"cnn newsroom." i'm bianca nobilo. >> i'm max foster joining you live from london. just ahead on "cnn newsroom" --

>> the most scary thing in my life, but thank you, god, that we are here. >> we couldn't see anything. it just went white. everything went white. explosions were happening. it was terrifying. for biden this is a political gift. it turns out apparently he is not alone in perhaps inadvertently taking classified documents. >> i don't know how this happened. we need to get to the bottom of it. >> this is an example of our leaders not following the rules they write themselves. they are preparing to announce their commitment of a significant number of tanks to ukraine. >> they have every right to defend their territory and armored tanks can be helpful. >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. > . >> it is wednesday, january 25th. 9 a.m. here in london, 4 a.m. on the u.s. east coast where we are following a dangerous storm system barrelling across the

east coast. tornado for mississippi, alabama and florida. >> 40 million people under wind alerts for 14 states. 100,000 customers have lost power. this is all from the same storm and reported tornadoes that ravaged texas and louisiana. in houston pow er poles and lins were toppled. rubble is all over the place. >> in houston they have been helping stranded motorists on water-covered roads. people who wound up in dangerous situations described what they endured. >> the house is gone so the whole top section is runined. it's toast. hard to take. we're alive. >> we ran to the restrooms. the whole building fell. the restrooms didn't fall. that's the only thing that kept us alive. in pasadena, texas, a

semitruck of some sort was flipped over and teetered over a median. >> the storm tossed around cars and trees with abandon. so far no reports of injuries. cnn's rosa flores reports. >> this tornado, this stream of storms left a very destructive path. you can see that these are some of the projectiles that were flying. and i want to show you what's behind me because this is what we've been seeing around here. this was a gym, a cross fit gym. you can see if you look closely, you'll even see some of the workout equipment under the mangled roof. the owner of this gym spoke to our affiliate khou and he really described the intense moment when this storm, this potential tornado here, it's unclear, there's still assessments being made, but he described the chaos and the loud noises. he says that four people were inside this cross fit gym at the time of this tornado and he says

that they all ran to the bathroom of this gym and that's how they survived. they credit that bathroom for their survival. now it's dark so it's a little difficult for us to show you more around, but in the distance there's also police activity. again, the assessments are going on. here to my right you can't see because it's dark, but there is ponding on the street. again, this talks to a lot of the intensity. here on my left you can see that these are giant power lines that fell over this gym, again, speaking to the intense moments of when this happened. and the power lines here look like they split like toothpicks. now at the height of the storm center point energy, which services the entire houston metropolitan area, did report more than 100,000 customers without power, but since then they have been working through those power outages.

>> well, the serious storm threat is moving further east. cnn meteorologist britley wrist is tracking this. >> write now we're in the florida panhandle and southern alabama where some of the stronger storms are happening. thankfully no severe warnings in effect but that can still change. we still have the threat of isolated tornadoes early on and into the morning hours and holding on to this throughout the rest of the day. tornado watches in effect for the panhandle up into southern alabama until 5:00 central time. this rolls eastward through the southeast up through the eastern seaboard over the next few days bringing in the threat of severe weather and snowfall. that threat of severe weather along the eastern seaboard stretching south of norfolk, jacksonville and panama city. damaging winds, one of our bigger concerns. again, a few tornadoes cannot be

ruled out through the day on wednesday. on the back end of the area of low pressure, it's cold and we're dealing with snowfall stretching from oklahoma back through the ohio valley up into new england. areas highlighted in pink, a winter storm warning that's in effect and that includes st. louis up through dayton, ohio, into parts of michigan and up through maine. the whole state of maine under the winter storm warning where we could pick up some of the heavier snowfall totals through the higher elevations of the appalachia mountains. that's 18 to 24 inches of snowfall. now widespread with the warning, anywhere between i'd say 5 to 8 inches of snowfall, which is still a significant amount to cause problems out on the roadways. slow down. best advice i can give you there. parts of arkansas back into texas nearing a foot if not right at a foot of snow. max and bianca. meteorologist britley ritz, thank you. now to washington where the

fbi and justice department are reviewing documents found in the home of vice president mike pence. an attorney found about a dozen documents during a search of pence's indiana residence last week. he turned them over to the fbi. >> the discovery comes as special counsels are identifying documents at the former president donald trump and joe biden. >> a lawyer for vice president mike pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at pence's home last week. now those documents are in the hands of the fbi and the justice department, which has launched a review of what's in those documents and how they ended up at pence's home in indiana. sources tell cnn that aides to pence were searching boxes at his home in caramel, indiana. they were found at president biden's home and office.

this comes after president pence said he did not have any classified documents in his possession. >> let me ask you as we sit here in your home office in indiana, did you take any classified documents with you from the white house? >> i did not. our staff reviewed all the materials in our office and in our residential residence to ensure that there were no classified materials that left the white house. >> reporter: a lawyer for pence says that the former vice president was unaware that these classified documents were at his home and the fbi came to pence's home last thursday to pick up the documents with classified markings. then on monday pence's legal team drove four boxes of records that may include nonclassified government documents back to washington, d.c., to hand them back over to the national archives for a review -- for

compliance with the presidential records act. evan perez, cnn, washington. a former trump white house official said pence having the documents could just have been a mistake. >> i was surprised. first and foremost, i think mike pence is a man of integrity and he's a very responsible and serious person. in the trump white house he was somebody i trust to do something by the books more than anybody else on the campus. it makes biden's case for him, which is that accidents happen. the thing that stood out to me knowing mike pence, as an example, he would often have us do briefings in "the situation room" in case we discussed something that was classified even if that wasn't the intent because he took classification so seriously. this indicates it was a mistake, most likely a staff error. keep in mind the timing, this is a hasty transition after january 6th. my guess is that he was not

packing boxes heading -- you know, getting ready for a transition in that period and staff were rushed to do it last minute and that's how it was able to happen. >> the discovery is either good news for joe biden or donald trump depending on whom you ask. one white house official says this turns down the temperature of this being a biden only story. more now from cnn's phil mattingly. >> reporter: white house officials have not been very subtle about trying to draw that very clear contrast between two very different cases over the course of the last several weeks. this helps underscore that point. the cooperation of former vice president pence showed throughout the early stages of the process. it's something that undercuts what had been a president biden only story for several weeks and kind of makes the point that this is something that isn't just exclusive to president biden. this is something several officials have dealtwell in washington. now somebody who held the same

position as him. >> senators on both sides of the aisle are shocked by the revelations that classified documents were found in mike pence's home. cnn's manu raju has more on the reaction from washington. >> reporter: republicans and democrats were stunned that more classified documents emerged not at joe biden's house but at former vice president mike pence's indiana home. other members want to know exactly what happened here. some senators say that there needs to be an investigation or at least a briefing from the director of national intelligence to provide information to the senate intelligence committee. something that the key members hope they will learn on wednesday. even more information from other people in the intelligence community that have had access to these documents. how do they end up out of the secure spaces. i had a chance to talk to one key member of congress, mike pence's brother and i asked

whether his brother may have knowingly taken these. >> you tell me. how did classified documents end up at your brother's house? >> no idea. i had to read your report to find out. >> any chance he knowingly took these? >> if he said he didn't, he didn't. my brother is very honest. >> reporter: chuck schumer, the senate majority leader was noncommittal about the chamber looking into this. he said he could develop information that's being developed to tighten up federal recordkeeping laws. we'll see if that comes to pass. on the house side, they plan to press ahead to investigate joe biden about his mishandling of classified information, specifically the revelation including some documents from his time in the senate were found at his wilmington home. kevin mccarthy attacked biden over that in particular. he was less concerned about mike pence's situation though he said

there's a concern more broadly about these records leaking out. mike pence has been in contact with the house oversight committee which is engaging with him on this issue. how republicans deal with this new revelation remains to be seen in the house as they had planned to press ahead full steam ahead on the biden investigation and now this pence revelation throws a wrench into that. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. meanwhile kevin mccarthy has officially denied two key democrats a seat on the house intelligence committee. >> they are adam schiff and eric swalwell. mccarthy says he acknowledges the efforts but would not put partisan loyalty ahead of national security. the democrats are calling it political vengeance. >> this is not similar to what the democrats did but integrity matters and they have failed in that place from adam schiff using a position of the intel

chair lying to the american public again and gagain. >> in essentially playing with the membership of our committee, in destroying some of the independence of the intelligence committee, in establishing a new select committee on the weaponization of the government, this orwelian committee, they won't want to share information because they're not going to trust mccarthy or the people he puts on these committees this. >> while shivchiff said this go to show he is caging to the majority. walmart is raising wages. 94% of the retail and warehouse workers are paid hourly. >> competitors such as amazon, costco and target have already

raised their minimum wage. the federal minimum wage across the nation is just $7.25 an hour. east asia dealing with a powerful cold snap and the weather has forced cancellations of hundreds of flights in japan impacting thousands of travelers. >> better news for people stranded by snow in south korea. flights to and from the island are resuming. up to 70 centimeters could fall throughout today at jeju. more than 30,000 people were stranded after almost 500 flights were canceled. meanwhile, china's northernmost city has recorded its coldest ever day. meteorologists say temperatures dipped down to almost minus 63 degrees fiern height on saturday. that's 53 degrees celsius. this breaks the previous record set in 1969. and a massive piece of iceberg roughly the size of greater london has broken off

from antarctica's ice shelf. >> this shows cracks have been naturally developing across the ice shell. for at least a decade there have been two major breaks in the past two years. breaking is not a result of the climate change. >> reporter: they have been operating a research station there and the station remains safe. still to come, remembering the victims of the california mass shootings. we'll hear more about them from their families and friends. later what we're learning from an independent autopsy of a black man who died after a traffic stop in tennessee. plus, a major break through in western military for ukraine. the u.s. and germany appear poised to accepted tanks to the war zone.

( ♪ ) he's got to call some folks out. i'm still waiting for kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house of representatives, who pu ports to represent the people of the state of california, a proud and remarkable district, we haven't heard one damn word from

him, not since monterey park, not what happened here, not one word. where is the republican party been on gun safety reform? they balked at it every step of the way. one state can't do it alone. shame on them. >> that was california governor gavin newsom on tuesday sharing his frustration. he says that congress needs to help solve the issues at the root of gun violence but that u.s. republicans are preventing that from happening. >> meanwhile, getting new details on the gunman responsible for killing seven people in half moon bay monday. he's set to appear in court for later today. they confirmed the shooter killed five men and two women of asian and hispanic dissent as he moved from one site to another. >> the gunman lived at the first farm where he opened fire according to a company spokesperson. he lived and worked at the first site since at least march of last year when it was sold to new owners.

police say that he was also accused of threatening to murder a former co-worker at a different job. >> on tuesday crowds gathered in monterey park to remember the 11 victims killed at a dance studio on saturday. the names of all of the victims have been released by authorities and with those names have come stories of lives taken far too soon. cnn's brian todd reports. >> reporter: in happier times may may nan against a dance lesson. 65 years old identified as one of the 11 victims in the monterey park shooting. her family said in a tweet, going to that dance studio was, quote, what smee loved to do. than is remembered by her family for what they call her contagious smile, her warmth. she's remembered for that as well. >> the first thing that comes to my mind is her smile. i don't think i've ever seen her without a smile. through the mask i can see her eyes smiling.

she she was the delight of the class. >> reporter: the core ooner's office has listed all 11 people. >> if you went in there you would see usually older americans, asian-americans dancing, really enjoying themselves. you know, some are such excellent dancers. really into it. loved to go every day. >> one syringe ming wei ma is described as a dance instructor who also may have helped manage the facility. kcal interviewed eric chen, a friend of ma's. >> he was the first to rush to try to stop the shooter. he was just caring for others. people first. >> peter fong told cnn ma

invited him to sing at the club and said ma was always giving others confidence. >> always happy. hey, good to see you. make you feel good. for example, he say, hey, you a good singer. come here and sing. people want to dance. hey, you a good dancer. come here. come to my club. we teach you. get you better. >> reporter: a 68-year-old hospitality worker had, according to his son, planned to retire soon and return to philippines. his son anthony said his dad would spend his free time at the dance studio. he remembers his father sipping and dancing around the house and being a great mentor. >> he taught me things, whether it be the stock market, things like that. just when he was teaching me. those moments. all those kind of times. teaching. he cared about people. >> reporter: anthony alvero says

he doesn't carry anger, he says that won't change the outcome or make anything positive. he says he does take the idea you should cherish the time you have with people. brian todd, cnn, washington. preliminary results from an independent autopsy are shedding light on the death of tyre nichols. the 29-year-old died after an encounter with police after a traffic stop in memphis, tennessee. the autopsy pointed to him suffering extensive bleeding from a severe beating. police said he was taken into custody following what they call, quote, confrontations. we'd like to warn you the image we're about to show you is graphic. >> nichols died in a local hospital three days after the traffic stop. another attorney for the family says unreleased police body camera footage shows nichols was, quote, defenseless the entire time. state and local officials are

investigating actions of officers. five officers and two men of the city's fire department are fired in the wake of tyre nichols' death. we are now learning that the u.s. is finalizing plans to send dozens of sophisticated tanks to the battlefield in ukraine. u.s. officials say those plans involve about 30 abrams tanks and an announcement could come as soon as this week. >> following that word, the german news outlet reported that berlin is set to send leopard 2 tanks to ukraine after six months of debate. all of this after germany said it wouldn't send tanks unless the u.s. agreed to send tanks. >> cnn's salma abdelaziz is tracking developments here in london. this is a big moment, isn't it? some people say it could be a game changer. we'll have to see how these tanks are used in the battlefield. >> it is absolutely a small milestone.

throughout the conflict the western united states and europeans are trying to find a balance between how to support ukraine, give it the weapons and support it needs to defend itself, win back the territories but not give so much that it could widen, deepen the conflict. clearly the calculations are being made in the last few days in berlin and in d.c. we're starting to move towards those official announcements. the united states, according to u.s. officials familiar with the matter, are prepared to announce 30 abrams tanks will be going to ukraine. it's important to remember. this is a long time line. it takes months to train. it's unclear when we'll see them on the battlefield. germany easing its stance in the wake of this news and is preparing, we understand according to the local paper, to make this announcement. in a few hours there's going to be a debate in german parliament about this. we are expecting in the coming days for this to be official.

this is an absolutely major move for europe and the western allies and something russia has responded to. we have a statement here from the kremlin spokesperson. i want to pull that up with you. with any advance -- sorry. we do have that statement. unfortunately, more weapons from nato bring more suffering from people in ukraine. it brings more attention to the continent but it cannot prevent russia from reaching our goals. a clear statement there from russia indicating what berlin has been stating. what berlin is saying. this could escalate tensions. it's important to note, there is a difference between these two types of tanks. the abrams tanks, u.s. made, seen more complicated. the leopard, german made, seen as more practical. i want you to hear what u.s. official john kirby said about that. >> with any advanced system you have to factor in things like supply chain, maintenance time, how often can you keep them operational? how do you use them effectively?

should there -- whatever tanks that get provided to ukraine, certainly that will have to be factored in, whether it's an american tank or anybody else's tank. all of them require unique maintenance and skills that the ukrainians will have to become adept at. yes, that absolutely affects how much do you give? how fast do you give? and how -- and on what time frame the troops are trained on them and they're used in the actual battle. >> so you hear there there's going to be a lag between the u.s. announcing these tanks and them actually being on the ground, but for president zelenskyy, for ukraine, this is absolutely a win. they have been relying on these soviet era tanks. they are dated. they are difficult to use. they are difficult to maintain. this will modernize what is an infantry war and give the ground troops what they think is a spearhead in the form of these tanks. >> salma, thank you very much, indeed. still ahead, a georgia prosecutor says decisions are imminent on charges against donald trump for his efforts to

overturn the 2020 election. plus, no love stories for ticketmaster in washington. they grilled them saying it's karma to cite the larger than life influence. >> you can't have too much consolidation. something that unfortunately for this country as an ode to taylor swift, i will say, we know all too well. >> once again, sheer's cheer captain and i'm on the bleachers. >> a lot of people think that's somehow a solution. i think it's a nightmare for us, like a day dream. relief. and the giggles. the family that takes delsym together, feels better together. hi. i'm shannon storms bador. when we started selling my health products online our ipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation. now we're shipping out orders 5 tes faster and thanks tshipstation's discounted rates

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster.

let me bring you up to date. a massive multi-state storm system rolling towards the eastern united states. a tornado watch remains in effect for florida. sources tell cnn classified documents were found in former vice president mike pence's indiana home. lawmakers are calling for an investigation into how they ended up out of secure sites. a georgia prosecutor says decision is imminent on whether to bring criminal charges in donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. a judge is deciding whether to release the grand jury's report on their investigation. cnn's sara murray has the details. >> reporter: we're getting word the conclusions may be released by the georgia grand jury. they argued against the public release of that report referring multiple times needing to preserve the right of future defendants suggesting the grand jury may have suggested multiple

people face indictments. she also said charges in this case could be imminent. take a listen. >> at this time in the interest of justice and the rights of not the state but others, we are asking that the report not be released because you haven't seen that report. decisions are imminent. >> reporter: willis said this grand jury heard from 75 witnesses. we know that means trump attorney rudy giuliani. lindsey graham and kemp. there was a media coalition that included cnn that made the argument in court for the full report to be released publicly. a judge said he's not going to make any rash decisions when it comes to that because it's still unclear when or if the public will see the full report. sara murray, cnn, atlanta. the u.s. justice department

and eight states sued google accusing the tech juggernaut of har harming others against online advertising. >> for 15 years google has had manipulating auction mechanics and forcing advertisers and publishers to use its tools. >> google responded to the lawsuit in a statement saying doj is doubling down on the flawed argument that would slow innovation, raise tiesi adverti fees and make it harder to grow. the president of ticketmaster spent hours of questioning on tuesday.

>> it's safe to say the fans had a bloodbath with the company. matt egan has more. >> reporter: max and bianca, live nation got a good old-fashioned grilling in washington and notably this was a bipartisan backlash against how big and powerful the parent company of ticketmaster had become. this whole situation has already accomplished two things. one, it has shined a bright light on what is normally an arcane issue. the idea some companies are just too dominant. two, live nation has done the unthinkable, bridged the partisan divide in washington. listen to what senator richard bloo bloomenthal. >> i want to thank you for a stunning achievement. you have brought together republicans and democrats in an absolutely unified cause, un

unfort unfortunately, your approach is going to solidify that cooperation because as i hear and read what you have to say, it's basically it's not us. it's everyone but us. may i suggest respectfully that ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say, i'm the problem. it's me. >> reporter: if your' thinking that last line sounded familiar, your a right, it's from a taylor swift hit. remember last november millions of swift fans had trouble buying tickets from ticketmaster facing exorbitant prices, if they could even find tickets at all, and the site repeatedly crashed. now live nation tried its best to, as taylor swift would say, shake it off. the live nation president and cfo, he blamed the fiasco on

vox, scalpers and cyber attacks that flooded the system. he apologized and said the company learned some valuable lessons. now of course the question is what can be done? one idea that was floated during this hearing is that maybe the tickets could be made nontransferable. others say the real problem is competition or, rather, a lack of competition in this industry. it's possible that today's hearing gives the justice department ammo to file an antitrust lawsuit against live nation. one solution is to have the doj unwind the controversial 2010 merger between live nation and ticketmaster that created this ticketing bohemoth. basically undo the deal altogether. effectively the doj would be saying, i can't resist one more taylor swift, saying i knew you were trouble when you walked in. max and bianca?

>> i'd like to personally apologize for the amount of taylor swift puns in our recent coverage. still ahead, george santos says he was mugged in new york city and survived an assassination attempt. plus new zealand has a new prime minister. you have a new prime minister. many challenges ahead. because ririd-x is scientifically proven to brereak down septic waste. guaranteed.

the alleged incident didn't take place, but it draws further scrutiny of the claim made by santos who has already admitted to lying about key parts of his biography. another claim santos made in the interview that's raising eyebrows, that he survived an assassination attempt. >> reporter: we have suffered life attack, assassination attempt, threatening letter, having to have security guards standing in front of our house. >> reporter: but santos did not go into any further details or provide any corroborating details. in the same podcast santos suggested he was living comfortably, enough to make a pledge to donate his congressional salary to charity. he declined to answer questions about that vow on tuesday. >> you said you'd donate your salary. do you still intend to do that? >> reporter: the 34-year-old did say he would cooperate with an

upcoming house investigations. >> will you c cooperate? >> reporter: santos wasn't there. >> i just didn't have the time. >> reporter: what were you doing instead? >> constituent services. >> reporter: facing questions about future plans, including whether he'll run for re-election. >> wow, it's so early for that question. i just got here, guys. >> reporter: i asked him and his staff about the many claims he made in that podcast interview. despite my best efforts, did not get a response. meanwhile, the concerned citizens of new york 3, bipartisan group organized by a democrat, they are continuing to turn up the heat now calling on republican conference chair, elise stefanik, their fellow member, using their gop to push santos out. eva mckend, cnn, washington. new zealand's new prime minister is promising to tackle

distance himself from juc jucinda ardern. he calls this the biggest privilege and responsibility of my life. going back to basics, focusing on the economy, bread and butter issues addressing what he says is the pandemic of inflation which is hovering around 7%. in the end inflation, rising crime and inequality, the issue new zealand is talking about as to why the party has waned. they're trailing 32 to 37% in the polls. the shocking resignation last week citing she was burnt out. she had, excuse me, nothing left in the tank. political commentators say if she had gone to the polls and had sought re-election for a third term, she would have lost. before hipkins was sworn in,

jucinda addressed the pam saying this was the greatest honor of my life. she was the youngest prime minister. she had a baby in office. took her daughters to the u.n. general assembly. her handling of the terror attacks back in 2019 she did with grace, empathy and compassion. you know, she was a global icon. there is no doubt about it. an international star but, sadly, her style waned back home. chris hipkins has less than 9 months to turn around his party's fortunes. >> anna corinne in hong kong. thank you. nasa announces new tech that will help humans travel to mars. . start by cooking a lasagna. load your dishes. 24 hours later, when your dishwasher is full,l, let finish quantum clean your dishes. if the stains aren't gone, your lasagna is on finish.
