some big steps, sam and laura. we should point out there's no credible threat against the united states at this point. still police officers across the nation are not taking any chances. in new york city, for example, a special police unit is monitoring times square, also shoppers with bags are mingling in other parts of the city with officers carrying assault rifles, the same in philadelphia, where the police commissioner doesn't want to necessarily alarm people. he wants to make sure folks know they're out there. los angeles, dallas, san francisco, you'll see an increased police presence at areas where holiday shoppers are or areas where holiday folks gather like union square there in san francisco. should see a bigger police presence there. shoppers we talked with say they welcome this increased police presence and say they won't let the berlin attacks ruin the joyful occasion of this holiday. live in washington, edward lawrence, back to you, sam and laura. >> thank you very much, edward. >>> 6:38. this has been

laura, as always, thank you very much. laura bicker in washington for us. well, to find out what people in moscow think of this diplomatic to and fro i spoke to a , political analyst at the russian news agency. he said few russians would have been surprised by putin's response. >> i think when the american side, primarily president obama, decided to expel the russian diplomats, they kind of proceeded from the image of putin created by the mainstream media in the west, that he was a vengeful person, very easily getting angry, bad guy in general. this is certainly not true. putin is not vengeful. there were a lot of people in the government who are opposed to him and criticize him and are still in the government. in the same way, instead of expelling 35 american diplomats and shutting down the diplomatic facilities in russia, as the american side did with the russian embassy in washington, d.c., putin just said i'm not going to expel anyone. i congratulate president obama and his family on the new year. and i invite the children of american diplomats to a chr

laura: the u.s. president barack obama has announced he's placing large swaths of the arctic and the atlantic as off-limits to oil and gas drilling. martin: there is hope for arctic drilling. trilling is now banned. he comes after president barack obama used in 1953 law that allows residents to limit areas from mineral leasing, and once this has been done, it cannot be reversed by future presidents. obama announced this move jointly with the canadian prime minister, just intrude oh. these actions -- justin trudeau. it protects a sensitive ecosystem that is unlike any other region on earth, said his statement. the ban would allow wildlife and low post live in these areas without fear of an oil spill that would be especially difficult to clear in the cold conditions. 115 millioncts acres of federal waters off of city plus most of the 4 million acres from new england to virginia. environmentalists say donald trump would have to go to court to reverse the ban, but oil groups have faith in the president-e

i'm laura garcia-cannon. i'm cold this morning. >> sweater, some gloves, a scarf, a hat, maybe all of that. it's been so cold lately and it continues this morning. there will be some milder air in the forecast as we go into the next couple of days. probably warms you up to know that. here is a look at the temperatures now. it's only 33 degrees in the tri-valley, 37 in the south bay and 33 in the north bay. we'll talk about that warmer air and some rain coming up as we head over to mike, traaking us through the tri-valley. >> look at that, a nice ease ski drive around the bay. expecting light traffic flow like yesterday, last week before christmas. 84 slowing through the construction area and the bay bridge we should see the backup over there. the metering lights are on. there was activity across the bay as well. for what happened overnight, we'll hand it right to you guys. >> that's right. with breaking news we've been following all morning long, you mentioned a tow truck leads police on a high-speed chase en

laura is actually one the sweeter people in washington. i wanted to highlight something you were doing a charity that you are involved in. tell us about it. >> food for the poor. actually operates in 17 different countries. they are phenomenal. 9 5% of all the money. they get small contributions. bigger contributions as well. goes right to services that help the poor not just handing out food and water but self-sustainability. areas that haven't gotten the benefit of a free market and haven't gotten the benefit of a non-corrupt government actually helps these people help themselves. it's amazing. why i know 'it is because i went to one of their countries guatemala which is near and deer my heart my daughter maria 11 is from guatemala. i have got to see what you all do. we went and i was like i spent time both crying, smiling, laughing, and just absorbing the angels that walk among us. people that do the kind of stuff that you and i don't do but give money and support it from nuns who are like these frail 70-year-old nuns to young people to

laura? >> reporter: hi, dan. if there is a bright spot in all of this today, it's that the alameda county sheriff announced that now three-quarters of the building has been searched, he does not expect in his words a huge number of victims to be found in the remaining areas. now the search effort was delayed for a time this morning because of an unstable wall. after an overnight delay the difficult work of searching for bodies resumed, a painstaking job that requires crews to sift through the rubble largely by hand, literally one bucket at a time. it's a process shown in this photo released by

. >> and i'm laura garcia. >> tomorrow is going to be heavy and widespread. we'll have major changes over the next 24 hours. as you head out, you may need the windshield wipers. that's the view there. when that heavy rain comes in, we will have the threat of flooding and we do have a flash flood watch in effect for the san the cruz mountains and the burn scarred areas. we'll be talking about this and what else to expect as we go into the rest of the week. that's coming up in a few weeks. mike is already tracking the crash on the roadways. >> milpitas, everything clooered up. we'll take you to the north portion. here there's a crash reported. first it said it was blocking two or three lanes. right now the bay bridge is clear. >> thank you. we have breaking news in our room. a warehouse fire firefighters are trying to take out. started after 2:00 a.m. so far no injuries have been reported. of course, we'll bring you updates as soon as we get them. >>> also just into our new news, president donald trump. since then he's been serving on the board for an energy as

laura? >> i think that the interagency squabbling over how much russia affected the election is kind of -- at this point it is besides the point. it is clear and i think kellyanne is right about this, the left, they're hop scotching from excuse to excuse. they started with comey and then said let's get rid of the electoral college, then it was russia and they'll probably move on to something else. we have serious challenges, cyber security challenges in the united states, and i think we've had intelligence failure after intelligence failure since 9/11. i mean we obviously messed up benghazi. we didn't really foresee the militarization of space that china is doing. we really didn't see what was coming in north korea. we missed the overrun at the border and what could be the implication of that. there's a lot of things we're missing, and on top of it we're not really ahead of the curve when it comes to hacking into government systems which has been going on for years and years, personnel files

we first met laura this past summer. whipping up funds to send local vets to the world war ii memorial. >> the more business i do, the more money i give back. >> since then she's raised another $300,000. bringing her total haul to $2 million. on this night, a benefit for 11-year-old david roberts, a sixth grader battling rnd debilitating nerve pain with no cure. >> don't cry. don't start. >> why she do it? because she was helped. struggling with abuse and alcoholism her whole life. whole life. >> i wasn't supposed to make it. anybody that knew better knew i was headed for disaster. >> then she discovered her mission was to help others. >> the people that i'm helping now helped me. that's the cycle of life. that's what we have to keep going like this. >> any time there's a benefit we try to make an end and help the community just like she did for us. >> everybody is welcome here. everybody. everybody. >> you're going to do amazing. >> by night's end, david and his mom skype with customers and more than $10,000 is in the k

. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. to give you a look at what's going on, that radar shows it as well. >> really heavy, especially compared to when it initially moved in. this is more of a quick, heavy rainfall. there will be breaks in between allowing for some of the rain to soak into the ground. still the potential of flooding as it quickly moves through. that will be a couple of batches. if you try to make plans, there will be a few more breaks early afternoon. gusts might reach 25 to 35 miles an hour. rainfall totals up to an inch in some spots. maybe a little more where some of the heavy rainfall moves over the same spot over and over again. lightning will be possible this afternoon. by early tomorrow morning, there could be snow on mt. hamilton and the summit at highway 17. i'll talk about this and a look ahead to the holiday weekend coming up. as the rain moves in, crashes reported. >> we can track it on the chp report. despite the light volume of traffic, we do have the conditions. all the blue moving over the

brian todd is here, our legal analyst laura coates is here as well. >> reporter: they have declared a short recess, sent the jurors back into their deliberation room, but declared a short recess in the case for the moment. he could be just sorting this out and may come back with a decision on whether a mistrial should be declared within the next few minutes. he may extent this maybe a big more this late afternoon, early evening. this is a dramatic day in the court in the trial of the officer michael slager. this trial has been going on, wolf, for now five weeks, a fairly dramatic day in court. the jury did ask for testimony from the witness who shot the cell phone video that you're looking at here. a few minutes later they passed the judge another note. it appears that it is one juror who has been the holdout. he sent the judge a note saying he could not in good conscience conviction officer michael slager in this case. we have heard that the judge has declared a short recess. he's not yet decided whether to declare a mistrial. the defense has asked for a mistrial. again, of course as

there was nothing new here, laura. we know that. we know that the director of national intelligence, fbi disagree and on top of that we know that the cia has played politics in the past. benghazi, great example. they never talked to the people on the ground. they went ahead and supported hillary's lie. >> it's almost like the intelligence community wants everyone to forget its black spots over the last several years, the things that they missed about chinese space military zags, the threat at the border, benghazi is a big one and many more. it's almost like the shiny object of trump is over here so no one will focus on the deficiencies that obviously exist. and women in the intelligence agent sigs. but this smacks of bitterness and sour grapes. the fact of the matter is there is absolutely no proof that this changed the outcome of the election. i know the fox news poll showed it's 59% of the responders don't think it had any impact. the idea that the voters were obsessed with russia getting into dnc e-mails. the question is the impo

>>laura: trevor dooley is out on bond. he was convicted of killing his neighbor, david james, during an argument on a basketball court in 2010. dooley claims there were errors made during jury instructions and says his defense attorney was ineffective. dooley is limited to travelling his new attorney. >>russell: an armed man holding a dozen people hostage at a jacksonville credit union. >>jennifer: it's all over now and the man in custody is from tampa. this was the scene before the swat team stormed the building. a man walked in with a dog, fired his gun and order everybody into a back room. as officers swarmed the scene, investigators say the robber threatened to kill the hostages. at one point they say he even put a gun to the back of one hostage's head. around that time, two people who had been run for it. swat team member made their move. and they arrested 23-year-old nicholas humphrey of tampa. he's charged with one count of armed robbery and 13 counts of kidnapping. sheriff's office arrested him in february on a dom

i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. this is a heart wrenching story we have been covering 48 hours straight. with every passing hour, new stories of survival are emerging. the death toll remains a staggering figure of 33 lives. >> that number sadly still expected to rise. we have new video of a coroner ivan leaving the scene overnight as recovery efforts are on hold because of the danger of falling walls. officials just told us this morning they only searched 40% of the building so far. >> team coverage to get you up to speed with all the latest developments over night, what we know about the victims to the investigation how this tragedy started. pete is live at the scene with a break down of what we know so far. we heard varying reports about what percentage of that building is actually searched. good morning. >> good morning. last time we were told by fire officials it's at 40% they've been able to search. there's been a work stoppage as of 10:00 p.m. last night. issues with some of the warehouse a safety issue for fi

thank god he is okay" laura jefferson is talking about her 32-year-old son who was at home when 4-masked gunmen forced him into their house on cimarron drive in vallejo tuesday night "he got out of his car with the garage door still open and that's when they got him, came up to him with a gun and told him don't move" for the next 20-plus minutes the thieves ransacked their home "my computer is over there, that's the safe, they pried the safe open" "what do you think they were looking for?" "money" but there was no money to be found, so then the maked gunmen asked for something else the jeffersons didn't have "well they kept asking about a charger that is often parked in front of our house" however neither laura nor her son own that vehicle so she says the gunmen made her son take them across the street to their neighbor's house. i went there too and the owner told me he heard some loud noises at the front door. then someone shattered this front window. her neighbor told me the men took off after he turned on his house alarm. so why did the home invasion robbers shift their attention away

let's bring in our panel, steve haze, laura ingram and charles lane. start with the nomination of pruitt as epa administrator. he says the debate over climate change is far from settled. he is part of several lawsuits against epa regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. your thoughts about this nomination? >> it's going to drive the left absolutely crazy, which it has started to do. i think they're going to fight this as hard as they fight anything the trump administration puts forward. it goes to the heart of their argument that the planet is warming, cut greenhouse gas emissions, we will save the planet, the oceans won't rise, we won't have destruction along the coastline. i understand that. but it's like the church of global warming has also in the eyes of many completely subsumed the idea that business still has to exist. there has to be a balance between protecting the environment and having business be able to operate. not unfettered but with some degree of freedom. does it surprise me that trump picked him? absolutely not. they're going to have

my concern is -- laura raised this. it's well-known. does the american public have the stomach, have the appetite for the introduction of military force into syria, which would lead to ground troops? do we want to go through that again? this is a terrible, terrible tragedy that's going to be put on donald trump's desk at noon on january 20th. i don't know which will he will go. last tiec the last time he spoke about this, he did not see an appetite for ground troops. >> that is wrong alternative. people talk about two alternatives. the passivity of obama, which ended today with aleppo. or invasion. when the red line was crossed, we were in a position, the french were going to help us of purely an tack from the air or by cruise missile to out the assad air force and disable the air fields. that's not invasion. that would mean you can't drop the barrel bombs. when the russians started to maneuver, we didn't have to invade. the job of a super power is to deter the other superpower. there was russians had to pay at any stage. that was a rol

laura, a tweet can mean many things. what has his transition team made of it, and they have been able to satisfactorily explain what he might have meant? reporter: the problem with tweaking policy in 140 characters or less is that it is difficult to paraphrase. the statement said president-elect trump was referring to the threat of nuclear proliferation and the critical need to prevent it. they said he was talking about terrorist organizations and unstable regimes. but he does not name them in the statement, which means we are left to guess, who are these rogue regimes? when it comes to terrorist organizations in previous interviews in the run-up to the election, donald trump did not roll out using weapons of mass destruction against a so-called islamic state, for instance. he said it was important to be unpredictable. but what does it mean when he finally takes power? when it comes to what he could actually do as president, there is already a trillion dollar package going through to revamp america's aging nuclear progra

laura bush was as mrs. obama just said, incredibly gracious to her. and she is going to be equally gracious to melania trump. that's who she is. a lot of that angry black woman, couldn't have been further from the truth. she is one of the most gracious and humorous, fun to be with people there is, but so is laura bush, something most people don't know about her. >> she was with me, if i needed her for my entire eight years. >> that was really true. >> cokie roberts, thank you so much. just in, we have more electoral votes coming in, including florida, all 29 votes went to trump so the current tally, 211 for trump and 115 for clinton. getting closer to the 270. we'll continue to watch that. coming up next, we're learning a truck has plowed into a christmas market in berlin. very latest on that when we come back. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me th

laura, the images out of syria are painful. orphans pleading for their lives. >> someone who visited a lot of orphan anl ages and seeing the children, i think charles is right. it will go down as without a doubt i think one of the biggest humanitarian crises, war crimes obviously committed in syria. the narrative on -- you can read on facebook and videos released of mothers who are asking priests if they can kill their children so they don't have to see them tortured. we have to remember years ago when i think the public polling came out on this, remember, there was no public support for going into syria. we also all have to remember that. obama was seeing the polls. it's hard because after iraq, the nation was incredible weary. we lost thousands of men, more than a trillion dollars. the public just -- what are we going to gain here? that was the sentiment. but this is the outcome of what's happening. >> how much of this and the situation we're in with syria was about the obama administration and the president concerned about t

laura ingraham is with us. coming up later. >> our source is not the russian government. >> in other words let me be clear, russia did not give you the podesta documents or anything from the dnc? >> that's correct. >> earlier today i interviewed wikileaks founder julian assange. we spoke out, and he spoke out about russian hacking and the reports and much more. we have highlights of that interview, and we'll get reaction from "the fives" kimberly guilfoyle and eric bolling as this busy news night continues on "hannity." ♪ bolling as this generosity is its own form of power. you can handle being a mom for half an hour. i'm in all the way. is that understood? i don't know what she's up to, but it's not good. can't the world be my noodles and butter? get your mind out of the gutter. mornings are for coffee and contemplation. that was a really profound observation. you got a mean case of the detox blues. don't start a war you know you're going to lose. finally you can now find all of netflix in the same place as

let's bring in our panel, steve haze, laura ingram and charles lane. start with the nomination of pruitt as epa administrator. he says the debate over climate change is far from settled. he is part of several lawsuits against epa regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. your thoughts about this nomination? >> it's going to drive the left absolutely crazy, which it has started to do. i think they're going to fight this as hard as they fight anything the trump administration puts forward. it goes to the heart of their argument that the planet is warming, cut greenhouse gas emissions, we will save the planet, the oceans won't rise, we won't have destruction along the coastline. i understand that. but it's like the church of global warming has also in the eyes of many completely subsumed the idea that business still has to exist. there has to be a balance between protecting the environment and having business be able to operate. not unfettered but with some degree of freedom. does it surprise me that trump picked him? absolutely not. they're going to have
