7:09 am
-- the inspector general for the intelligence community who is testifying on capitol hill today concluded that a complaint filed back in august was credible enough to be considered, quote, an urgent concern. the "washington post" is reporting that an interaction between president trump and a foreign leader is at the center of a whistleblower report which included a promise that was so troubling it prompted a u.s. intelligence official to come forward. house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff has issued a subpoena to obtain the complaint. but the acting director of national intelligence, joseph maguire, is refusing to hand over that report for now. maguire says he determined the allegations did not merit urgent concern, and since they relate to a person outside of the intel community, he does not need to pass them along to capitol hill. schiff pointed out this is the first time a director of intelligence overruled the decision of the inspector general and raised concerns that this refusal may indicate a cover-up to protect president trump. on sunday, schiff said on "face the nation" that it is fair to

7:12 am
sent money to someone in iraq, has a brother there who may have ties to the islamic state, and recently traveled to his native country. >> clearly there are more questions that are raised by these details than answers. and i think the right steps were made today. >> reporter: alani's public defender argued for bail saying his client never intentionally put anybody in any drarj danger because the plane had back up systems. he is facing up to 20 years behind bars for sabotage. it's important to note is not facing any terror-related charges. american airlines is cooperating with the investigation. tony? >> thank you. to a scary moment in the sky. delta is looking into the cause of a midair descent that dropped passengers thousands of feet. flight 2353 took off from atlanta yesterday for ft. lauderdale, florida. the website flight aware shows the plane descended from 39,000 feet to 10,000 feet in less than
7:13 am
eight minutes. it made an emergency landing in tampa. oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling. passengers commended the crew for its calm response. delta has apologized but said the descent was, quote, controlled. everyone on board fortunately is safe. this morning, iran's foreign minister says any attack on his country would lead to, quote, all-out war. president trump says he is in no hurry to do what he calls dastardly things in response to a missile and drone strike blamed on iran that damaged oil facilities. ian lee is in riyadh. what led to the iranian response? >> reporter: as mentioned, iran said any military strike against their country will see swift retaliation, and that warning coming as secretary of state mike pompeo was talking tough, too. in a diplomatic show of support, secretary pompeo met with saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman and said that saturday's attack was an act of war. in a tweet, pompeo called the attacks unprecedented and said
7:14 am
that iran's behavior will not be tolerated. >> you can see the type of the -- >> reporter: yesterday the kingdom made their strongest case yet that iran was behind the recent attack. the saudi military displayed some of the 18 drones and seven cruise missiles they claimed were used. >> saudi hasn't responded militarily to iran. when is the breaking point? >> we are working to know exactly the launch point and when we have it, we will have the evidence, and the decision is -- >> reporter: the weapons entered from the north of the country but stopped short of saying the launch point was in iran. iran denies being behind the attack that damaged half of saudi's oil production. officials say unreleased satellite photos show the most damning evidence yet. the revolutionary guard preparing for attack in southwestern iran. from there, the weapons flew through kuwaiti airspace, roughly 400 miles, to their targets in saudi arabia. a team of u.n. investigators is coming to saudi arabia to independently go over the evidence.
7:15 am
meanwhile, president trump is set to meet his new national security adviser tomorrow to discuss ways to respond to iran short of going to war. tony? >> ian lee for us on the ground again in saudi arabia. thank you so much. we have important news for millions of americans who take heartburn medicine. a version of a popular drug is on hold this morning after a possible cancer-causing chemical was found in heartburn medications like zantac. the maker of a generic version, novartis, stopped the distribution of its prescription version as a precaution. the move comes after the fda announced on friday that the medicines containing ndma could be a probable carcinogen. >> the maker of zantac that is not suspending distribution said in a statement, "the fda reported that the levels of ndma in rantidine rarely exceeded amounts found in common foods. we're working closely with the fda."
7:16 am
a lot of names of the medicines. let's start with the ndmm. what is it exactly? >> it's a byproducts of processes. manufacturing of dyes or tires or rubber can lead to this as well as chlorination of water. you can get if from smoked meats, fish, tobacco smoke, or malt beverages. it is out there. it shouldn't number our medications, however. this was the same type of contaminant or byproduct that was found in some of the blood pressure medicines that were recalled last year. things like valsartan. it is considered a probable carcinogen in humans. it has been shown to cause cancer in animals. >> how dangerous would put it? >> i don't think we necessarily know. certainly the fda is saying the levels are very low. the company that alerted to this result are doing their own testing, saying the levels they
7:17 am
found were thousands of times higher than the allowable amount. >> if you're taking zantac, should you stop? >> the fda is not saying to stop. they're saying you can talk to your health care provider about what other drugs there are. that could be in the same class or something different. if you're taking over-the-counter zantac, there are other options. >> they're not recalling it, but they want us to know about it? >> they do. they do. >> they want to scare us. >> i'm confused. >> they have to do investigating and see what exactly are the levels, what companies or brands are involved and how dangerous is it. it took them a while even last year to pull back some of the blood pressure medicines. >> if you had been taking this for years and had stopped, how worried should you be about past use? >> that's a great question. certainly last year when they lifted the blood pressure
7:18 am
medicines, they said the amount detected, about 17 micrograms, there were 8,000 people that took the highest dose of valsartan for four years there one additional case of cancer. obviously a low number. but who knows what the amounts are in this. so certainly something to keep in mind if you do take this every single day. >> all right. thank you, tara. a woman suing lyft says a routine ride home turned into a terrifying ordeal. ahead, how she says the driver was allowed to continue working good thursday morning to you. drier and quieter and brighter weather for you today. look at plenty of sunshine as we go through the afternoon. it is a chilly start. grab the jacket first thing as you go out the door. anyone in concorde, 76 in san jose and 80 for livermore and 73 in oakland and 68 for san francisco. the daytime high seasonal not just a little bit below average for this time of year. warming up friday and especially by saturday.
