It trapped party foers on the second floor with only a pair of makeshift stairs made of booeden palettes and quickly blocked. There were only two known exits to the entire building. The flames burn something fiercely, the roof collapsed, bringing part of that second floor down, too. Can you just call any of us if youre around, something happened. We dont care. We just want to know if youre alive or not. Reporter so far, just seven of the victims identified, in addition to people attending the party, the warehouse was home to several tenants. Pictures on the warehouses website show a cluttered maze of art studios. No sprinklers, according to investigators.

There were reports there were complainted against this building. It was not zoned to have People Living there. But that was the case. So what went wrong here . How can it be prevented from happening in the future . The city of oakland is still looking at its history with this build and working with potential live work artist spaces. Chunt spaces for our artists. We have a vibrant community in oakland that we embrace. We want to make shoe were preventing disasters like this in the future. At this point, we have brought in federal partners with atf. And they have determined what they believe is the area of origin in the building, near the back wall of the building. And we have that area quarantined off. Theyre bringing in numerous 7 00 and 7 30 for them to arrive. And were hoping for more answers later today. We saw in many area photos the number the amount of trash, debris that was around that structure. Did that add, do you believe, to the blaze . Um, in this case, it was a lot of art. And personal projects. And design personal trash in this side yard. It didnt appear to be personal trash. It wasnt a hoarding situation per se. The heavy fire load was intense. And obviously would have a hard time for people to get out of the building. Such an emotional toll, maam, on everyone. The responders, as well. How are they doling with everything . I think everybody is dealing with it the best they can. We set up at our union hall yesterday for the anticipation of many firefighters that just wanted to kind of watch football together. And chill.

Joe manchin. Jont jon huntsman. And james stavridis, who was on Hillary Clintons short list for vp. We have a president here that wants to look at the best and brightest of america, regardless job will have to deal with the growing tension with china. After trump took a call from the president of taiwan. For four decades, u. S. President s have respected that by avoiding direct contact with the taiwanese president. President a obama can reach out to a murdering dictator in cuba in the last year and be hailed for doing it. And president elect takings a Courtesy Call from a democratically elected leader in taiwan and its a controversy. Reporter trump tweeted, did china ask us if it was okay to devalue their currency, making it hard for our companies to compete . Trump used twitter over the tweengd lash out at companies who moved jobs out of the country. And to lam saturday night live as unwatchable. Reporter and paul ryan said the president elects twitter tirades dont bother him at all. Who cares what he tweeted on some thursday night if we fix the countrys big problems . Thats the way i look at it. Reporter ryan, who has clashed with trump in the past say sa says he talks to him all the time. Theyre working on the agenda to take on in january. Health care and taxes. No question. You see the differences play out in terms of the policies. I think that is whats going on with this expanding list of secretary of state. Genuine divisions on where to go. Go from four to nine . It works on the apprentice. You start big and pare down. Lets ask martha raddatz. This is a big list. It could be bad news for the ones already on it. I guess you could, george. Admiral stavridis. He has experience. I think youll see him probably go back over the original list as well. And maybe mitt romney again. Well see. Could be a week or two away. Meantime, martha, this phone call to check to the taiwan neez you saw mike pence yesterday on this week kind of downplay this. This was a deliberate strategy. Any call to or from a president elect is a big deal. Especially when the phone line has been quiet for decades. It can be seen as way to send message to china with a bit of cover, since donald trump has not yet taken office. Po policy. Yet this puts china on notice that things may not be the same under a trump presidency. Now to a scary moment at a pizza restaurant. A gunman with an Assault Rifle targeting a washington, d. C. , spot, at the center of a fake news story about Hillary Clinton. Senior justice koernd Pierre Thomas is there in washington and has the details. Reporter this case shows how fake news can lead to a dangerous situation. Edgar welch has been and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. He showed up at the d. C. Pizza restaurant to get to the bottom of what appears to be an utterly bogus story about child abuse promoted on the internet. He alemedly pointed the gun and fired the weapon inside the restaurant.

Reporter opponents of the pipeline claim it would be hazardous and could damage the water of the nearby residents. Bernie saerpds tweeted in the year 2016, we should not continue to trample on native american sovereignty or become more dependant on fossil fuels. Congratulations to all our relatives at standing fought to make this happen. Reporter but the corporations behind the pipeline said in a statement overnight, they fully expect to complete the pipeline without additional rer rerouting. Nothing the administration did today changes that. One lawmaker says he was encouraged theyll have a new president next month. What youre talking about here is trump has shown support for the pipeline. Theyre celebrating and in he owns stock in the Company Building the pipeline. The trump transition wanted to make clear that has nothing to do with his decision. To amy with todays other top stories. You have a plane scare . Thats right.
