[0:10] [Music]
[0:17] future. On World News Tonight this
[0:20] Wednesday, the Egypt air investigation.
[0:22] The US is accused of rushing to judgment
[0:25] with a suicide theory. From science
[0:28] today, a new theory on extending life
[0:31] manipulate the genes. So far, it has
[0:33] worked with mice. Our closer look at
[0:36] boys, friendship, and the ties that
[0:39] bind. And bound to his native village in

[1:45] suggests an Egypt Air co-pilot began to
[1:47] pray and then took the plane down
[1:49] intentionally. It's going to take some
[1:51] time and we're working well together.
