north korea. kim jong-un going to continue developing his nuclear weapons program. he says his goal is establishing equilibrium with the united states. this comes one day after the rogue regime fired the latest missile over japan, can they be stopped? greg has more from seoul, south korea. >> new images and strong words coming from north korea. the state news agency putting out video that they say is the intermediate range ballistic missile which was launched friday morning local time here. if lives are 2300 miles into the pacific. that distance would put the us island territory of guam firmly in the missile's grasp. it was not pointed in that direction, lucky. said to be in attendance at the lodge, north korean leader, kim jong-un. he came up with some hefty quotes.
2:02 pm
he said according to the agency, north korea would proceed with quote - full speed to a complete nuclear force. then, the us would not dare to talk about a quote - military option. this comes at a time when the us is putting diplomatic and economic pressure on regional allies, folks of the wood to put pressure on north korea and again just friday, we heard from the trumpet ministration officials more about a possible military action. still, some here in seoul korea see possible openings with the new round of rhetoric from kim jong-un. the fact that he is talking about equilibrium with the us rather than destroying the us with the nuclear arsenal might be a good sign. also that he claims the country is near completion of a nuclear arsenal might mean that getting near to the negotiating table. according to one analyst, talking is the only way to get out of this crisis.>> we have to talk in people don't like to do this. they don't like to think about
2:03 pm
this but what has to happen is a senior american official or a trusted confidant to the president needs to get in the room with a senior north korean official or confidant of kim jong-un. until the toxic start, this process that we are watching is just going to go on and on. >> of course the problem with this is that the united states has negotiated with north korea and has gotten nowhere now according to experts we've been speaking to, they might not want to give up those nukes and in a runoff of any talk there would still be launching missiles and testing nuclear devices. real problems. >> and a fox news alert a massive manhunt underway after the london terror attack. in 18 oh suspect is now under arrest. as the investigation is growing. one day after a bomb ripped through a subway train during the morning rush hour. at least 30 people were injured. now the terror threat in the uk is being upgraded to critical. kitty logan is in london with

2:05 pm
police say that they are treating the claim with some skepticism while they continue to hunt for suspects. and with the terror threat level here raised to critical, they are now seeing more armed officers on the streets of london. try and deter a copycat attack. >> thank you. meanwhile, back at home the disturbances continue in the heartland. hundreds of people protesting in st. louis after the white former police officer was acquitted in the deadly 2011 shooting of a black man. dispose violent protests late last night that left at least 11 police officers injured and even the mayor's home was vandalized. we are live in st. louis with the latest. >> being proactive going into the area. businesses had hired professional services to come in and board up their
2:06 pm
businesses. there still open and even spray-painted up here they spray-painted logos but we spoke with the roofer who did this job and he said he has been going business to business today just like this one across the street. you can see that they say they're open as well. and he is working nonstop with concerns of what could play out tonight. throughout the day there have been marches at a number of malls throughout st. louis. this is on the heels of marches yesterday throughout downtown. marches went from miles surrounding the old courthouse. there were park rangers trying to protect the building. they had to go inside to stay with confrontation around the block a number of protesters jumped on top of a police suv. kicking in the windshield. as the sun went down we saw a number of american flags that burned the mayor's house, it was vandalized. -- american flags were burned. the mayor's house was vandalized. we are hearing from the officer

that was acquitted yesterday in the death of lamar smith. this is what he had to say. >> as far as how i feel right now, i'm obviously currently pleased that my verdict came down and it feels like a burden is lifted. but -- the burden of having to kill someone never really lifts. >> heading into the night, law enforcement so they will have a zero tolerance for vandalism or violence that could play out in st. louis. back to you. >> we will keep following up this evening. thank you. >> florida continues to make progress on restoring services. about one week after hurrican irma tour through the state. officials also allowing residents access all the way to key west. starting tomorrow morning, this is a huge deal. we are live in marathon florida in the florida keys with the
2:08 pm
latest on the recovery efforts. how is it looking? >> it is still a mess. marathon is an essential part of the keys. one of the hardest hit places by hurricane irma. to add insult to injury these people had their homes destroyed and authorities kept them away for about one week because they said it was just too dangerous.there is no electricity, no air conditioning, no sewer or running water. it is a deadly combination if they let folks back in. just a few hours ago, county officials finally opened a roadblock. allowing people back in to survey their property. all week long we were outraged, tired, exhausted people camping out saying please let us in so we can see our houses. authorities say if we let you back and you can potentially die. folks today are finally able to come back in and see some of the damage. a short while ago we spoke to a woman who surveyed her property. this is what she had to say. >> the worst i have ever seen
2:09 pm
was a category one.we were able to wash off plans and bring things back to life again. but this is destruction. at its finest. to see how the wires were hanging in everything. i think they did the right thing. >> just because folks are here now does not mean it is okay peer there is no power, there is no electricity. it is miserable for people that want to be here and there is no functioning hospital either. it is just downright dangerous still in marathon florida right now. back to you. >> thank you. still much work still to be done. >> that's for sure. meanwhile on the hills of hurrican irma we are keeping a close eye on hurricane josc. moving closer to the east coast. thankfully forecasters said that the storm is expected to stay off land for now. and it would be a real relief. passing far east of the north carolina coast on monday and then staying offshore from virginia right after new england. north carolina's outer banks

2:16 pm
>> is only could have been. it was intention to make this a mask casual attack. this is a significant change from the vehicular and stabbing ataxia seen in london throughout the year. these have all been crude except for the suicide bombing. of course up until now, this was an attempt i think, to really try and take out a couple dozen people. it was a crude device. the good news here is that investigators can now take a look the parts, they can try to determine where the parts came from. they can try to determine exactly how the seller individuals learn how to assemble the device. and of course they have all of the cctv and other evidence out there where they can go after and track these people or this person. >> the terror threat level in the uk has been raised to critical. it is the highest level there is meaning that there is an attack that is imminent. this happened only four times since 2006 that they have this level. so how should people living in the uk be prepared at this point? >> well, look, i think it is
2:17 pm
inadvisable for people to stay home and not want to go outside. the police and authorities are doing everything they can right now to track what they believe is probably a cell or at least an individual or two that are still at large. and you may be planning another attack. but at the end of the day there is very little that the public can do other than to hone in on suspicious behavior and get out of the way went officials start to go home as they did this morning in london. they did that this morning where they apparently evacuated about and a half block to go into an elderly couple's home that apparently had been foster parents to children who have been foster parents of one of the suspects. >> i want to circle back to something you said about the planning and time it takes to pull off such an attack.this was not a crime of opportunity. the suspect has a formula, they had to get material, take the time to build this and she is a trained to detonate this.
2:18 pm
we do not like to think of someone along the way might have seen something or to say something but it is not always the case. how to be get there? >> i think what we need to do is figure out where this person came from, figure out their neighborhood, then try to track back and figure out whether or not this person walked into a hardware store, electronics store to purchase some items. talk to the likely owners of those stores and in a certain radius. then work backwards peer the other thing of course is forensics on the internet to try and determine what sorts of sites the suspects were visiting, looking at ip addresses etc. trying to figure out what were they looking at to get the instructions to put together this crude device? >> the suspect in this case is just 18 years old. how likely is it that he self radicalized? a lot of people are looking at that. how likely is it?
2:19 pm
>> it is impossible to know whether this individual that they arrested was the key suspect. all we know is that he was in dover which is right by the english channel. it would look that he was on his way to france or perhaps belgium or the netherlands. and he was trying to flee the country. beyond that, we simply do not know what kind of involvement he had in this attack.whether he was just part of a broader network of people who are suspected or the person that may have actually tried to detonate this. really, we are not getting a lot of british authorities, we are not getting up from the police. and i think they have actually asked journalists to try to not activate on even who this person might have been because they are still trying to wrap up the broader cell it appears. >> ices did claim responsibility. whether they did or not, i want to get your take on that portion of the story because it is so important for us to
2:20 pm
understand. they're losing ground in syria and iraq. how, looking at what is happening in the uk and now them taken responsibility for this. what is your take on that portion? >> first of all i mean ices will probably take responsibility for just about any attack around the world. but it does raise the question of how ices may be morphing. in other words, as a move territory in syria and iraq, might be looking at the sort of al qaeda transit in other words it is evolving into another threat that could have diffused cells. -- it is not the end of the night for crisis. looks like another battle may just beginning. >> as we keep a close eye on what is happening in the uk, the terror level threat increasing. >> the opioid epidemic has devastated so many.coming up,
2:21 pm
we wishing the customs and border protection officials, what they are doing about it at one of the largest airports had a very exclusive. we will go behind the scenes and look at the operation at a place that you may not expect. plus, the tragedy in florida. the nursing home or eight senior citizens died in the aftermath of hurricane irma. how could this happen? they pointed fingers of florida's governor.what happens, why was that not dealt with? we will ask one of the congresswomen. and then my friend, sheila, right as i was stepping into the tee box mentioned a tip a pro gave her. no. yep. did it help? it completely ruined my game. well, the truth is, that advice was never meant for you. i like you. you want to show me your swing? it's too soon. get advice that's right for you. investment management services from td ameritrade.

2:26 pm
conditioning system and it caused outrage and anger that the depths were not so easily prevented. the nursing home claims that the governor rick scott ignored the distress calls. this is pam bondi. >> the agency for healthcare administration, they're looking at all of the nursing homes currently after the hurricane, my unit reached out to them and we have been practically i think over 200, we had visited looking at them, no miami police officers during the hurricane were trying to get in as many as possible bringing in water and making sure everyone was okay. but there is no excuse for this. >> a horrible situation for june is now we have the florida congresswomen iliana -- it is such a turbocharging. they died of respiratory arrest and dehydration. i mean can you frankly comprehend why apparently not enough was done? >> it is incomprehensible. it is a tragic and preventable. and it was preventable, it just
2:27 pm
adds to the tragic. these are senior citizens living in a facility that is designed to take care of them! that is the job, the one responsibility that they have. now there is a lot of finger-pointing eric of the nursing home, they say this date of people did not act, utility company, did not react. they're now blaming the governor but although there are differing accounts about who called what and what they reported as needing help, the fact is, people died. and here is some interesting facts. there was a hospital right across the street from this nursing home. what did the nursing home do? they went to the hospital to get spot coolers. they got a few spot coolers and where did they go? to the nursing home? no. to a much smaller unit that had a psychiatric ward. and yet, the old people were left there sweltering.
2:28 pm
on monday florida power and light so that they were coming, they did not come. today they said they were going to the nursing home, they did not come. on wednesday, by the time the florida power and light got to the facility, it was already too late. the center had been evacuated and eight people were dead. now, the governor has finally acted as well he should have. we wish the regulations had been in place before but now, every assisted-living facility and every nursing home will have to have a generator, enough power, enough fuel to keep the center at a comfortable temperature. for at least 96 hours. >> you would have thought they had it in the first place. apparently they had a generator according to reports. but not one for the air conditioner. the nursing home also said he left a phone call messages on the governor's personal cell phone. he gave out that in a conference call to officials. the state is pushing back
2:29 pm
saying that -- had this possibly pull through the tracks?they are reaching out for the help of the same time? if they are not taking their patients across the street to the hospital. >> absolute, the call to 911, to place a call at 3 am, 4 am, 5:00 a.m. . already by the third call, the dispatcher was so concerned that they said, search the entire facility and that is where they found individuals who had actually died. it is just so graphic to explain the way the manner in which these poor old people were treated. the center, although they will be a criminal investigation all levels, the center did the least amount that they could do to cya. that is what they were doing. >> do think there's a possibility that they're not telling the truth? because estate says that there is an online system that they had 17 reports.
2:30 pm
that they reported things that had been made at variance with what was going on inside the building. >> the problem is, what it is that they reported. they might have reported that they lacked air conditioning. when you are talking about a nursing home with over 100 elderly residents, it is more. it requires more than my husband and i don't have air conditioning or water in our home. but it does not require us to call frantically and say that we have got to evacuate. a nursing home, those administrators had a higher calling, a higher sense of responsibility that they did not heed. -- then administrators, seeing what was unfolding. >> those administrators, just common sense would tell you that the nursing home was not protecting their patients. perhaps they were worried about if we transfer all of these individuals to the hospital, we will have to pay for their care. yes, and you also have to save
2:31 pm
their lives. isn't that worth it? now they are going to be in a world of legal trouble. there could be charges filed as well there should be. this is an ongoing investigation. for what it looks like, it was a disaster in the making. with these new regulations we hope that this situation will never, never happen again. >> let me review what the emergency action is in the government as far as rules. they inspect generators within 15 days of installation. you would think of that generators that would work your local emergency management officials must approve residential officials emergency plans. you would think that nobody had prepared local emergency management agencies must first plan the website. you think they would do that. facilities must submit proof of compliance within 48 hours. the thing that gets me is when you have a loved one, you know in a home, you trust these
2:32 pm
people.you certainly hope that and trust that they are being properly cared for.to have a shot like this when they're in a facility is just beyond imagination.>> it is reprehensible. it is criminal! that is why hospitals have had these regulations and now for the first time through emergency rules, assisted living facilities and nursing homes will have it. but remember, there are generators and then there are generators for some generators will just cover a refrigerator. these rules say that it should be generators enough with enough power to make it a comfortable living temperature. you can buy generator that will just pool a little closet whirlpool -- or to pool a little that will not keep people alive. they have to be operational. >> i think the state law would say that air conditioning needs to keep on. this is what the governor had tweeted this afternoon.
2:33 pm
i am outraged over the deaths at the rehabilitation center in hollywood hills. we must understand the decision to keep patients in danger.in other words we must investigate that. he also says, as any health provider knows to do if their patients are in danger, they must called 911. so finally, it comes you will be retiring at the end of this term. you represented the 27th district just below miami. you are on the coast. how are you and your district doing? when you think you'll be able to get back on your feet completely? >> look, we cannot complain. my husband and i cannot complain. our friends might be getting a little tired of us because we go there to sleep and take a shower. soon we will have power. everybody has got to be patient. let's take care of the vulnerable individuals in our community. so many seniors are living alone and there are so many opportunities to help. i hope that everybody does their part and make our community a better place.
2:34 pm
we will soon have power i am sure of it. tuesday is now the target date. but we are fine. let's take care of the elderly and the vulnerable among us. >> absolutely, take care of the seniors. absolutely, the older generation. thank you. it is such a tragedy and utterly unforgivable. >> criminal! >> thank you so much. >> president trump is on his golf club in new jersey this weekend as he prepares for a high-stakes address at his first united nations general assembly. this, as north korea sends it latest ballistic missile test yesterday. it has brought it one step closer to its goal of military equilibrium with the us. kristin fisher is live in somerset new jersey with the very latest. >> i want to give you something that just popped up in the last hour. the trump administration is really pushing back on a report in the wall street journal which claimed that the trump
2:35 pm
administration will not withdraw from the powers climate accord after all. a white house official said in a statement quote - there's been no change in the us position on paris agreement. the president has made it abundantly clear that we are withdrawing unless we have terms that are more favorable to our country. it is very similar to what the president said in the rose garden press conference where he announced that the us would be withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. he said he would be open to perhaps reentering it at some point in the future if he was able to get a better deal for the us. but so far, that has not happened. it does not seem like a lot has changed here but keep in mind, this has been a major source of friction between the united states and countries all over the world. a lot of leaders will be in new york city next week with the president for the un general assembly. the president landed here in new jersey yesterday afternoon. he is expected to be spending a
2:36 pm
lot of this weekend preparing for all of the meetings next week with world leaders and the big speech that he is going to be delivering on tuesday. his first address to the un general assembly. we can expect to hear three goals in the speech. his inspector to promote peace and prosperity and how important it is to uphold serenity and accountability. but north korea is going to dominate the agenda after the recent nuclear test and recent missile launches. member, the un has already responded by slapping severe sanctions on pyongyang. yesterday the us ambassador to the un said it will still take a little bit of time for the full impact of the sanctions to be felt but aside from that, she says that there is not all that much more that the un security council can do. >> there is not a whole lot the security council will be able to do from here. when you cut 90 percent of trade and 30 percent of the oil.so having said that, i have no problem taking it to
2:37 pm
general james mattis. request for those commenting about a lack of military option, is a military option. it is not what we prefer to do. what we have to do is call on all nations. call on everyone to do everything we can to address this global problem short of war. >> at the briefing, they were also asked what is different now? he responds it was different now is that we are out of time, we are out of road to continue kicking the can down. that is with different now according to the national security advisor, hr mcmaster. >> thank you. indeed a big week ahead for the president. thank you. >> the oakland epidemic in america has put a spotlight on efforts to intercept illegal drugs coming into the country. i got a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the main points of entry, a massive warehouse
2:38 pm
at new york's kennedy airport where multilayered efforts are underway. >> using drug sniffing dogs, x-rays and handhelds laser deep detectors, u.s. customs and border protection officers are working the front lines at jfk international mail facility where 60 percent of the nations mail arrives to stop illegal drugs from entering the country. richard acting white house drug guard says the focus is on opioids. >> the number one drug killing americans is fentanyl. fentanyl is coming through the mail and in lots of small packages. >> latest figures show more than 33,000 people died from drug overdoses in the us involving opioids in 2015. agents at jfk find drugs hidden in a variety of ways. every day! >> we just found a package that contains gbl which is a date rape drug. and so far the package that they include things like sponges to make us think that it is actual turtle wax, car
2:39 pm
washing equipment. >> fentanyl also provide and conceal packages. coming primarily from hong kong and china. screening is a challenge now with updated technology, the fight to stop fentanyl and other opioids from coming into the us is improving. over 100,000 pounds of narcotics are seized each year at jfk international mail facility. once the substance like fentanyl is identified as hazardous is brought here to the detention room where it is sent to a lab and tested. once confirmed, that is when the investigation begins. one of the biggest legal hurdles is the lack of tracking information international senders which is still not required.by legislation demanding more data has been introduced the director continues to work with peers overseas to find those trying to cheat the system. >> we cannot stand still, the sorting problem is so huge that we need better quality data earlier. the message is clearly that we
2:40 pm
are working with all of our partners to combat this threat and we will find you, we will eventually get to you and bring you to justice. >> this is really dangerous work. fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than morphine injecting just a few granules can kill you. you learned that they have -- >> it is incredible that they just mail this! >> yes and a lot of it gets through but of course they are working very hard working with international partners to fight this. >> good work by law enforcement.a great report. >> thank you. quite the president has been holding meetings with democrats on immigration overhaul. coming up, we will take how that can affect his base as republican lawmakers kind of

appear in limbo. home. she thinks she's the boss. she only had me by one grade. we bought our first home together in 2010. his family had used another insurance product but i was like well i've had usaa for a while, why don't we call and check the rates? it was an instant savings and i should've changed a long time ago. there's no point in looking elsewhere really. we're the tenneys and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today. >> president trump preparing to

2:44 pm
2:45 pm
reassure his base that he is still with them. after a second meeting with democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi this week. while chuck and nancy as he now calls them, says they reached an agreement with the president on the obama era daca immigration policy that included funding but not the wall. the president said that's not the case. >> he likes us, he lets me anyway. here is what i told him i said no -- [inaudible] >> sa the president tweeted quote with the ridiculous filibuster rule in the senate
2:46 pm
republicans did 60 votes to pass legislation rather than 51. can't get votes and now,! jeff mason is the white house correspondent for reuters. always good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> in your view does the present work with the democrats and put republican leadership on the ropes? everyone always does both sides need to work together to get things done after all. >> i think a present and a tough position. he had the dinner with senator schumer and with leader pelosi. then they came out and talked about a deal at the president that had to go, and say actually we did not have a deal and the republicans, paul ryan and mitch mcconnell had to say, we look forward to seeing what the details are and paul ryan is saying, we have course will not try to do something that the president does not support. so it is tough. not the republicans who are there in the room making the

deal it is the democrats and the democrats are the minority. >> right. overall, what does this mean for passing daca legislation? let's talk about that. these people that are quite literally waiting on the sidelines to see how this is all going to shake out before the six-month deadline.>> that's a good question. there been mixed signals from the president about it. of course, he started off with the signal from the attorney general ending the daca executive order program that had been started under the president obama. then this week, president trump said very clearly and compassionately on twitter that does anyone really want to throw out people who were brought to the country as children? many of them are working and some of whom are serving in the military. clearly, it shows again, the debate that he has had internally about daca. and the fact that he talks about it apparently agreed with democrats to support daca legislation as long as there is also increase border security included.

it is a sign that it is something that he really wants. i have heard from my own reporting that he and others in the white house are reaching out to republicans now about that as well. >> seems to be settling into this. getting back to the relationship with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. he is being called amnesty don. things like that don't usually go to well with him to think about that? >> absolutely not i'm sure he was not pleased to see that nickname, it is not something he would want to be called at all. it is not wholly portrays himself as a presidential candidate. that is when he came out started tweeting, the democrats have to support a wall as well. we're still going to build the wall. emphasizing that the wall is already being built because of enhancements been done to border fences and border security right now.but it is definitely a sign that he needed to come out there in

compliment nuclear force and then, the u.s. would not dare to talk about a"military option." this all comes at a time when the u.s. is putting diplomatic and economic pressure on regional allies, folks at the sun to put pressure on north korea and again just friday, we heard from trump administration officials more about a possible military action. still, some here in seoul see possible openings in his new round of rhetoric from kim jong-un. the fact he's talking about equilibrium with the u.s. rather than destroying the u.s. with a nuclear arsenal might be a good sign and also that he claims that the country is near completion of a nuclear arsenal might mean they're getting near to the negotiating table and according to one analyst talking is the only way to get out of this crisis. >> we've got to talk and people don't like to do this, don't like to think about this, but what has to happen is a senior american official, or a trusted confidant of president trump

3:06 pm
this is keener plaza in st. louis and we've got about a hundred 200 people here and they haven't gotten started with the first of the demonstrations through the day and i should correct myself because they were out marching earlier today, about two to 300 people out marching and they shutdown one of the malls and made their presence known and if all they do is make their presence known that's what the local leaders are hoping for. people have the right to the first amendment and they want to protect that right to the first amendment but yesterday, they did cross the line rather early in the game, about 5 p.m., they jumped up on a police cruiser, smashed out the windshield, rocked thrown, bottles thrown at police officers, police respond ed with pepper spray. at that particular time there were about 13 arrests later in the evening we saw them breaking bricks and throwing those at the police officers. we no one female police officer had her jaw broken by a brick and meantime we're hearing from jason stockley, the former police officer at the heart of the case and he says he never meant to letter anyone.
3:07 pm
i can tell you with absolute certainly think there was no plan to murder anthony smith during a high speed vehicle pursuit. it's just not the case. >> reporter: and now, we're watching the scene. police have great anticipation to see how the evening will pan out. we're not seeing their presence at this demonstration and that's kind of a trend. they're backing off so as to not have friction with the demonstrators. they are expecting large numbers they are expecting a lot of emotion in the crowd, but they're hoping not to have conflicts until these demonstrations cross the line. will they cross the line? how big will the demonstrations get tonight? that's really the question to be answered but there's not a lot of information that outsiders are coming here to agitate at this stage. laura? >> mike tobin, stay safe, my goodness somebody having their jaw broken with a brick is significant. we'll look forward to your next report, thank you. >> and in florida they're making progress authorities reopening the key city of marathon today. that just about a week after

3:09 pm
just too dangerous. we saw those deaths at that nursing home in hollywood, florida. well authorities here say look, that could have happened here if we let people back in because there's no running water, no electricity so imagine the anxiety of these people knowing that a hurricane blew through their property and they're being kept from it and now several hours ago finally police let people back into this area. we just spoke to a gentleman who surveyed his property. here is what he had to say. >> that was the worst part because we've never been kept out before. we always immediately come right back, one or two days and we were back, so you know it was always good, but there's a lot of loss unfortunately, we lost like my house, normally we can get it all out but i understand why they're doing it. you can see the progress they're making and the reasons why but i do understand. it was tough. we lost a lot more than we probably should have. >> reporter: we picked up a friend, a moment of levity. this very large lizard they're probably hungry and looking for food and people who decided to

3:16 pm
clinton and those e-mails what are the chances you think of that? >> i think be're not totally insignificant. there's a lot of clammering among republicans on capitol hill for some type of investigation. i think there's less of an appetite among republicans on capitol hill than there was six months ago to explore these hillary clinton issues. they're not going to get any sign off from democrats to do this but i think the question surrounding hillary clinton are not over in terms of capitol hill and i know in both the house and the senate side, republicans have a couple issues that they're going to keep circling back to and i think especially if things heat up on the russia side related to president trump you'll see republicans pushing back and muddy the water by also talking about hillary clinton. >> i guess they have the hillary clinton issue in their back pocket you talk about the russian investigation. what are these subpoenas about you got two former officials james rebekki'm and carl gathis.
3:17 pm
how are they allegedly involved in this? >> so these two guys remember jim comey kept all these notes after he met with president trump and he talked to his advisors meetly after the meetings with the president to talk about his version of the e rents so these two guys know a lot about what jim comey was saying in the leadup to when he was fired. they could corroborate in comey 's con con contemporaneous memos. the justice department doesn't want to make these two guys available to congress. they don't need to talk with congress but the judiciary committee has oversight of the justice department, and in the constitution, it's not, there's no mention of the special council. there is a mention of congress doing its oversight and doing its due diligence so there's a lot of frustration these two guys won't appear including among republican senator chuck grassley, from iowa who said this week if they aren't going
3:18 pm
to cooperate we're going to subpoena them and force them to come testify whether they want to or not. what would that mean if senator grassley did that? could they sit there and clam up not that they did anything wrong they really can't. they can't. because they can't take the fifth amendment. the fifth amendment you could only not cooperate if you're going to so you don't self- incriminate. neither of these guys and they're not accused of doing anything wrong. they just have knowledge about whether president trump potentially obstructed justice in the way that he fired jim comey. you know they don't know in president trump's head they weren't there but they know pieces they could corroborate parts of jim comey's story that the president has denied. that said, it's not like just because they get subpoenaed doesn't mean they have to be fully cooperative. they could be forced to appear and still say i don't recall or i'm not going to talk about that or that's privileged communication, so just the very act of issuing a subpoena doesn't mean all of a sudden they become open book.
3:19 pm
is there any evidence we know of so far they had any direct contact with the president directly? and everything in other words everything they would testify to is secondhand through comey? >> everything they would testify to is secondhand, about what was going on in the fbi. it's not about any conversations they might have had with the president. the other person that we're talking about we're hearing about being subpoenaed is paul m anafort, and in july, the senate judiciary committee actually issued a subpoena to him but they withdrew it a few hours later when he said he would cooperate and the very next day agents related to his home related to the mueller probe and all of a sudden mana fort's lawyers stopped returning the senate's calls even though they had a deal for him to come testify so grassley saying we're going to subpoena manafort to get him back to our committee. >> if he does that, i mean, would he potentially take the fifth or could that trip up the mueller investigation? >> so there's a lot of things that the senate can do, and you know, in theory they could issue
3:20 pm
immunity. they're not going to. the judiciary committee is negotiating and working with mueller so that they can kind of deconflict their various investigations. there's also the senate intelligence committee's investigation that's going on. you totally could see a scenario where manafort would plead the fifth and not be fully forthcoming and we know that mueller's being pretty aggressive with manafort. we don't know what he might be able to offer in terms of some kind of deal that could come down the road in which he shares what he knows about potential russia coordination with the campaign. >> and finally, there's that ted bit from the washington times that the mueller folks, they've hired prosecutors who specialize in money laundering. apparently with trump associates is the report. what do you see these crumbs leading to and what they're looking at? >> mueller is going to turn over every rock and he's going to talk to all these people. he's also going, you know looking at michael flynn closely
3:21 pm
we learned this week he's looking at michael flynn the former national security advisor 's son as well, and a lot of these things don't have anything to do directly with russia, but the people who might have done something wrong could know something and so the money laundering aspect also ties into potential relationships with people who were in trump's circle and the russians over the years, and so i think mueller's casting a pretty wide net and he's going to see where the crumbs lead him. it's ongoing, we'll see what the crumbs i'm going to use a bad met a for about making the bread but i won't. maybe nothing you know? thank you. my pleasure. >> laura? >> in the wake of tropical storm harvey three churches in texas suing fema. the federal emergency management agency over its policy that houses of worship cannot receive funding from the agency's public assistance program. lauren green has those details.

first responders on the ground who are still there once the government leaves, doesn't it seem weird that the government is discriminating against them in this instance? >> president trump seems to agree. he tweeted churches in texas should be entitled to reimbursement from fema relief funds for helping victims of hurricane harvey just like others. but the mall is not clear, says new york university law professor burt newborn . the churches are basing their case on the recent supreme court decision granting trinity luthran church public funds to make its playground safer, but in that case, as newborn, the funds were used for secular purposes, repairing a sanctuary is not the same. >> the question is can they get the money and rebuild their worship facilities? because then, the money would be going to help worship, not to help people from not getting skinned knees on a playground or being able to get food at a food bank. the attorney for the churches says fema could change its policy today if it wanted to. meanwhile, we reached out to

pull out of the paris climate accord and within the last few hours the wall street journal has come out with a report that claims the tumultuous administration will not withdraw from the paris climate accord after all. well, the white house is now pushing back on that report by saying "there has been no change in the u.s. position on the paris agreement as the president has made abundant auntly clear the u.s. is withdrawing unless we can reenter on terms that are more favorable to our country." so the white house really saying there's not a lot of change here they believe that from the very beginning when president trump first announced that the u.s. would be withdrawing from the paris climate accord, he said that he might be opening, he might be open to reentering the agreement at some point in the future if he was able to cut a better deal for the united states. so far that has not happened but according to this wall street journal report, it appears that even more so than before that the trump administration might be willing to reenter if again

in the test nobody grabs their belongings, everybody files out very orderly so i think there's some concern there but i still think the faa has done a very good job of looking at what is the best thing we can do to make our aircraft safer and they've done a lot of work in making sure the seats stay secure when you are in a crash. they've improved the lighting so if the cabin fills up with smoke , you can see your way out. they worked on the seats to make sure they don't sue any kind of toxic foams so i think we're kind of way ahead from making aviation as safe as we could be but when you're sitting in that plane it does feel very very claustrophobic. >> laura: well i want to go back to you about how aircraft manufactures check to make sure there's enough room. faa requirements outline the airlines have to show they can completely evacuate a full airliner in 90 seconds. you mentioned those tests you mentioned they are scripted. where are these tests done and whose in charge of them? >> they're done by the manufacturer and they're done by the carrier as well, and the
3:35 pm
test is that you basically block half the exits and then everybody has to file off within 90 seconds. occasionally they will do an entire aircraft but the laws of the faa will allow them to do a section of the aircraft and multiply that out so they don't have to do the whole plane. >> laura: okay well i was looking at some of the stats here. the measurements between rows is usually about between 31 and 35 inches in most cases 28 inches in others. is that enough room for people to get out quickly? >> you know, according to the faa yes, and but when you're pulling your bag down or you've got somebody in front of you that sure doesn't feel like it's enough room. >> laura: right i think one of the overall things i'm taking away from our conversation here is to be a little bit more cool about taking my bag on the plane maybe i should check it. maybe i should take that extra time. you know, to ensure safety especially when i'm traveling for some of us the parents out there traveling with your young
3:36 pm
ones. the court overseeing this case is giving the faa until the end of the year to handle this to deal with it december 28 to be exact. that's of course right in the middle of the busy holiday travel season so how do you see this playing out? >> i would assume the faa will go out to manufactures, go out to the carriers and say can we have some of your test data that we can share and we'll show our own test data and that should satisfy the courts but again, i don't think we're going to see any major modifications. i mean, you saw a couple of the carriers recently they were thinking of actually even shrink ing it even more but the public backlash was so much that they said no, maybe this isn't such a good idea. but there are some things there. you can't get out safely but again it's that human factor that's involved is am i going to be sitting next to the large guy next to me and is that woman going to be trying to grab her purse as i'm trying to get off his aircraft as fast as i can. >> laura: important notes to make scott brenner, thank you so much for being with us today.
3:37 pm
thank you. >> laura: we'll continue to monitor the situation. see you soon. as long as they don't have us stand up and hold on to a strap like the subway. >> laura: good point. >> well, coming up north korea, they continue almost unabated more nuclear and missile tests despite the new un sanctions. coming up how should the united nations handle kim jong-un and what can we expect from president trump's first address of the un general assembly next tuesday. what he may say how the diplomat s could react, that straight ahead.

united nation's security council resolution. you know they passed since 2006 nine resolutions calling on him to stop and to try and curtail north korea's nuclear program. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley says the security council well it can't do much more. we basically taken and in the words of north korea strangled their economic situation at this point . that's going to take a little bit of time but it has already started to take effect. what we are seeing is they continue to be pro vocative, they continue to be wreckless and at that point, there's not a whole lot the security council is going to be able to do from here when you cut 90% of the trade and 30% of the oil. >> eric: president trump will address this during his un speech tuesday and with us now is jonathan watell, former spokesperson for ambassador nikki haley. he's also former fox news un bureau chief and my partner in reporting so many of
3:43 pm
investigations at the un over the last decade and a deer deer friend my friend good to see you this side of the camera. we covered together i think three presidents addressing the united nations general assembly through the years. how do you think president trump will stack up what do you think he was going to give it to him? >> reporter: i think he's going to be very tough. you mentioned we've covered three presidents with some of the presidents probably have double terms that's how long you and i have been covering the un, which is a remarkable thing to think about. yes, i think and i think he would probably share this opinion that president trump's speech is probably the most interesting of the bunch, not anything to say about the other presidents who gave remarkable speeches, but this is really quite an interesting speech we're all bracing for it. >> eric: the speech is written but he's a bit unfiltered at the same time. he's been very critical of the u n in the past and he's called on cutting budget being more responsible beings being more pro acapulco they've saying it should do more and establish
3:44 pm
what it was founded for. >> reporter: yeah, and one of the interesting aspects here is that president trump is coming in with a completely almost contrarian view to what president obama was saying that president obama was this multi- lateral individual, believed in the united nations, that you could resolve a lot of conflicts around the world through the united nations and here is president trump who actually believes very strongly maintaining u.s. sovreignty, making sure that yes you can use the united nations as a place in which you can engage on some of the geo-political problems of our time but not necessarily the plus that you can resolve issues >> eric: well the administration does believe it can carry out the humanitarian missions correctly for example, even though they've trimmed back the peace keeping missions and at the same time does he have a point? look at north korea with nine resolutions as you pointed out and yet kim jong-un continues un filtered. >> the sound bite you use from nikki haley pretty much summed it up. now we've got very robust
3:45 pm
sanctions imposed on north korea but he's still active, still defying the international security. >> eric: can a security council actually reign him in, do you think that's even possible because you have russia and china generally protecting kim jong-un? you pretty much summed it up. it could if you had these other countries stepping up and doing what needs to happen and following through are with the letter of what is written in the resolutions but they're not. it's russia and china obviously in the focus but other countries have actually been having trade deals with the north koreans and the north koreans have been selling weapons on the black market in un resolutions making a lot of money through that means as well. >> eric: in order to get something past they had to water it down in terms of the oil 30% not 100% or 90 from per. >> that's right which opens up the thought that you still have some room for negotiation i
3:46 pm
suppose you could try additional resolutions but as long as you have this in which the north koreans are still able to get funds from other sources, you know it doesn't matter what's on paper. it really matters what the outcome is going to be. >> eric: finally it's fascinating to see president trump at the united nations as a new yorker. a few years ago we reported on a story and interviewed him about the un renovation and here is a little chip of some of the things he said about the un in the past few years. >> president trump: the unite united nations is not a friend of democracy. it's not a friend of freedom. it's not a friend even to the united states of america: >> president trump: it's total insanity. it is either the most corrupt thing going on in the world which is saying something or it's one of the most incompetent things i've ever seen. >> eric: there he is. he says it's total insanity. is he going to get up there and say ladies and gentlemen of the world you guys are just like totally, you don't solve the problems, this is your

responsibility, and by the way it's radical islamic terrorism? >> you know i have to tell you eric, i don't think donald trump is the only person whose been frustrate by the un in terms of an organization being able to fulfill its mandate to keep the world secure and safe and all that, so it's not surprising that you have some remarks like that. i don't anticipate that in his speech he will deviate into sound bites like we just heard but you know, he will be critical. he will call for reform and as you know, on monday, he is hosting together with the secretary general and nikki haley is hosting a meeting of over 120, over 100 countries on un reform so he's engaging, he's trying but he understands the limitations of the organization and the need for overhauling. >> eric: it should be quite a fascinating week and of course after the president's speech on tuesday they have the lunch with the secretary general where they raise a champaign glass in the dining room and at least temporarily the world comes

>> laura: well you could call it reaching out to the grassroots. did you see? president trump inviting an 11 year old from virginia to the white house after the boy wrote to the president offering to help cut the lawn. frank says he admires the president's business skills as he already is running his own lawn care business. frank explaining to fox & friends earlier why he kept mow ing the grass on the rose garden lawn when the president walked up. >> i knew that he was very impressed and i thought he went to go with me so i kept mowing, but he gave me a couple comments , so it was actually pretty cool when he came up. >> laura: how much do you love that kid? besides his love for lawn care frank says he hopes to one day

become a never it seal, so our best to frank. he only charges $8 to mow a lawn but he waived his fee for the white house, eric? >> eric: $8. >> laura: not bad. >> eric: good job, frank. well there's also a victory for sanctuary cities and their legal battle with the trump administration this week. the federal judge in chicago has blocked the justice department from denying public safety grant s two so-called sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal immigration agents. this comes as california's legislature has voted to aprove a sanctuary state bill, ellison barber has more and all of this from our washington bureau. >> reporter: a small victory for critics of this administration stands on sanctuary cities after a federal judge ruled friday attorney general jeff sessions cannot withhold public safety grant money. chicago sued the department of justice claiming sessions over stepped his authority when he issued a new set of rules for
3:54 pm
a justice department grant that's meant to help local and state law enforcement. the new rules said if the city or state wants the money, they have to let federal immigration agents access detention facilities and give them 48 hours notice before releasing someone suspected of being in the country illegally. the ruling in chicago temporarily stops that and it applies to the entire country. chicago is not the only place pushing back. california lawmakers passed legislation this morning that limits cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities. i think it shows that we're going to protect our immigrant communities. we're going to make sure that it's clear that they're safe, that they can work with less and not fear deportation. >> reporter: the bill specifically prohibits state and local police from using resources, money or people to investigate, interrogate, detain , detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement, unless a person has a felony record federal
3:55 pm
immigration agents won't have access to that. >> it sends a very clear message to the trump administration that in california we value inclusive it and value diversity. >> the only thing this bill provides a sanctuary for is dangerous criminals. >> reporter: after the ruling in chicago a spokesperson for the department of justice told fox news doj will defend lawful and reasonable grant conditions that seek to protect communities. eric? >> eric: el eson thanks so much, laura? >> laura: the world's biggest beer festival just getting underway, how big you ask? well, they expect millions of people to come from around the world. yes millions, a lot of suddens. we'll take you there, next. let's dance grandma! you don't let anything keep you sidelined. come on! that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... for the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you.
