jets? cancel more flights? every airline has their own team of meteorologists. two weeks ago, we were in united airlines command center looking at their weather team. putting together their forecast for their airline. already, we have seen nearly 300 flights canceled for today. delays as well. for tomorrow, 43 flights canceled. that number could go up once the airlines look at the forecast a little bit later. one airline told us they have been preparing for storms like this since september. they'll be putting that practice and training into practice especially in the south tomorrow. >> that's true. >> they're going to be looking later this morning. ginger shows us right now where it's going. >> the southeastern storm is the one we're worried about. they have the dividers on the highways, you can't plow. or they don't have plows. places like louisiana through jackson, mississippi, birmingham, alabama, that's 6:00 p.m. tonight. then it

vice president bide on the russian hacking. the report is is loaded with specific granular details. there's no single breathtaking revelation that has not already been made public. a finding say u.s. intelligence officials, are clear. the cybertrails lead directly to the kremlin. to russian president vladimir putin. "the washington post" reporting that u.s. electronic intercepts overheard russian officials cheering the victory of donald trump and congratulating themselves on the outcome. >> there is overwhelming consensus in the community. and overwhelming evidence supplied by the community that russia did engage in an effort to impact on the elections. >> reporter: an assertion that will directly challenge donald trump's often stated defense of the russians and scorn for the cia. >> they have n idea if it's russia or china or somebody. it could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. >> reporter: but

russian player who is have been sanctioned by the u.s. the head of the military intelligence unit called the gru. two known russian hackers wanted by the fbi and a cybercompany if russia run by this woman, seen on video, leading a seminar about how the break in to private computers. president obama told a chicago tv station he hopes trump will change his mind. >> my hope is that when the president-elect receives his own briefings, and is able the to examine the intelligence as his team is put together, and they see how professional and effective these agencies are, that -- some of those current tensions will be reduced. >> reporter: in addition to the hacking, u.s. officials now also say russian state propaganda outlets, including the blog site for russian tv net work rt, were

misleading news reports during the campaign, raising questions about hillary clinton's health. and alleging an attack on a u.s. air base in turkey that never happened. now in just a few hours, the heads of the cia and fbi will be here in new york at trump tower to give the same briefing to donald trump who has consistently refused to accept that the russians played any role at all in the hacking. it will be quite a showdown in morning at trump tower. >> it will be. we talk to our white house correspondent jon karl. more about that. >> incredibly high stakes. donald trump face to face with the top intelligence plaerpsd the director of the fbi. looking at evidence, detailed evidence, a presentation that for president obama went an hour. on findings he has consistently rejected. i have to tell you, talking to intelligence officials on this, they say this is high confidence reporting. which is their highest level of certainty. based on all source intelligence. not

and tracking ip addresses. this is about human intelligence, signals intelligence. they're very confident. >> all that we're learning. we heard brian ross' report. the reporting we're hearing is exactly what you're saying and the intelligence is confirming that the hacking is at the hands of the russians. what does donald trump do next? >> that's the big question. we'll get at intent. why did the russians do this? it wasn't simply about undermining the confidence in the american election system. it was about trying to have an impact on the results. it's a very hard thing for donald trump to accept. i have to tell you. there is is nothing in the report, i'm told, that said this actually affected the outcome of the elections. nobody is suggesting this is why donald trump won. >> and you can separate the two? >> you absolutely can. the showdown this afternoon. let's talk to donald trump's incoming press secretary, sean spicer.

mr. clapper said it yesterday. high confidence that russia was behind this. not some guy in a basement. is he prepared to accept that conclusion? >> i think he's prepared to listen and understand how they got to the conclusions they did. one of the things i'm sure he'll bring up is now we're seeing competing questions being asked. the democratic national committee is say thagt the fbi never came and looked at their server. >> the confidence -- the fbi has high confidence russia was behind this. >> i think there is a question that needs to be can asked. the fbi is saying the dnc never gave access to the server. if the server was never looked at, how to you in the intelligence community, come to this question. it's fair question to ask. i think he'll ask questions. not questioning the intelligence. questioning how the conclusions are arrived at. >> does he have an open mi?

100%. we need to see how those conclusions, base tonight evidence, were made. was there a direct link. what degree of confidence. is it proenlt or certainty? the president-elect has a healthy skepticism of everything. when decisions are made, a rush to judgment is not in the country's best interest. he wants to make sure that whatever decisions we make, sanctions or actions, that it's in the country's best interest. i think that the idea that he's approaching this? a logical, methodical way, asking questions. asking why things were done and not is the right way. >> i want to get to a couple of other issues. something of a tweet storm this morning. including reports that the transition is working to find money to pay for the wall on the border with mexico. donald trump's tweet, the dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the the great

of speed will be paid back by mexico later. are they working on paying for the wall? >> he said on october2nd, don't worry about it. mexico is paying for the wall. with a full understanding that the country of mexico will be reimbursing the united states. the idea that we're going through the appropriations process and figuring out how the pay for it shouldn't be a question to anybody. >> what's dishonest abthat reporting? >> several media outlets say he's going back on a promise he made. the idea that people are trying to twist that and make it seem like it's a broken promise when -- >> mexico says they're not paying for a wall. >> that doesn't mean he broke where his promise. he's talking about the appropriations process. that's consistent with what he said all along. >> how is mexico going pay for that wall? >> i think he'll continue to talk about that. threw higher tariffs, a dir

>> we're seeing speaker paul ryan saying eliminating funding for planned parenthood will be part of the bill to repeal obamacare. that will move a lot of people. does the president-elect support this? >> the president-elect has been very clear he's a pro-life president. a pro-life candidate. we're going stand up for life. i think we'll work with congress on that. i think we're goi make sure we continue the be a pro-life pa party. >> thank you. to the case in chicago causing so much outrage. four young black people seen on a facebook live video attacking a white teen with special needs. they now face kidnapping and hate crime charges. alex perez has the latest.

water. >> reporter: the victim has been treated and released. he's now back with his family. >> he's doing well -- as well as he could be at this time. sh should never have happened. >> reporter: and facebook has since removed the video. in a satatement, the company sas they have a team dedicated on call 24/7 to respond to cases like this one. >> horrible cases like this one. thank you. amy has the morning's other top stories. encouraging news in the fight against cancer. >> the death rate from cancer has dropped 25% in the last 25 years. the american cancer society attributes the decline to early detection, better treatment, and fewer people smoking. the death rate is still higher for men than women. and survival rates for lung cancer and pancreatic cancer remain low. a prison escapee faces a court hearing

we appreciate it. you are in the booth. you go through the films. hat are the headlines? >> houston versus oakland. great game. c connor cook, the quarterback for the oakland raiders, gets his first career start in the layoffs against the number one ranked defense in the nfl. that's hard, man. that's harder than being the host of gm "good morning americ" the texans, they have quarterback problems themselves. brock osweiler started 14 games. they benched him. brought him back because of injury. a lot of urgency. a lot of pressure on two young quarterbacks here in houston. >> we have never seen that. a first start in playoff game. you think he can rise on the occasion? >> i have never seen this before. as a matter of fact, it's never happened. i have gone all the way back in my notes to 1966. he's had no reps.

offense very well. to have to do it on the road against the great defense like houston in this noise, first downs are going to be hard to come by. >> let's talk about the new york giants. they've been taking heat this week. apparently partying with justin bieber. pictured onnen a boat with trey songz. is this going to be a distraction? >> if they lose this game, justin bleesh be the reason why. i don't think that was a wise move by these players. putting themselves in this position. but, if they go to green bay and pull this off, they might be partying with bieber again in miami. >> you got a good point there, jon. so, okay. let's have some super bowl predictions. you know what it takes. i remember being there with you after the big win for tampa bay. what does it take to win the super bowl? who do you think we'll see in the game this year? >> you know what it takes. it takes one team to get hot for one month of

and i think the best teams we saw this year were the dallas cowboys and the new england patriots. that would be a great super bowl matchup. you never know. team that place good defense and a quarterback that gets hot, maybe you get a tuck rule. maybe you get some type of help from the officials. who knows? anything can happen. that's hi this time of year is awesome. >> you're stirring it up. here on friday morning, you're stirring it up. what about you? >> i say dallas cowboys. this is america's team. this is their year. wouldn't bit great to see the new england patriots win and to see roger goodell have to hand the lombardi trophy to him. wouldn't it be great to see a deflated football on the lombardi? >> great to see you both. the playoffs start tomorrow. the raiders taken to texans at, what is it,

right here on abc. my one contact is going out. coming up, two minutes, the amazing rescue caught on tape. we'll hear the story next. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed.

or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. so i thought it might be time to talk about a financial strategy. you mean pay him back? so let's start talking about your long-term goals. knowing your future is about more than just you. it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

now, we have the dramatic ski rescue caught on camera. we'll hear from the rescuer, mickey wilson, after this report from neal ckarlinsky. >> reporter: in this moment of terror, a skier strangled by his own backpack. an act of heroism worthy of a hollywood action scene. mickey wilson climbed a lift tower. slid himself 30 feet across the lift's cable, before trying to free the skier by kicking him loose. the ski patrol threw him a knife. he caught it on the first try

him. skier, who didn't want to be identified, told the post it happened hen his backpack got tackled. it was kind of surreal pip knew i was going around the bull wheel and then i was back wards. all of a sunday, i was blacking out. wilson, a professional slackliner competing all over the world, balancing high over the ground on narrow ropes. they turned out the be the perfect spider-man-like skills at the right time. the skier should not have been wearing a pack. the lift was immediately stopped to help him. >> it's okay to use a backpack skiing. before you get on the chair lift, take it off. hold on to it. set it in your lap. and don't wear it on the chair lift. >> reporter: this is the third since dent in a month of a skier getting tangled with a lift because of a backpack. >> hang in there, bud. >> reporter: on monday, this little boy's backpack got caught on a lift. leaving him dangling while the ski patrol rushed to the scene.

>> reporter: a few weeks earlier, another boy, 111 years old, got stuck the same way on the same lift. the resort says they encourage riders to remove their pax. this time, it was mickey wilson's quick thinking, bravely, athleticism that saved a skier who had almost no time to spare. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, denver. >> thanks to neal for that. we're joined by the hero, mickey wilson. thanks for joining us. i know you don't like that word. >> great to be here. thanks for having me. i just did the best i could with what i had. and we saved a life together. me and all the arapahoe basin employees. >> take us back to the moment. you were right behind your fellow skier when you saw this happen? >> we were riding the chair lift together. our other friend had to ride up front. when we got off the chair, he

and at first, we didn't know what to think. then we started to hear screams, yells, the chair lift stopped. we went down to investigate. we saw our friend hanging lifelessly from the chair. >> you tried to make a pyramid? >> it took about 20, 30 seconds to dawn on us that he was up there dig. the first thing we tried was to make human pyramid. the three of us and the lift operator. but because of the very deep powder, we just toppled over. it didn't work. time was of the essence. it was a eureka moment. >> you're a champion slackliner. you climbed the tower. sort of rode across the wire. the wire must have been cold. >> yeah, um, i actually threw off my gloves. as i was doing it, i didn't -- it was -- i knew i had to do it because i needed to, my full dexterity in my hands to hold on the cable pip have an injured hand. this i

so i threw off my gloves and it was very cold. but the adrenaline was really pumping. i climbed up the tower. some people were yelling at me not to. i knew it was what i had to do. i got on the cable like it was a slack line. i slid across it. just like i have done thousands of times on a slack line. i got down to him and realized i didn't have my knife. i always ski with a knife. right then, ski patrol showed up. one of the patrolmen made the most perfect toss to me. i caught it with my hurt hand and cut him down. it was a wave of relief. >> and you have talked to your friend. he's okay? >> he left the ski area still not in good shape. they took him to st. anthony's the hospital in denver. that night, i got a face time call from one of my other friends and the three of them were in the hospital together with him. and he had a next brace

but he was all smiles and they had taken the tube out of his throat. he was making a full recovery. and yesterday, they released him. >> it is an amazing story. mickey wilson, thank you for joining us. >> yeah, thank you. >> everything went right. >> oh. >> wow. >> i didn't know he had to have the knife thrown to him and to catch it with the bad hand. wow. >> it was really something. we have a lot coming up in the next hour. including the memorial for carrie fisher and debbie wh reynolds. a surprise delivery. what a little girl ordered from amazon echo. she seemed happy. >> uh-oh, i have one of those in my house. of your brain can make it hard to lose weight? contrave is an fda-approved weight-loss medicine that may help adults who are overweight or struggle with obesity lose weight and keep it off. contrave is believed to work on two areas of the brain: your hunger center...
