york city. pelley: a russian warplane is shot down after it strays into turkey. >> turkey, like every country, has a right to defend its territory and its airspace. >> pelley: also tonight, a warning about a copycat terror atatck in the u.s. don't be afraid. be aware. >> pelley: a white chicagogo police officer is charged with murdering a black teteager. and the nation's highest civilian honor is presented to a group of great americans from yogi berra-- ^> it ain't over till it's over. >> pelley: to james taylor. taylor.captioning sponsored by >> pelley: the incident has major implations for the war on isis and peace in europe. the head of nato is calling for calm tonight after turkey shot down a russian warplane killing at least one of two pilots.

it is the first time the north atlantic alliance has downed a russian or soviet plane since the 1950s. russian president putin insists the plananwas in syrian airspace, but the turks released this radar image, which they say shows the path of the plane, that dotted red line, as it briefly entered turkey. holly williams begins our coverage. >> reporter: turkey says the russian warplane strayed over a le into the airspacece after r warnings without a a response, a turkish fighter jet shot it down. this video is thought to show its fiery descent, crashing down in northwest syria. turkey says this radar map shows where the aircraft briefly crossed over, but russia denies the plane ever left syrian airspace, and the visibly angry russian president vladimir putin

in the back, describing the turkish as terrorists' accomplices. turkey had already warned moscow about violating its airspace and says russian planes did so twice in october. a ayrian rebel group posled this video, which seems to show the bloody body of one of the russian pilots. the fate of the other pilot is unknown. russia and turkey are on opposite sides of the syriri civiviwar. turkey, like its ally the u.s., supports the syrian rebels. rebels, while russia backs the syrian regime and in september began launching airstrikes. moscow claimed to be targeting isis, but the u.s. says it's also hit so-called moderate rebels because russia's real al is to prop up syr's

dictator, bashar al-assad. there were hopes that russia could be coaxed into cooperating with the u.s. and its allies in the fight against isis, but, scott, after this incident, that now looks even more uncertain. >> pelley: holly williams s reporting from istanbul tonight,t, holly,y,hanks. david martin reports the shootdown has the potential to draw nato allies into a conflict with russia. >> reporter: from the moment russian warplanes began operating out of that airbase in syria, it was an international incident waiting to happen. russian planes violated turkish airspace on at leaea two prevevus occasions, flew within 500 feet of american aircraft striking isis targets inyria, and bombed opposition groups supported by the u.s. and its allies. to avoid incidents, a hot line was set up between the russian defense ministry and the u.s.-run command center for coalition airstrikes against isis. but t no avail.

after vladimir putin's angryry reaction to the shootdown, the russian mitary said a cruiser armed with surface-to-air missiles would be stationed off the syrian coast ready to shoot down any planes that threatened its aircraft. president obama urged both sides to remain calm and described the incident as a consequence of russia's policy of flying g airstrikik in support of the syrian regime of bashar al-assad. >> i do think that this points to an ongoing problem with the russian operations in the sense that they are operating very close to a turkish border, and they are going after moderate opopsition. >> reporter: turkey y a member of nato, which h spent the past year and a half scrambling troops. to counter what is seen as increasingly aggressive russian bebevior.

the sudden appearance of russian warplanes in syria repepsented another threat to nato, this time on its southern flank, when the u.s. sent planes to turkey in an effort to increase the number of strikes against isis, it also sent air-to-air fighrs to defend turkish airspace against russian warplanes. russia may be causing problems, but in this particular incident, scott, u.s. officials blame turkey for over-reacting to a minor violation of its airspace. >> pelley: david martin at the pentagon tonight. thank you, david. as holly w wliams mentioned the u.s. andndrance were hoping toto bring russia into an anti-isis alliance. isis bombed a russian airliner last month. as chip reid reports today, french president francois hollande visited the white house where president obama said this about isis. >> it cannot be tolerated. it must be destroyed. and we must do it together. >> reporter: president hollande said france would ramp up its r campaign, targeting isis command centers, training facilities and the hearts of cities controlled by the terror group. president obama said his

already put together a plan to accelerate pressure on isis before the p pis attacks. >> and we intend to execute on those plans. >> reporter: but, mr. obama gave no details and instead talked more about what's already been accomplished. >> we've taken thousands of strikes, have taken thousands of isil fighters, including top commanders and leaders, off the battlefield. >> reporter: the president agaga called on russiaiao stop propping up the regime of syrian president bashar al-assad and join the u.s. coalition of 65 nations fighting isis. >> russia right now is a coalition of two-- iran and russia-- supporting assad. given russia's military capabilities and given the influence they have on the assad regime, them cooperating would be enormously helpful and would

attention on isil. >> reporter: from washington, president hollande will head for russia where he plans to ask president putin to shift his focus to f fhting isis, but, scott, it's a request that's been made many times before withlut success. >> pelley: chip reid at the white house. thanks. the "cbs overnight news" will be

with unique insight into all of this, we turn to ambassador nick burns, a career american diplomat, former national security council director for russian affairs, and former u.s. presentative for nato. he now teaches diplomacy at harvard. mr. ambassador, what are the stakes in what we've seen today? >> well, it's been a consequential day, scott. we haven't had a nato member shoot down a soviet or russian aircraft since 1952, and so the

russians learn the lessons of what happened but also that this can be de-escalated so that there's no further action, and russia and turkey and the other countries can go back, hopefully trying to combat isis. >> pelley: well, the russian president called it a stab in the back. could this escalate? >> it could escalate. i think there's-- i think the united states and president oboba are going to work k ry hard to sesethat it doesn't, but there's an important principle at stake here, scott. every nation has a right to protect its own borders. and president obama sided with the turks today in saying that they have that right. it was a gross violation of international law for the russians even to fly close to that border, but to cross it, that's a red line that can't be crossed. and so i thinknkhe lesson here for the russians has to be they're fairly isolalad right now. they don't have many friends in the middle east. they say that they want to attack and defeat isis but they're not really fighting isis. >> pelley: you know, the turks fired on this aircraft after it

had been in their airspace for only about 30 seconds or so, we're told. why do you think the turks would make a point of shooting this airplane down? >> i think because there's a history here. the russians have violated turkish airspace several times since the russians began air operations in syria two months ago. and the turks have warned the russians publicly and privately that there's going to be a response at some point. the russians may have thought that the turks weren't serious but they found out today that they were. it's a tragedy. it's not sometetng, obviously, that the united states wants to see happen, but the turks do have a right to protect that border. the emphasis now has to be on making sure it doesn't happen again. >> pelley: ambassador nicholas burns, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> pelley: well, the war on isis means that security at home will be tighter as millions of americans head out for thehe holiliy. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: police at los angeles international airport today were armed with automatic weapons. this thanksgiving week, amid isis threats, there will also be

a larger police presence than usual in new york. police commissioner bill bratton. >> i think it quite clear what we're advocating through you, certrtnly is this idea of don't be afraid. be a are. reprter: a new intelligence bulletin sent to law enforcement around the country warns that there could be copycats in the u.s. looking to replicate the paris attacks. ron hosko is a former assistant director of the f.b.i. how much of isis' strategy is about fear? >> i think a large proportion is about fear. could something happen? yes. but is there a greater likelihood of being struck by lightning or struck by a car on the way to d.c.? yes. >> reporter: today, president obama tried to reassure the public. >> what happened in paris is truly horrific. i understand that people worry that something similar could happen here. i want you to know that we will continue to do everything in our power to defend our nation.

involves studying tactics used in paris. intelligence officials believe the attackers conducted pre-operation surveillance. police in the u.s. are being advised to be on the lookout for suspicious people conducting surveillance on soft targets. >> pelley: jeff pegues, thanks. in another big story tonight, a white chicago police officer was charged today with murder more than a year after shooting a black teenager in the back. released tonight and chicago is bracing for a reaction. here's dean reynolds. here is dean reynolds. >> police said nothing as he turned himself in faces first-degree murder charges and according to his lawyer scared to death. anita alvarez is the cook county state's attorney. >> this officer went over board. >> van dyk's trouble began in

october of last year along this street when he and seven other officers pursued a robbery suspect. 17-year-old laquan mcdonald who was acts e radically and waiving a three-inch knife. no other officer felt the need to open fire accept van dyk, who prosecutors say, 6 seconds after arriving o o the scene shot mcdonald 16 times. it took 14 seconds, 13 of which the teenager was on the ground. prosecutors say van dyk was preparing to reload when ordered to hold fire. van dyk said mcdonald lunged at him and that he feared for his life, but the prosecutor said a police videotape telel a far different story and so did an eyewitness. >> the motorist stated that mcdonald never movered toward, lunged at or did anything threatening towards the officer before he was shot and fell to the ground. >> for 13 months chicago officials had resisted releasing the video arguing it would

a county judge last week over rode that argument and ordered the tapes be released the video is graphic, violent and chilling and there's concern once it's available for all to see it could provoke a violent reaction and painful questions about why it took so long to arrest the shooter seen onhe tape. >> reporter: now here at the police headquarters the mayor and the superintendent of police have just held a press conference where they insisted that officer van dyk is no way representative of the chicago police department. scott, if van dyk is convicted he faces 20 years to life behind barsrs >> and the video is in the process of being released tonight. dean, thank you. we now know where the paris attackers were planning to strike next until the police took them out.

but to no avail. after vladimir putin's angry reaction to the shootdown, the russian military said a cruiser armed with surface-to-air missiles would be stationed off the syrian coast ready to shoot down any planes that threatened its aircraft. president obama urged both sides to remain calm and described the incident as a consequence of russia's policy of flying airstrikes in support of the syrian regime of bashar al- assad. >> i do think that this points to an ongoing problem with the russian operations in the sense that they are operating very close to a turkish border, and they are going after moderate opposition. >> reporter: turkey is a member of nato, which has spent the past year and a half scrambling jets and deploying troops to counter what is seen as increasingly aggressive russian behavior. the sudden appearance of russian warplanes in syria represented

another threat to nato, this time on its southern flank, when the u.s. sent planes to turkey in an effort to increase the number of strikes against isis, it also sent air-to-air fighters to defend turkish airspace against russian warplanes. russia may be causing problems, but t this particular incident, scott, u.s. officials blame turkey for over-reacting to a minor violation of its airspace. >> news came as president obama in the wait of the paris terror attacks. they're trying to rally international support for a military campaign against islamic state. president obama agreed that isis must be destroyed. >> we're here today that the yiet and fraps stand united in total solidarity to deliver justice to these terrorists and tho who sent them to defendd our natitis.

strong hearts, i welcome you here today. this barbaric terrorist group, isil and its murderist i'dology pose a serious threat to all of us. it cannot bebeolerated and it must be destroyed and we must do it together. this is a unity of purpose that we serve here today. it's been noted that the terrorist did not direct their attacks against the french government military, rather they focused their vioionce on very spirirs by extension of all deliberate democracies. it's an attack on our free and open societies, where people come together to celebrate and sing and compete. targeting venues where people come together from around t t world d lling citizens of nearly

20 countries, including america. it's an attack on the very idea that people of different races, religions and backgrounds can live together in peace. in short, this was not only a strike against one of the world's great cities, it was an attack against the woror itsese. it's t t same madness and to slaughterhe innocentrom nigeria to the sinai and from lebanon to iraq. it is a scourge which harms all of us. that's why for more than a year, the united states, france and our coalition of some 65ations have been unitete in one mission, to destroy these isil terrorist and defeat they vile etiology. >> what is your reaction to turkey shooting down russian plane today? >> first of all we're still getting the details of what

communications, potentially, directly with the president over time over the next several days. turkey, like every country, has the right to defend its territory and its air space. think i is very important, right now, for us to make sure that both the russians and the turks are talking to each other to find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of es ska escalation escalation. i do think that thiss points to an on-going problem with the russian operations, in the sense that they are operating very close to a turkish border and they are going after moderate opposition that are supported by, not only turkey but a wide-range of countries.

plane killing at least one of two pilots. it's the first time atlanta alliance russian or soviet plane since the 1950s. russian n esident putin insists the plane was in syrian airspace, but the turks released this radar image, which they say shows the path of the plane, that dotted red line, as it holly williams begins our coverage. >> reporter: turkey says the russian warplane strayed over a mile into the airspapa. after 10 warnings withtht a response, a turkish fighter jet shot it down. this video is thought to show its fiery descent, crashing down in northwest syria. turkey says this radar map shows where the aircraft briefly crossed over, but russia denies the plane ever left syrian airspace, and the visibly angry russian president vladimir putin called turkey's actions a stab

in the back, describing the turkish as terrorists' accomplices. turkey had already warned moscow about violating its airspace and says russian planes did so twice in october. a syrian rebel group posted this video, which seems to show the bloody body of one of the russian pilots. the fate of the other pilot is known. russia and turkey are on opposite sides of the syrian civil war. turkey, like its ally the u.s., supports the syrian rebels. rebels, while russia backs the syrian regime and in september began launching airstrikes. scow claimed to be targeting isis, but the u.s. s ss it's also hit so-called moderate rebels because russia's real

goal is to prop up syria's dictator, bashar al-assad. there were hopes that russia could be coaxed into cooperating with the u.s. and its allies in the fight against isis, but, scott, after this incident, thth now looks even more uncertain. >> pelley: holly williams reporting from istanbul tonight, hoy, thanks. david martin reports the shootdown has the potential to draw nato allies into a conflict with russia. >> reporter: from the moment russian warplanes began operating out of t tt airbase in syria, it was an international incident waiting to happen. russian planes violated turkish airspace on at least two previous occasions, flew within 500 feet of american aircraft striking isis targets in syria, and bombed opposition groups supported by the u.s. and its allies. to avoid incncents, a hot line was set up beten the russian defense ministry and the u.s.-run command center for coalition airstrikes against isis.

president obama said his national security team had already put together a plan to accelerate pressure on isis before the paris attacks. >> and we intete to execute on thososplans. >> reporter: but, mr. obama gave no details and instead talked more about what's already been accomplished. >> we've taken thousands of strikes, have taken thousands of isil fighters, including top commanders and leaders, off the battlefield. >> reporter: the president again called on russia to stop prprping up the regime o osyrian president bashar al-assad and join the u.s. coalition of 65 nations fighting isis. >> russia right now is a coalition of two-- iran and russia-- supporting assad. given russia's mililary capabilities and given the influence they have on the assad regime, them cooperating would be enormously helpful and would

allow us all to refocus our attention on isil. >> reporter: from washington, president hollande will head for russia where he plans to ask president t tin to shift his focus to fighting isis, but, scott, it's a request that's been made many times before without success. >> pelley: chip reid at the white house. thanks. >> the cbs over night news will

be right back. [ vocalizing ] [ buzzzzg ] [ tree crashes ] [ wind howling ]

with unique insight into all of this, we turn to ambassador nick burns, a career american diplomat, former national security council director for russian affairs, and former u.s. representative for nato. he now teaches diplomacy at harvard. mr. ambassador, what are the stakes in what we've seen today? >> well, it's been a consequentl day, scott. we haven't had a nato member shoot down a soviet or russian aircraft since 1952, and so the

stakes are very high, that the russians learn the lessons of what happened but also that this can be de-escalated so that there's no further action, and russia and turkey and the other countries can go back, hopefully trying to combat isis. >> pely: well, the russian president called it a stab in the back. could this escalate? >> it could escalate. i think there's-- i think the united states and president obama are going to work very hard to see thatatt doesn't, but there's ananmportant principle at stake here, scott. every nation has a right to protect its own borders. and president obama sided with the turks today in saying that they have that right. it was a gross violation of international law for the russians even to fly close to that border, but to cross it, that's a red line that can't be crossed. and so i think the lesson here for the ruruians has to be they're e irly isolated right now. they don't have many friends in the middle east. they say that they want to attack and defeat isis but they're not really fighting isis. >> pelley: you know, the turks fired on this aircraft after it

only about 30 seconds or so, we're told. why do you think the turks wouou make a aoint of shooting this airprpne down? >> i think because there's a history here. the russians have violated turkish airspace several times since the russians began air operations in syria two months ago. and the turks have warned the russians publicly and privately that there's going to be a response at some point. the russians may have thought that the t tks weren't serious but they found o o today that thth were. it's a tragedy. it's not something, obviously, that the united states wants to see happen, but the turks do have a right to protect that border. the emphasis now has to be on making sure it doesn't happen again. >> pelley: ambassador nicholas burns, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> pelley: well, the war on isis means that security at home will be tighter as millions of americans head out for the holiday. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: police at los angeles international airport today were armed with automatic weapons. this thanksgiving week, amid isis threats, there will also be

a larger police presence than usual in new york. police commissioner bill bratton. >> i think i iquite clear what we're advovoting through you, certainly is this idea of don't be afraid. be aware. >> reporter: a new intelligence bulletin sent to law enforcement around the country warns that there could be copycats in the u.s. looking to replicate the paris attacks. ron hosko is a former assistant director of the f.b.i. how much of isis' straragy is about fefe? >> i think a large proportion is about fear. could something happen? yes. but is there a greater likelihood of being struck by lightning or struck by a car on the way to d.c.? yes. >> reporter: today, president obama tried to reassure the public. >hat happened in paris is truly horrific. i understand that people worry that something similar could happen here. i want you to know that we will continue to do everything in our power to defend our nation. >> reporter: and that strategy

involves studying tactics used in paris. intelligence officials believe the attackers conducted pre-operation surveillance. police in the u.s. are being advised to be on the looko for suspicious people conducting surveillance on soft targets. >> pelley: jeff pegues, thanks. in another big story tonight, a white chicago police officer was arged today with murr more than a year after shooting a black teenager in the back. a video of the shooting was released tonight and chicago is bracing for a reaction. here's dean reynolds. on o oober 20th of last year, >> scaredo death. anita alvarez is cook county state's attorney. >> this officer went over board. >> van dyk's trouble began in october of last year along this

street when he and seven other officers pursued a robbery suspect. 17-year-old laquan mcdonald who was acting erratically and waiving a three inch knife. no other officer felt the need to open fire except for van dyk who prosecutors say 6 seconds after arriving on the scene shot mcdonald 16 times it took 14 seconds 13 of whichhe teenager was on the ground. van dyk was preparing to reload when ordered to hold fire. dan dike said mcdonald lunged at him and that he feared for his life. police videotape tells a far different story and so did an eyewitness. >> the motorist stated that mcdonald never moved toward, launched at or did anything threatening towards the officers before he wa shot and to the ground. >> chicago officials had resisted releasing the video arguing it would jeopardize local and federal investigations

when a county judge last week over rode that argument and ordered the tapes release. prosecutors sa the videos graphic, violent and chilling and there is concern once it's available for all to see, it could revoke a violent reaction and painful questions about why it took so long to arrest the shooter seen on the tape. >> now, here at the police headquarters the mayor and the superintendent of police sl just held a -- have just held a press conference where they insisted that officer dan van dyk is no representeteof the police department. if he's convicted he faces 20 years to life behind bars. >> and the video is in process of being released tonight. dean, thank you. we now know where the paris attackers were planning to strike next until the police took them out.

turkey says this radar map shows where the aircraft briefly crossed over, but russia denies the plane ever left syrian airspace, and the visibly angry russian president vladimir putin called turkey's actions a stab in the back, describing the turkish as terrorists' accomplices. turkey had already warned moscow about violating its airspace and says russian planes did so twice in october. a syrian rebel group posted this video, which seems to show the bloody body of one of the russian pilots. the fate of the other pilot is unknown. russia and turkey are on opposite sides of the syrian civil war. turkey, like its ally the u.s., supports the syrian rebels.

regime and in september began launching airstrikes. moscow claims to be targeting isis, but the u.s. says it's also hit so-called moderate rebels because russia's real goal is to prop up syria's dictator, bashar al-assad. there were hopes that russia could be coaxed into cooperating with the u.s. and its allies in the fight against isis, but, scott, after this incident, that now looks even more uncertain. >> when the moment russian war planes began operating after that air space in syria it was an international incident waiting to happen. russian planes violated turkish airspace on at least two previous occasions, flew within 500 feet of american aircraft striking isis targets in syria, and bombed opposition groups supported by the u.s. and its allies. to avoid incidents, a hot line was set up between the russian defense ministry and the u.s.-

airstrikes against isis. but to no avail. after vladimir putin's angry reaction to the shootdown, the russian military said a cruiser armed with surface-to-air missiles would be stationed off the syrian coast ready to shoot down any planes that threatened its aircraft. president obama urged both sides to remain calm and described the incident as a consequence of russia's policy of flying airstrikes in support of the syrian regime of bashar al- assad. >> i do think that this points to an ongoing problem with the russian operations in the sense that they are operating very close to a turkish border, and they are going after moderate opposition. >> reporter: turkey is a member of nato, which has spent the past year and a half scrambling jets and deploying troops to counter what is seen as increasingly aggressive russian behavior. the sudden appearance of russian warplanes in syria represented

another threat to nato, this time on its southern flank, when the u.s. sent planes to turkey in an effort to increase the number of strikes against isis, it also sent air-to-air fighters to defend turkish airspace against russian warplanes. russia may be causing problems, but in this particular incident, scott, u.s. officials blame turkey for over-reacting to a minor violation of its airspace. >> news came as president obama in the wait of the paris terror attacks. they're trying to rally international support for a military campaign against islamic state. president obama agreed that isis must be destroyed. >> we're here today that the united states of france stand united in total solidarity to deliver justice to these terrorists and those who sent

>> and that spirit with heavy and strong hearts i welcome you here today. this barbaric terrorist group pose a serious threat to all of us. it cannot be tolerated and it must be destroyed and we must do it together. this is the unity and purpose that brings us here today. it's been noted that the terrorist did not direct their attacks against the french government or military, rather they focused their violence on the very spirit of france. my extension on all liberal democracies. this was an attack on our free and open societies where people come together to celebrate, compete, and targeting venues where people come together from around the world citizens of

this is an attack on the very idea that people of different races, religions and backgrounds can live together in peace. in short, this was not only a strike against one of the world's great cities, it was an attack against the world itself. it's the same madness that has slaughtered the innocent from nigeria to sinai and lebanon to iraq. it is a scourge that turns all of us. and that's why for more than a year the united states, france, and our coalition of some 65 nations have been united in one mission to destroy these isil terrorist and defeat their vile i'dology. >> what is your reaction to turkey shooting down russian plane today? >> well, first of all, we're still getting the details of

in communications, potentially, directly with president and everyone some time over the next several days. >> turkey like every country has r has a right to defend its territory and its air space. i think it's very important for us right now to make sure both the russians and the turks are talking to each other to find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation. i do think that this points to an on-going problem with the russian operations in the tense that they're operating very close to a turkish border, and they are going after moderate opposition that are supported by not only turkey but a wide range of countries.

strike zone, that's where it's checked and coordinated and approved. >> on their screens live feeds from drones that record every minute of the war. and seens from inside islamic state health territoryiy that they were watching on september 11 this year. these are photographs that were confirmed toto the same scene in the town square, 12 islamic state fighters were preparing to execute this man. >> there are small children brought into the very front of the crowd and we sat there helplessly, calls are coming for strike, they're going to assassinate this person in front of these children. we can't because they're children and we had to watch that. >> moments later, the execution took place and the victim lay dead.

head and once more in the body. the american drone stayed with the 12 terrorists. >> we followed them as they got into three vehicles and drove out of town. then they made a mistake because they always made mistakes and all 12 went into the building on the side of the river and none of those 12 came out. >> gurstonold us tht the air strike that destroyed that building. it's more than 5,000 strikes to support the iraqi army and kurdish forces on the ground over the past year. yet the islamic state remains intrenched in its strong hold. 5 months later, the country's second largest city fell and the iraqi army collapsed. islamic state terrorist quickly advanced toward the iraqiqi capitol attempting t t encircle baghdad infiltrating towns and

villages on the out skirts. we the army largely absent it was the shiite militants, iraq's neighbor to the east that helped push back the militants of the islamic state. one of the shiite ma mathat's known here as the popular mobilitization forces. after months of negotiation they agreed to take us up to the front. treacherous journey we could not have made without them. for more than a year, the islamic state held this ground, but our fighters told us they fought hard to win it back. now, through desolate landscape, scarred by recent battles they were taking us toward their front line just outside boluga.

>> we're going up to part of the front line that's closest, we're told that thissoint is only a mile away a a the biggest threat here is from snipers. >> it was in 2004 that 82 americans died fighting the bloodiest battle of the iraq war. the local commander here showedd us a tunnel islamic state terrorist moved to undefected from american planes. >> ied right here. >> and he showed us unexploded bombs they left behind. this river, he said, is the distance between his fighters and the enemy. >> this is a lot of spent rounds, huh? >> that's about two months. >> this is about two months of shooting? so they used the buildings for cover and they come and attack in small groups? >> sometimes they fight from the hazards, but sometimes they use the trees and the bushes for cover.

>he tasks that lies ahead of trying to liberate the major cities still occupied by the enemy is daunting. but it remains the eventual goal of their leader who was among the first to battle against the united states. >> translator: i consider myself a fighter defending my country against all that i can. >> reporter: one of the most powerful and feared men in iraq. known for his brutal tactics against iraq population in the civil war that followed the u.s. invasion. this is him as a young man in footage from ieranian tv he spent much of his lili in exile in a commander in resistance against hussein.

us is afraid, everyone who fights alongside diche is an enemy. >> that means america in this fight is your friend? >> no only if they're serious fight? >> are you saying they're not fighting now? >> frankly, well below expectations. >> we have struck thousands and thousands of positions. we are givingg a considerable amount of equipment, effort, money and training to a obscuring the government of iraq. >> the perception among iraqis you're in the fight but you're not really in the fight, no 100%. >> if thohoands of coalitionon members here i've spent 25 years in this region i would find that hard to believe that we're not interested in the safety and security in the government of iraq. >> it's part of the general's

the battlefield. command the largest shiite force in the country. >> they captured this as they helped secure a major history winning back saw daum hussein's hometown from the islamic state. but they're fighting without weapons or support from the u.s. fielgters like these many men at a training camp that we visited deep in the south of the country are among more than 100,000 volunteers that -- volunteers that make up the mobilization forces, men who rushed into the fight in the days after the iraqi army fell apart. >> nowow they come to camps like this to continueeheir training in between deployments to the front line.

>> these young people took their weapons and defended baghdad from being over run, then they carried on and returned vast areas of iraq to government control. everyone accepts now that if it wasn't for them, not only baghdad but the entirety of iraq would have been over run by diesh diesh. >> how many men have been lo so far. significant number, more than 2,000 mortars in this war. >> more than 2,000 militia fighters and thousands more iraqi police and soldiers, the faces of the deadline the streets of the capitol stretching for blocks. it's one of the first thingsgse noticed as we drove around the city. many of these men killed by isis fighters using a weapon so

already put together a plan to accelerate pressure on isis before the paris attacks. >> and we intend to execute on those plans. >> reporter: but, mr. obama gave no details and instead talked morerebout what's already y en accomplished. >> we've taken thousands of strikes, have taken thousands of isil fighters, including top commanders and leaders, off the battlefield. >> reporter: the president again called on russia to stop propping up the regime of syrian president bashsh al-assad and in the u.s. coalition of 65 nations fighti isis. >> russia right now is a coalition of two-- iran and russia-- supporting assad. given russia's military capabilities and given the influence they have on the assad regime, them cooperating would be enormously helpful and would

narrator: if abimals 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. whatat osteoporosos is preventable. all: osteo's preventable? right on! if ylu dig your bones, protect them.

with unique insight into all of this, we turn to ambassador nick burns, a career american diplomat, form national security council director for russian affairs, and former u.s. representative for nato. he now teaches diplomacy at harvard. mr. ambassador, what are the stakes in what we've seen today? >> welel it's been a consequential day, scott. we haven't had a nato member shoot down a soviet or russian aircraft since 1952, and so the

russians learn the lessons of what happened but also that this can be de-escalated so that there's no f fther action, and russia and turkey and the other countries can go back, hopefully trying to combat isis. >> pelley: well, the russian president called it a stab in the back. could this escalate? >> it could escalate. i think there's-- i think the united states and president obama are going to work very hard to see that it doesn't, but there's ananmportant principle at stake h he, scott. every nation has a right to protect its own borders. and president obama sided with the turks today in saying that they have that right. it was a gross violation of international law for the russians even to fly close to that border, but to cross it, that's a red line that can't be crossed. d so i think the lesson here r the russians has to be they'r'rfairly isolated right now. they don't have many friends in the middle east. they say that they want to attack and defeat isis but they're not really fighting isis. >> pelley: you know, the turks

only about 30 seconds or so, we're told. why do y y think the turks would make a point of shooting this airplane down? >> i think because there's a history here. the russians have violated turkish airspace several times since the russians began air operations in syria two months ago. and the turks have warned the russians publicly and privately that there's going to be a rereonse at some point.. the russians m have thought that the turks weren't serious but they found out today that they were. it's a tragedy. it's not something, obviously, that the united states wants to see happen, but the turks do have a right to protect that border. the emphasis now has to be on making sure it doesn't happen again. >> pelley: ambassador nicholas burns, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> pelley: well, the war on isis means that security at home will be tighter as millions of americans head out for the holiday. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: police at los angeles international airport today were armed with automatic weapons. this thanksgiving week, amid isis threats, there will also be

usual in new york. police commissioner bill bratton. >> i think it quite clear what we're advocating through you, certainly is this idea of don't be afraid. be aware. >> reprter: a new intelligence bulletin sent to law enforcement around the country warns that there could be copycats in the u.s. looking to replicate the paris attacks. ron hosko is a former assistant director of the f.b.i. how much of isis' strategy is about fear? >> i think a large proportion is about fear. could something happen? yes. but is there a greater likelihood of bebeg struck by ghtning or struck byby car on the way to d.c.?.? yes. >> reporter: today, president obama tried to reassure the public. >> what happened in paris is truly horrific. i understand that people worry that something similar could happen here. want you to know that we will continue to do everything in our power to defend our nation. >> reporter: and that strategy

involves studying tactics used in paris. intelligence officials believe the attackers conducted pre-operation surveillance. police in the u.s. are being advised to be on the lookout for suspicious people conducting surveillance on soft targets. >> pelley: jeff pegues, thanks. in another big story tonight, a white chicago police officer was charged today with murder more than a year after shooting a black teenager in the back. released tonight and chicago is bracing for a reaction. here's dean reynolds. here is dean reynolds. >> police said nothing as he turned himself in faces first-degree murder charges and according to his lawyer scared to death. anita alvarezs theook county state's attorney. >> this officer went over board. >> van dyk's trouble began in
