His phone call with taiwans president touched off something of a weekend diplomatic fire storm with china and broke decades of president ial he questioned china about currency devaluation and trade deals with the u. S. And military expansion into the south china sea. Major garrett looks at the mixed signals from the president elect. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Back story here. The u. S. Government has for almost four decades followed a socalled one china policy. That means recognizing taiwan through defense contracts and informal contacts. But not as a separate government with its own diplomatic standing. Well, when mr.

Early sunday, trump turned his the deal announced with carrier to save some 800 jobs from going to mexico. Again via twitter. The president elect issued a warning to companies thinking of taking their business elsewhere. Any business that leaves our country for another country fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country and then thinks it will sell its product back into the u. S. , he wrote, is wrong. The saga over secretary of state is likely to continue for days, as no consensus has emerged within mr. Trumps inner the Transition Team announced this morning that former neurosurgeon and former rival to trump ben carson is named as secretary of housing and development.

Have turned violent but on sunday when people found out the construction had been halted, they celebrated. Trump Transition Team spent some time arranging this call in hopes it would signal its willingness to challenge china. Renzi, the Prime Minister of italy said the people have spoken and turn in his resignation to italys president today. Washington showed love last night at the Kennedy Center honors. Each of them have given so much to america and the world. Tonight, in a small way, we give back. Hogan what a catch tom brady has now become the nfls alltime winningest quarterback with 201 career wins that is special. Announcer this mornings eye opener at 8 00 is sponsored by pepsi. Im charlie rose with Norah Odonnell and josh elliott of gayle is off. The search inside a burned out oakland warehouse is suspended this morning due to dangerous conditions. A criminal investigation is under way into what caused the devastating fire during a friday night dance party. At least 33 people were killed. Most victims are believed to be in their 20s and 30s. We know the names of only seven of them. Police say the youngest victim was 17. The building nicknamed ghost ship was last permitted for as a warehouse but had been converted into a living space for artists. The landlords daughter reportedly says they didnt know people were living there. The warehouse had few exits and was filled with wood. There was no sprinkler system. We spoke to one of the organizers of fridays event who describes how quickly the flames grew. Once i could see the flames from the front door, i mean, that is kind of when i knew that it was it was you know, i had an idea of how severe, but when the Fire Department came was really an intense moment. Officials say only about 40 of the warehouse has been searched. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Meanwhile, president elect trump is blasting china after his phone call with the president of taiwan caused a weekend uproar. Mr. Trump went on twitter last night attacking china over the value of its currency, taxing u. S. Products, and its military buildup in the south china sea. Fridays phone call was the first between taiwans president and any american leader since 1979. China said this morning the one china policy, recognizing chinese sovereignty over the taiwan. Ian bremmer is the founding president of a consulting company. It is reported that they thought long and hard about doing this. So it was intentional . Is that your reading of it . My reading is there are few people in the Transition Team around trump that have been talking to the taiwanese for sometime and love the idea of reaching out. I dont believe that trump had the sense personally by having a phone call as president elect with the taiwanese president that he was setting policy. Somebody said that to him . Trying to accomplish and how coherent the team is on policy. The question is what is the impact of it . I think the impact is significant. To the extent there is any real red line for them with the United States, its taiwan and the new nationalist government in taiwan. So this is going to start the u. S. china relationship off in a much more contentious manner. The fact trump followed it up currency manipulation and south china on sea military expansion are red rags for a u. S. china relationship. I dont have a problem with a tough line against china if its wellthought through but i was in asia, as you know. When you go talk to the singapore Prime Minister or other allies in the region, they see the Transpacific Partnership has failed but dont see trump at all as someone who is a strong and consistent ally for them. So the United States could be picking a fight with china. Our allies havent been brought into this one bit. Whether it was out of ignorance or some plan to send a message to china, what is the downside diplomatically . What could be the repercussions . There is one thing in Foreign Policy that you need to get right as the president today. Its the u. S. china relationship. The most important bilaterally if we are not working with them and the allies dont think they are consistent they will tilt towards china. The world we have evolved the past decade is the one where american corporations feel they can do business in all of these country answer gets harder. China is the leading trade partner for every country in asia, not the United States any more. The negotiating environment is getting harder. Another way to send a message to china is the u. S. Relationship with japan. Sure. What do we see there with the Trump Administration . I think with abe getting right on a plane and flying over and giving him a golf club, very different from merkel saying we want to make sure the values are good, the strongest u. S. Ally in the world under a Trump Administration may well be shinzo in japan. That will not get you what it used to. Call and resulting furor. More likely he appoints a experienced secretary of state. What to make in this case . The fact giuliani is clearly who trump wanted in the early days but recognize he doesnt have the capacity to do the job, they have expanded the list and looking for other people and not the way trump wants to run his red rose rally. The new people he is talking to are pretty competent and coherent. Youre talking about jon huntsman and David Petraeus. Whatever you think about them, these are people with real Life Experience and therapy treated seriously when they travel outside of the u. S. Let me come back to your point, though. My impression is before this incident that our allies in the pacific wanted us to stand up to china because they feared the encroachment of china. Thats true. And one of the ways they want us to stand up to china wasnt just militarily. It was the most important United States tried to set up for decades. The Transpacific Partnership which trump has reiterated he is out day one. Wants nothing to do with it. Literally every american ally in asia, including mr. Abe, but big Political Capital on the line to get tpp done. In the case of abe, he doesnt have any internal opposition either within his party or outside. He can come to the u. S. And talk to trump and doesnt even mention its not a problem for him. But for every other ally, like in south korea where they are about to get than impeache president , its a real problem. Not because of trade . Not because of trade but the point its much harder for them say, oh, its no big deal that trump isnt Going Forward with a really big strategic deal that was going to allow us to be more in align with the United States. Thanks. Ian bremmer, appreciate you being here. Two churches with a complicated past are trying to build a racial divide. One daughter said follow and one daughter said why .

Most americans do feel the and this years contentious president ial election certainly didnt help. In georgia there are two pastors in the city of macon who are trying to heal the racial divide by bringing their churches together. Put your hands together reporter its sunday more than in macon, georgia, and first bapive church is ma itista joyful noise and around the corner the First Baptist church is starting their worship. Like many churches in america, is pretty much black and white. Most people are familiar with what dr. Martin luther king said the worship hour is the worship hour. Is that still the case . I think so. I also think that we wouldnt worry so much about that one hour a week of being divided if we werent so divided the other hours of the week. Reporter pastor scott time for their congregations to know each other because they not only share name but a past church. What is the name of your church . First Baptist Church of christ. Reporter started when . 1826. Reporter what is the name of your church . First Baptist Church, 1826. Reporter 1826 . Yes. Reporter there can only be one we came out of that church.
