we have a culture of doing that, anderson. it's a real problem and i agree with you. >> isn't this making excuses? you said the vast majority of people then, you know, want too much, spend too much, eat too much, but if you commit a crime, if you kill four people, you can't use that as an excuse, can you? >> no, and the term -- when you use the word kill and people out in america hear that, it implies that there is some -- that motive, that the motive was not good -- >> are you -- >> he -- >> he didn't kill four people? >> yes, he did not murder four people. it's a legal term. >> okay. but he slammed his truck -- >> first-degree homicide and involuntary manslaughter are different things, anderson. >> he killed four people, yes? >> four people died. >> well, no, four people didn't just magically die. he slammed his vehicle into four people, correct? >> but you're implying -- there was a little bit there, anderson, that says he -- like did he pick them out like bowling pins and run over them? >> no, he was too drunk to do that b

the motive was almost always stretched as it is pieces of anderson house. the anderson house and that -- and all of the others in fact or not so circumspect. it was the that give the society their glamour to it was the worst crime i think the best behavior of a dinner party than to sleep with someone's wife. mrs. roosevelt knew who this. weekly cabinet wives met with her to discuss various matters of concern in the administration names cannot. if a man and woman were misspeaking, the first lady send an age to call first on the man advising him if the affair didn't stop that he and the woman wouldn't be allowed at the white house. the rejection from the entertainment ceremonies for the head of state. except with one man. he was the direct senate of lafayette the diplomatic community here. he was born from here and he was the lead advisor to the french embassy and in fact because i'm of anderson kill myriad in cincinnati. he was a womanizer to say the least. he pursued women for no shame. even though alice roosevelt but she confessed in her diary at last said

a small portion of the book takes place here in anderson house, for lars and isabelle anderson were characters in the imperial season. we can feast upon the setting tonight and imagine what it was like in, say, 1907 filled with guests, diplomats, women in court trains -- that means 9 feet from the shoulder to the end of the -- to the hem. black and white evening clothes, some feathered head addresses with women -- head dresses with women who had been presented in court, three feathers. and in the dining room, a servant fitted out in powdered wig and 18th century attire, flowers, champagne and music. to give some context, it was a 25-year or period historically when america first felt the thrill of international importance. isolated for so long, holding europe this contempt for so long, the promise of a world position opened doors of monetary opportunities for some. a bridge across the atlantic at last. and where more obvious for that new american power to express itself first than in a capital, washington. here and here alone in this period. america's strong voice was first heard in 1895 when

>> anderson, we're hearing merrill newman has been deported. run news media saying newman had tried to confirm the whereabouts and terrorists have been trained while he was in north korea. this is why they had arrested him in the first place. they say he was part of a special operations team during the korean war which is working against north korea. his family always said it was a case of mistaken identity. they said because he admitted to this crime, we saw that last weekend, he was reading out a sheet of paper admitting to this crime, we don't know if that was co-horsed or not and because of his advanced age and health condition they deported him from a humanitarian view point. we're trying to decide if this is the case, if he's in beijing or back to the united states. we're trying to confirm this. >> we don't know about his whereabouts or the condition he's in. we're showing you the video and still shots from the alleged confession he read on north korean state television, he bowed at the end of it, clearly something written by the north ko

i'm bill in for anderson.s a new definition of cold comfort on a research vessel stuck since chris mall eve because the chinese ice breaker that came to unstuck them just got stuck. some of the stranded customers have been feeding a video from the middle of a blitz yard yesterday as they climb on deck. get a load of what they are stranded in down there. in a moment, you'll hear from three people trapped on that ship but how they and 71 others got there. >> reporter: the -- 74 researchers and crew got off to a great start. >> it's half past midnight and we're going past some fantastic looking burgs. >> reporter: lead by a professor from the university of new south wails in australia they were looking forward to studying and retracing the steps of douglas who lived and studied live on the continent between 1911 and 1914. professor turney's team dug their way in the cabin from a century ago. but on christmas eve, just about 100 miles from where they started out, their adventure came to a halt quite literally. the

anderson? >> appreciate the reporting, thanks. >>> there is more happening tonight.osa floor rest has the bull din. >> anderson, kicking off a three-week pr offensive. president obama insisted the sweeping health care law is working and asked supporters to spread the word about benefits of the affordable care act. >> we may never satisfy the laws of opponents. that is fair to say. some are rooting for it to fail. that's not my opinion, by the way, they say it pretty explicitly. some convinced themselves the law has failed regardless of the evidence, but i would advice them to check with the people who are here today. and the people they represent all across the country whose lives have been changed for the better by the affordable care act. >> north korea's leader is believed to have sacked his powerful uncle shown here on the left from the top level government post while two ally haves been publicly executed according to south korean lawmakers briefed by south korea's intel again see. >>> french prosecutors investigating bob dillon on suspicion of insighting hatred.

[ laughter ] by the way, a panda is going to cost you. but if you're adventure rous type or if you like to splurge on crap -- >> anderson, anderson, that behavior may fly in your 40s, but trust me, it's not going to cut it in your 60s. you have to keep it together. you have to learn how to keep it together. medication, maybe. maybe find a way to center yourself, repeat it in your head. i'll give you an example. i calm myself by repeating over and over and over again, you're in the situation room. but that may not work for you because it has the word urine in it, and i hope you'll find as you mature that you'll be able to keep a straight face when saying nearly anything. so watch

anderson? >> kyung lah, appreciate that. going to dig deep on the information about the vehicle. eddy, thank you for joining us, you say the car walker died in was particularly hard to handle at high speeds, explain why. >> well, this is not a car for a novice, it originally was used as a racing vehicle, a v 10 engine, had no stability control and in general was just not a car for novices. it was beyond a super car, it is what we call a hyper car. >> and i understand -- is it the engine of the car more in the middle which makes it easier to drive than some of the cars that had the engine up front? >> well, having the engine in the middle means, in physics, was low inertia, more agile, turning more quickly with its front and rear. the car was just incredibly agile, changing direction very, very quickly, very much like a race car. >> there were also skid marks on the ground. again, i don't want to speculate. because frankly we just don't know what occurred. but what are the questions you would like to see answered in terms of

anderson, mr. cooper. >> you don't have to call him mr. anderson, okay?rced to sign? i hope so. >> yes. she is. and we had to put it in real big font and she's doing the best -- she doesn't normally read contracts. >> let me just show, kathy, a little bit of what i'm concerned about given your past behavior? let's show the clip from some of our years past. >> i'm here with, of course, kathy griffin. >> i'm here with not ryan seacrest. let's throw some to the jonas brothers. >> you can't do that. >> you just threw something at the jonas brothers. >> i did. >> wow, i almost wore this. i was this close. >> this is not awkward at all. >> sorry, hi, everybody. take your hands off me. honestly. >> kathy was saying it's like the prom she never had. >> that's right. >> i texted kathy to sing to her happy thanksgiving. >> it was a tweet sweet text. >> he she texted back, are you drunk? >> i know that's your schtick and what you do, but i am really hoping this year just like, you know, just keep it clean. i mean, just do you remember thing but don't be tawdry. you

>> that's right, anderson.was sitting in a cookie jar in our kitchen for a little over two and a half months before we realized we had won. and it was basically a challenge by my wife to go and get the tickets checked, or she was going to throw them away. that prompted me to go and get them screened and find out whether or not we had won anything. >> this is probably a dumb question, but how did you feel when you found out you won the jackpot? >> you know, it was absolutely insane. you know, we had gone through such a difficult time over the last year and half, and, you know, just a simple clinging of faith and to be rewarded this way, was just incredibly overwhelming. >> what has changed for you in the past year? >> in the past year, i guess, the most significant thing for us is the opportunity of choice. true choice. when my son graduated high school last year, he felt his only option was a community college. now he has the choice to be able to attend whatever college he wants in the united states. and for --

they may trade brett anderson. we'll see if they continue to add to make this year's team stronger. >>> let's move over to football. this weekend the top two teams in the nfc west square out, seahawks flying high in first place, 49ers trying to catch them. good for a little redemption after pounded in week two up in seattle. with all that said, 49ers are a focus on this sunday's opponent. >> we definitely want to come out at home and play well and show everyone what we could do against a really good team. so i think it could definitely be a statement game. right now, you know, our goal is to just finish out the year and keep winning games and make it into the post season. >> it might be the most intense game this season, i think so. those guys don't like us. we don't like them. you know? it's just one of those games. just one of those games. so, you know, we look forward to

. >> well, first of all, good evening, anderson.was good, but as 18 years old, i was a senior in high school. it was an experience that not too many people get to enjoy. but you know, we've all heard stories of the bad, what goes wrong. we have to really focus on what we can do right. i think rick nailed it right on the head when he said you're given the opportunity and the gift of choice. whenever you win that or if you win a jackpot, mega millions, it doesn't matter. you're given a choice, make it a blessing or a curse. >> no, i was just thinking about it, terry, i can't imagine at 18 being in high school and getting the 3.-- or $7.5 million or however much it was exactly. did people suddenly try to take advantage of you and treat you differently? i.. >> not at first. i come from a small town, everybody knew me, i knew everybody. no, they didn't, they treated me just the way they always have. so i was very blessed for that opportunity. once i got out of town and started to go to college and so forth, yeah, that did happen. but whe

you might get a better time slot. >> anderson, how do you prepare for this?is an onslaught. >> i love being with kathy. she is -- she a good friend of mine, and she's somebody i enjoy her company. she makes me incredibly nervous, no doubt about it. i never sweat more than i do in that time when we're -- even though it's freezing cold out, i'm usually by the end of the evening, i'm drenched in sweat, because i am nervous. but, you know, she makes me laugh and, you know, giggle in a way that i am embarrassed to -- the fact that i giggle that way. >> kathy, is it true you all and ryan seacrest and carson daly all go out afterwards? >> you know, it's interesting you would ask that question, because this year we had a plan to all have dinner together in harmony as a family, and anderson cooper sent an e-mail to all of us blowing us och, about something about meeting with the coat check girl, or making sure the coat check girl had the right ticket. it was not a significant reason, but we cried a little bit. >> i have to work the night before. yes, two years ago, i

up next, >>> i'm anderson cooper.report, extraordinary people. >> and i'm robin meade. extraordinary might be in the eye of the beholder. to some it might mean someone fantastically athletic or someone uber talented. what about every day folks who simply have to be courageous in the circumstance they find themselves in, or selfless or inspirational. looking back on this year 2013, who do you feel is truly extraordinary? >> that's what we're going to look at in the next hour. you're going to meet some every day people who really did extraordinary things. people like antoinette tuff. in a year that mass gun shootings made news, this schoolteacher changed the story. she had power ofe.

>> reporter: hi, anderson, well, authorities are trying to piece together the body fragments that they collected from both sites to see if they can identify the bombers and match any of the articles within the data bases, they believe the two attacks were related because both contained the shrapnel, it is a fair assumption because of all the terror attacks taking place on the soil there, they have all come from the same region, where a fully-fledged islamist insurgency is being waged. >> can you explain the target there, close to sochi? why there? >> volgograd is a very major rail area for this area, so if you're traveling from russia, or from sochi, or the northern caucasus, any tourists would have to come from the other way. so they know it will be very, very tight as the games approach. and targeting other regional cities, transportation hubs where people may come through especially at peak holiday season, that is the way to create maximum fear and maximum panic ahead of these games. >> and what about security? what are russian officials saying about security in advance of and durin

. >> reporter: well, good evening, anderson. one of the main points that sheriff robinson made is he believes quick action and response but the law enforcement who were on scene, almost imminently likely saved lives. you know, since columbine, since that shooting, there is extensive training how to respond to an active shooter situation inside a school, and the law enforcement officers locally and on a state level are trained to go in and immediately -- not to wait, to immediately identify the threat and to stop that threat. and so they responded immediately and within five minutes, he said of the initial call for help, they had identified the shooter who had already found had taken his own life. so just to recap, there are one person whose dead, two people who are injured, the person who died, the officials tell us is the shooter himself, a student at the school. the two people who were injured, one remaining in critical condition, a 15-year-old girl who had surgery for a very serious gunshot wound and a second student who was

it ended when anderson silver throe a leg which chris weidman checked. anderson silver's leg broke. he was taken to hospital, he fell to the ground no agony. there's a belief that the injury could end anderson silver's stellar career. the mmc released a statement reading in part: >> anderson silver is considered the best pound for pound fighter in the history of martial arts, holding the longest title streak ending in 2013, with 16 wins and 10 title defenses and won 33 of his 39 career mixed martial arts fights and is 16 and 2. both of the losses coming in the last two flights. >> so sad it may end his career. >> has this happened before, serious injuries like this? >> it is a freak injury. the last time it happened was in 2008, when former light weight champion cory hill suffered the same injury on a leg kick. he was younger. anderson silver is 38, which is why so many fear the injury could end anderson silver's career. >> i'm glad we did not show it, gruesome. >> iran has seen something it has not seen in years. foreign tourists, many coming to visit the soaring mountains. soraya

the morton case was the biggest case that ken anderson had been involved in. >> district attorney anderson somebody that we had seen and looked up to. he really ran the court. he ran the case. he was -- his timing was good. he came across as not only believable, but almost just, you know, iconic in the room. >> the lead investigator was don wood, who was on the witness list. we thought wood would take the stand. and we would have the opportunity to cross him. when he was passed to us for cross-examination, we'd get his reports. they never called don wood. instead they called the sheriff boutwell to the stand. he didn't testify for very long. and he didn't really say that much. why were they being so careful with woods? we didn't know. >> in other trial news, damaging testimony yesterday in the wife-beating murder trial of michael morton. >> the jury relied on the testimony of the travis county medical examiner dr. roberto bayardo who placed morton's time of death at 1:15 that morning, before michael left for work. >> the medical testimony as far as time of death seemed to point out to me t

>> actually they did, anderson. we're told the bushes and obamas and secretary clinton were in the private conference room around the table hanging out and actually exchanging stories about their encounters with nelson mandela. would have been a fascinating conversation because between the three contingants there having these experiences with mandela that spanned three administrations and then after that, you know how it is on a long haul flight, even if you like the person you're traveling with, you need a little down time and alone time. the obamas retired to their cabin and the bushes took the medical office right behind their cabin and secretary clinton retired to the senior staff cabin. >> and president clinton, former president carter, they're coming separately on different flights. so many world leaders, very interesting not only from a security standpoint, but just logistically. you have world leaders that do not communicate with the united states. >> i think that's extraordinarily. these guys are making a 1

they did not have that. >> he did, anderson.t i would say and always say about him, people think of him as a saint but he was a pragmatic hard-headed politician. that created the nelson mandela we know now. he'll be the first to tell you, the man that walked into prison in 1960 was a different man. we wouldn't recognize him. he was hot headed, i'm passionened. prison steeled him and all those hours and hours of interviews that we did, i used to always annoy him because i would say, what was different about the man who walked out of prison than the man who walked in? and one day, finally, you me, he said to me, i came out mature. very rare. >> there is a beautiful illustration of that because during the trials or in the early '60s, he was quoted saying to his colleagues, maybe we should reconsider how we're fighting this struggle because it was mostly peaceful in the beginning and this idea should it become more combative, more violent? when we came out of prison, quoted and said to the people now throw away your guns and knives

anderson? >> this is mandela's family what you see here is a collection of the grandchildren, the children, his present wife and ex-wife n winne. the one thing you perhaps could fault him, perhaps one of his greatest failures many people said, he wasn't there for his family. i think that same sacrifice for the greater good. he understood it but when you speak to his family, a lot of them, particularly his daughters have found it very difficult to come to terms that he abandoned them and he chose this. >> isn't their amazing story about his daughter zindzi. his name was banned. people couldn't quote him and his daughter read out a defiant stadium in this stadium and it was the first time she felt part of him. >> she said she was a teenager. >> she said, my father says, no, i cannot accept the conditions. even though he was offered to leave prison, he said no. until he was able to get an equitable deal for the other prisoners. >> let's listen in. >> we are just trying to get a sense of who is com

>> reporter: good evening, anderson. at this hour military investigators are urgently trying to figure out what did happen here. the reports are that the helicopter, the blackhawk, went down due to mechanical failure. but once it hit the ground, were any of those six military members still alive? they are looking at a report that the helicopter once crashed came under mortar fire from taliban forces in the immediate vicinity. so what they need to determine now, did the six members die in the crash? or is it possible, possible, that they were alive when they hit the ground, that there was a mortar attack, and that they perished in that? investigators are talking to members of another helicopter that was flying in the immediate vicinity. they are trying to see what they can learn. we are told from the one survivor of the crash six u.s. military families, terrible news on this holiday season. but this has been a big issue up and down the pentagon hallways all day, anderson. constant meetings about what did happen, and we kn

but, anderson, you saw the numbers.00 pills a month, this particular woman got down to taking tylenol and you can see the extreme of what these patients are taking. >> how big of a problem is this really and what responsibilities do doctors have here? >> doctors, nurse practitioners, dentists. look. we talk about this a lot as you mentioned. 80% of the world's pain pills are taken in the united states. it's a startling number. we know that for most -- for about a third of patients, only a third of patients, they actually work sort of initially. for two-thirds of the patients, they may not work at all. and long term, after a few months, it seems to lose its effectiveness. what do patients do? take more and more, start to combine it with other drugs, including alcohol and that's often how these accidental deaths occur. again, 80% of the pain meds -- >> incredible. >> he's right about the fact we need to have an honest dialogue regarding that. >> sanjay, thanks very much. >>> hackers target target and millions affected. fi

he broke down in tears as anderson showed him photos of his wife's body. >> ken anderson's theory ofwas the theory that it was michael's birthday. christine had refused to have sex with him that night, and he went into a homicidal rage, and killed her. >> channel 7 reports prosecutors say he beat his wife to death after she refused to have sex with him on his birthday. >> the headline reveals the argument of the prosecution. district attorney ken anderson today focused his line of questioning on morton's infrequent sexual relationship with his wife. >> under ken's theory at that point, then michael masturbated over christine's body, as, i guess, some form of sexual relour release. we don't know what it was. but when he did that he had tears coming down his eyes, down his eyes as he talked to the jury. it was really quite an effective performance. >> when i heard ken anderson speaking to the jury or talking to witnesses, i was actually encouraged a little bit because i -- in my mind, who couldn't see that these were nothing more than emotional pleas with no substance? >> it's not unco
