. >> in the meantime, we have the spector of social media, absent any news conferences. it has been 148 days, the most we hear, we had 74 seconds of him. the most we hear from him is on social media. he took to it again later today to talk about aircraft, specifically a big government contractor, lockheed. based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the lockheed martin f-35 which has been a troubled program, no one is pretending it's not. i asked boeing to price out a comparable f-18 super hornet. i think aviators would tell us that's a different animal. this had an after hours impact on lockheed stock. think of the people working on the f-35 program tonight. >> in fact just a few weeks ago, he was tweeting about lockheed and questioning the pricing on the f-35. the ceo of lockheed happened to be at a meeting in the persian gulf and lost $2 billion in market cap in the next minutes after the tweet went out. one has to wonder about this very public and limited on social media debate. he is creating competition between the two american companies. jobs are at stake. i

reported no problems before and the plane's wreckage was scattered over a wide area, raising the spectorm, 64 members of the official choir of the russian military. russia's president vladimir putin declared monday a national day of mourning. we will conduct a thorough investigation and do everything to support the victims's families. in sochi sunday night, they came to pay respects with candles as part of the darkness and not the mystery surrounding the doomed flight. abc news, new york. >> tens of thens were forced to evacuate after a world war ii era bomb was found in southern germany. they uncovered it last week and they cleaned it up and disabled the detonateors. this was the best time to diffuse it because there was less traffic and people could stay with relatives. rescue workers in italy reached 153 skiers stuck in a broken cable car on christmas eve in the italian alps. it took seven hours to reach the skiers stuck more than 8,000 feet in the air. they used wires to slide down to the ground. no one was hurt. >> video out of southern chile where a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit the

corporate ceo from exxonmobil who has no experience in dropsy, spent his entire career in the increasing spector but in fact has wide global experience and could be controversial because of his close relationship with vladimir putin. they had a long standing relationship and one of their biggest deals was a victim of the ukraine sanctions imposed by the obama administration, canceling 5$500 billion deal between exxonmobil and russia in the arctics. >>ents ing you just mentioned that. you know how we prep on the show, the next couple of hours that was a topic we were going to talk about, his connections with russia and going to ask journalists we were talking to if maybe that would dissuade trump from making that decision and clearly it didn't. >> reporter: this decision, as i understand it, was made in the last couple of days, as the appropriate people in the corporate world were notified of mr. tiller son's likely appoint and all before the breaking news about the russia investigation on the intelligence side. you saw the strong pubback unusual and unprecedented from the transition team from th

the spector of the unknown past is unsettling. what he remembers of this place, what will he not tell me. what if he is right and the absence of the forbidsing presentation is the opposite of memory. perhaps some things will never be remembered and yet also never nor gotten. perhaps some thing is will remain unspoken, and yet always haired. perhaps i will only visit where i was born after my father has passed on. then it will be too late to see what it is that he remembers. the memory having at last expired. this is the paradox of the past. if trauma. of loss. of war. the true were story where there's no ending but the unknown. no conversation except that. which cannot be finished. i think back to my father's father and what happened to his remains. the vietnamese believe a person should be buried twice. this first time in a field removed from home and village, the earth. eats the flesh. the second time the survivors must disenter what remains. if they timed it correctly there will only be bones. if they timed it wrong, there stil

. >> it's a bipartisan problem, we have the spector of the trump potential national security adviser being someone who sent out a tweet suggesting that hillary clinton was involved in sex crimes with children, and his son who is now part of the transition has been repeatedly sending out these tweets. last i checked, there was no national security adviser who was sending out those kinds of tweets. right now we're in a really unprecedented situation, where not only are these conspiracy theorys, you have donald trump's national security advisory and his son who are actually propagating them. >> i want to ask you about this, he's talking about mike flynn's son. until pizza gate is proven to be false, it will remain what do you make of this? >> michael flynn's son should not have sent out that tweet or given that story any sort of legs or legitimacy. the pizzeria definitely has what i would see as a libel suit on their hands. i appreciate the washington post for once pointing out new nuance. michael flynn the elder was referring to something completely different from pizza gate. whether h

pipeline talking about is 5-mile pipeline, spector pipeline here in west roxbury and part of 1 billion-dollar project to increase the new gas supply in new england and residents fear it is unsafe and open quarry that frequently uses dynamite and afraid there could be official sent letters to federal energy regulators as well as the houston company that owns the pipeline saying they failed to share important safety information with boston, fire and police departments. walsh previously filed federal lawsuit challenging federal energy regulatory approval of the project. last hour gene spoke with congressman stephen lynch about this issue. here is what he said. >> my concerns have not been addressed. they have been exacerbated because of the 2 incidents we have had have exploded elsewhere in the united states causing serious damage and some injuries. we are in federal court, mayor walsh has been great on this, right by my side as we have been fighting this. >> catherine: released a statement saying the project and all the facilities involved in it do meet or exceed federal safety standards and re

across the board, you need marin spectors.mportant to point out here that the fire department has four inspector positions that remain vacant right now. and those are fully funded positions. it is not as though the funding is not there. it is just that the positions have not yet been filled. i would imagine that they would be filled in short order now. >> i know we're talking about this coming up in the 9 and we will work to get answers here as well. >>> city council members are asking the public to report illegal buildings. in baltimore, maryland officials on monday respond today a citizen complaint and condemned a building being used as an art space. there were a number of building code violations including fire hazards and lack of permits. >>> one of the bay area's most popular musicians is talking about his time living in spaces like the ghost ship. armstrong is the lead singer of green day. he attended the vigil at lake merritt. he posted a picture of the vigil on instagram. spaces like this allow the strange ones to thri
