as 47 million americans are getting ready to head out of town for the holidays, the state department issued a worldwide travel alert. it says that holiday gatherings could be among the targets of terrorism. homeland security correspondent jeff pegegs has more about thehe alert and what law enforcement is doing to protect you. >> reporter: the alert warns u.s. citizens to exercise particular caution during the holiday season. it says terror groups such as isis and al qaeda continue to plan attacks using conventional and non-conventional weapons. while officials say there is no credible threat to the u.s., there will be more security at the nation's 500 airports this thanksgiving travel week. transportation security administration workers who typically process 2 million people a day will see a 40% increase in passgers over the holiday. scott brenner, a former faa spokesman, says the screening
1:59 am
process begins before a passenger gets to the airport. >> our airport security is not designed to catch somebody right as they're getting on the aircraft. it is designed to start checking people as soon as they start to look for that ticket. >> reporter: passengers are scrutinized for how they pay for a ticket, what route they are taking and whether it's round trip or one way. once you make it to a security checkpoint, expect a more thorough screening, even tsa pre-check passengers may have to take their shoes off, and police are asking passengers themselves totoe more aware. selili scwingle was flying out of washington today. >> i think it's excellent that people are a little more aware. sometimes we get a little too comfortable in our own settings and we don't really pay too much attention to what's going on. >> reporter: and it's not just the airports, in new york nearly 50 additional police officers will patrol major rail hubs. in a show of force in new york city yesterday, police ran

2:01 am
gloating about the paris attacks. but as offensive as the group's propaganda is, they don't lie. abdelhamid abaaoud, the presumed ringleader of the paris terrorisis, popped up regularly in isis videos, ananhe openly boasted that after fightininin syria, he'd been able to reenter europe and buy weapons and even slip through police checks. francois heisbourg is a security expert and special adviser to the french government. >> that should set alarm bells ringing. >> he is almost taunting them. >> yes, he was taunting them. he was taunting them. [gunfire] >> reporter: for french security forces, the paris attacks exposed dangerous flaws. >> we have been thrown the gauntlet in the most humiliating manner. >> reporter: the bottom line is that france'police simply
2:02 am
radicalized young men already flagged, including battle hardened ones who come back from syria ththugh the leaky borderer of europe's poorer countries. and once they're in, they're in, able to live and travel around freely as most of the paris attackers did. france is now pushing for much tougher immigration controls and better information sharing, but most crucial, france needs to double spending on its own domestic intelligence services, says heisbourg. >> hiring young men, young women with the right sort of linguistic skills, technical skillsp.r. skills, communications skills, not simply the traditional police skills. if we don't do that, this is going to happen again. >> reporter: and, scott, two more victims of the attacks were buried today. they were sisters who were gunned down together on the terrace of a paris cafe. >> elizabeth palmer in paris for us tonight.
2:03 am

2:04 am
today brussels' normally bustling historic city center was showing the effects of the stringent security measures. but salah abdeslam, europe's most wanted man and key suspect in the paris attacks, is still on the run. after evading french police, he was last seen in belgium. several of the police raids carried out in molenbeek, a local man says there is growing resentment amongst the large muslim community living there as they feel stigmatized. "you have 100,000 people," he said, "who will live as if they were potential suspects of terrorism." because of the concern that the police crackdown could backfire as the community feels abandoned. "they are residents of molenbeek," he said, "a place in which jihadis and suicide bombers are believed to lurk, so residents are rightly concerned for their own safety." even if abdeslam is captured,
2:05 am
necessarily over. belgian police say they are hunting for what could be as many as ten men plotting to lalach paris-style attacks here in brusssss. >> debora patta covering for us tonight. debora, thank you. with three simple words. my name is chris noth and i will listen. from maine to maui, thousands of high school students across the country are getting in on the action by volunteering in thehe communities. chris young: action n ams of high school students are joining volunteers of america and major league baseball players to help train and inspire the next generation of volunteers. carlos pea: it's easy to start an action team at your school so you, too, can get in on the action. get in on the action at actionteam.org. 'cause you'll be in my heart
2:06 am
from this day on now and forevermore... narrator: if animals are our best friends, shouldn't we be theirs? visit your local shelter, adopt a pet. you'll be in my heart no matter what... cbs cares. if you were a hippie in the '60s, you need to know. it's the dawning of the age of aquarius. yeah, and something else that's cool. what?
2:07 am
osteoporosis is preventable. all: osteo's preventable? right on! if you dig your bones, protect them. all: cbs cares! in our cbs news poll out tonight, 36% of americans approve of president obama's handling of terrorism. that is down from 72% right after u.s. forces killed osama bin laden in 2011. only 23% of americans believe the president has a clear plan for dealing with isis. his strategy includes air strikes in iraq and syria, and david martin tells us the latest targets include oil. >> reporter: two air strikes, the most recent over the weekend, have destroyed almost 500 tanker trucks isis uses to smuggle oil and sell it on the
2:08 am
by one estimate, the attacks have destroyed roughly half the trucks isis uses to bring in $1 million a day in revenues. until now the u.s. has not gone after the tankers for fear of killing the civilian driversrs in these strikes, u.s. planes first dropped leaflets warning the drivers. and then they conducted strafing runs to scare them away. the u.s. has also loosened the rules on civilian casualties. previously a strike would be called off if any civilians were spotted in the area. for these, more than five civilians had to be in the target area before the strike would be called off. the e ench have now begun launching strikes against isis from an aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean. and the russians have fired a total of 42 cruise missiles against isis targets in syria. cutting off oil revenues will degrade isis, but the quickest way to defeat it on the battlefield is to seize its capital of raqqah in syria. the red line on this pentagon
2:09 am
map shows how close u.s.-backed fighters are to raqqah, just 30 miles s the north and 100 m mes to the east. s. officials say the fighters to the north don't have enough combat power to take raqqah and the fighters to the east must first push south to seize a key road junction before advancing on raqqah. the fighters will be assisted by 50 american green berets, but they are not expected to get there until next month. think of it as a race against time, scott. can u.s.-backed fighters seize raqqah before isis can launch another terrorist attack against the west? >> david martin reporting from the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. in the presidential campaign, donald trump's recollection of 9/11 is being called into question. rival ben carson backed him up until he didn't. nancy cordes has that. >> i watched in jersey city, new jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was
2:10 am
>> reporter: donald trump's claim that he saw footage of muslim americans celebrating 9/11 attacks was disputed today by fact checkers, by new jersey officials and by law enforcement. but not by his closest rival, dr. ben carson. >> did you see that happening, though, on 9/11? >> i saw the film of it, yes. >> in new jersey >> yes. >> reporter: carson later apologized, saying he was thinking of celebrations abroad, not at home. but both he and trump argue muslim-americans should be monitored more heavily. it's a marked departure from the republican party's last president. >> islam is peace. >> reporter: who quoted from the koran after 9/11 and called for tolerance. >> thesesects of violence ainst innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the islamic faith. >> reporter: fran townsend was president bush's homeland security adviser. why was it important for him to say something like that?
2:11 am
in muslim countries, who have helped in the war on terror. we need those folks to understand, this is not a war with their religion. >> reporter: she argues republicans should welcome well- vetted syrian refugees to the u.s. for one key reason: >> these refugees who are fleeing isis who don't agree with them are a potential real treasure trove of intelligence. >> reporter: townsend said she's surprised president obama himself hasn't made that case. scott, our poll shows as of right now, half of americans agree with trump that the e refugees should not be let in. >> nancy cordes, thanks. iran has sentenced "washington post" reporter jason rezaian to prison, but it did not say for how long. rezaian is a dual citizen of u.s. and iran. he was arrested in july of last year and charged with spying on iran's nuclear program.
2:12 am
allegation. today one of america's largest companies, pfizer pharmaceutical, said it will merge with a rival and move to ireland to beat u.s. taxes. the merger with allergan will form the world's biggest drug company if government regulators approve. the move will cut the corporate taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars. this is the biggest move yet in a trend of u.s. companies moving their headquarters abroad. drivers are paying some of the lowest prices for gasoline in a long time. the nationwide average tonight is $2.07 a gallon. that's down 75 cents from a year ago. aaa predicts that could drop below $2 by christmas. stormy weather could interfere with a lot of travel plans for drivers. and it seemed obvious the quararrback suffered a concussion, so w w did they let him keep playing?

2:17 am
"60 minutes" just last week he believes the league is safer than ever. >> i do believe it's safer, but injuries are part of active sports. and they're certainly part of otball. fofoball is a contactsport. >> reporter: on sunday, however, after this contact, no one had keenum properly checked off the field until after the game, when a concussion was confirmed. the nfl says tonight it is investigating. rams' coach jeff fisher just held a news conference. he said he didn't see his quarterback stumbling and that the spotter above the field saw a trainer on the field so didn't stop play. he says the trainenewas told to leave the field by an nfl official. everyone seems to be pointing in a different direction, so, scott, tonig, a decent amount for the league to sort out. >> jeff, thank you very much. some rough weather is on the menu for millions this

2:23 am
angeles. in downtown, a two and a half mile stretch of the harbor freeway has 12 on and off ramps and two major interchanges, making it a magnet for traffic. [horn honks] the worst bottleneck on the east coast is the lincoln tunnel connecting new york city and new jersey. altogether drivers there experience 3.4 million hours of delays each year, but the bottlenecks aren't just in megacities. austin comes in at number ten. norfolk, virginia, also made the list. secretary of transportation anthony foxx. >> i think what people should think about is that the traffic they're experiencing on thksgiving holiday could be traffic every day over the next 30 years if we're not careful. we need to make the investments in our infrastructure. >> reporter: investments in solutions like coordinated traffic lights, metered on- ramps and high-occupancycyoll lanes. commuter jose vasquez uses an app on his smartphone called waze to try to avoid the worst
2:24 am
>> it will tell you which one not to take, but, you know, it's going to be the lesser of the two evils. >> reporter: but there's hope. the woodrow wilson bridge outside of washington, d.c., dropped off the list after it was rebuilt to better handle the traffic. and however bad the commute gets, it is still better than this mind-boggling 50-lane trtrfic jam in october outside beijing lasting fohours. all that time stuck in traffic translates to $2.4 billion in lost productivity annually and, scott, researchers say if you're able to fix even 30 of those bottlenecks, you save an estimated 35 million gallons of gas a year. >> kris van cleave on the road for us tonight. kris, thanks very much. you'd like to see i iyour city is one of the 50 worst bottlenecks, go to our facebook page. you'll find it at facebook.com/cbseveningnews. that's the "cbs overnight news" for this tuesday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back later for

in our cbs news poll out tonight, 36% of americans approve of president obama's handling of terrorism. that is down from 72% right after u.s. forces killed osama bin laden in 2011. only 23% of americans believe the presesent has a clear planan for dealing with isis. his strategy includes air stris in iraq and syria, and david martin tells us the latest targets include oil. >> reporter: two air strikes, the most recent over the weekend, have destroyed almost 500 tanker trucks isis uses to smuggle oil and sell it on the
3:05 am
black market. by one eststate, the attacks have destroyed roughly halalthe trucks isis uses to bring in $1 million a day in)revenues. until now the u.s. has not gone after the tankers for fear of killing the civilian drivers. in these strikes, u.s. planes first dropped leaflets warning the drivers. and then they conducted strafing runs to scare them away. the u.s. has also loosened the rules on civilian casualties. previously a strike would be called offfff any civilians werere spspted in the area. for these, more than five civilians had to be in the target area before the strike would be called off. the french have now begun launching strikes against isis from an aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean. and the russians have fired a total of 42 cruise missiles against isis targets in syria. cutting off oil revenues will degrgre isis, but the quickest way to defeat it on the battlefield is to seize its capital of raqqah in syria.
3:06 am
map shows how close u.s.-backed fighters are to raqqah, just 30 miles to the north and 100 miles to the east. u.s. officials say the fighters to the north don't have enough combat power to take raqqah and the fighters to the east must t first push south to seize a key y road junction before advancing on raqqah. the fighters will be assisted by 50 american green berets, but they are not expected to get there until next month. think of it as a race against time, scott. can u.s.-backed fighters seize raqqah before isis can launch another terrorist attack against the west? >> david martin reporting from the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. in the presidential campaign, donald trump's recollection of 9/11 is being called into question. rival ben carson backed him up until he didn't. nancy cordes has that. >> i watched in jersey city, new jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down.

>> reporter: with the score tied, time running out and the st. louis rams trying to mount a game-winning drive, what happened to quarterback case keenum seemed unmistakable. his head slammed the turf. he seized his helmet in pain. he couldn't even get up with assistance. >> the helmet to the ground. one of the troubling spots when we talk about concussions at the nfl level. >> reporter: but keenum never left the field. >> it seems obvious to everybody. >> reporter: dr. douglas smith with the university of pennsylvania studies brain injury and repair. >> we want to take them out of play and keep an eye on them to make sure they don't go back into the game before it's too soon. >> reporter: the nfl has a concussion protocol to handle these exact t tuations. it spells out concussion signalsls as well as health markers required to resume play and avoid further injury. there is also now an athletic trainer above the field with the auority to stop a game at any time. commissioner roger goodell told "60 minutes" just last week he believes the league is safer than ever.
3:14 am
>> i do believe it's safer, but injuries are part of active sports. and they're certainly part of football. football is a contact sport. >> reporter: on sunday, however, after this contact, no one had keenum properly checked off the field until after the game, when a concussion was confirmed. the nfl says tonight it is investigating. rams' coach jeff fisher just held a news conference. he said he didn't see his quarterback stumbling and that the spotter above the field saw a trainer on the field so didn't stst play. he says the trainer was told to leave the field by an nfl official. everyone seems to be pointing in a different direction, so, scott, tonight, a decent amount for the league to sort out. >> jeff, thank you very much. some rough weather is on the menu for millions this

finally tonight, for many getting to work is a full-time job. and a report out today names the 50 worst traffic bottlenecks in america. number one is in chicago. total traffic and weather network is providing us with this live picture. and here's transportation correspondent kris van cleave. >> reporter: every day drivers in chicago collectively spend nearly 6000 hours stuck in this. >> i give myself about an hour and a half to get to work. >> reporter: after chicago the next six worst bottlenecks in the country are all in los angeles.
3:20 am
in downtown, a two and a half mile stretch of the harbor freeway has 12 on and off ramps and two major interchanges, making it a magnet for traffic. [horn honks] the worst bottleneck on the east coast is the lincoln tunnel connecting new york city and new jersey. altogether drivers there experience 3.4 million hours of delays each year, but the bottlenecks aren't just in megacities. austin comes in at number ten. norfolk, virginia, also made the list. secretary of transportation anthony foxx. >> i think what people should think about is that the traffic they're experiencing on thanksgiving holiday could be traffic every day over the next 30 years if we're not careful. we need to make the investments in our infrastructure. >> reporter: investments in solutions like coordinated traffic lights, metered on- ramps and high-occupancy toll lanes. commuter jose vasquez uses an app on his smartphone called waze to try to avoid the worst of the back-ups. >> it will tell you which one
3:21 am
not to take, but, you know, it's going to be the lesser of the two evils. >> reporter: but there's hope. the woodrow wilson bridge outside of washington, d.c., dropped off the list after it was rebuilt to better handle the traffic. and however bad the commute gets, it is still better than this mind-bogglili 50-lane traffic jam in october outside beijing lasting for hours. all that time stuck in traffic translates to $2.4 billion in lost productivity annually and, scott, researchers say if you're able to fix even 30 of those bottlenecks, you save an estimated 35 million gallons of gas a year. >> kris van cleave on the road for us tonight.. kris, thanks very much. if you'd like to see if your city is one of the 50 worst bottlenecks, go to our facebook page. you'll find it at facebook.com/cbseveningnews. thanld that's the "cbs overnight news" this tuesday.y. for some of you the n ns continues.

"it's impossible that any terrorist can come to america through any refugee program. there are six or seven months for a background check. many of the attackers in paris were french nationals and lived

3:53 am
passenger gets to the airport. >> our airport security is not designed to catch somebody right as they're getting on the aircraft. it is designed to start checking people as soon as they start to look for that ticket. >> reporter: passengers are scrutinized for how they pay for a ticket, what route they are taking and whether it's round trip or one way. once you make it to a security checkpoint, expect a more thorough screening, even tsa pre-check passengers may have to take their shoes off, and police are asking passengers themselves to be more aware. selina scwingle was flying out of washington today. i think it's excellent that people are a little more aware. sometimes we get a little too comfortable in our own settings and we don't really pay too much attention to what's going on. >> reporter: and it's not just the airports, in new york nearly 50 additional police officers will patrol major rail hubs. in a show of force in new york city yesterday, police ran through active shooter drills in the susuay system.

3:55 am
gloating about the paris attacks. but as offensive as the group's propaganda is, they don't lie. abdelhamid abaaoud, the presumed ringleader of the paris terrorists, popped up regularly in isis videos, and he openly boasted that after fighting in syria, he'd been able to reenter europe and buy weapons and even slip through police checks. francois heisbourg is a security expert and specialaldviser to the french government. >> that should set alarm bells ringing. >> he is almost taunting them. >> yes, he was taunting them. he was taunting them.

radicalized young men already flagged, including battle hardened ones who come back from syria through the leaky borders of europe's poorer countries. and once they're in, they're in, able to live and travel around eely as most of the e ris attackers did. france is now pushing for much tougher immigration controls and better information sharing, but most crucial, france needs to double spending on its own domestic intelligence services, says heisbourg. >> hiring young men, youou women with the rigig sort of linguistic skills, technical skills, p.r. skills, communications skills, not simply the traditional police skills. if we don't do that, this is going to happen again. >> reporter: and, scott, two more victims of the attacks were buried today. they were sisters who were gunned down together on the e terrrre of a paris cafe. >> e ezabeth palmer in paris for us tonight.

3:58 am
bustling historic city center was showing the effects of the stringent security measures. but salah abdeslam, europe's most wanted man and key suspect in the paris attacks, is still on the run. after evading french police, he was last seen in belgium. several of the police raids carried out in molenbeek, a local man says there is growing resentment amongst the large muslim community living there as they feel stigmatized. "you have 100,000 people," he said, "who will live as if they were potential suspects of terrorism." because of the concern that the police crackdown could backfire as the community feels abandoned. "they are residents of molenbeek," he said, "a place in which jihadis and suicide bombers are believed to lurk, so residents are rightly concerned for their own safety." even if abdeslam is captured,

4:02 am
