katie: why is that?hink it is changing, but i think we need to really be there to change it more. katie: let's talk about pragmatically what you do to help these women because i'm sure some women watching this at home would love to hear your advice for those who want to start a business or do something on their own and just do not know where to start. tory: one exciting thing is i told you earlier, part of the business plan of our company was to start a foundation, and i was very worried that it would ever be perceived as marketing. so we did not want to talk about it for a long time. we ended up launching the foundation in 2009, and it has taken until now to really see impact and scale. i think, with a partnership with bank of america, we have now given out over $25 million in the last two years to women entrepreneurs in the u.s. katie: wow. aboutand we are averaging half $1 million a month. women have a harder time getting loans. that is just a fact. they pay their loans back. they are dedicated to the

katie: good evening. i am katie couric filling in for charlie rose.n 2017, according to the american cancer society, nearly 1.7 million people will be diagnosed with cancer. over 600,000 of them will die. that is over 1600 deaths from cancer every single day. it is a matter that became deeply personal for me when my husband died of colon cancer in 1998 at the age of 42. that was 19 years ago. today, there have been a number of advances in medicine that have taken us a long way in the fight against cancer. there are promising new breakthroughs giving patients and their families a reason to hope. in 2015, president jimmy carter suffered from late stage melanoma, a cancer once thought to be a death sentence. but after undergoing a new treatment, his tumors disappeared. and today, he is cancer free. how close are we really to finding a cure for cancer? to help answer that question, we are joined tonight by dr. bill nelson. he is the director of the comprehensive cancer center at johns hopkins. dr. louise perkins is chief science officer at the melanoma re

katie: this is a good segue.e throwing around a lot of terms that people may be scratching their heads about at home. that is the new cancer research that is really providing a lot of hope for cancer patients. that is programs taking us further to finding a cure, at least managing some of these cancers, like a chronic illness. one is umass therapy. we are going to do sort of cancer 101 for people bachynskiing at home. an umass therapy approach is bolstering the body's immune system so it can kill the cancer, correct? they explained this to me earlier. three different types of immunotherapies. can you explain those in layman's terms, bill? >> first the immune system is remarkable. it can recognize a virus that comes in, a bacteria and infection and fight it off. it can recognize your cells, if they are in my body if i had a kidney transplant and reject it. it can also see the differences in cancer cells versus normally cells. if the immune system can see those differences why did the cancer grow in the first place

>> well katy, first of all, that in itself is a bomb shell. i mean, it's extraordinarily rare for the fbi to ever confirm publicly a criminal investigation. so you have the fbi director telling the american public that there is a criminal investigation into whether trump associates and trump campaign colluded with a foreign power. it's one thing for nbc news and other news organizations to report that based on enormous sources, but now the fbi confirmed it and it creates an expectation that we're going to find out one way or another whether it's true. now we have reported and others have reported that as part of this investigation already the fbi has reviewed intercepts and it looking at contacts and conversations between trump associates and russians. one can presume that they're going to be reviewing thousands of documents and interviewing hundreds of people as part of this counterintelligence investigation, and you know, generally the playbook in these probes is they try to flip a little fish. they try to prove a crime against a smaller fig

kati: it is a strange intersection.eason the story of noel field has not been known until now, although he played a huge role in the cold war, was because stalin did not want him ever to talk to western media after the torment he had been through, which i'm sure we will get to, the torture. but my parents were the only journalists who ever found him in his hideaway in budapest my hometown, during the chaos of the hungarian revolution and surprised the man and his wife who asked for political asylum in hungary, afraid to come back to america because he had been unmasked as a soviet spy by then. and so, the only existing interview with field was one that my parents did. and i was the fortunate beneficiary of that. a lot of pain went into that. charlie: did you discover that or had you known about this for a long time? kati: i had heard, when my father was freed from two years of maximum prison, the same prison field was in, he told us that as his jailer was leading him to his cell, the jailer said, congratulations, you go

let's get right over to meteorologist, katie fehlinger. the storm really coming in as expected. >> it is, and we do have upgrades to tell but when it comes to some of the warnings that have been posted by the national weather service, even upgrades expectations for totals across some of the northern most counties. so here another look for you at the winter storm alerts. what you may notice is that down right now, southeastern burlington, atlantic counties, no long area winter storm warning. actually seen too much rain building in, so that's actually been since removed and turned into a winter weather advisory regardless though this is still very powerful storm. in one way shape or form for everyone. but in the dark red area, that is the blizzards warning. blizzard conditions expected potentially for multiple hours here. that warning, remains in effect until 6:00 tonight. so, many hours left of this. look at this bad boy. it is huge. it extends all the way from the canadian border right down to the gulf of mexico. so, not only massive in th

for katie hopkins? have proved very expensive. £24,000 in damages and an extra £107,000 for katie hopkins in court costs. it's not the first time a tweet has led to legal action, but it certainly points out the risks. generally, people are unaware, i think, that they are exposed to libel laws if they do tweet. but this case and others will help make that clearer to people, that when they do post online they are subject to the law like everybody else. a lesson then notjust for katie hopkins but anyone on social media. 0nline comments can be very costly. david sillito, bbc news. this is bbc news — the headlines: thousands of civilians try to flee mosul as iraqi forces reclaim the city block by block, from islamic state militants. a 23—year—old man jailed for killing a boy and his aunt during a police car chase in london, had over 50 previous convictions. bt has bowed to demands to hive off the part of the business that runs the uk's broadband infrastructure, 0penreach, into an entirely separate company. i
