a couple of big issues facing the european union. many borders within the eu don't require passport checks. the other problem is geography. greece, for example has hundreds of islands presenting a major challenge to stop someone from entering. >> pat, thank you. we are also getting a new look at the frightening moments when one of the gunmen in friday's attacks opened fire inside of the cafe. it shows the chaotic moments as customers inside duck for cover. a woman runs inside after getting shot in the wrist as others dive under tables and then at one point you see the gunman go up to a woman just outside the cafe's front door. she managed to get away saying later she believed the gun jammed. and now taking a live look at 14th street. this is near independence avenue in northwest d.c. it is foggy out there, but this was the latest site of a security incident here in d.c.
