we've got sun rise there over the indian ocean.his is going to look different from any of the re-entries we've had before and it was specifically so, we got as much daylight as possible to see how the ship does this. over to you, jessie, sorry about that. jessie: great minds think alike. that's exactly what i was going to point out. we're getting a lot clearer view of the earth in the background with the different temperatures we're seeing with the different colors of that plasma around the ship which is really, really cool to see. again, we are pushing the limits of the ship today but so far everything is looking pretty nominal. we'll see how the next few minutes goes. kate: like we said before, don't be surprised if this is not entirely smooth sailing all the way down to the ocean surface. similar to flight 5. we are targeting the same splashdown location in the indian ocean but not expecting to recover the vehicle. jessie: and we were getting glimpses of the flaps. the flaps so far were looking pretty good and not seeing any bur

the flap down in the indian ocean.wesome camera action here. >> c-span's washington journal, our live forum, involving you discussing the latest issues in government, politics and public policy, from washington and across the country. coming up wednesday morning, republican congresswoman harriet hugman of wyoming, a member of the resources committees discusses the trump administration agenda as house republican priorities. and then glenn ivy talks about the ethics committee investigation into former congressman matt gaetz and the incoming administration's plans. and "wall street journal" reporter gives us insight on what president-elect trump's term could mean for u.s. defense and national security policy. join in the conversation live at 7:00 eastern wednesday morning on c-span, c-span now or online at c-span.org. >> the house will be in order. >> this year c-span celebrates 45 years of covering congress like no other. since 1979, we've been your primary source for capitol hill, providing balanced, unfiltered coverage

it is about an hour or so after sunrise there in the indian ocean. so, pretty cool to see this. >> yeah, and it might not seem like it makes a huge difference, but we do get a little more light on ship as well for the camera views that we have. which is beneficial for us to visibly see anything and try and correlate that to any of the sensors or data that we have on the vehicle. >> exactly. that's why we shifted our launch window so that we could have the daylight in order to improve our observations of the vehicle. so not only are we getting the raw data from all the sensors that are on board starship, but we also have multiple cameras and assets out there that are watching the vehicle and we'll also be able to tell us with this visual story that is also very, very important. >> and as we get down a little bit lower, the raptor engines are in their chill phase right now, so, just essentially getting them primed to turn on, we're going to use-- so those three center engines to do a landing flip and then a landing burn. so we'll come down kind of in t

what you see on your screen is the ship currently making its way towards the indian ocean. still looking good so far. >> exactly. views there of the booster on the left-hand side of your screen. views of the ship on the right-hand side of your screen. we said before that it was not guaranteed that we would be able to make a tower catch today. while we were hoping for it, it was pretty epic on attempt one, the safety of the teams and the public and the pad itself are paramount. we are accepting no compromises in any of those areas. >> exactly. we are still going to get a lot of good flight data with booster even. especially with ships. we have an additional objective to do a relight of a rafter engine which will help us set us up for being able to do orbit burns. which is important for orbital flights. what you are seeing is if you -- is a view from super heavy as it's making its way back down to earth. >> we are attempting an offshore landing of the super heavy booster. so we have seen this before. it is still very functional, watching it come down for a soft splashdown off

launch was to boost the starship after the -- out of the lower atmosphere for reentry over the indian ocean. donald trump and elon musk were nearby to watch the lift off take place. >> flight directories go for launch. >> we have lift off. [crowd cheering] >> downrange. >> pressure nominal. >> avionics power and telemetry nominal. >> a little over a minute. we are about six miles away. all the sound still sitting is here. power and telemetry nominal. flying straight and true. we see all 33 raptor engines lit up on the screen. at this point, we have passed through that point at maximum aerodynamic pressure. now coming up in just a little over a minute from now, it will be hot featuring. we will see the six engines on the ship ignite while still attached. then we will see all but three center inches on the booster shut down. most engines cut off. so while we continue to watch it go up around, a lot of our flight controllers looking at the systems around the tower. we have to send a manual command. about 30 seconds away from hot staging. and we heard the tower is gopher catch. the return flag

this is a starship literally going through the clouds over the indian ocean. you can hear i believe, applause from spacex headquarters in hawthorne, california. and you can see, see those little flaps right there that are wiggling up and down? they did not survive previous test flights. and they were given memes. the little flap that could you could see the plasma engulfing it the the fact that it survived this test flight so far and that the cameras are still here the applause coming from the headquarters over there. >> yeah, they're obviously very happy. >> very happy. >> what are the risk factors? christian that spacex is trying to mitigate right now? we're finally seeing the ocean right now as it's beginning to go down. >> i mean, look at that that is a picture perfect on target landing splashdown by spacex's starship spacecraft look at that. um you know, we haven't been able to see this before or get this kind of footage because as i said the previous test flights have been done at night time. but this is exactly this is better than what spacex had hoped

but you are seeing the ship making its way towards the indian ocean and looking good so far. >> the booster on your screen. as we said before it was not guaranteed we would be able to make a tower catch today. so while we were hoping for it, it is epic on attempt one, but the safety of the teams and the public and the pad itself are paramount. so no proposal compromisees in any of those areas. >> we are go to go get a lot of flight data and we have an additional objective to do an relight of raptor engine which will set us up to do deorbit, which is important for orbital flights. and you are seeing it coming back down to earth. >> we are attempting offshore landing of the booster. we have seen this before and it is still very fun to watch and watching for a splash down off the gulf coast of texas. we saw earlier, there are four -- [chop] -- [cheers and applause] >> coming down to three as we expected. and what an incredible view of splash down we got today. >> i'm sure the views will be pretty awesome and would like to confirm a landing for the super heavy booster, congratulations to the sp

we'll forego booster catch today what you're seeing on your screen is ship making its way to the indian ocean looking good so far. >> exactly. some views there of the booster on the left-hand side of your screen, the views of the ship on the right-hand side of the screen. we've said before it was not guaranteed that we would be able to make a tower catch today, so, while we were hoping for it like we said, it was epic on attempt one, but the safety of the team, and the public and the pad itself are paramount. so, we are accepting no compromises in any of those areas. >> exactly. we're still going to get a lot of good flight data with booster even, but especially with ship and an objective today to do an inspace relight of a raptor engine, which again, will help set us up for being able to do deorbit burns, which is important for orbital flights and what you're seeing on the screen is a view from super heavy as it's making its way down to earth. >> once again, we're attendant attempting an off shore landing of super heavy booster. it's fun to watch watching it come down for a soft splash down

to like this and think the deal could provide an opening for china in an important area of the indian oceanwhat is it about. let's look at this map. in the right hand corner, no, in the middle, we can see the chagos area and 1,300 miles away is mauritius. the uk say they have to do it because of a ruling from the international court of justice. critics say that is only advisory. let's look at another map, this is the big bit. on the western coast is diego garcia. under the deal, the uk has negotiated a 99—year lease to allow it to continue to have that as allow it to continue to have that as a massive us military base. this some history there. the uk took control of the chagos islands in 1814. it was administered from the uk colony of mauritius until 1965. at that point the uk created the british/indian overseas territory that covered the area and in 1968 mauritius minus that became independent from the uk. pm? mauritius minus that became independent from the uk. any more on that? or is that — independent from the uk. any more on that? or is that that _ independent from the uk. any more on

um, and then of course, how how much can this starship land or splash down on target in the indian ocean? one of the reasons that we're seeing an afternoon launch from boca chica down in texas, right on the border with mexico, is because spacex wanted to be able to see starship as it returned to earth. all the other return to earth have been at night, so this time they're going to be able to actually get some cameras in daylight on starship. and we're also going to see starship returning at a much to push starship to its limit, so we'll see if it survives. >> let's bring back cnn anchor kaitlan collins. caitlin, as much as this was about space exploration, obviously there's a political dimension to it as well. with president elect trump there, with elon musk yeah, jake, i mean, what you're watching is kind of an unparalleled relationship between donald trump and elon musk, two people who were not always closest of allies. >> i mean, you know, musk was once skeptical of the age that trump would be had he won a second term. but obviously that changed we saw him him come on board, spend so

are you go to the indian ocean on the canyon farther? and we still know that you have told us the remains are major outposts for the united states of america, which is controlled lively from germany under the aspect of them. you then know that this idea o c, as of control, is still something that is very important to a countries such as the united states of america. of course egypt involvement in africa is one that is only is debatable. sometimes we say the i in but many times they are not in because the relationship is differently defined. but in the not shall we say that we as the continent of africa, i still been in many ways controlled by a major fire and firewall. and it is not going to be easy in the short to medium done to liberate ourselves from the clutches. because the reality is that our military is in the prison constitution. and in the present was view, are still being controlled from that particular every now which in itself is something that is very critical to examine in terms of wrong, some security. because if you've be

travelled halfway around the earth before re—entering the atmosphere and splashing down in the indian oceancentral to elon musk�*s ambition of sending humans to mars. just before we 90, humans to mars. just before we go, take a look at this. jaguar has unveiled an ultramodern rebrand as it gears up to unveil an all electric vehicle line—up in 2026. the relaunch is already drawing some criticism with the internet saying it's pretty confused. for starters, there is one key missing element, cars. for starters, there

and finally, the spacecraft will do a reentry and a daylight touchdown in the indian ocean to test itssystems. >> just to point out to folks watching this from home, there will not be people on board the flight. there is about a 30 minute window of the company has to launch the starship from what this private facility is called near brownsville, texas. it looks like they have good weather. what else has to happen in that window for all the magic to happen? >> they are looking to make sure there are no vessels or aircraft in the launch area. the potential blast zone has to be cleared of cleared of civilian traffic before they can get the clearance to launch. the weather looks great. the temperature is about 85. if they can get the systems on the rocket checked out, we will see the test flight. it will be a spectacular take off with capturing the launch imagery and a crucial test is the orbital real light of the engines. musk and space six have been successful recapturing the starship and the booster and they will try to catch it again and the reuse of the first stage is key to flying th

i mean, he gave me the indian ocean city uninstalled, the official rice flow dated. and we have the landing for really a demo that will mean that janice will delete the audio the just, i don't know if we see out of me in green out. i mean, they go now by fish relay the message i lead designs, the get the, just the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the suggest? so we to 20 from a new wave of these waves, flags on lab, and on, on thousands more wounded videos. the 9 folding of residential areas from the capital. of course, pull the reports from the ruins off to one of the know the night to another day of tara have indeed liberties capital at around 4 am on saturday morning. log floss would have heard across the fits. you can see behind me the homes of all the rushes, i'm posit

in the indian ocean region. and for that reason, it was that this would be called ration in all the areas in google only in the matter of time it is. and that is the basis of the sending up a score which a box with united states and yeah, includes japan and australia. i'll be honest with you. a chinese expansionism is a source of body to number of countries in asia. and in the course, has been a very serious reason to be concerned about the china, this j. u, the expansionism, across our land from diaz and no china is interpreting it with it's a single. but as part of the 6, the groups did the containment of china, and the prevention of chinese expansion is up. and that is precisely what the us also want to in that context did in aruba cooperation more what donald trump has been christian, good all the on the learn to obviously do minority in bundling. they often the out of the, of the government of ga casino and you know that the landlord use of being subjected to a lot of in humane sleep. but to thought you and

the seaweed is sourced from the indian ocean. and the production process is only done by the mom of, of funds the but one tv does not have truly to support like other planting america . my, they, me and gave me one. so 1st, we use a rope to enter the see, read in the water, to not full. then we use the traditional line method to find me walk. you need one, you know, in that is done. we use fix to plot them by tying them firmly into what time do you mind example the less than we leave them for 2 months after which they are ready for how to help with no watch i'm processing is nearly enough money in mistake, even it is useful for teaching diabetes and high blood pressure, especially for expect on mothers and small children as well. most seaweed farmers around nancy box has resorted to unsustainable funding practices, such as putting one groove trees for seaweed steaks and caring sea grass beds to expand seaweed palms suit us to increase the view and income. the mom of those fancy ball however, are quite different. photo summarizing

you are the leaves name slowly that the a little the you see, see, i mean, he gave me the indian ocean, sits on the fish of ice flow that i may have running fully a shambles down in dodge. and this will delete all of your the chest. i don't know if we see, i mean green out. i mean, they go now by fish relay the message. i lead designs the get the which is the this is gathering of the g 20 reflected strikingly different world views, the west and drone don, about a 2 queen proxy war and the rest of the global south focused on international stability. and he cannot make prospect the law. so if you have any questions, please do it for you. it was somebody else doing the the push the limits. i do a bit of, i'm listening with when somebody with the the, the news the clear pretty much it is necessary to establish serial production of these mississauga. and we have taken the decision to organize and carry out the cereal production of the system for given the particular strength and power of this weapon may put into service with a strategic there's a lot of parents and kind of 5 and the rushes

for example, in the indian ocean add over the water, but possibly want to watch on the same. and that's the change of season is really to change the wind direction is more of a noise when it comes to half the ne month soon it's cold. so high temperatures are in the low single figure. so the most pop, but often that is just sunday, that's more or less the case now, one of the shows on the coast of home ship, but what's forming in china, or is significant rain running out through the yangtze again and snow where it's cold enough, buried will probably give some sleep envisioning. it's moving east towards the cream coming to light. give soul some wet weather in a big drop in temperature in a couple of days in india or it looks very drawing next time on the other. in general, the rainbow were to the time being is just taking a height across to select the next couple days are going to be very right. i think for us, for like everyone else is quite coating down a little bit. if you some close, persistent, be funky in dolton, india, albatross in good pop of pakistan as well. and the f

. >> splashdown in the indian ocean. >> reporter: the booster is only built for an emergency water landing. this is what it was supposed to do. that incredible catch back in boca chica just a month ago. and david, elon hopes to send starship to mars without passengers by 2026. of course, they're going to have to keep testing this before they put any people onboard to make sure it's safe. david? >> david: gio benitez watching that test flight for us. gio, thank you. >>> president-elect trump there with elon musk amid the political firestorm involving trump's pick for attorney general, matt gaetz. also tonight, the news the president-elect has big plans for dr. oz to join in a midge role in the administration, too. well, tonight elon musk sending out a message saying he supports gaetz, and what he said about him. there is also new reporting here, what's in that house ethics report? and were documents hacked in a civil case that included testimony from a 17-year-old that gaetz is accused of having sex with? gaetz denies any wrongdoing. and late today, that pick from president-elect trump, dr.

ocean about 5 months before yvonne effects such as were easily of all shapes of vessels in the indian ocean with the assistance of mold in 2000 miles. uh the for this issue, i think it's a kind of waiting whether we need or we don't meet because now i think the american weapons and the american um, not efficient preparing the russian all the time. you all the alignment with those impact perspective for it might view the much of us using your weapon of whether a via you want or by our side. it's just 25 because the hot or tennessee or tentative. 7 more impressive than the or going to be getting a replica. my coupon. yeah. end, date, end date. michael, if i made sudden to you, you know that it and puts in a said a ross is nuclear also is inside a guarantor for his national security. do you think he was rights is of strengthening his nuclear dump through in that or was it unnecessary? no, i it is a strength. it is a deterrent. and a country as large as russia, with nuclear weapons, and with the conventional forces that it has is quite for middle. that's why you're not seeing the united states

into the south west of australia, wherever you have low pressure here, drawing moisture from the indian ocean down across a good positive w y. and that's producing some lobby showers, then into southern parts of the state type of tools. the use of the country again some rather wet weather in between we have an ice ridge of high pressure and that's keeping it settled fine and sunny and increasingly warm. 29 south just ever had like 20 degrees that in melvin. is that what the weather ends? queensland is that what's the weather? it's a good part of the w. i must push forward to die. it stays a cloud of rain, makes its way across the board. just pushing a little further, raced with still some big down. pulls that just around that eastern side of ways that could cause some flash flooding like an attempt to chase $34.00 and i'd like to so that you won the full melvin. so i still plenty of heat into that southeastern corner. what's us do for i latest we go on into friday. meanwhile, news and it will say some bits and pieces of cloud and right, but it's turning dry and bright to as we make away into

across the south west here area of low pressure just bringing some very humid air in from the indian ocean. some big and sundry down poles coming for your hair in another system also brings them went by the to the east coast in between high pressure being charged. so here it is generally try. i'm pretty warm as well. we can close to us so that the degree mocking at a light on why the stay above 30 degrees in melvin. by the time we come to 1st i have you showers, continue around the east coast of this stage. i'm pushing by them. how it's reported. look at actual information on the ground, look at the way that this issue is framed and the media. how is used to justify the escalations to escalation, anything easier said hardy knows immediately that it's how it is weaponized is this online course has been aimed at the smartphone generation. the 1st ever female let this operational, thank you. like what they are trying to sell right now is a full blown genocide. the listening pace because the media on al jazeera, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the watching out. as a reminder on top stories this, our,

in the indian ocean, madam president, as you well know.e of the most important parts of the world. here's china. here's india. china's trying to dominate all of these sea lanes for military reasons and for commercial rea reasons. here in the middle of indian ocean is a group. you may not have heard of them. i haven't before i was alerted to this crisis. america has a military base in the sagos islands, they're about 40 to 60 islands. one of the islands is called diego garcia, and we built a military base here and it is not just any military base. it is an extraordinarily important military base. our military base is one of the few in the world where our military can reload submarines. hugely important. our military base on diego garcia in the chagos islands houses a number of navy ships. our military base there houses long-range bombers that we use to carry out missions around the world. now, we have to -- we in the -- and the united kingdom, i will explain why the u.k. is involved in a moment. we have to work every day to police our milit

i was in the indian ocean in 1980 during the iranian hostage crisis.or the entire time i was there, i felt like we were part of the crisis in iran. i'm so glad it was resolved. my grandfather served in world war i, my dad served in world war ii. we have so many stories that we could share of hero is him -- heroism and sacrifice. this is a day to do that. host: what is one of those family stories you always share? caller: one story as my grandfather. he served in world war i, he was a sergeant in charge of all of the music. he knew don phillips personally. our one-story was during a break in the fighting -- sorry if i get emotional about this. he heard a cry from no man's land, help me, i'm hurt. he knew it was one of our guys. my grandfather was a member of the red cross. he said i'm going to go get him. who is with me? those guys got the gurney and reached the man. even though my grandfather had a red cross band on, he was still shot at. he got hit in the leg twice and in the arm. he said basically to hell with the pain, i'm getting this guide to safe

facility and it reached space and traveled halfway around the earth before then splashing down in the indian oceand trump family members joined the president-elect to watch the launch, including donald trump jr., trump's newly announced pick for education secretary linda mcmahon and ted cruz of texas. joining us is adam of politico. good to see you. this is quite the budding bromance between trump and musk. some advisers have grown worried about his, you know, influence on the president-elect and, frankly, surprised that trump is willing to share the spotlight, at least for now, with him. what is the latest you've heard in terms of this relationship and just how much clout does musk really wield during this transition? >> it really is kind of an incredible relationship. one, just kind of how fast this has developed. musk being at trump's side literally since the election every single day down at mar-a-lago and, obviously, now traveling with him. it's a rare occurrence mainly because, to your point, trump doesn't normally like to share the spotlight specifically with someone who is so outspoken and

it was the day after christmas in 2004, when the indian ocean tsunami rocked 14 countries and claimed more than 220,000 lives. the video, still heart stopping two decades later as people saw that wall of water approach with nowhere to go and nothing to do. now, national geographic is giving viewers a first ever look at exactly what happened that day and the days following from those who survived this natural disaster. >> i remember the feeling of the wave passing on my face. it's like immense force. >> and then once i resurfaced, i screamed out for my mom and dad and just heard nothing. >> everybody lost somebody. >> nearly a quarter of a million people left this planet in one day. but i saw hundreds of acts of heroism. >> hard to watch. you can watch tsunami race against time. a new series beginning this sunday on nat geo, owned by the same parent company as abc seven. gosh, this is really a flashback in time because i remember the magnitude. but when you see it and replay t and through those interviews, it gives me chills. >> we all have vivid memories of it. it's just so tragic, yo

that's why i've spent so much time getting the situation in the south pacific, as well as the indian oceancombination of japan, australia, india, i mean, moving in the right direction, grace of god. one last question. >> mr. president, many americans are worried about this holiday season. what is your message to them? >> my message is to just remember who we are. you all have a very tough job, and i am not being solicitous, really tough job. think about it. i remember a couple weeks ago that survey done, how do people feel about where they are, 62%, 35% but they were doing pretty well, the direction of the country. 35%, only 35% moving in the right direction. i think there is an explanation for that. i'm not criticizing the press, you know me too well, is you turn on the television, you don't see a lot of good news. even stuff that good news doesn't seem to sell very well. and so you turn on the tv, everything looks bad. and now you have, an exceedingly small number of people watching mainstream television, and reading the newspapers. i forget the number, you would know better than i would

where we struggled before on information or intelligence sharing or on the maritime domain in the indian ocean or on defense cooperation or much more support for their technology ambitions, in each of these areas, we have been able to take substantial steps and i want to underscore, we are determined to turn over the totality of that relationship, the flourishing u.s.-india relationship to a new administration so they can take it to ever higher goals and objectives. >> thank you both. we have some time for questions from the audience. we have mics and come up to the mic and ask your question. introduce yourself. one here. and one here. you need to walk up to the mic. please introduce yourself and please ask a question, no speeches. >> i'm a representative in washington. i want to thank you for operational-wise for the strategy kept concept. and important role to play. and with some early success in the south pacific in light of the backdrop of the u.s.-china competition and technology competition. i want to know that you think this paradigm shift will continue to stay on? >> i would say one of

it was the day after christmas in 2004, when the indian ocean tsunami rocked 14 different countries andtill heart stopping two decades later as people saw that wall of water approach with nowhere to go and nothing to do. now, national geographic is giving viewers a first ever look at exactly what happened that day and the days following. hear firsthand from survivors. >> i remember the feeling of the wave passing on my face. it's like immense force. >> and then once i resurfaced, i screamed out for my mom and dad and just heard nothing. >> everybody lost somebody. >> nearly a quarter million people left this planet in one day. but i saw hundreds of acts of heroism. >> you can watch tsunami race against time, a new series starting today on nat geo, owned by the same parent company as abc seven. former wheel of fortune and love connection television game show host chuck woolery has died. woolery was the original host of wheel of fortune when the show was created back in 1975. he hosted wheel until pat sajak took over in 1981. woolery's, co-host of the blunt force truth podcast, mark young

it was the day after christmas in 2004, when the indian ocean tsunami rocked 14 countries and claimed heart stopping two decades later, as people saw that wall of water approach with nowhere to go and nothing to do. now, national geographic is giving viewers a first ever look at exactly what happened that day and the days following. >> i remember the feeling of the wave passing on my face. it was like immense force. >> and then once i resurfaced, i screamed out for my mom and dad and just heard nothing. >> everybody lost somebody. >> nearly a quarter of a million people left this planet in one day. but i saw hundreds of acts of heroism. >> you can watch tsunami race against time, a new series starting today on nat geo, owned by the same parent company as abc seven. still to come. this morning, we're hearing from the man in the middle of the controversy at the san mateo county sheriff's office. what he has to say in an interview, you'll see only on seven. and we'll take you outside for a live look at this beautiful sunrise from our roof camera. i'm the only one that's not smiling. even
