to the hospital. e one of them was lightly injured. hundreds of people were confined into security areas and they have been released throughout the morning, but now the whole area here is secured. obviously it's a very difficult situation. the circulation is very difficult around the louvre. the fact is there hasn't been a terrorist attack in paris since the 13th of november 2015, but we know that the threat is still at its highest and it's a major blow because as you said, louvre is one of the top attractions here. it's one of the top attractions in france. it is a blow for the reputation of france. >> claire, thank you very much. we're going to keep posted on that story. now to politics. president trump meets today with his economic advisory council. some of the country's most

dismissing it as lighthearted, others less amused. >> i'm not worried about arnold's ratings, i'm not thinking about his old show, i'm worried about what are we going to do with iran. >> mr. trump leaves this evening for his first presidential get away to be spent, what he calls, the winter white house. his florida estate, mar-a-lago, where first lady melania trump will join him. i'm told he'll be attending a super bowl party at mar-a-lago. back ripping arnold schwarzenegger. he did a really bad job as governor of california and even worse on the apprentice, but at least he tried hard. matt and hoda, back to you. >> peter, thank you so much for that. also this morning, president trump is making new threats against iran after putting that country on notice for test firing a missile. nbc's andrea mitchell has that story. andrea, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. iran and the u.s. as the trump white house prepares to levy new economic sanctions. an adviser to the ayatollah says iran will not be, quote, intimidated by an inexperienced person. this morning racheting up the sanctions on iran. he's leaving more options open. >> nothings o the table. >> u.s. officials say the sanctions are in response to iran's recent missile tests and terrorist activity. top republicans are on board. >> i would be in favor of additional sanctions on iran. i think the last administration appeased iran far too much. >> reporter: in the startling shift from president trump's unquestioning support for israel's controversial settlements during the campaign, the white house is now warning israel new construction of jewish settlements in palestinian settlements is not helpful. on russia the trump administti aoued it will allow some u.s. companies to do limited transactions with kgb.

the australia why are we doing this? what's the purpose? so we'll see what happens. >> reporter: raising eyebrows on capitol hill. >> if politics is music, the president was off key. >> this in my view was an unnecessary and frankly harmful open dispute over an issue which is not nearly as important as you straits/ace straustralian. >> marking his first day as secretary of state, rex tillerson trying to reassure thousands of state department employees, angry about the president's immigration orders. >> i know this was a hotly contested election and we do not all feel the same way about the outcome, but we cannot let our personal convictions overwhelm our ability to work as one team. >> reporter: now among the new secretary of state's challenges, a tweeting president. only this morning president trump tweeting on iran writing they don't appreciate how kind president obama was to them. not me. matt and hoda. >> andrea, don't go away. i'm seeing there's new information about the deadly raid in yemen and perhaps what went wrong. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: the white house is still calling that raid a success despite the loss of a navy seal and children. the president reached the decision after a dinner with his military leaders with steve bannon and jared kushner, his son-in-law, and that led, according to critics, to a lack of intelligence and support on the ground but that is being denied by the white house. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. now to a frightening incident last night at a cheesecake factory restaurant in southern california. pasadena

just the second for the falcons and a first for quarterback matt ryan. >> i feel i believe in our team. i believe in the guys that we have. >> reporter: while ryan is a leading candidate for the league's most valuable player, tom brady is arguably the mvp here at the super bowl. he's been to the big game more than any other player in history. >> you can't take these things for granted. we've been very blessed as part of this organization for the guys that have been on these teams to make it this far, but it's a very steep mountain to climb. >> reporter: after geg emotional earlier in the week when asked to name his hero. >> my dad. >> reporter: brady has been all business. the so-called patriot way, no talk of deflategate and his suspension or his relationships with trump and nfl commissioner roger goodell. >> he doesn't need a lot of motivation to play at a high level because he's done that his whole career, but deep down there has to be a real feeling that we want to show this league. >> reporter: while ner cheap, tickets to the big game are actually less expensive than last year down nearly 14% to just under $4300 stub hub. >> the tickets dropped 30% in five minutes

>> absolutely. japan -- the region is so critical to our future so it's important that the defense secretary went to consult and reassure our allies about our commitment. >> one of the things that donald trump said during the campaign is it's time for japan to step under and shoulder more of the financial burden for its own defense. i have to tell you, that really seemed to resonate with his supporters. is it a fair ask? >> japan already contributes more than any other country. they contribute more than 75% of the costs of the bases and it's in our interests that japan be strong and that our troops be there. that makes us safer here at home. >> but donald trump wts them to contribute even more. if he pushes japan on that issue, how will they respond? how will it impact our relations? >> well, i think you've got to look at the whole relationship. japan is our number one ally i important region going forward in the future and so i think it's got to be looked at both strategically as well as economically. and all the countries out there are really looking to see whether the united states is going to stay as a leader in the region and be reliable and live up to our security and economic commitments or whether they need to make another choice and hedge their bets. and i think that that's really what is at stake here and i think that that's why the prime minister's coming here and that's what president trump needs to focus on. >> you've made some comments talking about how donald trump's comments were received in japan. these are your words. obviously they're concerned when somebody doesn't seem to understand or value the efforts put into this and really what's been built over time. if you could say one thing to now president trump about the importance of that relationship, what would you tell him? >> i'd tell him that having japan as a strong ally and a -- japan's own security helps the unist of economic opportunity for american companies. >> you know, obviously the words that he spoke in his inaugural address where he said from this day forward a new vision will govern our land. from this day forward it's going to be only america first. america first. how are those words, in your opinion, as someone who's had to manage relations between our country and japan, how are those words being greeted in foreign capitals? >> well, i think america derives great benefit from our network of alliances which has been built by people over the last 70 years. and i think that that's really to be taken for granted or to be insulted as an ally who fought along sides the united states, for example, with australia or who contributes a huge amount to american security, in this case japan and korea, is alarming. i think that hopefully the president will, you know, realize the benefits of working with our friendnd >> let me ask you about your work in japan. when you went there three years ago you didn't have any specific experience with japan. no diplomatic experience and i was reading some articles, ambassador kennedy, where the people there greeted you almost as a celebrity, but after three years as you exit i read articles and they talk about you as a very effective diplomat. what was the learning curve like? >> well, actually, i feel that i really grew up honoring the values that my family has stood for, respect for the international order that the united states has built, a commitment to human rights and i think all those things are things that are deeply admired around the world, and i think that that really helped me to work with the japanese. >> you were the first woman to hold that position as u.s. ambassador to japan. do you think you became somewhat of a role model for women in japan? >> the women in japan are incredibly dynamic just like i think to the extent that i was very visible, i hope that hemmehemme helped, but i think overall it's really something that's about the u.s. national interests. >> it is impossible to talk to you without saying what everybody wants to know, are you going to run for office? i mean, do you have after serving as ambassador to japan, do you have aspirations for elected office? >> you know, i just got home so it's great to be home so i really -- >> you've been home a week or so. >> i've been home a week or so, yes. i'm looking around to figure out what i'll do next. >> but wouldn't rule it out? >> i think i'd rather be on morning tv or something. >> like everybody apparently, right? >> exactly right. >> ambassador kennedy, it's a real pleasure to have you here. thank you. >> thank you. >> let's turn to al and get a check of the weather in boston. >> guys, thanks so much. we are here at faneuil hall with a huge crowd. whole bunch of folks. weather wise. the nation is supply the between falcons fans, patriots fans. but temperature wise, too. look at the highs today, northern half of the country. bikford, 29. davenport, 28. south, houston, 59. charleston, 70. 80 miami. everybody's going to warm up as we head on towards the weekend. look at dallas, 53 on saturday, 80 on monday. d.c. 38 on saturday, 54 on monday and memphis, 50 on saturday, 68 on monday. that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening iyo neck of eo well, this morning temperatures are feeling quite a bit colder, feeling like the 20s right now. 27 is what it feels like in the district. 28 in gaithersburg. fredericksburg feels like 30. warm jacket when you walk out the door. co mostly cloudy and chilly. we'll see clearing later on today. the clearing will continue as we go into tomorrow morning. the mid 20s for a low tomorrow morning. highs in the upper 30s. by super bowl sunday, near 50. >> coming up on ultimate battle of the pep rally, we have the mayor of boston versus the mayor of atlanta and we've got an extra special guest star and baby you're going to love it. back to you. >> that's a team. >> that's a good one. i can't take my eyes off the fake tom brady. >> fake tom brady is feeling it now. all right. coming up, we have one final explosive peek at an ad you're going to see during sunday's game. first, the new warning about the new risk laundry detergent packets could pose to y familierit teth. approved for the signs and symptoms of dry eye. one drop in each eye, twice a day. common side effects include eye irritation, and an unusual taste sensation. do not touch the container tip to your eye or any surface. remove contacts before using xiidra and wait for at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. if you have dry eyes, ask your doctor about xiidra. anything meant to stand a body without proper foot needssupport can mean pain. the dr. scholl's kiosk maps your feet and recommends our custom fit orthotic to stabilize your foundation and relieve foot, knee, or lower-back pain from being on your feet. dr. scholl's. and my life is basketball.west, but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years. about once-daily xarelto®... a latest-generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective. targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto®. insurance changes?
