an we want to get right to the latest on that deadly plane crash in ethiopia that killed 157 people, including 8 americans. just moments ago, australia and singapore joined the growing list of countries grounding that boeing jet. >> more than 20 airlines around the world grounding those planes and take a look at the flight radar. those are the boeing 737 max 8s in the air right now. >> that plane model, the max 8, has been involved in two deadly crashes in just the last couple of months. and now, some leaders here in the u.s. are also calling for airlines to ground the plane while the investigation is under way. >> american investigators are on the scene now in ethiopia. so is our chief national correspondent matt gutman. he starts us off. good morning, matt. >> reporter: authorities are in possession of those flight ehin, ittheir jofula. you can see how small some of them are. check them out here. just all over this field, shredded. they're putting them into piles for an investigation that is going to last many weeks here.

this morning, crews cutting into the soil with excavators in the grim task of unearthing the remains of that doomed ethiopian airlines jet. first responders delicately picking through what's left of the personal belongings of the 157 people who died on board. american investigators now among those on the ground trying to determine what brought flight 302 down just six minutes after takeoff. witnesses describe seeing smoke coming from the rear of the plane before it crashed. it hit the earth with such force most of what's left is in this crater. investigators hope the black boxes will reveal what happened inside the cockpit both before and after the plane disappeared from radar. that plane never topping 1200 feet off the ground. >> absolutely critical that the black boxes that were recovered get read immediately so we can figure out whether this was a problem with the airplane that affects the fleet worldwide. >> reporter: this is now the second crash for a boeing max 8

in less than six months. last october, a lion air jet ge the java sea after the pilots failed to disengage the autopilot killing everyone on board. as investigators race to find answers, families around the world are in mourning. the victims from 35 different countries, 22 staffers from the u.n., and there were eight americans. among them, antoine lewis of madison, illinois. his family says he was a proud father and a captain in the army. >> he went doing the things he loved, that he had a passion for, and his passion was just to make a better world. >> reporter: and from redding, california, melvin and bennett riffel, two brothers on we, she's in ma pile right here. and a lot of the work in this field is technical. but these workers are also dealing with the remains of humans on this flight and that

is obviously something that is much more difficult for them to deal with. guys? >> yeah, that is just heartbreaking. >> such a tough scene. here at home the fallout is growing. boeing's stock taking a big hit slipping more than 22 points making for a $12.7 billion loss. and it is not just investors who are nervous this morning. we saw that growing list of international airlines grounding the boeing 737 max 8. our senior transportation correspondent david kerley joins us now. and david, we're hearing loud calls now from american carriers to do the same. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. at this hour, a third of the 370 max 8s delivered around the world are grounded. airlines and countries taking that action because there's so many questions. but not in the u.s. the faa says it's not taking action at this point. this morning, the british, the latest to ground 737 maxs and not allow them into their air

space. a couple of weeks, thereere 8500 flights a week by 737 maxs. while here, the faa is not ordering a grounding. there are similarities between the crashes. trouble after takeoff. pitch control, the nose going up and down. boeing says it's working on a software change for that problem that came up in the first crash. the faa says it will mandate that software change. what we don't know is whether that's related to the second crash in ethiopia. >> david, passengers this morning here in this country are going to be boarding those planes and airlines are already hearing some people who are concerned about getting on one of these boeing 737 max 8s. can they switch flights without being pen issed in. >> it depends on the airline.

the airlines tell us they're trying to accommodate passengers who might be worried, in fact, for refundable tickets you can usually get a move to another flight and get off that aircraft. southwest haven't seen a dramatic increase in can collations because of it. the union for american airline flight attendants reminded their members if they have a problem with the max 8, they don't have to fly it. this all coming down to the black boxes and the ethiopians and whether they ask for help to read them out. is there an inherent problem with the best-selling jet ever? cecilia. >> david kerley on this story from the beginning, thank you. >> boeing continues to stand by the max 8. we want to move now to st a oury expecteto bng

. ro wh th late track.inoyou. rob, can you tell us the of this storm? >> it's a slow mover. down in the deep southwest, a cold core system, these are the mountains east of los angeles and pasadena. just over the mountains of mt. baldy. four to eight inches overnight with more snow coming today and this will bring some severe weather but it is again a slow mover, strong wind, large hail, a few tornadoes. this comes later on tonight. mostly west texas, and mostly straight-line winds, which can be dangerous. we want to take back to saturday, look at this video out of clarksville, arkansas, boom, that is a light pole that comes down at this high school soccer game. that stadium, that player getting hurt and that referee suffering a broken leg. but it is a small miracle that nobody was killed in this event. just to give you an idea of how dangerous straight-line winds can be at just 60 miles an hour. and we could have winds gusting over 70 miles an hour with this system over the next 36 hours. wind alerts up from oklahoma

city, up through wichita, back through albuquerque, las vegas, as well and you mentioned blizzard warnings going on for the next day or two you just to the east of denver. we have it all with storm and we'll keep you updated. we're going to go to washington now where house speaker nancy pelosi is stoking debate with her strongest statement against moving to impeach president trump. mary bruce covering the story on capitol hill. mary, based on current facts, the speaker may not be for impeachment but she's not holding back on president trump. >> reporter: george, house speaker pelosi says president trump is just not worth it. now, she is not closing the door completely on impeachment. but she says, unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, it's not worth it because it would simply divide the country. the problem here is that not everyone in her own party agrees. potentially setting up a showdown with some of her more progressive members already openly calling for impeachment. this may be a political calculus by speaker pelosi as we head into the 2020 political

election. democrats may feel it is more politically advantageous to be up against a president heavily scrutinized by democrats on the hill rather than one who is at the center of ongoing impeachment proceedings. >> but as you say there are a lot of democrats who want her to be more forthright about it. >> reporter: we've already talked with many democrats who are downplaying the speaker's remarks and say, look, we are at the beginning of this process not at the end. while there is a widespread belief among democrats that any impeachment proceedings would need to have wide bipartisan support, they also want to see what the investigations here discover. they want to see what the special counsel robert mueller finds before they make any decisions on impeachment. >> overnight, another new investigation here in new york. >> reporter: this is a new line of inquiry related to the president's finances that stem directly from what michael cohen testified to here on the hill. he told lawmakers that the president inflated his assets to try to secure a loan to buy the buffalo bills. now, overnight, the new york attorney general subpoenaed

deutsche bank and investors bank for documents related to that failed nfl bid and several major trump properties including hotels in chicago, in florida and right here in d.c. >> that's a civil investigation and could lead to criminal referrals. what else are you keeping your eye on today? >> reporter: well, george, the vice president, the former vice president, joe biden, will be speaking here in washington, d.c. speaking for a key labor group, the firefighters' association. it's a group that has said they could reportedly get behind him and endorse him if he were to jump in the race. joe biden said he's in the final stages of making that decision so we will keep a close eye for any clues. >> they have been some of the strongest allies. could see some clues today. mary bruce, thanks very much. we turn to that breaking news overnight, secretary of state mike pompeo pulling all the remaining u.s. diplomats out of venezuela as the crisis there grows. pompeo calling it a deteriorating situation, a power outage paralyzing much of that country. our tom llamas. >> reporter: cecilia, thefo, wa

electricity all but have disappeared as violence and desperation grows in the country. overnight, with venezuela in chaos, secretary of state pompeo pulling all remaining diplomatic personnel out of the country. citing the deteriorating situation in venezuela, six-day in a nationwide blackout. hospitals crippled and darkened streets filled with protesters. families so desperate for water, they're gathering at a drainage pipe at this nearby river. venezuela's economic growing even worse. president maduro, addressing, accusing the united states without evidence with sabotage. juan guaido currently recognized

this morning, we even heard their battle cries. this fight is not over yet. u.s. jets and coalition artillery lit up the sky until the small hours. the final push against isis is under way. this is as close as anyone gets to the front line in baghouz. we can't have too much light to avoid being targeted ourselves. you can see artillery fire coming from all sides on that tiny town. this is hopefully finally the end of the so-called islamic state in syria. huge balls of fire rising into the sky. the crash of mortars honing in from all sides. 1500 jihadis remain inside, it is thought. coalition forces report dozens of isis fighters dead. despite at least four attempted suicide attacks. u.s.-backed troops are pushing forward into the town but it'sn. booby-trapped buildings, the hallmark of the isis retreat and a network of tunnels stretching for miles. no one knows who or what may be down there.

like i said, during this lull, we can see isis fighters freely walking around. it seems that they're able to to down into the tunnels during the bombardments and then come back up again. i think the tunnels will be a real obstacle for this coalition going forward, and even when this town is cleared, beating their ideology will be far harder to erase. paula. >> all right, james longman reporting from syria. james, thank you. cecilia? okay, paula, let's turn to the chaos on the court. fights erupting at multiple nba games overnight. one of those brawls ending in some players getting ejected. abc's diane macedo has all the details. >> reporter: suffice it to say, tempers were flaring in the nba last night. first, two players got ejected for getting into a fight with each other and then another ended up in an altercation with a fan. >> exchanging blows. >> reporter: it was an ugly wi bwlnb >> grabbed him by the throat. >> reporter: and an altercation with fans in utah.

>> i said sit down and ice your knees, bro. >>orr: it's his comments toward his girlfriend. >> she's five feet tall and 110 pounds, man. i mean, never said a word to him. her first nba game ever. welcome to the nba. >> reporter: well, that fan and a few others were issued warning cards. a remainder to all fans out there verbal abuse actually violates the nba's fan code of conduct. not allowed to do it. >> not a good look for the fans. not a good look for russell westbrook. >> and just not a nice thing to do. >> no, not at all. >> you don't even need a warning card. just don't do it. >> people say it's a part of the game. it shouldn't be. we want to take a look at this. a live look at the first live broadcast from deep below the ocean surface. how beautiful is this? these british scientists on a groundbreaking expedition beneath the indian ocean. one of the world's least explored areas so for seven weeks they're going to dive 200
