All of this happening saturday morning on north koreas north coast near wonsan. Anywhere from 70 to 200 kilometers, then crashed at sea. Japan says the projectiles did not enter its waters. The u.

Natasha, what are you learning, first, about this ntsb team and about this crash . Reporter right. Well, i just spoke to an ntsb Public Affairs officer who says there is a team of 16 people coming to investigate what exactly happened with this crash landing. Now, as far as we know, this flight was taking off from Naval Air Station Guantanamo Bay yesterday. And came to Naval Air Station jacksonville where we are. Right behind the gates, the tarmac, where it apparently skidded at about 9 40 last night eastern time. Now, this ntsb team is taking off from d. C. At 9 00 a. M.

And its michael copes day that he has to report. So much going on on monday. You make a good point. It feels like the democrats are playing to one guy named john roberts. If any

The white house says the conversation took place this morning and that it went on for over an hour. Russias staterun news agency released a photo of putin on the phone with trump.
