palestine residents to share their concerns and anger with those they hold responsible for the toxic train crash and the fallout. i am angry. angry about this. and i m disgusted that we lost it. i don t feel safe in this town now. you took it away from me. you took it away from us. your company stinks. i hear you. i am terribly sorry this has happened to this community. from payments to residents, to cleanup operations along with testing air, water and soil, norfolk southern president, alan shaw listed short-term and long-term commitments to east palestine but that did not stop the barrage of criticism. we could have been warned, and thank god there were no casualties, no loss of life, no loss of buildings. i understand the anger and i have experienced it.
live. there is 100 yards where they have sort of another dam of this material to soak up the toxic material. epa expects in the next few days to have the comprehensive plan to be signed off on by the epa and ohio and pennsylvania. and all entities say they will not be here for weeks or months, but for years to clean up this mess. is this just one scene playing out in the area? this is just one. all over town there are these sort of cleanup operations where they have hoses cleaning the water out and pushing it back in to stir it out and capture all the toxins this is happening throughout the area. all right, thank you. straight ahead we ll speak to the epa administrator, michael
moscow next. happening right now, historic winter storm is pummeling bringing heavy winds snow and ice after slamming the rockies. we ll take you live to minneapolis. also this morning, the epa has now ordered norfolk southern to play for all cleanup operations related to the toxic chemical spill triggered by a train derailment in ohio earlier this month. we ll tell you which major political figures are heading to east palestine today. president biden is wrapping up a high stakes trip to europe as tensions continue to escalate between the u.s. and russia. this morning the president reacted to vladimir putin s decision to suspend participation in the last remaining arms control agreement between the u.s. and russia, calling it a big mistake. his response came hours after
yore ministry are extremely important in this point in time serving the country in important ways. in fact, three-point some area in and around kyiv especially that we went into with the national police right as russian forces had pulled off. they were the first ones to see to it that there was law and offend and do certain cleanup operations to go into houses so it s an extremely important force and, of course, also an importantly position and this interior minister specifically was definitely someone who was on the rise, who himself was again on the front lines very, very often visiting troops, visiting police forces that were serving there so this is a big, big blow to ukraine and then also, of course, to its president. he was also close to volodymyr zelenskyy as well, john. fred pleitgen live for us on the scene of this tragedy, fred, thank you. it is critically important to have someone with the experience of fred and his crew at delicadel
solutions. it is time to choose the latter. i have been on this committee a long time. we have seen d. o. e. make these promises before, with regards to cleanup operations. what exactly does it mean that d. o. e. s environmental management office does not follow leading management practices. anybody that has been on this job site should be fired. they are not doing their job. right where his hands hurts, it sits on the columbia river, where does the savannah side set, sits on the savannah site. these are areas that are environmentally sensitive. i am not a nuclear engineer, but i am a mom and a citizen and i can tell you that leaving it out there longer, waiting for some type of accident. it is not making our constituents across this country safer. we need to do better in programming and project management. and i think we can do better.
