dover, a port on the coast around two hours from here. from there you can travel to france, into europe and beyond. a senior police officer at scotland yard saying they are pleased with the progress made but the investigation continues. police say an 18-year-old man is in custody today in connection with a bomb that partially detonated on a packed subway car here in london friday morning. they called it "a significant arrest." the investigation ongoing in the incident authorities have called a terrorist attack. this was it. a crude bomb made in a bucket, seen moments later on the subway floor still in flames. >> the fire, the heat was so intense and the fireball just engulfed the whole tube carriage. like the whole carriage was orange coming towards us. >> i heard the word explosion and fire, and we were just trapped, and i thought i'm going to die. >> reporter: at least 29 people were injured, many with burns.

others after being trampled in the rush to escape. among them children on their way to school. but it could have been worse. authorities say the bomb did not fully explode. >> though the attack was relatively ineffective, it is part of a series of quickening attacks in london that not only worries officials in london and the uk but also in europe and in the united states. >> reporter: isis has claimed responsibility for the attack, but there's no evidence of their involvement. it is the fifth time this year britain has been a target for terror. including the suicide bombing at an ariana grande concert and a car and stabbing attack outside parliament. authorities say today's arrest will lead to more police activity after the security presence was stepped up across the country. britain raising its terrorist threat level to critical, warning another attack could be imminent. and a british security source tells nbc news that while the

detonator on this device appears to have fired the main charge did not, meaning that this could have been a far worse explosion, more people could have been maimed, even killed. craig, there are people with their families here this morning who are very, very lucky to be alive. >> keir simmons for us this morning at scotland yard. keir, thank you. >> jeremy bash is an nbc news national security analyst and former chief of staff at the cia and pentagon under president obama. jeremy, good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. >> we just heard an 18-year-old was arrested by police there in dover. do you expect more arrests in connection to this investigation? and essentially, do you think this is part of a wider cell or is this just a lone wolf? >> well, we definitely expect more arrests. what the police normally do here is they analyze the device, they look for fingerprints, they try to track cell phone conversations of people who are around the bomb at that area. they will look at the closed circuit television. they will analyze all the evidence. and then they'll sweep into a home or to a set of homes where that individual lived. they'll interview witnesses and they'll try to look at any evidence that links people to

that device. as for whether this is part of a wider network, i don't think we know yet. this was one individual who probably carried this out. it was a crude device. but we can't rule out that this was part of a larger plot. >> jeremy, we've seen attacks in barcelona, in london, in nice. and those attacks have been in touristy areas, if you will. this was in a neighborhood. what does that tell you? >> yeah, it is distressing, craig, because this is sort of like neighborhood terrorism. historically of course, terrorists have looked for iconic places to attack. think of course about the world trade center. think about the champs delees yay. this is more distressing. this may be more of a strategy, we don't know yet, may be part of a strategy for terrorists to instill fear not just at iconic locations, tourist locations but your neighborhood. >> if we pull back and look at the bigger picture i know you mentioned friday's attack was the fifth terrorist incident in britain this year.

obviously the threat level now is at critical. is this the new normal for london? >> unquestionably, across europe there has been this wave of attacks. low-tech attacks. probably directed and inspired by isis. i think unfortunately londoners have to realize that this is part of the new situation they are facing with the isis threat and they're just going to have to, as they say, stay calm and carry on. >> jeremy bash, always good to have your perspective, sir. >> thanks, jeremy. let's turn to the violent protests in st. louis where hundreds took to the streets to protest the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting death of a black suspect. at least ten officers were hurt. dozens of marchers were placed under arrest. nbc's blake mccoy is in st. louis with the latest on that. blake, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. some of these protesters came out with the express purpose of causing problems. agitators, as they're often referred to. clashing with police, throwing rocks and bricks at officers. ten officers injured and 32 people arrested.

overnight protesters turned violent in st. louis, where demonstrators converged on the mayor's house, tloekz at windhrt windows. police fighting back with tear gas. >> orders to disperse were given numerous times. tear gas was deployed after officers were assaulted with bricks and bottles. >> reporter: earlier in the day protesters damaged a police car, smashing in the front window. it followed the acquittal of former st. louis police officer jason stokley in the 2011 shooting death of anthony lamar smith. >> you don't get the right to kill an innocent person. you just don't get that right. >> reporter: during a 2011 police chase dash cam video captures the officer say he's going to kill smith, a suspected drug dealer. >> i don't recall saying it. but i never denied it. i can tell you with absolute certainty that there was no plan to murder anthony smith.

>> reporter: stokley claims when the chase ended he he saw smith reach for a gun and shot him. only the officer's dna was found on a gun in the car, leading to allegations that it was planted. the judge friday in acquitting the officer, wrote "this court in conscience cannot say that the state has proven every element of murder beyond a reasonable doubt." >> you have to make decisions. >> reporter: this morning in a new interview with the "st. louis post dispatch," stokley maintains he acted in self-defense and says he's pleased with the verdict. >> it feels like a burd zen len lifted. but the burden of having to kill someone never really lifts. >> reporter: several big events here in downtown st. louis this weekend have been canceled in light of the protests. protesters plan to gather once again at 10:00 a.m. this morning. and we are told the governor has put the national guard on standby should they become necessary. craig? >> blake mccoy in st. louis this morning. blake, thank you. president trump is at his

club in bedminster, new jersey this morning preparing to meet with world leaders next week at the united nations and this morning he's dealing with some big foreign policy challenges. a new missile launch this week in north korea and that terror attack in london. let's check in with nbc's kelly o'donnell following that story. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chanel. the president spoke by phone with britain's prime minister not long after the london terror incident. but his twitter diplomacy is being called into question after it appeared he might have shared some insider information. with a big foreign policy week coming up, friday the president was center stage embracing his role as commander in chief. ♪ surrounded by a show of american might, both to celebrate an air force anniversary and to send a message to adversaries. >> the regime of north korea, which has once again shown its utter contempt for its neighbors and for the entire world community.

>> reporter: after the latest provocative missile launch from kim jong un, the president turned pride into a warning. >> after seeing your capabilities and commitment here today, i am more confident than ever that our options in addressing this threat are both effective and overwhelming. >> reporter: back at the white house -- >> they continue to be provocative. they continue to be reckless. >> reporter: -- the president's u.n. ambassador and national security adviser said more pressure is needed. >> there is a military option. now, it's not what we prefer to do. >> reporter: as great britain confronts another terror incident, the president's quick twitter commentary turned heads. with this idea. "the internet is their main recruitment tool, which we must cut off." and he also appeared to say too much, referring to "a loser terrorist in the sights of scotland yard." british prime minister theresa may seemed displeased. >> does he know something we

don't? >> i never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation. >> reporter: but the white house said the president gave away no secrets. >> so i think if there was a terrorist attack here, god forbid, that we would say that they were in the sights of the fbi. so i think he didn't mean anything beyond that. >> reporter: and the president will head from his weekend new jersey home to new york city tomorrow to begin days of what will feel like nonstop meetings with world leaders and of course his first address to the united nations general assembly. chanel? >> kelly, thank you. first there was hurricane harvey. then hurricane irma. now yet another hurricane is threatening the united states. it's called jose, and it could have millions on the east coast in its sights. wnbc's david price is in for dylan this morning. another one? >> another one. and more behind that. we're in a very busy time in the atlantic. this is jose, guys. and you can see how close it is to the eastern seaboard of the united states. let's give you some detail on

it. let me step away and we'll go through it right now. it's a category 1 storm, 550 miles south-southeast of cape hatteras, north carolina. winds sustained at 80 and movement to the north and west right now at just about 9 miles per hour. now, we anticipate this storm may actually strengthen before too long. the big question on this one is when does it turn and how close does the eastern seaboard get to it? we don't imagine landfall as a high probability issue. but several coastal communities could be affected by it. we're watching the carolinas right now. cape hatteras tuesday in the wee hours of the morning. and then the tri-state area. specifically new york, connecticut, and sections of new england as well. we'll keep an eye on it. in the meantime watch for dangerous sifsh levels throughout florida and rip currents up and down the eastern seaboard. we'll update you on the rest of the tropical activity when we see you in just a few minutes. but right now back to you both at the desk. >> all right, dave, thank you. we'll get your national forecast in just a moment. now to some other stories

outscoring opponents 142-37 and 22 wins. >> nothing but history here in cleveland, baby. thursday night the team broke baseball's american league record in dramatic fashion, winning on the last play in extra innings. >> 22 consecutive games. >> i've been waiting for this day my entire life. i love the tribe! >> reporter: this morning cleveland coming up just sort of sports immortality. just a few days away from the longest streak ever in the majors. the 1916 new york giants won 26 games straight. >> i don't think anything's over. to me this is kind of a jumping off point. >> reporter: no matter what, a journey neither fans nor history will ever forget. >> go tribe! >> reporter: for "today" steve patterson, nbc news. let's check in with dave now. he has a look at the rest of the country's forecast. >> we've got some snow to talk about. >> what? >> that's right. let's go to the tape. let me show you exactly what we're dealing with. it is montana.

needed snow in montana, actually, after this summer's wildfires. we're taking a look right now at mcdonald pass, which sits at an elevation of about 6,300 feet. it's just west of helena. rogers pass, which is about 1,000 feet lower in elevation than mcdonald's pass-s also receiving some snow. let's talk about it a little with the national map. the snow is beginning to subside right around west yellowstone. keep in mind as we head to sections of the upper midwest into minnesota could see some strong storms roll through. kansas city, you could get some as well. again, warm temperatures for much of the country right now. keep in mind we are seeing temperatures five to ten degrees above where they should be. so we're about 2/3 of the u.s. th and feeling a bit more like fall around the bay area this morning. 49 degrees in napa, 50s elsewhere and as we head through the afternoon, we'll see inland temperatures fairly comfortable, 70s so 80s.

we are back on a saturday morning with "the download," our look back at the week's biggest stories and other headlines you may have missed. >> a tragic school shooting in washington and hillary clinton made her first live tv appearance since losing the election. of course, it all began with hurricane irma's fury. monster of a storm. >> hurricane irma unleashed its wrath on florida. >> streets turned to rivers, waves rising over the highways. >> and the wind is pounding very strongly right now. >> this is the eyewall hitting right now. oh, that hurt. >> storm chaser justin drakes spoke on "today" about facing irma's fury. >> it was by far the strongest winds i've ever experienced. >> out of the destruction rose humanity. >> this is why a lot of people join the navy, to do this sort of thing. >> neighbor helping neighbor in every way they knew how.

inadvertently hit the "like" button. >> texas senator ted cruz blaming a staffer for mistakenly liking a pornographic video on his official twitter account, joking that the attention would have helped during the election. >> perhaps we should have posted something like this back during the indiana primary. apple unveiled its latest masterpiece, the iphone x. >> it is the biggest leap forward since the original iphone. >> powerful and pricey at $1,000, the company's crown jewel is all glass. some of the week's most incredible moments caught on camera, a plane crashed into a tree in connecticut and flipped over on to the parking lot below. the 79-year-old pilot suffered only minor injuries. as irma rolled in to georgia, this dramatic video captured a car crashing right into a falling tree. >> the driver in the suv tries to hit the brakes, but cannot stop in time. we're told she was shaken up, but is okay. and pope francis lost his balance on the pope mobile,

we're back on a saturday morning, september 16th, 2017. we'll begin this half hour with a check of the headlines and a lot of overnight breaking news. high alert. british officials have arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with that explosion on the london underground friday. officials there raising the threat level to critical following the attack that hurt at least 29 people. >> no peace! and nine police officers were injured and at least 23 people were arrested after protests erupt in st. louis overnight. >> you don't get that right to kill an innocent person. you just don't get that right. >> demonstrators took to the streets friday, protesting the

acquittal of former police officer jason stokley, who was found not guilty in the fwv shooting death of anthony lamar smith. less than a week after hurricane irma roared ashore in florida, hurricane jose is now churning in the atlanta. although not expected to make landfall in the u.s., jose could bring some heavy surf and rip currents from florida to new england. what a run. >> we'll get them in the postseason. >> we love our indians. >> the cleveland indians' incredible 22-game winning streak came to an end friday night as they fell to the royals 4-3. and the radio host under fire for an inappropriate comment on cnn. >> i believe in only two things completely. the first amendment and boobs. >> what did you just say? you believe in -- >> the anchor shutting the interview down saying later comments like that are never okay. >> today saturday september 16th, 2017. also this morning,

storm-weary residents throughout florida will be quite busy this weekend, cleaning up in the wake of hurricane irma. but it's the caribbean where the storm delivered its biggest blow with entire islands virtually decimated. irma ravaged so many of the caribbean islands from barbuda to turks and caicos, puerto rico and more. nbc's stephanie ruehl traveled to the u.s. virgin islands and got a firsthand look at what those folks are dealing with. >> reporter: hurricane irma destroyed so much of st. john but not its spirit. >> we will get through this. one way or the other, we will. >> that's my house right there. >> reporter: ian samuels recalls the moment the storm hit. >> it was underneath my house, i could listen to my house fall apart upstairs. but i have my kids. i had my wife there with me. so i have to be strong. >> reporter: it's been over a week since irma struck, but life is far from being back to normal. more than 90% of the water and power distribution systems are damaged. recent rains have caused flash

floods and mudslides. and schools could be closed for a year. one of the things that's the most stunning, the vegetation gone. a week ago this was lush and green. now it looks completely burnt out. it truly looks like a war zone. >> reporter: the island is dependent on tourism. at least 60% of its income comes from visitors to the caribbean island paradise. but at least in the short term that number will drop. >> i work at the westin, and that was destroyed. so i don't have a job right now. >> reporter: tara was told it could take a year or more to rebuild the hotel. but in the meantime, she will likely have to leave the island to find work, and she's not the only one. >> a lot are leaving currently as we speak. there are boats going to st. croix and tortola daily. >> but some islanders rbtd going anywhere. >> we're here for the long haul. we're going to rebuild and make it better. >> that's the spirit of this island p being the small three virgin islands we have to be self-sufficient at times. i look at this as an opportunity. i just want focus on what we

need to do moving forward. >> and joining us now stephanie ruehl fresh off that trip to the caribbean. steph, good morning. >> good morning. >> what do they need most down there? >> they need us not to forget them. you know, they are the u.s. virgin islands but there's not industry down there. they say it's 60% of their economy is tourism. when i talk to people, it's like 90%. and there are people i spoke to that said i work in the hotel industry, i'm going to just have to leave, they're not going to have power back, water back. it could be a year. so people who think of the virgin islands as their paradise, we cannot forget those islands are there, they're u.s. territories, and those people need us. >> i'm looking at this video, everything is just flattened. what did you see there as far as help is concerned? did you see a large military presence? fema? >> i mean, things are flattened. roofs look like crumbled pieces of paper on the ground. there's power lines down everywhere and there's no way to communicate because there's no cell service. and the funny thing is there was a little bit of military presence, not as much as you could think.

like yes, at the food distribution center. but the beautiful thing, it was communities. st. john, i didn't know this, is known as the city of love. i was with people who lost their home a week ago, haven't even thought about their own houses and they're clearing streets. they're trying to do anything they can to bring food and shelter to their neighbors. and remember, it's still hurricane season. it is pouring down rain. so there's mudslides. there's not enough tarps. the homeless shelters don't even have enough tarps overhead. so if the only thing you have left is the shirt off your back, imagine if even that is still getting soaked. but still the optimism there, people said this is the price you pay when you live in paradise. these people were amazing. we cannot forget how much they need our help. >> stephanie ruehl, thanks for going down there for us. dave price standing by with another check of the forecast. >> yep. and while you guys talk about hurricanes and how busy it is, we continue to look at areas of low pressure and the possibility that more of these significant storms are going to develop. this is jose. we talked about that with

hurricane-force winds extending 30 miles and tropical storm-force winds extending 150 miles and that storm is expanding. that's why we're concerned about the northeast and sections of the carolinas as well. now let's zoom down and take a look at these systems. tropical depression 14 most likely will begin to break up and won't be a threat to any land. but invest 96-l, that has a 90% chance of gaining strength and becoming a tropical depression, perhaps even stronger. and look. five days out we are potentially watching landfall over some of the same islands that were affected as irma rolled through. so a major concern. we'll keep an eye on this one. in the meantime, let's take a look at what's happening nationally. and we do have above-average temperatures through a good portion of the country because of an amplified jetstream. cool certainly in sections of the northwest. but much of the country five to ten degrees above average. that's a

here's a look at what's happening right where you are. and you can see the hot weather has moved to the east coast around the bay area this morning, low 50s in the north bay, upper 50s elsewhere and should have picture perfect weather for cal hosting ole miss this evening. temperatures dropping through the 60s, partly cloudy skies. highs inland, 70s to mid 80s, much more comfortable than last weekend. some low 70s around oakland, and a fall-like seven-day forecast ahead as you can see san francisco, valleys staying in the same range of 70s to mid 80s. no rest right now for the hurricane-weary. >> that's for sure. thank you. still to come on "today," important advice about what you need to do when it comes to planning your child's birthday party. >> also, we're going to spend some time talking about the dangers lurking within these lollipops and why police are now putting out an urgent warning about them. that's after these m maria is an incredible mom. when it comes to helping her daughter, shopping for groceries, unclogging the sink, setting updentist appointments

this morning, more and more kids are now going to the emergency room after eating candy. >> today national investigative correspondent jeff rossen is here to tell us what makes this candy different and why police are so concerned. >> hey, guys. th good morning to you. if i showed these to your kids would they eat them? mine would. they're just lollipops. but now there is a potentially dangerous version of this spreading across the country. pure concentrated marijuana made to look like kids' candy. and kids keep eating it. by accident. they see it lying around the house, at a friend's house, even in public. and we are just learning the number of cases is now spiking as more states legalize pot. so this morning police are issuing an urgent warning. >> gummy bears. >> reporter: all kinds of candy. >> it looks yummy. >> reporter: even baked goods. >> i love brownies. >> reporter: they look so good. but -- >> this one is actually edible marijuana. >> oh, wow. >> reporter: it's flying off the

shelf. edible marijuana that looks identical to candy. just look at these side by side. can you see the difference? that's real sugary candy on the right and that's pot on the left. marijuana now legal for either recreational or medical use in 29 states and d.c. but the product is spreading everywhere. thousands of children and teens getting sick across the country. in indiana this summer 11 teenagers were hospitalized after eating marijuana gummy bears. >> their heart rates were upward of 200, and that's not safe. >> reporter: just weeks before in new york, a 10-year-old boy got sick from eating this sour gummy candy he found in his father's car. the active ingredient, cannabis oil. his father was arrested for child endangerment. and these incidents are on the rise. a recent study showing the nuv adolescents sent to emergency rooms has quadrupled.

in colorado alone doctors say children are especially at risk for severe side effects. >> this is extremely dangerous. we could see seizures, hallucinations. there can be loss of consciousness. this is very serious. >> reporter: and it's easy to get. >> i'm interested in the watermelon rings. and do you have any cookies or brownies? >> reporter: our lrossen report team going shopping in denver. >> it looks just like candy. >> for sure. >> reporter: then i hit the streets. can these kids spot the pot? >> what do these look like you to? >> gummy bears. >> do you like gummy bears? >> yeah. >> it looks yummy. >> what looks yummy about it? >> because it has sugar. >> this 3-year-old so enticed, watch. >> would you eat this? >> yeah. >> no. you can't touch that. >> reporter: even older kids confused. >> would you eat these? >> yeah. >> why? >> because they're cookies. >> reporter: parents, they're puzzled too. >> even up close here, can you tell the difference? >> i can't, no.

not at all. >> this looks like a really gummy bear to you. >> absolutely. i mean, you can kind of smell it maybe. maybe now that you told me what it is. >> you wouldn't know otherwise. >> no. >> reporter: now police are issuing an urgent warning to parents. >> if you have little kids that accidentally get into this stuff, they don't know any better, or a babysitter might give a child something out of the pantry not realizing what it is, those accidental issues are on the rise and it's a big problem. >> do you think pot candy should be banned? >> kids are going to be enticed by this. they're going to want to get into this stuff. banning it's the only way to deal with it. >> reporter: and now that we're in full swing of the school year, here's the other fear, that kids will bring the pot candy to school and share it with friends, unaware of what it really is. so even if it's not in your home, your children may accidentally ingest it. just another reason it is so important to pay attention to what your children are eating and bringing to school. back to you guys. >> good advice. >> jeff rossen. up next, how you can protect yourself and your credit after that massive equifax data breach.

we're back now saturday morning with an update about that equifax security breach. this morning two of the company's top officials are gone. equifax announcing that their chief information officer and chief security officer are both stepping down effective immediately. here's why. 143 million people have been impacted by the breach. if you're one of them, there are some very important steps you can take to keep your credit safe. >> we're talking about what to do this morning. you can find out if your information was exposed by going to equifax security 2017.com. look for the potential impact. through go right there. putting your last name and the last six digits of your social security number to see if you're impacted. we just did it. we're both impacted. it impacts a lot of people. >> so's dave price. you'll see an enroll button at that point.

that's where you can sign up for your credit monitoring. even if your information wasn't exposed equifax is still offering a year of free credit monitoring for everyone. another line of defense, to put a fraud alert on your files, which is free. that can be done by contacting any one of the nationwide credit courting companies. >> but putting a credit freeze on your files is much more powerful. so while it won't prevent a thief from making charges to your existing accounts, it does make it harder for someone to open a new account in your name. >> you can set up a credit freeze, by the way, by contacting equifax, experian, and transunion. freezes typically cost anywhere from 5 to 10 bucks but equifax right now is waiving that fee. by the way, and this is important, a credit freeze does not affect your credit score. >> and one thing to know, because social security numbers don't ever go away, neither does the threat. so you should certainly keep an eye on this every single year. and again, be sure to monitor your existing credit cards and bank accounts closely. >> if you find charges you that don't recognize, report them at identitytheft.gov. that's identitytheft.gov. we know it's a lot of information. so we've put it up on the website today.com. but again you should definitely go and see if you've been

impacted. >> i have to be honest, i was surprised. >> so was i. >> all right. still to come, beyonce stops by one of broadway's hottest musicals, and wait until you see how the cast reacted. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

>> that bag's on fire. >> reporter: a crude bomb made in a bucket. seen moments later on the subway floor still in flames. >> the fireball just engulfed the whole tube carriage. like the whole carriage was orange just like coming towards us. >> i heard the word explosion and fire, and we were just trapped, and i thought, i'm going to die. >> reporter: at least 29 people were injured. many with burns. others after being trampled in the rush to escape. among them children on their way to school. but it could have been worse. authorities say the bomb did not fully explode. >> though the attack was relatively ineffective, it is part of a series of quickening attacks in london. >> reporter: isis has claimed responsibility for the attack, but there's no evidence of their involvement. it is the fifth time this year britain has been a target for terror, including the suicide bombing at an ariana grande concert and a car and stabbing attack outside parliament. authorities say today's arrest will lead to more police

activity after the security presence was stepped up across the country. britain raising its terrorist threat level to critical, warning another attack could be imminent. and this morning in the last hour london's mayor warning people here to expect more police activity today and in the days ahead. it's clear that the police race to prevent another attack may not be over. guys? >> keir simmons. keir, thank you. now to some breaking news overnight in st. louis, where dozens of marchers were arrested when protests over a police officer's acquittal turned violent. at least nine officers were injured as well. nbc's blake mccoy is in st. louis this morning with more. blake, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning to you. these protests turned violent after about 1,000 protesters surrounded the home of st. louis's mayor. they threw red paint and rocks at the home, breaking several windows. that is when police officers moved in using tear gas to

disperse the crowd. it's not believed the mayor was home at the time. now, in total yesterday and overnight ten officers were injured, 32 protesters arrested. they were protesting after the acquittal of a white police officer in the 2011 police shooting of a white -- or of a black man named anthony lamar smith following a high-speed chase. officer jason stokley claimed self-defense and said he saw smith reach for a gun. he waived his right to a jury trial, and on friday a judge sided with that officer. now, this case does have echoes of ferguson, with accusations of a cover-up and evidence planting. that's why we've seen officers out in force here from the very beginning determined not to let things spiral out of control like they did in ferguson in 2014 following the killing of michael brown. more protests are planned here in st. louis later today. craig? >> blake mccoy there in st. louis. blake, thank you. now, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines this morning. while the president is spending the day at his golf club in new jersey, large crowds are
