the three afghan soldiers, two captains and a major were here in the united states for an annual training exercise that's been underway since 2014 at the national guard base in massachusetts. what u.s. officials emphasize here is that before they even get this far, they are vetted to find out if they have any kind of militant or any this case, afghanistan taliban ties. otherwise they wouldn't be allowed into the country. never the less, while they're not considered to be an immediate threat to americans, local, state, program and military investigators are trying to find out exactly where they went and where they are. >> and, i didn't mean, we hajim names. why no images? as i understand it there are some images. we don't have them. but some images have been

posted, and it's -- again, the u.s. military is concerned but they're not all spun up about this. this has happened repeatedly over the years. at one point a number of iraqis in texas were, you know, walked away from their training facilities. just last week, two afghan soldiers walked away from the training base in quantity koe, virginia and later picked up apparently shopping in georgetown in washington, d.c. so unless there is some indication they are, in fact, somehow affiliated with some terrorist militant organization, at this point, are not deemed a threat. but never the less, officials want to track them down. >> sure. thank you so much, my friend. we'll keep a close watch. on to the to focus. the president's international

pitch to fight isis. the president will lead a u.n. security council meeting on between rally more support to fight the brutal terrorist group. secretary of state john kerry said the president will attempt to build on current commitments from the global community. >> the great deal can be accomplished and perhaps the whole deal can be accomplished by training the free syrian army. saudi arabia agreed openly to do the training in saudi arabia. it's a remarkable step forward. countries in the region, multiple have made commitments to be part of military action. >> secretary kerry met last last hour with his british counter part in the united states concretely in new york and has a full slate of meetings on his schedule for today. the isis propaganda machine is at it again. nbc is working to awe then candidate a new audio reporting.

quote, you will note feel secure even in your bedrooms. let's bring in mark ginsburg and daily beast columnist and via phone from istanbul, turkey sophia jones. good morning. let's talk about these are freed hostages this weekend. 49 hostages were freed by isis. returned to turkey. some questions being raised as how to how turkey was able to secure their freedom. >> yes. a lot of mystery and concern over how it happened. the government isn't revealing pretty much anything. there was a rumors flying there was a prisoner exchange that isis got something in return. some people say it's a weird gift from turkey for not joining the u.s. led coalition. i spoke with families of hostages who expressed how it went down. one said he blames the

government for allowing isis to -- within turkey. >> they're having communications one way or another. another problem turkey is dealing with is refugees. 100,000 have poured into turkey in the last couple of days. >> yeah. it's up to 130,000. they join millions of refugees here. turkey is struggling to help the refugees. i was interviewing a homeless family that was living in a bus station. they have very little -- no food or money. now they probably have no shelter either. >> sophia jones, thank you so much for being with me. i want to turn to ambassador who is with us from new york. let me ask you, ambassador. what is ahead at this week's well united nations -- because the president is going to be dealing with that on wednesday. >> indeed, jose. it looks like the president is going to try to use his speech

to galvanize more international support for coalition to oppose isis. let's be realistic here. the idea that neither turkey or arab states have stepped up to the plate to at least acknowledge prepared to put boots on the ground and arm the kurds is a major pole that exists. and the idea that we're going to arm, finally, long last syrian rebels at most 5,000 of them to try to confront what our intelligence estimates indicator is a 30,000 force that substitutes isis. we wept out and sold to the arabs the fact we were going to do air strikes and they held back. it's like trying to go into a rug bazaar and say i love that rug and i'm going to buy it and the merchant is only able to up the ante. >> michael, i want to bring you

in. former obama defense secretary leon panetta that he and clinton urged president obama to arm the syrian rebels. he said we're paying the price for not having done so then. is he correct? how significant is this? >> it's a counter factual we can't know the answer to. he may be correct. you know, when people say that the united states not helping the free syrian army did create a vacuum in which isis rose that's a plausible thing for people to say. it may be true. but we're doing it now. it may be a little late. the free syrian army does, in fact, exist. this 5,000 figure we say we're going to properly train 5,000 people by the end the year, but it should be noted and remembered by people. i think most people don't have any idea. the free syrian army exists. it has about 80,000 people. it the strength varies from unit

to unit. it's been described by experts on the region. the strength varies from unit to unit. the fighting now and it is taking and holding some territory now against the assad regime and against isis. >> but, michael, isn't the syrian free army. does exist specifically to fight the assad dictatorship? why would they change their focus if their only focus is change in syria? >> that's a good question. some units won't. but some units will. and the reason they would do it is to show they have military muscle. to be able to take and hold territory. they know if they can take and hold territory from isis that will impress the united states. that will impress disaffected al waits within the assad regime who might be willing to play ball, negotiate with, talk with the sunni moderate political figures in syria. and it may get them negotiating

leverage at a bargaining table at some future point. >> ambassador ginsburg, in addition to the morning's isis audio recording. we get another reminder. the voice on the isis propaganda video appears to be american or canadian. let's look at the small portion of the video. >> flames of war were burning furiously as the heavy shelling let out thunderous roars. >> in fact, if it's an american or canadian, what would it represent, ambassador? >> it doesn't surprise me jose. we've been studying everything coming out of isis. it's being run by a bunch of sophisticated saudi social media engineers. that's part of their department based in syria or in mosul in iraq. the fact is that they're using americans and canadians and english and the brit, of course,

who may have been responsible for decapitating those poor journalists. they want to use american slang and american vernacular to appear to those type of westerners that hold western passports and who will come in order fight for isis and then possibly return back as sleeper cells in the united states. that's the possibility that may be occurring here. we do not know that yet. let's understand what they're trying to do is recruit westerners. they've been pretty damn well successful, jose, in doing that so far. >> ambassador ginsburg and daily beast, thank you so much for being with me. coming up we're going keep an eye on the developing story. three afghan soldiers missing from a cape cod military base. we'll have updates as we get them. first, how could happen? it's a frightening scene as the veteran of the iraq war armed

with a knife makes it to the white house. >> honestly, i didn't think it was real. the secret service agents were yelling, sir. get down. fence jumper has a scheduled appearance later today. already the white house is taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. we're going go there live next. it's monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. centurylink your link to what's next.

some security changes may be coming to the white house after an unprecedented security breach over the weekend. in a couple of hours iraq war veteran omar gone zzalez will appear in court. making it to the executive mansion with a 3 1/2 inch knife in his pocket. a former secret service agent tells nbc news that the suspect

is lucky to be alive. >> you certainly cannot allow an intruder to make it that far. if you have to kill the individual, then you kill the individual. >> nbc kristen welker joins us from the northern lawn of the white house. good morning. a lot of questions for the secret service to answer. it's supposed to be the most secure place in america. what is going on. >> that's right. a lot of questions. it's stunning. first, to what happened it was about 7:20 friday night when the suspect, a 42-year-old omar gonzalez jumped over the northern lawn fence, sprinted up the northern lawn took about 15 to 20 second and gained entrance to the unlocked door of the white house moments later he was apprehended. the question is, how could that have happened? law enforcement official tells me that the investigation that has been launched by the secret service director is focussing on a number of things including the question why weren't the canine

units dispatched? usually when someone jump oefrs the fence of the northern lawn, you see the canine units dispatched almost immediately. we saw it happen, for example, just over a week ago. a man wearing a poke monohat. you see the dog there. one of the reasons why that man stopped. that didn't happen on friday, jose. the other question we heard from dan emmett, why weren't shots fired at the intruder? i spoke with a official that said it doesn't appear gonzalez was armed. he wasn't wearing baggy clothes. it's believed that is why no shots were fired. having said that, no one is supposed to enter through the front door of the white house. this is the executive mansion where the first family lives. they were not home at the time. some new security measures stepped up patrols and surveillance along pennsylvania

avenue and law enforcement official tells me the secret service is considering setting up check points for tourists blocks away from the white house. that would be an unprecedented change here, jose. >> what a scary story, kristen. he didn't look like he was armed. there are shoe bombers, underwear bombers. there are all kind of bombers that don't necessarily have the big backpack. in about 45 minutes we'll hear from pennsylvania governor tom corbett about the manhunt for eric frein. while there have been no confirmed sightings of him. police have found items they believe he hid or abandoned in the woods including an assault rifle and ammunition. police believe frein may have been planning the attack and escape for a long time. we have been following the story. good morning, sara. she joins us from blooming grove, pennsylvania.

sara, investigators say he might have covered 20 miles so far? >> that is correct, jose. from the site where the crime scene happened to the area they're focussing is 15 to 20 miles. so far they believe he did it on foot. they don't believe he help from anyone else. they feel every day they're getting closer to a capture. now the area they're focussed on is right where he lived with his parents. it's on the border of monroe and pike counties. officials do say in the beginning he definitely had the advantage since he knows that area so well. after 10 days of this search, they feel they are up to speed and they say it is only a matter of time right now before he's caught. >> i believe he's had every opportunity to harm others if he had chosen to do so. his fight is with law enforcement. >> tactical operations people also know his backyard. the area he once felt safe in. we're pushing apart. he's no longer safe and i'm

confident he will be apprehended. >> officials are so confident they are in the right area right now that some of the schools that have been closed for the past couple of days have been reopened. we know two school districts that are having classes for the first time. i spoke with a mother who cropped her 13-year-old son off. she told him to keep his head up but was confident that law enforcement knows what they're doing. and her son would be safe all day. she said it was tough to let him go this morning. nine schools in the school district remain closed. it's too risky given the search area is too close. they're playing it by ear every day. like everyone else here they're waiting for word for frein's capture. >> it's been going on since the 12th of september. >> because there's a lot of wood areas or areas that are kind of not a lot of population in them. it's taking long time to find this guy.

>> it's taking very long time. officials believe he planned this for some time. if not weeks, months that he put into planning this event. he knows these woods very well. i spoke to some hunter. they say it would be difficult to see someone 30 feet away if even they weren't trying to hide from you like frein is from authorities. >> thank you for your time. we're going to zoom through some of the day's other top stories including new details in the search for a missing university of virginia student hannah graham. why the police chief was adamant during an mother-in-law news conference with her parents. >> a deadly scene in delaware a tour bus carrying 50 passengers flipped on the side. we'll have the frightening details in moments. she was trapped under the bus and one man saying my wife. it keeps on replaying in my mind. time for the "your business"

because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it was important to me that chantix was a non-nicotine pill. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i am very proud. i love myself as a nonsmoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

the king fire in northern california has burned an area the size of atlanta. the least ten homes have been destroyed. thousands of others are evacuated. even 100 miles away from the danger of the flames. the smoke is making hard to breathe. officials cancelled an iron man event minutes before it was supposed to start in lake tahoe because the smokey conditions. >> for the well being of athletes, volunteers, county air quality officials have recommended that the event be cancelle cancelled. >> nbc has more from california. good morning. >> good morning, jose. you can see the crews behind me making sure their equipment is getting ready for whatever is going to happen now. we have the latest from call fire this morning and the number is not good. it is up to more than 87,000 acres. they hope it they had it more

with us. the search for a missing student, a deadly crash, and hospital health scare. let's zoom through some of today's top stories. police in virginia looking for a man they say was the last person seen with missing student hannah graham. hundreds of volunteers turned out. but police want to talk to jesse matthew. the last person believed to be with her. matthew is wanted for reckless driving after police say he sped away from the station on saturday. >> let me say that again. i believe jesse matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the earth. because it's been a week and we can't find her. >> did anybody see hannah? did you see hannah? who saw hannah? somebody did. please, please, please, if you have anything however insignificant you think it may be, call the police tip line. >> that was hannah's dad

speaking after the first time since his daughter vanished. next hour the firy police chief will be tamron hall's guest on "newsnation." stay tuned at 11:00 this morning. the second woman has died following a horrific tour bus crash in delaware on sunday morning. 48 people were injured when the bus flipped over on to the roof and slid down an embankment before ending up on the left side. the bus was taking a curve on the exit ramp when it overturned. a 54-year-old woman was pinned under the bus. died at the scene. the tour bus was heading to new york from washington, d.c. a major health scare in an el paso, texas hospital has parents lining up to get their babies tested. more than 700 newborns and 40 employees may have been exposed to tuberculosis. parents will begin having their babies test the for the disease. an employee who worked in the maternity ward was recently

the isis strategy debate in washington is adding a new contour to the midterm sprint. our next guest is a congressional candidate who wants in on the strategy debate. he's ousted a nine term massachusetts incumbent in his democratic primary. he served four tours of duty in

iraq. a war he opposed joining me now is seth moll ten. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> would you have voted for the president's strategy if you faced that vote last week? >> no, i would not. i think we need to make clear what our long-term strategy is. i don't feel we have done enough of that. if we put american troops on the yound or empower those on the ground with american weapons, we need to make sure where it's going. i don't think that's clear right now. >> i know, you know, look, you have fought in wars. i'm not going to question you on that thing. but when you're in a war you can't really always plan a, b, c, d and hope all the things come to fruition. the president seems to be presenting something clearly he's saying there will be no troops on the ground. what is the alternative to that? >> well, actually, if you look

at what has happened with isis' expansion into iraq. isis didn't just roll over the iraqi army. they put the weapons down and went home. they lost faith in their government. fundamentally the problem in iraq is it's a political problem. it's that we don't have iraqi government that its people and army can trust. so i would rather see us sending political advisers to baghdad to put the government back together so the army can do the job. if we go into iraq and cothe iraqi's job for them, i fwaurn tee we'll be back there a few years from now doing it again. >> problem is these guys are based primarily in syria. and how do you deal with that when there is a strong dictatorship that is there, and on the other hand, that's where isis is fundamentally based >>well, that's a problem. we the syrian situation is incredibly complicated. it brings me back to my answer to your first question.

would i support the president's action? i think he needs to lay out a more clear plan about how we're going to empower groups on the ground in syria who can do the job, who will not let the weapons and resources fall into the hands of forces that are anti-american. and the problem in syria right now is the moderate forces are marginalized. i don't think we have a solid plan to make sure it will happen. >> and i want to you to another crisis congress tried to address the last time it left. the border crisis. how do you handle a situation where, you know, kids have been coming across the border. the mayor of one town in your district, lynn, made headlines this summer for claimanting undocumented adults signed up for school in the town. those claims haven't been confirmed. massachusetts faces an influx of unaccompanied miners. where do you stand? >> it's a crisis. it's a crisis we need to deal with today.

we need comprehensive immigration reform. it means securing the border and ensure path to citizenship for those here. i disagree with the.putting off facing the problem until november. we need to deal with it now. communities like lynn are seeing the effects of this every single day. they want to educate the people in lynn. they want to educate the kids in their community, but they're having this huge influx and they're not receiving the federal resources they need to meet the demand. >> thank you so much. thank you so much, take care. for more on the winning strategy come november joining me now is senior editor msnbc.com and ed oh keef. ed, you were on the hill last week covering the vote fisis strategy. how worried are congress members that the vote may make or break

the race? >> i think it's unclear. i think they knew they had to do it quickly. get on the record and allow the president to begin this. then come back and discuss it at greater length at some point after the election. i would say there were many in both parties and chambers to stay and have a debate now before the election. a lot were people in safe house districts not running for re-election this year in the senate. it's easier for them to say something like that. clearly there's an eagerness to take it up again. they have virtually no say how it goes in the future because they'll have basically shirked from their duty and not necessarily have taken it up. >> beth, how do you see wartime politics entering the midterm elections? >> it's sort of destabilizing the scene. i think you saw democrats running in close district senate seats in particular wanting to make the election about the improving economy, the republican, quote, unquote, war on women. that sort of thing. it's thrown a whole new monkey

wrechbl into the races. foreign policy has never been the top of the agenda for a vast majority of voters. when you see what isis is doing. beheading journalists, practically taking over the whole country of iraq. it frightens people. americans are not interested in going back and and fighting another war in the middle east, again, they feel very scaried. that's going affect a lot of races. it's unclear how. i think that's why you saw some democrats voting against the president last week. you saw republicans supporting him. things didn't fall into the traditional patterns we've seen in the recent months and years of gridlock where republicans are always on one side and democrats on another. it's destabilizing. >> yeah. we heard from a veteran, washington outsider who said that were he in office he would have voted against the president's plan on isis. what is a better way for candidates? experience outside the bellway? >> outside the beltway.

not only are people fed up with congress as an institution but increasingly they're targeting their own incumbent. if you can provide a fresh face or a new alternative to incumbents in competitive races that is conceivably a good opportunity for you. and moul ten is not alone. several voted against the strategy. guys like duncan hunter from california, the democrat from hawaii, several of them saying they were concerned about this. they didn't agree with the idea of handing weapons and training to the various rebel groups that could one day use the weapon and training against us. that was a theme that spread across party lines regardless whether you had war experience. it was notable so many veterans with the recent wars decided they didn't agree with the strategy. those that voted for it would say do you have a better idea? you put the question to him

yourself and he didn't have one. that's why you saw so many people voting for it. it's a start of something and we'll come back and talk about it again and long-term strategy. for now, look, if this is what the president wants to do. he's commander in chief. he deserves to have that. >> we've seen the run from president obama. kentucky getting a lot of attention last week. how far does running from the president go for democrats that are, well, in very difficult districts. is that a winning strategy, you any. >> it doesn't usually work. for people running in the president's same party to run against him in a midterm. it's just never been any evidence that works. in the case of allison lund again-grimes she perhaps has no choice. the whole race there is pretty much turning on coal. president obama has gone -- had talks about trying to tamp down the carbon emissions of coal

that's a terrible message in kentucky. she has run as far as away as she can. she's running a strong campaign there probably much stronger than any other democrat could against the minority. it's the polling right now is not show it's working. she's behind. >> i want to bring in the question. i know, you're guatemalan. you keep a close watch in central america on the border crisis. it seems it slowed down. do you think that's going to continue or change now that the summer months dwindle and it gets chillier out. >> that's a good question. having been on the ground there i know there are efforts underway in the three countries to hencourage people to stay an point out it's not necessarily the safiest idea to go and get there and talking to people ain

about dotely. you heard people saying apparently they're not safe and they're being sent back. we're seeing a decline in the issue discussed in congressional races and competitive races. there was a lot of expectations it might be a rally cry in some places. it hasn't been in places like colorado, florida, california. it's a big issue. it's not coming up necessarily. you know, you will hear republican candidates continue to raise concerns that the president is going to do something after the elections on his own. they're using that as a rallying cry among conservative base voters. you're not seeing it on the other side where democrats are trying to compel republicans to take up the issue. it gets talked about a little bit but there's no sense that it's driving people to the polls. >> right. ed and beth, thank you so much. coming up we'll take you back to the developing story we told you about the top of the hour. three afghan soldiers missing on cape cod.

we'll talk to a reporter following the story on the ground. plus on the last day of summer. a 24-hour vigil outside the headquarters of the dnc staged by undocumented mothers. the hashtag they're using is #brokenpromises. one of the mothers will join me straight ahead. it's monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. centurylink your link to what's next.

ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot.

alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding,

like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. we continue to follow developing news this morning on cape cod, massachusetts the manhunt going on for three afghan soldiers. joining me now is cape cod times reporter who covers the base george brennan. thank you for being with me. you interviewed a spokesman for the base. what did he tell you? >> caller: good morning. i talked to the military spokesman from u.s. central command. he told me there's no reason to active search for the men. they're here on visas. they are considered diplomatic

while they're here. foreign delegates while here. they have not committed any crimes. so there's no reason for active search for them. >> that's interesting. because if an american soldier went off base he would be awol. why do they think there's a big sale and the store and they haven't come back? >> they're not quite sure yet. cape cod is a beautiful place. here we are today it's a gorgeous day. the sun is shining. it's september here. it's a beautiful time of year to be here. i'm sure it's a little bit better right now than what it's like in afghanistan. >> yeah. i guess so. you also spoke at the local police chief. what do they say? >> the local police chief were really at a loss this morning. they have been given scant information by the military. no photograph was of the men to go by. they're not sure who they're

supposed to be looking. for one said to me are we supposed to racial profile here? we don't have enough information to go on if we're supposed to be looking for these guys. there's been some confusion. you know, are we searching for them or not searching for them? >> yeah, that's a great question. it doesn't seem like there's a lot of urgency in the air there, george. >> right. i mean, lots of people have been calling our news room this morning saying why aren't there photographs of these people. why aren't there detailed descriptions of the people? all we can think of now is that really, you know, the military is in a tough situation here. these are our allies. and so if we put out an bulletin for the allies what are we saying and suggesting? >> george brennan from the cape cod times. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me on. >> today is the last day of summer. the day president obama had

given for his deadline on acting on immigration reform. undocumented mothers are taking a stand against the delay holding a vigil outside the democratic national convention to remind the president of his broken promises. one of the protesters is maria. she came to the u.s. from mexico 13 years ago and has three children who are dreamers. she joins me now. her english is shaky. she prefers to speak spanish. i'll translate the answers for you. thank you for being with us. [ speaking in spanish ] >> translator: we came especially to say please come through with your promises. but the president said he's going act. he's going to act after the elections to give him time. [ speaking in spanish ] >> translator: yes but we don't -- can't wait for them to

give us more time. we're human beings and we're running the risk of by the time he passes executive orders something will happen. [ speaking in spanish ] what could happen? >> translator: maybe i'll be deported. some of my children could be deported, and others that we love could be deported. that's why we don't want to wait until the president gives us that executive order. >> maria, you know the republicans in the house of representatives had the opportunity to deal with immigration reform and decided not to. shouldn't that be something you protest as well? >> translator: well, really no. no it's not convenient. because we already know that they -- who they support.

and the only people who support us are the democrats. that's why we're protesting. maria, thank you for being with us this morning. and coming up accused white house fence jumper omar gonzalez is expected for a judge in a couple of hours. it's not the first security scare at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. these pictures are just from one week ago. our five things we'll take a look at white house security scares. that is straight ahead. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪

the secret service continues to face tough questions this morning over the unprecedented white house security breach on friday. but this is by for a not the first time the peoples' house faced a scare. there you see the gentleman running across the white house lawn. there's no dogs that are

supposedly set off if something like this happens. some of the people are questioning whether maybe he should have been shot at because he was able to make it to the front door. an unlocked front door of the white house. luckily he was not carrying anything other than a 3 inch knife, but he had a knife with him. it's not the first time the white house faced a scare. here are at least five times in five things the white house security scares. number one, a throw back to 1814. british troops setting the white house on fire during the war of 1812. president james madison and wife dolly had fled the scene but never returned to live in the peoples' house. number two, returning to this century a few weeks ago take a look at the scene on the white house north lawn on lock down thanks to a curous toddler. secret service not confirming the baby's identity but

confirming he received a timeout. number three november of 2011 in a more serious breach. shots fired at the white house with at least one bullet reaching the presidential residence. it broke the window. thankfully the bulletproof glass was too strong for the shot. number four september of snou19. a small stolen plane crashes. president clinton and his family were staying across the street while their residence was under repair. though upon returning, hillary clinton couldn't help but take a peek at the scene. number five a totally different kind of crash. party crashers. remember them? two d.c. socialites trying to take their reality career to a new level. they got in. they went through the right lane. they got their pictures taken. they enjoyed having a picture with the vice president.

they had a lovely d lly dinner. they snuck into the white house in 2009. it was a state dinner for the leader of india. they met the president and didn't have to slip in with the caters. my colleague will have his interview with gwen stefani and no doubt at 1:00 p.m. on msnbc. that is part of our coverage in the run up this week to the global citizens festival. so that's all happening here on msnbc. of course, we are going keep a close watch on what is happening with that three missing afghanistan soldiers that apparently not a lot of urgency to find but still kind of odd even though they have visas to come to the united states. why are they not back on base. we'll keep a close watch on that. that wraps up this hour on msnbc.

next on "newsnation" with tamron hall. breaking news. at the top of the hour the pennsylvania governor will hold a news conference on the massive manhunt for eric frein. for the killing of a pennsylvania state trooper. tamron will talk live with the police chief investigating the experience of uva student and that case seems getting more and more confusing by the hour. i'll see you tomorrow. thanks a lot. take care. hey, how you doin'? it hurts. this is what it can be like to have shingles. a painful blistering rash. if you had chicken pox, the shingles virus is already inside you. as you get older your immune system weakens and it loses its ability to keep the shingles virus in check. i just can't stand seeing him like this. he's in pain. one in three people will get shingles in their lifetime.

the shingles rash can last up to 30 days. i wish that there was something i could do to help. some people with shingles will have long term nerve pain which can last for a few months to a few years. don't wait until someone you love develops shingles. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. you want i fix this mess? a mess? i don't think -- what's that? snapshot from progressive. plug it in, and you can save

good morning, everyone. i'm tamron hall and this is "newsnation." we have live pictures from blooming grove, pennsylvania. governor tom corbett is about to give an update on the manhunt of eric frein. the sniper attack put an entire mountain community on lock down and landed frein on the fbi's

ten most wanted list. announcers announced they're closing in on the suspect. they said the general public is not in danger but many local residents today remain fearful and are staying away from their homes. we'll monitor the news conference. an intense search on for three afghan soldiers who disappeared from a national guard base in cape cod, massachuset massachusetts. the soldiers were taking part in a training exercise and were last seen saturday night at the mall. you've been covering the story since the early developments. authorities said they don't believe the individuals are a danger or threat. how can they be certain of that? >> you can never be certain. they're pretty sure because any time foreign military personnel come to the united states for training from whatever country, they go through
