windshield that was manned with two police officers inside there. >> reporter: late wednesday night, president obama react to get deadly shooting saying he was, quote, deeply disturbed by the footage and is grateful for his hometown for keeping protests peaceful. now, also they went to millennium park. there's a new christmas tree there. we saw them pulling lights off the tree before somebody could step in. we'll see what happens on black friday. several folks told us they plan to come up this way, magnificent mile, to disrupt the sales. michaela. >> we want to take a closer look at the videos with retired hear houck and lamont hill. i want to wish a happy thanksgiving. and i'm grateful for both of to you bringing your voices to this conversation. i'm hoping we can keep it reasonable and civil here.

i think so many of us are trust stra trust stra trust straited that we're having this conversation. you don't believe in this officer should have fired, correct? correct. >> there is new video from the officer's dash cam that was the previous angle. do you feel the same way, that the officer shouldn't have opened fire? >> oh, yeah, definitely, i think the officer should have found a different way to handle the situation. getting out of that vehicle that fast. shots fired that fast. after seeing the video from my friend and after watching the video and other officers' reactions, i can say to myself, and to the viewers that this shooting was unwarranted. >> it didn't need to happen. >> it did not need to happen.

>> you even remember a case where you drop your bat ton at someone and they dropped the knife. >> right. this is not like a rookie. he's got 14, 16 years. i'm not sure how much time he's got on the job. he should have taken a little more time to assess it. listen, a lot of cops talk about, we can't wound a guy, shoot a guy in a leg. you could have shot the guy in the leg. i'm a good shot. i don't know how great a shot this guy is, all right. but there are other things to do. this man didn't have to die. >> mark, i want to play this sound from the defense attorney, van dyke's attorney. and i want you to hear what he said just yesterday. >> everyone is looking for something on the video that would show mr. mcdonald charging at my client or raising his knife and moving in his direction. and it doesn't -- it doesn't

necessarily show that. but that does that mean that my client's actions were criminal. >> and the fact that he goes on to say does not show the incidents that occurred before his client arrived. now, we know what happened before he arrived. there's a different angle. this changes things a lot, for a lot of people. but i don't think it it changes your perspective stall, does it? >> it doesn't. >> there's always more evidence, there's always more context. there's always more nuance. at the end of the day, officers have to make sound decisions in the moment and they have to make decisions that are reflective of the most urgent sort of needs at the time. the most urgent needs at the time was to secure the public and make sure no one was hurt. it seems to me they were able to did that without shooting. part of what the defense strategy, of course is going to be is to say, this guy was more dangerous than imagined. the officer felt more threatened than you can see. and more context than you can

see. >> there are reports that burger king in the area, they had a surveillance camera. and we understand it picked up the moments -- the shooting, what happened that evening. the manager of that burger king is said to have called police. police reviewed the tape, after they viewed it. the manager said, that footage simply was gone. it was missing. that's an hour and a half of footage. it begs the question, can the police investigate themselves if this kind of thing is happening? >> well, this is what i was getting at yesterday when i was saying that is not enough to simply blame the city for the one-year delay. and we can assume that the police had nothing to do with it. the police -- if the in fact did erase tape, over footage that was erased which opening a bigger challenge here. the police are investigating themselves. the police police the police. when 95% of harassment claims, brutality cases have been

exonerated, well, of course, you're the one doing the sko exonerating. >> to that point, between the surveillance footage that's gone missing. we also hear chicago p.d. says there was no audio records because the battery were put in the wrong way. these irregularities don't help matters for police. >> listen, it doesn't help. i don't know what's going on here, regarding the chicago p.d., whether or not somebody messed with that type or not. that's a possibility. >> does it smell bad to you? you know what i mean? >> yeah, a lot of cases it turns out that that one camera that we needed to identify somebody, all of a sudden, that camera wasn't work working, or that camera was pointed in the wrong direction.

can chicago p.d. investigate itself? i'm sure they can. they got internal affairs. i was in internal affairs for seven years. we went after cops all the time. so, let's wait to see whether there's any evidence to indicate that somebody else actually stole that tape. >> i'm sure there's an information going on. >> with less than a minute left, we have had these conversations before, and we ask the question, what can be done? we have to keep asking this question, what can be done until something is done. first harry. and, marc, we'll get your response. >> as far as the way police officers acted the way this officer did? >> yes. >> listen, i like to be realistic about this kind of thing. you know what i mean? police officers aren't perfect. just like anybody else. every once in a while, somebody is going to get through and do something wrong. we have more training on use of force for police officers, especially on the fact if you fire a couple shots and a man is

down, stop shooting. >> marc, where do we start? >> it's stunning that we have to tell someone that someone is on the ground after they walk up and shoot them 14 more times. we have to ask fundamental questions about who we're recruiting, who we're hiring. also, what is the role that police should play in our society and what is the role that police should play in our neighborhoods. at the end of the day, this isn't happening. i love "new day," but i'd love to talk about syria and how awesome the eagles are or thanksgiving. >> we would love to as well, unfortunately, you're right. this is happening all too frequently. gentlemen, i hope you get a wonderful thanksgiving with your families. >> thank you. >> thank you for working on this with us today. >> alisyn. russia and turkey still butting heads despite cause to

de-escalate tensions after turkey shot down that russian jet. turkey releasing a recording of the warning they say they issued to the russians about violating their airspace. the russian pilot who survived said they never got any warning. ian is live with the latest in istanbul. what do we know, ian? >> reporter: well, alisyn, we're hearing at this hour, there is heavy bombardment in the area where the plane went down. russian air force has carried out at least 12 air strikes. we're also hearing that the regime forces of bashar al assad have bombarded it with military backed with the turkish government. turkey and russia have ruled out going to war over this incident. it looks like we're now seeing russia's retaliation going after turkey's interest inside of syria. but also, we're hearing of economic retaliations also against syria. mind you that russia is the

second largest trading partner for turkey. they get 60% of their natural gas from russia. today, we're hearing that russia is going to put tighter controls on food imports into russia, saying that at about 15% of those imports do not meet russian standards. while they say they're not going to war, it doesn't seem that russia is going to forgive or forget anytime soon. french president francoise hollande will meet with vladimir putin in russia. he'll be trying to get them to focus on isis and compromise for the syrian crisis. certainly, a tall order on both accounts. cnn senior correspondent jim bittermann is live for us in paris. jim. >> reporter: no question about it, michaela, in fact, we may have just gotten taller because of the shootdown of the russian jet. he's probably going to hear an

earful from that. but also an earful from putin about the idea that bashar al assad has to go. he's been saying all along that bashar al assad can no longer be the president of syria, after any kind of an operation is finished there. but russia has not compromised at all on that. so, that's one of the things the two men will be talking about. the russians look like they were coming along, maybe acting like they were going to compromise until that russian fighter yet was shoppchopped down. this effort by the worldwide effort, angela merkel, true dough and president obama, all comes after the bloody attacks which killed lots of people. and we're still getting unbelievable details about how the attacks took place. on stage at bataclan. with the band eagles of death metal, and they have been speaking about what they saw. >> there was a woman in front of

me, who, it was scary, because she was leaning -- she got shot like right here on her upper side. and there's nothing to do except for -- there's this guy, i don't know, you know, he was holding her and he was keeping pressure on her. and she had a friend who was doing the same thing. and this guy was just trying to like keep her comfortable. >> reporter: matt mcjunkins of the eagles speaking about it. alisyn. >> it's fascinating to hear from the band. it's so, so traumatic still. thank you for that, jim. meanwhile, british prime minister david cameron making his case right now to parliament. we have live pictures right there. about getting ready to launch air strikes against isis in syria. the uk is already part of the coalition. cameron says the longer isis is allowed to grow in syria, the greater the threat becomes.

well, the russian pilot who survived being shot down above a turkey border this week says he never got a warning about being in turkish airspace. but turkey releasing audio of a message it claimed it radioed to the pilot. for now, let's bring in retired general james "spider" marks and our counterterrorism expert and season fellow for the foundation. gentlemen, happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving, alisyn. >> let's start with the audio that turkey said it radioed to the pilots. we have a little portion of it. >> unknown air traffic position. 040, this is turkish air force speaking to you. change your direction. >> they say change your

direction. immediately change and change your heading south, they say, spider, is there any way to say who is telling the truth? >> oh, sure, the united states probably have a jet in the air at the time. all this is objective data, the key is, alisyn, the russian aircraft should have known, they had all the capabilities to determine where it was to the turkish border. turkey had every right in the world to say, look, you're infringing on our space, you need to divert. you need to go away. the key is was that a threat to the turkish airspace and turkish aircraft in the air? and truly, there's judgment and discipline that should have been exercised before turkey took the shot. >> so you believe turkey had other option, that turkey should not have shut down the plane? >> oh, absolutely. turkey had the ability to de-escalate at the moment.

if this russian aircraft was in attack posture, it would have already painted, as we say, it would have already gotten a radar signature off that f-16 and the sue coy would have engaged but that didn't happen. there are options that could have been exercised that could have moved that aircraft off of turkish airspace. clearly, the conditions on the region is that russian military provocation is not unusual. turkey should have exercised a little bit of what we call tactical patience. >> davide, in doing this because there are russian provocation, how much should the country take, yet, other analysts say that president erdogan of turkey say bit of a loose cannon. and that he's going to sacrifice nato for his own ability, how do

you see it? >> well, with respect to our view, it's a little difficult to understand from our vantage point what erdogan was doing. but in the broader picture, turkey has been moving in a greater direction. turkey responded terribly to the isis attack at a kurdish peace rally recently. after that happened, they blamed kurdish terrorists actually for carrying out that attack. and started bombing kurdish positions, including those in raqqah providence, isis capital, where the kurdish forces had been making advances against isis. so, the reason i bring this up, is because it's a very dangerous situation right now. on monday, i compared the situation to the start of world war i, where you had all of these powers who didn't want to prolong war. there was too much going on with the wrangling between the

various european states. right now, you have that situation that turkey could -- as the situation escalates invoke that under the nato agreement. turkey's agreement as an ally is what we do need to think about carefully. >> spider what could have the pilots have done, or could have the pilots have acted alone? >> the pilots could have acted alone, absolutely. the point that's being made if you're going to be provocative at the level, that seeps through the organization. if you want to exercise patience and caution, measure your response to what is routine provocations, that, too, gets pushed down through the organization. so what's at the bottom reflects what's at the top. so the pilots could have acted differently. alisyn, i need to say, i think it's very interesting that some analysts are indicating that certainly -- turkey had the legal right. but there's sort of a bellicose response to what we see

vis-a-vis russia. but then we hear this against isis. i look at this, we're going to be cautious against isis and bellicose against russia and incredible power. this is a difficult situation right now. i think we need to look, breathe our our nose and look at this through a filter of greater caution. >> spider, you have set us up perfectly for what's going happen in the 8:00 hour where we're going to have a debate between you and general hertling and what happened. we'll be looking forward to seeing you. pope francis joined thousands in kenya as he begins a six-day visit to africa. he's ditching his popemobile for a honda. we'll tell you more about his historic visit.

pope francis kicking off an historic six-day trip to africa. this morning, drawing tens of thousands for a public mass in

nairobi in kenya. what's next for the pope? robin is live in nairobi. >> reporter: 300,000 people arrived here at the university of nairobi for the holy mass. it was an electrifying event. when the pope arrived in his popemobile, the crowd went wild. yesterday, he stunned kenyans by driving a black four-wheel drive honda. a very humble vehicle. he's really endeared himself to the kenyan public. the people's pope feel a very strong connection with the pope, because he has done a lot, worked a lot with policies with a developing nation. the global south as it were. and as one expert pointed out, he sees the world from the bottom up and not the top down. i want to read you a tweet that the pope tweeted shortly after the mass here. he said may my visit to africa be a sign of the church's esteem

on this thanksgiving day, with all that is going on internationally, many here in the united states have concerns about safety. adding to the fear, isis released a new video making threats against several nations including the united states.

president obama, though, spoke out to assure americans there are no known threats. who better to discuss all of that than juliette kayyem at the department of homeland security. first of all, i appreciate you joining us on this thanksgiving day. i'm sure there are lots of things that you need to be doing to prepare the day for your family. but we've got to talk about this. this is absolutely in your wheelhouse, this new highly proud propaganda video from isis. adding to the list of places that they're threatening. showing flags of 60 nationsinvo. cnn, we should let you know, we're not airing this video. it's not so much threatening, it's more goading, the way they're disparaging our men and women in uniform, disparaging to try and battle them. >> and the sense that people are feeling is the consequence and

desire by isis by doing this. i will tell you, i've been in this field for a long time, even before september 11th, and if you judge people's concerns by the e-mails i get from family and friends should i go to new york, should i go abroad, it's pretty similar to how people felt in 9/11. i get it. i think the one thing to say, this is exactly the reaction that they desire for that. >> let's run with that for a second. so, that is -- that is what they're trying to do is instill fear -- well, it's working. it's terrifying to hear, especially when we know what they're capable of. so, how do we take this seriously yet continue to live our lives? >> well, i think that people need to sort of rethink our own safety and security. and that is -- that has never been perfect. and it's never going to be perfect. so, the whole point of counterterrorism efforts is to reduce the risk.

sort of support and protect areas that might be targets. so you're seeing that in new york today with the macy's day parade. with the police chief, commissioner coming out often, with obama coming out often. and talking about what we're doing to fortify areas that might be vulnerable like airports and the parade. and then the third is also to empower ourselves to prepare ourselves. whether it's talking to our families, having a plan. see something, say something. so, i think those three different ways of managing the unease that we're all feeling should bring down the temperature a little bit. and also, you know -- and for people to remember, well, things seem on fire around the world, and they are on fire around the world. the risk in the united states is very different than it is in europe. and people are working very hard today to minimize that risk. but we're never going to get it to zero. and in some ways, we have to begin to think that way and

engage ourselves in our communities. and the private sector in preparing ourselves for the risks that are out there. >> i like what you said about reducing the temperature. bringing down the temperature. and the president has been looking to do that, too. in fact, he took to the air waves to reassure americans. listen to the sound from the president. >> americans have been asking each other, whether it's safe here, whether it's safe to fly or to gather. right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland. >> so, we keep hearing this from authorities of a credible threat. we don't have a credible threat. what constitutes a credible threat? because the fact is, there was a propaganda video prior to paris -- there wasn't that kind of overt warning, so, how do we know? >> well, we're never going to be perfectly sure that something might not happen.

but in terms of the united states, it is very difficult for groups of terrorists to get here, join forces and plan an attack in the surveillance environment. in the immigration environment that we're in right now. in other words, the kind of attack that you saw in france that was, you know, sort of plans in belgium, included iraq and syria and so many other countries. that an ocean protects and you immigration and surveillance protects us. that doesn't mean that aren't lone wolves out there that haven't been inspired. that's why you hear see something, say something. be engaged. the only way that's going to stop is that if communities look around. to be honest, that is why all of this anti-islam talk that you're hearing in the political space is actually making us said iy

something. we need to say something. >> the 49 million of you taking a bus, plane, train, or any other vehicle on this thanksgiving weekend. joliet khiyam, thank you. and the other stars of the macy's thanksgiving parade are all pumped up and ready to roll. you see this is a live shot. you see people already getting into their winter gear. their mittens, their hats. >> this isn't as cold as yesterday. >> no, it's actually going to be temperate. thank goodness. we'll be bringing you all of this live, when we come back, we'll have a preview. heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever?

looks like it's nice for the parade. up next, donald trump is going after the media again. but this time, it's different. this time, he's going after a reporter's disability. our panel will discuss this next. people don't have to think about where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner

well, a republican super pac gearing up to launch a new round of attack ads against donald trump. the republican front-runner is not happy about this. trump's team now launching an idea of trump running as a third party candidate again. so, how serious is that threat? here to talk about this and so much more this morning, cnn senior political analyst and cnn political anchor errol louiloui. gentlemen, happy thanksgiving. trump is not pleased about the super pac boonding togeth ibondo after him. and thus far, you don't see them going after him.

there's a super pac supporting john kasich. and they have put together an anti-trump ad. and it is substantial. so, everybody sit back, get comfortable and let us play you a portion of this. >> i would like anyone who is listening to consider some thoughts, that i paraphrased from a german pastor. we might not care that donald trump says the government because they're not. you might not care that donald trump says he's going to round up all the hispanic immigrants because you're not. you might not care if donald trump says it's okay to rough up black protesters, because you're not. and you might not care if donald trump wants to suppress journalists, because you're not. well, think about this, if he keeps going, and he actually becomes president, he might just

get around to you. you better hope that there's someone left to help you. ♪ >> so, i was wrong, that is from the campaign. that is the kasich campaign stellar. errol, why is that at the moment. >> well, the club for growth, conservative group, they spent $1 million in iowa. apparently, that money was wastewaste ed. sooner or later, these groups if they keep throwing a million here, a million there, and they're trying this and that, what we just saw emotionally powerful and overwrought, i'm is not sure it's going to hit home with the voters in the mix. there's lots of different ads and issues. very heavy-handed in a lot of

ways. but sooner than later, one of them might hit the right combination and that's what's got trump worried. >> ron it might not hit the voters. but will it hit the donors or people inside the organization? >> in fact, "the washington post" pointed out today in a story, the amount of spending for trump is less given the lead and concern in the party establishment that he's unelectable. as we talked about yesterday, donald trump has a very passionate following. he's a big part of the republican party. but there's evidence that there is another piece of the party that is significantly alarmed by anything about him, his demeanor, his language. and someone like jeb bush standing up to donald trump is a way of auditioning for that wing of the party as i'm the guy that's most likely to stop this. going back to the first time point, whether there's the money to do this.

bush is the one who has it. so far it's been very tough on your excellent interview with him yesterday, he has not put that money on television yet. >> we want to talk about another thing that trump has done, on tuesday night, he's often gone after the media, if he's not happy about a story that somebody has done. he makes no bones about going after a reporter and letting him know his displeasure. he was doing that with a reporter from "the new york times." but what he was doing was different this time. because he was mocking this reporter. this reporter has a disability. this reporter has a chronic condition that limits the mobility of his arms. donald trump knows that. and is this how he attacked that reporter. >> right after a couple of good paragraphs, and talking about northern new jersey draws the prober's eye. written by a nice reporter. now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy. oh, i don't know what i said. i don't remember.

that's what i said. this is 14 years ago. they didn't do a retraction. >> well, is that okay? >> well listen, i have people in my family who have physical disabilities and so do you and do you and ron and everybody watching this broadcast. it's a disgusting for somebody to do from a public podium like that. it turns out that the kasich campaign was a little too early in that ad. they need to add to that. oh, yes, if you want a president who mocks the disabled, trump's your guy. sooner or later, this stuff will catch up with him. a very unfortunate thing to have to witness. >> but, ron, it seems that nothing catches up to him. is this going to? >> well, for trump supporters, this is an apocalyptic moment. the underpinning of all of that is the sense of society about

the demo graphics transforming the country. i reported that white christians supporting trump, demographically, the country is slipping away from him. and that justifies an any means necessary kind of approach to politics. that, i think, explains the intensity of the support. but i also think that it is limiting. because i think most americans believe the kind of us against them approach that he's pursuing is not the way to hold together what i call a kaleidoscope society. the intensity of the report is real. but the bigger question, what he does to intensify his hold also minimizing the reach within the republican market and the country at large. we're following a lot of news this morning, let's get right to it. >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> for a second night, demonstrators taking to the

streets. >> you can't shoot someone because they slashed a tire. >> he truly was in fear for his life. >> this was originally presented as an act of self-defense. and that was a lie. >> we are moving closer to a major war in the middle east. tensions are rising in the wake of turkey shooting down a russian warplane. >> turkey does have a right to defend its airspace. >> turkey is looking at ways to retaliate. >> law enforcement on alert across the country this holiday weekend. >> 3 million people expected to attend the macy's thanksgiving day parade. >> be vigilant. if you see something suspicious, say something. good morning. and welcome to a very special thanksgiving day edition of "cnn newsroom." breaking overnight, angry protesters hitting the streets in chicago over angry dash cam video of a white police officer

killing a black teenager shooting him 16 times. so the mood in the city is he tense, as the chicago police department warns its officers of a potential ambush against them. let's go to cnn live in chicago with the very latest. tell us what's happened there in the past few hours? >> reporter: we've heard people chanting "16 shots ""as they not only were marching through the streets. at several points were running through the streets. in fact, they came from the south side and went off to the north. they have blocked major intersections, and they say more is coming. [ bleep ]. >> reporter: a second night of unrest in two major cities, as hundreds of protesters return to the streets. [ bleep ]. >> reporter: from chicago to new york. demonstrators marching in frustration, over the shocking death of 17-year-old laquan

mcdonald. >> a violation -- >> reporter: police arresting several protesters in new york city. their passions spilling into the macy's flagship department store. in the heart of manhattan, in chicago, demonstrators stage a sit-in blocking a major intersection. some trying take police officers' bikes. this as newly released dash cam video is obtained by the chicago tribune captured the moment before and after 37-year-old jason van dyke shot mcdonald 16 times last october. this is officer van dyke's own vehicle dash cam. while out of focus, you can see mcdonald cutting across the front of this police car and passing a nearby burger king. moments later, about six seconds after getting out of his vehicle, officer van dyke begins to shoot the teen as he walked down the street wielding a

knife. continuing to fire even after mcdonald fell to the ground. just minutes later, this dash cam from another police car shows mcdonald lying on the street. the other officers at the scene never opening fire. van dyke's attorney says the officer was in fear for his life and says the videos don't show a complete picture, saying mcdonald was -- >> harassing business owners, waving a knife for about 18 minutes on a busy street. him stabbing a squad car windshield that was manned with two police officers inside there. >> reporter: late wednesday, president obama reacting to the deadly shooting saying he was, quote, deeply disturbed by the footage, and is grateful to his hometown for keeping protests peaceful. now, there's a christmas tree at the famous millennium park. and some protesters went inside of there, trying to pull the lights off the tree. that was stopped before their

efforts finished taking the lights off the tree. everyone is wondering what will happen on black friday. we know famous michigan avenue. the famous magnificent mile, folks say they will come up here and disrupt black friday. >> okay. thank you. we have breaking news overseas, turkey's president ratcheting up rhetoric in the heated dispute of the shootdown of a russian warplane. erdogan saying he would do it again if russia violates their airspace. >> reporter: what we're hearing, michaela, about 15 minutes ago, we're hearing from the turkish president, speaking to parliament saying, in fact, if they could go back in time and have this incident play out all over again, that they would shoot down that airplane. saying that they warned it up to ten times, over the course of five minutes, they released that

audio to the media. showing that they were warning that plane, although russia denies that. but this is also heating up in syria as well. in this area where the plane went down, russia carried out at least 12 air strike against rebel fighters. we're also hearing that there's an offensive on the way right now where they're shelling the air with mortars and artillery. this could be part of the retribution for downing that plane, going after turkish interests inside syria. but we're also watching what russia can do to turkey's economy. russia is the second largest trading partner with turkey. billions of dollars in tourism comes to turkey every year from russia. also, turkey imports 60% of its gas from russia. we're hearing from russia, that they are putting the squeeze on turkish imports of food products. about 15%, russia says, of the

produce that comes into russia, does not meet russian standards. so there's a lot of measures going on here, although we also heard from the turkish president that he hopes that cool heads can prevail. and that this will not ultimately destroy the relations between the two countries. >> absolutely, ian. thank you for all of that background. well, that american band that was playing in the bataclan the night of the attacks is speaking out for the first time. this as french president francois hollande meets with vladimir put vladimir putin tempting to persuade the president. let's bring in jim bittermann. >> reporter: good morning, this is part of a diplomatic marathon by president hollande, he's trying to drum up support for a really tight effort for the allies amongst the russians.

the russians said they want al assad to remain in power in syria. that's going to be an area of contention for the two. of course, this hollande effort is because of the shooting that took place in paris two weeks ago that killed 120 people here in paris. most of tell me they bataclan theater where is where the eagles of death metal have been playing. they've been speaking out to "vice" magazine what about the experience was like. >> there was a woman in front of me, it was scary because she was leaning -- you know, she got shot like right here. her upper side. there's nothing to do, except there was this guy, i don't know he was holding her, he was keeping pressure on her. she had a friend who was doing the same thing. and this guy was just trying to like keep her comfortable. >> reporter: just a horrifying

scene there, michaela. >> terrifying and horrifying. so powerful to hear that account from those young men. we send them thoughts of comfort. certainly, jim, thank you so much. joining us cnn military analyst and former chiefs of staff dispute direct retired air force colonel cedric leighton. also here, author of "isis: inside the army of terror." michael weiss. good to see you. happy thanksgiving. obviously talking about the ongoing rhetoric and ramping up almost like escalation. we just heard president erdogan of turkey addressing parliament saying, look, if russia did this again, we would react the same way again. russian president putin is saying that turkey should apologize. i don't know if they should hold their breath for that, it would

appear. is this going to escalate? >> i'm afraid so, michaela. happy thanksgiving to you. this is a huge mistake on the president in my point of view because ratcheting up the rhetoric and seeing that this doesn't happen again really doesn't allow for cooler heads to prevail. >> right. >> they need to look at what happened here. there are a lot of lessons to be learned just from a pure military perspective. how can you avoid this type of incident. that's the sort of thing they should be talking about. >> let me ask you quickly, we understand that the russian jets out the navigator said they didn't get a communication or warning. they also said they were only in the airspace for some 17 seconds. i want to did you, what would be the military protocol in a situation, and in an incursion, if you will, like that? >> normally, you don't shoot the plane down. if you go into airspace for 17 seconds, that's way too little time to actually have somebody

attack you. it's also way too little time for you to intercept that aircraft. normal protocol is to warn the aircraft away. and basically to go back channel and tell the other side that they've violated the airspace and they shouldn't do it again. now, i know the turks are going to say they've had this happen multiple times before. and that they've warned this aircraft specifically ten times. but this does not allow, under international rules it does not allow them to do what they did. >> peel back the veil a little bit and help us understand context really what's going on behind the scenes here, between these two flations. why would russia be in an area that isis wasn't necessarily operating in as part of the coalition effort. they didn't need to be there. turkey fires just after 17 seconds in their airspace. something sells going on. >> well, russia is not part of the coalition.

russia has dedicated most of its fire power. and it's awakening anti-isis. and the targets that they'd been bombing in that mountain pass were turkmen rebels. the turkmen rebels were almost certainly backed by intelligence. i'm very surprised it's taken this long for these two leaders to come to blows. if you look at the history of this syrian conflict. two years ago, turkey forced down a russian plane in ankrah. and in 2012, a reconnaissance plane which temporarily infail traited russian airspace was shot down. and the rural the rulers at the

i was there at the time, a russian technician. and look, there's another component to this, too. right after this incident took place, a search and rescue helicopter the russians sent, crash-landed. and then while it was sat on the ground, it was blown up with the anti-tank missile. the group that blew it up is called the first coastal division. they're a group of syrian rebels backed by the cia and turkish intelligence. they coordinate out of turn turkey. nato has got skin in the game, as you say. article 5, an attack on one is an attack on all. unfortunately, a rhetorical attack is not a rhetorical attack on all. putin has accused them of backing isis. >> given the fact that you have putin who is kind of a coalition of his owner and turkey with

president erdogan who clearly has his own battles that he's looking to protect and fight. how does the end game of defeating isis play into all of this? this becomes a much trickier proposition? >> well, look, it should be told, these are two countries that show the least willingness. with respect to turkey, it always has been and erdogan has spent more of his fire power attacking the kurdish workers party. and on occasion going after their syrian affiliate or sister party the pyd which has been doing the heavy lifting against isis on the ground. i mentioned that russia has little interest in attacking isis but rather u.s.-backed remembers. is this a cocktail of problems. >> it is not even a good cocktail. which we could all use one of those right about now.

we know that president erhollan will be flying to meet with president putin. our thanks to cedric and to michael. we wish both of you a safe and happy thanksgiving. alisyn. with the terror threat keeping much of the world on edge, president obama trying to reassure americans that the u.s. government is, quote, taking every possible step to keep the country safe, ahead of the busy holiday weekend. right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland. so, as americans travel this weekend to be with their loved ones, i want them to know that our counterterrorism, intelligence, homeland security and law enforcement professionals at every level are working overtime. >> president obama met with his national security team to review their security procedures and efforts to track threats.

chicago demonstrators hitting the streets for a second night over that shocking video of a 17-year-old black teenager being gunned down by a police officer. now, now vantage points of that deadly encounter have been released by police. do these new pieces of evidence hope or hurt the officer's case. here to discuss is legal analyst joey jackson. joey, good to see you. this is a horror story

particularly because the video is so disturbing to watch. we do have new dash cam perspectives. now, five of these videos have been released because of the freedom of information act. the media wanted to see these. we have a bit of compilation. the first one we saw that could be the shot, it's graphic. it's in the top left. the others as you see, the one in the top right corner is blurry. that's what happens before the police pull over. he's running around. they got a call. then the aftermath, and police officers milling around in the bottom shot there. does any of this change the perspective of what happened? >> you know, alisyn, it's always good to have as many perspectives as you can. ultimately, a trial is about getting to the facts. now, having a video certainly getting you there because people are very visual. and you're allowed to, you know, to certainly go over that with

the jury. i think it's about the interpretation of the video. with the defense making the arguments that they have. setting up the mind-set of the officer. what he knew, as far as having a screwdriver in his hand. saying my mind-set was such that i was in a heightened state of alertness believed myself to be in danger. and had to act accordingly. >> of course, they were in a heightened sense of nervousness. they were called to someone going around slashing tires. but still, the original video, the one that gives you the best view, is so troubling because he's not actually coming towards the police officers. >> see, that's the problem. i think what the prosecution is going to do, there's going to be a three-step analysis here. the first analysis will be to the immediacy of the danger. was he in immediate danger. did he appear for his life or lives around him? the videotape seems to suggest there was no lunging, no

approaching, no approaching from any point where he needed to shoot. >> it's very graphic, i do just want to warn everybody. but we do want to show it. this is what we're talking about. the original one, we see the police officer come up. he's walking down the middle of the street. obviously, it's erratic. their antenna goes up that something is wrong. he has something in his right hand there. they're very concerned. here's the police officers, he's not going near them. >> not near them at all. he's out of the car for a period of six seconds. there doesn't seem to be elongated communication that's going on. there's a use of force continuum. that would be suggestive of verbal demands. they're asking what you can use in terms of nonlethal. thereafter, if there's immediacy of the threat, then you have it. but the second would be the proportion nalt of the response. in other words, was the force used proportionate to any

threat. when you have someone firing and emptying 16 rounds, of course, and reports are, we see it from the video. he's on the ground after two seconds. and repeated shots, there's an issue of disproportionality. and the way you approach this is not reasonable from that officer's perspective. but reasonable from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene. here's why, alisyn, that hurts in tellers of the defense case. if you're talking about the reasonable perspective of officers on the scene, if there are eight others and none of them discharge their weapons, what does that say? but the issue is going to say what about the perspective of my client? my client was the closest to him as the defense attorney has suggested. but did not the officer put him in that position, could the officer act in an alternative way such as to preserve or protect life. it doesn't happen. >> you just said there's no audio. well, there should be audio.

because these dash cam videos are supposed to work, when they engage, the audio and video absolutely turns on. but there isn't any audio. the police says the batteries were loaded improperly, does it seem fishy that we don't hear any communication? >> attorneys always think that things are fishy. certainly, audio can lend another perspective. even in the event of audio, the sish issue is going to be, with the mind-set that the attorneys are talking about, he was on pcp, mr. mcdonald, the teenager, he was running around the neighborhood. at that point, should there have nat been some opportunity to allow the youth to comply. if the jury believes that the actions were unreasonable, they were unwarranted, there was no justification, guess what, he then becoming guilty of murder and that's a life sentence. >> joey jackson, always nice to

see you. a terribly troubling topic. a war of words right now between turkey and russia after that russian warplane was shot down? what mr. putin and french president hollande discuss when they meet? we're going to talk to a turk ki ish ambassador next. >> or your advisor ...to see how we can help make the most of your retirement savings. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor,

as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

turkey's president ratcheting up the rhetoric in the heated dispute with russia over the shootdown of that russian warplane. erdogan saying he would do it all over again, if he had to. this as french president francois hollande meets with rush's president vladimir putin. continuing to discuss the coalition with isis but how will it go in the wake of this plane incident? joining us this morning is ambassador james jeffrey, he's a former ambassador to turkey and a visiting fellow to washington. mr. ambassador, thank you for being here. >> thank you, happy thanksgiving. >> to you as well. do you think turkey was

justified in shooting down this russian plane? >> legally, yes. to figure out if this is politically wise, you have to look at the back story. turkey had an f-4 fighter plane shot down by the syrians, russia's allies several years ago. both pilots were killed. since that time, turkey has made it very clear it will not except incursions into its territory especially in the province where the shootdown occurred. turkey saw several incursions back in october, protested and the russians continue doing it and that's where we are today. >> now, russia, of course, 2 did not go over turkey airspace. turkey said that it did. turkey said it issued ten warnings to the pilots. the surviving pilot, one of whom was rescued, said he didn't get any warnings. obviously, there's a conflict. we've had our military experts on this morning, one of our generals, who said there are a

bunch of things that turkey could have done to de-escalate the situation. so, why didn't they try those options? >> again, turkey had tried those before. and it wanted to send a message to putin. russia has been provocative, not only against turkey, but all of the nato, for the last several years. and there's a long history of russian shootdowns, including american planes, that's crossed into its borders. again, turkey felt threatened by these russian actions. >> so, what do you think of president erdogan? we've heard analysts say he might be a bit of a loose cannon. and that he might be sacrificing nato stability. i mean, this is the first time that a nato country has shot down a russian plane at least since 1952. and he is sort of advancing his own agenda, at the dispense of the global community. >> there is -- you can look at it that way. i take a more balanced view.

sooner or later, putin, with his aggressive behavior, and everything he's done in syria, his aggressive behavior. and it is accompanied by nothing but lies. we know, the american military, that the russians were warned. they were warned ten times. we do know they crossed into turkish airspace. erdogan, i know him pretty well, he's in some respects a loose cannon. but turkey is in fact embedded in the west. it it cannot go off on ventures on its own. it cannot go off on false statements about what happened because it is plugged in thousands of electronic and other ways and we would catch them on a lie immediately. you're getting basically truth out of turkturkey. and you're getting 24nothing bu lice out of russia. >> so what happened? how did this change the equation today?

>> it's changed the equation superficially because it means that the shootdown is going to be harder to put together even a supernational nato alliance which is the primary purpose, box, paris has been attacked twice by islamic terrorists in the past year. and a third one, if the isis state, if you will, is not taken down in syria and irremark. so, he's looking for help. his main address is washington. he didn't get everything he wanted in washington. so, he's hoping that if he can get some commitments by putin, this would in turn pressure him -- pressure washington to act in -- on a more aggressive and more effective day. i don't think it's going to work, though. >> of course, putin wants to also fight isis. putin also has a rationale. they shut down the russian metrojet. why wouldn't putin be on board? >> first of all, putin is exploiting the isis threat to everyone, including russia, to

advance its core strategic interests, which is to form an alliance with the iranians, with the syrian government, and to expand militarily in the region at the expense of the united states and its alliance system. this is something that isn't good for us and isn't good for people of the region. but on the margins, putin will do a few strikes against isis. but he's not the answer to the isis campaign. america has somewhere webetween0 and 100 times more military in the region. the difference is we're not doing that. and russia is hoping a more military commitment could lend to united states upping its game, too. >> ambassador, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. donald trump coming under fire for mocking a report with a disability. could this be an incident that puts a dent in his armor? we'll talk about this -- ahead.

"the new york times" is slamming donald trump as the republican front-runner mocked one of their reporters with a disability. the reporter suffers from a condition that limits the movement of his arms. something that trump exaggerated at a campaign rally tuesday night. while defending -- trying to defend his fans that he saw thousands of muslims celebrating the fall of the twin towers. >> right after, a couple of good paragraphs, and talking about northern new jersey, draws the prober's eye. written by a nice reporter. the poor guy, you ought to see this guy, oh, i don't know what i said, i don't remember! he's going i don't remember! maybe, that's what i said. this is 14 years ago. he's still -- they didn't do a retraction. >> here to respond our senior contributor for the daily caller matt lewis. and cnn political anchor of

"times" news, errol louis. >> happy thanksgiving, matt, what was that? donald trump goes after a reporter, saying he doesn't like the coverage. that's not new. what did you think of that body language and that display? >> it's something new for donald trump. it's right in his wheelhouse. it's really sad. we've got this schizophrenic nation right now. we have a soort of lyniberal wo where people do a lost hand-wringing. on the other side, you have donald trump fans who, frankly, i think really don't care about decency or politeness, what i would call common decency. it's a sad call on our culture that i don't think this will hurt donald trump one bit. >> you know, errol, i wonder how this will hurt the press -- he's

essentially taken it, you can tick down a list. i know at all of us in organizations, we have thick skin. and you've asked politicians from time to time questions that they haven't taken timely to. >> sure. >> what do you think is going on with this mean-spirited cruel nature? >> well, everybody excepts this as a trade. i've been insulted, sued, barred -- >> of course. >> all of that stuff. but when you see this kind of petty guilting, that has nothing to do with anything. it's very personal. something we'd teach our children not to do. and to see the republican front-runners, the republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six elections. every family in america has somebody who are disabled in it. i think there becomes a time when people that are quiet in

the voting booth saying, do i really want to support this? he's mocking people the way they are mocking friends and co-workers, i think it turns into something very different. i wouldn't necessarily count that out as a factor even if the polls don't pick it up. >> in south carolina, they don't know this reporter. they thought that was donald trump being donald trump. there were times, issuing their own response to what they saw. they said we found it outrageous that trump would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters. matt, does donald trump need to apologize? does he need to respond to this? >> he won't do it. i'm glad to seat the media sort of standing up for their own. i think that's entirely appropriate. they should do that for their employees, for their colleagues. look, i think that this is part of who trump is. and there is a sense out there that the media is the enemy. amongst a certain corner.

and you have to stand up, that really there's a war. that the old conventions of politeness are out of window. i don't think that, frankly, that if you're a conservative that you should be standing up for things like humility and wisdom and prudence. and common decency. it used to be that we wanted -- talk about teaching your children certain values and behaviors. >> sure. >> is this not a good example. >> it's interesting there's a new poll -- we should also point out that donald trump has leveled his sights against "the new york times." >> right, he's been tweeting up a storm this morning. >> focusing on good reporting and the papers financial survive and not with constant hits on donald trump. >> it points to, perhaps, errol, a potential reason, we've been talking about what it is that donald trump is speaking to and capturing in the nature. i want to pull up this poll. very interesting. 79% of republicans think their

party's on a losing side when it comes to issues that matter. is this -- i mean, is this so significant to me that 79%. do you think that that could work both ways? >> well, it does, yes. >> if they feel like they're outside of the political conversation that might plake one disillusioned voter. >> that's right, there are lot of disillusioned voters. for donald trump, they support him not because he's the most effective or has the best experience or the most trustworthy, but because they think he can win. because they think he can win. that's the question that people have to answer -- do you think this is the way to win? trying to talk about deporting 11 million people. or watching a black protester get beat up. and sort of urging that from the podium. mocking the disabled. on and on and on. if you think that's the way to get to the white house, and you're a very frustrated voter who thinks that policy hasn't worked for you, you have to make

a real hard choice whether this is the horse to ride to get to where you want to go. >> that's not why they response. they respond because they feel he's a success. >> let's keep in mind, in this case where he's mocking the reporter, this is the reporter who disposed i thought pretty conclusively that there was a complete fabrication that came out of trump's mouth. we shouldn't get distracted about that. but he was lying about the thousands and thousands of of people who have cheering agency the world trade center fell. this is the reporter to exposed that. >> happy thanksgiving. real compelling to hear from these young men. they were on stage when the terrorists opened fire at the bataclan. the death eagles. >> i opened. the hallway, that's when i saw the shooter turn on me.

the barrel hit the door frame. and i was like oh [ bleep ] -- (vo) some call it giving back. we call it share the love. during our share the love event, get a new subaru, and we'll donate $250 to those in need. bringing our total donations to over sixty-five million dollars. and bringing love where it's needed most. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions-- it matters. ♪

we're hearing from the american band eagles of death metal, on stage at bataclan concert hall when the terrorists stormed. band members recounting screams, gunfire, bloody people. listen to the chilling, firsthand account they gave us of what happened. >> when the shooting started, like, a threw down my bass, hid for a second behind the curtain, the monitor desk, and immediately people started pouring through, a door to get up to the stage. >> on your side? >> yeah. >> people are coming in. steve, our tour manager, he was there the first person i saw that just the look on his face of like, we both had the same thought of, you know, he was like, there's no exit over here, he's trying to tell people that, you know, like --

>> you're just trying to get out. >> everyone's running, everyone's going up into this room, you know, just to escape the gunfire, you know, naturally, instinctively, from my perspective. i see the shooting, see it. i see, you know, pops go off, lights flashing, sort of dive over and then just have to make that decision of whether do i really want to run across the stage or do i want to go in this room, hope for the best? so i went in the room with a bunch of people, a bunch of people helping each other to get up there, holding on, let's like, you know, we're in this. as soon as we get there, there's a p few people shot, bleeding, we started grabbing chairs to barricade the doorp there's a mini fridge. and someone had left a bottle of champagne in the room for like a post-show thing, we had that to use in case -- >> as a weapon?

>> yeah, that's it that's all we had. there was a woman in front of me who -- it was scary because she was bleeding, you know, she got shot right here on her upper thigh and there's nothing to do except -- there's this guy, i don't know, you know, he was holding her, just keeping pressure on her, and she had a friend who was doing the same thing and this guy was trying to, like, keep her comfortable, i mean, and her -- her blood was running out on the ground, and there was -- there was a leak, for some reason, but the whole room was starting to get flooded, and we were worried because water -- i mean it was like up to here, covering our shoes. started trickling down the stairs, and then -- we were worried maybe that would alert someone, hey, there's people in the room. the gunfire got closer. it went on for, you know, 10, 15

minutes, it just didn't stop, then it would stop, there's a sense of relief and it would start up again. and there was an explosion, just shift the whole room, probably the whole building, you know, and of course we didn't know what that was, we didn't know if someone's trying to bomb the place or trying to maybe blow up the whole venue or what. >> what was it? >> one of the -- it was -- yeah, i found out later. >> suicide vest. >> yeah. >> so, jesse, you were looking for your girlfriend tuesday? he's going off stage right, you're going off stage left. he's going off behind the drum riser. what happened to you. >> i ran up, i didn't see her on stage i ran up to the dressing room, i threw the door open she wasn't in there i opened up the hallway door, that's when i saw the shooter, and he turned on me, brought his gun down, and the barrel hit the door frame and i -- i was like, oh

[ bleep ] and i turned around -- i could tell, people were following me, you know, this is a situation where everyone's looking for the place to go, you know? and i realized that -- i was like, no, no, no, no, do not [ bleep ] come this way. and we started heading back d n down, and we got to that door and i hadn't seen tuesday, and julian got out in front of me, and i was -- i was like -- he was standing and with me. if you think about, you're like, what the [ bleep ] dude? it's like let's move, let's go. but i didn't know what to do. but when tuesday saw julian, and i heard her voice, i knew she was cool. >> he is so traumatized. why wouldn't you be? that is the most horrific thing no human should ever have to experience. >> people don't realize it went

on for 15 minutes. sometimes these things happen, burst of gunfire, it's a few horrible, traumatic seconds then listen and hid for 15 minutes. >> we want to show you this image, it's really powerful. it's from the stage, looking at the crowd before the attack. these were young people, excited to see this band, they were fans of, following, people from all around the world there to see this concert and this was taken before. you can see the joy, happiness, the energy in that crowd. >> gosh, just the crowd. all right. we'll leave it on than that note. following a lot of news. let's get right to it. hands up! >> second night of unrest, hundreds of protesters return to the streets. >> we saw like a killing and coverup, and both lead us to questions. >> video shows laquan walking away, he was not threatening

anybody. >> it doesn't show quite a bit. it's limited video. >> this is going to be a long, long, long battle. >> new fallout from turkey shooting down the russian jet. >> no one can predict what vladimir putin may decide to do. >> it's not in the interest of either country to see this escalate. >> we are moving closer to a major war in the middle east. law enforcement on alert across the country this holiday weekend. >> you'll never have 100% confidence in what's going on. >> we are taking every possible step to keep our homeland safe. >> good morning, everyone. happy thanksgiving. welcome to a special thanksgiving day edition of "cnn newsroom." thursday, november 26, 8:00 in the east. overnight, more unrest in chicago. protesters marching over the video of a police officer firing 16 shots at a black teenager, killing him. this, as four more dash cam

videos offer new perspectives on the moments leading up to the 17-year-old's death. >> meantime, chicago police department is warning its members of threats of an ambush from a gang enraged by laquan mcdonald's death. cnn's ryan young live in chicago tracking developments for us. ryan? >> reporter: to be honest, people are very ainge gi about this. we saw more energy in the streets last night. we are on michigan avenue, people came from the south side up michigan avenue, up the magnificent mile, stopping traffic all around the route. >> [ bleep ]! >> reporter: a second night of unrest in two major cities, as hundreds of protesters returned to the streets. >> [ bleep ]. >> reporter: from chicago to new york, demonstrators marching in frustration over the shocking death of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. >> violation of new york state. >> reporter: police arresting several protesters in new york

city. their passion spilling into the macy's flagship department store. in the heart of manhattan, voices raging. in chicago, demonstrators stage a sit-in blocking a major intersection. some trying to take police officers' bikes. this, as newly released dash cam rid yos, obtained by "the chicago tribune," capture the moment before and after 37-year-old jason van dyke shot mcdonald 16 times last october. this is officer van dyke's own vehicle dash cam, while out of focus, you can see mcdonald cutting across the front of his police car and passing a nearby burger king. moments later, about six seconds after getting out of his vehicle, officer van dyke begins to shoot the teen as he walked down the street, wielding a knife, continuing to fire, even after mcdonald fell to the ground. just minutes later. this dash cam, from another

police car, shows mcdonald lying on the street. the other officers at the scene never opening fire. van dyke's attorney says, the officer was in fear for his life and says the videos don't show a complete picture, saying mcdonald was. >> harassing business owners, waving a knife for about 18 minutes on a busy street, him stabbing a squad car windshield that was manned with two police officers inside there. >> reporter: late wednesday, president obama reacting to the deadly shooting, saying he was, quote, deeply disturbed by the footage, and his grateful to his hometown for keeping protests peaceful. we also saw some protesters try to rip christmas lights off the tree that's there. there's also plans for something to happen here on black friday. look, magnificent mile's behind me. of course black friday sales happening. people said they're going to

disrupt the sales here. you can see the energy changing. the first night, though protesting it remained peaceful. you hear people's anger ratchet up. >> you can be vocal if you're angry, you don't need to be destructive with anger and that's something community leaders are hoping protesters and demonstrators will adhere to, right? ryan, thanks for that. breaking news overseas for you. no signs of tensions easing between russia and turkey days after turkey shot done a russia jet. turkey's president saying he'd do it again if the same circumstances present themselves. the latest. strong words from the turkish president. >> reporter: that's right. basically doubling down on that incide incident, saying if he could go back in time, he'd do the same thing over again, insisting that russia owes turkey an apology. this happening while they released the audio message of that warning to that russian airplane, telling it to turn

south to veer away. now russia's saying they didn't get any audio message, as well as saying that they did not violate turkish airspace. on the ground in syria, we are seeing russian forces and allies going after rebels supported by turkey. russia has carried out at least 12 air strikes in the area where the plane went down. there's also heavy shelling from mortars and artillery by the syrian army. also there's a lot of talk about punitive measures to turkey's economy. turkey -- russia is turkey's second largest trading partner. turkey gets 60% of its gas from russia. russian tourists bring in $4 billion a year, a lot of money there, turkey saying that what happened in the skies over syria should not translate to the economy but it doesn't look like putin's ready to forgive and forget. >> okay. ian, thanks so much for all of that background.

so, did turkey dangerously overreact in shooting of the russian jet? joining us now, two military experts of opposing sides. general james "spider" marks, cnn military analyst, now the executive dean of the university of phoenix, he says yes, they did over react. cnn military analyst and retired army former commanding general of europe, ma mark hertling say. we thought it would be interesting to have you two duke these out. i will refer you to your titles to put you on even playing field. why do you say they were justified in doing so? >> well, good morning, alisyn, happy thanksgiving, first of all. second, great to have dueling generals and friends and west point classmates. the first question to ask, does a 17-second turkish border incursion justify deadly force?

no, it does not, if taken alone. in this case, we have both the law and the facts on turkey's side, the law, first of all. article 51 of the u.n. charter says, any kind of attack into a country or a foreign incursion justifies the use of force. but there are mitigating circumstances in this. there were multiple russian incursions into turkish airspace over the last month, number one. number two, russia flew a uav into turkish airspace and it was actually shot down. number three, about a week and a half ago, a mig 29, russian fighter, painted two turkish f-16s for over four minutes, giving them the fear they had locked on weapon system. that's number three. and number four, on november 19th, the turkish government called the russian ambassador into ankara and said, we have seen you crossing our airspace multiple times, we have seen you strike turkman forces in syria,

knock it off. there was a warning. those are facts of the cases and there's a whole -- those are the legal aspects. there's a lot of facts that go with that, too. mr. putin has done this repeatedly. he has done this not only to turkey but other nato allies and the turkish -- sorry the russian media has a propensity to have a distance from the truth and is lying about what actually happened. >> there you go. general marks what does your friend and former classmate get wrong about this scenario. >> classmate forever, mark hertling is a very dear friend. the facts, as mark laid them out are absolutely spot-on. the challenge that i have is that at this time, irrespective of those facts, that litany of occurrences that took place, turkey had an option to de-escalate. we don't need to be provocative against russia, and russia is routinely provocative with the use of its military force, not only against nato but in the region where we are right now. they're there seems to be

potential confluence of interest that we could possibly have with russia vis-a-vis isis. s that a possibility. evidence is, is that that would be a very, very hard road to go along. but i find it ironic that we have a nato partner that would take everyone in nato into a potential hot war with russia. we've not been in a hot war with russia. we don't want to be in a hot war with russia. but would drag nato into potential hot war with russia at the exact time when we have an issue with isis, and if we were to converge against isis, we would have the likelihood of eliminating or at least ameliorating the problem there and not escalating a problem with russia ha has nuclear capability that we have historical animosities against, we have an opening to cooperate, and we're starting to close that door. that's my larger concern. >> general hertling, i want to ask about the 17 seconds. if there was a -- some sort of

jet that was over u.s. airspace for 17 seconds, would u.s. shoot it down? >> well, again, i go back to the argument, alisyn, and first of all, i agree with everything spyder is saying. this could not have happened at the worst time. russia has been tweaking not only turkey's nose last several months but nato the last year or so. go back to the statement you just made if it was 17 seconds over alaska, probably not. we would likely escort it out of territory very quickly. but again, you look at the extenuating circumstances and the repeated violations by russia in nato territory, that's got to be considered. if this happened multiple times over the united states, and the united states had warned russia knock it off, we might just shoot it down as well. again, territory integrity is very important. >> general marks what about that? you've even said they've had repeated provocations, russia has. what are countries like turkey supposed to do about that?

let it keep happening? >> again, what do we want to achieve as in-state. short answer to your question might be, yes, you let it continue as long as it's not provocative, you acknowledge it, escort it, create a corridor and then have diplomatic options to go back and say, look, we've got to cut this out, we cannot allow this to occur. this is not the time, this is n inopportune for us to be in some type of a provocative arrangement with russia. we haven't read -- we haven't read the indicators right now relative to isis where a strategy should be changing and right now we're trying to return to russia and poke them in the eye. that's not what we want to do right now. we've got to be able to de-escalate. we've got to breathe through our nose and approach this in a far more measured way. we can't afford to have a strong man in turkey say, i'm going to stand up to russia, you guys can't, you've not done this, we're going to stand up to

russia. this is not the time to do this that. >> general marks -- >> alisyn -- >> quickly. >> spyder makes an important point, repeatedly nato has not stood up to russia. turkey has take continue on themselves to not be intimidated by that, this might be a good thing. remember, too at early stages of this, the united states came to russia and said, let's cooperate and coordinate on airspace and russia said no, we don't need that, we're going to operate where we want to. they are now paying the price for that. >> gentlemen, you both make excellent points and far too friendly to each other and respectful. thanks so much. >> apologies. >> thanks, alisyn. happy thanksgiving. >> to you, too. >> let's hope world leaders can have that warmth with one another. french president hollande make facing his most diplomatic challenge, sitting down with vladimir putin less than three hours' time in moscow attempting to convince the russian

president to concentrate air strikes in syria solely on isis while comps mying on a solution to the syrian crisis. jim bittermann. >> reporter: both of those issues are tough ones for the two presidents to talk about. basically the west has said for some time now that russia is not concentrating its air strikes on isis, hitting isis targets, but only in minority compared to the number of other anti-assad targets that they're hitting. and of course, russia wants to defend assad, they want him in power, that's the political part of the equation. the west would like to see assad and hollande has said he wants to see assad out of there just to show you how complex these diplomatic dance is, both putin and hollande will be here in paris on monday for the climate change talks with vienna, as well as president obama and 147

total leaders will be here talking about climate change. this is something that everybody would like to get on board with, at least to some measure, at least seen getting on board with. the kind of talks going on in russia today between hollande and putin, they may be on the sidelines of what happens here next week, when the climate change talks start. i think a lot of people worried one is going to influence the oerp pull one thread, it's going to have an impact somewhere else down the line. we'll see how this all goes next week. it's a terrible thing to have happen right after the horrific attacks here, horrific terrorist attacks and french security forces have a problem on their hands defending these 147 leaders and keeping them safe. >> so challenging. jim bittermann, thanks so much, from paris. president obama doing his best to reassure americans celebrating thanksgiving holiday that we are safe. the president says there are no credible threats and law

enforcement and homeland security officials are ready for anything. joe johns live at white house with more. good morning. >> good morning. you know, this is really just an acknowledgement by the president of the united states, national security team, that americans are thinking, talking, wondering if it's okay to travel, okay to get on a plane, okay to gather together. so, the president meeting with the security team, including the director of the fbi, the attorney general, the secretary of homeland security. coming into the roosevelt room, sort of a show of force to give a calibrated message to the american public. the united states government is looking out for you, be safe, be vigilant, and just go on about your thanksgiving holiday business. listen to what the president said here at the white house. >> right now, we know of no specific and credible

intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland. so as americans travel this weekend to be with their loved ones, i want them to know that our counterterrorism, intelligence, homeland security, and law enforcement professionals at every level are working overtime. >> reporter: even though they say there are no credible threats that they know of here in the united states, there are a lot of concerns abroad, after paris, egypt, beirut, and tunisia yesterday, many concerns. as you know, there is that worldwide travel alert for americans to be vigilant. >> that's right. joe, thank you so much for that, have a happy thanksgiving. to that point that joe made, british prime minister david cameron making his place to parliament for the uk to join the coalition launching air strikes this syria. britain launching strikes in iraq. prime minister cameron trying to convince members of the british parliament any strikes are unlikely to end in civilian

casualties. the house of commons expected in a few weeks. the federal government warning states they cannot legally block the resettlement of syrian refugees. the federal office of refugee settlement sending a letter to all state resettlement agencies ordering them not to deny benefits and services to refugees based on religion or country of origin. texas officials refusing. they say they will not participate in the resettlement of syrian refugees. president obama once again keeping a turkey off the thanksgiving table. pardoned 18-week-old 40 pounder from california. abe, another turkey, honest in an online vote. both will live out days on a virginia farm. want to show you something interesting. look how much the first daughter, sasha and malia have grown up since the turkey pardon. left side is 2009, first turkey pardon. right side is currently.

they have grown so much. >> even the little one. >> i know. she's quickly overtaking her big sister. some republicans looking to take the president's place, trying their hand at a turkey pardon. >> i think you're so beautiful, you should pardoned. >> i'm pardoning it for being ugly. it agrees. >> i hope you don't grow upset at me but we roast one the normal way. and the others, we fry them. >> is there somebody whose job to grasp the turkey's legs and hold it still? where is -- >> uncomfortable. ben carson, marco rubio, carly fiorina looking to show off lighter sides in time for the holiday. >> fantastic. >> bad image. >> well, i'm glad it doesn't -- that could have gone wrong fast. working with animals, they will overtake. >> meanwhile, the breaking news overnight, there was another night of protests in chicago,

after releasing video showing the police shooting death of a black teenager. what do the 2016 candidates think about this incident? we'll get their reactions, next. what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org.

big day?

ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern.

protests continue in chicago, over the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old. now, a number of 2016 candidates weighing in. the issue appears to be an area

where democrats and republicans, perhaps, are in agreement. joining us this morning cnn political commentator and political at time warner cable time errol louis. i swear we'll let you have an hour, eat the turkey, have another nap after you eat the turkey. let's play sound. jeb bush, alisyn had an interview on new day, reacting to the story ongoing death of the 17-year-old in chicago. let's listen to some sound. >> there's a rising tide of violence in big urban areas, chicago has an extraordinarily high murder rate. tough to be a police officer when they do what appears to have happened here, they should be charged as was the case in this case, and the fact that there was protests but no violence in chicago is a tribute to the people of chicago. >> zeke, interesting to hear a measured response from jeb bush, typically we've seen democrats and republicans sort of take different tacts on police

shootings. >> certainly. this is one of the examples of republicans, a, being confronted, seeing video evidence, seems to be incontroh vertable on its face and them taking that, not wanting to be on the wrong side of the issue, expand their repeal in black hispanic communities, cops first mentality, which we've seen a lot from republican politicians over the years, tough on crime stance. certainly re-evaluating criminal justice reform in general, the change in relationship between police and law enforcement system and communities they serve is something that both parties are in broad agreement on. it might be one thing that can get done in congress in the next year. >> jeb bush said a few different things, a few different points in there rising tide of violence in big urban areas, we've heard republicans talk about that, why isn't that getting more attention. we see the sort of isolated incidents that get a lot of attention but not the rising tide of violence. tough to be a police officer,

everybody agrees with that, that this officer should be charged, and he was happy there weren't protests. but truly, is this the purview of the president or is this what mayors deal with? >> needs to be a national solution to this. i adisagree with what went on in chicago. i don't see a happy ending. that video we've been showing over and over was in the hands of prosecutors and police a year ago and only the release over their objection, when ordered by a court, only then did they charge the officer with murder. they had all of the evidence, and there's a question why it wasn't prosecuted. >> is that something the president should be weighing in on. >> at the national level, absolutely. in this case you have a compromised local prosecutor, a mayor playing politics with this, a police force that needs to, at a minimum, be investigated. that has to be done at state level, national level. there's a law out there, i've been talking about this a while now, supposed to have the u.s.

attorney general put out a report annually to congress, on the books for 20 years, how many people are killed by police. never properly funded and never enforced. something of this -- >> why? >> congress refused to fund it. local departments, and there are thousands across the country, they don't keep the numbers in the same way. so there needs to be some standardization, needs to be order placed on this and it has to come from washington. this is not something that they continue to -- they continue to sort of use these -- they try to get past it a couple of talking points and get to the next debate. we've got to solve this. and that is what the presidential candidates should be talking about. >> another presidential candidate sounding off, bernie sanders, as one might anticipate, firmly the other way, calling criminal justice reform the civil rights issue of the 21st century. curious how you think this issue is going to play in the 2016 campaign, how central will it be to the conversation? >> you know, when we see bernie sanders saying something like that, it's a very smart position

for him politically, he's having trouble reaching out to the african-american community, somewhere where hillary clinton has long and deep ties and she's in that contentious primary, she's doing better so he's trying to one-up her in a certain sense on that side broadly in 2016, it's an area where all candidates are held into account. you know, when it's -- last six month, eight months, a year, there have been three, four, five, seven, ten, major national conversations around this issue. and there's no sign of it going away. and candidates are constantly going to have to find a way to address it and certainly when it comes to those debates, when it's a democrat or republican on stage next fall, you can imagine several questions on this subject, and their answers are going to have to be in lock step with american public, some sort of change. there may be disagreements how necessary it is. >> you're wondering, perhaps, where is trump in all of this?

he has not said anything specific about the shooting in chicago, but he claims he is going to, today, get the endorsement of some 100 black pastors and evangelicals today. that is going to be enough to undue damage, anti-minority damage that he's done? >> not at all. this is not something that you can do away with with a press op. it took us decades to get to this point. there's a lot of bloodshed, misunderstanding, a lot of lawsuits. untangling this is will tack a while. it's a big national conversation, as zeke points out. but we can't just do it when there's blood in the streets and with a photo op. it's going to take something more concentrated. that's what we need to see from protesters and from the police unions, from the mayors, from the congress, and certainly from the next president. it needs to be -- this is a big, big deal. i think bernie sanders is right about that point. this is a big, big, deal. it's going to take time it's

like an onion, you come up with one difficult issue after the other the minute you peel apart race, crime, disorder, and sort of the cities and the relationship to the government. it gets very, very, very tough. >> zeke, errol, we release you now. >> like pardoned turkeys. >> true. they should stay close. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> happy thanksgiving. russian president vladimir putin set to meet with french president francois hollande, the pair expected to hammer out a unified deal, somehow, to defeat isis or at least try to. but how will things play out after that russian jet was shot down?

turkey's president refusing to apologize for shooting down that russian warplane in an exclusive interview with cnn, he insists russia violated his country's airspace and should be the ones to apologize. will this derail talks with talks of vladimir putin who meets with the french president

hollande in order to talk about the fight against isis we have with us, aaron david miller, he joins us, president for new initiatives and distinguished scholar for the woodrow wilson center. great to see you. happy thanksgiving. >> same to you, alisyn. and michaela, too. >> great. let's talk about turkey's stance. to turkey is digging in, they are certain, they say they have evidence that russia violated airspace and shooting down the plane was justified. what do you think? >> i mean, you've got two authoritarian leaders adept at maintaining themselves in power with enormous egos, larger than life figures in their own conception and their own mind. the more this ratchets up publicly -- that's what happened, stab in the back, refuse to apologize -- the more stress it's going to put on an effort, determined effort by france and the united states to test a proposition that what happened in paris, really was a quote/unquote proverbial game

changer and can be used to convert a coalition effectively, not just against isis but against political solution to ease bashar al assad out of power. the fact is it's a notion of a grand coalition, grand design, already showing signs of serious strain. >> even if russia violated turkey's airspace, there's believe, some suggests it was 17 seconds. even it was a provocation, evidence suggests it was. we've had military experts on who say turkey didn't need to escalate. they should have de-escalated, for the sake of nato stability. >> i mean, i think for the sake of nato stability, for the sake of rational policy. all politics, tip o'neill said, alisyn, is local. president erdogan has objectives and motives. he's tired of a pattern of

russian violation of syrian airspace -- excuse me, turkish airspace. tired of the fact that putin is committed to supporting assad. he's tired of the fact the russians have been bombing turkmen, syrians of turkish extraction, and he's determined, under criticism at home for allowing the syrian turks to be hammered by the russians and by assad. so he decided rather than make a difference in the fight against isis and assad, he decided to milwaukee a point. is it wise? no, it not wise. but it reflects different, fundamentally different objectives and agendas that exist in the punitive grand coalition, and that not just, by the way, between turkey and russia. it's true with respect to u.s., russian and french as well. >> does this change objectives for meeting with president hollande and putin? >> i think the meet willing probably come out okay, but i

think you're talking about galactic reduction in expectations here. the notion that somehow french president -- remember, you have two presidents meeting, two countries, over the last several weeks, attacked by isis directly or isis affiliate. you'd think, frankly there could be a coincidence of interest to energize both to cooperate. the problem is, the problem is that putin has different objectives than france and the u.s. in syria. intervention to try to get - sanctions relief, he wants to use it to strengthen the russian hand in any final settlement and give him leverage over assad or the next syrian military leader. so that russian interests will be protected. hollande has a commitment to destroy isis and to demonstrate to the french public that he's capable of retaliating and

preempting additional attack. i think they'll try to put the best face on it but i don't think you're going to see coincidence of interest on what to do about assad, how to ease him out or how to ramp up russian pressure against the islamic state and syria itself. >> you don't think, after today, after the meeting, there will be some announcement, yes, we will increase air strikes on isis targets? >> i mean, there may be. look what happened after the hollande/obama meeting. french president spoke in great detail, you would think, how they're going to ramp up military operations. neither side is -- french or americans are willing to deploy ground forces. and neither side, right now, are willing to use military pressure against bashar assad. as i mentioned, i think you will see a brave front put on today's meeting but i wouldn't predict any dramatic turns and twists in

russian policy, despite hollande's determination to try to bring putin into this -- into the coalition he's trying to build. >> okay. aaron david miller, always great to get expertise, particularly on this holiday. thanks for spending it with us. >> have a happy happy thanksgiving. >> you, too. he said it, it's thanksgiving. that means we're minutes away from the start of the 89th annual macy's thanksgiving day parade. the people are lining, the route, the balloons are hot, weather is not but a beautiful day in new york city. we'll take you live to all of the excitement, next. people don't have to think about

early, wearing a turkey suit and having a strong platter, the way to get on tv. >> yeah. >> 3:45, bright and early. >> reporter: people from the uk, from ohio, from florida, from arizona, from across the country, even right here, i want to show you, this is a mom from mumford, tennessee, whose child is marching in the band. >> right. >> excited? >> excited. happy to be here. >> reporter: worried about security? >> not at all. >> reporter: nobody is. they are very excited for the parade to get going. great, perfect, perfect day for parade. >> wonderful. they stole our costume idea. we were going to do a turkey outfit. we had to get his altered. all right. thank you for that. five things, number one, more unrest in chicago. people marching over the video of white officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. four more dash cam videos of the fatal incident have been released. pope francis in kenya, an historic six-day trip in africa.

in panama, which is a city of roughly 2 million people, we are having 5,000 new cars being sold every month. this is a very big problem for us with respect to fast and efficient transportation. it's kind of a losing proposition to keep going this way.

we are trying to tackle the problem with several different modes. one of them is the brand new metro. we had a modest forecast: 110,000 passengers per day in the first line. we are already over 200,000. our collaboration with citi has been very important from the very beginning. citi was our biggest supporter and our only private bank. we are not only being efficient in the way we are moving people now, we are also more amicable to the environment. people have more time for the family and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences to hear people saying: "the metro has really changed my life."

into ladies and gentlemen, 2015 cnn hero of the year is maggie doyne. >> every year, cnn honors everyday people making extraordinary contributions around the world. one of them becomes our hero of the year.

this year, you, the viewers, chose a young woman who as a teenager used money she saved baby-sitting and turned it into a way transform the lives of children in nepal. in a star-studded event in new york city, maggie doyne awarded cnn's hero of the year and maggie doyne joins us now. great to see you. >> hi. >> what was that moment like when you're your name was announced? >> when anderson cooper said my name, i think every girl in america wanted to say that name. i was so happy. surreal. >> i bet it was. let's talk about your life and your history for those who aren't familiar with it. you went backpacking if nepal as a teenager when you were 18, and you saw things that so troubled you that you changed your life as a result. what did you see? >> well, there's one dry river bed in nepal and i had to cross it every single day, and there were dozens of children breaking rocks and that was the reality

morning till night for a dollar a day. they were selling them. and i thought to myself, i can't go back seeing what i saw, and i wanted to change it. >> you were a teenager from new jersey. so how did you decide that you were going to put that -- those feelings, which are natural into, action? what did you do next? >> i think being a teenager from the suburbs of new jersey really helped me because i could see just how different the realities were. and i thought, i can give these children the childhood that i had and i want to give them that gift and make it more equal. >> you called home and you asked your parents to send your baby-sitting money. how did you go from getting that baby-sitting money into being the adoptive mother of 50 kids? >> it was slow and it took time and it started with one child and then there were five and then there were ten and i kept putting these caps on the numbers, kept going up and up and up.

i don't know. it's -- i wouldn't have believed you if you told me this would have been my life. but i'm so happy. it's different. >> it sure is. most teenagers don't go and transform their life like that and take on the responsibility of being an adoptive mom and starting a school and starting to help educate. so now, when you see what's going on in the world with refugees, you see what's going on with the terror that we've seen, how can you maintain a positive outlook amid that? >> i think it all comes down to children and if children aren't being raised with love and having their most basic needs met, we see these cycles of poverty and violence continue because children need to be loved and they need to be educated and i think it all comes back to education and children really needing to be raised in a family environment and -- >> how have the lives of these children changed as a result of you getting involved? >> oh, my kids are the happiest

children on earth and when you walk in, you see children playing with their marbles and flying kites and making meals together and there's music blaring. it's a home. and it's a family. and that's what makes it special. you don't know that they're orphans or what kind of tragic histories they had. you just see joy and love and laughter. >> had you not had that epiphany or desire when you crossed that river bed and saw kids working and gotten your baby-sitting money what would you have been doing with your life now? >> probably gone the traditional route, college. we kind of have this path that we're all supposed to follow. that would have been me for sure, would have gone the traditional path. >> but you have such a different life now and transformed lives of so many kids and we were so happy to honor you as our cnn hero of the year. what a pleasure to talk to you. >> thank you. >> tune in to cnn heroes,
