deliberate intent at every stop. >> shannon: it does. as the president continues and wraps up we'll follow every step of it. all of it live again tomorrow. it's not letting up. it's changing the conversation. >> bill: have a good thursday, everybody. "happening now" starts now and our coverage continues on the fox news channel. >> jenna: fox news alert. president trump with a stirring message for nato. >> leland: nice to be with you and nice to be with you here at home. this is a climactic day for president trump's overseas trip as he pushes the agenda with nato and european leaders that our allies need to pay more for shared security and sump pump their fight against terrorism. the >> nato members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligation obligations. 23 of the 28 member nations are

still not paying what they should be paying and what they are supposed to be paying for their defense. >> jenna: john roberts is live in brussels this morning. >> a call for unity this afternoon at the unveiling of the new building in that memorial. new tensions between old allies today over another matter, british prime minister, theresa may will be meeting at the sidelines and just a little while. at that point, she is expected to have words with him about leaks that have been coming out of the manchester investigation. this is the leak of the bomber's name before u.k. authorities were ready to release it. it was published in the united states. after the home secretary sent a warning to dry up the, "the new york times" posted forensic photographs about the bomb itself and describe the scene and ways of the u.k. government was not yet ready or at least willing to discuss. theresa may, upon her arrival at

nato, more than an hour ago, listen to it she said. >> on the issue of the intelligence sharing with united states of america, we have a special relationship with the usa. it is our deepest and defense security partnership that we have. the partnership is built on trust. part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently and i will be making clear to president trump today that intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies are to remain secure. >> as you can imagine, this caught the eye of the president was complaining about leaks for a long time. he said the alleged leaks coming out of government agencies are deeply troubling. these leaks have been going on for a long time and my administration will get to the bottom of this. the leaks pose a great threat to our national security. i'm asking the department of justice and other relevant agencies to launch complete review of this matter and if

appropriate, the culprit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. there is no relationship we cherish more than the special relationship between united states states and the united kingdom. president trump has been trying to build a coalition against terrorism and pressing that message to nato today. nato is coming along -- they did announce ahead of this later summit that they were initiating a new counterterrorism unit. the president once more, particularly in the wake of the attack in manchester on monday night. listen to what the president said about that and about the future just a short time ago. >> a vicious attack upon our civilization. all people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing, and removing these killers and

extremists. and yes, losers. they are losers. wherever they exist in our societies, we must drive them out and never, ever let them back in. >> the president said that these leaks are a threat to national security and here's proof of that. in the wake of the leaks that came out of the united states, the british government has decided to temporarily suspend intelligence sharing with u.s. authorities. i imagine they will probably resume it after the prime minister talks of the president, but a british official told me that authorities are launching an investigation on intelligence sharing. we share information with them that we do not share with anyone else and we will continue to work closely with the full range of intelligence national security issues. both of our countries benefit enormously from such cooperatio cooperation. it's so shocking here to see

that the british government was so upset about this that they temporarily put a hold on this information sharing. this whole business of leaks at the white house has been having problems with this is the president took over has gone to a whole new level today. >> jenna: thank you very much. another big story for us today. >> leland: we heard the president among others talking about the manchester terror attacks and we have new developments. queen elizabeth visiting some young victims in the hospital today telling the children and their families that the terror attack was dreadful and wicked. this comes as eight suspects have been arrested so far in the manchester police chief says they have uncovered valuable information and searches of homes across the city. greg palkot on the ground in manchester in front of what is a growing memorial to the victims. >> absolutely. as the tributes grow beyond me,

the flowers left at this monument, this memorial for the victims, yes, the police investigation into that attack has grown as well. we've seen arrests overnight. eight people now are in custody including one of the brothers of the attackers, one official telling us she feels they're coming to grips with a network supporting this attacker. there are report associations between them and those isis and al qaeda. officials are also looking at terror figures in germany, france, and belgium.

a couple of days before the attack, he was buying a knapsack which was then filled with explosives and shrapnel to do all of that damage. meanwhile, we did watch today a minute of silence of remembering the victims of the attack. again, there were 22 killed, more identified today. three more teenagers, sadly. 75 people from that attack remain in area hospitals, many of them in critical condition. many of them, young. >> we can't be intimidated by these people. went to stand up and be strong. manchester is a strong city. >> what did you hear feel when you first heard about the attack? >> sick and shocked.

>> i'm just worried about what's going to happen next. it's so sad. >> we also spoke with the mayor of manchester. he had some strong words, negative words about the leaking of information about u.s. law enforcement officials about the investigation. he also had some strong words about his city. he called the attack, it's darkest hour, but he also said he was showing its best. >> leland: greg palkot in manchester. 5:00 there in manchester right now. it's rush hour right now. we're learning from the associated press that armed patrols will be on u.k. trains for the first time. sometimes there are armed officers on patrol. it's unusual in the u.k. for police to carry weapons at all. across the united kingdom, there

will be armed patrol on trains. clearly they feel that there are transport hubs and mass transit in the u.k. that is under threat. speed to one of the questions we are asking is will the manchester attack be a turning point in this presidency smf as suggested? dan heninger writes this. dan joins us now. what's happened in the last few days? >> a lot has happened in the past week. it's been extraordinary. first, he goes to saudi arabia and gives a speech in riyadh and which they are forming a coalition of arab nations, striking a large military relationship with the saudis, and then goes up to israel.

while he's in the midst of those trips in the middle east, manchester happens. i think that for presidents, it's events like this that can really change a president in a presidency. it's one thing to be the president, but it's another thing to understand the full weight and gravity of your office. i think that is what's happening to donald trump over there in europe this week. just doesn't happen happened to george w. bush with 9/11. i think he was a changed man after that. at happen with jimmy carter with the soviet invasion of afghanistan in 1979. something like that is taking place with donald trump in europe this week. >> jenna: we are watching nato headquarters and the gathering of world leaders that represent countries that are a part of this nato alliance. the big, beautiful building that you see behind them is a building that costs more than $1 billion. i just want to mention that, the president mentioned in his

speech that he didn't even ask for the cost of that building. he set it aside because he was talking about the contributions some of these companies are making to nato. we've heard from nicholas burns on our air just shortly after the president spoke and he said this is not the time or place for this. he appreciated some of the president had to say. overall, what did you think of those direct comments to the nato members and the time and place? >> you have to take it all in context. he's over there, trying to enlist them. secretary general said earlier today that nato is now going to join the former alliance that wants to fight islamic state. this is a trump campaign promise and he is over there, and conjunction with his national security team, secretary of state tillerson. jim mattis, h.r. mcmaster who

are undoubtedly the architects of the strategy. i think the president is now in brussels, beginning to pull another piece of it into place, which is nato. the comments on of the nato leadership are not about what he said about the cost of their building, he said that we now realize that we have to focus on a common enemy which is the islamic state. i think you're seeing the beginning of the building of a strategy here. i would regard this week in the middle east and europe for president trump as a huge win for him. a big victory. it has to be recognized as such. >> jenna: will be talking a little bit more about that with you. we are going to listen and hear briefly as we continue to watch this live shot that we have. ♪

>> jenna: and many ways, this is a dedication of the new building, the new headquarters. this building has been in the works for many years. the old headquarters was not sufficient, so we're going to be watching a lot of the ceremony surrounding this particular building. in some ways, i wonder, will go back and forth as we hear different speakers from different parts of the ceremony that we'd like to pay attention to. there have been some conversations about a reset. i reset with our relationship with saudi arabia, perhaps with where things will go with nato. should be not be using that word, all things considered? how do you feel about where this is going to lead next? >> i think you should absolutely

use the word reset. it's a reset in the sense that we are watching it here on screen. president trump at the center of the nations of europe. i think what you're seeing -- barack obama was obviously very ambivalent about the idea of the united states leading in the way we are seeing this week. i think we are seeing a reset back to the traditional role of the united states and the american president and clearly, mr. trump is willing to engage in that role. i think he is understanding the full weight and gravity of the office that he has obtained. when you go over there in a situation like this in riyadh, israel, right where islamic states are carrying out most of their attacks and then go over to europe in the wake of the manchester attack, the president

can't help but be touched by that. i think that he is going to bring that sense of seriousness back to washington. >> jenna: let's bring it back at home. what does that mean for the american people? >> the american people are not going to -- the american people want trump presidency to succeed. they don't wanted to fail. they probably want to get away from the pettiness they've been seeing in washington for the past several months. i think they are disturbed by the idea that there are facts being leaked outside the white house. mr. trump returning from this extraordinary trip is going to understand that what the american people want is what he should want inside the white house. there is going to be a renewed sense of seriousness. >> jenna: if you go to any of these countries, by the way, the trip is not over. the president will continue on to sicily, he'll continue to have meetings. we still have a few more days of this. one of the things that has been

mentioned in one of the many comments that has been made is that there hasn't been that direct focus on russia, talking about vladimir putin. here at home, we can look at "the new york times" today and see that paper continuing to cover the russia story and the question of collusion with a trump administration. that's domestic. this is international. how do you see these two stories coming together and what you think about the last tensions placed on russia in this particular part of the trip? >> as i say about the american people, they regard the russian collusion story as a secondary concern. washington has been a primary concern for weeks. i think when use the president president coming back to washington, one group that has to decide where the future lies of the democratic party. you recall that after 9/11, when

you had something like the war on terror but he's prosecuting here in europe, the whole country came together in a bipartisan way. that dissipated and the democrats started to fight president bush over the patriot act. fast forward to now and you have a democratic party who is in a mode of total resistance to president trump. their question is, could they even support him and get his leadership role and trying to press get the war on terror or will they stand on the sidelines for the length of the trump presidency question work some democratic leaders have to decide whether that is a proper role for them. >> jenna: when it comes to domestic politics, we have a couple big issues we are talking about. we're talking about health care. we also have tax reform, we have all these big, domestic i you've heard from h.r. mcmaster, american first does not mean america alone.

how does the president prioritize all these issues that on his desk? we have these other domestic policies that are a priority as well. >> not only the president has to think about prioritizing, it's the support and the republican party. it is ironic that donald trump is getting more support today from the leaders of europe and nato than he is getting from the republicans in his own party in washington? it's kind of pathetic on the republican party. are they going to bog down now and draw out the legislation of the health care bill, pushing a tax reform act into the background? or are they going to try to figure out a way to come together and expedite this legislative agenda? we understand his politics, but there is a point where republicans are basically boarding the progress of a trump agenda. >> jenna: you mentioned the tension that has been created on

this trip. perhaps this helps with republican compromise and beyond? >> the president has had to bear some responsibility for the tumult in washington. it comes down to the tweeting, the fighting, the firing of the fbi director comey, he was entitled to do that. somehow the comey thing became a three-day story, never should have lasted that long. the president contributed to some of that, but i have a feeling that when he comes back, he is going to understand that that is all that stuff is really secondary to at the american people put him in the presidency to do, and i think he felt the gravity of that here in europe. i do believe he is going to bring that back to washington and we will hopefully see less of the pettiness and more the seriousness of what this presidency should be about. >> jenna: we're going to be talking about accountability. when he put these ideas out there, how do you hold those

members accountable? it's great to have you, thank you very much for spinning some time with us as we continue to watch live pictures from brussels. >> leland: great conversation there. one of the big issues at the president and the house and the senate are going to have to deal with when the president comes back as health care. the numbers are in. with republican health care bill means for you and not all senate republicans are getting behind the plan. we'll tell you why coming up. plus president trump ending with the leaders of nato countries for the first time today as we told you. live pictures from brussels and the fight against terrorism and sharing the costs are high on the president's agenda. the former u.s. ambassador to nato tells us how the other countries and nato feel about that when we return. i count on my dell small business advisor

>> jenna: a fox news alert. president trump repairs for a working dinner with the leaders of our narrow allies, he wants the nato members to share the cost of defense. the >> will agree to establish a new terrorism intelligence coalition here at nato headquarters, improving how we share intelligence, including all foreign fighters. this is not just about cash, but also about capabilities and meaningful contributions to nato's missions, operations, and engagements. joining us now, former u.s. ambassador to nato. what a great day to have you on our program. thank you very much. >> great to be here. >> jenna: i'm curious about what you think transpired over the last hour, including the

opening comments by the president directly talking to nato countries about the fact that they haven't paid, and his word, their fair share. >> we've seen very strong statements and support for nato on the one hand from president trump himself when the secretary general visited him at the white house, but also a strong push and nato allies to spend 2% gdp on defense. it's not fair that not everyone does it. we are seeing more countries increase in defense spending torrid that 2% than we've ever seen. >> jenna: i'm interested -- relationships in the past have not been equal. how do you create this new president that there is equal contribution without damaging the alliance in the meantime?

>> the secret is that nato has agreed on the 2% target all along from 2000 when i was still working all the way up to the summit in 2014 in wales. nato allies agreed that we will all spend 2% gdp on defense. the problem is no one was following through. now we are starting to see that people are following through. >> jenna: in what ways are we seeing that? >> the increases in defense spending. germany has said they can make that 2% target by 2024. that's what was agreed in 2014, it was a 10-year target. there's a lot of money involved here. you have an increase but almost 1% gdp. that's a lot of money to throw into something. that's what several other countries are doing. >> jenna: i'm curious about the new headquarters. as we are watching, it's a

beautiful building. we watched the leaders and to this morning, i thought how much did that building cost? to cost more than billion dollars. that's a big amount of money. i don't know if you have any information about how that money came together, but it was a sharp contrast. you have a billion-dollar building, but countries who aren't contriving their fair share of defense. can you bring us together? >> first off, look at the numbers. a billion dollars is an awful lot of money. when he compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars that go into defense spending for the alliance has a hole, it doesn't stack up. that's multiple billions of dollars just from germany. the original nato headquarters in brussels was built at a military hospital in the 1960s. when the french through nato out of paris, the belgians offered that and said you can use this.

ed is scotch tape and glue, it has been a fire hazard. it's worked overtime, but nato definitely needed a new building. this decision to build a new building was made in 1999, if you can believe it. it's taken them that long to work through the process. >> jenna: we've all been in all government buildings. would you want to be able to be modernized. the question is, is it? what do you think is the state of the alliance today? it even and lies a few comments we've seen so far. a >> a couple things. one of them is the commitment to defense is very real and very strong today. that is largely because of the behavior from russia and invading ukraine and invading georgia, threatening some nato allies like the baltic states.

there is a sense that nato does serve a necessary role for providing defense. secondly, you have things like isis or the operation in afghanistan, the ability to have nato allies integrate their forces on priorities in the united states is very, very valuable for the u.s. and that's something nato continues to help. >> jenna: e believe it is effective? >> i do, if we didn't have it, we would regret it. >> jenna: do you mark >> i won't repeat the president's comments, but let me say it's important work that's getting done at nato. it takes a lot of work to make that happen, but it is beneficial. >> jenna: great to have the perspective from someone on the inside. we appreciate your thoughts today. thank you.

>> leland: speaking of the new nato headquarters, billion dollars buys you a big building and a lot of flags. this is the flag raising ceremony of all the countries flags being raised outside of nato headquarters. you talked about strength and terms of what this represents. you see all these flags, there's a lot more flags now and nato than there were when nato was first founded to take on the soviet union. that's the turkish flag being raised right there. now within this nato alliance, you're seeing a split about policy. >> jenna: it's a very interesting alliance and one that has deserved a lot of attention over the years. it's a reminder that nato troops have been a part of our combat

operations in different times. families have lost sons and daughters in the wars that we have fought over the years. the alliance has been strong in that particular area. maybe not financial, but thinking about the contributions of families of countries that belong to nato. what we have said together, the service that we have done together. it was interesting to get the ambassador's thoughts on that. the building, obviously a project a long time coming. it certainly is a big operation. when you see the flags altogether, it's a reminder, here are all these nations attempting to work together. >> leland: as you pointed out, so many sacrifices given by so many.

right now, house speaker, paul ryan right after the congressional budget office report on the health care bill. the >> speaker ryan: out of memorial day, we are attacking a bipartisan challenge and we are taking bipartisan action to help our veterans and their families. it is especially good news that we are making process on fixing a long-standing problem with the va claims backlog. so many of us in congress have been working on this for so many years, dealing with our own constituents and their problems. rents have bills to pay. their families to support. the last thing is enough to deal with is endless bureaucracy and unfortunately, that's what's gone on at the va with his claims backlog. if you've been involved in congress working on these cases, it's heart wrenching to see a veteran who needs health care get stuck in his claims backlog. the initiative of the house passed this week with bipartisan, unanimous support will expedite the process so that veterans can get timely decisions and have real peace of mind and get rid of this claims

backlog. lastly, i want to talk about a very important health care reform. it's a report from the department of health and human services. it's the datapoint report. the department of health and human services has released an analysis that says that since obamacare went into effect, average premiums have more than doubled nationwide. since obamacare went into effect, average health care premiums doubled nationwide. remember when president obama promised that his health care plan would lower the typical families premiums by up to $2500? under obamacare, average premiums have gone up by nearly $3,000. this law did not drop premiums by $2500 as promised. average premiums have gone up by over $3,000. by nearly $3,000. just yesterday, a new shoe drops every week on obamacare. just yesterday, blue cross and

blue shield announced that it will pull out of 32 counties in missouri. this will affect many people. the company said this is unsustainable. this is exactly why we are on a rescue mission. between premiums surging up and choices going away, obamacare is on an unsustainable path. blue cross blue shield plans, they are nonprofit. there the last plane standing in a market. when they're pulling out of states like kansas and missouri, we have a serious problem on our hands. this law is in the middle of a collapse. we need to bring down the cost of coverage and we need to revitalize the market so that people have real choices and rail access to affordable health care. that's what our plan will do. were happy to get you a copy of this report if you need it or if you want, you can go to their website and see it for yourself. questions? >> reporter: given what

happened last night, -- >> speaker ryan: let me just say, physical altercations, there's never a call for physical altercations. there is no time in a physical altercation should occur with the press or between human beings. that is wrong and it should not have happened. should the gentleman apologize? yeah, he should. i know he has his own version and i know he'll have more to say, but there is no call for this on any circumstance. the people of the state of montana are going to decide today who they will send to congress. if he wins, he has been chosen by the people of montana who their congress is going to be. we let the people of montana decide who they want as their representative. >> reporter: you have the

choice whether he's a part of the conference. not the kind of behavior -- >> speaker ryan: i do not think this is acceptable behavior. the choices made by the people of montana. >> reporter: we have the health care bill in the senate. out of the meeting yesterday, we heard it was good news. why do we hear so many republicans basically beating the living tar out of the cbo? >> speaker ryan: i've seen both parties beating the tar out of the cbo. i've been doing this for a long time. the problem is the $23 million claim, there's a lot more to it than what that sounds like. what i'm encouraged by is the fact that cbo said yes, we had our budget target and then some. the bill is clearly in compliance with reconciliation

instructions. what i'm encouraged, would cbo says, we're going to drop premiums. it will get states like wisconsin flexibility to get premiums down. look what just happened in missouri and look what happened in kansas. we see a law that is collapsing. we see a new study that came out yesterday that says premiums have doubled in america because of obamacare. people can afford this. would cbo just told us as the reforms and put in this bill will help lower premiums. i'm very encouraged by that. what members are frustrated with is what's behind the cbo analysis about who gets insured and doesn't, they leave it up to a person's choice, they don't make a choice. the government is going to stop forcing people to buy something that they don't want to buy, then they won't buy it. that's what cbo is saying. i think for the lack of clarity on that point is what has members frustrated.

i think i just answered your question. >> reporter: your side really embraced that into 23 million. >> speaker ryan: i just explained it. >> reporter: they did find that premiums on average would go down, but it also said that they believe there might not be any premium access. >> speaker ryan: obviously i disagree with that. >> reporter: it doesn't show up for older and sicker. >> speaker ryan: if a state takes a waiver, that in order to get that waiver, it has to have a risk system in place. we have experience with this where i come from. we have a risk pool. a state has to have a risk system in place and that system is designed to make sure that people with a catastrophic illness, somebody who has a

pre-existing condition also gets access to affordable health care. what we have learned through experience is if we target resources at the state level and at the federal level to help make sure that we subsidize catastrophic illnesses, what you end up doing as you lower the premiums for everybody else. we think that's so much smarter. what obamacare tried to do is force younger, healthier people to pay way more for their health insurance than they otherwise would have paid. it didn't happen. it didn't work. they are not buying the health insurance. as a result, the health insurers are collapsing. a blue cross blue shield pulling out of missouri and kansas. iowa has nothing left. there are no plans left in iowa because obamacare collapse. it is collapsing. what we're saying is let's be smart about this. what do we want? what do we all want?

we want everybody who doesn't get health care from either medicare or medicaid or from their job, about 11% of americans, we want them to get access to affordable health care. we need a smart way to do this. that is to force -- don't force young people to pay for the health insurance because we are finding out they're not pure they won't buy it. let's let people buy insurance that is priced competitively, give people more choice, have more competition, let states be innovative my own state was before obamacare, and let's direct support directly to the people of catastrophic illnesses. let's subsidize those that have these severe illnesses so they get affordable comprehensive coverage, they don't go bankrupt when they get sick, and by doing that, we free up the marketplace remedy else so they can get even lower premiums. that's what the waiver is all about, giving states the possibility to do this. that's why i'm comforted by the cbo report which shows we will lower premiums. we have to get premiums down and we have to make sure the people

with pre-existing conditions can get affordable coverage. >> reporter: would premiums in fact go up question marks before i just answered that question. >> reporter: the secretary called for a clean debt -- they also want something done by august. where do you stand on this? >> speaker ryan: it wouldn't be -- every treasury secretary says this and they need to say this stuff. i expect nothing less from the treasury secretary. they all should say that, they'll do say that. we're going to be talking with our members and administration on how to resolve the debt ceiling. that issue will get resolved. the timing is what is newsworthy. receipts aren't quite what people thought they were. >> reporter: to follow up, on

the cbo, the language they use when it comes to premiums, despite the additional funding, those americans would face extremely high premiums. how do you ensure that those sicker americans will be priced out? >> speaker ryan: the cbo report doesn't quite state is states but their own part of this as well. this is what the analysis forgets, we are for the first time ever proposing to put billions of dollars on the federal government for risk systems and states, whether it's a risk will come on risk sharing. what's important to note, states do their own part of this as well. and wisconsin for instance, we had an assessment on all the health insurance plans. we had an agreement among providers, they would have a fee schedule they would agree to. maine had an assessment on their

health insurance plans. the point i'm trying to make is you don't look at the risk idea at the federal alone. the states will always do some of the lifting. they'll have an agreement with providers and so we will have federal resources and state resources, which taken together will improve the situation. we had a very successful risk pool and wisconsin. our insurance commissioner came up and testified as much. it was very successful, and it didn't have a dime of federal spending. it had no federal money whatsoever. what we're saying is let's do even more of that. let's have these states put together their own risk systems what they had in the past and on top of that, let's add federal funding so it's even better. that's the point where trying to make. report back to be very clear, you're saying states will be able to afford to do without so the cbo production ups extremely high premiums -- go >> speaker ryan: take a look at the main

model and the wisconsin model. you have to give states the ability to customize solutions for their areas. the health insurance system provider network and wisconsin as a whole lot different than it is a new york, let alone new mexico, texas, and california, or maine. give states the ability to customize support. for the first time ever, we are adding federal dollars to this because we think it's a lot smarter to directly subsidize care for people with catastrophic illnesses. 1% of the people draw 23% of the cost. at the state level in the federal level, we are going to cover those costs, will put extra resources and they are if we do that, we do two things. peace of mind for people with pre-existing conditions and catastrophic illnesses, and innovation of the state level so it can be done the right way so it works in that state, and you lower premiums for everybody

else because the insurance does not have to cover that catastrophic illness, it can cover the basic of insurance needs and you stabilize those insurance markets. by the way, look at what we're looking at right now. not only is is an unstable insurance market, we have a collapsing insurance market and that is why this is a rescue mission. thank you very much everybody. >> jenna: this is a rescue mission, that's exactly where he wanted to end when talk about health care. the cbo score that came out in the last 24 hours has brought up a lot of questions about the future of health care in our country of that bill were to work its way through the senate and then become law. we are a long way from that and the speaker has a lot of questions to answer about what exactly the bill would produce in the american health care system. yeah things bigger mentioned was the story out of montana. here's the background.

there have been some really big drama in the special election in montana. republican candidates to replace secretary of the interior was ryan zinke and the candidate is facing assault charges after allegedly attacking a reporter. our fox news crew saw it firsthand. here's what the reporters voice recorder picked up. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys! get the hill out of here! get the hill out of here! >> jenna: she joins us. >> three of us were in that room setting up for a prearranged interview when ben jacobs of the guardian came in with his audio recorder and started asking questions about the cbo report

that speaker ryan was just discussing. he said he would get to him later, and then jacobs pushed it a little further and at that point, he said go talk to my press guy, shane, he wrapped him at the upper part of the body and slammed him answered and punching him and saying i'm sick and tired of this. and the way he scramble out of the way. i was about 2-3 feet away from them and when this happened. the other two members of the crew were all in there. he left the area and has now been charged with misdemeanor assault. we can show you the citation that was issued, listing the misdemeanor assault. ed also explained the nature of injuries to mr. jacobs does not

meet the statutory element of a felony assault. now greg gianforte must appear in court sometime between now and june. if he enters a not guilty, he will get a court date. they are saying that ben jacobs was much more aggressive than what i just described. they were saying that he was aggressively jumping the recorder into his face as a result of all this, the three largest newspapers in this state have removed their endorsements and today is election day for the special election. i should also mention that folks in this state have been voting through their absentee voting

system here which a lot of states do. we'll have to wait and see what the results are. we reached out to greg gianforte today, we did not hear from him. >> jenna: thanks to you and the rest of your crew. a big story and we'll continue to watch it. thanks very much. >> leland: back now overseas as british investigators are furious and prime minister theresa may could lecture president trump about intelligent leaks. after photographs from the manchester bombing crime scene ended up on the front page of american newspapers. what the white house is saying in response when we come back.

>> leland: back now to our top stories. british officials say they are furious over u.s. leaks of the manchester bombing investigation. president trump at nato headquarters in brussels today, he is expected to address his meeting with theresa may. the mayor of manchester, understandably upset is also weighing in. >> obviously i find this staggering. from the very first minute american media reporting details of the investigation here. it is wrong, it is arrogant, it is disrespectful to the people of manchester, but mainly to the families and to those injured. >> leland: not mincing words. joining us from washington, d.c., michael singh, manager of the russian institute and former director of the national security council. leaks are not unprecedented, but

it seems the public naming and shaming from one country to another that has the special relationship and trouble. >> obviously, there is a lot of outrage in the u.k. about this. the proximate cause of that outrage are these pictures that were published in "the new york times" of the the blast which was seen as quite insensitive to the families and victims. and this is an ongoing investigation. this terrorist is seen is not a lone wolf, but part of a network so there may be further arrests and raids, and then there's the desire not to compromise any event ongoing investigation. >> leland: as you pointed out, there is two parts of the danger of this, one is the issue of respect to the family, the second being the compromise and an investigation. the second question is who in the u.s. government would do this? conceivably anybody who has access to this stuff has gone through the security clearance

process. you filled out those documents, taken a lie detector test. and taken on upon yourself to leak these to the media. at some point, it feels like a special kind of arrogance. >> leaks are complicated. you can investigate them and punish them, but i'm not sure that solves the problem. i think it comes down to a few things. number one, you have to have people in place, who you trust, and who really take ownership of these intelligence relationships so they value the partnership, so they value that respect and that trust. second, you have to have discipline not just about leaks, but speaking to the media period. when i was at the white house, those of us in policy positions and work spokesman, we weren't allowed to interact. >> leland: i want to get to the rest of us, but i want to get to what the president put out. this statement came very quickly, saying i'm asking the

department of justice and other relevant agencies to launch a complete review of this matter and if appropriate, the culprit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. does that send a different message to potential leakers? >> i think it's a welcome message, but you have to do those other things as well. everyone who handles classified information signed a form and they should understand the consequences, but there are also other things that play. the third thing is the internal atmosphere and the administration. people are leaking as part of a faction so they have to address that. there's a lot of factors. >> leland: this seems different than the factional political leaking we've seen. thank you so much. will be right back if you have medicare
