this is coming from the new york police department. y at this point there are no injuries from this incident. >> here in new york at cnn. >> here in new york. several floors of the cnn center have been evacuated, our floor included. at this point, negative on the question of whether there have been any injuries here. our concern was raised because we've seen a number of ambulances. they are exercising active precaution here because they don't know in incidences like this the extent of the threat. is there a secondary attack plan? are there other devices they don't know about? so again, these guys are trained for this. they train for it every day. they stage little mock responses all the time for incidents like this, to get on the scene quickly. we saw them in a real life scenario here do just that. >> the first responders have been remarkable here, as have all of our cnn colleagues who helped us get out safely and get us up on the air here to bring you the news as it is happening. how quickly this all transpired, wolf, i think is import

we'll stay on on this and in new york at the time one of building has been evacuated due to a suspicious package and device there which triggered the new york police departmentto send reparatory action forces and a bomb squad to the building this is still ongoing right this is a ongoing as we speak and we're showing pictures actually from new york outside the time warner building where c.n.n. is headquartered in new york seven are all these a siddons related linked. well with an untrained eye and i'm definitely an untrained eye compared to the experts the people who are now investigating this. it looks like they're linked and. the first indications that they have linked is of course that authorities came out and said ok the package or the device we found at the source compound and what has been sent to to hillary clinton this is connected it's hard to imagine that what was sent. to the obama's is not connected or linked to that. i have really no idea if c.n.n. center the incident there in new york could be related but of course it smacks like this but i think most important is to give the investigators and there's like plenty of investigators from different

there are representatives from du and reaching out to the new york police department. >>> the police department in the nearby city of newark has used these cameras for 8 years and recently signed a 5 year contract for 65 of the newest models and accessories, and they say their cameras are working and remain in service. >>> a school grounds keeper will have to decide whether get a reduced award in the round up case against monsanto. it's going to 2.8 million to 8 sufficient evidence that the product contributed to the death of johnson. they'll repeal despite the reduced amount. >> not only do you have this case and this large award, you're looking at my last count, more than 8,000 case as i cross the country where there are potential claims that are out there. if this award stands, more claims will come forward. >>> mr. johnson has until december 7th to decide if accept that, if he turns it down, there will be a new trial. his case was the first to go to trial, among 4,000 lawsuits nationwide against monsanto, followed by a claim that they developed cancer and other serious services in

intercepted that were on their way to the obama and the clinton a boy immediately called the new york police department an emergency team was sent here the package of now been removed from this building behind me and it has been transported to a facility in the bronx where it will be examined authorities are treating it as a possible pipe bomb yesterday of course we heard that it was rudimentary devices but they are functional they're on stable and they could have detonated at any time so these will be examined just like the one that was found here today and what would robert deniro be a target. well robert de niro the actor who of course as i mentioned this is his restaurant he has been a vocal critic of president even before trying became president for example prior

new york. it was intercepted at a mail sorting facility. that's the package, identical to the others we have seen sent all week. now on its way to a new york police departmentof manhattan. we also have this news just in to cnn. attorney general jeff sessions was scheduled to fly to louisville, kentucky, for an event today. he's now canceled that, he says to insure all the fbi's resources are at hand to find the person or persons behind these bombs. we have our jason carroll down at the location where the latest package was found. what can you tell us? >> we're waiting now for a press conference, which is expected to get under way in a few moments. you can see now, a number of cameras lined up. john miller with counterintelligence, nypd, expected to be one of the city officials who update us on exactly what they found here. we can tell you that that call came in at about 8:19 a.m. this morning. that, according to what an nypd officer told me just a few moments ago. postal workers here who had already been on alert to be on the lookout for suspicious packages, came across that package and immediately called it in. again, as you say, it fit the similar descrip

my answer to that is look at how the new york police department are taking this, and these are seriouseople taking their job seriously, and they do not waste resources like this. >> we don't know who the culprit is? >> this is not fake news. look at the way the new york police department is handling this. >> do we know, and we are trying to understand the intricacies of the post office, and is it possible they were all sent at once and only now one is arriving at robert de niro's office? >> they are trying to find another package that was sent to former vice president joe biden. >> how do they know about this? >> it could have been received at the sorting site, and that's a great question, we don't know. what this seems to indicate is this person -- there will be more, and certainly, you know, how this was sent, i think, will be the big focus of the fbi. >> stand by guys for one second if you will. >> we have one of our cnn reporters, mark morales, who is live at the scene on the phone. tell us what you are seeing there? >> it's a heavy response this morning, and you can hear helicopte

as we've heard from our colleagues, the new york city police department trains for this every single day. they have a massive intelligence bureau, resources that are dedicated to monitoring threats all over the world. right on scene there will be a command post, a forward deployed command post where nypd leadership will be working out of to quarterback what's going on there, in order to direct resources. back at lower manhattan at 1 police plaza, there's also a larger command post that's fusing together, sharing intelligence with various law enforcement agencies, monitoring developments all in realtime. again, the goal is to determine what they're dealing with, to gather as much information as they can, to push that information out to the people who need it, in order to ensure this investigation is done properly and they find and apprehend whoever is responsible, kate. >> i'm going to see if we can show you -- phil, come here. can you see it right here? way down there is that cement truck device, the explosive containment device we all saw coming in earlier. i think jim sciutto had a

atf, secret service, postal olice, the, capitol p new york city police department, and the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york and the u.s. attorney for the southern district of alabama. officers from across this country responded immediately to the cause and contributed to this effort. we are proud of each one of them. i want to reiterate the defendant in this case is innocent until proven guilty. let this be a lesson to anyone. regardless of their political beliefs, we will bring the full force of law against anyone who attempts to use threats, intimidation, and outright violence. we will find you and will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. director wray, who has done an incredible job leading this effort, will give us details of today's arrest. dir. wray: as the attorney general has confirmed, we have oc inted cesar say connection with this investigation. our investigation is still ongoing. i may not be able to answer questions about his background or his motive. what i can say is this is a nationwide investigation of enormous scope. our investigat

jefferson police and the new york city police department. and the united states attorney and u.s. attorney for the southern district of alabama. federal state and local law enforcement officers from across this country responded immediately to the call and contributed to this effort. we are proud of each one of them. i want to reiterate the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. let this be a lesson to anyone. we will bring the full force of law against anyone who attempts intimidation,, and outright violence. will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. noun director ray, who has done an incredible job -- now director ray, who has done an incredible job leading this the past few days, will give some details. >> as the attorney general has anfirmed, we have arrested man in connection with this investigation. as our investigation is still ongoing, i may not be able to answer questions about his background or his motive. is ai can say is this nationwide investigation of enormous scope. our investigation ranged from new york to delaware, to maryland, to the district of co

in new york it was sent to the home of bill and hillary clinton. the new york police departmenteen called to the home of cnn to investigate a suspicious package there. now it is too soon to say based on our reporters who are working on this story whether this is a real device, whether this is connected to the packages sent to the clinton home last week, but we want to make sure we're staying on top of the story. let me bring in jim kavanaugh. what happens next. where does the investigation go. how did police figure out who is behind this and if there are more packages out there? >> right, well the united states postal inspection service is key in these devices that are sent through the mail. we work closely with them as fbi and atf. they will be trying to decide that. there's the comprehensive investigation into the already recovered devices. the two that the secret service intercepted for the clintons and obamas are intact packages. that's a boon to investigators. it's tiny fragments. when you get a bomb that's not exploded, you can check that. even a fake address. and you get

they have taken the device that they have found here and moved up town where the new york police departmentbe further investigating the device along with other federal authorities. they did find some white substance on the device and as a result, they still have the mail room in this building closed down because they want to see exactly what that powder is. whether or not it is something harmful. people talking about the highly charged political atmosphere in america. the fact that the middle terms are coming up. many of the people who have received the devices are people who have been criticised by donald trump. what are people saying about that? it is difficult to be talking about this situation without referring to the fact that the middle term elections are just two weeks away. if you look at the people targeted, these are top ranking people from the democratic party. so, it is something that was talked about here at the press conference with the mayor and the governor. but it is something that really needs to be investigated and even hillary clinton who was out campaigning and made ref

poppy and i were in touch with the new york police department. they were happening, double checking those facts. and that was a demonstration yesterday of what cnn does and our colleagues at other news organizations did. no, not fake news. we work hard to get it right. that's our job. >> our first job was to get out of this building safely. by the minute we walked out the door, you guys know where that is, david had already confirmed that this was an explosive device that had made it inside the building. then we proceeded to report we were up on the air within five or ten minutes with this

new york. josh, what are you hearing from your sources? >> hi, wolf. we're hearing our cnn colleagues here that officers from the new york city police department are fanning out in multiple locations and attempting to gather evidence, gather surveillance footage, cctv footage. obviously, this is a critical step where law enforcement officers want to meet with businesses, the city officials in order to gather and then capture this surveillance footage, again try to determine if they're working their way back from the scene of a crime to help determine who may have been responsible. now, to take you quickly inside, wolf, inside the command center at the fbi office in manhattan and fbi headquarters, these are operations that work 24/7. they have people there staffed all of the time. but in a major incident like this, they flip a switch and they surge personnel to them. they'll be actually different teams set out in the command center. you'll have a forensics team, you'll have a communications team. there will be a staff getting leads and generating tips from the public. and then there's also a section that will be tasking out new orders to include what we se

the new york police department is taking 3000 police cameras up the street after one exploded. an officer noticed his body camera was smoking. investigators are looking into what caused it to catch fire and whether or not there was a problem with the battery. the model that exploded was used in 16 precincts in the same model used by the oakland police department. it says what happened in new york is causing concern here at home. we are reaching out to the manufacturer to find out what was the cause of the explosion. >> our primary concern is our own officer safety here. if there is equipment that is unsafe we will take very quick action. we are working closely with the representatives from the view as well as reaching out to the you -- the new york police department. >> the opd has several hundred of the cameras and used in several hundred areas. >>> mayor libby schaaf wants and -- an investigation. >> reporter: the question is part of the waiver included in the job applications form for the oakland police department. it asks job applicant to disclose personal information inclu

that as this investigation is open and ongoing but the packages that were sent out the new york police department had a press conference just a few moments ago saying that the packages that were sent today were consistent with the ones that we saw being sent out in previous days that been sent to other high profile democratic political figures around the country so all of these packages are rather small they're about six inches that's fifteen centimeters long and apparently according to the x. rays that the f.b.i. took contain. triggering device powder and broken glass stuffed into p.v.c. pipes these things are so small that while it could kill or injure you if it was right in front of you and it went off they are not large enough to bring down an entire building or block or anything nearly that big that so the f.b.i. said that they are taking this seriously that they are assuming that these are not hoaxes that they are live bombs and that they are still investigating but as we have just seen there has been at least one person one man arrested. can you tell us more about the apparent targets of t

the new york police department tweeted instructions for identifying a package bomb should another be found in the mail we have to treat them as. devices this is a protocol that our bomb squad people use and it keeps everybody safe it's unclear if the pipe bombs were wired to explode some have speculated they were just meant to sow fear among trump's critics ahead of midterm elections in less than two weeks time. several of the intended recipients have said they hoped the sky could shift the tone and politics. my hope. my hope is this reasons. who knows exactly what they were but. they might wake everybody. we have to. we have to the end of this country back together. trumps critics have claimed his divisive rhetoric for inspiring the attack trump has repeatedly called his political opponents evil and often refers to the media as the enemy of the people he recently praised the republican politician for body slamming a journalist. in response to the criticism trump has pointed the finger of blame back at the media the debate likely won't subside before voters go to the polls on novembe

. >> reporter: spoke to the new york governor this morning, to the new york mayor, members of the new york police department, and consistent message from all of them, wolf, that is continuing concern there could be more packages, more targets. >> a lot of concern out there. a nationwide manhunt under way. jim, stand by. wasn't to bri i want to bring in evan perez and shimon prokupecz. you're getting new information from your sources, evan. what are you learning? >> one of first things that the investigators are doing is trying to figure out where these packages went through the mail system, which facilities in the u.s. postal service. one of the things they have been able to isolate is that at least -- several of these packages were handled by a particular facility in florida. this one in opa-locka florida, north of the city of miami. this is one of several mail processing facilities in that area, that handles mail for the miami area, the general south florida region, and so the question is, you know, was the person who did this -- were they in south florida, did they come to south florida to drop these off

continue with some breaking news now new york's police department is investigating a suspicious package in the tri back neighborhood you're looking at footage of law enforcement response in the area he was booked to c.n.n. is reporting that the package is similar to those sends to prominent democrats earlier this week and was reportedly addressed to the actor robert deniro a vocal critic of u.s. president donald trump we'll have more for you on this as we get it. of course that investigation in new york comes after a day of alarming developments in which problem into trouble critics around the united states have been targeted with bombs forces are investigating the apparent terrorist campaign just two weeks ahead of us midterm elections. pipe bombs sent by post the targets prominent critics of u.s. president donald trump. the secret service intercepted one bomb sent to the home of hillary clinton trump's democratic opponent in the two thousand and sixteen election another was addressed to former president barack obama. the third arrived in the mail room of broadcaster c.n.n. addressed t

shown that were delivered to see and the obama's and the clintons and immediately call the new york police department and when that was done of course the authorities were deployed they also sends a containment vehicle to take the package to the bronx where a rule being examined at a facility now this could be potentially a rudimentary but functional pipe bomb just of authorities were expecting yesterday and separate incident all together new castle delaware. mail posting still it. was intercepted that was addressed to for a vice president joe biden so there are multiple packages yesterday and already today phil one might robert deniro been talking to you with. the actor he actually lives in the lower manhattan and as many of our viewers may know he has been a longtime critic of president prior to the twenty sixteen presidential election he took out a full page ad denouncing the then candidate trump and he's also at the twenty awards in june which is a musical award show he criticized the president also called him a national disaster and the weight of these packages have been delivered of the recipie

new york will. be correspondent. abbi what more can you tell us about this developing situation. good morning still there was a call to the new york police department about henri after an employee at this restaurant said that they seem nice packages on yesterday and this was just like that it was the same model as a cloak the same tax the spelling mistakes the same for current address and they hurt their response was quickly deployed to the restaurant they now know as you just mentioned it's called by actor robert deniro and investigators are treating this as part of a wider at that station based on what happened yesterday with multiple devices mailed to c.n.n. and other democratic officials the packages out to get to a site in the bronx will be examined at visual believe could be a functional pipe bomb and once again are treating it just as they treated the packages yesterday and now could be here the similarities between the devices that today de janeiro and what was received by the media organization c.n.n. and the obama to clinton yesterday who have been critical of trump in the past what i'll say about suspects a friday on the day demotivation

secret service new york police department and the misting local law enforcement he's provided valuable assistance truly i can say this is the way lone force and supposed to work this was a massive investigation with so what's a collaborative effort and was well coordinated with each agency bring a special expertise to the table but i would also like to recognize the many postal employees who we think of as many years we appreciate the diligence and awareness and fact it was a postal employee this morning that a loaders to one of these suspicious parcels when the postal inspection service have a great deal of expertise in responding to an investigation suspicious mail post inspectors are trained to wrecked respond investigate dangerous minims in the mail these dangers mela vesa gays and specialists are how the profession and the use of state are equipment. fortunately in this case none of the devices detonated and there was no injuries however postal spreads will remain diligent and monitor postal facilities to determine whether there are additional milnes that have not yet been discove

from the new york police department in the area of tribeca to the south and west of manhattan, above r as well. is a more serious morning for the new york police department. francine: it is. people say we could see more packages. coming up, we will be following this developing story. we will speak to the ubs chief executive. about his talking pivot to wealth management at 7:30 a.m. in new york. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: good morning. we are looking at markets, a bounce up 19 points on s&p futures. continual reports of the new york police department in downtown manhattan and further pipe bomb's discovered as well. byht now, and important book , darkeningramucci the door of 1600 pennsylvania. what is important is the president group up on third base, rounding to home, and scaramucci groep somewhere rocketing out of first base. scaramucci on the blue-collar president. you have to be kidding me? this guy is so far from a blue-collar president. why is he a blue-collar president? >> it is more about the people i grew up with an less about the president of the united states. you are thinking

center in new york was evacuated the fire alarm sounded off and now they are reports offices suspicious package at the time warner building in new york new york police department has according to reports now deployed a bomb squad and other repartee response. test forces to the c.n.n. building so it definitely feels it looks like this is something going on and this is maybe just a beginning all for more. packages or devices being sent to who knows where secret service of course the agency would just have to do all those packages the pictures sent to the white house now to mr soros on monday to the clinton's in in new york on monday oh and today to the obama presidency in washington the white house has let me share this with you to now released a statement and i read this to you the white house calls actions despicable says anyone responsible for picking just will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law that's the statement from the white house really. right now and this is the latest what we have right now so. again fourth package to the white house and c.n.n. center in new york evacuates right stefan simmons thank you very much for keeping up to d

new york city police commissioner, howard schaefer, and josh campbell, and retired atf special agent david chipman. commissioner safer, if i could start with you first. you used to run the police department here, in the city of new york. also in difficult times. when you look at this threat so far, both the bombs we have seen so far, the fact that they were functional explosive devices, the reaction of the new york police department, what do you say to folks who have been saying, oh, this is being made into a bigger deal than it is? doesn't seem like the nypd is treating it that way. >> we are not. and they are not. and they should not. the fact is, live explosive devices, whether or not they were competently made or intentionally made, not to explode doesn't matter. they have all the elements of a bomb. they have power, they have a timer, they have an explosive material. so you have to take this very seriously. this may be the beginning or the prelude to somebody sending really functional bombs or it could be that the individual who put it together is so incompetent that he didn't put it together properly. but the fact is we have to take this very seriously because any one of these devi

enforcement official who they cakes these t very seriously and no police department in the country knows that better than the new york police department. >> and it is not a partisan comment. he is saving the facts. you look at the facts of who, to what entities and what people these explosive devices were sent to in the last 36 hours, and then you look at from the governor to the mayor of new york city to the police commissioner saying this is the world we live in, this is the tone and the tone and the rhetoric cools from the top. >> and jim and poppy, you guys can't go back in, i take it, into the cnn bureau at the time-warner center because of the suspicious powder that was located, they're still dealing with this, is that right? >> that's right, that would be a good assumption. and explosive device is left. we reported that, it was live on the air nearly an hour ago. the white substance, you have to assume, standard procedure would be get the bomb sniffing dogs in there after the explosive devices were removed to make sure there weren't other devices that were similar. the white powder, if that was distributed in

new york city, was hand-delivered and put there in their mailbox. it was discovered by an employee of george soros. and that's the reason -- that's why this morning the new york police department was already going, fanning out in new york city, including to the cnn building, to show people what that package looked like. because they wanted to alert people what these packages might -- that might be arriving, what to look for, jake. they already were suspecting that there would be more of this. so that's the reason why i think investigators think that this could be a big clue, which is the idea that someone somewhere would have hand-delivered this, means perhaps that person was involved in this. >> and how sophisticated were these bombs? were these explosive devices? >> they're not very sophisticated. but even an unsophisticated device can kill people. the problem with this is that, you know, these devices could go off in the mail. and, you know, look, the person who is doing this, the people who are doing this, perhaps, are targeting these officials, these democrats, these critics of the president. but the people who are actually going to be hand-delivering or handling these pa

poppy and i were in touch with the new york police department. others in law enforcement getting the facts out as they were happening, double checking those facts. and that was a demonstration yesterday of what cnn does and our colleagues at other news organizations did. no, not fake news. we work hard to get it right. that's our job. >> our first job was to get out of this building safely. by the minute we walked out the door, you guys know where that is, david had already confirmed that this was an explosive device that had made it inside the building. then we proceeded to report we were up on the air within five or ten minutes with this cell phone signal. of course we thought about our kids as everyone did. everyone that works in this building, everyone was thinking about their loved ones and their kids, and they shouldn't have had to do that, guys, just for doing their job. >> we were hanging on your every word. you were giving us information when we couldn't get back into the building. we were getting all our information from you, as was the
