good morning. it is tuesday, july 5th, i'm chris jansing. a series of suicide bombings in saudi arabia has capped a string of deadly terror attacks overseas. three different cities across soush were rocked by suicide bombs yesterday. the attacks began in jeddah after a bomber was stopped by security personnel near the u.s. consulate. the bomber detonated an explosive belt, killing himself and injuring two others. the saudi interior ministry said. hours later a pair of suicide bombers struck near the mosque in katif, a ministry source confirming that to nbc news. according to the ap the attack did not appear to cause any injuries. shortly after that a suicide bombing took place in medina near the headquarters of the prophet's mosque, considered to be the second holiest site in islam. four security officers were killed as well as the suicide

bomber. meanwhile in iraq the death toll continues to climb after one of the deadliest bombings to hit baghdad in more than a decade and the worst ever there at the hands of isis. at least 200 people were killed, another 176 wounded. the numbers rose yesterday as bodies were recovered from the rubble. authorities say a refrigerator truck filled with explosives blew up around midnight on saturday as people were celebrating ramadan. isis has claimed responsibility. they've also claimed responsibility for the attack in bangladesh on friday. gunmen stormed a restaurant in that country's capital city. the crisis that unfolded left 28 dead, including six attackers, and 20 hostages. at least one of those hostages was a u.s. citizen. three of those killed were college students in the u.s. and joining us from istanbul, turkey, nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel. and richard, all of this, obviously, as ramadan comes to a close. >> this is not really surprising, in fact. isis had called on its supporters to carry out attacks

during ramadan. and, that call was apparently listened to. you had the attack here in istanbul at the airport. you had orlando, where the caller said -- the shooter called in to say that he was doing it for isis. you had the horrific attack in paris. there was also an attack in yemen, bangladesh, about a dozen attacks in all. all high profile, all during ramadan. and i think it comes as isis is trying to project its power, it's losing territory at home, and it is trying to show its supporters that it has deployed its army, and it has deployed its army during the holy month when it is considered particularly blessed and fortuitous to engage in battle. and there's a long tradition in islamic history of doing -- waging war during ramadan. but, many people will say that isis is not an islamic organization at all, and that it proved that specifically by carrying out attack in medina, very close to the prophet's

mosque. in that saudi city. >> richard, when you talk about deploying that army, is there any indication which of these might have been directed by isis, and which just inspired? >> it's very hard to know. the further out you get from the center, and the center being iraq and syria, the harder it is for isis to actually deploy its people. there is some very strong indications that the istanbul attackers were actually deployed from raqqa, and this russian-speaking cell arrived in this city from raqqa just about one month before the attack, rented an apartment here, a neighborhood was even complaining that there was a chemical smell in the apartment. that they had reinforced the door, rarely opened the windows. so this attack, at least, seems to have been quite centrally planned. orlando, obviously, just inspired according to the subsequent investigation.

saudi arabia unclear. there are many saudi nationals inside isis though it is possible that one of their members went back to home to carry out this attack, but i think it's -- i haven't seen the results of the initial investigation. >> richard engel reporting for us. thank you so much. back here at home, donald trump's campaign spent the long weekend in a slow boiling controversy over the use of an image with seemingly bigoted origins. on saturday morning trump's twitter account displayed this image, a tweet calling hillary clinton the most corrupt candidate ever, with the words inside a six-pointed star. many pointing out it was a star of david shape placed on a bed of $100 bills. his campaign replaced that tweet with a circle just two hours later. on sunday, mic.com reported the image had appeared earlier on a message board used by white supremacists. trump still had no comment though his former campaign manager said it was too much political correctness. >> look, a tweet is a simple tweet. and the bottom line is you can read into things that aren't

there. it's the same star that sheriff's departments use all over the place to represent law enforcement. to read into something that isn't there is i think again that's the mainstream media trying to attack donald trump for something that really isn't there. again the bottom line this is political correctness run amok. if this would have been a star next to hillary clinton that didn't have the cash behind it no one would be questioning this. >> and we heard something similar from the donald trump tweeting dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the star of david, rather than a sheriff's star, or plain star. the clinton campaign called out trump for the use of a quote blatantly anti-accept tick image from racist websites adding that it is, quote, part of a pattern. while trump argued that it was a basic star often used by sheriffs who deal with criminals and criminal behavior, part of his allegation that clinton is corrupt. meanwhile trump social media director and one of his closest aides attempted to explain the tweet's origin. quote, the social media graphic used this weekend was not created by the campaign, nor was

it sourced from an anti-semitic site. it was lifted from an anti-hillary twitter user where countless images appear. the sheriff's badge, which is available under microsoft's shapes, fits with the theme of corrupt hillary, and that is why i selected it. as the social media director for the campaign i would never offend anyone and therefore chose to remove the image. presumptive democratic nominee hillary clinton was questioned by the fbi this holiday weekend. according to "the new york times," eight officials from the fbi and justice department took part in what was called a civil and business-like meeting by someone familiar with the session. according to "the new york times," eight officials from the fbi and justice department took part in this. a spokesman said clinton is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the department of justice in bringing this review to a conclusion. that evening, clinton told nbc's chuck todd she has no knowledge of when the investigation will be over. saying she was given no time line. and she defended her husband's controversial private visit with attorney general loretta lynch.

>> it was a short, chance meeting that occurred, and they did not discuss the department of justice's review. and i know that some, nonetheless, have viewed the meeting in a different light. and both the attorney general, and my husband have said they would not do it again. hindsight is 20/20. both the attorney general and my husband have said that they wouldn't do it again, even though it was, from all accounts, that i have heard, and seen, an exchange of pleasantries. >> donald trump hammered clinton on twitter. quote, it was just announced by sources that no charges will be brought against crooked hillary clinton. like i said the system is totally rigged. later today, president obama will make his first campaign stop with hillary clinton. the place, battleground north carolina. charlotte, to be exact. the president will share their phone a friend story, how the two went from bitter rivals in

2008 to allies when she ended her bid and endorsed him, and colleagues when she joined his administration as secretary of state. the president was originally set to campaign with clinton in wisconsin, but the appearance was postponed after the orlando massacre, then rescheduled in north carolina. reportedly because of the campaign's growing confidence in the state. meanwhile, donald trump, who's campaigning in raleigh, has already pounced on news that clinton will fly to charlotte with president obama aboard air force one. trump tweeted, quote, why is president obama allowed to use air force one on the campaign trail with crooked hillary? she is flying with him tomorrow. who pays? clinton is already in washington, set to speak at the national education association later this morning. the latest national polling, meantime, shows a narrower margin for hillary clinton over donald trump. trump has cut her lead from double digits in the "usa today"/suffolk university poll to just five. while male voters split nearly evenly clinton cruises among women, winning by 12 points.

and while trump leads among white voters, clinton has a two to one edge among hispanics, a ten to one edge among african-americans. the poll reflects a growing sense of dread among the electorate. 61% say they're alarmed about this election. just 23% are excited. and listen to what newt gingrich had to say over the weekend. >> everything the clinton campaign is doing to suppress trump will, in the short run, suppress trump. because, he's not trying. she wants to spend $32 million in key states, she's going to look much better next week in the polls in those key states. it has no meaning. she's got to find a way to make him so utterly unacceptable, and she can do that with elites. but i'm not sure she can do it with normal people. trump's job is, frankly, to quit screwing up, get the election down to three or four big issues all of which come down to a single concept. enough. >> and gingrich faced questions over whether he would consider being vice president from the sitting vice president.

>> i'd like to ask one question before i begin. newt, you going to do it? >> i -- >> i think he needs the help, yes. >> the question was should i -- >> should he be vice president? i got to tell him -- anyway. it's a hell of a job. get a big pay raise. it's all worth it. >> donald trump spent the weekend meeting with conservative stars, many of them rumored to be in consideration for a possible spot as his running mate. trump spent independence day with freshman senator joni ernst of iowa. her camp said they had a good talk and the senator said, quote, i will continue to share my insights with donald about the need to strengthen our economy, keep our nation safe and ensure america is always a strong, stabilizing force around the globe. the day before, trump met with indiana governor mike pence and his family. tweeting, very impressed. great people. >> we just had a great visit. with the trumps. and it was a tremendous honor for our family to have the chance to spend some personal

time with them. they couldn't have been more kind and gracious and we'll always count it a privilege that we were able to spend some personal time getting to know someone who i believe must be the next president of the united states of america. >> if he offered you the position, would you take it? >> you know i -- i love my job and i love my country but i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. >> trump and another potential running mate, senator bob corker, campaigned in north carolina today. there is more political fallout from last month's brexit vote as one of the leading voices in that historic referendum is resigning as the head of his party. nigel farage, leader of the uk's independence party, announced the move yesterday. >> i came into politics from business, because i believed that this nation should be self-governing. i have never been, and i have never wanted to be, a career politician. my aim in being in politics was to get britain out of the european union. that is what we voted for in

that referendum. two weeks ago. and that is why i now feel that i've done my bit. that i couldn't possibly achieve more than -- that we managed to get in that referendum, and so i feel it's right that i should now stand aside as leader of ukip. >> farage is the latest high profile politician to step back in the wake of the brexit vote. david cameron, of course, announced he's resigning as prime minister after the result while former london mayor boris johnson says he won't run for that job. meanwhile the uk's labor party continues to put pressure on their leader, jeremy koshin', to resign. time now for business, u.s. markets set to reopen. cnbc's louisa bojesen joins us live from london. what can we expect this morning? >> yeah, hi, chris. just a note first on farage resigning. you had a lot of angry people yesterday saying basically all the people who were pushing so hard for the uk to exit the eu, they're not willing to take these leadership jobs or to stand up to the job of really

being a leader during the time that all this transition has to take place. so the political environment is very interesting here now. this morning in europe, we opened on a lower footing, we're trading lower across the board. we had some chinese services sector data overnight. we saw it rise to 11-month high for the month of june. at the same time, also, a lot of movement in the italian banks this morning. initially opening to the downside after the prime minister in itry talked about how they don't have any plans to pump public money into the italian banks there. today we've got factory orders stateside, you've got international trade on wednesday, thursday adp employment claims, jobless claims and nonfarm payroll data on friday. a lot to look out for for you guys in the u.s. coming back after the fourth of july holiday kept markets for you closed yesterday. want to mention ashley madison, the infidelity website with the slogan life is short, have an affair. they were hacked last year. you had millions of people's details that were spilled that were exposed, and now, they're

basically looking at -- they're being a target -- or they're targeted by the federal trade commission investigation that's taking place of them. you have u.s. and canadian class action lawsuits you've got allegations also that they potentially used fake profiles in order to try to lure customers in. and it's cost the parent company something like 25% of revenues we just heard that from its two new execs. they say that they're now spending millions in order to try to approve the security and the website usability so they're talking to companies about this and they're looking at some safer payment options to continue the company. but again, the costing the parent company some 25% of their revenue. that's a big hit that they took off the back of this hacking scandal last year, chris. >> louisa bojesen from london, thank you. and still ahead on "way too early," it happened when lebron left cleveland for miami. now it's oklahoma city fans burning kevin durant's jersey. we'll have more on the deal that has them heading -- has him

heading to the golden state. plus, a cloudy and in some places wet backdrop for the fourth of july fireworks where celebrations went right and where they went wrong when "way too early" comes right back.

williams. yesterday in the rain the six-time champion found herself suddenly losing to svetlana kuznetsova 5-4 in the opening set. williams was slow to get up after falling chasing a ball on slick turf that's when she confronted the umpire asking why the retractable roof was still open. eventually the roof was closed about 30 minutes later. williams came back to win to advance. her sister makes it to the next round, as well. roger federer also cruised winning in straight sets his 306th grand slam winning tying with martina navratilova with the all-time record. and keep an eye on american sam querrey. he just became the first american man to reach the quarterfinals in five years. he beat nicolas mahut in straight sets after stunning number one seed novak djokovic. and major league baseball where the nationals are taking on the brewers and in the top of the first with two out, milwaukee's ryan braun singles up the middle. that brings out nationals amanager dusty baker to argue

what was listed on his lineup card. turns out braun was listed incorrectly and the brewers were charged with batting out of order. despite the mix-up the brewers won the game 1-0. to boston the red sox trailing 4-3 in the third when brock holt launches a two-run homer to right center that hits the top of boston's bp and bounces over. check out the catch by robby ross jr. in the bull pen tracking the ball off the top of the wall then making the catch in his special edition stars and stripes hat. boston went on to top texas 12-5. it was rainy last night for fireworks across a lot of the country. in washington, d.c., it was cloudy but the show went on anyway. mostly as planned. still, some people on twitter noticed conditions looked a little clearer on the broadcast. and pbs tweeted, quote, we showed a combination of the best fireworks from this year, and previous years. it was the patriotic thing to do. there were bigger problems in other places around the country.

sunday night in rock castle county, kentucky, at least six people were injured when according to a fire official a firework misfired into a crowd. and in plymouth, massachusetts, a malfunction caused a fire on one of the barges. >> i don't know if you can see this but the boat is on fire. oh, my god it's catching the fireworks on fire on the boat! >> you can see that there's a fire -- >> oh, my god! >> trying to put it out. >> time now for a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bonnie schneider. good morning, bonnie. >> good morning, chris. as we look outside today, the day after the july fourth holiday it is really hot out there. in fact, 17 million people at risk today for dangerous heat and humidity and the heat wave is actually spreading to even more people. just soaring high temperatures across the southern tier of the u.s. it's not going to stay in the south. eventually all of this will push eastward. notice high temperatures in texas, at 100 degrees. the heat index will make it feel like it's 110 in some spots.

we're also seeing heat into kansas, new mexico, oklahoma, and by the time we get to thursday, that heat works its way all the way up to the coastline and we'll be seeing it right here in new york, watch for it in philadelphia in the mid 90s. also for friday, dangerous heat conditions for memphis, san angelo and baton rouge. looking across the northeast, we've got heavy rain that's been pushing across cape cod and boston some heavier downpours there you mentioned washington, d.c. dealing with the rain. they're still dealing with it right now. now there is the risk for flooding especially in some areas southern new jersey and we did have some flood advisories for west virginia earlier but that has subsided. our forecast for today calls for thunderstorms even into atlanta and new orleans the heat continues to build into oklahoma with 97 degrees. dallas right at 100. but even minneapolis getting up to 91. 86 for wednesday. we'll watch out for thunderstorms, really spreading across areas of the plains. today we'll look for that risk into the upper midwest. but by tomorrow it spreads a little bit further south and east.

st. louis you may have to dodge a storm. a lot of people are traveling this week because it was july 4th and people have the week off. thursday, watch for the storms to spread across areas of the midwest and even into the northeast so while temperatures are get being all the way up to 94 in new york city, some of the storms could get severe in parts of pennsylvania, and into upstate new york we'll watch for that. and again, chris, the big story is this heat. it's just going to be treacherous out there with oppressive heat through the entire week into next weekend. >> all right. thanks so much, bonnie schneider. the people who have taken the week to go to the beach are probably happy about that. still ahead the big news from nasa overnight. scientists hope will unlock some big secrets from space. "way too early" is back in a moment.

at the beginning of the 21st century, the earth needed to find a new way to keep up with the data from over 30 billion connected devices. just 30 billion? a bold group of researchers and computer scientists in silicon valley, had a breakthrough they called... the machine. it changed computing forever. and it's been part of every new technology for the last 250 years. everything? everything! this year, hewlett packard enterprise will preview the machine and accelerate the future. see star trek beyond.

welcome back to "way too early." while people across the country celebrated the fourth of july last night, scientists at nasa were celebrating another achievement the night sky. after five years and 1.8 billion miles, nasa's juneau spacecraft has finally begun orbiting around jupiter. during a 35-minute engine burn the space probe slowed down enough to be pulled in to orbit around the planet late last night. the news arrived just before midnight with cheers breaking out across two of nasa's mission control centers. the spacecraft, the size of a football field, is expected to study the planet's magnetic and gravitational fields and measure the amount of water in jupiter's atmosphere. that's going to do it for "way too early." but coming up on "morning joe," hillary clinton hopes to turn the page on that e-mail scandal with her first campaign

appearance with president obama. we'll preview that. plus "the washington post's" jonathan capehart on his interview with attorney general loretta lynch after her controversial meeting with former president bill clinton. that and much more coming up next on "morning joe." you focus on making great burgers, or building the best houses in town. or becoming the next highly-unlikely dotcom superstar. and us, we'll be right there with you, helping with the questions you need answered to get your brand new business started.
