the u.s. navy sank three houthi rebel boats on sunday. josh lederman is in tel-aviv good morning >> reporter: good morning. and happy new year this is a very volatile situation that is escalating very quickly the u.k.'s military is threatening to take direct military action against the houthis in yemen now, president biden is under a lot of pressure to do the same so the iran-backed houthis in yemen are saying they are targeting israeli ships in solidarity with the palestinia people, but they are attacked -- attacking the ships with no connection to israel four houthi ships attacked a container boat the u.s. navy sunk all three boats, killing everyone on board. this red sea crisis has been fueled by the israel-hamas war israel rang in the new year with a barrage of rockets from gaza that exploded in the skies here in tel aviv. hospital officials say dozens were killed yesterday in israeli

strikes in central gaza. israeli prime minister netanyahu has been warning the war will go on for many months, but he is also facing growing concern froa so that israelis should live there, but the jordanians and egyptians have said that is unreasonable. and the palestinians say they will not be displaced. >> thank you, josh. meanwhile, revelers from coast to coast stayed up past their bedtimes to ring in the new year. and now we go to george soli good morning. >> reporter: hey, joe. good morning happy new year to you. the clean up all but done this hour, still under way in some pockets here it was quite a night of celebration. more than a million revelers packing times square for this annual tradition around the world, there were amazing displays of lights and

that's a look at your news and weather. now back to you in 1a. happy new year. >> all right, joe. thank you very much. on this first day of the year, we are looking ahead to what you can expect in 2024. we brought in experts to cover everything from your health to your money to entertainment. but let us start with politics the first contest in the presidential race now just two weeks away kristin welker is moderator of "meet the press. good morning happy new year. >> happy new year. good to see you. >> this is the year. 2024, we have been talking about it the presidential race, we'll have the first votes cast in a few weeks now. where do things stand on the republican side? >> it's a great question, savannah things stand with former president donald trump solidifying his lead as the gop frontrunner. we have seen nikki haley, ron desantis really duke it out for second place but trump still seems to have the momentum, despite his indictments, despite some of his really controversial language. so i think here is the big

question that we're watching for in 2024: does the field start to narrow and whenn't have a good showing, do you look at dropping out? i will be looking at the you have to think, if you are a chris christie, vivek ramaswamy, if you don't have a chance in the early states, you may drop out. if christie drops out, does he endorse haley? it could make a difference around the edges, but trump is heading into 2024 strongly >> a lot of people thought if i could just get to a one-on-one with former president trump, then we have a chance. right now it seems as if he's got a lock on this. >> it does and that scenario you talk about, that one-on-one just hasn't materialized. guess when we saw this the last time in 2016 when it was a crowded field and it paved the way for former president trump in the primary, we have seen his four indictments, the fact he hasn't participated in any of the four debates only helped to solidify his lead.

what happens as we get later into the season, though? his court cases will start, including in march, the day before super tuesday, he has, potentially, a big court case about his election interference. could that start to make a difference with moderate independent voters if he is the nominee? >> let's talk about president biden. he's the incumbent he has all those advantages. but polls show him neck in neck in the general election matchup, a rematch of 2020 with donald trump. >> that's right. democrats are on fire heading into this new year in the form of the polling that you just mentioned. the fact that president biden is trailing former president trum in some of the key battleground states and with some of his key groups, savannah with black voters, latino voters, younger voters what needs to happen obviously, there are concerns about his age. there are also concerns about the economy. yes, inflation has gotten better, but americans say they don't feel it. i'm told he may shift his strategy, draw a sharper contract to president trump in

the new year and talk about the economy differently. >> happy new year. appreciate it. hoda, over to you. a new year means a new chapter for the economy.h the economy and what about the new year of 2024. and christine romans is here. break it down in english. and the word recession kept coming up and here it come, and what is going to be? >> 2023 was supposed to be the year of the recession, but it is th 2023 was full of unexpect resilience you start this new year with the resilience still, you know, the wind in our sails here for the economy. inflation is going down, but it is still above the fed's 2% target interest rates are still something we will be closely watching this year the fed raised interest rates all last year. there are three things that could happen they could do nothing and keep rates high here. they could cut rates later in the year if the economy starts to slow. if they get spooked about inflation, rates could raise

again. >> what about the housing market, what do you expect for 2024 >> a lot of it depends on the fed and those interest rates but most people i talk to think you are going to unfreeze this frozen market. first-time home buyers have not been able to get in. most people have a mortgage under 5%, so they're not going to get a mortgage at 8% if they don't have to. that will probably loosen up this year. you can probably see mortgage rates drift down a little bit here the national association of realtors expects home sales to pick up. we're expecting the frozen housing market to thaw a bit >> let's talk about the stock market pull out the tea leaves. people may invest in it. or maybe their retirement is invested in it. what are your thoughts on that >> yeah, we're all exposed to it because even if you are not a big investor, you probably look at a company that is looking at what happens to its stock. last year was a very good year for the stock market, defying all of the recession odds. something like 18% or 19% in the s&p 500.

on average it's usually like 10% a year, so it was a very good year in the stock market i think you'll watch tech and artificial intelligence. of the economy. >> and lastly, job market, the numbers are very goo >> a lot of investment and excitement around that part of the economy. >> let's talk about the job market those numbers have been pretty good for 2023. you expecting that to continue >> they have been good but slowing. that's been -- it's like a goldilocks situation it is strong but cooling it is exactly what the federal reserve wanted to see. it was raising those interest rates to try to cool things down in the economy, to cool off that inflation, so a slowing jobs market is what you want to see you don't want it to stop or stall here, so we will watch that closely last year, about more than 2.5 million jobs created in any given year, that would be very, very good. you probably won't see that this year, but it will still be robust. >> i know you will be following all of it. christine romans, happy new year savannah, over to you. >> okay. we will move on to your health now 2023 was a big year for medical breakthroughs.

so what to expect this year. for that answer, we welcome in medical contributor dr. natalie azar, who brought her crystal ball this morning. hello. >> yeah. >> we know what the 2023 story was, weight loss drugs. >> yeah. >> how do you expect this to go forward? i mean, i can assume they'll continue to be popular >> the story will continue through 2024 jpmorgan, the end of last november, gave us a forecast for the industry that is going to exceed $10 billion by the end of this decade. so we're watching a couple of things one really important one is will these medications, ozempic, will they be available in pill form there are a lot of people needlw phobic just this past december, pfizer pulled one of its oral candidates because people couldn't tolerate it they'll still working on another one that's once a day. both lily and nordis have two of their candidates in late stage clinical trials in pill form

the other thing we're watching with this is cost and perception cost, as we know, is incredibly high the drug makers want to change the perception that these medications are only for cosmetic purposes. they really want to demonstrate they reduce cardiovascular risk, leading to a change in private insurance coverage, and people can access these for much, much less than they're going for with the market prices. >> pill form would probably be cheaper, too >> to manufacture, you got it. >> you are expecting breakthroughs in dementia. >> yes we talk about the treatment of alzheimer's all the time 6.5 million people live with alzheimer's. the projection is that number will double. we have a new medication that you take twice a month the same maker of that medication has the same candidate drug in subcutaneous injection form that will transform the market if that can be available there are other drugs in the market nearing that end stage where we really want to see

outcomes these are medications reducing amyloid plaque in the brain and showing a lot of promise. fingers crossed we get new approvals this year, as well >> i have about a minute i want to get to this. cancer vaccines. >> last year we had a big boom for cancer vaccines in melanoma. there was a moderna and merck vaccine that showed taking this cancer vaccine in addition to standard of care reduced the recurrence and death in melanoma by about 44% we have another mrna vaccine for pancreatic cancer and other cancer vaccines for o'vvarian ad head and neck. it is changing the landscape of cancer treatment >> yeah. and christine mentioned a.i. >> the fda approved 350 software programs for ai. the american medical association released a report for equity, transparency guidelines for ai.

we know that ai can absolutely enhance diagnostic accuracy, patient outcomes but there needs to be governance and this is what the medical for, and it can translate into big advancements for patients and providers as well. >> natalie, happy new societies are hoping for certainly, we hope it will, you know, translate into big advancements for patients and pro providers, as well >> happy new year. >> happy new yeaar to you, as well >> craig, to you. >> all right, savannah thank you. 2024 going to be a big and busy one in the world of sports. a lot of big events to look forward to, including, of course, the paris olympics here to break it all down is the busiest man in sports, mike tirico >> happy new year. good to see you, pal. >> happy holidays to you so let's start there first olympic since the pandemic huge for our company, of course, as well. what can folks expect? >> paris, we'll just start there. we'll have all the stars of the team usa but paris will be one of the stars. we will have a lot of the events

happening at the icon spots. the eiffel tower we can go on and on. paris will be one of the stars, and we need that for the games. >> terms of the athletes themselves, it would seem as if the g.o.a.t. is going to be back simone biles will be there i know at her age she is considered elderly in gymnastics but it seems like she's probably been the best she's ever been. >> young for the best of us. but simone is married to jonathan owens who plays for the green bay packers. watching them play earlier, i visited with simone. she's excited about the comeback in 2023 and the chance after tokyo, which didn't go the way she had hoped, to maybe go out in the style that the greatest of all time should go out, winning gold medals. she'll have a great chance. looked good at the worlds in 2023 >> gymnastics will have simone the pool looks like we'll have katie ledecky again. an and caeleb dressel. >> he dipped his toe in the

water. but the katie ledecky story is so good. she's been so good for so long if she wins the gold in the 800 meter and she's the favorite, then she'll win that event four times. gold medal four times in the same event no woman has ever done that int there, and kat the history of the olympics. there is a lot of history out there for a lot of folks, katie at the top of the list >> team usa men's basketball we don't know the team just yet, but it seems as if we are going to have the dreamiest of dream teams in paris >> the re-dream team guys are talking lebron, i think, put out word very subtly, let's get the band back together. you may see lebron kevin durant, who we have seen before steph curry, who has never had the chance to play in the olympics but desperately wants to plus, the young players like joel embiid. the re-dream team may bring the band together for a little run in paris, which would be pretty sweet. >> before paris, of course, the super bowl >> yeah, that thing. >> coming up in a few weeks in february. >> yeah. >> vegas at this point in the season, it is hard to tell, but who does mike tirico like >> we've gone through a good

part of the season and seen the teams who can do it under pressure, on the road, in the super bowl the nfc, you're looking at san francisco, dallas, philadelphia. afc, baltimore, lamar jackson has a terrific season. the ravens, miami. but kansas city is close to your heart. i know how much your son loves mr. mahomes. >> yes. >> the chiefs have the pieces, no matter if they have to go on the road, to make the run. >> it'll be a good year. busy year. >> let's go. >> that's true still ahead here, with a fresh slate of vacation days for 2024, time to start planning the next trip perhaps. we will break down the hottest destinations and the hottest travel trends. plus, a lot for hollywood to be excited about this year, from the iconic franchises to superheros, animated fun for your whole family. all the films and shows that will be enjoyed in 2024. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.

have been one of our good news stories over the course of 2023, the gas prices in many cases, we're going down. >> yeah, they were, especially compared to 2022 when you talk about the paying for gas in projection for how much we're paying for gas in 2024, it is $3.61 per gallon that's according to the eia. that's about in line with what we saw in 2023 it is not really going up. it is not really going down. but the thing with gas prices is it's very volatile all it takes is one event overseas to make gas prices spike. we have seen a lot of people buy electric vehicles. good news on that front, evs are actually getting cheaper the average price is down about $13,000. that might be more on the luxury side there are things like the nissan leaf, the chevy bolt, which is under $30,000. >> some people are looking forward to 2024 as the year they retire they're looking forward to that. how does social security look? >> in 2024, for both those pulling from social security and those saving, the limits will be different. there is a cost of living adjustment that's done every year for the social security checks,

it is going up by 3.2% in 2024 that will equate to $55 extra per check, which will hopefully take some of the edge off inflation. then for the contributions for those putting money into retirement, the 401(k) limit is $23,000 for this year. ira is $7,000 per year but higher for those older than 50 as you start to plan out and put out the money from your paycheck into those retirement accounts, always good to know what the limits are this year. >> happy new year. happy you're here. >> you, too. we have a lot more to get to right happy new year to you. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we're getting started with some patches of fog around parts of the bay area, but then as we go into the afternoon, it's going to become mostly sunny and temperatures in the low 60s. nice start, but we also have rain ahead, and we're going to be tracking rounds of rain between tomorrow afternoon into wednesday, and maybe
