pla places, guys. >> thank you very much. >> as we said, the snow and ice causing big problems for travelers. thousands of flights cancelled across the midwest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. a messy monday morning for a lot of travelers, just shy of 200 flights all across the country canceled this morning, half in chicago. the reality is those numbers are relief for weekend travelers who saw more than 2,000 flights cancelled because of the winter weather. the majority in the midwest. we saw them in o'hare and detroit. a lot of passengers scrambling to get on new flights telling me that process isn't easy and isn't cheap. >> i was supposed to leave at 10:00 and now i'm on a 2:55. >> reporter: both flights got canceled? >> both flights were

book and i went through a different airline and booked through them. >> reporter: how has this been getting canceled and re-booked? >> expensive. >> reporter: united airline agreed to waive any re-booking fees and delta and american for any delays for 60 or 90 minutes, a full refund. we don't expect these delays to go anywhere any time soon. >> uh-oh. >> seems like we switched over. it was snowing for a while. >> now, we have rain. >> our northeastern viewers will be looking at snow. upstate new york, to new england, heavy thundershowers from washington, d.c. all the way back to tennessee. the snowfall, depending where the temperature is, boston, right on the line. you see that 38 degrees and 21

election to herm him win. >> i think it's ridiculous. i think it's another excuse. i don't believe it. >> reporter: mr. trump refused to believe multiple agencies who pointed the finger at russia to help hack the top democrats during the 2016 race. >> they have no idea if it's russia or somebody sitting some place. >> does the president-elect believe russia was trying to muddy up and get involved in the election in 2016. >> number one, you don't know it, i don't know it and there's been no conclusive or specific report to say otherwise. >> reporter: not all republicans are lining up. four top senators including john mccain and lindsey graham calling for an investigation into the potential russian hack all of that highlighting a risk between the incoming chief and intelligence agencies he's about to work with, mr. trump even

briefings presidents receive. he's only had a handful. >> i'm a smart person. i don't have to be told the same words every single day for the next eight years. >> reporter: this all comes as trump is on defense over his likely pick as secretary of state, rex tillerson, ceo of exxonmobil. he has no diplomatic experience but executed business deals around the world but has ties to russia. >> he's much more than a business executive, a world class player. >> reporter: he could face a tough confirmation flight marco rubio tweeting being a friend of putin is not an attribute. >> is it a matter of concern? certainly it is a matter of concern. >> reporter: also looming large questions how mr. trump will manage his vast business empire once in office. >> i will have nothing to

>> reporter: mr. trump will hold his first press conference since becoming president-elect and will tell exactly how he will d disentangle himself from his business and has suggested his children will have control and officially announced he is nominating general john kelly as secretary of homeland security. >> thanks very much. kellyanne conway served as mr. trump's campaign manager and now a senior advisor for the transition. good morning. >> thank you. >> does mr. trump think the cia is lying on the russian's impact on the election? >> he has not said that. mr. trump has said he respects the intelligence community. in this specific case being discussed recently we don't have credible and complete evidence there's a direct nexus between anything russia did and hillary clinton's loss in the election. >> is it enough to know

russians deployed hackers to have some involvement, some impact on the election whether it resulted in a victory or loss for hillary clinton? >> first of all, we don't believe -- we don't want intelligence interfering in our politics. we don't want politics interf e interfering with our intelligence. that's what's happening here. if you look at some of these articles being written, they want the reader and viewer to make that direct connection between interference and the election results. these are leaked unsourced, non-sources, if you will. that's what hearings are for and investigations are for. >> when you talked about leaked and unsourced, mr. trump had no problem during the campaign using that leaked unsourced information negative information in the campaign against hillary clinton now he doesn't care very much where it's coming from. >> he cares very much about our intelligence community. number two, thesefb

don't agree on what the conclusion is. that's very clear from the "washington post" article and an article last night. in case of the e-mail we saw right in front of us what they said. i do think there's something going on here, whether the recount, jim comey's fault, rish shan interference, a group of people we never met. >> the two things may be mutu mutually exclusive. both of those things may be right. get back to what you said about he cares about this intelligence, it could be russia or some guy in new jersey, doesn't give me the sensee understands the gravity of a foreign entity interfering in an election. >> he does and he understands the consequences of not having a great relationship with russia now. we simply don't and that's why some of these picks are people involved already in russia. and president-elect will make an announcement this week, one of

tillerson, somebody who dealt in russia, oversaw thousands of employees and $20 billion and that's important because we can't have somebody go in there with no experience. >> i'm glad you bring mr. ti tillerson up, on top of the impact on the election and mr. trump's own words in the past about vladimir putin thinking he's a strong leader and liking his praise and now we have rex ti tillerson who has close ties to moscow, honored by them, against sanctions against russia is he perhaps the right guy but at the wrong time, kellyanne? >> it's the right job description. we want somebody used to negotiating and because he is an oilman, been in yemen and china and russia and developing world in the middle east. not like vladimir putin and rex tiller son are pounding down vodka at the local bar, not intimate friends and they deal with each other through business

president trump is a cabinet particularly secretary of state, the fourth highest person in the u.s. that person will be adva e advancing the agenda for mr. trump. >> when will we know for sure? >> he has announced to me and others he may announce a pick this week. everyone should announce how much time and deliberation he has spent on this very important pick, who will be the secretary of state. the world is a dangerous place. we don't have great relations p relationships everywhere. picking somebody who will advance the usa's interests and trump doctrine is not to be r h rushed. the man who killed will smith has been convicted of mls. -- manslaughter.

there's still hard times ahead for smith's family. >> just because there was a guilty and not guilty verdict, that doesn't mean everything starts over. she will get up in the morning and her husband is not there. the kids will get up in the morning and their father is not there. >> hayes is facing a sentencing for february the 17th. it marks six months since the deadliest mast shooting in history. the moment of silence was at the exact time he started shooting showing the before, during and after the rampage. cameras show him parking his minivan under a canopy. and police arrived minutes later after reports of the first shots. some patron run for their lives. the standoff lasted three hours before mateen was finally kill

scene telling her her husband has just been murdered. it was posted the same day it was taken in 2009. her lawyers say the police abused their power and only wanted to get sensational video for the tv show, "cops." her attorney said she never intended to have her husband killed and boynton beach police set her up. >> posting all this footage for the world to see, do you believe that was good police practices, yes or no? >> i can't answer that. >> before the trial, the judge threw out the video, but the tape came up during defense questioning. prosecutors say that opened the door to play the video. the judge could make a ruling later today. jurors have already seen video of her talking to an undercover cop about killing her husband. >> i'm positive, 5,000% sure. >> we find the defendant guilty. >> reporter: in 2011 she was

commit murder and sentenced to 20 years but the decision was thrown out on appeal. this time around her actions on video are once again at the center of the case. >> it is based 100% on her words, her actions and her inte intent. >> we're going to ask this jury to disregard those videotapes this world has seen because they are a direct byproduct of police corruption. >> this morning, the defense is expected to call a police expert to the stand and then the defendant herself could take the stand. her lawyers say she hasn't decided and spent the weekend considering whether she wants to do that or not. hoda, matt. >> high drama in the courtroom. thank so much. go to bed early or late? early. >> if you didn't go to bed early you
