has been converted into a secure room impervious to electronic eavesdropping. no electronic devices are allowed inside, including trump's mobile phones. we shouldn't expect any twitter messages. at least while the briefing is under way, george. >> we'll be watching for afterwards. we have seen president obama take action against russia. this will be the full report from the intelligence agencies. what do we know exactly what's going to be in it? >> the u.s. intelligence community is unanimous about the role of the russians. this report is meant to back that up. answer trump's skepticism. key details will remain classified and may never be made public unless trump as commander-in-chief decides to reveals them. which would be his prerogative. he will hear about the unique cyber fingerprints. the officials say implicates the russians with the most sensitive information coming from u.s. spies and u.s. electronic intercepts. officials say it will reveal a direct role of russian president putin and how the russian moved the e-mails to the wikileaks website.

>> is this report going to be convincing to the president-elect? if you don't have all the details, the sources and methods will it be con incidence -- convincing to the public! >> to reveal too much would help the russians shut down any spies or electronic intercepts. >> brian ross, thank you very much. as president obama and president-elect trump prepare for those briefings, a battle is under way on the affordable care act. more than 20 million americans are covered by the plan that republicans are vowing to repeal and replace. our congressional correspondent mary bruce has more. she's there in washington for us. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. republicans have made obamacare their top target. they're taking steps to roll it back. unclear what they plan to replace it with. now with just 15 days left in office, president obama is stepping up his efforts to preserve his legacy. after a health care showdown on capitol hill.

this morning, the big question, what's in store for the millions of americans covered by obamacare. >> thank you. look out for the american people. >> reporter: the president huddling with democrats in a last-ditch effort to save his signature law, a high-stakes battle. more than 20 million people are covered by obamacare and more than 11 million at risk of losing their coverage. >> we're going to repeal obamacare and replace it with solutions that lower the cost of health insurance without growing the size of government. >> reporter: mike pence vowing to take action day one. then what? why still no plan to replace it. >> we have a plan to replace it. plenty of ideas. you'll see as the weeks and months unfold -- >> reporter: the president-elect aware of the potential political consequences is warning his party. tweeting, republicans must be careful in that the democrats own the failed obamacare disaster. adding obamacare will fall of

its own weight. be careful. they're promising to phase it out slowly. >> we want to make sure we don't pull the rug out from anybody with that transition. >> reporter: with the gop still mauling the replacement, they have a message for the republicans. you break it you buy it. >> now they're going to own it. >> reporter: trump is responding saying the democrats led by chuck schumer know how bad obama is and what a mess they are in. he says instead of working to fix it, they do the typical political thing and blame. robin. >> mary, we saw that bernie sanders brought an interesting prop. >> this is how bernie sanders' retweets. he printed out trump's tweet on a giant board. to make the point he's going to use trump's words against him. sanders is urging the incoming president to keep good on his promise to not cut medicare and medicaid. robin. >> mary, thank you. let's talk about this more with jon karl.

chief white house correspondent. you saw bernie sanders there on the floor, donald trump tweeting again this morning, saying that the dems led by chucuck schumer know how bad obamacare is here. a real blame game going on here already. you're starting to see some trepidation by the president-elect on the kind of changes might be coming. >> yesterday, he tweeted that they should let obamacare fall on its own weight. and told republicans in a tweet be careful. there's a realization right now from the trump team specifically from donald trump that this is potentially perilous politically. lot of disruption if you repeal obamacare when they repeal obama care and they don't want to get the blame for that and democrats want to make sure they do get the blame. >> the repeal of obamacare as is currently, would cause real cuts in medicaid which donald trump said he wasn't for. >> donald trump has been specific and consistent on saying there should be no cuts to social security and medicare, absolutely, that was the tweet

that bernie sanders has blown up. the first time i've seen a blown up tweet on the floor from donald trump. but i don't think it will be the last time. >> meantime, you're seeing some differences between donald trump and other republicans on his seeming to back up julian assange of wikileaks. lot of republicans on capitol hill hoping after the intelligence briefing tomorrow donald trump will find a way to endorse the findings. >> yes, he won't endorse any finding that the election was swayed because of the hacking or because of the russians. a narrow finding that russians were responsible for the hacking his team prepares to do. >> quickly, on this possible shakeups in the intelligence community we don't know how extensive that's going to be but who is going to head it. >> i'm told that this is real the proposal to change the intelligence community, to strip power away from the dni, to empower agents in the field, reduce some of the bureaucracy

is real. on that, george, he will have allies in the intelligence community. they will support that. these are the reforms that the intelligence professionals have been calling for for years. the assange, not so much. >> jon, thank you so much. >> you want to do a do-over with the dabbing? >> i do. >> i gave you a chance. >> okay, now to the winter blast moving in. already hitting the west. neal karlinsky is in boulder, colorado. where they're facing the brunt of this winter storm. good morning, neal. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i'm only standing out here long enough to do this live report. it's painful. the thermometer is hovering above zero and they have been expecting a foot of snow and continues to come down relentlessly. they'll shatter that it looks like. overnight, wild weather from coast to coast. icy roads and freezing temperatures causing a messy commute in pennsylvania.

>> reporter: experts -- and even a confession by the brothers to their therapist. >> did you ask them why they killed their mother? >> they felt they were putting their mother out of her misery. >> reporter: the ultimate question was not if the brothers killed their parents but why. >> he killed the parents because he could no longer endure their abuse and had to stop it. >> reporter: both brothers took the stand and told about the abuse. >> can you answer the question? >> yes. >> telling lyle what? >> my dad had been molesting me. >> you could hear a pin drop in the courtroom and that's when i thought, oh, darn, i'm in trouble. >> reporter: two family members stated both lyle and erik had told them of the abuse years before. by the time of the killings, jose menendez had grown disgusted with his sons. >> eric was a disappointment and

whatever joe thought would be right for a young man to behave. >> i met eric menendez when i was doing a photo shoot in beverly hills. he was natural in front of the camera, he was very comfortable. i don't think erik had the physical attributes to be a working model but he was photogenic. i think erik was struggling to find his way and i don't know the insides of what went on in their house because he didn't talk about it. >> describe your relationship with your father. >> brutal. painful. torturous. but yet i admired him because he was so strong and he was -- he

are routinely stalked by paparazzi? would they be facing similar charges if the same thing happened here. >> they would not. france has the toughest privacy laws in europe, at least some of them. the fact that this occurred there makes this even harder. this is why they're suing there and this is why they pushed so hard for the prosecution there which is to send a message. yes, tough new laws in california, for example, about paparazzi, particular about the way they drive and treat children, et cetera, et cetera. you could probably get fined or sued, et cetera, for using a photo lens if you're invading someone's privacy. >> not criminal. >> not criminal. this is a tough case because this was on a public street. you can see the home where they were at from that public street. that would make it another defense, the defense they're trying to use as well. >> a pretty big business right now. will this just be written off if there's a finding as the cost of doing business or a real

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.

now to those concerned about ski lifts after several recent accidents. abc's gio benitez is in new york with more on that. and this is your first time on the slopes there, gio? >> reporter: a far cry from miami, robin, that's right. we're here at a mountain resort they opened up extra early for us. to show you how to do this right. accidents are rare but do happen. take a look at this. it's a heart-stopping video of a young boy dangling from a ski lift. >> hang in there, bud! >> look closely, his backpack is

holding him up. workers at the sundance ski resort near salt lake city immediately stopping the ride to get the boy down. >> we couldn't believe what we saw. we looked at each other and it was an initial shock. >> reporter: within minutes, success. but it might have been deja vu. because just two weeks earlier at the same resort. >> we know your arms are hurting. take some deep breaths. >> i can't. they hurt so bad. >> reporter: another 11-year-old boy, also got stuck the same way, trying to get off the ride at the middle station to ski halfway down. and not the whole mountain. the national ski areas association tell us riding a ski lift is even safer than riding an elevator. but even so just days ago, a texas mom on vacation in colorado with her two daughters, fell 20 feet off a lift and died. the two little girls surviving. the cause of her fall still under investigation. but experts say falls are often from rider or operator mistakes.

>> the typical cause of a far from a chair lift is human error. >> reporter: since 2004 four people have died falling off a ski lift and not related to a mechanical malfunction. but still, experts suggest more changes. >> some of our ski areas are adding prongs or fingers to the restraint bar itself so it better secures people into place on the lift. in part in case someone has a seizure and they would slide out from under the restraint bar. >> reporter: all right, so, the most important tip, make sure that this bar is all the way down. make sure you're seated all the way back. if you have a backpack, keep it on your lap and if it falls, let it go. don't try to grab it. robin, george. >> all right, hang on there. >> let it go. >> yes, indeed. good advice there from gio. kate beckinsale is here live.

>> harsh chemical peels, ones that could require days of down time to allow your skin heal. with the internet they're available to anyone with just a click of the mouse. some people are finding that cutting costs this way with high concentration peels can come at a price. in the quest for perfect skin some are turning to chemical peels. >> plenty of products that you can buy that are safe to use that can get you good results. without you having to go so high. >> reporter: many store products have low concentrations of acids. but this woman found a stronger product online. she said for $26 she bought a peel containing 30% of tca, an aggressive treatment by professional standards. >> all of a sudden, my whole face started to flame up, like it was on fire. my face is ruined. this is what was going through my head.

>> reporter: months later she says she still has discoloration. many documenting their bad at-home experiences online, complaining about burns. when it comes to acids like this, a concentration of 10% or less is safe for home use. but 30% or more should be used by professionals. but still nothing in place to stop consumers from buying products with those higher level of acids. in just minutes we purchased six of them, ranging in price from $15 to $200. do you think these are dangerous? >> absolutely. several products that are dangerous to use on your face without supervision. >> reporter: each arriving with instructions. he says this bottle is just not safe to work with at home.

what do you think of that guy? >> i'm almost afraid to touch it. >> reporter: they penetrate deeper into the skin typically used by professionals. >> these things work in a matter of minutes. you don't have time to go to google and say, is this a problem? >> reporter: one said its product is safe to use at home if the consumer follows the instructions, including a patch test, and has gradually worked their way up to higher levels of glycolic acids. another company said it has a strict policy of selling exclusively to licensed medical prakt ti practitioners. we could not reach the company that sold us the 10% tca. if you're ordering this stuff online you're saving mad amounts of money. >> there's a cost to just rolling the dice. >> reporter: multiple doctors telling us they're seeing more and more people after bad experiences after those at-home peels. but the big thing to remember

is, you only get one face, so think carefully before you do something like that. >> the doctor was afraid of holding the 100% -- >> it doesn't come to the doctor's office that way. joining us now is dr. whitney bowe. you know what, i know that you have seen patients come in with reaction and it can be done correctly. what's the best way to prevent a reaction from happening. >> first of all, avoid waxing before a chemical peel. waxing anywhere on the face whether that's the eyebrows, the upper lip, it basically thins the skin and can result in a chemical burn. >> make sure you're not doing that ahead of time. >> also, how about washing your face and making sure you're not scrubbing too hard. >> you don't want to exfoliate the skin. either with a wash cloth or were a scrub. there are some alternatives that are gentle and can give you sort of a peel-like glow.

>> and these are things that we have at home. >> most ingredients you have in your kitchen. i brought my favorite recipe for a brightening scrub. this is literally three ingredients. all you need is, a cup of raw oats, half a banana and two tablespoons of honey. take that. i'm going to reach across here. you just mix it into a paste. and then you can actually rub this into damp skin. you want to lean over, dampen your face with warm water, rub that and massage it gently using your fingertips in circular motions. rinse off with warm water and pat down. soothing, great ingredients. >> thank you for sharing that. i mean, when you look at these simple, basic ingredients you have like that. other things you have in your home. we're going to bring in our audience members on this. what do you think is best to apply topically? >> on your skin.

>> lemonade, orange juice or champagne, what's best for your skin? >> champagne. >> champagne? champagne. any other people voting in? >> champagne. >> well, let's see. >> we have some very smart audience members. absolutely, the champagne. i know, i know. you guys are very, very bright audience members here. >> we have audience members who enjoy a nice glass of champagne. [ cheers and applause ] >> leftovers after new year's. >> why champagne? >> it contains an ingredient called tartaric acid. that's a natural exfoliate. take the cotton ball, dip it in the glass of champagne and use it as a toner. on the face. >> thank you, thank you, whitney, very much. and hunter hayes has been fascinated watching us over here. hunter hayes is coming up next.
