Britains Prime Minister says another terror attack could happen at any time in the united kingdom. Police in manchester made three more arrests in connection. 22 people, some of them children, died in the explosion. Were learning more. 119 were hurt, 64 are still in the hospital. The sun shows the suicide bomber. Salman abedi shows libyan ties where his family is from. The government has raised its highest level of critical meaning another threat may be imminent. He may have had friends who are planning another attack. Scott pelley is in manchester and joins us with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, gayle. The heightened state of alert has taken effect across britain today. Thousands of soldiers are being sent to stand guard at local areas all around the country to free of Police Officers for counterterrorism duty. In london, Buckingham Palace canceled its traditional changing of the guard so the police could be deployed elsewhere and Britains Parliament is now closed to all visitors until the security level is lowered. Mark phillips is here with the latest on the investigation. Mark . Reporter scott, however tragic this bombing appeared at the beginning at least according to the police, it was simple. The bomber, they said, acted alone. Now theyre not so sure. The police raids in the area around the home of the suspect have led to increasing suspicions that the manchester bomber ma i not have been a lone wolf. Salman abedy had been considered a minor figure, not a dangerous one. He was born and bred to a family who left libya in the 90s but he had traveled there lately but they believe he traveled to syria and may have been more connected to the Islamic State than they thought. The attack on the crowd of mostly young people appears to have come just a few weeks after abedy returned from his last trip, and Security Forces now expect a connection. The area abedi comes from has been known as a recruits ground for isis with a dozen or some of o its young people going off to fight in syria. The police raids here have led to a conclusion announced by Prime Minister theresa may to raise the security level. This means that armed Police Officers responsible for duties such as guarding key sites will be replaced by members of the armed forces which will allow the police to significantly increase the number of armed officers on patrol in kilo indications. Reporter there wasnt much in the way of security be seen as man mancunians got back to w but perhaps living in the city all always a delusion is somewhat gun. The authorities feel that an attack may be imminent. In this case, what theyre saying is they cant be sure an attack is not going to happen. In other words, scott, this bombing has demonstrated what the authorities dont know rather than what they do. Mark phillips, thanks very much, mark. The people of the city are showing an enormous amount of strength and resilience. Theyre reaching out to loved ones in the bombing. Jonathan vigliotti is where thousands attended a vigil for the victim yesterday. Jonathan . Reporter good morning. Of the 22 people confirmed dead, police say there are still a number that have not been identified, which means this morning there are parents anxiously awaiting word. This is my daughter olivia. I havent seen her since 5 00 last night. Reporter a mothers plea for help only grew more desperate as her daughters absence continued. I need my daughter home. I need to know where she is. I really shouldnt have to do this. Even if you think its her, let someone know it might be here. Please. I just want her home. I want her bam in my arms. Reporter but today Charlotte Campbell returned to facebook her hope lost. R. I. P. My darling precious gorgeous girl olivia campbell, she wrote, taken far, far too soon. Go sing with the angels and keep smiling. Mommy loves you so much. 15yearold olivia was amok the thousands leaving the aryan na gran da show when terror struck. One managed to escape the chaos. It goes back in my mind hearing the scream and seeing the people running. I think i should have done more but i didnt know what to do. Reporter last night as the scale of this tragedy continued to take shape, thousands gathered together at a vigil to remember those lost and to stand defiant against an attack on innocence. Many of the victims who did not make it out were teenaged girls. The youngest victim just 8 years old. Shocked. It hit very close to home. I came here to show my support because manchester stands together, stands strong, and nothings going to stop that ever. Reporter and some of those who did make it out found safety and comfort in the hands of strangers. We spoke with one taxi driver yesterday who was in that exact location at the time of the attack. He said he saw hundreds of people running to him. He opened up his door and crammed eight people into his van. Scott, he continued to do those trips throughout the night. Reporter Jonathan Vigliotti in Manchesters Albert Square. Thanks. Were going to have much more from manchester ahead, including the reactions of many of the people we spoke to during last nights vigil. For now, back to all of you at the Broadcast Center in new york. Thank you, scott. Cbs contributor mike morrill was acting director of the cia. What stands out to you about him . The fact that he traveled to libya frequently. We know that isis is in libya, once had a stronghold in libya. Its possible he had isis contacts there. Its also possible he traveled to syria. Theyre still trying to figure that out. I think thats whats important. He may have come into contact with isis. So this may be more an isis directed attack rather than a lone wolf selfradicalized attack. When you say behind the scenes raise the threat level, what exactly does that mean . Theres five threat levels in the uk. Since 2014 theyve been at the highest level because of all of the terrorist activity. Yesterday they raised it to the highest level. Reason they did that is theyre not sure he did not act with a bigger group, that he was part of a bigger network. Until they figure that out its best to assume he was and that more attacks might be coming. Well see over the next couple of days whether hes par of a network or not. What it means is the military replaces the police in some of the most vulnerable areas, and so thats what will change on the street. One of the reasons i think this story is so painful and egregious is mm of the victims are young girls and the bomber knew that. Are they trying to say, we will take your children . Isis has said from the very beginning that women and children are part of the targets, they dont make a distinction between men, women, and children, and i think thats what we saw here. Im not sure he targeted because they were young children, but he didnt care that they were. On the battlefield of iraq and syria weve seen these attacks. Does it mean theyre strong and continuing to be a huge threat . We are making huge gains. Mosul will fall by the end of the week, raqqah by the end of year. Whats happening is two things. One is isis is saying to the world dont come to iraq and syria anymore. Conduct attacks for us where you live. So thats becoming a stronger message that may have played a role here. And second is 7,000 people from western europe went to fight in iraq and syria. 2,000 have come home already. Some have died on the battlefield. But as they get squeezed more and more in mosul and raqqah, more and more are going to come home and that actually raises the threat level. You have to have watched former cia director brennans testimony yesterday. Whats your takeaway from that. What struck me, charlie, is that the u. S. Government was concerned enough last summer about russian interference in the election that they had the cia director make contact with his russian counterpart and tell them to stop and the russians clearly didnt. So my question is what did the Obama Administration do after that, after they learned that the warning had fallen on deaf ears . It appears they did nothing. It appears they did nothing. Michael morell, thank you as always. Youre welcome. President trump is meeting with israeli leaders this morning after his meeting at the vatican. Their half our visit started with a handshake. They put aside their differences and clashes to make way for peace. Margaret brennan is traveling with the president in rome. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The holy see caps President Trumps tour of the great mono lis tick religion. Everyone since eisenhower has gotten a visit with the holy father but pope francis and donald trump are two unique and starkly different leaders. Swiss guard saluted President Trump and the first lady as they arrived for a facetoface meeting with pope francis at the apostolic palace. Mr. Trump introduced his sizeable entourage including daughter ivanka and soninlaw jared kushner. For a religious leader to question a persons faith is disgraceful. When asked about the border issue the pope said its not christian. I dont Like Fighting with the pope. Reporter the two leaders also have diametrically opposed views on many issues. We will suspend the syrian refugee program. President trump tried to ban Syrian Refugees while pope francis personally took in 12 muslims who had washed up on greek shores to rome on his papal plane. When asked about the upcoming meeting, pope francis said, quote, i never make a judgment about a person without listening to them. After todays 30minute closed door meeting the pope appeared to give a gentle nudge to change President Trumps mind on Climate Change which he previously called a hoax, presenting him with three books including one he focuses on, caring for our common home, the environment. Mr. Trump gave him a custom set of the documented writings of Martin Luther king jr. He said he never forget what he told him. Then the president and the first lady went on a private tour of the sistine chapel. Next they head to naples later today. Former cia director john brennan told the House Committee he grew increasingly worried last year about contact with the Trump Campaign and russian officials, talking about his general experience, he went on to say, frequently, individuals who go along a treasonous path do not even realize theyre along that path until it gets to be a bit too late. Nancy cordes watched the whole thing and this morning is on capitol hill. Good morning. Good morning. Sometimes these officials can be a lot more candid after they leave government and that was certainly the case with brennan on tuesday. On other hand, a current top intelligence appointee was much less forthcoming when he was grilled about whether President Trump pressure him to downplay the investigation. I dont feel its appropriate to characterize discussions and conversations with the president. The director of National Intelligence repeatedly refused to say what the president asked of him and of nsa director mike rogers. Have you talked about this issue with admiral rogers . I would like to withhold that question at this particular point in time. Former cia director john brennan told a House Committee tuesday that he saw a troubling pattern emerge last year involved the Trump Campaign. And i was worried by a number of the contacts that the russians had with u. S. Persons. By last july he had set up an Interagency Task force comprised of agents from the cia, fbi, and nsa. I know what russians try to do. They try to sub born individuals and try to get u. S. Persons to act on their behalf either wittingly or unwittingly. The former chief, now a private citizen, admitted he doesnt know where the investigation stands now. These are contacts that might be totally innocent and benign that might have now succumbed e to the russians efforts. I saw information intelligence that was worthy of the investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation of conclusion was taken place. The Senate Intelligence committee hit former National Intelligence security adviser fired Michael Flynn with more subpoenas yesterday. They want documents from two of his businesses and if he continues to stonewall, they say, he could be held in content of congress. Gayle . Thank you, nancy. A new report obtained by cbs this morning claims there might be more on safety. It was held by anned a voe cassie group called work says. In 2015 the number of recordable injuries at Teslas Fremont factory in california was 31 higher than the industry average. The rate was about double the industry rate that year. In a statement tesla says this. We may have had some challenges in the past, but with changes, we now have the lowest injury rate in the industry by far. Carter evans spoke with some of the employees making accusations. Reporter what is the chief complaint here . Injuries are the number one problem there. Did you ever tell any managers about this . Managers and supervisors. Reporter and what did they do . Looked at me as a complainer. Tomorrow on cbs this morning more from carters interview and a look inside the tesla factory.
