Reporter as seen in the upcoming hbo documentary bright lights. Dimmed. Good morning reporter although on screen both will shine on for years. For more on this lets bring in jess cagle from People Magazine and senior medical contributor dr. Jen ashton. Dr. Ashton, let me start with you. Theres talk of broken heart syndrome this morning with moms death coming so soon after her daughters. Is that a valid medical phenomenon. It is a real medical condition. I think it is possible figuratively and literally to die of a broken heart. Doesnt seem to be the case for Debbie Reynolds but theres reports of spouses dying hours or days amart from each other. The loss of a child is known to be one of lifes greatest stressors, whether that child is 6 or 60. So when youre talking about an elderly person with known preexisting medical conditions certainly the loss of a child can be a massive emotional and physical event. Let b mother and daughter, they were estranged for about a decade but had so many personal tragedies between the two of them. Do you think that gave them an unbreakable bond and ultimately brought them back together. Ultimately it did. I think that Carrie Fisher went through, you know, as she spoke about so publicly a lot of addiction issues and so i think probably through a lot of therapy she learned to be grateful for this woman who had shaped her life and made this life possible for her and given her this extraordinary life and she learned to let go of the resentments because, you know, Debbie Reynolds was she was great on stage and she was great on screen. At home things were much more difficult for her. Life was hard sometimes. Yeah, life was certainly hard but had that breakout role at 19 in singin in the rain next to gene kelly but her career spanned over 60 years. Why do you think she had such longevity . She was incredibly talented and well liked and great comic actress. Underrated. One of the best so while one generation knows her from singin in the rain, another knows her from will grace as graces mom and she was fantastic. If youve ever seen mother with Albert Brooks she should are won an oscar for that film. She was always great. And, frankly, she loved to work and had to work. Jess cagle, dr. Ashton, thank you both. We appreciate it. Well speak more with dr. Ashton in our next hour about Carrie Fisher and her mom and the deaths coming so close together. Also overnight a tweet.

Back over to you. Today the white house is expected to announce how it will respond to allegations of russian hacking during the president ial campaign. What will these new punitive measures be and will the russians retaliate . Abcs david kerley is on the story from washington. Sources are telling us the Obama Administration will be public today in announcing retaliation and providing more details on why it is so sure russia hacked and interfered with the u. S. Election. This morning, sources tell abc news russia will soon face punishment for meddling in the u. S. Election. The Obama Administration getting ready to announce economic sanctions as early as today. It is now time for russia to understand enough is enough. Reporter this public retaliation coming after weeks of debate inside the white house on a response to those cyberattacks leading up to the election. Attacks u. S. Intelligence agencies say were meant to embarrass Democratic Party leaders including Hillary Clinton and help donald trump. The president elect weighing in on the coming sanctions taking the opposite position. I think we ought to get on with our lives. I think the computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole, you know, age of computer has made going on. We have speed. We have a lot of other things but not the spirit you need. Reporter Martha Raddatz asked president obama about the evidence of russian involvement. Just to be clear, do you believe Vladimir Putin himself authorized the hack. What i can tell you is that the intelligence that ive seen gives me great confidence in their assessment that the russians carried out this hack. Reporter Russias Foreign Ministry posting a response on its website saying, quote, if washington actually takes new hostile steps, then it will get a response. Now, this is not the end of the obama investigation of the hacks themselves. And it is unlikely that this will be the only retaliatory steps that the u. S. Takes against russia including the possibility, dan, of covert cyberactions. Well, in terms of covert operations, who or what would we be going after and how . Reporter there is a wide range. If they know exactly who did these hacks they could go after them directly or go after members of the go after members of some of the oligarchs. There is a vast possibility. The question is do you want to start a cyberwar, something the Obama Administration has been very worried about as its been talking about what action to take against russia. A lot of fear this could open up a pandorpandoras box. More fiery rhetoric from donald trump slamming u. S. Policy toward israel in a series of angry tweets and accusing president obama of hindering the transition of power and then backtracking. Mary bruce at the white house with more and it seems the two have talked. Reporter good morning. Yep, for weeks they tried to bury the hatchet after the Contentious Campaign but now donald trump is taking on obamas foreign policy.

Overnight donald trump emerged from his maralago estate with praise for president obama and the president ial handoff. Our staffs are getting along very well and im getting we develop with him other than a couple of statements. That i responded to and we talked about it. Reporter with boxing promoter don king by his side the president elect said he just had a very good talk with the president. I actually thought we covered a lot of territory. Reporter but just hours earlier a very different tone. Trump slamming obama for getting in the way of the transition. Trump tweeting doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory president obama statements and roadblocks. Thought it was going to be a smooth transition, not. This is the current and future president faceoff over one of americas top allies, israel. Trump tweeting we cannot continue to let israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. The president elect has been criticizing the Obama Administration for allowing the u. N. To condemn israel for building settlements, a move that broke with longstanding tradition. Secretary of state john kerry is passionately defending the decision saying those settlements put the possibility of peace in jeopardy. Ande and protect israel if we allow a viable twostate solution to be destroyed before our own eyes. Reporter infuriated israeli Prime Minister netanyahu is firing back. I must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. Reporter now as for trump he says kerrys remarks speak for themselves. The president elect says he thinks israel is being treated unfairly and that the u. N. Has tremendous potential, but isnt living up to it. Dan. Yes, and trump is promising big change come january 20th. Mary, thank you.

An incredible story, three teens stranded after their boat overturned and starting sinking off the florida keys. They were able to call 911 for help and well hear from them about the scary moments they spent waiting to be rescued coming up in just a few minutes. A remarkable story, sara. Good morning to sara. We dont want to let her presence go unnoted. Her presence never goes unnoted. Especially if you sit next to her. Much more from sara coming up. We start with the new lawsuit over the says of Jonbenet Ramsey. Her brother is suing cbs for 750 million. He claims the network falsely implicated him in his sisters murder. Abcs Clayton Sandell is in boulder, colorado, with much more. Clayton, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you, dan. Yeah, police here in boulder never solved jonbenets murder but now a documentary that claims to kw finds itself the new target of a huge lawsuit. This morning Jonbenet Ramseys brother burke is suing cbs for defamation over a documentary that he says falsely accuses him of murdering his own sister. Burke was 9 when 6yearold jonbenet was found strangled 20 years ago a story recounted in the fourhour program that aired in september the case of Jonbenet Ramsey. It was touted as a complete reinvestigation of the case and accusing burke of being the killer. Out of anger, he may have struck her with that flashlight. I think we all agree on it. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Sure. Yeah, i agree with that. However, i think its not the intensional murder. Reporter firing back burke accuses cbs of Production Company and several experts who appear in the company of fraud calling it a frictional crime show based on a theory from a selfpublished book rejected from Law Enforcement. The show was negligent lently published with a reckless disregard for the truth. Burke himself spoke out for the first time this fall in an interview with dr. Phil. Some people have speculated that your parents werent protecting you, they were hiding you. For the last 20 years i wanted to grow up like a normal kid. Reporter his lawsuit seeks 750 million in damages. Cbs has taken a young man and they have falsely branded burke as a child killer since age 9 and he will live with the impact of that accusation by cbs for dan. Clayton, thank you. For more lets bring in our legal analyst areva martin in our los angeles bureau. Areva, good morning to you. Good morning, dan. So does burke ramsey have a case . This is a really complicated lawsuit. The first issue is veracity, in order for burke to prevail he has to establish that the documentary and its conclusion that hes the murderer was utterly false. Then the issue becomes knowledge, did cbs know that it was producing a story that was false and did so anyhow . We know this lawsuit claims that cbs is reckless. That will be the burden of proof on burke to establish that recklessness. So, really complicated, particularly given that two district attorneys have cleared the family including burke based on the evidence thats been tested so far. If this goes to trial and doesnt settle does that peen we could actually see evidence and testimony submitted in court about who killed jonbenet . Thats a good because we havent had anyone brought to justice theres been no trial with respect to anyone related to this case, in this defamation action we could have a mini trial of sorts based on the evidence as burke would try to establish that he, in fact, was not the killer and in order to do so, he would have to put forth evidence suggesting that someone else committed the murder of his sister. So we could see this case played out in terms of the murder trial of jonbenet in this defamation lawsuit. This is a 750 million lawsuit. Thats a huge number. Is it realistic . That is an incredibly huge number but think about the hulk hogan lawsuit against gawker. I think it was about 140 million that the verdict came in from the jurors in that case so weve seen substantial verdicts in these cases, so burke is able to get past liability the question then becomes about punitive damages and we are talking about cbs pockets, a huge net worth for a media company, so if burke is successful we could see that. Thank you, areva martin. Fascinating developments. We want to move to that Murder Investigation in arkansas with a technological twist. Police believe amazons spark speaker known as alexa could be the key to unlocking exactly what happened on the night in question and abcs Mara Schiavocampo has all the details for us this morning. Hi, mara. Reporter good morning. Investigators want to know if that device recorded any important evidence the night of a murder. Its a case thats raising a lot of questions about privacy rights when it comes to certain devices inside your home. One of this years hottest Holiday Gifts now at the center of a murder case. Arkansas police asking amazon to turn over data from its popular echo device better known as alexa. From the moment you wake up alexa, who is on today . Reporter until you go to bed. Lights off. Reporter it delivers music, news, weather and in the case against james beatlates, it cou have been a witness to murder. He is accused of killing his coworker found dead in bates hot tub. He pleaded not guilty. Alexa, add wrapping paper to the shopping list. Reporter when owners talk to alexa. I put it on your shopping list. Reporter it records the conversation. The question is, was anything relevant to the case recorded that night . This case raising new legal questions about hightech devices that are on 24 7. The prosecuting Attorney Says it is incumbent on Law Enforcement officers to examine this data to determine if it has any relevance to the crime but bates attorney disagrees. Whatter theyre try to do is rather novel but deep invasion of privacy. Reporter amazon says they will not release data objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands, now as for that case the defendant is out on bail and the trial set to begin next year. Is alexa always recording what is going on. A great question. Alexa is always listening. It is not always recording but records when you say the wake word which is alexa. It stores it somewhere else. You have to go and delete that information. Its supposed to be helpful if you want to know when did i look up that recipe, you can go access that information.

Good morning. Good morning. How are you . Doing great. Better now that you are here. This was not your average car, 160,000 mercedes. What happened here . We know that the driver of the car got out to fill up. The tank being on the opposite side and as that was occurring some suspect drove up beside the car, got in the drivers seat and before the person could complete the process just drove off in the car before they could react. I think of all the times i pull up to the gas run in or a bad of funyons. How how much does this happen. Its on the uptick. In this particular area theres been increase in this, as well so we need to really be aware when were filling up at the pumps. So what can people do when theyre at the pump to protect themselves . The first thing is to be aware of your surroundings before you get out of the car. Look around and if you dont feel comfortable just drive off to another Convenience Store or gas pump to fill up. If you happen to do get out of your car because you do feel comfortable, continue to keep your head on a swivel and lock your car. Make sure you lock your car any time you get out as a precaution and then finally if you see someone come up to you, if youre out of your car and gassing up and filling up at the pumps, just walk away. No value of a car is worth your injury or your life so just walk away. Walk toward the front o people that can witness whats occurring and hopefully scare off any suspects. Good Safety Information. Not a lot of Safety Information about what you should do visavis funions. Or drive a minivan. Nobody seems to want that. This story hits too close to home.

People celebrating hanukkah as well and a lot of viewers are suffering from it. What exactly is family jet lag . Yes, it is a condition that a lot of people are experiencing with the physical and psychological drain of traveling with your family. Now, it can be caused by physical stressors like the travel, not getting enough sleep, changes in your schedule, you know, indulgences in your diet as well as psychological stressors such as, you know, wanting the holidays to be perfect or dealing with less than pleasant family members. Yeah, expectations can be a huge problem here. What do you recommend viewers do to avoid feeling exhausted while spending time with family during the holidays . Yes, so the first thing to do, take a timeout. Get some sleep, take a nap. Meditate. If nothing else just stop and take five deep breaths, the second thing is write a thank you note. Im not talking about the thank you note to aunt edna for yet another horrible Christmas Gift but an appreciation of someone in your life whether a friend or family member. Research shows when we experience gratitude the stress centers in our brain actually reduce activity. And then get moving. Exercise, go for a walk. Go to the gym. Jump on the bed.

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.

A look at the star who has no doubt left her mark on the Silver Screen. All i do is dream of you the whole night through she was the and the unsinkable molly brown.

Reporter even starring together in the upcoming hbo documentary bright lights that explores their unique relationship. Their bond strong to the end.

Reporter and back now with us is dr. Jen ashton. You just heard what her son todd said that she didnt get a chance to say goodbye and wanted to see her again. Broken heart syndrome is a thing. Its a real clinical condition. It usually refers to a temporary stunning of the heart muscle in someone with normal arteries in their heart usually in response to a big emotional shock, very, very different from a massive stroke. Now, what does extreme stress do to a person . Well, if youve ever had a loved one sick in the hospital, critically ill you know theres what i describe ace ripple the people who are touched by that persons illness or death then suffer their own process, theyre not sleeping well, not eating well. They can become dehydrated and forget to take their medications or miss them and when youre talking about an elderly person that can be a significant factor in kind of precipitating then Something Else on top of it. Weve had so many celebrity deaths this year and this week, why do you think we as a culture mourn these people we dont really know so deeply. I think thats a really interesting question and it is an incredible phenomenon that were all a part of whether youre watching the News Coverage or reporting it, i read a really fascinating article in newsweek just this morning that talks about the fact that we as a culture dont do well with death and grief and when we lose someone close to us its very frightening because we feel like were losing part of ourselves but when we mourn the loss of a celebrity, its a safe way to practice that grieving process and so for some of us it our toe into the process of grief and mourning in a way that doesnt really jeopardize us personally. That article on newsweek. Com fascinating. The argument is that when we mourn for a celebrity its a proxy mourning for losses we suffered in our own life that we didnt fully metabolize. In the buddhist culture they practice it a lot more than we do. I think theyre better at it. We have to remember every time we talk about a celebrity especially one like Carrie Fisher who struggled with bipolar, Substance Abuse, they bring awareness in the only to their lives but medical conditions that dont get a lot of attention. These people have played such a huge role in our lives and so much nostalgia that comes back when we lose them. Coming up why the hottest gift of the Holiday Season, the hatchimal, well, its in hot water. No one knows where theyre from. To the Grocery Store anything but simple.

Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

Reporter brittany bakers 4yearold opened the box christmas morning. I want it to hatch. Reporter but she found it wouldnt hatch.

But spin master the company that makes it saying last night, hatchimals communicate by speaking their own unique language which is made up of random sounds and by making other noises.

I thought it was just a behindthescenes gift. Youre welcome, iowa. Thank you very much. Rob. I took my five steps. Good transition by the way. It is time for the new year, new you for new years. This morning were talking about hair. Here to show us popular looks is Takisha Sturdivant stylist to stars like kerry washington, gabrielle union. Weve got three hairstyles well go through. The first one you have is hair down with a top knot which weve seen on j. Lo. Do you have to have long hair to do this. No, you dont. Flip marcie around. I love on the spinner. Vanna white. She has shoulder length hair and its very easy to do it. Take the hairclip and extensions and clip it in, spring waves and gives it this wave and add in neutrogena conditioner and twist it on top with a bobby pin just twist like normal. Yeah, you can put a ponytail or twist it and then put two large bobby pins. Thats all . Its nice and loose and looks beautiful. You look gorgeous. The next look is the braided ponytail. Are you ready for this spin. Youve seen it on kerry washington. The wrong way. You have one job and that is to spin. Weve seen it on beyonce, kerry washington. What did you do. If you dont know how to braid it is so easy, just buy the braid. Buy the braid and you can pin it on. Can you pin one on sara. Oh, we would gather all the hair together basically and then take the pin. Looks great, sara. And it would basically be like this. Oh, my gosh. Or we can take a drawstring with the comb and attach i had here. Not strange at all with that color distinction. And pull the string. Its all about the color. The color gives it a pop. Looks great on you, brandi. So last we have anna and added flair to a hairstyle. Spin it the right way, sara. This is the hairstyle weve seen on Jennifer Goodwin and jennifer hudson. You gave it more pop. I chopped it up and all about a pixie cut. What a great way to, you know, add to the hairstyle with a little bling so thats what i did on the side. Great for new years. Great to like recreate yourself at home. Beautiful. I used the hair straighteninger by daphne and blew it out some and here it is. Can anyone do the look . Some people say you have to have the right face. I cant do it but if i was like a little smaller. Can sara do it . I have a big jaw. Sorry. I mean i wouldnt go as short as a pixie but i would do a shorter bob. Like more of a shag. Petite features, thats a good cut for you. You look great in it. You look beautiful. Thank you so much showing us these looks. Which one are you going for. I was going to ask. Are those clips are they onetime use. You can keep it in. Its like you can use it over and over and over again. I can show you quickly. The clip, with the clipins as well, the extension, open the comb and snap it in. I can show you quickly. Is it tricky to match the color. No. Can we do it in 15 seconds. She can. Shes a professional. One, two, three. You can always use a little this isnt contrast. This is a mix of color, all right. But, you know, we have blond. Its all how you wear it. I wear it with confidence. Its all about that. Takisha, happy new year. Thank you so much. Just ahead, so excited about this performance.
