The results of the physical exam will be made public by the white house physician at walter reed medical center. U. S. President s have annual exams to show that they are physically fit for duty. Well, the weekend before his physical, mr. Trump will be at camp david meeting with republican congressional leaders to set their legislative agenda for the year. Chip reid is traveling with the president in florida. Infrastructure is by far the easiest. People want it. Reporter fixing the nations deteriorating infrastructure appears to be at the top of the president s agenda for next year. Republicans and democrats, were going have tremendous democrat support on infrastructure. Reporter in fact. Its not that simple. Democrats want massive 1 trillion spending program. But republicans want to spend on the other hand 1 5 of that, 200 billion, money used to create Public Private partnerships to fund the rest of the spending. Democrats say it will never work. Reaching a compromise in an Election Year when the two sides are that far apart will not be easy. Yes, we can reporter also high on both parties agendas is finding a way to allow 800,000 socalled dreamers, people who were brought to the u. S. As children, to remain here permanently. A law that protects them from deportation expires in march. Democrats say its a moral imperative. They are americans in every single important way but one, their paperwork. Reporter the president has made his personal feelings clear. I have a love for these people and hopefully now congress will be able to help them and do it properly. Reporter though he has tied his support to funding for a border wall. Another key issue, funding the federal government. Republicans and democrats need to reach a deal by january 19th or risk a partial government shutdown. And a long festering issue, obamacare. The tax bill the president signed last weekends the individual mandate. It ultimately leads to the end of obamacare. Reporter but thats far from clear. And in a tweet this week, the president predicted that democrats and republicans will eventually come together and develop a great new health care plan. The president and congress will have to move quickly if they really do hope to compromise on these issues because it wont be long before they move in to full battle mode in preparation for the midterm elections. Bianna . Chip reid, thank you. Isis struck afghanistans capital today. A suicide bomber from the sunni Extremist Group targeted a shiite cultural center. At least 41 people were killed. The attack underscores isis growing power in afghanistan. Joining us now is michael morell, the former number two at the cia and cbs Senior National security contributor. Mike, great to have you on with us this evening. Given todays attack, buzz isis in afghanistan pose a threat to the u. S. Similar to isis in iraq and syria . Bianna, afghanistan is one of the places where the isis cancer has spread. Its not yet a threat to the u. S. Homeland, but if it is allowed to continue to grow in strength, if it allowed to acquire a safe haven, it could very well become a threat to the u. S. Homeland. Is the u. S. Doing enough to prevent that from happening . So the military pressure on isis in afghanistan is significant. Isis is one of the reasons why President Trump decided to leave a u. S. Troop presence there. And those operations against isis are intensive. Let me switch gears and ask you about secretary rex tillerson, who has written an oped really promoting u. S. Foreign policy. He took a rather tough stand regarding russia. In fact, he wrote that absent a peaceful resolution of the ukraine situation, there cannot be business as usual with russia. Mike, those are strong words. But does this carry any weight with Vladimir Putin . So they are tough words, but from putins perspective, he really only listens to the president. He mirror images. And in his system, he is the only person that matters. So when he looks at us, he thinks the president is the only person that matters. The most important thing to putin are u. S. Actions. And we have not taken tough action with regard to the meddling in the election. But just last week, we took very tough action by allowing the ukrainians to acquire from the United States antitank weapons that is a very tough step with regard to russia. And putin will see that. Mike morel, our thanks to you. And happy new year. Same to you, bianna, thank you.

From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im bianna golodryga. Thanks for watching. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. New years weekend starts today, and its doing so in frigid fashion. Old man winter has brought bonechilling cold from montana all the way into the south. And for most, it wont be warming up any time soon. In new york city, the arctic weather isnt the only thing putting a chill on preparations for new years eve. Police are planning the biggest security cordon in city history around times square. Tony dokoupil is there. Reporter three days before the ball drops in times square, security is building up.

The old barriers are back too, along with sand trucks to guard against a vehicle attack. But the nypd is putting a new focus on aerial security with spotters on buildings. And for the first time officers in hotels up and down the avenue to react in the event of a sniperstyle attack. Three months after las vegas suffered the deadliest mass shooting in modern u. S. History, the citys new Years Eve Party has been designated a sear 1 Security Threat by the department of homeland security. A designation typically reserved for political conventions and the super bowl. Law enforcement is taking no chances, adding snipers and twice as many armed Rapid Response teams on top of 800 steel security pylons. Clark county sheriff joe lombardo. Im confident every available resource is being used to make sure this new years eve will be safe. Reporter other big cities are beefing up too.

In san francisco, days after spoiling an alleged plan to attack the citys popular tourist site pier 39, police are beefing up security along the famed embarcadero. So just how cold will it be for this new years eve weekend . Meteorologist Danielle Niles is with our cbs boston station wbz. Its just brutal. Were going to be talking about this cold for days, if not weeks, as another reinforcing shot of cold air straight out of the arctic, a little piece to the polar vortex dives down for a record start. Temperatures 20 to 40 degrees below normal. And that may be a little bit on the conservative side. Youre making your plans for new years eve. Ball drop forecast. Midnight, windchill values, 15 to 30 below zero from boston back into northern new england. Stretching west towards the midwest. 3 below the ball drop in new york. Thats what its going the feel like as we head into new years eve night. The first day of 2018, brutal. Single digits and teens in terms of actual temperatures. Most of the nation, 70 of it going to be below the freezing mark with a lot of cold air in place.

Thousands of people in states with high property taxes are scrambling to pay their 2018 tax bills before the start of the year. The new trump tax code limits the property Tax Deduction for many. But the irs says it may audit people who try to get around the law. And thats not the only confusion on the tax horizon. Jan crawford has some details on Charitable Giving. How you doing . Reporter in the nations capital, this Charity Serves hundreds of meals daily to the needy, operating largely through charitable donations. But under the new tax reform law, nonprofits like so others might eat will soon be taking a big hit. We are absolutely concerned that tax reform and also just confusion about what the new laws are going to be will Impact Charitable giving. Reporter its a concern shared by nonprofits across the country, because the new tax law lowers incentives for people to donate. Before, people could reduce their tax burden by writing off charitable donations and itemizing them on their tax returns. Under the new law, many middle class taxpayers no longer will need to itemize, but instead offers a bigger standard deduction, doubled to 12,000 for individuals and 24,000 for couples. But here is the rub. If you dont itemize, you cant deduct your charitable donations. People will continue to give to charity. They just wont give as much. If you get a thousand dollars more in your paycheck and there is no financial incentive to give it to charity, you may still give to charity, but youre probably going get the washing machine. Reporter united way ceo Brian Gallagher says his organization, which collects 3. 5 billion a year in donations and funds charities like so others might eat expects to take in 300 million less. Estimates that overall Charitable Giving will go down 13 billion a year, which would mean up to 10 Million People will lose needed services. The impact is lhu come january 1, california will become the eighth state in thtieation sale of marijuana to adults. T st because its leg doesnt mean it will be easy for the stores. Murder shop called urban trees. Y ll medical marijuana. But they would like to get a license to sell recreational. To do that, though, things are going to have to change. For example, this brownie here has 500 milligrams of thc. The new limit is only 100 milligrams. And then it has to be divided into 10 milligram doses. Come january 1, anyone 21 years of age or older will be able to buy Recreational Marijuana legally in california. That is if they can find a place allowed to sell it. Banning pot shops altogether, while others are still working through the pmi this is the head of the permits in los angeles regulation department. This is a process, not an event. Reporter l. A. Wont even u. And it could take weeks before stores are properly licensed to sell Recreational Marijuana. We do not want to necessarily disrupt this market, but we do need to regulate this market. Reporter medical shops like tory holistics in san diego face challenges in becoming recreational sellers. So youve had to create new packaging . We did.

Lara logan took to the sky fort reporter take one 1,400 pound black rhino who has been darted andat about 6 or 7 years old. Reporter two veterinarians. Reporter three game capture specialists. Reporter four leg straps, a its pilot. 130foot chain. Keep an eye on that chain. Im always worried about reporter and you get this. Yeah. Look at that amazing, isnt it . Wow. Reporter this feat of engineering, aerodynamics and conservation has been choreographed by jacques flamand, a veterinarian who is moving these rhino to save them. Why did yoar rhinos, transporting them by helicopter instead of by road or other means . Some of these rhino are in very inaccessible parts of the reserve. Lifting them provided us with an opportunity. I immediately thought this is getting them out of rugged mountainous, or thick forested o in. Reporter with more than 100 sqre ravines, the tala game reserve when we joined flamand and his team, they were searching the rhino they had selected for relocation, part of his plan to protect them fm why did you choose the black rhino to focus on . Well, i didnt choose it. It chose itself becae orr so h rhino were there in the country when you began . Rhinin south afr started the project. Reporter that was 15 years ago. The black rhino was a critically endangered species. To get the numbers up, flamand started the black rhino range o of the World Wildlife fund. The idea was to take a small number of rhino from government parks and settle them in new where they would breed and create new populations. People. We got the word out that we were looking for land for black rhino. Worked amazingly. So those 20 black rhino, howeveo a new and we wanted to put 20 because thats a genetically viable number. Reporter flamands team captured the rhino by them, then by driving trucks in to pick them up. But when they ran out of road, they turned to the skies. I mean, its spectacular and unbelievable and also slightly. Its sort of everything. You really have to put your mind adrift that the animal psychologically is not being harmed in any way. As been the chief veterinarian for Kwazulu Natal parks for 22 years. E air for less than ten minutes and fully sedated the entire time. It looks as if the anim but weve done our homework. We didnt justo ift was going t. We hung rhino upside down with cranes and sat and monitored th. Reporter didnt you volunt upside down from the helicopter . I did. But the pilots wouldnt let me. They told me anything that ca walk on its feet can be hung by its feet. Reporter pilot tosh ross and dave cooper have been working together from the be ross told us the huey helicopter he is flying for this two tons, more than enough to lift a black rhino. Youve done how many now . This will be 198. Youve lost none . We do three today and it will be 200, yeah. Reporter whats the most difficult part . Putting it down. Reporter so you dont hurt the animal . Yeah. Yeah, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Reporter we saw just how difficult it can be as tosh ross struggled to land the first rhino. He got it down safe and unhurt on the second try. Vet dave cooper was already up in another smaller helicopter, looking for the next rhino. Here we go. Reporter he prepped darts for his tranquilizer gun with a dose Strong Enough to knock the animal out for 30 minutes. The first dart didnt fully pierce the inchthick skin. Three minutes later, his second shot stuck. They tracked the rhino until it dropped. We were right behind him in the huey with jock flamand and the game capture team. I see the rhino down. How many minutes do you have now to get that rhino . Weve got a bit of time. Reporter as soon as we landed, it was a race to get to the sedated animal. Dave coopers priority removing the tranquilizer dart and treating the wound with an antibiotic. I darted him once here. Reporter yeah . The dart went in and out. So i immediately had to put another one in. Reporter so thats the first thing you do is cover the eyes . Thats right. Because that stops them. Reporter so is this a male or female . This is a male. Reporter he is young and has many years of breeding ahead of him. Exactly what they need. They idd him from notches in his ears. Most rhino in the Kwazulu Natal parks are marked this way. Is that him breathing . Thats him breathing. Its lovely, big, deep breaths. Im happy with that. Reporter the game capture team cleared a path to above. The helicopter is now going to come. Reporter wow. And theyre going to hitch up the four straps. Reporter tosh ross maneuvered in the chain and swept the rhino away. It took them less than 16 minutes. For dave cooper, its a small victory every time. I have tears in my eyes. Reporter because . They mean a lot to me. Reporter as a vet, youre the one that gets called out when the poachers have been there. Yeah. Reporter and theyve hacked off the horn and the animal is bleeding. Yeah. Reporter is that very difficult for you . Yes. So much negativity around rhino at the moment with all the poaching that to be involved in Something Like this is what lifts you and keeps you positive about things. Reporter this is what cooper and flamond are seeing more and more. When the program started in 2003, three or four black rhino were being killed a year. Now were into the hundreds for this province alone this year. Reporter so why is that . Well, because there is that stupid demand for rhino horn, which has absolutely no medicinal value, sadly. Reporter rhino horn is made of keratin, the same substance as human finger nails. Yet in countries like china and vietnam, people believe it can cure hangovers and increase virility. Private game parks are drowning in security costs. Most remove the horns to deter poachers. But its worth so much, more per ounce than gold or cocaine that every place there is rhino is a target.

Dana jacobsen has the story of the north Face Climbing Team and their quest to climb the highest peaks at the bottom of the world. Were going to antarctica, oh, yeah. Reporter when this massive cargo plane lifted off from cape town, south africa, it was carrying 1700 pounds of extreme cold weather gear and six of the best rock climbers and mountaineers in the world. We made it on to the continent reporter their destination, almost six hours flight due south. A rugged and remote region of antarctica called queen maud land. There is kind of an elliptical ring of mountains. And there is six peaks with walls between 2,000 and 3,000 feet tall. Reporter for a climbing legend like team leader conrad anker, those walls, which very few people have ever seen, much less scaled, are irresistible. The fact that its always below freezing makes it a challenge for wall climbers. The remoteness, the cliff face and the temperature, any one of them can get us. But all three together, you always have to manage that risk on a daytoday basis. Reporter yosemite search and rescue vet cedar wright came up with the idea for the allstar antarctica adventure. If you go out deep into the center of that wild unexplored continent, you find one of the most impressive ranges of granite in the world. I look at it like as a frozen yosemite. Each of these formations is at least, if not bigger than el capitan. It kind of takes all the skills we have learned in places like yosemite and brings them to this really wild and severe environment. Reporter yosemite and its sheer granite monster el capitan is the most famous Training Ground for expeditions like queen maud land. And no one has conquered el capitan like alex honnold. This past june, he achieved the holy grail of rock climbing, a ropeless solo free climb up its 3,000 foot face. His biggest challenge in antarctica, temperatures hovering around freezing and below. My lips arent too chapped. Life is good here in antarctica. When you first touch cold rock, your fingers will get numb. But after the initial numbing, blood rushes back to your fingers. It really hurts when blood rushes back into your fingertips. It makes you want to scream and makes you feel sick. See how cold it is. Cold reporter jimmy chins long career has acclimated him to the cold but that happens when you accomplish feats like he did in 2006 when he skied off the summit of mt. Everest. Nice one, jimmy yeah reporter the stakes for anna pfaff and her climbing partner Savannah Cummings are even higher. Theyre the only women on this expedition, which is the sort of journey that typically is all male. They hope the trip helps them move the sport forward. Sick i would like the get more women in the sport of doing this kind of stuff. There is still the stigma that the mountains are made for men. Ive had people say these things to me before. And what its done to me is its made me want the try harder. Anna and savannah are every bit as capable as the dudes on our team. Everyone should go to antarctica and climb a big wall.
