8:00 am
>> bill: i didn't think you and janice were going to stop talking. have a great weekend everybody. bye-bye. >> sky news in london reporting police have identified a suspect of the terror attack on a subway this morning when a homemade bomb partially detonated at the height of rush hour sending 22 people to the hospital. hello everyone, i'm julie banderas, welcome to speech when he won. >> leland: be with you. i am leland vittert in for jon scott. this friday morning took a terrifying turn when a device partially exploded exposing a flash of flame. here's a video showing a white plastic bucket inside a shopping bag with flames and what appears to be visible wire.
8:01 am
that is the screen left, helicopter footage above the scene. police say 22 people and also for nonlife-threatening injuries. most of them being called flash burns. a number of other people got hurt as they ran for their lives. take a look at one witness describing the chaos. >> i turned and saw the remnants of the flash and smoke and then hordes of people. like a stampede. running towards me. they had head injuries from the stampede. it was every man for himself when that happened, but the burn victims severely on both legs and no sign of clothing, so it was just torn through. >> leland: scotland yard's counterterrorism team now leading the investigation.
8:02 am
police understandably have increased their presence around the city. we find amy kellogg in london with more. hi amy. >> hi leland. as you said, scotland yard, according to our sister network sky news has identified a suspect. this thanks to going through footage in london saying a lot of people complain about their privacy here. and moments like these, you have to be grateful that they exist. on an emotional note here, school is breaking up. in the last half-hour, i have seen numerous little chubby and being led home by the hand by their parents, having hushed conversations about why so many tv cameras and police tape here in this neighborhood and i'm
8:03 am
curious, what those parents have to say to curious little children. in the meantime, the counterterror command in london have a massively increased police presence over the weekend, particularly in crowded areas. hundreds of detectives are being backed up by domestic spy service. 22 injured during this blast or after this blast, not with life-threatening wounds. the explosion went off not fully detonating and that is probably a good thing. it appears it may have been in this bucket that was a homemade bomb with some wires and a time timer. after an emergency cabinet meeting around midday, prime minister theresa may was asked about president trump's tweet earlier today about terrorists being within the site of scotland yard. she had this to say. >> i don't think it supple for a buddy to speculate on what is an
8:04 am
ongoing investigation. as i just said, the security services are working on this cowardly attack and to identify who is responsible. >> person screen is an upscale residential neighborhood. parts of it were evacuated, partially evacuated temporarily so police could continue their investigation because in the aftermath of something like this, there are so many tips that come in to police and there are so many frantic people spreading information and getting nervous about things they see and packages in that kind of thing. it seems to be getting back to normal here. police are saying to people, please be aware, be vigilant, but don't be alarmed. however, and point to point out this is the fifth terror attack in the united kingdom so far this year. leland? >> leland: unfortunately, the breads are getting used to dealing with this. amy kellogg on the ground just before rush hour. back to you as news warrants,
8:05 am
thank you. julie has more. >> julie: was "hall, u.s. news editor for "the wall street journal" ." the president this morning tweeting a lot. first of all, reacting to london, calling the suspected terrorists losers and then highlighting some interesting points in one of his tweets about the police there and the fact that they could have possibly prevented those. what is he alluding to? >> it's a difficult mystery to unravel because we don't know any thing about the suspect. at that point, we heard from british authorities is that they don't think he was picking from intelligence, he was speaking more based on his gut then and in many cases as a scene in the united states as well, suspect in these incidences have been on the radar, but there have been challenges in terms of how far can law enforcement go in a preventative way before some one takes action?
8:06 am
>> julie: he said must be proactive and nasty. he also talked about the fact that they should call off internet access to any of these extremist groups which is a fabulous idea. when the world is not being done? >> there are challenges there as well because we don't know who's who and how do you cut off isolated access to facebook or twitter or other social media accounts? the broader message the president was bringing was i think this is an example of why we need to have the kind of security measures that i'm pushing for. those were the words he was putting out there. look at my travel ban, i'm trying to give america safe. look at the other efforts on trying to do. we can allow this to continue to happen and i'm keeping america safe. that was his message. >> julie: re-going to the press briefing later this afternoon and general mcmaster will be joining. i'm sure the be addressing the situation to london. standby, i'm coming right back to you.
8:07 am
>> leland: we head to the white house. john roberts on the north lawn. don, you have to imagine that all of the things at the white house is dealing with, you now add this terror attack in london to the plate. they've got a lot involved both domestically and internationally. >> certainly come a "no" question about that. the president has to new york this weekend and will head the united nations general assembly. he is going to talk to all those world leaders about those problems next week. the president this morning with this terror attack in london, very much on his mind at the rose garden today, speaking briefly with the press about it lamenting the fact that britain is seeing yet another attack. listen to what the president said. >> is a terrible thing. we have to be very smart and very, very tough. we are not nearly tough enough. it's an absolutely terrible
8:08 am
thing in fact in calling the prime minister right now. >> he did speak with british prime minister theresa may, and must have been an age thing phone call because in a tweet this morning, the president seemed to blame british police were dropping the ball weeding out another attack in london by a loser terrorist. these are sick and demented people who were in the sights of scotland yard. must be proactive. a push back on tweed both from scotland yard and the british prime minister, theresa may. scotland yard saying they'd only know who the suspects are, let alone if they were on the radar screen. theresa may in an interview saying that the president may have knew something that they don't. he also said the need to be forceful tweeting out loser terrorist must be dealt with in a much tougher manner. the internet as their main recruitment tool which you must cut off and use better. he also tweeted out this, we
8:09 am
have made more progress in the last nine months against isis than the obama administration has made in eight years must be proactive and nasty. the trouble been which was upheld, the travel ban should be far your archer, tougher, and more specific but stupidly, that would not be paid a likely correct. again in the rose garden, the present was asked what he meant by that tweet. listen here. >> why was the president and the rose garden at all question work a few weeks ago, this 11-year-old boy from virginia said he was an enterprising man who started his own lawn mowing business and wanted to showcase what kids his age could do to be entrepreneurs and who would love to cut the lawn at the white house. the president took him up on the idea and the offer and there he is mowing the rose garden this morning. the president said he does not have a future in the landscape business, when he wants to be is a navy seal.
8:10 am
the president also reassuring his base on his base on dacahis base on daca the president saying any deal on daca has to be done with a wall. will hear from the president later this afternoon and we have a briefing this afternoon, a lot of that will be taken as a preview about will happen next week. the national security advisor will meet us all later. >> leland: both of those events as they happen. we know you are on the north lawn and the lawn mower was on the south lawn. any idea how much a 10-year-old makes for mowing the south lawn or is the president not finished with negotiations? >> first of all, he's 11 years old and we don't know how
8:11 am
financially astute at 10-year-old is. they can take advantage -- they get take advantage of all the time. i think he's doing it pro bono. he just wants to show the president and the nation what summary of his caliber can do. >> leland: it's certainly good advertising. i'm sure he'll have lots of customers come next summer. john roberts, appreciated, thank you sir. >> julie: he'll be out there shoveling snow, what you mean customer he's not done. for more on this, let's bring back glenn hall. let's talk about the daca deal because it's not officially a deal first of all. this wasn't a nerve between nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and it really aggravated the heck out of g.o.p. leaders. let's be clear here you're not only is there not a deal, is the g.o.p. in control of the house, not the democrats. how bad is a daca deal for republicans? >> there's two sides.
8:12 am
first, the president signaling a little but of displeasure with republicans not getting other legislative items done and signaling a willingness to do what it takes. there's going to be some issues between democrats and republicans if there is a bipartisan one because the only much more stricter border security measures. the issue of citizenship is going to be real sticking point. >> julie: they had a verbal agreement that they would shield the so-called dreamers and pretty much do away with trumpet building a wall promise that he made to voters. that was one of the big reasons why. then he tweeted after to clear the air, tweeting the wall which is already under construction will continue to be built. is he renovating the wall or is he going to build the wall? >> this is been the definition
8:13 am
of the wall. though wall could be a metaphor for the border. this could be were going to fix this border any means possible peer that's one interpretation of what he was saying and that tweet. the broader issue here and support to note, the president has distinguished the wall promise from the daca promise. i want to be able to figure out a legislative solution and i don't want to get it mocked up by the wall. i do want to have border in there. they agreed on those points, but how the details get worked out as the problem. >> julie: we know about the admin astray, the president will not abandon immigration reform. that is true, whether the wall goes up or not, that's a wait and see. glenn hall, great to see you, think you so much. >> leland: another thing on the president's as john roberts was talking about, north korea launching another missile over japan as a country conducted its most powerful nuclear test yet. so powerful and may have triggered a much stronger earthquake than originally
8:14 am
thought. what does this mean for the united states and our allies in the pacific? next more on this. whoooo. you're searching for something. like the perfect deal... ...on the perfect hotel. so wouldn't it be perfect if... ....there was a single site... ...where you could find the... ...right hotel for you at the best price? there is. because tripadvisor now
8:15 am
compares... ...prices from over 200 booking... ...sites ...to save you up to 30%... ...on the hotel you want. trust this bird's words. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices. this is todd hardy. a fitness buff, youth baseball coach-and lung cancer patient. the day i got the diagnosis, i was just shocked. the surgeon in dallas said i needed to have the top left lobe of my lung removed. i wanted to know what my other options were. and i found that at cancer treatment centers of america. at ctca, our experts examine a variety of therapies, treatments and technologies to identify a plan specifically for each patient. my doctor understood that who i am was just as important as what cancer i had. we talked about options. my doctor told me about a robotic surgery that was less invasive. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. at ctca, it's all about what you can do.
8:16 am
i feel fantastic now. exploring treatment options is at the heart of how we fight cancer. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more about our treatment options at cancercenter.com/lung. appointments available now.
8:17 am
>> leland: a fox news alert is north korea launched its second ballistic missile over japan. obviously striking fear among residents as it crossed over the northern part of the country and landed in the pacific ocean. and happen to very early this morning japan time. just days after the united nations security council unanimously voted for more sanctions on the regime of kim jong un. kim jong un not very happy about that in the security council has scheduled an emergency meeting at 3:00 p.m. today. secretary of state rex tillerson released a statement. "the continued provocations only deepen north korea's diplomatic
8:18 am
and isolation." joining is now, robert natter. nice to see you, sir. it appears kim jong un doesn't really care about being more diplomatically and economically isolated as a secretary of state put it. that said, do the u.s. and the japanese have capabilities into pan. why not try to shoot this missile down as a response to the north koreans? >> for one thing, the trajectory of this particular missile shot was not a threat to japan. something like a patriot missile site or thaad not have the opportunity to shoot this in its face. it would provide more capability and that certainly is a system
8:19 am
that many other countries are looking at, but for this particular shot, ed was not a threat to japan based on its trajectory. >> leland: you talk about destroyers, there's a couple destroyers that are off-line right now because they ran aground or ran into another ship or have other issues. that's something the 7th fleet is dealing with. big picture. what does it tell you that so far secretary mattis and president trump have not ordered the deployment of bombers, they've not ordered reinforcements for the 7th fleet to steam toward japan and aircraft carriers upper north korea? the position of u.s. forces hasn't changed despite everything north korea has done. >> i think united states leadership is trying mightily to not escalate this thing into a military confrontation because there will be no winners if there is a military
8:20 am
confrontation. no winners counting the united states of america. they're trying to control this, they're trying to deal with it, but also i think you mentioned the mobility of the united states navy forces and our military forces in general, there is no doubt the navy can move as many forces in the area as we need to to handle the threat and there are options to do that. >> leland: a lot has been made about the distance at this missile flew, that it was almost the exact same distance as from north korea to guam where the u.s. puts so much of its forces and the airbase with the b-1 bombers there. i'm guessing that distance wasn't a coincidence. >> i would think not. what this really does, kim jong un is gradually and quickly developing increased capability with the range capability and
8:21 am
the ability to handle a miniature nuclear weapon on its missile systems peer this is gone but he and there is no doubt that it's becoming a threat to us and our allies. >> leland: as you note, quite the game going on and will have the war of words at the u.n. over the next couple of days as president trump comes to new york to speak to the u.n. admiral natter, appreciate your time and expertise. have a great weekend. >> julie: once a center of the free-speech moment, the council of uc berkeley was on virtual lockdown. not the first time protests and arrests all due to the presence of a conservative speaker on campus. >> the reason i'm here is because fascism does not own this university because there are students who do want to hear differing views. we don't want to be told that they can only hear one view. live-stream your favorite sport

8:25 am
xfinity, the future of awesome. >> a couple problems, one as far as serving trump/ pens, again, i didn't vote for trump or hilary. i didn't vote for either of them actually. this idea that i am somehow a servant of trump is absurd and requires you to be functionally illiterate. as for as the idea that i'm a whites premises, do you see the thing on the top of my head? this funny hat, called the yarmulke. what to premises turn that fond of it. if you don't agree with the left, everyone's awaits a premises to.
8:26 am
>> leland: and finally happened, conservative commentator ben shapiro speaking on uc berkeley despite protests. proving that free-speech's and freed, ed cost six hundred thousand dollars in security against potential nt for joining us now. $600,000 for security, we don't know the final cost because uc berkeley has offered free counseling to anyone too upset by mr. shapiro's appearance to be able to go to class today and perhaps the mental health for years to come. how did we get to this point? >> it's an extraordinary development quite frankly. what happened is the left has essentially given up logical argument and they now automatically go to the nuclear option of accusing anybody who disagrees with them and their ideology of being a racist, baguette, fascist, and they
8:27 am
treat speech with which they disagree as violence in itself. the whole point of free speech as you express what you believe and you can debate what you believe without resorting to violence. americans founding has the idea that those two things are different but this is not what the left believes. >> leland: that brings me to the next point because there are a few arrests and may have the mug shots of the folks who decided they cannot allow mr. shapiro to speak. reports from down on the ground there show that there was a number of people chanting and this is a quote "speech is violent. we will not be silent." then, let's ignore the irony in that statement for a moment. move to this. where were these people in high school civics class when number one, they learned about what the first amendment meant conceivably. maybe they skipped class, but number two, what message does the university send to these kids when they say, if you don't like something, this is
8:28 am
acceptable behavior? it may be excitable uc berkeley, it's not acceptable in the real world. people don't put up with it. employers, the military if you go that route. unless you want to live in your parent's basement, this doesn't work out so well for you. >> certainly ben shapiro has as much right as anyone to speak especially on a public school campus where he was invited. on the flip side, you also have protesters who certainly have their own right to protest peacefully under the first amendment as well. the problem here is the threat of violence. from what i've seen, there have been some arrests and maybe we can be hopeful that it didn't turn into something, a major clash. the threat of violence is something that most logical people can really get behind and summing us concerning. >> leland: hugo, isn't there a larger point about college kids in america? people of and talking out the issues these kids have, but when a college offers mental health
8:29 am
counseling and is willing to do that for kids who are somehow offended because someday showed up and said something they may not really agree with, what message does that send? how is that preparing america's youth conceivably some of the brightest and best from california for a future in the real world? is the university for filling their obligation to help prepare these kids for a lifetime of success? >> no, they're not filling their duty. they are allowing those students who are no longer children and young adults to live and function in the bubble which is completely divorced from the realities of the world. there is a real problem that those people come out of university and then i start changing the world and the culture war that's been going on or the fight over free-speech and the larger culture war is affecting not just campuses, but seeds out into the world. it's affecting our politics
8:30 am
right now. >> leland: you make an excellent point and another point i heard made on this issue is how the liberal students and activists of the 1960s have now come back and they are the college of minister rader's of the 20 tens, allowing the same kind of thing to go on that they propagated back in the upper 360s. ben, hugo, appreciate your time. thanks. >> julie: hurricane irma destroying homes and displacing pets. those of the defenseless ones. how you can help organizations dedicated to rescuing those animals and reuniting them. plus florida is on the road to recovery following irma's devastation, but it will be a very long process, especially in the 40 keys. take a look at that boat complete lease emerged. a live update next as we hear incredible accounts from people who experienced irma firsthand. >> standing on the house and your feet were vibrating, you heard this deep deep roar of

8:34 am
>> julie: fox news alert. florida's recovery from hurricane irma picking up in some parts of the state as power is restored to millions of people. >> leland: that's a good news. but a different story where there are only about 20% of the people down there who have electricity. phil keating live from big-time keys florida with more.
8:35 am
not having electricity may be the least of some people's problems. >> in key west, you can only take a shower for two hours in the morning or two hours at night. no electricity, it is sweltering lee hot and humid in key west. five days ago, category four irma ranged through here. this is where the eye of the storm blew through here and or chili, the camp for kids where they come by the school bus and live for a week or two go back in time, no tvs, no radios, it's now totally, totally destroyed. every building has to be demolished. this sea surge, the ocean surge was very strong, very high. every neighborhood pool around here is for a black gook. you had a catamaran that was
8:36 am
ripped up, flipped over like a somersault and smashed back down into the water upside down. other boats up on land now. up on concrete. lot of repairs, as not just totaled boats. gasoline also remains very, very much needed. long lines of the few gas stations that have reopened and feel relief fund is down here today giving gasaway for free. up to 5 gallons per person, which is very critical for all these people without electricity because they have to have generators to run some sort of power line into their house and you'll need gasoline for that. one of the local residents starting to get frustrated, he said was really needed right now, resources and hands. >> what is needed is hands. need materials, we need lumber, we need to clear our yards so we can see what's broken and so we can fix it.
8:37 am
it's really tough right now, but that's what we need help with. >> the official landfall of the kata for a 4 irma, but big pine keys only a few miles away. the eye wall blew through this area. you can see the widespread destruction. virtually every house in this area is either destroyed or has significant, significant damage. as for electricity and power, right now in key west, total blackout, it's dead. the whole town closes down at 8:00 p.m., there's a curfew for potential looting. its blackness, but tony% of the island now has electricity restored. a lot of people in the keys, lower keys woke up with a cell service for the first time today, so the utility companies as well as the cell phone companies are making progress. they've been working down in the keys all week long. as for the rest of the state of florida, the entire state was
8:38 am
impacted heavily by hurricane irma. the east coast of florida who still don't have power should have it by sunday night and on the west coast, this is fort myers, naples, tampa bay area, if you don't have power yet, it's going to be another week. next friday should have it all back. another week of sweating it out in the hot floor to sun. back to you. >> leland: you and your crew, heather and chris also doing a great job down there. some power crews are sleeping in jails because it's the only place they could find beds during their tough work. we hope you have better accommodations. godspeed my friend. >> thanks. >> julie: some devastating stories emerging in the wake of hurricane harvey and armand. many people forced to evacuate without their beloved pets. american humane has been on the ground helping to reunite the animals with their owners and joining me now is dr. robin, ceo of american humane.
8:39 am
let's lane to our owners how dire the situation has been. >> first of all, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the path of irma and harvey. this has been utter devastation for so many families. we have to think about the animals. there are thousands and thousands of animals who have been separated from their families and our first responders had been in houston and now we are in florida. we are uniting these animals with their families. >> julie: there is 80,000 pounds of donated petfood to texas, now you're in florida. we want to thank you for that. so may people are watching at home who want to know, i live up north, not being affected by any of these tornadoes or hurricanes, how can i help? are there pets that are complete we abandon where the owners eventually don't pick them up, where do they go and could somebody up north adopt them? >> what's so important is we
8:40 am
want to allow it. of time for each of these animals to be reunited with their families. of course, these animals that do not find their human families, we want to help them find a safe forever loving home and that's what we work hard to do. first of all, reunite with their current families and of those families can take their pet back, we want to make sure they find a great home. >> julie: many of the pet owners were charged with animal cruelty for leaving their pets behind in the path of a deadly hurricane. are you seeing this in florida and louisiana as well? >> florida for sure. i saw so many times were there were animals changed to trees. i see the best of humanity with our first responders in the ground saving lives, putting their own lives at risk to save an animal's life and then i see the worst of humanity such as these pet owners who chained their dogs to trees in the path of a hurricane like irma. it's so heartbreaking.
8:41 am
when i think about this, i see the amazing first responders who are taking animals away from chains and giving them a chance to be sheltered, cared for. emergency medical care. >> julie: part of the problem is that there are a limited number of shelters that allow pets and really for health reasons because a lot of people may have allergies to them. in florida, a lot of people, those of shelters are closed, so families are given no choice between taking their kids or pets. in our story a moment ago, they're going to open for shelters. what is shelters that are full, what does families do? >> there helping transport animals that are in those shelters before the storm to other communities in south carolina and throw the southeast. we are hoping that those shelters can free up space so
8:42 am
the displaced pets have a chance to have a warm and safe place to go. we're working with communities to provide a safe space, shelter, and surly medical care that they so need. we're also going to need 250,000 meals for animals displaced in the path of irma so that's a lot of great food on the way shortly. our teams are still rescuing animals and boats. we'll be out in floodwaters this afternoon and tomorrow saving animals and communities that still have floodwaters. >> julie: americanhumane.org backslash harvey is where you can go. thank you so much for all your doing. >> leland: we talked about this a little bit with the admiral about north korea, but there has been a string of deadly accidents during military training exercises and there's been more just this week. first, fort bragg north carolina

>> leland: as senator john mccain pointed out, this is a disturbing trend. more deaths from military training accidents than from combat with the enemy and we're learning more about a deadly incident and fort bragg yesterday. the u.s. army special forces soldier died and seven others were injured just one day after a 15 marines hurt. that happened also during a training session. this time at camp pendleton and california. we've been doing some great reporting on this. lucas joins us live from the pentagon. hi lucas. >> hello leland. over the past three years, 185 american troops have been killed
8:47 am
in training accidents. let's four times more than have been killed in combat over that period. many over this summer counting this response from the chairman of this in an armed forces committee. >> perhaps the greatest harm to our national security and our military is self-inflicted. i repeat, self-inflicted. we are killing more of our own people in training then our enemies are in combat. >> just one day after mccain spoke, another tragedy. u.s. army special forces soldier was killed during demolition training at fort bragg north carolina. seven other special forces students and instructors were wounded. on tuesday, a soldier, was killed during helicopter training at fort hood texas. 15 marines were injured wednesday. if i remained in critical
8:48 am
condition, five others are in serious condition. it's been especially deadly lately. vince june, at least 42 u.s. service members have been killed and noncombat accidents including the two deadly warship collisions on the pacific, to marine corps plane crashes, and to army black hawk helicopter crashes. it's believed that u.s. troops are being asked to to much with too little with aging equipment. senator tom cotton wants to end the budget control act which gutted the military and one more thing, next week, congress votes on a full defense bill. >> leland: lucas, you point out, as not just the army that's had issues, it's the marines, air force with their planes, the naval as well, the marine navy eaters in the army as well. that we have the navy ship crashes to add to this list.
8:49 am
