i'm diane macedo. >> i'm kendis gibson. we'll start with severe weather in the south causing flash flooding overnight and spawning dangerous hailstorms. >> they're clearly visible on radar. the rain is falling in parts of alabama and georgia and this morning the cleanup is under way after large hail pounded texas. overnight powerful storms pounding the south. >> wow. >> reporter: the weather system bringing dangerous storms to texas, leaves and branches flying across this yard knocked off trees from the wind and hail. a barrage of ice hitting the grass bouncing like baseballs. a woman getting out of this truck bravely running for cover and look at this backyard outside of dallas. huge splashes in the water as hail just pelts a pool. these vehicles were damaged in the storm. doors and windshields smashed. more damage. this home's windows were smashed and we have amazing images on

social media showing what caused all this damage. people holding huge hail the size of softballs. all that severe weather is moving east right now. the rain from this front is making its way to the eastern seaboard, downpours expected in washington, new york and boston. the good news, though, spring is finally making its way into the northeast. forecast have temps in the 60s for the rest of the week. more breaking news from belgium. belgian authorities have arrested two more men in connection with the brussels bombings. prosecutors say the two rented the apartment that served as a hideout for the subway bomber. 16 people died in that and 16 others the same day at the brussels airport. authorities say their investigation is active day and night. take a look. showing salah abdeslam in jail. abdeslam is a key suspect in the november attacks in paris. he was arrested in brussels months after those attacks.

democrats have been competing on who has the most new york values. >> brooklyn born, native son. >> reporter: sanders' campaign ad painting him as the true new yorker while clinton reminding voters he left new york for vermont. >> the state that has the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing crimes in new york come from vermont. >> reporter: new york's closed primary is just a week away. closed meaning voters have to be registered in advance for the party in order to vote in the primary. >> you need to actually be registered as a republican. >> reporter: the importance of registering, something ivanka has been reminding voters in state after state. >> hi, south carolina. >> hi, nevada, i'm ivanka trump. >> aloha, hawaii. >> reporter: they allowed her to forget her own state. >> they were unaware of the rules and they didn't register in time so they feel very, very

guilty. >> luckily for trump it doesn't look like he'll need those two votes to win in the empire state. a new poll out shows him ahead by a whopping 33 points and puts clinton ahead by 14 points. kendis, diane. >> john kasich far behind in second place in that poll. lana, thank you. hillary clinton is coming under fire for a racially tinged joke. >> sorry, hillary. i was running on cp time. >> i don't like jokes like that. that's not -- >> cautious politician time. >> that's clinton taking part at an annual media event with new york mayor bill de blasio and a cast member from the broadway hit "hamilton." cp time is used to mean colored people time. bill de blasio said it was all just a joke.

>> it was clearly a staged show. it was a scripted show and the whole idea was to do the counterintuitive and say cautious politician time. every actor involved including hillary clinton and leslie odom jr. thought it was a joke on a different convention. that was the whole idea of it so i think people are missing the point here. >> the comedy skit is drawing mixed reaction on social media. so far no comment from the clinton campaign. new orleans police plan to add another charge against a man being held for the murder of former saints player will smith. cardell haste remains in custody linked to the shooting of his wife. hayes' defense attorney says hayes ras rewas rear ended by a vehicle. hayes will plead not guilty according to his lawyer. today is national equal payday representing how many extra days women have to work to earn what men earn the previous
