Still an active scene. First responders and Law Enforcement are out there in full force as we speak. Its too early for any kind of analysis here. Authorities not commenting on whether they suspect terrorism links or any links to the terrorist attack earlier today in the London Bridge. An eye captured the horror as it unfolded in the busiest shopping day of the year. Take a listen. Heres what we know. Theres three wounded. Police were looking for a mail suspect about 45 years old wearing a gray track suit. The chief of police says that description is wrong. This attack took place on what was a very crowded shopping street. You can see pedestrians started running and screaming. You can see the holiday lights and decorations in the background. Sources on the ground there say very festive neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season. Multiple eye witnesses are claiming the stabbing itself took place inside a store called hudsons bay. Again, the police chief says the attack was out on the streets. This city is not new to this type of event. Two people were stabbed in the haig in february. Two americans were injured in amsterdam almost a year ago. The Million Dollar question for dutch police is whether this attack is terror related and whether it has any link to the London Attack. Also important to know in an unrelated event today, isis claims they pledged new recruits in azerbaijan. Its likely isis timed this to coincide with the London Attack. Whether they have any ties to it or not, to try to prove the relevance in the wake of their leader, albaghdadis death several weeks ago. Needless to say, officials will talk with their european counter parts to make sure were ready here. Probably are already. Thanks, jillian. Officials in london say theyre stepping up Police Patrols in the wake of the deadly knife attack. Benjamin hall has more. Good evening. This attack comes week after the bridge Security Services lowered the Terror Threat level in the u. K. Because there had been a period of relative calm. Today that calm has been shattered. The attacks began just before 2 00 p. M. Local time when a man with a large knife began stabbing people along London Bridge leaving two dead and three injuries. It was extremely frightening, yes. You dont know what to do. It was the Quick Response of passers by that are being credited with preventing this from being worse. Videos show members of the public grappling with the attackers and taking a large knife from him and hold him down. Officer as arrived five minutes later and isolated him before he opened his jacket before he revealed an explosive device. He was shot and killed immediately. I cant confirm it this time. We believe a device strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax device. Now the investigation begins. Police will be working to i. D. Him, combing his social media records to learn if hes part of a Wider Network and if theres an ongoing threat. Prime minister Boris Johnson took time off to brief was trump and respond. The message we send to them and anyone associated with it is one that will be familiar. That is that this country will never be divided or intimidated by this sort of attack. London bridge itself was the scene of another terror attack in 2017 in which eight people died. On that occasion, the three attackers used a van to run people over before attacking people with knives. They were shot dead.

Kevin corke is in West Palm Beach this evening. A funfilled day of fraternity, fidelity and food. What a great job do. Thank you. To the stark reality of a frightful fragility. The taliban wants to make a deal. Well see. It has to be a real deal. Well see. The shadow of his first ever visit to afghanistan this thanksgiving, a flicker of hope for President Trump. That failed peace talks with the taliban could soon be reignited. They didnt want to do it but now they do. I believe it will probably work out that way. Well see what happens. We made tremendous progress. The trip to afghanistan came a week after a prisoner switch between washington and kabul and raised hopes for a peace deal to end the 18year war. All right, the threats of a deal were frayed followed a Taliban Attack in kabul that killed 12 people including an american soldier. Forcing President Trump to cancel scheduled talks in december. Weve been wanting to make a deal. They pulled back. Were getting close. We pulled back. We didnt want to do it because of what they did. A previously agreed to accord has seen the u. S. Reduce their military footprint in the country from around 13,000 to just under 9,000. Keeping a promise said the president to bring our troops home. Perhaps more fragile than the state of the talks, the Afghan Government itself, which was rocked by protests today amid charges of Election Fraud and a recount that seems to favor the current president. Taliban leaders spoke with reuters today. They said their stance remains effectively the same. If talks with the u. S. Are to resume in any meaningful way, they have to picked up where they stopped before. Mike . Thanks, kevin. Tonight iraqs Prime Minister says hes resigning.

More than 400 iraqis have been killed by Security Forces since demonstrations began two months ago to address corruption, lack of public services, jobs and the role that iran and iranian backed malitias have on iraqs central government. Several hundred pages of leaked reports from 2014 and 15 published by the New York Times and the intercept present a detailed portrait of just how aggressively tehran has worked to embed itself in iraqi affairs. Wednesday, demonstrators stormed the iranian consulate burning one of their buildings, occupying the grounds and demanding that irans influence in iraq be reduced. Iranian generals have used five years of the antiisis fight to arm shiite malitias. We consider this the first step. We demand a resignation of all lawmakers. We want them on trial immediately. The son of a cleric was chosen as a enter mediately. The Vice President mike pence spoke with him by phone during his visit to iraq last week. We want to see an iraq that is free of the maligned influence of iran and respecting the rights and the voices of all of its people. Its not clear how the Prime Ministers resignation and ongoing violent protests will affect the work of the 5,000 u. S. Troops based in iraq to counter isis. Mike . Thanks, jennifer griffin.

The president s tariffs on chinese imports could cause prices on toys and electronics to go up if a trade deal is not hammered out by december 15. The president has an interest in solving it because as long as the economy stays strong and a trade deal gets done, the president is in better shape for a reelection standpoint.

Tonight, how Media Outlets have been presenting the struggle what to expect in the come days, here is Fox News Media analyst and host of media buzz howie kurtz. Impeachment remains the dominant target for the media even as President Trump crudely dismisses it. They are pushing that impeachment. A lot of bad things are happening to them. Everybody says that is really [bleep]. Hearings drew around the clock coverage as the several diplomats accuse the president of a quid pro quo on ukraine and Ambassador Gordon Sondland sparked a media explosion. What sondland did today was guarantee the house of representatives is going to impeach the president of the United States. So they pushed him and they pushed him and they pushed him again but Gordon Sondland in the end would not mouth his talking points. Even comparisons to the john dean during watergate. Trumps ambassador who originally changed his testimony drew less coverage admitted under republican questioning that the president never told him to pressure ukraine to investigate the bidens and in fact said he wanted no quid pro quo. Here is my response if you werent fake news you would cover it properly. Other republicans accuse them of exaggerating. Same preportis russ reporting that the media offered for three years on the russian hoax. Some commentates were stunned by every witness including fiona hill. We have been watching some of the most searing testimony. Her Opening Statement was short but it packed a wallop. Vindman struck me as the most devastating we have seen in the public hearing to date. The rising media outrage wasnt reflected in the tv ratings which declined from 13 million to 11. 5 million. Much of the press says the hearings proved the president committed impeachable offenses while trumps media defenders dismissed them as a partisan show. The latest polls show for all the coverage, public support for impeachment hasnt moved one bit. Mike . Mike howie kurtz reporting in washington tonight. Thanks a lot.
