That teachers should get a raise after learning the superintendent was getting one. That teacher then on the floor in the hallway and handcuffed. And Tonya Harding, all these years later. Tonight, acknowledging for the first time something we had not heard before after that attack on nancy kerrigan. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. A lot of news to get to. And we begin with those scenes of devastation coming in now, after the wildfires, now staggering amounts of rain triggering deadly mudslides tonight in california. Mud and debris rushing down hills, onto major highways, shutting cown down the 101 in montecito. Multicar accidents on rainslicked roads. This truck losing control at an interchange on the i5 freeway. Powerful torrents of rain and mud ripping up trees and homes, trapping people inside. In fact, a 14yearold girl pulled from the mud and the wreckage alive. But not everyone has been saved, and the death toll is growing. Abcs matt gutman leads us off from california. Reporter tonight, rescuers trudging through chesthigh mud in the frantic search for the missing. We have multiple reports of people trapped. Reporter up to five inches of rain surging through creek beds with titanic force. Its our worst fear coming to life for us right now. Our people are out there trying to do the best work they can and perform as many rescues as they possibly can. Reporter the thomas fire, largest in california history, denuded the nearby hills of vegetation and anything that would absorb the water. Overnight, the famed 101 freeway overrun. Were retreating here and you can actually feel debris hitting our car right now. Closed for 30 miles in both directions. And you can see how fast that water is moving here. I mean, that is a torrent of water. Reporter at least eight killed and over two dozen injured. Rescuers piling in overnight, gingerly pulling out this 14yearold girl, so mudspattered, its hard to make her out. Dogs were sent padding through the deep slop, skirting around eucalyptus trees that had snagged siding, cars and whole chunks of homes. Firefighters are telling us that foundation right there, it had a house on it. That house is now over there, smashed up against those trees. That crew on the rooftop searching for signs of life. You think someone is in there . We have a strong feeling someone is in that house. Reporter some neighborhoods impassable. Helicopters and high water vehicles taking families like ben hyatts to safety. I immediately ran and woke up jack and pushed him to the top bunk bed. I was worried that it was just going to keep coming and coming. Woke up my wife and we just did not know what to do, because we were just surrounded by mud. Reporter the debris field was a mileslong ribbon of mud, boulders and the remains of peoples homes. Above burbank look at all the water that came down through this dam, destroyed, it looks like, several vehicles and that rv there. Reporter that slide also causing a gas leak and bringing mandatory evacuations. And matt gutman reporting in tonight from montecito. And matt, we know, just a devastating scene there, youve been reporting in all day on this. And this area was not under a mandatory evacuation . Reporter thats right, david. Stunningly, this area was under a voluntary evacuation order, and were told by officials that the areas that were under that mandatory evacuation order, only 10 to 15 of those people left. And thats because nobody thought that the water would come down here with such crushing force, bearing those boulders, wiping the house that used to be on that Foundation Completely off of it. Now, officials tell me they fear that there are more victims here in this debris. David . All right, just incredible scene tonight. Matt gutman leading us off. Matt, thank you. Now, to major developments from the white house. Just days after the release of that bombshell book fire and fury, that claimed some closest to the president have questioned the president s fitness to lead, an extremely rare event playing out on television today. Reporters and cameras invited into a bipartisan meeting on immigration, playing out for 55 minutes on television. Showing america the president at work. Abcs chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl was in the room. Reporter today, the president still dealing with fallout over a book portraying him as dimwitted and unstable made a dramatic effort to show the opposite. Leading a freewheeling negotiation between democrats and republicans on immigration. And, in a white house first, letting it all play out before the television cameras. This should be a bill of love, truly, should be a bill of love. Reporter at issue, the looming march 5th deadline for the socalled dreamers. Undocumented immigrants who were brought into the country as children and now could soon face deportation. Its daca. Weve been talking about daca for a long time. Reporter everybody in the room seemed to agree on providing legal status to the dreamers, but republicans insisted that more Border Security had to be part of the deal. Democrats tried to convince the president to deal with the dreamers first, and at times, he seemed to agree. What about a clean daca bill now, with a commitment that we go into a comprehensive Immigration Reform procedure like we did back, oh, i remember, when kennedy is here. I have no problem i think thats basically what hes saying. Were going to come out with daca. Were going to do daca, and then we can start immediately on the phase two, which would be comprehensive. Would you be agreeable with that . I would like that. Mr. President , you need to be clear, though. I think what senator feinstein is asking here, when we talk about daca, we dont want to be back here two years later. You have to have security as the secretary would tell you. But i think thats what shes saying. No, no, i think reporter other times, the president seemed to insist the deal must include his border wall. Is there any agreement without the wall . No. There wouldnt be. Reporter the wall has to be there . Have to you need it. Jon, you need the wall. I mean, its wonderful, id love not to build the wall, but you need the wall. Reporter the president also seemed to push for comprehensive Immigration Reform, something most conservatives and Trump Supporters have been dead set against for years. Ill take all the heat you want to give me. And ill take the heat off both the democrats and the republicans. My whole life has been heat. I like heat in a certain way. Reporter some of the republicans in the room asked the president to clarify where he stands. You have created an opportunity here, mr. President , and you need to close the deal. Reporter but the president said it is up to congress to work out the details, signaling he wants a deal even if its not a perfect one. If they come to me with things im not in love with, im going to do it, because i respect them. I will be signing it. So, lets get to jon karl live in washington. Jon, youve spent years covering the white house. You were in that room. Whats the white house trying to accomplish here . Reporter well, first of all, david, this was the president s decision. He told his staff that he was going to do it, just as they were going into the meeting. Its an effort to show a president that is in charge and able to work with democrats, something, david, that he simply has to do now that the republican majority in the senate is down to one seat. And jon, while we have you, there was also news late today about the president s former chief strategist, steve bannon, who was often quoted in that book fire and fury, criticizing the president and his family. We know the president has cut him off and tonight, hes out at breitbart, as well . Reporter he is out, david. He infuriated the white house, infuriated the president , who now calls him sloppy steve. He tried to issue a mea culpa, but that was an apology that simply was not accepted in trump world. Jon karl at the white house tonight. Next, to the russia investigation, and to that controversial dossier on thencandidate donald trump and russia. Tension growing between Senate Democrats and republicans over whether to release the transcript of an interview on the hill behind closed doors with the Company Behind that dossier. Well, tonight, in a rare move, democratic senator Dianne Feinstein has released the transcript on her own. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas on whats in it. Reporter tonight, democratic senator Dianne Feinstein releasing the testimony of the man whose firm commissioned the Infamous Trump russia dossier. The firm, fusion gps, was hired by republicans and later by democrats to look into candidate trumps possible ties to russia. Republicans, including President Trump, have dismissed the largely uncorroborated dossier. Its very sad what theyve done with this fake dossier. It was made up. Reporter but in a meeting with the Senate Judiciary committee, fusion gps cofounder Glenn Simpson fought back, saying, its political rhetoric to call the dossier phony. The memos are field reports of real interviews. Theres nothing phony about it. The dossier was written by a former british spy named christopher steele. Simpson told senators that steele became genuinely alarmed about what he was uncovering, and went to the fbi. He thought from his perspective there was an issue. A security issue about whether a president ial candidate was being blackmailed. Simpson testified the fbi revealed they also had a voluntary source, someone who was concerned about the same concerns we had. His words left the impression that the source was a member of the trump team. But were learning tonight that it was, in fact, an australian official who had spoken to a Trump Campaign adviser. Over the summer, the republican chairman of the Committee Said he believed the transcripts of simpsons testimony would eventually come out. I presume that they will be released. Reporter four months later, democrats decided to do it on their own. I think people are entitled to know what was said. I see no problem with releasing it. All right, Pierre Thomas with us live tonight from washington. And pierre, some republican senators have called for a criminal investigation now of that former british spy who fusion gps now says sounded the alarm to the fbi. Theyre targeting him now for criminal investigation. And theyre furious democrats released this testimony on their own . Reporter thats right, david. Republicans say its confounding that senator feinstein released that transcript, and they say it severely undermines the committees work. David . Pierre thomas tonight. Pierre, thank you. And one more note tonight. Amid all the talk of Oprah Winfrey now intrigued by the headlines, the tweets about her and a possible run for president in 2020, tonight, what President Trump has said when asked, could he beat oprah . Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter in the white house today, President Trump had this prediction for a possible 2020 oprah run. Ill beat oprah. Oprah would be a lot of fun. I like oprah. I dont think she is going to run. I dont think shes going to run. I know her very well. Reporter his daughter, ivanka, calling winfreys Golden Globes speech empowering and inspiring. So, i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. Reporter the megastar instantly catapulted into the political stratosphere. There will be no running for office of any kind for me. Reporter that was oprah just a few months ago. Today, her best friend, gayle king, says she doesnt think oprahs position has changed. But i do think shes intrigued by the idea. I do think that. I also know that after years of watching the oprah show, you always have the right to change your mind. I dont think at this point she is actually considering it. Reporter the oprah show, something President Trump knows a lot about. Oprah once asking if he would run for president. I just dont think i really have the inclination to do it. I love what im doing, i really like it. Also doesnt pay as well. No, it doesnt. Reporter his white house aides arent laughing. Theyre already lobbing political hits. What advice would you give a political outsider like oprah, who seems intrigued about the idea of running . Im not going to focus on anyones campaign other than President Trumps reelection. Reporter is she qualified . Look, i disagree very much on her policies. Is she a successful individual . Absolutely. But in terms of where she stands on a number of positions, i would find a lot of problems with that. Reporter well, thats the white house. They say they welcome all challengers. As for democrats, president obamas former iowa director tweeted at oprah, call me. David, the democrats are definitely intrigued. And what a moment you unearthed from the oprah show so many years ago there. Thank you, cecilia. Overseas tonight, amid the Nuclear Tensions between the u. S.

Kim jongun could be just a test or two away from perfecting a nucleartipped missile that could potentially hit the united states. And Martha Raddatz reporting in from seoul tonight. And martha, what are the north koreans really trying to accomplish here, by walking across that border, suddenly willing to negotiate with the south . What message are they trying to send to the u. S. . Reporter well, david, i think the north is, in part, trying to drive a wedge between the u. S. And south korea. But the South Koreans have promised the u. S.

And it puts me at higher risk of stroke. That would be devastating. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. Once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration blood thinner. Significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.
