Because the demo was like its not unusual we had to have something more. But if i ever find that you change its the most important record that changed my life.

Leave that pop stuff alone. You have to come with me. I said frank, i love e all. I do. That worked for you, but sometimes it worked against you too. People dont know where to put you. Exactly.

Im basically a 50s rock n roll singer. Shes a lady he may not be in the hall yet, but sir tom jones has been a member of an even more exclusive club.

Harry was added later when harry bought it after the first guy went broke. Probably from shipping that bar toparis. This obviously american bar has a singular historic distinction. Back in the 1920s, a bartender mixed and salt and pepper. I love the way he does this. Dont forget the vodka and to maidto imato juice. This is where the bloody mary was born. Its a brunch staple for when you need hair of the dog. Prohibition closed bars in the United States, some american bartenders came looking for work. They brought a new idea to the french. Cocktails. Mixed drinks to a country used to drinking wine. At the same time paris was a refuge for a lot of russians escaping the communist revolution back home. They brought this stuff called vodka. There a lot of different versions. The most widely accepted is a barman found vodka too bland. He added tomato juices and as this family from massachusetts can attest to. Perfectly spiced. Its bloody because of the tomato juice and mary is believed to be someones girlfriend. After a few, who remembers the details. Its a versatile drink that inspires many interpretations like at a Mexican Restaurant its made with tequila. A bloody maria. At a sake bar, its made with sake and wasabi. Harrys is still owned by the family and last year they sold more than 12,000 bloody marys. Everyone wanted to try one at harrys bar. Dont you . Thats the overnight news for this wednesday.

What he would do by executive action, without congress, when the memories of these victims, 20 first graders from newtown, connecticut, 6 6r 7 years old, choked mr. Obama in n d sentence. Every time i think about those kids, it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of chicago every day. There have been 13 mass killings during the obama presidency. Each time republicans voted against gun legislation. But last month, after san bernardino, mr. Obama decided to act on his n. Given the limits of his power, his actions today are not sweeping. The most significant simply expands background checks for gun sales online or at gun shows. Currently about 40 of sales have no background checks at all. Chief Legal Correspondent jan and from every family who never imagined their loved ones live would be taken from their lives by a gun. Reporter it was an emotional appeal. Maybe we cant save everybody, but we can save some. Reporter and a political call to action. So the gun lobby may be Holding Congress hostage right now,w,ut they cannot hold america hostage. We do not have to accept this is the price of freedom. Reporter the president repeatedly called the executive actions common sense steps that respected the Second Amendment and he expressed solidarity with the people who surrounded him at the white house a father who lost a 7yearold, the daughters of a pastor at a Charleston Church, and a congresswoman nearly killed after being shot in the head. The right to worship freely and safely, that right was denied to christians in charleston, south carolina. And that was denied jews in and that was denied muslims in chapel hill. And seikhs in oak creek. They have right, too. Reporter the directors focus largely on a system of background checks, including requiring all gun dealers, even those who sell firearms at gun shows and on the internet to be licensed and conduct background checks, improving the Current System by hiring more investigators to make background checks more efficient and effective, and increasing Mental Health treatment and reporting to the background check system. Although the issue of stricter gun lala remains highly divisive, 92 of americans support background checks. But the president in the wake of the sandy hook shootings failed to get legislation through congress that would have expanded them. Today he says he h wants voters to kick ardent gun rights supporters out of office. The Reason Congress blocks laws is because they want to win elections. If youake it hard for them to win elections, if you block those laws, theyll change course, i promise you. Now the president could face constitutional challenges that these actions exceed his president ial authority. But the nra in a statement, scsct, indicated iay hold off, saying these actctns dont really appear to change anything. And theyre simply political theatre. January crawford at the white house.

Its not good enough to say i dont like what youre proposing. Then bring forward your own proposals, but for gods sake, do something. Many Congressional Democrats applauded the presesents actions today, but they dont control congress, and if he wants more money for things like additional atf agents, hes going to have to win over some republicans. And right now, scott, that seems unlikely. Nancy, thank you. We want to note that demand for guns is soaring. The fbi says it conducted a record 23 million b bkground checks last year. Mr. Obama also cited a hero in the battle against gun violence. An 18yearold who found himself xavion was a sof fore in knoxville, tennessee.

This was an old bar that had been shipped to paris. Harry bought it after the first guy went broke. From shipping that bar to paris. Anyway, this obvious american bar has a singular, one might even say historic distinction. Back in the 1920s, a bartender here mixed worcester sauce with this, look. Dont forget the vodka. And tomato juice. Thats key. Harrys is where the bloody mary was born. The bloody mary, its a brunch staple for when you need some of the hair of the dog. Well its a bloody mary morning in the 1920s as prohibition closed bars in the United States, some american bartenders came to france looking for work. They brought a new idea to the french, cocktails, mixed drinks, to a country used to drinking wine. At the same time, paris was a refuge for a lot of russians escaping the communist revolution back home. And they brought thisew stuff called vodka. Now, there are a lot of different versions of how the drink was created. The most widely accted is that a barman at harrys found vodka too bland. So he added tomato juice and spices to give it some flavor, massachusetts can attest to. Very good. Perfectly spiced. Its bloody because of the tomato juice. And mary is believed to have been someones girl friend. But after a few of these, who remembers the details. Its a versatile drink that inspires many interpretations. At a Mexican Restaurant, its made with tequila. Blood by maria. At a sake bar, its made with a japapase vodka and wasabe. Ree generations later, harry is still owned by the same family, and they claim that last year, they told more than 12,000 bloody marys. Bloody mary at the bar. With silence more powerful than words.

What he would do by executive action without congress when the memories of these victims, 20 first graders from newtown, connecticut, 6 or 7 years old choked mr. Obama in midsentence. Every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of chicago every day. There have been 13 mass killings during the obama presidency, each time republicans voted against gun legislation. Last month after san bernardino, mr. Obama decided to act on his. Given the limits of his power, his actions are not sweeping. The most significant expands background checks for gun sales online or atat gun shows. Currently about 40 of sales have no background checks at all. Chief Legal Correspondent jan from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun. It was an emotional appeal. We maybe cantave everybody, but we can save some. A political call to action. The gun lobby may be holding them hostage, but they cannot hold americans. We do not have to accept this. The president repeatedly called the executive actions common sense steps that respected the Second Amendment and expressed solidarity with the people who surrounund him on the the white house. A father who lost a 7yearold, the daughters of the pastor at a Charleston Church and a congresswoman nearly killed after being shot in the head. Its our right to worship freely and safely.

If you make it hard for them to win and they block the laws, they will change course, i promise you. Now the president could face constitutional challenges that these actions exceed his president ial authority. The nra in a statement indicated it may hold off as saying these actions dont really appear to change anything and are simply political theater. Jan crawford at the white thank you. If it is political theater, republican president ial candidates played the president s proposals as high drama today. Nancy was in the audience. Obama wants your guns. That was the warning on the president ial Campaign Website for sex as senator cruz on a mock up of the president in military garb. Cruzs fellow candidate marco rubio called the plan unconstitutional.

The texas republican whose subcommittee controls funding for the department of justice threatened to cut the purse strings. He overstepped authority and i will take action to restrain him. I will not wait for a court order or a lawsuit. The Second Amendment rights are too precious. The nra reacted with aail of tweets in realtime. Saying president obamas executive orders will do nothing to improve public safety. The group issued this warning to any lawmakers thinking of siding with the president. Fyi, all nra grades are subject to change. That is what i have come to expect. This congresswoman is a democrat whose district includes students and teachers were gunned down in 2o 12. What do you say to those who said he doesnt have the right to take action . Its not good enough. Then bring forward your own proposals, but for gods sake do something they dont control congress and if he wants more money for things like additional atf agents, he will have to win over republicans and right now, scott, that seems unlikely. Nancy, thank you. We want to note that demand for guns is soaring. The fbi said it conducted a record 23 million background checks last year.

An emotional president obama announced that it is surrounded by family members of those killed by family members. On capitol hill they promise a court fight and vow to undo the president s actions if and when they retake the white house. Jan crawford reports. Every family who never imagined their loved one would be taken by a bullet from a gun. We maybe cant save everybody, but we can save some. A had political call to action. The gun lobby may be Holding Congress hostage, but we do not have to accept this. The president called the actions commence sense steps that helped the Second Amendment and expressed solidarity with the people who surrounded him at the white house. A father who lost a 7yearold and the daughters at the church and a congresswoman nearly killed after being shot in the head. The right to worship freely and safely. That right was denied to christians in charleston, south carolina. That was denied jews in kansas city and denied muslim this is chapel hill and sikhs in oak creek. They had rights too. The direct is focused on the including requiring all gun dealers, even though who sell firearms at gun shows and the internet to be license and conduct background checks and improving the system by hiring more investigateors to make them more efficient and effective. Increasing the treatment and r79ing to the background check system. The issue of stricter laws remaining divicive 92 of americans support background checks. The president in the wake of the sandy hook shootings failed to get legislation through congress that would expand them. He wants voters to kick gun rights supporters out of office. This is not that complicated. The Reason Congress blocks laws is because they want to win elections. If you make it hard for them to win an election if they block the laws, they will change course. I promise you. Constitutional challenges that these actions exceed his president ial authority. But the nra in a statement indicated it may hold off saying the actions doesnt appear to change anything and are simply political theater. Jan crawford, cbs news, the white house. The president s new gun control initiatives are all the talk on the campaign trail. Hillary clinton called the actions a crucial step forward on gun violence. Republican ted cruz said they are not worth the paper they are written on. Major garrett is in manchester where five canned states stumped for votes. The battle kreechreached a turning point. They r turning on each other in tv ads. Bill clinton tried to deflect the tougher rhetoric from donald trump telling voters he is just a happy grandfather who not i do not believe in my lifetime anybody has run for this job at a moment of great experience who was Better Qualified by knowledge, experience, and temperament to do what needs to be done now to restore prosperity. In new hampshire, the Clinton Family made his first solo visit on his wifes behalf. The 42nd president credits the state for the campaigns revival in 1992. The former president picked up where he left off from hillarys primary victory in the granite state. I would say every american should have a right to meet at least one president in their lifetime. Every american. In new hampshire, your odds go up. Hillary clinton continued her campaign turning over a new leaf. I will let him live in his donald trump was battling his rivals, needling ted cruz for copying immigration plans. He said we will build a wall. He is a politician so he would not know where to start. Dont engage in the mud slinging and the games. They made a detour to smack marco rubio as a threat. I know i have a debate, but i have to get this fantasy football thing right. The thread to rubio now with new hampshire. Common core obamacare and medicate expanding president is enough. He took heat for showing water crossers in morocco discussing illegal immigration in america. If that was video footage, its the display of what our country is going to look like. We are a dumpingground. Republicans battling the Trump Campaign said it was unlikely that moroccan video details for Trump Supporters are much less important than a message of strength in the face of a perceived danger. One other thing is it doesnt attack republicans. Only the president and Hillary Clinton. The militia men occupying a Wildlife Office in oregon didnt come prepared for a long siege. It started out as a protest against the arrest of two ranchers for setting fires and now the occupiers have taken to facebook asking for snacks and even clean socks. John black stone has the latest. There was not a single Law Enforcement officer to be seen for miles. The sheriff david ward had a message for those occupying it. You said you were here to help the citizens. That help ended when a peaceful protest became an armed occupation. They turned themselves in. The group said they have no plans to leave. They even thoughed us around the com bound they took over. How many people are living here in. They refused to say how many joined the group they call citizens for constitutional freedom. The leader tweeted we have no intentions of using force upon anyone, but if forces used against us, we will defend ourselves. They are demanding an inquiry of why they ordered back to prison for setting fires on federal land after they already served prison time. It has been left to us to decide whether we allow these things to go on or whether we make a stand so they will not happen to other people across this country.

The British Parliament is up this arms over reports that the latest murderous spokesman for the Islamic State was arrested on terror related offenses times. He was released each time and by the time the British Government sent a letter ordering him to surrender his passport, he was on the way to syria. We have a report from london. Please be to allah. He was raised a hindu and converted to islam as a young man. He joined a band radical group led by the extremists. In 2014 he was arrested on suspicion of encouraging terrorism, but released for lack a break for syria and joined isis, tweeting what a shoddy Security System britain must have to allow me to breeze through europe to the Islamic State. Later using his isis name, he posted a photo of himself holding a gun and his fifth child. In the recent isis video that apparently shows the execution of five men, the man is masked. In it he taunts the British Government. How strange it is that a leader of a small island his sister cant be sure the man is her brother. I think its hard to say given what i have seen. I am not entirely convinced that it is. My honest opinion is that it might not be. Many others who knew him think it probably is. One of the hundreds of british citizens now in syria including the end of the voideo, he is thought to be about four years old. To establish the identity of that masked man conclusively, services are going to examine as much as they can of his face behind the task and compare his voice with the samples they have on file. This years powerful el nino is bringing drenching rain up and down the california coast, but so far done little to end the fouryear long drought. 90 of california is suffering under severe drought conditions.

There is a lot of red on the screen which is a sign that were over an area that is in trouble. Carnegie airborne observatory. His lab has high tech lasers that scan 15 acres of forest a second. Its like having xray vision that produces vivid images of the health of the trees. Our system is seeing the trees that are stressed. The Cutting Edge Technology funded in part by avatar director James Cameron creates oneofakind 3d maps. The red areas on this map are severely stressed. Blue areas are healthier. It reads how much moister is in each tree . The measurement is focused on how much water is in the foliage itself. Its like getting a blood test and one of the key indicators. The data released this week by his team shows californias forests are in very bad shape. 58 Million Trees are severely stressed and could die. Seen measurable water says loss since 2011. The drought impacted nearly one billion trees . California . Thats correct. The u. S. Forest service has more than 29 Million Trees have already died. Trees that have totally succumbed.

The scientists are hoping that will finally turn the golden state a bit more green. Ben tracy, sacramento. Environmental activists are plotting a new law that outlaws how these particles are polluting our lakes and rivers. Its known as the mikery bead free waters act. It is designed to eliminate bits of plastic from products many of us use every day. They are found in many health and Beauty Products like soap, body skrup and toothpaste. They are used to add polish. No bigger than a grain of salt, they are a big person for environmental scientists. They say the tiny particles are a harmful source to lake and ocean pollution.

A single product can contain up to 300,000 nonbiodegradable beads and in september california banned the sales of products containing microbeads. They are thrilled california is following the lead. Its significant because you will have 50 states doing the same thing. I have no doubt this is going to spread now to other countries. The longer we have these pollutants in the environment, the harder it is to take action to effectively clean up after them. The law passed surprisingly quickly, but its not immediate.

He said we leave that to frank. We. He said we. I thought wow. Elvis is putting me in the same. That was a big compliment to me. I had been tucking to frank he would say you have a great chance. Leave that pop stuff alone. You have to come with me. I said frank, i love it all. I do. That worked for you, but sometimes it worked against you too. People dont know where to put you. Exactly.

Take the bloody mary. We found the birth place in paris. This is harrys new york bar in paris. Its called new york because it really was a bar in new york that the original owner had dismantled and shipped to paris a little over 100 years ago. Its an old bar since the 19th century. Harry was added later when harry bought it after the first guy went broke. Probably from shipping that bar to paris. This obviously american bar has a singular historic distinction. Back in the 1920s, a bartender mixed and salt and pepper. I love the way he does this. Dont forget the vodka and to maidto imato juice. This is where the bloody mary was born. Its a brunch staple for when you need hair of the dog. Prohibition closed bars in the United States, some american bartenders came looking for work. They brought a new idea to the french. Cocktails. Mixed drinks to a country used to drinking wine. At the same time paris was a refuge for a lot of russians escaping the communist revolution back home. They brought this stuff called vodka.

Its bloody because of the tomato juice and mary is believed to be someones girlfriend. After a few, who remembers the details. Its a versatile drink that inspires many interpretations like at a Mexican Restaurant its made with tequila. A bloody maria. At a sake bar, its made with sake and wasabi.

With silence more powerful than words, the president mourns victims of gun violence and takes action to stop it. Also tonight, a rolling disaster. Mississippi floodwaters swallow up more of the heartland. A popular documentary about a convicted killer brings demands for his freedom. This has been on of the biggest entertainment campaigns weve ever seen on the flat form. And a teacher of the year in the video of the week. It was a sight we rarely see, tears from the most powerful man in the world, powerless to get the United States congress to tighten gun control laws. What he would do by executive action, without congress, when the memories of these victims, 20 first graders from newtown, connecticut, 6 or 7 years old, choked mr. Obama in mid sentence. Every time i think about those kids, it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of chicago every day. There have been 13 mass killings during the obama presidency. Each time republicans voted against gun legislation. But last month, after san bernardino, mr. Obama decided to act on his own. Given the limits of his power, his actions today are not sweeping. The most significant simply expands background checks for gun sales online or at gun shows. Currently about 40 of sales have no background checks at all. Chief Legal Correspondent jan and from every family who never imagined their loved ones live would be taken from their lives by a gun. Reporter it was an emotional appeal. Maybe we cant save everybody, but we can save some. Reporter and a political call to action. So the gun lobby may be Holding Congress hostage right now, but they cannot hold america hostage. We do not have to accept this is the price of freedom. Reporter the president repeatedly called the executive actions common sense steps that respected the Second Amendment and he expressed solidarity with the people who surrounded him at the white house a father who lost a 7yearold, the daughters of a pastor at a charleston nearly killed after being shot in the head. The right to worship freely denied to christians in charleston, south carolina. And that was denied muslims in chapel hill. And seikhs in oak creek. They have right, too. Reporter the directors focus largely on a system of background checks, including requiring all gun dealers, even those who sell firearms at gun shows and on the internet to be licensed and conduct background checks, improving the Current System by hiring more investigators to make background checks more efficient and effective, and increasing Mental Health treatment and reporting to the background check system. Although the issue of stricter gun laws remains highly divisive, 92 of americans support background checks. But the president in the wake of the sandy hook shootings failed to get legislation through congress that would have expanded them. Today he says he h wants voters to kick ardent gun rights supporters out of office. This is not that complicated. Is because they want to win elections. If you make it hard for them to win elections, if you block those laws, theyll change course, i promise you. Now the president could face constitutional challenges that these actions exceed his president ial authority. But the nra in a statement, scott, indicated it may hold off, saying these actions dont really appear to change anything. And theyre simply political theatre. January crawford at the white house. If it is political theatre, the candidates played the president s proposals as high drama today. Nancy cortis was in the audience today. Reporter marco rubio called the president s plan unconstitutional. Barack obama is obsessed with undermining the Second Amendment. Accused mr. Obama of a dangerous level of executive overreach. A texas republican who is on a committee that controls spending threatened to cut the purse springs. He overstepped his authority. I will take immediate action to restrain him. Im not going to wait for a lawsuit. Reporter there was a hail of tweets in real time say, president obamas executive orders will do nothing for public safety. They issued this warning for any lawmakers lawmakers siding with president obama. All nra grades can change. This is a democrat whose connecticut district includes sandy hook elementary, where 20 children and six adults were what do you say to republicans who argue the president just doesnt have the constitutional right to take these actions. Its not good enough to say i dont like what youre proposing. Then bring forward your own proposals, but for gods sake, do something. Many Congressional Democrats applauded the president s actions today, but they dont control congress, and if he wants more money for things like additional atf agents, hes going to have to win over some republicans. And right now, scott, that seems unlikely. Nancy, thank you. We want to note that demand for guns is soaring. The fbi says it conducted a record 23 million background checks last year. Mr. Obama also cited a hero in the battle against gun violence. An 18yearold who found himself xavion was a sof fore in knoxville, tennessee. He played football, beloved by his classmates and his teachers. The week before christmas, he headed to a friends house to play video games. He wasnt in the wrong place at the wrong time. He hadnt made a bad decision. He was exactly where any other kid would be, your kid. My kids. And then gunmen started firing. Xavion, who was in high school hadnt even gotten started in life. He doe on top of three girls to shield them from the bullets. And he was shot in the head. He gave his life to save theirs, an act of hero wichl, a lot bigger than anything we should expect from a 15yearold. 2k3wr5e9er love hath no man than this, than a man who lays down almost sixty million americans are affected by mental illness.

In another big story today, floodwaters are reseeding along some parts of the mississippi, but rising in others. Tonight, 23 illinois counties have been declared disaster areas.
