on a it's been her fight for twenty years. something is wrong with our healthcare system and it needs to be fixed. then, it was about health reform and getting eight million kids covered. now, it's about stopping republicans from repealing obamacare, and taking on insurance companies to bring

down drug prices. i'm not going to let any family be deprived of healthcare. i'm not going to let the republicans rip up obamacare and throw it away. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. america's never been a country of quitters. it's not who we are. we don't ignore threats like climate change. we face our problems head-on. with american-made clean energy, we can end our dependence on foreign oil... spark new innovation... and create millions of new jobs. starts with 50% clean energy by 2030.

jean: welcome back. the pentagon's inspector general is expanding the investigation into allegations that u.s. intelligence officials doctored reports about isis to make it look like the u.s. made more progress against the terror group. josh: tonight there are new questions about reports on the efforts in afghanistan. ab's lana zak has the story.

back in washington and amid growing fears of the terrorist threat of isil, another troubling report, this time about the very intelligence he has been receiving. president obama: one of the things i insisted on the day i walked into the oval office was that i don't want intelligence shaded by politics. i don't want it shaded by the desire to tell a feel good story. we can't make good policy unless we have good accurate intelligence. lana: it fears that the intelligence coming out of central command may have been altered to present a more optimistic picture of the u.s. fight against isil. president obama: it's not as if i have been receiving wonderfully rosie glowing portraits of what is happening in iraq and syria over the last year and a half. at my level, we have a clean eyed sober assessment of where

where we have not. lana: the president and others are calling for an expanded investigation. josh earnest insisting the president never encouraged withholding bad news. >> he would rather get that information and make changes to the strategy where necessary than not. lana: there is more troubling news, the head of the house intelligence committee, in addition to isil in syria, he is concerned about altered reports from afghanistan. lana zak, washington. jean: many cities will have extra security on hand for holiday events this week, some of those new resources were planned before last week's attacks in paris. new york has two new police units this year, one specifically focused on counterterrorism, another created to handle large incidents like protests. yesterday new york held a drill on how to respond to an active shooter on a subway. and if you are traveling this week, expect to see tighter security at airports.

the t.s.a. has added more staff and says it will carry out more procedures like random hand swabbing. it also plans to require more people to remove their shoes and have laptops checked even if they are in t.s.a.'s prechecked program. josh: here is another headache for air travelers, the chances of your plane getting stuck on the tarmac are going up, even though you see more flights arriving on time according to the boards, an "associated press" analysis that only means that the plane has landed and not getting to the gate. the time spent taxiing is at its highest points since 1995 looking at an average of 23:32 per flight. the report also says that one out of every five extra minutes can be traced to delays at one airport and that would be chicago's o'hare. jean: mother nature wasn't weekend. snow. it's been 120 years since that

city got this much snow at this time of year. a deep freeze spread across much of the midwest grounding flights and creating icy roads. temperatures in chicago, though, climbed back into the 30's today and will be staying mild this week. >> now chief meterologist mike haddad with your storm watch 9 forecast. mike: i'm sure they're pretty thankful that it didn't hit in the next couple of days as we get closer to the thanksgiving holiday like it happened around here of course one year ago. take a look at the beautiful scene, it's a deceiving bright sky, ok, it was, of course the sun now down and we're starting to lose a little bit in terms of the temperatures after topping off only in the upper 30's for the coldest day since back on april 9. down into the 20's and right now these are not wind chills, these are actual numbers on the thermometer, zero over 6,000 feet up, 30's elsewhere. here is the busy wind out of the northwest, it's been active all day long, up to 25 miles per hour. you factor in the temperature and the wind and here we go.

show you the wind chills, yeah, they are quite chilly right now at that. upper teens north, 32 below atop mount washington, 20's elsewhere. you get the idea, a winter feel is out there right now. overnight tonight, mostly clear skies and the winds will abate a little bit. temperatures will fall off quite a bit. coldest morning so far in concord, down to 16, a good shot of getting close to that upper teens and 20's and 10 in downtown manchester. if you're ready to hit the game tonight, you're one of the lucky ones. make sure you bundlele up because it is going to be chilly, kickoff at 8:30 and temperatures around that time just above 32, but again the wind will make it feel even a little bit cooler. country right now. it is chilly over the midwest and great lakes, it warms up nicely, points south. some is moving on in our direction along about later tomorrow afternoon it will be right on our doorstep so that

by wednesday, we're right back to average and above that as we go into thanksgiving and black friday. clear sailing for tonight, a few high clouds will drift in towards the morning. there could be a full afternoon flurries tomorrow, mostly in the great north woods and white mountains and all of that moves out to the east and take a look, it's beautiful weather up and down the eastern seaboard, the big travel day on wednesday, no major headaches weatherwise for wednesday and for that matter thursday and probably even into friday. here is a look at those temperatures tomorrow, chilly, overnight tonight, 30's, turning into 20's and teens. tomorrow, we get back to the mid 30's and the lower 40's south. a chance of a few flurries across the mountains. clear and cold, single digits far teens far north, teens for many, 20's in downtown manchester, back to the coast and nashua, right along the lakeshores. for the next several days ahead, a lot of people

traveling out and about and the weather will not get in the way whatsoever for the next few days, sunny skies with clouds mixed tomorrow, more sun on wednesday. notice for thanksgiving day, we're into the low at least low 50's, maybe a couple of spots near 55. notice on friday, we approach 60 with the most sun in southern new hampshire and then a cool front will slip on through early on saturday with a few rain changing to snow showers in the mountain. it's that typical late november feel, but storm-free. josh: indeed. jean: that's what we like to hear. josh: chilly at foxborough. mike: mainly for the bills. josh: the colder temperatures mean the return of chapped skin. jean: we'll have some tips to back. josh: at 5:30, some animals are

it's called a rigged economy, and this is how it works. most new wealth flows to the top 1%. it's a system held in place where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections. my campaign is powered by over a million small contributions, people like you who want to fight back. the truth is you can't change a corrupt system by taking its money. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message.

josh: welcome back. a $160 billion deal would create the world's biggest drug through. jean: pfizer announced plan to buy allergan. it would save the country in hundreds of millions of dollars in u.s. taxes, the combined headquarters would be in ireland, that would save the company's, that is. regulatored have to approve

josh: you may not have to shell out the extra bucks for name brand drugs. here is abc's dr. timothy johnson to explain how new guidelines for doctors could save you money. dr. johnson: when your doctor writes you a prescription, it may be time for you to speak up and ask for a generic version of the drug. the american college of physicians just published a new guideline recommending that all doctors should be prescribing generic meds when possible instead of name brand equivalents because medicines with a brand name usually aren't better, they're just more expensive. that's not just an opinion. scientific research has shown that generic drugs usually are just as effective as their pricy counterparts. speaking up as a patient, either to your doctor or to the pharmacist could save billions of consumer dollars annually and it's more likely to fill a prescription and take the meds if they cost less. so generics, your bank and your

with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. jean:'s winter's cold weather can be tough on our skin. dermatologists say there are steps you can take it. moisturize your skin daily to prevent it from drying out. shower using warm water, hot water can clear the skin of its natural oils. keep the oils in your skin by using products with petroleum. josh: a new study, a good breakfast helping students do better in school. they are twice as likely to get above average scores on assessment tests. it has to be a healthy breakfast because students who are junk food in the morning didn't see any benefit at all. even the best cooks can get overwhelmed on thanksgiving, but the pros are already standing by to help you out, that is straight ahead on news 9 at 5:30. jean: good grades for dartmouth with dangerous behaviors on campus.

now to our u local hotshot, a bright burst of pink in this morning's sunrise, this was gorgeous. this was captured over marlboro. you can submit your pictures and video jeb bush: leadership means you've got to be all in. it's not about yappin'. it's not about talking. it's about doing. i know how to do this because i was privileged to serve in florida for eight years. and we turned the systems upside down that weren't working. 1.3 million new jobs were created. we cut taxes every year. income rose in people's pockets. people were lifted out of poverty. children started to learn. as president of the united states, i pledge to you that i will solve problems. announcer: right to rise usa is responsible for the

increased terror threats are behind the escalated warning that was just released moments ago. jean: a review panel says dartmouth college is making a chance to change on campus, a panel appointed to review those changes says it's first report, that during its first report, it was too early to tell what impact the changes are having, but the panel says the college is on the right track. well, apple is already reporting shortages of some popular accessories. up next, there are places to find them, but you will have to pay up. josh: and cyber monday looks a little different this year. we'll tell you what you need to know to capitalize on the best deals. mike: a little chilly right now, how much longer when things will change, a look at the rest of the holiday week ahead. jean: people get nervous about making that thanksgiving feast. you might be surprised how many

josh: the closing bell provided by the new york stock exchange, not a great day to started shortened workweek on wall street, dow jones dropping 30 points and the s&p 500 and the nasdaq also down, but with a combined loss of less than five points. how about gas prices, they're

looking at $2.07, flip-flopped, we're a penny more expensive. triple-a says the national average could fall below $2 by christmas. that would be nice. some popular tech items are in short supply this holiday season. jean: apple says the pencil stylus and the smart keyboard for its ipad pro are already sold out. there is a four to five-week waiting period. there are some available on ebay, but the demand has pushed up the prices, some are selling for more than $600. josh: cyber monday started in part because that was the day that many people went back to work where they had better internet access. most shoppers have fast access at home or smart phones, retailers are starting early. amazon, one of the world's largest online retailers launched its deal last week. wal-mart is promising to have four times more online deals this year compared to last. target says this cyber monday will have the biggest deals it's ever offered and it's

jean: a big relief for granite staters because there is no chance of repeating the winter storm that knocked out power last thanksgiving. that storm really dampened the holiday plans for more than 274,000 customers and it took days to restore the power. josh: wmur's josh mcelveen talked to utility companies about the changes they have made to improve response times the next time there is a big storm. >> the thanksgiving storm underscored the need for all of the investments we have been years. josh: and one of those investments by eversource is already on line. >> it includes a state-of-the-art incident command center so we can get better information more quickly and be able to respond more happen. we have had a lot of major storms probably in the last

eight or nine years and as a result of all of those, we have been undergoing a lot of changes, a lot of investments, a lot of infrastructure work both here at our headquarters and in our system. josh: last week's thanksgiving storm wasn't a surprise, many were able to plan their travel around the worst conditions. what few expected is how widespread the electrical outages would be resulting in powerless thanksgiving dinners and cold houses for visitors. the snow moved in from west to east on wednesday morning and before you knew it, everything had turned white and was piling up quickly. heaviest amounts stacked up in the interior portions of the granite state, as much as 12 to 17 inches fell, several inches even reached the coast. concurred set a record for that date receiving 10.3 inches on wednesday alone and adding a couple more in the days that followed. because temperatures had hovered mostly in the 30's, it fell as an extremely heavy

handle widespread repair work during a major holiday. eversource is rolling out a new tool, devices in the field that warn them right away when there is an outage. >> we know within a certain area who is out and how many people are out. the phone calls are still very helpful, but we're getting closer to knowing exactly who is out when there is a power failure. josh: most are in place now, the full system will be statewide by next year. klinsmann says other recent effort is updating infrastructure with better, stronger materials to withstand what may come in this and future winters. josh judge, wmur news 9. >> now chief meterologist mike haddad with your storm watch 9 forecast. mike: a year ago and a whole different weather pattern this time around. take a look at our time lapse out from the coast today at market square where it started off a little bit damp due to the rain showers that moved through late last night. during the course of the day, sunshine drying things up quickly and the wind helped out as well in terms of drying

pittsburgh and stewartstown heading for the single digits during the overnight stretch. we have the cold air in place right now and the wind not helping matters. it has shut down a little bit in northern sections. the wind chill and temperature nearly one and the same. where the winds are still active, it feels about five or 10 degrees colder when you factor in the winds and add the temperature in there. right now, only disturbance on the map is sitting in the great lakes. that's triggering a few snow showers. that will tend to move across northern sections during tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, but central southern parts of the state should be dry. here is a look region wide across the state, upper 30's and lower to mid 40's across southern sections, similar temperatures as we get through claremont and new london down towards concord and in the heart of lakes region, 40 dress, a little cooler with the snow showers, lower 30's up through pittsburgh, mid to upper 30's as you get farther to the south.
