little bit any more. >> reporter: in the wake of the paris attacks at least two- thirds of the republican voters in the three early contests say a candidate must agree with them on how to handle isis in order to get their vote. and overwhelming majorities favor sending u.s. ground troops to the middle east to fight the terrorist group. today, trump built on his controversial policy prescriptions saying he would resume waterboarding, create a watchlist for refugees and monitor mosques. >> i think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they would do to us. >> reporter: in another new poll, 25% of new hampshire primary voters say trump is best equipped to handle the u.s. response to isis. rubio lags behind with 13%. >> what happened in paris could happen here. >> reporter: the florida senator said his campaign was using the issue for its first campaign ad. >> i obviously am not happy about the events that happened last week in paris, but i think it's a positive development that it suddenly has cast a -- forced americans to confront more carefully the issue of national security. >> reporter: the rise of rubio and cruz has come at the expense of ben carson, whose campaign admits the retired neurosurgeon has been hurt by the focus on national security. >> who's got the most experience? i don't know that it necessarily comes down to politics, it comes down to practical experience. >> reporter: to burnish his foreign policy credentials, his campaign considering a foreign trip ahead of iowa. asia, australia and africa have been mentioned. jeff, a campaign official says it's part of strategy to take control of the new cycles and do something unusual and eye- opening. >> glor: julianna goldman in our d.c. bureau. thank you very much. french president francois hollande is visiting several world leaders this week including president obama at the white house on tuesday. back in paris, a return to normalcy has been elusive. elizabeth palmer is there. >> if you're young enough, paris feels as enchanted as ever. the big department stores have decked out their windows and a christmas market stretches down champs elysse. closed for four days right after the attacks, the stall owners have lost a lot of business. and now they're opening again, says margot, sales are slow. there are not as many people walking? >> many people walking, yes. but so many people don't pay. >> reporter: no one is spending the way they usually do? >> very difficult. >> reporter: business is down all over, by a third, in the restaurants and cafes, and the chamber of commerce says hotel revenues are down by half as tourists cancel their plans. lilly carvalho and ken eisner buck the trend. but, -- >> there is like a constant dark cloud around us. >> reporter: reinforced by the site of soldiers all over the city. >> this constant awareness that you don't know what it's going to be hit next or if there is any place safe. >> reporter: since the attacks, the french have rallied around the national symbols. that has been good news for the quoniam family, who make flags, in what is not normally a flag- waving country. >> you have a french flag on yourself or in your house it's an act of patriotism. >> reporter: and a declaration that terrorism will not defeat the values of the french republic. of course, economies do bounce back after terrorist attacks. but in this case, this is the second one in less than a year. and jeff, the french government has warned that there may be more of them. >>glor: liz palmer, thank you. the security team for pope francis nearly doubled in size last week just before his visit to africa, which begins wednesday. as allan pizzey reports, the extra security was evident today at the vatican. >> reporter: the ramped-up security was in place long before the faithful even began to arrive. armed police from italy's numerous forces were on every corner. everyone who arrived for the pope's weekly angelus was checked. bags open, random patdowns. and that was just to get into the street in front of st. peter's basilica. the line stretched for several blocks for those wanting to enter the square itself. iat involves another layer including metal detectors. the security wasn't just a reaction to the paris attacks. some months ago the cover of the isis online magazine had a photoshop of their flag flying from the obelisk in the center of the square. the implied threat didn't worry ernest and joanne morelli from st. petersburg, florida, however. >> we feel they're doing pretty good job. they're all over the place. and we don't feel as if anything could happen at this point. i mean it always could but we feel fairly safe. >> reporter: pope francis is known to be indifferent to his own security but aides say he's deeply concerned for those who flock to see him. the only way to ensure complete security in place like this to stop the terrorist well before they reach the target. but as both sides know only too well, the police have to get it right every time, the terrorist only have to get lucky once. allan pizzey, cbs news, rome. >>glor: the city of chicago is on edge just before the release of a video showing a white police officer shooting and killing a black teen. jericka duncan has more on this. >> reporter: 17-year-old laquan mcdonald was shot 16 times last year. the family's attorney, jeff neslund has seen the police dash cam video. >> the first shot or two seemed to spin him to the ground, he falls down, he's down on the ground. and then for the next 30 seconds or so in this video, the officer just continues to shoot. >> reporter: a judge ordered the video be made public by wednesday after the city rejected several freedom of information requests. police superintendent garry mccarthy says they are prepared for possible violent protests. >> we will facilitate people's first amendment right to free speech. we will facilitate protests, quite frankly, but we will be intolerant of criminal behavior. >> reporter: community activists are calling for calm, but reverend jesse jackson acknowledges people are frustrated. >> people are disgusted, and many are angry. most are angry. the question becomes "when will the cup runeth over?" >> reporter: the night mcdonald was shot, authorities say he had four inch folding knife and pcp in his system. officer jason van dyke's attorney, dan herbert, says mcdonald's behavior was erratic. >> he firmly believed that he was in fear for his life. and he was concerned about the life of his fellow officers. >> reporter: the

these warm ocean waters near the equator force the jet stream that usually dumps rain on central america north, bringing a conveyer belt of storms to california and the southern u.s. >> this current el nino has now surpassed the 1997-98 "el nino" which was the biggest on record. so, it's huge. >> reporter: josh willis is a climate scientist with nasa. he says el ninos typically impact southern california. but this one is so big, it will hit the entire state. why is it important that a lot of these storms hit northern california? >> our water supply is tied to northern california. and it's been in a drought for more than a decade. >> reporter: california's largest reservoirs are in northern california and they are at historic lows. but "el nino" comes at a cost. those storms in the
