Ginger starts us off from a cold times square. Hey, ginger. Hey, there. We have broken a record in new york city and have done so in atlanta and raleigh, as well. It is not, of course, just that temperature, but it is the windchill. Let me show you the breadth of this. We have the graphics right up here to show you the bitter cold blast. It extends all the way from, yes, chicago, still feeling like youre 30 below, to orlando, feeling like theyre only in the mid 20s. 3 in montgomery. Nashville at 2. Look at syracuse this morning, 23 below. We have some blizzard conditions in western new york. This is just going to be a big story all day today, and we are covering it full.

Reporter ginger, good morning, 11 degrees below zero right now in chicago. And take a look behind me. You can just see that vapor rising. Its so cold. And overnight, we got new images showing just hoe cold it is here in the midwest. Take a look. Oh, god. Reporter when it gets this cold, black ice is king.

If you can stay in today, stay in all day today. Reporter School Closings as far south as atlanta. The streets in Central Illinois completely deserted. The windchill there, a mindnumbing negative 30 degrees. Try opening the window in chicago and youll get this. 35 living room. Its so cold Lake Michigan looks more like a hot tub. The water outside chicago, warmer than the frigid air and ice already forming along the banks. This right here is just more than we had expected at all. Reporter so cold, many car batteries just arent working. With the cold weather its not going to start. Reporter a water main break in subzero columbus, ohio, turning streets into steamy rivers. Crews scrambling to clean it up before it freezes solid.

Truckers everywhere praying they wont be next. Id freeze to death before i got help. Reporter in indianapolis, in the middle of the snowstorm, a young mother giving birth to her first child by herself at home early monday morning. Her due date was not until the 21st. I think she wanted to see the blizzard. She didnt want to miss out. Reporter mom and baby are doing okay. Great news there. Amazing story. Look at what happens when i spray this water here on to this bus stop. I wanted to try this awhile ago and the water inside this froze. Here i have my car scraper, the ice scraper. Check it out. You hear that . The water has instantly turned to ice, robin. We do hear that. All right, gio, thank you. To the three amtrak trains stuck in the snow west of chicago at this hour. Abcs ryan owens has the latest on this breaking story. Reporter god morning. Robin. Its all of 14 degrees below zero here in indianapolis. Which makes me the winner this morning, or perhaps the loser. This town is essentially shut down. At least the governor has now opened some of the interstates. They were closed for awhile on monday. It is still slow going. And it is no going for some train passengers. Stuck in a snow bank. Thats how more than 500 amtrak passengers find themselves this morning, some 80 miles outside of chicago. Emergency nurse Brian Plummer is among those who spent the last 14 hours stranded. You know, everybodys anxiety went up. Youre unsure of the unknown. Reporter three trains, the southwest chief from los angeles, the illinois zephyr from quincy, and the california zephyr from San Francisco literally ground to a halt about 4 00 monday afternoon in rural illinois. After 14 hours, as you might imagine, the Living Conditions on board are less than ideal. Especially in the bathroom. All the sinks are frozen. You cant wash your hands. We wanted to know what was going on, but a lot of the updates we kept getting were keep on waiting. Reporter emergency crews are on scene but theres not much they can do. And amtrak says for now, the safest place to be is on those trains. Its been a pretty rough night out there on the railroad. And supplies, food, theres power on the trains and so the safest course of action is really for them to stay where they are. Reporter amtrak is trying to figure out how to tow the trains. One option, to actually put them on the highways. That wouldnt work so well here in indiana where the governor shut down the interstates for a time monday. Air travel, just look at this picture i snapped from the airplane after landing in indianapolis. Hundreds are stranded here. An squup date now on the train passengers stranded next door in illinois. Amtrak has finally managed to begin rescuing some of those 500plus people. Theyve brought in buses. Theyll now take those to chicago. Quite a journey home, george. Ill bet. Ryan, thank you very much.

Reporter good morning, george. Its a staggering 14 degrees below zero here in milwaukee. For many, this cold has now become a matter of life or death.

In the chicago area, authorities investigated the deaths of four people, all died after shoveling snow in the bitter freeze. 37 people in ohio rushed to the e. R. Because of coldrelated problems. Dr. Jeffrey smith says his emergency room in milwaukee has been nonstop. With this kind of cold if youre outside for just a few minutes, what can happen . Really as little as five minutes there can be damage to the skin. Thats when it starts with frostbite. Reporter look at these thermal images. All the red is heat leaving your body. If youre not bundled up, the heat begins to escape immediately. And look at how quickly frostbite becomes a reality. Your fingers, red when you take off your glove. Just one minute later, blue. The heat all gone. For some, there is no way to escape the cold. When its this cold, how important is the job you guys are doing . Its very important. Reporter we got to ride along with these Milwaukee Police officers patrolling the streets, helping get those stranded outside to someplace warm. And giving out gloves, socks, and hats to those who need it most. And, you know, we mentioned those four people who died while shoveling. Doctors say you really have to be careful. They say shoveling is just like lifting heavy weights. Always try to push the snow when possible instead of lifting it. And if you do have to pick it up, make sure you use your legs instead of your back. Most importantly, doctors say you should always Pay Attention to your body. If something doesnt feel right, you should stop and get somebody to help you. Robin . Great advice there, alex. Thank you very much. Going to move on to the bcs championship game. You know it was a thrilling showdown. And who was there . Josh elliott smack dab in the middle for every exciting second of it. It was quite a finish there, josh. Good morning. Good morning, robin.

It was thought to be a massive mismatch. But fewer than 12 minutes into the game, topranked and heavily favored Florida State got a stunning dose of reality. Our first touchdown. Tre mason hits pay dirt for auburn. Reporter just like that, the rose bowl was electrified. First time in almost 600 minutes that Florida State has trailed in a game. It is on touchdown, Auburn Reporter underdog auburn took a commanding early lead over the seminoles and wouldnt let up. We got ourselves a ball game. But in the second half, the seminoles battled back. With score after score and just 4 30 to go took back control or so it seemed. 30, 40, daylight. Green ahead got it headed for the end zone touchdown, Florida State reporter and after auburn would answer, it came down to the final seconds of the game in one of the most thrilling title game finishes in recent memory. The Heisman Trophy winner, jameis winston, after early struggles of his own, hit on this twoyard pass for the 3431 win. Touchdown. I said this from day one, in spring ball, these kids are special. Reporter afterward winston was named the mvp on his 20th birthday. We controlled our own destiny through all the haters through every single thing we came out victorious. And god did this.

A handful of crooked lawyers and doctors who know the system have advised these Police Officers and former firemen how to game the system and gain thousands of dollars a month, a total maybe of millions of dollars in benefits. And this, they trade on the people who actually did suffer actual disabilities. 343 new york city firemen and 23 new York City Policemen who died in 9 11.

Other stories coming up breaking today, Nigella Lawsons former assistant, remember they were facing her in the courtroom showdown speaking out for the First Time Since the explosive trial and tell us more about what life was really like with the top chef. All right and then its a bizarre new ad for old spice thats exploding online. Why its got a lot of people, well, puzzled and then were going to talk about what the best diet is for you in this new year. The experts breaking it down. We begin with the latest on Nigella Lawson. As we said her former personal assistants speaking out for the First Time Since exposing her drug use and lama hasan has the details in london. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning to you, george. Well, yes, this morning in an exclusive tellall interview on a morning tv show here in britain, the grillo sisters are opening up revealing that this trial was a nightmare for them saying that their once loving relationship with nigella and her family no longer exists. The trust, they say, has now gone. Well, we welcome you both. Reporter this morning the grillo sisters are speaking out telling their side of the story. Not knowing whats next. Reporter saying they have no regrets about forcing nigella to admit to taking drugs publicly. I feel sorry we end up in that situation. She did it. She didnt admit to that. No guilty because reporter the sisters were accused of embezzling more than a mall dollars from the tv cook and her former husband, charles saatchi. Any point you bought anything on the credit cards you possibly retrospectively would think i shouldnt have maybe purchased that . No. No. What were the ground rules . There were no ground rules. It was freedom, you know, not because of her drug use or we want her to be punished. Reporter but they say they respect nigellas explosive admission in court. I think she was very brave to do so and good for her for doing so but i didnt feel guilty. Reporter the threeweek trial unleashed some sordid details about nigellas lifestyle and crumbling marriage. Speaking on Good Morning America last week ahead of the relaunch of the abc show the taste, nigella said shes taking it all in her stride. Did you feel like you were on trial . Well, i did, and ive eaten a lot of chocolate over christmas and into the new year. Reporter in the end the sisters believe in the courts of public opinion, nigella came out on top. I think maybe we won the court case but definitely she had the most support from the public and shes well loved and she will always be loved. Reporter well, the sisters say after their difficult ordeal theyre trying to get on with their lives and put the trial behind them. We reached out to nigellas management who tell abc news we wont be commenting. George . Okay, a lot to talk about there. Thanks very much. Lets bring in dan abrams. Some comment there at the end. They believe that nigella won in the court of public opinion. I mean theyre saying she had all the public support. Why wouldnt she . She wasnt accused of a crime and she had to get up there on the stand and confess to drug use and talk about all these ugly parts of her life. Well, of course people are going to feel bad for Nigella Lawson whether shes a celebrity or not. Theyre unapologetic about bringing it up. Did they need it for their defense . They could have argued a defense without it. But, you know, once youre going to defend yourself in a case like this where your freedom is on the line you try to throw everything you can at the case and this would have been something where if the judge wanted to exclude it, the judge could have said were not going to allow these sort of allegations, but, look, that was part of the defense but lets be clear here no matter if you think that they stole this money or they were allowed to use this money, i dont think anyone is suggesting they earned this money. And as a result, they have to be very careful what they say and how they say it. Their legal troubles may not be over. Thats right because if it is determined it was actually a gift, there could be gift taxes to deal with. So this investigation may not be over, although the authorities by calling it a gift would have to be conceding that there was no wrongdoing and that they actually did give it to them so a lot of confusing but ongoing issues. Okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. No extra points there. George, thanks. To a Big Development in the case of the utah doctor convicted of killing his wife in the bathtub of their home.

These days im living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. At first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, could i up my game . My doctor told me about eliquis. And three Important Reasons to take eliquis instead. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three. Unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Ive got three Important Reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

The magazine made it easier to keep that new years resolution to get healthy. Its panel of Health Experts ranked 32 diets and heres what it found. Its the most popular time of the year to start a new diet, but which one will work best for you . This morning, u. S. News world report is breaking down the best diets of 2014. We have everything from the best diets overall to the best weight loss diets to the best diets for heart health and for diabetes. Reporter topping the list of the best plantbased diets, the mediterranean diet, which focuses on lots of fruit, vegties and fish and, best of all, you can enjoy that glass of wine. Youre going to need to be a lot more selfconscious of how many calories youre consuming. They dont measure it out. Reporter ranking best diet for weight loss, the ever popular Weight Watchers, which uses the points system and doesnt restrict any food groups. Weight watchers works by getting your money and theyre also going to base the points off things that will make you fuller longer. Reporter and topping the list for the fourth year in a row as the best overall diet, the dash diet, which includes portion control and balancing proteins and carbs. Its realistic, and what the creator of this diet did was provide lots and lots of options. Reporter and an important thing to keep in mind if you find yourself hitting a bump in your resolution road stay motivated and stay motivated about being educated. A little exercise and that actually is perfect for my tag. Experts say you wont get far if youre also not exercising regularly with these diet plans so you just shouldnt run in this thats dangerous. All these best diets and things like that, we want to know the pros and cons. Thats why well bring in rich besser to talk about that. So lets talk about the top one, the pros and cons of that one. So part leads into the confusion of what we mean when we say diet. Some people mean a way to lose weight. Other, its just an approach to eating like we talked about yesterday. So, the dash diet, which is the number one diet, was designed to control Blood Pressure and balanced diet. Cut back on red meat, cut back on fatty, sweetened things. Its a great approach to life and to health. Youre not going to lose weight unless you really add into that portion control. They rated Weight Watchers the best. Yeah, in terms of weight loss, Weight Watchers is the way to go. Its a strict system. And if you keep to it, they say you will lose two pounds a week eating what you want, but its eating what you want but its reducing the size so theres points to different foods. If you stick to that, it has shown to be very effective. Works really well. Calories in, calories out. The hard thing is staying with it for years and years and years. All right. How about the best heart healthy diet. For healthy hearts, they rated the ornish diet, dean ornish. It cuts back on fat in a really, really big way and adds in a lot of soy, vegetables, fruits, yoga, meditation, its a whole lifestyle approach. Works great but may be hard to stick to. And you said you love the mediterranean. I do. You know, weve talked about this a lot. The mediterranean diet has been george is raising his hand. Mediterranean, you know, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy nuts and oils. You wont lose weight on that, again, unless you add in portion control. Lots of fish. Yeah. Sounds like a great and you can have wine. You can have wine. The point that i like about it if you want a diet thats going to work for you, it has to be close to how you normally eat and i kind of eat the mediterranean way anyway. And look at you. Huh . Yeah. But its also its exercise, and portion control but the mediterranean diet, what i like is it tastes so good. It really does, so pick something thats close to how you currently eat that you can live with, and that will be the right diet. Excellent. Stick with it. Dont give up. Have a partner. Tell somebody youre going to do it, and that can help too. Thanks, rich. All right. Now we turn to kaley cuocos wedding to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting.

Coming up, Troian Bellisario, one of those stars of the hugely popular abc family show, Pretty Little Liars, a suspenseful drama about four High School Girls entangled in the mystery of a missing classmate. Shes dealing with her own permanent drama opening up about an eating disorder and sat down with abbie boudreau. Reporter her character Spencer Hastings is no stranger to drama on abc familys hit show, Pretty Little Liars. But this morning, 28yearold Troian Bellisario is revealing the reallife demons she faced as a teenager suffering from an eating disorder and cutting herself. What were some of the struggles you went through when you were a teenager . What i was dealing with was still trying to fit into the mold of what i thought everybody else wanted me to be. I went down a very, very dangerous path and i honestly believe i wouldnt really be here today if it werent for a number of incredible people, friends and family. Reporter bell saar row echoes that sentiment in seventeen saying her family and friends staged an intervention after they read they are journal. For the first time i got to sit across from my parents and say, im angry at you and i have a blackness sign side of me and im raging right now and i cant ham this. Reporter though she wont go into more detail about her past she does say she identifies with her onscreen character in Pretty Little Liars. She is a perfectionist. The show is intense and i would say like spencer is the intensity of the intense. Reporter bellisario promises nothing short of an intense fifth season. The show about four High School Girls entangled in the mystery of a missing classmate airs tonight on abc family. I wonder if she spoke to anyone besides us. Like her brother. Maybe swe should be talking to jason. No, we all agreed to not tell anyone. Whoever killed her is still around. What do we expect this season . Because spencer is the detective of the group she takes it upon herself to bring back alison and what she finds is that shes, in fact, more complicit with alisons disappearance. Did you miss me . Outside of the hit tv show bellisario wrote, produced and starred in a short film, exiles, a modern twist on romeo and juliet. And im out here starving. Reporter but its her costars on Pretty Little Liars who she says have become her second family. We are just always so supportive of each other. My partners in crime, my sisters and my adorable, lovable friends. Reporter are you comfortable in your own skin now . No way. Reporter so just one day at a time. Yeah, just one day daat a ti. We appreciate troian all the best. See the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars tonight, 8 00 central on abc family. Coming up next on gma, takes a two shot, James Carville and mary matalin here to talk i am back with James Carville and mary matalin married for more than two decades debating the whole way out with a new memoir, lo love war. You guys have written a lot of books. Mostly political. This one kind of different. No, no, no. Writing books is like giving birth without an epidural and so but the reason i wanted to do this one which is the second one in 20 years i wrote one for the girls because of what we were able to do, help do in new orleans and we wanted to share that story and give some advice on how to have a happy marriage. By the way, im happy to see you not on a sunday, george. Listen i was there at the beginning when you guys were just getting to the and a lot of people thought it wouldnt work but more than two decades who knows. I guess a guy jumps off. 20 stories. So far so good. You know. Thank you. Thanks for that vote of confidence. But also it is a love letter to new orleans. It is. But, you know, it was fun and if you look back on 20 year, the things that we were in the middle of from the clinton troubles, the 2000 election, 9 11, the katrina recovery, it was and it was a lot of believe it or not it was a lot of fun writing this book, i thought. It really was. Yes. It was like giving birth with an epidural actually. Two girls. Theres not allowed to talk or reveal very much about ourselves. Only a little teenyweeny as im sure i totally get it but youre kind of open about the times with various events threatened permanent separation. What were the big ones . I didnt mean divorce. I just meant cold what do you call that shared destruction from iraq and when you went back to the white house. Going baaing to the white house which turned out to be okay, but the worst and remains the worst is the animal kingdom, the animals are my friends. James lack of love for the animal kingdom. Big understatement. Just because i wear wraps on my shoulders when i cook i dont know what is the issue with this. Im a big believer in just kick the can down the road. Dont confront issues, just let it go. I think thats you get mad about something, you go confront it and say a bunch of stupid stuff you regret. If you go solid for three weeks, at least you havent said anything they can throw back at your face. From James Carville. The many wonderful, brilliant things he said you never get in trouble for something you didnt say so thank you for but he has said hes wanted to start my ca cats on fire we love animals, peta.
