Three decades, but it was the first time he stepped on the court as an openly gay man. Number 46, Jason Collins. Reporter as he took the court, Jason Collins became the first openly gay athlete to it play professional sports in the United States. Collins signed a tenday deal before the game. Thats amazing that the nets were willing to open up and allow him to still showcase his talents even though his Sexual Orientation may be most. Reporter he was a free agent when he made the announcement. I always try to stay positive and control what i cant control. Its my training. So i always try to focus on that, being positive and staying ready. Thats part of being a professional. Reporter now that the opportunity is here, collins says his head is in game. Its about focusing on the task at hand and not thinking about history or anything along those lines. Reporter the nets coach says theres a familiarity with Jason Collins. They have played together and hes a professional that he knows this game and at the end of the day, thats what the nets want to do. They want to win games. As collins is making history on the court, michael sam is doing the sam on the field. At the nfl combine, he said he. S his athleticism to speak for itself. I wish you guys would see me as michael sam the Football Player instead of the gay Football Player. Reporter collins says life is much better now. I dont have to hide who i am. I can be my normal self. The past ten months has been incredible. Collins says that playing in los angeles was especially heartfelt for him since hes from here. Feeling that hometown love was good for him. One other note to mention here too. He was playing under the number 46 but Going Forward he will be playing under the number 98 and thats an ode to matthew shepard, the man who was killed in a hate crime at the university of wyoming for being gay. Thats the reason why they believe he was killed. That means a lot to him. Thank you. Lets turn to breaking news overseas from the ukraine where the former president has been a wanted man. Hes on the run as a warrant has been issued for husband arrest. The charge, mass murder. And major questions are facing russian president Vladimir Putin as to his next move. Nick pai ton w Nick Paton Walsh has the latest for us. We are waiting to hear a big word from president putin. Hes been silent despite the fact the former president is gone in a days from a ruler to a man on the run in the south of the country. A remarkable transformation over the weekend here. But we spent some time inside the private residence where we saw examples of the unbelievable wealth he apparently accumulated. The ousted president is. Ed for mass murder and on the run in the south probably seen leaving a private house there. Ukraine is still on the streets watching a new government form, mourning the dead and enjoying a strange period when the people are the only real power around. Moscow has been pretty silent so far. The expresident and the United States hope it stays out militarily u. That would be a grave mistake. Reporter they are digest in the collapse and the wealth of the former president here at his personal retreat. A day at see what many can buy if you dont have anything sensible to do with it. It may be their former owner who is behind the bars. He didnt even drive these cars. In the end he fled in the president ial helicopter. And not in this, a massive river boat for partying. Outside fascination at the life he led and they could only look in on while their country stagnated. Inside, gifts from guests. Months ahead when ukraine comes to terms with a troubled economy and ask where did all the money go, here is part of the answer. President s own vodka. We later got inside his house. A bizarre, enormous empty mansion. It was vacant. Everything laid on, even a tunnel linking the houses across miles and miles of grounds. The luxury literally never seemed to end. In his bedroom, one bell for sex, one for alcohol. It was presumably a joke, but how he lived to the people whose money this was isnt. Such a bizarre atmosphere inside that empty house. No one there seemed to have enjoyed it while he was there, but those missing billions people were now increasingly focused upon. Ukraine said it needs 35 billion, some of it hopes from america to see it out of the economic crisis thats coming to him now. Behind me people are mourning on the square here. A somber atmosphere still. The focus will be on the hard grind ahead of getting this country back on its feet. Thank you for what the look at the past. The question will be how does it get affected Going Forward . The question is obvious and right in front of your face. The e question for us will be in the u. S. , how do you respond . This is what we could see happening with putin. The first, putin could mess with ukraines money to put it blankly. All this began when the ukraine backed out of a deal with the eu to take billions of dollars from russia as well as fuel, oil and gas. What could he do now . He could withhold that money and keep leverage with what happens Going Forward. The second option would be russia could put boots on the ground in ukraine. Putin did it before in georgia in 2008. This it time he could be doing it in defiance of what was requested by the u. S. That puts it on president obama to put teeth behind his talk. Think red line politics from syria. And then the third option, what putin could do is encourage secession in the ukraine. The eastern half is russian in culture and language. Putin could try to break that part off for himself. That would be unacceptable. Not just to the people there, but to the International Community as well. So these are the different options were going to see how it unfolds. Well talk with Christiane Amanpour about which ones are realistic. Thats ground. Work of where we are at Going Forward. Breaking news from egypt where much of the government has now apparently submitted its resignation starting with the Prime Minister. Its unclear who else has joined him. Its unclear their reasons or when. Those resignations will take effect. No word if the interim president has send the resignations either. Attorney general eric holder said congress should pass legislation requiring companies to disclose data breaches. He said customers should have to be told quickly when personal information is put at risk so they can protect themselves from identity theft. Higher standards would hold Companies Accountable when they fail to hold data safe. The pentagon is planning to shrink the u. S. Army. The defense secretary wants to reduce army forces to their lowest level since before world war ii and also eliminate an entire class of air force attack jets. Details will be released later today and must be approved by congress.

Despite the springlike temperatures, and i loved them over the weekend, parts of the country felt it over the weekend, another blast of arkic air is heading this way. Say it aint so. We are tracking it all. Whats it looking like . Its a tough monday to keep sharing this. Who wants spring temperatures . We want more cold, arctic air because thats exactly what well be getting. Diving down from the midwest each day. The temperatures are going to get colder. Lets do a comparison. Yesterdays temperature, these looked good. Almost 70s into the southeast. Todays temperatures not as pretty, but not so bad just yet. Only 30s towards new york city. Notice the midwest starting to seat cold air first. Who is seeing temperatures their highs below freezing or at the freezing mark. The midwest and in towards maine. By tomorrow seeing the cold air sag farther to the south by wednesday thats the outtrack going all the way down. Even nashville seeing their high below freezing. Well see windy conditions as the cold air moves in. Then tuesday in through wednesday, even some snow into the mix. So happy monday. Its difficult. No one likes to see me today. Its still winter. We have to come to terms with that. A couple more weeks. Some people just got their cars unmelted. It looked good for a day. I was nervous for some of those cars. People are happy to see you, but that line of cold weather, that did not work. That did not work. Ill try again. Youll get more chances. A little bit of a spoiler alert here. Not as much as it was before. You have to know the olympics are over. Sunday marked the one final day of competition as the russians delighted the hometown crowd with lastminute heroics. This elaborate closing ceremony went off without a hitch. Except for one deliberate mistake. Ivan wa ivan watson is wrapping up our olympic coverage. Reporter good morning, chris. Its seriously suntanning weather right now. Its pretty warm right now. I was in the stadium behind me last night for the closing ceremony. I saw the russian president clapping to the dance music along with tens of thousands of other spectators as the russians bid at times a triumphant, emotional and sometimes humorous farewell to the Olympic Games. In an explosive closing ceremony, russia waved farewell with style and grace. In a show of class that won applause from within the stadium, the host country even poked fun at itself. Mirroring the mistake in the opening ceremony, one ring seemingly unable to perform until the finale. For russia, it was this final event that sealed the host countrys fate atop the games medal taubl. The twohour race all came down to this heartpounding sprint. A dramatic ending as russia crossed the finish line just ahead. A one, two, three sweep for team russia. And piloted his fourman team to the top of the podium. Russia clinching the lead less than. 1 of a second. In the Olympic Games with two gold medals. The first driver to do so in bobsled for a host nation. The race marked a historic victory for team usa as well. Steven holkin secured third place by just. 03. The victory ended usas dry spell. The 33yearold becoming the First American pilot to win medals in both races in more than five decades. But out on the hockey rink, it was team canada who left the ice celebrating. In a 30 shutout, Jonathan Towse sunk the puck. The first hockey Team Undefeated in 30 years. Now at the close of the 2014 sochi olympics, russia hands the games flag off to south korea, a passing of the torch to the host of the 2018 winter games in pyongyang. In the stadium, i saw some of the young, enthusiastic russian volunteers wiping away tears at end of the closing ceremony. It was emotional. But the good will may not last long. Police have detained already more than 200 protesters outside a moscow courthouse. People protesting against the conviction of protesters from 2012. A lot of activists telling me they are worried the kremlin will crack down hard on critics of the government now that the Olympic Games are over. Well keep watching that. It matters beyond the scope of the olympics. Thanks for that this morning. What is the final medal count . Russia got the most, 33. Youre looking at it right there. 13 gold. Team usa, second overall. Followed by norway, canada and netherlands. 10, 10, 5. Just need to recognize those numbers. I lost the womans hockey game. And i convinced you to double down. Some people told me to protest with instant replay usa won the game. Thats not how i am. I lost the bet. I must wear mix mittens, which she forgot. There will be an adult exchange later on. Easy.

One person is dead and dozens more recovering from a Carbon Monoxide leak. This is one of two other recent incidents were people were killed or hospitalized after exposure to the deadly gas. Alexander field has more on the details. This is very scary. It really is. Over this winter, so many of us have experienced these severe temperatures. We know when it gets cold, the expoture to Carbon Monoxide gets more deadly. We dont always know what precautions have been taken in public places. Thats why we need to know the signs of a problem. Reporter this morning crews at a busy mall, Steven Nelson found unconscious in the basement of a Legal Sea Foods he managed. The 55yearold pronounced dead at a hospital. 27 other people, 7 of them First Responders, sent to hospitals with symptoms of Carbon Monoxide exposure. This is news you dont expect to hear. Its almost unexpectedly losing a loved one. Reporter the restaurant didnt have a Carbon Monoxide detector. New york state fire code doesnt require them in restaurants. We always assume something is in place, but the reality is there isnt anything in place. This is sort of a sad wakeup call for everyone. Reporter Officials Say the deadly gas spread through the basement because of a leak in the pipe of a water heater. Seven people in maine were also taken to area hospitals complaining of symptoms at their hotel. They found high levels of Carbon Monoxide. Last year three people died in the same room at a North Carolina hotel almost two months apart. Fire officials traced the Carbon Monoxide to ventilation pipes for a pool heater placed near an airconditioning unit for their room. You wont know theres a leak without a working Carbon Monoxide detector. They could go into a coma or d die. Reporter risk goes up when the temperature goes down. It start in the basement where heating equipment is often kept. Danger follows when it isnt properly ventilated. If you hold a match by the flew, youll see the flame go up. If it blows towards you, theres something wrong. Dizziness, nausea are some of the symptoms. If you feel them, open the door or window. Get out of the environment. Those are the symptoms that the emergency workers in long island recognized over the weekend. Thats why they are able to get so many people out. So scary it took them sensing those symptoms. Then they realized what they were dealing with. It took them having to arrive at the restaurant. They knew when they walked in
