For more on this story, lets bring in matthew belloni, who is the executive editor of the hollywood reporter. Hes in our l. A. Bureau this morning. Matthew, good morning to you. Good morning. Shes only 60 years old. Do we know if Carrie Fisher had any recent Health Concerns . We dont know if she had anything heart related or anything related to this particular incident, but shes been very open about some of her other Health Struggles over the year, everything from depression to alcoholism to some electroshock therapy that she underwent to help with her depression. Shes been open about these types of things, some bipolarism as well. Its unrelated its unknown if any of this had anything to do with what happened, but she has had some Health Issues in the past. We know she is involved in the next star wars movie. Where in that where are they in that film in terms of production . Well, a spokesperson for disney told me yesterday that production on episode viii of star wars is wrapped, theyre finished. That doesnt mean there isnt some voiceover or other ancillary things to be done, but the main filming of the film is over. So, if you would, could you talk a little about Carrie Fishers historical place in hollywood . Absolutely. I mean, she may be known around the world as Princess Leia, but in hollywood she really is royalty, everything from her upbringing with two very famous parents, she starred in a Warren Beatty movie in high school. In 1973 she was in shampoo, that was her debut, and she filmed star wars when she was 19 years old. It seems like shes been famous forever because she has her entire life, and not only as an actress, shes an accomplished writer, an author, and in hollywood she is a wellknown script doctor, meaning she works on screenplays and helps as a writer behind the scenes as much as she is in front of the camera. What an incredible career shes had, and lets hope it continues. Matthew belloni, we really appreciate your analysis this morning. No problem. And a reminder, keep it here on abc news and abcnews. Com. Well be updating Carrie Fishers condition all day long. Rebecca, over to you. Keeping her in our thoughts this morning. We are turning now to a holiday terror warning. Federal authorities taking the move following isis calling for attacks on churches across america. Abcs Gloria Rivera has more from our washington bureau. And good morning to you, gloria. Reporter good morning, rebecca. Thats right. This new bulletin comes at a time of heightened vigilance around the world after the deadly attack in berlin. The specifics here are deeply troubling as so many plan to attend religious services this christmas sunday. [ sirens ] this morning a new warning from the countrys top counterterror teams just as christmas arrives. Isis is calling for its supporters to target churches around the u. S. In a joint bulletin fbi and Homeland Security officials are urging police to remain vigilant during this Holiday Season after isis on december 21st published a link to a website containing the names and addresses of churches in the u. S. And called on supporters to attack them. Even a person with no direct ties to a terrorist organization can still represent a threat to this country. Reporter the bulletin says the link elicited posts that went further urging sympathizer to carry out socalled aspirational attacks in markets, hotels, coffee shops in the u. S. , canada, france and the netherlands. Authorities believe the berlin assailant, tunisian migrant anis amri, recorded this video praising the leader of isis days before killing 12 people and injuring 48 more monday when he drove a massive church through the Christmas Market in berlin. Amri was killed in a shootout with Police Friday morning in milan after a manhunt stretching across europe. Back here in the u. S. , counterterror Officials Say isis supporters have released similar lists in the past. But none have resulted in a successful attack. In this latest bulletin officials said they are not tracking a specific target at this time. Dan. Gloria, thank you. The other Major Political and security issue swirling as we head into the holidays involves the holyland, the u. N. Security council just passed a measure criticizing israel, the measure the Obama Administration refused to block. Donald trump is now speaking out and abcs mary bruce is on the story from washington. Mary, good morning. Reporter good morning. Yeah, the Obama Administration going out with a bang delivering a shocking rebuke of israel. The white house allowing that highly symbolic censure to pass through the u. N. The Security Council passing that measure condemning israel for building settlements in occupied territories, even though theres longstanding policy of shielding israel. Now, donald trump had put enormous pressure on the Obama Administration to veto the resolution, but instead they abstained from voting, and now on twitter trump is making clear he is not happy tweeting as to the u. N. , things will be different after january 20th. Now, trump is also taking a starkly different position from president obama on another key Foreign Policy issue this morning, nuclear security. The president elect is now suggesting adversaries should bring it on welcoming a new nuclear arms race. Trump reportedly saying that america will outlast and outmatch any other global power. Now, trumps team says that they respect that there is only one president at a time, but that donald trump is certainly not someone who is going to sit back and wait. Dan and rebecca. Certainly not expecting that from him. No. To sit back and wait. Interesting to see these differences between the incoming and outgoing president. Thank you, mary bruce, in our washington bureau. A lot of other news this morning, and for that, as always, its over to dr. Ron claiborne. I knew you were going to say that. Its one of those mornings i felt like calling you doctor. I could feel it coming. Good morning to you, dr. Dan harris. Rebecca and tony, everyone. The doctor is in the house. Good morning, everyone. Were going to begin in arkansas where the suspect in that road rage incident that killed a 3yearold boy is behind bars this morning held without bail. 33yearold greg holmes, who had been hiding ever since the incident last weekend, turned himself in to little rock police. He is accused of firing into a vehicle because he was angry at the driver for not going fast enough. The bullet struck the drivers grandson, seated behind her. Police say that after firing that bullet, he told the woman, quote, thats what you get. Overseas passengers held hostage by two hijackers who commandeered a libyan plane with 117 people on board now making their way home. The men threatening to blow up the plane, and they were demanding to be flown to malta where they were taken into custody within hours of the landing. The hijackers released their hostages unharmed. Authorities say initial exams show that their weapons were fake. And university of oklahoma football star joe mixon is apologizing for punching a woman back in 2014. No, never, never okay to, you know, retaliate and hit a woman. Video of that altercation was released last week. Mixon accepted a plea deal and was suspended for one season. He will play in the sugar bowl on january 2nd against auburn. And in california, the first lawsuit has been filed in that deadly warehouse fire in oakland that killed 36 people. The parents of a 20yearold College Student who died in the blaze are blaming the buildings owner and tenant saying that their daughter was trapped because of unsafe conditions in that building. And following complaints by some of its dancers, the company that manages the rockettes is saying now that they are not forcing them to perform at the president ial inauguration. Their appearance is strictly voluntary. Anyone who does not want to perform does not have to, this after some members of the dance troupe took to social media to complain about performing for donald trump next month. And finally a tsa agent in los angeles at l. A. X. Reminding passengers about the rules for getting through Airport Security but with some holiday cheer. Check it out. Oh liquid, gels, aerosols, lotions, gels and creams take them out of your bags send it through the machine he may own copyright residuals for using that. Some of the agents say theyre more likely to remember them if they hear them in song. Of course, other agents believe they say it over and over again without song and eventually itll sink in. No amount of singing will reduce my annoyance when they tell me to take my shoes off. I think we should start singing right now. I think you have to sing a song, dan. No, that will not happen.
