hello and welcome back to our viewers from all around the world, and hello to our viewers just joining us from the united states. i'm rosemary church. i want to update you on the stories this hour. indonesian officials say that both technical failures and pilot errors were responsible for the deadly crash of an air asia jet last december. a pilot responded incorrectly to mall fucfunctions resulting in crash. zplnch the leader of 150 countries
11:31 pm
are meeting to agree on gas emission. on monday the presidents of the u.s. and russia spoke one on one. vladimir putin called climate change one of the greatest threats humanity is facing. meanwhile, the white house has outlined several new counterterrorism measures including a new senior adviser to president obama. robert mali. other measures include tight tightening security for visa programs. a man who had been in touch with the cousin of the attack's ring leader said more violence was planned for jewish areas, transport networks and schools. the leaders were killed in paris.
11:32 pm
>> the hunt is still on for a surviving suspect in the paris attacks. new information is emerging about an dell salah and his where ashts. >> reporter: the search for him, a global man hunt that's turned up few leads. french intelligence authorities are now working under the assumption he may be in syria, but belgian officials are not convinced. still searching neighborhoods in his hometown of bruzles. a day after the attacks at 1:00 in the morn, he turns up here in a neighborhood in brussels. a childhood friend of his meets him at this station. the attorney says the men go onto a cafe, and at some point, he tells his pal about how his brother has killed people in paris and then blown himself up. >> the men then drive several minutes until he gets out
11:33 pm
somewhere in a neighborhood. an attorney. >> translator: my client doesn't know how long he says here. he doesn't know if he did. maybe he went somewhere else after. my client doesn't know. >> reporter: sources are releasing more details. in december he's in paris. in october he purchases ten fireworks. two days before the attacks he's in a car used to carry out the plans. police say he drove the car to the soccer stadium to drop off bombers before abandoning it in a pedestrian crosswalk near the site of one of the attacks. later, investigators trace his cell phone to a suburb. days after in the same neighborhood, they find discarded suicide vests. 130 people are killed by seven terrorists who shoot them and detonate bombs on the night of
11:34 pm
november 13th. by morning, the only living suspect is gone. salah crosses the border. they stop him at the border but eventually let him know not realizing they questioned one of the world's most wanted men. alexandra fields, cnn, brussels. >> and we are joined with more on the terror investigation. as we saw and heard in that report, belgian authorities don't agree, but french authorities think he may have escaped to syria. how would that have been possible in the after math of paris attacks? >> reporter: that's a good question, and certainly one where the belgians are skeptical that's something that could have happened. when we look at the time line of events, he was for a short time picked up by the french security sources, questioned by the
11:35 pm
french security sources. the other thing is the man hunt for him was put in place pretty shortly after the paris attacks happened when the investigators here found out that this cell, including salaam was responsible for the attacks. that's probably one of the reasons why the belgians feel that there is no evidence. at this point in time he could already be in syria. and also we have to keep in mind that there is a trace as aleck sack dra was saying, that shows he was in and around the brussels area. that's why they were under a virtual state of lock down for the early part of last week. the authorities believed he could have still been there, and also that there is most probably a network sporting him because they don't believe that he would be able to remain in hiding and on the run from authorities for
11:36 pm
this long period of time without some sophisticated network behind him. >> it is a concern if he hasn't been to syria, the big concern, where is he and how he has gone so quiet for so long. i wanted to ask you more about what we're learning regarding the investigation, specifically relating to new details of other attacks that were apparently immine imminent. >> exactly. this is also part of this cell but also the one that relates to another who is probably the one who apparently plotted the attacks and further attacks after. that goes back to the attack that happened after the paris attacks. he was killed. his cousin was also killed as well. and, of course, a third person who blew himself up. they believe from witness testimony, according to sources close to the investigation, that
11:37 pm
new attacks were, kwaquote, rea to go, and they could have hit jewish areas in paris, and transport and schools as well. and apparently there was an attack plotted against the commercial area, and a witness has said that abaaoud had tried to get his cousin to buy him a flashy suit and some shoes to make sure he could blend in there before unleashing terror there. it appears as though if all this is true, there could have been another wave of terror in the making in the raids of the apartments had not taken place when they did. >> the details are chilling. many thanks to you, fred. technical failures and pilot errors as we have been telling you, investigators say both were responsible for the crash of an ire asia flight last december. this report out moments ago is
11:38 pm
the first explanation given to victim's families like those you see here of how and why the plane went down. transportation officials said that the pilot responded incorrectly to a series of system malfunctions on the jet, causing that crash. all 162 people on board were killed when the plane crashed into the java sea. let's turn to paula hancock. let's talk about the findings. they bring little comfort to the loved ones of those lost. >> that's right. 162 people died on board that plane, and this is the first official report that they have heard into what happened to their loved ones. from this report, we understand there were a series of technical faults. but ultimately, it was the pilot error that led to the stall of
11:39 pm
that aircraft, and they were unable to rectify the fault, and unable to protect those on board. technical faults followed by pilot error. the flight control computer appears to be key. we understand that there was a cracking of a solder joint, and there were four alerts that went off, four master cautions, which is alarms trying to alert prielts priel pilots in the plane. what they tried to do, according to that report is to reset the computer, but then there was an electrical fault. so that disengaged the auto pilot. all of a sudden, at 32,000 feet or higher than that as they had asked to go higher, all of a sudden they are in manual mode, and that's where they say they were unable to control the plane. at 32,000 feet, they asked to go
11:40 pm
higher. the weather conditions were not good. there were a number of factors that would have made it more stressful for that flight crew to try to rectify the situation, but as this report says, ultimately, activities the pilot error that brought the plane down after the technical faults. >> and it's horrifying for everyone across the world watching this and getting the details on this report. we've all flown at some point in our lives and we propose to fly again, so the focus now, given the findings of this report is what are they going to do? did it talk about solutions or training, or did it just deal with the cause? >> reporte >> reporter: we've seen dealing with the cause so far, but the reason for the report to make sure lessons are learned from this incident. now, one thing that was interesting is when they talked to the cracking of the solder joint in the flight control
11:41 pm
computer, they talked of unresolved repetitive faults. we need to know the fact that there were problems before on this airplane, whether the maintenance was not good enough or rectified before. we don't know. it said the fault occurred four times on the flight. they'll be looking at the maintenance and looking at whether or not there was an error within the system itself, and they'll be also looking at whether or not they can increase the training of air pilots. we know from richard quest, our aviation correspondent, just a half hour ago mentioning that airlines are increasing the amount of training they give to pilots in the respect of stressful situations, quite often they are trained heavily in the takeoff and landing scenarios which are considered to be the most concerning times of a flight, but they're also increasing the training that these pilots and crew have when
11:42 pm
they're at high altitudaltitude when they face multiple conditions. >> the focus will be pilot training going forward. paula hancocks reporting there from seoul in south korea. many thanks to you. congo is turning to clean energy production to conserve africa's oldest park, and its endangered mountain gorillas while creating jobs for people in the region. we'll explain and have a report for you. stay with us. ng is even better during red lobster's ultimate seafood celebration. with jazzed up new dishes like the decadent grand seafood feast and the ultimate wood-grilled feast why wait to celebrate? so hurry in, it ends soon.

welcome back. congo is home to africa's oldest park, baruga national park. some of the last remaining mountain gorillas live there. there are details on a solution to save the gorillas and the world heritage site. >> reporter: by night the world's largest lava lake becomes a mosaic of crashing orange waves. by day, nearly a third of the world's remaining mountain gorillas forge for foot. this is a world heritage site, and in the democratic republican
11:47 pm
of congo, a place of unparalleled punparalle unparalleled biodiversity. but surveying below, the park director knows natural wonder isn't enough. >> everywhere. that's actually inside the park. >> reporter: the park also sits in the heart of one of the world east longest running wars. >> we've lost just 18 of our staff on that stretch of road. >> reporter: and then there's oil. the government authorized a uk giant to look for oil. conservationists called it illegal. they have denied the claims. this november, it abandoned the project. >> a lot of uncertainty there. and so we have to remain very
11:48 pm
vigilant. >> reporter: the traditional model of protecting park boundaries will never work here, especially not when 4 million people live in poverty on varunga east edge. how does nature win? a massive project that will bring sustainable energy to an entire for the first time. this station built outside the park is one of eight all set to be online by 2025, powered by water from varunga's mountains. >> if you have a healthy forest, you have stable water flows, and you can reliably produce electricity. >> reporter: and with that comes companies and jobs. a lead engineer knows it will change his and his children's
11:49 pm
future. we live in the dark, he says. this is going to allow a generation of youth to not busy themselves with armed groups but with developing the country. and making that development reliant on power provided by nature means varunga has a chance to win the conservation race. arwa damon, cnn. >> for more on the conservation efforts, we turn to samantha smith, the leader of the world wildlife funds energy initiat e initiative. thank you for being with us. we saw in the report, a massive hydroelectric project set to bring sustainable energy to an entire region. your organization wants to see more of this investment in clean energy, so what do you expect to come out of this summit, and what do you want to see come out
11:50 pm
of it? all right. i was wondering whether she could hear us there in the initial stages. we'll try to reestablish communications with her -- actually, i understand we're good? yes? are we good to go to her? if i could -- no, we're not. all right. we'll try to reestablish that link and go back to her. let's continue on for now, and as world leaders work to reach an agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions at the slieclimb summit, china is strugling with hazardous levels of air pollution. you're authorities raised the smog alert to the second highest level on sunday. it's so thick. i want to get more on that and what's becoming the worst stretch of smog in years in
11:51 pm
china for years. pedram javaheri joins us. it's extraordinary. when you look at that, it's so thick you can hardly see the buildin buildings through it, and the timing extraordinary, at the same time we know china's leader is there in paris trying to work on this agreement to cut carbon emissions. >> absolutely. it's ironic what's happening when it comes to the severity of this taking place. look at some of these images, and people see them and wonder how someone can live in this type of environment where the air quality is ten to 20 times higher than what is considered fit to breathe in this part of the world. in parts of the united states, air quality was this poor four or five decades ago. in los angeles, up until the 1950s and 1960s, they had some of the dirtiest air in our planet. then we had the clean air fact.
11:52 pm
and in 1975 they were required to have catalytic converters. then the air quality improved. look at los angeles. in 1976, 234 days were considered to have unhealthy air. now only 92 days considered unhealthy to breathe. still a far cry from where we want to be. in beijing, 175 days considered unhealthy. one every other day. we know china's energy consumption has a lod to do with what's going on. you burn coal, you're taking care of fossil fuels. you release greenhouse gases. the particyulates are high in te air. the coastal communities, in particular, one degree cells yus
11:53 pm
is what the global temperature has been on the increase since the beginning of the 1900s. in china that number is close to 1.5 degrees celsius. three in china. this would lead to dramatic events when it comes to sea level rice. when we talk about sea level rise, when you have a one centimeter rise in the ocean, that removes the coastline back some ten meters. bring the water up 10 centimeters, it would be a 14 centimeter increase. that would be 14 meters of sea level being displaced, and that would lead to traumatic damage where tens of millions people live across that region of beijing and shanghai where the air quality continues to be an
11:54 pm
issue. a one, two punch with the temperatures and the air quality. >> sobering details. thank you pedram javaheri. we'll check in with you soon. we have reestablished communication with samantha smith, the leader of the world wildlife funds global climate and energy initiative, and joins us now live from paris. thank you so much for being with us. now, we were watching arwa damon's report about a massive hydroelectric project set to bring sustainable energy to a region. your organization wants to see more of this kind of investment in clean energy. what do you expect to come out of this summit, and what do you think, or what do you want to come out of it? >> well, what we think is going to come out of it is a global agreement that will limit the
11:55 pm
rise of global temperatures to el well under 2 degrees celsius. that's critically important not only for animals and eco systems around the world, but for all the people close to coastal areas. people living in areas that can be affected by heat waves and droughts. we think there's going to be an agreement here. we had about 150 heads of state here yesterday all talking about action on climate. that's more heads of state that have shown up for a u.n. event ever. it's a good start. but there's two weeks of hard negotiations ahead. >> what do you say to the climate change skeptics who reject the notion that carbon emissions are causing the global warming. what's the science behind this? >> the science is more robust than science in pretty much any
11:56 pm
other area, and to skeptics, we have to say you're wrong. people all other the world are feeling the impacts of climate change. all of us can say we're experiencing temperatures we've never expeerntsed before, and that's true. we're living through the hottest year ever, and that's caused by our emissions of greenhouse gases. >> samantha, thank you for joining us. and thank you for watching "cnn newsroom." we have another hour for you coming up in just a moment. believe it.

don't settle for u-verse. x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. leaders from around the world, a meeting in paris with a lofty goal to tackle climate change. hear why they say the stakes have never been so high. plus, new information on where a key suspect in the paris terror attacks could be. and the man accused of shooting and killing three people at a u.s. women's clinic makes his first court appearance wearing a padded vest. hello and welcome to our viewers from the united states and all around the world nmpl
12:01 am
i. i'm rosemary church. thanks for joining us. this is "cnn newsroom." it is 9:00 a.m. in paris right now where the second full day of the cop 21 climate change summit will soon begin. 150 leaders from around the world are in the french capital. their goal is ambitious and historic, to produce the first ever legally binding universally ali applicable plan to fighting global warming. in 2009, attempting to reach a similar agreement failed, meaning all eyes will be on top 21 for a lasting solution. so we go to paris now where phil black joins us from the latest on the summit, the big question
12:02 am
is can all the nations of the world draft an historic agreement to dramatically cut carbon emissions, and what happens now on day two? >> reporter: well, rosemary, at the end of this two week process, they'll come up with something. the key issue is whether it will be good enough. what we've seen over the opening 24 hours is a parade of political will with the world's leaders declaring their attention, intention to fix climate change. the belief it is a major problem, giving it their will and their support. but they're going to start leaving town now over the next day, leaving behind ministers and negotiators who will have to work out the details. they have to work with pledges that have been made by each of the individual countries, what each of the countries are
12:03 am
prepared to do to tackle climate change in various ways. now, the understanding is that those e r pledges taken together will not reach what is considered the ultimate goal of this process. that is limiting global increase climate to 2 degrees celsius. that's not going to happen here. they're hoping they can lock these pledges in as a good start that will make a difference, that will limit temperature increases significantly, just not enough, and lock it into this process through an agreement that can be reviewed, improves with time, constantly policed and ensured that people are doing what they need to do. there's a lot of detail to be worked out, like the issue of whether it should be legally binding. many want it to be. others like the united states say no way, and the reality is whatever they come up with at the end, it's not going to keep everyone happy. for example, president obama today will be spending time with the leaders of small island
12:04 am
nations, some of the countries that are most vulnerable to climate change, and sea level rise. these countries believe that 2 degree increase in temperature is still far too much and still threatens their very existence. they're not happy with that as a target in and of itself. ultimately, it's a compromise, but hopefully the intention is it will be something that's strong enough to build on and make more ambitious over time in the future. >> yeah. there is certainly an incredible amount of optimism, and as you mentioned, the leaders will leave. it will be up to the officials to work on this from here on. of course, there's going to be this major challenge, this tussle between the developed world and the developing nations that are trying to strike some sort of balance between their need to grow industry and their economy, and cutting down carbon
12:05 am
emissions. talk to us about that challenge. >> reporter: that's always been, perhaps, the most divisive issue, in the ongoing climate talk process. this battle of wills between the developed world, wealthy companies that have become wealthy through burning fossil fuels, and those developing countries that haven't contributed to the problem. but still want the right to develop, grow their economy, improve their citizen's quality of life and so forth. a big part of this is negotiating a fund, about $100 billion a year. that's the goal, from to 20 20 that the wealthy countries will contribute in order to help poorer countries deal with the consequences of climate change. as i say, also help them develop and grow a low carbon economy that helps their people and improves their way of life.
12:06 am
they've agreed on the figure. it's an extraordinary number that's expected to get bigger with time. what they're trying to figure out is the detail of where the money comes from. it's supposed to be a mix of government money, private investment, multilateral organizations, all taken together to try and come up with this figure that will then be given appropriately as needed. it is one of the great challenges of the next two weeks here. >> certainly is. our phil black staying on top of all the issues there. joining us live from paris. the world bank has ranked the world countries for carbon dioxide missions. china is, by far, the biggest emitter of co 2, releasing more than 8 million kilo tons. the u.s. is number two, followed by india and russia. matt rivers went to one of
12:07 am
china's most polluted cities for a closer look. >> reporter: these are streets choked with pollution, thick enough to see, to burn your eyes, to leave a taste in your mouth. this is balding, china's most polluted city, where life goes on under the cloak of a toxic shroud. this man grew up here and is raising his young son here, and the air they breathe is always on his mind. when the pollution gets really serious, we can't even see the building next to us, he says. you can't even describe how bad the smell is. like thousands of others here, he gets ready for work and heads out into the haze as a coal power plant turns out taxoxins above. he works in the energy sector, and his company hopes to make
12:08 am
coal disappear. the company says they have plans to more than double their current capacity by 2020. i believe there will be a large increase in renewable energy industry. >> reporter: in 2014 companies, chinese companies invested money in renewable emergency products, more than any other country. and renewable energy accounts for only 10% or so of china's energy supply. this is a country where coal remains king. many families keep piles of coal like this one to burn for warmth during the winter months. it's a major pollutant, but it's cheep and efficient, and because of that it accounts for between 60% and 70% of china's energy supply. coal use slowed but the con
12:09 am
sujs -- they're the largest greenhouse gas emitter, but the emissions will peek by 2030. they'll need helpers of this company and workers. >> i'm very concerned about my son's held. if the air pollution stays like this, he won't ever be able to leave the house. so he hopes his work will help make things better so his son won't be afraid to take a deep breath. >> and matt rivers joins us now live. and we look behind you, there, just extraordinary when you look at the smog and what people have to deal with day today, and, of course, what is really, really standing out here is the timing of this, because we see that in the background and see what's
12:10 am
happening across china, and at the same time, the president is there in paris trying to work out this legally binding document on reducing carbon emissions. so talk to us about how people are handling there and if we can pan out and maybe get a bigger shot of what's going on behind you there. >> yeah. if we can pan to the side here, you can show the buildings here to my right. if we can move the camera slightly that way, you can see that the buildings are only about 200 meters from where we are right now, but you can see that how bad the pollution remains here in beijing. this is something that people here have been dealing with, now, for several days now, since friday, really, the smog first came in, and it really -- >> all right. well, clearly, we are and were having problems getting him up there. we did get him.
12:11 am
enough for you to see the situation in beijing that is critical. that is what they're working for at the cop 21 in paris, those sorts of problems across the globe, and the climate change conference is taking place under heavy security as the investigation into the paris attacks is ongoing. jim sciutto reports on new information about the key terrorist suspect that survives. >> reporter: the street behind the concert hall, site of some of the most desperate escapes of paris attacks is open again with bull let holes marking the walls. one of the chief architects of the karn naj remains on the loose. french investigators looking into the possibility he escaped to syria, sources tell cnn. >> if he made it over land from france to turkey, it would have been easy for him to get into syria. he could have also done that sia
12:12 am
greece, going by boat to syria, all of that is possible, and there's very little control over those board eers. >> reporter: it would be an alarming escape. his la the chairman of the house homeland security committee says authorities are getting closer. >> i think they're closing in on him. that's good news. there are many involved in this plot. it's very sophisticated, an external operation we've seen from isis. >> reporter: investigators are piecing together the movements before the attacks. french place say they bought ten detonators and batteries. the store manager alerting authorities after the arrest warrant. >> the trail has gone cold, and they're looking for any kind of clue, people he met.
12:13 am
anybody who has possibly seen the suspect. that is going to be the key to finding him. >> reporter: now new information that the terrors were planning more bloodshed. they had other targets, quote, ready to go, including transportation networks, schools, and jewish targets. an echo of the january attack on a kosher market following the deadly shooting at the offices of "charlie hebdo." >> indonesian officials say both technical failures and pilot error brought down air asia flight 8501. the report released just hour found that a serious of system malfunctions occurred in the plane, but it was ultimately the pilot's incorrect response to those failures that resulted in the crash. aviation correspondent, richard quest, has the details. >> it would seem that there were a series of technical failures
12:14 am
on the air asia. highly concerning. the actual cause of the plane stalling was the way the pilot then responded to that. and in the words of the report, it was the way the pilot manually flew the plane which eventually led to the plane crashing. the facts are slightly different, but the theory and principle is very similar to what we saw with air france 447 where you have a technical failure, but the pilot response eventually leads to the plane crashing. >> cnn's richard quest reporting there, and the report is the first official explanation given to the families of the victims.

donald trump met with more than 100 black pastors on monday. and you can see some of them arriving here. there was plenty of confusion and controversy surrounding the meeting, but trump, true to form, called it a huge success. sara murray has details on the closed door meeting. >> i see love everywhere i go. >> reporter: despite walking back, donald trump emerged calling the closed door meeting a success. >> we didn't think we were going to be having a press conference, but we thought it was such a good meeting we would do that. and we have many endorsements that came out of the meeting. >> reporter: in a leadup to today's get together, several pastors said they had no intention of backing the gop front running or attending the meet and greet.
12:20 am

12:31 am
where phil black joins us with the latest on the summit. it is 9:30 in the morning there in paris, phil, we have seen what has come out of the first day at the cop 21 summit. what can we expect from the second day as the leaders arrive and settle in? >> reporter: well, rosemary, one of the more interesting things i think will be taking place today been president obama moving, mingling with leaders of small island nations, leaders that feel that their existence is most threatened by the consequences of climate change, notably sea level rise, and these are countries who think the summit is not being ambitious enough. they think it's not going to be enough to ensure their continued existence. they think 1.5 degrees should be the appropriate goal here. but the reality is that even the
12:32 am
2 degree goal isn't going to be met. we know that from the pledges that countries have made coming into these talks, although significant, although they're estimated to make a difference in keeping down global temperature rise, they're not going to keep it to within the 2 degree limit. what it shows and what we'll be getting a sense of over the two weeks is the overall process is a compromise. they're trying to reach an agreement that will make significant steps toward fighting climate change but will ultimately simply be just the first step, and i think everyone here acknowledges that, for all the optimism and good will that has been expressed, and the entire to make a difference, the process going on for decades now, there's expected to be an agreement, but everyone here is of the understanding that this is just going to be a first step. that it will allow greater
12:33 am
improvement and more ambition to be built into it in the future. >> and you talk about the optimism. that's what we're hearing from this summit. are there any skeptics there in the mix there of leaders from the various nations across the globe? >> reporter: not really. no. not from -- i think what people are arguing here, and there are some points of difference. it's within the nuance. the people here believe climate change is a major problem, that it does, to a significant the degree, threaten the future way of life, the planet, everyone and everyone on it. what they disagree on is in the detail and the degree who which they as individual nations should be called upon to exact against it. the developed world acknowledges that it is largely responsible for creating the problem by burning fossil fuels for centuries and effectively
12:34 am
getting wealthy off the process. the developing world hasn't really contributed to the problem, still wants to grow and develop economically, and in one of the great ironies of climate change and the science and the predicks, these poorer less developed countries are expected to bear the brunt of the consequences that come with it. there is this issue between the right to develop and grow own to some extent, some of the countries, india's a notable example, believe they still need fossil fuels within their energy mix moving into the future. while also committing to solar power as a long term answer and contributor, if you like, to reducing emissions. they're also contributing to coal in a way that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. these are the debates and differences taking place here. what sets this apart is there's a greater sense of being
12:35 am
universal in the sense that it applies to almost all countries coming here with the real belief that they want to contribute and they believe there's a problem and that through working together, there can be a solution. >> phil black reporting there from paris. it is 9:34 in the morning. we're watching the live pictures there as the leaders get underway. the second day, and our phil black will be monitoring what happens on this day. a new report released on the monday shows just how bad it may be getting for parts of china if nothing is done to kecurb the impacts of climate change. we are joined by pedram javaheri. he's been having a look at this. explain to us how bad the situation is there. we saw the pictures live from beijing and just how thick the smog is. it's a constant problem for the nation. >> and the report is fascinating. it was a 900 page report involving some 50 -- 550
12:36 am
scientists. we know our planet has warmed up about 1 degree celsius. two is what is concerning when it comes to irreversible damage. in china that number has been anywhere from.9 to.5 celsius. we know the forecast is nothing is done, make up to 2 degrees celsius. in china, that could take it up to 3 degrees celsius. put this together, we've observed the sea level rise. look at them since 1992. ten millimeters per year increase. working toward madagascar. now, i want to show you what happens when you take this into consideration. because we know with a one
12:37 am
centimeter rise in sea levels, the sea will be increase in sea level ten meters. bring it to ten centimeters, now you're pushing that farther back. in parts of china, the forecast has the water coming up 14 centimeters. that would submerge the city and push the water into the city 140 meters away from the coastline, creating a new coastline. that's what's concerning over this portion of china. something they're watching carefully. the other big story is the incredible pollution taking place across the region. look at the satellite from the past 24 hours. fascinating to see from space what's happening at the surface. here's beijing. the valley, you see the something that's in place. the fog easy the to pick out as well. and the mountain snow north of the region. all of this, the pollutants are trapped there across the city
12:38 am
center, and that area of the bay seeing the dense smog that's currently in place. we know in this part of china in recent decades, the pollution led to a concerning area where life expectancies have dropped five and a half years. and it's beyond index, fifteen to 20 times over fit air to breathe. a lot of people look at this number, and the typically in the overnight hours, the pollutants begin to drop. 500 beyond index, 100 considered unhealthy. at midnight it only dropped down to the very unhealthy category, and as industry wakes up, it goes beyond index. it's concerning, and we know this has been increasing. if nothing is done, it will continue to do so in the coming years. >> some unsettling numbers
12:39 am
there, and descriptions there, and that's why the president of china is there in paris trying to work out some solutions with other world leaders. many thanks to pedram javaheri, appreciate it. >> russia is deploying some massive military technology in syria. see why u.s. officials are so concerned with the possible implications. that is next. we give you relief from your cold & flu. you give them a case of the giggles. tylenol® cold helps relieve your worst cold & flu symptoms... you can give them everything you've got. tylenol®

russia is making a military move in syria that has u.s. officials wondering how to react. barbara star reports. >> reporter: a major escalation. that's what one u.s. military official calls russia's latest battle field move. the russians have now activated this massive air defense missile system in western syria. the s-400.
12:43 am
>> translator: we need to have security for our air force. and that is why we have activated the s-400 system. >> reporter: leaving the u.s. trying to figure out what to do next. >> the s 4 -400 is one of the most capable things in the world. it will enhance russia's ability to defend air assets and also it will serve russia's interest by protecting syrian air space, or the air space asaad controls. >> reporter: from its location, the missile has the capability to track and shoot at airplanes all the way to an air base in the turkey, u.s. officials say, but for now, the u.s. is counting on the fact russia has no intention of attacking u.s. war planes. the pentagon believes that from the air base, in fact, the russian radars would have a hard time reaching over a mountain range just to the east, and
12:44 am
locking onto u.s. aircraft. still, u.s. war planes would be at the risk of an accidental shootdown as they fly over turkey. >> they're going to have to alter their tactics, their approach routes, and at the least, coordinate with the russians to make sure that they don't get shot down by the s-4 00 or any other anti-aircraft system the russians are deploying at this point. >> reporter: and since the shoot down of the russian ancient by turkey, it appears the turks are steering clear of russian aircraft. the state department backing up the assertion the russians for in its air space. >> has been leer on where we'd like to see russia, and we're stepping up a step.
12:45 am
if our objectives are the same and if russia is committed to the counter isil fight, that's a we'll have. >> the kremlin says a meeting will not happen. mr. putin disputes turkey's claim that the russian plane was in turkey's air space. we want to bring in cnn correspondent ian lee to discuss this. he joins me from istanbul in turkey. ian, as we just reported, turkey has hoped that russia's president would meet with his turkish count part at the sum t summit. it wasn't to be. where does this leave fence mending efforts, and what will likely happen next?
12:46 am
>> rosemary, they are scheduled to meet in moscow on december 15th. we do not know if that trip is going to go ahead. what we're hearing within the past 24 hours is still this war of words between putin ander dejuan. putin claiming turkey is getting oil from isis, saying the area where they shot down the russian plane is where some of the oil from isis is coming through and that the turks were protecting that oil supply line. the turks came out saying it couldn't be further from the truth, that they get all their oil and gas from legal sources and in fact, he called on putin to show the evidence that turkey is getting oil from isis, and added that if they are, that he would resign if they could prove
12:47 am
that turkey was getting oil from isis, and he challenged putin to back up his claims. >> that's an astounding development, indeed. while that's playing out, of course, we know that russia plans to apply economic sanctions to turkey. do we have any details on how long they're likely to stay in place? >> they seem very open-ended at this point. the russians haven't given them an outdated deadline. it seems like as long as this conflict between the two continues as this war of words own this tensions continue, these economic sarngnctions wil continue as well. a lot of them will start at the beginning of the year. they hit from turks unable to go to russia visa free which will hurt businessmen trying to do
12:48 am
business across borders. it's also going to hurt turks who try to get jobs inside russia, but also hitting the tourism sector very hard. about 4 million russians come here a year. about $3 billion, totaling, in that sector of the tourism industry. without that money, these sanctions could get millions and billions of dollars. it doesn't look like either leader is going to back down. both are looking for an apology. >> ian lee reporting from turkey staying on top of the latest developments of the tensions between the leaders of turkey and russia. an unsettling mystery on japan's shores. at least eight wooden boats have been found, each carrying a gruesome cargo. back in a moment.

the kid's shoe. she needs a new pair for the soccer game, so send in the drone. the it's billed as 30 minute delivery, but things have changed. >> it looks really cool. >> it's a slick redesign. >> people are going over the amazon teaser trailer with a magnifying class. both the old drone, screen left, and the new one take off and land the same way, like a helicopter, but the new version has eight rather than four propellers, plus a pusher prop in the back that take over once the drone rises 400 feet or so. the drone can do around 55 miles per hour. >> it uses sense and avoid technology to sense and avoid obstacles on the ground and in
