georgia. we'll look at what that means. the u.s. and china meet face-to-face at the munich security conference for the first time since that suspected spy balloon was shot down. we're live from munich and from asia with the latest. and why one environmental health expert says it's best to, quote, stay away from the area after the train derailment in east palestine, ohio. after a series of short hospital stays, former u.s. president jimmy carter has decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care. those words part of a statement issued saturday by the carter center about the 98-year-old former president. cnn's jeff zeleny has more from washington. >> reporter: former president jimmy carter, america's longest-living president at age 98, is now in hospice care.

saturday afternoon the carter center, his presidential library and museum in atlanta, announcing that the former president would be spending his days in plains, georgia. they acknowledged after a series of brief hospital stays, he is going to be spending his time in plains, that small town about two hours south of atlanta. really where he spent his entire life with the exception of his service in the military and his four years here in washington serving as the nation's 39th president. he has had many health scares over the years, and he has overcome them again and again. brain cancer, other maladies. but this is a different moment, we're told. he is in hospice care but his life is an extraordinary one. his post-presidency certainly spanning nearly a half century including building houses with habitat for humanity, traveling around the world to fight hunger issues, to push for democracy issues. he is a member of a very unique club here in the united states, the former presidents club. if you take a look at these

images from the time when barack obama was sworn into office in january 2009, you see that former president jimmy carter is standing a bit off to the side with former presidents bush, clinton, barack obama. that is a metaphor for how he was, apart from this presidents club. he marched to his own drummer, did his own work, did not live in the elite circles that many former presidents do. he went back to plains, georgia, lived in the same home where he and rosalynn, his wife of over 75 years, lived. and they did their own work. so his legacy certainly is a strong one. if you walked through the carter center in atlanta, that really comes to life. the work that he has done really in all corners of the globe is extraordinary. the jimmy carter in hospice care, we're learning on saturday. president biden was alerted to this. he's very close to the former president and the white house is keeping in close contact, we're told, with the carter family.

some of us have heard the term hospice care, but we may be not sure exactly what that involves. listen now to cnn medical analyst dr. lena nguyen. she has a more fulsome explanation of what it entails. >> hospice care is a specialized type of medical care that is focused on ensuring comfort. so it focuses on reducing physical pain and also caring for someone's psychological needs, spiritual needs, with an interdisciplinary team of providers. generally people who qualify for hospice care are people near the end of their life, life expectancy of less than six months, individuals who have an incurable medical condition also. this is not about giving up on medical care, but rather, it's tending to the individual, tending to their caregivers, tending to their family. and it's a type of care i think

that's really heavily underi underit'sized. there are a lot more people who qualify and would benefit from it, in this case i'm sure that it was a difficult but important decision that the former president and his family made. >> president carter's grandson, meantime, says his grandfather is "at peace wigs with his decision to turn to hospice care." jason carter tweeted his grandparents' home is full of love. georgia's secretary of state, brad raffensperger, tweeted, our prayers are with the carter family at this time. may they find peace in all that president carter has contributed throughout his decades of service to georgia, our nation, and our world." the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. human rights council, michelle taylor, saying, "president carter has lived an extraordinary life of service to his community, his country, and the world. wishing his family peace at this difficult time."

the u.s. has leveled its most serious accusation so far against russia over its brutal invasion of ukraine. saturday, vice president kamala harris declared russian forces were committing crimes against humanity. cnn's isabel rosales has the details. >> reporter: on saturday, vice president kamala harris said the evidence is clear. outlining russian crimes against humanity. the declaration came during the munich security conference in germany where her visit was part of the biden administration's intense efforts to show commitment to ukraine sovereignty and unity among western allies. >> we have examined the evidence. we know the legal standards. and there is no doubt, these are crimes against humanity. >> reporter: the vice president's speech cited evidence of indiscriminate attacks that deliberately targeted civilians. that includes the bombings of a maternity hospital that killed a

pregnant mother, and a theater in mariupol where hundreds were killed. >> think of the images of bucha. civilians shot in cold blood. their bodies left in the street. >> reporter: also in germany at the conference, u.s. secretary of state antony blinken who echoed the vice president's speech saying the determination was based on a careful analysis of the law and available facts. >> the solidarity with and support for ukraine remains stronger than ever. and there's great determination among virtually all of the countries represented here to continue that support for as long as it takes for ukraine to succeed. >> reporter: the u.s. accusation against russia comes as february 24th marks one year since russia launched its war on ukraine. isabel rosales reporting. china also made headlines at the munich conference with blinken directly confronting beijing's top diplomat over the

suspected spy balloon shot down by the u.s. two weeks ago. the dramatic meeting took place on the sidelines of that conference and marked the first time washington has complained to beijing face-to-face. the balloon as you can imagine wasn't the end of the tense exchange. secretary blinken also bluntly warned his chinese counterpart to stay out of russia's war in ukraine, saying there were disturbing signs beijing was considering sending weapons and ammo to moscow. cnn's nic robertson is covering the conference in munich and cnn's mark stewart is standing by in tokyo with more from asia. first to you, nic. the u.s. and china seem to agree only on one thing, right? that the meeting was, in fact, contentious. one example was, china saying that it was going to try to broker peace in ukraine and the u.s., as i just said, warning of exactly the opposite, that they were seeking to perhaps escalate and materially help russia through this. what more are we learning?

>> reporter: it's a concern that china may do more to try to support russia in the war in terms of military support, which it isn't doing at the moment. there's no evidence that it is. but that was a concern that was shared here with allies and partners. i spoke with the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, on this issue yesterday. she said it is an open question, we are watching closely what china does, it is a concern going forward. there's a realization here that if china does support russia because it has such a scope and scale of armaments and ammunition that could be supplied to russia at a time when it really needs them in this war in ukraine, as well as the potential other elements of the sort of hybrid-type warfare that russia is engaging in at the moment -- cyber attacks, that sort of thing. china potentially here could be a significant game changer. there's no evidence, but it's a

very real concern. and part of the concerns expressed by the white house and state department here yesterday are precisely as you say. but on the one hand, china appears to be sort of expressing that it can play a role as an intermediary, as a peace-bringer. but wang yi, the chinese foreign minister, when he spoke at the security conference yesterday, he said that legitimate security concerns must be addressed. must be acknowledged by the europeans. the implication, i think, to everyone here is, he means the pretext for which russia invaded ukraine -- russia, putin, claiming it was under threat from nato -- must be part of the peace formula here. i think from the white house perspective, the state department perspective, and for many here, there's a sense that china is saying one thing but maybe doing another. that's going to get a lot of scrutiny. and of course, the warning from secretary of state blinken to wang yi last night that that is a very, very bad path to go

down. >> yeah, definitely. it would escalate what is already an absolutely tragic situation in ukraine. mark, to you now. this was at least a start to dialogue, right? china is re-emerging, after all, on the world stage after covid. i listened to wang yi's speech. it was extraordinary in a way. there is a sense that he, too, wants to put the whole balloon incident behind them despite the rhetoric that was apparent in his speech? >> reporter: i mean, at least publicly, paula. china is being very resolute. it did nothing wrong. if you look at the statements in chinese state media over the last few hours, wang yi has described this meeting as informal and really has put the burd on the united states to repair what it sees as damage to its relationship. again, it maintains that this movement by the balloon, its swaying off course, was by accident and there was nothing

nefarious about that. yet at the same time we are seeing, perhaps, some signals that there is room for diplomacy. for example, the state department spokesperson said that secretary blinken in his meeting did keep the door open to a possible conversation between president biden and chinese leader xi. so we are just going to have to see how this unfolds. but i think neither side wants this to be the big sticking point in a much broader discussion. there are serious political discussions that need to be had in this relationship as well as economic discussions, especially as china reopens and the united states and the world economy really try to regain their footing. >> regain their footing. as said, that comes along with re-emerging on the world stage when yi is on his way to russia in the coming days. mark stewart, nic robertson, i want to thank you both. we're learning more about

north korea's latest long-range missile test, its third in less than a year. state tv reports an intercontinental ballistic missile was fired on saturday in a surprise drill under the written orders of leader kim jong-un. the test comes a day after pyongyang warned the u.s. and south korea of "unprecedented strong responses" if they go ahead with planned military drills. more from cnn's will ripley. >> reporter: north korea always conducts these kinds of highly provocative tests for a reason. could they have been doing it because of the g7 foreign ministers meeting at the munich security conference? did they want to get the attention of the leaders of places like the u.s., canada, france, germany, italy, japan, the uk, the eu? they did get it. they got a statement from the g7 members strongly condemning north korea's launch of what is believed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile, icbm, like the one they launched in november that traveled around 22 times the

speed of sound, could potentially hit the u.s. mainland, japan has warned, and was in the air for more than an hour. this was essentially the same statistics with preliminary information, saturday's launch, from that november launch which was later determined to be a hwasong-17. the question, this is an old north korean icbm or something new? last week they had a military parade in pyongyang, they showed an apparent mock-up of new solid fuel icbms -- solid fuel dangerous because they can fill it up and launch it quickly without spy satellites getting a glimpse on it, a surprise attack sort of thing. north korean leader kim jong-un wants to mass produce them. also friday, north korea threatened the u.s. and south korea over these upcoming military drills that are going to be happening, computer simulations, they call them tabletop drills. next month, boots on the ground drills on the korean peninsula. don't be surprised, a lot of korea watchers say, if north korea steps things up. certainly with an icbm launch,

they're sending a strong message and world leaders are listening. the question is, what can they really do to stop them? still ahead, the railroad company is promising to help the ohio community where that train derailed carrying toxic chemicals. but is it enough? we'll get some insights from an expert. when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conductoror. ♪ go betty! ♪ let's be more than our allergies! zeize the day. with zyrtec. i'i'm lindsey vonn, and ever since i retired from skiing, i've had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep— you know, insomnia. before i found quviviq, an fdapproved insomnia medication for adults, you woulnot believe the things i used to think about when i couldn't sleep. hey, linds. i need you to si this business contract. all 114 pages. lindsey! lindsey! hey, lindsey! it's workout time. hey, big man, we're in the middle of something here. yeah, it's called physical fitness.

the ceo of norfolk southern rail company is promising to help east palestine, ohio, "recover and thrive again." those comments come as he visited the site where that train carrying hazardous materials derailed more than two weeks ago. cnn's polo sandoval has our story. >> reporter: norfolk southern is a rail company that the uscpa says will be held accountable because of its role in this disaster. the company for its part on saturday tweeting a reminder that they said they will not be walking away from this situation. in fact, on saturday also tweeting a link to an air testing service for businesses and homes in the area, free of charge. also saying that they will be in it for the long haul. but still, this is doing little

to assure many of the residents of east palestine, including some that have reported some symptoms like sore throats, nausea, feeling headaches. they're worried that these symptoms could potentially be linked to the chemicals that were released after the derailment in early february. even after authorities have said that multiple tests have shown no elevated levels of chemicals in drinking water or in the air, there's still many concerns that remain for the residents in eastern ohio. >> we need help. we do. we need president biden, we need fema, housing. people are getting sick. >> the railroad sent out his tox on t toxologist who deemed my house not safe. had i not thrown a fit, i would be sitting in that house right

now. >> i don't recommend you put anything in the ground. vegetables or tomatoes or anything this year. because we don't know. >> reporter: late friday, federal officials announced fema will be supplementing the federal response on the ground in the form of a senior response official, also a regional management assistance team. the goal will be to assess the long-term needs for members of the community. they can also expect authorities to set up temporary clinics potentially there to provide medical personnel and also toxicologists ways to evaluate these individuals with symptoms. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. peter decarlo is an environmental health professor at johns hopkins university. he joins me from washington, d.c. thanks for joining us on what has been an upsetting story not just for the community there, but for people across the country and beyond who have been

watching this. you're on the record as saying that despite best efforts, the right test may not have been carried out so far. for this community to really feel safe. in your estimation, what kinds of tests are lacking? >> so i'm basing that off the publicly available information that's on the epa response website. the epa differentiates between monitoring and air sampling. they've been doing both. monitoring seems to be what is heavily relied upon, especially when screening people's homes. it's the data that's mostly reported on that response website. and the problem with monitoring data is it doesn't give us chemical specificity, it doesn't tell us what chens are present and what concentrations. it gives us an idea generally ow much of a class of chemicals is there, but it doesn't specify the specific chemicals. that's what's important to understand, exposure and

potential toxicity. >> we're looking at video from this week where they had gone in and tried to do some of this testing. the burning of the chemicals was perhaps necessary, right? they went through this, they had to do that so that there wasn't an explosion. but people who claim to know what they're saying are saying, look, residents, it's fine, you can go back, it's safe. yet residents are unsettled. they still smell chemicals, they're wondering what's going on with the water. and they're being told, look, it couldn't hurt to open your windows, wipe down all your surfaces. it doesn't inspire confidence. do you think the residents are wrong to feel this unease? >> i mean, i can't argue with a resident who is having a lived experience right now and feeling the way that they're feeling. i think, as you brought up, the burning of the vinyl chloride i think is something that really throws kind of a wrench into understanding what chemicals are

present. because as soon as you burn something, it's no longer that chemical anymore. and so while we know that it was vinyl chloride on the train, that black plume of smoke that i think we've all seen coming from that, that controlled burn, is no longer vinyl chloride. so it creates a whole host of other potential chemicals that we also have to start thinking about. and their potential toxicity. i think those are some unanswered questions that we don't really have the data for at this point. >> yeah, and you bring up another good point. do you trust the system and the process? and the regulatory oversight, you point out that perhaps maybe even the staffing levels are an issue here. and that could be right down the line, whether it's from regulatory bodies at the state and the local levels or also from the railroad. do you think that could be a problem? or something that we have to look at in future so that this doesn't happen again? >> i mean, i don't know how many people are on the ground.

i don't know that it's understaffed. but i do know that the data available seems to be lacking. the air sampling data, we haven't seen updates on that for quite some time. we certainly haven't seen data from samples taken at the accident site and downwind of the accident site in terms of air sampling, in terms of the chemicals that are being released that people are potentially exposed to. without that data, it's really hard to know what people should be worried about, what next steps may be. but from reports on the ground from people who live there and who have come back, there are certainly still odors and chemicals present in the area. and that worries me. >> if that worries you as a scientist, they're looking at common sense. if i can smell it. some people say they feel it in their throat in their nose. is that cause for concern? >> quite possibly. i mean, there are chemicals that we can smell, there are chemicals that we can't smell.

it really comes down to being able to measure those and understand what's in the environment. and i really want to stress, it's probably most important to know what's in people's homes. what from that accident may have gotten into people's homes or into the soil that people track into their homes? with saul small children, i would always be worried about what they're getting into and their potential exposures. because ultimately, they are some of the more vulnerable people to be exposed to chemicals. as an environmental engineer and scientist who measures these types of chemicals, i think i personally would want to not come back. and honestly, it sounds like the bill for hotels is being footed by norfolk southern. if that's the case, i would maybe want to extend that, that time away from the area, until i

knew more. and it really comes down to if there are children involved, as you mentioned, pregnant women, people who are -- the consequences of having exposure that could be really detrimental. i would especially exercise caution there. >> yes, certainly. your opinion is really sobering, actually. and likely quite prudent. we have to say it's amajor inconvenience just to move your life to a hotel in the first place. but you're trying to do it for safety, for your family. peter decarlo, thank you for your insights on this. >> thank you for having me. ahead for us, a difficult decision by the oldest living u.s. president. jimmy carter begins hospice care at his georgia home. details after the break. the u.s. secretary of state will travel to turkey in the next few hours to survey the earthquake damage affecting an important nato ally. science proves quality sleep is vital to your mental, emotional, and physical health.

a warm welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton and you are watching "cnn newsroom." update on a story, former u.s. president jimmy carter has decided to begin hospice care at his georgia home after battling deteriorating health for some time. carter is 98 years old, the nation's oldest living president. he beat brain cancer in 2015, then faced a series of health challenges in 2019. his grandson, former georgia state senator jason carter, says the former president is "at peace with the decision," adding that his grandparents' home is full of love.

carter was the 39th president of the u.s., serving one term from 1977 to 1981. after leaving office he founded the carter center and has devoted his life to advancing world peace, health, and human rights. u.s. secretary of state antony blinker will be visiting turkey in the coming hours. while there, he'll get a look at the rescue and recovery efforts and the damage from the devastating earthquake that hit about two weeks ago now. the death toll in turkey alone rising to more than 40,000, according to the most recent figures from the turkish disaster management agency. in syria, more than 5,800 people are dead. the majority of them in rebel-held areas according to the united nations. for more on the story and the latest developments on the ground in turkey, we're joined by cnn's nada bashir. good to see you, nada, as you continue to follow this story.

we have antony blinken arriving there. and it will be sobering for him, as it has been for so many. these rescues that continue to go on certainly point to the resiliency of those people that have been trapped for so long and of course the rescuers, indefatigable through all this. there's so much more to do still for the survivors, right? >> reporter: absolutely. this is going to be a long challenge ahead for the survivors. and also, of course, for the turkish government. we heard yesterday from the foreign minister here in turkey thanking members of the international community who flew in to support in that search and rescue effort. thousands of personnel on the ground in southeast turkey continuing with that effort. but of course, although we have seen survivors being rescued into the weekend, in fact, we continue to see survivors being pulled from the rubble, those rescues are becoming few and far between. the window for finding survivors is certainly closing very, very

quickly. now the focus is somewhat shifting to providing support to those who did survive, thousands of them left homeless, currently living in difficult situations, freezing-cold temperatures. many of them have lost absolutely everything on top of losing their loved ones. this will be a difficult few weeks and months ahead. the turkish government for its part has said it is committed to rebuilding parts of southeast turkey within one year. they say they plan to start building 30,000 apartments by march. so this is going to be a significant challenge for the turkish government, already preparing for those plans and getting those plans under way. at this stage, we are still seeing aid being funneled into turkey. that is crucial. the message we're hearing from aid groups is that they need more donations, they need more support. that is certainly coming in, not only from the international community but all across turkey. we have seen a ground swell of support. the united nations has been very

clear. they say now is the time for the world to stand behind turkey. u.n. secretary-general antonio guterres announcing a flash appel for $1 billion over the next three months in aid for turkey. that comes after an appeal for nearly $400 million for northwest syria over the next three months. so that aid will be crucial in supporting those impacted by the earthquake. but here in turkey, i have to say, there is a sense of frustration, there is also a sense of anger for some, many questioning whether enough was done to prepare for a catastrophe of this scale, and also some questioning now the accountability that will be independent the destruction of many of these buildings in southeast turkey. questions around the construction codes and whether or not rules were followed. the turkish government for its part is carrying out an investigation. they say they have so far arrested 120 out of more than 400 identified suspects connected with allegations of construction negligence. that in itself will also be a

long process. for those who have lost everything, for those still waiting for news of their loved ones buried beneath the rubble, this may not be enough solace for them. >> everything that you have gone through, everything that we've reviewed, is overwhelming to us, never mind if you're a survivor there. already a marginalized area of turkey, trying to figure out where you go from here. we hope that there are plans that they will hear of in the coming days and weeks. nada bashir, appreciate the update. in idlib, syria, a makeshift camp has been set up. many say they feel safer there rather than staying indoors. >> translator: we left our houses because of the earthquake. the house next door fell on our neighbors, and our house cracked. we are very scared of aftershocks. yesterday there was a strong tremendous money, so we live in the camp. >> as she points out, there are still tremors going on there.
