12:27 am
move over the same continuous area hour afr an hour. that's when we start to see the rain totals add up in louisville, lexington, and frankfurt. take a look at some of this footage coming out of the area. cars being inundated, roads turned into rivers. unfortunately, there has been one confirmed death from these floods. a vehicle was submerged in a creek near bettiville, kentucky. police reported they had about 100 different water rescues due to the flooding. flooding wasn't the only concern out of the thunderstorms. we had a number of damages with regards to strong winds, hail, and even some reports of tornadoes, especially with this batch of storms moving through about 24 hours ago near news and the kansas area. we had the perfect setup, warm, humid gulf air streaming ahead of much colder air.
12:28 am
when we get the temperature interaction, we have the possibility of severe weather. we still have chances of stronger thunderstorms overnight although the threat is diminishing quickly. we want to highlight if you're located across central louisiana through mississippi and even the eastern sections of tennessee and kentucky, still the chance of strong thunderstorms through sunrise saturday morning. quite a temperature difference between our cold front. 64 in atlanta compared to 49 near nashville, you see where the cold front has come through. as the system passes through, we have a chance of snow across the extreme northeastern parts of the united states, we could pick up another half a foot of snow for places like maine, vermont, and upstate new york. not what we want to hear. >> no, at least boston is spared. >> they stay out of the snow. >> they deserve a break. thanks. the owners of a u.s. pizzeria take a controversial

they're still looking for the ringleader, though, of the siege. al shabaab gunmen killed 147, mostly students. three students were found alive and hiding on friday. the u.n. security council will meet today to discuss the growing conflict in the chaos that is yemen. more than 500 people have been killed in the last few weeks of fire-fighting. houthi rebels have abandoned the presidential palace friday after heavy saudi air strikes. iran's president says his country will stick to its nuclear deal and prove it can cooperate with the world. the agreement keeps iran from pursuing nuclear weapons in exchange for phased out international sanctions. the deal must be finalized by the end of june. before a deal is finalized, u.s. president barack obama must convince congress to approve it. and his deputy national security adviser says delaying that
12:33 am
approval only increases the chance of war in the middle east. he spoke with cnn's fareed zakaria. for now the republicans by and large seem opposed. what are you going to do to try and get it through congress because otherwise there's no deal. >> well, first of all, we're going to lay out the details of this, both the framework and when we have a final deal in june. and i think on the merit we'll make the case that this is a strong deal. i think people are seeing there's more specifics, more constraints and limitations. the duration is more than people thought. there are limitations that go 15 years. there's transparency measures that go 25 years. they're elements that are permanent, permanent commitments from the iranians. so we'll make a case on the merits for the deal. that will be backed up by not just our national security team but the leading scientists and nuclear experts in this country who can validate the fact that this adds up, prevents iran from getting a nuclear weapon. we're dealing with a set of options.
12:34 am
essentially, number one, we can have a long-term verifiable deal to keep them from getting this weapon. two, we could get military action which doesn't set the program back as long as this type of deal and carries huge risk in the region. three, you could sanction them more. the fact is every time we've imposed sanctions on iran, they've advanced their program, if they do it from two to three breakout months, that time will collapse, and we'll be confronted with the decision about whether or not to take military action. in a world of alternatives, this is the best alternative. congress killing the deal will collapse the international union we need for the sanctions regime and potentially leave us with that greater risk of war. >> you can watch the full interview with deputy national security adviser ben rhodes on "fareed zakaria gps" at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in new york on sunday. as tensions rise in north korea with the firing the shore-range missiles, it appears the country's leader is bringing back a tradition. the north is recruiting women to be part of the group that
