alerts were issued across the region of around 70000000 people. residents are being urged to stay in doors and avoid unnecessary travel. the snow storm is almost empty . the streets of boston with authorities urging people to stay at home. the bomb cyclone, as meteorologists call it, has generated a dangerous mixture of snow. and hurricane force winds in new england storm surges are threatening communities along the coast, forcing many people to flee inland to safety. we got some sandbags re elevated things in our basement, but this is one of the worst storms i've seen so far. tens of thousands have been left without power along the eastern us. in rhode island, driving is only allowed in emergencies. new york city was spared the worst of the blizzard. somewhere out, enjoying a rare sight manhattan, blanketed by a half a meter of snow. this is just an ice sweet winter snowfall

among so happy that it is harry, unless you hit her silly. ha. okay. there snowball fights. the storm is expected to continue until sunday morning until then it stay home or get home as soon as possible. and cape cod in massachusetts is one of the worst hit places with 100 percent of customers in the town of province town losing power on saturday. and from there i'm joined by meteorologist matthew capuchin matthew. at least 10 states apparently been affected by the storm. it that's a 5th of the entire united states. what's the situation like now? yes, if lea a pretty impressive storm, you know, we had about 10000000 people who saw foot or more of snow fall behind you and i can see about 50 to 60 cent heaters on the ground. the snow just ended about 2 or 3

hours ago. we'll look at this, we're going to bare pavement yesterday. now, all of a sudden we have really impressive snow totals that fence over there is roughly about as tall as me and now or a few how deep that snow is. now one of the interesting element to talk about how this is a bomb psych loan. indeed it is. what does that mean? well, we have a strong low pressure system. it starts air and evacuated out the top. this thing intensified so quickly that its central pressure just plummeted. it was like a vacuum cleaner. so went from barely anything, a blip on weather maps to a hurricane for slow in just 24 hours time, almost doubling the pace of rapid string need to get that bomb. psych loan status. well, that's pretty impressive. and, and this blizzard is expected to keep the east coast in its grip from what we hear well into sunday, to the authorities, you feel have the situation under control. well, right now, so it's actually pulling way for the canadian maritime. so no more blizzard for us,

but now it's kind of around the weather because temperatures are dropping quite a bit. a lot of folks, as you mentioned, don't have power 100 percent to provincetown without power, about 20 percent of cape cod. as a whole without power. so now temperature is about minus 5 minus 10 degrees celsius . that's dangerous. so the elderly population who don't have heat. and so we'll officials are crying. i haven't really going to press like even a rope with nope over centimeters for our earlier rod. that's something that no road crew can handle. so my 3, for example, still has been plowed that it's cold temperatures. dangerous for people who don't have the necessary precautions in place. yeah, i can imagine and listen, we're just starting 2022. we look back on 2021 in the states, the weather stories, the deadly cold, texas, california, burning kentucky, tornadoes this year is there seems to be starting off on, on, on a negative foot again. is there some sort of relationship to this pattern of global

warming? that's a really good question. now the ne does see the storms quite a bit once or twice every winter. once this magnitude are pretty rare. now overall, thanks. if you want to do climate change, where you think less snow in general, because obviously it's a little bit warmer, so it's tougher to get snow. but the cool thing is because it's a little warm or we're adding more moisture to the air. so for occasions where we already be below freezing now there's just that much extra moisture to work with. so we actually get bigger snow during the high end event. so to recap, overall less snow. but when we do get snow storms once in a while, they tend to be a little bigger than they otherwise would be lost and actually set their record for snow january day, ever observed with record stating that the 1800 good. this really was a high end of that. okay, that's the meteorologist, math think poochie showing us the snow storm and cape cod, massachusetts. thanks so much. thank you. sergio matter rela has been reelected as

italy's president after 6 days and 8 rounds of voting. the 80 year old prius, he said he didn't want to serve another term with prime minister mary draggy, urge them to stay on to insure political stability in the country. now to rela, is seen as a compromise candidate. after all, the other candidates put forward by the coalition government failed to gain enough support. sergio matter ela said he is staying in power to help at least recover from recent hardships with their quantity. only these conditions require that one doesn't slip away from the duties to which one is called upon and all meant that they won't. but naturally these must have pre valence over other considerations. and other personal prospects with the commitment to interpret the expectations and the hopes of our fellow citizens. and if parents, if they're not, they're going to study in sim, a group to has been following

a story for us from rome. earlier we asked her sergio material as re election as president was a last resort. well, it seemed to be the only resort at this stage in terms of the only one that all political factions, whether the center, right, or the center left, felt that they could get behind. i mean, this voting process went through 6 days, 8 rounds of voting before the president was re elected with 759 boat right after he was he passed that 505 threshold that meeting president, there was a lot of laws in the parliament and people finally found the solution mario drug, the prime minister, releasing a statement after the election thing. it was blended news for italian. he thank the president and said that the strong parliament elementary backing show that he was the right man for the jobs and pretty much stay just for if you like said you much

rayleigh as president and mario drug remaining in his role as prime minister that was journalist seen a group from roman sergio matter. relas reelection as italian president, britain is preparing to offer nato, a major deployment of troops, warships, and jets to eastern europe. prime minister boris johnson said the move was in response to russia's rising hostility towards ukraine. if nato accepts the offer, it could double the number of u. k. troops already stationed there. american president joe biden also plans to send american troops to boost in his presence there. uses defense officials awarding that russia has deployed enough forces on that ukraine's border to invade the entire country. it turned out attention to on another border. the european union member, poland is working on a permanent security fence along its frontier with fellers for months. thousands of migrants have been trying to reach the european union via that route. poland says

the wall as a justified response to the crisis of critics. a is also a barrier for genuine asylum seekers. the foundation for a border wall is dug into the frozen ground along the polish belly ruffian border. the 1st stage for a 5 me to high steel fence with motion detectors, poland barrier to prevent people from crossing. but other these fence is being erected for safety reasons so that we don't have to fear any further provocation from belarus. details of the exact ruesch of the fence are being kept secret. every day between 20 and 50 undocumented people tried across the border, se polish border gods. that significantly less than a few months ago. there met by almost 10000 polish soldiers and gods, and loudspeakers blaring in different languages. the polish border is closed. this is the end of your journey go back to minsk. but refugee 8 organizations believe

the more than 360000000 euro project is miss guide. it was left on the vast sums of money spent on building. this barrier would be enough to establish an effective arrival and asylum system in poland. this has been lacking for years. back we open up for critics. the fence is not a sign of strength, but rather of the failure of polish and european refugee policies. ah, raphael nadal is chasing a record 21st grand slam in today's australian open final and melbourne. spanish tennis champion will face off against danielman, yet if 25 year old russian player is aiming to win his 2nd success of grand slam title after his victory. at the us open in september, this year's competition was marked on in deportation of the unvaccinated tennis star novak joke. h and

d w's chris hair. chris harrington. forgive me. chris is here with me now to talk about the big game. so is raphael nadal going to make history? you know, i think the crowd wants him to make history. he said to come back story. you know, he injured his foot. he, he contracted cove, it, he just happy to be there really appearing in only his 2nd australian open final. if he is successful, he'd be one of 4 players to have $12.00 grand slam finals or multiple services. you know, so it's really the combination of something great. we're all watching raf. an adult, you know, arguably is, could retire after this certain. maybe, you know, he's, there is 35 years old, you know, but all in all, i think it's a great story in obviously with the historic achievement within his grasp, even greater that there's another person who has a little history. majid has a habit of stopping people from establishing grand slam records. is he gonna? does he have a chance of doing that again? well, you know, the head to head against. he and the doll. a doll has

a slight edge, but amid, amid, would have won the last encounter between the 2 and he is known as a giant slayer. he prevented. no bad joke of it from attaining his 21st grand slam . i know the big 3. that's the big argument, the doll fedor id, and no back joke of it will amendment if any of that story the last time. no, no back was in a final and he spoke on that. he said he knew what was at stake then, and he thinks he knows what to stick now. he's expecting a very competitive matched a fight till the very end of his journey to the final hasn't been easy. i think the crowd has been a bit turbulent towards him and he's even been fined as well. but you could argue it's a turning of the tide because in his historic reach, you know, he won his last, grants them vital, and he could make history if he wins his 2nd. he could become the 1st man in men's singles to do so. if he is successful, so history either way, either way. but this tournament was really overshadowed, i think at the start by the joke of ich vaccination deportation. judicial brouhaha
