That were the United States of america, and you will not mess around with our election system. The Obama Administration retaliates against russian hacking. Of course, the president elect can reverse all of this. Even those who are sympathetic to president obama are saying that part of the reason he did this today is to box in president elect trump.

As you wake up in the west russia is threatening to retaliate for new sanctions imposed by president obama in something of a parting shot at moscow. President Vladimir Putin said russia will not respond by expelling american diplomats. Putin says in a statement, i quote, we will not resort to irresponsible kitchen diplomacy, end quote. U. S. Believes russia launched Cyber Attacks to influence the president ial election. In response the state department ordered 35 officials to leave the u. S. , closed two russian compounds and sanctioned two of russias top intelligence agencies. Jeff pegues is outside the Russian Embassy in washington, one of the targets of the u. S. Action. Jeff, good morning. Good morning, some of the russian officials ordered to leave the country worked in the embassy behind me on thursday they were given 72 hours to leave after the Obama Administration retaliated for what it says was widespread russian Cyber Attacks. The clock is ticking for 35 government officials not only from the Russian Embassy in washington, but also the russian consulate in San Francisco whove been ordered to leave the country. Its outside the norms of international behavior. The president wanted to make sure they cut it out. Reporter president obama announced a list of sanctions as punishment for what u. S. Officials say was russians attempts to influence the election with a series of Cyber Attacks. Two russian intelligence agencies are being identified and sanctioned for their role in the hacking, along with three companies and four individuals who allegedly assisted. And two russian cyber criminals, both on the fbis most wanted list, have also been sanctioned. The Administration Says Evgeni Bogachev has stolen more than 1 00 million from u. S. Entities. Russian owned compounds, one in new york and one in maryland, will also be closed to personnel by noon today. The white house says additional covert actions against the russians will not be announced because they are highly classified. They dont represent the totality of our response. Reporter u. S. Intelligence agencies say the russians were engaged in an effort to harm Hillary Clintons campaign thereby helping the campaign of president elect donald trump. Investigators say a hacking unit known as apc28 targeted Democratic Party officials by sending malicious emails in the spring of 2016 that tricked recipients into changing their passwords. U. S. Intelligence officials believe this hack, likely gave russian operatives access to the information of senior Democratic Party officials which was then leaked to the press and publicly disclosed. Russian attempts to undermine western democracies are going to be a problem with us for a very long time. Reporter longtime russian expert Clifford Kupchan has met clinton personally on many occasions and believes these sanctions wont prove effective in stopping russian Cyber Attacks. Cyber warfare involves false information, it involves hacking and hes doing really well with it. Hes winning. I dont think its going to stop. Reporter u. S. Investigators believe Russian Intelligence Services have been carrying out widespread Cyber Espionage for about a decade on think tanks, universities, and corporations, as well. Jeff, thanks. President elect donald trump moved quickly to put out a statement on the russia sanctions. The statement said its time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. Nevertheless, in the interest of our country, and its great people, i will meet with leaders of the Intelligence Community next week in order to be updated on the facts of the situation. Mr. Trump has the option of lifting the new sanctions when he becomes president three weeks from today. Jan crawford has details of the trump teams reaction. Jan, good morning. Reporter good morning. In the past mr. Trump has questioned allegations accusing russia of hacking to influence the election. And while his latest statement doesnt say that, members of the Incoming Trump administration are raising concerns about the hacking issue, and president obamas response in his last days in office. Foreign governments shouldnt be hacking american institutions, period. Incoming white house chief of staff Reince Priebus condemned any cyber attack against the u. S. But said the Trump Administration would like to see evidence of the russian hack that prompted the new sanctions against moscow. It would be nice if we could get to a place where the Intelligence Community, in unison, can tell us what it is that had been going on so that we can response, and were going to get to that. The counselor to the president elect Kellyanne Conway expressed concern over reports that the sanctions may be more of a political power play by the Obama Administration. Even the New York Times characterized it as such that this may be an attempt to box him in. Thats not the way the peaceful transitions of administrations work in our great democracy. Reporter white house officials insist the measures are to protect Core National security interests. The next president wants to lift sanctions against senior russian Intelligence Units to make it easier for them to interfere with our elections, then he can go ahead and do so. We just dont think that will make much sense. Mr. Trump should be glad that he wasnt the one that came under pressure to do it himself. Foreign policy expert mike ohanlon says trumps attitude could be beneficial for the u. S. Going forward. Im hopeful that trump in a wise way can turn over a new leave and not be naive about putin doing us any favors but still try to take some of the venom out of the relationship. Now if president elect trump does chooses to overturn the latest sanctions against russia he could face opposition from both sides of the aisle. A number of democrats and republican lawmakers have voiced concerns over russias alleged action. Josh . Le. Jan crawford in washington. Thank you. John heilemann is the managing editor of bloomberg politics. John, good to see you. Happy new year. Happy new year. By the time we see each other again it will be 2017. So donald trump in the last two days has tweeted for people to get on with their lives, to move on, to bigger and better things, yesterday promised to neat with members of the Intelligence Community with whom he has been at odds here in recent weeks. What do you make of it all . This is a rare, one of a couple of rare situations in which trump sees himself, his political interests, are not in alignment with the republican party. So there are places where on the question of russia, on the question of business conflicts, these are places where you start to get pushback from republican members of the senate. The democrats are not Donald Trumps problem at least in the short run. The problem that he has is with traditional institutional republicans and this is a place where he is somewhat how far he goes, we dont know. But where hes at least coming to grips with the reality that he at least has to move a little bit towards the more traditional stance as president , say okay i have to take it seriously, theres bipartisan agreement this is a big problem, im going to at least make prefunker to effort to peer like im taking this seriously as incoming president. John, the administrations prespons is being described as the strongest american response ever taken to state sponsored cyber attack. Do you think that president obama didnt actually do enough on this issue . Hes already faced criticism for not acting sooner. There will always be now, f forever, people who look back at the election of 2016 and ask the question of what would have happened, the United States government did name russia as the perpetrators of cyber of a cyberwar fare in the middle of an election, an attempt to kind of, at the time back in october, but, we didnt take action at that time. The president didnt weigh in in a strong way, in a vocal way, at the time, even though the Intelligence Community did, and the question of what would have played out in october into the election had the administration gone fully there. Done Something Like this at the time, will always be an open question. And for a lot of democrats, particularly loyal democrats who think in some way that Hillary Clinton should be president of the United States, they will always wonder whether barack obama was too restrained in october trying to stay out of we heard Kellyanne Conway referencing this front page New York Times article saying the Obama Administration is trying to box in the president elect. What does that mean for our viewers . And do you think thats actually the case . Well, we have seen on a variety of policies fronts the Obama Administration openly an questions of environmental regulation, in other areas, trying to say, you know, were going to try to lock in the things that president obama achieved over the course of eight years. This is an area where i think, you know, there will be theres no doubt that the president is doing what he this is right, and this was an unprecedented thing that happened. The attempts of russia to intervene in american election. I think that these sanctions can be overturned. Donald trump could walk away from them. But theres no doubt that theres a marker being laid down here that says look, if youre going to do this, if youre going to roll these sanctions back, theres going to be a lot of questions, theres going to be potential political costs. So yeah, in that sense, the Obama Administration is trying to trying to say, this is not a partisan issue. This is an issue of National Security and mr. Trump if youre going to deviate from these sanctions, you are going to be doing it in a way thats going to look political to people and that will have some costs to you as president. Quickly, don, weve seen donald trump invoke president obama in glowing tones. But this transition seems to be less smooth and perhaps less peaceful by the day. Yes. Although it is funny to see trump on twitter sort of doing his waynes world thing yesterday. Thought things were going well. Not. Then coming out in front of reporters and saying were having a great conversation. Things are going great. Theres a little bit of a bipolar trump right now which is the trump on twitter still speaking in kind of the loud, technicolor tones to his base. And then the slightly more president ial trump who appears when he does occasionally come out and take some questions from reporters. But theres no question that the rosy glow of that transition from the first few days has gotten a little bit less rosy as we get closer and closer to inauguration. Heilemann, party on. Thank you, john. Well Northern New England is digging out from its strongest storm in about two years. The noreaster dumped heavy snow on many roads leading to dozens of accidents around the region. At least one traffic death is blamed on the storm in parts of new york, vermont, New Hampshire and maine expect a foot of snow or more Demarco Morgan is in henniker, New Hampshire. Good morning. Good morning. The place here is absolutely beautiful. Believe it or not, there are people who beg for snow. Like places like pikes peak because its a boom for business. Weve got around eight inches of snow in this area, but to the north of us on the east coasts highest peak, mount washington, Officials Say there is considerable danger of an avalanche. Heavy, fastfalling snow blanketed the northeast overnight. And at times dropping six inches per hour at the New Hampshire border. The slick, slippery roads left drivers stranded and sent cars careening off of highways. Unless you have four wheel drive, i suggest not even getting on the roads. Its that bad. Emergency crews worked through the night after more than 80 wrecks were reported. Right wheels got off the edge and pulled it back on and the front came on all right but the back end caught on it, and just brought it right around sideways. Through bitter wind, as piling snow, plow after plow worked to clear roads across new england, as some areas were pummeled with nearly two feet of snow, more than 40,000 people were without power in maine. In new york and vermont, people shoveled sidewalks and store fronts. For others, the work was all downhill. Job mcglone took the snowfall in stride. Were all dealing with it and kind of enjoying it while were shoveling it. Its been a lot of fun so far. Reporter one ski resort in new england says they got more snow this year than they did all of last season. So thats good news for them. And good news for the people who are already stashting to show up here. Now the snow is expected to taper off a little later today, so, vlad, we still have a chance to get out here and enjoy it. At least for the holiday weekend. All right. Keep the line warm for me ill be there. Danielle niles of our boston station is tracking the snowfall totals and has the forecast for new years eve. Danielle, good morning. Good morning. Areas of snow continue to push out of northern maine with lakeeffect snow bands back to the west it was 6 to 12 inches of snow off the great lakes and may create some travel concerns across the country because of that. Here on the west coast for us another front coming in is going to dive southward bringing rain and snow showers to the Pacific Northwest and then down to the Desert Southwest, as well. For our new years eve and new years day, not a major storm system, but slick roads, all the way from oregon stretching back in through parts of montana, and from phoenix back up into portions of new mexico, as well, as eastern and western colorado. New years eve forecast across the country, snow coming out of the great lakes and heavy rain down across the gulf coast will create some issues and after that it is all about the cold, frigid air diving into the western United States. Temperatures well below normal. Danielle, thank you. The ceasefire agreement in syria appears to be mostly holding after it went into effect last night. The deal was brokered by russia, and turkey. Two countries on opposite sides of the civil war. If the ceasefire lasts, peace talks are scheduled for january. Holly williams is tracking all the latest developments from istanbul. Holly, good morning to you. Good morning. We have unconfirmed reports of a rocket attack, airstrikes, artillery fire, and other violent clashes in syria today. But for the most part, this ceasefire does appear to be holding. Russia and turkey say it is a nationwide ceasefire. But it does not include isis, or a powerful Kurdish Group that operates in northern syria. Some rebel groups have also told us that they did not agree to the deal and this confusion about which rebel groups have or have not signed up. So while this could be a turning point in syria, it certainly is not an end to the countrys five year long civil war a bloody conflict which is thought to have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Weve seen russia reassert itself as a Global Player in syria, in a way we havent witnessed since the end of the cold war. Moscows Lethal Campaign of airstrikes has managed to prop up its allied Syrian Regime and helped it to retake the city of lop aleppo this month. And if the ceasefire holds it will effectively sideline the u. S. In syria. Two previous ceasefires brokered by washington and moscow collapsed. This time around russia instead negotiated with furk can i, an american nato ally that is growing ever closer to moscow. Vlad . Holly williams in istanbul, thank you. Iraqi troops have resumed their offensive to recapture the countrys second largest city from the Islamic State after a two week pause. Iraqi forces pushed deeper into mosul yesterday with the help of u. S. Led Coalition Air strikes. The city is the last major stronghold for high sis in iraq. It is the Largest Military operation since 2003. Coalition air strikes hit a van carrying isis fighters but there may have been civilian casualties. U. S. Central command is investigating. The u. S. Coast guard is looking for a plane that may have crashed into lake erie. The twin engine jet took off from a small airport in cleveland, ohio, last night. Headed to the Ohio State University in columbus helicopters searched for the plane this morning. But both searches were calmed off because lake eries water was too rough. The coast guard said four adults and two children were on board. New york police are using new tactics to protect massive crowds on new years eve. Ahead, how terror overseas prompted police to add a new start of the new year also means new laws. Ahead, see where the minimum wage is going up and gun laws are getting stronger and where exactly marijuana will be legal. The news is back in the morning right here on cbs this morning.

The wall street journal reports on the department of Veterans Affairs now struggling to help veterans addicted to opioids. The v. A. Admits overprescribing the pain killer. This fiscal year the v. A. Treated more than 66,000 vets with opioid use disorders. In 2016, the v. A. Wrote more than 4 million opioid prescriptions.

The San Francisco chronicle reports that the lead exposure rate among children in oakland, california, is higher than in flint, michigan. Reuters looked at data on taps of 500 children and more than 7 had elevated levels of lead in their blood. In flint the rate was 5 at the height of the city water crisis the nationwide rate is 2. 5 . Some experts blame the elevated rate in fruitvale on lead point in old homes. Usa today said a 50 million lawsuit from rundmc accuses amazon, walmart and other retailers of trade mark infringement. The suit claims clothing erroneously give the impression the retired rappers endorse the products. The companies havent commented. New yorks daily news reports Actress Debbie Reynolds may share a Memorial Service with her daughter carrie fisher.

Officers in patrol cars are already lining up in the area and police are introducing new security measures following terror attacks overseas. Major european cities are also stepping up security after the berlin attack. Armed officers are patrolling some streets in the uk, and anna werner is in times square with us for an inside look at new yorks massive security operation this weekend. Anna, good morning to you. Good morning. You have to imagine this spot packed with some 2 Million People. Its going to be walltowall people here. But police say they will have that all under control with some 7,000 new York Police Officers both in uniform, and civilian clothes, and a lot of other measures that theyre taking this year, even more precautions. Weve enhanced our security measures. New york city officials are adding a new layer of security this new years eve. Following terror attempts in europe, where trucks were driven into crowds of people. For the first time, the nypd is placing 65 sand trucks weighing 40 tons each in strategic locations around times square. Theyre also doubling the number of blocker vehicles. Every desk will be filled. Reporter chief james waters conducts the nypds counterterrorism bureau. Whats the goal of having all of those very heavy sand trucks surrounding times square . It creates a hardened perimeter so it wont allow a vehicle to get in there like and replicate the nice attack. Reporter the nypd is also increasing its long gun teams at security checkpoints and using helicopters and boats to monitor the area. Something the Department Already does daily. Do you want to keep people who might potentially keep people to know hey listen youre going to run into some serious resistance if you even try . I want the good people to know and have a level of confidence in the police that were able to protect them. And i want the bad people to know, beware, new york city is not the place to try to do this. Theres no known threat to the city. But waters says his biggest concern is what he doesnt know. That lone actor who flies under the radar, but has decided on his own, selfradicalized perhaps in his mothers basement, in his pajamas, and he decides tonights the night. Now, if you show up here for new years eve keep in mind if you come here, no back packs, no umbrellas, dont be carrying anything with you.

Theyre also closing more streets yeah, right . Inside the pens. Theres another thing they are closing more streets north of here this year. Thats primarily for security but keep in mind, too that trump tower is north of here. They say they dont expect any special difficulties regarding trump tower, however. Reena . Anna, thank you so much. There will be people that will show up at that ive had to cover it before. And bring a catheter. Well, president obama and his family will return to washington on monday. After their final hawaiia vacation of his presidency. Most of his activities are hidden from cameras but the obamas were seen at a honolulu restaurant last night. The president spent more than 100 days in office vacationing on oahu the island where he grew up. But it wasnt all fun all the time. Chip reid in honolulu has traveled with the president on all of those vocations. Chip, good morning. Well, good morning. Like many people on vacation, president obama is a creature of habit. Engaging in the same activities year after year. But of course as president he also has to respond to an unpredictable world because the jobs never end. On his final christmas vacation in hawaii as president mr. Obama made history meeting with the Prime Minister of japan at pearl harbor. I hope that together we send a message to the world that there is more to be won in peace than in war. Reporter it wasnt the first time president obama has taken time out of his vacation for official business. We will not rest until we find all who were involved, and hold them accountable. In 2009, the president addressed the nation after Umar Farouk Abdul ma tal unknown as the underwear bomber tried to detonate a bomb aboard a flight to detroit on Christmas Day. In 2012, president obama returned to washington just five days after arriving in hawaii, to deal with a congressional stalemate over the budget. Crisis known as the fiscal cliff. The democrats and republicans in congress have to get this done but theyre not there yet. Reporter a week later an agreement was reached, and he rejoined his family. His trips to hawaii have included a number of constants. Merry christmas, mele kalikimaka. Reporter first is a Christmas Day trip to the u. S. Marine base to visit with military families. This is one of our favorite things to do. Reporter another constant is golf. The president has had some hits. And some misses. In all he has played 50 rounds of golf in hawaii, almost all with his best friends from high school. Off the links the president spends most of his time with his family. In 2016 they visited the zoo, appeared to be fascinated by the lemurs. Theres one thing the president never misses. Happy new year. Thats a trip to islands snow. His father founded the shop. Now hes in charge, despite the security nightmare. You get the whole deal, shutting down the road, shutting down the store, everybody pat down. Reporter the president s visits are great for business. Even named a shave ice cone after the president. The snow bomb. Weve got to get those flavors on there. And i had to try one. Wow. Thats explosive. Theres always a lot of talk about the cost of these trips, which reportedly over eight years have cost more than 10 million for travel and security. But the president pace out of his own pocket for his rental home, meals at his favorite restaurants, and even his snowboma shave ice cone. Chip reid for us. Thank you, chip.

Californians who dont like that law can, of course, vote in someone to change it. And as of new years day they can take a selfie in the ballot booth, too. As you can see most of these laws take on National Issues and then there are laws Like Senate Bill 2342 in illinois, where it will soon be legal to use a pitchfork, spear gun, or bow and arrow to hunt catfish. Vlad . Im going with the pitchfork. Good source. I just need David Begnaud to lend me his waders. Thats terrific. Tony, great week. Yeah. Thank you.

It is friday, december 30th, 2016. Welcome back to cbs this morning. More real news ahead including a surprising russian response to new u. S. Sanctions. We look at the impact of president obamas punishment, david sanger with the New York Times. First, here is todays eye opener at 8 00. The Obama Administration retaliate for what it said was widespread russian cyberattacks. Members of the Incoming Trump administration are raising concerns about the hacking issue, and president obamas response. Kellyanne conway saying the Obama Administration is trying to box in the president elect. There is no doubt that there is a marker being laid down here that sort of says, look, if you roll these sanctions back there is going to be a lot of questions, potential political fallout. To the north of us on the highest peak, mount washington, there is considerable danger of an avalanche. Here on the west coast for us, another front coming in is going to dive southward, bringing rain and snow showers from the Pacific Northwest and then down to the Desert Southwest as well. If the ceasefire holds it will effectively sideline the u. S. In syria. Two previous ceasefires wall to wall people here, the police say they will have that under control. Long three. Oh, no, baby. Im josh elliott. Charlie, gayle and norah are off. Russian president Vladimir Putin said this morning he will not expel u. S. Diplomats from russia in response to president obamas new sanctions leavied against his country. Russias Foreign Ministry wanted to kick out 35 americans, but putin says and i quote, we will not resort to irresponsible kitchen diplomacy, end quote. He also said hell consider the next administrations actions before deciding any further response. Under the u. S. Sanctions, 35 officials from the Russian Embassy in washington and the consulate in San Francisco have 72 hours to leave the United States. And by noon today, russian access will be denied to two moscow owned compounds, one in mare m maryland and one in new york. Foreign individual officers in three companies are also named, two russians are being identified as cybercriminals. President obama ordered the sanctions in retaliation for russias cyberattacks meant to influence the 2016 elections. White house spokesman eric schultz said the president wanted to send a message. The president is mindful of retaliation measures when he makes these actions, but the president wanted today is to make sure that russia knew that we werent going to accept their interfering in our elections. That for too long, russia engaged in malicious cyberactivity, and russia has been harassing our diplomats serving overseas. Thats unacceptable. The white house says additional covert actions against the russians will not be announced, because they are highly classified. President obamas sweeping executive action against russia could be reversed by the next administration. In a statement, president elect trump said and i quote, it is time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. Nevertheless, i will meet with leaders of the intelligence kwh Community Next week to be updated on the facts of the situation. John mccain and Lindsey Graham said the sanctions were a small price for russia to pay. The senators say they intend to lead the effort in the new congress to impose stronger sanctions on russia and Incoming Senate democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted strongly support the Obama Administrations work to fight back against russias interference in our election. We need to punch back and punch back hard. New york times National Security correspondent david sanger has written extensively about this. In his new article today, he called the actions against russia, the strongest american response yet to a state sponsored cyberattack. And david sanger good enough to join us this morning from washington. Good morning to you. Great to be with you, josh. What did these actions, i know, again, they were called, you called them the strongest american response yet to a cyberattack. What do they really mean for russia . Well, they are the strongest to a cyberattack, but we dont have a whole lot of history there. The strongest until now had been some fairly modest sanctions against north korea for its attack on sony two years ago. I think the big question here is are these Strong Enough to create a deterrent not only to the russians, not only for the next american election, but for the elections that are coming up in germany, and in france, and to other countries that might take a look at the techniques that the russians used here, this combination of new cybertechniques and sort of old style information warfare, and figure out a way to go make use of it themselves. And im not persuaded that what the administration is working its way toward here yet is effective cyberdeterrents and it certainly is quite late as many of president obamas own aides concede. David, youre talking about those sanctions that have been made public. The Obama Administration said theyll take covert actions. Would those be effective and is that what people want to see, give than might not deter russia either if it is not public . Good point, because the whole key to deterrence here is that the price you pay is pretty obvious. Otherwise, youre not deterring other actors who would go on. There are a number of things in the cyberrealm that the United States could do to russia, you could expose many of the financial dealings of the oligarchs, could expose putins own fortune and how the oligarchs helped them get that, knock holes in the censorship system that the russians have developed around the internet. It could do any of those things. My guess is the u. S. Action will be pretty cautious because throughout this, from the first the white house got a whiff of this in the summer of in last summer was that they have been concerned about escalation. Cyberescalation from the russians. You dont want to get on an escalation ladder you cant get off. A short time ago, russian president Vladimir Putin said hes not going to expel any u. S. Diplomats. What do you make of that decision . Well, boy did he play this one well. First, he has the foreign minister come out and publicly say i recommend it. The recommendation strikes me as something that was made to be turned down. So putin can step in and say, you know, im ignoring this president , im moving right on to donald trump, and then if you read the rest of the statement, i dont want to interrupt the vacations of these american diplomats, then he invites the American Kids of the diplomats to come to the kremlin around new years and enjoy the christmas trees. So hes doing everything he can possibly do to say, im forgetting about barack obama, im moving on to the next guy. To that point, you also wrote that there is a belief that perhaps these actions were intended to box in donald trump, who has now said, while saying for the last couple of days that people should move on, hell meet with members of the Intelligence Community next week. What do you make thus far of president elect trumps response . Well, i thought it was interesting he said he would meet the intelligence representatives next week. It is not as if he hasnt already been receiving intelligence reports, and presumably those have included some about the russian hacking. Last summer when he became the nominee. He has consistently wanted to dismiss the thought that russia could be involved. But i detected in that latest statement a sort of willingness to be open at least to the evidence, which i think is a helpful thing. President obamas actions would definitely intended as a primarily as the russians, but secondly at trying to box in mr. Trump because what he would have to do is after january 20th, basically lift these sanctions. Reallow diplomats who are suspected of being spies into the country. It is pretty clear that president elect trumps own party would be pretty upset about that. To be continued. David sanger of the New York Times, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Great to be with you. The strongest snowstorm to hit new england in two years is making travel dangerous this morning. It brought blizzardlike conditions, emergency crews worked through the nights as slippery roads left drivers stranded and sent cars sliding off highways. Snowplows had a hard time keeping up with the storm. Some areas in western maine were pummeled with two feet of snow. More than 40,000 people in the state lost power in parts of new york, vermont and ham hmm anew are expected to end up with a foot or more of snow. Ahead, a look at some of the most successful holiday ads and the new Tactics Companies are employing to get at 101 years old, cuban born at 101, cuban born artist Carmen Herrera is getting recognition. How she burst on to the global arts scene after working decades largely unnoticed. Youre watching cbs this morning. Cbs this morning. ,,,,,, companies righthanders the companies spent 5 billion on advertising this year. U. S. Retailers alone spent more than a billion dollars in the period leading up to the Holiday Shopping season. Estimates show holiday sales in 2016 could top 1 trillion and that kind of money at stake, advertisers face pressure to create commercials that resonate, especially online. For example, this h m ad was directed by wes anderson and stars adrien brody. It has been viewed more than 9 million times on youtube. Jeannine poggi is a reporter at advertising age and joins us now. Good to see you. Great to be here. Good morning. These ads are using hollywood fire power what is the ultimate goal . Is it to get more people into the stores, obviously, or to go viral. Whenever youre creating some Big Marketing campaign, its important that you drive traffic and drive people online into stores. But really what these type of campaigns, they are looking to build awareness for the brand. They want to tell a story and the product sitz in the back seat and its really about telling that story and getting people to understand the brand and the total voice of the brand. For every ad that we see with adrien brody we see many with celebrities like a super bowl sunday, for instance. What goes into that decision, i suppose . Its really about what the message is that they want to come across. Is it about star power and really coming out there with glitter and glamour . Or is it telling a more subdued story, a message . We are seeing longer ads that are going online that are 60 seconds to three minutes that are short movies, if you look at them. And its really about what the story they want to tell is and how they want to connect with the consumer. Does going viral translate to better sales . Not necessarily. It surely is something that its helpful and helps build awareness for a brand but one doesnt equate to the other. Its really about getting that message out there and, you know, going, driving even across borders. Youre seeing a lot of ads this Holiday Season from outside the u. S. That were extremely popular and they are all on youtube. So consumers can watch them. You say there is a theme this year. Amazon has an ad out where an emom and another buy each other gifts. Is that a trend we see Going Forward and how effective is it . I think so. I think after a year we saw our country so divided that retailers really saw the need for an extra boost of humanity. And i think we are going to see that going through 2017, especially coming into the super bowl, id expect some more lighter toned ads and happier ads versus the more somber ads that sometimes we see during the super bowl season. This is the ongoing mountain decline it seems for advertisers how to harness the digital age and see them spending almost 20 more on ad. Is this suggesting this is money well spent . A great opportunity for them to just advertise their own ads. You see a lot of advertisers creating these teasers for their spots and you saw john lewis, Uk Department store creating three teasers build up to their holiday ad. Its an opportunity to really make the ad a piece of content. Its more than just here is a 30second commercial. Its here is our story and here is a little movie and piece of content for you. How does a store like john lewis decide what to create . John lewis had very somber ads and this year they took a more human humorous tone. Its getting people excited and happy and i think we are going to see more of that in 2017. Jeannine poggi, thank you for stopping by. Thanks for having me. Happy new year. Thank you. A Texas Police Officer takes a new approach to enforcing the law. Ahead, why he gave a teenager caught smoking marijuana the option to do pushups instead of jail time.

So this is a texas teenager who probably has sore arms today but he is a free man. A Police Officer saw this teen smoking marijuana outside a movie theater. Gave him two options for punishment. Go to jail or two 200 pushups. The teen opted for option b. One thing that my department pushes is us to have compassion and, you know, kind of, you know, think outside the box. Well done. Once the teen finished, the officer talked to him about the dangers of drug and said the boy was respectful and realized he made a mistake and the Police Department says it stands by its officers decision and has received positive feedback. Well done. Do you think he was able to do 200 pushups . Eventually eventually if it was me i would have asked if planking was an option. Like two minutes . Two minutes planking.

The end of december is time to pop the champagne and set goals for the coming year. Weight loss and exercise are the most popular new years resolutions. But this year being a better person tops the list. 44 of americans make yearly promises. However, Research Suggests only a fraction actually keep them. Jennifer wallace has written about resolutions and shes here to explain the Science Behind why so few people succeed. Jennifer, good morning. So what is it . Why do we feel so compelled to make these resolutions . Well, i think there is something in human nature that causes us to want to improve ourselves and the new year researchers say is actually the ideal time, or one of the most ideal times. There is something about january 1st that in our minds mentally separates ourselves from our old imperfect selves to our new improved and wiser selves. So it propels this motivation to change. And it could be january 1st, it could be the start of the season, it could be the start of a new week. There is something about that that propels the the newness propels us to change. It is interesting. You see various religions have periods of time where we abstain from certain things. Are we just is 365 and a quarter days just too long . I think one of the major things we do is we dont quite understand what willpower is. So we think willpower is this big force that we either have or we dont have, but what researchers are finding is that willpower is it operates more like a muscle. So the more you strain your bicep, at some point it will give out. The smarter resolutions, the people who are more successful work around their willpower. They dont rely on it so much. Im looking at this new years resolution list we have in our graphic back there says lose weight, exercise, drink more. It is meant to say drink more water, not drink more. But i wonder if i wonder if it is because some of these are just too ambitious and also kind of vague, lose weight. Too vague, we take on too much at once. The best resolutions are ones that are very attainable, measurable, and taking them one at a time you and i were tweeting about this, we have a lot of resolutions, one at a time, dont take them on all at once. That willpower cant take it. I think it is interesting because maybe it is that we want to be better people and so we list all these things that say this will make us a better person, but you can probably just go with one. Thats right. I was thinking about that, how it is now our number one resolution to be a better person, which is noble. But you have to get specific. If you want to make this a reality, you need to go to a cafe, take a couple of hours out and define what being a better person is to you. Is that a better person to yourself, feeding yourself better, being kinder . Is it voluntarying more, giving more money. Does keeping it vague give you a better shot . It gives you an out, no. An out. You want the best goals are what people refer to as smart goals. So you dont want to be vague. You want to be specific. You want it to be measurable. You want it to be attainable. You want it to be realistic. And you want it to be time sensitive. So that there is some sort of urgency that you have to make this resolution now. Ive already failed. No, there is still time. You say anticipate failure. Thats an important part. That is. Part of it takes three months to get a new behavior. A new habit set. So if your head, you need to mentally prepare for the setbacks and ask yourself what happened and recommit every time you have a failure. Recommit to yourself. Well keep ourselves honest on twitter. Glass half full program here. Yes. Thanks so much. Happy new year. Artist Carmen Herrera didnt sell her First Painting until she was 89 years old. Ahead, how growing popularity helped her actually achieve a solo exhibit at the age of oooh. Wowww. There it is. Its the red tag sales event and people are excited to bring in the new year with a new chevrolet. Im a huge chevy fan. How would you feel about starting 2017 in a new chevy . It sounds wonderful. Honestly, i would take any one. Oh heck yeah i want to get one tomorrow. Fantastic turn it on, lets go. During the red tag sales event get two deals in one. Find your tag for an average total value over ninetysix hundred dollars on Chevy Silverado all stars. Hurry, the red tag sales event ends january 3rd. Ca her Carmen Herreras art career began in the 1940s. Since then, the cuban native worked in paris and new york largely unnoticed. But her geomet rick paintings and sculptures are getting new attention. At 101 years old, herrera is receiving recognition many believe is long overdue. She has a solo exhibit at new yorks whitney hmuseum of american art. Heres to the beginning. At 101, carmen has a lot to celebrate. Look how clean it is. For seven decades, herrera has flown under the radar in the art world. It is hard to believe she didnt sell her First Painting until age 89. Herreras critically claimed solo exhibit defines the Straight Lines that got her here. When i heard she was going to be give and retrospective at the whitney, i thought this is perfect poetic justice. Reporter Edward Sullivan is an art history professor at New York University and followed carmens work for many years. Shes been hiding in plain sight. When i was younger now theyre beginning to know im a painter. I waited a long time. If you wait for people, people will come. I wait almost a century for them to come and they came. Reporter born in havana, cuba in 1915, herrera came to the u. S. With her late husband in 1939. About a decade later, they moved to paris, and it was there that herrera found her artistic voice. Dana miller is the curator of the exhibit. Parises wi was a wonderful, important period of her life. I think thats where she blossomed. She was doing things in the early 50s and late 40s which were way before they really became popular. A fellow artist has been her neighbor for over 35 years. If i learned anything from my friend carmen, it is whether it is in daily life, or in my own paintings, i always remember her. Keep it simple. Simply simplicity became the focus of her painting. I like angles. I like order. In the chaos that we live in, i like to put some order. So that is why i guess im a painter. During the 2015 Whitney Museum inaugural ceremony, Michelle Obama paid tribute to the career of her harrah. Maya little girl can come toe whitney and dream about being the next Carmen Herrera. And it is just, you know, it really got to me. This exhibition helped spark great interest from art critics, collectors, and inspired a fashion line based on her work. By staying loyal to her vision, despite the fact that she was not getting recognition, she set an example. I think a lot of the positive reaction shes getting now at the age of 101 has a lot to do with that. The recent fame hasnt changed herrera, she still wakes up every morning and draws in the new york studio shes lived in for 50 years. There is a feeding frenzy. It is not like you can just buy a Carmen Herrera painting. At this point, you have to get on a wait list. For years and years i didnt sell anything. Then suddenly ive been selling. Prices are going up. What . I would call her the star of manhattan at the moment because she has really burst on to the scene for many people in a very unexpected way. A lot of audiences who visited the whitney probably have never heard of her. She said her bus has come. And i think she kind of knew it always would. Last month herreras painting sold at an auction for 970,000 to a telephone bidder. The lines of that exhibit will be at the Whitney Museum until january 9th. Check it out.
