another airline close call we're just learning about, the pilot of an airbus was too busy reading text messages and forgot to put the landing gear down. he aborted the landing at the last minute. this happened on a flight from australia to singapore back in 2010. the ear plan will eventually landed safely. the arrest warrants are out for the two former leaders of the san jose charitable organization on embezzlement charges. the d.a. says olivia mendoza and benjamin can stole more than $1 million from the retirement funds from as many as 100 employees from the mexican american community services agency. they say the suspects use the money to pay for operating costs of the now closed charter school in gilroy. san francisco share of will not be paid while being suspended. in a preliminary ruling the judge also says that the ethics case against ross mirkarimi can proceed. mercury is fighting for his job after pleading guilty to an incident involving his wife. san francisco police say this woman bit another woman over a parking spot. she was a restless last night. to a couple started fighti

he will be discussing various things including the airbus deal that has been announced. and he will also be talking about praising the indonesian's as being living proof that islam is compatible with democracy. our correspondent in jakarta is there. what kind of messages and do you think the british prime minister will be sending? >> i think he will be picking up on that scene that world leaders when they come to indonesia, when they visit this dynamic economy, often say about this country. he will be reiterating that this country has made a remarkable and relatively stable transition from dictatorship to democracy. it was in 1998 when the former authoritarian president stepped down and led the way it for indonesia to begin its journey to democracy. this country is held up as a model for democracy, especially with regard to the muslim world. i have a feeling that the prime minister is likely to make that a major thrust of his speech. he is also expected to talk about the fact that this is a fast-growing economy, one of the major economies in the region. that is why the d

the virgin airbus returning to the airport after reports of smoke and it landed on the main runway. the airport calling it, quote, a technical problem. more than 300 people were evacuated. in all, 26 flights were diverted, and nine flights were cancelled. >>> the president is calling for thorough investigation after accusations of nearly a dozen secret service agents hired prostitutes. the men allegedly brought the women back to their hotel rooms in columbia before the president arrived for summit of the americas. while none of the agents were assigned directly to protect the president, there's concern the agents may have left themselves open to blackmail while protecting obama. >> if it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course i'll be angry. >> the agents have been placed on administrative leave. >>> $53 million in a single month, that's the kind of fund-raising power supporters of president barack obama hope will keep him in office. the question is, is it enough? the campaign announcing today $53 million he made in march

slightly different circumstances there was no green jacket that was in that throng of thousands of fans airbusit was impressive, under pressure. did,, they have names like idle time books and smash records and on small business saturday they remind a nation of the benefits of shopping small. on just one day, 100 million of us joined a movement... and main street found its might again. and main street found its fight again. and we, the locals, found delight again. that's the power of all of us. that's the power of all of us. that's the membership effect of american express.

only working for ge and other aerospace companies, some of them are designing the new engine for airbus 380, the biggest airplane in the world. so we are passing from manufacturers to talent factories, if i can say that. and that is important because investing in people, investing in human capital or human value i do prefer, is crucial to improve the condition of the people but also to improve the condition of the economy. so the reforms have yielded valuable results for the country. competitiveness, increased rate, and the development of high value added industries. so a result of that mexico has become a stable partner and source of economic growth for the whole north america and the whole region. let me tell you some figures about competitiveness. please observing the slide. the movement of mexico from 2006 -- this is the business index from the world bank. so mexico passed from to being the place 73rd five years ago to be in the place 53 -- 53rd today. so we surpassed a lot of countries, and today we are ahead of, for instance, for the rest of the economies of the bric's economies,

if the european governments gave airbus $9 billion, what do you think would happen? do you think we'd have a trade war? perhaps have a wto case filed? we've had that happen in the airline industry. japan airlines was given $8 billion by its government. we don't even think about that. instead we're have an open skies negotiation and the u.s. gets four flights for all of its carriers in the middle of the night and we have to route the case to distribute those four flights that are going to land in the middle of the night. weep need a component in here that has our government understand the importance of aviation trade because it is a massive positive in the balance of trade. but when we negotiate aviation treaties, we don't have a fairness mechanism in it. we are not advocates on behalf of our industry when we meet other countries to have trade negotiations over aviation. not the way we do under the wto and its predecessor, the gatt. nextgen. delta's block time in 1956 flying between atlanta and washington national in dc-6s is the same as it is today on the 757-200. so

boeing and airbus, who agree on very few things, just in the last week along with embraer of brazil announced a consortium to work on biofuels. lufthansa, virgin, klm, i think alaska airlines, qantas, many commercial carriers have flown airplanes powered with fuel mixed with jet a, and the fuel is made from kamalina, algae and so forth. that's all been certified. as i mentioned earlier today the navy is calling the fa/18. they call it the green hornet. we have two or three at fedex. this has been derided by the popular press and the conservative wings. and again, i am a conservative. so let me reemphasize that about the president's remarks on algae. but i think the president is absolutely right. the most likely biofuel that can be produced at scale is likely to come from algae. exxon has invested $600 million with craig ventnor, the individual who decoded the genome. we're working with an australian company that seems to have some pretty good technology to make jet fuel feed stock out of algae produced in bioreactors. algae is prolific, both in the sea and in static water. it can be made in b

the airbus had a technical problem but a local fire official told us there were reports of a small fire onboard the plane. >>> forecasters say about 100 tornados touched down in the great plains over the weekend. >> this is tornado number one. there's tornado number two. >> destruction was widespread but the greatest anguish was in woodward, oklahoma, where lightning strikes silenced the warning sirens and six people died. more than 100 buildings were destroyed. in creston, iowa, the close calls were frightening. one man shoved his wife and children into a closet. >> as i was trying to come in and close the door, the roof fell off, i flew up in the air and luckily my shoulder and neck got pinned in here. they came up about this high. >> there are so many stories like this, people literally getting tossed out of their homes. advanced warning forecasts are getting credit, though, for the death toll not being significantly higher. >> it's amazing when you see the video of those tornados. >>> all right, let's turn things over to our own meteorologist, jeff ranieri. boy, it finally feels lik

i was at airbus in filton this week seeing the expansion and growth plans there, and it is good to hearhat is happening in my honorable friend's constituency. >> does the prime minister agree with his chancellor, who said in 2008 that "once you've got a downturn you cannot possibly slash public expenditure"? will the prime minister stick to his complacent plan of cutting too far and too fast, which has delivered a double-dip recession? >> well read. the point is that we inherited from the labour party a budget deficit of 11%. the budget deficit we inherited was bigger than greece's, bigger than spain's, bigger than portugal's. if you do not deal with your debts and your deficit, you will never keep interest rates low, and it is low interest rates that offer us the best prospects of getting out of this difficult economic situation we are in. >> jeremy lefoy. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> order. let's hear from mr. lefoy. >> at least half a million children -- >> reading! >> order. let us hear from mr. lefroy. >> at least half a million children died from malaria last year. on world malar

hey let's move on we've got to get to this one malaysia airlines against flying or double decker airbus on july first and it seems the company has a bit of a seating chart in mind take a look. a luxury launch has to clear the trold freezone it's the first lawn in the world to do that and honestly i think a lot of business travelers are hoping on the relaunch. so what do you think of this my issue the child free zone will restrict families traveling with children to the all economy lower deck so basically only get a child free zone if you're in business class or first class if you're an economy you're stuck with the kids what makes sense because the children and they have population growth and it desire to contract or pollution growth and euthanize the population so i think it goes with the culture to eliminate children they don't want you to hate them a shoulder and all this is what i want to child free zone but i ride economy because i obviously have job number one you want to not less i'm a broadcaster and i write in economy and i don't get the benefit of a child free zone really got

the airbus a 33300 landed without issue 13 crew and 299 passengers onboard everyone was safely evacuated to word on what may have caused the smoke in the cabin. >>> if you own a vacant building in san francisco, police have a message: board it up. they are trying to keep protesters from squatting in local buildings. >> reporter: san francisco police will be busy trying to get that message out. their message is another occupy protest is in the works and could happen any day now. they want vacant buildings bored up as soon as possible. you may remember dashboarded up as soon as possible. you may remember two weeks protesters stormed a building owned by the archdiocese of san francisco what they left behind was thousands in damage from anti-corporate slogans they wrote on the wall and vandalism that building had been used by the catholic church as a sacred heart prep school recently vacated. police warn this could happen again. that is why they are urging owners of vacant buildings to board them up across the city. they say this is a new extra swreu by the occupy movement to target vacant b

british air and boeing compete with sales against a company like airbus which is receiving subsidiesaxpayer, through the export/import bank to underwrite french-built airplanes that compete with american-built airplanes. now, there's something fundamentally wrong with the concept of this. delta should buy boeing airplanes. >> bill: delta airlines is an american company, is it not? >> i would assume it is. i don't know who's on their board anymore. i don't know who calls the shots but is is acting more and more like a foreign carrier. >> bill: i haven't paid a lot of attention. i've heard this about people wanting to not -- to defund the bank. what would want to get rid of that? it is sort of like the world bank. it is pretty important. >> people who would want to do this are the same folks who would want to feel it is all right to put a gun to their head and pull the trigger. that's how important this is. >> bill: because what they're doing -- >> hurting america and hurting american manufacturing and jobs that support american manufacturing. this is a no-brainer. we're on the same si

both airbus and boeing are buying aluminum hand over fist. why? want to improve your fuel economy, you need aluminum. lightweight and strong. whatever stock goes down, what's the reason? because business is bad. for several days, we saw a decline in bank stocks because they're supposed to have bad earnings. get out of bank stocks now or they wouldn't be going down. doesn't it make sense? banks going up today. what gives? must be short covering. bulls that don't know jack. rubes who thinks that banks can't possibly make money, people really think that? mark my words. know why they're going up? because they should. because business class is better. better than people think. just like alcoa. sherwin williams. sometimes, stocks go up because they deserve to go up. strategies can get more focused, execution can get better and demand can grow stronger. healthy skepticism of success makes sense, but there is such a thing as unhealthy skepticism and we see it every day in this business. guess what? i'm determined to stamp it out or at least present the ot

corporate collaboration spirit under his leadership going survived an unrelenting assault by europe's airbus industry coming difficult merger with rival mcdonnell douglas in the collapse of sales that followed the terrorist attacks on new york and washington d.c. in 2001. mullally turned what would've been a fatal blow to the aerospace giant into an opportunity to fundamentally transform the me into the elite are more profitable enterprise rebate 2006 points commercial jet division was on its way to record sales, revenue and earnings. mullally credited to working together any other and many many of his principles from ford motor company. mullally success at all in the starting making him something of a corporate celebrity, but he hardly acted the part. it looks like an older version of ricky cottingham come with people there and would've seen him public notes that what i mean. the wholesome protagonists on the televisions become happy days. a lot of the same reddish blonde hair, same pointed chin and she was grand. only mullally suggested he knew more than he was letting on. that is the only

eight years of back of boeing and airbus. >> the most bullish part of your conference call. >> there's good reason. they just decided their main workhorse, the a-320 and the boeing 737 is going to be all-aluminum plane. why did they do it? because they know the planes that are getting replaced, they have a 50% better fuel efficiency. how do they get that? they get that through aluminum, right? they get that through aluminum lithium and that alloy we invented which is ten times less weight as composites -- >> but as strong. >> much stronger than that and a lot of experience of how to maintain it. everybody knows how to do that, the industry -- >> cars? >> same story. in a car if you go over life cycle, 20% fuel efficiency. so we see today with the new emissions standards coming in that people are now shifting on their volume cars to aluminum intense cars. then you look at wheels. people say, you know, you shouldn't reinvent the wheel. we reinvented the wheel. because this wheel, aluminum wheel it's 49% lighter than a steel wheel. and it gives you 5%. this alone gives you 5% fuel efficie

boeing and airbus, we've talked about it before, their back logs extend through the end of the decadeiddle of it. their net sales laquarter up 17% versus a year ago, volume up 25%, payroll by 16%. and they're expanding four plants to keep up with growing demand. >> we have never experienced in this country a demand for aircraft products to the level that it is today. and we also see that demand being extension waiting by airbus looking to source many of its components in the united states. >> you know the growth they're seeing here at rbc has been in theed -- noticed by investors. check out the ticker symbol, the dow up 19% over the last three years. back live at the plant here in torington, this is a bearing. there are tens of thousands of these in all major airplanes. this one in particular goes into the flaps on the wings and they go up and down, when you see the flaps going down and up, they're controlled by bearings like this. they're shipping 2.5 million who the airline companies. >> thank you very much, phil. >> when we come back, they are going from the end zone to thend cr --

the pilot turning the giant airbus a330 around about two hours into the flight after reports of a smalle onboard. that's not good. virgin airlines blaming the incident on a technical malfunction, virgin atlantic chief richard branton e tweet -- branson betweened an apology to the passengers. >>> well, congress is expected to take up a critical vote this week on a new rule from the national labor relations board. this rule would give unions new powers to fast track union elections in a shop, and that has many companies very worried. this has been under the radar for some time, not so much this week. lou dobbs joins us to help sort this out, he is the host of "lou dobbs tonight" and a syndicated radio host. lou, the nlrb is now leaning with the labor group now that president obama has taken office, and he's stacked it with pro-labor people as the republicans stack it with pro-business people when they have control of the white house. but this rule is very controversial because it would allow a shop to get unionized much, much quicker. what exactly does it do that is upsetting the business

first it bans babies from first class and now the airline has declared a child-free zone on its airbus a-380s. no children allowed on the upper deck economy section of the jets. they're restricted to the lower deck. richard quest is joining us from london. richard, we already know where you stand on this because we read your tweets. you said at least a child-free zone, families downstairs. okay, some of you may think i'm being grumpy, but i'm tired of entire bi s class woken up because screaming toddler and parent doesn't care. tell us how you really feel, richard. >> hang on. i have never heard such hypocrisy from so many people on this subject. what is worse are those travelers who when they're using their frequent flyer miles will fill the cabin up with their children but when they're on business, they're the first ones to want no children anywhere near the business class cabin. this is a -- >> what about those business for example folks. they have to take their kids. >> back of the bus or in the hold. >> they're paying their money. >> no. that's the mistake you make. that is the mi

boeing delivered 137 jets to customers versus 131 for airbus and shares of target downgraded to neutralg very strong same-store sales last week. >> if you're just tuning in, let us kick off a special series today, called fueling the future and the future may be looking pretty bright for natural gas. well, if you're a consumer, perhaps if not you're a producer at this stage. our very own rick santelli is hanging out over at edmond, oklahoma, converting vehicles to run on natural gas. where are you now, rick? the tank is in, these blow the natural gas through so they can be burned in the cylinder. and just to put one other thing out there, you said to convert this truck to natural gas, that is correct. but when you convert it to natural gas, it can still run on natural gasoline. that's absolutely key to realize. there's only one vehicle left and it's the honda. >> it's a honda civic ngv. >> but the problem is, why don't you think people are buying them? they only run on natural gas. i think this is great. i'm thinking it doing it to some of my cars. but the fact that it can do both on the
