that is the one who potentially could attack the russian federation. he also talked a couple of times about charges that russia hacked the american information. not so he says, not surprisingly. and he offered some cutting words to the democrats saying they were just trying to find the culprit somewhere else, or as he put it, quote, the party that loses always tries to pass the buck. alex?

>> well, it is an absolute last stance. and you know, i use the word unpredictable. you want to be unpredictable. look, nuclears should be off the table. but will there be a time when it could be used? >> the trouble is when you said that -- >> i'll be the last one to use nuclear. i'll be the last one. believe me. i think that once the nuclear alternative happens, it's over. at the same time, we have to be prepared. i can't take anything off the table. >> trump at one point suggested he was open to the possibility of japan and saudi arabia obtaining nuclear weapons, and said in a cnn town hall quote maybe it's going to have to be time to change you have so many other countries now having it. alex? >> margaret, the president-elect also weighed in on a u.n. resolution which would denounce israeli settlements in territory claimed by the palestinians. he urged the obama administration to reject it. what are the implications of that? >> well presidents elect typically avoid publicly contradicting the silting president. but hours before that scheduled u.n. vote yesterday trump publicly pressured president obama. he tweeted the u.s. should reverse its long-standing policy condemning israeli set mngt building in the west bank, and then he went a step further by speaking with egypt's president, who ultimately agreed to delay the vote. so traditionally american presidents like to say there's only one president at a time. but now they're contradicting each other on the world stage. and that, at a minimum, is causing confusion. >> margaret, thanks. ivanka trump was harassed by two strangers on a jet blue flight. a social media photo shows the president-elect's daughter sitting on the plane yesterday. one of the men reportedly said her father is ruining the country. the men were kicked off the plane before it took off from new york's jfk airport. security was waiting for ivanka trump and her familiar ply when the plane landed in san francisco. they were taken to a private jet to complete their trip to hawaii. a san francisco airport spokesman says the secret service requested the security detail before the incident. an arkansas man is in custody accused of killing a 3-year-old in an apparent road rage shooting. police arrested gary holmes last night, for the death of acen king. he faces one count of capital murder and two counts of a terrorist act. the 3-year-old was killed saturday night in little rock. he was riding with his grandmother and little brother to a department store when the gunman pulled up behind them and opened fire. syria's government is in full control of aleppo this morning for the first time in four years. the last of the rebel fighters yesterday left the even part of the city. this new drone video shows the widespread destruction of aleppo. experts say it will take years to rebuild, and cost billions of dollars. tens of thousands of residents have fled the city in the past week alone. among them a little girl whose account of the war on social media drew a huge global following. holly williams spoke with her in turkey. she's in istanbul. holly, good morning. >> good morning. we've been following that little girl on twitter along with hundreds of thousands of other people who were moved by her story of survival in aleppo. bana alabed has just lost a front tooth and loves harry potter. so far so normal for a 7-year-old. except just four days ago, bana and her family escaped the nightmarish violence of aleppo. and before that, as they were under siege bana and her mother ran a twitter account that turned her in a social media sensation. with more than 300,000 followers. it shows the devastation of war through a child's eyes. the terror when the syrian regime's airstrikes rained down on them. eventually they told us, destroying their home. now in turkey, bana's finally safe from the bombs, and she's making plans for the future. what do you want to do when you grow up?

hope is really important. look what is happening now. the darkest day of the year was two days ago, right? for ancient men and women, they would every year say, is it going to keep getting darker? is it going to keep getting darker? or is the light going to come back? and, of course, it does around this time of year. that's the sign, the natural sign that, what, life trumps death, no pun intended, when i use that word. goodness trumps evil. good is victorious over bad. life conquers death. that is hope. nature gives us hope. super nature gives us more hope. jews, our jewish neighbors, christians are celebrating the triumph of light over darkness. which for us is the ultimate reason for hope. if we only count on ourselves, if we only count in the world and creation that we live in, then eventually we're going to lose hope. but if we look to god, we're never going to lose our hope, and that is the meaning of hawn c hanukkah and christmas. it sounds like unification as well. that's this time of year, you spoke about the church can bring people together, but can the church do that?

>> how do you keep the peace? you did it remarkably well that night. >> i didn't know if i was a bridge or a wall. but here's what i think why we seem to have come closest to that at the christmas season, the hanukkah season, is because kind of naturally we're thinking about those eternal value s. for, like, at least one season during the year, we're thinking about the noble side of human virtue. we're thinking about -- we're thinking about what makes us different, what makes us unique. we're thinking about these uplifting virtues like peace and reconciliation and harmony. we're filled with good meaning, with good memories and we kind of got some hopes and dreams for the future with the new year. this is the time of the year where those noble enlightening, uplifting sentiments that sometimes are buried deep down come to the surface and i think that's what makes tables, christmas trees, family parties, so uplifting. >> you mentioned the pontifax. they have been talking about immigrants and refugees. you had two refugee families at your catholic mass last year. >> and we should have some this year too. >> what is the message you give folks?
