report" online. up next, "the first 100 days," hosted by our great friend and colleague, martha maccallum, starts right now. ♪ >> i'm shepard smith, martha maccallum schedule town hall meeting will not be seen tonight because of breaking news. it is 7:00 on the east coast, 11:00 p.m. in london, where now police say international terrorism inspired the man behind tonight's deadly rampage that killed a police officer and others, caused catastrophic injury, and locked down the british parliament for hours. who was this attacker? was he working alone? live tim fox coverage coming. president president trump says s them and vindicated even though there was still no evidence of wiretapping. still, saying that the feds may have incidentally collected surveillance on the the trump transition team including

possibly the president himself. but the top democrat on the committee says he hasn't seen any evidence and he says the republican chairman, who was on the trump transition team, needs to decide whether he is an investigator or a surrogate of the white house. and one day before the house is set to vote on the republican health care bill, conservatives say they have not enough votes to get it passed. tonight, the last stitch meeting to try to cut a deal. let's get to it. >> announcer: now, "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news desk. >> shepard: three major stories on fox news tonight. first, the latest out of london, they now say at least five people have died including the attacker and 40 others have been hurt. after a man mow down pedestrians and stabbed a police officer before cops shot and killed him. investors stated they believe he was the only attacker and that international terrorism inspired

him. [gunshots] shots fired. big ben in the background. first reported about 2:30 p.m., parliament locked down for hours, lawmakers, staff, and visitors all inside. i want to show you how this all went down. as the london police and investigators put it, the man was in seb, coming over this westminster bridge. if you've been to london, you've been there, most likely. it has the best view of the houses of parliament. he drove across this bridge. the car crashed here, and along the way, ran over, as the locals put it up mode over a person after person. a couple even fell into the river thames create the suspect got out of the car wielding a large kitchen knife with a black

handle. with that knife, he went to this courtyard and stabbed a police officer ultimo times. that police officer has now died. and it is right here on the other side of the courtyard where the suspect was finally shot and killed paid one witness told our sister network, sky news in the united kingdom, he was walking across that bridge at the time when you noticed all of the victims. >> saw it in the road, and i thought somebody must have been hit by a car. then i saw a body on the other side of the road. then there was another body, told us to get off the bridge. another body lying in the water. >> any indication as to what had caused them to be injured? had he seen a car come through? >> i didn't see anything at first. first thing i was aware of people starting to scream. then then everybody -- there was a lot of confusion. at that point, i tried to stop people coming onto the bridge.

>> shepard: from sky news in london, reporting that is the attacker right there on the stretcher. if you look closely at the cone down there, you'll be able to also see a knife. again, the suspect is now dead. sky news also reports police state they know who he was but they have not yet revealed his name. as it nears midnight in london are just past midnight, i should say, there is no more locked down. parliament reports that it will be sitting to mount back in session, and the british prime minister theresa may says the government is not raising the terror threat level, but they are stepping up security for the next few days. benjamin hall live just across from parliament in london, benjamin, what is the scene tonight? >> well, shep, as you are saying, the most iconic site you can see in london, and this is where taylor hit today, very much uneducated helicopters overhead at the moment. police boats going up and down the thames, and a number of streets still shut around

parliament itself. however, the parliament, as he say, is being defiant. we heard today from theresa may, the prime minister. >> that is why it is a target for those who reject those values. but let me make it clear today, as i have had cause to do before, any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. >> and that sentiment has been felt reiterated around europe and around the world, not least in brussels where this was the very day, one year ago, that 322 people were killed in a isis-connected attack. >> shepard: they poured over that vehicle all afternoon. anything more to report on this? >> local, we have seen the images that you have, and it was used as a weapon, no doubt. this great great suv

-- gray suv. they have asked their followers to go out and use whatever tools they can, we have seen it happen in a nice, we've seen it happen in munich and in berlin, and now here twice. that is another clue that they are looking at. they'll be tracing that car back. it shep? >> shepard: one more thing. you spoke to people inside parliament during all this? as the gunfire was going off? what they say. >> that's right. i had a couple of friends in parliament, and they say the immediate response was swift. some of them were told in the rooms around the courtyard itself, had to crawl to get down on the ground. up to 5,000 people who work in their everyday, mps, somewhat of chaos, tends not to get themd backwards and forwards paid a very poignant moment, a cabinet minister who was pictured kneeling over the policeman who

subsequently died, that ministers brother died himself in a terror attack. very sad. >> shepard: benjamin hall along the river. fixed number number two, top democrat on the house intelligence committee now says there is grave doubt about the fairness of the panels russia investigation. any questions whether the committee's chairman is acting as a surrogate on behalf of the white house. the chairman cannot republican congressman devin nunes, said he saw a surveillance report. rather than tracking the info and taking it to this committee, he took it to the white house. on the report, intelligence collection that he says may have involved members of the transition team. >> i recently confirmed that on numerous occasions the intelligence community collected information about u.s. citizens involved in the transition. details about u.s. persons associated with the incoming administration, details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value. >> shepard: chairman nunes is

the intelligence monitoring appears to be legal, although he said some of it does seem to him inappropriate. now, the top democrat on that same committee, adam schiff, reports even he has not seen whatever nunes, and says it is not right that chairman nunes went to reporters on the president but not to his own committee. >> the chairman will need to decide whether he is the chairman of an independent investigation into conduct which includes allegations of potential coordination between the trim campaign and the russians or he is going to act as a surrogate of the white house, because he cannot do both. >> shepard: chairman nunes said he had a duty to tell the president. our chief white house correspondent john roberts was there as all this was unfolding. john? speak with this, of course, is a matter of some controversy because this all started the saturday after the president's address to a joint session of congress when he tweeted out after having an angry couple of days of being knocked out of the headlines by the jeff sessions russians news, that the president to the former

president, tapping trump tower paid not being able to prove that until today when the chairman of the intelligence committee on the house i'd came forward that he had information that members of the trump transition team were caught up in what is called incidental collection. that can be anything from there on the other end of the telephone when a foreign official is being surveilled to trickle foreign officials being surveilled simply mention a person like that. what chairman nunes found very concerning, that is what he detailed us today, the fact that some of these people who were caught up in incidental collection work, "unmasked," their identity revealed in intelligence communities. i asked him more about that today. >> we knew that there was some incidental collection, because lieutenant general michael flynn was caught up talking with sergei kislyak.

>> this goes beyond what happened to general flynn. of course, we don't actually know yet officially what happened to general flynn. we just know that his name leaked out, but we don't know how it was picked up yet. >> was the president correct in what he tweeted? >> it is possible. >> shepard: what adds to the intrigue and all of this, shep,y that he did not learn about any of this in real information from any of the intelligence agencies, that it was an individual or individuals who came to him or his representatives and private to share what they knew. which, of course, has raised the specter of, well, was all this directed to throw a bone to the president or is this actually part of the investigation? we don't know this time. >> shepard: the president commented on that, though briefly. >> as they said, the white house has been trying to find a way to get out of the hole that the president dug with the wiretapping, the political hole. the president with members of

the congressional congress today was asked if he felt vindicated by this latest information. here is what he said. >> do you feel vindicated? >> i somewhat do. i must tell you, i somewhat do. i much appreciate the fact that they found what they found. but i somewhat do create >> you will probably remember, shep, that when he was asked about it in interviews on the tucker carlson show, the president said that there was going to be more information to back up his claims of wiretapping that would come out this week, and now, apparently, we know that that was -- we don't know that that's what he was talking about, but something has come out. >> shepard: the chairman and ranking member nunes and congressman schiff seems to be presenting a united front, but tonight, congressman schiff is clearly peeved. >> definitely a break between them now. after chairman nunes held a mini press conference about it, he apparently from the stake of the

house about it, talked to the csa, talks to the nsa, and then felt compelled to get in a car and run down here to the white house to brief the president about it but did not briefly ranking member on the intelligence committee, adam schiff, nor did he reap any other members of the intelligence committee which, as you said, really had the ranking membership really ticked off today. here is what he said. >> if you have a chairman who is interacting with the white house and sharing information with the white house when people around the white house are the subject of the investigation, and doing so before sharing it with the committee, throws a profound doubt over whether that can be done credibly. >> adam schiff, democratic congressman, now casting doubt on whether the intelligence committee has the credibility to fairly carry out an investigation into russia's potential interference in the election, but it was doing in the hacking, and whether or not there were any connections to the white house. democrats again now calling for an independent commission to be

struck to investigate all of that. everything has a result and any fact. >> shepard: clearly, it does. john roberts, remaining at the white house. we'll have much more on the house intelligence committee chairman's announcement of a possible incidental surveillance of members of team trump. plus, the third big story still developing right now, the brand-new health care bill set to be in big trouble. the vote is tomorrow. some republicans stand against it. and at this moment, they don't have the votes to pass it. that said, we are learning about a last ditch effort to try to court conservative lawmakers. the question is, if it goes past, but happens to health care coverage, and what happens to the president's agenda? that and continuing coverage of the attack in london from the fox news desk, america's choice for information on cable.

not getting in today. not on my watch. pests never stop trying to get in. we never stop working to keep them out. terminix. defenders of home. >> shepard: more now on the announcement from the intelligence committee chairman that the feds may have inadvertently or incidentally picked up information for members of the trump transition team. released a statement blasting chairman nunes, briefed the president on that matter today. the dnc rates, and part, blue what little credibility he had left with this pathetic charade. this isn't an investigation, it is a protection racket for donald trump and his fragile

ego, all nunes has achieved is to prove that we need a real independent investigation. said it was the duty to inform the president and he said he doesn't see any conflict at all because the intelligence monitoring had nothing to do with the investigation. let's turn to kimberly atkins now, good to see you. >> good to see you, shep. >> shepard: your take on this? >> i think this puts a new set of fireworks into this investigation. as you said, the chairman and ranking member had been largely on the same page coming out of the hearing on monday with the top intelligence and fbi officials. but this certainly creates a new schism between the turncoat with the ranking democrats democrat, congressman schiff, calling into question whether chairman nunes conduct this investigation

fairly given the fact that he went to the white house before going to other members of the committee itself. >> shepard: was chairman nunes yesterday, during this hearing, this lengthy healing my curing, chairman nunes who said to fbi director comey, you just cast a dark cloud over this and you need to get your work done as expeditiously as possible. it was our understanding that this dark cloud line did not go over well. today, a whole new thing. >> it is. if you remember, president trump had hinted that some information might be coming forward in the weeks ahead on this. of course, this information, according to chairman nunes, came from somebody who came forward and volunteered this information. we don't know if there is any connection there or if the white house had a heads up. but the fact that chairman nunes, as reported, is a former donald trump camping circuit sort of creates this idea, at least appearance, of some sort

of link or appearance that he was giving the white house cover. that's what democrats are seizing on right now. it is tough to see how they committee can go forth with a unified front that it had a few days ago as this investigation moves forward. >> shepard: it sounds as if democrats are beginning to call for an independent investigation. but with that entail? >> they could be number of ways that could happen. a special prosecutor, special investigation to look into that. you could have a bipartisan special committee, something that even republicans on the senate side have been calling for. it could take a number of forms. there has been a lot of pushback to that. i think the chances of that were pretty slim. it will be interesting to see i democrats can garner enough support now to push for that approach. >> shepard: is it your sense that this move by congressman nunes, by chairman nunes today has given the president some degree of, they are, i told you so, but at the same time might

change the nature of the investigation in a way he might not particularly enjoy? >> i think both things are true. we saw the president say that he felt somewhat vindicated by this. when of the president does not like to back off a claim or apologize or show any contritio contrition. i doubt that that will be coming now that you have this information coming forward. at the same time, this information was picked up legally. it was done by a valid place, which could indicate that there was some sort of investigation underway or to the trump transition team to pick up some conversations from that. it could be a double-edged sword. >> shepard: kimberly atkins, good to see you tonight, thank you. >> good to see you. >> shepard: we'll see what happens bit that from president trump today when he was asked if you would be pushing the g.o.p. health care bill if it doesn't pass in the house tomorrow. coming up, republican leaders trying to save the health care

bill. the vote is tomorrow. can they make it happen? and if they don't, what about the legislative agenda and your health care? that's next. 24-hour, non-drowsy claritin. it provides relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 different allergens. live claritin clear. with 9 lobster dishes.est is back try succulent new lobster mix & match or see how sweet a lobster lover's dream can be. there's something for everyone and everyone's invited. so come in soon.

>> shepard: the scramble to save the health care bill. making a last-ditch effort right now tonight, trying to pick up enough votes to pass the health care bill tomorrow. at last word, president trump and house speaker paul ryan did not have the counts because 25 or so members of the conservative house freedom count pneumococcus say they will not support the bill. republicans can afford to lose just 22 votes of all democrats vote no. the freedom caucus chairman, congressman mark meadows, says he has seen some real headway on the plan tonight. he says the white house is considering a possible moment

that would sway some of those freedom caucus members. late-breaking tonight on capitol hill, and peter doocy is honored for us. what is happening? >> shep, you just mentioned that amendment. the freedom caucus is here right now meeting with g.o.p. leadership about a adding something to the measure that with that them repeal more of obamacare and make some changes, retooled the essential health benefits that are required. for years, there have been conservative questions about why something like breastfeeding coverage or maternity coverage needs to be an essential health benefit for all americans that have insurance, even those who will not be breastfeeding or who would need maternity coverage rate the white house thinks they can iron out the details of this amendment. tonight, they will have the vote. but the freedom caucus, if they are not happy at the end of tonight, they are prepared to vote no and start from scratch. >> we are working very hard with the administration and trying to figure out how we get to yes for

tomorrow night's vote. i'm encouraged by the engagement i've seen from all aspects of leadership and members on the hill. >> well, just in the last few minutes, the democratic minority leader in the senate, senator chuck schumer, said that if they try to touch the essential health benefits, then it's not going to be able to pass in the senate because we have heard many times recently, the rules in the senate are different. it would make it, if they include this essential health benefits amendment, it would make it the kind of bill that needs 60 votes to pass instead of the 51 that the republicans are needing in the reconciliation process. and schumer says they don't have that. >> shepard: the chairman of the freedom caucus says he is very optimistic, and that is a quote, that lawmakers can find common ground. can they just pulled us, or they vote and get a "no" vote? >> it is possible they could yank it before it would be voted

on and fail, shep. earlier this morning, senator rand paul reporting that in its current form, the bill would never see the house floor, and the speaker of the house was asked about the likelihood of that, and he didn't discounted as a possibility. >> i'm not going to get into the hypotheticals. we are talking to our members and working toward the goal line here. we are adding votes by the day. were not losing votes, where adding votes. >> ryan got a boost today, one of his most conservative members said he will vote yes because he thinks the bill can do more but he doesn't want president trump's first big legislative item to go down. >> shepard: peter doocy on the hill tonight. coming up, the new developments on today's deadly attack in london" officials here in the united states are saying about possible copycats. and terror attacks in europe. that's still to come as we approach the bottom of the hour.

>> shepard: back to the fox top story, the terror attack in london this afternoon. this was the scene. police say somebody drove people onto westminster bridge, then stabbed a police officer. as i reported earlier, please say five people, including the attacker, are now dead. the attacker and an officer, 40 others hurt. this is a photo of the officer who died today, his name is keith palmer, and similar photos to show you in our slideshow this evening. here you see people on the bridge in the minutes after the attack, loud impact to pedestrians. this is a man carrying a gun at the scene there, british officers normally not armed, but certainly they are around the parliament building. some more first responders getting out of a helicopter her here, and an injured man, somebody helping a man in a wheelchair. senior officials have told fox news they expected to see an uptick in terror attacks in europe as the u.s.-led military coalition ramps up the fight for

raqqa, syria. they are treating this as a terror attack. they have not confirmed it. but they have been expecting a ramp-up in europe. >> it coincided with a high profile anti-isis coalition meeting at the state department today. 68 foreign ministers and top coalition officials hosted by secretary of state rex tillerson, joined by the iraqi prime minister clement to discuss the way ahead in the fight against isis. british foreign secretary johnson missed the photo, when news of the attack broke. a meeting earlier today described how the anti-isis fight is ramping up to get coalition forces closer to raqqa as u.n.-sponsored syrian peace talks take place in geneva. for the first time, u.s. army helicopters airlifted syrian defense forces, including kurdish fighters, to within 8 miles west of raqqa. as u.s. forces began to encircle

the isis capital. they were firing that high-powered artillery. it is not unusual, shep, to see a spike in these kind of terror attacks to correspond with high-profile the poetic talks like the one that took place in washington. among the anti-"the no spin zone" alliance, rex tillerson dining at the white house tonight >> shepard: any claims of responsibility yet? >> not as of yet. holding that very close, if, in fact, they know the identity, they are not sharing it at this time, the identity of the attacker that is paid last fall, a isis spokesman called for an attack using knives. published in november. the "the no spin zone" spokesperson also told supporters not to carry to syria but to carry out attacks in their home country. say they cannot say for certain right now which terror group, if

any, whether it was a isis attack or an al qaeda attack or a self radicalized own will. we'll certainly know more in the coming hours, shep. spohn let's turn to the former see a military analyst. a spokesperson and senior policy advisor for the counter extremism project. what does that select you? >> it looks like we had one individual who may have been radicalized, either through isis-inspired material online, propaganda, or may have been in touch with isis affiliates. it doesn't seem like we had an orchestrated sale here, it doesn't seem highly coordinated, but it is to soon to say. it shows you that one individual with a knife and a car, grew very crude tactics, can inflict damage and a tragic loss of life. >> shepard: and how in the wealthy try to stop something like this? >> it is very difficult to start, particularly it was a lone wolf attack. by its very definition, a lone wolf would not be in

communication with others to coordinate, plan, carry out logistics, these cases, if it is one person, very difficult. i can commend too soon to say if it is isis, al qaeda, an individual, a remote-controlled attack, could've had some contact but isn't part of the organization, has never been to syria or iraq. we don't know yet. i might add, as jennifer was saying, a couple of factors. the so much going on, the anniversary of the brussels attack, you just had the travel ban on british plates as well as u.s. flights coming into great britain and the united states. so there are a number of things i could have sparked it or inspired it. >> shepard: authorities say they know who this man is but they haven't made it public yet. that said, it is isis who told people, go out, if you don't because, get a car, if you don't have a car, get a knife.

this was a knife and a car. this doesn't make it terrorism, but it's exactly what the islamic state has been asking for. many in the united states, many are worried about the possibility of copycats. >> you are precisely right. one of their main propaganda magazines has been calling for knife attacks, vehicle attacks, these sort of low sophistication attacks that don't require weapons training, and that is because they want individuals to carry out attacks in their name. whether or not they are affiliated with the group or no not. usually they like to claim their attacks and take ownership for things they have planned, but isis happy to have anyone carrying out their business. it doesn't matter, if a lone wolf was inspired or directed by isis or in communication or not, the her thick, tragic implications for the u.k. in this case, potentially here, are the.

>> shepard: by august of last year, twitter had shut down some 350,000 terrorism-related twitter accounts yet they still have these online propaganda magazines that they want to call them, bulletin boards for would-be terrorists. why can't that sort of thing be shut down? >> it can be shut down. it's one of the things my organization as working on. not to promote my own work. it's the one that is worth promoting. >> there is more that can be done. pressuring companies with technology that can prevent the upload of some of this horrific content and not allow it on these platforms. they have terms of service, and a lot of this is terrorist content, beheading videos, death threat imagery, it is not a freedom of speech issue, and there is technology available. they use it already forgetting child pornography of their platforms. we have been trying to get them to adopt it. developed out of dartmouth college. we have been pushing to try to

get some technological solutions on the counterterrorism print, because the ideology can spread online. they don't need to be in physical, close proximity. these individuals don't need to go to raqqa or mosul. >> shepard: on this exact same day a year ago, suicide bombers attacked belgium. the islamic state claimed responsibility. hundreds of people gathered in that city today for a moment of silence, holding up their hands and he the shape of a heart, only to find out hours later, someone had attacked in london. trace gallagher is on this tonight. a year later, brussels remains on high alert. >> the second highest level, meaning another attack is considered likely. while today the airport looks brand-new, it is still filled with armed guards. it was 8:00 a.m. local time last march when the first shots rang out inside the international

terminal. seconds after the gunfire, the first explosion happened at one of the check-in counters. passengers who were still physically able began running toward the exits, but we now know the plan was to have them run toward the second bomb, which exploded moments later near a starbucks coffee shop at the airport entrance. an unexploded suicide vest was later found in the same area. the shooting, then bombings at the airport, killed 19, including three attackers were captured on surveillance tapes. more than 300 people were wounded, and there were deep cuts and broken bones indicating the bombs were packed to cause maximum damage. >> shepard: the airport attack also acted as a sort of diversion. >> it did, because you had hundreds of medics, ambulances, and place rushing to the airport, just 7 miles away near the european union headquarters, another explosion tore through a brussels metro train filled with rush-hour commuters. still one more bomb exploded in the last car of a three car

subway that pulled away from the station at exactly 9:11 a.m. the two deadliest attacks of terrorism in belgian history. the terror cell had also been involved in the attacks in paris in november of 2015. today, a monument, called wounded but still standing in the face of the unthinkable, was unveiled in brussels and dedicated to the victims of recent attacks in belgium, france, turkey, and tunisia. belgium's queen mathilde and king philippe were on hand. spoil just one day before that critical vote, president trump is meeting with lawmakers to pick up some last minute yes votes. we have a life report from just a few minutes ago on details of changes that are happening tonight, some context from a journalist with "the wall street journal."

>> shepard: drama builds in washington tonight. president donald trump and house speaker paul ryan are said to be furiously trying to lobby fellow republicans to win over enough votes to pass the health care bill tomorrow. it is scheduled for the afternoon, and right now, they do not have the votes to passage. at least that in 30 minutes ago. president trump met with lawmakers to try to win over more votes. john roberts are putting that how sources are telling him they are "close to a deal" and the head of the freedom caucus that he is not optimistic that that group, that has been opposed to that bill all along, saying it was obamacare lite, and if they lose, it could cause damage to the president's agendas. national politics editor for "the wall street journal." what are you hearing tonight? are they going to be able to

wrangle these votes? is it looking optimistic for the president? >> it was a day of a lot of negotiations. president trump himself met with lawmakers, but it looks like tonight they really did come up with something that has the potential to thread the needle and bring the conservatives onboard and make this really work. this last development tonight looks like it really could be successful. >> shepard: how did they do it. explain to our viewers what is change is. >> the term here is essential health benefits. really what this is about is, remember, the government gives people money through its subsidies, both in obamacare and through tax credits in this republican bill, to buy insurance. this is the other side of the equation. this is, what kind of insurance can you buy? under obamacare, insurers were required to include certain things in their coverage. pediatric care, maternity care, emergency room care, some mental health services, some

preventative services. you had to have these. they said, that's what makes insurance worth having. republicans say, that is what makes insurance expensive. if you let insurers not sell every element of this menu and compete it more and unleash the power of the market, you'd have lower prices. so what this is doing is putting in the built the ability to strip out the requirement that you sell all of these kinds of insurance in every plan and the insurers sell what someone calls skimpy or less comprehensive plans. >> shepard: a little something for everyone. there is a problem, potentially when they get to the senate. chuck schumer and others say, this is a policy change, it would require 60 votes. >> that's right. what's interesting is, even earlier today, it seemed that paul ryan listings require 60 votes. what's going on here is, republicans want to pass this legislation without having to draw any democratic votes. they want this to be all reliant

on republicans. when you get to the senate, there are 52 republicans, you usually need 60 to pass a bill. so this bill is moving under a privileged procedure that will allow it to pass with only 50 votes, assuming the president makes it high. instead of the 60. what is at issue here is, adding this provision going to jeopardize under status rolls the status that would allow this bill to pass with a simple majority rather than the usual 60 votes? are there today, republican leaders were saying, you know, this provision would put that bill in jeopardy and might not let it pass the senate. they might have changed their mind. >> shepard: they don't have all of the republican votes they need in the senate, there are a couple of holdouts? >> we are probably going to see this bill change substantially. it has its own lock to pick, needle to thread. you have conservatives like mike lee and ted cruz who are kind of

hell, no on this, and there are others that think this needs to be much generous. >> shepard: it is complicated, as we have been reminded. that vote is scheduled for tomorrow, right here in the fox news channel, will have coverage throughout the day. health care, can it get through the house of representatives? we should know. jericho students from maryland accused of raping a 14-year-old girl. a live report from rockville, r, maryland, on a case the governor is calling britta. plus, the last update on the deadly attack in london. we have new information coming out of our newsroom. we'll have that as fox reports live tonight. sometimes, the only difference between a moment that fades from memory, and a moment that stays

>> shepard: the fed say it 1 of 2 teenagers accused of raping a student in maryland came to this country illegally. henry sanchez had a run-in with immigration agents last summer. this has risen to the white house. press secretary sean spicer tragedies like this explain the tough stance on immigration. no state legislators have approved a measure preventing authorities from asking suspects about their immigration status. live tonight in rockville. doug? >> rockville, maryland, along said that they are not sanctuary cities. they say that if an illegal alien commits a crime in any one of those jurisdictions, they are incarcerated and towards the end of their incarceration, i.c.e. is notified. but county authorities about immigration enforcement can make here is a little bit of an

interview i did. >> if someone is pulled over for a traffic violation, the montgomery county police officer does not ask someone's immigration status. they don't ask whether you paid your taxes. don't ask a lot of things. they ask about the actual offense, the criminal offense, that someone is doing. >> in other words, it's only after somebody has been arrested for a violent crime that immigration authorities at the national level are notified. but even with this rape charge, some are still moving toward sanctuary status for the entire state. the house of delegates passing what is called the maryland law enforcement and trust act. that bill would, in a broad sense, prevent local law enforcement authorities from

helping federal immigration authorities from seeking out illegals. republican governor is deeply opposed to this. >> we are doing to do everything we can to kill the spill. reverse going to try to kill it in the senate, if it passes there, i'm going to veto it immediately. >> one republican delegate says this is all a result of "trump derangement syndrome" and he says it is going to make his problems with ms-13 even worse. >> shepard: doug mckelway, thanks. a live update from london next. it's the simple things in life that mean the most. boost® simply complete™. no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, plus 10 grams of protein and 25 vitamins & minerals. it doesn't get better than this. boost® simply complete™.

>> shepard: three major stories developing tonight in fox news, and the attack at the thames and london is top of the list. police say at least five people dead, 40-hertz, after a man plowed through pedestrians, crashes car, got out, and stabbed to death a police officer. cops say they shot that suspect steps from the entrance to british parliament. police say they know the man is but have not made it public. investigators say they believe he was the only attacker and

that international terrorism inspired it. a show of solidarity across the english channel, officials and pears turned off the lights of the eiffel tower. the british prime minister, theresa may called the attack sick and depraved, but she said people in london will all move forward together. parliament is set to sit, as usual, tomorrow. and on the state in 1630, boston enacted a strict antigambling mall. the legislation called for people to make a weight with cards, dice, or tables in their homes under pain of punishment. puritan society looked down on games of chance. researchers say gambling was considered to be a waste and a sin. that, apparently, did not stop states from holding lotteries to raise funds for public projects during clout in my colonial times. the folks in boston had to put away the cards 387 years ago
