Lets get to the wicked winter storm making its way across the middle of the country. This one could cause chaos on the roads and cause major Power Outages as well. Nbcs blake mccoy is in st. Louis for us. Blake, good morning. Reporter craig, good morning. You see the light rain continuing to fall in st. Louis which could add to the ice they already seen. Check out the bush here. A coating of ice all over it. The concern with all of this ice in addition to the road concerns are that ice builds up and becomes heavy. It can begin to take down large trees and power lines. This morning, a fresh coating of ice across parts of the midwest in the midst of the threeday ice storm. In kansas, emergency crews responded to the pileup outside wichita. Followed a day of slick roads in missouri as well where cars were sent sliding off the road. In springfield, the start of the ice storm left Kendra Williams and her family without power. Water everywhere. And ice. No heat. We were all having to bundle up and try to keep all the heat we can in the house. Reporter the potentially crippling ice storm is affecting the playoff game in kansas city. Steelers and chiefs with the kickoff pushed back to 7 20 p. M. To give the storm time to pass. If you look at the weather, you look at the patterns and information we have been provided by the experts, this is the best window to not only play the game, but to commute to and from the game. Reporter out west where the storm began, more than 3 feet of of fresh snow piled up in lake tahoe. The Truckee River is swelling. In utah, officials are sharing this video of the snow plow cut off and siding 300 feet down the hill. In portland, oregon, a train slid off the track friday. Blowtorches used to melt the ice. With freezing rain coating the midwest, concern about how much ice these communities will get. A state of emergency had been declared for missouri yesterday which kept people home. Schools and businesses and government offeices were shutdon yesterday. Many businesses are set to reopen this morning as the threat of ice, the main threat, i should say, moves west into oklahoma and kansas. Craig. Blake mccoy, thank you. That snow plow. Watching that video. Unbelievable. Hard to watch. Lets bring in indra peterson. She is a look at the ice storm and where it is headed next. Look at the swath of this. From texas to midatlantic. Lets talk about numbers here. How many of you are being affected. Ice storm affecting 11 million of you. Freezing rain, 9 Million People out there. Here is what we are talking about. Freezing rain in st. Louis where you see the darker pink. In through oklahoma out to dodge city. Keep in mind, this is going to be effecting us as we go through not just today, but the weekend. There will be points in time with the temperatures right close to the freezing line. You feel the ice storm is over. Not the case. Another wave to move through. It takes a couple degrees to drop before you see ice. We have the stationary front staying in place bringing all the warm air from the gulf. They intersect. It is a shallow layer he of cof air at the surface. It falls as rain. That is the reason you are talking about a huge swath of ice which will impact millions of you. Here is what we are looking at. Really looking at the bullseye in kansas. As much of 1 inch of ice in the area. You still see the system sunday through monday. Sheinelle, craig, this will be with us a long time. Thank you. We will get to the National Forecast in a moment. To politics now. Six days left until the nation welcomes a new president , donald trump is focusing his attention on his first 100 days in office and considering dumping sanctions against russia. Meanwhile, democrats on capitol hill are furious after meeting with director james comey. One prominent civil rights figure has concerns about the president elects legitimacy. Lets go to Kelly Odonnell in new york. Reporter thank you, craig. Emotions are raw and donald trump will head to washington on monday. Just a oneday visit. Not the big move as he prepares to become president. He will find democrats there, including one of the most be he loved members are still frustrating and fuming over factors in the election including that russian interference by hacking that targeted the democratic party. Just days before getting the keys, Trumps White House chief of staff stopped into the Briefing Room friday. While at trump tower, top aides say the president elect will work through the weekend. Working on the inauguration speech. Very much focused on the 100day plan. Reporter on capitol hill, anxious members from 2016 is not over. Debbie Wasserman Schultz say she and other democrats vented frustration for his public airing of the email probe and how the bureau handled the russian hacking of officials. Exposure of the hacked emails led to her resignation as party chair. She writes, the fbi director must clarify for the American People the agencies. Meanwhile, trumps team to explain the contacts with Michael Flynn and russian officials. Officials confirm flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. On the day the Obama Administration imposed sanctions over the hacking. That call took place on the 29th of december. General flynn was asked to help set up a call after the inauguration with president putin and trump. Reporter in a brief stop before cameras, trump who met with tv host steve harvey made a passing mention about a policy goal. Repeal and replace is going great. Reporter while republicans in congress who do not have a Replacement Health care plan passed the first in a series of steps toward repeal. This provides congress with the legislative tools to repeal and replace obamacare. Reporter democrats are outrag outraged and some plan to boycott the inauguration. Including civil rights icon john lewis. It will be difficult. I dont see president elect as a legitimate president. Reporter and that is a remarkable statement from the Georgia Congress member who also told chuck todd that he will try to work with the new president , but it will be difficult. Trump talks about his relationship with russia and referred to the sanctions leaving the door open to not keeping the punishment imposed by the Obama Administration. Trump says if russia is helping us, why would anybody have sanctions. In that quote, he is referring to the desire to assist with fighting isis. So donald trump still keeping the door open. Craig. Kelly o for us. Thank you. Katelyn burns is here with us. Good morning. We heard the questioning of the legitimacy of trump. Lets talk about the meeting with the fbi director. Democrats are fuming after the meeti meeting. Can you talk about what was said . And do you think the calls for resignation, including the wall street journal editorial board. Democrats are angry at fbi director comey because they think he is not pursuing this russian hacking as it relates to donald trump with the same vigor and publicity as emails from hillary clinton. He has not said if the fbi is investigating ties with russia and possible interactions with the trump campaign. They want him to talk about that sort of thing. Whether or not these frustrations will lead to the regulsignation remains to be se. James comey has a tenyear term. Not set to retire until 2023. It depends on whether he thinks that the integrity of the fbi is at stake if more calls from republicans come remains to be seen. Lets talk about obamacare. The house and senate have taken early steps to repealing obamacare. What is the likelihood they repeal this thing without having a plan in place and how long do you think this will take . That is the concern. Even among republicans who want to repeal the law since inception are concerned about pulling the rug underneath from those 20 million americans who have insurance. The Obama Administration said enrollment is up from when he it w was last year. They are concerned about repealing without a replacement plan. Republicans have not coalesced around a single replacement plan. They are likely to try to come up with something by the end of the month. That is unlikely. We are seeing hearings in the health and Human Services nominee tom price. He is the one promoting the repeal effort. He has presented a plan. Elements where lots of lawmakers like. We will see what the grilling is like. You will hear from a lot of democrats. While republicans can repeal the law by themselves, they need democrats to implement new policy. And quickly, marco rubio. He went after tillerson over putin and human rights. Likelihood that this senator from florida will block the nominee . I think it is likely at this point. He said he has not made a decisi decision. Lets see if democrats come to his aid. A lot of content. Thank you. To a story that could have been ripped from the pages of a crime novel. An infant snatched from the Florida Hospital 18 years ago found alive in South Carolina. On friday, the woman accused of taking her and raising her as her own appeared in court. Now the teenager had a chance to speak with her biological family. Nbcs sarah dallof has the latest. Reporter this morning, the end to an 18 year mystery. The kidnapping of a baby from the hospital room in jacksonville, florida. Dna confirms kamiyah mobley, now a teenager, has been found in South Carolina living under a different name. I wake up and i believe she is waking up. Reporter kamiyah was hours old when police say she was taken by Gloria Williams who raised her. Williams was in court friday charged with kidnapping. A crime punishable by life in prison. In jail, an emotional moment when a girl who identified herself as alexis came to see her. She was abducted as a newborn. She will need time and assistance to process all of this. Reporter Officials Say williams concocted a daring scheme in 1998. Posing as a nurse and conferencing the mom to hand over her baby. Hospital staff believes williams was a relative. A reward was offered and kamiyahs mother made an emotional plea. Bring my child back. Reporter over the years, investigators received more than 2,500 tips, but the case went cold until now. We had a caller to the 24 hour hotline to share information about the abductor and where we could find kamiyah. Reporter authorities believe kamiyah was a kidnapping victim. She and williams appeared to be the typical mother and daughter to the outside world. As a family, they were always doing something. Reporter kamiyah met her biological family for the first time on video chat on friday as she comes to grips with her past. For today sarah dallof, nbc news. Lets get to the top headlines now. 1 billion settlement and three executives under indictment in the takata air bag case.

At least 11 people have been killed and more than 180 others have been injured in the u. S. By exploding air bags. In addition to agreeing to the settleme settlement, three takata executives are under indictment. Check this out. The woman on the right of the white car there, if you look closely, you see her attending to the baby and 3yearold in the backseat while a man is working on the car.

To a Major Development in the story important for millions of people across the country, including parents of children who rely on an epipen to save their lives in the event of an allergic reaction. The company that makes epipens setoff a firestorm with a massive price hike. Thanks to cvs, parents have a new alternative at a lower price. Here is nbcs tom costello. Reporter this morning, a pharmacy giant in a price war with a drug giant. Cvs emailing paying too much for epipen . It was outrage that the price hikes hit a crescendo. The medication skyrocketing. They raised the prices. The reason being, i believe, to get filthy rich at the expense of our constituents. Reporter mylan pharmaceutical ceo called before congress. We worked to make it more available. Reporter under prisessure, they announced the generic. Now cvs is trying to change the game. Their version will sell for 110. My first really bad reaction was about five years ago. Reporter in orlando, ann ryan depends on epipen when she suffers from a life threatening reaction. She is switching to cvs. It is the same lifesaving medication. I dont see the point of lining the pockets of corporate greed for buying the namebrand. Reporter the question this morning, will schools, hospitals and every day people who depend on the epipen choose the cheaper generic . We hope there are more deals like this where the price is so low they are sold directly to consumers who may not necessarily use the insurance. Reporter analysts say the cvs gentlemeric works like the epipen. For patients to get the generic, doctors need to prescribe it. Tom costello, nbc news, washington. My twins are allergic to peanuts. I got the epipens and put them in the bag and they expired. With twins, you need to get them all over the place. Are you going for the generic . Yes. Lets get back to indra. This storm is massive. It is the 11 Million People with the ice warning alone. The stretch from texas all the way in through the midatlantic today.

And indictments announced against top executives. The company has started a courtordered multibillion buy back of diesels in the country. As Kerry Sanders tells us, some vw owners are trying to get the company to pay in a way they never expected. Reporter joe mayer says his car is not much to look at. He stripped it down, but it is operable. That he says is a key word. Operable. In a Court Approved settlement, vw is buying back more than 500,000 cars. Each owner gets a payout. The documents say to get a payment, cars must be operable. And he says tooling around cincinnati is proof. The 2010 diesel gulf is operable. The day he was scheduled to bring in the car for the check, an article revealing what his car looked like ran on the web site. Vw called mayer telling him the operable car is not within the spirit of the court agreement. This is already been gone over in court. Its clearly stated that operable is the only thing that the vehicle needs to be. According to your description of operable, my vehicle more than meets that. Reporter mayer said when he stripped the car. I got a front fascia with the emblem on it. Reporter he cataloged it. Each part. Engine cover. Reporter just in case he had to put it back together again. For the moment, mayer says he plans to sell the parts on ebay for up to 5,000 and fight for the recall money from vw. I mean, it was shady what they did. A lot of people see this as me trying to like get back at volkswagen and get revenge. Reporter the federal judge is warning owners not to strip the cars. During a court hearing, vw told the judge, we think of deliberately stripping vehicles intentionally goes too far. Joe says the Consent Decree says operable. He will fight.

Im thinking about how people fall in love in Mysterious Ways and maybe its all part of a plan that is ed sheeran who has been out of the spotlight for a year. He says there is a good reason why. We will explain that in popstart. We have a solid crowd on saturday morning. 14th day of january, 2017. We have been enjoying some reasonably warm weather, but it is starting to get chilly.

Two teenagers playing near seattle on the frontal systzen the pond collapsed. They got out okay. It shows you how fast it can happen to anyone. This morning, how to get out alive if it happens to you. Frantic moments on a frozen lake in utah. This woman clinging to the ice after falling in. Trying to save her two dogs. Rescuers pulling her to safety just in time. No way you should have survived that. This teenager falling through the ice in new jersey. Rescuers finally pulling her to safety. Already this winter, new cases coast to coast. This video of a golfer going viral. Falling right through. Luckily he is rescued just in time. The golden retriever fell through the pond in illinois. It often ends in tragedy. A 6yearold boy went missing. Found dead near his home in a frozen pond in colorado. How dangerous is it . We teamed up with rescuers to show you how to save a life. Maybe even your own. With an ambulance on stand by, i walk out on the frozen pond and in an instant, im under. That is cold. Survival tip . Put your hand over your mouth and nose the moment you hit the water. If you take a breath of cold water, it shuts down your air way and you stop breathing. If i wasnt wearing the suit . If you had regular clothing, it would become heavy quickly and suck you under the ice. And once you are trapped, your chance of survival plummets. All this as your arms and legs go numb. Im a good swimmer. This is harder than i thought. I cant get a grip on the ice. Survival tip two, carry ice picks if you are walking on a frozen lake or pond. The metal spikes dig in so you can pull yourself out. They cost a few dollars at outdoor stores. Short and choppy strokes. Once you are out, you need to roll away from the hole. We are distributing our weight across the ice. What if your friend or relative falls in . Tip number three, stay on shore and try a rescue from there. Take a rope and i can throw it to the victim. A rope or branch or anything. Right . Jumper cables, anything. Tell the victim to wrap it around his wrist. We can pull them out. That way you are save and we are safe. Thats right. Staying alive when the ice breaks under you. Here is the problem. Lakes and ponds freeze in patches. On the same pond or lake, one section may have thick ice. A few feet away, dangerous thin ice. The best way is to stay off the ice. Hope it helps. Happy to be here. Happy to have you here, sir. Good advice. Jeff rossen, he is a brave guy. Up next, are you a nervous flyer .

We have seen a lot of slide offs. Good news is the weekend is here and that should help limit unnecessary travel. The other major concern with the storm as all of the ice builds up, it can cause damage because the weight of the ice can start to topple and snap trees and power lines. The Power Companies brought in extra crews from neighboring states to respond to outages more quickly. We have seen thousands of outages from missouri into oklahoma. Back out here live in st.

That is Georgia Congressman john lewis. In an interview with chuck todd asked about the relationship and the impact on the voters during the election season.

And this morning, just a few minutes ago, donald trump used twitter to respond. Congress member john lewis should spend more time on helping his district which is in horrible shape and falling apart. Then not too dot, dot, dot. So donald trump taking on the prominent member of the democratic party.
