7:02 am
what mariah carey does, the crowd loves it. they were for the most part supportive. >> we are going to begin with that manhunt in turkey for the terrorists who killed at least 39 people celebrating new year's at a nightclub in istanbul. overnight isis claimed responsibility for the attack and officials warning americans to be on alert. >> reporter: overnight isis put out a statement claiming that the shooter is one of their soldiers as they call them. he is still at large. isis claimed that this attack was in response to turkish actions against them in syria, but also because this club is, quote, where christians celebrate their apost state poll day, meaning new year's. an urgent manhunt for this man, caught by surveillance cameras he he filed into istanbul's reina nightclub. just 75 minutes earlier, the scene was like so many new year's parties around the world.
7:03 am
around 600 revellers counting down, waving sparklers, cheers as the new year is ringing in. bullets ricochetted after the street as the shooter dressed in dark clothes fired an automatic weapon and rushed the door. in graphic video showing the man shooting at people at the entrance to the club before storming inside. there, the rampage lasted seven horrific minutes. the suspect, authorities believe, then changed clothes to blend in and slip away. this morning at least 39 people have been confirmed killed, including more than two dozen foreigners. dozens more were wounded, including 35-year-old american jake raak in istanbul on vacation, who was carried away on a stretcher after being shot in the leg. >> i don't know, i saw one person. they're shooting. >> reporter: his brother saying the bullet may have hit raak's cell phone and prevented and more serious injury.
7:04 am
several wnba players were celebrating next year. essence carson tweeting, stuck inside the club because of terror shooting in istanbul. later carson deleted the tweet and confirmed that she and two other teammates were safe. this shooting is just the latest in a string of deadly incidents to hit this country in the past few months. this new year is starting off with what many are calling a massacre, more of those killed in this attack are being laid to rest and the funerals today, most of them are muslims. robin? >> thank you. now to that bad weather moving in this new year. dozens of homes damaged in florida by high winds and now there are new warnings about tornados and flash flooding across the southeast. ginger is here and she's tracking that storm's path for us. >> robin, that was just the first storm. so a volatile start to the new year in parts of florida. you can see that tree ripped up there. look at this video where all those trees onto homes and cars. now we have another round of severe storms moving through. right now it's in texas between
7:05 am
dallas and austin. we've already seen an 82 mile per hour wind gust in dfw this morning, they had a ground stop thanks to rain and high winds. a large area, parts of floor again in the panhandle there and parts of alabama back into mississippi, louisiana, all in the enhanced risk, so you could see more damaging wind, even more tornados and some hail too as we go into the afternoon hours. flash flooding is the other threat, so george, flash flood potential anywhere kind of in that same region. look at central georgia atlanta to the north is what we're watching. >> they are going to get hit hard. thanks very much. we move now to the latest in the trump transition. less than three weeks from inauguration, the president-elect is promising to release new information on the election hacking that u.s. intelligence pins on russia. trump continues to question the findings saying he knows things others don't. mary bruce is at the white house with the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. after ringing in the new year at his annual florida bash the president-elect is back home in
7:06 am
new york where he's expected to receive a briefing from intelligence officials on the russian hacking. trump is still skeptical and this morning that cliffhanger, trump now promising there's more to come. a new year, a new pushback from donald trump. >> i know a lot about hacking and hacking is a very hard thing to prove so it could be somebody else. >> reporter: the president-elect still doubting u.s. intelligence and questioning if russia interfered in the u.s. election. >> i want them to be sure. i think it's unfair if they don't know. >> reporter: 17 u.s. intelligence agencies concluded russia was behind the hacking, but trump suggests there's more to the story. >> i also know things that other people don't know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation. >> what do you know that other people don't know? >> you'll find out on tuesday or wednesday. >> reporter: but on this week, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee told our jonathan karl the evidence is iron clad. >> it's very solid, indeed overwhelming. if he's going to have any credibility as president, he needs to stop talking this way.
7:07 am
>> reporter: president obama has already counter punched, closing two lavish russian diplomatic retreats in the u.s. and evicting dozens of russian diplomats and their families. almost 100 people in all. overnight their plane touching down in moscow. trump has said it's time to move on. >> i think we ought to get on with our lives. >> reporter: but now his team is questioning the white house's motivation and asking if the punishment fits the crime. >> there is a question about whether there's a political retribution here, whether it's -- versus a diplomatic response. >> reporter: even some republicans say it wasn't tough enough. >> we will be working for much tougher sanctions against russia. they attacked the united states of america. >> reporter: but trump says there's only one way for sure to protect from cyber attacks. >> write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, because i'll tell you what, no computer is safe. >> reporter: and now there are new concerns that the russians may have also been targeting the american electrical system, a code linked to the russians was found on a laptop associated
7:08 am
with a vermont utility. but there are no signs that the hackers penetrated the power grid itself. george? >> okay, mary, thanks. let's get more on the intelligence and the politics from our analyst, steve ganyard and matthew dowd. steve, you spent a lot of time dealing with national security and intelligence when you were in the government. first let's talk about this new threat to the electric grid. no signs that it actually penetrated the grid in vermont but this is a serious threat. >> it is a serious threat for all of the infrastructure around the u.s. and around the world, george, for things like power supply and things like that. but what we saw in vermont, there were definitely russian fingerprints on that, but one of the interesting things about malware is it's becoming kmod tied. you can actually buy it in the dark resays of the internet, so it could have been russia, china, north korea, iran. i think what's going to happen here is that the intelligence community is not going to release the sources and methods that allow them to draw conclusions that it was
7:09 am
definitely russian. >> we could get the new report, the full report on russian involvement as early as this week. you see donald trump is questioning the intelligence. based on your experience, how solid is it? >> again, it's hard to say what the white house released about last week was not conclusive. it didn't show intent. it was very thin on details. so there's a push/pull going on within the intelligence community right now about how much to release. until we get more definitive detail we're not going to be able to make that determination. >> you heard from donald trump over the weekend saying he knows things that others don't. he's continued to question this intelligence and praised vladimir putin for withholding any response to the u.s. sanctions and actions that president obama took last week. he's playing a tricky game here because he's going to face pressure from republicans to respond to putin as well. >> well yeah. he sounds a little like that "saturday night live" character john love its played where he says something and he says, yeah, that's the ticket.
7:10 am
he makes up stuff and then later on doesn't prove it. i think the fascinating thing about this is for years republicans have said barack obama did not respond strong enough to russia. now as of yesterday the republican response or at least donald trump's response i should say is that he responded too overwhelmingly which is an amazing situation after russia it looks like committed an act of cyber war and undermined one of the most fundamental principles of our country which is our democratic election. >> so the question will be, does he change his tune after getting the intelligence briefing later this week? >> well, i think that's a really good question, and the other thing donald trump has to realize is somebody needs to tell him, as he said don't use computers, use courier. i don't know if he wants to go back to the pony express. this is a computer that donald trump is on every day sending messages to the american public, so somebody might want to tell donald trump that what he holds in his hand is also a computer. >> thanks very much. we move on now to a deadly
7:11 am
mid-air accident. two planes colliding over texas on new year's eve killing at least three people. an investigation is now under way. abc's ryan smith is here with details. good morning, ryan. >> good morning, robin. overnight the ntsb investigating this hair rowing crash so violent people forced to take cover as debris fell from the sky. a terrifying mid-air crash. cell phone video capturing flames and a dark plume of smoke as one plane crashed into a storage unit. the other into this busy shopping center parking lot. >> it looked like they were doing acrobatic maneuvers. >> reporter: two of the three victims identified. gregory barber, a retired air force kernel, and his 18-year-old son tim. moments after he took off and into his first turn, a plane struck his tail. >> one of the planes slid into
7:12 am
the other one. >> this scene so tough to watch, you can hear someone in this video telling a little girl to close her eyes. >> honey, i understand, but just close your eyes. >> reporter: charles drexler saw the crash, capturing this video moments later. >> they hit so hard. you can tell they were going really fast and there was a big explosion. >> reporter: the faa confirming both pilots were operating under visual flight rules, meaning visibility must be several miles so pilots can see potential issues and avoid them. >> you heard a loud crashing bang and one of them came pretty much straight down. the other one had a little control but he was coming down. there was no stopping him. >> reporter: the barbers respected in their community. 18-year-old son tim barber just recently entering air force academy. ntsb investigators are expected on the ground today. >> breaks your heart. ryan, thank you very much. amy has this morning's other top story starting with new details in another air tragedy.
7:13 am
there are new clues in the search for a private jet that vanished with a family on board. police are investigating a bag that might be from the plane that disappeared over lake erie over cleveland. there have been multiple reports of debris washing ashore. six people were on the plane. breaking overnight, another deadly suicide blast in iraq this morning. a bomber in a pick-up truck packed with explosives targeting a market in baghdad killing at least 18 people. this follows two other attacks that left near 40 dead. suicide bombers may be to blame for two big explosions that rocked the somalian capital this morning. one blast damaged a hotel frequented by foreigners, and the other hit a security check point, killing at least three people. chicago has unveiled a new crime-fighting strategy after a record rise in violence. the city ended 2016 with nearly 800 homicides. that is the most in 20 years,
7:14 am
and more than new york and los angeles combined. l.a. police are looking for the man who changed the iconic hollywood sign early new year's morning to read, as you see there, hollyweed. it was seen in surveillance video. the sign was quickly fixed but not before everyone got pictures for instagram. that's where i saw it this weekend. finally, three families are celebrating orn twins, but here's the catch. they were born in separate years. in san diego two girls were born four minutes apart on either side of midnight. james came in at 11: 59. his brother at 12:01. in glendale baby shay arrived at 11:51. his brother everett followed at one past midnight. so the twins will share just about everything except the year they were boorn. >> that's a bonus. they get separate birthdays. >> i agree.
7:15 am
>> good way to start the year. to that new year's eve performance getting so much for what went wrong. there you see mariah carey. we're learning about what happened when she took the stage here in times square. t.j. holmes here with all the details. >> good morning to you. this is one of those things you couldn't turn aaway from for all the wrong reasons. one of the most successful singers in history appeared to be unable or unwilling to sing. mariah carey blames an equipment problem. the production team says there was a problem, it was mariah carey. mariah's new year's eve disaster began just seconds into her hit "emotions." ♪ >> all right. we didn't have a check for this song, so we'll just say, it went to number one and that's what it
7:16 am
is. >> reporter: while her vocals played in the background, the pop princess strolled up and down the stage not singing as music continued and as 11 million people watched at home. >> we didn't have a sound check but it's new year's, baby. it's okay, you guys. all right, just for laughs, the lift. i want a holiday, too. can i not have one? i'm trying to be a good sport here. ♪ that was -- amazing. >> reporter: her next tune "we belong together" seemed to get off to a better start, but then as the vocals played, she put the mic down. ♪ finally after six minutes, mariah walked off. >> yes!
7:17 am
and -- it just don't get any better. >> reporter: but the fallout was just beginning. mariah carey's people accused dick clark productions which produces abc's new year's rockin' eve of sabotaging her performance. her representative says her ear piece wasn't working and the pop star was set up to fail. dick clark products responded, as the premiere producer of the live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation. to suggest we would intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and absurd. mariah seemed to be taking it in stride. she posted this of herself shrugging and saying blank happens. here's to making more headlines in 2017. we might never know whose fault it was for the technical issue but to the audience who doesn't
7:18 am
understand, i was listening to you guys, the audience can hear it but without this i'm blind. this is what happens to a singer. if she can't hear her music, she doesn't know what pitch to be in. she was blind. >> even though the music is blaring -- >> she can hear the crowd. >> there's crowd noise and feedback with those huge speakers and she doesn't know where she is in the song. >> kudos to her dancers. >> they kept going. >> and she did make a lot of headlines. >> no such thing as bad publicity, right? >> she has a show, y'all know. >> don't call it a reality show. she checked ryan seacrest. >> you checked me real fast. happy 2017, robin. just like last year. >> let's go back to ginger. a quick look at the winter careful if you're driving anywhere in the pink or purple. let's get to the select cities brought to you by macy's. >> reporter: good morning

7:21 am
if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. that trop50 could taste so good and still have 50% fewer calories. can i stop, jane? no. trop50. tastes so good you won't believe it has 50% fewer calories.

7:31 am
vacation. donald trump back in trump tower after spending the days in mar-a-lago. we're 18 days away from the inauguration. gio benitez is outside in times square with our crowd and getting ready to reveal the best touch screen gloves for the winter. which ones work on tablets and phones in cold temperatures? >> that is coming up. we begin with that new twist for kennedy cousin michael skakel who may be heading back on murder charges following the killing of his neighbor amy. you have new details on why the court is reinstating his conviction. >> he spent ten years behind bars for the murder of martha moxley. now he is facing this new court ruling, just the latest wrinkle in a four decade long saga. this morning, kennedy cousin michael skakel is once again a convicted murderer. the connecticut supreme court reinstating his conviction for the 1975 murder of martha moxley, skakel's 15-year-old
7:32 am
neighbor who found dead, brutally beaten with a golf club belonging to the skakel family. he was sentenced to 20 years to life in 2002. after serving over ten years in prison, a judge threw out that conviction in 2013. >> i'm going to set a bond of $1 million. >> reporter: ruling that skakel's original defense attorney, mickey sherman, botched his defense, a finding the state supreme court now disagrees with. >> of course i feel vindicated. i always knew that i did a decent job. >> reporter: one of skakel's strongest advocates, his cousin, robert kennedy junior. >> he didn't get a fair trial and he's not guilty. >> reporter: skakel as always maintained his innocence. >> what i do every day is pray to god and to martha that whoever did this crime is brought to justice. >> reporter: but moxley's family says they believe the jury got it right in 2002. this morning her brother telling abc news, we are happy with the
7:33 am
decision and appreciative as always with the effort the state of connecticut has put into this. now skakel's current lawyer is hoping to keep his 56-year-old client out of prison while they consider whether to appeal again. >> michael skakel is a man of great faith and i think he'll use his spirituality to come pose himself in a way that makes him available to counsel and helpful to us in moving forward and deciding what our next steps are going to be. >> skakel has been living with an elderly relative in the suburb of new york since being released on that $1.2 million bond. >> let's talk to nancy grace. nancy, you've been covering this trial for a long time. we know skakel's new attorney is not going to give up keeping his out of prison. will he succeed? >> i think that temporarily he may succeed, but i don't think it will work in the end. and when i hear that skakel has always maintained his innocence, publicly yes, but according to
7:34 am
prosecutors, there may be up to 11 different confessions. most importantly, the handful that came in at the trial, including several that he made at a reform school after the murder, as well as to a driver, maybe even a barber. and that weighed very heavily on the juror's minds, so he hasn't necessarily always maintained his innocence. those so-called confessions go from saying i murdered her to i murdered her i'm going to get away with it because i'm a kennedy to i don't know what happened that night, maybe i did it. that's pretty damming evidence. >> when his conviction was overturned in 2013, a new trial was ordered but never happened. does this new ruling cancel any prospect of a new trial? >> no. i think that it's very possible this will go up on another appeal. in the end, i think that he will go back to jail.
7:35 am
there may not even be a new trial. and i think the defense is going to use every trick in the book, as they should. he has a right to every avenue under the law, but i can tell you this much, having tried so many cases i can't even count them, all of them felonies, the victim's mother, martha moxley is the victim, her mother dorothy wants justice. and having sat through every single proceeding, she is convinced that thomas skakel, the kennedy relative, is the killer. i cannot imagine why the victim's mother would want someone not guilty behind bars. i find that very probative, as did a jury. remember, a jury has heard this and voted guilty. >> amazing that this has been going on now for, what, almost 40 years, more than 40 years. >> it's crazy. >> what kind of toll does this take on the family? >> yeah, because this happened -- oh, can you even imagine? it's like it never ends.
7:36 am
this happened in 1975. martha moxley, then 15 years old, was found bludgeoned dead with a golf club from the skakel home, and somebody took the s off the golf club. they did not want it associated to the skakels. who else would care about that other than a skakel? she was found the next morning, and even then skakel, michael skakel said he lied because he thought he would be framed for murder. now, how would he know that at age 15 that he was going to be framed for murder? and not only that, he placed himself at the scene by blaming he master baited at the scene to maybe cover up any evidence there. that weighed against him and now all these years later back in court. >> nancy grace, thanks very much. now to a new lawsuit involving facetime. a couple is suing apple saying their daughter was killed when a driver allegedly using facetime
7:37 am
ran into their car. abc news linsey davis is here with that story. good morning. >> good morning, robin. the little girl who died in that crash was just five years old. her parents believe she would still be alive today if apple implemented an iphone featured that would have automatically disabled facetime based on technology that calculate highway speeds. this morning apple is under fire after this fatal car crash in dallas. the family of 5-year-old moriah mo modisette is suing the tech giant. the driver, gare education wilhelm, was using the apple app when he crashed into the modisette's car in 2014. wilhelm is charged with manslaughter. >> apple knew better and did not do better. >> reporter: modisette's attorneys claim apple had the technology to lock out the ability of drivers to utilize the facetime application on the
7:38 am
iphone while driving a motor vehicle but did not install it and never warned users of the potential dangers. >> apple could have prevented the senseless death of this 5-year-old girl on christmas eve if this technology had been used. >> reporter: we reached ut to apple for comment but the company does not comment on pending litigation and has not yet filed a legal response to the lawsuit. >> i believe they will take the position that to the extent anyone is responsible for the injuries caused by this lawsuit, it's the actual driver of the car and not their product. >> reporter: the attorney for the driver released a statement saying the wilhelm family is confident that after all facts are brought out in court, it will be shown that the use of a cellular device did not contribute and mr. wilhelm did not commit a crime, it's simply an accident. we've seen this technology before. it will say are you the driver or the passenger. if you say you're the driver it will not let you continue on. that's their point. >> yeah, but you could still be the driver.
7:39 am
>> and many people do say -- right, exactly. >> i don't know how that is -- at least it's something. it makes you think, you're right. coming up on our big board, the new headline from the government about pacemakers and hacking. plus should you be allowed to ignore work e-mails once you leave the office. there's a new law overseas. we'll tell you about it when we come back in two minutes. 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.
7:40 am
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. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve 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.
7:41 am
back now with our big board. tory johnson with us. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> we're going to begin with new action from the fda to deal with a potentially deadly cyber threat. could hackers break into medical devices like pacemakers. remember seeing that play out in an episode of "homeland." take a look. >> oh!

call the doctor. >> they got the vice-president's pacemaker. brad garrett joins us now. that was fiction, brad, but millions of americans use pacemakers, so how vulnerable are they and how would a hacking play out? >> george, they are extremely vulnerable. a number of white hat hackers have been hired by the mayo clinic and others to look at the devices in their hospitals. they virtually were able to hack every device that they looked at. it is a really epidemic problem that we don't talk a lot about. >> and brad, you know, george also mentioned about the fda. what is the fda doing and others to do something against these threats? >> well, here's the issue. the fda has issued recommendations to the medical device companies to change their security apparatus because many of these devices virtually have hard wired passwords that can be
7:43 am
easily hacked. the real component here is the hospital, the medical provider who buys the equipment. they're telling these companies either get us up to speed security-wise or we're not going to buy your product. >> yeah, scary when you think about that. brad, thank you very much. imagine leaving the office and not having to -- this would be wonderful -- not stress about work e-mails. that dream is now a reality for millions in france. the country's new right to disconnect law taking effect over the weekend, allowing workers to legally ignore e-mails after hours. tory, this is the law. >> that is the law. that is only a dream here. but you know what, it's very real, very significant because the reality is it's designed to combat the extraordinary issue of e-mail anxiety, workplace stress caused by it. we walk out of the office but we never really leave work because we are always attached to our devices. >> there's a flip side to that as well. you don't have to be in the
7:44 am
office as much. >> that's certainly a good point. i don't think here we're ever going to see any kind of federal legislation that allow us to disconnect. but just as we've spent a lot segments in this very studio talking over the last year about all kinds of parental leave policies, i think this might be a new area of overall employee wellness where some company says we're going to create a digital timeout, a period of e-mail blockout. i think we could see that from a company's perspective. >> before that happens, what are other things we can do? >> first, self-regulate. that's the easiest thing that all of us can do. no tech at the table during dinner. so easy. extend that for an additional maybe 30 minutes, 40 minutes. don't try to go cold turkey and disappearing answering your e-mail if you're somebody who's always responsive. communicate, say to people, i'm not going to be available tonight on e-mail. if you need me, call me. e-mail is quick to fire off but if you have to actually call somebody, you think that conversation can wait until the morning. and i think for bosses, set boundaries. if you are a boss, maybe send
7:45 am
fewer e-mails. maybe be the one to take the lead or so say i'm going to label, this is not urgent. this can wait. this is for tomorrow. i think the onus is on bosses to not expect immediate responses and i think that could lower some of the anxiety. but the mantra for 2017 i think is work hard, rest hard. those two things i think we need both. i read that in the "new york times". i love that. that's my mantra. to be our best, do both. >> you know what, i understand what you're saying about the work e-mails but it's also social media. we were on vacation in puerto rico, and at dinner this entire family, they were on their devices. i'm like, look at the ocean. i could not -- i couldn't get over it. i couldn't get over that. >> leave the device. if you don't bring it to the table, it helps to have more conversation, better communication and you enjoy your meal and your family time, or the ocean. >> we are going to keep enforcing that rule in our house. >> good luck. >> exactly. >> thanks, tore i. coming up next, we're

8:22 am
on the cover for the first time. >> she's very open and she's very open about her journey on weight watchers. >> since i started weight watchers i've lost over 40 pounds. >> reporter: win free who has lost 42 pounds says intention is the most powerful principle. it rules my world. i do nothing without first thinking about why i'm doing it. what is the real motivation. her intention, she says, is to live more fully. now the focus of the weight watchers campaign and this new commercial. >> bring on the food! we're having it all. >> when people struggle losing weight or trying to get healthier, if you have a clear intention, it actually really, really helps. >> reporter: the fullness of life, the fullness of being, the self-acceptance, i'd never done that before. i'd always beaten myself up because i was tied to a number. >> aren't we glad we did it? >> yes. >> we're doing it. >> reporter: but even oprah has her setbacks, saying, at this
8:23 am
point i'm wise enough to know that there's no such thing as failure. it's all here to teach me. i don't look at this as a diet. i see it as a plan for life. such amazing perspective. now, one setback that oprah mentioned in the article, she said she went the entire summer without losing any weight at all but she stuck through it. she also talks about the importance of putting yourself first. she says you have to make fitness and well-being a top priority. especially a woman like her so busy, she says it's her top priority. >> you've done the same thing with your book thinspired. >> they're lessoned i had to learn too. it has to be bigger than fitting into a pair of jeans. >> dr. jen ashton, you want to talk to us about intentions. >> it's the mind-body connection. if you think about the definition of the world intention it's to have a plan or a goal or in oprah's case a reason. if you put that with the five stages of change,
8:24 am
precontemplation, that's not even on your radar. contemplation is when you start to thinking about making the change. then preparation, action and maintenance. you can see why having an intention would be part of all five of these stages of change and very important. >> this is your area of expertise. you're board certified in many of these areas. a lot of people want to know, keeping it off. it's one thing to lose it but to keep that weight off. >> there's good news and bad news here. the good news is that significant weight loss is possible for a person but there's no one right or wrong way to do it, so everyone has to find their own way. the bad news is and extensive data supports this, as soon as we start to support weight, the brain releases to the body and fights to get back up to in many cases our heaviest. it doesn't mean it's impossible but it's difficult. in obesity medicine now the gold
8:25 am
standard is a three-tiered approach. it's to commit as mara said to food and fitness. that is for everyone struggling with any weight loss issue. medication, fda approved weight loss medications will be appropriate when used properly for many, and then bariatric surgery reserved for a few. this is the gold standard, but it's a long-term process here and really the key is recognizing it's not about a lack of willpower or commitment. >> is it psychological? >> no, it's really not. yes, you have to put the mind-body connection into it but so many people feel like failures because when they regain that weight people say you must not have willpower are be dedicated or committed. we know that's not true. >> your metabolism has changed. >> a lot of what you're saying is spot on and self-love is important. you have to accept yourself to make changes. >> 100%. >> thank you all very much. speaking of love, we have nick, "the bachelor," coming up. >> good morning, everyone, 8:27

8:31 am
ones had the most likes, the most posts, and these were the top nine. you're right about that, amy, babies. >> babies. >> i think what -- i don't know about you guys, i never post anything and say how many likes am i going to get. it's just a feeling of happiness and gratitude and i think that's reflected in the number of people who respond. >> were you surprised by the ones? >> i was surprised. not about my sister's wedding. we had a good time. i love that that was right there in the center with my siblings and the two babies. i love the fact that i just got to meet them at christmastime, holding them both. and kevin giving a little peace sign. did you all do it too? >> i saw mine as well. adrian wins every time. right now he's instagram gold is what we would call it. there he is. >> every single photo. >> every single picture except for the one where ben and i were at a wedding. >> people love sharing your joy. i think that's what it is every time. >> which is nice to learn.
8:32 am
>> did you do it as well? >> i just got the most likes and i just happened to look. it was my daughter's birthday. i did a split screen from when she was born. there's my mom. she and i went on a tour for breast cancer awareness. she's on there too. you're wearing the same sweater, mom. she's in the studio. you're wearing the same sweater. >> she looks great in it. >> and george, wait, can i say something really funny? i saw that we were going to be sharing our nine. george in parentheses, they said george only had one post. >> i'm not on instagram but you heard my internal argument. my kids have been lobbying me for public instagram accounts. i've been saying no. they're going to use all of this. >> instagram is really nice though. i feel like it's the nicest of the social media. >> the responses are always so positive. >> i have to say it's the best of all of them. look at the joy you're missing out on. but the best one is nice too,
8:33 am

[ applause ] why thank you. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> you too. >> all right, nick. everyone is talking resolutions on this new year. happy new year. >> happy new year to you. >> did you make any resolutions this year? >> not anything specifically. i try to stay away from sugar. i have a sweet tooth. i'm at the point in my life where if i eat too much sugar the next day i feel terrible. >> i like how you couch that, i wish i could. >> i'll try but it won't happen. until something is in front of me, and then it's over.
8:34 am
>> my resolution is to watch more bachelor. i watched bachelor in paradise. tonight is the season premiere of the bach lore. one of the ladies you'll meet tonight already had a close encounter in the past. take a look at the clip. >> it's just a fun night. hi. >> hi. >> i am definitely nervous and i'm curious to see if he kind of figures out who i am and remembers what happened that night. >> oh, my gosh. your face is hilarious. so i'm guessing you didn't remember liz? >> oh, i definitely remembered, yeah. >> oh, that was what the face was. >> you saw my face. i was like, huh? at that point i had already met 14 other women. your head is spinning, everyone is coming out. >> so many women. >> so little time. >> yeah. so she came out and i was like,
8:35 am
huh. and then she took an interesting approach which you'll have to watch tonight. but yes, she didn't say her name so the whole time i'm like, i'm pretty sure it's you but i don't -- like -- >> she left you hanging? >> she left me hanging. >> the hair was a little different. >> a whole plan to find out if i would remember. it's interesting. you have to check it out to see how interesting it was. >> there's definitely a lot of people you've met through the bachelor and bachelorette and bachelor in paradise. a couple of people have messages for you. should we say hello to desiree? >> i just want to say -- to give you advice i would say stay true to who you are and trust your intuition. trust your instincts with everything that you've got because you can really kind much get distracted and your intuition and your heart and your mind are going toof to all come into play with choosing the right person. so i wish you all the best and i can't wait to watch. bye. [ applause ]
8:36 am
>> it works is what that shows you. look at that. >> yeah. i mean, you know, wonderful new baby. >> new baby, love. >> happy marriage. yeah. >> you've been on "the bachelorette" two times, bach lore in paradise is when i got to know you. you didn't find love those three times. how is it different when you're the one in charge? do you feel more confident going in like i'm going to fall in love because i'm in charge? >> not necessarily. i've had an interesting obviously past being "the bachelor," so i kind of came in thinking i don't even know if this is going to work this time. it's pretty nerve racking. it was nice being on the other side. >> i bet it was. >> i had no complaints but, like, it's hard. >> now you see how they -- >> yeah. i'm good friends with chris soels and ben higgins. they prepped me like it sounds great but it's really hard. you want to give everyone your attention and make sure they feel comfortable and welcome.
8:37 am
they're trying to get to know you. you're just trying to remember what you should say and not say. it's hard and they weren't kidding. >> many of us appreciate you were so kind, you are so kind and it hasn't always been that way in the past, but to see you and how you've handled it thus far, you're very thoughtful. and as a viewer, we appreciate that very much. >> i have to say more realistic. i watch every season. i'm a 100% bach lore fan. i'm all team nick. i have been forever. i have to say though, there was a point where -- and we know why you're love/hate. but there's a person who has advice for you who you may not want to hear from. ali fedotowsky. >> i love ali. >> ali here. i'm here to give you some advice. first, if you're engaged congratulations. if you are engaged, don't listen to anybody's advice. just do your thing, you'll be great. but if you're not engaged, i'm here to tell you that you are officially banned from going on any more bachelor shows.
8:38 am
finding love on tv might not be your thing. tinder maybe? >> oh! >> what was the last thing? >> she said go to tinder. >> oh,. i've never done tinder. >> there's always next time. you're one of ten by the way -- 11. >> i have ten siblings. >> you know what it's like to deal with different personalities. >> it probably prepped me for bachelor world. there's a lot of personalities in my family. there's a lot of personalities in bachelor world. and so it probably prepared me more than anything else to kind of deal with chaos. >> we can't wait to watch the chaos. as you said it's interesting tonight. >> right off the bat. >> season 21. >> wow. nick, we're wishing you well. we hope you find love. >> thank you very much.

and back now on "gm "gma" we celebrating our tenth annual warm coats, warm hearts coat drive partnering with burlington and kids fashion delivers. singing sensations emily sandy and members of the fray are
8:42 am
dropped in to donate. you can do it too, bring your gently used coats to your let's go ahead and get a check drum roll, 109,000 coats already donated. you have time go to the "g.m.a." website to learn more about how to donate. so many folks need that this cold winter. let's get a check on the local weather. >> reporter: thanks, ginger, we have rain in parts of the region south jersey and the northern suburbs there's a concern for another hour or so, in northern areas for freezing rain. 44 will be the high. damp and damp again tomorrow. now to our project wellness series. we're looking at a new way to help you heal called compression. it's a process pro athletes and fitness fans are embracing.
8:43 am
>> it's time to improve the circulation in my walking sticks. >> reporter: sure it makes for a good sitcom comedy. >> leg bags inflating. >> reporter: those leg bags are called norma tech and they're no joke in the world of sports. the head training coach for the lakers regularly uses it on all players. >> i would not have nye training without norma tech. it gets the lactic acid out of the legs. >> reporter: when it comes to injuries, some feel the norma tech makes the difference between playing the next game or sitting out. >> just recently we had a player with an ankle sprain. we put him on norma tech and actually saw a difference the next morning. >> reporter: athletes like simone biles, lebron james swear about it. at the unbreakable gym in west hollywood, there's a lounge area equipped with devices for all members to use.
8:44 am
>> i don't want you leaving our gym feeling in more pain. i want you walking out here, oh, my gosh, i feel great. >> you're telling me if i use the norma tech sleeve, i wouldn't have to walk around like this? >> you would feel not just an immediate impact, you'll feel an impact later that night. >> step your foot into it. >> okay. >> reporter: naturally i gave it a try. >> it's going to work its way up. >> okay, yeah. you feel the pressure at your feet and now you can feel more pressure kind of moving up. >> yep. >> reporter: the company says the pulse recovery system is designed to help with circulation, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow to your muscles. the sleeves fill up with air, causing compression, and then intermittently pulses and releases. the pulsing is unique to norma tech, but there are plenty of other pneumatic leg compresses around. >> when i didn't have these it took about an hour to warm up. now it takes 15, 20 minutes. changed my life. >> you're in the best shape of your life? >> i think so, yeah.
8:45 am
i'm kind of old but these help, these help for old people. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kayna whitworth, abc news, los angeles. >> good to know they help for old people because i'm trying out one right now. this is the norma tech sleeve. tells us medically what's going on. >> there are a lot of different companies, not just norma tech. basically the theory is it's providing graded compression. if you look at this incredible model we made to simulate what really is going on below the skin. yellow is skin and fat, pink is muscle. then you have nerve. they make them for arms, legs, trunk. the theory is that it's not just bringing away some possible cell met tab lights that might make
8:46 am
your legs feel heavy but also increasing blood flow and bringing more beneficial mediators to the site. we need more data on that. >> i did something similar when i had my shoulder surgery a year ago, the same kind of thing. what's the history behind this? >> like so many things in the wellness space, this started really hard core medically. in the hospital setting we use things called sequential compression devices on the arms and legs. no one who had surgery may remember those squeezing their legs to prevent blood clots. they're used in patients with venus ulcers or bad peripheral circulation. now it's going mainstream for the pro athlete or just weekend warrior. >> why do you look at me like that? >> pro athlete. >> i'm the or. she couldn't even fill in the blank like or -- or you, robin. but are there any cons to this? >> of course, like anything you want to go for moderation. if you overuse it or apply it
8:47 am
with too much pressure or too tightly, it can cause injury. it can be expensive. you're talking about $500. there are some other companies there. you really don't want to overuse it. physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists and athletic trainers are using these all the time. i would say they're in every pro locker room and elite team locker room now. >> i didn't realize they were that popular. it's almost like a massage a little bit. >> let me do the other arm. >> thank you very much. >> which one is better. look at these guns. >> don't even try. thank you, jen. coming up, we have -- it's starting up again. we have three stars here live. take me to your leader.

show "beyond" that is premiering tonight. take a look. >> you spent 12 years in that place. it's a beautiful world filled with more wonder and magic than you'll see in a lifetime. it's also extremely dangerous. >> how would you know that? [ applause ] >> i was just telling you, berkeley, my daughters are very excited about the season premiere tonight. you play holden matthews, a different take on a traditional superhero. tell us what the show is essentially about. >> as you said it revolves around my character, holden. he wakes up from a coma after 12 years and he really has to come to grips with this whole new world. he has a whole new set of friends he has to make. he doesn't recognize the world that he had known before he went into his coma. he also has abilities he's coming to know. >> it's so funny, i had the full synopsis from my 10-year-old who told me all about it last night. for the first time ever free
8:51 am
form is going onto the binge watching band wagon and you can see the entire first season. what do you think about that? >> we're excited. i love being able to watch shows and immerse myself in a world of characters. to be able to give the fans -- if you love the show you can go on and watch as many episodes as you want. >> so i won't see my kids or get my tv back for at least a few days. katherine, your show, "shadow hunters" is premiering tonight as well. we have a preview. take a look. >> it's my right to know. >> i was scared because you married a psychopath. my father. >> so you know. >> mom, how could you? >> oclaire, your father wasn't always like this. >> i deserve to know who i am. >> i know. i promise from now on, no more lies. [ applause ] >> jumping right into the family. >> shadow hunters was just
8:52 am
nominated for a people's choice award so congratulations on that. >> thank you. >> what do you think makes this show so popular? >> everyone loves the supernatural and escaping into that world but something we dive into this season is the humanity of the characters. it's about these characters that are growing up and falling in love for the first time and dealing with all of these relatable issues in this setting. >> a supernatural setting. there's supposed to be some changes. can you give us an idea of what we can expect? >> we've reworked the show in a sense in every aspect, from the look to the weapons to the brutality of the show. it has a bit more grit and it's grounded into reality. everything is more -- the danger is more prevalent, the brutality is there and you get to see what makes these characters tick. >> very cool. i'm intrigued, thank you so much for joining us. you can see both shadow hunters and beyond on free form tonight and start watching at 8:00 p.m.
