involvement yet. >> does isis have the ability to shoot down an airliner? >> it's unlikely but i wouldn't rule it out. >> reporter: owners of the metrojet say the plane went down after an external impact, but russian officials say that statement is premature. a source in egypt says the plane's black box indicates the jet was not struck from the outside, and i pilot did not make a distress call before it crashed. but congressman peter king says terrorism cannot be ruled out. >> the fact that there was such a large explosion, certainly terrorism has to be considered. that's a hotbed, that area there, for isis, for al qaeda, for islamic militants and the arab spring has only gotten much worse. to me this has all the earmarks of something that has to be looked at as far as terrorism. >> congressman peter king talking about the sinai peninsula. we'll be showing you more of that at 5:30 including a map of that terror zone.

it." he explained it like this. >> i think you need to have proven leadership to fix the big, complex things. and we have candidates that are great at talking about things, great at disparaging others, but not many people on the stage that actually have the ability to fix the things that are broken. >> meantime, the rest of the gop field is still moving forward with their plan to bile did pass the republican national committee and directly negotiate with the tv networks ahead of all future debates. many of the campaigns are now working together to draft a letter of demands. trump's campaign, you know, they initially seemed to sign off on it, but now they're going it alone, they say as they've done for the previous three debates, they will negotiate directly with the host network. heather? >> thank you so much. kristin fisher live for us. meantime, president obama now stepping off the sidelines to rip republicans over debate reform. >> every one of these candidates say, you know, obama's weak.

by disrespectful kind of useless moderators who clearly showed the world that there's a liberal bias. so the gop won. and actually came out of the debate looking good as a group. at this point, i think to continue to beat the horse, it's kind of pointless. >> well, you can watch the next gop debate one week from today on the fox business network. coverage gets started at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> that is one to watch. talking about extreme weather right now. whipping winds causing a massive pileup. take a look. more than 20 cars smashing into each other in bakersfield, california. >> in the mountains, old man winter arriving early. some areas in the sierras seen six inches to a foot of snow. marina malina is here tracking more storms. >> good morning. that's right, we're looking at snow along the higher elevations across california and also across the great basin and rockies. a lot of areas looking at that winter weather. and because of that we do have a

number of winter storm warnings in effect. i want to show you the radar because it's very busy across nevada, you have that snowfall, across idaho and montana right around the billings area. again, those higher elevations have those colder temperatures. so the storm is able to bring in some of that snowfall, and it's going to be accumulating at times as well. we're talking about, like you mentioned, 6 to 12 inches of snow and potentially even some higher snowfall amounts. we have winter storm warnings that are in effect across parts of montana and also farther south in through portions of nevada. and eventually that snow's going to make its way eastward into parts of colorado. so we'll be seeing that snow move in out there as well. in other news, we also have heavy rain that's forecast across the carolinas. we'll bring you more on that coming up in the next 30 minutes. let's head over to you. >> maria, thank you. we'll check in with you later. >> thank you. let's talk sports now. the panthers continue their best start in franchise history. but it required a thrilling finish on "monday night football." watch this.

>> it's unlikely but i wouldn't rule it out. >> now, take a look at this map. it shows various terror danger zones throughout the world that some airlines are now avoiding. the russian plane went down in the sinai peninsula. one of those zones where egypt's military is fighting isis forces. all of this leading to more speculation that terrorism may have been involved in the plane's crash. >> physical evidence shows that the actual airplane, the actual compartment shows pieces of metal fanning out like they were blown out. which tells me this may well have been, megyn, a lockerbie-type bombing. we know isis has been very aggressive in pursuing targets in the sinai, egyptians are fighting them on a daily basis. isis has conducted assassinations there. >> tony schafer talking to our own megyn kelly last night. the owner of the metrojet says

technical problems did not cause the crash but say an external impact is likely. russian officials say that is chief of the marlon police department south of dallas. he was working security at a bar over the weekend when he got in a fight with a customer who shot him in the cheek, shattering his jaw. 24-year-old derek campbell is charged with assault. new overnight, prosecutors are appealing to south africa's supreme court to convict oscar pistorius of murder. the 28-year-old gold-winning pa paralympian was released on house arrest after less than a year into his five-year sentence. he was found guilty of manslaughter for killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. if convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison. the san francisco sheriff whose policy is blamed for the death of kate steinley is facing a tough re-election vote today. police say francisco sanchez who had been deported from the united states five times shot kate steinley as she walked along a pier in july.

the sheriff's department has recently released sanchez from jail even though federal immigration officials wanted him detained. just two incumbent sheriffs have lost re-election in san francisco within the last 60 years. we'll follow that story throughout the day. ohio voters decide today whether or not to legalize recreational marijuana, and the move could have the singer nick lachey cashing in big time. ♪ i want you and i feel you ♪ falling underneath my skin >> the former 98 degrees singer is the owner of one of the ten farms that would be allowed to grow the drug. lachey now urging voters to approve the plan. >> it's going to create jobs, reinvigorate our economy and improve the safety of our communities. >> improve safety. all right. well, ohio would become the fifth state to legalize recreational marijuana following alaska, colorado, oregon and washington.

some big changes in the race for the white house with ben carson extending his lead on donald trump and jeb bush trying to prove that he has staying power with a brand-new slogan. kristin fisher following the latest developments for us from washington. good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning, heather. yeah, so the protocol for future republican debates is becoming increasingly uncertain. most of the campaigns are moving forward with their plan to bypass the republican national committee and negotiate directly with the host networks. but trump's campaign now says they're going it alone. quote, as we have for the previous three debates, the trump campaign will continue to negotiate directly with the host network to establish debate criteria that will determine mr. trump's participation. so trump may be leading the charge in that regard, but he's no longer leading the republican field. for the second time in less than two weeks, ben carson is beating tru trump in a national poll. a poll has carson ahead of trump by six points, 29-23. marco rubio's in third with 11%

of the vote. but trump's still on top in new hampshire. a new monmouth university poll gives him a commanding ten-point lead in that state. 26-16 with marco rubio again in third at 13%. one candidate noticeably absent from anywhere near the top of these polls is jeb bush. bush is now trying to reboot his campaign after a less-than-stellar debate performance and the news that some top republican donors are now endorsing his home state rival, marco rubio. yesterday bush even unveiled a new campaign slogan "jeb can fix it." >> we've had a rough couple of weeks. i've got to get better at the performance side of this. but i know i have the skills of leadership to fix these big, complex things and i have a proven record to do it. >> reporter: so bush's campaign said yesterday, you know, look. we acknowledge that comebacks take time. they say they're ready and they're prepared for it. heather? >> kristin fisher, we'll see

what happens next. it is exciting. with trump and carson continuing to dominate the polls, former house speaker newt gingrich says they won't be going away any time soon. >> it's fascinating people say, well, when trump and carson decay, so and so, rubio or whatever, and i keep saying, why are you assuming? that the two guys who have been consistently number one and number two aren't going to be number one and number two? you know, trump's learning. i think he handled this last debate perfectly. he was quieter, which he needed to be. he was willing to let others get some of the applause lines. that was exactly what he had to do at this stage of his candidacy. >> gingrich also says that no one is out of the race just yet because most voters haven't even started to think about the election. well, more controversy could come up in the general election as well, especially if hillary clinton gets the democratic nomination. here's why. her husband, bill clinton, is an

honorary chairman on the commission on presidential debates, and that sets up a potential conflict of interest. now, it's not clear how the former president would function in this role. the other democrats serving as an honorary chair is former president jimmy carter. there are no republican honorary chairmen. well, here's some extreme weather now. brand-new video of an ef-2 tornado. look at this, ripping through a texas neighborhood. ferocious winds slammed this home, pushing all the furniture all over the patio there. >> goodness. as many as 20 tornadoes touching down in texas over the weekend. heavy rains also causing chaos. in alabama, a school in headland reduced to rubble there. maria molina is in the weather center and tracking more of this information for us. good morning. >> good morning. we're tracking the same system responsible for the flash flooding and also those tornadoes reported across those areas like texas and also into parts of mississippi. and you can see that the storm system now bringing in areas of

heavy rain across parts of eastern north carolina and eastern south carolina as well. and that's really where the heavy rain is going to be focused throughout the day today. we do have the risk of seeing more flash flooding out there. so we'll keep a close watch on that. farther west, we have a different storm system. and this one is bringing in some very cold air, some windy conditions with gusts over 30 miles per hour possible and also heavy snowfall. about one on two feet possible in some of the higher elevations across parts of the rockies and also farther west into the great baiten. we have winter storm warnings in effect and winter weather advisories as well. but where we don't have winter weather is across the eastern two-thirds two-thirds. many of you enjoying above-average temperatures. omaha and denver, that cold air arrives by thursday. let's head over to you. >> i can't believe all that snow she's talking about already. 72, though, here in new york. like that. thanks, maria. well, a giant crack in the earth causing concern in wyoming. take a look. many locals calling this the
