He gave an emotional tribute to the man who inspired his political career. Choked up at time. Saying that because mandela could admit to imperfection, we loved him so. He was a humble servant. A ceremony filled with newsic, celebration. The president comparing mandela to gandhi, Martin Luther king jr. And abraham lincoln. Urging the world to act on inequality. Thats kirk frank lynne. Just the president talking about how what mandela stood for showed us that we can all change. And a man who inspish sod much change. History inside the stadium, as well. You see president obama greeting foreign leaders. He shook the hand of cuban president raul castro. Lets go to terry moran first. The stadium emptying out a bit. Quite a morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. A historic event for our time. It was an unprecedented gathering of the most powerful people in the world. Princes, president s, heads of state gathered here today with tens of thousands of ordinary South Africans who braved the cold, drenching rain to pay tribute to the man who freed them and set an unforgettable example for the rest of the world. This morning, the world came to south africa, braving the pouring rain to celebrate the man who changed history. We will reflect on the life of a man two took the pain of millions of South Africans. Reporter it was the largest gathering of World Leaders ever. Over 100 heads of state, joining Nelson Mandelas family and thousands of South Africans. His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph. Your dignity and your hope found expression in his life. And your freedom, your democracy, is his cherished legacy. Reporter just as mandela brought his country together, his memorial began with a coming together of religions, during an interfaith prayer. He, too, transcended his personal pain and years of suffering, to forgive and to embrace his brothers and sisters, who inflicted so much pain on him. To madiba for his selfless efforts, salvaging the nation and leading it to the path of peace, reconciliation and harmony. Reporter then, a song to Nelson Mandela.

So many emotional tribute this is morning. So many World Leaders there, including four american president s. Kind of surprising. Not a lot of visible security. Reporter given how many of the worlds most powerful people are here, virtually no security. I waited five hours in line the other day for this credential. No one looked at it. What they depended on was what you see. The goodgoodwill, the legacy of Nelson Mandela. That doesnt satisfy security expert. But the spirit was strong. That faith paid off today. Thank you, terry. Thankfully, it did. Also there in south africa, byron pitts. And i had a chance to talk with him as the ceremony was going on earlier this morning. Reporter if you can believe it, it inspired them. The harder it rains, the harder they cheered. In african culture, theres a belief that if its raining on the day of a persons funeral, sit a sign from god that person lived a blessed life. That south africa was blessed by the life of Nelson Mandela. Earlier, up in the cheap seats, they said, let it rain. Lord, open the floodgates of heaven. Let it rain. Robin, those prayers have been answered over and over again today. They were answered tenfold. And being up there in the cheap seats, like that.

Right now, we begin with the newlywed murder trial out of montana. Jordan graham charged with pushing her husband to his death just eight days after their wedding. The jury hearing the first witnesses yesterday. Ryan owens is covering the case. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning from a very snowy montana to you, george. A total of eight men and six women, that includes two alternates, must now decide if Jordan Graham is a murderer. Among the first witnesses they heard from, her own maid of honor. Jordan, do you want to say anything about how the trials gone so far . Reporter Jordan Graham doesnt show much emotion as she walks out of court. And she doesnt show much inside either. Monday, the 22yearold sat quietly as federal prosecutors called her own maid of honor to testify against her. Can you tell us what it was like to see her . Kimberly martinez says she was grahams closest friend and helped her plan her wedding to 25yearold cody johnson. The man graham is accused of pushing off a cliff, just eight days after she said i do. Graham has pleaded not guilty. Martinez read Text Messages graham sent her the day after the wedding. Totally just had a meltdown. Im completely secondguessing everything right now. Prosecutors say she shoved him face first off a cliff at Glacier National park in july because she had fallen out of love with him. More teks to her maid of honor. I should be happy. And im just not. If i tell him how im really feeling, its going to break his heart. Grahams Defense Attorneys say it was all a horrible accident. That the newlyweds were arguing about the brides grave doubts about getting married so young. When johnson grabbed her arm and she pushed him off in selfdefense. The jury also heard texts to her maid of honor that may support that claim. Just two days before his death, she wrote of her new husband, he held me down the other night and was in my face. He gets a temper fast. Up next this morning, more from that maid of honor. George, this judge is moving this thing at a breakneck speed. He says he has another trial starting on monday in a different montana city. And he plans to be there. He wants the jury to have this case by friday. Wow. Not wasting any time. Ryan, thanks very much. Lets get more on this from abc chief Legal Affairs anchor dan abrams. First day, early read . Its a pretty straightforward case. Im not surprised its going pretty quickly. Whats interesting is how both sides are trying to use the problems in the marriage. The prosecution saying, this was the motive. She wanted out, so she kills her husband. The defense is saying, she was worried. She did want to talk to him about getting out. She texted friends about her concerns. Look, im going to have the talk today. But if something happens to me, if you dont hear from me, then maybe something happened. We heard the first rationale from the defense as to why Jordan Graham might have lied about what happened. And the claim for the defense is that she was scared. She didnt think anyone was going to believe her. This is one of the weaker points for the defense, this notion that shes lying for days, to the authorities, to her friends, to her family. And the reason she didnt want to tell anyone is because she was afraid no one would believe her. Theres some indication from the judge that this could be a tough case for the prosecution. The judge did not allow incriminating statements from her in the past they wanted to introduce. More importantly, there is a crucial interview she did with the authorities here. And the judge may give an instruction, the fact they didnt record part of that conversation, the crucial part of it. Thats not normal. Meaning, that the jury can take something away from that. They can have concerns about the way that was done. Depending on how severe that instruction is, that could be a very significant point against the prosecution. Okay. Dan abrams, thanks very much. I think, dan, youre going to want to stay around for this one, as well. To texas, where the District Attorney is fighting to hold on to her job after an arrest for drunken driving. Critics say her behavior, captured on video, shows she is not fit to serve. But shes refusing to resign. Abcs linsey davis has that story. Reporter travis county, texas, District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg is back in court today, fighting to keep her job. Last april, i made a huge mistake. And ive spent a lot of time trying to make amends for that. I can detect alcohol on your breath. Is that right . Yes, maam. Reporter lehmbergs drunk driving arrest has been publicized. Her drug blood alcohol level was over legal limit, but it was her behavior before trying to keep you from tripping over. You dont need to be slapping his hands away. Reporter and after her arrest that led to this civil case. An austin attorney has filed a petition to have her removed from office. You have just ruined my career. Reporter what may have been more detrimental to her career, is what happened next. County sheriffs deputies testified monday that the night of her arrest, she was rude, angry, loud, and belligerent. This jail video shows her stomping, kicking, sticking her tongue out. Even gesturing with her fingers as if she were firing a gun. Do you know what youre doing . Yes, maam. We have asked you plenty of times to stop kicking the door. And you didnt stop kicking the door. Reporter at one point, she had to be strapped into a restraint chair, a spit guard placed over her head. Are you going to listen to me . Im not going to listen to you. Okay. I want to make a phone call, okay . Reporter she has issued a public apology and gone to rehab. But she refuses to resign. I cannot imagine that she could keep her job based on her behavior. Threatening the officers. Reporter this morning, with lehmbergs job on the line, she likely hopes that similar to countless other cases before this, that this, too, is a matter she can get resolved in court in her favor. Linsey davis, abc news, new york. This piece even stopped dan abrams in his tracks. Hes over there looking at the monitor right now. You hadnt seen all of that video.

Im mort crim with jessica savidge. Reporter he says, they were talking to mort crim, who was saying i was a blank to her. He still spoke like this. He used his oncamera voice. You have to understand that i was a typical, traditional, 1972 male chauvinist anchor. I cannot work with this woman. I did not take offense. Comedy and satire and parody is nothing but taking a grain of truth and stretching it out to an absolutely ridiculous conclusion. I think thats what they have done very skillfully in anchorman, the first anchorman, and i enjoyed it immensely. Reporter crim who is an author and voiceover artist, the movie holds true to life as a journalist in the 1970s. I think theyve done an excellent job of taking some real situations, some real tensions that existed, and squeezed the humor out of them. Reporter this weekend, the real anchorman is heading to new york city for the premiere of anchorman 2, and is set to meet ron burgundy for the first time.

And her greatest secret to looking good. And i always love hearing from her. A lot this hour. First, lets get the news from josh. Were going to begin with the worlds goodbye to the singular Nelson Mandela. Nearly 100 heads of state joined tens and tens of thousands of South Africans, packing into a rainsoaked soccer stadium in johannesburg for this mornings memorial. The rain could not dampen the spirits or the tributes, in song and dance. As president obama called Nelson Mandela the last great liberator of the 20th century. It was precisely because he could admit to imperfection. Because he could be so full of good humor, even mischief. Despite the heavy burdens that he carried, that we love him so. One other note of interest from the ceremony. President obama, you see this here. Before his eulogy, shook hands with cuban president raul castro. The president leaves south africa this afternoon. Here at home, a new round of snow, shutting down the government and a whole lot else. A half foot of snow on the way. As federal offices in the Nations Capital have been closed. Many schools closed, from virginia to new york. And ginger will have her complete snowy forecast in just moments. And new evidence that some organic food may be better for us. Researchers say that organic whole milk is healthier than conventional milk because it contains more of the fatty acids that contribute to a healthy heart. The research was funded, in part, by a farm group that sells organic products. But independent experts call the findings credible. Another Health Headline for you, women may benefit from viagra. A small study says women who took the drug internally, found it eased their monthly cramps. Doctors are not yet sure exactly why. And George Zimmermans girlfriend has had an apparent change of heart. Samantha says she no longer wants to pursue Domestic Violence charges against zimmerman. Back in november, she claimed that zimmerman had threatened her. And finally, a very narrow escape to show you. Take a look at this. In the alps, an avalanche. You see those tiny dots in the middle of the screen, those are mountain goats, ten of them, trying to outrun the snow. And you see, only six managed to do so, until oh. The resilient young guys or gals, cant be sure. They made it. They all made it out to safety. Im going to guess that those are four little ones. And for them, thats a bath. Newly scrubbed. Rejoining the herd. Probably a word for sarina in her younger days. Lets go. Grab a towel. Grab soap. Pop news coming up. Lara is back. But first, lets get some weather from ginger zee. Hey, guys.

Shes speaking out. A brandnew interview. Kind of revealing. Opens up about her insecurities. Has some surprising beauty tips and why shes in such a good place right now. Bianna golodryga with that. Hey, bianna. Reporter hey, george. She is in a good place right now. Were learning that wasnt always the case. To the outside world, Jennifer Aniston exudes a sense of selfconfidence we rarely see. Constantly in the spotlight and hounded by the press, americas sweetheart always appears to take that pressure in stride. But this morning, confessions from the star herself how she felt in the 30s. Including bouts with insecurity. You cant buy me. Reporter shes one of hollywoods biggest movie stars. A red carpet darling. And a style icon. In a new interview, we are learning that Jennifer Aniston secretly lived with insecurity, even while the rest of the world was adoring her on friends. There were some people that said i looked like a floating angel. Reporter the now 44yearold actress called her 30s, my awkward phase. And said, im a little bit of a late bloomer. Its a sentiment that aniston echoed when she spoke with amy robach a few months ago. I feel great. Ive been much better shape, feel better than i ever did in my 20s, for sure. Reporter aniston, who does appear to be defying time, also dished about her signature locks, including her recent decision to go short. Im loving it right now, she says. We were at a photo shoot the other day. And i just said, lets chop it off. It was one of those moments. I love doing Something Different and changing it up. She also says her favorite celebrity locks belong to Supermodel Gisele bundchen. But perhaps even more shocking, jennifers not so glamorous beauty tip. Admitting she puts serums in her hair because she tries not to wash it every day. And her secret to looking and feeling good, is simply being in love. Telling parade, i feel most beautiful when im just home with Justin Theroux in the morning. Or anytime of day im with him. So im really digging that new short hair cut that she has. She says even though she likes it, shes still partial to long hair. And Something Else she said in this interview which i thought was interesting. When shes flipping channels and she comes across a friends episode, she stops to watch. That must be awkward. I wondered that. Reporter do you watch or not . Its on all the time. But insecure a decade . I mean, well, okay. Reporter we all have them, right . I guess. Pretty broad. Thank you, bianna. Always good to have you here. Now, to the diet soda story. So many people watching their weight turn to diet soda. But a surprising development. Diana perez has the latest on why diet soda sales are losing their pop. Reporter it seems the diet soda craze may be going flat. New sales figures show the 75 billion industry is losing some of its fizz. For the past three years, the decline in diet soda has been greater than regular soft drinks. The wall street journal reports this year, zero and lowcalorie sodas are down 7 . While regular soda is 2 . 33yearold diana started drinking diet soda in kindergarten. I love drinking diet soda for nearly 30 years because it was cold, convenient, carbonated. Reporter but in august, she quit, after her physical trainer talked to her. My trainer explained to me that the artificial sweetener in the soda would cause your insulin to spike. When i realized how the stuff i was putting in my body, i decided to stop. Reporter according to the American Beverage Association, the sweeteners arent dangerous. Low and nocalorie sweeteners have been proven to be safe and effective tool for weight management. All based on decades of scientific research. For good morning america, diana pressure, abc news, new york. We want to add that the American Beverage Association says, quote, our Member Companies offer a wide variety of beverage options, Portion Sizes and calorie counts and continue to innovate with more choices to meet evolving consumer needs. End of quote. We asked you to weigh in, why you have or have not switched to beverages other than diet sodas. And kathleen, she sent in this one. I gave up diet coke completely two years ago. I switched to water mostly. But i have to say, every once in a while, i do miss my d. C. Another viewer told us they started juicing a few years ago. And kicked that soda habit to the curb. Joining us now, abc news nutrition and wellness editor and author of eat it to beat it, Dave Zinczenko. How are you doing . Im doing great. You must be feeling good about the fact that the sales are going down. What does that say to you . Im happy that the pop soda bubble is popping. What it says to me is the diet sodas are losing their health halo. We make decisions partly based on science. Partly on how they make us feel. What we really need to do here is consider that we go out and we are looking at diet soda as something that used to symbolize being healthconscious and fit. We would be getting ready for jazzercise, grab our diet sodas. We would turn away. And its the chemicals theyre worrying about. Theyre starting to count ingredients, not calories. Theyre realizing thats really important. You have to look for the alternatives. Theres diet sodas have that have something thats called bromated vegetable oil. Its a sin thet ek flame retardant if some citrus drinks. So what are the alternatives . We have bottled water. We have green tea thats unsweetened. Natural ginger ale. What you have in front of you, josh, the izze, its a grapefruit drink. We have those at home. Those are great. It is terrific. Its preservativefree. Its owned by pepsi. A lot of people are turning to Natural Energy shots, like Something Like this. Like eboost, a great alternative. But its coming down to natural ingredients. Theyre looking to stay away from high sugar, artificial flavors. All of the things that flameretardant. Flameretardant. Thank you. Appreciate that. tis the season to rock the holidays at parties.

Come january 5th, we can welcome back our favorite upstairs, downstairs drama. The creator and seven of its stars are here in our studio, with a sneak peek of the new season. Take a look. Matthew was dead 50 years before his time. Suspe isnt that enough for me to deal with . Leave me alone. Exactly what i was afraid of. She is living a nightmare. And we must all step back and allow her to come through it in her own time. Arent i right, mamma . No. We cant discuss it now. This is delicious, carson. Is this the work of mrs. Battle . And here they are now. Downton abbey stars and creator. Im just going to go through the list. Laura carmichael. Julian fellowes. Rob jamescollier. Leslie nicol. Allen leech. Phyllis logan. And welcome to good morning america. Julian, id like to start with you. You have said you got a lot of heat in the days after we all saw the untimely death happen. What was that like for you . What was your reaction . It was a bit shocking, actually. I had letters saying i will not watch anything you have to do with again. And they didnt realize, in england, we only have threeyear contracts. When people want to leave, they leave. And they cant just vanish. You cant send them up the chimney. Theyre still a member of the family. Im afraid if theyre never going to come back, its the grim reaper thats the only answer. And on the show, things were looking so well for, michelle, your character and matthew. And i guess it would have been a little odd for them to suddenly start fighting or split up. Also, to never come back. He has a son. He has an estate. It wasnt believable. Im afraid, but he had to breathe his last. Were very sorry. But that was the way it had to be. Thats the way it had to be. Michelle, for you, life moves forward. Whats that like for your character . Life without matthew . Can you give us a glimpse of what well see . Well, mary very much reverts back to the kind of cold, icy side again. Oh, no. Inevitably because shes because of what shes going through. And its something that i wasnt expecting. And we all werent expecting, really. I was expecting marital bliss. And, you know, bringing up baby. You were surprised . I know thats the way it had to be. But, yeah. She does she needs to move on. So, there are new suitors. And . Yeah. Theres one or two. Or three. I love it. Yeah. Shes adjusting, really. Thats what the whole series is about for mary is moving on. Okay. And, laura, your character, we hear is going to come into her own in a whole, new way. You play marys sister. Yes. But i was reading that maybe its not quite as easy as you thought it would be, the modern world . No. Well, nothings simple or easy. Its really in season three, she has a london life going on with her editor. So, edith gets wild in the next season . Kind of, yeah. Its fun. Its a good story for her. And a nice contrast with mary, who is grieving. Edith gets to escape Downton Abbey and go to london and have a different life there. She builds her own life. Shes building her own life, really, in the world of the 20s, which is different to the world before the war. And the costumes. And the clothing must be so fun. Yeah. Its great. I love the clothes. Hugh, id like to ask you. You seem to be warming up to the idea of matthew you guys were doing great job of getting a little more progressive in terms of saving Downton Abbey. What happens now . Are you going to revert back . Now, robert is faced with the burden of death duties, since matthew was the comanager, the owner of the estate. Now, theres a big debate how best to run the estate in the future. That brings me up against marys strongwilled nature. I want to protect my heir, who is now 6 months old at the beginning of the series. And allow mary to grieve in the way i think she should grieve, which is probably forever. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Whose character is sadder about this . You were sort of in love with him. Everybody, the great alan, you do such great job playing branson. Are we going to see the sadness lift for you . Where are you as we move forward . As we go into season four, branson is estate manager. Hes got a lot of responsibility in the estate. And hes the only person who knows what marys going through. He becomes a confidant and a friend to her. Oh, how confident . Julian, im just saying. Im not saying. If it was the american version, you know. Oh, thats interesting. Really interesting. I want to get to the rest of you. Rob, hello. Hello. I heard in the preinterview that you were quite fun and that you might be the wild card. A little feisty. Allen and you are dear friends off the set. I guess you hang out when youre not working . We do. A bit of a bromance going on. Oh, we love a good bromance here at good morning america. Thats nice to see. And look at you two beautiful ladies. Me . I cant leave out phyllis loga logan, mrs. Hughes. Youre like the glue that holds it all together. I like to think so. In some respects, yes. Certainly. And how about mrs. Patmore at the end of last season . I love that. He only staid for five minutes. I know. But more to come, i hope . Im having a word with the boss. They were five good minutes. Julian saying, dont get too i put in a request for maybe another one. But you know. We did get a tweet. Everyone wanted to know how much are you missing dan stevens . How has that been for you . Missing him so much, were insisting on having a drink with him tomorrow night. Are you going to .

You said you really enjoyed some of the scenes you did. Like the one with christian bale. Every time he takes on a role, he becomes that person. And theres a wonderful scene. You guys are barely saying anything, in the dry cleaners. Yeah. That really spoke to you, too . It did. It was one of my favorite scenes. I love the quiet scenes in movies. He does a thing, when his glasses comes off. He looks at her so intimately and vulnerably. Theres one of these things, when a man looks at you like that, theyre just giving you their soul. And its such a precious gift. On the flipside of that, it was soulful and peaceful. You hauled off and hit bradley coopers character. Oh, yeah. You had to be really talked into it . You know, i believe you can accomplish something without hurting someone. I kept hitting him. And i guess it wasnt reading as hard enough. Davids yelling, hit him. Hit him. Bradleys yelling, hit me, hit me. And his face started swelling. In real life, it started swelling. Oh, yeah. It started swelling. I was like, i certainly hope you have it. Because i think bradley needs some ice. I felt very badly about that. It seems like you all got along. And jennifer lawrence, she jumps off the screen. She does. Shes just unstoppable. Shes a phenomenon. And in this character, just had so much to work with. And really embraces this sort of insanity thats created. We have this scene here that this was your idea. The end of it, yeah. We dont want to give it away. Well, the end of it was, i was just thinking, my character is so strong and so angry, why would i let her walk out of the room . What could she do to get me to freeze . What if she does this. And she was game. Its a wonderful thing about jennifer, shes up for anything. And shes just fantastic. Everybody is holding their own on that. And then the different you must have changed costumes about 50 times. 50 times, yes. Theres beautiful pictures in vanity fair as well. Was that part of it . Thank you very much. Yeah, i mean, shes trying on all of these different personas. So, the costumes were a big part of how she defines herself. Its like her armor, really. But it seems to be that the stronger she feels, the less clothes she wears. Or the stronger she wants to feel. But she uses it as a manipulation and as a weapon. But it was such an insane shoot that some of the costumes were a closet at some warehouse. You find somewhere to change with dignity and modesty. It worked. We felt like we were in the 70s. The hair. Everyone had a different style going. It was just yeah, we had a great design team. Really lucky with everybody we worked with. Michael wilkinson, who did the costumes. And kathy and everyone, who did the hair and makeup. Really ambitious and went for it. Josh gives it two thumbs up. I saw it last night. I do, too. It is great. Thats so good to hear. And the cast all coming together. The director, everything. Thank you very much. Thank you. Enjoy your family. I will. Have a good time. In the holiday season.
