those black boxes were sent back to washington, d.c. on a red-eye last night for analysis that should be taking place later today or tomorrow, within the next 24 hours, we're told. the ntsb investigators, as you mentioned, did get a chance to visit the crash site briefly last night. federal law enforcement has spoken with the pilots, they do not believe anything criminal took place. the ntsb will still have a chance to interview them to help figure out what caused their plane to crash. the president of asiana airlines tells nbc news that engine failure was most likely not what caused this boeing 777 to slam into the edge of the runway yesterday afternoon and catch fire. of the 307 passengers on board and the crew, at least two teenagers from china were killed. 49 other people seriously injured. from the ntsb's point of view, they're just starting their investigation and have not ruled out everything as a possible cause. >> everything is still on the table. we want to mag sure we develop the facts before we develop any conclusions. >> we

we're both to - hoping to get a lease to start the project and we're very pose washington, d.c. and the first net board has showed that they really like we've been working with our system so it will be in place in 2015. i want to show you a video on s f 32. we put a number of press articles that have been in the newspapers the last couple of months and one of the featured stories is about sf 72 we'll come back at the next disaster meeting could you put that on? from farmer's market >> and start out. the city might be the only thing we all have in common. that is our park. this is our park >> by living here we've all graced the life. even nature is ocean, >> the hills and the fault lines are san francisco too. so let's take care of the people >> let's take stock of our skills. >> let's not wait to find out how connected we are. together. together. together. >> so we're really excited about this campaign and basically, it's going to be a platform we can shire the existing resources we have we're moving away from you need to cut. you probably already have everything you inside in o

phillip, the talks in washington, d.c. where you are there on monday, after three years of going in wr, where will they actually tart -- start? >> because of those three years, they'll pretty much start in a no man's land. there is very little changed from the disagreements last time around. we will see a full day be talks on tuesday. talks to develop the procedural work plan on how to proceed in the coming months. in other words this is just a very first steppingstone to maybe lead to real peace negotiations further down the line. on that negotiating table will be the israeli justice minister, the palestinian chief goguor, not -- negotiator, not the likes of the prime minister. the real issues won't be discussed, the likes of the settlements building and the precise reasons why these negotiations stopped three years ago. >> even if, as you say, this is just a steppingstone to more negotiations, this is still seen as quite a victory for john kerry. what's he been doing to get this process going again? >> this is a bit of a

here in washington d.c. we think if we got people to respect each other more, think what's happening on the anacostia river. the initiative we started to get the focus of the country off of the mall. the other one was the engine to diversify our economy. the real reason was i remember was running for mayor and everybody asked me what he going to do to bring the city together? i couldn't really see having conferences and i couldn't see giving great speeches because i don't do that. what we are going to do is we are going to have a project that is real to everybody and meaningful to everyone and that anyone can get their hands on and work on and feel a sense of ownership. i think that is what the anacostia has been about. i think when you're at a local level and this is their point of view, when you are the local level you are more likely to find projects like that. when you're at the federal level at 60000 feet it's very hard to find a project that is tangible concrete that people on the local level on a comm

washington, d.c., it's smoking hot there, 106. in new york, at 100, but we do have a frontal system right now, it's already bringing some rain for areas right across parts of the upper midwest. and that means areas like milwaukee, chicago, grand rapids, you're going to see some relief once this front comes through and bring the thunderstorms with it and the relative humidity, it is going to be dropping. so here is going to be the forecast for today. looking at severe weather, anywhere in the burgundy shading. this is for friday. then for saturday for areas like pittsburgh. then were saturday night for areas like washington, d.c., as well as new york city. that means some of these thunderstorms could be potentially kind of strong. we're looking at a slight risk category for today and tomorrow, but here are the numbers and michael, this is how you know i'm not making this up. you can see the forecast. for friday and saturday, washington, d.c., you're going to be cool, but you're going to cool off on sunday as well as into monday the

the big respect to washington, d.c. judy is whether or not walmart will even move into washington as a result of this. they have six stores that are planned and they have basically said we may not, three of those stores which are under construction yet, may not happen. if they don't move in we're talking about the loss of hundreds of jobs maybe thousands. >>woodruff: david madland what do you say? >> it's hard to know exactly what walmart will do. but when cities and states raise their own wages, the best studies compare one adjacent county to another or adjacent state to another. they show that raising minimum wage have no effect on unemployment. studies also, when walmart comes to down, no effect on employment. they destroy some jobs of smaller competitors so there's no net impact on jobs here. the question really is whether walmart is going to pay a living wage so thattists employees and -- make a living wage not only walmart but other large retailers can pay a living wage. >>woodruff: stephen moore he is saying the
