Breaking news, terror raids outside london as the war against isis enters a new phase with the u. S. Pledging to put more special forces on the ground inside iraq and syria. Abcs chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran is in london with the latest. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. Way. Four men arrested. Seven addresses searched as europeans brace for more attacks after paris and now know the u. S. Boots on the Ground Fighting isis on the battlefields of iraq and syria. Intensifying the pressure on isis, backing up the air strikes that have pounded their positions for months, defense secretary carter announcing a new deployment of u. S. Special forces to the region. Were at war. Were using the might have the has ever known. Reporter the pentagon says 100 to 150 special forces troops will be based in iraq and conduct Ground Combat raids against isis in both iraq and syria. Their mission, gather intelligence, free isis hostages, kill or capture isis leaders. Its all part of the effort to carry the fight to isis. Carter was grilled about how successful the american effort really is. Are we winging, mr. Secretary . We will win. Are we winning now . Were going to win. Reporter but victory is still a long way off. Secretary of state kerry today pleaded with nato allies to step up their efforts in the fight against isis and here in london, while those terror raids are still under way parliament will vote in afternoon on whether britain should join the Bombing Campaign against isis in syria after months of sitting on the sidelines but paris, it seems, has changed everything and the house of commons will likely vote to have britain join the fight today. George and robin. Terry moran, thanks very much. See what that vote says. For president now and more good news for donald trump as his opponents step up their attacks, a new poll out this morning shows that republican frontrunner solidifying his lead with marco rubio, ben carson and ted cruz now neck and neck for second place. Abcs tom llamas has the latest. Good morning. This is not good news for dr. Ben carson. Hes down seven points in about a month. Why the droppy those polls feel he doesnt have the right experience or leadership qualities. As for trump, slightly higher than he was last time around when this poll was conducted and headed in the right direction. This morning, a new National Poll shows donald trump not only on top but growing. They say that i have the most loyal people. You know, others, if you sneeze they drop you. Me, i can sneeze, i can say things that i think are right. Reporter overnight those fueling the frontrunners claims that muslims celebrated on 9 11 in new jersey. Tweeting this video from a local new york city station after the attack reporting on rumors of that celebration. Were celebrating the destruction that they saw from the roof. Reporter despite the claims the video does not show any must lips celebrating on rooftops attributed to sources peppered with inaccurate information. Trumps allegations fueling friction with new jersey governor chris christie. Christie, who received key endorsements in New Hampshire willing to take on trump over his words. If donald starts yelling and screaming in the middle of a speech youll be sure ill say, sit down and shut up. Reporter candidates like christie and also senator ted cruz hoping to win over voters that like a toughtalking candidate like trump. Cruz detecting most criminals to a Political Party on tuesday. Now, listen, heres the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are democrats. Reporter but we couldnt find any research or statistic the Cruz Campaign telling abc news, the senator based his statement on a study conducted in only three states that showed a majority of exfelons in those states registered as democrats. When elected democrats push to give felons the right to vote, it is a perfectly rationale and reasonable inference to say those democrats understand that the overwhelming majority of violent criminals vote democratic. Reporter now, back to trump, a moment of reflection, a rare moment of reflection from the billionaire last night. He talked about not serving in vietnam because of several reasons including draft number and as well as problems with his foot but last night he said he felt guilty about not serving. George. A different tone from trump last night. Joined by new jersey governor chris christie. We saw ted cruz, the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are democrats. Youre a former prosecutor. What did you think of that. I never noticed that in my the end some of this stuff that gets said. Americans are worried about their homeland. After paris nothing else is important. Youve been talking about that a lot but coming in for some criticism by one of your predecessors, former governor thomas kaine and the rhettic he says is helping isis. I think hes wrong with all due respect to the governor. My point is this, why doesnt director. He said we cant vet these people and not vet them nearly at the speed the president wants to bring them in. My point is simple, they cant be vetted, the security and safety of the American People have to be placed first and its no more, its he says it cant be 100 . Even women and children. We have seen women and Children Play roles in terrorist attacks before. You and i both know this. All play to the u. N. Crowd and say we want to get applause from those folks around the world. Im worried about the homeland here and the American People are worried about their safety and security and we have to just make sure folks are vetted. That is not that is not an unreasonable request. You and donald trump have been going at it a little bit more but a great story in the new york times, comprehensive story that talks about some concern in the republican ranks about donald trump as the potential nominee and quote a prominent republican north saying if donald trump is the out. Is that true . I dont know but hes not i am. Im not worried about that. Im not going to speculate about anybody else the nominee because im in this thing to win. Were gaining momentum in New Hampshire. And were talking about the issues that people care about and we have been talking about those issues for months and thats why theyre beginning to resonate. You did a big endorsement over the weekend that spurred headlines for you. Youre still stuck in seventh dont you have to win there to have a chance . I dont know if i have to win there but i have to do well and i think well figure that out once we get to january, see just how well you have to do. But as you know, there have been folks that have gone second place there and declared victory as second place. Second place a victory for you in New Hampshire to donald trump. It depends. Well see. We dont know that donald trump will win New Hampshire either. We dont know who will win. New hampshire voters notoriously make their digs late. In the last election nearly 70 made their decision in the last two weeks so well be focused on continuing to work real hard up there. Get our message out, do our town Hall Meetings and win vote, bumps at a time. Youve also suggested voters dont want an amateur hour. Dont want to reelect senators like ted cruz and marco rubio but so far they seem to be rejecting the idea that experience is what matters in this election. Thats only according to polls at the moment. People havent voted yet and i think the seriousness of whats the world tell people new is nice, its wonderful, its shiny and exciting but we had new for the last seven years and i dont think people are all that excited about that now. You need experience. People want someone there thats made these decisions. As a prosecutor and governor ive made these decisions and will be making that case in New Hampshire and around the country. Governor christie, thanks very much. Good to have the governor here in the studio with us. Now to that massive recall. An e. Coli outbreak at major chains across the country. Abcs david kerley is in washington with more on that. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This started with that recall of costco chicken salad. The problem is with the celery that was inside that salad so now this big expansion of products that need to be recalled. The celery was produced by taylor farms in california and in 150,000 different products from salad kits to diced celery and onion and vegetable trays shipped to more than a dozen states mostly in the west but a middle part of the country and this did no longer just costco, 7eleven, albertsons, starbucks carries some of these products and the food and Drug Administration is saying 19 people were sickened eating the chicken salad. This expansion to all the other products, the agency says, is out of an abundance of caution. Robin, 150,000 products, a lot. We move on to chicago now and more fallout from that Deadly Police shooting. The top cop fired as his administration faces tough questions about why the video was kept under wraps for a year of the shooting. Abcs alex perez has the latest. Reporter the man at the helm of the Chicago Police department gone. Mayor rahm emanuel bowing to public pressure firing garry mccarthy. Now is the time for fresh eyes and new leadership. Reporter mccarthy apparently blindsided by his dismissal just hours before he was fired appearing on local morning tv talking about his intentions to im not going to resign. Reporter the major shakeup coming just one week after the release of dash cam video investigators say shows Chicago Police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting Laquan Mcdonald 16 times in 15 seconds. Van dyke, who argues he fired because he feared for his life, monday. A second dash cam Video Shows Police pursuing mcdonald as he runs through a burger king parking lot moments before he was shot. Abc news has obtained these images of an officer inside the restaurant shortly after the shooting. The burger king district manager alleges officers deleted video from cameras at the restaurant but investigators say a forensic review of the system found the video was not tampered with. And this investigation is widening. The illinois attorney general asking the u. S. Department of justice to fully review the entire Chicago Police department. Robin. All right, alex, thank you. Now to a brandnew report from the secret service most likely to pursue a mass shooting, especially those targeting the federal government. Pierre thomas has this abc news exclusive. Reporter the pentagon on lockdown from an active shooter. In this never before scene video of a 2010 attack obtained emotionally by abc news, watch how a routine evening suddenly becomes anything but. John patrick walks calmly toward the entrance and pulling out a 9 millimeter handgun and starts to fire. Despite being grazed by bullets the officer return fire. Fatally wounding him. According to investigators he was paranoid, convinced the government was spying on him. We continue to see these instances happen. Reporter it is 1 of 43 attacks on u. S. Government facilities since 2001 studied by the secret service and this morning the service is calling on Law Enforcement and the public to watch for signs that could mean violence is coming. We really want to work with develop interventions. Someone can intervene and make a difference. Reporter revealing more than half the attacks on the government involve socalled lone wolves with guns. Other assail apartments have been more creative from detonating bombs to crashing a plane into an irs building. And this deadly poison ricin was sent to the department of transportation. Half the attackers showed signs of henceal illness but warning signs can come in many forms from radical change in appearance to one suddenly becoming withdrawn. The key is getting troubled people help before their lives unravel. Now to amy with the mornings other top stories. Good morning, everyone.

Theres no point in really belaboring it or dragging it out or saying, well, leave the door open in case i dont know something may change. I dont think this is something, a decision you can allow have to outside influences to dictate whether or not you continue to play. It must come from you. So once i knew this was it, might as well say it. How did you know this was it . Minutes of still time and just kind of sit in my thoughts in the morning and meditate. Normally what happens with me my mind would always drift to the game, always. And then i found myself sitting there my mind wouldnt drift to the game all the time anymore and thats when i realized its getting close. Not just 20 years but 20 years with the same team, the l. A. Lakers. How important is that to you . Extremely. It means everything to me. I was such a huge laker fan growing up. A diehard laker fan, magic posters, magic tshirts and was my dream and to be here for 20 years and get to know some of my mentors its been a dream come true. The fans, the letter that you wrote, you wanted to speak to your fans first. Why . Well, because i think it was important for them to know how much they meant to me. The letter still doesnt do it justice and how important theyve been. Career and i mean we grew up together and thats such a beautiful thing. Was it a slow process to get here or was it just one of those light switch went off and you said no. Its a whole process and something that evolved over the last three years with the achilles injury that really frightened me because my career could be over now. It scared me. What am i going to do next, trained hard and came back the next season and fractured my knee and trained harder and tore my shoulder and then it was juice like, oh this is one thing after the next so it was kind of a slow sheyear process of kind of evolving to get where i am. The 17time allstar calls himself his biggest critic and admits this season is far from his best. Do you feel youre being treatly fairly this season being your last and all that you have done for the sport . Yeah, i mean i wouldnt have it any other way. You cant just sit around and expect everyone to give praise all the time. You got to be able to take the good with the bad. One of the most important things generation is to accept it all. Dont have any expectations or lean on or rely on positive reporting on your career or negative. Have you accomplished everything that youve wanted to on the court . No. No. I wanted eight championships as a dreamy kid growing up, i wanted eight. Why eight . Because magic had five and michael had six and, okay, ill win eight and had an opportunity to have seven and didnt work out. You have talked about wanting to have your place in the history of this game. Top five players of all time. Who would those five players be and would you crack the starting five. No, i would never put myself in the starting five ever. I put the people that i learned the most from being jordan, magic, bird, Hakeem Olajuwon and jerry rice. When you see that hashtag go by your name. Its fantastic to be mentioned in the same breath as those players honestly to me, well sit and debate endlessly who would win on a oneonone matchup between me and m. J. Who would win. He would win some and i will win some. That will go on forever. Reporter although he said his goodbyes, i had to ask. Are you really ready to let her go . I am. I am. I am but im carrying this with me no matter what. Internal internalally my love, my passion everything i learned from it will be with me. Hes at peace. His thinking is so clear on he talks about the fact that he grew up for a time in italy. His dad played pro ball. He speaks fluent italian. He has other interests and tomorrow well get into what is his next. Its hard. Can you imagine if youre told something that you love, that youve thought about since you were y ea high and told you cant what he is and we will discuss that and, of course, i had to ask him Michael Jordan or yeah. He could be a politician. No correct answer. But he really appreciates hes getting dumped on a lot by the press. Hes having a horrible season. The word that he used, crap, thats how he describes how hes playing right now. They played in philadelphias hometown, the sixers won it won their first game of the season. Kobe had 20 but you could just tell that hes ready to move on. At peace is the perfect way to say it. Youre going to see what happens when we play a little Word Association game with kobe bryant.

The latest issue of porter available globally on friday. Over the counter and Prescription Medications. Are they always the best alternative . Becky worley takes a look. Reporter insomnia, tossing, turning, desperate to get a little shuteye. Im not getting restful sleep and havent for many years and on the average its 4 to 4 1 2 hours a night. Reporter brenda suffered with it for 25 years and tried Prescription Medication but rarely takes it for fear of becoming addicted. Ive tried almost everything im aware of to try. I have changed my bedding, i have blackout shades, ive changed my eating habits. Reporter but lots of americans do take Prescription Medication. In 2013, 9 million americans had prescriptions for sedatives. Recently though some studies suggest sleeping pills may increase the risk of psychiatric issues and even cancer for some people. Though a definitive cause and effect link has not been established. I think sleep aids should be used for an acute need but theyre not the best use for longterm care of your insomnia. Reporter so this past fall brenda underwent a sleep test at the results she had 32 brief awakenings every hour so now shes trying something alternative. A behavioral modification program. I really need to limit my computer work because of the blue light they were sharing with me eating earlier, no alcohol. Reporter its also recommended for sleep restriction. Sleepy. No tv, no devices. If after 30 minutes you cant sleep, get up and go somewhere else. Cognitive behavioral therapy allows the patient to approach the bed and restructure their thought process so that the bed is for sleeping and its not a stressful experience. Reporter employing new tracking her sleep. The first night netted six hours and a month into the program shes averaging five hours, an improvement she says. Anything could help me im willing to do because im goal of. Reporter for Good Morning America, becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. We heard a little about the consequences of Prescription Medications. Right. What more do we know. Not a lot. Thats the problem. Hardly anything in the medical literature past 12 months of use. How the big classes of sleep aids work. Basically the valium or xanax class, the ambien class of medication both work similarly in the brain, sedating. The problem is associated risks of longterm use, what is in the literature, not great. You can see issues with brain, memory function, heart, in terms of high bleep. G. I. System, nausea, vomiting, ab dom nall pain, weight gain, menstrual irregularities, you have to balance those risks against the risks of being sleep deprived. Its not the kind of thing you want to be doing every night. I agree. What about over the counter. Two main classes, you have the sedating antihistamines like benadryl, and then the sleep hormone melatonin. Antihistamines, they will increase the time you spend asleep but they make that sleep less good quality and the next day you will be more sleep deprived. Melatonin good for Something Like jet lag but its a hormone not regulated by the fda. Not regulated at all. Only if they find a problem after its on the shelf. What other tips do you have. The onus of responsibility has to be on the medical community of we cannot write a prescription for a sleep aid and send someone on their way for life and take it forever. If you need to cut or taper down some cannot be stopped abruptly. You can cut it in half, alternate one day on, one day off, i recommend trying it on a weekend because you dont want to be sleep deprived when you go to work. Makes a lot of sense, jen ashton, thanks very much. Over to amy. Here. Now to something many of us struggle with this time of year. Someone special. A story trending big in the wall street journal shows how science can truly help us all. Abcs nick watt explains. I love my wife but she sucks at giving gifts. Reporter many of us are garbage at gift giving. We are claire on modern family. I got nothing. Im so screwed. Reporter you dont have to be that person. Seasonal science is here to help. Psychologists and retail researchers actually spend time on this. Number one, give something of yourself. A book you love. A 2k3wi69 card to a restaurant you love. That is love. Meaning. Theyll think well of you. Number two, less is more. Dont throw a little gift in with a big one. Subconsciously the receiver will value late the average cost and be underwhelmed. Number three, just give. Youll enjoy it and experiments toddlers show greater pleasure in giving than receiving. Tips, kayla moncurs husband. What did he get me . Its a paper shredder. Reporter oh, dear. He also got me a wind up flashlight. Entire stockingull of hand warmers then there was this ridiculous hat that we live in mesa, arizona, like the need for this kind of hat is just really limited. Ah. Nick, thank you for that of were joined by kayla and aaron moncur from their home in warm, mesa, arizona. Here with us is Lori Bergamotto from Good Housekeeping magazine. Thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. Lori, i want to start off with aaron and kayla, i understand, aaron, sorry, a lot of hate heaped on you there. You have kept one of the least successful gifts, lets call it that. What was the least successful gift . Yes, i understand you kept it . Well, that depends who you ask. I guess kayla thinks so. Why did you choose the hat . You had a reason behind it there. Im going to defend you there. There was a reason. Shes always cold and shes into fashion and you look at this hat and its just its beautiful. How could someone not like that. Extreme fashion. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, perhaps. Lori, what about the studies . Do you think they can help us be better gift givers . I love the idea they studied the gift giving aspect from a scientific aspect and anything that helps you give better gifts i am in favor of. Why is it so difficult. When you love someone and trying to give a gift the stakes are so high. You really want to show them i love you. Heres the reflection of how much i love you. But i think what matters more to someone is not spending 500 on five minutes thinking about what to get. That rule youre not supposed to add the kicker gift to the big gift. Totally shocked me too. From a personal perspective i dont agree with that so much but i think that all that matters is that the person feels like theyre getting an intangible memory of from this tangible gift. All right, so not to set up aaron here because now weve just told everyone how to fine the perfect gift. How did you doey. I understand you have a Christmas Gift that youre going now. Thats right. Are we ready right now. Go for it. Good luck. Here, bring it out. Crossing her fingers. Open quickly. Lets do a closeup. Oh. Its like lots of like body stuff. And it smells nice. Oo. Ochlt o oo. Why did you pick that . What was your thinking . Well, shes been burning candles in the house lately and weve been running out and i know she likes them so we walk past a Bath Body Works and i thought lets just get her a big gift basket of all things scenty and nice. I think thats thoughtful. Yay. Good job, aaron. Nice effort. Yeah. And it is different how you buy for men and women. It really is and your wife. It is and the thing is dont start looking just the week before the holiday, you know, you want to not look for a date the week before valentines day. Presents are nice. Being present is even better. Momma always knows best. There you go. Want to thank our couple for putting that out there. Theyre so cute. Theyre adorable. Thank you. Merry christmas. Now outside to ginger.

The way i think about it if i had a little sister i would be so pleased for her to see the film and think i mean, we were just talking about jennifer lawrence, the Katniss Everdeen thing has been so progressive for the female audience. Way cooler. Nice to continue that thing. Is it true you all didnt even have the scripts that they were secretive about the scripts in the beginning. Yeah, it was sort of messed up.

Guys are so important too so this morning were talking to the guy who wrote the book on mens grooming. Chris salgardo, president of kiehls, one of my favorite brands. Thank you. Here to chat about manmade. I love the title of the book. Did you feel left out . Well, actually a little bit but whats great now is that men really have permission to take care of their skin. And as i traveled all around the country, meeting men at kiehls events and being at the gym i noticed everybody was asking me questions about skin care tips and grooming needs. I thought now is the perfect time to come out with a resource like in that every man can benefit from. Not just about being vain but taking care of yourself. We are living longer so why not take care of the skin youre in. You say there are five types of guys. Archetypes. This is somebody that is very refined, very meticulous about his skin. The second, the handson guy that loves to pull it apart and put it back together but isnt always thinking about his face. Are you giving tips for each of these guys. Every single one. Different rules for different types of guys is there it depends about your environment, what you do for a living. The extreme dude shooting down a mountain or up the west side highway on his motorcycle and you have to think about your skin and the rebel artist who has big ideas but has to take care of his face or renaissance man that needs to put his best face forward. We have some stuff. Your must have kit. Definitely. In. Every kit should have a couple things, a body fuel because this is a three in one wash, shave with it, wash your hair, your body and good to go. And is that a great tip for guys, keep it simple. Women have a lot of products. Yes. Thats not that doesnt seem the kiehls bag. Absolutely, you want to have products that perform well and thats why i like a facial one. You can put it on day or night and keep it looking its best. Spf . Spf is 15. You can go as high as 50 depending on your choice. Multitier cleanser and moisturizer and anything else. Yeah, you should always have blotting paper, i say, because men, we have sweatier skin so blot that away quickly. If we dont have that well get to that coming up. We do. You have an unusual tip. Theres a lot of times about to go to a meeting and your skews are scuffed. Bananas, potassium which is found in shoe polish is in bananas, enjoy your banana first and rub it over your shoe and voila. Look at the difference. You will look sleek and dogs will love you. Exactly. There you go. You also if you dont have blotters which most women do. If youre a dude, just use these. Youre about to go on that date, grab a tissue, blot it over your face and good to go. Its not a wipe, its a dab. Guys, you need to know put a little pressure. Dab it on. Doesnt mean you have to wear powder. It does actually make takes it right down. A smoother face and fonzie our stage manager was nice enough to volunteer for your final tip because guys dont often have a lot of the grooming tools but sometimes the eyebrows can get a little unruly and, lip balm.
