♪ janet jackson's huge news becoming a first-time mom at 50. what she's revealing about her new son, as rhythm nation celebrates this morning. can't go wrong listening to a little janet jackson. oh, a lot for her and her husband to celebrate this morning. welcome baby boy eissa. her rep says everyone is doing well. >> such great news. a lot more on that coming up. a big day in congress. everyone got sworn in. check out this moment. roger marshall getting sworn in. his son in the middle, jostling. well, he's dabbing, jostling with speaker paul ryan. we'll tell you what happened coming up. first the breaking news. the trail derailment in brooklyn. a dozen people injured. let's go to eva pilgrim on the

scene right now. >> reporter: emergency respon r responders tend to the more than 70 people that are injured at this hour. all people just trying to get to work this morning. the train barrelled into the new york city station during the height of rush hour. it appeared to speed up when it should have been coming to a stop. careening off the track and on to the platform. >> it was terrible. you could see people crying and screaming and then they said it started smoking. >> reporter: passengers inside the train thrown against windows and doors. some winding up on the floor. >> before you knew it, it was just -- the impact and people were like flying and some people that the last two -- like the last cars of the train don't platform so there were people walking forward while the train was in motion. and the impact came. my face went into the chair in

front of me. my knees went in and you know, it was just very scary. >> reporter: emergency personnel racing to the scene to tend to the at least 70 wounded. >> my back is hurting. a lot of people i ride with, their backs, their legs. it was a real -- it was like unbelievable. >> reporter: several of those waiting for the train said they heard a loud boom. >> the times that we live in when you hear a boom and crash, you know, you automatically start they'ring the worst like is someone attacking us? you don't know what to think. >> reporter: we have heard that the federal railroad administration is in route to this scene. we'll hear later today george. >> now to the trump transition. inaugust inugg race 16 days away. as wikileaks founder denies his leaks came from russia. brian ross is here with the

story, good morning brian. >> good morning george overnight donald trump claimed that the long awaited report on who hacked the democratic party had been delayed and will be delivered to him this friday. in his twitter post. trump continued to cast doubt about the role of the russians. perhaps more time needed to build a case, he wrote. very strange. now trump is being joined in his skepticism by the man who has been hiding out in the embassy in london for the last four years. julian assange. the founder of wikileaks. appearing on fox with sean hannity. >> we can say -- we have said repeatedly, over the last two months, that our source is not the russian government. and it is not state party. >> reporter: but the head of the cia says in effect, assange doesn't know what he's talking about. that it was the russians. >> this report is going to include what it is we know about what happened. what was collected. what was disclosed.

and what the purpose and intent of that effort was. >> reporter: and officials say it's equally clear that the embarrassing democratic party e-mails were delivered to wikileaks by a middleman for the russians, or what spies call a cutout. >> there's no way assange would have any idea who was behind dropping the information off. the russian intelligence services are clearly capable of hiding their tracks. of using a cutout to provide this information to wikileaks. >> reporter: now the president-elect finds himself strange bedfellows with russian president putin and wikileaks' founder assange who deliver messages much like that of trump's transition team. >> they're trying to delegitimize the trump administration as it goes into the white house. >> whether assange is a knowing participant or what the russians call a useful idiot, it's hard to tell. but nonetheless, the russians were very much behind the hacking and dumping of this information. >> reporter: and officials tell abc news this morning, both president obama and the president-elect will receive their copies of the report with

a briefing on friday, george. >> there seems to be crossed wires. it appears the president-elect and members of his team were under the impression the briefing was coming earlier in the week, probably yesterday. >> reporter: that's right. intelligence officials say that there was never a plan to give it any time before friday. friday was always the date. there was no delay. they're not sure what he's talking about, whether it's a simple miscommunication or the growing distrust mr. trump is fueling with twitter messages. president-elect trump putting the pressure on congress going against members of his own party for trying to strip power from the congressional ethics office. house republicans quickly reversing course on tuesday. our congressional correspondent mary bruce has more and joins us from washington. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it's a new republican era, here on capitol hill, nearly a decade in the making. this morning, republicans are trying to move on after their first day was overshadowed by stumbles and a clash with the president-elect. this morning, donald trump showing he can get republicans to fall in line. just a day after republicans

voted to eliminate an independent ethics body, the measure was scrapped. are you concerned about the message this is sending on the first day of the new congress? >> well, i think a good message is being sent here. which is, you know, republican leadership and membership alike said this is a problem. we need to change it. and we just did. >> reporter: republicans buckling under pressure from constituents, party leaders, and the president-elect. trump tweeting -- with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog, as unfair as it may be, their number one act and priority? focus on tax reform, health care, and so many other things of far greater importance. abc news learning trump called house speaker paul ryan right after the ethics changes were ditched. republicans trying to regroup. taking the first step towards repealing obamacare. >> this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. this is the kind of thing that most of us only dreamed about. i know because i used to dream

about this a lot. >> reporter: but the democrats, with their new leader in the senate who is friendly with trump, are vowing to keep republicans in check. >> it is not our job to be a rubber stamp. it's our job to do what's best for the american people, the middle class, and those struggling to get there. >> reporter: now, as the capital prepares for the inauguration, just 16 days away, we have learned that all of the former living presidents, except george h.w. bush, will be here for the big date. even hillary clinton will be up on that stage putting her face to face with donald trump for the first time since the campaign and in front of an audience of millions. robin? >> that will be quite a moment. mary. and also that moment that george was alluding to earlier with paul ryan. a little bit of a lesson in dabbing? >> yeah, that's the real debate up here this morning what is dabbing? house speaker paul ryan was swearing in a new kansas representative. the whole family there posing for pictures when suddenly the congressman's son showed off the popular dance move.

house speaker paul ryan had no idea what was going on. he asked the boy if he needed to sneeze. the speaker later on twitter saying he had just sworn in nearly 300 new members but still has no idea what dabbing is this morning. in case you're wondering, the young man today is so grounded. >> the tweet just came out. the kid was being kind of a jerk. >> yeah, he had it wrong. isn't it two hands? i don't know. i mean -- and paul ryan was entirely clueless, which surprised me, because cam newton did this. paul ryan is a big football fan. i don't know. >> stand by. we want to move on to the president-elect taking another victory lap after calling out ford for a plan to build a $1.6 billion plant in mexico yesterday. the company called trump to say they're scrapping the plan, adding hundreds of jobs in the u.s. our business correspondent rebecca jarvis spoke to ford's ceo about the decision. good morning. >> reporter: the plant in mexico was a focus of donald trump's criticism on the campaign trail. ford is now scrapping the plans,

moving production of the new ford focus to a pre-existing plant in mexico. rather than adding 2,800 jobs in mexico, they'll create 700 jobs here in the u.s. for new electric and self-driving cars. i asked ford's ceo mark fields what role the president-elect played in the decision. did you feel pressure from president-elect donald trump to make this decision? >> we look at a lot of different factors. one of the factors that we're looking at is our view is that there's going to be more positive business environment for u.s. manufacturing under president-elect trump. his pro-growth policies we think could be very beneficial. and this is a vote of confidence that we feel he can deliver on those things. >> reporter: and ahead of the announcement, fields says he shared the news in a phone call with president-elect donald trump and vice president-elect mike pence. fields tells me it was a positive conversation. >> two instances with the

congress on the ethics thing and the ford announcement where you see big institutions unwilling to cross him. >> no doubt. the thing with congress is very interesting. donald trump is more popular in the districts of many of the republican congressmen than the congressmen themselves. he has the ability to really put some pressure on them. in this case, he was backing up republican leadership. paul ryan and kevin mccarthy, the republican leaders, wanted this reversed. donald trump was on their side. what happens the next time when he's against leadership? he's got the power to move. the ford thing, 700 jobs in an economy that has to create 200,000 a month is not a big thing in a macro. very powerful and once again, symbolic. >> the taunting of the intelligence community, at odds with senate republicans on whether russia was behind this. that comes to a head this week. >> absolutely. this briefing. the intelligence community is irritated.

they're irritated to see trump questioning them in public. he's used intelligence in quotes. they say the briefing was scheduled for friday. but here's the question. what happens when trump is called into the situation room and has to make a decision on an act of war based on intelligence presented to him by the very people he's right now questioning? >> and he's certainly willing to pressure them. we see a big showdown coming. it will play out on capitol hill today. president obama going to speak to democrats about the obamacare repeal. vice president-elect pence going to speak to republicans. this is going to be the big battle over the next two months. >> this is the first big battle. the republican strategy is to say we're going to repeal obamacare. not all of it. most of it. then make it effective in about three years. so it will give them about three years' time to figure out how to replace it. the first step is not immediate. it will be an immediate battle, immediate vote. but obamacare will not be repealed until toward the end of trump's term. >> the question is, what happens

to the health insurance community in the intervening years? 16 days away from the inauguration. the acceptances are starting to come in. >> what a moment that will be to see trump there with the other former presidents. president bush, president clinton, of course hillary up there. he's not only getting sworn in as president. he's getting welcomed into the most exclusive club of all. the club of presidents. >> that's a sign there to see the former presidents there with him. you're right. let's talk about the weather now. the arctic blast moving in. snow and ice shutting down an interstate in colorado. what's going on? >> i-70 in colorado. we have the pictures of all that traffic. right around loveland pass this video is from. that was happening and we've got more storms on the way. we needed to warn you of this. look what's happening in sacramento, california. trees down. so much rain in the last couple of days. so much yet to come in the next week or so. we have winter storm warnings and advisories that stretch to illinois. the winter weather alerts, the wind chill warnings are for 40

to 45 below zero in parts of north and south dakota this morning. these are numbers for thursday morning. it will feel like 10 below in chicago, 2 below detroit. 9 for boston. the cold air sweeps to the east. with it it will squeeze some moisture out. up to six inches in in bay area. up to four feet of mountain snow. they're very happy with that. but look at this picture out of utah. remember where this happened just a couple of days ago. >> this happened again. >> it happened again at the same resort. we have that young man dangling from the ski lift by his backpack. fortunately they were able to get two people up there and get him off. he's okay. >> glad he's okay. >> it's great to have the snow. you have to be safe on the slopes. >> thank you. we move overseas now for the latest on the deadly new year's eve terrorist attack. turkish officials are searching for the killer. there's the suspect. they detained five more people overnight. alex marquardt is on the scene, takes us inside the nightclub. where the attack went down.

good morning alex. >> reporter: we're inside the reina nightclub. once so popular with tourists and turkey's elite. now eerie and empty. you can see here little changed since the horrible night. the bar still piled high with bottles and glasses. back there on the mirror happy new year is written. instead this new year started in a way no one could ever have imagined. bullet holes. blood stains on the wall. the remnants of a celebration turned into a nightmare. this morning, we walked through the club. unnervingly frozen in the moment of the massacre that took 39 lives. as the gunman made his way through the club, the guests were so desperate to flee that around 50 of them jumped here into the frigid waters to escape. and you're right there. ali is the manager of reina. he showed us where he was that night at the entrance when the gunman stormed in. as bullets land around him, you can see him falling. the gunman ran past and shot the

man next to him. did you think you would survive? i survived, he tells me. but i'm not happy to be alive. the trauma clearly so fresh and painful. this morning, turkish authorities say they know the shooter's name and have his fingerprints from the gun he left behind. they've tracked his movements and arrested dozens said to be connected to the attack, including the man's wife, who said she had no idea he was affiliated with isis. for now, the killer remains on the run. with the manhunt in its fourth day, the shooter could have gotten out of istanbul and could be anywhere in the country, even farther. he's suspected of having fought with isis in syria. the fear is that he could slip back across that border into isis-held territory. george? >> okay, alex, thank you very much. >> now a protest over one of president-elect's nominees. >> we are getting our first look

at protesters at the alabama office of jeff sessions. president-elect trump's nominee for attorney general. the naacp led the sit-in protest. the president of the civil rights group was among six people taken into custody. people taken into custody. they want sessions to be removed from consideration. they've questioned his stance on voter and civil rights. >> a school officer caught on video slamming a girl to the floor is now placed on administrative leave. witnesses say the girl was trying to break up a fight involving her sister. the teen's mother told reporters the girl suffered a concussion. the fda says it will investigate the danger of e-cigarette batteries. after dozens of fires and explosions in recent weeks. some victims suffered serious injuries. the fda began regulating e-cigarettes for the first time last year. it's a tough day on the ice for a polar bear. filming a commercial for a car dealership in minnesota. take a look. the polar bear mascot was trying

to pose for the camera there. couldn't keep his balance. he fell over. and over. and over again. just when you thought he would hold it all together, there he is. well, down goes white bear mitsubishi. they posted the outtakes online. i thought a pun, i don't know. i thought it would be polarizing. is that unbearable? sorry. >> no, no. are there more? do you have more? >> no mas. >> it's im-paws-ible. >> oh, another one in there. you're masterful. we love you, everybody in the southeast. you don't do great with snow. everybody is talking about this. thursday through saturday the timing. as the cold air comes in. a couple of lows slide across. there's a potential for a wintry mix or snow. watch your local abc stations for the latest on that. your local weather in 30 seconds. first the wind chill forecast brought to you by burlington.

it had all the ingredients. murder in beverly hills. a family shattered in the most horrifying way. as the case unfolded, shocking accusations of what was really going on in that home. the victims -- jose menendez, a cuban immigrant to this country, who made good, becoming a corporate chieftain on both coasts. and became a hollywood power broker. his wife, kitty, who seemed an all-american wife and mom. they seemed to have it all. their sons, lyle, 21 at the time of the crime, and eric, 18, good-looking, outgoing young guys. star tennis players. they had the brightest of futures ahead. behind the closed doors, it was a cauldron of lies and secrets. august 20, 1989, it all boiled over. jose and kitty brutally murdered. shockingly, lyle and eric, their sons, arrested for the crime. in the documentary, we gather so many of the voices. we hear from lyle menendez, by phone, from prison.

about that night. >> my name is lyle menendez. i've been in prison for 26 years. i am the kid that did kill his parents. and no river of tears has changed that and no amount of regret has changed it. >> beverly hills is a quiet town. even the business district kind of folds up at 7:00. we average two murders a year. and, really, don't know what you're in for when you get a murder call. >> what's the problem? >> someone killed my parents. >> where they shot? >> yes. [ crying ] >> 12 shots in the middle of beverly hills on a sunday night and no one calls the police. we're waiting at the house, no one shows up. and i still can't believe it. i'm sitting on the stairs afterwards thinking the police will be there in seconds.

they've got roving patrols. >> many, many people heard the shots. many neighbors came in and said they heard the shots. but nobody called because they figured this is beverly hills. it doesn't happen in beverly hills. >> you call the police. at that point, you had already decided -- >> we were stunned. we felt that we would go to jail, obviously. and we -- it was a selfish reason to just not want to have to go through that. >> by this intersection, i could see the police tape and the police cars in front of the menendez house. as we walked in the front door, the only thing i could detect is the silence. and then in the back of the foyer was this library/family room, which is where the murders occurred. the television was on. so it was just a normal evening for them. kitty was wearing white. she was covered in blood. jose had a shotgun blast to the back of his head.

it was -- uh -- really horrendous. >> when jose and kitty were found dead, the police didn't do what they normally do in a case like that. >> there are things that could have been done that night that would have proven that they were the killers. the murder weapons were in their car. nobody bothered to look. >> at the time, we felt they were victims. you're not going to press them because their parents just got blown away. >> i remember it was the morning after the murder. i pulled up to the house. and then all of the sudden, my car door slammed open. and eric jumped in and scared the hell out of me. frantically said to me that they needed my husband's legal help. i said, eric, what is going on here? he says, mrs. wright, my parents were murdered last night. and i said, what?

he was not sad, not crying. no emotion whatsoever. who would think of legal advice the day of your parents' murder? unless you're guilty. >> but the real issue in the case wasn't who did it. they quickly confessed after they were arrested. the question is, why did they kill their parents? what they said about that in court. claims of a life of abuse, including sexual abuse at the hands of their father. that shocked the country. triggered a national debate. one last thing. that interview with barbara walters in 1995, that is the last time they saw each other. if the penal system works, they'll never see each other again. >> you said from the beginning. this has stayed with you all of these years. >> it was so emotional. if you remember. their testimony about this. their claims that this family was actually a toxic cauldron that they lived in all those years. and to be in that room where

they told the story of their lifetime of abuse, which many people didn't believe. some people did. it was -- it was haunting. it really was. >> we'll hear some things we haven't heard before? >> indeed. it's good work. >> take care of that cold, terry.

and we're back now with our big board. we start with harmful fumes inside planes after seven crew members from an american airlines flight were hospitalized. this come on the heels of another flight. 12 flight attendants were acting

strangely on a british airlines flights. what's going on here? >> no one knows. this is difficult to figure out what is going on. it's not easy to detect. if you're going to ask someone who is fixing your airplane to find the source of an odor, it's not like there's a warning light in the cockpit. not like you can see a leak. it's very hard to detect. it's also not persistent. the cabin air is recirculated almost every three minutes. while you may have something that occurs on the airplane, by the time it lands, it's probably not there anymore. the only common thread we can find is this tends to happen on older airplanes. as the airplanes get old, they may leak fluids into the air conditioning system. >> american airlines released a statement saying we take cabin odor issues seriously and have devoted extensive efforts over time to address these types of concerns. what should the airline do here, steve? >> we did some digging. we found this is the third

instance of this particular american airlines aircraft having reports of fumes in the cabin. so, in just in the past two months. and so american obviously has a problem with this aircraft. this is not an airlines problem in general. it's a manufacturer problem. the manufacturers insist their cabin air is good. the faa has told us they don't have the resources or the people to do a true scientific study or to monitor cabin air. until we get science, we'll see more of these stories. >> thank you, steve. a huge year for holiday shopping. sales up to over $196 billion. and yet, despite that, a new report in "usa today" reveals more stores may soon be closing in 2017. becky worley joins us now. record sales. but stores are closing. what is going on here? >> counterintuitive, right? holiday sales up 4%. biggest shopping season since 2011.

retail consultants expecting a continued closure of brick and mortar stores. macy's said they'll close 100 stores in 2017. why? you guessed it. the big sales growth was online. not helping the brick and mortar locations. another crazy stat. some estimates rolling in, there are about $60 billion in returns this holiday season. tomorrow is national returns day. apparently this is a thing now. according to u.p.s., they estimate tomorrow, 1.3 million packages will be shipped back to retailers. these individual returns are a huge hassle. instead of putting them back on the shelves, they cut their losses, they send them to liquidators. you may have seen these. these are online, pop-up liquidators. they unload the items for pennies on the dollars. it eats into profits. the upside for us, we get those items on sale for 30% to 60% off.

>> big sales coming up, too. >> yeah, we're talking about sites like zulily, amazon warehouse. there's one called blinq, with a "q." as returns come in, price cuts get better. a couple examples. i saw a designer purse, $39. big cut. leather boots, more than half off. electronics. beats headphones on sale. they're $129 new. at blinq? $89. the only difference, the box is open. >> we can live with that. to privacy concerns over a new device to monitor toddlers and babies. the newest device from mattel. called aristotle. being called an amazon echo for kids. david pogue, explain this. >> it doesn't come out until june. the reason they're announcing it now here in las vegas at the big

consumer electronics show is they hope to get press, like maybe they'll get on "good morning america." i don't know. it has two basic functions. it does everything the amazon echo does. you can say, when was george washington born? what's the weather tomorrow? what does my commute look like? it has a huge list of child-specific things it can do by voice. for example, if your baby wakes up in the night, it will play a lullaby and show a gentle light show. in hopes of lulling your kid back to sleep. for toddlers. it comes with a camera. the toddlers can show cards to it. play games. what animal says moo? the kid says cow. it says, you're right. when you have a tween, it will do homework help. answer, you know, questions like that. >> there are some people that are concerned about this being geared toward children, especially young children. >> yeah, anything to do with children and technology that we don't understand is inherently

frightening. we have all seen that clip that's going around virally lately of a toddler speaking to an amazon echo and the echo actually responded with texts from an adult website. one of the parents was horrified. the other was laughing his head off. mattel says they've built in security and privacy. first of all, this thing understands children's voices. the amazon echo and siri do not. the other big concern is the way these things all work is, when you say something to it, aristotle, what's the weather tomorrow? it transmits your requests to the mothership company, back to apple or amazon or mattel. their computers process it. send it back to you. that is scary to some parents. mattel insists it can't be hacked. as for the camera with the aristotle, it has a link to your phone. it's never transmitted online. never sent out of your house.

and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding.

both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. ♪ ♪ give extra. get extra. achoosnap achoo! snap achoo! achoo! snap snap achoo! achoo! feel a cold coming on? zicam cold remedy nasal swabs shorten colds with a snap, and reduce symptom severity by 45%. shorten your cold with a snap, with zicam. i'm raph. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up,
