2:30 am
houses on tv. what does he feel like he was missing out on his own time in the white house? this is way too early! ♪ good morning. i'm sorry thomas roberts. it is wednesday, november 12th. welcome to way too early. the show that is intrigued to hear what bill clinton thinks he missed in office. i don't he missed a lot. we're going find out. there are two major things. breakthroughs that came through in china despite often tense relationships between beijing and washington. the u.s. and china agreed to major deals involving pollution and military cooperation. both countries agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 25% by the year 2025. the countries have also agreed to major communications on major activities and new rules over
2:31 am
military encounters at sea and in the air. the deals are as seen as a -- stumbling blocks remain especially when it comes to cybersecurity and human rights. >> i described to him why it is so important for us to speak out for the freedoms that we believe are universal. rights we believe are the birthright of all men and women whenever they live whether it is in new york, paris, or hong kong. things are still icy between president obama and russian's president putin. photographs of released were the three offhand meetings. and world leaders have been chastised for a lack of pro pry tie. just this morning the poll report indicates he was chuging gum in a meeting with the chairman of the national people's congress. and there were fireworks in the
2:32 am
chinese media over a display when president putin put a shawl on the shoulders of china's first lady. now the video was scrubbed by chinese sensors. you see it there. the chinese population did not see that act of chivalry. they thought it was a bit too much. president obama departed china and moving on now for more of his scheduled trip. a ferguson grand jury is hearing a decision in the deadly shooting of an unarmed black teen. the state of missouri is bracing itself for the possible unrest that will follow. democratic governor jay nixon said multiple law enforcement agencies will be on call to respond including the national guard. violent protests erupted in august after a white police officer shot and killed 18-year-old michael brown. the governor says those types of demonstrations cannot be repeated. these measures are not being taken because we're convinced that violence will occur but because we have a responsibility
2:33 am
to prepare for any contingency. the public demands and i demand that. this is america. people have a right to express their views and grievances. but they do not have the right to put their fellow citizens or their property at risk. as i have said before, violence will not be tolerated. the residents and businesses of this region will be protected. >> meanwhile the pathologist who conducted a privacy autopsy on michael brown is scheduled to testify before the grand jury this week. a new report shows that nationwide 461 felony suspects were shot and killed by police last year. it's the highest number in two decades. police are investigating a bold armed robbery in the diamond district. around 2:30 p.m. on tuesday. a man posing as delivery worker entered a jewelry business on
2:34 am
west 47th street. he allegedly pistol whipped an employee, forced him to open a safe. when a fifth employee entered the office, the two men fled the scene. west 47th street was a busy block. close to the veteran's day parade. it was closed for hours while police investigated this. no arrests were made. the owner who was pistol whipped was taken to the hospital but listed in stable condition. the suspects made off with an estimated $2 million in jewelry watches. senate joe manchin of west virginia has had his -- he's known for that. he and remaining red state democrats are finding themselves as the new swing votes in the senate. with it newfound power. whether democrats would try to block and tackle republican legislation for the next two years, manchin was direct reportedly saying that's bs. i'm not going put up with that. he wasn't the only one.
2:35 am
senator claire mccass call. one house democracy is gearing up for a fight. james clyburn has little doubt that the gop will stop at nothing trying to tarnish president obama's legacy in his remaining two years in office. the democrats need to prepare for the worst which includes impeachment. >> i have been saying for several weeks now long before the election that if they maintain their majority in the house and got a significant majority in the senate will be some reason found to introduce an impeachment resolution. you will not get two-thirds to convict. why are we going through the whole deal? it's to put ans a terrif s aste
2:36 am
the first african-american president. clyburn went on to say he believes republicans will use any executive action that the president takes on immigration as the, quote, peg in which they'll hang an impeachment resolution. yesterday republican congressman joe barton of texas confirmed the fears saying in an interview that impeachment should be, quote, in consideration. this brings us to the twitter question. do you agree with congressman clyburn. will the gop try to impeach president obama. do you think that joe barton is correct thinking that the gop should go after president obama if he does use executive action on immigration. we look forward to hearing from you. two could be presidential contenders are drawing attention to hillary clinton's age.
2:37 am
then we have governor scott walker saying over the weekend that clinton, who was 67, quote, embodies that old tired, top down approach from the government. not everyone is counting the years. a recent pugh survey finds that a percentage thinks that hillary clinton is 50 in or younger. and the upshot on the new york times report show 2016 voters will be just as young and diverse as they were back in 2012. i always say 40 is the new 20. amen. that's right. all right it's an event, a decade, and a billion dollars in the making. a european space probe is right now, as we speak, attempting to land on a comet about 300 million miles away. there's an issue with the
2:38 am
landing system. it's trying to use screws and harpoon system to keep from bouncing off the comet is icy and dusty and surface. the landing itself takes about seven hours. scientists are hoping to get a successful conformation about 11:00 a.m. eastern. they don't know for sure for awhile because it's so far away. it takes the radio transmitter 28 minutes to transmit back to earth. how cool is that? we're going to move to business knew ever news for you. this morning five major banks agreed to pay more than $3 billion in fines for attempting to manipulate exchange rates. citibank, hsbc, jpmorgan chase, rbs, and ubs will pay more than $600 million each. jeff, walk us through the significance of these fines and is this just a, you know, a small drop in the fine bank for these people? >> yeah, it just seems --
2:39 am
doesn't it, that the banks can't get off the naughty step. in excess of $3 billion when you talk up the numbers. the reality is these are legacy issues, really. the investigation started mid 2013 and dozens of traders have either been suspended or lost their job around this story. now the implications, i guess, will be on the direction of bank share prices and how we view the opportunity in the banks going forward. there is still a lot of investors who are weary of putting money into the banks. not knowing whether the litigation risk has come to an end yet. clearly it hasn't. this fx probe may be close to settlement but we know there are still other issues surrounding the banks in other areas of trading. so just keep a weary eye around the financials as we continue to see news float on this
2:40 am
litigation story. i wanted to move you on. we have another interesting story for you as it relates to google. google are going to spend over a billion dollars over 60 years to hire an airfield with a number of hangars. this is a massive facility. it's a naval base. we know google is taking baby steps a the moment in the area of aviation. they're interested in space flight, their interested in robotics, they're interested in drones. google now taking a significant step putting its money where its mouth is and i think we should keep a close eye what google intends to come up with to delight us going forward. it's more than an internet company. >> the other story you're following is about the lawsuit apple could face. it has to deal with vanishing text messages. explain that.
2:41 am
>> this is fascinating. have you ever been in a situation where somebody said you got the message, right? you're thinking you didn't and you missed the appointment. it turns out lots of apple messages have gone missing and ios 5 had a block that meant if you switched to an android system you wouldn't necessarily see messages from apple devices. a federal judge now saying we need to get apple up to talk about this. this is getting serious. apple itself saying we've now changed the way the system works or at least you can gmake sure you messages get through. >> that's shady if they did that. we'll see if we found out the real truth. still ahead on way too early. kobe bryant breaks a record. but not the kind he was hoping for.
2:42 am
what he accomplished after nearly two decades in the pros. >> obama was characterized by chinese internet users as an idler or careless rapper. oh, we all know how much the hip-hop rapsmen love representing the gum. with my mind on my bubbles and my bubbles on my mind. all right. stephen colbert takes on president obama's gum chewing in china. that story and a check on weather when way too early comes back. the fwrord the authorities remains the same. they believe a catastrophic mechanical failure brought down
