Emergency signals have reportedly been detected now. This as the u. S. Navy sends in its most sophisticated rescue systems. And abcs Stephanie Ramos is on the story in our washington bureau. Stephanie, good morning to you. Reporter dan and paula, good morning. It has been four days since the Naval Submarine ara san juan first went missing. While theres been no visible sign of the crew, it looks as though they may be trying to reach out for help. This morning, there are new signs of hope as authorities desperately search for 44 crew members on board a missing argentinian submarine. Seen here, before it vanished. Emergency signals believed to have come from the submarine have been detected. Argentine Officials Say seven failed satellite calls were picked up. This, as one of the u. S. Navys most sophisticated underwater rescue systems travels to argentina to help look for the sub. The problem here, although the navy is sending its best rescue gear, if you dont know where the submarine is, you cant effect that rescue. Reporter one system can save up to six people at a time. And reach a sunken submarine at depths of 850 feet. No one appears to know exactly where the submarine is. Its been missing since wednesday. The Argentine Navy says it lost contact with the decades old sub while it was on a routine trip from a base in ushuaia on the southern tip of the continue intercept to its home base. One theory is that a fire may have knocked out power, cutting off their communication system. This is not the First Submarine to go missing. August 2000, the Russian Nuclear submarine kursk sank after an exer side, killing over 100 sailors. In 1968, the uss scorpion sank beneath the Atlantic Ocean with 99 crewmen. And two nuclear torpedos. Why it went down is still unknown. With the u. S. Navys two undersea rescue systems on the way to argentina to look for the submarine, everyone involved is hoping for a different and positive outcome. Dan and paula . Stephanie, thank you. Lets bring in retired marine colonel steve ganyard. Hes an abc news analyst. You saw him in stephanies piece. We have more questions for you, in. Ve. Do you think these repord Satellite Communications could really be from the missing sub . To you, is this an optimistic sign . I dont know, dan. Im a little bit suspect. When did they come in . Right after the sub was reported missing . Did they come in yesterday . If this submarine tried multiple times and tried different bases, did nobody pick up the phone . How could that be . In a lot of ways this reminds me of Malaysian Air flight 370. There was a lot of rumor, inknew when innuendo. And unfortunately, incompetence. In a lot of ways, unfortunately, this rescue mission mirrors that. Were going on four days. Realistically, how long could people survive on a submarine once its been distressed or disabled underwater . Thats a twopart idea. If its underwer. This is whats called a diesel electric submarine. So its an older design. The Diesel Engine recharges the batteries. They can only stay underwater with those batteries for about 36 hours. If that submarine is still underwater, there is not much hope left. If, though, the sub has surfaced. Unquestionably, theyll deal with extreme weather conditions. If the sub has somehow surfaced, is it possible it hasnt been detected yet . It is possible. If they are on the surface, they would be quite uncomfortable, as you note, the weather is very bad. The seas are high. But they could survive. They have enough food and water. As long as they have oxygen, they can bob around and wait for a rescue. The p8 airplanes that the u. S. Navy has sent have very sophisticated radars. Theyre designed to pick up submarines on the surface. With those p8s in action, i think we have the best shot today to find the submarine, if its on the surface. Were holding out hope that the 44 members of that crew will be found alive. Steve, thank you for your analysis this morning. We want to move to the latest on the Sexual Misconduct allegations that are rocking the senate race in alabama. This weekend, faith leaders gathering in birmingham to condemn the republican candidate, roy moore. Who, as you know, has been accused of having Sexual Misconduct with a minor. David wright is covering the story from the white house this morning. David, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. The outcome of this open senate seat smack in the middle of the bible belt matters to the white house. It comes at a time when institutions across the country are grappling with the abuse of the patriarchy. One liberal pastor is calling this contest a battle for the is out of the nation. In alabama, plenty of religious conservatives still have faith in judge roy moore. Even after at least eight women have accused him of inappropriate behavior. Including allegations of Sexual Assault. Most say they were teenagers at the time. Moore vehemently denies hes guilty of any such thing. Theyre not only untrue, but they have no evidence to support them. Eporter a growing number of liberal preachers are calling the Republican Senate candidate out. More than 50 pastors have signed a letter declaring him unfit for office. What is happening right now in alabama matters for the soul of the nation. Just like the march cross the Edmund Pettis bridge mattered. Reporter on saturday, the former head of the North Carolina naacp, addressed an antimoore rally in birmingham. Hes been empowered by folks like steve bannon, and white nationalists and white supremacists. Reporter Moores Campaign is raising big bucks off the controversy. Record reportedly collecting more donations since the scandal broke than in the six weeks since he won the primary. The white house is very interested in the race. Theyre keeping close tabs on it through intermediaries. Steve bannon, the president s former chief strategist, is one of roy moores biggest supporters. Paula . In that race, the election just around the corner. The 12th of december. David, before we let you go, one more question. We learned that the president son don jr. Had an encounter with a russian banker in may at an nra dinner. What can you tell us . Reporter we can confirm the meeting took place. They had a brief conversation at the dinner. Went back to their separate tables. Why this matters is that investigators are trying to piece together what contact highlevel Trump Associates may have had with russians during the campaign. This banker is someone that has been reported to be one of the people trying to set up a direct meeting between putin and trump. Dan and paula . All right, david, thank you very much. Lets bring inopoulos, who h week later this morning. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Lets talk about roy moore. The front page of the birmingham news says stand for decency, reject roy moore. It goes on to endorse the democratic rival. Doug jones. So given all of the pressure roy moore is facing here, theres quite a lot of pressure, could he still pull out a win . Well, alabama is still a very republican state. Theres still a chance. Roy moores core supporters stand in defiance of the establishment. Youre seeing the establishment speak out against roy moore there. You have the major newspapers. The Republican Leadership in the senate right now saying, they cant work with roy moore. The president is a bit of a question mark. He has said that roy moore should step aside if the allegations are true. He and the white house have not come down one way or the other on if the allegations are true. Seven different women have come forward now. Even the attorney general says the allegations are credible. The president hasnt yet taken a stand on that right now. The latest polling, one poll shows doug jones, the democrat, does have a lead. But i think thats just one piece of the evidence. The election is still 3, 3 1 2 weeks away. Anything can happen there. They seem to be getting a Record Number of donations since the scandal broke. The republicans desperately looking for the first legislative win of the year. The house passed the tax bill this week. They have passed the baton to the senate. You have Susan Collins on the show today. She could realistically kill the bill. What are the odds of passage . They can only lose two senators. Senator collins says she has a lot of problems with the bill. She doesnt like that they have included the repeal of the Obamacare Mandate in the bill. She doesnt like the estate tax. She doesnt like the fact that this could cause medicare cuts in the future. Will that be enough for her to say no to the bill . Thats one of the questions im going to ask her. Shes not the only one with real questions out there right now. You have senator john mccain. Senator bob corker both concerned about the process and the deficit. Another senator, ron johnson, of wisconsin, says he doesnt like the way the tax cuts for Small Businesses are structured. You lose three senators, the bill doesnt go anywhere. One of the big, big problems. A couple of problems for the bill. As it stands is that its tremendously unpopular. This would be the most unpopular tax bill ever put before the congress right now. A huge problem. Number two would be, in their attempt to try to keep the deficit numbers down, they have made the Corporate Tax cuts permanent but the individual tax cuts temporary. Thats drawing the fire of people like senator collins as well. Weighed against that, republicans need a win. They need a win going into the midterms. Theres a lot of pressure for the entire party to hold together. Really high stakes here for everybody. Thank you, george. Thanks, george. I want to remind everybody, george has a big show this morning. Hell speak with maine senator Susan Collins. Hell have more on the debate over Sexual Harassment now rocking washington.
