i'm rosemary church. >> good to have you back here, rosemary. hey, everyone, i'm errol barnett. u.s. president barack obama is now setting up a commission to sudden di the relationship between police and the communities they serve. attorney general eric holder is promising new guidelines for federal law enforcement to help end racial profiling? >> yeah, all this comes as there seems no end in sight to the anger over the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager in ferguson, missouri. monday brought protests in cities across the united states and holder's announcement that a federal probe continues drew a standing ovation. >> while the grand jury proceeding in st. louis county has concluded, i can report this evening that the justice department's investigation into the shooting death of michael brown as well as our investigation into allegations of unconstitutional policing patterns or practices by the ferguson police department remain ongoing and remain active. [ cheers and applause ]

>> and as you can hear holer was also interrupt the by protesters. that was in atlanta. just one of the city's where demonstrations were held on monday. george howell has that part of the story. >> what do we want justice. >> when do we want it? now. >> reporter: protesters marched from coast to coast, one week after a grand jury decided not to indict officer darren wilson. in ferguson, missouri, residents voiced their frustrations. >> but we are viewed as a racist community right now. >> reporter: from walkouts in new york to demonstrations in d.c. protesters are making sure their message is heard. some gathered outside the justice department, even blocking some streets. >> for them to be inconvenienced

for 20 minutes is only testament to how the lives of black people are stopped every day. >> reporter: at sunday's nfl game in st. louis, five rams players staged their own protest as they took the field, their hands up, a pose that's been widely adopted by brown supporters. >> we wanted to come out and show our respect to the protest and people that have actually been doing a heck of a job around the world. >> we just wanted to let the community know that we support them. >> reporter: but the st. louis police officers association condemned the players' action saying "it is unthinkable that hometown athletes would so publicly perpetuate a narrative that's been disproven over and over again." despite pleas by the police organization to discipline the players, the nfl said none of the players will be punished saying, "we respect and understand the concerns of all individuals who have expressed views on this tragic situation." george howell, cnn, ferguson,

missouri. and now to another big story we're following for you, the fbi is warning members of the u.s. military that isis or its sympathizers may be plan ago tacks against them on u.s. soil. the bureau cites several recent homeland attacks against members of canada's military as reasons to be concerned. >> the fbi says isis may be tracking personal information about specific u.s. soldiers including their addresses and even family members. it is cautioning service members not to mention their military affiliations when posting on social media. it's also advising u.s. service personnel to avoid wearing their uniforms when it's not necessary. well, al shabaab militants are suspected of carrying out another massacre in kenya. the bodies of 36 people were found in a quarry in the village of korome, just a few kilometers

from mandera. cnn affiliate ktn reports about 20 gunmen targeted workers at the site. al shabaab rebels killed 28 people in a bus attack in mandera last month. now, the fbi is putting businesses on alert for a new hacking threat. an official says it's the same type of malicious software that infected sony's computer systems just last week. >> yeah, and at least five of sony's unreleased movies have appeared online as a result of that attack. as brian todd report, questions are surfaces about whether north korea is to blame. >> reporter: it's a hollywood romp with the perfect villain. >> i have a gift for you. >> oh, oh, the tiger is killing me with cuteness. >> he's a crazy cute. >> reporter: in the new movie "the interview," james franco and seth rogen play two bumbling talk show hosts recruited by the cia to assassinate kim jong-un. >> you are going to be

be alone in a room with kim jong-un, and the cia would love it if you could take him out. >> hmm? >> take him up. >> for coffee? >> reporter: when the north koreans got word of the production they called it undisguised terrorism and now new questions about possible retaliation. sony pictures entertainment, the company that produced the movie is dealing with a massive cyberattack. corporate e-mailers have been crippled and screener movies including "fury" soon posted on illicit websites. the interview is not one of the movies hacked but experts say the attack is very damaging. >> for an entity like sony their movies, especially ones that haven't been released, those are the keys to the kingdom and want to protect more than anything. >> reporter: recode reports sony is exploring the possibility hackers working for north korea possibly operating from china could be behind the attack. a north korean official at the u.n. would not comment and a group calling itself the guardians of peace has apparently said it perpetrated the attack.

could north korea even carry out such a sophisticated attack? >> they can buy hackers on demand. so can you go out to the free market and you can say, this is what i want to have happen. here's a certain amount of money, just make it happen. >> reporter: experts say kim jong-un like his father is a voracious consumer of western movies but that doesn't mean they can take a joke. >> when they see themselves being ridiculed in these media forms that they love, it must really hurt them more than a sanction by the united states or by the u.n. security council. >> reporter: contacted by cnn sony would only say it's a criminal matter and working with law enforcement to address it. the fbi confirms it is investigating the sony hack. meanwhile, experts say sony will likely lose millions of dollars this holiday season from people viewing illegal downloads of those movies online rather than going to theaters. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> yeah, and as we heard sony pictures suspects north korea could be behind a hacking attack.

we will hear from an expert who thinks pyongyang is thought to blame. that's later in the show. all right. also coming up, new developments in the push for democracy in hong kong. one protest leader is raising the stakes while these gentlemen, the three founders of the movement make a bold move of their own. plus, nato foreign ministers gather in brussels as tensions over the crisis in ukraine continue to rise. taking some live pictures there. we'll be back in a moment.

welcome back, everyone. we are following new developments in the push for democracy in hong kong. just a short time ago, the three founders of hong kong's occupy central movement said they will surrender to police on wednesday. >> yeah, the top of the show i said they're giving up. i mean in their words not entirely true. what they're doing now is they're urging protesting students to retreat. the announcement comes a day after the city saw some of the worst violence to hit the protests in weeks. and there's another layer to this. this could also change things for one of the most prominent faces of the movement. student leader joshua wong, the 17-year-old announced he's on a hunger strike with two other students so what will come of that? >> well, senior international correspondent ivan watson joins us now live from hong kong with more details on all of this. ivan, these three founders of the occupy central movement plan

to hand themselves over in about 24 hours to police. they've called for the protesters to retreat. what sort of impact will that likely have on joshua wong's hunger strike and talk to us about this apparent tension between the younger protest leaders and their older counterparts. >> reporter: that's a very good question, rosemary. i'm joined now by joshua wong, the leader and founder of the scholars movement, 18 years old, just graduated from high school. not too long ago. joshua, thank you for joining us. first question to you, why have you decided to go on hunger strike and what would you like -- what will stop you from doing the hunger strike? >> if the government can have proper -- maintain to discuss whether the political reform will be launched immediately, we will stop the hunger strike. >> reporter: so basically a

meeting with the government and then you'll suspend your hunger strike then? >> yeah. >> reporter: now, are you aware of how painful and destructive for your health this could be? and do your parents know about what -- >> my parents know and i know it really harmful to my body. however, it is the only way to give the pressure to the government to get a meeting with us. we have to solve the problem and erase the general awareness on the issue as we have said that we hope to get everything to assist on the topic on whether the government should relaunch the political reform or not, i think it show the attitude of the citizen that we have to solve the confrontation. >> reporter: now, just an hour or two ago the founders of occupy central, not only did they say they want to hand themselves over to the police even though there's no arrest warrant out for them, but they also issued an appeal to

students like you saying retreat, it's time to use other tactics. what is your response? >> i hope that -- i hope students to retreat, they should also urge the government to get a discussion with the students. >> reporter: so are you going to listen to what men like benny tai have said? >> we have discussion with our members but we just hope to get a meeting as soon as possible. yeah. >> reporter: is there any plan to bring an end to the occupy movement here? >> i'm still optimistic that finally the government can respond to our request of hunger strike, yeah. >> reporter: and what do you have to say to the people of hong kong who according to several recent surveys conducted here in hong kong, a majority of those surveyed have said it's time to end the sit-in movement. it's time to pack up and leave. >> actually quite a lot of

people would like -- would like us to stop the occupy action, but we still hope to try our best to fight for the reform of hong kong. if we stop the action i don't believe we can get a chance to discuss with the government officials. >> reporter: and can you tell me about the hunger strike? are you drinking water? >> just drink water. >> reporter: only water and no other food at all. >> yeah. >> reporter: and it's been an incredible more than two months now for you and other people of your age. do you feel like you've accomplished something in this time? do you feel like you're still making progress? >> we still will be left hunger strike will make the progress, yeah. >> reporter: is there anything else you'd like to add? >> we hope people from all over the world try to keep the

concern on the umbrella movement. while we hope to relaunch the political consultation because the political consultation that -- before did not show the fact of the opinion of the general public. and we can relaunch the political reform and we can get a new decision made by the -- made by the central government and we can challenge to get back universal suffrage. >> reporter: thank you very much, joshua. take care of yourself. we've just spoken with joshua wong. leader of the scholarship movement who says he has been in discussion with the leaders of occupy central who have now urged for him and other students to end their sit-in. he says those plans are not in effect yet. again, saying that he will continue his hunger strike until he gets some kind of a meeting with the government to push for

reform and recall that the government has called the protesters in recent days violent radicals after they attempted to blockade parts of the government. this was sunday night in the predawn hours on monday. that was an effort to increase pressure on the government that quickly failed. the police crushed that attempt. arrested dozens of people and joshua wong himself was briefly arrested last week at one of the other protest sites that has since been disbanded. rosemary, back to you. > all right. our senior international correspondent ivan watson talking there with student leader joshua wong who is continuing his hunger strike. it's going to be interesting too to see whether these protesters out on the streets retreat as these three founders have suggested but there's this real dichotomy. >> quite fascinating to watch that. >> the older and younger ones seem to be on different pages. >> he looks quite weak and tired. he's in the middle of this

hunger strike right now. and it's almost analogous of the movement in general. it seems to have lost a bit of steam, lost momentum and even he admitted i wasn't happy with the talks with the government. does that mean back to square one? it's unclear but we'll see what comes of this announcement to retreat. all this coming into cnn just this past hour. so new stuff there. >> a lot of frustration. >> out of hong kong. other stories we're following for you. tension between russia and ooung will be high on the agenda when nato foreign ministers meet in brussels. >> those talks get under way shortly. we are taking live pictures there and they come as russia and nato accuse each other of causing instability. all the way from ukraine to northern europe. nato with its military exercises and russia with military overflights. >> for more on all this, matthew chance joining us now live from moscow. so, matthew, it's almost typical to see russia, nato trading barbs back and forth but bring

us up to speed on what exactly is being said. >> reporter: well, this is a nato meeting of foreign ministers from the member states. you can sigh from the pictures we've been bringing in those foreign ministers including the u.s. secretary of state john kerry have already started to arrive at nato headquarters in brussels to discuss the issues that affect the alliance. one of those issues, by the way is the threat from the south of the nato area, the threat posed by islamic states to countries like turkey which is, of course, a member of the nato alliance and, of course, its actionness syria and iraq but i think the focus of the talks as you rightly pointed out a moment ago is the threat or the perceived threat from russia, of course, there have been a huge upsurge in the number of flights and naval activity carried out by russian forces in international waters and air space but towards the territorial areas of nato, as well. that's a big concern to the military alliance.

this also is the continued russian involvement or the alleged russian involvement in eastern ukraine which, of course, the kremlin denies, but nevertheless is being observed by nato assets, as it were on the ground. and so these are two threats that are very much of concern, again, the russians and nato trading barbs, as you say, nato accusing russia of being a force for instability. russia accusing the military alliance of escalating tensions in what is supposed to be the most stable part of the world northern europe by its increased military maneuvers and war games that it's carrying out, as well which nato says is in response to the russian threat. the two sides very much engaged in nothing as extreme as the old cold war but kind of like a mini cold war being played out by the western military alliance and

russia. >> i've heard some describe it as a cool war these days. matthew chance live for us in moscow, just past 11:20, thanks. all right, we'll take a very short break right now but just ahead almost 2 million syrian refugees may go hungry this winter. the dire warning from the world food program as the weather gets colder and the money dries out. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead.

glad you're all still with us. two attacks in northern nigeria killed at least five people and wounded dozens more. witnesses say insurgents first set fire to a police post and then set off explosions in a market. >> the attacks happened in two state capitals, nigeria's state governor says the military was able to fend off the militants with ground and air forces. on to another story. nearly 2 million syrian refugees could go hungry this winter due to a funding crisis. >> that's right, the united nations world food program says it had to suspend food vouchers to refugees in jordan, lebanon, turkey, iraq and in egypt and this time of year the agency warns the consequences could be disastrous. >> many of the refugees are not prepared for this winter. they are living in settlements like this one. plastic sheeting, you know, taking cover, trying to burn

whatever they can so that they have fire at night to warm their kids. it's a very difficult situation. >> all right. so these refugees facing problems with food. i mean they're going to go hungry but not only that, the weather, it is going to be so cold. just what are they confronting? >> no question about it. yeah, good to see you, the problem is in, we'll continue to get these storms rolling in, wet and cold but in general there is some good news here. take you to the wall and show you. what we have is the winter temperature outlook for this part of the world. we're talking about turkey, lebanon, which together upwards of 2 million refugees there, we have iraq, as well, jordan and egypt. this area we're expecting actually temperatures to be average or a little above average through the next three months, certainly some good news there. as far as the precipitation, same deal, we're thinking the storm track is actually going to be further to the west so that means that they'll be bypassed a

lot so we'll have less precipitation here. that means less rain and less snow. but it does not mean we're not going to get any storms. there will be storms. it will snow. we are going to have some heavy rain events and have some temperatures that will be very uncomfortable and downright dangerous if you're going to be exposed and a lot of -- we're talking about tent, not areas that this theodore wafer that are going to be housing heat. there will be none here so just in the next 48 hours as an example we have one system that will be rolling in, it's going to be bringing in some rainfall. the temperatures are going to be in check over the next couple of days but if you were with us through the last week we had a potent storm system that rolled through the eastern med that brought heavy rainfall across the region here so, yes, in general we're thinking over the next three months as we average out the temperatures, rosemary and errol, the temperatures are going to be above average and as we average out how much rainfall that's going to be below average, as well. but in general we're going to

certainly going to be talking about some storms as well over the next three months so, yes, the food issue is going to be a problem and then you add the weather conditions and it's going to be nasty. >> think they've dealt with so much already. years of civil war in syria and made it out and now to be faced -- >> one interesting thing, the world food program says it needs just 64 million -- $64 million and one of the issues has been many of the donor pledges were just never fulfilled so people saying, i'll donate money, i'll help with this and not really coming to fruition. >> we've heard that story before, haven't we? other organizations also trying to help syria's refugees and if you would like to find out how to get involved, you can visit cnn.com/impact. >> thanks to ivan cabrera for bringing us the weather side of that story. now, the captain of a capsized cruise ship will get to tell his side of the story in court for the very first time. the latest on the "costa concordia" next. plus, a grand jury is deciding if a new york city

police officer should be charged for using a choke hold on a man who collapsed and died. their encounter was caught on camera. we will show it to you next.

you are watching cnn, thanks so much for staying with us. i'm errol barnett. >> and i'm rosemary church. we do want to check the headlines for think hour. we'll begin with a bit of braking news in to cnn. reuters now reporting that the lebanese army has detained one of the wives of isis leader baghdadi and one of his sons. the two were detained at a border crossing.

al baghdadi is believed to be constantly moving so this new information that one of his wives and one of his sons reportedly detained. we'll bring you more on this as it develops. in other headline, news agencies reporting al shabaab says its militants killed at least 36 quarry workers in northeastern kenya. the victims' bodies were found in the village of korome, a few kilometers from mandera. 28 were killed in a bus attack there last month. we've been covering this story these past few hours. the three founders of hong kong's occupy central movement have just announced they will surrender to police on wednesday. the men are now urging protesting students to retreat. however, student leader joshua wong who you heard from just a short time ago is still calling for the government to address the protesters' demand for reforms. u.s. president barack obama is calling for $263 million in

additional police funding. the money would help pay for 50,000 body cameras for law enforcement, that's to record confrontations like the one in ferguson, missouri, where a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. nearly three years after a deadly cruise accident off the coast of italy, the captain of the "costa concordia" will be in court to tell his side of the story for the first time. 32 people died when the ship hit rocks then capsized back in january of 2012. journalist barbie nadeau joins us from italy with a preview of what's ahead in court and barbie, as i take a look at what is behind you, you are where this is all about to begin. maybe walk us through what are the hard facts we know about what happened and what holes will the captain be asked to fill.

>> reporter: the court is about to begin probably in the next five or six minutes. we'll have to stop as soon as that begins being held in a theater because so many of the passengers are expected to come at various times of this lengthy trial. one thing we do know obviously the captain, francesco schettino was at the helm when it bashed into the rocks off giglio. five of his co-workers including two of his officers already pled guilty to their culpability in this accident. that all works against the captain. he'll have to answer questions with regard to their testimony that they -- that this court has accepted as fact. he'll either have to agree with that or contradict it with some sort of proof in his defense. what we're going to expect today when he arrives is a very defiant captain. i spoke to his lawyer a short time ago and he said captain schettino is ready to defend his honor in this manslaughter charge. he's facing about 23 years in prison for manslaughter, multiple manslaughter and the 32 deaths from that accident and

abandoning ship because he got off the ship before many of the passengers were evacuated and also facing charges for causing a maritime disaster. which happened, of course, off that pristine island of giglio in tuscany. >> and, barbie, as you stand by for all of this to begin, one thing we should note is schettino's never really admitted guilt. he's been very tight-lipped up until now and only had all these accounts, the videos that have emerged and also the statements from other staff members who admitted to some amount of guilt. surely people where you are and the reason it's in a big venue where so many people will watch, surely they expect him to admit to something here. >> reporter: well, that's right. he hasn't, though, yet. he's been very, very defiant. he blames his helmsmen who is an indonesian man who said didn't speak english or italian for not understanding his orders and blames the cost that cruise company for not providing maps

that had the rocks he hit appropriately marked on those maps. he's also blaming the ship itself saying that the generators didn't work, therefore, the elevators weren't functioning and that's why people lost their lives. no one died during impact when he hit the rocks. they all died during evacuation so his manslaughter charges will be basically focused on whether or not he could have evacuated that ship better. he was the captain. he was in charge and today he's going to have to defend himself and explain why things went so terribly wrong. >> just past 9:30 in the morning there in italy. barbie nadeau inside the makeshift courtroom where for the first time we'll hear the captain's side of the story and check in with you after to see what exactly took place today, barbie. thanks. now, u.s. attorney general eric holder was here in atlanta on monday for his first in a series of nationwide conversations on the ferguson shooting. >> yeah, holder has opened two civil rights investigations into that missouri case.

he says it presents an opportunity to tackle issues that have long been ignored. take a listen. >> the issues raised in missouri are not unique to that state or to that small city. we are dealing with concerns that are truly national in scope and that threaten the entire nation. >> you almost have a similar ferguson-type scenario in new york city. police there are taking steps to avoid the unrest that ferguson experienced. a grand jury there is deciding whether to indict a white police officer in the death of an unarmed african-american man. >> yeah, the officer used a choke hold on eric garner and the encounter was caught on camera sparking protests in the streets, randi kaye has more now from new york. [ bleep ]. >> reporter: july 17th, eric garner is about to be arrested in staten island, new york, for illegally selling loose

cigarettes. but something goes horribly wrong. and it's all caught on tape by a bystander. >> i'm minding my business, officer. i'm minding my business, please, just leave me alone. >> reporter: that's garner, a black 43-year-old father of six weighing 350 pounds. several new york city police officers are about to take him down. >> don't touch me, please. do not touch me. [ bleep ]. >> reporter: look closely. one officer daniel pantaleo who is white has his arm around garner's neck. >> put your hands behind your back. >> reporter: listen to garner's cries muffed by the pavement. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> reporter: what police may not have known was that garner suffered from asthma. his body appears to go limp. garner was later declared dead at a nearby hospital. police say he had a heart attack and died on the way.

less than a month after his death the new york city medical examiner made the official ruling. the cause of death compression of neck, a choke hold. plus compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police. his death was ruled a homicide. complicating matters, the m.e. also found asthma, obesity and cardio v cardiovascular disease were contributing factors. the city erupted in protests. >> we came out to give support and show the family of eric garner we are here and feel for him. >> reporter: new york city's mayor called it a tragedy promising a full review. the police commissioner promised to get to the bottom of it. >> defined in the department's patrol guide that this would appear to have been a choke hold. >> reporter: a grand jury was convened to decide whether or not the officer should be indicted. it began hearing testimony back in september. >> i just want them to do the right thing and give me justice for my husband. >> reporter: the jury is

expected to announce its decision by the end of this week. meanwhile, the community is working to prevent another ferguson. given the explosion of violence there, new york brass isn't taking any chances. the nypd reportedly sent detectives to missouri to learn more about professional agitators and about strategies to prevent the same thing from happening in new york. staten island's district attorney daniel donovan isn't talking but new york police are in touch with community leaders there to coordinate a response to the gray davis' decision. what they don't want is more of this. or something worse. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> well, a nazi war criminal long one of the world's most wanted fugitives is now declared dead. bruener who was said to have been adolf eichmann and right-hand man during the

holocaust is believed to have died at least four years ago in syria. a leading nazi hunter says he was 98 years old and may have advised the syrian government. france tried him in absentia in 1954 and sentenced him to die for sending more than 128,000 jews to death camps. well, a coroner in the u.s. state of ohio says the brain of an ohio state university football player will likely be tested after police say he killed himself. the family of kosta karageorge says he had a history of concussions. his body was found in a dumpster sunday. police believe the 22-year-old shot himself. his mother says he texted her last week saying he was sorry if he was an embarrassment and mentioning concussion problems. all right, sony pictures suspects one of its comedies may have led to a massive hacking.

but what it costs the studio is no laughing matter. a close look at this after the break. stay with us.

a programming note for our international viewers. our chief correspondent christiane amanpour will be at the vatican. looking at the issue of modern-day stlafrry, as well. find out what pope francis has to say about the fight against

human trafficking on a special edition of amanpour from rome. that starts tuesday at 7 p.m. in london, 8 p.m. central european time only on cnn. well, sony pictures is reportedly looking into whether north korea is behind a massive hack of their computer system. at least five unreleased sony films have appeared online since that attack. sony is about to release a comedy that includes a cia plot to assassinate leader kim jong-un which has angered pyongyang but one expert says this sort of hacking is not pyongyang style. martin williams is the founder of north korea tech org, a blog that tracks technology in north korea and i spoke with him about sony's suspicions. >> one of the things you got to remember with north korea it is always difficult to predict what the country's thinking and doing, but i do have to say that looking at the hack and what we know about it so far it does seem quite unusual that north

korea would be involved in something like this. it doesn't really seem to fit the kind of things this i've been blamed for in the past. >> okay, so if it's not north korea who would have done this and made five unreleased films available on line. >> in the past with attacks like this especially ones that have caused big splash in the media, the ones have had groups claiming responsibility that we've seen in this case and groups asking for ransoms in releasing information is usually individual small groups of hackers that have managed to find way way into a company, download information and either try to get money or fame from it. that seems much more likely than having a state -- usually if countries go after other companies or organizations they don't want to publicize it but want to do it as secretly and quietly as possible so that's why i think it's a hacker or small group of hackers. >> but it's interesting because back in june, north korea complained to the united nations about this very same movie,

didn't it? it said this is an act of war and threatened stern punishment would be meted out. you don't think that possibly plays some part here, that maybe someone outside of north korea but linked to north korea may have a motive here? >> well, like i said it's always possible but still it doesn't really seem likely. north korea issues a lot of threats through its state run news agency all the time. threats to the united states, to japan, to south korea, constantly being threatened with things like all-out war so the kind of thing they said is really not that unusual. certainly that's usually the way they complain something about this. threats or bluster that goes out over the airwaves, but usually doesn't get followed up by anything. >> what do you think this might also say about security, computer security at sony? >> obviously that sony needs to do better. a few years ago in 2011 sony

computer entertainment which is the division of sony that runs the playstation had a massive hack that saw the release of millions of pieces of information from their users, so this is another unfortunate incident for the company. >> that has to be pointed out, not the first time north korea has been accused of cyberattacks like this, but how does this compare or how is it different to these previous accusations? >> well, it's certainly not the first time they've been accused and in the past they've been accused and seen pretty good evidence later down the line. sometimes organizations particularly in south korea are very quick to blame north korea, that pans out sometimes and other times it doesn't. probably the biggest incident that's involved north korea so far took place last year where they got malware a malicious piece of software into the computer networks at several major south korean tv stations that took their internal computer networks down, didn't affect broadcasting but the computers in the organizations and also at the same time

affected an atm network of a bank. >> martin williams, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. and, of course, we don't know who's behind this cyberhacking. >> that's the follow-up question. who is it? >> the thing is whoever it is, this is a wake-up call to all of these companies, when you think that sony hasn't got themselves secure, then it is a wake-up call and the fbi is saying just be cautious. >> everyone listen up and be careful now. >> absolutely. >> a threat out there. all right, still to come for you on cnn, a u.s. republican aide learns the hard way that comments on the presidential kids should be off-limits. especially on social media. stay with us for this. let me get tyes?straight... lactaid® is 100% real milk? right. real milk. but it won't cause me discomfort. exactly, no discomfort, because it's milk without the lactose. and it tastes? it's real milk! come on, would i lie about this?

welcome back. u.s. transportation officials are addressing the extra long security lines at chicago's midway airport sunday that at one point reached almost two kilometers. that's over a mile according to a report of komo tv. >> unbelievable. we all know how long that is and it's just incredible to think that's what we're dealing with. the tsa says it did not open checkpoints early enough even though more passengers would be coming through. it also says staffing was, quote, less than anticipated sunday morning. i think so. the sunday after thanksgiving is, of course, one of the busiest travel days of the year in the united states. now, a u.s. republican aide is out of a job after a facebook post she wrote criticizing

president obama's daughters went viral. >> yeah, dana bash reports it's not the first time presidential children have made headlines. >> you are hereby pardoned. >> reporter: it was a standard first family event. pardoning the thanksgiving turkey. until a republican congressional aide wrote a mean-spirited rant about the teenage daughters try showing a little class, dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. that post chastising malia, 16 and sasha, 13 went viral forcing elizabeth lauten, communications director for steve fincher to apologize but it wasn't enough. today she resigned. >> children, especially the first daughters, should be off-limits in the political discourse from attacks. >> reporter: that's the republican party spokesman, agreeing with the white house. >> i was taken aback that there was some, you know -- a political operative on capitol hill who did use the occasion of

the thanksgiving -- of a thanksgiving-themed event to criticize members of the first family. >> reporter: it has long been a bipartisan goal to respect and protect the privacy of presidential kids living in a fish bowl through no fault of their own. but that hands-off policy has limits. chelsea clinton, like the obama girls, lived in the white house during her teenage years and was largely left alone with some glaring exceptions like when "saturday night live" mocked her appearance. >> rush limbaugh compared her to a dog. >> cute kid, let's look who the cute kid is in the white house. no, no, no. that's not the kid. that's -- that's the kid. >> amy carter's first day of school was a media spectacle and when george w. bush's then 19-year-old daughters were charged with violating liquor laws in texas it made headlines. but even that was before social media where anyone with an opinion can express it and occupational hazard in politics

that elizabeth lauten learned the hard way with her mean girl facebook post lashing out at the obama daughters. former gop leadership aide doug hye says it's an important lesson. what was your advice to republican press secretaries like her? >> we would always tell them, think before you tweet. think about what your boss wants to say and if that's what you actually want to echo. think about what one role we would say does mom want to read this. if mom doesn't want to read it you may not want to say it. >> reporter: good advice for all of us these days. dana bash, cnn, washington. >> all right. mom, listen up, after a disappointing holiday shopping weekend, millions of americans turned to the internet in search of cyber monday bargains. the reports are sales jumped 8.1% from 2013 but that growth rate is less than half of last year's year-to-year increase. one reason could be many cyber monday deals start early and extend through the week. >> this year more people are

shopping on their smartphones or tablets. accounting for about 20% of cyber monday sales. online retailer amazon.com wants to make sure all of those cyber monday orders get out to shoppers as fast as possible. >> of course, and the company is using a robot army to move presidents' day quickly through warehouses, how it all works is pretty cool. take a look. the system serves a core function, enabling the very rapid taking of products for delivery. the inventory drives to the associates and is ready right when it's time to go to the customers. once the item is received, a robot brings up a storage pod for an associate to put

inventory in so it's available for the customer to ship and on the other side when a customer places an order the drive unit will bring the inventory to the associate to be picked. in the past an order may have taken an hour and a half to get through our total system to go to customers. now we get them in as little as under 15 minutes in some cases out to customers. they are about like nfl linemen. sort of 350 pounds, lift about 750 pounds. they're fast and super efficient. ♪ >> the automation approach we take is all about using automation to improve and to help the associates do their jobs. it's not replacing associates doing their jobs, it's making the job more efficient and helping support them for delivering customer orders this holiday season. we're very excited about kiva and we're also very excited about unmanned aerial vehicles and think the ability to use those devices for ultra fast delivery to customers is right there and is actually feasible and we're going to be ready to do it when we get clearance to do it. i think you're going to see a

world where unmanned aerial vehicles are delivering packages in under 30 minutes. >> as long as they deliver at the right place. >> details. >> exactly. thanks for watchingen cnn. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm errol barnett. those four hours flew by.
