by being on time everytime. and if we are ever late, we'll give you a automatic twenty dollar credit. my name is antonio and i'm a technician at comcast. we're working to make things simple, easy and awesome. . we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government. >> giving into the democrats. president trump finds a temporary fix to end the longest government shutdown in u.s. history and it does not include any funding for his border wall. plus, a big move in robert mueller's russia investigation. fbi agents call long time russia agent roger stone into court for lying and witness tampering,

allegedly. also this from brazil there hour, dangerous flooding, hundreds of people missing following the collapse of a dam. >> live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. we want to welcome our people here in the states and all around the world, i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now. the 35-day nightmare is finally over for 800,000 u.s. workers. the president suddenly dropped his demand as a price to reopen the government. instead, mr. trump quietly signed legislation to put government employees back to work, with pay for three weeks and in return, he got nothing. one of his advisers called it a humiliating loss. >> also on friday, roger stone, his relationship with donald

trump goes back many decades, now, he has been arrested by the fbi. this exclusive video from cnn, caught in the net of the special counsel robert mueller, now facing multiple federal charges. we'll have more on roger stone in just a moment. we begin with cnn's jim acosta. we'll have the latest from the white house. >> reporter: president trump's demand for a wall came tumbling down as he backed off from democrats. he made an unthinkable concession. he agreed to sign a spending bill without money for his border wall. >> i will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until february 15th. i will make sure that all employees receive their back pay very quickly or as soon as possible. it will happen fast. >> reporter: but the president cautioned the short-term agreement to reopen the government will only last three weeks, warning, if he doesn't have his wall then, a shutdown

could happen all over again, raising the prospect he called declare a national emergency. >> if we don't get a fair deal from congress the government will either shut down on february 15th, again, or i will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the constitution of the united states to address this emergency. >> reporter: senate minority leader chuck schumer welcomed the concession, but stated democrats aren't about to give the president what he wants. >> i genuinely hope this process can produce something that is good for the country and acceptable to both sides. we don't agree on some of the specifics of border security. democrats are against the wall. >> the president didn't sound like he was giving up on his wall as he ad-libbed big portions, arguing border barriers work. >> i believe drugs, a large

percentages of which come through the southern border will be cut by a number that nobody will believe. so let me be very clear, we really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier. >> reporter: at one point in his speech, mr. trump sounded as though he's not dealing with reality, praising federal employees for not complaining about working without being paid. you are fantastic people. you are incredible patriots. many of you have suffered far greater than anyone but your families would know or understand and not only did you not complain, but in many cases, you encouraged me to keep going because you care so much about our country and about its border security. >> reporter: but federal workers have been sounding the alarm about the shutdown's devastating effects, including the potential

for an aviation disaster. with so many air traffic controllers pushed to the breaking pointed. >> we are already short staffed. so now you've added the stress to air traffic controllers and their personal circumstances and they're not sleeping at night. now, we're concerned they're not fit for duty. >> reporter: the president's surrender on the shutdown reveals a if you political reality in washington with house speaker nancy pelosi to eat his own tweets, after he promised no cave just days ago. all democrats had to do was point to the video from last month. >> i will take the mantle. i will be the one to shut it down. i'm not going to blame you for it. >> reporter: a senior official is taking steps to make sure federal workers receive their pay as big as possible. the big question is how much damage has been done, there is the indictment of his long-time adviser roger stone. as one trump adviser put it to me the white house is in a valley tonight. jim acosta, cnn, the white

house. >> let's talk about it with stevener ling steven erlinger. >> hi, natalie. >> donald trump did open the government. good news for federal workers. in caving, a resounding defeat. nancy pelosi taunting him on the left, au anne coulter on the ri. was friday the worst day as president? >> no, there is a long way to go. it was a pretty bad day i have to say when trump has to give in. i mean, we have somebody has to climb down from the wall and it was mr. trump. but he really got exposed from his base. i don't know what anne coulter represents, precisely, but a

loud voice. but she is very upset. other people who is for trump are very upset and for the democrats, it's a victory. it's a hollow victory, in the sense that permanent employees were damaged. air traffic controllers were beginning not to come to work. there were delays at major airports. there were questions about security. so i don't think there is a lot of winners except in a political sense and then we have three weeks to see what will happen. >> right. president trump has often claimed he's the ultimate deal maker, but he basically lost out to nancy pelosi. how did she pull that off? >> well, that's interesting. trump, needless to say the american people are going to be so tired of winning they won't be able to stand it. it's the democrats who won. i think she [ inaudible ] she controlled one house of the

legislature, which is the big change from the mid-terms. and what was interesting is there are a lot of republicans who seemed as chuck went on very, very long, longest ever i think, very nervous about the impact on popular opinion at home. because it wasn't popular and people were blaming republicans. so mitch mcconnell, who runs the senate for the republicans, he's the republican leader, you know, quietly was pushing the white house to get behind something done, a bill that could reopen government. now, the interesting thing, he is, you know, trump has made new promises that will happen in three weeks if he doesn't get his wall. so, i mean, there is still a lot of interesting negotiations to continue. >> right. >> but the combination of this and the stone indictment i think is very bad news for the president. >> i want to talk about what

happens next. do you think that democrats will offer the president anything vis-a-vis the wall? is it time for them to look at immigration differently? and do you think you would really shut down the government again and put people right back through this? >> getting back is really hard for the white house to do, to be honest. i think he'd be probably better off, particularly trying to have this national emergency that he keeps talking about and moving money from the military budget to try to start building the wall. the problem is that created an immediate court case and an appeal. but i think that would go over better than actually shutting down the government again. the democrat offered the white house more footing for border security. but they have been very stiff about not building a wall. so it's hard to see them

climbing down on that aspect. it is worth remembering. if, you know the president talked about all the drugs, i mean, over the border, most of them fly over. and most illegal immigrants from the united states have visas and overstay their visas. they're not walking across the border. >> yes. yet, the president still sticks to his guns when he tries to describe to the american people what he sees as happening at the border. although, report after report shows otherwise. we always appreciate your insights. perhaps we'll talk again when he delivers his delayed state of the union. there could be some drama there. we'll wait and see. thanks, stephen. >> thanks, natalie. all right, we have been talking a bit about the long-time trump adviser roger stone. he said he will plead not guilty to many charges. he was arrested friday in florida and then released on bond. among those accusations is lying

to congress about his efforts to get dirt on hillary clinton from wikileaks, specifically, democratic party e-mails obtained by russia. jim scuitto outlines what stone is up against, rather, and how it could affect the president. >> boos, jeers, and a defiant smile outside the federal courthouse in florida, after a judge released roger stone on a $250,000 bond. stone flashed victory signs reminiscent of richard nixon over a chorus of lock him up! >> the charges today relate in no way to russian collusion. >> reporter: the long-time friend and adviser to donald trump now charged by special counsel robert mueller for allegedly seeking stolen e-mails from wikileaks to damage hillary clinton, while in close contact with senior trump campaign officials. >> i will plead not guilty to these charges. i will defeat them in court.

i believe this is a politically motivated investigation. >> reporter: it was a tense drama as fbi agents in tactical gear raided stone's florida home to arrest him. the fbi also searched his new york apartment. the indictment charged him with obstruction of justice, lying, witness tampering, not conspiracy. however the 24-page document chronicles a series of communications between stone, wikileaks and senior trump campaign officials about the content and the timing of the release of clinton campaign e-mails stolen by russia. according to special counsel's indictment, after the july 22nd, 2016 release of stolen democratic committee e-mails by organization one, which cnn has identified as wikileaks, a senior trump campaign official was directed to contact stone about any additional releases

and what other damaging information wikileaks had regarding the campaign. nietoer that official or the official that gave the direction have yet been revealed. prosecutors cite as evidence, text messages and e-mails with senior campaign officials about his contact with wikileaks' founder, judgmentian assange. >> i actually have communicated with assange. >> reporter: one of those texts dated october 7th, 2016, after wiki leaks released the first stolen e-mails from the chairman john podesta. an associate of the campaign official sent a text message to stone that read, well done. cnn identifyed that campaign official as then campaign ceo steve bannon. the coordination is of concern with the special counsel because of the organization's ties to russia. in 2016 the u.s. intelligence community said wikileaks

released the hacked e-mails in a manner quote consistent with the methods and motivations of russian-directed efforts. the special counsel also indicted stone for witness tampering. this for allegedly attempting to sway radio host randy creditco, allegedly, a go-between before he testified to congress. the indictment alleges that stone said creditco should do a frank frantangeli. he said he e-mailed them to say are you a rat, a stoolie. stone then said he would quote take that dog away from you, referring from his pet. stone and president trump have been friends since the 1980s when stone first encouraged trump to run for president. >> trump is someone through the '80s who took enormous risks and succeeded. >> as exploerd in the documentary, get me roger stone. stone once again expressed his

loyalty to trump. >> there is no circumstance whatsoever under which i will bear false witness against the president nor will i make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. >> reporter: wikileaks was not a minor player in the russian election. u.s. intelligence described it as working with them. in april of next year, they sid it is time to call wikileaks out what it is, often abetted by state actors, it is wikileaks, roger stone and a friend was communicating with and repeatedly, that is a part of the significance of this indictment. jim scuitto, cnn, walk. >> to put all of this into focus, let's bring in harry litman, a contributor at the washington post. joining us via skype, thanks for your time. >> thanks for having me.

>> so after making a statement today when you will test courthouse, roger stone spoke to my colleague chris cuomo today. he's not known for being publicly shy after speaking out on camera. let's listen. >> first of all, i always said that there could be some process crime. >> yes. >> there is still no evidence whatsoever that i had advanced knowledge of the topic, subject, or the source of the wikileaks disclosures. i never received any of the wikileaks disclosures. i never communicated with assange or wikileaks other than the limited on twitter direct message which i gave to the house intelligence committee last september i guess it was. >> so stone denies any of the guilt in these charges. but given a case that prosecutors have built against him and from your expert opinion, how serious is this for him and what does it mean for the man he once advised?

>> it is pretty serious and it's probably going to get more serious. when he calls a process crime is a series of lies to congressional committees who are -- were investigating the streamly grave topic of whether russia interfered in the 2016 election. this is not a stray or immaterial misstatement say to an fbi act. but the indictment, in addition, really implicates stone in conduct involving the coordination and even the incitygation of the release of the hacked e-mails that russia obtained and then passed through to julian assange. in other words, i think mueller has begun to lay a predicate for

substantive crimes involving the effort on stone's part to influence the election. he is now suggesting that there is a total law, everything stops there, between him and the campaign. maybe. but we know he was in regular communication with the president, himself, during the campaign. and there have been searches that mueller executed today at two different places that are likely to reveal a lot of e-mail traffic. he wasn't shy at the time about boasting to others a different tune than he's now gave to chris cuomo. >> and to that point, you know, we did hear the white house press secretary come out and say this has nothing to do with the president or the white house. but it is very interesting to hear exactly how interconnected stone has been to the president from the mouth of a man who once head his campaign as a campaign adviser and is now a convicted felon. let's listen to paul manafort. >> even after roger stopped

being the principle political adviser to trump. he continued to be a very important adviser and is to this day. roger's relationship with trump has been so interconnected that it's ha ready to define what's roger and what's donald. but it will be clearly a trump presidency, i think it's influenced by a stone philosophy. >> so what do you make of their relationship and what it means for the president now to have roger stone facing charges for lying, tampering and obstruction? >> yeah. i mean, i think it puts it at the threshold of grave jeopardy for trump. for starters, there the a paragraph in the indictment. paragraph 12, which is ez that steve bannon, another person by the way who has cooperated with mueller, was ordered a exquisite use of the passive voice. was ordered to have stone get some of these e-mails. well, who is in a position to order a guy like steve bannon?

i can only think of one person. so that's an obvious ominous threat to trump in a concrete way. but more generally, it is just clear as manafort says that they were extremely close all through the campaign. does it stand to reason that stone having basically secured this coup of great e-mails, great dirty tricks would somehow have stood silent about this to the campaign and to the president, seems implausible to me. >> harry litman, we appreciate your time and perspective. >> thank you, george. we turn to brazil next, rescues are under way after a dam burst there. it released mud, wait until you see how they are trying to rescue people. plus, venezuelan political showdown, the latest on the power struggle between two presidents and protestors caught in the middle there. stay with us. ling sensitive ski.

toll stands at 7, but it is expected to rise much higher. >> reporter: a rescue worker struggles to pull a woman to safety. she is trapped in a atlantic, deep sludge, barely able to hold herself up. finally with some help, she is listed on to a helicopter, covered in mud, appearing exhausted. she is one of those rescued in a deadly disaster that is submerging homes, roads, cars, buses and people. it began when a mining dam burst early friday afternoon, near brazil's southeastern city of brumadinho. it sent huge piles of mud, trapping dozens of people. dozens of rescue workers have been deployed to free them. the company apologized for the disaster. the ceo asking for forgiveness from those affected.

sadly, this tragedy not the first of the largest mining company or for this region of brazil. company officials claim they have made an immense effort to improve its dams after a similar collapse. 19 people were killed, officials called it the worst environmental disaster in the country's history. the ceo worries friday's disaster could be even worse. >> this time it's a human tragedy because we are likely talking about a large victors. we don't know how many there are. but we know it will be a large number and the environmental damage will be smaller this time. >> the country's newly elected president cautioned he hopes the worst has not happened, announcing plans to fly over the region saturday. he says all possible measures are in place. with officials working to limit the destruction and rescuers

racing against time to save those they can. cyril vanier, cnn. >>. pope francis appeared to take a thinly veiled shot at president trump on youth day. he told a crowd builders of walls create fierce and divide people. >> his comments seem to reference the u.s. president's poefl to build a wall along the u.s.-mexico border. the pope added it was senseless to add every migrant as a threat to society. donald trump's governing is not like any other u.s. president. coming up, we take a closer look at roger stone. . plus, no end in sight for the political crisis playing out in venezuela. thousands of protesters are caught in the crossfire there as two men continue their fight for the presidency.

nicholas maduro slammed efforts by the opposition to drive him from office. the opposition leader juan guaido called on the military to be on his side. india celebrated its 70th republic day with a military parade and for the first time an all women contingent of india para-military forces participated. india declared independence from british rule in 1947. but it did not adopt its constitution until january 26th, 1950. in the united states, the partial government shutdown is finally over. it went for 35 days. it ended without warning on friday. the u.s. president dropped his demand for border wall funding. instead, he agreed to work for a three-week extension for funding for federal agencies while congress continues to debate border security. president trump could have had that same deal five weeks ago. that's when democrats first

offered that deal to him. u.s. senate minority leader chuck schumer and nancy pelosi said they were relieved it was resolved short term. >> disagreement of policy shouldn't be a reason to shut down, especially again for a period of time that has an impact on the paychecks and i'm sad it's taken this long. i'm glad that we've come to a conclusion today as to how we go forward in the next three weeks. >> hopefully, now, the president has learned his lesson, we cannot, cannot ever hold american workers hostage again. >> well, donald trump's long-time adviser is now facing federal charges, putting lying to congress and witness intimidation and obstruction of justice. >> those contacts with wick key leaks when they released hacked

democratic e-mails. stone says he is will plead not guilty and not flip on the president. >> that defiance is typical roger stone. >> reporter: look familiar? it's meant to. roger stone is so proud of his association with richard nixon, he's got annual image of mixon tattooed on his back. stone was still a teenager when he worked with nixon's 1972 re-election campaign and started to hone his skills? what stone himself once called the black arts, otherwise known as dirty tricks in american politics. >> in some way, roger stone is the dna of the dirty tricks of richard nixon to what are alleged to be the dirty tricks of the trump campaign. >> reporter: those who have chronicled stone and donald trump say it was stone who first put the idea of running for president into trump's mind, shortly after they met around 1980. by the 1990s, stone was calling

himself a political adviser to trump saying the real estate mag nate was a different breed for the white house. >> well, he's not pre pack and, scripted. he can't be handled. what you see is what you get. frankly, i think voters find it refreshing. >> reporter: through the decades, stone would not stop trump from pushing a presidential run. for years, trump demurred. >> i didn't hire him, roger is a good friend of mine, he's a good guy. he looked at the possibility of it. i decided i didn't want to do it. >> reporter: it was back in the 1980s, a legendary street brawling lawyer mentored both trump and roger stone, instilling in both men a pugnacious barrack they carry with them. >> he prescribes to this group of atherisms he calls trump's rules. one we seen come up a lot in the mueller probe is admit nothing,

deny everything, launch counterattack. >> reporter: from faking campaign contributions to socialists to planting other false information, roger stone wouldn't miss a creative trick in trying to sabotage his candidate's opoints. after working on ronald reagan's campaign, he teamed up with chairman paul manafort in a lobbying firm, which represented murderous dictators, among others. at times, stone's personal life derailed his career, if only temporarily. he had to leave bob deal's 1996 campaign when a tabloid published a story on stone and his wife being swingers. >> roger is a very unique individual. he is a body building, pot smoking, dandy swinger. he very much is a libertarian who embraces he donism. >> reporter: now, as roger stone again vows his loyalty to president trump, critics say he symbolizes a strong current in the underside of politics.

>> roger stone is say among that small group of americans who are unapologetic about subverting our democracy for the sake of their preferred candidates. they don't believe there is a role for morality in elections. >> reporter: and analysts say what continues to be rrkable about the arc of roger stone is he was never really exiled from the world because of his roles in dirty tricks, in fact, they say, he was often hired because of those roles. >> and another trump adviser, paul manafort was in court on friday. >> former trump campaign chairman is accused of lying to special counsel. mueller in a breach of his plea deem. mueller's office says he has no plans to bring new charges against manafort. the hearing is set for next month to hear arguments on whether manafort breached the deal. >> he allegedly lied about passing polling information to russians, whom he owed money to. i want to turn back now to

venezuela. a major power struggle intensified friday. there two rivals defend their claim for the president. >> nicholas maduro slammed the efforts to oust him, he was signaling he is opened to die lock. in the meantime the self declared president juan guaido, told his supporters to continue the fight and urge the military to join them. tronz contract . >> translator: if they dare to assume power again the president is the only authority of the constitution. i ask you to keep us on the path peacefully and non-violent ly, but with much force in every street in venezuela demanding what belongs to us for freedom. >> the u.n. human rights agency says at least 20 people have

been kill in protests just in week. the u.n. council meeting is set for saturday. brett bruin was in charge of the engagement in walk. we appreciate your time. i want to ask you first the u.s. is keeping the president obama on and maduro is indicating he is willing to talk. do you believe him? is he finally feeling the heat and something in him could crack here? >> well, i think he is feeling the heat. i don't know how genuine that offer of talks really is. what we're seeing, i think, is an effort by the american administration to seek out various forms of pressure, both on maduro, but actually more importantly on the military, which is the weak link in this situation. you've got juan guaido who is reaching out to officers in the military, encouraging them to lay down their arms. >> you talked about various forms the united states is

doing. i want to ask you, overall, how do you think the trump administration is handling this? i've heard you say before that diplomatic efforts by the trump administration have been amateurish. but how are they doing here? >> i'd give them a b. i think on the one hand they have taken a strong position, which has applied important pressure. it has brought a number of countries into a coalition that is supporting the constitution of venezuela. on the other hand, it has been a hasty and a haphazard approach. they've made a series of errors. one notably that they waited 24 hours to order the draw down of our embassy and encourage our citizens to leave the country. maybe that was reckless. >> any indication that the military staunchly behind maduro will stand down? >> there are. there have been instances both

in the last several days as well as over the course of the last several months of military officers that have broken with the regime. what we haven't seen yet are senior officials who have switched sides. and that i think is going to be a key issue. if they can bring both the senior officials and the troops they command over, that will be a significant indicator that things are changing for maduro. >> all right. we'll watch for that. i want to ask you also about, what about china and russia continuing to support maduro, would that complicate things? >> it does. but i think there is a path forward here and i would encourage washington to consult with beijing and moscow and say, we will protect your investment interests in the country, but we need to avoid a quite catastrophic situation if

venezuela is driven off the cliff by maduro. so i think it's in everybody's interest to find an option of this potential crisis. >> right. what is it about guaido do you think that has pushed this, this far? what has he been bringing to the table? >> well, he is a young politician, one who we would not normally assume would be placed in this situation, but, quite frankly, he is one of the last promising political leaders that is not in jail, who has not been forced into exile. so he was handed the mantle. i think he is very much a transition leader and one who with his youth and his energy can attract some support and confidence from venezuelans who are pretty despirited after years of economic and political difficulties. >> absolutely at this point how

much worse could it get? so we'll talk with you agains a developments push forward. we are monitoring paris where another set of protests are set to begin this time the yellow vest protesters hope there will be fewer rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons. ars pampers swaddlers the #1 choice of hospitals, nurses & parents

of touch with the needs of middle class workers. >> macron is trying to ease them with the great debate, public discussions where people can air their grievancens and build what he calls a new contract with the nation. c cnn erin mclaughlin is covering the story. what is the feeling there on the streets? >> reporter: things are pretty calm here. let me step out of the way, george, and show you the season behind me, you have a few hundred people wearing the signature yellow vest versus gathered. i was speaking to some of the protesters a short while ago, they're telling me they're here to protest the french president macron as well as his policies. they tell me he represents the banks and financiers, not ordinary people in france, something you hear over and over again, speaking to people who come out for these protests. security, of course, an issue here as it has been in past weeks.

you can see just that way, programs, some police vans have parked, police with theory ought gear are here monitoring the situation as well. this week, they've actually been equipped with cameras to record the situation. they've come under criticism, accusation of heavy handedness, especially surrounding the youth of rubber bullets and things have gotten violent in past weeks. we are expecting to counter protest the red scarf protesters will come out to counter the message of the yellow vest, specifically on that point of violence, kind of an illustration, if you will, of some people here growing wary with the protests we are seeing. you mention this protest now in its 11th week. >> briefly here. of course, among the protesters,

he is a dislike. at the same time the great debate does seem to be gaining some traction. people are liking the ability to air their grievances. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. french president macron has made a concerted effort to engage with the public in a series of town halls he has held throughout france, even making a surprise appearance earlier. he made a surprise appearance to the town hall to the east of france, where he engaged with the public some three hours. there have been televising vision debates, a period of time this is expected to last three months, giving people the opportunity to air their grievance, and him to come to some concensus on a way forward. it's not satisfying that protesters here today. i was speaking to them a while ago. they told me to them it's not enough. they see the great debate as simply a ploy. >> thank you again to the

reporting there in paris. it is bitter cold in parts of the u.s. maybe not the best time to protest. some say that would not be fun. >> no. >> and it's getting even colder as more arctic air presses in. ivan cabrera will have more about it ahead.

get ready for a wave of cold, arctic air to sweep the eastern u.s. how exciting. >> for those people, sorry about that all of you. >> right. >> ivan cabrera has dealt with it. >> so cold a groundhogg knocked him out of the ground. there is a marsupial that comes out, if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter, if he doesn't, early spring. it is also my birthday next week. >> yes, a tradition. here, let's check in on what's been going on. this is back breaking work here, folks, de-icing and arctic air. we are talking temperatures, 30 or 40 below as far as the wind chill. you don't want ice developing on the wings of the plane, that affects lift and causes all sorts of problems. so you may have delays, despite the fact we're not talking about

snow. it's barely cold air. look at this right at this hour, international falls, that's the icebox of the united states, minus 37. have you been in that kind of weather? your body starts really becoming quite painful after a few minutes of that minus 28 in fargo, down further south, cleveland at 7 degrees. st. louis at 13. we will continue to see these wind chills from 25 to 40 below. we have wind chill advisories in effect and further to the forth. you have that northwesterly wind. the lakes have begun to cool off. so the difference in air mass is not a huge deal, what am i talking about? lake effect snow. you get at the beginning of the season, cold air. you get significant amounts of snow. i think we will get some. it won't be the type we see earlier in the season. the cold air has been with us quite some time. it will be the next several days. we have wave over wave. the jet stream is diving down south, basically opens from the

north air to come down into the southeastern u.s. if you travel, flying into new york the next few days, i think you will be okay at the beginning of that then, by the end, we'll get very cold, look at this, 30 degrees on monday. a little snowfall. >> that snowfall will be the arctic front that moves in and draws temperatures to zero. by the end of the week, we'll have temperature noose the upper teens so my psa for you, in case this is your first time in cold weather, you know, just use common sense. you want to wear layers, loose fitting clothing. don't forget the hat and the gloves. limit your outdoor exposure. that's what i will be doing, staying inside watching netflix. my days off. >> that's what i do. there thank you very much. >> talk to you later. we are definitely monitoring. it is going down to the wire at the australian open. they are now in their third set with two amazing stories, if she
