And speaking of stars, some stars on the runway are coming under fire for being too thin. France of course you know is cracking down on that. Benching excessively thin models. Spain, italy, and israel have similar laws. And now Public Health advocates are calling for action here in the u. S. Reporter they are the epitome of glamour. The models that define style and beauty. But now the fashion industry is under fire from critics who say that most models are dangerously thin. The modeling industry definitely encourages women, often explicitly so, to maintain extremely thin frames. Reporter in a strong new editorial from the american journal of Public Health, experts and eating disorder professionals say the industry body standard is hazardous and encouraging problems like eating disorders and body dysmorphia. They write, runway models are by definition and professional necessity starving to death. Theyre urging the u. S. To regulate and set a standard bmi a work model must meet. Just last week france passed such a law, requiring models to have a doctors note proving that they are healthy. We have statistics such as 70 of adolescents report that they define the ideal body image as being what they see in fashion magazines. Reporter record says the average model who makes it big on the International Stage has a bmi of 14, two points below the World Health Organizations definition of starvation. She wants the u. S.

Earlier in the day producers said on the jim rome show, i definitely want him back and i would hate to see him not come back. And another report from e. T. Cites a source claiming harvey only went to the beginning of rehearsals, missing the last hour. Cant skip out. If only he could host the oscars and finally leo dicaprio could win an oscar. Oh. Wouldnt it be nice for a minute . So a lot of people arent really surprised this happened. Im thinking theres a conspiracy. Im joining that whole crew of folks intentional . Its kind of weird. The timing was a little awkward. They have new owners. Its on fox. You know, it just timings a little odd. One conspiracy theory. Yes. And next, hollywoods most overpaid actor of the year. According to forbes, that would be johnny depp. Remember him . Well, theyve calculated for every one dollar depp was paid he has only returned 1. 20. His film mortdecai, you know that one, was a huge flop. Black mass did better but fell outside the period forbes analyzed.

Incredible images. This time of year a care package can mean many Different Things to many people but you might not know that the tradition started 70 years ago this month. Who knew . And now the original care package has been reinvented to help Syrian Refugees so they can make it through their winters. Globe Tv Correspondent mike cerre has the story. I was one of the very first care package recipients. And having just grown up and not having had any food, we were just emaciated. I mean, really thin. Reporter Renata Senter remembers the first care packages of powdered eggs, corned beef and fruit preserves she received as a young german refugee at the end of world war ii. As if they were manna from heaven. When i came home to my mother and showed her this, i said the americans did this. It left such an imprint. How americans can do this to the enemy. You know, i just said, wow. Reporter for a 10 donation to care back in december 1945 americans could buy and ship boxes of surplus army rations to postwar europe that could feed ten people during one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the 20th century. The care package to me is an icon of american generosity. It sort of encapsulates the impulse to do something directly for one person to help another person. Reporter Flash Forward to the greatest refugee crisis in europe and the middle east since world war ii. More than 4 million displaced people and counting. The majority of them without any source of income living on their own outside of traditional refugee camps. And its winter. This could be described as a new care package. Its an electronic voucher. Reporter the food vouchers work like any other debit card but have a monthly limit per family and can only be used to buy food, hygiene, and household essentials. New credit is added monthly with funding from the u. N. And International Aid organizations. Its faster, better, and cheaper for delivering essential food and clothing than shipping, storing, and delivering care packages. From syria. Reporter cares relief workers in turkey, many of them Syrian Refugees themselves, make sure the voucher cards get to the neediest. Like this extended family of 13, living in an abandoned warehouse just across the Turkish Border from syria. Care is also giving families a onetime winterization voucher card to buy heaters and coats and blankets to get them through this winter. By getting the voucher rather than getting a set kit of inkind donations, it enables the family to choose whats right for them and to meet their own needs better. Reporter these food vouchers started off with a value of 30 per month per person until a shortfall in International Funding forced the u. N. To twitter nearly a quarter million refugees their vouchers are being cut off. Today in turkey this voucher is worth about 18 per month per person. That means 60 cents a day for food. World spends more on bubble gum than we do on our broader humanitarian responses. We have a historic moment in time, and in another generation we want to look back and we want to be able to say we were as generous at this moment in time as we were, for instance, after world war ii. Reporter like the original, these new care packages still depend on public donations. On the turkeysyria border mike cerre reporting for abc news. I like the fact that it doesnt feel like a handout, that theyre able to pick what they want to make a difference in their lives and families. We should point out it really is a big need there because you have about 2 million registered Syrian Refugees living in turkey alone. 4. 3 and thats only the documented ones. Exactly. They expect significantly more than that undocumented. So we should mention that care usa has set up a designated fund for its syrian refugee program. My. Care. Com. Dot org. Excuse me. Dot org.

The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. Viola davis is proof that talent really does win out in the end. Reporter off the stage and field there were so many heroes among us. The families of the Charleston Church shooting victims taught us heroism comes from the heart when there is room for forgiveness.

But i forgive you. We shall they taught us a lesson, didnt they . On how to live on and not let the killer claim even more lives, the lives of the living. Reporter in a year with so much darkness a beautiful lesson from all of these heroes on how to view the world. That was one of my favorite moments, the u. S. Womens soccer team winning.

Donald trump says the word that he used to describe Hillary Clintons primary defeat in 2008 is not offensive. Trump says what he meant by using the word was that clinton was beaten badly. At the campaign yesterday in iowa clinton said, we shouldnt let anybody bully his way to the presidency. Its your voice, your vote. Abcs bazi kanani has more.

Well, you know, the campaigns are kind of on pause mode because the holidays are coming up. So this is kind of one of the last things that are lingering out there. Yeah. And its interesting, though, she points out that poll saying that 50 of americans would be embarrassed if he became president. But a majority of republicans still would not be embarrassed if he became president. So those numbers are a little skewed i guess there. There are a lot of republicans who also feel like he doesnt necessarily represent the conservative movement. There was an interesting poll looking at the breakdown of economics and how it impacts people who support trump. It found that those who were highly educated, maybe had a college degree, tended to support other republicans like ted cruz or jeb bush or marco rubio but people without a degree were more likely to support trump. That said, on another note, about 30 of americans in that same poll said theyd be embarrassed if Hillary Clinton became president. There you go.

At the time musk needles bezos, tweeting congratulations but adding there is a difference between space and orbit.

And speaking of stars, some stars on the runway are coming under fire for being too thin. France of course you know is cracking down on that. Benching excessively thin models. Spain, italy, and israel have similar laws. And now Public Health advocates are calling for action here in the u. S. Reporter they are the epitome of glamour. The models that define style and beauty. But now the fashion industry is under fire from critics who say that most models are dangerously thin. The modeling industry definitely encourages women, often explicitly so, to maintain extremely thin frames. Reporter in a strong new editorial from the american journal of Public Health, experts and eating disorder professionals say the industry body standard is hazardous and encouraging problems like eating disorders and body dysmorphia. They write, runway models are by definition and professional necessity starving to death. Theyre urging the u. S. To regulate and set a standard bmi a work model must meet. Just last week france passed such a law, requiring models to have a doctors note proving that they are healthy. We have statistics such as 70 of adolescents report that they define the ideal body image as being what they see in fashion magazines. Reporter record says the average model who makes it big on the International Stage has a bmi of 14, two points below the World Health Organizations definition of starvation. She wants the u. S. Occupational safety and Health Administration to require all models to have a bmi of 18 and above. A bmi of 14 or below is not naturally skinny. You are at great risk at any time of the day for cardiac arrest. People dont realize just how being so thin can really affect your health overall.

You are Miss Universe. According to entertainment tonight harvey signed a multiyear contract to host the pageant just days before the live event where harvey mistakenly announced the wrong winner. Earlier in the day producers said on the jim rome show, i definitely want him back and i would hate to see him not come back. And another report from e. T. Cites a source claiming harvey only went to the beginning of rehearsals, missing the last hour. Cant skip out. If only he could host the oscars and finally leo dicaprio could win an oscar. Oh. Wouldnt it be nice for a minute . So a lot of people arent really surprised this happened. Im thinking theres a conspiracy. Im joining that whole crew of folks intentional . Its kind of weird. The timing was a little awkward. They have new owners. Its on fox. You know, it just timings a little odd. One conspiracy theory. Yes. And next, hollywoods most overpaid actor of the year. According to forbes, that would be johnny depp. Remember him . Well, theyve calculated for every one dollar depp was paid he has only returned 1. 20. His film mortdecai, you know that one, was a huge flop. Black mass did better but fell outside the period forbes analyzed. And when it comes to value, forbes found that chris evans offers the most bang for the buck at the box office. The captain america star returned on average of 181 for every 1 he was paid. Thats a lot. Its got to be the abs. Well, next a tough question. Nicki minaj or drake . In what for . Ill go with nicki. Okay. An artist looking for a boost in listens.

And follows a group of College Baseball players. And like dazed freshmen get hazed and the characters also get deep. What am i thinking about . Baseball. Having a tail. Cereal. Sharks. Sharks have tails. Good point. Wish i had a tail. Yeah. That would be awesome. That really is deep. Far out, man. The movie, by the way, is set for release in april next year. Will you go see it .
