. a warm welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm bianca nobilo. >> and i'm max foster. just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> we are sadly now into the window where so many of the ambulances will likely be taking people who perished. i hate to disappoint you, but the biden economic plan is working. this is a blue collar blueprint to rebuild america. responsible nation would have put out some kind of statement saying head's up, this is heading your way. just want to let you know.

it is thursday, february 9. in turkey and syria, the death toll is now more than 16,000. rescue crews are getting desperate to find survivors. >> in northern syria, there are mountains of rubble. officials in damascus say close to 300,000 people have been forced from their homes. this video shows a crew working to clear debris despite limited resources. >> and white helmets are digging mass graves for the victims. the syrian government wants international sanctions lifted so humanitarian aid can be brought in. >> and president recep tayyip erdogan is expected to visit more of the quake zone today to defend his government's response to the disaster. wednesday he admitted some initial shortcomings but now

says the situation is under control. >> and rescue workers are still finding survivors. two sisters were pulled from the debris in southern turkey yesterday, 62 hours after the quake hit. and rescuers working around the clock were finally able to save a baby, this baby, from a collapsed building. let's go live to istanbul. salma abdelaziz, there are some positive heroic stories coming out, but obviously as time ticks on, so much concern particularly about the areas that aren't getting aid. >> reporter: we are now entering the fourth day of this massive humanitarian crisis. and absolutely now that clock, that hope, that there could still be people alive under the rubble, i think that is absolutely fading. and instead, there is this sense of anger and grief setting into these areas. i just want to explain the scope and scale of this disaster. you are talking about nearly

16,000 people killed. some 60,000 people almost wounded, needing medical care. and you have this disaster zone which is the size of the state of nebraska, a huge area that turkish authorities simply could not reach all across, they could not fan out across all of the spaces. and the result is that we saw families huddled in the cold without access to food, to water, to shelter. and of course more harrowing were the stories of families that could hear their relatives under the rubble but did not have any emergency workers, did not have heavy earth-moving equipment to actually rescue their loved ones. and it is these terrifying tales that are adding to that sense of grief, of anger, of frustration with the turkish government. you mentioned president erdogan did admit to shortcomings, but that won't be enough for the people on the ground. one thing to note here is that

turkey has expected earthquakes. yes, this is an unprecedented disaster, one of the strongest to hit the region in 100 years, but the turkish people to pay a tax and that is part of the reason why people are angry, they pay a tax to the government in the expectation that there are plans in place for when an earthquake happens. and so people are trying to hold president erdogan to account here. and maybe one sign is that this dissent is being reacted to or these reports that social media accounts were inaccessible for a time particularly during his visit to that region. yes now we have that international aid pouring in across the areas, but just imagine the scope and scale of this disaster, how many people need help. it is absolutely enormous. >> salma, thank you. u.s. president is heading to florida today where he will discuss plans to protect and

strengthen medicare and social security while lowering health care costs. >> and president biden pointed out that some republicans are supporting lowering these costs. and he seems to be using the moment to his advantage. >> okay, we got a deal. well, i sure hope that is true. i'll believe it when i see it. their budget is laid down with the cuts that they are proposing. but it looks like we negotiated a deal last night on the floor of the house. >> president biden is also taking his social safety net plans to florida. phil mattingly explains. >> reporter: there are two real primary reasons why this is one of the early post "state of the union" post travel destinations. the message and the foils. you saw it live and in person and the exchange that the president had back and forth with republicans off script on the issues of medicare and social security. you talk to white house

advisers, they make clear there are no two issues that pop more in theirle forring than defending medicare and social security, more state where that is more important given the state of the population over the age of 65 and the two representatives that represent the contrast that president biden wants to detail, rick scott and ron desantis who he was citing in that speech. and they say we want this fight, we relish this fight. that fight will certainly be brought to the table by the president as you saw in the st"state of the union" and in wisconsin. but take a look at the travel the president and vice president in these first two days. one state is not like the other. the president going to wisconsin and then florida, the vice president going to georgia and to minnesota. three of those four states are critical to any electoral path for the president in 2024. florida is not one of them and white house officials are candid when they say they are not expecting it to swing dra dramatically back toward

democrats, but they know this s a perfect place to lay out that message on social security and medicare and to have foils. they say we like foils, there are no better foils in politics than ron desantis and rick scott. again white house officials make sure florida is not necessarily a political winner for them, but on the message and politicians they believe it is, that is why he is going down there when you talk to them about what happened last night, the back and forth with republicans, as one official put it, we didn't plan for that, but republicans walked right into the trap. chaos and extremes. i asked if that is how they viewed desantis and scott, and they said the most chaos, the most extreme. >> in the coming hours the u.s. house is set to vote on china's use of suspected spy balloons over u.s. territory. >> and this is as the president discussed the country's relationship with china. while both have remarked on how

this raises tensions, president biden believes that nothing has changed. >> are relations now between the u.s. and china taken a big hit frankly? >> no. no. any word leader would change places with xi jinping? i can't think of one. this man has enormous problems. >> and stay tuned later for a live report for china's reaction to the dispute. officials from southwest airlines will be on capitol hill today to explain what played out behind the scenes during the company's holiday travel fiasco. >> a top executive and pilots union chief set to testify. the union chief is expected to say the company's operation system was held together by duct tape and all the technology failures were predictable and

avoidable. president zelenskyy has arrived in brussels. >> earlier he was seen leaving france alongside french president macron after a surprise visit to paris on wednesday. and our correspondents are tracking all of the developments. we have claire sebastian and nic robertson. nic, what are we learning about president zelenskyy's itinerary while he is in brussels? >> reporter: he will be addressing the 27 european union leaders, that is expected this morning. it seems quite likely although not entirely that he will address the european parliament, a much bigger gathering of course. and he will have a one-on-one bilateral with the italian prime minister. and i think that everyone here is expecting his message to be pretty much as it has been over the past 24 hours in the uk and in paris last night, and that is that we need your help,

specifically right now we need longer range weapons. there were hints that that may come from the uk. and we need fighter jets. there has been greater resistance to that. but president zelenskyy sees himself as the person that can help change that narrative and move that narrative along as he has done with getting tanks, with getting air defense systems, with getting armored vehicles. all those sorts of things. and so his message is typically very fine tuned for the audience in front of him, a broader audience today. but really, and i think that we got a sense of this last night from what president zelenskyy said about the support he got from germany and france, that they can be game changers. and speaking as i did with the defense minister over estonia, the concern is for many of the leaders gathering here, if zelenskyy doesn't get what he wants now and quickly, then the war bogs down into extended

trench warfare over many years. and that is not he would argue in the best interests of the eu leaders either. >> thank you, nic. clare, what does he want the jets for? the concern is that if he uses them over russia territory presumably. >> this is one of the reasons why you see so many concerns about the training and maintenance and all of that. but i think the question is also why now. there is a lot of concern in ukraine that russia could be regrouping for some kind of spring offensive. we're seeing reports coming out of places like kharkiv and the border of taking shelling. and officials in donetsk region have reported accumulation of russian troops, that they might be stockpiling rep weweapons in area. and so there is concern of that

happening. and a broader arsenal could help with air defense, they could help with hitting behind enemy lines and attack russian planes as well. and it would certainly help ukraine modernize its military, moving away from soviet e.rra weapons. so this is about defending their lines and pushing russia out of the country. >> okay. thank you. and interesting as well that president zelenskyy's overseas trips kept underwraps for many reasons, but primarily his own security. and actually the european peoples party tweeted that they were looking forward to welcoming zelenskyy this week. and then hastily deleted it. so all the plans were on the verge of being scuffered. and we had a response and they

criticized his theatrical performance aimed at preparing the western public for upcoming discussions. >> and entirely untrue. i mean, there are fears to what he does and he was teasing ahead. didn't he say i want to thank you preemptively for the jets. >> yeah, he did. and that got laughs in westminster hall. but as always, russia threatens escalatory actions whenever zelenskyy is procuring more from the west because that is exactly what they don't want. because the more support they get, more likely that they will win. >> and we'll be following his visit today. still to come, new details in the tyre nichols murder investigation, what we're learning about the former police officers involved. and plus missiles on parade, north korea rolls out what is being called an unprecedented number of ballistic missiles thought to be capable of hitting the u.s. and plus storms and possible tornadoes across the southeast.

for the last 24 hours, unfortunately we've had several reports of severe weather including tornado reports, that threat continues today. i'll let you know where, coming up. en you can switch to air wick essential mist? it's the modern way to transform fragrance infused with n natural essential oils into a mist. air wick essential mist. connect to nature. hi. i'm wolfgang puck when i started my online store wolfgang puck home i knew there would be a lot of orders to fill and i wanted them to ship out fast that's why i choseshipstation reduce shiing costs that's why i choseshipstation and print out shipping labels it's my secret ingredient shipstation the number 1 choice of online sellers and wolfgang puck go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free

a number of tornadoes were reported across the southeast wednesday as severe storms ripped through the region. >> this is some of the damage left behind near new orleans where officials say three people were injured. flash flood warnings were posted earlier for parts of louisiana and southern mississippi. >> this video captured what looks to be a tornado north of new orleans. the storms were part of a system that stretches all the way to near the canadian border. for more, let's bring in britley ritz. tell us what is going on and what people need to look out for. >> more tornadoes unfortunately are the case today once again, holding on to the threat along with the wind and hail threat. not as great today as it once was, but still holding on to those threats. so we need to pay attention to

that. this area of low pressure is spinning over the northwest. noticing the colder air behind it, but again focusing on that line moving through the southeast today already bringing in not only the threat of severe weather but flooding. some of these areas picked up 1 to 2 inches per hour, estimated rainfall totals showing you across parts of arkansas, nearly 4 inches of rain and more to come as that line pushes eastward for the southeast. not only flooding and severe weather threat, but the winds across the tennessee valley and up into ohio valley. high wind warnings through the ohio valley where guests could reach 60 miles per hour. and there are winter weather advisories in place and cedar rapids could get another 3 to 6 inches of snowfall just today. and there is that front moving eastward the next 24 hours bringing in the threat of severe weather for your thursday across

parts of the florida panhandle and parts of the southeast on up into the ohio valley where we're seeing areas highlighted in green. and an isolated tornado, not as great as it once was, but still holding the threats there. and the area of low pressure continues to press to the north and east. the front sags south and we hold on to that threat rolling in it our friday in the evening. so you will see that area highlighted in red, that includes southern georgia, back into south carolina and northern part of florida. same threats, damaging winds, small amounts of hail, and then isolated tornadoes. and, yes, even that flooding threat will hold all the way through the end of the week. >> britley ritz, thank you. and in east palestine ohio, an evacuation order has been lifted in the area where the train derailed on friday. the fire chief says the area was deemed safe after officials received the results of air and

water samples. this new drone video shows what is left of the wreckage that burned of course for days. former police officers charged with murdering tyre nichols are due to appear in court next week. ahead of their arraignment, we're learning what one told investigators about the night of the deadly beating. nick valencia reports. >> reporter: this newly obtained sworn affidavit represents the first account to emessage of what one of the officers involved in tyre nichols' death had to tell investigators. and in it justin smith alleges that he actually tried to help nichols, he says that he called for medical help prior to getting on the scene because of reports of pepper spray and tarz being used. the affidavit comes from a disciplinary hearing in january and it ultimately says that smith was fired for unnecessary use of force and also failing to provide aid to nichols despite being a certified emt. look, these newly obtained documents represent all sorts of revelations here including the lengths that officers went to

try to cover up their actions alleging that they tried to either turn off their cameras or obscure their cameras, that they laughed after beating nichols, and that they misled investigators with contradictory statements. it is clear that the fallout from what happened to nichols continues here in memphis. nick valencia, cnn, memphis. and north korea has been showing off its advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles. nearly a dozen were on display during a massive military parade only weeks after kim jung-un called for an exponential increase in his country's nuclear arsenal. >> and state media also published imams of the north korea leader's young daughter described as beloved. >> paula hancocks is covering this live in seoul. a lot of people saying that she is being grobeing groomed as hi successor. >> reporter: that is the speculation that is fueling

every time that we see her. this is the fifth known public event that this daughter who is believed to be named kim ju-ae, maybe 9 or 10 years old, all military related. and we have images from state run media, they say it was a military parade wednesday night, they are just now starting to air live the footage of what happened. and we did see kim jung-un with his daughter and wife walking up a red carpet surrounded by military coming to see this military parade. so it is significant. it is the first time we've seen a child of one of the leaders actually going to this kind of event. looking at the event itself, the takeaways that we have so far are the fact that they have so many icbms, intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are incapable of hitting mainland united states. and the other thing that experts have come away with as well is the fact that there appears to be a mockup of a solid fuel

icbm, this as opposed to a liquid fuel. so it would be easier and quicker for the north koreans to be able to set up a launch and it is mobile. and of course that makes it far more difficult for the u.s. or south korea to be able to track it. so what we're seeing at this point is what kim jung-un has been consistently saying that he wants a bigger and better nuclear arsenal, that he wants to have more icbms, he wants the solid fuel technology. it appears that that is going in the right direction as far as north korea is concerned. and the threat is growing certainly when you see the shear number of icbms that they have, that they have certainly been ramping up production experts say in recent months and years. now, of course what we're seeing at this point is all shown by north korea state run media. there is no free media there showing anything other than what they want us to see. but certainly the takeaways are that what kim jung-un has been

saying he wants to do with his five year military plan that he started two years ago, he is doing exactly that and he is ticking off his wish list of improving his weapons, his missile and nuclear capabilities. >> paula in seoul, thank you. and still ahead, the mission to rescue and help earthquake survivors grows more urgent three days after the disaster in turkey and syria. and plus u.s. and nato officials are speaking out on the chinese balloon incident, but beijing is calling it part of the i information. neuriva plusus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to h help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger.

welcome back to "cnn

newsroom." i'm bianca nobilo. >> and i'm max foster. we see live pictures of the european parliament, you can see president zelenskyy has just arrived there, he is being welcomed. will he speak or not, that is the question. >> he is expected to speak and we'll find out in the coming minutes time. but right now, ukrainian national anthem is playing which we understand he has been singing on to. >> part of a european tour pushing for fighter jets off the back of his successful campaign to get tanks exported from europe, parts of europe over to ukraine. he also wants these fighter jets. and he got a pretty positive response from the brits. >> and i think there is more unity in the british parliament which has taken a trailblazing approach to supplying ukraine with lethal aid. and president zelenskyy is expressing his fwragratitude an obviously his hopes. >> and britain will need support

of allies to supply the jets. so probably what this visit is about. president biden is heading to florida where he will push his economic plans including strengthening social safety net programs such as social security, medicare. and the death toll in monday's earthquake that hit turkey and syria has passed 16,000. rescue workers are working against the clock to find any remaining survivors. >> and turkey and syria still waiting for help to arrive three days after the earthquake. >> and syrian government says it has set up more than 100 shelters with aid supplies and turned dozens of mosques into relief centers. state media report nearly 300,000 people have been displaced and those areas are under government control. >> and officials at the only border crossing between the two countries say that they are expecting the first convoy of aid to cross into syria by midday. >> and president and founder of u.s. based disaster relief

nonprofit global empowerment mission is joining us from kyiv where he's been overseeing the team's response efforts to turkey. thank you so much for joining us. criticism coming through of the turkish government not having any plans in place for events like this, not managing the coordination effort properly. what has been your experience of that? >> i have exact opposite experience. we've been working with the consulate and we made a partnership with turkish airlines. we have a warehouse in miami that is about 60,000 square feet. and every single day now for the last two days, hundreds of palates are being transported from the airports. and they have railroaded lived lived -- already arrived in istanbul

and we've had multiple distributions. >> and we're into now day four after the devastating earthquake or series of earthquakes and aftershocks. how does the relief and aid urgently required change as the days go on? >> well, it is cold, so enormous amounts of blankets. sheltering is key right now, which is basically bedding, sheltering, food, everything for a shelter. and then as it evolves, i mean, we have a lot of experience in earthquakes. we spent the first year in haiti after the 2010 earthquake. and this is a very large scale. i mean, when we were dealing with surfside in miami, imagine all the attention around surfside, that was one building with 100 casualties. and this is basically that multiplied by i would say 10,000. everywhere you look, there is a surfside of a building collapse with people trying to be rescued. and so the survivors will need to relocate and get new housing

and new places. they will have to get back on their feet. and then it is just going to be a very long process. so we've already set up infrastructure, because you need large infrastructure to respond to this. if you see in the background, this is in our kyiv operations, we have whole multitude of operations going on simultaneously here the last year. so we have to set that up at the port in turkey. and then this way we're able to have kind of a pipeline of constant aid flowing for the next year to be able to properly respond. >> the building you were dealing with in surfside was very different, wasn't it. i'm hearing that you are really getting a sense of how these buildings in turkey just weren't ready to withhold a shock like this even though it is an earthquake zone. >> in all my experience, this is by far the worst natural disaster that i've seen in my

lifetime. it is -- the scale of it is unbelievable and the piles of rubble don't even look like rubble, they look like sand. it looks like everything just broke. sometimes we're hearing that some of these buildings got both earthquakes. so like half of it crumbled and then the other half turned to dust after that. so it has been quite a lot for these people. and we're also trying to figure out the situation with helping syria, which is not easy right now due to the circumstances to actually get aid in there. so right now we're limited to only supplying turkey, but we'll find ways to help syria too. >> michael kaponi, thank you very much indeed. incredible work. against odds of course. if you want to help the victims, visit global empowerment mission.org and also cnn.com/impact. initial report on a suspected chinese spy balloon

drifting towards the u.s. air space wasn't originally marked as urgent. and this has drawn ire from republican lawmakers already unhappy with how long it took for the u.s. president's order to shoot it down. here is what the pentagon had to say about the incident. >> i can assure you this was not for civilian purposes. that is -- we are 100% clear about that. based on what we know and have se observed, it was an intelligent collection capability. you know, a question i would ask myself is if in fact it was a civilian balloon, a weather balloon and it was approaching a sovereign nation about to enter their air space, a responsible nation would have put out some kind of public statement saying hey, head's up, this is heading your way, just want to let you know. prc did not to that. they did not respond until after they were called out. >> and on wednesday the director

general met with the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken who says that china's actions are clear violation of international law. >> now japan is investigating whether a similar object seen in their air space the last two years were chinese origin as well. >> and kristie lu stout is joining us from hong kong with more. wha one of the elements that confuses me, simultaneously, we're having reports that possibly many of these balloons could have been missed by countries around the world but also that china may have intended to send a message to the united states with this airship or surveillance balloon to indicate that they are not going to shy away from competition. what is your assessment? >> reporter: in china ministry of foreign affairs briefing did address that and all the assertions you laid out from the u.s. state department as well as the pentagon. and they also addressed the

interview job gave to pbs news hour in which he said that the shooting tdown of the balloon dd not make the their relations worse. but a lot dispute that and they don't see a window of opportunity opening up near term for reset. earlier today at the ministry of foreign affairs briefing, we heard the spokeswoman again insist that this chinese balloon was a civilian aircraft that blew off course, the united states of course disputes that saying that this is spy crafts and not only that, part of a wider chinese military surveillance operation that spans multiple continents with the pentagon saying that they have 100% certainty this was not just a weather balloon. i want to show you the statement we received from the ministry of foreign affairs just a couple hours ago in response to what we've been hearing from the u.s. overnight. correspond to the spokesman, she says the u.s. claims it was a part of a fleet of aircraft, i

don't know that, i think this is the information of public opinion warfare against china, the international community can see who is the largest spy surveillance country. a rather bold and unsubstantiated claim from beijing there. back to you. >> kristie lu stout, thank you. it is dibtsfficult for thes events not to inflame tensions especially after reports that moscow has briefed 40 nations about the peaotential surveillae programs. it ratchets up the rhetoric. >> absolutely. and it was when that meeting came about, this massive briefing, it has been happening to you as well. but we haven't had much information about that briefing. but certainly the allies as it were are on alert about these balloons. u.s. house of representatives is scheduled to be briefed on china today and the house speaker says it is okay with a controversial

congressman attending the classified briefing despite being caught in a web of lies actually. george santos has been busy defending himself after an exchange with republican senator mitt romney in the lower part of the screen who told him he didn't belong in congress. that tense encounter went down right before the "state of the union." >> it is not the first time in history that i've been told to shut up and go to the back of the room especially by people who come from a privileged background. and it is not going to bes last and i'm never going to shut up and go to the back of the room and i think it is reprehensible that the senator would say that to me. it wasn't very mormon of him. >> sab toesntos is calling grow lies to resign. one fellow republican called him a sociopath. eva mccann picks up the story. >> reporter: the spate of lies from freshman congressman george

santos have done more than anger his constituents. it is also raising serious questions about why santos constantly lies. >> when we're talking about pathological lying, and a clear cut example in the headlines every day. >> reporter: christian hart directs the human deception laboratory at texas woman's university. what is a pathological liar? >> one who has a mal adaptive pattern of lying. the person tends to lie excessively, telling the lies typically cause a lot of problems in their life. problems with relationships, problems in the workplace, sometimes legal problems. >> reporter: among santos' lies that have been exposed in the months following his election include -- >> i actually went to school on a volleyball scholarship. my mom was a 9/11 survivor. high

my fwrand pgrandparents survive hole doss. i founded my own foundation.dos. i founded my own foundation. >> people don't lie at random. they believe that there won't be repercussions for their lying. and then also they can somehow morally justify their lying or prove to themselves that they are still an okay person. >> i've listened an honest live, i've never been accused of any bad doing.live, i've never been accused of any bad doing. >> reporter: without meeting him he can't diagnose him, but he says it says something -- >> when there appears to be a life long pattern associated with it, i'd say certainly he seems to be the type of person who is engages in pathological lying. >> reporter: there was this moment at the "state of the union" address where senator romney approached him and he didn't seem poll geapologetic a actual. >> we see this pattern where

people with anti-social personality disorders. and in those cases what we find is those people are extremely comfortable manipulating, using and exploiting people and they do so with very little guilt or shame and tend not to have remorse. >> reporter: and hart says for those that are pathological liars, it is not so easy to tee te tee tekts. >> it is opt wnly when we look the evidence that it was a lie. >> reporter: eva mcken, cnn, washington. rain jacket is the focus of a double murder trial. still ahead, how prosecutors are trying to collect gun residue to alex murder you today you today o murdaugh. and an arrest in the monkeys stolen from a zoo. unlike some others, airborne g gives you vitamin c and so much more. it's an 8 in 1 immune support formula.
