4:07 am
members to step up more in fighting isis. so certainly in the wake of the attack this has taken on a "a new way"ed urgency by the administration. >> we've seen scenes of the president with the king and queen of belgium as well as the prime minister there. what else is on his agenda today in brussels? >> reporter: kendis, the cultural religious part of this trip is now over and now for president trump it's meetings, more meetings with some working lumps and dinners thrown in there to break things up and begins his day meeting with european union officials at the eu headquarters and then he's going to sit down and have a working lump with the newly elected french president. the president -- this is his first time going to a summit like this. the first time sitting down with a large group of world leaders and kendis and diane it's not exactly president trump's trial so we're really baying attention to see how he reacts to this full slate of meetings and also how the other world leaders react to him. i think it is no surprise that he will certainly be the center of attention here today as other
4:08 am
leaders try to get a couple of seconds of his time while they can. >> sounds like the while trip has been a big mish-mash of things not usually his style in these unorthodox meetings and whatnot so we'll continue to watch closely. karen travers live from brussels, thanks. the justice department confirmed attorney general jeff sessions did not disclose his contacts with the russian diplomat on his security clearance form. they say an fbi official had advised sessions not to report meetings with foreign dignitaries that were connected to his job as a senator. sessions had recused himself from the investigation into russia's election meddling after failing to reveal those meetings during his confirmation hearing. now to the west coast and new video just in of major flooding in an youscale neighborhood in southern california. officials in newport beach say a contractor damaged a critical seawall when the tide came in, the flooding began. nearly 2 inches of water in some homes. investigators say the seawall was damaged by accident. there's also flooding in ohio this morning. at least one tornado has been
