The sun is setting over the mediterranean as crews in the air and on the water continue to search for evidence from doomed flight 804. Two days after all 66 aboard the paris to cairo flight lost their lives, investigators do not know what if any role terrorism may or may not have played. This morning, conflicting reports are out as to whether the crucial black boxes have been located. We have been on this story since the beginning and greg palkot joins us with the very latest. Reporter we are getting our first glimpse of the first debris recovered from that doomed egyptair flight 804. Among the items recovered in the past couple of days, bits of the fuselage of the plane, life preservers, parts of plane seats, luggage and other personal items, and yes, sadly, human remains as you noted, 66
Taiwan since 1979. The u. S. Does not formally recognize taiwan as an independent state. And backs beijings claim that taiwan is a part of china. But chinese officials fear this phone call may have signaled otherwise. Trump is downplaying that call. And as having any further implications tweeting this, quote, the president of taiwan called me today to wish me congratulations on winning the presidency. Thank you. Meanwhile, trumps Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway says this was no different than other previous phone calls between president and World Leaders. This president elect, im pretty certain that president elect obama spoke to World Leaders in preparation for taking over as president of the United States and commander in chief. I cant imagine he was asked if he had been properly and fully briefed considering he had little experience himself. This is a break with u. S. Policy. This is suncharted waters for decades. Anderson, president elect trump is fully briefed and fully knowledgea
Talking strategy with democrats on how to salvage the Health Care Overhaul thats a big part of his legacy. Lets begin with our senior political reporter, manu raju, hes in the middle of the action, good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. President obama just walked into this meeting 20 minutes ago to meet with house and Senate Democrats in trying to urge them to stand firm against any efforts to repeal his law. This is expected to be a pep rally of sorts, a meeting of the minds. Democrats here are largely united behind this approach to try to stand against any efforts to dismantle this law and presumably to block any efforts to replace the law. Democratic leaders do not want to work with republicans in replacing the law. Obama is walking in. We had a chance to ask him does he think his party should work with republicans on the law after the repeal takes place. He heard the question, didnt answer it, he said happy new year instead and walked into the meeting. Not all democrats agree
While many medical Industry Groups including the ama oppose the current plan. Jon lets go live to john roberts for an update. Good morning to you. The president continues with a hardsell on the bill here at the white house. Groups like americans for prosperity, freedom works, club for growth, heritage action, tea party patriots, a number of different groups, it doesnt look like he changed any minds. An email sent out by the president im furious. For years these frauds have lied to our faces. They promised to repeal obamacare and know that they are in power, theyre starting to back down. This is outrageous. Conservatives like the tax credit, they think thats another entitlement. I dont like the fact that there is no provision in phase one to sell insurance across state lines. Nothing to bring on the cost of drugs, medical care. Americans for prosperity say they want the tax credit killed and they want to separate out all the other provisions and have Congress Vote on them separately. Ho
