been out early this morning pushing hard for those final votes tonight. it really is a fight to the finish especially for hillary clinton and bernie sanders who are in a statistical tie. clinton, i'm told, rallied her biggest iowan town last night and she's counting on loyal supporters, older women while sanders has spent significant time rallying young votes in college town. for these two, it comes down to voter turnout. >> i have a large voter turnout. if thousands of people many of whom have given up on the political process. many young people who have never participated in the political process, if they come out, we're going to win. >> you go to caucus tomorrow night, you're not only selecting a president you are selecting a commander in chief. i am a better candidate and thanks to you, i will be a better president. >> on the gop side donald trump woke up to a five-point lead over his chief rival, ted cruz. analysts say trump is having success drawing evangelical voters away from cruz which is a key group for the texas senator. he is fresh off a high energy speech from last night and the latest poll shows him a solid eight point ahead of marco rubio who told voters at a town hall, quote, it's not about who you like most about who gives the gop the best chance to take back the white house. >> we are going to win the state in the general election. we are going to turn america around! >> we need to take power out of washington and back to we, the people. that is what this campaign is all about. >> you haven't had a winner in iowa in 16 years. we're going to have a winner, you better believe it. >> another thing i'm hearing from our team on the ground is that a number of candidates including new jersey governor chris christie, well, they're leaving iowa ahead of tonight's caucus voting which begins at 7:00 central time and 8:00 standard and making their way to new hampshire when a week from tomorrow the first primary will be held. live in the digital operations center, katy zachry. the iowa caucuses get under way at 8:00 evening and our time and the final poll shows just how close this contest is. the final republican poll in iowa shows donald trump with 28% support. he's leading ted cruz by five points and they're followed by marco rubio and ben carson. on the democratic side, hillary clinton has a three-point lead on bernie sanders. since that's within the point's four-point margin of error, the contest is a statistical tie. count on nbc 10 for your complete coverage of the iowa caucuses. lauren mayk is following the cauc caucuses. catch them on nbc 10.com. this morning two people are in the hospital after a septa bus collided with a school bus. sky force 10 is over philadelphia's finish rock neighborhood right around 6:00 this

photos, documents and what the train's black box recorded and the train's engineer spoke with investigators last year and he originally said he did not remember what happened, but today we should have more insight into what his exact words were by way of interview transcripts. amtrak has committed to more safety. you've heard about that. passengers boarding trains today, though. they're still concerned about that. listen. >> i don't know if i'm going to learn from the report, but what i already know is amtrak's underfunded and people want to ride trains and they're more convenient, but it's not -- it doesn't have enough money to make the capital improvements that are required which is the case here. >> reporter: we reached out to amtrak today and a spokeswoman said they're

most popular ten-mile race is just around the corner and starting today, you can enter a lottery to participate in this year's bluecross broad street run. joining me this morning is jim moreno, the director of the race. thanks for being with us. >> a pleasure. >> first, let's talk about the process in term of the lottery and how people can register. >> the lottery opened up as of today and we go until february 12th at 11:59 p.m. and everyone that want to participate the event and the computer will generate a list of up to 40,000 runners and we'll go from there and but anybody that wants to participate should register for the lottery and it will be a great experience for them, i promise. >> let's be clear, everybody gets a fair shake at this, it doesn't register today until you wait for 11:30 and it's all going into the same pool. correct, it's wide open and that's why it's easy for everybody to do over a 12-week period and a 12-day period, i should say and we had a position where we had -- it sold out in three hours four years ago. we've gone to the lottery and make it fair for school teachers and doctors and everybody else that was working during the day. now it's an open season for everybody and we can go from there. you mentioned it's a popular event and not only here, but around the country. i did it last yore and part of the excitement is not only participating and you get a broad street run shirt, and you can't go into a gym into philadelphia without seeing broad street run t-shirt. >> i'm up to 98 days in a row where i've seen everyone on it and it's pretty cool about the shirt and everything else that we do for the race. it's an iconic event for the city. we love putting it on the parks and rec department and all my staff that helped put this on for the past 36 years has been wonderful and there are 3,000 volunteers that are part of it and with nbc 10's coverage last year and for the first time, bluecross' partnership it's been a wonderful event. >> do you think that's why more people are participating? >> as far as coverage and things like that, yeah, the notoriety and the challenge of running eight miles it's a great distance for people to want to go through the full marathon distances and you know, with the adrenaline that we have with the spectators on broad street it really makes it happen for anybody that's a part of it from the spectators to the volunteers and to the runners, of course. word of mouth has been the best advertising. >> i have to say, for anybody that is running and hears the rumor it's all downhill on broad street. there are a couple of uphill spots especially right at lehigh. you have to trek through it to keep going. >> you wound out that one of the secrets is rid downhill and only three miles into the race and that's where it flattens out and the first homes, they get your attention. the best part is you get to see all of the other runners' heads bobbing in front of you and that's the uniqueness of it. >> in the tough spots you not only have the water stations which help tremendously, which are the volunteers and also the spectators and so many families that come out with signs cheering on their loved ones and all of the runners that are out there. >> in temple university marching band and when they come out it kicks everybody into gear. if you run the first three miles on adrenaline, then the rest will be easy and you can -- just don't overdo it in the first three miles and then you'll make it and it's a good time for everybody. >> it's awesome and a great tradition and it really brings people from all communities together and you're running through many different communities in philadelphia right down broad street. >> that's our chance to expose the city to the outside people that come in because it is a national event and we do get a lot of people from other states and this gives them a chance to see the true flavor from philadelphia all of the way down the line and it's raising money for the american cancer society and they've been our partner since 1982 and we helped contribute to the charity program and runners can make additional donations to that organization and they do the registration over the next 12-day period. >> jim, we do have some information for our viewers in case you missed us when we were talking about the lottery. here's the deal, lottery to run in the bluecross broad street run, register today until friday, february 12th, it doesn't matter what time you register. you have to do it before 11:59. lottery selections are random so again, you can register at any point in time to have a chance. jim marino with the broad street run. >> thank you very much for being here. >> i may be running in the sears event. >> i'll see you on may first. coming up on nbc 10 news today. an important day in decision 2016, it's a tight race for first place in iowa and find out why some of the candidates are focused on getting out of town before the caucuses ea ees even getting heart smart. no better time to do it than now. no reason why the bluecross broad street run is the key to healthier living. this is nbc 10 news. after months of campaigning, the first votes of decision 2016 will be cast tonight. here's a live look right now at the state capital in des moines, iowa as the push continues to get voters to come on out and caucus this evening. weather could impact how many iowans actually caucus. a winter storm is expected to arrive just as voters will be making their picks for president. forecasters are tracking the snowstorm and they say it will move over iowa by later tonight. several of the candidates urged voters yesterday not to let the weather hold them back from making their voices heard. former vice presidential candidate sarah palin gave her first interview since endorsing donald trump. the "today" show host asked her about comments she made about don adtrump, the military and her son's ptsd. >> you guys brought me here to talk about iowa caucus and not to talk about my kids and that was a promise, but as things go in the world of media, you guys don't always keep your promises evidently. i never blamed president obama. what i have blamed president obama in doing, though, is this level of disrespect for the united states military that has made manifest in getting bunches and beefing up and letting the military to do the job that is trained to do. >> palin also talked about ted cruz and the candidate she once supported. she wants trump in the white house and for cruz to remain in the senate. >> tracy pots is live in des moines iowa, with a preview of all of the action that's expected tonight. hi, tracy. >> hi. good morning. that starts with tracking the sites where they're going to be doing the caucuses tonight and lots of people going out in favor of their candidates and what we're finding here on the ground and we've been here 24 hours or so talking to people trying to get a sense of what's happening and what we're find is there are still a lot of people that are undecided or not necessarily married to their first choice. >> this is our time. this is the time for the men and women of iowa. >> reporter: final arguments less than 24 hours before tonight's caucuses. >> there is a large turnout in caulkises all over the state and i believe we will win. >> i hope you will stand up for me. i hope you will fight for me. >> hillary clinton and donald trump have slim leads in the latest des moines register poll. >> we have to win this election and we have to win in iowa. >> but that same poll shows one in ten iowans are undecide period. >> i'm an undecided voter. >> i am leaning for marco rubio. >> reporter: but could still change their minds today. karen is a democrat who may caucus as a republican. >> to make sure that a republican candidate we're not interested in is not included. >> reporter: vicky daniel interrupted her florida vacation to fly home for tonight's caucuses. >> it's important. i want to stand up for my candidate. >> that's what democrats have to do here, literally, unlike republicans there's no secret ballot. >> you basically have to put your hand up in public and say i am for this candidate. that's really something. that's just such hands-on public democracy. >> reporter: democracy in action in iowa tonight. and we're going to see more of the candidates today and we'll see the last-minute pitches and marco rubio having breakfast at a diner and hillary clinton stopped by with doughnuts and coffee for those in the des moines area. donald trump around lunchtime in waterloo, making those final arguments, but there are not a lot of people who are expected to participate tonight. yes, it could be a record turnout, but by record in 2008 the first obama election that is the biggest turnout they've ever seen. one in six iowans participated. so rosemary, that means five and six stayed home and they're hoping to break that record tonight. >> tracie potts putting it into perspective. it's on to new hampshire and the first of the nation primary one week from tomorrow. msnbc will host a presidential debate this thursday at 9:00 and also the contender, hillary clinton and bernie sanders and martin o'malley are expected to attend. today investigators will be revealing new evidence in the deadly amtrak derailment that happened in philadelphia last year. we're getting to review that new information that's set to come out in just an hour and a half from now. nbc 10's drew smith is live at 30th street station with more on what to expect. >> a lot of people who ride amtrak are looking forward to interview transcripts that should be part of this 2,000-page report as a compilation of all of the evidence that federal investigators put together during the crash. one of those engineers, brandon bastion can provide more information on what happened as the train sped to more than 100 miles per hour along the curve at frankfurt junction last may. the earlier released statements indicate he did not remember what happened during the crash. other things you should look for in this report. photos, the black box and other interviews with first responders. this is all just information. no conclusions or analysis yet and we spoke with people boarding trains today who were happy to see an increased emphasis on safety technology after the crash. they hope this report will build toward more improvement. >> there was a gap and that's why that train was allowed to go faster than it should have. so i think that's already in the work, but you know, what's the next problem that's going to happen? >> here at nbc 10 we have a team of people ready to review those transcripts. we'll start poring over them the moment they're released and we're expecting that they should come out around 1:00 this afternoon and we'll get that information on the nbc 10 app as well as our newscast beginning at 4:00. live at 30th street station, nbc 10 news. your nbc 10 first alert weather. mild conditions right now down at the shore. not too many people out on the beach. nonetheless, it's not that bad outside, really throughout the entire area and it's the first day of february. this is a live look at cape may and guess what, bill? i'm thinking that you know what? it may be one of those days to wear short sleeves.

moving through during the afternoon will be done by evening and that will start a cooling process that will have us a little chillier tomorrow and that's a temporary cooldown. the seven-day forecast with the record heat later this half hour. rosemary? >> in other news this morning investigators out west believe the winter weather and snowy conditions played a factor in the 29-car pile-up right near the california-nevada border. traffic was at a standstill for hours and you can see the still shot. california highway patrol said 25 vehicles and four semi trucks were involved in the crash along i-80. police have not said how many people were hurt or the extent of the injuries. we do know there are no reports of any deaths. the storm did kill one person and damaged several homes in southern california. a giant tree fell on to a car in san diego over the weekend killing the driver. the tree also crushed three other parked cars. strong winds and heavy rain also hit parts of los angeles. forecasters are warning that the storm could bring flooding and mud slides. there it is. wow! a winter storm in aerz arz this weekend produced thunder snow. a storm chaser took this video east of flagstaff where the storm is set to bring as much as a foot of snow. from one extreme to the other. a surfer in hawaii called this a sea monster rising out of the ocean. just watch as that giant wave knocks him right off his board and swallows him hole. no problem here. apparently the only thing that happened is the surfer had a stiff neck and his board broke and he got another one and was back out surfing the next day. more on decision 2016. it's the final hours before the iowa caucuses and the candidates have been stumping round the clock making their last pitches ahead of

to talk to you. it is a very busy day here in iowa and the candidates making their final pitches and shaking the final hands and i've been following the clinton campaign quite closely and she went to her campaign headquarters to thank her supporters and volunteers for all of their hard work. the latest des moines register bloomberg poll shows her with a slight lead, rosemary and one campaign official tells me they're feeling a measured confidence and having into tonight the reason for that confidence in part because of that des moines register bloomberg poll and secretary clirpt has built up a growth fund game. also feeling confident because she's spent so much time here in this state. this is a state where she had her first campaign stop when she first announced it and she has visited a number of times since that's what's happening on the democratic side and it will be very close, by the way, for the democrats and trump has a lead heading tonight on the republican side and ted cruz says he has the best ground game. they've done all of the hard work now and now it's up to the voters. >> kristen welker, live for us in iowa, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> you can count

lower risk for breast cancer later in life. researchers from harvard found the risk of breast cancer was lowered by up to 19% among women who ate the most diet ear fiber during adolescence and early adulthood. the greatest benefit came from fruit and vegetable fiber. health experts think fiber-richfood came with high estrogen levels which were strongly linked with breast cancer. today marks the start of heart month. exercise is one key to reducing the risk for heard disease and as nbc's erica edwards tells us many are not getting enough physical activity. >> reporter: aed abo body at re tends to stay at rest and that greatly increases the risk for heart disease. >> physical inactivity is a killer. >> reporter: research from the cardiology of the cleveland clinic, 40% of us are not meeting the minimum recommendations for exercise. 30 minutes a day, five days a week of walking, biking, lifting weights and any moderate physical activity goes a long way in improving measures of cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure. fitness experts say start small and stay realistic. don't expect to lose 20 pounds in the first month and don't expect to go to every class, you know, five days a week right in a row. >> just as exercise can help prevent heart problems, it's equally important for people already living with heart disease. doctors say they should be getting just as much physical activity as anybody else. >> the one caveat i would say to that is that they should build an exercise program with a professional and so with their cardiologist or with their sports cardiologist. >> if you have those days that are impossible to work in or work out don't take it sitting down. studies have shone simply standing for two hours a day can reduce heart disease risk by 10%. erica edwards, nbc news. guess what? american airlines is bringing back some amenities for travelers and the snacks are back. american will once again offer free treats to flyers that will offer

scholarship. >> wow! >> and it represents about $10 million in tuition that goes about 160 area private schools. >> and there are some great corporate partners involve in the scholarship fund, of course, comcast, pico. walk us through the process to apply for a scholarship. certainly, we try to make it really easy so that families at the get go have an opportunity to really understand what the process is and whether this is a right match for their children. right now we are accepting online applications at csf philadelphia spelled out .org. it takes three minutes to complete and we don't charge a fee and once they do that, a family is entered into our lottery and we'll be conducting the lottery shortly after march 1st and it is the application deadline. >> in terms of qualifications, this is not a merit-based scholarship. >> no. especially when dealing with younger grades you want children to get good foundational years and education in schools and we don't look at grades and we don't look at other factors other than financial need. some more information and the applications are being accepted right now for 2000 scholarships to private or parochial schools and you do have to be a philadelphia resident and check out the nbc 10 app to apply and as you mentioned your website that can direct people on how to apply for these scholarships coming up? >> ina lipman, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you. your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist bill henley. just a few minutes before lunchtime and we're starting to see the first raindrops arrive in center city. this is a view from the comcast center and just very light rainfall and only rainfall with temperatures that are in the 50s right now and 51 degrees in philadelphia. i still expect the temperatures to move up, in fact, they're climbing in the pocono mountains as the view of the clouds over blue mountain seeing skiers taking to the slopes and temperatures are in the 40s. here come the clouds and they're already taking over. we'll see a mostly cloudy afternoon and with those clouds light, very light rainfall. at least to start with. the heavier rainfall is way to the west and farther to the west, that is snow that's moving into nebraska. you may have heard the talk about snow coming in for the iowa caucuses. well, not looking all that impressive. by the time the caucuses have reported their official reports and it's 11:00 our time and there's barely any snow on the ground and the storm system doesn't get started until tomorrow and that's when they'll be shoveling in iowa. this is the same storm that's going to come our way on wednesday, but we're not going to see snow from it. in pacfact, the rain is likely with that rain, much warmer temperatures and 48 degrees in philadelphia. some scattered showers in the morning, but there will be some breaks in the rainfall and we will be into the 60s at noon time, 61 degrees and here comes the rain for the afternoon. the rain will be moving in and the temperatures will still stay warm. we hit 62 degrees and that will tie the record, but there is a good possibility we'll break the record on wednesday and get some rain to boot to wash away some of the salt and some of the remaining snow. for today, just very light showers and clouds increasing with scattered, light, afternoon showers and temperatures in the upper 50s to 60 degrees. >> behind these clouds a cold front comes through with the clouds and the rain and tomorrow it will be chillier and still above normal in the morning and afternoon and bright, sunny skies for tuesday. get your rain gear ready for wednesday, but it's going to be a warm one. 40 in the morning and 65 in the afternoon and that would blow through the old record from 2006. 48, though, gusty winds drying out on thursday and friday morning will be below freezing friday morning and seeing bright sunshine for friday and a good deal of sunshine this weekend, too, and that will warm us back into the upper 40s. we'll be right back. i do everything on the internet. but it's kind of slow. my friends said i should get fios because it's the fastest, but i thought it would be too
