treasury department and target the north korean military, and we understand they expand on the existing sanctions already in place against north korea. we understand they will go after north korea's intelligence, the country's primary arms dealer, and a pseudo government corporation that deals in commodities that has ties to the military. the penalties will zero in on ten individuals in north korea who have not been hit by sanctions before who also have ties to iran, syria, and china. this is the first visible response to the cyber attack on sony which led the studio to pull the release of the movie view -- "the interview." the movie had a limited release on christmas day. >> you mentioned some sanctions have already been improcessed, though. tell us about those. >> these sanctions, the u.s. sanctions date back to george w. bush president george w. bush, back when he was president and president obama himself has issued two rounds of sanctions

and this is the third. those three entities have been hit by sanctions, thisindividuals did not. kim jong-un denied that north korea had anything to do with the cyber attack and the country threatened repercussions. president obama sent a letter to congressional leaders explaining his executive order. the order is not at the people of north korea but aimed the government of north korea and its activities. a senior administration official said this was only part of the response for the attack of sony so there will likely be more to come. he said that this cyber attack crossed the threshold and was more sophisticated and more dangerous than previous attacks. john? >> dan springer traveling with the president in honolulu. thank you. u.s. and coalition war planes have hammered islamic state militants in more than syria. they say allied jets overnight

launched a dozen airstrikes against militant positions. officials say those included targets in kobani and raqqa. isis still controls large sections of syria and iraq. the red areas on the map. the "washington post" newspaper reports the mill taps are eming closer to an air nice iraq where hundreds of u.s. troops are stationed. the base is in anbar province, west of baghdad. the reuters news agency reports video shows iraqi forces retaking part of the province from isis but a top iraqi general warns the country's military may not be strong enough. they need weapons equipment, and soldiers who are prepared to fight. he also says u.s. air support has been, quote, erratic. meantime video emerged reportedly showing two italian hostages women who were working as aid volunteers in syria. jennifer griffin is live at theon.

what more are we learning from the video? >> the 24-second video was posted on new year's eve, shows to young italian female volunteers in their 20s, kidnapped last summer in syria by islamists and now believed held by the al qaeda-linked news practice. the italian government has been working hard to secure their release. the young women's captors say they were snatched to protest italian involvement in the u.s.-led antiisis coalition. what makes this video so worrisome is that italian officials thought they were on the verbal of securing their release, and now they are concerned that the two young women may be traded for ransom to isis. >> this latest round of coalition airstrikes, tell us about them. >> well, two strikes were carried out around mosul. the latest video from u.s.

central command, centcom shows air s from december 29th december 29th around fallujah. in syria u.s. war planes destroyed 20 isis vehicles in and around raqqa where the jordanian f-16 pilot went down and one of the 13 airstrikes in kobani on the turkish border reportedly killed a saudi prefer nope as the spiritual leader of isis. a professor at king university in saudi arabia and was a recruiter for isis. new u.n. figures show that last year what the deadliest year in iraq since 2006-2007. 12,282 iraqi civilians were killed in terror attacks last year alone john. >> jennifer griffin at the pentagon, thank you. admiral is a former nato supreme allied commander and author of the book "the accident." now dean of the fletcher school of law and diplomacy at tufts university. admiral, this interview with

lieutenant general abdul assadi the guy who is leading much of the batting against isis in iraq is complaining u.s. airstrikes are eve rat tick. what do you make of those claims? >> i think that's nonsense, john. the strikes have been ramping up pretty proportionally. we're up to around 1400 total. i would argue we probably could raise that number but you always need appropriate intelligence you. can't just randomly drop bombs in a confused situation. i think the air response has been quite capable and quite good. >> some of our military analysts have said you cannot conduct an effective air campaign without a significant number of forces on theground to act as spotters and thus far, either the president or the pentagon or both have been loathe to put those forces on the ground. your thoughts? >> we are not going to be able to bomb our way to success in this campaign, john. we know that from a variety of other places we have attempted that kind of work.

i think what we're going to need to do is put more u.s. troops on the ground probably edging up north of 5000, 6,000 7,000. now, we had 160,000 in iraq at the peak so this is not some huge deployment. i think over time we'll need those special forces on the ground to make the beening campaign -- bombing campaign more effective. it's having real effect thus far against the islamic state also we can see by the results in kobani. >> we have 2,000 people on the ground right now headed toward 3,000. you're saying we're going to in your view, more than double that number? >> i guess as we get into this year and see what the effect of the combined campaign from the north, working with the kurdish military from the south, with the iraqi security forces and the bombing we're doing in the west, we need to evaluate it but i would guess by spring we'll be making decisions probably to increase the number of troops

how high that ultimately goes, anybody's guess at this point. i'd say for a truly effective campaign we'll need probably 6,000 or so u.s. special forces advisers-mentors trainers, not in front-line combat roles but doing the kind of support mission that we're doing actually rather effectively in afghanistan today. >> the president also emphasized he doesn't see u.s. forces in combat roles about we just talked about the fact we have 300 troops at an air base that is coming under frequent rocket and mortar attack. if that happens, those troops are supposed to defend themselves. right? are they permitted to defend themselves? >> of course they are, and this is the nature of these kind of conflicts, john. as you quite well know from your own son's deployment there are no real front line's in these things. all the troops we send forward have to be prepared to fight and they are prepared to fight if necessary to defend themselves. >> back to that interview with

lieutenant general assadi, the iraqi leading the fight against isis. he says the iraqis need weapons, equipment, and soldiers who are prepared to fight. i thought that's what we left them with when we pulled out of iraq. >> we did. left them with all those things and the mistake was the complete withdrawal of u.s. advisers and trainers, along with nato training mission, which was still in iraq at the time john. we're going to hopefully avoid that mistake in afghanistan. we're going to leave around 10,000 u.s., 5,000 coalition troops. i would argue if we left those advisers mentors and trainers back in iraq, we wouldn't be in this position. but we have now got to recreate that sense of momentum on the battlefield, and that's going to require an ongoing u.s. presence as well as nato, turkish and others to be part of the of the. >> but isis has 50,000 or so fighters who are pretty well trained, pretty well funded? that's going to be tough to turn

that situation ripped, isn't -- around, isn't it. >> it is and we'll need more than just the u.s. it has to be an international coalition. i would look prince my to turkey which has an army of 400,000 troops, the second largest army in nato and they're the most directly involved on the bored. the jordanians have capable land troops and and the bulk has to come from the iraqi security forces, both the regular army troops in the south and the peshmerga from the kurdish forces in the north. together they've got probably 200,000 deployable troops. they need training, equipment they need mentors, particularly those in the south. the kurds in the north are fighting pretty well. i think we can find the boots on the ground other than u.s. troops to do this but we have to provide the stiffener in the process. >> admiral thanks. >> thank you john. >> the call came around 4 in the

pain having difficulty breathing, but still alert and conscious. john. >> what do investigators say about this? >> well, because -- they're approaching this with an open mind, they say, because this case involves a high profile law enforcement official. they want to make sure they conduct their investigation thoroughly. so in addition to the internal investigation being conducted by peachtree city police, they have also called in state authorities to conduct an independent investigation. the georgia bureau of investigation has already been out to the couple's home, gathering evidence. >> all the facts are known they'll turn over a file to our office and we'll review to see if in fact there's been any criminal activity. we have no leanings one way or the other at this point because we just don't know. >> and investigators say they do plan to interview margaret mccollum once her condition

begins to improve. >> his own department is investigating him along with the parallel state investigation. >> exactly. there's an internal investigation which you would anticipate anytime that a police officer is involved in a shooting, but in addition to that they've called in the georgia bureau of investigation to run this parallel investigation of the circumstances surrounding the shooting, because after all, this is the town's highest ranking police official. >> strange story. thank you. >> certainly. >> police say they caught a father and son who went on a crime spree across two states-killing a couple in north carolina, before shooting two police officers in west virginia. cops say the shootout happened yesterday in louseburg, southeast of charlesston. they say officers pulled over the son, who was driving an suv with stolen plates. during the stop police say his father pulled over in a truck and shot at the officers witch a handgun, wounding both of them. cops say one officer returned fire hitting the gunman in the leaking. both suspects left the scene but

a fire truck flipped over and landed in dave missouri, firefighters. officials say crews were responding to david crash west of st. louis when the struck slid on an icy patch of road. the firefighters went to a hospital but were not severely hurt. crews later flipped the truck back on to its wheels. >> scientists say a half million americans die each year from cancer but according to new research the majority of cancers are not due to poor lifestyle or lifestyle choices or inherited genes as doctors objects thought but rather just plain back luck. brain tumors and bone and ovarian cancers often strike at random, while throat, lung, and skin cancers tend to be caused by lifestyle choices like smoking or sun exposure.

according to the american cancer society, cancer is the second most common cause of death in the united states, exceeded only by heart disease. and it accounts for nearly one of every four deaths. here to talk about this new research dr. bob laheda, chairman of inned sick -- medicine and professor of medicine at rutgers medical school. the majority of cancers could be just random? >> actually, john, i don't agree with this at all. they're saying two-thirds of the cancers that we getting out of luck. that means that we have in our bodies these cells we call stem cells. stem cells can become any organ, brain, heart, lung, skin bone and they're saying an arrow that can occur by happenstance in one of our dna molecules, the genetic material in the cell can cause a cancer and doesn't depend on whether you spoke or eat fat whether you sit on a

tanning bed or do something else environmental changes. >> kind of a fluke. >> just a fluke. and we don't agree with that and i'll tell you why. there are stem cells in the prostate and they don't multiply very quickly and if we're presuming our cancers arise because of multiplying cells in great numbers, and the prostate doesn't this the breast done, which brain doesn't, and yet we have cancers of those organs and they're very common. so, a lot more research has to be done before we say it's bad luck that you're just one of those people that are going to get cancer because of a stroke of some bad thing that happened to you. i think that environmental factors, genetics play a role. we have something new called noninheritted genetics that result from temperature, environment, where you live what you eat, et cetera. >> a lot of people are afflicted by cancer and they're just left scratching their heads. my mother died of lung cancer

and never smoked a day in her life. >> these kind of errors stem cell maturation are believable that a dna insult something that can happen to a gene will cause the cancer. however there are other mitigating factors. we don't know what environmental factors, such as diet that you ate, how high your co lows central is, may have -- cholesterol is. >> so this isn't a license to eat all the fatty food you want and smoke a lot. >> definitely not. and all the more reason to have a colonoscopy and a chest x-ray and get checked out for potential cancers because. >> because those tests really can catch a lot of cancers before they -- >> catch them and cure them. >> we have gotten to the point if you get them early enough, if you find these things early enough you can do a pretty good job of stopping cancer. >> most are curable today believe it or not. >> that guess news. great way to start 2015. >> it is. >> thank you doctor. >> crews working to pull victims

crews off indonesia pulled more than 20 victims of airasia flight 8501 out of the water. some of them still strapped to their seats. that brings total number of bodies recovered to 30 thus far. of the 162 people onboard. teams in the u.s., helicopters and a navy ship have been working through rough weather. a second american ship is on the way. we still don't know exactly what caused the crash last week. crews from several countries are still looking for the

all-important black boxes. greg palkot has the news. what's the latest. >> right now it approaching dawn saturday in indonesia. the recovery teams following the wake of that crash of the airasia flight 8501 are hoping for another productive day. on friday there were discoveries, there were recoveries of bodies despite the bad weather. waves as high as ten feet, and the uss sampson the navy destroyer on the scene is playing a big role, locating at least 12 bodies on their own. those and other bodies are being transferred by helicopter back to the indonesian city of surabaya where the doomed flight took off from before hitting the storms and crashing into the sea. four bodies have been identified. one has already been returned to the family and buried.

132 remain missing and the growing consensus is that most of those bodies remain inside the fuselage of the aircraft on the floor of the java sea. >> are the investigators getting any closer to finding the cause? >> bits and pieces, john. for sure. you're a pilot. you know how difficult this task is. along with personal items, recovery teams have come up with more bits of the plane. for example, there were reports they found a bit of a tail fin and that might say something about what caused this. more crucially, on friday starting friday, in various ships, there is now high-tech sonar gear, underwater detection equipment, france sent it u.s. has those assets as well. that's to get a firm fix on exactly where the fuselage is and even more important perhaps to finding out the cause finding those black boxes. the flight data and the cockpit voice recorders that can tell the tale.

as you have been reporting, the consensus is that bad weather was a major factor, but maybe just as important, how the pilots in that plane handled the bad weather. the latest word from the authorities is though it might take at least another week to firmly find both the plane and those boxes. back to you. >> if they are in fact finding victims still strapped anywhere their seats that suggests the fuselage broke open, broke in half effectively. the question is did it happen in the air or happen when the plane hit the water? >> it's a good example of why those black boxes have to be found. we have soon the theory today, you probably saw it, too, that because they were strapped to their seats the feeling of some is that the plane -- the pilots tried to land the plane on the water, ayla the miracle on the hudson river. however other expert says absolutely not. the plane was going up at too fast a rate, it stalled and plummets down to the water. that's the kind of divisions we have now and that's why it's so

important to find the black boxes, to find the wreckage. >> greg palkot. thank you. >> a turbo prop plane goes off the runway in scotland two people were hurt, their injuries are minor. the plane was attempting to take off from the isle of lewis on the way to glasgow. winds at the time reportedly very strong. the aircraft and its 28 passengers ended up nose-first in a nearby field. police told the bbc four passengers had minor injuries. investigators are looking into this one. a judge today denied requests to delay the boston bombing trial and move it out of massachusetts. that means jury selection is set to begin this monday. lawyers for the suspect, dzhokar tsarnaev told the judge they couldn't get a fair jury in the area because virtually everybody in the city is a victim. the prosecutor said moving the trial would create a hardship

for the people hurt in the bombing as well as their families. prosecutors say dzhokar tsarnaev and his brother detonatedded two pressure cooker bombs in the boston marry than. the explosions killed three people, injured some 260s. tamerlan tsarnaev died in a shootout with police. dzhokar tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges. if convicted he could face the death penalty. the judge said the court called more than 1200 people for jury selection. former prosecutor, dan shore joins us now. what about his attorneys' idea he can't gate fair trial anywhere in massachusetts. >> the standard motion you expect them to make. but it's not going to win there are high profile trials everywhere around the done tray that involve people accused of heinous crimes and they get fair trials. it's harder to pick a jury, takes time, but you will find enough jurors and alternates who say they will be impartial and only base their decision on the

evidence. >> if they're picking 1200 people from which to choose a jury of 12, i suppose alternates in a case this big they're looking at a 100 to one ratio. >> it's difficult. a lot of people will be emotionally involved. at jury selection jurors will say they can't be fair and they will be excluded and ultimately you'll find the juror that will sit. it's not a reason to move the trial. besides the fact that everyone is upset about what happened that day, not just people in boston. >> there's a lot of evidence against this guy. let's just imagine at the end of this thing they take it to the jury, the jury takes an hour or two, comps back with a guilty verdict. does the lawyer then get to say look, i told you, judge, these people were prejudiced against my client. >> they could later raise that on appeal. they're going to an appeal court to stop the trial from continuing in boston. that's one issue but ultimately it will be tried in boston and you will have a fair trial. and if he is convicted then there well be another phase to decide whether there's the dealt

penalty imposes on him. >> so this may be more of a delay tactic. >> delay tactic and raisingen issue to use on appeal later. this whole trial isn't about guilt or innocence. it's about will he get the death pents. can the defense attorney save his client's life and does he have enough appealable issues to avoid the death penalty. >> imagine the voir dire here. there is an overwhelming amount of evidence, including the letter that dzhokar tsarnaev supposedly wrote in the boat where they eventually found the guy. what do you say to jurors? if you're presented with this overwhelming amount of evidence, can you still be snare -- be fair? >> the lawyers tarring jurors he or she thinks might be sympathetic to the defense. so they're going to be flesh ought his personality, his history, and you do that through jury selection and also at trial. you'll probably see the defendant's lawyer say the older brother put him up to this. that's not a legal defense but

they only need one juror to not vote for the death penalty in order to avoid the death penalty. >> obviously looking for jurors -- defense is looking for jurors who might be amenable to voting that way. >> right. someone who is sympathetic you. can't be on the jury if you're against the death penalty in order to be on a death penalty trial jury you have to be open to death penalty but the defense attorney will figure out who is more likely to vote no on death. >> with the turmoil that's caused boston and the surroundings cities, it's going to be tough to find somebody who doesn't say i think the guy is guilty and deserves to go. >> it will be tough. but massachusetts is a city that is generally less favorable towards the death -- a state less favorable to the death penalty. they're emotionally involved but don't have the death penalty. this is a federal prosecution. that's why there's a death penalty here. so the defense attorney has a tough job but is do-able and you'll see a tough fight here. >> even in a state that doesn't have the death penalty they might get a a conviction and

finding of death. >> it's not a state government prosecution. it's a federal prosecution. in massachusetts. so the death penalty can be sought. if it was a state prosecution would you would not have a death penalty. thank you. >> video emerged showing people stuck in a deadly stampede in china on new year's eve. this video comes from state-run television. officials say more than 35 people died, nearly 50 others hurt during a stampede in shanghai. investigators say it started half an hour before midnight. shanghai is a major hot spot for chinese new years celebrations. officials there say they are investigating what caused that bottleneck. from manhattan to the white house, americans are remembering former new york governor mario cuomo. we'll take a look at the life of a politician who made it to the national stage but turned down a shot at the highest office in the land.
