Megamovie star. Nightly news begins right now. Movie star. Nightly news begins right now. Good evening. We learn more today about whats behind those surprise restrictions on passenger electronics on some airline flights. As a major u. S. Ally impose its on tighter rules today. American Security Officials are temporarily banning passengers from bringing devices larger than a smartphone in the cabins of planes traveling to the u. S. And parts of middle east and africa. We learn today its not in response to a specific threat but is based on some recent intelligence. How concerned should the traveling public be . Miguel almaguer has details. Reporter the new security measure affects some 50 u. S. Bound flights each day and in most carry on Electronic Devices after elevated intelligence indicating terror groups continue to target planes, smuggling explosive devices in various consumer items. The ban involves ten airlines in mostly muslim countries in the middle east and africa with direct flights to the u. S. Nine overseas airlines will no longer allow passengers to carry on devices larger than a smartphone, laptops, tablets and cameras will now need to be checked. You almost never see warning this specific about specific airlines, specific cities and specific devices. It means, to me, the intelligence is very detailed and very concrete. Reporter u. S. Counterterrorism Officials Say new intelligence but not a specific threat is the reason for the change. Airlines given four days to implement the new rules. The four days is not enough for the bad guys to really develop and build devices. Its enough time for the local authorities and for the airlines to get organized. Reporter u. S. Officials point to past attempts to hide explosives in shoes, upside we underwear and a laptop. Today the uk followed suit announcing a similar ban. For some passengers a major inconvenience. If they dont have it, theyll go wild in the flight especially 13 hour flight. Reporter tonight new security measures are taking flight changing how some fly into the u. S. To keep the homeland safe. Tonight there is no indication how long this temporary ban will remain into effect like countries like canada decide if they will impose these new restrictions. As for safety concerns, experts say all these electronics, many of them with lithium ion batteries being checked into the cargo hold pose no significant threat in the belly of the aircraft. Lester. Thank you. One of president trumps Major Campaign promises is in major trouble. The gops repeal and replace of obamacare, something they vowed to do for years, is facing stiff internal resistance inspite a personal appeal from the president. With two days until the vote, republicans are still short of the vote needed for passage. Hallie jackson has details. Reporter the art of this deal is more about the math and tonight it doesnt add up for the president as much as he might want it to. We had a great meeting. I think it will get a winner vote. Reporter even after he and his team stormed capitol hill, our Analysis Shows 27 House Republicans oppose it or lean no. At least six of them would have to flip otherwise the bill will fail. A quick death for something republicans spent seven years promising to do. Thursday is our chance to end obamacare. Reporter thats why with just 48 hours left, the president s working the room with a warning. Not backing the bill could infuriate voters costing lawmakers their jobs. Is that an implied threat . I think its a political reality. Reporter republican congressman mark meadows understands the risk of rejecting it. Its a temporary job. Ive known that from day one. Reporter leaders scramble to make changes overnight. In kentucky, a state donald trump won easily, aaron louis relies on medicaid. Theres people like me who work fulltime. We work hard but cant afford insurance. This Program Covers us. Reporter it gives help to seniors but thats not guaranteed. If the bill passes, a critical victory for a president who wants to win. If not, a stinging slap that could cripple his agenda. President trump was here to do what he does best and that is to close the deal. Hes all in and we are all in to end this obamacare nightmare. Reporter the president will need every tool he has to pass his biggest political test in this administration so far. The strategy for now, a mix of sweet talk and tough talk to try to prove he can be the negotiator in chief, with unwith a long memory and a lot on the line. Lester. Thank you. On this very busy day there in washington, the president s nominee for the Supreme Court, neil gorsuch came under intense questioning at his con ffirmation hearing and hes proving tough for democrats to rattle. Our justice correspondent Pete Williams has details on that. Reporter judge neil gorsuch said he never promised trump or anyone else involved in selecting him that he would vote a certain way on the hot button issue of abortion even though donald trump made overturning the ruling a point in his campaign. Im prolife. I will be appointing prolife judges. Reporter he met mr. Trump when interviewed for the job. Did he ever ask you to overrule roe v wade. What would you have done . I would have walked out the door. Republican congressman recently said the best thing the president can do for his muslim ban is to make sure he has gorsuch on the Supreme Court. A lot of people say a lot of silly things. He has no idea how id rule. Reporter though the questions were pointed, even the democrats find it hard to dislike neil gor sump personally who remained unruffled and confidence. Neil gorsuch represents a conser conservati conservative. Represents the type of judge who has the vision of donald trump. What do you think mr. Priebus was talking about . He doesnt speak for me and i dont speak for him. Im a judge. Im my own man. Reporter as tonight to comment on president trumps criticism of federal judges, gorsuch said he finds it disheartening and demoralizing when anyone attacks the honesty and integrity of judges including the president he was asked and he said anyone is anyone. Lester. Thank you, pete. Turning to new shock waves from fbi director james comeys bombshells before congress after he revealed the fbi is investigating links between Trump Associates and russia. And said the president has no information supporting the president s wiretap claims. Theres fresh fears inside the gop it could overshadow their agenda. Peter alexander with that story. Reporter after the fbis dramatic disclosure, tonight the fall out. President trump ignoring pointed questions on capitol hill. Youre under an fbi investigation. Reporter even republicans acknowledge the damage that the investigation into the Trump Campaign possible ties to russia, and unfounded tweets about wiretaps could side track the president s agenda. He has a strong case to make but selfinflicted wounds get in the way of republicans trying to do their job. Reporter skeptical republicans could back away from the president as hes trying to secure his first legislative win on health care and overshadow the potential confirmation of his Supreme Court pick. Theres sump suspicion on the part of republicans this opens to widespread criticism of the president on other issues. Reporter the president s credibility now in question. The irony while republicans blasted heen Hillary Clinton as the fbi revealed emails we know trump was the subject of counterintelligence. Theres a distinction between investigation and this continued narrative that falsely tries to link the trump, the president or the white house into any of it. Reporter as the president revels in enthusiastic crowds. This place is packed. Reporter across the country a political divide. I dont trust what hi says about russia. I have guarded optimism. Im a republican. Reporter a new test for the president s credibility now in question. Peter alexander, nbc news, the white house. We turn to a chilling new threat of possible u. S.

The military alliance created to defend the west against russia. A snub nato secretary general is sidestepping diplomatically but experts say will be most welcome by vladmir putin. Do you want your first trip to europe to be moscow and not to the Nato Alliance . I think thats a bad message. Reporter tillerson was playing damage control for president trump. He has insulted natos most important allies. Germanys Angela Merkel on friday and the british for wiretapping trump tower and now this. Theres no substitute to going to brussels to having all the ministers around the table because its the most powerful and considered the others to be the leader of the group. Reporter tillerson meets here tomorrow with mnato ministers on a u. S. Strategy against isis. Thats not likely to take away the sting that european leaders fell from the snub they see against a historic western alliance. Lester. Thank you.
