everybody dry and into warm clothes and jackets. Time for a look at the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
news as seen across the US just a couple of hours ago. Tonight, | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
blinding snow and plunging temperatures. Arctic air from | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Minnesota to Maine. A trained realm and makes matters worse. And a | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
freezing countdown to New Year's Day. New images of the terror | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
attacks in Russia. The giant blast caught on tape just weeks before | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
American athletes head overseas. The racecar legend fighting for his life | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
after a skiing accident. Tonight, why he was able to speak after the | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
fall and before he went into a coma. And who is watching you? What the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
traffic light in your hometown reveals. Are these cameras making | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
some intersections even more dangerous? | :01:00. | :01:14. | |
Good evening. With millions of Americans travelling for New Year's | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Eve, it's going to be freezing across much of the country. This is | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
the view from the windscreen of a driver in the Midwest. And in | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Minnesota, look at the temperature reading. It's getting even colder. | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Emergency crews battling freezing temperatures along with this | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
explosion of flames when a freight train derailed in North Dakota. It's | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
going to be a very cold New Year's Eve. We have full coverage tonight. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Our correspondent is in Minneapolis. Good evening. The city | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
is being swallowed by steam rising as they try to keep everybody warm. | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
A deep fries with a tight and unapologetic chokehold on the | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Midwest. This is arctic. In North Dakota, freezing temperatures and | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
powerful winds. Another look at this new video footage showing fire crews | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
responding to this train derailment. No reported injuries. But | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
potentially hazardous materials were on board. Across Minneapolis, those | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
forced to be outside, walked quickly, said the tall and bundled | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
up. It makes you shake. This family were out with their daughter. The | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
baby carrier is completely sealed. This popular waterfall in | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Minneapolis has turned into an ice palace. It's completely frozen over. | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
In Wisconsin, 14 degrees below zero. So cold, this shelter quickly filled | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
every bed. Nights like this, we have to make room for everyone. In other | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
parts of the Midwest, Peter bitter temperatures will linger. The cold | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
is heading into the east. New York is preparing for giant crowds to | :03:26. | :03:40. | |
ring in the New Year. It's the coldest it has been this season. By | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
tomorrow morning, we are talking dangerous temperatures for many | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
people. 26 degrees below zero will be the windchill in Minneapolis. In | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
Times Square... We will have lots of people withstanding temperatures | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
that feel like they are in the single digits. The actual air | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
temperature will be just under freezing. You already have your eye | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
on the first big storm of the New Year? Yes. On Tuesday and Wednesday, | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
that will be in Chicago. And there could be a massive snow event on | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Thursday and Friday in land. Across the high ground, we will have | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
coverage as it becomes available. Thank you. Overseas, dramatic new | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
images after two terrorist attacks in Russia just weeks before the | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Winter Games. This new video shows the first attack the moment a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
suicide bomber strikes while at the metal detectors of a train station. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
The explosion tears through the station. Images of the aftermath. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Victims were blown right out of the train station. And then dozens of | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
people were killed when another person struck, this time targeting a | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
us. -- bus. Today, Olympic security officials were poring over the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
chilling surveillance tape from Volgograd. This chilling video shows | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
two suspects at the train station security checkpoint just before the | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
suicide bomb was detonated on Sunday. In six weeks, this will be a | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
busy harbour for athletes and spectators heading to the Olympics. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
It indicates they were looking to derail a train in transit. With a | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
second attack this morning, there are now 31 people dead and dozens | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
more injured. Almost all were innocent civilians including | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
children. There have been no claims of responsibility. Many US officials | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
are convinced that the attacks can be traced back to this man. He is | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
the ruthless leader of an Islamist group which has called the Olympic | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Games Satanic and has vowed to stop them. They have been in operation | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
for a long time. They are ready for battle. The location of the Winter | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Games is 400 miles away from the attack. President Vladimir Putin has | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
promised airtight security. The mayor of Sochi has told me this | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
month that he has no worries about terrorism. Many US officials do not | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
share that confident viewpoint. Some say that the Russians have failed to | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
fully cooperate with American security teams assigned to protect | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
the 235 US athletes who will come here. The US will be sending small | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
teams of armed security personnel to Sochi to protect American athletes | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
but today, the White House said there was a need for closer | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
cooperation, which is diplomatic speak. Being so difficult. -- | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
speak. Being so difficult. It's looking more likely that they will | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
have to launch an air evacuation in the Antarctic to rescue dozens of | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
trapped passengers on board a Russian science vessel. Tonight, | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
eyes in this guy over that trap ship in the Antarctic. 74 passengers have | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
been told they may have to abandon ship. -- eyes in the sky. You can | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
see how far of the sea ice really is. This is the Australian | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
icebreaker trying to tear through miles of thick ice. You can hear it | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
crunching. But overnight, with just a few miles to go, the rescuers were | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
forced to turn back. It's blowing snow. Punishing weather and heavy | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
ice has put the mission on hold. It's a disappointing day but | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
hopefully, the icebreakers will get in tomorrow. It may be too late. The | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
Australian and authority says that the tourists and researchers on | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
board will likely have to be airlifted by the Chinese helicopter | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
waiting at the edge of the sea ice. And believe it or not, it's actually | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
some are down there. It turns out there is an abnormal amount of sea | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
ice full stop tonight, new word from the State Department after our | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
interview with the family of an American father and grandfather held | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
captive by Al-Qaeda. A spokesperson from the State Department says they | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
have called on the people holding him to release him. Tonight, the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
family have spoken out on the newest video of their loved one. We are | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
determined to get him home. This is the family of an American father and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
grandfather believed to be held captive by Al-Qaeda. Today, the | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
State Department says the US has called on Al-Qaeda to release him | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
immediately and return him to his family. This video is all that they | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
have. It has a message to his family. I think about each and every | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
one of them every moment of every day. This is the first proving more | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
than one year that the man is alive. He was working as a consultant in | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Pakistan, helping build the local economy when gunmen stormed his | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
apartment and took him captive. When he looked into that camera and said | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
he has been abandoned... And forgotten. I wanted to die right | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
there on the spot because he has no idea how hard we have tried to get | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
him back. This thing is that I always take him to the airport and I | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
always pick him up. He sees my lip begin to quiver and he says, please | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
don't cry. That is the last time I saw him. How hard has it been trying | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
to explain it to your children where their grandfather is? It was the | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
hardest thing ever. They ask if he will be home for their birthday. How | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
do you answer that? It's such a terrible thing to have to... | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
(SOBBING). Excuse me. They have to wonder if they grandfather is OK. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
She told us the story of her son, a toddler, who had figured out how to | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
get on Skype with his grandfather before the governmental game. He was | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
talking to his grandfather. Now the only way to see him is through this | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
video. I just want to tell him how much I miss him. (SOBBING). I want | :10:43. | :10:54. | |
to tell him that I love him and I think about him every day. | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
We turn to a big medical headline for millions of Americans. Sweeping | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
new guidelines, anyone who has been a heavy smoker, will want to pay | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
attention to eat tonight. It is calling for CT scans. How big a deal | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
is this? It is a big deal. Number -- lung cancer is the number one | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
killer. Annual CT scanning of the right people will save some lives. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
But I always thought they were dangerous. They are. It is limited | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
to those who are the heaviest smokers. People who are over 55 and | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
who smoked a packet a day for over 30 years. Tomorrow is New Year's | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Eve. This is the time for all smokers to improve their health. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
Now to the race car legend in critical condition. Michael | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Schumacher, now in a coma after an accident on the ski slopes. But he | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
was conscious after the accident. The window of time after a skiing | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
for when a loved one may be worse off than anyone suspects. | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
Skiing the French Alps on Sunday, he fell, slamming his head on a rock, | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
severely injured but reportedly still conscious and moving, when he | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
reached a hospital 90 minutes later. It is extremely common for a person | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
to be in issues we awake after a head trauma. His condition rapidly | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
spiral, rushed into emergency surgery and put into a coma. Doctors | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
said that he would have surely died if he had not been wearing a | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
helmet. A record number of US skiers are now wearing them. One estimate | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
says up to 70%. An actress was not wearing a helmet in 2009 when she | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
hit her head skiing. She felt fine at first, then she was rushed to | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
hospital in the next day, where she died. You are safer. Doctors say | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
that if you hit your head while skiing, even if you are wearing a | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
helmet and feel fine, get it checked out. Your brain could be starting to | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
swell or bleed. As he hangs on to life, doctors say it is the helmet | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
that is giving him a fighting jams. -- Johns. There is still much more | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
ahead. The traffic lights that are still recording your every move. | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
What they are now revealing. Could they be making some intersections | :13:28. | :13:27. | |
more dangerous? There is growing controversy over | :13:28. | :14:46. | |
these traffic light cameras that record you as you drive underneath | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
them. New video of what they capture and some wonder if they are making | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
anyone any safer. Smashed, crashed, and crushed. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Drivers and the disastrous effects of running red lights caught on | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
camera. More than 700 people die in the US every year. In response, over | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
500 communities in 25 states have turned to cameras like this one, to | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
catch and deter the offenders. Just the presence of one of these cameras | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
has been found to reduce red light running by 40%. But they are still | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
not without controversy. Opponents say that while they decrease deadly, | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
so-called T-bone collisions, drivers are more likely to slam on the | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
brakes when they see a camera to avoid paying a fine, increasing less | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
serious but still dangerous rear end collisions. I would take every end | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
crash every day. Some states are turning to a different solution. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Longer yellow lights to give drivers more caution, but experts said the | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
best way to stay safe is to be prepared to stop. | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
Finally tonight, a little more than 24 hours, we will be preparing for | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
the big countdown. What a year it was. Our journey from all of you. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
From Boston Strong, to the strongest little superhero. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
It was a beautiful and proud day in Boston. Then the first bomb hit. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Then the second one. Two home-made bombs ripping through the crowd at | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Everyone started running. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
It killed three, wounding nearly 300. The 26 -year-old, his younger | :16:30. | :16:42. | |
brother -- younger brother... And MIT police officer shot and killed. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
The older brother was killed as well. A Boston suburb in lockdown. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
The police moved in. They were saying, Boston pride, Boston | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Strong. America would soon turn to and the scene, Cleveland. A 911 | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
Court ten years in the making. Amanda Berry disappear ring at 16. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Making the brave call, 27 years old. Three women trapped inside, all | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
captured by Ariel Castro. He fathered a baby with Amanda. This is | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
the news that a community has been waiting for 14 years. We were dared | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
the day that Amanda Berry came home. Those young women survivors. There | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
has been some kind of crash at San Francisco International airport. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Incredibly, more than 300 people survived this, and Asiana Airlines | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
triple seven crashing. He landed far too short. Over my shoulder, you can | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
see the fuser large. In a cool twist of fate, one teenager survived the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
crash, only to be run over by first responder trucks. For the survivors | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
in Oklahoma, tearful reunions. Two elementary schools were wiped out. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
One of the teachers following her own instinct, brushing her students | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
into the bathroom. That brave teacher bringing us back to the | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
school. On that day that she will never forget, suddenly finding her | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
own son. There were prayers around the world this year or Catholics | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
waiting to meet their new pope. We are looking at the smoke billowing. | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
He took the name Pope Francis, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
known for his compassion for the poor. He even let this little boy | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
still the spotlight on stage. At summer 's end, a American suddenly | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
learnt that we were on the brink of war. Did the Syrian government use | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
chemical weapons against its own people? There was worldwide shock. | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
The children gasping for air. The US should take military action. Russia | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
stepping in, negotiating a deal with Syria to give up its chemical | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
weapons. 2 million refugees. We met so many children waiting to go home. | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
A sudden breakthrough elsewhere. Iran, and acting a new president. He | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
travelled to America to speak before the UN and speak on the phone with | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
President Obama. Beginning to curb pay run's nuclear programme, easing | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
the crippling sanctions. -- Tehran's. I believe we must test it. | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
One other victory this year for a different kind of superpower. In San | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Francisco, the caped Crusader gave a thumbs up to Little Miles, diagnosed | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
with leukaemia, granted a wish by make and wish. He wanted to be | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
Batman for a day. He told Miles the hat to go to work. The helicopters | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
overhead watching him save the day. The whole city was on in -- in on | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
it. Suddenly realising his power. Watch this. The same trademark | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
confidence that he showed us. A superhero just when we needed one. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
He saved the day and left as all smiling. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
I will see you first thing in the morning on good morning America. | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
From all of us, have a good day. If you are hoping that as 2013 turns | :20:42. | :20:58. | |
into 2014, they will be a change in the weather, a relief from all the | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
storms, you will have to think again. This forecast contains plenty | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
more wind and rain in the coming days. At times it will be heavy. The | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
winds will be gale | :21:11. | :21:11. |
