forward with that nuclear weapons test. tells you how tense things are in this region as well as the ukraine. martha? he s got a lot on his plate. thank you very much. we ll see you later. now we have a fox news alert for you. a strange hijacking scare that they said was caused by a drunken passenger that shook up a virgin australia flight. the airplane was traveling from br brisbane, australia to bali, indonesia. katie, is everybody okay? everybody is fine, eric. all 137 passengers and the seven crew are safe on the grounds in bali. but they certainly had a scare. as you described, this passenger began banging very aggressively on the cockpit door. the pilot was then prompted to declare a flight emergency. the flight was able to land as normal at its intended destination in bali. the crew were able to detain this man and handcuff him.
a secret service agent passed out drunk in a hallway in a hotel. i ll give secretary johnson some space to do that. he seems pretty dedicated. martha: senator, thank you very much. thanks for your interest. eric: it could be a potentially huge day in college sports. not because what of what s going to happen on the field, but what s going to happen off the field. players deciding whether to join a union. martha: growing calls for investigation into recent deaths at va hospitals. veterans dying reportedly because they had to wait too long for their treatment. we are trying to get to the bottom of it and see if someone is covering it up. i was screaming. how dare you.
on that one. eric: is the region under fire watches and warnings. reporter: low humidity levels create the conditions for the rapid spread of those fires. warnings were in place a couple days before this happened. the extreme heat forced firefighters to fall back self times. in tom s river officials closed their middle school and then moved into that school and set it up as a fire department command post. eric: luckily no injuries. martha: an obamacare debacle asking the fed for help after people who tried to sign up found themselves in glitch after glitch when they tried to sign up.

they re only going to get, according to the journal, 325 million and that s before the lawyers take their piece. as to the latter part of your question, martha, yeah, these tech companies are wildly profitable. they could easily afford 3 billion or 10 billion. apple, for example, makes approximately $800 million pure profit a week. 10 billion every 13 weeks. that is an awful lot of money. they could afford to pay. they re not going to pay very much. boy. that s quite a story. stewart, thank you. we ll see you on the business channel. talk about trying to get a job. did you see this? the little girl making a touching job pitch to first lady michelle obama. my dad has been out of a job for three years and i wanted to give you his resume. oh, my goodness. all right. i ll take it. well, it s a little private, but she s doing something for
