nuns in court. >> we're talking millions of in fines to order somebody contraceptive drugs against their faith. >> the health care law allows this em to opt out using contraception coverage to the insurance companies. this is something the little sisters say violates their believes. >> who's reledgeous freedom are we talking about? employer's freedom or a woman's own judgment about what she should be able to do herself? >> despite the many stumbles in the affordable roll out, 2014 will be the first chance for millions of americans to use the new health plans. some who enrolled might be surprised by the large copays they have to shell at the doctors's offices.

still between the health care exchanges and law's expansion of medicare, the administration says nearly 6 million people are now covered through the affordable care act. >> of 6 million, 4 million will be covered by medicaid another 1.1 million signed up on federal exchange and about a million in states that have their own exchanges. 400,000 signed up in california alone. anthony and norah. >> thanks chip. u.s. and afghanistan are at odds over an afghan plan to release dozens of prisoners. some are accused of killing americans. the u.s. says they remain a threat. david martin is at the pentagon. good morning. >> good morning anthony. american officials say prisoners are dangerous and should not go free without facing trial. it's one more disagreement with afghan president kazai who u.s. officials say is undermining the

agreement made months ago. >> secretary of state john kerry hailed the deal to turn over control of the prisoners to the afghan government. >> that's an appropriate restatement of america's commitment to the independent sovereignty of afghanistan. the interest of the u.s. with respect to prisoners are fully protected. there's great confidence about that or this would not have occurred. >> u.s. ma commanders say the afghan commission has exceeded the authority by approving the release of 88 prisoner some of whom are accused of deadly attacks on american nato and afghan troops. the top commander in afghanistan warns the commission is about to release a number of dangerous individual who is are legitimate threat and for whom there is strong evidence supporting prosecution. >> we can make a case why these people should not be let out and allowed to return to the

battlefield. if afghans don't want to listen this the end, it's their down trip. we no longer have privileges. >> president kazai is refusing to sign the agreement to allow forces to remain in afghanistan after 2014. jay carney says without that agreement, the u.s. will have no choice but to pull out a all troops. >> we need it promptly. there's not time here. we cannot as suggested wait for further developments in afghanistan. >> the u.s. had want had the agreement signed by january 1st. this latest dispute over prisoners is likely to mean further delay in deciding the future of u.s. troops in afghanistan. >> troubling story. david, thank you. at least three people are still missing this morning in minneapolis after a massive apartment fire. crews battled freezing conditions on wednesday. more than a dozen victims are

crime. sales like these are illegal under federal law. not everyone inside colorado supports the new industry. the governor opposes the law and 70 municipalityies have banned sales. many believe this will lead to high rates of abuse. >> there's a profit motive to get users to turn to profits eventually. >> marijuana sales could be more than $600 million in 2014 for colorado. for the first time north korean dictator is talking about the the execution of his uncle that used to be his mentor. kim jong-un advocated for closer ties with south korea. time to show you headlines

♪ good morning to you, it's 8:00 in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." if you're heading east get ready for the new year's first big winter storm bringing bone-chilling cold icy winds and several inches of snow are on the way. can't wait. only on "cbs this morning," the new smart phones with dual screens. dan ackerman is in the toyota green room about. why two may be better than one. a blogger with a camera focuses on ordinary new yorkers. but first here's a look at today's eye opener@8:00. chicago and other parts of the midwest are dealing with a second wave of snowy weather

now. >> the storm system will leave in its wake more than 12 inches of snow around boston parts of connecticut. >> they are all off the russian research vessel now and on the first leg of their journey home. with quite a story to tell. >> the affordable care act suffered yet another in a series of setbacks. this one just before it left the starting gate. >> the marijuana business is booming this morning in colorado. thousands waited in long lines for pot wednesday when sales became legal. >> i couldn't be happier. a huge stepping stone. >> the georgia banker staged his own suicide but the accused con man was arrested after a routine traffic stop. >> i cannot believe he had the nerve to hide out so close to home. >> a wild turkey possibly upset with holiday delivery delays took his frustration out on a u.p.s. driver in minnesota. >> i wonder what that driver had for dinner.

i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king and anthony mason. charlie rose is off. happy new year. snow is falling causing travel hang-ups across the city. >> the airlines have already canceled more than a thousand u.s. flight. this storm is likely to cause blizzard conditions tonight in parts of the northeast. meteorologist megan glaros of pwbbm is tracking the bad weather. how does it look? >> good morning. much more to come gayle, norah, anthony, we're talking about a major storm system. we've been tracking the probability of these lows coming together tapping into the atlantic moisture and then bringing a major snowstorm to the northeast. it does look like here we go. blizzard conditions as you mentioned, could occur anywhere along the coastline from long island all the way up to maine. add to that blowing and drifting snow for a good part of the

northeast. and we'll have a headache for the evening commute tonight from washington to new york and boston and then tomorrow morning for boston as well. now, i think the system kicks out to the east pretty quickly by friday but dropping more than a foot of snow across parts of massachusetts, connecticut and then talking about probably as much as 6 to 12 inches in new york city. brutally cold air comes in after the snow leaves. we're talking about some of the coldest air in five years. gayle, norah, anthony? >> megan glaros thanks. success for a dangerous rescue mission. dozens are free after being stuck in the ice off antarctica for ten days. the passengers aboard a russian research trip got out by helicopter. elizabeth palmer is in london. >> the 74 people aboard have been trapped in the ice since christmas eve. this morning the weather cleared

enough for a chinese chopper to land on a home-made helipad that the passengers and crew had stamped out in the snow on the ship. they have air lifted a dozen at a time to a nearby australian icebreaker. with plenty of food and water nobody aboard was in any real danger, but the passengers will surely be glad to be on the way home this morning leaving 22 russian sailors and crew on board the vessel waiting for the winds and the currents to shift the ice enough so they can sail free. anthony, gayle norah? >>s will l thank you. the new mayor of the nation's largest city new york city, is promising a new era of hope this morning. bill de blasio was sworn in yesterday by former president bill clinton. he's new york city's 109th mayor. he vows to end socioeconomic inequalities that he says led to a tale of two cities. >> the world will watch us as we

succeed. we will remember what makes new york new york. a city that fights injustice and inequality, not just because it honors our values but because it strengthens our people a city of five boroughs all created equal. > president clinton says de blasio and his family represent the future of new york. he also spoke about the growing wealth gap calling it a moral outrage. >> 2013 was the least productive year on record but state legislatures passed an estimate ed 240,000 new laws many take effects today. in delaware in case you're interested, it is now illegal to sell shark fins. >> stop that now. >> meanwhile, in texas, if you

buy a mixed drink, you'll have to pay the state's 8.25% sales tax, but as mark strassmann reports other new loss are sure to have a more profound impact. >> many gun control advocates expected the newtown school massacre would push congress to adopt tougher gun control laws but not a single new federal gun law passed in 2013. >> we have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. >> however look to the home state of the tragedy, connecticut and its neighbor new york. each passed assault weapons bills in 2013. requiring the registration of assault weapons and imposing limits on large capacity magazines. back in june the u.s. supreme court ruled that states should decide whether to legalize same-sex marriage. that decision opened the door for four more states to legalize gay marriage. 18 states now have it. an increasing number of states are also loosening century-old

drug loss. colorado was the first to legalize recreational marijuana and washington state will follow later this year. illinois is the 20th state to legalize the drug for medical use. illinois state senate president john cullerton has served in the state legislature for three decades. he thinks the public is ahead of politicians on this issue. >> we have examples of laws that might at first be controversial like medical marijuana, even going back to the early '80s, passing the seat belt law. once we get it on the books we start to expand it as the public starts to accept it. a variety of new laws are curtailing freedoms and in oregon smoking is now banned in cars when a child is present. in illinois it will be illegal for anyone under 18 to visit a tanning salon. even with a parent's permission. illinois state senator cullerton calls the new laws commonsense

legislation. >> when folks think about health general health i think they realize that the government should have a role. >> and for every new law, there will be a new debate in 2014. is it working? for "cbs this morning" mark strassmann, atlanta. >> and of course health care one of the biggest laws. a new experiment in the new york city area may have kept people safer. some revelers avoided drinking and driving by using a service that's changing the rules. both the passenger and their car get a lift home. elaine quijano is here to explain. >> there are only a handful of programs like this in the country. here in new york the initiative was launched shortly before christmas. more than 1800 people have taken advantage of it 500 on new year's eve alone. this manhattan car service received so many calls on no year's eve the dispatcher had

trouble keeping up. >> i'm sorry, i don't have anybody at the moment no cars available. >> some needed two driver one to take them home and another to drive their car because they were too drunk to do it themselves. fortunately for them there's operation red nose. >> see what the gps looks like. >> the brain child of fernando mateo of the new york federation of taxi drivers. >> the biggest fear that people have -- and this is quote from them -- is leaving their car behind because they don't know if they're going to find it the next day. that is why they get into that car and drive away. >> last year there were 8,633 alcohol-related crashes in new york state resulting in 358 deaths and over 6,000 injuries. >> we have no doubt in our minds that lives have been saved this christmas week, this christmas season because of operation red nose. >> this man and his squleep needed to get back to yonkers,

new york. >> i'll take you home and he'll take your car. >> half an hour later he was home and his car was parked in the driveway. the 17-mile ride cost $150. double the normal rate because two drivers were involved. >> all right. thank you. thank you, thank you. >> mateo says the service typically costs about $50, a small price to pay for safety and peace of mind. >> it's very cheap. it's very inexpensive. when you consider all of the money that you can save and the aggravation if you get stopped and you go to jail. >> now that the pilot program is over mateo says it is something that can be offered throughout the year and be expanded to other major cities across the country. >> i think mr. mateo's on to something. one guy that gets out of the car, thank you so much. >> i'm not sure he wanted the
