Also we will revisit the top stories for the year that was with a look at how we covered them here. An interesting look back. Lets get the story of the moment. Chanel jones is in this morning. Good morning and happy new year. Officialslsre still trying to figure out what caused a massive fire that engulfed a Highrise Hotel on new years eve. Its blocks away from the worlds tallest building where they held a new years eve fire celebration despite smoke from the fire. The 36 story hotel and Apartment Building caught fire a couple of hours before the midnight fireworks show. According to officials 14 people were injured in the fire. The new Years Eve Party went on in germany after a threat. They received information about a concrete threat of an isis susz side attack. Still thousands of people flooded the city streets at year. Back home an alleged isis supporter is arrested and accused of planning an armed attack in upstate new york on new years eve. He went to a walmart on tuesday to byy supplies for the operation. They bought ski knives, duct tape and ammonia. Some communities are bracing for the peak of flooding that already damaged homes and businesses. Miguel is in st. Louis. Good morning. The Mississippi River has been cresting overnight. It is still slowly rising in this area. Theres good news and bad news here. Lets start with the good news. Theres not been catastrophic damage and most of the heavies in this area are holding however well. About 150 homes in this area have been damaged. Nine levies have topped over. Destruction here. Death toll is at about 20 with four more people still missing. It will be another day when people are on edge up and down the mississippi here as this river crests. The big question will be will the river banks and levies hold in the days ahead. Back to you. 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 match up against michigan state. Jay coker threw a pair of touchdowns for the crimson tide in the 380 win and in the orange bowl it was top ranked clemson with a big victory over oklahoma. The tigers scored three touchdowns in the second half and went on to win 3717. 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 Florida Panhandle to the carolina coast. Around the great lakes expect breezy and cold conditions with lake effect snow. We should also say some areas in Northern New York could see one to two feet of snow. 4 inches of 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 thehite 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 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 forcesrying to stop him. If he is at all short a party will do whatever it takes 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. 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 presididt 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 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 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 everyone now sort of accepts that isis is a universal threat. You have iran saying thth. 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 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 progrgrs m me 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. Can we say the end of 2015 got swallowed up in politics and the economy took a backseat so bebere 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. 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 shoppepe 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 gas prices stay low we could see job losses in texas and 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, these 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 walk around with these i dont want to use brand names but these wearables. These pieces of technology on your wrist. To they have a big future . Seems so. 2015 the year that they went mainstream. So fitbit that company is growing gang busters. They went public and 2015 was the year that applele finally came out with the watch. Its had mixed reviews but its 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.

I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. 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. 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. After trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. Love at first taste. I would liquefy it and bathe in it.

Louis that times the speed of niagara falls. There is no major destruction in this area here today but across this region theyre assessing much of the damage here. 150 homes in this area have been damaged or destroyed. 20 lives have been lost and theyre certainly concerned about the heavies. Nine heavies have topped over over the last couple of days. Another 12 are in jeopardy so the National Guard and coast guard will be out on the waterways monitoring river banks and making sure that the levies still hold up.

Pays tribute to Foreign Service members at every game. At Broadway High school in the valley, football is more than a game. This is not to get kids ready for football on a friday night. We wanted to teach kid what is true sacrifice was. In 2009 coach brad lutz began the tradition of honoring a different fallen soldier at every game with the last week of the season reserved for one particular hometown hero. Army specialist brian buckey anderson. An all District Football player for broadway in 2003 was killed in afghanistan in 2010. Coach wants to make sure that he was in the same locker room that they dress in. The team wears special uniforms and one senior is chosen to wear buckeys old number. When they say play like bucky, better play like bucky, number five, tonight, play like bucky. We will never ever repay him for what he gave to this country. But were sure as heck going to try tonight by how hard we play. Were going to make him as proud as he made us. Same time. He played with everything he had and gave everything he had. It inspires me to do my best and work my hardest. We cried because it did bring back memories but it was good. Those boys were out there playing for my son. There was a play down there. Number 21. We want our kids to be great students. We want them to be Great Community leaders. We want them to be great people. Thank you so much. Bucky would have been proud. He was looking down on you all. You just made my night. Thank you soo much. Coach does something so wonderful to bring the Community Together with us. So bucky isnt forgotten. And i just want somebody to stop and say hey, thank you, coach. They both deserve a proper thank you. Delivered by a legend who happens to be margarets favorite player. I tried to get tickets for that game. If they play greenbay again. Im going to get tickets. But you got to see him play a couple of times. Oh my gosh, yeah. Brett favre was the quarterback then. Watched the redskins play the Green Bay Packers and they let me get down there close to brett favre. You got to be kidding me . Oh my god. Oh my god. I was just in the neighborhood. Ohoh wow. You must be margaret. And i know who you are. Oh my god. Oh my god. How are you doing . Oh my god. You have a chance to go to super bowl l and youre going to be on the today show.

So let us tell you that all five of the finalists will be on the plaza next week to find out who is headed for the trip of a lifetime to the super bowl. Glad we dont have to do their voting. Theyre all awesome. Traditional dishes that might be good luck in 2016. Nbc. Were back with a special holiday addition of todays food and this morning creative new year dishes that can bring you good luck into the new year. Look who were saying happy new year too. Gail, nice to have you here. Happy new year. I have been grazing on this food for the last 20 minutes. You have until monday an then you have to apparently make a serious resolution. Good food with good luck attached to it. Black eyed pea soup with sausage. Very traditional. Good luck new years food. Especially in the south. This is a tradition in a started even before the civil war. Black eyes peas expand so much with volume that theyre to represent coins and wealth and not too complicated. Great vegetable, cilantro. Spicy or mild Italian Sausage and our black eyed peas. Ill prick it with a fork. This makes sure that youre not cooking it and then ill brown it in a chevy dutch oven just like this. Theres all the good flavor from the fat youll get. Take it out and slice it up. You like big chunks. Ill like big pieces. Into the pan. Go ahead. Thats right. Garlic green peppers. Onions. Jalapeno and onions. Youll saute that until its translucent and starting to cook. Youll add all the ingredients. Chicken broth. Very well done, sir. The great things about using black eyed peas in a stew you dont have to preoak them the night before. I think dry in this recipe will make us do it harder and of course conditioned and tomatoes. How long does that take to cook it down . About an hour and a half. And you want the peas to cook through. Well go over here. This is the finished stew. Ill add back the sausage and fresh cilantro. Savannahs turn. Now were making ribs. Wheres the good luck in that. Pork is traditionally in a lot of cultures good luck on the new year. Apparently pigs root down into the ground before they push forward so its supposed to be about prosperity and pushing forward into the new year. Thats one of the legends. And we love ribs. We love to eat ribs. Spicy ribs. Ill start with a little rib rub. Smoked pap ririka, and also the caraway seeds. Thats great. It all goes in together. Pretty, right . And then ill post it for a minute and make a beautiful rub that ill take two tablespoons of and put into a pan that ill cook down with preserves and dijon mustard. These ribs are insane. I cannot stop eating them. These are incredible. And im going to take my pork rubs that you can see right here and ill take the rest of the rub after i put two stable spoons in and ill put them in 300 degrees about an hour and a half. That seems too easy. Youre going to pour any juices that accumulated into the pan and add the flavor and the fat and base this right on to the ribs that we already rubbed down and that reinforces it. And mustard it gives it the sweet and sour flavor and the great taste. After you baste them. These go back in the oven on each side. Baste it and cook for half an hour each and get that going and youre done. We have the brussels and these cookies. Tell us about that. Steamed bronchusel sprouts and great salad. The thing about new years is great. In spain theres an age old tradition of eating one grape for every hour that the clock strikes at midnight. If you dont eat a great per strike of the clock you might have not Great Fortune in your future. Very important at midnight to eat 12 grapes. The version that eats one rib. Im with you. I knew i liked you for a reason. And then finally for dessert gold coins. Crowned ginger and crystallized ginger in the cookie and they represent coins. Its about the good fortune, the beautiful golden color and circle of acoin. I cant get past the ribs. Were eating ribs like its our job. Im stealing one. Oh well. We have until monday apparently, right . Then you have done a good job. Gail, thank you very much. Happy new year. There goes that resolution.

So its our turn to fess up. Were going to play a game here two truths and a lie. Who wants to start . So two of these are true. One of them is false. Okay. Number one, in college i won a 42,000 jackpot playing slots in Atlantic City in new jersey. Number two, my wedding ceremony was conducted primarily in spanish and im still not sure if im married. And number three, as a kid in the 1980s i occasionally wore Michael Jacksons one rhinestone glove to school. Im going to say the jackpot. Im saying the rhinestone glove. Jackpots the lie. I think we would have heard about that. I did wear the glove. And you definitely are married to christina. Well. But there was spanish i remember that story. It was conducted for about 90 minutes in spanish. I dont know what happened that day. And the great thing is this was in queens. Do you still have the glove . I dont have that glove. You have a glove. I keep a glove around just in case. Do you know the moves, still. Can you do like a little no, id rather not. He did it last night but not tonight. Number one i got a penny stuck in my ankle after racing on a bike with change in my hand. Imbedded in your ankle. Imbedded in my ankle. I once had blonde hair. I love painting and i created a series that i want to share one day. Thats the lie. Yeah. Sorry. Because if you had been painting we would have seen it. We would have heard all about it. We would have heard all about it. It would be in a gallery. Shed be showing us pictures. Well, okay. Is that right . Yes. Thats a lie. All right. Natalie. Thats howell we know you. It says something good. You all know im not creative. I figured you probably got like you could make change of a dollar with chawhat stuck in your ankle. Here we go. So mine are i used to hate phis ed as a kid so much so that i had my mom talk to the pe me out of p. E. I did modeling and appeared in a few commercials as a kid and i came in second place in the National Spelling beacon test. The national. Phis ed is a lie. Number three is a lie. Spelling bee is a lie. Youre correct. You had a little tell. You had a little smile. No. You mean i cant play poker . No spelling bee. At one point i studied for a religious order. Es you did. Three i lived in all five borough boroughs of the city of new york. Al hasnt lived in staten island. No. Number three. Its amazing. Two great bridges. So you were in a religious order. No, in high school i was actually part of the future brothers of america. Not as in brothers but as in monks. You were going to be a monk. Yeah. I was thinking about it. I really was. What age . I was in high school so i was like xavier high school. And then i discovered girls and i said nah. Worked out well for you al. We learned so much. Tamron im still waiting to see the Art Collection when you get around to it. I had blonde hair i thought for a and thats your latest weather. However tamron will come over and do your kitchen, two coats of paint. Can i just show you where i got the penny stuck in my ankle. The penny got lodged in my ankle. Heads up or tails . Lets flip her and see. Thats what i heard last night. Oh happy new year everybody. Still ahead with the new year look jane didnt like restrictions. Not in life.

All for 80 calories. No settling here. What else does jane love . That you could win a fitbit flex from light fit. Learn more on specially marked packs. Light fit. Feel free to enjoy. I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital 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. Our clothes can stretch out in the wash, ruining them forever. Protect your clothes from stretching, fading, and fuzz.
