they have activated federal and local resources to find the missing americans. josh campbell has the latest. >> reporter: special agents are working with authorities in mexico to locate four americans who were kidnapped after traveling from texas into mexico. the fbi says a group opened fire on these americans eventually taking them captain. a u.s. official tells me this appears to be a case of mistaken identity, that law enforcement believed that group of cartel members mistook these americans for haitian drug smugglers. as far as why the americans were there, a source tells me officials believe that they were there to obtain some type of medical procedure. of course it is not uncommon ca travel to mexico for lower priced drugs or procedures. and they found inside the vehicle receipts indicating that there was some type of medical procedure planned. i want to show you this video.

and this is graphic. a source says this is the aftermath of the incident where you see gunmen taking a group of people, putting them in the back of this white truck. cnn cannot independently confirm that those individuals being loaded in the vehicle are indeed the americans, but a source says this is related to that incident. as far as where this goes next, the mexican government says that all agencies within the federal government as well as state authorities are working with their u.s. partners in order to try to locate these americans. the fbi has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the location of these americans as well as the identification of their captors. josh campbell, cnn, los angeles. the u.s. state department is assisting the fbi and other agencies involved in the kidnapping and says that americans should not travel to this part of mexico. in we' >> we're standing railroaded for

any assistance and we remind americans about the existing travel guidance, travel advisory remains at level 4 and we encourage americans to heed that advice. >> cartels are active in matamoros but there are options to get help. >> the fbi has no legal authority on the ground, they can't run the case. but what they can do is leverage the relationships that they have on the ground with the mexican federal police, with the state police, with other agencies. and there are other agencies there on the ground at the embassy who work through the ambassador. you've got cia, nsa, dea, you've got a lot of resources that can be brought to bear and information that can be fed to mexican authorities that can help they will to who is behind this, what is behind this where they are. you've got a really dynamic picture on that border.

picture brownsville, the rio grand, and matamoros right on the other side of this border. this is a town where you've got immigrants being run by smugglers who are coming up from south america, from central america, and from mexico where the gulf cartel along with its drug business has an entire network that brings those people across the border. now you also have immigrants from haiti who are being smuggled in through central america and up into mexico and haitian networks that are trying to bring them across as well. the gulf cartel does not like outsiders, does not like competition, does not like anybody who is not kicking back. >> officials in rochester, new york are investigating the deaths of two people caught in a stampede at a concert. eight others were injured. police say a large crowd started pushing toward the exits sunday night. a lot of people say they heard what sounded like gunshots. >> going toward the door to leave out and everybody started

rushing back so we started running. >> doing a lot of pushing and shoving. i was one that was on the ground. thank god i did get up. but you know everybody wasn't so fortunate. it was a different experience, very scary. never been through nothing like this. >> the city's mayor says it is too early to say what led to the incident. authorities are investigating what the proper safety measures were and were they followed. and there is growing concern about aviation safety in the u.s. after a series of estimates in -- incidents in the air and on the ground. latest was a man tried to open an emergency exit door mid flight before attempting to stab a flight attendant in the neck with a broken metal spoon. >> that man, francisco torez, was tackled by other passengers

and zip tied according to a woman on the flight and immediately taken into custody once the plane landed. torez told law enforcement he was trying to defend himself because he believed the flight atten attendants were trying to kill him. we've been doing a lot of these stories. >> certainly have. >> it is a safe form of travel. >> so you keep telling me. i always make sure that i have something that can subdue an unruly passenger, of course tsa approved. and there was a collision between two united airline flights at boston ologan airpor. one clipped the tail of another. and a passenger described the harrowing moment. >> we were just loading everybody on the plane and then the whole plane started shaking and there was a plane that pulled out of another gate, a tug was pushing it back and the

wing on that plane clipped the back wing of our plane. >> you cancan you describe whatt like? >> the whole plane went like just a pretty big shake. and in florida on february 16, an american airlines flight was forced to abort an initial landing because an air canada flight was taking off from the same runway. tom foreman looks at other recent near disasters. >> reporter: an engine bursting into flames, smoke filling the cab in and an emergency landing. all alarming to passengers on this southwest flight from cuba to florida which had to turn back after hitting birds. >> explosion. a lot of smoke. >> people were screaming, not knowing what to do. kept trying to breathe and it was filling up with more smoke.

>> reporter: in boston, a trifecta of trouble. federal authorities say a man attempted to open an exit door on united jet coming from elos angeles and allegedly tried to stab a flight attendant with a broken spoon before being tackled by other passengers. and on the ground two planes collided as one was being pushed back from its gate, all of that just a week after a lear jet almost litt edcollided with ano jet. >> there is a lot of runway alerting systems and they have a lot of advisory programs, but despite all of the efforts, runway incursions are increasing. statistics are headed wrong way and it is the most dangerous thing in aviation today. >> reporter: and still more trouble. last week a lufthansa plane carrying among others actor math

new mcconaughey and his wife ran into severe turbulence. she posted i was told the plane dropped almost 4,000 feet, seven people went to the hospital. a different passenger said -- >> suddenly there was a big drop and everything just flew everywhere and it was a huge mess. and i saw the attendant on my right basically hit the ceiling and was completely horizontal. >> medical emergency landing runway 6. >> reporter: and in yet another case of violent turbulence, a private jet over new england was hit so hard one of the three passengers, a woman from maryland, died. >> all the information i have about the emergency is possible laceration, requesting medical assistance. >> reporter: and the national transportation safety board says moments before the turbulence that plane also experienced a problem with its trim control. >> they were in the process of diagnosing that when they

received a momentary in-flight upset. and so this is something that we are investigating. >> reporter: some of these incidents may just be coincidences, some may point to deeper problems. but they all underscore how the airline industry is still stumbling long a bit as it tries to bounce back from some trying years. tom foreman, cnn, washington. conditions across the u.s. have been either hot or cold over the past few week. you can tell i have meteorological experience. with record high for the month of february in some places and winter storms elsewhere. at least 13 million americans were under alerts on monday. >> forecasters are predicting even more changes as a cold snap could bring snow as low as the southern appalachian mountains. states in the southeast could be in for a rude awakening with abnormally warm temperatures set to plunge at least 15 degrees.

and california continues to bear the brunt of winter storms, nearly two weeks of snow that hasn't melted in some areas, some counties are declaring local emergencies. and more snow is on the way. >> northern parts of the state can could see up to 3 feet of snow. and trapped residents in southern california are getting desperate as they wait for government help. tensions are starting to run high. camila bernal has more from san bernardino county. >> reporter: residents here are still frustrated and so upset just because of how long this entire process is taking. there are people here that have been at their homes for more than ten days without being able to leave, without access to food, a grocery store, a pharmacy. here behind me is the only grocery store in town and the roof collapsed because there was so much snow accumulated at the top of the grocery store that it no longer is open. and so people have to rely on

donations. this community is coming together as you can see here behind me, they brought firewood and the problem is that i talked to other people who told me, look, i can't even turn on my fireplace because there is so much snow. so the ones that can, they are here trying to get anything they can to make their lives a little bit easier. i've talked to people who are stuck higher up in the mountains who tell me, look, i can't even make it to the places where they are giving out these donations. and so that frustration just accumulates day after day after day. here is what some of the residents have told me. >> there has been 13 -- this will be 14 days. and, yeah, we had a full freezer and refrigerator. and they are getting down there. >> i'm feeling frustrated. i feel like i'm in prison. it is scary, frustrating and frightening. mostly -- just gets my anxiety going up more so that i cannot control obviously.

>> reporter: and we've seen people coming for donations all day long. there is food being offered, water bottles, formula, food for pets. that was one of the concerns that i kept hearing over and over again. people who say look, i'm running out of a lot of supplies and i don't know how many more days that i can go without. authorities saying that they are making progress. they say that so far they have been able to essentially clear about 85% of the roads in this area. the problem is there is a lot of side streets that are still blocked off because of the snow and many of the residents telling me that that is why they can't leave their homes, they are wanting for this entire process to move a little faster, but as of now authorities are saying that they have to wait. camila bernal, cnn, crestline, california. former u.s. vice president mike pence is asking a judge to block a grand jury subpoena for his testimony about january 6. a source says he claims to be

it on three sides as ukraine desperately tries to depends them off. today we met bakhmut's deputy mayor at a makeshift aid center. he tells us it is verydepends tm off. today we met bakhmut's deputy mayor at a makeshift aid center. he tells us it is very hard to persuade the civilians left there to leave. they say they have no where to go and have no money. it is hard to survive there, he says. it is not life, it is survival. drinking water is a big problem. walking to the well is dangerous, he says. shells landing on your head all the time. all he now feels he tells us is fear. and sadness. everyone here knows how hard it will be for ukraine to hold on to bakhmut. his elderly mother with disabilities didn't want to leave but he managed to convince her. i don't know if my house is still standing, she tells us. very painful thinking about those still this bakhmut. her eyes well up.

convention, prisoners of war cannot be tortured or killed. what more are we learning about this video and what action might be taking? >> this chilling video is being shared widely among ukrainians who see it as yet another illustration of the mercilessness of russian troops on the ground. and as you mentioned, this is a potential violation of course of the fgeneva convention and president zelenskyy promises to take them to justice. >> translator: today a video has been released showing how the occupiers brutally killed a warrior who bravely said to their faces glory to ukraine. i want us all to respond to his words in unity. glory to the hero. glory to heros. glory to ukraine. >> the final words uttered by that soldier, glory to ukraine, that has been repeateds as a slogan as a moment of defiance

even in the face of death, his last moments. and what is interesting to note about this conflict is simultaneously while ukrainian forces are fighting this war, while president zelenskyy is leading this battle, he is also simultaneously collecting evidence for a potential international trial to bring any potential violators of international law to justice. and we've seen that taking place just in the last few days. he had visits from international partners, they are working on setting up a center by the hague by the icc. and from myself being on the ground, if you arrive at the site of a building or mall that has been struck by russian artillery, you will immediately see investigators arriving on the scene collecting that evidence. and so for the family of this victim that you see in that video, absolutely horrifying for them to witness this, but there is hope that there could be justice. and what you will hear kyiv say

over and over again is that there can be no peace in the future unless we bring that justice, unless we bring that accountability. >> salma abdelaziz, thank you so much. unions and opposition party say they are hoping to bring france to a halt with new nationwide strikes that are under way right now. you are looking at workers demonstrating currently. they are furious over the government's pension reform plans which would raise the retirement age for two years to 64 for most people. >> and this is the sixth round of demonstrations just this year. huge disruptions to public transportation are expected and the main education union says around 120 schools will be closed in paris. just ahead, we'll have the latest developments from saturday's train tderailment in springfield, ohio as investigators begin their work. and iran is offering new explanations for why thousands

and also of course in terms of the response that we've seen following that, hundreds of thousands of people now living in temporary accommodation. and look, president erdogan himself has vowed to rebuild the affected areas within one year, and we're already beginning to see the excavation work needed already in parts of the country, but that has also drawn criticism from the opposition and others say it is simply too hasty, there needs to be more investigations done, more preparations done to ensure this area is safe. and of course this is a country that is already going through a worsening economic crisis, inflation at 55%. people across the country struggling with their day to day expenses. so there is certainly a lot on president erdogan's plate and the fact that this could be the biggest challenge that he has faced over that more than two decades. and for the longest time the opposition has struggled to present a unified front. we are talking about six opposition parties now forming

this nation. and it is quite a remarkable alliance, it has to be said, we're talking about parties that are center right, far right, secular, all coming together under the slogan of united we will win. they believe that their principles and goals overarching remain the same and they will be able to lead the country into a different future together. so this will be a significant challenge for president erdogan, they have announced the leader who will carry them into that presidential election in may. and of course it remains to be seen whether this is enough to pull president erdogan out of power. >> nada, thank you. we'll be watching that closely. >> and it will be a name that everybody needs to know. he is different from erdogan, some refer to him as turkey's gandhi.
