Very little prep time needed to form that chemistry. Then tom cruise after his stunt for Mission Impossible went wrong. See his attempt at an even crazier scene. Thats ahead. But first this weekend in the entertainment tonight birthdays, which transformer star did not have to audition for his role in the film . Is it shia labeouf, josh duhamel, or afi sure had a lot on my mind. My 30year marriage. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . But wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned 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 right for me.

Its kind of hard to see there, but that really is tom cruise clinging nearly 2,000 feet above the ground in norway last month for the sixth Mission Impossible film. We cannot wait for it to come out in 2018. But it was quite a different scene during filming back in august when the 55yearolds stunt didnt go exactly as planned. The point of impact on top of a sixstory building in london. The hard body hit resulted in a broken ankle that occurred when tom hit the mark at the weve learned cruise is back on set and shooting in london. In the dramatic footage, tom does pull himself up within seconds of impact. He limps towards the camera operator, waves his hand and pulls on the safety harness. After catching his breath, he is pulled back to the other side. Tom can be seen holding on to a crew member for support, then staggers off unassisted. Paramount tells e. T. The film remains on schedule and will open next july 27th, adding, quote, tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and cant wait to share the film with everyone next summer. And check this out. We obtained footage from an earlier attempted stunt. That time toms torso hits the side before he hangs suspended in the air. He does not appear to be in pain or limp once pulling himself up. How do they allow to you do this with the insurance. I dont even ask. Tom is an action star that insists on always doing his own assistants. What were you thinking . Yo i was thinking [ bleep ]. Fall, you know. I dont want to fall. But youre so focused at the task at hand. This summer, e. T. Was with the 55yearold star. He discussed the stamina needed to complete another onscreen stunt, a zero gravity airplane scene in the mummy reboot. I feel it when im doing it. Just physically draining doing that. You cant prepare for it. You just dont know whats going to happen. Toms injury is not expected to have an impact on shooting of the top gun sequel. That film is expected to start filming sometime next year and wont premiere until july of 20 19 19d. I wonder if that man will do a movie where his two feet are on the ground all the time. Lets talk about Chris Hemsworth. Expect to see another side of thor in 2018 as he star as long side wife, elsa pataky. Heres a look at 12 strong. The 12 of you will be the first ones to fight back. Chris plays a speci f home to go off and fight terrorists. I dont care how long youre gone as long as you come back. 12 strong is based on a true story. I hung out with chris on the set in new mexico. What was it like having elsa on set . Very little prep time needed to form that chemistry. Were big fans. Wed love it if your wife was in this. It was like a working holiday for elsa and i. Elsa was safe at home the day chris went to war. Were outnumbered. 50,000 taliban and al qaeda fighters. Were on our own. Its an explosive. That wall will completely explode. Throughout the film, they used about 8,000 pounds of explosives. No messing around. Finger on the trigger. Oh, god. Whoa. Im coming home.

In the past, the honor given to sons and daughters of hollywood royalty was known as miss or mr. Golden globe. Sylvester stallones three daughters were the previous honorees and had this advice for simone. Be confident and dont trip because thats the one thing that we were most scared about.

Top of putins to do list in the new year, main taint offensive to convince President Trump to lift the sanctions hammering russias economy while hoping Robert Muellers investigation into russias ties to the u. S. Plan. The Prime Minister. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has a plan too. Well be delivering the brexit we voted for. Teresa may struggling to negotiate britains exit from the european union. People may have voted for it. But not the endless bureaucratic wrangling on the 50 billion dollar price tag. Your choice. Then there is the tricky matter of President Trump. Because that relationship. A year ago when teresa may walked hand in hand at the white house, britons wondered whether a high profile president ial visit like the one the obamas enjoyed was in the offing. But no. The risk of embarrassing backlash is just too high. However, a low key working visit early in the new year, is on the agenda to open americas new billion dollar embassy in protests that erupted around the world in recent weeks am li tie the outrage that drove palestinians to clash with Israeli Security forces. It was all sparked by President Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. The status of the city is so controversial, because it is home to some of the most sacred sites on earth to christians and jews and muslims while packed incredibly close to gechlgether. The church is over there. And over here western wall beyond it, golden doichl the dome of the rock. Palestinians warned, mr. Trumps policy shift would be detrimental to peace. He asked veteran israeli diplomat, about the future of u. S. Role as mediator. Palestinians say, the u. S. Has effectively, disqualified itself as a negotiator. Ask for assistance. South you are saying they cant replace them . Of course not. It is syria that made the advance this past year, defeat isis in raqqa. And terror groups. And damascus, told us that psychologically, would stay strong as long as the leader assad is strong. With such support, president assad shows no sign of backing down. After more than six years of war. Iraqs Prime Minister declared victory in the war against isis in his country. While, iran continue to grow its power. That is seen as a threat to saudi arabia. And crown prince mohammad is consolidating power and waging a high profile war on corruption. In europe, the vote on independence from referendum deemed illegal by madrid.

I am ben tracy in beijing, where the biggest story of 2017 is likely going to be the biggest story of 2018. That of course is the threat posed by north korea. After testing more than 20 missiles this year, north korea says it now has ability to strike any city in the United States with a nuclear weapon. Kim jonguns regime may not have actually perfected the technology for intercontinental ballistic missile. But the u. S. Government concedes it could by the end of the new year. Theyre getting dangerously close to being able to achieve this capability. Paul handley, former member of the u. S. National security council. Director of the Carnegie Center in beijing. When you look ahead to 2018 do you see this heading more towards military conflict or diplomatic resolution. If you listen to the language. Coming out from the trump administration, you can see that, theyre potentially making a case for, for war. And the u. S. Military is making sure theyre ready to fight one. Continuing to stage large scale militarier exsighs in asia, that in fur yalt north we flew with the u. S. Air force in japan during a training exercise. Given the rising tensions do thor exsighs feel more important . They do. Definitely, a game changer now. Those weapons can also easily reach south korea which is hosting the Winter Olympics in february, just 40 miles from the abort bor border with the north. The hope is tensions wont overshadow the games. Security drills are under way to protect athletes and fans from any potential threat. And, then there is china. Most powerful chinese leader since chairman mao. Building up chinas military and expanding his countrys influence by forming new partnerships in asia and taking a leadership role on issues such as climate change. China rolled out the red carpet for President Trump last but that relationship may quickly sour over unresolved trade issues. There is a sense that the economic and trade relationship is not, fair enough, its not reciprocal enough. I see. Darker clouds ahead on the u. S. China relationship. But the darkest cloud looms over north korea. Where in 2018. A young dictator may decide whether there is war or peace. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Ram.
