as we head into the holiday week, americans in the east are waking up to those frigid temperatures outside. let's start with somara theodore with more on this cold snap, and somara, layer up. >> somara: gio, it is brutal out there. look at some of these numbers. now, as we head through the morning, places that are normally cold or under cold weather advisories, feeling like negative two in scranton. boston, five below zero. minus 12 in rome. now the windchills will kind of perk up a little bit tomorrow, but it's still cold when we think about it. two degrees in boston for monday morning for those of still headed to work. so get ready for that. that chill also in the south. let's talk about travel. there's a storm system moving into the great lakes. this is 4:30 p.m. you're wrapping up work. maybe you're hitting the road early on i-94 from chicago to detroit. you'll be dealing with a bit of a wintry mix, and for those on tuesday morning traveling christmas eve, be prepared for snow along i-80, i-90, as well as i-87. we could see up to a dusting, maybe even 6 inches of snow in upstate new york. that's a look at the forecast. janai, back to you. >> janai: somara, thank you for that.

those temperatures are so cold. meanwhile, the tsa expects to screen 40 million passengers nationwide with 4 million traveling through atlanta's airport, the very busiest in the whole world, by january 2nd. that's where abc's faith abubey is right now. faith, we can see how busy is it -- it is behind you. faith, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, janai. people are whipping by quickly going through the security checkpoints here. it's been a busy morning here. on average it's taking people about 30 minutes or so to get through the main security checkpoint, and it could be the busiest ever end-of-year holiday travel crush at the airports and on the roads across the country. nearly 120 million people are expected to travel about 50 miles or more from home over the next several days. in fact, united even added hundreds of new flights just to meet the demand, and southwest is saying they could fly more than half a million people today alone. now what we are seeing in terms of the numbers, it could end up

being a 6.2% increase at tsa checkpoints by the time all of this is over, over the next several days, but aaa says the majority of people are actually not flying. they're not at the airports. the majority of people who are traveling this holiday season are actually opting to drive, taking advantage of the downward trend we have been seeing in the gas prices there. right now the national average is about $3 a gallon, and so beating the traffic on the roads this holiday season will take some planning. usually the mornings are better. today specifically, you want to leave before noon. the worst travel times in terms of heavy traffic will be between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. today. now, if you want to avoid even more traffic, perhaps maybe you wait until christmas eve or even christmas day to leave because a lot of people will have started their celebrations. they'll be indoors and the roads could open up for you all the way to grandma's house. will? >> will: good advice. no matter where you're going, pack your patience. faith abubey, thank you so much for that. turning now to the deadly

police pursuit that authorities say led to a crash inside a texas mall overnight. abc's zohreen shah has those details. zohreen, good morning. >> reporter: will, a terrifying incident at the mall on super saturday, a busy shopping day before christmas. five people injured ranging from 6 to 75 years old. the suspect shot dead by police. this morning, the urgent investigation into what led up to horror at a texas mall. a driver smashing into this jcpenney during a police chase injuring five people. >> i need you all en route to the killeen mall near penney's. mass casualty. >> reporter: authorities say a texas highway patrol trooper tried stopping a possible dwi driver racing on the highway. the driver not stopping, instead speeding toward the killeen mall packed with holiday shoppers. the man then driving through the glass doors of this jcpenney according to officials, plowing into the store and running people over inside.

>> said somebody shoot. said somebody shoot. >> reporter: throughout the mall, confusion and chaos as shoppers ran outside for safety. >> everybody got up on the table and started running to the door. that's what i did, and went out. >> reporter: the suspect killed by a dps trooper. three deputies already at the mall, already opened fire. >> one was working an offduty gig, security, securing the mall, and the other two were offduty with their families. that's why, you know, officers will carry guns when they are offduty because you never know what's going to happen. >> reporter: four people took to the hospital. one took themselves to the e.r. there were some initial reports of a possible active shooter. officials stress that was not the case. only the suspect was shot. gio? >> gio: what a scary situation there. all right, zohreen, thank you so much. now to the search for answers into that horrifying scene at a holiday market in germany. a car plowing into a crowd killing five people and injuring 200. abc's tom soufi burridge is there in magdeburg with the latest. tom, good morning to you.

>> reporter: good morning, gio. now we can show you the view right down into that christmas market, the scene of that attack. the suspect using that car to drive up in this direction, right through this area. you can imagine it would have been packed with families on friday night. police saying the attack lasted just three minutes and this morning, a german official confirming the identity of the suspect. this morning, a sea of tributes to the killed and injured in that horrific car-ramming attack in magdeburg, germany, on friday night as we learn new details about the suspected driver. a german official confirming to abc news that 50-year-old taleb al-abdulmohsen who moved to germany from saudi arabia in 2006 appeared in court on saturday. in a statement, german police said a judge had placed the suspect in pre-trial detention for the alleged murder of five people including a 9-year-old boy, as well as accounts of attempted murder and grievous

bodily harm. also it's said the suspect had, quote, islamophobic views, and a local prosecutor confirming a social media account believed to belong to the suspect is a part of the investigation. it includes posts that engage in conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about the german authorities. german officials saying a motive is still unclear, but said the suspect's psychological state is being examined. at the scene of the attack, i met a local nurse who was at the christmas markets with her young daughter when that car plowed through the crowd. she performed cpr on some of the survivors. >> we felt the car. it was so fast. it was so -- we felt the hate in the car, and then we got outside and saw the car rampage over the hallway, took everything with him. >> reporter: brave woman there. there was a memorial service late last night. the atmosphere around this area is still raw.

a sense of utter disbelief. 40 of the 200 people injured are said to be in a critical condition. janai? >> janai: tom, it is an unbelievable story. that woman's interview is heartbreaking, but you were telling this story with so much heart, and we appreciate you for that. back here at home now to washington. in the last-minute funding bill that keeps the government running into the start of president-elect trump's new term, but what's in the bill? let's find out from abc's maryalice parks. maryalice, good morning. break it down for us. >> reporter: yeah, janai, good morning. millions of federal workers, members of the military breathing a sigh of relief knowing that their pay will not be interrupted this holiday. president biden signed that funding bill saturday to make sure the government would stay open. the whole saga really revealing the limits of president-elect trump's hold on some republicans in congress who are adamant against taking on more debt, and foreshadowed some real challenges he might face passing his agenda in the new year. it will only take two or three republicans to block anything. the margins are so slim. now the final bill funds the government until march.

it included $100 billion in disaster aid to places hit so hard by fires and storms. a one-year extension of the federal farm bill, and $10 billion in direct assistance to farmers. now it did not include several policies that had been carefully negotiated between democrats and republicans for months. for vocational training, substance abuse treatment, protections for world broadband, and some tough new proposals around china. all of that scrapped at the 11th hour because elon musk really had railed against it. a lot of democrats this morning just blasting republicans for letting musk have so much sway, asking if the richest man on earth is going to have to sign off on every piece of legislation that they negotiate. and some republicans asking if speaker mike johnson should be replaced after the chaos of this week. will? >> will: a lot more twists and turns surely ahead. maryalice parks in washington, thank you. now to luigi mangione, the man accused of killing health care ceo brian thompson is due in court again tomorrow. abc's phil lipof is here with

those details. phil, good morning to you. >> reporter: will, good morning to you, and luigi mangione will face new york state murder and terrorism charges tomorrow morning in a manhattan courtroom. police say the 26-year-old ambushed and then gunned down unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson on a new york city street as thompson walked into an investors conference. this happened earlier this month. since then, prosecutors say they have tied mangione's fingerprints to a phone and other evidence at the murder scene. he was taken into custody in altoona, pennsylvania, days after the murder and an intense manhunt. investigators say he was carrying the gun used to kill thompson, a passport, fake i.d.s, and cash when he was arrested. on thursday, mangione waived extradition in pennsylvania and was immediately taken into nypd custody and flown to manhattan. it was a huge show of force, waiting as he got off that plane. dozens of heavily armed police officers, even new york city mayor eric adams was there. initially, his attorney says

there was some confusion at least on her part. she thought she would face -- he would be facing state charges of murder in the first-degree with a furtherance of terrorism, but the federal government charged him with four charges including murder as well. so he was taken to federal court first. if found guilty on the federal charges, mangione could face the death penalty. he faces life in prison on the state charges. gio? >> gio: the nation watching every detail of this story, phil. thank you so much for that. we're going to turn now to that major medical headline for obstructive sleep apnea. it's a condition affecting millions of americans, of course, and joining us to break it all down is medical news correspondent, dr. darien sutton. good morning to you. let's talk about this because we have zepbound, it was already fda approved for weight loss. >> dr. darien: yep. >> gio: now fda approved for sleep apnea. surprising, right? >> dr. darien: it's also the

first of its kind. there's been no medication that exists that has been approved to treat sleep apnea. to help everyone understand, sleep apena is so much more than just heavy snoring. these are periods of time you're not breathing, without oxygen, and without treatment, that increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and it's been associated to a shortened lifespan. now on friday, the fda now on friday, the fda has approved zepbound zepbound has been able to treat these patients, and up to 40% of patients have had full resolution of their symptoms and diagnosis. effectively a cure. >> janai: oh my gosh. what could this mean for insurance coverage and medicare? >> dr. darien: this is an ongoing conversation. when talk about these injectable weight loss medications, zepbound, similar to ozempic, insurance companies often cover for the treatment of diabetes. it's been around for more than 20 years, but not often for weight loss, and so likely cost is a big factor here, more than $1,000 a month, more than 40% of americans are considered obese, and also when you think about it federally, medicare and medicaid, the biden administration has proposed a proposal to cover the treatment of weight loss, but that will be pending on the trump administration. cost is still a big factor here.

the cms, the center for medicare and medicaid services estimates it can cost up to $30 billion over a ten-year period, but it's important to note that the cdc cites obesity-related health conditions cost more than $170 billion a year, so there's certainly a healthy argument for discussion here. >> janai: healthy argument. thank you so much for being with us. dr. sutton, always a pleasure. now to our holiday countdown. three -- count them up, one, two, three, days left the shop. we have some last-minute deals and the lowdown on returns. abc's alexis christoforous joins us. alexis, my vacuum cleaner is arriving on monday. >> reporter: great deal on that, too. thank you very much. i'm happy for you. it is crunch time. one, two, three, three days left, but you can still find the perfect present and save some money in the process. how about that? so macy's big holiday countdown sale is going strong. we found this 14-piece knife block set now just 90 bucks. that's down from $286. best buy has last-minute

doorbusters like apple's tenth generation ipad. now back near its all-time low price of $279, so you save 70 bucks and you get three months of apple music and apple tv+ for free, and nordstrom is having its half-year sale with up to 60% off. we found these tyra knee-high boots for about $69 marked down from around $180. so janai, you can put that one in your cart too, but at this point, you're going to have to pay a premium for shipping at most major retailers to get your gifts on time or you can buy online and pick up in stores for free. you can also skip the stores and shipping altogether and go electronic. subscriptions are popular like netflix, spotify, our parent company, disney+. they all make great gifts that can be sent to their inbox. >> janai: that is a good idea, and our producer just told me that a viewer called the producers yesterday to ask about that vacuum cleaner. so at least two homes are going to be clean thanks to you, alexis. >> reporter: awesome. >> janai: also lots of changes to return policies. what do we need to know?

>> reporter: as you head out to the stores or shop online, you definitely want to check with the specific retailer because some have shorter return windows this year. for example, target's holiday return policy is five weeks shorter. so items purchased between november 7th and christmas eve must be returned by january 24th. others are making you pay to mail your return. remember those days? macy's is charging $9.99 unless you're a star rewards member, and retailers like amazon and best buy are tacking on restocking fees for some electronics. be sure to keep your receipts this year. a lot of retailers now requiring them for returns, guys. >> gio: janai knows i keep those receipts. >> janai: i was going to say, someone knows something about returns. >> gio: thank you, my friend. appreciate you. let's go to football now because it is in full force this weekend. college playoff games making it hard to get off the couch. abc's perry russom has a roundup for us this morning.

good morning, perry. >> reporter: good morning to you. i think i left a divot in the couch from not moving yesterday. we had the two football worlds colliding for a rare saturday of nfl and college games. round one of this new playoff format for college football. >> a downfield send, first up in the end zone. touchdown, ohio state strikes first! >> reporter: overnight, ohio state becoming the final team to make it to the second round of the college football playoffs. >> touchdown, ohio state! they're 3 for 3. >> reporter: the buckeyes blasting ahead to a 21-0 lead against tennessee and never looking back. texas hosting clemson, a major day for texas on the ground. >> cutback, into the end zone, another texas touchdown. >> reporter: wisner with two touchdowns, and his fellow running back, blue, with two more. >> all the way for the texas touchdown, 77 yards. >> reporter: texas goes to the second round. smu visiting penn state in happy valley.

>> picked off and it's coming back. deluca, touchdown! >> reporter: the nittany lions with three interceptions on the day. >> that's picked off again! >> reporter: two returned for touchdowns. penn state overwhelms smu and wins. in the nfl, two afc matchups on a rare saturday of games, the baltimore ravens hosting the pittsburgh steelers. >> wilson, a throw. >> reporter: patterson, tying the game with this bobbling grab in the end zone that he helped secure with his thighs, but marlin humphrey secures the games for the ravens with an interception in the fourth quarter. >> the pick six. >> reporter: the ravens clinch a spot in the playoffs. the kansas city chiefs taking on the houston texans. both teams already in the playoffs. >> caught in the bucket on a touchdown. >> reporter: early second half tank dell with the touchdown, but grabs his knee right away after colliding with his teammate. dell carted off the field. texans lose dell and the game. and then with that win, the chiefs stay the number one seed in the afc. they could clinch that today if the bills lose. we have 12 games today. some with playoff implications.

packers can clinch a spot with a win tomorrow night against the saints. that game is on espn and abc, and a pro tip, flip the cushion. they'll never know how long you sat there, guys. >> janai: that is so funny. >> gio: that is a great tip. >> will: thank you for that. i was in the same boat as you and i will be again today. speaking of monday night football, we do not have who's with herm today, but we want to get on record with your picks. herm and whit are going with the 10-4 packers over the saints. janai, gio, who do you have? >> janai: you go first. >> gio: i'm going with the packers. >> janai: because will told you to. but if you want to be friends with robin, the saints. love you, robin, but packers. >> will: putting on the chiefs heads and heading over to somara for the weather. >> somara: let's take a look at that record heat that has been blazing the southwest. tucson, arizona, yesterday hit 83 degrees. phoenix, 79. all right. so you got that record four days consecutively. big difference in the northeast. look at this windchill, waking

up to temperatures in places like boston. feeling like below zero. cold weather advisories, and cold sticks around on the east coast baseball has lost an all-time great. >> somara: and that's a look at your forecast, i'm giving it right back to you. >> will: we'll check in again in a little bit. we do have to turn now to sad news to the sports world. baseball has lost an all-time great. hall of famer,

ten-time all-star and all-time stolen base king, rickey henderson has died at the age of 65. the family did not announce a cause of death, but they thanked the doctors and nurses at the hospital which they said cared for henderson, with quote, dedication and compassion. henderson played for nine different clubs during his 25-season career. it spanned four decades from 1979 to 2003. he spent most of that time with the oakland as. he stole a major league record of 1,146 bases. he holds the all-time record for runs scored. the baseball commissioner calling henderson the gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting. henderson would have been 66 on christmas day. >> janai: he loved his family. >> will: a lot of swag as they'd say today. >> janai: love that. thank you, will. still coming up on "gma," hollywood feud. why actress blake lively is taking legal action against former co-star and director justin baldoni. you don't want to miss this. we'll be right back on "gma."

100 really quick. >> reporter: real quick and a lot of people are talking about this, janai, because blake lively says baldoni allegedly added extra sex scenes and discussed his personal intimate life with her and when she raised concerns, he tried to silence her. baldoni's team is firing back and calling these claims false. >> i thought we were friends. >> we are friends. >> reporter: it was the film that captivated audiences with its raw emotion. >> he knows it was an accident and i told him it was an accident. >> reporter: and this morning, blake lively accusing "it ends with us" director and co-star justin baldoni of sexual harassment and a smear campaign to destroy her reputation. according to the complaint filed with the california civil rights department, baldoni and a producer engaged in inappropriate behavior on set, prompting lively and her husband, ryan reynolds to confront them in a meeting with their list of complaints. lively rose to fame as the star of the teen hit drama, "gossip girl," and has since starred in major films

including "sisterhood of the traveling pants," built businesses outside of entertainment, including launching lifestyle brands. the complaint alleging an elaborate scheme by baldoni and his team to taint lively's reputation if she went public with her onset claims, and alleging that baldoni further consulted a crisis management expert who, according to the complaint, wrote back, we can bury anyone. >> i want a divorce. >> reporter: the movie centered around themes of domestic violence grossed close to $350 million worldwide. lively claims director baldoni inserted improvised, gratuitous sexual content and/or scenes adding, none of this was remotely in character or based on any dialogue in the script. baldoni's attorney firing back in a statement saying, these claims are completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious, adding the studio proactively hired a crisis manager due to the multiple demands and threats made by ms. lively during production,

threats that included not showing up to set, and threatening not to promote the film. >> now that blake lively has filed this complaint, the defendants named in it will have to respond and then we'll have discovery, other arguments made to see whether this case goes to some form of a trial, or if it's settled before that. >> reporter: we'll see what happens there, but baldoni's legal team also claims that lively hired her own pr team to spread false stories about him, even before the marketing began for the film prompting their decision to bring in their own crisis manager. now, while this complaint hasn't reached court yet, it could mean that a pending lawsuit is on the way. >> gio: wow. the details of this are just incredible. >> janai: they really are. >> will: there's more to come. morgan, thank you so much. we'll be right back. to come. morgan, thank you so much. we'll be right back. ohn's sympts kept me out of the picture. now i have skyrizi. ♪ i've got places to go and i'm feeling free. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me.♪ and now i'm back in the picture. feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements.

>> good morning i'm stephanie sierra. legendary a's player and oakland native rickey henderson has died. our media partners, the east bay times reports henderson had been in the hospital battling pneumonia. he made his debut in the major leagues with the oakland a's back in 1979. henderson is still the all time stolen base leader and the greatest leadoff hitter of all time. he set the all time record of stolen bases in one season, 130 bases stolen in his 1982 season. to weather now and the rain that's moving out across the bay. let's check in with lisa. >> that's right. stephanie. and then moving in later on today. here's a look at how quickly that light rain exited the area. level one system for this evening as our morning rain showers have ended and then the steadier rain comes in. not a huge system, but are dangerous surf building throughout the next couple of days, so quarter mile visibility. half moon bay you can see we're doing pretty good in livermore, but san jose just two mile visibility and as we look

outside can't see anything. but we are in the mid 50s and you can see a few breaks in the clouds here. we're going to get into some sunshine and temperatures climbing through the 60s today. so it's a mild one out there. and look at how the rain chances really diminish throughout the bulk of the day. then they ramp up. so about 630 in the north bay and then 7:00 the rest of the bay area, and then we'll see another break. so here we go with the rain tonight, crossing the bay throughout the evening and later evening hours. and we're going to pick up not that much from the south bay, a couple hundredths to much more in the north bay. still not a big issue, but we'll be watching it as our next system brings in heavier rain overnight monday, and the surf builds throughout the weekend as well. stephanie. >> lisa, thank you and thank you all for joining us this week with george stephanopoulos is next. >> 100% of our cases start with the worst kind of injury and end with the best possible result.
