>> reporter: christine, at the pentag pentagon, a sense of things staying put for now. o significant changes to policies or authorities or missions. the fight against isis continues. the mission in afghanistan continues. no major shakeup. the sense is secretary mattis is taking his time to assess the situation to meet with commanders to talk to key allies and make his own assessment before any real changes are coming. as you know, president trump is due to visit the pentagon today and talk about the isis fight. there could be movement in that direction in the coming weeks and days. there hasn't been any direct orders for changes. that being said, there were some leaked executive orders that had policies that would have impacted the pentagon. one talking about bringing back waterboarding potentially and other techniques that are legally considered torture. one talking about the department of defense setting up safe zones for refugees in syria. those were not shared with the defense department according to offici official we spoke to. this could be an area of contention do

for all intents and purposes, he runs the bifs the pentagon on a day-to-day basis. e secretary of defense is the policy guy. he's the boss and everything -- he's responsible for everything that happens or fails to happen, but in in case, the deputy secretary of defense, he is extremely important. i wouldn't be surprised if the deputy secretary of defense was asked to stay for at least a whi while. in addition, the president has a lot number of appointments at the assistant level. because the president doesn't have any experience at all in this environment, i and lots of other people expect most if not all of those choices, the assistant secretary and deputy assistant secretary -- >> colonel jack -- >> -- those choices will be made by general mattis. >> excuse me for interrupting. we see ivanka trump and jared kushner with her, her husband. i think i make out the other children of donald trump as well, eric and don jr. i can't tell from my vantage point if they're all there. but we're awaiting the president-elect. here now the stands are filling. as colonel jack was s

the team. it's a pentagon's intelligence. the focus on the national security structure of every nation in the world. the way we became engaged with this case was a woman who led part of the fbi investigation took initiative and they explained you and your team are the best there are on human intelligence and we are part of a spy case that involved cuba which was dragging on for three years and we are frustrated. you can help us? i was so concerned about the damage they could have inflicted and we will continue to have lived it. i called scott carmichael who was head of the investigation. >> i love being a spy hunter. i love the chase. nothing would make me happier than for somebody to say well, scott, we know that's not occurring. we have the few tidbits of information, can you help us out. you bet. unknown subject investigations. those are investigations where you have good reason to believe that espionage is occurring. you have absolutely no idea who might be doing it. fbi was trying to identify a cuban spy who was in the d.

the pentagon is the federal agency that has not passed an audit yet.ally don't know where all of of our money is spent by the pentagon. and it is frankly difficult to know what to cut. >> melissa: you can't even tell how many contractors and personnel and outside people that are not directly employed and you can't tell how many are working for the department of defense at one time? is that true? >> they have a difficult time getting their hands around that. they had a study in the pentagon and reported in many new's outlets that the pentagon was wasting 125 billion on overhead. there are plenty of places to cut funds for the pentagon but we need to know where. >> melissa: at the same time they are going to museum to get parts for airplanes because they don't have them any longer and places where we need the stuff and other places where we are wasting money. how do they coexist. >> pulling the parts off of the museum pieces is the consequence of the f35. the marine corps was expecting to have it in 2010, but we are in 2016 and still don't have the f- 35

leaving now the pentagon with his vice president, mike pence. harwood is there at the white house. john, these were two of the three likely executive orders we were told about this morning, and we had -- it also comes on a day which has already gone back and forth with lockheed martin over the costs of their various programs. lockheed martin had put out a report saying they look to welcome secretary mattis's appropriate focus on affordability and capability. another busy day to close out the week, john. >> reporter: no question. we're going to have to wait and see how this military readiness review proceeds. what gets translated into the budget proposal that we'll get from the administration later this year. i think the biggest flashpoint here is going to be the vetting executive order that he signed which suspects the -- indefinitely the admission of immigrants or -- excuse me, refugees from syria, the syrian civil war. major flashpoint in the campaign. he criticized the obama administration for accepting refugees and for hillary clinton saying

we have been sort of going on what the pentagon goes on momentum. i think if we took a good, hard look along the lines i think we could get significantly different answers. >> and there is one down here in the front. if you could give us your name and also affiliation that would be great. >> yes. just last week i was sitting at the u.s. council and we were talking about the expo then shl changes and what implications it had for the work force. what thoughts have you all given to whether it be the industrial work force that's having to make these things or the military work force in terms of being able to stay abreast of it? >> the military establishment has a pretty good track record of training people at all levels to keep up with changes in technology. the civil sector has done less well and about programs and other kind of training. we probably need to do something differently than we have done in the past in order to keep up with it. the changes is much more rapid, but i believe also the ability to train people is much improved if we take advanta

closed at mount vernon square, smithsonian, the archives and the pentagon. those stations are closed for the inauguration festivities. we are also hearing that the yellow line will only run between huntington and gallery place. you want to stick with a green belt bound train peered that is on the yellow line. only between huntington and gallery place. memorial bridge is closed only two pedestrian traffic. you've got to turn toward the rock creek parkway. peered that is scheduled to close off at 6:00 a.m. roads and the rail. >> a busy inauguration day i had for donald trump even before his swearing-in ceremony. the president-elect will attend a prayer breakfast at trump international hotel. at 830, a special service at st. from there, obama will welcome the trumps to a reception at the white house and the four of them will make their way together to capitol hill where the inauguration ceremony will begin . >> some are excited. others are taking to the streets to protest his presidency. >> 1 chapter of history closes today as a new one open for the donald trump

trump has a lot of sources with general flynn and general kelly from the pentagon and inside the bureaucracy that are feeding information that are saying do not believe this. this is a false flag operation. and so i think that trump gets it and that the white house narrative is in the wrong direction. melissa: although, i mean, the details who exactly is behind this seems to sort of take the focus away from what is the

good morning, alex. >> we're in the north part of the pentagon. the busses are loaded up with member it's of our maryland who will be heading down to pennsylvania avenue to do this run-through of what's going to be happening come inauguration day, now, these members of our military are participating in various ways. some marching in the parade. some are in the going to be playing, in the color guards, others participating in security measures. we talked to some military members this morning about what has gone no this months of preparation. >> there's been a lot of preparation, a lot of administrative work and paperwork, checks rechecks, and everybody still crossing their. s, admitting their i's. >> reporter: if you want to get a glimpse of the excitement for the dress rehearsal, it's going to be happening along pennsylvania avenue all morning until about noon or 1:00 p.m. come inauguration day, it might be a little tougher, as you know there's going to be a ton of street closures and securities and traffic. some of these members of our military wi

the leadership of the pentagon is not in favor of them. ss what, they are never in favor of any change and i have an old saying that i have used over the years, hey, folks, the pentagon is not always right. i'm glad we have the congressional oversight. the congress needs to reform as well. if somebody mentioned, they haven't passed all 12 proarmings bills by the first of october, that's not a good thing. >> i congratulate you, general, in your performance in the book. i had two tours in vietnam. i would like to ask you a question, i was there in '71, '72 at the high of the drug season, were you affected in your unit by drug in your '70, '71 performance? >> i was not. we were very fortunate because we were out in the bushes, we never got back in the rear, we never had an opportunity for the troops to interface with that. there was no way you could have drugs out in the field. so we never had that. my my biggest problem with my troops is falling asleep in watch, you are supposed to have 50 marines, the most i ever had was 25. if you send out

defense secretary nominee james mattis the waiver to serve as the pentagon chief. if confirmed, mattis has not been in civilian lifelong enough to meet the legal statute after leaving active duty. so he needs that waiver to be passed. adoption needs 60 votes. it is happening right now. again this is not confirmation but it is to vote for the waiver. now, look to the right part of your screen. see the screen? see the markets? the dow is down 61. we were down 183. at that point every single financial website was blaming donald trump for the selloff. they're all saying trump rally is fading i it is trump's fault. the rally is over. 20,000 is slipping away and one of the worst days in the election. we're coming back. is that suddenly not donald trump's fault? this could be something totally unrelated to the president-elect and has all the winners since the election day like financials falling. we're looking at that. team trump charging into battle.

we will never forget the lessons of 9/11 nor the heroes who lost their lives at the pentagon. ey were the best of us. i'll be speaking to the american civil liberties union about what these measures could mean, a little later in the programme. donald trump also ended his first week as us president with a promise to maintain the special relationship with britain. hosting his first foreign visit with the british prime minister theresa may, mr trump said the two countries were, what he called a "beacon for prosperity and the rule of law." mrs may said they had reaffirmed their unsha keable commitment to nato. rajini vaidya nathan reports from washington. attention! a week since he took office, president trump welcomed his first foreign leader to the white house. british prime minister theresa may, who came to power after the brexit vote in the uk last year. both new to theirjobs, both keen to strengthen the much lauded "special relationship". the pair took a moment to pose next to a bust of winston churchill, which president trump had removed. —— which president obama had removed.

the pentagon was a little bit happy to see it did not make it in the final order. the iranians called it a difficult too extremists. it could greet group like there's also concerns in terms when it comes to recutting intere interest. >> there's a program for those who help troops in iraq. it's little bit on some of the more nuanced issues too this order. already we're seeing as it treelts translators, we know apparently, i just talked too the attorney at the 11:00 hour, teerns who are being held, iraqis, at jf he and his family, lives have been threatened. he went through the extensive refugee emergency status, wild for a so knew. >> that's right. and the pentagon hasn't addressed these cases individually yet. the pentagon hasn't commented publicly on this but in the past military commanders said when these programs are held up, delayed, it does hurt u.s. credibility in the region and does affect to a certain ability to recruit. these critical translators are necessary when it comes to engaging with local forces and engaging troops on the ground. >> and ryan noble,

you're looking at a live shot at the hall of heroes at the pentagon. ke you to the live remarks when it happens. in the meantime, joining us now is our reporter at the white house. investor director and fund manager. let me start with you, guy. on this day, that we were anticipating that certainly the u.k. had been anticipating -- talk to us about the context and the reality of this quote-unquote special relationship that the u.s. and the u.k. share. on twitter it was noted that sky news was wall to wall coverage of theresa may until the u.s., whereas it was not even worth a mention really on fox news until the news conference. reporter: yeah. [laughter] i think the u.k. always likes to perceive this as being a special relationship. it's certainly very notable. but you do see a spike in coverage of the special relationship at the beginning of every new president's term. the u.k. likes to get in early and talk about the special relationship. i think what theresa may delivered today was a conversation with donald trump about how to maybe think about the s

she worked at the pentagon for vice president biden. she now works with the jeremy at a new american security. she is also one of the smartest people in town on europe and russia. finally, when i started studying the soviet union, detente was a focus. it moved from detente to perestroika and glasnost. we went from the bill to boris ara to peering into putin's eyes to reset enter today. from an old buffalo springfield song signs it up. there is something happening here what it is eight exactly clear. schiff, maybe you can clarify for us. [applause] representative schiff: it's a pleasure to join you today. and my appreciation for the center for meche in progress and the invitation to come and speak with you today. i look forward to our panel. there is a lot to talk about. what i thought i would focus my brief remarks on is the convergence of two trends in the world, the trend affecting russia and its place in the world, and the worldview of vladimir putin, as well as the trend of increasing potency of cyber as a weapon. come intose trends

getting word in from the pentagon. jennifer griffin saying the trump administration has asked the trump transition team has asked bob work to stay on as deputy secretary of defense. according to two well-placed sources, work would stay on, continuing the government -- the pentagon not commentating. that would be the deputy secretary of defense. the president-elect met with mitch mcconnell today head of the start of those confirmation hearings. mcconnell's challenging democratic complaints that the process is going too fast. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill. >> we had a good meeting about the senate agenda which includes confirming the cabinet appointments. >> majority leader mitch mcconnell in new york made the case for getting the work done so i knew president will have key members of his team. >> everybody will be properly vetted, as they have been in the past and i'm hopeful it will get up to six or seven, particularly the national security team in place on day one. >> mr. trump's nom

they are operating autonomously, and the pentagon's dr. roper says what you're seeing is a glimpse into the future of combat. >> it opens up a completely different level of warfare, a different level of maneuver. >> on my count -- >> reporter: the drone is called perdix, an unlikely name for an unlikely revolution. roper, head of a once secret pentagon organization called the strategic capabilities office, remembers the first time he saw perdix, which is named after a bird found in greek mythology. >> it's about as big as my hand, and i said really, this is what you want me to get excited about? it looks like a toy. >> reporter: it flies too fast and too high to follow. so "60 minutes" brought specialized high-speed cameras to the china lake weapons station in california to capture it in flight. developed by 20 and 30 somethings from lincoln labs, it's designed to operate as a team. which you can see when you follow this on a computer screen. >> we've given them a mission, which is fly down the road. >> and they're talking to each other? >

well, you have a tyranny of the in box in the pentagon. and things come at with you a velocity of a heat seeking missile. and so then you have to look and say how i do deal with this? who is making the decision? in that case, i think you should say great confidence in this man who understands what it means to be in battle. he understand what's it means not to go into battle. and he has the love for his troops is returned in a way that i've not seen before. his troops, men and women alike in all services love this man. and they love him because he loves them and what they do for our country. what they're willing to risk for our country. and so you look at his character. he's a humble man with very little to be humble about. but if you were to go to his hometown and see that he's a devoted son to his 94-year-old mother, lucille in rich land, washington. if you look, you see he's a member of the tricity food bank. on any occasion, can you now see him helping to distribute food to needy families. and you'll also see him refuse to exempt himself

[applause] >> thanks, ben. well, thank you and good evening. i first want to thank, obviously, the coronado library and eileen hawzer and also our good friends at bay books for hosting this great event. thank you, ben, for acti

scott: yeah, maureen, this is something president trump did in the visit to the pentagon in the past 90 minutes. he went over there to sign two executive actions or orders. first saying he was going to rebuild and strengthen the controversial one. something following up a little b of a campaign promise. you will recall on the trail at times he has called for complete ban of any muslim coming in the united states. people call it a religious test. there is a lot of controversy and criticism. we don't know exactly what this order includes. we haven't seen a copy of it. the white house hasn't issued it yet. but we know it will be for extreme vetting and in the past has indicated perhaps it would exclude any more immigrants from particular countries where terrorism has been prevalent. some of those we are waiting to see if they are on paper in this particular order. all of this on top of more of a busy day. prior to that at the pentagon, he and vice president pence had the official ceremonial swearing in for general james mattis to become the secretary of defense. one that donald trump sa

the president will go to the pentagon to sign some executive orders on military readiness, and then hes going to sign -- getting the 2 minutes here. he's going to sign this executive order on extreme vetting. this is the one that stood out at the beginning of the campaign as the infamous "muslim band," now it has been morphed into something quite different. >> jon: they are here, so we will let you stand with the rest of them, thank you, john roberts now the president and prime minister. >> president trump: thank you very much. i am honored to have prime minister theresa may here for our first official visit from a foreign leader. this is our first visit, so great honor. the special relationship between our two countries has been one of the great forces in history for justice and for peace, and by the way, my mother was born in scotland. serious scotland. today, the united states renews our deep bond with britain military, financial, cultural, and political. we have one of the great bonds. we pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship. together, america and the united

i will tell you that the leadership of the pentagon is not a favorite it. hey are never in favor of any change and i have this old the same that i've used over the years, the pentagon is not always right. so, i'm glad we had the congressional oversight. congress needs to reform as well. as someone mentioned, they have not passed all 12 appropriation bills by the first of october in 20 years and that's not a good thing. there's not-- a lot of gridlock in congress that needs fixing. >> i congratulate you general, and your performance that you told in your book. i have had two tours in vietnam. i would like to ask you a question. i was there in 71, 72 at the height of the drug season. were you affected in your unit by drugs in your 70, 71 performance equipment i was not. we were very fortunate because we were in the bush the whole time and never got back in their rear, so we never had an opportunity for the troops or interface at that. there was no way you could have drugs in the field, so we never had that. my biggest problem with my troops was they would fall

jennifer griffin is at the pentagon for us. does he sail through now or is there more to it? no, i think now you can pretty much assure that he will be confirmed. the waiver was the main hurdle that they had to get across. the democrats made their point by having this debate before the vote occurred about why it was that the trump transition team did not allow mattis to talk to them about and about their questions about civilian control of the military. now an overwhelming number of democrats voted in favor of mattis, to grant this waiver. you can't put too fine of a point for unusual to have a retired general who has not been retired seven years take control of what has been a civilian position. this has not happened in 67 years. since general george marshall was asked by harry truman at the start of the korean war to take the helm of the pentagon. this is a one-off. it's not a change. even mattis said that he would preserve civilian control by placing people in positions. he's not going to stack the pent gone with other generals. this is an exception. the president is likely
