so rene marsh has been reporting on this, our correspondent. et them fly the plane? >> right. brooke, i spoke with the pilots at the allied pilots association. they are a labor union representing airline pilots, and they told me that boeing failed to warn pilots about a potentially dangerous feature in this new boeing 737, specifically the max 8 and max 9. that there is this flight control system which is supposed to help pilots avoid raising the nose of the plane too much and stalling. what pilots say they didn't know was that this plane system automatically pushes the plane's nose down in the event of a stall, in a very sudden and dramatic way. and the point they're making is that, you know, the plane is safe, but by not communicating all the information about how the plane systems work, that is what creates the danger, brooke. >> glad they're talking about it now. but how incredibly tragic for 189 people and their families. i know we'll hear so much more on this from you, i'm sure, in the coming days and weeks ahead. rene marsh, thank you ver

here now is cnn's rene marsh. >> if you weren't paying attention, this report could change that. frightening and it screams serious action has to be taken now. it is the work of federal agencies and the scientific community. the report makes it clear that we are already experiencing the dangerous effects of climate change. it's only going to get longer. burning six times more forest area per year by the year 2050. more people will be exposed to ticks that carry lime disease. allergy season will be a lot worse. higher temperatures will also kill more people. it specifically looks at the midwest. it is predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperature. according to the report, it will see premature deaths. and the cost, that's going to be a big one. the cost of climate change according to the report could reach hundreds of billions of dollars annually. by midcentury, it says it is very likely that the arctic will be nearly free of sea ice in late summer. this was a congressionally mandated report, released by the trump administration the day after the thanksgiving holid

rene marsh, thank you very much. >>> and then this.oto of a bunch of wisconsin high school students is drawing all kinds of condemnation and possibly an investigation by police. this foetd shows a group of boys appearing to pose, making nazi salute outside of a spring junior prom. ryan young is our cnn national correspondent who has been working on this one for us today. and, ryan, why? >> it's 2018, brooke. it's 2018. this foetd is showing something hard to believe. high school kids posing before high school prom making the nazi gesture. one of the teens in the front row is using his hands to make a nationalist sign. it was taken about 116 miles away from milwaukee. the school superintendent released a statement which reads the school district is investigating this situation and is working with parents, staff, and local authorities. if the gesture is what it appears to be, they'll address all promote actions including legal. after it started circulating on the internet and we started seeing sri see seeing responses from people. as you

. >> with me now, cnn government regulation correspondent, renee marsh. e, obviously, the scientist behind this massive report have come to the opposite conclusion. and they say, if nothing is done, things will worsen witand specifically, the u.s. economy. >> you're absolutely right, and the president's comments just a while ago, extremely jarring considering this is the work in part of many federal agencies that are run by his own political appointees. that aside, getting into the report, the general take awaway, if these dangerous greenhouse gases aren't curbed, global temperatures could increase some 9 degrees. more people will died and 10% of the u.s. economy will take a hit. this report makes it clear that every part of the united states will be affected. there is no region that will be spared. take a look at the east coast. they will experience more frequent heat waves in the gulf of maine, for example, the summer seasons has already lengthened by two days every year since 1982. so more hot days, extends all the way to the south, and they say will tr

rene marsh is there at reagan where i don't see throngs of people or anything too crazy right now, knockw's it going? >> you know what, brooke, we're certainly in a lull. but record travel across the united states. roads are packed, airports are packed. take a look at the images coming out of los angeles. los angeles is notorious for their traffic woes. things are even worse for them now that the holiday is here. that's what's happening on the roads. as far as the air ways go, they are expecting to break records as well. teak take a look at this board here. they say this is like the super bowl for them. this is not something you see very often. you see all the red on the board there, brooke? those are not delays, those are actually flights that are all leaving early, before their scheduled times. so, yeah, you're right. >> oh, wow! >> exactly. when do you see that? so things are really going good. no significant delays or cancellations happening throughout the country. we know that the airlines are well prepared. they've added flights, they're using larger aircraft to accommodate the lar

renee marsh, cnn, washington. >> thank you. >>> the president just this week open lead mocked the idea of climate change as americans faced the coldest thanksgiving in nearly a century. >> the scientists behind the study didn't just look at climate shifts over one day or one year. allison chinchar joins us. they looked at the long-term trends? >> yes, and they broke it down by region. that was the point of this report was to explain the impacts to the united states. and furthermore, breaking it down by region so people could understand how it is going to impact me and where i live. so take, for example, out to the west. they really took a look at the impacts from wildfires. you know, california, for example, typically used today a wildfire season. that really doesn't exist anymore. they can now get fires pretty much any month out of the areas. for areas of the southern united states, you're going to notice more extreme weather events, hurricanes, tornadoes, or flooding events will be on the increase and become more frequent. one thing to note is that every single region is expected to

. >> cnn's renee marsh looks at the impact laid out in this government report. >> reporter: if you weren't paying attention to the climate change issue, this report could change that. it is frightening, and it screams serious action has to be taken now. the work of federal agencies and the scientific community. the report makes it clear that we are already experiencing the dangerous effects of climate change. it states that wildfire season is long now but will only get longer, burning six times more forest area per year by the year 2050. more people will be exposed to ticks that carry lyme disease and mosquitoes that transmit viruses such as zika, west nile, and dengue. allergy season will be a lot worse. higher temperatures will kill more people. it specifically looks at the midwest. the midwest is predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperatu temperature, seeing an additional 2,000 premature deaths by the year 2090, per year. and the cost is a big one. the cost of clarchimate change according to the report could reach hundreds of billions of dollars annually. by mid century

cnn's rene marsh.his agency is run by appointees of this president and why the even they could not deny the hard and worrisome scientific data. >> if you weren't paying attention to this climate change issue, once you read this report, it could change that. it is frightening to read what scientists say in this report if action isn't taken. they say wildfire season, for example, which is already a long one, would burn six times more forest area by the year 2050. more people would be exposed to ticks that carry lyme disease and zika, west nile virus. higher temperatures would kill more people. the report specifically talks about the midwest, where it's predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperature. they would see an additional 2,000 more premature deaths year by year by the year 2009. and then the economy. it would take a major hit. this report is predicting that 10% of the u.s. economy would simply disappear. we're talking about a decline in crops, our public infrastructure would be dest

rene marsh, our government relations correspondent, has been going over the report. , what's actually in this report and how badly could global warming hurt the u.s. economy? it sounds very serious. >> well, the report does. it paints a deadly picture for people living in the united states. and it's a major blow to the economy. if if climate change is not brought under control. some context is a congressionally mandated report is put out by the trump administration, led by a president who continues to cast doubt on whether climate change is a real thing or not. and this report directly contradicts where the president stands on this issue of climate change. it's frightening. the highlights from the report include higher temperatures will kill more people. specifically in the midwest, it's predicted that they will have the largest increase in rising temperatures. additional 2,000 people could die per year, prematurely by the year 2090. 10% of the u.s. economy could disappear because of damage to infrastructure. our crops. things of that sort. six times more forest area

let me bring in rene marsh. what are the damage reports coming in from the airport?airlines at this point, they are still doing those damage assessments. but we do know that the airport is now down to operating from one runway. so all flights are going out of one runway. but i want you to listen to the moment when this earthquake struck and just listen to how air traffic controllers scrambled to make sure that pilots were safe and that they did not land at the airport. take a listen. >> turn around! >> is that for fedex? >> yeah, go around. >> going around, 49. >> there was a earthquake here. >> aircraft, we're evacuating. a quake. everybody stand by. >> so that was at the height of all of this. and now you're looking at images inside of the airport as passengers were experiencing this earthquake at the height of this. we know that all operations at ted stevens airport, the international airport there in anchorage, came to a complete halt. that air traffic control tower we heard those controllers, they were evacuated. we know flights that were in the air and bound fo

let's go straight to rene marsh, our aviation correspondent. rene, what did they find? mentioned, these are new details today. it was a boeing 737 that was headed from new york to dallas when that engine failed. the new information includes details about how the plane as it climbed to 32,000 feet, the pilots heard this loud bang and they felt an extreme vibration. alarms were sounding in the cockpit. the veteran pilots struggled with equipment issues that prevented them for some time from communicating with flight attendants, air traffic controllers and firefighters, as well as each other, all while they were recovering from this steep turn and figuring out where to land. and then this account based on ntsb interviews with the flight crews as well as passengers, a passenger in seat 14a was still restrained by her seat belt, by her lap beth, however, the passenger's upper torso, arms and head had been pulled outside of the airplane through a window. that is the account of people who were on board the plane. two flight attendants and two male passengers pulled that passen

rene marsh, what are some of the highlights or low lights as it were?reporter: i can't stress this enough. if you want paying attention to this issue of climate change before, when you read the details of this report, it may really change that. this is a congressionally mandated report. the trump administration put it out an hour ago. it screams that serious action needs to be taken as it relates to climate change and taken soon. wildfire season they say is long right now but it will get even longer burning six times more forest area per year by the year 2050. more people will be exposed to ticks that carry lyme disease and mosquitos that transmit viruses like the zika virus and dengue fever. higher temperatures they say will kill more people. they zero in on the midwest, which is predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperature alone. they say 2,000 more people will die premature deaths by the year 2009 in the midwest. the cost of climate chang wie w be a blow to the economy. it says it could cost hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

cnn's rene marsh has the story. >> he's supposed to be protecting these victims and he was protectingtein, a pedophile. >> reporter: according to an investigation by miami herald jeffrey epstein got a sweetheart deal thanks to president trump's labor secretary, alex acosta. the paper found that as a u.s. attorney in florida in 2007 acosta and another federal prosecutor struck a plea deal with epstein's legal team just as the fbi was investigating years of alleged sex crimes. the herald reports epstein's accusations include at least 36 underage victims, a stream of girls in and out of his sprawling palm beach mansion, and allegations he paid teens to recruit more young victims. michael is a private investigator for the legal team representing some of the victims. >> i read the indictment. there was multiple allegations of sex trafficking, trafficking girls across lines, using his airplane to traffic girls, witness intimidation and then all of a sudden it disappeared. >> reporter: according to the miami herald the agreement allowed the defense to dictate the terms, shutdown the fbi inve

rene marsh, this report mentions a more ominous outlook. what's in the report?er: the report came out 30 minutes ago. it's a government report that focuses squarely on the human impact of climate change, and it peels out real life examples of how climate change is already impacting our health, the economic cost and the infrastructure. i'm going to pull out sop of me the highlights. one of the stunning highlights that we're seeing out west, they're saying if it's not brought under control wildfires will burn up to six times more forest area per year by 2050. and they say more people will be exposed to ticks that carry lyme disease, zika and dengue fever. and when it comes to our health, the impact the climate change will have on our health, it says the higher temperatures will also kill more people. they predict that the midwest will have the highest temperature rise, and in the mid we west, they could see an additional more premature deaths. it said throughout the century we could see annual losses in some sectors that billions of b end of the century. news. it

cnn government relations correspondent renee marsh is working that story for us. report shows that government scientists are directly contradicting the president on something he has said over and over again, that climate change is a hoax. it doesn't sound like a hoax. >> absolutely not. in fact, the report paints a deadly picture for people in the united states. it also predicts a major economic blow for the united states. just some context here, this report released by the trump administration, an administration led by a president who continues to cast doubt on whether climate change is really a thing. clearly this report contradicting everything that the president has to say when it comes to climate change. some of the more frightening highlights in this report, higher temperatures will kill more people, specifically in the midwest, 2,000 more people could die prematurely each year. 10% of the u.s. economy could disappear, so that would be a very large economic blow to the united states. six times more forest area will burn during the wildfire season. the u.s. f
