed of my country. i'm ashamed of my president. and i'm ashamed of myself that i haven't done more to help these people. it is really really heartbreaking. >> mccain went on to say russia would continue its aggression for as long as it can get away with it. more on ukraine up ahead as

it marks the anniversary of the uprising that changed everything. a peaceful protest is met with tragedy coming up. plus, after three british teens ran away to turkey, their families are imploreing them to turn back now. this as police are afraid they might be trying to join isis. and actress lupita nyong' did o turned heads in a dress made of pearls. sir, we're going to need you on the runway later don't let a severe cold hold you back. get theraflu. it has the power of three medicines to take on your worst pain and fever, cough and nasal congestion. theraflu breaks you free from your toughest cold and flu symptoms. so you never miss a day. theraflu. serious power.

something else going on in sunday morning. i don't know if you've ever done something like this. you might have done this inside a closed door venue. downtown minneapolis, a minnesota setup here. this is snow-ga. the snow classes -- yoga classes in the snow. they were not breaking a sweat. the windchill about 20 below. icy conditions out there. all for a good cause. >> looks bizarre. how do you not stay stiff? >> exactly. the turnout was pretty good. they call people in minneapolis, and everyone -- a lot of people saying all right, we'll do it. >> it might catch on. snow-ga. i love it. >> thanks. hollywood's biggest night is now in the books. coming up next we'll look at the major moments from the 87th academy awards including who won the tough oscars.

doug, we have the results, but first, we have a very special guest. come on out, flo! [house band playing]

you have anything to say to flo? nah, i'll just let the results do the talking. [crowd booing] well, he can do that. we show our progressive direct rate and the rates of our competitors even if progressive isn't the lowest. it looks like progressive is not the lowest! ohhhh! when we return we'll find out whether doug is the father. wait, what? right the wrongs in history. ♪ one day with the glory comes ♪ ♪ it will be ours. it will be ours ♪ ♪ oh glory ♪ >> one of the most powerful moments from the oscars there. singers common and john legend with a moving performance of "glory." this is the theme song for the film "selma." this brought the audience to

their feet. it moved some of the actors to tears. just minutes later, the pair picked up the skor for best original -- the oscar for best original song. >> very powerful. for more on other major moments from the 87th academy awards, let's bring in film commentator richard fitzwilliams. he joins us from london. and richard, when we last spoke you predicted best picture would go to "birdman" or "boyhood." "birdman" took it home. was that the right choice in your opinion? >> well it was extremely exciting. terribly close call. i think both films were superb. "birdman" of a landmark movie because of the way it was filmed. also it was about the difficulties the idiosyncrasies of the craft. i think that appealed to a great number of the voters. picked up momentum in the last

month. prior to that, "birdman" had been -- "boyhood" had been the favorite. it was exciting. the fact we didn't know which would win added tremendous three the evening's entertainment. there's little doubt alexander gonzalez in the third part he a very deserved winner of the best director. some of us would have preferred richard linklighter win something for "boyhood," followed a student through adolescents to adulthood. >> beyond those all of the movies were incredible. what were the highlights do you think? what will we all be talking about in the hours ahead? >> there's no doubt it was a memorable evening at the oscars.

the passionate speeches, this is what i will remember most particularly patricia arquette. i mean, her winning for best supporting actress for "boyhood." her strong views on the inequalities that women face. i mean this really really socked it home. also shows a relevance of various films because actors benedict cumberbatch of course didn't win, but eddie redmayne was able to speak for those who were unwell and disadvantaged when he won best actor for the "the theory of everything." and julianne moore did the same for alzheimer's when she picked up best actress for "still alice" which was predicted. also the academy undowdily felt guilty about the -- undoubtedly felt guilty about the grievous miss of "selma" and who would have been the first african-american female director if nominated. there's no doubt that that emotional moment of john legend

with the song "glory," it brought the audience to their feet. also it's one of those moments that makes the oscar so worthwhile because it's linked to a civil rights group. we pay tribute to what happened 50 years ago, but it's still got a great deal to say to us. and there are passages in some of the speeches, too, that are relevant mexican immigrants, their contribution. that was highlighted, too. >> a lot are trending in social media. we'll hear in the coming hours what people are saying. many thanks to you, richard fitzwilliams for joining us. appreciate it. >> it's a pleasure. now we know who the big oscar winners were when it came to the movies. another topic people talk about, who won on the red carpet. >> here's a look at some of the night's fashions. ♪
