year. with music and fireworks lighting up the night surrounded by family and friends, the world greets a new year today, friday, january 1st, 2016. good morning, everyone, welcome to today, a brand new year on this friday morning. happy new year guys. >> happy new year. >> good to see you. here we go again. we finished a period where we looked back at the s sries in 2014 and now we gear up f f what lies ahead we already know one of the stories dominating that includes the presidential race. we'll break down where things are standing and we'll tell you what you can expect moving forward this year. >> also we will revisit the top stories for the year that wasas
7:01 am
>> an interesting look back. let's get the story of the moment. chanel jones is in this morning. good morning and happy new year. >> officials are still trying to figure out what caused a massive fire that engulfed a high-rise hotel on new year's eve. it's blocks awaw from the world'sallest building where they held aew year's eve fire celebration despite smoke from the fire. the 36 story hotel and apartment building caught fire a couple of hours before the midnight fireworks show. according to officials 14 people were injured in the fire. >> the new year's eve party went on in germany after threat. they received information about concrete threat of an isis susz side attack. still thousands of people flooded the city streets at midnight to welcome in the new year. back home an alleged isis
7:02 am
accused of planning an armed attack in upstate new york on new year's eve.e. he went to a walmart on tuesday to buy supplies for the operation. they bought ski knives, duct tape and ammonia. some communities are bracing for the peak of flooding that already d daged homes and businesses. miguel is in st. louis. >> good morning. the mississippi river has been cresting overnight. it is still slowly rising in this area. there's good news and bad news here. let's start with the good news. there's not been catastrophic damage and most of the heavies in this area are holding however well. about 150 homes in thihi area have been damaged. ninene levies have topped over. there's certainly considerable destruction here. death toll is at about 20 with
7:03 am
it will be another day when people are on edge up and down the mississippi here as this river crests. the big question will be will the river banks and levies hold in the days ahead. back to you. >> thank you. and then there were two. llege football's national championship g ge is now set. alabama had no problem at all in it's cotton bowl match up against michigan state. jay coker threw a pair of touchdowns for the crimson tide in the 38-0 win and in the orange bowl it was top ranked clemson with a big victory over oklahoma. the tigers scored three touchdowns in the second half and went on to win 37-17. clemson and alabama w wl play for the national title on january 11th. let's take a look at the weather. much of the nation will be dry for new year's day. it will be mainly sunny and cool in the west. areas in southern texas and new mexico will see clouds and rain mixed at times with sleet. parts of the southeast will also see rain from florida, the florida panhandle to the carolina coast. around thehe grere lakesxpect
7:04 am
lake effect snow. we should also say some areas in northern new york could see one to two feet of snow. buffalo could see between 2 and 4 inches of bottomed out in sub-zero territory this morning, we'll end the year 2015 on a similarly, but not quite as cold note with lows near 10 degrees tonight. also, don't be too worried about a few flurries that might fall in some spots tonight, they shouldn't interrupt your new years plans much at all. we'll begin the year 2016 on a bright note with lots of sunshine and highs near 30 tomorrow with a brisk breeze out of the west. we'll see similar conditions this
7:05 am
a few more clouds returning and a slight chance of a snow shower or two next thursday. see graphics. that's a look at the weather on this new year's day. now back to savannah. >> chanel,, thank you so much. we're getting 2016 started by looking ahead to the year in politics and the fight against terror as well as the economy. >> as we mentioned the marathon race to the white house is getting more intense with the iowa caucuses fast approaching. chuck todd is nbc's political the press. happy new year. good to see you. >> finally. >> this is the election year. everybody is talking about it. it's still fluid. before we get to the individuals in the race, chuck, at what point in the coming year will shape?
7:06 am
to take a long while. it may be until after the conventions. it may be finally in labor day it will take shape. this is the culmination of 15 years of voter anger and mistrust and it's all culminated in this career. this is why we have donald trump. >> let's get specific about that. by the way, last year at this time donald trump was not on your list of people that we would talk about. >> we didn't take it seriously. >> it's amazing to see how he dominated the political calendar. so the question is what is his path to nomination? >> it's to keep winning. his is simple because there's so many forces trying to stop him. if he is at all short a party will do whatever it takes nomination. he's not ever going to be a compromise candidate. he's not going to see people
7:07 am
he's better than x. the decision has been made so he has to win despite the forces stopping him. >> if we talk about ted cruz then he is also a controversial figure even within the republican party. do you see him as some kind of a compromise? >> i don't. way. if there was no donald trump we would be talking about the top ted cruz movovent in the party and everything it would take to nomination. which has the establishment panicked. we can't kill them both. people say i can't believe we might have to accept the idea of a cruz nomination. but here's what one republican said to me. at least you know on any given day what cruz might say and you can prepare for it in advance. yes he may b b too far to the right to win a general election but he'll at least be disciplined and they think -- trump you have no idea what he might say. >> early states are important. let's talk about marco rubio. perhaps he's the republican that hillary clinton's campaign fears
7:08 am
how long can he go without winning. >> it depends on how he finishes. look, he can make progress if it's 3rd iniowa. 2nd in new hampshire, and it looks like it is a movement. bill clinton did it this way. he didn't win either iowa or new hampshire. he made progress and 2nd was a victor for him but he has to win somewhere. eventually you have to start winning. i think he has made a mistake and we'll see if this month plays out differently. he made a mistake almost cedeing iowa to cruz. i don't know if anybody can stop him. >> fewer questions on the democratic side. i want to go to the last 12 months of the obama presidency. what might we expect to see from president obama that he would really want to be part of his legacy. >> well, it's funny, we're going to find out in less than two weeks. we'll have ann earliererhan everr state of the union and i have been promised that it will be unlike any state of the union we have ever seen.
7:09 am
typical laundry list of what he's going to try to do. it's going to be something different and something bigger, in some ways trying to set the table for what he thinks should be a bigger conversation for '16. we'll see if he can pull it off. i heard presidents before sayinin we'ree going to redo how the state of the union is done. but here's why it does matter. hillary clinton wins or loses based upon how voters feel about baack obama on election day. if he's below 45% job approval she probably doesn't win. >> get comfortable in that chair. you'll be here a lot in the coming years, chuck. >> thank you. another big issue in the election and 2016 thehe threat from isisi here at home and also overseas. richard engle is nbc's chief foreign correspondent. richard, good morning to you. >> happy new year. it's good to be with you. >> happy new year with you. i wish there were happier news on the foreign policy front. let's talk about this fight against isis. what a consequential year we have just been through. from the military standpoint
7:10 am
>> well, i think 2015 was a tough year and we saw the u.s. military increasingly involved. very reluctantly but steadily involved in iraq and syria. it started out with a few advisors going to iraq. and then air strikes in iraq and then air strikes in syria and ultimately special forces being deployed to both countries and i think in theear ahead in 2016, we're going to see more u.s. involvement. that this steady encroachment is probably going to keep going. >> what do you think about this coalition? i mean in 2015 we saw other countries pulledd into this like never before. do you think the coalition has a fighting chance of really getting together and really making an impact? >> that's the one thing i am some what hopeful for. everyone now sort of accepts that isis is a universal threat.
7:11 am
russia saying that. the united states believing that. yet there is no unified policy. i think going forward logic will somehow have to prevail and that even these rivals will have to agree, at least in principle, that they need to coordinate their efforts a little bit common enemy. i hope that logic prevails in 2016. we'll see if it does. >> but the thorniest part of that of course is what is going to hapapn to bashar al assad in syria and there's been this diplomatic track of talks on how there. what do you think we can expect this year on that? >> i think it goes back to agreeing at least to fight isis. if everyone, iran, russia and the united states and saudi arabia and other countries can agree that is a principle that they all need to do that together, by accepting that
7:12 am
the question of bashar al assad does need to be dealt with. but probably needs to be dealt with later on in the year. we won't hear a lot of talk about bashar al assad. instead they'll talk about fighting isis. fighting isis together. but the assumption will be once isis starts t t get weakened then you'll have to address one of the root causes of isis which is bashar al assad's continued prence and if isis is weakened and there is progress made on that front then you might see more international consensus to off ramp bashar al assad. >> so much to talk to you about. wewel be speaking to you a lot thth year of course. thank you for your time. and matt, over to you. >> savannah, thanks very much. what does the new year have in store for your bottom line? from interest rates to technology, gas prices, olivia stearns is here with the financial forecast for the coming year. happy new year to you. >> happy new year. >> can we say the end of 2015 got swallowed up in politics and
7:13 am
before we move forward what was your economic headline for the past year? >> i would say the headlines was more jobs, cheap gas. unemployment finally came back down to 5%. more and more people started getting a raise and gas fell to $2 a gallon. that's good news. solid year for main street. >> i want to get back to gas prices in a second but the other elephant in the room is interest rates up slightly higher for the first time in a decade. why was thishe time to do it? how will it impact us? >> so the fed is basically saying that we're finally ready to take the training wheels off the economy. these 0% interest rates they put in place in the depths of the crisis, it was an emergency measure and after 7 years they're saying the economy improved enough. gdp is growing at 2.5%. they think we're read do do away th ultra low rates and they're ising them a bit. >> but a lot of people say that could stall the economy. it's a middle ground. >> for sure.
7:14 am
to do this. it's going to be incremental. the big risk is they raise them too far, too fast and overturn the apple cart. >> you brought up gas prices a second go. let's go back there because they're at incredible lows compared to the past decade or so. how long is that going to last? >> good news is experts say you can get used to $2 gas. oil is hovering around $40 barrel. 18 months ago it was $80. so it has come down really far, really fast and economists say because we're producing more and more oil here at home and demand globally slowing down and china is slowing down we can get used to cheap gas. it's a big win for american shoppers and american manufacturers and good news for the car companies. one risk though energy jobs. that's been a big driver of job growth here in the u.s. if >> technology is an important part of the economy. what's the technology headline going to be? >> all the buzz is about these
7:15 am
that's what we call start up companies valued at more than a billion dollars and i'm thinking of companies such as airbnb and uber, they have e ese astronomical evaluations.. a all of t tm come out of the sharing economy. the thing is there's a lot of legal questions around their business models so nobody can really say what they're worth. so stay tuned to those companies. >> so big question mark on those. >> big question mark. >> this is more specific when it comes to tecdnology. everybody is walking around with these -- i don't want to use brand names but these wearables. these pieces of technology on your wrist. they have a big future? >> seems so. 2015 the year that they went mainstream. so fitbit that company is growing gangbusters. they went public and 2015 was the year that apple finally came out with the watch. it's had mixed reviews but it's the first iteration. people expect more. look out for a lot more wearables. look out for smart glasses and smart clothes.
7:16 am
your heart beat and your fitness. >> something to look forward to thank you so much. happy new year again. >> matt, thanks. how are you feeling this morning? celebrations to welcome in 2016 raged well into the night across the u.s. and around the world. keir simmons hasashe wrap up of ththhottest parties. >> the world celebrated overnight after what was, for many, a tough year. >> 3, 2, 1. [ cheers ] >> new zealand's countdown setting off fireworks around the globe like a wave of good will. japan, releasing white balloons. hong kong's fireworks designed to look like smiling faces and the skies lit up across the middle east where 2015 brought little to smile about. the threat of terrorism meant
7:17 am
belgium. a shame many said. >> there's noo point in running away from it. have gone ahead with it. >> tourists still piled into bronchusel city center to enjoy the lights and treats. in munich, german police evacuated and shutdown two main train stations after receiving terror threats. berlin tightened security. and partied on.. but in par, still scarred by october's isis massacre, they put on a show of defiance. >> hello 2016. >> and in london, the river was the stage of a new year's extravaganza. while 2016 beganann rio with 2 miion people filling the beach

these messages. no way. savor breakfast any time you like. eggs, sizzzzng sausage, hot cakes, real butter. mcdonald's all day breakfast menu. i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the e sk of them happpping again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less
7:37 am
knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a s snal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleedidi. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less mamar bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.
