debate for sure. let me switch gears. you'll be talking about terror on this show this morning. can you give us a sense of what is coming up? >> we'll delve into where the sleeper cells that alex talked about where coming from and where they're headed. we have a lot of great guests this morning. >> martha, thank you. just a reminder for everybody. martha has a packed show this morning with the latest on the anti-terror raids going on across europe. that's on "this week." this morning right here on abc. and join chief anchor george stephanopoulos and the powerhouse abc news political team on tuesday night at 9:00 eastern for the state of the union address and the republican response. now let's bring in ron claiborne for the other stories. >> good morning to you, paula and dan. sara. good morning, everyone. we begin with terrifying moments aboard a jetblue flight that nearly collided with another jetliner just before takeoff at kennedy airport here in new york city. passengers arrived in austin, texas, safely.

hours ago, the pilot told those passengers they almost crashed into a caribbean airliner that somehow crossed right in front of the jetblue flight. >> we were heading full-speed down the runway. the plane came to a screeching stop and slid a little bit. everyone panicked. >> all of a sudden, when it was time, he started gearing up, going fast. and then all of a -- i mean, like it was crazy. brakes went on. slammed on. >> luckily, no one on board either of the flights was injured. and pope francis is celebrating sunday mass among a huge crowd in the philippines. despite steady rain, an estimated 6 million people turned out for the mass. and along the motor cade route. the crowd is believed to be the largest ever for a papal nd appearance, eclipsing the 5 million that saw pope john paul in the same park in manila in the philippines in 1995. this was the final leg of pope francis' six-day pilgrimage to asia.

stars david oyelowo and common. in an interview with our robin roberts, oprah speaks about the timing of this film. >> i think that all the people who are protesting now could benefit. you can't just be marching without an intention. you got to have a clear, strategic intention of what it is you want to accomplish. and you cannot be heard unless you come in peace. that was the power of that movement. >> we're not asking, we're demanding give us the vote! >> it's about a community that came together for what was right. i think that -- it speaks so beautifully to this cultural moment that we're in. >> reporter: yet, with the national conversation focusing on race, many in hollywood claiming "selma" didn't get the recognition it deserved when it came to oscar nomination. the hashtag #oscarssowhite now trending. though the film did land two nominations. best picture and best original

song. david oyelowo's depiction of dr. martin luther king jr. was left out of the best actor category. >> i say that we live to fight another day. and i'm so, so proud of our film. >> reporter: ava duvernay, the film's director, was always left out. selma was nominated in every major category at last week end's golden globes. it only won one award, for song. this song "glory" by john legend and common who also stars in the song. >> common has a good streak going. he's on a show on amc. apparently, he does a great job in this movie. i'm dieing to see it. has anybody seen it? >> ron has seen it. >> it is fabulous. i don't know how it could be nominated for best picture without ava duvernay getting a nomination for best director. doesn't make sense to me. >> or best actor. >> he's great.

swift. >> who are you going for? >> this is tough. >> you gotta go with green bay. >> you like cheese. >> it's the midwest. i think the idea of this would be a big deal if they were defending and able to go back and win again. >> seattle? >> i'm torn. i'll go midwest on this. >> tom brady and the patriots have won enough. enough already. enough. >> he's won three times. >> stop this. >> ron claiborne's twitter feed is going to be a hate fest. >> put an end to this, please. >> people from boston. >> ron, are you hungry? >> i'm hangry. >> nasty weather today, right rob? let's get over to weather. go, new england patriots. >> i hate to admit i'm agreeing with ron on this. we're on the same -- go seattle. come on, baby. go seahawks. seattle and green bay. two cities rabid about their teams. it will be a battle today, no doubt. we'll start with the afc championship.
