Or this ill faded flight departed. All flights into egypt. This is despite insistence from the kremlin that bomb theories are mere speculation. The kremlin has now said to be working on a plan to bring 50,000 russian vacationers home, a process now underway on a smaller scale with the brits. So i have Richard Quest with me, cnn aviation correspondent. Also renee marsh is with us as well. Renee, let me begin with you on the reporting. Talk to me about it. This is inbound flights into the United States from certain airports overseas, yes . Right, and they are being very vague. They dont list out which airports will be impacted and thats for security reasons. But this is the first time were hearing from the department of Homeland Security since the jet liner went down. Heres the headline. E we know that according to the statement from secretary johnson that they plan on expanding screening of items going on to the aircraft. They also will be working with foreign governments to assess the security structures at their airports. They also go on to say that they plan on putting forward other measures seen and unseen chr, w is a line we hear quite a bit. Often time when is you push back on that, what does that mean . They dont want to give up that information because they say they dont want the bad actors to know everything that they plan on doing. So on the surface it doesnt look overly dramatic. What it looks like is an enhancement of measures that are currently in place. You can expect to see those stepped up even more. Travelers, what would you expect to see . Perhaps youll see more random checks, more canines, more officers, more swabbing of the hands, more random checking of luggage. Those are the sort of things that travelers traveling from overseas airports with direct flights to the United States will see and we must also point out one last point. The reason why this is so important is whenever youre a foreign airport and you have direct flights to the United States you do have to abide by tsa rules. So they are going to be working specifically with those airports to make sure that they are structure is up to task. Thank you so much. Richard quest is also with me. Its a very tricky area for the u. S. What the u. S. Is saying to these foreign airports is if you want direct flights to the United States, youre going to have to follow certain rules. But it is extraterritorial in that sense. They cant enforce it. They cant demand it. They said if you want the direct flights, this is what we require you to do. Im not so sure many passengers will notice much difference. Assistance to foreign airports to security assessments in conjunction. Translate that. The british has been doing that in sharm el shake. Certain expanded screening. Youll look at more screening of c cargo. Youll look at more screening of luggage. Youll have more information correlated to the various passengers coming together. On cargo, let me move away from security. This is what were getting from the bbc. Reaction from russia. Were hearing reports that the uk suspects a bomb was placed in the cargo hold possibly by a worker. So an inside job. If there is the possibility that there is some nefarious individual on the inside. Working at the sharm airport, why is the airport not shut down . The airport is not shut down. But there are the most dramatic restrictions on flights going in and out. But what about those working at the airport . They are checking all those. The people working in the airport have always been the weakest link versus the passengers. Every passenger comes in the front door with their bags and you can check them up to a certain point. We talk about this state side as well. The people working there in the thousands, often much lower lax security areas. Its always been the weak point. The other weak point is cargo. Because of the sheer volumes. You dont suspect cargo. They have trusted programs for freight. Its always been known these are the weakest areas in the security chain. You want to jump in on this . This gives u. S. Officials and other International Officials a chance to do checks they wanted to do but hadnt been able to do before. If you talked to dhs or contractors privately, they will tell you there are plenty of airports where they think the system isnt rigorous enough. Something broke down here, if this was a bomb. Even though i have also got an lot of u. S. Officials telling me were not sure what this was, if it was a bomb, the system on the ground didnt work and this is a they have a responsibility and an opportunity to review every step along the way. What about russia now . The brits are trying to get vacationers outside of sharm. Russia suspended flights into egypt as general. What about putin . When will we have a forceful response from putin . 244 People Killed on the plane, majority russians. What does he need to say . Its putins engineers and investigators who are on the ground looking at this wreckage. Apparently, not sharing very much with the americans. So the fact that he has now said just to be on the safe side, we shouldnt fly in and out of egypt has led other officials to believe maybe they are on to something. Maybe they found something in their analysis of the black box that is a smoking gun. And because of that youll see a slow cascade of actions. You have seen russia inside syria step up attacks on isis areas. Now the pentagon is still saying that these are attacks. They have mostly concentrated fire power on the rebels, but its just possible that they are moving and focusing on isis buzz of what they suspect happened in egypt. Since it is still a what if situation and it could be for some time, what are investigators doing right now as far as looking at pieces of debris . We reported pieces in some of these depending where they were on the plane. What they are doing is literally examining it fragment by fragment. So you start off and youve got millions of pieces of a jigsaw. And you start putting it together. Ill give you an example. The passengers got the front of the plane dont have certain damage to their bodies. The passengers at the back do. Because of the Forward Momentum . Im just giving an example. You know whatever may have happened happened in the back because the injuries are different. Now youre looking to see how the rips and the tears and the residues on that part of the aircraft might be different from the front of the aircraft. Youre looking to see what sort of strains that the airplane took. It really unless they manage to find a piece of wreckage with residue on, you are very much this could take weeks if not months before somebody definitively has that piece of evidence that says, yes, it is definitely a bomb.

Lets get you to the latest in the republican race for the white house. Cnns new poll shows ben carson has a serious chance of winning the first contest here in the nation, the Iowa Caucuses on february 1st. Hes 2 points behind the leader here donald trump and that is within the margin of error. And while donald trump called carson low energy, the neurosurgeon was certainly on high octane this morning with a Fiery Exchange with my friend and colleague who asked him about the violent episodes in his youth that cnn has tried to corroborate. Thz over his biography. And he describes punching a cls mate, going after his mother, nearly killing a friend for changing the radio station. But ten classmates and neighbors who grew up with ben carson told cnn they have no memory of the anger or the violence that this candidate has described. So carson this morning was defending himself. This is a bunch of lies attempting to say that im lying about my history. I think its pathetic. And basically what the media does is try to get you distracted with all of this stuff so you dont talk about the things that are important because we have so many important things. Im not proud of the fact that i had these rage episodes. But im proud of the fact i got. Over them. Your story has changed. First you say that bob was your close friend who you almost killed. And then yesterday you said actually his name wasnt bob. I changed the names. Thats fine. People do that all the time in their memoirs. I changed names throughout all the books. Even of patients because unless i have specific permission from them to use their names, thats an inappropriate things to do. One of the tactics that is used by you guys in the media, particularly when someone is doing very well, is lets find a a way to get them distracted and get all the people distracted so that we can get away from the real issues. Im not going to allow that to occur. You call this tactics. Its called vet iting. You know it well just from the short time youve been in the race. President obamas autobiography was also vetted. You will recall give me a break. Are you kidding me . I have with me now maeve rest tin. She joins me now. What an exchange that was. It went on for a little while this morning. Yes, ben carson edadmits to changing the names of some individuals in his book. Was that known before you went out knocking on doors trying to get more information here . No, and just to take a step back here for a second. We approached this story because dr. Carson was out on the campaign trail telling a lot of these powerful stories about his teenage years. Basically he came forward and talked about them so we wanted to find the people who knew about these incidents. We went out and talked to people in detroit. We talked to classmates at all ages of his life and basically what they said none of them challenged his story directly, as you can read in our story at cnn. Com. But there were some who were skeptical. They said that this person hes described, this violent young man was not someone recognizable to them. There was one of the ten people who talked to us on the record who said that he may have heard a rumor at the time about the attempted stabbing incident. But i want to come back to the point that this is not only a temperament issue ben carson has talked about having had a pathological temper in those days, but it also is a very important piece of how he has connected with evangelicals on the trawl. To talk about these moments in his life when god reached down and in a moment of divine intervention helped him cure his temper through prayer. He said he never had another violent outburst again, so thats why we were looking into this chapter of his life, as we would with any candidate and were looking forward to talk to more people. To the point about when he was talking to allison saying the media didnt vet senator obama when he was running for the presidency. That is absolutely incorrect. When you run for office and when you run for the president of the United States, you will be vetted. Thats how this works. Well, i mean, thats the kind of its obviously the president ial contest is a very grueling process. But it is a period we complain about how long it is, but its a period in which every aspect of your background and your personal story are examined and issues like temperament are things that voters certainly do consid consider. So with president obama i remember talking for many weeks writing stories about the reverend Jeremiah Wright and other aspects of president obamas past. There are countless examples of that. We have given Hillary Clinton a very thorough vetting. To find this kind of examination into a candidates past unusual, im just a little puzzled by that. This is someone who is running for president of the United States. Maeve rest on to, keep doing your job, thank you very much. Thank you so much. As we will continue, and i know others will as well, these different candidates stories, because look at how hes doing in the polls. Hes doing well. Another big question will the scrutiny impact his momentum moving forward. With me now is associate e editor of the hill and ben ferguson. Welcome to both of you. If i may, i know other networks are talking about our reporting and asking ben carson himself if we the media, liberal media, thats their word, trying to end his campaign. Its our job, especially with the candidate who is very bright man. He doesnt have a voting record. He has no real political exposure before this year. And a candidates story who we have found some inconsistencien. We have to do our job. With ben carson, perhaps if he were the nominee, this would hurt him but the outside candidates seenl to have nine lives. How much will this hurt him . I dont ladies, first. I think that his response, number one, among the conservative primary electorate on the republican side they dont trust the media. Whenever a candidate is under the spotlight and say things whether its in a debate, as we saw last week or on the trail, about how unfair the medias vetting process is or investigations into them are, it goes over well with voters. Ben carson supporters absolutely adore this man and totally devoted and his story of a previous violent past where he went from sinner to saved and was healed by his faith and god is very powerful to it them. So whether he talks about the pyramids or how he turned from a violent youth into the zen master he is today, the calm and peaceful person that we see who is unflappable, they love that. They think that the media obviously is being unfair. At some point, however, as maeve reported, questions about whether or not you live in a Small Community where everyones parents knew all the kids, sometimes even disciplined other kids from other families, they were so tightly knit as a community, the idea that this man could have gone after his mother with a hammer and not had a reputation for that and be known for that is truly bizarre. Thats going to have to stand up over the next two months before the voting starts. Ben ferguson, what do you say . I dont think this is going to be a big issue. Especially with supporters. It will solidify his base even more. Youre talking about time when youre 14 years old. Can you have violent outbursts . He says he did. I dont have any reason to not believe him. Do u believe you can turn it around and go. In a different direction . Based on where he went from that point forward in it had his life, knowing he wanted to be a doctor and help people and stay out of trouble in an area where there was plenty of trouble to get into, i think this is going to solidify his story. And also it fits the narrative, which is it is im an outsider. The media is going to try u to destroy me. Dont let them do it. It will probably help him in the primaries. Precisely what im thinking as were thinking february 1st in iowa. Throw the e media under the bus. Thats you want to hear. Really, you want to talk about the issues. You didnt go after president obama. This has to be awesome for his base. I think that we saw this nearly four years ago. When john king asked Newt Gingrich about his adultery and turned it around and became this debate moment for Newt Gingrich where he beat up on the media. This is why americans don
