>> reporter: hey, sara. so far the early reading on holiday shopping is solid so far, so mastercard spending pulse says total holiday retail extending ex-autos and gas is up 4%. that is the high end of many forecasts. for the same period total holiday e-commerce spending is up 19%. the big winner's, men's apparel, furniture and furnishings. jewelry turning in negative growth. it isn't over with just five shopping days left for 2016. retailers are trying to capitalize on consumers' leftover appetite to spend. so after christmas sales began yesterday both online and in store. macy's and other department stores are offering big discounts. the big push is to get people into stores to redeem gift cards and/or bring in returns, since consumers tend to like to spend more once they are there. now, the national retail federation's annual holiday survey indicated consumers would spend about $27.5 billion on gift cards this holiday. that's down from the 2014 peak, but still roughly about a third of the annual gift card

with rick williams, sara bloomquist, and meteorologist, david murphy. good afternoon rick is off. several passengers are hurt when an airplane goes off the runway. and fighting leads to chaos at 15 different shopping malls across the country. >>> but the panel of destruction from an out of control truck. it burst into flames at a gas station narrowly missing the pumps. annie mccormick is live. >> reporter: we are outside of the accident scene. the cleanup is going on for hours. chopper 6 hd is overhead. like we said it's hours since they are working to get the food off the trailer, to people are injured but are in stable condition. and the intersection is shut down and the crews have responded. cell phone video captured the flames that engulfed this tractor trailer after it crashed into this gas station at levic. and 15 firefighters and more than a dozen emergency vehicles responded at 6:30 this morning. >> it was a bunch of explosions at 3:00 or 4:00. >> got on location, and saw there was a two vehicle accident with the truck fully involved fire shooting 15 feet up into the air.

what's happening is disgrace ful. >> sara, where do you see this going? >> we'll have to wait and see. he has backtracked on this previously. certainly that statement implied that he may go forward with that policy. one of the things that we know from donald trump, which he said directly in his very first foreign policy speech, was that the united states was too predictable. what we've seen from him, whether it's taking the call from the south korean leader to these tweets today to perhaps this ban on muslims which he's talked about during the campaign, is that he is reacting to his own comments which is that the united states is too predictable, and he has been very unpredictable as it relates to foreign policy. whether that puts people off, throws them off their game, makes the united states have more negotiating power in these transactions around the world, i think remains to be seen, but he is true to his word so far. >> sara, jennifer, careen, stick around, we'll be talking in a bit. >>> up next, what's next for north carolina's bathroom bill? we'll

>> i don't think it does, sara. you know, the important thing is retail spending is about two things, the willingness to spend, which is confidence, but also the ability to spend, which is how much money people have in their pockets. a cfo of a major foot retailer told me you can't spend confidence. i don't think that's why we're seeing retail sales jump as much as maybe people were hoping for. now, the last week was probably good but doesn't make up for all of december which was generally a little bit soft. you know, we get some great consumer survey data from a company called prospects analyti analytics, what they showed in most recent december survey people are feeling more confident, less stressed about politics, but when they're asked about their spending plans, they haven't changed. so i think overall it's a combination of both, and confidence enough isn't really enough to drive a big change in the spending. >> you mentioned the means. i mean, we've seen an improvement, a pretty remarkable improvement in terms
