byrd: it's the number of boxes. reporter: is that 55 individuals? dr. byrd: no. it's the number of boxes that the remains came in. and at no time did we expect there to be one body, one box. nor did the north koreans try to pitch it that way to us when we were in wonsan. ms. sanders: john. reporter: mr. director, thank you. what type of certainty do you have that the remains that the north koreans have handed over to the americans are that of missing americans as opposed to other nationalities that fought alongside the americans who were in the korean war? mr. mckeague: we have a high confidence. so in the early '90s, for five years, the north koreans would repatriate, unilaterally, remains that they had recovered. out of those 208 boxes over those five years, we estimated, after dna sampling, 400 individuals. now, from that, 200 were americans. so the likelihood is -- you're correct, there may be some u.n. forces, there may be some south korean soldiers -- remains, as well as chinese and north korean. our laboratories both dna and , the forensic laboratory have

byrd alluded to some of the things that are going on in washington. reading the book, that struck me a lot, including that the original source was an irs agent and it was less about the glamorous stuff that she read about in trials or in mystery books. tell everybody about how that went down. i am just curious, was he somebody that did you spend a lot of time at them or is this just piecing it up afterwards? >> i will start by saying i'm a journalist and there certain kinds of sourcing i can't talk about. i can name the source. in this book, there are characters that it probably looks like a talk to them.

john byrd, the defence p.o.w.nd miaking agency and director timothy mcmann have joined us to take questions on this topic. after this i will be back up to address other questions. >> ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. the august 1st repatriation and homecoming in hawaii of the remains of the korean war unaccounted for was a pointed manifestation of the commitment secured by president trump and pledged by chairman kim at the singapore sum. for the families of the 7,700 still unaccounted for, from the korean war, this first step in fulfilling this commitment has undoubtedly provided a sea of hope. last week, over 700 of these family members gathered in arlington, virginia to receive government updates and they were resoundedly appreciative of the successful advocacy of the president and his administration. two of those family members who attended, charles and larry mcdaniel were the recipients of their father of indiana. it was a sole personal fit returned by the north koreans. the remains of those 55 cases are w

you say, look, maybe the treatment options aren't actually working or maybe just too toxic for my byrdthat's a very, very tough difficult conversation to have. we know that senator mccain likely had a seizure last week and may have been declining over the past week and then with his family probably helping him make this decision now to forgo therapy. we don't know what the next several days or weeks are likely to hold for senator mcmahon. but this is likely what has happened over the past several days. back to you. >> dr. gupta, thank you. and a quick programming note. tune in labor day for the cnn film rbg on the inspiring life of ruth bader ginsburg. airing september 3rd at 9:00 p.m. we're back in a moment. aging power grids, ...aging everything. we also have the age-old problem of bias in the workplace. really... never heard of it. the question is... who's going to fix all of this? an actor? probably not. but you know who can solve it? business. because solving big problems is what business does best. so let's take on the wage gap, the opportunity gap, the achievement gap. whatever

you know, i am a little bit jaded about what richard byrd is doing here. the investigation, yes it is credible, yes it is bipartisan. there are only seven people investigating it according to public reports. they are still working on reviewing what the intelligence committee new by january 2017, so they are not getting to the guts of whether there really was collusion. so it is sort of richard byrd's job to test these claims and go on tv and claim there was no collusion rather than really to get to the core of whether there was or not. i think that is more what is going on here than really trying to get to the bottom of things. but we will, because the senate intelligence committee already got testimony from michael cohen, we will learn quickly whether he is backing off his prior testimony because of yesterday -- amy: and might want to get more testimony from him. i'd like to turn to democratic senator richard blumenthal who said in a statement tuesday that the white house was looking increasingly like a criminal enterprise. this is blblumenthal speaking t

training planes not combat planes for now he has declared unprecedented third term the attack by senator byrd could have been a killer of attack but he handled that effectively horton was in the white house almost every day circulating the rules that you expect of bureaucracy and politics and bureaucratic pr stays out but with that gusher of information about airplane production contracts. you cannot bump you cannot bump into a press release about the latest about airplane production contracts. all of these things happen before pearl harbor. it is so important we understand that. it was exceptionally important. after pearl harbor the ground rules changed after that you would expect that your credit propaganda for the war and winning in victory against the enemy would be permitted. but what horton did with the declaration was tiptoeing through the tulips that were political landmines and that he succeeded to do that is an indication of what he did and why he did and his skill fdr skill to permit him to do it it was an enormous accomplishment so just to the end of the story now it is the larges

for more on this a short time ago i spoke to deborah byrd from austin texas.xplaining what causes this annual shower. the meteors and annual showers come from comets, so the comet that spawned their shower is nowhere near, it has a 130 year orbit around the sun, but we intersect in its orbit every year around the sun and when we do little bits of debris from the comet and the atmosphere and those other meteors. why is this one so and those other meteors. why is this one so special? it is a very special shower, probably the most beloved of all of the meteor showers, there are about a dozen every year, but this is so fantastic because it is really reliable, so if you go out into a dark sky you will probably see something. this year is a really good year to see it because there is no moon in the sky. so last year for example there was a bright moon in the sky. we couldn't see anything but the brightest meteors. this year we will see all of the meteors and that will be a beautiful sight. we are already in fact getting many pictures of people taking photos of meteo
