AMNA NAWAZ: Also today, a major winter# storm is piling up snow in the mountains## of Northern California and hitting much of# the rest of the state with heavy rain and## strong winds.

In the Sierra Nevada, nearly# a foot of snow had fallen by this morning,## and forecasters say there# is plenty more on the way.

Much of California is under winter# storm warnings through Wednesday,## and in those upper elevations, forecasters# expect up to eight feet of snow.

In the meantime, residents in the center of the# country are facing a very different problem,## with fire warnings due to higher-than-expected# temperatures, gusty winds, and dry conditions.

In Georgia, a trial is under way for a# man whose teenage son allegedly killed## four people in a school shooting in 2024.# It's the latest instance of officials## trying to hold parents accountable# for the actions of their children.## During opening statements today, prosecutors# said Colin Gray knew his son, then 14 years old,## had an obsession with school shooters and# suffered from deteriorating mental health.

BRAD SMITH, Barrow County, Georgia, District# Attorney: This case is about this defendant## and his actions, his actions in allowing a# child that he has custody over access to a## firearm and ammunition after being warned# that that child was going to harm others.

AMNA NAWAZ: Despite the warning signs,# prosecutors say the elder Gray still## gifted his son a gun for Christmas.# He's pleaded not guilty to 29 counts,## including second-degree murder and# cruelty to children.

Two students and## two teachers were killed in the shooting at# Apalachee High School in September of 2024.

Ukrainian and Russian officials# are gathering in Geneva this week## for the latest U.S.-brokered# talks aimed at ending the war.## The Kremlin said today that the negotiations# will involve what it called the main issues,## such as the delicate question of how much# territory it wants Ukraine to give up.

Meanwhile, in Kyiv today... SEN.

RICHARD BLUMENTHAL (D-CT): Mr.# President, good to see you.

Thank you.

AMNA NAWAZ: ... Ukrainian President# Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed two## Democratic U.S.

senators and thanked them# for Washington's support in the talks.## This comes as the attacks# from both sides continue.

This weekend, Russian strikes in Ukraine's# Odesa region killed at least one person,## with both Ukraine and Russia reporting# further military attacks today.

Meanwhile, supporters of Russian opposition# leader Alexei Navalny have been marking two## years since his death in an Arctic penal colony.# In Moscow, mourners laid flowers at his grave,## as representatives from several European# embassies paid their respects.

The tributes## come just days after five European# nations released a joint statement## saying that Navalny was poisoned with a# rare toxin linked to poisoned dart frogs.

Navalny's mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya,## says it proves he was murdered# and called for accountability.

LYUDMILA NAVALNAYA, Mother of# Alexei Navalny (through translator):## Two years have passed and we already know# what he was poisoned with.

Of course,## we want justice to prevail and# for us to know all of their names.

AMNA NAWAZ: The Kremlin denied# the latest poisoning allegations,## calling them -- quote -- "biased and unfounded."

And the world of cinema has lost two giants.

We## start with documentary filmmaker# and producer Frederick Wiseman.

In his directorial debut,# "Titicut Follies," in 1967,## Wiseman took an unsparing look at conditions# inside a mental hospital in Massachusetts.## The title comes from the variety show put on# by inmates.

The film was banned for years,## but eventually aired on PBS in the# early 1990s once that ban was lifted.

Wiseman went on to create dozens of films over# a nearly six-decade career that explored and## sometimes exposed America's social and cultural# institutions.

He worked well into his 90s,## and in 2016 he received an honorary Academy Award.# His family announced his passing through Zipporah## Films, the distribution company he founded# in 1971.

Frederick Wiseman was 96 years old.
