Reporter shortly after being and prehelped, he was interviewed and he said that this was a planned attack. He sold several of his personal belongings before booking a flight from anchorage, alaska to ft. Lauderdale. We asked a source here at the ft. Lauderdale airport about the leak of that video. They told us they would not comment except to say that its being investigated now and the fbi is involved. It corroborates a lot of what we heard from investigators. He apparently arrived here in ft. Lauderdale, retrieved from one of his bags from baggage claim, went to a restroom, set the gun in his waistband, then hes expressionless, reaches into his waistband and pulls that 9 millimeter weapon. He wasnt specifically targeting anyone, it was just the people that were nearby. After he starts running away, you see everyone around him respond, realizing the horror theyre witnessing, one woman goes behind a cart, doing anything she can to get away from him. Esteban santiago is going to be arraigned tomorrow. Of us could be there waiting for our bags and this unfolds. Meantime, we are learning new details about the victims in fridays horrific attack at ft. Lauderdale airport. Michael oehme was killed. Olga woltering terry andres was on vacation with his wifes ann. He and his wife were married for 40 years. And nowlet get the latest on those still hospitalized. Outside of the Medical Center where victims are still being treated. What do we know about their conditions . Reporter were still trying to learn all we can about it. You think about those names you just read and the greaters impact, 15 people were brought this to hospital. Three now remain in critical condition. We know there are people inside who are still fighting for their lives. And if you think about this, they were people who were working very hard to try to save them, the doctors and nurses here at this hospital, a level 1 Trauma Center went into action to try to help them. This afternoon we had the opportunity to go inside and talk to the people who were helping save those people that were in that airport. When youre here for a period of time, you get all sorts of things, but when you get a thank you, you know that its usually special. I have had some survivors and had family members hug me and that was special. Its emotional. Yet rewarding, knowing that you immediate a difference. Careful as they talking to us, y because obviously with hippa with the laws that are in place, they cant talk about specific patients. But they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support they received after this. Some of the people here face a long battle. Be one person walking out of this hospital after being shot. One man was shot three times, but he told the governor he felt like he could keep running to get away from the shooter. But there are people who put their passion, their life and their health care to save these people in their time of need. And these doctors have to be ready for the worst, and clearly they were ready for this. Is there any plan in place . Does the hospital have a plan to help everybody deal with what they just went through . Reporter those doctors said every one of the team have someone to talk to. But they felt like the team is stronger now because they were prepared for this. Anything happens in this general area, its a very busy area. A level 1 Trauma Centers sees incidents like this, but maybe not the magnitude we saw it on friday. We wish those victims a speedy recovery. And youre about to see some more graphic and alarming video. It shows a brazen attack on Israeli Soldiers that happened today and some of those soldiers died. As you can see, a large truck steered directly into a gathering of soldiers right near jerusalem. Four were killed and 11 others injured. Well go straight to jerusalem where we find oren liebermann. Reporter police say the attacker is from east jerusalem, in fact a neighborhood thats not far from where this attack took place. Let me walk you through this, its 1 00 p. M. In jerusalem. A walkway that overlooks the old city of jerusalem, that would have been at that time on this day crowded with tourists, pedestrians, soldiers and security forces. Thats when police say the truck driver drove his truck directly into that group of soldiers, four soldiers died, in their 20s, three women, one man and a dozen more were injured. The driver in this case was shot and killed on the scene. We learned that from the police. Nine suspects, five of whom are family members of the attacker. Police are now trying to figure out was this one driver acting on his own or was this part of a larger web . Where did the truck come from . And how far in advance had this been planned. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene a few hours after the attack and he said there are indications that the attacker was a follower of ice isis. This attacker may have been inspired by social media or by isis online. That will be the focus of the really government moving forward, as police investigate, trying to figure out where this attack came from and how long it was planned. It seems like it was one of those lone wolf attacks that are difficult to predict and more difficult to stop. Well know more tomorrow when those four soldiers are laid to rest.

I dont want any of your viewers to be misled into thinking that somehow the kremlin or the republican party, that they that the kremlin was dealing with any of the hackers in bringing that information back to moscow and that somehow anybody who attempted to interfere with the elections actually did. The intel report did make it clear that was the intention on the part of russia. Joining me now, the former u. S. Ambassador to nato and former undersecretary of state and ambassador. Thank you for coming on. What do you make of the reaction of this alert. Its an extraordinary report. When you have the fbi and all the major intelligence agencies of the United States government agreeing that russia did interfere with the election, i think the far smarter course for the Trump Administration is to accept it and there has to be some kind of response by the United States. Approximate president obama has expelled russian intelligence operatives out of the country. What do you say to this argument though from some in your world who say, maybe donald trump, maybe theres a strategy, hes helping Vladimir Putin save face so that perhaps the two countries will Work Together and he will not continue the same kind of behavior moving forward when trump is in the white house. The first thing you have to understand about Vladimir Putin. Hes not just and certainly you cant expect honesty from Vladimir Putin about his open interference in your election. So i think the strategy is to do what republican president s did, thats strengthen nato in europe, make sure that the United States is superior politically, militarily and deal with russia from a point of strength. And i think that Vladimir Putin thinks of trump has rather weak right now. In your view, Vladimir Putin had a grudge against clinton for years, why do you think that russia would want donald trump in the white house beyond is claim that youre making that you believe they view him as weak . Secretary clinton had been very tough minded with president putin over the issue, certainly of ukraine, she spoke out against the invasion of ukraine and the occupation and annexation of crimea in 2014, when she was in office prior to that, she dealt with the russians in a very tough way. And donald trump refuses to criticize russia under any circumstances, not even for their barbaric bombing. So i think the russians looked at these two candidates and saw a completely different set of situations with donald trump than with Hillary Clinton and that appears to be part of the motivation that the russian government did when they interfered in our election last autumn. Heres what president obama said this week. I dont think iunder estimated him, but i underestimated the degree to which in this new Information Age it is possible for misinformation, for cyber hacking and so forth to have a impact on our open societies, our open systems to insinuate themselves into our democratic practices in ways that i think are ingaccelerating. Ambassador, do you think that the president under estimated putin or do you think he should have waited until after the election months after he knew russia was behind it. President obama made an interesting point in the clip you showed, a very interesting part of the fbi report was this wasnt just russia hacking the Democratic National committees email server. It was also a very sophisticated planning of fake stories and news reports, in russia television, which is shown in the United States on cable, spreading absolute bald faced lies about the United States, it was a very sophisticated and comprehensive operate. President obama said that he didnt want to interfere in our election by making statements during the election, now hes taking action. If you think about it, the most important responsibility of our president is to defend the United States. We have been attacked in cyber war by the russians and therefore we have to respond to make sure that it doesnt happen again. You make the point and president obama said he didnt want to interfere in the election, but if the russians have this massive operation to push out fake news to sway the outcome, why wouldnt T Administration come out more strongly sooner to alert the American Public about this and point the finger at russia, we know there was a statement made october 7, but shouldnt this information have come out sooner . The most Senior Intelligence official in the government made a statement on october 7 to warn the American People that the russian government was trying to interfere. I think that was probably the right call. Were the president to come out, it would look as if he was favoring Hillary Clinton, which of course he was, but to tip the balance in the oval office and i think he made the right call. I think to think about january 20 and donald trump taking the oath of office, he needs to defend us, he needs to speak up for nato. He needs to criticize the russian government for what it did. He won the election fair and square, hes going to be our president , but he now needs to act president ial and he needs to rally the west, because the russians are going to try to interfere in the french elections in april, and the german elections in september. We need to defend our allies from an antidemocratic country of Vladimir Putin. Thank you very much. Coming up, spotlight time for several of the president elects top cabinet picks.

Senate committees are getting ready to hold hearings for Jeff Sessions. Not only did he serve on the Senate Judiciary committee for years, he appeared before it in 1976 hoping to get confirmed for a federal judgeship. The hearing did not go well amid allegations of racism. Hes outdated. Hes a throw back. He does not believe in criminal justice reform. Hes antigay. Hes opposed to voting rights. His history is long again, its not only about racism, its about criminal justice and how is it going to be meeted out . And to be clear, Jeff Sessions as always denied any allegations of racism. But how will it turn out for session this is time around . Cnn commentator Alice Stewart is back and the creative director. You say in regards to these confirmation hearings, democrats are already suffering from a selfinflicted wound . By what they did eight years ago, they reduced the threshold to 51 that makes it even easier for the republicans to get their candidate confirmed. Jeff session has a long history in adherence to the rule of law. In terms of civil rights, he filed many desegregation lawsuits to protect the rights of africanamericans as well as favoring the extension of the Civil Rights Act for another 30 years. So i would earn courage her and others who want to stand up end fight his confirmation to take a good look at his record and what hes done to protect africanamericans. You have particular concerns about what sessions as attorney general would mean for muslims . That seems like a good episode of black mirror or twilight zone, but he has a rich history of voting against the rites of some of the most marginalalized americans, lgbt, muslim, and 50 of the population, women. Theres a reason why, about 30 years ago the republicanled Judiciary Committee voted against him being a federal judge. That was a Bipartisan Committee that reviewed his history, he has a rich history of going against africanamericans, specifically saying the votes rights act is an unneeded piece of legislation. He says the naacp is undemocratic, and he also says theyre communist, and they want to shove Civil Liberties down or throats, i love Civil Liberties, he was against the 2013 violence against women act. Why would he be against that . And also he is against repeatedly legislation that protects equal pay for women. You want to talk about lgbt communities, he was against the equal rights act that would protect lgbt communities. He has also attended meetings of fair, the federation of American Immigration reform which the Southern Policy Law Center says is a hate group and whose leader is a white nationalist. And also in 2013, he received keeper of the flame award. Thats why im concerned. All of what you said, i believe is accurate, i havent been able to go through as youre mentioning them. Go and fact check that. But most of what he said, alice, seems to be true, whats your reaction to this. Lets start with the easiest one. I used to work with womens concern for america, they actually opposed the equal rights act. They used federal dollars that could have easily and more helpfully been used for women at the local level and theres a lot of level that have opposed the balance against women act because it didnt put the money or the resources it needs to be. It is true that he did not want t
