>> not just because of a growing number of airplanes. the faa is now proposing new rules to combat the uptick in the number of drones taking flight. here's abc's david kerley. >> reporter: inexpensive drones can take exceptional pictures and are popping up everywhere. we have seen these unmanned aircraft where they are not supposed to be, flying over the white house fence and crashing and close to landing jetliners all across the country. one of the concerns is that even a small drone like this could be sucked in to a jet engine causing catastrophic failure. the rules are aimed at using small drones less than 55 pounds for business purposes. >> the wind is tricky. the news media, farmers, utility companies, real estate brokers all want to fly. businesses can fly under these proposed rules if they pass a written test for operators who

can only fly 500 feet during the day and must keep the aircraft in sight. that last rule is troublesome for some businesses, including amazon which wants to use drones to deliver goods. drones that would go off on their own, out of sight. the displeased online retailer says the government must move quickly to address the needs of our business and ultimately our customers. the government has heard such concerns and said the proposed drone rules which could take a year or two to approve are not the last word for this fast-flying technology. david kerley, abc news, daytona beach, florida. >> you know, i see that story and i think, who's going to be the traffic cop for these drones 10 to 20 years from now? >> that's a good question. a lot of questions raised. i'm happy to see that everyone is stepping in to figure the rules out now. you want something like this regulated. >> and i want my packages delivered same day by amazon. >> right to your doorstep. >> how about that. coming up -- you have heard of mansions

♪ that's what i'm talking about. beverly hills is often described as a ground zero for ostentatious displays of money. >> believe it or not, when it comes to bigger being better, even beverly hills has its limits. now a movement to build hotel-sized homes is facing a fierce backlash from an unlikely

further south we are dealing with rain. the wet weather interacting with the colder air, that is producing an icy mix. taking a closer look where we have the icy conditions, along the i-40 corridor all the way to charlotte. exercise caution. also if you are traveling i-20. power outages are likely through the area. two to four inches expected in nashville and much of kentucky picking up six to 12 inches by the time it is said and done. the system will track north and east and produce snow across the northeast region. ryan and mara, back to you. >> all right, stephanie. thank you so much for that. breaking news from the middle east where egypt has struck isis targets in libya. this comes after a group loyal to isis released video purportedly showing the beheading of egyptian christians. abc news is not showing that gruesome video. the killing suggest the islamic militant group established an affiliate less than 500 miles from italy. one of the militants in the

video makes direct reference to that possibility saying the group now plans to conquer rome. the u.s.-led campaign against isis is facing a major challenge, how to stop young fighters from joining the group. a complex issue as we hear from abc's martha raddatz. reporting from jordan. terrorists have flooded into syria and iraq from around the world, including just across the jordan iraq border or isis flourishes and driving along the border we saw jordanian tanks and forces deployed as fears grow that isis fighters could bring the battle to jordan. after that shocking execution of the jordanian pilot burned alive, much of the arab and muslim world rallied against isis, but that execution and the coalition air strikes have also galvanized legions of isis supporters. young men, like those we met outside of a mosque, are also inspired to fight.

>> what is that that motivates you to want to go to syria and fight? >> syrians are our brothers and when you see how they are being killed you just have the motivation to go and fight. >> many of those who answered the call of jihad from jordan have been encouraged by this man, a well-known radical cleric, previously imprisoned for leading anti-government protests. he said isis made a mistake by burning the pilot alive but defended sending extremist fighters to syria. >> this is for the sake of god went too far in syria. >> a fight, he said, that men and women are willing to face prison for or death. martha raddatz, abc news, amman, jordan. police in denmark have identified the suspect in two weekend shootings as a 22-year-old with a criminal record. they say he shot dead a film maker at a free speech event and a security guard at a synagogue before being killed by police.

authorities say he may have been inspired by islamic terrorists and possibly the massacre in paris last month. in ukraine, a shaky cease fire that went in to effect on sunday seems to be holding this morning, though some fighting has broken out. two civilians were killed overnight as a result of shelling in one eastern town. if the truce does hold, both sides are set to pull tanks and other weapons away from the frontlines later today. budget impasse could lead to the shutdown of the homeland security department at the end of the month. house speaker john boehner said he is prepared to allow the funding for the agency to lapse. a bill passed in the house would cover the department through september 30th, but it calls to overturn president obama's move to limit deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants. however it stands no chance of passing in the senate. the labor dispute at west coast ports is having a ripple affect across the u.s. auto industry. beginning today, honda is slowing production at plants in indiana, ohio and canada because parts are stuck on ships that haven't been unloaded.

the factories build some of honda's biggest sellers, and president obama sent the labor secretary to the west coast to help get labor talks moving again. also from the west coast, ten people, most of them high school basketball players are recovering this morning after a scary school bus crash. it happened in the seattle suburbs. the 53-year-old female bus driver said the brakes failed. the bus drifted to the shoulder and rolled on to the left side. those injured suffered cuts, concussions and a broken arm. in the meantime, it was a rough day for one of oscar mayer's wiener mobiles. it was left on the side of the road near harrisburg, pennsylvania, after smashing in to a pole. it's going to need big repairs, including a new windshield and bumper. no one was injured and the company has several other wiener mobiles they can call in to duty. >> okay. >> good to know they have a backup. >> there you go. this past weekend was valentine's day. we hope everyone got to do

something special for that someone special. >> that was certainly the case in portland, oregon, where they hosted what was dubbed the world's first known cuddle convention. it was an all-day affair. 100 people hanging out and celebrating human connection through touch. >> isn't that cute? those folks were in to it claiming the whole thing wasn't about being overly sexualized they said it was just about communication. >> i have to wonder, though, if some people weren't going there hoping for a little more than some cuddling. >> not really a cuddler -- well, a little -- now i'm getting in to an area i don't think i want to get in to. >> i think human touch is good for everyone but i wonder if some go to the event thinking cuddling isn't the only thing on the menu. >> yeah? >> maybe. some people think that way. not me. >> i don't think so. >> i think it is on the up and up. coming up in "the skinny," all the fun you didn't see during last night's "saturday night live" 40th anniversary show. you have to love that one. and kevin durant proves he's an mvp on the court and in the classroom.
