Oh, gosh. Also new this morning, police say they have arrested a 23yearold man in connection to the attack. As of now they are not identifying that man or the apparent suicide bomber. Were covering all aspects of this breaking story. Lets go straight to manchester. Klarissa, what are you learning. Reporter poppy, john, good morning. We have a lot of developments for you today. We are learning that authorities have conducted two separate raids in and around the city of manchester. There has been a control explosion in at least one of those raids. No word yet as to whether there have been any arrests. But as you mentioned, we do know that a 23yearold has been arrested in southern manchester in conjunction with last nights attacks. You also touched on the fact that isis on their sort of mock news channel is also claiming responsibility for this attack saying that, quote, a soldier of the faith planted explosive devices. Youll notice the plural world is used there, devices. Previously, we have seen isis claim responsibility for attacks that they did not necessarily coordinate. They are opportunistic. At this stage we cannot confirm that isis did, indeed, coordinate this attack or whether it may have simply just been isis inspired. But that is what authorities are working to drill down on right now. They do know, they believe, the identity of the individual, the loan male suicide bomber, who was responsible for the attack at 10 33 p. M. Last night as those people were leaving that concert and for any of our viewers that know this pop star, they know how popular she is with young people and speaking to that, the two casualties we can now confirm, those dead, 8yearold was described by the principal of her school as being a beautiful little girl, loved by everyone for her warmth. Also 18yearold. And we do know from authorities that there are at least 12 children. Thats 16 and under. Who are still injured. This is a devastating attack on a very tight knit community. People in here feeling shock, feeling sadness, feeling outrage and some concern and fears as well as police go about the business of trying to find out who may have facilitated this attack, who may have helped this suicide bomber build his bombs, who may have helped him with his funding and whether isis did indeed coordinate the attack as they are now claiming. All right. In manchester following the developments there. The president of the United States following these developments as well. He is of course on his first overseas trip. That is his helicopter right now. Marine one just arriving at the airport in tel aviv. He is about to leave israel for rome. I think hes arrived at the airport, which is in tel aviv. I think he is on his way to rome very, very shortly where he will be meeting with the pope in vatican city, among other things. The president did comment on the attacks overnight. He condemned the attacks. He mourned the loss of innocent life. He had a conversation with theory sa may. He called the people that perpetrated these attacks losers. Listen. So many young, beautiful, innocent People Living and enjoying their lives, murdered by evil losers in life. We cannot stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people. This wick ed ideology must be obliterated. And i mean completely obliterated. All right. There is the president as we look at these live pictures on marine 1 and take off from telaviv and head to rome. He will go to vatican city and well track all this. Lets get to our channel to talk about what were learning about this terror attack that has transpired. Paul is with us, mike baker is here as well, david ross and paul to you first. Youre so dialed in with all of your sources on this. We know there is the arrest of a 23yearold. We know there is an apparent suicide bomber. Neither of them have been identified. What are you learning . Well, what we do know is that british investigators think they have identified the suicide bomber. Theyre working to confirm that information. But i was going to give them a big step up here in this investigation in terms of trying to figure out if this individual has other coconspirators out there. So if there is a Terror Network behind this atrocity, if there is that, it would be very concerning because other members of that network could move forward. There may be a bomb maker out there. So we have seen a number of terrorist attacks involved in the west since 9 11 where there has only been one individual involved who has made the bombs and then moved forward and carry out an attack. They will be doing a lot of forensics at the scene trying to figure out how sophisticated and power this this attack was. The more sophisticated and powerful, the more likely it is there is some kind of network and the more likely it is there may be some kind of connections. Isis stating that this individual was a soldier as they put it. Just about an hour ago releasing that statement on their official telegram channel. Somewhat unusual move. But theyre putting a lot of Energy Behind circulating these claims in various languages right now. But no evidence whatsoever offered that they were behind this and theyre not identifying the fighting name or anything like that of the perpetrator, so maybe they have seen all these media reports and they are being opportunistic here. They are leaving israel right now to continue his first overseas trip. He is heading to rome very shortly. Mike baker, to you, the fact that there is now a second person under arrest, the suicide bomber died in the attack. Isis claims responsibility. Whether or not there is valid or not, what does that tell you . Well, ive worked with mi5 and mi6 over the years and they have moved remarkably quickly on this one. Eight or nine hours after the attack in talking with contacts that i have over there, they had identified the attacker. They started moving on talking with people who knew him, who were associated with him. They started tagging and identifying and searching locations. So, you know, this i would be extremely surprised if this turned out to be just this individual, just the attacker. Why . There tends to be a process protocol and target assessment in choosing an attack site. I suspect there was support there in terms of surveillance and narrowing down the target. I suspect there was support in development and building of the device. So i think that, you know, the idea this might just be the one person and there is no other individuals involved i think is pretty remote. We also have our jerusalem correspondent as well. How is it being taken, the comments the president chose to make, saying im not going to call this terrorist a monster because that would gran diez him and calling him a loser. What is the reaction there from what the president said . There were comments echoed by the Prime Minister when they spoke together saying we all need to defeat these losers. When trump spoke again, thats when he gave his big speech at the israel museum, he stayed away from that kind of terminology. Instead, he used the more traditional tags. Lets remember, that was the overarching goal of this trip to begin with. It was a trip meant to visit the saudis in read and to combat extremism and terrorism and that was a large part of his speech and the focus of what he said in saudi and then just a couple of days later the first major terror attack under President Trump happening in Manchester England. So this was his first chance to respond to that and he made a statement and thats where he made that comment about that theyre evil losers of life. Again, just a couple of hours later when he gave his major speech he talked about combatting extremism and terrorism wherever it comes from. He says all people of middle east, jews, christians and muslims need to Work Together. Those are comments that were received well here. They need to Work Together to build a foundation of peace for all children. He referenced that a lot, building a foundation of peace for a life without fear for all children here. All right. Standby for us again. Were watching ivanka trump as they get ready to leave. We of course are talking about the terror attack that took place in Manchester England overnight. Your an antiterror expert. Your assessment of the threat level in england. Attacking a concert with kids, the message being sent here . Yeah. The bar barrism of it is extraordinary. This is seen by so many people as being much more callus and more personal than these attacks personally because of who the victims are going to be, given who her fan base is. Its going to be teenage and younger girls. You can see the first two victims are ages 8 and 18. For a suicide bomber it is extraordinarily personal. You have to choose who you are standing beside, often looking your victim in the eye. Different from a bomb put into a trash can, which is personal in its own way, but a bit impersonal in that you dont see the victims. In this case the suicide bomber would have to stand next to them and choose who he wanted to kill. As to the overall threat level, Security Services have disrupted an unprecedented level of isis attacks. If you look at europe overall, we could describe a nightmare scenario for the con innocent. People have worked on this for a while will remember the days when we could count the number of major post 9 11 attacks on their hand and they were known by their dates. You have had an explosion of major events in the continent. Back to you, when you look at the country that was chosen and the city, why manchester . Because if you look at london 200 miles away, that is one of the most heavily surveilled cities in the world. Why manchester . Well, manchester is a major british city, one i think that the three biggest cities in england. So if a terrorist or terrorist group is plotting an attack, it is going to be one of the city locations but is it closely surveilled as london is . Yeah. I mean, the british Security Services are aware that the threat to this country is more than just a capital city threat. They have been aware of that for some time. All the way back in 2009 there was a major alqaeda attack targeting a sphopping center in manchester. Groups like isis and alqaeda realize wherever they attack in the u. K. They will get a lot of media exposure, especially at a high profile concert like this, at a major venue with a very famous american singer there headlining. For them thats the ideal target. And the kind of arguments they are going to make, as horrendous as they are are these air strikes, as they argue, have been killing their people inside the socalled, and this is pure naked revenge from their point of view. Mike, take us inside the investigation now. 12 hours or so after this original attack, what is happening right now . What is important to do in day one . Well, on day one, first of all, you have a lot to place down. Obviously, there is the triage side of things. But you lock it down and start gathering up everything forensically. It is a standard set of protocol. So you go through, gather up all the pieces, parts, fragments of the device and what does that give you . Well, you might pick up serial number for a particular component. Part of that perhaps. If you get lucky, that might take you to a Purchase Point for that particular component. What does that do . That might give you a credit card receipt or a way of purchase or footage from that particular location that gives you another operational lead. You have the dna that also works. Youve got the footage. But the only city in the u. K. That has more coverage than london or than manchester is london. Its basically number two. So you pull all those files out and its confirmed that basically what they get is footage from the attack or arriving at or near the site. What do you do with that . You walk it back, look at previous footage, try and determine if you can find that individual with others doing their preattack surveillance on the site. Then you start gathering the list of associates and doing what they have been doing over the past several hours, which is starting to talk to people who know the individual, whether theyre friends or family or associates, suspects perhaps as the individual arrested. You start identifying and searching addresses known to be associated with the attacker or individuals that know the attacker that may be suspects. So you step through all of this. Again, you know, the domestic security service, metropolitan police unfortunately have a great deal of experience in all of this. Manchester has seen attacks previously. You can go back all the way to 1996. They had a rather horrendous truck bomb. Luckily no fatalities. So they know how to do this. They know what to do. Mike, standby. Paul, thank you so much. We have an eye witness on the phone right now. He was in arena last night during the concert when this happened. Zach, can you hear us . Yeah, i can hear. Thank you for being with us. You were on the upper tier when you heard the explosion. Walk us through what happened next as we look at images of all of this and then what you saw when you went outside. So, yeah, i was on the upper deck like you said. We saw the whole arena. It was literal ly she walked of stage and the lights came up. There was this huge like explosion sound. I honestly thought it sounded like a mike dropping or like a speaker blast. In that moment you dont think of anything like that. You think obviously its something you know, it is not going to be that crazy. It wasnt until a few seconds after that people were screaming and rushing out towards the exit. We had no idea why. People were asking why, whats going on. People rushing toward the exits. When we finally got out of the arena into the lobby, which is where the explosion actually occurred, everyone was trying to get out of these two double doors and people running around screaming, crying. We just had no idea what was happening. And then people are throwing the words around, bomb, grenades, explosion. There was Young Children crying, like shouts for their participaparents on the phones, trying to find each other. It was crazy. Let me ask. Are you and all your friends doing okay today . Yeah. So my best friend, we went and she has to go back to do a dance performance today. But we are absolutely fine. We got home okay. Her seat was like a lot closer to the explosion, but obviously the explosion was in the lobby. It wasnt actually where the audience are. But she was closer to it than we were. She said that she felt the vibrations from the explosion. And as you walked out, you could smell this horrible, distinctive burning smell. It smelt like burnt plastic. It was horrendous. Yeah, but shes okay and all my friends are okay. Zach, i mean, you said that security was really tight at the beginning of the evening, just getting into anywhere around the venue. Is that right . Yeah. So they were like super caution. They were checking peoples bags. They werent patting people down. They were checking peoples bags, but its not a case of getting into the arena. It is getting out. So obviously when this concert nearly is finishing, there is thousands of kids that want to meet their parents. The parents are going to come into the arena to meet them. So the doors are just left open freely. Probably within the last half hour up to the end of the concert so people can go in and meet their relatives. It would have been then that the terrorist walked in. I dont think a terrorist would have been in from the start because bags were being checked. There was a lot of confusion with that. It would have been at the end when the doors are freely opened for people to get their kids. Zach, we are glad you are okay. What a horrible, horrible event that you were you had the misfortune of being apart of. But thank you. Were glad youre okay. Still to come for us, a new bombshell report. The president asked two of the nations top intelligence chiefs to deny the existence of any collusion with russia during the campaign. And moments away, one of those intelligence chiefs will testify on capitol hill. You can bet he will be asked all about that reported request from the president. More on that.

Cnn has confirmed President Trump asked director cloths as well as the director of the nsa to deny any evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russian government on the 2016 election. As we get ready for him to testify in front of this services committee, it is preplanned. You can bet he will likely be asked about this very odd, odd and troubling request apparently from the president. For more, we are joined by our justice supporter in washington. What more do we know about this . The president fiercely denies any coordination between his campaign and russian meddling in the president ial election. But we have now learned from sources that back in march, after then fbi director james comey publically revealed for the first time that the fbi was investigating possible ties between the Trump Campaign associates and the russians, trump then privately made a plea for help to dan coats, as well as to the head of the National Security agency in the hopes that they would essentially prejudge the fbis investigation into russia while it is ongoing and publically push back against any allegations of possible collusion in the same vain as trump has been doing. Now were told both coats and rogers were uncomfortable with the president s request and refused to comply essentially. And the white house i
