What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGood afternoon. The Wall Street Journal reports a FlyDubai co-pilot almost carried out an attack in July, according to people briefed on the investigation.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThey say he sought out airlines and routes that would take him to Israel, and had planned to act on an earlier trip.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo he was shopping for flights like a bargain hunter, but terrible. Gloria, is the co-pilot the one who sits on the left?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNo, Vera. Moving on. Al Jazeera reports the United Nations says more than two hundred thousand people are displaced as fighting escalates in Yemen.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThree thousand seven hundred have fled to Djibouti amid Houthi clashes. The U.N. warns three in four families in parts of Yemen face hunger.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHunger is awful. Fortunately, hunger is a buying opportunity for the food sector. Temporarily unrealized, but still a gift.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is not a gift, Vera. People are fleeing. Please read the room, which I have been asked to leave in several countries.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNoted. Was one of those rooms in Mongolia? Because I heard a goat is involved.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe do not discuss the goat. Finally, the BBC reports Israelis are demanding accountability three years after the seventh of October attacks.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to take personal responsibility or order a state inquiry. Taking no responsibility is, after all, a longstanding political tradition.
