CNNW New Day May 20, 2015

Some years. Reporter the manufacturer issued a statement saying it remains committed to consumer safety but like the government it does not yet know why the airbags are exploding. Although takata has devoted tremendous resources with some of the leading researchers, its clear this is a complex issue which takes time to fully evaluate. You want to know is your car on the list go to safercar. Gov have your vehicle Identification Number the v. I. N. Number you can put it in and it will tell you if your cars on the list. I will tell you alisyn. You may want to go to this website more than once. I did this last night and at the end it said check back to make sure your car hasnt been added to the list because this story is developing. It is not done yet. Alisyn. Oh boy. We can only imagine if that website can handle all the capacity its going to get this morning. Thanks so much, tom. We want to bring in Joan Claybrook she was in the 1981 ford recall previously the largest ever until now. Thanks so much for being on new day. Thank you. 34 million vehicles. What does that even look like . Its so monumental. Does every one of those cars need to be off the road today . They do. But theyre not going to be because this is such a huge recall its going to take years really to carry it out. As we were saying in 1981 the previous recall of i think 21 million cars i think it was ford you were at the helm and it got bogged down in all sorts of politics. What goes into a recall of this magnitude . Well this has been a big fight with takata as we know. And the government has had to press were very grateful to Mark Rosekind the new administrator of the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grappling with this and for finding takata pushing them and enforcing the law and being the cop on the beat. So takata has now conceded it has a defect. And its time to recall these vehicles. And its going to take years to do it because 34 million new airbags have to be manufactured. And then replaced in the vehicles. So its going to take years. But what does that mean for drivers who may be driving around with an airbag that if it deploys sprays shrapnel on the passengers . Well what that means is everyone should go to the website at the department of transportation safercar. Gov and find if their car has a takata airbag. And if it does they should be in contact with their dealer as soon as possible to see how fast they can get a replacement. I do know that honda has contracted with another airbag manufacturer to try and get Replacement Parts faster. So you want to keep in touch and call your dealer as soon as possible. Can we talk about the timeline of this . Because honda knew that there were issues in 2008 and began trying to address them. Why just yesterday did takata issue this recall . Well youll have to ask the company that question. I think that they made a huge mistake. If they had called the vehicles back in 2008 when they first really knew there was a problem, then they would have a much cheaper and much more efficient recall back then. Now its just so humongous that people are at risk and i know were going to see more deaths and injuries. This effects a whole bunch of different cars, different models models. Bmw, Chrysler Nissan mitsubishi ford gm Toyota Subaru mazda, its almost as if there are no cars that arent effected by this. Again, if youre a driver waking up is it safe to drive your car this morning . It is. And its a recall conundrum about whether or not to disconnect your airbag so that you dont have this problem or to leave it hooked up. I think you have to leave it hooked up because you may have a crash where the airbag is desperately needed. So you want to leave it hooked up. But on the other hand it is a deadly system that not every single airbag is defective, just some of them are. We doept know exactly which ones. Thats a great point. Because there have been six deaths that we know of worldwide connected to these airbags. In other words it is extremely rare. Yes, it is rare. So the likelihood of any particular airbag at any particular point in time is going to have this problem is small. But on the other hand it could happen. And so thats why manufacturers when they delay these recalls are really harming the public and harming themselves. Thats why i believe the department of transportation should be the tough cop on the beat. When they find a problem initially they should force manufacturers to do recalls early on. And when they leave it for a long period of time it becomes massive and difficult and expensive. And harmful to the public. Okay. So your advice is do not disconnect your airbag. You can continue to drive today, but as soon as possible check the website and contact the dealership. Thats correct. Miss Joan Claybrook, thanks so much for all your expertise. We appreciate you being on. Thanks so much. If you think your car might be effected start a preliminary check by going to safercar. Gov, then do slash rs slash takata. Chris, who knows when parts will become available. Well how long is going to be a big question there, but at least we know about it now, alisyn. Also breaking overnight, north korea claiming Nuclear Weapons are within its rich. Pyongyang says the country has achieved a key step towards placing a Nuclear Warhead on a missile. Will ripley joins us from tokyo with breaking details. Will what do we know . Reporter this is a troubling development, chris. We saw these warning signs when we were in north korea a short time ago. While i was in the country the state announced they had successfully launched a test missile from a submarine. Now a new announcement the north korea also says they have the ability to take Nuclear Bombs and make them small enough to fit on a Ballistic Missile. Ballistic missile that pyongyang says would have the capability of reaching the u. S. Of course all of this very troubling not only for the United States which is north koreas number one sworn enemy. They talked about it the whole time we were on the ground there, but also the regional allies of the u. S. South korea, japan, countries that are within gunshot of north korea now have a new reason to be concerned. And there are more signs this country may be pulling back and trying to isolate itself more from the International Community after north korea abruptly canceled a trip to the dmzs kesong industrial complex. They canceled without notice showing they clearly dont want to do any talking with the International Community even as they step up rhetoric. The problem with north korea is that they lie, right . They spin things out there just to intimidate everybody else and get us yapping like this. We think about the submarine photos of something supposedly being launched turns out they were doctored. What is the believability on this . Reporter well many experts including the United States and china believe north korea does possess Nuclear Weapons. Now, the u. N. And the pentagon also does believe and theyre actually talking about this back in april that north korea has the ability to miniaturize Nuclear Weapons. However, the accuracy of their Ballistic Missile, the number of weapons that they may possess, of course there are suspicions that the north does tend to embellish, but the bottom line here chris, this country which doesnt have enough money to feed its own people is investing a tremendous amount of money in its military program specifically its Nuclear Program. They are very serious about developing Nuclear Weapons and have no plans to back down chris. So it does seem safe to say its not an if but a when question. Well stay on it. Will thank you very much. To iraq now where isis is tightening its grip on ramadi and now pressing east. Top Iraqi Government officials are hoping to stop the terrorist advance by moving even more fighters into the area. Cnn International Correspondent arwa damon has more live from jordan. Reporter good morning, michaela. The big problem is where to get a capable fighting force from because it most certainly does not exist within the ranks of the Iraqi Security forces themselves. And therefore we do have the government now calling for more of those shia Para Military units to move to an area called habania. Theres a military base there and located between ramadi and fallujah. Isis seems to be focusing its attacks now on smaller towns that are to the east of ramadi. Isis does not necessarily have to make a significant push toward baghdad at this stage. All it has to do is bog the iraqi forces down trying to defend the various front lines that could potentially threaten the capital. The Iraqi Government is also saying at this stage that it is finally going to make a serious attempt to arm up the sunni tribes all of which, yes, will further complicate the battlefield given that there is no real cohesive chain of command between the various different entities that do make up the force that is trying to make a stance against isis but at this stage the Iraqi Government does not have a choice. The u. S. Also is going to have to somehow seriously revise its socalled strategy at this stage. If it does want to see isis pushed back especially when it comes to the dynamics and umbar province. Lets talk about that. Despite that the backlash from the white house officials insist that president obamas use of air strikes on key isis targets while relying on Iraqi Ground Forces has yielded gains in retaking ramadi. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty at the white house. Isdoes not necessitate guarding their strategy. A lot of criticism from republicans, even the president s own former secretary of defense who say they do need a strategy when talking about the broader fight over isis. Speaker of the house john boehner saying hope is not a strategy and the white house pushing back saying they were always clear this would be a long slog but theyre clearly on the defensive. Are we going to light our hair on fire every time theres a setback in the campaign against isil . Or are we going to take very seriously our responsibility to evaluate those areas where we succeed and evaluate where steps are necessary for us to change our strategy where weve sustained setbacks. On tuesday president obama met not only with his secretary of defense but his Broader National Security team to assess the situation. And while white house aides say they do not have a formal review of the strategy going on emphasis there of course on formal that they are looking on ways where they can help the iraqiled operation including accelerating training and equipping local tribes. Chris, thats in addition to the ongoing Coalition Air strikes. Sunlen thank you very much. We have new developments on that biker war in texas that has police and gangs worried about what comes next. Cnns nick valencia live in waco. What are these developments . Reporter good morning, chris. New overnight one of the gangs involved in sundays incident has decided to cancel its annual event outside of waco texas. This based on the suggestion of the local sheriff. More than 300 bikers were expected to attend. Also new this Morning Police have brought back into custody three of the men that were originally arrested under a different case number brought in on a 50,000 bond as we have been reporting many of those that are in custody all of those i should say in custody have been held on 1 million bond Jim Harris Juan Garcia and drew king all taken back into custody with the help of the u. S. Marshal service. Also this morning things at the scene creeping back to normal. Yesterday police removing many of the vehicles left behind after sundays incident. They were removing some heavy weapons from those cars. This is the first day weve seen a sort of smaller perimeter around the strip mall. Police hope its a sign of better developments here to come. Michaela. All right, nick. Well be watching this and discussing more about it on our show. Hillary clinton meanwhile doing something she hasnt done for nearly a month, talking to the media. At a Campaign Stop in iowa clinton told reporters she made a mistake when she supported the iraq war. She also called for the speedy release of her emails from the days as secretary of state. I have said repeatedly i want those emails out. Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than i do. I respect the state department. They have their process that they do for everybody not just for me. But anything that they might do to expedite that process i heartily support. Also this morning the wall street journal reporting that when clinton was secretary of state her staff scrutinize sometimes blocked the release of politically sensitive documents that were legally requested as public records. A medical drama unfolding for the family of Vice President biden. His son beau is at Walter Reed Medical Center at this hour. No word on what hes being treated for, but a source calls the situation serious. The younger biden is the former attorney general of delaware. And he has a history of medical trouble including a mild stroke in 2010 and a brain lesion in 2013. Certainly very concerning. We send our best thoughts to the family. Tough news. He didnt just get into the hospital but theres not a lot of information. He is a very special guy. He had a very bright political future. Hopefully he still does. Our thoughts go to the biden family. Beau biden is much more than a Vice President bidens son. We know isis has taken ramadi. Some say this is a big deal. The Administration Says not really. But now that these big meetings about strategy and potentially changing course so whats the deal . And what are the options . We have answers for you on that ahead. And it seemed like the perfect crime right out of a movie. A 300 million jewel heist in london the thieves vanishing without a trace until now. How police cracked the case ahead. Can a business have a mind . A subconscious. A knack for predicting the future. Reflexes faster than the speed of thought. Can a business have a spirit . Can a business have a soul . Can a business be. Alive . music im supposed to tell you how it feels when you book the perfect Family Vacation on hotels. Com. But i think hes kinda nailing it. music hotels. Com. They dont need me right now. Oh, i love game night. Ooh, its a house and a car so far, youre horrible at this, flo. Yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. House car oh, raise the roof no one .

Oh, oh, hats on hamburgers dancing drivein Movie Theater home and auto. Lamp squares. Stupid, dumb. Lines. [ alarm rings ] no home and auto bundle from progressive. Saves you money. Yay, game night, so much fun. Im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. The Coalition Strategy the u. S. Strategy coming under scrutiny with this news that isis has taken ramadi. The white house is now saying it may accelerate training sunni fighters but is resisting other changes. Is this the right course . Do they need to change . Is this the right change if they do have to change . Lets bring in
