circuit court of appeals keeps it from going into fek, writing for the majority, chief judge roger gregory wrote, mr. trump's order speaks with vague words of national security. but in context drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination. the travel ban was a cornerstone of president trump's campaign. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: shortly after taking office the president signed a first executive order that was also blocked by the courts. this version which dropped any overt references to religion was supposed to stand up to judicial scrutiny. the administration has said the threat of terrorism justifies the ban. the desenting judges agreed. the real losers in this case are the millions of individual americans whose security is threatened on a daily basis by those who seek to do us harm.

earlier today secretary of homeland security john kelly warned congress that he was worried about isis fighters traveling to europe and the u.s. >> they're not going home to live normal lives. in fact, they're being encouraged to not be killed in the caliphate fight, go back to where you came from and just create manchester-type fights. >> reporter: the administration is expected to wait to appeal until the 9th circuit court rules on a similar case. scott f the two courts disagree, the supreme court will likely need to step in. >> pelley: jeff pegues for us, tonight. thank you. the man who attacked the concert in manchester on monday night was born in britain of parents who had immigrated from libya. 22 people were killed. the number in the hospitals has fallen by half to 32. and the number in critical condition is down to ten. there have been eight arrests

says police chief ian hopkins of the terror network they fear is behind the bombing. >> i want to reassure people that the arrests that we have made are significant. >> reporter: more is emerging about the bomber, salman abedi. police think he stayed in this apartment building in the days before the attack after he had come back from libya, perhaps with instructions from isis. but they are furious that critical information they wanted to keep secret for as long as they could, including the bomber's identity and the nature of the bomb's construction gleened from pieces of it found from after the blast have been leaked to u.s. news outlets including to cbs news after it was shared with u.s. security officials. manchester mayor andy burnham. >> it is wrong, it is arrogant, it is disrespectful to the people, but mainly to the families who have lost loved ones and to those injured. >> reporter: prime minister theresa may promised to confront

president trump with her country's outrage when she met himain brussels. >> intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies must remain secure. thank you. >> reporter: police anger over the leaks goes beyond their affect on victims' families, telling terrorists groups what you know, they say, gives them advanced warnings of the sorts of things you are looking for. and scott, it removes the element of surprise when you come after them. >> pelley: mark phillips in manchester again tonight for us. mark, thank you. here in brussels, the theme of today's nato summit might have been with friends like these, who needs enemies. mr. trump publicly berated the allies for not paying their fair share for defense and the chief of the alliance complained that mr. trump isn't worried enough about the threat from russia. major garrett covered the summit. >> reporter: president trump responded to the british prime minister by calling the intelligence leaks deeply troubling.

he said these leaks have been going on for a long time, and promised a full justice department investigation. at a ceremony with nato leaders including prime minister may, the president observed a moment of silence for the victims of the manchester terror attack. >> all people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing and removing these killers and extremists. and yes, losers. >> reporter: while terrorism has taken center stage at the summit, confronting russia is also a dominant theme. but the 28 nation alliance originally formed as a counterweight to the soviet influence is showing cracks. european council president donald tusk. >> i am not 100% sure that we can say today, we meaning mr. president and myself, that we have a common position, common opinion about russia. >> reporter: during the campaign candidate trump

routinely questioned nato's usefulness. >> i said here's the problem with nato. it's obsolete. >> reporter: he has since backed off that claim but today he made clear the u.s. is nato's top dog, through his actions and his words, mr. trump lectured his nato colleagues on their need to contribute more. >> this is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. >> reporter: only five nato members spend two percent of their gross domestic product on defense. the nato standard. just three more countries have promised to meet that mark next year. >> with these chronic underpayments, and growing threats, even two percent of gdp is insufficient. >> reporter: the president did not publicly commit to nato's core mission defending any member nation attacked. scott, senior officials flying with the president from brussels to italy here nor g7 meetings echo secretary of state tillerson who said yesterday the u.s. will fulfill all nato obligations. >> pelley: our chief white house correspondent major

news was an eye witness. >> when gianforte grabbed him by the neck, both hands, slid him to the side, body slamed him and then got on top of him and started punching and then yelling at him. >> reporter: republican house speaker paul ryne did not endorse the candidate's actions. >> that is wrong and it should not have happened. i think he should apologize. >> reporter: gianforte has disappeared. he was last seen driving away from the incident and cancelled all appearances today. as for voters, elizabeth green said a congressional candidate should act the way she teaches her son 1578. >> like i tell my son, it is important to keep your hands to yourself. and to use your words. and if candidate for congress can't do that, then definitely doesn't deserve to have that position. >> reporter: doug steiner voted for gianforte. the incident did not change his mind. >> no. >> why not? >> because i have heard too many versions of it and i'm not sure what happened, no offense, but i

don't trust the media much. >> reporter: if convicted, gianforte faces a $500 fine or six months in jail, or both. so far no republican has called for him to withdrawal draw from the race or if nn scricted, scott, to in the take the seat. >> pelley: the trust worthy barry petersen in montana tonight. thank you, barry. tonight the u.s. senate has completed its investigation of the wounded warrior project. the senate probe began after a series of reports on the cbs evening news questioned how much of the donations were actually going to wounded vets. chip reid has this. >> reporter: last year we met erik millette one of dozens of former employees who shared with cbs news concerns about the charity's spending and programs for veterans. >> they're using our injuries, our darkest days, our hardships to make money. so you can have these big

entire executive suite of the charity. >> i think it's going to help in the long run to deliver exactly what the program ought to do for veterans. >> reporter: in a statement wounded warrior project said it follows accounting rules and irs requirements and has quote made significant changes to insure that we are focused on running the most efficient, effective organization possible. scott, it also says it updated its travel and expense policies and adjusted its programs and services to focus on mental health and long-term support. >> pelley: chip reid, thanks. president trump said deurlg the campaign that nato is obsolete because it doesn't fight fer rich. but the truth is the alliance has been in afghanistan for 16 years. 25 nato countries have forces there now alongside more than 8,000 u.s. troops. elizabeth palmer is among the most experienced war correspondents today and she brings us up to date on

afghans. u.s. troop strength which had peaked at 98,000 in 20-- 210 plummeted to $8,400. but now the pentagon wants to reverse that. it asked to add 3 to 5,000 more personnel. and for authorizization to send u.s. forces closer to the front lines, to back up afghan soldiers who are often overwhelmed by the taliban and dying in the thousands. here in brussels the u.s. has been trying to talk its nato allies into adding thousands more troops in afghanistan as well. but so far the reception has been cool. and as for the decision to beef up u.s. forces, it has been postponed until the president returns to washington. >> pelley: liz palmer in brussels tonight, thank you. today the pentagon acknowledged at least 105 civilians were killed in a u.s. air strike in
