Investigators are focusing on a theyre also not ruling out the chance that the plane ran out of fuel. Out of control wildfires have forced people in tennessee to evacuate.

Great smokey mountains National Park was forced to close. Dramatic cell phone video shows flames surrounding one driver trying to escape.

A Campus Police officer shot and killed the suspect about one minute later. Police say artan was a student at ohio state. He came to the United States back in 2014, and before that he spent seven years in a pakistan refugee catch after somalia. Artan gla graduated from a Community College earlier this year. He recently posted on facebook that he was, quote, sick and tired of seeing my fellow muslim brothers and sisters being authorities began searching his apartment last night. They believe that he ancted alone. President elect donald trump has announced another major cabinet nomination. He will tap georgia congressman tom price for the leader of health and Human Services. Before entering kong, he was an orthopedic surgeon. Tennessee senator bob corker and 2012 gop president ial nominee mitt romney will also meet with trump today. Mr. Trump talked yesterday with retire foure fourstar general petraeus. John heilman is managing editor at bloomberg politics. First, secretary of state. The president elects choice for who he wants is one thing. Getting them confirmed by the United States thats true. And how does that affect his choice . It seems harder for me to imagine that any of the current people being considered are going to have a real problem getting through a republican senator. Even petraeus . Petraeus has some vetting issues. Clearly there are many people who will point out that for a republican president elect who spent a lot of his campaign attacking Hillary Clinton over her email use and over the classified material, david petraeus, thats what he got in trouble with the law for. There will be a fight over that. But again, hard for me to believe that any of these candidates would have a problem getting through. Do you see a front runner here . Kellyanne conway maybe very vocal in her disapproval of mitt romney. There are reports kellyanne has gone rogue. She made it clear thats not the case. She has the support of donald trump. Is there a leading contender in your mind . The only mind that matters on this is the mind of donald thing seems to have been wildly overblown. Donald trump likes chaos. Its pretty clear to me Kellyanne Conway may be a lot of things, shes not dumb. I dont think she came forward and said anything she did not feel comfortable saying in the context of maintaining her close relationship to mr. Trump. So i think everyone i talk to about this is says the same thing, which is man, we just dont know what donald trump is thinking. Theres things like what he thinks the cut of the jib, the like a secretary of state. Might seem crazy o some people. That matters to donald trump. I wouldnt be surprised if any of the following people, Rudy Giuliani, mitt romney, and david petraeus, end up being secretary of state. Would not surprise me pchbl. Tom price now nominated to be the head of health and Human Services. Hes called obamacare crazy. What does this tell you about where the president elect is going on the affordable car act . He spent a large portion of the campaign saying he was going to repeal and replace obamacare on day one, which was a little overdramatic. Cant really do that in one day. This pick is really consistent with what president elect trump campaigned on. Whether doing the replacement of obamacare has been a complicated thing. But its true congressman price, unlike many republicans who criticized the law, congressman price has a replacement. The more interesting quirks or question, is the fact that congressman price also wants to overhaul medicare in a pretty dramatic way, along the lines of the way paul ryan has said. Thats something that president elect trump said he was adamantly against throughout the campaign. So theres some on the question of repealing or replacing obamacare, theres alignment between the new proposed hhs chairman and the president elect on the question of what to do about medicare, which is obviously the biggest, most important federal entitlement. Theres some disagreement at least right now. And mitt romney and donald trump having dinner tonight at a french restaurant. Its true. You guys have not been on Donald Trumps twitter feed this morning yet. No. The news of this morning is that out of nowhere apparently, the president elect has said has come out with a tweet this morning about flag burning. Not sure what provoked this tweet. Hes suggesting now that if someone burns the american flag, they should be thrown in jail or familiar with the constitutional law on this matter, which is flag burning is, at this moment at least, protected speech under the first amendment. I dont think even if you were to amend the constitution you would be able to strip someones sltsship from them for pretty much any reason. There hasnt been a Campaign Like it. That still continues. Were talking about it now. John heilman, thank you. World leaders are arriving in havana ahead of tonights rally to honor fidel notably absent, russian president vladimir putin, canadian Prime Minister justin trudeau, as well as president obama obama. Charlie rose is in havana, where cubans are lining up to pay their respectings. Charlie, good morning to you. Of fidel castro, massive crowds came to this plaza to hear his thunderous speeches. Yesterday hundreds of thousands came to bid farewell. Today even bigger crowds are expected. In fact, behind me theyre already beginning to line up. Hundreds of mourners remain well after the sun set on revolution square. Fidels brother and cuban president raul castro placed a l several other cuban officials also paid tribute to the man who led the country for nearly 50 years. The lines of mourners monday grew longer as the day wore on. Many were overcome, either by the heat or by grief. He is livieieing e personally n this man said. Many stood in line for a chns to medals. The moment may have lasted only seconds, but the anguish was evident. I tell you this from my heart, this farmer said. Id like it to have been me instead of him. Castros ashes were kept out of public view, even in death he is surrounded by secrecy. Alcohol sales and celebratory music are banned during this period of mourning. Schools and government offices have been many mourners who also signed an oath of loyalty o castros revolution, are state employees or students. Around the world, castro is seen by some as a murderous and repressive dictator. But to these cubans, he is a father figure and a national hero. Tonights rally will be a kind of sendoff of fidel castro. This capital city for one last time. It will then embark on a Cross Country tour, stopping along the way before arriving at santiago de cuba, the birthplace of the revolution. Gayle . Charlie rose in havana. Thank you very much.

It was owe traumatic, it was double digits back then. Now you said its raised to 4 . Its weird, before the election if you were going to get a 30year fixed Rate Mortgage you were paying 3. 34 . Now up over 4 . Thats still good. 4 is amazing. It really is. But that jump is dramatic. And the reason the rates have jumped is that the market believes that president elect trumps policies where you get more spending, more tax cuts, well see more growth. So the Federal Reserve will have to raise rates faster. All Interest Rates will likely rise as a result. Thats why Mortgage Rates are up. Again, its very low historically, honestly, if youre shopping for a mortgage, especially if they keep ticking up which they will presumably for a couple years now. And people are thinking, wait a minute, should i buy my house right now . Wait a second, were still looking at low Mortgage Rates and youve got to look at your financial situation. We talk Financial Planners all the time, what do they say, they say you should be spending up to 30 of your income on housing. Housing can be your house or it can its tough in a highpriced mortgage to keep that housing cost at 30 . But whats really important is, if you are about to buy a house, you got to factor that in. You also have to come up with a down payment. 20 . You can do less but its safer to do 20 . Then you deputy factor in maintenance costs. The boiler can break. Whats the average for a i just heard more millennials are now living at home. More millennials are living at home. The average age is still in the low 30s. About 33.

Understands the situation concerning privacy and supports the need for prince harry to support those closest to him. It goes back to a strongly worded statement prince harry made regarding the medias treatment of his new girlfriend which he described as a wave of abuse and harassment.

That soon gave way to stories that william was deeply unhappy at his brothers hotheaded plea. After that, it looks like william just wanted to set the record straight and give something of a royal seal of approval for harrys girlfriend. Charlie, thank you very much.
