11:19 am
unilateral changes to the affordable care act. the president repeatedly suggested he was going to unilaterally change immigration law. where the members would not trust him. >> so he blaming the president for congress not acting? >> john boehner has always blamed the president for the way this issue has evolved. part of that for boehner is also a political consideration within his own conference on the house republicans are very, very divided about this issue. and some establishment republicans and the leadership would like to see something get done. they've got a lot of people on their conservative wing who just want to focus on border security and don't want to focus on comprehensive reform. >> has there been enough positive reaction to what happened last night that the president may regret not having done this before the election? >> i think it's an interesting question to ask. the president delayed this announcement until after the november elections. it was originally slated for the
11:20 am
summertime. and delayed that announcement essentially to save senate democrats in red states. they were worried this could hurt their re-election chances. almost all those people lost anyway. there is the question had they made this announcement earlier in the summer, would it have mobilized the base and maybe not made a difference in the end? how will this affect 2016? >> hillary clinton tweeted support for this plan almost immediately after the speech. she hasn't been that vocal on political matters but obviously wanted to get her voice as part of this discussion. i think the big 2016 question for republicans, there's sort of a competition, who can come out the most aggressively against the president on this. that's going to drive the eventual republican nominee to right if they're returning to the center, that could be hard for them in a general election and good for hillary clinton if she's the nominee. >> all right, carrie dann, have a great weekend, thank you. you can follow carrie on twitter throughout the day, as president obama travels to las vegas for a rally to promote the executive actions he's taking on

well, you thought they were private, but there are new warnings aboutlu%ññ webcams tha stream video online. a hacker in russia has figured out an easy way to break into a nanny cam and security cameras as well. he set up a website to show the world. nbc's jeff rosen reports. >> reporter: you're watching a mother and her young children at home in new york. every move they make, streaming live online. and they have no idea. we're blurring their faces. on the web, it's as clear as day. this baby recorded sleeping in a
11:25 am
crib. this father walking around his son's room. this man laying in a hospital bed. we found live video inside this day care center. uy this man sleeping in his own bed in new jersey. yet another camera rolling in a bathroom. all of it posted on this website. run by a russian hacker. we're not disclosing the site's name. how is this happening? >> people go out, they buy these cameras. these cameras come preinstalled with a password like 1, 2, 3, 4. they then plug them in without changing the password. >> reporter: it's an worldwide hack. 73,000 cameras streaming live from 152 countries. including nearly 5,000 victims here in the u.s. and it's not only your private the8ipe exact location.
11:26 am
new york's wnbc tracked one of the videos to this kick boxes gym. >> that's not a good feeling. >> reporter: the manager had no idea the russian hacker hit her too. >> knowing that, you know, someone can hack into a password safe security camera is sort of unnerving. >> reporter: in a bizarre new twist, the hacker now claims he's doing it all to help people, posting this site has been designed in order to show the importance of the security settings. to remove your public camera from this site and make it private, change your camera default passward. beyond the obvious privacy concerns here, how dangerous is this? i mean, there could be criminals out there watching. >> that's correct. you're letting millions see the inside of your house. it's pretty dangerous when they can tell when you're home, when you're not home. they know when your kids are home. you're letting almost anybody know at's going on inside your house at any given time. >> new research says a tool that's supposed to stop the spread of germs actually exposes

11:33 am
area. when you factor in the winds, though, it feels colder outside. this is what it's going to feel like as we work our way into the afternoon hours. only feeling like it's in the 20s by noon. 3:00, not much better. feelingoñmeñ like 26 in gathers. right at freezing in fredericksburg at 26 and out in winchester. getting into the evening, the winds die down around 6:00. the temperatures drop dramatically tonight. a cold night for friday night lights. 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., the temperature around 32 degrees. 8:00 to 10:00 p.m., temperatures around 30 degrees. some spots already in the upper 20s. tomorrow, overall warmer. high temperature of 46. also, the winds are not going to be an issue tomorrow. so good news there. plenty of sunshine. it's a cold start though going out to that saturday morning walk or run. temperature around 28 degrees. by noon, maybe taking the dog out, temperatures around 43. if you do have plans jou s outs
11:34 am
saturday afternoon, the weather not impacting them in a negative way. we've had full sunshine up until this point. after that, clouds do start to make their way in. we'll finish off sunday cloudy. sunday night here at 10:00 p.m., this is when rain starts to movi in. we'll track rain overnight sunday. steady rain leaves the area very early monday morning. here's future weather at 4:00 a.m. then there's only the chance of maybe an isolated shower after that on monday. but a good part of monday is looking dry. so you can get outside and enjoy it. maybe not a bad day to do some of that yard work. 70. tuesday, still not bad. temperature around 60 degrees. there's a chance of showers on wednesday. veronica will be in at 4:00 p.m. updating the forecast. this is a day we're keeping a close eye on. temperature of 51. right now, thanksgiving, partly sunny skies. not too bad. but it is still below our average high temperature which

11:48 am
people have to realize this. these fads, the latest is the thigh gap. and we have concerns about this as a profession. that, you know, it's fostering perhaps the wrong direction for people. >> now, when we talk about the thigh gap, we were talking about where a woman sort of has a little bit of a bow leg, right, because you see a space between her two legs. >> right. this latest fad that is being thoughtto be very attractive in women and desirable is having space between the inner upper thighs, as you're approaching the pelvis. >> that has not always been attractive. >> exactly, bow legged, twiggy-like for instance. our big concern as a profession is, you know, not everybody -- many people can never.guxp(rrq+ this. but it's being promoted -- >> -- women have that look --
11:49 am
>> you go on social media now, they're promoting special diets which are basically extreme diets, and exercises to try to achieve it. a lot of people coming and asking for it surgically. >> can you achieve that surgical surgically? >> we can improve it with advanced laser techniques. however, let's face it, let's be real. most of us can never achieve this. most women can never have thigh gap because of their anatomy. >> five years from now, they won't even want it because that will be consider eed bow legged. >> that's important to understand because things are changing all the time. >> let's talk about men too while we have you here. we know men have often talked about having the six pack. now you say they're coming in, asking for the eight pack. how is that different from the six pack? >> it's just sort of -- again, it's an extreme body change that -- some guys can achieve it with extreme exercise. i'm talking about being in the
11:50 am
gym four hours a day. but the majority of us, again, let's be real, can never get this without surgical intervention. there is surgical technique we use cause etching that can achieve this look. >> you put a plate under there -- >> no, it's advanced liposuction technique where we do high definition sculpting with laser to achieve this. it's surgery. >> again, dangerous? >> surgery. >> somebody wants to undergo that -- >> so these are bad fads. people should accept the way they are and make modified changes to diet, exercise, and rarely surgery. >> thank you, doctor. from a surgeon, i think that's good advice. thank you. our time right now, 11:5. hollywood rolls out some of the biggest movies in time for the holidays. plus, amelia segal is back with a look at the weekend warm-up. stay with us.
