Test. If r the announcement coming on north Korean Television this morning. It appears to be far larger than the norths previous two nuclear tests. The u. N. Security council has now called an emergency meeting. And the white house has issued a strongly worded statement. Lets get, right now, to Abcs Martha Raddatz in washington with the latest. Good morning to you, martha. Reporter good morning, josh. This test was big. As much as three times the size of previous tests. It was bold. Even china, north koreas staunchest ally, had north korea not to test a nuclear weapon. And it is the clearest sign yet of the new leaders belligerence. This is the First Nuclear test under kim jongun, who said the test is aimed at ferocious u. S. Hostility towards north korea. In december, un also successfully tested a longrange missile, capable of reaching hawaii. The white house is calling this a highly provocative act. And calling on actions from the International Community. Theres very little the u. S. Or the u. N. Can do at this point since strong sanctions are already in place. In fact, this morning, north korea is saying, we will consider search of our ships and other sanctions by the International Community as an act of war. And, josh, they say it will bring on relentless retaliatory attacks. We will certainly keep our eye on this. Martha, thank you for that. Meanwhile, theres word this morning of a new poll out, planned for the u. S. Forces in afghanistan. The pentagon is reportedly pushing a timetable that would keep some 8,000 troops in the country after the mission officially ends next year. White house advisers have pushed for a more aggressive withdrawal. The president is expected to announce a final decision soon. An outpouring of support in texas, for the man known as the deadliest sniper in military history. Nearly 7,000 people turned out in cowboys stadium to honor and remember chris kyle. He was killed at a shooting range near dallas, by a fellow iraq war veteran who told authorities he was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. And this morning, police near minneapolis are trying to figure out why a man was randomly firing shots at cars driving through an intersection. One of the bullets struck and killed a 10yearold boy who was riding in his mothers minivan. Police arrested the shooter a short time later. A new move by twitter to become a shopping destination. Now reached a deal with american express, that will allow cardholders to buy products from the site for the first time using a special hash tag. Twitter has been exploring new ways to make money so it doesnt have to rely solely on advertising. In arizona, a video released showing a nearcatastrophe in the desert. The reality show here filming a stunt where a corvette was racing a helicopter. Seconds after the race had finished, look what happens. The chopper pilot loses control. And that helicopter dives nosefirst into the ground, just feet from the crew filming it all. Remarkably, the pilot suffered only minor injuries and walked away from it. The crash blamed on a mechanical failure. They were filming for a south korean show. We will not show it on television. We just did. Right . Thanks to you. News breaker that you are. All right, josh. Were going to turn to rome and the latest on the popes startling resignation. The first time in 600 years a pope has done this. But take a look at this photo. Its going viral, madly monday. Of a bolt of lightning striking st. Peters, the same day the pope announced he will step down. Benedict is set for a new name, a new home and a new role. After his unprecedented move. Dan harris is live in st. Peters square this morning with all of that. Dan, good morning to you. Reporter elizabeth, good morning to you. Heres how the local papers are playing this huge story. This one says, in italian, pope shock. And heres a headline we can all understand in any language, amen. As catholics all over the world absorb this truly stunning news, today, were starting to get a sense of what may have provoked the pope to make this announcement now. This morning, an Italian News Agency says the pope had a topsecret operation to replace his pacemark ker at this hospit in rome three months ago. The vatican wont confirm the news. But the paper says the operation went, quote, well. The popes older brother held a News Conference the day the decision was well thought out and nobody pushed his brother out. Meanwhile, benedicts surprise decision has provoked vatican intrigue, worthy of a dan brown novel. Jockeying and politicking has begun over who will be the 266th pope of this 2,000yearold church, the largest religious body on earth. If i was a cardinal and i really wanted to be pope, could i actually campaign for myself . Well, i guess it would appear indiscreet. Reporter it would not go over well . No, i dont think it would go over well. Reporter while there are no clear favorites, bookmakers are laying odds. And here are three names youll be hearing a lot. Cardinal Peter Turkson of ghana is listed as a 94 favorite. He would be the first black pope. Reporter canadian Cardinal Marc ouellet, a 52 favorite. And archbishop angelo scola of milan, who has a strong power base. Roughly 120 cardinals will gather under heavy security and beneath a cloak of secrecy for the conclave to choose a new pope inside the sistine chapel. Every time they vote, they burn the ballots. Black smoke means no pope yet. White smoke, a winner. Its not like voting for a president , where youre voting for the guy who will lower your taxes. Precisely. I want to vote as for the man god wants. Thats a very scary thing. Reporter scary, indeed. One more picture i want to show you this morning. This is the building where Pope Benedict will live once he officially steps down on february 28th, at exactly 8 00 p. M. This is a former monastery inside vatican city. For months, construction crews have been rehabbing this building. During that entire time, only a few top vatican officials actually knew this would ultimately become the popes retirement home. George, back to you. Almost everyone in the dark. Okay, lets get more on this now from vatican media adviser greg burke, who is in rome this morning. Thanks for joining us, greg. Lets begin with more on the popes health. We learned about the operation on his pacemaker a few months back. The resignation has been in the works for some time. What else can you tell us about the popes health right now . The popes health right now is what you see. And well see him again tomorrow. An 85yearold who is almost 86, who is starting to slow. Essentially, he does have that heart condition. And that wasnt the reason, obviously, for the resignation, however. People have pacemaker batteries replaced all the time. That does happen. But essentially, its of age. His mind is obviously clear. We saw him talk a couple nights ago off the cuff. He was very, very clear. But its more in mobility and slowing down a bit. But nothing immediate. Theres been rumors of bone cancer, as well. Thats certainly not true. Nothing immediate. Just age catching up with him. The pope will be living in the vatican. Hell no longer be pope. Hes going to go back to being a cardinal. Take his old name, joseph ratzinger. Will he be able to counsel the next pope . Well, if the next pope would like it, im sure he could. However, if some people have suggested, wait a minute. Youre going to have two popes at work. Thats not true. The pope is retiring because he wants to retire. If he wanted to have influence on the church still, he would stay as pope. I would expect very much the fact hes going to a monastery will be living in a monastery is significant. He wants a quiet life of study and of prayer. I assume that if the new pope wants to ask his counsel, hes clearly going to give it. But hes not going to go hes not going to be there looking to try to influence the next pope. And the new the cardinals will be meeting right after the pope resigns on february 28th at 8 00 p. M. Will the deliberations about the next pope begin immediately . They could begin. Well find out that in the next few days. They could technically begin as early as the day after, as early as march 1st. But you have to remember, its never the conclave, which begins initially. First, they have general congregations, where all of the cardinals gather to talk about the main issues in the church, even those over the age of 80. Even those that wont be going into the eventual conclave. First, theres several days of general meetings, of all the cardinals. They could start as early as march 1st. But that hasnt been decided yet. Oddsmakers already hard at work. Do we know if Pope Benedict has a favorite . It would be hard to tell that Pope Benedict has a favorite. You can look at the men he chose. And obviously, i think each one of those, the college of cardinals is made up of cardinals by Pope Benedict and Pope John Paul ii. You can see who Pope Benedict chose for whatever reasons. I dont think he has a favorite. And hes certainly not going to show that he has a favorite in these days. Okay. Greg burke, thanks very much for your insight. Elizabeth . Unchartered territory. Turning, now, to the latest on that frantic manhunt for the rogue exPolice Officer, christopher dorner, on the run right now. We showed you the Surveillance Video that surfaced overnight. Could it be a clue to where he is at this moment . Abcs Pierre Thomas is tracking the latest on this story. In los angeles. Pierre, good morning. Reporter good morning, elizabeth. Its becoming clear dorner could be anywhere. And this morning, theres evidence the hunt for him has gone international. Overnight, Police Conducted a raid at this hotel in tijuana, mexico. They apparently found no evidence he was there. But for days, Customs Officials have been hunting for dorner along the southern border. And theres new details this morning about dorners possible movements in the days before the shootings. Tmz obtained this Surveillance Video of a man who looks like dorner buying scuba gear, reportedly days before the killing began. And there are new reports that dorner checked in this navy gateway and suites hotel in point loma, california, the same day, using his navy i. D. Trying to purposely avoid the cameras. Reporter the news surfaces as dorner faces capital charges, that involve the murder of riverside officer, michael crane, gunned down last thursday. He was married with two children, ages 10 and 4. This individual, by both his words and conduct, has made it very clear to all of us, that every Law Enforcement officer in Southern California is in danger. Reporter with the possibility of dorners trail growing cold, the Los Angeles Police chief issued a warning to the public. Dont think its just about protecting cops. This man is a threat to every person in los angeles. Reporter a city in fear is fighting back. The 1 million reward, now being offered, has led to a surge in tips. In total, more than 700 calls about clues have come in so far. Sources tell abc news, police are trying to reconstruct the last six months of dorners life. Theyre looking at all his associates, including someone identified as j. Y. , in Court Records obtained by abc news. Investigators believe he has ties to property where dorners burning truck was discovered. Pierre, thanks. Now, to washington, where tonight, president obama will deliver the first state of the Union Address of his second term. The white house promises a focus on the economy. The audience will be packed with victims of gun violence and advocates of gun rights. Jon karl will be there, too. And jon, this has set up an interesting dynamic. Most of the words will be about jobs. But most of the emotion will be around guns. Reporter thats a good way to look at this, george. There will be victims of gun violence throughout the visitors gallery, including in the first ladys box. Youll have somebody tied to the newtown massacre. And also members of congress, who each get only one ticket to the gallery for a guest, usually family member. They will be giving many of their tickets to victims of gun violence. But the message is all about the economy. The white house says that is the message here. The president wants to drive home who has been a theme of his, which is the middle class is the driver of economic growth. And in a challenge to republicans saying, we cannot cut our way to prosperity, look for new initiatives, new spending in this speech, to stimulate economic growth. And the answer will come from the republicans, senator marco rubio chosen to give the official response. It will be in english and spanish, of course. Hes a rising star, the senator from florida. Reporter thats right. His speech will be entirely in english. But he is pretaping an entire response in spanish that will go out on the Spanish Language networks. Rubios message will also be about the economy. Hes leading the charge for republicans on immigration. That will be mentioned in the speech. But again, his challenge will be to the president saying, we need a smaller government, maybe a more efficient government. But a smaller government. And there will be a separate Tea Party Response from senator rand paul. Diane sawyer and i will anchor the coverage of the state of the union at 9 00 p. M. Eastern, 6 00 pacific. Should be an interesting night, george. Were going to turn to the vacation nightmare. The Carnival Cruise ship that has been stranded in the gulf of mexico. Instead of trying to go to mexico, the ship trying to get to a port now in mobile, alabama. Matt gutman has the latest on the story. Reporter for the thousands of people aboard, another day aboard a cruise ship where life is not a vacation. The decision overnight to tow the crippled triumph, seen in these new photos, to alabama, could be making a brutal voyage even worse. And for the first time, we are hearing from passengers aboard that stricken ship. Theres no lights, no water. We cant flush. Some people were able to shower. Reporter conditions are getting worse by the hour, debra rightmire texted abc news. Cabin carpets are wet with urine and water. Toilets are overflowing inside our cabins. Were having to sleep inside the hallways. Onion and cucumber sandwiches last night. The triumph, which is bigger than the titanic, is running on emergency power. Its being towed at a torch rousely slow pace of a few miles per hour. Shelly crosby texted us, we have a lot of tent cities ondeck. And while carnivals ads boast limitless food, thats not the case on the triumph. We just stood in line for four hours to get a hamburger, crosby texted. Cell phone reception is just as scarce, coming only when another carnival ship pulls up to drop off supplies. If you can imagine, 4,000 people running to these single bathrooms. I mean, its horrible. Reporter brent nutt managed to briefly speak to his wife, bethany, and her friends on the crippled ship. All you hear on the phone calls is crying. And talking about, im going to die. Im going to die. Reporter carnival acknowledges there are issues. Tells abc news, theres plenty of food and water aboard. And its working on the sanitation problems. The ship is listing 4. 5 degrees. Thats because the wind is pushing it at 25 miles per hour. Certainly not making the trip home any more comfortable for those aboard. All right, matt. Tough times for those people on the ship.

But we begin with the breakup murder trial. Jodi arias was on the stand again yesterday, with another new charge against her victim. This time, she said her exboyfriend once assaulted her and broke her finger. The big question, will the jury believe her . Ryan owens has the latest. Can you hold up your hand for us to see . Reporter jodi arias crooked finger. She says its evidence her boyfriend, travis alexander, abused her. I put my hand up to block his foot. And it clipped my hand. And hit my finger. Reporter although the serial liar now on trial for his murder, admits she never went to a doctor and never called police. I definitely didnt want him to get in trouble. Reporter convincing this jury she was abused, even though theres no corroborating evidence, is key to the 32yearolds claim she was forced to kill alexander in selfdefense in june of 2008. You dont think it would end up like this. Reporter on her fourth day on the stand, arias father and younger brother were in court for the first time. They watched her tearfully detail several instances of alleged sexual and physical abuse. He pushed me down on the ground, in his bedroom. He wanted me to stay. I guess he could finish yelling at me. Reporter arias testified after one fight, she considered suicide. I didnt have a lot of selfesteem at that time. And i just i was kind of a doormat. Reporter but the prosecutor points out, arias kept going back to alexander. It was several months later, she repeatedly stabbed and shot him. And she never accused him of anything until she was facing the death penalty. Alexanders siblings were visibly angry as jodi arias testimony seemed to turn her into one of the victims. They said she killed their brother and is ruining his good name. Theyre waiting for crossexamination. For Good Morning America, ryan owens, abc news, phoenix. Now, were going to turn to another dramatic trial. This one, starting today. A jury seated monday in the murder case of Timothy Davis sr. , a Police Officer who is charged with shooting his own son to death. He says it was in selfdefense. But Surveillance Video from his own home is raising questions. And John Schriffen is here with the latest on this story. Reporter when the emotional trial starts later this morning, it will pit prosecutors against Timothy Davis family. Davis says he fired his gun after his son jumped him during an argument. His wife and daughter side with him. But prosecutors say there is evidence this shows this was intentional. Prosecutors say this Surveillance Video shows retired Orlando Police lieutenant, Timothy Davis sr. , retrieving a gun for his car, and then aiming it at his son. Moments later, they say, 22yearold timothy jr. Was dead. You have to slow down and tell me whats going on . I believe my son was shot. He was shot in front of where . In front of my house. Reporter in court monday, davis could be seen holding and reading through a bible as jury selection began. Court watchers expect prosecutors will tell that jury davis killed his son in cold blood. That the two men were arguing about the custody of davis grandson in october 2011, when the former cop snapped and shot at his own child. But Defense Attorneys say thats not what happened. That davis was defending himself, after being tackled by timothy jr. He believed that his son was about to cause Great Bodily Injury to him. If he convinces the jury of that, then that would give him a selfdefense, which would get him acquitted. Reporter along with 911 calls like this one from a neighbor. Where is he bleeding . Do you know . Hes on the floor. Reporter jurors will likely see that Surveillance Video, which was captured by the retired officers own security system. Investigators say it doesnt show a man struggling with his child. Just one looking for his weapon. This case, the video seems to suggest that mr. Davis sr. Actually pursued or continued the confrontation. Reporter davis is charged with seconddegree murder and could face up to life in prison if convicted. He has pled not guilty. Elizabeth . John, thank you so much. For more on this case, were going to bring in gmas legal analyst, dan abrams. Looking at that surveillance tape, its hard to see how he claims selfdefense. He does look like its a deliberate act of revenge or anger to shoot his son. Thats why his testimony is going to become so crucial. Hes going to have to testify in this case. Hes going to lay out, as he did in the stand your ground hearing, what was going through his head, why he was doing it, why he felt this was selfdefense. Why he felt this was justified. And regardless, you would think that the effort here would be to get these jurors to feel for him. To feel bad for him, regardless of what they think led up to this incident. The stand your Ground Defense that we heard in the Trayvon Martin case, also in florida. This was already dismissed and thrown out by the judge. He refused to drop the case based on stand your ground. Does that mean theres not going to be much of a chance of selfdefense working in this case . In the stand your ground hearing, what the defense is saying, i should be immune from prosecution. Meaning, prosecutors shouldnt even be able to move forward with this case. The defendant has the burden to demonstrate that. The defense presented its evidence. The judge said, absolutely not. Were moving forward with this case. But now, the prosecution will have the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And again, i think theres a fundamental difference between this heartbreaking testimony that i think he will present to a jury, versus to a judge, where its just a strictly a legal issue. What we dont see on that videotape is what preceded this encounter, what the history was between this father and son. But the key is going to be what is happening in those very moments. So, when you see the father shoot that gun, hes going to say, wait a second. After that, what happened was, he started coming at me. And i had to defend myself. Hes going to say, i went to the car to get the gun to defend myself, to protect myself. One of the problems is going to be thats inconsistent with other statements hes made to the authorities, where he said he just lost it. So, this is going to be a tough legal case for him. But if he can get these jurors to feel for him, if he can get a lesser included, Something Like manslaughter, that could be a win for him. And obviously, children at stake, witnesses. 9yearold child who witnessed it, has to testify. Dan abrams, well hear more as the story develops. Lets go to sam and a look at the nations weather. Good morning, elizabeth. Reports are in on the hattiesburg tornado. National Weather Service looked at it. The damage, almost 20 miles long. A horrible night. 82 people injured.

New details on how the captor treated him and how ethan is recovering right now. Abcs Abbie Boudreau has the story. Reporter for the first time, little ethan, and his mother, jennifer kirkland, are speaking out. Revealing new details about the six days in captivity, held in a bunker by jimmy lee dykes, the man who snatched the boy off a school bus after shooting the driver in cold blood. What happened in that bunker . We know, for example, that mr. Dykes did seem to have some empathy for the child. We do know that mr. Dykes fried him chicken in the bunker, to feed him and take care of him. Reporter dr. Phil visited ethan in alabama, just four days after the daring rescue. Has he volunteered anything about this . He has said a few things. And i know he is having a very hard time sleeping soundly. He swings his arms. Tosses and turns. And hes cried out a few times. Reporter dr. Phil says ethan hasnt been back to school yet. And even the sight of the school bus seems to agitate him. He has reported to really fixate on that. And the boy cant take his eyes off of it. Reporter what does that tell you . That he associates that with something that was very traumatic for him. Reporter the dr. Phil show says it plans to follow up with ethan and his mother to provide support and resources. The dr. Phil foundation is making a financial contribution to help support ethan in the future. Do you think ethan had a grasp of what happened to him . From an adult perspective, no. But i think he understands it was a very violent act. I think it scared him greatly. Reporter a frightening ordeal they hope some day will be a distant memory. For Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Our thanks to abbie.

Its fat tuesday here in times square. Everybody has their mardi gras gear on. And were back with the Provocative Research that weve all been talking about and discussing, what happens when parents have a favorite child. Its part of a brandnew study in the journal of child development. And shows that favoritism can have a negative impact on the entire family. Honey, we have an hour before the competition. Reporter even for this modern family, its considered the cardinal sin of parenting. I like it too much when you win. Reporter favoring one of your children over the other . Go get it. Reporter this father of two endured serious backlash last september, when he posted a blog, saying he liked one son more than the other. Hes just the one i relate to easier. And if that means hes my favorite and those are thats the language, i dont think thats too evil. Reporter but now, a university of toronto Study Reveals that a parents preference for one child, especially when its obvious, can negatively affect the entire family, even the child getting all the attention. Its really mainly when children perceive the parenting differences to be unfair that theyre most reactive to that themselves. Reporter days before Baltimore RavensHead Coach John Harbaugh faced off against his brother, jim, at the super bowl, he jokingly called into a press conference given my their parents. Is it true that you like jim better than john . Is that john . Reporter perhaps John Harbaugh had the right idea. The Research Says if one sibling acts out, he will ultimately win the attention. A dynamic that could create lasting problems. No kidding. With more on this, lets bring in abc news senior medical correspondent, dr. Jennifer ashton. Weve been debating this here. Is it true that parents, most parents, have a favorite child . I think most parents might have an inclination towards one child over another. But were talking in this study about dramatically positive and negative behavior. Were not talking about parenting children differently. Were talking about being very negative to one and maybe positive to the others. My first reaction, when i read the study was, oh, no. Do i have to add this to the list of the many things i may be doing wrong. But were talking here about dramatic examples. How often does that happen . Apparently it happens quite a bit. And the consequences here are not just for the child who is treated negatively, but for all the other siblings in the family, and not just at that time. Longlasting with effects into their adulthood, in terms of how they interact and have social relationships, the anxiety levels. Longterm consequences are significant. Its a nobrainer that the child who isnt the favorite would feel badly. But Research Shows that the child who is favored also feels guilt. It could be guilt. They could be looking to the mother, usually. Everything falls on us, to be consistent. And when they see that consistency is disrupted, it can be unsettling. Its saying its not just a give and take between two people in the family. Its the family as a unit. Its more than the sum of its parts. And it affects everyone. And quickly. Mothers under stress tend to show favoritism more often . Mothers who have stress in their back lives tended to be more negative. It all comes down to us. We have a hard job. Another thing. All right. Thanks. Josh . Elizabeth, thank you. Now, to Carrie Underwood. Showstopper of a gown at the grammys. Country superstar lighting up the stage literally. How did this work . Thankfully Abcs Amy Robach is on the case. Reporter when Carrie Underwood took to the stage sunday night at the grammy awards, her singing was flawless. Its not enough rain in oklahoma reporter but it may have been her dress that stole the show. Meeting for the first time reporter carrie sang two black cadillacs, images of stars, roses and butterflies were projected, like magic, on the dress. And more incredibly, the designer, don oneill, had just days to make it. We got the call on a friday. We need the dress in a week. Carrie wants something unique. And also something that can have a movie projected on it. Reporter the satin gown had tewell and crinoline on a skirt large enough to project the images. And thousands of crystals, handsewn on to the corset, taking a team of 4 80 hours to make. I love the triangle shape. And i wanted something that would be the modern piece. Reporter how did they project the images on to the dress . Carrie underwoods creative director dreamed up the idea. I thought, wouldnt it be cool if carrie wasnt stuck in the same gown for the who performance . Reporter two projectors put the images on the dress. Each one timed perfectly with the song. At the night of the grammys, underwood had to stand in one place. She even sang on an apple crate to elevate her. Don saw the dress, along with the millions, for the first time on sunday night. Can you create what you saw on stage . Beautiful. We have recreated carries dress in the studio. We have a beautiful model in a beautiful white dress. And were projecting the butterfly on to it. Isnt that great . Our Technical Team our Technical Team is amazing. That is cool. Isnt that cool . We showed the dress at the top of the hour. The bachelor. Well see what sam does with that. Were going to put america right there. Oh, they already have it. The weather. On her dress. Will you do your next forecast on her dress . Thats good. Think of the fun we could have. I love this idea. Thats great. At any rate, Carrie Underwood had two projectors doing that for her. More fashion for you. Heres one of the hottest fashion collaborations happening. Jennifer lawrence, in one of Prabal Gurungs gowns on the red carpet. He has joined forces with target, designing affordable looks. Theyre already selling out. Making them available, if you can find them, to all of us. We have three to show you live. But first, take a look at the story. The latest mad dash for superstar designer prabl guru gurungs new look isnt just for Jennifer Lawrence and anne hathaway, or for duchess kate and first Lady Michelle obama. Love, a collection by prabal gurung. Reporter its his collection at target for all of us thats causing quite the sensation. Its been two days since the designers latest launch. And the retailer is struggling to keep the threads in stock. While instagram and twitter are flooded with pictures of shoppers lucky to get their hands on something, ebay is filling up with listings. This dress sold for 250 big ones. Thats fivetimes its original price. It was the same phenomenon we saw when missoni hit target stores in 2011, drawing black fridaylike crowds.

A lot of emotion is there when loves on the lined. But what happened last night was a first. Abcs Abbie Boudreau talked to the woman behind it and got a sneak peek of whats in store for next week. Reporter its the show where villains come in unlikely packages. Hi, sean. Reporter and this season on the bachelor is no different. Meet tierra, who made bachelor history, who received a rose right after stepping out of the limo. The 20yearold denver native is vying for seans heart. And shes not there to make friends. Keeping my eye on the prize. Reporter on monday nights episode, this drama queen finally meets her match in 32yearold ashlee, whose heart wrenching story has viewers captivated. I was abused by a family. Reporter when ashlee breaks the Cardinal Rule you get a completely different girl than the house gets. Reporter she sets off one of the most dramatic bachelor meltdowns ever. It was sabotage. I never said anything to sean until he flat said your name and asked me about you. Period. People have judged me because i havent said good morning. Because of the look on my face. Its not nice. I cant control my eyebrows. Tierra was pretty out of control. She started to attack me. I eventually had to defend myself. You know, she was accusing me of sabotaging her. And that wasnt the case. Reporter tierras antics finally becoming too much for sean to handle. I think its best if you go home now. One too many dramatic spells happened. Reporter the mood changed once she left. When she went home, i thought, okay. Finally. Now, lets get to what the bachelor really is about, finding love. Reporter and she just might. Take a look at this exclusive sneak peek of next weeks episode. Ashlee was in five foster homes in one year when she came to us. So, that sense of abandonment was reenforced over and over again. So, what are your intentions for ashlee . Are you going to break her heart . Reporter for Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. So much goes on in that show. More dramatic episodes of the bachelor ahead on monday nights at 8 00, 7 00 central. Here on abc. You can toss to yourself. I am. Here is the most amazing guy with the weather. Hows that . Lara . I dont know. Were bringing him in from some place else. Lets get to the boards. One or two things are happening this morning we want to share with you. On the boards, your twitter and facebook pictures from the west today. A lot of stuff happening. Well show you the pictures from arizona, as well. And it is mardi gras. Fat tuesday. And today, it might be a little dry to start the day. Theres been thunderstorms rambling from dallas to shreveport this morning. You might get some breaks. I would expect thunderstorms all through the gulf today. Jackson, mobile, new orleans, montgomery, tupelo, atlanta. Youre all involved in that. And so are you, tallahassee, a little bit, north florida. Id put jacksonville on the list of getting some storms later on today. No, i wouldnt. I think miami is gorgeous today. All of americas weather, that whole last look, was brought to you by jimmy dean sausage. Elizabeth . Samuel. Im with Pamela Druckerman who is here to talk about her brandnew book, bebe day by day. Its a followup book to her hit book, bringing up bebe. Am i saying that right . You are. Its a kinder, gentler approach to parenting. You say kinder and gentler. Its sort of a celebration of laissezfaire parenting, isnt it . On the one hand, it is quite laissezfaire. Its giving kids as much freedom. Realizing they benefit from autonomy. And drawing some limits and being strict about certain things. Not letting kids interrupt adult conversation. Realizing if the whole House Centers around what the kids need, even the kids dont benefit from that, let alone the grownups. The first book you wrote about bringing up your children. You live in paris with your kids, with your husband, who is british. And your first book touched a bit of controversy in this country. Why did you decide to wade back into this, with more tips on how to bring up your children, as they do in france . Well, the controversy, with all due respect, was kind of a media controversy. After that, i started getting lots of letters from ordinary parents saying, thank you for sharing your story. And thank you for sharing these common sense tips. Theres a hunger in america to the alternative to the over, hyper parenting were doing. With all due respect to your fascinating personal story, wed like to know what to do. This book is 100 tips. The smartest, most practical things i learned from french parenting. If you had to say what the most important tip is, what would it be . I think its the not interrupting rule. I think that changes the whole pace of family life. What happens in a french family, if a child interrupts, the mother turns to him and calmly says, im in the middle of something. Ill be with you in a minute. And conversely, the mother is supposed to let the child play and not interrupt the child when hes in the middle of something. It calms everything down, the hectic pace of family life. You also say teaching a child how to say hello and goodbye properly is more important than saying thank you and youre welcome. The french are obsessed with getting children to say bonjour. Thats to teach them empathy. And make them realize that other people exist. They think children are naturally very selfish and think the whole world revolves around them. And you have to puncture that at a certain stage. I have to say, in some respects, when you talk about the way the french raise their kids, im surprised how much french men sort of get a free you know . A free pass through this whole thing. Most french women do the vast majority of child rearing. Theres french women not happy about that. But in america, we expect 50 50. And when we dont get it, which when we dont, we get angry about that. We focus on that 10 . And french women have a talent for letting it go a little bit. And saying french men dont know how to book the pediatrician appointments. They cant do it. Lets get to a quick quiz here. If your newborn starts to fuss in the middle of the night, you should, ignore the fussing or the baby will never learn to sleep through the night . Or wait a few minutes to see if the fussing stops and then go in and comfort the child . The answer is b. For bebe. The french believe even little babies can sleep. This isnt furberizing. Even when the baby is a few weeks old, its believing he can connect to sleep cycles if you give him a chance. And this question, i have a picky eater, one of my two kids. When it comes to trying new food, you tell your kids they have to try one bite of every dish, no exceptions . Or have a replacement dish available for them . The onebite rule. I think thats the genius of french eating. And for dinners, right . Everybody eats the same thing. French kids eats the same thing as their parents. They eat their vegetables. Its all from repetition. Getting them used to different foods. Its a great book. Great tips in here. Its great to see you again. The baby is called not the baby. The book. It feels like a baby. Pamela druckerman, great to see you. Thanks so much for having me on. The stars of beautiful creatures are here to tell you all about the hot, new, supernatural romance film. Dont go away. And were back, now, with the stars of beautiful creatures. The hot new romance film. Were going to talk to the three in a moment. But first, take a look. You think lenas a good girl now. But it wont matter. Even if her true nature doesnt claim her for the dark, the curse will. Its already started. Im warning you. You know its true. Oh, look at my manners. Here, honey. Get away from him. Oh, really . And away we go. Happy to have alice englert, alden ehrenreich, emmy rossum. And jeremy irons, part of the cast. I understand that part of the pitch to do the film involved reading the book, which you hadnt actually read the books prior to. What did you think when you first checked into the story . I thought it was a wonderfully characterdriven story. A story that had spectacular things and magical elements. The characters felt so real to me in the book and the script. I know, alice, you turned down the role at first. What finally got you to accept . It wasnt actually an offer. I didnt want to audition. I didnt read the script. Now, i have discovered it wasnt a very good idea before you say no to things. And it was really very simply reading the script that changed my mind. Again, its a supernatural story, its roots are in humanity, which i think are really important, when working with this genre. It cant just be specialeffects driven. Right. And i read all of the books. Every one. Even the new one that came out. I read it. I love it. Even in that clip, youre a baddy here. Something of a turn for you. How does it . I felt so bad being so horrible. But it was really fun. I never get to be the villain. What i love about this story is it gives the power back to the women in the story, which is new for so good of a message to send to young girls, the women. Its about claiming yourself and not letting your past dictate who youre going to be. And its a wonderful message. Not to confine it. We look to compare. We look to compare and contrast. Twilight being thrown around a lot now, for any number of reasons. Alden, what do you think of the comparisons . He had to readjust for that. Put on the game face. I havent seen them. I dont know how similar the stories are. That movie kind of opened up this genre and made it something that was commercially viable. I think that because of that, these other films are able to be made. But i think this movie has its own dna and its own unique brand of humor. Its really funny. A funny movie. And dark. Sexy. Richard lagravenese, the writer director started out in standup comedy. You feel that in the movie. It undercuts the moments with humor. Its really nice. You could see that as you were starting to recap it, you say it with some snark. Panache. Emmy, you are incredibly busy. Theres not a bit of media you have not touched. Album out. Show on showtime. How does the schedule work out for you right now . It doesnt. I dont sleep. I do. Its so fun. I love what i do. And this is so special. Its a great book, a great movie. And im constantly inspired by getting to work with amazing people. Jeremy irons and everyone on my show, too. These wonderful actors im lucky enough to sit next to this morning are so talented. Everyone asks me, did you give them advice . No. I learn from them. Theyre gifted. And it was a joy. We had viola davis on. It opens thursday. Valentines day. Best of luck. Thursday, theaters nationwide. Do not miss it. And dont go anywhere. Were getting tastes from italy from nigella lawson. All right. Were back, now, with nigella lawson, known for great comfort food.

It doesnt matter. No, it doesnt. And quickly, a little like this. And thats not i dont call that any heavy lifting. No. And refrigerate for a certain amount of time . If you refrigerate it, dont put the cocoa on until after its been in the refrigerator. Do that lastminute. It doesnt need to stand long. This is great. With the chocolate sauce. I dont make a white sauce first. It hasnt got a lot of flour and milk. I dont like macaroni and cheese and this is fantastic. Can i get that tattooed on me . Divine.
