The Federal Reserve raised a key Interest Rate for the first time in years. Wall street took that as a vote the dow rose 224 points. Heres anthony mason. Reporter the aftershocks from the financial crisis and the housing meltdown forced the fed to keep Interest Rates near zero for more than seven years, but today, janet yellen declared an end to the extraordinary era of easy money. The economic recovery has clearly come a long way, although it is not yet complete. Reporter it was back in december of 2008 that the fed slashed rates as low as they could go, the same month the economy was officially declared in recession and Bernie Madoff was arrested in a billiondollar ponzi scheme. By april of 2009, foreclosures had soared to their peak, more than 200,000 that month. And by october, unemployment was at 10 . But now monthly foreclosures are down 80 from that high, and seven years later, unemployment has been cut in half. Quarter of a point. And it reflects the committees confidence that the economy will continue to strengthen. Reporter future increases will be gradual, and the central bank made certain the markets saw this coming. This is the most telegraphed punch in the history of the world. Reporter max wolff is chief economist at manhattan. It is a bookend of a period. This was the most stimulation Monetary Policy has ever given to our economy and hopefully we will never need this much again. Reporter several major banks raised their prime rates immediately after the feds move, and the cost of mortgages, car loans and credit cards could begin to rise.

Public schools in los angeles reopened today. They closed yesterday abruptly because of an email terror hoax. 640,000 students were shut out. New york city received a similar threat but dismissed it. Today, the federal government revised its system for warning americans of terrorist threats. The department of Homeland Security issued its first bulletin today. It was a statement of what is already painfully clear. Jeff pegues has more on this. Reporter todays bulletin says want country is in a new phase in the global threat environment. Law enforcement is concerned about selfradicalized individuals who could strike with little or no notice. It also warned of threats against communities based on perceived religion, ethnicity, or nationality. The new bulletin alert was added because the other two categories, elevated and imminent, required detailed information and were never activated. Bulletins like todays can be sent without a specific threat. Homeland security secretary jeh johnson. Here in the homeland are copycatlike attacks, and those who are selfradicalized who may attacks. And regrettably, we have seen that in recent months and recent recent weeks. Reporter the massacre in San Bernardino, california, two weeks ago was one such attack. So were the july 16 shootings that killed five people at two military locations in chattanooga, tennessee. Today, for the first time, f. B. I. Director director james comey, said the shooter, Muhammad Youssef abdulazeez, was also selfradicalized. Theres no doubt that the chattanooga killer was inspired, motivated by Foreign Terrorist Organization propaganda. Weve investigated from the beginning as a terrorist case. Reporter comey said before San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik came to the u. S. , she only communicated about jihad using direct private messages and not publicly on social media. Harder for immigration officials to see signs of her radicalization. Thanks, jeff. Now, because the f. B. I. Has determined that that chattanooga shooting jeff just mentioned was terrorism, the navy said today that four marines and a sailor who was killed and a marine who was wounded will all receive purple hearts.

Reporter firstterm senators marco rubio and ted cruz spard over Congress Decision toned the governments bulk collection and storage of phone records. Rubio opposed ending the program, and cruz supported it. That tool we lost, the metadata program, was a valuable tool that we no longer have at our disposal. The old program covered 20 to 30 of phone numbers to the new Program Covers nearly 100 . That gives us greater able to stop act of terrorism and he knows that thats the case. I dont think National Television in front of 15 Million People is the place to discuss classified information. Reporter the spat signaled rising tensions between the two as they vie to challenge g. O. P. Frontrunner donald trump. Today, cruz rebutted rubios implication that he revealed classified information. What i said last night has been widely reported. Its been saturated in the public sphere. This is another example of the Rubio Campaign trying to spread misinformation. One of the most important things a president has to do is be able to handle both the role as the bully pulpit of the white house, but do so in a way that doesnt compromise our national security. Reporter after the debate, we asked trump how he would balance privacy and security. I have always come dwown on the side of security. To me its the most important. Reporter even if it means doing something to encroach on the bill of rights . I thought, i hate the concept of it, but were dealing with reporter jeb bush said trumps Foreign Policy proposals were not serious. Hes a chaos candidate. And hed be a chaos president. He would not be the commander in chief we need to keep our country safe. Reporter rubio did not accuse cruz of releasing classified information.

Isis militants use the fog as cover to launch sneak attacks. They cant see them coming until its too late to stop them. The group leader told us u. S. Warplanes cant see them, either. And while he said he was grateful for american support, he hadnt actually seen any of the u. S. Special forces now on the ground. But commander Lewland Rojava had. We met him at his base camp deep inside syria. What types of things are you discussing .

Children, the new face of war. But today, they find nothing. Major beltus kwene tells the village to be vigilant. The soldiers base is just a few miles from the border. And youve been attacked here at this base. We underwent a massive attack at this base. Reporter kwene told us since boko haram has pledged allegiance to isis their tactics have changed. Their bombs are under sophisticated and deployed with deadly frequency. When i see how horrible they can be, i think i will never, ever feel tired to fight against them.
