good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs headquarters here in new york. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. this morning search-and-rescue crews in southern california are desperately looking for victims of the mudslides that have already killed 17 people. 17 more people are reported missing. santa barbara county officials estimate 100 homes were destroyed as tons of mud, rock, and uprooted tries rolled downhill. a 30-mile stretch of u.s. highway 101 remains closed and is not expected to reopen until monday. tom wait in montecito, california, has our report. >> reporter: the search for victims continues in southern california. >> they're kind of doing what you do when you have an avalanc avalanche. you go around and poke and if you feel something different, you try to figure out what it is.

>> reporter: nearly two days they've been going around. this is still a search-and-rescue operation. first responders say other responders may be trapped in the mud somewhere. >> there are several factors that go into determining how long a victim will be viable. air temperature, soil temperature, weather conditions and the like. >> reporter: 500 rescue workers have been combing through the debris field. they've already canvassed more than 75% of it, but what remains are the hardest hit and least accessible areas. much of it is taking place here in montecito south of los angeles. hundreds of homes have either been damaged or destroyed by the mudslides. >> oh, my god, mom. >> reporter: using his cell phone marco farrell captured the scene with his cell phone at his parents' home in montecito. >> it was banging against the house. the most vicious violent sounds you've ever heard. >> reporter: several areas are buried under debris. they won't reopen until next week.

tom wait, cbs news, month see toe, california. well, there have already been several dramatic rescues of mudslide victims. a man told jeff glor he narrowly escaped when his home was destroyed by a wall of mud and debris, and then he heard a little cry and followed the noise. >> i went in the pile and down in that muck in the middle of nowhere was a little baby, this little child in the mud up to its -- you know, tangled in the roots and the metal and the rock. if we weren't standing within two feet of that thing, we would have never heard it. so many things had to get to the point where we were standing two feet away. we got in, grabbed it, and pulled it out of the mud. >> the girl's okay. >> the girl's okay. it was unbelievable. if you'd seen the -- there's no way we should have found that child. in probably 15 more minutes it wouldn't have been alive.

it was cold and it had been there for a while. >> it's unclear where the child came from or what happened to her family. in washington president trump said it seems unlikely he would be interviewed by special counsel robert mueller but that in his words he'll see what happens. back in june the president said that he would cooperate. major garrett has more. >> there's been no collusion. there's been no crime. >> there's no collusion whatsoever. >> and there is no collusion. >> that has been president trump's mantra as special counsel robert mueller continues to investigate connections between mr. trump's campaign and russian operatives, but the president's lawyers are now negotiating with mueller over when and how an interview with mr. trumt p will occur, but the president said that may not be necessary.

>> it seems unlikely that you'd even have an interview. >> he did point to a precedent for a potential interview, comparing his situation to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. >> hillary clinton had an interview where she wasn't sworn in, she wasn't given the oath, they didn't take notes, they didn't record, and it was done on the 4th of july weekend. >> clinton's interview occurred july 2nd, 2016, and lasted 3 1/2 hours. investigators did take notes despite mr. trump's claim. on twitter the president for the first time called on republicans to, quote, finally take control of the russia investigation that he said was making the country a laughingstock. >> they've had this phony cloud over this administration, over our government, and it has hurt our government. it does hurt our government. it's a democrat hoax. >> the president's lawyer believes an interview with mueller would signal an eminent conclusion of his investigation. we learned wednesday in early

november mueller added a justice department expert in cyber crimes to his team of investigators. major garrett, cbs news, the white house. on capitol hill talks continue to come up with a bipartisan deal on immigration reform. house republicans introduced their version of a deal that addresses hundreds of thousands of young people brought into the country illegally as children, so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers. the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca ends on march 5th. president trump said any deal on daca must include a border security wall. >> i really believe they're going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, which has been going on for a long time. and maybe beyond that, immigration as a whole. but any solution has to include the wall because without the wall, it all doesn't work. >> a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from ending daca.

democrats say a deal must be attached to a budget directive that lawmakers must pass by january 19th to prevent a government shutdown. amid the immigration negotiations essentially agents targeted 7-eleven stores. they raided about 111 stores in 17 states. yesterday's raids targeted stores and managers where they were asked for hiring records. 7-eleven said in a statement that store owners are responsible for hiring and verifying work el imageth. the latest republican lawmaker to say he is retiring is congressman darrell issa of california. issa who said he will not seek re-election is a staunch supporter of president trump. democrats hope to regain control of the house and defeating issa was a top priority. the faa is investigating why an aeromexico jet landed on the

tried to take away her first amendment rights and that it's important to speak out. >> this directly involved me, my students, my fellow educators and support staff, workers and outside of the school system even. >> the district superintendent said he never ordered her removal or her arrest and that he's been getting hate e-mails and phone calls. coming up on the "morning news," vacation warning. why the state department issues an alert for mexico. and a hunter's best friend. the new breed that can officially hit the dog circuit. this is the "cbs morning news." this is the "cbs morning news." e feel fuller longer. benefiber® healthy shape. this i can do! a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk
