klm, the dutch airliner, is at sending a security team to cairo to help with check-ins there.cked bags have to go on a separate flight. they hope to change that and get the bags on the flight, but they don't believe egyptian officials can carry that out. they are sending their team along with bomb-sniffing dogs to the airport to help them out. in the meantime, egyptian officials are reluctant to say what caused the crash. they are saying it could be an engine exploding or a battery exploding. the bang in the final moments of the flight. they are urging patience. >> ian lee, thank you. >>> this morning, a huge doping scandal rocking the sports world. according to the report, the russians are engaged in a state sponsored doping program. the committee is calling for russia's track and field team to be banned from the games in brazil next year. >> it is worse than we thought. it has the effect unlike other forms of corruption, of actually effecting the results on the field of play and athletes are both in russia and an product, are suffering as a result. >> investigators say there

live at this hour in cairo with the important development at klm, now asking their passengers to leavehe luggage behind in cairo as they head to amsterdam. >> he defended his decision to suspend flights to and from sharm el sheikh. >> of course, i cannot be sure, experts cannot be sure that it was a terrorist bomb that brought down that russian plane, but if the intelligence is, and judgment is that that is a more likely than not outcome, then i think it's right to act in the way that i did. >> it's notable that president sisi did not criticize the british government's recent statements and actions in its public comment on thursday. so we're now looking at a greater level of cooperation between the two countries on this plane crash. >> i think president sisi is treading very carefully here. an awkward time for him to be visiting when the prime minister of britain decides to cut flights to egypt, citing security concerns at the airport at sharm el sheikh. but, of course, president sisi needs the british government, he needs the million or so, just under british tourists who fly to egypt

klm will be profitable, first of all.ugh, and so the reason why we have launched a plan which is not only a restructuring plan, i would just like to confirm, it's a growth plan bplus savings. we have to make savings to ensure that the company will grow on a growing market and will be able to develop many routes and destinations to eye sh asia, to north america, to africa. we are number one in terms of international network from europe and to europe, and so our future is to grow our network and to grow this network, we have to make savings. the reason why, we have a purpose. at the same time we are chasing growth everywhere on the planet. so second point, do we have to do these type of measures and does it trigger some difficult reactions? yes, it did. it is not the majority of air france employees. it's a very small minority of people who have done this actions, this detrimental actions to the image of air france and to the image of france, and these people will be sanctioned, but they are a few. it's a handful. not more

there has not been a spoo i can in threats but this is not happening at a good time for air france klmes only down 2% this week but they are in the midst of a restrukt string because it had to curb a lot of losses over the last couple of years. as they are doing that there are a lot of people saying this is not the time that you can afford a fall off in traffic to your home market of paris. >> phil, thank you. >>> let's get more on nike's big stock split. on the phone joining us is korean in a friedman. what do you make of this move to split the shares and increase the dividend and do a massive $12 billion buy back? >> we view it favorably, we think this is a great use of cash, this is a nice reward for those that have stuck around throughout the current market turmoil for the shares. we are bullish on the long-term outlook for the company. >> the company was nearing your price target which was i think $132. >> i'm sorry, no, our price target is $148. >> $148. okay. obviously we will adjust that on the two for one split. why is return in capital to shareholders a better move than inves

. >> klm was instituting these for flights out of cairo, which is interesting. >> reporter: yeah.fficials are looking at the security arrangements not just here at sharm el sheikh airport, but looking at airports across egypt. so far, in terms of passengers here at the sharm el sheikh international airport, these additional measures are only for british passengers and only for dutch passengers. everyone else, it is business as usual. john. >> interesting. it has to be complicated. erin, thank you. >>> this morning, russian officials are urging u.s. and britain to wait for the results of the crash investigation before concluding it was terrorism. a russian aviation official says investigators working in egypt will check plane wreckage for traces of explosives. this as two victims of the disaster were the first laid to rest in russia. we have our nic robertson with the latest in st. petersburg. >> reporter: there will be a funeral here in the next few hours. one of several today across russia as the dead from the flight begin to be buried. what we are finding is families are asking

dutch carrier klm is telling passengers leaving from cairo that they can only leave with carry-on bags today and not checked luggage. a lot of other developments as well. hundreds of tourists expecting to take off from sharm el sheikh not expected to go home today. most delayed. they scheduled ten flights out of sharm el sheikh but eight of them won't be able to operate and many of those tourists have been stuck since wednesday. eun? >> krisn, thank you. :05. a reminder that u.s. airlines does not fly into, out of, or over the sinai peninsula. they do fly into cairo. they're considering increased security as a consensus gross that a bomb likely took down a russian plane over the weekend and that could involve more passenger, cargo, and luggage screening. four are already required to comply with gchl s. regulations but there is little direct oversight. >>> police are investigating a threat on virginia tech's campus. that i found kbra feety on a bathroom wall in price hall. the school sent a campus alert to students yesterday. >>> this is the last work day that metro riders will have to

klm, air france, emirates airline. all of them now are saying they are no longer going to fly over that air space temporarily. is that out of an abundance of caution or is that a directive? what's your opinion about those airlines that have made that decision? >> well, i think it is an abundance of caution. they don't want to be in any situation that if it ends up being an act of terrorism, that they were putting their passengers in any type of danger. particularly the flight over ukraine, when airlines are passing over conflict zones, they are making very hard decisions now and avoiding these zones completely. >> except they weren't avoiding it completely before this plane went down, which is odd, that if this was a territory that was already somewhat lawless, that's the word that many have been describing, why would an airline be flying over that area anyway? i mean, a commercial jet with 200 people on board. >> i think the intelligence indicated that the rebels and the terrorists that were running unchecked in that

the question is if there are some airlines like klm which they are not allowing baggage in the cargoold why is it that others are. the way one official put it to me is nothing has been proved yet. they have not been able to prove that a bomb 100% brought down this plane and until they do that they are unable to make demands of carriers especially carriers that are not based here in the united states. >> thank you very much. of course, pretty frightening. 99.9% not enough to make the egyptians change the rules on that flight. so if the growing consensus is that a bomb took down flight what type of bomb could have been used? >> reporter: that explosion a half pound of dynamite, a conventional explosive used in industrial settings impacts a massive wall. the explosion moving about 19,000 feet per second could easily cripple a passenger aircraft. >> seems too simple. the improvised ones it is a simple process. >> reporter: c-4 more powerful than dynamite. that is how many feet? >> that is over a half pound of c-4 also conventional. in some countries a similar explosive can be bought on t

but now another international carrier in addition to air france and klm, emirates airlines is rerouting flights to avoid that region. and the co-pilot's ex-wife told russian state media that he complained about the condition of the plane the morning of the flight. >> my daughter had a telephone chat with him just before the flight. he complained before the flight that one could wish for better technical condition of the plane. >> both flight recorders have been found many the wreckage and reuters says the egyptian officials are analyzing them but the russian transport minister claims that work has not yet begun. cnn senior international correspondent matthew chance is in st. petersburg, the original destination of the flight. you can see right there an incredible memorial for all those who died. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. you're right to say this was where the plane was banged over the past 48 hours or so. there's been these incredibly emotional scenes here at the arrivals gate at this airport in st. petersburg with this sea of flowers and children's toys as a commemoration of the

for a whole week and will or are trying to bring back tourists, that plan now in extreme doubt and klme hear in the last hour imposed a ban on hold luggage on a flight from cairo this morning so it's a very confusing picture and the concern about security now not just about sharm el sheikh says they are worried about egyptian security right across the board. >> doesn't help that the height of the tourist season just beginning at sharm el sheikh and trying to get back to homes and families and jobs in the uk and elsewhere in europe. >> the estimate is around 20,000 british tourist who are in sharm el sheikh this time of year and russians are there and very popular resort for the russian tourist market as well and the uncertainty now about when and how they are going to be able to return home as a result of the suspension of the apparent suspension of flights throws this into a huge amount of uncertainty and added on top of restrictions that had already been imposed on hold luggage coming back and saying come back do the house keys essentially and the luggage would come back using a gove

we should say the banning of flights from egypt, the dutch airline klm now says no luggage can be checkedfrom cairo. this is the biggest country in the middle east, a major statement about the fears of security there, the fear of the rise of isis. the big question, of course, is what kind of bomb could have brought down the jet? miguel marquez has a special "outfront" report. >> reporter: finding a bomb that's already exploded in this? not an easy task. but one a thorough investigation should find. >> every one one of these bombings has a distinct signature. once you can put it together and link it back to a group or an individual, that's the ultimate goal here. >> reporter: for years, terrorists have sought new ways to bring down commercial jet aircraft, from bombs hidden in shoes to liquid containers, even underwear. in the case of metro jet 9268, u.s. officials suspect a conventional bomb, like this one shown in this test of plastic explosives. officials believe the bomb was placed in the cargo hold of the a-321 along with other luggage. one big question, how would such a device be det

the dutch airline klm says it's not going to allow passengers flying out of egypt to check bags through, at least temporarily. some british carriers are doing the same. the department of homeland security in the u.s. says temporarily at least it will enhance screening for items going on to planes inbound to the united states. brian todd, cnn, washington. >>> are you watching "cnn newsroom." still to come this hour, singapore, it is hosting a historic meeting between the leaders of china and taiwan. ahead, we look at what has kept them apart and where things stand now. >>> plus, sunday's election may be a historic one in myanmar. details on that ahead as "cnn newsroom" continues. want to survive a crazy busy day? sfx: cell phone chimes start with a positive attitude... and positively radiant skin. aveeno® positively radiant moisturizer... with active naturals® soy. aveeno® naturally beautiful results®. >>> welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. the leaders of taiwan and china have been leading historic talks in singapore. live pictures right now. the president of taiwan speak

. >> and you also have overnight, klm, a major carrier coming out and saying no checked luggage fromro egypt to amsterdam. so you have this cycle of fear precipitating. all those lines of people we saw in the airport, many of them thought they could go home today. how drastically does this change all the contradictory information they are get on when they can leave? >> this will absolutely solidify the broader concern. and when not just british nationals being extracted but potentially russian as well. out of a relatively small airport. this is a holiday and a major hub. this is potential for a lot of chaos and feeds back into the fear. it is also about the fears that are playing out for so many passengers about what happened and what caused this and what that means for their safety as long as they are stuck here. >> absolutely. reporting live from sharm el sheikh today. and if indeed this is an attack carried out by isis it is no question a game-changer. it would be the group's first successful attack on an airliner. but in some ways this would be isis still holding on to its proven

of not only security at the airport but security in other places and we're hearing also as well that klm, the dutch carrier, is going to be bringing its staff in to cairo airport to also provide security checks so that they can get those flights running as normal. >> and, ian, i guess with the egyptians now looking at possible hotel workers and maybe this connection with the bomb, is there acknowledgement from the egyptian a bomb brought down this plane, are they relying only on intelligence from the americans tapped br s and the b their own information from their own investigators as well? >> reporter: well, egyptians have been fairly standoffish of declaring what it is exactly. although, if you remember in the beginning of this investigation they were saying almost 100% that this wasn't a bomb, that it was a mechanical issue. we've seen them slowly shift over to the notion that it could have been a bomb that brought down this flight. but they still don't want to call it a bomb quite yet. they are saying the investigation is still ongoing. the one thing that will be crucial are the piec

. >> a couple european carriers, lufthansa, klm, have announced they're not flying over sinai, avoidingthat do that? do you think that's premature? >> i think it's a safety factor. they're just reacting. but i do not think -- pretty sure isis was not involved with this. there are other factors. emirates airlines as well is not flying over there as well. they do that for precautionary measure. >> thanks for putting that in perspective. a lot coming at us and hard to know what's right and wrong. >> jesse ventura takes another swipe at deceased american sniper chris kyle. >> he's not a hero, he's a backstabbing liar. >> the attacks don't stop there. went on and on. we'll bring you part of what he said. and everyone has a song stuck in their head. we can help you get it out. the doctor is in the office. the tips you need to hear to stop those annoying melodies from taking over your life. ♪ ♪ here's my number so call me maybe ♪ ♪ it's hard to look at you baby but here's my number ♪ you're down with crestor. yes! when diet and exercise aren't enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up t
