9:00 am
how about you man up. admit you were gruberred into selling that bmgz care bull crap? in hindsight, we were right and you, i call yours grand bull crap canyon. i indicated to speaker boehner several months ago that if in fact, congress failed to act, i would use all the lawful authority that i possess to try to make the system work better. and that's going to happen. >> we're going to fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. this is the wrong way to govern. >> well, it didn't take long after the midterms. at first we heard a great deal about both sides working together to find some compromise. now a showdown in the works between a defiant president and the congress over the contentious issue over immigration. now we're hearing that the
9:01 am
president is getting set to make his move as early as next week. coming up, what impact will this have on the newly elected congress and the lame duck session that's still around until the end of the year? you'll hear from republican senator john barrasso and democratic congressman henry quair whose district is right on the border. the bizarre murder mystery in colorado that accuses a husband of pushing his wife off a cliff to collect millions in her insurance policy but that's not all. investigators are also probing the death of his first wife who also died under bizarre circumstances. a huge triumph in space exploration may be meeting a premature end. we're talking about the robot on that super comet that's now in the dark. that has scientists on edge. can it be saved? hello, everybody, i'm uma pemmaraju. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now.
9:02 am
and we begin this hour with round two for obamacare enrollment under this way at this hour. the white house is hoping a year of improvements to the troubled website will have paid off. as republican leaders in congress say, they have a main date from the american people to repeal it. the supreme court takes up a case that could remove a key part of that law. peter ducey standing by live. >> a year ago, millions went to healthcare.gov, tried to create accounts and get coverage and couldn't because the website didn't work. after months of hearings and firings and improvement, the second open enrollment period is here. many lawmakers are skeptical this time will be much better. >> obviously, the president's not signing anything big. he's going to have to continue to stake his legacy on what he thinks is the success of this law. we're seeing that's not the case
9:03 am
with skyrocketing deductibles and everything else. >> reporter: there are big court cases coming up that could put many key parts of the law and mechanisms for enforcing it in peril. president's promising the prices will be low and people will continue to get health insurance who never had it before. >> health careices have grown at their slowest rate in nearly 50 years. this year, insurance premiums for families were covered through an employer grew at a rate tied for the lowest on record. >> consumers have three months starting today to sign up for plans before the open enrollment period ends. secretary burrwell has an event today in virginia and we're hoping to get more details about today's rollout any time now. >> all right, peter, thank you very much. and now for reaction, let's get to our next guest. i recently talked with senator john barrasso to find out his concerns moving forward in the second year of the signups. >> my concern is for the american people, it's going to
9:04 am
be harder to keep your doctor, harder to keep the insurance you had and liked, and what we see now is even the administration is lowering their expectations for the number of people that are signing up. and the reason that so few people are signing up in my opinion is because they're realizing it's not a good deal. they're paying more, but yet they have higher co-pays, higher deductibles. they can't see their doctor. so they realize it's not a good deal. i think that's a big problem the administration's dealing with. the other is today is the first day people are really seeing what the costs are going to be. the administration pushed the opening day for this year's program until after the election so people wouldn't see how much more expensive it's going to be now that we're in to year two. >> not only that, but the penalties if you don't sign on. >> well, that's exactly it. because if you don't sign on, the costs you'd have to pay the irs, the fines under this individual mandate, the most unpopular part of the health
9:05 am
care law that says everybody in the united states has to have a government-approved insurance program is just so offensive to the american people. >> i know that there are efforts under way to try to strip parts of obamacare in the big picture, but what about those who say, you know what, you've got to go ahead and present -- go ahead and vote for repealing obamacare altogether and see how that forces the president's hand. >> we will have that vote in the united states senate to repeal. i would imagine all the republicans would vote to completely repeal the president's health care law. the democrats will have to decide for themselves. barack obama is still in the white house. so at a minimum, we need to strip out the worst parts of the law that are doing the damage to the american people and to the american economy and a number of those bills have already passed the house, many with bipartisan support. things that have to do with the employer mandate.
9:06 am
even elizabeth warren, one of the most liberal democrats in the senate, supports eliminating this medical device tax because of the impact on both jobs as well as on innovation. so there is bipartisan support for a number of these components. we'll have a vote on these. harry reid has just blocked votes on all of these things over the last several years under his control but with the republican majority, we're going to be able to take these things to the floor of the senate. we're going to need democrats to vote with us on a number of those. democrats have voted as well in the house. my main concern is the health care of the american people. >> i want to switch over to immigration really quickly. we keep hearing the president does want to force the issue. by next week, we could see what he wants in terms of the overall immigration bill he feels is going to make the difference. why do you think this president's pushing so hard right now before the end of the year to get a bill done and telling congress, if you don't get it done, i'm just going to
9:07 am
go ahead and do it myself unilaterally? >> the president now is absolutely disregarding the will of the american people. that's my concern. we had an election just a week ago. he's ignoring what happened there. and he calls it executive action. i call it executive amnesty. >> you were in that meeting right after the election at the white house where everybody was supposed to come together to try to figure out a way to move forward in a positive direction knowing that the white house was going to deal with the republican controlled congress. >> the idea was to go in and discuss jobs, the economy, affordable energy, affoable health care. the president really wasn't focused on any of those things. i was astonished at how little time was given to any of that. he was so focused on what i call this executive amnesty. >> why not wait until next year with the new congress? why not let that go until there can be real discussion about
9:08 am
that? >> i would hope cooler heads at the white house would prevail. that the president would say, okay, get sworn in, we just have this large election with big results. and when people get sworn in, this should be an issue. i agree it should be an issue. we have to do things to refor our immigration laws. i think many of the people running for office said the same thing. we ought to be able to do that. find common ground. work for common solutions. it's not going to be everything the president wants. but it's going to be some things heading in the right direction -- >> -- showdown in the next few days? >> we'll see. >> all right, senator, thank you. i think that the best way, if folks are serious about getting immigration reform done, is going ahead and passing the bill. and getting it to my desk. and then the executive actions that i take go away. they're superseded by the law that is passed. >> that from the president just one day after the election
9:09 am
signaling he was ready to work with the new gop-controlled congress to get a new immigration reform bill. fast forward to now and the president is making it very clear he's ready to act unilaterally as early as next week to take executive action in the law allowing millions of illegal immigrants to stay without the fear of being deported. joining us now with moran at impact of this showdown, texas congressman henry quayar, who represents a large district at the border. the president asked leaders from both sides to the white house in a bid to show the american people he was ready to work with a republican-controlled congress and find ways for bipartisan cooperation. and yet right now we see a different and defiant president back with his pen in hand, ready to side-step congress, to grant what many are calling amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. american people are saying
9:10 am
they're sick and tired of the bipartisanship and the last thing the country needs is a down and dirty fight over immigration. what say you? >> look, i'd rather have a bipartisan legislative approach to immigration reform. there are democrats and republicans that want to do immigration reform. but, again, if the president wants to go this way, he's used executive actions orders, should i say, executive orders, 193 times. the average is usually between 200 and 400 times. but i prefer, i prefer personally to do a bipartisan immigration reform. just like president reagan and the democrats did in '86. >> the same question i asked barroso, many are wondering why now. the president could let the newly elected congress put a bill together that follows the protocols of the constitution and beyond that the voters have made it quite clear they want both the white house and congress to come up with a clear fix for the economy first. immigration isn't a top priority
9:11 am
right now. >> well, i think the president's probably taking the approach that for the last two years, you know, the senate did pass a bipartisan immigration reform. the house hasn't moved. he did say if the house didn't move, he was going to take this action. i think he's just trying to follow that. again, i prefer a bipartisan approach. this is what the president seems to be moving on right now. >> as a democrat, though, do you think the president, if he goes ahead with his executive actions, that he will, as john boehner says, warning, that it will poison the well? >> well, on behalf of the democrats, most of the democrats, i don't think that will poison the well in their opinion. i want to see immigration reform. i think for the institution that includes the republicans, i think it's going to make it difficult, you know, we've been working on the appropriate bill very hard, with both democrats and republicans. and i think one of the quick
9:12 am
fallouts will probably be the appropriati appropriations. hopefully, we won't shut down the government, but i know it's going to complicate the appropriation process. and we got a deadline of december 11th. >> i know that you're not afraid to stand up to the white house. you did so this summer when there were thousands of people crossing the border illegally. a lot of them children. and they weren't getting the resources that they needed. and there were a lot of problems taking place in your district particularly. but at the same time, just -- can you really say that having a showdown at this moment is something that the american people want? >> well, you know, we certainly don't want, you know, the american public -- and you're absolutely right, and i saw this. the american public is just tired of this bipartisan divided government. people not trying to go in. i think the president is just, quite honestly, just trying to finish this year because he did make a promise saying if there
9:13 am
was no action from the congress, he was going to take this step. i think he's just trying to follow all that. there will be some fallout on this. there is under the authority he can do some things. again, i wish congress would do a bipartisan approach. republicans and democrats that want to do this. >> have you communicated to the white house your concerns? about wanting to have a bipartisan bill? >> i'm told -- i haven't talked to the president of course on this issue. he's been traveling. again, there's some parts of it i don't agree with, but i do want to see immigration reform. >> shifting gears now for a moment to obamacare. you say it is actually working in your state because you're seeing lots folks who had no health care before and they now have the opportunity to have some piece mind. you also admit the law is not perfect. are you and other democrats now ready to work with the gop to amend sections of that law? >> well, the question should be
9:14 am
turned around, is the republicans ready to work with some democrats like myself. i think, you know, the problem is there's two extremes. on one side, republicans want to repeal the law. on the other side, democrats don't want to change one single word. that's true. what we need to do is look at the law, keep the good things about it. there are good things about it. but the bad things -- >> what would you like to see taken out? >> -- other things that we need to change -- >> what would you like to see taken out? >> for example, i'll give you one right away. i wish -- one thing i wish we would have added is some sort of tort reform. i did have some language on tort reform. it was not put in the final bill. number one, the 40-hour week instead of the 30. i think that's another change. there are things we need to change. certainly, we sit down, we can find compromise on those things. >> so you're optimistic there can be compromise? >> i wish, you know, i stopped
9:15 am
predicting what's going to happen in washington base it's so unpredictable. but i hope this year, if we take it piecemeal by piecemeal and say here are the things we're going to change. we're going to keep the other parts that work, i think that's the way to approach it. every state capital or washington in past -- you pass a piece of legislation, you come back and you repeal, modify, the parts that are not working, but you keep the good things that are working. that's the way the regulative process works. but it's not been working that way in the last years. >> so one thing's clear, the american people really want to see some change up on capitol hill. congressman, great to see you. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you so much. and you have a good day. >> you too, all best. now, back to the issue of immigration. i want to hear what you have to say about where it's headed. do you feel the president has the right to act unilaterally on immigration despite efforts from both sides of the aisle to try to work out a new bill? send me your thoughts in
9:16 am
tweets @umapemmaraju or @anhqdc and we will read some of your answers later in the show. there's a brand-new law today in effect right now affecting thousands of illegal immigrants. new york mayor de blasio signing into law friday allowing officials there not to cooperate with immigration officials trying to deport illegals, unless there's a warrant or the person is convicted of violent crimes. the law mirrors other big cities like san francisco which have made it much more difficult for the i.n.s. to do its job. overseas now. with news that russian president vladimir putin is rumored to be leaving the g-20 summit early. this, after harsh criticism over the ukraine crisis and an icy first day in australia. president obama and canadian prime minister stephen harper slamming mr. putin over russian military aggression in ukraine. the ukrainian crisis is one of the issues world leaders are
9:17 am
focusing on this weekend. at the forefront, a goal to add $2 trillion to the global economy. now, before the end of the summit, each country will present a plan on how they plan to do that. and here are some of the stories coming up during this hour. brand-new developments on the man prosecutors say brutally murdered two wive, pushing one off a cliff and crushing another under his car. all for millions in life insurance money. and you won't believe the new details have uncovered. plus, the united states top military commander makes a surprise visit to iraq. just a couple of days after telling congress u.s. ground troops may be a possibility there. our next guest, former cia director james woolsey, is here to talk about the changing strategy in iraq. and take a look at the surveillance video. right after the break. you will see why this thief lost more than just the beer he
9:18 am
wanted to steal.
9:19 am
9:20 am
9:21 am
9:22 am
welcome back. a bungled burglary all caught on camera. you're watching a man trying to steal two bottles of beer from a convenience store in beavington, oregon. the store owners not willing to give up without a fight. the two owners getting into an all-out brawl with the shoplifter. the thief even losing his pants and his shirt in that crazy scuffle. >> i'm not predicting at this point that i would recommend that those forces in mosul and along the border would need to be accompanied by u.s. forces but we're certainly considering it. we could take ownership of it and then gradually over time transition it back to iraqi security forces, peshmerga, tribes, sunni opposition. >> that's a bit of big news coming out from this week's hearing. general dempsey saying the obama administration may revise its strategy against isis by sending
9:23 am
in ground troops to iraq. general dempsey in iraq today talking with iraqi political and security officials on the next phase of the campaign. now, this is a surprise unannounced trip to this country, since u.s. military advisers were sent in by president obama. it's another sign that the president may be getting closer to recommitting to a war that he promised to end. joining us now, former cia director james woolsey, here with his thoughts on what's going on right now. welcome, sir, always great to have you here. >> good to be with you, uma. >> the surprise trip taking place in iraq now with the joint chiefs chairman there, assessing the situation. do you think it's just a matter of time before we see the ground troops there? >> i hope so. general dempsey's walking back some of president obama's bigger mistakes. and one of his biggest was to have been in a good position at the end of the surge when he took over. people like general keane and
9:24 am
others who had produced the surge left us in a good situation six years or so in iraq. and then to announce that you're not going to keep a force there and to manage the status of forces agreement in such a way that's almost impossible to keep a force there and to announce to the enemy, among other people, that you're leaving and not coming back, there probably isn't a much worse way to fight a war than that. and they're now having to correct it and good, because we are going to have to probably have at least, you know, 15,000 or so people there, not the 3,000 or 4,000 that they're pointed towards now if we're going to help them -- the iraqis, re-establish the situation and also deal with isis, which is a very difficult situation. >> if we send in the ground forces there to help chore up the iraqi force on the ground,
9:25 am
what is winning the war supposed to look like? >> well, i think it would look like the situation at the end of the surge. it wouldn't be perfect. and we probably would not have had our own major ground forces, but we would have had a number of american military officers out on patrol, let's say, and tactical headquarters, with the iraqi government. we'd supply them with the right kind of weapons. close air support. heavy weapons of the sort that they've been requesting for some time, particularly the kurds have been request, and we've not been supplying. we do what was military effective, short of actually deploying large numbers of forces on the ground. and we've fiddled around for several years now. and it's produced really a very difficult situation where we've got to reclaim a lot of things that we once were pretty well
9:26 am
situated on. >> adding to these difficulties is the news that other groups like al nusra are teaming up with isis. the reports coming out they're joining forces to fight the west and the american troops. so tell us what your thoughts are about that and what the implications are for this. >> the various jihadi groups are going to come and go with one another. as a general proposition, i'd say al qaeda, al nusra and the others are plain terrorists, they want to kill a lot of us, and they think they will go to heaven if they do that and we'll go to hell and they're doing that. the really interesting one is the islamic state. because what i think they're trying to do is re-establish the caliphate that was first established under mohammad. that would be a region of total islamic radical rule in which other people -- people of other faiths are killed or converted. and they are work their way kind
9:27 am
of like an oil slick to take over first syria and then iraq and different parts of the middle east, reaching down even into the sinai desert and so forth. and they're doing that in such a way as to expand the rule of the caliphate. they're building a little empire that will get to be a bigger empire over time and in that area where they control, they're looking to have modern weapons, aircraft, et cetera. and to have total totalitarian rule of law that they support. and that's in many ways fundamentally i think more dangerous in a way even then al nusra and al qaeda and the others. >> let me ask you, the deadline's coming up november 24th for the deal that is supposed to be struck with iran and, you know, the fact is many people are saying why have a deal at all because it doesn't appear at this point that iran is honoring its commitments so
9:28 am
far in terms of the inspections and turning over the information about its nuclear ambitions. >> we've already caved years ago. major issue, which is they got to continue the uranium enrichment. the difference being four fomons away, eight months away, doesn't make any difference. >> are you hearing the deadline will come and go and it will be something continued to be discussed or do you see a deal coming through? >> whatever happens that keeps us from having a bad deal, and i think the the deal they're pointing towards is a bad deal, because it lets the iranians continue the ur rannian enrichment. whatever keep us from having a bad deal i would be in favor of. stalling is better than a bad deal. >> thank you for joining us as always. coming up, a capital still divided, despite a decisive message from the american people. from immigration to obamacare and threats of executive actions, the atmosphere is tense
9:29 am
between the white house and the hill. >> he's smart enough politically to know that this is really poisoning the well. frankly, there's a lot of people on our side that can bait us into some sort of fight. >> we'll have a live report coming up on whether anything will get done with this new congress. plus, after a spectacular landing of man's first ride on a comet and some amazing images, the frantic efforts under way to restore lines of communication with the lander. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know genies can be really literal? no. what is your wish? no...ok...a million bucks!
9:30 am
oh no... geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

9:34 am
takes unilateral action overhauling the nation's immigration system. molly heninburg joining us live in washington with more on the battles that are to come. molly. >> they are to come, uma. president obama says he's just about finished waiting on congress to pass immigration legislation. he wants house republicans to accept the democratically controlled senate's immigration bill and house republicans want senate democrats to agree to their version of the bill. so the president says lawmakers should not be surprised if he acts alone by executive action before the end of the year. republicans are threatening to fight, quote, tooth and nail, if the president changes the nation's immigration laws, separate from congress. the president returns from his trip to asia and australia tomorrow and suggests he's prepared for some conflict with congress. >> there are going to be areas of agreement between me and republicans and there are going to be areas of disagreement. there are going to be actions i
9:35 am
take they don't like and there are going to be bills they pass that i don't like. >> meanwhile, house republicans are pushing ahead with the keystone xl oil pipeline. they, along with some house democrats, passed a bill on friday approving the pipeline. the senate is set to vote on the same bill on tuesday. so far, president obama is not on board, which could set up another battle with congress. and then there's obamacare. republicans say they'll try to limit the president's health care overhaul. >> we'll take on obamacare. and we'll propose that congress, not the bureaucrats, have the final say on all new major regulations. this is just the start on getting some important things done in the months ahead. now, after the election, the president may have said "i hear you," but by the looks of things, it's just the opposite. >> on top of all this, keep in mind the government is only funded through december 11th. so the lame duck congress also will have to deal with that in the coming weeks.
9:36 am
uma. >> oh, boy, the fights we have to look forward to. thank you very much. here's something to consider. despite single digit approval ratings and millions of americans wanting new blood, we are seeing the longest stretch in history without a change in the top four congressional leadership spots. senators mitch mcconnell and harry reid and representatives boehner along with nancy pelosi have a combined, get this, years, 38 years of leadership experience between them, with no signs of giving up the spots. flipping jobs as majority and minority leaders. house speaker boehner along with pelosi are expected to their keep posts as well. a new ebola patient expected to arrive in nebraska. the doctor contracted the deadly disease in sierra leone.

he will be the tenth ebola patient being treated in this country and the third treated at nebraska medical center in omaha. still ahead, we have your tweets on today's twitter question. do you feel the president has the right to act unilaterally on immigration despite efforts from both sides of the aisle to work out a new bill? we're going to read some of the best ones later on in our show. a man accused of pushing his wife off a cliff for the insurance money, and it might not be the first time he may have killed a wife for cash. the unbelievable murder mystery coming your way after this. ..

9:42 am
following quite closely. prosecutors this week telling a colorado judge that 58-year-old harold pushed his second wife off a cliff to collect three life insurance policies worth $4.5 million. prosecutors also say they believe he killed his first wife by crushing her under a car 17 years ago. meanwhile, we learned that investigators have spoken with another woman who may have been in his sights before he married his second wife. got that? now, more on the bizarre murder mystery. when you first heard, what comes to mind? >> the first case that comes to mind is the case involving drew petersen. the ex-chicago cop whose third wife died supposedly accidentally in a bathtub that had no water in it. supposedly she had drowned. with this case, there's more evidence that i think the police will have to use against this guy. this guy's behind bars.
9:43 am
they've already got this guy indicted. but the thing that i think really stands out with this case is the fact that there were three insurance policies taken out on the decedent, which is tony, the wife, value of about $4.5 million. and this guy, harold, had actually tried to collect on one of those policies less than 36 hours after this woman had died. >> talk about a stupid move. >> it was very stupid. that's the first thing we as investigators look for. okay, who is to profit or gain from a person's death. just because someone calls the police and says this is an accidental death, just write it up as an accidental death. we look further into it. is there anybody to stand to gain from this person's death and that's what the investigators did out in denver. supposedly, this guy pulled the car over to the side of the road. him and tony walked 150 feet away from where they had actually parked the car to take a picture by a cliff. she was taking the picture and then all of a sudden, according
9:44 am
to harold, the husband, she slipped and fell and fell 50 feet down a cliff and then she died. >> and 36 hours later -- >> he's calling the insurance company saying "where's my check." that is unbelievable. when the investigators first looked at it, they thought it was an accidental death as well. then they started talking to family members of tony and friends of hers and they learned this guy harold was really a con artist. he preyed on women from christian dating websites. tony was a very successful doctor and she had really done well in her career and this guy, this con artist, took advantage of that. >> when they found out about the first wife, they were absolutely surprised to learn that there were similarities. >> the biggest thing that jumps out to me as an investigator is the fact that harold in both of these cases is always the only eyewitness. he's the only one there. even with the first wife supposedly they had a jeep cherokee. the woman was underneath the
9:45 am
truck change a tire. lo and behold, the truck falls on her -- >> first of all, why is she changing it is tire and he's standing by? >> they looked at that as an accidental death. i can tell you the investigators now in denver, they've reopened that case. i believe they're going to reclassify that case to a homicide. >> so as far as this situation goes when it comes to collecting on insurance policies like this, this is a situation where he actually forged the signature? >> it's been alleged. they haven't said that for sure. some of the reports are saying with that third insurance policy, this is critical, that third insurance policy, which was $1.5 million taken out on tony months before she died, supposedly, someone forged her name on that policy. now, who could that someone be? here's the other thing. he, meaning harold, is the only beneficiary of that policy. with the other two policies which total $3 million, he and their child, which is 9 years old, were co-beneficiaries.
9:46 am
it was only the one for $1.5 million that he tried to collect on less than 36 hours after this woman had died. >> that other woman they're talking to is one of the women from the christian dating site as well. >> absolutely. they got a warrant for his computer and they're talking to several other women that this guy has met over the past 14 years. women are starting to talk. they're starting to tell the police how creepy this guy harold was. he goes by the nickname of buzz. and this wednesday, he goes to court for a preliminary hearing. i think buzz is going to get stung by a judge this wednesday. >> there you go. buzz is going to get strung. and the police may wind up finding more information about other missing women. >> let's hope so. >> always good to see you. thank you for your analysis. earth getting a dead signal after sending stunning pictures on the back of a speeding comet in space. scientists making history this week are now scrambling to reconnect with that craft.

can they do that? nasa scientist will be joining us next in our studios. for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. worse and worse.rthritis, i had intense joint pain that got then my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. enbrel helps relieve pain and stop joint damage. i've been on the course and on the road.

enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. enbrel helped relieve my joint pain. but the best part of every journey... dad!!! ...is coming home. ask if enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists, can help you stop joint damage.

did you hear that? for the very first time you're hearing what a comet actually sounds like as it flies through space. this week scientists have successfully landed a robot on a moving comet, making history. the philae lander has been sending spectacular images back to earth but has gone dark. the battery has died after landing in a shadowy area of the comet. the big question now, can it be saved? joining us now to talk more about historic mission, division director dr. jim green. always a treat to have you in the house. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. >> we love having you explain for the audience just was happening at this moment as these amazing discovery take place in space, like last time

talking about the mars curiosity and rover. now we're talking about this comet that just blows your mind when you consider what actually happened this week. >> so 20 years ago this idea of a comet lander and orbiter was conceived by the european space agency. they developed the space craft called rosetta and it has a small lander, they named it philae, then when the rosetta was 20 miles from the comet, it actually released the lander and then put it down on the head of the comet. here's what we call a shape model. this is what it looks like. it's very odd. two major lobes, we don't know if this comet is two pieces that were put together or that something happened to it perhaps a close passage by jupiter stretched it. we really don't know. but it came down into this

region, bounced and then came up about a half mile then finally settled down in another area, very far from where it initially went. but we had great opportunities for some fabulous data. i believe every instrument is reported in. science data got transferred all back to darm stat before the batteries ran out. >> it's a question of the batteries running out at this point and they have to get charged up with solar panels that are part of these space craft. >> yeah, the little philae lander has a whole series of solar panels and they had an opportunity to move it to catch more sun. we could consider it in hibernation at the moment. it might be cold enough that the space craft, the little lander doesn't revive but i would anticipate as the whole comet gets closer to the sun, they'll try to revive it. >> for audience so they have a

better understanding why this mission is under way in the first place, to begin with, it's history. incredible history has been made by the fact it took ten years to make. ten years to make this journey also and this is where we are. it is important because vital information about our universe can be gleaned from this comet. >>ness really a spectacular moment in history for us to try to understand because this is a time capsule. when our solar system was created and cloud collapsed, it first formed the comet before it formed the planet. when we go to a comet and interrogate what this is made of, we're really looking back in time as to how materials collapsed and some of the basic properties of our solar nebula. >> when you consider it's dark right now, do you think they had time to get enough interesting important information to get a

better understanding just in case it goes forever? >> it was never intended to last for a significant period of time. it has a set of ten instruments on it, tasting the comet, looked at the magnetic field and they have an experiment that ran radio waves through the comet and back to the orbiter. that was all very successful. they have already received an enormous amount of date that was planned to be taken by the lander. so it's a tremendous success already. >> no matter what. >> no matter what. >> you're optimistic this is going to get started up again? >> well, roseetta they put in hibernation for years. perhaps philae they can bring back to life. we hope so. it will tell us what's happening in the early part of our solar system. >> so fascinated and great to see you and have you here to
