river below, where it floated downstream. thankfully, no one was hurt because no one was inside at the time. but authorities evacuated some homes nearby just in case. a number of roads also shut down due to landslides. all right. right now, police are searching for a suspect in connection with last night's deadly shooting at an ohio warehouse. one person killed, five others injured. it happened at a cosmetics facility in new albany. police recovered a firearm from that scene. authorities say the shooting appears to have been targeted. no reason to believe there will be any further threat. two of japan's biggest automakers are still holding various discussions, despite reports their merger was scrapped. that is according to nissan. nissan and honda announced a possible merger in december as they try to compete with surging chinese automakers. nissan says they plan to make an official announcement by mid-february. we're basically almost there. all right. a new hour of cnn

news central starts right now. >> there's probably a couple of kinks in that slinky. what one republican senator is saying about president trump's new plan to take control of gaza. we're getting fresh reaction as the reality sets in. we've got new reporting this morning on pushback against elon musk from within the trump administration. and then breaking this morning, where is your latest order from? temu your socks caught in a trade war with new developments in the odyssey in just the last few minutes. i'm john berman with sara sidner and kate bolduan. this is cnn news central. >> and happening now, we are following the reaction both in the united states and overseas, to the new proposal from president donald trump laying out what is now his proposed

plan for gaza that the united states should own it and relocate the nearly 2 million palestinians who live there. the president even open to sending in u.s. troops to implement his plan. >> the only reason the palestinians want to go back to gaza is they have no alternative. they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. the u.s. will take over the gaza strip, and we will do a job with it, too. we'll own it. >> and a live look behind me at the white house and at gaza right now, a place that president trump said all palestinians should leave so he can redevelop it and eventually turn it into the way he described it was the riviera of the middle east. some of his biggest republican supporters on the hill asked about this, republican senators skeptical at best. thom tillis likely with the quote of the night, which was there are probably a couple kinks in that slinky. have you ever tried to get the kinks out of a slinky? that's my point.

democratic senators like senator chris van hollen, who is just on our show called what the president wants to do ethnic cleansing. we are standing by for more reaction and maybe more clarity from the white house on steps forward. let's first get to the white house. cnn's alayna treene is standing by for us. and what are you hearing this morning, elena well, look, kate, i mean, these comments from president donald trump are very remarkable. i'm told. according to my conversations with those at the white house, that he is very serious about this. but i would remind you as well, exactly what he is saying when he says that, you know, he wouldn't rule out having u.s. troops go to gaza to have the united states help take over it. he said, we'll own it. i mean, that is suggesting putting american troops on the ground in the middle east. of course, as we are trying to find the america and the people working on behalf of donald trump, along with israel and those in hamas and other countries in the region, are trying to find an off ramp out of this war. now, one thing as well, that i think

i want to stress is just, you know, donald trump was really building toward this moment all day yesterday, even before prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived at the white house for his meeting with the president. we also know that trump has said much of this before, at least on the part about wanting to revive gaza, that it's a beautiful piece of land, that it could be prime real estate in the right hands. but his comments yesterday really went further than we've heard him say before, especially when you put into consideration that he was standing up on stage alongside the prime minister of israel. now, i do also want to turn your attention to the question and our own kaitlan collins asked this over whether or what would happen, i should say, to the nearly 2 million of people living in gaza, if they were to be displaced, where would they go? we know that the president has said that he believes egypt and jordan, neighboring countries, should accept them and take them in. but of course, we also know that the leaders of those countries have argued that

that is a nonstarter, that that is off the table. the trump, however, tried to argue that he believes it's still possible. take a listen. >> it'll be wonderful for the people palestinians, palestinians, mostly. we're talking about. and i have a feeling that despite them saying no, i have a feeling that the king in jordan and that the general president, but that the general in egypt will open their hearts and will give us the kind of land that we need to get this done. and people can live in harmony and in peace. >> now, kate, of course, a key question is whether or not the white house is actually going to try and take steps to do this. the president was very light on details about how this could even be possible, but i'd note as well with that comment there about egypt and jordan. we do know that the king of jordan is expected to come to the white house next week. this will certainly be at the forefront of that conversation, kate. absolutely. elena, thank you so

much for your reporting. sara. >> all right. thank you so much. democrats, of course, have something to say on this. they are slamming the president's proposal earlier this morning. maryland senator chris van hollen told our john berman this is pouring gasoline on a burning fire. >> this is an insane proposal. and there's been a huge backlash already because the president of the united states was saying that he would use u.s. military force, if necessary, to forcibly remove 2 million palestinians from gaza. that's ethnic cleansing by another name. >> and there are several republicans not jumping in on this bandwagon. north carolina senator thom tillis also saying, obviously, it's not going to happen. i don't know under what circumstances it would make sense, even even for israel. cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill. i'm most curious about how republicans and more republicans are responding to

this, as they have generally followed trump's lead, saying they don't want to be involved in foreign wars. and trump is talking about sending troops in to remove forcibly remove palestinians from their homeland. lauren, what are you hearing on the hill this morning? >> yeah, i mean, there was a late. vote last night. >> on capitol. >> hill in the united states. >> senate. >> and it was. >> clear that a lot of republicans. >> were trying to. >> dodge reporter questions around this, saying that they had not seen these comments, saying that they needed needed to take a closer look at them. but one thing that is exceedingly clear is the fact that no one on capitol hill is really endorsing or getting their arms around this idea. most people are making clear when they are commenting that they have deep concerns and reservations with moving forward, with something like injecting u.s. troops into what is already a war torn area in gaza. and one thing that's really interesting is the number of democrats who are on the senate foreign relations

committee, who swiftly rejected this idea. here's senator chris, who is a key member of that committee. here's what he said. >> you can report. >> that. >> i was speechless. >> i'm speechless. that's insane. >> i can't think of a place. on earth that would welcome american troops less. and where any positive outcome is less likely. >> we also heard from senator lindsey graham, a republican from south carolina, who said, we'll see what our arab friends say about that. i think most south carolinians would probably not be excited about sending americans to take over gaza. i think that might be problematic, but i will keep an open mind. senator richard blumenthal, a democrat from connecticut, called the idea crazy. he said, you can quote me that it would blow apart the abraham accords and that all the progress we have made, including the brave and costly battles that israel has waged, would be effectively undercut by this crazy notion. i

think you're going to see a lot more reaction today on capitol hill, as so many republicans will have a chance to review these comments. and obviously, reporters on the hill are going to be pushing them for comment. sarah. >> yeah, and it wasn't lost on anyone that while everyone is calling this crazy, we did see netanyahu seemingly agreeing in some way. so we will see. lauren fox, thank you so much. appreciate it john. >> all right. with us now, democratic strategist matt bennett d litical rategist jesse otto. i want to put up one more quote, following up on what lauren was just talking about there. this from republican senator josh hawley from missouri, who said, i don't know that i think it's the best use of u.s. resources to spend a bunch of money in gaza. i think that maybe i prefer that to be spent in the united states first. so, madison, what happened to america first from donald trump? is that out the window? >> well, i think. >> this could. >> be opening up conversations moving forward. >> and i think.

>> president trump. >> last night. >> what he was doing was putting the middle east on notice, putting the world on notice that the status quo will not stand similar to what we're seeing going on here in the united states with doge. and other. things happening with. >> our government. >> he's saying we cannot continue to see this go on the way that it has in the middle east for decades. the palestinian people deserve better. the middle east deserves better. and so maybe we see talks about saudi coming in and potentially developing here, making it a habitable place for palestinians and others to live in the future. we'll see what happens. obviously, steve witkoff visiting gaza last week, seeing that it's completely uninhabitable. the people that are there that are remaining are living in squalor, that there's unexploded ordnances that could kill children. people can't live like this, and it's gotten worse than ever. >> matt, just a conversation starter. i mean, donald trump didn't talk about the saudis going in. he talked about u.s. ownership, a long term ownership position. there. >> yeah, i. >> mean, he was serious about this. it's a thing that his son in law, jared kushner, has speculated about, you know,

making fancy properties in gaza to sell to people who are not palestinian, to be clear. and, you know, it's just another case of trump talking off the cuff, which is fine when you're a real estate developer and not at all fine when you're the president of the united states. just yesterday. >> they. >> announced that the cia, every person at the cia, got a notice asking if they want to resign. you know, it might be a good idea for the president to listen to the intelligence community, because if he did, he would know that the idea that he floated yesterday was bananas. as we heard from republican senators and is going to do damage to our efforts to try to bring stability back to the region. >> so, matt, along these lines and also some of the things that are happening domestically, there's the question of how do democrats react? and senator chris murphy from connecticut has been more outspoken than most democrats. and just a few minutes ago, he was talking, and i think i wrote down the quote correctly here. democrats need to act like our democracy is weeks away from disintegrating

because it is, says chris murphy. so a do you agree with him? and b, what does it look like for democrats if they're going to behave like democracy is disintegrating? >> well, i certainly agree that what trump is doing on many fronts is incredibly destructive. he is breaking things that are going to be impossible or very, very hard to put back together, things that we need to protect americans. and he's doing things that are putting americans at risk. i mean, he has given the keys to elon musk and a bunch of, like, 24 year olds to the treasury payment system, to everyone's medicare and medicaid records. people are very concerned about their privacy. they're concerned about the ability of the government to continue to function. so i don't know if our democracy is at risk in the next couple of weeks, but it is clear that the function of american government is at risk because he is allowing this unelected multi-billionaire to

just run roughshod over all of american government. it's very scary what he's doing with the fbi and the cia is scary. we do need to pay attention. but boy, there's a lot of things happening all at once. >> you know, madison, for years i've heard republicans talk about unelected bureaucrats running government. but what about unelected billionaires? running government? >> listen, john drum is at an all time high with democrats right now. but the reality is, this is the one chance that we have as americans to take our government back from these unelected bureaucrats. i think what elon musk and his team are doing is absolutely incredible. i mean, they're saving us $1 billion a day. they want to increase to $3 billion a day. when you look at the rampant waste, fraud and abuse that has got us to well over $34 trillion in national debt, you know, many people are sounding the alarm ten years ago, myself included, saying that we can't continue down this road. republicans and democrats both have gotten us here. we can't continue to grow government and to spend money that we don't have. we don't as americans get to do that in our companies, in our lives, and we

shouldn't allow the government to continue to do that. and so what they're doing, i think is great. they're saving us money. they're putting money back into the pockets of the american people, and hopefully we can get that national debt and those deficits down where they need to be. >> matt, how do democrats have this discussion, this what apparently is now an unelected bureaucrat versus unelected billionaire discussion. >> look, there's no question that there's some fat to cut in federal agencies. but this is the exact wrong way to do it. we need change, but we need some other kind of change. not this kind of hatchet and and sledgehammer approach that trump and musk are taking. if the trump administration had come in and said, we're going to review all the things that government is doing, and then we're going to take a scalpel and we're going to cut away the things that we think are are bad. that would be much harder for democrats to resist. but what he is doing instead is taking, you know, a sledgehammer and a bulldozer to government. and that is going to hurt people in real ways. now, just one last

example. the day after the horrible air tragedy in washington, dc, the very next day, every single air traffic controller in america got an email asking them if they would like to resign and do something more productive, implying that they are lazy and useless. that is not the way to reform government. >> matt bennett and jesse otto, thank you both for being with us this morning. kate. >> thank you. coming up for us, president trump said the blanket 10% tariffs imposed against china are just the opening salvo. now economists are bracing for even more tariffs to come. the president's top trade and manufacturing adviser joins us. and new radar data is providing critical clues into what went so wrong to lead to that military helicopter and passenger jet colliding mid-air, ending in pure tragedy. and the northeast. it has not seen a ton of snow yet this winter. could that be changing? we have the forecast. >> and the boeing 747 has

crashed in the lockerbie area. >> trying to find out the why of it became everything. >> nothing is what it seems in the lockerbie story. >> lockerbie, the bombing of pan am flight 103, february 16th on cnn. >> easy. find a pet friendly italian restaurant with outdoor seating nearby and text it to luca. find it real quick. send it to the good. >> preorder now. >> at. >> samsung.com. >> zip dish for mary. >> thank you. zip dash didn't zip dash just have an earnings call? i wonder if their take rate finally improved. did management provide an outlook for future performance? >> um.

investigators. it came out of the control tower. >> here at the. >> airport indicating that that helicopter was, in fact, flying at an altitude of close to 300ft, well above the 200 foot limit for helicopters along that route on the potomac. it does not tell us why the helicopter was flying at that altitude. it does not tell us if they were wearing night vision goggles. the pilots on board that helicopter, and it could have impacted visibility. it does not tell us why they told the control tower. they could see that american airlines flight, but seemed to take. no evasive action. sarah, that is information that may come out of the black box that you mentioned that was on board the helicopter, and that investigators have now recovered. there are voice recordings, flight data most likely, that will come from that black box. but the problem is investigators say they still have to confirm some of the information and it will require actually getting access to the black hawk helicopter itself. but that helicopter is still in

the potomac river, and crews are most likely not going to be able to pull it out until thursday or friday. and so we may have to wait a little while for some of that information. in terms of the salvage operation itself, sarah, we know that crews have now recovered all 67 of the victims in this crash and have positively identified 66 of them. they are still waiting on confirmation for one, but that is a significant step for the families who are grieving, who are planning funerals right now, sarah. and we also know they have recovered most of the wreckage, parts of the plane, the wings, the tail, the cockpit, parts of the fuselage. and today they are going to be bringing all of it to a hangar here at the airport where investigators are going to start sifting through it. sarah. >> part of the gruesome process. gabe cohen, thank you so much. appreciate your reporting this morning, john. >> all right. new this morning how elon musk has crowned himself the techno king of the federal government. new details about what he plans to do next. and waiting for a package from

suspended. also overnight, china's minister of foreign affairs calling out the united states over president trump's new moves on trade and the tariffs just ordered. listen. >> to we urge the u.s. >> side to stop politicizing economic and trade issues, or using it as a tool. it must cease its unreasonable suppression of chinese companies. china will continue to take necessary measures. >> to firmly defend the legitimate rights of chinese companies. >> joining us right now from the white house is the senior trade and manufacturing adviser to president trump, peter navarro. peter, thank you for coming in. when are first and foremost the president and xi jinping going to speak? will it be today? >> i don't know, and that will be up to the president. >> the head of i want to get in. i want to focus on china with the 10% tariff that has been levied against chinese goods

coming in. the head of the leading footwear trade association in the country was on with me this week and said that these tariffs are going to cost consumers. and here's how he explained it. let me play it. >> we brought in about $10. >> billion in value for footwear. >> from china last year. 10%. i'm not a mathematician, but 10% is about $1 billion in additional costs at the border. paid by american companies. and so that $1 billion has to go somewhere. it's got to be absorbed somewhere for companies to be competitive, to continue to have profitability. >> and they say that is going to be a cost to consumers. peter, how do you explain to someone who's struggling already with inflation, which you talked so much about, why it's worth it to now pay more for their shoes? >> so, so that guy, i'm sure. >> when we had. >> the historic. trade tariffs during the first time said. >> the exact same thing and we didn't have that inflationary effect, because. >> the first. >> thing that really happens,

kate, is that. >> china will absorb most or all of the tariff. that was our experience in the first term. that will. >> be our experience here. >> but what's interesting about lobbyists like. >> that. >> they never ask the question why we're doing. >> this, 75,000. >> americans die every. >> single year. that's about. >> as many people are going to be in the superdome on sunday because of the fentanyl precursors that come from china, that go into mexican drug cartel labs both in mexico and canada, come across their border and kill americans. so that's what we're trying to do with president trump on this. it's a drug war. everybody wants to make it a trade war. but this is a drug war. and we're just trying to stop the carnage. so i think it's important to put put this in perspective. >> with that perspective. i will say i am hearing from some of these american companies who

say, they say it is they've sent me their duty invoices from cbp to show that they say china is not paying for this. it is american companies who pay the tariffs to the united states government. if the u.s. government is taxing american companies more across the board, how will that not lead to higher prices for their customers? >> it's misdirection. it's a shell game. what they're describing to you. >> the reality. >> is when the negotiations are made with china to export things here, what happens when the tariffs go in place is that the chinese companies are forced to lower their prices. the thing about. >> trade. >> the thing that we have to understand is that america is the largest market by far in the world, and that many of the countries which we run trade deficits with are heavily export dependent. so we can't when we put the tariffs on, they can't just go somewhere else. they have to still come here. and so

we get the price cuts from them. the bigger issue though, kate, we always got to go back to why why are we doing these things. and this is a fentanyl problem. it's a drug war. it's if you go to canada we also have terrorists coming in on the on the terrorist watch list that are coming into this country. and then, of course, the broader border invasion that we've had over the last four years of an unprecedented amount of people like 3 million illegal immigrants a year, 3 million people, that's the population in the state of connecticut or utah. i mean, it's these are big numbers. so the president was elected on a promise of stopping the death of americans from fentanyl and closing the border. and that's what this is about. it's a drug war, not a trade war. >> the why matters. and the cause and effect matter to just so american people know what's

coming at them. the president also was elected on, as he had said over and over again, inflation will vanish completely, meaning prices will be coming down, he said immediately when he comes in, in terms of the cause and effect, can you assure that tariffs imposed now are not going to push up prices for american consumers? >> here is important to put the economic policy in its broader context. yes, we have the trade policies going on, but if we can move from $75 a barrel oil that we've had during the biden years back to $50, where we had it during the trump years, that alone is a tremendous deflationary effect. if we can do what we did in the first term, which is to substantially reduce regulatory costs on small businesses and reduce the size of government, that will also be deflationary. what i can assure

the american public is that we will have price stability like we had in the first term. you have to remember here, kate, back in and cnn did a lot of reporting on this. it's like back during the first term when we put the historic china tariffs in the steel and aluminum tariffs and solar tariffs, dishwasher tariffs, all of this special interest came out and the media would amplify that, saying there's going to be inflation and recession. all we had was price stability and robust growth and rising real wages. so let's see what happens. that's what the boss loves to say. but we have experience now on our side. we didn't have that back in 2018. but now we do. we succeeded back in the first term. we'll succeed again for the american people. and by the way, the american people want their loved ones to stop dying from fentanyl. i don't think there's a single person in america right now that doesn't know someone who knows someone who knows someone that

died from fentanyl. the six degrees of separation. now. >> i can agree, i can i can definitely hear you on that. i've done a lot of reporting on how there's really not an american who's not impacted by the fentanyl crisis in the here and now, though, on this one thing people know about you, peter, is you are not quiet to call out bs when you hear it or see it or feel it. so when i'm asking you if you can assure americans that they're not going to see their prices go up, i am struck by you're saying, let's see. >> well, all i can tell you is we have experience on our side. we have the analytics. let me walk you through the analytics of what happens when a tariff goes into effect. the first impact, and we have experience on this is that the exporting country absorbs much of the initial impact. the next thing that happens is supply chains move which help moderate any

type of inflationary impact. and the next thing that happens is that investment comes here and we produce things here, which helps. and over time, i mean, president trump has said this early and often, if people don't want to pay the tariffs out there, then they should come here. remember the broader perspective and context here. of course, kate, is this country has the lowest tariffs in the world, the lowest non-tariff barriers and $1 trillion trillion dollar trade deficit every year. what $1 trillion. >> i'm just saying, if. >> trade is. going to go up. >> does ship to balance that. our factories just tell americans., say that again. i'm just saying if if it is what you're saying, if you're balancing out the trade deficit, the deficit here and you're kind of leveling the playing field, if that means even for a time that prices are going to go up, shouldn't you level with americans about it? >> but see, i'm leveling with americans. i'm giving them the adjustment process. but what you just said is really important.

when our trade deficit comes down, the dollar strengthens. when the dollar strengthens, imports are cheaper. so all of these macro adjustments are on our side. what i'm saying to you is we didn't have inflation the first time. i'm describing to you all the reasons why we didn't have inflation in the first time. and i'm saying we are unlikely to have inflation the next time, particularly because we're doing all these other things for bringing down the price level. i mean, at the end of the day, we had price stability and high tariffs. biden had. unprecedented inflation since the 1970s because of how he mismanaged. so i'm very comfortable with with how we are moving forward on trade policy because we have experience on our side. and again, what we're trying to do is save jobs, factories and lives. that's trump trade

policy. >> well, let's end with trump's own words. let us see. it's good to see you, peter. thank you very much for coming in. >> all right. nice to see you, kate. thanks for the interview. >> john. >> take care. >> a new poll reveals what americans say is the highest issue on their list. for government leaders to address in health care. >> have i got news for you is back for a new season. whether you like it or not. >> the only. >> two choices? >> yes, you like. >> it or you don't? >> i'm on the fence. >> this is going to be a long season. >> have i got news for you returns february 15th on cnn. >> empowered. >> hey. >> i got. >> her. a little something. >> a little. >> something, dad. >> oh, a. hi, walt rolled his 401 k accounts into an ira, and it's grown nicely. so i say, what a grams? be a gramps. >> okay. >> just promise. >> me it doesn't make a. >> lot of noise. >> go, baby.

>> president trump's so-called special government employee elon musk, along with his doge agency, promised to completely upend the united states government. and it seems to be happening. here's what has happened since arrival in the nation's capital just two weeks ago. under his direction as a special government employee, musk and his team have gained access to the treasury payment system, threatened to shut down usaid offered federal employees a so-called buyout and removed civil servants at the office of personnel management. now people are suing musk and doge over these unprecedented actions. joining me now is one of those folks suing the executive director of the nonprofit national security counselors, kel mcclanahan, thank you so much for joining us. your organization, as we mentioned, filing lawsuits, there are two so far against doge. what are you alleging that doge is doing? >> well. there there are two. >> lawsuits. >> but only. >> one is directly against doge. and that is a lawsuit that we.

>> filed on inauguration. day saying that it. >> was set up as an illegal advisory committee. >> and not. >> acting according. >> to the rules. >> set forth in the federal advisory. >> committee. >> act. >> saying that they. >> have to be balanced, they have to be. >> transparent. >> they have to be accountable. >> all those things that people generally like to have when people are being given access to the secrets of the government. the second is a case against the office of personnel management for setting up that server in the chief's office, presumably at the behest of doge, to email all the federal employees. with all of these emails about the deferred resignation program and tests and everything else that circumvented all the security protocols, set off all sorts of phishing alarms, and basically put all the data of millions of people at risk. >> yeah, many, many, many americans information, personal information, private information is held there. let me ask you

about this designation and what it all means. he's been designated elon musk, the special government employee, and basically means he's exempt from some of the of the rules, including financial disclosures and conflicts of interest, of which he may have many because there are issues with his companies versus the government regulations. what does this mean? i mean, does this change anything? >> as far as the lawsuit goes? it does not, because the white house has been very, very careful in what they say about doge and what they say about musk in order to be completely exempt from the lawsuit and make the lawsuit arguably go away, they would have to say that the united states doge service, the thing that they set up by executive order on day one, is the same as all the people

running around calling themselves doge before the inauguration, and they have not done that. they would also have to say not only that, elon musk is a special government employee, but that he is the united states doge administrator who is the head of the u.s. doge service. they have not said that. in fact, cnn reported yesterday that they have been asked, is he the u.s. doge administrator? and the white house won't respond. so as far as we can tell, it has no effect because he's still running around calling himself doge when nobody will say that he's affiliated with the only office that could legally operate. >> is that because he would then have to operate under certain rules? he can skirt those now if they sort of keep this kind of very muddy well, some of the rules, yes, but other rules apply regardless. >> for instance, even if he works for the white house as the u.s. doge administrator, the

privacy act says that he can't be given access to all of the opm records. there are things called routine uses that are set forward in the privacy act that, say, data can only be given to certain people for certain things, and the white house is very rarely one of those things. but if he's an outsider, they definitely can't give it to him. and he definitely can't have access to this information. >> i'm just curious, you know, from an overall standpoint, both as a citizen whose information the government certainly has and as an attorney who is looking at all that is happening, how concerned are you about the fact that elon musk and doge, whoever that is, however many people that is have access to so much of american's private information and the levers of government that pay out these important checks to people that that sustain, literally sustain life there are rules for

accessing every piece of information in the government, and the reason for that is, as you say, the government has tons and tons and tons of information about you, me, elon, everybody. >> and they have to in order to make the society function. you don't want government overreach. you don't want government to be able to do whatever they want with the information they have on you. that's why these rules are in place. people should be freaking out at the idea that someone who has a profit motive to do most of what he does is being given access to whether or not you get paid, or you get your check, or your hospital gets a check, or your information about the background investigation that you had ten years ago when you were in the rush to get a check. this is a big five alarm fire. >> kel mcclanahan, thank you so much for joining us and sort of walking us through a lot of

complications that are involved here. when it comes to doge, elon musk and sort of the power of that agency, if you will. thank you so much. appreciate it. john. >> all right. just in brand new reaction from displaced palestinians inside gaza to president trump's plan to kick them out and take it over. why they say they will not go easily. and thousands now under winter storm warnings this morning, freezing rain about to cause huge headaches and dangerous conditions. >> the source with caitlin. >> collins tonight. >> at nine. >> one second. >> you feel. >> safe. and then. >> the police are on their way. >> well, you. >> still do. sonia earlene and marsha are among the thousands

dangerous ice storm headed to the northeast. a number of cities already under winter weather advisories. let's get right to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. i will almost certainly be late to work tomorrow based on what we're seeing here. allison. >> i was going to say mother nature is clearly making it aware. all of us aware that it is still winter time out there because we have not only the snow component, but also some ice. and that's what's really going to be hazardous for some of these locations, especially from chicago, all the way back over to portions of pennsylvania. you've got all of those alerts out. not just winter weather advisories, but also some ice storm warnings in there indicating how much ice is expected to come down. now, we don't have much out here yet. that's because this system really isn't expected to ramp up until late this afternoon and really into the evening hours. and it's that overnight time line that's going to cause some of the impacts, because those temperatures will drop back. that will allow a lot of this to change over into that wintry mix. and ice for chicago, cleveland, detroit. and then finally, by the time we get to thursday morning, it now becomes an issue for washington, d.c., philadelphia stretching into portions of upstate new york and even into vermont and new

hampshire. the only good news here is that it's pretty quick. so by the time we get to late thursday overnight, and especially by friday morning, that system has finally pushed out of the area. but in the short term, you're still looking at some pretty impactful ice widespread most of these areas, up to about a 10th of an inch of ice. but it's not out of the question for some of these areas to pick up a quarter of an inch, maybe as much as half an inch of ice. especially this portion here of southern pennsylvania, portions of maryland, and maybe that northeastern tip of west virginia. otherwise, south, you're looking at mostly light rain, most of these areas picking up up to an inch at best. snow is going to be heaviest the farther north interior portions of new england, especially the green and white mountains, where they could end up picking up at least six inches of snow before all of this finally exits the area. >> and i'm asking this, allison, because it is national meteorologist day, and i feel like it will be. you'll be extra honest here. i mean, should i take the day off? is it going to be too hard for me to get into work tomorrow? >> um, you know, it could be dicey. i think the key thing here is making sure they treat

the roads as they should. but ice is a hard component, because even as good as they can treat the roads, ice is just very slick, especially on those bridges and the overpasses. but if you're just looking for an excuse, i. >> give you full permission. all you had to say was work tomorrow. >> that's all he was looking for. he was just looking for one answer. your permission to be off. and so the boss is like, oh, yeah, it was going to, allison said, is so dangerous. >> allison said. so there you go. that's all. >> you needed. >> that's what he was looking for. >> allison chinchar, thank you very much, really, for all of that. >> for putting up with him. good times. thank you so much for joining us today. this is cnn news central. cnn newsroom is up next. >> the boeing 747 has crashed in the lockerbie area. >> trying to find out the why of it became everything. >> nothing is what it seems in the lockerbie story. >> lockerbie, the bombing of pan am flight 103, february 16th on. and doug. >> you'll be. >> back.
