(hillary clinton/(d) presidential nominee) "i didn't feel anything. was i supposed to?" trump's plane is more fantasy island... (nat sound) "24 karat gold plated sink. you'll notice that the seatbelts as well as everything else are 24 karat gold plated." while hillary's is a more normally configured plane carrying 96 passengers, trump's carries only 43 but puts them in seats adorned with the trump family logo. (nat sound) "here we are in mr. trump's bedroom." mrs. clinton doesn't have her own

plane. (jeanne moos/cnn national correspondent) "one major difference...hillary' s plane is a rental." while the donald bought his jet used...it's now 25 years old.

lot of warning signs that were ignored... dr. valerie williams-goss specializes in domestic violence cases... and even though she isn't involved in this one... she says it doesn't matter if the husband seemed like a good person... whenever a relationship ends in a murder- suicide... she says there's almost no way it could have gotten like that overnight. most cases where a woman is killed, it happens once she leaves or once she gets the nerve to go -- and that's what keeps the woman there. most w are being abused to the point where they ultimately could be killed are being told the whole time -- if you leave i'll kill you. or i'll kill the kids. aside from a few traffic tickets... 38-year-old michael yonke's record was clean. police say they were at the house a few weeks ago... but that it was just an argument, not anything abusive. in a case where domestic violence is reported, somebody is supposed to be arrested. this doctor wonders if maybe it went unreported... like

in medical terms, "low-value services" are defined as providing little value to the patient when costs and alternatives are taken into account. a recent study shows that -- of insurance claims from nearly one and a half million people in 2013 -- just under 8-percent of people had received these low-value services. they can include: hormone tests for thyroid problems... x-rays or m-r-i scans for lower-back pain... and brain scans for uncomplicated headaches. the study focused on a narrow margin of services, but those accounted for half a percent of total spending -- more than 32- million doar so why are doctors providing unnecessary tests? many factors come into play. --sometimes a patient asks for a certain test, and doctors oblige to avoid potential lawsuits... --self-appointed committees that decide which treatments or procedures are low-quality may have conflicts of interest, so their guidelines may not always be objective. --treatment recommendations change as new technology and research are
