good morning. it is tuesday, january 2nd, 2018. happy new year and welcome back to cbs this morning. ahead, the biggest threats facing president trump in the new year. cbs news contributor is in studio 57 with why we could be surprised. plus, hollywood's female leaders start a new campaign against sexual harassment. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> millions of americans are waking up in a deep freeze. windchills in most of the country are plunging far below normal. >> it is absolutely beautiful out here, but make no mistarke, it is extremely dangerous. >> the cold is not confined to the northern tiers. highs in the 20s in dallas.
8:01 am
>> trump returned here facing more hot rhetoric from north korea and the burst of anti government demonstrations in iraq. >> such is the pent up frustration in iran, but theymorphed until they've affected more than 50 cities. >> people are traveling to costa rica to help with the investigation. they're focused on mechanical problems and weather. >> now that the doors are open here in california, more than one in five americans live in states where recreational marijuana can legally be purchased. >> very courageous father was willing to put up humiliation. >> and the girls begged dad to join in. >> let's just say steve commits. >> that's a funny video to
8:02 am
watch. >> that is a courageous father. >> the things a dad will do. >> he knew the dance. he's with it. >> would i dance to that? >> you do not want to see me dance. certainly not wearing that. welcome back, everyone. i'm jeff glor, norah and gayle are off this morning and millions of americans start the first work day of the new year in record breaking cold. nearly 90% of the country has below freezing temperatures this morning. in the midwest and northeast, many low temperatures are below zero. there are single digit lows in parts of the south and in texas. >> the national weather service says the lowest temperature in the continental u.s. yesterday was 45 below and in north dakota. it's blamed for at least five deaths, three in chicago and two in milwaukee. we're in niagra falls where the famous landmark is starting to freeze. as long as you're not starting
8:03 am
to freeze. that's our biggest concern. good morning. >> reporter: i think i'm starting to join the niagra falls when it comes to freezing but it is cold. i told you earlier that it is absolutely beautiful out here. you can now see it because the sun has come out, but take a look behind me. it looks beautiful but it is dangerously cold out here and even the locals here are predicting that by the end of the month the place will be completely frozen over. so that's not good news. >> we will be back to demarco with more as he warms up. president trump is back in washington facing international turmoil. the president tweeted again this morning about ongoing protests in iran, quote the people are acting against the brutal and rupt regime. the people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. the u.s. is watching.
8:04 am
iranian state tv says overnight clashes between security forces and anti government demonstrators killed nine people. that brings the death toll to at least 21 in five days of protests. the largest since 2009. north korea's nuclear threat is another imminent issue. south korea is offering high level talks with north korea next week. they will discuss cooperation during the upcoming olympics and improving ties. kim jong-un said yesterday he is willing to send a delegation to the olympics. his new year's speech also featured nuclear threats against the u.s. national security advisor h.r. mcmaster told us last month that the president supports talks only if north korea takes steps to lower its nuclear threat. the group has a report out this morning of the top geo political risks we face in the new year. the president is also a cbs news
8:05 am
contributor. good to see you. >> happy new year. >> china is on top of the list. why? >> well, it's bigger. they have the strongest leader they've had at least since mal and because the united states is mechanic first. it's transactional. it's undermining a lot of alliances. you put those things together and suddenly you actually have a china that is willing to engage in what is increasingly a geo political vacuum. this is the first time we've ever seen as u.s. leadership erode, now the leadership of china is saying we're prepared to stand up whether it's on climate or the global economy, you know, regional security, you name it, that's a big change for the world. t. >> regional partners are also looking to china if they want american leadership in the world. >> they are. the chinese are the ones that are saying we'll stand up. we'll do something about paris. we'll build a one belt one road. you saw the president saying
8:06 am
pakistan, we're not going to do anything on terrorism. trump has a point. the chinese are already by far the most important economic contributor to pakistan. they didn't have those sorts of opgs five, ten years ago. this is a different environment and we're not used to having someone else out there that says oh, the americans aren't the only game in town anymore. >> you go on to say that if you had to pick one year to have an unexpected geo political crisis it is this year. what's the number one hot spot for you? >> it could be north korea, could be iiran. the point is there are a lot of pieces moving around and when you have an economic recession everyone wants to put money into it. when you have a gee joe political session, the americans are abdicating, that's not a sustainable environment. that's when things are more likely to go wrong. we just got through a year of the trump administration and thankfully no geo political
8:07 am
crisis. 2018 feels worse from that perspective. >> what do you make of what's transpiring in iran just over the weekend? >> well, in 2009 there were millions of people demonstrating. in 2018 we're still talking about thousands. lots of different cities that don't have a particular leadership and they're not responding to any one issue. it's a bunch of grievances. most important the state of their economy. the bigger danger for iran right now is this is happening where the saudis have very strong u.s. support and where the americans aren't trying to do a nuclear deal. we're threatening to rip one up. the hard liners will feel like they need to take more control, crack more heads, even though this isn't nearly as much of a threat domestically. i think it's more of a geo political challenge than it is that the iranian regime is about to crumble. >> a global tech cold war is number three on your list.
8:08 am
are we there. >> reporter: -- already? >> they're anything involving ai and big technology. we have some of the biggest tech companies many the world. they have the others. we've got some of the best super computers, they have the others. the different thing is in the united states it's not washington. our government isn't investing in ai. our companies are. in china, it's the chinese and increasingly with a trade conflict between the united states and china that's looming, that tech play is going to be a fragmentation and other countries around the world, other companies are going to be looking and saying, who do we need to play with? that is going to play out this year. >> amazing you come back to china on almost every question. >> also trade. mexico is also on this list. i think surprises a lot of people. >> mexico, this is a year where they have a presidential election coming up and anti-americanism unfortunately
8:09 am
is going to suddenly be a really big topic. no, they're not going to pay for the wall but they're worried about nafta. we're saying we want to renegotiate and it's going to get split sizpoliticized. you can make a lot of big promises that can go badly. mexico looks to come out of this year in a much more dangerous position than the entry. >> interesting who's not on this list and that's vladimir putin and russia. we talk about russia on a daily basis. why aren't they on the list for you. >> for the same reason that trump's tweets aren't on the list. the actual impact on the global economy and the global environment is less than you think. putin -- the russian economy is smaller than canada's. and you know, ukraine, he took ukraine? no. most of ukraine he lost. it's oriented toward the west. he's largely out of sire where. putin is goi

8:18 am
shared these deep personal stories some of which have not been told publicly and they found so many common strands and they decided that together they wanted to use this window to actually change the business. they feel in many ways it's kind of betrayed them. >> and this group doesn't just impact and focus on hollywood as we mentioned. these are women and men in various fields and various different ethnicities and sayre y -- various income bracts. >> they're trying to reach across the economic divide and say we're going to devote some of our resources and our privilege to el h pielping you well. >> talking about the economic climate and you mentioned the legal defense fund as well. that's part of this. it's helping folks who wouldn't ordinarily be able to protect themselves. >> part of the goal of these wealthy women in hollywood is to provide funds for lower paid
8:19 am
women to protect themselves from harassment by using these legal resources that can be really expensive. it can be expensive to come forward and they're hoping to provide some sort of security and resources for doing that. >> they want to change the landscape broadly. one piece of that that's pretty ambitious is changing the board rooms, leadership. do you think that this initiative can push more women into leadership roles, reconfigure that power balance. >> the role of agencies in hollywood has problematic because as we reported agencies often knew about harvey weinstein and would send the women into the hotel rooms anyway and these were their clients they're supposed to be protecting. so agencies are on the defensive right now and one thing this group is asking for is much more priority in all leadersh
8:20 am
structures and part of the question is is the leadership of hollywood going to look different? >> there's talk about a lot of women in solidarity wearing black, but there is some controversy about it as well. >> i think this is going to be a fascinating award show to watch with a very different dynamic than in past years because this is the first time that hollywood has really convened publicly since the wine steveinstein and revelations. you've got the red carpet which is retro, women are paraded down the red carpet, usually to smile and not say much. so what eva longoria said, we're not willing to just be ornaments this year. we're t no willing to go out and sell this award show without asking any of the big questions about power in hollywood and then you've got the question of
8:21 am
what people will actually say when they're asked about these issues. >> it will be fascinating to watch. >> there is going to be a lot of black on that red carpet is what i would imagine. >> thank you very much. the coast guard is busy houssay lors were in the right place at the right time to rescue a florida driver. you're. whatting c -- you're watching cbs this morning.

8:34 am
keep the penguins inside. temperatures have averaged minus 28 celsius in recent days. a new report highlights the intense pressure on young women to share nude photos of themselves. researchers at north western university analyzed nearly 500 stories on an anti cyber bullying and sexting campaign's website. more than two thirds of girls age 12 through 18 said they had been asked for explicit images. researchers say the girls faced persistent requests from boys to send those pictures. psychologist and news contributor writes about the study in a an article called teenagers, stop asking for nude photos. she says it's time to quote, recalibrate some of the toxic norms that have taken hold among teenagers. good morning. >> good morning. >> so what do teen women face when they decline to send nude photos of themselves? >> well, so what this research
8:35 am
article documented is that when girls say no, they are often then pressured, they're asked repeatedly. they sometimes face harassment and threats, they're sometimes cut off from relationships that this has been going on among teenagers for a while. i really respect these researchers for bringing it to light. it's something they've dealt with alone. >> this is defined as a new relational norm though which i think is shocking to a lot of people who were not aware it was going on, but how does that end? >> well, there's lots of ways it ends. one is bringing it to light. we've made a practice of saying don't send nude photos. we have not made a practice of saying don't ask for nude photos. and so one of the important things we need to do at this point is we need to recalibrate that norm and set rules around this. >> and the research also shows that a lot of girls feel pressured to send these photos. what are some of the conversations that parents and
8:36 am
teachers can be having with their children? >> i think what we need to say to our kids whether we're in the role of schools or parents is we need to say look, don't send nude photos. it puts you in an awkward position, personally, socially and also legally. then we need to say don't ask for nude photos. it puts someone in a terrible position to do so. >> you know, it's interesting, i've been a practicing psychologist for a long time and when i italked with teenagers and when a lot of us talk with teenagers usually the subtext is all right, ladies we're going to ask you to regulate adolescent sexuality because we're not going to ask the boys. i think it's something we need to change is that we're going to ask them to be fair and equitable, both boys and girls in terms of how they handle themselves in relationships.
8:37 am
>> how old should children be when the conversations started. >> these were starting with 12-year-olds, so i think you probably want to get out ahead of it and you may the second you hand over a phone to a teenager, i think a great rule is don't do anything with this phone you wouldn't want your grandmother to see. but then i think it's time to start moving that conversation up. 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th grade. >> when you hear about people sexting in the digital age and their response to you is this is just the new norm, your answer is what? >> i think what we need to say is sure, adults do it and that's a completely different ball game because you're above the age of 18. i think what we need to appreciate is that norms are created in parts by rules. so if we have no rules saying don't ask for pictures, we're not creating the norms we want to create. so i think we need to actually take that extra step and make a
8:38 am
rule for all teenagers, girls and boys. don't ask for these pictures. >> it's an uncomfortable pub jacket matter f-- subject matte to talk about. >> we owe them support for how they're going to conduct their relationships now because that lays the ground work for how they're going to conduct relationships as adults. >> thanks so much. thanks for having me. lesley visser is the only woman in the pro football hall of fame. ahead, how her mom of all people encouraged her to pursue a career

8:44 am
worked with cbs for so many years and you know, john said it's a strange thing, now you guys live this world too. congratulations to both of you, but you guys live this. he says it's a strange thing when you go from being the observer to the observed and so that's what i'm much more at home asking you guys about your background. i love to show that. >> but you knew you wanted to do this at 11 years old. >> my mother, we lived in cincinnati at the time and moved a lot as a kid which was great for sports and i said to my mother, i was like ten maybe or 11. i said, you know what i want to be a sports writer and my mother instead of at that time women were only three things, you know, nurses, teachers or homemakers and my mother instead of saying what, are you crazy? she said to me, grade, sometimes you have to cross when it says don't walk. >> but it was not an easy journey to get from that 11-year-old to where you are
8:45 am
now. talk about the doubt. i mean, your mother was obviously an empowerer, she empowered you in a lot of ways but how much skepticism did you meet along the way when you said this is what i want to do. >> plenty. i was sharing with someone that when i started there were no ladies rooms because there were no other women and what's the great movie, hidden figures and that was my life. i used to sit in the patriots press box, and i would say do i have time to go down the elevator across to the only public rest room and get back before the patriots puntded? so yes, i used humor was my default. i don't know what you guys use, but humor was mine and -- >> that's how you got through it. >> that's how i got through it. other people use other mechanisms but for me humor worked. >> when you talk to kids who want to go into this business
8:46 am
