>> millions consumed by the record cold. >> i can't feel my fingers. >> 30 states from wisconsin to alabama. >> florida is not the place to escape anymore. look at these temps going out the door. >> are you feeling warm? >> no. feeling cold. >> an arrest in a road rage case after a las vegas mother is dead. they tried to get close to the suspect's house. >> there's the animal. a block away. >> this outbreak is not a threat to the health of the public. >> the fda is warning that the medical instrument linked to the outbreak may be impossible to completely disinfect. >> the announcement that caught even by surprise. a $1.7 billion stadium in los angeles. the chargers and raiders are working together on a proposal. >> back-to-back storm. a cyclone sandwich so rough a shark washed up on the police.

in michigan a car crashed into a police officer. the north korea dictator has given him a new hair cut. whoever did that to him is definitely dead, right? >> danica patrick and denny hamlin in a heated exchange. >> all that matters -- >> we should not be questioning each other's love for america. >> the president has not displayed the kind of love for america that other pretties have displayed. >> that's stooping very, very low even for him. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> a u.n. report says the world can be saved from destruction through veganism. yeah. so that's not happening. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning."

some countries are waking up to it. windchills make it feel below zero from minnesota to kentucky to new england. >> and it's easy to see how cold some of these places are. one boston building look at this, has ike calcicles that are six stories tall. here's a look at the icy hudson river traveling from new jersey to new york city. ita nair shows us how people are getting around. >> reporter: the temperatures in a record low not seen for years. cold enough to freeze over. not cold enough for tourists to see the rare sight. >> everyone said it was frozen.

i had to see for myself. you see how it is. beautiful. >> reporter: in massachusetts beauty took a back seat as falling ice caused a small gas explosion at a facility housing alzheimer's patients. several apartments were damaged by the blast but no one was hurt. not far from there rescuers were able to save a man and two dogs who nearly drowned after getting stuck in an icy marsh. with windchills expected to drop to minus 4 in some places some people are beginning to feel a toll of this cold snap. >> it hasn't been above for a while. >> there's no way. it's all the way across. >> reporter: across the jersey shore officials are flooded with calls for icey pups and bursts pipes. still the extreme weather hasn't stopped some people in new york from staying positive. >> it's still worth living here. there's nothing like living

here. it's only a few months and before you know it's springtime. >> that was vinita nair reporting. this freezing weather is blamed for at least 19 deaths in the past week. many of them happened in tennessee where the cold has been relentless. cuthbert langley of cbs affiliate wcbs is in tennessee. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. while you're not seeing the large piles of snow you expect to see whenever we're talking about winter weather, here's where you can see the large piles of ice are still covering the roads and the sidewalks. in fact, you can see how thick this chunk of ice is here. tennessee is expecting more precipitation coming through this afternoon and for the second time this week an ice storm warning is expected. crews are out again this morning ahead of the storm, clearing and saltinging the roads. some parts of the state could see 4 inches of snow. but the biggest concern is the amount of ice we could see throughout the day especially

with the freezing temperatures and the timing of the storm is key. while officials say folks could be able to get to work this morning, the drive home could be a completely different story. those temperatures here have not been above freezing for almost a week straight and nearly 6,000 people are without power still this morning. to put it lightly, it's been a long few days. and as you mentioned, those freezing temperatures coupled with the power outages have been blamed for 11 deaths across the state of tennessee with hypothermia being the cause for six of those deaths. gayle? >> got it. cuthbert langley. one of the best names on the show. this relentless cold is freezing the great lakes. this morning 98% of lake erie is covered by ice and that does not happen very often. dean reynolds is in chicago where winter is causing its own lake effect. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well it's lake michigan right behind me here.

it's about 60% frozen over. they say it's going to be in the 20s here later today, which would be practically tropical when you consider that yesterday we didn't break 7 degrees. subzero windchills here in chicago are making it hard to walk work or do just about anything outside. >> i'm 55 years old. i never felt a february like this in my life. >> reporter: officials from aaa spent much of the day dealing with congestion out on the roads. >> we're very busy throughout the midwest all because of the cold. >> reporter: the brutal weather is being blamed for dozens of accidents. >> assist to covert in a multi-vehicle accident. >> reporter: two people were safely pulled from this car after it crumbled beneath a semi in michigan. in chicago lake michigan started to look more like the arctic sea. >> it's not exactly jam-packed. >> reporter: for justin

baumgartner, a manager at chicago's millennium park ice rink this moved at a slow pace. many people here in the midwest are accustomed to the chilly february temperatures. >> i've got two hats two scarves, three sweatshirts, long johns, and my jeans. >> reporter: and share the same attitude. >> got to deal with it, you know. spring's coming. >> reporter: now, the cold weather has created some winter fashion statements. this one is one of my personal favorites. kind of a cross between nanook of the north and yosemite sam. what do you think, charlie? >> i think it works for you. >> what a beautiful shot of the sun. >> dean looks good. . good morning. >> good morning. why don't we get right to the

idea of exactly what's going on. we hear subzero windchills out there. it's all about getting this arctic air into the eastern half of the country. you do that. it's the jet stream. when you get the big ridge in the jet stream think about this. the iditarod in alaska not enough snow. had to mievt to fairbanks. then in eastern u.s. from maine all the way to california we have windchill advisories windchill warnings. i'm talking anywhere east of the mississippi and there's a hard freeze warning. you're below freezing in west palm beach florida. we'll be establishing records for this date all around the country. new york city, we're at 2 degrees. it will drop to one. atlanta, 16 charlotte, 13. then it's about the weekend storm that's going to develop. five weeks in a row now we've had some kind of a storm on the

eastern coast of the united states. starts off as snow on saturday because it's so cold out there. but look at this. it turns to rain. even for a place like boston too warm for snow on sunday. back over to you. >> wow. lonnie thanks so much. this morning the fda is warning doctors about the medical devices behind the super bug. omar villafranca is there as doctors stress there is no threat to the public. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. this is the type of tee advice that's causing all the problems. it's an endoscope similar to ones in hospitals that might carry the bacteria. this goes down a patient's throat through their stomach to look at the small intestine. there's a tiny camera at the end and a moveable part right there so doctors can manipulate a catheter. the tubing itself can move left

and right and it's all of these moving parts that make sterilizing so difficult. >> we're very sorry about some of the anxiety and concern that the situation has posed for our patients as well as our community. >> reporter: exposure to the so-called super bug called cre happened between october and january while doctors were using two medical devices called endoscopes that might not have been properly cleaned. >> what we really have to do is really meticulously go through the patient charts and ensure that they were, indeed exposed. >> reporter: these types of scopes are a common medical tool that doctors use to inspect a patient's digestive track. the doctor detects it after each use. it's not easy to sterilize. >> any of these organism they can grow up in moist that remains in the scope overnight and becomes millions to billions of organisms by the next

morning. >> reporter: one infected high school student has spent months in the hospital fighting the bug. the lawyer does not blame the hospital. they changed the device last year without changing its cleaning protocol. >> a change you can market to doctors that look what we've dub, now it is easy to use. too often they overlook the next step which is ensuring that the device is not dangerous. >> reporter: now, olympus who provides the endoscopes said they're working with fda and our customers regarding their concern. that's what the company said. >> omar thanks. >> this morning iraqi troops are making plans to take back the largest city held by isis in iraq. they'll be part of a spring offensive to retake mosul. the city fell to isil in june. holly williams is in istanbul

with a question as to whether some iraqi soldiers will be ready for the fight. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we were told a spring offensive on mosul is simply unrealistic. some say the earliest they could be ready is in the fall. an american military official says 10,000 iraqi soldiers have gone through training with the u.s. and its coalition partners and they'll push on isis this spring. backed by u.s.-led air strikes. just outside of mosul, another 3,000 men, mostly policemen, are being trained to help retake iraq's second largest city. but very few have any fighting experience, and they told us they're still short of weapons. also involved will be the kurdish soldiers.

from a hilltop overlooking mosul in october they showed us territory they clawed back from the extremists. but members of an ethnic minority, kurdish fighters will be considered foreign invaders if they try to recapture mosul alone and this month their commanders told us they're still massively outgunned by isis. what kind of equipment does isis have that you lack? >> isis seized weapons from both syria and the iraqi army so we're talking about at least 1,500 humvees, we're talking about 155 howitzer american, we're talking about armored vehicles. we're talking about tanks, heavy machine guns loads of ammunition. >> reporter: if this mosul offensive does go ahead in the spring it's not clear whether

it will involve u.s. military advisers already on the ground in iraq. charlie? >> holly, thanks. they're calling on social media sites to take more responsibility in the battle against isis. that's in our next half hour. two trains collided overnight in switzerland leaving at least five passengers injured. it happened in a small town 20 miles north of zurich. witnesses say a high-speed train crashed into the side of a commuter train. that forced cars right off the track. the passenger train had just left the station. it's not clear why the accident happened. in las vegas a suspected road rage killer is in custody after a two-hour standoff. it's reported that the mom and the shooter knew each other. the s.w.a.t. team surrounded his mother's home and demanded his surrender.

police believe nowsch fired the gun that killed tammy meyers mother of four. but we're told he's not alone. >> we have one more suspect to locate. >> reporter: nowsch and meyers were neighbors. their houses were a block apart. nowsch's mother arrived in the middle of the standoff. >> there's the animal a block away. >> reporter: meyers' husband robert also lashed out on the reporters on the scene. it happened last thursday night when meyers was giving her daughter a driving lesson. he became angry after crystal honked the horn at him. tammy drove her daughter home and took off hwith her 22-year-old son who was armed with a gun.

she was drytrying to draw the suspect away from her house. >> she was trying to protect me. that's all she was doing. >> reporter: when they returned the shooter struck tammy meyers in the head. >> i did what i had to do to protect my family. everyone can thing what they think. i did it for a reason. >> reporter: now his media account showed him with marijuana. meyers wife tried to help him. >> she fed him, gave him money, told him to pull his pants up, and be a man. >> reporter: meyers died two days later after being taken off life support. closing argument could come today in the american sniper trial in texas. the defense rested their case yesterday. psychiatrists testified that routh thought he was protecting himself when he killed navy s.e.a.l. chris kyle and kyle's friend. he told the jury that mental illness prevented him from

knowing what he did was wrong. prosecutors dispute that. they plan to call rebuttal witnesses today. this morning two nfl teams say they may go there. the san diego chargers and oakland raiders plan to build a stadium to share the l.a. area. it would cost $1.7 being. the teams say they would move only if they could not get stadiums in their own cities. the raiders played there from 1984 to '94. >> here in new york we know sharing stadiums work. it would be nice to have something in l.a. australia is cleaning up after a pair of ferocious cyclones blasted parts of the country early today. winds of up to 180 miles an hour destroyed dozens of homes. the storms brought down trees and power lines and thousands are still without electricity this hour, but that did not stop some surfers from taking on the massive waves taken by the twin systems. australians call them a cyclone

best picture, which is the tightest race i can recall in the 20 years i've been following the oscars very closely. if i had to make a prediction right now, i think "boyhood" is going to win, although a lot of people are saying "birdman" is going to win. they're two very very different films. "boyhood" was the favorite. two weeks ago at the british version of the oscars it almost got completely shut out. it only one wonwon one award. the oscars a bit of an older voting body so i wonder if "birdman" is going to be too cool or too edgy for them in which case they'll vote for "boyhood," but it's close guys. >> what about "american sniper?" >> it's been the most exciting thing to happen and we now have bag block bust never the race. i don't think it's going to win many of the major categories it's nominated for.

it could be nominated edd in the sound category. but i don't see it really challenging "boyhood "or "birdman." >> i'm still keeping hope alive with "selma." >> "selma's" going to win for best snoong i think so too. >> it seems between eddie and michael keaton. which way are you leaning? >> i'm leaning toward eddie redmayne. that's going to tug at the oscars heartstrings a little more. if they want to go for at achievement of things, they'll go to michael keaton. if he wins, he's the second oldest best actor winner ever which is strarmg to think because he looks so good. >> how old is he? >> he's about 63. and henry fonda is the oldest one. >> what about best actress. >>? that's a sure thing.

"grand budapest hotel" came out in march and they had not begun filming "still al alice." >> beth director? >> between richard linklater for "boyhood" and "birdman." i think it's richard linklater but that one's too close to call. i could be wrong on that one. >> we'll all find out on sunday night starting with the red carpet show. charlie, can't wait for that, who's wearing what. that's so you, isn't it? >> my first red carpet. >> yes. my tongue firmly in my teeth. dave, always good to see you. thank you. malcolm x shared an interview with legendary mike

equality by any means necessary. >> your father's message do you feel it's been misinterpreted over the years? >> oh, sure. however, they do him a disservice, an injustice when they excerpt him and redefine him in their ways. >> here in harlem malcolm was the voice of black frustration. >> has integration solved the problem or made it worse? >> angry over poverty, police brutality, and segregation. critics label him as -- >> to lift the struggle for flee dom of the negro in this country from the level of civil rights to the level of human rights. >> that's what he told a young cbs reporter named mike wallace who was in search of the true malcolm x in search of the message and the man. >> white people don't realize how frustrated negroes have become. >> but they're also of the

opinion that no good can possibly come from violence. >> if they are of that opinion, mike, if you think that the pilot light in your house is going to explode under certain excisions, either you have to remove the powder cake or remove the conditions. >> his message was deeply tied to the circumstances of his own life. as a youth, his father's murder left him hardened and angry. at age 20 malcolm went to prison for larceny. it was there he grew to ament movement. he converted to islam. >> go find out who burned the church in birmingham alabama. >> reporter: in his 30s he went through yet another transformation. after a trip to mecca in 1964 he publicly embraced working with anyone who was willing to work with him. >> you have changed your attitude about the white man in the united states to some extent. >> i have broadened my scope. it givens you a wider understanding.

>> he reviled all of this to wallace who throughout his life remained close to malcolm's family. >> they were brethren cared for each other off record despite profession. when they met, they realized that they had much more in common and people publicly would have never imagined or presumed so. >> reporter: when malcolm broke away from islam -- >> i want you to know my house was bombed, bombed by the black muslim movement. >> reporter: it earned him many enemies. >> are you not afraid of what may happen to you as a result of these accusations? >> oh yes. i'm probably a dead man already. >> reporter: and then it happened. three mens of islam shot him while he was giving a speech in manhattan's ballroom. he wasn't just 39 years old. >> there are few of white house get to call upon each other and experience what we've inhair itted in terms of leading our

relative legacies and also the ache in their absence. >> reporter: while he predicted his own death, he could not have for sene how his vision would have played out or that america might see their first black president. >> men and women were most certain to see a black president. i think thatting tight 40 years is the crime. so the question becomes not those who have been marginalized but those who are in a position to do better do more. whether we made it. >> these are the questions she never stopped asking. >> do you still have conversations with your daughter? >> all the time. all the time. look, you can't be that potent and then be gone. >> wow. >> this relationship between mike and malcolm x was really amazing because malcolm x -- mike took him to a dinner with the ceo of seagrams a leading
