♪ good wednesday morning. i'm erica hill. >> and i'm jim scuitto. perhaps some relief. the first flights taking off moments ago from reagan national airport here in d.c., this after the faa lifted the earl why are

ground stop. now restarting all u.s. takeoffs, but the logistical nightmare continues as airports across the country try to get their flights back on schedule. they're still mounting. it all started early morning after a key faa system went down, halting all u.s. flight departures. >> and that spreads around the world. in london, passengers said they were stuck on the tarmac for hours waiting to be taken off. president biden has been briefed, and they're work ing - >> and we'll respond at that time.

pete muntean is at reagan airport, and athena jones, and emeril walker there in atlanta. this is a vote good sign now that flights are taking off. >> a very good sign. things were at a standstill. that's when the faa alleviated this ground stop they had in place for a couple hours. they actually ended it early. the issue the notice -- the notem system, the bulletin board, what pilots need to real before they fly. it gives critical information about what they need to land. it's bible appeared verse is pilots must read it before the flight. without the system, they could

simply not take off right there there's one at shalt, delays are averaging about 43 minutes. delta has a ground stop into place at la golden state warriora united airlines is offering passengers change fees that are waived, even refunds, if they were impacted by this faa system outage today. the delays an cancellations continue to pile up. if you look at flightaware, just shy of 5,000 delays, about 800 cancellation numbers. we will see that number go up. the big question, what caused this in the first place?

that is the question that transportation secretary pete buttigieg says there will be a review. key miss that oversee the airlines and the -- also trade associations saying there simply needs to be more investment in the behind the scenes infrastructure that the faa uses to use this system. clearly we have seen this. it is so unprecedented, i can't think of a time -- i've been flying -- ives a pilot since i was a teenager. i'm a flight instructor. i have never seen a nationwide ground stop other than 9/11. >> athena, i wonder, can they get through all these delays right now? >> reporter: hi, jim, you're right, newark and also

hartsfield-jackson. i went to the board a few minutes ago. there's still quite a few delays. you can imagine there were be. there were flights scheduled for 5:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., all delayed under the 9:50. you heard the airlines offering waivers or refunds. you also mentioned the idea -- we heard this from the transportation secretary pete buttigieg and others, that they need to get to the bottom of this, senator cantwell of washington, she's another person vowing to look into these delays. she said the public needs a resilient air transportation system, and they have to look

into how redundancy works. as i mentioned, things are a bit calmer here. many are going to miami or fort lauderdale. they say they expect to have a fine day. miami was not delayed, a couple other flights are still facing delays. estimates and, amara, what about there in atlanta, the world's busiest airport? >> reporter: that's right. if you look here behind me, it doesn't look so busy. that's because it is a slower travel day, typically a wednesday. a lot of people were inconvenienced as a result of this stoppage and computer glitch. we spoke with several travelers

dealing with a lot of delay also. in fact, on the departure board, there were so many delays on thereon, about two to three hours, just a few cancellations for the early morning flights, and we did see a handful of departures, starting at 8:30 this morning. atlanta was one of the first airports to get back in the air. i spoke with one woman a few minutes ago, a southwest passengers, trying to get back -- she said she was in an uber on her way to the airport when she got her notice that the flight had been delayed. she thought she might be going through the holiday nightmare that was played out on tv. she is, in fact, relieved that's not the case. listen to what she had to say. >> my original flight time was headed to denver, a the way here in the uber, got the notice we were 2 1/2 hours delayed. at that point, what are we going

to do? can't turn back. we're here just to wait it out. >> reporter: at atlanta international airport, things are pretty calm. flights have resumed. we don't know how long it will take for all the airlines to get the passengers on these planes and move through this backlog. hopefully by the end of the day. back to you. >> if you had been caught up in the holiday mess with southwest, and now this, you might think you're charlie brown with the rain cloud above your head. thank you. miles o'brien, what kind of things might bring a highly crucial system like this one down? what are the possibilities? >> we could do down the path of some nefarious attempt, some cyberattack, but it could be as

simple as a single-point failie. that's troubling. aviation is safe, because it is redundant, it has resilience built into it. ironly this notice to air missions, formerly notice to air men, that's a redunt danes. you have your public safety rules, flight plan, and before you take off you have the ntams. so it is part of the redundant system, but perhaps doesn't have enough redundancy itself. we need to look at it, with the persistent underfunding of faa investment at the air travel control level. it's a bit of a house of cards, and quite a commendable thing

that air traffic control pulls off what it does on a daily basis, and this is just one area that the faa needs to focus on and add that layer of redundancy. >> i think that's what we're hearing today. athena just noted senator cantwell, to your point, miles, talking about the need for redundancy with this program in particular. and we were talking earlier how many of the systems are so old, and yes thousands of flights depend on them every single day. why is it so tough to bring it up to speed? >> it's just amazing that the system works as well as it does. i often marvel at it for the lack of technological advancement over the years. it's been difficult to get, frankly, out of the area of tubes. we're past that now, but the

system, the architecture has its wards post-war, '50s, radar systems, and it's been slow to move into the era of satellites and futucomputers. there's inherent safety that goes along with it, but you have to go in with layered redundancy to make sure when something like this fails doesn't shut down the system. the good news is, this is not a safety issue. this is an inconvenience issue, but it does underscore the fact there are technological gaps in the system that need to be addressed. >> so, to fix those gaps, miles, is the obstacle money? >> yeah. >> is it disruption? what is it? >> always follow the money, jim. as you know, as any reporter, right? >> yeah. >> frankly there's a direct line between infrastructure and money.

if you want a system that can operate at the level of safety we expect out of our air traffic control system, you have to keep investing in it. when problems like this come up, they should not be ignored. they shouldn't be swept under the rug and put together with bailing wire and duct tape. still to come here, parts of california bracing for more rain. this, of course, is adding to the inundated areas. the pictures really defy descriptions in some cases. we'll go live to santa cruz. >> from drought conditions to flood conditions, we'll continue to monitor the delays as flights resume after the major faa system outage. lightweight. clinically proven. 48-hour hydration. for that healthy skin glow. neutrogena®. for people with skin.

right now many across california are battling the devastating effects of maddive flooding and landslides. >> the severe weather responsible for the death of at least 17 people across the state. camilla bernal is in central california for us this morning. there's more on the way. >> reporter: yeah, there's more on the way. officials are saying, look, we see the light at the end of the tunnel, but the reality is we could have ten more days of rain in the state of california. that has a lot of people still worried. there are many evacuation orders lifted here in santa cruz county, but when people come back, many are coming back to this, a flooded street.

the neighbors here have told me sometimes it does flood here, but the water recedes quickly. this time around what you're seeing is a lot of standing water. this is the worst that many neighbors have seen. they say the different part is having storm after storm after storm, and the water not receding, so you're dealing with this on our commute to work. there are some areas where the water is get a little bit better, but you have to push the water out of the your home, so you're either deal with water or mud and die be. in another neighborhood they were literally shoveling mud out of their homes. i talked to the county. they told me what they're doing is putting up they yellow papers on homes with significant damage. we know this is one of them, a home that got flooded. so once you have that, you may

be able to apply for federal aid. it is, of course, difficult. the county is doing that as we speak. they say they have already gotten about 500 assessments done so far. they believe out of those, about 130 have significant damage, the yell roa papers. at least five are just incredible damage to the point they don't think there's any turning back, no solution for those homes. that's what you're going to see, as the city and the county assess the damage. >> what an undertaking. camilla, we appreciate it. capital been rath joins us from the ventura county fire department. you're there in ventura county in the south. what is the situation? >> good morning. right now as the sun is coming

up, it's another beautiful day out here. things are starting to dry out. the levels in the rivers and creeks are lessening, and work crews are able to get the road opened back up so we can get to the areas that are hard to get to. >> are there still people in danger, in your view? >> um, no, not immediate danger. there's of course dangers because, you know, the rivers and creeks, they washed out a lot of roads and a lot of access areas, as well as the ground is saturated it's just a matter of people being diligence and aware of their surroundings. >> this is massive undertaking to assess all those roads or areas that may still be somewhat vulnerable and to begin the cleanup. do you have everything and everyone that you need?

>> well, of course we could always use more. however, this is not unfamiliar territory for us. we have great partners working with our local laud enforcement and oes agencies, being ability to survey the damage to tackle it, starting in one area, moving on to the next. >> we've been showing some images of some of the rescued you and your teams deared out. can you describe some of the most difficult ones? >> unfortunately some weren't able to be made that night. using different strategies and tactics, putting a ladder down in a moving river, using the boats. it's been trying. the crews have been absolutely amazing, using their training and being safe. >> we wish you the best of luck. we know there's more bad

westerly headed your way. captain brian mcgrath, thank you so much. >> take care, appreciate it, be safe, stay dry, and if you see moving water, turn around, don't drown. >> that's so important. people think they can drive through, but then they end up in power. now putting pressure on the biden family. what the new chairman wants from the treasury department. we don't even need aneal'sd eight-time all-starr to tell you about it. wait what? get it before it's gone on the subway app!p! i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that. [woo hoo!] ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health.

president biden is saying he did not know classified documents were taken to a private office during his time as vice president. he also didn't ask what the content of those documents was when he learned about them. cnn has learned that u.s. intelligence memos and briefing materials were among the documents found. our senior correspondent has more. do we know of any others? do we know with regard to those countries what were involved here? >> jim and erica, this would have been briefing memos, things that would have been prepared for the then vice president, as he was doing calls with foreign leaders, or discussing those

countries, which include iran, ukraine and the united kingdom. so that's what we understand these documents to be from the period of 2013-2016, discrete he was vice president. we know that joe biden as vice president was obviously very much into getting his daily briefings. this would seem to align with that. the question here remains, you know, how did those ten documents end up there. that's something the fbi and justice department have been looking into. the u.s. attorney in chicago has briefed the department, the top agency members, on the basic findings that they have so far. the question is, what happens next? i think certainly for the justice department and for the politicians on capitol hill, you know, that's a very big question, because they believe that donald trump -- certainly republicans believe that donald trump was treated unfairly in the way that the

justice department handled the classified documents that were found at mar-a-lago. big difference between the two cases, but you understand where they're going. here is kevin mccarthy, the speaker, talking a little bit about that, how these things were handle. >> think about this. they have gotten away with so much for so long. this was discovered before the last election. they think the law doesn't apply to them. they think they write their own. that's what infuriates the american penalty. america believes in fairness and honesty. that's not what we're getting from them. >> reporter: of course, you guys know there's huge differences between this case with joe biden and with donald trump. one of the big differences, of course, is that the former president spent months fighting, basically, with the justice department and archives over turning over those documents. that's the reason why you had an extraordinary search that happened at mar-a-lago last august.

that's the reason why that happened that way. in the way we understand this episode has developed, you know, the president's team found these documents and immediately notified the national archives and turned them over. big differences, but that might not matter for merrick garland as he tries to decide what he should do next. >> evan perez, thank you so much. we have new cnn reporting this morning about house oversight chairman james comer. he's requesting family transactions from the treasury department, including bank activity reports, what's known as sars, suspicious activity

reports. >> joining us to discuss is errol lewis, and molly --. whether it's questions about biden and hunter biden, we're getting a clear sense of what the targets of a republican-controlled house would be. >> that's right. they have been saying for a while now, since before the election, this is what they planned to. if they got control of the house, just on a practical level, investigations and accountability and oversight are really one of the only things that the republican joifrt can do unilaterally. and importantly, since we've seen how divided they were against themselves, this is something they broadly agree on. this is a house republican majority decrying what they call

partisan witch hunts for a while, and now they get to investigate. we'll see what they turn up. >> a number of them ran on these grievances, and the promise of investigations, special investigations into the biden family. it does raise the question of, can they investigate and legislate at the same time? how much legislation and governance will we see happening? >> that's the question, erica. if grievance politics is what you ran on, you have to stoke that grievance. the best-case scenario, it seems to me would they would begin an investigation, and quickly find out there's more important thing they should be working on, and quietly put this to bed and tell their followers, we looked into it. that's what they promised to. that's fine, look into it, but to a certain extent, the public may recognize they may be studying for the wrong test on capitol hill. politics, elections, leadership

are all about the future, not about going back to figure out what might have happened or what should have been looked at before what will you willy -- it will be two cycles ago pretty soon. >> there are really two legal issues when it comes to trump, holding the documents, but then the obstruction of -- resisting handing them overs, and lawyers said it's really the obstruction line that would most likely to create a charge if the justice department decided to go that way. had the -- has the biden case affected that decision? >> well, it's likely -- >> i was going to give molly a chance, but i would love to hear your thoughts, errol.

>> accidentally taking documents is not a crime at all. refusing to give it back when scud by a duly constituted authority is -- >> molly, your thoughts? >> the justice department will have to show they were treating both the president and the ex-president fairly in this case, following the same procedures when it comes to both of them. you heard president biden read that statement prepared by his lawyers in mexico yesterday, bending over backwards on the one hand to show he's cooperating with whatever investigation is going to take place to get to the bottom of this, and on the other hand trying to create some separation, saying he didn't know about it, doesn't know what was in the documents, so as the investigation proceeds, we'll find out if that was actually the case and how significant these documents actually were. if that proves to be the case,

the just department has to show they're following the same procedures in both cases. >> i was struck by recent comments just a short time ago from kevin mccarthy, when asked specifically about george santos, he said he would not be on key committees, but as a number of our smart colleagues have pointed out, you do not having to be on a key committee, but a committee. >> that's true. they are not sitting on a non-key committee. george santos is not going to be a big, big problem for the republicans. clearly they're going to push him in the corner. how isolated that corner s. i guess, remains to be seen. he's already given them the main vote they needed, to elevate mccarthy to the speakership. >> but, molly, isn't the question whether he should be

serving at all? he ran on a series of lies, and there seems to be remaining legal questions about whether he broke laws in terms of his financial disclosures. >> that's right. there's been some complaints filed to that effect. we know there are some investigations, include on the local level into whether any laws were broken, but as ail of errol wag saying, this is a minor headache compared to everything else they're dealing with. if he survives the complaints and issue, then it's up to the voters. >> they'll have to wait two years for that chance. thank you both. >> thank you. in illinois, the democratic governor pritzker just signed legislation banning the sale of high-capacity magazines and rapid-fire switches that can

easily convert handguns into assault weapons. it also requires existing owners of automatic semirifles to register them with police. you may love it, you may hate it, but tiktok really is everywhere, no matter how you feel about it, now from psychologists, they say the app is so popular among gen-z,z, its harming them.

one new york mom is taking leave from her job, so she can

watch over her baby at a hospital where nurses have been on strike for a week. logan has been in the nicu for three months. his mom says she's too scared to leave him alone there. instead, she chose to take a leave from work. >> you can imagine her concern. this is as more than 7,000 nurses went on strike, demanding higher pay, more staffer to help keep patients safe. that's the key there. they say they want help. elizabeth, any of us who have had family members in hospital care know the nurses are the front line. what is the state of not just this strike, but broader shortages in this country. this is not the first time we've heard of this. >> right. certainly not the first time. anyone who's ever in the hospital, as you said, nurses are where it's at. they take care of us.

this is a hard job physically, emotionally, in every way. nurses in various parts of the country say the ratios are too high, they're assigned too many patients. things got worse during the pandemic, because really patients sometimes were outright violent to nurses. i was speaking this week to nurses who were kicked, punched, nurses who were sworn at by people who weren't happy with their care, who were anti-vaccine, all sorts of reasons. let's take a look at a survey. this was back in 2020, when we hadn't even experienced the entire pandemic yet. a surveyed that looked at 23 nurses july through december of 2020, two in five of them say they intended to leave the profession after two years. that's really a problem. that really says something, that something is wrong if, you know, you go into nursing because you want to help people. you were referring earlier to the moment, lori revis, in new

york, she had a baby born early, and here's what she had to say about what she's experiencing, because her baby is with nurses who don't know her baby very well. >> my baby suffered cardiac arrest two days before the strike happened, so now i'm dealing with that. they're short of staff, um, so it's just very scary to think that i can't even go to the bathroom without me being concerned, you know? >> i can really feel for show she must feel. i had three childrens in nicu. every single minute is so worrisome. to have nurses there not accustomed to your child, that must be really difficult. >> yes, indeed. we hope they reach resolution soon. elizabeth cohen, thanks so much. thanks to all of you joining us today.
