The first arctic blast of the season is sweeping across much of the country. Parts of the upper midwest are under a blizzard warning. Heavy snowfall overnight made driving dangerous in colorado. Sections of north dakota and minnesota have more than a foot of snow on the ground. Temperatures are plunging across the great plains and even in parts of the south. Frigid conditions will settle over much of the country through the week as cold air moves from west to east. Omar villafranca is in bismarck, north dakota, where government forecasters are warning about dangerous windchill. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning. People here in bismarck, north dakota, are waking up to snow drifts and single digits. There is more snow in the forecast, and the bad news is, theres more wind on the way. Wind gusts of up to 60 miles an hour have made it almost unbearable. And with the temperatures still dropping, people are getting ready for the worst. Blinding snow blanketed boulder, colorado, overnight, clogging roads, causing crashes, and forcing emergency crews to help out. North dakota is no stranger to harsh winter weather, although its technically still fall. Nearly all of i94 stretching across the state is closed, leaving the normally busy highway eerily silent. In minot, the International Airport grounded all flights tuesday. Whiteout conditions in nearby grand forks made driving nearly impossible. This stop sign marked the only spot of color in a sea of white. In the east, in douglas county, minnesota, heavy winds whipped snow across the roads. Bismarck, the capital of north dakota, was buried in nearly a foot of powder. People braved singledigit temperatures to try and clear their doorways and dig out driveways. Blizzard conditions made walking a tedious task and driving even harder. How is the visibility . Visibility in certain areas is down to zero. Right now in this area, because weve got, you know, structures and trees, its not so bad, but when you get out in the open, its really reduced. Reporter so you couldnt even see the car in front of you. There were times when it was absolutely like that, yeah. Reporter this is only a 3foot snow drift, but we have seen 7foot snow drifts in this part of the state. Snowplow Truck Drivers are staying very busy, but still, there are more than 450 miles of north dakota interstate that are still shut down. Omar, thank you. Chief weathercaster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs is tracking this arctic blast. And lonnie, the numbers do not look good. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Its cold where omar is in the northern plains. Its going to be cold for just about everybody in the country. Now, the story is this cold air dropping in from canada, its got an arctic element to it. So where does it go from here . Its going to progress moving from west to east, and it is the real first cold outbreak weve been seeing this season and so much of the country will feel it. Later today it makes its way into the midwest. By thursday, its the ohio valley. By friday, its in the northeast. Friday, saturday, sunday in the northeast, i mean, cold, cold air. What are we talking about . 14 below right now in bismarck, 11 below in cheyenne, 6 degrees below zero in sioux falls. By the afternoon, theyre going to warm up, but not much. High temperature in bismarck today, 7, 10 in billings, 12 cheyenne. And what about precipitation . Yes, there will be precipitation as that system pushes to the east, but the bigger story will be whats brewing out in the west. This low pressure system is going to sit and spin. Its going to push moisture onshore. That moistures going to ride up the mountains, and the mountains will end up picking up some big totals. How much are we talking about . I think places like the wasatch and portions much maybe the cascades, where you see this purple color flashing, anywhere from half a foot to two feet of snow. So, the story right now, the cold air thats out there, the story will become the snow for those of you who are out west. Thats the latest, charlie. Thats the way i see it. Over to you. Thanks, lonnie. At least 97 people are dead after air powerful earthquake hit indonesia overnight. Dozens more people were seriously injured. Many others are feared to be trapped in the rubble.

A federal official says a faulty appliance may have sparked the deadly oakland, california, warehouse fire. All 36 victims have now been identified. Investigators released the names last night of nine more people who died. The victims range from 17 to 35 years old. The fire chief says the search of the firegutted building is nearly complete. David begnaud is in oakland with why concerns about the building went unanswered. Reporter good morning. Its quieter at the scene that it has been for the last couple days. Mayor libby schaaf when she took to the podium here at the scene made it clearly initially she didnt want to talk about what went wrong. She wanted to talk about the victims and recovering the remains inside of that warehouse. But last night she made a pivot, and she started to answer questions about how inspections may have failed. And overnight, the mayor ordered the release of public records on the city website. Fire officials have now begun tearing down the unstable walls of the socalled ghost ship warehouse, as their search for victims ends and they try to uncover how the fire began. There is no determination of origin or cause in regards to this fire. Reporter according to the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, there is no indication the fire was deliberately set, but they are looking at whether a refrigerator or another faulty appliance may have caused the fire. Theyre looking at all potential sources of ignition, any kind of electrical appliance, lamps or electrical cords. Reporter oaklands mayor confirms there were multiple complaints filed against the structure. She is promising complete transparency, including the release overnight of years of city records connected to the property. One document says inspectors came here just two weeks before the fire but couldnt get inside. Video obtained by cbs news shows Police Officers inside the structure, purportedly less than two months ago. Do you believe that there was a systemic failure across the board . Im not prepared to draw conclusions from the history, but i will remind you that the responsibilities and duties of different City Employees vary. Police officers are not trained in zoning laws. We need to make sure that justice is served. Reporter the Alameda CountyDistrict Attorneys Office has launched a criminal investigation. You walked through the building. What was your initial assessment . It was horrifying and heartbreaking. You just felt the sense of the loss of life. Reporter recovery workers told sergeant j. D. Nelson it was heartbreaking for them as well. There was a man and a woman, and they were in a prone position, and the man was in such a way that it looked like he was shielding her from harms way. Reporter this warehouse was permitted for commercial use. Nobody should have ever been living in it. But when you walk down the streets in this oakland neighborhood and you talk to people, they get angry, angry because theyll tell you that the cost of living is so high here. People cant afford the monthly rent, and thats why a lot of people, even some who have lived in that warehouse, say they were doing so illegally. They knew it, but they couldnt afford a cheaper place. It is heartbreaking, david. Anger and sadness all at the same time. Thank you so much. President elect donald trump is getting ready to make two more significant appointments. Cbs news confirms this morning that Iowa GovernorTerry Branstad will be named the next ambassador to china, and marine corps general john kelly will be the nominee for secretary of homeland security. With an announcement expected on that soon. Major garrett is covering the transition and joins us this morning with the latest. Major, good morning. Good morning. General kelly and mr. Trump have met several times, and the formal request and acceptance occurred while he was traveling in europe, we are told by several sources, that to be announced formally by the transition sometime soon. That would be the third general in the top echelon of the emerging trump administration, indicating his preference for military experience, expertise and accountability. Thank you stop number two for president elect donald trump was in North Carolina, where he spoke of maintaining military might on the eve of the 75th anniversary of pearl harbor. We seek peace through strength. Reporter mr. Trump brought to the stage his choice for secretary of defense, retired marine corps general james mattis. I look forward to being a silvan leader so long as the Congress Gives me the waiver. Reporter mattis retired in 2013, so Congress Must waive a law forbidding a general from running the pentagon within seven years of retirement. House republicans inserted the waiver into a spending bill designed to avert a Government Shutdown friday. Now the choice for senate democrats, greenlight mattis or face government closures. Oh, if he didnt get that waiver, there would be a lot of angry people. Reporter earlier, mr. Trump appeared in the trump tower lobby with japanese billionaire and softbank ceo masayoshi sun, who pledged to eventually invest 50 billion in u. S. Startups, creating 50,000 jobs over many years. The president elect also criticized u. S. Aerospace giant boeing for a multibillion dollar project to build new air force one jets. We want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. Reporter the air force contracted with boeing last year to begin designing replacement aircraft set for delivery in 2024. Its time to bring air force one into the 21st century. Reporter Mark Rosenker oversaw upgrades to the current president ial fleet after the 9 11 terrorist attacks. Though mr. Trump is fond of his personal 757 jet, that craft cannot refuel in midair, deflect missiles or serve as a flying oval office. To retrofit the 757 for that capability would be extremely difficult, extremely expensive. The flap with boeing started with a trump tweet yesterday morning. That tweet came 22 minutes after the Chicago Tribune posted an article highlighting differences between mr. Trump and boeings ceo when it comes to the subject of trade with china. Now, the exact price tag on the upgraded aircraft fleet for air force one is unclear. Boeing released a statement yesterday saying the company is currently contracted for 170 million to develop a new fleet and looks forward to working with the air force to deliver the best planes for the best value for the american taxpayer. Charlie . Thanks, major. President obama says reversing course in the fight against terror could put National Security in jeopardy. The president defended his counterterrorism strategy yesterday at Macdill Air Force base in florida. It was his last major National Security speech as commander in chief. Rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism by dropping more boys or deploying more and more troops or fencing ourselves off from the rest of the world. We have to take a long view of the terrorist threat, and we have to pursue a smart strategy that can be sustained. The president said terror suspects should face justice instead of torture. He pointed out that he will be the first president to serve two full terms during war time. A speech at texas a m by the leader of a White Nationalist organization brought out hundreds of protesters last night. The students held signs and chanted as they gathered outside the campus building where Richard Spencer was speaking. Spencer gained attention during the president ial campaign.

This country does belong to white people. Reporter spencers keynote and questionandanswer session were interrupted several times. He then answered. Reporter when this woman asked for further explanation of the socalled altright groups objectives, men overpowered her and took the microphone away. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls spencer a kind of professional racist in khakis. Hail trump hail our people hail victory reporter last month, spencer delivered a speech blocks from the white house, which elicited nazi salutes. At a victory rally last week, donald trump made this comment we denounce all of the hatred and we forcefully reject the language of exclusion and separation. I will definitely sign your donald trump reporter but last night, spencer called the president elect a kind of altright hero. At a competing stadium event dubbed aggies united we can understand the difference between hate and love. Reporter University Leaders called spencers appearance reprehensible. We did not invite him here. We did not want him here. And we made our voices known as well. Reporter Campus Police said two people were arrested last night.

Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke.

Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

And the best place to work, drum roll, Consulting Firm bane and company. First on cbs this morning, glass door ceo and cofounder, his name is robert hohman, he joins us at the table. Good morning. Great news for bane, they have been on your list for the past nine years. Always apple and so is google. Those three companies are the only three that have made the list every nine years. Why is bane number one . It is fascinating. Not only has bane made the list all nine years, but won three times. No other company has done it. Most people dont even know what bane is, i think. I know. Theyre a management Consulting Firm. They hire supersmart people to help other companies solve their hardest problems. And thats what employees will tell you when you read on glass door about what it is like to work there. They love that aspect of it. They get to come together as a really smart team with other smart people, parachute in on a really hard problem that a company is facing, and then move on to the next one. They love the fact that bain is very much a meritocracy, or if you work hard, you are rewarded. Bain, mitt romney was associated with. It is associated. Bain capital is associated with bain. This is the consulting arm. Facebook, number two, what did employees say about that company . What people love about facebook is just how incredibly Mission Driven it is. And there is besides that, there is a couple of companies on the planet where what makes you happy is knowing youre affecting literally billions of people, youre talking google, talking facebook, there is only a couple like that. And they talk about that. Thats in many ways an engineers version of fame is working at where is apple in all that . Apple fits that bill. Apple struggled over the years. They have continued to do well, but fallen through the ranks over the years. Lower on the list. Really post steve. And i think apple continues to struggle to find its footing, but it is still a great place to work. Any Industrial Companies on the list . Yeah, clorox makes the list. Nestle, purina pet care makes the list. Some nonobvious names. One of my favorites is in and out burger. Yes, the only fast food chain on the list. Back to gayles original question, what makes a company attractive to work for other than being proud of the product . Yeah, so one of the unique things we can do, so stepping back a bit of context, glass door is one of the largest job sites where people can come to find a job, what is unique is people tell us what are the best parts of working for their company. What parts they wish they could change. Which means we do get to look at the common themes that run through that. What makes a Company Great is amazing communication, everyone understanding what the mountain is were trying to climb, so they can get in line behind it. There is a clear goal. Frequently an iconic leader, a strong person driving the troops from whether that is Mark Zuckerberg or larry paige, ron cook. All very unique, you know, and their stories come out. But what i would think would be highest on the list is the people you get to work with. It is. Giving, smart, sharing, collaborative. Thinking about your own experience. Yes. Actually, i was. Smart people is at the top of the list. Pay and benefits is up there. Everybody always says pay and benefits and quality of life. I love google, this is as good as it gets. Sales force, thats mark b benioffs company, we have fun. People matter here. Dont you love the simplicity of that. People matter here. Where people feel like what theyre doing youre not making me trade off my work and my philanthropy or my impact on the world and my work, youre aligning it for me. My work is helping to change the world. And i do truly feel like the Company Values us and gives back. And listens to us. Yes. Go back to in and out burger. Thats the only fast food chain that made the list. It is a hard job. Good burgers. They have amazing burgers. Anybody that walked into an in and out, you know there is a special vibe there. People do seem to be enjoying their work. What they talk about is great training programs. The ability to move and grow. Can you make an argument that there is a direct one to one correlation between where people want to work and value and profits. This is fascinating. Good question. There has been research are you familiar with charlie ro rose. There has long been known that there is a correlation between Employee Satisfaction and stock performance. What has not been known is whether it is causality, meaning theyre related, but happy employees actually create economic value. In the last three to four years the First Research is out from universities that they do. I call it the southwest effect. And if you travel to southwest, you know what im talking about. It is different. It creates value. You have a better experience. Thank you. What do they say about you and your company . We like you. We like you, robert hohman. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for coming. We appreciate you coming here. Thank you. Are potentially harmful chemicals leaking out of your teething ring. Dr. Tara narula discusses the announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by hepc. Hope. Helen en C Helen Mirren channels death for her latest role. Ahead, shes here in studio 57 to talk about the new movie that the director compares to its a wonderful life. Youre watching cbs this morning. And youre talking to youro doctor about your medication. This is humira. This is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. This is humira helping me go further. Humira works for many adults. It targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. Humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ready for a new chapter . Talk to your rheumatologist. This is humira at work. Im not a customer, but im calling about that credit scorecard. Give it.

The prov formula makes every inch stronger. So i can love my hair longer. Strong is beautiful. Pantene. In our bpa even the ones labeled bpa free or nontoxic. Our dr. Tara narula is here. I was stunned to hear about this story because bpa has been banned but probably not the teethers . Despite this, in fact, there is surprisingly Little Research done on this. Researchers took 59 different teethers in this study 2 different brands and they found that there was essentially a range of 26 different types of chemistry of concern, that leaked out of these teethers. Including bpa which, as you mentioned, even all though labeled bpa free and nontoxic but had low levels of chemicals but still concern that babies are absorbing these. Youve got a baby in the house. What did you think when you heard this . I was not happy because i have about four different types of teethers in my freezer which i will now be getting rid of. What do people do . They dont name brands. No, they dont. The experts we spoke to suggested just avoid these terges teethers and use homopathic and homegrown remedies like a frozen wash clock, a frozen carrot. There are teethers made of wood or organic confront can be used as well. Frozen bagel is a good one. Bpa, what does bpa do if it gets into chala childs concern. They mimic or disrupt the natural occurring hormones in the body like estrogen, and thyroid hormones. The concern they can cause Neurological Development and reproductive effects in growing infants. Is it only in growing infants and not in adolescents or adults . I dont think we know the answer to that we. As far as what we do, the fda reviewed 300 studies in 2014 and say bpa in our current supply that we get from our Food Packaging is safe. But we really dont have a lot of great research. We dont have a lot of studies, especially on infants and adolescents. I think that the jury is still out on this. I like the frozen eggo suggestion. Let go of my eggo. A carrot, youre not concerned about them biting and choking on it . If its grfrozen and hard yo do have to be concerned about choking risk. Some have plastic housings or casings and to leech out or the chemicals could migrate out from that. How do you know something is bpa free that youre putting in your babys mouth . I dont think that you do. Because some of these were labeled b, pa free. Even the sippy cups are labeled bpafree, we might be investigating that also. Which is why youre throwinging yours out . Im throwing out the teethers. I need the bottles and cups. A disabled veteran gets a fourlegged assistant on the job. Love this story. That is coming up. We will be right back.

We will ask the wall street journal financial about the fallout. Helen mirren in the role of death she is here in studio 57 and ahead why she believes this movie is profound and how she managed to find humor in a subject that should be deadly serious. Time to show you some of the mornings headlines from around the globe. A Business Insider says Chris Christie broke a record. He has the lowest Approval Ratings for any state governor in more than 20 years. Quinnipiac poll shows 77 of new jersey voters disprove of the job christie is doing. Most say he is dishons. His reputation was tarnished when he was linked to the socalled bridgegate scandal. Bob dole, the former senator and president ial candidate is a lobbyist at a law firm. According to disclosure documents, dole coordinated meetings between mr. Trumps advisers and official in taiwan. The Firm Received 140,000 dollars for the work. Time. Com says beauty doesnt make me feel so good. President elect trump said this morning he and boeing will work out a dispute over the price of a new air force one. Mr. Trump tweeted yesterday costs are out of control, more than 4 billion. He said the order should be cancelled. The two planes that serve as air force one are more than 25 years old. The air force called on boeing last year to begin designing replacement aircraft to be delivered in eight years. Boeing responded to mr. Trump in a statement that it is currently under contract for 170 Million Dollars to determine a plan for the planes. Boeings stock price fell when the markets opened, then bounced back. A financial editor of welcome welcome is with us. Should the president be negotiating with boeing about the price of an airplane . The president elect. He is not even in office yet and do doing his thing. It depends how you view it as politics. You could say he is setting the stage for a president who is going to say i dont want to pay certain prices. But then again, you get to the constitutional issue of whether that is appropriate or not. For the president elect . Yes. But my question even the larger question i meant when he is president , dont we want the president doing other things and let other people negotiate the price of a plane . I assume it plays well with in the country because it looks like somebody is worried about spending, it looks like somebody is worried about jobs and all of those things. I got to share my gut reaction which was 4 billion that is a lot for one plane even if it is a great plane. The fact first. It is not 4 billion. Lets be clear. It is not 4 billion. Its a Service Contract over many years and specifications created by the government itself. I think as a matter of rhetoric and communication you have to whether you agree with trumps politics or not he is doing a pretty good job of setting the terms of engage tengagement i dont want to pay a lot of money and renegotiate with china and do everything i can to fight for jobs and a lot of issues the way he is doing it but he is setting the communication pretty clear. One issue might be tweeting as much as he does . Why hasnt donald trump had a press conference . That has not happened. He is keeping control of the message and that is, again, its what impact is it having on the stock market . Hey, stock market never been better. I know. Right . Dow what is the cause sayinaigs . You believe growth is coming and regulation is being taken off the books, and, you know, buy stocks, sell bonds. The bond market the reserve right. If you believe growth is coming and that is another big question, then buy stocks. Do you think this is the way to run a railroad through tweeting as opposed to having a press conference . What is your gut reaction to that . Ill give you my gut reaction. Yeah. What is it . That we created a country of rule of law and not a rule of men. And even if you do agree sort of emotionally with what trump is saying, via tweets or whatever he is doing. A lot of people apparently do. There should be a path by which not one person controls what happened in the country whether it relates to one company or any one issue and why we have a congress and why we have lets talk about your lets talk about reporting. Sure. Im pretty sure i read it this morning in your paep. I read five papers. It said in your paper that corporate america, though, is reacting to this pretty negatively what they did with boeing. Why . I think that is the drainianf this if you believe what he is saying. If youre in the crosshairs of the president and he can tweet and bring popular opinion against us, that is a dangerous place to be. The facts of the matter might be entirely different than what he is saying. And there should be methods and a process. Its not its not easy or efficient but it is the way the u. S. Is supposed to work which is that there is a rule of law. Is the deal with carrier a shakedown . Your paper called it so. Editorial board. We try to stay i understand. The argument is is that editorial boards view was that there is no particular reason why any person or government should be telling Business People what to do and those who have their money on the line and jobs on the line are the best allocators of capital. What about the president elects idea that if a Company Closes factories, therefore, causing job loss, moves overseas and makes products overseas, if they bring those products back in, they will be imposed a huge tax. I proposed a 35 tariff on that. It becomes a question of free markets or not. Declaration of independence, one of its grievances against king george was the right for free trade. What that is using the tax code as either punishment or in other cases as an incentive. I try to stay out of politic but what i would say, if congress too late, dennis. We are all being sucked in. If Congress Wants to enact that tariff law, then congress should have the right to do. One person who tweets that does seem a bit of a step too far. What about the announcement by the Chinese Company softbank. 50 billion dollar investment in u. S. Tech companies and saying 50,000 jobs. Again, here details are kind of important. They already said they were going to spend this money largely in Venture Capital investing and keep in mind this is the hundred billion dollars is from the saudis. And what did donald trump say . Invested in his fund. Investing in his fund. I think donald trump has been masterful at recasting the question of jobs and that is very important to americans. The question each individual has to make the choice. Do i feel right about the way he is doing . Once again, he is the center of the conversation. Does he ever have time to sleep is what i wonder. I guesses perhaps on his luxury air force one newly redesigned. Thank you, dennis. Thank you. Helen mirren plays an unusual role in her new movie. Listen to this cast. Its allstar. Will smith, kate winslet and Keira Knightley and ed norton. That is star power and helen mirr mirren, the queen. She will tell us what attracted her to collateral beauty. First, it ,,,,,,,, cmon in, pop pop happy birthday ,,,,,,,, i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. People want glamour and tears and grand performance. Im not very good at that. I never have been. I prefer to keep my feelings to myself. Foolishly, i believe that is what the people wanted from their queen. Not to make a fuss, nor wear ones heart on ones sleeve. Duty first. Self, second. Thats how i was brought up. Helen mirren won an oscar for playing the queen. I feel like i have to sit up straight in your presence, madam. No. No slouching here. Her acting career began on the british stage when she played cleopatra. And age of consent. And starred in madness of king george. And calendar girls red and many rgeothers. She scored a tony in broadways the audience. Her newest movie is collateral beauty and features her in the role of death. Her character helps a grieving father played by will smith to cope with a devastating loss. They grieved. Darks. They grieve and they fully understand death. You called me a paper tiger in the letter you wrote me. You had i was pathetic. You dont remember . You went on about middle management, making a deal, paper tiger . Oh, it wasnt that long ago where did you get that . Who are you . Who did you write the letter to . I wrote the letter to death. Nice to meet you. Well we welcome helen mirren to studio 57. Hello, death yes, hello. Nice to see you you look so good explain this role to us. Oh, well, this is a very difficult film to explain. And actually, i have to say that is what drew me to the script in the first place. Reading it, i thought i have never read anything like this before. This is kind of extraordinary. And its going to be very difficult to get it right. It will either be a complete disaster, fall under the rocks and crash and burn or it will be kind of wonderful and very special. And im hoping that it went the very special route. But any way. We play its about finding finding your way back to life in the darkest of moments, and i thought its very interesting watching that piece about aleppo and the family in aleppo. Yes. And finding that light in the midst of incredible darkness, the love of a family. And that is basically what the phrase collateral beauty kind of means. Its very deep. But and its serious. And i get to play the very comedic role of death. That struck me too. Im going to fall on the side of its kind of wonderful. I agree, helen. I had never seen anything like it. You see at the end of the movie, tears just streaming down your face because of the beauty of what youve just seen on the screen. But you somehow have managed to make death funny. Which also sprefurprised me in middle of all of this. I thought that was important. Not that makeup funny but i think it came out on funny in the end. But alive as possible. I said what do you mean you want me to play death . You want me to play love or power or Something Else . Will smith has lost his 6yearold daughter. We should give some context to this. And the way he deals with writing the letters to the universe. About time and death. Which apparently is quite a common thing when people are confronting such unbelievable, deep, deep challenges. And there is a feeling of why, why this is happening to me, what is life all about if it has to incorporate such incredible pain . And, apparently, people do sometimes write letters. Somebody once said how do i know what i think until i see what i write . Yes, absolutely. Some comparison are being made between this and its a wonderful life. That is the most wonderful comparison to have. Certainly i think there is a feeling that we want people its very much a film for the christmas period. Its about family. As much as anything. Its about love. As much as anything. And its all shot in new york last christmas. We shot it last winter. So it is very much, you know, hopefully a christmas movie. I cant get over your cast. Kate winslet said this about you. You can talk to helen about anything, from boobs to boys and work what we are going to drink for cocktail hour. She is everyones friend and out of control sexy and beautiful and we all wanted to make out with her. Oh pnaughty girl but it is true. True in the sense that you have looked ahead some 20 years ago to what a great life would be, you would be sort of the life youve lived. Oh, absolutely. And my husband and i Taylor Branch . Yes. Was saying exactly that. My god, we are so unbelievably fortunate and we are and no two ways about that. So, you know but, you know, there is always challenges in life. And as you get older, you know, i think they come more often. Probably simply because youve lived on this planet for a longer time. Youre in the calendar of sexy women. I know you dont want to use the word sexy but, damn it, you are. Well, i want to find another word, you know . Somehow it incorporates that in a sexual way. P what is that word, helen . I dont know. Im thinking for it. Damn fine damn fine, you are be named norah youre watching cbs this morning. ,,,,,,,,,,, even a polar bear can go a little crazy. Seeing snow for the first time. You can see the 1yearold, her name is, what is her name, norah . Norah racing around her enclosure in the portland, oregon, zoo.
