"world news" anchor david muir in paris and we begin with brian ross on the breaking news in russia. good morning, brian. >> reporter: the russians this morning said the evidence was unequivocal it was a bomb and a big one that brought down the passenger jet. and russian president vladimir putin promised swift and severe

retribution. the head of the russian version of the cia said it was an analysis of key parts of the plane and baggage that turned up trace evidence of an explosive device. by the russian estimate, the bomb was huge with the equivalent power of more than two pounds of tnt that caused the jet, with 225 people on board, to break up in midair over the sinai ses ert. the director of what is called the ssb presented his findings this morning to president puting, saying it was unequivocally a terrorist act. putin then faced the cameras and vowed to track down those responsible for the murder of the people in the sinai. "we will find them at any point on the planet," he said "and we will take retribution." isis claimed responsibility for bringing down the jet within hours of it happening. and putin vowed to use the full russian military might against the bombers. it is believed to have been an inside job at the

airport from which the jet departed. and this will focus attention on security procedures at airports around the world, including the united states. russia this morning offered a $50 million reward for information on those responsible. and overnight, according to the u.s. military, the russians conducted an aerial bombardment of the isis headquarter city of raqqah, syria. the strike included sea launch cruise missiles and long-range bombers, george. >> they had not gone a other gr. but now he's going to be ruthless. thanks very much. now to those attacks in paris and the hunt for the most wanted men in the world, the eighth attacker and the mastermind behind it all. neighboring belgium where the attacks were believed to be hatched raising its threat level. abc's terry moran is in belgium again for us this morning. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you know, investigators keep turning up traces of where the terrorists were. an apartment rented just a couple of blocks that way. a car rental not far away. and in the paris suburbs,

another apartment rented by one of the suicide bombers. police raided that place. they didn't find guns or money but sim cards. they are looking for the rest of the terrorist crew all around the world. >> police. >> reporter: overnight a multiagency multicountry manhunt intensified. on the hunt right now for the world's most wanted, 26-year-old salah abdeslam, the suspected shooter in the paris cafe and restaurant attacks. and 28-year-old abdelhamid abaaoud, he's believed to be the architect of the carefully h coordinated massacre. this morning, we're learning more about their connection. the two had reportedly lived just blocks from each other, here in molenbeek. and were once in prison together. overnight, abdeslam, also the brother of another paris attacker, one of the suicide bombers, speaking out. saying he and his parents had no idea what carnage the to were plotting or where his fugitive brother is. we could never have imagine that one of my brothers could be linked to the terror attack. the international dragnet

launching over 300 raids, 120 just overnight. targeting suspects in france, italy, germany, and belgium. leading to over 20 arrests and dozens of weapons seized. late monday, french forces raided homes and buildings in the northeastern city of strasbourg following a reported sighting of abdeslam. but it was a false alarm. french investigators now reportedly focusing on identifying the maker of those sophisticated suicide vests used in the attacks. concerned more attackers might strike. a final depressing note belgium authorities now admit to abc news that they were aware of both the abdeslam brothers, including the fugitive being hunted across europe. they were aware they had been radicalized. and they were aware both had tried to go to syria. but they judged neither one to be a terrorist threat. robin and george. >> so disturbing they were aware of all that. >> very similar to the "charlie hebdo" attacks, as well. we move on as terry said

france launched raids across the country last night and more air strikes against isis in syria, as the french president bows to can te industry to the terror group in a joint effort with america and russia. more on that from "world news" anchor david muir in paris. good morning, david. >> reporter: george, robin, good morning. those overnight raids all part of an emergency anti-terror crackdown throughout paris and even in the suburbs. and as you heard terry report there, they discovered one of the homes that had been rented by the attackers. the eighth attacker on the run, and his old brother. in fact, this morning, it's been reported that the woman who rented the home described them as calm, nice and that they told her they were on business from belgium. meantime, at this hour new video just now emerging from french national police overnight going door to door. this morning, new pictures emerging of french police going door to door, fighting back against the terror. [ knocking on door ] the french military launching a series of strikes on the isis stronghold of raqqah targeting and destroying a command and training center using ten jets and 16 bombs.

this morning, president hollande meeting with secretary of state john kerry, after he touched down in paris monday night, lighting the embassy in the french national colors. >> the level of cooperation could not be higher. we've agreed to exchange even more information. >> reporter: on monday, president hollande declared them at war with isis. extending the state of emergency for three months and calling for stricter border control, heightened security measures and the power to strip citizenship of convicted french terrorists with dual nationality. and paris still picking up the pieces. overnight, the eiffel tower now lit in the french national colors. michele saline moving here two months ago with her family. from california. she remembers the 9/11 attacks vividly and now the paris attacks here. >> you have to stay strong. we can't cower to terrorism. we have to continue on with life. >> reporter: here outside the bataclan theatre, a police presence as workers cleaned the bloodied sidewalks. and new images of the smiling concertgoers inside that hall

friday night just moments before the terror began, the theater owners telling abc news "no word is enough to express the magnitude of our grief." while 165 people remain hospitalized, this photo now going viral, offering a glimpse into an emergency room friday night as doctors and nurses here worked tirelessly to save lives. we do know that those doctors and nurses were called in immediately across the city to report to duty on friday night. all the hospitals were filled with staff that had been called in. in the meantime, president hollande in the last 24 hours requested a parliament here. an extension of the state of emergency in france for three months. if they grant that, which they likely will do, george and robin, that will bring him extra powers for continuing raids like the ones we saw in the overnight hours here. back to you. >> david, thanks so much. a lot more tonight on "world news." >> here at home officials say there is no imminent threat but security is heightened as you can imagine following the attacks in paris. and that new video from isis threatening a similar assault on washington, d.c.

abc's pierre thomas is in washington with more on that, good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. with that new video calling for an attack here in d.c., and the revelation this morning that isis appears to be responsible for killing nearly 400 people in a span of a week between that russian plane, the beirut bombing, and the nightmare in france, concern about their capacity here in the u.s. is only going to grow. on the heels of the massacre in paris, this stark warning from the cia director. >> i would anticipate that this is not the only operation that isil has in the pipeline. i do believe that this is something that we're going to have to deal with for quite some time. >> reporter: a new video from isis seeming to confirm that, vowing to attack the nation's capital. as we struck france in the center of its abode in paris then we swear that we will strike america at its center in washington. law enforcement taking no chances, overnight u.s. park police increasing their presence at iconic monuments.

>> i want you to know that our city is coordinating at the highest levels. >> reporter: d.c. residents and tourists on edge. >> it's a sobering reminder of where we are today. but it's where we've been, really, since september 11th. >> reporter: on d.c.'s metro system, more surveillance. the message to the public? if you see anything out of the ordinary, call your local police. >> it's something that you'll know when you see it. you know, the hair might stand up on your neck and we encourage all riders to report something if they see something suspicious. >> reporter: if you want to know just how intense this moment truly is, today the fbi director and homeland security secretary will conduct a rare joint classified briefing with all the members of the house. robin? >> pierre, what else are you hearing? how concerned are u.s. officials that a coordinated attack like we saw in paris could happen in our nation's capital or any other american city? >> reporter: authorities say there is no imminent threat but make no mistake. this is a high-tempo moment. in many ways, the isis threat is unique.

look, the fbi arrested more than 70 suspected isis sympathizers in the last two years. dozens this year alone. there's never been a concentrated spate of al qaeda arrests like that. bottom line, isis is finding support here every day, robin. >> pierre, thank you. we move to the news from paris. it's ignited a backlash against syrian refugees settling in the united states. more than 2100 syrians have already come here. and now, more than half the country's governors say they do not want syrian refugees allowed in their states. and there are moves in congress to block president obama's plan to admit more refugees. jon karl has that from the white house. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. the fact that one of the paris attackers apparently got into france by pretending to be a refugee has sparked strong opposition to the president's plan to bring more syrian refugees here to the united states. at a press conference in turkey, president obama said the united states has a moral responsibility to take in some of those syrians fleeing the violence in their country. >> the people who are fleeing syria, they are the most

vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife. >> reporter: the president called for increasing the number of syrian refugees alling the nr of syrian refugees allowed into the united states from 1600 last year to up to 10,000 this year. but more than two dozen governors are now saying the refugees are not welcome in their states. >> we don't want to become like europe where they let all these refugees in. >> we'll do all within our power, all that's humanly possible to resist these syrian refugees that are being forced upon us. >> reporter: most of the republican presidential candidates agree. >> anyone with an ounce of common sense would say no. we should be resettling them humanely in middle eastern countries that are majority muslim. >> so they go and fight for isis and they come back into our country. and we accept them back. and at some point they won't be going away. they'll be shooting us here. >> reporter: jeb bush said some syrian refugees should be allowed with a priority given to christians.

>> they're being slaughtered in the country. and but for us, who? who would take care of the number of christians that right now are completely displaced? >> reporter: the president disagrees. >> that's not american. that's not who we are. we don't have religious tests to our compassion. >> reporter: the obama administration said there is no reason to fear the syrian refugees that are coming into the united states, saying that they are some of the most vetted and scrutinized people entering the country. and, george, they also point out that more than three-quarters of the syrian refugees coming here are women and children. robin? >> jon, thank you very much. >> victims of violence. >> yes. now to that powerful storm sweeping across the country responsible for dozens of reported tornadoes. look at that large twister in texas overnight. the storm also causing a blizzard, dropping up to two feet of snow in some areas. ginger has that. >> robin, it is impressive to see it on the radar and satellite. almost to mexico. almost to canada. the large expanse of this robust

21 reported tornadoes touching down in kansas. pelting drivers with golf-ball-size hail and damaging some homes. the weather tossing this 18-wheeler across slick roads. at least three more tornadoes reported in oklahoma. so far, no injuries or fatalities have been reported. that line of storms moved through dallas, fortunately just before the morning commute. plenty of rain, as you see behind me. but no real report of severe weather here. now, let's join my friend and colleague, clayton sandell, who is in denver this morning. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning to you, ryan. a lot of snow fell overnight. some areas getting slammed. with already 15 inches of snow. and it's still coming down. the big problem here this morning is the wind. 60 miles an hour in some places. knocking visibility to zero.

some drivers are stranded on roads and highways shut down. schools are closed. if you happen to be flying, the denver national airport says about 150 flights have already been canceled. the system is expected to push through by midday. by the morning commute is already a nightmare. >> clayton, we'll see the severe weather to the east. little rock, hot springs and shreveport all in that risk area. we'll be covering this all morning. george. >> okay, ginger, thanks. we'll bring you a major protest over a police shooting in minnesota in 30 seconds.

15 months old. he won't grow up with his mom. what will you tell him about her? >> yeah. i think that is probably one of the hardest things in the whole process is knowing that he's not going to grow up with amanda. she was the perfect mom. i wish every mom in the world could have learned from her. i wish every wife in the world could have learned from her. we'll have so many stories for him growing up. >> pastor blackburn, thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, charlie sheen reveals his health crisis and how he hid it.

[bell chime] ting

back now with sarah palin, the former governor of alaska and republican vice presidential candidate has a brand-new book out of devotionals called "sweet freedom" full of daily reflections on life, politics and faith. good to see you again. >> thank you so much. awesome to see you. >> i love all the pictures we have, the montage behind you of your family. >> yeah. >> we were showing all the places we've been over the 40 years. i still remember wasilla, alaska, going there a few years

ago to be with your family. >> you were such a good sport. out there on the snow machines, you know, geared up. >> you got to do it. >> tough woman. you are. >> it is a beautiful book. i told you my family we've read a devotional, streams in the desert, for many, many years. i want to talk to you about that. you made news over the weekend. you said you would be willing to run again. what is it -- what would it take to get you back into politics and you have an eye on any particular office? >> no particular office but what it would take is knowing that the american public would be ready for, again, someone going rogue, you know and calling it like they see it. and having the experience that they believe could be put to good use in the name of service. if i really felt that that was there in terms of support and, you know, i'd be more than willing to serve. >> yeah, that's how you've always -- looifd your life, like that. >> yeah, yeah. and also, you know, living my life, putting it in god's hands knowing that you just never know what door may be open. and if a door is open, i'm built

to run through it. man, charge through it and live life vibrantly and do all you can to help others. >> that's what you share in the book, sarah. you do that and don't shy away from any topic. >> right. >> just yesterday on the program we were talking to a doctor about fear following the paris attacks. and that even if you weren't there, that there's this fear with terrorism and that and you touch upon terrorism in your book. how do you help people get past those feelings? >> i do and i touch -- that's what makes the devotional different. i talk about these topical issues, the issues of the day and how in scripture, old and new testament, we can find the answers and solutions to the challenges we're facing on a day-to-day basis, when it comes to fear. we're given promise after promise from the omnipotence of god telling us fear not, put this in my hands, he tells us, kind of like, maybe my mom, probably your mom told you at

the end of the day, go to sleep, give it to god. he's up all night anyway and dump your fears and your challenges on him and knowing that he will provide. he will provide answers for you, but he expects us to take some action and do something with the answers he provides and he doesn't drive parked cars. you know, we need to get out there and take some action to help others. >> i love the phrases. our family motto when fear knocks let faith answer the door. when fear knocks, let faith answer the door. >> like something my mom would say too. >> a mommyism but fear has also gripped some governors here in this country. because they're saying, because of one of the attackers coming through syria having that, that they don't want syrian refugees. and many governors have said in this country, no. as former governor, do you agree we should not allow syrian refugees in this country? >> well, these governors, they're our first line of defense, though, when it comes to making sure that the people that they're elected to serve are being protected. because on a federal level,

we're -- i believe that the american people aren't feeling that protection coming from the top that they deserve to feel that we are doing anything and everything that we can to make sure that the bad guys aren't going to fulfill their threats. and we have these recent threats specifically against washington, d.c. that isis wants to come over here and destroy us. well, a lot of the governors are saying, okay, well, what can i do within my authority as a state official to make sure that the people are protect snd to make sure we know who is coming into our state? to make sure on a practical level, how it is that we would even be able to fund the services that these refugees would need. and these governors are being very prudent in their hesitat n hesitation, their caution that they're taking before they're saying, hey, any and all, come on in when there's not a vetting process. >> that's what they want -- everyone wants a better vetting process. before you go, the book, you touch -- you don't hold back. >> right. >> that's what we expect from you. and you talked about the

challenging year that you have had aging parents, you know, losing a job, just various things. is that the reason why, why now did you want to put this all down? >> i've always wanted to write a devotion. and this is based on years of journaling, too. but kind of a specific period of time when it rains, it pours. you know, and i believe that god does that to us and allows some things to happen in our lives in order to prepare us for whatever is next. so that we're kind of, you know, geared up and equipped and ready to do what the next step is. and it's not just me. it's everyone. plato said be nice to everyone because everyone is fighting a battle. everyone has a challenge out there. so just wanting to encourage people to don't be fearful and to live life vibrantly. if you're seeking answers to all these challenges personally and politically, you're going to find them in the word. >> we can't wait to see what you do next and it is extremely uplifting. i wish we had more time. >> well, thank you so much for the time. >> no, we got to get an extra hour on this program. "sweet freedom: a devotional" is

available now. up next a great deal and steal from tory. come on back come happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him.

a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta.

here with tory johnson we are getting ready for our "40 for 40" live stream event. you got the memo. you got 40 deals in 40 hours all under $40. >> you got it. can you beat that? >> hard to beat. >> pretty amazing. what's really fun we are bringing back a lot of "gma" viewer favorites plus some new surprises so i think everyone will have fun once they tune in. >> if you don't know the answer forgive me. do you know what the most popular item you ever had was? >> well, i would say very recently we just did barbie dolls and jawbones, hugely successful. but quite frankly, earrings and handbags, hard to beat those. >> they go out the door. >> i mean, they all go out the door. i know, the west coast is sometimes not my friend. but we're saving things for you
