federal employees to help carry out those background checks to make them more efficient and effective. here's where they are going to need some congressional approval. the president is asking, for example to add 200 more atf agents and investigators. it's asking congress to budget that. he is asking congress to get $500 million in additional funding for mental health treatment to try to offer services to deal with some of the recent episodes we've seen of terrible gun violence. soese going to have to go to congress for those t. rest of those are basically instructions to federal executive actions on how to carry out some of the existing laws. >> go ahead. >> what kind of liam, no, it's your birthday. what kind of legal talent. >> i will remember. jan, what kind of legal challenges does he face? yesterday. he says, this is within my legal authority. >> reporter: opponents will argue he is doing an unconstitutional end run around congress.

president faithfully executes them. they will say this raises all separation of power issues. it raises issues under the second maemt. the president is confident he will prevail. think about this he has a year left in office. lawsuits take forerer. so this could be tied up in court to the end of his administration, meaning they will never be implementing these proposals, unless the next president decides to pick up the ball and run with it. >> i assume it's true for the president. he believe it's notust those cases, those awful scene cases of multiple acts of violence, but also individual acts of guns. >> well, right. that's right, charlie. no one says these would have prevented san bernardino or sandy hook t. president says if they can stop one death, it will be worth it. >> jan, thank you so much. for the first time in this presidential race, hillary clinton's campaign brought bill

>> how can we reverse aging? >> it's an amazing story. in 1950 the only paper published. she was kicked out. she took an old rat and young rat and put them to sleep. put the skin toke. after a day the blood supply joined. the old mouse had nurn newer nurns neurons. people called her dracula. three separate labs in san francisco repeated it. it worked. so it turns out there are proteins in young individuals up to age 25 that turn on stem cells. our stem cells go to sleep at age 25 some what's amazing is the cure for diseases, it itemly the is asleep within us. this is a way to potentially wake it up. >> i'm going to latch on to young people i'm thinking. yeah.

>> the lucky years, too, in staying healthy also means preventing a disease, i did a story on gene editing technology. tell us the proms they holds. >> it's wild. we can with this enzyme take one letter of your 3 billion letter code and change it. if you inherited a defect in breast cancer or something else, we can go in and change that one letter. so now it's happened in china. they actually changed the dna of an embryo. at the same time we need to regulate it. do it right. this has the potential of being transformative. something as wild as science fiction like, you take an organ from an animal and change the dna to allow it to be used in humans for transplants. these are fought far off. >> how far off are they? >> these are happening now. >> animal organs. >> we are designing pigs to have

using that for kidney transplantsz will happen. >> it's already happening though with heart valves. >> no question, this is a living functioning organ. >> i thought it was interesting, you said there is never any right answers in health. there are always several right answer, never just one. system. this was a maturation system for wrong way. i learned it's the right way for you as an individual. we all shouldn't do everything the same. personalized medicine will be fantastic based on data. value e a key part in decisions. >> you said there is a brave new world in fertility coming. what is that? >> you inherit dna from your mother and father, those are your chrome soechlts you inherit dna in your mitochondria. a doctor in new jersey was taking out their nucleus and putting it into a donor egg.

can you the that now for a 40 or 50-year-old woman and allow them to give birth. changing the playing feel. this is a different world. people are giving birth later and later. this is a powerful transformative. >> mitochondria is a cell. >> you remember that. >> if you live near the airport, your change is greater. that's surprising. >> if you do concent trick circles around the airport, heart disease goes up. few live in the city, put foam in your ears when you sleep. i have a 150 pound dog that senators. ure brain needs that quiet. >> thank you, doctor. good to see you. very formidable. >> "the lucky years." >> thank you very much. >> as opposed to the yucky years. lucky years is a better title. goes on sale today. dr. day of the agus is getting ready to answer questions. tomorrow we'll continue our look

he beat the man and locked him in the truveng. he pulled an emergency release lever. the new york post says a surrogate mother in california filed a lawsuit to stop a forced abortion. she was carrying triplets for a georgia man. the man only wants to children and requested the third be aborated. that is allowed in tear contract. cook is about six months into her pregnancy. she claims in her lawsuit she is the legal mother of the triplets. >> the telegraph reveals the safest airline. for the third straight year, quantus, looked at several factors, including government audits and that saeltfatality rorts records. >> that make the top 20 are alaska able, american and united airlines. >> britain tells us about an overworked judge in italy. he's so busy, he had to postpone a civil hearing until 2019.

older case, he justified the delays saying his constitutional rights protect him from forced labor. the walk post reports one fish, get this, sold for more than $100,000 at auction. aa japanese sushi chain did ar $171,000 for this blue fin tuna. >> that works out to about $265 a pound. blue fin tuna are endangered due to overfishing. it was sold at the last new year auction at a historic fish market that will be torn down this year. extreme weather this morning continues to hit the united states. we've showed you earlier, the flooding overwhelming the mid-west and an arctic plast is finally chilling the northeast and california is preparing for a series of drenching storms. heavy rain is already falling this morning outside san francisco. jeffrey includinger is editor at large for "time" magazine and time.com. jeffrey, welcome back.

what is going on with all this weather? >> here's what's happening. we are already coming off of what's the hottest year on record 2015 and the hottest month in the hottest year, which was july some think of the earth as running a chronic fever. now, on top of that chronic fever comes the acute fever of el nino. which occurs when westerly winds that usually push warm pacific water over to the west side of the pacific weaken or reverse, ae louing that warm water to slosh back east. that tends to heat up the northern -- north american hemisphere. >> we're talking el 19io. nasa says the images could rival the one of 1997, 1998, that killed 23,000 people world wide. what does that mean for us? the big snow we're having in the mid-west? what else does it mean? >> the know in the mid-west t. droughts we are seeing in

imperiling 3.9 people with food and security and 10 million people in africa food and security. you seen the images with the flooding across mississippi. we're going to see extreme heat spikes over the summer. which will affect vulnerable population, older people, sickly people, very young people. so t ts could take a much bigger toll than in 1998. >> it was in the '70s on the east coast for christmas. the north pole is 50 degrees higher, they say. so is this the new normal? >> this is the new normal t. problem, i'm glad you brought up the north pole. because what happensnshen the people gets above freezing is obviously the arctic ice cap shrinks. ice caps reflect sunlight back into space. the smaller the arctic ice cap gets the more warmth that the dark waters can absorb, so you got sort ofof dangerous feedback. >> we haven't mentioned global warming. >> global warming is a real phenomenon.

scientists in these cases is they're not acknowledging every single weather event is linked to climate change. it certainly isn't. if are you a heavy smoker, not every cold will be smoke related. a lot are. you very much have to quit your pack a day if you want to stay healthy. >> given you look at science and a tough year weather wise with eknow, though, weather can affect national security. right? >> weather absolutely affects national security. any time you get food and security in any places of the world, you have a tendency for political unrest. the u.s. is no longer likes to say we're not going to be the policeman of the world any longer, still, people turn to us when you get this kind of problem. when the u.s. infrastructure is threatened the way it is along the mississippi the way it was in new orleans ten years ago, these are issues that divert funds, divert resources, that divert energy, affect shipping. all of these things go to the

>> so what can we do? >> well, what we can do, unfortunately, right now, has to do with a lot of short-term steps. you can make sure there are cooling centers for older people in the summer. can you make sure we have water cons vacation in drought stricken areas we have flood law, levies, in flood-prone areas. we also have to be willing to say it's time to address this in the long term. the paris climateccord was a very, very good sign. the u.s. as the world's leading emitter has to take the lead in curbing this problem. >> important information, thanks, jeff. >> thanks so much. olympic hurdleer and bobsleder lolo jones isight here in studio 57. on the road to a comeback in

we will look at how she always >> olympic track and field star, her name is lolo jones is one of ten american athletes to compete in both the summer and winter games, thank you very much. only 130 people world wide can make that claim. on that list, 25 women. now the hurdler and bobsledder is focused on the summer games in rio.

calls worst year behind her after two surgeries and several injuries. if she makes the u.s. team, it will be her fourth olympic appearance. lolo jones is with us in studio. first we will take a look at her long olympic roller coaster. for more than half her life, lolo jones has been clearing hurdles on and off the track t. photo genic olympian and iowa native is an 11-time all american. she began her racing career as a student at louisiana state university, where she won national titles in both sprint relays and the hurdles. >> it's a fair start. here's the first hurdle. >> reporter: in 2008, jones entered the beijing summer olympics as a gold medal favorite in the 100 meter hurdles. ahead of the pack, with gold in her grasp, she hit the second to last hurdle resulting in a 7th placed finish. >> best time going into the olympics. best time going out.

>> reporter: she was side lined in 2011 after spinal surgery. her quick recovery led to a spot on the 2012 summer games in london. an olympic medal still proved to be out of reach for the 4th place finish. in 2014 jones traded her track sneaker for a helmet and joined the u.s. bobsled team in sochi. the track star has yet to win an olympic medal. that has not stopped her from becoming one of team usa's favorite stars. >> this is really pretty. lolo, gorgeous. >> reporter: her magazine worthy good looks has secured deals with some of the biggest brands. with it,, criticism off whether she deserves the spotlight. jones continues to brush off critics. less than three months out of hip surgery, seven months before the summer olympics. she is working hard to find her stride. >> wow, lolo, wow. >> yeah.

lay it out for us where do you find the motivation to keep going? >> well, this last season, i had two surgery, a torn shoulder. then a torn hip later onch they were quick to come back. from i was like, man, like is this it or is this a sign to give up? or this a sign to get killed? >> what keeps you motivatete how are you doing? >> well, you laugh a lot. although i've placed success, i've tasted as well a lot of failure. i think for me knowing that, you know, you will not take joy in small victories, also how you enter. how your attitude is when you cross the finish line is how you enter your next race. if i get down on myself, that itself how i'm going to carry it into the next race. so every olympic i failed at. i have to look at the good side, winter olympic, i got to 11. i'm one of the ten people to go to winter olympics. when you are pursuing a goal.

make sure you had just your attitude. you don't want to try again and have that negativity when you attempt it. >> you are training for the olympics inryio. you turn 34 on opening day. >> why do they do that, awful? >> 34 is young, stronger than ever. >> strong. >> stronger than ever. how do you think you will train differently for this olympics than have you in past olympics? >> every year i have to remote rate is myself. track is essentially who can work out the best? there is no game involved. it's who is the best condition. so every year i try a different workout. pilates one year. yoga the next. i do a workout similar, involving science behind it. heart rara monitors. every year i try out something new. this one fit and worked well with the post-surgery that i feed. >> and you are a spokesman for them, too? >> yeah, i am a spokesman, i was

could have such a workout that can involve beginning level to eb up is getting fit. >> for track stars, is there some combination of hand-eye coordination for golfers and baseball hitters? >> not as much, you know, i think they're more specific. obviously, when i have a hurdle coming at me very fast, i have to have hand-eye coordination. there are not specific things in my dun time that focuses on that. we are concerned at going over a hurdle in high speed in a race environment. >> track stars have what? >> determination. >> they have to. >> our workouts are running. everybody hates rung. treadmill, like, yeah. so you know just to get through that day, what are you going to do for practice today? i'm going to run. what are you going to do tomorrow? i'm going to run. >> lolo, you have a lot of haters on the internet. people tear you down, she is very good looking.

they say, she ain't won no medals. >> i can show you my medals, i'll show you mine. really, somebody else in the room can do what you do? you do get a lot of criticism. how do you deal with that? you heard it? >> i can tell my staff i'm a three time world champion, i'm the fastest american indoor record holder. >> that means nothing to them. at the end of the day i have to know my opinion of what i've done in track is not altered by what they think of me. it comes by how hard i worked and what i've achieved. everybody will face criticism. you start a business,amily says, you can't do that. you have to say i can do that. take joy in the small things have you overcome. will you get where you are at. >> the first challenge is to make the team? >> the first c cllenge iso make theeam t. best feeling in my life, when i cross that finish line, no one can take that away. every american who has made it on the team and has the chance to represent their country in olympic, knows there is no

>> i can't imagine how good it is to walk in that stadium and hear that. with the flag flying. >> to know that people back home are watching you an supporting you. it's something that i always cherish. >> you have been candidate about being sell bat. can we discuss that? >> let's. i hope my husband is watching, my future husband is watching. >> you made that decision why? >> to honor my future husband and for god, it's i'm a devout krichlths i believe in that. i believe within growing up i saw a lot of girls my age get in trouble or justn the wrong environment and there are more girls than i would, they'd get pregnant and be off the track team. >> is it hard? >> is it hard? no, is it hard? >> not to be funny. >> it's extremely hard. >> tell her how hard it is.

>> did you have a boyfriends in. >> no. >> i got to fix you up with somebody. >> i'm going to be working on that today. but it is difficult. >> it's difficult because there is a lot of people that you tend to be grit with, but they don't want to wait. so that makes a lot of tension. so you see, you know, people are having fun. but you are doing this to honor your future spouse. >> lolo, what's your real name? >> my real flame is lori. >> we are rooting for you. great to have an olympian at the table? we hope you get married soon. enough of this pain.
