pierre: this is a very serious topic.rst say that we have a banking union which was difficult to achieve. many commentators thought we would never achieve that in europe and we have become an umbrella to protect all european banks. we are in the initial phase oute the banking is playing and we are meeting the first practical obstacle. we need to go through these and treaties, rules, and we have to be pragmatic with the nonperforming loans in a country like italy. i think mario draghi has said so rightly last week by saying we have to be pragmatic with how to deal with that. we have rules and we will get through them. ?rancine: what does that mean if you have a bail in and realize so much of the subordinated bonds of italian banks are held by households, is this something that could be systemic and should we abandon this? pierre: i think you are going to fast to abandon burden sharing. there are roles, they need to be rules,ed -- roles -- they need to be respected. one has to be pragmatic and face that the public would be

>> pierre thomas with us again tonight. pierre, thank you. >>> meantime, donald trump tonight waving as he left meetings on capitol hill himself with members of his own party, saying that are by great meetings, and in his words, quote, very productive. but this evening, we're learning of reports of tension inside those meetings, and here's abc's david wright. >> reporter: today, at the washington capital club, the dealmaker tried to win over the doubters. donald trump, seeking to reassure republicans. >> i think we had a great meeting with our presumptive nominee. >> reporter: but the atmosphere in some of those meetings, tense. senator jeff flake of arizona confronted trump about this snipe at john mccain. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, okay? i hate to tell you. >> reporter: flake introduced himself to trump as the other senator from arizona, the one who didn't get captured, saying, "i want to talk to you about statements like that. kws. >> i want to is support our nominee.

joining us is our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas, pierre, thank you.e all see pieces of the puzzle but you've been connecting the dots. >> what struck me was the chronic, sustained nature of this violence. you can book it that tonight on a hot summer night in july, someone somewhere in this country will be shot, someone will be wounded, and lives will be forever changed. >> mass shootings tend to grab national headlines. you looked at individual shootings. >> not just shootings in places like chicago. across this country, over and over, much of it domestic violence, it's shocking. >> pierre thomas, thanks to you and your team for that report. thanks so much. >> pleasure. >> we'll be back. >> this special edition of "nightline" is brought to you by geico. let's feed him to the sharks! squuuuack, let's feed him to the sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a pa

>> all right, pierre thomas live with us tonight, as well. pierre, thank you. >>> the other developing story as we come on the air tonight involves the race for president. abc news has learned that donald trump will choose indiana governor mike pence to be his running mate. the decision comes after the two met several times this week, trump even flying his children out to indiana. a family affair. a new national poll tonight showing trump in a dead heat now with hillary clinton. the official announcement of the vice presidential pick comes tomorrow morning, but abc's tom llamas has the new reporting right here tonight. >> reporter: you're hired! tonight, donald trump teaming up with indiana governor mike pence as his running mate. >> you have to make a pick, and eventually you just sort of, okay, let's go this route. >> reporter: tonight, pence landing in new jersey, jumping into a motorcade. this moment coming after pence pulled off two big victories. first, nailing his public audition with trump. >> you know, donald trump understands the fr

>> all right, pierre thomas leading us off tonight. the legal part of this might be over, but the political fallout was immediate and continues at this hour. donald trump calling this rigged, as i mentioned, and just before we came on tonight, calling it a, quote, miscarriage of justice. but there was the president late today, standing behind hillary clinton, about to take to the podium, his first appearance with her on the trail. and the timing of this was not lost on anyone. abc'sec charlotte. >> reporter: it wasn't shaping up to be the kind of day where hillary clinton would smile much, but there she was. her most powerful political ally not just in her corner, but right there on her stage. >> fired up! >> ready to go! >> i am. i'm fired up. hillary got me fired up. >> reporter: president obama joining clinton on the campaign trail just hours after the fbi blasted her for that e-mail use. but from the president, nothing less than a ringing endorsement. >> and there has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office than

>> pierre thomas with us in washington. pierre, thank you. >>> meantime, hillary clinton traveling to atlantic city today to stand in front of one of donald trump's shuttered casinos. abc's cecilia vega on the campaign tonight. >> reporter: hillary clinton today, taunting donald trump on his own turf. >> what he did for his businesses and his workers is nothing to brag about. in fact, it's shameful. >> reporter: right here in atlantic city, outside his shuttered trump plaza casino. trump's casinos once fixtures in this city. >> it's some crowd. good luck, everybody. do well. use it in good health. >> reporter: but again and again, trump filed for bankruptcy on his properties. clinton now accusing trump of abandoning the famous boardwalk and its workers. >> and i have a plan to make sure big businesses can't stiff suppliers and contractors, like donald's been doing for years. >> reporter: hundreds of plumbers, painters, waiters and others accuse trump of not paying them for their work, according to a "usa today" investigatio

let's get right to abc senior justice correspondent pierre thomas, as these pictures come in, and pierre, france has been on high alert since the attacks last year that killed 130 people. what are you hearing from your sources tonight? >> reporter: david, i just spoke with a senior intelligence official. he said the u.s. government is aware of this event and trying to get more details. obviously, there is concern that this could be terrorism, but there's a lot they just don't know yet. as you know, david, france has been in a state of emergency since the paris attacks last fall, and they were starting to feel more comfortable. just today, the french president said that france's state of emergency would be lifted later this month for the first time since those attacks. but if this turns out to be terror, they will have to stay on alert and prepare for the chance that more could be coming. i can tell you, david, this happening just days before the political conventions will have everyone's attention here at home. they're going to want to know every detail about what this turns out to be. d

pierre thomas, on what's being done with just hours to go until the republican convention. backdrop of today's horror in baton rouge, cleveland is deploying an army and building a fortress to protect the republican convention. just ten days ago, the ambush in dallas. >> police officers that did not return home from work. >> reporter: it was just three days ago that president obama sat down for a national town hall meeting on policing and race. >> we have to have police that are respected, and we have to recognize the fear their families go through every time they walk out that door. >> reporter: tonight, law enforcement sources tell abc news they're facing perhaps the most volatile and complicated security picture in recent memory. >> reporter: those dump trucks are there to stop cars, trucks, or anything else from getting access to crowds. there are thousands of police officers in this city, including many on bikes, to give them the flexibility they need to get anywhere quickly. and there are camera situational awareness. all of this taking place in ohio, an open carry sta

and pierre thomas is on the phone.police have been on guard since the shooting of alton sterling and also the shootings in minneapolis. >> reporter: yes, officer shooting deaths are up 44%. and they'll have to look at, were the officers targeted specifically? it's clear the suspect started shooting at them, and it's a very dangerous situation, we're trying to gather more information. but right now, it's a dangerous time for law enforcement. >> and john kohn, with us as well. we know this comes at a time when some militant groups are calling for rages. >> yes, warning law enforcement across the country about posts on social media for purges against police. baton rouge police uncovered a plot just last week. it's a dangerous time for police. in part because there's a growing false narrative around the country that is being glomed on to people that all police are racists, abuse people of color, and that's simply not true. >> thank you. and police prepared in cleveland for possible violence as well. and at least two police

>> pierre, thanks. >>> and as you heard, s.w.a.t. teams used a bomb carrying robot to kill the suspect and end the assault, and it had us wondering, was this the first time? we want to bring in martha raddatz. what have you learned was behind the decision to use the robot? >> they felt there was no other way to handle it. no other option. these robots can go in with remotely controlled cameras, with explosives on the robot's arms, drop it, and the robot can turn around and come back and detonate it when they feel the threat is greatest. i've seen the robots in iraq, they're usually bomb disposal robots. but this is taking it to a new level. and they've saved a lot of lives over the years. >> martha, thank you. >>> we move on, and we're learning the names of the police officers that died in the attack. for the first time, we're seeing their faces tonight. learning about the families they left behind. one of them, a young father that survived three tours in iraq. so many lives cut short. as the other officers raced in to help others. b

pierre, thank you. dan. >> complicating and combustible mix. pierre thomas, thank you. >>> there is a real debate this morning about the apparently unprecedented decision by police in dallas to take the shooter out using a robot. so let's bring in abc's crime and terror analyst brad garrett. brad is also a former fbi agent. brad, good morning. police in dallas said they made this decision because, quote, other options would have exposed our officers to great danger. so do you support the use of a robot in this case? >> yes, and the reason why, dan, is that i don't think they could eliminate that he had explosives. obviously he was lethal. he had already killed a number of officers, so what are your options? send a s.w.a.t. team in, maybe get one of them hurt or send a robot in knowing you're going to have to ultimately kill him anyway. >> but why not simply wait him out? at some point he's going to need to sleep or eat or something like that. why not wait him out for a couple more hours? this is the argument that some are advancing this morning

the governor says he can't suspend the constitution on short notice. >> pierre, thank you. >>> and we should note, for the 17th time in office, president obama addressing a domestic mass shooting, calling anyone that targets law enforcement a coward. >> we need to be loud and clear, nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. >> i want to bring in jonathan karl, who is here in the convention hall. hard to believe, we were just with the president in the national town hall, and tonight, he's just addressed the nation yet again. >> reporter: over and over, he's had to address the nation. following mass shootings. but there's something different. both in terms of what is happening, and in the president's words. the fear is we're looking at potentially a new trend. the intentional targeting and hunting of police officers. that's why you heard real anger from the president. talking about cowards who speak for no one. >> and my next question, a lot of eyes on donald trump and the tone tomorrow night, really on both presidential candidates, listening to their every word with the natio

here's abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas now. >> reporter: tonight, kansas city police trying to reassure calculated attack on police. captain robert melton was gunned down after responding to drive by shooting this week. as many as 20 shots fired. police now say it wasn't an ambush, but a tragic death in the line of duty. >> we believe this case is another example of a known criminal trying to escape arrest. >> reporter: police around the country on edge, now facing greater threats. >> this devastating loss is yet another reminder that our courageous officers put their lives on the line every day in order to serve the public. >> reporter: so far this year, 32 officers have died in firearms-related incidents, a 78% spike compared to last year. eight officers killed in the last two weeks alone in cold-blooded assassinations. in dallas and then just this past weekend, the apparent targeted assassination of officers in baton rouge. >> we are up against a force that is not playing by the rules. they haven't played by the rules. didn't play by the rules in dallas and didn't

pierre, what are you learning? >> reporter: the nypd is stepping up security in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. like here in times square. they say when they have large celebrations like independence day and new year's eve, they put up all sorts of barriers barriers to protect the crowd from vehicles. but the fact remains, there's only so much you can do, and there is risk with thousands of people walking up and down the streets, like they are now, all around me. >> that is the true concern. pierre, thank you. >>> and all of this playing out today amid the race for president. donald trump and hillary clinton responding to the terror. but we also learned today who donald trump has chosen as his running mate. but did trump have second thoughts at the last minute? here's tom llamas. on the campaign trail tonight. >> reporter: indiana governor mike pence taking his first steps into donald trump's world. what have the last 24 hours been like? >> very exciting. >> reporter: but did trump have second thoughts? yester

they didn't play by the rules in dallas, and they didn't play by the rules here. >> and pierre thomas is with us tonight. yet another loss for police here in america. but they were very quick today to point out to this nation on edge already that this was not a police ambush. >> reporter: they wanted to make clear that this was not a police assassination, but david, make no mistake, this is an especially dangerous moment for law enforcement, so many being gunned down this year. >> and a loss is a loss indeed. all right, pierre, thank you. >>> next tonight, to another warning, the "pokemon go" craze, that virtual scavenger hunt, as authorities across the country continue to caution against distractions. one player caught on camera, crashing into a police car right here in baltimore there. a close call for those officers standing on the sidewalk when a driver slammed into their cruiser. no one was hurt. the young driver admitting to police right afterward when he got out of the car that he was focused on his phone on "pokemon go" instead of the road. a warning for everyone tonight. >>>

good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, paula. the suspect's motive disturbing. racial hatred and simmering bitterness for police. authorities say this is the deadly sniper, micah xavier johnson, a former military man who went hunting for police specifically white officers. >> one officer is down. >> there appears to have been one gunman with no known to or inspiration from any international terrorist organization. >> reporter: law enforcement sources tell abc news johnson was armed for a shooting spree with an assault rifle and two handguns. >> it's been a tale of cowardice by an assassin. >> reporter: johnson served in the army reserve from 2009 to 2015 doing a tour in afghanistan. according to police, his facebook page reveals some of that rage against police. he liked the page which said, "kill everything blue that moves." overnight police searched johnson's home in me quite, texas and found bombmaking material, ballistic vest, rifle and a personal journal on combat tactics. >> this was a well-planned, well thought out, evil tragedy. >> reporter: neighbors in

pierre thomas is here with more. pierre, there are always security issues around a convenon.>> reporter: that's right, george. one day from the start of the gop convention and law enforcement is facing perhaps the most volatile and complicated security picture in recent memory. and what happened in nice is only intensified those concerns. the carnage in nice happening less than a week after the dallas massacre and the police killings of black men in baton rouge and minnesota. all this a little more than a month after the massacre in orlando. this is the threat picture as the republican convention is set to begin. here in cleveland, the service and police officials are preparing for every possible contingency ji from unruly protesters to lone wolf mass shooters to terrorists. >> we have to be prepared for everything. it's a different world today. >> reporter: while there's no specific credible threat to the convention -- >> oh. >> reporter: there are concerns that volatile political organizations from each end of the spectrum will show up and fuel chaos. >> i think we have to

that has to be factored in, george. >> pierre thomas, brad garrett, thanks very much. robin? >>> joining us now is reverend jeff hood. he is one of the people who planned the protest in dallas last night. reverend, thank you so much for joining us this morning and our thoughts are with you and everyone there in your city. you were one of the organizers for the protest. tell us the reason for it and what was the atmosphere like before the shootings. >> certainly here in dallas and just like in many other parts of the country, people were upset about what happened in baton rouge. they were upset about what happened in st. paul, and we wanted people to have a healthy place to engage their anger, to grieve, to comfort each other, to network. this protest started out as a really beautiful thing, and we certainly accomplished those spaces of anger, those spaces of grief and those spaces of networking. as we marched through the streets of dallas, there was a real solidarity, a real peace. the police remarked that this was an incredibly nonviolent protest, considering the amount of p

what more can you add, pierre?orcement offs are trying to get as much information as they can about the suspects. three in custody. one believed to be dead at the scene. law enforcement officials say they need to know as much as they can as soon as possible to make sure that nothing else is coming forward here in the next few hours. you heard the mayor tell george stephanopoulos a little while ago that they are being tight-lipped. the people who are in custody are not giving them much. that's what my sources are saying, as well. again, key to find out more about these people. they have some basic information. they're running down information about their backgrounds trying to get a since of what the motive may be. >> because there is no clear motive right now. there's just a lot of speculation but nothing substantial. >> that's right. the press conference coming up so important hoping to get information. right to jon karl white house correspondent and, of course, president obama called to respond to this, the second

abc's pierre thomas explains wh good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, amy.r prosecutors at the justice department must also weigh in. but the fbi in these circumstances is usually the most aggressive of the parties involved and we expect the prosecutors will agree with comey the charges are not warranted and attorney general lynch has said she will abide by what comey and the career prosecutors will say to do. it is likely the case is over but now the political fight is a different matter. it is just beginning, amy. >> it certainly is, pierre, thanks so much. >>> donald trump saying the fbi investigation is proof that the system is rigged. he is accusing hillary clinton of bribing loretta lynch. >>> protests growing louder in baton rouge after police killed a man when he was selling cds. two officers struggled with 37-year-old alton sterling. the camera then turns away. but you c a witness says sterling had a gun but did not reach for it. >>> olympian oscar pistorius is going back to prison sentenced this morning to six years in prison for manslaughter in th

good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george.n one of the most dramatic moments of 20 years of covering the fbi, the fbi director took center stage, no one knowing what he decided with the power to affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. the decision about the clinton e-mail investigation so sensitive and critical to the presidential race, fbi director james comey kept the white house and his boss, the attorney general in the dark. >> they do not know what i'm about to say. >> reporter: in a dramatic hastily arranged press conference he announced the results of thousands of hours of fbi investigation. >> our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> reporter: but despite that recommendation the fbi director gave a blistering assessment of clinton's decision to use private e-mail to conduct government business. >> there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information. >> reporter: former secretary clinton has maintained that s

pierre thomas on the chilling motive. >> reporter: micah xavier johnson, a former military man who was apparently harboring deep racial hatred, especially against white police officers. johnson's facebook page content reveals some of that rage. he "liked" a page which said, "kill everything blue that moves." police say johnson embraced a radical form of afrocentrism. johnson served in the army from 2009 until 2015, and did a tour in afghanistan. today, when police searched johnson's home in meui texas, they found bomb making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, and a personal journal of combat tactics. >> this guy lived around the corner from me and was willing to take people's lives he didn't even know. you know, it's scary. >> reporter: johnson's sister took to facebook today, writing, "the news will say what they think, but those who knew him know this wasn't like him." police initially thought there were two gunmen. but tonight, law enforcement sources tell abc news they believe johnson was the lone gunman. >> and pierre joins us. what are your sources telling us they're looking at?

pierre, you've covered law enforcement for decades, and in the last year or so, there has been a real escalation, a surge in homicides, shootings. you were recently in chicago. what did you see, and how can you relate that to what's going on here? >> martha, this is a defining moment. these tensions come at a time when police around the country are seeing lots of violence, especially in major cities. much of it with guns, and we know in many of those cities a lot of the victims and the suspects in the shootings are african-americans. sadly blacks are overrepresented in urban violence but we should be clear that the violence is not just contained to cities and it crosses racial lines. more than half the people murdered in 2014 were white and roughly half of the murder suspects were white. to further intensify the situation currently, the number of officers killed by gunfire is up 44% compared to last year sh, but regardless of the pressure, the citizens of this country of all races deserve the best in policing. what we're seeing now is that when police make mistakes, they're much more

pierre thomas, our seen your justice correspondent. though statements from the shooter who has now been killed, upset about black lives matter, wants to kill white people, especially white officers, that immediately turns this into a federal civil rights investigation, no? >> yes. that will be looked at. we're expecting we may hear from the attorney general later today. one thing that struck me about this situation. you have someone saying he wants to kill white officers, white people, reacting to what we've seen take place in minnesota and perhaps baton rouge. but these situations are very fluid. they have these three suspects. they want to know more about them. sometimes people that you think are suspects, they wash out. but clearly they suspect there was another shooter. they need to resolve that. but this is a major piece of the case here in which they have a person that they know did this or part of it, and he's given them a motive. the key now is did he have a support. that is what law enforcement is all over right now. my source
