Chanel jones is in this morning. Good morning and happy new year. Good morning and happy new year. Officials in dubai are still trying to figure out what caused a massive fire that engulfed a high rise hotel on new years eve. The luxury hotel is blocks away from the burj khalifa, the worlds tallest building where dubai held a fireworks celebration despite smoke from the fire. The hotel and Apartment Building caught fire a couple hours before the midnight fireworks show. According to dubai officials 14 people were injured in the fire. Breaking news in israel, a gunman opened fire in a popular bar in tel aviv, killing at least two people, and wounding three others. One witness said the assailant had waited on a bench outside before taking a machine gun out of a bag and shooting in every direction. The gunman then fled triggering a massive manhunt for the attacker. The motive is not clear. Back home an alleged isis supporter has been arrested and accused of planning an armed attack in upstate new york on new years eve. 25yearold Emmanuel Lutchman went on with an fbi informant to a walmart in rochester on tuesday to buy supplies for the operation. They allegedly bought ski masks, knives, a machete, duct tape and ammonia. Officials say he planned to attack diners at a local restaurant. Some communities along the Mississippi River are still bracing for the peak of flooding thats already damaged hundreds of homes and businesses. Nbc National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer is in st. Louis. Miguel, good morning. Le. Sheinelle, good morning. The mississippi behind me began to surge overnight and crest overnight. It should reach about 12 feet above flood stage later on this afternoon, as what was predicted. Now the waterway behind me is still very dangerous, it is said to be moving at ten times the speed of niagara falls. Theres good news here in downtown st. Louis, theres no major damage, and theres actually fairly good news for most of this region, theres been no catastrophic damage. Now, there has been some bad news. Roughly 150 homes in this area have been damaged or destroyed. And we know at least 20 people have died. A long day ahead. Sheinelle, back to you. Miguel, thank you. And then there were two. College footballs National Championship game is now set. Alabama had no problem at all in its cotton bowl matchup against michigan state. A pair of touchdowns for the crimson tide in the 380 win.

Clemson and alabama will play for the National Title on january 11th. Lets take a look at the weather. Much of the nation will be dry for new years 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 i should say to the carolina coast. Around the great lakes expect breezy and cold conditions with lakeeffect snow. We should also say some areas in Northern New York could see one to two feet of snow. Buffalo could be between two and four inches of snow. Well get to your local weather in 30 seconds. Thats a look at the weather on this new years day. Now back to savannah. Chanel, thank you so much. Were 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 nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Happy new year. Good to see you. Finally. This is the election year. Everybody is talking about it. Its still fluid. Before we get to the individuals in the race, chuck, at what point in the coming year will things start to really take shape . Actually i think its going 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 its all culminated in this career. This is why we have donald trump. Lets 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 didnt take it seriously. Its amazing to see how he dominated the political calendar. So the question is what is his path to nomination . Its to keep winning. His is simple because theres so many forces trying to stop him. If he is at all short a party will do whatever it takes preventing him from getting the nomination. Hes not ever going to be a compromise candidate. Hes not going to see people rally around his side to say hes 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 dont. But trump made him look that way. If there was no donald trump we would be talking about the top ted cruz movement in the party and everything it would take to stop ted cruz from getting the nomination. Which has the establishment panicked. We cant kill them both. People say i cant believe we might have to accept the idea of a cruz nomination. But heres 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 be too far to the right to win a general election but hell at least be disciplined and they think trump you have no idea what he might say. Early states are important. Lets talk about marco rubio. Perhaps hes the republican that Hillary Clintons campaign fears the most. How long can he go without winning. It depends on how he finishes. Look, he can make progress if its 3rd in iowa. 2nd in new hampshire, and it looks like it is a movement. Bill clinton did it this way. He didnt 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 well see if this month plays out differently. He made a mistake almost cedeing iowa to cruz. I dont 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, its funny, were going to find out in less than two weeks. Well have an earlier than ever state of the union and i have been promised that it will be unlike any state of the union we have ever seen. Its not going to be your typical laundry list of what hes going to try to do. Its 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. Well see if he can pull it off. I heard president s before saying were going to redo how the state of the union is done. But heres why it does matter. Hillary clinton wins or loses based upon how voters feel about Barrack Obama on election day. If hes below 45 job approval she probably doesnt win. Get comfortable in that chair. Youll be here a lot in the coming years, chuck. Thank you. Another big issue in the election and 2016 the threat from isis here at home and also overseas. Richard engle is nbcs chief foreign correspondent. Richard, good morning to you. Happy new year. Its good to be with you. Happy new year with you. I wish there were happier news on the Foreign Policy front. Lets talk about this fight against isis. What a consequential year we have just been through. From the military standpoint what do you think 2016 holds . 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 the year ahead in 2016, were 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 pulled into this like never before. Do you think the coalition has a fighting chance of really getting together and really making an impact . Thats the one thing i am some what hopeful for. Everyone now sort of accepts that isis is a universal threat. You have iran saying that. 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 better to try to defeat this common enemy. I hope that logic prevails in 2016. Well see if it does. But the thorniest part of that of course is what is going to happen to Bashar Al Assad in syria and theres been this diplomatic track of talks on how to manage a political solution 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 theyll also be accepting that 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 wont hear a lot of talk about Bashar Al Assad. Instead theyll talk about fighting isis. Fighting isis together. But the assumption will be once isis starts to get weakened then youll have to address one of the root causes of isis which is Bashar Al Assads continued presence 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. Well be speaking to you a lot this 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 the economy took a backseat so 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. Thats 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 this the time to do it . How will it impact us . So the fed is basically saying that were 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 theyre saying the economy improved enough. Gdp is growing at 2. 5 . They think were read do do away with ultra low rates and theyre raising them a bit. But a lot of people say that could stall the economy. Its a middle ground. For sure. Thats why they waited so long to do this. Its 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. Lets go back there because theyre 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 were 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. Its a big win for american shoppers and american manufacturers and good news for the car companies. One risk though energy jobs. Thats been a big driver of job growth here in the u. S. If technology is an important part of the economy. Whats the Technology Headline going to be . All the buzz is about these unicorns. Thats what we call start up companies valued at more than a billion dollars and im thinking of companies such as airbnb and uber, they have these astronomical evaluations. A all of them come out of the sharing economy. The thing is theres a lot of legal questions around their Business Models so nobody can really say what theyre worth. So stay tuned to those companies. So big question mark on those. Big question mark. This is more specific when it comes to technology. Everybody is Walking Around with these i dont 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. Its had mixed reviews but its the first iteration. People expect more. Look out for a lot more wearables. Look out for smart glasses and smart clothes. Clothes with threads that can track your workout and monitor your heart beat and your fitness. Something to look forward to in a lot of different areas. 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 has the wrap up of the hottest parties. The world celebrated overnight after what was, for many, a tough year. 3, 2, 1.

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 paris, still scarred by octobers isis massacre, they put on a show of defiance. Hello 2016.

Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil 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 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. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. 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 major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. After trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. Love at first taste.

Here to preview the music shows and movies we should be watching for is the deputy editor. Happy new year. Happy new year. We have the Golden Globes around the corner. Lets start with the best movie in a drama. What are you going for . Spotlight on this one. It tells the story of a team of reporters at the boston globe investigating child abuse. Its a really tough story to tell and there arent a lot of bells and whistles on this one. Its not like you have cgi and big car chases. Its a stripped down story and tells it so well. All about the story and the acting. Phenomen if he nomin if he nominal. A lot of people are looking at leo dicaprio. Thats right. Hes struggling for survival. This could be his year. Lets look at the best actress side of things. Brie larson is getting a lot of buzz for room. She is an actress from the indy film world and room is about a woman that is held captive in a room for most of her adult life. Ends up having a child by her captor. Its all about the casting and they nailed it. I like the Golden Globes because they have best drama and best comedy category. What do you think might win in the best comedy category . Were looking at the martian. Interesting that it was nominated as a comedy. But didnt it make you laugh . Its about an astronaut that left on mars, struggling for survival. Unless youre that astronaut. But the dialogue is really funny. The character matt damon plays has a great sense of humor. We think its tipped to win. What are the highlights when it comes to looking at television . One of the big highlights is mr. Robot. That was an interesting show that came out of nowhere. Its about a hacker turned activist. And you know it stars an unknown going into the first season and just captures critics attention. And you look at him as possibly best actor for tv as well. Thats right. He is definitely leading the pack. John hamm is also up there. Can i jump ahead to music. Sure. The end of 2015 was all about adele and selling a billion copies of 25. What are we looking for in terms of releasing new music in 2016 . Well be see ago deing adele out. But david bowie will be back with his 25th album. Getting good buzz too. Yes. The music staff loves the first single off of it. Sia will be out with a new album. Isnt kanye west possibly going to bring new music out . Were hoping for it.

Welcome back on this first day of the year. Tamron is over in the orange room for carson this morning and i guess you have some questions. The questions are not from me but from our viewers. We have been collecting questions on instagram using the orange room. Lets jump in. Here we go. Be honest, have you stayed up until midnight every year on new years. Not even close. Really . No. I thought you said you set your alarm clock and wake up at midnight. Ive done that in the past so i could be there with my kids but on average 80 of the time i dont make it to midnight. Were in bed by 9 30. They have a saying that whatever youre doing when the new year rings in is what youll be doing all year. Sleeping. Okay. Here we go. We got another one. Id like to ask whats the longest you ever kept a new years resolution. Guys. Not sure i ever kept one, really. I would say i made a resolution to be fit and run more and i kept that one since i was about 16. Yeah. You kept that one for an annoyingly long time.
