12:00 pm
>> drama in the skies, fighter jetsbc9u with the intercepted ar the plane is not responsive. no call to controllers. it flew from new york past cuba, and as you heard if you have been on our coverage, word the plane crashed off jamaica. we're waiting for pictures. will we get them? we don't know. president obama says world leaders are in agreement they must destroy the islamic state. so what are the next steps for taking on the terrorists? ukraine's president says a cease fire is in effect to end months of fighting there, but is vladimir putin really going to play along? let get to it. good friday afternoon you. first from fox news deck, a corporate plane that lost contact with air traffic controllers has now crashed off the jamaican coast according to the feds. we have a picture of the plane, turbo prop the coast guard officials say had three people onboard. the pilot and two.
12:01 pm
we watched for hours as the airplane headed to florida, fly, on the west coast, and then stop respond so right there controllers, took off from rochester, headed to naples, which is right here, kapf is the airport there. it made the turn up there, which is expected, stayed at altitude and just continued to fly. it was right about somebody in the cockpit went silent. the military scrambled fighter jets to find and it they found it along this route here and when they crossed into the air space down here they had to stop following it. along the way somebody looked into the plane. there are reports from somebody, presumably the fighter jet, that the plane's windows had glassed over, suggesting maybe hypoxia set in, they lost pressurization, but there was never a call to a tower or anything. if it happened slowly that could
12:02 pm
have meant that nobody realized what was happening, they just fell asleep. i want to get over here to mark for details how all this went down. this is flight aware, which you can get at home. it's a great resource for tough stuff like this. >> this is the log from takeoff to the time it went down and it gives us clues about what may have happen. if you see, everything appears to be normal -- the blue line or yellow? >> the blue one first, speed. the altitude is yellow, and i was supposed to be at 28,000 feet. that's what the filed for. you can see at 10:05 there it slowed down and dropped 1500 feet, and then you can see it stays steady, as if on auto pilot, kept flying, but the speed started to get a little erratic and notched up and down until right here. that is when it started to go down. at the last minute it went way down, then straight back up in the air, as the speed just stalled out, and then no more
12:03 pm
reports at that point. > 14 miles off the coast. i want to go back over to the big wall. this is the spot, they followed it -- fascinating our fighter jets followed it along the way here, get to cuban air space and the cubans indicate they followed it here. and trace gallagher is in the west coast following this. great insight. once we got on the other side and back into international waters the thinking was the u.s. would follow it again but that didn't happen. >> yeah. the thing here is you talk about these f15s, they they didn't want to cause an international incident but they went back and had to refuel and never picked it back up and the didn't have time because they had to can go and refeel. never would have made it. coast guard c-130 is in route, continuing on, but the coast guard says, it's up to the jamaican officials and really the higher ups to decide who is going to take the lead on this thing. it's fascinating when you talked to mark and showing that thing,
12:04 pm
looked like kg, it's interesting to note that when this thing went on auto pilot, you can see the ups and downs on auto pilot, like when you have cruise control. the car slows down, other cars in front of it. as you hit different wind drifts and stuff the plane will go up and slow down, and at the very end, we got a report the plane actually dropped a couple of thousand feet and then tried to climb back up, the natural want of this plane, and as the plane startsá/ów5 sputter they go in. but almost six hours of flying time before this thing actually crashed. we first heard it crashed on the island of jamaica. now we're hearing it cras6#iro n the ocean just north of port antonio, very huge tourist destination, mick jagger has a home there you have a lot of celebrities, lord of the flies filmed there. so this is a huge tourist destination that could have been very crowded in a different
12:05 pm
scenario. cuban officials were trailing it because they had a decision to make when it's over their air space, shoot it down, let it go? what happened. what do you do if a plane is headed eed for a metropolis area and you the people onboard are other presumed dead? that's the question these f-15 fighters and cuban authorities had throughout the morning as the plane went down. we should note that we, believe that the owner of this plane -- in fact we know the owner of the plane is an experienced pilot. 5,000 hours. normally flies this plane. you mentioned three people onboard. that's according to the coast guard. he is the normal flier of this plane. very experienced. we do not know if he was the pilot in command. we don't yet know who, if anybody, has been identified onboard the plane, we do know that we e-mailed the company. they have simply said no comment and have closed their doors for the day, but imagine being a family member or company member and having to go through this ordeal where you know thatqñ ple
12:06 pm
is flying aimlessly for five plus hours and all you can do is sit and watch like the rest of us. >> absolutely awful, trace, great coverage. we're watching along the way. there are multiple reports a pilot, we presume a military pilot, was able to look through the window and saw the pilot slumped over the controls. whether that will turn out to be true or not is not matter but it was clear to all involved, hours ago, that nobody at the helm could make this happen and the end would be, it ran out of gas. the fear was it would run out of gas over a populated area. over the island of jamaica or cuba. thankfully none of that happened. we know that the coast guard is on the way. when we have more, maybe pictures, we'll bring it to you immediately. it's a big news day. the united states and its allies will ultimately defeat the islamist state terrorists. those are the words from the president as he wraps up a very
12:07 pm
important nato summit in wales, decade, at least a generation, the president said the islamist state is a growing threat and clarified his criticized remark earlier this week when he said the islamic state would become a manageable problem. >> you can't contain an organization that is running roughshod through that much territory, causing that much havoc, displacing that many people, killing that many innocents, and enslaving that many women. the goal has to be to dismantle them. >> the president said nato allies agree. there needs to be a combined effort to defeat the islamic state. president obama talked about the crisis inian. ukraine's president said the cease fire did indeed take effect today after he signed a deal with the russian-backed rebels and russian's ambassador
12:08 pm
to crane. but president obama is skeptical this will hold. whatted did we hear from the president? >> essentially -- basically took them three news conferences over eight days to come up with a clear concise message about exactly what he wants to do with these isis terrorists. as you noted a couple days ago, estonia was, we want to destroy them. actually we want to make it a manageable problem. you mentioned the criticism of that. the week before back in washington at the news con presence where he said we don't have a strategy to deal with isis mill -- militarily. today the president was getting the talking points down about exactly what he wants to do. listen. >> we will continue to hunt them down the same way we're doing with remnants of al qaeda or elements of al-shabaab in somalia or terrorists who
12:09 pm
operate anywhere around the world. but what we]< can accomplish iso dismantle this network. >> so he has a clear message. now, dismantle this network, destroy it. he said that over and over again. now obviously is a more important piece in the message, it's actually putting together the strategy to do that, to actually defeat isis. >> what more are we hearing from defers officials who are there and beyond? >> well, what is interesting is you'll remember one of the reasons the president said he did not yet have a strategy to deal with them militarily in syria, he said the pentagon hadn't yet really presented him with that plan to actually move forward. general martin dempsey, the joint chiefs chair, seems to be contradicting that. he said, quote, at the president's direction we have developed a military strategy with a series of options on how we can initially contain, continue to disrupt, and
12:10 pm
ultimately defeat isil as the administration calls it, instead of isis. bottom line is secretary of state john kerry is the one, as america's chief diplomat, who has to implement the strategy, put together a coalition. the president saying today, he is sending john kerry to the mid-east to get jordan, saudi arabia and others to commit support, humanitarian relief, whatever it takes in iraq and potentially syria as well. >> ed henry, thank you. ahead more on the president's plan with fox news sunday host, kris wallace. plus apple reports it's planning new security measures after somebody released naked photos of celebrities. what the company is doing and, most importantly, hough it's going to affect your photographs in the cloud, and what you must do if you want to keep people out of the cloud. it is so simple, you can do it right now and you will n have this problem, guaranteed. all the details coming up. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again.

[ female announcer ] stay strong, stay active with boost. let's bring in fox news sunday host chris wallace to talk about the president's trip and things that were or were not accomplished. what did you think, chris and. >> well, look, the talk is good, and was tougher, and the president stuck to grade and didn't talk about a manageable problem, which is not the right way to go when you're talking about isis. having said that, the real test is obviously not the rhetoric or piece of paper that comes out of
12:14 pm
the nato communique. it's going to be the action. the french president said, we're on board but we want to see this approved by the united nations. that gets us to the end of september. who knows what happens inside the u.n., and whether this is going to focus just on trying to degrade isis inside iraq or whether they're going into syria. no indication the president asked or the nato allies agreed on any plan for going into syria, and as we all know that is the real headquarters of isis. >> was there a softening of the stance on ground troops? >> european ground troops going in? >> didn't sound like there was but there were all kinds of suggestions that this is going to take ground troops. we heard from the very beginning that is necessary to dismantle, uneed ground troops. without ground troops you cannot dismantle. you can't have them both.
12:15 pm
>> yes, you can conceivably, or at least in theory, and that would be but not with european forces on the ground, but with the iraqi army, supposedly we're going to get a new unity government that will be more inclusive to the sunnis. next week they then take more of a fight on against isis, with support from the u.s. and nato allies. the kurds, peshmerga are not part of iraq and conceivably -- lord knows we have been several year, the so-called moderate syrian rebels but how long have we been hearing the u.s. was going to arm and train them so they can take on isis as well as the assad regime. >> will congress get involved here or are we past that? >> the president has not been clear whether he will go to congress and ask for support. there's also a real question whether he legally has to i will say i think the execution, the
12:16 pm
beheading of the two americans, has galvanized opinion. when you start seeing liberal democrats like elizabeth warren of massachusetts talking about destroying isis, talking in a very hawkish way, i think that the political concerns about getting involved, particularly if it's arab support and -- air support and humanitarian support, not boots on the ground, congress might buy into that. >> what does the time frame look like? doesn't look like these people are slowing down. with every video analysts tell us they get more recruits. having the united states as an on the record enemy -- you figure, whose these people, late teenagers, early 20s, outcasts from their own religion, and to have an enemy like the united states, i don't know, that might be a bit of a turn-on. >> i quite agree. the idea they're taking on the great satan, and you see the
12:17 pm
bullies are very tougher when they behead defenseless american journalists who have their hand tiedñ behind their back mitchel guess -- back. my guesses if they had their hands released they would kick the ass of the terroris but they like to point the notify at obama and say, we're coming to get you. so i is something of an incentive in terms of the timing, as i say, the french president is talking about waiting for u.n. approval. that gets us into late september, early october. meanwhile, we are conducting the airstrikes and we have disease graded and taken out the al qaeda -- the isis leaders, including two of al-baghdadi's top lieutenants. this will be a long, slow process, particular live you're going after syria, which is not being mentioned at this point. i think we're talking months. >> i think the big news was that the french still have a president. did you see this book his ex has written? oh, my. >> i haven't not read it but
12:18 pm
heard about it. i'm glad our president doesn't do that kind of stuff. >> well, he wasn't married, but, this book is going to be -- it's going to -- i think he has a 17% approval rating and it's on the way down with this. that's just a guess. what are you doing this weekend, going to work or no? >> i thought i'd do a show on sunday morning, "fox news sunday." we'll have mitt romney on. you want to promote it? >> it's fully up to you. you're such a good promoter,x yu should do it. >> you should do it. you promote it better. >> chris will have much more of the islamic state on fox news sunday." that is this weekend on fox news sunday on your local fox station. chris wallace, will talk to former massachusetts governor and mitt romney. is mitt running again? >> i think the door is opening just a little bit, and that's one of the things i'll be asking about on sunday. i got to say you can promote my
12:19 pm
show anytime you want. you did that great. >> i really love the program and i read -- you have been in television for 50 years. >> well, i was a child bride. i started when i was 16. >> you are in your absolute dream job, you said. you have done other jobs and you say this is the deem job, and that >> it is. that's true. i'm the luckiest man on earth. this is sunday. and "fox news sunday." what could be better. >> we'll see you this "fox news sunday ." >> and i i get to talk to you on friday. >> vanderbilt, i'll be there. >> bo wallace. >> four touchdowns and 300 some yards last week. >> he is my relative. >> if he is your relative, please tell him, calm down, everything is going to be fine. >> okay. >> kris, see -- chris, see you. >> what? >> i'll be at the football game, chris. do your television, i'll be at the football game. sorry. ahead, more on the cease fire in eastern ukraine.
12:20 pm
we'll speak with former u.s. ambassador toian about what he says it will take for the truce to hold, and we're hoping to get pictures off jamaica. 14 miles off the coast. but the coast guard is on the way out there to find out what is the situation with this plane. we know the news is not good, and we'll have that for you when it comes. stay with us. and just give them the basics, you know. i got this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check? [thinking] i'm still working. he's retired. i hope he's saving. i hope he saved enough. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. whether you're just starting your 401(k) or you are ready for retirement, we'll help you get there.
12:23 pm
23 minutes past the hour. search teams are on the way to the site of the plane crash off the coast of jamaica, where a small turbo prop crashed hours after taking off from rochester, new york, and then communicating no more after 10:00 a.m. we're unraveling a bit more about where the problems began.
12:24 pm
mark is good with this stuff and has been able to walk us through it. what's happened here? >> well, one second. they just reset it. >> it's exciting. here we go. >> this3c is the entire flight path, you see that's where it went down just above jamaica in the water, but going back and comparing the flight path to the flight log, at 10:05 is whether it dropped altitude and got slower. right when it made this turn. so you can see it went off course at that point. that's likely when something happened. something went wrong. it would have normally continued to the west coast of florida over here, over the gulf. instead it turned and what is alarming, some of these population centers it went over. unmanned plane going directly above charlotte, north carolina, nobody controlling that plane, and this was -- if you -- there are storms moving through the area, the unpatrolled plane was going through, and went over south carolina, sumter, areas
12:25 pm
around columbia, then directly over charleston, the heart of the city, and then before going out over the ocean, and then, even then it went over very popular resort areas in the bahamas. >> directly over the entirety of the beach there. >> exactly. the entire length of the island. >> 21,000 feet? >> it was at about 25,000 throughout mkq of here, then right about here is where it started to drop, and then suddenly the log went blank. went from 21,000 to nothing, no information. >> a lot of people asking online, what about. >> it was a straight line. it continued straight until it went down. >> we'll get something from them. thank you. ukraine's president and
12:26 pm
pro-russian rebels agreed to a cease fire after five months of deadly fighting. so far the truce appears to be holding but rueters reports a journalist heard three expressions outside of donetsk, and that was just minutes after the deal took effect. look at the wall. before they agreement the "associated press" reported heavy shelling near the key port city of marapol. analysts say capturing that city would help the rebels carve out a land bridge from crimea to russian. that's what it this all about. putin wants a land bridge to the area he annexed, although he invaded but they use that word. pro-ukraine feathers -- fighters have been near and saw russian tanks advancing to the city. that@m is when putin said moscow is not a party to the cries.
12:27 pm
william taylor, former ambassador to ukraine from the united states and is live now. mr. ambassador, nice to see you. what do you make of what happened? >> well, has to be a good thing that they're not killing each other again still. the russians have now acknowledged that they've got full control over this, by entering into this deal withmer poroshenko. very interesting the deal follows mr. poroshenko's offer of several weeks ago and that the russians have accepted the cease fire is beginning to hold. there's a good sign that the shelling has stopped. which means that fewer ukrainians are being killed and fewer russian soldiers will go back across the border to russia where this was becoming a problem for mr. putin. >> the effect of this, from my reading -- you tell me -- the effect is some areas in the east of ukraine will not be as
12:28 pm
centrally governed and have some autonomy. >> mr. poroshenko made the suggestion, the peace proposal, exactly that, that is some deal would include a -- authority to local governments, including dough ned k, such as the policy of use of local taxes and local infrastructure rebuilding, the policy on language. so this, again, is poroshenko's proposal which the russians now have agreed to. >> that does this mean? the takeover of crimea, the invasion of crimea -- because by the dictionary that's the right word but in politics you can't use it. they invadessed and took crimea and for that there's birthday cake? what do you get for that? >> you get more)ú sanctions. you have the sanctions that have affected the russian economy, and i do believe the threat of
12:29 pm
additional sanctions the europeans and the americans were looking at today has had an effect, and has led to -- has been one of the forcing mechanisms for this agreement today. so, he does not have a free rein. the sanctions remain on. the sanctions will continue and should be expanded. i believe that the defense of the rest of eastern europe, as well as providing military assistance to ukraine, will also provide a deterrent to mr. putin. >> mr. ambassador, nice to see you again. thank you. >> thank you, shep. >> the head of apple says his company is preparing new security measures after it confirmed that hackers were able to steal personal photos from celebrities. remember now, explicit photos of kate upton and jennifer lawrence appeared online earlier this week, and apple reports it's because the hackers were able to figure out passwords and security questions to the celebrities' icloud account. the company will start alerting users on their devices if there's a change somebody is trying to access his or her
12:30 pm
account. you know what? they should have done this from jump. so many -- think of it. your bank account, you get an e-mail that says somebody just trade to make an your account. did apple know this is possible? of course. all this8risç comes just days after -- days before apple is execked to unveil1o the new smt watch and smart iphone 6. for now you can protect yourself easily. do this. you can add two step verification. just go online, go to your apple i.d., and then follow the instructions to set up extra security. what it means is, when you log in to the cloud, it will require two step verification, send you a code and you have to send the code back to your phone, randomly generates the code. i did this the other day, so i went in there and did and it you have to wait three days because they want to make sure somebody else is not doing it to you.
12:31 pm
so you go in set this up. you'll get an e-mail three days later and set up two-step verification. it makes you virtually impenetrable so do because whatever is on the phone is yours. >> a memorial for she american journalists who islamic militants murdered and put online to see. we'll talk to the mother who talks about her son and his decision to go overseas. your 16-year-old daughter studied day and night for her driver's test. secretly inside, you hoped she wouldn't pass. the thought of your baby girl driving around all by herself was... you just weren't ready. but she did pass.

god. >> more headlines. rescuers pulled more than two dozen workers from a mine that collapsed in central bosnia. officials believe five other miners are dead. investigators say two tunnels inside the mine caved yesterday, after a small earthquake triggered a gas explosion. >> newly released cell phone video shows the moment a museum's tornado demonstration went very wrong. look here.
12:34 pm
yelling yelling -- officials in reno say 13 people hurt, most of them kids, but they're all out of the hospital. the fire chief says the human worker combined chemicals in the wrong order. oops. scientist at nasa say an asteroid the size of a house will zoom by our marble on sunday but will not hurt it, getting as close as 25,000-miles to our planet. that's a tenth the distance from earth to moon. the news continues after this.
12:37 pm
learned this was a prompt inept developer on the plane. we have not confirmed the name but the family is saying their father and mother were onboard. the coast guard said three people were on b plane. this developer in rochester owns a tremendous amount of real estate there. a lot of commercial buildings, also has real estate in indianapolis as well, which is why thez# plane was flying from rochester to naples, flew for five hours and 40 minutes before actually crossing cube and crashing just off the island of jamaica. as the investigation continues, and the ntsb gives us more information, we'll pass it along
12:38 pm
to you. >> trace gallagher, pilot himself. thank you. hundreds of people paying respects the murdered american journalist steven sotloff. a memorial service just getting underway a couple hours ago at a temple in south florida. steven sotloff went to the temple's school and his mother teaches there. sotloff grew up in the miami area, moved to israel and became an israeli citizen. he reportedly hid the fact he was jewish from his kidnappers, pretending to be sickj so he could fast for the yom kippur holiday. today's service is open to the public but cameras are not allowed inside. sotloff's mother said during the service, quote, i'm so proud of my son for living his dream. he will always be in my heart and memories. steve harrigan live is in our south florida news room. tell us more about the memorial. >> it was a memorial and not a funeral because there was no body for a funeral. about a thousand people turned up to mourn, including florida
12:39 pm
senator marco rubio. there was a sense of stunned sadness in the group. a cousin read out a note that steven sotloff managed to smuggle out to another cell meat that said, please know, i'm okay. at one point sotloff phoned rabbi asked the crowd, is there any sorrow worse than this? >> steve, you traveled there and reported in syriament how are these kidnapping and beheadings going to fact coverage there? >> i think there's a sense among everyone, people who work for large companies and free lancers, the danger level is getting out of control. there's a sense you could be targeted as a journalist not just for ideology but as a commodity as well. that even as a free lancer you could be worth several million dollars to kidnappers in ransom, depending on what country you're on and that will shape any relationship you have with anyone in the region. >> steve, thank you. president obama says the u.s. and its allies will defeat the islamist state militants but as u.s. officials work to come up with a plan to do that, the
12:40 pm
analysts say the terror group seems to be digging in for a long fight. let's bring in michael singh, manager director of the washington institute and$a formr senior director for middle eastern affairs for the national security council. we talked about the mentality of these people. young, differ aticketted, alienated, outcast from their own religion, looking for a place to fit in, and with this they found it. you wonder if a direct confrontation with the united states of america their greatest world pour, wouldn't be a bit of a turn-on for that bunch. >> well, obviously this group, isis, has big "big brother" --" big aspirations and confronting the west, confronting the united states is part of that. >> is there the possible that within the arab world, the muslim world, that these actions are going to do them more harm
12:41 pm
than good in the long run? may pay off in the short run but eventually they'll have a hard time having followers? >> certainly i think the brutality of their tactics we hope would leave them bereft of allies, even amongst the sunni communities who may have initially provided them support. i don't think anyone would want to live anywhere this kind of rule. we also need others in the region, as president obama said to speak out against the group and its ideology and its actions, which tarring mostly muslims. muslims are suffering from these attacks as wells a minorities? and westerners and people on the ground. >> we cannot confirm but it's widely believed that, for instance, qatar is one that supports this group with money and otherwise. how can this sustain itself when that is the background? we need their cooperation. >> i think this has to be part of the strategy. when we talk about a strategy to
12:42 pm
defeat isis, shep, it's not just airstrikes. it can't just be airstrikes. it also has to be going after the financing, putting pressure on the facilitators. when a young man travels from england to syria, chances are he is being helped by someone else, somebody else is paying for the ticket, somebody is helping him get from turkey across the border into sirar. and challenging the ideology and countering the radicalization has to be part of it. all of those have to be part of an antiisis strategy. >> michael singh, have a nice weekend. >> thank you. >> a new report out on the jobs and, frankly, the numbers are not near live as good as analysts were predicting, jerri willis is here from the fox business network. that's next.
12:44 pm
12:45 pm

12:46 pm
the lowest increase in eight months. still some analysts are saying this could be a temporary setback and at the same time the unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of one percent, now at 6.1. analysts say that's because more people gave up looking for jobs. we hear that every time and it's the truth. a quick look at the dow. in the morning they were, oh, no, the jobs report is not good, so went into the red and it's in the red and they're like, oh, but wait, since the jobs report is not good, that means the fed won't raise rates, and as jerri willis puts it, everything that is good is bad and everything that is bad is good. >> that's right. inside out, upside-down. >> what else are we learning. >> big numbers, some hidden. one is the big real unemployment number. the underemployment number is 12%,ue including folks who are discouraged workers, people who are part-time workers who want full-time work, so this is a big kahuna number. double what we believe to be the
12:47 pm
rate of unemployment when you look at everybody who is underemployed. >> what is happening with people's paychecks. >> not getting a break on wages. so hourly wages went up 2.1%, little over inflation but that's what we really need to see here, wages going up. we need people to have more money to feel like they can spend. that would propel this economy and that is one of the things janet yellen, the head of the fed, is looking for. she looks at a lot of metrics and whether people are getting more money. >> democrats say raise the minimum wage. depends on your ideology and economics. different people have different thoughts. it's not my place to make one but the president is saying if you raise the minimum wage, that would help. republicans say if you raise it, that would hurt. >> the problem is only 2.8% of americans make win minimum[ñ wa. you need more people working. that will boost the economy in my view. ian -- it's under 5% making

check at the house. the suspect says he didn't kill anyone. medical examiners say they'll need to conduct more studies to determine exactly what killed the legendary comedian joan rivers. she died yesterday afternoon at the age of 81. joan rivers had been on life support after her heart stopped beating during routine throat surgery last week. jonathan hunt is with us. do we know anything about this investigation? >> we know the clinic they're looking at is yorkville endoscopy, where joan rivers was when she was undergoing a routine throat procedure. the clinic opened in 2013 and no violations but the state department of health is investigating the clinic and talking to doctors who were on hand at the time. examine any relevant documents. we're told they have already visited the facility. the central question, whether this was an unavoidable tragedy or whether a medical mistake was

made. the medical examiner, as you mentioned, has completed an initial autopsy. that was inconclusive, shep. >> crazy breaking news going down right now, jonathan, from the "washington post," which is now reporting an iranian fighter pilot has forced a united states military charter aircraft to land in iran. a u.s. chartered plane. this plane was flying from bagram air base in afghanistan. one senior military official confirms some details of the story to fox. says the situation may have already been resolved. there were no u.s. military personnel on board. it was not a military aircraft. it was chattered from air dubai. the official says there's not a concern for those onboard. there will 100 people the early going belief is 98 of them were american and two canadians and this plane was intercepted by irann fighter jet and escorted to the southern

iranian city of abbas. a spokesman for the united arab emirate embassy in washington said she is not aware of the incident. u.s. officials sneaking on condition of anonymity said the issue was because of the plane's flight plan. q have a united states charted jet from dubai, from bagram, headed out of there, and the iranians force them to the ground in iran. never heard anything like that. >> a major diplomatic incident whatever the details are, even if it has been resolved. for iranian fighter jets to take that kind of action would be almost unprecedented. what we have seen in the past is in the waters off iran, we have seen iranian vessels challenge
12:57 pm
some u.s. navy vessels in the past. that kind of thing has happened. i'm not aware of an incident like this. certainly if they'll have to look at the flight plan and see if the pilot did make an arrow, did cross into iranian air space, which they weren't allowed to be in. so a lot of questions to be hospital. put you're right majors diplomatic incident, whatever the details. details it posted. they're reporting the following the plane had been contacted by iranian air traffic controllers, who instructed it to return to afghanistan and file a correct flight plan. the iranians questions the flight plan, sent them back. when pilots informed the iranians they didn't have enough full to go back to bagram, the iranians said you have to land now, and land they did. one official said iranian fighter jets escorted the plane carrying -- we now know 100 people, 198 americans and two canadians. other officials deny that, said
12:58 pm
the plane landed on its own. it landed. the plane was charted from fly dubai, a company based in united arab emirates. the spokesman at the embassy for the uae is not commenting on this. so we have a downed jet, landed jet, with 98 americans and a couple of canadians onboard and now they need to get back to bagram. the hoch is they'll let them refuel and get out of there but this is iran. >> if we're hearing this is resolved and it probably has been, but certainly there's going to be some happen words exchanged. and again, they have to look at what these pilots did with their flight plan, whether they deviated from the flight plan, whether there was any justification on the iranian part, but obviously american officials are not going to be happy with a u.s. jet carrying that many americans being forced to land in iran. >> this is standard procedure, hiring a charter jet to getti fm bagram to dubai. >> yes. look at the map on the bill
12:59 pm
wall. you see kabul. bagram air base is just outside of kabul. look at the route down there it's difficult to avoids iranian space. so through me a about some diplomat agreement that allows them to go over parted of iranian air space. it's whether they were over a particular part they were not supposed to be. that's the crucial question. >> they're picky about flight plans and understandably so when you're talking about the borders and lack of relations the united states has with iran. let's take a final check of the dow. the dow up about 60 points. really on thought that now feds won't raise the rates after the fact that the jobless numbers came in not so good but analysts believe this is going to be a mound-month blip and next month's jobless numbers will look good. i'm writing that down and will refer to this moment when that
