of peace after a hard-fought war. men fighting with him in that battle back in washington, secretary of state tillerson and commence secretary wilbur ross right here today, too, dancing with swords. never before has an american president set foot on saudi soil for his first trip abroad. when air force one touched down, the saudi king personally greeting the president and first lady. in this religious conservative country, melania trump forgoing a headscarf, following in the footsteps of first lady michelle obama, whose bare head sparked controversy back in 2015. among her critics at the time, donald trump who tweeted, "we have enough enemies." today, the saudis bestowing on president trump the kingdom's highest honor, lining the streets with american flags and billboards with his picture. but what he's not seeing, as a woman here in saudi arabia i wouldn't be able to go through this door of mcdonald's. i would have to go through this side that says family section.

completely segregated, this is ray wall here that keeps the women separated from the men. president trump is not expected in a public way to address human rights or women's rights on this trip. we tried to ask the secretary of state why. mr. secretary, can we expect president trump to address human rights on this trip? no answer. also not being talked about, the president's campaign trail comments on islam -- >> i think islam hates us. there's something -- there's something there that's tremendous hatred. >> reporter: or the muslim ban. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: in president trump, the saudis see an ally willing to be tougher on iran than president obama was. they're still angry he signed that nuclear deal with tehran. today, president trump and the saudis cut their first deal of the trip, an agreement for the kingdom to buy $350 billion in u.s. military equipment and

services over the next decade. and after a week of his worst headlines since taking office, the president chalked it up to a good day. >> that was a tremendous day. and we want to thank you and saudi arabia, but hundreds of billion dollars of investments into the united states. and jobs, jobs, jobs. and cecilia vega joins us now from riyadh. cecilia, we saw in your piece the incredible welcome he's receiving, but tomorrow president trump is expected to deliver a big speech to the muslim world. he'll be talking about extremism, which was one of the most controversial topics during the campaign. >> reporter: it absolutely was. tom and the big question right now is here in the birthcase of islam, will he say the words radical islamic terrorism? we know that the president has been working on this speech with stephen miller, his aide behind the travel ban and his advisers tell us tomorrow's speech will take a softer tone. >> many in the middle east will be hanging on every word.

cecilia, thank you. now tonight, while we follow the president on his trip to the middle east, several damaging stories back home. ousted fbi director james comey will testify before congress after memorial day, this amid emerging reports the president called mr. comey, quote, a nut job in that controversial oval office meeting with top russian officials. that federal probe zeroing in on the white house itself. abc's jon karl also in riyadh for us tonight. >> reporter: shortly before president trump landed in saudi arabia, word of a coming showdown back home. james comey has agreed to testify after memorial day in public before the senate intelligence committee. the questions surrounding comey's firing are mounting. >> well, i certainly would like to know the circumstances that led up to his dismissal and particularly those conversations, direct conversations with the president of the united states. >> reporter: president trump's meeting with top russian diplomats the day after he fired comey is casting even more doubt on the official white house explanation for his abrupt dismissal. "i just fired the head of the fbi.

he was crazy. a real nut job" trump boasted, according to an official summary of the meeting read to "the new york times" by an american official. "i faced great pressure because of russia, that's taken off." today, the russians insisted they didn't have anything to say about comey in that meeting. foreign minister sergey lavrov telling reporters, "we have not touched this topic at all." but in an interview for "this week with george stephanopoulos," national security adviser h.r. mcmaster didn't deny president trump brought up comey. >> the firing had been in the news, but i didn't know in advance that the president was going to raise it. >> reporter: when repeatedly pressed, he would neither confirm nor deny the specifics of that conversation. >> is that what the president said? >> well, i don't remember exactly what the president said. >> you have the president of the united states telling the russian foreign minister, in their first meeting, that the pressure is off because he's fired the fbi director investigating russian interference in the campaign. does that seem appropriate to you? >> as you know, it's very difficult to take a few lines,

to take a paragraph out of what are -- of what appear to be notes of that meeting. the intent of that conversation was to say what i'd like to do is move beyond all of the russia news so that we can find areas of cooperation. >> reporter: the festering saga is surely on the minds of the president's closest aides traveling with him. abc news has learned that the fbi investigation into russian meddling has now spread to the president's inner circle with a senior white house aide considered a "person of interest." secretary of state rex tillerson was asked who that could person be today. >> i do not have any information or knowledge regarding the person of interest that has been referenced. >> and jonathan karl joins us now. also in riyadh. jonathan, the president has consistently complained about the number of leaks coming from the white house. how does this compare to other administrations you've covered, and are conservatives right when they warn of the so-called "deep state" working against the president? >> reporter: well, tom, i don't know if i would call it a deep

state, but i have never seen anything like that. you have had multiple circumstances where details, actual transcripts of conversations that the president has had in the oval office with foreign leaders have ended up on the front pages of newspapers days after the conversations took place. i have never seen that with any other administration. >> chief white house correspondent jonathan karl for us in saudi arabia tonight. jonathan, thank you. george will have much more on that exclusive interview with general mcmaster tomorrow on "this week." next to the harrowing moments on a flight to honolulu. these f-22 fighter jets escorting that plane after a man with a laptop began acting erratically. tonight, we have new details about that passenger that are leading to new questions about why he was allowed on that flight in the first place. here's abc's matt gutman. >> reporter: tonight, new details emerging about this turkish national, seen here in handcuffs, after allegedly trying to force his way to the front of a flight. airline officials now saying he

was acting erratically hours earlier and had to go through tsa screening twice, but wasn't deemed a threat. the fbi boarding the flight in honolulu after anil uskanil was subdued. >> we're going to send a couple of our agents back here right now so don't be alarmed by that. >> reporter: eyewitnesses say halfway through friday's flight he moved towards first class while carrying a laptop. >> it was just like draped over him like this. i never saw his face or anything. >> he wasn't all there. >> reporter: a quick-thinking flight attendant blocked his path with a beverage cart. almost immediately, a passenger jumping in to restrain him and send him back to his seat. >> i heard they used duct tape and zip ties. >> reporter: warnings immediately going out to all american airline flights. >> we're canceling the inbound approach right now for inbound emergencies. >> reporter: these f-22 fighter jets scrambled to escort the plane to honolulu. the plane dipping to 5,500 feet for the last two hours of the flight out of concern the laptop might have contained explosives. ultimately, none were detected.

now, the airline crediting that quick-thinking crew for using the beverage cart as a barricade as they're trained to do and as investigators review possible motives right now, it seems terrorism is not one of them, tom. >> and tritch was that major concern. all right, matt, thank you. let's turn now to the terrifying hours at an amusement park. students trapped on a brand-new roller coaster in bad weather long after midnight. abc's adrienne bankert picks up the dramatic story of their escape. >> reporter: tonight, the one-minute thrill ride, stranding students sky-high for hours in the middle of a lightning storm. >> rescue, at six flags over texas. >> we have a roller coast tear car that's stuck on the new silver roller coast remember. >> reporter: eight students stuck on the joker ride at six flags in arlington, their feet dangling, whipped by strong wind and rain. >> so, i was shaking and i was crying. >> reporter: the theme park was open all night till 5:00 a.m. for high school grads. christian chaney was one of those students trapped on the ride. >> it started rocking back and forth, and then it came to a complete stop.

and we knew something was wrong. >> reporter: just after midnight, an automatic safety measure triggered by those high winds cuts power to the ride. >> we didn't hear from anyone from six flags for probably 25 minutes. and by this time, it was starting to rain really, really heavily. >> reporter: at 12:30 a.m., firefighters receive the first call using ladder trucks to reach nearly 12 stories up. more than three hours later, the last person rescued at 3:40 this morning. six flags over texas telling abc, "the safety of our guests is our highest priority. our engineers are currently conducting a thorough inspection." though coal and scared, nobody was hurt on that ride. it will remain closed until the inspection is complete, tom. >> credit to those first responders that no one was hurt. adrienne, thank you. turning now to the dangerous weather threat causing anxious moments for millions in the storm path. sections of southern indiana, take a look, under 25 feet of water. million of dollars in flood damage there as the cleanup begins. and this slow-motion cell phone

said concussions are a reality of the sport. >> things happen in the game that are out of your control. you know, in any contact sport there's going to be head injuries. >> reporter: the nfl does require that any player who has a concussion be taken off the field. however, the injury only has to be reported if it happens during the season. tom. >> all right. eva pilgrim for us tonight. eva, thank you. still much more ahead on "world news" this saturday. a high-speed police chase through a residential neighborhood even onto sidewalks. we'll tell you how this ends. and is someone tracking you. the easy and cheap way someone can follow your every move. how to protect yourself. we'll take you to one of the hottest places on earth, close-up over the lava flows from one of the world's most active volcanoes. will you be ready when the moment turns romantic? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex.

to major disruptions all afternoon. i want you to look at the two train cars that derailed right before 3:00. one of them is actually sitting on the ground right now. now, those two cars were part of a nine-car pleasanton bound train and they fell several feet off of the tracks. officials are currently on the cars right now assessing the damage. b.a.r.t. says 24 people were on board as it left the station and passengers felt the train shudder, shake, violently about 10 times in a row, and then it ground to a stop. no one was hurt, but passengers were alarmed by the smoke. >> there was smoke coming out from the car behind me, and i guess that's the car that started to derail. so, you know, we -- some people walked from that car into our car, and we wanted to get off the train because of the smoke, but the driver said i had can't open the doors. just to walk towards the front of the train.
