we are following the breaking news, an aircraft has crashed near seattle, washington after a mechanic stole it from a maintenance area at seattle's main airport. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. welcome to our viewers. the plane went down and we're happy to report no one was hurt or killed on the island, it is about 40 miles southwest of the airport, no buildings were hit when the plane crashed. and again people are safe that lived on that island.

the aircraft took off without authorization and without any passengers. the person at the controls of the plane has only been identified as a 29-year-old air mechanic from pierce county, washington. >> it is believed that the mechanic's lack of flying skills led to the crash. he is confirmed to have died in that crash. pierce county sheriff say this was not a terrorism-related incident. radio transmission between the pilot and the control tower was recorded and we get to hear a bet of bit of it right here. >> all right, rich, this is the captain. con xwragratulation congratulations, you did it. let's turn around the airplane and land it and not hurt anybody on the ground. >> i don't know, man. i don't want to. i was kind of hoping that was going to be it, you know. >> that was the man flying the plane right there, chilling to hear. we're also hearing from the horizon air chief operating

officer, she issued this statement a short time ago. >> good evening. i'm chorizon air chief operatin officer. i'm sorry to their that at approximately 8:00 a.m., one of our q400 airplanes made an unauthorized takeoff from s sea-tac airport. we believe that it was taken from a horizon employee and no other passengers or crew were on board. shortly thereafter, it crashed by south tacoma. our hearts are with the family of the individual aboard and as well as all of our employees. we will provide more information as it becomes available. >> eyewitnesses are speaking out as well. listen here as a family recalls exactly what they saw and heard. >> we were watching the sunset and like we saw all the planes

coming over us. and then -- so i was in their hot tub and we were like -- we were juhanging out and then we just heard that boom. and -- yeah. >> what did you think of that? >> we didn't know what it was. >> we thought it was something going on with mccord, that is our first thought. so we were sitting in the lounge chairs watching the sunset and we saw the plane. and then the jets going right behind it. and my first thought was they're doing something at mccord. and i'm like so late at night, you know. and then we heard a third jet. and then we kind of were -- sunset was done, we went up to the house, putting everything away down at the pool. and that is when they heard the boom. and i didn't hear that. but so then my husband kind of put it all together, was like, you know, he turned to the news or something and he's like that

was the plane. >> so you heard there they thought it had something to do with mccord, which is between olympia and tacoma. and military 1ye9 jets we now scrambled from portland, but they were not involved in the crash. >> but they were right there monitoring the plane and flying close to it. let's get more on this from mary s sciabo. it is fortunate no one was hurt in this situation. other people listening or stair gstair -- watching were terrified. but let's start with the communication between air traffic control and the mechanic flying a commercial airplane. it is chilling. he is worried about running out of fuel, concerned about getting into trouble. what do you make of the back and forth with the mechanic? >> quite a bit of conversation. clearly someone who was used to the airport, used to i think the

plane. i don't think this was the first flight certainly. and the communications back and forth with the tower at one point asking if there were other pilots on the line, asking about what kind of chop he would get into over the mountain areas. this went on for quite a period of time and it did emso liseem e air traffic controller had some familiarity with them. so as the picture becomes, you know, more and more flushed out, this is someone who was familiar with the airport. you know, you almost are tempted to say it was someone who kind of snapped because he clearly enjoyed the flight, enjoyed the role and loop that he performed, sounded anyway, surprised that he was able to do that loop. that is difficult do especially in a twin engine aircraft that is not made do that.

and it sheds a lot of light. >> and many people heard the clip that we just played, but i want to play a bit more of it. obviously viewers here in the u.s., many people just waking up again for this plane that was stolen from sea-tac airport hours ago. let's listen to a bit more of that radio transmission between the mechanic and air traffic control. >> yeah, that is all -- i have no idea what all that means. i wouldn't know how to punch it in. i'm on autopilot. >> i'm keeping you you awu you aircraft trying to land at sea-tac. >> yeah, i don't want to screw with that. i'm glad you're not screwing up everyone else's day. on account of me. i'm down to 2100. i started like 30 something.

>> rich, you say you are at 2100 pounds of fuel left? >> yeah. i don't know what the burnout is like on takeoff, but yeah, it burned quite a bit faster than i expected. >> so just listening there to the tone of this conversation, mary, it is bizarre, right, to say the least. it is not confrontational. it seems that the mechanic is having a good time saying, hey, i hope it doesn't mess things up for others. bizarre, right, to i a the lesa least. >> and what does it say about how he was able to get up in the airplane in the first place? >> well, and that is very typical because at airports all over the world, i mean mechanics have the ability to taxi the aircraft. they are qualified for that, that is one of the things that they are allowed do.

you have to separately qualify, be able to run and taxi the aircraft. and sos as i understand in this case, they had taxied it over to a maintenance parking area. and so once at that point, i mean he had the ability to move the plane, he knows how to taxi the plane. to me it sounded like even from the very early clips when we saw the loop and the turn, it looked like he had some experience flying. but here it is almost like he is experimenting, almost like he is doing a science project and talking to the air traffic controller as he experiments with this aircraft. and clearly hadn't thought the ending through because after the barrel roll -- or after the loop what he said i thought that would be it, i don't know. to me it just sounds like someone that snapped. >> yeah, and you mention that mechanics do test these airplanes as they are known to taxi at airports.

but what would the scene be when the ground control, the tower, airport police, realize this person is taking off in a commercial plaenlne? >> well, very concerned, upset, all sorts of alarms would be going off. but there is very little that they can do. the key is who has access to the planes. because you once you're in it and once you know how to start it and taxi it, there is very little that anyone can do to keep you from taking off other than put like you see in hollywood movies, they can put vehicles on the ground in front of the taxi area, but they wouldn't be expecting that because this person was obviously in -- had the taxi approval. he could taxi planes at the airport. so once he decides to move off the taxi area and into position on the runway, the controllers were doing the best they could to make sure he didn't interfere with traffic in the air because

obviously he could have caused a disaster in the air, although all modern passenger aircraft have automatic avoidance equipment on it. we don't know what he had turned on this plane, but the controllers had to keep not only him and others safe on the ground, but once in the air, they had to keep him away from everybody else. >> and there is so much focus and attention on security, people going into airports, passengers getting on to planes. but look, this really raises another question, another issue that certainly will be flushed out as this investigation is under way. mary schiavo, thank you so much for being with us and we'll keep in touch. again, in breaking story of course we'll continue to follow it here on cnn. another major story to tell you about as this weekend pushes forward, a very grim anniversary. in charlottesville, how that city traumatized by racists, white nationalists, nazis. how it is preparing for this

weekend, this weekend marks one

year since the violence racist rallies hit the city of charlottesville, virginia. [ sirens ] and here we are again. the city is on edge as it prepares for a weekend of more possible protests one year on. the state's governor has even gone as far as declaring a state of emergency. >> that's right, and police are stepping up security. they are closing roads ahead of the anniversary of violence in that city, the day that one person who was protest being the white nationalists was killed. on sunday, white nationalists and right wing groups plan to come together in washington for what they call a white civil rights rally. cnn's randi kaye reports. >> reporter: this was the scene one year ago this weekend in charlottesville, virginia. dozens of white nationalists carrying torches and shouting racist chants.

the protest was in response to the charlottesville city council's plan to remove a statue of robert e. lee from a nearby park. officers were hoping the rally would be peaceful. they were wrong. by morning, fist fights and screaming matches broke out before the rally even started. some neo-nazis carried guns and chanted white lives matter. both sides fired pepper spray. police desperately tried to disperse the crowd declaring it an unlawful assembly. by early afternoon, police were in riot gear. it turned deadly when around 1:30 p.m., a man drove a dodge challenger into a crowd of people. >> the car lining up and gunning the engine to do maximum damage on the crowd. he smashed in to the crowd, bodies flying. >> reporter: ryan kelly took these photos. >> he came barreling down at

full speed into the crowd, immediately put it in reverse and reversed at speed back up the mi hill. >> reporter: when it was over, heather heyer was dead, dozens of others injured. >> i saw a woman dumb link down -- tumbling down on my windshield and landing there. i kind of like closed my eyes because i didn't know what i was seeing was real. >> i remember heather heyer being on the ground near the back of my sister's car there were emts all around her, but i remember particularly the emt that was giving her cpr at the time, he was using all of his might, all of his force to try and revive her. >> reporter: the driver of the car that plowed into the crowd was arrested and charged. he has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. that same day, two state troopers were killed when their helicopter crashed while patrolling the area.

in response to it all, president donald trump didn't denounce the hate group involved. instead, he said this -- >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides. >> reporter: the backlash was swift, yet three days later, the president doubled down on his remarks. >> you look at both sides. i think there is blame on both sides. >> heather heyer -- >> they showed up at charlottesville -- >> excuse me, you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> reporter: the images seem to tell a different story. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> it was such a horrible day

for our country. and so far president trump is ignoring the charlottesville anniversary, at least on twitter. he is actually tweeting criticism of some athletes who are making a quiet protest about race relations in this country. on friday mr. trump condemned a small group of u.s. football players who kneeled during the national anthem. >> the president accuse us them of showing fake outrage for something they can't define, but the athletes are explicitly calling attention to racial injustice an inequality in the united states. they say the way mr. trump is handling it is making the whole problem worse. now, from dog whis i will statements to comments that seem to give the racist groups a pass, it seems that white nationalists are now emboldened to spread their extremist views. >> we have one example. sara sidner has a story of one town that is struggling to figure out how to confront a neighbor who is a knee owe neo

nazi. >> reporter: in the koum of this rural pennsylvania town, the sign hate lives here. are you a knee owe nazi? >> do i embrace it? i don't try to push it away. >> reporter: you're wearing a swastika on your shirt and you've got swastika flags. >>flags, why the shirt, why the hateful symbols? >> i don't think they are hateful. i think it is an ideology that has been completely m misinterpreted since the third reich. >> reporter: i have to stop you. misinterpreted? 6 million jews were killed. >> no, you will never sell me on that. >> reporter: i'm not trying to sell you. it is reality, it is history. daniel burnside is a light thing rod of ulysses, pennsylvania. his town is getting attention it does not want. >> rural america spoke up when they elected trump. rural america. >> reporter: and by rural america, he means white america. >> we're staring don't barrel of

a gun here in white america. there is still 193 million white americans. yes, the vast majority of them are in their 60s and 70s, will be in the ground in the next 20 years. and therefore we have the possibility of becoming a minority in our own country. a possibility of becoming a minority. >> reporter: sounds to me like you're afraid of being me. >> this is my country. >> reporter: being me -- this is also my country. >> you didn't win the culture war. >> reporter: he invited us on his property to talk, but when he doesn't like our conversation, he explodes. >> get the [ bleep ] out of here now. >> reporter: we do. just down the street, we're met by a dozen residents who say burnside does not speak for this town. >> there are families in this county that blame politics for people like him sort of being able to come out and be very loud. is that fair? >> the president we've got right now hasn't helped the situation a whole lot. you know, he's done a lot of the same beliefs, you know, won't speak against him.

this guy feeds off that stuff. >> reporter: among the crowd, many with fathers and grandfathers who fought the nazis. >> we are good people and he is stepping on all of us. we're all one tribe. and who does he think he is. >> reporter: teacher debbie hamilton says she just returned from touring concentration camps in poland. >> one thing that we talked about was passive resistance versus active resistance. >> reporter: so far they have chosen passive resistance with burnside. on the other side of potter county, joe and his wife are convinced passive resistance is the wrong choice. >> i'm not saying you should go to their houses with pitch forks and guns, you know. i'm saying hold a peaceful protest against them. >> reporter: after seeing kkk flyers appearing in their neighborhood, and burnside's decorations in their county, joe did protest. only to receive a threat by one of the supremacists he stood against. >> they would look at me and

give me the finger and even make little gestures like they were going to shoot me. >> reporter: joe says the racial hatred intensified when his jamaican bride arrived. >> in walmart, i get a lot of that [ bleep ]. >> reporter: in their hinds if more people stood up against hate, the racists would be forced to leave and let love stand. sara sidner, cnn, ulysses, pennsylvania. let's bring in our pop culture journalist jarrett hill joining us from los angeles. thank you for your time. looking at that piece from sara sidner, it shows examples of hate that seem to be more overt and this weekend hate will be on parade in the nation's capital. i've got a 3-year-old son and i worry about what he sees and what he hears on a weekend like this, but what are your thoughts about the feeling and the tone of hate in america right now? >> i think we have to really pause ourselves for a moment and think about the fact that we're having a frank uncomfortable

contentious conversation with nazis on a regular basis right now because the president of the united states is not everyone comfortable saying like what they are saying is bad, what they are doing is wrong, the things that they believe are not american values. and we're having to take these ideas very seriously because they are coming from all over the place. and we're in a time right now where all of these kinds of ideas are -- people with these ideas are feeling empowered to say whatever it is that they want to say and go to washington, d.c. on the one year anniversary of charlottesville. i think it is really, really terrible despicable time for us in america. >> and what is unexpected at this point, what is to happen could happen in charlottesville and what we know will happen in washington, d.c. this weekend, question ha we have to go back one year to the days after the violence when asked to clarify the false equivalence that he suggested, mr. trump, between protesters and nazis, again nazis that lost

world war ii, here is what mr. trump had to say back then. >> excuse me. excuse me. you had some very bad team in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> that was then and now this is now. here we are a year later, what do you expect? >> i have the very lowest of expectations and the highest of hopes. i think that this president has shown us time and time again that we can't rely on him to be our moral compass. he's shown us that we can't rely on him to be a sounding board for what is logical or what is reasonable, what is even comfortable to america in a time where we have nazis that are literally coming to washington, d.c. to protest or to celebrate or to commemorate what happened in charlottesville. >> there has not been a peep out of the white house.

it does seem their strategy is to wait and see if they are forced to do so. but how important is it in your view for the president of the united states to make a clear statement denouncing these hate groups? >> to be very honest with you, i think it would be really great if the president came out and said i don't believe this, i don't believe in this, i don't affirm this behavior, but i don't even know that i would buy it at this point. we've sat with donald trump since june of 2015 '2015 as a presidential candidate and even before that with the birtherism and all those things. so him coming out right now and saying this is bad or, oh, they shouldn't be doing this, i don't even know that i could buy it at this point because we've had so much come before it. he's had so many opportunities come before that he has walked by and not said anything. i don't even know that i would be able to embrace it or accept it as something that would be genuine because it would be so countered to everything that has come before it. although this is a president who is known for saying things that are directly contradictory to the previous thing that he said

before. >> mr. trump again turning attention to football players kneeling, he says it is about disrespecting the flag and soldiers which rallies his base. we know however those protests whether one agrees with them or not are really about highlighting social injustice. but let's listen to mr. trump as he leans in on the rallies his . >> get that [ bleep ] off the field right now. >> given the tone of what you just heard there, given what we know could happen this weekend, do you see this president as having the ability to pull a nation together on such a critical issue like race? >> i wish that i even believed that was a priority for this president. i don't believe that this president cares about that. i think this president has shown us since the day he took office or everybody t or even the day of the election that he had no interest of

meeting people in the middle, of even having a dialogue with people who did not vote for him. he has shown us that loyalty to him and loilgity to him looks like being at the ballot box and voting for him. loyalty to him means affirming everything he does and praising him when you are in person with him. we have seen that time and time again that his priorities lie with those people. so the idea that he would come out and say something or try to unify us is something that is so far -- that is so beyond the reach i believe of this president that it is hard to even really expect that from the president. and it is really difficult because in times like this where we know a major protest like this is about to happen, these are times when we're nervous about what could happen. and this isn't even a president that we could to urn to to comft us should something go wrong. >> jarrett hill, thank you so much for your time and perspective. >> sure thing. again in washington, d.c., they are expecting to see neo

nazi rally happen there. not sure what happens in charlottesville. but what we typically see are more people come out to protest against them. >> exactly. and that is when things go awry. of course we'll be covering this weekend. our top story, a commercial airplane is stolen in seattle. we'll play the air traffic control official trying to get the man in the cockpit to land the plane for you as we come back here. my name is jeff sheldon, and i'm the founder of ugmonk.

>> and i'm george how will ouel. a turbo prop plane crashed after a mechanic stole it from the sea-tac airport. >> an unreal story. it could have been so much worse. ment plane did go down on ketron island southwest of the airport killing the pilot. a few people live on that's land. thankfully no one on the ground was hurt. the aircraft took off without authorization and thankfully as well without any passengers on that plane. >> and here is what we know about the person at the controls. only identified as a 29-year-old horizon air mechanic from pierce county, washington. this according to officials. we also just received some of the radio transitions from the tower. apparently the mechanic on that plane making some really dangerous stunts there, surprising that he could do it.

let's listen. >> all right, rich. this is the captain. congratulations. you did that. now let's try to land that airplane safely and not hurt anybody on the ground. >> all right. i don't know, man. i don't know. i don't want to. i was kind of hoping that was going to be it, you know. >> in that clip you get a sense of the tone of this mechanic who stole that aircraft from sea-tac. we understand that military jets scrambled from portland, oregon during the incident, but it does not appear that these jets were involved in the crash itself. >> we still don't know how it crashed or why it crashed. he indicated that he was worried about fuel. the pierce county sheriff is also stressing this was not linked to terrorism. let's get more analysis now from a former accident investigator for the national transportation safety board and for the faa. he is on the phone from new mexico. the conversation really between the tower and this mechanic

flying this plane is chilling. and you can certainly understand the measured reaction with the control tower there just trying to encourage him to land this plane. what do you make of it? >> well, natalie, i certainly agree this controller almost sounds like a hostage negotiator, like an fbi trained hostage negotiator. he is talking to the guy, trying to calm him down, trying to get him to land. at one point he talks about landing at a military base there. he was only like a mile away at that time. and the mechanic said that i guess it would be jail for life. so at different times when you listen to all of the recordings that have been released, it sounds like he goes almost bipolar where he is happy at one time and then he is talking about disappointing people on the ground and jail for life and

so on. so it is bizarre to say the least. and of course this is one of the best arguments for effective employee assistance programs. as you know, i'm a research psychologist, not a therapist, but i just wonder if anybody with horizon even suspected that this guy was going unstable. >> right, because mechanics don't even get the scrutiny we've been hearing from aviation officials that passengers get. >> and certainly you would imagine in the investigation they will be speaking with his colleagues, people that work with him, to get a sense of who he was, trying to get in to his mind. but alan, let's listen to a bit more of that audio. because again, getting a sense of the tone of this he cmechani his feeling about stealing a plane from sea-tac. it is bizarre to i a tsay the l. let's listen.

>> yeah, that is all -- i have no idea what all that means. i wouldn't know how to punch it in. i'm on autopilot. >> not taking any jets. i'm actually trying to keep you away from any aircraft trying to land at sea-tac. >> yeah, i don't want to screw with that. i'm glad you're not, you know, screwing up everyone else's day. on account of me. i'm down to 2100. started like 30 something. 2100 pounds of fuel. >> you're at 2100 pounds of fuel left? >> yeah. i don't know what the burn -- burnout is like on takeoff, but, yeah, it burned quite a bit faster than i expected. >> so again, we heard from this mechanic on the plane there, you get a sense of how he felt about stealing a plane from sea-tac,

flying it, taking it for what seems to be a joy ride in his mind. but here is the bigger question at this point. a mechanic who stole a plane. we understand that mechanics, many of them have what is called run and taxi qualification meaning that they can take a plane, they can move it along the taxi way, you know, that is within the realm of their ability. so do you think that that will be scrutinized a bit more given what we saw happen at sea-tac? because it does seem now like a security issue. >> that is very interesting. al lats caaska airlines just mio go announced that he technically wasn't a mechanic, he was a ground service person who helped -- one of those guys that helps direct the arn airplanes parking and deicing them. so he actually didn't have what they call an amp, airplane and power plant license. >> wait just a minute.

repeat that again. >> he's not a mechanic? >> alaska airlines has announced that he was a ground service agent i believe is the exact words they used. i just heard this maybe in the last hour. but basically he is a service personnel who has access to the aircraft, your point. and i think that there will have to be more scrutiny on this. but clearly other than perhaps better employee assistance programs -- now, i do believe -- i know mechanics, controllers and pilots all have to go through random drug testing. that is one of the things that occurred to me. this guy almost sounds like he might be high on something at times in those recordings. but employee assistance programs are critical. but other than that, i just don't know how you can -- i

guess you could put locks on all the aircraft and control the keys somehow. i'm in a military flying club and we did that with our little cessnas. i guess it would be feasible on bigger airplanes, but i just don't know if that is in the works. but i'm sure they will be looking at that and clearly the fbi will lead this investigation, ntsb will be assisting them. but one thing i would say, one of the great mysteries is did he actually want to commit suicide. depends on where in that tape, where in the tapes that have been released you are listening as to whether or not he has decided this is not going to end well and he may be contemplating suicide. but the black boxes will probably be able to tell whether or not he pushed the nose over of the aircraft and, you know, literally ended the flight or was it some kind of

mismanagement of the controls and therefore an accident. >> alan passing along some information that we will of course need to confirm through our sources here at cnn. but suggesting that this is not a mechanic. and that is really important. that is why i stopped you there in your tracks. because again this is a person, you know, mechanic would typically have that run and taxi qualification. so if that is not the indicate -- >> that means this person somehow knew how to takeoff the runway and take this airplane into flight. so we'll continue to -- of course so many questions to be answered. thank you so much. >> it is evolving obviously. but even a ground service agent would have access and a ground controller and tower would not know whether this guy is a pickic or ground service agent. so if he said 50i789 i'm going to taxi the runway in for maintenance purposes, i can't manage that they would --

>> would have access, but the question is ability. that is the surprise here. so alan, thank you for being with us. we'll of course continue to wait as authorities pass along information. and certainly we will be tracking that information down as well. thank you for your time. saudi arabia promises an investigation into an air strike in yemen that killed dozens of children on their way to a camp. >> the very latest on that tragic incident is coming up after this short break. you've tried moisturizer after moisturizer but there's one... that blows them all out of the water. hydro boost water gel from neutrogena®. with hyaluronic acid it goes beneath the surface to plump skin cells from within and lock in hydration leaving skin so supple, it actually bounces back. the results will blow you away! hydro boost and our gentle exfoliating cleanser from neutrogena®

the saudi-led coalition in yemen says it will open its own vision into an air strike thursday that hit a school bus filled with children. >> the u.n. security council is demanding a, quote, credible transparent investigation. the coalition defended the air strike as a legitimate military operation against houthi rebels. the bloodied battered bodies of

dozens of small children, they tell a very different story. >> absolutely. when is it okay to hit a school bus? we must warn you the images you are about to see are horrible, but there is no sanitizing the reality of what is happening in yemen. a war that has been virtually ignored. here is our nima elbajir with more. >> reporter: there are new images emerging from yemen, images that really bring home the heartbreak of the aftermath of the strike by the saudi-led u.s. backed coalition. the first video shows a father living through every parent's worst night mayomare, desperate trying to find where his son is. and this video, this tells the opposite side of that heartbreak, a father finding his

son's body. the absolute and utter heartbreak in that man's voice brings to life what so many of those parents are struggling to life through, this as the united nations children's fund unicef released a statement saying this was the single worst incident so far targeting children in yemen's three year ongoing civil war. a war between the saudi-led coalition and iranian backed houthi rebel militias. with the support of both the u.s. and the uk and in many cases their armaments, president donald trump back in june was touting a $110 billion arms deal, and many observers believe that that is why while there has been limits calls for investigation notably by the u.s. state department, but also

by the u.n. secretary-general, there hasn't been the outrage that would be expected in the face of such incident. even while parents were struggling to bury their dead, the air strikes in yemen continue. eyewitnesses tell cnn that in just one district alone, there were 21 air strikes through to the morning after the attack. the war it seems continues and humanitarian agencies are worried that with it will continue the suffering of children. nima elbajir, cnn, london. s wasn't my top priority. until i held her. i found my tresiba® reason. now i'm doing more to lower my a1c. i take tresiba® once a day. tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction.

a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! welcome back. the u.s. president admits that relations with fellow nato member turkey are, quote, not good at this time. and here is why. the united states is increasing tariff s on turkish steel and aluminum. >> and take a look at the effect on the lira. it has plummeted as much as 17% to an all-time low versus the dollar as a result of this. and that prompted president recep tayyip erdogan of turkey to ask his citizens to exchange any dollars, euros or gold that

they have into lira. the increase comes as the uts.s demands turkey release an american pastor, turkey releases andrew brunson of having ties behind a coup attempt. they have not released him as a relate. let's get response to this from steven e steven urlinger. what do you make of this situation? >> you are right that it is strange, that we'll start using sanctions against ally, it will make our friends very nervous. trump is angry at erdogan, he thought he had a deal for brunson to be released. vice president pence who is an evangelical is very wrapped up in the brunson case as is secretary of state pompeo. and trump feels erdogan broke

his word and did not release brunson. so he is retaliating trying to force turkey to bend and release brunson. there are other americans also being held, but brunson seems to be the case here. it is a sharp use of american economic power just as with iran. >> what could be the ramifications, where does this put the u.s. and turkey relationship? it was already rocky before this. >> well, it was rocky. and it was rocky for lots of reasons. one is erd with ogan is increas authoritarian, he has been asking for the extradition of a man called gulan in pennsylvania who he believes is behind the coup which may or may not be true. and the turks have been cozying up to the russians. and turks are also very angry with the americans supplying arms to kurds in syria who the

turks regard as terrorists who want to break away from parts of turkey too. so it is a complicated mess, but it is coming to a real issue for nato i think. >> yes, that will be very interesting how nato responds for this situation. the currency as we mentioned has plumm plummeted, so turkey's economy is faltering. could this hurt other countries? >> it certainly could because there are a lot of european banks who have loaned money to turkey. turkey already needs help from the imf. its economy has been tanking before this. it has too much debt and the economy has been slowing down. so that the other issue, the other leverage is the imf itself as the americans can either help turkey through the imf or can block the imf from helping turkey. so the eu is also watching it.

european central bank is also a little nervous about what is going to happen with the loans from european banks. >> steven erlanger, thank you for your analysis. we'll continue to for him the story of course. the day's top stories and breaking news on the west coast just ahead here. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. we'll be right back. this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999, intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts. so you wake up ready to train for that marathon. and now, save up to $500 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. ends wednesday.
