and i thinkhat is the reason, george, we don't have the bigge numbers we could have had inside that concert hall. because people were able to get out the exits. >> what you have often sand and others have said. in a public place like that, ahead of time, know your exits. >> absolutely,robin. the key is, youon't have to be paranoid. you walk into a room, a mall, a school, wherever it might be. look around. happened. it's about raising your awareness so that becomes automatic as you move around. >> brad, when does it make sense to attack? we remember the story of the americans on the train who brought down the attacker. wh does it make sense? >> when you kno you'ree going to you? a pen, a pocket knife, a bottle? whatever you have and this is when numbers are imrtant. if you have three or four people

around you, everybody go at him. because whato you have to lose if he's got a weapon pointed at you. the key is, distraction, go for his face, eyes, grown.in. that ishe last resort for you. >> first thing, always go if the exit whenever you can. paris is still a city on edge. panic at several sit where peopople had come together to remember the victims of fray's takes. matt gutman has more on that from paris. matt? >> reporter: lara, the frerench are showing the stiff upper lip. presenting courage. beneath that, it's a tremendous amount of fear. we were at one of the bgest stampedes yesterday. a plaza filled with people emptying. you looked at the faces o the peop, they thaubl they were

overnight, panic triggering stampedes. mass of humanity trampling carefully laid people reels. the biggest of the five reported stampes happenedd right outside our hotel. outside, chaos. right now, serve running. they're saying, leave, leave. let's see what's going on. running for their lives. crouching under restaurant tables. doing anything to protect themselves. we saw police taking positions, aiming their rifles. those officers who are armed have taken up sition. moments ago, this entire square was filled with hundreds, maybe thousands of people. it's been entirely emp tid. we heard screams and crs. people fleeing the area. still don't know what's goi on. in this man telling me, watch out for the police. they'r jittery after not sleeping for days. many caught underfoot. including this man. medics arrived soon.

false alarms triggered by the sound of firecrackers. you have to wonder why anybody would set off firecrackers in paris w. there's a significant security threat in the city. lara? >> all right, matt, thank you so much. those feelings of fear and concern are not just isolated to pari people are concerned all around the world. joining us to talk about how the cope with them in psychiatrist dr. janet taylor. soood to have you here. >> thank you. >> cannot imine. can't begin to imagine what it must have been like to actually have been there. even if you were not there, the fear that many of us have and it just plays with your mi. >> it's real. our brai are wired to constantly assess for our safety or whether we should flee. you have a horrific ent happen. that puts you on edge most of us have witnessed or suffered or been exposed to trauma.

belts, kw where the fire exits are. keep it where they are. convey the sense that things are uncertain. here are ways to be safe. teach them from an early age how to balance themselves when they feel anxiety. share yourwn times when you have coped and found healthy resources and help them, too. >> age-appropriat is so important. it's didn't for different ages. >> it is. and certainly, they're exposed to thingsith smartphones and television. we think that because they're exposed, they know on a certain level. keep it simple. answer in a way that doesn't care scare them, but informs them. >> we were talking at how we cope. we're all being inundated with all the information. viewers, us. things like flying. i never worried about. but need to tomorrow.. m scared. you know?

it's important to acknowledge the feelings. not what you're thinking but t feelings. focus on what your strengths are. if you need to talk to somebody, call a friend. if you need to pray, pray. if you need to talk to a therapist, talk to a therapist. exercise. find support. cope in healthy ways. do the things you like to do. realize you're not alone. these, for the most part are smallvents that happen. we have other dly disruptio and traumas that happen in our ves. most of us are safe. and thank goodness that we are. >> that's so helpful. we hope it helped you at home as well. thank you. thank you so much. and we also have weather headlines that we have to get to this morning. dangerous winds in california. moving through much of the west. in san francisco, the airport reported close to 50-mile-per-hour gusts. flash flood watches in place from northeast texas, louisiana,

taking at least 75 mill grams of zinc within the first 4 hours of the first cold symptom will help you get over the cold 40% faster. zinc strengthens your immune symptom and stops thehe cold virus from milt pliing.

that the women's gender is an important part of the story. in the way that the universality of the love story, witnessing people falling mly in love for the first time, it's got a broade connection than that. >> it't's beautiful. in a recent interview, rooney mamarara said she was terrified of working with you. you weree her idol when she was going to the theaters. what was the chemistry like between the two of you? >> it's not something you can plan for. we did a loft research about the period and the book and the characters. that stuff is the magical stuff that you hope the camera's catching. because todd haines, we worked together on the bob dylan film. he and rooney hadn't worked together. it was a threesome, as it were. you don't know until you see the final product what that chemistry translated. i hope it did. >> it certainly did.

larry will be there. >> i'll be there with the boy. asking all your questions. >> and you saw hge games on friday. >> umb's . >> everyone getting ready for the finale. and elizabeth banks opened up to rachel smith about what it's like to be part of this matsdsive hit. >> everyone will want to kis you, kill you, or be you. >> reporte far from the district, in the heart of times square, lies the hnger games exhibition. what do you make of all of it? >> it's remarkable. a walk down memory lane, for sure.eyes bright. chins up. smiles on. >> reporter: i metet up with effie, aka elizabeth banks. >> those are works of art. it was a collaboration between an architect and a shoe designer. >> what are you doing here?

>> reporter: she reflects on effie's return. the films were a departure. effie was m.i.a.sely with our french partners as they pursue investigations and track down suspects. france is already a strong counterterrorism partner. we're streamlining the process by which we share intelligence and military operation with france. this will allow our personnel to pass threat information to our french partners. we have to protect against more attacks and protect our citizens. tragically, paris is not alone.

by isil in beirut, last month in ank ra, and routinely in iraq. we have sent a message here at the g-20. waer united against this threat. isil is the face of evil. our goal as i have said many times is to degrade and ultimately destroy this bar bashicbash ic -- barbaric organization. we have a strategy to use all elements of our power. military. economic. development, the strength of our communities. we have always understood this would be a long-term campaign. there will be successes. the terrible events in paris are a setback. as we grieve with our french friends, however, we can't lose

sight that there has been progress being made. on the military front, our coalition is intensifying our air strikes, more than 8,000 to date. we're taking out isil leaders. commanders. their llers. we have seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground, isil can and is pushed back. so local forces in iraq backed by air power liberate d sinjar. iraqi forces are fighting to take back ramadi. we have stepped up our support of opposition forces working to cut off supply lines to isis strong holds. so in short, both in iraq and syria, isil controls less territory than it did before. i made the point to my fellow leaders, that if we want this

people need to step up with the resources this fight demands. the attacks in paris remind us it will not be enough to defeat isil in syria and iraq alone. here in antalya, we've committed to sharing more information and stepping up efforts to stem the flow of foreign fighters in and out of syria and iraq. as the united states showed in libya, isil leaders will have no safe haven anywhere. the best voices to discredit i isil's warped ideology. on the humanitarian front, our nations agreed we have to do more individually and collectively to address the agony of the syrian people. the united states is the largest done donor of aid to the syrian people.

we're donating additional supplies including clothing and generators through the united nations. the u.n. appeal for syria has less than half the funds needed. today, i'm again calling on more nations to contribute the resources this crisis demands. in terms of refugees, it's clear that countries like turkey, lebanon, and jordan, which are already bearing an extraordinary burden, cannot be expected to do so alone. at the same time, all of our countries have to ensure security. as president, my first priority is the safety of the american people. that's why, even as we accept more refugees, including syrians, we do so after subjecting them to rigorous screening and security checks. we have to remember many of them are the victims of terrorism themselves. that's what they're fleeing. slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our

our nations can welcome refugees desperately seeking safety and ensure our own security. we can and must do both. finally, we have begun to see some modest progress on the diplomatic front. which is critical because a political solution is the only way to end the war in syria and unite the unite the syrian people and the world against isil. the vienna talks mark the first time that all the key countries have come together, as a result, i would add, of american leadership, and reached a common understanding. with this weekend's talks there's a path forward. negotiations between the syrian opposition and the syrian regime under the auspices of the united nations, a transition toward a more inclusive representative government, a new constitution followed by preelections and alongside this political process a cease-fire in the civil war even as we continue to fight against isil. these are obviously ambitious goals.

hopes for diplomacy in syria have been dashed before. there are any number of ways that this latest diplomatic push could falter. there are still disagreements between the parties including most critically over the fate of bashar assad who we do not believe has a role in syria's future because of his brutal rule. his war against the syrian people is the primary root cause of this crises. what is different this time and what gives us some degree of hope is that, as i said, for the first time all the major countries on all sides of the syrian conflict agree on a process that is needed to end this war. and so while we are very clear-eyed about the very, very difficult road still ahead, the united states in partnership with our coalition is going to remain relentless on all fronts, military, humanitarian, and diplomatic. we have the right strategy and we're going to see it through.

questions and i will begin with jerome cartillia of afp. >> thank you, mr. president. 129 people were killed in paris on friday night. isil claimed responsibility for the massacre, sending the message that they could now target civilians all over the world. the equation has changed. isn't it time for your strategy to change? >> keep in mind what we have been doing. we have a military strategy that involves putting enormous pressure on isil through air strikes that has put assistanc and training on the ground with

iraqi forces.
