Im christine romans. It is friday may 8th. We have breaking news from the United Kingdom. Forecast as a close election but returns show solid gains for the conservative party. Prime minister David Cameron will keep his job. This as the Scottish National party makes big gains at the labour party. We have the latest with Erin Mclaughlin. Reporter good morning, christine. Shocking and unprecedented. All words used to describe the election. You know going into this many thought british Prime MinisterDavid Cameron would struggle to hold on to downing street. The map simply did not look like it was in his favor. The polls showing people thought a hung parliament. Those polls seeming to be wrong this morning. His conservative party on track according to some projections to win an outright majority in parliament and if not that then enough seats to at the very least, form a workable government. Prime minister cameron could not be more pleased. Take a listen. Some people say, in fact i often said, there is only one opinion poll that counts. Thats the one on election day. Im not sure thats ever been truer than it has been today and tonight. This is clearly a very strong night for the conservative party. I think we had a positive response to a positive campaign about safeguarding or economy and creating jobs and about a record that government over the last five years. Above all, a plan for the next five years. Reporter meanwhile, here up north, an absolute revolution in scotland. The Scottish National party, the same party that was behind that referendum for independence back in september, they wanted to break up the United Kingdom. That failed. They managed to go from six seats in parliament to a record 56 seats out of a total of 59. People here in scotland wanting to send a very strong message to the westminster establishment that they want change. The question now becomes a conservative government. What concessions are they willing to make to the people here in scotland. Especially when you consider many people here already talking about a second scottish referendum. Perhaps breathing new life in that movement. Thank you for that erin. Three minutes after the hour. Developing overnight, tom brady speaks. The quarterback says he does not have any knowledge or any reaction to the nfl report concluding it is more probable than not that he was aware of footballs being deflated before the afc title game. You can hear the crowd in massachusetts. They cheered as brady took the stage for a prescheduled chat event. He said he had not had time to digest the report. Although it was 30 hours after its release. Took me an hour to read it. National reporter Deborah Feyerick has the latest from boston. Reporter christine, John Tom Brady arrived by helicopter. When he got here to the stadium, he was given a standing ovation. People cheering and chanting his name. The host the moderator and Sportscaster Jim Gray got down to it saying he wanted to tackle the elephant in the room. When he mentioned the report and the investigator ted wells, the crowd booed extremely loudly. What is your reaction tom, to the ted wells report. Who cares i cant usually say those things but i dont have really any reaction. Our owner commented on it yesterday. It has only been 30 hours. I have not had much time to digest it. When i do ill let you know about it. Are you that slow a reader . Well, my athletic career is better than my academic career. When do you plan to address this publicly . Hopefully soon. Hopefully soon. Theres still a process going forthright now. Im involved in that process. Whenever it happens, it happens. Ill want to be comfortable in how i feel about the statements i make. So some slow statements will speak for you and you dont want to get into the details. How are you handling the controversy . Is it bothering you . You know i dealt with a lot of things in the past. I dealt with this three months ago before the super bowl. I dealt with adversity over the course of my career and life and im very fortunate to have so many people that love me and support me. Reporter the crowd supportive before he began speaking and after he was done. Again, very supportive environment. They are here to see a man they adore. Deborah feyerick for us at salem state. Tom brady was passive. His agent not passive. Don yee denies tom brady had any knowledge of the balls deflated. He said he will eventually speak for himself. He will address this but keep in mind anderson he had a rather chaotic press conference right after the afc championship game where he faced all of the media then as well as we spent one entire day in front of four investigative attorneys from mr. Wells law firm. The importance of the statement, he said brady is completely innocent when pressed by anderson. He said yes, in my opinion, he is innocent. Yee also sent a scathing letter to the report attacking the report. Attacking the people who made the report saying it was motivated by money, perhaps. Im surprised tom brady did not have a prepared remark. He knew he would be in front of cameras and a reporter. Im surprised he did not prepared remarks. He just didnt want to talk about it. Seven minutes past the hour. The fbi is holding a Conference Call with local Law Enforcement today. Extremists like Elton Simpson and nadir soofi, both shot by police as they attacked the contest to draw the prophet muhammad.

The fbi apparently had no idea that Elton Simpson had left his home in phoenix, arizona and was driving to dallas in order to launch the attack. It saw simpsons social media post talking about the event. A concern was that he was someone, an extremist that they had their eyes on and they had an investigation on tweeting about this. So they alerted authorities. Apparently the fbi had a list of people of possible extremists who may want to target the event and Elton Simpson was part of the list. Also director comey talked about the hundreds of thousands of people in the u. S. Following isis online. He says it is a big concern. There are hundreds of investigations into possible extremists.

A three judge panel ruled that Program Exceeds what the congress authorized. The judges did not address if it violates the constitution. Lets get more from correspondent michelle kosinski. Reporter john and christine, the federal Appeals Court ruled that the governments collection of the vast stockpiles of the phone data is illegal under the patriot act. The collection exceeds the is scope of the law as intended. The sheer volume of information sought is staggering. The court did not rule it was unconstitutional. They sent it back to the lower court. The section of the patriot act that the government interpreted to collect the data expires next month. It is up for review. The patriot act was established in 2001 after september 11th. President obama allowed this collection to continue but he has since said he agrees it should be reformed. There has been legislation proposed. Ideas have been out there such as this data could be collected, but stored by a third party so the government would not own it and control it. The government would have to ask permission on a casebycase basis when it wanted to access this data. Some in congress especially given the threat of isis say lets look at this and not water down this legislation because it is necessary to national security. John and christies.

Effectively to make them equipped. 400 of them first round of 90. From the start, out numbered by those who train them.
