coming out of afghanistan. it's breaking news. there's chaos in kabul as a powerful explosion rocks one of the most heavily guarded areas of that country's capital city. richard engel has the latest on all this. richard, good morning. what can you tell us? >> good morning. this is one of the worst bombings there have been in afghanistan recently. the death toll according to afghan officials is at 350 people injured. the death toll has been going up all morning. the taliban denied responsibility and quickly came out and said it wasn't responsible for the attack which would make isis the most likely suspect. the bomb exploded at a strategic juncture at the heart of international efforts to support the afghan government. first responders were quick to arrive. this is supposed to be the mo

detonated by the gate of the german beside. the american embassy is just a few blocks away. so is an entrance to a fortified military base that is the head quarters for american and nato troops. the blast went off around 8:30 a.m. just as embassy and base employees mostly afghans were heading to work. the trump administration is struggling to come up with a new policy for afghanistan. the country is more unstable than it's been in years, and bombing alone isn't fixing it. after recently dropping the so-called mother of all bombs on what the u.s. military called an isis tunnel network, u.s. officials say u.s. is considering sending up to 5,000 more troops. that would bring the number of 10,000 troops fighting a

the center of kabul. the turkish embassy said its buildings were damaged. the japanese embassy said some of the personnel were lightly injured. >> a rush hour attack in the heart of kabul. richard, thank you very much. here at home there are some major developments in a congressional investigation into russia's interference in the militia election. while president trump is lighting up the internet with a bizarre tweet. peter alexander is at the white house with all the development. >> reporter: good morning. covfefe , we'll let you make the call. the president's ability to harness social media helped propel him to the white house. this morning that unique job lake megaphone is raising new questions about who is actually monitoring the president's primary means of communication with both the american people and the world. this morning confusion over a tweet after president trump posted a

the constant negative press, followed by covfefe . the seemingly unfinished tweet was deleted just a short time ago followed by this tweet from the president just after 6:00 a.m. who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe ? enjoy. meanwhile the associated press is reporting overnight that president trump has been handing out his cell phone to world leaders. urging his counterparts from canada, mexico and france to call him directly. it's an unusual invitation that breaks protocol raising issues about the security of the u.s. commander in chief's communications. the a.p. reporting that so far only canada's prime minister has taken the president up on the offer. all of it comes amid the backdrop of the russia investigation as michael flynn is now expected to provide the senate intelligence committee some persol d siss dome related to the russia investigation. according to a source close to

expanding. congressional investigators requesting information from michael cohen and former campaign spokesman. cohen saying i have nothing to hide. i'm more than happy and willing to testify. but they have to be specific. epstein's lawyer says he's waiting for more information before responding. as president trump's son-in-law jared kushner remains silent, white house officials are not denying reports he sought to seek up back channel communications with russian officials in the weeks before president trump took office. >> you're asking if he confirms of an action that's not confirmed. back channels are an appropriate part of diplomacy. >> reporter: the white house is trying to find the proper message on the issue surrounding jared kushner and his kalkts with. this was the first time sean spicer briefed i

they'll try the best way to suggest it. it's different than the one surrounding sean spicer. >> there's clearly frustration in the white house about the amount of attention this russia investigation is getting, but with each passing week and with each new name being brought into this investigation, have the people at the white house started to accept the fact this is going to be around for a long time? >> matt, for sure. it's clear this isn't thing anywhere. the white house recogniz that. i spoke to a close associate of the president who told me the seriousness of the investigation really began to settle in for the president when he got back from his recent foreign trip over the weekend. it's part of the reen that others came home early from the trip and they're setting up a war room as some are describing it and why the president's team is looking to bring on board some new man power, most recently interviewing corey lewandowski

i'm told for the moment it's unlikely they join. >> and peter, back to the tweet for a minute. a typo is just a typo. it's not the end of the world. the president himself poking some fun at it this morning. on the other hand, does it signal any larger concern? i keep remembering melania trump saying she wishes the president would stop tweeting. is this a concern inside the white house? >> reporter: he hasn't stopped tweeting despite that advice. this is funny for a moment, but it raises real questions. first of all, account security. who tweeted it? was it the president, which aides have his passwords? and what if he'd been announcing something for serious. it seems farfetched but anything is possible. you think about how much of a distraction the wiretapping claims he made against obama caused. this new tweet comes out as white house aides are floating the idea of trying to make sure the president's social media ts

lawyers to create a system. one adviser said so the tweets don't go from the president's minds out to the universe. but one said have you ever met this president? >> peter, you say covfefe . i say covfefe . everybody is talking about it this morning. let us turn to frightening moments on a jet blue flight. an emergency landing after the battery in a passenger's laptop caught fire. that incident coming amid the growing dakota over whether most electronics should be banned from the cabins of planes. nbc gabe gutierrez is with us. >> reporter: there are no reported links to terrorism in this incident, but it comes as homeland security issues are debating how to handle electronics on planes. the potential ban would mean that anything bigger than a cell phone would have to be checked with luggage on

about to see, those lithium batteries could pose their own risk. >> reporter: this morning passengers are still reeling after a jet blue plane from new york to san francisco was forced to land after smoke started coming out of a carryon bag. >> we looked back in row 25 and started standing up and smoke coming around. we didn't what was goin on. >> reporter: none of the people on board were injured. jet blue saying in part, the flight landed safely and the aircraft is being inspected by maintenance crews before customers continue to san francisco. while there are no reported ties to terrorism, the incident comes as the department of homeland security says an expanded laptop ban from europe to the u.s. is still on the table. >> still contemplating extending the ban. >> reporter: on a call with european fish

secretary said he would implement any and all. if the intelligence and threat level warrant it. >> that's really the thing that they're obsessed with, the terrorists. the idea of knocking down an airplane in flight. >> reporter: why the delay? it's no small change. it's in the middle east and north africa in ten airplanes. expabding it to european airplanes would affect 105,000 passengers a day. >> if this goes into effect, it will be an convenience for all passengers across the board. people's laptops and electronics are indispensable. >> reporter: also unresolved whether there's a type of gate check system for passengers who forget to put their electronics in their checked luggage and what about the

lithium batteries in the cargo hold. a final decision could take weeks. all right. gabe, thank you very much. >> now to a test for the military. it shows how tense things are getting. on tuesday the pentagon tested a long-range intercepter missile over the pacific motion. it hit and destroyed a missile fired from a test site toward the u.s. homeland. it was meant to simulate a missile korea might one day launch against the u.s. it came days after kim jong-un watched a missile test. here's the story a lot of people are talking about. it's a controversy swirling around kathy griffin after she posted graphic photos of herself holding a severed head in the likeness of president trump. stephanie gosk is here with that

>> good morning. kathy griffin has spent a career pushing the boundaries of comedy. her critics say the images are more than a failed attempt at humor. they are offensive and the anger keeps growing. this morning she's apologizing and asking for forgiveness. a warning to our viewers. the images are graphic. this morning kathy griffin is all apologies. >> i sincerely apologize. i went way too far. the image is too disturbing. i understand how it offends people. >> reporter: after facing condemnation over a controversial photo shoot showing the 59 comedian holding a bloody likeness of trump's head. >> i'm shooting with tyler shields who is talented. this is fake blood just so you know. >> reporter: the video of the photo shoot posted by griffin begins with a warning. >> i won't give away what we're doing, but tyler and i are not afraid to do images that make noise.

she joked about the reaction the photo shoot would get from law enforcement. >> we have to go to mexico because we're going to prison. >> reporter: online the reaction was swift and few laughs. inappropriate, disgusting, upsetting. some calling the stunt dumb. the president stayed out of it, but his son tweeted disgusting but not surprising. this is the left today. chelsea clinton also writing this is vile and wrong. it is never funny to joke about killing a president. there were immediate calls for griffin to be fired from the new year's eve show she hosts on cnn. anderson cooper tweeting, for the record, i am appalled by the photo shoot kathy griffin took part in. it is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate. cnn echoing his reaction saying it's, quote, evaluating new year's eve. without specifically mentioning griffin, the secret sece

tweeted threats made against protectees receive the highest investigation. kathy griffin wrote obviously i don't condone any violence by my fans or others to anyone. fulled by an apology. >> i went too far. i made a mistake, and i was wrong. >> reporter: forgiveness might not be an option for some. after the images were posted, it wasn't just fierce reaction online. federal law enforcement iv a flood of calls from people both outraged and concerned about the president. >> she had no choice but to apologize, because it was way over the line. >> crosses every line. thank you. this morning we're hearing from the man accused of killing two people and injuring another in portland, oregon. jeremy christian made his first court appearance but not without

free speech. >> he's charged with two counts offing a gaited murder and one count of attempted aggravated murder. he verbally attacked two young women on a train that he thought were muslim and three men launched to the girl's defense. the only stabbing victim to survive was in the courtroom tuesday. christian did not enter a plea. he's expected back in court on june 6th. part of a lock down last night. police responded to a disturbance in a recommendation car area. a man in mental distress pointed what looked like a gun at them and then at himself after a three-hour standoff, negotiators got him to surrender. the gun turned out to be a fake. some flights were delayed but the airport was back up and running later last night. all right. let's turn to mr. roker. can we get relief in the weather? something happy? >> no. we're ending may like

7:40, now, on this wednesday 7:407b8 wednesday morning. we're back with what we're learning about tiger woods. >> the police report is now out painting a clearer picture of what officers found that night. kerry sanders has the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. when tiger woods was arrested, police had a dash mounted camera recording. that recording will be released later today. it may best explain the condition tiger woods was in as he sat behind the steering wheel of his car. this morning it's clear from police reports when officers pulled up on tiger woods at 2:03:00 a.m. monday, he was out of it.

found woods asleep behind the wheel of his car. the car still running. the golfing legend appearing to nod off twice while being interviewed. both rims on the driver's side of the vehicle are damaged according to police and both tires on the driver's side are flat. officers say woods was cooperative, confused. his speech extremely slow and slurred. mumbled, confused. asked if he understood the direction to recite the alphabet as part of a sobriety test, police say he responded yes, recite the national anthem backwards? eventually he did get the alp alphabet part right. no alcohol in his system. that supports what he said in his written statement. alcohol was not involved. what happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. police say woods identified four medications he used including the

a series of back surgeries. this morning from golfing greats to golfing enthusiast, many are pulling for tiger. >> he's been great for the game of golf, and i think he needs all our help, and we wish him well. >> he's an inspiration to a lot of golfers around the country, and we just want to see him back healthy and ready to go. >> reporter: tiger woods who is a hero to many will be arranged in early july. >> all right. kerry, thank you. tiger woods becomes a high profile example of the growing problem in the u.s. which is drugged and driving. >> recent data shows drugs are involved in more fatal accidents than alcohol alone. what do you need to know about your medications and how they might affect you on the road? dr. oz is with us. good to see you. no alcohol involved in this. it was 0.000 on the scale. he admits he was taking vicodin. let's start there. how powerful a drug is that?

it turns out the raw material in vicodin, if you look at other medications, it's frequently found. number one most prescribed product in america now. more than thyroid medications, and i just checked before we went on the air. 800 other major drugs it interacts with. 800. you could be takiing vicodin wih a back pain problem. that's what we prescribe. and you might take an overcounter medication you didn't think he was going to be an issue, and you're falling asleep on the side of the road. >> is that the type of reaction you might fear if you mix it with something else unexpected? >> it's one of the most common problems we would fear. that's why you'll see warning labels on medications. but the problem with opiates is they numb you and dull you so you're not aware of what's going on. that's why they work for pain. they don't take away the

pain. imagine taking a medication for a reason, and then taking another sedating medication, like anti-depressants. because drugs interact, you'll end up with symptoms that are unpredictable. >> could you walk us through some of the drugs and their effects? >> sure. i made a list. there's a graphic we'll put up. everyone reacts differently. observe yourself. anti-depressants mimic being drunk if they're of the depressing quality. valium, 10 mgs will give you a blood alcohol that is effectively drunk. they hurt your coordination. both problematic when you're operating a car. decongestants can cause drowsiness, and sleeping pills, this is a big problem. the sleeping

will still be in your blood when you wake up if it's a sustained release. that's why many folks are uncomfortable. i tell my family the day after you take a new drug that might have a side effect like this, do not drive. don't do anything. once you get used to using a medication, adjust your reaction time and gauge how dangerous it might be for you. in england, they say five days after taking narcotics, don't drive a car. that's how dangerous the things can be. >> all right. dr. oz. useful information. thank you so much. >> good reminder. thank you. coming up next, carson in the orange room and more on the president's twitter typo covfefe . >> how do you say it? >> covfefe ? covfefe . >> right after this. 3 terrible two's, and a one-coat wonder named "grams". it survived multiple personalities,

executed is still being worked out by a small team including the head of the environmental protection agency. scott pruitt. just last week a top white house aide said the president's views on climate change are evolving. this is 195 countries that are involved in this agreement. some of the outliers that said no, nicaragua and syria. the six other leaders of the g7 countries reaffirmed their support for the deal just last week. here's why this matters. pulling out is the most dramatic action president trump can take to roll back one of president trump's proudest diplomatic accomplishments. it risks sending a message to the world that the u.s. doesn't view combatting climate change as a priority and notably many top republicans had recently called for a clean exit from the deal as well. matt, back to you. >> all right. peter alexander at the white house with breaking news on that. peter, thank you. the death toll has been climbing overnight after a massive explosion in
