and same orange jumpsuit and it seems the same threats of beheading delivered by the isis terrorist dubbed jihad john because of his british accent. today he said the two men would be executed if the japanese government did not pay a $200 million ransom in the next three days. >> you now have 72 hours to pressure your government. >> reporter: the japanese government quickly responded this morning with the prime minister on a trip to israel saying he would not give in to terrorism. "i strongly demand the islamic state not harm the japanese citizens and release them immediately." 9 mat 99 the massive air campaign strike and among the targets strikes from the air were aimed at disrupting the isis propaganda machine. today's video suggests the brutal terror group has somehow found a way to rebound. isis continues to hold at least one more americ a female

26-year-old humanitarian aid worker. the fact that she was not referred to on today's tape will come as one small piece of good news for her family which has been quietly working behind the scenes to seek her release, robin. >> still wishing them all the best that family. all right. thank you. president obama will address the conflict with isis tonight in his state of the union address. he's already reeled most his new proposals but abc news learned about a new move he'll make on policy towards cuba a jim avila starts us off in havana. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. sources tell abc news that tonight at the state of the union president obama will tell congress that he has done all he can do to normalize relations with cuba and that the time is right to lift the embargo and that only the congress can do that. the president will make his case to the american people that the embargo has bee failed policy and that it's time to change in the national interest of the united states and also the cuban people. george. >> okay jim, thanks. more from jon karl at the white house. jon, this is one of many

proposals not likely to go too far. >> reporter: george there is strong opposition to lifting that cuban embargo from prominent republicans like marco rubio but from very powerful democrats but the politics on this are interesting. farm groups are now pushing to see that embargo lifted because they want to sell american farm products to cuba so you have farm state republicans, very powerful republican senators who agree with obama on this and would like to see the embargo lifted at the very least for agricultural products. >> that batch of proposes he put out to help the middle class he says and certainly going to try to really own this economic progress we've seen in the last year. >> reporter: yeah this will be the most optimistic state of the union address we have seen from president obama. he will really being going out and saying america is back. the economy is resurging but there will be plans here it's called the robin hood approach here where he will call for helping the middle class, got proposals ranking from tax cuts for the middle class, free

community college for two years giving workers guaranteeing them seven days of paid sick leave all paid for with tax hikes on the rich. as you can imagine these proposals are more of a wish list than anything that republicans are going to pass. >> they're not going to sign on to that. anything the president will proposal that could get bipartisan support. >> well there are a number of possible area one big one is trade. the president has several big trade deals he wants to get done. republicans are with him on that. >> okay jon karl thanks very much. we'll have full coverage of the president's speech and republican response starting at 9:00 eastern. >> we know you're heading down there after "gma." a fast-moving storm that will leave a pat snow for the midwest and northeast. >> a light snow 1 to 3 inches but doesn't take much to get the roads messy as we saw this weekend. brand-new video from i-95 in new jersey. take a look. that would be a semi a tractor

trailer, two there and just narrowly missing the guy in the car. fortunately they were all okay. so i want to time out the storm so you know what to expect. northern plains through southern minnesota into chicago, more tonight into early tomorrow. it's really for the mid-atlantic and northeast, wednesday night into early thursday event so i timed it right here wednesday 9:00 p.m. into philadelphia heavier and new york city fortunately a little bit after those people's evening commutes but early morning boston down through connecticut may be slick. slight but you could see 1 to 3 inches overall, 2 plus maybe even 4 in some of those places in central pennsylvania. so that's a look at this clipper system. a whole lot more coming up in a couple minutes. >> thank you very much. to the other top developing story, amy is back. good to have you back. >> thank y good morning, everyone. we begin with a mysterious fire in a maryland mansion. the multimillion dollar home destroyed. he and his family unaccounted for this morning.

still praying that they're here somewhere. >> reporter: the blaze breaking out around 3:30 a.m. taking 85 firefighters more than 3 hours to contain. this is the $9 million waterfront estate before the disaster. a seven-bed room 7 1/2-bath dream home for the tech executive and his family. family members are now asking for prayers. >> i'm praying that they're still here and i hope all their friends are doing the same. >> reporter: just as soon as it's safe enough investigators will begin looking through the charred debris for possible victims. the atf is assisting in the investigation into a cause. whether this was a horrible accident or arson could take weeks to determine. amy. >> all right, bazi kanani with the very latest. thank you. over overseas at least ten people have been killed in violent pro- 'tises across the muslim world. thousands are protesting "charlie hebdo" and its

depiction of prophet muhammad. demonstrations reported in nine countries. investigators have ruled out terrorism in the 8501 crash. the cockpit voice recorder contains only the pilot sounding very busy. back here at home chaos on the streets of south florida. hundreds of bikers in miami for ak over the streets running red lights evading police and performing stunts. the ride apparently organized all through social media. and finally we've all been a parent who went a little overboard planning their child's birthday party, but i dare say you've never seen anything quite like this. the family of a 5-year-old boy in england recently accepted a classmate's invitation at a ski resort but then they realized grandma and grandpa would be visiting so alex didn't end up going. last week he got a bill from his classmate's mother tucked into his school bag. a no-show fee for $24 and also

she also is threatening to take alex's parents to small claims court if they don't pay up. hello. you know what they're 5. wait till she gets busy or has a problem in scheduling then -- how many birthday parties did you have to -- >> $24. >> give me a break. >> kids' birthday parties. >> boy, you've had -- >> i always try to let the mom know but sometimes it happens. >> you were so serious. really? okay. >> i was counting the number of birthday parties i missed. >> it's $24. not 2400. >> the mom was trying to etch too the other mom a lesson. >> there you go. >> and small claims court will do that. >> i was going to say. hey, amy, good to have you back amy. now to best picture oscar nominee "american sniper"

generating big buzz. some are asking if the record-setting movie glorifies a hero or a killer. abc's byron pitts has that story for us. >> don't pick it up. >> reporter: it's the blockbuster hit shattering records this morning. >> hey. my daughter right now. >> reporter: "american sniper," the largest opening weekend ever for a drama not to mention its six oscar nods including best picture and actor for broadly cooper who place chris kyle the real life navy s.e.a.l. with the most kills in history. >> you would never ever want to mess with. >> reporter: the film directedly clint eastwood is generating drama offscreen this morning. this billboard in los angeles spraypainted with the word murder. online a firestorm after seth rogen and michael moore both appeared to take aim at the film. rogen saying it reminded him of a scene about nazi propaganda in

the glam "inglourious basterds." moore tweeting "we were taught snipers were cowards." both later saying their comments were taken out of context but the implication was enough to put celebrities and politicians on the defensive. rob lowe responding in disbelief to moore's tweet. he's kidding, right. sarah palin slamming hollywood leftists on facebook but also thanking cooper and eastwood for respecting the united states military. >> people still have very passionate and polarized opinions about the rightness of going to war in iraq whether or not celebrating sniper kills is something that we should be doing. >> reporter: but while the controversial rages on this morning, chris kyle's widow says she's proud of her late husband and cooper's job portraying him. >> the heart of the man the ability to laugh through it all, bradley captured all of that. >> reporter: for "good morning

america," byron pitts, abc news new york. well i'me that dialogue is not going anywhere any time soon. the super bowl is less than two weeks away but the big game is being overshadowed by deflategate. the nfl is investigating the new england patriots to see if they took the air out of the ball in the blow-out win over the coals. abc's ryan smith has the story. >> reporter: overnight the new england patriots playing defense, balking at allegations they intentionally deflated balls to help blow out the indianapolis colts. >> they are the afc champions. >> reporter: quarterback tom brady laughing off the controversy on boston radio show dennis and callahan. >> i think i heard it all at this point and it'sridiculous. >> reporter: rob gronkowski poking fun at the accusations posting this meme of him spiking the ball of a touchdown saying warning, gronking may cause deflation. while bill belichick denied

knowing anything about it. >> we'll cooperate fully. i didn't know anything about it until this morning. >> reporter: the nfl confirming to abc news an investigation is now under way. nfl rules state that altering footballs could subject those responsible to discipline including a fine of $25,000. and a smallest deflation could make a big difference. >> the effective of a deflated ball is a quarterback may be able to handle it better in inclement weather such as rain. >> reporter: cheating allegations are nothing new to football. in 2007 the league slapped belichick with a $500,000 fine and took 250 grand and a top draft pick from the club for spygate. videotape be new york jetliner sideline signals during a game. the ncaa suffered its own scandal three years ago when a student manager was fired at usc and school fined $25,000 for intentionally deflating five footballs in a game against oregon.

so here's the difference. this is an actual football correct weight an all that. this one is slightly deflated. do you think it makes a difference. i'm a lineman. i could catch this one. it's easier to grab. >> especially when it's raining as it was during that game. it was pouring all game so -- >> it's a big advantage if that's what happened but you know what they're a great team. made it to the super bowl. let's enjoy that. >> it was a advising win. >> deflated ball or not. >> you could catch both of these easy. >> ginger a lot of rain coming south. >> i wanted to head on over. show you what's happening new mexico some of the high country could see more than eight feet. this is wednesday into thursday so that's why it's a winter storm watch. a couple of winter weather advisories but the front side not snow but rain and heavy rain for houston going to the midweek and beyond.

surprises in store them so you guys it ought to be fun. look at this. husband -- the husbands got up at 3:00 a.m. so they could meet new kids on the block so you know what these fans are excited. we're excited. back to you, robin. >> there was a line down the block when we got in this morning. we'll start this half hour however with the trial of two former vanderbilt football players. accused of sexually assaulting a female student in a dorm room when she was drunk and unconscious. the jury viewing graphic video of the alleged assault monday and a key witness expected to take the stand this morning. abc's tom llamas is here with that story. >> reporter: good morning. from the start of this trial jurors have been fed a steady diet of graphic images and jarring testimony. the alleged crimes all happening on the campus of the prestigious vanderbilt university. former vanderbilt university football players brandon vandenburg and corey batey, stone-faced in court monday. the two teammates now

co-defendants, both charged with aggravated rape and sexual battery against a female student in june of 2013. >> the alleged victim laying in the hallway of gillette dorm. >> reporter: on monday detectives describing the alleged attack which they say the young men recorded on their smartphones. >> this is corey batey with his shirt removed. his pants removed. >> reporter: jurors saw one video, too graphic to show the rest of the courtroom but on it you could hear laughter during the alleged rape. >> reporter: investigators say vandenberg texted some to his friends and searched google to find out if police could retrieve dethreatted photos. the victim vandenberg's girlfriend a neuroscience major. >> that day had such promise for her. >> reporter: prosecutors claim surveillance video shows him carrying her to her dormroom.

baity by his side. >> within two minutes she was sexually assaulted. >> reporter: two other players joined in brandon banks and jaborian mckenzie also tipped but expected to the prosecution. mckenzie taking the stand later today. the defense says everyone made mistakes that night even the victim. >> she drank quite a lot of alcohol. >> reporter: baitty's lawyer says it's the climate. >> it came in the way of television shows that glamorize and promote sexual activity. >> reporter: all four have pleaded not guilty. now the alleged victim in this case may possibly testify this week. she's been in court for these wrotings crying through some of the motor graphic testimony, prosecutors say there's no dna evidence connecting baty or the other co-deafs but prosecutors say they don't need it. they have the video and photographs. >> all right, tom.

dab is here with more on this. we're hearing the defense claim, a college culture. what kind of defense is that. >> it sounds like batey's defense. two veryifferent defenses but it sounds like batey's defense is "a," i got so drunk i couldn't create the intent to commit sexual assault. that's not a real defense as a legal matter. as a practical matter what they'll try to do is point the finger at one of these other two guys who will be coming in to testify against them as a legal matter. they say say charged with the wrong crime. but, boy, if he is on this videotape doing that that is a tough position to be in as a defense lawyer. >> talk more about the videotape. very graphic. >> the videotape and other images here remember with regard to batey, very very powerful testimony. vandenberg different defense. he is the one alleged to have orchestrated this. meaning the authorities don't even think he actually was

involved in the rape itself but they say that he was part of the entire thing. meaning he had the intent to do it. he was egging people on in the group. he was sending out the videos and as a legal matter under tennessee law these prosecutors say that's rape. >> again, the two others are going to be on the stand today. >> we're expecting at least one of them on the stand and that could be very powerful again with regard to vandenburg the one they don't have the videotape against because that's someone there who can talk about everything that happened that's not quite on that tape. that could be very powerful testimony against him. you're going to see a withering cross-examination where the defense attorneys basically ask him why he's testifying, what kind of deal he's hoping to get and i think you're going to his defense attorneys trying to point the finger at the two testifying. >> a lot watching it closely. thanks. to amy in the social skweet with "the speed feed." >> the "american sniper" controversy which we brought you this morning takes three top

spots including michael moore and heating up abcnews.com and sports blog the mystery of the toothless tiger. tiger woods surprising girlfriend lindsey vonn in italy when she broke the record world cup wins sharing a celebratory kiss and then came a different kind of hole in one. this one with tiger's teeth. safe to say he was not celebrating when he says he was struck by an overly enthusiastic videographer who knocked out one of his front teeth. these pictures have gone viral. race organizers say they respect sure how it happened. the most famous the world required extra security and didn't know about it until it hit the news. take a look at that scarf he's wearing. a nice row of teeth there. vonn told her it helped her pick him out in the crowd. he loves that stupid mask spoken like a real girlfriend. he went from a skeleton to a

we're skwievened by my longtime friend ian smith author of best-selling books including "shred" and most recently "super shred" the big results diet. welcome. good to see you. you were so successful with "shred." what inspired you to come up with super shred. >> shred was six weeks and 0 pounds. our shredder nation said can we do it faster. four weeks, 20 pounds real accessible food and all about how you can make it available to everyone. >> four weeks, 20 pounds. you put my parents -- you put momma and papa strahan on it. >> you were doubtful at first

because you said doc, if you can do it it's a miracle. they're doing great, papa stra is down 10 pounds 6 inches. mama trey is down almost 25 pounds and an update coming up -- >> you can't tell her nothing. >> so on "rachael ray" we'll do an update following her for the whole year. >> if she loses the goal weight i have to buyer a whole new wardrobe. everyone wonders why i work so much. well you know if super shred, one crazy thing about dieting, snacking is one thing most people get in trouble with. we'll talk about some snacking options that i would probably think would be okay but you're saying you may need to alter. >> snacking is important in super shred. snacks are important because they help you reduce the amount of calories you eat at a meal. a bran muffin that looks healthy, right. here's the problem, the size of the muffin and amount of sugar added could be up to 800

calories. >> 800 calories for one. the size is too big. if you look at our other option this is what you find in super shred. half a whole grain english muffin, half a tablespoon of peanut butter 100 calories or less. >> wow. now, over here this is probably my weakness cookies and little snacks like this just like everybody else in the studio so tell me about this. >> people see either low fat or fat-free cookies. fat-free typically means they've taken out the fat and replaced it with sugar so don't be fooled because it's fat-free could still have a lot of calories. >> word play so what we say is -- >> what is a healthy option. >> with your thumbs up? >> take some pretzels dip it in chocolate. chocolate is healthy for you, get the crunch that suppresses your appetite. >> you don't eat a hundred of these. >> 150 calories or less for

snacks. >> got it. the last option here. >> this is granola. >> granola. >> it's typically healthy but you if eat it it has a lot of preservatives, sugar and fats. sometimes just a half a scoop can be 300 calories. >> for half a scoop. >> so watch the calorie count on the back of the book or the package but if you do this with super shred we say take air popped popcorn if you want a little salt that's fine add a little salt. so much healthier, athe calories and a cup is a serving. >> you know what you'll cost me a new wardrobe with my momma. awesome.
