>> yes, we do have team coverage. our chief foreign correspondent terry moran starts us off from london. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it is an eerie scene, this heart of london. usually such a bustling area but now a crime scene. roped off by police tape. this is where it ended. right there under the shadow of big ben where the attacker was killed and we know now he was british born. homegrown terror inspired by islamist ideology and acting alone although authorities are withholding his identity. for the moment. those raids overnight here in london, up in birmingham resulting in eight arrests as authorities try to get to the bottom and unravel the worst terrorist attack in the united kingdom in more than a decade. mayhem in the streets of london. the moment the terrorist attacks. tourists fleeing gunshots at parliament.

victims strewn across the westminster bridge. bystanders frantically trying to save the wounded. the attack unfolded 2:40 wednesday afternoon. watch on the security camera video. you can see a gray hyundai barreling down the packed bridge aiming for pedestrians. one woman falling or jumping off the bridge there. that woman seriously injured but this morning she's alive. >> a car speeding up straightaway. the first hit even the second people and the third time he was doing, no one realized it. as he done it in and out zigzag. >> reporter: crashing into a railing just outside parliament before fleeing his car charging the gates and stabbed an unarmed police officer who confronted him. police then shooting the attacker. >> there were bodies literally -- must have been like 10. 10 bodies. >> reporter: tourists trapped in the london eye watching the carnage unfold below. >> more sirens so i knew something big happened. >> reporter: this american born politician tobias ellwood trying

to save that police officer. performing cpr and giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. inside the government on lockdown. >> this house is now suspended but please wait here. >> reporter: britain's prime minister rushed away to safety later addressing a shocked nation. >> the location of this attack was no accident. the terrorist chose to strike at the heart of our capital city. >> reporter: in all three were killed and the assailant was killed and at least 40 injured including a group of french teenagers on a class trip. >> it was super hectic. you could see people running around. people looked scared. >> reporter: among the deceased that brave police officer keith palmer, a 15 year-veteran stabbed and succumbing to his injuries. so, while police are still processing this vast crime scene, one final note, parliament is back at business under big ben in the houses of parliament there. a sign they will not be cowed. we are not afraid is the slogan

you hear again and again around london today. amy. >> all right, terry, thank you. as we just heard, that suspect was known to authorities. british prime minister called the violence a sick and depraved terrorist attack. let's go to abc's alex marquardt with the latest on the investigation right now. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, amy. that's right. he was also a british national and a short time ago isis claimed responsibility but not clear what links this attacker had. overnight raids carried out in london, the city of birmingham and elsewhere as police and intelligence services hunt for information on the background of the attacker and any possible ties to terror groups. the uk's top counterterrorism official announcing this morning eight were arrested in the six raids carried out. this birmingham apartment searched by the authorities, it's still unclear what links those arrested had to the attacker. a witness who works near that apartment saying, quote, the man from london lived here.

the bbc reporting that the gray hyundai suv that the attacker used to plow into pedestrians on westminster bridge was rented in a nearby suburb. little has been revealed about the identity of the attacker. seen here after he was shot by police. >> continues to go on with our investigation that this attacker acted alone inspired by international terrorism. ♪ >> reporter: this attack happening on the anniversary of last year's deadly isis bombings in brussels. counterterror officials say 13 plots have been thwarted in the uk in the past four years but stopping a lone wolf using such basic terror tactics can be next to impossible. >> it's very hard to prevent an attack, if you like, a lone attack happening once an individual is inspired to carry one out. if you haven't got the intelligence to know it is happening it is very, very hard to prevent lives from being lost once the attack actually takes place. >> reporter: until now the uk

has been spared the terror attacks that we've seen across europe over the past two years. for now officials say there are no known plots in the works, but the threat level is at its second highest level meaning they believe there's a high chance of more attacks to come. robin. >> alex, thank you. we'll bring in martha raddatz who we know that authorities are saying that attacks seems to be linked to islamic terrorism. you're saying isis is maybe getting squeezed and getting desperate. >> reporter: they are. if you look at what is happening on the battlefields it looks bad for isis and have lost more than 60% of the terrain they once controlled in iraq. 30% in syria and they've lost tens of thousands of their fighters in the targeted strikes. but it really does seem that the greater the success that the u.s. and its allies are having on the battlefield the more desperate isis becomes. you've heard those isis leaders say to followers if they can't carry out attacks with

explosives or firearms they should use knives or cars or whatever they can. >> are they still largely recruiting online and if so, how is the administration responding. >> reporter: secretary of state rex tillerson said this week the goal is to stop isis from getting its message out. but that is a very tough goal. although they've made progress but if you just look at the numbers in britain alone, they have some 850 people who have traveled to syria and iraq to support isis and about half of those have now returned to britain and as we have seen far too many time, robin, it only takes one to reek horrible destruction. >> you're right, martha. thank you, michael. >> security here at home is stepping up in response to the attack and pierre thomas has more from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, michael. some major cities including new york are stepping up security at landmarks but this morning our sources are saying there's no intelligence pointing to a

specific plot here at home. but make no mistake stabbings and attacks by vehicles are among the biggest concerns law enforcement officials have in terms of terror. right in my hands here are four different bulletins warning about attacks involving vehicles or knives. that's exactly what isis has been calling for and it's working. there have been at least 14 vehicle attacks since 2014 including the horrific massacre in nice, france, the berlin christmas market nightmare and here at home at ohio state when a suspect hit pedestrians and then stabbed multiple people, michael. >> pierre, how would the u.s. law enforcement, how are they responding? >> reporter: the good news is u.s. law enforcement has been thinking about and preparing for these kind of attacks for years. in new york city, during the times square new year's celebration dump trucks and others were put up to prevent access and dump trucks were used at the republican national convention. the bad news, every day cars are traveling along streets full of pedestrians. how do you protect those people?

>> we'll have a lot more on the attack just ahead. now let's turn to the battle over health care. the house is scheduled to hold that crucial vote on the republican bill today. and negotiations are coming down to the wire. our congressional correspondent mary bruce has the latest, joins us from capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. well, it was a late night of negotiating here and this morning republican leaders are still struggling to unite their party. now, there are signs of optimism but still no firm agreement. >> easy, guys. >> reporter: overnight republicans scra negotiate as it hits a wall. >> we think there are ways to improve it that will get enough votes, but so far we don't have any language. >> reporter: the bill's opponents huddling late into the night but this morning still no deal. >> i'm not going to stay up all night trying to get this worked out without anticipating a vote tomorrow. >> reporter: signs of progress

from the conservative opponents but changes offered to satisfy the right risk jeopardizing the moderates and this morning, the list of nos is growing. by our count at least 30 republicans still oppose. more than enough votes to kill the bill in the house. it's been a frantic push to the finish. >> guys, stop pushing. guys, stop pushing. >> reporter: the president and vice president have been working the phones making in person pitches but it doesn't seem to be working. >> it's not going to pass as it stands right now unless they make major changes to it. >> reporter: hold-outs are demanding changes. among other things conservatives want the bill to further lower premiums. republican leaders and the white house are open to negotiations but they're also adamant, this is their best shot to overhaul obamacare. >> there's no plan b. there's a plan a and plan a. we'll get this done. >> reporter: but it's unclear if they can overcome the resistance. >> thank you, everybody. mr. president, if the house and people like their doctor can they keep their doctor?

>> reporter: the president is lobbying hard and he'll meet with conservative hold-outs at the white house while on capitol hill the speaker will huddle with his members as they try to strike a deal. robin. >> all that going on, still expecting a vote by tonight? >> reporter: yeah, that vote is still a go even though many republicans say this bill still isn't going anywhere. >> mary, thank you. all right, now to that stunning moment in washington. a top lawmaker on the house intelligence committee telling the press that surveillance of the trump team may have happened incidentally. president trump is responding and abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has all of those details. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning. this was an extraordinary public display of what is usually secret information and it has reignited the debate over the validity of the president's wiretapping claims. he says he feels somewhat vindicated but so many others on capitol hill say not so fast. >> good morning.

>> reporter: the top republican on the house intelligence committee delivering this claim in front of the cameras. >> on numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected information about u.s. citizens involved in the trump transition. >> reporter: devin nunes says during the surveillance of foreign nationals, u.s. intelligence officials may have inadvertently picked up the communications of president trump's transition team, possibly even the president himself. >> i guess it all depends on the one definition of spying. i mean clearly it bothers me enough, i'm not comfortable with it. >> reporter: nunes offering few details but saying the communications are not related to the fbi's investigation into the campaign and russia. making the surprise announcement to the media even before he told the intelligence community or other members of his committee. nunes, a prominent member of the president's transition team, then went straight to the oval office to deliver the news directly to the president himself. and then he did another round of

press. >> what i've read bothers me and i think it should bother the president himself and his team. >> reporter: the president calling it vindication for his baseless twitter claims that president obama wiretapped him. >> do you feel vindicated by chairman nunes? >> i somewhat do. i must tell you i somewhat do >> even if president trump was caught in legal surveillance, that's a far cry from the allegation that his predecessor illegally wiretapped him. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee blasting his republican counterpart calling for an independent investigation. >> there is still no evidence that the president was wiretapped by his predecessor. >> reporter: and the calls for an independent investigation are growing louder and it is not just democrats, republican senator john mccain now says congress no longer has the

credibility to independently investigate russia's role in the election, robin. >> all right. thank you so much, we'll bring in our chief white house correspondent jon karl. i know you have a lot to say about that. you heard what cecilia just said about what congressman nunes said. an extraordinary moment. what has been the response from the white house to his statements? >> reporter: well, you've heard the president say he feels somewhat vindicated. but as chairman nunes made it clear, he was talking about so-called incidental collection, absolutely nothing that he says he has found as he said would prove the allegations that trump tower was wiretapped. more seriously. the impact of his actions yesterday of chairman nunes' actions yesterday raise questions about whether or not his committee can conduct a bipartisan and impartial investigation about the russian interference in the election. he ran down to the white house yesterday to brief the president on what he found. robin, that's the kind of thing you would expect a white house staffer to do, not the chairman of a committee that is investigating the white house

itself or associates of the white house. >> there was a lot of talk yesterday about paul manafort and what he -- the supposed ties between him and that billionaire in russia and possible links with putin. is the white house concerned about these revelations? >> reporter: i'll let you hear directly from the white house on this. i don't sense any concern at all and asked about it yesterday. here's the exchange. >> i don't know to look back right now and to say, if we knew now what we know then would we have done things differently. that's a question the president would have to weigh. >> you're saying he didn't know. >> of course not. >> something he would want to know, wouldn't he? >> maybe. maybe not. >> so the white house is saying that the president didn't know about manafort's connections and maybe, maybe not wouldn't even have wanted to know about them. >> how about the health care bill, of course, that's very much on the docket for tonight possibly and what does president trump feel his chances are at this point?

>> reporter: you heard mary bruce say there are now more than enough republicans against this to kill the bill but i tell you, do not count out president trump on this. he is a few votes shy, maybe a dozen but i believe that he -- i think he's got a good chance of getting it done and they are confident here. >> thanks so much. going to go to ginger with severe weather that is moving into the plains. >> that's right, robin. you know that same low pressure system now in the rockies, in the wake of it we've got this in santa maria, california, north of santa barbara, cold air funnel, a little less dangerous than a tornado and can see some circulation. turbulent atmosphere. in the wake of a storm.atow mov that line starts up in parts of the texas and oklahoma panhandles and has to look out for damaging winds and isolated tornadoes and tomorrow through the day dallas, houston, little rock all in the severe weather threat.

my nephew played at baylor, but he's no longer there so it's okay. that emotional win over duke, i mean, and to see your players, how they responded and doused you and everything and just the emotion that you showed. just tell us what that moment meant to you. >> yeah, you know, robin, as both of you remember back, you know, you show up in college and you're kind of 17, 18 years old and it's hard to have a conversation with a coach because you don't know how to do it. and all of a sudden those kids that signed up four years ago, five years ago and now they're seniors and now i sit down and i have grown men conversations with them and to know that they came here when we weren't very good and never gave in to losing and grew and came in every day and all they wanted was like, frank, guide me. what do we need to do and here four years later not only are we playing to go to the sweet 16 but they had the courage to go beat duke and coach k, you know,

as a coach, i'm looking down there and i'm seeing k going what am i doing here. >> oh, come on. >> i'm just telling you, he's one of the guys i grew up idolizing. the players, they've never been on that stage. they walk out and you got to have courage to have the belief that you cannot just win that game but look over there and see coach k and duke. you got to have courage. >> that's true. >> just thinking about -- i had some flashbacks. >> ah. >> listening to you, coach. >> put me in, coach. >> you had fallen behind early in a situation you feel, wow, this is kind of over my head. you know your players are young and never been in that situation against a team like duke. what do you say to them at halftime or during the game or in the fourth quarter when it's crucial that you held on for that win. >> yeah, you know, michael, i think the biggest misconception that exists, not just with me but most coaches is we come into halftime and throw chairs and punch walls. >> we watch movies. >> you know. you're not in that game unless you have an unbelievable group

of kids that believe in what you're doing. and i walked in and i said to them, i said, hey, you guys are the ones playing. not me. i'm sitting here watching you. defensively do you think we can do this. he said we got them. i said, i see that so just relax. our guys were so nervous we're missing shots early in the game. i said, just relax. somebody, have courage and make one shot. and it's going to relax everybody. we're okay and then we went out and when they called time-out, because we had the breakaway dunk to cut it to one we were in our huddle and i looked -- i'm looking at my guys and i'm seeing their eyes and i'm thinking to myself, these guys really think that we're winning this thing. this is unbelievable. and i know just kept going and we closed it out. unbelievable. >> now, i know sometimes and it's so silly when people -- is there going to be a letdown? you had this big win and will you have a big letdown against baylor. you're playing in new york city. how do you keep them up? >> that's my job. they're kids.

you know, even though some of them we just said they've become men and i can have certain conversations, all this is new to them. you know, the moment, that's my job. i have to make sure that i'm a big believer in communication. that's my educational background. you have to communicate. i say this to my staff all the time. if we don't speak to our players every day about everything that matters someone else will. so don't get frustrated when they listen to someone else. especially in today's day and age of social media, there's so many voices, so many words in their heads, we have to make sure that we are articulating what we need from them every single day so they can stay consistent. >> don't you miss having a coach. listening to him. just talking back this those days. >> you got to come back, coach. you know, it's a special day. i love that you're not upset because you upset so many brackets. so happy with that and another reason, it is your birthday. it is your birthday. we need your wife to come over here and help us. come on. >> oh, my gosh.

millie would be sitting, oh, no, this is going to be another fantastic day of life and would take me outside and say hello to all the neighbors and there was a street person named maurice who used to hang out in one of the doorways and maurice, you know, he didn't relate that well to people but he related to her. we tried to give him food or a bottle of water and he wouldn't have it. so i taught millie to take a bottle of water from the deli and bring it to him and he took it from her. >> millii reminds me of my jack russell. i lost my parents, i lost my health. when i lost my dog. >> i know. >> whoo. i waited a little time after kj. we did a rescue with north shore and wanted a dog to pick us and lucas really did if that's the thing about loving dog, robin. people will ask me well how you take on that heartache every six, seven, 10, 15 years. and it's because i know that there's a dog out there that needs to be loved.

and i don't have any right to say no to that. it was so hard. so difficult to say good-bye to millie but she taught me acceptance and letting go and moving on. >> lessons of unconditional love from man's best friend. >> this is a book for people who have loved dogs in a way that they never expected and i want to tell them that there are others like you out there and if you find that there are certain days of your life when your dog is the most important thing, this is who i wrote the book for. >> you're not alone. >> you are not alone. >> you're not alone. ah. we're not alone. we're not alone right now. the dog that was buy edward's side was gracie. it's actually her birthday today. she's actually years old. >> happy birthday gracie. >> here in the studios the puppies have taken over. we have our own production assistants with us, yeah, take a look at the control room. yep. i knew it. i knew there was something different in there.
