But his words about muslims haunted him back home today. A federal Appeals Court voted 103 to block his partial ban on travel to the u. S. By citizens of six mostly muslim nations. The reason, according to the chief judge, bigotry. Jeff pegues is following this. Reporter the president s executive order would have temporarily suspended visas from iran, libya, somalia, sudan, syria and yemen. The decision from the Fourth Circuit court of appeals keeps it from going into fek, writing for the majority, chief judge Roger Gregory wrote, mr. Trumps order speaks with vague words of national security. But in context drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination. The travel ban was a cornerstone of President Trumps campaign. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. Reporter shortly after taking office the president signed a First Executive order that was also blocked by the courts. This version which dropped any overt references to religion was supposed to stand up to judicial scrutiny. The administration has said the threat of terrorism justifies the ban. The desenting judges agreed. The real losers in this case are the millions of individual americans whose security is threatened on a daily basis by those who seek to do us harm. Earlier today secretary of Homeland Security john kelly warned congress that he was worried about isis fighters traveling to europe and the u. S. Theyre not going home to live normal lives. In fact, theyre being encouraged to not be killed in the caliphate fight, go back to where you came from and just create manchestertype fights.

Reporter for a town and a country in shock, the response was togetherness and silence. Not just manchester, britain stood still in remembrance this morning. And for the suffering, a surprise hospital visit from the queen. You came to the concert. Yeah. The nations 91 year old grandmother here to make 14 year old efi mills and everyone else feel better and saying what everyone felt. Horrific.

Police are still searching for the wicked, more raids, more arrests, and a picture emerging, says police chief ian hopkins of the Terror Network they fear is behind the bombing. I want to reassure people that the arrests that we have made are significant. Reporter more is emerging about the bomber, salman abedi. Police think he stayed in this Apartment Building in the days before the attack after he had come back from libya, perhaps with instructions from isis. But they are furious that critical information they wanted to keep secret for as long as they could, including the bombers identity and the nature of the bombs construction gleened from pieces of it found from after the blast have been leaked to u. S. News outlets including to cbs news after it was shared with u. S. Security officials. Manchester mayor andy burnham.

Reporter Prime Minister theresa may promised to confront President Trump with her countrys outrage when she met himain brussels. Intelligence that is shared between Law Enforcement agencies must remain secure. Thank you.

Major garrett covered the summit. Reporter President Trump responded to the british Prime Minister by calling the Intelligence Leaks deeply troubling. He said these leaks have been going on for a long time, and promised a full Justice Department investigation. At a ceremony with nato leaders including Prime Minister may, the president observed a moment of silence for the victims of the manchester terror attack. All people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing and removing these killers and extremists. And yes, losers. Reporter while terrorism has taken center stage at the summit, confronting russia is also a dominant theme. But the 28 Nation Alliance originally formed as a counterweight to the soviet influence is showing cracks. European Council President donald tusk. I am not 100 sure that we can say today, we meaning mr. President and myself, that we have a common position, common opinion about russia. Reporter during the Campaign Candidate trump routinely questioned natos usefulness. I said heres the problem with nato. Its obsolete. Reporter he has since backed off that claim but today he made clear the u. S. Is natos top dog, through his actions and his words, mr. Trump lectured his nato colleagues on their need to contribute more. This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. Reporter only five nato members spend two percent of their Gross Domestic Product on defense. The nato standard. Just three more countries have promised to meet that mark next year. With these chronic underpayments, and growing threats, even two percent of gdp is insufficient. Reporter the president did not publicly commit to natos core mission defending any Member Nation attacked. Scott, senior officials flying with the president from brussels to italy here nor g7 meetings echo secretary of state tillerson who said yesterday the u. S. Will fulfill all nato obligations. Pelley our chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett traveling with the president , now in sicily, thank you, major.

Reporter Guardian Newspaper reporter ben jacobs said the encounter with republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte started like this. Are you waiting to make your decision about health care until you saw the bill and it just came out. I will talk to you about that later. Reporter but it ended like this. Im sick and tired of you guys, the last guy that came here, did you the same thing. Get the hell out of here. You just body slammed me and broke my glasses. Reporter a Campaign Spokesman said it was the reporter who grabbed gianfortes wrist, calling it in a statement aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist. But alecia acuna a reporter from the unusually conservative fox news was an eye witness. When gianforte grabbed him by the neck, both hands, slid him to the side, body slamed him and then got on top of him and started punching and then yelling at him. Reporter Republican House speaker paul ryne did not endorse the candidates actions. That is wrong and it should not have happened. I think he should apologize. Reporter gianforte has disappeared. He was last seen driving away from the incident and cancelled all appearances today. As for voters, Elizabeth Green said a congressional candidate should act the way she teaches her son 1578. Like i tell my son, it is important to keep your hands to yourself. And to use your words. And if candidate for congress cant do that, then definitely doesnt deserve to have that position. Reporter doug steiner voted for gianforte. The incident did not change his mind. No. Why not . Because i have heard too many versions of it and im not sure what happened, no offense, but i dont trust the media much. Reporter if convicted, gianforte faces a 500 fine or six months in jail, or both. So far no republican has called for him to withdrawal draw from the race or if nn scricted, scott, to in the take the seat. Pelley the trust worthy Barry Petersen in montana tonight. Thank you, barry. Tonight the u. S. Senate has completed its investigation of the Wounded Warrior project. The senate probe began after a series of reports on the cbs evening news questioned how much of the donations were actually going to wounded vets. Chip reid has this. Reporter last year we met erik millette one of dozens of former employees who shared with cbs news concerns about the charitys spending and programs for veterans. Theyre using our injuries, our darkest days, our hardships to make money. So you can have these big parties . Reporter senator Chuck Grassley led an inquirery into the allegations. You want to make sure that people that contribute money, that its used for what it was meant to be used for. Reporter the charity had said it spent 80 cents of each donor dollar on programs for veterans but grassley says that included donated media, advertisements and educational fundraising solicitations to reach that number. And grassleys nearly 500 page report to the Senate Judiciary and finance Committee Found Wounded Warrior project was spending only about 68 of donor dollars on 3r578s for veterans. It also found the charity lacked sufficient policies and procedures to manage the organization, mislead donors about more than 65 Million Dollars placed in a longterm trust that had not yet been spent on veterans, and spent excessive amounts of money on travel, as well as on fundraising and staff events. C. E. O. Steven nardisi was fired last area along with nearly the entire executive suite of the charity. I think its going to help in the long run to deliver exactly what the program ought to do for veterans. Reporter in a statement Wounded Warrior project said it follows accounting rules and irs requirements and has quote made significant changes to insure that we are focused on running the most efficient, Effective Organization possible. Scott, it also says it updated its travel and expense policies and adjusted its programs and services to focus on Mental Health and longterm support. Pelley chip reid, thanks.

Military was on its way out, handing Afghanistan Security over to the afghans. U. S. Troop strength which had peaked at 98,000 in 20 210 plummeted to 8,400. But now the pentagon wants to reverse that. It asked to add 3 to 5,000 more personnel. And for authorizization to send u. S. Forces closer to the front lines, to back up Afghan Soldiers who are often overwhelmed by the taliban and dying in the thousands. Here in brussels the u. S.
