british authorities will not be sharing information with the americans over this investigation because of those leaks but those photographs reveal a high level of sophistication in that bomb, there was a hand detonator. it wasn't simple. that means there could be a more experienced bomb maker out there. that's the focus right now. >> chilling to see those. lucy, thank you. now to a stunning development in today's special election in montana. republican house candidate greg gianforte allegedly body slammed a reporter for the guardian ben jacobs. jacobs was trying to ask about the gop health care bill when the incident happened. witnesses corroborated his claims and "the guardian" uploaded this audio from the confrontation. >> talk to you about that later. >> there's not going to be time. >> speaker shane please. >> sick and tired of you guys. the last guy that came in here you did the same thing. get the hell outf

connection. the budget itself has some lawmakers here worried, in part because of the math that even republicans say doesn't add up, the same $2 trillion used to justify big tax cuts, the biggest in history the white house says, and to balance the overall budget, defending the numbers saying that was done deliberately. some of the cuts the white house says aren't cuts like medicaid, slowing down the growth of that government insurance for lower working class americans, for people who have lower incomes, that's got some republicans here worried. other prominent republicans now saying the president's budget is dead on arrival as a result of that. also, the build-up of money for defense in lieu of money for the state department. and diplomacy. looking at a 30% cut, not everyone's comfortable with that. the pentagon has even said that more money for
