Terrorism and into their pockets. Nikki haley called upon the un to take steps to support iran ands. As i understand, there are actually meeting tonight, i believe folks over in iran are trying to meet to try to figure out what sort of response there will be to this right now. Shes als calling for the security counsel to get thr together and have some sort of discussion about this. The question is will there be support on the part of the unit ed to support the protestses in iran. There seems to be some question about this. It seems like it would be a no brainer, but well see what tack they take moving ahead. Nikki haley has been quite vocal. We saw that with the jeruseleum decision a cup of weeks ago. President trump and congress of course you know started 2018 with that big legislative victory. The question is whats next now for 2018. Ronica cleary is here with more on what is ahead for the president. Reporter hi, jim and shawn, the tax reformation the first it and onto the next thing. They want to know what the administration and republicans and of course democrats as well will focus on in 2018. They have a big list in front of them. Here are three things that we have gathered that we think are probably the Top Priorities at least to get to in the month of joon. Of course avoid the Government Shutdown and then come to a daca solution and finally the infrastructure t. The lawmakers passed a temporary slug but they need to come up with a permanent solution by january 19 to avoid the Government Shutdown, something that always reflects are poorly on whoevern pour if and when it does occur. When it comes to the dreamers and dac a you may recall President Trump basically over turned president s executive action. He did give six months, but time is running out. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, they want a solution, its just that they see the solution coming about in different ways. Will they somehow meet in the middle . Certainly an issue that a lot of people are talking about and then finally infrastructure. That Election Night speech if you were up until i think President Trump spoke until like 3 00 in the morning. One of the things he mentioned that night when he became president was infrastructure. Now were necessity in january of 2018, finally the administration is put forth an infrastructure package. Reports suggest that that plan and package that the add mrgt has put forth is going to be the blueprint for whatever lawmakers put out when it comes to address l infrastructure crisis in this country. Now, sarah hug bisanders was asked about basically where the president prioritizes these issues and really theres even more. Take a listen to had to say today. The president was elected because of his ambition agenda and his desire to get a lot of things done. Were going to focus on that. The things that you listed are certainly going to be big priorities for us in 2018. A lot of the the meetings that the president has this week with leadership will help determine what the best strategy is on each of those individual areas, but those are certainly welfare reform, infrastructure, responsible i am graition reform and healthcare will all be Top Priorities for the administration this year. Now when asked further she did say number one priority is avoiding the government shut down. We spoke with senator mark warner of virginia about his thoughts on really how we got to this place with such a long list of priorities. Youll be surprised by who he blames. Take a listen. January in past years has been relatively not that busy. Thats not going to be case this year. T the most active january since ive been on capital hill. We should have done more of this in december. One of the things that frustrates me as a former governor and former business guy , quong too often kicks the can. We should have done, for example, the budget it should have been done before the fiscal year gan on october 1. Weve got a lot of work to do that is all of our responsibility and weve got to find some Common Ground to get the work done. What a concept of. We should have done more. Taking responsibility. Certainly a refreshing thing to hear from a lawmaker. It seems like both democrats and republicans are really focused on getting things done. When i asked further of senator warner he also abud void ing the Government Shutdown is a top priority. Addressing dreamers and daca and then he brought up the Childrens Health insurance or chip which needs to be addressed as wevment the last one seems like well see what happens. President trumps first year in office was anything but predictable. Did he make good on a few of his Campaign Promise s, but what comes next. Five things to watch with niel standich. Happy new year. Last year it was about 36356 days ago we were gearing up for a new administration coming n. Here we are the first full year, minus 20 days. What are we looking for . One of the key things will be how much action is made to cross the aisles. Office litsz a very divided country right now President Trump is a very diversified figure. Can he reach out to democrats is one thing to be looking for. In your article he talked about all the Different Things well be looking for. A key one that weve talked about before is can he hold onto his base in we know a lot of his basis that middle america. Sometimes his policies dont necessarily bef that was one of the main yits Sarah Simmons of the tax bill. It benefited rich people and not people of lower income who were a big part of President Trumps base. They clearly elected him as a sort of transformative figure. What else do we have on the list here in we have a number of things in relation to, for example, will he campaign for republicans in the midterms he is someone who is popular with Republican Voters, but not popular with the overall population. How much of it is him wanting to many contact pain versus candidates wanting them to campaign on their behalf. There are certainly candidates who help, candidates he would be a hindrance to. In more moderate district and states its problematic. If you want to pump up Republican Voters and get them through the polls, that is helpful. Does he reach out to the democrats h in. Exactly. One of the big issues coming up p right now is daca, thats something where there is some democratic support and some republican support for that. Is that some issue where we can have bipartisan progs . Weve talked about israel. We see what is going on in iran. There seems to be all this uncertainty over replacement tillerson. It seems like his. What is on the plate with foreign policy. One of the things is the difference between rhetoric and action. President trump has been very some would say belligerent, some would say assertive in his rhetoric. Iran, criticized the deal, but didnt blow it up completely. We still have not reached the end of the russia investigation, his legal team is still working diligently every day. Where do we look forward to with that. Suggested that they believe that it will be fair. President trumps political allies have taken a very tact. Theyve attacked Robert Mueller a lot. So far President Trump has stay ed subdued. I dont know how long that was going to continue. No. Today he was tweeting about a. M. Dean and the just ticketed event department. He appointed jeff sessions, rod owns steen. Hes been critical of them, too. I dont know what are you hearing about that . Do you think this will continue . I think he generally does re sent that probe. The report ing that i hear is that people are trying to restrain him basically, but that that is not his impulse. Were just at the beginning. Niles standish, always good to have you on. Thanks for coming in. Lets talk about the weather. You know it is freezing outside. No , just a little bit. Palka. How long is this cold weather going to stick around . Were going to continue with this pattern, sean shawn and jim. Weve been talking ahead yum ping ahead and talking about what we will be expecting towards the end of the week. We will see temperatures into the 30s. This is where we topped out today, only in the 20s. Im going to give you a peak here at what were expecting as we head into the overnight hours. First , youve just got to see how much the country is covered in this cold air. D. C. 24 degrees right now, boston 18, wuf low 15, dwee troit and detroit and chicago, single digits. International falls at four greece. This goes all the way down to new orleans where its 34. Dallas is 26 and tampa at 50. The only places that are even half warnl here, san diego at 730 and phoenix at 74. Los angeles not too everybody else is doing the shiver, that is for sure. Overnight temperatures here locally mostly in the teens. Were thinking 13 for the district. Maybe 15 for manassas. Fourteen for frederick. Not much wind. So were not dealing with that wind chill. Well save that for later in the the week. But heres something that at least might help out a little bit. Tomorrow afternoon well describe it as chilly. Its amazing how your perspective changes when you spent so much time in the 30s. The 20s look good. Not too windy, either. I have to tell you that were keeping an eye on a storm that will begin to take shape tomorrow night near the what bahamas and its going to come up the coast and it looks like its going to be a bad one. It will rapidly deepen. Its a little bit too far from d. C. This thing is really going to deepen quite rapidly. There is going to probably be some accumulating snow at the coast at four to ing for ocean city, for shin teeing, for the salsbury area. Well watch the track for that. That will definitely be the key we could see some light flurries here in d. C. But most of this snow will be east of 95. The latest mod ilg i just got in takes it even further east. Maybe a light snow on 95 and beyond that it certainly gets really cold, friday and saturday , the worst of the cold. Back to you guys. Redid i, speak for yourself. Hundreds of women in hollywood are banning together for a brand new venture. Well talk about that one as five at six 306 comes back.

This is the first time youve had two women host the today show. Good morning america did it a couple of years ago. If 2017 was the year of me two, 2018 could be the year of real change. Joining us tonight we have womens rights activists. Guy lambert news director of wpc g radio. Page, promoting awareness victim empowerment. She joins us via skype. Im going to start with you, you heard today that hoda come biwas going to be replace matt lawr was this a good is a well educated, well compos ed journalist. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is going to bring to nbc universal. Face of what black women look like, which is necessary in this current temperature that were living with. She is going to speak and champion for womens rights and she has been doing that while she has been there. Some say its a symbolic move. Its important to put a face out there. It absolutely is. I think for far too long the situations have happened behind closed doors. Were talking about this systemic change and that were looking at under represented communities with the time out movement, so many straight white women have come to the forefront with their stories but so many other communities have been marginalized and even more silenced. And now this movement is souc thats so crucially important. Whats your thought when you heard this news. First of all i have to say it made me more aware of whats going on day in and day out. When you go into the workplace since the me two movement start ed. With regard to hoda, an excellent move. My question is will she get the same salary. Shes also doing more work. Well get into that in just a minute let me ask you, its not just news. Certainly weve seen this in politics. Weve seen this in the entertainment world where do i go from here . Innocent until Proven Guilty. Ever since the me two movement its guilty until Proven Guilty pbs later dont you come back in so we can have a conversation about this. You can say the same thing about a number of other people as well. As long as we keep that in mind well be able to move forward. This at least has employee powshed a loft women out there to be vocal. There has been criticism for some who say why did they wait 20 or 30 year, but the fact is its not that easy or not that implement to phrase it like that. It is not easy to come forward. Let me just say its very important for us to talk about nose event before Proven Guilty but we must not forget how often Sexual Harassment goes under the radar and how difficult it is for survivors to come forward. Lets not forget about the bill cosby where there are still survivors that are being sued for defamation that have really wanted to race their voice as a platform to shadow the silence but now cant. And there is a the lot of things that silence survi very difficult sometimes to come forward. I think the times up campaign is very critical in this situation because what it does is provide legal funds for women that are disenfranchised that may not have access to pay for legal services. Women that may have in the past been afraid or concerned what their financial situation looks like as a result of coming forward now they have some recourse, some assistance and kind of like a plush of resources. I think that is going to help them. Women dont get a chance to speak about Sexual Harassment. One in 15 africanamerican women report rape much thats a problem. Im glad weve gotcha thinking. Very much so. You can compliment me without harassing thank you. Happy new year. It is a new year in the Nations Capital so what does the mayor have in store talk about it at 5 6 30 after the break.
