charlotte reed is re with the details.rlotte. >> good morning, frances and happy new year. with joe biden has reportedly decided to block the $15 billion takeover of the iconic american steelmaker by nippon steel. now the white house could announce this decision as soon as today. the decision whether to approve or block the deal as referred to president biden in late december by the committee on foreign investment in the u.s. and after they failed to reach consensus. now they had to evaluate whether this takeover represented a national security risk. and it was concern that after the acquisition nippon steel could cut the production capacity of u.s. steel. it was very much a focus during the presidential campaign. it was opposed by the united steelworkers union. and we know president-elect trump was previously opposed to the deal. apple has agreed to pay $95 million in cash to settle a proposed class action lawsuit claiming that siri violated users' privacy. in the case. customers complained that siri recorded their phone

they gave it to the chairman of the committee, senator wicker, and the ranking member, senator reed. but in my discussions with senator reed, it's very plain that the fbi did not interview many people who had been directly identified in other documents that had been made available. they didn't bother to interview them. and that is just outrageous. you saw pete hegseth in the committee hearing today, try to say all these claims were anonymous smears. these are not anonymous smears. the materials that i've read with the allegations about his behavior, each behavior is connected directly to an individual who in many cases, i believe, was not interviewed by the vetters and the individuals named in the documents we've received even include his own mother, who wrote him a an extremely painful and blunt letter when he was undergoing a second divorce, calling him a serial abuser of women. and the facts just line up one after the next, whether it's what his colleagues work colleagues in three organizations have said about him, what he has written or said about women in his own books and writi

, where reed really walked them through. what he learned in that background investigation, at least, what was included and what wasn't. here's what we know so far from that. here's tammy duckworth, a democrat on the committee. >> my understanding is that several of the. uh, witnesses, um, were not interviewed by the fbi, even though they wanted to be. >> and that includes the accuser of his sexual assault accuser. >> i have not seen the fbi report, and they've not made it available to us. >> but who is not interviewed? >> i only know that some of the folks that have the women in his past, women in his life, have wanted to be interviewed, but have not been interviewed by the vetters. >> for a change. now, it's important to keep in mind that pete hegseth can get through without a single democratic vote that includes a single democratic vote on the committee. it's really those key republicans that we're going to have to keep an eye out for to determine whether or not hegseth is going to have the votes to get this job, his perfo

chris reed captured the footage and joins us now live from west hollywood. chris, thank you so much for being with us. i understand you evacuated to a hotel in west hollywood. how are you holding up? >> i'm doing well. was able to check out the place today. i'm lucky that our place is currently still there. and safe. but, you know, only. only time will tell. we just got to keep holding out hope. >> when did you first realize that you had to get out? what was it that that got you moving? >> honestly, i left for work, like 815 that morning. by 1030. my boss came in my office and was like, hey, is your neighborhood okay? and then i looked up and had to rush home because the dog was there and talk to us about that. >> that process when you got there and had to get your dog out. what was that like for you? >> i mean, it was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on pch. i finally was able to get into the vons on pch and sunset, and i just started walking up. um, and yeah, i'm up in the highlands and it's, you know, a three, three and a half mile, four mile walk. and

and you'll notice that at one point, jack reed, who did bring up the issue about work, about pardoning criminals, by the way, that senator reed said, you know, it's pretty unusual not to have a second round of questioning because mark kelly asked for one, and he said that is a breach of protocol. and roger wicker basically said, thank you. noted. and that's it. that's that's all he had to get through. he doesn't come back for another day. chuck hagel went through three rounds. ashton carter went through. two senators are sent. when a senator asks for this. it should get more than a shrug. but i think everybody just understood he's not qualified. he's got a lot of baggage. get through this four hours and then just, you know, ram him through as quickly as possible. now that may not happen. there may be those four republican votes. i'm not as sanguine as some as you were or ryan are. you know, at this point that he's headed for a nomination, but that may just have been his thinking. just get through it and don't answer these questions. >> yeah. listen, there is a there is time. it's going

it's the same copy that hung over walter reed every single day i woke up and fought my way back and i wanted to go back and serve next to my buddies who saved my life, and the words are repeated over and over and over and over again. i read out two things to you. two sentences. i will always place the mission first. and i am disciplined physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior task. mr. hegseth, our troops follow these words every day, and they man up and pack their rucksacks and they go to war and they deserve a leader who can lead them. not a leader who wants to lower the standards for himself while raising the standards for other people. by the way, our troops meet the standards. we ask troops who man the ship, fight the fire, fly the helicopter until their very last breath and they do that every single day. they cannot be led by someone who is not competent to do the job. how can we ask these warriors to train and perform the absolute highest standards when you are asking us to lower the standards to make you the secretary of defense simply because you a
