And the other big showdown, super bowl 50. The game plan, the security preps, and whos the new name added to the halftime show . And good evening from manchester. Thank you for joining us on one of the most important nights of the president ial race so far. You can see this crowd right here gathering behind me. Tonights Republican Debate could be a complete game changer. The debate field now win noted down to seven candidates. Donald trump back in the mix this time after skipping that iowa debate. The latest poll numbers just now coming in showing he is still the clear frontrunner, marco rubio and ted cruz right there tied for second place and this, take a look, a live look at the debate hall right now. The Energy Building all across this state but especially right here where the candidates will soon face each other and the nation. Our team is covering it all and abcs tom llamas starts us off tonight. Reporter tonight the stage is set and candidates like senators ted cruz and marco rubio getting a feel for the stage that could change the direction of this race. Rubio expected to take on the most fire tonight, his poll numbers rising and so are the attacks against him. Like from cruz whos reminding voters who really won in iowa. What did you think about the really impressive third place finish of marco rubio . Thats an odd collection of words, impressive third place finish. Reporter rubio calling out cruz for his campaigns efforts on caucus day to suggest dr. Ben carson was dropping out of the race, which was not true. By the way you if get a call tuesday night saying i dropped out its a lie, keep viting. Reporter starting the fight early tweeting today, wow, jeb bush, Whose Campaign is a total disaster had to bring in mommy to take a slap at me. Not nice. Vote for jeb. Yoeshgs, yeah. Reporter but that tweet is not stopping 90yearold barbara bush. He doesnt give many answers as to how he would solve problems. He makes faces and says insulting things. Reporter jeb bringing in his famous mother to help lift his campaign off life support. Today, an encouraging sign, a crowd of more than 600. Bush says hes his own man but wont run from his famous last name. People will have to get over it, all right. Its s if [ applause ] i am who i am. You know, its im in this the establishment. Reporter part of the poll of governors that includes Chris Christie and john kasich hoping for a miracle in New Hampshire. Today kasich getting a boost from another notable republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger who compared him to the bulletproof robot that made him famous. It absolutely would not stop. Ever, never give up. So this is you. You are the terminator. Tom, youre hearing one of the biggest fights tonight might actually be a rematch . Reporter thats right, cecilia. Get ready for jeb bush versus marco rubio, part two. All week bush has been hammering rubio saying he has zero accomplishments, a top bush aide even calling rubio a noshow lobbyist and says jeb bush is desperate and they are going to be ready for figure that happens tonight and, cecilia, i want to point out tonight both those men will be standing right next to each other on that stage. Anything could happen. Tom llamas covering the republican race every step of the way, tom, thank you. One reason tonights debate could shape the direction of this race, nearly half of all Republican Voters in New Hampshire have yet to make up their minds so what are they weighing to hear. Heres abcs jon karl. Reporter as the candidates make the final push in New Hampshire. Showtime is over. Its game time. Reporter the republican race is tightening. Donald trump still leads all the polls, but marco rubio is rising. And cruz, kasich and bush not far behind. Its just three days to go before the primary and at the chez vachon diner in manchester, we found folks ready to pick a president , well, almost. Clearly youve made up your mind now, right . Well, we havent. Reporter you havent made up your mind . We havent made up our mind. Reporter hes not alone. Amazingly, more than 40 of likely Republican Voters in New Hampshire say they still havent made up their minds. Hes narrowed it down to trump, rubio or cruz. I think were stuck on, will we actually have the nerve to vote for trump . I mean, thats really where were stuck. Reporter so when you go in there, are you able to pull the lever for donald trump is the question . A year ago, i couldnt imagine voting for trump. Reporter but there are two groups who seem totally decided, those who like the frontrunner donald trump. Reporter no matter what . No matter what. I heard him. I liked what he had to say. And im voting for him 100 . No changing my mind. Reporter and those who dont. I definitely know i would not vote for trump. Thats all i really know. Reporter but New Hampshire voters have a long history of making up their minds late and surprising everybody. After barack obama won the Iowa Caucuses eight years ago, he was way ahead in the polls here in New Hampshire, but ended up losing to Hillary Clinton. This time its the republicans who seem most undecided. So, when will you make up your mind up, finally, totally make your mind up . Id say really after this last debate. So many people till waiting to make up their minds. Jon joins me now in the debate hall too. Donald trump not at that last debate. We know he will be here tonight. What are you hearing from the campaign about his strategy . Reporter well, Trumps Campaign manager says that if he is attacked tonight he will respond in kind times ten. But we really dont know what which donald trump will show up tonight. Weve seen two in recent days. Weve seen him go nuclear on his opponents, accuse ted cruz of cheating in iowa but weve also seen him show incredible restraint, cecilia, we have never seen him debate after a loss, we just dont know which one will show up. We will see it soon, jon. Thanks, abc political analyst matt dowd is here with me too. You have called this debate crucial. Who has the most to win, who has the most to lose. Pivotal for all seven but id like to focus on three folks, john kasich has put all his chips on the table here. Hes done 100 town halls and he has to figure out a way tonight to jump himself to second or third if hes going to move on. The other person that has the most to gain is jeb bush. Jeb bush has spent more money than any other candidate in this race and if jeb bush doesnt finish in the top four on tuesday, then his candidacy is on life support. Donald trump has the most to lose. He has been ahead and he is ahead by double digits. He has led 70 straight polls since july here and he cannot afford another second place finish, otherwise his campaign is seriously impaired. The whole team covering it all. Matt, youll be back later. Thank you. The countdown is on for the Democratic Candidates too. Bernie sanders, the favorite son here. Hillary clinton the underdog. She was out going doortodoor herself today while he was speaking inside before a packed hall. Abcs david wright is on the trail. Its a Beautiful Day in manchester reporter Hillary Clinton may be down in the polls here in New Hampshire but dont count her out yet. Well, i need your help on tuesday and convince some others to come along. Reporter today shes been out pounding the pavement knocking on doors try to make up ground against bernie sanders. I feel like a rock n roll star. Reporter sanders accused her of being wall streets favorite democrat. Not progressive enough. I have spent my entire adult life trying to knock down barriers. Reporter today Madeleine Albright joined her appealing to women in particular. Just remember, theres a special place in hell for women who dont help each other. [ cheers and applause ] reporter some of the people attending clintons own event agree with sanders. Probably for bernie sanders. Im actually bern thinks suppo supporter. Reporter youre a bernie sandersny support at a hillary event. I am. Reporter do you feel like youre behind enemy lines . Kind of. Reporter today at a town hall at New England College the first questioner made a freudian slip. Secretary sanders reporter calling her by her opponents name. Clinton took it in stride. There are a lot of young people supporting my opponent and i want you to know even if you dont support me i support you. Reporter the sanders surge here is clearly a nuisance for clinton but itll be interesting to see tonight on that debate stage how seriously the republicans take him. Its a pretty safe bet theyll mention her name more than his. Cecilia. I think that is safe to say. David wright, thank you. Of course, the debate you do not want to miss just moments away. David muir and Martha Raddatz moderating at 8 p. M. Eastern right here. But we do now move on to other news to that deadly crane accident in new york. The move that went out of control and the cranes sudden collapse caught on camera. The cab of that crane landing upside down. Its arm smashing on to cars below, one man killed. Three others injured. Abcs phillip mena with the latest on this investigation tonight. Reporter tonight a massive job. Moving this collapsed crane all 565 feet of it. Crews forced to use blowtorches to tear it apart after it came crashing down friday morning in new york city killing one and injuring three. Crushing cars and sending this counterweight into a building. You can see all that debris still on the road there. Some of it came from the top of that damaged building where part of the crane still lies. Its the unanswered question tonight, what triggered the collapse . Holy reporter officials looking closely at the wind and snow conditions. How long before we can figure out what happened . You know, i think youll have to give us a couple weeks at least to do some engineering calculation, go through the metal and how it failed. Reporter Officials Say the operator tested negative for drugs and alcohol and has been cooperating with the investigation. This crane is so big that workers are having to cut it into 35 pieces just to clear it from the street. Cecilia. Phillip, thank you. We turn to a health alert. The cdc apologizing tonight after a controversial recommendation to women. It says women should refrain from Drinking Alcohol saying the risk to babies is too high. The reaction fierce, many women saying that advice goes way too far. Heres abcs gloria riviera. Reporter women across the country sounding off over the cdcs new guidelines on alcohol and pregnancy. It just makes no sense to me. Reporter are you serious . Is this really what you feel comfortable telling your wife, your sister, your daughter . Reporter while many support the cdcs longstanding warning about the dangers of drinking while pregnant, the new guidelines hit a nerve because they go further telling Health Professionals to advise a woman to stop drinking if she is trying to get pregnant or not using Birth Control with sex. Outrage exploding on social media. Calling the advice patronizing, reactionary and sexist. The women we spoke to telling us they can be trusted to make smart, safe choices. I really do feel theyre overstepping their boundary in terms of what a woman can do with their own body. Reporter this is perhaps the right intention with a very wrong execution. Reporter the cdc points out half of all pregnancies in the u. S. Are unplanned. Many women dont know they are pregnant for several weeks, possibly unintentionally putting their child at risk. Today the cdc telling abc news we were sorry some people took offense at our communications. The cdc is standing by its advice which it says was only intend to clearly explain the risks drinking may have on an unborn child. Cecilia. Okay, gloria, thank you. And the debate stage set to take place right here inside this hall. Isnt the only showdown. The super bowl less than 24 hours away. More than 100 Million People will be watching and the stage is set in San Francisco and abcs ryan smith has the big ticket. Reporter super bowl frenzy in full effect [ cheers ] just 24 hours before super bowl 50, and fans are fired up. A clash of footballs titans. Alltime great Peyton Manning and the dazzling, dynamic cam newton. You dont go 171 as a starting quarterback without being awesome. Reporter Peyton Manning will always be an alltime great. Reporter and to set t bhe br even higher, bruno mars today confirming he will be part of the highly anticipated super bowl halftime show, joining coldplay and beyonce. Security, not taking a backseat. Were standing here in one of the Security Operation Centers for the super bowl. There are multiple ones so they can back each other up and what are they looking for . Theyre looking on the street, the stadium itself, even the airspace to make sure that super bowl sunday is a safe one. Safety is paramount. For players and fans alike hoping the 50th super bowl is one for the ages. So who will win the super bowl here at levis stadium . Las vegas oddsmakers have the Carolina Panthers as 5 1 2point favorites and while most people we spoke to here have the broncos as the sentimental choice theyre picking the panthers to win it all. Cecilia. Its going to be a good game, ryan. Thank you. Still ahead on this special edition of world news tonight, the threatening phone calls to watch out for.

This chicago area woman got a call like that in december from someone claiming to be from the irs, demanding she pay thousands of dollars in back taxes. And if we dont, theres a warrant out for our arrest. Reporter scared, she wired 10,000 to an account in seattle. It was all a scam. The irs says since october 2013, 5,000 victims, losing more than 26 million to people pretending to be irs officials. So, how do you protect yourself . For years the government has had this simple message. They often use a fake telephone number with a u. S. Area code. They demand immediate payment. They may even threaten Police Arrest or deportation. Reporter starting next month, a new law requires the irs to hire collection agencies to help collect taxes, and those agencies may call taxpayers. In the future, when collectors are actually calling on behalf of the irs, people will be more likely to fall for that scam. Reporter paying taxes they dont owe. Ron claiborne, abc news, new york.
