a struggling to find the face of spirit. we don't know what's gonna happen whether or not they have extra flights for tonight or they're saying maybe they won't even have flights tomorrow. so it's christmas. it's like the weather outside truly is frightful and it's creating travel calles for the millions of people heated home for the holidays. more than 3000 flights have been cancelled many a stranded at airports during what is one of the busiest travel times of the tried like dozens and dozens of different airports. i called the airline and they tried, but there's like no availability. so after christmas, the severe cold isn't only a problem for air travel. driving is extremely treacherous with roads blanketed and snow and ice. the weather has left more than 1000000 homes without power. but conditions are especially dia for those who don't have any shelter. with the

cold, one of the things that can be dangerous as people can be laying on the sidewalk or sleeping outside. and you don't always realize just how dire of a situation that you're in. it can be really easy for people to kind of dose off and fall asleep and unfortunately end up losing their lives because of the cold weather. more than 200000000 americans are under extreme, wither advisories, the national wither services. it's one of the largest warnings eva these satellite images revealing what santa could be up against and time for the big day. forecast as a warning that parts of the country could be on track for the coldest christmas on record. let's get more on this from matthew could purchase his that made you are older just based in washington dc. good to say, matthew a stop by asking what a flock way you are right now. yeah, most definitely. so me here in the nation's capital and temperatures are roughly

dropped yesterday afternoon, eastern time. so we saw a morning. temperature is around 345 degrees celsius, plenty of rainfall. then aside during arctic front came through is our brief versus no garage, also snow pellets, and then suddenly those temperatures plummeted. all the moisture and airy roadways froze and the wind picked up gusting to about 70 kilometers per hour and actually knocking down a tree just as that the city and fortunately, killing a driver. now across the us, we're seeing the worse are pretty much every season. over the center us temperature is pointing back about minus 40 celsius. over the eastern u. s. strong winds gusting to near 100 kilometers per hour over upstate new york. visibility is literally down to 0. people can't see more than 3 meters away. and of course you have the snow as well in some places. you've got 150 centimeters awfully here in ontario at matthew with in tracking this storm for dice. now how severe it is, the storm turning out to be i think the biggest things is just really how big of

a storm system it is. it's undergoing what we call bob, a chassis or rabbit, intensification. and what that means is basically it's evacuating so much air up and out of the center of the top like a chimney. they can 2nd more air from all sides. and that's why it's able to pull in the siberian air in the backside in the moisture in east side in between where you get that clash, you get the blizzard conditions. but really the fact that it's so big, close you both. 1600 kilometers across means, strong winds for at least half of the lower $48.00 the continuous united states. and that's why we're seeing so many flight delays up to about 2500 cancellation so far. and keep in mind, this is coming in a time when more than $110000000.00 americans ordinarily would be traveling 80 hours or more for the holiday. so really this is disrupting travel of the busiest travel week of the year. you painted a vivid picture of elliot thing a once in

a generation stone. is this an anomaly though, or is a part of a larger pattern? now? that's a really good question. so i kind of want to talk about where this fits in. ordinarily when we talk about these bomb psych loans, we see them in like november through roughly april. that's really want to get go, especially towards a forest hat the season. we typically see in though, in areas where we call barrow literacy, which, which sounds like a fancy word essentially means a large temperature ratings are temperature. contrast your deserve yet to air masses kind of clashing, which is most common off the eastern seaboard of the united states. over the gulf stream, it's pretty rare to see one over land. so to see one over the great lakes is a typical, especially one, the strong. that said we do see them from time to time. so, well, i want to say that this is a novelist. it's not sort of a climate change, a cost thing may the religious matthew could purchase the in washington. they say thanks so much. thank you. french president

amendment clone has condemned the deadly shooting in paris a which he says was a deliberate attack on the kurdish community. 3 people died in friday, shooting in the capital and several others were seriously injured. police arrested a 69 year old french citizen in connection with the attack. ah, paramedics rushed to take care of the wounded. the emergency services launched a large scale operation and central paris. after shots were fired in a kurdish cultural center, a restaurant, and the barber shop will have you gone that we saw holding on to a man a big older man. there were 3 people wounded in the barber shop. so some one asked me to ring an ambulance, so i called them and the police, the police, the suspected shooter, a 69 year old french citizen, was placed under arrest. the former train driver and hobby marksman is known to

please. he's been charged with committing violence against foreigners before. after allegedly injuring to migrant. a year ago, he was released from jail early this month on the judicial supervision. french interior minister sher out our manager, visited the crime scene and said the attacker clearly wanted to target foreigners the more you may also do everything we can to clarify the details of the attack shudder. barry and the motive editor said don't get a good a 20 minute. he was over. it already seems clear. he manifest that. he acted alone . the more she said dominant announced that authorities would step up efforts to protect kurdish residence while he was visiting the center. clashes broke out between police and demonstrators with protesters throwing stones and police responding with tear gas. they doubly sonya found. the car has more on the underlying anger felt in the kurdish community which led to those questions. this attack comes, you know, nearly 10 years after 3 kurdish female act this well murdered in paris in january,

2013. that included the co founder of the militant national go to stun workers, spotty, the picky key. and the judicial investigation into those murders is still ongoing in france. authorities, he'll have spoken of the involvement of the members of talking secret sciences. so i think there is a lot of anger among the kurdish community for, you know, at the police will feeling to protect them yet again fulfilling to solve those models 10 years ago. so i think emotions really running high among the kurdish population in france from paris now on to some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the opium, the investigators have confirmed in i found a report that faulty software caused the fatal crash. the boeing 737 max in 2019, or 157 passengers and crew died after the plane crashed just 6 minutes after take
