Off from New York tonight tonight that 28 ton fire truck spinning out of control on icy roads near St Louis oh my God watch again firefighters responding to a call losing traction striking a vehicle and coming to a stop luckily no one was hurt but that dangerous ice storm is making travel treacherous across the Heartland ACU weather.

Capturing streets covered in ice outside Oklahoma City the back roads especially are incredibly slick there's about a/ qu inch of ice secretion that happened overnight from multiple waves of freezing rain on Lake Erie east of Toledo a race to rescue 20 people stranded on an ice flow a half mile from Shore the Coast Guard and local.

Authorities rushing to the scene everyone making it back to land safely but tragically the death toll rising from weeks of winter storms at least 75 people killed across 13 states many from hypothermia and car crashes in Memphis where a boil water advisory remains in effect residents like Carolyn Mayfield going several days without water I'm.

Ginger yes let's go ahead and get through the winter weather advisories David they go all the way from TOA Kansas to Scranton Pennsylvania that's mostly in most of those places for that freezing rain meaning you see rain fall and then it hits a subfreezing surface and freezes on contact it makes that dangerous slick ice we'll time it out.

Here for you anywhere you see pink on the map has a shot at getting that before the rain takes over so a lot of people from Chicago through Indiana Ohio and then snow on the north side of it really for you know most of New York over into Massachusetts New Hampshire Vermont then after that it's rain that takes over and I think we'll see a lot.

Of fog too because we have a lot of snow cover actually the most to this date in eight years when that happens you'll also have flooding rains possible in Louisiana Mississippi and that warm up everybody waiting David for a good 30 40 degrees warmer than where we were last week all right Ginger Z with us tonight Ginger we'll be watching first thing in.

The morning in the meantime we turn now to the breaking developments we learned late today that the us has launched new air strikes on Iranian back militants it comes after a missile attack on a US base in Iraq also tonight here for the first time we have learned the identities of two US Navy Seals one who fell from a ship the other who tried to.

Save him during a daring Mission the seals were never found here's our foreign correspondent James Longman Tonight Tonight us and British forces launching another major attack on Iranian back militias at multiple targets across Yemen they're aimed at stopping houy Rebels attacks on ships in the Red.

Sea the White House insists the strategy is working the strikes that we have conducted ashore in Yemen have degraded houthi capabilities but so far retaliatory air strikes have failed to stop the houthis and it comes amid escalating tensions in the region US troops at al-assad Airbase in Iraq came under.

Attack over the weekend Iranian back militias fired 17 ballistic missiles and Rockets most were intercepted but the pent says at least two US Personnel suffered traumatic brain injuries it's just the latest in more than 150 attacks against US troops in Iraq and Syria since October and tonight we're learning the identities of the two Navy Seals who.

Disappeared on that nighttime mission to seize these Iranian weapons headed to houie Rebels 37-year-old Christopher Chambers and 27-year-old Nathan Gage Ingram after a 10-day search the Pentagon now confirms the men are presumed dead underscores how dangerous the mission can be um and the dangers that these brave warriors are willing to.

Face every day the strikes hit underground military storage sites and houthi missile and air surveillance capabilities the US and its allies say deescalation Remains the goal David James Longman live from London tonight James thank you meantime back here in the us tonight into the race for president the New Hampshire primary of.

Course tomorrow tonight the showdown between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley Haley had wanted to make this a two-person race and now it is Haley tried to make the case that she's the only person left to prevent a trump Biden rematch Rachel Scott in New Hampshire tonight person it's nice to meet tonight in New Hampshire it's dor.

Dive for Nikki Haley she wanted a one-on-one match up with Donald Trump and now she's got it so we're going to do this get out tomorrow take five friends with you in the final hours Haley crisscrossing the state with New Hampshire Governor Chris newu it is now a twers race and what that means is your decision tomorrow is do we want more of.

The same or do we want a new generational leader haly insisting Trump and President Biden are just too old for the job and she's seizing on this moment Trump confusing her with Nancy Pelosi when talking about January 6th dicki Haley is in charge of security we offered her 10,000 people soldiers National Guard whatever they want Haley.

Pounds when you're dealing with the pressures of a presidency we can't have someone else that we question whether they're mentally fit to do this Trump meantime has turned to mocking Haley's Indian first name nimat highlighting it and misspelling it again and again it's a little bit of a takeoff on her name you.

Know her name wherever she may come from Haley was born in South Carolina she told me Trump's attacks are proof she's getting to him this is what he does when he starts to feel insecure this is what he does when he feels threatened one thing is clear with Florida Governor Ronda sant is out of the race Haley is now the only candidate standing between.

Trump and the Republican nomination and here in New Hampshire she's counting on Independent voters like Deborah barui a cook at a hospital she tells me she's undecided but it's probably going to be Nikki why Nikki because I think it's time for a big change huge so why not Trump after all.

He's done now we don't need it David Nikki Haley is betting on a strong showing in this state but right now she is trailing Trump by double digit she told me that win or lose here she is staying in this race until her home state of South Carolina but that's still more than a month away David Rachel Scott from New Hampshire Rachel thank.
