there. a major escalation in a tense conflict. we're live at the pentagon. 123 those stories plus dangerous weather for people coast-to-coast. 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. london's mayor is calling this a horrific terrorist attack. 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. this one was different, because it seems that a group of religious worshipers was targeted. minutes after another deadly terror attacks and the injured are treated where they fell. rammed by a van at high speed. >> basically drove on the pavement, coming straight towards all of the muslims. as he's coming to them, he hit all of them. >> women and men on the floor. people bleeding. there was screaming. you know, total anarchy. >> reporter: the attacker app r appeaappea appears to have targeted people leaving prayers at a mosque. he crashed his van and tried to escape but was caught by the crowd. >> we got him out of the car. before we got out of the car, he was fighting with us, spitting on us. and he bites. >> reporter: some witnesses say he was shouting threats 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. >> reporter: one man died at the scene. police aren't sure this was the result of an attack. they are examining the van. >> this is being treated as a terror attack. >> reporter: another deliberate horror. the mayor trying to reassure londoners. >> there will be a police presence out and around places of worship. >> reporter: muslims who played 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. the momentum of the attacks is growing. there's a danger of tit for tat attacks over, retaliation. london this morning very much on-edge. >> bill neely starting us off. we want to turn to juan s surra surratty. 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 were 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-radicalization on both sides that can escalate the vie len lens. the use of vans and terrorize individuals. the ideology doesn't matter. 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 london. there's people wondering what do you do to protect against a low-tech attacks when 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, barriers. and restricting areas where you have 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 hard to stop if you have someone motivated to kill innocents. >> juan, thanks for your perspective. new questions about the deadly collision between a u.s. navy destroyer and a container ship off 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 "u s ss fitzgerald" is badl damaged and listing. >> the 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 virginia. and carlos victor sabayan from chula vista, california. his father, a 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 three times its size are the source of investigations. marine traffic records show the cargo ship made a series of course changes and a u-turn before heading towards tokyo. the "fitzgerald's" captain 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 members say they will cooperate fully. now, the focus is on the families of the seven sailors. >> 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, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. it's the sequencecy that's among the troubling aspects of it. the syrian pro regime forces were warned not once, but twice. this is after u.s. partner forces, the sdf, our allies there, came under attack. they used the deconfliction line to say stop firing on our forces. after that warning to the russian s who are in contact wih many of the pro-regime forces, that's when there was a jet from the syrians sent up almost needily. an f-18 from the u.s. side shot that jet town. this isn't the first time we've been having tension between the pro-p pro-regime side and u.s. forces. earlier this month they shot down a drone, the u.s. side. a quick statement for you indicating how serious this is. this is from cent-com 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. >> anz hans at the pentagon. appreciate it. there's more coming up this week. president trump hosts the president of panama. they incluwill discuss many ite. and the tech ceos for the administrations american technology counsel. the heads of amazon, apple and microsoft plan to attend. 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. the white house will 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. >> reporter: 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 another week on defense, after returning from his first visit to camp david sunday. the weekend getaway didn't testifier 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. this as mr. trump's outside counsel 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 schiimple. 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 says the tweet has 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. >> 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 -- i just gave you the legal theory of how the constitution works. >> reporter: democrats pouncing, including the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. >> they're essentially engaging in a skorj earth litigation strategy. >> 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 the i don't think it serves him well. >> the president is fired up about this. 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 news outlets, 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 referend referendum of the president himself. gabe gutierrez is in roswell, north of atlanta. >> reporter: the gop has dominated the district outside of atlanta for decades the 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. 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 34 years old, a former 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 dictating who our next congressman is going to be. >> reporter: i'd also like to congr congratulate karen handel on her incredible fight in georgia sixth. >> reporter: the fight for price's seat is getting ugly. this stunning ad, trying to capitalize on the congressional shooting at a baseball practice. >> now, the unhinged left is applauding shooting republicans. when will it stop? >> reporter: both candidates have strongly denounced the ad. ossoff's campaign calling it shameful. handel's office saying it'sti i disturbing and disgusting. the election is tomorrow. but a surge of early voting. one the entire political world will be watching. >> as you said, unprecedented amount of cash being thrown around in georgia, as well. gabe, thanks so much. overseas and the massive wildfires in central portugal where the

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
