a winter storm has slammed into the east coast of the united states. bringing heavy snow, an icy winds. severe weather alerts were issued across the region of around 70000000 people. residents are being urged to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. the snow storm is almost empty. the streets of boston with authorities urging people to stay at home. the bomb sigh clone 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. we 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. some were out enjoying a rare sight manhattan blanketed by a half a meter of snow. this is just a nice sweet winter snowfall. i'm so happy that it is harry, unless you his heart, that silly. ha, getting your snowball fights. the storm is expected to continue until sunday morning, until then it stay home or get home as soon as possible. massachusetts is one of the worst hit states in the us, and that is where meteorologist matthew caputo is standing by for us, matthews, tens of thousands of households throughout the state are still experiencing power out. it is why can you tell us about the overall toll of this weekend storm in the u. s. yeah, guys, that's exactly right. you know, at one point we had the entirety of provincetown on the tip of cape car without

power, but 25 percent of the cape still remains thou power. and the rhodes, i gotta say, are in horrible shape. behind me, you can see only one problem come through it the pass 80 hours, which is really unusual for a place that deals with heavy snow. like we are a new england boon. most impressive things i've been sent to meter per our snowfall re no road crews to keep up at all. we wind up with about 55 centimeters worth of snow here, but some areas thus 75 centimeters, almost raking records to boston saw there was no yes, the january day ever recorded. and their 2nd most we countered it every quarter with records the back of the hundreds and doesn't necessarily seem lengthy authorities have the situation under control. how are people their coping? yeah, that's a really good point to the point we actually had to call our town because we haven't seen a snowplow come down in about 18 hours. only one person drove by. and now we have roughly 20 plus centimeters of snow on the ground since the last time they plowed,

which was yesterday afternoon, it's been a full 18 hours. nothing. if somebody had a medical emergency in this neighborhood, they just wouldn't have any access to medical care because obviously bruce can't get by which is pretty concerning. at the same time to, you know, it's clear behind who have no blanket of cloud covers to hold onto our temperatures overnight. so tonight you will get bone chilling lea cold with double digits below 0 celsius. and anyone who's lost power, including the majority of cape cod, we'll see temperatures in their household. it's dangerous levels. so children, elderly vulnerable populations, we're really concerned for them as we have throughout his next bitterly cold night . how are people bracing for them being chill? that is now coming her way. well, we've heard a lot of people firing up generators, and one thing i think is really important distress. you cannot run generators near your house or in your house. a lot of people are buying them now. they haven't used it before, but we had a big spate of recent storms in past couple years that have left people without

power for days or weeks of times. a lot of folks know buying generators so they can stay warm, but it's important people know generator safety, carbon monoxide, stuff like that. we're also hearing people just trying to stock upon blanks and everything that can fortunately, folks in this area know what storms can do. they bought non perishable foods, they bought water, they made sure they have all the medications they need. it's one of those things where no one can really go out about for about 48 hours time and you have to stay home. enjoy the beauty of it, but make sure you stay warm too. that's the lice given to us by meteorologist matthew community in cape cod, massachusetts. thank you so much. thank you. mother nature also generated a wild night of weather in northern europe. brutal gusts of wind left at least 4 people dead in scandinavia and northern germany. the storm left its mark on mountain tops, major cities all the way to the coastal regions. the storm system known as nadia in germany hit the north sea coast with spectacular force

wind gusts of more than a 100 kilometers an hour combined with a tidal surge to push hard. but it couldn't keep on lucas away bombs. and it's amazing that kind of power nature has while coastal areas were lifted, batted and water loved by the rising tide. further inland, the emergency service workers were left to deal with the downs trees. while services were halted in many places around berlin in need by brandenburg one man died after being hit by a falling election poster. as the storm moved east and towards the higher elevations on germany's border with the chick republic,

the winds. power remained but wore an eerie white cloak of snow. warnings of hurricane force winds lived up to all expect haitians. only those with a job to do, we're brave enough to get out and make tracks as germans stayed battened down to get through the night with storm nadia. let's get a round up now of some other stories making world news to day. israel president is our heard zach has arrived in the united arab emirates. the 1st visit by an israeli had a states to the golf country the way and israel normalized relationships and a u. s. brokered accord in 2020 sudanese security forces have shot and killed a 27 year old anti coo protester in the capitol. cartoon medic say, the man died from a chest wound. his death brings the number of those kill demonstrating for civilian

rule to 79. since the military took over, in october, northern ireland is marking 50 years since the bloody sunday massacre with events across the country. on this day and $972.00 british soldiers shot dead, 13 unarmed civilians during a protest and the city of london dairy, also known as dairy. and the consequences can still be felt to day. okay, these people are commemorating one of the dog has chapters of the north, not in conflict, one that unfolded 5 decades ago. today. thousands of mostly catholic processes had gathered for a rally against a new law, allowing imprisonment without trial for his troops deployed to block the marches of to you started throwing bottles and stones. soldiers responded with tear gas rubber, bullets, and water cannon de paratroopers. also open fi with live rounds, shooting at the marches off less than half an hour of shooting,

13 marches were dead. with over, it does more injured. the 14th, which succumb to their wounds. months later, the soldiers claimed their talk. did gunman and bomb throw as a government inquiry support to the armies account that was panned as a whitewash? only in 2010 would his 2nd inquiry report ever one shot was unarmed, but no bombs were thrown. that soldiers had lied. the conclusions of this report, ah, absolutely clear. there is no dive. there is nothing equivocal. there are no ambiguities. what happened on bloody sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. it was wrong. the british government issued to form an apology, but to this day, no one has faced trial over the killings. and i'm joined now by the w a political correspondent, emanuel shod. she lived in ireland where she studied irish history and give us

a low more context here. why was bloody sunday such a watershed moment for northern ireland? well, the northern ireland comfy doesn't start with a bloody sunday. in fact, it's fans over at well 3 decades of decades of irish history. and we see an opposition within the population between people who are the people who wanna stay remain are within the united kingdom's and people overdraw, their a join, the average hardly a vine. and so the, and the, so a lot is sunday happened. i, you know, just so in the report we said our 13 unarmed people were killed dar day in the streets of that city of a dairy devil, all catholics. they were all unarmed and these will just are the few to the fire of the northern irish, a conflict, also known as the troubles. and we see just how significant disadvantage are was in, in irish history in exactly what we see here in hundreds of people taking to the

streets to commemorate at event with families are marching the same, passed their relatives did a carrying portraits of the victims were as so children are in the streets of dairy, oh, carrying white roses, so it's so it's a tipping point in irish history and into history of the troubles. why is the commemoration so important? the one we're seeing today is a part of the healing process. part of her healing process and no. so actually pointing out of the fact that the healing isn't is not complete for many relatives, you know, day, most of them when we, when you talk to them, you realize that didn't get closure because after the savvy then inquiry or the killings, the shootings were deemed and justified and unjustifiable, but no, as sol dear has been tried so far, which is something that their families would very much like to see. the conflict officially ended with a good friday agreement of 1998. but was there ever

a true reconciliation in northern ireland? partly yes and there, but it is a, it is a fragile piece that was c in northern ireland and a piece that is easily shaken and has been the case with brag seat. and the question of the a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland has revived a di, you know, a good old of feuds between an island or the republic of ireland and northern island in abbey 10. so there is a piece of, but it's still very fragile and much as thank you. so for your mouse is such a pleasure having you and you are watching dw news life from berlin. coming up next is d w's. nick connelly taking us to the front line in ukraine's don bass. that's on world story. so stay tuned for that. i will be back with more headlines at the top at the hours completed with,
