desk and has the morning rundown. >> good morning, the big story a deadly bombing at one of europe's most popular tourist destinations. at least ten people have been killed after an explosion ripped through an historic area of istanbul, turkey, not far from the iconic blue mosque. most of the victims are foreigners. government officials have identified the suicide bomber as a 28-year-old syrian national. back at home hillary clinton is breaking ranks with president obama on immigration. clinton's reaction was at first reserved when the obama administration began rounding up illegal immigrants for deportation. but she came out against the raids last night during a forum in iowa and bernie sanders immediately denounced those raid has they first began. well, donald trump took another jab at hillary clinton last night asking how she could be in such a close race with bernie sanders who isn't even a democrat? trump claimed he, quote, hasn't even started going after clinton. for now trump has his own challenge in iowa where polls show him neck and neck with ted cruz.

have filed a motion to dismiss the indecent assault charges against him in pennsylvania. they claim the prosecutor is violating a ten-year-old agreement not to bring criminal charges against cosby if he testified in the civil case involving the same accuser. cosby is due in court again early next month. and in medical news new doubts about the effectiveness of multivitamins. a study finds one out of three multi multivitamins fail to live up to the claims on their labels and while some of the supments were lacking in nutritional content others exceeded the levels tolerable for the body. a new warning from the american heart association. it says drinking just one sugary soft drink each day can add to your belly fat even if it doesn't increase your overall weight. that fat is the most dangerous because it wraps around internal organs and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. and finally imagine parking your car without even being in the driver's seat.

a software upgreat now allows tesla cars to park and unpark themselves not only can the car pull itself into your garage at the push of a button it can also parallel park by itself and perhaps the best part, it can drive right up to you in a parking lot. kind of like a valet parking without having to tip the valet. the future is here, robin. >> it is, thank you, amy. i know you have a lot of interest in the next story, as well, because there is a big headline about mammogram recommendation recommendations. new advice from a major group of experts that could affect when women in their 40s begin getting screened. we have dr. jen ashton here to explain. so, what is different today? >> so, robin, we're seeing the final guideline, this is just by one group. trust me there are other groups and they will be weighing in again but the big change here from the u.s. preventive service task force is really a softening up for recommendations in their 40s. what they're saying for women with average risks start screening at 50.

screening really isn't recommended for most women over the age of 74. this is exactly what they said in 2009. the difference here is more woman's choice in the 40 to 49-year-old age group and shared decision-making between that woman and her health care provider or doctor. >> every woman has to make the decision best for her. men are diagnosed with breast cancer, as well. >> absolutely. >> can you understand the frustration that why can't the experts be in agreement? >> absolutely. and i share that frustrate as a woman and as a physician but this is a very complex issue because there are a lot of specialists that teed to weigh in here. and there are not just medical and scientific issues but there are ethical and social and political and economic issues and the goal here is trying to find that sweet spot, robin, between risk and benefit and not just in saving lives but in improving women's quality of life, as well. >> how about health insurance coverage and the mammogram -- this new guideline?

only time will tell. i will tell you ironically women who have insurance because i have patients with insurance and without insurance often have less choice in making decisions about whether or not something will be covered. the one issue here is that congress did pass a bill with a rider that extendsds coverage through the year 2017. what happens after that we'll have to wait and see. >> give us your bottom line. >> i'm a board certified ob/gyn and follow the recommendations start at 40 but what i worry about this term average risk because we know the majority of breast cancer is diagnosed in women who were average until they get that phone call. so while it's important to crunch numbers and analyze statistics, there are actual women's lives that i am responsible for and that will always come first for me. >> i know it will, jen. thank you so much. you know, once again people will pepper you with questions and you'll be on twitter and take your questions throughout the morning, you can tweet her @

couple and it'll take them some time to accept blake and gwen as a couple. >> and no matter what happens this year we all know when the drama of heartbreak comes fantastic songs and blake shelton starts his concert tour next month and gwen tweeting out a few days ago, #,writing a song about a cowboy. >> good to see you. buying your groceries online and skipping the store is on the rise. sales expected to top more than $13 billion for 2015. with so many companies fighting for your dollar, even big players like amazon are jumping in the online grocery game. we wanted to see how their price prices stack up this morning and abc's rebecca jarvis has your price check. >> reporter: it's breakfast time at my house and the deliveries are coming in. >> thank you. >> to see how different online grocery services stack up we placed orders for the exact same

different companies at the exact same time. peapod, fresh direct, amazon fresh, the market leaders and start-up instacart. lisa lee freeman with me to break down our buys. can you really compare prices with these sites. >> you can very easily find out who's got the best deals. >> reporter: check it out. on this particular day we find four different prices for the same box of cheerios. amazon fresh, $3.54, peapod, $4.79. insta cart 5.49 and freshdirect, $5.99. a difference of more than $2 between the lowest and highest price and for these paper towels, a difference of nearly $4 between the lowest and highest price. on our particular shopping day, the prices on most of our choices at amazon fresh were generally the lowest and fresh direct's generally the highest.

on high-quality fresh food and solutions and offer approximately 500 grocery deals per week but with online grocery shopping you pay for more than just the cost of the items. with amazon you'll pay a $299 annual membership fee. now, that includes your prime, but you really got to think about whether you're going to use the service enough to make it worthwhile. >> reporter: while the other services don't require a membership like amazon, they do charge delivery fees. lisa also points out with online services, you may not be able to get the in-store sale price. instacart charged us $4.49 for this loaff of bread. when we checked in the store, the price was 2.99. instacart told us retailers may offer tosome promotions only in the store. freeman says to save money compare prices to your local grocery store and try a free trial of the service. that's what we did with amazon fresh.

lose themselves in the process. it's a story we first saw in "teen vogue." take a look. >> why do i bother telling you anything? >> reporter: sometimes teenage girls just need to be heard. >> you're ruining my life. >> reporter: but this morning, it's what they aren't saying that's getting the attention. camouflaging as it's known was coined by psychologist dr. joe an deke and featured in february's issue of "teen vogue." when young girls go to he can streeps changing or downplaying how they express themselves in order to fit in. >> it's specifically refers to when young women sort of shed some of their individuality, could be in their looks, behavior, word, actions so that they blend in more with their peers. >> reporter: an i iue many teen and tween girls are facing like 12-year-old amanda from pennsylvania. >> i wanted to say something and then i didn't say it because i felt like everyone was just going to judge me.

>> i found myself dumbing myself down, demoting my intelligence to fit in. >> reporter: over time someone who camouflages a lot can lose sight of their authentic self. >> reporter: now the two say instead of blending in they're working hard to stand out hopes others will do the same. >> today i'm confident, today i'm brave and just saying those things make youealize that you are confident, that you are brave. >> reporter: so here now with how you can help your teens, vanessa schenck founder of the tia girls club. we both said, we did it. it didn't have a name but i think it's a phenomenon that's been going on for a long time. how can parents tell if their daughters are camouflaging? >> well, camouflaging is exactly what it sounds like so it's hiding who you are to blend in with those around you. so if your daughter is doing anything that is out of character, you know, if she is -- >> if she's embarrassed to be smart.

walks into a classroom and takes the glasses off because none of her friends are wearing glasses or the friends that she wants to be friends with aren't wearing glasses and put them in her pocket and can't see the board. >> s that a minor example but a good thing for parents to keep a watch. so, what do you want to say to parents and what do you want to say to young girls or, you know, women out of college who still might be doing it? >> you know, everybody does it. to some extent but it's about keeping your voice alive and keeping your authentic self alive. and your self-esteem high so it's just really about being who you are. and being proud of that person. >> it's a bad habit. if you start to camouflage then and then how do -- where does the line separate from who i was and who i am? >> when you start to camouflage you have a loss of self-esteem and when you have a loss of self-esteem, you feel unworthy so a lot of things happen where, you know, you enter into

dating the wrong type of boys to eating disorders to cutting, so it's really important that you keep your self-esteem in a healthy place. >> i'm glad you put a name to it and we're talking about it. it is really important. >> yes. >> got to just embrace the person that we are. >>vanessa, thank you very much. they can out the issue.

children are on a quest for clarity and calmness and corporations like google, target and general mills are all bringing mindfulness to the workplace. so why all the hype? research proves it doesn't just relax you, it can physically change your brain for the better. >> there's this interesting and growing body of science which suggests that meditation can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, reduce the release of stress hormones in your brain. >> reporter: dan harris wrote a book about it. everybody's life is a mix of good and bad and what meditation has helped me do and i think can it help a lot of people do is be more appreciative of the good and less overwhelmed with the bad. >> reporter: so i got to thinking about my own journey with meditation and caught up with my teacher bob roth. the first time i remember doing it with you, oh, i felt the full experience. the colors and i'm like, oh, my

then you send me on my way and i'm doing it at home and it's not working or i feel it's not working. come back to you for a refresher and i'll never forget what you shared with me to help me understand, share that with us now. >> it's a beautiful thing. a physicist in india who caught me to teach i was one time with a reporter and the reporter said, some meditations are more on the surface and some meditations seem deeper. are the deeper ones better, he said, no, they're both equally good and the reporter said how is that possible. ma ha-- there's no perfect meditation. it is what it is and sometimes we setete and sometimes we're more on the surface but we get wet. >> i have found i am more aware of those stressful moments that are still going to happen even after meditation, but my reaction to them, i recognize them and i just am at a peaceful state. >> what was your worry or what

>> i think like a lot of people, bob, that i'm not going to be able to do it. i can't quiet my mind of the you said to me, of course, you can't. >> nobody can. >> once you say that and you realize recognize the thought and push it out and if it comes back in -- >> let it go. >> right. >> let it go. yes. i feel so at peace right now and part because guru meditator deepak chopra, he is here with us in our studio, sam. he has a new book out called "super genes" and a man who many see as the first to introduce them to meditating. deepak, thanks for being here. you know there are so many people that just say, you know, it's elusive, i can't do this. how do you make them understand can? >> as we show in "super genes" meditations changes the gene expression.

you see a 40% increase in the enzyme call enzyme that is an anti-aging enzyme. all those that are responsible for healing go up sometimes 17-fold. all the genes responsible for inflammation go down, inflammation is associated with many diseases. this is at the genetic level but besides that, it helps you sleep better, improves your relationships, gets rid of stress. >> anti-aging just did it for me. i'll see you t torrow. so, but most people when they hear your name they think of you as being this guru but take us back to a time before this and then tell me how that changed your life. >> well, i'm 69 now and never been sick, taken medication, been in the hospital but when i was 30 i was a burned out

i was smoking cigarettes, occasionally getting sloshed and totally stressed and stressing out my patients. when i started meditation i started to lose my cravings and i settled down and i decided i was going to teach it. >> and you have and you've been teaching today. you've been live streaming on our facebook page and we have some questions for you. kelsey, do you have a question? >> yeah, so i was meditating earlier this morning. such a beautiful experience. my question for you is how do i quiet all the thoughts that come into my mind from my daily stress that's going on? >> okay, so you don't, okay. you don't worry about that because trying to quiet the thought is a thought in itself. now, we think as long as we are alive if you're not thinking, you're either comatose or dead so you don't try to get rid of thoughts. meditation is two aspects to it. the inward stroke where you go in the direction of your inner being and the outward stroke which is thought and bopping up

>> do we have a quick question? >> yes, i really enjoy meditating but i'm such a busy person. what's the best time and place and should you be sitting or lying down? >> sitting is best, if you're lying down you might fall asleep which means you need sleep anyway. but any time is good. any time. anywhere. even in a bus or a train or a plane. >> i have found that on a plane you don't have to be in a certain position. you don't have to -- >> just be comfortable. >> where is jennifer? you've been meditating for quite some time and have a question. >> so i do love meditation and i've been doing it for awhile but sometimes wonder what's next. what would i do? >> let me ask you a question. are you aware? >> i think so. i am. >> who did you consult? >> who did i consult? >> okay. so now i'm going to ask you the same question. i'm going to ask everybody the same question don't say yes. just wait till i do this and

are you aware? >> yes. >> so the question are you aware is a thought. the answer yes is a thought. in between is your inner being awareness so now i'll ask the same question are you aware, don't answer. just settle into being. are you aware. you feel presence? that's you. >> yes. >> i really felt -- >> you can live here. you don't have to live anywhere else in the center of your being and then no matter what the situation is, no matter how chaotic the world is you never lose your peace. you are equanimity. you're grounded here. so try and live here. >> try to live here. those are words to live by. >> in the presence of your being. >> deepak, thank you very much. thank you for livestreaming and helping our viewers at home and here. >> it's been a joy.

me having sam filling in this week for ginger. another check of the weather. >> it's been nice here. show you what's going on. one or two things we wanted to point out this morning. i know it's hard to get -- it's hard to get that rhythm up after this because they'll say wrap in 20 seconds. i know, i'm peaceful. here's who is getting snow, chicagoland, you're done but now it starts to move in. icy road, louisville, cleveland, 123459ty. icy in these areas. this is a big town, big-time snow for eerie, you're getting it as well, quick look at the nation resettling in the cold air for the eastern half. happens today. real big push. tomorrow morning even into the deep south again. then another one by the time we get into the weekend, out west, more situated a little to the northern area, so you're talking a little more seattle, a little portland, medford, but i would not be surprised to see some coming up as far north as from
