Welcome to world news. New Year, new storm. Temperatures plummeting below
zero and more than a foot of snow in some places. Our extreme weather
team in all of it all. Barbara Bush taken to the hospital with doctors
now say. And the new diet you have never heard of. Can you trick yourself
into eating less just beating the other hand? -- by eating weeds with.
Diane is back tomorrow night and not
a moment too soon. The monster storm is moving across large part of a
country tonight. Blizzard warnings, look at this. This is the scene from
Chicago is our port. Low visibility of council nearly 300 flights. It
has caused widespread delays. Driving is not any easier, the
streets are taken snow. With all this snow comes the frigid
temperatures. Temperature is below zero in parts of Wisconsin. Just as
the storm hit, firefighters tackled a fire in Minneapolis. Several
people are in critical condition. We have coverage of it all, beginning
with Chicago. We've just arrived and we saw that
airport and that runway. Take a look at how much snow has already fallen
here. So much of the nation is seeing whether just like this. 2014
bringing in a bone chilling blast of weather, they can look as fireworks
put out a massive blaze. The water used by firefighters quickly turned
to ice because of the extreme cold. Under the contingencies we had
today, we've done very well. People trapped in the building were forced
to jump out of windows from the fire. At least six of people are
critical, many people waiting for help on the icy sidewalks covered in
blankets. Danger in Indiana as snow covering roads made conditions
slippery, wet and difficult for drivers. In the north-east, blizzard
conditions are expected at the New England coast. Stores in Vermont are
quickly running out of salt to battle as. The next shipment arrives
next week. One day after ringing in the New Year, cruise in New York at
cleaning up a ton of confetti in below freezing temperatures. The
city is now expected to be hit by up to eight inches of snow. Here in
Chicago we have already seen a personnel and much more expected
tomorrow. Thanks. That stormers quickly moving
east and we are talking about possible blizzard conditions. Here
is our meteorologist. What are we looking at?
It will grab moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and move of the Atlantic,
where it will create a very large system, driving snow all the way
back through the great Lakes. It is really cold. Frigid outbreak a, look
at these high temperatures over the next few days.
You are telling me that we are talking about a lot of snow.
Yes, always in Nebraska to the north-east. Some places could pick
up as much as a foot or a foot and a half of snow. Adding to that, very
strong winds. Blizzard conditions, dangerous conditions.
In Texas tonight doctors are keeping a close watch over Barbara Bush, the
former first lady. She is said to be doing quite well under the
circumstances. The latest from the Bush family
spokesperson is that the former first Lady is in good spirits and
taking business from relatives at this used in hospital. The same
hospital were her husband, President George HW Bush, was struggling with
a serious case of bronchitis last year. They see the 88 -year-old came
in with early signs of pneumonia. She has a big, big heart. Friends
report that the doctors have given her an excellent prognosis. She is a
tough old gal who will out the bus all. -- at -- outlive us. To say she
is beloved is an understatement. And now to see that same fellow that are
used to drive around in car pools and he yellow to please pick up, to
see him as president is amazing. No word yet on when she might be
heading home. We are told she watched the football
from her room in hospital. Back in New York tonight the big clean-up
from the new year's party in Times Square with someone new in charge, a
new year, a new mayor. Bill de Blasio sworn in my former President
Bill Clinton outside a very chilly City Hall.
With the new year comes new laws as well and one led to major lines
today for the first time you can buy marijuana legally in parts of
Colorado, purely for recreational use. Tonight there's already talk of
shortages and a different kind of after-effect - new jobs. Have your
IDs ready. They lined up before dawn. We drove 17 hours to get. Some
sleeping in their cars. Well it is a historical event. For a chance to be
early through the door at one of the world's very first recreational
marijuana shops. Even in Amsterdam it is toll -- tolerated but
technically illegal. Scoring weed now as easy as buying coffee. Your
total is $59. Anyone over 21 can buy it helping fuel a Colorado green
rush. In the first year alone sales are predicted to hit nearly $400
million. This room is filled with about 25 different strains of
cannabis. Shop owner Tony foks is expanding and hiring. Today she has
nine employees. By the end of January we should have about 30.
Matt brown started a company for pot tourists. He has 4,000 people on a
waiting list. This is legal, this is real and douk this and have a good
vacation and go home and not get in trouble. But not everyone is on
board. Marijuana is still a federal crime. There are worries about
increasing teen pot use and driving while high. Even ski resorts here
worried about a family-friendly image are warning stoners to stay
off the slopes. Here in public it is illegal Are your receipts. Others
states are now watching to see how this experiment works out as
marijuana moves from underground to mainstream. Thank you. A break in a
national case tonight - a banker wanted by the FBI for $20 million of
wire fraud. He vanished after staging his own suicide in 2012.
Tonight he has been found. Look at the before and after photos, showing
the 47-year-old, stopped by police in Georgia on a minor traffic
violation. He is now facing questions in connection with that 20
million dollar fraud scheme. Weeks now before American and the
looets the terrorist attacks. Vladimir Putin has travelled to the
site of those blasts and sent a message to Russia and the world.
President Vladimir Putin arrived in Volgograd before dawn to pay his
respects to the dead and wounded of this week's two suicide bombings
that killed 34. TRANSLATION: There can be no
justification for crimes against civilians. The attacks have shaken
Russia and the world ahead of next month's Sochi Winter Olympics. He is
trying to quell those fears, vowing to annihilate the terrorists who
threatened the games and tried to disrupt them. They may be soft
targets but closer to the actual Olympic site. It will be virtually
impossible to cover all of it. The US is working closely with the
Russians and will play a key role during the games collecting and
sharing intelligence. US diplomatic security will be on the ground
co-ordinating with the authorities, but at the end of the day it is the
Russian's show. And back here at home this evening, after so much
reporting on that security breach for shoppers at target, tonight a
new concern over your information. It involves 4 million users of what
is called snap chat. Quick messages and images sent on your smartphone
and then disappear. If haven't heard of it chances are your kids have and
now comes a warning about user names and phone numbers on those accounts.
Some of them are now posted on the internet. That embarrassing picture
you take on the social app snapchat ten seconds after viewing it, but
the information on your account stays president. And an anonymous
hacker or group has exploited that, uploading to the internet the user
names and offering up the phone numbers of an estimated 4. 6 million
snapchat users. The biggest danger is stalking, I think, and you can
see how something like this could lead to some bad results. Making the
security breach even worse, many users tend to have the same user
name for multiple apps like Facebook and Twitter. Snapchat is a sharing
app, so popular with kids that Facebook want today buy it for $3
billion an offer the two young owners turned down. It is unclear
whether the security breach will affect the company's value. Snapchat
says it has recently counter-measures will continue to
make improvements to combat spam and abuse. It is a wake-up call we keep
getting tour 20 years now and we keep hitting the snooze button. This
security firm said it discovered the problem back in August, but when it
told snapchat the company responded it was a "Non-issue". Seeing double
tonight, the wonder twins that have become a viral sensation this
evening - you've got to hear the story behind these little ones.

Our first instant indecks from the new year and we remember a face you
will recognise from the fresh principles of Belair. James Avery
passed sfla loss anxiety from complications due to heart surgery.
He was 68-year-olds. With the big storm hitting Chicago in the
bullseye some are not complaining there. Jewellery store owner there
promising to refund all jewellery purchases, making the promise if you
bought it over the holiday and it snowed more than 3 inches on New
Year's Day he would pay it back. Well, up to 35 inches have fallen
and he says his business will pay up. And after a night of heavy
partying, perhaps you are seeing double today but for two moms it had
nothing to do with that, but check this out. A mom gave birth to twins
one just before midnight and one right after. The baby in the pink
hat was born just before midnight and her brother, in the blue hat, a
2014 baby. These little baby girls in Toronto, the one on the left born
at 11. 52 and her sister arriving 28 seconds into 2014. And we are
wondering what one might say to the other, tweet us your captions.
Finally we've heard the saying a new year, a new you and easier said than
done what it comes to our weight. But can a novel idea of switching
the hands you eat with trick your mind into eating less? American
movie-goers love their popcorn but those mindless handfuls can really
add up. So how can you snack less without going snackless? To show you
secret we invite add group of people to a movie theatre. Everyone in the
theatre was right-handed so we asked half the group to grab their popcorn
with their left hand. Our goal? To observe a concept key to changing
mindless eating habits. Eating in a non-standard way, like eating with
your non-dominant hand, makes you think about what you are. Sure
enough, when the lights went up we saw a real difference. If I had it
in this hand it would have been easier to just snack. Let's see how
you did. We weighed the bags and found those eating with the
non-dominant hand eat a sixth less, which means over the quarter of the
year they could lose 6lbs if they snacked like this. But it's not just
about what food you eat. Take the Google office insist New York.
Switching treats from a clear, easy to pull gravity bin, to containers,
meant that over a seven-week period alone, Googlers consumed 3 million
fewer calories - and that he is just from M Everyone sees these, they
know they are, but they have to put in more effort. Some simple ways to
trick yourself into a smaller size. That is World News tonight. And it
wouldn't be a new year without Diane and she right back here tomorrow
night. Goodnight. Hello, there won't be much let-up in
all this wet and windy weather although having said that today will
probably be the best day of the next few, certainly in terms of dryer and
brighter weather
