clarissa, chris? >> suzanne, we'll see what happens. those are uncommon words for mitch mcconnell. he usually dictates what happens. not this time, though. let's discuss that with our panel. cnn political analyst maggie haberman and david gregory and cnn politics editor at large chris cillizza, the author of the new cnn newsletter "the point with chris cillizza." that es a catchity title. mitch mcconnell known for getting his ducks in a row. what went wrong? >> mitch mcconnell kept some people who could have been a moderating influence, let him know this was not headed for a good end out of the process early on, the president also hat not been very involved. some of that is by design. it's hard to understand the length to which the andy dean heller ad played a role. that freaked out members of the gop caucus. it was meant to send a signal, many into to say there was going to be a price for going against the president. however, dean heller is really embattled. it created the position of chaos. you saw what happened. you saw mitch mcconnell call reince priebus, the chief of staff to

>> good morning, clarissa. the president has already tweeted out twice this morning, first about crime in chicago and potentially sending federal help there, and then about the repeal and replacement of obamacare. these early morning tweets very different than yesterday's, in which he went in a very personal direction attacking a cable news host and taking the national conversation about politics in this country in an unexpected direction. >> mr. president, do you regret your tweets? >> reporter: president trump silent amid growing outrage over his attack on mika brzezinski, calling her crazy and falsely claiming when she visited mar-a-lago over new year's, she was, quote, bleeding badly from a facelift. >> maddening any frustrated. this is beneath the dignity of a president of the united states or at least it should. >> the vitriol sparking widespread condemnation from republicans and democrats alike. >> it's blatantly sexless. >> i was stunned by it. >> i'm not going to defend his tweet. it was ugly. >> do th

international correspondent clarissa ward, live in london for us. what's the latest, clarissa? >> reporter: hi, alisyn. well, we're here near the site of one of the attacks in borough market. you can see behind me there is still a large police presence. and yesterday the police were saying they did not believe there was any larger network involved with this attack. today they seem to be dialing that language back a little bit, saying that they are still investigating whether or not there is a larger network. 11 people have been arrested so far, and we do not yet know, or i should say, the police have not yet given out publicly the identity of those three attackers. take a look. [ sirens ] >> clear the area now! >> reporter: british authorities are scrambling to determine if the three attackers are connected to a foreign terror network. london's metropolitan police carrying out a number of raids and arrests as isis claims responsibility for saturday's attack. although no evidence currently exists to back up the claim. neighbors at this raided apartment complex stunned after reco

we have clarissa ward with more. clarissa? >> reporter: i think by the time president trump made the announcement, world leaders have come to the realization that president trump was choosing to join the ranges of assad and daniel ortega. we have seen reaction. disappointing, but not surprising. that was from the australian prime minister. canadian prime minister calling it disappointing. british prime minister theresa may when she spoke to president trump expressed her disappointme disappointment. you are sensing a theme here. you mentioned the statement from italy, germany and france. they talked about how much they regretted donald trump's decision. you said there will not been any ren renegotiation of the paris agreement. and emmanuel macron, newly elected, had a riff on one of donald trump's favorite slogans. >> we all share the same responsibility. make our planet great again. >> reporter: and finally the german weekly news magazine did a riff on another one of donald trump's slogans. if we can pull up the offer. it says

clarissa will be back. the investigation is intensifying into what happened saturday night in london. prime minister theresa may just made news for us. let's get to cnn's alex marquardt. what do we know now? >> reporter: there have been, chris. two new raids overnight here in the neighborhood nearby. 11 people taken into custody. including seven women. so far it is unclear how they are connected to the attackers. we heard from the london metro police who said a huge amount of forensic material have been seized. we are getting a fuller picture of how the attack took place. few details about the attackers. a short time ago, prime minister may that the identities of the attackers have known. >> the police identified all three attackers. when progress in the investigation permits, metro police will release the names. >> reporter: so the bigger question going forward is going to be how to prevent these attacks. three major attacks in the uk in the past nine weeks. this morning on the bbc, the metropolitan police

clarissa, you are absolutely right. we have heard nothing in the way of numbers at this point in terms of potential victims in these different incidents that police are responding to but we do know from an eyewitness on the scene who we talked to earlier that there were at least a handful of people he saw who had been hit by the vehicle driving across london bridge. senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is at the scene. fred, i understand you are joined by an eyewitness as well. >> reporter: hi, ana. i'm joined by neal tate. you were in the area here tonight. tell me what you saw. >> i guess the main thing i saw is two, maybe three guys being arrested, very heavy police presence. i found myself trapped in an alleyway trying to get to borough high street and found myself right in the middle of an arrest situation. it was like two guys -- i would have said did he haefinitely tw maybe three pushed up against the shop front. >> reporter: by police officers? >> by police, yeah. by what i could see they weren't arm

joining me now with the latest from london, clarissa ward, senior national correspondent. clarissa, we just heard from the health service that 21 of those patients remain in critical condition. this indicates some of the stabbing wounds were quite severe. what's the latest where you're at? >> reporter: that's right, it is entirely possible, brian, and we've seen this in many attacks of this nature before that the death toll will indeed rise. as you said, so far seven people confirmed dead and 12 people still in hospital in critical condition. meanwhile we're also learning that 12 people have been arrested this morning. notwithstanding that, there has not been a decision made, brian, to lift the threat level to critical. it is currently on severe, which is the second highest level. after the manchester attacks, the threat level was elevated to critical. but in this instance, the impression we're being given is they do not believe there is a larger network beyond the three attackers who, as you said, were killed on the scene, shot dead by police, and i should add, according

cnn's senior international correspondent clarissa ward is at 10 downing street right now. earlier prime minister may came out and made a statement. she implied last night's attack was islamic terror and said after three attacks in britain in as many months, enough is enough. what do we know about this attack? is it part of a pattern of a consistent plot? >> reporter: well, this is an interesting one, fareed, because it has hallmarks of some attacks we've seen, but it's a little bit different to others. essentially what happened last night as a lot of people would have been out enjoying restaurants and bars in an area known as borough market, a van containing three assailants mowed down a bunch of people, eyewitnesses describing horrifying scenes, people jumping 20, 30 feet in the air. the van careened past london bridge. at that point the assailants got out of the vehicle. they were carrying large knives and they began essentially, fareed, to run into restaurants and bars and stab people. now, within eight minutes, eight minutes, a really extraordinarily rapid response tim

clariss clarissa ward, incidents in paris -- clarissa stepped away.a week ago outside the noter dam cathedral. we are seeing attacks there. we don't know the nature there, but that is a city on edge. >> very much so. paris experienced the attacks, most notably november, 2015, there was that incident and the build up to the first round of presidential elections where a terrorist inspired by isis shot dead a french policeman near here. unfortunately, france still has problems just like the uk has. it's also important to look at the timing of a lot of the isis inspired attacks. they tend to take place during ramadan. for the last three years, isis is trying to hijack this religious event for their own purposes. there's still some time before ramadan ends. we may have to expect more of these incidents against civilians and police. isis talked about targeting the police. >> the attack overnight in london was targeting muslims. they have the london attack and what happened in paris. it was vehicles ramming into things. there's really very few ways to protec

>> clarissa ward in london for us with the latest there. klarissa, thank you. i want to go back to representative andre carson of indiana, a member of the intelligence committee. congressman, do you believe these attackers had direct ties to isis? was this attack, in other words, ordered and organized by isis, or was it inspired, if it was, by isis? >> i can't speak to that at this point, but what i will say is isis is a poison along with other extremist groups who cloak their evil intentions in the language of religion. they purport to be muslim, and i think in a very real sense it is time that we work with our global partners, and i know that president obama's cbe efforts were controversial, but i think they had great value in terms of working with the law enforcement community, working with the faith community and working with congregants and essentially saying if you see something, say something and hard when you're going about your life and meeting your obligation to monitor people, given that we're in the midst of budget cuts for law enforcement agent cir

we have claurhave clarissa ward in london. >> reporter: alisyn, i think by the time the president made the announcement, the other countries realized that the president would rise to the ranks of daniel ortega or assad. there is an outpouring of reaction from leaders. the theme here as the australian prime minister called it disappointing. canada's prime minister called it disappointing. british prime minister theresa may told president trump on the phone she was disappointed. italy and germany and france issued a joint statement to express regret. more to the point, alisyn, they doubled down on the idea there will be no renegotiation of the paris agreement. we heard from president macron who had a funny riff on one of president trump's favorite slogans. >> we all share the same responsibility. make our planet great again. >> reporter: finally, i just want to show you the cover of a german weekly news magazine. der spiegel. playing on one of the slogans. america first. earth last. >> stay with us. let's bring in reporter chris cillizza and congressional reporter for the washington post

c clarissa ward is at downing street. you were there when she was talking about combating the ideolo ideolo ideology. >> reporter: she wasn't mincing her words and said clearly enough is enough. she said great britain has been too tolerant for too long of extremism and she called out social media companies and tech companies have to bear more responsibility for the fact that these social media sites have become somewhat of a breeding ground and that has allowed the so-called copycat killings in a sense and she made it clear the three attacks in the uk the last three months are not connected and somehow the ideology spread on the social media sites is inspiring so many young people to launch these kind of attacks and where why we are seeing recurring themes of use of vehicles. we saw that happen in nice last summer and berlin over christmas. we saw it on westminster bridge and because we have seen isis come out repeatedly and say to their followers if you can't get a hold of a gun or you can't build a bomb yourself, take w

does appear to be saying america first and that's it, guys. >> clarissa ward in london, thank you. van, why does this have to mean that the u.s. is seeding anything in terms of manufacturing green products or green jobs in exporting them abroad? we have a private energy sector that is able to do whatever it wants to do. >> well, there's a couple things. first of all, rules matter. market signals matter. i don't think people have understood -- we talked about science and climate and polar bears and all of that sort of stuff and in fact we are in the middle of an extinction event. but let's talk about how america gets to be great again. let's talk about putting america first, let's talk about that. this is the way that you do it. you get the rest of the world bought into a carbon constrained growth strategy and pull the rug from out of the middle east and they say where are we going to get this clean energy technology? have you ever heard of tesla or california? you are literally throwing away customers. here's the other thing. you could put the entire rustbelt back to work. i'm abou

what are your thoughts with this news, clarissa? >> reporter: gewe are getting me information from the russian defense ministry as to what they think happened. they say on may 28th they carried out an air strike targeting in raqqah. they say during the course of the air strike, some 330 isis personnel were killed. among them 30 mid level or what they describe as mid level field commanders. already, alisyn, that raises a red flag. isis is savvy now. they have been dealing with air strikes and drone strikes for years. they understand it is not visibadvis adviseable to move around in large groups or congregate in large groups. that sounds strange. the russian defense ministry heard from various challennnelst abu bakr al bagdadi was attending the meeting. they are now looking into trying to confirm that. of course, it is very difficult to confirm that. how do you confirm that without some dna evidence? is there even a dna sample of abu bakr al bagdadi out there? would they be able to recover the body if it was 330 people killed in a sin

clarissa ward is live in london. what have you learned? >> reporter: hi, alisyn. behind me is borough market where the attack took place. there is still a large police presence here, we've seen forensics team going in. they know the identity of the three attackers, they're not sharing it with the public yet and we have been continuing with raids, searching four different homes, arresting 11 different people as they tried to determine for sure and conclusively that the network does not stretch any further. number of raids and arrests as isis claims responsibility for saturday's attack. although no evidence currently exists to back up the claim. neighbors at this raided apartment complex stunned, after recognizing one of the dead attackers, who they describe as a quiet family man. >> the man i know he was a wonderful guy. >> reporter: one woman, however, did have concerns which she claims she brought to police. >> all of a sudden we saw this gentleman, individual, speaking to the kids about islam, and showed them how to pray. >> reporter: locals showing cnn the mosq

. >> all right, clarissa ward, thank you so much for that important report. be sure to follow me on facebook and twitter @jaketapper. we actually read them if you send them. now stay tuned for wolf blitzer. >>> happening now, breaking news. clearance backlash. a top democrat suggests the president's son-in-law jared kushner should have his security clearance suspended while being investigated for contacts with russia. elijah cummings also wants the white house to turn over all information on the clearances for kushner and fired national security adviser michael flynn. >>> attempted breach. homeland security officials saying cyber attackers trying to break into the election systems in 21 states, and the homeland security chief says the effort was personally directed by vladimir putin. are the russians still at it? >>> airport terror attack? a suspect is now being questioned in the stabbing of a police officer in the airplane at flint, michigan. the fbi is investigating whether this was an act of terrorism. >>> and life of luxury. amid signs of new activity in

let's go live to moskow andbri in cnn's clarissa bashen. good morning, to you clara.d morning, dave. >> reporter: according to comey's testimony donald trump described the whole russia investigation as a cloud over his presidency. now, you could argue the same with russia. certainly a lot of plitices here about how that whole controversy is preventing trump about carrying out his pro-russia policies he had on the campaign trail. it's flipped the narrative here. france, cata, just this week -- it's called russo-phobia or fake news. and people here view this as ridiculous and offensive. it's really important to remember there's a presidential election next year where putin is widely expected to run again. the signs of political chaos elsewhere as the public views it that way, that is no bad thing for him. and another thing, russia is ramping up its own outside allegations of russian meddling. so there's a real sense here, dave, that while the chaos and confusion over russia rages in washington, the kremlin is really using this opportunity to get things done, to work tow

clarissa ward. >> good to be here. >> for seven years republicans have been united by a simple battled replace obamacare. well, the troubling realities of that same pledge now has senate republicans divided. mitch mcconnell, the famed tactician dealt a blow forced to delay on trump care as they try to rework their bill. there are now nine republican senators against this gop bill. can the president, a self-described master negotiator win over votes. >>> long time trump associate roger stone agreeing to testify next month before a house panel on russian's election interferen interference. stone is expected to challenge testimony of john podesta who met with investigators on tuesday and we'll talk about president trump's warning to the syrian regime about chemical weapons. we have it all covered. but let's begin with susanne live on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning. well, the future of the senate health care bill senate leaders are trying to get some kind of agreement this week. senate leaders, despite that hopeful talk really seeing the same hurdles they faced in the last couple

clarissa ward joining me. have you as always. >> good to be here. >> we have breaking news on the starting line. president trump's revised travel ban is going to take effect tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern time, the administration announcing new criteria for visa applicants from six muslim nationtis and refugees. the presidencies a clear threat but is apparently not convinced that russian hacking is a continuing threat. several senior administration officials expressing frustration with president trump's refusal to take action against russia for interfering in the elections. >> if pyongyang conducts another nuclear or missile test, all eyes on capitol hill today as republicans scramble to improve the senate's health care bill. president trump is raising expectations promising a big surprise. we have it all covered. let's start with cnn's laura jarrett live in washington. what can you tell us? >> after months of winding its way through the courts, portions of president trump's revised travel ban will finally go in

clarissa ward is outside ten downing street. the prime minister delivered remarks with a much tougher tone than we have heard in the past. >> reporter: that's right, john, she wasn't mincing her words here. in addition to the three attacks in the last three months, she said that actually five significant terror plots have been disrupted by security services during that time, so there is definitely a growing realization that this is a serious problem here in the united kingdom. the prime minister went on to kind of elucidate several ways in which she would seek to try to deal with this problem. she spoke of the need to deal with social media and with the tech giants who run these various social media platforms because of course this is the number one way in which what she called this sort of evil islamist extremist ideology is being proliferated and it's also the number one way in which various individuals can find each other, come together, as we saw last night's attack, not a lone wolf, three attackers working together. she als

clarissa ward is live at downing street where the prime minister said this is islamic extreme. >> reporter: she had quite clearly, as you had, this was islam extremism ideology and said that britain has been too tolerant of this ideology too long and she would do a reboot, if you will, of britain's current counterterrorism practices, although not clear or how the counterterrorism practices may be changed and which any changes could prevent future attacks like the one we saw last night from happening. she also had bad word to lash out for the social media companies and the involvement of tech companies, because, of course, they, in a sense, are unwittingly, perhaps, providing a platform for the spread of the ideology and for networking to happen for individuals who may share this ideology to connect to each other. she was very clear about the need to tackle the ideology. we have head there rhetoric from politicians again and again. obviously, much easier said than done but take a listen to what she had. >> we cannot allow this ideology the safe space it need to breed. yet, that is precisely

clarissa ward has been with me this week. you've been great.ith me. >> thanks for having me. >> one of the -- always a pleasure to have one of the best by my side. >>> washington has found a point of agreement perhaps. donald trump's sexist comments about another female tv host are beneath the dignity of the office of president of the united states. the white house is engulfed in bipartisan outrage from the latest self-inflicted roadblock which is preventing the president from moving forward more aggressively with his agenda. white house officials, even a female press secretary, defending the tweets, excusing it as a response to being attacked mercilessly saying the public is eating -- is fighting fire with fire. >> new reporting on russia's election meddling from the "wall street journal" that says a longtime gop operative tried to get hillary clinton's e-mails from hackers which implies he had a connection to fired national security adviser michael flynn. and the partial trump travel ban now in effect with fiances now making the cut under the

we are in london covering all the, unfortunately, clarissa, your assignment has been covering all theon and beyond. the mayor called the city resilient and said this has been a terrible few weeks for london. how are londoners handling all of this? obviously, it's difficult to say, a blanket statement. are folks afraid or changing their routines? >> reporter: i mean, so far, we don't see so much indication that people are afraid or changing their routines, although, of course, i have spoken to some who don't feel comfortable riding on the subway because they have fears about that. i know when i told my mother i was going to a concert on saturday night, she was concerned about that. even though the british people are stoic and remaining positive and sticking todayly lives as usual, there's no question, there is a sense of unease and anxiety. it's hard to overstate how brutal the past few weeks have been for the britt people. the hits keep coming. you have the terrible attack in manchester, the terrible attack in london bridge, last week, an awful fire in an apartment building that kille

started when he was just a teenager, earned good money and he married his high school sweetheart, clarissa, how much money were you make something. >> we averaged about $80,000 a year. >> there was one year i got up to $90,000. >> that was just basic. >> then two years ago, michael lost his job. >> when you guys sit down at the dinner table, what do you guys >> yes. >> we joined michael two months ago on a typical morning. up before sunrise, driving to a mine to look for work. >> what's the drill? what are you going to do when you get there? >> explain to them i'm there for a job. see how that works, you know. >> the result was the day before and the day before that. michael was back in his car in less than a minute. >> that's how long it takes you to get shot down. >> that's it? >> yep. >> done? no job. michael's story is very familiar to rusty. friends still approach him every day with their own heartbreak. >> they sit and look at you and say, rusty, what am i going to do? i'm going to lose my home. and they just lose their identity because their work is who they are. you know, there's d

clarissa, we were discussing the timing of this is important given ramadan is coming right before thek and it's coming on the day before a manchester benefit concert that will will be happening a few hours northwest of london, and so there are multiple things that have raised the security across the country and have also made it a prime time for terrorists to do something just like this. >> that's right, ana. just a week ago british authorities had raised the terror threat level here in the uk to critical. it had not been raised to critical which is the highest level, by the way, for a decade. subsequently they revert ed to severe but certainly there are a number it of elements which you just touched upon in terms of timing which make this attack sadly rather unsurprising. one of those is ramadan, the holy month, traditionally a month we see groups like isis call upon their followers to launch whatever attacks they can. as we see them getting squeezed on the battlefield in iraq, we have seen that manifest it self in an added attempt to launch these types of attacks overseas particular
