Plus, record shattering cold and winter still six weeks away. A look at the severe conditions and how people in the midwest are handling the subzero temperatur. Right now, youre looking at something weve never seen before. This is the first photo taken by a spacecraft that landed on the surface of a comet. You can see one of the landers three feet there. The washing machine sized spacecraft landed on the comet yesterday. This mission started ten years ago. The European Space agency says the lander bounced twice and touched down for good.

Berlin airport Authorities Say u2 frontman bonos private plane lost a hatch as it was coming in for a landing. The rock star and four friends were flying in from dublin yesterday when the rear door fell off 12 to 15,000 feet above the ground. The plane was able to land safely and no one was hurt. No word on why the door fell off in the first place. Well, his Sweet Creations have made him famous. Now the cake boss is in some legal hot water. Maybe focused on politics, im focused on policy. Plus, is she telling the truth . Why this senators motives are being questioned. And high temperatures today, about 10 degrees below average. Tomorrow, colder. Ill let you know just how cold it will be for your friday. Coming up in about ten min. Right now, all the lanes on the Memorial Bridge are blocked. Just got a tweet in from the maryland transportation authority. There you see the truck, its the center of this. It was on fire. That fire is now out. But the cleanup is still happening right now on that that carried traffic over the potomac between maryland and virginia. Well keep watching the situation and bring you more when we know more. Back to you. All right, thank you. Right now, president obama is in myanmar. The president announced the u. S. Will start sending peace corps volunteers to myanmar late next year. Theyll train for three months before volunteering for two years. Lawmakers here are holding two meetings on the fight against isis. One meeting is focusing on funding. The other focusing on strategy. The u. S. Has been conducting air strikes against isis in iraq since august and in syria since september. Secretary of defense chuck hagel is expected to testify this afternoon. There are lawmakers on both sides now supporting the keystone xl pipeline after years of delays. Theyre voting on it today, in fact. Nbcs tracie potts tells us whats bringing them together now. Reporter the house could vote today on a bill to build the Keystone Xl Oil pipeline. Its sponsored by Louisiana Republican bill cassidy. Hes in a december 6 runoff with democrat Mary Landrieu. Now theyre hoping by backing off, she can win this tight race. Landrieu insists its not about politics. They may be focused on politics. Im focused on policy. Even if the pipeline approval makes it to president obamas desk, white house advisers may again recommend a veto. I think its fair to say that our that our view of these kinds of proposals has not changed. Reporter for six years, the pipeline stalled over environmental concerns, sending oil 1,100 miles through the middle of the u. S. Plus, theres a court case pending in nebraska over the route. The president is waiting for action to pan out in nebraska and he wants all these issues to be resolved. Reporter the senate could vote tuesday, leaving it in president s hands by the middle of next week. They still need to get that proposal off capitol hill. The senate needs four more democrats to make it veto proof. Tracie potts, nbc news, washington. Were joined by mark murray, nbcs political editor. One called this the Mary Landrieu preservation act of 2014. Explain that. In louisiana, oil and energy are so important. So youre saying landrieu and her republican opponent try to oneup each other on something they already support. Theyre both supporting it. Theyre try to have a contest of who supports it more. Democrats certainly want to help and put Mary Landrieu in the best position possible. Im not necessarily sure this game of one up mansship is going to decide this. If there will be enough democrats that can push landrieu over the top of a race in which the original, she only got about 40 of the original vote. If republicans are still fired up after winning the senate majority, i think those are going to be the two biggest factors in this runoff. If there are enough democrats to support this, will the president veto it . It seeps clear from White House Press secretary josh earnest hes probably going to veto it. Hes been kind of a little cagey, keeping his options open. But if the idea would be if president obama does want to eventually approve the keystone xl pipeline, hes going to want something in return for it. Not necessarily having a vote. If all a sudden he gives the thumbs up, maybe next year will be because republicans decide to get Something Else in return for it. Just minutes ago, the Senate Republicans elected Mitch Mcconnell, as expected, i think, as majority leader. Does he take over as majority leader even before t new cong begins . No, it will start in january, for the 114th congress. All the members of congress new and old are in washington, d. C. Right now, having these elections now. Republicans are doing it for house and senate. Of course it was no surprise that mcconnell will be the majority leader next year. How much campaigning do they do for these leadership positions . Its only when theres a contested race. There was no other republican who is challenging mcconnell. When they feel like there is a challenger, theres a tremendous amount of jockeying. A lot of, hey, maybe ill put you on this committee if you support me. For Mitch Mcconnell and the other leadership races, when theres only one person on the ballot, its an easy decision to make.
