just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> ukraine will never be a victim for russia. never. >> he thought we would roll over. he was wrong. >> historic coast to coast snowstorm takes hold of the upper midwest with dangerous snowfall and dangerous travel conditions and the threat for severe weather in the southern part of the country. >> i don't want them because i don't know what is in it. >> norfolk southern's corporate agreed, incompetence and lack of care for our residents is absolutely unacceptable. >> from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is wednesday, february 22, 9:00 a.m. in london, 10:00 a.m. in warsaw poland where joe biden will wrap up his final day meeting with the secretary-general and leaders of

the group known as the nine. and there was a different perspective from pooutdvladimir on the war. putin tried it to blame the west but mr. biden made clear it was putin who is responsible. >> president putin chose this war. every day the war continues is his choice. he could end the war with a word. it is simple. if russia stopped invading ukraine, it would end the war. if ukraine stopped defending itself against russia, it would be the end of ukraine. >> mr. biden went on to condemn the extraordinary brutality from russian forces and mercenaries and accused them of committing crimes against humanity in ukraine. >> they targeted civilians with death and destruction.

used rape as a weapon of war. stole ukrainian children, bombed train stations, maternity hospitals, schools and orphanages. no one, no one can turn away their eyes from the atrocities russia is committing against the ukrainian people. >> mr. biden also declared ukraine will never be a victory for russia. he repeatedly called out vladimir putin by name and just as he did in kyiv, he again vowed unwavering support for ukraine. >> one year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of kyiv. i've just come from a visit to kyiv and i can report kyiv stands strong. kyiv stands proud. it stands tall. and most important, it stands free. >> meanwhile china's top

diplomat is in moscow for talks about the war in ukraine with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov, this as the "wall street journal" is reporting that xi jinping will travel to moscow in the coming months to meet with vladimir putin. all this as russia decided to suspend its participation in a nuclear arms control treaty with washington. that announcement came during putin's speech in moscow though hours later russian foreign ministry says that decision is reversible. meanwhile two u.s. officials tell cnn that russia carried out a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that appears to have failed around the time that mr. biden was in ukraine on monday. we have correspondents tracking all these developments for us. kevin liptak is in warsaw, and kristie lu stout is in hong kong and clare sebastian is here with me in london. let's go to kevin. another very busy significant day in europe for mr. biden.

>> reporter: yeah, and the president will be meeting in a couple hours with the leaders from a group of nato allies along the eastern flank. president biden certain to reinforce his message from yesterday that the u.s. remains committed to this alliance which he described as the most consequential in american history. of course nato has been r reinvigorated by this crisis in ukraine. but the other aim for president biden and over the course of his entire trip in europe this week is stealing his allies for what is to come in ukraine. this is a more complex phase that we're entering as russia prepares for an offensive and as ukraine looks to regain territory that it has lost. president biden really looking to warn his allies, to brace his allies for what will be in his words some dark days ahead. and so as he returns to

washington, that is really the question that remains looming over this entire conflict, how does it end. and you didn't necessarily here president biden describe any end game, he didn't ever any new perspective on that front, but certainly when you hear president putin's speech yesterday, you didn't hear a man who is backing down in any way. if those two speeches had anything in common, it was that this conflict will continue for an uncertain amount of time and that is what president biden will be leaving behind in europe when he departs later today. >> kevin, thank you. kristie lu stout, discussing the new world order alternative visions and now we see the chinese president suggesting that he is going to go to moscow to meet with the russian president which plays into the much bigger very profound conversation. >> reporter: yeah, and the

meeting is under way. the top diplomat is meeting with sergey lavrov in moscow. and we received a photograph earlier, it was shared by the russian foreign ministry spokesperson who posted it showing them smiling and shaking hands. and there is a bit of a repeat of previous talking points from chin china. and it says it does not rule out the possibility of him meeting with vladimir putin. and saying the meeting is an opportunity for both sides to exchange views about their relationship and also about international hot spot issues which would of course include the war of ukraine. earlier on tuesday , he expressd opposition to the cold war mentality, a desire to strengthen cooperation between china and russia.

ukraine was also discussed but details not revealed. and this meeting is being monitored very closely by western nations. the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken warned ye of consequences if china proceeds with giving material slupt to russia, the ongoing war in ukraine. china fired back repeatedly and is accusing the u.s. of sabotage. these comments from the global times which said that the u.s. has been wearing thick tinted glasses to be friendly in the beginning and the sabotage in washington toward china and russia ties have never stopped and now they have reached a peak. underscoring this is the meeting that you mentioned. the "wall street journal" is reporting that xi jinping is planning to visit moscow for a summit with vladimir putin in april or may. back to you. >> okay, let's talk more about this, clare.

it is just the optics, isn't it, of the two presidents meet being on russian soil at a sensitive time.being on russian soil at a sensitive time. >> and i think it is not confirmed yet, but that certainly would give a very strong signal of where china stands on this. they have specifically claimed any support for russia militarily, but this relationship is very material to russia the past year. china has proved a critical economic partner and provided a market for its displaced oil and gas. and expansion of a pipeline between russia and china. it is really important and it underscores and we have heard comments this morning from lavrov that they want to continue their close cooperation in favor of what he called a more democratic and fair system

of international relations. and they are also looking to show the world that they want a sphere of influence that rifler that of what we see coalescing around ukraine. and he says that other nations are interested. and attempts to contain the states he said who display independence and focus on international interests. and so he is trying to build this influence in an alternative sphere in the world in sort of -- in contrast to the trans-atlantic alliance. >> all right. thank you all. meanwhile south korea's military says it believes that north korea is capable of firing an intercontinental ballistic missile further than ever before. it is preparing to prove that with an upcoming test. the goal is to put pressure on the u.s. this new warning comes just days after north korea carried out

the third test of its long range icbm in less than a year. from coast to coast, 65 million americans are under winter weather alerts. a powerful storm is threatening to bring blizzard-like conditions to the upper midwest and high plains. northern 165,000 power outages have already been reported in california alone and more than 500 flights for today have already been canceled. let's bring in cnn meteorologist britley ritz. minneapolis could see up to 25 inches of snow? >> absolutely. and in many locations. already feet of snow in parts of california, and minneapolis could potentially hit top five snowiest on record if they hit roughly around 24 inches of snow, which is the forecast. 65 million under some sort of winter weather alert, including blizzard warnings.

2 million plus under blizzard warnings where we have 35-mile-per-hour wind gusts for three hours time knocking down visibility under a quarter of a mile. and if you are not under the warning, whiteout conditions are still possible. snow from california all the way to the ohio valley. this is round two, round three expected later this evening. and so we can expect additional heavier snowfall for minneapolis later tonight. you will see that heavy snow rolling in around 8:00, t9:00. and in the pinks, ice could cripple the city just north of chicago. detroit could be one of these locations where we have half an inch to a quarter of an inch of ice. and widespread outages and tre limb s could come down. and so snowfall totals, this is on top of what we've already

picked up, purple showing you the 8 plus inches expected through friday and then the pinks showing you 12 to 18 more inches expected again through the rest of this week. on top of the heavy snowfall, then we're talking about flooding through the ohio valley back into the southern plains. the areas in orange, 4 plus inches of rain the next few days. and also the threat for severe weather. we're warm, humid, and the lift from the cold front, all the conditions to bring in damaging winds. and then of course large hail is also a possibility, that is more isolated. and a brief tornado can't be ruled out especially for areas highlighted in yellow from st. louis back into eastern oklahoma. it is hot. we mentioned the temperatures contributing to the severe weather threat. 135 plus record highs are possible through friday for areas highlighted in yellow and orange, so that includes the carolinas back through florida and texas where temperatures are expected to be pushing close to 90 degrees in places like

orlando. max. >> britley, thank you so much. and we're keeping a close eye on u.s. stock futures as wall street opens to rebound from steep losses on tuesday. let's look at where the markets stand right now. it is not a huge amount of help because they are flying up and down currently. but they are up marginally at the moment looking ahead to the open later. the dow lost nearly 700 points on tuesday. the s&p 500 was down 2% and the nasdaq dropped 2.5%. warnings from walmart and home depot have investors worried that u.s. recession is still possible. both retailers lowered their outlook. home depot missed its revenue expectations for the first time since the pandemic. mark stewart is following developments for us from tokyo. a rough day for traders. you are in tokyo and the picture is pretty grim across asia as well. how do you you interpret all of

this? >> reporter: it has been a rough few days for traders all across asia, but here in tokyo, japan's benchmark index the nikkei saw a bit of a slump. one possible explanation is the fact that the bank of japan may be making a potential policy change, and that made people uneasy. and in addition broadly speaking over the last few day, we've seen declines across markets in japan as well as in china and hong kong. and the issue there may be the fact that chinese tech companies announced that they are going to spend more money, they are going to invest and possibly expand. on the surface that sounds like a good thing, but when money is changing hands, it could make investors a little bit cautious. >> and in terms of the u.s. futures, is this all to do with inflation and interest rates and fresh fears there?

>> reporter: when you have two w big companies like home depot and walmart say they are uncertain of the future, that could impact futures. they look for things to celebrate but also they can worry. and so in addition, in the month ahead, we'll hear from big companies like best buy, target, gap, macy's, and what those companies say when they release minutes from their future, that affects it. and the u.s. federal reserve is the organization that determines the direction of interest rates and based off of their comments, their conversations, investors will make decisions if it is something perhaps less than stellar. >> we'll see what happens. mark stewart, thank you very

much. and we're getting a close look into the georgia grand jury investigation of former u.s. president donald trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. the jury worked for seven months and heard testimony from 75 witnesses including some of trump's closest allies during his time in office. foreperson says that the panel recommended multiple indictments to the county district attorney which she hinted could include the, quote, big name even is interested in. >> we definitely heard a lot about former president trump and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. and i would say that when this comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you. especially if you have been following the investigation, i can't see it being a shocker. >> the foreperson may be getting ahead of herself.

legal analyst elie honig spoke with anderson cooper about why she may be revealing too much about the investigation. >> this is a very serious prospect here. we're talking about indicting any person, you are talking about potentially taking away that person's liberty, potentially a former president for the first time in this nation's history. she does not seem to be taking that very seriously. >> no reason for her to be out talking. >> no, it is a prosecutor's nightmare. mark my words, donald trump's team will make a motion if there is a indictment to dismiss it based on grand jury impropriety. she is not supposed to be talking about anything, but specifically not the club brace c deliberations. she's been saying we found this guy funny or interesting. i don't know why that is relevant. i think this will be a problem for prosecutors. and meantime, the epa tells the railroad to clean up the

mess in ohio. and plus a case against google reaches the supreme court, they say the tech company is responsible for cad radicali terrorists like the ones that killed their daughter. and later, liberated ukrainians are on edge as they brace for a new military offensive and worry russia could target their town, next. is sen, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno®

u.s. department of transportation is launching an investigation into travel delays. and they will be checking to see if short staffing and bad weather were actually credible reasons for the delays. and it is all an effort to inform congress and the american people of what the real issues are according to the inspector general. the u.s. president is demanding the rail company operating the train that derailed in ohio to clean up its mess. joe biden spoke to epa chief and state officials while in poland, this as the national transportation safety board gets ready to issue its initial

investigationive findings on thursday. >> thank you for inviting us in your home. >> reporter: nearly three weeks after the derailment, people in east palestine, ohio still concerned. >> we don't feel safe in our home. i don't even walk in my grass because i don't know what is in it. >> reporter: officials say the air and water deemed safe so far but not everyone is convinced. >> it is safe to drink the water. >> water is safe? >> i can't even brush my teeth with it. >> reporter: and carolyn brown hosted the epa administrator moo michael regan and ohio governor dewine in her kitchen both ensuring her that her tap water is safe. >> we believe in science. we all feel like we're being a guinea pig, but we don't believe the water is safe. >> reporter: they say the village tap water testing will

continue for years and anyone with a private well should have it tested as well. >> norfolk southern's corporate greed, incompetence and lack of care for our residents is absolutely unacceptable to me. >> reporter: the governor of neighboring pennsylvania announced his state made a criminal referral to investigate norfolk southern's handling of the derailment, this as the epa announced that disordering norfolk southern to complete all the cleanup or the agency will immediately take over and seek to compel the company to pay triple the cost. >> i expect within the next 48 hours norfolk southern will begin working with the agency on the contents of the work plan. they have to put together a work plan that will be very prescriptive. >> we'll be here tomorrow, we'll be here a year from now, we'll be here five years from now. >> reporter: and the ceo of the railroad says it is already committed to doing what is right. >> we'll invest in this

community, we'll do it in the right way and we'll do it at the right time. >> reporter: at a church across town, a new medical clinic opening up to help people concerned about getting sick from the chemicals spilled in the derailment and controlled burn. >> we want to help people navigate through the health care system. >> reporter: but there is much more to be done. >> we're moving as fast as we physically can. of course time is of the essence. >> reporter: while trains are running through the town again, the soil underneath the open tracks still contaminated. >> we know the soil is contaminated under there. they know it is contaminated. they know what it is contaminated with. they have done the testing. there is a long term remediation plan that includes getting the soil out from under the tracks. >> reporter: for now it is all about building trust and getting people the help and answers they need. >> we'll continue to follow the science. we'll continue to listen to the experts who understand this.

>> reporter: but the toxicity, cleanup and the distrust is also political. >> that was the biggest slap in the face. >> reporter: the mayor of east palestine criticizing joe biden for going to ukraine instead of coming here. >> he can send every agency he wants to, but i found that out this morning in one of the briefings that he was in ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there and not to us and i'm furious. >> reporter: we're about a mile and a half from the derailment site. and this is what is happening, this is the confluence of two creeks, both are contaminated, they have massive hoses trying to clean it up and reinject it. this will go on for quite some time. and the mayor trying to lower the heat on some of the politics here saying if president biden wanted to visit this area, he was happy to have him here. back to you. coming up, poland's president speaks out on joe

biden's surprise visit to ukraine and what it signaled to russia and the rest of the world. plus cnn is on the ground in ukraine as liberated civilians brace for russia to once again target their towns. >> this is all about smashing up theville thinks andthinksages a ahead of a russian push. and the giggles. the family thahat takes delsym together, feels better togetether. hi, i'm jill and i've losost 56 pounds on go. hi, i'm barry and i've lost 42 pounds.s. jill and i are a team. if she tells me to do something, i usually jump on board. golo wasoable, it's realistic, and it's something we can do the rest of oulives.

and china's top diplomat is in moscow for talks about war in ukraine with sergey lavrov. and in a few hours u.s. president biden will meet with his polish count pererpart and r members of the bucharest 9. this will be biden's second meeting in as many days with poland's president. president duda talked to christiane amanpour about biden's surprise visit to ukraine. >> translator: first thing he travelled to kyiv and sends an incredibly powerful signal, it is a demonstration of strength of the united states indeed. it is like saying that the american leader who as a matter of fact is the leader of the free world is able to travel even where war is raging, even to a place where there is a potential danger, he is not afraid because the united states is strong enough to protect him.

that is number one. number two, he was there and today he is in warsaw. he gives his pitch to the whole world and he sends a signal of the defense of the free world, defense of nato, the defense of every inch of the territory as the president said today. so to ask the pols schltpols, signal septemificant sent by tht zig super power is so significant. >> and you can see the full interview today at 7:00 p.m. in warsaw.>> and you can see the f interview today at 7:00 p.m. in warsaw. russian forces have been trying to capture bakhmut. some lived now liberated but on edge as the front lines move

ever closer in the fighting. and sam kiley reports. >> reporter: a year into russia's invasion, this misery is all-too familiar. this is what happened just three days ago here, an f-300 missile strike. that is a missile used by the russians for ground attack which actually designed for bringing down airplanes. but it carries a massive warhead, it is pretty inaccurate. and that doesn't matter to the russians because this is all about smashing up the villages and towns ahead of what the ukrainians fear is going to be a major russian push in this part of the country. capture on the second day of vladimir putin's invasion last february, this is no longer a town that scares easily. it was liberated by ukraine in the fall and is within mortar range of russian troops today. yet these teenagers are taking a walk through what remains of

their village. why do your parents not insist that you all leave as a family? >> translator: my dad has a farm here, he has land. we can't just leave it all behind. so we just don't want to go yet. if it gets serious, then we'll leave. >> reporter: and how would you define really serious? in most countries having a missile that big land in the middle of town is already really serious. >> translator: very serious is probably when a lot of houses are destroyed and civilians suffer, she explains. >> reporter: it is the defiance of ukrainian civilians that russia is trying to crush. putin's rockets and artillery have rained down on towns, along a frontline of 1300 kilometers, that is 800 miles.

this latest assault on kherson another example of the indiscriminate shelling of civilians. this is not accidental. it is deliberate. the areas liberated by ukraine bear the brunt of an ever increasing level of attacks by russia. here in this province, as in kherson, civilians survive on aid rations. we don't know what do, she says. houses are shaking, missiles are flying. we don't know what to wait for. we're shaking like chickens. we don't know what to expect. >> reporter: fighting has been most intense in and around bakhmut with a surge of attacks by russia in nearby villages on the foretaste of anticipated offensive. veterans like alex who captured this tank called bunny from russia last march are running low on ammunition.

he says that he sometimes in combat with only ten shells a day. >> it is really hard. we have a lot of issues every day and the problem is the fighting moves inside the city and we're fighting building to building and the distance is 25 to 60 meters. >> reporter: and here civilians place their faith in ukraine's forces to hold off the russians. and play their part by staying on and staying alive. sam kiley, cnn. monday's major aftershock in turkey has killed at least six people and compounding the damage from the initial earthquake which struck more than two weeks ago. and the 900,000 people living in temporary shelters, many will have to rebuild their lives after losing loved ones and all

of their possessions. nada bashir is in southern turkey. they are trying to keep their spirits up at least in these unbelievable conditions. >> reporter: absolutely. we're one of the larger camps with the displaced people here. and among the hardest hit of those provinces by the earthquake a little over two weeks ago. as you see behind me, they have set up a sort of children's center here, they are doing activities for the kids who became homeless along with their families. they have games and activities on a daily basis. and here they have a little library, as well as a little classroom set up. and this is happening day by day around the clock the last two weeks. and they also have a little psych lodgele cal center set up where they are providing psychosocial support not only to the children but also to the parents. this earthquake has caused an

immense amount of destruction. their lives completely transformed. and we have to remember that there are been aftershocks every day including that very powerful one monday evening. so these children are living in quite a bit of fear right now. and this is a lot to go through for these families. and around 900,000 people living in tents across southeastern turkey and as well as others evacuated to other parts of the country. and look, this is a huge camp, around 3500 people currently staying here in tents. but there are smaller camps around the area where there are people living on the street. they do not have tents. we've been speaking to some of the families earlier today and many are syrian refugees already displayed from their homes countless times and now sleeping on the streets. authorities here including emergency management service say

they are working to get more tents to the affected areas. around 6,000 tents have been sent to the southeast. but for many of those who are still reeling from the effects of this earthquake, many of those with loved ones in hospital, who have lost loved ones, this is only a temporary solution. this will be a long and difficult process for those who have lost everything. >> nada, thank you. we'll keep across that story. still to come, should google and youtube be held responsible for content recommendations created by an algorithm? we'll break down the supreme court's high stakes case next. i will use rid-x monthly to help prevent a backup. because rid-x is scientifically provenn to break down septic waste. guaranteed.

>> reporter: the supreme court taking on a case that could reshape the internet hearing arguments from a family who has lost a daughter and who now wants big tech to pay. >> we continue in this fight because we are seeking justice. >> reporter: the gonzalez family's long legal fight started when their 23-year-old taught was killed in paris in 2015. know a she was at a bistro when terrorist terrorists unleashed gunfire that killed 129 people, she was the only american. >> it was a horrible moment of my life that i cannot describe the pain. >> reporter: the gonzalez family now wants youtube and parent company google to be held liable for her death. and their lawyer arguing to the supreme court tuesday that because youtube not only allowed isis videos on its site but also recommended those videos to certain viewers, they should be

held responsible for aiding and abetting terrorism. >> it goes along delivering what you have asked for, to search for things that you haven't asked for, our intention is that -- >> so even if i -- >> reporter: but google says they are protected by section 230 of the communications decency act. congress passed the law in 1996 to shield internet platforms from being sued from harmful content posted by third parties on their sites. google lawyers argue that shield also applies to any recommendations the site might make. >> exposing from explicitly recommending third part content threatens today's internet. >> reporter: this is the first time the supreme court has considered the scope of section 230, and justices acknowledge if gonzalez family succeeds, that would open up tech companies to a flood of lawsuits and justices also asked whether it is congress and not the courts who

should clarify how much tech companies should be involved. >> it is unclear. on the other hand, we're a court. we really don't know about these things. you know, these are not like the nine greatest experts on the internet. isn't that something for congress to do, not the court? >> reporter: the led family has lost the case at the lower courts but they continue to search for justice after the death of their daughter at the hands of terrorists. >> it won't bring me back my daughter, but at least it is something good that will be accomplished. >> reporter: the supreme court will hear another case wednesday morning to determine if social media companies are responsible for terrorist content on their sites under an anti terrorism law. and that case does not involve section 230, but big tech is still bracing for the rulings by

the end of june. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. and just minutes from now, a british woman who left the uk to join isis will find out if she won her appeal to keep her citizenship. the ruling on the so-called isis bride is expected at the top of the hour. the decision is over whether the renewal of her citizenship was lawful and will not determine whether she will be allowed back to the uk. she is now 23 and left for syria when she was just 15 years old. and still ahead, alex murdaugh's son takes the stand in defense of his father who is accused of murdering family members. details of what buster murdaugh said is next. are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean? downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeeeks, make sure you have downy unstopabables in-wash scent boosters.. it makes it really easy and seamleless pick an order

sharing how he first heard his mother and brother had been killed. >> my dad called me and asked if i was sitting town andown. >> reporter: and key for the defense, buster's defense about how often his father showered given the state suggesting that he washed up and changed his clothes after allegedly killing his wife and son. >> how frequently would his dad take a shower or bath? >> he could take them a lot. >> reporter: and what about the police interview where one investigator testified that he thought du murdaugh said i did so bad regarding his son paul. and buster weighed in after the video played. >> what did your tdad say? >> they did him so bad. >> reporter: and defense seemed
