about these families, the children, were waiting for them. the >> bill: weather is so appropriate for that last night. manchester police say very clearly, this is a network. will see the president and a couple of minutes live. have a great day. >> new arrests today and fears that another terror attack may be eminent. >> leland: nice to be with you. i'm leyland and for jon scott. a british prime minister may opt the terror threat level to critical with growing concern that the bomber had accomplices who are now planning another attack. the manchester chief of police said it's clear they are investigating a network. this is new. as the british military secures high-profile sites across the united kingdom. and london, the changing of the guard at buckingham palace was
8:01 am
canceled so those officers can be redeployed. the >> jenna: england remembers the 22 victims of the attack. dozens of other people are still hospitalized. many of them with severe injuries. greg palkot is live with more. what is the latest russian mark >> hello. just in the past hour or so, we did get an update. they confirmed that there was definitely a network supporting the guy who did this damage on a monday night at a pop concert in the arena just behind us. the police have been very busy today staging a variety of raids, both in the southern part of the city and right in the center of manchester. three different people were arrested, for different people in custody believed to have some kind of contact, some kind of connection with this attack and yes, indeed, confirming he did have help. the terror threat according to
8:02 am
prime minister may come announcing it last night is being put into effect today is at its highest level that it has been in ten years. the highest level there is, critical, that means an attack is believed by the government, could be imminent, could be possible again. it also were going to be seeing a lot of troops on the street. buckingham palace will get that treatment. the prime minister's office and home as well as big events like a sporting event happening this weekend in london. we are also learning about the suspect himself. salman abedi, 22 years old, british born libyan refugee parents. he came from a conservative muslim family, but all reports point to the fact that he was radicalized, may be in the last year or two. he is said to have contacts with extremists in this region. it is said that to some degree,
8:03 am
he was on the police radar and there are reports that he was in libya just a short time before the attack. he returned and then did his deed. there are some reports that he's had direct contact with isis figures in syria. back to you. >> jenna: is certainly a lot more to the investigation as we put the picture together. what more do we know about the victims of the attack? the >> this is the hardest part of the story. we've already talked about it. we reported on a lot of terror attacks, but there was something truly truly ugly about this attack. 22 dead, 64 injured, 20 in critical condition. thus the latest figure. no one has been able to leave the hospital and many in the hospital are young. they are teenagers, their children become a part this attack. again, we've heard about the various stories, not just young kids, folks in their 20s, 30s, 40s, but also parents
8:04 am
waiting outside of the concert, waiting to pick up their kids. and at least one instance, a mother and father were killed waiting for their child. the child came out, survive, and they were not there. one more final note that we got in that press conference just an hour ago, a police officer was killed, but she wasn't on duty. she was a mother off duty with her child at this concert. terrible stuff. >> jenna: absolutely. terrible indeed. thank you very much. more as we get it. in the meantime, the president is in europe, he will be meeting this hour with the belgian prime minister. the president now halfway through his mind and trip will attend a key nato summit in brussels tomorrow and continue on to another event. earlier mr. trump met privately with pope francis at the vatican where the two men exchanged gifts. the president later tweeting out that the meeting with the pope was in honor of a lifetime.
8:05 am
we are going to talk a little bit about this trip. >> he had a very successful trip in the middle east. he started off in saudi arabia where they held a huge cooperative for him and then went on to israel where they displayed the relationship with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu and then went to the west bank to meet with a palestinian authority. he started off on a strong note and now we have to deal with issues like going to europe and talking to nato where he believes countries should be ponying up more money. were getting into the rougher part of his trip. this is a very stage friendly and stage ready journey. >> jenna: there have been many being said about his aides. one name comes up and it's dena
8:06 am
powell. who is she and why did she matter? >> it she is one of the biggest behind the scenes operators in this white house, started off with ivanka and this white house and trying to push her women's initiatives through, but quickly kind of rose up to be in the national security realm. she is egyptian, speaks fluent arabic with an alumna of the george w. bush white house and she is a former goldman sachs executive. she is someone who understands both government and the corporate world. donald trump is not very experienced with what she is familiar with. a very critical figure for the president and his senior staff as they navigate this presidency. >> jenna: that's one of the reasons i wanted you to share this with our viewers.
8:07 am
how do you think this trip is impacting his ability to lead here at home? >> he got kind of a respite from a lot of the other problems in his white house. his budget, his spending priorities are kind of stalled for the time being. health care is stalled, tax reform is in the early stages to be charitable, he has to pass another budget. back home, there is a maelstrom of things going on. he still has investigations, he still is a special counsel, but it's like he's been on an island. we haven't seen all of the tweets, the end staff fighting, the wonders of whether or not we are about to have a staff shakeup, whether sean spicer will be fired. he's insulated. next week will be a slow week for many of washington because of the memorial day reset. we'll see how he comes back to washington and faces a number of
8:08 am
things he'll have to do in the coming months. >> jenna: we are going to run. thank you so much. >> leland: as jenna just said, we are awaiting the meeting between president donald trump and the prime minister of belgium. the president arrived in brussels a short time ago where he is going to attend a key nato summit beginning tomorrow. the president on the campaign trail had some choice words about nato and has since changed his feelings about that a little bit. we're going to talk about that coming up and breaking of elements on the deadly manchester bombing with three more arrests today as greg palkot reported. authorities now fear another attack could be eminent. what intelligence might be out there pointing to that danger.
8:09 am
8:10 am
8:11 am
>> jenna: right now, police in southern california are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman outside a bar. and happened early sunday
8:12 am
morning in santa ana. surveillance video showing the man felling the woman down the street and confronting her on the stairs outside the bar. they say the suspect grabbed her and pushed her to the ground and dragged her down the stairs. she was able to fight him off and call for help. >> that will continue. we've now gone to a critical threat. that means also controlling the information. >> leland: u.k. police now making four arrests in connection with monday nights deadly concert bombing in manchester. hours ago, they are investigating what they call a network of terrorists behind this attack. the country remains on high alert with the threat level now raised to critical. military personnel have now been deployed for added security.
8:13 am
teresa may set as a follow-up attack is not only likely, but could be eminent. i'm joined now by the director at the so friend group and 21 year veteran with the fbi. this is a little bit different than what we've been dealing with for the past couple years. we've been talking about the lone wolves, the vehicle borne attacks, and people who are radicalized only on the internet and now we hear this is a network. how does that change things? >> with a network, there should be more tripwires they can follow up on. somebody had to have built the bomb, somebody had to have moved him, the investigation will help discover who those individuals are. >> leland: you want to discover who those individuals are and caress them before they're able to attack again. we saw that and other attacks.
8:14 am
they weren't able to catch all of those guys before they're able to attack again. >> that's right. that's why i think keeping information as close as possible is imperative. releasing the name could have jeopardized the investigation. you don't want to warn anybody who may have been an associate or anybody who may have been with him to give him a heads up that law enforcement is getting close. >> leland: what does this say about the ices threats? for a long time, it was al qaeda that we had to worry about, but over the past couple of years, we've seen isis with the brussels airport attack, being able to put these larger, more sophisticated attacks together. how does that change things? >> it proves that isis is associated with this attack. people are saying this was one of their soldiers, they seem to have some information and
8:15 am
correct in their statement. they indicated the bomber was inside the arena when he was outside the arena, isis has a habit of taking credit for things that they are not involved. having said that, the investigation shows whether this was isis or al qaeda. >> leland: if you think about how this attack was carried out, it requires a degree of sophistication that we haven't seen in a little while at least, recruiting a suicide bomber, building a bomb that wasn't a pressure cooker like the boston marathon attacks. there is no mistake that this guy showed up right outside the exit just as the concert was letting out. >> right. i think there was some scouting. he may have known the operations and security, but going back to al qaeda, they also have a history of organizing deliberate
8:16 am
attacks. >> leland: on some level, maybe this has two answers to it. a hypothetical and reality one and a political one. doesn't matter if it was al qaeda or isis in terms of the fact that this guy was on the british radar? they dropped the ball. >> i don't like to say they dropped the ball, because again, the brits were aware of him. in what capacity, we don't know. i read something where his name may have come up in some reports related to gang killings of a friend of his, but again, -- >> leland: that's a long way from knowing he is a g. >> a look at everything he had done prior to the attack. >> leland: you hear he may have traveled to syria, you hear he had contact with isis, that's very different. >> right. if he traveled to libya, not really that unusual.
8:17 am
having traveled to syria, yes, that's a giant red flag. if his parents had said they concerned about him, who do they report that too? the police aren't aware of it, then they can't act. >> leland: big questions right now, the point whether his neighbors knew more and were scared to say something or didn't want to be caught up in the whole thing, something the fbi dealt with a lot during san bernardino. we appreciate your insight. >> jenna: a former cia director testifies. how he thinks the president may have violated the rules of intelligence while russian visitors stood in the oval office. we'll tell you what he said. plus, the president's top budget official tries to sell lawmakers on the 2018 plan and the big spending cuts within it. senator rob portman is here to talk about all of this and more this is boris calvo. boris grows mind-blowing coffee.
8:18 am
and because we pay him a fair price, he improves his farm and invest in his community to make even better coffee. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee. i was always "tpeople don't stare anymore. i never joined in. that wasn't fair to any of us. i wa i tried lots of things over the years. but i didn't give up. i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. that still works. now? see me. see me. i found clear skin that lasts. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur.

8:20 am
8:21 am
>> leland: 20 minutes after the hour here on the east coast. the market has been open for myo hours now. attention turns to the central bank where interest rates dow is up about 20. as president trump is been overseas, things have been relatively stable this week so far as the market waits to see what happens if there are any big changes as it relates to the markets in europe or if it relates to things in congress this week. now we go to nicole who is at the floor of the new york stock exchange of moore.
8:22 am
>> right now, what's interesting about the market we are seeing overall, we had that big selloff, there were jitters about the trump agenda. every single day since then, we were up four days in a row. we gained 330 points. today, up again. up 20 points. and fact, we are at 150 points away from the all-time record high close. all the worries that come with each headline about the trump agenda waning or falling off course, it seems to give a little jitter and on the bounce rate once again. we've seen technology doing very well over the last week. many of the names hitting highs or gaining and ways. technology has done well. and financial. everybody has 4o1 kays and
8:23 am
iras such as goldman sachs, those are at about 2% this week. there really is a feeling that the trump agenda is still on course. we've been hearing that the tax cuts are still possible now for for 2017. overall, there is a still a sense of optimism. i spoke with an economist this morning who basically said, he said the economy is doing fairly well and be excited get better. we'll watch for a hike in june as well. >> leland: the dow is up 23. thank you. >> jenna: members of president trump's cabinet are trying to sell lawmakers on a budget plan. mick mulvaney is testifying before the committee today.
8:24 am
>> we are not going to kick any deserving person off of any meaningful program. we want to help people just as much as you do. republicans care about poor people just as much as democrats come of this image of a clean air and healthy drinking water. we look at it from a different perspective which is to balance those who receive the benefits with those who pay for the benefits. >> jenna: i'm joined by rob portman. i'm sure this is all too familiar. great to have on the program. what's your reaction to the defense by mick mulvaney of this program thus far? >> a budget is a series of recommendations. the one i recommended to the democratic congress was not well received, but it was the general direction of the in administration wanted to go and this is what this budget represents. there are some things in here, including tax reform that are not included. there are the things that are not part of the budget, but that
8:25 am
are incredibly important to get the economy moving. it's a combination of growing the economy and giving people more hope. i'm hopeful that this process will end with 12 different appropriations bills which congress is supposed to do and then will end up having some differences with the budget. at the end of the day, we'll be able to move forward. >> jenna: sounds like a lot of work. the associated press is describing this particular budget proposal as politically unrealistic. what do you think description? >> it has a 3% growth projection which is the main thing people focus on as being unrealistic. i hope we can get the 3%, but it's going to require these other elements that are not part of the budget, including tax reform. they're also doing some gun regulations. we did mark up a bill last week that would do that. other issues have to be dealt with like the increase of cost in health care and ways where we
8:26 am
can -- i think that's the key is to restrain spending, but get the economy moving again. a >> jenna: you a few things. it's hard to keep track because it is a lot that you are attempting to do over the next several months. that's great. he has budget proposal, tax reformulation, health care, that's a big list. where's the priority in your mind and what is the average american start to feel the effects of some these proposals? >> we focus on the individual regulations. a 56 million hours of work has been taken, so that's already starting to happen. of broader regulatory reform are in the next few months. in the meantime, health care is first come for a second, the reason is we are doing them under a budget procedure and how to finish one before you start the other. i do think by the end of this
8:27 am
year, this calendar year, i think tax reform is very possible. i think there is more consensus around tax reform done there is around health care and i think there is an opportunity for republicans to come together on an agenda that has lower taxes by getting rid of some of the complexity of the tax code and that's a time honored wisdom that that will hurt the economy. i hope we get to the numbers they have in their budget, but i know we can do better. >> jenna: we have a few different readings. we'll have to get a final number on that. let me talk to a little bit about the presidents trip overseas. he's speaking to our nato partners about making sure they are paying their fair share. we've heard that term used in many different ways. how does that add in if some of these european countries do pay more than they have in the past? how does that impact our
8:28 am
domestic budget? how did they interplay? >> is incredibly important. we do have to do more in terms of protecting our country right now. our military is not ready because we have cut too much, particularly with regard to preparedness over the last few years. the obama administration -- we cut too much and then we have to come back and that's where we are now is figuring out how to restore some of those cuts. it helps to have allies out there working with us. what it does is it projects more force. particularly our nato allies. they have similar communication systems, the same weapons systems. they're able to essentially make it easier for us to not have to put as much funding into our defense, particularly for them. as a good thing.
8:29 am
i think the trip in general has been positive. this notion of america's leadership role having been eroded over the last eight years is real and i think we are seeing through this trip and through some other measures that have been taken, a reassertion of america's global role. not as the world police, but would like the sheriff. you have a policy with you and the policy includes these countries in the middle east of the president talked about in terms of fighting isis. also in terms of our nato allies to make sure that we are pushing back in eastern europe with russia, to make sure we are together in terms of fighting terrorism. in general, it's been positive. >> jenna: i want to ask you about that. i spoke yesterday. there was a question about how safe we are if we are seeing attacks like the one in manchester and england. it is a great controversy over the travel ban, but secretary
8:30 am
gates said to me, we are going to have to figure out how to vent some of these people coming from the middle east. he didn't have a solution on how to do that. how do you feel about that? >> i think you're absolutely right. it's a three-pronged approach. one is the military part we talked about and it is important to go after isis and what's happening now in syria and also in iraq. the second, we have to do more in terms of assuring the people who come to this country that they are not here to do us harm. there are a lot of foreign fires that have gone into the fight, more from europe then to the united states. european countries have a visa waiver program. it's easy to come into our country because they are allies. we have three more concerned now. about 5,000 of these foreign fighters can go back to european countries. we do need to tighten up on the visa programs and ensure that we are doing everything we can to protect the country. finally, homegrown terrorism.
8:31 am
let's face it, that is the toughest of all. it's a law enforcement, as the fbi, and local law enforcement. that's what's been successful in finding some of these threats. in my home state of ohio, we had a fighter who was arrested on terrorist charges because muslim community worked with police to identify the threat. this is a dangerous world. >> jenna: that definitely hits home. i had to take a quick commercial break, but i want to bring you back on the other side if you have the time. even though we're talking a great deal about terrorism, that's very important, i also want to point out that more americans have died from opioid addiction and overdoses than terrorism in recent years. those statistics released it out to me. there is an event in ohio, i want to talk to about that.
8:32 am
quick commercial and will be right back in just a moment ready or not, here i come.ek.) ♪ anyone can dream. making it a reality is the hard part. northrop grumman command and control systems always let you see the complete picture.
8:33 am
and we're looking for a few dreamers to join us.

ltry align probiotic.n your digestive system? for a non-stop, sweet treat goodness, hold on to your tiara kind of day. get 24/7 digestive support, with align. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand. also in kids chewables. >> jenna: welcome back. we've covered quite a few issues with senator portman today. talking about the budget, terrorism, but we mentioned this before he went to break that more americans have died because of opioid addiction within terrorist attacks in recent years. not we want to acquaint any deaths of many americans, but it's an interesting statistic to
8:36 am
look at as we try to prioritize this issue. i was looking at one story from ohio, your state, were a corner in a particular area is actually running out of room because of the overdoses and they don't know what to do with the bodies. that description hits home. i'm sure he does to you as well. what are we doing about this? >> it's a terrible epidemic and it's affecting every part of our state. that is number one cause of crime also. people are committing crimes to pay for the addiction because it's costly. this morning, at the coffee we do every week, we talked about the number of people they are burying because of the overdose deaths that they can no longer afford to do so with individuals. he said because of opioids had a big spike in these burials and asked me how can we help here? what a dreadful situation. you're right, it's happening. there are corner offices in ohio
8:37 am
where there are refrigeration trucks pulled up to the coroner's office they don't have room in the facilities. this is a huge challenge for our country. over 100 people dying every day. more people died in the last two years from overdoses than the vietnam war. the new drug which is causing so many problems is a synthetic heroin. it's made in places like china. that's where most of it comes from we are told. there are evil scientists in a laboratory somewhere coping up this chemical mix. it's 30-50 times more powerful than heroin. we're having a hearing on this tomorrow to dig into this deeper and talk about how we can keep some of this poison out of our communities. >> jenna: i'm curious about what you see the appropriate role is on this issue. how do you see the federal
8:38 am
government working for american citizens or is this a local issue where you have communities that need to come together and try to solve this problem? >> that's a terrific question. i've spent a lot of time on this, over 20 years in the drug prevention area particularly. my answer to that would be it will be solved ultimately in our communities and it will be solved and our families and ultimately in our hearts because this is an issue can't legislate away. on the other hand, our hearing tomorrow is about the stop act and it simply says that the u.s. postal service which is the primary way that this drug is coming into our country must put in place to measure how private carriers put them in place. fedex, ups, dhl and others. they have to let the law enforcement know where the packages coming from, what's in it, where it's going. the post office doesn't do that. they're using the postal system to send this.
8:39 am
they can find suspect packages and try to stop it. >> jenna: that is crazy to think about. the postal service is following the same regulations and here, our own postal service is used to deliver drugs to people. senator, it's great to have you on the program. thank you very much. >> leland: back to manchester. there are growing concerns that you have a kingdom that another terror attack may be imminent, with fears of the suspected bomber did not act alone and had accomplices as well. the manchester chief of police enforcing that scenario. >> manchester has seen a
8:40 am
significant increase in the number of officers. we have brought in forces from across the northwest. i think it's very clear that this is a network that we are investigating. it continues at a pace that is extensive. >> leland: security forces are fanning out over the country, even united kingdom military deploying soldiers to some high profile sites and while four people are in custody. the terror level is at the highest level. the father of suspected bomber is speaking out. this happens and sometimes in cases of saying his son is innocent. at the same time confirming that another one of his sons is in
8:41 am
custody, something that is sure to play out over the next couple of days. they canceled the changing of the guards today at buckingham palace because they need police officers and other parts of london. >> jenna: will continue to watch the events overseas. in the meantime, a powerful tornado hits a small town in north carolina. 200 residents picking up the pieces today and more dangerous weather could be on the way down south. we'll get you an update on that. plus pope francis changing his tome and it comes to president trump after criticizing his plan for a border wall in the past. after the two met this morning, they may have more in common than you might think. we'll take a look at that as well.

8:45 am
wide and ran a 14-mile course. fortunately, despite what you're seeing on the screen, there were no fatalities or serious injuries. >> leland: the president under siege right now just landed in brussels ahead of a nato meeting, waiting for some video of the meeting with the belgian prime minister. earlier this morning, he met with pope francis at the vatican. it was special and so many ways. the white house saying the president hopes to send a message of unity and at times, these two had treated words back and forth on twitter among other places, despite the relationship they had in the past, it appears as though it was a truly warm and gracious meeting from both sides. lauren green live in new york city with much more. we only have a few snippets of conversations between the two men, but it seemed as though they had a genuine affection for each other.
8:46 am
>> that's all we get is a few snippets. this was not about pope francis and president trump, their disagreements. dippel medically speaking, they are equals. they met as equals, heads of state. the meeting lasted about 30 minutes, that's about averag average. these are two vastly different people. francis is all about finding common ground. although they've had conflicts, they agree on the issue of abortion, religious liberty. pope francis will let his writing speak for him. the key is to get to the president. copies of his three major writings. the joy of the gospel about the core of christianity come about faith. and then the joy of love. this is about the family, sexual behaviors, divorce and communion. and finally, care about common home. this is a big on the environmen
8:47 am
environment. this comes as the vatican is urging the president to remain in the climate change agreement. a lot of the diplomacy that took place at the vatican -- cordial discussions, talking about a joint commitment. issues the catholic church is very concerned about. >> leland: a lot more on this with a former ambassador. lauren, thank you. >> jenna: a scary incident on a new jersey runway. we'll show you the pictures and just a moment and it is apparently -- you don't see much there. >> leland: that looks pretty normal. >> jenna: been there, done that. apparently there was a fire on a plane last night. felix lehman happened and the aftereffects just ahead what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever?

>> jenna: the cbo of such released a report today on how much the recently passed house health care bill will cost. the score will also give an idea of how many people lose coverage. of the score is in code, house republicans may have to go back to the drawing board. sarah do is a lowe's -- >> the reason they may have to go back to the drawing board even though they already celebrated passing their health care bill in the rose garden is that lawmakers drew the bill up to fit into a very narrow set of rules called budget reconciliation. those rules may be broken depending on how much the congressional budget office decides the measure is going to cost the feds.
8:52 am
that is why the house of representatives has been holding onto this bill they already past when it traditionally would have already been sent to the senate. >> want to have an abundance of caution to make sure cbo scores have been unpredictable in the past. we want to make sure we.our eyes and cross rt's >> the american health care act passed by such a slim margin. it's not guaranteed to pass again if there are major changes. democrats have been needling the party in charge, the republicans about whether or not they're going to need a redo. we heard -- >> is this bill coming back to the house? will will we expect another votn it? if, in fact, we are going to schedule that, we ought to at least be given notice that that
8:53 am
