cbs this morning is coming up next talking about a possible ninth planet. >> changes to macy's are department stores going to go away. we'll have to wait and see. have captioning funded by cbs good morning. it is thursday, january 21st, 2016. welcome to "cbs this morning." a monster storm threatens millions with heavy snow. but already washington, d.c. is paralyzed by just an inch. >> breaking news. russian president vladimir putin is implicated in the poisoning death of a former spy. >> are your donation to support veterans or politicians reaching the people you want to help? cbs news investigates. we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener."

we got snow on top of the ice. you start sliding. you can't get it going any more. >> yep. that's is the road. >> very trous. the presidential motorcade slipped on snow-covered roads. >> we have a full fledged snowstorm developing so 1 to 2 feet total here in this area in blue. >> our candidate is ballsy enough to get out there and put those issues on the table! >> sarah palin is heading the trail with donald trump. >> we are going to have win after win after win. you people are going to get sick and tired of winning! >> struggling in new hampshire. hillary clinton using an image of trump's and palin hoping to fire up her supporters. >> british judge says vladimir putin probably played a role in the killing of a russian spy ten years ago. >> anger over the water crisis in michigan is showing no signs of easing. >> a full accounting needs to

>> the world financial markets, falling oil prices bring stacks down. the dow fell more than 550 points. >> history made in the nfl. buffalo bills have hired kathryn smith, the first female full-time kobe koch. >> all that. >> the unique way of playing basketball. a ball bounced off his face. >> valentine's day is coming up. white castle is taking reservation. >> perfect way to sell the person you love that you don't. >> all that matters. >> she is going to issue a pardon and she is going to pardon herself. >> republicans taking him at hillary clinton over e-mails. >> you notice how positive she is about the president? because she wants to stay out of the krink, that's why. >> trump admitted has given me so much material to make jokes about.

material girl! announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places! welcome to "cbs this morning." a major winter storm threatens to wallop millions in the east with blizzard conditions. heavy snow will start falling tonight. washington, d.c. could see up to two feet. philadelphia, new york, and boston will also be hit. >> the nation's capital and nearby areas got a preview last night about an inch of snow caught people off-guard, causing cars to slide in the snow. the gridlock continues this morning. drivers are stuck in backups and caused by those icy conditions and kris van cleave is on the national mall with the outlook of the next big punch. >> reporter: good morning. some people spent six, even eight hours in their cars and others stuck overnight and had to sleep in their cars. this as we are waiting up to two feet to come to the national

all it took last night was about, oh, an eighth tenth of an inch of snow to paralyze the region. car crashes. slick streets. and crowded roads. made driving nearly impossible in washington, d.c. last night. gridlocking roads until after midnight. more than 160 accidents in the area turned the nation's capital into a mess. >> i thought that i was going to make it up the hill and then i realized a lot of other people thought the same thing, and here we are. >> reporter: cars that weren't sliding, were left stranded. >> that's the road. there are people stuck everywhere. >> reporter: less than an inch and a half of snow was enough to turn quick commutes into marathon trips to nowhere. >> as you can see, they didn't treat the roads and this is what i'm dealing with.

brought to a standstill as frustrated drivers were angry. the region was unprepared for light snow! >> the traffic, i've been in traffic three hours to get home. ridiculous. i don't understand why they didn't prepare. >> it's been like this for about an hour now. >> reporter: even president obama couldn't escape the severe weather. his motorcade skidded and slogged its way through traffic along with the rest of d.c. commuters. the mayor's office admitted this storm, before the storm, caught the district off-guard. late last night, the city launched an additional 100 salt trucks to help clear roads. school districts across the region are either delayed or canceled morning. d.c.'s mayor is expected at a press conference to talk about storm preparations later today. you can bet she is going to get some tough questions. >> we feel your pain there. thank you, kris. snow and freezing rain in tennessee created icy roads. police responded to several

yesterday. drivers were stuck with their wheels spinning in cunning kentucky. plows are busy after several inches of snow fell there. school is closed and kids like that. more snow is on the way. lonnie quick, our meteorologist -- lonnie quick. >> i will be quick! >> all right, mr. quinn! >>. >> now i'm down to 45 seconds for this cap. let's get to the watches and warnings. a wig swath from arkansas all the way into new jersey and look at this. a blizzard watch in effect for the d.c. area. also for new york city out to long island. storm right now, just not very impressive looking but, today, is the key day in the formation of this storm because, today is the day it drops down to the gulf of mexico and gathers that moisture and pushes up to the northeast. now, you got to be careful in north carolina because if this pushes through it's going to be

then turns to snow as it goes further to the north. snowfall totals are still pretty darn impressive with this thing. i think the bull's-eye is washington, d.c. you can see a foot of snow outside of new york city into portions of virginia and west virginia and the bull's-eye, again, with a foot to two feet of snow and maybe more than that around washington, d.c. into virginia and into west virginia. i don't know if there is a rivalry between the university of virginia and charlottesville. >> the latest presidential poll finds donald trump's main rival is gaining support in new hampshire. trump holds a commanding 20-point lead over the field but the poll shows ted cruz is now in second place. he has moved ahead of jeb bush and marco rubio who is tied for third. major garrett in washington is following the top gop candidates. >> reporter: good morning. let's talk about the republican machine you've heard so much about. it's sputtering. how do we know?

continue to dominate the gop race. to stay ahead, both have to ridicule the establishment, the machine at every turn. but, lately, these lines are blurring and that means cruz must denounce anyone who backs trump as an establishment toty. anyone that is, not named sarah palin. >> even today, the gop machine, they are attacking their own front-runner. >> reporter: sarah palin hit the road with donald trump on wednesday aiming to fortify the front-runner's conservative credential. >> our candidate is ballsy enough to get out there and put those issues on the table! >> reporter: each as palin soaked up cheers and pulse that she spoke openly about pain within her family. >> guess it's kind of an elephant in the room. >> reporter: palin's oldest son track, an iraq war veteran, was arrested on domestic violence and weapons charges earlier this week. palin linked the assault to post-traumatic stress and used the moment to take a shot at president obama.

they come back a bit different. they come back hardened. it starts from the top. the question, though, that comes from our own president, where they have to look at him and wonder do you know what we go through? >> reporter: republican elder statesmen bob dole, the 1996 presidential nominee, also signaled a preference for trump, especially if the only other alternative was cruz. i question his allegiance to the party, dole said about cruz. nobody likes him. cruz dismissed dole's comments as establishment criticism. >> hello, everybody. wow! >> reporter: a sign they are ditching other candidates for trump. >> right now, the washington establishment is abandoning marco rubio. it may be assessment that marco can't win this race and the washington establishment is rushing over to support donald trump. >> reporter: in iowa and new hampshire republican voters haven't chosen a candidate. a new poll shows half republicans are still making up their minds. these votes could be up for grabs like john kasich and chris

they finish a strong second in new hampshire they will attract the momentum and media attention necessary to incredibly chase the nomination. >> thank you. the democrats are fighting over the party establishment this morning. polls show bernie sanders gaining ground against hillary clinton. nancy cordes is in des moines, iowa. where sanders is putting new pressure on clinton. >> reporter: we have reached the point in this campaign where the smallest slight can become a campaign issue. last night here in iowa, hillary clinton took umbridge at a stray comment from bernie sanders and it relates to women. >> i was somewhat confused when senator sanders said human rights campaign is part of the establishment. i wish it were. i wish we weren't fighting all the time to protect women's rights and to protect women's health. >> reporter: clinton was

this when asked why planned parenthood endorsed her, not him. >> hillary clinton has been around there for a very, very long time. it's from these groups are, in fact, part of the establishment. >> reporter: sanders is trying to position himself as an outsider. clinton camp says he is too far outside. >> i think the term socialist doesn't make it easier to win. >> reporter: kentucky governor argued wednesday that putting a socialist at the top of the ticket would hurt democrats down the ballot in november. new york congressman steve israel. >> a place to carry the socialist barn. no question about it. i'm not particularly concerned that in certain districts the banner you want to parade it. >> reporter: clinton backers said his past positions would make sanders an easy target to republicans. in the '70s, sanders favored 100% tax on income over a million dollars. at the cbs debate, sanders joked he has backed off that position -- a bit.

exact number yet but not be as high as the number under dwight d. eisenhower which was under 90% but i'm not that sh much of a socialist compared to eisenhower. >> polls show sanders would do better against top republicans this clinton were. her team argues that is just because she is the one taking all of the incoming fire from republicans, a sign, they argue, the republicans still view her as a tougher opponent in the fall. >> nancy, thanks. a british judge this morning, said russia's president likely approved the killing of a former spy. a new report said alexander litvinenko died in london after drinking poisonous tea in 2006. charlie d'agata is in london with more. >> reporter: alexandra litvinenko was deliberately

never in question but this goes further and says his killers must have taken orders from the top, meaning president putin's russia, that can only be one man. on his death bed, he told his wife, putin did it. this morning, almost a decade after his murder, judge robert owen confirmed rusch's secret service fsb and putin were likely to blame. >> the fsb to kill mr. lit vennen ko was probably approved mr. kovtun head of the fsb and also by president putin. >> reporter: the former agents fled to britain in 2000 having become an outspoken critic of vladimir putin and his inner circle. this hotel in 2006 he met two russian com raids for tea who

stojakovic into his sea point. andrei lugovoi and dmitry kovtun are back in russia. litvinenko became deadly ill. he was poisoned by an highly reactive and toxic poison. the two suspects they are still trying to extradite. they found it was the second time they tried to poison litvinenko. >> michigan's governor is under fire after null released e-mails about the lead water crisis in flint. under pressure, governor rick snyder's office released hundreds of pages yesterday. in one e-mail his then chief of staff writes of the toxic water, i can't figure out why the state is responsible. tests have shown dozens of children with elevated lead levels. adriana diaz is in flint with an

the contamination. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the governor released 274 pages of e-mails and documents late wednesday. one by an aide said that other state official are worried about people in flint turning this issue into a political football. but these e-mails don't change the reality for the people living here. they can't drink the tap water and depend on bottled water to survive. in september 25th e-mail to governor snyder, his chief of staff ro the real responsibilities rests with the county, city, and kwa referring to a water authority. he continued and since the issue here is of the health of citizens and their children we are taking a pro active approach. much more retired yesterday. days after that e-mail the governor announced the severity of the city's water problem after he he said he received confirmation of lead contamination. are these e-mails enough? >> no. >> reporter: this man lost re-election in november.

this is missing a whole year and it's missing all of the key public officials of the state level who were involved. >> reporter: when flint started drawing water from the flint river in 2014, the improperly treated water stripped lead from pipes. the city stopped tapping into the flint fliver october and lead levels have gone down but during an interview yesterday with scott pelley, governor snyder couldn't say what the current lead levels are. >> what is the number? >> i don't have the number at the time top of my head of the very latest data. and it varies by points in the city. >> i would think the governor of michigan would have the numbers at the top of his mind right now. >> until they are in a range that is considered safe, i don't actually want to get into the issue of by zip code or by street. >> reporter: president obama addressed the crisis in an interview for this weekend's sunday morning program. >> once people figured out that there was a problem there and there was lead in the water, the

weren't notified, things weren't shut down, that shouldn't happen anywhere. >> reporter: every single person we have spoken to here says that what they want is brand-new pipes. until then, this remains flint's cleanest water source. >> you can see lee cowen's full interview with president obama this weekend on "sunday morning" on cbs. thousands of students in detroit plan to be back in school today. a massive teachers sick-out on wednesday caused the schools to close. the district is suing to stop the protests over lower pay and run-down buildings. omar villafranca it at a detroit school for what is at sake in this fight. >> reporter: good morning. several buildings here at spain elementary school are closed because part of the campus is

talking about. on the outside of the building you can see the tiles falling off the building in several on the inside, teachers tell us it's much worse. >> stand up! stand up! >> reporter: detroit teachers ditched school on wednesday to protest in the bitter cold. >> fight back! >> reporter: part of a widespread sick-out that forced all of the schools across the city to shut down. >> report cards come out on friday and many things have to be done right now. but, at the moment, i have to take a stand. >> reporter: monica tyson teaches elementary and middle school students. >> we have rodent issues and many different things. the list goes on. >> reporter: these images show schools. damage on the floors and one classroom even had mushrooms growing out of the wall! cbs news toured an elementary school where a leaky roof caused

this isn't the first sick-out here in detroit this year. but it's the largest so far. affecting parents like mrs. murray. >> it can be frustrating but i can't imagine how frustrating it is for the teachers. >> reporter: the state took control of detroit's public schools in 2009 which are more than 50000 in debt. the state employed a state manager to run the system. on wednesday, the school district filed a lawsuit requesting an injunction to bring teachers back to work. >> instead of filing an injunction, let's just sit down and have a conversation. instead of pushing the teachers, sit down and see how we can work this out together. >> reporter: teacher groups are meeting today to talk about what they want to do. but we are told more sick-outs are planned. >> omar, thank you. we investigate the political action committee donald trump's campaign doesn't want raising

possible new planet in our solar system. for the first time in 170 years, evidence of this ninth planet was found on the far edge of the system. astronomers at the california institute of technology have not directly seen it yet but thinks it's up to ten times bigger than earth and 20 times farther away than neptune. derrick pitts is chief astronomer and director of the planetarium planetarium. how exciting is this to the world of asstron tronomy? >> it's exciting. for the first time we are identifying another planet in our solar system. like an indication we really don't know everything there is to know about our solar system and there is lots more to learn a. >> reporter: what is the evidence it's there? >> the evidence we can look at objects orbiting around our solar system and figure out why their motions are the way they are. because of the gravitational

we looked at objects and realized we couldn't completely understand their motion. however, if we insert into the equation an object about the size of this planet nine, everything then worked out perfectly. so that is what gives the suspicion that it really does exist. >> so you don't see it, but you said it's all about the numbers. two scientists are playing around with numbers and they think what? >> they think, this doesn't add up. we need to ask some other folks to take a look at this for us and tell us if we are crazy. sure enough, that is what they gp the cal tech astronomers said you know the idea about being another planet? it's not a crazy idea and it looks like it's really possible. now what they will do is let this information out to the rest of the astro none cal community to figure out what is going on and make sure everything is correct and do the observations. >> some are stepping toward to say they are convinced? >> well, it is -- yes, they are pretty well convinced. now they need the visual evidence to back it up because, as i said, the numbers don't lie.

visual evidence? a number i read in the paper and was interested in. pluto 4.6 billion miles from the sun. >> right. >> this new planet would be about 20 billion miles from the sun. >> it's even further out than that at its greatest extent. the point is we can develop instrumentation that goes on big telescopes around the world will give us the capability to see it. the real trick we have to know where to look and right now we don't know where to look. astronomers are incredible hunters and can figure this out. >> the numbers are awesome. how long would it take to navigate the sun? >> it's a 20,000-year orbit. >> 20,000 years? >> we won't be here! >> not only will we not be here but in the history of us looking at the sky, we have not yet really seen this. we don't know if it's come around to our part of the solar system or not. but one of the really cool things about this story is that one of the astronomers mike

person that downgraded the status of pluto originally his daughter has been a little upset with him. he says perhaps this will make up for that. >> when i grew up we were taught there were nine planets. coming full circle. >> i feel much better now there is a ninth planet. >> the next step is further >> right. they will keep looking at the numbers to see if they can find itself. and objects could manifest itself this way and they are looking for the visual. >> next time you come, would you i need my sunglasses. >> you are out of this world. >> it looks like it came from the south of france. >> i like it. >> thank you. i'll go for that. millions nationwide are waking up this morning to below freezing conditions. but 2015 was the hottest year on record. federal government findings announced yesterday show the earth's temperature went up 0.03

this election is on track to break all spending records. it could likely cost several billion dollars by the end of last year, presidential campaigns and outside groups supporting them raised more than $600 million. between the candidates, super pacs and other committees, that number is going to explode. funded in part from donors. but with all of those groups asking for money, it can be confusing. julianna goldman is in washington with a cbs news investigation that reveals why it's important for donors to do their homework. >> reporter: behind every political solicitation, there is an entire industry of consultants who hunt for donors but times they few vars actually make it to specific candidates. now this technically isn't

not no law is requiring pacs to spend money on election reason related purposes. >> a lot of people were older. >> reporter: kristina and c.j were paid. >> whatever the number, whatever you felt like you could work out of them. >> reporter: they worked for this milwaukee-based telemarketing firm called american liberty group. public records show it was paeds 400,000 by a political action committee called conservative strike force. zubic said one donor said he was dying of cancer so she asked a supervisor for guidance. >> why didn't you tell him this is an opportunity to give one big last donation. >> reporter: give one last big donation before he dies? >> yes. >> reporter: american liberty also solicited money from veterans on behalf of conservative strike force. cbs news obtained this script saying, can strikeforce count on your support of our veterans during these important times? but we couldn't find any money

we looked at federal records and found since 2011, conservative strike strikeforce and other pacs raised over $33 million large from republican retirees but only 8% went to the causes they claimed to support. the rest went to a group of companies who used those donations to make more money. is it a scam? >> oh, no question. you just can't say an organization out there that is spending 95% of its money just to raise more money and never has any intention of doing the things it's telling the people that it's talking to that it will do, you can't call that anything else. >> reporter: former virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli was the 2012 republican candidate for governor. conservative strike force used his name in the fund-raising pitches without his approval. he said they made false promises to voters so he sued them. >> they listed four things. they didn't do any of those things.

to conservative strikeforce, where does the money go? the pac, as well as six others have the same treasurer. a man named scott mckenzie and have the same address 37. p.o. bochlt x 806 at this u.p.s. store. mackenzie is paid to be the treasurer of all of these different pacs. >> reporter: mackenzie wouldn't speak on camera and says he doesn't have any current ties to the vendors. he says as treasurer for a total of 25 pacs, he takes all of the heat for decisions that other people make. already in this election cycle, donald trump asked mackenzie to shut down his unauthorized group patriots for trump. mackenzie said he will imply. in the meantime this former telemarketer in milwaukee had some advice. >> don't give anything over the

if you want to support something, go to the website of that organization you want to support and, and i'm sorry. i'm sorry for my part in that. >> reporter: kristina and c.j. both felt because they felt uncomfortable with what was happening. we asked mackenzie about the causes for veteran causes and said they were test calls and no money was raised. kristina verified payments but doesn't remember how much. already in 2016 some of mackenzie pacs have report spending hundreds of thousands of dollars largely from country. >> wow. kite an investigation. really disturbing. did you find, are these limited to conservatives or does this also happen on the left too? >> reporter: while these kind of scams are most prevalent on the right it's not limited to conservative causes. bernie sanders campaign sent a cease and desist letter to a man running an attack and running sanders campaign and that man is connected to eight other pacs. a family connection to the

goes into the discount store will discover the traditional macy's by virtue of going to backstage. i have to tell you this seems like a tall order to me. i can see the traditional macy's customer discovering the backstage store but they want to see that happen in reverse. this is going to be hard. >> yeah. we have ian other department stores like nordstrom's where they have nordstrom's rack where you get clothes at a discounted ralt rate. how is this different? >> nordstrom has worked hard to completely separate the brands. the rack business from the traditional nordstrom. and they have actually done a pretty good job of it. one way that they have done that, they profess that 80% of the merchandise inside of the rack store is actually specific to that store. it's not discounted merchandise from nordstrom. they actually even charge their vendors with coming up with separate merchandise for the rack business. they also have a long leap time on this one. they have been doing this for

they have over a hundred rack stores. so in this situation, macy's is going to be playing catch-up. they have about eight of the backstage stores and they are talking about another handful or so inside of the traditional macy's. >> what is the best successful formula for combating giants like amazon? who has done it right? >> that's exactly right. that is the story. there are a few people who have done it right. i think nordstrom has actually done a really good job. notwithstanding its stock price over the last year, but if you look at their business, they have done a really good job of acquiring on online retailers and done a really good job of really building up their omni channel system so you can use your phone while shopping there. this rack business was successful for them. >> this seems a sign that department stores are not doing so well. how bad it s it?

these businesses are down 40% or so. they have had a lot of pressure on them. it's just a different day. they have got the assault of online and the mill len ennial shopper not that into retail in terms of buying clothes. they want purchases like vacations and going out to dinner and that is a lot to overcome. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> always good to see you. sarah palin's political endorsement of donald trump launches a debate about fashion. how her decision to wear a glitzy jacket on stage is
