[chanting]. that's the good news. c.j.'s classmates warmed him after he split the board. that's it for us. here's shep. >> shepard: it's 2:00 p.m. in louisiana where we're waiting to hear from president trump. we'll go live and see if he comments again and if they move the markets. two planes carrying cruise ship passengers collide in midair. now the feds are on the way to see what happened. also a new warning about what's app. wing explain what you need to know to keep yourself safe. trash has invaded the deepest place on our planet. we'll talk with the differ that made the discovery after traveling where no human has ever before. reporting begins now.
12:01 pm
our reporting begins with president trump set to speak any moment at a natural gas facility in hackbury, louisiana. it's about 25 miles southwest of lake charles. the president said the on going trade war with china a little sw squabble. >> we're the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of over take from. we can't let that happen. >> shepard: the trump administration is threatening to go further, the trade war with beijing and escalating. the u.s. raid representatives pun establishing a list of $300 billion of chinese products that washington could hit with tariffs. officials in beijing say they will fight to the finish. that's a quote. on wall street, the dow bouncing back in a good way after closing down more than 600 points yesterday. right now off just under 300
12:02 pm
points. it's been higher during the session. team fox coverage to start us off. gerri willis with the markets. first john roberts at the white house. >> the markets at first blush do see to be a little more optimistic about what the president said today and yesterday regarding tried with china and whether or not there will be a prolonged war or a deal. the president pointed out maybe down playing the situation a little bit, calling it a little squabble. still confident that the united states and china will be able to reach a new trade deal that will be beneficial to the united states. listen here. >> we have a very good dialogue. we have a dialogue going. we had a deal that was very close and they broke it. they really did. >> what the president is talking ant there, two weeks ago looked like the u.s. and china were close to a deal. when robert lighthizer and steve mnuchin went to beijing to meet
12:03 pm
with the deputy premier, they were told that china changed their mind on a number of core issues, including binding legal language and intellectual theft. and the chinese media called president trump money hungry. >> china does not want to find a trade war but does not want fight it. we don't succumb to external pressure. >> the president said he might turn the heat up more on the squabble saying he's eyeing some $325 billion in additional chinese goods for tariffs of 25%. listen here. >> our economy is fantastic. theirs is not so good. we've gone up trillions and trillions since the election. they have gone way down since my election.
12:04 pm
so that's the way it is, that's the way it stands. we're going to do well. >> the president gets very little argument over the idea that china is stealing our intellectual property and engaging in unfair trade practices. the debate seems to be over how much pain is united states is willing to go through. what we're seeing in the markets yesterday, in order to change the playing field. should mention, shep, as the motorcade made their way from the airport in louisiana to the liquid natural gas facility where the president will be touring, there was an accident between two local motorcycle officers. they were pretty banged up. they do appear to be okay. it happens on occasion when these motorcycles are roaring through traffic. >> shepard: john, the president also talked about the attorney general, bill barr, looking into how the russia invest combination began. >> fox news learned last night it was weeks ago that bill barr tasked the u.s. attorney for the district of connecticut, john durham, with the task of looking
12:05 pm
into the origins of the russia investigation and whether or not there was any collusion between the trump campaign and russia. it was all worked out in the mueller report. the president on his way out the door saying it was a surprise to him to learn about it. listen here. >> no, i didn't ask him to do that. i didn't know it. i didn't know it. but i think it's a great thing he did it. i saw it last night. they want to look at how that whole hoax got started. it was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the people of this country. you know what? i'm so proud of our attorney general, that he's looking to it. i think it's great. i didn't know about it, no. >> so what do we know about john durham? he's a career prosecutor. a reputation as being a bulldog. he was nominated by president trump to be the u.s. attorney for the district of connecticut 1999. one of his more famous cases. he was appointed by janet reno
12:06 pm
to investigate ties to the mob and the boston police department and more on the cia interrogation videotapes. he's been asked by both sides of the political aisle to undertake investigative projects. he seems like the guy that if you've done anything wrong, you don't want him coming looking for you. >> shepard: thanks, john roberts. stocks bouncing back today after their biggest one-day loss since january. on the big board, all positives today. i lost my dow 30 again. it happens every day. it's incredible. at any rate, this dow 30 is up. they got back about half of yesterday. 29 of 30 dow industrials are in the green today. what about the rest? >> it's a melt up. you've heard of a meltdown.
12:07 pm
this is a melt-up. all of these stocks doing better today. what is happening? the very stocks sold off yesterday, apple, boeing, caterpillar, those that have 15% of sales revenue are out of china and people are bottom fishing. let's talk about how trieders feel about this. one told me today, they felt burned because steve mnuchin and kudlow had been saying a couple weeks, we're close to a deal. we'll have one very soon. that didn't happen. so you have seen this turmoil in the markets as traders and investors try to decide how to take advantage of what is going on. now, we talk about what's going on in the stock market here where we've seen a lot of volatility. what about consumers. what does this mean for them? you can expect a family of four if these tariffs hold,
12:08 pm
especially the china tariffs, they'll be paying about $2,000 more over the course of the year. a family of four and higher prices for cell phones, clothes, laptops, mattresses. has big ramifications for our economy and consumers. >> shepard: thanks, gerri willis. cruise ship passengers were taking a sightseeing trip aboard a couple of sight-seeing planes when they collided in the skies over alaska. now tourists are reported dead and others hurt. questions about how this happened. that and the rest of the news as reporting continuing on this tuesday afternoon. severe psoria little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.

>> shepard: a team of federal investigators is now headed to alaska after two sightseeing planes collided and killed four. two others are still missing. the coast guard is searching for them right now. this happened in the city of ketchikan, which is a popular
12:13 pm
tourist spot in southern alaska. the people on the planes were passengers from a cruise ship. dan springer reporting live from the pacific northwest newsroom. dan? >> shep, no word on a cause. i can say the weather was good and should not have been a factor. the winds were light and visibility was ten miles. the coast guard just released a picture of one of the two planes involved in the midair collision. this was the float plane carrying five peoples. i landed on shored and flipped over. three of the confirmed dead were on this plane as well as the two missing. the princess cruise ship docked in ketchikan from a cruise that started in seattle. these passengers were on a day excursion. the midair crash happened over the george unlet about eight nautical miles from where the flight started. one of the planes was headed
12:14 pm
back to the cruise ship. the second plane crash landed in the george inlet. ten of the people on board survived. they were rescued by various boats in the area. all are in good or satisfactory condition. shep? >> shepard: what more do you know about the two planes, dan? >> well, they're both float planes and workhorses in alaska. the one that crashed on land was a dhc 2 beaver, the smaller of the two planes. the other planes was a dhc 3 otter. this model crashed into a mountain in 2015. all nine on board were killed. that turned out to be pilot error. the princess cruise ship left three hours late and will make its stop in anchorage saturday. the coast guard has a large cutter and a dive team and
12:15 pm

12:20 pm
meeting between the united states and russia since presidents trump and putin met in helsinki. since then, the relationship has remained contentious. vladimir putin says there's a real opportunity to improve the relationship because he says of the release of special counsel robert mueller's report. he says the report was a very objective investigation and confirms there was no collusion between the russian government and the trump campaign. the mueller report found systematic russian interference in the 2016 election and hours before his meeting with the russian president, secretary of state mike pompeo warned the russian government about repeating in 2020 what they did in 2016. >> interference in american democracy is unacceptable. if they would engage in that in 2020, it would put our relationship even worse and i encouraged them not to do that, we wouldn't tolerate that.
12:21 pm
>> sergey lavrov denied the interference in 2016 despite the assessment of the cia. >> shepard: and venezuela came up, too? >> the russian government is actively supporting the maduro regime. the argument from the secretary of state is that the u.s. recognized juan guaido is the best opportunity in venezuela for democracy. and that countries that are actively supporting maduro like russia and cuba should get out. the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov said venezuela like other countries can't have democracy forced upon them. brought up the case of the 2003 u.s. invasion of iraq, something that he's done several times before. the two discussed a number of other issues, points of contention, articles cross, iran, ukraine. secretary pompeo notes the two countries have done good work together on a few issues and
12:22 pm
noted afghanistan, north korea and counter terrorism. shep? >> shepard: rich edson live. thanks. leaders from iran and the united states seem to be trying to dial down tension and talk of any potential war. secretary state pompeo says washington is not looking for trouble with the iranians. and i ran's supreme leader says there will be no war. this is after sabotage of four oi oman. jennifer griffin reporting live from the pentagon. jennifer? >> shep, on men, gulf state officials claimed four oil tankers anchored off the united arab emirates were damaged. it's not clear what caused the damage. new satellite images obtained by
12:23 pm
the associated press showed no major visible damage to the oil tankers from above. saudi officials have declined who they think is responsible. the u.s. military and white house have not provided any proof showing iranian involvement. an unnamed official says there's initial assessment that iran was involved. amidst rising concerned about general frank mackenzie, the new head of central command, ordered the u.s. s. abraham lincoln. i might not enter the persian gulf because doing so would box in the aircraft carrier. >> shepard: allies question this rising tension with i ran. >> major general chris geka said point black from baghdad, he had said no increase threat from iranian backed forces in iran or syria. >> there's no increased threat
12:24 pm
from iranian backed forces in iraq and syria. there are a substantial number of malitia groups in iraq and syria and we don't see an increased threat from many of them at this stage. >> a statement that stands in stark contrast to statements from unnamed defense officials. not all u.s. allies are on board with this military build-up, a spanish frigate reversed course and headed back to spain over a disagreement of the white house's iran policy. the u.s. government has taken a decision outside of the frame work of the spanish navy. the u.s. may have trouble getting allies as the u.s. squeezes iran after ripping up the nuclear deal. >> shepard: jennifer griffin, thank you. tiger woods and his girlfriend are facing a lawsuit now after a drunk driver's death. ahead, what the pro golfer is

12:30 pm
man after serving time for sexting a teenage girl. the former congressman wants to get his life on track, he says. >> i'm glad to be getting back to my family. i'm glad this chapter of my life is behind me. >> shepard: wiener spoke to reporters after he left the halfway house in the bronx. he's been there since february. he also has to register as a sex offender. he will spend three years on supervised release. he says he had a sex addiction and has been a sick man for a very long time. sexting scandals cost him a seat in congress and a possible shot at becoming mayor of new york city. we're hearing from tiger woods after the family of one of his employees sued the pro golfer and his golf over that worker's death. >> we're all very sad that nick passed away. it was a terrible night, a
12:31 pm
terrible ending. we feel bad for him and his entire family. it's very sad. >> shepard: according to the lawsuit, nicholas emmisburger had a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit when he died in south florida. he was leaving work at a restaurant in december that woods owned and his girlfriend, erika herman, manages. the suit claims that woods knew that emmisburger was a alcoholic and let him drink to the point of severe intoxication. tiger woods and his girlfriend were not there at all the day of the crash. but the lawsuit accuses the restaurant of overserving emmisburger was a alcoholic. and letting him drive home drunk. no comments yet from lawyers for woods and his girlfriend. bob bianchi is here, a former
12:32 pm
prosecutor. are they libel in this case when they weren't there? >> doesn't make a difference. what is confounding about this case, 2019, florida has a civil liability law. every state has one. most states require that you have to be visibly intoxicated or known to be visibly intoxicated, the bar has a responsibility. florida is in the stone ages. if you're visibly intoxicated and you allow somebody to get in a car in florida, you can't be held liable as the establishment that is unbelievable to me. you have to prove that the bar knew that the person was a habitually addictive person. which means the plaintiffs have to prove in this case that the power of alcohol that they knew he could not resist getting drink any time the temptation is offered and that he -- alcohol is an excessive dominant
12:33 pm
passion. it's not just that he liked to drink a lot. the law says that if alcohol is in front of you, you can never turn it away. that makes it very difficult to win a case against a bar, which is unfair as a prosecutor, as an emt that peeled a lot of people out of cars on dui cases and a prosecutor. lots of people that saw the carnage of families, innocent people killed on the roads as well as the defendants that go to jail for a lengthy period of time that florida does not impose that robust action requiring the bar to make sure that when they're serving people alcohol, that they're doing it responsibly and they take care of them. the idea, shep, that you can get somebody drunk in florida and they can get in a car is in the stone ages as far as i'm concerned. >> shepard: the lawsuit claims that tiger woods who owns the establishment, his girlfriend that manages the establishment, neither of them were there at the time are responsible in some way for his death.
12:34 pm
do they have a case? >> on that point, if you know the person is a habitually addictive person or a drunkard under the case law, yes. it means you're in charge, you're in control of the actions of the people that you employ. but unfortunately this lawsuit in my opinion will fall apart. it wouldn't in jersey or new york. somebody with a .256 blood alcohol level is known to have been given excessive amounts of alcohol, would be visibly intoxicated. but in a state where they require that they knew tiger woods and the girlfriend, that he was a habitually addicted drunkard is almost impossible to prove. >> shepard: he worked there. is it possible that multiple people could have served him? >> yes. >> shepard: is it possible that one didn't know what the other was doing? are there possibilities that in this case the man that owns the
12:35 pm
place and wasn't there and the woman that managed the place and wasn't there might not be held responsible? >> they're going to be held responsible for the actions or inactions of their employees. the problem is, the bartenders can serve that poor kid alcohol, he could stumble out, hit walls, knock things down, get into a car around kill somebody but if they can't prove that the bartenders or the people that were in that bar knew that he was a habitually addictive person, which is a very difficult standard, the law in florida is we're not going to had bars and restaurants responsible. we have to stop this epidemic of drinking and driving and this law is deceptivizing bars from making sure that they have people properly trained and if a person is drunk, they have an affirmative responsibility to make sure that they don't kill another person. >> shepard: so you think the lawsuit falls apart but the law sucks? >> yes, the law sucks.
12:36 pm
>> shepard: north korea is accusing the united states of robbery after the feds seized one of the regimes cargo ships. north korea is urging the united states to return its vessel without hesitation and the consider the consequences. the justice department announced the seizure accusing pyongyang of using the ship to smuggle coal out of north korea. the united states banned north korea from exporting coal a couple years ago. this comes with heightened tensions after this month's miss sell test by north korea. an american diver has gone deeper in the ocean than anyone else ever. we'll talk to him about his record-breaking journey. tens of thousands of feet to the bottom of the sea and what he found there. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident.

>> shepard: an explorer from texas has smashed the record for the deepest dive in the ocean in a submarine. victor says when he got to the bottom of the deep blue sea, he discovered new species that man knew nothing about and some
12:41 pm
trash. it's in the mariana's trench. here's the piece of garbage on the ocean floor. in the red seven miles down. scientists are working to figure out what it is. it's manmade awidespread the pom has become. the mariana's trench is in the pacific ocean. the closest land masses are guam and the mariana's island. it's the deepest place on the planet. the challenger deep is the deepest part of that trench. it goes down 36,000 feet. think of that. it's deeper than mount everest is tall. if you put mount everest at the bottom of that trench, the partly cloudy will still be about 7,000 feet below the sea
12:42 pm
level. >> at bottom, repeat. at bottom. thank you. congratulations to you all. you all made this happen. well-done. beginni beginning exploration at the bottom. >> victor has been to the deepest play on worth and the highest. his climbed mound everest. it's part of discovery's deep planet series. victor is here with us. you're just showing off now, aren't you? >> not really. proud of the team that put it together. >> shepard: i can imagine. you get to the deepest place on earth where no person has ever been. what surprised you? >> there were two previous expeditions. not quite to where we were. but it was an incredibly peaceful place. it was disappointed to see evidence of human activity. >> shepard: trash. >> yes. >> shepard: it's everywhere.
12:43 pm
>> it is, unfortunately. >> shepard: what can be done about that? >> it's difficult. over seven billion people on this planet and we need things. the ocean is 65% of this planet. things end up in there. it's a challenge of how to regulate it and control it. >> shepard: tell us about the new species. >> these are places not just hear, but places never been visited by man. isolated for hundreds of millions of years. some things are related to what we've seen before but some are new. it's one of the great parts to see it all. >> shepard: still studying it? >> yes. people are surprised that when they come up, they don't hold their form. we have to rapidly throw them in freezers with formaldehyde to keep their shape. they've survived in these horrific conditions. life finds a way. >> shepard: how could you be at
12:44 pm
that depth and survive that pressure? tell us about this machine. >> it's titanium. it's designed to repeatedly go down to the bottom of the ocean. any point that we can go to regularly and reliably. we spent four years developing this system. >> shepard: what is yet to be learned about the bottom of the ocean? >> so much of it is still unmapped. every major dive, we discover new species or new features. 80 to 90% of the ocean is unexplored. you do the math, 2/3s of our planet is un exploexplorunexplo. now we contracted a tool to get to any part of the ocean. >> shepard: what scientifically is to be learned by undertaking a venture like this? >> we don't know what we don't know.
12:45 pm
we believe looking at these new pie logical pathways at the deepest parts of the ocean, we can find things out about chemistry or how our own bodies work. we cape from the ocean originally. material, science, medicine. we need to see what is there to explore more. >> shepard: we can learn as much from the deep blue sea as we can in space. >> i think more. >> shepard: really? >> i do. >> shepard: what sorts of medical possibilities are there? what sorts of discoveries are within the realm of possibility or is that a guessing game? >> we saw bacterial colonies on rocks that never see light. they live off of methane and other substances in the minerals of the rocks. a different type of life than on land. so understanding that in greater detail, which we don't at this point, could help us understand other ways to affect our own
12:46 pm
bodies or anything else that we're dealing with on land. >> shepard: the bottom of the ocean, top of everest. what drives you to these extremes? >> i don't know. i'm always that kid that got lost in the forest and happy to do so. finding new things. as an adult, you get more resources and build a submarine. >> how are the two feelings different? >> the top is more punishing. not a lot of oxygen and it's whipping and cold. that was a physical experience. in the bottom is much more mental and psychological when there's 1,100 atmospheres outside 90 millions of titanium. >> shepard: how long did it stake to get there? >> i spent four hours down and four hours up. it was a 12-hour mission. >> shepard: thanks for the video. look forward to the series. >> thank you. appreciate your time. >> shepard: the last time earth's carbon dioxide levels
12:47 pm
were this high, humans didn't exist. when we burn fossil fuels, we pollute the environment and carbon dioxide builds in the atmosphere. it makes the planet warmer and causes climates to change around the world. nasa records carbon dioxide levels are higher right now than in the last three million years. trace gallagher reporting live. trace? >> in hawaii, there's an obse e observatory run by noaa. researchers there have a chance to sample the air that has been well-mixed as it crosses the pacific ocean. they have been reporting carbon dioxide lefts since 1958. in 1960, it was just above 310
12:48 pm
parts per million. now it's 415 parts per middle. for example, it's the high nest human history. if the current trajectory continues, the theory is that co2 levels could hit 500 parts per million by 2050 which could increase global temperatures. there's robust debate over exactly how much. nasa climatologists say here that none of these numbers are thresholds. in the sense that anything particular happens when we cross them. as we go through, we're putting our foot on the accelerator of climate change and damage will rise. we should note that co2 levels always spike in the spring,
12:49 pm
though not this much. there's always concern that the gas from the kilauea volcano, which is 20 miles away could every year it goes up, we should say no, it's not normal. this increase is just not sustainable in terms of energy use and in terms of what we're doing to the planet. even if we start getting a handle on co2 with renewable energy, a lot of scientists say the effects will still linger for years. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher live in los angeles. >> hackers have broken into the messaging app what's app to get private messages. how many of them, and what you should do right now to protect yourself. here you go little guy.
