this new data flight mh 370 ended in the southern indian ocean. >> right now, breaking news today in the search for missing malaysia flight 370. the malaysian prime minister announcing today that new evidence removes all hope that the 239 passengers survived. we'll have the latest as the search continues for debris hundreds of miles off the coast of australia. reinforcements as russian forces tighten their grip around crimea today taking over a naval base and fortifying troonz near the border. president obama is in the netherlands trying to fortify the allied response. >> europe and america are united in our support of the ukrainian government and the ukrainian people and united in imposing a

cost on russia for its actions so far. swept away, rescue crews battling mud as treacherous as quick sand trying to find the missing after a mud slide kills eight people and destroys two communities. we'll have the latest on the desperate search. call waiting. my conversation with president jimmy carter on his new book "a call to action" his ral lying cry on violence against women and nsa snooping and why he is not waiting by the phone. >> does the president ask you to advice? do you have that kind of relationship? does he call you? >> unfortunately the answer is no. today the prime minister of

malaysian delivered devastating news to the family of 370. sew fisty indicated technology confirmed the plane was in the middle of the southern indian ocean, far from any possible landing site. let's bring in nbc's tom costello and nbc's kei simmons live in kuala lumpur. what does this information based on this british very sophisticated technology tell the malaysians and teld the world about what happened to flight 370? >> they have now gone back and immarsat that picked up the pings you might call, six pings, one an hour, that gave away the location for this plane. you may recall we talked about the southern arc that came down like this and the pings were along the way and then they decided that last ping was somewhere in there. they have now concluded based on another analysis of this data

that if fact seemed to be good data indeed and it just so happens this is the same general area where they have been picking up or spotting, i should say, spotting debris. we don't know whether that is debris from the plane itself or just some of the trash that floats around the ocean. but they are going in for a closer look now tomorrow with naval ships of both the chinese and australian military. you know, this is the 777 and the black boxes -- excuse me while i manipulate that -- the black boxes for 777 are back here in the tail. this is the so-called black box. of course it's orange not black but it's got that name and the pinger is right here. the hope is they will be able to find one of these black boxes flight data recorder and/or cockpit voice recorder that will be underneath they believe or with the wreckage of flight 370. this cou this could record as many as 1,000 perimeters of data, was the plane on autopilot?

was there a depressurization event in the plane? does people in the plane have oxygen or deprived of oxygen? we will know that for the entire flight from malaysian down into the south indian ocean and what was the trim of the aircraft? what were the flaps like? what was the setting with the wings and tail, all of that information. speed, altitude, everything you can imagine. fuel consumption. will all be inside the flight data recorder. the voice cockpit recorder, it records what happens in the cockpit we expect will be recorded over because it two hour loops and the last conversation in the cockpit we believe that may have mattered was of course the one over the gulf of thailand eight hours before this plane would have gone into the water. so they are really going to be focusing on very much the flight data recorder. before they can find this black box they've got to hear the pinger, pinger going off and hopefully that will be heard by sonar.

the navy is bringing in as you heard this technology that can be dragged by a ship, listening for the pinger. the hope is that they will hear something but that's a very big if because as you know, the conditions in the south indian ocean are very, very daunting. andrea, back to you. >> quick question, first of all, the fact that it is an aluminum plane as compared to the air france airbus, which was microfiber which might have floated, from what you know from talking to all of the aviation experts when that plane ran out of fuel and hit the ocean, would it have broken up into large pieces or small pieces, what would have been the -- either the altitude or i guess the trajectory as it hit the water? >> most experts believe it would have come in to the water at a very high rate of speed, perhaps as much as 300 miles per hour. yes, the airbus has more composite materials than the

777. but even the boeing 777 has gone more to composite questions as well. this a big question, to what extent will we see any wreckage floating if it came in at 300 and hit the water. that's like hitting concrete and everything would have shattered. but you will get floating debris and get the seat cushions and large chunks like the gally that would sink to the bottom along with the engines. you might get a lot of material luggage that would be floating on the ocean surface. thank you so much. this terribly sad news anticipated by many but feared of course by all hitting the families, kuala lumpur in particular, the malaysian relatives and friends. we go to keir simmons. what was the reaction there of the families obviously did he have tas vated by what the prime minister announced? >> reporter: you describe it exactly right. we were here when one small family sat quietly and watched the announcement on the television, the announcement of the prime minister.

they are watching the prime minister make this announcement about a flight on board is their 29-year-old son. the man's father omar, was sitting there quietly stoney faced. his wife, his son's stepmother just gently stroking his arm. andrea, he wasn't able to speak english so towards the end she was in tears. he was just sturdy face. towards the end one relative leaned in and explained what had just been announced and omar got up and walked away quietly. later on when he had chance to collect his thoughts and talk to his family he came back and spoke to us again. he wants to know more detail and why they came to this conclusion, which they say they will announce in the next 24 hours before he wants to say anymore. we asked him by the way about the question of whether or not he had been told by text message or e-mail, there appears to be some relatives who were told this by text message before the

announcement was made. pretty brutal way to find out. i asked his brother, the young man's uncle, did you get a text message? he said no, we didn't even get that. we weren't even told. we had to see it on the television. >> keir, the sadness there mirrored in beijing when eun is. you experienced the devastating outcry of those familiar lip iey learned. >> reporter: it was a devastating outcry and raw emotion that was experienced here. the families have been here in the hotel behind me for the past two weeks since the plane disappeared. it's been an emotional roller coaster ride for them where every bit of information, rumor that has been thrown their way has caused them great distress and today they were told by malaysia airlines to come to the

hotel to a certain room where they are having regular briefings and there -- it's there where they watched state tv and heard from the malaysian prime minister the devastating news that so many of them did not want to hear. what was normally a controlled area actually turned into chaos after that. there's one man who ran out of the room. he stumbled down the escalator and fell on to his back. he had to be dragged out of the room. there was another one who fell on to her knees and was screaming, saying that her children were on board. her grandchildren were on board and that now she is all alone. it was just one story after another just like this. they were also several people becoming angry throwing water bottles and breaking out into fights. emergency medical workers have actually arrived on the scene to try to take care of many of the relatives here. many of them are actually still

in the room because they have fainted, andrea. >> eunice, thank you for sharing all of that. across the world, rising concern about russia's military moves along ukraine's borders. president obama is in the netherlands today trying to stiffen the resolve now of european allies to take on vladimir putin. nbc news chief white house correspondent chuck todd is traveling with the president and joins me from the netherlands. so far how is the president doing with the europeans who are so closely connected economically and their energy supplies coming from russia via ukraine? >> reporter: the big meeting hasn't taken place, the meeting of the old g-7. president obama called for that meeting and that will happen in a couple of hours. that's after a briefing we had with the national security adviser, there seems to be a hint there will be some sort of official announcement that russia is either suspended or

kicked out of the g-8 or no longer welcome until they play by international laws and international rules again. ben was very careful as to hint that he wasn't going to get ahead of whatever gets announced and read out after. g-7 meeting. right now the president is in the midst of the reason and this nuclear security summit which was the brain child of president obama himself? he hosted the first one and the second one was in korea in '12. this one in the netherlands, they've gotten deliverables out of here. the biggest one today is japan. the united states will take the highly enriched uranian that japan stockpiled and take control of that and slowly dispose of that. everything is about -- the question is going to be at the g-7 in particular will merkel be

able to keep the european members together on this. as we discussed a bunch here, the european economy and russian economy are so inter20twines an there's evidence going too harshly too quick with russia. americans concerned about the troop movements on the border. >> i want to ask you facing down russia this way brings us back all way back to 1979 and 1980 when jimmy carter was going against the soviet union marching to afghanistan and had grain embargo and cancelled american participation in the 1980 olympics. i sat down with jimmy carter and when i asked does president obama call you for advice? he said no, the phone doesn't ring. we showed a little bit of that earlier. what is this relationship where this president, other presidents talk to jimmy carter but this president and he do not have a close relationship at all apparently?

>> reporter: well, let's remember president clinton didn't have a close relationship with jimmy carter either. i thought -- what i thought was fascinating is president carter's blunt response to you as to his explanation when he said it was israel and the issue regarding there are a lot of particularly pros -- israel activists in the united states in donor communities of both the republican party and democrat party that have really isolated jimmy carter in many ways criticized him for his statements that he's made on israel. there is this sense of -- that he's become a little bit of a political pariah. that was an interesting response by him. you would never get that out of the white house even in an off the record basis, but it certainly smells like that is -- that is the type of sensitive political situation that this white house and frankly many democrats in the democratic party are thinking about.

>> very interesting, chuck todd. thanks so much. search and rescue efforts continue in washington state after a huge mud slide killed eight people. there are more than 100 reports of people still missing for the latest from the disaster scene in the small town of oso washington, i'm joined by jennifer bokland. this is t rescue crews themself are in danger? >> reporter: they are, we heard earlier on when they were hearing voices in the mud, trying to wade in they found themself in chest deep quick sand. after 12 hours voices from the mud stopped and as you said, we're hearing the most troubling news of all this morning in a press briefing that up to 108 names of people missing or unaccounted for. that doesn't necessarily mean they won't turn up somewhere else or haven't been contacted, but 108 names have been reported

to authorities and this morning the hope is fading that they'll find anyone else alive as the second night very cold overnight has gone by. the aerial search continued. we've been told they'll have technical crews that will probe the mud and there is a window of opportunity here. the threat of more mud slides has lessened because the river found another way around and doesn't threaten to push that debris in the way. but we're expecting more rain this evening. andrea? >> thank you so much. terrible situation in washington state. and coming up, my interview with former president jimmy carter about his new book, a call to action. his take on the crisis in ukraine and certain potential 2016 presidential candidate. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber.

from phillips. so when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis them. was also on display, i'd had it. i finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, he prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b,

are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible. don't worry! the united states postal service will get it there on time with priority mail flat rate shipping. ♪ whoo-hoo! ♪ [ male announcer ] our priority has always been saving the day. because our priority... amazing! [ male announcer ] ...is you! the amazing spider-man 2 delivered by the united states postal service.

with this program's continuing intense focus on violence against women, we bring you a high profile advocate for global change in the treatment of women and girls. former president jimmy carter. his new book a call to action women religion and violence and power examines how women of targeted by men, including leaders of organized religion. i talked to president carter at the carter center in atlanta. >> you've done more than two dozen books, all best sellers. why did you choose this time to focus on women and the way women are victimized around the world? >> the carter center, for the last three years we've been concentrating on the relationship on the one hand and abuse of women and girls on the other. i became increasingly concerned about it because i don't think there's any doubt that the existing abuse of females is a worst and most pervasive and

unaddressed human rights violation on earth. and this has been somewhat of a surprise to me but it's been a and it became 30 years in the most poor and deprived countries and saw the treatment of women and girls was and how vital a role they can play when they are given a chance. it's been the evolution of my experience beginning with the racial segregation when i was a child and which was very bad. but i think the racial discrimination against black people in our country back in those days is limited to a small number of communities. and now the abuse of women and girls is all over the world, in every country on earth. >> some of it is based in uninformed reading of religious texts of the bible and koran.

you and rose lynn carter actually left your own c congregation because of the way your church was treating you. >> i was an active member but the convention decided in its annual meeting to require that women be subservient to her husband and women can no longer serve as pastor or priest or even as a deacon and even ordained and southern baptist sem narlryes that if there was a woman teacher she couldn't have boys in the classroom. those kind of things convinced me i should change. right now i have an active religious life in a church in plains where my wife has been a deacon and women pastors and so forth. >> do you have some hope now that with pope francis, the catholic church may be more embracing of women in lead areship roles? >> the catholic church prevents women from serving as priests

and deacons. i hope they change that. i wrote to pope francis a letter concerning the issues i described in my book. he responded that it was his opinion that the role of women in the catholic church in the future should be greatly enhanced. without going into any detail. so i hope that -- i'll obviously send him a copy of my book as well. i hope the catholic church and all denominations including islamic faith will point out in the koran there is a prescription by allah through mohammed that women and men are equal. most of the verses in the christian -- old testment and new testment -- if you're a male leader in the church and you want to prove you are superior, you can also find verses out of 35,000 or so in the bible that proves your point. >> another institution you're very much part of was the military, the naval academy.

and why do you think it is that the pentagon is so resistant to changing and reforming the way sexual abuse -- sexual assaults are handled in the military? >> exactly the same thing happens in universities in america as happens in the military. because presidents of universities and colleges and commanding officers don't want to admit that under their lead areship sexual abuse is taking place. so rapists prevail because they know they are not going to be reported. a couple of years ago i think in 2012, the last data i have, there were 26,000 cases of sexual abuse. only about 3,000 were ever reported. that's about 1%. whereas in the civilian life about 30% reporting. but there's one case in the naval academy where mid shipmen was raped by three football

players and underwent the most severe punishment in cross-examination because she reported the rape against her. and the fact is that on college campuses, most of the rapes occur from serial rapists who know that they can get away with it because the rape won't be reported. so the same thing prevails in colleges and also in the military. so this is something that needs to be changed. they ought to remove from commanding officers in the military every aspect of restraint on the pursuit of reported cases of sexual abuse. >> there are even cases right now, there's a big political dispute in texas and elsewhere about equal pay. and republicans in this case in texas running for office gubernatorial candidate against signing legislation that would allow people to allow women to go to court if they feel they've been discriminated against on

equal pay. >> the women now make up about 57% of all of the graduates, under graduate and graduates from universities. and still in the united states for the same exact work for full-time employee, women get 23% less pay than men. in the fortune 500, only 21 of those leader among 500 are women, they get 42% less than average men. >> even at that level? >> even at that top level. that is really derived indirectly from the fact that religious leaders say that women are inferior in the eyes of god, which is a false interpretation of the book of scriptures. when they say the pope and this other baptist convention say women can't serve as priests and so forth, i'll treat my wife the way i want to because she's inferior to me. i don't any real moral compulsion against paying my

employees less. so women are abused but men don't want to rock the boat because we men benefit from the superiority that we enjoy just like white people did in the days when we benefited from racial deprivation -- >> how important is it that have women leaders. we've seen many examples around the world. is america ready for a woman president? >> well, i don't want to get in politics directly but america is near the bottom. we are at the bottom in developing developed countries, rich countries in the percentage of women who occupy a political office. the world averages about 23%. and in america it's about 18%. and we rank 78th as a matter of fact among countries in the percentage of our public offices that are held by women. that's local state and national levels.

so it's a matter of acceptance of the inability of women to govern or to lead a corporation adequately and of course when they do reach that point, we know they perform superbly. the slave trade now greatly exceeds anything that happened in 19th and 18th centuries. the total amount of income mostly goes into the wealthier countries from slave trade now human trafficking is about $32 billion. and it's estimated by national labor organization about 29 million people living now in bondage and u.s. state department says 60,000 of those people are in america. and of the slaves sold about 80% of them are women, young girls sold into sexual slavery.

atlanta is the worst city where we are right now of all of the major cities in america with about 200 young girls sold into slavery here every month. >> it's astonishing. >> this is one of the issues though that hillary clinton whom you know so well did make a prominent part of her legacy at the state department knowing her so well, what do you think of her as a presidential candidate if she were to choose? >> i think that i'm a democrat and hope that a democratic candidate will prevail in the next election. and if she's the nominee, i'll be eager to give her support. >> coming up, jimmy carter talks about his distant relationship with the current resident at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. at least 3200 peop3 people were when a commuter train derailed. none of believed to be life threatening. that's all it is. eye on the ball.

malaysian prime minister giving the news everybody was dreading. international teams are continuing the search for any potential debris by air and sea. naval vessels throughout this week will continue to bring you updates throughout the program. jimmy carter had to deal with a soviet invasion of afghanistan when he was president. how would he deal with russia's have h vladimir putin? >> does the president ask you for advice? do you have that kind of relationship? >> unfortunately the answer is no. president obama doesn't, but previous presidents have called on me and carter center to take action. president clinton did and president george w. bush and president george h.w. bush and even reagan called on us to go into sensitive areas when the united states didn't have relationship with unsafery

characters they would ask me as a private citizen to do so. >> bwhy do you think you don't have that relationship with barack obama? >> that's a hard question for me to answer with complete candor. i think the problem was that in dealing with the issue of peace between israel and egypt, the carter center has taken a strong position of equal trade movement with the palestinians and israelis. when he first came out with his speech in cairo calling for the end of settlements and said the 6 p borders would prevail, we were looking at it from the same perspective but i can understand those sensitivities and i don't have criticism of him. >> there's been criticism of his policy regarding drones and the nsa surveillance. what about the argument that many make that drones are

actually the least invasive way of going after terrorists, following the intelligence and trying to pinpoint the perpetrators without engaging the rest of the country? >> just like the execution of innocent people because of mistaken criminal processes, we have executed or killed a lot of innocent people who happen to be at a wedding or at a meeting when there are some potential violent terrorists alleged to be there. but my own belief is that the drone attacks arouse more fervent and dedicated terrorists against us than we're able to eliminate through attacks based on faulty intelligence. >> and the nsa, it has argued that this kind of intelligence gathering is critical to try to

protect the american homeland. >> i think the original thought about that was good. the so-called fisa legislation with which everybody is familiar said that -- originated by me and congress when i was in the white house. and that prescribed or prevented totally any sort of invasion into the private affairs of american citizens unless judges could say this is absolutely necessary. that has been extremely liberalized and i think abused by our own intelligence agencies, far beyond even what congress intended. we've gone too far with it. and i think there's hope we'll have a redressing of it as was recommended by the 40 or so distinguished americans who were appointed by president obama to give him advice. the advice they gave i think was very good. but whether or not that advice will be carried out is still to be seen. >> you're sitting in the oval office and especially after 9/11, you can imagine that the commander in chief has a

zero tolerance for any incident. so does that justify the incredible expansion of our intelligence gathering? >> i don't think so. partially -- i was equally agreed when we had the 9/11 attack. some of the actions taken were maybe justified. but i think that it needs to be a real assessment now that the revelation has been made that almost every communication of americans transmit from one to another, e-mail or anything else, is monitored by the nsa and stored away for a long period of time for later per use al. i have felt my own communication monitors and when i want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, i type or write the letter myself and put it in the post office -- >> old fashioned snail mail. >> i believe if i send an e-mail it will be monitored. i don't have in additianything l

but there's communications i want to have between me and foreign people that ought not to be read by the ns amount and officials in the government. i think americans ought to be able to know that their e-mails and so forth are not monitored by the government unless there's a strict interpretation of a potential violation of security. >> i want to ask you just reflect on vladimir putin. do you think this is a return to the cold war? >> i think that would be going too far. i don't think it's a return to the cold war. when i served during the cold war as president, we were in competition in every country on earth. even the chinese country and africa, latin america or asia, there was a econocompetition, w could get the most trade and sell weapons to those countries. there was a great danger then of a nauk clear holocaust being brought about by a misunderstanding between us and the soviet union. that doesn't exist anymore.

i think there has to be a concerted international prohibition against putin going any further than crimea. i don't think there's any chance that the russian influence in crimea will be lessenned despite sanctions of a very limited nature being imposed. >> i want to ask finally, with all of your energy, what keeps you going. what is the secret? magic of jimmy carter? >> there's no magic involved. my wife and i have been lucky enough to be leaders. carter center. and i have to say it's gratifying and exciting for us toss do that. she's a world champion of mental health. we have a good life still. >> you certainly do. thank you so much for everything you do. >> thank you, andrea. >> heading to his 90th birthday in the fall and going strong, jimmy carter making news about snail mail in particular and his chilly relationship with barack obama. meanwhile, one stage and two

flight 800 that crashed off long island, congress passed a law called family air disaster where it let the ntsb completely relate to families in such a different way from day one the malaysians, maybe they are not used to running an investigation. the families have been put back and forth with theory after theory and false hope after false hope. in this country it's done quite differently. >> how is it done this this country in terms of the ntsb reaching out to families immediately? >> after pan-am 103, they started to get organized and after the value jet in '96 and twa 800 in july of 1996, the families themself came to the government and said we demand to know what's going on. we cannot be treated this way. we want to be at the site and want the government to take us to the crash site. we feel that's important for us to be there. it's a seat change, you don't have the kind of situation you've seen for the last 17 days

in malaise ya. are you satisfied that the trajectory hints towards the southern indian ocean that the plane would have run out of fuel and that barring some kas strofic event given what we know from the pings and that flight path that it hit the water. >> i think we now know by the route it took and how ntsb calculated it, we can rule out the northern curve which was generated primarily by conspiracy theories. >> but a lot of families, including some we interviewed clung to that. >> lack of evidence, andrea, no forensics and debris and right now we're back at square one, anything could have caused that plane to crash, a catastrophic failure unfolding or anything else or something that happened in the cockpit. because of the falsity of evidence we've been led to this wild speculation with not a lot of data. hopefully now we have the first

opportunity in the next several days and the window is short because of seas changing and cyclone coming to get a piece of the plane. it's possible the debris could have come off the 777. >> michael, thank you so much. coming up, redefining success with anna huffington, shares her secrets next. eye on the ball! that's all it is. eye on the ball. that's a good tip. i'll try it. by the way, bill... this is delicious! so many grilled tastes and textures. and all the nutrition i need. go on. no really. top notch.

world's inspired sleep ee vank lift. "thrive", well being and wisdom and wonder. love the book and the subject and boy do i need this. arian arianna, we're so happy to have you on a day before the release. tell me what brought you to this. i know there was a moment. >> first of all, andrea, thank you so much for having me on. i feel pretty strongly i have to convert you to sleep. my wake-up call was in april of 2007 when i collapsed from exhaustion, it was two years into building the huffington post and my daughter going through a college tour, ended up working at night. collapsed and broke my cheekbone on the way down and four stitches in my right eye. and it started me in this

journey room to find out if there was anything really wrong with me, that we really have stopped asked that question of why does it assume that a good life is a life where success is defined as just money and power, the first two metrics. that's what got me on to this recognition that led to this book that there's a third metric of success, that in fact has four pillars that i describe in the book, well being and wisdom and wonder and giving. how do you explain this to let's say a single mother with two jobs and trying to take care of her family. how do they find time to meditate or get enough sleep? >> well, actually, as i show in the book, by making little microscopic differences, thakin babysteps we can completely

transform our experience of life wherever we are. because so often when we don't take care of ourselves -- five minutes to meditate is what i recommend in the section of well being, 30 minutes more sleep or nap, everybody can find that time to do these things. if we prioritize and recognize the importance, that why i have 55 pages of notes of the science behind everything i'm saying. these are not new age flakey ideas, these are performance enhancement tools. if you look at athletes, nobody cares about winning more than athletes. now whether it's olympics or any game, they've incorporated meditation, naps, adequate sleep because they are performance enhancement tools. and also, especially if you're going through a difficult time in your life, a challenging time, that's when you need to be

as resilient as ever. and stress is one of the biggest ways to actually make us lose our resilience. >> in fact, you are absolutely vision nar on this subject because i know you were speaking of this a couple of years ago at the convention, the political conventions and funding meditation spaces and stress is just such a physicalally debilitating part of what doctors are all telling us. i want to share with you something we just got in because it is in your ballpark. hillary clinton today speaking at the education conference with jeb bush, sharing something that all of us of my generation now. take a listen to what she said about why she went to yale instead of har vad. >> when i was admitted to two wonderful schools, harvard and yale, i went to a cocktail party for potential students at harvard and one of the young men i knew there introduced me to a

very imposing looking professor as this is hillary rodham, trying to make up her mind whether to come here or go to our nearest competitor. and this professor looked down at me and said, first of all, we don't have a nearest competitor. and then honest to goodness, he said, and we don't need anymore women. well, i was speechless. but it made my decision a whole lot easier. >> now, i know you can -- when you were preparing your commencement address for smith and know the world of women's colleges and the way women have been discriminated against but this really brings it home. >> absolutely. but in fact, this -- what hillary clinton was talking about is really the second women's revolution. first was giving us the vote. second was giving us access to every feeling, top of every feeling. this is clearly even now still

an incomplete revolution. but what i'm advocating is a third women's evolution, that actually changes the world in which women are competing because the way the world is working at the moment is not sustainable. for women or for men. women are paying even heavier price. we have evidence now that women in stressful jobs have a 40% greater threat of heart disease and 60% greater risk of diabetes because we internalize stress differently. this is the time for us not just to expect to be at the top of everything but to change the way the workplaces are structured. to change also our addiction to technology which makes it so hard for many of us to ever disconnect from our devices and reconnect with ourself. and one last thing, andrea, you're in washington and you're surrounded by very, very smart leaders, making terrible decisions. it's not that they lack iq, they

lack wisdom. when we actually reconnect with ourselves, we're going to get wiser leaders who can see icebergs before they hit the titanic. >> this makes so much sense. arianna huffing ton, congratulations, the book is "thrive" and we'll follow it intently. >> thank you. >> personal testimonial. thank you very much. we'll be right back. good monday to you, i'm bill karins, cold dominates the weather map but we're watching a potential snowstorm, cape cod under a blizzard watch. this is going to be from tuesday evening into wednesday morning. going to be other areas that get a little bit of snow but mostly cape cod and areas of down east maine will be affected by the big storm. good job!
