the costello: i do not have to read them all.he fascinating thing about the platform is the different way in which it is used every day around the world and the sort of surprising moments that surface on a platform that you have never thought about or have not even occur to. emily: the number of users has quadrupled since he became ceo. it is one of the most highly scrutinized, most mainstream fashion line the costello: nobody scrutinizes it. i do not know what you are talking about. [laughter] emily: did you ever think you would be here when you were growing up in detroit? costello: not at all. i was really took life as it happened. this of my family and extended family was an automobile industry. my dad worked for pontiac chemical worked for ford. worked ford chrysler, so i only apply to the university of michigan. i did not go look at schools. when people say now, what were you going to do if you did not get into michigan -- you know [laughter] that implies i had some sort of strategy. i didn't. emily: michael you got in. -- l

let's bring back in tom costello.ble to take off? >> a couple things. united airlines says they are, in fact recovering from a connectivity, and to quote them directly, they say they do expect to get this back up and running soon and they also said we will have a waiver available at united.com for customers who are able to change their flight plan. so if for whatever reason your flight is delayed or canceled today or because of the massive delays it's not going to work for you, united says they will have a waiver available to you, therefore, you wouldn't hopefully have to pay a change fee. i've also received e-mails and tweets from friends of mine at different cities around the country. denver, one of them at denver international airport reporting significant backups, long lines, i should say, inside the terminal at the united ticket counter. and adam reese, who is at newark airport, says surprisingly it's not bad at newark right now, so that's interesting. and lax, we're told is a bit of a mess at the ticket counter.

nbc's tom costello joins me from right outside the navy yard. also joining me nbc's jim miklaszewski. tom, as we await this news conference, are you hearing anything about how all this started? >> reporter: i think that's a big mystery right now, alex. we heard there was some sort of an initial call to 911 possibly from inside the navy yard itself. that triggered this massive response from all of the area police departments federal, local, as well as fire and rescue response. behind me you can see the police presence has now dramatically come down. they are now starting to pick up and leave. and really the biggest presence down the street closer to the navy yard itself has also started to lessen. in fact, if you can pan up the street right there, you'll see there's a s.w.a.t. team vehicle right there. they're also pulling out. that armored vehicle right there that has what looks like a federal insignia on it -- no, it's metropolitan police s.w.a.t. team vehicle. all of this now starting to come down rather dramatically. this started, we're told

poppy harlow in for my friend carol costello. this morning we begin with this millions of americans are waking up to a long holiday weekend. but they know there will be no rest for the nation's law enforcement. iconic landmarks in new york and washington, first responders are on alert. the possibility of a home grown attack potentially inspired by isis hangs like a cloud over this year's fourth of july celebration. the concerns even rippling overseas. a british air base in eastern england cancelling its fourth of july festivities. obviously you look at new york city penn station, all the people heading out of town. i assume you've got a lot of police in uniform and also plain clothed officers there. >> yes. a heavy law enforcement presence here at penn station. tens of millions of americans set to travel this weekend. places like penn station are getting extra attention for law enforcement. they're aiming to make sure that everyone has a safe and secure fourth of july. >> they're reaching out on social media, telling people it's

i'm carol costello. thank you for joining me this morning. we're on the brink of two major agreements. one that could impact your bottom line and the other that could shape america's foreign policy. in greece there's a deal! european leaders approved a measure to get greece billions of loans and keep it in the euro. the deal needs to be approved. >>> after 17 straight days of negotiations it looks like the nuclear deal with iran is within reach. negotiators now poring over the fine print with a deadline now nine hours away but even if they shake hands some in congress want to block the deal. our cnn reporters are covering the stories from every angle this morning. but let's start with a potential new lifeline for greece. we're waiting to see how wall street will react to the news of the bailout deal that could infuse as much as $96 billion into the debt-strapped country. european leaders spent 17 long hours hammering out the agreement which is said to call for serious economic reforms. it is a major first step for a country quickly running ou

we are getting an all-clear from nbc's tom costello.retired atf official jim cavanaugh. how do you walk back this response in terms of what jim miklaszewski was alerting to earlier, that officials want to calm everybody down that was the quote he was reporting? what is the messaging that has to come out and calm everyone down indeed? >> first, it's going to come out from the press conference. the commanders will tell us what happened, give us a complete picture so the public can know. the navy will have to do that as well with their employees like jim described, let's talk about what happened, let's not be critical of people however they reacted. certainly we can all understand how you would react in a place like this. we can pick any of the awful massacres around the country -- >> nobody wants to take any chances obviously in a situation like this. >> that's right. >> you don't want the response to be underwhelming. >> that's exactly right. i think from the police and law enforcement command, chief lanier and the commanders of the agen

. >> tom costello was one of the first on the scene this morning. and joins us from the washington newsroom. a lot of us were taken back by the show of force and how quickly the agencies arrived on the scene. >> i was at the exact same intersection nearly two years ago for the 2013 shooting in which 12 people were killed. i have to tell you i thought the scene was reminiscent of that. it was a robust response with multiple agencies. they came under criticism after the fact for having poor coordination and poor communication. radio is not able to communicate with one another. today it looks very similar. very robust response from multiple agencies there to police atf, fbi but the police chief said today they had better coordination better tactical information and coordination between the agencies but as we said he had radio problems two years ago and the issue has been could they address these issues and get them resolved in a post 9/11 world. the discussion was about that. it was not an active shooter situation and a good test to see whether all of

we get more now from nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: the question tonight -- was someone within the baltimore police department trying to taunt prisoners with this sign found inside an arrest van that reads "enjoy your ride cuz we sure will." in april 25-year-old freddie gray suffered a fatal spinal cord injury after being arrested and placed inside a similar van without a seat belt. his death touched off weeks of protests and riots. >> no justice! >> no peace! >> reporter: just last week a leaked autopsy report concluded gray's death likely occurred when the van in which he was riding suddenly decelerated. >> we have probable cause to file criminal charges. >> reporter: six police officers have pleaded not guilty to charges related to his death. veteran law enforcement officers say the sign in the van sends the wrong message in baltimore. >> insulting the people you arrest just works against you in the long run. you need to treat everybody with respect. >> reporter: in a statement baltimore police say "the nature and the posting of wording in one of our transport vehicles is both c
