11:02 pm
little more than 24 hours after another norfolk southern freight train derailed. it was the second derailment by that company in that state in a little over a month after the toxic crash in east palestine. cnn paula sanvol has latest >> general manager of norfolk southern the owner and operator of the train involved in saturday's derailment saying there were hazardous materials transported on this train including ethanol and propane, but they were not on the train cars that actually left the tracks on saturday. it's almost 20 out of the 212 train cars actually left the tracks as this train was headed from northern ohio to birmingham, alabama. authorities are shifting their focus on four tanker train cars, two were hauling being described asfluid, the

usot to treat waste water. authorities saying train cars did not experience any sort of spillage. so the head of the epa and the state of ohio saying there was no chemical release into the air, into the water and soil. so now, a lot of the focus will certainly be on a massive clean-up process underway that in springfield, ohio, and also in the investigation as we try to find out exactly what led to this derailment. a millennial over a month. a the toxic tragedy that took place in east palestine ohio, same rail company and the same state, however, at this point, the investigation is nothing would lead investigators to believe they could potentially be linked bit a reminder that these kinds of derailments are happening according to the federal railroad administration, 1,000 derailments happening in the u.s. per year. polo, cnn new york here in georgia, 30 people

11:06 pm
anniversary of bloody sunday in sal a.m. alabama talking about that moment where 600 people marched across the edison pet di son bridge, but were severely beaten by officer, president biden said this is a moment in history that must not be erased and people must learn the good and bad of american history. the president once again pushed for voting rights legislation, something that he promised during his 2020 presidential campaign, but has yet to come to fruition since he has been in the white house. take a lunch what he had to say. >> selma is reckoning the right to vote, right to vote, to have your vote counted is the threshold of democracy and liberty. with it anything is possible. without it, without that right, nothing is possible. and this fundamental right remains under assault
11:07 pm
conservative supreme court gutted the voting rights act over the year >> so far two pieces of legislation have floundered on capitol hill. democrats were unable to get something across the finish line both chambers of the capitol and now with house republicans in control on the house side it makes it that much more difficult, many activists have become frustrated with the white house with members on capitol hill for their inability to get if you voting rights protections enshrined into law. he also marched across that bridge, the 600 activists marched across just 58 yogurt a poignant moment reminder of the history of selma alabama in the civil rights movement the president while he was here talked about the tornado that ripped through the community back in january and said there's still work to be done for this
11:08 pm
community to recover. but his main folk here was trying to shine a spotlight on voting rights at a moment where legislation stalled in congress. arlette, saenz, cnn alabama. one prominent republican announced he won't run for president next year, former maryland governor larry hogan said he will not compete in the primary he's worded his candidacy in a crowded field could help former president trump win the nomination. while republican governor is widely expected to run in the 2024 race, that's florida governor ron desantis, on sunday, he visited california where he spoke with the reagan presidential library, there he claimed florida has been an influx, seen an influx of residents casting florida's approach to leadership beering
11:09 pm
superior to left wing. >> we witnessed a great american exodus from states governored by leftist politicians imposing leftist ideology and delivering poor results and you've seen massive gains in states like florida who are governing according to the tried and true principles that president reagan held dear. >> he's a cnn senior political analyst and developer for the atlantic, joining me from los angeles. ron, great to have you with us. >> at the cpac gathering, donald trump president biden and many republicans vowing reply retributions among democrats and establishment republicans what became very clear at that gathering is that trump remains king, for now, at least, and that's reflected in polls showing him far ahead of the field, ron desantis has a chance
11:10 pm
of threatening trump's position perhaps but only if a two-man race. where do you see the republican nomination for the presidential race going from here >> well, you know, it's interestings as you point out. donald trump has reestablished a lead in polling there have been more polls showing desantis ahead including some key states like new hampshire the past few weeks but trump even though showed over the weekend both his strength and limitations the strength is that he has an iron grip on a portion of the party, particularly most conservative elements of the party and particularly voters without a college degree in the republican party. now, compared to 2016, the ceiling does look lower and his reach does look more narrow. in 2016 he pretty much pedal across the idealogical spectrum wasn't much different between the conservative voters and more moderate voters but as you saw at cpac the kind of message he's giving now is pretty much
11:11 pm
confining him to the most conservative voters in the party prominently, so there is room, there is room among a white collar, somewhat more moderate economically focused audience, specifically more pragmatic republican audience that worries about trump's ability to win the question in 2016 has always a unified part of the party's dubious trump as effectively as trump can unify the part of the party >> of course, a former vice president mike pence twice declined to support trump, if he becomes the gop nominee saying he things there would be better choices, he'll be hoping he'll be one. >> we're seeing widening divisions within the republican party, and that was made very clear at the cpac meeting where desantis, pence and others decided not attend leaving
11:12 pm
mostly strong trump supporters in attendance there, what does that reveal in terms of who is brave enough to take on trump, at this juncture at least and who chooses to hide and wait this out >> so far the answer is month one is brave enough to take him on directly. it's understandable that the candidate stayed on a from cpac itself, the institution has lost luster with the allegations special misconduct against its director, allegations guy another republican, and also, the effectively become a trump subsidiary, so it's not big deal they stayed away. no one yet in the republican field is willing to make a direct case against donald trump. i think anyone the last few weeks showed us is that despite everything that has happened, january 6, the threat of indictment, the losses in 2022, so many candidates said he and the were the pick for the gop,
11:13 pm
he is still the biggest figure in the party, if you're going to beat him you're going to have to give voters a clear and persuasive reasons why they should take you and not him, whether mike pompeo, nikki haley at cpac or others no one has been willing to do that. they've only run as far as pretty, you know, generational change, you know, someone sooner or later will have to make a stronger case against trump if they want to keep him from being the gop nominee again. >> what about president biden's apparent plan to run in 2024? if that happened, how would he likely go up against trump again or alternatively against desantis who is the governor defeats trump for the nomination >> 2022 showed one path for biden to win, which is that an unusually, almost an unprecedented large number of voters who said they were
11:14 pm
unhappy with his performance and or unhappy with the economy, voting for democrats anyway because they thought the republican alternative was too tied to trump, so there's that possibility bee not so much in a support of your record but in fear of what this morning republican party will mean your rights, values, and to democracy, itself. i think biden's issue of how he wins is that fear turns out the poor demographic face of young people, voters of college, and college educated white voters situated in our largest metro areas and biden himself focus on stable economic, blue collar blueprint to rebuild america, social and medicare cutting down price of drugs like insulin, he can pick up a few points on the
11:15 pm
other side culturally conservative blue collar older nonurban voters who would be attracted to a trump culture message but might believe biden argument he's looking out for them economically almost like a division of responsibility which may not be his forte but trying to cut into that economically strained culturally conservative constituency, that seems to be where biden is focusing efforts >> almost a pleasure to have you with us and to share in your analysis, appreciate it. >> thanks for having me bombshell reporting in the new york times about fox news and the panic that erupted at the network after joe biden won the 2020 presidential election, fox was the first to call arizona for biden with the state effectively clearing his path to white house victory. immediately after doing so, top
11:16 pm
network executives feared losing their audience to far right competitors. new york times reporter peter baker said they received an recording of an zoom call days after the election, he said fox ceos is saying this is one of the sad realities, if we hadn't called arizona those three or four days after election our ratings would have been bigger, mystery would have still been hanging out there. those comments from scott are not the only ones raising eyebrows, senior media reporter oliver spoke earlier about jim accosta about some of the revelation >> we saw a lot of detail about shawn hannity took a call, some people were reacting after the election in the wake when viewers were upset but you don't necessarily expect to see that
11:17 pm
perhaps from the people supposed to be leading the so-called news divisional at fox and in this report you see some, you know, evidence that these people were also concerned about the feelings of individuals trump voters watching the network. in one e-mail that new york times obtained from brett bear, who is the chief washington acre anchor of fox news, he wrote jay wallace the president at fox and he said about the arizona, it's hurting us the sooner we pull it and put it back in the column the better we are in my opinion. so you have brett bear talking about putting arizona in the trump column, of course, never was in the trump column because biden ultimately won that state, just because he said in another part of this report that it was hurting the viewers feelings, became really hurtful having to
11:18 pm
take this viewer feedback at the face of the network. >> perhaps not surprisingly in light of the fall-out. despite being the first to call arizona for biden, fox was the network to declare him winner of the election. >> snow is still falling in california where some cities could see more than three feet of fresh powder over the next 24 hours. it's creating bigger problems for residents trapped in their homes with few supplies for the freezing weather. derek haze sent cnn these videos of the hugh snow banks in southern california he said while he and his neighbors are used to preparing for the element, they can only do so much. >> we're still snowed in. we're having to snow shoe out of our road here to get groceries, to get supplies and to check on neighbors, there's a lot of, you know, elderly and disabled
11:19 pm
people in the area, we're doing what we can to check on them but we have limited resources >> a new video comes from california where the snow banks moved by snowplows are about ten feet wide and blocking driveways. the woman dropped his video said she's been trapped in her home ten days but thankfully not lost power. more than 10 million people are under winter weather alerts, the winter storm system expected to roach the great lakes area in the coming hours, with up to eight inches of snow possible in parts of michigan by tuesday. high winds also in the forecast of some cities. . and still to come, a situation very much like hell, we are hearing from ukrainian forces in the eastern city of bakhmut. where there's been to end for the fierce fighting. and oceans cover more than half the surface of the planet.

11:25 pm
bakhmut. you had the head of wagner private military company saying look, it's tightening the town was almost surrounded something the ukrainians obviously disputed. but the russians have taken out a key bridge they cut off one of the ukrainian's last remaining supply routes, you have the ukrainian reconnaissance unit being ordered to withdrawal from the town. and even ukrainian officials weren't ruling out the possibility but now, just a few days later, the situation looks much different. one commander on the ground you spoke to cnn said yes, the situation in bakhmut is quote like held in his words, but he says that the situation stabilized and tactically, the ukrainians continue to fight and hold the front line, he also says that a key highway connecting bakhmut to the next town to the west remains in ukrainian hands, that's important to getting supplies in and out. and in fact, he said that there's not only no withdrawal talks at this point, he said they are bringing in more

11:27 pm
fighting in dom boss, one of the hardest battles >> one of the advantages ukrainians had for months and months is that the town itself is heavily fortified not only by the ukrainian army but also naturally there's plenty of natural barriers that make it difficult for the russians to actually penetrate. but over the weekend, the former head of the british army said that look, while there may be true, bakhmut doesn't have all of that much strategic valley and makes complete sense in his view for ukrainians to withdraw to a more defensible line, so far no signs of that. >> many thanks for that live report, appreciate it. the fbi is asking the public for information after four u.s. citizens can were kidnapped in mexico. it happened friday. an fbi press release says the four americans had just entered
