12:00 am
plus it's nearly spring in the northeastern united states but it's definitely not in the air just yet, with a major snowstorm on the way. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and of course all around the world, i'm rosemary church. >> thank you very much for joining us. you're watching "cnn newsroom." turkey's president is threatening strong retaliation after the country blocked two tush i turkish ministers from holding -- >> the dutch government said it barred the ministers because it was worried about keeping order. but the turkish president compared the neither land to nazzis and warned the country will pay the price. let's go to cnn with a reporter there.
12:01 am
first off, i want to play to you the video of the encounter between a turkish minister and dutch police. it was just outside the turkish consulate on friday evening that sort of sparked the whole problem. >> higher orders to ask you to leave holland today. we can escort. we advised her, the team is to escort you in the fastest route to germany by following the team in your own car. >> i will go to the consulate. i'm a country's minister. there is no way in the world this can happen. i don't agree on this and i'm not leaving for germany. >> so to make sure that our viewers understand what just how unusual this is, there's -- this is a minister from a foreign country that's essentially being blocked from the police from this country. you don't see it in this video, she's been escorted back to the
12:02 am
border of germany, essentially, kicked out of the country. how did this go down in turkey? >> well, people would say, what happened, what played out in the netherlands on saturday defied diplomatic protocols, whether it was the prime minister -- the foreign minister not allowed to land there or, as we saw, the minister of family affairs pretty much being es skorted out of the country, many here would consider this as huge insult for high ranking officials from this country. initially, we did see some protests taking place here in instanbul outside the consulate general and also the netherlands with a few hundred protesters there. but since then, these protests seem to have died down but that war of words seem to continue on sunday escalating with, as we
12:03 am
heard, high-ranking officials, includi including the president accusing the netherlands in this case, fascist and nazzi type behavior and saying they will pay the price. >> about the war of words, the president there has not pulled his punches. to call them fascist and nazis. is that the heat of the turkish referendum campaign? >> well, that seems to be the feeling. we have to wait and see how much of this is really posturing, how much of these threats are real as we heard from several turkish officials. some believe that a lot of it here is what we're seeing play out is domestic turkish politics, keeping in mind you have that referendum that is
12:04 am
scheduled to take place on april the 16th, a referendum for constitutional amendments that will give the president far more sweeping powers. this is the hype of this campaign. he's trying to reach out, not only to the citizens of turkey here in the country, but also to dual citizens estimated in the millions outside of the country, especially in european countries like germany, and also the netherlands. so some believe, especially critics of the president there, of what we're seeing right now is playing to this domestic audience at the height of this campaign, ahead of the referendum, trying to show that turkey is oppressed by what he's described as an islamic phobic europe and we'll have to wait
12:05 am
and see how much of this is posturing. >> why is it so important for the turkish president and his party to hold these campaign rallies in european countries? >> well, because you have millions, estimated, turkish citizens, dual citizens, these turks who are in european countries. and this is a very heated campaign. they're trying to gain the president's -- the president's camp is trying to gain as much votes as they can ahead of that april 16th ren rferendum for tuy that will really give the president far more sweeping powers, as we've mentioned. it would change this country from a particliamentary republi
12:06 am
giving the president much more powers. during this campaign he's not only trying to reach out to turkish citizens here in turkey, but also to the hundreds of thousands and the millions who are living abroad during this campaign. >> reporting live from instanbul in turkey, thank you so much. let's bring in a former senior u.s. official covering turkey for the white house and state department, he joins us now from instanbul, thank you so much for being with us. so turkey's president says the netherlands will pay the price for banning his ministers from taking part in a dutch political rally. what does he mean by that, exactly? where do you see this diplomatic round going from here? >> i think in the first instance he means that there will be some sort of restrictions imposed on aircraft from the netherlands could be klm, also air france, that gets a little bit
12:07 am
difficult. he's talked about limiting official aircraft from landing in turkey from the netherlands, not to come back. and i think, also, he's trying to convince citizens of the netherlands maybe to vote against the prime minister's party, i think it's going to backfire because they will create support for the far right. where i see this all going is, i think it will resolve itself sort of at the level of rhetoric, points after the referendum. until the referendum, i think the president understands that by playing the turks up for being victimized, as he sees it, by the inability to hold a rally and allow turks to express their freedom of speech in the netherlands, that really plays to his political base and beyond his base here in turkey. the opposition leader came out last night and actually said, i stand fully in solidarity with
12:08 am
the president, even though the opposition meter so strongly opposes the president and the referendum that's coming up on april 16th, so in the short term it will pass. >> so why do you think the netherlands banned the turkish minister from holding turkish rallies. turkish president says it amounts to islam phobia, is he right? >> i don't think so. i think the netherlands ban this because this was a classic case of two sides talking past to each other. from the perspective of the netherlands government, it's inconceivable that political debate will be carried on of ministers from another country among people who are dual citizens, in the netherlands where the netherlands is not part of this debate. from the turkish perspective it's unfathomable that ministers
12:09 am
wouldn't be allowed to speak to ethnic turks in the netherlands. but the prime minister of the netherlands knows that in his election coming up on wednesday, that there is this up swell of antiimmigrants, antiturkish and antiislamic healing and he's got to protect his right. >> as you mentioned, elections in the netherlands will be held wednesday and that's already having an impact here in the united states where u.s. congressman state king has shown support for far-right dutch politician, who has said turkish diplomats should go away and never come back. and they tweeted this, they understand that culture and demographics are our destiny, we can't restore as civilization with somebody else's babies. it's -- it's worth adding to, this tweet was supported by the leader of the klu klux klan here in the united states. then chelsea clinton responded
12:10 am
on twitter, i'm paraphrasing here. she said the congressman does not view all our children as all our children. so what does this all indicate to you. are we dealing with the rise of white nationalism in the united states and across parts of europe? and if we are, what could that mean? >> we're certainly experiencing a sense of nativism of extreme nationalism, and of racism across the atlantic, from the klu klux klan support that you just mentioned from the congressman's initiative. i mean, he's ban major dutch politics for a long time. but, you know, he's never come close to anything like critical mass that could get him to be the leading political party in an election. so what's happening between turkey and the netherlands is reflective of a much deeper
12:11 am
reworking go political and ethnic and social reality throughout the trance atlantic space. it plays to president putin, even though russia is not involved in in this at all. all of the negative trends, this is playing to the weakening of the trans atlantic institutions like european union and nato, like the peace we've all enjoyed for the last 70 years since world war ii. this is a real inflection point in history. >> thank you so much for sharing your perspective on this matter, we appreciate it. well south korea is getting ready for a snap election likely in may to replace houston president. >> she left and upheld her impeachment over corruption scandal. she was greeted by supporters at private residence.
12:12 am
>> they want her arrested and local media say she's expected to be interrogated by prosecutors. >> translator: i am sorry that i could not fulfill my duty as a president until the end. i thank people who have supported and believed in me. i will accept all the results. it will take time, but i believe that the truth will definitely come out. >> cnn paula hancocks is in seoul. paula, the crisis in south korea impacts the stand off with neighboring north korea. >> that's right. this goes far beyond south korean political domestic issues. it effects the relationship with north korea, it effects the relationship in the region and also that with washington. scenes of pure joy.
12:13 am
stark contrast to disappointment and anger just underway. south korea is bitteringly divided, the implications reach far wider than these shores. north korea still technically at war with its southern neighbor has been watching this scandal very closely, sharing relative restraints since it emerged last thursday. called park a common criminal. >> i think in some ways north korea is probably enjoying all of this, unfortunately, and hoping that a president gets elected who is going to take a more engagement stance. i will say that appears nightly. >> the latest poll shows as the frontrunner so far, anything could happen. past liberal presidents were more willing to engage in north korea, this could be a potential sticking point for the trump administration who seems more
12:14 am
hard line in there approach. there is the u.s. antiu.s. missile defense system which liberal candidates have already said they don't want. >> in fact, i would suspect part of the reason for accelerating the deployment of that is not just responding to north korean missile threats but also trying to get the thing in place before you have a local president who says, oh, i'm not sure about that. >> china has been clear about the opposition, south korean businesses are saying they're suffering due to boycotts the chinese government said they didn't put in place. >> do we really want to have a problem with china. a lot of koreans worried about the problem with china. so tensions are very high. >> so, potentially, the first task of the new president has to face, no matter who it is, is trying to reunit this country. south korea is politically divided, it is polarized.
12:15 am
>> paula you just mentioned in your piece, the possibility that power would switch hands and end up in the hand of a liberal president. how likely is that? >> according to the polls, it looks quite likely at this point. the fact is we still have two months before this election takes place, an awful lot will change in south korea politics and campaigning. we know there's likely to be some sort of kind backlash against the party, the conservatives are likely to suffer, according to experts because of what has happened. but then you know that she does also have some very strong supporters, those that you saw down at her house and in southern seoul on sunday night welcoming her back. it's hard to tell, at this point it's pointing. >> all right, paula hancocks, reporting live from seoul. thank you very much. when we come back, it's almost spring in the u.s., but

welcome back, republican is calling on u.s. president donald trump to retract his allegation or offer up proof in a string of recent tweets. in a string of tweets he accused president obama of ordering a tap on his phone. >> former president obama denied the claim. former and current officials rejected. senator john mccain says he has no reason to believe the allegation. >> president trump has to provide the american people, not just the intelligence committee, but the american people with evidence that his predecessor, former president of the united states was guilty of breaking the law because our director of national intelligence, clapper testified that there was
12:21 am
absolutely no truth to that allegation, so i think the president has one of two choices, either retract or to provide the information that the american people deserve because if his predecessor violated the law, president obama, violated the law, we've got a serious issue, not to say the least. >> for more on this, james davis joins us now from munich, germany. he's the dean of the school of economics of political science at the university. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> as we just heard this, and john mccain says president trump needs to retract or prove his wiretapping claim. he adds he doesn't even believe it. gechb the intelligence committee, also rejects mr. trump's claim, what's likely to happen next, or is this just another distraction? >> well, it's clearly a distraction. and the president has proven
12:22 am
himself to either master distraction. i think the more important question, what does this tell us about this president and his style of governing? this president could find out, with one or two telephone calls whether or not there's any substance to this claim. he prefers to take his information from questionable news sources rather than the professionals who are charged with watching this sort of thing. i think what we need to find out is, you know, who is the president listening to and why. >> how damaging is a claim like this where a president accuses his predecessor of ordering the tapping of his phones during the election campaign and could this magnitude have on the political climate and no proof is provided and what you're saying and so many are saying, it appears there isn't any proof. >> right. i think his base is going to believe him. i think part of the strategy, if
12:23 am
there is a strategy behind this, is continue to provide to keep them angry at the previous administration and keep them behind the president and keep this myth alive that there's some kind of elite conspiracy against donald trump and the plans he has for the country. of course, in the long term that the risk that the president loses credibility with the vast majority of the american people. the vast majority of the american people are not likely to believe some kind of conspiracy theory, once the senate armed service committee once they start to investigate these claims we'll find out whether there any substance to them, if it isn't, if he's been relying on fake news, it's going to diminish his credibility and he needs credibility in order to move his agenda forward. >> all right. we'll see what happens with that. i want to turn, now, if we can, to the revised trump
12:24 am
administration travel ban. it no longer includes iraq in the original seven muslim countries ban from entry into the u.s. will it be enough, and just how palatable is the risk of the new travel ban? >> i'm not a constitutional lawyer. but from what i understand, the document, the revised document is much more careful and justifies more carefully the kind of bans that the president is trying to put forward for the next 120 days or so. i think it may, in fact, past constitutional muster, but that's an issue for the courts to decide. again, though, the broader question, the bigger question is, is the president demonstrating that he's able to put together an administration and a policy process that is governed by some kind of professionalism. and all of these events, the firing of u.s. attorneys in very
12:25 am
unprofessional way, the original executive order which was rushed out in a way that led to the courts to block it, all of this suggest that this administration still has a long way to go before it is operating at a level of professionalism that the american people have a right to demand. >> so many questions and we will keep asking them, thanks so much for joining us, james davis in munich germany. many thanks. also happening around the world, northern haiti, celebrations for a music festival became a scene of deadly bus crash. we're learning the driver was already fleeing another hit-and-run incident, an eyewitness says people were still trapped under the bus pleading for help when it finally stopped. police are searching for the bus driver. a landslide has killed at least 46 people searching for food at a garbage dump in
12:26 am
ethieopia. piles of trash collapses. many people rely on the landfill to make a living. they sift through it scavenging what they can to survive. the government is trying to resettle the people living at the bar gbadge dump. the u.s. northeast is about to get one more winter beating. >> i'm going to stop believing what you say, not that long ago you were telling us about unseasonably warm weather and now you're telling us at the opposite. >> we didn't think winter was going to happen this go around. we've had a out pacing record so far this year, nine to one, we've had over 200 tornados. we've had plants blooming 30 days in advance and all of us
12:27 am
are ready for the surprise here. guys, we're talking about 103 million people towards the northeastern u.s. where we have winter weather advisers, blizzard watches indicated in green, in place, that number, by the way, 103 million is roughly one in every three people in the united states having to deal with this united states over the next 24 to 36 hours. temperatures, this is what it looks like, generally into the single digits, how about negative single digits portland, maine, we're talking about ten to 12 degrees. the storm system is bringing chicago something they haven't seen since december 17th, that is more than one inch of snow fall in the cold season. finally getting that, over 300 flights have been cancelled across parts of the northeast and chicago, in particular. you take a look, it's out of the midwest earn u.s., it meets up with the storm exiting, the
12:28 am
energy reel, really tremendous here as we go towards tomorrow night into tuesday morning. depending on where this storm system lines up later on into tuesday morning, it could play a significant role. initial estimates generally 8 to 10 inches, in fact more than 50 million people could see a foot of snow come tuesday, the highest concentration, puts very close to new york city, northern new jersey, parts of eastern pennsylvania continue in boston, i can see significant snow. what impresses me the most when you factor in that snow the forecast wind speeds. sort of lunchtime for new york city central park. 73 mile per hour wind gust depending on where it tracks offshore. out there towards some of the costal communities, winds could exceed, this would be at the same time as snow coming down. this will change the variations could go up and down depending on the track of the storm system. this is what they were talking about a couple of days ago.
12:29 am
we were touching on 7 # 0 degrees. it was a record temperature. that's what you remember. >> i was going to hold you to it. >> we'll see if we can get about foot and a half or snow out of this and maybe you'll listen to me more. >> i'm back on the board. you broke out uall the european models. >> we'll take a short break. isis fighters damaged and deface mosul's museum. just ahead, what they didn't know about the collection they destroyed. back in a moment.
12:30 am
12:31 am
12:32 am
welcome back to our viewers
12:33 am
here in the united states. >> i'm rosemary church. i want to update you on the main stories we've been following this hour. south korean ousted president has thanked her supporters and said she is sorry she could not fulfill her presidential duties until the end. that is according to congressman who spoke on park's behalf. she left the executive mansion on sunday after court upheld her impeachment on friday. jihadishts group is claiming twin bombings. they're helping the syrian group. at least 74 people, most of them civilians were killed in saturday's attack. top republican senator john mccain is calling on president trump to retract his claim or provide evidence to substantiate it. mr. trump has accused former
12:34 am
president barack obama of ordering a tap on him during campaign. officials have rejected the allegation. turkey and the netherlands are in a bitter feud over campaigning in dutch soil. they called the dutch after it turned away turkish minister who is tried to speak at a rally on saturday. that sparked angry protests. the turkish president's remarks are unacceptable. let's speak to dominic thomas who joins me from amsterdam. dominique, good to have you would you say. i want to go back to the root cause. several european countries barred turkish political rallies from taking place. most of them cited security concerns, is that the real reason? >> i think this is all about elections, elections that are
12:35 am
about to take place in turkey in a month's time. where they're proposing a referendum that will reform the constitution and of course the elections coming up this week in the netherlands, germany took a similar position to the netherlands when they have elections coming up in six months the french took a different position by allowing the foreign minister to speak in the eastern town. no matter what has happened, no matter what decision was made, and we can talk about that, perhaps, a little bit more, it has brought increasing attention, or public attention to the presence of very large and dual-citizen communities from turkey living in germany, where there are estimated over a million and several hundred thousand in the netherlands. this is given another opportunity in this election that has been driven by the far-right pop pullist and national identity by bringing attention to these communities and raising suspicions by their
12:36 am
allegiance or alliance and to the netherlands as a priority. so it's -- >> do dominique, hold on, the dutch prime min ser is up for election in two days. very critical of immigration and critical of what he calls islamization, as well, is that pushing the dutch prime minister to the right and is that the reason why he prevented those turkish political rallies from taking place? >> i think it really is the big question, by preventing the rally, he, of course, has created a diplomatic and rou with the turkish president, who, of course, who is using this as an opportunity to deflect from criticism of his own and, let's say, democratic deficit in his country at the moment by being able to kind of take the high ground. but, of course, the reactions of the turkish president are giving the current prime minister in
12:37 am
the netherlands the opportunity to stand tough against turkey and look like he's doing to defend the country. that could play out very well. however, he's also coming up under, you know, most indeed the european union what is after all fairly critical relationship with turkey and far right germany, the netherlands swear are being critical of the european union because of the deal it struck in 2016 with turkey to essentially pay turkey to serve as a shield in the migrants crisis. we can see the tensions rising when the stakes are extraordinarily high where you have a vast array of political parties running and the out come is undetermined and so much of this has relied on emotions and fear. with so many undecided voters going into this election, you can see how this is beginning to wear on the candidates running after the election.
12:38 am
>> you've told about the context, in your final estimation when the turkish president says barring my ministers, my turkish and muslim ministers from entering these european countries that ease islamophobia, do you think he has a point? >> yes, of course he does. with the reaction, one would have hoped from european leaders, with perhaps to say, no, in these countries we value democratic principles, we believe in freedom of speech and judiciary, when people want to talk and speak we have no problem with that. secondly, we have no problem with people living in this country who are dual citizens, i think that would have upheld the values of tolerance and exposed them for the dramatic downfall in democratic principle in this country and that would have been more powerful by not allowing these people to speak, let's face it, this is not the first time they have come into european countries to campaign
12:39 am
for their own elections and referendum, that would have been a better way to proceed and voi -- and avoided this di plot mattic crisis. pleasure speaking to you today, thank you very much. >> thank you. iraqi forces say they've taken back more than half of western mosul from isis. its troops hit two isis strong holds. >> almost 100,000 civilians have escaped. on sunday officials say more than 10,000 were taken into nearby refugee camps. they have discovered a mass grave in northwest mosul. they believe it contains the remains of about 500 people. cnn has seen the devastating impact isis has had in western mosul. >> he went to the museum where
12:40 am
militants have reduced priceless artifacts to rubble. >> an comment treasures that survived the ravages of time failed victim to the folly of man. it dated back to syrian empire more than 2,500 years old lying pieces on the floor of the mosul museum. ♪ two years ago isis militants took sledge hammers and jackhammers to the museum's collection posting a video of their vandalism on social media. characterizing the preislamic inhabitants of me-- declares th an comment anticties must be destroyed, even if they're worth billions of dollars. iraqi forces are battling isis
12:41 am
in west mosul regain control of the museum. this is all that remains of one of the museum, a wing bulled, a symbol of the might and great syrian empire. not only did isis go to the trouble of breaking apart these statutes, they also chipped away the face. as you can tell, the battle still rages all around us. it wasn't all about implementing isis's twisted interpretation of islam when their cameras weren't rolling, they were looting the museum. captain of the iraqi police explains why there's a gaping hole in the museum floor. this vault, he says, contained artifacts that were on display, isis took them out and sold them outside of iraq, all, however, is not lost. three quarters of the museum's collection was moved to baghdad before isis seized mosul because this museum was set for
12:42 am
renovation. as fate would have it, the final joke was on isis. many of the statutes they toppled with such gusto were cheap replicas, they were fake. cnn, west mosul. we'll take a short break here, but coming up, far right leader lapin is set to present her plan for french citizenship. >> we'll go live to paris for details after the break. they're in high school and they're learning to fight modern day slavery around the world. cnn freedom project has their journey. uh-- wha-- woof! eeh-- woof! wuh-- [silence]

her plans for citizenship. here is more from paris with the latest, melissa, identity, immigration, french value, that's always been such a part of the platform and it's got her riding high at the polls in a moment. what are you expecting from her this morning? >> reporter: we're doing to hear in greater detail what we already know, her plan, for instance, about the limited immigration, not just in terms of numbers but in the way that the immigration policy has been set up in france for decades that is changing the fact that the children born on french soil get an automatic right to french citizenship. and the questions of identity and the questions of what makes makes french people french, they've been part of her platform and program and part of her dna all her life and they've become more and more a part of the french political narrative. that's what he is been interesting about this campaign.

i think the whole country is going to be very closely that election you mentioned a moment ago, the one in holland in a couple of days time, the question being how prepared the european consulate is to announce the liberalism that has characterized politics ever since world war ii. >> most are six weeks away from the first round of presidential election, normally by this stage, the political landscape and the race is kind of settled. we have a clear picture of where it's going. we don't, right now, in france. >> reporter: it is destabilizing, it seems to change from day-to-day. you have two main parties at the forefront, the two parties that have divided power between itself. that is spectacularly not the case. the left, the socialist party have chosen a candidate so far to the left he appears to have excluded hims and the polls are struggling to make what is
