one day ahead of new year's eve 2016. >>> let's get right to the breaking news though. russia's president vladimir putin a short time ago saying russia will not be expelling any american diplomats from russia. that's in response to the new round of u.s. sanctions against russia announced late yesterday by the obama administration from moscow's alleged interference in the u.s. presidential election. >> we've been clear all along. there will be consequences. we will respond at a time and place of our choosing and that's what you're seeing done today. >> donald trump also weighing in this morning saying he will be meeting with intelligence officials about the matter next week. we've got the best team of reporters in the biusiness following all the angles with the late breaking details. we start with pentagon correspondent hans nichols. first, mr. putin saying no american diplomats will be expelled from russia. remember our conversation here on air yesterday afternoon where the predominant thinking was that we would, in fact, see the same number of diplomats expelled. what

southern new hampshire. just a quick coating, but that's enough to cause you problems. real cold is in the middle of the country. what's interesting in the next couple days, record warm november, so the lakes are very warm. when that cold air comes over the top, we're getting significant lake effect snow. the cold arctic air moves in. as that warm air interacts with cold air, we get the clouds to form and the lake effectnow bands to form. we do expect heavy snow downwind of lake erie and ontario in the next couple days. already have lake effect watches and warnings. this is the tokyo plateau and areas south of buffalo, where we're going to see the possibilities at least of maybe about two to three feet of snow in the days ahead. again, that's expected when you get these cold outbreaks, that time of year, louis. the cold air reaches the east coast by about friday, saturday, so it's on schedule, but there's still no big huge snowstorms on the way either. >> i'm waiting for it. i'm ready for it. >> the kids are

the biggest problem gator of news doesn't call itself news. it's facebook. >> i have to break in here. seeing this on the prompter, we have breaking news. president-elect donald trump announcing that during a meeting with former mayor rudy giuliani that he removed his name from consideration for a position in the new administration. they are putting out a statement saying rudy giuliani is an extraordinarily talented and patriotic american and i will be appreciative of his campaign. after i won the primaries and for his extremely wise counsel. he continues to be a close personal friend and as appropriate i will call upon him for advice and can see an important place for him in the administration at a later date. we are just getting that statement from donald trump. there was all sorts of speculation of him being the choice for secretary of state. he said this was settled a while ago. they had a meeting and giuliani takes his name out of consideration. a lot left unanswered. there were initial reports was rudy giuliani offered attorney general a

we have new database but may have new technology and i was thinking about the green river killer. they had dna they couldn't analyze appropriately, too small a sample but some 15 years later with new technology, he was pled guilty to 48 homicides so it's like a hopeful development in maybe we could see more information about the case and one other thing, the ramsey should not have been cleared in 2008 by the prosecutor. because she thought or said there was one killer from this dna but now we know that's not true. it's a huge development. >> we know that it might not be true. we don't want to jump too far here. >> that's true. >> it cleared the mother, the brother, pointed to this unknown male. what do you think that this new information means for that conclusion? >> well, what it means right now is there may be other information or interpretations of the dna. my understanding is that this information was available at the time of the announcement in 2008 that it could be more than one person. and it could have been older. and it could have been a transfer. so it wasn't definitive

heavy snow is possible up into vermont, new hampshire, and upstate new york. we'll watch the system closely thursday into friday. right now, we still deal with rain coming into the pacific northwest and coastal areas and also getting gusty wind and expect snow in the kcascades. pile on to 2 feet in some areas. cold enough for snow in some places, but warm enough for record highs in many others. we're talking about really warm, warm temperatures. look at how far north the jet stream is and record high temperatures the day after christmas and likely to see it today. look at these numbers in the 50s and 60s throughout the afternoon and even in the 70s in charleston, south carolina. going on to wednesday, not much of a change. warming up to 44 and cooler in new york city after the highs today in the mid 50s and then, eventually, we'll start to get a little cooler towards tend of the week. just a little bit. you can see the temperatures dropping for the last day of the year. 43 degrees in indianapolis and 39 on saturday for new york city. so overall, a bit of a cha

as well as nbc news editor. peter, i have to say i think the most -- it's not that surprising, but if you are donald trump and you saw that focus group and the intro we did you have to feel pretty good about your core base and your ability to talk to your base. >> peter, did you not hear that? i think we are having an audio issue with peter. it was interesting that if you are donald trump and you are the trump white house team and you see the focus group and you realize the core base is with you through thick and thin. >> this group was willing to give donald trump just a very, very wight berth, almost limitless leeway at the beginning of his presidency saying that they are totally unbothered by the stories that are plastered on the front page of newspapers and of nightly news. about his conflicts of interest and russia and the cia story. what the voters want to see is results on two issues. jobs and obamacare either changed or repealed. those are animating issues. those are the things he wants to see action on

nbc news reported tonight a couple of new developments. number one, that the americans thought the attack we suffered on the internet on october 21st was a test run, a precursor. they thought worst case, the russians could bring down a power grid here and there on election day. so this nbc news report goes on that the u.s. used the so-called red phone, it's not actually a phone or red, but it's the live link opened up after the cuban missile crisis between our two countries. it says, message was transmitted telling the russians the u.s. would consider any interference on election day a grave matter. but our reporting goes on to say that the communication was somehow muddled, that we received kind of a proforma response from russia. >> russia's actions was not muddled. it was loud and clear what they were trying to do. they attacked us. i believe we responded too late, and what we can do now is to protect our democracy is to have an independent, bipartisan appointed commission. i have introduced legislation with congressman elijah cummings.

the real core of it, it's only in northern new england, still very cold from pittsburgh to new york but it's not going to be the really brutal stuff. of course, the lakes aren't frozen yet. we had a really warm november. the lake-effect bands have been epic. buffalo had a big one yesterday. cleveland is still in the middle of one. everyone is saying stay off the roads on the west side of cleveland because that band is just sitting over the top of you. you can see that orientation. the white in here is the heavy snow. it sat over the top of cleveland here for about the last four to six hours. that snow is piling up in a hurry. that's why schools are closed there. the other area getting really heavy snow is just to the north of syracuse, just south of watertown. that's the areas that typically get it. we have blizzard warnings that have been issued. it's going to get so windy later on today that areas near syracuse, you'll get some falling snow and what we call a ground blizzard. the winds will be up to 60 miles an hour. it will pick up that snow. very difficult conditions. we already hav
