We are finding people throughout the entire Square Footage of that structure. Reporter one survivor says their fire extinguishers were virtually useless. It was like putting out a bonfire. We tried but trying to get many out of the space. Reporter many did not make it out alive and many may still be inside the burnedout twostory building. We found six group together and four group together. Reporter what does that tell you . We are looking at bodies on top of each other. The presumption is from the second floor fall.

A lot of raw emotion. Everybody is still scrambling for information. There seems to be, you know, less than a few degrees of separation in a city of over 400,000, everybody appears to know somebody that knows somebody. It feels very small town. Reporter you were inside the warehouse. Can you describe the scene . I guess, yesterday, when i went into the building before we had started the recovery, it is a large Warehouse Space and if you can imagine a roof, a second floor, and a mezzanine all collapsing into the main floor with a huge amount of fire load and massive amount of stuff just on top of everything. Small mounds and large mounds and, ncases, reaching almost to the rooftop and other areas. You could see, you know, pathways through. I missed all that, chief. Can you tell us about the status of the recovery effort and the challenge of it . We are challenged with making sure that we are not missing anything, so it is an arduous low process.

Energy transfer partners released a statement calling the decision politically motivated and said the Obama Administration abandoned the rule of law in favor of curing favor with a extreme constituency. Omar villafranca has the necks steps for the pipeline supporters and the opponents. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The eviction 39 was set for today. Thousands of native americans and environmentalists camped up behind us and we are looking forward to a brutal north dakota winter. Some of the protests turned violent but on sunday when people found out the construction had been halted, they celebrated. Thousands danced, hugged and played instruments. Hey reporter following sunday afternoons decision. We can spend this winter with our families. We still have to remain peaceful. Thats what helped us win. Reporter the army corps of engineers is denying an easement allowing the fourstate Dakota Access pipeline to cross under a portion of the missouri river, approximately a mile upstream from the reservation. The river is Standing Rock siouxs source for drinking water. In a statement, the army corps said they are now considering a different pipeline crossing further north. For months, thousands of protesters camped out near the site with no plans to leave, despite freezinmperures. And clashes with Law Enforcement that led to more than 500 arrests. Energy transfer partners, the Company Building the pipeline, released a statement late sunday calling the decision purely politically. They said they have done nothing but play by the rules and fully expect to complete construction of the pipeline without any additional rerouting. Nothing this administration has done today changes that in any way. The people, they came and they saved our home. Reporter for tribal member jumping buffal an emotional victory. This is my land. Everyones land. We are all from here. If doesnt matter what part of the country or the world youre from, youre welcome here. Reporter this fight may not be over. President elect donald trump has voiced support for the pipeline as recently as friday. His administration could overturn the corpss decision when he takes office. We reached out to mr. Trumps Transition Team, but have not heard back. Josh . Omar, thank you. President elect trump is shaking up u. S. Foreign policy more than a month before he takes office. His phone call with taiwans president touched off something of a weekend diplomatic fire storm with china and broke decades of president ial protocol. Mr. Trump was defiant last night on twitter. He questioned china about currency devaluation and trade deals with the u. S. And military expansion into the south china sea. Major garrett looks at the mixed signals from the president elect. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Back story here. The u. S. Government has for almost four decades followed a socalled one china policy. That means recognizing taiwan through defense contracts and informal contacts. But not as a separate government with its own diplomatic standing. Well, when mr. Trump accepted a call from taiwans president some thought this might have been an inadvertent mistake but we learned the Trump Transition Team spent some time arranging this call in hopes it would signal its willingness to challenge china diplomatically and economically and in the south china sea. Was this a twominute congratulatory call. Reporter on face the nation on sunday, incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus tried to downplay the president elects decision to take the call from taiwans president. Something no elected american leader has done since 1979 when diplomatic relations were severed in favor of stronger relations with mainland china. This is not a massive deviation of our policy. But President Trump has made it clear he is going to work with china, prc, to make sure that we have a better deal, that we have better trade agreements. Reporter the United States still maintains defense contracts with taiwan and late friday, trump tweeted this. Interesting how the u. S. Sells taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment, but i should not accept a congratulatory call . Mr. Trumps decision to speak to taiwan cast new light on his search for a secretary of state. And while mitt romney and Rudy Giuliani and senator bob corker and former cia director David Petraeus continue to be the top contenders, others have emerged, including former ambassador to china jon huntsman and joe manchin and rex tillerson. Early sunday, trump turned his attention to a diagram success, the deal announced with carrier to save some 800 jobs from going to mexico. Again via twitter. The president elect issued a warning to companies thinking of taking their business elsewhere. Any business that leaves our country for another country fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country and then thinks it will sell its product back into the u. S. , he wrote, is wrong. The saga over secretary of state is likely to continue for days, as no consensus has emerged within mr. Trumps inner circle. The Transition Team announced this morning that former neurosurgeon and former rival to trump ben carson is named as secretary of housing and development.
