If the Justice Department has any proof of wiretapping at trump tower a Congressional Committee wants that evidence turned over by tomorrow. The deadline looms as pressure mounts on President Trump to drop his wiretapping claim against president obama or prove it. Heres errol barnett. The president has one of two choices, either retract or to provide the information that the American People deserve. Republican senator john mccain said today that he has no reason to believe President Trumps claim of being wiretapped. I hope we get to the bottom of all these matters. Republican Senate Intelligence committee member, tom cotton said he has seen no supporting evidence, neither has the ranking democrat on the house Intelligence Committee either the president quite deliberately for some reason made up this charge or perhaps more disturbing the president really believes this. Last weekend, President Trump tweeted that president obama ordered surveillance of trump tower during the election. He offered no evidence or further explanation. No i said im thought aware and im not aware. Press Secretary Sean Spicer struggled to clarify if the surveillance occurred because mister trump was already part of investigations into russia. Thats why we want the house and senate to do what the president has asked of them to look into this. House members are asking the department of justice to turn over any evidence of wire tapping by monday. President obamas director of National Intelligence has disputed the president s claim. There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president elect at this time. President trump has asked congress to investigate his wiretapping accusation against president obama, while congress is still waiting for any supporting evidence from the white house. Meanwhile, fbi director james comey is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on this matter one week from tomorrow, elaine. Erroll barnett thanks. Tomorrow, the Congressional Budget Office a nonpartisan agency of economists is expected to release its report on the American Health care act the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare. The report will outline the estimated cost and impact of the bill. The reignited Health Care Debate was a hot topic on the sunday morning programs. House Speaker Paul Ryan weighed in on face the nation with John Dickerson. The one thing im certain will happen is c. B. O. Will say, well, gosh. Not as many people will get coverage. You know why . Because this isnt a government mandate. This is not the government makes you buy what we say you should buy and therefore the government thinks youre all going to buy it. So theres no way you can compete with on paper a government mandate with coverage. What we are trying to achieve here is bringing down the cost of care, bringing down the cost of care, bringing down the cost of insurance, thought through government mandates and monopolies but by having more choice and competition. Quijano John Dickerson is with us now from washington. So john, the Congressional Budget Offices assessment of the plan, as you know, is expected on monday. Now if it predicts that millions will lose coverage what are the arguments that we will likely here from those republicans who backed this bill . Well, heres why thats such a problem. President trump said more people will be covered than are nik0 currently covered. White house adviser Kellyanne Conway said everybody who is covered by the Affordable Care act will be covered. This has been the consistent message from the president. Leaving aside the promises the president also made about quality and choice which are quite robust promises. So thats why this is a big hurdle if cbo comes out and makes this judgment. Quijano if this legislation fails what is the potential political fallout for the white house as well as Congressional Republicans . Well if it fails completely and there is no replacement for the aca the president has said that would be a blood bath and paul ryan on the broadcast today affirmed that. So that would be the big disaster. The interim situation would be what happens often in legislation which is it fails, and then people cobble together a solution and try to run up the hill one more time. The challenge here is that the republicans are operating within their own space and are not picking up any democrats and not appealing to them. Quijano John Dickerson in washington, john thank you.

Last month, duprees close friend chyna gibson and Ciara Mcelveen were murdered within days of each other. A week earlier, Jaquarrius Holland was killed in another louisiana town. All of the victims; trans women of color. What scares me the most is that people will feel like they can get away with these things and nothing will be done about it. While the 3 murders here in louisiana arent connected, they highlight an alarming trend seven trans women have been killed already this year. Last year a record 23 were killed; the majority black and latino women.

Quijano up next after a steel plant spewed contaminants on this farmers land he decided to try an unusual experiment. Quijano farmers in a region of italy once known for cheeses have turned to cultivating a type of cannabis not to smoke or sell but to decontaminate polluted soil. The hemp theyre growing contains very little thc the compound that makes people high. Seth doane checked out the crop. Vincenzo fornara showed us his nowempty farm, once packed with more than 600 sheep. For generations, our family produced ricotta and meat. He recalled. Until 2008, when italys government discovered the toxic chemical dioxin in his sheep and slaughtered the entire herd. The culprit just a mile away. Contaminants spewing from this massive steel plant europes largest meant fornaro could never have grazing animals again. To clean up his land he decided to try a rather unusual experiment. Hes growing marijuana. Fornaro planted Industrial Hemp to try to leech contaminants from the soil. The science is called phytoremediation. The plants are absorbing the contaminants. Which stores or in some cases, transforms toxins into a harmless substance. This crop is past harvest and doesnt look like much now. ù but its proven to pull heavy metals from soil. And was used following the Nuclear Disaster at chernobyl to remove radioactive strontium and cesium. Thats what inspired environmental engineer marcello callal to see if it might work here with dioxin.

Quijano we have another report now from Holly Williams in iraq. Here, she meets up with a shadow platoon of gamers who are using drones to fight isis. It looks like a toy plane. Its just a really big slingshot. And sounds like a lawn mower. But the rq7bv2 is a 1. 5 million drone. The us military calls it the shadow in the skies above mosul, it allows the American Coalition to do this call if air strikes targettings i. S. I. S. Positions. Sergeant joe pinchott is a drone pilot with the 82nd Airborne Division in Northern Iraq surveilling the battlefield in incredible detail from the back of a humvee. By the vehicle theyre driving, and what theyre wearing its pretty easy to tell. You can see what people are wearing . Enough to make out whether theyre american or not i cant read someones name tag or anything. But i can tell what theyre wearing. The average age of the drone pilots in shadow platoon is just 22 many of them keen video gamers, but these screens are too secret for us to show you. How is it different to a video game . Its much slower paced, graphics arent quite as good, the controls arent quite the same. It is aits sort of like a video game, but nobody would buy to play this video game. Isis has its own drones which it uses to guide its suicide bombers and which theyve adapted to drop explosives. For the most part though the extremists rely on lowtech weapons like rifles and explosives. Theyve wreaked deadly chaos here in iraq.

Although happening out there theres a lot of curiosity. But on saturday, muslims across the country tried to fight fear of islam with friendly conversation and facts. As a muslim in america, what do you find is the most common question or misconception that people have . Probably the most common misconception is that jihad is a violent war against the nonmuslims. Theres nothing in islam that allows for radical muslims. That exchange and hundreds like it were part of the First National meet a muslim day, a project of the Ahmadiyya Muslim youth association. Spokesperson Salaam Bhatti met people in new yorks times square get out there, go out of our comfort zones, and have our neighbors meet us. So that we can let them know that islam is a peaceful religion, muslims are loyal to this country. This is our country of residence, and were here to progress together. Almost twothirds of amercians dont know a muslim in their everyday lives, according to pew research. People tell us islam is cancer, it needs to be eradicated. And according to the fbi, antimuslim hate crimes have surged 67 since 2002, reaching a level not since the 9 11 attacks. Volunteer assad banguwa hopes this weekend of conversation will help bring those numbers down. But its all about a lack of knowledge.
