just ahead -- >> you have an individual try to get a bag on a plane and may have tried to put the bag in the plane without actually traveling. >> anything explosive or flammable in the luggage can be extremely dangerous in the cargo hold and could bring down the plane. and robust severe weather outbreak is possible across the deep south that could include tornadoes and large hail. everyone who thought they knew who he was, he has fooled them all for his own storm when would mean consequences for maggie and paul. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is thursday, march 2, 4:00 a.m. in pennsylvania where a man is now in federal custody after
1:02 am
he allegedly tried to bring explosives on a flight to florida. authorities say that the man was arrested at his home monday night after his luggage triggered an alarm at a checkpoint earlier in the day. he was seen leaving the airport after he had been paged by security. a section of the airport was temporarily evacuated as a precaution. more now from evan perez. >> reporter: corraccording to t fbi, he checked the bag and in the routine screening by the tsa, they found explosives in this checked bag. according to the fbi, they found powder that was in a plastic wrap, they found fuses, the powder appears to be from commercial grade fireworks, and so the question is, you know, what was he doing with this.
1:03 am
the airport tried to page him while he was still at the airport. he left. and he was later arrested later that evening on monday by the fbi. court documents that were released today by the u.s. attorney in philadelphia don't mention any indication of extremism or his ties to terrorist groups or anything like that. this is something obviously the fbi was focused on. nothing like that appears to have emerged in that investigation. this is a very serious thing obviously. if you read the court documents, the fbi says that this powder that was included in this compound was susceptible to ignite from heat and friction and pose a significant risk to the aircraft and passengers. spirit airlines plane headed from dulles to orlando was diverted to jacksonville after a crew spotted a battery on fire
1:04 am
in an overhead bin. passenger says it came from a battery pack that was charging a cellphone. the cabin quickly filled with smoke. the crew put out the fire in-flight and firefighters assessed the situation once the plane landed. federal authorities are investigating. and severe turbulence forced a lufthansa flight headed to germany to be diverted to dulles. the airline says seven people were injured when the flight encountered air turbulence which can occur without any warning. a passenger who shot this video says it felt like a roller coaster. there were two sudden drops, plates and glass were flying and people were screaming. the injured passengers were treated on board and taken to hospitals once the plane landed. it has been a pretty rough week for the u.s. severe weather looms. h more than 40 storms have been reported in the southeast.
1:05 am
and more than one million people in georgia, north carolina and tennessee are under tornado warnings. parts of the west coast are trying to thaw out from a massive snowstorm meanwhile. that is moving east. areas in california have seen more than 100 inches of snow in the last week prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency in 13 counties including san bernardino county. >> people have food, shelter, water and heat and their structure is in good condition, they will need to weather this storm. >> many people have been trapped in their homes for days and the worst part is that more snow is now on the way. some are appealing for help online. >> these are the trails we've created just to get out of the house down to the street. and it seems like every time we've shoveled, it comes right
1:06 am
back. >> we're unincorporated and we need help. people are trapped, they cannot get medicine. >> so much spoke that you can see it from space. these are pictures from nasa showing a satellite view before and after the snowfall. incredible. derek van dam has more on the storms developing across the u.s. >> well, max, it is off to the races but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. we have already doubled over two times our average number of tornadoes we would see to date. 218 tornadoes since the start of the year. and we continue to add to that number. a strong line of storms moves across the tennessee river valley. but it is later today that we're more concerned with a more robust severe weather outbreak across eastern texas, portions of louisiana and southern arkansas. we have a level 4 or 5 from the storm prediction center, some could be strong, widespread damaging winds and large hail
1:07 am
possible. so let's break it down for you. focus on the chances of tornadoes. you see that hatched area? that is the greatest possibility. but where the red is, if i was to draw a dot near texarkana or east of dallas, there is a 15% likelihood of a tornado occurring within a 25 mile radius of that dot. talking about severe wind potential, this is the greatest area of severe wind, we could see winds in excess of a category 1 atlantic hurricane, that is just incredible. and on top of the severe weather threat, there is a flash flood threat as well. 1 to 3 inches of rain. locally higher amounts. that is why the national weather service has hoisted flash flood watches. this system is gathering energy from the gulf of mexico, but look what it does in the future. it moves to the northeast and it dumps over half a foot of snow
1:08 am
for chicago, grand rapids, michigan. and look at that upstate new york as well as new hampshire and maine, you could see owe a foot. and look what is happening out west, this is yosemite national park, homes completely buried. palisades near lake tahoe has received over 7 feet of snow in the past three days. and there is already winter storm watches across the region for additional snow that will enter into the equation by the weekend. this is the current system that could produce another half a foot to a foot of snow across northern new mexico. and then the next system enters west coast by the end of friday and into saturday. max, just a very, very busy and active weather pattern to say the least. >> certainly true. and rail workers cleaning the site of last month's toxic

train derailment in east palestine, ohio say they are getting sick. a union letter says many norfolk southern workers are experiencing migraines and nausea. and ohio's governor toured the cleanup operation on wednesday. he says tens of thousands of truckloads of waste will have to be removed from the area. state officials say that nearly 2 million gallons of liquid waste and 700 tons of solid waste have already been moved. america's top diplomat is in new delhi for a meeting of foreign ministers from g-20 countries. antony blinken was greeted by his counterparts there. sergey lavrov is also attending. the war in ukraine expected to dominate the agenda. india's prime minister in his opening speech called on nations to rise above their differences. meanwhile china and belarus are the bprolonged conflict as
1:10 am
lukashenko is visiting beijing. president xi describing their friendship as unbreakable. both leaders called for the soonest possible peace deal in relation to the war in ukraine. this is all as u.s.-made firepower could soon be heading to taiwan. the white house has approved a sale of new weapons for the island, they would include hundreds of missiles for f-16 fighter jets which is likely to inflame the already high tensions between the u.s. and china. more on all this, clare sebastian, but first we'll go to kristie lu stout in hong kong. any response yet to that weaponry deal? >> reporter: oh, yeah. as expected china firmly opposes the deal. wednesday the biden administration said that it approved a potential $619 million weapons deal for taiwan, this would include hundreds of missiles for f-16 fighter jets.
1:11 am
principal contractors include lockheed martin and raytheon that had previously been sanctioned by taiwan. and we heard from a spokesperson who slammed the deal while adding this, stop arm sales to taiwan. and stop creating tensions across the taiwan straits. china will continue taking firm and forceful measures to safe guard its sovereignty and security interests. taiwan's defense ministry welcomed its purchase. it issued its own statement earlier in the day quickly adding the provision of defensive weapons is the basis for preserving regional peace. now, some key context here, this is not the largest u.s. arm sale to taiwan, that happened in september of last year in a deal totaling over $1.1 billion u.s. the last u.s. arms deal to taiwan took place in december of last year. but this latest one will certainly deepen the already
1:12 am
diplomatic rift between the u.s. and china. >> clare, in terms of this really warm language between the leaders of china and belarus, what do you make of that? >> i think that we're seeing a step up certainly from russia and its allies to intensify the relationship with china certainly as we see more pressure coming from the west in terms of aid for ukraine, more pressure from u.s. over the concerns that china might be providing military aid or consider providing military aid to russia. so lukashenko in china right now, and lavrov's first bilateral was with the chinese foreign minister. he called russia and china a stabilizing factor in the whole system of international relations and promised to intensify their cooperation based on the summit of february 4, 2022, which of course was the summit between putin and xi where they declared this was a low limits partnership. he also took aim at the west
1:13 am
saying the west has turned the g-20 into a farce. blaming russia for the failures in the economy. and so i think that those two key things here, big pibts is that the fault line in the world is deepening. they could not agree on a statement a few days ago condemning the war in ukraine. china and russia abstained from that. and the second part is this relationship with china, the u.s. i think will step up the pressure on china potentially over its plans that they think are in place to deliver weapons to russia even though, and this is not a good sign, secretary blinken does not plan to meet with china or russian counterparts. >> okay. thank you both. u.s. foreign affairs committee has signed off on a bill that would give president biden the power to ban tiktok in the u.s. the legislation would allow the executive branch to impose
1:14 am
penalties on chinese-owned companies that are knowingly sharing data with beijing. it was approved despite objections from some lawmakers and civil liberties advocates who argue the proposal threatens online speech. the measure still needs to receive a vote in the house and on the senate floor as well. tic tiktok says every user under 18 will have a one hour screen time limit. and then they would have to enter a pass code if they want to keep swiping. the idea is that it will result in better well-being for the users. the default limits can also be turned off. five, four, three, two, one. and full power and liftoff. >> a four person crew is on its

university of georgia defensive standout jalen carter surrendered late wednesday. he is facing charges of reckless driving and racing in a crash that killed his teammate and team employee. police say that carter was driving another car that officials say was racing the vehicle that crashed. authorities believe alcohol played a part in the crash which came just hours after the georgia bulldogs celebrated their second consecutive national championship. carter shared this statement on his social media writing, there is no question in my mind that when all of the facts are known, that i will be fully exonerated of any criminal wrongdoing. now to the latest in the alex murdaugh trial, his defense team will present its closing arguments in the coming hours in an attempt to convince the jury that he didn't kill his wife and son. as randi kaye reports, the prosecution made its case wednesday after the jury toured
1:21 am
the crime scene. >> on june 7, 2021, at the property, maggie and paul were brutally and maliciously murdered at the kennels by alex murdaugh. >> reporter: just before closing arguments, the jury visited the kennels, the crime scene up close for the first time. video of the scene, not the jurors, was allowed to be recorded by the media. the jury saw this small room where paul was killed. >> he took the shot to the chest and it didn't kill him. alex thought it did. he picked up the blackout and was startled by paul, and that is why the angle is like that and it catches paul like that. and goes up into the ceiling as you've heard the testimony from kinsey. and blows his brains out. >> reporter: paul fell to the concrete after the second fatal
1:22 am
shot. his brain hitting the pavement. as the jury could see at the scene, all of that was within sight of where maggie murdaugh's body was found on the grass near the shed. the two shootings were just about 12 steps apart. listen as the prosecutor recreates the alleged events including the use of the second gun, the blackout rifle. >> maggie sees what happens and she comes running over there, running to her baby. probably the last thing on her mind thinking that it was him who had done this. while he's gotten picked up the lackout, and opens fire, and she takes those two shots and it crumples her over. >> reporter: and prosecutors zeroed in on how murdaugh lied about being at the kennels around the time of the murders. the video later found on paul's cellphone was reported at 8:44 p.m. minutes before prosecutors say they were killed. alex murdaugh can be heard
1:23 am
talking in the background though for 20 months he denied being there. >> why in the world would an innocent reasonable father and husband lie about that and lie about it so early? he didn't know that was there. >> reporter: the prosecutor reminded the jury that the state's ballistic expert determined that it was a family weapon, a 300 blackout weapon that killed maggie. he based it on the fact that shell casings found near the body matched casings scattered all over the property. in other words the gun had been used there many times before. >> a family blackout killed maggie. it was present just a couple months prior to the murders and it is gone now. a family weapon the defendant cannot account for killed maggie. >> reporter: the prosecutor left the jury with this life --
1:24 am
>> we couldn't bring you any eyewitnesses because they were murdered. but common sense and human nature can speak on behalf of maggie and paul. when you look at this in its totality, common sense and human nature can speak for them. they deserve a voice. >> reporter: the defense will get its chance at a closing argument tomorrow and following that, the state will have a chance at a reply closing argument. following that, the jury will get the case and deliberations will begin. randi kaye, cnn, walterboro. police in the uk say they found human remains near an area where an aristocrat and her partner were arrested and a baby's body found in a wooded area close to where they were taken into custody earlier this
1:25 am
week. they went missing in earlien gentleman and believed to be traveling with a newborn. but the couple was spotted monday in southern england. metropolitan police say the couple has been arrested on suspicion of gross they go against manslaughter. the greek prime minister says tragic human error is the main cause of the head-on train crash that has left at least 46 people dead. dozens of passengers are hurt and crews are still sifting through the wreckage searching for any signs of life. and the greek transportation minister has resigned. a train station manager has been arrested. and the greek government has declared three days of national mourning. eleni giokos is covering the collision for us. demonstrations are flaring up because there are clearly long standing issues with the rail system can which many people are blaming for this. >> reporter: and it was
1:26 am
well-known. i think that is what hurts the most for greeks watching this tragedy playing out. that it was well-known that the greek railway system was archaic, it needed to be modernized, there weren't safety systems in place. clearly when you have two trains traveling towards at each other at high speeds, no one picked that up. i just heard from the greek fire department on local media, 46 people now have lost their lives. herculean tasks playing out right now where they are trying to work through the mounted metal in the first two carriages. and we said a fire broke outreaching temperatures of over 1300 degrees celsius and they pulled out seven more people, seven more bodies that were badly burnt. dna testing is basically the only way they say to be able to identify the people that lost
1:27 am
their lives. greece is in mourning today. i think in shock. there is a somber mood. i've spoken to a few people there. and it is so tragic because this is also very important week, it was carnival weekend, it was ash monday, people had moved around the country to visit family. mostly university students are some of the victims. i want to show you some of the front pages and headlines that really struck me. one of them was this is not a mistake, it is a crime. the other headline, the dead is waiting. why? just one question, why? and one that really got me, because my mother says this all the time, call me when you get there. and of course those calls for so many people just didn't come through. the transport minister resigning yesterday. also basically admitting to the fact that they had tried to upgrade, efforts weren't sufficient. the station manager being arrested and charged as well.
1:28 am
investigation and commission of inquiry has been put together as well. but greeks have the question why and how. >> and people are saying this was human error. ultimately the system just didn't work, right, and that is the issue that these demonstrators have with the government. >> reporter: absolutely. look, the demonstrations are basically people coming out and saying that this shouldn't have happened. it is not about it not happening again. and they blame the company, but it is not just the train company that needs to be investigated. but also the state owned enterprises that run the system. there is a value chain that occurs here. so say the station manager made the mistake. why wasn't there any other, you know, default safety mechanisms that would have kicked in at some point. and greek media is saying and
1:29 am
some of the passengers are saying that you can check on your phone to see how far the food is when you order online but you don't know where the trains are going, there is no electronic system. and i think these are the questions that people are asking and people are in shock and clearly experiencing so much anger along with pain. >> such a difficult time for everyone involved. thank you so much for joining us. a u.s. passenger jet had a close call on the runway again. still ahead the man who could lead the top aviation agency is pushed to explain what he would do about that. and also ahead, a major drug maker has announced it is cutting the price of a common form of insulin in the u.s. 12 h! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or nightht. mucinex dm. it's comeback season.

1:35 am
learjet did not have takeoff clearance. the crew was told to line up and wait on the raun we oig for the blu jetblue flight but began taking off instead. all were unharmed. >> pilots did an incredible job. we came in, it was a scary situation. but it was very smooth. >> reporter: the incident is the fifth of its type this year following similar close calls at jfk, austin, honolulu and burbank. one of many challenges facing the faa still without a permanent leader. wednesday senators took up the nomination of phil washington to head the agency but called into question his lack of aviation safety experience. >> have you ever flown a plane? >> thank you for the question, senator. no, i have never flown a plane. aviation right now, we cannot think about doing things the old way. and so i think that fresh perspective is needed.
1:36 am
obviously safety is number one. >> reporter: a confirmed leader of the faa will have to answer for why so many of these incidents are happening lately. the overall number of runway incursions nationwide went up in 2022. in this latest incident flight radar 24 says the planes came as close as 565 feet to one another, we're talking less than two football fields and at those speeds only seconds apart. pete muntean, cnn, reagan national airport. and eli lilly is capping the price americans will pay for a common form of insulin. out of pocket costs will be limited to $35 a month for people with private insurance. uninsured would also pay $35 or less per month. and according to the american diabetes association, average price of insulin nearly trip

merrick garland faced hours of hostile questioning by senators wednesday over the sensitive high profile investigations under way .justice department. paula reid has more on the fiery exchanges as garland tried to stand his ground. >> reporter: attorney general merrick garland faced furious lawmakers on capitol hill. >> you are the attorney general of the united states. you are in charge of the justice department and, yes, sir, you are responsible. so give me an answer. >> reporter: his first appearance before congress this year comes amid high profile investigations into president biden and former president trump and their handling of classified documents. garland warning that he would not reveal details of any ongoing probes. >> so that we do not jeopardize the viability of our investigations and the civil liberties of our citizens. >> reporter: but garland was willing to explain why he has not appointed a special counsel to handle an investigation into hunter biden focused on taxes
1:42 am
and other issues. >> i promised to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware who was appointed in the previous administration. >> reporter: but after months of republicans railing against the fbi for its search of trump's mar-a-lago home, they didn't bring it up until four hours in. >> i approved the decision to seek a search warrant after probable cause -- >> overruling the fbi agents who did not want to do so. >> reporter: republicans slammed garland alleging the justice department improperly leaked information about high profile investigations. >> among other things, i believe you very much want to indict donald j. trump. when it politically benefited the effort to go after and charge donald trump doj leaked. when it potentially harmed the democrat president, dment on j did not leak. does that strike you as at all a double standard? >> leaks under all circumstances
1:43 am
are inappropriate and they are not directed by anyone in the justice department. >> reporter: garland repeatedly defended the department against accusations of partisanship. >> i also want to at least respond to your characterization of the department which i vigorously disagree with. i believe the men and women of the department pursue their worker single day in a nonpartisan and appropriate way. >> reporter: as republicans hammered him on protests at the homes of supreme court court justices and other conservative causes. >> your failure to act to protect the safety of the justices and their families was an obvious product of political bias. >> reporter: garland saying his decision to have u.s. marshals protect the justices 24/7 was unprecedented. >> senator, you asked me whether i sat on my hands and quite the opposite, i sent 70 united states marshals -- >> let me try again. has the department of justice brought even a single case under the statute? it is a yes/no question. not a give a speech on the other
1:44 am
things you did. >> the job of the united states marshals is to defend the lives -- >> so the answer is no. >> -- defend the lives of the justices. that is their number one priority. >> reporter: amid all the bickering, there was one clear area of bipartisan consensus. leaders of the committee from both parties and the attorney general all agree we must do more to combat fentanyl. senator lindsey graham, republican of course, got the attorney general to admit that the current approach just isn't working and the attorney general said that he would welcome more resources from congress for this fight. paula reid, cnn, washington. the u.s. air force has fired six people after their units failed nuclear weapons safety inspections. two commanders and four subordinates were let go after failing to ensure that the stockpile was safe and secure at all times. no indication the failure is directly related to the direct handling of a nuclear weapon, but the global strike command
1:45 am
spokesman said that we have discipline protocols and we expect 100% compliance and anything less is unacceptable. it is that important to us. thankfully. now, iranian media are reporting a disturbing rash of alleged poisonings at girls schools across the country. a lawmaker says nearly 900 students are being treated for poisonings over the past three months. no deaths have been reported, but victims apparently experience muscle weakness, nausea and fatigue. there is speculation it may be part of a campaign by islamic hard linerses to shuts down the schools for girls. the education minister says a task force is investigating. emma has taken balling this for ufor -- following this for us. >> and what is interesting, these incidents have been
1:46 am
happ happening since the end of november and many parents say in essence being gas lit by iranian employees. they say that these incidents are being triggered by rumors and it is only in the last day or two when the shear weight of the numbers, almost 1,000 students, finally has the state begun speaking more concretely about what needs to happen. but we have been able to communicate with some of the students who were themselves targeted, some of the parents. and it is heartbreaking because there is so much confusion. we can show some video of a recent attack yesterday in which over 100 students were taken out in a stretcher just absolutely distraught. because there is really no understanding of what this could be and it is against the backdrop of iranian women, young women, school girls speaking out, fighting for their rights. and there is a concern that this
1:47 am
could be some sort of retribution or some sort of way of bringing them back into line. parents are as you can understand just absolutely beside themselves. and there is a really terrifying parallel which is what happened at the girls school in afghanistan when students suddenly were taken ill there. that was a lot more physically traumatic than what we're seeing here. but the context is just so incredibly troubling. >> thank you. and protests against benjamin netanyahu's plan to weaken the judiciary intensified on wednesday. police clashed with demonstrators trying to block a major intersection. stun grenades were fired in an effort to clear the crowds. a local hospital say 11 people were treated for injuries. and also protestors were around

1:53 am
>> reporter: that's right. the labour party has said that they will contest this in court. this will go up to the court of appeal, but it does not have a ro record of overturning any election. and so not many think it is independent enough to do so. but bola ahmed tinubu believes that the election was free and fair no matter what anybody said and he went on to accept the certificate of return, that is the official document that recognizes that he won the election. however he did also acknowledge that not everybody is happy. listen. >> i know many did not vote for me. and you are disappointed that your candidate is not where i stand now.
