major beau biden! star, sir, served in iraq. all of a sudden, i lost it. how could you? >> reporter: days after he announced he wouldn't reach for the white, biden told norah o'donnell how he felt about it. >> some said, beau said dad, you got to run and there was this hollywood moment. nothing like that ever, ever happened. as a matter of fact, it was almost the opposite at that point. it was almost, dad, you got to stay strong, because the family is going looking to you, dad. >> reporter: biden made a point of praising bernie sanders and hillary clinton for debating the issues and not attacking each other personally and not so subtle dig at the republican candidates. and, gayle, he made clear that even if he is not running, biden is intent on staying relevant throughout this campaign. >> in the republican race, donald trump says that ted cruz

some legal advice. >> you go to federal court and ask for a declaratory judgment. >> reporter: cruz denied having a canadian passport and said the legal question is moot. >> as a legal matter it's quite straightforward. i would note it's occurred many times in history. john mccain was born in panama but he was a natural born citizen because his parents were u.s. citizens. >> reporter: mccain faced similar questions during his white house run in 2008 with his birth on a military base overseas. >> that is different than foreign soil. i am not a constitutional app scholar on that but i think it's worth lookinging into. >> reporter: in new hampshire, jeb bush called the issue phony. >> this is donald trump trying to put everybody into his own reality tv show. i'm not going to play it. >> reporter: rand paul says one thing is for certain. >> he is qualified and eligible to be the prime minister of

equipment to move it out and stay ahead of the mud flow. the reason they are doing is that because all of the mud is coming down here and ending up inside these mobile homes right at people's front doors. last night firefighters evacuated ten of these mobile homes and just one more probable el nino has brought ashore. record breaking rainstorms are creating serious problems in southern california. firefighters scramble to pump 8 inches of water out of this orange county driveway, while those in other flood-proned neighborhoods. >> we had probably 3,000 tons of mud yesterday and we have ruffle 6,000 tons. >> reporter: across the region, emergency crews are a life line. in arizona they pulled a man and his grandson from a hummer after they were swept up in raging floodwaters. >> thankful. >> reporter: in the los angeles area, utility worker was killed while responding to a service

jong-un for exploding an atomic device that his regime trumpeted as a hydrogen bomb, a powerful addition to north korea's arsenal. the u.s. is skeptical of those claims. >> that in its shown analysis is not consistent with the claims that were made by the north koreans that they had successfully conducted a test of a hydrogen bomb. we have determined that they conducted a nuclear test last night. >> reporter: u.s. aircraft flying out of japan will now test for radiation to determine exactly what type of device north korea exploded near the city of killju. a tight used for the past three nuclear tests. president obama continued a decades long policy of slapping sanctions on pyongyang. nothing has worked so far. the white house is still trying to figure out what to do and chinese official came here yesterday to consult.

of americans are overweight or obese. dr. holly phillips is here with >> good morning. >> what is the big recommendation? >> i think the most radical change this year had to do with sugar intake. now, excess sugars have always been discouraged. but this year, the guidelines took it a step further and they actually put an upper limit on how much excess sugar we should have which is less than 10% of our daily calories. that translates into ruffle 10 to 12 teaspoons of added sugar a day. when you put it in context one soda or sports drink has more than 10 to 12 teaspoons sugar a the table. >> this is big because they have sugar in this way. >> right. they have always said limit added sugar but now they said limited to exactly this amount or under. >> i think that is fascinating, because if you think about it, we have known the war on sugar exists but the idea that one can

could put you over the edge. i think that rings a bell for everybody. what about fat? >> fat, you know, here. if the guidelines have a theme it's to focus less on specific nutrients and look at sort of overall dietary patterns. so in that way, they actually got rid of two really important numbers. with one was the total fat intake daily. and the other was total dietary cholesterol intake daily. they got rid of those upper limits. but they are not saying have a high fat, high cholesterol diet. they want the focus to be on the bad fat, saturated fat and make up less than 10% of our daily calories and if we do it replace the bad fats with polyunsaturated fats we will take in less cholesterol and fewer total fat calories. >> what did it say about coffee? >> good news for java drinkers. i'll throw myself in this camp.

interstate, presumably for an easy escape using a different car each time to avoid further detection. >> with social media these days, somebody knows who these people are. they are using service in the community such as hotel rooms and restaurants and gas stations. they could be anywhere. >> reporter: again, the fbi is hoping somebody will identify the woman at least very soon because she is making no effort to hide her face as we have seen in that surveillance video. and they are also worried that these thieves are becoming more confident and their robberies violent. >> thank you, mark. i have a thorough eory. you want to hear it? i think those are disguises. doesn't make sense you can see their faces and nobody comes when you catch them, i don't think she is going to have dark hair and i don't think she is going to wear glasses and i think he is wearing stuff. we will see. >> detective king! detective king! >> i have the king detective whoopie. just a theory. thank you, mark.

french officials said this morning a man brandishing a knife tried to enter a police station in paris before he was shot dead by police. >> the big fear is the chinese government is seeing much worse growth than we know. months after announcing he wouldn't challenge hillary clinton, the vice president made it clear it's still something he thinks about daily. >> he says he is a natural born citizen because his mother is a u.s. citizen. >> well, i hope he is right. >> forecasters say this is just the beginning of what is expected to be a very wet winter. overnight, president obama told the leaders that south korea and japan, that the u.s. response will be strong. >> this is the mall where a string of robberies began last april. the jewelry thieves have a plan and they stick to it. >> "american idol" begins its 15th and final season. >> things will be different without it. now if you want to see mentally ill people sing, you have to go

i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. paris police stopped this morning what may have been a new terror attack. a man with a knife attempted to enter a police station in northern paris. officers shot and killed him. >> paris was already on edge because it's one year to the day after the deadly attack at the "charlie hebdo" newspaper. charlie d'agata is in london with new information. >> reporter: the man charged that police station shouting allah akbar before the police shot him dead. he appeared to be wearing a suicide belt. two sources said he had wires sticking out of his clothing. the police say that belt appeared to be a fake. the bomb squad has been called in and the neighborhood is on lockdown. some of the city's transport services have been closed as a precautionary measure. this comes a year to the day the attacks at the french magazine "charlie hebdo" and attack on a jewish supermarket two days later that left 17 people dead. police say today's incident is

criminal act. >> charlie, thank you so much. the first votes in iowa will be cast in 25 days. a dispute between the two top republican candidates is heating up. donald trump says questions over ted cruz's citizen ship could put questions. >> a child of a u.s. citizen born aborder road is a natural born citizen. people will continue to make political noise about it, but as a legal matter, it's quite straightforward. >> donald trump is asking what he did to ted cruz what he did to president obama. the republican front-runner consistently questioned the president's birth place. >> i mean, i have my own theory on obama and someday i'll write a book and do another book and it will be very successful. ted, he should ask for a declaratory judgment because that would clear it all up and i'm doing this for the good of

me. we have a good relationship. >> ted cruz may be saying, please don't do me any favors. white house press secretary john earnest said iron if voters chose a president who was not born in the united states. john dickerson, "face the nation" moderator, is in washington. good morning. >> good morning. >> what does donald trump think he is doing and accomplishing here? >> he is just doing this for the good of ted cruz! >> that's right. >> he mentioned this once before during this summer about the question of ted cruz's birth place. i asked him about it a month ago and said will you bring it up again? he said only if he becomes in the final two. so, congratulations, senator cruz, you're in the final two. this is the prize. which means he is close enough to donald trump that donald trump wants to raise doubts about him, wants to create issues and he is usually a counterpuncher. in this case, he is going at cruz here without being provoked.

in and, john, do you think this was just mccain essentially taking the knife in donald trump's -- i mean, excuse me, cruz's back and twisting it a little bit. >> yeah. mccain, you never know which of those two he would go after. you're right. he is not a fan of ted cruz so he is happy in this case, you know, to pile on a little here. >> but, john, is there any evidence this will work and how does it work? >> here is the way it would work. there is no evidence there is a real burning question among conservatives about the citizenship requirements to the presidency. where these things work is if they are a stalking horse for some other set of concerns so people start to furrow their brow about this issue but ted cruz doesn't seem to have that problem among conservatives. if it were to grow into some bigger issue only because people would have some other concern they couldn't articulate outloud and use this as an excuse for it and he doesn't seem to have that problem.

he certainly is not taking the bait and making the jumping the shark reference. do you think this is a good strategy? >> he hasn't taken the bait on any of these needlings that donald trump has done. usually candidates have to respond, right? you don't want to be defined by your opponent. that is kind of in the playbook but he has done the opposite and ted cruz has stayed away. it's very interesting. because if he were to engage and make this a big back and forth fight, there is the view, among some, that it actually gives weight to and people start to hear the attack, the underlying attack, even if it's being debunked and start to believe the underlying attack even when it's been debunked. for right now, he is just going to stay away from these fights. >> what is the latest we have, quickly, on momentum in iowa? because it's so -- >> cruz has the momentum because

logically and a strong ground game. people say he is winning in a landslide but they are exciting set the expectation super high if he doesn't win in a landslide they will say, oh, well, poor ted cruz only won by ten points. >> john dickerson of "face the nation," he talks on sunday with chris christie, represent candidate, and paul ryan, the house speaker. that is sunday on cbs. adele is getting ready for her new world tour and posted a new photo showing she is getting ready by trying to get fit. like a lot of us, she is not so thrilled about the exercise. i get it. coming up, some tips on how we can all make the most of those

new thinking on recovering from concussions. the research that could lead to a major shift in how doctors treat teenage athletes with traumatic brain injuries. that is coming up next on "cbs

with the pain and swelling of my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordinary objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simp

concussions often go undiagnosed and unreported. but the national institutes of health estimates there are 300,000 sports-related sports traumatic brain injuries in this country every year. many of the victims are teenagers who are often eager to get back in the game p.m. jericka duncan is at the inwood academy gym in "the new york times" so show us how ways doctors are using ways to speed up the recovery. >> reporter: good morning. the basketball court is one of the place where doctors have seen an increase in concussions among young people. at the moment, no specific treatment for concussions, but researchers at the university of buffalo are looking into weather prescribing exercise might just be that magic pill. at the jacobs school of medicine and biomedical science is, dr. john levy examined 16-year-old cameron sullivan for concussion symptoms. in early december the high

concussion, her first, playing basketball. >> i was going to take a charge and a girl went up for the layup and pushed as she went, and i fell back and slammed my head against the ground. >> does that hurt? >> no. >> reporter: leddy examined cameron and invited her to join a new clinical trial on acute concussions among teens 13 to 17, the age group that takes the longest to recover. >> can you go a little faster? >> yep. >> reporter: unlike most, those taking part in the trial are prescribed exercise days after the concussion instead of just rest. >> one study we showed that the exercise actually changed their brain from abnormal to normal. >> reporter: it changes their brain? >> changed the blood flow in the brain to abnormal to a normal pattern we saw with healthy people. >> reporter: cameron walked on a treadmill every day at a gentle pace while monitoring her heart rate. how could this be a game-changer? >> we don't have any treatment

no pill you can take. really all you can do is wait until the symptoms go away. >> reporter: but in this case? >> in this case, we are hoping that by engaging the beneficial effects of exercise and the physiology of the brain this will actually speed recovery in kids with acute concussion. >> reporter: a concussion occurs when a blow to the head causes the brain to move inside the skull, that can change the way the brain functions. >> you see the spinal cord coming up into the brain stem. >> reporter: an mri or cat scan typically doesn't reveal evidence of a concussion. and teen concussions often happen as a result of athletic activity. >> the power of this study is that it's in young athletes. >> reporter: pediatric neurologist of u.s. presbyterian and cornell medicine is eager to do the study's results. >> we have guidelines and try to get them going faster and everybody can benefit as long as it's done in a controlled way.

goalkeeper julio whipple was the first to enroll and successfully complete the trial. in september, she collided head-on with an opponent. as an athlete, was it hard to not want to push yourself a little bit more than you should? >> it was extremely hard. i'm used to doing work jous with outs with my team and walking around every night with a specific pace was hard because i knew i wanted to go faster. >> reporter: dr. leddy says that is the biggest challenge. >> the risk is that someone who is doing this approach could do it too aggressively. that is possible. >> reporter: has that happened yet? >> it's happened in some of my patients. but they learn pretty quickly that they can't really push it too far because they get symptoms. >> reporter: julia's mother says she is glad to see her daughter is healthy and hopeful this new study will make athletes safely compete again easement a lot of

the more information you have, the better. they are just kids. >> reporter: now dr. leddy was adamant if you suffer a concussion, you shouldn't go out and exercise. remember, this is a study that they are conducting and it will be at least another eight months to a year before the results come in. norah? >> thank you. that is important information. >> absolutely. >> we both shook at the same time, norah. that mom had the best point. the more information you have, the better it is. >> thank you. great reporting, jericka duncan. one new year's resolution you might want to put on hold. we will look at the best time of the year to join a gym. plus, how you can work out for free. that is next on "cbs this

i feel like i have more energy. it was hard at first, but now if i go a day without working out, i miss it. >> i'm proud of us, guys. first week is the hardest. we are over the hump. joining that gym was the best decision we ever made. >> we never went back to the gym again. >> yes! yeah. >> after a little of this. >> that's real. >> how i met your mother gang never returned to the gym and gyms are counting on you not to show up as well. that's right. health clup b memberships at all-time high more than 54 million in 2014 but the percentage of members who never

cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger it back at the table. good morning. >> good morning. >> if you look at the dynamics of this, the business model, they make sure that they sign up way more people than they have capacity for. >> absolutely. you know what? it makes sense because we are human beings and what do we do? we get say we are going to the gym new year's resolution and we sign up for the annual membership and project we will do that throughout the year. when most people blow it off after the first few weeks. the real issue is here you've got to be clear with yourself. how much are you going to use this gym? does that annual membership really make sense? maybe doing a monthly membership and testing it out for a few months is a better idea and then do the annual membership. >> monday is the busiest day? >> monday is the busiest day. january, of course, the busiest month. so if you have not signed that paper work yet, i would advise you to wait because in february, when the gym empties out, you might be able to get a better rate. -

best discounts in the dead of summer when everybody is hanging out outside. so you want to check around and try to get a deal that is good for you. >> can you get some rider to your contract is a says you can cancel at well? >> most of them can but it's if you look back and say how many times did i use the gym last year? you have to be realistic. people ended up spending $17 per class they did or $17 per gym appearance, right? you can buy many of these packs for ten bucks a spot and so the reality is with all of the extra exciting ways to go work out today, you may be better off skipping that annual membership. >> and paying per class. how can technology help us in this regard? >> i think this is huge, because, obviously, there is an entire industry that is actually built on us saying we want to be better fit people, right? so fitbit just introduced their

we also have a lot of social communities that are built around sharing your information. we know that people who share their information about working out and weight loss tend to do better than those who don't. that is kind of a cool one. yeah. and the other thing that is really interesting about technology is there are all of these new services that allow you to stream. so you may be able to just go to a youtube channel called be fit and for free! work out in your home! how cool is that? >> i really like that. >> except one little problem. >> what? >> you still have to do it and that means you have to get up off of your touche. >> i like the advice you gave sign up for monthly. i didn't know you could do that. all morning we have been teasing for going for free. how do you do that? >> a lot of gyms will offer a try before you buy week. so you get to do a week. this is great. you go one for a week and next a week and another for a week. one of our producers here says she likes to that the first couple of months of winter and then she can throw owner sneakers on and run outside when it's springtime. look around and check your

>> is this a good thing? >> it means happiness begins a little bit sooner. >> leonardo dicaprio is generating buzz this morning for his role in "revenant." he plays a capture man brutally mauled by a bear. i spoke with the director for my pbs program. dicaprio describes it as his most physically challenging role ever. this is what you said. i decided to embark on what i would characterize as more of a chapter of my life than a film commitment. >> yeah. absolutely. and i think it was that for a lot of us. absolutely. >> a chapter of your life? >> yeah. >> did you come out of this experience with a different sense of how you and what was important? >> yeah. i mean, we looked at this -- all

nine months in subzero temperatures in calgary, far off locations. we looked at this as a grand sort of artistic experiment. we have never been a part of something like this. we rehearsed meticulously all day long to pull off some very crucial and hard-to-do shots and hour and a half of live shots and natural theater and this propensity that we needed to keep up with. but worse than that was for all of us, it was just about allowing ourselves to put our trust in somebody else's unique process, and that is what this was for us as actors, because a lot of this was thought about beforehand in great detail, but we needed to give ourselves over completely to something entirely new, and, you know, it created a great camaraderie between the entire cast and crew and director. >> but also the most demanding

had as an actor? >> well -- >> by nature or physical? >> by nature of doing a movie, yeah. this was certainly the toughest film i've ever been a part of. >> the interesting thing about the performance, your performance is that you probably have said less in this movie. >> yeah. >> than most other movies you've done. >> right. >> i mean, it is about expression. it is about pain. it is about all of the things that you do with your eyes and your body. >> i thought what was interesting for me for an actor from the onset is how to push a narrative along without words. that is what was attractive, i think, from the onset. it became about something different. when you're there, he set up a landscape for us so incredibly authentic. the people around us, the costumes, the actual locations that we were in, you do so much preparation beforeland learning about the time period and

you know, meeting men that were nostalgic about this period and look at the mountain man as almost a spirituality. once you get there and you're put in these conditions, it's just about trust and it's about trusting the director you're working with, and saying, you know, how are we going to persevere? what do we do day-to-day and you just rely on instinct as an actor and all that stuff, all of that preparation, all of the things you thought about sort of dissolve away, and that is what this experience, i think, was for the entire cast, was, you know, a trust in -- within one another we are going to do something, you know, completely different sin mat cinematically. >> everybody agrees he is a good arc. >> uh-huh. >> uh-huh. >> i don't know. gayle, you've seen the movie. >> i love this movie. loved it. i think he is going to win the oscar. he is very good good looking. that is part of the appeal but he is very good at what he does.

when you sit and talk to him about his acting and how he feels about the environment, something about him that is extremely likeable. you like good, smart, good looking guys who are talent. my prediction right now he is going to win the oscar this year, finally. >> smart, good looking and talented. >> there is no downside. >> we can all wish, can't we? >> that's right. you can see more of my interview with leonardo dicaprio tonight on my pbs program. no winners last night powerball drawing. it now sets at $675 million. time is worth more than money. our dr. holly phillips is with us again. holly, good morning. >> good morning. >> they weren't setting $650 million in front of you. i think we would think that

>> make you very happy. >> i don't think it will dissuade anyone to play the next time. >> how do we value time and money affect our happiness? >> this is a really interesting study. right? so researchers did six separate studies on more than 4,000 people. some of them asked specific questions like, would you choose an apartment that is more expensive but requires a longer commute to work? or an apartment that is less expensive with a very short commute to work? and they did all of these exercises to figure out who values their time more than money and who value their money more than time. now out of all of these people they looked at, about a 50/50 split. some valued time and some valued money. the people who valued their time most recorded the greatest amount of happiness. a small difference but still statistically significant. >> doesn't it matter where are you in life? when i was younger and given the choice between vacation or pay, i always took pay. now that you're older and a little bit more financially secure, if you asked me the same question, i would definitely take the vacation. >> absolutely.

what is interesting here is things like gender, income, marital status. those didn't seem to change whether or not you valued money or age. age did. older people were much more likely to save. they would choose time over money. >> what is older, holly? >> but, gayle, what is interesting is this may change. millennials are more than ever demanding a better work life balance. >> that's good. >> they would choose happiness and they would choose flexible work hours even over talks of pay and money. >> i think you need to have a great thing that occupies your passion. at the same time, you need to have loving and supportive people around you. >> absolutely. charlie, one other things that they found here is people who value their time make choices around that. they choose jobs that may give them more flexible work hours but they also may at that time time to choose jobs that they love.

enjoyable time. >> not necessarily. but there is a huge body of research which shows experiences bring us more happiness, longer lasting happiness, than material things. counterintuitive. >> experience, right. spend your money on a vacation, it's a little counterintuitive. you spend your money on vacation after a week, it's over and done with. a couch will last longer but it happiness. >> go for the vacation rather than the new piece of furniture. >> i get it. i totally get it. thank you, dr. holly. snow lovers in the northeast, winter did not come soon enough. i'm don dahler. the warm weather has kept the ski industry on the east coast pretty much in hibernation. now that it's gotten colder, the a good way! that is coming up on "cbs this morning"! >> look at that don dahler!

december's record warmth in the northeast wasn't welcome by everyone. that is especially true if you like to do anything in the snow. but a colder january is finally helping the east coast ski season get under way. don dahler is in the pennsylvania poconos on shawnee mountain which opened to skiers

>> reporter: good morning. these are the days i really hate my job! shawnee mountain was absolutely covered with snow by thanksgiving the past two years. but now, because of this heat wave that we have been going through in december, they had a hard time getting people on the slopes until january. now, though, it got cold and skiers are rejoicing. for this group of joyful skiers, january 6th as the best day of the year. that is because snow has finally arrived on the poconos shawnee mountain. well, not real snow. but a machine-made blend of water and compressed air that is now covering a third of the slopes, thanks to frigid temperatures. >> we are anxious to get this season started. it's, you know, it's a tough go this year. >> reporter: jim todd is a magazining partner at the shawnee mountain ski area. in his 35-year career here there hasn't been a season quite like this. >> tourism is the most important

>> reporter: but from a cabin named hope, he looked towards the brighter and colder future this winter and his machines could deliver. does it feel good to look out and see the big machines blowing snow? >> it's terrific. i live close by so i can hear them at night and listen to that hum. i know when it's just from experience when it's really making some good snow. we are optimistic. three-quarters of the season lies ahead so we are looking forward to a good january and february. >> reporter: but december disappointed just about every ski resort in the northeast, where the number of usable trails is still only 43%. compared that to the 99% that ski is skiable out west. this is footage of my family skiing in wyoming a few weeks ago where the snow was over 11 feet deep. can you blame this boom or bust pattern which kept temperatures high and dry in the east. how long have you been coming here?

my kids and my grandkids learned here to ski. >> reporter: douglas has concede shawnee since it first opened in 1975. he has never waited so long to get on the mountain. been a slow start this year? >> a pathetic slow start. >> reporter: this late season freeze hasn't held up those eager to hit the slopes but never every local business connected to the ski economy. >> right now, it's not at all as close to what it was last year. >> reporter: nicolette laboy works here where sales have not only stalled, they have dropped 75% compared to a year ago. and for those resort employees as seasonal as the snow, it's been no vacation. >> the past few years, we have opened black friday. so to open this late is not typical. >> reporter: nicole fox is shawnee's more than 150 seasonal

month without pay. what is it like for you when you haven't gotten that phone call and end of january comes around? >> what it's like for me, it's just hard. i'm not used to starting this late in the season. it's hard. you know, there is bills to be paid. >> reporter: that is the one that hurts the most. >> having to tell people, gee, we just don't have work yet. >> reporter: in winter's long awaited arrival, jim sees an opportunity for crowds looking to make up for lost time. calling in sick to school? >> i hope! that is okay! take a snow day. all right with me! >> reporter: a lot of online -- excuse me. a lot of resorts are offering online incentives to convince people even though it hasn't been snowing, it doesn't mean you can't come skiing. gayle? >> at least they figured out a way that people can do that. >> great story, don. >> nice assignment, don. >> i'll say. you're watching "cbs this
