liberated a number of towns near kharkiv. the region where they reported the civilian killed has seen several explosions. the cause is missiles and bombs. ukraine has not confirmed nor denied responsibility for the blast. another major development is finland joining nato possibly. they agreed to assist each other militarily should either country face attack. finland shares an 800 mile border with russia. finland s president will contact vladimir putin if that should happen. if that will be the case, what my response would be that you caused this. vladimir putin s profile. critics made a daring escape from russia. she ll tell us how she managed to get out. we ll start of the report of the russian civilian killed. scott mcclain. scott, since the first time this war began in february, what do we know? reporter: anderson, yeah. as you mentioned earlier, this is an area where ukrainians have been making progress in taking towns and villages around kharkiv. in those areas they
harrison, you would never know by listening to their calm exchange. he was a really good listener. how good of a landing is it? i ve never flown that plane, he didn t damage it and nobody got hurt. reporter: they were definitely happy to see each other after the plane was on the ground. i was just about in tears. i didn t cry. i was trying to be strong and look very manley but i kind of wanted to cry. it was just a lot of emotion. gave him a big bear hug, shook hands. told him i owe him a cold beer. he said, no, i owe you a cold beer. we re joined at palm beach international airport. how are the passenger and pilot doing? reporter: yeah, so we re still trying to get a little bit more information on the pilot and that passenger. we know harris lives just outside of tampa and that he works at a flooring business. a co-worker there said he is a very private person and his family, they did not want to
just become such an extremely divisive issue but, again, talking about the mac alan area, first of all, blocking a bus that s legally transporting people, okay, that s kind of a violation of a law but whatever, secondly, again, i have worked the mcalan, texas sector as international pilot doing border patrol in the air, it is not a secure area, there are border patrol agents that do their best but there s constantly drugs and illegal immigrants that come over that border so to protest there especially instead of maybe helping to secure the border and then having compassion to people in these situations is kind of ironic. congressman, should there be a political price if democrats don t address immigration reform? of course, what we are putting, this bill this week is about 80% issue, about 80%
did practice that during that flight. certainly it seems as though there were some very very interesting things happening even on that outbound flight that this newspaper says could very well indicate that he was trying to test the waters in all this. all right. helpful. so mary more information. reuters is saying that the report is out and that it shows that the pilot ignored a dozen contacts from authorities during the ill-fated flight which makes sense he d be ignoring it. but also that he set the autopilot to 100 feet five different times during the earlier flight. what does that mean to you? well that s very alarming. while you ve got a plane load full of passengers and put your autopilot to 100 feet again over a very busy corridor in europe there s just no reason to do that. and you have to wonder what was the pilot doing presumably the pilot in command was following this. and that flight he wasn t out of the cockpit.
that co-pilot of the doomed germanwings flight committed mass murder. investigators now believe andreas lubitz repeatedly practiced putting the plane into a deadly descent on the flight right before the one that left all 150 people on board dead. the information comes from a preliminary report by the b.e.a. the french agency investigating the march 24th crash. it put forth this graph to explain how lubitz rehearsed. note the red at zero level there. so this is exactly how long and how often lubitz according to this report set the plane to drop toward 100 feet. the same auto pilot setting flight 9525 was at when it crashed into the french alps. fred what was the pilot doing when his co-pilot was entering 100 feet altitude? well that s really part of
