Information into cnn. The island of is looking for possible debris from missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370. They asked for help ann after flaperon was found on reunion island that does in fact belong to a boeing 777. And analysts will begin analyzing that to see if it is from the missing flight. So far at this stage, they have not yet find anything linked to mh 370. Teams from boeing and the u. S. National Transportation Safety board are heading to france to help identify that wing piece. We have more from outside the lab where the testing will take place. Reporter the Malaysian Transportation Ministry in a statement on sunday has confirmed that this flaperon is indeed from a 777 aircraft. What they havent said is whether its from mh370. That will be conducted here at a laboratory in the south of france where air crash investigators have been work for decades. They have the expertise and scientific and forensic tests that need to be done to confirm whether it is from the missing plane. The piece of what is believed to be a suitcase has been delivered to paris where French Police are taking care of that. On sunday speaking to australian media, warren tross says he doesnt believe it is likely to be from mh370. The flaperon had marine life on it and barnacles that included it had been in the water for a long time indeed. But this piece hadnt. But they are dna testing it. But they think its not likely to be from mh370. Experts from flying in from across the world and will meet first thing monday to start their analysis and coming here wednesday to verify whether or not this flaperon is from mh370. At this point lets bring in david malcow. He joins us from hong kong. We dont have solid confirmation any debris is from mh370 yet but we have a few leads that could be promising. Bring us up to speed on the latest on the investigation and the ongoing search. Reporter thats right. Of course ultimately with this flaperon and other pieces of potential debris washing up this is all about the search for the plane, the passengers and the truth and the question is will any of this get us closer to finding mh370. One of the questions that has come up they are not look at this until wednesday. Thats what investigators are saying publicly. One of the reasons is there are so many countries involved here they need to do this by the book. They need to agree on how theyre going to move forward. Once they start taking a look at this piece. It is confirmed to be from a 777, it becomes look for these unique identifiers, something on that flaperon that can tie it to mh370. Another thing that will happen and this may take some more time, errol is when they begin to take it apart to look at the damage and see what kind of clues that provides how about how this plane may or may have not gone down . Did it separate in the air or in the water but this becomes about the search for the plane and the passengers families 239 watching this closely. At tend of the day it is fundamentally a human tragedy. And malaysian officials pledged once again they will continue to search until they get 100 confirmation that what they found is mh370. But just tell us what kind of help malaysia is asking for from many nations that are along the indian ocean. Reporter it appears we are beginning to see the beginnings of what could be a second search area. First remember the underwater search area off the coast of australia. They have been doing a deep sea search there since late last year since october. Investigators in australia are confident and believe that the piece of debris washed up on the island of reunion reinforces it is consist where they are look. What the malaysians are asking for is for all the countries in the surrounding areas, the tiny island 140 miles northeast to begin to search as well and keep an eye out. We dont know if its going to take an official form with planes and boats or Community Based with people looking on the shorelines. At the end of this all it becomes about the search for the truth. It is unclear if any of this debris even if it is confirmed if it can shed additional light on the resting place of the aircraft. We will continue to way and see, david molko live for us in hong kong. Now to other stories. An oxford researchers has confirmed that jericho the line onis lion is alive and well. As David Mckenzie reports zimbabwe is cracking down on hunting. Reporter early reports that jericho the lion was killed turned out to be false. The Oxford University Research Group that tracks these lions say he is doing just fine. Now, zimbabwe has appeared to tightened up on hunting in the country. They banned all kinds of hunting on the border of Hwange National park and they banned bow hunting outright. It is with a bow that walt palmer shot cecil the lion last month. Zimbabwe officials are trying to extradite him from the u. S. To zimbabwe but that might be a tall order. The guide and hunter he hired face charges this week in zimbabwe and they could spend ten years in jail if found guilty. Now to the migrant crisis in europe. French police blocked migrants trying to gain access to the euro tunnel on sunday night. People have stepped up attempts to cross the tunnel in recent weeks. French officials have pledged 11 million to improve security there around the tunnel. Jim bitterman joins us live with more from paris with more. We are used to seeing the migrant make the dangerous journey across the mediterranean but why an uptick in an i tempt a cross the English Channel in these past few weeks . Reporter one of the things is the migrants have been making their way north to calais for many many months now. This problem has been ongoing for a couple of years now. And nobody has come to terms with it. Its become a political football where the french are saying the british should do more and the british are saying the paris should do more. And we have Regional Elections on in france right now. And one person is suggesting if the british dont like the way the french are handling it just let them come into britain totally illegally. And so thats one drastic solution. No one is suggesting they will do that. Over the weekend a joint editorial and the two of them said that basically the governments of both countries are concentrating on solving the problem. Money is one way to go at it. And they are going to try to figure out ways of stopping the flow towards the tunnel to begin with. And its a problem thats a difficult one to solve easily and led to great delays across the tunnel. People cant get across as quickly as they might want to. As is true with the migrants from north africa the issue is a political and economic one and multinational in a way. When you think of new policies likely to be announced today you wonder how specific it will get and if new policies are needed or if security procedures need to be stepped up at the tunnel. Reporter in fact one of the things that the french government has said is the euro tunnel people are not doing enough in terms of providing security. And there are calls for the European Union to do more. Basically, its a problem that Everybody Knows has to be addressed especially after this surge of migrants trying to get across to britain. I think theres a much greater awareness on a political level they have to do something. The question is what . Thats where i think the officials are scratching their heads to do something that is meaningful. Putting more police on the job could help. For example over the weekend, there was a sitdown on the main access routes to the road access to the euro tunnel from calais and that blocked the traffics and caused problems for people that wanted to get across. In any case police can help but they cant do everything. The latest information there from Jim Bitterman live in paris. Jim, thanks. A mexican photojournalist who left his home last month to escape threats has been found dead. Ruben open Ruben Espinoza worked in vera cruise where 13 journalists have been killed in the last five years. The u. S. President plans to announce an ambitious Climate Change program on monday. Also facing a financial crisis with unusual limitations. Coming up for you, what sets puerto rico apart as it struggles with debt. Stay with us. Isnt it beautiful when things just come together . Build a beautiful website with squarespace. Welcome back. U. S. President Barack Obamas launching a major Climate Change plan thats taking aim at the nations coalburning power plants. The proposal will set the firstever standards for the industry to limit Carbon Pollution and seeks to reduce emissions by 32 over the next five years. Climate change is not a problem for another generation not any more. Thats why on monday my administration will release the final version of americas Clean Power Plan. The biggest, most important step weve ever taken to combat Climate Change. Now this move will likely face a lot of resistance from coal industry supporters and republican lawmakers as well. I spoke to ben ferguson earlier about the political impact of this proposal. Ben ferguson joins us now from dallas to talk about this and really what to expect. Ben, great to see you. President obama not getting the memo he is supposed to be a lame duck here in his last few years as president poised to push for epa regulations to limit u. S. Carbon emissions. I imagine the rest of the world will be happy but how stiff will Republican Opposition be . I dont know if its just going to be Republican Opposition there does not seem to be an appetite for this among democrats running for reelection. This has not been a top ten issue for Hillary Clinton or bernie sanders. I think this is more about legacy building or legacy hunting for this president. If he really wanted to accomplish this this should have been done before the midterms and early on in the presidency when he had control of the house and senate. I think he needs to check his own backyard and see if there is a mandate for this. But then again its also a bit of a chess move when you think about it. The president is using his executive platform while he can to push these issues and also consider the timing. Weve got republican debates coming up for the next few weeks. This makes an issue that wasnt central to the Campaign Something to talk about. Do you think there is a strategy to raise this issue before republicans ask the voters to vote for them . I think there is gamesmanship with this issue but its i dont think this is something the republican candidates are going to spend much time on. We are leading the world when it comes to Climate Change and hold ourselves to Higher Standards than 99 of the countries around the world and put more money into Green Alternative Energy than any other modern country in the world as well. I think a lot of people say we are doing a lot. However many of the republicans are going to make it clear we dont want to stifle american factories and infrastructure here by going to Green Alternative Energy which has not been affordable and has not worked. We gave out governmentbacked loans for hundreds of millions of dollars and those companies no longer exist. I think the republicans will fight back on this and say if we implement this its going to push jobs overseas and thats what the opposite of what the candidates will say they want to do if they are president of the United States. And the opposition has characterized these efforts as a be war on coal. But what we understand from this plan is that similar to obamacare if states dont like what the federal plan is they can announce their own plan announce it by 2018 and implement it by 2022. Wont this at the very least get states coming up with their own plan should they dislike the obama plan . It will get the states to come up with plans. But i think the states will start to fight this. They dont like the federal government telling them what they can do. It will play into the governors that are running for this in the gop primary saying we are tired of the federal government overstepping their boundaries in our states. A lot of states and swing states early on in the primaries are going to be absolutely against this. I think ultimately what this real discussion is if you get rid of coal how much is it going to cost the average american for that ideal and idea when it comes to the energy they have to purchase which has been going up. We know where the gas prices are. But instability in the world and heating and Natural Gas Prices where they are, a lot of people will say we cant afford this ideal right now. And the Obama Administration saying that it will save the average american money on their power bills. But this debate will continue and it will be a heated one. Thanks for talk today. Well talk again soon. Thanks. Puerto rico is in default for the first time. The commonwealth failed to make a payment to its Public Finance corporation over the weekend. Thats a small part of the islands debt. The National Economic correspondent for the wall street journal joins us from d. C. To talk about this. Puerto rico is a u. S. Commonwealth. How does it structure lead to this crisis . Reporter in a few dimensions errol. Because they are not a state and they have amassed all this debt they are not able to use the bankrupt restructuring process that is available to say, detroit. When detroit was in a similar situation two years ago their municipalities were able to file for chapter 9 under the u. S. Bankruptcy code. Because puerto rico is a territory and not a state they dont have access to that bankruptcy code. There is a movement to change the law so that puerto rico can restructure their deads in the same way that cities in the United States can. Until that happens you have 16 entities in puerto rico that have issued debt and there is no formal way to restructure that debt if puerto rico cant pay it. And Puerto Ricans and politicians have lobbied for equal stat us under u. S. Law. What about the political dimension to all. This if residents here cant vote does that play into this all . That is an important dimension here. Because puerto rico doesnt have representation in congress they dont have a vote. There hasnt been a lot of interest or urgency to tackle this. One exception is there have been millions of puerto ricoensans have come to the United States and settled in florida. Florida is important in the president ial election next year and Puerto Ricans can play a swing vote there. If you are running for president youre going to have to Pay Attention to this issue because Puerto Ricans carry important political sway. The same way we have seen with cubanamericans in past elections in miami. Thats going to raise the attention and profile of this issue. And considering how important florida is in the u. S. President ial election and its 25 electoral votes, considering how unique this is what is the plan to pay the 72 billion of debt . Right now the government in puerto rico is in talks with bond holders about a way to restructure the debt. I think both sides agree there needs to be a economic reform in puerto rico. It dates to 2006. They have lost a Human Capital and business capital. Because Puerto Ricans are american citizens they can come to the United States. And thats what has happened. Hundreds of thousands of residents have left to the United States in search of jobs and its going to require right now the simple fact is that the government is spending more money than it collects. They have to raise taxes or overhaul the tax system to collect more revenue. They may have to cut Government Services but that will exacerbate the recession that puerto rico has faced. It will be coming up with a fiveyear plan a oneyear plan frankly to set different triggers that have to be met so puerto rico can do what it has to do. Certainly its a grim economic picture at the moment. Thanks for breaking it down for us. Thanks for having me, errol.
