appears in court as we learn new information about past allegations of violent behavior. it's 5:30 a.m. on the east coast, 2:30 out west, this is "way too early." good morning. it's tuesday, december 1st, i'm chris jansing in paris. we'll also have breaking developments, just in this morning, of what investigators say caused that air asia flight in indonesia to crash last december. but let's begin this morning right here in paris, where more than 150 leaders from around the world were under one roof yesterday for historic talks targeting climate change. president obama and the rest of the leaders gathered at the climate summit where each were given just three minutes to speak yesterday. but more than 8.5 minutes into president obama's remarks, and

with no signs of slowing down, loud beeps started sounding out across the auditorium, as if to cue him to wrap it up. the president ignored them. and plowed ahead with his urgent message on climate change. >> here in paris, let's reaffirm our commitment [ beep ] that resources will be there for countries willing to do their part [ beep ] to skip the dirty phase of development. here in paris let's also make sure that these resources flow to the countries that need help. preparing for the impact of climate change that we can no longer avoid. there are hundreds of billions of dollars ready to deploy to countries around the world, if they get the signal that we mean business this time. let's send that signal. [ beep ] that's what we seek in these next two weeks. >> these talks in paris represent the first effort for a binding global agreement on climate change in nearly two decades. and a new poll from "new york times" and cbs news shows a

solid majority of americans now support such a deal. 63% of those polled said they're in favor of america entering an agreement to limit carbon emissions. meanwhile, as many have pointed out this week, the summit itself has the feel of defiance in the wake of the paris terror attacks. as was the scene last night, president obama and hollande choosing to eat out at a public restaurant instead of the elysee palace. just one of many striking images to come out of paris yesterday. here's bill gates alongside president obama, announcing a multibillion dollar clean energy project. and then president obama and putin huddling on the sidelines. a white house official said obama expressed his regret over turkey's recent downing of a russian warplane. but also made clear that president bashar assad would have to leave power in syria. and speaking this morning with turkish president erdogan, president obama said he supports turkey's right to defend itself. now here's israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian president mahmoud abbas doing something highly unusual, shaking hands.

now, as for the climate, specific discussions, most of the world leaders will leave today, but thousands of delegates stay here for two more weeks. they will try to hammer out that agreement. british prime minister david cameron says there is growing support among members of uk's parliament to take action against isis. cameron called for lawmakers to vote tomorrow over whether britain should launch airstrikes in syria. a senior defense official tells "usa today" that the pentagon may consider sending more u.s. special operations troops to syria. last month it was announced that 50 commandos would be sent to syria to advise forces battling isis. the pentagon's anti-isis strategy will be the focus of a house armed services committee hearing today. defense secretary ashton carter expected to testify. meanwhile, according to "the new york times." the biggest source of cash for isis over the last year appears to be from the people it rules, and the businesses it controls. that includes traffic tolls and tickets, utility bills, income taxes, and more. a quick update from here in

paris on where the manhunt stands in the wake of the terror attack. the prime minister announcing more than 2,000 searches have been conducted since the state of emergency was put in place. authorities have seized 300 weapons, taking more than 200 people in to custody. we've also heard that salah abdeslam bought fireworks igniters from a fireworks shop back in september. just in this morning a new report from indonesia's government that concludes problems with the plane's rudder system, and the flight's crew, subsequent response led to the crash of air asia flight 8501 last december. the crash killed all 162 passengers and crew on board, en route to singapore. the report found the main flight control computer had a cracked joint that malfunctioned four times during the flight. the plane rolled sharply, 104 degrees, climbed too high before plummeting as fast as 20,000 feet per minute. warning messages prompted the pilots to pull a circuit breaker in an effort to reset the computer, against the advice of

the plane's operating manual. investigators said the flight crew's actions while flying manually led to the crash into the java sea. investigators also said that maintenance data analysis showed the problem with the cracked joint occurred 23 times during the previous year. however, the report described the plane as, quote, airworthy" and said the crew should have been able to recover if they had correctly followed their training. new jersey's governor chris christie picking up even more support in new hampshire and locking horns with donald trump. yesterday, christie received the endorsement of top law enforcement officers at the federal and county level, along with several major republican activists. after his endorsement from the influential union leader newspaper. but the new support has drawn the attention of donald trump. who tweeted, quote, how is chris christie running the state of new jersey, which is deeply troubled, when he is spending all of his time in new hampshire? new jerseyans not happy. well, christie had this to say. >> i'm really glad that donald noticed me. that's so nice.

and i'm happy to take any observations he has, even if he can only do them in 140 characters or less which seems to be the best way he can communicate. so that's fine. and the governor and trump also traded words about the billionaire's comments, alleging that new jersey muslims celebrated as the world trade center towers collapsed in 2001. last week christie said he did not remember it. but also, quote, there could be things i forget, too. >> people microanalyze every word. i said i don't remember it. and i wanted to qualify that day, not that i thought it happened, but just to remind people that that was a very emotional day for me. it was personally emotional, and i was not focused that day on everything that was going on all across the state. what i was focused on was my wife and my brother, who were in lower manhattan, and who i hadn't heard from for a long, long time. but if you'd like me to say it another way i'm happy to say it another way. it didn't happen. >> it didn't say that the other day. he was very weak the other day. so the other day he said it like, well, he doesn't know. and now i guess he feels a

little bit emboldened. he must be careful with what he says. >> being warned by donald trump to be careful what i say is fascinating. so you know, well you know, i don't think donald often picks his words with great care. so, listen, i was there on september 11th. i wasn't across the river in new york city. i was there. and not only myself, but the state attorney general at the time john farmer, good, smart, you know, republican. has said the same thing that i've said, that it didn't happen. and you know the worst part of his claim is that he says he saw it on television. well no one has been able to unearth any video of any such thing happening. if it was widely enough shown on network television in new york city, you can usually find that video fairly quickly. so, you know, listen, donald is used to intimidating folks. but i have no reason to engage with him. his facts are wrong. i know that. he knows it, too.

so it's okay. >> and it's not even 2016 yet. we've got a lot more ahead on "morning joe." governor chris christie will sit down with joe and mika live from concord, new hampshire. donald trump held a private meeting with dozens of african-american pastors at trump tower yesterday but there was no group endorsement as the campaign had signaled last week. the candidate said yesterday that many faced pressure from the black lives matter movement. he gave a brief press conference flanked by former apprentice contestant omarosa, who is a baptist preacher. then trump was off to georgia for a rock star reception with 5,000 supporters, and a guest appearance from 2012 presidential candidate herman cain. >> i want to thank herman cain, my friend, for his wonderful remarks, he's really a good guy. 999, right? 999. can you believe i'm running part-time? i'm like running part-time. i'm doing well for a part-timer,

right? we're leading in everything. the biggest crowds, by far, so much bigger than bernie sanders. you know you always hear about bernie sanders. our crowds -- no. may he rest in peace. you know he had an operation today. i think it was a hernia operation. you know. you know why? carrying around too much tax problems. we can't tell anymore jokes. you know, every time i kid and tell jokes, these guys put on like, you know, little segment, all they do is they show these little snippets. they do whatever they can to make you look bad. so what i'm going to do, i'm not going to tell anymore jokes. i'm not going to kid. oh, you want me to? you want me to? okay. okay, so i will. >> meanwhile ted cruz who is surging in iowa and trying to win over carson and trump supporters made this bold

prediction. >> i don't think it's good advice for us to get in business with -- now i do think, let me be very clear i don't believe donald trump is going to be our nominee. i don't believe he's going to be our president. and i actually think the men and women in this room have something powerful to say. >> well, he's got to say that. i mean he expects to be. but i think that i will be leading in every poll, and leading by actually very wide margin, so i think i will be. >> and yesterday ted cruz didn't shy away from taking on reproductive rights, everything from planned parenthood to contraception access, which he said was contrived by democrats to make republicans out to be the, quote, condom police. >> this was an individual who is deranged. and i will say it's unfortunate to see so many folks in the press bending over backwards to try to use this horrible crime to advance a political agenda. this man is a deranged murderer. we don't know at this point what

his motivations were, although we can see the president eagerly salivating to suggest that this particular murderer might have been a republican. and he should be punished to the full extent of the law. but none of that changes the reality that planned parenthood is in the business of buying and selling the body parts of unborn children. 2012 elections, democrats spent a lot of time trying to contact a war on women. now interestingly enough it's worth noting the war on women wasn't based on abortion. the war on women wasn't that, it was contraceptives. now listen, i have been a conservative my entire life. i have never met anybody, any conservative, who wants to ban contraceptives. as i noted, heidi and i, we have two little girls. i'm very glad we don't have 17.

jiminy cricket this is a made-up, nonsense example. last i checked we don't have a rubber shortage in america. but look when i was in college, we had a machine in the bathroom, you put 50 cents in, and voila! >> let's go to the other side of the aisle. last night the state department released nearly 8,000 more pages of hillary clinton's e-mails from her time as secretary of state. it's the largest release to date of e-mails from clinton's private server, and it clears a court-ordered requirement that 66% of the e-mails she turned over from that server be made public by november 30th. of note in this batch, the day after the 2012 attack in benghazi, clinton was sent a declassified update citing an anti-islamic film as a possible catalyst for the attack. it says that according to a source, the immediate events were set in motion by a statement made by a muslim cleric in egypt, saying that the internet film was going to be shown across the united states on september 11th in an effort

to incult muslims on the anniversary of the attacks on the new york world trade center in 2001. but the e-mail goes on to note that, quote, some of the libyan officials believe the entire demonstration was organized as a cover for the attack. they also point out there was no evidence supporting that theory at the time. and the day of the attack, chelsea clinton expressed her sympathies to her mother. the e-mail reads, quote, i am so sorry about the state department officer killed in libya, and the ongoing precariousness in egypt and libya. such anathema to u.s. -- to us as americans, and a painful reminder of how long it took modernism to take root in the u.s. after the enlightenment, the 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th amendments, removal of censorship norms and laws, et cetera. meanwhile this latest batch contains 328 e-mails deemed to have information that's now classified bringing the total number to 999. hillary clinton hosted a

high profile show of force last night in washington, d.c., surrounding herself with some of the most powerful women in america. 13 of the 14 democratic women in the u.s. senate were there to back her. the notable absence? massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, who was invited but did not attend. warren has yet to endorse clinton or any 2016 candidate just yet. but here's what senator barbara boxer pointed out on msnbc yesterday. >> elizabeth signed a letter that i circulated asking hillary to run and i think in her course of time she's going to come out there for hillary. >> now to colorado, where the suspect in the friday deadly shooting rampage at a planned parenthood clinic made his first appearance in court. robert dear appeared in a video monitor with his public defender yesterday, the same attorney who represented convicted movie theater shooter james holmes. dear is accused of killing three people, including one police officer, nine more were injured. funeral services for officer garrett swasey are set for friday. and more has surfaced from

dear's past. according to the charleston post and courier court records show that dear was arrested in 1992 accused of raping a south carolina woman at knifepoint. there's no record of a conviction, which could mean the case was dismissed. and the chicago police officer charged with murdering a 17-year-old black teen is out of jail on a $1.5 million bond this morning. officer jason van dyke was met with a swarm of reporters after posting bail yesterday. he'd been in jail since last tuesday when the city released dash cam video of him allegedly shooting laquan mcdonald 16 times. and as nbc's stephanie gosk reports, there are also allegations of a cover-up. >> reporter: dash cam video from van dyke's car shows laquan mcdonald running through the parking lot of a burger king just before he was shot 16 times. this burger king has its own system of security cameras, as many as 12. that same night of the shooting, a group of police officers came to the restaurant, wanting to see the video. the manager says they were here

for hours. nbc's chicago station obtained these exclusive images taken the night of the shooting. chicago police officers, inside burger king's security office. the next day it was discovered that 86 minutes of video, including the time of the shooting, were missing. the restaurant manager told wmaq reporter carol marine that the police erased the files. >> he said i'll system works, it has worked flawlessly for a long time, it never shuts down. and, he said, there's no other explanation. >> the head of chicago police says it didn't happen. >> there were apparently technical difficulties, but in no way, shape or form is there any evidence that anything was tampered with. >> that was stephanie gosk reporting. we also saw another round of protests in chicago yesterday. demonstrators chanting stop the cover-up, and 16 shots. ten protesters were arrested, including the head of the local

naacp. they were all released a short time later. and still ahead on "way too early," air emergency, five straight days of dangerous smog in beijing, part of the reason why so many world leaders are gathered here in paris. and, an unbelievable end to a classic afc battle in monday night football. not that you care, but it's the reason my heart is broken this morning, die-hard cleveland fan that i am, giving away the ending. oh. come on. no. say it isn't so. we'll have those stories and a check on the weather when "way too early" continues.

further than these pictures from beijing, china, yesterday, the city absolutely overwhelmed by smog. highways were closed, construction works suspended, schools kept kids inside. readings of the poisonous particle reached 25 times what the world health organization classifies as safe. now to monday night football. afc north rivals baltimore and cleveland, let's fast forward to the fourth quarter. ravens leading 27-20 when backup quarterback austin davis finds travis benjamin wide open down the middle of the field for a touchdown tying up the game at 27. cleveland would then get the ball back, move it down the field, set up for the game-winning field goal. and -- >> it is blocked. and is picked up by will little. will hill runs down the sideline. hill is going to get a block. will hill is going to win the game on a blocked field goal! unbelievable!
