Former southbound bend mayor Pete Buttigieg. We have a newcomer in the white house. Look where it got us. Good suddaturday morning to you. Good morning. Christi is off today. An american has died in china after being big no bein diagnosed with coronavirus. Around the world at least 726 people have been killed, and there are more than 34,000 don firmed cases globally. We are covering the many angles of this story. Cnns will ripley is standing by in japan. First to beijing. Steven, what more can you tell us about the latest death . Reporter well, we actually have just heard from the Chinese Foreign ministry giving us a bit more information about this u. S. Citizen. They say this was an Ethnic Chinese u. S. Citizen who died at 7 00 p. M. On thursday in wuhan. The Chinese Government said during this patients treatment they had maintained communication with this persons family and offered this person active treatment and care. The Chinese Government said now they have reported relevant information to the u. S. Side and are willing to continue to offer assistance to the u. S. Government and the patients family in dealing with the aftermath. This death was probably not entirely surprising given that wuhan was, of course, where the virus originated. Also the picture continues to look grim in the city. They have reported more than 13,000 cases including 545 deaths. Thats the overwhelming majority of the global death toll. Thats probably why the authorities there continue to implement these increasingly draconian measures. The latest we have heard is now theyre requiring every citizen in the city, nine million remain in the city, every one has to report their body temperature to local officials on a daily basis. If you dont do so voluntarily, officials and police will be knocking on your door. Amara and victor . Thank you so much. Right now, thousands are trapped on three cruise ships in asia over fears of coronavirus cases on board. One is being blocked from docking. Two others are under quarantine including the diamond princess cruise ship in japan. 64 passengers have tested positive for the carolinas including 13 americans. Cnns will ripley is in yokohama, japan, where the ship is docked now. Give us the latest on whats happening there. Reporter well, we have hundreds of american citizens, victor, who at this moment are on these various ships basically in limbo. Theyre not able to go home. Certainly in the case of the ship here in yokohama, the 400plus americans, many would like to go home but cant because theyre under quarantine because of the coronavirus outbreak. The number of cases did increase slightly overnight from 61 to 63. That, of course, welcome news after the number tripled the previous day. So at this stage now, people are continuing what theyve been doing now for the last several days. Theyre quarantined in their cabins, trying to make the best of the situation. Despite reassurances from officials that the coronavirus is not airborne, still are concerned about breathing in air thats circulated around the ship. With each day that passes, if the number of cases does not continue to escalate rapidly, then theres a light at the end of the tunnel for the passengers here in yokohama because the quarantine should end by february 19th or february 20th. As for the other ships, theres a ship off the coast of japan thats been denied entry here, denied in taiwan. They dont know what theyre going to do. They dont have a coronavirus outbreak. But they visited areas deemed risky including hong kong and mainland china. The ship that is in hong kong quarantined in the same situation. Passengers a previous cruise tested positive for coronavirus. Now everybody on the ship has to wait out a mandatory 14day quarantine to make sure there are no outbreaks on that vessel. A frustrating for people who paid a lot of money for a dream vacation that turned into kind of a nightmare. Frustrating but also worrying. Thank you so much, will ripley. There may be no city reeling more from the coronavirus outbreak and the stigma tied to it than wuhan. Those with a connection to the chinese city like our next guest wants us to remember that its more than just the epicenter of have virus. Uli yang is a former cnn producer from wuhan and has family under lockdown. She writes, the virus brings death and fear. People see the infection spread borders, and they grow afraid for their children, parents, for themselves, but the virus also reveals an amazing truth that were all interconnected. So much more closely than we might have thought. Yuli yang now from hong kong. Yuli, its great to see you. Its funny because a few days ago you and i were messaging on facebook, and i was telling you how moved i was by many of your posts. Well talk about that in a moment. Lets start on a personal note. You have family in wuhan, including your mother. Tell us how they are doing, and also you have a family friend who recently succumbed to the virus. Reporter thats right. Thank you so much for having meam. For the past two weeks, i talked to my family every day. I talked to my mom on the phone every day to make sure theyre okay. My mom is just wanting to make sure that i dont get too worried about her situation, as you can imagine for a mom. This past two weeks, whats supposed to be the best two weeks of the year is what you live for, is the chinese new year. Its a time for celebration, for gifts, for dinner parties, for reunions. Its like christmas. But for us, christmas is canceled because of this virus. And my family having living under lockdown for the past two weeks, and i would say that for my family, this has been the most gloomy chinese new year. Definitely, i can imagine that. You also talked about an aunt, you had been messaging but had not heard back from her. That was my moms family friend actually. Were not related, but she grew up with my mom. And my mom has mentioned to me recently that she has sadly passed away. And it all happened so suddenly that my mom told me she was still messaging her, trying to find out some information about the virus from her just recently. And then my mom heard from other friends that this friend of hers passed away because of the virus. Im sorry. Im sorry, yuli. Regarding some of the posts you had on facebook, there was one that particularly struck a chord with me, and that was one about the concerns about peoples prejudices against asians, people of asian descent, the fears that are spreading, misinformation. All of this kind of reawakening prejudices, some of them centuries old against Chinese People or just people of asian descent. Tell me about your biggest concerns and what the reaction has been that youve seen so far. My biggest concern is that obviously the virus is right with us right now. It is going to pass. Everyone has been mentioning each other this, too, shall pass. Im worried whenever the virus is gone, the damage of description is going to continue discrimination is going to continue. And this is the discrimination against wuhaners, against Chinese People or people who remotely look chinese, its happening all around us. Its absolutely understandable actually. This is what happens when you have a combination of fear and ignorance. And its its whats important i guess is what we are going to do about it. What were going to do about it. The opposite of ignorance is knowledge. Thats why i wanted to share a few of my favorite things about wuhan so people can know the city is not just about virus. Lets talk about that. Its important that you raise awareness and that you combat this ignorance. You know, i do want to mention, i mean, just anecdotally ive been hearing about college campuses, people admitting they are just wholesale avoiding asian classmates because theyre afraid they might have the coronavirus. A few days ago you see berkeley had issued a statement and retracted it thatzi citizen toea is a norm xenophobia is a normal response. Its not a normal response. There are so many things about the virus that we should know. Yes, thank you. Some of my favorite things about my hometown is, for example, we have this amazing noodle dish that has the texture of spaghetti. Its soaked in rich sesame sauce and sometimes has spring onions sprinkled on them. Its very delicious. Its not gluten free, but its vegetarian. We have a ton of lakes. In the summer theyre filled with lotus flowers, its very good for your instagram accounts. We also have dont forget for all the amazing sports fans out there, we have the tennis champion li nah. She is a real fighter. What i wanted to share with people through that post is that for fighters, they cannot win any battle by themselves. They need support around them. Right now people in wuhan, they are fighting this virus, and they need us, people all around wuhan, around the world to give them that support so that we can all heal collectively as a species. Youve been rallying people to show support with gowuhan to twitter. You can write a digital card by visiting gowuhan. All the best to you and strength in the coming days and weeks. Thank you. Still to come, the 2020 Democratic Candidates go after iowa frontrunners mayor Pete Buttigieg and senator Bernie Sanders. This was a conscientious debate. Who came out on top .

President trump is feeling emboldened by his acquittal and appears to be looking for revenge against the people who spoke out against him. The president dismissed Lieutenant ColonelAlexander Vindman, the top ukraine expert at the National Security council and recalled gordon sondland, u. S. Ambassador to the European Union. Both testified against trump in his olympimpeachment inquiry. The president said to be flushing out the pipes. Colonel vindman was escorted out by security. Theres been a swift and strong condemnation from democrats. What more can you tell us . Reporter thats right. And President Trump clearly wasting no time after the end of his impeachment trial, ridding his administration of officials who broke with him during that trial, dismissing those two key witnesses. Yesterday, Alexander Vindman now reassigned from the National Security council, was a participant on that nowinfamous july 25th phone call between President Trump and ukrainian president zelensky. And vindman spoke up first internally at the time about concerns over what he heard on that call and later testified to house investigators about what he saw as the president s efforts to pressure the ukrainian president to investigate the bidens in burisma. And gordon sondland, now former ambassador to the European Union was deeply involved in the president s efforts with regards to ukraine. He testified extensively about the president s personal interest in those political investigations and also testified that the president s pursuit of those investigations was widely known within the white house. Take a listen to some of that testimony. Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret. Everyone was informed via email on july 19th, days before the president ial call. Reporter in a statement, sondland said that he was informed on friday that it was the president s intention to recall him from that post, ambassador to the European Union. And sources tell cnn that vindman was bracing for the possibility that he would be removed from his detail on the nsc since he testified publicly. He was not due to be transferred from this position until summer. Obviously his detail ended early. And his removal came hours after President Trump told reporters that he was not pleased with vindmans continued service on the nsc. Take a listen. Reporter mr. President , would you like to see Alexander Vindman out of your white house . Do you want alexander im not happy with him. You think im supposed to be happy with him . Im not. Reporter of course these removals come against the back drop of President Trump striking a vindictive toecne in the wakef his acquittal. There are others who left the administration in recent weeks more quietly including former ambassador marie yovanovitch. But there are still a number of officials within the Trump Administration who did speak up during the Senate Impeachment trial, and their future t, thei fates unclear. What does it portend for their ten year . Thank you so much. Lets remind you now of part of Lieutenant Colonel vindmans testimony. This was during the impeachment inquiry. Listen what he said about his service to our country. Next month will mark 40 years since my family arrived in the United States as refugee. When my father was 47 years old, he left behind his entire life, and the only home he had ever known, to start over in the United States so his three sons could have a better and safer lives. Dad, im sitting here today in the u. S. Capitol talking to our elected professionals, talking to our elected professionals is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the soviet union and come to america for a better life for our family. Do not worry. Why do you have confidence to do that . Congressman, this is america. This is the country ive served and defended, that all of my brothers have served and here right matters. Right matters. Joining us to discussion, cnn National Security analyst samantha vinegran, Senior Adviser to the National Security adviser under president obama. Welcome back. Lets start here. Youve got this new right on cnn. Com about what happened with sondland and vindman and write its dangerous, theres great danger in removing nsc members like vindman who have longstanding relationships. Talk about the danger and your initial reaction to this these two dismissals. Reporter good morning. In the first instance, in my day, people were fired when they didnt do their jobs. In this case, vindman they were fired because they dutifully did theirs. They spoke out through legally protected channels to report on and to testify about the president s misdeeds and abuse of power. The message that these firings sent throughout the National Security council and the u. S. Government more broadly are that if you speak up, again through legally protected channels, there will be consequences. What that means is that people currently at the National Security council have good reason to fear what will happen to them if they report on government abuse. When i was at the nsc, if the president or official did something wrong, if you did not go to the lawyers and point out concerns, you would be reprimanded. In this case, the opposite has happened. My concern is that from an accountability perspective this is going to have a Chilling Effect on nsc employees, state department employees, and others speaking out about president ial abuses. And you have to wonder, as well, from a recruitment and retention perspective what kind of people are going to be attracted to working at the National SecurityCouncil Going forward knowing that the president is unlikely to listen to their policy advice, but also that they will suffer extreme risk, again, if they speak out about any perceived wrongdoing. We should mention a detail thats been not been lost on many of us, that is the fact that vindmans twin brother has also been let go. He did not testify. He was the National Security council attorney, he didnt have much to do with the impeachment inquiry at all. Yet, theres there message being sent where you have family members being punished, as well. Reporter i think that certainly Lieutenant Colonel vindman was brother was involved in the impeachment issues to the extent to Lieutenant Colonel vindman, according to his testimony, went to his brother to share his concerns. So his brother was involved. But of course, this is the president trying to publicly humiliate a decorated war hero, Lieutenant Colonel vindman, by firing his brother, as well. It is guilt by association. And lets remember that President Trump didnt just order that Lieutenant Colonel vindman be removed from his position early he was due to cycle out this summer he had Lieutenant Colonel vindman escorted off the white house grounds by security. Most nsc directors when they leave their positions turn in their devices, their badges, do some transition with their successor. Lieutenant colonel vindman was treated like a criminal. People that are escorted off of white house grounds by security represent a risk to the security of white house personnel and white house assets. The message here was simple President Trump was trying to humiliate Lieutenant Colonel vindman, to punish him, and to deter anybody else from speaking up. Well leave it there. Thank you so much. Reporter thank you. Still to come, three days away from the New Hampshire primary, and candidates are taking jabs at iowa frontrunners Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders. Who came out on top at the debate. Were live in manchester, next. The following is a list of snow day closings due to inclement weather. All twowheel drive crossovers should close for the day. Wannabe suvs should close for the day. Regular four door sedans should close for the foreseeable future. All jeep 4x4 vehicles will remain open despite the harsh weather conditions. We stood up for the rule of law. For the america we love. Eightpointfivemillion strong banded together to impeach donald j. Trump. President trump has just been impeached on both article one, abuse of power, and on article two, obstruction of congress. And were not done yet. Senate republicans voted for a coverup. But the American People know the truth. We can stop this corruption. Join us at needtovote. Com because now. We need to vote. Need to impeach is responsible for the content of this advertising. Three days until the New Hampshire primary. As most of the candidates are making their final pitch in the granite state. Back in iowa, the state Democratic Party is giving campaigns until 1 00 today to submit evidence of inconsistencies that could require a recount of the caucuses. The candidates that came out swinging against iowa, fro frontrunners were mayor Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders. They took jabs over health care, race relations, skpfl overall elect ability. Ryan nobles is in manchester, New Hampshire, with more. What were the notable moments of the debate . Reporter you know, for a while we had wondered when we were going to see this matchup develop between Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, and the results have iowa really led to what we saw last night. They were not only the two frontrunners in terms of the incoming from some of the other candidates, but we saw the two of them attempt to draw some sharp distinctions between each other. We saw a preview of this prosecute Bernie Sanders yesterday from Bernie Sanders yesterday prior to the debate where he zeroed in on Pete Buttigiegs donor base and suggested that perhaps that would cause him undue influence on buttigieg were he to become president. We knew it was going to happen, but sanders did deliver that blow last night. Take a listen. Unlike some of the folks up here, i dont have 40 billionaires, pete, contributing to my campaign [ applause ] coming from the pharmaceutical industry, coming from wall street, and all the bigmoney interests. What we do have is we have now over six million contributions from 1. 5 Million People averaging 18. 50 a contribution. Reporter buttigieg was prepared for this. There was no doubt he knew that sanders was going to come after him on this point. Buttigieg for a long time his taken criticism over his efforts to reach out to these wealthy donors to fund his campaign. And buttigieg in the past has called for Campaign Finance reform but essentially said you cannot go into a battle with donald trump with one hand tied behind your back. That was the argument he made last night. Listen. Were facing a fundamentally new problem with president donald trump. So the biggest risk we could take at a time like this would be to go up against that fundamentally new challenge by trying to fall back on the familiar. Or trying to unite this country at a moment when we need that kind of unification, when our nominee is dividing people with a politics that says if you dont go all the way to the edge, it doesnt count. A politics that says its my way or the highway. Are you talking about senator sanders . Yes. Reporter no doubt what we saw here last night was what the polls have been telling us, this is an extraordinarily close race in New Hampshire. Perhaps Bernie Sanders has a slight edge. Theres three, maybe four candidates who have a real shot at winning here on tuesday. The other thing we saw is that the results in iowa, even though they did tell us a little about where voters stand, they really arent going to matter nearly as much as what the results in New Hampshire will on tuesday night. Because theres so much ambiguity, because we dont have a final verdict in iowa, the voters in New Hampshire will have an outsized role in this process. You saw that urgency from the candidates. They brought it to the debate stage. It will now be in the hands of the voters in New Hampshire here in the next coming days. Ryan nobles in New Hampshire. Thank you so much. Thank you. Lets bring in cnn political commentator and host of you decide podcast errol lewis. Good morning to you. Good morning, victor. Ryan is right about that. Iowa was so muddled. Youve got two campaigns claiming victory, the buttigieg and sanders campaign. Did you see anything last night that dramatically or even in some significant way changed the standing of either of the two frontrunner campaigns . No. Not really. In fact, we should really put to rest the idea that were still waiting to find out who came out on top in iowa. We know for a fact that the two were essentially in a dead heat and will get the same number of delegates. Thats then of iowa. What we saw last night was both candidates trying to make the case that theyve got momentum, that theyre going to be able to claim that they won the first two states and try and ride that momentum to something greater. In the past anybody who did manage to win iowa and New Hampshire has more or liess gon on to be the name. That goes out the window in part of the cases on in iowa. Anyone who gets the delegates can ride it to the convention under the new rules. Lets talk about the candidates trying to make a move into the top tier, the top two i guess. Washington post is reporting that elizabeth warrens campaign is pulling money out of nevada, out of South Carolina, ad money at least, and trying to increase her chances in New Hampshire. Not all of the money. Her race may not be as much against the entire field as it is against Bernie Sanders. What does she have to do on tuesday . Is it to come in close third or to beat expectations with a secondplace finish . Whats her future . Shes got to make a strong showing because its a neighboring state. As we know, in southern New Hampshire, its basically the boston media market. So if she basically cant win in her own back yard, its going to really cause her a lot of problems as far as perception. She needs to or shes going to try to stop the advance of Bernie Sanders. I mean, hes also from a neighboring state. And hes wellknown to the voters of New Hampshire. If she cant come close, if shes not in the top three, if shes not, you know, hopefully from her point of view in the top two, shes going to have a very hard time making a case that she can win going forward. The idea being if you cant win in your back yard, what happens when you go to the other kind of states, what happens when you show up in north carolina, pennsylvania, texas, california, places where youre not that wellknown. Lets talk about Vice President joe biden. Listen to this seeming admission or resignation last night. I took a hit in iowa, and ill probably take a hit here. Traditionally bernie won by 20 points last time. And usually its the neighboring senators that do well. It doesnt matter this one or the next. Ive viewed the first four encounters, two primaries and two caucuses, as the starting point. Youll remember back to 2008 thengovernor romney was talking about, well, i got a silver medal here and a bronze medal there. Eventually he didnt get the nomination in 2008. What does this talk do to keep 193 to 1 13 to 17 in New Hampshire . Hes got to spin expectations. Joe biden was probably the only clear winner out of that debacle in iowa in the sense that he finished rather poorly, but we took so long to figure out the results, it didnt really, really resonate. Hes trying to set expectations. Hes really sort of laying a big marker and putting all of his chips on South Carolina where he has an 18point lead as of now. Now, if he cant meet that expectation, then hes going to have a real serious problem. Right, he knows hes not going to do all that well in New Hampshire. Hes trying to sort of spin expectations. You know, the problem, of course, is that at some point youve got to win. If you keep saying that, well, wait until the next one, wait until this, wait until that, and then that day never arrives, youve got a real problem. Theres also, of course, the challenge of momentum. Nothing succeeds like success. And frankly, voters in South Carolina and nevada are going to be looking to see what happens in New Hampshire. It does give it an outsized weight in this contest. Does that make nevada and South Carolina mustwin, that a second place is not good enough for the former Vice President . Hes got to win both of those . No, not necessarily. Keep in mind, this is about delegates. This is a delegate hunt. People who think that they can just rack up lots of victories in lots of little states collecting delegates here and there have often find much to their consternation that they dont have what it takes to win the nomination. Joe biden knows this better than anybody. He does know, though, as well, that hes got to win something in order to show his donors that hes got a viable path to the nomination. And as long as as they continue to see him not quite placing where he should be and giving a story and giving an explanation, then the money dries up, and thats when campaigns go into a death spiral. All right. Errol lewis, couple of days, three days now until the New Hampshire primary. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Federal investigators say engine failure did not play a part in the Helicopter Crash that killed kobe bryant. Bryant, his daughter gianna and several others died when their Helicopter Crashed into a hillside near calabasas, california, last month. The ntsb has not revealed a cause of the crash, but the boards update gives new details about the investigation and whats been found. Cnns nick watt has those details. Reporter the ntsb is calling this an investigation update. This is not analysis, these are not conclusions, this is a report of the facts that they have gathered so far. Experts say it does give an indication, a roadmap of where the investigation is going. One line in particular stands out, that is viewable sections of the engines showed no evidence of an uncontained or catastrophic internal failure which suggests that engine failure has pretty much been ruled out. Peter goltz, former managing director at the ntsb. Listen to his initial reactions. If they were concerns about the equipment or anything else, it would be mentioned. In this case they focused in on the weather, they focused in on the pilots interaction with air traffic control, and in the end im afraid the spotlights going to be on the pilot and his decisionmaking. Reporter the report details the condition of that helicopter. It says there were no outstanding airworthiness directives or minimum equipment list items and inspections were to date. The pilot, age 50, had worked at the island express for ten years, no issues with his record either. There was focus on the weather. Photographs, one showing taken from a Security Camera showing the helicopter flying in heavy fog. Some eyewitness testimony, one line here, videos and photos taken by the public in the area of the accident also depict fog and low clouds obscuring the hilltops. We now also know that the last contact with controllers, the pilot said he was planning to climb to 4,000 feet to avoid cloud. He only got to 2,300 feet before making a left turn, descending, and crashing into the mihillsid. A full report might take more than a year to come out. In the meantime, we know there will be a memorial for kobe bryant at Staples Center here in los angeles monday, february 24th. Nick watt, cnn, los angeles. Thank you so much for that.

Cnn meteorologist Allison Chinchar joining us with more. Oregon is bracing for yet another round of rain and snow. They havent had much of a break really. Its been system after system. Not just for oregon but washington state, truly since the beginning of the year. Theyve had nonton stms coming through. Youll reach where the ground cant take it in. It was a combination of heavy rain but also temperatures. Look at this video. Youve got what you can see is that quick flow of that water coming down here. This is echo, oregon, to the west of pendleton. You have flood warnings in effect for a lot of this area. Look at how much rain fell in just the last three days. Just east of seattle and south of it, youre talking areas two, four, six inches of rain. This area thats east of pendleton, youre talking in excess of six inches. It wasnt just the amount of rain that fell. Its also the snow melt. Pendleton airport reporting temperatures yesterday in the 50s. So all of this snow that you see here in the background, yes, heres the water flowing. A lot of that snowfall also melts when those temperatures get that warm. It was the combination really of both that triggered a lot of issues in eastern oregon. Now that main system that caused a lot of problems, thats going to continue to shift off the east, taking with it the potential for snow to areas of the high plains and the midwest. And then the Pacific Northwest braces for yet again another storm. Heres a look at that first system as it continues to make its way off to the east.

One of our major messages here is that the ocean is suffering greatly. And that we need a lot more people to understand whats happening in the ocean and to all get in the boat together and all row in the same direction to work toward ocean health. That doesnt include just people that live on the beach. This includes people throughout the country and around the world.
