united states transportation secretary elaine chao told us that automated vehicles have the potential to save thousands of lives annually and improve the quality of life through reduction of traffic congestion increased productivity and environmental benefits oh yea me a level up for a ton of us car we have both situations displayed there as well also we have the steering wheel is more like a student unit and if you if you if the cars mean you in the tunnel smoke this gives you this kind of physical system we call it the tray and the perfect position by you can maybe reading a book or you can use something for you so good to see as we want to share as soon as possible and process also very important to get the few become accustomed by the public how ready everybody is already for that but these specific concept cos we did the last 2 years show. some of these but that doesn't mean that everything what we did here move on the person being in production while we may not yet feel comfortable in a driverless robo car what's on display here is demonstrating the pace of innovation with genui

this will be the united states transportation safety board.one that way to ensure there is independence between manufacturers and so on. in that case it will be very difficult for the ntsb to deploy to iran. in that case there is provision for another state to volunteer its services, so a more neutral state in the circumstances might offer to decode the flight data recorder, for example. a local estate such as the uae, which is offered with 8737 accident a few years ago, they might be able to build on the batiste —— at 737 accident. lots of states will offer help. there are ways around this. this seems to have been a pretty new aircraft, only in service for a handful of years. from what you have been gleaning so far, what do you think might have happened? because it happened during take off, it isa because it happened during take off, it is a critical stage of a flight and therefore something that crews will train to deal with. if there has indeed been an engine failure, which is a suggested pub stability, then you will look at what cost the t

overnight, iranian officials inviting the canadian and united states national transportation safety board along with boeing to help in the investigation as the country continues to deny shooting down the jet calling it scientifically impossible, but look. this was the scene hours after the crash wednesday, and this is video from thursday morning. the crash scene cleared by the iranian government of wreckage and potential evidence, but investigators did recover the black box which could help piece together the truth. before americans can join the investigation, the state department and other government officials would need to give the green light for the ntsb to participate. >>> now to the other story breaking overnight also affecting boeing, more company messages have been turned over to congress in connection with the investigation of the 737 max jet. that plane has been grounded after two deadly crashes. the messages revealed boeing employees mocking the faa and discussing how to deceive regulators. one message reads, the airplane is designed by clowns, who in turn are supervised by mon

and tonight in a statement from the united states national transportation safety bureau, they have saidt the iranian investigators have invited a member of their team to go ahead and join all the international investigators that are at that crash site. reporting live in walnut creek, i'm sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. >> stay with nbc bay area for the latest details on this conflict in iran. you can go to our website, nbcbayarea.c know while you're on the go. >>> let's get to other news tonight. we have finally made it to friday, almost at least. it is clearing up and looks gorgeous outside. it's also a new danger a our chiefi m us. what are you seeing? >> we do have king tides returning throughout the next three days. we have two important changes happening in outer space that will impact us starting tomorrow. the first thing is the sun is on its closest point right now to earth known as perihelion. the moon is also at its closest point. the sun and the move have a very strong gravitational pull. with both of these close to earth, it's helping to pull that water, the ocean farther

and what triggered these bonds was 80.2 million dollar grant from the united states department of transportation to build the roach port bridge. even more to celebrate our vital grants we have received to complete the mcarthur bridge in st. louis, make significant improvements to the river port and keep toronto, solidify the east look at reservoir product -- project in northern missouri and finally wrap up funding for the i-49 bellow vista bypassed in southwest missouri. i appreciate the support and leadership from our federal delegations in securing those funds, especially congressman sam graves and senator roy lob long. these products -- projects are critically important to the region and i am proud of the hard work to leverage every tax dollar to the fullest and make our transportation system safer for all missouri and. in addition to these projects, we got even better return than expected on the infrastructure and cost share program that you all passed, and i'm excited to tell you that this nearly 50 million dollar investment will lead to nearly 150 million dollars in new infrastructure inve

federal agency charged with congress investing every civil aviation accident in the united states and other modes of transportation conduct a safety investigation and our mission is not to just determine what happened but why it happened and how it happened to prevent this accident, a similar accident from ever happening again. before i go any further i want to once again extend our deepest sympathies to those who lost loved ones in this tragic event. i can't imagine what the families and friends of those who perished in this accident are going through, but now that our hearts go out to you and you will be on our minds over the next days and months and years ahead. this morning we began with an organisational meeting where we established parties to the investigation, part as to the investigation are entities that provide technical expertise that will help us in gathering factual information to help us conduct the investigation. the parties to the investigation or the federal aviation administration, sikorsky, pratt & whitney canada, the national air traffic controllers association. we also established investigativ

state of new mexico is alan diehl he's a former national transportation safety board and united states air force investigator out and let me start by asking about this admission that it was human error how does one bring down a passenger jet all of this size with human error oh of course if they're talking about that it was shot down in the chute and was caused by human error that would suggest that something is going going on perhaps in the missile battery or the command and control system that's now i investigated that were specter side over a rock it was a u.s. air force 2 air force fighter planes cut down to issue u.s. army black hawk helicopters. we see the sort of act that's occurred your previous guest mentioned the the caribbean. i believe we have lost alan diehl will be trying to get him back to speak a little more about that well we're going to move on and then return to this story when we get him back. well in other news the middle east's longest ruling monarch among sultan qaboos been side of side has died aged 793 days of mourning have now been declared and the process has

transport stoppage. and now to the united states where people are proceeding as the president's trump moved to the senate today before the start of a formal impeachment trial next week chief justice john roberts will come to the capitol a to swear in all 100 senators as jurors this is just the 3rd impeachment trial in u.s. history on this happening during an election year with president trump seeking a 2nd term here's the house speaker nancy pelosi. every day that were involved in this impeachment is a sad day for america and yesterday was one when we were given no choice but to send to the senate 2 articles of impeachment against donald trump the president of the united states for his president necessitated this by his abuse of power and that direction of congress and his actions which undermined our national security. violated his oath of office to protect and defend the constitution and jeopardize the integrity of our election and now to washington i will be fine to bureau chief nominee welcome alexandra what happens now so today the u.s. senate. procedural groundwork for the trial the house managers

the national transportation board in the united states would most certainly be on planes or mediately to go to assist with the investigation and as well as where the most amount of citizens that died and that in this case it would have been canada would also immediately send investigators as well that's under normal circumstances but with this crash it is not normal circumstances primarily because as we all know the united states has no diplomatic ties with iran for over 40 years now therefore american investigators can't just assume they can get in there and start the investigation or assist the iranians with the investigation boeing as well the manufacturer of the plane they normally would be sending a media at least teams of investigators as well that's not happening since boeing is an american company and canada hasn't had diplomatic relations with iran since 2012 when canada closed its embassy in tehran so what you have here is you have a sensually a very difficult situation on 2 of the countries canada the united states that would normally be involved in this really not to invol

united states. things like butcher shops. independent food stores and bakeries that were alive and well in latin america. - - that essentially gets transportedd transposed to places in the united states. [indiscernible] i want to talk about those in a little bit more detail. often as a writer, these immigrants work really hard. let's be honest, small business owners all work really hard. it wasn't necessarily about them. it was about other external factors. the first factor is language. they want to do business in their own language. with their countrymen and country women. it's a source of familiar allergy, comfort and ability. if you are doing things like buying insurance or getting medical care, don't want to do it knowing we don't speak well. if mistakes are made, it can be serious indeed. the second factor was competition. the same kind of devastating downward pressure on the prices they could charge. affects english speaking businesses, just doesn't apply in the same way to hispanic businesses. that's why bodegas and - - could revive commerce in places like 26th street. if you look at a thing called the - - index. it's a well-recognize

and we're going to have much more on this deadly disease outbreak tonight and its transport to the united states, at least one case. we'll be talking with health and human services secretary alex azar here later in the show. president trump today in davos delivering the opening address at the world economic forum, and president trump sent a message to not only the global elites in attendance, but to working american men and women and their families as well. >> the time for skepticism is over. people are flowing back into our country, companies are coming back into our country. many of you who i know are coming back in with your plants and your factories. thank you very much. america's newfound prosperity is undeniable, unprecedented and unmatched anywhere in the world. america achieved this stunning turn around not by making miles per hour changes to a handle of -- minor changes to a handful of policies, but by adopting a whole new approach centered entirely on the well-being of the american worker. every decision we make on taxes, trade, regulation, energy, immigration, education and more is fo

united states wasn't mentioned as united states, they only referenced the u.s. as ntsb, national transportation safety board. they invited in ukraine as a co-lead or co-participant in the investigation, and their preliminary report does follow the treaty that the u.s. has signed and others have signed as to how to conduct. so at this point, other treaties and laws are allowed to have the investigation. canada is completely up to speed and up to date on the 737 playing a major role in the 737 max 8 grounding. this is not a max 8 but they studied the plane. and transport canada and the ntsb are very capable. so my hope would be if the u.s. can't play a role that canada would quickly step into one of the lead roles. they will do a great job. >> important insights, mary scavo. it is quite possible, not confirmed, not definitive, but quite possible an anti-aircraft missile could be responsible for the downing of that ukrainian airliner jet that took off from tehran. 170 people dead. sto >>> now a big debate in congress over the president and his war powers. at's why there's otezla. otezla is not a c

germany that number has gone up and here in the united states we've heard here on thursday the 1st case of a person to person. contamination or transport of this disease here in the united states in the state of illinois this was a husband and wife in their sixty's the wife was in china she came back apparently the husband then had signs of illness was taken a hospital in the tests came back positive for a krone virus on the husband so those are cases now in the united states 6 total in the united states that was the 1st person a person though that we saw here and over 100 different cases people being tested in the united states but their results have not yet come back positive so while the c.d.c. is saying this we also are seeing these cases they continue to spread and spreading globally. for the moment gabriel we'll leave it there thanks very much for the update let's cross over to john he's a senior scholar of the john hopkins university center full health security and joins us now from pittsburgh in pennsylvania good to have you with us. i think you could just see our international viewers if you just off the beginning i mean what

victims, but also the united states, crucially, it was aus the united states, crucially, it was a us made aircraft so boeing needs to be involved. crucially, the canadian transportationcause they do have very good expertise and things like analysing the black boxes. i should also add quickly if i made that something very odd came from the iranians government yesterday or today, they wa nted government yesterday or today, they wanted to invite the russians into investigate or analyse the black box and given that it is probably a russian missile that brought down the aircraft, that would be a bit odd, i think. iran says it is military that shot down the plane. will foreign investigators including canadian investigators including canadian investigators want to have access to that decide whether missile was fired? will that that decide whether missile was fired ? will that be that decide whether missile was fired? will that be crucial to an investigation? that is a very good point. in the case of mh i7, investigation? that is a very good point. in the case of mh 17, the russians to this day have not turned over primary radar data which will give a lot of clues as to what

transportation safety was and still is a prudent decision. preserving this capability is important for the united states to remain the world's leader in transportation automation. the fscc will soon put its notice of proposed rule making in the federal register. all five commissioners voted in favor of taking away part of the safety ban in december. this notice of proposed rule making will be open for comments for 30 day, and then reply comments for 60 days. this will give the traveling public emergency responders and all of you researchers, and us, the department of transportation, the opportunity to comment on the proposal. well, thank you very much for listening. and now, all of us are available to take your questions. >> yes. one thing i will point out is that if you have enjoyed this part of the discussion, on vehicle to everything technology, tomorrow james owens and diana will be on the its america panel at 9:30 in the fairagat north room in mezzanine three. this is a very important corporation that we want to continue. so please, we hope to see you there. i also want to say that the secretary of transportation elaine chao will be in this roo

chinese cities like wuhan and we close the border with russia and mongolia and transportation to singapore and to the united statese are things you do when you're not panicking. those are smart preventatives that you do to keep this thing from being like the last pandemic that came out, not even the loss, all the great pandemics of the last 100 years going all the way back to 2018, 102 years the spanish flu, had a origin in china, that took out 5% of the worlds population in 2018. because nobody locked on anything. nobody did anything about it. the great news, it looks like everybody is panicking, no there during opposite of panicking. there be imprudent. >> we still don't know the true total. morning joe, they are taking on the trump economy. they are saying the trump economy is worse than under jimmy carter and bill clinton. they say the numbers for the past years or 2.3% growth versus bill clinton three-point to, jimmy carter three-point to and bill clinton 2.7. your take on the argument that it's worse than bill clinton and jimmy carter. >> what morning joe did this morning, he looked at gdp growth in the thir

united states. just deal with transportation. i often hear it said when i'm um on a hill talking with people or talking with the media that transportation doesn't have any cap. there's no program that looks at transportation. it's actually not true. there's three very major ones. so, you have the corporate average fuel economy or the mobile ghg requirements out of the epa. that is directly a ghg program. you have the zero emission program in california and nine of ten states and you have the renewable fuel standard which is the one we're going to spend most of the time on today. so, the rfs, renewable fuel standard. this began in 2005. i was working with vice president cheney in the bush white house. it was birthed in 2005 and supercharged in 2007. so, in 2007 is where we got the volume requirements that are in the statute today. it was initially created to reduce american dependence on foreign oil, to promote rural development, and reduce ghg emissions. i think you can see that in the three folks most critical in getting that le

you so behind all the rhetoric that we have been hearing from transporting think israel messages the real message is that we the united states have absorbed the attack in our base in the early hours and that we think we hope that iran has absorbed the assassination of its general or be it influential gen. me that does not make us friends or partners we are still the good old nemesis even enemies and the united states will maintain a pressure all social pressures on iran until it does abide by a good number of victories that the united states insists it must well because another one of the things that trump mentioned was more punitive economic sanctions on iran so what does all of this mean for the country. look iran. today is far better off than it was a few days ago despite again losing a general and influential general in iran today or the regime i should say the ayatollah as the iranian regime is on a far better position today than it was several days ago it was on that a lot of pressure internally there was a popular movement rising popular movement against the regime there was suffering economically and that was showing

united states' assassination of qassem soleimani. iran warned iraq about its retaliatory military strikes ahead of time. despite these advance warnings, the pentagon says 11 injured -- 11 troops were transported to military hospipitals in germany and kuwait and treated for concussion symptoms. the senate has voted to approve the united states-mexico-canada agreement, the replacement for nafta, or the 1994 north american free trade agreement. thursday's 89 to 10 vote means the legislation now heads to trump's desk, where he's expected to sign it. among those who voted against the trade deal was vermont senator bernie sanders, who was the only current 2020 democratic presidential candidate to oppose the deal. he says it does not do enough to combat climate change. s in ther candidate senate also ported the deal. the senate's approval of the usmca comes only one day after trump signed a separate trade deal with china. a new bloomberg analysis shows that six banks -- jpmorgan chase, bank of america, citigroup, wells fargo, goldman sachs, and morgan stanley -- avoided paying a combined total of $18 billion worth of taxes last year as a result of president trump's tax cuts. this is trump speaking e
