Sony says the controversial film will roll at some 200 theaters. Across the country theaters are taking a stand and preparing screens for Christmas Day showings of the interview. Its definitely transcended beyond just the interview to me. I think this is really gone into the realm of freedom of expression. They hate us because they aint us. Reporter the movie stars praise sonys scaled rollo rollout. The studio last week pulled the plug on a nationwide release after hackers calling themselves guardians of peace threatened 9 11 style attacks. Law enforcement sources say theres no credible intelligence suggesting any legitimate threat against cinemas. Still, local theater owners are consulting with police. Weve had Site Assessment done by the Police Department on all of our venues to assess the risk associated with exit doors and things like that. And were weighing the option of additional security. Reporter sony is working to make the film available for home video as video on demand release. Michael lynton issued the statement. Were proud to make the interviinte interview abvailable to the public. Reporter kim jonguns regime has denied any involvement and some Security Experts suspect a sony insider must have played a role in the cyberattack. Insiders were key. Reporter digital evidence points to a hacker called lena. A person that worked at sony in los angeles for ten years before leaving the company in may. The woman had the deep technical background she would need to locate the specific servers that were compromised. Reporter the fbi says theres no evidence that north korea had any help. Law enforcement officials are waiting to see if hackers respond in any way to sonys decision to release the film and the white house is applauding sonys latest decision saying people can now make their own choices about the film. Bob, thank you. Frank luntz is a cbs news contributor. He joins us live from las vegas. Good morning. Who better than a strategist to talk about this with. We feel whiplash. Sony is now releasing it. Any idea what prompted this final decision . Well, its clear that the public outrage had an impact. Any time the creative freedom is challenged, hollywood will take a step backward. Its amazing to me that were even talking about this. The idea that a country like north korea, which has less electricity in its whole country than rhode island has, would actually push a studio this far back and that the president of the studio first says, hey, im sorry. We cant show it. Then comes back and says were proud to. From a language standpoint, i would not have used the word pride in showing this film. Its not an epic film. This is not the titanic. And weve made this big deal over it. I think sony has a lot of apologizing to do. Frank, the film is going to play in just a small number of theaters. Originally it was going to go wide. Do you think it will broaden out or even go to home viewing here . In the research ive done in the last ten days, a lot of americans want to see it and they want to see it for the curiosity sake. If i was a Movie Theater and understanding the challenges, i would absolutely show it. I think its going to sell out not just in a couple theaters but in almost every theater. Understand the economic dynamics of this. If they are trying to release this in payperview so that people can see it on Christmas Day, the Movie Theaters get angry because people can stay home and watch it rather than seeing it in the theater. From an economic standpoint, from a creative freedom sony does not want to be. Ce tha i have to ask you about your comment when you said weve only seen the tip of the iceberg. Do you think there are more emails or whats the next shoe that could fall . I think that is network like cbs is going to get tapped. I think youre going to have some of the biggest technological corporations. That every fortune 500 company and particularly Media Companies are going to face this at some point. What north korea apparently did should frighten every ceo because every email that you sent on the set right now, every email at some point could be made available to hackers. Frank, what do you think sony has to do to move beyond this . They have to show that they are fighting for customers. They have to show theyre fighting for creative freedom. Who wants to do a film for sony if they think that youll back down that easily . Who wants to applaud what sony has done if they seize their behavior up to this point. This is a very good studio. Had been a good studio. It has to stand up for creative freedom and it has to be clear. I use this word explicitly. They have to fight for consumers to show them the best quality entertainment they can. Thats how they begin to win back their reputation. Frank luntz, thank you very much. Were learning more this morning about an alleged gun trafficking scheme that took place on commercial flights. Delta air lines baggage handler Eugene Harvey and former employee mark henry are the suspects. Police say they smuggled guns from atlanta to new york city.

Its also affecting confidence. I think thats really interesting. We hate when gas prices go up because we worry people will say gas prices are high and i wont spend. The reverse is in effect. When you look at the growth number. 5 in the Third Quarter. 5. 6 in the second. You look at the job growth in the last six to eight months, have we really turned the corner here . I think 2014 will be known as the year we did turn the corner. We had a terrible First Quarter. The economy actually contracted by 2. 1 and then followed by two strong quarters. We have seen those broad job gains. 2. 6 million jobs added. Were on pace for the best year for job creation since 1999. And that is starting to really affect consumers.

Vicente arenas is here with one familys tragic story. Reporter even a small amount of powdered pure caffeine can be deadly. One teaspoon can be the equivalent of drinking 25 cups of coffee. 18yearold Logan Steiner was a star wrestler at his high school in ohio, prom king and top student with a scholarship to the university of toledo.

Everyone should be on the same page about how dangerous this substance is and not used in any form in any way. Reporter the fda wont give a time line for legal action against retailers still selling powdered caffeine.

Merry Christmas Eve. Early gift to sit here with you. It is indeed. Im Anthony Mason with vinita nair. Charlie rose, gayle king and Norah Odonnell are off. A massive cleanup is under way in parts of the south that were hit hard by tuesdays tornadoes. The storms are blamed for four deaths and 50 injuries in two mississippi counties. Officials in columbia, mississippi, say the whole city was blacked out. Those storms are now moving east causing flooding and Christmas Eve travel delays. Meteorologist megan glaros is watching all of the conditions across the midwest. Megan, good morning. Good morning to you. It may be difficult to keep the Christmas Spirit alive if youre traveling across the eastern corridor of the nation today. Really rough travel expected from maine to florida all of the way to chicago and also the Pacific Northwest looking sort of rough as well. It will be easy in the middle of the nation where theres not much going on but anything from heavy rain to heavy snow around chicagoland to possible Severe Weather in the deep south today. So who will see a White Christmas . There lies the question on this date. What i see is i think it will happen for the Northern Plains up to minnesota, potentially in chicago. Not likely from new york to boston because of heavy rain today and possible record breaking heat tomorrow. One location that will see a White Christmas, hawaii believe it or not on the big island summits there are blizzard warnings up through tonight. Anthony . Megan, thanks.

Its fairly common for young people in their teens or 20s to have a roommate but now Older Americans are sharing homes with fellow baby boomers. The boomer roomies are saving money and having fun. Have you done that already . I did. 67yearold Deanna Wilcox and 68yearold ann frey are not just roommates, they are best friends. One title they cant stand. Im sure you have heard the term boomer roomies. I dont like that term too much. Do you like that term . I hate the term. Reporter the pair who often finish each others sentences have lived together in this 1,200 square foot apartment in harlem for the past two years. Deanna on one side. I have an office area and bedroom area. Reporter and ann on the other. A few years ago they barely knew each other. Deanna was living alone after her husbands death having downsized from a big house in the suburbs to a two bedroom apartment in new york. She met ann at a learning seminar. She was divorced and new to new york. Then deanna heard ann talking about her battle with Breast Cancer and how she could no longer afford her rent because of her medical bills. On a whim, she asked ann to move in. Next thing i knew i was running down the block after her calling for her. I started to cry. I said this isnt going to work. I have to sell everything i have and move into one bedroom with one closet and within a day or two i think i came back and said i would be foolish not to move in here. Reporter deanna and ann are part of a growing number of Older Americans sharing apartments and houses. Linda hoffman, president of the new York Foundation for senior citizens, says applications for senior roommates in new york have tripled over the past six years. She says sharing finances is not the only motivation for seniors. It can be very lonely and cause depression if one is unable to get out as often as possible if individuals who have no family and this is sort of a situation where built in friendships can occur. These ladies not only share rent and household chores, they also share a message. They started a blog called senior flat mates. Com hoping other seniors can benefit from what they learned.

Innovation and you Philips Sonicare save when you give Philips Sonicare this holiday season. A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory. Remember that. A scene from the movie unbroken which hits theaters tomorrow. Its a movie about Louis Zamperini who survived two years in japanese prison camps. In the late 90s, bob simon looked at zamperinis story of survival. Reporter the son of italian immigrants, Louis Zamperini was the troublemaker. I started getting in trouble because kids like to hear me swear in italian so they were picking on me to hear me swear in italian. Reporter known as the kid so fast on his feet he managed to steal deer from the bootleggers. He was convinced to take his talent for running into a new direction. The first race lou got in he won. Come on, lou i guess that turned him because it was from there on out he had a different outlook on life. Reporter zamperini became a High School Track champion. The second time he ran 5,000 meters, he qualified for the u. S. Olympic trials. A month later, he was headed to the 1936 olympics in berlin. He was 19 years old. Zamperini didnt win medals in berlin but he didnt fail to impress. He ran the final lap of his race in a staggering 56 seconds. He seems to have some gas in reserve. He really is making up time. Reporter he was congratulated by adolf hitler. He left berlin with high hopes for the Tokyo Olympics of 1940 but those olympics were replaced by world war ii and zamperini signed up for service who was posted to hawaii with a rank of second lieutenant. In 1943, his crew got a call for an ill fated rescue mission in the northern pacific. As we circled to look, our number one engine, the rpms dropped. This plane was barely flying with four motors and with two gone it dropped like a rock. Reporter zamperini and the planes pilot survived the crash and 47 days on a life raft in the middle of the pacific. When their raft drifted 2,000 miles west, they fell into the hands of the japanese. Throughout the remainder of the war, zamperini was transferred through a series of japanese prisoner of war camps. He spent his most trying months at the hands of a sadistic japanese sergeant the p. O. W. S named the bird. I couldnt bear the look in his eyes. Even when i was punished and he said look in my eyes, i couldnt do it. They were that sadistic. Look me in the eye. Reporter much of the torment took place at a prison camp. In april of 1945 with the camp facing starvation, the bird ordered zamperini to look after a sickly goat. He said if the goat dies, you die. If the goat dies, he dies. And the goat died. Instead of a usual punishment, he said pick up that piece of wood and made sam hold it above his head. For the first three minutes i could hardly take it and then i went numb and i was just frozen in that position. Reporter zamperini held that plank for 37 minutes. His revenge was his survival. Thats how we do it. Thats our revenge. If i can take it, i can make it. Reporter months later the war was over. Zamperini had endured more than two years of beatings, torture, horrendous conditions and brutal weather and now he was going home. You well over with emotion and excitement. It explodes your body to get out. Reporter zamperinis family who once thought he was dead waited for him in long beach, california. When i saw them, i ran up to my parents and my family, i just felt i had come back alive. I had been dead and i came back alive. Reporter zamperini returned to japan years after the war in the hopes of finding the bird. He had come to terms with the nightmares of his past and was ready to forgive. Right after the war, the bird flew up to these mountains. He hid out here for seven years. More than 50 years on, we found him in the First Television interview of his life, we questioned the bird about his ruthless treatment of the prisoners of war. I beat them. Kick them. Zamperini and other prisoners remember you in particular as being the most brutal of all of the guards. How do you explain that . Zamperini found his redemption another way. During the 1998 Winter Olympics in japan, he carried the torch. He ran triumphly through the streets of the city which was once his prison. Louis zamperini died in july at the age of 97. The only item on his bucket list was joining Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at the remepremi. She ended up not showing up because she had chicken pox. Sting talks to charlie rose about conquering years of Writers Block with a Broadway Musical. Thats coming up on cbs this morning after your local news. Good morning im nicole brewer.

One officer suffered a concussion but all three are expect to recover. Now lets get a check of the forecast with katie, seeing a lot of green in the weather center. We are and it is in the necessarily green from the Christmas Tree but rather on the radar. Lets take you outside to storm scan three full screen right off the bat where it is in the even rain we have brighter colors indicating we have steady rain falling across southern and central portion oz have new jersey. This is just generally what the radar will look like anytime today but because we are sky rocketing to the lower 60s and dose of april here, it is strictly rain. Dont worry about icing and no snow, this time for White Christmas, dreamers out there, and it is regardless going to be an active day of weather. Windy conditions later tonight and then likely a thunderstorm for santas flight but all clearing out of here in time for Christmas Day. Temperatures take a hit but we will stay well above average with temperatures right through sunday, vittoria. Thanks katie, good morning everyone. With the weather that we do have, upon us, this Christmas Eve, well, it the is in the looking great on the vine street expressway and i believe there is also associated with an accident that occurred that closed actually the westbound side of the vine and we are still dealing with that close aura approaching eastbound 76 off ramp. If you are trying to access the schuylkill right new using westbound side of the vine you cannot. Best alternate toys exit at broad, flip around on the eastbound side and jump on i95. Watch for hour delays at the airport doing holiday traveling, nicole. Our next update 8 55. Up next on this morning, music ledgend sting. More local news weather and traffic on the cw welcome back to cbs this morning. Coming up in this half hour, sting talks with charlie rose about his Broadway Musical and how it hits close to home.

The Washington Post looks at data proving Jewish Americans love feasting on chinese food on Christmas Day. Google searches for chinese cuisine spike each year on december 25th. Online Delivery Services also report a jump in sales. The origin of this Jewish Christmas tradition isnt clear. And a look at the over the top Christmas Display in connecticut. People flock to see a massive frozen beam art show clogging traffic featuring 50,000 Christmas Lights and timed to music on a local radio station. The backup to see the show is at least a half hour. I would go see that. I love those things. Thats cool. Sting is among this years Kennedy Center honorees. He first gained fame in the 1970s with the police before going solo. Charlie rose spent some time with sting as he enters a new stage. Live theater. Its a community. It really is. Its something i found welcoming and nourishing. Reporter sting is currently performing eight shows a week in the last ship, the Broadway Musical for which he composed the music and the lyrics. Reporter the songs were originally written for the 2013 album of the same name telling a town in transition and diminished opportunity. Its much like the town where sting was raised in northern england. You could say the last ship began when you were born. You could say that. I was born in the street where the end of the street was blocked by a giant ship for the first 15 years of my life where life working in a shipyard would seem to be the logical conclusion of where i came from. I did everything in my power to escape that. Reporter your father wanted you to stay. It wasnt that my father wanted me to stay. My father was an engineer at the beginning of his life. His father was a shipyard worker. My idea of being a songwriter or a writer seemed absurd to him. Reporter your mother loved music. She was a good musician. She was a piano player. She encouraged me. Reporter sting moved from a small shipping town to london. It was there that he launched his rock star career as the front man of the police. Reporter sting was joined by Stewart Copeland andy summers. With their blend of rocking reggae, the police went to the top in the late 70s and early 80s. The sixyear collaboration produced five platinum selling studio albums, five grammys and a place in the rock n roll hall of fame. It seems to me to have taken courage to disbanded police when you did not knowing what a solo career would be like. Would you describe it as courage . I knew what the alternative was to just stay in the same place and keep doing the same thing and for me that would have diminishing returns. My instinct was always to take a risk. I hope i have courage to keep doing that. Reporter talk to us about the process of song writing. I wish i could tell you how its done. It starts with an itch. A vacuum somewhere. Reporter is it a visual thing or no. Its a line. A line that has some rez nance that you havent heard before. You havent thought of before. Its a mysterious process and sometimes like fishing, you get nothing and then sometimes you catch something substantial. When i feel it on the end of the line, i know what i have and i do my damndest to pull it in. You are 2014 kennedy honors honoree. Hes one of our essential musicians. You look down and you see marilyn introduce you and you see some of your music performed. Its not unique for an englishman to receive this honor but its rare. It was unexpected. Certainly not anticipated by me at all. My friend Bruce Springsteen came and herbie hancock. Bruno mars. It was odd. And not having to do anything. Not even required to speak never mind sing. Im used to singing for my supper. It was a wonderful experience. It was difficult to just sit there. Reporter do you know who this is . Say hello. At 63, sting has no shortage of new fans. Admits before writing the last ship he went through a creative drought. Did this come at a time in your life when you were not having the same sense of being able to be inspired to write . I was in a Writers Block i would call it. Not a short one. Maybe eight years where i didnt feel the compulsion to write songs or maybe i was just sick of me. I like myself. A songwriter is obsessive. I was sick of that. I was sick of offering myself for scrutiny of the world and just for the sake of commerce. And yet when i decided i would write about other people, the community i came from, i think i revealed more about myself than i actually intended. Its my attempt to honor my community. Im in it perhaps unconsciously. Reporter i was stunned to know and i understand you didnt go back to your fathers funeral. No, i didnt. Reporter was that personal . It could have been cowardice on my part. I was working. I was on tour around the world. Reporter its your father. I saw him just before he died and i had some commitments and i left and i didnt go to the funeral. I didnt want the media circus to follow me there to that personal place. But having not mourned my father in that conventional way, i was cursed to mourn him in a much more extravagant protracted way. Mourning his life to a certain extent. He was not a fulfilled man. He was an intelligent man. He never really felt satisfied by life. Reporter my impression would be that your life has been hugely satisfying. Not because of its success but because you went in pursuit of something that was in your heart and you wanted to do. Not to be but to do. I have a history of doing things that are against the odds. Leaving a successful band at the height of their career making records that on paper dont seem like they would stand a chance on earth. I never really sought to coincide with popular taste and often i have but my intention is just to satisfy my curiosity. Interesting he says this show he meant to not be personal but winds up being very personal because its his view of the world he grew up in. You get that depth from sting in some of his lyrics but to hear him say those things especially about his father is very moving. Sting continues his broadway run until january 24th. You can see sting and all of this years recipients when cbs brings you the 37th annual Kennedy Center honors next tuesday at 9 00, 8 00 central here on cbs.

Cool costume. Where did you get it . My bed. Youre funny. Im brooke. This is my friend anastasia. Hi. Whats up . The show Silicon Valley reminds us a male nerd still dominates the tech industry. The percentage of women in the tech workforce plunged after the industrys bust in 2000. Despite the recovery since then, womens participation is still lower than in 1998. The New York Times reporter jody cantor looks at this gender cap by tracking stanfords Ground Breaking class of 1994. Good morning. Good morning. What i like about your article is we make some of the main characters as they were in college as when they graduated and as they entered the workforce and where they are now. What attracted you to this particular class . In history of american education, there are not too many classes who had this kind of magical timing. They literally graduated when and where the internet was being created. When they came to college, they had no idea but they grew up to be these tech titans and made a lot of money but its not just that. They invented a lot of technologies that you and i use every single day. Whats so interesting is as one of the women in the class says to you in the article, the internet was supposed to be the great equalizer. It hasnt turned out that way. Why did that happen . Thats the question i wanted to focus on. The internet was supposed to represent a chance to do things differently, to topple old conventions, to allow more people to participate, and yet when we look at the Technology Industry today which is probably the most dynamic and Creative Industry in america, we just dont see a lot of women. That clip you showed from the hbo show was perfect. Theres a moment in my story where the first woman finally comes to work at paypal and shes going to be the office manager. One of the engineers says to her does this mean i cant look at porn anymore in the office . We often hear women admitting i took a step back because of family life. I wanted to do something else. Was it your sense after interviewing this class that men really outshined women or that some of the chips were stacked against women as they tried to enter this world . Both. Both. There are generic things that hurt women in every industry. What i wanted to concentrate on in this story were things that were particular to the tech world. Its a number of factors. There were fewer female Computer Science majors for example in this stanford class than there were male ones. Theres also the question of how do groups form in Silicon Valley and how come so many startup groups are like minded people that will come and try to do something very risky and improbable together so the way that generally works is you kind of want people like you with you. People with whom you have a high degree of trust. The provocative idea here which is upsetting is the same thing thats made Silicon Valley so successful has kept it hononogus. You say it was the men that took the risks. Why was that . If you were the woman in the class of 94 and you were analytically inclined, you probably went into medicine in part because that was exciting back then. Their moms hadnt been doctors. To get a medical degree from a Great University and practice a valuable area of madisedicine w alluring. If you look at the comparison, i would do medical training and residency for a couple years or a startup for a couple years, they are exhausting and dema demanding but at the end of the medical training you know what youre going to get. Something valuable and durable that will last your whole life. With a startup you could end up with nothing. That changed a little bit. On the stanford campus, they say that Computer Science is like the new law degree. Its considered safe. If you have a Computer Science degree from stanford, there is a very strong possibility youll be gainfully employed for the rest of your life. I thought it was interesting in an article that said i never tried to sit at the boys table. Was that inherent in her success. I wont try to be like you guys . We have seen that a lot of female tech successes are in clothing, fashion, cosmetics, jewelry, et cetera. Great article. Thank you so much for joining us. Youre watching cbs this morning.
