tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN October 7, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm PDT
4:00 pm
>> we'll be looking for it. but tonight at 11:00 don will be anchoring cnn. thank you for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >> "outfront" tonight, breaking news. the fbi issuing and all-out alert for someone belonging to isis. and on the border of syria and turkey, a city could fall to isis within hours. but sparking fears of a massacre tonight. and he was a beloved tv man and now aaron collins receiving accusations of child molestation. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett and "outfront" tonight, the breaking news, the fbi in and all-out push to
4:01 pm
identify a masked terrorist seen in an isis video apparently carrying out a mass shooting. he speaks perfect english and the fbi wants the public's help to find him. find him before, they say, he will return to north america, probably to execute and attack. as a new isis video shows them getting closer to a border town. we told you about the town. it is called kobani. there were multiple airstrikes throughout the day and the night, they have been the most effective so far but it is much too little too late. there is fears of massacre if isis takes the town where 12,000 people are trapped tonight. with pamlea brown on the fbi global manhunt. this is a big step. we know he spoke english but this is specific and they are asking for help. >> the fbi is turning to public
4:02 pm
for help now after weeks of trying to figure out the identity of this isis terrorist. a law enforcement source tells me he could be an american and this reflects the concern in the intelligence community of not knowing americans who are fighting or want to fight with isis. >> we are the brothers that captured them. >> reporter: tonight the fbi is asking for the public's health for this jihady speaking in an isis video. for weeks the fbi has been using facial recognition and find out what the intelligence community has been watching. there are about a dozen americans currently fighting in syria but he is more worried about the americans not currently on his radar. >> i don't know what i don't know. >> reporter: the effort is part of a broader public appeal by the fbi to identify americans seeking to join gee audist groups fighting overseas. it comes on the heels of a
4:03 pm
19-year-old chicago man arrested on saturday. mohammed khan wasn't on the fbi list until recently. >> without this digital footpri footprint, i don't think this man would have come on our radar screen at all. >> reporter: the fbi said he was in contact with someone online and help him get into syria to fight with isis. when people arrested the man at chicago o'hare international airport, fbi agents were searching his house where his family members refused to talk to reporters. >> what should we know -- >> reporter: notebooks found in his home indicated he paid $4,000 for say round trip ticket, flying from chicago to vienna, ought rhea, and then into turkey. >> it tells me he was trying to evade getting caught by purchasing a round trip ticket versus a simple ticket versus than the el-cheapo ticket by not
4:04 pm
going direct so he is more likely than not, not raising a red flag for intelligence services. >> reporter: and khan is expected to be back in court for a detention hearing on thursday. we have reached out to his attorney once again today and have not heard back. >> pam, thank you very much. and as pam said, stunning development they are asking for the public's health on this. and now the new isis video showing fighters overlooking the crucial town of kobani. they say they will capture the city despite air strikes. jim sciutto is out front. and this comes down to the crucial airstrikes because it seems they are been ineffective from isis gaining more ground but they say that is not the whole point of the air strikes? is that what they are saying. >> i had a long conversation with an official about this, they said they are going after command and control, key infrastructure, the way it gets
4:05 pm
its money and selling oil and stuff like that, as much as a tragedy they are to watch, they are frankly not the focus and that goes for kobani or any number of cities under isis control or being threatened by isis. that is in syria. they say in iraq, gaining back that territory from isis is a priority, but when you look at the map, erin, you can see that that progress has not come very quickly either. >> you see those numbers. i was -- you have 271 air strikes in iraq, 116 in syria. that is a lot of airstrikes and a lot of money. >> $62 million, and that is just for the munitions and not including the airplanes or getting the people over there, et cetera. but lets look at a map. this is iraq before the airstrikes, 60 days ago. isis controlled 13 cities. so here is iraq. 60 days later, isis in control of 14 cities and towns, the one they've taken on is the town of
4:06 pm
hit, west of baghdad and between fallujah, that is detested between iraqi and isis forces. and in syria, you don't need a before and after photo because in syria, 15 days ago isis controlled ten cities and today it controls ten cities and c kobani looking like it may fall to isis. and that is a problem over time. but they can still accomplish the goal of degrading isis in syria without gaining back the grounds by keeping isis on the run, making it have to hide and move in smaller groups, destroying some of the infrastructure, the weapons, et cetera. but in terms of measuring success in territorial terms, it is frankly hard to see. >> it is very hard to see and hard to understand big picture how you can say you are gaining ground when the other side is gaining physical land and controlling towns and cities. thank you, jim. and joining me now is newt gingrich and president secretary
4:07 pm
burt oi milan. and you just heard jim. isis is gaining ground and officials are saying that is not the point. they are targeting things like supply trucks and is this a solid defense of air strikes that have cost money and ended up with the enemy gaining control? >> no. the objective fact is we're never going to defeat isis by air power. and that even to detype it as agreo -- define it as a geographic campaign when you have british and soerj fighters and when you have to worry about chicago and other cities, beheadings in great britain, this is a worldwide campaign. the administration doesn't understand it and doesn't get it and their efforts so far i think are really very sad. because we have the sheer power to do a lot of things, but if you dribble it out like this, to suggest they can capture this city and not gain a major moral boost, i think is utterly
4:08 pm
foolish. it is hard to imagine who is advising the president. >> and bill, will the president reconsider this issue of boots on the ground. leon panetta criticizing him today, as you know, boots on the ground are needed to determine the right targets for airstrikes. and he's been so categorical about this. and you know him, would you change his mind? >> the president will look at any situation as he develops to make the best decisions for advancing american interest. but for right now, the airstrikes are ongoing and they are having some successes and hitting the targets and the president and everyone in the administration has said from the get-go this is a long sustained effort. no one thought this would turn around overnight. people knew very well this was going to be months and months of in there in order to really make a dent. >> and bill, there was a lot of criticism and i just mentioned leon panetta and his book has come out and he spoke with
4:09 pm
gloria borger, and he spoke about the decision not to arm the syrian rebels two years ago. >> to a large except it wasn't that the president said no, we shouldn't do it. the president kind of never really came to a decision as to whether or not it should happen. >> what do you mean by that, never came to a decision? >> i think it basically sat there for a while and then got to the point where everybody just kind of assumed it was not going to happen. >> is that the right way to do things? >> i think it would have been far better had he just made the decision. >> and that is a criticism of the president's policies but more specifically of his leadership. he didn't make a decision. >> well, look, just for starters, on secretary panetta. he is a guy who had a long and storied career in washington and has really served his country well. and it is kind of sad that in the twilight he's done such a dishonorable thing by -- at a time -- by going after the president that he served at a
4:10 pm
time when a lot of instabilities around the world. i think if you ask the question, do you think that leon panetta's book helps or harms or interest or help or harm the credibility of this administration as the president is conducting the job of foreign policy and keeping our nation safe, it is hard to say yes. on the substance, this president has shown his leadership time and again. he's made some tough calls. he's advanced our interest in very real ways. he got osama bin laden. he got our troops out of afghanistan. he has moved this country in the right direction. and to attack his leadership i think is small and petty. >> and newt, let me ask you -- go ahead. >> look, wait a second. this is absurdity. secretary gates and secretary panetta, the two secretaries of defense, both felt that they owed the american people, not barack obama, the american
4:11 pm
people say report on how bad it is. i think it is disin jenuous to suggest there is something dishonorable about leon panetta who has served this country in many different ways under many different presidents somehow feeling he should tell the truth about his feelings and disagree -- >> speaker gingrich, keep in mind you thought he should resign in the middle of his time in office. >> sure. >> it is not that you have a glowing opinion of his leadership when he was in office. >> leon and i have had a lot of different fights over the years. but when you suggest that both gates and panetta, one and not the other, you would have a gate maybe. but if both secretary gates and binneta feel the national security problem is so bad, they have both written major books talking about how bad it is and there is something deeper than this. you use a term that is very revealing. you say we are going to dent isis. the administration talks about
4:12 pm
eventually degrading isis. we didn't dense nazi germany. >> speaker gingrich, when i said dent, that is not implying that is all we want to say about isis. my exact words, is it would take a while before we made a dent. the president has been clear that our role here is to degrade and eventually destroy isil, not to make a dent. so i wouldn't play the washington game of just taking out one word and making an argument around that. >> i will say, bill, you are saying the hit from leon panetta is significant and a quite final word from you, newt, someone a 16 year member of congress, chief of staff to clinton and served under president obama, this is a significant hit? >> it is a significant hit, coming on top of secretary gates and i think it will frankly shake a lot of americans to have two secretaries of defense say this president is not doing his job. >> thank you very much to both

breaking news tonight, the man at the center of america's ebola scare is in critical condition. thomas eric duncan is on a ventilator receiving dialysis. and there are questions whether he knew he had ebola when he boarded a train to the united states and put countless lives at risk and now the dallas county prosecutor is considering charges against him. ed lavender is out front in dallas. >> while thomas eric duncan fights for his life in this dallas hospital, prosecutors are deciding if there is enough
4:18 pm
evidence for filing charges against him for knowingly infect the public with ebola. so the question is did he know he was infected with ebola when he came to dallas. >> there must be some type of consequence when a person conducts that and comes with ebola. >> he answered no on a form asking if he had contact with ebola patients. but days before leaving liberia, he was said to help a pregnant woman who collapsed from ebola. cnn spoke with his sister. >> did he know she had ebola? >> no. >> many others around him are dead or seriously ill. five days after arriving in the united states, he turned up to a hospital and sent away with anti-biotics and to return three
4:19 pm
days later with full-blown ebola symptoms. some suggested duncan boarded the plane knowing he was infected to get help in the united states but his family insists this isn't true. >> i wouldn't believe my brother would come here knowing he had ebola. >> his half brother said duncan planned the trip and received his travel visa two weeks before. >> he said i got a visa and now i can come. >> he asked where his uncle got infected? >> he said he didn't know where he got it. and he said he didn't touch that woman and wasn't living in the area when that happened. >> texas prosecutors push ahead but some say it is overreaching by prosecutors and call it a difficult case to make. >> prosecutors would have to be able to prove that he knew he had ebola and he was acting recklessly in traveling and filling out health documents. i suspect they may not be able
4:20 pm
to prove that. >> thomas eric duncan is still listed in critical condition d connected to a ventilator. and while that is going on, prosecutors here in dallas said there is no timetable on if or when the charges will be filed. erin. >> ed, thank you. and now we are "outfront" from thomas eric duncan's home town in liberia. and duncan's nephew told me, my uncle was never near the pregnant woman with ebola and wasn't even living in that area, but i know you are on the ground and talked to several people on the ground who say that is not true? >> reporter: we've spoken to multiple witnesses who say they were dfrpg's friends and -- duncan's friends and neighbors. we spoke to officials here who have been tasked with contact tracing with every person in contact with marlene williams
4:21 pm
and they have thomas eric duncan's name down. i think it is important to be clear, nobody is implying that we've been speaking, that there was any malicious intent, that he intended to lie on the form. what they are simply saying is they don't believe he knew. and these are people quwan teened, whether or not he is unwell. they are living with these threats. they have no reason to lie. >> thank you very much. and as we said, on the ground tracking this down. "outfront" now, reverend jesse jackson. i know you are have been meeting with the family and speaking on bee half of the family. how is he doing? what is his condition right now? >> well erin, his blood pressure is back up, his diarrhea has slowed down and his liver numbers are better. he is still son medical sedation because of infection in his
4:22 pm
lungs and in his kidney. he is on dialysis. so he is still on the critical list, but in my judgment his signs are looking up. >> and i just want to say, you can still hear me. i know you are working on your ear piece so interrupt me if you can't. >> i heard you. >> and you just heard that the dallas county prosecutors are considering criminal charges against him and looking into this situation. did he intentionally and knowingly expose the public to the virus because cnn reported he was helping someone with ebola. the question is did he know she had ebola and that he was helping someone and checked on the form he had not done so. what is your reaction when you hear the possibility of criminal charges? >> i think it is a political head line that has no substance and can be an expensive move to find the proof. what we do know is he came to the country without any symptoms of ebola. and he went straight home to his
4:23 pm
fiancee and was about to get married. he came straight home to her, knowing he had a contagious disease. he got sick and came to the hospital with temperature and vomiting, and guess what, he was released back into the public with this disease. he came back and they tested him to get him some reasonable, sound medicine. >> and i want to talk about that. you talked to the family. he went to the hospital and i was talking to his nephew who said his accent is very thick. when he said he is from west africa, he said the hospital should understand that is somebody those should take very seriously. and they sent him home with motrin and an anti-biotic. do you think race is say reason why? >> i do not know why. and i know one treatment for americans in atlanta, and the treatment for the american in nebraska and another one for
4:24 pm
eric here in dallas, he came in as an african from west africa where there are protocols about that in all hospitals and he didn't have insurance and they sent him home with ebola. and which means he left here -- we don't know if he had it in liberia, but he did have it when he came here and came back in a worst condition. and in three days, they didn't know what to do and so he was on all of the drill and oxygen and sleeping. and now there is a real move to get proper medicine but we don't know how long the delay will cost him in terms of real damage to his body. we don't know. we have hope for the best. but we don't know. but the delay concerns me very much. >> reverend jackson, thank you very much. we appreciate your time tonight. as you said, the reverend is advising the family and meeting with the duncan family. up front, we know him as a

millions know him as the wholesome reverend and father on seventh heaven. tonight stephen collins is the target of a molestation case and tmz says he makes incriminating statements on an audio made by his wife during a therapy session. >> stephen collins has played many roles, including a cheating husband in the first wives club. and diane keaton's love interest in a movie called" because i said so." but he is perhaps best known as
4:30 pm
the pastor on the television show seventh heaven that ran from 1996 to 2007. in real life, collins is the target of an ongoing child molestation investigation from an alleged incident 40 years ago in new york city. no charges have ever been filed. but the investigation came to light on tuesday after tmz released an audio tape where it says collins made incriminating statements. according to tmz, the recording was made by his estranged wife faye grant during say counseling session two years ago. cnn was unable to determine whether it is his voice or whether it was edited. the nypd could not confirm or deny they heard the recordings. but his estranged wife said she woke up to learn an extremely private recording i handed over to the authorities in 2012, per
4:31 pm
their request, was recently disseminated to the press. i had no involvement whatsoever with the release of the tape to the media. where they once lived, the los angeles police department look into a case of collins criminal behavior and suspended the case since no one came forward. and he has offered toed from ted 2 and from the actor guild board. and now we reached out to his representatives and have not heard back from them. we heard from the manhattan prosecutor attorney's office and said this case cannot be prosecuted because it goes beyond the statute of limitations for a crime. >> thank you very much. and joining me now is a friend of stephen collins, bob roth and sex crimes prosecutor stacy
4:32 pm
hollow witz. and bob, your organization helps young people with stress and trauma and what is your reaction that your friend and former board partner is being alleged of child molestation. >> we hope it is not true. we are not clear if it is true. but if it is true, and he is friend to many people in america, then we hope he gets the help he needs to heal himself and his family. >> two years ago, i know he was on the nonprofit that you two worked on together that helped some children, handling stress and trauma. that is when tmz said his now estranged wife recorded the therapy session when he made the incriminating statements and they were specific. why did he tell you why he was resigning at the time? >> he didn't say anything. he called and said for personal reasons he needed to offered to and step down from his position of bringing medication to at-risk populations. it wasn't just kids, he helped raise funds to teach thousands
4:33 pm
of veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder to medicate and worked with women in homeless shelters and prisons. he just said he needed to step down for personal reasons. >> and when you hear that and he hear the reporting, are you surprised that a successful actor like collinss, who played the roles he plays and incredible career and handsome man, would you say he is being investigated for one of the most horrible of crimes. >> it is not surprising. i know nothing about the case other than what has been reported. when you are dealing with pedophelia or sexual crimes, people say oh, my god i can't believe this person did this. there is no profile of a pedo trial. it runs the gamut. there are no boundaries. anybody can be a victim or a perpetrator. while everybody is shocked because they know this individual and he is famous, it is not surprising that anybody,
4:34 pm
a doctor, a lawyer, a mortgage broker, an actor could be a pedophile. >> and stacy, just to do the math here and not getting into the details of the tape, but the specific case for which he is under investigation 40 years ago, he was 27. so nearly 30 years old and you are talking about a young girl, this is not -- it is not as if he was back at the point where he would have been a teen-ager or something himself? >> well, i mean you are -- what we needed to find out when we got the late report was that the statute of limitations has run and many times victims come forward much later in life and are afraid to talk about things but you do have to be careful because the law will say it is too late. you're not going to be able to do it. so in this case it has come forward. it was 40 years ago. the statute of limitations for the criminal act has run. that doesn't mean other people
4:35 pm
can't come forward and prevent any victims from coming forward if they believe that they have been molested. >> and bob, if this ends up being the case, how much will it shock you as someone who knows him personally and well? >> you know, i've been asked that question. and i know stephen well and faye and his family very much. i'm not sure it happened. erin, it is jumping the gun. i just go back to the statement i said. i hope it is not true. and i wish it wasn't true and if there is something to it, i hope and pray that stephen and his family do what it takes to heal themselves so they can restore the family unit. that is all i can say. i can't jump the gun. >> and of course there is them, and if it is the case, then there would be others involved too who would also need healing of course. >> absolutely. >> tmz is reporting it has this tape where he makes the specific incriminating statements. would that tape be admissible in
4:36 pm
court. part of the reason we are not playing it is we can't independently confirm it was edited or his voice. >> certainly you do need a voice identification expert and somebody has to say that is him on the tape. in certain places or certain tapes, it wouldn't be admissible. it was a surreptitious report, and she was under the direction of the police because someone told her to go in and tape the session. so we know that allegations came forward somehow. so the first thing would be to determine whether or not that is him on the tape and whether or not the evidence code in california would allow that tape to come in. >> all right. thanks very much to both of you. appreciate your time tonight. and next "outfront," breaking news, a major terror plot disrupted in scotland yard. what were those jihadists planning to do. and 239 people lost on board of a plane disappearing from the face of the earth, now a new

terror plot thwarted, four men under arrest in london. police there tonight saying this was related to islamic terrorism. nick robertson is live in london for us tonight. what have you learned? >> this may be a potential threat or plot that has been thwarted. that is what we understand at the moment. these four men arrested in the early hours of tuesday morning. one of them was tasered during the arrest operation with armed police presentation. no one was injured. they questioned them. two of them are 20, two of them are 21. they have been arrested on the suspicion of commissioning, preparing or instigating acts of terrorism, according to the metropolitan police chief harry london, this was a serious case and the police are taking a more interventionist approach and they are also saying that this has ties going back to iraq and syria, an indication -- an indication i say because they
4:42 pm
are not saying it specifically, but an indication there may be a connection with the isis group here. erin. >> and so what -- do they have any sense of what they may have been trying to do, specifically? >> reporter: the concerns at the moment are that -- and this is what we are hearing from other news media here in the u.k., at least one news organization has been briefed about the possibility of a plot on one of the threads of that plot may be that the police are following right now, may be concerned about beheading. and of course there have been the behead videos we've seen coming from isis and recently austria picked up men in sydney that were planning on beheading people on the streets of sidney. and this is one inquiry that at least one major news organization is being briefed by its sources in the u.k., erin.
4:43 pm
>> and it is one of the few things we are hering in the u.s. in light of something in oklahoma, something that is very frightening and real to people in a way it was not before. nick, do they have any sense of whether there is more to come? the fbi chief here in the u.s. telling 60 minutes, the problem is he doesn't know what he doesn't know. an attack could come as soon as people. the fear of just not knowing. >> that is a concern here. 500 young man, more than, have gone from syria to iraq to join isis. and the concern is they will come back. the arrest involves links to that organization. that is a suggestion. and they only have so many people and they can only watch so many different suspected terrorists for a given period. it takes a lot of resources. so to hear the helicopter police commissioner today to say they are taking a more interventionist policy means they are not prepared to sit and watch in the way they were in the past and that really speaks

it. >> i don't think we indict the first officer with that, but i do think it is something to note and to remember as we think about what might have happened. >> fariq had no known motive and no apparent reason to take down the plane. >> there was just no indication that there was anything going on in his life other than he had made it. >> joining me now is miles o'brien, you just saw a cnn aviation analyst. a four-month high ate us and now they are searching. some think maybe the plane will never be found. do you think it has what it take this is time to be successful and solve the mystery? >> it is going to take persistence, erin. it is a big hunk of ocean. they could get lucky. but they don't have a bull's eye drawn on a map. months ago we were talking about the amazing calculations, that amazing map that led them to this spot.
4:50 pm
it is not very precise. so it is interesting to see how well they do. it will take a long time, i'm afraid. >> and now the possibility of something new that you have a video showing something no one has seen before, how someone can gain access to the plane's electrical closet, for lack of a better term, my lay way of describing it. >> the emergency oxygen tanks for the pilots are here. and so are electronics and circuit breakers associated with every major system, radios, navigation devices, and the computers that are the brains of the aircraft. >> this is the place where you access the main computers. >> there is a device and you can basically do anything to the
4:51 pm
plane, load software, it can even remove control from the cockpit so that you can make the cockpit helpless. you don't even need to go into the cockpit. >> that's pretty incredible. you don't need to go into the cockpit to render the cockpit helpless. that's pretty amazing, miles. >> it is. surprised me frankly as i delved into this, erin, and the hatch to this compartment, this ee bay, where like the server room for the airplane is, is an open hatch that is near the first class galley. boeing will sell the airline a lock kit if they want it. but commonly this hatch is open. there is only a few airlines that have locked the doors. it is a security breach. is it easy to get in there and do this? no. but is it possible, yes? >> you're getting into who was not in the cockpit, on which we have all focused so much, but who was actually on the flight,
4:52 pm
whether it was a flight attendant or someone sitting on a plane. someone would have had the ability, the knowledge to do this. is that possible? >> you know what is interesting, you know, we have been thinking about the flight crew because of the apparent knowledge of aviation, which we saw in that flight path after it went off the radar screens. but, you know, someone who is an evianics technician would have the schooling and ability to go into this electric closet and dial up that keyboard and literally take control over that airplane or fail certain systems or pull the breaker for the cockpit door, the cockpit lock, and once it is deenergized, that cockpit door opens. >> and then obviously the game changes because our understanding is the door would have been locked here as it would have been on any 777, right? >> exactly. of course, we go to the issue of who the suspects would be, what the motive would be, and no one laid claim for hijacking here.
4:53 pm
so that's where this argument goes around in circles. it is one more thing to put on the plate. we can't take anything off the table, can we? >> no, i think that is one of the most incredible things about the story, why it still fascinates and i personally am still obsessed with it. thank you very much, miles. it airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. here on cnn. outfront next, a street fight in australia. you know, they got a lot of camels down there and a lot of roos and that is some aim. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪

so forget pepper spray for self-defense, kangaroo street fight will make you wish you had a tail. these guys have aim. here's jeanne moos. >> there is a rumble in the street. man, not two guys like that. two guys like this. ♪ no wonder the man who shot this put it to music from the nutcracker. that seemed to be where a lot of the kicks landed. two male kangaroos, boomers they're called, fighting for dominance or fun, suburban setting north of sydney, australia. it is not so much like boxing, but rather ultimate fighting. natgeo wild described it this
4:58 pm
way in the world's deadliest series. >> a favor tactic, using the forepaws to grip the opponent and then quickly kicking with the huge clawed hind feet. but if you want to see their coolest move, watch this. as he raises his legs to kick, freeze it, stands on his tail, momentarily supporting his whole body on that bony muscular tail. they fight like a silent pair of dinosaurs, from jurassic park. quiet, but deadly. a trained boxing kangaroo named killer willard took on his handlers during a demonstration at a cleveland tv station. >> wait a minute. this is my husband. >> reporter: now who is the last guy you would ever imagine boxing a kangaroo. >> you're going to watch me fight, australian light heavyweight champion. >> reporter: it is a young woody allen, seemed to mesmerize his opponent in the '60s variety
4:59 pm
show. woody threw a few pretend punches. the boomer lunged, had woody in his clutches, but no harm done. same goes for the brawl in australia. seemed pretty much a draw. one knockdown, but no knockouts. but who needs a leg to stand on when you've got a tail? jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> i want to know who won. it is like you watch that and you think, that is just amazing. you walk out on your street, your subdivision and there is kangaroos fighting. kangaroo tails can grow up to 3 1/2 feet long in addition to being strong enough to hold their whole nasty little bodies up. thank you so much for watching. we'll watch that video for the rest of the night. see you tomorrow night at 7:00. "ac 360" starts right now. >> good evening, thank you for joining us. breaking news on several fronts
