some really concern -- concerning images, as you can see here, from the streets of tampa. many people crowded together, this weekend, with very few masks. and there are concerns super bowl parties could lead to a spike in cases. this, as the u.s. has surpassed 27 million known cases of coronavirus. and now, the new worries about the covid variants, first identified in the uk. a new study finds cases of this variant are increasing, rapidly, here, in the u.s., and significant community spread may, already, be happening. now, president joe biden calls the pandemic a, quote, national emergency. and criticized his predecessor's handling of it. take a listen. >> a disappointment was when we came into office is the circumstance relating to how the administration was handling covid was even more dire than we thought. the trump administration. we thought that it indicated there were a lot more vaccine available. and it didn't turn out to be the case. so, that's why we've ramped up everywhere we can. >> and while battling the pandemic remains a key priority, u.s. lawmakers are, now, gearing up for this historic moment. a second impeachment trial of donald trump, which is set to begin on tuesday. now, the senate will have to decide whether mr. trump is guilty of inciting a mob of his supporters, resulting in that deadly riot at the u.s. capitol, last month. but democrats, holding only a slim majority, it seems, very likely, that mr. trump will be acquitted for a second time. joe johns has more from the capitol. joe. >> reporter: some republicans in the united states senate say they are reserving judgment, until all the evidence is in. some compare themselves to members of a jury. but for whatever reason, many republicans, over the weekend, said they were reluctant to convict donald trump, in this trial, that is expected to begin on tuesday. they are well aware of all the support the former president has out in the country, even though some of the latest polling suggests quite the opposite. an abc news poll says 56% of respondents believe the former president should be convicted, and barred from holding office. while only 43% say he should not be. but it's not up to the respondents of polling. it's up to the senate. and here's what some of them said over the weekend. >> if you believe he committed a crime, he can be prosecuted, like any other citizen. impeachment is a political process. we've never impeached a president, once they're out of office. i think this is a very bad idea. >> zero chance of conviction. 45 republicans have said it's not even a legitimate proceeding so it's really over, before it starts. >> do you think the outcome is predetermined here? >> you know, everybody -- no, i don't. i think it depends upon that, which is presented. let's face -- let's face it. the house did an incredibly poor job of building a case before their impeachment vote. if -- the -- the -- the president wasn't there. he wasn't allowed counsel. they didn't amass evidence. >> i think it is constitutional. i think it's clearly constitutional to conduct a senate trial, with respect to an impeachment. in this case, the impeachment occurred prior to the president's leaving office. but, you know, my job is going to be to listen to both sides of this. evaluate the arguments and make a decision. >> so, the leadership watch continues here on capitol hill. all eyes on senate-majority leader, chuck schumer, and senate-minority leader, mitch mcconnell, to release the parameters of this upcoming trial. how long they expect it to last, whether there will be witnesses or not. how long the impeachment managers, as well as the former president's lawyers, will get to address the members of the united states senate and make their cases. joe johns, cnn, the capitol. >> thanks, joe, for that. hot on the heels of being censured by her own party, liz cheney says she is not resigning. now, the number-three ranked house republican has been facing calls to step down, ever since she voted to impeach then-u.s. president donald trump for his role in inciting that capitol riot. cheney is sticking up for her vote and she warns her party should not embrace lies from the former president. >> we're going to have a lot of work we have to do. people have been lied to. the -- the extent to which the president, president trump, for months, leading up to january 6th, spread the notion that the election had been stolen or that the election was rigged was a lie. and -- and people need to understand that. >> well, president biden is calling the continuing-coronavirus pandemic a, quote, national emergency. in an interview with cbs, he talked about a host of topics, ranging from the nearly $2 trillion relief package he is trying to get through congress, to his predecessor's handling of this pandemic. and regarding the nation's schools, the president says, while he will work to get them open within his first hundred days in office, he will rely on guidance from health experts. >> do you think it's time for schools to reopen? >> i think it's time for schools to reopen, safely. safely. >> parents can expect to hear from the cdc, this week, on the safe reopening of schools. arlette saenz has more from wilmington, delaware. arlette. >> reporter: in an interview, ahead of the super bowl, president biden reiterated his commitment to reopening schools, safely, amid the coronavirus pandemic. the president said his cdc director would be laying out guidelines for reopening schools, as early as wednesday. and he said that the country is currently in a national emergency. take a listen. >> let's turn to schools. >> sure. >> reporter: about 20 million american children have not been in the classroom for nearly a year. there is a mental-health crisis happening. >> there really is. >> reporter: women are dropping out of the workforce. is this a national major? >> it is a national emergency. it genuinely is a national emergency. >> reporter: with the senate impeachment trial to former president trump set to get under way this week, the white house says president biden will focus his attention on promoting the covid relief package he wants to pass on capitol hill. and the president will virtually tour a vaccination center, on monday. arlette saenz, cnn, wilmington, delaware. well, joining us now, with his perspective on the impeachment trial, thomas gif, the director of the ucla center on u.s. politics. thanks for joining us. i do want to talk about the impeachment because it's going to, certainly, be a huge week in american politics. as you expect to watch what is going to play out from congress over the coming days, what are you going to be watching for? any surprises? >> well, i really don't think that there are going to be any surprises. i continue to think that the odds of trump being convicted in the trial are close to zero. republican senators have an easy-exit option here. if they want, they can simply sidestep the merits of the case, and rationalize a vote to acquit based on the disputed claim that impeachment can't apply to a former president. at the end of january, we saw 45 senators vote to render the trial unconstitutional, on those grounds. i think that that takes a lot of the suspense out of it. even though democrats struck down that proposal, there is nothing stopping republicans from continuing to glom onto that procedural argument. so, questioning the constitutionality of the trial is really the safe harbor here for republicans. they can tell trump supporters that they voted not guilty. but they don't actually have to put themselves in a position where they are defending trump's actions. it's convenient, and i think it's why this trial really has an air of inevitability to it. >> but still, we are seeing some pretty interesting polls what americans want on this impeachment. they are quite stunning because they show that -- i want to bring up some of the numbers here. there we go. 56% of people want mr. trump to be convicted, which will mean it bars him from office again. this is similar to a poll earlier on in january, as well. i mean, statistically, these numbers mean that -- that would, also, include millions of people actually voted for mr. trump in 2020. what do they tell you? >> exactly, robyn. there are millions of americans, who cast their ballot for trump on november 3rd, who now, apparently, no longer think that he is fit for office. that's news, for sure, especially for a president whose base has been so stubbornly supportive of him amid prior-political challenges. at the same time, we shouldn't lose sight of the very clear partisan split here. the huge majority of republican voters are backing away from trump, even though, maybe, some are. and depending on the poll, about 80% or so want to see an acquittal. that won't be enough to force a broad-political recoil among republican senators, i don't think. it's also worth pointing out that trump's defense team really hasn't been front and center, waging a pr battle during the last few weeks. and it's possible that the polls could shift, at least slightly, once the trial gets under way. that's especially true, since trump's approval numbers actually went up, rather than down, at the start of the first impeachment trial. but still, the numbers that you are showing are, certainly, notable. >> so, with that in mind, does the coming impeachment trial or just the publicity around it, the fact we haven't heard from him, he is off twitter. does that create more leverage for the former president to really own the party, ahead of the midterms? or -- or does -- does this relitigation of this very traumatic moment in american history help to silence him, politically, for -- for many republicans who would like that and democrats? >> well, it's a great question, robyn. i think that the default answer is to say the trial will further inflame polarization. democrats will feel aggrieved. they will sense trump wasn't held accountable for the role he played in the capitol insurrection. and not only that, the fact acquittal will be result of procedural rather than substantive argument, that is, that republican senators insisting impeachment can't be applied to former presidents. trump, by contrast, will certainly spin his acquittal as something that it's not, an exoneration. that will embolden his supporters. it'll keep trump in the spotlight. i think, most of all, it will allow donald trump to kind of dangle at least a possibility of a 2024 run over the gop. so, all in all, democrats may think that impeachment was the only option here because, as a principle matter, to not pursue it would be to enable a culture of impunity. but ultimately, impeachment really is a political process. and it's unclear to me that this will be a clear, political win for democrats. >> so, democrats. what about president biden? politically, he -- he, obviously, wants to focus on getting his administration on top of the covid pandemic. what are the implications for him over the next few days as this impeachment takes front and center? >> well, joe biden really has been fairly ambivalent about this entire process. and to a large extent, he's relegated some of the decision-making to nancy pelosi. i think, all in all, he's fairly indifferent about what's going to unfold in the next couple of weeks. i think, he really is focused on his agenda, getting through his covid-relief bill. and getting onto the business of the nation. i do think that this impeachment trial has the possibility of distracting potentially from his agenda. and it's not surprising that, maybe, all else -- biden wishes this wasn't looming over his first hundred days. >> thomas gift, as always, thanks so much for bringing your expertise and perspective. thank you. >> thanks, robyn. so you can catch our special, live coverage of donald trump's second impeachment trial throughout the day on tuesday right here, of course, only on cnn. now, america's premiere-sporting event has wrapped up with tampa bay buccaneers dominating the kansas city chiefs in the super bowl. quarterback, tom brady, i mean, what a legend. clinched his seventh championship, overall. he, also, won the most-valuable player award, for the fifth time. but because of the pandemic, the game was played in front of a limited crowd, as coy wire now explains. coy. >> reporter: super bowl lv was one like we've never seen before. 25,000 fans in the stands. 7,500 of them, vaccinated health-care workers. brought in by the league, all-expenses paid, as a thank you. there were 30,000 cut-out fans which had many at home thinking the stadium was nearly full. the legend of tom brady continues. 201 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. two of his touch downs to former patriots teammate rob g gronkowski. now, the high-powered chiefs were held to a season-low nine points. no touchdowns. the bucs' defense were dominant sacking super star qb patrick mahomes three times, intercepting him twice. mvp goes to brady. his fifth time winning the award. giving him more than any franchise in nfl history. if there was any doubt before, tom brady is the greatest of all time. coy wire, from super bowl lv in tampa, florida. >> he is, isn't he, coy? and also, we have been watching this. the good news on the pitch but, also, off the pitch. hundreds of fans pack the streets of tampa to celebrate the big game. but now, experts are worried the large crowds could lead to even more covid infections. we'll have the latest on that, next. plus, astrazeneca's covid vaccine is temporarily suspended in south africa. why experts are worried about the protection it offers. we have that story, too. my audible library is just like scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll, it's a lot. i downloaded audible and really, really enjoyed it. and then it kind of just became a lifestyle after that.

has arrived at a courthouse to enter his plea in his corruption trial. these pictures, taken moments ago. prosecutors accuse the prime minister of abusing his position to accept and solicit gifts from wealthy friends. they, also, allege he tried to influence the media with regulatory favors. he has denied all charges. we'll continue to monitor these pictures and that case. and even as new coronavirus infections are falling in the u.s., health officials are worried about more contagious variants. now, experts say, vaccinations are one way to help contain them. according to the centers for disease control, more than 41 million vaccine doses have now been administered in the u.s. but, there are concerns. current supplies just aren't enough. >> the demand, clearly, outstrips the supply, right now. if you look at the escalation of availability of doses, purely on the ability and capability of manufacturing that, it's going toi escalate and will continue to escalate as we go from february to march, to april, and beyond. >> now, the cdc says nearly 700 cases of new variants have been reported in the u.s. the majority of those are the strain first identified in the uk. and we are following several developments on vaccination efforts, also, across the african continent. in south africa, officials have paused the rollout of the astrazeneca-coronavirus vaccine. it comes, after a study showed it offered minimal protection against mild and moderate infections from the variant, first detected in the country. officials say the rollout will be suspended, temporarily, while they figure out best way forward. >> so, it's a temporary issue that we -- we -- we -- we have to hold onto astrazeneca. it is temporary, until we figure out these issues what are the next steps supposed to be. when we know those steps, then, of course, we bring it back. meantime, a new covid wave in malawi is pushing hospitals to breaking points there. health-care workers say it is largely because wealthier countries purchased most of the doses leaving poorer nations empty handed. with more on that, hi, david. good to see you. you have interviewed i want to talk about astrazeneca, first. you have interviewed many of the scientists behind the astrazeneca vaccine in south africa. what do you make of this latest announcement coming from the south africans? >> reporter: robyn, we are here at the hospital in malawi and we have been here several days. behind me, you see the tents erected by doctors without borders to deal with this dramatic, second wave of the virus, which has been driven by that variant you described. and yes, we have spoken extensively to the leader of that trial in south africa over thesemonts and this is very disappointing news. they say it has minimal effect against mild and moderate versions of this virus. and they are pausing the rollout of the astrazeneca vaccine in south africa. and this is the vaccine they were hoping to get here, in malawi, but there is just no vaccine here, at all. for the health workers, for those worst affected. that solidarity that has been much talked about over the past year, just doesn't appear to be happening, robyn. >> no, it doesn't. and malawi. it's a beautiful country but poor. and like many places on the continent, as you say, just struggling with the virus. but then, also, with so little hope of any vaccine rollout at any time soon. what have doctors and nurses been telling you? >> well, they're telling us that they are working with what they can. the best they can to save people's lives in hospitals like we are standing here, today. we were inside that covid ward, with a doctor who work seven-day shifts. she is really just hoping, like everyone else here, that they could get the opportunity to have a vaccine that works. any vaccine. and doctors without borders is agitating to get some of that into the country. but so far, it seems like it's everyone for themselves. we went inside the covid ward that is buckling under pressure. here, too, covid-19 is inflicting its most painful toll. >> the emotions are very blurred. you don't know when to be the doctor and when to be the family member for people. >> reporter: the doctor has a simple message for those who think covid-19 is only severe in the northern hemisphere. or that vaccines are only urgently needed in europe and the united states. >> now, we are onto the second wave which is a lot harder. so i think it's going to be a long year. >> reporter: follow her on a round in southern malawi's largest hospital, where shifts are measured in days, not hours. >> this tent, here, is used to disinfect the dead bodies. and i think that's one of the most traumatic things. we see people die all the time, but not like this. like, not at this rate. not -- not this many people, who are well, just a week or two ago. yeah. so, it can get quite brutal. >> reporter: the last-available space outside, plastic tents are being erected to handle this and future waves. these are the few extra resources. >> we have basics. we don't have fancy treatment. we can't ventilate our patients. we don't have capacity to ventilate. >> reporter: and there is no one else to step into the wards. just this doctor and her fellow malawian doctors, who, for months, have battled the virus that, now, because of a new, south african variant, is only getting worse. >> i don't remember feeling like this in the first wave. >> reporter: doctors without borders is fighting to get vaccines to malawi. and at the very least, into the arms of health-care workers. one of just three-remaining specialists, covering four full covid wards. the other five, all, out sick with the virus. >> and people are dying. and like, all the systems are like really strained with this particular wave. >> reporter: some countries have ordered many times the number of vaccines than the size of their population. what impact could that have? >> the issue, right now, is more a time issue than a quantity issue. the health system falls apart. you know, it's not only people dying from covid that we're going to have here. we're going -- going to have excess mortality, related to other diseases. >> reporter: hope is still being kept alive, if only because of dr. purey and the nurses and workers constantly delivering precious oxygen tanks to the wards but she says to survive as a doctor at queens, also, means being a realist. >> we had to accept that our situation is different. you have to come in mentally prepared and you have to tell yourself i'm going to be well. and i am going to look after myself and -- and we'll deal with what we have but we'll do our best. >> reporter: after all, her skills as a doctor are honed by the years of never carrying a full arsenal of weapons. 20-year-olds in europe might get vaccines before you get a vaccine. >> sure. >> how's that make you feel? >> it's brutal but it's reality. >> reporter: why would this moment be any different? and that comment, that it's just reality, really struck me because it's quite extraordinary that you have a situation, where doctors without borders says 40,000 vaccine doses. that's all it would take. to get into malawi. to help these health-care workers to stop their system, potentially, from collapsing. but they cannot deal directly with the pharmaceutical companies. generally, they deal with governments. and so, it's not an issue just of supply. as the head of doctors without borders said. it's an issue of timing. get those vaccines into places like malawi, now. and you can make a massive difference to these health-care systems. we were in the general wards, robyn, where they just largely empty because people are too afraid to come into the hospitals because they think they might get covid. and many doctors are sick, already. you can get those vaccines and protect those doctors, and at least make a start towards ending the very-worst of this pandemic. and from a general-population sense, it could take years for enough vaccines to get into malawi to get to herd immunity. so these tents behind me, they will be dealing with wave, after wave, after wave. robyn. >> david mackenzie. powerful reporting. great piece. important piece there. thanks to you and your team, live, in malawi. thank you. so coming up on cnn. covid cases are falling across the u.s., but experts fear the trend could, soon, come to an end. why the super bowl may be to blame, and you can take a look at these pictures to see why. also, democrats say they're ready to go big on coronavirus relief. why the secretary -- the treasury secretary says now is the time to act. all of those stories, as well, coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ for every trip you've been dreaming

curnow. so, there was a lot of celebrating at the super bowl, when the hometown team won. but the crowds of fans who gathered in tampa's nightlife district really are a real concern because you can see, there are very few masks. and social distancing appears to be the last thing on anyone's mind. here's randi kaye. >> reporter: well, it was quite a game, and certainly, quite a crowd here in tampa. there is a mask mandate for people who are in the entertainment zones and the entertainment areas. you have to wear a mask, if you can't safely social distance or face a fine up to $500. but a lot of people are ignoring that mask mandate. in fact, we have video of an area known as city, where hundreds of people were lining the streets. they were going to bars and restaurants, many of them maskless. they were inside the clubs. certainly, the city is being asked why they didn't do more to enforce the mask mandate. we called the mayor's office, today, which sent me to the police in tampa. and when i asked them, they said, the spokesperson said, that they are very disappointed, certainly, about one gathering, one event at a bar and grill at a hotel here, in tampa. they are very concerned about that. the spokesman for the police, telling me that they have a level of responsibility that must be followed, or risk being shut down. now, that particular event was supposed to have a mask mandate and temperature checks in place. but it's unclear, if any of that was followed. in terms of citations or fines that were issued, the tampa police would not say how many, if any at all, were issued here in the city. randi kaye, cnn, tampa. now, many of those football fans may have missed the taped message from president biden and the first lady, which aired just before kickoff. in it, the president thanked the nation's frontline workers and he urged all americans to wear masks. >> as we thank you and all of our essential workers, let's remember we all can do our part to save lives. wear masks. stay socially distanced. get tested. get vaccinated, when it's your turn. and most of all, let's remember, all those who we lost. >> well, the president remains focused on fulfilling his campaign promise to go big on a much-needed covid-relief package. he is still hoping for bipartisan support to push his nearly $2 trillion plan through. though, he admits, republicans don't seem willing to go as big as he wants. u.s. treasury secretary, janet yellen, is warning, if congress doesn't act soon, the unemployment rate will, likely, stay above 4%, until at least 2025. well, cnn's emerging markets editor, john defterios, joins me now, live, from abu dhabi, with more on all of this. also, john, hi. good to see you. does the latest jobs -- jobless report give more impetus for the biden administration to push through a larger package through congress? >> robyn, i think you can make a much stronger case after what we have been seeing in the jobs market. but let's recap here. $3 trillion over that spent, so far, post-pandemic here. and try to get the economy moving again. add 1.9. we are going to be over $5 trillion. it's five times what we saw during the global financial crisis. but the point here is that the labor market's stalling, already. let's take a look at the jobs report that came out friday. only 49,000 jobs were created in january after losing 140,000, in december. this is well-below par. the unemployment rate is misleading, robyn, at 6.3% because it dropped by four-tenths of 1% because many americans have just stopped looking for work and falling off the ranks here of the unemployed, officially. and we still have nearly 10 million people who have lost their jobs, in the last year, when we had that record unemployment, in february, 2020. that's why janet yellen was on cnn making the case for a much-larger-scale effort here to drive home the job creation. >> we have 10 million americans, who are unemployed. another 4 million who have dropped out of the labor force. particularly, women, who have child-care responsibilities. we need to reopen our schools. make sure that children aren't falling behind. provide help. we already have way too many small businesses that are closing. we need to provide help to get them to the other side. >> there's still a gender-pay gap, robyn, with women making nearly 20% less than their male counterparts, even though there's been a lot of progress the last 20 years. it's still at 19%, which seems a little bit out of hand, still, that's for sure. >> that's one way to put it. there's, also, been a lot of debate about the economic risk of such a package. depending on what part of the -- the political spectrum you are on, especially on inflation. so, what did the treasury secretary, janet yellen, have to say about that? >> well, this is interesting. you bring that up, robyn. because it came, this pressure, from former u.s. treasury secretary, under bill clinton. and then, economic adviser to barack obama, lawrence sommers, of harvard university, saying with this level of spending, you are going to flood so much money into the market. that 5 trillion, i was talking about, overall. it could trigger inflation that we haven't seen since the late 1970s when paul volker, the fed chief, had to kind of stamp it out for a few years. janet yellen said i am aware of all the risk in this debate that was happening within the party. then, republicans chimed in. but she said the number-one risk right now is losing that confidence for americans to find a job, again. so, she said i'll take care of the inflation. let's take care of the job creation, first. >> okay. always good to speak to you. john defterios, there, in abu dhabi. thanks, john, have a lovely

slam of the year. b begun today, the first day of that wonderful tournament here on monday with stars like naomi osaka, serena williams. and novak djokovic will be on a little later. but almost more interestingly, we have thousands of fans coming to watch in those stadiums to come and cheer on their heroes. after what was such a difficult year for melbourne, last year, robyn. but melbourne has come out of a terrible, second wave of the coronavirus pandemic to get to this stage, in which it can host an international-sporting competition, of the magnitude of the australian open. and invite 30,000 fans, per day. almost 400,000 fans, total, over the course of the two weeks to come and watch. it's just fantastic. robyn. >> it certainly is and it's able to do this because of some pretty strict, stringent measures that have been put in place. i know there was a bit of grumbling from the tennis players. but a price is being paid but look what you guys are getting there, on the ground. >> that's right, robyn. the players did have to pay a price. they had to quarantine for two weeks, on arrival into australia, last month. which may -- which meant that their lead-up to the tournament was seriously disjointed. 72 players were deemed close contacts of cases among the over 1,000 cohort had to quarantine in their rooms for 14 days without even being allowed outside to practice. not even any fresh air so it was a bit of an uneven start to the competition, in terms of the lead-up. the organizers are saying that that should be -- after a lot of opportunities for the players to warm up with tune-up matches over the last couple of weeks. but i spoke to two-time finalist, pat cash, this morning, robyn. and he said don't be expected if we have a few players pull out of the tournament because they haven't had the proper lead-up into it. or we might even see an upset winner for the whole tournament, indeed, robyn. >> and you get to speak to pat cash. fantastic. so good to have good news. of course, certainly, have pulled this one out of the hats. angus watson, enjoy. live there in melbourne. so a frantic search is under way in the himalayas. we have been covering thetory here at cnn. they are looking for survivors after a broken glacier triggered floods. a live report from india, after the break, on this. this is the sound of an asthma attack... that doesn't happen. this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is a different kind of asthma medication. it's not a steroid or inhaler. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it's one maintenance dose every 8 weeks. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and lower use of oral steroids. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove them. fasenra is not a rescue medication or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. this is the sound of fasenra. ask your doctor about fasenra. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. this is the moment a deadly flash flood roared down a riverbed in northern india. caught on camera in the dramatic video you can see. it happened after a glacier in the himalayas broke. the death toll has risen to 14. we're in new delhi with the latest on this. what more can you tell bus what happened and the death toll? >> reporter: grim situation indeed, robyn. what we do know is as you pointed out it happened at 10:00 local time. this is in the minimuhimalayan . it took with it a high project power plant there. it was a small one and we know another hydro project has been swamped and been affected and damaged. we also do know at this point in time that at least 13 villages with a population of 2500 villages has been cut off and they're trying to establish connection with the villages. the two rescue operations are on. they have saved a few people. we're talking about army personnel and the state and national disaster response will be working through the night to get people out of these areas. a lot of heavy machines in the second tunnel as well trying to pull out the debris. we do believe 20, 30 people are stuck in that tunnel as well. ves skew operations are on where this tragedy has taken place. remember, robyn, in 2013 there were flash floods that killed hundreds of people. they have been there ever since and now we're seeing a rescue effort as big as 2013. >> so if you say this has happened again, surely there was concern with people on the ground this could potentially happen again? >> oh, yes. so many people have been tweeting and talking about it. even in 2013 when cnn spoke to environmentalists, they were talking about these hydro projects coming into the state. talk about tunnels being built. talking about construction work. and if you remember that some pe people, villagers would stick to trees so they were not cut down and they are known for that. yes, environmentalists have been talking about how construction in the area is affecting it. >> thank you for bringing us up to date on that developing story right there in. sticking with the brutal temperatures. many people from georgia to maine were under some type of winter weather alert on sunday. take a look at the snow piled up in new york central park this week. many are bracing for extreme cold temperatures well below zero. pedram javaheri joins us on this. one storm after another pummelling people. >> it has been a very active pattern, robyn. when you look at the time of year, latter portion of january, first two weekends of february are the coldest region. it's been an exception when you take a look at what's playing out. the snowfall, across portions of the western u.s. and michigan, the shores of chicago. talking about nearly 80% of the lower 48 dealing with areas that are subfreezing. current wind chills across the region down to 53 degrees below zero. with that said, across parts of the state of minnesota, below 35, below zero schools are shut down. 2021 that means schools are virtual. the temperatures are supporting school cancellations. 37 below zero what it feels like across northern minnesota. some areas are 50 below zero. l longevity of it is what is incredible. it gets colder. in minneapolis, 10 is where you should. minus 12 is a 22 degrees departure. also, scenes like this playing out across the netherlands. it's impacting europe. our friends across the u.k., london, snow showers in the early morning hours. a lot of weather going on. >> pedram, lovely to see you again. thanks so much for that update. >> thank you, robyn. this year's super bowl halftime show was a show by the weeknd. some of the ads aired during the game. >> reporter: super bowl may have lacked some of the star power of years past, but there is one ad that everyone is talking about. it's a commercial for jeep, 2 minutes long. it features none other than bruice springsteen calling for unity. >> we can make it to the mountain top, through the desert and we will cross this divide. our light has always found its way through the darkness. and there's hope on the road up ahead. >> when it comes to big moments, the weeknd took the stage. despite the highly anticipated performance, he received some criticism. his manager told bill bboard magazine said the weeknd chipped in $7 million of his own money for the show. >> thanks to you all for watching. i'm robyn curnow. the next hour
