Chafee. They book end the stage. A brandnew poll out today, Hillary Clinton on top in the cbs poll. She is 19 points ahead of Bernie Sanders. Now, if, if Vice President joe biden enters the race, he would be in third with the other candidates far, far behind. But a biden candidacy is still a big if. There has been no word from the Vice President who has been meeting all weekend with friends and family to discuss a potential run up in delaware, no white smoke, no black smoke from that house. We simply do not know whats going on there. Lets begin here, though, with cnns senior White House Correspondent jim acosta, who is inside the debate hall right behind me at the Wynn Las Vegas. Jim, tell me what the candidates are doing to prepare today. You wont see them anywhere near the hotel where we are checking out the debate preps. Our cnn staff are all over the inside of this ballroom getting it set for the first democratic debate of this season. The electric turns behind me, there they are. The one in the middle is where Hillary Clinton will be standing tuesday night. Shes the frontrunner. As you said to her right Bernie Sanders and then the other candidates, Martin Omalley, Lincoln Chafee and jim webb. Just to give you a sense of the scope, i want our photographer to pan out over the area here where the audience will be sitting down and watching the debate. You see this big screen. Don lemon, one of the hosts, will be fielding questions from facebook users. Here is where Anderson Cooper will be standing as he moderates this debate. On the far table is where youll see dana bash and juan carlos lopez. Theyll be joining in on the questions. You know, john, this is going to be a big chance not only for Bernie Sanders, who is looking for a way to make a moment on tuesday night, but some of the candidates are really struggling to show up in the polls, people like Maryland Governor Martin Omalley. He was on cnns state of the Union Earlier this morning talking about what lit take to have a makeorbreak moment during tuesday nights debate. 15 years of executive experience which i alone will have on that stage of actually accomplishing progressive things. Its not about the words but the actions. Thicks we did in maryland to pull together new consensus after new consensus, to pass a living wage, pass comprehensive gun safety legislation, pass the dream act and marriage equality. Its about the doing, not saying. Reporter the big battle that everyone will be watching will be between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Bernie sanders has got to be one of the big stories of this Campaign Cycle so far. He has come out of nowhere. The independent senator from vermont, the selfdescribed socialist really giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money in some of the polls out there. Over the last 48 hours he has started talking about his iraq war vote back in 2002. He voted against the war, Hillary Clinton voted in favor of the war. Those are echoes of that Battle Royale between Hillary Clinton and barack obama back in 2008. President obama used that dividing line as a way to sort of exploit the differences between himself and Hillary Clinton on that issue of the war. And Bernie Sanders, he was on one of the sunday talk shows earlier this morning talking about how he might try to differentiate himself from the former secretary of state. I think what ended up happening is the president , because he happens to be a very decent guy, actually thought he could sit down with Republican Leadership and work out some fair compromises. The truth is, one, they never had any intention to compromise, but two, more importantly, you have to be prepared to mobilize people to take on these big money interests. But youre right. I think we can do it, and i think thats what the bully pulpit is about and what organizing effort is about. Senator sanders talking about how hes trying to go a step beyond barack obama. He had a crowd of over 9,000 people over the weekend. Its been sort of unbelievable to watch the rise of the senator. But he has a big challenge ahead of him tuesday night. He has to show he can own that stage with Hillary Clinton. It was something that barack obama was able to do at times during that 2008 campaign, worked to his advantage. The question is whether Bernie Sanders can do the same thing. Lets not forget one presence that is looming over everything right now, and that is of course Vice President joe biden. As you said, hes up in delaware this weekend. Ive been looking at this stage all morning long. There is plenty of space if the Vice President would like to join us on tuesday evening, hinthint. I even saw a spare podium off stage in case he wants to join us. I can see a situation, john, where he pulls in in that yellow corvette with the aviators on and just says, lets do this thing. It would be fun to watch and fascinating Political Television if the Vice President decides to join in. That would be a heck of an entrance, jim. The elephant not in the room, at least not yet. Jim acosta inside the debate hall. Thanks so much. Thues this afternoon, word from iran in the verdict ofin the case of a Washington Post journalist imprisoned since july of 2014 apparently on espionage charges. Jason resine remains imprisoned there. Jim sciutto has the latest. Youve been covering this story for years now. What are we learning . What do we know about this verdict . Reporter john, we dont know anything about what the verdict is. His family and other observers on this case will take this announcement with the slightest of skepticism because a few weeks ago the judiciary a spokesperson said they were close to a decision then. By the end of that week, this is about a month and a half ago, and it never happened. So you have to take wit a little bit of scent schism. This will time it seems more definitive, but the whole process has been so opaque because they kept him in prison for a number of months before they even named the charges and came out saying espionage was one of them. So its been opaque from the beginning. You can sense the frustration from the family. Ive been in touch with the family repeatedly. Heres what his brother ali said this morning. The iranian government has never provided any proof of the trumpedup espionage and other charges against jason. They have been on the other hand, expecting at some point the court to come through with a decision. They just have to. They kind of have to come to some sort of conclusion here. But they have very little confidence in the system. I can tell you that much. Now, jim, we know that Jason Rezaian not central to the negotiations of the Iran Nuclear Deal that was discussed on the sidelines there. And lately theres been word from arabian officials, publicly and privately, theyre open to the idea of some kind of prisoner swap involving rezaian. Yeah. Not central negotiations, nchtd, excluded from them. The u. S. Said that they would not make it will status of the prisoners part of the negotiations, although you certainly heard critics from the outside saying they should be part of them, cant make a deal with iran while theyre holding these four americans or at least three americans because the fate of Robert Levenson is not known. So that was a constant tension throughout. This idea of a swap is interesting. Its been out there raised by folks who are not parties to either government as a possibility, but now you have in an interview with Christiane Amanpour and others the iranian government bringing it up as a possibility. Who would be on the other side in there are a handful of iranian nationals in u. S. Prisons, some charged with transferring Nuclear Technology and of course relative to the nuclear deal. Others charged with arms smuggling. So you do from have potential candidates. Of course there are some involved in this who would say here you have Jason Rezaian, whos a journalist by all casualties at least on this side of the ocean so the idea of switching him out for someone like that. That says the iranians claim some of the iranians in u. S. Prisons are there for political reasons as opposed to actual crimes. But i think all sides are open to anything here. If at the end of it it would mean freedom for Jason Rezaian and two others who have been held in iraq. Of course the big problem, the process, the furthest thing imaginable from transparent, so even if there is a 20day appeal process as weve been told, nothing that we will see very little that will be known to the west to be sure. Jim sciutto, thanks for being with us. Thanks. Coming up now, the Jason Rezaian case just one of the Foreign Policy issues certain to come up at the cnn democratic debate.

This is las vegas, nevada, the Wynn Las Vegas hotel, and this is where for the first time in this entire president ial cam pab the democrat candidates face off in a debate. There are all kinds of gambling met or thes you could make and one we are here right now, there is a big bet being placed on Foreign Policy. Joining me, david chall i dont know and miyama lee ka henderson. Mr. Chall i dont know, Bernie Sanders this weekend chose this weekend of all the weekends in the year. Timing is everything. To publish his speech in 2002 where he came out against the iraq war, the invasion of iraq, a vote that Hillary Clinton supported. We can expect this is a contrast that will be made on this stage. No doubt about it. Theyre making that clear. He hasnt made that contrast the big deal it was in 2008. Bernie sanders hasnt gone down that route this campaign with Hillary Clinton very much. On the eve of the debate, he clearly is looking at where he can draw sharp lines with her because there is a lot they agree on, maybe not in the Foreign Policy rel as much, but there is a lot they agree on. He wanted to set down a marker and say, beware, nobodys forgotten that vote, hillary. She did not have an answer for that in 2008 or tried to hedge during the campaign with barack obama and john edwards and other candidates. She has an apps now. In her book, hard choices, she came out and said it was the wrong vote. She did. She said it was a mistake, took her a while to get there. During the book tour she said she didnt want to call it a mistake and say it was wrong out of respect to all those who served in the war. That was her reason for the delay. But every other democrat on the National Stage that voted for the war had moved there. Now, Vice President biden also voted for that war, so if he were part of his conversation going forward, he, too, would have that war vote to defend. He disavowed it in his 2008 yeah. He will not be there physically we think but his presence will be felt all the same. Its not just Bernie Sanders getting in the game. Martin omalley, the former governor of maryland, on state of the union this morning staked out space and i hadnt heard it quite this stark before, trying to create space between himself and Hillary Clinton on the issue of syria and the possibility of nofly zones. Lets listen in. Secretary clinton is always quick for the military intervention. I believe that a nofly zone right now is not advisable, and this is why nofly zone sound attractive but nofly zone have to be enforced. Given the fact that the Russian Air Force is in the air space over syria, this could lead to an escalation of cold war proportions because of an accident. And i dont think thats in the best interest of the united states. There are many fights in this world. Not every fight is our fight. We have to stay engaged there. We have to push back against isis. We have to push up the diplomatic pressure to get russia to focus on isis. But i dont believe the nofly zone is advisable. Without getting the specifics of whats happening in syria, the phrase was Hillary Clinton is always quick for military intervention. Sort of a throwaway line the way he skweetzed it in there but sort of the most important line he said. Certainly hesitant to get some distance between him and Hillary Clinton on Foreign Policy. It might be, though, if youre Martin Omalley and youre 1 , you might want to go after Bernie Sanders instead, that he wants to be in that progressive lane more so than trying to go after Hillary Clinton. But i think were going to see all of these candidates on the subject of Foreign Policy try to paint Hillary Clinton has a hawk. Whats interesting here is that Hillary Clinton is sort of embracing this idea of herself as a hawk, right . She is saying she will be tougher in terms of Foreign Policy than barack obama. Youre going to have others including Lincoln Chafee come out and talk about this iraq war vote and be on the side of obama when it comes to the noeftfly zone. So interesting because so much of what weve seen from Hillary Clinton has been a move to left on policy after policy except military policy. Thats why she doesnt go to the right of where the president is. The story of her tenure. In hard choices she talked about syria, saying i am to the right of president obama and syria. She would have liked to have seen greater intervention inside syria from the beginning. I suppose a question is what do democratic voters think about that . Is this a risk shes taking in the primary . I think it is in some ways. If you look at the Iran Nuclear Deal, there is quite a bit of difference in terms of how people feel. Its basically a split decision in terms of how the American Public feels. She has said about that deal that she agrees with it with catch yachts, of course caveats gives hear lot of room there. But so far youre right, shes saying true to that 2008 version of Hillary Clinton and wrapping her tenure at the state Department Around being the voice, the sort of hawkish voice in the administration. You talked about Bernie Sanders a little bit. This is the first time a lot of the country despite the fact hes been running well in the polls, a lot of people will be looking at him for the first time. Today he reminded americans hes not a democrat per se, big d, hes a registered independent and calls himself a socialist. Listen to what he said about that. Are you a capital snis. No. Im a democratic socialist. What i mean is ive been elected as an independent throughout my political career. I am run noug in the democratic nomination process and will support i hope to win, expect to win but support the democratic nominee. I will. Hes never hidden the fact that hes still i think the sword is something most americans watching debates on tv arent used to hearing. Its the least likely attribute to attract voters. Gallup had a poll out saying 50 of americans would be turned off if their president was a socialist. So he already would start with half the country saying they dont like him. I know his people are very aware of this, the whole electability question and how thats tied to the socialism tag. They see this debate as a chance to introduce himself but also to argue for his electability. Its interesting because sure, hes a democratic socialist, but hes starting to do big d democratic things including speaking in front of the dnc and putting lines in his speech about gun control and also immigration reform. Thats a whole other issue. I want to talk about gun control in the coming hours. Thanks for being with me right now. So exciting whats happening behind us, the setup. The very first democratic president ial debate. It is here on cnn. Its tuesday night, just two days from now. 8 30 p. M. Eastern time.

A 13yearold palestinian boy died from injuries he sustained after getting shot by a rubbercoated bullet. In gaza city, the Fire Department says the strikes caused a house to collapse on a Palestinian Woman and a 3yearold child, killing them both. Ben wedeman is in jerusalem. At least nine palestinians have died this weekend alone. Is there any indication this violence could somehow stop . Reporter not at this point, martin. This evening there was an incident north of tel aviv where an arab israeli man stopped his car by the side of route 65, got out and stabbed four israelis including a teenager and a female soldier. So no indication that its going to stop. This, of course, is a crisis thats been going on for quite some time. I was speaking to a veteran israeli analyst whos been watching this situation in jerusalem for 40 years. He said that this will probably peter off at some point, but it will come up again as it does almost every year, and therefore the feeling is that until theres a final resolution of this problem, that cyclical outbreaks of violence are in a sense inevitable. Martin . Benjamin netanyahu says he is beefing up Police Presence in jerusalem. Im wondering whats the reaction to the way hes been handling the situation so far. Reporter well, hes been a very busy man over the weekend. He has ordered the deployment of around 1,600 Additional Border policemen in jerusalem and around the country. He had a fourhour meeting with his security cabinet this weekend but israelis dont seem to be happy with his aks so far, many feeling hes been too soft in dealing with the situation. According to an opinion poll published in israeli papers today, 73 are either dissatisfied or strongly dissatisfied with his handling of the crisis and they want somebody stronger to deal with it. Martin . Interesting. Ben wedeman, thank you very much. Reporting from jerusalem. Strong accusations from a former republican staff member of the Benghazi Committee. He says the panel is conducting a partisan investigation and Hillary Clinton is the target. Well have that reaction coming up. Just might be the one. To clean the oceans, to start a movement, or lead a country. It may not be obvious yet, but one of these kids is going to change the world. We just need to make sure she has what she needs.

Welcome to las vegas, nevada, site of the very first democratic president ial debate right here on cnn. It takes place tuesday night just two days from now. The five current democratic president ial candidates on stage for the first time together. What will happen there . Thanks to much for being with us. Im john berman live in front of the Wynn Las Vegas where that debate will take place. Two days ahead of that debate new allegations about the House Select Committee on benghazi. Bradley podlyska was hired as an investigator to uncover the facts and determine what went wrong in benghazi when terrorists attacked the u. S. Consulate in libya killing four americans. Former air force major, a lifelong republican, i say Current Air Force officer, spoke so our jake tapper in an exclusive Television Interview about what he alleges are improper motivations by some republicans on that committee. He says the mission for truth turned into a mission to smear the former secretary of state. Reporter it was a terrorist attack overseas that caught the nation off guard. September 11th, 2012, militants stormed the u. S. Mission in benghazi and a nearby cia annex killing four americans including ambassador chris stephens. The houfrs constituted the this committee and did so for us to find all of the facts and i intend to do that. Reporter republicans determined to investigate established a new House Select Committee to focus on how it all happened and what happened after. The select committee on benghazi. But this man says that committees mission has changed and is now focused solely on how to put blame on former secretary of state Hillary Clinton which dowdy has repeatedly denied. Im scared. Im going up against powerful people in washington. I was fireded for trying to conduct an objective, thorough investigation. Reporter the major was an investigator on the committee for almost nine months before being fired in june. Hes planning a lawsuit against the committee. He says he was dismissed in part because of the Time Commitment required by his duty a major in the air force reserves but also, he says, for resisting pressure to focus his investigation on Hillary Clinton and her state department. This has become a partisan investigation. I do not know the reason for the hyper focus on Hillary Clinton. Hes a conservative republican who even once interned for the conservative Media Research center. I would just like to state i am going to vote for the republican nominee in 2016. I do not support Hillary Clinton for president. He believes that Hillary Clinton has much to answer for. Republicans are going to listen to you and think, oh, this is some liberal trying to get Hillary Clinton off the hook. Liberals are going to hear you and say, oh, look, see . Hes exonerating Hillary Clinton. This committee is all political and hillary has nothing to explain. Whats your message to these partisans . Im trying to be objective. Hillary clinton has a lot of explaining to do. But we didnt need to deemphasize and in some cases drop the investigation on different agencies, different organizations and different individuals. Clinton of course has faced intense questioning from congress on the state department in benghazi. As i have said many times i take responsibility. Republicans have accused her state department of denying requests for additional security at the u. S. Mission before the attack and for being slow to acknowledge it was a terrorist attack. The fact is we had four dead americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decided to kill some americans . What poiwhat difference at this point does it make . Several investigations have detailed the many failures of the Obama Administration in protecting americans in libya and in their expla neighs after the fact. The democrats are now calling for the House Committee to be disbanded after Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy touted the committees role in hurting clintons poll numbers. Sneefsh thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right . But we put together a Benghazi Special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today . Her numbers are dropping. Did he accidentally tell the truth about the committee, that in recent months its focus has been on trying to bring Hillary Clintons poll numbers down . Yes, i think it was a slip of the tongue. As i explained yerler, his reasoning is wrong. This was not set up to go after hillary. It shifted that way. Pod lis ka says his problems began in march year when he told his boss on the committee he needed time off to serve in the air force reserve. I said im obligated to serve 39 days this year. My active duty supervisor wants me to report for an exercise in march for two weeks so ill be going on that exercise. And also in may, they need me to report for some people. And what was the response of the Committee Staff director when you told them you had to go honor this obligation to the air force reserve . His response was one word, and that word was wow, lower case, no punctuation, nothing. And honestly i was horrified by it. I knew he was upset. In a statement to cnn the House Committee said it, quote, vigorously denies all of his allegations. Podliska, they say, was terminated in part because he himself manifested improper partiality and animus in his investigative work. The committee went on to say that he has continued to imagine a variety of new outlandish never previously mentioned allegations since his departure including that his supervisors somehow manifested an antimilitary animus toward him. Podliska dismisses those accusations and says the reasons for his termination were clear. The House Committee on benghazi did not want someone with air force obligations and focusing the tragedy on the cia, the pentagon, the white house, or anywhere else except for Hillary Clinton and her state department. Do you think that the results of the committee based on what you saw will be fair, comprehensive, thorough, professional, honest . No. Its not possible. The victims families are not going to get the truth naps the most unfortunate thing about this. And i know this because the nine months of research i had done is now lost. I have no idea where it is. And i know that i could give those victims family answer explanation, a pretty thorough explanation, of why they were told that this attack was due to a video. Jake tapper, cnn, washington. Notable new allegations before Hillary Clinton takes the stage behind me tuesday night in the first democratic debate on cnn. What impact will the new allegations have . Anna navarro currently supports jeb bush, patty used to work for Hillary Clinton and is a democrat. Anna, you can imagine what democrats are staying about this already, essentially told you so. This is a statement from the clinton campaign. These are explosive allegations. This republican whistleblowers account from inside the Benghazi Committee may provide the most definitive proof to date that this taxpayer funded investigation has been a partisan sham from the start. This ammunition handed to the democrats and Hillary Clinton to counter all these allegations about benghazi, is it not . Absolutely. I think its the smart thing for her to do, to try to play it up as much as possible, and it is ammunition for her. Now, the bottom line is we dont know who this gentleman is, if hes a cook or a true whistleblower who was saying the truth. I think this is all going to work itself out. My hope as a republican and american is that this committee is doing its work legitimately, that it will come up with recommendations and figure out what went wrong that night. We owe it to the people who put their lives at risk and the people who lost their looichs that night. I hope its not a political witchhu witchhunt. I think trey dowdy is taking this job seriously. He is a former prosecutor and a serious guy, and hes a smart guy, too, and he knows a political witchhunt would achieve what Hillary Clinton hasnt been able to achieve for herself in years, which is make her a sympathetic figure. So, patty, the committee has said essentially this guy, he never said anything about Hillary Clinton to us before he got fired, this is all news to us. Arent there legitimate questions to be answered on the issue of benghazi, work to be done . I dont think so. There have been eight investigations thus far, millions and millions of dollars spent, taxpayer dollars spent on finding answers. The state department came up with their own independent review, and the state Department Took all of their recommendations to heart. So i think it does the families of the four americans who died a real disservice to taint their death with a political witchhunt. I think its time for the Benghazi Committee to pack up and go home at this point. In a normal debate, a normal first debate of an election which well have here on tuesday, you would have other candidates bring Something Like this um to Hillary Clinton. You would have Bernie Sanders, Martin Omalley, perhaps shine a spotlight on whats been going on with benghazi or with the emails. This isnt normal, though. For the most partisan san and Martin Omalley, they havent gone after Hillary Clinton on these issues. Do you think this maybes it more or less likely it this come up tuesday night . I dont think Bernie Sanders or Martin Omalley will go after her on this specific issue. I think theyll go after her on substance, on the differences between their issues, their policies theyve put forth. I think Martin Omalley is in a different predicamenpredicament. I think he needs to make some noise on tuesday night. I think the best way for him to do that is go after Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner. Its easy to forget there is another guy on that stage, jim webb, who might bring it up because he has a lot of Armed Services experience. He is a former vet. And he has been to the right of Hillary Clinton on some of these issues. Bernie sanders of course has been to the left. And jim webb, frankly, needs to, you know, light himself on fire, go nuclear up there on that stage, because were talking about this debate on tuesday and nobodys even mentioning the fact there are two other guys, Lincoln Chafee and whats his name . Jim webb. Or as i call it 50 shades of quite. On benghazi, you have Kevin Mccarthys statements over the last two weeks which probably contributed to him not becoming the next speaker of the house, this whistleblower or in quotation marks coming out talking about this. A lot as changed in terms of the discussion of the investigation into benghazi. How do republicans turn it around and do they need to . First of all, i think, you know, Kevin Mccarthy has made the biggest faux pas, the biggest mistake of 2016 yet, and he aint even running. Hes not eve an candidate. And it did contribute to him not getting that championship ring, so he has paid a big price for his footandmouth disease. Puts more weight on trey dowdy to make sure the chairman to make sure he is running a fashgs transparent professional process. I think hes capable of that. Were going to see the testimony of secretary clinton, former secretary clinton in a couple weeks, and well see where it all goes. Lets also remember theres an entirely different thing going on, which is the email investigation, which is not the benghazi thing, and thats not going away. The fbi is looking into that. Its whats contributed more than anything else to her numbers as being untrustworthy and not credible. Untrustworthy, not credible, but she still leads the democratic field in the latest vbz poll. Well see how it plays out two nights behind us at the Wynn Las Vegas. Should be exciting. Bhfs the last time you got flanked by two women . My counsel says not to answer that question. Thank you very much for being with us. All right. The first democratic president debate is here on cnn this tuesday, 8 30 p. M. Eastern time. Dont you dare miss it. Right now, at t is giving you 50 percent more data. Thats 15 gigs of data for the price of 10. And get 300 dollars credit for every line you switch to at t. A verdict has been issued in the epps paj trial of Jason Rezaian on the Washington Post, a journalist whos been jailed in iran since july of 2014. News of the verdict were reported by the Iranian Students News Agency citing a joo dish yash spokesperson but no specifics were revealed. This remains a mystery us to, but i think it does underscore what were seeing unfolding here is a sham. For iran to say that theres been a verdict but that its not final simply suggests that this is not a matter for the courts, its a mat theyres being decided in the political spheres in iran. People have ugted, many people, that he is a geopolitical pawn between iran, the u. S. , and other world powers. Have you been able to speak to any family members of rezaian this morning . No, we have not. And what has the situation been over the mos between the post and the u. S. Government and the iranian government . Have you received enough support from the state department, for example . Weve been pleased with the efforts the u. S. Government has made to raise attention to jasons case throughout. On the other hand, we do believe theres much, much more the u. S. Government could be doing at the very highest levels to work with jasons family and the post to bring jason home. Whats an example that youd like to see the government doing today . I think its important that this case remain very much in the public sphere. We believe its important that the president , the secretary of state, and others repeat and put in the public sphere the fact that jason has been held uncontinuingsably long, longer as you said in your introduction than the u. S. Hostages were held during the hostage crisis in 1979. Talking about the u. S. Government. What about the iranian government . I understand from marty baer and the executive editor of the post youve been trying for months to receive permission to have an editor come to tehran perhaps to see jason but all requests have been deniedenied. I visited jason in june of 2014 about six weeks before he was detained. Ive tried ever since to persuade the iranian government to grant me a visa that would allow me to go raise his case at the highest levels, provide support to his family, and those requests have been ignored. There doesnt seem to be any indication that theyre going to tell jason or jasons lawyer what this supposed verdict is. For them to say theres a verdict but that its not final does suggest that ultimately this is a matter for the government to decide. And we heard president rouhani say last month he was willing to work toward the release of jason and two other americans if the u. S. Government also took some steps. This suggests once again that jason is not really a prisoner, hes a bargaining chip being used by the iranian government to extract some concessions from the u. S. And as pointed out rezaian has now been detained 447 days, longer than the americans who were held during the iranian hostage crisis. Expect delays if youre flying on Southwest Airlines today.

Southwest airlines warning customers, well, to get to the airport early because of, quote, unquote, technical issues, and theyre causing some major delays. A spokesperson says as of this morning about 100 southwest flights have been delayed and the airline has 3,600 flights scheduled today. Our sara ganim is in new york following this story. Nice to see you. Im wondering whats causing the backup. Software update maybe didnt go quite right or hacking, what . Reporter great question, martin. All we know at this point is there are Technology Issues and southwest is having to manually issue tickets to people coming to the airport to board flights so this is causing major delays. You can see pictures of the lines. I should clarify that, martin. Its not major delays. Its major lines at the airports. Las vegas airport, you can see pictures of lines, baltimore, nashville, los angeles. In all of these areas people are getting to the airport and literally theyre writing out their tickets. This is what southwest had to say about this incident. Were experiencing Technology Issues today, which are requiring us to process customers manually as they arrive at the airports for travel. Were asking customers to arrive at least two hours prior to their scheduled departures to help minimize delays. I should note a of 10 00 a. M. , martin, only about 100 flights were actually delayed because of this. This is out of about 3,600 scheduled flights. But this may seem a little bit like deja vu to travellers. You remember back in july united had a problem like this. American in september. And aviation experts have told me throughout the day that a lot of this technology is outdated, some of it antiquated, and as we are doing more modern things with flying and merging with other airlines, more flights up in the air, this is what happens. You have issues and it can lead to these kinds of problems. Martin . Yes, it can. 100 flights delayed doesnt sound that bad, but how many passengers missed the plane because of these delays . Well have to see. Hopefully theyll do better tomorrow. Thank you very much, sarah. Well be right back.
