media chatter by isis supporters and calls by the terror group to strike in the west. >> i don't think they are capable of a large scare attack. certainly an attack which could kill maim or wound hundreds of people. >> reporter: police departments in los angeles, philadelphia, boston and atlanta, tightening up security measures. >> constantly seeking to be creative proactive. the name of the game is to prevent it. >> at the washington mall they are preparing. taking security measures. the city swept for explosives even out of sea where hundreds of boaters will be watching the fireworks. snipers strategically placed spotters inside the crowds and 100 mobile cameras will capture activities on land and in the air. >> there's no credible event. our operating premise is that we are the target in new york city all the time.

[ sirens ] >> reporter: on thursday within minutes of the first report of shots fired inside washington's naval yard the entire complex was locked down as hundreds of police s.w.a.t. teams and federal investigators swarmed the scene, blocking streets as helicopters hovered overhead. the threat a false alarm, but reveals that law enforcement is at the ready this holiday weekend. >> bring your family have a great time. you are going to be at the most well secured event in the city. >> reporter: already this holiday weekend in fayetteville north carolina officers arresting a man walking through the mall with an ar-15 rifle, ammunition and a vest. everyone under heavy watch this weekend. alisyn? >> boris, thank you. that massive response at washington's navy yard showing federal and local authorities are at the ready.

the reports of a shooting had much to do about nothing. we are live this morning in washington after a tense day yesterday. >> reporter: it was a tense day. the response michaela was huge and quick and underscores how on edge authorities are going into the holiday weekend, treating every threat seriously. thursday morning, it started to unfold as a woman inside the navy yard dialed 911 and reported what she thought was a gunshot. within minutes, the building on lockdown. hundreds of police responded. it boosted a security increase at the capitol and at the white house, pennsylvania avenue quickly shut down. white house tours, at that time canceled. three hours went by as police pain stakingly went floor by floor, room by room at the navy yard to search the building. that ended up to be nothing. the d.c. police said that shows the city is ready going into the holiday weekend. >> we are aware of what you

know the discussion and chatter is around the fourth of july events and the threats. we take those into account. we change our tactics but never lower our posture. we always maintain a high posture. >> reporter: it comes as there's a change in security at the white house. this week secret service installed large steel spikes to deter white house fence jumpers. >> that should be effective. thanks so much. more on the new york prison escape. richard matt one of the two that escaped wrote to his daughter before the breakout promising to see her on the outside. jean casarez is live. tell us more about the letter jean. >> reporter: the letter is from allegedly from richard matt to his daughter and the buffalo news is reporting his daughter got that letter after he escaped

but it was written and sent before. in the letter he says i'm going to see you on the outside. i made you a promise, i'm going to stick with it. that is a new development. there's changes going on at the prison behind me. we want to show everybody, at this point, 13 employees were put on paid administrative leave. the cells in the prison are now inspected weekly by senior staff and the tunnels are inspected monthly, random checks of cells and the honor block that inmates work their years for has been eliminated. getting more information on those employees put on administrative leave. some were correctional officers not not, some at various levels of security. i spoke to a corrections officer on his way to work today. anonymously, of course he would not give me his name. he said that those that have been placed on administrative

leave have not been involved in the breakout in any part. i said do you believe and do your fellow officers believe they were targeted? he said yes, we do. john back to you. they do not feel those that have been placed on administrative leave, that it is warranted. it is paid they haven't lost they're jobs but they are not working right now. john? >> i'll take it from here. thank you very much. boko haram terrorizing nigeria. they killed at least 145 people since wednesday in raids on at least three villages. 97 people were killed in a single attack on a fishing village. the nigeria village responded and pledged allegiance to isis. a crucial vote sunday on a referendum for a bailout deal from predators. the prime minister is expected to be at the rally to support

the no vote. european leaders are warning that could affect greece's future in the euro zone. an internal investigation after photos surfaced of a sign that says enjoy your ride because we sure will. police officials telling cnn this is concerning and unacceptable unacceptable. this is following freddie gray's death. he suffered an injury and later died. u.s. intelligence officials warning of potential attacks here this holiday weekend. what chatter are they hearing? julie is the former assistant director of homeland security and ceo of guidepost solutions, and michael weiss. great to see cow this morning. julie, you were in the depment

of homeland security under president bush. what are your contacts telling you? >> they are concerns this morning. what we have here is not only a major holiday weekend, a very important holiday for america, we have ramadan going on and isis trying to recruit lone wolves to inspire attacks around the country. i think what we are seeing from the fbi is more on ground immediate, early arrests. definitely heightened surveillance and quick arrests. this is some of the biggest surveillance and a threat management we have seen since close to 9/11. >> you say that's the thing that tipped you off that this was actually serious. this was more than the usual level of threat when you saw the fbi setting up command centers. what does that mean? >> that's exactly right. certainly after 9/11 for every major holiday, law enforcement is always on alert.

terrorists like those holidays. they know they are important to americans. now, with the command centers around the country and certainly with the attacks we have seen overseas it's a sign something more is going on. we have to be extra careful and pay close attention. >> michael, ramadan, that's a holy month. why are we more concerned? >> every terrorist organization including isis comes out with a statement. this is the time they have to earn their glory. last year, the leader of isis in his first sermon from the mosque said exactly that. a few days ago, a few weeks ago, the spokesman of isis came out and said this is the time to get fire. there's nothing out of the ordinary. the problem is one terrorist attack interrupted by isis every month. i mean inspired.

>> they are breaking up one a month? >> one a month. "the new york times" did a ser va on survey on this. it's been 15 years since 9/11. a lot of people meant to keep us safe in new york the fbi and nypd they haven't had a break since 9/11. they are doing it every year. it's not just fourth of july it's christmas, thanksgiving all major american holidays. there's a lot of -- >> fatigue? >> fatigue and wear and tear and a sense of what if we miss this aspect or that aspect. with terrorism, it's the old line the i.r.a. used after they tried to blow up margaret thatcher. you have to be lucky all the time we only have to be lucky once. >> do you see fatigue or new props of trainees coming in and getting prepared? >> there are new trainees coming in and getting prepared. fatigue is a problem for the

public and private sector. those hosting events those that own stadiums and doing security. it's really really important that during this holiday weekend they are on their top game and they have the best security officials and thinking through their emergency response plans. sometimes during holidays even security professionals want to take a holiday. this is not one to miss. they want to be focused and look at every threat. if you see something, say something. dhs has that exactly right. sometimes americans looking and thinking of things prevented some of the biggest attacks we have seen. >> michael, right now it's different this weekend than years past because they are not necessarily looking for the spectacular al qaeda style attack or even the igniting of a sleeper cell. now, they are worried about one guy, one lone wolf somewhere. >> look pressure cooker bombs are a big thing, from the boston

marathon. there's another aspect here. isis and isis inspired terrorists can buy an assault rifle and shoot up a school. we had this problem doe mes domestically. it's about trying to do a small, but still traumatizing and indeed terrifying spree of mass murders, actually. if they have their drothers they will do it. >> it's unnerving, but helpful to know one american can pick up the phone and stop a terrorist attack. try to have a good weekend. >> you, too. >> let's get to john. in united kingdom, a moment of silence for those killed at a seaside hotel. the queen and prime minister joining in the tribute. max foster is live outside the

prime minister's residence, 10 downing street. good morning, max. >> reporter: the country seemed to come to a complete standstill. they marked the start of the moment of silence, led by the queen innedenburg right now, but also the prime minister schools, public buildings, the whole country came to a stop. i tell you what's happened here. it's been a week since the attack. there's a realization of the scale of this terror attack this massacre against britain even though it happened overseas. in the last 24 hours, final confirmation that 30 brits died on that beach. still, the bodies are coming home in coffins with military honors to reflect that threat against the uk not just against innocent people. it could have been any of us that's the whole sense here in the uk. this was an attack on all of us. as the coffins come through,

just on that day, there was a lady there waiting for three coffins, her brother, father and her son. just imagine. also a wife whose husband died shielding her. these are stories people are coming to terms with here in the united kingdom. also here at downing street they have to come to terms with the response not only the biggest investigation in ten years, 800 police officers but also how to respond against an ideology driven by isis and david cameron laying the groundwork for air strikes in syria. that's how serious this has got. >> max, thank you. we stand in solidarity in times of need like this with your nation. thank you so much for that. richard matt told his daughter about his prison break in a letter beforehand. how did that slip through the hands of prison officials? we are going to take a closer look at that, ahead. turns out it wasn't the machine, it was our detergent.

so we switched to tide turbo clean. now we get way cleaner clothes way faster he turbo clean. 6x the cleaning power in ½ the time

it has been one week since richard matt was shot and killed on the run after escaping an upstate new york prison. we are learning new, amazing details. the buffalo news reports matt sent a letter to his daughter before he broke out, alluding to his escape. should prison officials have known about this letter ahead of time? with us to discuss this morning, ed gavin, the former deputy

warden. thank you for being with us. let me read you a little bit about what the letter said. again, richard matt sent it to his daughter. i always promised you i would see you on the outside. i'm a man of my word. so we read that now. it certainly reads as if he's telegraphing something i'm about to see you on the outside. what are the policies in new york prisons on screening letters going to friends and family on the outside? >> generally, outgoing mail isn't screened. >> outgoing mail is not screened? >> no. unless there's a circumstance where the inmate is involved in a criminal conspiracy. 15 years ago, i was a deputy warden i developed information that an inmate was going to kill his parole officer because she violated him. i reported it to the district

attorney. we got up on the stones and mail. working with inmate informants and people on the street we were able to get a conviction for a conspiracy to commit murder. >> there's no right to privacy. the inmates mail could be screened. >> that's incoming mail. generally, the incoming mail the assigned officer opens the mail and not necessarily read it. you don't read correspondance. if there's money, put it in their commissary. but, generally, without a court order, you don't read inmates mail. wouldn't happen especially in a place like clinton with 3,000 inmates. too many. >> there's too many. >> outgoing mail is not read. >> to see an inmate was sending

a letter like that how does it make you feel? >> it shows he was planning his escape. i would like to know when what was the postmark? >> day before. >> it speaks for itself. >> clinton is going to change their policy how often they do bed checks and how often they check their tunnels. i spoke to a guy that did time. he said the changes, while they are in place and may work for a while, they won't stick. sooner or later, nerinertia is going to set in and things go baa to how they were. >> you have to make the changes and officers have to follow the policy. when they engage in undue unfamiliarity. when the officer brings in contraband they need to be fired. dating myself i'm going back to

1993, i'm working in manhattan, i come out of post see a correction officer with an inmate. the inmate is eating a quarter pounder with cheese french fries and a coke. i suspended him on the spot. he was transferred to another unit. looking back on that now, i think he should have been fired. bringing in a sandwich today is a gun tomorrow. zero tolerance. it's time to look at this seriously. around the nation locally, state and let's make changes. fire these people. >> they say, look this is a way we get snitches and develop relationships on the inside. we are hearing from corrections officers saying look we are looking over our shoulders right now. we can't do the jobs we need to do because we are too nervous about being watched. >> let me be clear. they should not bring in items not provided by the facility for the inmates, period. >> no matter what it is?

>> no matter what. >> thanks for being here. >> pleasure is all mine. the hunger games or the republican race for the white house. president obama does not see a big difference. was he dissing democracy? john king explains "inside politics."

security ramping up this fourth of july weekend. the department of homeland security and the fbi alerting authorities across the country to be extra individual lent. a senior member of the homeland security said this is the highest level of concern since 9/11. but, officials say they are not aware of specific threats. richard matt wrote a letter to his daughter saying he would see her on the outside. the buffalo news says matt sent that letter from prison and she received it three days after the pair broke out. there's no indication she knew about theess cape in advance. the border patrol officer fired after matt pointed a gun at him.

humana is the second largest medicare insurance. likely not the last deal. anthem and cigna are reporting a merger as well. vice president joe biden headed to the women's cup. he will join the presidential delegation to vancouver led by his wife dr. jill biden. team usa will take on japan after beating germany, 2-0 in the semifinals. this is a win/win. >> or a lose/lose because i don't get to go. >> they lost in 2011. >> i remember that. they lost. >> it's a big, important game. why did you get all aggressive? >> let me turn to john king. he will defend me. what is up with your guy?

>> usa! usa! >> right in right? >> you are supposed to help me out. >> i'm with you on most things. >> i hear ya. >> covering the vice president is the best thing in the world. your travel the world and get to see things. happy early fourth to all of you in new york. let's go "inside politics." a victory lap by president obama. he went to wisconsin yesterday. it happens to be the state where scott walker is about to announce his presidential campaign. let's start with this picture. on the tarmac the president of the united states arrives and the republican governor can we get this up to show the viewers? comes out to greet him. he said be tough on him for that. he shouldn't be doing that because of the stage of the campaign. i think that's nuts. scott walker wrote a letter saying i disagree with your

economic policies it's hard for small businesses. he doesn't like the president's policies and speeches but what's wrong with basic respect, the president of the united states male or female. they come to your state, i think it's great the governor goes out there. >> there's nothing wrong, at all, with shaking hands with the sitting president or any president of the united states. it's a classy move. however, i think the conservative uproar about walker is telling. there's concern on how he's flip-flopped on positions. they think he's a real conservative but they worry on immigration and other fronts whether he is one of them. >> he was their guy, but now they are worried so they are poking him? >> pick your battle here. the battle is not about him greeting the president. by the way, i'm from the midwest. scott walker is from the midwest. this is what you do you are polite. you greet your guests.

if you are going to pick an issue, pick it over gay marriage abortion or immigration, don't pick it because the sitting president came to your state. >> amen. a little more respect in politics is a good thing. let's get to the president's message. he said hey, look the economy is recovering. a good unemployment rate came out. the president was having a good time talking policies and making note of the campaign to succeed him. >> you have healthy candidates in the democratic party. i have lost count of the republicans. you have enough for an actual hunger games. that is a -- that is a interesting bunch. >> having a little fun there. >> an interesting bunch. yeah, that sounds about right to me. i think you could tell president obama here is having fun. he's at a good moment in his

presidency. it's helpful for hillary clinton to have the president trolling. he went on to criticize what's going on in wisconsin, criticize scott walker's record. that's helpful to hillary clinton. she doesn't have to take on a republican one-on-one. >> it's a great point. the president is back above 50%. is it a huge help? who knows. it doesn't hurt the democrats to have a president above 50. >> the president's hunger game analogy. who is catnis for the republican field? someone who can come from the back of the pack. that's going to happen. 14 official candidates. you don't need to be a front-runner in the summer. rubio, walker, everyone, fiorina, carson they are hovering at 10%. they could all rise. >> it's more dangerous to be the front-runner now. >> that is right. you mentioned to benefit hillary clinton, the president said

there's a lively debate on the democratic side. sanders moved numbers up in new hampshire and iowa. jim webb is the former democratic senator from virginia. he was the navy secretary for ronald reagan. this was an odd announcement. he did it online not a big event. he didn't tell us. here is part of the announcement. i understand the odds where a fair debate is so often drown out by huge sups of money. i know one candidate tends to raise a billion dollars, that would be hillary clinton. let's give them a cause to fight for. clean out the manure characterized by greed. anybody can win in today's volatile politics. help me with this one. >> i would love to but i knltcan't. he put the statement out without warning to the press then spending the weekend on

vacation. it's not like he put it out and is like yeah, let's hit the trail. i don't know what he's expecting to happen. he hasn't built much of an operation around it. >> webb is anti-war. he came to the senate in 2006 because he opposed the war. an uncomfortable reminder to clinton supporters. if he gets traction he could become the voice whose military veteran and a threat of sorts. >> does he get out there and do the work? that's one of the big questions. a question by the supreme court is how would the sitting governors, republicans running for president handle it? john casic lost he said hey, the court ruled, you have to do it. bobby jindal in louisiana said i want to see if we have options. he lost the last option. in new orleans, it is controlled

by the governing office. now that final court decision is done. jindal has no choice but to comply. is this a big deal? >> he's a crusader on the social issue. trying to get momentum moving to the hard right. jindal will continue to make the fight. someone who is a very smart man, knows the law, knows the fight is over in the courts. >> the fight was over when the supreme court made their decision. the idea there was going to be a way to get around it in louisiana was a pipe dream. when you talk to younger republicans, people beyond the side of republicans, they don't want to see bob jiby jindal crew saiding. accept it and move forward. >> rick perry was a bit of a disaster. people are wondering can he put

it together the second time? he challenges african-americans saying a big slice of your community is living in poverty and does not have the opportunity others have had. maybe don't be so loyal to the democrats. then he said this about republicans. >> too often, we republicans, me included have emphasized our message on the tenth amendment, but not our message on the 14th. for too long we republicans have been content to lose the black vote. but, we found we didn't need it to win. when we gave up trying to win the support of african-americans we lost our moral legitimacy as the party of lincoln. >> interesting. >> i think this is a very smart move by rick perry. i don't know if he can win over black voters by doing this but i think when you look at his

campaign they know they need to work it. if he had gone out and given a regular economic policy address, we wouldn't be talking about it. the idea he's giving an interesting speech trying to broaden it for the republicans is a good move. when you talk to policy advisers the reason they joined his campaign which is going to be tough, is because he's willing to take interesting ideas, especially on economic policy and put it in place. >> a lot of democrats saying don't believe him. he's dead right, republicans do need to improve their standing in this community. when a candidate tries, even if you want to go back and say where were you a year or two ago, if it's a legitimate effort give them a chance. >> it sounded legitimate. that was a profound message and he sounded sincere. i'm sure you will analyze all of that this weekend. watch john king break down all the best political news of the week every sunday 8:30 a.m. eastern. see you then john.

i started yelling, shark shark and punching the shark. >> ten shark attacks in two months along the coast of the carolinas. it's causeing concern for the holiday weekend. should beach goers be taking extra precaution? george is director of the florida program, the guy to talk about all of this. first of all, what is up with all these attacks? are the attacks on the rise george are is this nature taking its natural course? >> well michaela it's a bit of both. certainly mother nature is the bottom line on all of this and we need to remember that. but in north carolina we have a larger number in a smaller period of time than we have ever had in that area.

it's definitely an area of concern there. the big picture, we are not under siege. >> what is happening along the coast of the carolinas? >> it's a perfect storm of variables that i think are contributing. we know of some of them and others we don't know, we will call them the x-factors. some we know higher water temperatures plenty of baitfish close to shore, sea turtle nesting season which means the big turtles are going in and out of the water and the big sharks are looking for them. we've got summer and school is out, so lots of people entering the water. we have lots of people lots of sharks lots of food. that's a formula for shark attacks. on the other hand it doesn't explain seven attacks in three weeks in north carolina. there's an x-factor in there, something else going on as well that we are not sure of.

>> what is your gut telling you on the x-factor? >> it could be current changes, it could be upwellings ocean graphic events. as we have more time to study it after the fact hopefully, we'll identify that. >> do you think this is our new reality, george or just for the short term? >> it's our new reality for the short term. in a small way, it's a new reality. the fact of the matter is each year we put more people in the water. that means more shark attacks in the future. it's a matter of odds. of course shark populations which are low right now as a result of over fishing are going to be rising as a result of management efforts. that's going to go up as well. >> education awareness is going to be key this weekend. what can we tell people? you have tips we can pull up on the screen. >> we can stick together in groups. >> okay. >> that's a good strategy.

we can avoid areas where times and areas where sharks are going to be abundant. don't be in the water between dusk and dawn when shark bites occur more often. >> is that when they are feeding? >> that's when they are feeding. it's preferred feeding time and common sense stuff. stick away from fishing piers. people fishing on the beaches, where fish are diving. if there are fish around there are likely sharks. >> leave your bling on the beach. why? >> yeah leave the bling on the beach. rings, necklaces, bracelets, all that reflect light and looks like the light reflecting off scales of fish their primary food items. >> you do not want to be mistaken for a smaller fish. here is a question i'm keeriouscurious ability. what is the statistics 1 in 11

million or something like that? >> it's immensely minute. >> let's say, george if i encounter or someone this weekend happens to be in waist-deep water and a shark comes along, what is the best course of action? should you fight back? ha is the best thing to do? >> obviously, the first thing to do is get out of the water, if you can. >> the best you can. >> if you can't because a shark is approaching you, be aggressive. they respect power. if you can pop them on the nose give them a smack to the nose they oftentimes will veer away. use that time of course to get out of the water. finally, if you are in the mouth of a shark, unfortunately, you are in there, claw at their eyes or gills, they are sensitive areas on a shark. maybe they will get the message. >> i would hope they would. the best thing to do is take the tips you have said. avoid swimming in waist-deep

water, dawn or dusk. george that was real advice you gave us there. we appreciate it. have a great long weekend. folks at home please tweet us. i'm sure you are getting in on the conversation. don't mind john berman over here. you are prepared now. >> less chumming before swimming. claw out their eyes. >> i never thought once you are in the mouth of a shark, what to do. >> panic. >> no claw at their eyes don't panic. >> the last ship setting sail for a second season. the fate of the human race lies with the crew of the "uss nathan james." can they save the world? the show's star is here next on "new day."

how you feeling? >> lost a lot of blood sir. >> i'm fine. what's the play. >> get what's our play, sir? >> a lot of boats in the harbor. >> no. she's taking the pier by now. right now dr. scott's our primary mission. >> that was an early look at the second season of the last ship. it follows the u.s.s. nathan james taking the fate of humanity in their hands. i was the lucky girl who got to sit down with eric dane who stars as the ship's commander. tnt is owned by our parent

company turner broadcasting. people are really resonating with it. do you think it's because it's sort of got this torn from the headlines vibe to it? some of the headlines like the ebola crisis -- >> we are so ahead of the curve too. i think any viewer would probably think the story lines they're seeing were torn from the headlines and written postfactum. but we shot the pandemic a year before the ebola crisis came out. >> did it give you the shivers a little bit? >> 30 years ago this would have been science fiction. now it's somewhat probably, which is scary. had the obviously outbreak happened in a largely populated city or even gotten onto an airline, it could decimate 80%

of the world's population. >> youwhat do we expect the next season? >> a lot of the same. >> more hostility? >> we're created a cure a vaccine. we have to set up communications and reestablish civilization. people have sort of run amok. makes you want to go out and inoculate people. so we need to establish order and there's been somewhat of a makeshift government set up run by alfre woodard. >> tremendous actress. >> very good actress. and nathan james makes port in baltimore, which is the last place you want to die in baltimore. so from there we need to cure

the sick. >> it's going to be a great season. >> bigger higher faster stronger. >> what drew you to this? this is a departure from where we last saw you as mcsteamy. this is a different turn for you and a chance to go in a very different way. what appealed most about this character for you? >> i think a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was a lot different than what i was doing. and the people involved were very appealing to me. the creators of the show are tremendous writers. and michael bay, you know is michael bay. >> enough said, right? >> i love this character. i'm having a blast with this role. it's the best job i've ever had. >> did you do a lot of research into the world of the military? did you shadow naval officers? because we know that part of it is shot -- >> yeah. we go into san diego and we're on the base.

>> you must love that right? >> it's amazing. there's lotsbuttons to push. they've taken us out to sea and put the ship through its paces and thenshown us what it could be. it's pretty spectacular. you feel incredibly safe on a naval destroyer. once you put on the uniform and you're immersed in that culture you're there. >> it airs sundays at 9:00 p.m. eastern. threats from isis, security has been stepped up coast to coast. is there reason to worry this weekend or are authorities going overboard? vo: today's the day. more and more people with type 2 diabetes are learning about long-acting levemir®. as my diabetes changed it got harder to control my blood sugar.
