there. a major escalation in an already tense conflict. we're live at the pentagon. those stories plus dangerous weather for people coast-to-coast. acinderella story at the u.s. open. >> a change at the u.s. open. and the twins have arrived. will we hear from pop star beyonce today? monday, june 19th, 2017. >> from nbc news, this is "today," with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everybody. welcome to "today." so glad to have you with us on a monday morning. we have willie in for matt this morning. >> we have a lot happening in your world right now. >> that's right. we're going to start with the breaking news out of london. a van slamming into people outside a mosque. the city's mayor calling this a horrific terrorist attack. we've got complete coverage this morning. let's start with bill neely at the scene for us. bill, good morning. what happened? >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this is britain's fourth terror attack in as many months and the third in london, in which a vehicle was used as a weapon. but this one was different because it seems that a group of religious worshippers was targeted. minutes after another deadly terror attack and the injured were treated where they fell, rammed by a van at high speed. >> people bleeding there was streaming. pure anarchy. >> reporter: the attacker appears to have targeted people leaving prayers at a mosque. he crashed his van and tried to escape but was caught by the crowd. some saying he was shouting at muslims. >> he said, i did it and i want to kill some muslims. >> reporter: those he tried to kill handed him over to police. >> he was led away to the police van. and he stuck out his hand to gesture to mock people. >> isis driving trucks and vans into people. now, we know there are other terrorists. >> reporter: one man died at the scene. police aren't sure this was the result of an attack. they are now examining the van. >> no matter what the motivation, this is being treated as a terror attack. >> it is a reminder that terrorism, extremism and hatred take many forms. and our determination to tackle them must be the same whomever is responsible. >> reporter: britain's theresa may. muslims who pray ed for the victims had just prayed in the mosque for dead of last week's fire. this one, deliberate terrorism. people here are angry and scared. because the momentum of these attacks is growing and there is a danger of tit for tat, retallation. london this morning very much on-edge. >> bill neely starting us off. we want to turn to juan zarate. cy senior national security analyst with nbc news. good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> let me pick up where bill left off. that's the biggest concern comes out of this. you have someone who appears was targeting muslims. you have to worry about the cycle of violence going on. >> absolutely right. i think authorities for some time have been worried there would be a cycle of violence in europe. and then, potentially far right wing or extremist attacks or from the other side. european authorities have been worried about that. a self-reinforcing radicalization on both sides that can escalate the violence. and what you have here is a demonstration of the use of vans, the ability to terrorize individuals. and the ideology doesn't matter here. it's terror. and authorities have to worry about the escalation of violence. >> this is the third time in as many months that we've come on and talked about a van attack in the city of london. there are people in europe, but also here in the united states wondering what do you do to protect against these low-tech attack where is all you have is a man with a van? >> this is difficult to stop in an open society where you have foot traffic and vehicle traffic. you have to create layers of security around events, where people are congregating, potentially barriers and even just restricting areas where you've got lots of pedestrians, just to walkways. but it's a difficult thing to stop, especially in congested areas, as in london, as in new york. it's just hard to stop if you have somebody motivated to kill fellow citizens and innocents. >> juan, thanks for your perspective. there are new questions this morning about the deadly collision between a u.s. naefl destroy navy destroyer and a container ship off of japan. this is as the seven sailors who were killed have been identified. janis mackey frayer has the latest for us. janis, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the "uss fitzgerald" took a huge hit. seven sailors dead, three injured, including the captain. and a lot of questions about how and why the collision happened. the "uss fitzgerald" is badly damaged and listing. its crew, in a tight navy community here mourning the seven sailors who didn't make it. >> they're loved ones are what make our navy great. the strength of my fleet are my people. this loss is something we all feel. >> reporter: today, we know their names. their faces. among them, 19-year-old dakota kyle rigsby from palmyra, virginia. and carlosvictor sabayan from chula vista, california. who was 23. his father, a retired navy man. his mother didn't worry about his son. >> he knows that whatever situation, i know he can get out of it. but this time, he wasn't given the chance. >> reporter: how an advanced warship with sophisticated equipment and a watch crew, could collide with a cargo ship more than three times its size is the focus of several investigations. there are conflicts reports about the time of the crash. and marine traffic records show the cargo ship called the "acs crystal" made a series of course changes and a u-turn before heading towards tokyo. the "fitzgerald's" captain bryce benson suffered a head injury and was airlifted from the destroyer. now, at a hospital, he is facing questions how a collision could happen in calm weather. repairs could take up to a year. the starboard side is gashed. the entire crew scrambled to keep the ship from sinking. but wouldn't save the seven lives that were lost. it's unclear how long the investigations will take. japan investigators have been aboard the cargo ship that was involved. and u.s. navy officials here say they will cooperate fully. but for now, their focus, of course is on the families of the seven sailors. willie, savannah, back to you. >> that's where our thoughts are, as well. janis, thank you so much. a lot more to get to. including a u.s. warplane shooting down a syrian jet. the first of the civil war there. hans nichols, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. it's really the sequencing that's among the troubling aspects of it. the syrian pro regime forces were warned not once, but twice. initially, it was a flyover as a sign of force. this is after u.s. partner forces, the sdf, our allies there, came under attack. they warned them with a flyover. and then they used the deconfliction line with the russians to say stop firing on our forces. after that warning to the russians who are in contact with many of the pro-regime forces, that's when there was a jet from the syrians sent up almost immediately. an f-18 from the u.s. side shot that jet down. this isn't the first time we've been having tension between the pro-regime side and u.s. forces. earlier this month they shot down a drone, the u.s. side. real quick statement for you indicating just how serious this is. this is from centcom down in florida. the coalition does not seek to fight syrian regime. russian or pro-regime forces partnered with them. but will not hesitate to protect forces from any threat. this is a complicated part of the world that just got more complicated. >> hans at the pentagon. thank you very much. appreciate it. there's more coming up this week. president trump hosts the leader of pap panama at the white house today. they will discuss organized crimes as well as illegal migration. and the tech ceos for the administrations american technology counsel. the heads of amazon, apple and microsoft among those expected to attend. president trump's son-in-law and senior white house adviser jared kushner travels to the middle east on wednesday. he is expected to meet with israeli and palestinian leaders as a follow-up to the president's visit last month. and friday is the deadline set by the white house intelligence committee for the white house to confirm whether or not the president has records of his private conversations with fired fbi director james comey. a lot to get to. let's start with white house correspondent kristen welker. >> hi, savannah, good morning to you. president trump will try to put the focus on his agenda today. holding that event with ceos on american innovation. as the russia probe advances, he and his team are increasingly lashing out and sending mixed messages. president trump, starting yet another week on defense, after turning from his first visit to camp david sunday. the weekend getaway didn't temper the president's anger over the expanding russia investigation. the president taking to twitter on sunday to again blast the probe as a witch hunt and touting his agenda. many new jobs, high business enthusiasm. this as mr. trump's outside counsel jay sekulow repeatedly insisted the president is not under investigation for possible obstruction of justice on the sunday shows. >> let me be very clear here as it has been since the beginning. the president is not under investigation. it's that simple. the president is not and has not been under investigation. >> reporter: but the president seemed to acknowledge he is under investigation in a tweet last week. i am being investigated, he wrote. the president's attorney saying the tweet had been taken out of context. >> he's being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general and deputy attorney general recommended him to take by the agency who recommended the termination. so, that's the constitutional threshold question here. >> you just said, sir, he's being investigated. >> no, chris. i said that the -- let me be crystal clear so you completely understand. we have not received nor are we aware of any investigation of the president of the united states. >> you just said two times that he's being investigated. >> no. the context of the tweet -- i just gave you the legal theory, chris, of how the constitution works. >> reporter: democrats pouncing, including the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. >> they're essentially engaging in a scorched earth litigation strategy that's beginning with trying to discredit the prosecutor. >> reporter: it's making republicans jittery. even mr. trump's staunchest allies say his tweets has gone too far. >> trump has a compulsion to counterattack and is very pugnacious. i don't think it serves him well. i don't think that tweet helped him. >> the president is pretty fired up about this, okay? that said, that is not going to impede this work from continuing. >> reporter: as for whether the president is under investigation, "the washington post" and several news outlets including nbc news have confirmed special counsel robert mueller is looking into whether the president obstructed justice. the president's legal team that mr. trump has not been notified of any investigation. the white house also keeping a close eye on a special election being held tomorrow in georgia. it's the most expensive house race in united states history and viewed by some as a referendum on the president himself. nbc's gabe gutierrez is in roswell, just north of atlanta. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: the gop has dominated the district outside of atlanta for decades, it was newt gingrich's old seat. but donald trump barely squeaked out a victory over hillary clinton in monday. democrats see an open and the money has been pouring in. this morning, the final stretch of what's becoming the most expensive house race ever. $40 million and counting. is this special election in georgia a referendum on donald trump? >> this election, like all elections, is about local issues and local solutions before it's about national politics. >> reporter: but many democrats see jon ossoff's campaign as much more. he's 30 years old, a documentary filmmaker and congressional aide. who is polling neck and neck with karen handel for georgia's sixth district. >> disturbingly my opponent thinks that the answer to fighting terrorism is to send a film crew to the front line. >> reporter: the businesswoman and long-time georgia politician is blasting ossoff for his out-of-state donors. >> we don't need the people of california trying to dictate who our next congressman is going to be. >> reporter: president trump created the vacancy by picking congressman tom price for his cabinets. >> i'd also like to congratulate karen handel on her incredible fight in georgia sixth. >> reporter: the fight for price's seat is getting ugly. a political action committee just released a stunning new ad, trying to capitalize on last week's shooting at a republican baseball practice. >> now, the unhinged left is endorsing and applauding shooting republicans. when will it stop? it won't if jon ossoff wins on tuesday. >> reporter: both candidates have strongly denounced the ad. ossoff's campaign calling it shameful. handel's office saying it's disturbing and disgusting. president trump already tweet be about this race this morning writing, quote, the dems want to stop tax cuts good health care and border security. vote now for karen handel. willie and savannah. >> as you said, unprecedented amount of cash being thrown around in georgia, as well. gabe, thanks so much.

does it go from here? stephanie gosk covered the trial and is here this morning. >> neither bill cosby nor andrea constand can declare victory. the tv dad is keeping quiet after a mistrial was declared on saturday. each charge could have been punishable by ten years in prison. even though this trial didn't have the outcome either side would have preferred, the district attorney says the case isn't over. after a marathon 52 hours of deliberation, longer than the trial itself, jurors failed to reach a verdict. now, with the judge declaring a mistrial, the district attorney says he will put bill cosby on trial again. >> our plan is to move this case forward, as soon as possible. this was the right thing to do. >> reporter: outside the courthouse saturday, the 79-year-old comedy legend stayed sile silent, as a spokesperson read a statement from camille, lashing out at the d.a. >> how do i describe the district attorney? heinously and exploitively ambitio ambitious. how do i describe the judge? overtly arrogant and collaborating with the district attorney. >> reporter: for six days, jurors deliberated whether cosby drugged and assaulted constand in 2004. after failing to reach a verdict, constand's lawyer says, we are confident that these proceedings have given a voice to many victims who felt powerless and silenced. 50 women came forward to accuse cosby of misconduct. jill allison was in court to support constand. >> it's like sitting in class. and the teacher writes it out on the black board. and two plus two equals four. >> reporter: but for some on the jury, the fate of bill cosby did not seem that simple. the jurors have returned to their homes in the pittsburgh area, ordered by the judge not to discuss details of their deliberation. the next trial can start in 120 days. while dozens of women have come forward to accuse cosby, constand was the wasn't most recently enough to bring charges. >> they want to retry this case. >> that means a whole new jury. this one came from pittsburgh. the other one may come from somewhere else. and andrea constand has to come back. she testified for seven hours on the stand. it was grueling. and it could happen as early as this fall. the other option, the d.a. can say maybe i don't want to retry this case. but given the strength of his words in the last 24 hours, that's unlikely. and cosby has civil suits out there. he is facing four from ten accusers. while the criminal case is going on, they're effectively stuck because he's not allowed to be deposed while he's facing these charges. >> the d.a. might say, we won't go after the criminal case so the civil cases can go forward. >> thanks, steph. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> guys, this is the heat we were talking about. this is brutal and unprecedented. 33 million people affected. the long duration event. at night, the temperatures won't drop very much. it is going to be brutal. a big dome of high pressure is taking
