This is the first time a president s ever gone to israel in his first foreign trip. As you know when you go on these trips there are a lot of rules in these big events. Even World Leaders seem to have confusion about where to stand. Take a look at what the cameras caught this morning. They have all this protocol. We never know what it is. Hais the protocol .

Later he heads to europe where he will meet with the pope and other World Leaders. Jon karl is in jerusalem and has the latest details. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. President trump made history the moment his plane touched down here in israel. It is the very first time that we had a direct flight from to israel from saudi arabia. Which is the birthplace of islam and has no relations with israel and no flights the president arrived in israel in pursuit of what he calls the ultimate deal. Middle east peace. I have come to this sacred and ancient land to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and the state of israel. Reporter no american president has visited israel so early in his presidency. But President Trump started his trip in saudi arabia. The heart of the islamic world. There in the birthplace of islam, an image that not long ago would have been impossible to imagine. Donald trump offering a message of unity to the worlds Muslim Leaders. Terrorists do not worship god. They worship death. This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human light and decent people all in the name of religion. Reporter in the audience the leaders of more than 50 different muslim nations. I stand before you as a representative of the American People to deliver a message of friendship and hope and love. That is why i chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the muslim world. Reporter the president s words and his tone dramatically different from the campaign when he proposed banning all muslims from entering the u. S. And portrayed islam as the enemy. I think islam hates us. Theres something theres something there that is a tremendous hatred there. Reporter this time talk of partnership and cooperation in the war on terror, but he did challenge these leaders to take the lead in defeating the terrorists in their midst. A Better Future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the treeextremists. Drive them out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this earth. Reporter and before he left saudi arabia, there was this incredible image, the president and the king hands on a glowing orb. What were they doing . Opening up a new center in saudi arabia to counter extremists online. The president will be meeting here with israeli Prime MinisterBibi Netanyahu and Mahmood Abbas. For all the talk of a peace deal, the two sides at this point arent even talking to each other about it yet. George. Lets bring in Martha Raddatz to talk more about this right now as jon said, we know the meeting with the israeli Prime Minister will be today and hes got a Good Relationship with Bibi Netanyahu. Reporter you know, you may see these magnificent ceremonies and unshakable bond in public but there is a whole lot going on in Israeli IntelligenceCommunity Behind the scenes. Its hard to imagine that the two will spend any time talking about it. It will be done in the intelligence communities, security communities but make no mistake this was a major issue and infuriated Israeli Intelligence. Youre talking about putting the lives of spies at risk and israel will think twice about sharing that kind of intelligence, george. The president there with the israeli president Reuven Rivlin and he is getting invested in this whole issue of middle east peace trying to drive a peace deal between the two. Many of his predecessors have tried and failed. Reporter its one of the most complicated issues on the planet. I watched this process for decades and just when you think you have made progress, it comes to a screeching halt. Always good to be optimistic but analysts ive spoken to dont see anything that President Trumps team has done that gives them any great hope there will be middle east peace, in fact, i think they are less optimistic that it will happen under this administration, george. The president will try to prove them wrong. Martha raddatz, thanks very much. The latest on the russia investigation. New questions this morning about President Trumps meeting with russian officials and what he said about former fbi director james comey. Our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has more and joins us with those details. Good morning. Reporter robin, good morning. Allegations of namecalling from President Trump only likely to fuel the war of words with the former fbi director set to testify before congress in the coming weeks. Even as the president travels oversea, questions about russia and the firing of the fbi director remain front and center. These questions need to be answered. Reporter new reports say federal investigators are looking into whether there were ties between the Trump Campaign and russia are interested in a white house staffer. The staffer has not been identified and its unclear what the investigators want. I dont know where it will go. Again, we got to step back and let the investigators and the fbi and the others do their job. Reporter newly appointed special counsel bob mueller is gearing up for an investigation and many who know him say it will be broad and aggressive. This is fired fbi director james comey preparing to testify before the Senate Intelligence committee. The New York Times reporting president President Trump allegedly called him a nut job in the oval office during that meeting with top russian officials reportedly adding that firing comey took great pressure off him. Is that what the president said. Well, i dont remember exactly what the president said, the gist of the conversation was that the president feels as if hes hamstrung. Reporter the investigation into russia is not going anywhere and with the testimony it of comey on the horizon, more dramatic moments surely to come, george. Okay, pierre, thanks very much. As those continue on capitol hill this Week Congress is going to get its first look at President Trumps full budget and proms to balance the budge in ten years with big cuts in medicaid and mary bruce has details. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Were getting a new glimpse at the president s Spending Priorities and one of his top targets entitlements. His budget which will be released tomorrow will slash the safety nets by 1. 7 trillion including massive cuts to medicaid, food stamps and other antipoverty programs. Now, as the president promised on the campaign trail he is not touching Social Security or medicare and called for a big boost in military spending, 54 billion coupled with cults to foreign aid and other domestic programs but already the president s plan is being met with a bit of a Cold Shoulder by members of both parties, but as always the president s budget just a jumping off point for negotiations up on capitol hill. Just the beginning, thanks very much. Lets talk about it more with matthew dowd and the description mary gave, this is the president doubling down on what we saw on the house plan to repeal and replace obamacare and thats not popular. Well, no, and i think this plan is based on a couple of premises i think assumptions wont go right, one on the house plan passing in the senate which looks like it met a buzz saw and the other thing is these series of tax cuts that are baked into in that will somehow grow the economy and fix the budget. I think the problem donald trump has in order to do something this dramatic and draconian in many ways requires a lot of Political Capital and he doesnt have a full gas tank. He doesnt even have half. He has a third of a gas tank so tough to get it through. He does appear to be getting a break from the controversies at home on this first trip overseas. Yeah, i think his first trip so far, i mean, one of the lessons you would think he learn is giving set speeches on a teleprompter usually gets you applause and usually gets you people so so far no errors. I dont know how many runs are scored. When you look at these foreign trips i recall a lot of president ial foreign trips that didnt do anything within the country. Nixon made a trip in 74 and didnt change the public view and bill clinton made a middle eastern trip ten days before election day and was applauded and came back and dramatically lost elections. Got wiped out. Got wiped out. Thanks very much. We move to the tragedy at the university of maryland.

Extreme bias against members of the jewish faith and especially africanamericans. Reporter at around 3 00 a. M.

Now, witnesses including collins friends say there were reports that urbanski could be heard screaming at collins saying step left if you know whats good for you and when collins looked at him puzzled and said no, thats when reportedly urbanski stapped him in the chest but still waiting for more details about their interaction leading up to that attack. We know there are unconfirmed reports there could be a bond hearing scheduled today. Centers on one and jury selection set to start in pittsburgh. Abcs linsey davis is outside the courthouse with the story. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, george. Here we are 300 miles away from Montgomery County where the actual trial will take place. Thats because cosbys attorneys were successful at arguing the point that residents there are too tainted.
