Scott: What is up?I am Scott Evans. It is Thursday, January 8th, and Channel One News starts right now.

First up, ashooting rampagein France yesterday has the country on high alert. Schools were closed and residents are in shock after what is being called the deadliest terror attack in France in decades.

Gunfire erupted in central Paris after masked gunmen stormed the offices of a newspaper yesterday. In home video, gunmen appear to execute an injured French policeman lying on the ground.

Witnesses say the gunmen stormed the editorial meeting of the Charlie Hebdo Weekly, killing four cartoonists including the chief editor. One cartoonist who survived the attack said the shooters spoke French fluently and claimed to be members of the terror group al-Qaeda.

Authorities say at least 12 people were killed, including two police officers.
Charlie Hebdo is a satirical newspaper which pokes fun at things like politics and religion.And has been a target before.
In 2011, the offices were firebombed after the newspaper printed an image of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed. Many Muslims consider that a great insult.
French police have made an arrest in the case.

Next up, a Connecticut teen who is diagnosed with cancer doesn't want treatment, but the state says too bad and she is getting it anyway. It is a fight scheduled to be heard by the state's Supreme Court today.

Casandra is a 17-year-old diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Doctors say chemotherapy could save her life, but she doesn't want the treatment and says she has her mother's support. Though she hasn't said why.
Josh Michtom: The reason doesn't matter. Once you have your right to your body, you can exercise it for any reason.
Scott: But Casandra doesn't have the right to her body because she is not 18 years old.
Cassandra appealed, and now the Connecticut Supreme Court is hearing the case. Its ruling could impact what kinds of decisions teens can make about their bodies.
And last up, a time capsule buried for more than 200 years in Boston finally got cracked open to reveal some prettyawesome artifacts.

It is the oldest time capsule to be found inAmerica at 220 years old. Two centuries older than this young man, Paul Revere IV.

Paul's great, great, great, great, great, grandfather, yeah that’s five greats, was the Paul Revere.
In 1795, the Revolutionary War hero and the Governor Samuel Adams placed the box in the Massachusetts Statehouse.
It was dug up once and reburied and then rediscovered last month. When they cracked it open Tuesday night, they found five folded newspapers and two dozen coins, some from the 1650's.
It will be on display at the Museum of Fine Arts for the public.
That's going to do it for headlines. Now coming up, if you think using your fingerprint for your devices will keep them safe from high-tech threats, think again.
You can now use your fingerprint to access things like your phone, making your personal security safer, right? Well Keith Kocinski shows us that might not be the case.

Keith: These may just be simple photos of some of today's biggest celebrities, but for some hackers it is valuable information right at their fingertips. These high-resolution photos with clear views of hands and fingers could be used to recreate a fingerprint.

Jan Krissler, a hacker in Berlin, Germany claims to have done just that. Krissler says he was able to take these pictures of German Defense Minister, Ursula Von der Leyen, zoom in on her fingerprints, and reproduce them using software that is easy to get.

Krissler: The whole security of the system relies on keeping something secret that isn’t secret because you show it all around everytime.
Keith: Krissler says there are serious flaws insecurity when using fingerprints called biometrics. Krissler used the iPhone 5s as a test, successfully unlocking one at a hackers conference by recreating a "dummy finger," using glue to make a mold from a photocopied fingerprint.He says fingerprints are even less secure than passwords because once they are stolen, they can't be changed.

The list of devices with fingerprint scanners continues to grow. Many new smartphones and laptops use them instead of passwords. You can even find fingerprint scanning locks to use for your school locker.

Experts say the information collected from fingerprints can be worth millions of dollars. Security experts say fingerprints should not replace passwords but instead be used as a second layer of protection. Still, celebrities may be in more danger than most of us.
Kevin Mandia: It is not a scalable attack against general people. This would be a very targeted thing. You have somebody, their photos are publicly available, they're an important person and the rewards outweigh the risks.
Keith: Companies are trying to cash in, offering extra levels of protection to keep consumers safe. These include a scanner that identifies a person by the veins in their fingers or a smartphone that scans user's eyes to gain access.
With the evolving threat of hack attacks, it can be hard to put your finger on what to prepare for next.
Keith kocinski, Channel One News.

Scott: Thanks Keith.
Ok coming up next, it is a second chance for some troubled teens. But do they have what it takes to stick it out?

Joining us now is our newest member of Channel One, Arielle Hixson. So welcome to the team.

Arielle: Thank you so much, Scott.

Scott: And you are working on some pretty cool stuff.

Arielle: Yes. Well, our partners at CBS News followed some teens that just didn't fit the traditional high school experience. Let's just say they needed some direction and some strict ground rules. Here's their story.

This 4am wake-up call is like nothing these teenagers have ever heard.

It is called, "shark attack."
Day one for these 16 to 18-year-old high school dropouts.

It is designed to set the tone and structure. And let these rebellious teenagers know who is in charge.
Over 200 students are here at the Sunburst Youth Academy, each battling their own set of problems, drugs, alcohol, and even gang life. All of them are desperate for help.
Ceasar: I feel like the day I turned 13 Idecided to become a careless teenager, and the day I turned 14 I became a delinquent.

I got into seven fights my freshman year and then three fights my sophomore year, and I was on the thin line of getting arrested and expelled at the same time.
Hopkins: When someone tells you something so many times you start to believe it. They always say that sticks and stones don’t break your bones but words will never hurt you. It’s so not true. Words hurt more than anything, especially if it’s by someone you love.
Arielle:Their last chance at a second chance began in July.Dropped off by parents or guardians, sometimes afriend or neighbor, each of them has volunteered to be here.
Saying goodbye wasn't easy for 16-year-old Francisco Lazo's mother, Cynthia.
Cynthia: It breaks my heart, but it’s for the best. I'm sure he'll come out a different person. I mean, he's a great kid. He just needs help.
Lazo: It was really tough. It’s hard to say goodbye. I didn’t really see it as a sad goodbye. I saw it more as a good goodbye, but they were tears of joy.

Arielle:They are split up into platoons; two male, two female.

For the next five and a half months they will be told when to eat, sleep and go to school. No access to social media, television or contact with the outside world.
Angel: This is hard core. If I can do this, then I can leave here and I can get what I need to get done. That’s going to be the most amazing feeling, knowing that I can actually do this.

Arielle: Ok, next week we will check back to see how they are doing.And you guys can get tips on staying motivated by heading to ChannelOne.com.
Scott: Thanks so much, Arielle. Staying motivated is the key! And on that note, we are out of time today. I am Scott Evans.

Arielle: I am Arielle Hixson.

Scott: And we will see you right back here tomorrow.
