Thats part of flight 370 which vanished with 240 people aboard. Theyre not confirming it was flight 370 but it was from the same time of plane. And its now at a high tech government lab. Also joining us aviation expert julian brai. David gallow. Were going to begin with Erin Mclaughlin live on reunion island. Tell us more about this metal object and where it is now. Who has it . Authorities are tight lipped but they took the report of this object seriously this morning some eight Police Officers out on the beach not far from here to collect it. Some 13 miles from where the original flaperon was found. A photo shows a twisted piece of metal with chinese characters seem to be could be some sort of brand i branding signature on it. Authorities looking at it. Analyzing it. Beyond that being very tight lipped. Theyre not speculating as to whether or not it could be a plane part or if its, in fact, suspected of being a part of mh370. Were noting this is a tiny island surrounded by a very big ocean. Lots of plane debris out there. Lots of room for false alarms. Very good point to make. Erin mclaughlin, we appreciate it. The investigation is focusing on the debris in toulouse, france. Simon, we know that malaysias transport ministry saying today this debris is, indeed, from a boeing 777. No questions . Yeah, thats right. But everyone involved in this investigation and analysis have confirmed that it is from a 777 aircraft. But, christi, thats not to say that it is definitely from mh370. And this is the lab that im at here in toulouse in the south of france. The dga. Its run by the french minister of defense where those folsom arms that erin mentioned should be cleared. So theyve said that it is from a 777 aircraft. They havent said its from mh370. What will happen now is members of the united states, ntsb, malaysian officials and were told now chinese officials, too, joining this group, and the french authorities will come to this lab, and theyre saying that theyll meet on monday, but they wont start analyzing until wednesday. I imagine the scientists will be here first thing monday morning, running the tests they need to. And then the senior officials will come and take a look and hopefully confirm or deny what we need to know. That is, is it from mh370. And what exactly happened to it . Because this is the plane with the right technology, christi, to tell us potentially what happened to the aircraft. And thats because theyll look in detail to that flaperon. See how it came away from the aircraft. Weve been discussing, havent we, over the last few days, did it come away in midair. Did it come away when it hit the sea . And another thing i want to share with you, christi, is the other piece that was found. The other piece of debris thats been flown in to france. It isnt here. Its at the criminal research institute, just outside paris. Thats where the National Police will analyze it. Its believed to be a piece of suitcase. And of course, once you find one piece and another, the hope is that somehow youll find the rest of the plane. But the deputy Prime Minister of australia in an interview with australian media overnight said that he doesnt believe that it is from mh370. And the reason hes giving is that it doesnt have any marine life growing on it. Whether that is definitive or not, its not, but of course, we like the family members of the passengers on board flight mh370 are holding on to every piece of information. Just to clarify, referring to the suitcase he does not believe is part of mh370. Same ma mohsin, appreciate it. Lets bring in david gallow and aviation analyst julian bray. We heard from samia that theres an expert who does not believe that piece of the suitcase is part of mh370 because theres a lack of marine life. David, first to you. Weve got this picture of a piece of metal that was discovered on the beach this morning. Lets go to that piece. Lets put that onscreen. No marine life here, either, david. Looks like a brandnew piece of crumbled metal. Every day on every beach things like that wash up. I was looking at the fasteners on that. And to me it looks like its got a handle like its some sort of cooking implement. I cant get a good scandal on scale but its all going to be found out fairly soon. That much we know. Are you leaning one way or the other considering what youre seeing versus the condition that that flaperon was in when it was discovered, on if this could have been in the water for nearly a year and a half . It doesnt look like that piece, this new crumpled bit had been in the water very long at all. So you know, until they actually take it and look at it in the lab, well have to stick with that for now. Julian to you, you now have this image. Youve seen it. Weve had it this morning. Your thoughts on this piece of metal, this object of interest thats washed ashore. Well, in the interest of justice, i did cheat a little bit and rang up my local chinese and he reckons its probably a rice cooker or a milk churn, which has a handle and it goes over the top of the round top. So he wasnt able to i wasnt able to show him the chinese characters on it, but he did say that the actual fixing looked quite crude, and i must admit the rivets doesnt look like aviation craft standard to me. So, its not a precision piece of welding, or fixing. So milk churn would be my take on it. So, in your opinion, likely not from mh370. Julian its important to say that not every piece and in some cases maybe the most important pieces here will not be the size of a flaperon that requires several men to carry it. They may be these very small pieces that could hold the key to this investigation. You are so right. Because every bit has some sort of forensic value. And so, they are appealing to anybody whos going beach combing, and picking up pieces of whatever on the beach to have a think, and if you think it could possibly be from the 777 or Something Like it, then hand it in. Lets get it examined, because the more the merrier. Because if we can actually find and build up a pattern of all this debris we might actually get on very quickly with this investigation. Which, of course, will actually have magistrates sitting in on it, because it is a criminal investigation inside france. Yeah. David finally and quickly to you. This part of the investigation is limited to those elements that will float, and wash is likely at the bottom of the ocean. Thats right. In fact, with air france 447, i went looked back at the final report, and many of the pieces that were floating were things like the flaperon. Were found floating. And there was a lot of debris found in that case. But, yes, the important bits, the black boxes, especially, are probably sitting somewhere in the bottom of the indian ocean, and its up to that team, the australian controlled team, to find those two items.

One of the candidates jockeying for a position there is governor Chris Christie. And ahead of the debate, christie sat down with cnns jake tapper, host of state of the union. Jake joins us now with more. So jake, good morning, what did you talk about . We talked about any number of things. And well be talking to christie, and also senator rand paul coming up on state of the union. One of the things thats interesting is the other republican candidates trying to explain why donald trump is doing so well in the polls. Rand paul was asked about it, and he had a rather choice quote. So i asked Chris Christie if he agrees. Take a listen. Rand paul was recently asked about the fact that trump is ahead in polls. And rand paul wrote, i think this is a temporary sort of loss of sanity, but were going to come back to our senses and look for somebody serious to lead the country at some point. Do you think dr. Paul is diagnosing the problem correctly . No, i dont. Listen, i think that donald is going to be as serious a candidate as donald wants to be. Hes going to determine through the depth of his answers and the seriousness of his answers, whether hes a serious candidate or he isnt. Thats what i mean by campaigns matter. Anybody can do well for a month in this business. Especially if you have talent and you have personality. Donald has both of those things. Lets see how it goes over the course of time. I think dr. Pauls diagnosis is premature. Other republican candidates such as jeb bush, victor, have said that the electorate is angry and with good reason. Rand paul suggesting its temporary insanity. Chris christie has much more coming up, as does rand paul on state of the union. All right. Looking forward to it. Jake tapper. Thank you so much. Thank you. And state of the union with jake tapper starts at the top of the hour, 9 00 a. M. Eastern right here on cnn. Well be right back.
