i hope you will join me. together we can work for the last heart attack. i'm dr. sanjay gupta. thanks for watching. all right 6:00 in the morning. why does it come so early and so fast. >> just sneaks up on us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. it is "new day sunday." today is the big game. super bowl xlviii. what was that? >> not just any old sunday, people. denver broncos versus seattle seahawks. i learned a little tidbid today, victor. denver is tied for the most losses at the super bowl and they can get out of that if they

win today. they are tied with minnesota vikings and buffalo bills as the worse losses. >> our resident football expert because you know more than i do. you know more than i do. metlife stadium. east rutherford, new jersey. i don't care who tells you the game is in new york. russell wilson for seattle and peyton manning for denver. here is another tidbit. manning just won the 2013 mvp award that happened last night. >> a lot of people are just waiting for the half-time show. bruno mars, red hot chili peppers performing. baltimore ravens still world champs for the next few hours. >> they earned it until, what, probably 8:00, 9:00 tonight. so, we'll talk more about the super bowl, but, first, for the governor of new jersey, who is

preparing for one of the most exciting sporting events of his career. this is how he spent the eve of the big game. watch. >> good afternoon, everybody. you already heard enough speeches. enough speeches of the same thing. i want to tell everybody out there to tell you thank you very much to all our partners, the nfl, the team owners. look forward having you over to arizona, i was proud to be in new orleans last year. >> you heard them there, didn't you? governor chris christie with a lot of booze in the audience at a super bowl handoff ceremony. this was in times square. this comes as the governor's office launched an attack on "new york times" titled five things you should know about the bombshell that is not a bombshell. >> friday the "times" reported to the port authority seeking payment for legal fees and here's part of it.

evidence exists, as well, tying mr. chris christie to having knowledge of the lane closures. >> a lot of people suspect it was part of a political revenge scream. christie's response yesterday he woints points to this statement from january. >> i knew nothing about this until it was reported in the papers about the closure. even then, i was told this was a traffic study. >> christie's camp says this is the bottom line. david wildstein will do anything for his credibility. he was once an anonman blogger known as wally a. and created a culture of fear.

>> waldstein is only seeking immunity and he was subpoenaed by the new jersey legislature. >> christie's response they call it "sloppy reporting because the original report said wildstein had evidence it was later changed to said evidence exists." 'times" responded to that criticism saying it made dozens of changes it make the story more precise. new jersey will get a chance to set aside political scandals for at least a few hours today as it gets ready to celebrate as host of the super bowl. if you didn't get tickets because a lot of people who watch the game, clearly, they're not there. this may be the next best thing. super bowl boulevard in times square. a little early, a little dark, but it will be packed later today. >> today's top priority is

keeping thef fans inside metlife stadium safe. law enforcement taking every precaution here. you'll see extra police, security, bomb sniffing dogs. >> alexand rufield joins us now from new york live. alexandra, good morning. >> good morning, christi, victor. this is the day law enforcement officials have been working to prepa prepare for. try to address the unique set of challenges that this particular super bowl poses. we told you before, this is really the first mass transit super bowl. a lot of the stepped up security efforts will happen in the train stations. you may have noticed it state and federal agents have been working to secure the mass transit system and tsa deployed some of its special teams to train stations, including

behavioral detection officers. some 15,000 bags are expected to be screened at the train station which lets out just a few yards from metlife stadium. all ticket holders will arrive at the stadium will be undergoing very strict security measures, really airport-style screenings. they also know new bag restrictions in place this past football season. ticket holders can only carry very small bags. this is a big event for metlife stadium. they hosted high-profile events in the past back in the '90s but one security expert tells us this is the biggest security challenge that this stadium has ever taken on. >> it's tourism. i think that's paramount in everybody's mind and, you know, it's the preparation that's going into, you know, you know, knowing the challenges and knowing the intelligence that surrounds these games and the

sharing from state and local and national levels. so, i'm sure that's top of their priority list and then there's the day-to-day things that we need to be concerned about. obviously, the weather and the traffic challenges that this unique venue presents to us. >> along with all the security measures taken place on the ground, there will also be security up above the stadium. we're talking about a no-fly zone above the stadium. the faa has already work would some of the commercial carriers to work on their flight plans in order to have this flight restriction over the stadium this morning. >> alexandra field, a lot going on to make sure people are safe. thank you. we want to turn to a story now that exploded yesterday afternoon with a published open letter and, please, let me forewarn you that the details of this next story are graphic and not appropriate if you have children in the room, but i don't want you to be taken off guard here. it's tough to talk about.

just want you to be aware. for the first time, dillon farrow the adopted daughter of woody allen is breaking her silence. the allegations first came to light back in 1993 after farrow's mother split from allen. in an open letter published by "new york times" she asked leaders by saying, what is your favorite woody allen movie? after describing the abuse, which allen denied, she asked f aa to challenge one more time. dylan farrow speaking out for the first time and giving new details of alleged sexual assaults by the famed writer and director. in an open letter published in "new york times" blog she recounts an incident that she says happened in 1992. when i was 7 years old woody allen by took by the hand and

led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. he told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set. then he sexually assaulted me. he talked to me while he did it. whispering that i was a good girl and this was our secret, promising that we'd go to paris and i'd be a star in his movies." all of this played out as the 78-year-old allen was being honored by his peers at the golden globe awards in his latest film celebrated with three academy award nominations. tweeting, a woman has publicly detailed woody allen's molestation of her at age 7. golden globe tribute show ed contempt for her and all abuse

survivors. did they put a part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her before or after annie hallp? the couple separated after 12 years after allen was having an affair with her adopted daughter. which is now allen's wife. the same year she told her mother allen touched her inappropriately. allen denied the charges and according to "new york times" a team of medical investigators found no evidence of abuse. allen was never charged but it tainted his image for two decades. but dylan breaking her silence for, in her words, turning a blind eye by continuing to work with allen. he got away with what he did to me. haunted me as i grew up. i was stricken with guilt that i

just a very cold rain. we are picking up some of that sleet, freezing rain possibly just north of i-20 on the west side of dallas in ft. worth. most of the snow is to the north in the ohio valley, cleveland, indianapolis, getting some of that. cincinnati a cold rain for you and temperatures are going to stay cold in the south. 35 degrees right now in dallas. it will be dropping throughout the day. temperatures will be getting below freezing as we go through the late afternoon. but timing this out, it should be out of here by this afternoon and then pushing over towards the east as we get into monday morning. could see some showers for the southeast that does include atlanta and then off the east coast. looking like it's going to miss the northeast for the most part. the other big story this morning, fog, very dense fog across all of the southeast, visibility less than quarter of a mile anywhere from atlanta including alabama and most of the state of florida. guys? >> certainly foggy this morning in atlanta. jennifer, stick around, we're going to ask you to give us a

super bowl forecast. we know at least a 15 people are dead after a volcano kind of roared to live. it was spewing hot ash and debris into the air and racing down a mountainside. >> let's goakarta with more. >> the victims of the eruption were found within two miles from the volcano's crater. hot ash clouds with temperatures over 1,000 degrees fahrenheit traveled down the slope in just two to three minutes. many of the victims had no chance of surviving that. authorities have recovered most of the bodies, but there may be more casualties. it had been quiet for over 400 years until it came back to life in 2010.

super bowl sunday. you're watching the evolution of metlife stadium. metlife, of course, the stadium where the broncos take on the seahawks. super bowl xlviii tonight. this is east rutherford, new jersey. not new york. and this time, because, new jersey folks are really protective and want to make sure you know they're playing in jersey. this covers the time it took to build the stadium. april of '07 to march of 2010. >> all for this big game. jen gray has a look at the forecast for you. but we want to start with joe carter because joe has a busy day ahead of him. he gets paid to sit back and watch this game. >> i want to say congratulations to jen for getting this forecast for us today. last couple weeks all we talked about how bad the weather was going to be. it looks like it is going to be

great. thank you, jen. guys, super bowl picks real quick. victor, christi. >> i'm going with the broncos. >> i'm going with the broncos. tell him why. >> lili, the panda. i just remember the name. >> you are like many out there picking the broncos. two-point favorite. it's interesting because a couple weeks ago denver was a one-point underdog. things have shifted. yesterday was the last chance for both teams to really put the finishing touches on the game plan. both seattle and denver went to metlife stadium and they did the walk through. this is very customary and gives you a chance to take pictures and get a feel for the stadium and walk low the tunnel. seattle comes into this game with the best defense in the nfl. secondary. great nickname. a hard-hitting old school football at its finest. john fox has been to a super

bowl before. 2003 carolina panthers head coach. john elway, he's been to four super bowls with the broncos, he won two. this is like elway's '97/'98 team. peyton manning the driving force to that. most points, most passing yards in a single season. no surprise when peyton manning was named this season's most valuable player. matter of fact, guys, the fifth time peyton manning won this award. and last season, if you remember, he won the comeback player of the year award. come back from neck surgery and left the colts to join the broncos. this season he made it clear from game one the defending super bowl champion baltimore ravens, sorry, victor, but seven touchdowns. remember, that's how he set the tone for the whole season. seven touchdowns to start it off and a great season mvp award to cap it off and maybe a super

bowl tonight. first quarterback to win two super bowls with two different teams. >> joe being from denver, good luck. >> appreciate that, no luck needed. we got this. >> thanks for throwing in the little factoid about the ravens. let's go to jen, will the weather be kind to all the fans and the players. >> the weather will cooperate when you consider both teams are used to cold weather. seattle and denver, playing in the 40s. they are going to love it. temperatures will be around 49 degrees at 3:00 this afternoon. but then this evening as we're winding down and getting ready for kickoff. temperatures in the mid-40s. so, kickoff temperature 46 degrees. it will feel like 44 and not bad at all, considering it's the northeast and then as the game goes on, temperatures will be falling little by little by the end of the game. of course, temperatures will feel like the 30s and now winds aren't going to be much of a factor, as well. northwest wind 6 miles per hour and could be up to 10 at times. guys, we'll take it.

not going to be bad at all. >> all right, thank you so much, jen. governor chris christie is now attacking the credibility of one of his formal officials, former officials, rather. he's doing it by citing his high school social studies teacher.

offense goes head-to-head with seahawks number one defense. good news for players and fans of the game. temperatures expected to be in the low mid-40s in new jersey. tonight was supposed to be one of the most exciting sports in chris christie's career. he was even booed at a super bowl event. listen. >> good afternoon, everybody. you've already heard enough speeches. enough speeches of the same thing. i want to tell everybody out there to thank you very much. >> this comes as the governor's office battles new claims that "evidence exists that christie knew about lane closures at the bridge while they were happening." titled five things you should know about the bombshell that is not a bombshell. attacks the credibility of the

former official david wildstein who made the claims against christie. cites a hoy school social studies teacher and christie questions the so-called evidence. >> joining us to talk about this ben ferguson in new york and maria cardona a commentator in washington. good to have both of you. >> happy super bowl sunday. >> yes, you, too. >> it's a holiday. let's start with you, ben, since you spoke out first. in a statement to friend and allies slamming wildstein with examples from his high school social studies teacher. is this smart defense or a lame, personal swipe. >> you don't have to go that far back. this is a guy who pleaded the fifth when asked to turn over evidence and he basically said, i'm not speaking. his lawyer since day one when all this came out and he got busted and lost his job has been trying to get some sort of plea deal for immunity. i mean, that's the one thing

they have been consistently doing. now basically the claim is, there's evidence that may exist. we don't even know if it does exist. and, to me, you're looking at a guy that won't tell the truth, that won't answer questions, that won't talk but now says, well, there may be evidence. i really don't think this changes the story at all. if the governor knew something and he lied to the people of new jersey, yes, he's going to be in big trouble and it will ruin his presidential aspirations. i don't think this guy has got anything except for maybe there is something out there, so give me immunity. >> maria, i want you to respond to that. a lot of people looking at this thing as a whole saying i don't know who to trust because wildstein, ben pointed out, immunity and want him to pay his legal bills. can wildstein be trusted? >> that's exactly right, christi. the problem here is the perception. this continues a downward spiral

about the perception that christi actually did know more than he did. now, ben's absolutely right. we shouldn't trust wildstein at his word because he clearly has some motives here of his own. but at the same time, even in the response that the governor's office put out, they're changing the goal posts. what wildstein is saying and his lawyer is saying, the government knew about the lane closures while they were happening. in his press conference, the governor was very clear that he didn't know about the lane closures. didn't find out about them until days after when they were reported in the press. and what his office put out, they're now saying that he had no prior knowledge of the lane closures. so, right there, there's a lot of questions in people's minds, who can we trust. that's why he was booed at the event yesterday. that's why his poll numbers are plummeting. and the american people, you know, they have a lot of tolerance and can forgive, if

you are contrite and if you are honest from the very beginning. they can forgive a screw up. but what they won't forgive is if they are being screwed over. >> as of now, we have no information, not one single e-mail, not one document as of now when more than 2,000 have been gone through and investigative reporters and people that hate him in new jersey and democrats try to find any smoking gun. any link. not one thing as of this morning has linked him, when everyone's been trying to find it. so, i go back to this guy's motives. he desperately needs money for his legal defense because he doesn't want to go to jail. he pleads the fifth and asking for immunity and basically the only claim we have this morning is evidence may exist. to me, that means nothing at all from a guy that you can't trust that gotten in trouble that lied and may now go to jail. >> you know what, ben, you're absolutely right about everything you just said.

we will have to wait and see. the problem here, you know this very well, is that in politics, perception becomes reality. so, even though right now today there is no real smoking gun, there have been questions because of what christi himself has said. moving the goal posts in terms of knowing about while they were happening or before they were happening. the other issue is, he was very clear in his press conference that he doesn't know wildstein. a lot of people don't buy that because there is a lot of press reports about how close they were. there were a lot of press reports about how close he was with wildstein and the position at the port authority was created for him because he was such a close friend to the governor's and he was his eyes and ears at the port authority. so, again, this is the perception of the voters in terms of this downward spiral about what christi knew and didn't know.

>> last word to ben. go ahead. >> i think this is democrats wanting to destroy christi becau e because he is a huge threat for anyone running for president. he is a charismatic guy and they see an opportunity and as of this morning not one single document. when thousands of people are looking for it. when hundreds that want to end christie's career had the opportunity to nail him. >> perception is reality and christi has become your worst enemy. >> thank you so much. you saw that poll we posted up there the latest abc poll, the 2016 presidential election were today. 53% for clinton and 41% for christie. see if this continues to erode the numbers for christie. thank you, both. >> good to see you, thank you. still to come on "new day." we'll show you some of the pictures of the heart break in

an ongoing territorial dispute. a war was fought there 20 years ago and the republic of georgia continues to claim that territory. it's referred to as a frozen conflict. this is part of why security questions are such a big concern for russia's upcoming winter olympics here in sochi. back to you, christi. >> all right, thank you, ivan, so much. this is the question everyone is asking. after this winter and, no, we're not talking about the super bowl, but after this winter, how long is this going to stick around? >> only one person, i shouldn't even say person that has that answer. it's a groundhog. super bowl, but, people, did you realize it's groundhog day, too. whether we find out if winter will stick around or spring turn up early. did he see his shadow?

and the jerseys that we're wearing. so, there's your answer to that one. >> reporter: in omaha the answer has been not to fumble a good opportunity. to bring eyeballs to the city and its businesses. omaha is where i grew up and folks here are very proud of their city and are eager to show it off any time they get the chance. so, naturally, they are enjoying this moment in the spotlight courtesy of mr. manning. the omaha chamber of commerce estimates the attention provided $10 million in free advertising for the city. >> first off, just plain fun to hear your city being talked about over and over again. >> reporter: todd simon. yes, there is a relation. co-owner of omaha steaks. which has been in my family for five generations. one of eight companies that donated $100 each time peyton called out omaha during the afc championship game. union pacific and congara were among the other well-known businesses.

that's my prediction. >> i'll go 20. >> dan simon, thank you so much. all right. end of a pretty fun era at "snl." comedian seth myers saying good-bye. >> a lot of people saying good-bye in the entertainment industry right now. we'll show you last night's all-star sendoff, though. i don't just make things for a living i take pride in them. so when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis was also on display, i'd had it. i finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist.

and 4:00 out west. "new day sunday." this is the sunday a lot of football fans have been waiting for. super bowl xlviii. denver broncos against the seattle seahawks in east rutherford, new jersey. >> we have peyton manning and russell wilson and manning just won the 2013 mvp award last night not a lot of people football fans but fans of bruno ma mars. >> i wanted to highlight baltimore ravens won last year and for a few more hours they are the nfl world champions. >> he doesn't follow football -- >> i love baltimore. that's the team that has the trophy. that's the one i'm pulling for. >> the vince lombardi trophy made from sterling silver, just for all you ladies out there.

>> super bowl taking place in the home state of governor chris christie. this was supposed to be a fun, exciting, fun day for him. >> he's fighting back defending himself against the scandal over lane closures at the george washington bridge. want to bring in erin mcpike live in washington for us. what have you learned this morning? >> christi and victor, you're right. he wanted the huge media focus on the region's security of the super bowl to get him credit on the national stage and rebel in some of the glory of it. he still tried to do that on saturday. >> i was proud to be in new orleans last year to accept the handoff on behalf of the region and we look forward to hosting everybody in this group that's got a ticket over in new jersey tomorrow to watch the greatest sports spectacle in the world. >> but, once again, this weekend his administration was really fighting back against more of the unwelcomed leaks in this back story behind those lane

closures to the g.w. bridge that his staff conducted in september. through a lawyer that evidence exists christie knew about the closures while they were happening and interestingly, they went on offense saturday. cnn obtained an e-mail politico first reported that christi sent to his fans and supporters. it goes on to remind that he was held in contempt by the new jersey legislature for refusing to testify, failed to provide the evidence he's talking about now and is looking for the port authority to pay his legal bills. and another line in the e-mail contends david wildstein will do and say anything to save david wildstein. now, what's more, christie is unlikely to get much out of the super bowl coverage but the documents that they subpoenaed are due and that's likely to be

a new wave of intention. christie and victor. >> thank you. maybe this is just wishful thinking and maybe it will actually happen, this still is a chance for people in new jersey to set aside the political scandals at least a few hours today and celebrate hosting super bowl 48. >> you know, at the end of the day, one of the top priorities here is keeping any and all security threats to a minimum. that is a critical task. we want to let you know that we're learning new york's new mayor bill deblasio received a threatening letter. we want to get out to alexandra field who is live in new york. what can you tell us about this threat at this hour? >> nypd is confirming some time on saturday new york mayor bill deblasio received a threatening letter but the letter contained no specific threat. this letter comes on the heels of a few incidents last week. a white powder was reported to have been found at several hotels near metlife stadium and in the office of former new york

city mayor rudy giuliani. in all the cases, the fbi determined that that powder was not hazardous. we should underscore the point that these are the kind of scenarios that law enforcement officials have spent so long preparing for in the runp to the super bowl. today is the day preparations will be tested and law enforcement tells us they are confident about the security measures they will put into place and in train stations today. a super bowl that will rely on mass transit more tharn any super bowl in the past. some 15,000 ticket holders will actually have their bags screened before leaving the train station because the train station lets out right near metlife stadium and, of course, anyone who is entering metlife stadium will go through strict screening and security methods. similar to airport-style security. metlife has hosted significant events in the past. in the '90s host to a papal visit and world cup soccer game. but one security expert tells us

this is the largest security challenge the stadium has ever faced. >> it's terrorism that is paramount in everybody's mind and it's the preparation going into, you know, knowing the challenges and knowing the intelligence that surrounds these games, the sharing of that information from both local to state and national level. so, i'm sure that's not, that's top of their priority list and then there's the day-to-day things that we need to be concerned about, obviously, the weather. and the traffic challenges that this unique venue presents to us. >> in the wake of the boston marathon bombings the nfl issued new guidelines at all of its stadiums. fanned can no longer carry big bags into the stadiums. small bags or large, clear plastic bags. >> you compare the security

today at metlife to airport security but no tsa precheck at the super bowl. how long can people expect to wait to get through security to get to those seats? >> that's something that we asked law enforcement officials. will people get there and have to wait hours? fans will rush to the game and might get there early but we were told there is a large number of screeners that will be out there doing this screening. the goal is actually to move these lines very quickly because you really do want people to feel confident and like they're going into a safe place. why you do want to do all the security measures. you don't want people to feel like they're waiting a long time to go through all of the screening. a little bit of it is mental and they don't have to wait too long for the day they're already waiting so long for. >> indeed, alexandra field there for us. thank you. want to turn now to a story that just exploded yesterday afternoon with a published open letter from an alleged sexual assault victim. please, let me forewarn you here. this is tough to talk about. the details are graphic and not

appropriate if you have children in the room, but we want you to be prepared for this. for the first time, dylan farrow is breaking her silence about allegations that the filmmaker sexually assaulted her as a child. the allegations fir came to light in 1993 after farrow's mother split from allen. farrow begip begins by asking r, what is your favorite woody allen movie? farrow challenges readers to answer that same question one more time. dylan farrow the adopted daughter of mia and woody allen giving new details of assaults by the director and actor. she recounts an incident she says happened in 1992. when i was 7 years old, woody allen took me by the hand and

at age 7. golden globe tribute should. it's all part of the convoluted story that is woody allen's personal life. the couple separated after 12 years when mia farrow discovered that woody allen was having an affair with her adopted daughter, which is now allen's wife. the same year she told her mother he touched her inappropriately. a teach of medical investigators found no evidence of abuse. allen was never charged but the allegations have tainted his image for two decades. but dylan finally breaking her silence and admonishing some of hollywood's most celebrated by name for, in her words, turning a blind eye by continuing to work with allen. that he got away with what he did to me, haunted me as i grew up. i was stricken with guilt that i

allowed him to be near other little girls. cnn did reach out to woody allen's representative for comment. we have yet to hear back from them and also reached out to some of the stars that dylan farrow challenged by name. we will have much more on this little bit later this hour with cnn's brian stelter. investigators in florida discovered a much bigger crime when they started investigating some missing pills at a crime lab. plus, a look at what the weather is going to be like as football fans head out to met different life sta metlife stadium today. it's coming up after the break.
