getting really intense. >> and we have nine months before election day. the stakes are high. that is why we are seeing it get so heated. that is the top story. hillary clinton and bernie sanders at a town hall. they have a debate tonight. ted cruz laying in on donald trump for accusing him of illegally stealing the iowa caucuses. we begin our coverage with jackson in manchester, new hampshire. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you and matt said it. today there is a new tone to the front runners feud. donald trump and ted cruz will be barn storming new hampshire but trump is stuckall calling cruz a cheater. >> trump stops for engine trouble. donald trump now demand ag do over after his second place

>> i think i came in first if you take a look. that voter fraud. these politicians are brutal. >> reporter: trump accusing ted cruz of stealing iowa, not winning it echoing ben carson's complaint about some cruz staffers. >> i think it was a disgrace that he did it. i don't think it should be allowed. i think those votes should be taken away. he really lies. i don't like to use that term but he really lies. >> reporter: cruz who is not under investigation came back with his own one liner. >> it is no surprise that donald is throwing another temper tantrum or trumper tantrum. >> he is calling you a cheater, a fraud.

>> donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more upset he gets. my girls are 5 and 7. i have to tell you they are better behaved than a presidential candidate who responds by insulting everyone every day when he loses. >> reporter: the texas senator take ag dig at sarah palin after she accused his campaign of a dirty trick. >> it seems if you spend too much time with donald trump. >> [ laughter ] >> strange things happen to people. >> reporter: a new tone to the feud. on the establishment side jeb bush expected to get backup from george w. bush giving his brother a helping hand when he appears to need it.

prepared to act in the security of this country. to get back in the business of the world. please clap. >> reporter: today two fewer competitors. rand paul and rick santorum dropping out. paul is not expected to endorse anybody before the new hampshire primary. an tor santorum is backing up marco rubio. >> hillary clinton and bernie sanders fielded tough questions in a town hall forum. andrea mitchell is at the university of new hampshire where tonight's event is being held. >> reporter: tonight msnbc debate will be their first debate and only one before the new hampshire primary. they did warm up appearing separately wednesday night. a different side of hillary

night. >> i have had to be in public dealing with difficult issues. >> reporter: saying she relied on a jesuit paraable. >> be grateful for limitations. listen to critics, answer questions but at the end be grateful. >> reporter: critics pounced on how she explained taking $675,000 from wall street for >> i don't know. that is what they offered. >> i do not know any progressive who has these superpacks and takes $15 million from wall street. >> reporter: sanders and clinton have been trading jabs for days over who is the real progressive. >> some of my best friends are moderates. you can't be a moderate and a progressive. they are different. >> i was somewhat amused that

of stealing the election in iowa. number one, is there anything in the substance of it? and is it a smart political attack in. >> i am shocked that political campaigns try to win elections. did they take advantage of the situation with carson. a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes there. it's donald trump playing a little bit of politics. that said, i have to say the more they fight, the more this helps one candidate. not ted cruz, not donald trump but marco rubio. the private polling i have been hearing about over the past two days post iowa indicates that cruz hasn't gotten a bump partly because trump has been beating him up. there is only one guy on the rise. >> nicole, we know the voter base in new hampshire is

are the new hampshire voters emotional voters or are they pragmatic voters? in other words, are they going to go for cruz or trump or look for someone, the best person to beat hillary clinton or whoever the democratic nominee is? >> historically and i feel like i need to give that caveat because nothing has been historic -- for two reasons they are practical voters. in new hampshire independents can participate in each party's primary. you will read people not just choosing between rubio and kasich. you hear between hillary clinton and marco rubio. they are making a completely different appeal. it moves at the edges. and the knife fight between cruz and trump runs a risk of not just each man destroying the other but alienating voters to bring to the camp. >> i don't know if you call it a knife fight but maybe label fight.

clinton and who is the most progressive person in the race. who is getting the better of that one? >> i think it really depends on who you are in the democratic electorate right now. what you are seeing is sanders and the idealism and the bold ideas saying take it to washington and do those things. that is appealing to the younger generation. the pragmatic argument should be one to work well for hillary clinton here in new hampshire particularly on the democratic side. democratic primary voters for years in new hampshire have been a bit more pragmatic, a less idealistic. it should play well here. it hasn't so far. i think tonight's debate will go far in deciding. >> bernie sanders heads to new hampshire. big lead in the polls. he is the guy next door but hillary clinton has faced this before and done well in new hampshire. she is going to pour an enormous amount of resources into the state.

substantially is the momentum victory? >> this is where each candidate is judged on how successfully they manage the expectations game. bernie sanders take a peek at what marco rubio did in iowa. he let the expectations stand that he has to win by a whopper of double digit figure. lose if he wins. >> in 1992 -- >> nobody remembered that. we'll see you tonight. the debate begins at 9:00 eastern time. the mystery deepening this morning over an explosion shortly after takeoff that ripped that hole in the side of a passenger plane in somalia. was it caused by a bomb? >> reporter: we are still trying to figure out what happened here. officials tell us no shrapnel was found inside the plane and

experts say damage from outside sumgs an explosion did occur. this morning the airline says the aircraft was 15 minutes into the flight when a hole was blown in the fuselage. experts say passengers may not have survived if plane was at a higher altitude. witnesses say a passenger was sucked out of the plane. passengers describe seeing smoke. >> i saw white smoke. in a few seconds i did realize. we saw a hole in the plane. >> reporter: in the past u.s. bound planes had been targeted with bombs smuggled into the cabin.

from his shoes. and in 2009 a detroit bound plane he hid explosives in his underwear. in this case officials have not ruled out a failure of the aircraft. we are aware of the reports about the daallo airline flight. a spokesman told nbc news air bus has a team on stand by ready to join the investigation but is waiting for an official request from authorities in somalia. and the turkish airlines flight from the same airline was cancelled. most of the passengers are transferred on to the ill fated flight. they weren't meant to be on that plane and escaped with their lives. new developments in the fight against the zika virus. florida's governor rick scott declared a public health emergency on wednesday in four counties where people have been diagnosed.

cases in florida. scott says he wants officials to be prepared for the possibility that zika could spread. health officials believe all cases are from people who contracted the disease while traveling. the former pharmaceutical executive who raised the price of a drug by 5,000% is appearing on capitol hill today but we don't expect to hear much from him. >> that temporary price hike had critics calling him the most hated man in america. known for speaking his mind his legal team wants him to keep quiet. the former drug company ceo known for raising drug prices and his voice now uncharacteristically quiet. >> from hence forward he does not speak to any member of the press. >> reporter: his new attorney imposing a gag order after the client appeared on charges of

the charges are not relate today controversial price hike for life saving pill for hiv. he increased the price from $13.50 to $750. that newly imposed is silence -- >> he will be invoking -- >> reporter: he was talkative tuesday on power 105. >> i'm telling you i'm from the street. >> reporter: where he spoke about everything from donald trump to a video he released last week. >> you think it's okay to beef with me. >> slap him in the face. >> you wouldn't. >> he has been feuding with the rapper ever since spending $2 million for the one and only copy of the latest album. >> he is taking shots with me. in the hip hop game it's not

thing without jumping back. >> you're not hip hop. >> whatever. doesn't matter, man. >> and while he is still tweeting out insults online when it comes to legal matters his lawyer is doing the talking splmpt dw not . >> his high profile persona impacting profits. the stock portfolio dropped from $45 million to $4 million. such a bizarre guy. >> see why the lawyers are like enough of the chatting. the criminal sexual assault case against bill cosby is moving forward. a pennsylvania judge refused to throw out the case on wednesday rejecting the defense's claim that the former district attorney promised not to prosecute cosby. the judge found that promise was

and does not prevent current charges. he has denied any criminal wrong doing. an update to a story last week. calgary flames defenseman dennis wideman, the man who claimed he was woozy after a hit and accidently cross-checked a linesman. the league suspended him for 20 games. so that is what happens when you accidently cross-check a linesman. >> might have seen that one coming. to the video we showed you at the top of the show we are getting a glimpse at the only known wild jaguar in the united states. the adult male has been seen by remote censor camera before but until now has never been captured on video. conservation activists say

u.s. due to population control. >> much rather see them on video. what's going on? >> we have more wet weather to talk about and maybe a little snow storm, too. look at what happened in the carolinas. strong winds, heavy rain combining to bring down power lines, trees on to homes, knocking down massive structures, really make ag mess and there is more on the way today. look at what we have on the radar. some areas maybe looking at three to four inches of rain and this is all streaming up along a frontal system that will lay along the coast. as we get into cape hatteras we are talking about some areas up to three inches of rain in a three-hour time period. here is another thing we are watching, a mini winter storm threat in the southeast massachusetts area. rain and wet snow move in from the south tonight.

that carson headed home to florida suggesting he was getting out of the race so why vote for a guy getting out of the race. last night donald trump spoke on fox news about this issue. >> i think it was a disgrace that he did it. allowed. i think those votes should be he really lies. i don't like to use that term but he really lies. investigating this. ted cruz came out and said i apologize, but the way he apologized was saying cnn reported this. we took breaking news and told our grass roots supporters to take the word out. he said he is not going to discipline anyone inside of his campaign. trump is not buying it. he wants a re-election in iowa which is not going to happen. >> it is no surprise that donald is throwing yet another temper

tantrum. >> he is calling you a cheater, a fraud. does this cross the line for you? >> listen, donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more. we need a commander in chief, not a twitterer in chief. my girls are 5 and 7 and are better behaved than a presidential candidate who responds by insulting everyone every day when he loses. >> senator cruise z talking to jackson last night. anderson cooper asking hillary clinton about speaking fees from firms like goldman sachs after she resigned as secretary of state. >> one thing senator sanders
