This is the lovely lupita nyongo, who is up for best supporting actress for 12 years a slave, an amazing movie, by the way. She is really having a hard time wait until you hear how many dressed shes tried on. And i can tell you ron and i have been debating for years what are we going to wear . Hes been trying to get me into seersucker for the big how about a tshirt. A tshirt. Thats how youre going to play it . Whatever you wear, i guarantee you wont look as good as lupita does. Shes become red carpet royalty. Shes just gorgeous. Someone else we are excited to see is pink. The singer will be there, and she tweeted out her big news to her fans yesterday. Yes, she will be singing. The big question this morning, will she be flying like she did at the grammys . How is she going to outdo herself . She set a very high bar. Theres no question about that. And take a look at what we have this morning. This is one of the oscar swag bags that they hand out to celebrities. Inside, 85,000 worth of gifts. The lovely, the effervescent sara haines, a vision in white this morning, with a guided tour of the swag bag coming up. And she told me shes going to bring me a swag bag when she comes back. I hope to. She loves me that much. Yeah. We begin where the oscars will be held with that huge storm slamming california with more rain than the droughtstricken state has seen in years. The deluge causing dangerous mudslides, and our david wright has the story from glendora, california. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, bianna. Youd think that given the drought, that all this rain would be a welcome sight, but not here in glendora. Because a wildfire scorched the foothills a month ago, so here those torrential rains mean mud, lots of it. A state that has been so parched suddenly seems overwhelmed with mother nature. Rare funnel clouds in the skies, boulders hijacking highways. The sudden onslaught of rain brought hillsides into homes and transformed streets here in glendora into streams forcing many to evacuate. I dont see why i should have to evacuate. Take their word for it and get out of dodge. Reporter fourlegged friends had to be cared for too. Animal control offered a crate service. Evacuation had its challenges as did ordinary commuting. The rains caused traffic snarls and pileups across the state. Posted on facebook, this car stuck in the mud after attempting to pass. The saturation effect is starting to take over. The rivers that started with water that turned to mud now are actually coming from out of the streets. We have some severe mudflows. Reporter in the past 48 hours, california got more rain than its had in the past year. Normally the l. A. River resembles a glorified storm drain. Today it looks like the mighty mississippi. Much of the bay area are struggling too. Limited service through the tube. Reporter with rain wiping through Public Transit computer systems, creeks crashing into backyards. Some fled their homes in a hurry leaving prized possessions behind. I didnt know all this debris was going to be coming down. Reporter the rain is set to continue through tonight, and cleanup is many days ahead. The forecast does call for intermittent showers today but the good news, the heavy stuff, well, it should be gone tomorrow and otherwise at the big event out on that red carpet the accessories of choice may be an umbrella and a good set of galoshes, dan. Galoshes on the red carpet. I like the way that sounds. David, thank you for your reporting this morning. This thing is moving east and turning into a major snow and ice event. Look at this. Three people caught in an avalanche in montana. It buried their house. Now the system is barreling towards some major american cities, and abcs alex perez is in chicago with the latest. Alex, good morning to you. Reporter hey, good morning, dan. Relentless. This will go down as the third coldest and third snowiest winter chicago has ever seen. The shivering doesnt seem to stop. Snow and ice wreaking havoc across the midwest this morning. Its terrible. Its terrible. Its not fit for man or beast. Reporter in missoula, montana, a massive avalanche damaged several homes friday prompting a townwide search and rescue that dug out three people from the wreckage. He just said theres an 8yearold buried underneath some snow. There was an avalanche. Grab a shovel. Reporter all three found alive rushed to local hospitals. Those remaining behind now left to dig out their town. In michigan, firefighters battled the elements. Guys are getting froze up and they have to sit in the trucks to thaw out again. Reporter this winter has been treacherous for driving. The icy conditions are making cars lose control and causing accidents on the highways. One in minnesota yesterday taking the lives of three college students. For commuters and residents parking conditions are quickly becoming a nightmare giving us all a hard start to what should be the last month of winter. And the chicago area has seen more than two months this season of temperatures below freezing and there is more cold and more snow headed for parts of the midwest in the next few days. Bianna. What should be the last month of winter is the operative word there that he chose. Exactly. And those dreaming of warmer weather on the first day of march, well, it looks like were going to have a long way to go. Lets see our spring countdown clock. It says 18 days. We can only hope. We need to cue some sort of pastoral music. Yeah, the birds flying. Sort of cinderella. I would be so excited not to be here right now. Especially in new york. Were not going to see any butterflies in new york today, but we will see somebody were happy to see. Shay ryan from our tampa affiliate, yet another floridian weve dragged up here to the cold. Our affiliate wfts joining us this morning. Shay, im so sorry, but we love having you here. Thank you and im glad to be here. I just wish i could have brought the warm air with me. Unfortunately, theres more cold air, more Winter Weather to come, and its all starting with this system weve been talking about in california. Take a look at this area of low pressure, and it is again winding down, yet its still packing a punch this morning with tornado warnings in effect in the los angeles area. And as you can see, its going to continue to bring more rain today, some gusty winds, as well. Were still looking at anywhere from about 1 to 2 inches of additional rainfall from San Francisco on south into san diego, and as we take a look at how this system, once it winds down, then it turns into our winter storm, so, again, it picks up with this cold front, and this is where it continues to move across kansas city bringing heavy snow into new york, as well. Were talking widespread, 4 to 8 inches of snow. Ill have more on that bitter cold that is going to continue to sink in with this next system. Dan and bianna. Thank you very much for that. We appreciate it. A lot of other news overnight. So lets check the top stories with mr. Ron claiborne. Hi there. Dan and bianna, sara, good morning, everyone. The faa is investigating another incident involving a green laser being pointed directly into the cockpit of an airplane. The pilot of a charter plane was taking off from hanscom field at 7 00 last night when he reported the incident. Listen to this recording of the air Traffic Controllers as they received the call. Unauthorized laser illumination event three miles west, altitude unknown. And the faa is investigating several laser incidents across the northeast that occurred in just the past week. And in another airplane incident, this time involving birds, the pilot of an American Airlines flight bound for washington, d. C. From dallas had to make a quick return to dallas ft. Worth airport friday night. According to the faa, a flock of birds apparently hit the aircraft or vice versa during takeoff causing the pilot to declare an emergency. The plane landed safely with no reported injuries. And were getting now an inside look at just how the notorious mexican drug lord, Joaquin El Chapo guzman, managed to elude authorities for 13 years. Mexican investigators searched seven homes that he owned, and in each one of them, he had a movable bathtub leading to escape tunnels. They also found security cameras in every room. Guzman was arrested last saturday in a mexican resort town. Hes being held at a maximum security prison. And oscarwinning actor Philip Seymour hoffman died of a toxic mixture of drugs and prescription medication. According to the new york city medical examiner, hoffman died from a mix of heroin, cocaine and amphetamines. He was found dead inside his manhattan apartment with a needle in his arm. Investigators found 50 packets of heroin inside his home. Well, finally there is dancing in the streets of brazil, and that can only mean one thing, the worlds biggest party, carnival. Its kicked off. Millions of people from across the globe flocking to the south american nation to watch samba parades filled with dancing and vibrant costumes. The fiveday celebration goes on until fat tuesday. I have a feeling some of those millions are doing more than watching samba parades. What do you think . What do you think theyre doing exactly . Imbibing among other things, a little dancing, a little partying, the kind of things we would do if we were there. Too bad we didnt get that assignment. Rons imagination running wild. Yeah. Thank you, ron. Now to the crisis overseas, one that some fear could pull in the United States. There are fastmoving and mysterious developments on the ground in ukraine. Who are the armed men taking up position in the crimea . Thats a region close to russia, and is this the beginning of a russian invasion . Abcs Alex Marquardt is in crimea with the latest. Alex, good morning. Reporter good morning, dan. Indeed, fastmoving and dramatic developments here this morning. You can see some of the prorussia fervor right here behind me. The prorussian Prime Minister here has said he is in control of the police and the army. He has asked russian president Vladimir Putin to intervene in crimea, a request the kremlin says it will not ignore stoking fears of a major escalation. They are unmistakable, Russian Military vehicles, a convoy of russian marines now operating on the roads of ukraines crimea. A blatant show of force by russia fueling fears they plan to invade as ukraine accuses russia of bringing in thousands of troops. Highly professional prorussia armed units have taken control of crimeas parliament and airports. These guys are patrolling quietly all around the airport. Theyre not being aggressive. We dont know who they are. In fact, theyre not saying anything, and they have no identifying patches. What is clear is that they are on the side of russia and are rejecting the new ukrainian government. Crimea may technically be a part of ukraine, but culturally and ethnically it is mostly russian. Crimea did not support the uprising in the capital kiev, and many here would like to see it become part of russia. Russia is already in crimea with bases for its black sea fleet and around 15,000 troops. But president obama on friday issued a harsh warning against any further military action. The United States will stand with the International Community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in ukraine. Reporter russias actions echoed the buildup to the 2008 war with its southern neighbor georgia. Now moscow is vowing to defend its facilities and its people in crimea, but has told u. S. Officials it would respect the sovereignty of ukraine. Even if the Russian Military doesnt deploy its own forces, its clear that its allies already have and are quickly taking control of crimea. So the big question now is how will ukraine and the rest of the world respond . Bianna. Thats right. A lot of analysts calling this a global chess match between the two president s. Our thanks to you, alex. Well, were going to turn now to medical news and concern about a new painkiller that is ten times more potent than vicodin and is said that it could kill with just two pills. Zohydro is set to hit the market early this month, but drug experts, addiction experts are worried that it could trigger a huge jump in overdoses and death. Theyre urging the fda to reconsider its approval. Lets bring in chief health and medical editor dr. Richard besser in. Can you tell us more about this drug . Is it really as potent as these experts are warning . This is strong. Zohydro is straight hydrocodone which is a very strong narcotic and what were seeing playing out here is a real battle within the medical community between those doctors who take care of people with chronic pain and those who are concerned about addiction. There are millions of people with chronic pain and the fda says this gives them another tool for people who werent being well handled by the existing drugs. The addiction community is very concerned because prescription pain medications are the gateway to heroin. Theyre the gateway to opiod addiction, and theyre very concerned not about whether this will work for the pain patients but that its going to get diverted to people who are going to use it for Recreational Purposes and lead to death. A gateway of sorts. Thats right. Thats right. One of these experts said this drug will kill as soon as it is released. Can you talk about how easily accessible it is and the different ways people can use it and abuse it . Yeah, i mean, the drug we always talked about was oxycontin which was diverted very regularly. Thats now been reformulated so its hard to crush and if you snort it, its unpleasant. This drug is not in that preparation. So the concern is its going to get diverted, its going to go into the market and be used. Four out of five people who use heroin started with prescription pain meds. As we heard from Philip Seymour hoffmans death, as itll be interesting to see what the fda does decide. Theyre usually very conservative about these issues. Their own committee voted 121 that this should not be available to the community. They said its safe and effective for pain people, but theyre very concerned about the diversion. Something i know youll be following. Rich, thanks so much for coming in. Thanks, rich. A big debate this morning. And now to new images surfacing of Oscar Pistorius just days before we head into what may be one of the most watched murder trials on earth. The olympic star, sometimes phone as the blade runner, accused of killing his model girlfriend, and now were seeing pictures of the two of them just days before the shooting, and abcs lama hasan is on the story in london this morning. Lama, good morning to you. Reporter and good morning to you, dan. Well, with one female judge and no jury, this is arguably the most anticipated murder trial in south africa, and as its set to begin on monday, we are learning new details about the man who is at the center of it all, Oscar Pistorius. South africa is calling it the trial of the century. The superstar sporting hero stands accused of murdering his model girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, on valentines day last year. New exclusive images obtained by sky news show Oscar Pistorius at a gun range months before the killing took place reportedly using the same gun on that fateful night and this picture showing the couple in a supermarket seemingly in love. Nicknamed the blade runner because of his prosthetic legs, pistorius has already admitted to shooting steenkamp at his home saying he mistook her for an intruder firing his weapon four times through a locked toilet door and killing her. The issue, was it murder . Did he intend to kill her . His defense is it was a mistake and a reasonable person could have made the same mistake. Fair enough, but thats a tough defense. Reporter pistorius says hes kept a gun under his bed for security. Hes always maintained it was all a tragic accident. The prosecution argues the shooting was deliberate. Considering that Oscar Pistorius shot his own girlfriend in his own home multiple times, you would think it might be a victory for them if the judge only convicts him of the lesser crime of culpable homicide meaning it was a negligent shooting. Reporter well, his defense team is leaving no stone unturned hiring u. S. Firm Evidence Room which specializes in producing animations of crime scenes and also turning to forensic scientist henry lee who as youll recall gave evidence during the o. J. Simpson trial. Now, the Oscar Pistorius trial is expected to last up to six weeks. Most of it will be televised. Dan and bianna. Of course, the world will be watching. Lama, thank you. Well, on a lighter note, were going to turn to our countdown to oscar sunday, just one day away from hollywoods biggest night, and the excitement is building, i would say, very fast. Yeah, theyre in the middle of furious rehearsals right now, presenters working out their preshow jitters and were told that some of the vocal performances are so powerful, that theyre bringing people to tears. Abcs Chris Connelly got inside access, and he joins us live from hollywood. Chris, did you cry . You know, i was verklempt. I was verklempt. Good morning, guys.

She said we need to understand that these people are scared to death. Thats why were not going to do all the comedy up front and as people are more and more nervous as the night goes on, she can relax them.

Reporter the actor now playing the amazing spiderman will figure prominently. Theres going to be a new superhero that is inducted into the fraternity of superheroes. Reporter how did you get bette midler who has never performed on the oscars before . We just wanted bette on the show. We went to rehearsals the other day, and she has you in tears. Reporter a super tight best picture race will cause some excitement too. What makes this statue different from all other statues . That is the mt. Olympus of awards. Thats something that i hope everybody aspires to do. Reporter so pink will sing. Bette midler will sing. I, on the other hand, will not. Good news for everyone here from the red carpet, guys.

Take a look at buffalos windchill this morning. 10 is what it feels like as youre stepping out the door. Now lets take a look at this amazing video, and its from niagara falls, and you can see it is just covered in sheets of ice.

You can see singledigit temperatures now. Now were talking about overnight lows, not even the windchill, so this is going to be lasting at least into tuesday, possibly beyond, so theres no significant warmup in sight and not to, you know, insult, give you insult to injury, but take a look at beautiful florida.

Good morning, everyone. In the news we begin with the escalating tension in ukraine where proRussian Military, militia group, that is, are reportedly in control of the three main civilian airports in the strategic region of crimea. This comes after president barack obama warned moscow there would be costs if it intervenes militarily in ukraine. Back at home, four were shot at a tax preparers business in detroit. Police say that a 19yearold girl became upset that the preparer did not have her refund th opened fire. Four employees were wounded. One of them critically. The man and woman are in custody. And 28 people from five states that were arrested in a 21 million Insurance Fraud scheme allegedly involving former new York City Police and firefighters, that is in addition to 106 people arrested last month. The suspects are accused of fraudulently collecting years worth of disability benefits for posttraumatic stress that they claimed was caused by the september 11th attacks in new york city.

That is what its called, teaching her to follow a target. In this case a purple ball and touch it with her nose.

They get a lot larger than that when theyre full grown, bianna. I shouldnt get one. No, dont get one for jake. Its only 6 months old now so theyre going to get really big. Yeah, really big. Conservation authorities may have something to say about that. Lets get back to the weather now and meteorologist shay ryan from wfts in tampa. Good morning once again. Good morning, and even though the system in california is winding down, its still packing a punch, in fact, weve had a confirmed report of oneinch diameter hail in eastern los angeles in the walnut area. Now, the good news with this system is that it is well timed as far as the oscars go, but you can see still 1 to 2 inches of snow or that would be rainfall coming down anywhere from San Francisco on south, but, again, for the oscars, itll be drying out. Theres a chance for a shower early tomorrow morning, otherwise, partly cloudy skies, temperatures a little below average, so were talking highs near 60 degrees. It should be in the upper 60s but as that storm continues to track east, this is where its going to pack a serious punch of Winter Weather. You can see the watches, warnings and advisories already in place. We talked about the snow. Theres also a band of ice from springfield on east into louisville and, again, were looking at quarter inch of snow possibly higher in some places. Now lets take a look at your weather closer to home. And this Weather Report was brought to you by home depot. Dan and bianna. Thank you, shay.
