Order military to carry out air strikes on the Islamic States de facto capital of raqqa syria. We attacked a training and command center and hit the targets. Reporter president obama has been meeting with leaders on the sidelines of the g20 summit taking place in turkey 500 miles from the syrian border. We have always understood this would be a longterm campaign. There will be setbacks and successes. The terrible events in paris were obviously a terrible and sickening setback. Ernie there is new disturbing reports tonight about isis releasing a video threatening the United States, particularly in the washington, d. C. , area. Tell us about that. Reporter the Islamic State released a chilling video. It threatens that any country that takes part in air strikes on syria could face the same fate as paris. Now the u. S. Department of Homeland Security has not verified the authenticity ernie i was going to ask about that. Reporter they havent. But they said at this time, there is still no credible threat against the u. S. But certainly this is frightening for people to hear, that theyve released it, especially in light of what happened friday. Ernie thank you for that. Lets tell you more about combatting isis. It will require solid intelligence. Today the g20 summit in turkey, president obama announced a new intelligence sharing event with france but ruled out additional troops to iraq and syria. Here in new york, the nypd is beefing up its counterintelligence capabilities. Police teams are in paris gathering information and developing strategies to fight the growing threats. Especially against soft targets. That threat is growing and morphing in new and dangerous directions as evidenced by the events in paris. Ernie commissioner bratton says the idea is to have the entire 560member Critical Response unit fully trained and ready to news that one of fridays attackers may have entered france with a syrian passport has some reevaluating what our refugee policy should be. A growing number of governors wont accept refugees, but the president says its our moral obligation not to turn our backs on them. We do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism. Ernie the United States has promised to take in about 10,000 Syrian Refugees over the next year. Last year it admitted 1700. Security is on the mind of many of us as we react to the events in paris. Joining me is sam, a professor at nyu school of law and a former nypd intelligence director. Good credentials. Thanks for being here. Weve been hearing about the new deployment, a new counterterrorism unit in effect. Out . Theres no such thing as perfect security. All experts get that. This will chip away at the risk. The key is to learn from whats going on and being dynamic. Thats what theyre doing. Ernie were talking about looking at critical locations. What about those soft targets important. How do we protect . Thats where the action is. We can look to the nypd. We can look to our federal officials to do the work for us. I have to say citizens will have themselves. Were going to have to get officials are. Ernie when you talk about see something, say something, thats really important. Everybody sort of has to be involved and be aware and help. Exactly right. If youve lived in israel or england or any other country, culture. I think well start making that part of our culture to a greater extent. Ernie talk about the challenges now of airport and border security. Airport and borders are relatively okay. Tsa doesnt get an a plus in my report card, but theyre doing a credible job. On the other hand, were worried about interaction between folks who may be here and folks who have real live experience on the battlefield in syria. That was the combustible mix in paris. Thats what worries officials here. Ernie were talking about syria. Theres this concern and its growing about refugees from syria coming into our country. How about the vetting process . With your experience, former intelligence director, how do you see that . How could that work or not work . Well, it could work. Its going to need to be as robust as possible. Its no substitute for Real Intelligence work that persists even after folks have gotten into the country. Its important to remember this isnt just a question of American Values and security on the other. We allow hundreds of thousands of would be refugees to remain in what amounts to be a cauldron in syria. Its going to be a Global Security problem which will reach new york city. Ernie bottom line, everybody wants to know. Are we safe . Bottom line, thanks to the nypd and thanks to our federal officials, were about as safe in a large city in this city as we could be. But nothing is perfect. Ernie sam, thank you for joining us and your insights. Also to tell you about, wall street honoring the paris victims on the First Business day since fridays attacks.

Now back to the tragedy in paris. For families with loved ones studying abroad in paris and around the world, fridays attacks have increased concern for their safety. Jessica formoso visited the nyu campus and sampled reaction from foreign students studying here. Heres her report. Reporter a lot of the students at nyu are studying abroad and say since the attacks on friday, they feel safe in new york city and say they are not going to let fear ruin their experience. Melissa arrived at nyu in august from france. Shes enrolled in the french studies Master Program and is saddened about what happened at home. Everybody was afraid and sad with these events because it was a concert and a coffee. It could have happened to everybody. Reporter since fridays attacks, shes been in contact with her family and says neither she nor her family are worried about her safety here in new york. Paris has been targeted, not here. I didnt feel not insecure place. My family didnt feel that. Reporter same for arthur. You have to just, you know, manage to understand that you need not to be impressed by the action and try to, i dont know, be calm and continue to live. Reporter some students in new york are concerned about another attack a little worried. New york is one of the big cities in the world. Paris is another big city. Maybe this could be another one. Reporter students planning to go to paris say they wont let these attacks keep them from going ahead with their plans. You cant really predict that its going to happen. You arent in control of it. But whatever you can do to help the general effort or respect those countries and help them, thats what i will do. I dont think its going to stop me from going to a country to study abroad and further my education. Reporter none of the students in paris were harmed. Im jessica formoso. Ernie its been a difficult view days as the world comes to term with the terror attacks. Im asking for your thoughts on this. You know what happened in paris is such a terrible thing. I wondered if you have a message for the people of france and to the world in terms of how you feel about whats happened. Ernie the messages new yorkers are sending to support the people of paris as they continue to mourn. It took the rockettes years to master the kick line. But only a few moves to master paying bills on chase. Com technology designed for you. Ernie russ is joining us. Another heart break for the giants. Im saying theyre playing pretty good. All of a sudden, i said not again. Russ bam. Ernie what is that . Russ you know what its like doing the postgame shows . Ernie sure. Youre there. Russ game one, seven seconds to go. They lose in new orleans. Yesterday they lose with one second left on the clock. Ernie like a habit. Russ you feel drunk on monday morning like a bad, bad hangover hangover. The good news is theyre in first place. The bad news is they have yet to learn how to close the deal, to finish the job. Tom coughlin said it. The players have said it. At that juncture in the game, its up to the players to get theyre not getting the job done. Ernie in fairness, a lot of injuries, too . Theyre plagued with that. Russ well get to another injury factor coming up. Victor cruz is done for the season. Well talk about that. You had will beatty, key offensive players. You know what . Tom coughlin never uses that as excuses. You cant. Its got to be next man standing. Theyve always been in a position to win. Ernie a lot of controversy about what they thought, the giants thought was a touchdown. Russ i thought it was a touchdown as well. To me, beckham caught the ball, had one foot down, the other and then the ball was knocked out of his hands. One guy was doing the postgame show and is a giants wide receiver. He is not a homer. He can be very critical. He looked at me and said im telling you, no way they do that was a touchdown catch. Even besides the catch, had it been a touchdown, brady would have marched the other way. They allowed to get in position for a field goal. Ernie tell me about victor cruz. Russ a sad situation. Its been three weeks, three weeks, three weeks. Thats not happening. Victor himself announced today that because of the calf injury, which he suffered back in Training Camp back in august, hes done for the season. Hes going to have surgery. Basically heres a young man who lost 10 games last season because of one injury. His future becomes a big question mark. The general manager was asked are you going to talk about his contract . He said im not addressing that. That will be down the road. Ernie thank you.
