what more do we know about his condition? reporter: well, at this point, jose, it appears the senate minority leader is still in the hospital, recovering from this fall. his office has not given us an update outside of what they told us shortly after the news broke of this situation that he was dealing with last night. of course, mcconnell is 81 years old, he had health scares in the past, heart surgery, he fell in 2019 and broke his shoulder. so he has dealt with health issues and gotten past them before. but in this situation, it is a new issue that has cropped up and we re still waiting to get a status check as to how long he could possibly be out, what caused him to fall during this dinner last night here in washington. and how long this could potentially impact him being away from the united states senate. all of that are the questions we re still contining to ask, jose. in other news from capitol hill, a top health official said a significant data breach exposed per
and pentagon concerning the russian downing of a u.s. drone. new video shows when a pair of russian fighter jets approached the drone and brought it down. let s bring in oren liebermann and jeremy diamond. let s start with what the pentagon is saying about this new video. reporter: the video itself is pretty incredible. a close look at what happened early tuesday morning over the black sea. there are essentially two pieces to it. in the first one, a russian fighter jet makes a pass at a u.s. mq-9 reaper drone, dumping jet fuel. you see the drone itself is still operating. the propeller spinning, in the second clip of the video or the later part of the video, you see a russian fighter jet make another pass. you see the same dumping of jet fuel and this is where the russian jet collides with the u.s. drone, damaging its propeller and forcing it down. it s critical because this is what backs up the u.s. account of how this all played out over the course of 30 to 40 minutes o
High, a little bit lower than what weve seen in the last few days. But, again, all of these markets kind of waiting to see what the cpi signals today if inflations getting worse or not. The first couple of years, were in that seasonal oneoff situation or youre in a situation where you have higher prices moving their way through the line once again. Check out precious metals. Commodities across the board have been higher. Gold at another alltime high. You also had silver hitting its highest level since june of 2021. Copper at its highest level since the beginning of january since 1 18. Aluminum higher. All of these things reflecting commodities across the board. Cpi is a little hotter. Goods inflation is a little hotter. Well see. Weve had shares on the other side of the vote, what they thinks going to happen.

Dr. Fauci says a false slide into more hospitalizations and deaths is not inevitable but things dont look good. Just under 30,000 new infections every day and six states pushing down their infection curve. Dr. Fauci also taking issue with cdc guidelines. He says you can be certain, quote, some transmission of coronavirus comes through particles in the air, and dr. Fauci calling this sobering and stunning, those are his words. The United States just shy, just shy of 200,000 coronavirus deaths. 200,000 american lives lost, 35 times the number of casualties the country suffered in iraq and afghanistan. It is within shouting distance of the number of americans w
The current recommendations to avoid social gatherings and work from home expire. Heres what the president said during yesterdays briefing. I think we can say we have to be on that downside of that slope and heading to a very strong direction that this thing is gone. We could do it in phases. We can go to some areas which are much less affected than others but it would be nice to be able to open with a big bang and open up our country, certainly most of our country, and i think well do that soon.
