Good morning. Reporter good morning. While youre not seeing the large piles of snow you expect to see whenever were talking about winter weather, heres where you can see the large piles of ice are still covering the roads and the sidewalks. In fact, you can see how thick this chunk of ice is here. Tennessee is expecting more precipitation coming through this afternoon and for the second time this week an ice storm warning is expected. Crews are out again this morning ahead of the storm, clearing and saltinging the roads. Some parts of the state could see 4 inches of snow. But the biggest concern is the amount of ice we could see throughout the day especially with the freezing temperatures and the timing of the storm is key. While Officials Say folks could be able to get to work this morning, the drive home could be a completely different story. Those temperatures here have not been above freezing for almost a week straight and nearly 6,000 people are without power still this morning. To put it lightly, its been a long few days.

Lonnie thanks so much. This morning the fda is warning doctors about the medical devices behind the super bug. Omar villafranca is there as doctors stress there is no threat to the public. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning, norah. This is the type of tee advice thats causing all the problems. Its an endoscope similar to ones in hospitals that might carry the bacteria. This goes down a patients throat through their stomach to look at the small intestine. Theres a tiny camera at the end and a moveable part right there so doctors can manipulate a catheter. The tubing itself can move left and right and its all of these moving parts that make sterilizing so difficult. Were very sorry about some of the anxiety and concern that the situation has posed for our patients as well as our community. Reporter exposure to the socalled super bug called cre happened between october and january while doctors were using two medical devices called endoscopes that might not have been properly cleaned. What we really have to do is really meticulously go through the patient charts and ensure that they were, indeed exposed. Reporter these types of scopes are a common medical tool that doctors use to inspect a patients digestive track. The doctor detects it after each use. Its not easy to sterilize. Any of these organism they can grow up in moist that remains in the scope overnight and becomes millions to billions of organisms by the next morning. Reporter one infected High School Student has spent months in the hospital fighting the bug. The lawyer does not blame the hospital. They changed the device last year without changing its cleaning protocol. A change you can market to doctors that look what weve dub, now it is easy to use. Too often they overlook the next step which is ensuring that the device is not dangerous. Reporter now, olympus who provides the endoscopes said theyre working with fda and our customers regarding their concern. Thats what the company said. Omar thanks. This morning iraqi troops are making plans to take back the largest city held by isis in iraq. Theyll be part of a spring offensive to retake mosul. The city fell to isil in june. Holly williams is in istanbul with a question as to whether some iraqi soldiers will be ready for the fight. Good morning. Reporter good morning. We were told a spring offensive on mosul is simply unrealistic. Some say the earliest they could be ready is in the fall. Anrican military official says 10,000 iraqi soldiers have gone through training with the u. S. And its Coalition Partners and theyll push on isis this spring. Backed by u. S. Led air strikes. Just outside of mosul, another 3,000 men, mostly policemen, are being trained to help retake iraqs second largest city. But very few have any fighting experience, and they told us theyre still short of weapons. Also involved will be the kurdish soldiers. From a hilltop overlooking mosul in october they showed us territory they clawed back from the extremists. But members of an ethnic minority, kurdish fighters will be considered foreign invaders if they try to recapture mosul alone and this month their commanders told us theyre still massively outgunned by isis. What kind of equipment does isis have that you lack . Isis seized weapons from both syria and the iraqi army so were talking about at least 1,500 humvees, were talking about 155 howitzer american, were talking about armored vehicles. Were talking about tanks, heavy machine guns loads of ammunition. Reporter if this mosul offensive does go ahead in the spring its not clear whether it will involve u. S. Military advisers already on the ground in iraq. Charlie . Holly, thanks. Theyre calling on social media sites to take more responsibility in the battle against isis. Thats in our next half hour.

He became angry after crystal honked the horn at him. Tammy drove her daughter home and took off hwith her 22yearold son who was armed with a gun. She was drytrying to draw the suspect away from her house. She was trying to protect me. Thats all she was doing. Reporter when they returned the shooter struck tammy meyers in the head. I did what i had to do to protect my family. Everyone can thing what they think. I did it for a reason. Reporter now his media account showed him with marijuana. Meyers wife tried to help him.
