chief scott goldstein called them significant. a plastic bags in inside the house are to blame for this fire on outpost drive in north potomac. >> ashes, no matter how long since the last fire, no matter how cold you think they are, put them in a metal can. fires ishe number of unprecedented, but the chief points out that no residents were injured and two firefighters suffered just minor injuries thanks to working smoke alarms. we enjoy thel as evening tonight and ring in the new year that you have that smoke detector on every level of your house, outside of every living unit come every sleeping area. cheryl: year rings in the new smoke detector law in maryland stating that battery-only alarms have to be replaced with sealed 10-your batteries -- 10-year batteries. the bitter cold makes it tough on firefighters, some called for one fire to the next. do not know what caused this fire at the condo buildings, but so far they say it is accidental. in gaithersburg, cheryl conner, abc 7 news. kimberly: because of tragedies like these, th

stephanie ivy and john goldstein from goldman sachs, john will speak first. and then ofear second. they'll be 15 minutes. third will be allan and i will go last and allan and i, we pledge total of 15 minutes of two, if he takes 8, i have 7. john, if you could. stephanie, please reintroduce yourselves. >> good afternoon to the board, thank you for having us. protecting the environment and thinking about esg, it's been a longstanding focus of our firm. we have a very large clean energy business, we've already deployed about $40 billion in capital to clean energy and have expanded that goal to $150 billion by 2025. we've held 89 companies scale up the clean energy and renewable efforts in 29 countries. our own building was built to the gold esg standard, so we focus a lot of resources thinking about this from an investment perspective as well as business. we worked with some of the largest institutions on ways to think about reducing the carbon footprint because we agree this is a critical issue that needs to be addressed. we did partnership with the state of new york which was announ

it is because of basic science research done 30 years ago by nobel laureates brown and goldstein figuring was a critical pathway that controlled cholesterol and you could interfere with that with the development of a particular drug. david: when humans emerged from caves 200,000 years ago or so, or homo sapiens emerged, the average life expectancy was 20. more or less. today it is more or less, in the developed world, the united states, maybe around 80, so we have increased our life expectancy by four times. how much longer do you think people really can keep increasing their longevity? dr. collins: so, much of that happened in the last hundred years. if you look at around 1900, average lifespan in the united states was late 40's, so we have dramatically extended that. is human life extendable beyond about age 100? it is not clear that if we don't tinker with biology, that we will get much beyond that point because there does seem to be a program here of limited lifespan, and frankly, evolution cares about that. you have to get one generation out of the way so the next one has its chance,

by amy goldstein of the "washington post." >> first, what's the impetus behind this? what kind of was kentucky first in line? >> the idea of requiring people on medicaid to work or do some other kind of community engagement has been something that many republicans and other conservatives have been eager to do for years. it started with welfare reform 20 years ago and then moved into food stamps, now called snap. the notion that people who receive certain government benefits should have to do something in exchange for getting that help. but that's never been part of medicaid before, which is, of course, health insurance for low-income people in this country. and a number of states had asked for federal permission to do this during the obama administration and always been rejected, but under the trump administration there's been much more sympathy for this idea. as you said, kentucky just became the first state to get permission on friday. >> sreenivasan: there was medication expansion in several states, so that increased the number of people in states like kentucky tha

and or barack obama's administration ok you've got jenny rhee you've got your weisman you've got goldstein you've got peter stories like these are you've got what's your name. berman jackson you've got the other one that also was the prosecutor against the man of fort so this is a complete this is not an impartial investigation this is not an independent investigation if it was then you would have prosecutors that were from i don't know the george w. bush administration or you'd have people that were from the george h. walker bush or even if the reagan administration people are still around from there this would have a mix of luck it is not there it is pointed out here with. a point on many go ahead richard go ahead go ahead richard. i'm saying mohler robert muller who is the head of this was a ronald reagan appointee to a top law enforcement position he was at george h.w. bush appointee to a top law enforcement position he was at george w. bush to a top law enforcement position moeller so this notion about who is on the staff you know the contribution or to a political party is it or thou

and there was just kind of this -- this -- i don't know -- this tension. >> reporter: scott goldstein could tell right away this could be unusual. >> the opening line, i think, for the prosecutors was, "there are two people on the face of the earth who could've done this." they said up front that it's about these two -- these two men. >> reporter: nathan and daniel. a boyfriend incapable of murder, the prosecutor would say, and that boy's roommate, driven by jealousy. >> we couldn't just go in and say, "here's the -- here's the physical evidence, and the circumstantial evidence, and you know he did it." we had to then show all the evidence that we had that showed nathan didn't do it, because we knew that was gonna be the defense. >> reporter: and as for daniel -- >> i told them in opening statement, it is bizarre as it is brutal. and i wanted them to know that they would be hearing a case where their first reaction was going to be, "how could this happen? this -- this is -- this is crazy." >> i didn't want to be in the middle of the case and them trying to figure out, "wait, what's go

but also interesting, the under-secretary of state of state, steve goldstein, acknowledged he has thectly what he told me. he said that everyone has a line that they don't want to cross and respect that. we are sorry to see him go. acknowledging that the ambassador reached a point because of where the president's policies and statements that that was crossing a line he couldn't stomach anymore. one more point, brooke, this is a career service foreign officer, in addition to having been a marine. they fight in many assignment as round the world to get to level of ambassador. they don't leave these roles lightly, right? it took a lifetime of work and commitment and travel around the world to get to that position, so to leave that position as a protest is a remarkable step to take. >> jim sciutto, we'll look for you tonight sitting in for anderson, "ac 360," 8:00. thank you. >>> still ahead here, trip cancelled. the reason president trump says he called off his visit to london next month and what the london mayor says is the real reason. but do you take something for your brain. with an

doctor lee goldstein who is leading the study says that some of the hits that cause ct e may result inconcussions but concussions are not necessary to trigger the process. he says that they are finding backups statistics that show 20 percent of athletes that has cte were never diagnosed with a concussion. >>> all right. soon we will be able to fly to new orleans listening to jazz get good food from atlantic city. because spirit is offering none in stop flights from ac international airport, starting april 13th. they expect to upgrade about four flights a week between the two cities. >>> wells fargo apologizing, again, this time to customers after a glitch drained some accounts by double paying their bills on line, and the bank says that the processing error has been fixed, one would hope so, customers say their problem caused the accounts to be overdrawn, wells far get will refund any related fees or charges. >>> all right. time to get the lead out. you can now spotify that stairway to heaven for the very first time, and number of other bands as well, pretty cool, streaming now, big jo

. >> chris goldstein of south philly normal having a smoke with fellow weed activist mike.te police are using the medicinal patient database to enforce federal law says chris the state police website does say that if off card and try to buy a gun under federal law you will will be denied and if you had a gun when you got a card, they recommend you consult an attorney. so they do seem to be checking medical card holders. >> we don't ask anybody to do with that with other medication in america. and there's no reason that they should be asked to give up any of their constitutional rights or any of their privacy when it comes to medical cannabis. >> reporter: mike is a former marine a war veteran who smokes pot to call many his ptsd he'd be a shoe in for a medical card but he'll base he doesn't like the database. >> yes like the registry. i don't like the fact i have to sign up haven't my name on a list that is maintained by the sate and they can pull that list at any time and say that i am not worthy of certain rights that other citizens are worthy of. >> reporter: what's miss

and also on bloomberg's best nonfiction books of 2017 list, amy goldstein looks at the effects on a community caused by the closing of a gm plant in janesville. >> it was two days before christmas of 2008 that this general motors plant closed down, something that was just unprecedented in this town and very hard for people to get their heads around, that this time was going to be different. and i knew that no place i was going to pick would be exactly like every place in the country, but as much as possible it seems to me a good idea to pick a community in which the pattern of job losses matched the broad pattern of job losses in the great recession. so nationally and in janesville, a lot of the jobs that disappeared were ones that had paid pretty well, but had not required much formal education. that was certainly true of these auto worker jobs. and in this recession broadly and? janesville, more men than women lost jobs. so i could go on. but there's a sense that the kind of job loss that happened in this small wisconsin city was typical of the country. that appealed to me. i also had a sen

goldstein and the south african investment company. in argentina the father and son operated in network that u.s. prosecutors alleged were used to pay bribes in exchange for multimillion dollar television contracts. one of these companies purchased the rights for the soccer matches and then flipped them to the ecuadorian broadcaster for $311,000. despite the ease of incorporation it was always a tough sell to many potential customers. if you think people don't know where it is try explaining to them with the middle of the pacific ocean. there were all kinds of dangers that came from selling companies but asking no questions about the owners. at first these were the kinds of problems that just afflicted society but not them personally. but it did not stay that way. as the story illustrates. the founder of the guadalajara cartel he owed his fortune to transporting cocaine in late 1984 the thriving marijuana business. he led it. a massive plantation. where they found more than a thousand acres of plants. likely worth several billion dolla

lee goldstein says four years there have been questions about why some people who have never been diagnoseded the conditions. his research team discovered the physical mechanism that happens in concussions and other situations that can lead to cte or traumatic brain injuries. tom vacar is looking into the story and he will have more on the newscast later in the day. >>> a stolen truck slammed into a pickup with two young children inside. coming up, details on the terrible deadly crash that took the life of a four-year-old girl. >>> are you prepared for a financial misery -- emergency? we will tell you the amount of people who would not be prepared to pay an unexpected expense of $1000. >>> we have slowing on the east bay commute including in lafayette. >>> this forecast includes some rain on the lens of our camera with a drizzle around southern marin county as well as sanford. also we have fog. >>> welcome back to "mornings on 2". the city of oakland launched a new program to encourage landlords to rent to low income families. >> i know that so many oak lenders want to do their share to hel

books of the year they include a grant byron cherish now, exit west anything is possible, and amy goldstein'sory. >> i do love when people that, um, that i think i would enjoy their same tastes when they recommend books especially. >> yeah. >> eye got to do it. >> one of my new things get back to reading. i will admit i've not read much in the last year. >> it's hard. it's hard to read when you have other things. >> books on tape >> model that behavior to the kids. they get so caught up in video games and tv to see your parents reading makes a difference. chand your world. that's what i'm going to try to do this year. >> zula if you're watching go read a book. >> i just finished to 13cd' are to the girl with the dragon tattoo. >> cleveland browns, oh, man, this is painful. apparently found a way to lose every single game this season. they lost in two countries, two continents, eight states, nine stadiums, all this season. but they're still going get parade. after perfectly awful season fans will still parade around the stadium in finest browns attire later today. the browns lost their final g

general goldstein, the chief of staff of the air force has said is totally incompatible with drillingen we may limit our foreign policy and military policy where the premier would be shut down. that's why i'm convinced president trump will be drilling out of the gulf. stuart: is that your main reason? i have not heard of that before. i thought it was because of the danger of spills on beaches of beautiful florida. but it's a military thing to you. >> it is. plenty of people make the environmental tourism argument. i think those arguments have some credibility. but to my the most important thing is our nation's defenses and there is not another place on planet earth where we're launching things over water and then landing them on land. the largest air force base in the world is in my district, and it is a critical area for this type of testing ammunitions. so in florida today, we've been able to achieve the great balance of prosperity with a military mission that contributes 10% of the entire gdp to the state of florida. and then obviously, we've got the environmental impacts of it tha
