"happening now" starts right now. ♪ ♪ jon: president obama says the u.s. is partly to blame for climate change but that fixing the problem shouldn't have to damage economic growth. good morning to you, i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee, and president obama arrived in france last night for the start of the global summit on climate change. before he got to work on that, he paid his respects to victims of the paris terror attacks, laying flowers outside the concert hall along with french president and the mayor of paris. the president's time in paris comes amid extremely tight security, as you know, and the continuing manhunt for these two terror suspects.

kevin corke is traveling with the president, he's live in paris with more. kevin? >> reporter: no surprise the security process here has been overwhelming, a very, very strong posture as we expected given the number of world leaders that are obviously in attendance at this u.n. climate summit, to say nothing of the fact that as you pointed out a couple of weeks ago, of course, this city was hit by a devastating attack as 130 people died at the hands of professed muslim terrorists. as you can also well imagine, the authorities here didn't want to have large scale gatherings out and about in the city of paris. that did not filter down successfully to the people, in fact, we saw several thousand folks taking to the streets of paris. and while i cannot report any seriously injuries, obviously, there were some arrests. meanwhile, president obama has met with the leaders of two of the world's leading greenhouse gas emitters, china and india, as you see there alongside india's prime minister.

the president says this is a crucial moment to not only define the terrorists who seek to destroy and divide us, it's also a key moment to do our best to protect life today and tomorrow. >> an act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us from building the future we want for our children. what greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than martialing our best efforts to save it? >> reporter: but, of course, critics would argue is this really a concurrent fight? you know, the one that puts the battle against terror alongside the battle against global warming? they would simply say, at least the skeptics would, that it's not really a concurrent battle at all x. in particular you're noticing some skepticism from critics about the president's so-called tread water strategy as they like to put it which is to say he's doing just enough to credibly get by by saying, yes,

i'm battling isis, but not doing enough to tamp them down totally. listen to some experts. >> to talk about containment is really a joke. isis may be geographically contained in syria and iraq, but their efforts around the world to project terrorism and to commit terrorism is as robust today as it's ever been. >> reporter: and, of course, that's the real question, will this gathering make a difference on that end, and how do you successfully tie the two issues together? now, as you also probably can imagine, the president will be having a number of bilateral meetings and sideline meetings. in fact, i guess about an hour ago he met with russia's president vladimir putin, talking about the battle against isis and also the ongoing crisis in iser ya. as you -- in syria. as you know, things have been heating up there, to say the least. for now, back to you. jenna: a lot to watch. kevin, thank you.

jon: back here in the united states a number of lawmakers on capitol hill are demanding a say in any deal the president makes in paris, but the white house is arguing the president doesn't need congressional approval, saying existing laws give him all of the authority he needs. joining us now, daniel halperin, online editor of the weekly standard, also betsy woodruff, political reporter at the daily beast. welcome to both of you. so it looks like, daniel, we are headed to a fight over executive power once again. >> right. this is not a dissimilar fight from the ones we've had before, of course, on immigration where president obama took executive action, circumventing congress and congressional authority to pass through executive, effectively what is executive amnesty. likewise with the iran deal. treaties, of course, as the constitution states should go through the senate. president obama redefined the iran deal to not be a treaty so it didn't have to go through the senate, didn't have to get

congressional approval in quite the same way. it was a little trickier, did have to get a congressional vote. likewise, president obama when it comes to this climate change, he's going to do everything he can not to put it before the republican congress. obviously, republicans see the climate agenda very differently than president obama does. jon: betsy, even members of his own party say this is not a president who likes to negotiate. he doesn't like to get involved in the nitty-gritty of legislation. but would it not make for a stronger deal if he could call it a treaty and get senate ratification of this? >> absolutely, without a doubt. and, in fact, he's in kind of an uncomfortable position because the e.u. and particularly france want the deal that comes out of this meeting to be legally binding. if it's not, they argue it won't have as much of a beneficial impact on the environment and on co2 emissions. so european nations are hoping that the president will come around and get on board with some kind of agreement that would necessarily, that would necessitate congressional approval. however, the united states

emissaries are saying, heck no, because they know that if it gets sent to congress, the odds are very high that republicans will either scuttle anything that was particularly tough on climate issues or that the deal to come out wouldn't be as impactful. so the president's kind of in an awkward position on this one. jon: well, if this is sort of a legacy issue for him, daniel, if he signs this thing as, you know, as a presidential action, it doesn't leave much of a legacy, because the next be president could potentially undo it if it doesn't have treaty status, right? >> well, that's one way of looking at it. but i think if you're president obama, you'd rather get something done rather than nothing, and this is what he can get done. president obama realizes i think in a way that's different than george w. bush or bill clinton, you know, you don't want to move to the middle, you want to satisfy your base, your most ardent supporters. i think that's what he's trying to do, just get what he can done, get it through whatever it

takes and set a precedent for american involvement later on in this global fight against climate change or whatever they call it these days. i think that's his goal here rather than get nothing done and come up short and come up empty. jon: it comes against the background of the paris attacks. obviously, these talks are being held in paris. and some of the republicans who are running to succeed him have been, essentially, mocking the president's focus on climate change. listen to carly fiorina here. >> is delusional. for president obama and hillary clinton and anyone else to say that climate change is our near-term, most severe security threat. it is isis, period. followed closely by iran and perhaps russia. jon: so after isis pulls off those paris attacks, does she have a point? betsy? >> well, republicans are certainly going to be making that case, right? because in terms of what americans actually see day-to-day fears about, for

instance, isis' growth, isis' spread seems much more present, much more acute than fears about weather changing. now, an interesting dynamic here too though is when it come toss the united states' geopolitical position, this climate change event is kind of significant because the countries that are going to be most opposed to any sort of tough deals, one of those countries is russia. of course, the president's taken a lot of flak from these same republican candidates for not being tough enough on russia when it comes to national security issues, including russia's role in the war on isis. you know, pushing russia to be a better partner in some of the airstrikes. as you discussed earlier, the president met with vladimir putin today to talk about these climate issues and foreign policy questions. overall, it's interesting to see whether he'll handle the climate issue with a little more muscle than some of these other geopolitical conditions. jon: so, daniel, prediction. does the senate win this battle over executive power?

>> no, i predict the senate once again loses this battle. however, it will continue to be an issue. hillary clinton will have to weigh in, the republican candidates will have to weigh in. it will continue to be an issue as we go forward in the republican and democratic primaries and in the general election. this is not yet done even though in the short term this senate and republicans on capitol hill are likely to lose. jon: we'll see what comes out of paris where you know they are on pins and needles with 150 heads of state there, all that security. daniel, wept city, thank you both. jenna: a controversial surveillance program at the nsa is now dark. the agency ending its bulk collection of americans' phone records. that information will now be collected and held by our phone companies. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live in washington with more for us now. >> reporter: the nsa has ended its bulk collection of data that began after 9/11 to track terror suspects, but after the snowden leaks, the program became a symbol of government overreach.

under the new rules, the data is collected and held by the phone companies, requiring court action to query the database. critics say it limits the government's ability to identify terrorist networks. after the paris attacks, some senior lawmakers are now arguing that shuttering the government-run program takes a valuable tool off the table given the fact that the paris suspects were using encrypted apps to hide their communications from the french intelligence services. on fox news sunday, the republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee said the program made the connection between operatives overseas and their ties inside the u.s. >> anytime you can take electronics and use those selectors, it's beneficial to the world's intelligence community. and the united states made a real mistake when they eliminated in this program where we could search foreign, known terrorist telephone numbers to see if they had talked to anybody in the united states. >> reporter: the ranking

member of the house intelligence committee, democrat congressman adam schiff, said the tragedy in paris should not be used to restart the program, adding the bipartisan agreement to end the bulk collection of data shows how privacy and security are not mutually exclusive. jenna: catherine, thank you. jon: the u.s. embassy this kabul is warning american citizens there after getting, quote, credible reports of an imminent attack in the afghan capital, now urging all u.s. citizens to exercise extreme caution moving around the city for at least the next 48 hours. this comes as the u.s. state department continues to warn americans not to travel to afghanistan because of the unstable security situation there. jenna: well, jury selection underway today in the trial of william porter. he's the first of six city officers to stand trial in baltimore for the death of freddie gray who was critically injured and later died in police custody. porter is facing manslaughter and misconduct charges in the

incident that sparked riots in the city. leland vittert is live in baltimore with the latest. >> reporter: jenna, to give you an idea of how hard it might be to find a fair and impartial jury here in baltimore, the judge asked the 80 or so jurors who showed up in the courtroom behind me if any of them had not heard of the freddie gray case, had not heard that the city reached a settlement with freddie gray's family in the wrongful death case, all of them indicated they had heard of both things. officer william porter arrived at the courthouse today, used to come here as a witness as a police officer, now he is here as a defendant. jury selection goes on. remember, the defense attorneys had asked for the trial to be moved outside of baltimore to try to get jurors who may not have had such passionate opinions about this case, and experts say picking a jury in a cop trial is extraordinarily difficult. >> normally as a defense lawyer

you don't want people on your jury that would believe police officers above all else. but in this case you actually do want people that -- you want them more neutral because there's going to be a lot of police officers that are going to testify for the state, but then there's going to be a lot of police officers testifying for the defense. >> reporter: now, officer porter's defense team is expected to call 25 character witnesses in this, the first of the six trials against those charged in freddie gray's death. interestingly enough, prosecutors want porter to testify against the other five officers, so this trial sets the tone both in terms of the community and how it will react and also legally in terms of how this case will be handled going forward. there's been a lot of rulings on what the jury and cannot see. one of the things they will be shown is the initial video taken of freddie gray that was played so many times to show his condition before he was loaded into that police van, but they will not hear about how or why he was arrested. another interesting point,

jenna, is that the jury will take a field trip of sorts once it's seated, once the trial begins, they will leave the courtroom behind me and then head downstairs into a secure garage, if you will, and that is where they will bring the van that freddie gray sustained all those injuries in so the jury can see for itself what happened. jenna: it'll be an interesting case to watch for many, many reasons. leland, thank you very much. jon: there's an incredible new detail to share on the largest burglary in english history. the surprising way prosecutors say one of the thieves traveled to the hatton garden diamond district to commit that $21 million heist. also cyber monday in full swing, but many bargain hunters went online before the big day. so does that cut into the black friday shopping action? and what are the sales really like now? we're live with an economic update. @oyu0x?hy@x@8p

seeing the storm a little farther towards the north and bringing in a lot of heavy snow across parts of iowa and now parts of southern minnesota as well. the pink stuff on the radar, that is actually some freezing rain, so we have icing occurring as well across parts of iowa early today and winter storm warnings in effect, widespread winter weather advisories stretching from parts of northern minnesota and wisconsin all the way could down to partsf kansas. a widespread area. and the other thing to note is temperatures are going to be hovering in the upper 20s, low 30s, that means it's going to be a very heavy, wet snow out here across, again, minnesota, participants of south dakota and also across iowa. you're going to have to keep that in mind as you do some shoveling. east of the storm, temperatures are warmer, so across parts of the great lakes, many areas are just going to be seeing some rain across places like michigan. how much snow are we talking about? anywhere between 6 to even 12

inches of snow out here, so this is quite significant, and we're going to be feeling the impacts from the storm not only today, but also as we head into tuesday and early wednesday morning for some of you. so it will be a prolonged period of time. you're not going to get all that snow just during a couple of hours out there. at least that's some welcome news. meanwhile, across parts of the southeastern mid west, we're dealing with rainfall into tomorrow, and we could be seeing as much as 2 to even 4 inches of rain, locally higher amounts are possible, so flash flooding will be a concern. flood watches have been issued already across tennessee and also into southwestern parts of virginia. jon? jon: that's a big system. maria, thank you. jenna: we now know the identities of the two civilians killed in addition to that police officer in that horrific planned parenthood shooting in colorado springs. 35-year-old jennifer markovksy and 29-year-old kiere stewart.

consider renewing expiring tax breaks like the child tax credit and one for business spending on research and development. these issues are typically contentious, and to exercise their spending authority, lawmakers are also looking to insert other changes to that spending bill. some republicans are pushing to attach to the government funding bill measures to defund planned parenthood, alter president obama's program to allow thousands of syrian refugees into the united states and provisions to permit oil exports and eliminate certain regulations. supporters say lawmakers are simply exercising their constitutional power, opponents say they are risking a government shutdown. and as congress tries to work out these issues, there are also objections over federal spending policy and whether the government is spending too much and doing so on the appropriate programs. jenna? jenna: we'll see what they come up with, rich. thank you. ♪ ♪ >> i saw it at the time, i stick by it. hundreds of people have confirmed it.

bruce, radio talk show host and fox news contributor, alan colmes is also with us, host of the alan colmes show, nationally syndicated by fox news radio. does chuck todd have a point? >> well, it sounded a little bit like talk radio there. [laughter] an unbiased journalist. look, i don't know if he -- i would love to hear him approach barack obama that way or even brian williams who he sits with over there at npc. it's an interesting attitude to have. look, this is what they prefer to have, i suppose, it gets them all upset. i know the president now is talking about the weather in paris, and we've had, of course, these massacres there and terrorism around the world. seems like the priorities are a little screwed up. you've got the media and the democrats, they don't want you talking about the nature of the world and what's really going on. i think that chuck todd on "meet the press" as a supposed journalist, to approach any guest in that fashion is absurd -- >> it's exactly what he should be doing.

>> maybe i should be hosting "meet the press." who knew? >> good dig if you get it. this is exactly what a journalist should do. he's the leading republican candidate with 30 some odd percent of the points going to him at this point, and he should be confronted on these kinds of things. produce the video. he says there's a video. his campaign manager says the media's hiding the video. go ahead, produce it. you know, in a digital world, it would have gone viral by now. produce the video. if you're saying this exists, there's got to be tape of it, right? produce it. jon: it also is curious, tammy, donald trump says i've got a very good memory, but he can't tell us where he saw it. >> we're all human beings, and i think this is what's interesting to americans though. we are tired of people being bullied into apologizing. we're tired of people being afraid to speak their mind. we're tired of the media and the establishment running around saying they're the best ones to do this job and yet if donald trump is the problem, look at the world.

all of these supposedly wonderfully-suited people and stable people who have been running the world, we've got world war iii, we've got isis, we've got an awful economy -- >> and this guy wants to be president. >> -- and we've got a guy worrying about the weather. i think the american people can make a decision about what's appropriate. donald trump has been created by this system, and chuck todd's upset? maybe they should be confronting barack obama with that same kind of passion -- >> it's funny how you want to change the topic from the leading republican candidate who'd like to have the white house to barack obama about which this has nothing to do. and -- >> who's in charge right now? >> he's running for president -- >> but barack obama's in charge. >> as chuck todd pointed out, this is a republican candidacy. as chuck todd pointed out, words matter. here's a guy that said -- you know what's even worse than what he said about muslims on rooftops is when he wants to give id badges to muslims. this is something he needs to be confronted about as well. where is the media -- he did say it. he agreed to it.

he wants to identify muslims, and that'll be more damaging. >> but we've already done that with the terror database. this is where it happens when -- >> nothing's done. >> several weeks later we talk about it as though it's a fact. this is the problem with sometimes what the media does when they're looking for headlines. i know this is politics. >> this is a man who wants to be president -- >> i understand that. >> he wants to profile people by religion. >> donald trump has no power right now, and if chuck todd is going to get excited about something, let's get excited about where the world is on fire. >> let's get excited about what people who would hike to be president -- like to be president can back up their words. jon: many republican candidates have long been saying that donald trump will not be the nominee of the party, but so far that doesn't seem to be heading this their direction. listen here to governor john kasich of ohio. >> i know all the press keeps speculating on what he's going to do. you all said he was going to fall, then he didn't. now you're all, you know, you're

all, you know, up in the air about, well, maybe he's going to make it. he's not going to make it. jon: well -- [laughter] that probably will earn him a nastygram from donald trump because -- >> oh, poor john getting a nastygram from donald. >> you know what? i love this establishment though. these are the people that told us they knew who was going to win in 2008 and 2012, that they've been in charge -- jon: so you think the republican establishment deserves this? >> look, i am not a fan of donald trump but, my goodness, these people who have ruined this country, both sides of the aisle, who sit there as though they're know it alls, that's what they thought. they thought they knew who was going to be president. this did upset their plans a little. john kasich, jeb bush are very upset because they thought this was their game. the american people have changed it. they don't like the direction it's going in, but i don't have any sympathy -- >> john kasich and jeb bush are much more deserving of the white house than donald trump. >> says the liberal, proves my point.

his father for not giving him the money that he wanted and killed him in cold blood, set it up to look like a suicide. now we know that the son has a long history of mental illness problems. he's been treated with medications, he has had many arrests that seem to sort of feed boo this idea that he -- into this idea that he may be mentally ill. so now the defense is saying he's not competent to stand trial. jenna: the list is long, jonna, when you look at his past history with doctors. but the d.a.'s forensic psychologist says that really all of his symptoms could be attributed to the abuse of drugs and he wasn't really asked about his drug use, and perhaps that's a factor. who do you believe in this? >> well, it's going to be a battle of the experts, of course. but we have to remember there's a difference between being declared incompetent to stand trial and being insane, and it sounds like the defense is going to hit a one-two punch. they want to first say he's incompetent because he cannot assist in his defense. that's the standard. once he is competent, if they

win on that, once he is competent, then the defense is going to be, well, he's insane. and it could be because he voluntarily ingested drugs, or it could be -- and i'm talking to heather in the green room -- he's a defective guy. this guy has a long criminal history a long drug list, and he's just -- history, and he's just a defective person. jenna: i have to ask the question of how his wealth plays into this trial. if you looked at the same story with someone from not a privileged background who didn't have the looks -- viewers can make their choice when they see this footage -- [laughter] but people were talking about how he looked, how he held himself and all the money, and i wonder how that comes into play. >> it's a fabulous point. it comes into play in life in general. this family did not want him to be stigmatized as being mentally ill, so they fought it, he fought it. and i think that in part that may have led to the father's death, the fact that he wouldn't accept the fact that his son needed help.

i think his looks will play well for him at trial. this mental insanity argument will probably play well for him at trial given the background that he has. jenna: will it play well for him because of his background and because of the sensationalism over this case, jonna, versus somebody who's from, you know, a middle class neighborhood somewhere in america? >> he's a spoiled little rich kid who offed his father because his daddy took away his allowance, that's how i would play it. the within key piece of -- one key piece of evidence we know so far is that he knew enough to stage the crime scene as if it were a suicide. so he knew the difference between right and wrong. whether he's on drugs, not on drugs, to me, is going to beer relevant. >> new yorks has a pretty liberal standard for insanity, so he's in the right place, but jonna makes the prosecution's argument really well. jenna: okay. we'll see what happens as this case gets under way. thank you both. jon? jon: well, no tipping. it is now becoming the policy at more and more restaurants around the country, so who's really

tipping at this joe's crab shack in illinois. menu prices are up about 12%, and employees are earning higher, steadier wages. >> if it's successful and people see the benefits of it, it will catch on. >> i think we are seeing the reaction in a way that i think is going to mean less money for some employees. >> reporter: the employment policies institute questions whether employees will benefit but believes unions will. >> it's the self-interested decision. i mean, if servers are receiving all of their money in a paycheck instead of in cash at the end of each night, it makes it a lot easier for them to take a regular dues payment out of their paycheck. so i think the entire push for a higher minimum wage by the unions is really just a play at the end of the day to get more people to join the unions. >> reporter: this restaurant owner tried it, but servers quit. customers are once again leaving tips. >> it would have been a painful irony to make decisions to

protect the kitchen and then alienate another group of employees. >> reporter: but another restaurant in seattle has found success. customer count is up and so is revenue. and here in new york famous restaurant owner danny meyer recently announced he was also getting rid of tipping at 13 of his restaurants. it's an experiment many are watching closely, jenna, it'll be very interesting to see how it plays out. jenna: it certainly will, abby, thank you. jon: new next hour of "happening now," after five years of bars behind cuba, alan gross reveals what life was like there. we talk to the former adviser of four u.n. ambassadors about what his case means for other americans still jailed overseas. and are your hard-earned tax dollars getting squandered on questionable science projects like the one involving shrimp on a tiny tread mill? so if you have medicare parts a and b, consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company.
