We want to get right to our overnight raids, tied to swords van and knife attack on london brib bridge and at nearby bars and restaurants. Were seeingid c from that night for the first time. And the president has weighed in. We have complete coverage from londonhouse. Let us start with nbcs chief global correspondent, bill neely. Bill, good morning to you. Savannah. New raids. New searches this morning. And the continuing aftershocks from saturday nights slaughter. The police andec facg tough quet whether weeks. And if theyy didnt act sooner. Dramatic, new video of police confnt killers. One man trying to officers fire volleys of gunfire at the and injured. Im trying safe. Reporter dozens more running for their lives. Just saw two guys getting k the attackers within minutes. British media report that one o British Channel 4 documentary, with an isis flag in a park last year. And a confrontation with police. We do bieare. We have made a number of arrests. Reporter police are searching more homes thi morning. And investigating a claim by isis that the carnage began before 10 00i call that the van had mounted the sidewalk,pedestrians. When it stoppedidge three men burrough market, bi targeting drinkers at the tavern and diner at the bla a police fired 50 shots, killing all 3 attackers outsideth first identified, is canadian chrissy archibald, who worked homeless. Her family grieving the loss of a beautiful daughter and sister. She had room in herorte afte slaughter, the mondayet london. The security heavy, the anxiety real. Well, britains Prime Minister, theresa may, have confirmed that e attackers are known. Shes under pressure, so, too, are attack in prison in three months. The fear more copycat bash, sef administration. The cia during as bill just mentioned, jeremy. Two weeks ago, we had the manchester bombing. Ago, the att the westminster bridge. Third attack, last ten weeks. United kingdom . They dont appear to be connected. But this is the evolution of threat. Previous ram attack, where they use the lowtech means, a car, individual. A lone wolf. This was a soft target but conducted by a team. That givsomeing to look at. These people had to communicate. They had to plan. They had to rent the vehicle. You mentioned itpe that the attack and this attack over the weekend, werent connected. But are they youelee a big atta the one in manchester, does that inspire others who may be it . May be considering an attack like this . Does that get them courage and go for it . We think there is a copycat hightech means to recruio to encourage people to undertake the attacks. In the u. K. , about 900 individuals have trave the u. K. Theyre iid surveillance. It would seem that radicaliz more common than it is here. If thats a fair assessment, why is that theouve seen, in oth countries, they have not done as tod a job to integrate its operational. The u. K. Has to step uper isis. Going deep into the command and control mode against isis in syria. Jeremy bash, always good toyo in his first speech since the london attack,s necessary to keep the u. S. Safe. But his initial response on twitter is a source of controversy this morning. Well talk about that with kellyanne conway. But first, Peter Alexander a good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Those remarks last night, melania tru President Trump calling for resolve against a vile eni. He has spoken wither t terrese. And it came after tweets that critics are describing as misdirected and divering his first Public Comments after the terrorist attack in london. America sends our thoughts, our prayers and her deepest sympathies to the this evil slaughter. This bloodshed must end. This bloodshed will end. Reporter this morning, the president s facing his unfiltered response after the violence. Early sunday tweeting, we must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our teeing off on mayor, sadiq khan, mid crisis, who o carry on. Londoners will see an increased Police Presence next. Reporter the president mentioning the dead and wounded reason to be alarm. The spokesman fired back, saying the mayor has more things to do than respondtrumps tweets. Al gore weighing in, as well. I dont think a terrorist who is s a time to be divisive trying to organize his citys response to this attack. Reporter the president s first tweet right after the attack, not sending his condolences, but we need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the travel ban as an extra level of safety. With then appealing its case to the Supreme Court, democrats organize the ban is ineffective. Theres no evidence to suggest that by banning muslims or banning muslims from a particular set of six countries, that we would make ourselves here in the United States safer. Reporter the president up emingly undermining his aides is insistence this is not a travel ban. Heres what he wrote. People, the lawyers and the courts, can call it whatever they want. But im calling it what we need and what it is, a travel ban. The president urging the Justice Department to stick with the original ban, as opposed to what he describes as the watereddown politically correct version being considered by the Supreme Court. Peter, thank you. That brings us to white houseellyne conway. Good to see you. Good morning. Thank you. Lets start with the series of tweets. Just a matter of taste and judgment and accuracy, doesondo on apology for tweeting a politic attack hours after the terrorist incident and misleadingly quoting him. Was tha it wasnt a political a, savannah. As was buried in that report, onesided report, heres the other side. That the president stands firm with the people of the u. K. He spoke to the Prime Minister of the entire country, theresa may, that same night. And yesterday, he announced h t. I was in the ford gala when he said, we will get these people, bring them to justice. The bloodbaths have to stop. Fair enough, kellyanne. Lshe that was his first tweet. You make this about something other than what its about. Im not going to allow a day and a half terrorists did it again, theyre savage murderers. Its an evil gng to let him be n as the perpetrator here. Every time you said russia, imagine you said isis. But kellyanne, infairness, hes setting the agenda. He spokes. Say to theresa ers what he may . His own political concern the travel ban, he has four more tweets about that this morning. And a misleading attack on londons mayor. My questioas owe an apology to londons mayor for quoting him in a misleading and so, weve got the 23rd isisinspired or directed attack taking innocent lives, children in manchester, children in nice. We want to know, put some rthis trump. Im not going to allow it. Heres what hes doing as president of the United States and commander in chief, firm, because an attack on london is an attack on american values, also. Theyre our greatest ally. We will do whatever it takes to. The state department, the president , everybody else involved, me, now, will express our condolences. Weve publicly and privately, as well. The with covering everything he says on twitter and little of what he does as president. Thats his preferred method. Thats not true. Its all hes done in three igure out whats going on or whats goinguntrng even though its held up in the courts, what is stopping the administration from using this time to look at this travel ban . And if thats happening, expect . I believe the Supreme Court is set to take it up. And so, well get some kind of response there couldnt review working its way through the courts, couldnt review immigration security while thats happening . This is what ill say about the actual statute. I think people should look at the authority of any president , including this one, to vetting screening processes. Were talking about six countries that have been previously identified by the obama administration. They harbor or train or export. People dont have the right vetting and screening processes in place. And i also want to mention something else. We saw ithe telegraph of the u. K. Report that one of the terrorists had two neighbors who reported him to law enforcement. Ong this man had been radicalized watching youtube videos and he was concerned about his future behavior. The second neighbor said this man, the same man, was trying to radicalize her childre playground. Thats what we should be talking about today, the fact that if youre going to see something and Say Something, it has to be followed by do something. Through his travel ban, is trying to do something, to protect the people of this country. And we stand in solidarity with the u. S. , and others that have been victims, in nice, in inpar. We have to stop looking the other way, folks. This should be a nonpartisan issue. You get agreement with this table on that, kellyanne. Quickly. James comey, the former fbi director, set to testify on real simple question. Does the white house plan to exert executive privilege or any other maneuver to prevent this testimony . Or would you say the president would like james comey to testify . The president will make this final decision. If mr. Comey testifies, well be watching with everyone else. I would point out two things. Most of washington, many of the democrats, detested this him, which jim comey said in his goodbye letter, was the right of theo do secondly, jim comey, the last time he testified under oath, the fbi had to scurry and correct his testimony immediately because what he said was false. He was off by hundreds of thousands in terms of the emails between houanthy weiner. And there were two classified in there. And he was off by many, many, in terms of the classification. But thats true what you just stated. But does the white house consider it a possibiprevent th testimony by asserting executive privilege. Is that an open possibility . The pde okay. The fact is, if he tests, pe Rod Rosenstein memo points out y and the morale were down. And he points out that comey had tried to usurp the power of the attorney general, and he did quote textbook what youre not supposed to do, by holding a press availability and announcing why they decided not to prosecute hillary clinton. Indeed. And more to come on this. Of course, the president supported those actions by comey at the time. Kellyanne conway, thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Two weeks after the terrorist attack that struck her concert, Ariana Grande made an emotional return to the stage in manchester. The pop star leading an allstar event for the victims. Kelly cobiella was there. It was quite the show. So emotional. Hard to believe it was organized in a matter of days. It came off without a hitch. Lifting spirits here in manchester.
