Freed hostages speak, human shield ordeal, pilot power cut

Hamas released two Israeli hostages yesterday. CNN’s Erin Burnett reports live from Tel Aviv about the elderly women’s accounts of being kidnapped and held captive by Hamas, the medical attention they and others received, and the “huge network” of tunnels they were hidden in. Plus, Yasmin Porat recounts being used as a human shield by Hamas, and the huge personal losses she has suffered in the war. And, an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after allegedly trying to cut engine power mid-flight. Also this morning: the House GOP push to elect a Speaker by tonight, and Russian detainee Paul Whelan speaks exclusively to CNN.
