She takes a big stake in Weight Watchers. The company hoping customers follow her lead. Nightly news begins right now. Good evening. Did a High School Student really manage to hack his way into the personal email of one of this countrys top spy bosses . Federal agents are trying to answer that question tonight after what appeared to be private and possibly Sensitive Information was posted online. Given the highprofile of the target of the attack and the relatively lowtech method used, it is a disturbing and cautionary tale that nbc Pete Williams picks up from here. The apparent victim isnt any american or government official. It is john brennan, the cia director since 2013. And the long time key player in the u. S. Ilg an mesh man who is an american High School Student said he cracked into the aol account by revealing enough information to reset the account password. Hello guys, this twitter account is going now, the hacker said. Posting what appears to be a spreadsheet of names and emails of current and former intelligence officials. The hacker blanked out Social Security numbers. And the hacker found his application for a security clearance. And also said he got into the comcast billing account of the Homeland Security jeh johnson. This is his personal account and not a government account and no classified information was compromised. Still it is a reminder that there is nothing secure about email. I give people this advice all of the time. When you are typing into a keyboard, no matter what you are typing, a love note to your lover, assume somebody else is probably looking over your shoulder. This was reported by the New York Post which said the hacker, who was not to protest u. N. Foreign policy. The fbi and seerkt service is investigating. Theyll find out if he was as good as covering his tracks as he was to getting passwords. Lester. Thank you. With close calls between drones and passenger planes increasing, we learn new details about the washington huffy up plan on who is flying the devices and where they can be found. That means thousands of drones expected to wind up under the Christmas Tree this holiday may come with strings attached. More from tom costello costello. From breathtaking aerial and homes for sale and unmanned drones are proving to be revolutionary. But at every major airport in the country one of those radio control helicopter things went right over the top of us at 4,000. Over the top of you at 4,000. Roger that. Pilots claim drones are a growing threat to aviation with very close calls. I would say about 100 feet below us. Off the right wing. 100 drone sightings each month, according to the faa. And nearly 1,000 spots in and near restricted air space. There is concern about Unmanned Aircraft winding up in the engine and leading to an emergency. Drones have even crashed at the u. S. Open and on the white house lawn. Today the transportation sect said the threat is so serious, he wanted to register every drone in the country and he asked an industry Government Task force to come up with a plan in just one month. Registration will help us enforce the rules against those who operate unsafely but allowing the faa to identify the operators of Unmanned Aircraft. In castle rock, colorado, kerry garrison said drones are flying off the shelves. This weekend a police chief asked him to help find his daughters missing horse. The next day, a drone found it caught a fence but registering every drone, said garrison, is not practical. Some of them will never even be outdoors. So im a little concerned about government overreach in trying to get a handle on it. He makes a point. That the vast majority of the drones he sell will never fly anywhere near a plane or airport. But they could sell almost 700,000 drone this is year. The government would like to register every one of them just like you register a car and register all of the drones that are already out there. Lester. Tom, thank you. Turning to the 2016 race and the increasingly ugly war of words between donald trump and jeb bush over 9 11. Trump is a frontrunner in the new poll at 25 . It is the highest support for him in our polls since he jumped into the race. But ben carson is a close second. Within the margin of error. Bush, meanwhile, is a distant fifth place. And as katy tur reports, bush is fuming over what trump is saying about his brothers legacy. Were going to build the wall as trump and carson battle for the top spot, trump and jeb bush are just battling. Squabbling other whether george w. Bush should be held accountable for international, 14 years after the worst terrorist attack in history. Tweeting this morning, jeb is fighting to defend a catastrophic event. Im fighting to make sure it doesnt happen again. Telling fox and friends. If my immigration policies were in effect, i dont know that would have happened because i have very, very strong immigration. The spat spilling into the week after escalating on sunday. Jeb said we were safe with my brother, we were safe. Well the World Trade Center just fell down. Now am i trying to blame him. Im not blaming anybody. I believe that if i were running things, i doubt those families i doubt those people would have been in the country. To say that fdr was around when japan attacked pearl harbor. It is what you do after that matters an that is the sign of leadership. Reporter this morning the Bush Campaign released an ad mocking his Foreign Policy credentials. I will be so good at the military your head will spin. Reporter and launched a fundraising effort, writing i need you to donate 5 and fight back against donald trump. I think it is risky for politicians to use 9 11 as a political attack or a way to raise money. It is really almost sacred ground for the united states. Reporter some here tonight say they dont like bringing 9 11 they would vote for trump any way. And nbc news can confirm the department has received official requests from the carson and trump campaigns for a secret service detail. The trump came is confirming that just now and ben carson is still denying he asked for it as Hillary Clinton will get a beefed up detail as well. Thank you.

A mixture of leaks and claims of authoritative information the likes of which could only happen here in washington. And lester, the bottom line is hardly a sources who are familiar with the Vice President s thinking have told me he could decide within the next 48 hours. But another source emphasizes only biden can really know when he is going to decide. Underscore, the Vice President has set and deadlines. Today some political analysts declined to talk about it, saying they have simply stopped trying to get what biden might do and when he might do it. For his part, the vice speculation today, with top advisers at his home in washington prompting more leaks. And Hillary Clinton month who is not campaigning this week as she prepares for a critical test on thursday. Testimony before the House Committee investigating benghazi. Lester. Thanks. Late news from south africa. Nbc news has learned Oscar Pistorius has been released from prison. A year after being convicted of gunning down his goifld in an ins sent he said was a terrible mistake. Jeff rosson is in johannesberg. His lawyer confirming to nbc news a short time ago that his client was released from prison tonight. It is a full day early. He was secretly escorted from prison under the cloak of darkness. He is served less than one year of his fiveyear sentence. He was convicted of in voluntarily manslaughter for shooting and killing his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. But tonight he is at his uncles luxury compound a few miles away under house arrest.

Police and troops are swarming palestinian areas, searching for suspects and knives. Building new check points, and a new wall to separate arabs from jews. Israel believes this wall can stop the wave of attacks. Palestinians say it will do nothing of the kind and it is collective punishment. What they cant stop is the excitement on social media for palestinians to stab and kill. Isis has now called on palestinians to step up their next attacks. There is no doubt that isis and what isis has done with knives, is unfortunately inspiring young palestinians. Reporter they say they need no inspiration. Decades of occupation and frustration fuel their fury. The fear is this is only the beginning. So the u. S. Is holding talks again.
