Hello from CNN, I'm Joe Beck with the five things you need to know for Thursday

August 8th. An alleged terror plot has pushed organizers to cancel three of Taylor Swift's shows in Austria.

Organizers say the Vienna leg of Swift's era's tour won't be going ahead out of fears

Sources say the US warned Austria about a potential terror attack and the Austrian

Director of Security Services spoke to CNN.

The Austrian Security Service got an information that the concert of Taylor Swift will be attacked

due to an incident that will happen and the 19 year old Austrian guy that is very high radicalized and who pledged the allegiance for ISIS

will do an attack during three of the current sets. So we started our

investigation and we saw that it's a broader network of Islamists and yesterday

we arrested the 19 year old guy, a 17 year old Austrian guy and we got also to the information that the younger guy a 15 year old Austrian citizen is also involved in the planings to attack the concert.

We found a lot of precursors for building explosives and we also found explosive devices that he could use in the during the attack.

We should add that the three suspects have been questioned and no one else is being sought in direct

connection with the plot. CNN has reached out to Swift's representatives for

comments. Donald Trump's team has started its attack on the Democratic presidential ticket,

similar trail to Harrison Wals in the Midwest, even arriving in Wisconsin yesterday and seeing Harris's ride on the

Tarmac. Air Force 2. I just wanted to check out my future flame.

Vance has been putting pressure on the VP to sit down for a major media interview,

a forum where she's historically been more vulnerable.
