luckily the reporter and the photographer were inside the truck getting warm. i was wondering as i watched this video why the cameraman didn't move. now we know the camera's online. very incredible. welcome back to cbs "this morning," there's a lot of slipping and sliding in much of the u.s. right now. latest snow and ice storm is causing havoc from new england to the south. tara lynn of our affiliate is in rocky mountain north carolina 60 miles east of raleigh. tara, good morning. >> reporter: that's right, and this is not something we usually have to deal with here in the south. at least not this much.
7:31 am
and we have had so much ice that has been, you know falling overnight along with freezing rain, while there hasn't been much snow, here's the issue. all of this is compacted, it is hard even for the drivers trying to make their way into work they have to report to work. those icy conditions on the road are what the big concern is this morning. and now, many people also without power, more than 100,000 people without power this morning. all of north carolina remains under a state of emergency. and schools, hundreds of schools are closed throughout the state. people are being warned to stay inside and off the roads. snow crews are out, they are trying to break through this ice, and they are armed with get this 1.3 million gallons of sand and salt. just since yesterday, state high school officials responded to more than 1,000 accidents. many drivers ended up having to turn around because they simply could not make their way to their destination. now it's only going to get worse because as you can see, we still have a little bit more freezing
7:32 am
rain that is falling right now. we don't expect the sun to come out today, and temperatures are only going to hoover around the freezing mark. all of this ice is not going anywhere any time soon. charlie. >> tara thanks. time to show you the headlines, "washington post" says pope francis condemned the beheadings of 21 christians by isis. he called the victims martyrs. he called for the unity of all christians. he said quote, it makes no difference whether they're catholics, orthodoxes or proved substantiates. the st. louis post dispatch has new video of a police officer who's heard giving a controversial warning to his fellow officers. the dash cam is rolling during an arrest that some call abusive. >> hold up. hold up, everybody, hold up. we required right now, if you're worried about cameras, just wait. >> the camera is then shut off.

please. and lance armstrong faces another huge blow. he's being ordered to pay $10 million to fca promotions they paid him from bonuses from winning the tour de france. he conducted an unparallel pageant of perjury, fraud, and conspiracy conspiracy. rikki klieman is with us. >> we have to look at how this whole thing started. otherwise, we can't figure out what's happening here. at some point, fca promotions which was giving lance armstrong bonuses for winning his tour de france rides says around 2004 listen, we don't really think that you're doing this on the level that you really must be doping. they don't pay him his bonus for 2004. lance armstrong goes to court, he sues sca promoexs he says i
7:35 am
want my money. you breached my contract. case goes into arbitration, sca promotion can't prove he's doping. they enter into a voluntary settlement agreement. and that's what became the time for lance armstrong to get a lot of money. $7.5 million. eventually we know it turns out that lance was doping, and at that point he confesses on oprah. the doping agency says you were really a bad boy, and so sca promotions says okay we want to do something and get money back. >> that's the question how unusual is it to reopen something that's unsettled. >> you have language in this settlement and in most other settlements that's very clear. it is final. you cannot appeal. you cannot reopen, it is done. two parties voluntarily, no matter who lied, no matter who was fibbing entered into an
7:36 am
agreement. so the idea that today, what happens is that an arbitration panel goes back goes back nine years, and reopens a settlement agreement. doesn't give an award to sca, it says lance, you've been a bad boy. >> what about the future of settlements, you settle to make things end? >> and that's part of the problem which is why, of course, lance armstrong's lawyers say they're going to go to court and they are going to go to court to say, the arbitration panel could not do this. this is a sanction it's not even an award. what happens is the arbitratore eror is so angry about this plethora of perjury of statements that they sanctioned him $10 million. >> this is just part of the legal problems. >> part of the legal problems. he has suits going to the point of fraud. for $100 million. we don't know what his net worth is. how is he going to deal? he's had lawyers across the
7:37 am
country in three time zones going to defend his problems. this is a man who had everything, and may wind up with nothing. >> all right. do you have something else? >> no. >> thank you. >> oh okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. rikki klieman, thank you. mourning the loss of lesley gore who died yesterday. ♪ "it's my party" turned lesley gore in 1963. followed by "you don't own me" became a femme nis anthem. she was 68 years old. it's what one lawyer calls the legal way to drop your dui check points.
