it's not a shark. it's people in a boat. it's a company that actually lets you sit in a boat-shaped shark. but talk about a scare, i would not be

this morning on "world news now," chaos at one of the nation's busiest airport. passengers at jfk were evacuated for hours, hundreds of flights canceled and the freezing weather is to blame. advisers are stepping up to defend president trump, even defending his mental fitness. this as former chief strategist steve bannon is sort of walking back some of the comments he used against the president's son. and later this hour, time's up at the 75th annual golden globes. >> hollywood blacked out the

show, giving the normally boozy affair a much more somber tone. we're going to hear from the women and men who spoke out against abuse. and with everyone wearing black, judging the fashion this season might get interesting. we'll break down who wore it best and who still manned to mess up their look despite the colorless dress code. "the skinny" goes all hollywood on this monday, january 8th. from abc news, this is "world news now." ah, there, so it is like black is the new black on the red carpet. different shades of black. >> i was impressed. not a single celebrity there did not wear black. >> yes, there is one person who wore a color who is the head of the hollywood foreign press, but we'll get to that a little later. but we want to start with the travel nightmare that continues to grow. one of the busiest international airports in north america. >> a b

airport was trying to recover from saturday's weather-related mess that caused cancellations and delays. >> good news, overseas flights have resumed, but there are still plenty of problems with baggage and computer terminals at that airport. >> it was just a madhouse. there was like pushing people out, and like nobody was moving. everyone's like confused. >> reporter: travelers at jfk airport tragically fighting for survival. >> luggage everywhere and people everywhere. no place to walk. >> reporter: the madness caused by a broken water main inside terminal four. three inches of water taking out two-thirds of the arrivals area for five hours. >> it just kept coming and coming. >> reporter: power shut off for safety reasons. >> they turned off the lights at the place where the luggage arrives. they evacuated everyone. fire alarms started going off.

what to do. >> the pipe had frozen. so this appears to be directly weather-related. but it is not clear why the pipe was not weather protected. >> the carousel was completely floating. and they didn't come until it was running into carousel three, so they said move into carousel four. once we got to carousel four, they said empty the building completely. >> reporter: several inbound flights diverted throughout the night. and on the tarmac, several aircraft on the ground with baggage for hours, unable to turn around for takeoff. as for the complete meltdown on saturday, the port authority saying the cascading failure's the result of a break down in communication between airlines and terminal operators. >> getting them to gates, unloaded in a timely fashion was completely unacceptable. >> reporter: as for su

terminal was jam-packed because passengers waiting for their luggage, some waiting for six hours before being told to go home and come back monday. now for the first time this year, a bit of good news. temperatures are going to be above freezing today. >> but the deep freeze got in last shots. jack's excited about it. there was a burst pipe that turned a philadelphia expressway into a skating pond. the major downtown loop there was shutdown. luckily it happened overnight and on a weekend. >> ice and accidents closed highways in the chicago area, but the cold weather froze lake michigan. >> the weather will improve a little bit. >> an a little. >> somewhat. >> let's get the latest from paul williams. >> we are still expecting another round of wintry weather, but this time around not as cold, but still snow. keep that in mind. so we're talking about snow in indiana, ohio, penyl

wintry or icy mix throughout portions of west virginia. we're looking at this icy mix through the ohio valley region through the evening area. so brace for that with a bait of rain for the deep south that will slow thins down there. and then speaking of rain, finally rain in the southwest from l.a. to san diego. maggie, kendis? >> let's talk about that for a second. southern california residents are filling sandbags ahead of that storm. the wildfire stripped vegetation and mudslides are very possible. turning now to president trump and his inner circle spending the weekend fending off damaging allegations in an explosive new book. >> and now steve bannon is claiming at least one stunning statement attributed to him was misconstrued. more now from brian clark. >> reporter: president trump on the offensive sunday, discrediting a new book "fire and fury" that paints an unflattering picture of his presidency, saying i've had to put up with the fake news since the first day i announced i would be running for preside

book. written by a totally discredited author. ronald reagan had the same problem and handled it well. so will i. the book's author, michael wolff defending his book on "meet the press." >> this is, what happened here, what's going on here? this is, you know, i think not an exaggeration and not unreasonable, it's not unreasonable to say this is 25th amendment kind of stuff. >> reporter: the 25th amendment allows the vice president and cabinet to remove the president from office if unfit to serve. the white house adviser steven miller defending the president's mental fitness on cnn's "state of the union." >> you've got 24 hours a day of anti-trump material, you are not going to give three minutes. >> there's one viewer you're caring about and you're being on

obsequious to please him. i think i've wasted enough of my viewers' time. as -- >> reporter: meanwhile, steve bannon issued an apology. over comes attributed to him in that book. he now claims that he used the treasonous adjective to describe paul manafort. in a statement obtained by abc news, he says i regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding don jr. has diverted attention from the president's historical accomplishments in the first year of his presidency. the president has been harsh on bannon in recent days following the book's revelations. brian clark, abc news. >> one more note about that steven miller interview with jake tapper. he wouldn't leave. steven miller stayed there. they tried to kindly ask him to leave the set. he did not. finally, the folks at cnn had to have security escort him out of the building there on the set. he refused to leave. it was a very interesting scene apparently, after things got a little heated there on set.

>> behind the scenes. in the meantime, we're going to move on. because senator bernie sanders is attacking president trump's plan to extend a border wall with mexico. the president's proposal calls for spending $18 billion over the next decade on the wall. sanders says the administration's idea doesn't make any sense. >> the american people in fact do not want to spend billions of dollars on a wall which trump told us would be paid for by the mexican government, which of course is not going to be paid for by the mexicans. >> sanders did indicate he's open to a compromise on border security and the protection of d.r.e.a.m.ers, the young immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally by their parent. the search for a missing college student has come up empty nearly a week after he vanished near his parents' home in california. he was on winter break from the university of pennsylvania when he was last seen. a friend told police they went to the park tuesday fight and

never came back. but his parents are baffled, saying he was excited about school and a new apartment. >> he left our house that night with no wallet, no money, no identification, no credit cards. no keys. no eyeglasses. this is someone that needs to wear eyeglasses. >> blaze's mother also says he takes daily medication that he needs to function, and she doesn't believe her son would willingly leave it behind. spacex has launched a secret satellite. it's not quite so secret because everybody knows about it. >> so an unmanned falcon rocket lifted off from cape canaveral hours ago. it is code named zuma. and it will be in an undisclosed orbit. commentary stopped about five minutes into the flight, because the mission is classified. >> classified. however spacex did show the boosters' return to florida,

even it landing upright. >> every time we see this, it's the most amazing thing. >> every time. >> they're doing great work there. >> you and i, first trip to mars, kendis. >> you first. >> i want you right there next to me. if you've ever asked yourself whether it's too cold to go outside without pants, the answer is no. >> sub-freezing temperatures made for a slightly cooler than normal no-pants subway ride in new york. the requirements to participate, you're willing to take off your pants in the subway and willing to keep a straight face. >> the worldwide event saw many leave their trousers at home before boarding the trains. like here in the london tube, people left their trousers at home before getting there. >> ooh, chilly! >> wow. coming up in "the skinny," the tough choices for fashion at the colorless golden globes. who managed to stand out in a sea of all black. kelly clarkson, star struck on the red carpet.

mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. they're the women whose names we'll never know. >> quite amazing to see just that sea of black from hollywood last night. well, coming up in "the skinny," the best dressed of the blacked-out looks. >> plus an a-lister spotted serving drinks to his table. my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish but now, i take metamucil every day. it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like.
