. >> bill: jeff paul live in washington what's the latest on the investigation there, jeff? >> federal investigators are hoping the recovery of the black boxes give them a better understanding into what led to plane to crash into an island in puget sound and what motivated the worker to steal the plane and fly off in the first place. this is the man, 29-year-old richard russell. he worked for horizon air for three years where he loaded and unloaded bags and guided planes. he used a tractor to help back out the plane, it seats 76 people. once in the air he spent more than an hour circling, looping and talking with air traffic controllers. >> a lot of people that care about me and it's going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. i would like to apologize to each and every one of them. just a broken guy. got a few screws loose, i guess. never really knew it until now. >> air traffic controllers spent much of their time trying to find a safe spot for russell the land the plane. he crashed into an island here in the puget sound. they don't believe anyone was hurt or anyone

jeff paul live in los angeles to explain how all this works. good morning, jeff. >> good morning.r jerry brown says it's all about treating the rich and poor fairly. supporters saying too many people are overcrowding jails and getting stuck in custody simply because of their economic status. so instead of using money as a factor, the change will focus on using risk assessments for release. someone who is determined to have a low risk to the public safety would likely remain free until their trial. under the new law most suspects arrested for non-violent misdemeanors would be released within 12 hours of being booked. someone who is facing more serious charges like sex crimes or violent felonies could remain in jail until they face a judge. >> we've replaced this system with money system with a detention system where a judge looks at you and if they think they can let you out with an ankle monitor, we know it works. >> a little unclear how exactly the risk assessment system would work. each county in the state will set its own procedures. it's set to go into effect october of next y

hear from his side about what he thought about paul manafort and michael cohen and jeff sessions.s morning. we didn't edit out anything he said. we are showing you in different chunks. this what you are about to see is 12 minutes about talking about paul manafort michael cohen and jeff sessions. listen. ainsley: mr. president, thanks for sitting down with me. how are you doing? >> i'm doing great. we had incredible rally last night in west virginia. it was beautiful. tremendous crowd. and i think we are going to win a race, a big race over there. and i guess you could say that our numbers in winning, whether it's for the senate or for congress or for governor has been very good. ainsley: how is our country's first lady doing and how are your children. >> she is doing great. she is a terrific woman. she goes through a lot with all this publicity but she is a terrific woman. she is doing great. ainsley: how do you handle all of that? >> well, it's part of my life. i guess my whole life has been this way. somebody said oh, gee, this is always such controversy. and i don't know, i hav

will be the democratic nominee. >> let go back to the conversation about donald trump and jeff sessions and paulanafort. paul, you were at the manafort hearing? >> i was. >> anything interesting that we need to hear about? >> you heard of the top line news, what was a few days delay in the trial. i don't think that it will be terribly significant. i don't think a deal is like until the works. mainly because the president had trolled a pardon out there for manafort. it would seem almost like a suicide mission to go and offer a guilty plea in the face of that kind of offer that's out there on the table lurking, being trolled in front of the defendant. but, you know, there were other discussions that happened at that hearing. in particular, again, some prickly clashes between the judge and the defense team. remember in the anderson trial, the judge was pretty hot at the prosecution. here the judge snapped at one of the lead defense lawyers for manafort, basically telling him to sit down and calling him smug, saying she wouldn't tolerate any kind of backtalk, especially when the jury was in the room

jeff, thank you. president trump is monitoring the paul manafort trial closely. he is comparing him to the mob boss al capone. he is asking where is the russian collusion. he lplans to question his bankers. paul manafort's lifestyle was the focus on monday. there was a shocker from the prosecution about who may not take the stand. we get more from cnn's jessica schneider. >> reporter: dave and kaylee, this saw a number of issues on day two. prosecutors floated the possibility they may not call rick gates to testify. they could have just been bluffing. it sent shock waves through the courtroom. rick gates was the former associate to paul manafort. he worked as deputy during the campaign. rick gates has pleaded guilty to two counts. the defense team has said they plan to use rick gates' testimony against him to discredit him. to say rick gates was the embezzler and flipped on manafort to help himself. interesting development there. prosecutors called a flurry of witnesses, including an fbi agent who is part of the pre-dawn raid of paul manafort's condo last july. h

paul manaford. el fiscal general, jeff sessions, criticÓ la decisión de un juez federalla semana pasada que ordena laa deportaciÓn de cerca de 800,000 jÓvenes soÑadores. una corte en texas escucharÁ la demanda de varios fiscalesrepublicanas, con el que buscan eliminar el alivio migratorio. ilia: cambiemos de tema para hablar de venezuela. el supuesto fallido atentado contra el presidente nicolÁs maduro aÚn deja muchas preguntas sin respuestas. maduro acusÓ al gobierno de colombia y el de estados unidos el estar detrÁs de esta agresiÓn. a la oposiciÓn dice dudar de la versiÓn oficial y algunas voces hablan de un montaje. desde caracas, andrea zermeÑo tiene mÁs detalles. andrea: para muchos resulta inusual que hayan pocas imÁgenes del supuesto atentado contra el presidente, nicolÁs maduro, pues se tratÓ de un acto pÚblico. por eso surgen varias dudas sobre la veracidad de este hecho. algunos especialistas desmintieron la versiÓn oficial acerca de cómo de tono detonÓ uno de los tirones. nicolÁs maduro: ha llegado la hora de la recuperaciÓn econÓmica... andrea: univisiÓn se trasladó al lugar de los hecho

jeff flake is out. paul ryan is out. they are leaving. perhaps nikki haley or ben sasse?s divided deeply. he is final voice of that generation. he understood that as well. i'm not sure. maybe susan collins at this point is the last standing person who embodies those ideals. that is not where the senate is going today. we should be clear about that. >> yeah. daniel, last word? we have a primary tomorrow. >> yeah. doug ducey, the arizona governor, will pick someone after the week of memorial services and funeral for mccain. it is hard to imagine someone who will stand up against donald trump when needed. you know, those former congress members like matt salmon that ducey is considering, they don't exactly think of them as mccain loyalists who will replace him. no one can replace john mccain. let's be realistic about that. >> and given kelly ward, you can argue he is on the ballot tuesday. she said his statement from the family that they stopped treatment was designed to hurt her. just about ten days ago, she said that john mccain was complicit in the killing of mollie tibbe

jeff glor is here with a >>> paul deanno joining us with weather. it's smoky out there. >> i think a lot of people had the question it's so widespread this has to be fog. it's obscuring our visible. it can't be smoke because the breeze is coming from the ocean. it's not. it is just smoky out. you're thinking ocean breeze and smoke don't typically go hand in hand. well, if the smoke is being blown over the pacific, which it is from all the fires burning from northern california north of seattle, the breeze from the pacific is dragging the smoke back toward us. the view toward mount sutro is a smoky view, not foggy this evening. we'll talk about the temperatures which are below average because of that ocean breeze which made it to concord and livermore in the 70s, san francisco 66. air quality now in san francisco, the aqi index is 157. anything over 100 is unhealthy. so it's bad air out there right now and it's only in the bay area. vallejo tonight 57, fremont 59. the haze won't be there, but the clouds will overnight. i'm using this official graphic

president of the united states which he seems to be basing on the fact that jeff sessions did not step in to stop the prosecution of paulanafort or michael cohen. >> i can understand the president wanting to have an attorney general who would in his opinion be a strong advocate for his positions but you have to understand that jeff sessions is also truly a man of principle and if he believes that it would violate the principles that he's supposed to uphold, he will do the right thing and he will stand his ground. i just -- i can't express enough how much confidence we have in jeff. jeff has different opinions on a number of things than what i do but i can tell you this much, jeff will always try to do what he believes is right and that's something the american people can have confidence in. >> the president was accused under oath in open court of breaking the law to help win the election. what should congress do about that? >> i think you're -- excuse me. the premise that you're using here, i think you're drawing some conclusions to begin with. i would probably disagree with them. i think what you're taking are statemen
