Welcome to Meet the Press Now.

I'm Kristen Welker on a very busy day in Washington.

Just moments ago, I spoke with former New York governor and independent candidate in the New York City mayor's race, Andrew Cuomo, in his first national TV interview since Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of that race.

We will bring that to you in just a few moments.

It's also day two of the government shutdown with Congress still at a stalemate over government funding.

We'll get to all of that in a moment, but we do begin today with the deadly attack at a stalemate over government funding. We'll get to all of that in a

moment, but we do begin today with the deadly attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England,

on the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. Officials in the UK have declared it an act

of terrorism. Now, according to law enforcement officials, two people were killed and four others

remain in the hospital after a man drove his car into a crowd of people outside a synagogue and proceeded to get out of the car and attack people with a knife.

Officials say the assailant was shot and killed by police moments after he began his attack.

Two arrests were also made in connection with the attack.

Prime Minister Kirstarmer addressed his nation in the wake of the tragedy, expressing

his condolences to the families and victims of the attack and committing to fighting

the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK. Take a listen.

This is not a new hate. This is something Jews have always lived with. We must be

clear. It is a hatred that is rising once again. And Britain must defeat it once again.

On behalf of the nation, I want to offer my condolences to the families and victims affected.

To every Jewish person in this country, I also want to say this.

I know how much fear you will be holding inside of you. I really do.

And so on behalf of our country,

I express my solidarity,
