the biggest entertainers in vegas were black entertainers, sammy davis junior and lena horne and nat king and and for many years, most of the hotels would not, would not serve black people in the hotels or allow them in the audiences. and it was the entertainers themselves with the help of people like frank sinatra who argued that this is crazy people like harry belafonte could not, who entertained it was big court starring in las vegas in the first time he played there, they had to say he couldn't stay in the hotel where he was entertaining. they had to send him across town, the black area well, people like him raised a stink and obviously things changed fairly, fairly quickly in the late '50s and early '60s. >> wow, also fascinated and of course we'll learn even more with your series, richard xylem. thank you so much for being with us. cnn looks bad i got the iconic history of las

vegas. and the why that retainers that set the city on fire. i get ready for elvis, the rat pack way newton and more in the news cnn original series vegas, the story of sin city premiering tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern and pacific right here on cnn. thank you so much for joining me this weekend. this is the last cnn weekend newsroom show, right here in this study studio in the historic cnn center building. but we're not going anywhere where we're just going down the street, so we'll see you next weekend. new venue. i'm fredricka whitfield, cnn newsroom continues with jessica dean right now >> you are in the cnn news good evening, everyone. i'm jessica dean in washington and we begin tonight with uncertainty hanging over ukraine as the war torn country marks two years since the start of russia's

full-scale invasion. today, president zelenskyy warning russia could attempt to a new offensive that could start by late may. in a rare admission the ukrainian leader revealing at least 31,000 of his soldiers have died in the war. now, cnn cannot independently verify that number, but us offici estimate the toll could be closer to 70 thousand. ukraine is running low on critical supplies like weapons and ammunition as russian forces gain control of key areas, seeing an anchor, kaitlan collins is in kyiv and got a chance to ask zelenskyy about the $60 billion of aid stalled in congress. here's a clip >> it has been two years now, obviously since this war started. but for the first time since russia invaded us aid to ukraine green is seriously in doubt that a total standstill in congress. do you still have faith in the us congress >> nike no congress year? >> well, i do have hopes full for for for for the congress.

>> would it >> i'm sure there's will be a positive decision because otherwise it will leave me wondering what kind overbroad we are living in because of that with account on congress support >> now, kaitlan also have a chance to speak one-on-one with zelenskyy and brings us a preview from kyiv well, jessica, you know, from covering capitol hill as well as anyone, what the dynamics are there right >> now and the truth on the ground is that usa does it a standstill? the senate passed that aid package that has $60 billion for ukraine inside of it, but it has gone nowhere in the house. and speaker mike johnson has said he's in no rush to move it. and of course, there is still on that two-week recess. but some of the senators who voted against that republican senators, including jd vance have been making claims that they don't believe even if it did pass that, it would fundamentally change what's happening on the battlefield for ukraine, how they are faring against the russians two years into this

war. and we asked president zelenskyy for his response to that claim. senator jd vance, who was in munich at the security conference but didn't meet with you? he said that even if you got the 60 billion in aid, it is not going to fundamentally change the reality on the battlefield what's your response to that? >> i'm not trying that he understands what's going on here we don't need any rhetoric of from people who are not deeply in the, you know, in the war so to understand it is to come to the frontline to she was going on to speak with the people than to go to civilians to understand what will be with them. and that what will be done without this support and he will understand the millennials people have been killed we'll be killed >> it's, he doesn't understand it because she doesn't understand. of course, he got the god bless. you, don't have the war >> on your territory so

jessica, what he said right after that was he noted that these are the people, people like jd vance and other senators, some of whom of course support >> sending more aid to ukraine. they're the ones who are making the decisions here. but what he also made clear is that while he said he's grateful that no one else has to understand what this is like. only people in his shoes who have been on the frontlines of the battlefield here in ukraine, can really understand what's going going on. and it just speaks to the implications of that decision where he he's making those comments they're saying that this is really what matters and this is what it all comes down to and that it isn't the very black and white picture for him that if they don't get any more aid from the united states, it's not like the war is going to go on the same that it has what he said, it will fundamentally change what is happening the ground. and that more people will die as a result of it. >> all right. kaitlan collins for us from kyiv, ukraine. thanks so much and be sure to tune in tomorrow night at 09:00 p.m. eastern for kaitlan's full sit down with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. it's right here on cnn for

more on the two-year anniversary of russia's war on ukraine. let's turn now to my next guest, democratic congressman mike quigley of illinois. he is the co-chair of the house caucus on ukraine, congressman, thanks so much for coming on on this sunday night. i first just want to get your reaction to that interview with my colleague, kaitlan collins and president zelenskyy is the ukrainian leader think too much faith in congress to pass this aid. do you think >> look, i every time i've met president zelenskyy, five or six times since the war began. he's been nothing but appreciative and forthcoming about the conflict but he's absolutely right that our aid is essential and i i guess you never lose money betting against congress. but he has to keep hope because his peoples existence is dependent upon are acting in good faith and so just to remind everyone as we've talked about leading up to our interview with you right now, that aid is stalled in the >> house and white house national security adviser jake sullivan, putting the blame

squarely on the republican house speaker mike johnson. let's listen to what he told our dana bash this morning the reality is that putin gains every day that ukraine does not get the resources it needs. and ukraine suffers and there's a strong bipartisan majority in the house standing ready to pass this bill if it comes to the floor? and that decision rests on the shoulders of one person and history is watching whether speaker johnson will put that bill on the floor. if he does, it will pass, will get ukraine what it needs for ukraine to succeed if he doesn't, then we will not be able to give ukraine the tools required for it to stand up to russia. and putin will be the major beneficial three of that. >> that's okay, congressman, i'm curious if you agree if speaker johnson is essentially if he doesn't put this on the floor if he's essentially helping the kremlin, helping putin well, there's a term we come up with a few years ago. people who are apologists to putin, who, who also misled the

public with what's going on. we call them useful idiots than none more useful than the, presumptive nominee for president in united states on the republican side i'd ask speaker johnson not to be a useful idiot to someone who's such a bloody tyrant. do you really want to forget the lessons of the second world war and why we fought that war. and why so many gave their last full measure of devotion do we really want to say never again and perhaps not mean it? i stood on the mass graves at bucha and i saw what putin is capable and is going to do if we don't do this, it is not that hard. speaker johnson. >> 40 you afraid >> of the bill gets on the floor, it will probably get about 300 votes it gets 70 votes in the senate. this sort of thing doesn't happen. and indeed history is watching >> and so just to underscore for people listening and

watching at home, what you just said, which is if this bill were to go to the floor, it's going to have in your opinion and that's the conventional wisdom. overwhelming bipartisan support. so this really, it's not a question of if there are votes there, right >> absolutely. >> look when there was a stand-alone bill in november, it got about 300 votes, 101 republicans i guess there's 100 reagan republicans left who supported the reagan doctrine. but as you know, that's, that's more than enough. so again, he has every opportunity and frankly, if he does it we have no choice but to try to force the bill on the floor and get some of those hundred republicans to take tough stance and sign on to what we call a discharge petition right. >> and those discharge petitions not to bore everyone, but there is a lot that goes into that. they're very difficult logistically to get through you. it's really a tough needle to thread, but are you confident at this point, if

you all had to rely on that? that is something that could work >> they don't work very often, but i think this has historic qualities and my colleagues on the other side who care about this, know that they're going to have to take that we're not talking about a lot of republicans right? maybe not even double digits that would have to sign on because you'd have virtually every democrat signing, the margins are so narrow and so much is at stake in, i know that for some people they proceed, they see these as tough votes my answer to that is what the hell did you come to congress for? just to vote for the simple things, the easy things there's so much at stake here, and i think it's important to remember that not just putin has watching, but our friends and foes are watching. can those who want to count out us count out in the future? and can those who want to challenge us there watching this two in beijing and tehran.

and they're recognizing that perhaps our resolve as the west is only as strong as a a handful hours, just as few as one person who's willing to be that weak link. and her not just ukraine, but our own national security. >> congressman, do you think that the biden administration has done a good enough job explaining to americans what this aid is because there is a sense from a lot of every today americans that they think this is just a blank check that is going overseas to another nation when there are real problems at home. i was talking with democratic strategist paul begala on another one of our shows. and he said that he would reframe it is kind of know where re-arming america we're sending them are old weapons were building new weapons in american facilities do you think that that message is getting out to everyday americans to help them understand what this actually is. >> it is, but it's tough. every war is tough to win at home, so to speak >> i mean, even the second world war there were movies,

why we fight reminding the american people why it mattered, and our own blood was being shut and our interests was obviously there. so it's it's difficult. >> i would >> remind people that secretary austin and general milley brought this home. and so that if we don't stand up to putin's aggression, we're just asking tour a situation where we would have to invite more bloodshed and double our own budget. because again, putins aims go well beyond ukraine until moldova, georgia, and then of course in the baltics and nato countries to in his mind, rebuild the soviet union so it is extraordinary a short-sided, and not really paying attention to the facts to recognize that conflict is our conflict and it's again why we formed nato in the united nations. and that should bring it home >> and of course, nato has been the subject of so much conversation with the former president making those comments that he would allow putin to do

whatever the hell he wanted if they didn't pay their fair share. but but if he continued to your point to move forward like this, it could put some of those nato countries at risk oh, absolutely. >> that's one of the frustrating parts clearly, it's not speaker johnson who is making this decision. he's making it based on orders from candidate trump. >> so >> that's where all of this is coming from. i don't know that speaker johnson has the requisite understanding of what whatsapp at risk here. but if we're going to let president former president trump call the shots, that's just remember how close he was to president putin, how he never, ever criticized him. and one of those to pull out of nato risks that several times and was the ultimate isolationists riskiness at home and abroad >> before i let you go just quickly, there are some congressional deadlines just about a week away to fund the

government and prevent a government shutdown. you all have come up against this several times and pass some short-term spending bills what's the status of that? do you believe that congress will be hello, to avoid another partial shutdown >> only if we do a continuing resolution, which is a short-term spending bill, which is absolutely no way to run a country this size. it's extremely risky it also puts our the cost of government, the credit rating higher and again, the rest of the world is watching our dysfunction our dysfunction has become a national security threat. let's just remember putting aside it's hard to do putting aside what we're trying to do with this bill doing with ukraine and israel. we haven't funded our own military yet. we've only got a couple of weeks to do that. >> let's get the basics >> done to protect ourselves at home and our allies abroad. >> yeah, and just worth noting, we are now being told my colleague, melanie zanona reporting that the spending deal to avoid a government shutdown, they thought might

come out today is no longer expected. they've hit some more snags, so more to come on that congressman mike quigley of chicago. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it >> thank you >> cellecom, what senior advisers inside the trump campaign tells cnn about their strategy going forward? after last night's win in south carolina, we're also going to unpack nikki haley's decision to stay in the race. my next guest says, haley should absolutely continue her fight well hear why. >> also how alabama is ivf embryo ruling is affecting real people. and a lot of them. i'm going to talk to one woman who had to scramble to leave the state the midway through or ivf jury >> laura coates live tomorrow at 11 eastern cnn >> sometimes it takes a different approach to imagine your future differently was capela universities aim changing flux path? format, set your own deadlines, and access

>> february 25th, but former president donald trump is ready to close the book on the presidential primaries and shift his focus to the general election in his presumed rematch with president joe biden. cnn's kristen holmes has the latest now from the trump campaign, kristen dusk, i've talked to a number of senior advisers on trump's team who say, it is time to turn their focus to the general election. they have had for resounding wins, even if nikki haley is not dropping out and all of the future khan does or at least most of them, donald trump is a clear favorite. they need a campaign reset. now, before i get excoriated by saying there's going to be some kind of trump presidential pivot that is not what i'm talking about. i am talking about campaign strategy, campaign infrastructure they are talking about trying to build out their teams in critical battleground states like michigan, arizona, georgia, states that donald trump won in 2016, but biden won in 2020. they are also talking about how to really focus their messaging on the president of the united states, joe biden, i saw a little bit of that from donald trump last

night when in his speech, his victory speech, he didn't mention nikki haley wants, but the caveat to that is that i spoke to one senior adviser who said they had no idea if he was going to mention haley or not. they had asked him they had begged him not to mention haley to turn this focus to president joe biden, but they know that they cannot control donald trump now, the other part of this is that we saw that there are clear warning signs for donald trump in a general election in 2024, we have seen throughout the primary and caucus process, particularly in our exit polling and particularly with independent voters, his team is very much aware of that. and then as part of the reason why they believe they have to start focusing on the general election they have to start going through their data bases for the past several years. they have to start building out those teams. they have to change their messaging because they know that every vote is going to come to count, come november, and they believe that they can bring donald trump back to the white house, but they know it's a long road ahead. i'm jessica. >> all right. >> kristen holmes for us in south carolina. thanks so much. joining us for more on this story. cnn senior political

analyst ron brownstein and geoff duncan, the former lieutenant governor of georgia, lovely to see both of you. ron, let's start with you that the trump campaign is clearly ready to move on to the general election after just a handful of states, it can make is it time for them to do that >> well, as long as haley is running, obviously, they have to pay some attention to the primaries. but i think the concrete has pretty much settled in the republican primary mean what we've seen is a very consistent pattern in the first four states, particularly the big three of iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. and what it tells us is that haley's coalition is not big enough to seriously threaten trump for the nomination. but her coalition is plenty big enough to cause all sorts of headaches for him in the general election. if he can't corral it and what we've seen is a pretty consistent patterns. he's only wanted about 40% of the vote among independents at each of the first three states. he's lost college graduates in the last two states, even while winning

convincingly and consistently. now in that ap vote cast study 60% or more haley voters are saying they won't vote for him in a general election. she's making a stronger case against him by far than she wasn't any point through new hampshire. so she can i think she got it about right. and hearst, in her speech last night, her coalition is not 50%. it's not a majority, but it's not nothing either. and as long as she has the money in the money seems to be coming in, she appears to be determined to make this stronger case against trump, that she failed to make in 23 when she had the platform of those debates and even failed to make an iowa and new hampshire when she had concentrated a national media attention >> and so haley pledging to stay in this race at least through super tuesday. that's march 5. that's when 15 states the us territory of american samoa, will all vote on that one day jeff you've written an op-ed for cnn.com saying trump may have won south carolina. but haley could still come out on top. how

>> well i think there's three primary reasons. money, age in reality, at the end of the day, people get out of campaigns because they run out of money and that's not the case with nikki haley. she continues to have strong fundraising numbers. actually just got an email just a few minutes ago from her campaign that said that she raised $1 million in 24 hours. the other positive effect of the money is she's not paying millions of dollars with a legal fees to keep yourself out of jail like donald trump is and then of course, the age related issues right. between joe biden and donald trump. i mean, these folks are really up there in years, right that's being as nice as i can be on a sunday afternoon. companies have contingency plans for people that are age and then the reality is, as republican donald trump cannot be joe biden. he's literally the only republican with a heartbeat that cannot be judged so biden and wouldn't be 20 points in front of them right now. and we continue to go through this exercise over and over again as republicans across the country and just look to the last few election cycles. look no further than herschel walker here in georgia we keep electing primary candidates that can win general elections. and donald trump is not immune

to that issue. >> okay, so getting a little bit under the skin of that and ron, you were talking about all the numbers that you were listing and look, trump, who had a resounding victory last night. there is no question about that, but 40% of south carolina, very conservative republican voters voting against trump is not nothing in new hampshire was about 44% of republicans. and jeff is talking now about the general election that seems to be when those numbers you get out, he can get out of a primary, but those numbers when you have that sort of discontent within the republican party against trump, those might matter in swing states in november >> yeah, absolutely. look, i mean, there are a lot of ominous >> numbers for democrats that they're worried about. biden's approval is stuck around 40%. it hasn't been increasing yet. even though economic optimism is growing and that's a pretty ominous divergence. but probably the best news for democrats this spring is that

continue you'd evidence of this fracture in the republican coalition donald trump is the dominant figure in the republican party, but he is a quasi incumbent president and consistently we are seeing somewhere around 40% of the vote saying no. and as i mentioned, losing independence, losing college graduates in the last two states, and at least 60% haley voters in the ap vote cast. a study in all three states saying they would not vote for him in the general election. eight, roughly 80% of haley voters in the exit polls conducted by edison research for a cnn and others say they will not vote for him if he is convicted of a crime. not all of those voters in the end will abandon trump on many of them we'll go back to the republican nominee because they are loyal republicans and they are really down on biden's performance. but biden doesn't need all of them to abandon trump this is a closely divided country, and this is a signal to republicans that they are taking a general election risk by renominating trump, even though we this is the dominant figure in their

party because the evidence is just very consistent from state to state, by the way, she may not match these numbers and the super tuesday state, i mean, she had a lot of time and money to campaign in new hampshire and south carolina. it may not be as broad a coalition, but it is a real coalition. it's a consistent coalition and it's consistent with where trump has had trouble in the past, white collar and suburban voters >> and yet, jeff, we get news that the senate minority whip john thune, who is in gop leadership in the senate, certainly not thought of as a big trumpy guy like the people in congress, do you think of that immediately? you think of trump. he is endorsing the former president. what does that say to you that people like john thune are falling in line behind the former president >> well, it's the unfortunate reality of where we are as a country, but i'll specifically speak to as republicans, we feel the need to kiss the ring into endorsed a flawed candidate. and that's not leadership we have got some tough times on our hands. we've got some tough situations that we need real genuine leaders

and each, each candidate has problematic populations that they have to work through. donald trump just either he has this crowd of folks that are with him and then the massive crowd of folks that are never going to be with them. and that makes the math problem and possible for republicans to win. i think there's going would it be a whole lot of regret after donald trump gets beat again? you know, heaven forbid, he wins and nikki haley doesn't prevail in this republican primary. and he comes in and just rearranging the deck chairs again and creates chaos across the party, the country and maybe even a world all right. >> ron brownstein, geoff duncan, we'll leave it there. our thanks to both of you. we appreciate it >> we just thank you >> so ahead. alabama clinic is pausing ivf treatments after the state supreme court ruled frozen embryos are children we never envisioned that this process would be questioned in any way and then much less by the supreme court of alabama i speak with gabby goidel after

agencies that would run out of funding at midnight on friday? that includes the department of transportation, veterans affairs, hud, and the department of agriculture. now, on friday, the white house press secretary was asked about these negotiations and what it would mean if house republicans couldn't reach a spending deal. take a listen to what she had to say >> we've always been very clear. house republicans have a job to do their basic duty is to keep the government open. they need to not play politics here and they need to get this done. we've been very clear about that and it is your job >> now, senate majority leader, chuck schumer already sounding the alarm today and also telling senators to keep their schedules flexible this week as they tried to reach that march 1 deadline. of course, this is all separate from the ongoing fight for ukraine aid that's 60 billion and funding that was passed in the senate and remains stalled in the house. so pressure from the white

house building up on two fronts this week, be it on this spending deal, but also so on that ukraine funding. >> all right, priscilla alvarez for us at the white house this evening. thanks so much for that update meantime, alabama lawmakers are scrambling to find a way to protect in vitro fertilization services following the state supreme court's ruling that frozen embryos are children multiple clinics in that state have paused treatments following that ruling and while the fallout continues, and lawmakers weigh in, it is having a direct and immediate effect on many families joining me now is gavi godel, who is undergoing fertility treatment. she wasn't alabama doing this before her clinic had to pause those ivf treatments. gabby, i talked to you earlier this week. i'm really glad to see you back here at that moment in time. you are about to get on a plane to texas because you were at the egg retrieval step of this process. can you update us on how things are going? >> yes. so after my clinic

shutdown on thursday we scrambled and we jumped on a plane to come to see our family in texas. and we were so lucky and blessed to have gotten into the clinic here in texas. they have worked with us, our team of doctors does have been wonderful and amazing and i offer a great deal of gratitude to them and we have gotten in here to finish off this procedure. it is not been the easiest on our family and we've needed a great deal of support, but i am one of the lucky ones that was able to finish this off. >> yeah >> because you were at the point this whole process to get to the egg retrieval, which is what you're trying to do right now, takes days of shots of very expensive medicine that you're using and it's all very specific about timing and how your body's responding to those drugs. so to put any pause in, it really puts the whole procedure at risk, right

>> absolutely. i have to go into my doctor's appointments to be monitored every other day. i have shots that i have to take out a very specific time every night. >> and any delay and taking the medication, any delay in these appointments could just wrap the whole cycle. so i was taking shots in an airport bathroom because of how sensitive this procedure and how sensitive the time is so again, it was not easy to hop on a plane it was my only option. >> right. >> and all of this because you want to be a mom, you want to have a baby >> absolutely. my husband and i desperately wanted to have a family. we've been trying for years and this test is our only option. >> so for people who don't know a lot about this process, can you help them understand how this court decision has had

such a huge impact on your personal life. obviously, through your travels and just trying to get to where you are today. it's been a lot, but this is this really been a huge part of your life? >> yes. >> so being right in the middle of a hearing in the court decision just days after i started my shots through my husband and i into a state of chaos, we weren't sure what this would mean for our embryos if we were able to create them in alabama where we were going to store for them when we heard our clinic was shut down our initial feeling was just loss. we felt loss for the future potential children that we were trying to have i think. a lot of people here that embryos are going to be protected in alabama and they rejoice in that. >> but >> instead it means that embryos are being created in alabama. >> it stopped that completely,

stopped >> the potential of future millions of future babies and alabama attorney general there in alabama, steve marshall has said that he has no intention of prosecuting ivf families or providers, but still, these clinics are clearly concerned because they're not sure about the legality of all this and yours is a prime example that has stopped a lot of what they are doing knowing what is your message to these lawmakers, who are making these decisions >> my message is for them to protect ivf and to that time is of the essence every day that you delay this process is another woman that can't finish shofar, her egg retrieval or get implanted or that they have to wait months for cycles to be given the green light. i mean, i was giving the greenlight the day before the decision happened and i'm very thankful that i was able to start this

procedure because if they had made it a week prior, i would be looking at months, possibly years of delays in starting my ivf journeys. so my message to them is timing is of the essence and the quicker that they can pass a law to protect ivf in alabama and ivf patients the better yeah. >> a time. one of the more precious resources in that process. all right. gabby goidel. thank you so much our best to you. we appreciate it. >> thank you, guys. >> still ahead tonight. what we're learning about the negotiations to bring israeli hostages home from gaza, and the obstacles that may you're in the cnn >> thank you. story of sin city in 98 ten cnn. >> these are japanese scallops and the best way to eat them is bra. >> perfect.

negotiators have agreed on the broad strokes of a deal to release more hostages held by hamas in exchange for a temporary ceasefire in gaza. that is, according to white house national security adviser, jake sullivan and though a final deal is still days away at the earliest, salven says representatives from israel, the us, egypt, and qatar have come to what he calls an understanding this morning, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke about talks with hamas >> hamas goes down from its delusional claims and goes down, can bring them down to earth. then we'll have the progress that we all want. hamas started out with just crazy demands. you know, it's it's too soon to say if there if they've abandoned them, but if they do abandon them and get into what you call the ballpark, they're not even in the city. they're in another planet, but if they come down to a reasonable situation, then yes, we'll have a hostages. i hope so

>> jeremy diamond joining us now from tel aviv. jeremy, what do we know about where those talks stand right now? >> well, jessica it's, not clear how close we are to a deal, but it is clear that we are at least moving towards one. it would appear whereas earlier in the week, we started, things really appear to be at a standstill between israel and hamas, both sides very much hardened in their positions but now after israeli negotiators returned from this key summit in paris on friday, they seem to have returned bringing a guarded sense of optimism. we've heard from both israeli and american officials, indicating that progress is being made in the talks safiya nagbe, israel's national security adviser saying that those negotiators who were in those meetings on friday did not feel like they came back to israel empty handed and that it would perhaps be possible to move forward towards a deal. we also heard from jake sullivan, the us national security adviser today, saying that the negotiators in paris harris had reached a quote understanding

on the contours of a potential deal and what else that we know is that tomorrow? and israeli delegation is set to travel to doha, qatar to continue those negotiations. so there is certainly a sense that progress is being made. there's certainly a sense of momentum, how close that actually brings us to achieving a deal is another question altogether, but we do know that time is certainly of the essence since we're about two weeks away from the start of ramadan and israeli government officials have indicated that if there is not a deal before then that the israeli military will move forward with this major ground offensive save into that city where we know that there are 1.5 million palestinians currently living there. and so far we haven't heard any details about exactly how the israeli government intends to evacuate them before moving forward with an offensive, something that us officials have been very clear needs to happen happen if that offensive is to move forward. what we do know though, is that the israeli prime minister, even as

he is engaging in these negotiations, even as he is indicating that perhaps a deal could be made, he is preparing for that offensive reviewing plans drafted by the israeli military for that civilian evacuation, but also critically for that major military offensive into what he has described as hamas's last bastion. jessica. >> all right, jeremy diamond for us in tel aviv tonight. our thanks tonight on cnn. could the decades of tension between the us and iran results in an even greater conflict in the middle east. fareed zakaria investigates why iran hates america. that's tonight at eight but still ahead, a winter warm up across the country this week, hundreds of cities will see near record breaking temperatures. we're tracking that for you ahead in the cnn newsroom thanks to the game. >> we should be in this next sec. shan >> that's good luck, boys >> just happened
