Transcripts For CNNW Early Start With John Berman And Christ

Bomb on board and were taking that very seriously. British Prime Minister David Cameron says it is more likely than not it was a bomb that doomed the jetliner. We have the latest from our diana magnay in london with more. Reporter britain has so many tourists stranded in Sharm El Sheikh, 20,000, they are trying to get back. That is why David Cameron did what he did and said what he said. The intelligence they have been looking at makes it a reasonable conclusion or more likely than not the plane was brought down by a bomb. They have been very tightlipped about what that intelligence is. They have not shared it with egyptian or russian authorities. Much to their chagrin. We dont know if it is the same intelligence that the u. S. Is hearing. We have more detail on what that is, as you said, the chatter after the accident among individuals supposedly linked with isis affiliate in sinai led u. S. Officials to suspect this might have been a bomb. They do stress this evidence is circumstantial at best. Of course, everybody saying we must not prejudge the investigation. The reason why David Cameron and egyptian president stood together here in the 10 downing street and cameron says he was defending his decision to suspend flights to Sharm El Sheikh and increase security to get british tourists back home safely. Thank you, diana. Thousands of british tourists stranded in Sharm El Sheikh are now trying to get home. Really trying. British officials had suspended all flights to and from Sharm El Sheikh after the jet crash. They are worried about the security or possibility of a new terrorist attack. This morning with Extraordinary Security measures in place, airlines are being allowed to fly tourists one way home to the united kingdom. Egyptian officials are working with the security, but reject the claims the plane was likely brought down by terrorists. Lets get to Erin Mclaughlin in Sharm El Sheikh for latest. Erin, as thousands of people are trying to get home. How is it going this morning . Reporter john, we are just getting new information from the airline easyjet. They were supposed to have been flying empty passenger planes here to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport picking up british tourists and taking them home. They put out a statement in london saying those flights, empty flights to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport have been canceled. It is not clear why they have chose tone do that. We know that at least two flights that were already here at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport have left full of british tourists for the united kingdom. That according to airline o officials at the airport. The passengers that manage to make it home today will only be able to take their hand luggage. They have to leave any bags that they want to checkin behind. That is because British Security Officials Say they are concerned about the cargo hold luggage of the planes at this airport. It is unclear what part of the security procedures they are most concerned about. If they are concerned about access to the plane or concerned about the baggage screening process. Again, as i said, easyjet taking the decision not to flight planes into Sharm El Sheikh International Airport this morning. We are working on more information to find out why. John. Interesting development with so much focus and concern. Obviously heightened sensitivity. Erin mclaughlin, live in Sharm El Sheikh. Officials are urged to wait for the result of the crash investigation before concluding it is terrorism. A Russian Aviation official says investigators working in egypt will check plane wreckage for traces of explosives. This as two victims of the disaster were the first laid to rest in russia. We have the latest from our nic roberts robertson. Reporter we are outside a cemetery on the edges of st. Petersburg. There will be a funeral here in the next few hours. One of several as the dead from the flight begin to be buried. We are finding families asking a lot of questions. They are frustrated and they are not getting answers. One family told us yesterday a group of families were told in a brutal, they felt, and hard way by the region governor that they would not be able to get bodies for burial. The best they could hope for was some kind of identification of body pieces. Families are finding this brutal and frustrated. They are not getting straight answers from the russian government about why this crash took place. There is a concern that it may be terrorism. Concern among families that the government doesnt want to say what they call the hard truth about this. Russia, in the meantime, says the investigation will take some time to complete. Possibly months. They will not speculate. Calling the speculations of a bomb put on board the flight and the best indication the way the russian government feels about the report so far is the fact they have not canceled flights from Sharm El Sheikh. Flights from russia are still going to Sharm El Sheikh. At the moment, the russian government is saying wait for the investigation to be completed. That could take time. For the families, the pain of burying their loved ones and pain of not knowing why or how they precisely died. John. Thank you, nic. In the wake of the crash, u. S. Officials may alter the security at airports. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Mike mccall says the tsa is looking at enhancing screening at hot spot airports overseas. I talked to secretary johnson. He is looking at tsa procedures overseas. I think it is important to tell the American People that any flight coming outside the united states, a direct flight into the u. S. , would go through a more heightened security procedure than what is in egypt. The chairman notes that beefing up security overseas requires the cooperation of the host country. Big changes coming to the republican president ial debate stage. Some candidates pushed off the main stage. Others not allowed to participate at all. We are breaking it down next.

Carson in his 1990 book wrote that he was violent as a teenager. He once tried stab someone. That was all before he found god. His redemption story has been powerful and earned him a lot of support over the years. Cnn though went back and tried to meet and find some of the people talked about in his book. Some of the people he may have been violent with or towards. Cnn talked to a lot of people who knew him and found ben carson to be a quiet, studious child. Not violent. Carson who never has revealed who he tried stab is still not willing to identify who that person is. It was a close relative in my family. I really dont want to get into the details of who that person was. Also, i want to point out how silly the cnn investigation is because when i would have flashes of temper, it would only be the people who were directly involved. It wouldnt be something that everybody else would know. Carson says he will let the American People decide if he is a pathlogical liar. Lets get more from sunlen serfaty. Reporter good morning. Carson is on the defense pushing back on the claims of what he said about his own violent childho childhood. Trying to brush aside questions. Here in florida, he told reporters not to expect any of his childhood friends to corroborate his accounts. Heres what he told us when we caught up with him leaving a book signing in miami. I want everybody to know about private incidents like that. I was generally a nice person. I had a very bad temper. Unless you were the victim of that temper, just because you happen to know me, doesnt make sense. Reporter carson has identified two of his past as jerry and bob, only revealing their first names. Now he is saying they are actually fictitious names. He says it is not up to him to reveal their true identity. They have not come forward yet if they want to speak up. Donald trump bounced on the issues surrounding his closest republican rival. He wrote on twitter about this narrative. He writes the carson story is either a fabrication or worse. Joining us to discuss all of this is cnns steven sloane. This is a real shuffling of the deck, if you will. Tough news for Lindsey Graham and George Pataki. They will not participate at all. Trump and carson right in the middle. What do you make of the gop and Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee kicked off the main stage. What do you think . The fact that Chris Christie is not on the main stage, that is the headline out of this. What a fall for Chris Christie. In 2012, people were begging him to run for president. He is struggling this cycle. He cant play on the big stage in primetime. This raises questions about how he goes forward. He will be on the debate stage. Lindsey graham and George Pataki will not. Graham was out campaigning every day and not out to debate. They are looking at polling. We are in the part of the process where the debates are vetting the candidates both senator graham and governor pataki are struggling and generating headlines, but struggle to gain in the polls. This debate lineup reflecting that. Lets talk about jeb bush. He says he needs a reboot in his debate skills. There is a lot riding on this for him. He has to show he is president ial, but also in charge. Right. This is a crucial debate performance for jeb bush. He had a difficult performance at the last debate to say the least. A lot riding on him to show he can communicate. He has been on the campaign trail and bus tour being a bit more personal. The debate stage is where it has been difficult for him this sicksic cycle. He has to step it up and perform. This is where crucial campaign moments have happened. Hillary clinton was on jimmy kimmel. They had an interesting conversation about jeb bush. Lets listen to that. Do you feel at all sorry for jeb bush . You kn you know, he is a very accomplished man. He is making his case. Running for president is hard. When he comes out with a slogan, jeb can fix it. When you are back in the office, do you die laughing . Is that amusing to you . You know, look, hes obviously trying to continue to relate to the republican electorate. It sounds like he is running a handyman business. He should be on the side of a van. If i were to advise him, i would say, you know, theres a lot you can do about trying to fix things. Maybe they should put a number on the side of the bus for people to call. It sounds like she wants to run against jeb bush. I think she was extraordinarily sensitive. She sounds like she has been through a tough campaign and not go well, namely empathy. There is no one, democrat or republican, in the field into 2016 who understand what is jeb bush is going through maybe more than hillary clinton. They are both titans of politics. They have really faced headwinds from outsiders going into the season. Hillary clinton had a big outsider in 2008. Shes struggled at points with bernie sanders. They are very different places. She is dominating the democratic side and jeb bush is struggling on the republican side. I think she has empathy for him. Last question back to the ben carson issue. It is ironic he is asked to prove he was as violent and awful as a kid as he said he was. Do you think this hurts him at all with supporters who really liked him for an awfully long time . That is something we will look at in the next few days. This is certainly undercutting the narrative he put out there. I think carson has tapped into the evangelical base. Im not sure they are worried about whether he punched someone or tried to knife someone as a teenager. It undercuts the narrative. Steven sloan, thank you. Lets look at your money this friday morning. Asian shares are higher. 2. 5 month high for china stocks. European shares are moving lower in the first couple hours of trading. On wall street, the big story happens at 8 30 eastern. The october jobs report. 181,000 jobs added which is the prediction. That is up from september. The Unemployment Rate is likely 5 . That is what the prediction is here from the folks that we ask. The report crucial to raise Interest Rates in december. If that happens, a lot of people are saying it will be this report to help make that decision.
