our priority with the vietnamese is to get to that small subset. it's down to 25. not necessarily prisoners of war but last known alive at the time that they were seen. >> last question. >> real quick. of the remains and the 55 boxes, can we confirm for a fact that all of them are human remains or are we still questioning that? >> yes, we did a cursory inspection of the remains before we loaded them on the aircraft to ensure that at least some of what was in each box was human. when we got to south korea, we spent two days going through every box in detail conducts what we call a field forensic review. the purpose of that review is to ensure that every item is consistent with being human. if there were animal remains, we would have culled them out.

we did not find any animal remains. >> do we have any idea of how many people we're looking at yet? >> no, we don't. there is scientific process to estimate that. i wish it were very fast. a lot of people would like to know. the families would love to know that information. but unfortunately it's going to take months of analysis to start to get a refined estimates. >> one last question. do you have a timeline for bringing back more remains? can you character ize what it's been like to work with the north koreans on this topic? have they been working with you in good faith in every step of the way? >> okay. the first question, we're in the process of planning next steps. we don't have any timeline today for bringing back more remaining. we're hopeful that we'll be in the not too distant future.

i worked there in the past in the 1996 to 2005 years. i spent a lot of time in the field there. then i went in with our team on july 27. there was a very different feel to it this time. it was a much more friendly, welcoming and collegial approach this time compared to the way it used to be. >> thanks, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> thank you, director. looking ahead to next week, ambassador bolton will meet with officials in israel and ukraine as well as with his russian counterpart in geneva as a follow up to the helsinki summit. lastly, we extend our prayers to those that lost their lives in

the bridge collapse in italy as well as the victims of the attack in london. the president condemns this attack on innocent civilians and stands ready to provide assistance to the united kingdom. with that, i'm take your questions. >> we heard from the president via twitter on omarosa describing her as crazed, crying low life, a dog. is this anyway for a president to talk about any american let alone somebody that he hired and made the highest ranking african american woman in his white house? >> i think the president is certainly voicing his frustration with the fact that this person has shown a complete lack of integrity, particularly by the actions following her time here at the white house. >> why did he hire her? he described her as a dog -- >> the president wanted to give her a chance and he made clear when general kelly came on and he voiced concerns that this individual didn't have the best interests of the white house and

the president and the country at heart, the president said do what you can to get along. if you can't, he gave him full authority to carry out the decision to let her go. >> what is the strategy in continuing to respond to the charges? why doesn't he just ignore it? >> i think he's made, again, the frustrations -- i think all -- not only those of us here in the white house, but frankly most of america would be happy to ignore it. unfortunately the individuals in this room continue to create a large platform for somebody they know not to have a lot of credibility for someone that they refuse to give a platform to when they worked here at the white house. it wasn't until this individual started to negatively attack this president and this administration and try to tear this entire place down that she received the type of platform and roll-out that she's getting. i think it would be great if every person in this room and every person in the administration never had to talk about this again. we actually got to focus on the

real policies and the real things that not matter just to people in this building but certainly all americans, african americans, hispanics and everybody in between. i think that would be the best thing that we co do for our country. jill? >> you see his attacks on omarosa as part of a pattern of insulting african americans, people like football players. >> the president -- this has absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with the president calling out someone's lack of integrity. the idea that you would only point a few of the things that the president has said negative about people that are minorities, the fact is the president's an equal opportunity person that calls things like he sees it. he always fights fire with fire and he doesn't hold back.

>> can you defined an mda? >> i'm not going to get in the back and forth on an nda. i can tell you it's common in a lot of places for employees to sign ndas including in government, particularly anyone with a security clearance. annie? >> yes. >> john may be happy to go. that means he takes your question. >> the president said he kept omarosa on despite complaints from colleagues because she was personally supportive of him and said nice things about him. is that true of any other officials in the white house right now? >> i'm not aware of that. >> since you don't want to talk about omarosa -- >> we'll do our best. >> do you have a reaction to

president erdogan calling for ban of u.s. electronics like iphones and would the president support a similar ban on turkish products? >> i don't have an announcement. >> there was a report from reuters that the u.s. warning turkey of increased pressure. do you have details of how that was conveyed and what additional steps might look like and if the u.s. would take additional steps before the hearing of the detaining of the american pastor? >> how the information from turkey was received or the information from the united states to turkey? i can tell you the turkish ambassador's request -- ambassador john bolton met with the ambassador of turkey at the white house and pointed out the concerns that we have. >> one last one. the president encouraged israel's government to release a turkish citizen in july.

kid that contribute to the frustration? >> the president has a great deal of frustration on the fact that pastor brunson has not been released as well as the fact that other u.s. citizens and employees have not been released. we're going to continue to call on turkey to do the right thing and release those individuals. >> does the president or this white house believe that it is a violation of department of justice protocol if the special counsel's investigation goes beyond september 1? >> i'm not going to say that we would say a violation but i think we've been very clear that not only do we by all of the american people want this to wrap up. john? >> thank you, sarah. two questions on turkey. as the relationship between the president and president erdogan gets worse, my question very simply is, are we going to see the restoration of the read-outs

on calls between the president and other world leaders? that was terminated on the day after president erdogan's election. although we know that he is -- the president made a congr congratulatory call to him -- >> we'll provide read outs when we get them. >> and the taliban has been on a surprise offensive that killed 100 afghan security forces and a couple civilians. the president was visited with the tenth mountain division in ft. drum yesterday. does this new offensive -- is he still committed to his strategy that he outlined a year ago for afghanistan or does this new offensive give him an idea that

a different approach might be needed? >> certainly no announcements or changes in policy from the president's roll-out last august. >> have you asked the president if he's ever used the n word? >> the president addressed that question directly via twitter. i'd refer you back to home. i have never heard him use that term or anything similar. >> have you asked him directly? >> i didn't have to. he addressed it to the american people all at one time. >> why didn't you ask him directly? >> again, the president answered that question directly on twitter earlier today. >> can you stand at the podium and guarantee the american people that donald trump will never utter and n word on a recording in any context? >> i can't guarantee anything. i can tell you the president addressed this question directly. i can tell you i have never heard it. i can tell you if myself or the people in this building serving this country every single day doing our very best to help people all across this country

and make it better, if at any point we felt that the president was who some of his critics claim him to be, we certainly wouldn't be here. this is a president who is fighting for all americans, who is putting policies in place that help all americans, particularly african americans. just look at the economy alone. this president since he took office in the 1 1/2 years that he's been here has created 700,000 new jobs for african americans. that's 700,000 african americans that are working now that weren't working when this president took place. when president obama left after eight years in office, eight years in office, he only created 195,000 jobs for african americans. president trump in his first 1 1/2 years has already tripled what president obama did in eight years. not only did he do that for african americans, but for hispanics. 1.7 million more hispanics are working now. this is a president that cares about all americans, committed

to helping them and putting policies in play that do that. kevin? >> go ahead. >> just to be clear, you can't guarantee it? >> i haven't been in every single room. i can tell you the president has addressed this directly. he's directed it to the american people. i can tell you what the focus and the heart of the president is. that's on helping all americans and certainly this is somebody that has been in business for decades and just you're just hearing these outrageous accusations after he's dealt with people all over the world. it was president until he became a candidate for president that you started to hear these salacious and ridiculous claims. certainly i think if you look at the actions that this president has taken, certainly the policies that he's enacted, you can see the heart of who he is and you can see exactly what he has done and the type of president and person he is. kevin? >> thank you. just a very quick one on something that omarosa said

today. she called the president unfit, mentally unfit for the office. as someone that has worked with her, how surprised are you at the level of her animus towards this president and the white house? >> i'm certainly -- like most people that worked with her, very disapointsed that she would go to serve a self-serving, somebody that cares more about herself than our country to make it these outrageous claims and accusations. she worked here for a year. didn't have any of these things to say. in fact, everything she said was quite the opposite. not just the year that she worked here but the time that she spent on the campaign trail. i think it's really sad what she's doing at this point. >> if i could follow quickly. i wanted to ask you very briefly, we ready earlier this afternoon that the trump campaign has made an arbitration action against omarosa.

i'm curious and i know there's separate entities, is it likely the white house is considering pursuing something in the way of possible action toward omarosa for violating -- >> i wouldn't be able to comment on any potential ongoing legal matter. major? >> you said one of the motives for omarosa was to tear this place down. what do you mean by this? do you have ongoing concerns that while she was here, she taped other conversations that could either be damaging to the reputation of this white house or relevant or something you'd rather keep quiet? >> the greatest concern is the lack of integrity this individual has shown. >> she played a tape recording of the conversation. do you have any doubt if it's authentic? >> i don't. >> the president said he was unaware in that conversation. is that a true representation of what he knew at the time or was he just trying to make her feel better?

>> as i said, the president had a direct conversation with general kelly, asked him to try to work things out. if it didn't, he gave general kelly the full authority to make decisions about hiring and firing including with respect to omarosa. >> he knew what had happened. he knew he approved it. >> on the timing, he knew that it was certainly a possibility. but as to the fact whether or not general kelly had called the president, i don't think he had at that point. steve? >> repeatedly we've heard the president declare that the so-called islamic state terror group has been put to death in iraq and syria. the lead inspector general on the inherent resolve said the forces are 28,000 and 30,000 fighters, which would be the number that they had at their peak so has isis have been --

>> we know the caliphate has been destroyed. there's certainly isis fighters. that's why we take all of those threats seriously and look for ways to defeat them and protect american people and our allies. >> can i go back to the race question again? i get you can cite statistics that are positive for the president. what do you say to people that look at the pattern of comments that the president has made specifically about african americans and feel like he is singling those folks out because of their race? are they missing something or are they diluting themselves? what do you say to them? there's lots of people out there that look at the pattern and say, yes, he's said negative things about a lot of people but there's a particular pattern of singling out african americans

and commenting in particular and talking about their looks. >> i don't think so. i think the president has said similar things about a number of individuals certainly that are not african american or any other minority. i can simply talk to you about the policies and the person that the president is. again, if the president is the person that his critics say he is wouldn't have been in business with him for decades. bill and hillary clinton attended his wedding. democrats begged him for campaign contributions. if they were who he said he was, why did they have these relationships with him? it's very convenient that these accusations started once the president became someone running for office. he's shown time and time again through his actions, through his policies that he wants to be a president for all americans, that he wants to do everything he can to make america better and not just for a certain group

of people but for everybody. he's made a number of comments about plenty of people. if you do a comparison, he probably has more nasty things about other people. the president is somebody that will always fight fire with fire. this is something that is not new and something the american people knew when they voted for him and overwhelmingly elected him to be the president of the united states. since he took office, he's governed in a way that is helping all americans. frankly, if we want to look at who is creating divisions in the country, the media has done more to divide this country more than this president ever has been elevating people like the author of this book, by focusing on sparsely attended rally instead of the policies that this administration and this president are enacting that are

helping people not just on the economy but on school choice, on prison reform that has affected african americans and hispanics, this is a president that is governing to help all americans and we would all be better off if the media gave that more attention. >> you stressed how you feel about omarosa since the publication of this book. how is she viewed by fellow staff members here at the white house while she worked here? did she pull her own weight? did you trust her? i'm trying to get a sense of whether your view of her has changed with the publication of this book? >> certainly i've expressed some disappointment. i'm not going to get into a back and forth on personal feelings that i have with a former colleague. i think that the focus not only of my time here but of this administration is looking forward and how we can actually implement policies that matter to the american people, not who

like to build walls behind. >> when first time the mueller investigation indicted some russians, the administration sanctioned those russians. the 12 that were recently indicted, the 12 russian nationals, does this administration plan to level sanctions against them? >> i don't have any announcements on that front. >> a quick follow up. you said you'd like everybody to stop talking about this subject. would you like the president to stop tweeting about omarosa? >> if the media gives it wall-to-wall coverage, the administration will be forced to respond. it would be better off for all of us to walk away and focus on some things that matter. >> thank you so much. i want to ask a question south

america. how much does the trip have to do with the growing presence of china in the region? >> certainly we have a lot of shared valued with the countries that he's visiting. we would always like to be the priority partner for those countries. we hope that those relationships will continue to develop and we'll keep you posted if he has any updates. last question. stephen? >> bearing in mind the trump's campaign announcement that they're pursuing arbitration on omarosa necessitates attention and a major national talking point. can i ask you once more about the practice of signing people to nondisclosure agreements? let me ask you what it says about the expressions of loyalty or lack thereof. why do people need to be contractually obligated to forever after in perpetuity? never say anything negative about the president, any member of his family, any product?

why is that necessary? >> it's common in a lot of -- >> for corporations to protect corporate interests. >> it's also despite contrary opinion, it's actually very normal in every administration prior to the trump administration has had ndas particularly specific for anyone that had a security clearance. this white house is no stranger -- >> why would someone lake omarosa sane it? what the trump campaign is doing, he's forcing her to defend herself and potentially pay damages. why is that necessary? >> that's something that you have to ask the trump campaign. that's not a question that i can answer. thanks so much, guys. have a great day. >> shepard: there you go from the board room to the west wing and now to a courtroom. the trump campaign taking action against the former apprentice

contestant, omarosa manigault newman. the trump campaign accusing her of violating a nondisclosure agreement from her campaign days with a new book and the secret recordings she keeps releasing. omarosa says she does not believe she violated anything. more on the legal part in a few minutes. the legal issue comes after the battle between president trump and omarosa gets even nastier. the president issued this statement this morning on twitter. when you give a crazed crying low-life a break and give her a job at the white house, i guess it just didn't work out. good work by general kelly for quickly firing that dog. "that dog" apparently a reference to omarosa who released a recording of white house chief of staff john kelly firing her. the white house press secretary just said that the president was simply voicing his frustration. today omarosa talked about why she felt the need to secretly

record the president and his staff. >> yes, i'm the concerned of person that covers her own back. in trump world, everyone lies. everyone says one thing one day and they change their story the next day. >> shepard: this morning omarosa said president trump was her mentor for years, but relationships change. omarosa also says she met with the special counsel investigating the russian meddling and she's willing to do so again. she says folks inside the white house "should be worried" about it but she would not say why. there have been reports of the possibility of tapes from the "apprentice" days of the president using a racial epithet. omarosa said she heard a recording. she asked if she can guarantee the president if the president said the n word, sarah sanders said i cannot guarantee anything. then added, i haven't been in every room. so with the book officially out today and a lot of hype from

omarosa herself, the question is what is next? and also will anything actually come of this? more ahead on today's extraordinary briefing. we begin with laura ingle on the legal battle with omarosa and the trump campaign, not the white house, be u.t. campaign. tell us about this arbitration deal. >> all of this is going to remain private. when we say private, the arbitration that has been filed from trump's campaign against omarosa. a trump campaign official confirms with fox news, president trump's campaign has filed this arbitration action against the former aide, omarosa manigault newman after she released her new book titled "unhinged" about her time in the white house and this media blitz to talk about it. she released three recordings. one that she made with campaign

officials about how to spin a possible release of a video of candidate trump using a racial slur, the n word. something that president trump and his campaign aides have denied ever happened. manigault newman appeared on cbs which played the recording on air with a conversation she had with katrina pearson and lynn patton and starts with pearson. listen. >> i'm trying to find out at least the context, make me try to figure out a way to spin it. >> i said, well, can you think of any time that this might have happened? he said no. >> that's not true. so -- >> he goes how do you see the n word? what you just said. depends on what scenario you're talking about. he said why don't you just go ahead and put it to this. he said it. >> and katrina pierson will be

on fox news later this evening, 11:00 p.m. eastern. she's scheduled to talk about the tapes, what happened overnight and of course what is happening today. >> shepard: and a lot more is happening. omarosa is making appearance after appearance. in the last few minutes, omarosa also claimed in a television appearance that president trump knew advanced that the wikileaks documents were coming out. there's no way to know where this is going or which parts of these are true unless and until we hear tapes thereof and there's been some and she's says there's more. >> she says she doesn't believe she violated her nda and will leave it up to the lawyers. people say can you record in the white house? the district of columbia is a one-party state. did she break any laws while inside the white house. that's been discussed as well. >> shepard: let's turn to david hawking, a former senior editor for roll call.

nice to talk to you. >> nice to be with you. >> shepard: tapes are not new in this administration. we can go back to grab her in the you know what and that didn't change anything. your take on what these tapes are and how they'll fit in the bigger picture. >> i think tapes are the magic ingredient in politics. this goes back to watergate. this is -- there's in people that make comparisons between the nixon white house and the trump white house. with nixon, we had a president that installed a taping system in the oval office because he had a bit of a paranoia that people would be lying about him and he wanted tapes of what was being said in the oval office and he could prove he's right. now we have a presidency where the opposite is true. people around this candidate, donald trump, before he was the president, seemed to be want tok make tapes because they were a little bit amazed what he might say or what he might deny having said later on. so in politics, in a world in which people talk about fake

news, hearing a president or any person actually say important words on video or on audio tape is really sort of crucial to the way the rest of the trump presidency plays out. >> shepard: people inside a white house signing nondisclosure agreements, is that a new idea to you or is that something which you were aware prior? >> you know, it's a new idea to me. i was sitting here listening to the briefing. i don't exactly know what sarah huckabee sanders was saying that she says this happens all the time in the white house with people with security clearances. sure, there's rules of people not disclosing top secret information. but i don't know of other presidents that have tried to bind their employees to essentially muzzle government employees that work for them to never say anything about what happens in the white house. >> shepard: it's one thing to have a rule and another things to have an agreement. it's common in the private

sector. but government employees signing nondisclosure agreements. i've looked at colleagues that worked in this white house. these are things that they have no familiarity. >> i don't either. our bookshelves are filled with feel that have written tell-all books. some that tell more than others about what happened in the white house. this is an important part of the historical record. people that work in these white houses being free to express themselves about what they saw and heard. >> shepard: one more thing before we go. this is all new because she keep showing up on television everywhere. she was just on msnbc. she said there was a lot of c r corruption campaign. she said about the wikileaks tapes. that sort of thing, the stolen documents before they were released, that would be quite a

thing indeed. >> it would be quite a thing indeed. we should stop and say here, that omarosa has not been proved to have been accurate on everything she has said and written. >> shepard: for sure. >> there's basic factual inaccuracies in excerpts of the book. so her record is not unimpeachable when it's being accurate. that doesn't mean she shouldn't have the right as a former government employees to say what she thinks she heard. >> shepard: all right. good to talk to you, david hawkings. >> thank you. >> shepard: david hawkings, formerly the senior editor at roll call. the trial was president trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort, could go to the jury tomorrow. the defense rested. then -- i should say the prosecution rested. then it was his turn for his lawyers to defend themselves to say here's our defense. you know, you don't have to offer a defense. they did not offer a defense. we'll talk to a lawyer that can

look at the case from both sides. first, bottom of the hour headlines on a busy news day coming up in just a moment. so you have, your headphones,

from virginia this morning. nasa says data will be recovered at sea. shep will be right back. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. >> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal. >> tech: yes ma'am. >> tech vo: saving her time...

>> shepard: breaking in just the last hour. predator priests and a bomb shell grand jury report just released. more than 300 catholic priests in the state of pennsylvania are accused of either sexually abusing children themselves or helping others cover up abuse. the number of identifiable young victims more than 1,000. that is the finding a 1,300 page grand jury report just out in the last hour. the grand jury for two years investigating accusations in six of eight diocese in the state of pennsylvania. listen to how the grand jury opened its report. it said "we the members of the grand jury need you to hear this. we know some of you have heard some of it before. there's been other reports about child sex abuse within the

catholic church. but never on this scale. for many of us, they write, the earlier stories happened someplace else, someplace away. now we know the truth. it happened everywhere." we heard the testimony of dozens of witnesses concerning clergy sex abuse. we subpoenaed and reviewed half a million pages of internal diocese documents. they contain credible allegations about over 300 predator priests. over 1,000 child victims were identifiable from the church's own records. we believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid even to come forward is in the thousands. the report says all of the victims were brushed aside in every part of the state by church leaders that preferred to protect the abusers and their institutions above all. the pennsylvania attorney

general put it in stark terms. >> priests were raping little boys and girls. the men of god that were responsible for them not only did nothing, they hid it all for decades. monsignors, bishops, archbishops, cardinals have mostly been protected, many including some named in this report have been promoted. >> shepard: the pennsylvania attorney general in the last hour. the allentown diocese has released a statement that reads in part "abuse is abhorrent and has no place in the church or in society. much has changed in the past 15 years as the grand jury acknowledged in the report. most of the incidents date back decades. most of the priests are in active ministry or deceased. since 2002, we've taken strong action to provide support for victims and survivors. the abuse was devastating and

tragic for the victims and survivors and continues to cause pain and anger to this day." the grand jury reports the truth is, bishops and other catholic church leaders covered up the crimes and obstructed justice in order avoid scandal and the same leaders persuaded victims not to report the abuse and police officers not to investigate the abuse. though some of the allegations go back for decades and cannot be prosecuted. a priest in the greensberg pennsylvania diocese last month pleaded guilty to molesting a 10-year-old boy, all part of this very report. though the grand jury said the church records identify more than 1,000 victims, it reports the panel believes the real number is in the thousands. attorneys for president trump's former campaign chairman resting their case without making a case today. they did not call a single witness to the stand or present any evidence of any kind. today speaking for the first time in court, paul manafort

said he would not testify. lawyers on both sides set to make their final arguments to the jury tomorrow. they have two hours on each side before the 12 men and women decide whether to convict paul manafort on charges that could put him behind bars for decades. also today, another mysterious delay. the judge kicking out reporters and spectators. the feds say the campaign chairman ran a multimillion dollar scheme to evade banking laws and taxes connected to lobbying work for a russian political firm. paul manafort has pleaded not guilty to all charges, this is the first courtroom test for robert mueller's team in the russian investigation. catherine herridge is covering the trial. what is being said about the strategy there? >> paul manafort for the first

time, stood up in the courtroom and he went to the podium and he exchanged a short conversation with the judge who said to him, have you been advised of your rights. he said that he's chosen not to testify, a short time ago, we have heard from manafort's lead attorney, kevin downing and he explained their strategy. >> to me, the government has failed to meet their burden of proof. we rested on that. >> what does this say about making your client look guilty? >> we live in the united states of america. you're presumed innocent until proven guilty. we believe the government cannot meet that burden. we're very confident. >> there was also one last question about the jurors and whether there may be a problem with one or more of the jurors after this two-hour session this morning that was private and under seal.

so no one from the public and no one from the media. downing did not answer that question and kept walking, shep. so it's really a mystery for all of us here at the courthouse. >> shepard: again, closing arguments tomorrow. catherine herridge will be there for us. thank you. rescue crews searching for survivors after a deadly bridge collapse in italy. did you see this? it's raising questions about safety of bridges in the united states and around the world for that matter. there's word tens of thousands of american bridges need repairs at last check. the details from italy and the reports from homecoming up.

>> shepard: a horrible scene this morning. cars and trucks plunging 100 feet after a highway bridge came crashing down in italy killing 22 people. officials say the dead will likely rise. it's been changing throughout the day and evening there. crews pulling survivors from the wreckage. tons of concrete and twisted

metal fell on a factory and warehouses below the bridge. take a look at this delivery truck just feet away from falling into the void. this happened in genoa along a major highway that connects italy to france. tomorrow is a very big summer italian holiday. so the roads were busier than usual today as people headed to the beaches and to the mountains. trace gallagher with the details for us. trace? >> shep, rescue teams are treating this like an earthquake using k-9s to search for the victims below. the bridge spans homes, shopping center and train tracks. they don't believe anybody on the ground was killed but at this point they're not 100% sure. i want you to hear from the man that just happened to capture video of the collapse. watch. oh god, oh god. this bridge is in part of the

italian freeway that links the west of the country. it's nicknamed brooklyn bridge because the two resemble each other. the bridge's high point is 300 feet. most cars fell 150 feet. the death toll is because authorities say many of the injuries were grave. for possible cause, there's talk of bad weather and like strikes but that doesn't bring down major brings. the bridge is always under maintenance because it's at the end of its life span and is constantly being reinforced. the bridge was due for a $22 million update. it was very telling today when the major of genoa said the bridge collapse is tragic but not up expected. this bridge built in 1968 using cable suspension and concrete. concrete is no longer uses

because it tends to weaken and crumble. shep? >> shepard: we've seen similar tragedies here at home. among the deadliest was a bridge collapse in downtown minneapolis in 2007. that's been 11 years. it killed 13 people and hurt 145 others. before it came tumbling down, inspectors found the bridge was structurally deficient. the american society of civil engineers reports more than 56,000 bridges across the united states fall under that category or did back in 2016. nearly one in ten bridges across this nation. the feds and different organizations have their own stats, but they're all in the same ballpark. overall, the number of bridges in poor condition has been dropping. engineers warn that bridges are getting older and many weren't designed to last as long as they have. this is casey.

he handles up affairs for the american society of civil engineers. are we at a crisis or how would you describe it? >> we're facing a infrastructure crisis in the united states. bridges may not be the most critical part of that crisis now. we did a report card which graded bridge as c plus, which is one of the higher grades on the report card. 55,000 bridges are deficient in the united states. what that means, a bridge in that condition needs to be inspected every year instead of every two years. from a safety perspective, people should not change their patterns of behavior at this point. the way the bridge situation plays out in the united states, engineers are constantly inspecting and maintaining the bridges. if there's a feeling the bridge can't handle the load being put on it, signs will be put on the bridge to limit the types of

vehicles that can go on there and the weights. in some cases the bridge will be closed to protect the public. so it's mostly in economic issues that plays out in this country. since there's so many structural deficient bridges causing so many working arounds for business, it's a economic issue. it's part of a $9 day drag that underunvestment in infrastructure. >> shepard: i wanted to spend time on this but the president went long and we're out of time. i apologize. now the news continues in just a moment. let's begin. yes or no? do you want the same tools and seamless experience

>> shepard: police in great britain say they're searching several locations for clues after a man plowed a car into a barrier outside parliament this morning hurting three people. investigators are treating it as terrorism. happened in london as folk were commuting to work. watch the spot shadow from the bbc. surveillance camera caught it all. you can see the car driving down the road and veering through pedestrians there hitting a couple pedestrians. what appeared to be a median and running into people walking and riding bikes and eventually hitting a barrier right there that surrounds the parliament. witnesses said it seemed like the car was speeding before the crash. >> we heard a bang. it was loud. we thought there was an accidents on the round around.

we saw people running past westminster. so we ran up to start filming and saw a silver car crashed into the barrier outside the palace. >> shepard: that was that. police surrounded the car very quickly and as you can see here, arrested what we learned was a 29-year-old driver. right after this news cast, you can catch us on facebook watch for a fox news update each and every week day. it streams live on facebook watch home screams and we do so in a few minutes. you can catch it there on demand on your facebook stream. facebook watch on facebook from fox news. should news break out, we'll break in. breaking news changes everything on fox news channel. if you've been watching the markets, you know the u.s. markets had no problem throughout the entire session we've been in the green despite there's turmoil in turkey and other emerging markets. interest rates are up to 45%

>> what is the strategy and continuing to respond to the charges? why does he just ignore it? >> secretary sanders: i think not only those of us here in the white house, but frankly, most of america would be happy to ignore. unfortunately, the individuals in this room continue to create a large platform for somebody that they know not to have a lot of credibility for someone they refused to give a platform to when they work at the white house. >> neil: there seems to be a little fixation when it comes to that. maybe for good reason. but this might have been an obsession for the
