in the 20s. that is just night and day as far as a temperature change as we don't see that arctic blast come in throughout the week in there. now as you take a look at europe we have a storm system moving through the low country. that brings us rain showers here. it will be shifting over to snow as it sinks down here towards the south and also seeing some rather unstable weather going into italy on saturday because as this goes south it's pulling in all that cold air from the north all the way up clear to scandinavia peninsula. warm air out of the mediterranean accompanied by moisture. up to 100 kilometer winds. this will be the hot spot going through the weekend as far as severe weather. got flight plans coming in and out of italy much of southern germany over towards eastern france you want to check in on this one. very well could be causing some delays and cancelations. temperatures mild for the time being but this is also going to be cooling off throughout much of western europe as those temperatures continue to come down. that's a look at your world weather. let's take a look at your extended forecast. >>> we'll be back in 30 minutes

program is obviously something that has been keyed to president obama's foreign policy in as far as being able to takehere is he doesn't have to send u.s. troops and john brennan was an architect of that strategy. of course, controversial because there are innocent civilians who can get caught up in that as "the new york times" written about earlier this week, as well. that's obviously where some of this is coming from but the question americans face is would you rather have american troops and boots on the ground in yemen and pakistan or the unmanned drones taking on this responsibility? >> thank you very much. i appreciate you changing conversations in the middle of everything. we'll have plenty of time i'm sure to talk about chuck hagel. meantime, let's take the audience to the senate hearing and senator dianne feinstein. >> because of the added importance of having steady leadership at an organization that conducts most of its business outside of the public arena. intelligence is critical to the successful draw down in afghanistan, to the brutal war going on within's syria's borders, across north
