carpet and swiss guards. his first meeting with pope francis, first lady melania wearing a veil here too. a slow procession to meet the holy father, president trump seeming to take it all in. >> because he will come out in honor of you. >> reporter: the president's entourage including daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared waiting outside as the poresidet entered the pope's public library before they got down to business. >> welcome. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: the meeting lasting about 30 minutes. at times the president beaming alongside a very serious pope. this face-to-face comes after their very public feud last year. the pope called building a border wall un-christian then candidate trump took him on. >> a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful. >> reporter: but today the two sides hoping to find common

like the environment, the pope gifting the president with a book of his writings on the subject, also a medal, a sim bolling of peace. >> we can use peace. >> reporter: the entire white house delegation invited in to meet him. the first lady asking the pope to bless a rosary. ivanka trump said she was humbled and the two men who so publicly clashed today ending their meeting in a handshake. >> i won't forget what you said. >> reporter: yes, so there were no cameras inside for the meeting between the president and pope but we are hearing about what they discussed and talked about the situation in the middle east and the protection of christian communities around the world, a number of international affairs issued talked about here. later today president trump heads to brussels where he has that meeting on nato. >> all important. all right, cecilia, thank you. more on the russia investigation. former skai director john brenn

hill saying he was troubled by trump campaign associates and the russians and this as the president is expected to hire a private attorney. mary bruce has those details for us. >> reporter: good morning. despite his repeated claims he is not under investigation, the president is now expected to hire a private attorney to represent him in the special counsel's investigation as the former cia director says definetively he knew during the campaign there were interactions between the two and told the russians to back off. >> it should be clear to everyone that russia brazenly interfe interfered. >> reporter: blunt talk on capitol hill tuesday. former cia director john brennan. for the first time brennan reviling that during the presidential campaign, i confronted his russian counterpart about their meddling in the u.s. election. >> i told that if russia had such a campaign underway it will be certain to backfire. >> reporter: brennan making a bold statement saying he was so concerned

between the trump team and the russians, he felt the fbi should investigate. >> it raised questions in my mind again whether or not the russians were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals. >> reporter: he stopped short of calling it collusion and the white house took notice. in a statement the administration stressing that despite a year of investigation there is still no evidence of any russia/trump campaign collusion but that is still under investigation and now "the washington post" reports president trump asked two of his top intelligence officials to publicly deny any coordination between his campaign and the russians. >> we are in a phase where there is a new revelation every two or three days. >> reporter: one of those officials, the director of national intelligence, would neither confirm nor deny. >> it's not appropriate for me to comment publicly on any of that. >> reporter: now, in response, the white house continues to point out that so far no one has

collusion and they still insist that the real story here are the leaks coming from the white house. george. >> okay, mary, thanks. more on that from our chief white house correspondent jon karl and a lot of news in director brennan's testimony and basically learned why the fbi investigation got started, his concern about these contacts, the white house choosing to emphasize other parts of his testimony. >> reporter: yeah, although it was striking, george, to hear him give that testimony and use the word "treasonous" to describe the underlying allegation here. he said that it's even possible that it could have been unwittingly treasonous if there had been americans tied with the campaign colluding with the russian, in other words, they might not have known they were dealing with russian operatives but what the white house is focusing on is that even john brennan who has a clear political interest here, clearly tied to democrats, you know, one of barack obama's top advisers even back in his campaign, even john brennan s

evidence, no hard evidence of any collusion between the trump campaign and the russians >> that's what they're focusing on but it's also settling in on the white house that they'll have to be in for the long haul, special counsel is going to do his work. congress is going to do its work and a lot of these things that they are now blaming on leaks are going to become public. >> reporter: absolutely, george. and you see the president is now retaining outside counsel and soon will have his own outside law firm to deal wit. inside the west wing senior staff have been notified, warned, anything can be subpoenaed. even their text messages. only a matter of time before you see that senior staff needing to lawyer up, big legal bills. this is something that is daunting on the white house and realize this investigation is for the long haul and it's going to affect all of them. >> jon karl, thanks very much. boy, that is something to see up close, once those investigations start in the white house it has a chilling effect on all the work and that's why the president is

outside counsel to try to contain it as best he can. >> and you know that. let's go to rob marciano with the severe weather threat across the southeast. 38 million people are in its path and, rob, there were 11 reported tornadoes on tuesday. >> that's right, michael. across three states. one of them, wilmington island, georgia and over to tybee island east of savannah and this one not doing a lot of damage but autryville, a lot of damage and sealy, texas, 81 miles an hour there. tornado watch out already this morning from panama city to tallahassee includes gainesville, jacksonville and daytona beach, populated area so a dangerous situation we'll keep an eye on as this pushes off to the east and expansive severe weather threat from ft. myers all the way up towards the virginia border and this will spin rain up towards the northeast, tomorrow is a messy day for much of new england.

do it. whatever you want. grab them by the [ bleep ]. do anything. >> who was the first -- >> reporter: billy made a name for himself as co-host of "access hollywood" for 15 years rubbing elbows with hollywood elite. and last summer billy made the jump to morning tv. his dream job as a co-host of the "today" show but on october 7th, 2016 his career came to a screeching halt when the now infamous tape was released and he was fired. do you believe you should have lost your job over this? >> based upon the moment that is on that tape, i understand people's reaction. i agree. i also felt that way. we live in a visual and digital age so we get this video, this moment and we react emotionally to it and then you have social media and the ability to respond in realtime and a flame becomes

>> have you had any conversations with donald trump since the release of the tape? >> no, there was no relationship there. it was work reeled and i interviewed him multiple times especially back then. he never reached out and i didn't reach out. >> melania felt as she said you egged him on. >> he was lead on like egg on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. >> would you agree with that that you added to the conversation? >> i definitely added to the conversation by, you know -- i was keeping the ball in the air. with trump it's not much of a give and take and i remember this moment, you know, when he said what he said at the end, i -- to me it was more braggadocio and if i had ever thought -- i'd like to think that there was a grown man sitting in front of me detailing his sexual

would have called the fbi. >> there were reports you knew about the tape and you were talking about it months beforehand. >> i only talked about it with people who knew prior. i reported it as soon as it happened. i said you wouldn't believe the things trump was saying off camera. >> you reported that tape way back. >> sure, as soon as it was done, when i was recouping what happened, i said, yeah, when the camera left, this is what the conversation was and it was told me days later, well, that was on. the camera was rolling. there's audio of all that. i said, oh, my gosh, wow but i never thought about it again. i just went on. it was trump. it was an inconsequential. he wasn't running for president. you know, he was at the time the biggest star on television. >> what was it like for you to go back home after the tape had been released to face your daughter, your wife, what was that moment like for you? >> my now 16-year-old daughter

and she was really upset and i said, mary, it's going to be okay. you know, don't worry and she said, no, why were you laughing at the things that he was saying on that bus? why? you playing along with it. it wasn't funny. >> must be one thing, billy, for a stranger to feel that way but for your daughter to ask you why. >> she said why were you in the moment that? why were you participating in that? i said, i'm -- i was -- i'm sorry. she didn't want to hear any explanation, just i'm sorry. i had never listened to that tape, robin. and until just days before the rest of the world got it and i recoiled. i said, oh, my gosh, because for me i remember the guy on the other side and i can tell you 12 years ago it was my first year as co-host of the show but i was

i was -- i was a pleaser. i kind of remember wanting these celebrities to like me so that i could keep going in this job. >> what did you your wife say to you? >> she was very understanding of the atmosphere and the environment of that time and she knows very well the man she married and who i am. so she was supportive the whole way through, in fact, up until five minutes ago we were on the phone before i drove up here. >> billy is no stranger to the public eye as a reporter. and a member of the bush family. you're almost 34 at the time. i understand what you're saying about wanting to prove yourself but there's some people that said, you're old enough and you've been around enough. your last name is bush. >> for sure. >> you have been worldly more so than most people. >> for sure. i should have known better, absolutely. there's no quest

i look back and i wish people also say you should have stopped it. but i didn't have the strength of character at the time to do that. i wish i did. >> did you reach out to your colleague nancy o'dell and apologize? >> i sent a message, yeah, private message, yeah. >> at the time trump was about to make a soap opera cameo with a guidance of soap opera star ariane zucker. >> melania said this was okay. >> the point, billy, that people drew the line is when you said, don't you want a hug the donald? don't you have a hug? after hearing him say those thing, that's when people are like, oh, come on. it's one thing to agree with him but can you understand like no. >> listen, nobody reacted harsher or more gutturally than i did. i say imagine a woman is watching that and she thinks is that wha

walk out of a room or out of a meeting, i'm being sized up in some way. i understand that. >> how do you convince some people who are going to say, you just want your job back. you just want to get back on tv. >> i can tell you that i am only ready to get back to work now because there is purpose and there is clarity and there is acceptance and there is a changed person. i do feel like a better man. i feel like a better father. partner, friend and i do think better at my job than i ever was. >> what would you say to a young man in particular entering this field? >> believe in yourself. be confident. do not doubt yourself. stay true to who you are. and i think i sacrific

know, my own dignity in that moment. i was very pleased to say good-bye to that guy. >> and billy has spent the last seven months doing a lot of soul searching. he now meditates, practicing mindfulness and yoga has helped him. he knows it's a process which led him to be ready and able to share his story. you know i was hesitant about doing the interview when i was first approached about it because i knew many people would feel there's a chance -- it was going to be critical of the president. that was not the intent nor the purpose why billy bush wanted to sit down with me. he wanted to be able to explain his actions. remember, he was us is pended and then fired before he could publicly apologize. he made no excuses. he just wanted to explain who he was then and explain who he is now. >> and so what does he want to do now? >> he wants to -- he loves his job. he wants to get back in tv. makes no bones about that. but he wants to do purposeful, meaningful reporting an interviewing and said he was at a

tony pointed to him to the audience and said one bad moment does not define who you are and the whole crowd reacted. i just got chills thinking about it. he wants to find people who e. remember as i say everybody has something, everybody has made a mistake and what do you learn from that and what do you share? >> he thinks it will make him b better at that. >> he also used the phrase make your mess your message. >> i had a chance to spend time with him before and after and very sincere in what he said there and that's the same feeling i got when i spent time with him after the incident. >> there is a genuineness there. >> thanks, robin. we'll be right back. that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work.

we are back with a special edition of our big board dealing with more of the questions with dr. janet taylor. welcome back. we'll talk to you in a minute about addressing fears. first we want to

keeping safe at big venues and john matthews is here and, john, what kind of things should people think about as they go to events like this? >> well, the first thing you need to know is avoid the crowd. that main rush of people that leave the venue right when the concert or show ends. for me and my family we either leave early before the event ends or wait late, five, six, seven, eight minutes is all it takes to avoid being out of that crowd and will mitigate your chances of being a victim of terror. >> you just suggested leaving a few minutes early before the crowd. but this bomber hit before the bulk of the crowd exited the venue so what do you do in that case? >> he actually did. that was kind of the first wave that was going out, the concert had actually ended. i'd say leave five, eight minutes early, ten minutes early. what you want to do is be out before or after that main body of people come through those exit doors. that terrorist is looking for the highest body count

see in this instance as well it seems like a lot of people may have been hurt, injured or killed in the stampede in the panic after the attack. how do you keep your head in a situation like that? what kinds of things do you look to do? >> you look for cover. a steel beam, a post, a brick wall that you can hide behind. kind of like a salmon moving upstream, the weight behind a rock and let the water flow around him. you want to take cover so the crowd flows around you, grab your family, hold them close and let that main body of people go by then you'll be safe to exit. >> all right, let's bring dr. taylor into this and, of course, it's always difficult to talk to your children about terrorist attacks but this one is particularly challenging because so many young people were targeted. one of the victims was an 8-year-old girl and, dr. taylor, how should you talk to your kids about something like this. >> you ask what they've seen, what they heard. it's an opportunity for you to weigh in about how you feel because they're feeling something and also you listen, not only with your

listen to understand what they're saying, for instance, they may say i'm okay but notice a tear or something different in their body language. >> parents, only one player in this. they'll hear a lot on social media and hear a lot from other kids. not much you can do to control that. >> right so what you want to do is remind them how they're safe and go over safety rules. times like this make us feel helpless. how can we help others within our reach one-on-one. volunteer. write get well cards you send to manchester or to your local children's hospital and also focus on what's good. there's still a lot more people who are good and focus on what that goodness is so we can balance the negativity and balance the evilness with good things that we're doing with our families and with ourselves. >> dr. taylor and john, a question for both of you. how do you make your kids feel safe and empowered without scaring them? that's the challenge. >> one of the key factors of terrorism is the psychological afr-

afraid to do things you normally do so notice that and go -- don't be afraid. you have to go to school. you have to participate. do what you do normally but do it with an aware eye. >> john, how about you? >> yeah, i talk to them before we go to an event. i tell them you can't control what the other person will do but you can control what we'll do and mom and dad will protect you. you stay right with us and listen to directions and we're going to get out okay. >> good advice. thank you very much. the power symbol bringing hope after the manchester terror attack.
