Clayton, thanks very much. Want to bring in chris carnes from the Pierce County transit Advisory Board on that train yesterday and, chris thanks for joining us. You knew it was going fast. You were tweeting about it. Yes, we were passing traffic as we were going along the highway. And you even said you thought you were going around 7 miles an hour. Did you think it was too fast . I well wead never been the no passenger traffic travel on this route before sodidnt really have any experience about it. So when was the firstt you knew something was wrong . So everything seemed to be going fine up until the point where theres this turn where you have to go on an e for ait second we a little we felt like we were going into a turn but then we heard felt some jittering and the next thing we knew we were flying off the railsn down an embankment. There was no slowing down as you head into that curve . It i dont recall any. So you say you went down into an embank many. What kind of fall was that for you . For me it was we were just sort of catapulted into the seats in front of us. And you look okay right now. You had no injuries. What about everybody else in the car . Most most of the passengers in our car had only minor injuries. There was one person who in the car in front of us they were catapulted to the front of the car and they were pretty badly injured. They were unconscious but still breathing. So youre tilted on this embank many. How did you get out . So we at first we tried the emergency door but that wouldnt budge because the train car had been crumpled and what we had to do was we pulled out the strap he string around the emergency window and we kicked that out. Were people panicked screaming, crying calm . No there were there were people screaming behind us in behind but there was no way we could access them. And what could you see of the cars i they were ahead of thaw went over the overpass . Could you see that at all . Yeah so the cars that we were on the other side so couldnt see the cars that went over the overpass. But what i could see from the window was we had disconnected from the other the back portion of the train and i could see that someone had been catapulted from the train onto the ground. Just anere glad youre okay chris, thanks for sharing your story this morning. Thank you. Paula. We want to move to washington. It is decision day on capitol hill for the republicans. 1. 5 trillion tax bill. President trump is on the cusp of getting his first major legislative victory and mary bruce is on capitol hill for us with the very latest. Good morning to you, mary. Reporter good morning, paula. Well, the final votes are just hours away. Republicans poised for that first major victory, but will it be a win for the American People . Republicans and the president insist this bill is aimed at the middle class, but a new Analysis Shows the longterm benefits will actually go to the rich. After the first decade the report finds the wealthiest americans would receive a tax cut while 70 of middle income americans would see their taxes go up and the president and his family could stand to benefit personally from tax cuts for the wealthy down from more than 39 to 37 and a provision of this bill aimed at benefiting certain owners of businesses like commercial real estate firms. Okay so mary weve been hearing the republicans have the vote even without senator john mccain who is recovering from Cancer Treatment. How confident should he be . Reporter there have been protesters trying to convince republicans not to d to no avail. Right now have the votes in the senate right now. Theres not single republican no vote. There are a handful of moderate republicans in the house who oppose this but that is not enough to block this bill. This tax bill appears to be headed for the president s desk paula. All right, mary bruce reporting from capitol hill. Thank you very much. George. Also breaking this morning the white house calling on north korea formally blaming kim jongun for that crippling Ransomware Attack that affected hundreds of thousands of computers around the world and Pierre Thomas is in washington with the latest. Good morning pierre. Reporter good morning rpg. The u. S. Is blaming them which paralyzed hundreds of thousands of computers in companies and homes worldwide. In an oped release, Thomas Bossert write, the attack was widespread and cost billions. North korea is directly responsible. Its not the first im george you remember in 2014 the u. S. Accused north korea of hacking Sony Pictures for an un unflattering movie about their dictator. Bossert is calling on the International Community to improve improve cybersecurity and could see the u. S. Look for more sanctions. It is likely to add to the ongoing tension. It certainly will. Lets talk about earth more with cecilia vega and the editor in chief of the daily beast. John avlon. Lets pick up where pierre left off, the white house calling for new sanctions directly blaming north korea. Quite a contrast from the way the president deals with the russian meddling. Its stark. The administration is being tough and but in yesterdays strategic documentteps the issue of russia and his cabinet is hawkish but the president remains fundamentally uncomfortable so the contrast is striking. Cecilia, no question this is the biggest legislative victory yet for the president. Good way for him to end the year. Reporter yeah certainly, poised for a big celebration when it happens and tweeting about it this mornin he just put this out. He says the bills impact to t economy is totally understood and appreciated. Quote, biggest tax cuts and reform ever passed. Enjoy and create many beautiful jobs. Spoken like President Trump there. But Fact Checkers agree this isually the biggest tax cut ever passed. He is poised for a big celebration but this is dangerous political territory. There are a lot of polls out there that show that a number of americans, more than half disagree with this plan george and twothirds say it will benefit the rich over the middle class. Yeah lets bring that to john avlon. This is a tax cut. Right. Yet its in some ways more un unpopular than tax increases have been. Will it matter a year from now. Thats unusual. Everyone loves a tax cut. Tax hikes are hard to get through. The math is upside down. This has been sold as a middle class tax bill and simplification. It is a big political win for republicans and the president but doesnt deliver on those two promises . Thats what democrats are hoping for in november in the midterm elections and the russia Investigation Continues to hang over the president. The white house hoping this week that some of that cloud may be lifted. Theyve scheduled this meeting between the white house lawyers and special counsel Robert Muellers team. Reporter yeah and this is a pretty standard meeting from what we understand. The lawyers want to get a sense of where it stands and likely want to know whether President Trump himself is under investigation. Theyve had to lawyers have had to change what they are telling the president and told him it would be done by thanksgiving initially and then christmas and now pushed it back and wrapped early into next year. We know its expected to go well into 2018. Is braced for that cecilia . Thats the question. He has long said this is a witchhunt. We hear him repeatedly say that theyve done nothing wrong here so that certainly is the standard line but, look this is a cloud hanging over this white house. There is absolutely no doubt about that. They cannot shake this and want to focus on tax reform and the agenda Going Forward but questions are still hitting them hard. The white house hoping for a letter of exoneration from the special counsel. Thats unlikely to come any time soon and the big question does the special counsel want to talk to the president . That is going to be one of the big moments. Thats not how it works. You dont get an assurance of a letter of exoneration to allow everything to go forward. The investigation will go forward. The question is whether theyll interview the question is key but this thing is vast and fastmoving. If the white house needs to calm the president down by promises hes off the hook they will be sorely disappointed. Coal in that stocking for christmas. Thanks very much. We want to move to breaking news overseas. Police in the uk have foiled a christmas terror attack making arrests this morning. Our senior Foreign Correspondent ian pannell has the latest from london. Ian, good morning. Reporter yeah, good morning, paula.

Back now with meryl streep responding to criticism over her reaction to the Harvey Weinstein scandal after Actress Rose Mcgowan and alleged victim of weinstein called streep a hypocrite and diane macedo is here with the story. Good morning diane. Good morning. So rose mcgowan is not pulling punches and looks like shes not taking Meryl Streeps calls either so streep is now speaking out to the press saying while she once called Harvey Weinstein god, she actually barely knew him. This morning Actress Meryl Streep is defending herself after being slammed by rose mcgowan on twitter. Mcgowan who accused disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her wrote in a now deleted tweet that streep had happily worked for the pig monster and ridiculed her plan to join an army of actresses wearing black as silent protest. Mcgowan tweeted your silence is the problem. I despise your hip pock kri si. Streep responded writing, i wasnt deliberately silent. I didnt know. I dont tacitly approve of rape. I didnt know. I dont like young women being assaulted. I didnt know this was happening. She also said of mcgowan i want to let her know i did not know about weinsteins crimes not in the 90s when he attacked her or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others. She worked on several films like the iron lady and other films. She even won golden globe for iron lady and praised weinstein. I just want to thank my agent, kevin and god, Harvey Weinstein. [ laughter and applause ] the punisher old testament, i guess. Reporter but streep later spoke out against weinstein in october calling his behavior inexcusable and the women who spoke up heroes saying she didnt know about his financial settlements with actresses and colleagues or his inappropriate coercive acts. This her new statement she adds i dont know where harvey lives nor has he ever been to my house. I have only been to his office once. Hw was not a filmmaker. He was often a producer. Primarily a marketer of films made by other people but not every actor, actress and director who made films that hw distributed knew he abused women. Streep also says shes sorry mccaoer sees her as an adversary writing we are both together with all the women in our business standing in defientsz of the same implacable foe. Weinstein has denied any allegations of nonconsensual sex. Streep said she tried to reach out to mcgowan by phone but still has had no luck in contacting her. Had isnt the first time mcgowan has gone after her. We saw it earlier when meryl streep was quoted as calling this a gargantuan sample of disrespect and mcgowan tweeted back with a few expletives calling it no is this protest gaining strength . The reports were that a few actresses including meryl who is up for a golden globe were planning on wearing black as a silent protest but clearly mcgowan doesnt see that as being enough.

Linzie janis is back with that story and these lithium ion batteries can be found in a lot of popular christmas toys. The hidden dangers inside these batteries and cautionary tale for shoppers buying gadgets to put under the tree. Weve seen it before. Lithium ion batteries bursting into flames like with these hoverboards. I know. Its crazy. Reporter now investigators say a lithium ion battery inside a childrens toy is to blame for the fire in in indianapolis Apartment Building sunday. Engine 43 on the scene of a twostory Apartment Building. We have spoke showing. Reporter no one hurt but Officials Say the fire that displaced four families and caused an estimated 100,000 in damage was sparked when the battery overheated. Igniting this pile of toys being stored in the buildings furnace room. In this particular case we simply think it got inadvertently turned on and overheated and ran and ran and, unfortunately, this is the end result. Reporter Authorities Say that is what ignited flames at this pennsylvania home. Leaving a 3yearold girl dead. And just last month, the lithium ion battery inside a camera overheated. From this backpack causing panic at the orlando airport. The lithium ion battery itself because it can hold so much Electrical Energy gets hot and catches fire on its own or the lithium ion battery gets hot and a flammable object within the toy, maybe the plastic or Something Else will catch on fire. Reporter when stores toys or Electronics Experts say to make sure to keep them away from a heat source or combustibles like clothing or paper and make sure the room is well ventilated. One of the things that people really dont like to do is read instructions but its very important with products like these that the parent read and understange the instructions and any of the tips that are included about where to store them and how to store them safely. Experts suggest you can remove the batteries from the toys once theyre charged and store the items separately also after recharging unplug the charger from the toy and wall socket as an added precaution. We turn now to our series raising good men. Paula had a chance to sit down with a group of boys. Well call them young men between 12 to 16 years old for an important conversation in wake of the me too movement. You remember what it was like to be 12 years old. Yeah trying to forget. Boys in that age range starting to have crushes and date but that territory comes with so many questions for both kids and their parents so were trying to get some answers. Im dawen. Im 12. Reporter they are six boys from the denver area. Im sebastian, im 15. Im giovanni and im 14. Reporter all at a critical age when relationships come to the forefront. We ask what its like to be a teenage boy. How many of you have crushs . I have a girlfriend. Reporter their parents watching and listening in but the boys dont know that. Do your parents know you guys dr. Crushes and or girlfriends . Yeah. No. [ laughter ] try to keep it like on the down low. Exactly. Keep them out of your business, you know. Reporter dr. Stephanie dowd a child psychologist from the Child Mind Institute also watching our interview says parents need to make it their business and convey what a healthy relationship looks like right from the start. Having a healthy romantic relationship requires both partners to have empathy and see it from the other persons perspective. Reporter as the newness of dating sets in for these boys. You go places together hold happens in the hallway. Our school is really close to panera so on fridays we walk to panera and a lot of times we walk together. Thats where the magic happens is at panera bread. They have good soup and salad. That is true. Reporter at this age experts say parents should expand that quote, sex talk with boys and create a dialogue about romantic feelings emotions and consent. This is specifically how you ask for concept. Are you okay with this . Does this feel comfortable to you . Its as simple as that. Parents just need to model that for their kid. What does it mean to have concept . Both people that are doing something want to be doing it. Lets say you are in class and notice one of your classmate, a male puts his hand on one of your female classmates legs and doesnt have permission. Is that okay . No. No. If its Sexual Harassment you cant do that. When someone tells you to be a man, what does that mean. You have to be mature. Cant show emotion, just got to be like manly. Do you feel in order to be a man you have to hide your emotions . Thats a part of it yes. Thats part of it. Yeah definitely. And you should be able to show your emotions no matter what and not have people think worse or lesser of you. These messages are very rigid for boys and men and theyre dangerous. Parents have to expand the definition of what it means to be a man. You know, your parents werent in the room but they heard everything you said. What . No, they didnt. The parents taking to heart the importance of their own behavior. When they touched on what it meant if someone said be a man was telling because i think send the wrong message. I loved how much they wanted to respect everybody else. It was pretty incredible. I got to say i dont think we give these boys enough credit. The moment that stuck out when i asked what does it mean to be a man. You could tell that you know they want to be able to express themself but because of societal expectations theyre not allowed to and cant express their emotions. They expressed it well there. Very well spoken. I want to bring in stephanie dowd. Dr. Dowd. You were in the piece and we talk all about not having just these boys 12 to 16 so starting to have relationships, its not just about having the sex talk you want to broaden it out, what it means to be a strong relationship. How do you do that . The thing to remember is that teens really love to talk about love. So when youre a parent you want to approach your teens with a compassionate curiosity. You want to ask them questions, find out what they think about relationships. Ask them questions about what dating is like at your school. How do you know if two people are interested in each other. So get them talking. And then the other thing you want to do is you want to help them distinguish between a healthy, romantic relationship and an unhightechy one and one thats healthy theres mutual respect, compromise and caring between two people. This series has generated so much interest on social media. Big platform for kids nowadays and heres something we got in on twitter. Teach them that each persons body is his or her own, full stop. Show him respectful treatment of all every day. Social media as i said is big for this group. Everybody is on it so as a parent how do you teach your kid how to respect and promote being respectful on social media . Right, social media is really tough. You know its important that parents tell their teen that anything they post could be posted anywhere and it could last forever so you want to tell your teen that if you post something, imagine that it could be posted on a billboard in the middle of many times square for everyone to see including their grandmother and so that will get them shy they got when they heard their parents its a way for them to be mindful and aware what they put online could be seen by anyone. The thing to remember also with teens is that they tend to act based on instant gratification and react without thinking. So you want to make sure you tell your teen listen before you post something, pause, think, maybe even walk out of the room and come back and then post what you want to pote. But its important that when they post theyre imagining a person behind the screen that they dont want to just post to a computer. Its actually a person on the other end so you want to really encourage that empathy. Lasts forever like you said. Dr. Dowd thank you so much and thanks for the guidance. Hard to have conversations with boys but i love the advice just about having strong relationship, what a good and bad relationship is. Tangible things we can take back to our homes. Thank you. We want to send things back to ginger. Because, paula, it is time for you because paula its time for your gma moment. For this one we go to south bridge massachusetts.
