The fire chief said she never experienced anything like this fire in her decades long career. Heres how a neighbor described. I pulled him out and there was a lot of stuff in the way and the flames were too much. Too much smoke and i had had to [bleep]. I had to let him and i havent sewn him. And there is flames shooting out for 30 minutes. So. I dont know. I hope, i hope hes okay. Claudia is live in oakland. Claudia, have crews got inside of the building yet .

Work is continuing meticulously. Right now the death toll is officially at nine. But the coronnor is preparing for dozens of falitalities and 25 40 people were not affected for. They were attending the oakland ghost ship and the roof collapsed and many people were trapped. The only way to travel from the second floor to the first was a stair. And many people are saying that the investigation will take time because of the damage and right now, their focus is on a grim recovery effort here. What do we know about p the building, claudia . Reporter it was described as a artist warehouse and laid out as a maze. You can see the pictures of the oakland ghost ship it could have been confusing for someone it navigate the corridors and Artist Studio and the building was filled with furniture and mannequin and lamps and no working sprinkles. And neighbors had complained to the city about trash and debris. I had received recent complaints about lights in the property and that is ongoing. Permits would be needed for people to live in the building and they were not issued. Reporter there are reports that the family was live nothing the warehouse and the father is unaccounted for. It is not a crime scene. But a special task forces assigned to the incident. Inside of the building there were a lot of things wrong. No way of calling the Fire Department and no fire alarms . Reporter there were no working smoke alarms or sprinkler system. Thats what i am told by authorities. Gaerngs this investigation is just getting underway. It is devastating and no smoke alarm and hard to report a fire until it is too late and as you mentioned they were living illegally as squatters . That sounds like it could be the case. But we dont know for sure. Officials are not confirming that. People are come here for the underground dance parties, thats what we are hearing.

President elect donald trump doesnt seem to be backing down after he risked angerring china and spoke to it a leader of taiwan. And in 1979, the United States agreed to honor the policy. And cut diplos with with the island. Since then no u. S. President or president elect has spoken to a leader in taiwan. That was until yesterday when president eect donald trump accepted a congratulations call from the taiwan leader. China has filed a formal complaint and urging the u. S. To handle the issue cautiously and properly. Brian is live in trump tower. Hi, brian. Reporter good evening, the most sensitive topic is not trade, but it is taiwan when is comes to u. S. china relation. It is an issue 60 years in a making and no president or president elect call canned a taiwan leader since 1979. And that call rattled a complicated relationship with china. And china filing the formal complaint through the foreign minister. We urge the relevant parties in the u. S. To a boyd by the commitment to one china policy. And avoid unnecessary interfering of the u. S. Relation says. The taiwanez leader call canned to offer congratulations and spoke between the ties of taiwan and the United States. It is it a potential major signal. Taiwan refers to historic conversation and the two spoke for roughly ten minutes about establishing a close relationship. Trump is it not know what all of the hoopla was b. It was the polite to do. Interesting how the u. S. Sells taiwan billions of military equipment but i should thought accept a congratulatory call. The dnc said donald trump is too incompetent threatens our National Security or doing it deliberate because he wants to build hotels in taiwan. That is assertion that trump denies. And Kelli Nan Conway knew the ramifications when he had had the phone call. s brief conference there after a warehouse fire in oakland, california that killed nine people. That is nine that we know b. And as i stated earlier, we expect the death toll from this event to it rise. So we are working with families right now that are missing loved ones. And we have seen these events take place throughout the country over the year and it is it a very trying time for them. We are working with those family and we have counsel can counseling and support set up. I cant tell you how great the red cross was to help us out. We are working hard and update you at 6 00. In the meantime well be here doing our job and dealing with families. [inaudible] well make multiple points of entrow to get in to the spots we cant get in now. There is twisted debris. It is hard to describe like a maze. There is wires and beams and metal and wood, its all, its all fallen on top of each other. Places that we cant get into. We are talking about bring nothing dogs to help us out and Remote Technology to get in the spots that are really tight. There is a lot of work. Well use technology to our advantage and make sure we get to every spot in the building. [inaudible] the shoring and the engineering people are work nothing there as we are inside. And they dont stop what they are doing. Reenforcing. And moving as they slowly enter into the structure. There is several people. Fire personnel are experts in this field and do this every day. And we have our search and rescue people who are experts in getting in tight spaces. They deal with urban rescue and we have all of the experts to get the job done but it is time consuming. The beside were covered [inaudible] the floor is totalled. [inaudible] yeah, we are going to roach in from the west side of the building. And so bar tracks here. We are going to bring in debris box and take that debris and put it in box and breach holes in the building and we have to worry with about the structure integrity so that nothing collapse and so there is a lot going on. [inaudible] it is hard. The building, how it is now. Is notes inially how it was at the time, right. And so those windows have been broken out on purpose to battle the fire. A part of the Recovery Efforts is what you see now. [inaudible] no, there is not at this time. And so we are actually literally taking finger prints and rushing those finger prints to the central Identification Bureau and doing it the mint minute we role fringer prints and identify them and contacting families and that is very you know, systemically. And respectfully to the families. Well go stloe. And as soon saz we get a victim out and identifying through finger frints. If they are available. Not everyone has finger prints on file. And that is where it is important to have the connection with the families when we start getting into that. You have information on the size . No. I dont. The fire chief explained earlier that there were two entrances and exits to the building and maybe there was a third entrance that somebody had cut a hole through the wall that they used to get through buildings. That is not something that everyone would know about. There is two known entrance and exits. Most people would know that. One is in the front and one in the back. Just to confirm, four of the nine totals, correct. Nine total, yes. That we identified so far and there is all of that debris and floors have collapsed and the roof collapsed on the top of the second floor and collapsed in the first floor. And we would imagine more victims in that wreckage and so thats why we are using technology and people to get in those spots. At least a couple of dozen upon. Ality least a couple of dozen people we need to figure out their whereabouts. Have you identified the ones that you brought out. Not yet. We are running finger prints. Is there is a central location. We posted that. So there you have the fire chief from the oakland, california Fire Department offering grim news. They have found nine people died. Four bodies were recoveried and earlier there were 25 unfound victims. And so, of course, that victim toll, and that death counted could go up.

It is not just going to take billions of dollars. It would be trillions in new spending that is real money. The whopping number of debt reflects years of overspending and spanning multiple white house administrations. President elect donald trump and republicans have vowed to it reduce the debate. Will they be able to find a way without hurting the economy . We have the story from the washington bureau. Reporter nothing in current law is going to stop the 20 trillion National Debt. And nothing in law will stop 25 or 30 trillion. And in the turn of the century, the federal government owed five and half trillion. And now nearly 20 trillion. The debt is highest it has been for any president in office other than president trumman and expected to grow faster than the economy forever. In that year, they add 590 billion to the National Debt and the government took in 3. 3 in tax accident. How did the government spend that money. Half to Government Health care and Social Security. Health care costs 1. 1 trillion. And that is medicare and medicaid. Government spent on Social Security and disability insurance. And a trillion on Everything Else that the programs for low income american and benefits for retired worker and transportation and education and federal affair and housing. And interest cost 250 billion last year alone. Budget experts say 2016 Campaign Promises would drive the debt higher. Chatter of tax cut and infrastructure and military spending and dont touch medicare and Social Security. It doesnt add up. Mr. Trump inherited a Budget Program from president obama. And consequences is higher are Interest Payments to those lending the government money and lower productivity and less flexibility to react to a y severe recession. Health care costs would affect the debt and entitlement programs are the countrys largest liabilities and making them more sustainable means americans paying less for them or taking more from the government.
