The latest news and information from around the world with host Ana Cabrera. Theft and crash is it also reveals an enormous security issue. Were lucky that only that man at the controls was involved. Imagine if this commercial plane had been full of passengers. Juliette kayyem. And scott miller a commercial pilot for 30 years. If this Ground Worker is able to grab a plane and take off how far is a stretch is it for someone with more sinister intentions to do the same thing. There is always going to be a risk in aviation and particularly from what would be known as an insider threat, someone who has gone through security, that the company at least has sort of confidence in.

A recap of the days news. The russia investigation, but i think in terms of optics as people watch all of this, it doesnt paint a picture of a group of men and donald trump is among them in the broader sense who play outside the rules, who bend rules when it comes to the financial stuff. Who are playing with players, oligarchs, that word thats been banned from the courtroom.

Of course, we do have a lot of conversation between air Traffic Control and the horizon employee. As for the pilot himself, obviously, he went through extensive needs means to get that.

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Legislation that this congress has been pushing forward. The biggest example of it was the corrupt gop tax scam where 83 of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1 . This was not done for the people. Thats what we stand for as democrats. It was done for the lobbyist, the wealthiest, the billionaires. This is corruption happening in plain sight. I would not disagree that is corrupt. But that is every day corruption. That is a system that is shot through with corruption. I dont want to minimize that. We are talking about specific corruption in that this president has a whole host of corrupt relationships to his business and things like that. That my question would, what would they do if they got the majority they are lying, cheating, stealing and doing it with impunity.
