the situation is so desperate, they ve called in the national guard to help dig them out. in the meantime, a russian tanker is struggling to deliver much-needed fuel as well. dan springer is tracking the story live from seattle. lots of issues up in alaska, dan. reporter: oh, i tell you, jenna, you know, alaska conditions are a hearty group, i ve been up there a lot, and they re used to extreme weather, but this is absolutely ridiculous. cordoba is close to setting a record for the all-time snowiest winter, and they have three more months of winter to go. they already set a record in november and december. the biggest problem right now is rain which is making that snow heavier on rooftops and turning the streets into a slushy lake. several roofs have collapsed from the weight of 15 feet of snow. the national guard is helping clear roads, homes, roofs with special shovels and heavy equipment, but it is a slow grind. they re also on hand to respond in case there s a major

that both the afghan government, and the international community must see the insurgents renounce violence, break with al-qaida, and support the laws and constitution of afghanistan, including protecting the rights of women and minorities. reporter: now, all kind of other hurdles beyond what secretary clinton just laid out. you also have the fact that president hamid karzai is to say the least a wildcard in all of this. no one ever really knows what he s going to do, and whether he would sign off on this. also in terms of the taliban wanted prisoners to be released from the u.s. military prison at guantanamo, that would obviously be very, very controversial, and the u.s. would have to walk very delicately in these negotiations before just letting those prisoners out, jon. jon: many questions ahead. ed henry at the white house. jenna: tensions exnighting now between the west and iran. there is a lot of big questions about whether or not there is a
