Its really the factor that affects travel, the christmas holiday. Amy. Yeah, unfortunately Mother Nature doesnt look like its cooperating this time. Thanks so much. Now to overseas and the global manhunt for a suspect in that deadly attack on the berlin Christmas Market. German authorities are searching for a 24yearold tunisian migrant on the loose and is considered armed and dangerous. Matt gutman has been covering the latest from berlin. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, theyve launched two raids overnight, one of them against the refugee camp trying to find the man suspected in that Christmas Market attack behind me but made no arrests meaning that that dragnet across europe is only intensifying. This morning, its the face seen across europe. German officials putting out this europewide apb, 24yearold assassins creed from tunisia. Hes known to use at least six ail yachts and have three different nationalities and warns hes under urgent suspicion and could be armed and dangerous. Police say hes suspected of hijacking the semi at this depot just a few miles from the Christmas Market. The original truck driver, a polish man found dead in the cab seen here in cctv footage hours before the attack. That truck loaded with 50,000 pounds of steel bull dozing through the market smashing stalls and crushing people. Leaving at least 11 dead. Inside that cab, officials made a shocking discovery, a wallet found with amris i. D. Inside. German officials saying he had been on their radar for months because of suspected ties to radicals which is why his asylum request was rejected. Authorities offering a more than 100,000 reward for information leading to amris capture saying he is a suspect but not necessarily the perpetrator of the monday attack. Isis is claiming responsibility for the carnage after sending out recent messages calling for supporters to use trucks to attack public gatherings. This morning after a breakneck effort to patch it up the Christmas Market is back open. The stalls here have been rebuilt. The crowds are back out. The only difference, these freshly cleaned pavings and the heightened security here. But germans still fearful. Is this a new normal for germany . I hope not. It might be. That two americans were among the wounded and this is only going to increase the outrage about how germany let this man out of their grasp. He had been under surveillance for months but for some reason that was called off in september. He was last mentioned in intelligence bulletins in november. Amy. In fact, matt, germany actually tried to deport this man this past summer but that didnt happen. Why . Reporter thats right. They tried to deport him back in june but they couldnt because he didnt have the right papers, so they allowed him to stay here in berlin and those papers finally allowing his deportation arrived yesterday. Amy. Oh, horrible timing there. Okay, matt gutman, thank you. We appreciate it. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas is in washington with more on the manhunt and the threat here at home. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, amy. German authorities clearly considered amri a suspected Islamic Radical before the attack and being told germans shared some of this Intelligence Security officials. Of particular interest whether he can be tied in any way to isis, theres an urgent investigation under way in germany to determine if he was part of a cell or if he has a support network helping him hide right now. This is a tense moment for Law Enforcement worldwide especially throughout the Holiday Season with concern that socalled lone wolves or people inspired by isis might attack on short notice. Although no specific plot has been identified, everyone here is on alert, amy. Speaking to that authorities here in the u. S. Put out a security bulletin. Laying out security concerns for the big celebrations in times square on new years eve. Again, no specific threat has been identified, but this bulletin mentions what just happened in germany. It also states that terror attacks here at home and in europe have, quote, heightened concern about similar attacks being replicated in the near term. End quote. Everyone is being vigilant, florida authorities and the fbi are investigating after he got into a violent confrontation with his parents and police. His parents had become suspicious about a weird smell coming from the residence. Theyre checking to see if there are explosives and the local sheriff mentioned germany as a reason to take no chances. All right, pierre, thank you so much for that update. As you know, president elect donald trump reactg to the tragedy in berlin calling it a, quote, an attack on humanity as he briefly spoke with reporters outside his florida estate. Well speak with his Senior AdviserKellyanne Conway in a moment. Big news to break on that front. But first Abcs Cecilia Vega is here with more on trumps comments. Good morning. Reporter good morning. An attack on humanity and whats going on is, quote, terrible. That is the latest response from donald trump. Its clear where he stands on that attack in germany. Whats not so clear this morning is where he stands on that proposed plan to ban muslims. President elect donald trump emerging from the confines of his maralago estate. Appearing before the cameras and addressi europe. His National Security adviser retired general Michael Flynn behind him. Whats going on is terrible. In fact, we have intelligence here right now but whats going on is terrible. Reporter but this was no press conference. Today marks 148 days since his last one. In fact, trump took questions for all of 90 seconds and even then he did not answer when asked whether he is now reconsidering his proposed muslim ban. You know my plans all along and its ive been proven to be right 100 correct. Whats happening is disgraceful. Anyway, make sure everything is fine, folks. Nice to have you here. Reporter and with that it was over. But then three hours later, trump emerged once again before the cameras, a handshake with admirals and generals and then questions about his meeting with the heads of Lockheed Martin and boeing. Trying to get costs down, were trying to get the costs down. Its a program that is very, very expensive. Its a little bit of a dance. But were going to get the costs down and were going to debt it done beautifully. Reporter this time 5 seconds worth of questions and then the president elect went back inside. And this morning, president elect trump is close to having a full cabinet. He has just two slots left to fill. Agriculture and v. A. Great to have you with us and president elect trumps Senior AdviserKellyanne Conway. Youre goibxng to serve as counselor to the president. I am. Youll be in the white house. I will. Will you counsel him to have more press conferences, 148 days without an official press conference, 44 days since the election. No press conference and heres what you said about Hillary Clinton and her folks not having a press conference during the campaign. Her supporters are protecting her by not letting her talk to the press. Apparently we dont respect you the way we do. She wont even give a press conference. What do you think . I was always surprised when Hillary Clinton was running for president she didnt make herself more available to the press but also to the public. She took five days off before the last debate. Off at fundraisers and not out at rallies with tens of thousands a rally is much different than a press conference where americans can hear from their president elect. George w. Bush spoke a couple days after, barack obama three days after he was elected. Were at 44 days now. Let me say this, dwyane wade and mike pence have been forming their cabinet at rapid pace. So, their record speed with which theyve done their cabinet and senior team is something to behole. Were way ahead of schedule even George Herbert walker bush who was a sitting president and hes busy with that and about to announce our press secretary, Communications Director and more of our team. This will be a traditional white house in the sense that you will have a great deal of press and have a president who continues to be engaged with the press. Announce press secretary right here on gma. No, i wouldnt. I had to try. The president elect did talk yesterday briefly at maralago talking about the terror attack in berlin and asked about the muslim been that had been proposed. He said ive been proven to be right 100 correct so what does that mean as far as the registry is concerned or some sort of list. The comment went to the fact he was immediately criticized when he presumed that these attacks in germany and in turkey had to do with isis and then, of course, he is correct and thats what hes saying. He is the guy out there saying we need extreme vetting policies and need to have a better system visavis countries that train, harbor and export terrorists because right now we have a very uncertain very chaotic poor has he backed away from the idea of a registry . He said long after he more strictly tied to countries where we know they have a history of terrorism and that this is not this is not a complete ban. You were on the campaign obviously you remember this well. Donald trump often bashed Hillary Clinton for her ties to wall street and as weve watched the cabinet form weve seen three former executives from Goldman Sachs who will have close proximity to the president , by one estimate the net worth of the president elects cabinet is now at least 13 billion. 34 times greater than george w. Bush, five types greater than barack obama. Are you concerned that with the president elects message being about the forgotten people in america that that doesnt necessarily represent who they are . No, the two are not related in this way. The people on the cabinet are very successful men and women who have been job creator and true american Success Stories who are now bringing those skills to bear in the cabinet to help the forgotten man and forgotten woman. Many of them are the original American Dream stories and i would also say this, theres a difference in Hillary Clintons la millions of dollars in speech, tens of millions in contributions for our Foundation Even while shes sitting at the state department. And donald trump tapping some of the greatest talents that weve seen on wall street to go and serve on his cabinet. A few weeks until the inauguration. We heard Andreas Bocelli and heard hes not performing. Can we tell you anyone on the list. Its not the Academy Awards but for the people. This is the peoples president. Anyone lined up yet . Yes. All right. Nobody put me in charge of the entertainment. Im a little too geeky for that. Thank you very much on the new role. I know you have four little ones waiting for santa. I am too. You deserve it. Thank you. Lets switch gears to the new Health Concerns about Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip. Theyve delayed their usual christmas trip and are home at Buckingham Palace and lama hasan is there. Lama, what is the latest . Reporter good morning to you, michael. This morning you can s royal standard, thats the queens flag flying high above Buckingham Palace which means the queen and Prince Philip are still at Buckingham Palace today. Yesterday they were due to board a train to their sandringham estate to kick off five weeks of festivities and celebrate with other members of the royal family. We understand they had to cancel and delay the trip at the very last minute because they were suffering from, quote, heavy coals. We understand they are very keen to get to sandringham as soon as possible and as soon as theyre feeling better, michael. Steams weve been seeing less of the queen and prince these days. Reporter yeah, absolutely, michael. The queen is 90 years old and Prince Philip is 95 and just this week the queen gave up 25 of her 600 patronages handing over reins to other members of the royal family. That said they are pretty active and try to carry out as many engagements as they can, michael. All right, well, thank you, lama. Well talk to you later about more going on. Ive been watching the crown and so immersed in everything royal and Queen Elizabeth. Top of my list as we head into the holiday. So good. We had this election this year. I havent watched a thing. Time to catch up on everything. Im with you. Im watching ginger every day and so is america. My netflix queue is very long. That low pressure system. I promised you another st
