New medical Research Shows people who stayed socially connected end up living very longer, healthier lives, particularly women battling Breast Cancer. Reporter Breast Cancer affects one in eight american women at some point in their lives, and it kills more than 40,000 every year. Weve come a long way in diagnosing sooner and treating effectively with new Research Showing staying socially active improves odds when faced with the disease. A team of researchers studied the social habits of 9 million women with Breast Cancer finding those socially isolated had a 43 recurrence rate and 64 higher risk of early death from breast kaempcancer over a ten y period. Those with larger social circles had a better chance of surviving and not having cancer return.

Its not generally all that entertaining, however, i would love to go to that shower and watch them go to town. Just hanging from the raft t ers, swinging all over the place. That would be fun. More details on the baby showers coming up, but this morning, were going to begin with the latest with trump set to name the secretary of state nominee later this morning. We know trump has not chosen former rival, mitt romney, to be the neighs top diplomat. Trump called romney late last night to inform him he wasnt chosen for the job. Romney posted on facebook, it was an honor to be considered for secretary of state for our great country. My conversations with trump have been both enjoyble and enlightening, and i have very high hopes that the new administration will lead the nation to peace. I will be making the announcement Tornado Warning mor morning. Its expected to be rex tillerson, coming as trump is engaged in a war of words with the nations Intelligence Community over Russian Election hacking. Tom llamas has more. Reporter leaders in congress break with zrump announcing theyll investigate whether russia used hackers to try to influence the election. Something trump doesnt believe happened, even though the director of National Intelligence says it did. They have no idea if its russia or china or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. Reporter trump tweeting, unless you catch hackers in the act, it is very hard to determine who is doing the hacking. Why wasnt this brought up before the election . But it was. In october, 17 American Government intelligence agencies including the cia released this rare statement saying the u. S. Intelligence community is confident that the russian government directed the recent compromises of emails. When we say were confident, i think it speaks for itself. Reporter trump still refusing to believe it. It could be russia. I dont really think it is, but who knows. Reporter the president elect also disputing reports that the cia believes russias goal was to hurt Hillary Clinton and help trump get elected. I think its ridiculous. I think its just another excuse. I dont believe it. Reporter a much different take from the white house on mr. Trump. He called on russia to hack secretary clinton, so he certainly had a good sense of whose side this activity was coming down on. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Reporter the new focus on russia comes with trump poised to name exxons ceo, rex tillerson, secretary of state whose ties to putin go back decades. Ive known him since 1999, and i have a very close relationship with him. Reporter on gma, the Senior Adviser tried to down play tillersons russian connection. Its not like hes with him at the local bar. Reporter not vodka shots, but thissed video shows a campaign test, putin awarding him. Over the weekend, marco rubio tweeted being a friend of vladimir is not an attribute i am hoping for from a secretary of state. A small group is asking for more information on hackings and listen to what Clintons Campaign chairman said, electors have a solemn responsibility under the constitution, and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed. This is a very aggressive stance by the clinton campaign, furthest so far to challenge the legitimacy of Donald Trumps presidency, but they know theres no mechanism in place to brief those electors right now. Tom llamas, abc news, washington. The recount taking place in wisconsin, well, it is now officially over, and donald trump certified, again, as the winner. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by more than 22,000 votes. The recount changed the final wisconsin results by fewer than 1800 votes. Jill stein says the recount was not about changing the outcome of the election, but meant to validate the vote and restore confidence in the system. Donald trump tweeted saying the final wisconsin vote is in and we picked up an additional 131 votes. The dems and green party can now rest, scam. Controlling most of the city, a victory there gives assads regime control of syrias five major cities, but believed civilians are still trapped in the few remaining rebel controlled neighborhoods. The United Nations is worried about reports of atrocities against the civilians. The red cross says time is running out. Meanwhile, the u. S. Efforts to get a cease fire and peaceful end to the siege failed this weekend. That would have allowed rebels and families and other civilians safe passage out of the city, but the russians rejectsed it. The state Department Spokesman john kirby said the u. S. Was frustrated, but not surprised. Russian air strikes killed 1500 civilians in iraq, far greater than the death toll of 173 that u. S. Officials reported. A london based project called air wars released the report. They blame the discrepancy on the way that civilianse deaths e investigating and called for transparency in the process. President obama will not declassify a socalled torture report before leaving officer. The 7,000 page report details the tactics used by the cia on detainees after 9 11. Some u. S. Senators had pressed the president to release the report. Itll be preserved in his president ial records and wont be eligible for declassification before 2028. In new york, a flight diverted to jfk airport because of a bomb threat flight 44 made a landing after a phoned in threat. The plane was taken to a remote area of the airport and searched, but investigators did not find anything suspicious. The man charged with killing nine people in a South Carolina church apparently had other targets in mind as well. Law enforcement agents told the jury that dylan roof said he was just too worn out from the deadly shooting to pursue other targets. The jury watchs his recorded confession discussing why he ultimately chose to target africanamericans at church.

Lucky guessers in the houston area have reasons to be happy. Now that theyve collected on a Mattress Store promotion. Guess which party wins the white house and get your money back. All of these people guessed that trump would win. Some donald trump impierce naters provided entertainment, maybe to make the store feel better . Besides the correct guess, they had to spend more than 2,000. The stores owner said he refunded more than 10 million. That is a risky promotion. Giving people a 50 50 shot at a full refund on a mattress thats expensive, i might add. You have to spend 2,000 to be eligible, refunding at least 2,000 ahead. Hes actually saving money. How . Apparently. More people picked clinton to win so he would have refunded a lot more if she had won. What if he just hadnt thought up this game at all.
