Shes a liar and Everybody Knows that. Reporter but trumps taking heat, too, for embracing praise from russian president vladimir putin, and defending him against accusations hes ordered journalists killed. Its never been proven that hes killed anybody, so, you know, youre supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. At least in our country.

Signing a photo for the pilot who flew president obama and him over new jersey after superstorm sandy.

Within hours the ceo of air france announced the suspected explosive device was a false alarm. He said it was nothing more than cardboard, paper and d kitchen timer. Since the attacks in paris that killed 130 four air france flights have been diverted because of bobo threats. S. Airline flight crews are always on a very high state of alert. And i think what you would see is a similar response, regardless of the tragedieses in paris, and in elsewhere around the world, the russian metro jet, so i think that they acted in accordance with their training and that training was in place long before the most recent terrorist evenen. Reporter most of the passengers were taken to hotels. To wait for flights out of kenya tonight. But a kenyan official said six are being detained for questioning.

In this country now, the hunt goes on tonight for the texas teenager who killed four people while driving drunk, and received only probation after his lawyer claimed his familys affluence spoiled him and was a factor. From nbcs kerry sanders. Reporter tonight, the u. S. Marshals service says it believes someone must be helping fugitive ethan couch elude capture. If it is his mother, tanya couch, who also went missing nine days ago, it just got harder for her to hide, as well. Tonight, the Tarrant CountyDistrict Attorney officially listed tanya couch as a missing person, which means she will also now show up on National Police databases. Hes getting help. We just got to find out how hes doing it. Would it be his mother . I think its a safe assumption. We have not yet located the mother. But, yeah, she could be helping him. Reporter the d. A. Says ethan couch may have fled because of this video. That appears to show couch with friends playing beer pong. If there was alcohol, that could be a violation of his probation. But its unclear, as the video does not show couch drinking. When somebody takes off, whos got a probation sentence, you have to wonder whether theres some concern about a violation that might and as the former u. S. Attorney youve seen that happen . Weve seen many times where somebody got a generous term of probation, blew it by committing a crime, and getting put in prison for the whole time. Reporter ever since uchs controversial affluenza defense, an unexpected tenyear probation, there have been complaints of special treatment for the wealthy.

Reporter judge jean boyd sentenced ethan couch and also set the conditions of his probation. We attempted to ask her about the developments today, but she was unavailable at home and didnt answer her phone. Tonight, the u. S. Marshal says even if ethan couch has fled the country, hes not beyond their reach. It really doesnt matter if he flees the country. Were going to find him and well make that person back. Reporter tonight the u. S. Marshals say theyre confident that ethan couch will be behind bars and in jail soon, inart because they say even the wealthy eventually need to use a credit card, and a cell phone, and those, they say, are easily tracked.
