Evening, and the fees you dont need to be paying. And the one simple step that finds them for you. Good evening and its great to have you with hirs on a wednesday night. And we begin here with major new developments in the race for 2016. The chips falling fast after New Hampshire. Two candidates now out of the race. Chris christie and Carly Fiorina dropping out. Last night, the outsiders winning. After that huge win for donald trump in New Hampshire, hes now in South Carolina at this hour, about to hold a major event. Trump won New Hampshire. The other headline, the surprise second finish for Ohio Governor john kasich, as we ask him, is he ready for a battle with trump . And, senator marco rubio tonight, explaining to us why he came in fifth place. Rubio, pointing to the abc debate and his performance. Abcs Jonathan Karl in South Carolina tonight, asking, can any republican now beat trump . Reporter Donald Trumps victory, in a word huge. Steamrolling the competition. I wanted to congratulate the other candidates, okay . Now that i got that over with, you know, its always tough and then tomorrow, boom, boom. But thats the way it is. Reporter today, for anyone who thought trump was just a reality star reporter New Hampshire was a reality check. Trump pulverized his closest rival 2 to 1, and now hes already predicting his next victory. We are going now to South Carolina were going to win in South Carolina. Reporter but in South Carolina, trump is already under attack by ted cruz. Who, today released this video. Look i got the trump action figure. No way. Lets see what does he do . He pretends to be a republican. Reporter in South Carolina today, a big crowd for Ohio Governor john kasich. He was last nights surprise second place finisher, running an upbeat campaign. Tonight, the light overcame the darkness of negative campaigning. Reporter but today, kasich says hes ready to fight. Dont mess with me, okay . So, im not going to be a pin cushion or a marshmallow, but im also not going to spend my time trying to trash other people. Reporter perhaps the biggest disappointment in New Hampshire was marco rubio, fifth place, blaming his debate disaster. Our disappointment tonight is not on you. Its on me. Its on me. I did not do well on saturday night, so, listen to this that will never happen again. Reporter rubio had all the momentum until his repeatathon at the abc news debate. Lets dispel once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. Reporter minutes later lets dispel with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. Reporter today, we caught up with rubio as he and his family left snowy New Hampshire. How did they let you guys on here, man . Reporter on board, a crush of reporters. But later, onon one, i asked him to explain what went wrong. So, what happened to you in that moment . In the debate . You know, i had made the decision that i didnt want to get into a debate where im going to attack other republicans. And in hindsight, you know, maybe that was a mistake. I shouldnt have done it that way, because what it did was, it moved me to a message that pivoted away from the question and kind of led to this perception that i tried to evade it. Reporter rubio tells me hes now ready to hit donald trump. Lets face it. You laid off trump. You know, my campaign has largely been about avoiding these sorts of interrepublican fights. Now, if theres a policy difference, well talk about policy differences. Reporter but are you going to go after donald trump . Were going to talk about policy differences. He is now the frontrunner, okay . He is clearly the front runner for the republican nomination. Jon karl with us from South Carolina. Jon, you and i were in New Hampshire last night. Youre already in South Carolina. Donald trump, about to take the stage there behind you. He loves the polls. So, tell our viewers tonight, where does he stand there . Reporter david, he has led every major poll in South Carolina since october. The most recent one, a week before the Iowa Caucuses and he had a double digit lead. And meantime, jon, two candidates dropping out of the race. New jersey governor chris christie, saying he is leaving the race, meeting with his Campaign Staff late today after spending time with his family, his wife on this. And former hewlettpackard ceo Carly Fiorina announcing shes out, too. Suddenly, the stakes even higher for those who are left . Reporter absolutely. And remember, this race started with 17 republican candidates. Now, we are down to six. Donald trump and five others all dividing up the antitrump vote, and that leaves trump solidly in the lead. All right, jon karl reporting in from South Carolina tonight. Jon, thank you. On the democratic side tonight, we are oneonone with Bernie Sanders, after his major victory over Hillary Clinton by 22 points. Here in new york city today, visiting harlem and since his victory last night, raising more than 5 million in just 24 hours. Secretary clinton here in new york, as well, hud ming with her team now, conceding she has a lot of work to do, especially among young voters.

Reporter sanders now vowing to take his Political Revolution forward. And now, its onto nevada, South Carolina and beyond. Nice to see you again. But today, when i asked, this stark admission. If the election were tomorrow, do you think you could win South Carolina and nevada . No. Fortunately for us, the election is not tomorrow. Reporter he faces an uphill climb in those states, where a large portion of the m theic vote is black and latino. It explains his visit to harlem today, trying to match Hillary Clintons strong support in those communities. Do you really think you can beat her on that . There are polls that show you behind by 40 when it comes to nonwhite voters. Im not denying that we have got a lot of work in front of us. But we have already closed the gap. Within the africanamerican and latino communities. Reporter hillary dloin now fighting hard for those voters. You have to face up to the hard truth of injustice and systemic racism. Reporter in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton putting on a brave face in defeat. Now, we take this campaign to the entire country. Were going to fight for every vote. Reporter but today, clinton off the trail. Her team trying to figure out how she managed to lose women voters 44 to 55 , and young people, 16 to 83 . Clinton already trying to woo them. I know i have some work to do. Particularly with young people, but i will repeat again what i have said this week even even if they are not supporting me now, i support them. Reporter but today on the view, sanders paying Hillary Clinton a compliment during a little game of campaign word association. Donald trump . What can i say . One nice thing. Come on, bernie. One nice thing. He has nice ties . Nice hair . Humble. Hillary clinton . Intelligent. Cecilia vega with us live tonight here in new york. Very tough loss for Hillary Clinton. And are learning that tonight, her top aides are calling key supporters to tell them the campaign is ready for the next fight . Reporter thats right, david. There were calls today to donors, supporters on capitol hill. Aides trying to ease concerns after what happened in New Hampshire. The big question right now, though, is what happened next .

Thank you. To another breaking headline at this hour. Late today, the department of justice suing the city of ferguson. Filing a civil rights lawsuit, alleging the city routinely violated the rights of residents, misusing law enforcement, calling the abuses, quote, ongoing an pervasive. The nation watched those images as they came in, police in combat gear, clashing with protesters. After the death of michael brown, the unarmed black teen, killed by a white police officer. A grand jury later choosing not to indict that officer, and abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas, live in our Washington Bureau tonight. What comes next . Reporter david, tonight, the Justice Department is going to a federal judge to force the city of ferguson to overhaul its police department. A blistering press conference this evening, the attorney general has just accused the Ferguson Police of, quote, racial bias against africanamericans, calling the practices egregious and routine in that city that saw so much racial unrest in the summer of 2014. This new lawsuit comes after Ferguson CityCouncil Last Night rejected a deal the city had negotiated with the Justice Department. Lynch announced she is suing less than 24 hours later, highly unusual, david. All right, Pierre Thomas with the live developments on ferguson tonight. Pierre, thank you. Now, to the extreme weather were tracking at this hour. 11 states under Winter Weather alerts, recordbreaking cold on the way in the east. Recordbreaking heat in the west at the same time. Images coming in from outside cleveland tonight. Slick roads there. A major pileup, parts of i90, shut down. Lets get right to rob marciano, tracking all of this, really a ta tale of two countries tonight. Reporter it is. The cold could be in some spots the coldest theyve seen. In the west, a big ridge out there. That drops down even more cold to the east. Big trough, and well see more lake effect snow showers and squalls kind of rotate through the area. And the real cold stuff will come in this weekend. Wind chills, 10 to 20 degrees below zero across the northeast. That means actual temperatures right around zero degrees. Time to think about protecting your pipes and other vulnerable areas in your home. David . Rob, thank you. Now, to the giant cruise ship rocked by hurricaneforce winds, filled with american passengers filming the whole thing. Finally returning home at this hour. And abcs linzie dsey davis is. Reporter 4,500 now sea weary passengers making their way back to new jersey tonight, three days ahead of schedule, after being caught in a severe storm. Its probably the biggest scare that ive had so far in my life. Reporter a team of coast guard inspectors on deck to determine the extent of storm damage to the roil caribbean cruise ship after it was pounded for hours by hurricaneforce winds. I just want to see land at this point. Reporter maritime lawyer jim walker says the half dozen passengers who have already called him from the ship saying they feared for their lives probably dont have a case. The cases probably wont be successful. Reporter but he says one could argue the cruise line ignored several weather predictions of the storm, though the captain says he didnt realize the magnitude ahead of time. Just exploded. Reporter the ntsb says its currently considering an investigation. Anthem of the seas has a soldout, eightday cruise departing for the bahamas on saturday. Roil caribbean tells us it is scheduled to continue as planned. David . Linsey, thank you. Now, to a developing headline on a story weve been following here. An urgent new warning about lithium batteries on planes. The risk they could cause a, quote, catastrophic fire. The stunning images the faa wants you to see. Youre about to see what happened. Abcs david kerley covers aviation for us. Reporter this is the faas own test of what can happen if a shipment of lithium ion batteries spontaneously ignites. These batteries can lead to catastrophic aircraft loss, the faa is warn, tonight, and current Fire Suppression systems cannot effectively control a lithium battery fire. They power our computers and tablets. And can overheat and ignite. Think about the house fires and hoverboard fires suspected to be caused by lithium batteries weve seen happening recently. Two 747s have crashed, the packages of batteries they carried suspected of contributing. Thats why the National Transportation safety board is also out with a recommendation that if batteries are carried, they are separate from other Flammable Materials and the number of batteries be restricted. Airline pilots want even more that the batteries be listed as hazardous. We cannot continue to lose these airplanes due to fires that are uncontained and quickly bring an airplane down. Reporter major u. S. Carriers dont allow the shipments of lithium batteries, but thats not true for all airlines, which is why the faa is calling on those carriers to study the risks of carrying this potentially dangerous cargo. David . David kerley at Reagan National for us. David, thank you. We turn now to a stunning medical error. A new mom who says she thought her newborn was being taken for a routine checkup. Instead, she was taken into surgery, the doctor operating on the wrong newborn. Abcs Steve Osunsami asking, how does this happen . Hi there reporter doctors call what happened to this newborn baby in tennessee a never event, something that should never happen. But this past december, after Jennifer Melton gave berth to her healthy son, she says the staff at University Medical center in lebanon, tennessee, took baby nate away for what was supposed to be a physical. At this point, the nurse started to mention the procedure that had been performed on him. Reporter when they brought the baby back, they learned there was a terrible mistake. A doctor had performed a surgical procedure meant for a different child. At that point, i began to cry hysterically. Essentially, they took our child, who was 100 healthy, and just took him out of the nursery and cut his mouth. Reporter the family gave us these medical records that show it was a frenulectomy, where they cut underneath the tongue so it moves better for children having trouble nursing. There is no excuse for operating on the wrong baby. None. Reporter in statement tonight, the hospital says it cant get into specifics because of privacy laws, but says they take seriously any concerns brought to our attention. The familys lawyer tells us the doctor did apologize, but says the hospital still billed them for the procedure. David . Thats incredible. Steve osunsami tonight. Thank you.

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. 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. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Cuddles better than my husband does. C. But thats just between you and me.
