poignant way. nick taylor joins me now. director we charity foundation for peace. tell us a bit of your story you've been personally impacted by an attack that took away a very precious relative. >> yeah about 25 years ago our charity was founded when we lost two boys in a terrorist attack in england. but we wanted to really make a difference by hoping that nobody else went through what we went through. that's why we started our organization. >> tell us about what people are now going through. i know thankfully your son survived. tell us about what people might be going through now because they're going through the worst days of their lives. >> it's very raw at the moment. family and friends are really important at this time. it's not about professional services unless you're obviously injured or you're needing health care, emergency health care. but over time this there will develop. this is something that stay was people a long time.
11:05 pm
that's why we run the survival assistance network in great britain. any victim or survivor of terrorism can be referred to us and we have trained psychologists. we have case workers that will work with those people forever and day. >> um-hum. and what is it that they need most right now. >> at the moment family and friends to be listened to, acknowledged, not to be judged, to be heard. those things that are so important. giving people time process. we shouldn't hide away from it we have got to acknowledge what happened. >> does the attention -- they're getting a lot of attention you now -- help or does it hurt? or does it depend on the person. >> yeah people are different. some are very are resilient i've been talking to a guy in londened lot his son in 7/7. he feels elements to reach out to those who have gone through similar circumstances so that he can help them. >> and what about when the attention -- inevitably wanes on
11:06 pm
them? is there a sense of perhaps a void there because you're very busy in way and keeps your mind busy the first few days. then i imagine you're kind of left more alone with your thoughts. >> that's the real issue that's where we come in with the foundation for peace. all we ask at the moment is people make contact. there will be a lot of attention for weeks to come. there will be anniversaries, memorial services, kmem rations like this. the city has to get back on its tooth feet as well this is a big weekend lots of events but when that all goes goes we'll still be around. >> so many other attacks in other cities how united manchester is. everybody is resilient big cities come together. but i found so much just a sense of community in manchester and it is a big city. and i was struck by that. >> yeah it's a huge city. it's been important that the uk in the international media come here as well this city embraces
11:07 pm
difference, diversity. if there was somewhere for this to happen to actually recover this city has can it do it. i'm from the north of england. . there is a great deal of tribalism in the cities but we come together. >> you felt that, in fact, felt -- you didn't feel hatred. you felt a community coming together, free rides, free food. a truck here raising money with free food. people actually gifting reporters free water the other day as you know this day and age doesn't happen often. i was very impressed. >> well the sand ridgel itself was amazing seeing all the diverse communities and people on stage. you're right free taxi people cueing to give bloopd. i got something like 200 voluntaries coming on the streets this weekend. fwichgt out leaf lets to be here with the people of manchester. >> we speak spoke with you early on now a week later having an opportunity to process it more thank you for joining us here on
11:08 pm
cnn. >> all right going i understand to our colleague neen o dos santos in london with more on the investigation. nina. >> thanks very much, hala. well the latest is another individual a man arrested in the north side area of manchester. despite the fact that the informing information sharing between the uk and unitedstates temporarily suspended on this particular case yesterday on the back of a number of significant leaks that came stateside. that has been reassumed but dispute a that it seems as though information is still filtering through. particularly the u.s. security officials have been telling us here at cnn they believe that isis may well have trained salman abedi and trips he made to libya and also potentially to countries like syria. he could have gained training in explosive materials. it's believed that some of this information and some of in rationale comes from some of the material that they've managed to
11:09 pm
gather in a number of of the raids and severance that happened in the manchester area over the course of the last few days. ious yesterday we saw the chief constable of the manchester police brief the media and tell them some of the items they recovered from the searches had been extremely significant but the raids and severance still tin apace across the northwest of england other neighboring cities near manchester. this is very much a live investigation. and the issue of this protecting this information will rumble on in the background today. as number 10 downing street continues to deal with the aftermath of this. i should say without the british prime minister because she has been in brussels and moving on to cicily for the g 7 meeting. if that continues scheel have an opportunity to press the u.s. president on this issue. although he did give firm assurance that is he would get to the bottom out how this information about a live investigation leaked out. we have the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson also going
11:10 pm
to be in the builds just in front of me the one next door to downing street the foreign office, the foreign secretary boris johnson going to be hoefting him that will be a reinforcement this key relationship between the uk and the united states. it's one of the most successful relationships in terms of counterintelligence gathering. they really want to show -- a show of strength and show of solidarity here despite the recent resists on the investigation as it continues. hala. >> nina at 10 downing street thanks very much. after the first day in brussels as nina mentioned we're following the g 7 summit in cicily, also the visit by rex tillerson to 10 downing street perhaps a way to mend some of the -- mend president relationship between the two countries after the intelligence leak in the united states of some of those aftermath photos of the bombing here in mastered. back to you. >> a busy news day and we are
11:11 pm
following two major political stories thank you halo in the western u.s. state of montana gianforte is expected to win the vacate congressional seat. even more cmo after he was accused of assaulting aer to. >> the other story u.s. officials now say president trump's son-in-law and son-in-law jared kushner is under scrutiny by the fbi. investigation into russian election meddling has reached into the tlufrp family. >> more on this senior politic willing dialen ron brownstone joins us both in hour. good to see you. okay let's start off with the election in montana. so, ron, it was a close margin. >> yes. >> is there something there for everybody to claim viktly. >> there are a couple of points first of all most important port
11:12 pm
point is the calf gnat there is no consistent recommendation twn the results of special elections historically what happens in the actual next election that's important to get out of the way. two ways to look at it the most optimistic way for democrats is we've had three special elections to fill vacancies left by trump appointments in each of them the democrat candidate outperformed what the party managed in 2016. here they ran 8 points about the better than 2016. in kansas 16 pinpoints better if they keep up that level of ert increase they will definitely be in position to compete for the house because there are many districts not pass reliably republican as the three we have been voting on so far. but that's only part of it. there is another part. what this says, the fact that even amid this disapproval of the health care bill and the controversy over the body slamming, incredible events of the past 4 hours, the fact he was able to win a solid victory says that the republican hold on cultural conservative nonurban
11:13 pm
america is very, very strong. and if democrats are going to win back the house in 2018 they're going to have maximize opportunities in urban and suburban districts. the georgia election in june is ray actually a better i think reflection of the kind of places they have a chance to win and going to have to win bus what it says tick particularly in the trump era this part of his coalition is still there the weak weakest link sr. the white suburbanites where he is underperforming. >> the victory is in sight at the end of the day you have to -- i know special elections don't foretell what's going to happen in the mid-terms. the democrats have to put up really serious candidates. we're talking about in montana we're talking about quist a guy with no prior experience, first time candidate who is folk musicians. seems like a nice guy. but you know you got -- if you want to win if you want to register the w, you got put up serious candidates because there
11:14 pm
is a a lot of money, a lot of energy, a lot of fear and trep tags about trump and everything he is doing to the country and republicans are doing to the country fear among democrats. so these are winnable election he is. but it requires not just the, the harm trump has done to his own party it requires real candidates. >> i totally agree with that but there are a lot of head wints winds facing democrats in interior states nonurban communities np. that's where trump maid the biggest gains from 2012 that's where the coalition held up the best and where he is the most conspicuously weak where he is the most underperforming is on the better educated more affluent suburban communities. for example five districts in the l.a. media market right within driving distance of us that were won by hilt in 2016 but republicans held on. after tonight those become more important for democrats in 2018. >> let me ask you something dylan brought up in the past hour, the fact that democrats haven't been able to get any
11:15 pm
wins on the board what point does that start to affect the don'ters raising the money. >> i don't think this is that -- montana is very tough to rain particularly in the. where you have the urban verse nonurban much donald trump wins 2600 off the other three thousand. georgia is actually a bigger test for democrats because even though it is a republican leaning dprikt and tom price the health and human services secretary won over in 2016. it is the kind of place this they have to win more like the districts in los angeles diverse, white collar that is the combination where donald trump with weakest. there you have seen a more serious democratic effort even if the consent not perfect. i think if they don't win that with everything else going on i think then you'll begin to get a bit of concern among markets it's important to know if they important to make the gains the level they have been ver the kpeft for the house in 2018.
11:16 pm
>> one issue which didn't come up in the montana was the alleged issue there's been a development of that the jared kushner he is the focus of the fbi vision. dylan we don't know a lot about what exactly what the fisher wants to know but how serious is it that someone within the white house is now you know the focus of the fbi. >> politicly it's very serious. you're right. the fact that he is being called into this investigation does not mean he is guilty of any sort of criminal. what it means is it gets closer to the president. obviously jared kushner you know -- the president trump keeps a tight inner circle. kushner is right in it. it brings it closer to the president. it causes us to revisit some of the inexperience and ineptitude how that campaign was run. whether or not he should have been meeting with russians. we have to wait and see. i say the media should proceed
11:17 pm
with caution here, report on what it knows don't get ahead of itself. >> what's the next move for the white house? because it is to dylan's point building the nar fif deepening the cloud hanging over the administration. >> you could argue the investigation the reached into the white house by the president's own actions. the james comey memo and the refrmgss about his phone calls to the director of national intelligence and head of nsa put him directly in the forefront. they face a reality there is going to be process stories on two separate fronts kind of inevitably for week after week after week. both on the independent counsel investigation and the congressional regulation investigations. i think that puts increasing pressure on them to do what other administrations have done at moments of kind of persistent scandal which is essentially task outside group or even an inside group within the administration saying you are the once who deal with it compartmentalize no one else talking about it presumably even the president. >> although that would not be
11:18 pm
the president. >> that's not this president. >> haven't that he they established a war room. >> the thing about this white house there are so many competing faxes pl. first of all trump is a guy who only listens to himself and makes impulsive decisions. he is pulled from different dirchtd sides, different advisers. then you have to get the inexperience question. there are a lot of people in the white house don't know what they're doing. never sort of been in any sort of state house or you know. >> even his phone call -- dsh the two phone calls from the president reported by the "washington post". one thing that's not in in the story is whether he asked the white house counsel -- did others say yeah that's a good idea to have -- the idea he is someone who has been in business and doesn't know what is appropriate or inappropriate. i think it doesn't -- you don't have been to be in government 40 years to know there are questions about calling intelligence services to in essence to ask them to either prejudge or forestall at active investigation involving your
11:19 pm
campaign. you do wonder as dylan was saying who else is he listening to sometimes when you see the tweets with misspellings it tells us no one is reading those, not even the spell check is working. before they go out. but you do wonder who is the. >> the greatest liability here is the president himself because he will go off and do things and no one can control that actually. >> leave it there. someone did make the point it's hard to go out and campaign as the smartest guy in the room and say well i messed up two things are at odd. >> quick break donald trump campaigned on the platform of america first. and apparently that applies to photo ops as well more from an awkward nato summit, next. i am totally blind.

mel of everyone u.s. president trump was at the center of a few curious moments at thursday as nato summit a parade of awkward hand shakes got things startwood emmanuel mark rn on the receiving end of two. >>. mr. trump is set to address the g 7 summit which some may consider a relief after the stern speech to nato allies. he slammed member nations for

not meeting defense commitments. 2% of the country as gdp. >> if all nato members had spent just 2% of their gdp on defense last year we would have had another $119 billion for our collective defense and for the financing of additional nato reserves. >> well and nick ronts robertson joins us live from cicily where a g 7 summit gets underway shortly given the actions and comments of president trump during the nato summit how is he likely to be received by the other g 7 leaders there in cicily? >> well they're going to have more time around the table. it's going to give the leaders of britain france germany abgermany and canada a chance to get to know president trump. it's very clear his style at nato was i'm not giving the

11:31 pm
resume intelligence shares sharing with the united states united states. they stopped doing that after accuseding american officials of leaking the aftermath of the bombing first appearing in the "new york times." let's get more on thes case including the attack he is leaks to libya. we've been talking about libya because the attacker spent three weeks there before come back to manchester. there are concerns and questions about whether or not he may have received some training or some direction from isis or some sort of group inside of libya. what is the presence of a group like isis in libya and how coordinated are they? i know they're under pressure there and elsewhere. but what is the network like inside of libya? >> well for quite some time isis did control the town of sirte on the mediterranean coast pch but
11:32 pm
they have been driven out. they don't necessarily control large amounts of territory. but they do have a presence. they've lost their sort of foothold on the mediterranean. but that doesn't mean they don't have presence elsewhere in the country. keeping in mind of course that libya is a vast country with a relatively small population. it is sort of a cautionary tale what has happened with isis in libya for places like iraq and syria wherive we've seen them lose much of the territory they control but in a sense they've been dispersed. and it's very hard to track individuals as opposed to monitor control or reconquer area that is they were in control of in the past. and for instance, salman abedi, the young man, the 22-year-old believed to be behind the manchester bombing, he was in libya.
11:33 pm
then we understand he transited through turkey as well as dusseldorf airport in germany. u.s. officials say perhaps he received training from isis in syria itself. although we don't have any clear indication that he actually ever went there. but certainly if indeed he did spend several weeks in libya in the weeks before the bombing in manchester, he may well have received training from elements or individuals affiliated with isis. we did see some information that, for instance, he was in contact with his mother just hours before the bombing took place. so he clearly -- this is an individual who had some sort of contacts perhaps with isis. but given the very chaotic situation in libya it's very difficult to be able to trace these things, keeping in mind of course that in triply, the
11:34 pm
libyan capital only one western country maintains an embassies there and that is italy. it's sort of terra ig could go neat oi when it comes to trying to follow up leads in this case. >> absolutely ben in italy, covering the g 7 summit in cicily thanks very much n libya a company country with a weak central government. terrorist groups. present certainly in remote parts of the country though they were driven out from sirte. this leaves opportunity for a lot of groups potentially to rewere you group, recad kalize individuals like salman abedi. his brother we're trying to piece together the puzzle how this particular person was supported, was financed. jonathan russell joins us from london studio. he is the executive director for
11:35 pm
quilliam global a thing tank on counterextremism. jonathan we sfoek a few days after the attack. we're now five days out. we're learning more about abedi. his brother was in a mill he traveled lieu istanbul, dusseldorf, a much more international plot than it appeared at first. >> absolutely because of the international networks that are currently leading in jihadist terrorism at the moment this shouldn't be a surprise to us. you know we've been saying since the beginning it's unlikely this was simply a lone wolf as some put it. what i suppose we should be aware of is as isis loses territory and men and money in iraq and syria, it's going to focus on its states abroad. focus on libya. also going to focus on sending people back to commit terrorism in the west. and it's going to focus on its virtual kal i fate, trying to
11:36 pm
promote ideology online and retail appeal even without territory. >> um-hum. and okay. so let's talk a little bit though about what investigators need to focus on now, because the inevitable questions as the city continues to grieve obviously for its dead and you know still continues thinking about those so badly injured. is why, if this was a plat that had transnational qualities, was this missed? did this go -- fly under the radar for so long? >> well, i think the first thing to note is that security services have a very tricky job with the sheer number of people of interest. nar reported to them. and they have to carry out some level of treeiage. i understand that abedi didn't
11:37 pm
reach the top level of tri age and the case wasn't reopened when and it was hard for people to take any intelligence they received about him seriously. perhaps we need to think about -- about that process. it's also clear that -- that if abedi has got the wider network not just through his family but also through others in a cell and we've seen various others have been arrested since the attack on monday night -- we should continue going beyond that. because it's only through the networks and through communication that people continue to become radicalized and plots can form. it's not just the travel element there. there are so many different complexities to this story. >> and what still motivates young 20 somethings born in the west or a western country to contrary out attacks like this? also another interesting aspect which is if the brother knew
11:38 pm
about the plan this would be the third case of a terrorist attack that we cover where there are two brothers as well involved. it seems like it can't just be a coincidence. >> in terms of motivation we know it's difficult for young migrants to this country to integrate and there would be elements of not feeling welcome in the new country. there will be some hangering after the politics he left behind the antigadaffi sentiment and the broader jihad jihadist elements back in libya process perhaps that inspired him. the connections he had growing up in libya. perhaps he retained those and. >> is my audio out? jonathan sorry to jump in this kid was born here going to a business school in manchester. he wasn't- what was the issue here? i guess i just don't understand
11:39 pm
in particular when you say difficult to integrate. >> yeah well we don't know absolutely the -- the personal experience of him but we dough know he dropped out of business school, indicative of some are the so of identity cries he was struggling. he has a history of criminality and drugs. and there is a certainly a strong element within the jihadist movement of trying to -- or pretending to provide redemption to those of that sort of background. so there is various different motivations. it's very different in different individual cases. but i'm going to pick up on the brother point because i think that's interesting. perhaps just like the son i have brothers or the brothers committing prefer attacks it's very tricky for security services to intercept plots when they rundy diads and when there is the family connection. there is no quick fix to that. if it's conducted and planned and communicated in the private home and if it looks like normal
11:40 pm
communication between brothers, then that's very, very difficult to intercept. that's why you'd hope the mother might have come forward our the neighbors or people that noticed something odd with abedi at university would have come forward. and naes got to be the solution to this. >> yeah, jonathan russell thanks very much. of the quilliam foundation. we appreciate it good point difficult to monitor. communications between brothers, brothers after all communicate every day. nothing unusual about that. adds one layer of complexity we appreciate your time this morning. coming up the teenagers who survived the manchester attack. get a special visitor. their meeting with the queen is next. and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you

11:45 pm
we should point out you're not the only reporter and cnn is not the only organization which has been on the receiving end from of pretty hostile comment today. >> there have been a number of of reporters we've spoken all amongst ourselves. they've heard the same sort of sentiment. what's interesting about the state of montana is that this is a state generally where people value being quite civil one-on-one. but when you have a camera when you have a microphone, there is a sudden turn like you try to talk to someone and a lot of reporters have sensed it. cnn has felt the brunt of it because the president of the united states has been talking about cnn as being fake news. we heard that phrase again and again. and we we heard some of the comments ip had to stop and ask my producer did i just hear that? because it's stunning to hear that when you're just trying to get a sense of voter engagement whether or not they felt that this audio was going to affect their vote. trying to gather opinions it's
11:46 pm
