That's all for me for tonight. Mike and we will be here at two o'clock.

:00:00.:00:00.

Now it is time for ABC world news with Diane Sawyer.

:00:00.:00:13.

Welcome to world news. New Year, new store. Temperatures plummeting below

:00:14.:00:16.

zero and more than a foot of snow in some places. Our extreme weather

:00:17.:00:23.

team in all of it all. Barbara Bush taken to the hospital with doctors

:00:24.:00:31.

now say. And the new diet you have never heard of. Any trick yourself

:00:32.:00:38.

into eating less just beating the other hand? -- by eating weeds. --

:00:39.:00:53.

with. Diane is back tomorrow night and not

:00:54.:00:58.

a moment too soon. The monster storm is moving across large part of a

:00:59.:01:03.

country tonight. Blizzard warnings, look at this. This is the scene from

:01:04.:01:09.

Chicago is our port. Low visibility of council nearly 300 flights. It

:01:10.:01:16.

has caused widespread delays. Driving is not any easier, the

:01:17.:01:21.

streets are taken snow. With all this snow comes the frigid

:01:22.:01:26.

temperatures. Temperature is below zero in parts of Wisconsin. Just as

:01:27.:01:32.

the storm hit, firefighters tackled a fire in Minneapolis. Several

:01:33.:01:37.

people are in critical condition. We have coverage of it all, beginning

:01:38.:01:46.

with Chicago. We've just arrived and we saw that

:01:47.:01:50.

airport and that runway. Take a look at how much snow has already fallen

:01:51.:01:55.

here. So much of the nation is seeing whether just like this. 2014

:01:56.:02:09.

bringing in a bone chilling blast of weather, they can look as fireworks

:02:10.:02:23.

put out a massive blaze. The water used by firefighters quickly turned

:02:24.:02:29.

to ice because of the extreme cold. Under the contingencies we had

:02:30.:02:34.

today, we've done very well. People trapped in the building were forced

:02:35.:02:41.

to jump out of windows from the fire. At least six of people are

:02:42.:02:45.

critical, many people waiting for help on the icy sidewalks covered in

:02:46.:02:50.

blankets. Danger in Indiana as snow covering roads made conditions

:02:51.:02:53.

slippery, wet and difficult for drivers. In the north-east, blizzard

:02:54.:02:58.

conditions are expected at the New England coast. Stores in Vermont are

:02:59.:03:04.

quickly running out of salt to battle as. The next shipment arrives

:03:05.:03:11.

next week. One day after ringing in the New Year, cruise in New York at

:03:12.:03:15.

cleaning up a ton of confetti in below freezing temperatures. The

:03:16.:03:18.

city is now expected to be hit by up to eight inches of snow. Here in

:03:19.:03:26.

Chicago we have already seen a personnel and much more expected

:03:27.:03:28.

tomorrow. Thanks. That stormers quickly moving

:03:29.:03:34.

east and we are talking about possible blizzard conditions. Here

:03:35.:03:43.

is our meteorologist. What are we looking at?

:03:44.:03:50.

It will grab moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and move of the Atlantic,

:03:51.:03:54.

where it will create a very large system, driving snow all the way

:03:55.:03:58.

back through the great Lakes. It is really cold. Frigid outbreak a, look

:03:59.:04:07.

at these high temperatures over the next few days.

:04:08.:04:12.

You are telling me that we are talking about a lot of snow.

:04:13.:04:19.

Yes, always in Nebraska to the north-east. Some places could pick

:04:20.:04:23.

up as much as a foot or a foot and a half of snow. Adding to that, very

:04:24.:04:30.

strong winds. Blizzard conditions, dangerous conditions.

:04:31.:04:35.

In Texas tonight doctors are keeping a close watch over Barbara Bush, the

:04:36.:04:43.

former first lady. She is said to be doing quite well under the

:04:44.:04:48.

circumstances. The latest from the Bush family

:04:49.:04:51.

spokesperson is that the former first Lady is in good spirits and

:04:52.:04:54.

taking business from relatives at this used in hospital. The same

:04:55.:05:00.

hospital were her husband, President George HW Bush, was struggling with

:05:01.:05:03.

a serious case of bronchitis last year. They see the 88 -year-old came

:05:04.:05:11.

in with early signs of pneumonia. She has a big, big heart. Friends

:05:12.:05:16.

report that the doctors have given her an excellent prognosis. She is a

:05:17.:05:21.

tough old gal who will out the bus all. -- at -- outlive us. To say she

:05:22.:05:38.

is beloved is an understatement. And now to see that same fellow that are

:05:39.:05:42.

used to drive around in car pools and he yellow to please pick up, to

:05:43.:05:50.

see him as president is amazing. No word yet on when she might be

:05:51.:06:03.

heading home. We are told she watched the football

:06:04.:06:13.

from her room in hospital. Back in New York tonight the big clean-up

:06:14.:06:17.

from the new year's party in Times Square with someone new in charge, a

:06:18.:06:24.

new year, a new mayor. Bill de Blasio sworn in my former President

:06:25.:06:29.

Bill Clinton outside a very chilly City Hall.

:06:30.:06:34.

With the new year comes new laws as well and one led to major lines

:06:35.:06:37.

today for the first time you can buy marijuana legally in parts of

:06:38.:06:41.

Colorado, purely for recreational use. Tonight there's already talk of

:06:42.:06:46.

shortages and a different kind of after-effect - new jobs. Have your

:06:47.:06:53.

IDs ready. They lined up before dawn. We drove 17 hours to get. Some

:06:54.:06:59.

sleeping in their cars. Well it is a historical event. For a chance to be

:07:00.:07:03.

early through the door at one of the world's very first recreational

:07:04.:07:09.

marijuana shops. Even in Amsterdam it is toll -- tolerated but

:07:10.:07:14.

technically illegal. Scoring weed now as easy as buying coffee. Your

:07:15.:07:23.

total is $59. Anyone over 21 can buy it helping fuel a Colorado green

:07:24.:07:27.

rush. In the first year alone sales are predicted to hit nearly $400

:07:28.:07:33.

million. This room is filled with about 25 different strains of

:07:34.:07:39.

cannabis. Shop owner Tony foks is expanding and hiring. Today she has

:07:40.:07:43.

nine employees. By the end of January we should have about 30.

:07:44.:07:47.

Matt brown started a company for pot tourists. He has 4,000 people on a

:07:48.:07:51.

waiting list. This is legal, this is real and douk this and have a good

:07:52.:07:54.

vacation and go home and not get in trouble. But not everyone is on

:07:55.:07:59.

board. Marijuana is still a federal crime. There are worries about

:08:00.:08:04.

increasing teen pot use and driving while high. Even ski resorts here

:08:05.:08:10.

worried about a family-friendly image are warning stoners to stay

:08:11.:08:16.

off the slopes. Here in public it is illegal Are your receipts. Others

:08:17.:08:21.

states are now watching to see how this experiment works out as

:08:22.:08:26.

marijuana moves from underground to mainstream. Thank you. A break in a

:08:27.:08:30.

national case tonight - a banker wanted by the FBI for $20 million of

:08:31.:08:35.

wire fraud. He vanished after staging his own suicide in 2012.

:08:36.:08:39.

Tonight he has been found. Look at the before and after photos, showing

:08:40.:08:47.

the 47-year-old, stopped by police in Georgia on a minor traffic

:08:48.:08:51.

violation. He is now facing questions in connection with that 20

:08:52.:08:56.

million dollar fraud scheme. Weeks now before American and the

:08:57.:09:02.

looets the terrorist attacks. Vladimir Putin has travelled to the

:09:03.:09:06.

site of those blasts and sent a message to Russia and the world.

:09:07.:09:13.

President Vladimir Putin arrived in Volgograd before dawn to pay his

:09:14.:09:16.

respects to the dead and wounded of this week's two suicide bombings

:09:17.:09:21.

that killed 34. TRANSLATION: There can be no

:09:22.:09:25.

justification for crimes against civilians. The attacks have shaken

:09:26.:09:34.

Russia and the world ahead of next month's Sochi Winter Olympics. He is

:09:35.:09:39.

trying to quell those fears, vowing to annihilate the terrorists who

:09:40.:09:43.

threatened the games and tried to disrupt them. They may be soft

:09:44.:09:48.

targets but closer to the actual Olympic site. It will be virtually

:09:49.:09:52.

impossible to cover all of it. The US is working closely with the

:09:53.:09:55.

Russians and will play a key role during the games collecting and

:09:56.:09:59.

sharing intelligence. US diplomatic security will be on the ground

:10:00.:10:01.

co-ordinating with the authorities, but at the end of the day it is the

:10:02.:10:06.

Russian's show. And back here at home this evening, after so much

:10:07.:10:10.

reporting on that security breach for shoppers at target, tonight a

:10:11.:10:13.

new concern over your information. It involves 4 million users of what

:10:14.:10:20.

is called snap chat. Quick messages and images sent on your smartphone

:10:21.:10:23.

and then disappear. If haven't heard of it chances are your kids have and

:10:24.:10:26.

now comes a warning about user names and phone numbers on those accounts.

:10:27.:10:31.

Some of them are now posted on the internet. That embarrassing picture

:10:32.:10:36.

you take on the social app snapchat ten seconds after viewing it, but

:10:37.:10:41.

the information on your account stays president. And an anonymous

:10:42.:10:45.

hacker or group has exploited that, uploading to the internet the user

:10:46.:10:48.

names and offering up the phone numbers of an estimated 4. 6 million

:10:49.:10:54.

snapchat users. The biggest danger is stalking, I think, and you can

:10:55.:10:57.

see how something like this could lead to some bad results. Making the

:10:58.:11:01.

security breach even worse, many users tend to have the same user

:11:02.:11:07.

name for multiple apps like Facebook and Twitter. Snapchat is a sharing

:11:08.:11:12.

app, so popular with kids that Facebook want today buy it for $3

:11:13.:11:17.

billion an offer the two young owners turned down. It is unclear

:11:18.:11:21.

whether the security breach will affect the company's value. Snapchat

:11:22.:11:26.

says it has recently counter-measures will continue to

:11:27.:11:28.

make improvements to combat spam and abuse. It is a wake-up call we keep

:11:29.:11:34.

getting tour 20 years now and we keep hitting the snooze button. This

:11:35.:11:40.

security firm said it discovered the problem back in August, but when it

:11:41.:11:45.

told snapchat the company responded it was a "Non-issue". Seeing double

:11:46.:11:48.

tonight, the wonder twins that have become a viral sensation this

:11:49.:11:51.

evening - you've got to hear the story behind these little ones.

:11:52.:13:03.

Our first instant indecks from the new year and we remember a face you

:13:04.:13:10.

will recognise from the fresh principles of Belair. James Avery

:13:11.:13:14.

passed sfla loss anxiety from complications due to heart surgery.

:13:15.:13:21.

He was 68-year-olds. With the big storm hitting Chicago in the

:13:22.:13:25.

bullseye some are not complaining there. Jewellery store owner there

:13:26.:13:32.

promising to refund all jewellery purchases, making the promise if you

:13:33.:13:36.

bought it over the holiday and it snowed more than 3 inches on New

:13:37.:13:40.

Year's Day he would pay it back. Well, up to 35 inches have fallen

:13:41.:13:44.

and he says his business will pay up. And after a night of heavy

:13:45.:13:49.

partying, perhaps you are seeing double today but for two moms it had

:13:50.:13:55.

nothing to do with that, but check this out. A mom gave birth to twins

:13:56.:14:00.

one just before midnight and one right after. The baby in the pink

:14:01.:14:05.

hat was born just before midnight and her brother, in the blue hat, a

:14:06.:14:11.

2014 baby. These little baby girls in Toronto, the one on the left born

:14:12.:14:19.

at 11. 52 and her sister arriving 28 seconds into 2014. And we are

:14:20.:14:23.

wondering what one might say to the other, tweet us your captions.

:14:24.:14:27.

Finally we've heard the saying a new year, a new you and easier said than

:14:28.:14:32.

done what it comes to our weight. But can a novel idea of switching

:14:33.:14:37.

the hands you eat with trick your mind into eating less? American

:14:38.:14:45.

movie-goers love their popcorn but those mindless handfuls can really

:14:46.:14:51.

add up. So how can you snack less without going snackless? To show you

:14:52.:14:55.

secret we invite add group of people to a movie theatre. Everyone in the

:14:56.:14:58.

theatre was right-handed so we asked half the group to grab their popcorn

:14:59.:15:04.

with their left hand. Our goal? To observe a concept key to changing

:15:05.:15:09.

mindless eating habits. Eating in a non-standard way, like eating with

:15:10.:15:13.

your non-dominant hand, makes you think about what you are. Sure

:15:14.:15:17.

enough, when the lights went up we saw a real difference. If I had it

:15:18.:15:21.

in this hand it would have been easier to just snack. Let's see how

:15:22.:15:29.

you did. We weighed the bags and found those eating with the

:15:30.:15:34.

non-dominant hand eat a sixth less, which means over the quarter of the

:15:35.:15:39.

year they could lose 6lbs if they snacked like this. But it's not just

:15:40.:15:43.

about what food you eat. Take the Google office insist New York.

:15:44.:15:46.

Switching treats from a clear, easy to pull gravity bin, to containers,

:15:47.:15:52.

meant that over a seven-week period alone, Googlers consumed 3 million

:15:53.:15:58.

fewer calories - and that he is just from M Everyone sees these, they

:15:59.:16:04.

know they are, but they have to put in more effort. Some simple ways to

:16:05.:16:09.

trick yourself into a smaller size. That is World News tonight. And it

:16:10.:16:14.

wouldn't be a new year without Diane and she right back here tomorrow

:16:15.:16:16.

night. Goodnight. Hello, there won't be much let-up in

:16:17.:16:29.

all this wet and windy weather although having said that today will

:16:30.:16:32.

probably be the best day of the next few, certainly in terms of dryer and

:16:33.:16:36.

brighter weather
