but the recognisable name, a last surviving date of bmi, british midland which was bought by britishven was bought by british airways about seve n yea rs was bought by british airways about seven years ago, by the time, british airways said that actually we do not want the regional part, so bmi regional was sold off of the past six years, they have not been making anything like the amount of money that they needed. just from what we have been hearing, the average low per what we have been hearing, the average low per was what we have been hearing, the average low per was something around 20 people. and this is at a time we re easy 20 people. and this is at a time were easy jet and 20 people. and this is at a time were easyjet and ryanair are to budget giants that have their plans 90% full. it is a sad day, notjust for the staff of bmi but also for people who are depending on it and if you look at the route from london to the city of gary airport in northern ireland, that is entirely flown by fly bmi and some serious concerns over what is happening there. so, a very difficult time for

bmi is high, but they don't have very much fat.for example, likes to brag how muscular he is all the time. he probably has a high bmi. he is not probably obese. but you got to -- you know him, right? >> that's a whole another show, but go on. >> a whole another show. once you start combining the bmi with the other things, the cholesterol, the coronary calcium scan we were mentioning, the fact that he is on the statin drug, these things in combination could cause a fair amount of concern. as you point out, and very fair that this is not an unusual concern for someone of his age living in this country. but as president of the united states, that's something they're going to need to focus on with regard to his risk for having a heart problem in the next few years. >> so, you know, most people sort of embellish about their height and their weight. does that happen with the president of the united states? and i'm being serious. does the doctor give him a gimme okay, you're actually 6'1", 6'2", you say you're 6'3"? no? >> a lot of the te

years ago, but at the time they said, we don't want the original part, so bmi regional was sold off,those past six years they had not been making anything like the money that is needed, and just from the figures we have been hearing, an average load perflight we have been hearing, an average load per flight of something around 20 people, and this is at a time when easyjet and ryanair, the two budget giants, are filling their planes 90% full, so it is a sad day. it is going to be very difficult over the next few days and weeks, not just for the staff of over the next few days and weeks, notjust for the staff of bmi but also people depending on it, and if you look at the route from london sta nsted to you look at the route from london stansted to the city of derry airport in northern ireland, that is entirely flown by flybmi and there will be serious concerns about what is happening there. they have only just got their funding through to 2021 just got their funding through to 202i agree that the end of last week, so it very difficult time. if you are booked to fly, approach your credit

they were the discarded rump of the much larger bmi airline that was taken over by british airways back those long haul routes and long haul passengers that a large airline like bmi was bringing in, just to run an airline purely on point to point regional routes running small aircraft, it's really a business model that's almost doomed from the start, i'm afraid. do you think there could be other casualties if there is this squeeze on the smaller airlines? it's very difficult, you don't want to name names. there have been a number of airlines that have been very public about their financial difficulties, such as flybe, not to be confused with flybmi, as they said ina be confused with flybmi, as they said in a statement this morning. and norwegian, which has a very different business model, flying european routes but also flying long haul routes to north america that haven't. .. it's been haul routes to north america that haven't... it's been very difficult for that airline to get those established and to run those profitably. so, yes, there are going to bea profitably. so, yes, there are

we've been caught up in the bmi saga today.port to catch a flight, only for it to be cancelled at very short notice. we are now off into austria for ourskiing trip, but there is a real concern as to how we're going to get home. flybmi say they can't organise travel with other airlines themselves, nor will passengers be refunded. there are unfortunately going to be a lot of people out of pocket. for those of you, for those people who aren't able to get a refund through their credit card holder, you may also be entitled to claim something back through your insurance. flybmi operates from regional airports, including newcastle and bristol, flying to 25 european cities. the company blames rising fuel and carbon costs for its problems, but in a statement says... the futures of nearly 400 employees both here and abroad are also in doubt. this is flybmi's headquarters at east midlands airport. only one flight due out here today, and that has been cancelled. the advice from flybmi, if you've booked a flight with them, is to consult you

there are people who can have high bmis and be fit and people who have lower bmis and not be that fit. you have to put that information along with all the other information, if someone is very muscular or are they carrying a lot of fat around their abdomen specifically? how does it fit in with their cholesterol, other testing? i think what most people will say when they look at that complete picture that there is a concern here and the concern is specifically around cardiovascular disease. so concerns about his heart. concerns about the blood vessels that lead to other parts of his body. that's the real concern. so, clinically obese in and of itself is an important thing to know. and typically denotes that someone is not in good health. when you start to add in all this other information, it kind of makes a clearer picture, that there's a real concern about someone's heart health in particular here, wolf. >> did his cholesterol go down because of increased levels of medication he was taking? >> it seems to be, wolf. the numbers did go down. before, they were over 200, 223, i believe.

. —— bmi. my friend, saying we are a bit shocked. -- bmi.ite surprised that you did not know much about it for you got on this other fly tippers now presumably, you got to try and get home again next week? yes, exactly. it would have been very good for us to get a heads up to make an informed decision as to whether we still wanted to come out here. we at now caught in the situation where we are out here, return flights on the sunday to get back to work and the children back to school, are really expensive and yeah, we're just got to get our heads around how we are actually going get home. so yeah, it is a bit ofa going get home. so yeah, it is a bit of a nightmare but it could be worse. i suppose you get your week's holiday in what there durably, you will be quite anxious about how you get home. having had any help from the airline at all about how you get home? it had an e-mail thatjust said to go onto their website and look at the information there, but when we tried to go onto the website, it crashed because obviously everybody i think...

that's for sure. >> that 30.4 bmi, he has to watch that.lays golf this weekend, he might want to walk. >> i'm afraid to look at my bmi. thanks. while we hug those we love tight today, remembering the 17 families in park land, florida that wish they could do the same. families like andrew pollack who is turning their loss into has to keep kids safe every day. andrew is next. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, and if you're pregnant or planning

so his bmi is over 30. he was borderline obese last year.went down, which is to be expected with the medicine case, but that's what you're seeing here. you remember he had many other tests last year including an echo cardiogram, stress test and coronary calcium scan. there's not necessarily a reason to do these tests ef year, but we have no mention of these tests if he had them done or any other tests of his heart. that coronary calcium scan wasn't part of his record last year either. they only revealed that when they were questioned about that. >> >> i want to ask about that because that's crucial. i want to ask you, you were saying look, why is this taking so long? your tweet was it's been four days since the president underwent his annual physical exam and still no data has been leased. what are they hiding? six days later, what are they hiding or do you still wonder what's there? >> well, it took almost a week to release really very basic data. and what the president's physician stated in this note is that 11 specialists as he calls them

and one thing about bmi, body mass index is what we're talking about here, once it gets over 30 it'serfect score because there are people who are very muscular, for example, who are going to be at high weight and their bmi may be up, they're not carrying as much fat. chris cuomo always like to brag about that. but for -- >> because his weight would suggest he's obese. >> that's the least -- that's the least breaking news sanjay ever said. chris cuomo likes to brag about that. >> he's not obese. >> everybody knows that. state the obvious, doctor. but when you put it all in aggregate and say along with his cholesterol, along with these other risk factors, then it becomes even more concerning. again, the concern that they'll stratify and say over the next three to five years, relatively high risk of a heart attack. that can be prevented but you have to control the risk factors. >> when you look at these numbers and take the obesity into account, the idea that the white house doctor is saying the president is this good health, do you agree with that? >> it's tough to condra tra dict some

one of the factors fly bmi cited was uncertainty over brexit, so how much of that is going to cause ase they are all competing in the same economy? yes, they are. i think they were accurate in what they said. the airline has not been incredibly healthy over the last few years, so that was a factor, but i think brexit pushed it over the edge, because one of the things it did, it had a base in europe, at munich, and one of the things it did was to take a lot of charter work from europe. now, it had actually said the europeans are reluctant to charter a head with us because they don't know what our status will be. officially, after brexit, britain will be, as far as aviation treaties are concerned, what europe calls a third country. we will have no special privileges. a man has been arrested in brighton after handing himself into police investigating the murder of a 22—year—old man who was found stabbed in a car. police say the man is believed to have been present at the incident but they are looking to trace others who may have been involved. abdul deghayes was found in a crashed car in
