Officials report the massive officials report the massive u. S. Air strikes targeting the terror group in iraq killed more than 250 isis fighters. Martha raddatz has the latest from washington.

Or perhaps its time to seize the day. Dont just see opportunity, seize it applause no sleep to brooklyn its true that now that the spotlight is pretty bright here in new york some things have been said. Can you name one decision she made as senator that shows she favored banks because of the money she received . [ applause ] he can not come up with any example because there is no example. I stood up against the behaviors of the banks when i was a senator. I called them out on their mortgage behavior. Secretary clinton called them out. Oh, my goodness. They must have been really crushed by this. And was that before or after you received huge sums of money by giving speaking engagements . Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Thats not accurate. I have stood on the debate stage with senator sanders eight prior times. I have said the exact same thing senator, please. If we can do in the los angeles or new york or seattle, lets do it.

Apologizing for using private email while secretary of state. In a nationwide poll out today, clinton down a whopping 10 points in just one month. Just yesterday, clinton said she didnt need to apologize for the email controversy calling it quote a distraction, but take a listen to what she said moments ago in an interview with abc news. I do think i could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier. I really didnt perhaps appreciate the need to do that. What i had done was allowed. It was above board but in retrospect certainly as i look back at it now, even though it was allowed, i should have used two accounts, one for personal, one for workrelated emails. That was a mistake. Im sorry about that. I take responsibility. Im trying to be as transparent as i possibly can. This as her advisors admit some critics say belatedly that her Campaign Needs changes. While her poll numbers steadily drop, Vice President joe bidens are soaring. Biden moving into second place
Indonesia that have actually been banned from flying into the European Union because of either safety or regulatory concerns. Most airlines that come out of indonesia with the exception of the National Carrier and a handful of others are on this eu blacklist because of safety concerns. Many people are asking the same questions that you are, about the safety of these airlines, about the training of the pilots. The other thing theyre dealing with is this very rugged terrain. Theyre saying this is a very mountainous area, wooded area. Theyre working on the assumption based on reports that the plane did come down in the mountainous area. So they will be out this morning with six aircraft looking for any debris, for any signs of wood burning. But the area is 12,000 feet above sea level. Very difficult. We also know planes have come down in this region before and wreckage has never been found. We havent heard about any potential victims or if anybody made it through alive. Kathie thank you v
