Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.000 --> 00:10.520] This is World News, and tonight the Fire Fears Mountain, California, an arsonist on the loose, [00:10.520 --> 00:15.720] more than 3 dozen fires, cars, apartment buildings going up in flames, tonight the profile [00:15.720 --> 00:17.920] investigators are piecing together. [00:17.920 --> 00:22.600] Under arrest and army soldier charged authority say he was about to carry explosives onto [00:22.600 --> 00:25.720] a plane, his family with him. [00:25.720 --> 00:29.440] Stormboarding, the first major winter storm of the new year on the move tonight, deadly [00:29.440 --> 00:34.520] winds in Colorado, and now plummeting temperatures across a huge part of this country. [00:34.520 --> 00:38.880] The most potent pain killer yet, the raging debate tonight over a new drug, it's supposed [00:38.880 --> 00:43.640] to erase extreme pain, but could it do more harm than good? [00:43.640 --> 00:47.920] And the behind-the-scenes images we didn't see this past year that moment at the new memorial [00:47.920 --> 00:53.480] two presidents, two first ladies, the president is Coach and Chief, and nice ride tonight [00:53.480 --> 00:59.120] we learn just where Beau was heading. [00:59.120 --> 01:05.600] From ABC News, this is ABC World News with David Newer. [01:05.600 --> 01:08.960] Good evening, it's great to start another year with you, and we begin here tonight with [01:08.960 --> 01:11.000] those growing firefears out west. [01:11.000 --> 01:16.000] The images coming in all weekend long after a major rash of fires, more than three dozen [01:16.000 --> 01:20.560] set over three nights in several Los Angeles neighborhoods, and so far authority say they [01:20.560 --> 01:22.320] don't know who's behind it all. [01:22.320 --> 01:26.800] But look at the pictures tonight, this firefighter here battling a fully engulfed car, [01:26.800 --> 01:30.240] and then this image, like so many others, once the cars are set on fire, the buildings [01:30.240 --> 01:34.800] beside them, going up in flames, leaving apartments like this one, a burned-out shell. [01:34.800 --> 01:37.440] You can see the family they're sifting through what's left. [01:37.440 --> 01:41.600] Tonight, the latest from investigators, as they try to put together a profile, here's ABC's [01:41.600 --> 01:42.600] Abby Boudreau. [01:42.600 --> 01:49.600] Police tonight announcing a possible break in the case, surveillance video of a person of interest [01:49.600 --> 01:54.880] as investigators searched for the serial arsonist responsible for a string of fires set [01:54.880 --> 01:56.440] throughout Hollywood. [01:56.440 --> 02:01.040] The actual funeral lasts 72 hours here in these communities of kept these public safety [02:01.040 --> 02:02.320] professionals up at night. [02:02.320 --> 02:06.840] It's being called the worst wave of arson in 20 years in LA. [02:06.840 --> 02:09.360] Fortunately, no one has been injured. [02:09.360 --> 02:14.120] I could have died with my children, even as firefighters and police officers doubled [02:14.120 --> 02:16.880] and tripled their manpower throughout the city. [02:16.880 --> 02:22.840] The increased surveillance was not enough to stop a serial arsonist from striking again. [02:22.840 --> 02:25.080] Seven more fires. [02:25.080 --> 02:29.840] Investigators say most of the fires began as car fires, but the flames quickly spread [02:29.840 --> 02:35.960] to nearby structures and apartment buildings. [02:35.960 --> 02:40.840] Arson investigators are searching for clues and also building a psychological profile [02:40.840 --> 02:41.840] of the arsonist. [02:41.840 --> 02:47.840] They do it for recognition or fame, and oftentimes we see that they do it out of spite [02:47.840 --> 02:49.240] at an anger. [02:49.240 --> 02:53.960] Experts say many serial arsonists, after long, they're typically white males with below [02:53.960 --> 02:54.960] average IQs. [02:54.960 --> 02:59.880] It would appear that the primary motive may not be killing people. [02:59.880 --> 03:02.240] The primary motive may be attention. [03:02.240 --> 03:08.920] And until investigators solved this case, it looks like another restless night for firefighters. [03:08.920 --> 03:13.480] Experts say that many serial arsonists find pleasure in coming back to the scene of the [03:13.480 --> 03:17.760] fire, so they can watch as firefighters try to battle the blades. [03:17.760 --> 03:22.680] They're asking anyone who sees anything suspicious to contact them right away. [03:22.680 --> 03:23.680] David? [03:23.680 --> 03:24.680] Abby Boudreau tonight, Abby. [03:24.680 --> 03:25.680] Thank you. [03:25.680 --> 03:29.080] And in Texas this evening, growing questions about the intentions of an American soldier [03:29.080 --> 03:32.320] arrested, while preparing to board a flight with his family. [03:32.320 --> 03:35.520] Authorities say he had explosives in his carry-on bag. [03:35.520 --> 03:38.200] Here's ABC Cecilia Vega tonight. [03:38.200 --> 03:42.680] The man accused of trying to board a new year's Eve flight with explosives in his carry-on [03:42.680 --> 03:45.440] hardly fits the profile of a terrorist. [03:45.440 --> 03:50.960] The suspect, Tray Scott at Water, a 30-year-old soldier traveling with his family, headed [03:50.960 --> 03:56.240] back to his North Carolina military base after visiting relatives in Texas. [03:56.240 --> 04:01.280] It was during an X-ray screening at the Midland International Airport that a TSA agent spotted [04:01.280 --> 04:03.520] the bag and the suspicious item. [04:03.520 --> 04:09.440] The kind of explosives used by the military for demolitions like this. [04:09.440 --> 04:13.800] This was at Water's return flight, raising questions about whether he managed to fly [04:13.800 --> 04:18.760] with the C4 explosives during the first leg of his trip, and what exactly he planned [04:18.760 --> 04:19.760] to do with them. [04:19.760 --> 04:23.640] But there's no indication at this point that there was, he wasn't wanted to do anything [04:23.640 --> 04:24.640] malicious. [04:24.640 --> 04:26.640] I mean, it's in his carry-on bag. [04:26.640 --> 04:29.440] Inlisi had some sort of detonator. [04:29.440 --> 04:33.720] And authorities say there was no detonator and therefore no threat to passengers. [04:33.720 --> 04:38.040] And the enforcement sources tell us this looks more like a dumb move than an act of terror [04:38.040 --> 04:42.600] at Water is now facing federal charges for trying to bring explosives on an airplane. [04:42.600 --> 04:43.600] David? [04:43.600 --> 04:44.600] Thank you. [04:44.600 --> 04:45.600] Thank you. [04:45.600 --> 04:49.520] And now to politics, your voice, your vote in just two days until the Iowa caucuses [04:49.520 --> 04:53.000] is now casting the first votes of this presidential election year. [04:53.000 --> 04:57.160] And a new poll tonight of likely Republican voter showing a tightening race, Mitt Romney [04:57.160 --> 05:02.160] and Ron Paul on top, Rick Santorum in third place and surging with Newt Gingridge and [05:02.160 --> 05:03.560] the other candidates trailing. [05:03.560 --> 05:07.360] ABC's Jonathan Carl spent the weekend face-to-face with the candidates and here's what [05:07.360 --> 05:09.360] they're saying on the eve of Iowa. [05:09.360 --> 05:10.640] Here's John now from Duboyne. [05:10.640 --> 05:18.000] Here's the candidate Iowa is putting on the map, former Senator Rick Santorum campaigning [05:18.000 --> 05:19.640] today in Iowa City. [05:19.640 --> 05:21.960] This is your chance, Heartland. [05:21.960 --> 05:24.760] This is your chance, Heartland of America to speak out. [05:24.760 --> 05:30.320] Tell recently Santorum was ignored by his opponents and virtually invisible in the polls. [05:30.320 --> 05:36.600] Now nobody is rising faster within striking distance of winning the Iowa caucuses. [05:36.600 --> 05:41.160] He's done it the old fashioned way, spending more time traveling around the state and talking [05:41.160 --> 05:43.480] to voters than anybody else. [05:43.480 --> 05:45.840] We met up with him in Marshalltown, Iowa. [05:45.840 --> 05:49.120] I'm very confident we're going to do well in surprise, a lot of people. [05:49.120 --> 05:54.040] Santorum has been helped by the collapse of Newt Gingridge, who spent the last week complaining [05:54.040 --> 05:57.840] about negative ads, as he has been hit hard here. [05:57.840 --> 06:00.400] He has more baggage than the airlines. [06:00.400 --> 06:05.360] Day Gingridge flashed out at Mitt Romney accusing him of trying to buy the election. [06:05.360 --> 06:11.840] Well, I don't have $3 million in negative ads, you tell me. [06:11.840 --> 06:20.880] Later, Gingridge point blank accused Romney of lying in his negative ads. [06:20.880 --> 06:26.080] Romney riding high in the polls state above the fray today, as he campaigned in Atlantic [06:26.080 --> 06:27.080] Iowa. [06:27.080 --> 06:30.280] I want to restore the principles that made America great and Iowa doing. [06:30.280 --> 06:35.280] She'll Bachman, who was born in Iowa and won the big straw poll here in August. [06:35.280 --> 06:39.760] Iowa in the White House is now languishing at the back of the pack. [06:39.760 --> 06:43.080] She told us she expects some divine help on Tuesday. [06:43.080 --> 06:47.240] I'm believing in America because we know I know the one who gives America. [06:47.240 --> 06:49.600] If you don't come in for a second or third, can you continue? [06:49.600 --> 06:55.320] I am going to be the next president of the United States. [06:55.320 --> 06:58.900] Newt Gingridge has tried to make a virtue of the fact that he hasn't run any negative [06:58.900 --> 07:04.500] ads here in Iowa, but he has made it clear that all bets are off after the Iowa caucuses. [07:04.500 --> 07:09.660] You can expect to see a feisty or a Gingridge, not afraid to savage his opponents, especially [07:09.660 --> 07:10.660] Mitt Romney. [07:10.660 --> 07:11.660] David. [07:11.660 --> 07:12.660] John Carlton, Iwajon, thanks. [07:12.660 --> 07:14.300] We'll see you in Iowa tomorrow. [07:14.300 --> 07:17.260] In the meantime, I want to bring an ABC News political analyst Matthew Dab with us [07:17.260 --> 07:18.260] here in New York tonight. [07:18.260 --> 07:19.860] Matthew, always great to have you. [07:19.860 --> 07:23.620] And you were telling me earlier what we also be watching for in Iowa, which is not necessarily [07:23.620 --> 07:27.660] the winner to be chosen for the nomination, but for the field to be winnowed down. [07:27.660 --> 07:30.860] Yeah, we're about to get to the voting, months we've been waiting for this, and the voting [07:30.860 --> 07:33.140] in Iowa usually doesn't pick the nominee. [07:33.140 --> 07:34.580] It picks who the nominee isn't. [07:34.580 --> 07:38.980] And so if you go back and look at history as recently as 2008, my Cuckabee wins a surprising [07:38.980 --> 07:41.860] victory in Iowa and is not the Republican nominee. [07:41.860 --> 07:44.220] John McCain becomes the Republican nominee. [07:44.220 --> 07:45.460] That has happened over and over. [07:45.460 --> 07:49.700] Iowa performs a very good function, which is it winnows the field down from multiple candidates [07:49.700 --> 07:50.980] to a smaller number of candidates. [07:50.980 --> 07:53.980] So when you look at this image tonight at the debate, we pulled it up the last ABC News [07:53.980 --> 07:54.980] debate. [07:54.980 --> 07:57.540] You predict that the next ABC News debate, less than a week from now. [07:57.540 --> 07:58.980] We might not see all the same people standing there. [07:58.980 --> 08:02.060] It'll be a less crowded stage, and when we show up in New Hampshire, it'll be a much [08:02.060 --> 08:04.940] less crowded stage, and one or two of those candidates probably won't be there. [08:04.940 --> 08:08.460] Now, the White House surely we watch in Iowa, whether they say they are or not. [08:08.460 --> 08:12.220] And what is their strategy at this point, their possible path of victory, given the field [08:12.220 --> 08:13.220] as it stands? [08:13.220 --> 08:16.700] If they're an incredibly vulnerable environment, the president's job approval isn't very [08:16.700 --> 08:20.780] high, the robbing direction of the country is high, and consumer confidence is low. [08:20.780 --> 08:23.580] And so they know that this race shouldn't be about them. [08:23.580 --> 08:26.060] They wanted to be about whoever the Republican nominee is. [08:26.060 --> 08:30.420] If it's Mitt Romney, they want him to be a merge, beaten up, so far he hasn't. [08:30.420 --> 08:33.260] But as soon as this thing is over, they're going to start their campaign in earnest. [08:33.260 --> 08:35.500] All right, Matthew Downson, I'd Matthew, thank you. [08:35.500 --> 08:39.700] And Matt will be here Tuesday night with Diane and George, following the caucus results. [08:39.700 --> 08:43.820] And it's hard to believe, but we're now just six days away from the next ABC News debate [08:43.820 --> 08:45.420] just before the New Hampshire primary. [08:45.420 --> 08:50.140] Diane, so your George Stephanopoulos moderating will all be there in New Hampshire next Saturday [08:50.140 --> 08:51.140] night. [08:51.140 --> 08:54.860] The Republican candidates have been critical of the White House when it comes to foreign policy, [08:54.860 --> 08:58.540] and there are a lot of eyes on Iran tonight after they claim this weekend to have made [08:58.540 --> 09:02.380] huge inroads, and they're longstanding warning to build their nuclear muscle. [09:02.380 --> 09:06.700] Tonight, ABC's Kelly Kobayah on what happened today, and why every day Americans could [09:06.700 --> 09:10.420] pay the price for it at the pump. [09:10.420 --> 09:15.620] Iran flexed its military muscle today, test firing a missile in the straight of Hormuz. [09:15.620 --> 09:20.460] 20% of the world's oil exports travel through here, and Iran has threatened to block [09:20.460 --> 09:23.580] these waters if it's hit with more sanctions. [09:23.580 --> 09:25.820] That could force up gas prices. [09:25.820 --> 09:30.820] Even more worrying, Iran says it is one step closer to becoming a nuclear nation, claiming [09:30.820 --> 09:35.820] today it tested its first Iranian-made nuclear fuel rod. [09:35.820 --> 09:39.420] Technology, no country has been allowed to sell to Iran. [09:39.420 --> 09:41.260] So why is that important? [09:41.260 --> 09:46.060] The U.S. and its allies believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, but it lacked [09:46.060 --> 09:49.180] the know-how to make the fuel rods on its own. [09:49.180 --> 09:53.740] The fear is that Iran's nuclear program is now farther along than expected, meaning [09:53.740 --> 09:57.100] a showdown over it may be closer than many thought. [09:57.100 --> 09:59.420] Iran denies it has a weapons program. [09:59.420 --> 10:02.260] Still, President Obama is ratcheting up the pressure. [10:02.260 --> 10:07.020] He signed a bill this weekend to put the economic squeeze on Iran if the nuclear program [10:07.020 --> 10:09.580] is not shut down in six months. [10:09.580 --> 10:10.580] David. [10:10.580 --> 10:11.940] Kelly Kobayah, here tonight, Kelly. [10:11.940 --> 10:12.940] Thank you. [10:12.940 --> 10:16.580] Back in this country, and a major winter weather on the move tonight, first the deadly winds [10:16.580 --> 10:20.980] across Colorado, they reach over a hundred miles per hour, roaring through the Rockies, [10:20.980 --> 10:25.100] killing at least one man in entering several others, cars and homes were damaged. [10:25.100 --> 10:28.460] And now will winter storm is hitting parts of the upper Midwest with more than a foot [10:28.460 --> 10:30.860] of snow and bitterly cold temperatures. [10:30.860 --> 10:34.140] And so we want to bring in meteorologist Jeff Smith of our station here in New York, WAVC [10:34.140 --> 10:35.700] and Jeff, what are we looking at? [10:35.700 --> 10:39.740] The coldest air mass David since last winter, since last February is going to be moving [10:39.740 --> 10:42.700] through the eastern half of the country, starting tomorrow, really. [10:42.700 --> 10:45.700] It's moving across the parts of the upper Midwest right now if we take a look at that [10:45.700 --> 10:47.900] map, the Arctic blast moves off to the south. [10:47.900 --> 10:52.740] We have highs in the teens and twenties over the Ohio Valley from tomorrow right through [10:52.740 --> 10:53.740] Tuesday. [10:53.740 --> 10:55.540] And that reaches the east coast on Tuesday. [10:55.540 --> 10:57.820] And a lot of snow with this, what kind of totals are we looking at? [10:57.820 --> 11:00.980] Yes, the cold air moves across the warmer Great Lakes, we're looking at snowfall totals [11:00.980 --> 11:06.180] of potentially over a foot downwind of the lakes, parts of Lower Michigan, which had the [11:06.180 --> 11:10.220] least snowy December that they've had on record might be getting snowfall totals over [11:10.220 --> 11:12.180] foot with blizzard conditions in that area. [11:12.180 --> 11:13.180] All right. [11:13.180 --> 11:14.180] It's just beginning Jeff Smith. [11:14.180 --> 11:18.540] Thank you, a new year and tonight new laws for more states joining the growing crackdown [11:18.540 --> 11:24.060] on illegal immigration, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee now requiring employers [11:24.060 --> 11:27.100] to verify the legal status of people they hire. [11:27.100 --> 11:31.100] Workers in eight states are getting a raise as their states minimum wage goes up. [11:31.100 --> 11:34.900] And tonight we take a closer look here at one new law in California that might have some [11:34.900 --> 11:39.100] parents wrestling to get their eight year olds back into their car seats. [11:39.100 --> 11:42.100] Here's ABC's Clayton Sandell now. [11:42.100 --> 11:46.580] But LA's Griffith Park, you could ride the big ponies if you're seven years old. [11:46.580 --> 11:50.940] But starting today, in a car, you'll be back in a booster seat. [11:50.940 --> 11:52.900] I can't believe it. [11:52.900 --> 11:57.380] California, which has more drivers than any other state, is raising the car seat cut off [11:57.380 --> 12:04.020] age from six to eight, creating crisis in millions of families with six and seven year [12:04.020 --> 12:07.220] old to thought they'd left their car seat days behind. [12:07.220 --> 12:11.020] Brenda Salazar got rid of her twins car seats when they turned six. [12:11.020 --> 12:15.460] I sold them in the yard, so and it's time to go buy some. [12:15.460 --> 12:19.420] Most parents understand it's all about safety. [12:19.420 --> 12:23.060] Ben here is helping us demonstrate that even though he's six, this seat belt is the [12:23.060 --> 12:24.060] wrong fit. [12:24.060 --> 12:27.900] It comes right across his neck and right across the soft parts of his belly. [12:27.900 --> 12:32.060] The booster lifts him up, putting the belt where it should be across the bony parts [12:32.060 --> 12:33.740] of his chest and hips. [12:33.740 --> 12:38.460] The Golden State helps drive trends in auto safety and this new law might help ramp up [12:38.460 --> 12:41.220] pressure for a nationwide car seat standard. [12:41.220 --> 12:45.900] We need to have a federal standard because when parents go to buy a booster seat, [12:45.900 --> 12:51.460] there's no guarantee that that booster seat is going to provide good belt fit in all kinds [12:51.460 --> 12:53.100] of different vehicles. [12:53.100 --> 12:58.220] In our completely unscientific kid poll, we found two thirds against the new law. [12:58.220 --> 13:00.500] But there's an incentive to enforce it. [13:00.500 --> 13:05.380] Break the law and mom or dad get a $475 ticket. [13:05.380 --> 13:07.860] Clayton Sandel ABC News Los Angeles. [13:07.860 --> 13:11.420] Our thanks to Clayton tonight and on this New Year's weekend, we got a new glimpse from [13:11.420 --> 13:15.220] inside the White House from the photographers who were there every moment this past year [13:15.220 --> 13:18.740] and tonight, some of what we didn't see. [13:18.740 --> 13:23.180] Ground zero on the 10th anniversary of 911, former President George W. Bush, former [13:23.180 --> 13:27.660] First Lady Laura Bush, with President Obama and the First Lady as they greet families of [13:27.660 --> 13:28.820] the victims. [13:28.820 --> 13:32.420] And there was this, the President about to present a wounded warrior with a purple heart [13:32.420 --> 13:36.020] walking into a hospital room at Walter Reed, wearing scrubs. [13:36.020 --> 13:39.980] This photograph taken high above the oval office of the Rose Garden, a state dinner for [13:39.980 --> 13:41.780] the German Chancellor. [13:41.780 --> 13:45.860] The funeral for former First Lady Betty Ford, there for the service, three former First [13:45.860 --> 13:51.500] ladies, Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, Rosalind Carter, joining First Lady Michelle Obama. [13:51.500 --> 13:54.900] The President and First Lady bidding farewell to the Queen in Prince Philip, following [13:54.900 --> 13:59.060] a dinner in London to honor the Queen, and there was this smile, the President filling [13:59.060 --> 14:02.220] in his basketball coach for his daughter Sasha. [14:02.220 --> 14:06.300] And as this nation prepares for a tuffly fought presidential race, we noted the children [14:06.300 --> 14:10.860] in this picture behind the president, their video games far more pressing. [14:10.860 --> 14:15.540] And bow, with the view from inside the presidential motorcade, in root, to pet smart we're [14:15.540 --> 14:18.420] told to get his Christmas gift. [14:18.420 --> 14:22.140] The view from the White House still ahead here on World News this Sunday night, the debate [14:22.140 --> 14:27.380] this evening, over a brand new drug, some say it's the strongest pain relief ever made, but [14:27.380 --> 14:28.980] will it do more harm than good? [14:28.980 --> 14:33.740] Also tonight, a royal rebound, what we saw today from Prince Philip, and we know there's [14:33.740 --> 14:37.340] a million ways to say happy New Year, and so tonight, so many of you sent us messages [14:37.340 --> 14:42.500] on Facebook and online the New Year in your three words. [14:42.500 --> 14:55.700] This is ABC World News with David Meore, brought to you by Progressive.

[15:00.220 --> 15:03.020] Do you want to answer the hundreds that I say with Progressive on my car insurance? [15:03.020 --> 15:04.020] This tree is on me. [15:04.020 --> 15:05.020] No way. [15:05.020 --> 15:07.020] The way, this tree is on me. [15:07.020 --> 15:08.020] Really? [15:08.020 --> 15:09.020] Yes. [15:09.020 --> 15:10.020] Thank you. [15:10.020 --> 15:13.460] Just trim it up a little before you. [15:13.460 --> 15:14.460] Thank you. [15:14.460 --> 15:15.460] Savings greetings. [15:15.460 --> 15:16.460] You guys are going to get this tree right here? [15:16.460 --> 15:19.140] I'll tie it to the root for you. [15:19.140 --> 15:23.860] Make savings a new holiday tradition. [15:23.860 --> 15:25.860] Is this your normal? [15:25.860 --> 15:26.860] Jamie Lee Curtis. [15:26.860 --> 15:27.860] Oh, hi. [15:27.860 --> 15:28.860] Yes. [15:28.860 --> 15:29.860] Wow. [15:29.860 --> 15:30.860] You really went all out on the decorations, huh? [15:30.860 --> 15:31.860] Yeah. [15:31.860 --> 15:32.860] I'm so slow. [15:32.860 --> 15:35.860] Taking him down after all the fatty holiday food. [15:35.860 --> 15:36.860] That's normal. [15:36.860 --> 15:37.860] What do you mean that's normal? [15:37.860 --> 15:39.860] It doesn't have to be. [15:39.860 --> 15:41.860] To me, normal means feeling good inside. [15:41.860 --> 15:42.860] Not slow. [15:42.860 --> 15:43.860] Try some activity. [15:43.860 --> 15:46.860] Activia helps with occasionally regularity when eating three times a day. [15:46.860 --> 15:48.860] Keep a video diary. [15:48.860 --> 15:51.860] And let me know about your new normal. [15:51.860 --> 15:53.860] It's free. [15:53.860 --> 15:54.860] By side is congested. [15:54.860 --> 15:56.860] That it's your fault. [15:56.860 --> 15:59.860] Instead of blaming me, try Advil Congestion Relief. [15:59.860 --> 16:01.860] Often the real problem is swelling, not mucous. [16:01.860 --> 16:05.860] Advil Congestion Relief reduces swelling due to nasal inflammation. [16:05.860 --> 16:06.860] So I could breathe. [16:06.860 --> 16:08.860] Advil Congestion Relief. [16:08.860 --> 16:10.860] Cut that job up. [16:10.860 --> 16:12.860] Down that dog. [16:12.860 --> 16:14.860] No matter what life throws at you, [16:14.860 --> 16:19.860] you can take the heat until it turns into heartburn. [16:19.860 --> 16:22.860] Good thing you've got what it takes to beat that heat too. [16:22.860 --> 16:23.860] Zantak. [16:23.860 --> 16:24.860] It's strong. [16:24.860 --> 16:26.860] Just one pill can knock out the burn. [16:26.860 --> 16:27.860] It's fast. [16:27.860 --> 16:29.860] This beat you need for heartburn relief. [16:29.860 --> 16:31.860] And it lasts up to 12 hours. [16:31.860 --> 16:33.860] So let them turn up the heat. [16:33.860 --> 16:35.860] You can stop that heartburn cold. [16:35.860 --> 16:36.860] Zantak. [16:36.860 --> 16:38.860] Beat that heartburn heat. [16:38.860 --> 16:40.860] From the soups you know and love. [16:40.860 --> 16:42.860] Come soups they'll love get it to know. [16:42.860 --> 16:45.860] New slow cattle style soups from campus. [16:45.860 --> 16:48.860] It's amazing what soup can do. [16:48.860 --> 16:49.860] My name's Jill Strange. [16:49.860 --> 16:50.860] I'm 49 years old. [16:50.860 --> 16:52.860] I love gardening and I love volleyball. [16:52.860 --> 16:55.860] I've been taking osteo bi-flex for several years now. [16:55.860 --> 16:57.860] I really can't see myself not taking it. [16:57.860 --> 16:59.860] osteo bi-flex is a great product. [16:59.860 --> 17:01.860] I can go back and do gargle with comfort. [17:01.860 --> 17:03.860] osteo bi-flex. [17:03.860 --> 17:06.860] The glucose amine can droiden supplement with five locks and advanced. [17:06.860 --> 17:10.860] Chosen improvement and joint comfort within seven days. [17:10.860 --> 17:14.860] Since taking osteo bi-flex there's nothing that I can't do. [17:14.860 --> 17:20.860] osteo bi-flex the number one doctor and pharmacist recommended brand. [17:20.860 --> 17:24.860] First can ABC News and Iowa with America's most watched debate. [17:24.860 --> 17:26.860] And now this Saturday night. [17:26.860 --> 17:28.860] Americans again turn to ABC News. [17:28.860 --> 17:32.860] Just days before our country's first primary for the high stakes. [17:32.860 --> 17:34.860] New Hampshire Republican debate. [17:34.860 --> 17:36.860] Saturday night at 90. [17:36.860 --> 17:38.860] Six Pacific on ABC. [17:38.860 --> 17:40.860] Then the very next morning. [17:40.860 --> 17:44.860] George returns to Sunday morning politics on ABC this week with George [17:44.860 --> 17:46.860] Steppenopolis. [17:46.860 --> 17:48.860] This election year. [17:48.860 --> 17:52.860] Watch ABC News and see the whole political picture. [17:52.860 --> 17:56.860] Well tonight some doctors are hailing it as the strongest pain killer yet to help Americans [17:56.860 --> 17:58.860] battling chronic pain. [17:58.860 --> 18:02.860] But many others say it would instead open a Pandora's box of new concerns. [18:02.860 --> 18:04.860] Chief among them. [18:04.860 --> 18:06.860] Addiction. [18:06.860 --> 18:08.860] Here's ABC's well on Clayborn tonight. [18:08.860 --> 18:12.860] The powerful new pain killer would be aimed at people like Kelly [18:12.860 --> 18:16.860] Omsbroker who suffers from intense migraine headaches. [18:16.860 --> 18:22.860] Dropping pulsating feeling like spears are coming through my eyes. [18:22.860 --> 18:26.860] Currently undergoing testing in patients as a hydro contains pure hydrocodone. [18:26.860 --> 18:30.860] It can be as much as ten times stronger than vicarin. [18:30.860 --> 18:34.860] Sogenex won a four companies developing the drug told ABC News. [18:34.860 --> 18:38.860] So hydro represents a potentially safer option because it does not contain [18:38.860 --> 18:40.860] acetaminophen. [18:40.860 --> 18:42.860] A drug associated with serious liver toxicity. [18:42.860 --> 18:46.860] But critics say so hydro would only add a powerful [18:46.860 --> 18:50.860] and unnecessary drug to the nation's abundance supply of pain killers. [18:50.860 --> 18:54.860] Do you believe that so hydro is a dangerous pain killer? [18:54.860 --> 18:56.860] Dangerous to the public. [18:56.860 --> 18:58.860] When you pack this amount of a narcotic into a single pill. [18:58.860 --> 19:02.860] It's very easy for somebody to overdose and die from it. [19:02.860 --> 19:04.860] There's also the potential for addiction. [19:04.860 --> 19:06.860] The terrific business model. [19:06.860 --> 19:08.860] If medication like this gets prescribed to a patient. [19:08.860 --> 19:12.860] Many people will be on this medication for the rest of their life. [19:12.860 --> 19:16.860] An estimated 15,000 people die each year from overdosing [19:16.860 --> 19:18.860] on prescription pain killers. [19:18.860 --> 19:22.860] According to the Centers for Disease Control and law enforcement officials [19:22.860 --> 19:26.860] link pain killer use and abuse to waves of violent crime [19:26.860 --> 19:28.860] and a surge in pharmacy break-ins. [19:28.860 --> 19:32.860] Just yesterday an off-duty federal alcohol tobacco and firearms agent [19:32.860 --> 19:34.860] was killed on Long Island, New York. [19:34.860 --> 19:38.860] The robber who was also killed was demanding oxycontin. [19:38.860 --> 19:44.860] But sogenex says so hydro could be a crucial new weapon against chronic pain. [19:44.860 --> 19:46.860] Critics say it's one pain killer. [19:46.860 --> 19:50.860] The nation's medicine cabinets don't need. [19:50.860 --> 19:52.860] Enron Clayborn joins us on the desk here in New York. [19:52.860 --> 19:54.860] If and when this drug is approved in the coming year, [19:54.860 --> 19:58.860] what kind of safeguards will be in place given all the concern out there? [19:58.860 --> 20:02.860] If it is approved, then most certainly it will be a class two medication [20:02.860 --> 20:06.860] which means that to get it filled and refilled, each time you have to go back to your [20:06.860 --> 20:10.860] physician instead of getting an automatic five refills, which is done for [20:10.860 --> 20:11.860] most pain killers now. [20:11.860 --> 20:14.860] So it'll be much more restricted if it is approved. [20:14.860 --> 20:15.860] If. [20:15.860 --> 20:16.860] All right, Mon Clayborn tonight. [20:16.860 --> 20:17.860] Thanks very much. [20:17.860 --> 20:20.860] When we come back here, those falling birds from the sky on New Year's Eve. [20:20.860 --> 20:25.860] Not again. [20:25.860 --> 20:34.860] When a moment suddenly turns romantic, men with erectile dysfunction can be more [20:34.860 --> 20:38.860] confident in their ability to be ready with cialis for daily use. [20:38.860 --> 20:42.860] Even if it doesn't happen every day, you can be ready any time the moment's right [20:42.860 --> 20:47.860] because you take a clinically proven low-ghost tablet every day. [20:47.860 --> 20:50.860] Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications. [20:50.860 --> 20:53.860] And ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. [20:53.860 --> 20:56.860] Don't take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain. [20:56.860 --> 20:58.860] As this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. [20:58.860 --> 21:00.860] Do not drink alcohol and excess with cialis. [21:00.860 --> 21:02.860] Side effects may include headache, upset stomach, [21:02.860 --> 21:04.860] delayed backache or muscle ache. [21:04.860 --> 21:07.860] To avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical health for an erection, [21:07.860 --> 21:09.860] lasting more than four hours. [21:09.860 --> 21:12.860] If you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, [21:12.860 --> 21:15.860] stop taking cialis and call your doctor right away. [21:15.860 --> 21:19.860] Ask your doctor if cialis for daily use is right for you. [21:19.860 --> 21:24.860] For a 30-tab with free trial offer, go to cialis.com. [21:24.860 --> 21:29.860] For many, nexium helps relieve heartburn symptoms caused by acid reflux disease. [21:29.860 --> 21:33.860] Osteoprosis-related bone fractures and low magnesium levels have been seen with nexium. [21:33.860 --> 21:36.860] Possible side effects include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. [21:36.860 --> 21:38.860] Other serious stomach conditions may still exist. [21:38.860 --> 21:40.860] Talk to your doctor about nexium. [21:40.860 --> 21:43.860] I take an omega from my heart. [21:43.860 --> 21:46.860] To be honest, I find the omega choice is overwhelming, [21:46.860 --> 21:48.860] which one is right for me. [21:48.860 --> 21:51.860] Then I found new coronutrients omega-3. [21:51.860 --> 21:53.860] It's from Centrum and they might trust. [21:53.860 --> 21:56.860] It goes beyond my heart to support my brain and eyes, too. [21:56.860 --> 22:00.860] And these ultra-concentrated mini gels are much smaller than many others. [22:00.860 --> 22:03.860] It's part of a whole new line of supplements. [22:03.860 --> 22:05.860] There's probiotic and fruit and veggie, too. [22:05.860 --> 22:07.860] New coronutrients from Centrum. [22:07.860 --> 22:10.860] Look for your $5 coupon in this Sunday's paper. [22:10.860 --> 22:12.860] This is Lyre. [22:12.860 --> 22:14.860] Her warning begins with arthritis pain. [22:14.860 --> 22:16.860] That's a coffee in two pills. [22:16.860 --> 22:20.860] The afternoon tour begins with more pain and more pain. [22:20.860 --> 22:24.860] Evening guests are off back to sore knees, back to more pills. [22:24.860 --> 22:26.860] The day is done, but hang on. [22:26.860 --> 22:28.860] Her doctor recommended a leaf. [22:28.860 --> 22:30.860] Just two pills can keep arthritis pain weight all day [22:30.860 --> 22:32.860] with fewer pills than Tylenol. [22:32.860 --> 22:33.860] This is Lyre. [22:33.860 --> 22:37.860] It shows two leaves and fewer pills for a day-free of pain. [22:37.860 --> 22:39.860] Get an Alive coupon in this Sunday's paper. [22:39.860 --> 22:42.860] We were flattered when Regenerist beat $100 cream. [22:42.860 --> 22:45.860] Flavor gasped it when we creamed a $500 cream. [22:45.860 --> 22:48.860] For about $30, Regenerist Microscultine Cream [22:48.860 --> 22:52.860] Hydrates better than over 20 of America's most expensive luxury creams. [22:52.860 --> 22:55.860] Fantastic phenomenal Regenerist. [22:55.860 --> 22:58.860] History repeating itself today in the town of BB Arkansas [22:58.860 --> 23:01.860] folks there woke up this morning to find hundreds of dead blackbirds [23:01.860 --> 23:02.860] littering their streets. [23:02.860 --> 23:05.860] The same thing happened in BB last year, though the number of birds falling [23:05.860 --> 23:07.860] from the skies this time a little smaller. [23:07.860 --> 23:10.860] Animal control experts suspect the birds were spooked by the fireworks [23:10.860 --> 23:12.860] that's what they said last year too. [23:12.860 --> 23:15.860] There were plenty of fireworks mean time elsewhere around the world. [23:15.860 --> 23:18.860] Spectacular display is lighting up the night skies everywhere from Sydney [23:18.860 --> 23:21.860] where one and a half million people turned out to Seattle [23:21.860 --> 23:23.860] where the space deal provided a glorious launching point. [23:23.860 --> 23:27.860] 250,000 people feel the streets of London to see a dazzling display [23:27.860 --> 23:31.860] and in Las Vegas police cleared a four mile section of the strip [23:31.860 --> 23:34.860] for a spectacular display in Vegas. [23:34.860 --> 23:38.860] To Prince Philip made his first official public appearance today [23:38.860 --> 23:40.860] after spending four days in the hospital for a heart procedure [23:40.860 --> 23:44.860] the 90 year old walk 400 yards to attend traditional New Year's day [23:44.860 --> 23:46.860] services with the queen great to see. [23:46.860 --> 23:49.860] When we come back here on World News we were so impressed by your three words [23:49.860 --> 23:52.860] what so many of you sent in on Facebook online. [23:52.860 --> 23:56.860] You're about to see the range of your three words in a moment. [23:56.860 --> 24:01.860] My name is Jeff. I'm a dad coach and I quit smoking with [24:01.860 --> 24:06.860] the politics knowing that I could smoke during the first week was really important to me.
