the government and the people of france need to respond. we re going to do whatever it takes to work with the french people and with nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people. joining me now from the white house is nbc news correspondent kelly o donnell. kelly, we re hearing word the president s going to convene a meeting of some of his top advisers today. what more do you know? we expect he will bring together his national security council, the group that s able to help present the president the latest intelligence on the issues that pertain to isis and what s going on in france. was there any information the u.s. can offer to france that would be helpful at this time. basically bringing the minds together. this was not scheduled. so this was planned at the last minute in response to these attacks. we have seen the white house chief of staff dennis mcdonough
officials and they were furious that they were hearing from the counter parts in the uk and u.s. and then ex unemployment compensation and then a terrorist attack. you have to remember that that hits the tourism industry and then the fact that they have pulled fights as well and then the german carrier decided not to go away with the fights as well with. some serious serious issues from the e gyp khans, and then moving on today we re hearing word that there maybe further evidence in the airport. they re looking for any clues that they can find to see what caused the crash and they re using bomb sniffing dogs and looking at the ground and looking at the crash site and it s supposed to be finished at 10:00 p.m. local time today. as far as we know still waiting for that evidence from the black boxes. and hadley what about the
charges against the officers. he also rejected their request to remove maryland state s attorney marilyn mosby from the case. 25-year-old gray died of spinal injury while in police custody. some 12,000 troops marching through the center of beijing today. we re hearing word that china is cutting 300,000 soldiers from its military. i ll be right back.
whole but others are saying you know what? many ways these comments were a bridge too far and they re taking away the attention and energy from the other candidates. one thing i will say, alex this is ted cruz s crowd. if ted cruz is going to have a hope of winning the early primary and caucus state, it s voters like this who will be supporting him. they re also the ones donald trump is taking away from ted cruz and if anyone has lost oxygen in this summer of trump. it s really been cruz. he s been on the stage for the last half hour getting standing ovation after standing ovation after standing ovation. so in some ways banning frump this gathering, while obviously it s a direct reaction from his comments. it gives ted cruz a more of an elevated stage than he would have, alex. i m sure you just heard the applause right there. we heard it cloud and clear for your microphone. i m curious if you re hearing word from the other camps, their
party that absolutely cannot stand donald trump as well and so this we are far from here is the problem, ben close to being the nomination i have to leave it there. thanks to both of you. i appreciate it. we are watching other news this morning. the showdown on capitol hill over the iran nuclear deal. right now the house foreign affairs committee is holding their first hearing on the deal. secretary of state john kerry will testify at today s meeting. also making an april peer reince will be the secretaries of energy and the treasury. we re monitoring the hearing. if anything develops we ll bring it to you. minutes from now joyce mitchell the new york prison worker accused of helping two killers bust out of prison will be back in court. the big question will she cut a deal? mitchell faces up to eight years behind bars in she is convicted. jason carroll is here and he s following the hearing today. he has more. reporter: good morning. it could happen any moment now
