12:02 am
start in the u.s. midwest with where the u.s.s transportation investigation board is sending to ohio 24 hours after another norfolk southern freight train derailed, the second derailment by that company in that state in a little over a had month after the toxic crash in east palestine, cnn polo sandoval has the latest >> the owner and operator 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 a 20 out of the 212 train cars left the tracks as the train was headed for northern ohio to birmingham alabama. shifted the focus on four tanker train cars, who were hauling what's being described as diesel
12:03 am
exhaust fluid the other two were hauling water soluble solutions often used to treat waste water. common industrial solutions as they describe them. the authorities saying train cars did not experience any sort of spillage. so the head of the epa in the state of ohio saying there was no chemical release into the air, water, soil. so now, a lot of focus will certainly be on a massive clean-up process underway in springfield and the investigation as they try to find out exactly what led to this derailment, to that, just a little over month after the toxic tragedy that took place in east palestine ohio, same rail company and the same state however, at this point in the investigation, certainly nothing to lead investigators to believe they could potentially be linked but a reminder these kinds of derailments are happening according to the federal railroad administration, roughly 1,000 derailments happening in the u.s. per year. polo, sandoval cnn new york.
12:04 am
in georgia more than 30 people detained after chaos erupted at the public safety training center also known as cop city. police say a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and large rocks, molotov cocktails and fireworks at authorities, none them were injured in the incident. the police chief said those detained will face appropriate charges, cnn isabella has details. >> reporter: all of this comes off of the week of action, which started just yesterday, by organizers here really activists call themselves defenders, the events designed to draw attention to the stop cop city movement. protests rally invited tourists
12:05 am
a portion of the nearby were activists had been camping out for over a year in protest of this project they had dubbed cop city. in 2021, city council they authorized the plan to build a giant state-of-the-art training center, 90 million dollars for the city's police and fire departments, 85 acre complex that would be one of the largest in the u.s. with classrooms shooting range, activists call this an urban war fair training center. >> u.s. president joe biden called for stronger voter protections at an event marked the 58th anniversary of the bloody sunday march in selma, alabama, on that day, in 1965, state troopers attacked hundreds of civil rights marchers attempting to cross the edmund pettis bridge, dozens injured, 17 people had to be hospitalized including the late congressman john lewis.
12:06 am
in his remark, president biden called for passage of a sweeping voting rights measure named after lewis arguing it's the right to vote that makes democracy possible. >> selma is reckoning, a right to vote, a 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 conservative supreme court has gutted the voting rights act over the years. >> mr. biden also took part in the annual walk across the bridge on sunday, former president donald trump has a long history of inaccurate statements and falsehoods and said more of the same at the conservative political action conference in maryland last
12:07 am
week, his lengthy address was filled with wildly inaccurate claims on a range of topics, foreign affairs, crimes, election, joe biden's presidency and his own >> with the greatest history of any president ever, >> cnn reporter daniel fat checked his cpac speech. >> this claim is not even close to true, the economy lost about 2.7 million jobs over trump's tenure, that's the worst, not the greatest jobs record for any modern day president. you can say well, there was a covid 19 pandemic, that hurt jobs but if you look at the first three years, he still wasn't the greatest, there were about 6.5 million jobs created not even close to the actual record, she was 11.5 under bill clinton in the early 1990s, now
12:08 am
what he made about the in order stream from russia to germany, i got along very well with putin, remember, trump is giving a lot to russia. really? putin said to me if you're my friend i'd hate like held to see you as my enemy. because i ended the pipeline. do you remember? north stream i ended it. it was dead. >> president trump did not kill the pipeline, he imposed sanctions on companies constructing the pipeline but that didn't come until late 2019 nearly three years into his presidency with the pipeline about 90% completed. the sanctions did appear to slow down the project. but also during trump's presidency about a 84 later russian state owned company behind the pipeline said we'll build it ourselves and they would resume construction, germany few days left in trump presidency renewed the permits for construction in its waters the pipeline was eventually completed before germany abandoned it in 2022 just before
12:09 am
the russian invasion of ukraine. >> trump also made a claim about his wall on the mexico can border. >> as you know i built hundreds of miles of wall and completed that task as promised. and then i began to add even more in areas that seemed to be allowing a lot of people to come in. >> i think it's obvious in the president's words that the claim he completed a wall is not true. he's saying he completed it and was doing more building does not make sense we have the numbers to confirm and that it was not done an official document from u.s. customs and border protection called a border wall status report published two days after trump left office said 458 miles of wall had been completed under trump, but about 280 additional miles that had been identified for wall construction had not been completed. finally leave with something trump said about minnesota during the 2020 protest following the murder of george floyd by the minneapolis police
12:10 am
>> he saved minneapolis, thing is we're not supposed to do that because it's up to the democratic governor, almost like they don't mind to have cities and states destroyed, something wrong with these people. >> trump has been saying this since mid 2020 and it's a reversal of reality he said the government of minnesota wouldn't do anything about the civil unrest. in fact it was that governor who activated the minnesota national guard to deal with the unresist and his office told cnn in 2020 he did so in response to requests from democratic mayors of minneapolis and st. paul. now, trump did demand that wall activate but in reality he had already done so seven hours before the then president made the demand in public. cnn washington. >> button prominent republican announced he won't run for president next year. former maryland governor larry
12:11 am
hogan said sunday he will not continue in the republican primaries he's worried his class and a crowded field could help former president trump win the nomination. but one can't republican governor is widely expected to run in the 2024 race, that is florida governor ron desantis. on sunday, he visited california where he spoke at the reagan presidential library, there, he claimed florida has seen an influx of residents from democratic strong holds casting florida's approach to governance under his leadership as superior to left wing states. >> we witnessed a great american exodus from states governed 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
12:12 am
held dear. >> ron brownstein is a cnn senior political analyst and editor for the atlantic. joins me now from los angeles, great to have you with us, at the cpac gathering donald trump attacks president biden and many vowing retribution, and establishment republicans and what became clear at that gathering is that trump remains king for now at least, and that is reflected in polls showing had my far ahead in the field although ron desantis has a chance of threatening trump's position but only if it becomes a two-man race. where do you see the republican nomination for the presidential race going from here? >> you know, it's interesting because 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 last few
12:13 am
weeks. but trump showed over the weekend i think both his strength and limitations, the strength is that he has an iron grip on a portion of the party, particularly the most conserve elements of the party, and particularly voters without a college degree in the republican party. now, compared to 2016 though, the feeling does look lower and his reach more narrow. in 2016 he pretty much pedal across the ideal logical spectrum, wasn't much difference in the conservative and moderate and as you saw at cpac, the kind of message he's giving now is pretty much confining him to the most conservative voters in the party prominently, so there is room among a white collar somewhat more moderate economically focused audience or pragmatic that worries about trump's ability to win the question in 2016 has always been
12:14 am
an part of the party trump as effectively as trump unify the part of the party attracted him. >> and former vice president mike pence twice declined to support trump if he becomes the gop nominee saying he thinks there will be better choices hoping he'll be one of them, of course, we're seeing these widening divisions within the republican party, and was it made very clear at the cpac meeting where desantis, pence and others decided not to attend leaving 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 chooses to hide and perhaps wipe this out. >> so far the answer is no one is brave enough really to take him on directly. it's understandable that the candidates stayed away from cpac itself the institution lost
12:15 am
luster with the allegations of sexual misconduct against -- allegations by another republican, and also the effectively become a trump subsidiary, so it wasn't that big a deal they stayed away. the bigger deal is that they -- no one yet in the republican field is willing to make a direct case against donald trump. i think what if anything in last few weeks showed us, despite everything that happened, january 6, the threat of indictment, the losses in 2022, so many candidates said he hand picked for the gop, he still has the biggest piece of the party, he is still the biggest figure in the party. what that means is that if you're going to beat him, you'll have to give voters a very clear and persuasive reason why they should pick you or him, whether mike pompeo or nikki haley at cpac or others no one has been willing to do that. only run as far as pretty veil
12:16 am
you know, generational change, 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 joe biden's apparent plans to run in 2024? if that happens, how would he likely go up against trump again or alternatively against desantis if the governor defeats trump for the nomination? >> well, look, 2022 showed one path for biden to win, which is that an unusual, almost an unprecedented large number of voters who said they were unhappy with his performance and or unhappy with the economy, voted for democrats anyway because they thought the republican alternative was too extreme and too tied to trump. so there's that possibility of being able to mobilize a winning coalition not so much in a affirmative support of your record but in fear of what this
12:17 am
modern republican party will mean to your rights, values and democracy itself. i think biden's vision of how he wins is that that fear turns out the core democratic face of young people voters of color and college educated white voters all of them primarily situated in our largest metro areas and in biden himself, through his focus on economics, blue collar blueprints, social security, medicare, cutting down drugs like inside lynn, he can pick up a few points on the other side, culturally conservative blue collar who would be attracted to a trumpian cultural record but might believe biden's argument he's looking out for them almost like a vision of responsibility for mobilizing the democratic case which is not his forte but trying to cut into the
12:18 am
economically strained culturally conservative constituency that moved to sharply to the gop in the trump era where biden seems to be focusing efforts >> always a pleasure to have you with us and share in your analysis, appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. more than 10 million people are under winter weather alerts from the west coast. the winter storm is expected to reach great lakes in the coming hours, we've up to eight inches of snow possible in parts of michigan by tuesday, high winds are also in the forecast for some cities. meantime snow is still falling in california, where some cities could see more than three feet of fresh powder over the next 24 hours. all of that snow is creating problems for residents trapped in their homes with few supplies for the freezing weather. and still to come e the situati vevery much like hell, we are hearing from ukrainian forces in the eaststern city of bakhmumut
12:23 am
>> we're following developments in ukraine where russia says defensive minister sir gay visited the city of mariupol in the donetsk region captured last year, defense ministry said he was inspecting the progress of work by the military to restore infrastructure in the donetsk region. it's not known when the took place, meantime ukraine forces are still holding on to key highway in bakhmut, control of the city on eastern front lines, officials are dismissing speculation of a possible withdrawal but one described a difficult situation inside bakhmut where russia's assault continues to cause destruction and losses for ukraine. evacuation efforts have also slowed officials say at least five to ten residents are leaving daily. cnn scott mclean is following developments. he joins us live from london,
12:24 am
good morning to you again, scott. so what is the fierce fight in bakhmut >> it's extremely difficult to get reliable information at what exactly is happening in bakhmut but seems like things the last few days shifted last week, you'll remember that it appeared that the ukrainians may in fact be forced to withdrawal from the town, you had the russians taking out a key bridge, which cut off one of the ukrainian's last remaining supply routes in and out. you had ukrainian drone reconsans unit ordered to withdraw fillers themselves weren't ruling out the possibility and you had the head of wagner military company saying it's tightening and that the town is nearly surrounded something that ukrainians disputed but now it appears that the situation looks different. the ukrainians say that alex murdaugh, things are difficult a commander on the ground said things are like held in his word but also said things stabilized. not only are they not
12:25 am
withdrawing from the town but bringing in more troops to the front lines to stabilize things, he also said that the ukrainians still maintain control of the very key highway that conducts bakhmut to the next town at the west. which is obviously key to getting supplies in and out. and while ukrainians acknowledge that look, the russians have had some success in the outskirts of the town to the north and northwest, he said that the river that bisects the town has not been crossed and the ukrainians still remain very much in control of the town center at least for the time being the ukrainians continue to fight there. but bakhmut despite the fact that it is heavily fortified both by ukrainian defenses and naturally the former head of the british army said they're not all of that much strategic value for the ukrainians to be fighting for and having heavy losses over. he believes that the ukrainians will be well served to be moved
12:26 am
back to much more defensible. at this point there doesn't look like plans to do that. >> scott mclean joining us live from london >> russian propaganda and social media given us a glimpse into russia's practice of taking ukrainian children and forcing them to be adopted and raised by russian parents. a practice considered a war crime. lisa bell has the story of the ukrainian girl who went from occupied mariupol to a cold war rally in moscow. >> vladimir putin celebratings had army. the special guest this year children bussed in from ukraine's occupied territory. >> me my sister and hundreds of thousands of children in mariupol.

12:29 am
convention regarding children how children must be treated. the law is present. too many think it's an option extra. ycnn reached out to russian officials for met on the children's featured in putin's rally and moscow has not responded but for the tragedy of anya's short life the propaganda has brought her fresh troubles, gaining violent threats under her adolescent posts, don't be shy you'll be hanging from the post downtown one of the threats made but a reflection of so much more of the abuse young anya referred. >> we went to stay human she's a child survived the war, lost a mother. she's small and looks like an adult, she's a child.

but children as symbols of the future play an important part in the loyalists to moscow like this one. two visions of childhood, one care-free, the other twisted. cnn kiev. >> the fbi is asking the public for information after four u.s. citizens were kidnapped in mexico. it happened on friday in the town of madam aris, the fbi press release said the four americans had just entered the town while driving a white minivan with north carolina plates when unidentified gunmen fired at the passengers. armed men then took them away in another vehicle, the u.s. consulate general previously listed the state as a level 4 do not travel area. > still to come one month after the deadadly earthquake i turkey and syria, a look back at the damage and how survivors are
