It was fierce of terrorist attacks that led to beefed up security around the world where crowds greeted in the new year. Measures taken at times square where more than one Million People turned up to watch the ball drop. Three, two, one, happy new year at the stroke of midnight revelers cheering in the new year and new zealand was the first to bid farewell to 2016. Sydney harbor in australia lit it up with pop singers. And dubai fireworks at the worlds tallest skyscraper are ringing in the new year with plenty of lights and color. In england Buckingham Palace announced Queen Elizabeth will not attend Church Services this new years day. The queen is still battling a heavy cold and missed the Christmas DayChurch Service because of illness. A big night in College Football. We now know who will meet for the college championship. Heres espns kirk herbstreet. The College Football playoff has gotten us to one more step. We now have the championship set up with clemson and alabama. And if you watched the games yesterday, a little bit uneventful. You looked at what washington and alabama had to offer. We all expected alabama to be able to get through that expected. They did a nice job with their defense being able to contain washington and that defense led them to an opportunity to get into the championship game. The question of the night was really ohio state and clemson. I think a lot of people wondered if ohio state would be able to score with clemson. Could their offense after having four weeks to get ready for the clemson defense be able to withstand the pressure and the answer was an emphatic no. Clemson was too much for ohio state. The offense led by Deshaun Watson, in my opinion the best player in College Football, did a very good job of wearing ohio state down. But really the story had to be the defensive coordinator from clemson and the tigers defense shutting out urban meyer for the First Time Since urban meyer has been a head coach and we get a rematch from last years championship. Alabama and clemson. Many people including myself at the preseason thought this could be the matchup for the championship. They met last year. It was an epic battle. We can only hope, ron, that we hamqve one more big time matc between Deshaun Watson and clemson. Nick saban and the alabama crimson tide on january 9th on espn. Thanks. Those final score, alabama, 247 and clemson, 310. At t at the happy 2017 to all, paula and dan. Thank you ron. Its a new year as we have said and there is a new president in just a few weeks. Donald trump will be taking the oath of office. January 20th to be act. With a brand new legislative agenda as the obamas prepare to leave the white house. Mary bruce joins us from washington, d. C. With a look at whats ahead in 2017. Good morning and happy new year. Reporter good morning. Happy new year. A new year, new president and new concerns about the new administration but before trump gets to work, this city is getting ready to inaugurate the 45th president of the united states. Dont expect this celebration to be like years past in an effort to reflect trumps Historic CampaignOfficials Say it will be a workman like inaugural, not a coronation. Kicking things off Jackie Evancho set to sing the National Anthem as donald trump is sworn in on the capitol steps. The theme of the fiveday celebration is a familiar one, make America Great again but the festivities will be notably scaled down. Trump is slated to attend just two official inaugural balls and third party to salute the armed forces. Playing a key role in the veeves the next first lady. Shes a full partner in the victory celebration for the president elect. Trump has big plans for his first 100 days. First up, overhauling obamacare. We have absolutely no choice. So were going to repeal and replace obamacare and youre going to get health care at a much lower price. Agree. Obamacare doesnt work. But first, trump needs a cabinet. His picks are headed for their Senate Confirmation hearings. Senator Jeff Sessions takes the hot seat as democrats examine his record and consider him for attorney general. As attorney general, Jeff Sessions would have dangerous new authority to attack civil rights. Sessions was previously rejected for a federal judgeship over allegations he made racist remarks. Charges hes passionately denied. These are troubling things and the only fair thing to do is ask a lot of questions, very thorough questions and then make an opinion. And get ready for fireworks when lawmakers question trumps pick for secretary of state. Former exxon mobile Ceo Rex Tillerson who has deep ties to russia. I have concerns with his relationship with vladimir putin. Who is a thug and a murderer. The obamas plan to stick around washington while sasha finishes high school. Our attitude is that if you have a teenager and you really want to make sure that they never talk to you again then pull them out of high school right in the middle of sophomore years. Youre right. After leaving the white house president obama says his top priority is a nice long nap. Followed by a relaxing vacation after eight years here in washington, hes looking forward to much needed r r. Dan. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Now is the time of year when people think about their health. Lots of us get ready to make it a top priority. Joining us with her own medical forecast, the things shes looking for in 2017, abc news chief Womens Health correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton. Good morning. Happy new year. Whats the Number One Health trend youre looking at Going Forward . I think it has to be Womens Health, dan. I think in 2017 we really need what we actually think that is composed of. Were not talking reproductive health. Were talking breast cancer, gyn cancers, pregnancy care, menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome. We need to make this a mission as a country. Whether youre a woman or not. You care about Womens Health. The fact of the matter is our world ranking in Maternal Child Health is abysmal. We can do better. We need to do better and i think that has to start with not just more access but better delivery and Better Health literacy. We need to know a lot more about w our bodies work. Now, there are other things youre looking at as we head into the new year. One has to do with aging. Right. Now, i think you said it perfectly. Its aging, not antiaging and i would say its really longevity. There is no accredited specialty of antiaging medicine. People need to proceed with caution when they see a doctor but the fda is starting its first ever trial on longevity looking at a drug called metformin has been out for decades and theres Promising Research about its affects of anticancer and Animal Studies by 20 . Thats the drug to keep your eye on. Were not saying dont live a Healthy Lifestyle but that medication is going to get a lot of attention. The final area you want to discuss was stress and mental health. Its all about the brain, dan. You talk about it a lot. Not just about stress. Mental illness. Were talking about traumatic brain injury and alzheimers disease. This is an area we will be hearing more about, the brain and how it affects our entire lives in 2017. Said by a woman who meditates daily. Absolutely. Something i approve of. Thank you very much and we appreciate it. You both meditate. Two more reasons i should. Cantou yes, exactly. I think shes maybe not telling the truth. I do feel the calm.

Its all right. You meditated. It makes up for it. Hi, rob. We have a new storm developing for the new year. Over the next several days it will bring rain, snow, wind and Severe Weather across the central u. S. , the northern side, the snowy side texas down through louisiana, across the lighter amounts across parts of the northeast. Looking ahead two weeks from now, the second week of january the Climate Prediction Center is saying were going to continue to see the below average chunk of cold air dive down across much of the western half of the country and the jet stream really active across the south. That means wet across parts of Southern California and across the gulf states with the cold air in place including parts of the northeast and we often look for an ice or snowstorm across parts of the eastern third of the country. Be weary of that as we go through the middle part of january. Hello 2017. Again looking towards the middle part of january an active weather pattern. The Northern Tier includes paulas state of michigan is on the dry side. Thats good news after the very active december. Guys, well have another weather update in the second half hour of the show. See you then. Lets talk money. The start of the new year is a great time to take a look at your financial picture. Here now with some advice is abcs chief business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis. Good morning. Happy new year. Whats the first move we should be making as we head into 2017. Its always a good idea to get in the habit of the new year to check your Credit Report. This is really important because the number of hacks that we have seen last year. There were so many high profile hacks and what can happen when about you from your Facebook Page information to the things you put in accounts, they can create new accounts under your name without your knowledge. The only way in some cases youre really going to know about this is if you go over that Credit Report with a fine tooth comb. You can find a free one at annualcreditreport. Com. The other thing you talk about in terms of advice is going digital. Yes, theres so much paperwork as you know when it comes to your finances and you can move most online. Now banks all have apps. Many banks you can bank through the app. You never have to visit the location if you dont want to. You can move so many of your accounts online with things like mit. Com. You can use that to track all of your accounts. It just gets rid of a lot of that clutter in your life that distracts you and keeps you from earning and growing your money. But when you go digital doesnt it create digital clutter, clutter in your inbox . That. Unsubscribe. Over the holidays you might have done shopping online perhaps and used your email address for that shopping. You should unsubscribe for there. That will allow you to not have the clutter and also keep you from spending money you dont want to spend. And what about Credit Card Debt and looking at ways to deal with that . Because thats a huge problem for so many people. Huge problem. Annual balances on a credit card in this country is over 5,000. The number one thing for people to do is obviously to pay them down. We know that Interest Rates are going higher which means that credit card balance will continue to grow faster and faster in the year ahead. Theres great ways to look at new credit cards. Because the credit card you have might not be the best for you. Are you paying a fee . Are you getting the rewards you should be getting . Two great websites for that, banksrate. Com and nervewalt. Look at all the credit cards to determine whats right for you. I would have loved to have been in the room when they came up with that name. What about 401ks. Its important you max out that 401k. And get what the employer is giving to you. Most employers now are doing matching within 401ks. If youre not doing that, if youre not taking the full match, youre leaving money on the table. So max out the 401k. Do it at the beginning of the year so you dont forget about it and just spend the rest of the year increasing your money hopefully. Planning for retirement. Thinking about living on a yacht. Living 10 happier in retirement. I love that. Becca, thank you very much. Thank you. We have said this a time or two, but i think new york city, fair to say, knows how to throw a party. They have perfected the art. After the ball drops and the crowds head home, its time for an epic cleanup and diane plays cleanup here on the set. All the time. Its a big job but somebodys got to do it. For us new york city has it down. Five, four, three, two for millions of americans its all about that moment. When the iconic ball drops and over 3,000 pounds of confetti sail through the sky. But what does it take to clean up after one of the biggest parties in the world . For the Times Square Alliance the real fireworks start just after midnight. As an army of 180 sanitation workers descend on the aftermath followed by 50 street sweepers and garbage trucks. Not even six hours later, 52 tons of party hats, confetti and debris have vanished. The ball drops at midnight and then by literally 6 00 in the morning on the 1st the department of satation from the city of new york has done an amazing job picking up so much of the trash thats out there and hadnt been a Million People in times square the day before. Thats just the trash. Thousand miles of cables. Building three stages. Extra platforms. Within 24 hours the stages come down and times square is back to normal. The confetti has disappeared. Its all been taken care of. Been taken care of doesnt always mean disposed of. Tens of thousands of those flips of confetti have handwritten wishes on them and not everyone so quick to throw them away. My wife and i pull down a wish together and read it and take it home with us and hope it comes true. And if you like to get your wish on the times square confetti every december theres a wish wall where you can write it down in person or post your wish on twitter or instagram with the confettiwish. I bet a lot of sanitation workers were wishing to have this morning off. They were wishing for less confetti. Thank you very much. Maybe well find that confetti wish next year. Will try.

Were with family here at gma as well. Its tough to work with you when youre hungover. We want to turn to one of the big legal battles shaping up in the new year. Thanks for throwing me under the bus. A number of high profile cases as we head into 2017 and abc news sunny hostin has the names of the folks who will have their day in court. Sunny, good morning. Good morning. Well, from celebrities to documentaries to subjects. Famous names will have their cases heard with the results, anyones guess. They are the crimes that dominated the headlines in 2016. Rocking hollywood. A big year that turned binge watchers into crime solvers. This is a prepaid call from adnan syed. Adnan syeds story has captivated millions since the podcast serial.

Were going to get to the bottom of who killed Theresa Halbach. And we firmly believe that we will establish that it was not steven avery. Then theres millionaire robert durst, the focus of hbos the jinx. What the hell did i do . Kill them all. As that aired, durst was arrested for the 2000 shooting death of his friend berman. According to the newly released transcripts, durst told los angeles prosecutors in march 2015, i just didnt really, really, really think that i was going to end up arrested. Also, he allegedly claimed he taping of the hit hbo mini series saying i was on meth, i was on meth the whole time, it should have been obvious.
