he traveled from his home in bend, oregon, to laguna beach, california, where chris lived. he was hoping people like chris's ex-business partner, ed shin, might have some valuable information. steve smith: during that period of time, he gave all types of information out. is, trying to find my son. and he related to me that chris had gotten a false passport. he used a false passport? steve smith: correct. that's what ed said. chris got a fake passport, left the country. keith morrison (voiceover): no contact with his son, a passport that never left the country, and now a fake passport? desperate for help, steve went to the laguna beach police department to file a missing person report. they refused to take it. why? they said i needed to report it to my own city of bend. but eventually, they did take the report when i submitted it. keith morrison (voiceover): after getting the runaround, it seemed to steve, finally, that someone was truly going to investigate chris's disappearance, take on the case. surely, the laguna beach police would get some answers. coming up-- keith morrison (voiceov

he was hoping chris would give it up. i think i need a lawyer to talk to you about this with me. well, it's up to you. josh mankiewicz (voiceover): the supreme court has made it pretty clear-- if someone declares that they want an attorney, the interview is supposed to stop until one can be hired or provided. but in this case, larry was walking a line believing that asking for a lawyer isn't the same as wondering if you need one. corinne loomis was watching from another room. josh mankiewicz: that's about as close as you can get to the i-want-a-lawyer line without actually crossing it. saying that i want it, right. were you holding your breath when he said that? yes, this was a make-or-break interview. if he didn't confess, he was going to walk again. craig melvin (voiceover): "dateline" returns after the break. when you want something, you pursue it. and with vitiligo, the pursuit for your pigment is just the same. it's time you found a proven choice to help restore what's yours. opzelura is the only fda-approved prescription treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo repigmentation. r

chris. we are sorry to see you go and hope that you will be back soon. feel free to bring the cupcakes. we wish you the best. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. de la cruz: i rise today to honor dale murderren, a dedicated leader in south texas agriculture, for winning the 2024 texas farm bureau pioneer award. as president of texas citrus mutual, dale is a steadfast advocate for the state of texas' citrus industry. championing legislative priorities such as the 1944 water treaty, pest and disease management, and leading innovation that strengthens our agriculture community. his work supports thousands of farmers and helps preserve the rich farming heritage of south texas. on behalf of the 15th congressional district of texas, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. i thank you for your service to our farmers and to the great state of tex

most scrutiny are getting more face time with lawmakers this week, hoping to gain enough support to secure their senate confirmations. chris pollone joins me from washington, d.c. one of the nominees is a han man hoping to lead the fbi. >> reporter: kash patel is a former security official. critics are concerned about his views about going after those he views as the deep state. patel seemed to secure the backing of at least one key republican, senator john cornyn of texas. are you concerned at all about the things kash patel has said he would want to do on day one, choice the fbi headquarters, fire a number of agents? >> i think of that as hyperbole. this is the thing i brought up, restoring the reputation of the fbi and justice department as a non-political institution. >> reporter: now mr. trump's pick for director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, also met with lawmakers. the former congresswoman has faced criticism for her meeting with syria's now-toppled dictator, bashir al-assad. she said she agrees with comments that the president-elect has recently posted about syria, that the u.s. should not get involved.

i was holding out for hope a little bit, but in my heart, i felt like chris had passed and gone to be with the lord. but the back of your mind, you're just-- yeah, you're still hoping that you'll see your brother again, that this is all just going to make sense somehow in the end. it didn't make very much sense, did it? mm-mm. keith morrison (voiceover): back at the orange county sheriff's office, a missing person case turned into a homicide investigation. it was up to these investigators to figure out what happened to chris smith and why. coming up, detectives, talk to everyone-- chris's girlfriend-- her heart had been broken. keith morrison (voiceover): --his business partner-- he was very agreeable to help. keith morrison (voiceover): --a new employee. didn't he actually move into chris smith's apartment? he did. keith morrison (voiceover): what would they uncover? when "dateline" continues. - bye, bye cough. - later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any

and after lifting the strictly glitterball, chris mccausland tells us how he hopes his victory will helpe attitudes towards people with disabilities. on newsnight at 10.30pm tonight, we'll bring you fresh insight on the stories of the day, with big interviews and our regular panel of newsnighters — and of course, look at what the papers are saying about tomorrow's news. good evening. the head of the most powerful group in the rebel alliance now in control in syria has told the bbc the country is exhausted by war and isn't a threat to its neighbours, or the west. ahmed al—sharaa led the lightning offensive that toppled president bashar al assad less than two weeks ago. he's the leader of the hayat tahrir al sham, or hts group of rebels. in recent days, he's been trying to allay fears that a new government might restrict the rights of women, and he says the group is no longer linked to al-qaeda. many syrians, however, are sceptical. well, ahmed al—sharaa has been speaking tojeremy bowen, who's live in damascus for us tonight. thanks, clive. ahmed al—sharaa has a long history as a jihadist

supposed to be an independent agency that works on behalf of the american people, i would have hoped, that if chris stood up and said, you know, in a private copconservation, we're not going in to raid president trump's home, and by the way, they also you know spread out materials on the floor they published it, it was unusual, i will tell you, in my time at ag none of these things happened unless department of justice in dc sig signs off so it was coordinated. larry: basically, i know biden had trump derangement syndrome and merrick garland did it looks like wray shared it. when he had a chance to go after joe biden's documents, which were illegal because as you know senators and vice presidents do not take documents away from the archives they are prohibited from doing so, that stuff has never been tried in a court, wray was soft on that, he warned biden camp ahead of time, he did not warn the trump people ahead, he is a bad guy. >> that right, they knew well, that president trump because he was the president could declassify the documents on his way out. and reasons why that was never fully liti

and after lifting the famous glitterball trophy, chris mccausland tells us how he hopes his time on strictlyking place at england rugby�*s governing body with calls for chief executive bill sweeney to go after he received a large bonus, depite huge losses. in a town in northern canada that's known as the polar bear capital of the world, scientists say melting sea ice could spell danger for both the polar bears and the people that live there. hudson bay's bears face starvation. as the climate warms and the ice they need to hunt seals from disappears, they are being forced to spend more time on land, bringing them closer to people. 0ur science correspondent, victoria gill, reports. there's a polar bear under our tundra buggy right now. he's very curious about us. at the height of polar bear season in churchill, manitoba, conservation scientists are out on the tundra, monitoring one of the most southerly polar bear populations in the world. yeah, the bears want to stay with the ice. the bears are waiting for the bay to freeze, so that they can use it as a platform to hunt seals. but as the clim

>> well, first, happy holidays to you, chris, and eddie, and kim. i hope it's great and peaceful and restful, as we discuss these harrowing situations. i have three reasons why i think this is a big mistake. one of which i guess is political, maybe the second is political two. first is joe biden made a commitment before election day, when all of this was said, this was all said before election day. donald trump said it, kash patel said it, all these folks said this before election day. and joe biden made a commitment, he wasn't going to pardon his son. by extension, he wasn't going to give blanket pardons to other people. first, he went back on what he said prior to election day, even though we all knew, if joe biden was planning on doing this, in my view, he should have said this before election day when all this was getting started. i don't trust this guy, and if he gets elected, i'm going to take care of business and protect these people. that's one problem. there's a level in my view of dishonesty or shadiness in this. the second is, people who confron

to the people on stage, especially ambassadors hovered, stevens and hill, and i commend chris's book to you. i hope you will find a good reading as well. i'm indebted to them for supporting me as i prepared to go to seoul and certainly to ke i and the korea society after i was in seoul. even though i never saw a diplomatic assignment, i was honored to be nominated and appointed as ambassador. south korea is a long-standing and trusted ally of the u.s.. even so, it was a challenging diplomatic posting for a number of reasons, including the big differences between washington and seoul over rapprochement with north korea, defense burden-sharing, the missile battery policy towards the people's republic of china and japan, and trade issues. despite these challenges and personal attacks against me -- some south korean media outlets and certain members of the national assembly as well as demonstrations and protests and against me, all of which i discussed -- aimed against me, all of which i discuss in my chapter -- my experiences in south korea were overwhelmingly positive. we traveled across a beautiful

at this point he is staying in with the hopes of being confirmed. chris?congressman, some supporters are wavering. now punch bowl quotes saying these allegations come up in just the last 12 to 14 hours are a surprise to all of us. and so, yes, he does need to address those because this was not something of which we were aware, nor was president trump aware of them. i mean, that's a pretty stark turn around for starters. but, how is trump's team not aware of any of this? what does it say about their ability to properly vet these nominees? >> well, i think it's clear that their vetting process has been very poor, but that's hard when you have a principal in donald trump who often acts on impulse. if you take the reporting around his choice of matt gaetz, happened on an airplane when susie wiles wasn't in the room and saw what happened with that one. i think it's becoming clear, chris, that pete hegseth is a dead man walking in terms of his nomination opportunities. and it has this real unsettling feeling when it says the president told me to keep going. that

and after lifting the trophy, chris mccausland on the joy of strictly and how he hopes his win will helpat is often the problem, it's people's attitudes towards them. and coming up on bbc news, manchester united head coach ruben amorim says he wants marcus rashford to stay at old trafford after the forward revealed he was ready for a new challenge.

this is a great opportunity to introduce sumo and we hope that a lot of people are attracted to our sport. sumo in london — it's gonna be huge. chriserpool held to a 3—3 draw at newcastle united, so their lead aat the top of the table is now seven points. lots more on that on the bbc sport website. but from me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. hello there. the weather is set to stay pretty unsettled as we head towards the weekend, but it's not a complete wash—out. there will be some drier, brighter interludes from time to time before the wet and windy weather moves through, and then it will turn noticeably colder, particularly for the second half of the weekend. so, one weather front has been bringing some heavy rain — that's sweeping its way east. a brief lull, but only briefly, before the next system starts to pile in, so rainfall accumulations are going to start to pep up over the next few days. widely, we could see 50mm of rain, but across north wales, northwest england, some areas could see 70—80mm, possibility of further localised flooding. so, not a bad start for many across central and eastern areas, clouding over

niners offensive line coach chris foerster says even with all the injuries, he's hoping to see some improvementdo a better job. we're a part of the run game not being as successful as it could have been the last few weeks. we're also, you know, so that's that's what we have to continue to work on to improve these last few weeks. there's changes. runners are different. the linemen are different. there's excuses. they're just excuses. it's not productive enough and we have to be better at it. >> all right sunday's game is in miami and kickoff is 125. >> okay. interesting day out there today. a lot of fog again this morning, especially in the inland bay valleys that kept temperatures in places like fairfield, vacaville and antioch cooler than you might expect. and as a matter of fact, fairfield comes in at what looks like an overnight low of 49 degrees. vallejo 47. how does that's how it goes again tonight. again, that fog living in the central valley and then it spills out at night. it's warmer at the coast. it's cooler inland now. right. so the water, because the water is warm. so that warmer ai

chris brought up access to software provider. i hope people go read the statute. that is all is talking about the platforms that go within the statute. it's not talking about all of the things that they have immunity to do. it's just saying that platforms with these functionalities are then in sub part c and then at that point it tells us they're not a publisher because they host other people speech and they're not a publisher even if the content moderate, it does not say that everything that makes them access software provider is immune. i am just a lawyer, i'm trying to read the statute, i am not -- we are not doing direct democracy here and the only other point that i want to make here, there's a lot of policy arguments being made here. all i would suggest is if we think new rules are needed in reading the statute the way it's written does it's work. who is best situated to obtain new rules. the parents of that 13-year-old girls out in the country or the most powerful well-connected, well-funded companies in the entire world. so i guess i would suggest if we ar

i am very interested and strongly hope and believe that there is no limit to human ingenuity and the u.s.-japan alliance can go further ahead. chris: thank you. i love the baseball metaphor. i find myself thinking of o htani shohei, a japanese baseball player who can both hit and pitch. let's talk about where we have been. there have been profound changes in the international system during the time you all have been involved in the relationship from the end of the cold war, collapse of the soviet union, war on terror, conflicts in iraq and afghanistan, great power competition between the united states and china. the war in ukraine of course. when you think about the evolution of this alliance and where we are today, how important do you think structural factors were in driving us? the backdrop of big geopolitical events versus the role of individual leaders and alliance gardeners, to use your infamous phrase, ambassador kato. when you think back, at what moments were leaders and individuals particularly important in bringing us to where we are today? rich, can i start with you? amb. armitage: the policy is people. it's people. i t

chris. and again, it's a very personal decision. but i hope that helps one more question.m josh in los angeles, who asks why not design the helmet with a soft exterior to decelerate the actual impact? to begin with, it's exactly what we were just talking about. josh there's these new caps. guardian caps. you may have seen these. they have sort of this soft exterior and when you think about that, you think, well, how does that really help? well, what you're trying to do is slow the rate at which the brain actually decelerates. so the brain is accelerating. what really causes the problem is the sudden deceleration. so if you have something on the outside of the helmet in this case which can sort of cushion some of that blow, slow down that deceleration, that could help. again, not concussion proof, but it sort of works in the same way that a car, when it gets into an accident crumples. so it slows down the rate of deceleration. and really reduces the force. for example, on the driver. that sort of thing can happen with the brain as well. so i hope that helps answer the quest

chris wray. he hasn't complained about him really since july so, uh, people at the fbi, you know, i think were hoping perhaps that donald trump might back away from his, from his, his his promise or his vow previously that he would fire chris wray. >> um, obviously that is now not it is obviously that he is he is he's decided to follow through on what he what he said he was going to do. um, so there's a couple of things that are now playing out the question is, does chris wray wait to be fired or does he resign before donald trump takes office on january 20th? donald trump doesn't have power to fire him right now. um, and so that's the way this is going to go in the next, you know, few weeks. >> um, and behind the scenes of the fbi you know, certainly i think there's been a there's been a lot of push by people inside the bureau, inside the justice department to urge wray to to stay because, you know, it just can't be normal that donald trump is the only president, really, who just fires fbi directors for not liking what they how they do their job right that's that's how chris wray is in this position

hopes this amounts to a licence to be listened to. the big challenge — turning the script into reality. chris mason, bbc news, at pinewood studios. hit these targets? ben chu's been taking a look. those new "measurable milestones" are to be achieved by 2029, which the pm says voters can use to judge the performance of this labour government. they are growing household incomes, building more houses, delivering more neighbourhood police, improving early years education, decarbonising power and getting hospital waiting times down. of these targets, it's the ones on housing, power and hospitals which most expertsjudge will be the hardest to meet. the pm pledged 1.5 million new homes over the course of the parliament — that's defined as net additional dwellings in england. that 1.5 million would equate to around 300,000 per year. 0nly around 221,000 were delivered in 2023—2024, down on the previous year. it's been decades since this number of new houses was delivered in any year. 0n hospital waiting times, the pm said he will hit the official target that 92% of patients in england waiting for elective treatment should be seen within 1
