And knockout, rowdy Ronda Rouseys lightningquick victory of 34 seconds. What shes saying about her big win this morning and a look at her very ambitious plans for the future. Hey, good morning, everybody, lets get right to our top story. What may be another intriguing discovery involving the missing Malaysian Air flight 370. Look at these images coming in from the island off the coast of africa. Where something new, a small metallic object has been found on the beach there. Reportedly with chinese and mandarin writing on it. It is very early, of course. We dont know whether this object is in fact from that missing plane. If confirmed, it would be remarkable. Two objects washing ashore on a Little Islands thousands of miles from where searchers had been looking for that plane. That New Discovery comes just days after a piece of the planes wing was found on a beach. It has arrived under heavy guard in france, where it will be analyzed in the coming days. So, do we now have two big clues to this aviation mystery . Our coverage begins this morning here with abcs bob woodruff. Reporter well, dan, good morning. This new piece of evidence is being described as a small, metallic object with ideograms. It is still very unclear if it was part of flight 370 but it is another possible piece of evidence. This New Discovery on the beach of reunion island could provide more important clues of what happened to flight 370. This new small metallic object was found on the same day when this part of a wing was discovered, which is now 5,000 miles away at a Defense Ministry laboratory in france waiting for analysis. Which will begin on wednesday. As for the newly discovered debris, apparently there are object. As for part of the wing, now in france, analysts have found these numbers and letters. 657bb identifying it coming from a flight 777. Its wait as the Malaysian Airplane was. We know of no other 777s. Reporter while the wing part was white, the new debris could have other kind of clues, perhaps colors. Look at this picture of colors, red and white stripes. The man who found these items didnt report it before now because he didnt see the news until yesterday. All of this debris could be floating for 17 months, a large system of circular ocean currents that normally move counterclockwise. All of the debris, including this large part of the wing, are small dots on the gigantic sea, very difficult to see. If you look at this piece of metal, there are barnacles all around the top, which would submerged. And it was probably floating just below, just out of sight. Reporter so, now, with more debris being discovered, the next, most important concentration will be on finding the plane itself, this debris, of course, was floating on top of the sea, more likely that the plane itself is on the bottom of the sea, which means thousands of miles away, probably much closer to australia. Paula. All right, bob, thank you. And we want to turn things back to our aviation consultant steve ganyard. First and foremost, this cant be coincidental. What are the chances two pieces of debris are found on the same Remote Island in the same week . Paula, i think, on one hand, if we found one piece of debris that there are others probably with it. Because these currents arent going to split whatever was floating or whatever was left from the mishap itself. I think we may find other pieces. On the other hand, i think we need to be careful. Because, now, every piece of garbage in the indian ocean is going to look like a 777 piece. We need to manage our expectations here. Lets get this back to to the Forensic Laboratory in france and see if its a piece of the missing aircraft. If these pieces turn out to be from that doomed plane, how difficult will it be to figure out what brought it down . Well, think of when you do mishap investigations, its like a crime scene investigation. They use all sort of forensics. Theyll look at the metal and how the metal was damaged. You know, their engineers and scientists can go back in and they can look at torsional twisting. How metal tears. There are clues they can get out of these pieces. But, in terms of helping us go back and find out what bob was talking about where the rest of the airplane is, on the bottom of the ocean, probably 1,000 miles off of australia, these parts really arent going to help us find where that airplane is now. All right, as has been the case since mh370 has gone missing, more questions than answers this morning. Steve, thank you for joining us. Dan . Were going to move now to the front lines of the hot, dry fiery nightmare in the american west. Dozen of wildfires are burning, most sparked by lightning strikes and fueled by dry heat. This morning, the governor has declared a record drought has turned much lets go to kayna whitworth, good morning to you. Reporter dan, good morning to you. Unfortunately, those words are true, but cal fire has the largest firefighting force in the world. Now, firefighters up north, they are desperate for help. They have been working in 24hour shifts for 21 days. And once the governor declared a state of emergency, that means theyre not going home any time soon. Overnight a race against time as over 8,000 firefighters battled 21 wildfires tearing across california. The flames, claiming the life of one firefighter. Unfortunately, theres tragic occurrences that do occur. Reporter californias biggest blaze growing overnight, the rocky fire threatening hundreds of homes, stretching more than 27,000 acres, only 5 contained. Now, we shifted a bit where we dont have those high winds from the knot. Reporter two people including a california Highway Patrol officer injured in this inferno sparked by a car crash. The scene all too familiar for residents in southern california, it was here, 3500 acres along with cars and homes scorched by a fastmoving blaze just last month. This morning, some good news for firefighters battling the willow fire, officials believe the worst of this fire is likely behind them. Crews containing 50 of the blaze that has ripped through more than 5,000 acres. Now this is one of 12 bases placed throughout this state and the idea here is that they can respond to any fire that breaks out within 20 minutes, but paula, compared to this time last year, they have already responded to a thousand more fires. Kayna, thank you. We want to move to the political battlefield now, and news that could shake up the democratic nomination, joe biden may jump into the ring. Abcs mary bruce is at the white house, and mary, this would certainly shake up the race. Hey, paula, good morning. Well, nothing has been decided yet, but many have voiced concerns there arent more candidates on the democratic side, now it seems that the Vice President could change that. This morning, joe biden isnt saying yes, but he isnt saying no to a possible run at the white house. His political machine is gearing up. Hi, how are you . Reporter abc news has learned the Vice President s chief of staff is quietly talking to biden supporters, and democratic donors, clearing the way for a possible president ial campaign. The Vice President hasnt indicated yet if hes in or out. But its no secret that hes interested. Yes, theres a chance. Our nation needs my father, my hero, joe biden. Reporter one thing reportedly weighing heavily on his mind, his son beaus dying wish. The New York Times reporting, on his death bed, beau had a mission, he tried to make his father promise to run. So help me god. Reporter biden is an experienced campaigner. If he runs, it would be his third attempt at the white house. So, give me a break. Reporter but hes also had his fair share of stumbles. But back rubs to biden is a gaffemaking machine. But, though, oh that joe moments is part of his political charm. Happy new year. Reporter the latest polling shows biden with his highest favorability rating in seven years, highest than any other democrat already in the race. If he decides to jump in, political speaking, that would be a big deal. Dan. All right, mary bruce, thank you. Obviously, this would be an earthquake in the race for president. Lets bring in ashess chief White House Correspondent jon karl, in washington, who will be hosting this week later this morning. Jon, good morning, my friend. How likely is it really, lets get a reality check how likely is it that biden is going to run . Looking at this. There are people in his inner possible run. I have talked to several longtime biden advisers who are divided. But one told me that he believes that biden is 90 in. Wow, that certainly sounds like hes going to do it. But let me ask what the consequences are likely to be, as we know Hillary Clinton has had more time to raise money, and build an organization, how serious a threat will biden be . Well, look, huge obstacles, getting in so late, without the organization and without the money. Biden has run for president twice, did not do well at all in either of those campaigns. There are signs that Hillary Clinton is vulnerable and biden would be a force in this race from the start. Hell undoubtedly be a serious challenger, pose a serious threat to Hillary Clinton. Shaping up to an extremely interesting year. Youll be covering it this morning. Much more on the race to the white house, plus, an interview with the current republican frontrunner donald trump coming up later this morning on this week. Right here on abc. Paula, over to you.
