This morning some of musics biggest stars are showing off their grammy gold. It was a mix of longtime favorites and fresh talent. Kevin frazier from our partners at entertainment tonight joins us from the studios of e. T. Good morning to you. It was a long night. It was a long night and a fun night. Sam smith was the big winner. Best new arltest, new song of the year best new album. Best pop vocal. It was the best night from a man who loves to sing about heartache. It was much more than beginners luck for sam smith. Stay with me was last nights biggest hit and hell have it for a long time to come. Musics master of melancholy had to deal with a whole set of emotions backstage. Its a dream come true. Im the happiest ive ever been in my life. All smith needed for the perfect night was to win album of the night. That went to beck beating out ed sheeran, Pharrell Williams and beyonce. In a deja vu moment kanye west leapt to the stage to collect the award on beyonces behalf. Leading me on still beyonce enjoyed her moment in the spotlight grabbing three grammys, and there were other classic grammy moments, a powerful convenient between hozier and annie lennox. And madonnas matador production filled the stage. There was the bizarre kristen wiig doing an interpretive dance as she stood in for the notoriously camryeracamerashy moment. But there were still the serious moments. Albums still matter. Like books, albums still matter. Pharrells song happy used and his song from the movie selma. Reporter still what mattered most last night was the music. It was sam smiths night and his duet with mary j. Blige shows he could be a new artist with definite staying power. Stay, stay stay stay with me it really was a lovefest for sam. Meanwhile kanye west as we showed you returned to the grammys after a sixyear splash. It was that aborted stage rush after beck won album of the year that has people buzzing. Remember six years ago when taylor swift won. He was at it again. This time the outcome a little different. Well see you again in the next hour. The white house will welcome german chancellor angela merkel. Theyll talk about the conflict and how to handle putin. Good morning. Good morning. So far the president has resist resisted sending weapons off to ukraine but hes increasing pressure by members of congress and others to do so. Angela merkel and most west european nations are on the same page. Instead theyve threatened more sanctions if president putin doesnt agree to a deal to end the fighting in crew crane by wednesday when they meet. The president has options in hand including antitank weapons but the white house says its important to keep up a united front with the europeans and theyre insisting to us privately that the president will not be rushed into any decision, so what were likely to see in todays meeting is the threat of more sanctions but still the possibility of offensive weapons down the road. Jeff . Bill thank you very much. This morning the parents of an arizona woman taken hostage by isis are hoping their daughter is still alive. It was announced the Jordanian Air strikes killed Kayla Mueller. Good morning. She had been identified as the unidentified american female hostage held by isis. They withheld her name in an effort to secure her safety but with her identity revealed on friday the world is learning more about the selfless volunteer. I am in solidarity with the syrian people. Reporter 26yearold Kayla Mueller traveled to some of the worlds most dangerous locations, dedicating to helping the less fortunate, but now more than a year in captivity, her parents are praying for their daughters return home. The strain of not knowing where their daughter is at and whether or not shes alive or not is something thats starting to wear on them. Reporter in august 2013 mueller was kidnapped in syria leaving a hospital run by an aid group. Later the captors provided proof she was alive. Later forces found strands of hair believed to be mueller after an unsuccessful attempt to save american hostages in the city of syria. Isis said mueller had been killed in one of the Jordanian Air strikes seeking to destroy the terrorists strongholds. They claim she was killed in raqqah when the building she was being held in collapsed on top of her. On sunday jordan dismissed the claim as propaganda. What we know is theyre liars, they dont have any havent for human life. Thats why its difficult to make any accurate assessment or conclusion regarding the fate of the american lady. Reporter if muellers death is concerned, she would be the fourth american hostage killed while in isis captivity but her family and friends remain hopeful. Its time for this to have a happy ending and bring kayla home to her parents and family. Muellers parents released a statement asking her captors to contact them privately. Shes isiss last known american hostage. Thank you. In iraq americas staunchest fighters are known as the pes more ga, but theyre getting frustrated. Good moaning. Good morning. We traveled to mount sin. In northwestern kurdish iraq to land they recently recaptured from isis militants. The peshmerga men were fighting. They have the best track record of defeating the militants, but theyre massively outgunning. The Kurdish Forces say theyve clawed back 1,500 square miles of territory from isis since december and have done merely all of their fighting relying on small caliber weapons like these. Weve lost more than 1,000 peshmergas, and somewhere around 5,000 have been wounded. Reporter the Kurdish National security adviser told us 70 of those deaths could have been prevented if the u. S. Would give the peshmerga the hundreds of Armored Vehicles they want. So far theyve received just 25. Of course they all praise the peshmergas and thank us, but that is not enough. We need the equipment. Lets not forget. This is the war. The enemy doesnt wait. Theyre not waiting for us or for our allies to provide us with the right equipment. The armored cars would even offer some protection against the biggest killer of the kurdish fighters. Car and roadside bombs. In battle last month, isis attacked them with 14 car bombs in just one day. What do you say to the families of those men who have died whose deaths were preventible . These are our heros and we need to protect the heroes, and i think theyre the heroes of the free world, and its the responsibility of the International Community to protect them. The reason the u. S. Is reluctant to equip the peshmerga is the Kurdish People want independence and helping them angers both the Iraqi Government as well as the authorities in turkey where theres a large kurdish operation, but that leaves them desperately underequipped. Charlie. Thanks. North carolina flags are flying at halfstaff this morning for hall of fame coach dean smith. He died at the age of 83.

The pacific storm dropped several inches in Northern California over the weekend. That caused flooding and knocked out power around the region. Carter evans is there where the last of the rain pushes east. Good morning. Reporter good morning. After historic amounts. February has been a different story in Northern California with two powerful storms passing through in just a matter of days. For the second time in three days, a powerful pacific storm dumped heavy rain on Northern California. Packing winds up to 50 miles an hour. Strong enough to bring down trees. Fences are down. They dont have their yard anymore, but, you know well deal with it. In sacramento flood warnings were issued and slick roads were blamed for several violent car wrecks. Some of this weekends storms created what meteorologists call an Atmospheric River, bringing amounts of moisture from the Hawaiian Islands to the pacific northwest. Now scientists are getting the chance to study the phenomenon up close. Went along as they flew directly into sundays storm. This is essentially a flying weather lab. Scientists use sep sores on the plane to take wind and moisture readings. Meteorologists want to learn how these storms form so they can better understand californias drought patterns and better anticipate severe flooding. Why is it so important that they fly into the Atmospheric River to take reads . Because we need actual observations. The more we need to know about structures, the more we can anticipate true rainfall amounts. Well, any amount of rain helps. It really only makes a accident in this drought right now. The real hope is these will bring snowfall to higher elevations. All that snow in the summer will eventually end up in californias reservoirs. Game . All right. Thank you. They need the water.

The beyonce video and beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given the award to beyonce. We as musicians have to inspire who go to work every day and they listen to that album and they feel like it takes them to another place, but i am here to fight for creativity. Thats the reason why i didnt say anything. Look at kims face. Shes saying okay dear. I thought she was kidding too. Give me a break. As if beck is not creative. Seriously. Exactly.
