Well have a lot more this morning about how to protect yo weather as a massive wave of cold is moving in. It is coming here but well begin with breaking news from the trump transition. President elect expected to choose rick perry for Energy Secretary. He met with the former Texas Governor monday at trump tower. You see him right there. And also trump nominating exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. His close ties to Vladimir Putin raising questions and abcs tom llamas at the white house with all the details for us. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you and the president elect just tweeting moments ago posting on twitter, i have chosen one of the truly great Business Leaders of the world, Rex Tillerson, to be secretary of state. If tillerson is confirmed this would totally break with tradition because hed be the first pick ever with no government or military experience to lead the state department. This as president elect trump is also asking one of his former rivals to join his administration. This morning, president elect donald trump making that much anticipated announcement, selecting exxonmobils ceo, Rex Tillerson, to be secretary of state as a businessman, tillerson was clear about his goals on deals overseas. Im not here to represent the United States governments interests. Im not here to defend it nor am i here to criticize it. Thats not what i do. Im a businessman. Reporter tillerson has no formal experience in government. But since taking his current role in 2006, the 64yearold has brokered International Deals as the leader of one of the worlds most valuable publicly traded oil companies, including deals with russia. Ive invested a lot of money, our company has invested a lot of money in russia. Very successfully. Reporter tillersons global ties especially his relationship with russian president Vladimir Putin now under the microscope. The two seen here sharing a champagne toast, putin even honoring him with the order of friendship, one of the countrys top honors for foreigners. Ive known him since 1999 and with him. I dont agree with everything hes doing. I dont agree with everything a lost leaders are doing. Reporter it happened as leaders in congress break with the president elect, announcing they will investigate if russia used hackers to try and influence the election. Theres simply cannot be a partisan issue. Reporter overnight the president weighing in. I dont think there was any doubt among anybody in the media or among members of congress as to who was being advantaged or disadvantaged by the political gossip that was being put out in drip, drip, drip fashion. Reporter this as transition sources tell abc news president elect trump has selected former Texas Governor rick perry as secretary of the department of energy. Perry, who once compared trump to cancer also famously forgot he wanted to abolish the Energy Department. The third agency of education, the commerce and, lets see. I cant. The third one i cant, sorry. Oops. Reporter perry who was recently on dancing with the stars seen here with vanilla ice was back at trump tower just yesterday for a second round of meetings. And for weeks we have been telling you president elect trump is set to hold a News Conference tomorrow to discuss his business ties, we now know that trump is actually postponing that News Conference but last night he tweeted this, posting this on twitter. Even though im not mandated by law to do so, i will be leaving my businesses before january 20th so that i can focus full time on the presidency. Two of my children, don and eric, plus executives, will manage them. No new deals will be done during my terms in office but, again, still so many questions about his business dealings and exactly how this arrangement will work out. We dont know when that News Conference will be. They have a lot down there, tom, thanks very much. More on this from martha raddatz. Matt dowd and, martha, let me begin with you on Rex Tillerson. Came well recommended from james baker and robert gates and condi rice, w. Bush so whats the best case for him . Reporter he is a highly successful dealmaker. He does know players around the world, not just in russia and knows how to negotiate. He said himself the russian government knows that when he says no, he means it and if you want to shake things up around the world and inside the state department itself with those career diplomats, Rex Tillerson can probably do that. And if trump brings in john bolton as deputy secretary of state who has a very different view of the world than it seems trump has he will have a kind of Good Cop Bad Cop working there with tillerson and bolton and that can potentially work well. But i think we also have to point out, george, that we really dont know what trumps gr really is and where he wants to go with it. We could find out at the confirmation hearings. Tillerson also getting caught in a squeeze play, questions over ties to putin and democrats on climb change. Reporter exactly and thats another thing. We dont really know what tillerson will do with that. He had business dealings affected by that before. He says he certainly believes in climate change. But putin said they want a better relationship and that is going to be tougher right now because of that and because of these hacking charges although so far donald trump says he doesnt believe that. On those hacking charges, matthew dowd, the real collision coming between donald trump, the president elect and congress including republicans in congress. Well, looks what donald trump has united opposition on this whole issue not only reeled to what martha said to the cabinet pick but opposition and on this issue it goes to does it delegitimize Donald Trumps presidency at the beginning. To Hillary Clinton and questions related to the election and now you have this situation which donald trump and his staff know is problematic for the integrity as he enters this office so its going to be a big problem. Monday night when the electors meet, how many will abandon him in the course of this. You know rick perry pretty well. What difference can he make . I know him really well and took his filing years ago when he ran as a democrat when i was working at the democratic party. I think the fascinating thing about this, donald trump is nominating rick perry who wants to disband the Energy Department. Hes nominated somebody to be head of epa that wants to get rid of regulations. Hes nominated somebody as secretary of education that is against much of what the education wants to do and nominated somebody as health and hew as somebody who wants to get rid of much of what they want to do. He has a cabinet he put together againsmu cabinet positions are supposed to be doing. Thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to the deep freeze alert from california to new york. Ginger is tracking it all and, ginger, i have out my winter coat. I think i need my winter winter coat because this could be the coldest december in a decade. You need your february coat. What you need because thats the type of air were talking about. 15 to 30 degrees below average. It creates a lot of lakeeffect snow, already did in my hometown. Thats where pictures are from right now. More than 18 inches in just the last five days and settling in with the windchill advisories and National Weather Service Warning if youre exposed to this type of air, windchills 30 below or less you could see just in 30 minutes frostbite. This is serious. Also the time of year we start to hear about the polar vortex, not a monster but a broad area of low pressure and may feel like it because the jet stream that acts as a fence keeping that cold air in, well that, is diving south and allowing some cold air to come in and by some of that, 25 below the like, nashville, 9, you guys and hits the northeast friday. Pull up the long johns. February, yes. Thank you, ginger. The latest on the dylann roof trial coming off a chilling day where the jury saw evidence where he killed nine africanamericans had plans to target more black churches and Steve Osunsami is outside the courtroom. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, george. The victims families have been filling the courtroom and there have been awkward moments with dylann roof and one of his lawyers laughing during breaks and theres nothing funny here at all. This morning, we expect to hear from police seen here arresting dylann roof in North Carolina. After police say he ran from the murder scene at this Historic Black Church in charleston. From his car, police say they pulled a Confederate Flag and this 45 caliber glock under a pillow in the backseat and burned American Flag in the trunk. They also found a list of other black churches in the charleston area. In his confession roof fbi he considered other targets. I thought about going to like a black festival or Something Like that but they got security and stuff and you got that wait for the day. Reporter his video confession played in court is coldblooded. Why did you have to do it . Well, i had to do it because somebody had to do something because black people are killing white people every day. Reporter he killed those nine at a bible study because hes a white nastist who doesnt believe that black lives matter at all. Is that why you chose that church. Oh, yes. Because you were looking for africanamericans . Right. I wasnt going to go to another church, you know, because there could have been white people there. Reporter jurors are learning he should have never been able to buy the gun. Video show him going and coming from a gun store a whole two months before the killings, a background check should have denied him the firearm because of a previous arrest for drug possession. The government got back to that Gun Store Owner by the end of june, a full two weeks after the killings, robin. Disturbing to hear that, steve, thank you. To that breaking news of a recall of a popular kitchen item. Older blades on cuisinart Food Processors could break apart and end up in your food and david kerley has the details. Reporter an urgent warning for a holiday staple. Conair the maker of cuisinart and the government announcing that recall of 8 million Food Processors. These are in millions of American Homes including my own and theyre really dangerous products. Reporter the cpsc and conair urging consumers to stop using the processors riveted blades with four rivets and beige center hub seen here working properly in this infomercial but those blades can crack over time sending small metal p your processed food. Imagine having broken bits of a metal blade in your food and in your mouth. There are dozens of incidents of cuts to the mouth and broken teeth because of these products. Reporter conair says there are 69 reports of these broken blades and 30 reports of cuts in consumers mouths or tooth injuries. Made over the past 22 years, 22 different models are being recalled. Its probably more in the 20yearold side and so we dont want consumers to be complacent even if they think they had it for a long time, put it aside. Check the model number. Make sure you dont have a recalled product and if you do, please act on the recall. Reporter some models were just made last year. This ordered minutes ago. Can you go to cpsc. Gov. I was just there and see if yours is one of those recalled. Now, the company is offering a free replacement blade if you do have one of these recalls and as we said, robin, them out there. A lot of them and very serious issue, thank you. Thank you, robin. Now to a manhunt for four thieves accused of stealing more than a Million Dollars worth of gold in france. Terry moran has the latest, good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, michael. The heists get more and more spectacular in europe. They are more brazen and looks like theyre taking tips from hollywood but its all dangerously real. This morning an allout manhunt for the Armed Robbers who left this scene on a french roadway monday. Cars engulfed in flames after assailants targeted an armored truck french Authorities Say and made off with over a Million Dollars in loot. A meticulously planned ambush just like from the movie heat.

Police say that fire was set likely deliberately to destroy evidence and create a diversion and thieves, michael, are still on the lam. Quite a few highprofile things happening in paris. Do they think its the same ring . Reporter well, it is actually they think just opportunistic and careful planning. They have not been able to get on top of the gangs, more than one, that are perpetrating these robbery. Thank you, terry. On to amy right now with todays other top stories. Manhunt in georgia.

A woman caught on tape talking about hiring a hit man to kill her husband decided to not take the stand so both sides have wrapped their cases. There were big surprises yesterday in court as this trial comes to close. Prosecutors getting a chance to show jurors that video of then Defense Attorneys dropping a bombshell during closing arguments. This morning, another twist in the murder for hire trial of Dalia Dippolito. Give her that freedom back to go home to her family and her infant son. Reporter dippolitos lawyer revealing in court during closing arguments she has a child. As the defense rests dippolito choosing not to testify in her retrial. You definitely want to do this. Reporter 34yearold dippolito is accused of hiring an undercover officer posing as a hit man to kill her newlywed husband of six months. Is your husband michael . Im sorry to tell you, maam, hes been killed . The spotlight on this video made by the Boynton Beach Police Department which the defense argues was staged and posted online to impress the crew of the tv show cops and displayed a lack of integrity in the investigation. A claim the Police Department denies but on monday the judge ruling that the infamous viral video will be shown the defense case the state has a right to put that in evidence. Reporter dippolitos lawyers insisting the police set her up. Dippolito maintains she is innocent. This case is 100 on the egregious misconduct of the Boynton Beach Police Department and how they used Dalia Dippolito as a pawn to generate good reality tv for the show cops. Reporter however, prosecutors arguing the video they showed speaks for itself. 4700 bucks. She wanted two bullets put in her husbands head. Reporter the prosecution will get a chance to give its rebuttal this morning and then Dalia Dippolitos fate will once again be in the hands of jurors, george. Okay, lets talk to our legal team, dan abrams and sunny hostin. No testimony. No big surprise. No, if she had testified shed suddenly have to explain why in the first case the defense was, i thought i was acting and then in this case the defense has been put the police on trial because if she had testified all of her past statements meaning including interviews with amy, statements shes made in pretrial hearings, all of which focused on this i was in a reality show defense would have come in and yet in this case the defense is saying, well, thats not really what were arguing this time. What were really arguing this time if you want to hold the Police Accountable throughout this country that Dalia Dippolito case is the way to do it. And its rare anyway for a defendant to testify. We were sitting here before coming out thinking, which defendants have testified and its been helpful in a murder case . Maybe the kennedy case. That was a murder case. Maybe slager because officers when they get on the witness stand do pretty well i think but by and large she had no choice. Always a gamble. The defense fought hard against having that staged fake murder video shown. Big impact. Big, big she reacts even before being told that her husband allegedly has been murdered. Its bad acting at the worst and then at the beginning of the video she says im 5,000 sure i want him murdered. In order to prove that it was the Police Officers fault, the Police Departments fault they have to show this defense has to show basically that they induced her to say that. That they planted this crime in her mind. Theres no evidence of that. And its the defenses fault it came in. Meaning the prosecution, the defense and the judge had all agreed, we wont introduce it but the defense then raises the issue on crossexamination of one of the Police Officers and now the prosecutors say wait a sec, if this is what you make as the heart of the defense we have to present that video. They opened the door. Does that kill the entrapment defense . The entrapment defense is not look, if you want to say youre entrapped an argument you make in front of a judge saying therefore evidence shouldnt come in. S, you can make it in front of a jury but nowhere near as effective to say, we were all kind of suckered into this situation. Shes on tape saying it. It is very tough to unring that bell with a jury by just saying, well, she was put in this situation where she shouldnt have been in and its not a legally admissible situation. Thats an argument i think it kills the entrapment defense. How do you show the police induced her, that they planted this notion of killing her husband in her mind when she says im 5,000 sure i want him dead. Big plea for sympathy, that revelation she has a son. Thats not going to work. Perhaps at sentencing that is something that can be considered but she was convicted the first time 20 years, convicted and then i think it was 20 years in prison. Lets face it, i think shes going to be convicted again. Maybe not 20 year, maybe 15. I dont know. I think shes facing exactly the same situation. You never know. You can get one juror. Thats her best bet. Thats true. Michael, whats coming up . On our big board, could a drug millions of already take help fight alzheimers .

Gio benitez is at the table. I thought wed kick you out in the cold. Nice and warm in the studio. Important story youll share. First another important story. Could there be a breakthrough in the fight against alzheimers . A new Study Suggests a link between the cholesterol fighting drug statins and a reduced risk in the disease. Dr. Jen ashton joining us now with more on this. You have our attention, so many people take statins. There are about 5 million americans right now living with alzheimers disease. About 34 million the statin drug to lower their cholesterol to protect their heart and this study found an association between those and with a lowered risk of alzheimers in some groups as much as 10 . This varied based on the dose, type and race, gender and ethnicity of those taking it and the theory involved cholesterol levels and evidence that that is linked to those plaques that form in the brain. Knowing this information now do you think well see a big uptick in the use of statins . Probably not yet. Its not quite ready for prime time and needs more research. You always need to consider risk versus benefit versus alternative and some cases, of course, cost and really you have to remember there are more things that affect the cholesterol level than just diet although thats very important and there are other things that cause alzheimers disease. We know there are other associated risk factors such as head trauma. Environmental factors, so this may be an important piece of the puzzle but its still a piece. Not the whole pie. Very promising, though. Yes. All right. Jen. Absolutely. Thank you, doc. Now to an amazing story of survival. An 8yearold boy coming to his mothers rescue after she fell into an ice covered pond outside of chicago. The boy quick on his feet made this 911 call. Tell her that the police said she needs to come back to the shore. The police say you need to come back to the shore. You need to come back to the shore. Good job. Good job. Good job there, young man. It was her son who called in. Thankfully the rescuers got there in time and shes okay but, gio, if you find yourself walking along a and you fall into an icy pond what do you do . This will be a little bit of a live show and tell and enlisted the help of kent vnuk joining us from Lake Minnetonka in minnesota where the temperature there is really, really quite low. Hes going to help us illustrate how to survive and you heard that dispatcher say come back to the shore. Thats what you want to do. You need to come back. It goes against your instinct, right . Isnt that right, lieutenant . Yeah, absolutely. What you want to do is go back to where you fell in. You know that ice was strong where you were just walking. Thats right and once you actually get back to that ice, once you swim back to it you find that strong ice. You need to sort of pick yourself up and there is a way to detroit. Called the elbow kick roll your way out. Can you tell us about that, lieutenant. Oh. Yeah, absolutely. As you notice you just fell in. What we want to do is go back to where he just fell in. What you need to do is get your body as far out of the water as you can and elbows on the ice and lay horizontal like doing the breaststroke and kick your feet as hard as you can like youre swimming at the same time pull yourself up roll away from that hole. We want you to roll away from that hole where you get back on to safe ice. Okay, thats if youre by yourself. If youre with a friend. Right away youll want to try to help but the first thing you got to do. Call 911. And once like the boy did. Call 911 first then you can try to help and once youre there to help, you want to stay about 20 feet away from the hole. You want to try to use something to actually pull them out. Right, lieutenant . Yeah, absolutely. After you call 911, get anything you can get jumper cable, a rope, pole, branch, whatever it is but have about 20 feet in between you. Need to keep that in mind because your first instinct would be go right to the edge but that you can tell him he can come out of the water now. I think hes enjoying it too much. There we go. You dont want to go to the edge. Yeah. Oh, man. I see what youre saying there. Dont become a victim yourself. Those are jumper cables. You whatever means necessary. Whatever you have available. Jumper cables. Roll away like that. Very helpful because if theres an arctic blast out there right now and there are a lot of frozen Water Systems out. You get so scared when youre out there. I got to admit i thought you were going to be there. Huhuh. But lieutenant is helping us out. Hes nice and got those jacks on. Yeah. Get someplace warm and thank you, sir.

And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. It was hard enough findibut the perfect ring .

Ive got alex to my left, toy ya to my right and we are in the audience for the aladdin cast about to perform for us their 178,000th show just happened celebrating that and well hear them sing andfriday single digit wind chills thursday warmer weekend wintry mix saturday am to all rain today mostly cloudy. Slight chance of pm rain, mainly east of i95. Highs 4349 winds se 5 mph tonight partly cloudy. Cold. Lows 2934 winds light wednesday partly cloudy. Highs 3946 winds nw 515 mph and right now we have a parenting alert about kids and youtube. More and more kids are making videos and watching them getting billions of views but an article in the Washington Post shines a light how all that time online could affect their development and rich besser is here to talk about it. Theyre watching diy things all the time. There is a concern for younger children. Right, for younger children. So when you go to youtube, youre seeing videos of kids doing everything, going shopping, opening toys, playing with balls. Making slime. Doing all kinds of things and its different than the videos rechled for little kids. Looking at a sesame street video, there its been designed to focus on teaching your child and shown to improve literacy. The videos on youtube, its whatever people decide to post. And it blurs the lines between whats real and in their own lives. When youre talking about preschool kid they have a hard time telling. Is that my real friend or is that a tv friend . Theyre seeing ads with these. Millions of times and cant tell the difference between the ad thats selling them something and the program which is designed to be entertaining so as a parent your kids will be wanting things you may not want, behaving in different ways. You have to keep an eye on it and what should parts do. The academy of pediatrics recommends no more than an hour of day of screen time for preschoolers. Decide how you want to use it. There is an app that allows you to limb the time and put age grouping around the parent stuff but every minute there are 400 hours of new content going on youtube so you cant count on that app screening everything out so you want to make sure youtube is designed for kids 13 and older. Make sure youre watching the videos with your kids first and watching them together. And then the most important thing is turn it off and let your kids play these things in the real world. Maybe there is an idea there and turn it into a creative project so its not use it as a jumping off point. So their life isnt there. But maybe have creative idea. Great advice. Rich besser, thanks very much. Over to robin. Thank you. A great night at the annual Sports Illustrated sports person of the year award.

Thank you. [ applause ] i wont say no. Welcome. Thank you. So weve seen you in so many roles from steve jobs to magneto. I understand its true before you had acting aspirations you wanted to be a munition. I did, yes. How did that go . Not too good obviously. Yeah. I wanted to be a lead guitarist in a heavy metal band. You like metallica, i read. Yes. I like the way you think. Thats great but you were unplugged actually at one point. I was unplugged, yeah. I played with a friend of mine that was michael and michael and that was the name of your band . No, we didnt really have a band. Exactly. And we ended up playing electric guitars in a pub and they were very sweet to let us play because it was raining outside and we were supposed to be bustling with electrical guitars and put us in the pub. Turn it down, turn it down, turn it down. Turn it all the w unplugged our guitars. We kept trying . And led you to where you are now, right . I guess so, yes. Of course, all paths lead to where you should be and as i was reading about your history, apparently when you played steve jobs you found it slightly challenging because you and technology do not go together. Im the worst with phone, computers, technology. How was it when you were playing steve and youre so convincing, by the way, just a great film when you have to talk the talk. Well. Apparently he wasnt great in terms of sort of, you know, the ins and outs of it but he obviously he had the vision and pulled everyone together plus i guess, you know, im an actor. Yeah. Thats true. And speaking of your acting chops, think new movie assas n assassins creed. You trained a lot for the role. Said you would challenge yourself with different stunts so what did you like to do . Before i was yeah, when i was an out of work actor i had little challenges. One of them was to dive off the tenmeter block in the swimming pool, you know. You got a diver right there. It hurts. I was up at the top. It took me age, i was looking down. Look too long, its not going to happen and these kids were coming up like 10, 11 years old and launching themselves off sideway, flipping. And i was still up there. They came back up again and theyre like they all went water wings on. They all went flying off the edge except one kid was like, you havent gone off yet, have you. I was like no and hes like are you scared. I was like yep. He said i was scared the first time. Go for it. Youll hurt yourself a little bit but youll be okay. I took his advice and he was right. I hurt myself a little not as pump as i thought. You hold your own in this new movie and we have a look at it right now. Lets take a look. What do you want from me . Listen to me carefully. Youre about to enter. What youre about to see, hear and feel are the memories of someone whos been dead for 500 years. Wait a minute. Achieved. Commence regression. Very powerful. This movie is based from a video game. Are you a gamer at all . I am not a gamer, no. But i just i just love this universe that was created. Sat down and had lunch with them and by the end of the lunch we were collaborating and we started writing a script because we didnt have anything at the universe. You had a game that you created a movie out of. Thats right, yeah. You your dna takes you to your own ancestors. That machine is like a genetic delorean. Allows you to time travel through your genetic code which is cool. The concept around the game which i think is really plausible within our dna we have the knowledge and experience of our ancestors. Thats been sort of passed down. Makes total sense. Its a great movie and ill be seeing it again with my stepson who is a huge fan of assassins creed. Michael fassbender, thanks for joining us. They said you play on the soundtrack. Michael and michael should have been on the soundtrack.

Slight chance of pm highs 4349 winds se 5 mph tonight partly cloudy. Cold. All that brought to you by carmax. Lara with all this stuff behind the scenes, you know youre about to see a good show. Ginger, you look fantastic. Now that were going to talk about a woman who inspires men and women alike, Dame Helen Mirren starring alongside will smith in collateral beauty and came by to talk about whats beautiful to her. I know. I know people write letters to the universe all the time. Most dont get a personal response. But you are because i just wanted to tell you that youre wrong. Im not some powerless middle management following orders. You see, i didnt want to make the trade. It was my call. I dont want this. I dont want this. I dont tell you how to do your job so id appreciate it if you didnt tell me how to do mine. Dame helen mirren, this film is so without giving anything away lets talk about the three themes that come up again and again. And they are death, love and time. Yes, thats sort of represented by characterizations, its kind of unlike any other film that i know. Its about the journey of life and a journey through tragedy and so sadly many people have to make that journey. Will smith recently posted a cast picture. It just seems like you guys gelled. An amazing cast. You always need a really good person who focuses everybody and that is will and will is such an extraordinary man. The first time i spent any time with him. Mirren says she has done it all including posing for the classic pirelli pinup calendar at age 71. You look exquisite. Well, i dont but you do. I dont. When i was doing the photo shoot, oh, god, do i really have makeup on and like, you know, and a beautiful flowing no, big hairy blanket and no makeup and i was full of prep dags but when i saw the whole calendar put together there is a cumulative power of that calendar. This is just another way of looking at beauty. Its a different kind of beauty. You are always talked about as being incredibly beautiful, incredibly sexy. Do you like hearing that. No, because its not really true and also, you know, these things pass. Its as if we can only operate through our sexual allure for want of a better word and such rubbish and so untrue about women and i just i just dont want women to be constantly pushed back into that. Box. That box constantly. We together have to think of a new word. I like smart. Smart is good. Smart and funny. Me too, absolutely. And she is both. Collateral beauty opens on friday.
