is great. little more time to clean things up here before the morning rush is over. meanwhile, outside we go, definitely done well, in rehoboth, and many of locations here in southern delaware, southern new jersey, really where we ended one some of the highest totals as was expected. meanwhile the morning snow is going to be drawing to a close, and by this afternoon really just left with some clouds, 28 degrees our expected hi, feeling oddly enough milder than yesterday did. partly cloudy still cold tonight drop it down to 19. then by tomorrow another fresh shot of arctic cold coming. we will hit 30 before it gets here some some flurry perhaps snow showers move in later in the day but more than nick, we bottom out again into the teens on thursday, and friday. we want a check on how things are looking out there right now, thoughment we toss it out to meteorologist justin drabick, out with the cbs-3 mobile weather lab hey justin. >> hey, in dover delaware right now, this is ukee's territory, i think i just saw your dad ukee everything all

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 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. the footage cuts out for more

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 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 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 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. ahead the loophole that requires only a piece of paper to avoid

too. >> yeah. >> matthew, you're coming back to tv in front of a live audience, you've done other things that didn't work out as well -- >> what are you saying? what are you saying? >> i don't want to mention any names, but listen -- >> long list. >> but the truth of the matter is, you're back and it's a live audience. much like "friends" was. >> exciting. i haven't done it in ten years. you find when the audience is there, you juice up your performance and you really i'm much better in front of an audience audience, i like hamming it up for an audience. >> instant reaction. >> instant reaction. i was just about to say that. you get to find out right away if a joke works or doesn't works. if it doesn't, they fix it. >> one time or a couple times and take the best? >> you preshoot stuff on mondays, and then you do the show on tuesdays. but mostly they take from the show you do on tuesday. performances are so much better because of the people there. >> right. >> one of the people you get to work with is lauren graham

friend and ex-girlfriend. how's that? >> it's great. we've dated a long time ago and have been friends far very long time. and she plays my ex-wife. and it's the heart of the oscar -- >> that's comedy right there. >> yeah, yeah. the heart of oscar, he womanizes and drinks and gambles, but he longs for the love of his ex-wife. so we were really lucky to get lauren. >> well thanks to netflix and cable, "friends' very much alive. >> yes, thank you for showing me in a bunny suit. >> you're welcome. some people become famous with a role, and don't talk to me about it, don't talk to me about it. where does "friends" sit with you? >> it's great. wonderful. >> people come up to me now the show's on netflix. people come up i know were not born while we shot the show for sure and they're just surprised how elderly i look. >> do they want a reunion? >> they do. everybody does.

and that's that's a sort of thing that comes up the most. and there's been no talk of that. it's difficult to get the six of us to get together to have dinner, much less -- >> would you be interested in it if there was a way for it to happen? do you think look, that was then, this is now? >> i think if the stories were told. we did 237 episodes and sort of finished the thing. we do little mini reunions like courtney was on "go on." and cougar town and web therapy with lisa which was fun. we do like little versions of it. but i don't know that the six of us will get together. >> let's talk about you, matthew. i love that you've been so open about your substance abuse. and extended a line to people who have issues with your perry house. what do you think is the biggest miss misconception? >> people don't understand it's a disease. that's what it's a disease. it was declared a disease in 1955 by the american medical association. and even people who are in trouble with this thing don't

kind of realize that they are suffering from a disease. >> uh-huh. >> that sort of blame themselves. and it's important to get it out there and not have it be a secret and so you can get the help that you need. >> and you're in a good place? >> good place. yes. >> he's on cbs, he's on a great place. >> i think that's what you meant. >> i don't think so. >> no, yes, i'm in a good place. >> but if in fact -- >> i was talking about his love life though actually. >> you were? >> i was. >> gayle asked. >> i don't know anything about that. >> me either. i just always like people to be happy, that's all. >> i'm happy. >> go ahead. >> you have a question. >> go ahead, charlie. >> are you happy? >> i thought you were going say, who am i dating. >> yes. >> who are you dating. >> i'm dating happy. >> how is she? >> she's great. >> yes, i've heard she's very pretty matthew perry. >> happy. >> we're so happy, we're so glad you're on tv. >> me too.
