cnn's scott mclean is live for us in london. scott, what happened here? geneva, switzerland, to paris. flight time a little over an hour. we know there was some kind of a disagreement between the pilots in the cockpit, which actually escalated into a physical altercation. it's not clear what kind of physical altercation, but the way the airline described it in a written statement to us made it seem rather benign, saying the pilots exchanged inappropriate gestures. they also clarified this was not pilots giving each other the finger or something like this. this was something that turned physical. they say the disagreement was resolved, the flight continued on as normal and there was no risk to safety or anything like that. both of the pilots, though, have been suspended while they investigate. this is not the first time that air france is dealing with a safety mishap in the headlines. just last week the agency in france, which investigates air safety incidents, released a report about a flight back in december 2020 where there was a fuel leak in one of the

. >> scott mclean has been on top of the doeevelopments.olatile situation, but how dangerous was it before the backup power was restored and how crew that will is it for the plant to be reconnected to the grid? >> the plant is off line which means that it is not supplying any electricity to the grid. two of the six reactors are still working. and that is important because this power plant provides 20% of all of ukraine's electricity. so it is important to reconnect it and keep it connected especially as we move into the winter months. now, even with the plant offline, it is important to remember that the plant still needs to draw in energy from the grid. normally it has four separate sources that it can do that from. but because of fighting earlier on in the war, it is down to just one, one that was taken out yesterday due to a fire at a nearby thermal power plant. you can see everyone the smoke from satellite images. and so that is what they are having issues with right now, the external power supply this keeps the cooling system working w

. >> scott mclean, thank you very much. >>> "new day" continues right now. ♪ >>> a signed document inht be filled with classified documents. i'm john berman with brianna keilar. and the news this morning, word that a letter signed by at least one donald trump attorney claimed that all materials marked classified at the former president's residence had been returned to the government. it seems this morning that the fbi believed that was false. and this might have contributed to the need for the search warrant last week. >>> trump's response to the search warrant has evolved almost daily, sometimes hourly since last monday. he now insists the seized materials fall under attorney/client privilege and should be returned to him immediately. to be clear, whether or not some documents are protected has nothing to do with the fact that the fbi believes trump might have broken the law. >> investigators are pursuing the next steps of the criminal investigation into the handling of national security material. new reporting in the "wall street journal" suggests the process could take months as ag
