At one of the countrys biggest malls on new yorks long island. There, too, scenes of panic when a wouldbe robber allegedly fired a gun in a struggle with a store security guard. In north carolina, at least four people gone to the hospital and yet another community on edge. Ron claiborne, abc news, new york. The federal government is making plans for mass deportations that could start as early as next month. The targets would be thousands of Central Americans who have come here fleeing Gang Violence in honduras and el salvador. Their requests for asylum in the u. S. Were denied, but they havent left. I think what theyre trying to do is send a message to Central America saying dont come and in order to do that, i think they believe if there are images of families being off loaded on planes in Central America, that its going to deter people from coming. The plan has to be approved by the white house and opposition is fierce from both left and right and even within Homeland Security itself. Capture, the americans taken hostage in 1979 are set to receive millions of dollars in compensation. Thats after a provision in the spending deal signed last week. Each of the 53 hostages and their estates are set to receive up to 4. 4 million. Spouses and children eligible for a 600,000 payment, the hostages spent 444 days in captivity. We got a somber message from the pope during his Christmas Eve mass. Pope francis condemned what he called societys intoxication with consumerism, pleasure, abundance and wealth.

Why did a taxpayer dump seven chickens and take off . Into and. And no immediate holiday truce between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. The war of words on social media takes a new tone. Youre watching world news now. Youre watching world news now. I took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. He has that dry scratchy thing going on. Guess what . It works on his cough too. Cough guess what . It works on his cough too. What . Stop dont pull me spoiler alert she doesnt make it only mucinex dm relieves bothwet and dry coughs for 12 hours with two medicines in one pill.

Not in the Christmas Spirit at all. With the latest polls showing Hillary Clinton and donald trump running in a dead heat, Donald Trumps campaign is turning up the heat and its not just Hillary Clinton herself who he is targeting. Heres abcs jim avila. Reporter no Christmas Eve quiet on Donald Trumps twitter feed. Retweeting this why is hillary even allowed to run . Shes a criminal. His Campaign Spokeswoman even summoning the ghost of her husbands scandals. Hillary clinton has some nerve to talk about the war on women and the bigotry towards women when she has a serious problem in her husband. Reporter Trumps Campaign upping the rhetoric after he described clintons loss to president obama by using offcolor slang of the male anatomy. She was favored to win and reporter trump insists his use of the term was neither vulgar nor misogynistic. To me, thats really a reference to getting beaten and really pretty decisively. And when i said it, nobody in the audience thought anything about it. They clapped, they didnt view that as being a horrible thing. Reporter but Clintons Campaign calls trumps language degrading and disgusting. I really deplore the tone of his campaign and the inflammatory rhetoric. Its not the first time hes demonstrated a penchant for sexism. Reporter and that brought this veiled threat from trump, hillary, when you complain about a penchant for sexism, who are you referring to . I have Great Respect for women. Be careful. Hours later, his spokeswoman dropping this bomb. I can think of quite a few women that have been bullied by Hillary Clinton to hide her husbands misogynist sexist reporter no comment from the clinton campaign, but tonight, trump and his family go to church near his palm beach home, so, perhaps there will be a momentary truce.

Topping our look at the skinny on this christmas morning, a very Merry Christmas to Robert Downey junior.

One of them fellows is not what he says he is. Thats what he is. One of them, maybe even two of them is here to see she goes free. Hateful eight is getting a solid 75 rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the critics seem to love it. Mike scott writes its 100 tarantino pleasure entertainment and andy crump calls it a towering work as profound as it is profane. Next up an offering from another hollywood heavyweight with an appropriate title for christmas, joy, it stars Jennifer Lawrence, robert de niro, Bradley Cooper and david o. Russell. It tells the story of a family across four generations and the woman at the center of it all who rises to become the founder and matriarch of a powerful Family Business dynasty.
