Good morning, everyone. It is monday, january 23rd. Im alex widtt alongside louis burgdorf. Severe storms hit along georgia and the south after 18 are dead and 23 are injured. Several counties were trying to recover after being hit by a previous round of tornadoes. In a small town called adel is where they were hit the hardest. I stood behind the door and the debris was just coming through the front window. And he went to her, she was screaming for him, and he was hollering for her. She was right there in the kitchen. Because when he came out to get her, everything on the back of the house, all the patio doors just went through the house. Those powerful storms in georgia left a trail of destruction in mississippi. On saturday at least four people were killed and dozens more injured when a tornado touched down in the southern part of that state. And there were similar scenes in texas where several homes were damaged after possible tornados. Powerful storm dumped rain and hail in louisiana over the weekend and forecasters say the threat of Severe Weather is not over yet. Meteorologist bill karins is busy and will have a check on the forecast in a couple minutes for us, louis. And on the first day for the Trump Administration, hes going to set the record straight on how many people attended the inauguration. With photos like these making their way around social media compared to the obama inaugural in 2009. The president addressed it while speaking at the Armed Services inaugural ball as well as the cia headquarters. And it was the topic of sean spicers press statement flanked by visual aids. Even the media said the crowd was massive. So finally, that was a big that was all the way back down to the Washington Monument. That was that was what was supposed to be rain turned out not to be rain. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. As you know, i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. [ applause ] right . Did they really like the speech . They had to laugh. We had a massive field of people, you saw it, packed. I get up this morning and i see one of the networks showing an empty field. I say, wait a minute, i made a speech and i looked out. The field looked like a million, million and a half people. They showed a field where there were practically nobody standing. And they said, donald trump did not draw i said, it was almost raining. The rain should have scared them away, but god looked down and said, were not going to let it rain on your speech. We had 250,000 people literally around in the little mall that we constructed. That was 250,000 people. The rest of the 20block area all the way back to the Washington Monument was packed. So we caught them. And we caught them and i think they are going to pay a big prize. Photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally frame in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the national mall. This was the first time in our nations history that Floor Coverings have been used to protect the grass on the mall. That had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing while in years past the grass eliminated this visual. This is also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the wall preventing hundreds of thousands of people being able to access the mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past. Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted. No one had numbers. Because the National Park service, which controls the national mall, does not put any out. The press secretary also claimed massive numbers of Public Transit ridership, but according to the authority in d. C. And the Washington Post, the ridership was lower than during obamas second inaugural and lower than some weekdays. Trump also tweeted about tv viewership, wow, Television Ratings just out. 31 Million People watched the inauguration, 11 million more than the inauguration four years ago. According to viewership numbers, his numbers were better than four years ago. Kellyanne conway was on meet the press to address this. You did not answer the question. Why did the press secretary come out to utter a falsehood. It undermines the press office on day one. No it doesnt. Youre saying its a falsehood and they are giving sean spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that. But the point is that there wait a minute, alternative facts . Alternative facts for the five facts he uttered. Four of the five facts he uttered were just not true. Alternative facts are not facts, theyre falsehoods. The crowd at the president s inauguration stood in contrast to the thousands of men and women who filled the streets a day later to protest. In countries around the world, streets were filled with peaceful demonstrators. Organizers estimate about 3 Million People worldwide took part in the womens marches on saturday. A Trump Administration official responded to the demonstrations yesterday condemning the alleged banning of antiabortion groups writing in part, its a shame that the march for life will not get anywhere near the same amount of coverage that this march got. And those prolife members were not welcome at the womens march. The official also condemned madonna, one of the celebrities who spoke at the march, for saying she had thought about blowing up the white house writing, comments like these are absolutely unacceptable and had they been said about president obama, the Mainstream Media would be in an uproar. Donald trump weigh in on the march sunday morning tweeting, watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election why didnt these people vote . Celebs hurt cause badly. Then in another later tweet a couple hours later he said, peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if i dont always agree, i recognize the ability for people to express their views. Hillary clinton weighed in on social media tweeting, scrolling through images of the womensmarch is aweinspiring. Hope it brought joy to others as it did to me. Thanks for standing, speaking and marching for our values womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we are always standing tother. And trump visits with the intelligence nacommunity. And he said that there is a controversy created by the media. I want to say there is nobody that supports the cia more than me, nobody. The wall behind me is very special. And i want you to know, i am so behind you. And i know sometimes you have not gotten the backing that youve wanted, and youre going to get so much backing and say, please dont give us so much backing. Mr. President , please, we dont need that much backing. The military gave us tremendous percentages of votes. We were unbelievably successful in the election with getting the vote of the military, probably almost everybody in this room voted for me. But i will not ask you to raise your hands if you did. But i would guarantee a big portion, because were all in the same wavelength, folks. Were all in the same wavelength. As you know, i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. [ applause ] right . And they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. And i just want to let you know, the reason youre the number one stop is exactly the opposite. Exactly. And they understand that, too. President trump has criticized intelligence agencies on multiple occasions, less than two weeks ago comparing leaks about his relationship with russia with the tactics of nazi germany. And the nature of the president s political tone at the memorial for fallen Intelligence Officers drew rebukes from former agency leaders. A spokesperson for a former cia director john brennan said, the veteran agency is deeply saddened at Donald Trumps despicable display of selfaggrandizement. He should be ashamed of himself. And Michael Harden said he was heartened that the president gave a speech at cia. This as Senate Democrats stole the confirmation of trumps nominee for cia director mike pom p pompeo which the administration hoped for today demanding a debate first. Pompeo accompanied trump to the headquarters where the president spoke about missed opportunities and future ones. The old expression to the victor belong the spoils, you remember, they used to say keep the oil. I wasnt a fan of iraq, i didnt want to go into iraq, but i will tell you, when we were in, we got out wrong. And i always said, in addition to that, keep the oil. Now, i said it for economic reasons. But if you think about it, mike, if we kept the oil, you probably wouldnt have isis because thats where they made their money in the first place. But okay, maybe well have another chance. As he begins his first workweek, President Trump is flushing out Foreign Policy to put american first. The president spoke with canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau and mexicos president on the phone on saturday and plans to meet with them soon. He added that renegotiating the north American Free trade agreement will be a top priority. Both leaders said they would be willing to discuss the terms of the deal. Meanwhile, the president will welcome the first foreign leader to the white house on friday when Prime Minister teresa may arrives. She plans to talk about the u. K. Relations postbrexit saying she wont be afraid to challenge him. Ill be talking to donald trump about the issues that we share about how we can build on the special relationship. Yes, its a special relationship, but also enables us to say, when we do find things unacceptable. And you will say that, too . Whenever there is something i find up acceptable, up wont be afraid to say that to donald trump. Ive already said some of the comments donald trump has made to women are unacceptable. Some of them he has apologized for. When i sit down, i think the biggest statement that will be made about the role of women is the fact that ill be there as a female Prime Minister, Prime Minister of the united kingdom. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has extended an invitation to meet at the white house next month. He said the discussions have been very warm. And the white house says that the president confirmed his unprecedented commitment to israels security. And the peace between israel and the palestinians can only be achieved through direct negotiation. Not on the agenda, trumps promise to move the embassy in tel aviv to jerusalem. The white house spokesman scene spicer says were at the beginning stages of disdcussing this subject. Mahmoud abbas says this would cross a red line. And turning to the update on the United Airlines computer glitch after grounding all domestic flights around 5 30 p. M. Yesterday. Flights resumed just after 9 00 p. M. Last night. United said the glitch affected the airlines ability to get details that allowed planes to depart such as weight and balance information. They couldnt get that to the pilots causing 500 delays. The technologyrelated delay is one of several in Major Airlines from last summer. Delta and southwest resulted in thousands of flight cancellations.

We have to get right to the weather, theres a lot to talk about. Two mornings in a row. These overnight tornadoes, theyre scary, youre in bed and you hear the sirens. We woke up saturday morning in hattiesburg and had fatalities with that one. And then albany, georgia, adel, georgia, those areas were hit sunday morning. Two mornings in a row devastating tornadoing. In all, 18 fatalities. We were petrified that the atmosphere was prime for more additional nasty tornadoes last night. Thankfully, we only had five or six tornadoes, most of them were misses and no fatalities last night. It was good to make it through yesterday, but what a weekend in the south. That storm is still with us, but the severe part is over with. We had strong storms in miami to keep people up for two hours as we had tornado warnings for downtown miami. Thankfully, no tornado reported. So now its a big huge wind maker and rainmaker moving up the coast. This means more travel delays and wind damage on the coast from here on out. This is one to two inches of rain, so a good soaking rain late tonight and early tomorrow morning through all of new england. Flood watches for boston and new york. And again, with the windy conditions and the rain, major airport delays during the day today. D. C. , philadelphia, tonight in areas of new york city, then tomorrow morning possibly around boston. So the current wind gusts, its still very windy in the southeast, but the Severe Threat is over with. We wont see much additional wind damage. Now well watch the high winds coming up to the coastal areas. Already 45mileperhour winds. This is a noreaster situation blowing right into the coast. So large waves at the beaches. Well have a little bit of a beach erosion problem at the high tide cycles. And then what well watch throughout the night tonight as the winds really pick up, especially in the coastal areas, 43 and 45. And late tonight, 50 in montauk by 8 00 p. M. Heading to cape cod, they get wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. Alex, were not going to see more destruction from tornadoes or Severe Weather, but its going to be like a raw noreaster with a lot of rain and wind in new england. Okay. Thank you for the headsup on that bill, appreciate it. Lets get to this, one person is dead and five more injured after what authorities are calling an absolutely senseless shooting at a mall in san antonio. Police say that two bystanders confronted two robbers as they fled a Jewelry Store in that mall. One of the suspects then opened fire killing one of the bystanders. Now the other individual who has a conceal and carry license then shot and injured that suspect in critical condition. The other suspect was able to get away but captured last night. They both face multiple charges including capital murder. That is senseless. Definitely senseless. Another tragic story out of the sports world. Nearly four months after the shocking death of marlins jose fernandez, Major League Baseball is mourning the loss of another rising star. The news coming yesterday morning, Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura die in a car wreck in his home country of the Dominican Republic. No further details surrounding the accident have been divulged. Outside of an official statement from the royals confirming venturas death. The fouryear veteran spent his entire professional career in kansas city, first appearing on an mlb mound in 2013. Ventura made nine postseason starts, pitched in two world series and helped the royals to a championship title in 2015. He was just 25 years old. And former major League Infielder andy marte was also kill in a separate car accident in the Dominican Republic early sunday morning. The 33yearold marte appeared for the braves and the indians and the diamondbacks from 2005 to 2014. Both way before their time, so tragic. Our hearts go out to their families. And when we come back, well have much more on this news.
