That countrys biggest diplomatic gathering since military rule ended to great fanfare and hopes in 2011. He met with the World Leaders of the association of South East Asian nations and called for myanmar to fight for true democracy. Strong leadership and commitment, the attitude i have heard today continues in the years to come, but i am confident about a completely new day for myanmar. The work is not yet done. Tomorrow the president is going to meet with the pro democracy leader. She is the subject of global hopes herself and currently unexpected disappointments. We have a look in a few minutes. Back here at home, thats not just the chill of political inaction, but an arctic blast hit nearly 2 3 of the country. Its 20 to 40 degrees above normal. If you live in new england or the great lakes, you could see snow today. These crazy record lows will stick around until at least next week. Disturbing news as well in washington state. Police have just released chilling 911 calls made during the Deadly School shooting outside seattle. One of the calls was made from inside the Marysville High School cafeteria as a freshman opened fire. The call frwas from a teacher w said she tried to stop the gunman from shooting himself. I need help now. Shooter right here. He is wearing all black. Im staring at him. I need help now four could havictims died in shooting. The shooter also died at the scene. You tube is in a place called vertigo. Do you get that reference . Most people dont listen to joshua tree you tube, but we do. Bonos rear door fell off at 15,000 feet. It happened as they were traveling for dublin to berlin. The pilots didnt realize it happened. Bono is okay and his friends are okay. They just lot of some luggage. Good news for those of us who cant live with or without him. Decision day as we speak. Congress Holding Elections to pick leaders in each chamber. Harry reid will be the minority leader and both parties in the senate and republicans in the house are holding ballots behind closed doors. Senators incoupumbent and new. He will be winning reelection too. Break out a grass of red. Casey hunt is with us from capitol hill following this. Any surprises so far . I think the main theme for today really was just how unhappy some democrats are with harry reid and his leadership. The democratic meeting to pick the new leaders went much longer than it did for the republicans. You can hear applause and cheering out of the room. On the democratic side, more tense fences. I spoke to the senator as he was coming out and while senator reed is speaking, she was talking about how there was a lot of consternation in the room and a lot of voices saying we are showing the American People we can get something done. There was a lot of backlash against the leadership style. Did that swing the out come . We know he was just reelected, but is that creating that in any way . These elections are typically or often unanimous. This disagreement is fairly unusual. That said, reed was reelected obviously. The other interesting thing to note is he added Elizabeth Warren to his team and they created a new post for Elizabeth Warren and they will be doing outreach. Aids said it gives her a seat at the sparking all kinds of chatter and what senator warren may want to do next. It may be a sign that rumors have been greatly exaggerated. We are following new developments out of missouri. A doctor hired by the Michael Brown family to do a private autopsy several months ago is testifying before a grand jury. He performed one of the three examinations on browns and said he found no evidence of a struggle. Also in court, attorneys for Michael Browns family spoke. They asked the public to stay calm regardless of how the grand jury shakes out. On behalf of the brown family, we do not condone acts of li on thing, looting or violence. We want to encourage all of those who support the justice for mike brown to remain vigilant, yet peaceful, calm, and dignified as we await and after we receive the grand jury decision. We also feel that it is equally important to implore Law Enforcement to exercise reasonable restraints when dealing with demonstrators. They could decide whether to indict the officer in browns death. Msnbc reporter tre main lee joins me from outside the courthouse. How critical to the familys side of the case is this testimony from the doctor . The doctors testimony is critical. There three autopsies that have been performed. By the department of justice and one by the medical examiner and one at the half familys behest. A leaked version of the official autopsy seems to corroborate what wilson said happened the day of the shooting. The autopsy report is very similar in terms of the gunshot wounds. There was to seven wounds and a few additional wounds. There also discrepancy depending on how far the gun was from Michael Brown when he was shot. This will be the first time they will tell the grand jury what he gleaned. All really contenduous facts. Eric holder spoke with the officers yesterday about what they are doing to prepare for any reaction to what comes out of the grand jury. Thank you so much for helping us entertain this difficult situation. We will come back to this story. Thank you. Now to the favorite story of the day. The mission. Scientists are boring over images and take a look at the first they are describing as a selfie. It shows it perched on one of the comets clips. It is relatively small, barely wider than the island of manhattan. This is a look at how it compares to planet earth and lower manhattan. Of course it probably has better parties. Dramatic stuff. In germany to break down what scientists are learning so far. This is a big deal for everybody out here and for the Science Community in general. The space Science Community. They are likening the landing to the moon walk except this is so much further out into space. Millions of miles out there. 310 million miles to be exact. This is a decadelong journey in the making. They have been chasing this through four billion miles of space and trying to get close enough to it in order to figure out where they can land for the mission to orbit it itself. They got close enough in august and they mapped a landing spot and they sent down the probe. It did land yesterday. The landing didnt go exactly as they planned. It bounced once and twice and now its sitting in what is potentially a cre vas and next to a side. There is a big black and white rock. They believe that is a wall next to a bolder in a hold. They are not sure, but they are collecting quite a bit of data. They do believe this has been a very big success, even if they dont expect any more from this point forward from that lander. They will say this was a major success. A major step forward for space exploration. The mission, the orbiter should be staying with the comet for the next year as it hurdles towards the side. They will take a lot of data from that and try to answer with that data some of the lifes biggest questions. How did we get here . Are we alone in the universe . The comets carry the clues especially how the earth got water. We are a waterbased planet and they hope with the information they get from this they will be able to get more insight into the very Big Questions that have been on everyones mind since the beginning of time. Back to you. Fascinating story. Up ahead, dont go away. Just in. Breaking now. Reports that the president will take action on a broad overhaul of the immigration policy.

New reports right now that president obama could take that long 3r07promised action as soo next week with or without congress. They are saying that the plan will protect up to five million undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation and provide many with work permits. This added to comments with congress to act on immigration. If the house does pass the Bipartisan Senate bill, the president would happily sign that into skplau if he moved forward, he would happily retract those so we could implement the senate bill. Hooey is up against a lot. They have warned president obama not to go it alone say it couup isser in the next congress. He was the first republican to sign on to the democrat immigration bail last year. Thank you for your time and insights. Thanks for having me. Setting aside this question on whether speckative act is the right way, what is your reaction to the details of the plan . I think that there good goals and objectives in here, but doing it by executive order not only goes against the constitution, but a mist trust within congress and the people who want to see a full debate on the issue. The argument is obviously there has been such gridlock for so long within the house. Isnt executive action the way to spur movement. Not the only way. When the democrats had control of the house and the senate and the presidency, they could have made it a priority and passed the bill that the president wants. We are just asking for him to work with us and certainly there a number of us that have been involved in working groups that the president has not reached out to to see common ground. To do that flies in the face of the american public. How much of an outliar have you found yourself to be on the issue. When you signed on to the democratic piece of legislation, was that a big risk to take . It was a Political Risk because i think the most of my conference do not trust the president that he would implement that law fairly. We believe we have to secure the border. We had over 50,000 unaccompanied minors and we passed a bill over to the senate. Thats a great first step to have them understand the border is not secure and sign a bill that does just that. Right. Have you been in contact with the white house on this . No. The white house does not have a great track record of reaching out to republicans or democrats in the house. That makes it difficult to have that relationship or it actually to work on issues together. What do you think the most helpful thing they can do to cultivate a bipartisan solution on the hill would be . Border security would be the first bill out there today that we passed out of the house. That would be one easy way to at least dress an up front issue in lame duck. My enlist act is one of the more easily passible bills. A huge number of coauthors. If you graduated from the high schools. Why wouldnt we want you to serve the country you know and love . There a lot of voters waiting for the message. We know in the last suddenly election. Hispanic voters tend to not vote republican. Your own district is 35 to 40 latino. Pulling back to the bigger picture, what do you think needs to change with the gop and the image with latino voters. We need to be showing we are working on a variety of issues. We dont feel like the voters are monolithic on one issue. They are looking at jobs and looking at some of the lawsuit malpractices in our community. And certainly how we address immigration is a big issue. We have to address all issues. When it comes to immigration, we need to look at top to bottom reform. Those who have been in our country for a very long time, a guest worker and e verify. We have a number of issues that will not only address our longterm debt, but get people back to work and contribute to the greatness of america. We are an immigrant nation and time we started acting like one. I am just getting a report from our own sources that there several conservatives on the hill now proposing a government shut down to combat any potential action on this from the president. Is that something you would support . No. I dont think you will see anything like that coming out of the house. Certainly not out of the gop. We will be focused on getting a good budget bill done. The executive order is i think meant to have a difficult election. This is freighted with a lot of politics and a lot of action. Another update we have been following. They have been in a brutal fight that they have now ended. Under that deal, they will set the prices for the set the deals. The terms are due to take effect. They will keep an eye on that game changer there. What is behind bill clinton and george w. Bushs increasingliardent romance. We have love letters, if you will. Love tweets. Right after this break. Welcome back. We have a big and Unexpected Development earlier this year. That story is this countrys backlog of untested rape kits. A new plan to clear that backlog and its unusual. He is going to take forfeiture funds from prosecuting International Banks up to 35 million of forfeiture to be exact and put those dollars towards ending the backlog on top of the 41 million being considered for this purpose on the hill. Joe biden tweeted thanks to help end the rape kit backlog will put offenders behind bars and bring closures to victims. I sat down with the man behind this move and asked him what he plans to do with that 35 million. By us providing these will help solve cases that remain open, victims in new york. Dna is directed from the crime keen and not located or matched to an offender and gets matched when they commit another rape or assault or jurisdiction. We reached out to the chair woman of the Appropriations Committee for her comment. There 41 million right now on the hill separate from the money that you are pledging. This is relevant. Testing is not enough. Unfortunately this program will not be funded under a longterm continuing resolution. Thats why im working on a bill reaching out, hands across the aisle and across the dome to fund this program at 41 million to bring the perpetrators to justice and get victims services. What should they be looking at doing . Is the bottleneck funds or does there need to be more oversight officials . Our initiative is 35 million that equates to 70,000 kits. Not the followup investigation. The crimes that may be revealed. I cant speak for congress, but i can say that we as a local jurisdiction believe that we have an ability to deal with a nationwide problem and affects all of our states and citizenry. I think congress is poised to provide the funding. Obviously i encourage them to do it and i hope they will do it and be papers with us. Thank you for the work he is doing. An unusual move that could make a visit for this story. A web extra for you guys at home. Much more on our website. Ronan daily. We will continue to bring you developments in that too often overlooked story of americas untested rape kids. Take a look at the other stories spiking on social media. Russia and gutter cleared guy fifa in the convoluted bidding process in the 2018 and 2022 world cups. Or have they been .
