out there yet again here today of the another one here, southern new jersey, where it is nine, john carol'seighborhood here at mullica hill. he has few more clouds, but also, that light wind continue for him, women off to the north, interestingly, actually, milder innocent it is, 12 in saylorsburg. it is actually couple of degrees warmer where he is, but still coal. when you are down to the teens do you have factor that in in. >> switching gears, how long is this spell going to last. came from pretty long trends continues into the midday here. where pottstown hitting noon very likely going to at least start to climb up above 32. but that means, potential for 94 solid hours have not hit the freezing mark. that's long time to be stuck in that deep freeze. but, of course, as we've been discussing there is warming trends on the way so comes at a price, yes, here comes first front bringing at the moment generally some snow through western pennsylvania. when this reaches us, it is going to be closing in on the early evening. so, because we are still have enough cold nare place, worried about icin

thirty-one comes in from john carol, he too finding overcast very light winds if any out in mullica hill. then the one sweet spot we do have little bit of snow, key word little bit here, william powell, still reporting snow in woodbine. and he said that right now got about a half inch. as we mentioned, general expectation one to 3 inches locally of the snowfall on storm scan, we do have snow still falling, somewhat steadily across sussex county but even here in philly you know what we've been on snowflake patrol all morning long here on the cbs-3 skydeck. haven't found one flake yet. i don't think we will see much because of the way it is getting through, and the track so critical. that makes or breaks you sometimes. but, we are going to continue to deal with this for the next few hours, i want to zoom it all the way out to show the next disturbance, next alberta clipper. originating in alberta canada. what these systems tends to do is dip across the us, bring with it very light moisture, and bring with them reinforcing cold. that's exactly what this looks like it will be doing. so while

i get it. 42 degrees, with a lot of clouds in mullica hill, john carol right now, again, somewhat of day. we go to one more, take you back into pennsylvania, where lou report 39 degrees, in eagleville, lots of overcast skies, but did say he has little fine mist and drizzle out there, as well. now, let's go back to our camera shot here. typically see the center city skyline off in the distance, obviously just shroud in the cloud cover right now. low cloud deck to start the day as it is. heavy wet weather isn't really here yet. you can see the leading edge of it moving into baltimore. it is working it way guys right up the i95 corridor. with time we will see it over spread our radar picture here locally too. once it is here, it is with us. basically for the rest of the day essentially. so from nine to five or so is when we will see the steadiest rain work its way through here. then it will begin to taper off from west to east. and through the overnight fog, drizzle, clearing, what's going to take place. and by the time we hit our seven day, looking ahead to much cooler air tomorrow, re

carol of the henry j. professor of law at the harvard law school. and then closest to me is john bessler who is a law professor at the university of baltimore law school and widely regarded as one of the nation's leading capital punishment experts. so what we're going to do at the outset of our discussion is we're going to begin to look at the history of capitol punishment and try and set -- and in doing that, try and set the stage for current issues that relate to capital punishment and whether or not it remains constitutional. so as a result of that, we're going to start with john who's going to sort of take us through the founding era first and how the constitution has initially addressed capital punishmenting and what the issues were at that time. >> sure. so we think back through the history of the death penalty, we have to go back to the dark ages, the middle ageses, and we see executions used routinely. during the founding era, the death penalty was a mandatory punishment. if you were convicted of certain crimes, not just including murder, but many different felonies, you

carol: john mcmanus, he is a professor of marine biology and ecology at the university of miami.the research he did and what he saw, and why it is so important. >> so it goes back a long way. he had actually been based in the philippines for years, and he had done this very early study of exactly what was happening in the spratly islands. why the spratly islands, they are hardly islands, they are reefs and -- carol: you look at a global map, and they are like nothing. >> they are tiny, and that is what everyone is fighting over. this was back in the 1980's and early 1990's, he was in the philippines, and he was trying to figure out where fish were coming from, because they were overfished, and he was looking at how these fisheries were getting repopulated. and he did this study based on totally archaic methodology, looking at paper maps with arrows on them where ships had drifted off in the south china sea, and he figured out the spratly islands were the source for the fisheries on the coast, and providing these replenishing pulses of fish, if you will. carol: did he call it a ge

and so today, carol vorderman, along with raf veteran john nichol, took their message to the prime minister. i'm not saying johnny is more worthy than a fashion designer or a celebrity or a sports man or a designer or a celebrity or a sports man ora tv designer or a celebrity or a sports man or a tv personality, but it's those people are worthy of awards, thenjohnny is worth one, 100 fold. injust three weeks, thenjohnny is worth one, 100 fold. in just three weeks, over 200,000 people have signed the petition. but whetherjohnnyjohnson, our last surviving dambuster, appears on the queen's list next time remains to be seen. vienna landing, bbc news. the weather now with sarah keith—lucas. we have some contrast across the uk, you can see the beautiful blue skies in scotland. the satellite image shows there's a lot of cloud around the rest of the uk. this picture comes from dorset, where a fairly different scene is there. there's a lot of grey cloud, some drizzly outbreaks of rain. we've even had some snow grains around across parts of the country. where you have the cloud it's feeling pretty ch

very busy day for senior white house correspondent, john roberts live. let's go to carol. i think i saw you in there. you were in the room, weren't you, carol? >> i was, yes. >> shepard: so first day after saturday or yesterday, your thoughts on day one and spicer's briefing room. >> i thought he set the tone early on almost immediately when he came out and kind of made a joke. he said he had spoken to his predecessor, josh earnest, who was voted the most liked press secretary by reporters. he said that he assured him he wouldn't lose that title any time soon based on what he had done over the weekend. so he was very conciliatory. he took questions for 1 hour and 15 minutes. he called on a number of reporters. he mixed it up. he didn't start in the traditional way that press secretaries have started for a long time by calling on the associated press and moving through the front couple rows and getting a few questions in the back. he moved all over the room. he didn't know some of the people he called on, which is different. he took a bunch of questions. he also tried to cl

carol? >> thanks so much. any moment congressman john lewis will speak at an mlk breakfast in miami, florida. it will be the first time we hear from the congressman since the president-elect tweeted about him over the weekend. cnn's boris sanchez is live outside that event. what can you tell us, boris? >> reporter: good morning, carol. we're set to hear from representative lewis later today. he was set for press availability this morning, but the congressman is running late. he's said to be the keynote speaker at an event in miami for the 5,000 role models of excellence project, a project that brings together young african-american men and mentors from the community. the response here, as you can imagine, has not been one welcoming of donald trump's criticism of representative lewis in large part because of the timing of this. you'll note representative lewis has an extensive civil rights resume, of course walking and marching with dr. martin luther king many years ago and leading the march from selma, montgomery in 1965 where he had a c

. >> carol, we should note -- >> sorry. >> john mccain was on "new day" this morning and his analysispot on when asked what's behind these historic lows approva approval. john mccain says donald trump has been chasing everything, starting a fight here, getting on twitter and whether it is meryl streep or the intel community, it has been a transition period that's been contentious in nature and donald trump, according to john mccain, has been sort of distracted by all of these things he's chasing. i think that does have some bearing here to look at why since we immediately asked these questions after the election in november, why even since then we've seen this slide. it's because in large part of the way donald trump has been conducting this period of time, this transition period. >> the question -- i'm glad you says that because i want to ask you this question as well. so it seems that donald trump really isn't interested in uniting the country. for example, he's tweeting about john lewis. like why not just let it go but he's slamming him again on twitter. that doesn't do anything to

and so today, carol vorderman, along with raf veteran john nichol, took their message to the prime ministerrs in philadelphia, the first foreign leader to address them at this particular occasion. tomorrow she will become the first foreign leader to meet president trump face—to—face in the white house. let's hear what she has to say. thank you very much for that fantastic welcome. can i say, majority leader mcconnell, distinguished representatives of the house, i would like to thank congress and the institute for the invitation to be here today. the opportunity to visit the united states is always special. and to be invited to be the first serving head of government to address this important conference is an honour indeed. i defy any person to travel to this great country at any time and not to be inspired by its promise and its example. for more than two centuries, the very idea of america, drawn from history and given written form in a small hall not far from given written form in a small hall not farfrom here, has given written form in a small hall not far from here, has lit up the world

. >> carol let me change topics because it's afternoon. congressman john lewis, democrat of georgia revered member of the civil rights communities, told nbc news because of the russian hacks he does not see donald trump as a legitimate president. i don't know that democrats, we already had joe manchin disagreeing with him. i don't know that democrats think that is the right message. what's your take? >> i think when that is going to move anything else, really provoke trump. part of the reason why he has picked this fight with the intelligence community is because he feels under siege, that all of this is designed to undermine what he feels was a very legitimate movement that he had that led him to win the white house. and, so, but you can also see democrat really wanting to kind of needle him because that's what they do. but lewis' comment, he seemed to be a little -- he was very heart felt about that, but obviously other democrats aren't doing that. >> do you think calling into question his legitimacy ultimately helps donald trump? >> i'm not sure who it

today his friend carol vorderman is going to parliament — along with gulf war veteran john nicol — inme, and the air cadets absolutely adore him. everybody in the air force adores him. and we just had a wonderful day. since then, because bothjohnny and i live in bristol, we've met a few times and just had a nice time. but i had no idea that he'd been nominated, let alone... so he was nominated... by somebody else. and he didn't appear on the new year's honours and that's when it motivated you to really power behind this petition. absolutely. together with the sun newspaper and i. i had no idea. i thought, this isn't right. and a lot of people don't know the story of the dambusters. they don't know the story. i'm 56, so i was brought up in a generation where we were told stories about world war ii, because many of our fathers had fought in world war ii. so it was a part of my growing up. but what i found over the last three weeks, so many young people don't know. "i didn't realise, it's fantastic. "what an amazing man." you know? so it's as relevant today, after last year and all of th

secretary of homeland security, john kelly, he on the implementation of the immigration order, that is set for noon eastern time. did we tell you it's a busy day? let's bring in carol lee, white house correspondent for "the wall street journal." carol, this immigration ban, this temporary immigration ban that the president has ordered, really seems to be roiling things in washington. it has resulted in the firing of the acting attorney general, for instance. >> that's right, and i think that was designed to send a message from the president that he is in charge and he's not going to tolerate his orders being defied. at the same time, it has sort of fed this growing anxiety within different agencies about what the trump administration is going to mean for them. obviously as you know, the government is made up of largely career officials and there are a number of agencies that don't have the head of the agencies running them because they haven't been confirmed yet. and you have a president who is moving very quickly on a lot of different fronts and with various policies, and government is not necessarily something that tends to move really fast. and so i think there
