Pam and steve all of the streets were opened just after 9 this evening when the evacuation orders were dropped. That being said there is still work that is taking place on the roof of this building in this distance. You cant see the work from this angle but you can see the lights that are on. There were a number of different stories about what happened out there today but heres what fire crews are saying tonight. They got a call after workers from the building youre looking at alerted them that a strut used to hold up a platform gave away on the top of the building. That platform then began leaning at a 15 degree angle. There is a 30 ton concrete pump on the platform that was being used. There were fears that something could fall off. Streets were closed off and 16 buildings evacuated. Fire crews say the platform and the pump are both secure tonight. I asked crewswhy all the stories. Out here live you can see the streets are now open and people are able to go back into those buildings.
Thanks. Cbs news political director John Dickerson is joining us now from the set of face the nation. John, there was stug you noticinged today about the president repeating that his National Security adviser had done nothing wrong. Thats right.

The fight agai mr. Trump said he will issue a new travel ban next week. His earlier temporary ban on all refugees and on citizens of seven predominantly muslim countries is blocked in court. Today, the president listed about 20 president ial orders that he says the media wont cover. We have covered them. And chip reid has found that not all of them are what they seem. I dont think there has ever been a president elected who in the short period of time has done what weve done. This administration is running like a finetuned machine. Democratic senator, dick durbin said that is wildly off the mark. Every new administration has the its growing pains. Ki he had to dismiss his acting attorney general. He faced an executive order which was rejected by three different federal courts. And then he had to take the resignation of his National Security adviser. Thats never hatppened. Finetuned machine off to a rough start. The president come cland congress is blocking him. Cant get my cabinet appr
