Some details are emerging about the suspect in the bombing, salman abedi. He was a local man who dropped out of college, atened a moderate, not a radical moscow. How he was radicalized, where did he learn to build such a lethal bomb, and did he have any help . And if he was known to police, was there a security failing that contributed to this tragedy . Hes are all questions now being asked here, scott. Pelley Mark Phillips for us tonight. Mark, thank you. The people of manchester speak way distinct dialect known as the mank accent. You can thank peter noone of hermans hermits or davey jones of the monkees. Today, their mayor spoke for the entire city with pride. They opened their doors to strangerstrangers and drove they from danger. They gave the best possible Immediate Response to those who seek to divide us. And it will be that spirit of manchester that will prevail and hold us together. Pelley they opened their hearts and stood in line to give blood. They tweeted offers of help for anyone in need. One offer of help came from a taxi driver, saf ismail. Heres Jonathan Vigliotti. There were so many people coming out. And the thing that was getting me was it was the age. Reporter how old . Oh, young. And it was, like, seeing my daughter there. And my daughters 15. And she was going to come to this concert. Reporter she was supposed to go.

Reporter saf made three trips last night, and managed to cram 24 people into the back of his van. He provided a safe place amid so much chaos. Scott. Pelley Jonathan Vigliotti here in manchester. Thanks. Well, echoes of what happened here made it all the way across the atlantic, of course, and here is our justice correspondent jeff pegues. Reporter within minutes of the attack in manchester, new York City Police dispatched heavy weapons teams to highprofile locations like Madison Square garden. In the dallas area, police also made a show of force at a john legend concert. The bombing at the Ariana Grande concert exposed the outside of arenas as potential soft targets. Ron hosko was a former assistant director of the f. B. I. The goal, obviously, for these folks, i dont have to hurt everyone. I just have to make my mark. Reporter hosko says terrorists view people entering and exiting event, from papal masses to hockey games, as easy targets. Typically, security is relaxed when an event ends. You exhale because the events over. Thats right. Reporter but what manchester shows is that maybe you have to rethink that. Thats right. And rethink how do we push security . And weve seen this at airport as well. How do we push the security perimeters back in a way that just doesnt make the choke point further back . Reporter but in some places, its not practical to change the brim primters. Correspondent don dahler is in new yorks times square. Reporter its especially challenging here in times square where 300 to 500,000 people pass through this pedestrian plaza on any given day. With eight streets and multiple sidewalks converging here, this is a vulnerable area that police say they simply cannot make 100 safe. Reporter Police Acknowledge that they cant do it alone and that there is strengths streng in numbers. In new york, these subway posters encourage people to watch for danger. Police say tips have stopped violent attacks. Scott, the f. B. I. Has said that terrorist attacks in this country could have been stopped in only someone had reported suspicious activity. Pelley jeff pegues, thanks. Soon after the blast, Ariana Grande tweeted, broken. From the bottom of my heart, i am so sorry. Y dont have words. The singer flew home to florida on a private jet today, and there are reports that her European Tour has been called off. President trump had this reaction while appearing today with the palestinian authority, president mahmoud abbas, in bethlehem. So many young, beautiful, innocent People Living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life. I wont call them monsters. Because they would like that term. They would think thats a great name. I will call them from now on losers because thats what they are. Theyre losers. And well have more of them. But theyre losers, just remember that. Pelley mr. Trump and the first lady later flew to rome. Tomorrow he will meet with pope francis. While the sprt traveling, a senate panel grilled a top intelligence official that mr. Trump had tried to get him to say that there is no evidence his campaign colluded with russia. This was first reported in the Washington Post and has now been confirmed by cbs news. Here is our chief Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes. Is that an accurate reporting, direct coats . Reporter the director of national intelligence, dan coats, was reluctant today to speak out about the man who appointed him. I dont feel its appropriate to characterize discussions and conversations with the president. Reporter cbs news has confirmed that the president asked coats to push back on the f. B. I. s russia investigation. Mr. Trump made the same request of n. S. A. Director mike rogers. Have you talked about this issue with admiral rogers . That is that is something that i would like to withhold that question at this particular point in time. Reporter across the capitol, former c. I. A. Director, john brennan, described in the greatest detail yet why the Trump Campaign team first came under scrutiny. I was aware of intelligence and information about contacts between russian fors and u. S. Persons that raised concerns, in my mind bwhether or not those individuals were cooperating with the russians. Reporter by last july, he said, the volume of contacts was large enough to warrant the creation of a working group made up of agents from the c. I. A. , f. B. I. , and n. S. A. Having been involved in many counterintelligence cases in the past, i know what the russians try to do. They try to suborn individuals, and they try to get individuals, including u. S. Persons, to act on their behalf, either wittingly or unwittingly. And frequently individuals who go along the treasonous path do not even realize theyre along that path until it gets to be a bit too late. Reporter california democrat jackie speier. Were you aware that they were attempting to cultivate thenreal estate developer donald trump for almost eight years . Im not going to talk about any individuals. Reporter republicans, like south carolinas trey gowdy, noted that contact alone was not proof wrongdoing. Did you see evidence of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between donald trump and russian state actors . I saw information intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation or conclusion was taking place . What was the nature of the information . As i said, mr. Gowdy, i think this committee now has access to the type of information that im alluding to here. Its classified, and im happy to talk about it in classified session. Reporter brennan revealed for the first time today that he reached out to his russian counterpart last year and told him that russia would pay a price if it didnt stop trying to meddle in the u. S. Election. Scott, the russian official denied the charges but told brennan that he would take his concerns to vladimir putin. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill. Thanks. Coming up next on the cbs evening news, from manchester, the sobering truth about drinking and Breast Cancer. And later, well remember 007, sir roger moore. becky i started smoking when i now i have endstage copd. My tip is; if you keep smoking, your freedom may only go as far as your oxygen tube. announcer you can quit. For free help, call 1800quitnow. All umm. Ed. You wouldnt want your painter to quit part way, i think you missed a spot. So when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day . Aleve, live whole not part. You want this color over the whole house . Pelley weve known for some time there is a link between drinking and Breast Cancer. But a new report says that even a little alcohol can increase the risk. Heres dr. Jon lapook. Reporter the report reviewed data on more than 12 million women from dozens of studies around the world and found that just one small glass of wine, beer, or other alcohol daily was associated with an increased risk of Breast Cancer. For premenopausal women, the risk increased 5 . For postmenopausal women it increased 9 . Anne mctiernan from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research center is one of the authors. The risk of Breast Cancer does increase with more alcohol so two drinkaise day can give you twice the risk of one drink a day or three drinks a day increases the risk by three times. Reporter on the positive side, vigorous exercise such as run, fast cycling, or spinning, was associate associated with ae risk in premenopausal wen and a 10 lower risk in postmenopausal woman. We wouldnt recommend a woman drink four drinks and the next morning go for a jog and that will cure everything. It may not work that way. Women who keep their weight in a normal range, are physically active, limit their alcohol to one drink a day, that can significantly reduce risk for developing Breast Cancer. Reporter on the one hand, alcohol increases the risk of Breast Cancer. On the other hand, in moderation, it may decrease the risk of heart disease. So its a balancing act that has to take into account which disease is the bigger threat for any one woman. Pelley dr. Jon lapook. Thanks, doc. Still ahead, for your eyes only.
