good morning and welcome to >> cnn this morning, it is sunday and i'm jessica dean victor blackwell, and amara bunker have the morning off and here's what we're watching for you today. the us carried out its first airdrops of humanitarian aid into gaza. and president biden says there is more to come or live in the region with more on the relief effort and where the ceasefire talks stand today. >> plus donald trump brexit, more gop primary wins, but nikki haley is not backing down. we'll tell you about her strategy heading into super tuesday coming up well, let's to that. that's what 100 mile per hour winds >> sound like. more of that in store is blizzard warnings remain in effect in parts of california and son day, those areas that can see up to six inches of snow per hour plus lakers superstar lebron james. yep, he hit another major career milestone. we'll explain later on cnn this morning we'll begin here with the us and jordan successfully conducting its first airdrops of aid into gaza. the combined efforts saw three us c-130 aircrafts dropped 38,000 meals along the gaza coastline. the defense department says they are planning on airdropping more aid in the days ahead. and following the airdrops, president biden said saturday that the amount aid flowing into gaza was quote, not nearly enough, and that the us would continue to pull out every stop to get more aid in. >> meanwhile, sources say ceasefire talks are expected to resume today in cairo, a us official telling cnn, israel has quote, basically accepted a six-week ceasefire and hostage release proposal in gaza it's of course now up to hamas to agree to that deal. cnn's jeremy diamond is in tel aviv, jimmy, what's the latest on those talks >> well, we understand that hamas delegation has just arrived in cairo to pursue those negotiations from israel's point of view, they are still waiting for hamas to provide aid he lists of the hostages who would be released under this deal, a six-week pause in the fighting in exchange for some 40 israeli hostages, perhaps, and they're also waiting for hamas to provide a response in terms of the number of palestinian prisoners that they would need to see released. but it appears that at least this delegation arriving in cairo there's a positive sign that talks are still ongoing over the last few days. there's been a sense that perhaps the progress that we had seen over the last week was stalling. so it is positive to see this delegation arrived in cairo. the timeline of course, is very short. we have a week until the start of ramadan. and that's been made very clear as the deadline for these talks for a deal to be made in order for these talks to be successful. now, the united states in the meantime, is ramping up its delivery of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip that those three c-130 planes dropping 66 bundles containing 38,000 meals over for the gaza strip yesterday. but we understand that these airdrops are really just a small drop in the bucket in terms of the enormous humanitarian need that exists currently in gaza. in particular, in northern gaza, those airdrops are nowhere near as efficient as getting those aid truck convoys into the gaza strip directly. and so president biden has made it clear that israel needs to allow more of those aid convoys in gaza. in particular, into northern gaza. >> and >> as all of this is happening israel is still very much continuing its military campaign. 90 people killed over the past 24 hours in israeli airstrikes, according to the palestinian ministry of health, is really military for its part says that he killed 30 militants in the 24 hours before this morning back to you guys >> jeremy diamond. thank you. we'll see if more aid ultimately comes. appreciate it. >> well, back here in the us super tuesday now just two days away, and former president donald trump and former south carolina governor nikki haley are making those final days count with a flurry of campaign stops for both of them. trump earn some more delegates saturday warning the idaho and missouri caucuses that followed his wins in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and michigan. >> but haley says, she's still the best choice against president joe biden. cnn's steve contorno explains their strategy on the trail jessica and danny, former president donald trump held rallies on saturday in north carolina and here in virginia two states that will vote >> on super tuesday. but even though these contests are just around the corner, he was more focusing on a likely general election rematch with president biden, focusing especially the on his recent trip to the border and what he saw there >> biden's conduct on our border is by any definition a conspiracy to overthrow the united states of america. you know, he talks about democracy he is a danger to democracy he is. >> number one, it goes after his political opponent, which nobody's ever done in this country. they do it in third world countries very well. they do it but then i can succeed with us. they're not going to succeed. >> make it a stronger it's making a stronger biden and his accomplices want to collapse the american system, nullify the will of the actual american voters that established a new base of power that gives them control. for generations. >> former south carolina governor nikki haley campaigning saturday as well this time in north carolina, we're continuing to make the case that she would be more electable than trump in a general election, pointing to a new poll that shows her with a ten-point lead over president biden i think there's another new york times poll that shows us. i think donald trump squeaks by and we went by ten points. if you look at the hispanic numbers in that, it's off the charts, it's double digits. we continue to make ground >> trump, meanwhile, added to his delegate count on saturday, cnn projects that he will win all 32 two delegates awarded in the idaho caucuses, all 54 delegates awarded in the missouri caucuses, and then michigan held a convention as well. where they awarded president trump 39 delegates, bringing his total to 247. he is well on his way to the 1,215. he will need to secure the nomination. and jessica and danny, many of those will be awarded on super tuesday >> all right. steve contorno for us. thanks so much. and let's discuss these political headlines now with men kannada national political reporter for the associated press, meg, good morning. thanks for getting up early on a sunday with us. we can start with trump and haley there as steve was just kinda the setting the scene for this coming week. trump's team continues to make this case in the next several weeks. they're going to have enough delegates to clinch this nomination. at this point, what is haley's path forward? >> hey, good morning, jessica. it's good to be with you. it is tough to navigate exactly what that path is at this point. as was noted, donald trump has been running through these first contests, racking up a lot of delegates compared to her and when we asked governor haley about this, she continues to say that she's going to quote, run through the tape i'm not quite sure what that means. maybe that just means sticking it through super tuesday, but then possibly having a point of re-evaluation to see if it's worth it, to stick through these contests that follows. she has been bringing in more money, which we know fuels these campaigns and really determined when candidacies are over, when campaigns are done on it's not necessarily the candidate deciding it's time, it's when the money runs out. so she hasn't quite said what she's gonna be doing after super tuesday, but at least at this point, she's sticking it out through those contests and we'll see what happens after them. >> yeah. i mean, i think they raised $12 million in the last quarter and yes, they lost that backing for americans americans for prosperity, but to your point, yeah, it's when the money runs out. so we will see what the case is that they make after super tuesday. i want to turn now to that new york times and siena college polling that came out that has a lot of people talking in new york and dc and that acela corridor in a head-to-head of the election was held today nearly half of the voters 48% saying that they would elect donald trump. but meg, if you dive into some more of the questions and some more of the data within that polling. one thing that really jumped out at me was that only 18% of the voters believe that biden's policies have helped them personally. that's lower then former president trump's policies. why do you think that the biden campaign is struggling to really tell people what they've been doing these last four years because they did make some pretty monumental, they had some monumental legislation. and is there time for them to move these numbers? >> that is certainly something that we've asked the administration as well as some of president biden's top surrogates, like congressman jim clyburn, who lives here in south carolina where i live. and a lot of the argument that they make is look, he just needs more time. he has delivered on a lot of these things. one of them being student loan forgiveness here in south carolina. often they talk about hbcu funding, which was a major point the 2020 campaign, and something on which president biden says he's delivered. i think some of this probably comes down to proximity. this is a president who is still currently in office who is saying, i've been working with a republican house of representatives that's hard for me to get some my policy points through. so just give me more time, give me more democrats in the house, and we'll see if i can make more progress and donald trump has been out of office for some time. and so i think a lot of the consternation that we heard, particularly after january 6 and a lot of people who said what never again, that was a long time ago in terms of political arcs and a memory can sometimes add a lot of patina to things. and it doesn't seem necessarily as detrimental as it might have back then. so i think that's probably some of what we're dealing with. >> yeah. that's such >> an interesting point you make about the proximity and time and all of that, because i think i'm thinking too about the economy where a biden the economic indicators are good, but biden is just having a hard time convincing the vast majority of americans. this is a good economy in this poll, most of them see it as a poor economy and i'm thinking about like them thinking back to pre-covid 2017, 2018, maybe they had more walking around money. there was more money at the end of the week. now even when they're going grocery shopping, it can still be more extent that is stubborn. inflation at those points that people keep seeing. do you think there's some of that to that kind of just hangs over this race in a way i think there's certainly some of that. and when we asked voters on the trail, what are the top issues for you? it is rare that i encounter somebody who doesn't mention the economy is at least the top 12 or three in terms of what's on their minds. and we see a lot of this lag in terms of the economy and economic indicators improving. and that really that feeling plane not trickling down to the voters and saying, look at my personal situation, just doesn't feel a whole lot better. i think you make a great point about what i call the before times before covid, when things were certainly different and officials like president biden and others have really had to try to figure out how to wade through that and to bring some of that benefit back two americans, there was a huge burst of funding and a lot of different areas immediately post-covid and during covid and now that some of that funding has kind of petered out, i think people are finding themselves in different situations. and so when they really are looking at how much they're having to spend to get the items that they need sometimes, i think that some of that person deception can be reflected on well, okay. who's in charge of things? who can i possibly blame for this >> and i'm looking ahead this week. obviously it was super tuesday, the president also set to give his state of the union address on thursday a huge chance for millions of people to hear his message is he turns his attention to this general election. >> what? do you expect to hear from him. and do you think any of it can start to move the needle for him >> i'm sure that we are going to hear a lot about those promises made and what they would argue our promises kept and a lot of that i think will hinge on the economy. and arguments that the biden administration and by hi extension, his campaign as well have said, these are things that i would like to do. these were things that i need to do these are things i'm bringing to you to make your situation better i'm sure we will also hear quite a bit about foreign policy, about the war between israel and hamas, and how the biden administration is hoping to perhaps get a season it's fire implemented. we heard reporting on that just now and also really thinking that if there are some moves in the foreign policy sphere that could go toward that situation of, i would like to improve these situations without getting to us directly involved in terms of troops. but this is something that i'm concerned about. i know from listening to voters first, that's something they are very concerned about. and i'm certain that we'll hear more movement from president biden his speech on thursday night, canard, thanks so much. we really appreciate it. nice to see you thank,

sierra nevada. many resorts are also closed and more than 6 million people in the region remain under a winter weather alert as wind gusts get this tops, 100 miles per hour in some areas, take a listen >> oh thousands of homes and businesses are without power this morning. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking that storm from our weather center. allison, i know a lot of people ready for this storm to be over. what are we expecting today? >> even more snow, which is the last thing that some of these areas need when you take a look at some of these snowfall totals already and keep in mind the national weather service hasn't really updated these last few hours. so these are likely even higher than what you're seeing now king valle topping out at 42 so far that's going to be the keyword, but several other areas topping out at at least three feet and more snow, as we said, is expected, that's why you've still got a lot of these winter weather alerts. we've got the winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories, but also even if you blizzard warnings, you can see there around that orange color. now, the blizzard warning is indicating not just the snow, but also the poor visibility that's expected. some of these areas you can see right now still getting the rain closer to the coastal road regions, but very heavy snow at times along the sierra. the thing is some of that snow was coming down at 34 even as much as five inches an hour for multiple hours now, it's going to go in waves. you're going to get ours where it's a little bit later, hours where it picks back up again and then the bulk of that system is gradually going to shift off towards the east into other states as, we go through the rest of the day to day and even into monday, so that moisture will spread. but in the short term, we are still expecting significant impacts from this particular system. you're talking impossible travel, whiteout conditions and those damaging winds that could be up around that 40 to 70 mile per hour range, which could also lead to an increased number of power outages that does not look good. allison chinchar. thanks so much for that update. we appreciate it. >> also this morning, >> survivors of the wildfires scorching the texas panhandle are sharing their stories. this is strong winds, heat and dry conditions continue to fuel those flames wasn't seconds and it was at my back door and i was trying to get dog kennels and i couldn't i had >> to leave and then i had to drive through fire to get out of there, i was going to die >> now since it erupted nearly a week ago, the smokehouse creek fire has killed two people, destroyed hundreds of structures, killed livestock, and burned over 1 million acres, making it the largest in texas history. from one of this, we have cnn's ivan rodriguez. he's in fritch texas. ivan, i mean, just tell us what are conditions looking like this morning >> well, jessica, danny, we're still feeling those strong winds, dry conditions as well, and a typical sunday morning here in fritch, texas, we would see, you know, eventually people coming out of their homes even children playing in the yard. but that's no longer a reality for many people in this area. we're seeing just pure devastation behind me. you can see some of that destruction we're seeing neighborhoods that are no longer there. people are also beginning to clean up their property as they begin this long road to rebuilding in over the last couple of days, we've heard some remarkable stories from neighbors, helping neighbors. one volunteer firefighter tells us that he is a teacher and he was in a classroom with the students when this fire sparked after they were all able to evacuate safely, he quickly got onto the road once again until fire truck

us in a red flag warning crews say they hope to increase containment especially after the weekend containment still at around 15% now, in terms of how this fire started, jessica, danny, we're still told that it's under investigation. >> wow, just incredible images coming out of the panhandle. i hope folks there and you, ivan, both stay safe. thank you very much all right. coming up a contentious

because they perceive his age as a potential problem and forgiving when the president says he recently spoke to a foreign leader who died years ago, he has a history of gauff's, but i also think that as we age, we do tend to mix things up a little bit. >> mickey brown is west point class of 1966. >> we tried to stay as active as possible. he >> plays tennis, pickleball, and senior softball to stay

of that and trump? >> well, i was just at on january 31, at times, i forget something that comes back. but i'm fit. i have confidence in myself i just think the difference between the two are enough

positive for covid-19 have to stay away from others. >> cnn, chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta explains the new guidelines and why some people are concerned about them well, these are some of the biggest changes in guidance that we've heard from the cdc in quite some time now and there's people who say, look, this is a long time coming. other people who understandably are very concerned about this, especially people who are more vulnerable have some sort of preexisting condition. for example let's take a look here. previous guidance on the left. current now guidance on the right, the top line is the most significant in the past, they said day zero to five, you should stay in isolation. now they're saying stay home or away from others. if you have symptoms the reason that's concerning for a lot of people is because we know you can still be contagious even if you don't have symptoms. day six and onward, they say, especially if you're going to be around vulnerable people, you should wear a mask. you should think about ventilation. you should try and keep your distance now, part of the reason they're making these changes, the cdc few reasons they said that 97% of the country now has some degree of immunity, which is probably true between vaccination and people who've been previously infected. but keep in mind a lot of people get infected over and over again. so they have the immunity doesn't seem to last very long. also, if you look at hospitalizations and deaths, they've gone down considerably 60% lower for hospitalizations. deaths have gone down at 3%. let me show you this graphic as well. they implemented this in oregon in the past back in may of 2023 and you can see what sort of happened cases did surge again. and then you had these sort of these ebbs and flows of cases. but the cdc says oregon really behave not much differently than the national average. so even with the loosening of the guidelines, it didn't seem to increase the risk. they say at least two people are in oregon now one thing to keep in mind is that some people say this is sort of flu of fighting, covid. we're treating this like flu. but i want to show you this graph that we pulled that makes this case that covid is still a lot more concerning than flu orange line is covid. go back to 2019, 2020. you see the difference between covid flu and blue, and then r is read as rsv. even now, most currently, you see how much more of an impact covid has overall on hospitalizations? in the last season flu kill that had about 21,000 people who died with covid. it was closer to 245,000. covid is not flu. people can still spread this even when they're asymptomatic. as i mentioned, they are more contagious, they are contagious for longer with covid. they can experience symptoms for a long time after infection. long covid, and it can cause some very serious illness in people. so i think that's the concern that even though it's being treated more and more, covid has been treated more and more like flu. it is not flu. as we get more information about these guidelines will certainly bring them to you all right. >> dr. sanjay gupta breaking it down for us. thanks so
