now at this point, according to the statistics gathered by the us department of transportation, 12000 railcars carrying hazardous materials passed through cities and towns every day, 12000. so this is a very serious concern in the fact that there already been a doesn't reported racks and rail racks this year. so far. i mean, it's only february, how are the ad 12 similar derailments, none of them as big of a catastrophe as this one was. but we've had similar derailments. this is a serious cause for concern. now, when we listen to what's being said by the rail workers union, they are blaming the fact that they have been understaffed. that they have stripped down the employment of rail workers and wall street corporations that all these rail firms are doing. all they can to employees view workers as possible, and that's resulting in less safe conditions. now, when one looks at the united states, both being the wealthiest country in the world and compares israel system with the rail system of the people's republic of china. it's quite disturbing to look at, i mean people are the rails, th

. >> joining us now to discuss is the former inspector general for the department of transportation. mary, thanks for joining us. so the ntsb, the national transportation safety board, is set to release its preliminary report on the derailment tomorrow morning. what specifically are you looking for? >> the ntsb will release in a preliminary report the facts they know them so far, but those facts will include very important things. for example all those rails have defect detecters that looks for hot boxes or overheated axles and wheel. why that did not alert the train in time to stop will probably be noted in the facts. there are reporting devices on the trains and also they will find out because it will be a factual report exactly if this train and the make-up of this train was subject to any additional safety requirements. it appears not. with three train crew on it, was over two, which is the number people want. and also it did not have the materials on it that would have required the electronic pneumatic braking system, in other words, the automatic braking system people are talkin

. >> the headline is that the city, the department of transportation, we're celebrating $62 million in grants being awarded to us through the metropolitan transportation commission. >> reporter: this comes of a record 65 fatalities on san jose streets last year and aligns with the city's long-term goal of encouraging people to use other modes of transportation. >> we've got to make our streets as safe as possible for people to feel comfortable getting out of their cars, hopping on a bike, or taking a bus or walking. >> reporter: shilo is glad the money's coming in, but -- >> the time it takes to deliver on some of these projects, talking ten years. people are dying now. we can't wait that long. >> reporter: shilo arrived at her destination safely but for the city to reach its goals, there's still a long and twisty road ahead. >> we wish her a safe ride and everyone else. and making the streets safer for psych lists and pedestrians is one of the recommendations for san jose's budget goals just this year. in fact, the mayor created five specialized transition committees to help steer that process along. >> and the

of the network is long overdue. in a statement, the department for transport told us everyone should be able to travel with confidence. but it remains a nervous time for many rail passengers awaiting the government's next move. we're told the plan won't be brought before parliament until may at the earliest. helen richardson, bbc look north. now, we're all looking for ways to reduce costs at the moment, so one couple from surrey have decided to move out of their rented home and instead buy a tiny eco—house on wheels. david westwood and becky warren say their outgoings have halved since they made the move. living in a tiny house has, i would say, drastically increased our quality of life. our outgoings are half of what they used to be. we don't have that significant pressure of rent or mortgage. give it to me. he doesn't want to give it to me now. we just haven't really felt the pinch. i've been recording our journey in the tiny house on our youtube channel. we have the kitchen area, and that's the front of the house. our bathroom in there. and then at the other end of the house, we have our living space up the stairs

department of transportation showing us what it is like to be behind the wheel there. snowfall records broken in places like portland, salt lake city, seeing over 15 inches . and an incredibly rare for the mountains in los angeles county, first since 1989. a iz mr. blizzard in l.a. count. chad myers, 1 00 degree temperature swing. >> it was 98 degrees in mcallen texas, but 9 below in montana. more record highs across the east coast today, more record lows across the west. billings not below zero. and the snow and ice for the midwest and great lakes, pretty much done. still some snow here across minneapolis, and then across upstate new york and into northern new england. but for the most part the ice storm has already happened. it has already come down. winter storm warnings are still in effect, the next storm system coming out of l.a. and more snow coming down, but it is the ice that was so significant for ann arbor. over half an inch on all the trees. power lines are down, over 600,000 customers without power, multiply that by two, three, four people in every house, y

it's time for congress and the department of transportation to reregulate this industry. >> i think all of usrd, which is investigating last month's near collision on the jfk runway issued a subpoena for the tail light of the pilots involved after several attempts to interview them. the ntsb says the american crew through their union would not consent to the interview. why are we seeing this pushback from the american airlines crew? >> we're seeing the pushback because in recent years, a lot of federal investigative a agencies have misused the interview process and, make no mistake, the ntsb does have the power to subpoena. so what happens after an accident, you're obligated by law to submit a report of the sdnt. this is an incident, not an accident. you're required to submit a report. attached to that report should be the interviews or a statement of the pilots and other personnel involved in the incident. then the ntsb has the power to ask you to do an interview. if you don't, they have the power to subpoena. once they subpoena you're before an interview before administrative law officers.

elizabeth: what do you make of pete buttigieg saying he welcomes the inspector general for the transportation department investigating his extensive usedo you believe he welcomes it? >> i think that what the american people want to know is how does he use his time, because it seems to be misplaced priorities, you know? he wants to go out there and say bridges are racist, he wants to go out here and talk about how there needs to be equity in a work force. what people want to know is that planes are going to fly, that trains are going to stay on the tracks, that boats are going to be up and down our rivers and and into our ports, and they want to make certain that our highways are going to be passable. and they have just been stunned with the lack of attention that he has given to the issues whether it was the river bridge in mississippi down at memphis, we finally got him down there for that, got it fixed9 and bac. you look at the people in east palestine who are just really suffering that need the u.s. department of transportation to come do its job. and east off in nashville at the clinton global -- he's off in nashville at the clint

of this and stuff because i just see myself as just doing my job. >> reporter: the school district superintendent says the video is being used by the ohio department of transportation school bus driving training to highlight how perfectly april checked her mirrors while students got off the bus clearly the difference. >> i was a school bus driver. yes, you are really -- you have -- you feel the sense of responsibility and kudos to april and you heard the gratitude of the mom. >> those instincts coming in. >> thank you, will. >>> coming up why james bond is getting a rewrite. >>> and the jury now set to visit the crime scene for the alex murdaugh trial. dan abrams will be along with how that could impact the case but first let's go back to ginger there in central park. ging. >>> hey there, robin, the sierra nevada mountains are at 181% of average snowfall. look at that video getting more now, feet of it and we're going to see this go through with winds, remember, those blizzard warnings. your local weather now in just 30 seconds. with us today as rain spreads across the bay area for the morning commute. it is chilly in the upper 40's and this allows for a breakthrou

iterations of this for a long time and we've been working with department of transportation so, what was in the state of the union wasn't new to us not just from the department of transportation, but from consumer groups, from our customers, from people on the hill, and we knew this was a direction that we wanted to head so we, obviously, this technology has been in development for a while, to be able to be announced today >> scott, speaking of the d.o.t., do you expect that you'll take a harder look at other fees let's take baggage fees, for example. that they'll come down even harder on the airlines whether it's in terms of how much can be charged or trying to put some caps or limits there. >> tbd, i suppose. i doubt that that is what is going to happen. you know, free market let business models evolve how they want and really give the customers the choice and, you know, if you look at an airline like united, and this is increasingly true with the large airlines, our fees are really transparent when we have them. we have a lot fewer than we used to have and while that -- those kinds of fees used to be a big pain point and compl

passengers here, therefore, the department of transport decided not to let them in this time, additional compensatory buses for the time of restriction are urged to use the mcc, nizhny novgorod aviamotornaya kalinin line and elektrozavodskaya on the arbat pokrovskaya branch. there is another option for a city bus 0.32 at the time of the closure of two stations, this route was made free of charge , these paths are already a finished part of the large circle line. and when it is fully operational, according to experts' calculations, other branches the subway will unload about a quarter, and the path, say, from nekrasovka to sokolniki will take only half an hour alexei to the normal mamedov dmitry chernikov anastasia roev together. aeroexpress passengers were warned about the change in the schedule of trains in vnukovo , this is due to planned work on the railway network. because of this, on saturday, in the afternoon, there will be no flights from the kievsky railway station to the airport and back, and on sunday, trains from moscow will start running only from 2:00 p.m. check the schedule on the aeroexpress website or in your mobile application? to ge

joining me now is the president of the transportation trades department of the afl cio, greg regan thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to start with what i referenced at top, this veteran railroader described as precision scheduled railroading, and said that was a real problem here. what is that? >> it's really a business operating model that's designed to maximize the profits of the railroad systems. that's pretty much all it is. it's not precise, and not necessarily scheduled. what we have seen from a tangible outcome is 30% of the work force caught in eight years. we have seen record profit was in the industry. >> so record profits and not hiring new employees or paying new employees more, is that what you're saying? >> yeah, just drastic cuts across the crafts and classes in the railroad industry. the result of it is we have people essentially on call 24/7 to do their jobs. they do not have an opportunity to catch their breath. sick leave became an important issue during the bargaining unit. people did not have the opportunity to take their allotted leave. they're expected to b

one, department of transportation, your department of transportation has things it can do. stop blaming donald trump, he has not been president for three years, and use the powers of the federal government to do things necessary to help people in this community. >> senator vance wants to see norfolk southern do more, he says they quickly repaired the tracks to get the trains moving again. now wants to see them do more to clean up the toxic chemicals he says are still seeping into the ground water. ohio governor mike dewine's office says they have spoken to the white house about getting federal aid but appears some pushback, fema continues to tell governor dewine ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time. as you mentioned, it was a contentious town hall at the high school, norfolk southern officials failing to attend out of fear for their own safety. some residents of the town of 5,000 in eastern ohio are nervous about drinking the tap water, and the wanted to see the transportation secretary here last night. >> your guess is as good as me. yesterday was the first time i heard anything from the white house. >> i asked senator vance if he wants

of it. thanks so much. >>> joining us to talk about this, transportation analyst mary schiavo and inspector general for the department of transportation. where do we begin? let's start with some of the information that was coming from the canadian defense minister just a few moments ago because i have -- i listened to that press conference, and i had lots of questions. first of all, this canadian defense minister said that the object that is i guess of interest here in all of this, that was shot down over the skies in canada earlier today, was cylindrical in shape. that was the -- the exact word she used. she said cylindrical in shape. she said it was flying at about h 40,000 feet, going back to the conversation we had earlier, you can't have objects flying that low, could get in the way of civilian aircraft obviously. but what is your sense of it listening to that kind of information, particularly the shape of this object that is very odd. >> well, it's very odd. you know, if you're looking for a traditional balloon or an aircraft. throughout history there have been many cylindrical flying objects. >> okay. >> not t

of his department. he began to understand the term transport racism, supposedly us planes and trains are more convenientn blacks. here's what to fight. residents have such secrets, they are unlikely to support it conservative america where they drive pickup trucks vote for trump and live in one place for generations, no one will say how it will be now, or they worry at their home how they will sell them now people are afraid that the market is too will sag strongly and prices will collapse because of all this. i understand them. the biden administration has allocated $ 200 billion for green energy, almost 200 times more than for railways, according to statistics, every year in the united states more than one and a half thousand incidents are recorded in which wagons fly off the tracks, lead clouds to disqualify from secrets do not leave a chance for solar panels. and now the whole world knows what the wagayo railways look like, this is not an optical illusion, the train is kept on the tracks, as if contrary to the laws of physics. georgy sashvili, vladimirzhevsky sergey chevella. channel one yeah, her u

us. >> reporter: you just heard that was $400 million paid at the end of january. testimony comes as the department of transportationng the airline over its scheduling but senator ted cruz expressed his hope that lawmakers will resist regulating the airline and trust the customers will vote with their feet, he says. ashley: interesting stuff. thank you. then there is this story, the annual rankings of the world's safest airlines have been released. who got the top spot? lauren: qantas airlines in australia followed by air new zealand, qatar, singapore airlines. i did not mention a single us carrier. the only us airlines to crack the top 20, alaska came in at number 8, hawaiian, united, america, delta came in at 20. airlineratings.com put together these rankings, looked at 385 airlines and things like crashes, pilot training. pilots are well trained but there's a pilot shortage. ashley: the flying kangaroo, number one, thank you very much. flying them next month, stands for queensland and northern territory aerial service. it's an acronym back in the days when it just served that area. lauren: you just pull that off

using it in that context. >> tucker: imagine apologizing for saying all lives matter. they don't all matter says the head of the department of transportation. you can see now that he means it. a train derails on his watch in a town full of high school educated trump voters that nobody cares about and have been left behind and they're further ignored. that's not environmental racism, no. it's equity. so clearly he knows all lives don't matter and he's being rewarted for it. victor davis hanson joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. wouldn't it be nice to see somebody pay some price for ineptitude and indifference? >> yeah, it would. he's jumped the proverbial shark. his on qualifications for the job were his identity politics credentials and the fact that he went to harvard and oxford and the media and the bicoastal elite gagaed over him. otherwise, he had the un-midas touch. everything he's touched, whether it was the port crowding at our major ports or the train robbing of trains going in to the ports or these four accidents where airliners crashed on the southwest implosion or the meltdown over the season with the airline or the rail ca

of delay. we use the tools to commit and airlines we could then go back with our authorities at the department until weut did that o commit the things like converting hotels or ground transportation or when you get stuck up with a cancellation that was their fault like getting the commitments over the summer something that we could use in the winter and we are using it right now especially in following up about what happened to southwest but there's more work to bee done and one area that i'm interested in right now is this phenomena of having to pay extra to sit with your kids when you're flying. we stated over the summer the airline should make clear they are committed to not doing it and looking for them to follow through on that and preparing the rules so that whether they do it voluntarily we make sure they don't have to deal with it. i believe a lot more now that i've had the experience. >> did they keep investing in computer systems making sure that they were up to date moving forward with technology is that something you also have a concern about? >> one thing that we saw in the case of the storm is that most of the airlines were covered relativelyel clearly. it tells you

department of transportation quoted this. this could be a doozy. i think it's an under used word, but that tells you everything you need to know. i think i'm seeing a little more wind than just an hour ago when we talked before. tell me what it feels like there, and what we're expecting. >> reporter: a little more wind, because the break in the snow has lasted longer than expected, the estimated snow totals have gone from 2 feet to 1 foot instead. officials still stressing to the minnesota residents that they have to keep off the roads because this is what the roads are looking like here. they're icy, most of the roads still covered with snow. we have seen from the department of transportation, multiple spinouts on the highways because people continue to drive. officials, again, telling people, stressing the urgency of this. if this doesn't end up as bad, a foot of snow is still a lot of snow, and officials here had that task of convincing the people who live here to take this seriously. although they may consider themselves used to this, they don't know this storm, and if t

fire departments on communal enterprises where they are trying to damage transport and recently 16 buses were damaged which were just transportation for the people of kherson, including those used, that is, the occupiers are trying to destroy the infrastructure and make life in the city of kherson unbearable, including beating and infrastructure is constantly critical, but our workers, workers of communal services, in the shortest possible time bring the city back to life, connect it to electricity. well, it should be noted, after all the work of the security forces, mr. sergey, what is happening on the left bank in the coastal areas, and counter batteries for the fight are possible. our special operations forces already visit the left bank from time to time, you know , just yesterday, our artillery struck a powerful blow on the industrial part of the city of kakhovka near the city of m.e.e. vegetable storages of kvinits such a large vegetable storage, and it is not in the industrial part that the occupiers also used warehouses for their ammunition and placed military equipment there, and by the way, even the residents of kahov say that those shellings they are also heard in th

joining us now to discuss this further is cnn transportation analyst mary schiavo, a former inspector general for the department of transportation. mary, we were talking to you last weekend about how weird it was to have a balloon, a chinese spy balloon flying over the united states, and being shot down off the coast of south carolina and then lo and be hold, here we are one week later, we had the incident that took place in alaska yesterday, and then we don't even know a whole lot about what is taking place today. the canadian prime minister ordering the takedown of an unidentified object over the yukon, that is very strange. >> well, very strange, but i've been working in alaska for two and a half weeks on a different airplane crash case. the difference in the activity here with military aviation, i'm literally, i can see it,you know, aviation and air base from here. there are awax planes, the early surveillance planes from the military base circling around alaska. i mean, there's a tremendous increase in activity here just on surveillance activities from, you know, fixed wing aircraft and the awax. the importan

us about what, what, what you know? well, what we do know is that in the immediate aftermath of this, we revisited our, our request that the department of transportation strengthen its rules about trained braking systems. we've heard back that they are going to consider that request and they're evaluating those options. people also announced a $33.00 part plan, but unfortunately, one part of that plan is voluntary requests for the train industry to do some more . another part of that request is to ask congress to pass some legislation. and one of the things that we see across the board here is that the government agencies in particular that we're relying on to protect us have been systematically undermined through underfunding and through demoralization at the hands of various political interests. we know, for example, that p a is at the lowest staffing levels that have been seen in decades. and that is at a time when, as the other commentators and pointed out the threats to our health are even higher . not to mention the global concerns that we have as well. so it is ironic that at the very time when we need all of these protections and we rely on th
