have disruption in travel and cancellations and upwards 2,000 people at the airport there stranded and waiting for help. the reason the airplanes can't fly through this, we can fly through a lot of things but ash is very dangerous to aircraft because as that plume goes up, it has basically vo volcanic ash and components that can clog up the area and result in significant problems with the engine. the magma cools and cakes on the combustion and you got big-time problems. sometimes you can't see the plume that the radar and the aircraft can't pick it up. we will watch this closely. the radar depicting shower and thunderstorm activity and likely cause problems at the surface as the ash comes down. in fact, we have reports that ash is falling as far away as the island to the east so we will see if we get the big eruption but for now continue to monitor the air space which remains quite dangerous. >> ivan cabrera, we appreciate

it. thank you. >> sure. dueling appointments. opening the door to a potential showdown between the white house and the country's top consumer watchdog agency. >> any perception that mr. kushner has been anything but not cooperative, but if you look at the emails he is the hero. >> eight years of economic stagnag. >> this is a terrible, terrible piece of legislation and it must be defeated. >> if we can repeal part of obamacare as part after tax bill and to have a tax bill still a good tax bill that can pass that is great. >> we don't need a liberal person in there. a democrat. roy moore denies it. that's all i can say. >> how can you be a white separatist and represent all of the constituents in your state? welcome to sunday.

good morning to you. we are so grateful for your company. i'm christi paul. >> i'm martin savidge in for victor blackwell. the clock is ticking for the president's son-in-law jared kushner who has until tomorrow to hand over material. >> they are trying to find out if he had any inappropriate contacts with russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. this as two new articles from "the new york times" and "the washington post" take a closer look at kushner's apparent shrinking role in the trump administration. the president is slamming the nation's top consumer watchdog group as total disaster and questions swirling who is going to be in charge after the director abruptly quit. this week is a make or break moment for the republican agenda? the question -- can the president secure a win on tax reform? democratic senator al franken to speak publicly for the first time since several women came forward accusing him

of sexual harassment. let's begin with the russia investigation. abby phillips is joining me now live. kushner has been asked to repeatedly turn over documents to or -- or more documents i should say related to the 2016 trump campaign and the transition team. i'm wondering is kushner expected to fully cooperate this time? >> reporter: jared kushner is asked to provide some new documentation to senate investigators. this has been an ongoing problem for him. investigators have impm come ba him said we need more documents and you need to provide transcripts related to this investigation. kushner's attorneys say he has been cooperative and forthcoming and he has provided information that relate to his own contacts with russia and with any other actors that are related to the investigation. if congressional investigators are looking for something they don't have, it's because they didn't necessarily ask for it.

i think we can examine that in the coming days you'll see kushner's attorney providing information they asked for partly because his attorneys say the more that they give investigators at the beginning the more it vindicates their client. so i think we expect them to actually do that when the deadline approaches tomorrow. >> on another controversy, former representative barney frank pushed back on the white house saying that president trump has the authority to appointed a new leader to the nation's top consumer watchdog agency, a story we have been following the past few days. you interviewed frank. what did he say? >> reporter: that's right. well, this is a dispute that might go all the way to the courts. when i talked to barney frank yesterday, he -- remember, he is -- one of the coauthors of the law that created the cfpb and he said that when they were going through and writing this piece of legislation, they thought about how they would put together the succession plan for what would happen if there is no

director of the cfpb and they said they wanted to make it so the president and white house and political actors in the government would not be part of that process of temporarily replacing a director when there is no one in that position. so they said they designed it for exactly this purpose and that it was not designed for the president, for president trump to be able to just appoint someone like mick mulvaney to that position. barney frank is on one side of that issue. but the justice department's lawyers came out with their opinion yesterday siding with the president saying their interpretation of the law is that the federal vacancies reform act, a whole other law, gives the president full authority to appoint who he wants to that position. on monday the folks will come it to work at cfpb and may not know who they report it.

barney frank believes this will be settled in court but not sure how or when that could happen. >> could be an awkward monday. abby phillips, thanks very much. thank you both for being here. i want to read to you something regarding jared kushner and his notable absence from the public eye, it seems, particularly from the west wing. here is what "the new york times" is writing. kelly, is that, in a sense, the john kelly effect? and is the role shrinking really for kushner or is it just becoming more focused? >> a great question, christi.

i think this is a case definitely of be careful what you wish for. jared kushner reportedly was one of the big forces behind getting reince priebus out as chief of staff and now look what happened. that led to john kelly coming in as chief of staff and he has really curbed jared kushner's access during the day to donald trump. and it is quite a striking difference. i sort of wonder, though, if the focus is there. we hear from that "the new york times" story as well that besides middle east peace and bringing government to the modern era, he is also working on nafta and re-entry of the american prisoners into society. this is a very wide ranging portfolio and you wonder how one person can handle all of this and it's -- john kelly, i'm sure, is asking the same question. >> yeah. kyle, reportedly the president, privately, this is according to a report, blames kushner for special counsel robert mueller's

widening probe. now we want to point out the president does deny that but here is what "the washington post" is writing today. so are we seeing the role of jared kushner evolve because of this investigation? >> sure. well, there doesn't appear to be any direct evidence of. no one is saying on the record he might think it's better to jared kushner's mental health that his portfolio is roofed somewhat. but this -- these constant questions about jared kushner actions during the election and, you know, the fact that the senate judiciary committee is coming back for more documents and not something is unusual for kushner. they have asked for more documents and more interviews

and more emails before. it's a constant cloud kind of hanging over his presence in the white house and it's something that us in the media are constantly asking questions about and it's got to be hard for a white house with so much else to do. we talked about tax reform a big issue but here we are talking about jared kushner so not good for any white house aide behind the scenes. you don't want to be that much of the focus. >> i want to read another portion of this, kelly, because it is interesting from "the new york times." we want to be very clear here. important to note. chief of staff kelly does dispute this. but kelly jane, how possible is it that jared kushner and ivanka would leave washington? >> my eyes kind of popped out of my head when i read that sentence myself. i think it's quite remarkable that a story like "the new york

times" is even being published and the one in "the washington post" because they are talking to people anonymously, of course, but who are speaking out about the problems that jared kushner and ivanka trump are bringing to the administration and that was sort of, you know, unheard of a couple of months ago. and it's really showing one of the problems of nepotism. you bring in family members, it's very hard to get rid of them. when they found out michael flynn was a liability they got rid of him quickly at least when it became public he was a liability. it will be harder with jared and ivanka. what seemed impossible is starting to look possible. look at rex tillerson's state department snubbing ivanka trump and not sending high level delegation with her to india. it seems the once untouchable kushner's are starting to look a little on shaky ground these days. >> well, he did, in all fairness, mr. kushner spoke to "the washington post" for the article and he said that he welcomes the change and apparently he was referring to

john kelly at that moment. he says, quote here. i believe in the president's agendas and i think it should get executed. kyle, your response to that and do you believe that kushner is going to be in the white house for the long haul? >> sure. well, it seems like that is exactly what top aide to the president should say. you know? the fact is no one really wants to go to work. doesn't matter what job you're in. you don't want to go to work and have this infighting and politicking to get your voice heard. you would like an orderly workplace. i do believe that statement. i have a hard time giving that donald trump is so isolated from the establishment, republicans. he doesn't really have a traditional operation around him, preliminary operation around him.

i have a hard time believing he would depart from that and fire his son-in-law. it seems like that would be some awkward birthday parties and thanksgivings at the trump household if that were to happen. it doesn't seem like jared and ivanka are going anywhere any time soon. >> we appreciate both of you being with us today. >> thanks. >> thanks. >> sure. tune in to "state of the union" this morning. senator dirk durbin and senator lindsey graham on the show with jake tapper that starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern on cnn. the president's latest tweet about "time" magazine is prompting this question -- is president trump obsessed with being "time" person of the year? a little star power entering the alabama senate race. charles barkley coming out against republican roy moore but only a few weeks until the election, obviously. how much sway does that have with voters? why pope francis's

controversial trip to myanmar could endanger christians? >> blackberry today has got more committed into cybersecurity software and managing enterprises. we do lots of licensing about technology. it is the architecture. this is what we offer to customers. we secure every communication of -- this really about connecting with our customer. new york stock exchange will exchange our blackberry listed on new york stock exchange. .. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation streamlined that wh the order data, the weights of , everything is seamlessly put into shipstation, so when we print the shipping ll everything's pretty much done. it's so much easier so now, we're ready, bring on t. shipstation. the number one ch of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get two months free.

-ahh. -the new guy. -whoa, he looks -- -he looks exactly like me. -no. -separated at birth much? we should switch name tags, and no one would know who was who. jamie, you seriously think you look like him? uh, i'm pretty good with comparisons. like how progressive helps people save money by comparing rates, even if we're not the lowest. even if we're not the lowest. whoa! wow. i mean, the outfit helps, but pretty great. look at us.

it's the final stretch of one of the most i think safe to say controversial election of the year. >> tomorrow is the deadline for voters to register in alabama special election for a race that could see a democrat slip a senate seat in a deep red state. and, tomorrow, that man there, republican roy moore, making his first public appearance in nearly two weeks after eight women came forward with allegations against him. we should point out moore has continued to deny these allegations. but in a response, his opponent doug jones has a lot to say. >> yeah. he has been claiming that moore is avoiding the campaign trail and says, quote. >> according to "the washington

post" doug has to get the african-american voters turnout. >> one speaking out is charles barkley. >> roy moore is running with steve bannon as his right hand man who is a white separatist. i'm not even going to get into the women stuff. i don't know these. to me. we got a lot of black people in the state who are amazing people. but to run a campaign with a guy at your chief advocate who is a white nationalist, white separatist should disqualify roy moore way before this women's stuff came up. >> so a race that is very

interesting gets even more so now. back to talk about all of is this our panel that is kelly jane torrance of "the weekly standard" and kyle felcher of the "washington news examiner." thank you for both for coming back. kelly, how significant, how important do you think barkley endorsement is going to be? and will it change the conversation, especially about doug jones and roy moore? >> it's an excellent question, martin. i think the biggest thing that is might effect is turn out. as you mentioned in the lead-up here, doug jones has to win a lot of african-americans it seems to win that seat. a lot of them probably are not really excited by doug jones. he is not exactly a thrilling candidate. so turnout is going to be very important and getting people, you know, a little bit riled up and interested in getting out there for the special election. december 12th, not a day that people normally have on their calendars as listen election. i have to say charles barkley is

partly right, that, you know, roy moore should have been disqualified before all of these allegations came out but i think before he brought on steve bannon. this is a man who showed, proved as a judge that he does not believe in the rule of law. he thinks that we should have the rule of men, you know, judges over the law. i think that should have disqualified him from the beginning. >> yeah, he was twice removed from the alabama supreme court. let me ask you this, kyle, though. roy moore has not made a public appearance, i've been following his campaign now for almost three weeks. he stayed off the campaign trail immediately after the allegations came forward. he has been ab sent. he runs ads but you haven't seen a lot of them. i'm wondering if you think that is a good strategy for him? >> well, given roy moore's propensity to say outlandish things, we will say, and be, you know, just kind of a fire brand, to the point where -- this is a whan who also whipped out a gun

during a campaign speech inspect he is very unpredictable. so what happens it actually was a good idea to the immediate aftermath all of these allegations coming out not have him out and in front of cameras and in front of microphones. if only because someone like that can often do more harm to themselves in a race than they can help, you know? you would think that perhaps this is something that his staffers said maybe for a little bit we will just let this try and calm down and we will come back when things are a little more settled. whether they are settled now is up for debate, obviously. >> clearly, he has to worry there isn't some other woman or someone else else who comes forward with some kind of allegation defense him. kelly, the president has hinted he might go to alabama and campaign for roy moore. do you think that is going to happen? >> i think it's possible. obviously, the more people are shocked that donald trump is not

disavowing the candidacy of roy moore i wonder if he'll do it just to upset the haters as he likes to call them. you know, we heard earlier on cnn he is upset with his daughter for criticizing roy moore and the aelllegations against him. i think it's shocking the white house is calling these eight women and who knows how many more might come forward, liars. but the president is in a difficult position. if he says we should tend to e believe women and more coming forward with agencies, he has to answer the question why we don't believe a different group of women with similar allegations against the president, himself. so i think it's anyone's guess what he might do. i think more than likely, though, we are going to see early morning or late night tweet from donald trump endorsing roy moore and that will be without his aides around to stop him. >> kyle, let me throw this at you. we know that this week that the

house is going to pick up the issue of training sexual harassment training for members of congress. it seems like they are way behind on this one just about every person who works in any job has gone through that kind of training. what is happening here? >> it seems like this is something that is outdated really ancient process and congress, as a whole, that the sexual harassment training there has been complaints from female lawmakers that essentially this process that is set up in congress when a staffer complains or alleges sexual harassment is actually set up to protect lawmakers and to silence these victims. so, you know, there is a cooling off period. there is times when essentially this office of compliance tries to talk the women out of pressing forward with their allegations, according to some lawmakers. it's a overhaul process long overdue and something they have

to take up and take seriously because there is so much more coming out and there keeps being little rumbles saying there is more coming and we will have to see what this week brings. it's been just a roller coaster of how many more men and how many more lawmakers can be accused of this kind of thing. >> right. i think is there a sense that a lot of people feel there is much more to come. kelly jane torrance and kyle belcher, thanks very much. >> thanks. pope francis is make ago historic trip to myanmar and it's not without controversy. we will tell you what is going on. plus, how a murder case that is more than ten years old is catching fire online, thanks to interest from a certain ageless group of celebrities.

policy victory for the president and the gop? senators bernie sanders and maria cantwell will debate in a town hall. tim cruz and tim scott in a 90-minute cnn town hall debate is live from washington hosted by cnn's jake tapper and chief political correspondent dana bash. it is tuesday 9:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. the pope leaves today to myanmar. but not without controversy. >> last week, recollection tillerson accused the state of ethnic cleansing against muslims. we are live from rome with delia gallagh gallagher. here is what was said about this trip. pope francis is walking through the same mine field in myanmar. if he is prophetic, he puts christians at risk. if he is silent about the

persecution of the rohingya, he loses morable credibility. what is your reaction to that? >> reporter: this is one of the diplomatic delicate trips to the pope. he is going at a time both the u.n. and u.s. have accused myanmar's military of ethnic cleansing of its minority population the rohingyas and that word is considered inflammatory for myanmar. all of it will be scrutinize ped. at the same time he is a guest in the country and what we have seen in the past with the pope he doesn't tend to come out with a heavy hand and offend his hosts. at the same time, he is expected to defend the rights of minority populations in that country. so certainly it is a tricky tight rope for pope francis. if anyone could do it, we have seen he is a savvy diplomatic person. he is able to walk that fine

line. but it will be a tough one. he will be meeting with aung san suu kyi one of myanmar's most government leader and she has come not speaking about the atrocity but her defenders including the cardinal of the pope's top advisers on the list says she is not in complete control, the military is in control. he will be meeting in a crucial meeting with the head of myanmar's military the senior general there. that is a key meeting to see if francis can succeed where others have failed. >> delia gallagher, thank you. president trump has called "time" magazine paper thin and flim flimsy. why is the president obsessed with "time" person of the year? we will discuss it next. time to. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. look how much coffee's in here? fresh coffee.

a question here. is the president obsessed with being "time" magazine's person of the year? a question that is circling after president trump tweeted this on friday. >> "time" magazine called and said i would probably be named man/person of the year like last year, but i would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. i said probably is no good and took a pass. thanks any way. "time" magazine shot that down saying the president is incorrect. "time" chief saying amazing. not a speck of truth here. >> joining us is brian stelter who is host of "reliable sources." despite what the president says,

brian, you think on the surface it seems like he wants this honor? >> i think you're right about that. i'll admit this is not the most important, most story in the whole world but i think it's inciteful into the president's mindset into how he thinks about the press and what he wants from big news outlets like "time" magazine. if you look at pictures of president trump in the oval office, sometimes you'll see "time" magazine there on his desk. this is a magazine that he has been reading for decades. he cares a lot about getting attention from this magazine. there is even a fake version of "time" magazine that used to be hanging on the wall of a few of his golf clubs. now he is saying he took a pass of the "man of the year" title. there is that fake cover. so interesting the "the washington post" found those earlier this year and found photographic proof of them. not quite a "time" magazine cover on the walls of his golf club. as for the real "time" magazine they should figure you out who the person of the year should

be. perhaps suggestion that the women that came forward to accuse harvey weinstein of wrongdoing and caused this international tipping point. i'm not sure what that cover would look like, if they highlight single individual on the cover or a group of people. but there is a lot of options for "time" magazine. president trump is one of the obvious options. now he says he doesn't want the title we will see what the editors decide to do ultimately. >> you point out, i thought the same thing too, in the president's tweet he seems to imply he turned it down, in part, he didn't want to give an interview. he has not given interviews for a news outlet for a long time. >> i think why it's a significant tweet. he is saying he turned down because because they would insist on an interview before giving him the title. i'm not sure that is how it works but worth pointing out since robert mueller pointed special counsel, president trump only speaks to friendly interviews from fox news and

right wing radio and plays like that. he doesn't give interviews for the journalists of fox news. just the opinion hosts he believes are friendly to him and who he'll spoke to. we have reluctance to give interviews but he is adding fuel to his media fire and criticizing cnn and other outlets on twitter and none of that does anything to improve the economy or bring jobs back. it's just his venting using twitter to vent, of course. come to think of it, maybe he'll sell a few more copies of "time" magazine. >> "time" is probably loving it all. >> what else are you talking about this morning? >> i mentioned a barb against cnn and get into his back and forth against our sister channel cnn international and why he is criticizing that channel later today on "reliable sources. >> you said he is not going anywhere. brian stelter on "reliable sources" at 11:00 eastern today on cnn. brown was just 16 when she was given a life sentence for

sentoya brown has been in prison a decade now but her case is catching fire on social media #free sentoya brown after being a tweet by rihanna. brown was 16 after forced into prostitution a 43-year-old man took her home and tried to have sex with her. brown says in self-defense she shot him because she feared for her life and despite her age, she was tried as an adult, sentence to do life in prison and won't be eligible for parole until she is 69. one of the people trying to change that is with us now. her attorney charles bone. charles, thank you so much for being here with us. we appreciate it.

first and foremost, i want to ask you how is she doing and is she aware of this new public campaign to try to help her? >> centoya is a remarkable young woman and she aware. she is amazed by the publicity that has been generated this week. >> help us understand who she is now. she has been in prison, has it been about 13 years? and has gotten a college degree, is that right? >> thirteen years and gotten her ged and associate of arts degree from lipscomb university and now close to getting her bachelor's degree. >> from what i read from her background, if it's correct, she suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome and grew up in a abusive home and drugs were rampant and ran away from adoptive parents and was forced

into prostitution by a pimp, as i understand it. what made you say i have to help this woman? >> an amazing documentary that dan bierman did in 2010 and when we saw that documentary, a group of us, with lawyers and others, got together to say, you know, we need to do our best to see if we can write this wrong. >> i understand you filed a petition for post conviction relief after the supreme court banned life without parole sentences for juveniles. what are your most pressing obstacles to making a release happen for her right now? >> well, the case will be heard in the sixth circuit court of appeals sometimes in 2018. also, we are in the process of asking the board of pardons and paroles and the governor to consider an action that would commute her sentence and allow her to serve a much

we hope the legislature would take some action that would be of some help to her. >> i want to bring joey jackson into the mix here. i think when people realize that at 16 she was convicted as an adult of aggravated robbery and first-degree murder. what has to happen in the legal realm to secure her release here? >> first of all, let me compliment him for taking this case. understand it's an uphill battle, though. the biggest problem is, you have a system that needs to balance three things. punishment, deterrence and rehabilitation. certainly you want to punish someone. but the issue is at 16 years old is a sentence where she's up for parole at 69.

at 16 years old, the brain is fundamentally different than what we would do if you were 45 or 55. having said that and having read the analysis and brief here, the question then becomes when you look and analyze her actions, is a person dead? that person was 43 years old. there is an indication that he was shot and robbed. she took his wallet or his pants away from him the the question now is the punishment appropriate and is a new trial in her future? that's something that is going to have to be looked at in addition to the remedies that were talked about, and that is whether there would be a commutation of the sentence to be less than what she would have

now. >> joey, when you read through this, what was your initial thought about the conviction and the sentence for it? because on the outside, we thought somebody make some sense of this for us. >> christi, in looking at it, the crime is very heinous. certainly it deserves punishment. apparently at the trial level, the argument was self-defense. when she went to this man's home, she was a prostitute being put up to it by her pimp. she was scared of what he would do, pulled out a pistol from her pocketbook that she was given by him and she shot him. so now you look to whether or not if she was con convicted of this crime, what can happen now. i know she has all of these past histories of mental abuse and

her mental deficiencies and alcohol that her mother went through. the only thing you can hope for is there would be a commutation of the sentence and it would be a bit less than what it is now. >> charles, kim kardashian put on her instagram, i called my attorneys to see what can be done to fix this. how much pull do celebrities have in this? >> we welcome all of the support from the celebrities like him and also her legal team. we look forward to working with all of the volunteers who have been a part of this, you know, really around the world but especially here in tennessee for many years. >> joey jackson, thank you so much for breaking it down for us. charles bone, we appreciate you and the work you're doing. keep us informed and we want to know what happens to cyntoia.
