11:00 pm
i've never seen such a bright yellow butterfly. >> i don't remember seeing a lot of butterfliest your house at all. >> no. d it was big. it was so vibrant. it was just hovering around for the longest time. kind of crazy. /s >> a boeing 737 plane has crashed in the sea near jakarta, indonesia. 189 people on board. we are following the very latest in the search efforts. that ahead. >>plus, a cit in mourning. we remember the synagogue shooting in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. one of them was 97 years old. >> also ahead this hour, brazil elects one of its most polarizing politicians, the man known as the trump of the tropics, to be that nation's next president. >> hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from across the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell from cnn world headquarters in
11:01 pm
atlanta. newsroom starts right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> and following the breaking news this hour, a passenger plane has crashed at sea. here's what we know at this point. authorities say that the plane belongs to lion air. it is flight 610. that plane crashed into the sea of jakarta. 189 people on board, including childr. the plane vanished from radar just minutes after taking off on its way to panko panong. >> they sent boats, helicopters and 130 rescuers to that crash site. they are working on the assumption that the plane sank, and they are taking equipment to find an under water locator beacon. will ripley.wing the latest with
11:02 pm
the process of recovering parts of this plane already started. what can you tell us? >> reporter: hi, george. we got an update from indonesian auorities who tell us they are now on scene or on the way to the scene. 34 nautical miles off the coast of jakarta, some 300 rescue personnel. we have seen images coming in of divers in the water. there are pieces of the plane being recovered, as well as some of the items that the passengers were believed to have been carrying, including a cell phone, life vests, back packs, the kind of things people would take on a flight like this. a short flight just about an hour or so. it was scheduled to be in the air. although as you mentioned, just minutes after take off, apparently the pilots asked to turn around and go back to the airport. tha thats was just before the plane dropped off the radar. it only reached an altitude of 5200 feet. radar shows before it disappeared from the screens it made a pretty drastic drop. obviously what that means, and based on the images we're seeing
11:03 pm
of what appears to be fuel and debris in the water, this is not looking good for the 189 people on board. 181 passengers and eight crew members, two infants, one child. the kind of thing, when you look at the passenger manifest, it always breaks your heart when you think about something like this. people get on a flight, short flight, think nothing of it. never expect obviously something like this is going to happen. this was a relatively new plane. lion air purchased this boeing 737, a new model, just this past august. it only had 800 flight hours. there were thunderstorms in the general area, but not in the immediate vicinity where the plane went down. they were able to avoid the lightning and whatnot. so it really is at this point a mystery. and until they recover the black boxes, including the flight data recorder, investigators are not going to know what happened. was listening earlier to sound from an aviation expert telling us, though, pilots requested to
11:04 pm
turn around but didn't declare a catastrophic emeency at that point, perhaps they thought the issue on board was something they could fix, and obviously sadly, that does not appear to be the case. so obviously we are waiting to get more information. it is comin in minute by minute. we have seen some photos as well of family members gathering at the airport in jakarta. obviously, as you can imagine, just a devastating time for them, and i'm sure they're just clinging to hope that perhaps somewhere in that debris there could be somebody found, a survivor and whatnot. based on those images of the mangled pieces of the plane, it's not looking good. >> will, when you think about the families at this point, you know, the concern that they have, the uncertainty as to what happened to this plane, of course, we'll continue to learn more with you and authorities. will ripley live for us in hong kong. thank you, will. >> and john joins us on the phone from seattle. he is the editor in chief for the air current, a digital publication about aviation.
11:05 pm
thank you so much for being with us. so, john, we know the crash occurred about 20 minutes after take off from jakarta, and the boeing 737 only climbed to an altitude of out 5,200 feet. from what you have been able t piece together, what do you think may have happened here? >> you know, it's way too soon to tell. obviously these investigations take months, if not years, depending on how investigators -- what information investigators have at their disposal. getting the black boxes, examining debris, looking at radar tracks. now there is this immediate scramble to lockdown any and all information about what may have actually happened to the 737. so, that's really the priority. as the skpch rescue tea-- searc and rescue teams get on-site, recover the remains of passengers and crew and also collect black boxes, other evidence, to really piece this together. what we have so far is an
11:06 pm
external radar track from group like flight radar 24 which show this erratic flying, and the maximum climb of 5,200 feet. right now it's pretty limited in terms of being able to draw any kind of conclusions, but certainly in the hours and days to come we're going to know more. >> indeed. but we do understand that the pilot or pilots requested to turn back to jakarta, but there was no indication that that was done. what do you think that might signal? >> well, it certainly tel you that whatever happened didn't happen instantaneously. and certainly the crew was aware that something was wrong and needed to react and get back as quickly as possible. whether or not we have information at this point -- we're not sure whether or not there was an official emergency declared or what the circumstances around the radio calls were. you know, certainly, like i said, that is going to be something to be examined in the
11:07 pm
hours to come. now we have a scant amount of information to draw conclusions off of. what we do know is that this is a brand-new airplane,ust delivered several weeks ago from here in seattle -- actually, i saw it othe flight line unpainted actually before it was delivered. that was in late july. so, just to give you a sense of how new this airplane is to ryanair's fleet, it is quite unprecedented to have an accident this close to a delivery of an aircraft. certainly delivery of a new aircraft type like the boeing 737 max. >> it is very strange. and, of course, we see those pictures there of the search and rescue teams theret the site, and we know that families and loved ones are waiting for news. it is a tragedy. we will continue to watch and follow this story. john austral, thank you for lending us your expertise to this subject. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> now to the very latest in the
11:08 pm
deadly shooting at a synagogue here in the united states, the u.s. attorney general in pittsburgh says he intends to pursue the death penalty for the suspect in that case. the suspect, the man you see there, robert bowers, he is accused of killing 11 people on saturday. the anti-defamation league, the a.d.l., calls it the deadliest attack on a jewish community in the united states history. >> pittsburgh hosted an inter-faith vigil on sunday to honor the victims. its mayor vows the city won't tolerate hate. >> let me tell you something about pittsburghers. we're tough. we are proud of our blue collar roots, and we're not the type of people that react to threats or actions in a way that ever takes back from us. we will drive anti-semitism and the hate of any people back to the basement, on their computer, and away from the open discussions and dialogues around this city, around this state and around this country.
11:09 pm
[ applause ] >> we're a resilient people. we will work together as one. we will defeat hate with love. we will be a city of compassion, welcoming to all people, no matter what your relation or where your family came from on this earth or your status. [ applause ] >> and we are also learning more about the 11 victims. they ranged in age from 54 to 97. all were taken too soon. cnn's sarah sidner has more on how they are being remembered. >> 75-year-old joyce fine berg of oakland. 75-year-old richard got freed of ross -- >> reporter: the names of the victims read out so the world will kw who they are. >> i have no words. i'm shaking inside. i'm shocked. >> reporter: susan knew three of the dead, including brothers david and cecil rosenthal. >> the victims need to be talked
11:10 pm
about a lot. they can't talk for themselves any more. cecil was tall, david was small. they stood proud at the front door, at the door that was open into the sanctuary, whichever sanctuary it was, they just stood there. hello. they gave you a book. or they said hello, or they said good shabbaz. they were like the ambassadors. >> reporter: she and susan blackman also lofst their famil doctor, jerry rin owitz. >> i can't imagine a world without him. jerry, when you see him, your eyes light up. and he's gone. >> reporter: robin bloom freidman is a member of theree of life synagogue. she cannot remember a time when 97-year-old rose mallinger was not there. >> spry.
11:11 pm
vibrant. just, just, you look at her, she had a lot of years left. she -- you know, and to have this happen is -- i heard the age this morning, and the tears came. she and her daughter went that morning, maybe expecting to go home and have lunch afterwards together. and it's not something we'll ever be able to wrap our heads around. >> reporter: each of them had come to pray and celebrate together on the sabbath, when hatred entered their synagogue. >> tall white male, short hair, light blue shirt, jeans. >> reporter: the police dispatching the suspect's description as they geared up for a gun battle. >> we have a police dog. four down in the atrium. we need armor. >> reporter:he suspect had walked into a place set aside for peace with guns and a mission to kill jewish people, and succeeded. >> this is the mostorrific
11:12 pm
crime scene i've seen in 22 years with the federal bureau of investigation. >> reporter: the suspect later telling police he wanted to kill all jews, according to court documents. in the end, it would be the deadliest attack against jews in america according to the antidefamation league, more dead than you can count on two hands, ansix wounded, including four police officers. >> you know, you have a situation here where you have disturbed minds with hate in their heart and guns in their hands. >> reporter: the deadly shooting sending a wave of sorrow across pittsburgh and the world. drawing thousands together to mourn. >> we are like a hand. >> we are like a hand. >> with various fingers connected. >> with various fingers connected. >> so when one finger hurts -- >> so when one finger hurts -- >> we all hurt. >> we all hurt. >> reporter: sarahsidner, cnn,
11:13 pm
pittsburgh. >> and the synagogue shooting caps off a week here in the ited states that also included a wave of pipe bombs being sent by mail. critics of president trump, top democrats and this network were targeted. >> the pipe bombs wer intercepted. the suspect arrested on friday, the man that you see here. caesar sayoc. he's set to appear at a miami court in the coming hours. sayoc faces a string of charge ands could get up to 48 years in prison if convicted. thankfully no one was kild or injured by the bombs he allegedly sent. >> so, let's talk more about this with juliet. a former assistant secretary for the department of homeland security and a cnn u.s. security analyst. and she joins me now from boston, massachusetts. good to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> well, it was a tough week and, juliet, the mass shooting at the synagogue in pittsburgh on saturday shocked the nation, and saw the presint suggested
11:14 pm
an armed guard should have been in the building at the time of the attack and then continued with a rally -- he continued with a rally on the same day those 11 people were shot to death. mr. trump justified his action saying you can't give the killer an edge, then he wrongly suggested the new york stock exchange reopened a day after 9/11. what was your reaction to the way president trump led the country on that grim tragic day? >> i mean, he could -- calling it leading is probably a mistake. the president, of course, as you said first claimed that if they had been better armed or had been better security at the temple, no one would have been killed. first of all, there were actually three police officers very well armed w are still in the hospital. and now that the names have been released, you see that the victims were in their 70s and 80s. this is -- these are not people who would have been armed in any
11:15 pm
event. and then to move on to a rally in light of this being the worst attack against the jewish faith in the united states was just sort of shocking in many regards. there is a lot of discussion here about whether president trump's language has led to this kind of violence in particular, because we had the bombing -- bombing threats this week, and now with the synagogue, we also had a hate crime against an african-american couple. and so those three incidents suggest maybe things are getting out of hand, that this racial animus is getti animated from the top. i will tell you, as someone who worries about the next event, i'm very concerned that the president's lack of gravity in the sense of what is going on will lead others to maybe think that this is -- this violence is actually not a big deal. >> i do want to turn to that other disturbing news from last week, the series of pipe bombs.
11:16 pm
>> yes. >> that were sent to two former presidents and to other high-profile democrats, as well as cnn. again, president trump's response upset many people because he refused to actually name barack obama and the clintons and others as targets of those pipe bombs. what happens when a u.s. partisan way in the midst of a national crisis like that? >> so, i mean, not just partisan. it's just not right to not call the former presidents who have been the focus of these essentially assassination attempts. look, the president has decided he's going to use his -- this opportunity for him, which i think he does view the presidency as an opportunity to divide and not unite. he's made that clear. it's not particularly political of me to say that. there's nothing he's done in the middle of these sort of heart-wrenching attacks that makes you think he wants to unify.
11:17 pm
he's blamed the media. he's blamed the democrats. and so we call this in counterterrorism, right, a sort of form of radicalization. what he's doing is he's somewhat in some ways radicalizing those who do not like democrats, those who don't like a type of person. not saying he's a proponent of violence. just saying for someone who ought to know that people are hearing him in aay that is leading to the kind of violence we're seeing, as we know from -- in all of these cases, these re politically motivated, that you would think that he would responsibly tone it do, and he has not. i wish i had better news for you, but if this week didn't change his ratcheting up, nothing will. >>nd thankfully, authorities moved swiftly. they identified the pipe bomb suect, tracked him down, and he is in custody. juliet, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you.
11:18 pm
>> still ahead here on newsroom, in brazil, voters have picked a polarizing new president. find out why they call him the trump of the tropics and what that means for the future. and this. >> a british city is in mourning. coming up, how the leicester city's food ball club reached far beyond the stadium. what does it take to make digital transformation actually happen? it takes dell technologies, a family of seven technology leaders working behind the scenes to make the impossible... reality. we're helping to give cars the power to read your mind from anywhere... and we're helping up to 40% of the nation's donated blood
11:19 pm
supply to be redirected to the people that need it most. magic can't make digital transformation happen... but we can. heyi'm craving somethingkin! we're missing. the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture... and keep us protected. we've got to have each other's backs... and fronts. cerave. what your skin craves.
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
11:22 pm
thousands of people filling the streets of rio de janeiro sunday to celebrate the election of jair bolsonaro. >> with most of the votes counted, the far-right candidate got about 55% of the vote. he defeated his leftist opponent. the campaign was one of brazil's most contentious and most violent as well. now that it's over, bolsonaro narrow insists that he will be a president for every brazilian. listen. >> translator: as a dee fender of freedom, i will lead a government thatp holds and protects the rights of the citizens who follow their duties and respect the laws.
11:23 pm
the laws are for everyone. this is how it will be during our cstitutional and democratic government. >> bolsonaro narrow's far-right proposals and his promises to drain the swamp have earned him the nickname "brazil's donald trump." and on sunday, mr. trump himself called bolsonaro to congratulate him. >>n the meantime, fernando hadaji said his fight for brazil's future will continue. >> translator: we will not abandon this country. we will put it above everything else, and we will defend our point of view, respecting democracy, respecting the institutions. but without giving up on our position, given everything that is at stake in brazil from now on. >> l's talk more about this now with eric farnsworth. eric is the ve-president at the americas society and the council of the americas joining this hour from washington, d.c. eric, thank you for your time. >> pleased to be with you. >> so, mr. beyonce knowles narrow took 55% of the vote,
11:24 pm
clearing the 50% threshold to win, and besting his opponent fernando hadaji with 45% of the vote. what does a beyonce knowles narrow presidency mean for bra snil >> there is going to be a change no question about it. the brazilian people voted for change. they are so tired of corruption. they are so tired of crime. they are looking for the economy to be jump started and for job creation once again to be a priority. and this is something that now president-elect beyonce knowlole is going to be able to do. therere a lot of hopes from the brazilian people riding on his candidacy right now. >> and we are looking at images right there. these images from earlier in rio de janeiro, so many people who came out to celebrate his victory. but given the racist, the homophobic, the misogynist comments the president-elect has made in the past, is there any sense he might moderate, might shift to a more inclusive tone for all of brazil's people or is there a concern he will lead as president in accordance to the
11:25 pm
things he has said in the past? >> there is a lot of hope that he'll moderate his rhetoric, and in fact, bind up a very polarized brazil. but i think most people anticipate, in fact, he won'to that. in part because the rhetoric and the things he's said in the past predate in some cases by many years the campaign. and although campaigning and governing are two separate things, nonetheless, he does seem to have a record that goes back many years that seems to be fairly anti-democratic, that seems to be pointed against minorities, and seems to be really challenging the idea of a large inclusive country like brazil really traditionally has been. >> of the6 states in brazil, mr. beyonce knowles narrow seemed to do best in the western and southern parts of brazil. his opponent fernando hadaji won in central, north and eastern states. wh were key issues that made the biggest difference for voters across those regions? >> these are traditional strong
11:26 pm
holds of the workers' party or the p.t., in other words, the regions hadaji won. those tend to be racially diverse. they tend to be less developed than the southern part of brazil. and so you have some economic cleavages in brazil. you have racial cleavas. you have development cleavages. it's really going to be a challenge,articularly now with the president-elect, who comes into office with some very devi divisive rhetoric. it is going to take a national consensus to be able to address. if you have a polarizing office and government not trying to bring people together but rather divide people, getting that national consensus to drive through economic reform is going to be doubly difficult. so it calls into question whether indeed he'll be able to create the jobs and build the economic foundation that he claims tbe able to do. >> eric farnsworth, again, thank
11:27 pm
you so much for your time and perspective. >> thanks very much for hang me. >> we'll take a short break here. still to come, there is grief in the united states after three days of hate-filled crimes. coming up, the deeper questions about what's behind the recent surge. >> plus, we are following the breaking news. this crash of an indonesian passenger plane that went down shortly after take-off. we'll bring you the very latest on the investigation as cnn newsroom pushes ahead.
11:28 pm
with my bladder leakage, the products i've tried just didn't fit right. they were too loose. it's getting in the way of our camping trips. but with a range of sizes, depend fit-flex is made for me. with a range of sizes for all body types, depend fit-flex underwear is guaranteed to be your best fit.
11:29 pm
11:30 pm
>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> we continue following the breaking news this hour out of indonesia. a passenger plane has crashed into sea. i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church.
11:31 pm
we want to welcome back our viewers here in the united states and, of course, all around the world. indonesian authorities confirm it's lion air flight 610 that went down. the passenger plane went missing soon after take-off from jakarta on its way to the island. >> 189 people were on the plane, including two infants and a child. the rescuers are still searching the crash site, just 34 nautical miles from judge r jakarta. >> we want to bring in aviation expert jeffrey thomas who joins us from perth australia. managing director in chief at air ratings.com. you and i spoke some hours ago. when we first received breaking news on this plane crash. what more have you been able to piece together since then that might get us closer to figuring out what happened here? >> well, it's still very difficult, rosemary. we know that the pilot did radio to say he needed to come back,
11:32 pm
but almost within seconds of making that radio call, radio contact was lost with him and also radar contact was lost, and he impacted the ocean approximately 13 minutes after take-off. the altitude that he reached is a little bit difficult to ascertain. one report has it about 3,000 feet. another of flight radar was that he got to 5,000 feet. but either way, not a very great altitude to gain after 13 minutes of flight. so there is obviously a problem, a serious problem, that quickly overwhelmed the crew. and they were unable to communicate any further, and lost control of the aircraft. this is a brand-new airplane being delivered apparently only a couple of months ago. it's the latest version of the boeing 737 aircraft, the max.
11:33 pm
seats 210 people, and we understand that there was 188 passengers and crew aboard this early morning flight. >> right. and so when we go through all of those pieces of information, you know, you talk that it didn't climb to very high. we were hearing 5,200 feet. you think a little lower than that, and we had heard 20 minutes into the flight after take off that these problems occurred. you're hearing it was a shorter time than that. but we do know that the my lots request -- pilots requested a turn back as you mentioned. just going over that information, and it's not a lot, there must be a process of elimination that you go through. we understand, too, there was some erratic flying. what does all of that signal to you, with your expertise? what would you be crossing out? at this point we know weather is not a factor.
11:34 pm
>> weather is not a factor. we may be looking at multiple engine failures, which is almost unheard of today to have a multiple engine failure. these planes, twin engine airplane, is designed to fly on one engine. it's even designed to fly on one engine if it loses one just at take-off on full take-off flight. losing one is not a problem. obviously losing two is a serious problem. i tend to think, though, that this may be something electrical. it is very, very difficult to ascertain because of the fact this airplane is so reliable. it's one of the most popular aircraft in the world. thousands and thousands of them flying many flights every day. a great record, and the airline itself also just passed some recent, some very stringent
11:35 pm
safety audits. ticks all the boexes, so this i really out of left field, rosemary. >> it is tragedy in the making. we know loved ones waiting to hear some answers. people are always shocked and worried when they see incidents like this, any plane crash, of course. everyone has had the experience on a plane and they want some answers. jeffrey thomas, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your expertise. >> pleasure. >> people around the world have been following the situation here in the united states. 72 hours of hate in a 72-hour period in america, three different hate-filled crimes were committed. two of them were deadly, in addition to the mass shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh. critics of president trump were targeted with pipe bombs. >> yes, and a man with a history of racist rants is charged with killing two african americans at aiken ken grocery store. president trump at first responded with a unifying
11:36 pm
message, then pivoted to blaming the mainstream media. >> this evil anti-semitic attack is an assault on all of us. it's an assault on humanity. it will require all of us working together to extract the hateful poison of anti-semitism from our world. the media's constant unfair coverage, deep hostility, and negative attacks -- you know that -- only serve to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate. >> and for more on all of this, we go to political analyst peter mathews. he joins us live from los angeles. good to see you, peter. why are we suddenly seeing three major hate crimes in just three days here in the united states? >> it's horrendous, and it has to do with the rhetoric that's
11:37 pm
been actually popularized by president trump, to large extent, over the last couple of years, in which he points out groups of people. he started out his campaign saying immigrants are full of -- they're coming across the mexican border and they're mostly rapists and criminals. he goes on to talk about other people who are different. muslims, for example. and now the jewish community has gotten the brunt of this as a horrendous -- the worst killing of any jewish worship place in american history. it brings back horrible memories for the jewish americans and other americans who know about the holocaust and what happened across the world. you have these three incidents connected in some way because they were hate-filled and hate-driven. don't forget the pipe bombs sent to 14 people and cnn as well, entities president trump criticized throughout the campaign, and even after the campaign. so he needs to tone his rhetoric down and dls a connection in my view between the rhetoric fostered by him and the negligence of the republican party to disavow that rhetoric,
11:38 pm
and to disavow the attitude and encourage the president to be a healer and uniter of people. >> of course, president trump rejects that he has anything to do with this. he blames mainstream media. so, what needs to happen in this country to tone down the hateful and divisive rhetoric that appears to be tearing this country apart and what does president trump need to be doing right now? >> well, i think that is a false equivalency about the left and the right. it's more so the extreme right that is fueling the hate-filled rhetoric and cozying up to white supremacists, for example. and that is anathema to our system. american democracy like any other democracy requires a respect of your opposition. as a human being, a citizen of the united states with different views on how to solve problems, they're not evil, they're not the enemy and that's how we should be looking at each other, which we did in the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s. this has changed most recently under president trump's
11:39 pm
administration. it is not even so much the presidents before him. he has to take some personal responsibility. he's being din ingenuous not owning up to it, i will change my ways and be a healer, encourage people to understand each other in america and settle our differences peacefully. he has to don democrat violent action as bernie sanders did when one of his supporters shot the baseball team, congressional baseball team. bernie came out unequivocally against that right away. >> how big a role do you think the midterm elections are playing in this divisive period for the nation and how possible is it that some level of healing might take place once the november 6 midterm s as are over perhaps could things get worse? >> it's going both ways. the elections are fueling this hatred because it is a competitive atmosphere. it is an extreme approach side he's using. at the same time, the extremists are fueling the election prospects and results. i've got a feeling, i predicted
11:40 pm
that the democrats will win the house. the senate is a different question. and there is a difference between the two houses. the house of representatives represents the american people's public opinion because there are lots of different districts throughout the country. the senate you have different states size of population. 20% of the states population elects over half the u.s. senators. so that's disproportionate in its representation. that's why the republicans actually hold that in a very unrepresentative way. once the election is over, i'm not very optimistic this whole thing is going to be toned down unless the people themselves demand it from the politicians. it won't happen the other way around unfortunately. >> we will see. it's just days away. in fact, peter mathews, thank you so much for sharing your perspective on these issues. appreciate it. >> my pleasure, rosemary. you bet. >> still ahead on newsroom, investigators are looking at why a helicopter crashed in leicester, england. it killed the popular football
11:41 pm
club owner. >> and the latest on the investigation into jamal khashoggi's death coming up. the saudi chief prosecutor is in istanbul. we'll have the details for you next. t's me! your dry skin! i'm craving something we're missing. the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture... and keep us protected. we've got to have each other's backs... and fronts. cerave. what your skin craves. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
11:42 pm
first, it continues to pay paramedics while we're on break. second, it ensures the closest ambulance can respond if you call 9-1-1. vote yes on 11. it's my job to protect as a public safety,pg&e, keeping the powerlines clear while also protecting the environment. the natural world is a beautiful thing. the work that we do helps protect it. public education is definitely
11:43 pm
a big part of our job, to teach our customers about the best type of trees to plant around the powerlines. we want to keep the power on for our customers. we want to keep our communities safe. this is our community. this is where we live. we need to make sure that we have a beautiful place for our children to live. together, we're building a better california. proposition 11 "proposition 11 is a vote to protect patient safety." it ensures the closest ambulance remains on-call during paid breaks

"so that they can respond immediately when needed." vote yes on 11. last year he paid for 06 people to renew their season tickets. he paid for them. you bought me a season ticket, so i have a complementary season ticket. and they bought me this gear, and shirts and jackets and things. it's really sad. i should break up -- sorry. >> fans of the british football club leicester city are grieving for the team's owner. the thai billionaire died when his helicopter crashed and burst in flames in the parking lot just outside the leicester city stadium.
11:45 pm
