we begin tonight with violent weather in the south. time-lapse video shows a tornado touching down today near atlanta. other twisters were reported in florida and louisiana. they were, apparently, not as devastating as some of the 25 reported across the south earlier wednesday morning that left at least five people dead. mark strassmann is in alabama. >> reporter: rosalie, alabama, population 700, took the storm's first knockout punch at five minutes after midnight. this trailer home flipped and killed three people inside. part of a swath of destruction that runs along state highway 71. one resident told us the lights went out, and then he heard a loud growling sound, and in 10 seconds, all these buildings were destroyed and these semitrucks were flipped like tonka toys. in neighboring ider, we found 14-year-old aubrey williams. her aunt and uncle own this former daycare center where her family rode out the storm. only the bathroom still stands.

wind picked us up and threw us, and we went through walls and the roof fell down and collapsed on us. >> reporter: four adults and three children hunkered down here. four of them are in the hospital, including her mother. 100 miles north, 135-mile-per- hour winds raked athens, tennessee. mcminn county sheriff joe guy: >> we have not had a fatality at this point. i think that's something that we're very blessed to be able to say. >>ep this save-a-lot store, james and sherry long took shelter in this 19th century home they've been renovating. it needs a lot more work now. >> i think the only thing we can do to this place is a bulldozer. >> reporter: this is where we met 14-year-old aubrey williams. she told us her mother, uncle, and aunt all had surgery today and are recovering in the i.c.u. anthony, this severe weather system and threat will move into the carolinas overnight. >> mason: mark strassmann,

the storms provided some help in the battle against wildfires in the great smoky mountains of tennessee. today, three more bodies were recovered, bringing the death toll to at least seven. the fires have destroyed more than 700 buildings. demarco morgan is in tennessee. >> reporter: we are standing in what's left of what once was a window to this three-bedroom home, now just part of the frame still left after wildfires destroyed the place. and now all you can see is remnants, burned out appliances pretty much make out like this a.c. here and the fireplace. this home had been in the cogdale family for more than five decades. if you look to my left, you can see the shed and the garage that was also destroyed here, a place that family members said held most of their memorabilia pieces, pieces that they cherish. they also told us that the fire actually started far behind us at this mountain here. the locals call it "the falls," and quickly spread over the highway to where we are now.

>> mason: demarco morgan, thanks, demarco. in north carolina, there will be no criminal charges in the death of 43-year-old keith scott. today, the prosecutor cleared charlotte-mecklenberg police officer brentley vinson, saying the evidence of the shooting in september was justified. here's jericka duncan. >> don't shoot him. he has no weapon. >> reporter: this video, along with eyewitness reports that keith lamont scott was u spurred days of protests in charlotte. but today, district attorney andrew murray said he wanted to debunk what he called misinformation. for instance, eyewitness accounts that scott did not have a weapon. >> mr. scott's gun, a colt .380 semi-automatic was recovered at the scene. it had one round in the chamber. the safety was off and the gun was cocked. >> reporter: murray showed this surveillance video taken shortly before the shooting at a

on scott's ankle and thought it was a holstered gun. officer brentley vinson and another officer were at scott's apartment complex to execute a warrant for someone else's arrest. vinson noticed scot was smoking marijuana in a parked s.u.v. he ignored it. >> that all changed when officer vinson saw mr. scott holding up a semiautomatic handgun as he sat in his vehicle. >> reporter: they approached scott with police vests and told him at least 10 times to drop his weapon. >> drop the gun! >> he had a blank stare, as if he was in a trance-like state. >> reporter: shortly thereafter, vinson fired four shots. >> don't do you it! >> reporter: striking scott in his wrist, abdomen and rear shoulder. vinson spoke to investigators that night. >> reporter: attorney justin bamberg represents the scott family. >> at the end of the day, we're

>> reporter: mr. trump has business holdings in the u.s. and more than 20 countries. the president-elect has already had conversations with heads of state from japan, argentina, and turkey, where daughter ivanka participated. he has met with business partners from india and the philippines. norm eisen is an expert on white house ethics. >> the president-elect not only has substantial domestic interests that stretch across the united states. he has very complex international interests and relationships that implicate foreign governments. >> reporter: the central issue-- will mr. trump sell off his business holdings and place them in a blind trust, as previous presidents have? the key word is "divest." >> what he tweeted about today is not complete separation. it's only separating from operations, not from his ownership interest. no american voted for mr. trump to violate our constitution. >> reporter: after mr. trump's announcement, the office of government ethics tweeted, "brilliant, divestiture is good

the president-elect is making good on a campaign promise to keep jobs from leaving the country. dean reynolds has more from indianapolis. >> reporter: it was one of donald trump's sure-fire applause lines: >> companies like carrier, simply fire their workers, and move their operations to mexico. guess what? not gonna be so easy to do anymore. >> reporter: and to prove that point, trump and vice president- elect mike pence will be here tomorrow when carrier announces it will not be moving as much manpower to mexico, saving about 1,000 american jobs. what's your reaction to this news? >> i'm still in shock, really that mr. trump was able to actually put his words into actions. >> reporter: t.j. bray is a trump-supporting union member who's worked at carrier for 14 years. union workers-- >> yeah, union workers.

>> because this guy was talking the things that everybody wanted to hear. >> reporter: just nine months ago, carrier shocked its workforce. >> the best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long term is to move production from our facility in indianapolis to monterey, mexico. >> reporter: under pressure to maximize profits, u.s. manufacturers have found cheap mexican labor almost irresistible. by reversing course, carrier's parent company, united technologies, now stands to lose $65 million it hoped to save on wages in mexico. but for a company that does a lot of business with the federal government and made $4 billion in profits last year, that's a small price to pay to get out of the doghouse and on to the right side of the president-elect. trump and the company will release details tomorrow, anthony, but carrier said

it was promised, estimated in the millions of dollars, helped to seal this deal. >> mason: dean reynolds, thank you, dean. a cockpit recorder has captured the voice of the pilot of that doomed plane carrying a brazilian soccer team. he tells the tower he is out of fuel. the pilot also said the plane had an electrical failure. the british-made jet went down monday night in the mountains near medellin, colombia, eight miles from the airport. the pilot was among 71 killed. six others survived. the soccer team was flying to the finals of a south american tournament. a u.n. envoy said today there are no red lines left to cross in syria. every rule of war has been systematically disregarded. in aleppo, a bombing campaign by syrian government forces backed by russia has left neighborhoods in ruins.

civilians are caught in the middle. debora patta reports from syria. >> reporter: this is what the aftermath of an artillery strike sounds like as the syrian military continues the assault on the rebel-held parts of aleppo. dozens of people were killed in this attack. grief hangs in the air. this teenaged boy just lost his mother in the strike. "one of my sisters was pulled out alive," he said. "but i don't know about the other." he is one of tens of thousands of civilians caught in the cross-fire as the syrian army continues to advance. they face an impossible choice-- to stay means facing a daily barrage of bombs. but to run can be just as deadly. this woman died in the street with a backpack on her shoulders. those who managed to escape are being housed in makeshift shelters, many already filled to

this old factory houses over 8,000 people, but still, they keep arriving and new beds have to be found. remarkably, children play, perhaps to forget the horror of what they have seen. old men cry, perhaps because they can't forget. in an impassioned plea to the united nations today, anthony, stephen o'brien begged the security council to find ways to protect civilians fleeing the conflict in eastern aleppo before it became what he called one giant graveyard. >> mason: debora patta in damascus, thanks. it's all but certain president obama will leave office without fulfilling one of his original campaign promises-- to shut the u.s. military prison for terror suspects at guantanamo bay, cuba. dozens remain locked up there.

inside look at the prison. >> reporter: these are the remnants of guantanamo's notorious camp x-ray, where hundreds of suspected terrorists were caged in the panicked aftermath of 9/11. the picture today is far different. the 60 remaining detainees, whose faces we were not permitted to film, lounge in modern, open cell blocks, eating and praying regularly. over the past eight years, 180 detainees have been released from guantanamo, leaving most of the prison empty. donald trump has vowed to reverse course. >> and we're going to load it up with some bad dudes, believe me. we're going to load it up. >> reporter: admiral peter clarke, who commands the detention facility, says there is room for hundreds more prisoners. but he vowed never to use harsh interrogation methods like waterboarding which trump has considered reviving. >> that's the debate in washington. that's not the debate here. there is no debate here because

humane care and custody and will continue to be so. >> reporter: there will not be torture at guantanamo? >> i am confident there will not be torture at guantanamo. >> reporter: 21 of the remaining detainees have been cleared for release to other countries, but that leaves some of the most dangerous people still at guantanamo. the obama administration's plan for those risky prisoners, like 9/11 mastermind khaled sheikh mohammed, was to transfer them to high-security prisons in the u.s., but the republican-led congress blocked it. texas congressman mac thornber >> the fear is they will be a magnet for other terrorists to come and either try to break them out or just to punish the communities. >> reporter: lee wolosky, the administration's envoy for closing guantanamo, disagrees. >> we have consistently housed dangerous terrorists in our federal prison system without incident. >> reporter: the administration estimates it will soon cost $10 million per year per guantanamo detainee.

>> we know he was there at the time, so it's pretty darn likely that it was him. >> reporter: seth riley is a wildlife ecologist studying the mountain lions in the area, where more than 50 ranch animals have been killed in the last year. in your eyes here it sounds like the solution is pretty simple. >> it is, yeah, which is to protect livestock. what that means is bringing them in to full enclosures at night. they won't be vulnerable. >> reporter: phillips says hunting the lion is another option. >> with this mountain lion, the only-- i think the only solution is adios, mr. mountain lion. >> reporter: do you think that will solve the problem? >> well, definitely not in the long run because there are other mountain lions out there. so even if they do kill him, there are other mountain lions out there. >> reporter: phillips has just one week left to track down p-45 before his permit runs out. so for now, anthony, the hunter remains the hunted. >> mason: carter evans.

continue to be so. >> reporter: there will not be torture at guantanamo? >> i am confident there will not be torture at guantanamo. >> reporter: 21 of the remaining detainees have been cleared for release to other countries, but that leaves some of the most dangerous people still at guantanamo. the obama administration's plan for those risky prisoners, like 9/11 mastermind khaled sheikh mohammed, was to transfer them to high-security prisons in the u.s., but the republican-led congress blocked it. texas congressman mac >> the fear is they will be a magnet for other terrorists to come and either try to break them out or just to punish the communities. >> reporter: lee wolosky, the administration's envoy for closing guantanamo, disagrees. >> we have consistently housed dangerous terrorists in our federal prison system without incident. >> reporter: the administration estimates it will soon cost $10 million per year per guantanamo detainee. and they say that exorbitant
