government workers, and regular citizens pitched in to make a start cleaning up right now for me, is this the cleanup. what i can get this cleared and then try to see who else i can help. a tall order after the massive storm peeled off, roofs tossed vehicles and ripped trees out of the ground. but more help is on the way. i've had the opportunity for the last couple of hours to speak with the homeland security secretary as well as president biden, who have offered a tremendous amount of support, anything that arkansas needs. they have assured us that those resources will be here on the ground. more videos emerge from residents who found themselves in the wrong place. at the moment the tornadoes touched down. oh, ah,

i thought i thought the destruction was quick, but the effort to rebuild from a storm this large will take time. while to find out more about the storms i spoke to david no style may meteorologist in the us state of alabama. and i asked him, why have we been seeing so many strong tornadoes this year? well, this is our middle of our 2018 season here across the united states. kind of start the march ramps up in april into may. so these are common to happen and this time of year, but the storm is actually stronger. got down to about 980000000 bars, a little stronger when you get that stronger system over land. you can get pretty good strong tornadoes in the day. we did have that from parts of the united states and iowa, annoy again, arkansas. back in parts of mississippi, tennessee, even here in alabama as well too. so this time of year we can get these just have

that warm, humid air coming up in the gulf of mexico beating the colder air from up in canada . the class together out there get a strong front to come in and he's done or storms thrive on energy, the warm, humid air. and then d, we did have quite a few of them, and unfortunately this won't be the last we'll have the spring. tell us, is there a link between climate change and the frequency and intensity of tornadoes? right now there's no study that says that obviously with some warm work, humid air coming from the gulf, mexico that does become fuel for some of these storms that baby to work human error, which those storms thrive off of. what studies are sto ongoing as to the small impact of a tornado versus a global impact overseeing the united states is, let's say, particularly affected by tornadoes. can you explain to us why that is? it's just a set up of where we are on the face of the earth. we have our rocky mountain over

the western part of the country. we have our appalachian mountains over the east and then between you have this river valley right where the mississippi river is. and that allows all this warm air to come up from the south mean in cold air from the north. and when the system is kind of collide and those set up like we had yesterday, that allows us to get really strong areas of low pressure. and that helps to form these systems. and we can see these each and every year. and anytime we get in the spring time, it is 20 season here. now, one thing that you were mentioning there is the vast area that's been effected, right. and we're seeing these images and we need these images of the destruction. how well prepared are these areas for this, this type of wild weather that we've been seeing. but since this is a yearly occurrence, it's kind of a way of life here in alabama for sure. we see these 20 years more often than we would like and much of those areas to do to it's one of the things we have 20 to

sovereign care and kind of sound like an air raid siren. that's great if you're outside but not could. if you're in your home, you may not hear them, especially at night. the best thing for all the residents here across the country is to have a weather radio which will automatically go off and alert you if there is to be whether we hope most of those people did or your cellphone will actually go up here . united states for emergency weather alerts to thank you, david david, no spam meteorologist, joining us from alabama. russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the united nations security council, sparking furious reaction in ukraine. keeps foreign minister to metro qu, labor called it a quote slap in the face for the international community. ukraine had urged members to block the move, but the u. s. s. there is no mechanism for doing so. the largely ceremonial role puts moscow in charge of setting b security cancels agenda,

but ukraine's president of a lot, amir zalinski has also condemned russia's presidency as absurd in his daily address . he said, a shows the council is a bankrupt institution. no mind will work. there is no form of terror. russia has not committed and there is no reason to stop the reform of global institutions. in particular, the un security council reform is clearly overdue, so that the terrorists state or any other state that wants to be a terrorist state, cannot disrupt peace. terrorists must lose, must be held accountable for terror and not to prevail anyway. right, let's take a look now with some of the other stories making news around the world. tens of thousands of israelis have again joined protests against the governments. planned judicial over whole prime minister benjamin netanyahu has put the plans on hold. but critics say the changes would compromise the judiciary independence and want
