i'm so happy the operation went well for kelly—marie and melanie.o see if they lose their weight. but i want to see if it really is that easy to find a good clinic. i'm going to do some research. everyone i know that's been to turkey for weight loss surgery has done the majority of their research online. so let's have a look at what they're looking at. so this one says, "gastric sleeve, turkey, "five—star hotel accommodation". actually, you should be looking at where you're going to have your surgery, the surgeon that you're going to, not where you're going to be staying. if i was going abroad for surgery, i wouldn't even know where to start. it looks like a big part of choosing the right clinic are the online reviews and the before—and—after pictures. but can you always trust everything you see online? 0h! there is somebody that i recognise on here. they had their surgery in the uk, privately, and they're being used on a turkish website for weight loss surgery. i even spotted one clinic that was trying to pass off images anyone can buy on the inter

but melanie was unhappy with the advice she got. were things that were with an aim to make me question why i wanted to have an abortion, whether i should. she definitely did some fear—mongering around the process of a medical abortion, "you can heavily bleed for months on end." she had said about the likelihood of me being infertile after having an abortion and she said, "you will always be a mother," and whilst that is something that i disagree with, that does stay with you. i was appalled. i was angry. it made me not want to call anyone else for advice that wasn't someone i knew. despite her experience, melanie went ahead with an abortion. the pregnancy crisis helpline says it supports women in a safe, pressure—free environment, it works hard to offer women the highest possible standard of support, and since it started, it's had two complaints and thousands of grateful clients. abortions have been available on the nhs in england, scotland and wales, for more than 50 years. today, the nhs also funds abortions through providers like

let's get you to capitol hill now and cnn's melanie's and nona, who is there for us, melanie let's start with trump's republican allies in congress. what's the messaging from them today? well republicans are really racing to defend the former president, even as they don't know the full scope of charges that he is facing at speaker kevin mccarthy tweeted that they are going to use their majority to hold alvin bragg accountable. he also called this an unprecedented abuse of power. jim jordan, a key committee chair, called it outrageous. marty taylor green, another key trump ally, said she's actually going to go to new york city and tuesday to protest this indictment. and then senator lindsey graham, also a key committee member, a key trump ally. he has been particularly aggressive in his response. take a listen. this is legal voodoo. you got a misdemeanor that's been made of felony. nobody in the history of new york city has ever been prosecuted under this theory, except for donald j. trump. this case will follow, like a cheap suit under legal scrutiny. give the president some money to fig

night. the sierra today dealt with long waits, a change in plans and a lot of fresh snow reporter melanieingo has their story. the signs are everywhere. snow coming down at lower elevations and slushy mess on the road, a seemingly never ending line of cars being diverted off interstate 80. it's just one of those days that's nowhere near ideal for drivers trying to make it over. the sierra should have left earlier today, james wong met with foreshadowing of things to come along his trip from the bay area to where caltrans ushered him and hundreds of other drivers off the highway at applegate. i started to realize that when the rain was coming down when we got towards the ik over there at 80, right there at the ring was coming down. really, really bad. it's like, oh, boy, i'm like, you know, let's just so by can still get through. you know the weight, not a quickut 23 hours, metro family the storm related highway closures mean their plans are changing. so we're not gonna make it to boom town tonight. travelers left with no choice but to wait out the rough roadway conditions. there's always

that is where we find cnn's melanie zanona this morning.eaction, especially from house republicans, not so much from senators, ahead of tomorrow after the former president claimed that this was going to happen tomorrow. what more are we hearing? >> reporter: yeah, you're absolutely right, republicans are lining up to defend former president donald trump, they have been attacking the manhattan district attorney's office as radical, they've been calling a potential indictment an outrageous abuse of power and speaker kevin mccarthy has already promised to investigate whether federal funds were used by the manhattan da to investigate trump over this alleged hush money payment that he made right before the 2016 election. in fact, mccarthy said we could see action on that front as soon as today as republicans gather here in florida for their annual policy retreat. but so far kevin mccarthy has really dodged questions about the merits of this case and whether there's any evidence that he could see that would make him feel like an indictment is war

reporter melanie wingo has the story. a disastrous mudslides slamming into a colfax home.y described that tree came through one of their windows, and then it sounded like a train hitting their house. everyone at the home and surrounding neighbors escaping without getting hurt. incredible since cal fire says an assessment from the air shows the slide was massive. once we got an air, we can see that we had a slide approximately 250 ft wide geologist from placer county, assessing the damage and status of the landscape. cal fire crews work to help a handful of neighbors sheltering in place at the other side of the slide up parkhill road, maybe 150 yards up there, so it's approximately a foot to two ft. thick a tough job but a top priority to give those neighbors away out. get stuck. so we're gonna use a bulldozer to clear it so we can hopefully get them out recent weather a likely culprit for causing the slide. cal fire says colfax was hit was hit with approximately two ft of snow at this elevation and then subsequently, in the last couple days or a week. we've had 5 to 7 inch

and cnn reporter melanie zone ona. she has more on how trump continues to wield enormous amounts of power within the halls of congress and melanie. this reporting indicates that he is either in constant direct communication or in constant communication through intermediaries. yeah that's right. there has been regular communication between trump world and these gop investigative committees on capitol hill. in some cases, it is the former president himself , who is speaking directly to members on these committees that includes at least stefanek, a member of gop leadership. other times it's been his aides or advisers who are speaking with the lawmakers or their committee staff and the council to these committees, and much of the conversation has been keeping him in the loop. making sure that they're all on the same page and really briefing him and the peace and progress of their investigations. but in other instances, we have seen examples where trump world has tried to exert influence over these investigations. in fact,

melanie, you know, this is a highly politicized issue as well. i wonder is the testimony today going to be about digging in for answers here or is it going to be more of a political back and forth? >> reporter: i think we're going to see a mix of politics and substance here because the big question that has plagued both health officials and intelligence officials is where did this virus come from, and that is something that republicans have vowed to dig into with their new majority. we will see the first step in that process today, the house select committee on the coronavirus pandemic just kicked off a hearing moments ago with opening statements about to get under way here, looking into the origins of covid-19. and the three witnesses that republicans have called are robert red field, the former cdc director under donald trump, jamie metzel a former fellow for the atlantic council and nicholas wade, he is a science writer. all three of these witnesses have given some voice to the theory that the coronavirus may have originated in a lab. of cours

melanie zanona is on the hill. speaker mccarthy saying about this. >> he has come under fire regarding the release of the january 6th tapes. not only did he agree to give the exclusive to fox news' host tucker carlson, someone who has spread conspiracy theories about it and he is now making accommodations to allow lawyers for january 6th defendants to access this footage, as well. mccarthy is defending these moves and he said it's important for transparency and also for due process and he promised to give the footage to the rest of the media after tucker airs his exclusive. here's a little bit more of what he said. >> i think sunshine matters so i don't care what side of the issue you are on, that's why i think putting it all out to the american public, you can see the truth. see exactly what transpired that day and everyone can have the exact same information. >> so there were also some concerns about the potential security risks of releasing this footage including from some republican members. that was something

melanie moreover, she emphasized the need to continue the supply of weapons to ukraine, she motivateds by the fact that , firstly, ukrainians are fighting for their independence and freedom , and secondly, the war continues in this way far from the rest of europe. well, we will be warned of a terrorist attack in belarus. of the country's information later this was confirmed today by the self-proclaimed president oleksandr lukashenko, according to information released during special operations that took place last weekend in a cluster in the north-west of belarus and even neutralized a foreign terrorist, in addition, the law enforcement officers seized an entire arsenal of weapons and explosives that they planned to use against officials of state bodies in belarus against whom they do not say exactly, but they hint that it is probably against the security forces. became the only candidate for the presidential elections in turkey from the republican alliance ruling party today his documents were taken to the central election commission the documents of his main competitor from the oppos
