punishment law. congressional democrats have released a plan to end the partial government shutdown. it does not include funding for a border wall. democrats will vote on the plan thursday after they take control of the house. it would fund most agencies through the end of september. a separate bill provides homeland security funding until february 8th while border security talks continue. president trump insists he will not end the 11-day shutdown without money for a wall. he told fox news late last night he's ready, willing and able to negotiate. north korea leader kim jong-un had a stern warning for the president in his new annual new year's address this morning. kim said he's ready to meet mr. trump any time to continue nuclear talks but he said north korea may have to take another approach if u.s. economic sanctions continue. and 2018 was wall street's worst year in a decade after stocks plunged in the final

three months. the dow jones industrial average finished the year with a 5.6% loss. the s&p 500 fell 6.2% in 2018. the nasdaq ended down 3.9%. investors blamed the declines on fears of a trade war with china and a federal reserve's move to gradually raise interest rates. major markets were

many americans are hoping to meet goals for self-improvement and happiness this year. yale professor laurie santos started teaching the class psychology and the good life last january. it became the university's most popular course, no surprise, in person and online. 78,000 people from more than 168 countries have enrolled. she will teach a new session of her free online course called the science of well being. laurie santos is joining us now. welcome. happy new year. >> this sounds like a fascinating class. a lot of it is based around gratitude. it's something we stress during the holidays. what can we do to express gratitude and take that throughout the year? >> part of it is realizing gratitude is important. we have these gratitude journals and hear buzzwords like gratitude but we forget how powerful it can be just to thank the people we care about in our life. one of the interventions we

could in life is called the gratitude letter. where you really just write down what you're thankful for to a person you haven't told. research suggests just the act of doing that takes 10, 15 minutes can boost your positive mood for over a month. these are like really powerful effects. they get a lot of air time but we forget how powerful they can be. >> we focus on what we don't have in life. and it really in life it's the little things that really add up and make something very significant. but i've heard in your class that you say time, affluence plus gratitude, plus social connections equals happiness. >> these are the three things that -- time, affluence is a really foreign concept. it's just the act of having some free time. it's looking at that calendar and seeing big white blocks. most of us don't have that naturally. the new year's an awesome time when you can build it in. go to your calendar and scribble in these three hours, they're just mine. not putting anything in there.

it can just be a powerful technique when you roll up on that wednesday, you're like, this is a me thing, i have three hours. >> and then send a memo to your boss and saying i've got three hours free. >> i've been planning it. >> but we forget what productivity actually relies on it. even bosses should want their employees to have a few open hours because those can mean the difference between burning out hours later and feeling like you're fresh. >> once a day, once a month? >> just more than you have now. for some of us, we can get a lot of white time in there. but, you know, even an hour can make a huge difference. one thing we did in the class, i gifted students some time they didn't expect so they came to class one day just one random tuesday and i said hey, today, there's no class, you have an hour and a half free. what's amazing is even these yale students, some were so affected by this, one of the students burst into tears and she said this is the first free

hour she's had all smecemester. >> we love you, professor. >> we call them snow days, the arrival of free time. one other thing about gratitude, focus on the things you have, but the letter creates a social connection. it keeps you connected on right level with people who are close around you and in your life. >> this is something we again forget. one of the main things that distinguishes happy people from not so happy people is happy people take time for social connection. they're just physically with other people. they try to make connections with the people on the street. they take time for the people they care about. often we're trying to prioritize all this stuff we want to do in the new year, we overschedule, but we don't include the people we care most about. they come last. to mimic happy people, just make time for the people you care about. >> what role is social media playing in our happiness or lack of happiness? >> i think it relates to this e one of social connections. the things we think is giving us social connection -- i'm scrolling my feed and seeing

what folks wore last night. it families like i'm connecting. but it's an minute camrys sort of connection -- an empty calories sort of connections. that's why young people feel lonely. over 50% of college students report feeling lonely most of the time. that's in part because they're getting their social connection through their phones, not physically in presence with other people. >> quick tips for happiness in 2019, in the new year. >> i think take gratitude seriously. you know, take time once a month to scribble down that you're thankful for someone you care about. take your little white blocks in your calendar, do it now for february and march. you'll be happy when those things come up. talk to a stranger on the bus. it will boost your morale. >> without them saying what's wrong with you? reach out -- before you start teaching -- before you started teaching this class, were you a happy person? >> i'm not genetically predisposed to be happy. now i practice what i preach. my students, who did you write to. as a research, when you do the techniques, you boost your mood. >> good advice.

>> thank you, professor. good to see you. >> thank you. former first lady michelle obama, she's very happy, have you seen her book sales? her memoir tells what it was like for her family to leave the white house. "becoming" hit book stores in november and shot to the top of the bestseller list quickly. she details her unlikely journey from growing up in a small apartment in chicago's south side to living at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, also known as the white house. in the fall we spoke to her about life before, during, and after her husband's presidency. >> our motto is when they go low, we go high. [ cheers ] >> do you still believe when they go low we go high? after all that has happened? >> absolutely. absolutely. you know, what's the alternative? because going low means you're operating from your place of emotion. you know it doesn't necessarily mean you're operating from a place of results. more often than not, you don't get results when you go low. you just get your attitude out.

when you're in the white house and you have that platform and that responsibility where every word matters, you're often thinking -- at least barak and i often thought is are what we're about to say going to help, move the move the nice forward. or is it vindication in the moment? you learn that vindication in the moment is short term. going high doesn't mean you don't have feelings and that you don't express feelings, that you don't acknowledge hurt or pain or anger. that's not what going high is. going high means now you have the feeling, how do you express that feeling in the world, and how do you do that responsibly. >> you end with let's let kindness in. you still feel optimistic about our country and we as a people, we as a nation? >> yeah, because i lived in the country, you know. i traveled the country. forget race or party or ethinicety or jend -- ethnicity

or gender, people have issues, but everybody's working for the same thing, the same goal. i got to see that part of america. >> throughout the book, there's a lot of "am i good enough." you're told by a school cowensilar you're not princeton material. why did that not destroy you? >> fortunately it was the direct opposite of everything i'd ever been told about myself. i had grown up with love and support and encouragement and high expectations. here i walked into this room with a woman who didn't know me because it was a big high school, and she had to make a quick assessment. and her assessment could have been -- and i don't know -- was grade point average, yeah, you're a good student, you know, your scores are good. you're black. you're here in this public school. maybe you're stretching. she just decided that the dream i presented was wrong. let me tell you, we could probably go into any room of black women or people of color

or people who grew up in poor communities or rural communities, and you'd ask has anybody ever told you you couldn't, and they'd raise their hands. >> do you miss the white house? >> no. eight years is enough. what i realized over the years is that home is where we are. >> the whole eight years you were in the white house, i think i could count how many times i saw you on tv. i got to one and had to stop. why is it that you didn't want to do interviews, mrs. robinson? >> i didn't the to say anything that would -- you know how you accidentally say things? >> yeah. >> i figured if i didn't say anything, then i wouldn't say the wrong thing. >> we don't have to worry about that. when your daughter is first lady of the united states and your son-in-law is president, how do you wrap your brain around that? what are you thinking? >> it's pretty difficult, face it. >> why?

>> because i felt like this was going to be a very hard life for both of them. >> yeah. >> and i was worried about their safety. and i was worried about my grandkids. i mean, that's what got me to move to d.c. >> what's the best thing about michelle obama that makes you proudest? >> well, now i -- my saying is when i grow up, i would like to be like michelle obama. >> aw. >> wow. >> says her mother. that still gives me goosebumps. i can't think of a better tribute really. between mother and daughter, to have the mom say when i grow up, i want to be like you. the connection between the two is very, very, very strong. and they're -- everybody in the obama family is extremely happy with their new lives and their new chapters. they're doing really just fine. >> and what she did for those girls -- >> yes. >> as a grandmother there, to give them stability in the white house and have grandma there. >> i mean, michelle will be the

first to tell you that it probably wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her mother. and you know, the president is also very close to mrs. robinson. she took them to school every single day. they had to ride in a motorcade, and so mrs. robinson was with them in the michael jordancatot. she would get another car to come home. the motorcade is there, and you can only use the motorcade when the girls are in it. can you imagine, she goes to the school -- >> uber after? >> pretty much. pretty much. then she has to get home another way. >> wow. >> the presidency is a crazy job. they should install mrs. robinson in every presidency. remind us what reality is like. strong family. >> strong character, strong family bond. >> integrity and character always wins. country music star reba mcentire is part of the prestigious group known for their contributions to american culture.

the new year started in the rain for millions of americans. in boston it did not dampen the spirits of thousands who gathered to watch the fireworks. another giant fireworks show lit up the sky over the las vegas strip. in new york city, our very own vladimir duthiers of cbs news helped ring in the new year in times square. he and other journalists were part of a special event to commemorate freedom of the press. and the celebration in australia's biggest city was one year behind. a lighting projection on the sydney harbor bridge accidentally read "happy new year 2018." bummer. senator elizabeth warren's move toward a presidential run brought a sharp response from president trump. the massachusetts democrat formed an exploratory committee for a 2020 campaign. the president was asked about it on fox news. >> she says she's in the fight all the way, mr. president. do you really think she believes she can win?

>> well, that i don't know. you'd have to ask her psychiatrist. >> mr. trump also said warren did very badly releasing a dna analysis of her native american heritage. a turkish tv station claims to have video of people carrying the remains of murdered "washington post" contributor jamal khashoggi. security footage shows three men carrying bags and suitcases into the residence of saudi arabia's consul general in istanbul. it's close to the saudi consulate where khashoggi was killed back in october. a colorado man accused of killing the mother of his 1-year-old daughter has appeared in court. patrick frazee was formally charged with first-degree murder and solicitation to commit murder. he did not enter a plea yesterday. prosecutors allege frazee tried to find someone to kill his missing fiancee, kelsey berreth, three times between september and november. the new year could bring us

a new instant multimillionaire. tonight's mega millions drawing is worth $425 million. the cash option is more than $254 million. it is the eighth largest jackpot in the game's history. it is now 8:04.

the new year inspires many americans to reflect on their health. we saw last year a polio-like illness in children around the country. and the work of a chinese scientist led to ethical

questions about gene editing. 3d body part printing showed the increasing power of technology in our health care. dr. tara narula looks at the medical stories that could affect us in 2019. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you. >> let's start with afm, which stands for acute flaccid myelitis. how do you say it? >> myelitis. >> what do we know at this point? what's being done to stop it? it was a very scary disease. >> very scary for parents because it mostly affects children. and so what we know is that we see spikes in these cases every two years or so. and it really started around 2014 that we began tracking this. i want to keep it in perspective. it is very rare. we're talking at one or two children out of a million that will be affected per year. since 2014, about 491 cases. we think it may be caused by a virus. we don't know which one. and that the virus affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord it may cause an inflammatory reaction. certain kids may be genetically susceptible.

what happens is the child may start with a mild respiratory-like infection. then it progresses to weakness in the arms or legs, trouble with vision, swallowing, or speaking. it can be scary. in certain instances, kids can recover. but other times they have progressive or worsening paralysis that remains for a long time or even respiratory failure. the cdc assembled a task force in november and really are working very hard to kind of get a handle on this. >> and we know that technology continues to play a vital role in health care. and the idea of 3d printing body organs is something we're going to hear more about. tell us about it. >> it's fascinating. you think you can 3d print a toy or replacement part, why not an organ? so, for example, we would take an mri of your heart, create a scaffold structure of exactly what your heart looks like. and then the ink would be a mixture of cells and biodegradable material. so essentially printed with that scaffolding. that scaffolding then degrades over time, and you're left with a 3d heart.

so the idea is that this is perfectly suited for your body because it came from imaging of you, and it will prevent rejection because it's made from your own cells, the ink is. we think we're about five to ten years away from having this implanted in people, and we think a bladder may be the first organ that we're able to do. but we already are implanting things that are artificial hips and replacement parts, artificial stents for the airways. we're getting closer. a lot more work, though, needs to be done. >> what does this mean for longevity? i'm thinking replacement parts all the way -- >> it's to help with organs, the organ donor issue. we know that 100,000 people are waiting for organs every year, and there's only 16,000 donors. the idea is that this can really be a wonderful thing for that. >> for several years, scientists have been talking about the technology known as crisper, gene editing, and at the end of 2018 a chinese doctor claimed to have used it successfully. this is the future of medicine being able to edit our bad genes out? does it work? >> he got hammered. you were one of the people --

you were very upset about that. >> a lot of people in the scientific community were outraged. crisper is a fascinating technology. like a scissor that can go in and edit your dna. it has a lot of potential. we're using it mostly in cells and animal models to explore treating diseases that can be devastating, things like cystic fibrosis, huntington's, sickle cell. it has a lot of promise in the future for things like heart disease, mental health, and cancer even. the problem with what happened this last month is that it was used to alter embryos. and when you're doing that, and the technology is still premature, you're risking creating other mutations in those embryos, those children can go on to have susceptibilities to other problems. and you're altering the genetic code for every child that that child has. it needs to be done when the technology is ready. right now the scientific community is saying we're not there yet. i think what the controversy has done is really raised a lot of red flags, and a lot of people will be on guard and watching to put up better guidelines about

how we use it going forward. >> we haven't heard from the doctor as of late either. thank you. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> we look forward to getting a lot more stories from you this year. thank you. ahead, a lullaby played in a hospital inspires a chain of events that bonds two families forever. you're watching "cbs this morning." aby binds two families forever. our dad was in the hospital. because of smoking. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. but then, we were like. what are we doing? the nicodermcq patch helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. nicodermcq. you know why, we know how. with fitness... ...friends and farxiga, the pill that starts with "f." farxiga, along with diet and exercise,

our series, "a more perfect union," aims to show what unites us is greater than what divides us. today we'll look at two families brought together by chance. the story shows how strangers can share a person's memory. david begnaud visited a hospital in louisiana and found a connection between two patients who never had a chance to meet. hi, david. good morning. >> reporter: happy new year. we received a special tip to it led us to lafayette, the heart of cajun country.

there is about the circle of life and how joy and grief can bring us together. almost a year ago, this little baby entered the world in lafayette, louisiana. his parents, connie depsanie and benjamin hall, named his kingston but didn't have a middle name until after he was born. the name they decided on came from a letter they got in the hospital. a surveillance camera at lafayette general medical center had captured a stranger asking for directions so she could deliver the letter. who was she? >> to my dad's angel -- even though i will never know your name, you are the first child born here after my dad's passing. when one life is taken, another is given. please keep my dad in your prayers. >> his name is james. thank you. >> that was the stranger. jamie fontenot. shortly after her father, james lee grimmett, a veteran, died in

the hospital in lafayette, jamie heard sweet music. ♪ it's a lullaby that plays throughout the hospital. families of newborns come here and press that button in the labor and delivery ward playing the lullaby, letting everybody know a newborn just arrived. on january 12th, 2018, kingston hall was born shortly after mr. grimmett died. the timing seemed more than coincidental to jamie. >> somebody said, that's dad's angel. >> reporter: with no escort, you took your letter and -- >> i took my letter and i went to the o.b. unit. i said, my dad passed away about 10:40. so give this to the first baby that was born after that time. >> reporter: on duty that day was dr. jennifer pugliese and cydney begnaud a registered nurse. they received jamie's to letter, and the doctor brought it to connie. >> she started reading it silently and had tears streaming

down her face. and it was really beautiful. i came in, and the dad says, oh, we found our middle name. i'm like, great. what is it? he says, well, it's james, of course. i'm like, oh, of course. >> my nurse followed me to that thought and she was like, well, do you mind if we get your information and give it to miss jamie? >> she didn't mind. she asked who the nurse was. >> i think it was cyndey -- >> cydney? >> yes. >> that's my mom. >> really? what a coincidence! that's awesome. >> reporter: thank you, mom. yes, it was my mom who helped to deliver kingston. and then told me a story of how a stranger wrote a letter to connie who then decided that the best middle name for kingston would be james, in honor of mr. grimmett. >> i'm so happy you came. >> we're happy to meet you. so good to meet you.

>> i didn't think i'd ever see you either. let me see your little angel. >> reporter: the best part for jamie was holding little kingston james. what are we to take from a story like this? >> family is everything. if you don't have faith, you don't have anything. >> you just never know when a blessing is going to come and fall in your lap. >> reporter: you all will stay in touch? >> oh, yes. >> of course. >> of course. >> reporter: we all want to clap, so we're going to clap.

♪ a new year for many of us means it's time to make resolutions. sticking with them can be a challenge. a 2018 study found only 6% of americans fully stuck to their resolutions. "new york times" bestselling author james clear offers a road to lifestyle change in his book "atomic habits: an easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones." he's here to help us make resolutions that will last. james clear, good morning. happy new year to you. >> good morning. >> let me start with the key, what is the key to making a good new year's resolution? >> well, most of the time when

people make a new year's resolution, they're essentially making a goal for themselves. the thought is i want different outcomes this year, i want to lose weight or meditate more, reduce stress. i want to be more productive. but i think actually the typical new year's resolution focuses on the wrong thing. what i mean is we think the outcome is the thing that needs o change. but actually it's the habits of the system, the process behind the outcome. so for example, if you have a messy room, you look around the room and think, this is so cluttered. i need a clean room. if you clean for an hour, you have a clean room for now. if you don't change the sloppy, messy, pack-rat habits that led to the dirty room in the first place, you end up in the same place. similar with new year's resolutions. we think what i need is to feel less stress. what i need is to have a rain book, what a need is to lose weight. actually what we need are the habits and the systems behind those things. >> yes. i won't ask you about to have a written book which is a little bit too personal to me. if it's clean the room, say, or lose weight, how then do i wire

my life with good habits? >> i think the first thing to focus on is not the outcome that you want but the type of person you want to become. if you take losing weight, a lot of people may say, oh, i want to lose 40 pounds or something. the question to ask is who is the type of person that could lose weight. maybe it's the type of person who doesn't miss workouts. your resolution becomes not to lose a certain amount of weight or to achieve a particular goal but to be a certain type of person. this is where i think small habits are so useful. even if doing something like five pushups is not enough to transform your body overnight, it is enough to cast a vote for being that kind of person. for being a fit person. and so in a sense it's like every action you take is a vote for the kind of person you believe that you are. so the first task is to start casting vote for the new identity, then worry about ramping up the intensity later. >> is the key word action? you're giving yourself an action item whereas clean the room or -- or be a clean person or be a thin person, those are

gargantuan big things. take an action -- >> you translate the identity you're looking to build into a small action, a small vote that you can take. things like doing five pushups, writing one sentence, meditating for 60 seconds. you don't sound like ambitious -- they don't sound like ambitious new year's resolutions, but they cast a vote for being a fit person, becoming a writer, being a meditator. ultimately at the end of the year, what you want is not to have a particular result but to look at yourself in a new way. >> all right. we'll vote not just in november. with our actions. james clear, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thanks, john.
