good thursday morning i'm erika hill. >> i'm jim sciutto. happening right now, house lawmakers on capitol hill receiving a closed door classified briefing on the chinese surveillance balloon. this as cnn has new reporting on when u.s. officials were first warned about the threat. all of it sparking sharp criticism on defense and intelligence officials who were not aware of the depth of that threat. live on capitol hill with the latest. plus, incredible stories of survival out of turkey, including an infant pulled from the rubble after 58 hours, small signs of hope there. rescue workers among so many things facing freezing temperatures, lack of water and power. the death toll hard to imagine. now surpassing 17,000.

cnn is on the scene. back here in the u.s. on the road again today. cue the 2024 election music. president biden headed to florida, where he is expected to drive home his pledge to protect social security and medicare. we have a preview of the trip ahead. we want to begin with the latest on the chinese spy balloon, jessica dean is on capitol hill, national security reporter natasha bertrand also with us with reporting. lawmakers, of course, wrapping up this classified briefing. what more do we know about what they may have learned? >> i was just down there jim and er erica, i talked to dan crenshaw of texas, a republican, asked what he could share. he said he didn't feel like he learned anything new from the briefing. there were nuances he learned. and i asked if it changed his thinking on this, he said no, his thinking remains the same. but that is just starting to break up so we'll hear from

lawmakers more. but they have been getting the believing this morning. the first of several big things on the capitol hill surrounding the topic. the full senate gets their briefing later this morning. so expecting to hear more from them once they learn more. and keeping an eye on a couple of hearings that will be happening in the foreign relations committee and subcommittee, the appropriations committee, looking at the spy balloon itself and u.s./china relations. you know lawmakers on both sides of the aisle wanted more information about this and have been talking about it since it happened. it's the first we're seeing of some of them getting the information from the administration and officials. >> the question is, are they learning this was more of a threat than they initially realized or communicated. nat natasha, you have new reporting this morning on what seems to have been an early warning about the approach of this balloon. what do we know and how concerned were they at this

time? >> reporter: essentially the day before the balloon entered the u.s. airspace, the defense intelligence agency, the intel arm of the pentagon, they sent what's known as a tipper. basically just a short classified report that is disseminated across government channels and flagged that a foreign object had been detected and it appeared to be headed towards the united states. now, this was not viewed as particularly urgent. as we know the u.s. has surveilled a number of these balloons in the past. they understand these are part of the surveillance program and they have never before posed a physical or military or national security threat to the united states as such. so this report was not briefed to the highest levels of the u.s. government. that president biden, for example, did not see it at the time. then what happened was as the balloon entered u.s. airspace over alaska, crossed into canada, it turned south and started going towards montana.

at that point officials said this is strange we haven't seen this before. and montana is home to a number of sensitive sites. so that is when concern started growing and we are told norad did send fighter jets up to make a positive identification of the balloon to see if it was what they believed it was, later on, on january 31st, president biden was briefed this balloon was over montana but the initial urgency was not there because they did not believe this posed a threat to the united states. >> the sense now -- i suppose this is what the briefing will be focussed on in part, this is part of something big eger and newer. thank you both. we are keeping a close watch on a system that's possible responsible for spawning three tornados because it's moving east. look at this footage here, captured yesterday in a louisiana parish that was under a tornado warning. >> one of our affiliates

captured -- well, what has become painfully familiar af aftermath considering the power of the storms. officials have been surveying the damage today. chad myers joins us now. is there more threat from this today? >> probably five times more threat yesterday than today and we had four tornados yet. so not the emphasis we saw yesterday but there will be some storms out there that could spin like this. likely an ef-1, possibly an ef-2, weather service will be out later today looking at what exactly happened. these are not strong structures in the first place here with wind reports of 18 reports of damage. they did block off things, did have damage on the ground and some of the areas in the city itself, not just the parish did receive some damage. we've seen things calm down here in the morning hours but that's expected. we expect those big storms to

fire up in the heat of the day, warmer part of the day. may be even some weather across the ohio valley, seeing wind reports from up there. could be lightning as well but probably not much seeing snow on the backside, as we talk about all the time with winter-type severe weather on the north side snow, south side severe weather, but high wind warnings posted here for parts of the great lakes with wind gusts 50 to 60 miles per hour. the day, we warm up the day, moving to all green, light rain by later on today we see color. and tomorrow we see more color. so there's the potential for some of these storms to put down some smallish events but we have to watch them because as we say it takes one in the wrong place. >> yeah. all it takes is one. that's for sure. chad, appreciate it. thank you. for the first time since monday's devastating earthquake a united nation's aid convoy has

been allowed to cross from turkey into syria. both countries facing a race against time to find survivors. the death toll has risen above 170,000 people. >> hundreds of thousands more people homeless as a result of the quake. and the survivors, they're facing freezing cold temperatures and devastated areas. still, there have been some small signs of hope, incredible rescues happening days later. this one an infant named helen, pulled from the rubble, rushed to the ambulance yesterday. here's chief correspondent nick paton walsh. >> reporter: some of the most densely populated areas. behind me here, multiple apartment blocks have been laid down and have, over the past hour or so, been bringing out the dead, laid in bags, some without them knowing who they

belong to and others with the words with owner written upon them and names. it is a grizzly and slow process we 'seeing happening all day. there was a brief moment of hope, we saw rescue workers rush towards one building, part of a street that the basement, first and second floor had been crushed but the buildings were still upright somehow. and in the crushed basement areas they found they had hoped an 8-year-old girl alive. her body brought out, her mother as well alive and discovered as they put her in the ambulance she had perished. moments of hope and anxiety when voices are heard sometimes in the rubble here. this vast city, some of the areas of which some buildings are fine and upright. others are tilting at an angle, others are demolished. and the anger here is acute. anger at the initial government response, the day or so in which

bad weather and lack of preparation meant they didn't get here. but a broader anger at the political culture of turkey saying people make money out of construction here, it's a big business and a business where there is corruption and clearly some buildings were built to regulation and others not. it is depressing in a city this size to see the scale of this kind of ruin everywhere. whole neighborhoods will have to be rebuilt and we will also sadly see the death toll continue to rise. jim, erica. >> it is just devastating when you see those pictures. appreciate the reporting there. i know so many of you want to help and there are ways that you can help the victims of the earthquake in turkey and syria. just log on to cnn.com/impact where you'll find an extensive list of vetted organizations. a bit later this hour, president biden taking his battle with republicans on the

u.s. believe the surveillance balloon was more advanced and more of a threat than initially thought? >> i can't talk about what was discussed. here's what i think i would take from that. i think the united states did exactly the right thing under these circumstances. and would probably understand a little bit more. i think in the final analysis we can and will learn from this. and the final situation i think our country will be safer as a result. >> do you believe or are you concerned at all that by waiting to shoot it down until after it left u.s. -- its position over the u.s. continent that that increased the danger at all. or are you confident the u.s. was able to mitigate the threat while it remained over u.s. territory. >> the pentagon told us they were able to mitigate in real time as this was taking place.

i think that's accurate. the concern they had as they expressed real time was the safety of u.s. citizens with something this large. they described it publically as something three times larger than a bus. anywhere that falls was such a huge debris pile creates risk. what we said previous, as this was happening, was the fact that it was shot down over water gives you perhaps a greater opportunity to collect and maintain an intact system and again we want to learn from what they were using. >> there's been a lot of hard questions about whether this was deliberate, on the part of the cha neez president, to send this surveillance balloon on the eve of a summit with the u.s. secretary of state. do you believe this was intentional? >> as you and i talked real

time, this made no sense. most collection is covert, cloak and dagger trying to keep things quiet. this was an intelligence collecting device as a brass band driving down main street, no way you're going to hide this. it comes at a time when you're trying to normalize relations. secretary blinken was about to meet with his counterpart. so i raised the question then it didn't make sense and perhaps this was someone forcing the chinese president's hand on this. but it doesn't make any sense. i'm concerned of what it means long term, the divisions within the government but certainly something to be investigated. >> the u.s. flies surveillance aircraft, crewed and uncrewed, around chinese airspace, but

china said it reserves the right to act in a similar way. and by the way, there are parts of that part of the world, including the south china sea where -- >> i am. and particularly because the chinese government has been very aggressive. as you know, they're building islands to excerpt what areas they claim they have control over. there have been very aggressive tactics by the chinese military toward u.s. military and we have to be aware of that. so look, this is an escalation at the worst possible time. tensions were already high over issues like taiwan to tiktok to so many other things. sw we are well aware of the extraordinary aggression that china has taken. in chicago, someone was sentenced in january to spying for the chinese government.

going after our technology. so clearly, this isn't a wake up call. we're well aware of it. to me it is some odd situation that highlights these issues. but it's still inexplicable for its timing and manner. >> final question before we go. after this briefing. are you more concerned about the threat from this surveillance balloon and others than you were prior? >> in some respects i'm equally concerned but i'm more confident that we can address these issues. i think in the final analysis we have learned a great deal about this, and how to mitigate against this, and what kind of capabilities that do exist. so look, very concerned about chinese hard surveillance and spying on our country. that's an ongoing threat. this particular incident, while deeply troubling and a violation of our sovereignty that needs to be treated as such. it may be in the end a gain for

us and understanding how they operate. >> congressman mike quigley thank you for taking the time this morning. >> thank you. very soon president biden expected to leave the white house for florida to tout his administration's legislative wins as he prepares to launch his likely re-election campaign. >> as he's doing that, the president is sharpening his message against the gop, here's what he told pbs news hour about the republican lawmakers who booed and heckled him during his state of the union address. >> did you expect that kind of reaction? >> from the folks who did it, i was. the vast majority of the republicans weren't that way. but, you know, there's a -- there's still a significant element of what i call the maga republicans, the make america great again republicans. and it's -- you know, i didn't -- i kind of anticipated it. but there were a lot of -- the speaker was gracious and so was -- there were a lot of

members. >> cnn's mj lee is joining us from the white house. interesting he referenced maga republicans with judy woodruff but did not reference them on tuesday night. many people were wondering if he would after apparently kevin mccarthy advised against it. what do we expect to hear from the president today? >> reporter: we are going to see the president do a continuation of his post state of the union travel blitz traveling down to florida as you said and fo focussing on social security, medicare, and other health care issues. the issue we've been talking about has been a fascinating one to watch politically as we saw tuesday night when the president accused republicans in that address of trying to make cuts to medicare and social security, you saw how rowdy it got. republican members heckling the president, calling him a liar. and this issue has become a top issue when the talks have already begun on whether to

raise the debt ceiling. we know that house speaker kevin mccarthy who has not put a specific proposal on the table yet. the one thing that he has committed to is there will not be any cuts that he would agree to on social security and medicare. so white house officials are saying this is an issue they believe is getting on the nerves of republicans. and just for the president's visit down to florida today. we should note this is a very intentional choice, it is not a mistake that they are choosing a state where they really think is very ripe for this kind of white house messaging. this is a state with a lot of seniors living in it. and it happens to be the home state of senator rick scott, who has become the favorite foe of the white house, including because he has proposed a program and an idea where all federal legislation would sunset after five years, unless congress were to reapprove it. so in so many ways the president

has been rerlentless in going after senator scott. we expect his name is going to come up, this idea is going to come up when he travels down there today. and in the big picture this isn't just about rick scott. we believe that the president balis believes this is going to be the important political contrast he can draw between democrats and republicans as he prepares for the announcement. >> mj, thank you. joining me fran chez a chambers and jackie cue sen itch. if we pick up where mj left off, this is an intentional choice by the president to go to florida, not just because of yes, there's the rick scott part of it all, there's a number of seniors there. we're seeing him go to florida after we saw what happened in

the midterms. we know florida has been more difficult for many ways in democrats. does he see this social security issue perhaps opening the door a little bit more there? >> it seems -- i mean, clearly. which is why you're hearing that message from the president, from other democrats relentlessly. this is why mitch mcconnell immediately disavowed this when rick scott released it before the midterm elections, because this is such an issue the democrats really can cling onto. and you've seen rick scott push back against this but it's hard to do when members of his own party were walking away from this. when biden said he expected the republicans to react like they did at the state of the union or some republicans, the white house was hoping that this would be their reaction. and it was bait. let's be real here. they got what they wanted, because they knew this would be triggers. >> despite the white house saying we couldn't have scripted it better if we tried, there may

have been a little bit of scripting in there. you have reporting about biden's efforts to win back blue collar voters moving into 2024. how much is he changing his message? >> well, we heard him in the state of the union and over the last couple of days start to talk a little bit more about how these are people who feel like they were forgotten by the democratic party. and they have started to vote more republican. they were traditionally democratic voters but you saw them in 2016 vote for donald trump, and you saw more of them in 2020 vote for joe biden but they see it as a very important demographic group headed into the 2024 election. yesterday he went to wisconsin, you saw him last week in pennsylvania. so he's keying in on this specific voter group with his economic message and his state of the union was largely focused on that economic message. so a key problem for them that he's trying to address. >> certainly is. as we look at republicans, and

we look towards 2024, nikki haley seems to be inching towards some sort of announcement here about her own bid for the white house. what are her chances of securing the nomination? donald trump of course the only other republican to officially throw his hat in the ring? >> erica, my crystal ball broke several years ago. when it comes to 2024 predictions, but, you know, she's certainly trying to harness a lane you see several people don't necessarily want to walk away from the former president, want to take some of his posts and repurpose them for their own run kind of the trump light lane. it's going to be crowded this time. seeing several republicans trying to run. she's going to have some competition. we'll see how it plays out, but i am out of the prediction

business. >> you know what works well, a magic eight ball. it's -- i have to say. >> yeah. >> sorry to put you on the spot like that, my friend. when we look at what could potentially be playing out on the republican side if nikki haley makes that announcement, say she's the first of more than one to challenge the former president. i would imagine, this i feel good about without a crystal ball or magic eight-ball but the biden team is looking at this as a win for them. if there can be some sort of chaos, in quotes, or more people running on the republican side, that helps the democrats. >> and democrats say they don't see a need for joe biden to make an announcement right now while you have republicans who are jockeying for this position, nikki haley expected to announce next week. you have, as you were noting, current dpgovernors, former

governors who could also potentially get in in the next couple months. so all of that on the republican side as you're noting. they're waiting to see how the field shakes out, and how those people might be inspiring matches with former president donald trump. but i want to make a key point on nikki haley and these other republicans as well. they're really starting to zero in on foreign policy messages. not just because of what happened recently with china but a former u.n. ambassador, christy norman, another potential candidate, and she's focused on china. it's important to watch how ever candidate is positioning on these important topics. still ahead the ukrainian president told european leaders this morning that he needs fighter jets to defend his country and stop russia's invasion. could he get them? we'll have more coming up. creat?

right now in brussels, ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, meeting face-to-face with eu leaders part of what is a second trip outside of ukraine since the start of the russian invasion nearly a year ago. >> this morning zelenskyy made a passionate plea for membership to the eu parliament and asking for more guns and tanks and fighter jets. joining us is nic robertson live in usle t brussels this morning. he was in the uk yesterday now speaking with the eu and

continuing the push for more aid. any indication on whether it will come their way? >> he's been pressed on that in the press sconference he had conversations here in brussels and in france and the uk, he said i can't tell you what assurances and agreements i've had in those meetings but i can tell you they're pozty, obviously he wants longer range rockets and fighter jets. he said he got some traction from the british on the longer range rockets. and i think what he's hinting at here is the conversations about jets are going well behind the scenes, not as fast as he wants. there's a sense here that the coming weeks and months are absolutely critical. they're going to be pivotal in the war, we've heard that a lot. but this was a day he got to

speak to the 705 member european parliament. got to speak to the 27 european yuan yunion leaders all face-to-face. and try to connect with european people because of course that's what under pins the political support that he needs and ukraine needs going forward. when he was answering the question from one of the ukrainian journalists he said, i can't go back home without getting something, without getting progress. i think what he was hinting at here was he was getting the support. where he was sort of strongest today i sense that was the parliament where he was speaking to the european people and he talked about ukrainian having the same values as the european union, russia not having those values and he said the ukrainians are coming home to europe, that really resonated here. and that's part of his path to getting those weapons. >> i'm sure russia was listening

to that message as well. nic robertson thanks very much. with me to discuss retired army brigadier general mark hem met. i want to discuss with you, signs that russia may have begun the long-anticipated spring offensive. >> the very highly respected institute of study of war suggests that the russians are starting an attack up north from bakhmut, they seem to have put a number of divisions in. questionable how strong they are, how tough the ukrainians will be in slowing them down. it doesn't look like they'll achieve a major break through, if any at all. >> officials have been warning colleagues in europe about this prospect here. when i speak to folks on the u.s. military side they expressed doubts that russia can

have the man power and equipment to make this successful. would you share that assessment? >> i would. and when you whear zelenskyy asking for more missiles i hope what they're using them is for logistical routes, the command and control networks that are critical and essential to making any kind of offensive work. >> a lot of attention on tanks but they're going. it's going to take weeks to months to get there. now the talk is jets. are those essential for ukraine to defend itself in your view and the timing and the delays, is that an issue down the road as opposed to today? >> i don't think the tanks or the jets will have an affect on the battlefield prior to the summer, if even that quickly. what i'm most concerned about is bringing in jets because the

russians could bring in their s400 air defense system, the most powerful in the world and that could diminish, if not take away the value of the jets coming in. >> two other topics if i can. briefing about the chinese spy balloon on the hill today. it does appear, most of it is classified, that at least the balloon was more of a threat, more capable than initially assessed? not just the balloon itself but a network of balloons china is using. >> it's not a direct threat but it has the capability to improve the picture that china has. probably has better photographic capability than satellites and can probably pick up signals, intelligence, our communications from that height. it is an intelligence concern and i hope that the administration and the department of defense is taking action to counter act these in

the future. >> they said they have been able to mitigate. final question, north korea showed off a solid fuel missile yesterday during a parade. seems to be an advance in technology. when you saw the images do they concern you? >> not immediately in the long term but the fact he's continuing this program he says he's going to have an increase in the number of missiles. we need to keep an eye on this. you know the situation in east asia better than anyone in the building -- >> a few years ago, talking about the prospect of a nuclear north korea being catastrophic, we're there. general, thanks so much. >> sure. just ahead, sizable layoffs from two new companies being announced. how those line up with the economic forecast presented by president biden.
