>> reporter: hi, savannah. there are dozens of italian navy divers here. they were able to blast another small hole into the hull. they have been going 30 feet under water trying to get to the first officer's room where they suspect they may find bodies of victims. while this is going on, the ship's captain was arraigned on criminal charges -- manslaughter, causing the wreck, abandoning ship. the company said he went off course too close to show the ship off to villagers, many of whom helped save his passengers. after days in jail the concordia's captain gets one in court. accused of causing this disaster, going off course, attempting to deliver the island a great view. this recent video of the concordia shows it had been done before but francesco schettino ended up hitting rock. then turned to beach the ship, the italian press is reporting

it may have been a stunt so the head waiter to see his hometown. there is a recording. an angry phone exchange hours after the accident happened. captain, this is an order. get back on that ship. there are already casualties. schettino asked, how many. the port replies, you should tell me that. now you get back on that ship and tell us what can be done. now a view up close. parts of a ship you never see. rescuers straining to pull themselves over and inside. you get a sense how terrifying it was for passengers trying to get off. imagine jumping. infrared video shows them inching across the hull down to the water. >> when you're considering whether you're going to survive or not you're worried that other people are worried about you. that's the worst thing. >> reporter: the company commended the actions of the

crew but we could find no survivor who agreed. >> the crew didn't have a clue what they were doing. i asked the guy, do you know what you're doing? the passengers were helping each other. the ones that are doing it were the cooks, wters, house cleaning people. where are the officers that they have? they're all gone. they're not there. >> reporter: among the missing, americans jerry and barbara heil minnesota retirees whose family said they put four kids through college and finally had the means to travel, beyond excited about their dream mediterranean cruise that lasted three hours. the last rescue was sunday. now there is a state of emergency over worries a half million gallons of fuel inside may be leaking. a modern marvel felled by what may have been a bad decision and a rock. one thing we know prosecutors are presenting in the case against the captain is video that supposedly shows the ship

sitting there that night for a long time at a safe angle. that would raise the question why weren't the lifeboats lowered more quickly. many passengers told us that ship tilted fast. savannah? >> still so many questions. michelle kosinski, thank you. politics now. republican candidates sparred in the first of two debates leading to south carolina's primary. last night in myrtle beach the candidates turned up the heat on front-runner mitt romney particularly on finance and business experience. for the first time romney said he may be willing to release his tax returns sometime in april. the mother of missing maine toddler ayla reynolds said she and other family members are willing to take a lie detector test to help find her daughter. trista reynolds said she's offered to take a polygraph since her daughter's disappearance. baby ayla vanished from her father's home one month ago today. the food & drug administration has fined the american red cross more than

$9.5 million for sloppy and unsafe blood management practices. it is the second multi-million dollar penalty against the organization in just two years. the fda said inspections show ongoing problems at the red cross could endanger donors and threaten the nation's blood supply. parts of the pacific northwest will be seeing significant snow over the next 24 to 48 hours. seattle could see as much as nine inches by tomorrow. on monday, light snow and ice made for difficult driving conditions in the higher elevations of oregon and parts of washington. actress lindsay lohan is due in court today in los angeles to give her monthly update on how she's meeting strict probation requirements. lohan has been performing community service at the county morgue and attending psychotherapy as part of her probation for separate drunk driving and theft cases. now back to al for a check of the weather. >> thanks, savannah.

we've got a couple areas of concern today. first of all expanding severe weather from louisiana to alabama. possibility of an isolated tornado with heavy thunderstorms. you can already see them firing up now. out in the pacific northwest, as savannah mentioned, we have a strong jet stream, pacific moisture and with cold air in place that means heavy snow for the northwest. in the mountains, some areas with 30 inches of snow or more. otherwise from the cascades up into the peuget sound, 6 to 14 inches of snow. >> good morning.

we are warmer than we were yesterday at this time. we will make it into the 50's sp proofing your routine. it's that time of year when everyone seems to have the dreaded winter sniffles. how can we avoid them? dr. raj is here to help. she's the contributing medical editor for "health" magazine. good to see you. >> good to see you, al. >> first people say i have been going in and out of the heat, into the cold. >> right. >> does that make you sick or not? >> not really. the change in temperature isn't the deal here. in winter it's the fact that we are in closed quarters because it's cold outside and that increases your exposure to germs. there are things you can do to fend them off. >> first you say watch what you eat. >> diet can make a difference. first of all have protein to

help the white blood cells grow and be strong. that helps us fight infection. antioxidants are great. brightly colored fruits and vegetables can help fight off and increase immunity. finally, omega 3 fatty acids are great for the heart and good for your immune system. fish, flaxseeds. >> what about vitamin c? >> lots of controversy. studies have been conflicting in terms of preventing the cold. but shortening the duration, that has been proved. it's great to get it naturally through fruits. oranges, grapefruit. it may shorten the cold and maybe lessen symptoms a little bit. >> this is the one we heard. have a bowl of chicken soup. it can't hurt. >> right. >> you say it's not the chicken soup but the warm liquid. >> warm liquids in general help loosen secretions in your nasal passages. it can soothe a sore throat, reduce the symptoms of cough,

runny nose, sneezing. chicken soup actually does have special properties where it can fight off infection. it increase it is mobility of certain white blood cells to help you fight a cold. chicken soup is great, but hot tea with honey and lemon, all of these are good. >> during the winter months, exercise helps but if you're already sick you may want to pull back. >> exactly. before you're sick getting regular exercise is important. one study showed people who exercise 30 minutes a day average one cold a year whereas those who don't average four colds a year. it helps increase the immune system. once you're sick you need to rest, let your body rest. don't get dehydrated. so take it easy when you have a cold. >> keep the house clean and fresh and keep changing your sheets and pillow cases. >> yeah. at least once a week. the germs tend to stick there. if you are sick you will continue to be sick if you still have germs on the sheets. clean them at least once a week. >> the humidifier is important?

>> it loosens secretions, helps with a dry throat. cool mist is more safe than warm his. keep the temperature around 69 degrees. >> and wash your hands. >> the losast but most importantly. wash them frequently, not too quickly. lather, rinse, repeat. >> hopefully we will be healthy for the whole winter. >> yes. >> still to come, after her health announcement this morning, paula deen is in the kitchen whipping up some lighter, lower fat fare. we'll check in with her. up next, jill martin has amazing steals and deals that should save you a boat load of money. first, these messages. kleenex brand tissues announcer] are america's softest... no wonder people want to share them on and on. send a kleenex brand share package for free today at kleenex.com and start your own chain of sharing. in return, you'll receive a sample of new kleenex cool touch tissues...

color could be worn without the under nooelt color. it adds a little bit of shine. >> ithe secret is to keep everything else neutral. >> and my trick is to take a little bit of the -- what is this called? >> lip gloss. >> looks like mascara. hi. i'm bobbi brown. put a little bit on the cheek for a glow. >> it's like a dewy gloss. i love it. this is beautiful, marie. next up is cassandra for the opposite of the lip obviously. we are applying it on the eye area. what do you have here? >> exactly. we started with a beige lip. not everyone can wear a beige lip. you can. >> how do you know if you can or not? >> if you have a lot of color like a red lip you look too ashy. if you have a light lip it's gorgeous. >> beautiful. a soft blush but make sure it's there. and then color.

one. >> those colors are stunning. i would say, only bobbi brown could apply this. >> no. first of all, the important thing is she's wearing concealer and corrector and liner around the eye. because it's red in tone you cannot skip the eye liner. what you could do is either use your finger and put it on the whole lid. >> wow. >> really you can play a little bit. put it over your brown shadow. >> why your finger? >> you can use a brush or your finger. the difference with your finger is it doesn't flake on the face. if your face is totally done and you have a bold color. >> so you don't get color below the eye. >> then you can take the brush and soften it which is great. >> that's nice. >> you can add more. it depends on your personality. >> uh-huh. >> you can also a use a color like this over your eye liner with a brush. you know how you line your eye

with black or charcoal? you could put it over that. >> would you select a bright color based on what you are wearing or opposite? >> i would never wear a bright color with this shirt because it's so bright. no. because she's wearing all black she can get away with color. >> are you using both colors or just one? >> go for one. that's the trick. make sure your blush is there but soft. >> all right. >> it's almost a hint of color. she looks fresh and modern. a lot of time you see tv commercials with the blues and greens. it's not wearable. that's not the way people should walk on the street. this is the way to get away with it. it's winter. >> winter with a pop. maria, you look fantastic and cassandra, you do as well. love the ideas. up next, the queen of southern cooking, paula deen gives her

>> lasagna is traditionally rich and heavy. this would normally be full fat. this is no fat ricotta cheese. and adding cottage cheese. to that we had an egg and we cut back by using one egg white. little bit of parm. mix it together for that beautiful whiteness in the center of the lasagna. >> yes. >> you have the noodles. >> these are low gluten, too. every piece of the recipe is a little bit lighter. >> the best thing about lasagna is there is no blueprint. you can go sauce first to get that down. we're using the gluten-free today. the cheese on this end is low fat cheese. we have mozzarella, gruyeur. mom breaks up cream cheese in it. >> so good!

>> a low fat cream cheese. >> yes. >> there are different varieties of these. >> let me tell you what i'm starting to do. >> let's come back this way. you put it in the oven, bake it. it looks like this. >> i have started using a wheat pasta. >> whole wheat. >> you're hearing about gluten-free foods, people with that problem. so you can certainly use that noodle which is gluten-free or a wheat. >> how did you change up the sour cream cake? >> oh, my gosh. this is so good. it has only a cup of sugar. it's got cocoa powder, all the flavors that you crave. it's so wonderful and fudgy. you eat it with fresh fruit or even frozen whipped toppings that don't have sugar and a lot of fat. or, you know, fresh whipping cream and don't use the sugar or use a substitute. >> you boys proud of mom? >> so proud.
