i'm paul gigot, and we hope to see you right here next week. ♪ ♪ eric: learning new details after yesterday's deadly and horrible terrorist attack right near the london bridge. fox news is first to report that isis is now claiming responsibility for that stabbing rampage by a jihadist that killed two people and wounded five others. this as british investigators are now releasing new information about that islamist who was behind the attack. hello, everyone, and welcome to "america's news headquarters," i'm eric shawn. arthel: and i'm arthel neville. the 28-year-old suspect was convicted in 2012 for terrorism offenses, and he served six years in prison before he was released last year. counterterrorism authorities are now searching for clues into how the attack was able to occur,

but they say they are not looking for other suspects. >> inquiries go on, but at this point in time there is no intelligence to suggest anyone else was involved and at this stage we are considering he was of the attacker. arthel: kitty logan is live in london with the latest. >> reporter: hi there. well, police have named u.s.man if khan as -- usman khan as the attacker, previously convicted on terror charges, and there are being questions being asked here now about why he was released early from that sentence. on friday it was this suspect who was armed with two large knives and wearing a fake suicide vest who began stabbing people at a conference. now, been attending that that conference on prison reform close to london bridge. several members of the public tackled him and yessinged him to the ground -- yes withinged him to the ground. police shot him dead. khan served six years in prison

for planning to bomb the london stock exchange. that sentence has been reduced on appeal. he was then released on probation under very strict conditions which police said he had stuck to so far, but there are huge questions now about why khan was allowed out from prison and how he could possibly have been free to carry out this attack. back to you. arthel: all right. kitty, one thing i want to ask you before you go, talk about the response from the government and british prime minister boris johnson. he's been very outspoken about this case, and what are we hearing from police as well? >> reporter: well, police are investigating this extensively are, of course, but what they really want to know is how this individual who had this known record of being a terrorist, a convicted terrorist, was able to carry out this strike in the heart of the city of london. and today we saw visiting the scene the prime minister, boris johnson. he said it was a mistake to allow violent criminals out of prison early. >> it does not make sense for us as a society to be putting

terrorist, people who have committed terrorist offenses or serious violent offenses out on early release. we argue that people should serve, terrorists serve the term for which they're sentenced. >> reporter: now, police are searching khan's home as part of their investigation. they believe he acted alone. we've since heard isis claim responsibility for this attack, but police say that they still believe that this is one individual behind this. however, as a precaution, they are putting extra police patrols out in the city of london this weekend. arthel? arthel: kitty logan, thank you very much. eric: well, the isis-claimed terrorist attack underscores just how that terrorist group is looking to rebuild its influence following the death of its leader, al-baghdadi, and the loss of its caliphate in iraq and syria. colonel james carafano joins us.

we just heard that usman khan, i mean, the guy serves half a sentence for terrorism, he's got an ankle bracelet on. he goes to a symposium, a study workshop to reeducate prisoners that's being run by cambridge university. he whips out a knife and kills two people and runs onto the london bridge. doesn't this show how insidious radical islamic terrorism, that jihad philosophy is, and why it's -- how it's so hard to break? >> well, this is a particular problem in western europe where they've had a large number of home-grown radicals and, of course, they had the flood of refugees that came into western with europe. the u.k.'s been tracking about 20,000 islamist extremists in the country. so that is a, that's a bigger than a bread box problem. and i any between 2014 and 2018 -- between 2014 and 2018, they've had a number of attacks.

you can understand the magnitude of the problem they're dealing with, so the question of why you're letting convicted flocks out -- felons out early, that's a reasonable question. eric: the number that you just cited, that's unbelievable. 20,000 that could potentially be terrorists, there's no way. is there there no way the government -- is there a way that the government can actually track -- this guy had an ankle bracelet on. police knew about him. he whips out a knife and kills people at the symposium dedicated to reeducating prisoners. >> well, europe's -- look, europe and in particular britain have really bad policy. it wasn't until 2010 that britain started taking this seriously. essentially, they were going to go out and engage with the community to prevent this, and they were engaging with the most radical elements of the british islamic society to help them deal with the issue of

terrorism. they've done better recently but, honestly, they've been distracted by brexit. that's why i think johnson's approach, which is we've got to get serious about this, put brexit behind us, i think his approach is exactly right. eric: the organizer of the group, according to his father -- a young man at cambridge university -- was apparently killed in this. i mean, is it, does this show that -- can they be rehabilitated? is that each in the realm of possibilities once you adhere to that philosophy which, to them, is a religious, deeply-held zeal to kill the infidels, us? can that change? can they be productive citizens of a civilized society? >> well, what's really key, we can't get in the mind of every individual. what countries can do is they can break the back of the networks, and this is really important. i know isis claimed responsibility, said they claim responsibility for everything. what's really key is it doesn't look like this is an organized network of attacks x. that is,

that gets the level of violence down. one thing i'm proudst about is look -- proudest about is look at the police response, which was exactly right, apparently, and quick and really limited the damage that this guy could have done. i mean, i think that's really the best you can do. eric: and look at the people response. we're used to it now on airplanes, but look at the people who took a fire extinguisher, the other guy got that hook, you know, from the museum and brought it out, that newal, long thing to try and attack the guy. so so this shows that it is up to us, they say say something, see something. we are the front line in the war on terrorism, each and every one of us wherever we live. >> we've seen this since 9/11. remember the passengers that tried to prevent the plane from being hijacked that went down in pennsylvania. so this has always been the best defense, and that's why this lower-level terrorism, it's terrible, and it's damning and it's tragic, but our societies

are way more resilient than that. that's where i think we have to strike this balance. you can say we have to take these extremist communities apart, but we also have to defend freedom of speech, freedom of religion. so we have to measure both of those. so it's like good, strong public safety is really the best thing. and this is an american society and our allies that are engaged and resilient that these terrorists can go nowhere against us if you follow that -- eric: the president will be in london this coming week for the nato meetings, celebration of the 70th anniversary. do you expect him to address this? i mean, nato is formed to face also the old soviet union, russia, now they're moving to china. is there a way to bring them in? all law enforcement, i think globally, needs to deal with the terrorist problem. >> the president has said before that nato needs to focus on terrorism, and i think there is something to that. of course, nato is with the united states in afghanistan trying to hold the line against the taliban. that's important. i think there are things nato

can contribute within the community and with the supporting friends and allies who are doing this. it's manager they totally have the -- something they totally have the capacity to do. it's not the primary focus, but it is something they should do, and the president's actually been a leader in trying to get that balance right. eric: whoever would think that a narwal tusk, fire extinguishes, whatever you have when you've got an active shooter, a terrorist, jihadi madman. >> that's right. eric: i know. it is us against the radical jihad militants. lieutenant colonel james carafano, thank you for your thoughts. >> thanks for having me. arthel: breaking news from the netherlandses where my say a 35-year-old homeless man is in custody after three teenagers were stabbed last night. the attack happening near the center of the hague which was packed with black friday shoppers at the time. the victims, two 15-year-old girls and a 13-year-old boy, were treated and released from

the hospital. the suspect's identity has not been released, and police do not believe the incident is terror-related. eric: and wide receiver terrelle pryor is recovering after being stabbed in pittsburgh. many reports say he was stabbed several times in an apartment complex where he lives. it happened about 4:30 this morning. a woman reportedly now in police custody about this. he, of course, was a breakout star at the ohio state university, was drafted by the nfl in 2011 and now is a free agent after being released by the jacksonville jaguars last september. arthel: extreme weather threatening travel plans for tens of millions of americans this weekend. a new storm system out west could dump more than 5 inches of rain in some parts of california. meanwhile, a fierce winter storm marching across the plains and midwest and expected to slam the northeast with rain and snow

tomorrow. now, tomorrow is predicted to be the busiest travel day of the year which will cause some problems. jacqui heinrich is live with more on this from our new york city newsroom. >> reporter: well, arthel, there are three areas of heavy snowfall happening through monday night, as you mentioned. the california mountains, the upper midwest and the northeast. and it is all happening on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. 55 million americans are traveling for thanksgiving, the most since 2005, and the weather is not cooperating. airports across the country have clocked nearly 300 cancellations and more than 3,000 delays so far today, and there are 34 already slated for tomorrow. airlines are issuing change fee waivers for some 30 cities in the northeast and more than a dozen in the midwest. the storm's already being blamed for one death in a snowy south dakota car crash and also severe flooding in arizona which claimed the lives of at least two children with one more still missing. blizzard conditions are raking the high plains, prompting the

city of duluth, minnesota, to issue a no travel advisory. and as the storm tracks eastward tomorrow and monday, new england is looking at a possible nor'easter on monday. the new york area is also set for a dangerous combination of snow followed by rain, topped off by even more snow which can make travel impossible. ing people who made it to their east coast destinations might be there for a while. >> we got out of durango, colorado, before it started snowing and, apparently, our friends and relatives are all snowed in. they're trying to get to places also. they'll make it. takes time. >> reporter: meantime, the midwest is still playing cleanup. a 100-mile section of interstate 80 was closed this morning in nebraska and wyoming because of blowing snow. cheyenne got 10 inches and that's on top of a foot that fell just before thanksgiving. colorado's interstate 25 and highways 85 and 287 were also closed because of poor visibility. the national weather service is

warning people in the path of this storm not to be out on the roads if you don't have to. arthel? arthel: absolutely not. jacqui heinrich, thank you. eric? eric: well, impeachment proceedings are going to pick back up next week, and for the very first time the white house counsel, well, he's being invited to take part in those proceedings. coming up, we'll take a look at what is ahead and the surprising divide between men and women over support for their president's impeachment. t a sno. i'll get that later. dylan! but the one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. what? switching and saving was really easy! i love you! what? sweetie! hands off the glass. ugh!! call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. i love her! it nice?ce. this is the most-awarded minivan three years in a row.

you came back! ♪ ♪ eric: well, the house judiciary committee is preparing for a new round of impeachment hearing next week, and for the first time democrats are inviting the white house to participate. congressman jerry nadler is sending a letter to the president yesterday asking if the white house wants to request

witnesses or make a presentation at the proceedings. he says the president has until friday to respond. finish kevin corke is live near mar-a-lago in west palm beach, florida, where the president has been pending his -- spending his thanksgiving weekend except for that surprise visit to the troops in afghanistan. >> reporter: you're right, and house democrats are asking a simple question, they or won't they? the white house and the white house counsel, specifically, actually take part in this impeachment inquiry as it moves into its next phase. as you know, we have a big hearing coming up on wednesday. a few academics discuss the constitutionality of the impeachment inquiry. but let me take you through the next important dates coming up. you mentioned december 6th, that is a very big day. that is the day that the white house will have to tell the committee whether or not it's actually going to participate in this particular impeachment inquiry as it moves into the new phase with the judiciary committee. that includes, by the way, the introduction of evidence and

witnesses. by the way, i should point this out, eric, that's the same deadline for lawmakers on the republican side of the committee. then another big day, december 9th. that's when jerry nadler's committee will consider the matter. now, the real concern among many at the white house is will this process fair. they're concerned, they tell me, because of what happened during the adam schiff-led intel committee hearing. they said that process was grossly unfair. and now they're worried about this process which, by the way, would allow the committee chair -- jerry nadler -- to approve or reject any request for witnesses and evidence by the white house and gop. still, democrats say there's no reason the president and the counsel's office shouldn't take part. republicans, meanwhile, well, some of them are skeptical. >> i hope the president does participate in the judiciary committee hearings, that he has his double there so we see a -- counsel there so we see a fair, open, transparent process. >> what's so interesting about

what the president and republicans are saying, it's the same thing we've been saying for months. there's nothing impeachable here, this is a witch hunt. >> reporter: now, as you know, the democrats would like to have this thing buttoned up, frankly, by christmas. if they can impeach the president, they'd like to get it done by then, and that would lead to a senate trial sometime in january. but they could also choose, eric, to censure the president. that would take the senate trial out of the picture, presumably so, next year. either way, an interesting few weeks ahead. eric: yeah. we'll see if some of those more progressive democrats would accept a censure. we'll see what happens. finish all right. thanks, kevin. arthel? arthel: let's bring in trial attorney rachel phelps and former prosecutor david schwartz. so, rachel, i will start with you. house dem cans -- dems inviting the white house to take part in next week's hearings. although signs the invitation will be turned down, should the white house allow witnesses

favorable to the president to testify before the jewish dish ray committee -- judiciary committee? >> well, at this point the facts really aren't in dispute here. this isn't a case that's going to turn on the facts. the last time the white house came out with rebuttal evidence is when we received that transcript which wound up sinking the president and his story that there wasn't any story there, right? so from a strategic perspective, when you're a lawyer and when you're looking at this stuff, if this were a criminal case, you'd be thinking what do i have to gain by putting witnesses on the stand in this particular instance, i can see very little value to the president by trying to put on a case here. this thing's not necessarily going to turn on any sort of great revelation in the facts. so delay is always the friend of the criminal defendant, to continue to delay here for them, you know, witnesses can disappear, minds can get foggier. if you're considering this like you would a criminal case and the president is the defendant

in the case, there doesn't appear to be a lot to gain by him participating. arthel: david, explain the constitutional guidelines or valid legal reasons for not allowing white house witnesses to testify? >> well, i mean, certainly the president has constitutional rights the same way everyone else has constitutional rights. and in this case, i actually think the that the president should have his attorney present to challenge all the witnesses that are going to be testifying. the president has a sixth amendment right to challenge witnesses, to cross-examine witnesses, and i believe he should take advantage of every legal opportunity available to the president. now, i agree with rachel, you may not want to put on a case. in fact, many defendants don't put on a case. so that may be a strategic reason not to put on a case. however, have your counsel there. i think that's an important fact in this case and challenge those witnesses. arthel: uh-huh. but counsel -- but don't present witnesses, is what you're saying.

because, i mean, i'm asking you, david, because the white house, the president himself and the house republicans, they've been crying foul all along claiming without testimony from their own witnesses, the impeachment process is a sham. >> well, look, if they have the opportunity to put on witnesses, then they have the opportunity to put on witnesses. that is an argument. they are claiming a sham. however, i think they should go with the strategy of challenging the witnesses that are going to be testifying because it becomes a question whether or not there were high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the president, and i think they should challenge those witnesses to the fullest extent the same way they're challenging the subpoenas. it's just good lawyering to do so at this point. arthel: all right. well, listen -- >> right. but at this point i don't know that, i don't know that the president's necessarily concerned with good lawyering. you and i, if we were actually taking this seriously and handling as we would a case, we would take it scheeresly and not -- seriously and not just

cry sham. in this particular instance, he's much more concerned with the public court of public opinion than he is with, ultimately, the decisions made on the impeachment and whether or not to impeachment and definition of high crimes and misdemeanors, it doesn't even exist. so it's a very interesting thing as to whether or not anybody believes that the public integrity was violated by the choices that the president made -- arthel: i want to jump in, excuse me, rachel, i want to jump in because you mentioned the court of public opinion, and i want to hoe a poll from washington post/abc news, the impeachment gender gap. 42% of the men polled support impeachment with 54% opposed to it. and when you look at the women, 56% support impeaching president trump versus 40% of women who are against impeachment. quickly, rachel, why the lopsided response? and then you, david. 20 seconds each, please. >> well, i think, you know, you could make light of it and say women are more used to dealing with petulant children and

disciplining them, and they can spot a liar a mile away. if you look at it seriously, the gender gap has always existed along party lines, so since democrats are more interested in impeachment than republicans, that's what makes the most sense to explain that gap. arthel: david, give me 15, please. >> the president has certainly always appealed to men more than women. he does have a woman problem, this president, and he needs to appeal to women. but certainly, his personality, his policies appeal more to men. arthel: thank you, both of you, david schwartz and rachel phelps. see you again soon. bye-bye. >> thank you. nice to see you both. eric: and speaking -- same here. former vice president joe biden, well, he's looking to rebound in iowa as polls show his support has been slipping there. but he'll soon have competition. other white house hopefuls, there are two in the hawkeye state this weekend. we'll have the latest straight ahead on "america's news

[laughter] of course we're going to fight. finish we -- we are a nation tht

was born out of a fight. nothing we have achieved that has been about progress in our nation came without a fight. >> reporter: this is one of five stops that the california senator is making in iowa today. she took pa part in small business saturday today by shopping with her sister in west des moines this morning. her sister is the chairwoman for her campaign, and harris' flagging campaign is reportedly in turmoil. a former staffer writing in a resignation letter obtained by "the new york times," quote: this is my third presidential campaign, and i have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly. with less than9 0 days until iowa, we still do not have a real plan to win. also in iowa right now is former vice president joe biden and his wife. they are at a community event as he kicks off his no malarkey bus tour to try and gain some ground on the three opponents leading the nomination race in iowa. his campaign also announcing that his field organizers are now unionized under the

official/mobber the, wrowp you know, was behind this. you know, the movie and his story have generated renewed interest as well. eric: yeah. i believed it for a long time and the author of the book and publisher, and robert deniro says he believes sharon. others are saying, no, it's not true. but you just hit upon tony pro, the mob capo in new jersey, and where the focus went to a guy named ralph picardo. he was one of tony pro's guys. he was 32 years old, serving 20 years for manslaughter. he goes to authorities, and he flips, he's one of the crew -- he's one of the mob guys, and he tells them what happened, and he says that where we bury bodies is the dump. here is melvin, his agent and handler as a special agent in the irs. melvin wrote a book that includes all this. he says ralph picardo is

believable. take a look. do you find ralph trust wore? >> as far as i'm concerned, he was trustworthy. everything he told me, everything i wrote down about him came back to be true. so based on that, yes, he was truthful to me. they called him ralph the rat, they called him -- he was off the wall. i think his own, his own style he said he was an unsavory character. so, and he was an unsavory character and a little bit crazy. eric: you know, it seems unsavory characters, yet what's the history? when they flip and they cooperate, it seems potentially they're telling the truth, by and large. >> well, i think that's true. there's a lot of advantages for them to tell the truth, right? because they get reduced sentences and often times have committed all these heinous crimes for which they're never

prosecuted. so there's a lot of upside for government witnesses. but what you find is they open the lid on the secrets that we would never find out about otherwise. and whether it's frank colatta here in vegas or sammy the bull, it's amazing the amount of information that they have to share and how valuable that can be to prosecutors. eric: and you're in las vegas which happens to be one of the alleged motivating factors in hoffa's murder. can you explain that and the central protection fund that the teamsters had? >> absolutely. you know, jimmy hoffa played a very, he was very friendly with the mob, and he was willing to use the teamsters' central state pension fund to provide loans to the mob to build and expand casinos in las vegas. and this happened during the '60s, and then his successor also did this into the '70s. and what you saw was, you know,

regular banks and especially, you know, banks that weren't really interested in gambling, first of all, in funding gambling but also not interested in funding the mob, weren't really willing to give loans to build these casinos. so in comes the teamsters with the central stage pension fund really controlled by the chicago outfit, and they start providing these loans. and so, you know, everybody in las vegas loved jimmy hoffa because he was willing to, you know, help expand the city. later, you know, he was also a very cantankerous individual, hard to deal with. so, you know, when he went to prison and frank fitzsimmons took over, he was even friendlier with the mob, is my understanding. he was much easier to work with. so, you know, when the idea of hoffa coming back and regaining the presidency e of the teamsters union didn't really sit well with the mob because they wanted even more money from las vegas and other things. eric: yeah. everybody in las vegas loved

jimmy hoffa. a fascinating museum. i urge folks to go there when they go to las vegas. geoff, good to see you, i thank you. and some of that love will be on a special night on december 11th, because i'll be taking part in a forum. mob museum.org, go on their web site and see what they've got. i mean, they've got -- it's amazing. who even knew we even had that in this country? also watch our special here tomorrow night on the fox news channel, the real search for james hoffa, 10 p.m. eastern, and also on fox nation online. we're trying to solve the case and get the files released which i think will finally solve this case. release the fbi files, please. arthel: eric, i know that you grew up in new york city. when did you, when did your fascination with the mob begin in. eric: when a guy came to my house with a baseball bat. that's a joke.

[laughter] i'm an old reporter, i'm a crime reporter. arthel: gwen if it was something as a child just growing up, being in the city, if that was just a fascination. eric: no, and geoff actually touched on that, not only is it the greatest case in american history, you have a loving husband and father, his daughter is 81 years old, she's a retired judge in st. louis, his son is the current president of the teamsters. they do not need any more pain. they deserve to know what happened to their father. the great teamsters of this country deserve to know what happened to this iconic labor leader, and i think, arthel, the nation deserves to know finally. and i think the truth is in those files that will show who shot him. because the fbi, they're still hiding a lot. arthel: i believe that you will get the files released. great work, eric. eric: we'll see what happens. arthel: the president's listening. hook him up, president trump.

♪ ♪ arthel: well, the holiday shopping season is now in full swing, and local stores across the country are celebrating

small business saturday. the event encourages bargain hunters to buy from their communities' brick and mortar stores. but it comes as many americans than ever are doing most of their shopping online. let's bring in the president of leventhal global advisers. first of all, dominic, why is it so important to support small businesses and restaurants? >> two reasons. the first is most of the hiring, very little of this is a stat, but most of the hiring done in this country is done by small businesses, people that employ less than 100 employees. if you want the economy to grow and you want job growth, you really want to support that small business owner. second, most of the money that small business owner collects in that store stays in the community. almost 70 cents out of every dollar spent whether they hire locally, they spend locally, they go to the local restaurants, they live in the local community. you want to support these

people. arthel: absolutely, great answer. how, though, can mom and pop businesses survive in the face of amazon? >> look, if you're going to go head to head with -- and many companies have tried to do this, large companies, you're going to lose. you can't compete on price. where you have to compete is on that personal experience, that service. when somebody walks in the door and you know them on a first name basis or you know what they like and whether it's a style of clothing or food or the kind of coffee, you want to create that relationship, you want to create that bond with that customer. and let me tell you, facebook charges a lot of money to give that data away as part of their data collection. arthel: yeah. >> here the local business owner knows their customers. arthel: i love it. if someone is considering starting an independent business, what's your advice? >> you do have to get technology involved, you've got to have a web site, use mailings, e-mails.

at the end of the day, you need to be unique. you can't be competing against walmart and target and amazon. you have to offer a product or a service that is unique. customizable, personal, personal experience, food, bread, desserts, something that you can't buy on a web site. you want to show up at the store and experience it firsthand. arthel: this is something nice when you go into your local store or dry cleaners and they say, hey, and they call you by your name, and they know your family. it's great. good stuff, dominic, thank you. >> my pleasure. happy holidays to all. arthel: to you as well. eric? eric: absolutely. thanks, domny and arthel. it is the busiest travel time of the year. millions are now bracing for some serious slowdown. what you need to know about what's coming ahead straight ahead here on the fox news chant. i visualize travel rewards. i receive travel rewards.

arthel: extreme weather threatening holiday travel plans. storms on both coasts could make for a snowy, rainy, and wet commute. eric: thank you for joining us, i'm eric shawn. the wintry weather promises to snarl traffic and lead to right? cancellations. it's predicted to be one of the busiest travel days of the year. the storm out west could lead to flash flooding in northern california this weekend while a second storm is marching through the country's heartland and is expected to slam the northeast with a mix of rain and snow tomorrow. let's go to jacqui heinrich who is in the new york city newsroom. what can we next this holiday

travel? >> this is a powerful system there are blamed for three deaths. there are three areas of heavy snowfall happening now through monday night. the california mountains, the upper midwest and the northeast. in california's high desert snow capped off a long fire season. in arizona a tornado and flash flooding near phoenix. an rv cot swept away. rescuers later found the bodies of two children including a 5-year-old boy and another child is still missing. blizzard conditions. and calling the storm historic. a snowy car crash killed one person in south dakota. a section of interstate 80 was

closed in nebraska. from providence to boston, 6 inches of snow is possible starting tomorrow. furthered south to philly. another system forming off the mid-atlantic, which means bad news for 55 million people traveling for thanksgiving. the most since 2005. airports have clocked 300 cancellations today. 34 flights are canceled for tomorrow. airlines are offering change fee waivers for cities in the northeast and the midwest. >> our airlines canceled flights in advance based off the storm. you can see all around us, really heavy winds and low visibility. just for the safety our passengers, the airlines decided to do that. but they are making plans to reschedule flights to get folks where they need to go.

reporter: the national weather service is warning people in the path of this storm not to be on the road if you don't have to. arthel: now for a closer look at conditions across our nation, lauren? reporter: it's not good timing. so many people are traveling to the midsection of the country. the local storm forecasting up to a couple feet of total snowfall. you are getting lake-effect snow enhancement into the u.p. of michigan. blizzard warnings remain in place throughout the evening impacting thousands in the upper plains and midwest. this is prompting severe weather potential going forward into

saturday evening. the center. notice the watches are dropping out, but they are expanding east tiered memphis, mississippi. we have thunderstorm warnings currently in place due to 60-mile-per-hour wind gust. this is jogging into the northeast saturday and sunday. anybody who has to travel, conditions will rapidly go down hill. significant ice accumulation from central pennsylvania into western upstate new york. the ice storm warnings, and then on top of that. 1-2 feet of total snowfall. from the hudson valley to northern new jersey we are speaking of ice accumulations on top of all of this snow. we'll have more weather forecasts coming up in the next

hour. eric: now to the terrorist attack that occurred on the london bridge. isis claiming responsibility for the stabbing rampage that killed two people and wounded five others. the incident started at a nearby conference aped at reeducated bringser ins. the suspect apparently one of them want to go bring isis back to the forefront. baghdad. liz: wabag -- abu bakr al-baghdt month. >> authorities have revised the casualty toll. two people died from stab wound and another five were wound. kahn came from the kashmir

region of pakistan. he was apparently radicalized through the internet and the videos of al-awlaki. many of his videos remain online. >> some 24 work every day to keep us safe every day. reporter: but many argue it was the lack of ridge lens by the england court system that aloud him to be free. he was on supervised release after being sentenced to life in prison for plotting to bomb the london stock exchange. >> it's extraordinary that you

have a convicted terrorist sentenced originally for life, actually, by a judge who recommended he never be released. >> we can never avoid 100% of them, but the kind of defense this president has put in place unlike his predecessor who was inviting people in, massive numbers of syrian refugees that were unvetted. reporter: british prime minister boris johnson has been on record advocating for tougher sentences for violent offenders. arthel: we are bringing in dr. grant. we have been reporting on the terror attacks in london. i want to get your assessment of this latest attack. >> in a way this attack -- this

was a suspect who had been put behind bars for plotting to blow up targets in london. in this case he did not get a lot of help from other isis cells. remember the tragic manchester attack? that group had a lot of help from another isis cell in west germany. that didn't happen, i'm glad to say. and it's because stamping out the caliphate has cut a lot of the european terrorists off. we want to be careful when we have got someone there, and this was a mistake to release him as boris johnson said. but i'm impressed with the vigilance of the londoners who jumped on the attack. vigilance. and we have to remember this is a persistent ideology. they want that harder come. -- they want that martyrdom.

president trump announced talks with the taliban are back on. i ask you what concessions or agreements can president trump expect the taliban to offer and should the afghan president be included in the talks? >> at the end of the summer they were very, very close to an agreement between the u.s. and taliban to have a ceasefire. this is trump's signature difference in the afghanistan talks. he agreed unlike obama to negotiate directly with the taliban. that's step one. on the thanksgiving trip trump met with the afghan president to say we have to get the ceasefire in place. arthel: president trump being aggressive leaning forward. but you remember president trump

got a lot of flack saying you don't talk to the enemy. engage the world's deadly terror group. the taliban overtakes isis for the top spot. taliban is responsibility for 38% of all terrorist deaths. isis, 12%. what is the best way forward for this to work? >> our commanding general in afghanistan said a year ago that in military terms this was coming to be a stalemate. so what we are looking here here is a ceasefire. it won't transform afghanistan, but the idea is to let afghanistan's army and police get a ceasefire where they can control security in that

country. thank you to is a member. they will be there to uphold the ceasefire if it goes into place. blue clearly the intent of the ceasefire is to give afghanistan's government a situation where they can be responsible for the security in that part of the country. dr. grant, always a pleasure. thank you. eric: former nfl wide receiver terrell pryor was stabbed several times at 4:30 this morning. a woman is in police custody in connection to this incident. he's now a free agent. he was released by the jacksonville jaguars in september. arthel: in the netherlands police say a 35-year-old homeless man is in custody after three teenagers were stabbed.

the victims, two 15-year-old girls and a 13-year-old boy were treated and released at the hospital. the suspect's identity has not been released and they don't believe it's terror related. eric: a desperate plea for a man held in lebanon. coming up we talk to his daughters about their tireless effort to bring him home. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for.

bring him home. he's a naturalized u.s. citizen. you see him with president trump. he was arrested in his native lebanon. foreign authorities say he served in the army during israel's occupation. the u.s. state department spokesman telling fox news, we are aware of the detention of the u.s. citizen amer fakhoury in lebanon. we'll continue to monitor mr. fawroury's case closely. i know how difficult this has been for you, this detention, him being held.

he and your mom went on a tourist visit to go home? >> yes his first vacation in 15 years to see his family. eric: did he expect any trouble? was he told anything? or did this come as a total surprise? >> it was a total surprise. he had a confirmation from the judiciary system in lebanon claiming he had no legal charges against him. eric: despite that how did you find out he was taken and he's in prison? >> his passport got detained for back ground checking. and he saw his friend and it was very emotional. they told him to go back to pick up this passport and that's the last time we saw him. eric: you are told that he's in

a prison with potential torture. >> prior to going to lebanon my father had no charges against him. my father does logistics. he was never involved with torturing other prisoners. eric: what is this like for you which you found out he was being held. >> it's very difficult. i was in lebanon at the time. it completely flipped our lives. our family has been mentally, physically and financially drained. and they don't deserve this. my father is such a hard working man. he came here for a better life for his family. he's a hard worker and i pray to god he comes home. eric: he owns the lebanese

toronto and has been active in politics. ways your appeal to the investigators on this case? >> their help is really need. especially because my dad's health is deteriorating. he lost over 60 pounds. he's in a critical condition. he needs to be with his family being treated in america. >> have you had any indication of legal proceedings? is there a timetable for a trial or is he just being smelled. >> he's been held without any charges. they found him collapsed in his cell. he's very ill. and he needs to be with us getting treated in america. this is very critical right now. we ask president trump and the u.s. government to help. because this situation cannot

take any delays. >> have you had any indication in terms of what comes next, what lebanese authorities may do, and what do you fear. >> to be honest, i don't know what's going to happen. i fear i may never see my father again. it's really hard, especially with christmas coming. if anyone can help, please help us get him back home as soon as possible. eric: his lawyer says the allegations against him are fabricated. he's innocent in this issue. he says the u.s. government needs to act fast before it's too late. girks a and doia, we thank you for joining us. any final word you have to the lebanese government and the white house. >> i ask the u.s. government to help us bring them home. my dad is not the guy you see in

the picture anymore. he lost so much weight you won't recognize him anymore his health is at stake. we begged president trump to help us getting him back home. eric: . gia and zoia, whose father is being held in lebanon. it's a plea i know will resonate through our country. we hope for your father's speedy return. >> thank you for having us. arthel: a judge agrees to delay her ruling that white house counsel don mcghan cannot delay testifying. 448,134 to be exact.

[♪]

arthel: congressional lawmakers and the white house are gearing up for the start of a new round of impeachment hearings. jerry nadler sent a letter to president trump yesterday inviting his counsel to participate in the hearings and giving the president until friday to decide whether he wants to request witnesses or make a presentation. the president is spending the holiday weekend at mar-a-lago. reporter: republicans are asking chairman nadler for a level playing field as we move into this new phase of the impeachment inquiry. wednesday over on capitol hill there will be a hearing about the constitutionality of the process. there are concerns among some republicans that it won't be a balanced process. that's wednesday. on the 6th the white house needs to declare its intention to participate.

that would include any evidence of witnesses it intend to produce. that same deadline applies to republican lawmakers. november 9, that's when we expect mr. nadler to consider the matter. they say what happened in the adam schiff-led intel committee hearings could be replicated. they are complaining chairman nadler has the ability to approve or reject any requests for witnesses. there are concerns about that. however, democrats say they would like to wrap this whole process up, they would like to make a decision vis-a-vis censure or impeachment. if it's a former it means we'll be looking ahead to january for a possible senate trial. but the real rub about that, we have the iowa caucuses coming up. there are a number of people

pushing back that maybe they wanted to extend this beyond christmas. we'll see how it plays out the next couple days. eric: a federal judge is granting a justice department request for a temporary pause of her own ruling. that ruling that don mcghan needs to appear before the house committee. what does it mean for the impeachment inquiry? what does the doj raise in terms of its opposing this for don mcghan. >> the justice department attorneys are arguing the president should be allowed have aids that are not splashed over to congress. he ought to be able to get advice from counsel and senior

aids. this is a long-running thing, right? presidents and congress have had arguments about secrets and what has to be kept secret and what can be disclosed. that's been a point of conception. and yet we don't have a lot of guidance, we don't have a lot of case law about how those things are supposed to work. so this case, if it goes to the supreme court in time for it to be relevant could answer a lot of questions about the gray area in the separation of powers. eric: what does congress say? that they have the purview in that they have the legal right to do that? >> both sides are arguing they have the purview. there is a similar case dating back to the bush administration. it was his white house counsel,

harriet meyerss, that was a case the district court went against the president and compel the harriet miers to testify. but that case was settled before it got to appeal. can the president shield these people from the subpoena? it's not clear. eric: it pits the power of the presidency against congressional mandates. this is what the "wall street journal" said. the sweeping ruling essentially eliminates a right to confidentiality between a president and his most senior advisers. we hope this goes to the supreme court. the constitution ask's separation of power assumes coequal branches that would each vigorously defend its own interests. shouldn't it be congress' right

to summon white house aides and presidential aides into congress to raise their right hand? >> that's the rub. this is not like a president trump issue. president barack obama's administration had a similar interpretation of how this was supposed to go. bush had a similar interpretation. this is a long-running thing. there is also beyond the legal arguments which are interesting in and of themselves. what this judge is saying in this case, you can't stop the white house counsel from showing up, they have to respond to the subpoena. but they get to assert executive privilege when they get there. you could have a scenario if this case went against the president, but don mcghan may assert his right on executive privilege on these questions the

democrats want to ask him about. there are questions about the practicality of his testimony. >> meanwhile, could you explain executive privilege? we heard about that in the nixon administration. >> it was the nixon v news it was about the tapes. in releasing those tapes was the first time a judge, the justice established executive privilege as a thing, dating back to george wash it has been insnroakd one manner or another. but in the watergate case that allowed the president to draw a ring around certain decisions and deliberative discussions that he had with senior aides to keep that from the view of congress as a coequal branch. but how that gets applied or how it works sort of the particulars

of it, there are still a lot of open questions. for instance, can it be applied former officials. can it be applied to something the president has seen or hasn't seen. a lot of questions about how executive privilege can be applied. >> what do you expect will happen. what do you predict with this senate impeachment trial breathing down our necks. >> in terms of this case, it has been stayed. the decision is on hold. and i think the arguments are set up for early january. you could be look at arguments in this case while a trial gets under way. in the past a lot of these cases have been negotiated and that's why we don't have a lot of case law. that's one potential outcome. the other factor working against this is the timeline. both parties want to see this wrapped up pretty quick.

both democrats have an interest to see this. and the white house does, too. eric: thank you. always good to see you. arthel: democratic presidential candidates are back on the campaign trail. some of them looking to shore up support in the early caucus state of iowa. joe biden kick off an 8-day bus tour while kamala harris is touting a new round of endorsements there. hi, christina. reporter: biden's bus tour is under way in council bluffs, iowa. he just slammed president trump saying trump embraces tyrants and dictators around the world.

he has some ground to gain in iowa and he's trying to do so with this bus tour. his campaign just announced that his workers are unionized. and he explained the significance of our bus name. we call it malarkey because the other guy is all lies. the rural part of this state and rural america is forgotten in most campaigns. reporter: senator kamala harris is polling fifth in the hawkeye state. she says nothing has been gained in america without a fight. >> yes, we are going to fight. are you kidding me? of course we are going to fight. we are a nation that was born out after fight.

nothing we have achieved that has been about flog our nation came without a fight. reporter: despite the reports of discontent among her campaign after, she did get the endorsement of the teachers. eric:' mayor is is seizing he one gun every 10 minutes in chicago. may your holidays glow bright and all your dreams take flight. lease the c 300 sedan for just $399 a month
