Im harry smith, along with dylan dreyer and sheinelle jones. Good morning. How you doing . How is everybody . Like this . Totally planned it. Didnt you do it last weekend, too . We did. It was the opposite. I had on the red. We were in the mood. Snl, i watched the first half hour. Im never going to make it especially if youre on this shift make it to the end of the show. Look at this. Sir Paul Mccartney. Just popped out. No announcement. Hey, ill join in on that one. So much fun. Well talk more about that. For sure. Lets get to the top story. That bomb, or suspected bomb, on an air France Flight overnight. London with more. Good morning. Air france says the bomb squad investigators are still working to confirm whether this device found in an airplane bathroom actually contained explosives. A tenkenyan official says six passengers are being questioned in connection with this threat. The air france 777 was flying from the Holiday Island to paris overnight, when the device was found. The pilots requested an Emergency Landing in kenya, and the flight was diverted. The emergency slides were used to evacuate more than 400 passengers and crew on to the tarmac. The passengers and crew were bused to local hotels. Some questioned by the kenyans. One passenger said everyone was calm during all of this. People on board, he said, thought it was a technical problem. The plane just went down, slowly, slow i,ly, slowly, so realized something was probably problem. Which was wonderful, kept everybody calm and quiet. We didnt know what was happening, actually. This, of course, comes after the downing of the russian passenger jet full of tourists over egypt october 31st. Moscow said a bomb brought that plane down. Islamic state claimed responsibility. This is the fourth air France Flight to be diverted now in a little over a month. Harry and erica, the other three cases all turned out to be hoaxes. Kelly koeb yab ya cobiella, thank you so much. The democratic debate was last night. We have full coverage this morning. We begin with Nbcs Kristen Welker covering the democrats in New Hampshire. Good morning. Good morning to you. It was a night largely dominated by Foreign Policy and the fight against isis, but the controversy over the Sanders Campaign accessing the clinton we learned late last night in addition to firing one staffer, the campaign now suspended two more. I apologize. Reporter eager to put the data breech issue to rest, Bernie Sanders quickly apologized. Not only not only do i apologize to secretary clinton, i want to apologize to my supporters. Reporter clinton agreeing, it was time to move oonn. I dont think the American People are all that interested in this. Reporter the debate pivoted to an issue many voters are interested in. Foreign pl siolicy. With clinton slamming trumps rhetoric. He is becoming isis best recruiter. They are going to people, showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. Reporter but clinton came under fire for sounding an optimistic note on isis. Need to be need to be. Reporter republicans pounced. Jeb bush said, were not where we need to do. Secretary clinton is too much into regime change and a little bit too aggressive without knowing what the unintended consequences might be. Reporter sanders and clinton clashing at almost every turn. Should Hillary Clinton . Everybody should. Will Corporate America love a president sanders . No, i think they wont. Reporter there were heated moments. Martin omalley hitting his opponents on guns. The flipflopping, political approach of washington, we need common sense. Lets calm down, martin. Lets tell the truth, martin. Reporter and some levity. Clinton, at one point, a few seconds latde, after a commercial break. Sorry. Reporter the Democratic Front runner surging in the polls, showing swagger with a memorable closing like. The force be with you. Secretary clinton went into the debate with a 31 point lead nationally over Bernie Sanders. By all accounts, there was no major shakeup last night. Kristen, thank you. To the republicans now. Another big day of campaigning today for the president ial candidates. On saturday, jeb bush had his harshest words yet for donald trump. Nbcs casey hunt kascassie hunt . Its kas iie hunt. My teachers have been screwing it up, harry. Dont worry. The republicans kept it up on the campaign trail this weekend. Donald trump bringing his family out here to iowa, but not letting up on his attacks, just reporter tis the season for family and good cheer. Merry christmas, right . Reporter in iowa yesterday, donald trump offering praise for vladimir putin, who called trump brilliant and talented. Actually, i am brilliant. Reporter trump didnt have kind words for some of his republican rivals. Bush, no, its just sad. Hes tough, right, hes tough. Reporter jeb bush in New Hampshire returning the favor. I have to get this off my chest. Donald trump is a jerk. Reporter the rest of the republican field keeping in that same holiday spirit. Chris christie taking marco rubio to task for missing another big vote. This time, on the bill that funds the government. Senator rubio, listen, if youre going to say youre opposed to something, how about showing up to work and voting no . Right . Thats the minimum you should have to do. Reporter rubio in south carolina, again, defended his absence. And, unfortunately, that means that sometimes, i wont be able to get there in time to vote on things. Reporter even with all that feuding, the candidates still found a way to remind voters of whats really important. Especially this time of year. Thank you for supporting my grandpa, and thank you for being here on this beautiful day. Have a very good christmas. The crowd loved trumps granddaughter, but dont expect this to be the last word before the holiday. Chris christie is still on the trail this weekend, and donald trump campaigns in michigan on monday. Harry . Thank you so much. Chuck today is moderator of meet the press and joins us this morning. Good morning to you. Good morning. Last night, we heard a little bit of this in kristens piece. Who comments that stood out that Hillary Clinton made about isis, this one talking about video of Donald Trumps speaking being used and, also, were getting how much can those two comments haunt her moving forward . The first is, theres no proof of this yet. There have been plenty of security folks that have warned. There have been plenty of intelligence officials that have been concerned that Donald Trumps comments, that Donald Trumps proposal, would be used as propaganda. But the propaganda doesnt exist yet. Its not there. Theres no so she said it so declaratively. Its just not true. Heres something that could have been an effective hit on him if shed used the words could be, and she didnt. It leads to the idea shes being untruthful or going over the top. I think what shes basically saying is, i support president obamas strategy on isis. What hes doing now is the strategy i support. Okay. Guess what . President obamas job Approval Rating on Foreign Policy is about the same place right now as george w. Bushs was in the public rejected george w. Bush, largely because of the Foreign Policy. That has to be something shes concerned about. If shes attached to the hip on president obama with National Security and people dont like where were going, its a problem. Chuck, last night during the debate, Bernie Sanders is behind nationally to clinton. Has a tiny lead in New Hampshire. Was there a moment last night that was a bernie moment . Hell get traction, hes off like a rocket ship . I didnt see it. Look, it goes back to the issue we were just talking about. Bernie sanders problem now is this is turning into a National Security election. Yes, the jobs and the economy are still number one but, boy, National Security is a close number two. That is in Hillary Clintons wheel house. She has been hugging him on domestic policy, not going as far to the left as Bernie Sanders proposed, but not trying to create as little space as possible. The antiwall street rhetoric, but because of the National Security change, i didnt see it. Jeb bush said donald trump was a jerk. Fought with him during the debate earlier this week. Is there any oxygen in jeb bushs campaign . Look, i think this is the last best hope he has. If i were him, id be doing this, too. Getting in fights with donald trump hasnt been good for other candidates, but you know, i think theres an odd bit of freedom. What did Janice Joplin once again . Freedom is when you have nothing left to lose. Cue a little janice. Harry, we have lost the audience now. He has nothing left to lose. Theyll be watching you in a little while. Appreciate it.

Im driving home from work and i hear the bells. Reporter it got rebecca to thinking. I realized there are these wonderful bell installations all over town, and some were silent. They needed repaired.

Are there a lot of churches in town where the bells just werent ringing anymore . Absolutely. St. Marks cathedral. Their bells were installed in 1998 and 2000, beautiful bells, but they were dormant. Reporter until this fall when the bells began ringing again. [ applause ] for centuries, bells were the heralds of society. They announced the time of day and entertained with song. Reporter rebecca hopes that one day, all the bells in the city can ring in unison. To mark special holidays and days of remembrance. Its the wonderful tone and then the pause. The reminder that we are part of a community, that we are in this together. Reporter up in the tower the biggest one. It weighs as much as a toyota rav 5. Reporter we were shown how it is played. Youre hired. Cast in france, ringing out sounds of the season. Sounds for all to hear. They reach out and touch us deep in our heart. Its like god is saying, i am with you. You are not alone. Beautiful. It was neat to go up there, right . So cool to be up there. Theres something about the sound. All these churches now around the minneapolis area saying, were going to get our bells fixed. Well get them going again. Was it loud up there, close to the bells . Oh, yes what . Whatd you say . I used to hear in this ear. We were talking earlier about our favorite christmas songs.
