[blast] sean joining us now on the ground, daily mail reporter jake simon is with us. Can you tell us the latest . The latest on the ground, 19 people have been confirmed dead. 50 have been confirmed injured. This is a very high death toll indeed. We havent seen an attack this bad in the United Kingdom since 2005. 12 years ago. 152 people were killed in a coordinated series of suicide bombings in london. Things are calm here. Theres a sense that things are more under control, its almost an eerie feeling in the air. You know how much suffering is going on behind closed doors here. The royal infirmary, just a mile away from the scene here also in various hotels, sean may i interrupt you . The press conference starting. Lets go to that. In the center, this was at the conclusion of the Ariana Grande concert. Currently, we have 19 people confirmed to have lost their lives in the explosion. Around 50 casualties that are being treated at six hospitals across Greater Manchester. My thoughts are with the injured and those who lost their lives and the loved ones during this terrible time. We are doing all that we can to support them. Officers from Greater Manchester police and Emergency Services are working at the scene and supporting those affected. We are coordinating operations at the headquarters. An emergency number is available for all those concerned about their loved ones, anyone who may have been in the area. The number is. Your currently treating this as a terrorist incident until we have further information. We are working closely with u. K. Intelligence partners. This is clearly a very concerning time for everyone. Were doing all that we can with local and National Agencies to support those affected. As we gather information about what has happened last night. As youll understand, we are still receiving information and updates to provide further detail when you a clearer picture. I want to thank people for their support and ask them to remain vigilant. If they have any concerns at all, report them to the National Antiterrorist hotline. The number is 0800789321. Its important also for people here in manchester to avoid the area around Manchester Arena for Emergency Services so they can continue to effectively attend to the accident at the location. Thank you very much. Sean it appears that ends the press conference. Manchester, england. Sky news covering it. As weve been talking about here, we are now following everything we have been. They gave out a number for people that are in great britai Great Britain. To call if they have any information they can share with the police there. Joining is now at the very latest, our own Trace Gallagher. Trace. Its fascinating, that News Conference of what he didnt say, which was pretty much everything. We have confirmed a number of facts and all he really did was confirm that it was 19 dead and 50 wounded. That number of course may change. What he did not talk about and what u. S. Officials have already confirmed to a number of Media Outlets is that this was in fact a suicide bomber that hit this arena outside of the arena of the Ariana Grande concert. We knew at the hospital reports started coming in, they someone to people coming in with shrapnel wounds. Specifically male wounds. We figured it was some type of nail bomb device. U. S. Officials through u. K. Officials have confirmed that this was a suicide bomber. What you played at the top of the show is fascinating because that was the explosion that was heard on the dash cam video. When nobody understood was how he was inside his car, the dashcam facing it and yet you could still hear the explosion very loud. We thought it initially was inside the building. We had witnesses coming out. Some of them were injured. They all felt like they heard something. Nobody saw anything. There was no smoke seen inside the arena. And then the reports started coming in that the explosion was inside the foyer area, just outside in the hallway. As people were exiting. If you had eyewitness is saying that inside that foyer area, they smelled smoke. A gassy smell. Then you have the arena officials coming out and saying that this was in fact outside the arena altogether, and the Box Office Area thats between Victoria Station and Manchester Arena. For those who dont know the area, its one building. It goes up into the arena. 21,000 people, one of the biggest arenas in the u. K. Ariana grande among young people she is extraordinary popular. This was packed, according to all accounts. With anywhere from 6yearolds to 20yearolds. Mostly female. If you look online and all social media, you see these heartrending pictures of missing children. Parents and families already posting their pictures of missing children. As young as 6yearold sold. We wont show them because its on confirm that they are missing or if they are being held in some safe area. There are numbers of hotels that have taken in children that do not have parents waiting to pick them up at the time. Theres a good possibility that some of them are in those hotels. We should also point out that not only did the constable not talk about where the location of the attack was, theres no breakdown on who was killed or who was injured. No age is given at all. We just know that one man who was probably the clearest eyewitness said that he was picking up his family and he looked down the hallway and he saw a number of bodies lying there. That is when the numbers started coming out. 19 dead. 50 wounded. Again, sean, that might change. This is being looked at as terrorism right now. It certainly has all the hallmarks. Though there has been no call for responsibility as of yet. Sean Trace Gallagher joining us tonight. The u. K. Police are treating this event as a terrorist attac attack. A specific attack in this case that would be targeting children and young teenagers. Joining us now, Catherine Herridge, who has been in contact and has a report for us. Thank you, sean. Government officials confirmed that john kelly is monitoring the situation and has been briefed. We should expect a statement from the department in the very near future. Government officials said they are working to assess what happened in manchester and they noted the following. If it is confirmed as terrorism, it is a level of sophistication beyond the recent u. K. Based plots that have involved knives and vehicles as weapons. They also pointed to the reports of shrapnel is deeply concerning because this is another indicator of premeditation. A plot that may have been directed by a foreign terrorist organization. Reports of the explosion at an exit thats another indicator suggesting premeditation. It amplifies the concussive effect of the explosion. And also maximizing casualties. I asked them if there been anything in the recent chatter. Through social media and in chat rooms amongst those who are sympathetic or followers of various terrorist groups. They said it has been very steady among the islamic terror cells. The call has been to hit socalled soft targets. Talking about confirmation of a suicide bombing in this case but based on the open source media reports, it does suggest thats a a strong possibility, sean. Sean joining us now, Senior Correspondent geraldo rivera. Jay sekulow. Manny gomez. This is the first we know that children have been targeted. We know that children have been used by suicide bombers. No children have been indoctrinated. But a specific attack as police in Great Britain targeting children and young teenagers, geraldo. First thing, when i heard this news, the first thing i did was to text my daughter who was in the stadium in paris. November 2015. The feeling that a parent has when they dont know the fate of their childs in one of the public venues is indescribable. Its something i will never forget. I pity the parents now, those that dont know Ariana Grande, the former disney star, her fans are teens, most of them little girls. This takes a particular perversion, a real sickness that hatred is so vicious. I understand from the sky reported that they havent had a major mass murder on the terror scale but it was only in march, mowing down people in london. Killing five or six. Ten people in the pot. Many of them for manchester. From this northern english town. Its horrifying. I saw a couple of tweets, reporting to be ices, claiming credit. It has all the hallmarks. Particularly with the talk of a nail bomb designed to inflict maximum casualties. Sean i had prepared a show tonight before this act of terror, they are believing it is in Great Britain, police are investigating it as shots. A tale of two president s. Barack obamas apology tour and specifically donald trump framed this fight against ices. I will give you a couple of quotes here. A battle between good and evil. A Better Future is only possible if your nation drives out terrorist and extremist, he said. He said drive them out, drive them out of your places of worship, your communities. Your holy land. Drive them out of this earth. Then he said deny all territory to the foot soldiers of evil. He went on to say it is a choice between two features and a choice that america cannot make for you. Our friends will never question our support and our enemies should never doubt our determined nation. If he understands the nature of this conflict and this is the conflict i believe if the police are right is on display here. Thats absolutely correct. Sean, it was four years ago today that that british soldier was hacked to death by two islamic terrorists in southeast london. Four years ago today. Could it be a chance . Yes. Most likely its not. These are planned. As geraldo said, the utilization of the device reminiscent of what has taken place in israel, suicide bombers with the nails being shrapnel its done unbelievable damage. This is a serious, serious situation. Ill take it a step further. In the communities, and the places of worship, if someones showing signs of radical islamic station they are supposed to let authorities know. Talk with Homeland Security. The fbi. The same thing is, yet the drive them out. The targets were young girls at a concert. These barbaric terrorists are convinced to doing one thing. One thing only. The destruction of western civilization as we know it. Sean this is it. Let me actually play the trump speech from this weekend. Drive them out, it was beyond powerful. Especially in light of what police are treating as an incident of terror tonight. Is a choice between two futures. And its a choice america cannot make for you. A Better Future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. Drive them out. Try them out. Of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Of your holy land. And drive them out of the earth. Sean manny, considering the location of where he said that, compared to 2009 at Barack Obamas by far, i know the liberal destroytrumpmedia tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists are not covering it to the extent networks didnt even cover that speech. But he gets it. He is the moral clarity to understand the nature of this conflict. Absolutely. He didnt sugarcoat it. He said that at a venue. He said in saudi arabia. Appropriate. Courageous. Given the actions that have happened in the world, we have had a tax go on unchecked. With out our four leadership say much about it. Now we have a leader that has come out in their territory and told their leaders, check themselves. Sean nigel faraj, one of the leaders of the Brexit Movement and a personal friend of mine i know they are treating it as an act of terrorism. As me and geraldo mentioned, targeting young children, young teenagers. First, nigel, is a dear friend my thoughts, my prayers. All of our prayers go out to you and our friends in Great Britain, england, manchester. Your thoughts on whats going on there . Horrified. I think it marks a new low in terrorism. To willfully set out to kill and injure young girls. I think its something. This news didnt really break until after midnight our time. I think the countrys going to wake up and be very, very shocked indeed. The fact that it happened outside london will also surprise people. Terrorist attacks, the bombings of the underground or lee rigby who was killed four years ago, there will be surprised it took place outside of london and our second city of manchester. Also that it took place in public space. Thats going to worry people even more. What do you do . You can check bags, going into a venue. You can scan people but clearly the way the suicide bomber planned this was to be in a place where he simply couldnt be detected. I have to say, we are 16 days away from a general election. In which opendoor immigration and in which dealing with terrorism has to date not even been discussed. Sean nigel, you and i had many discussions. I know you supported trump as a candidate. I know he is taken great fire and heat for wanting to protect americas borders. And of course, the vetting directly contradicting our constitutional values. I called it a clash of cultures. If you grow up under sharia law, where men oppress women and people and and christians and, or if you want to assimilate into our societies, the islamization of people in europe wrong path that you believe your country is headed down. One of the reasons brexit i made it very clear to the british people, when Angela Merkel invited people into germany totally unchecked, ultimately, those people would be able to come to britain because they get european passports. It was one of the contributing factors to brexit. I think the problem is even worse in france and in belgium. One of the reasons that i wanted to support donald trump and i still very much to support donald trump and by the way, i thought that speech that he gave in saudi arabia was tremendous. He looked like an global statesman giving that speech. Sean i felt for many years that Prime Minister netanyahu was the lone voice of moral clarity on the world stage. I even said during the obama years he was the only adult on the world stage. Now its clear that the Prime Minister now has a partner. To target if you dont believe evil, and recognizing that truth, confronting the way he did is so important. I believe for the safety and security of good and free people around the world, you are right by allowing the islamization of europe and not checking peoples backgrounds, they also get into the entire european continent. Yes, with brexit weve given ourselves a chance to do with it but we havent focused so far in this election campaign. We will have a proper conversation about it. My feeling is that you in america have a real opportunity not to make the same mistakes that so many countries in europe have made. I think you have a leader. Yes, moral courage. Whatever people say about donald trump, whatever way you might upset whatever fights, when it comes to the big stuff, trump has got absolutely right. Sean our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the people of Great Britain. Youve been a very good friend to the United States. Im sure we will want to support you in any way we can. Let me go back to geraldo. And so many ways, you and i have had it relatively minor conflict in regards to immigration. You now support a wall and a lot of these measures. Youve got to admit the conflict if you grew up under sharia law and you are a man and you can oppress women, you put gays and lesbians to death. Its a clash of culture that is so wide and deep. We have to admit a truth here. I totally agree with the major thrust of your i think the majority of people in the majority of states sean ive influenced you over the years. No, i am kidding. What he has accomplished on the southern border is close to a wall. The isis trained fighters have left the United Kingdom to get trained in syria and iraq to fight there. Come back with those deadly skills, bring them back to the u. K. Many of them thats what makes it so and difficult, many of them leave the country and return because they are nativeborn, many of them christian born. They leave the u. K. , they thinky they are teaching english in afghanistan. They bring back these deadly skills, the fatal mowing down of the folks in march near west minister, where the British Parliament was. Nativeborn, christian born, converted to radical islam. The attack in most mosul, iraq. Just recently. What you have to watch, i think the key is kids that were historically in gangs are becoming radical islamists. And they are using the jihad as a context for their violence and acting out. This was a vicious, low down and dirty act. Sean police are currently treating this as an act of terrorism. We dont have fully and completely knowledge of all the facts yet. There is been so many and almost always its a perfect time in light of the president s speech, to assess all this. As free people around the world, to go exactly to the heart of what the president challenged the muslim world to do on their own. To throw them out. To drive them out of their places of worship, their countries, its got to be treated as a cancer. In human society. We are indoctrinating these kids, palestinian kids, when they are three. They are taught to hate jews and christians and americans americans. What the president laid out president obama would not do it but i dont want to politicize this but when you have eight years of the vacuum that was created, no wonder these cell groups metastasize. Does anyone want to argue tonight that we should have an executive order restricting who is coming into country, so we know who these people are . Does anyone want to argue that tonight . I would like to take on that argument. The point you made. This is a significant enough issue globally. Its not just in the United States<
