tornado causing damage. very dangerous situation unfolding. we have this line, this whole area surrounding the i 40 corridor between little rock and memphis, tennessee. this is the area of concern. these storms have been moving rapidly to the north and east between 60 and 70 miles per hour. you can't outrun these things. you can't see them. they are rain wrapped. it is nighttime. when the sirens go off you definitely need to take them very seriously. a tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to occur. this watch is what we call a particularly dangerous situation. that is what has been evolving at this hour. there are reports of dangerous in arkansas on the north side of town. several homes have been damaged. we also have reports of fires burning in eastern arkansas because power lines have been coming down with this situation, as well. on the northern tier, this is

our latest watch issued for western kentucky, southwestern indiana, southern parts of illinois. there are possible tornadoes that could be embedded. i think damaging winds are the greater concern. the last area is the tail end. look at the line towards shreveport. a tornado watch may be needed here. this is an ongoing situation. very dangerous. we expect this line of storms to continue through the overnight hours as they progress to the east. >> the question on a lot of people's minds, what about tomorrow's commute? >> very concerned about travellers for a number of reasons. if we look for tomorrow, the severe weather threat will be diminished but we will have showers and thunderstorms especially across the southeast. if you are traveller the clouds will be low. that will make it difficult at the airports. the northeastern corridor you

will wake up to freezing rain. we have advisories in effect. as we head through even by mid morning, temperatures are going to warm up enough that this will melt off and will no longer be a concern. out west it has been a mess of a weekend with incredible winds. more than 100,000 people without power in washington state. heavy snow making its way down the sierras. two feet of snow possible by this time tomorrow. really getting slammed in so many areas. tomorrow is going to be really tough for travellers. >> if the weather situation needs updated we'll check back. the latest shock to hit the campus of penn state university. the school's football coach, joe paterno who came to an end amid scandal has lost his battle to

cancer. sus >> reporter: in the shadow of joe paterno's statue students sang their alma mater. after 61 years of coaching, puterno won fans. >> joe was penn state. he made penn state. it is really just a very sad, sad day for all of us. >> reporter: in the end the winningest coach in college football lost his life to lung cancer. he was 85. he died as he lived his family said. he fought hard to the end. the end came two and a half months after he was fired as head coach. paterno was not criminally charged in the child rape case involving his former assistant

coach, jerry sandusky. he acknowledged he could have done more. in what turned out to be his final interview just over a week ago he tried to explain his thinking. >> i have never had to deal with anything like that. i have had a wonderful experience with penn state. i don't want to walk away from this thing bitter. >> reporter: still some question whether paterno and the university tried to cover up the sex abuse allegations. paterno fans stand by him. >> we are still going to love him. it wasn't joe's fault. we are going to love joe paterno forever and ever. >> reporter: for some his loss could be more painful because of questions that may taint his legacy. we should tell you jerry

sandusky is reacting to news of paterno's death. his arrest on child molestuation charges led to the firing of the coach. nobody did more for the acad academic -- another major story we are following tonight. for the past year we have watched arizona congress woman, gabrielle giffords. as our athenna jones reports, giffords is resigning from congress to focus on getting better. >> i will step down this week. >> reporter: in a video

announcing her decision to resign from congress, arizona representative gabby giffords had a message. >> thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. >> reporter: giffords says she has more work to do on that recovery, a year after being shot in the head during a rampage. >> i don't remember much. >> reporter: giffords was hosting a meet and greet on january 8, 2011 when prosecutors say jared loughner opened fire. thores believe he targeted the congress woman. after undergoing months of rehabilitation giffords was greeted to a standing ovation. whether she would come back full time remained uncertain. earlier this month as tucson marked the anniversary of the shooting giffords chief of staff described her thinking. >> i think for her it is a

personal decision. >> reporter: before she leaves office giffords plans to hold a private gathering with some people who were there. she will also attend the president's state of the union address on tuesday. in a statement president obama said >> i'm getting better. every day my spirit is high. i will return and we will work together for arizona and this great country. >> reporter: athenna jones, cnn, washington. next here, gabby giffords, best friend joins me to share her thoughts and to talk florida politics.

she says she needs the time to focus on the recovery. i know you have been very busy. congress woman gabby giffords told you about the decision before she made the announcement. can you tell us about the conversation? >> sure. i talked to mark and went to visit gabby at the end of december and then at the end of november, as well. i had a couple of conversations with gabby about the way she was thinking. i had to tell you, when i left the last time i went to visit her in december i told my husband that i wouldn't be surprised if she decided that she wasn't going to run for reelection. this decision of gabby's is really quint essential gabby giffords. gabby knew that once she had decided that she wasn't going to run for reelection and she

needed to really focus on her recovery she needed to step aside for herself so her constituents could get full time representation. she cares about them so much. that was her number one priority. >> it is not just about her. the people's business needs to be taken care of. >> she loves public service. i know she is coming back. she wants to come back to public service. gabby giffords doesn't do anything half way. she gives everything 150%. if she wanted to come back in 2012 -- if she had done that she would have been dividing her time between focussing on recovery and doing her job. she would have had to do both half way. she realized her recovery is going to stretch into years rather than months. it is better to focus on coming 100% back and return to public

service later on. >> thank you so much for talking about her. she is not being selfish about it. she needs to focus on the recovery. i have to ask you about politics. you know that you are the head of the dnc. in your state, florida, you were at gingrich head quarters in south carolina last night. you saw the passion of the south carolina voters for him. have democrats been preparing to take on the wrong republican in mitt romney? >> no. mitt romney has earned the scrutiny that he has gotten. i have been through a number of presidential elections. on my watch we are not going to take the mischaracterizations and distortions and lies that mitt romney has told about president obama's incredible record in getting this economy turned around lying down, not on my watch. it is important that people

understand the contrast between the direction that mitt romney would take this country back to the failed republican policies of the past. >> you are so focussed on mitt romney here. just being on the ground, newt gingrich inspires a lot of passion from conservatives, more passion than mitt romney inspires. people would say he inspires just as much passion and maybe as much on the right as barack obama does on the left. is he an opponent for barack obama come november? >> newt gingrich has spent really this whole entire primary making extremely divisive statements and really embracing the tea party and embracing extremism. he is certainly no better a choice than mitt romney would be. mitt romney is coming into my home state of florida with this state being his race to lose. he has something like a 22 point

lead here in the last poling. for him there are ten days between now and the primary. the more people see mitt romney the less they like him. with two debates between now and january 31 it will be interesting whether he comes clean. does he release years of tax returns. right now he is saying he will release 2010 and an estimate of 2011. that is unacceptable. he is hanging his predicate for his campaign on his economic record. in the business sector, he owes it to the american people to show his background financially and be transparent. >> that is going to have to be the last word. we want to thank you for talking politics and thank you for talking about your friend. >> thanks for giving me the opportunity to come on about gabby. my conversation with legendary anchorman, dan rather who is outspoke bnt the gop and

the news media.

dan rather has covered presidential elections for more than four decades and now is covering the upcoming florida primary. i spoke to him about newt gingrich's fiery week and his convincing south carolina win. >> newt gingrich has the momentum. there is the old song from some light opera, hearts can inspire other hearts with their fire. and gingrich has the fire. as we mentioned earlier he does inspire people, those who don't

like him and they are not all democrats. he has really caught fire. if he can keep the momentum going in florida then we have a real race here, one for the republican nomination that can go deep into the spring and possibly to the republican convention itself with someone such as jeb bush coming in at the tail end. florida is not south carolina, as we all know. it is a much bigger state, much more diverse state. mitt romney has the advantage there. don't forget a fairly high percentage of the votes in the florida primary have been cast absentee before the south carolina race. so i would to always look natural, to look like me, while a lot of other actresses because newt who can be ornery when chooses

to do so as evidence in the debate when he unloaded. >> i want to play some of that. i'm glad you talked about that. he had a strong week leading into south carolina. defining moment when john king asks him to respond to the interview his exwife gave to abc. >> she says you asked her to enter into an open marriage. would you like to respond to that? >> no. but i will. >> we know how that went. he went on basically to cast gate the media saying i can't believe you would do that. in reaction to the response, rick santorum told a south carolina crowd not to fall for his rivals tactics. >> i would say to the people of south carolina, take a step back. get past the one liners and

beating up of the media. get past the nevitability that the person with the most money wins. he didn't win iowa. >> obviously he was taking a shot at newt gingrich. is this significant, a gop candidate finally admitting to blaming the media which is so easy to do? >> particularly in republican primaries it is so-called red meat in primaries. let's be clear. this election is not about the nomination process or the press or whatever anybody thinks about the press. it is about the economy and specifically jobs. and it's about how are women going to go in the general election. as citizens we need to keep our focus on what the election is about. >> that was dan rather. to that point we are going to talk a bit more. it was the most explosive start

yet to a republican presidential debate. >> and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that. >> newt gingrich exploding at john king over a question about his exwife. many think it won him the south carolina primary. it doesn't mean he gets to claim the moral high ground here. talking points is next.

of the news media. >> we can debate whether it should have been the first question. conventional wisdom is it swung the primary in his favor. it is the classic gop move to blame the media. what is surprising is that for the first time and just this week, someone in the gop is acknowledging that the gop has a media blaming addiction. >> i would say to the people of south carolina, take a step back. get past the one liners, the beating up of the media which is always popular among conservatives. >> that is obviously a slap at his opponent. he did admit it and admitting it is the first step. the media are fair game. what is disengen world series about the holier than thou response is that it purposefully ignores his history.
