>> cosby's attorney monique presley is with us from washington. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> what was your client's reaction when he heard he was being charged? >> this didn't come as any surprise to us. we have been cooperating with the montgomery county d.a.'s office since we learned of the charges initially. >> they are saying there is significant evidence in this testimony that was unsealed by the judge. >> well, everyone can see that testimony. available, as well as all others. you know that this was deposition testimony that was the subject of a confidentiality agreement and was supposed to remain sealed, but, instead, not just the portions that were improperly released based on the judge's decision, but also the information that was illegally gained through the release of a court reporter to entify. >> however, he does admit to buying quaaludes to use on women, obtaining these quaaludes to use on women. how are you going to defend that in court? >> now, why would we have to defend that in court? that is an admission he makes about offering quaaludes t t two specific individuals in the 1970s. even being made any more. they are are literally off the market. it's not something that could even be obtained and i'm certain even this hungry dachlt trying to keep a campaign promise isn't going to assert that cosby has somewhere hiding in his medicine cabinet quaaludes that are 30, 40, almost 50 years old and that was being offered to andrea constand many years ago. >> many women have accused were client of similar acts regarding sexual assault. >> and that is incorrect. more than 50 women have not accused my client of similar ts. it's easy for people likeyour selves to say women have done that but that is not true. >> many are coming through the press to say mr. cosby sexually assaulted them and many of them have the exact same stories. how do you plan to defend that in court or will you try to stop court? >> it certainly isn't admissible in court. 50 women have come forward and saying they did not have the same story. some of them say he rubbed against them or in front of their breasts at a party is not saying they were in an ongoing consensual relationship and was druggege they aren't the same thing. what this d.a. has to do is prove the facts of this case. >> you know the prosecutors saying the judge allowed previous evidence from other cases. you have to be pre that. >> well, there aren't previous other cacases. what you mean -- >> there are allegations as you know andnd a wide r range of >> yes. and those a are all allegationsns for which is there n n corroboratining evidence. allegations frorom decadeses ago, bothered to go in and make testimony, then we will deal with that at that time. >> he took a kanecane with him to court. is his current health status part of your defense? >> his current health status doesn't have anything to do with the defense for this unsubstantiated charge. his current health status is that he is a 78-year-old man who they have chosen to charge. ethan couch is still in mexico. ben tracy is at lax with a look at theegal maneuvers delaying his return. >> reporter: good morning. mother and son were separated wednesday when tanya couch was kicked out of mexico and deported to the u.s. she arrived in a style unlike most people returning from mexico.returning fromom mexico. handcuffed tonya couch was escorted out of los angeles international airport early this morning. her son ethan left behind in mexico. video from cbs dallas station ktvt appears to show the 18-year-old in a dark baseball hat and quote moved to a larger immigration facility in mexico city. the two were detained on monday calling for their deportation. according to u.s. marshals the mother and son obtained local representation who filed an protection order for an appeal. >> it's the court to issue an order to stop the proceedings. deported tonya couch for being in the country illegally and ethan couch is going through a process that could keep him there for several weeks. >> the couch's have legal counsel and it seems to me if they wanted to, they could pay them as much money they want to to drag this out as long as they want to. >> reporter: earlier this week surveillance video obtained by cbs news captured the pair in puerto vallarta before they were taken into custody. couch killed four people in a drunk driving accident in 2015. his defense say he suffered from affluenza and saying it was from a his privileged upbringing. he is expected to serve time in a juvenile facility until april when he turns 19. >> welcome to the juvenile law in texas. it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: now, tonya couch will likely face third-degree helping her son e is in arnold, missouri, south of st. here. hopefully, that one will be preserved. but take a look what we are seeing this morning. this is much higher, this water, this is the merrimack river overflow. the river is a long way that way. this water is much higher than what we saw here yesterday. the result is neighborhoods like flooded, people have been evacuated, as the rivers, both of them, the merrimack and mississippi rise to levels higher than they have ever been. in fenton, raging waters washed away this home. in st. louis last night, cars slogged through a crowded i-55. the merrimack to flood level trafc on the interstate backed up for miles. >> nowhere you can go. you know?

"the washington post" says north pole temperatures reached the melting point on wednesday. warm weather is blamed on the same deadly storm system that brought tornadoes and flooding to the u.s. a buoy near the top of the world recorded temperarares that that is 50 degrees above average for late december. we want to go back now to the bill cosby case. it is the first criminal charge filed against him. cosby is accused of drugging and groping a woman in 2004. the 78-year-old seemed frail as he made his way into court on wednesday. he carried a cane and stumbled on a curb. cbs news legal expert rikki klieman is with us now. she is a former prosecutor and a defense attorney. good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard his defenseton pretty much shrug off the issue about obtaining the quaaludes that he admitted in his deposition, said that she didn't need to defend that. do you agree with that? >> i think what you have in his defense lawyers are great lawyers who are really fierce advocates and doing what they should be doing now. when you look at the quaalude issue, the deposition that became public in july from a complaining witness, this alleged victim andrea constand, does not say that he sexually assaulted her by the use of drugs. what it does say is that he did get quaaludes to use with women for sex. now, that takes us in a whole, what the lawyers would call a frolic of their own. that is not a facetious comment but a lawyer comment. because back in the '70s and '80s, quaaludes were often used by consenting adults so that is what this lawyer is talking about. however, i think the quaaludes are least of anyone's worries when defending bill cosby today because there is so much else that the cosby lawyers have got to attem to keep out of evidence, and what about all those prospective jurors have kind of sexual conduct. >> is that an issue? >> i think it's an issue because you ha to have people who have not heard of this or people who simply say i've heard about all of this but i can cast it aside. it is very hard to cast aside the notion that there are 40 or 50 other women out there. it even came up in your interview with the lawyer, because the vast majority of the public believes that all of these other alleged victims are people who suffered exactly the same fate that this woman, andrea constand, said she suffered, even though the details may be different. and, by the way, the devil is in the details here. so yououe a defense lawyer in this case. if you are the defense lawyer, what do you have to do? 2016 is going to be the year of motions in this case. the defense has got to be fast and furious and slow and deliberate all at the same time. every single thing that they do got to go tohe court early and say keep it out. try the numbers. only what happened between andrea constand and bill cosby. >> one of the things that makes this case so interesting two cases here. the wider umbrella case with all of the allegations from all of the other women and the particulars of this case. monique presley doesn't want to talk about any other women right now. >> of course, she doesn't. >> the question is how much do they have to? >> the real question is how this judge will rule. a conservative judge would like to get a conviction that does not get reversed on appeal. so will a conservative judge say i'm keeping out what we call all of the prior bad acts and all of the other alleged victims and only let thaha inhould mr. cosby testify, or will a more open judge say, hey, it's a common scheme plan and it's all going in. >> my suspicion we may be talking to you more about this case in 2016. >> i'm keeping the file. >> rikki klieman, thank you very much. >> happy year. >> activists are applauding a new law signed by president obama this week. itutlaws microbeads that are used in personal care products. demarco morgan shows us how the particles making us clean are making the rivers dirty. >> reporter: it is known as the microbead free water asked and passed congress by bipartisan support and to eliminate tinyy plasascs many of us use every day. microbeads are tiny pieces of plastics found in many health and beauty products including soap and body scrub and toothpaste and used to exfoliate or add polish. they are are a big concern for environmental scientists. they say the tiny particles are a source off ocean and lake pollution. >> we know the fish from our and ts going back tour face and body. >> reporter: he found microbeads ininhe san francisco bay and in high concentrations in the great lakes. not all water treatment plants are able to filter them out. >> they are absorbing industrial chemicals, pest sides from farms and even oil drops from cars will stick to these micro plastics and microbeads. at that point, they can enter the food chain. >> reporter: a single cosmetic product can contain up to 300,000 nonbiodegradable microbeads. in september they were banned. assembly member is thrilled that congress is following california's lead. >> it's very significant, because you're going to have 50 states doing the same thing. i have no d dbt that this is going to spread now to other countries and the longer we have these pollutants in the environment, the harder it is to take action to effectively clean up after them. surprisingly quickly but not immediate. the new federal law prohibits the manufacture of products of microbeads july 1st, 2016. >> i read that microbeads can cover a tennis court daily. >> these products are all over the place. >> but i do like them. therapy great for the skin. >> something wrong with everything. let's he just put that out there. >> italy's government is fighting the mafia.

"the new york times" science columnist john tierney is in ourur toyota green room with simple strategies. box office critics in 2015 talk about "star wars" phenomenon and other stories you shouldn't miss. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "syracuse post" standard says sprint and verizon customers have a deadline today to submit a refund claim. the company settled allegations of cramming earlier this year. that refers to putting unauthoriz third-party charges on customers' bills. customers who beat today's deadline c c get share of the 1 158 million dollar payout. report is released. consumers were asked to answer which are the most testifying. tesla model s is number one and followed by the corvette and caiman. the least satisfied is r re owe and sentra reason. a cat found two weeks ago with a badly damaged leg that had to be amputated and it was adopted wednesday by a couple who decided the cat would be the perfect companion for their 2-year-old daughter scarlett. scarlett's arm was amputated last year after she was diagnosed with cancer. the miami herald says the college football playoffs are taking over new year's eve. clemson plays oklkloma in the orange bowl this afternoon and alabama takes on michigan state in the cotton bowl and the winners of those games meet on january 11th in the national a judge dropped charges against a woman who claimed her body is a brewery. her lawyer says his client's blow alcohol level can violate the legal limit even when she has nothing to drink. rare condition is called auto brewery syndrome and caused by high levels of yeast in her digestive system. dark lickers are more likely to cause a hangover. is that true? >> i don't know. >> eat a hardy meal before you start drinking and stop drinking a couple of hours before you go to bed or maybe don't overdrink. >> one glass is good. millions of us this morning are deciding what changes to make in the coming year. but research shows that 36% of the people will break their newew year's rgs byesolutions by the end of january and 56% by the end of how do we set ourselves up for success with the odds stacked against us? "the new york times" science columnist john tierney is author of "willpower." thank you for joining us. you say we start out w wh the best of intentions but with the worst of strategies. how do we do this? >> people, too often, overdo it and they overestimate their own will willpower. the first bit of advice is make one new year's resolution and focus on that and after you do that, do neighbor something else. >> maybe i don't want to lose ten pounds but maybe one pound a week? >> you should set specific goals instead of saying i want to save money or i want to lose weight, exactly say that i want to save $200 a month and one pound a week. after you set that one very clear specific goal, you have to monitor yourself. that is really as important as setting the goal. so that if you want to spend less money, keep track of it every week. if you want to lose weight, get that is one of the few clinically p pven ways for losing weight. >> baby steps? >> exactly. >> if you overestimate your own willpower can you get help from other people? does that help? >> outsourcing and self-control and controlling your willpower is the key. science used to think willpower was a metaphor. what they found iseally is this form of mental energy and it gets depleted as you exert self-control and resist temptation and gets depleted as you make decisions. there is a condition called a decision fatigue and that is we wrote about it in o o bobo. two executives, bark obama and mark zuckerberg of facebook, they both resolve to try to -- try to eliminate small decisions from their lives so they both started wearing the same thing to work every day. one of them would wear a dark suit and the other would wear a gray t-shirt. >> you compartmentalize? >> actly. that leaves them with more energy with more willpower for the rest of the stuff in their lives. >> we can learn from people who have good self-control because they use less willpower. >> exactly. when they track people throughout the day they found the most disciplined people use less willpower than other people because they structure their lives to avoid temptations. they don't go all you can eat buffets or keep a bowl of candy under their desk. all of us can doo thth. instead of getting up every morning and deciding whether or not you're going to work out, you can schedule a workout with your friends and then that way you have to show up to do it and it's not a decision that leaves you with a little more willpower -- >> or go to bed in your workout clothes. you wake up and you have to go! >> exactly. you talk abobo candy. one experiment that you willpower with a bowl of m&ms. what happened? >> some were told they couldn't have any m&ms at all and some said you can have these and just not now. a clever experiment they did the experiment and left them in the bowl afterwards and thinking the experiment was over. they found peoplewho had told themselves i'm not going to have it now but i can have it later, those people were the best at resisting the m&ms because -- that is a strategy when the know? >> right. >> don't say i'm never having that again. just say not tonight, i'll have it the next time. >> maybe one bite if you can hold back, right? >> yes. >> you say that social media and online rousesources can be helpful for people. >> keeping track of yursourself is one thing but a lot of appears that will do the grunt work for you. you can post results at facebook groups and people are watching what you do. you can tweet stuff. great appears on a website called the quantified self that will monitor how many steps you you're burning and then websites you can actually post your new year's resolution and have someone monitor it for you and there could be a financial penalty when you lapse. >> the point is that you're putting it out there. >> right. >> you're saying, okay, i'm going to do this and then you sort of feel like, boy, if i don't do it i'm disappointing a lot of people. >> have you people enforcing and they are using their willpower to make you do something and self-control. >> do you have a resolution? >> oh, please. my list is like 50. >> just one, just one! just one! >> next 15 minutes we will all come up with our resolution. >> can we meet back here next year to see how we do? >> fail. >> john tierney, thank you for joining us. block busters are packing theaters but smaller movies are generating the oscar buzz. think will clean up during awardo give it to me i'm worth it baby i'm worth it "star wars: the force awakens" is lifting hollywood to its best year in box office history. the studio has sold $11 billion worth of tickets in 2015. the seventh episode of the franchise could move to number two this weekend on theist of highest domestic grossing movies of all time. awakens trails four films. >> but this morning's box office conversation goes beyond the block busters. the golden globe awards are less than two weeks awaw. carol leads the film categories with five nominations and followed by the big short and steve jobs all with four and revenant. dana stevens is with here along with matt singer who is managing editor and film critic for screen crush. 2015 is part of 2016 because sgars is still killing it at the box office. no spoilers but till lives up to the hype. >> the stars are at war, we will say that much. >> the stars are at war but as george lucas pointed out yesterday it's not about spaceships but it's about family. reception becacae finally after 38 years, is that how long since the first one? rings those same bells again and i think it's nostalgic for fans who loved it back then and creates a franchise for new viewers and lets "ussus forget about the early sequels that george lucas created. >> will it go past "avi astar"? >> i think so. i was seeing a picture in seattle had a sign up we are sold out through january for "star wars." so i think it's not going to be very long before it is the all-time grocer, at least domestically. it's a huge, huge hit. >> it probably with win this weekend, right? >> by this weekend the number one movie of 2015. >> does it enter the best picture conversation at all? it's a good movie. >> a good question. now they have expanded that popular storms like "star wars" maybe but loovera lot of contenders in space. >> "carol" has the no golden globe nominations. >> that was my favorite single movie of the year and i'm happy and it's getting rewards recognition but doesn't seem like oscar nomination to me because of "the force awakens." i think the golden globes have recognized that and critic groups have recognized that. >> a big year for women on screen. >> i was thinking about making this my top ten list this year. when i looked at who was making the movies, only two of them have been directed by a woman. i don't think there are any big nominees out there for the oscars that are directed by women, right? >> no. >> no woman up for best director. >> presumably, yeah. that's a hurdle that still has to be cleared for sure. spotlight has gotten attention and a lot of people love it. is it the front-runner for best picture? >> i would think so. to me it has the most thing voters tend to look for in a best picture winner. great ensemble and great actors and great screen play and it's about something. "star wars" is great, we love it but i think it's the kind of movie that voters can vote to and say hollywood can do more than "star wars" and do more than super heroes and make a movie that is interesting and compelling but also important and it has a story that has some real value and some substance to ititnd movies tend to win best picture. >> especially behind the scenes and through every step of what it takes to create the story which may be on paper doesn't sound so sexy. >> it's true. it isn't the kind of movie that is and really grabs you on paper. but then you watch it and it is so compelling. you know the outcome of the story too. that is the amazing g ing is that you're watching it and you know the ending and you're still so invested. quinton tarantino's movie. is it out? >> i think it's just coming out now on wide release. attention.n. has gotten a lot of attention for a while as all of quinton tarantino's movies get. >> it's cinematically smashing. i suggest you see it the road version they say is old school with an intermission and overture. it's very violent and very gory. if you like tarantino you probably should see it but it's very stomach churning. >> i liked it and it is a movie. feel like in an age people are not watching theaters in the movie as much and watching them onheir phones and ipads. this is an event and harkens back to a time when movies were big, right?
