Killed in terrorist attacks in france, in paris and nice, multiple attacks in paris. as you pointed out with congressman king, if they knew about this guy. he was trying to buy weapons from jihadi, thats got to be helpful from marie le pen who is running both as an outsider and taking a tough line on jihadism. at the same time, trump has did not embrace le pen so much, because -- they say that trump is in collusion with russia. we know that is not the case. in fact, hes taking a tough line with ...

One who was gunned down himself by police officers here not far from where were standing right now. what we know about the attack is it is pretty typical of the profiles of the previous sort of terrorist attacks in the past. the perpetrators criminal background. it was, he was convicted and jailed for trying to kill police officers long before isis was a terrorist group in 2001. you mentioned at isis they took responsibility. thats a bit of a head scratcher because they mentioned a name in their...

Voters minds changed about polling in the wake of our election. i wouldnt be surprised that theres real skepticism in france as well. if you would, set the scene as you head into this weekends election. obviously coping with yet another terrorist attack, what is the mood like there where you are? >> well, you know, the french are maybe more resilient than we would have given them credit for at some point. i think -- i was talking to somebody, one of the leading counter terror experts in france t...

That? >> reporter: the attack didnt have a very high death toll, one police officer, as far as terrorist attacks go is quite a small terrorist attack. what was significant is the location and even more importantly, the timing, on sunday, the french people go to the polls for the first round of the french elections. there are 11 difference candidates and the top two candidates will go on to another round of elections, a run off, held two weeks later. and there is speculation here, that this attac...

So, i think some of what he said doesnt really bear scrutiny with the facts. the other thing that struck me, kate, is a very good question you asked him about whether there should be some kind of pause on visas from folks coming from europe out of concerns for terrorism, because as you rightly pointed out, weve now seen a number of attacks. tragically, this most recent one in paris. and the countries that are actually the subject of the visa pause or visa ban, whatever you want to call it, have ...

Until about 20 minutes ago, it was just that. there are hundreds of cars on it at any point in the day or night and hundreds of people walking up and down. ill show you once again how empty it is. the police have really come in and gotten everyone off this street within a matter of minutes. perhaps you can see the pavements themselves are completely empty apart from the heavy armed riot police and on the avenue itself, which is entirely blocked off, all you have are those dozen or so police truc...

Were certainly not 100% equipped. were doing all we can and what secretary kelly mentioned about the internet, thats damaging in so many ways. one, can it be used to recruit and used to work with people who are members of isis but also inspires people. those who may be mentally ill and on the borderline they get inspired by this and go out and carry out these crimes and terrorist acts and there is almost no way to detect them. they dont belong to any organization. havent been in contact with any...

>> so people understand what were talking about, this is 16 years ago, the authorization to use military force, which was passed about a week after 9/11, on september 18, 2001, and it says the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the attacks that occurred on 2001 or harbored such organizations or persons in ord to to prevent any future acts. and, of course, congre...

Personally or his aides just this month with china, russia, and egypt. three autocrats. in previous administration there would have been a lot of talk about human rights, a lot of dancing around that issue. trump didnt talk about that at all. he doesnt care about human rights or democracy or the internal affairs of these countries. he cares about frankly the deal making and the interests of the two sides. so far what i see is a true realist and that meaning hell intervene here or there but a rea...
