a lot of talk and people love to play up the big snow events. >> reporter: so that's the mentality officials are up against, telling people not to go out and travel unless absolutely necessary because travel kigs are not gooded. roads of slick despite snow plows going through them and with more snow on the way, visibility will be an issue and they don't want people stranded, in spinouts in crashes which have already been reported. >> important warning. bill karins, time it out. when does the worst arrive? >> starting now. freezing rain, areas of snow and blowing and drifting snow. highways closed. waiting if there are tornadoes out of this system, too. line of storms over st. louis currently. tornado watch in affect until 6:00 central standard time. not reported yet. 15 minutes, st. louis gets the

as these offensive take hold i think the differences maybe become more vivid. perhaps most profoundly over the issue of crimea with the west feeling that may be practically impossible for the ukrainians while many ukrainians fees the glue holding them together is a notion ukraine is fighting to take back not some of its territory from russia but all of its territory. >> you spent so much time in ukraine over the last year. what's the mood now after the visit by president biden? >> reporter: the mood is good. cynthia, people here feel like they have a spring in their step. they saw what the russians could throw at them last year and now they're on the offensive again, the russians, but much different than a year ago. soon to let that one-year anniversary, in the country when russia attacked. a massive offensive, tried to topple the country, the government in a matter of days

and it failed. now trying again with a new push mostly out here in the east and in the south, but the russians are struggling, and the ukrainian defenses are holding, and just earlier today the head of ukrainian intelligence said, that the new russian offensive is so poorly executed, and that some frontline commanders don't even know that it's happening. >> hmm. >> all right. richard engel for us. josh lederman as well. thank you both. fallout from the toxic train derailment in ohio is spilling over into high stakes political game blaming. the white house saying rail companies longtime resistance to safety regulations led to the disaster. norfolk southern's ceo says he's pledging millions of dollars in support and will work with the government to clean up the mess. former president donald trump is visiting today. transportation secretary pete buttigieg visits tomorrow the

air tests are coming back clean and in fact that and can get back to their lives. a lot of doubt about that. a lot of doubt about the long-term impacts of all of this on this community. something a resident said we spoke to a few minutes ago. take listen. >> i feel like east palestine will slyly wither away, students leave town. lose our tax revenue here in town. this is a good town. a low crime rate. cheap to live here. everybody loves each other, everybody is compassionate about each other, support each other and i feel rear going to lose that. >> reporter: again today officials here trying to reassure the public that the environment is safe, and that testing will continue. >> ron allen, our thanks for your continued reporting on this important story. big tech is once again under the microscope as the supreme court today justices heard a new case whether twitter can be sued for aiding and abetting the

catie, heard from one of alex murdaugh's former law partners. take us through his testimony, if you would? >> reporter: a double sword. pointing out sloppy nature of the investigation and things no the collected at the crime scene, area not roped off and people and friends walking around while they should have been carefully processing the evidence. but on the flip side of that on cross-examination, prosecutors asked about the financial, alleged financial crimes that happened at the law firm and this friend and, really close colleague of alex murdaugh discovering that information during that testimony says it made him question whether he ever actually knew alex murdaugh saying the alex i knew would have never done this and when we learned what he had been doing with these clients and the damage doing to the reputation of our law firm made me question whether i actually knew him at all pap defense witness with an impact for prosecutors as well.

images shown in court today, but they provoked a lot of emotions and tears because of the gruesome images saw. heard testimony from one of the first responders on scene night of the shooting describing photos pointing out shell casings littered around the victims bodies in club q that night. people in the courtroom gasping, some tears heard. also saw the suspect who is in court visibly shaking as they watched that video. also heard from a detective who's been investigating the crime scene and the suspect's apartment after the fact finding parts of an ar-style rifle, shooting target and rough sketch of club q's layout. this hearing expected to go on several days and the judge deciding whether to drop some of the charges against the suspect or drop some as the trial moves forward. >> you've reported aldrich attorney say their client

identifies as nonbinary. how could that affect this case? >> reporter: one of the counts, several counts in these charges against the suspect involve bias motivated crimes, hate crimes. when i was on the ground in colorado covers the aftermath of the shooting in november we learned from a neighbor close to the suspect several times in interactions playing video games he heard aldrich use anti-lgbtq slurs, homophobic slur, and never heard aldrich express their pronoun preference. so this is something legal experts questioned whether it's a defense strategy, but definitely call into question during the trial what the exact motive is and why the suspect decided to enter the club that night and cause the terrible chaos we saw and loss of life especially because club q in that community was known as a safe space for the lgbtq community. >> thank you, from los angeles.

sexual cyber violence, online stalking or repeated messages threatening sexual assault to kids during the pandemic. guys? >> what can parents do to help young girls? i'm interested in conversations with young men as well. >> you know what? this conversations can take the exact same form. first of all, don't ignore the problem. talk to teenagers. experts say the more up front, honest we can be with our teenagers the better.receptive. start as early as possible using age-appropriate language, of course. keep the conversations going as kids grow up. and as a parent i can tell you kids do not like to be lectured. ask questions and really listen to their answers. above all, stay strong, as positive as you can. kids need to know they have an advocate in their corner who's going to support them. >> important story. thank you. this hour breaking down what

parents should and not do on social media. >> a recent poll 57% of paints say at least sometimes they check on what their teen is doing on social media. >> i would say me and my dad, on social media a lot more than my mom, does have, like, kind of an unspoken agreement he doesn't, like, comment on my posts. >> i would not like my parents to follow me and make it clear that i am their child. >> okay. ooh. here with us now, the executive editor of "she knows" a site for moms. all right. let's listen to -- let's listen to a little bit more what teens told your site about their parents being on social media. >> right. >> i love my parents, but the number one pet peeve of mine is them tagging me in ugly pictures on social media. >> if your parent is getting something, being a helicopter parent constantly monitoring you, that's not okay.

>> kids say not okay. is it okay? please, say yes. >> here's what we took, three main takeaways from our conversations and these teens telling us exactly what parents should and shouldn't be doing on their own social media accounts. first of all, they don't want parents posting embarrassing old photos of them and certainly not tagging them. i think many of us parents already know that we should ask if we're posting a current photo e goes kids, but the s to the cute baby photos we love so much. a second takeaway we got was, they really don't want you commenting on their posts. even if it's something you think is harmless. like an lol. that's not good. they also don't want you saying anything like, oh, i'm so proud of you. >> wow. >> say tell us in-person on our feed it's embarrassing. >> what can you do? good things that, good practices for parents on social media? >> i think the biggest takeaway

of what parents should do we took from the segment was really to ask what they want. have a conversation with them. you know, teen doss not want to be embarrassed by their parents online, but what one teen thinks is embarrassing another teen might not. my teen might not want me to like an instagram post. someone else's teen might not want them to comment on that instagram post. so i think it starts with having a conversation. >> talk to parents who feel the constance need to be checking on their kids' account? >> i understand that. >> us parents -- >> our teens don't want their parents lurking. i think one of the best things that we gleaned from what our teens in this video told us, sort of be a presence but not a known presence. >> there's the advice. >> hmm. wow. >> do with it what you will. right? >> from their point of view. >> i was going to say. >> we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you so much. more news ahead.
