[0:00] one more night on Hainan Island uh

[0:03] before they uh get on a plane to bring

[0:05] them back to Guam uh where the plane

[0:07] will either refuel or they'll switch

[0:09] planes to a military transport aircraft

[0:12] and fly to Hawaii which is the

[0:14] headquarters of the Pacific Command. If

[0:16] you do the arithmetic for all those

[0:18] flight times that works out to arriving

[1:02] plane landed on Chinese territory

[1:04] without permission. You'll notice that

[1:06] the president was somewhat measured and

[1:08] took no questions. I think they want to

[1:10] be certain that there is no further

[1:11] hitch in this deal and that the crew

[1:13] does get off the island sometime today.

[1:16] Right. Bill, the president expressing

[1:18] sorrow. Are you led to believe that was

[1:19] part of the deal? It's not clear, but it

[1:22] may very well have been, or it m
