-bound flights from cairo, iowa man, and kuwait. let's get to our coverage now, nick robertson in st. petersburg, russia. ben we'dman is at the conference in egypt. and ben, you, there appeared to be frustration expressed a that the news conference. explain what happened at that moment. >> reporter: well, that was a question asked by an egyptian journalist there who was asking why there were not other members of the investigating team at that press conference. there was just one person, who's the head of the investigation, and he suggested that there was some sort of disagreement within the committee and quickly jumped to the conclusion that there was some sort of conspiracy. which is something we're hearing quite a lot of these days. i was listening to a call-in show on egyptian television this morning where somebody, the anchor suggested that there's a media war against egypt. nonetheless, this press conference was significant because it was the first time we've received specific details, numbers, times, about this accident. the f
