bianca is off. but just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> the amount is just extraordinary. >> you can imagine opening up your front door and seeing that snowy sight? that is what some residents in california are witnessing with more snow to come. it gives the chinese communist party the ability to manipulate our social discourse. >> to countries in the region, it is not a choice between washington and beijing, it is a choice between sovereignty and servitude. >> what he did to his family, what he's did to so many people, yes, i experienced a lot of anger. >> seems the state's position is let no ted dead horse go unbeat. this has got to stop. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster

and bianca nobilo. >> it is wednesday, march 1. 9:00 a.m. in london, 1:00 a.m. in california where more snow is heading for a state already enduring a treacherous winter storm. parts of california have 7 feet of snow as a freezing cold system moves inland over the united states. residents say that it is nothing like they have ever seen before. >> i've been up here since '99 and this is the worst. can't even see my house. it is all the way to the top. >> the storm system is not just spreading snow, it is also spreading panic as resources grow scarce. cities in the san bernardino mountains are facing food and fuel shortages because of dangerous conditions on the roads. >> we tried to find some stuff, the medication, and they didn't have it. >> a lot of people are running out of milk, bread, all the

little stuff. fruit. more dog food, cat food. and so it is just anything that we can get is great. >> california's highway patrol is warning residents to stay off the roads if possible. visibility is so low, parts of the interstate near the nevada border have been shut down until conditions improve. derek van dam has the latest forecast and where the winter weather is expected to head to next. >> yeah, max, it really is incredible to see what is happening in the state of california. heavy snow has paralyzed some communities especially in the mountainness terrain with multiple feet being reported. this is a video tweeted out by the san bernardino county sheriff, they are going from community to community to check in on how people are doing handling the situation. there is actually abandoned vehicles on the highways here in zuckerberg county this is just north and east of the los

angeles area and they have received so much snow that it is piling up to the tops of the first levels of their homes. just incredible. can you imagine opening your door and seeing that sight? guess what, some of the ski resorts have simply seen too much snow to even open. isn't that the purpose of a ski resort to have as much snowfall as possible? how much too much of a good thing. palisades for instance around the lake tahoe region has received 38 inches of snow in 24 hours. and that is just simply too much snow for them to handle safely, so they had to close the resort. this is what is happening now. we have another storm system that will add additional snowfall. so san bernardino mountains winter storm warnings for you. blizzard warnings across the sierra nevada. and it will dump more into utahw

mexico. and then it will interact with warmer air from the gulf of mexico and you get the severe weather outbreaks. so not to be confused with what is entering the west coast, that will trigger off a few thunderstorms across the deep south today, but it is really the big show on thursday that i'm concerned about. the low pressure system that brought the snowfall to california is going to advance eastward and it is going to pick up some strength and create a line of severe weather on thursday even into friday morning for east texas as well as portions of louisiana into arkansas and mississippi and already an enhanced risk of severe weather from dallas to jackson. and on top of the severe weather threat, more heavy rainfall with the potential for flash flooding. we'll keep a close eye on it. back to you. and it is just after 11:00 a.m. in greece where crews are searching for survivors after a terrible train wreck. is so far more than three dozen people are confirmed dead after

a passenger train collided with a freight train. we learned moments ago that they were apparently traveling on the same track for quite a while as well. authorities are trying to identify the victims. and let's go to dubai. you are tracking this for us. what do we know about what happened here? it is very powerful from the pictures how bad it is. >> reporter: it is bad. and you have a cargo train traveling and the passenger train was coming from athenss, head-on collision. and you can see thegled metal. they are trying to cut through the two first carriages. and that is the fear that more people are trapped and the death toll rising now to 38. when i was last on air, it was

36. you've got 66 people that are injured, seven of whom are currently in intensive care. you are seeing lines of people waiting to donate blood. so the big question is what happened here, how did they collide. the national broadcaster reporting that at some point the passenger train changed lanes and was traveling for quite some time on the same line as the cargo train. and then of course that resulted in a collision. the question is, is it technical fault, is it human error. who is going to be taking responsibility for this. investigations are currently under way. we know the prime minister is on the way to the crash area. but in the meantime, what we're hearing from the hospital is that parents, family, loved ones, people traveling on the train have gathered to try to identify the dead. the issue is that it is di

difficult to identify some of the people because the injuries were absolutely so severe. we've also heard reports from some passengers that they were being thrown around in the carriages also as the fire broke out, some people were burned. so we're talking about a very traumatic severe experience. and as we go through and rescue, almost 12 hours since the accident occurred and you are seeing major response from international communities, specifically the european commission is extending condolences, so too the eu. council president as well, various countries in europe, but in the meantime, greeks are waiting to see how it happened, max, and importantly why. >> being on the same track for such a period of time and no one realizing. thank you so much for bringing us that. for the first time since

1983, chicago's mayor lightfoot conceded after failing to receive a spot in the top two runoff. she couldn't overcome a spike in violent crime. she was the first black and openly gay person to lead chicago. long time public schools chief paul vallas is advancing to the runoff. he is facing brandon johnson, cook county commissioner popular with progressives. no candidate received more than 50% of the vote. >> when people tell me that this used to be the city that works and it doesn't work anymore, i'll tell you the city has never really been the city that works for everyone. but it will be when i am mayor. >> we give people a guarantee, no longer can we leave it to chance that our children will have quality schools, good

paying jobs and an environment that speaks to justice. we can't leave it to chance because i believe in us, you believe in me, chicago, we can have a better chicago. u.s. lawmakers believe threats imposed by the chinese government wrapped up their hearing. jessica dean has the details. >> reporter: the house select committee on china holding a hearing on tuesday night, it is the first primetime hearing for the gop-led house since the gop took over back in january. and this committee enjoys wide bipartisan support. its formation was assumed by a wide bipartisan margin in that vote that took place earlier this year and now they are really hoping to inform americans about the threat china imposes about the united states. and to that end, there are several key areas they were

hoping to focus in on, those include covid-19, the chinese spy balloon, china support of russia in its fight against ukraine, and then also the future of ittic tok. the tiktok. they had a number of witnesses including two chinese experts -- -- experts on china, rather. hr mcmaster and also a former deputy national security adviser and expert on china matthew pottinger, again trying to set the tone for the committee going forward. it is also worth noting that on tuesday the biden administration warning that any chinese firm or person that gives lethal aid to russia and its fight against ukraine will be targeted by underscoring this international rivalry. jessica dean, cnn, capitol hill. and chinese surveillance tactics were brought up by the witnesses including the spy balloon which one witness said is a small part of beijing's

espionage activities. >> i think the message is that we are intending to continue a broad range of surveillance activities. the balloon i think is in many ways a metaphor for the massive effort at espionage. >> it withes also talked about the growing concerns over wechat and tiktok.also talked about the growing concerns over wechat and tiktok. >> the bigger coup for the chinese communist party if tiktok is conpermitted to conti to operate in the united states is that it gives the communist party the ability to manipulate our social discourse, the news, to censor and suppress or to amplify what tens of millions of americans see and read and experience and hear through their social media app.

>> it is not just dances and kids stuff. it is becoming a major source of news for a generation of americans. meanwhile the u.s. is weighing stricter measures against the app tiktok, the house foreign affairs committee is set to vote on a bill that would allow the biden administration to ban the app nationwide. it calls for penalties to be imposed if the company is determined to have knowingly shared user data with the chinese government. and european parliamentktoks in their main institutions. parliament also strongly recommended that its member and staff remove it from their personal devices. and here is what the fbi director said to fox news about the origin of the coronavirus. >> the fbi has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most

likely a potential lab incident in wuhan. so here you are talking about a potential leak from a chinese government controlled lab that killed millions of americans. and that is exactly what that capability was designed for. >> and those comments are just days after news of the same assessment from the u.s. department of energy. beijing says a lab leak is highly unlikely. and there is a meeting in beijing amid growing speculation that china might consider sending lethal aid to moscow. the u.s. state department says chinese engagement with belarus is just another sign of their growing relationship with

russia. kristie lu stout is in hong kong with more on this. this is russia's closest ally, putin's closest ally in china. so the optics are worrying for some in the west. >> reporter: absolutely. especially what is happening right now. according to belarus state media, we know alexander lukashenko is right now meeting with xi jinping in beijing during this state visit with the red carpet rolled out for this key putin ally. according to state media, the two are to discuss economic issues, investment, trade, humanitarian cooperation as well as something termed as acute international challenges, believed to be code for the war in ukraine. previously earlier this afternoon, lukashenko already met with china's premier and the belarus government released a statement with a quote of the chinese premier hailing the long term relationship between these two countries.

and this cited from the premier saying our relations are built on the basis of cooperation and mutual benefit, our relations are very broad prospects for development. i'm sure belarusian relationships are developing with a long term friendship. this is as the u.s. saying that china is considering sending lethal support to russia, china continues to push back on that allegation. and accuses the u.s. of pouring lethal weapons in to ukraine. china considers itself a neutral actor despite its no-limits relations with russia. they released that 12 point piece position paper that was criticized by western officials who said that china is firmly on side with russia and that view is likely to be very much strengthened when the optics of this visit comes out, just the rolling out of the red carpet for again a coulkey putin ally.

>> thank you. and the top u.s. house republican is giving security footage from the january 6 attack on the capitol to the lawyers of the defendants facing charges in the insurrection. kevin mccarthy was already under fire for giving tucker carlson access to the video before it is widely released. manu raju pressed mccarthy on that earlier on. >> are you concerned about the fact that carlson down played this attack? you called it a very serious attack. >> it is a serious attack. and i think sunshine matters and i don't care what side of the issue you are on. >> by sunshine he means mccarthy and he went on to suggest that cnn might misuse the video and show exit rooms. it is 42,000 hours of footage. and the federal aviation administration investigating

another close call at an airport, it says air traffic controllers at boston logan stopped a departing private jet from running in to a jetblue flight as it was coming into land. pete muntean has the latest. >> good news is the safety system worked, but the disturbing news is that these near collisions at u.s. major airports have happened five times this year in jfk, in austin, at honolulu, in burbank and now in boston on monday night. the faa says a jetblue flight was coming into land on boston logan's runway as a private lear jet took off across the run way in front of it, worse yet the faa says the private jet did not have clearance to take off. it was told to line up and wait on that crossing runway and not take off. this is the statement from the faa, it says a lear jet pilot read back the instructions clearly but began a takeoff

instead. the pilot tof the jetblue took evasive action. nobody hurt, but flight radar 24 and preliminary review of data says that these flights came within about 565 feet of colliding. the faa will determine how close these airplanes actually came the agency says. the ntsb not investigating this incident just yet, although it is investigating those four others. pete muntean, cnn, washington. consumer warning today for owners of certain models of rogue suvs are being recalled, this impacts 2016 to 2020. and rogue sport from 2017 to 2022. the metal key in the fob can break and the car may accidentally turn off.

ohio governor mike dewine will return to east palestine in the coming hours where the derailed earlier this month. he will get an update on the water and soil testing. earlier epa chief visited the site again, this as indiana's governor complained that he didn't know some of the hazardous waste was being moved to a for afacility in his state.

>> what i want to do is be on the same page for all of the elected officials. >> the governor of indiana says he's heard third hand this waste is coming to his state and has questions. >> any governor, any mayor that wants to have a conversation with welcome those conversations. we want people to understand that we are experienced in this and transparency is key. now the long battle for bakhmut appears to be reaching a crescendo as ukraine's military says russian forces have intensified their assault on that small city. ukraine's president says this presents the most dinkts chalc difficult challenges. and ukraine's military will weigh all options including

strategically pulling back if needed. ukraine says the city is not surrounded, several thousand civilians are believed to be largely cut off from humanitarian aid. ukrainian soldiers say the situation is hellish. >> translator: over the past 24 hours, the enemy is raging. shelling with all they have. they don't really have success on the ground. hence they are making it up from the skies. they are just breaking this city into molecules. >> salma, you said before this is not a strategically important city but symbolically important to both sides. >> absolutely symbolically important. president zelenskyy went to bakhmut just before his visit to d.c. in december and he pledged that every single inch of ukrainian land would be won back, no blood would be lost in

vain. and russia made it important because russian forces are so hard trying to win that they are throwing they can at ukrainian fo forces, lobbing everything that they can at this line of resistance that has been withstanding attacks now from russian forces for over six months. again, i want to show you where it is, just this 36 miles of territory that lies mend betwe donetsk and luhansk. so president zelenskyy feels it is important to win this territory because he's promised to win everything back but also he feels that if russian forces are able to enter bakhmut, that gives them an opportunity to expand in the russian controlled areas. russian officials have been saying a very different thing. we understand from western

sources including in d.c. that u.s. officials, u.s. partners, the western allies that are providing the weapons to president zelenskyy say that maybe he should back down from bakhmut again because it is not strategically important. they want to see president zelenskyy focus on the south of the country. they feel there is an opportunity there particularly as we think about offensive to regain ground. remember kherson. we have the spring offensive coming. there is an opportunity there according to western officials for president zelenskyy to gain ground, to make more use of the weapons he is being given by western officials and to have a bigger victory if you will in the spring offensive. but again president zelenskyy not backing down from bakhmut. he says whatever it takes, he will keep fighting. >> salma, thank you very much. dramatic moments in the double murder trial of a south carolina lawyer. experts debate the height of the killer and what is known about the fatal shots. small liberal arts college

welcome back. i'm max foster. let me bring you up-to-date with our top stories. another round of winter weather hitting -- or expected to hit california. parts of the state have been buried in up to 7 feet of snow the past few days as a freezing cold system moves inland over the u.s. and authorities are searching for survivors of a double train

collision that killed at least 38 people in greece. conservative allies of ron desantis are quickly shaking things up at a small liberal arts college, the school's board of trustees which includes several members hand picked by desantis voted tuesday to abolish all diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the new college of florida. the governor's critics say it is nothing more than a political power move as he prepares for a widely expected presidential run. the school's interim president explained the reasons for the changes but students are voicing their concerns. >> new college has experienced every kind of threat to its very existence, to its very autonomy. and what governor desantis -- he looked back at the history, he digs into the subject matter and says why are we trying to move it, close it, all these different things that have been proposed over those 12 years. when what it needs is new

leadership to come in there, additional funding. >> we do not welcome you here because you do not reflect the values of the new college community and you do not respect the people here who have poured their blood, sweat and tears into this institution. >> meanwhile governor desantis is on a nationwide wood tour and offered defense of his culture war agenda. >> they want you to believe that babies are born racist. they want you to believe things that you know based on common sense is not true but they want that ideology to govern society. and i think the reason why it has been a threat is because, yes, they are trying to jam it in the schools. we recognize here in the state of florida that part of what makes us the free state of florida is, yes, we're protecting your freedom from government overreach, but we're also protecting your freedom from having the left's pathologies slammed down your

throat through these institutions. and the jury in the murdaugh murder trial is expected to visit the scene of the crime. murdaugh is accused of killing his wife and son in an attempt to cover up financial crimes. and on tuesday the prosecution wrapped up its rebuttal. randi kaye explains what happened in court. >> is if it your expert opinion that 6'4" shooter cannot be excluded from the murder of maggie and paul? >> i see nothing that could exclude a 6'4" shooter. >> reporter: the expert in crime scene investigation and recreation called back to the stand by the state to dispute key testimony. a forensic scientist testified for the defense and told the jury whoever killed maggie and paul murdaugh was likely much shorter than alex murdaugh who is about 6'4". but the prosecution's expert disagreed. >> can a person be on their knee

and get the same angle and be standing and get the same angle? >> yes, sir. >> can a 6'4" person and a 5'4" person still shoot the same angle just at different instances? >> absolutely. >> can you exclude a 6'4" defendant like alex murdaugh or anyone for that matter at that height from shooting that shotgun at that angle? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: in one of the most dramatic moments of the trial, south carolina attorney general alan wilson pointed a shotgun to illustrate another defense theory the state also believes is flawed. >> do you give me permission to point this at you? >> i have. >> reporter: they say it was a downward facing contact wound meaning the barrel was up against his head. but this court demonstration was designed to show why prosecutors say that just doesn't make sense. >> okay. paul has just been shot. >> yes, sir.

>> and in the defense's theory, you tell me what do and you act this out. and i'll do what you tell me do. >> the defense agreed with the assessment that paul stood there for a moment bleeding down his injured left arm and slowly walked toward the door. >> okay. and what does the shooter do? >> the shooter is coming in the door. and he shoots paul in the back of the head after he passes him. >> okay. and then shoots paul in the back of the head like this -- >> pre-fosterrous. >> shooter is shooting down. how do pellets get into the door frame up here, how is that possible? >> i think it is impossible myself. physics don't work that way. they would turn around because of the pressure, go back the opposite direction 180 degree

direction at enough velocity to dent a steel exterior door and embed in the door frame. that doesn't happen. >> reporter: the defense did its best to push back. >> so you believe that this pellet that is in the doorjamb came through his shoulder, through his neck, out the top of the his head and ended up at that location? >> well, it didn't turn around and came out the top of his head. >> reporter: randi kaye, cnn, walterboro, south carolina. and san francisco leaders have approved controversial legislation meant to tackle fatal drug overdoses. the city's board of supervisors unanimously voted to allow nonprofit groups to operate supervised drug injection sites as long as it is with private funding. federal and california state laws currently bar government funds going towards the programs along with medical supervision,

nigeria has declared the winner of its controversial presidential election. bola ahmed tinubu will now lead the province despite people saying that the vote was rigged. stephanie busari is there for

us. will they accept him? >> reporter: that remains to be seen, max. this morning everything is going on as normal. i suspect that many nigerians will shrug it off and go about their daily business. there will be disappointment among young voters who were complaining vigorously over tinubu. but 24 million people voted and that many have said is not a ringing endorsement for this election or indeed nigerian democracy. many do not feel that their vote counts or that the outcomes of elections will change their lives. now, bola ahmed tinubu is part of the old guard, part of the team that helped elect the outgoing president. and many people wanted a different type of leader. but he has said that he is ready

to work from day one. he is appealing to the opposition candidates who are rejecting these results. and asking them to come together to, quote, fix the broken pieces of the country. and there are many broken pieces. the country is very divided along religious lines, along ethic lines and now generational lines with young people who were backing the third party -- the labour party candidate. so it is an uphill battle. many have said that who have the health and agility to lead the nation, but he says he has it. it remains to be seen. >> okay. stephanie, thank you very much for all your reporting on this. and iran's foreign minister recently sat down with christiane amanpour for an exclusive interview cuffing a ra -- covering a range of topics including alleged sexual abuse of anti-government protestors.

>> when you say islamic republic of iran respects human rights, one female protestor says that she was detained inside a revolutionary guard facility for more than a month and raped by three different men. she went to a cleric afterwards because she was having suicide thoughts, she was so upset, cnn spoke with that cleric. that acceptable, is it acceptable for a woman, whatever she's done, to be arrested and raped and then many, many, many reports of sexual abuse in this situation against women and men? >> translator: firstly, in a peaceful demonstrations in the fall, no one was arrested. >> so you are just denying that. >> translator: however, in those protests that have become violent, some individuals, some of whom had entered iran from the outside, and were using

firearms and killing the police, were arrested. you to do know supreme leader issued amnesty and all those imprisoned were released with the exception of those who had killed someone or had been sued. regarding the iranian woman you mentioned, i cannot confirm it. there have been so many baseless claims made on social media and in media. >> they were not baseless. cnn spoke to a cleric, a religious person inside your country and got this story. >> translator: we have seen some of cnn's reports that are targeted and false. >> that is not true. we report the facts and we report the truth and that is why you are sitting here with me, mr. foreign minister. >> tune into her exclusive interview covering topics including crackdown on protestors supplying russia with drones and iran's uranium

a look ahead at wall street as we enter a new month, this follows a volatile february of course. strong economic data and persistent inflation are fueling fears the federal reserve will keep hiking interest rates and keep them higher for longer as well. the dow fell more than 4% for the month and is down 8.5% for the year. the s&p 500 dropped 2.6% and the nasdaq has shed just over 1%. meanwhile new survey shows american consumers felt worse about the u.s. economy in february with fears of a recession still looming. the latest data from the conference board shows consumer confidence fell by several points last month when economists were expecting it to rise. one of the last aid programs from the covid pandemic in the u.s. is ending today, the s.n.a.p. program benefits provided millions with extra

help to buy food during the pandemic. many states had already let this benefit expire and now the remaining 32 states will end the program as well. additional food stamps will be discontinued even as inflation in the u.s. continues to soar. the biden administration says that it is confident the u.s. supreme court will rule in favor of its student loan debt relief programt the conservative majority is potentially poised to deal a blow to the president's plan. here is justice correspondent jessica schneider. >> reporter: big stakes for more than 40 million student loan borrowers as the supreme court decides whether a program eliminating up to $20,000 in debt per borrower can go into effect. >> to provide a measure of loan forgiveness to ensure that this unprecedented pandemic does not leave borrowers worse off in relation to their student loans. >> reporter: the biden administration is defending their student loan forgiveness program arguing that it is necessary in the wake of the covid pandemic.

but the conservative justices completedly zeroed in on the $400 billion plus price tag to question whether the president by way of police education sect has secretary has the power to enact this kind of relief. >> i think most casual observers will say if you are going to give up that much money, if you are going to affect the obligations of that many americans on a subject of great controversy, that is something that congress should act on. >> reporter: solicitor general responded that federal law allowed the education sent to waive the payments. >> and without the critical relief for debtors, we'll have a wave of default across the country with all the negative consequences that has for borrowers. i think this is precisely the context where the executive should be able to implement those emergency powers. >> reporter: the supreme court has repeatedly struck down

things such as vaccine mandate for large employers. and this uses the pandemic to justify for giving $10,000 in federal loans for people making under $125,000 or $20,000 in loans for those with spell fwrgrspell grants. justice neil gorsuch asked whether that undermines basic fairness. >> i think what the argument is missing is cost to other persons in terms of fairness, people who paid their loans, people who don't -- plan their lives around not seeking loans and people who are not eligible for loans in the first place. and that half a trillion dollars is being diverted to one group of favored persons over others. >> reporter: so a lot on the line for millions of borrowers. if the supreme court upholds this program, debt cancellation could come pretty quickly because the biden administration has already approved 16 million
