This morning, First Lady Michelle Obama will join the fda to announce plans to make major changes in food labels. The governor unveiled two proposals overnight. Together, they mark the first overhaul in two decades. The move is designed to address the reality of how americans eat. Lisa young is a nutritionist, the author of the portion teller plan, and adjunct professor at new york university. Welcome. Nice to be here. So whats the most important change . I think the most important change is that theyve made the serving sizes more realistic and the calories are going to be prominently displayed. Mmhmm. Go ahead. I was going to say the other important change, too, is sugar, right . Yes. Separating out and adding a column for added sugar, so you know where you have to watch. Mmhmm. These have not been changed in 20 years, food labels. Do you think it will make a dent . I think it absolutely can make a dent, because were eating more than we used to eat. Obesity is a big problem, and we need to really cut to the chase and focus on the things that really matter. Calories, added sugar, serving sizes. They seem the labels seem to emphasize calories over fat. Yes. Yes. Because some fats are good. And having percent calories from fat just takes away from the real issue. How many calories are in this product . And how will they label, in metric or the way that theyre labelling . Is it easily understandable . Its easily understandable in the sense that theyre going to have things like cups, units, you know, six crackers, half a cup will be a cup. Theyre still doing the metric with grams, i would prefer to see ounces, that would be my one other piece. Do you think the problem are the labels or do you think its americans understanding of nutrition . I think its americans understanding of nutrition and the fact that were eating more and food is around us all the time. So then, why do you think the labels will make a difference . Because i think youll pick up a label and youll look to see, okay, how many calories are really in this product . Right. You know, when you have a box of cereal, it says half a cup. Nobody really eats half a cup of cereal. Usually its a cup or two cups. Exactly. And thats why theyre changing that. So therell be a comment for 90 days . Yes. Yes. It needs an education campaign, as well, because theyre making the serving sizes bigger, the fda is not telling us that we should eat more. Theyre just telling us whats really in this product, like ice cream. For example. Instead of a half a cup of serving, as a serving, which nobody uses, nobody eats that, it will be a cup. When i talk to anybody whos had effective wait reduction, they say to me, it wasnt some specific guide. It was that i ate less, i pulled away. Exactly. All right. Lisa young, thank you. Good to see you. Thank you. General motors is facing a government probe this morning. Investigators want to know why it took so long to recall 1. 6 million small cars.

Zohydro is essential pure hydrocodone, a painkiller similar to oxycontin and would be given in doses between 10 and 50 milligram as day. Thats up to ten times the typical dose of hydrocodone now.

Reporter with most of the experts fearing the drug like oxycontin would lead to abuse. The fda told us in a statement that it approves zohydro because so many patients need it and it outweighs them.

The case is now in the hands of the okay state bureau of investigations. For cbs this morning, anna werner, dallas. Closing arguments could begin today in the drunk driving trial of kara kennedy. She says she cannot remember driving on a new york highway in 2012 after mistakenly taking a sleeping pill. She hit a truck and blew out a tire. Kennedy told about her upbringing. She said, quote, my mother raised us because my father died when i was 8. He was killed running for office. Rickky klieman joins us. Good morning. Good morning, norah and charlie. Was it important for her to bring up her political lineage . What we learn ld and the only person who could tell us is Kerry Kennedy is she had been taking thyroid medication for a number of years, i think since 1991 and she also took am bee yechb when she was traveling. Its a sleeping pill and a mighty powerful one at that. She was shown two pills, photographs of the pills and they do look remarkably alike. Her defense, i took the sleeping pill, the ambien, by accident. It was a mistake. And one of the things that the defense, norah and charlie, has tried to do from the beginning is as you say talk about her lineage. She is a kennedy. Why is that even relevant . Its relevant say her lawyers because if she were just a regular gal, just a regular guy, this case would have never been prosecuted up to a jury trial. It would have been simply a fine. So she is getting special treatment, the defense says, and not good special treatment because she is a celebrity, a kennedy. What do you make of the fact that she says she cannot remember th remember, that her memory is not there . Jumbled . Well, charlie, id say this. We dont know the Life Experience of these jurors. I am sure it was gone into during jury selection. But if anyone has ever taken a sleeping pill and has had a bad experience on it in that they wake up in the morning and they dont remember, the studies are legion. The expert for the prosecution has testified. There is a whole syndrome of people who take ambien or its generic equivalent and they go do things in their house, they cook, they turn on the gas, they turn on the oven, they go walk. Some go driving. And they have no memory. Has she changed her story at all since shes been asked questions about what happened . Yes. And that may be her biggest problem. This is a case where when one says, of course, if you lab to what she said and look at the two pills, it was an accident. The problem is theres a story in the middle. She originally said she didnt remember anything and, of course, that would make sense under the circumstances. For heavens sake, you dont take a sleeping pill and get in the car to go to the gym or go do other duties. However, she changed her story that it was a seizure and that could be a problem when she went back to first story in the end. Rikky klieman, good to see you. Thanks so much. And this morning don dahler looks at a potential crisis in the mountains. Reporter this harsh winter has been a boon to ski resorts but a Controversial Book says dont get used to it. The sky industry is doomed. Well have that coming up on cbs this morning. [ male announcer ] mcdonalds dollar menu more is all about getting more.

That moment you enjoy it at home. So much rain. It could become the new reality at ski resorts around the world. The author of a new book Winter Sports could be doomed. Reporter hes been shushing down slopes since he was 2. Hes skied on five continents and says everywhere hes traveled there has been less and less snow. Weve lost a million square miles of snow cover in the spring in the last 478 years. He spoke about skiing and the future of snow and how its vanishing throughout north mek, europe, and asia. He talks about climatetology and says that will decimate the ski industry. Half of the ski reposorts wi not be able to stay open in 30 years which is pretty shocking. Reporter according to noaa, snow cover has been decreasing at a rate of nearly 20 per decade since 1979. The loss of the snow pack is more than just a risk for the ski industry. It could impact every person in this country whether they ski or not. Its a very unique form of water storage and around the world a billion people depend on snow melt for their water supply. Reporter fox believes the change on the ski industry is like a canary in the coal mine. Its the beginning of what people are seeing. Jiminy Peak Mountain resort in massachusetts make almost 90 rp of it themselves. The cost prompted this resort to build this 4 million turbine. It was something no one has ever done before and its been an absolute home run for us. Reporter it allows him to be more optimistic about the resorts future. I know were certainly not seeing the kinds of patterns that suggest the sky is falling. I wish he was right, i really do. I tend to believe the thousands of scientists disagree with that opinion. Reporter if thousands of scientists agree that its happening why do so many resist it . Theres a long history of doubting science when it goes against the grain of what you want to happen. Reporter fox says if we start reducing the cost of Carbon Emissions now, it will slow down but hes not optimistic. They eave lost half of their volume in the last 150 years. Its disappearing whimly. Its really devastating for those living downstream. And for the future of skiers. Don dahler, cbs news, hancock, massachusetts. What a sad story. My kids are going to be upset about that.

But first, here is a look at todays eyeopener at 8 00. The ousted president may already be in moscow. John kerry is warning russia not to make, quote, a grave mistake, by sending troops to ukraine. When it rains it pours. Residents getting ready the best they can. The spotlight on arizona for days. I have vetoed the bill. They made the serving sizes more realistic, and the calories are going to be prominently displayed. In the petition from dozens of antiprediction groups closing arguments could begin today in the drunk driving trial of kennedy. Has she changed her story at all . Yes, and that may be her biggest problem. A controversial new book says dont get used to this, the ski industry is doomed. And megan was celebrating with her parents, until she realized her brother was also there and he was just back after serving in the army a year in afghanistan. Welcome home. I am charlie rose, with Norah Odonnell and gayle king is off. Ukraines parliament approved a new praopl this morning and as he takes over is he delivering a sober message. This morning, russia is adding to ukraines burden. Reports say the ousted president is now in moscow. And hagel is urging russia not to take any provocative action. Reporter good morning. A standoff is on going in the Southern Region where gunmen reportedly took over Regional Government buildings this morning and raised the russian flag. This comes on the heels of the class yesterday between progovernment demonstrators. Its home to a Large Russian naval base, and people here are really concerned about ratcheting tensions between russia and ukraine. Tomorrow previously unscheduled military exercises are now expected to take place right on ukraines doorstep with tens of thousans Russian Troops participating, and russia fighter jets on combat alert, so people here certainly concerned about a ratcheting up of tensions. For cbs this morning, clarissa ward, kiev. Its been raining in los angeles this morning, and california is preparing for several inches of rain that could bring mudslides. And megan is tracking the Severe Weather. Good morning to the viewers in the west. We are looking at more rain headed your way with another storm system. Between now and 48 hours from now, high accumulation rates are expected. Around the coast, we will see as much as almost 4 inches of rainfall, but high elevation snow could be quite impressive as well. We worry about landslides and mudslides and potential for Severe Weather for you, but in the midwest its all about the cold air. Windchills could drop at 50 below. What we see in terms of the weekend system is the low pressure from the west coast will run into colder air and could created an issue for more than 100 million americans from idaho to the west coast bringing snow and ice. Charlie and norah . Thank you. Reporters and politicians around the world are rallying today to support freedom of the press. The main focus is on journalists being held in egypt, and Elizabeth Palmer reports where one of the demonstrations is taking place. Reporter the protest here in london is now underway. Journalist and activist have assembled in the heart of the city. The theme is journalism is not a crime. Its a direct reference to the charges against the al jazeera journalists of spreading lies and having links to an terrorism organization. One man had been reporting on the up heval. And sue says her colleagues have committed no crime. Its part of the huge media crackdown in egypt, and they are trying to silence anybody that criticized them. Their so called crime was talking to and reporting on the opponents of the government, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood of mohamed morsi. Three years ago, tens of thousands of young people filled the square demanding the right to freedom of speech. That freedom has died. The Security Forces filmed the journalists arrests from their hotel room and then broadcast it on egypt tv with a bizarre soundtrack with shots over broadcasting equipped. Last week the three men appeared in court for the first time and the hearing did not go well. All three were denied bail by the military tribunal, a devastating blow to peters father who was watching far away from home in australia. He has been maligned and black listed and he is in the place of the worst of the worst. Where is natural justice . Where is compassion . Reporter the three al jazeera journalists are expected to appear in court on the 5th of march. This morning president obamas Health Care Law has a quote, qualified endorsement from former secretary of state, hillary clinton. The Affordable Care act is on the right track in many respect but he adds if things are not working, evidencebased changes need to be made. And the new york poll finds half of americans agree, they think obama care offers good things but changes need to be made to make it work better. However, 42 want the lawrie peels, and only 6 think its working well. We have new information on the failed rollout of healthcare. Gov. Time magazine reveals in its new issue that president obama considered shutting down the site and starting over. Time contributor steven brill reports. How close was the president to scrapping the whole thing . They were pretty desperate two weeks into the launch as the Government Shutdown ended, they knew all the attention was going to be focused on the website, which just was not working. So the president ordered his chief of staff to have a team come in and decide whether they should scrap the whole thing and start over, or whether they could fix it. The president was furious, right . Well, he was furious and everybody in these meetings that he had in the first two weeks was desperate, but they had no information. At these meetings, they themselves did not know if the sight was up except by taking out their own laptops and trying to go on it. There were people in the administration saying this thing is impossible and not going to work, and other parts of the administration believed that this is going to work. They all were told by the agency, the department of health and Human Services people that everything was fine, and they believed them, because the people who were doing the technology were afraid to tell the white house that this thing is not going to work. Now, in a situation like that, if you are running a business or if you are running a government, you have to have somebody who is willing, you know, to dig down and make sure that those assurances are correct, because, you know, there is going to be a day of reckoning, and the day of reckoning was october 1st. How did they fix it . They brought in people from the outside, and very quietly, the core of those people were the people who had done the technology for the campaign. You point out that the group was made up mostly of Silicon Valley guys, but there was one woman that played a major role in getting the website running. How so . She was the queen of errors. Her job was to track all the Different Things that were failing and create the punch list that would just knock them out. Thats a pretty big job. Well, she had a lot of people helping her. But these were relatively young modest people. The hardest part of the reporting was getting them individually to take, you know, any kind of responsibility for the good work that they did. They kept saying, this is a team and we dont want to be written about and we just like to fix things. They worked through thanksgiving and really got it done. They worked through thank githan thanksgiving and up to christmas eve. They passed a bill, but nobody ever thought about how to implement it. The people in the white house, at least, through the bill, which is what my reporting is about, they were very preoccupied by the policy decisions, and the regulations they were writing, and not preoccupied by, you know, the nitty gritty of actually implementing it, and government is implementation. Is it possible to go back and look at it and say, look, we did not have the right process to implement this, and to say, this was your responsibility, and you failed, so therefore you should be fired. If you are running a government or a business, as i have, that responsibility starts at the top. So the president i am not a tech nologist, but do you think the Health Care Bill will be part of the president s legacy . Now we get to see if we live in the house when the plumbing is working. Now the law will be given a chance to work. Great to see you. Great reporting. Thank you so much. Th skies parting just a bit, but the damage already done. Delays at sfo of over two hours on arriving flights. Showers winding down now a bit around the bay area. You can see storm number one rolling through.

This is one of the worst winters in a long time, but it could also be taking a hidden toll. Dr. Tara narula is here with us this morning and shes our new cbs contributor. Congratulations and thank you. Thank you. We dont talk about this a lot but really cold temperature in particular does several things to the heart. It causes the blood vessels in the body to constrict which decreases the supply of blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. It also increases the demand on the heart so your Blood Pressure goes up and your heart rate goes up and if you have that supply and demand misman you could be at a risk for heart attack. It causes the bloods to get thicker and the proteins to become more pronounced. Youre at higher risk for forming blood clots leading to a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Your heart has a gnarl circadian rhythm and you know on regular days were at higher risk. So in the winter where theres less sunlight it offsets our hormonal settings. Do you see this as a physician that more come in with heart conditions . Absolutely. There are increased rates of cardiovascular events in the winter months. Theres also the question of what else in terms of winter and how you eat and how you add to your own nutritional issues. Exactly. Lifestyle plays into it as well. In the winter, we tend to stay home, eat more fatty foods, mac and cheese, salty foods, more alcohol, and in general theres this seasonal defective disorder where you want to eat carbs, stay in bed and all of this plays into your risk for heart disease. Luckily spring is three weeks away. Thank god. What do we need to do in the next three weeks . A, bundle up and stay warm. You dont want to get hi hypotherm hypothermia. On top of that people go out and shovel snow. Its important to shovel slowly. Use a small shovel and take frequent breaks. Dont do something strenuous. I thought stren just exercise was good for you. Not when its sudden onset and cold temperature. Also alcohol. People think if i drink ill stay warmer. Initially you feel warmer but ultimately thats taking blood away from the internal organs because thats where it needs to be. Or as i like to say with charlie, only in moderation. It has a point at times. Thanks. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Whether its a polar vortex or arctic blast, this winter is a forever season for one business.

The stars soaring through the sky, two of hollywoods biggest names. Its director alphonso careor ca mexican but it has made in britain all over it. Special effects supervisor made that magic come alive. I think there was so many things that were groundbreaking about this movie and just had not been done before. All step forwards. Everything.

Reporter the giant leap has a lot to do with a Little Corner of london thats become the center of the university. At least when it comes to creating it on film. In the last decade they have stolen some of hollywoods thunder and business. International Film Production raked in 1. 4 billion for the uk laugh yeerts they they make it easier for studios to qualify for tax breaks starting this spring to encourage the next afternoon tar. Sky fall, inception, batman. And it all began with that film ceo Adrian Wootton says it helps that much of the creative talent is crammed within the radius of a few blocks. People actually like being here because they can walk out of place where theyre having coffee and a sandwich and they can walks over to their post production ifl and walk around the corner and see how the sound mixing is going 200 yards away.

Reporter special effects have come a long way since dangling a space ship on a string. Now its a snap to be thrust into space but the special effects in granty are a game charger.
