>> i don't feel safe in this town now. you took it away from me. >> i don't know what the future holds for my town. this has the potential to decimate a small town like us. common sense. use your head on the road. don't text especially in this weather. >> this ain't the first time, so just dealing with it, and what can you do. >> my government will not accept a nuclear -- >> did you accept that? >> not voluntarily. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is thursday respect february 23, 4:00 a.m. in east

palestine, ohio where more questionsmain following the toxic train derailment. pete buttigieg is scheduled to travel there today to see the cleanup efforts for himself. it is an expensive process that could take years to complete. buttigieg's visit will coincide with the release of a preliminary report by the national transportation safety board, that report isn't expected to identify the exact cause of the accident but, rather, layout the established facts so far. many residents are growing frustrated by the lack of clearances. at a cnn town hall wednesday night, one resident took the ceo of norfolk southern to task over the disaster. >> we, the people of east palestine, are just being treated like dummies. we're not dummies. we're smart people. i don't feel safe in this town now. you took it away from me. you took it away from us.

you seem like a sincere name. i'm not calling you names, but your company stinks because you are not watching what is going on. i'm 65-year-old, a diabetic, heater disease, everything. did you shorten my life now? i want to retire and enjoy it. how are we going to enjoy it? you burned me. we were going to sell our house. our value went -- >> jim, thank you for those comments. i hear you. i'm terribly sorry that this has happened to this community. what i can do and what i will do is make it right. we're going to get the cleanup right. we're going to reimburse the citizens, we're going to invest in the long term health of this community. >> freight train service hes through east palestine restored within day, but now norfolk southern says that it will rip out the tracks and remove the

contaminated dirt beneath them as part of the cleanup. local water supply and air quality has been tested and they say there are no dangerous amount of con tam ntaminants in area. and the epa vows to hold the railroad responsible for thorough cleanup or face punishing fines. have a listen. >> if norfolk decides not to follow the order, epa will step in, perform the duties while fining the come up to $70,000 a day and then we'll recoup or our costs on the back end and the law gives us the authority to charge authorize folk southern up to three times the amount that the cleanup will cost us. so there are a lot of incentives in this order to compel the company to clean up the mess. >> for more on the cleanup efforts and what may have caused the derailment, here is miguel

marquez in east palestine. >> reporter: a massive effort under way to clean uncreeks and water flowing in and around east palestine, ohio. >> it is decimating our businesses. >> reporter: it is dirty, difficult and slow going work. for those living here, building trust that the water and air is safe as slow going as the cleanup itself. >> it took norfolk southern three days, four days for us to get a partial list. vinyl chloride, accompany late, combustible liquids. that could be somewhere. >> reporter: and it seems to have taken somewhere between alliance, ohio and the derailment in east palestine. there is a detector in sebring,

ohio, that would indicate overheat, and it is unclear if it detected any overheat, but in salem, ohio just 13 miles further along, surveillance video clearly shows sparks and bright lights coming from under a rail car at about the halfway point of the train. there is another hot box detector just down the track from where the surveillance video was taken, but it is not clear if it detected an overheat either. if it did, both the conductor and dispatcher would have been alerted to a heating issue. the ntsb said shortly before the derailment, another detector alerted the crew of a mechanical issue. the derailment occurred shortly after it passed market street in downtown east palestine. the epa now ordering norfolk southern to pay for and clean up the entire disaster zone. >> they have to put together a work plan that will be very prescriptive in terms of all of the cleanup, how they will do

it, and the radius of that cleanup. they also have to explain to us how they will pay for it. >> reporter: all of this has former president trump visits east palestine, an area of ohio where he still enjoys enormous support. >> the community has shown the tough and resilient heart of america and that is what it is. this is really america right here. >> reporter: so a sense of just how difficult it is to clean up this mess after this derailment, this is just one of the creeks right in the middle of east palestine. there are at least two creeks that run through town that are contaminated. you can see those white sort of material across the creek there, those are filters that they mix the water, they pull it out of the creek, they pump it back in, aerate aerating, pushing all the toxins in the filters. they have been doing that now for days and days. this is one location of many

that they are going to have to deal with here. they are testing the water and the air, so far none of those tests have shown concerns with contamination. but the state of ohio, the state of pa aennspennsylvania, the fe government and the railroad say that they will be here for years until the mess is cleaned up. back to you. a 19-year-old man is being charged with murder in florida after allegedly going on a shooting spree on wednesday resulting in the deaths of at least three people. police say the first victim was a woman killed inside a vehicle who may have known the suspect. two journalists were later shot at the same spot while reporting on that incident and one of them died. the suspect, keith melvin moe m then entered a home and shot a mother and a child. the child later died at the hospital. >> not a mother, not a

9-year-old, certainly not news professionals should become the victim of gun violence in our community. >> reporters who worked with the journalists who died shared fond memories of their colleague as well. >> difficult evening here because it does hit so close to home. i mean, these are people that this afternoon we were having regular conversations here in the newsroom. it was a regular day. and truly not just colleagues, but family members. many americans are feeling the xhil chill from a massive wr storm system. states in the southeast are feeling the heat as warmer temperatures sweep through that area. some schools in states in the north and midwest are closed due to bad weather. heavy snow, winds and ice have knocked out power to more than

850,000 customers. flight aware reports more than 700 flights have been canceled on thursday so far because of the weather. more than 1700 were canceled on wednesday. even parts of california are reporting snow. los angeles county issuing a blizzard warning for the first time since the 1980s. winds were so strong in las vegas, they blew a reporter over live on air. >> reporter: wow, there is a great example. >> britley ritz is joining me from atlanta safely in the studio. >> yes, we are watching these warnings and advisories slowly starting to expire. which is great, but we're still dealing with many under blizzard warnings ando whiteout conditios still expected. one thing to remember, when snow is falling and it blows, sure you get the whiteout conditions,

but blizzard warnings can happen when the snow is not falling either. it can blow all over the roadways. and so blizzard warnings still in effect across the upper midwest, back into the northern plains. they are now extending winter storm warnings into new england where we're expecting snow this morning and throughout the upcoming days, this system tracking further eastward. still snow in minneapolis, green bay, u.p. of michigan, and the great lakes, even ice. even though they have allowed the ice storm warnings to expire, we're still dealing with accumulation. battle lake, wyoming, 48 inches, and more to come. and ann arbor, michigan, impressive and dangerous accumulations for ice, 0.65 inches. snowfall through the rest of the

morning, the whole system tracking eastward. friday morning across new england, switching over to more of the ice threat. so again, travel becomes not advised in those locations. more snow expected across the midwest, parts of iowa, back into illinois and indiana as we come into the upcoming weekend. so another system trying to head our direction here. nowhere near what we're dealing with now. 6 to 8 more inches expected across the great lakes and upper midwest on top of what we've already experienced through friday and then more snow across new england here in the upcoming days. ice accumulation, a little less, but still holding on to that threat. notice the light pink color, that is a quarter of an inch of ice expected. and that again transferring over into new york here through the rest of today and into friday. >> britley, thank you so much. cities and towns across ukraine are stepping up security measures in advance of the first

anniversary of russia's invasion. the mayor of kharkiv says no one knows if russia will intensify attacks, but people may work remotely. humanitarian aid will be limited in the kherson region and ukraine foreign minister say they are simply defending their homeland. >> no other country in the world that wants peace as much as ukraine does. we never wanted war. we never planned to attack anyone. our troops do not stand on anyone else's land. we exercise our legitimate right to self-defense and to it pretty effectively. we know what we're fighting for. we're defending our land, our families and our homes. >> just a short while ago spanish prime minister sanchez arrived in kyiv to mark the first anniversary of the war. he is set to meet with president

zelenskyy and make a speech to the ukrainian parliament. and in moscow,ing with china's diplomat, this amid concerns that beijing is considering providing lethal military aid to russia that the pentagon says would lead to consequences for china. >> we haven't seen them give lethal aid to russia at this time, but they have not taken it off the table. so we have been consistent from here and i believe secretary blinken also met with his counterpart in germany just last week. we reinforce there that again, there will be consequences for china should this partnership with russia further deepen. >> u.s. president biden is back in washington after his trip to build support for ukraine. but in moscow, putin was drumming up public support for

the war and increased emphasis on his country's nuclear forces. in a speech he committed to strengthening russia's nuclear triad capable of launching three types of nuclear weapons. and here is how the u.s. president reacted to that. >> it is a big mistake to do that. not very responsible. but i don't read into that that he is thinking of using nuclear weapons or anything like that. i think -- i'm not sure what else he was able to say in his speech at the moment, but i think it is a mistake and i'm confident that we'll be able to work it out. >> cnn correspondents are tracking all the developments for you. kristie lu stout is in hong kong, claire sebastian in londo. and first we'll go to melissa bell in kyiv. what is the atmosphere like the day before this anniversary?

>> reporter: here in ukraine, people very much preparing for the worse but hoping that the russians simply don't have the ability to mount the kind of new offensive or renewed offend is i have that some are fearing. ukrainian authorities have been warning that they fear there may be some kind of symbolic action to mark that one year anniversary, special preparations being made in areas around kherson and kharkiv, some of those areas where the counteroffensive have proved so effective and remain under pressure. things like people being encouraged or allowed to stay at home if they feel nervous from today and through to the 25th, but also even as authorities are warning that some humanitarian aid may be slowed, things like payments through post offices may not be possible. they are keeping those invincibility points going where people can charge up their phones, get warm if they need to even throughout the period that

looks set to be quieter than usual in ukraine as people try to hunker down in case that symbolic move might come. meanwhile the show of support of strength of major allies, you mentioned the surprise visit here in kyiv by the spanish prime minister, this after madrid promised to send six of its leopard tanks, due to arrive in march and be operational by then. of course a support that follows on from president biden's visit earlier this week, such an important show of support. of course considered provocative step on the side of russia. the question is what ability the russians have to mount any kind of substantial increase in what the offensive actions have continued around bakhmut, we're seeing the continued shelling around that city as russians continue their efforts in donetsk, how much more they have to put on the table, how much

more coordinated offensive action they can take, that is the big question ahead of the next few days. >> melissa, thank you. clare, you're getting reports of a military plane crashing in russia? >> yeah, this is in the belgrade region. the governor of the region saying a russian plane has crashed. we're hearing that it was returning from a combat mission, the pilot died, but they believe it was a technical issue. belgrade is under sbinsintense scrutiny because it lies right on the border. but as of now, it looks like an accident. >> and in terms of the nuclear language that putin keeps pointing to, president biden doesn't seem too concerned, but why the language around these num clear weapons? >> i think coming off the back of the visit by biden to ukraine, that huge show of

support in warsaw for nato and for the western trans-atlantic alliance in general, russia is stepping this up ahead of the anniversary to try to show that it still has this leverage. i think you could say that that is language that has not deterred the west from increasing military supplies to ukraine and sort of reaffirming it support. so we have not only the suspension of its suspension in the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty, we have what u.s. officials tell us is a failed test of an intercontinental ballistic missile earlier in the week and now these comments on the defender of the father land, it is a holiday for sort of veterans essentially, saying that they will step up the sort of preparedness of their nuclear t triad. so just showing the posturing that is happening. >> and in terms of posturing,

americans clearly rattled by these images of china's top diplomat with putin yesterday. >> and also the language that we were hearing coming out of the meetings with wang yi telling vladimir putin that the relationship is rock solid, wrapping up that visit to moscow. while there he met with the russian president, he met with the foreign minister, with the head of the security council paving the way for this possible summit, a meeting between xi jinping and vladimir putin that the "wall street journal" has been reporting could take place in april or may. now, on wednesday, putin said that the china/russia relationship was reaching new milestones. and i want you to listen and also take note of the very much not so veiled reference to the united states. watch this. >> translator: we want to emphasize here that the comprehensive strategic partnership between china and russia never targets a third country. hence it won't be affected by any interferences or instigation

from a third country. we certainly won't bow to any threats or treasure from a third country. >> reporter: this relationship has been under intense scrutiny. wednesday the pentagon said that it is warning china of consequences should it proceed and offer material support, lethal support to russia. but china has continued to counter that allegation, but the fact is that ever since the russian invasion of ukraine, russia and china have been edging ever closer together. you look at economically the purchase of russian energy, the fact that the russians are conducting more of these transactions militarily, large scale military drills taking place this week. and of course politically. china refuses to contempdemn th russian invasion. >> thank you. the pentagon has released this unusual picture of an american spy plane literally shadowing the suspected chinese spy balloon.

the selfie taken by the pilot shows the shadow of his aircraft on the balloon as well as the balloon's payload there. the u.s. spotted the balloon on january 28 and shot it down several days later after it crossed the country. u.s. officials say they took steps to prevent the balloon collecting data. debris is being studied at an fbi lab. and the "new york times" reports that special counsel jack smith is demanding eye can have a trump and her husband ivanka and her husband jared kushner to appear. both served in the trump white house and provided system to the congressional committee that investigated january 6. here is cnn's sara murray. >> reporter: think about also what ivanka trump and jared kushner's roles were in the white house. that was unusual, that is part of the reason they had this sort of front row seat to this infamous moment. so it makes sense that special counsel jack smith will want to talk to them. remember january 6 house

investigators also spoke to both ivanka trump and jared kushner and they frankly came away with a pretty scathing assessment of ivanka trump's system saying she wasn't forthcoming and one of her aides happened to remember more about the events than ivanka did. so if you are the special counsel and trying to this investigation, of course you will check this box. this is a place other investigators have gone before. not the same escalation as we saw with him going after mike pence, but still as you said very unusual. >> ivanka trump was in the oval office when president trump called mike pence to pressure him not to certify the election. she also attended her father's rally near the white house that very same day. israelis and palestinians appear to be locked in a new round of attacks. we'll have a live report from jerusalem coming up. and plus what we're learning

about the security scare of a flight that had to be diverted. and florida's controversial governor is building up quite a war chest as he prepares for a possible run for the white house. which is why we made bounce pet hair and lint guard with three times the pet hair fighting ingredients. just one sheheet helps remove pet hair from your clothes! looking good starts in the dryeyer with bounce pet. we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically tting on a goldmine? i dot think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not evyone knows coventry helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and

a man convicted of killing na rapper was sentenced 60 years to life. he shot him in march 2019 and holder found guilty in july of first degree charges and other charges. holder's father submitted a letter apologizing on behalf of his son. the rapper was founder of a record label and worked with dozens of artists. he was 33. u.n. middle east envoy says he is appalled by the loss of civilian lives in the west bank after a lethal israeli military raid.

israel says the targets were palestinian militants who were told were made up of at least six of the 11 people killed. palestinian authorities -- the palestinian authority calls the operation a massacre and says nearly 500 others were also wounded. that rare daytime raid has been followed by a series of retaliatory rocket attacks. so far no reports of any new casualties today. elliott gotkine is monitoring this for us. a tense situation earlier. >> reporter: very much so, max. as you say this was a rare daytime raid because of the risk to both civilians and of course israeli forces themselves. but according to the israeli defense forces international spokesman, the reason why they carried out this daytime raid which lasted about four hours was because of in his words very specific intelligence indicating

an imminent attack. now, the ids says that it went into try to detain these militants which it says were responsible for killing an israeli soldier. they asked them to surrender, they refused, a gun fight ensued and those three militants inside that house were killed. now, on top of that, and for the eight palestinians that were killed, it seems several at least were civilians. as you say, these numbers for injured, we're talking about more than 100 injured according to the palestinian red crescent, almost 500 in total injured including those injured from inhalation from tear gas and also from shrapnel. so this was obviously a very bloody raid and subsequently we had six rockets fired from the gaza strip toward israel,

israeli retaliating with airstrikes that they say were targeting a weapons storage and manufacturing site. you read the condemnation of the concern from the united nations special coordinator for the middle east peace process and we've also seen condemnation from the saudis, jordanians, use it begin shans and emiratis. and united states state department also putting out a statement saying that it is extremely concerned by the levels of violence in israel and the west bank. we've reached out to the idf to get more details as to just how so many people came to be injured. this of course did happen in the old city, during the day around 10:00 a.m. it started, many people were shopping in the open market there in the old city. but we're trying to get further details as to just how it came to be that so many people were injured as a result of the israeli security forces raid

yesterday. >> okay. we'll be back but with any updates. still to come, alex murdaugh's former law partner takes the stand in the double murder trial. we'll have the details of his testimony next. also ahead, what to do about north korea as it continues to threaten global peace and security. cnn speaks with south korea's top diplomat. . >> we have to create an environment where north korea has no choice but to come back to the negotiation table. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno®

u.s. transportation secretary pete buttigieg heads to east palestine, ohio today to survey the aftermath of the toxic train derailment, this as the ntsb is set to release its preliminary report on how the disaster happened. "new york times" reports that special counsel investigating the january 6 riot is demanding donald trump's daughter ivanka and her husband, jared kushner, appear before a grand jury. sources familiar with the alex murdaugh double murder trial say that he is debating whether or not he will take the stand himself in his own defense. and if he does, it could be as soon as later today. this is after testimony from one of murdaugh's former law partners on wednesday. randi kaye has the details. >> what was his demeanor? >> he was devastated. he was crying, i mean, just beside himself.

>> reporter: alex murdaugh's longtime friend and fellow long partner testifying for the defense and revealing how murdaugh appeared to him soon after the murders. he also helped shore up the defense's theme that the crime scene investigation was sloppy. he described what he saw in the feed room where paul murdaugh was killed after he says investigators had finished processing the scene. >> looking around the floor and all that, just there was a piece of paul's skull about the size of a baseball laying there. >> did that upset you? >> it did, very much. i mean, it infuriated me. kind of like walking across a grave. just one of those things you just don't do. >> reporter: still this defense witness also offered testimony that could help the prosecution. during cross-examination, he identify alex murdaugh's voice on the recording taken at the dog kennels around the time of the murders. >> any did yououbt in your mind

thatting a lex, maggie and paul were on that video at 8:44 p.m.? >> none. >> no daughoubt? >> no doubt. >> reporter: he also said that murdaugh repeatedly told him he wasn't at the kennels earlier in that night. >> now you know that is not true. >> i do. >> and that wasn't the only time he told you that, is it? >> no, at least three times. >> reporter: he also revealed that murdaugh had a couple different versions about how he allegedly checked his family after he said he found them dead. >> in his conversations with you, did he ever change his story about who he checked first at the scene supposedly? >> first time i remember he can checked maggie first and then went to paul. then i heard him say at one point that it was paul and then it was maggie. >> reporter: the cellphone forensics expert also testified for the defense, he analyzed the state's data and time line from the night of the murders. one key finding from him, maggie

murdaugh's phone didn't appear to be motion activated around the time the state suggested alex murdaugh may have tossed it from his car. >> how much motion would be required for the screen to come on? >> very little. >> and the screen never came on. >> that's correct. >> reporter: randi kaye, cnn, walterboro, south carolina. florida's governor has yet to declare himself a republican presidential, but major donors are already throwing money at his highly anticipated campaign. records show ron desantis has raked in nearly $5 million just this month alone. that is on top of the more than $70 million he has left over from last year's re-election effort in florida. republican strategist scott jennings says trump could be in trouble. >> he should definitely be worried. if you look at the numbers, desantis and trump in a lot of the polling have very similar favorability rates, but desantis

has virtually no unfavorability number while trumps are high. and trump is probably the most defined politician in america. he can raise a lot of money, but is seeing a tv commercial about donald trump make you like him or dislike him more than you already do. probably not. desantis will have the war chest do that. so i'd be worried if you were trump. his best hope may be that the field gets so large that people don't have the good sense to get out of the way. that will work in trump's favor. but desantis has the capacity to be a juggernaut, not just on the fundraising side, but i'm telling you, his net favs are really high right now. if you are having trouble finding dole food products in your store, the company was hit with a ransonware cyberattack and temporarily shut down production plants in north

america. dole has notified law enforcement and is cooperating with their investigation. in a victory for american workers, the national labor relations board have ruled companies can no longer silence workers in exchange for severance pay. they say that clauses violate workers' rights. this reverses a decision made by trump era members of the board. still ahead, turkey reveals new relief plans and cracks down on unsafe housing in the wake of the deadly earthquake. a live report from turkey when we return. good thing gertrude found delsym. now what's going around is 12-hour cough relief. and the giggles. the family that takes delsym together, feels better together.

one giant leap for mankind. south korea is taking a hard line towards its northern neighbor amid a flurry of missile launches and nuclear threats. in an interview with cnn, south

korea's foreign minister says only way to counter the nets is the south defense alliance with the u.s. paula hancocks is joinings us live from seoul. what did he mean by that? >> he is effectively saying that what north korea is doing is completely wrong and he is setting south korea very firmly in the camp of united states as we have known, but saying that they will get even closer. an ichlts cbm launch, military parade and threat to use the pacific ocean as a firing range, a busy month for north korea. >> north korea may want to be recognized as a de facto nuclear state, but my government will not accept a nuclear north korea. he may not give it up voluntarily, but the important thing is that we have to create an environment where north korea

has no choice but to come back to the negotiation table. >> any back channels open at the moment? >> not at the moment, no. >> reporter: military drills have intensified in recent months angering pyongyang, a growing call for south korea to have its own nuclear program is not viable according to park. >> we are now currently discussing with the united states on how we can strengthen the extended deterrence. it is under what circumstances and in what way the u.s. nuclear umbrellae activated in times of crisis. >> reporter: park believes pyongyang is learning from the war in ukraine taking advantage of the world looking elsewhere. >> russia is now indicating to use the technical nuclear weapons against ukraine and

north korea is also threatening to use technical nuclear weapons. >> is does the relationship between russia and north korea concern you? >> yes, it is our concern that russia and north korea are cooperating in various ways. and we have to prepare ourselves against any kind of provocation by north korea based on that relationship. >> reporter: the white house announced in december they believe north korea has delivered rockets and missiles to russian mercenary group wagner. as for taiwan and china's threats to take control of the island by force if necessary -- >> we are opposed to unilateral change of status quo by force. so in that session, we will make sure that if something happens in the taiwan straightt, we havo maintain peace and stability on

the peninsula. >> reporter: the foreign minister also said that the u.n. security council can not be silent. he wants to see a more unified response when it comes to north korean transgressions, but of course that is very difficult at the moment with russia and china refusing to side at all with the united states when it comes to condemning anything pyongyang is doing. >> paula, thank you. more than two weeks since the massive earthquake and there is an urgent need for more tents and temporary housing for people in turkey and syria. nearly 900,000 people in turkey are living right now in camps like this one after losing their homes in the quake. on wednesday, the death toll passed 49,000 across turkey and syria. nada bashir is joining us from the turkish port city where she's been reporting all these from these camps. it is amazing they got the camps up and running, but not a long term solution obviously. >> reporter: absolutely. certainly not a long term

solution. this is still and on going process and we're still seeing the camps be sent up. you can see behind me the shear scale of this camp. this has grown overnight. we were here yesterday and there weren't as many tents. so this will be a process for the next weeks and months. already 900,000 people living in tenlts tents and we've had the warning from the united nations that this will get worse, there will be more need. and while some of these families have tents, majority in this camp are from syria originally and have been sleeping on the street the last 2 1/2 weeks and still haven't had a tent. there was one family here, they are originally from allepo, and they have been in turkey for ten years, their house was completely destroyed in the

earthquake. friends of theirs their house wasn't destroyed but after the aftershock oig monday, they are afraid to return for father that they could collapse. and so they have built this tent themselves, this is a makeshift tent, not provided by an aid group. they pasfashioned this together themselves. and over here they piled mattresses and blankets together and that is all that they have at the moment. the government says that they are working on this, they conceded that more needs to be done. they still need to work on it. thousands of people left homeless, thousands of families, loved ones who have been through so much and have absolutely nothing left. and they need the support. now more than two weeks on, they are still many of them sleeping on the street in the cold. >> nada, thank you for showing us that. an american airline flight
