in new york city police are being warned that individual followers of al qaeda and isis could strike now. a command bulletin says muslims are being asked to rise up and kill intelligence officers, police officers, soldiers and civilians. officials say they know of no specific threat. but they are pointing to this video posted over the weekend, essentially a remix of an isis threat issued last september. but still of concern across the country -- >> the target is to just go out and kill law enforcement and other officials. >> reporter: the concern is heightened by new evidence of the role of al qaeda and isis in the deadly attacks in paris last week. including this so-called martyrdom video hosted online from the gunman who killed five people at the kosher supermarket. with a black jihadist flag behind him, amedy coulibaly swearing allegiance to isis and

saying the attacks were synchronized and then offers thanks in order to finish buying everything necessary. >> i think we learn again, as we did in 9/11, that it doesn't cost much money for terrorist organizations to do this. >> reporter: still being sought today is coulibaly's girlfriend being sought, who went from bikinis to burqas as his alleged partner in terror. french authorities confirmed to abc news today that she fled to syria last week, the day her boyfriend allegedly shot and killed a policewoman. they're searching for a car that they fear could be rigged with explosives george. >> okay, brian ross, thanks very much. france still on high alert after those attacks, stepping up security across the country this morning and we're seeing those brand-new images from the hostages and learning new details about the terrorists. abc's terry moran is in paris this morning with the very latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, amy.

i'm right across the street from the kosher market that was attacked. prime minister netanyahu is here. concerns this may not be over. talking about potential accomplices may be out there. deploying 10,000 troops to protect the country, including 4,700 troops specifically assigned to jewish synagogues and schools. a huddled family cradles a child. an incredible scene inside the freezer in that kosher grocery store during the standoff. terrified hostages in hiding. before the final shootout freed them all safely. this video shows police storming the brothers holed up north of paris. forensic teams working inside an apartment rented by amedy coulibaly, the gunman who took hostages at that kosher store. new video just out turn irk tv saying that this is the girlfriend of the gunman who took hostages at the kosher

grocery store. seen here at the istanbul airport. all this after a truly awesome day of demonstrations. more than one million marched in paris and more than three million across france. 40 world leaders here, but no senior american leading to some sharp criticism of president obama in the u.s. press. one more detail from here. reports that the gunman at this market may have been wearing a gopro camera when he attacked it and may have uploaded that video before the final shootout in which he was killed. george. >> terry, thanks very much. as terry mentioned, the white house taking heat for not being there. president obama not there and no top cabinet officials. and as you saw, front pages having a field day. let's go to jon karl at the white house. how is the president's team explaining this. >> well, george, this looks like a missed opportunity for the president to show a powerful symbolic display of unity with the world against terrorism. but what the white house

officials are telling me is that if the president had gone to the march it would have required security that would have distracted from the march and would have interfered with the march and would not have been productive. although, it's worth noting you had more than 40 foreign leaders there and a lot of security. each one of those foreign leaders requires intense security. there was a companion march just a few blocks from the white house. no senior officials took part in that one, either. the white house is pointing out though, george, that the president did go on thursday to the french embassy and expressed solidarity with the french in help in getting to the bottom of this. >> attorney general eric holder in paris yesterday. when i spoke to him yesterday he left the door open to retaliation, along with france, if they can pin down who is responsible for this. >> no doubt. he was over there working with john kerry, the secretary of state will be in paris working with the french on that.

>> okay, jon, thanks very much. and we turn now to the golden globes, one of hollywood's biggest nights and an early hint at the oscar front-runners. lara was there for all the winners, losers and surprises. lara, did you get any sleep? >> of course not, amy. you know how this goes. well worth it, my friend. what a great night. celebrating the best of the year's movies and also hollywood's glitz and glamour. i was backstage for all of it and got to celebrate with all the winners, check it out. >> good evening, and welcome you bunch of spoiled, minimally talented brats. >> tina fey and amy poehler hosting the golden globes for the third and final time. >> tina, i didn't like "gone girl". i go to the movies to escape, i do not see myself up there on the screen. >> and nothing was off limits. from jokes about bill cosby. >> i put the pills in the people. >> i got the pills in the bath robe but i put them in the people. >> to the sony hacking scandal. >> cho, welcome.

>> amy and tina's moment that you thought was the best? >> from the minute they walked on stage. if i have anything to do with it, i'm going to get a petition going that they don't quit. >> the best actor, michael keaton for "birdman". >> my best friend is kind, intelligent, he also happens to be my son, shawn.

we're going to switch gears now, that take rous morning commute for millions. ice and sleet making roads slippery. abc's linzie janis right in the middle of it in baltimore. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, george. i-95 right behind me stretches from d.c. to boston and it is shaping up to be a treacherous commute. the d.c. and baltimore areas are under freezing rain advisories. that means when the rain hits the frozen ground, it could form an icy glaze. it's the kind of severe weather already been wreaking havoc in the midwest. this morning icy roads for the commute expected across the country, from arkansas to massachusetts. overnight, an ice storm warning in indianapolis hitting the city with freezing rain and sleet. vehicles sliding off the streets one after another. the east coast i-95 corridor preparing for dangerous travel. >> ice is more treacherous. >> reporter: schools closed

because of icy roads in several states, from ohio to maryland. the messy conditions coming after a week-long stretch of road dangers. new video from that weekend crash in michigan involving nearly 200 vehicles, killing 1 and injuring 23. >> you can't do anything. >> reporter: a reminder of just how hazardous these icy roads can be. authorities in maryland and d.c. are asking drivers to delay or cancel their commutes if possible, and many school districts in the area are on a two-hour delay. a reminder, george, if you have to be on these roads, take it slow. >> good advice there, linzie. now let's go to dan harris with today's top stories. >> good morning everybody. starting with breaking news overnight in the crash of airasia flight 8501. search teams have found both black boxes, retrieving the

flight data recorder which is crucial to figure out why the plane went down two weeks ago. crews working to recover the voice recorder. a scene of true bravery and defiance today as children in pakistan stood up to the fear of terror and went back to school for the first time since the taliban killed nearly 150 of their teachers and classmates last month. students hugging their parents and streaming back into the classrooms of the army school. one young man saying we are not afraid, we will get an education, it is our fundamental right. as we said, very brave. new video this morning of chaos erupting at a nightclub in california after shots fired during a chris brown performance. check it out. many in the crowd ducking for cover at this club in san jose. five people were shot but they are expected to be okay. we don't know what set off that violence. and look at this. terrifying moments for some people visiting a national park in thailand. out of their car window a giant elephant approaching and from another angle the animal

slamming its front feet down on the hood shattering the windshield. nobody got hurt here. the elephant was likely aggressive we're told because it is mating season. there's a joke to be made there but discretion. anyway, finally here, scientific proof that when we don't have our smartphones we pretty much freak out. a new study says parting with your iphone can actually cause separation anxiety. researchers at the university of missouri say iphone users perform better on cognitive tests when they had their phones with them and when they didn't, their heart and blood pressure went up. i think this is malarky. when i don't have my phone with me i'm much more calm and when i do with me, i would have the attention span of a kitten. i don't know what they're talking about. i totally disagree. >> you're an outlier. >> i am? really? all right. okay, now we got to go to robin in arlington for the big game.

>> hey, george. the big kickoff is just hours away. and you can hear and feel the excitement inside this enormous stadium. everyone getting ready for the biggest college football game ever. the oregon ducks versus the ohio state buckeyes! fans from both schools have descended on the dallas/ft. worth area the current center of the college football universe. taking in big names. ready for a brand-new champion. living a dream. this is for your, tim. wow. sometimes you're looking at that instead of looking down here at the game. consider this the quiet before the storm. there's going to be a whole different scene inside the stadium. more than 80,000 will be screaming their heads off for the ducks and the buckeyes. >> let's go ducks! >> it's a new era in college football. for the first time ever a playoff to determine the national champion.

the semifinals were thrilling and tonight, in arlington, texas, oregon and ohio state go head to head, vying to become the first-ever college football playoff champion. so, how do these two teams match up? well, the tale of the tape. oregon has a 13-1 overall record this season, so does ohio state. head to head, the two teams first met in the 1958 rose bowl. ohio state is 8-0 all time against oregon. and the buckeyes have won seven national championships and the oregon ducks are looking for their very first. >> to be the first team to win it from oregon would be an incredible deal. >> one story line to watch tonight, ohio state coach urban meyer is no stranger to the big stage. >> you step in a prize fight, you get one swing and the great champions don't miss. >> but this year he comes in with his third-string quarterback. oregon, yep, they have got the newly minted heisman trophy winner, marcus mariota, and a

high-powered ducks offense. game on. joining us now is espn analyst jesse palmer. thanks for being here with us. >> i have been here all week. >> this changes college football. >> and thank god for the college football playoff. if we were still in the bcs era it was predicted alabama would have played florida state. that would have been the wrong matchup. the whole point we came up with a college football playoff is to have a defined national champion settled on the field. the fans love it. i have been here all week. this game has a huge super bowl feel to it. being here in dallas could not be better. >> i have been to countless sporting events. it does have that big event feel like a super bowl even beyond a college bowl game. tell us about the matchup. >> you have two high-octane offenses. it's going to be a lot of fun. you start with oregon, they like to go fast and they run and pass. heisman trophy quarterback in marcus mariota.

for ohio state, more physical and they like to run the football. they have a phenom at quarterback, only making his third start, in cardale jones. which teams brings their defense probably comes a long way. >> do you dare make a pick? are you brave enough? >> i'm going to try and take cover fast. i think it's going to be oregon and the reason why it's so seldom in a game of this magnitude. they have got the experience of the quarterback. i'll stay away from brutus over here. >> you better do that. >> i love that split screen after jesse's prediction. >> like -- >> awkward. >> you can watch it tonight buckeyes versus the ducks at 8:30 eastern. on espn. now we get more on the icy weather in the east. rob marciano in for ginger today. >> i'm going for oregon as well. many years in our abc affiliate. go ducks tonight. we have got freezing weather

coach and mentor ted ginn, who said jones was a diamond in the rough. >> i would pick him up and polish and shape him up and everybody said where did he come from. >> that sets the stage for tonight, the unlikely star quarterback with a chance to shine. two players, two very different stories, but one common goal, who will be the man to lead his team to a championship? and another thing they have in common, they both give a lot of credit to their teammates. much more to come here. we have got a big fan showdown and a big showdown with the two mascots. gametime will be here before you know it. we'll be right back. before you know it. we'll be right back.
