martha: skiing lessons. bill: unbelievable. what a story. martha: oh, my gosh, you can hear him tumbling and you can hear him -- oh, terrifying. bill: tough guy. martha: yeah. he's back out there. good for him. bill: we've got to run. martha: bye, everybody, see you tomorrow. ♪ ♪ jon: operation free sinjar underway in iraq, thousands of kurdish peshmerga troops are battling right now to recapture the key city from isis. jim jon scott. patti ann: and i'm patti ann brown. america got into this conflict to try to save thousands of ethnic-minority yazidis who isis enslaved and slaughtered. sinjar links the two main cities
8:01 am
of mosul in iraq and rah ca in syria. jon: benjamin hall is live in loan london -- london with more for us. >> this was these massacres which finally persuaded president obama to act against the terrorist group, so today's operation is strategic and symbolic. the operation began this morning at about 6:50 local time as seven and a half thousand peshmerga troops sported by -- supported by u.s. a airstrikes started their assault. there are also unconfirmed reports that u.s. special forces on the ground are helping to call in and confirm airstrikes, though the pentagon says they're nowhere near the front lines. sinjar city sits on a highway 47 which allows isis to move troops easily. it's one of the biggest cities the kurds lost, but it was the yazidis who suffered the most as isis set about massacring whole
8:02 am
villages and enslaving women and children. i was at the front lines of sinjar city earlier this year, and what i learned then still applies today. there are two major difficulty to overcome, the first are the i eds. isis is adept at covering its territory with these devices, so moving forward is slow and dangerous. the other is the weather. winter is coming, and when we were there, cloud cover prevented many of these all-important u.s. airstrikes. they have only a few days of clear skies ahead, so time is of the essence. peshmerga troops seem to have captured a couple of the outlying villages so far, and they have cut off the road a little bit, but the main battle lies ahead when they come into the city, and that is going to be very tough, very long, very hard. big battle ahead. jon? jon: benjamin hall from london, thank you. patti ann: more evidence is surfacing to support the theory that a bomb brought down a russian passenger jet in egypt. a source confirming to fox news
8:03 am
investigators have new intel about a two-hour timer being hooked up to that alleged bomb. the focus is now on a 90-minute window before the flight took off and who had access. leland vittert right now is live in washington with the latest on this. hi, leland. >> reporter: good morning, patti ann. if true, this would point to a whole new level of sophistication by isis and its ability not only to operate in syria and iraq, but also to hatch a plot inside egypt. getting a bomb onto a plane is hard enough, but one theory indicates the bomb was placed near the plane's fuel line. that would explain why investigators haven't found any exclusive rescue so far. with that in -- residue so far. investigators are focusing on the 90 minutes before the metrojet plane took off, namely interviewing members of the ground crew and others who had access to the plane. abc reports they're reviewing surveillance video to see if they can find something to confirm whatsoever are theories.
8:04 am
take a listen to congressman mike mccall about how we got to this point. >> when you project weakness throughout the world and you have a failed foreign policy, this is what you get. and now we have chaos in the middle east, we have isis taking over iraq, syria and northern africa, egypt. now we have the russians in there, and it's presented a very complicated strategy moving forward in terms of protecting the american people. >> reporter: it's important, though, to keep in mind we are far from the intelligence community having anything close to conclusive information or proof about what brought down metrojet 9268, patti ann, and if it was a bomb, proving who is responsible for it. patti ann: yeah. all right, leland vittert live in washington, thank you. ♪ ♪ jon: well, the political winds could be shifting in the wake of tuesday's republican
8:05 am
presidential debate. most analysts now predict the coming showdown between senators ted cruz and marco rubio. with rubio being called the candidate to watch and cruz gaining the support of the more conservative base. be here is senator be cruz during -- senate cruz during tuesday's debate talking about immigration. >> for millions of americans at home watching this, it is a very personal economic issue. and i will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the rio grande. and i will say for those of us who believe people ought to come to this country legally and we should enforce the law, we'reols anti-immigrant, it's offensive. jon: senators cruz and rubio are both cuban-americans, but on immigration they have completely different philosophies. here's senator rubio this morning on "america's newsroom". >> people overstaying visas are going to be deported.
8:06 am
that's how you enforce immigration laws. the flipside of it is i do not believe you can round up and deport 11 million people, especially people who have been here 5 years, have nod otherwise violated -- not otherwise violated the law, and there's got to be a process to deal with that realistically. jon: let's talk about it with lynn sweet with the "chicago sun-times", molly hemingway is senior editor of of the federalist. thank you for joining us today. lynn, do you see this race coming down to a clash between two first-term senators? i mean, right now you've still got ben carson and donald trump atop the gop field. >> well, this is the ripening second tier. it seems that both cruz and rubio want to occupy the same lanes, and i say that plural where they could get some of the conservative vote and still position themselves as anti-establishment republicans by still staying enough within
8:07 am
the mainstream because they are senators. they're not outsiders, to be there if and when carson and trump collapse. jon: cruz seems to be taking a shot, molly, at marco rubio's former support for the so-called gang of eight immigration bill which he now says was a mistake. is that going to be an achilles heel for marco rubio? >> oh, absolutely. one of the interesting things about that that debate the other night was that we started to see cruz figure out his path to the nomination. so he understands that he does need to line up those conservative voters while also appealing to the establishment candidates, and part of that means weakening rubio's impressions among those establishment voters. so that was a very smart move to point out that this is a huge problem for rubio. he has tried to distance himself from it, and he's done a pretty good job of it, but he hasn't addressed everybody's concerns, and it will hurt him. the thing about carson and trump is they make it so that those traditional paths where you either line up the establishment
8:08 am
vote or you line up the conservatives are a little bit more difficult. so anything cruz can do to rip into rubio's support there will help him. jon: there was another moment on stage the other night when he did that without mentioning senator rubio by name. want to play that for you here. >> you know, i mentioned the 25 programs that i put out today, that i would eliminate them. among them are corporate welfare like sugar subsidies. let's take that for example. sugar farmers farm roughly 0.2% of farmland in america, and yet they give 40% of the lobbying money. that sort of corporate welfare is why we're bankrupting our kids and grandkids. i would end those subsidies to pay for defending this nation. jon: lynn, if you are a florida senator and you have voted for sugar subsidies in the past, does that make you a target? >> well, it makes you -- those sugar subsidies are more than just helping florida.
8:09 am
it helps the american candy industry. there's reasons why it stays there. and it also helps the ethanol industry made from soy, a product that is grown in iowa, the home of the first presidential vote. so he's going -- there's so much to unpack there. but the point of going over a sugar subsidy and trying to make this a florida issue, i just think cruz needs to grow bigger. there are umpteen subsidies he could have picked. and if you go after it, there's a lot -- we'll see if he stays on this theme, because it is something to get the fiscal conservatives who may not care as much about the social issues that many of the gop be candidates are campaigning on. jon: all right. lynn sweet, molly hemingway, thank you. >> thank you. jon: a fox news alert, we want to take you to the white house
8:10 am
now where president obama is about to bestow our nation's highest medal, the medal of honor ceremony, for now-retired u.s. army captain florent groberg. he threw himself on a grenade in afghanistan. let's listen. >> be with us as we honor the actions of our heroes. we give thanks for their sacred calling to serve, to protect, to defend our nation and our way of life without counting the costs. may this heroic and virtuous soldier be an example be for future generations. may his life serve as a beacon for our young men and women who run to the sound of the guns for the sake of humanity, for the sake of the nation they have come to love. in your holy name we pray, amen. >> amen.
8:11 am
please be seated. good morning and welcome to the white house. a little more than three years ago as captain groberg was recovering from his wounds as a consequence of the actions that we honor today, he woke up on a hospital bed in a little bit of a haze. he wasn't sure, but he thought he was in germany. and someone was at his bedside talking to him. and he thought it was the lead singer from the heavy metal band korn. [laughter] flo thought, what's going on? am i haha louis nateing? -- am i hallucinating? but he wasn't. it was all real.
8:12 am
and so today, flo, i want to assure you, you are not hallucinating, you are actually in the white house. those cameras are on. i am not the lead singer from korn -- [laughter] we are here to award you our nation's highest military honor, distinction, the medal of honor. now, flo and i have actually met before three years ago. i was on one of my regular visits to walter reed to spend some time with our wounded warriors, and flo was one of them. we talked. turns out he liked the chicago bears, so i liked him right away. [laughter] and i had the chance to meet his parents who could not be more gracious and charming, and you get a sense where flo gets his character from. it is wonderful to see both of you again.
8:13 am
i also want to welcome flo's girlfriend, carson, who apparently, flo tells me, he had to help paint an apartment with just the other day. [laughter] so there's some honey-do lists going on. [laughter] his many friends, fellow soldiers and family, all of our distinguished guests. a day after veterans day we honor this american veteran whose story, like so many of our vets and wounded warriors speaks not only of gallantly on the battlefield, but resilience here at home. as a teenager just up the road in bethesda, flo discovered he had an incredible gift. he could run. fast. half mile, mile, two miles, he'd leave his competition in the dust. he was among the best in the state, and he went on to run
8:14 am
track and cross country at the university of maryland. flo's college coach called him the consummate team may not be -- teammate. as good as he was in individual events, somehow he always found a little extra something when he was running on a relay with the team. distance running is really all about guts, and as one teammate said, flo could suffer a little more than everyone else could. so day after day, month after month he pushed himself to his limits. he knew that every long run, every sprint, every interval could help shave a second or two off his times. and as he'd find out later, a few seconds could make all the difference. training, guts, teamwork, what made flo a great runner also made him a great soldier. in the army, he also took his training seriously; hitting the books in the classroom, paying
8:15 am
attention to details and field exercises because he knew that he had to be prepared for any scenario. he deployed to afghanistan twice. first as a platoon leader and a couple years later when he was hand picked to head up a security detail. and so it was on an august day three years ago that flo found himself leading a group of american and afghan soldiers as they escorted their commanders to a meeting with local afghans. it was a journey that the team had done many times before, a short walk on foot including passage over a narrow bridge. at first they passed pedestrians, a few cars and bicycles, even some children, but then they began to approach the bridge, and a pair of motorcycles spelled -- sped toward them from the other side. the afghan troops shouted at the bikers to stop, and they did, ditching their bikes in the middle of the bridge and running
8:16 am
away x. that's when flo noticed something to his left, a man dressed in dark clothing walking backwards just some 10 feet away. the man spun around and turned toward them, and that's when flo sprinted toward him. he pushed him away from the formation, and as he did, he noticed an object under the man's clothing, a bomb. the motorcycles had been a diversion. and at that moment, flo did something extraordinary. he grabbed the bomber by his vest and kept pushing him away. and all those years of training on the track, in the classroom, out in the field, all of it came together in those few seconds. he had the instincts and the courage to do what was needed. one of flo's comrades, sergeant andrew mahoney, had joined in too, and together they shoved the bomber again and again, and they pushed him so hard he fell onto the ground on his chest x
8:17 am
then the bomb detonated. ball bearings, debris, dust exploded everywhere. flo was thrown some 15 or 20 feet and was knocked unconscious, and moments later he woke up in the middle of the road in shock. his eardrum was blown out, his leg was broken and bleeding badly. still, he realized if the enemy launched a secondary attack, he'd be a sitting duck. when a comrade found him, flo had his pistol out, dragging his wounded body from the road. that blast by the bridge claimed four american here res. heros. four heroes flo wants us to remember today. one of his mentors, a 24-year army vet who always found time for flo and any other soldier who wanted to talk, command sergeant major kevin griffin. a west pointer who loved hockey and became a role model to cadets and troops because he always cared more about other
8:18 am
people than himself, major tom kennedy. a popular air force leader known for smiling with his whole face, someone who always seemed to run into a friend wherever he went, major david gray. and finally, a usaid foreign service officer who had just volunteered for a second tour in afghanistan, a man who moved to the united states from egypt and reveled in everything american whether it was disneyland or chain restaurants or roadside pie. these four men believed in america. they dedicated their lives to our country, they died serving it. their families, loving wives and children, parents and siblings, bear that sacrifice most of all. so while one could not be with
8:19 am
us, i'd ask three gold star families to please stand and accept our deepest thanks. [applause] >> today we ohioan flo -- honor flo because his actions prevented an even greater catastrophe. you see, by pushing the bomber away from the formation, the explosion occurred farther from our forces and on the ground instead of in the open air. while flo didn't know it at the time, that explosion also caused a second unseen bomb to detonate
8:20 am
before it was in place. had both bombs gone off as planned, who knows how many could have been killed. those are the lives flo helped to save, and we are honored that many of them are here today. brigadier general james mingus, sergeant andrew mahoney who was awarded the silver star for joining flo in confronting the attacker, sergeant first class brian brink who pulled flo from the road, specialist daniel valderrama, the medic who helped to save flo's leg, private first class benjamin seecor and sergeant eric hochart who also served with distinction on that day. gentlemen, i'd ask you to please stand and accept the thanks of a grateful nation as well. [applause]
8:21 am
>> at walter reed flo began his next mission, the mission to recover. he suffered significant nerve damage and almost half of the calf muscle in his left leg had been blown off. so the leg that had powered him around that track, the leg that moved so swiftly to counter the bomber, that leg had been through hell and back. thanks to 33 surgeries and some of the finest medical treatment a person can ask for, flo kept that leg. he's not running, but he's doing
8:22 am
a lot of crossfit. i would not challenge him to crossfit. [laughter] he's putting some hurt on some rowing hama chiens ands some stair -- machines and some stair climbers. e think it is fair to say he is fit. today flo is medically retired, but like so many of his fellow veterans of our 9/11 generation, flo continues to serve. as i said yesterday at arlington, that's what our veterans do. they are incredibly, highly skilled, dynamic leaders, always looking to write that next chapter of service to the america. for flo that means a civilian job with the department of defense to help take care of our troops and keep our military strong. and every day that he is serving, he will be wearing a bracelet on his wrist, as he is today, a bracelet that bears the names of his brothers in arms who gave their lives that day. the truth is, flo says that day
8:23 am
was the worst day of his life, and that is the stark reality behind these medal of honor ceremonies. more all the valor we celebrate, all the courage that inspires us, these actions were demanded amid some of the most dreadful moments of war. that's precisely why we honor heroes like flo, because on his very worst day he managed to summon his very best. that's the nature of courage. not being unafraid, but confronting fear and danger and performing in a selfless fashion. he showed his guts, he showedhit
8:24 am
it all on the line for his teammates. that's an american we can all be be grateful for. that's why we honor captain florent groberg today. may god bless all who serve and all who have given their lives to our country. we are free because of them. may god bless their families, and may god continue to bless the united states of america with heroes such as these. [background sounds] >> the president of the united states of america, thousandsed by act -- authorized by act of congress, has awarded in the name of congress the medal of
8:25 am
honor to captain florent a. groberg. for task force mountain warrior, fourth infan try by decade combat team during combat operations against an armed enin afghanistan on august 8, 2012. on that day, captain groberg was with two brigade commanders, two command sergeants major and an afghanistan national army brigade commander. captain groberg observed an individual walking close to the formation. while the individual made an abrupt turn, he noticed an abnormal bulge underneath the individual's clothing. captain groberg rushed forward using his body to push the suspect away from the formation. simultaneously, he eau ordered
8:26 am
another member to assist with removing the suspect. at this time, captain groberg, with complete disregard for his life, he again with the assistance of the other member of the security detail physically pushed the suicide bomber away from the formation. upon falling, the suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest outside of the perimeter of the formation, killing four members of the formation and wounded numerous others. a previously-unnoticed second suicide bomber detonated prematurely with minimal impact. his immediate actions to push the first suicide bomber away from the formation significantly minimized the impact of the suicide bomber's attack on the formation, saving the lives of his comrades and several senior leaders. captain groberg's selflessness and heroism above and beyond the call of duty at the risk of his life are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, fourth infantry division and the
8:27 am
united states army. [background sounds] [applause] [applause]
8:28 am
>> let us pray. may the example of all the soldiers we remember today serve to inspire us to can defeat all the enemies we face. may the acts of virtue we remember give us the courage to hold onto what is good, strengthen the faint-hearted, support the weak and help those who suffer. may we, the living, bring honor to those who have perished so that others may live in peace. grant your blessing remain upon us and be with us always, amen. >> that concludes the formal portion of this ceremony. i need to take some pictures
8:29 am
with the outstanding team members as well as the gold star families who are here today as flo reminds us this medal, in his words, honors them as much as any honors that are bestowed upon him. and on veterans day week, that's particularly appropriate. i want to thank all of our service members who are here today, all who could not attend, and i hope you enjoy an outstanding reception. i hear the food is pretty good here. [laughter] thank you very much, everybody. [applause] give captain groberg a big round of applause again. thank you. [applause] jon: you perhaps saw the bittersweet look on the face of
8:30 am
army captain florent flo o groberg as he received the medal of honor. he tackled a suicide bomber, undoubtedly saved many lives in his patrol in afghanistan, but four men died that day. his own calf was largely blown off. he was a track star who dreamed of one day competing in the olympics, and that dream for now is gone. at one point he actually said he would have preferred to receive the army's distinguished service cross, the second highest award for valor in the army, because the medal of honor comes with it all kinds of notoriety that he wasn't sure he was ready for. but the president insisted. he now joins about 80 other living members who are recipients of the medal of honor in this cup. back with more "happening now" in just a moment.

8:34 am
>> the family is the most important -- >> i know rand is a committed isolationist. i am not. i believe the world is a stronger and better place when the united states and stronger. >> many of those candidates aired major differences on foreign policy centered around
8:35 am
how and when to use force. kt is here with us. thank you for being with us. >> pleasure. >> one thing the candidates agree on is the obama foreign policy is a disaster but besides that the views are all over the map. >> it is almost like a civil war within the republican party. it is pitting two elements against each other. it is the bush 43, neoconservative intervention poli policy. and the other extreme is reagan who used economic warfare to bring down the soviet union. you have a further non-interventionist, rand paul, on one end. and the other is lindsey graham
8:36 am
or mark rubio. but the issue i find fascinating patty ann is the two frontrunners, dr. carson and donald trump, don't have well thought out foreign policy positions. their foreign policy positions are still evolving. this may end up being a debate within the republican party it will be a major debate if hillary clinton is the democrat nominee. it is a foreign policy election. we just don't know the foreign policy if you are a republican. >> i want to get to more on the contrast with hillary clinton in a second. let's go back to the disagreement between the republicans when it comes to handling syria, putin and isis. we have a contrast here from rubio and donald trump. >> i have never met vladimer putin but i know enough about him to know he is a gangster. he is an organized crime figure running a country with a two
8:37 am
trillion economy. >> i got to know putin because we were both on "60 minutes". if putin wants to go knock the hell out of isis i am all for it. i cannot understand how anybody would be against it. >> it is a complicated situation there. what do you say about the candidate's views on that in >> i think trump has good insticts using economic warfare and feeling russia will take out isis. very few people will say keep isis there. we want isis taken out. rubio talks about restoring america's leadership role in the world which is equally important. i think it is a bigger debate than are you going to put troops in the middle east? if so, 5,000 or 50,000? it is a bigger world picture. the obama administration has taken the position that america is going to lead from behind.
8:38 am
they hope they will lead. but they are pulling back to there domestic issues of america. we are going to have a less active involvement internationally. all of the candidates want a bigger role in the world but they are not sure what it is. economic, diplomatic, political. that is what they will thrash out. >> which candidate is best equipped to take on hillary clinton on these foreign policy issues? >> we are a year away. it is early to say what is your specific foreign policy on this or that. i want to see where the debate continues and see them fill in the details. donald trump wants the strongest military and no one is messing with us. that is the essence of reagan's piece through strength. have the strongest, toughest military and no one picks a fight with you. if they do you crush them. hillary clinton has a lot of big vulnerabilities on her phone
8:39 am
policy record. the reset with russia, the ending of the iraq war -- we had the iraq war won when the obama-clinton-kerry administration left. the libyan war and benghazi is there. we need to see when candidate develops. mark rubio has a strong idea of american foreign policy. he has been thinking about and has been on the congressional committees for a while. the two frontrunners are still evolving their foreign policy. we shall see. kt, thank you. >> jon: a devastating drought in africa is sparking shortages of water. el nino could make it worse as well. paul is live in johannesburg
8:40 am
with more. >> reporter: this is a disaster and worse is definitely to come. over 35 million people, a third of them children, face the risk of starvation following droughts and floods in eastern and southern africa that have led to crop failure. and it is a double whammy because now the worst el nino for over 20 years is hitting the area bringing more drought and flood. john ging is on an emergency mission here. >> el nino is a serious impact for the whole continent of africa. here in africa millions will be affected. >> reporter: teams have been sent to the remote island of madagascar where 2.5 million people need food aid here. in east africa, one end of the country drought in somalia and
8:41 am
flo floods on the other end. in ethopia 8.2 million need food and. el nino arrives in malia to find three million in desperate need of food and a further one and a half million in zimbabwe are hungry. the drought is so bad in south africa that one 15-year-old boy was killed in a fight over trying to get water for his mother. jon? >> jon: wow. no idea it was such a bad event there. thank you, paul. >> is there a way to prevent mysteries like the disappearance of the malaysian airlines over the pacific ocean? the united nations thinks so. the plan to track airplanes anywhere in the world. the question is when? and the faa investigating the
8:42 am
crime of laser pointers aimed at planes and cockpits. an aviation expert explains why this dangerous problem is so difficult to stop.
8:43 am
8:44 am
where our next arrival is... red carpet whoa! toenail fungus!? fight it! with jublia. jublia is a prescription medicine used to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. are you getting this?! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness, itching, swelling, burning or stinging, blisters, and pain. oh, epic moves, big j! fight it!
8:45 am
getting ready for your close-up? ask your doctor if jublia is right for you. visit our website for savings on larger size. >> jon: dangerous and dumb stunts putting lives in danger in texas and new york. three planes on route to dallas love field were hit by laser beams which it temporarily blind pilots. people were arrested in new york city and new jersey for pointing lasers at news helicopters. robert mark is a commercial pilot and publisher of jetwine.com. he is joining us from chicago. these things pop up from time to time and seem to be happening in clusters especially with the batch in texas and new york. you say that they are virturally
8:46 am
impossible to stop, robert. why? robert is not able to hear us it looks like. that will make it difficult to conduct the interview. if we get information or feedback on if robert can hear us let me know. three aircrafts flying into the dallas-love field reported being hit by beams pointed in the same direction. and news helicopters in new york city were flying around and they were targets of laser beams as well. it is a federal offense to point the beam at the aircraft. robert is good now and able to hear. robert, you say it is virtually impossible to stop this. why? >> think of the laser pointer like a flashlight. if someone pointed it at a car that went by and it distracted somebody and they called the
8:47 am
police and showed up later and the person turned off the flashlight there is no way to find them. that is essentially the issue we are running into it with the laser pointers. >> jon: there are rewards out for people that do this. is that the best way to get neighbors to rat out whoever is responsible some >> it is probably a start. but it is not the best solution. i think it is time that the manufactu manufacturers starting taking responsibility for the fact their toys and tools are being misused and try to put a warning label, i hate to say that because they don't always work, but sometimes you cannot fix stupid. >> jon: the danger is if is a pilot looks into one of these things they can be blinded immediately, right? >> absolutely. that is the part the people playing with the lasers don't understand. they think they are being cute and it is fun to be able to
8:48 am
light up the airplane. but imagine someone putting something to flash in your eyes and you are blinded for a couple seconds. it can damage the optic nerve as well. >> jon: with hundreds of people on board the single-engine aircraft this is a dangerous game. i want to talk about good news in the aviation world. the world wondered what happened to have to missing malaysian airlines flight that disappeared and there is a new deal in the un allowing real-time tracking of planes anywhere in the world by satellite. the absb system it is called and it is being installed on planes to help them see one another and help air traffic control see them. but now it will allow satellites to track them from the air,
8:49 am
robert? >> that is true. and since you are a pilot you probably have heard this term. the signals are out there. it is just a platter of how the information is being used. up until the point where the new piece of legislation let's call it was passed at the un they could not use the signals and have them be received by a satellite system. this opens the door for satellites to be able to hear all of the absb signals anywhere in the world. it is going to be just a little bit -- the corporations are in partnership with another group, nev-canada, up north, to put absb receivers on the new satellite systems. they don't launch until 2017. it is, you know, move in the right direction. >> jon: it stands for automatic dependent surveillance
8:50 am
broadcast. it almost means nothing even if you are a pilot. >> that is very true. >> jon: i use the system in my single-engine and see other single-engine aircraft using it. it bounces off cell towers. the new system sends the signal to satellites and they will track any plane in the world? >> that is true. the satellites are capable already of receiving them. this is a piece of paperwork that says when the aircraft transmits the signals they don't have to go to the ground. it is okay for the satellites to hear them anywhere in the world. i know it sounds a bit bure bureaucratic but they need this in place. >> jon: no more mysteries like the malaysian airline flight.
8:51 am
>> we hope. >> patty ann: a new twist in the murder of a new york socialite. why investigators now think it was an inside job coming up. the citi double cash® card comes in very handy with cash back twice on purchases. earn once when you buy, and again as you pay. that's cash back now, and cash back again later. it's cash back déjà vu. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay.
8:52 am
with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one sided.
8:53 am
8:54 am
