Five dead as huge winter storm grips US | BBC News
At least five people have died in a winter storm that has seized much of the US, leading to mass school closures, travel chaos and power cuts.
Seven US states declared emergencies: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Arkansas.
More than 2,300 flights have been cancelled, with nearly 9,000 delays also reported owing to the extreme weather caused by the polar vortex of icy cold air that usually circles the North Pole.
Around 190,000 people had no power early on Tuesday across states in the storm’s path, according to Poweroutage.us.

we look at Israel’s reaction to UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar announced retaliatory counter-measures, including the closure of the British Consulate in Jerusalem. Meanwhile in the UK, foreign secretary Ed Miliband has disagreed with Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis who described the move as a “truly dark day” that put British Jews in greater danger.
We also look at the implications in the lead up to the October Israeli elections, and for the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Adam Fleming discusses the continued fallout between Britain and Israel with chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet and Panorama filmmaker Jane Corbin.
