militants. ambulances have been seen streaming out of the building and a three-day period of mourning has now been declared in pakistan. throughout the morning, injureded students flooded into nearby hospitals. there were scenes of chaos and urgent appeals for blood. one student described the attack. suddenly we heard firing and a teacher told us not to be afraid, he said. then the army came into the school. an officer told us to go out the back door. the attacks began at 11:00 a.m. when military officials say at least six armed men stormeded the military run school and began firing on the students. two explosions were reported. pakistan any military vehicles poured into the area and surrounded the school. small arms fire was heard as they fought to take it back from the militants. concerned parents gathered

outside, desperate for more information. the pakistani taliban claims it was revenge for military operations against them in north waziristan. as the death toll continues to climb, authorities say this is the bloodiest insurgent attack in pakistan in many years. >> pakistan's prime minister is calling in a national tragedy. we understand that most of the students who have been killed are between the ages of 12 and 16. many of them are the children of army personnel. but there were also private students enrommed in that school. >> gayle? >> heartbreaking story. thank you, clarissa. police are warning thousands of people north of philadelphia to stay home this morning because of a huge man hunt. they suspect an iraq war veteran murdereded his former wife and five of her relatives yesterday. neighborses say the ex-wife told them she was afraid of being killed by him. good morning, jericka. >> reporter: good morning, and

good morning to viewers in the west. the murders have rocked this small town, which has not had a homicide in 20 years. as for the alleged suspect, bradley stone, he's a former marine who was hon rably discharged in 2011. right now police believe he is armed and dangerous. s.w.a.t. teams have been working their way through a number of pennsylvania communities in an effort to locate a suspected gunman who authorities say is responsible for the death of six people. >> we are searching for mr. stone. we are looking at some known locations. as we stand here right now, we do not know where he is. >> according to police, 35-year-old bradley william stone was last seen after he went on a deadly shooting ram pain early monday morning in three separate towns north of philadelphia. at this apartment complex just before 5:00 a.m. monday, the gunman allegedly abducted his daughters and killed his ex-wife, 33-year-old nicole

stone. neighbors say they were involved in a custody. >> dispute. it's really devastating. a sweet girl. >> a witness who asked not to be identified spoke to our cbs station in philadelphia. >> i heard four gunshots. and i heard the kids screaming mommy, no. we want mom. i looked out the window, and he was actually taking the kids in the car and leaving. >> stone dropped the girls off at a neighbor's house with they were later found safe. but at the other locations, police discovered five other bodies, all members of his ex-wife's family. patricia was stone's exsister-in-law. >> her husband and her 14-year-old daughter were killed and his 17-year-old son was found and is now receiving treatment at a hospital in philadelphia. >> police responded late last night to a potential sighting. but that search came to an end

without any sign of the alleged gunman. >> jericka, thank you. m. this morning, sydney, australia is honoring two people who died inside a siege. one of the victims fought with the the gunman. they also killed the man who held those captive at gunpoint all day and most of the night. ben tracy is in australia's largest city where people are reeling from the attack. ben, good morning. >> norah, a lot of people still shaking in sydney this morning. this memorial is a place people have been coming all day leaving flowers to pay their respects. m meanwhile, overnight, the plils launch operation hammer made. deploying a large number of police officers all over the the city in the wake of this hostage standoff. following a lound bag, five hostages trapped inside this cafe came running out. >> we were involveded in the

emergency action. we believed no one had been injured. that changed. we changed our tactic. >> the 16-hour hostage situation ended in a hail of gunfire. two hostages were killed inside. katrina dawson, a 38-year-old lawyer and mother of three and manager of the cafe, 34-year-old t tori johnson. he wrestleded with the gunman, allowing others to escape. >> he would always put his staff before anyone. >> the gunman, man haron monis was also killed. he was a self proclaimed sheikh prosecuted for writing hate mail to families of soldiers killed in afghanistan. >> this is a man who had a serious history of criminal offenses. >> monis was out on bail after being charged with sexual assault and being an accessory to his ex-wife's murder. those charges and his extremist

views led australia's prime minister to ask why monis was not being more closely watched. >> how can someone who has had such a long and checkered history not be on the appropriate watch lists? >> new details from the guardian australia describe the terror from inside the cafe. the gunman had grown increasingly erratic and enranged after learning hate messages were not broadcast. when hostages asked to go to the bathroom, they were escorted. during one trip, three men escaped. is memorial is growing. thousands have come to pay their respects in the center of a city still in shock. >> you didn't know these people personally but you feel a connection? >> absolutely, yes. it could have been us, you know. >> now the sydney police say they want people here to carry on with their lives.

they want them to come back to the central business district and they say all the streets that were shut down will be reopened by later this morning. >> john miller, the deputy director of interest and counter terrorism is our senior correspondent. welcome back. >> good to be here, charlie. >> tell me if an attack like this, in your judgment, is going to happen in the united states and how do you prepare against it? >> i think the in many ways it is inevitable. less a question of it but more of a question of when. you don't have to go back to ancient history. you have to go back to september when isis put out the call through the official smoex man for people to attack in their own countries with what they have at hand. then you have to go back to october where i think the 20th you see martin rul over soldiers in canada with his truck. the next day you see a man

attack parliament with a rifle. the day -- two days later, in new york, you see a man with a hatchet who had 270 internet visits to isis or al qaeda websites in the 20 days proceeding attack on new york city police officers. you see the action in australia. you see the threat level go up in britain and sidney because of isis calls there. this is part of the culture of the marketing of violence by terrorist groups. >> how do you prepare for it? >> well, in new york city the preparations rb going on for 1 years. there are a thousand people who work with this on a daily basis. hundreds more in the fbi dedicated to that, not in a part-time way, but in a constant way. there's 400 people in the emergency service unit.

so if you take a small scenario at one location as we saw in sydney, or a wider cast like the mumbai attacks or one of the cities scaled to meet that. >> the interesting thing of what happened in sydney is the personal responsible for this had a long history of run-ins with the cops. he was a bad guy. but you can't keep 24-hour surveillance on these types of people. how many of these typesof people are in new york that you keep surveillance on? how do you keep track of them? >> well, we have a daily meeting where we kind of go over who is on the radar. why are they on the radar? do we know enough about them to figure out if there's legal action that can be taken. are they arrestable? what tools will that require? and that's a bit of a mill. but you're correct. it's something we talk about every day. >> were there any lessons

learned you think by u.s. officials from how it was handled in australia? >> i spoke to the police commissioner in sydney today. i asked him just that. what can we take from this? and he went over a lot of tract call considerations in what happened. and i think from each one of these we can learn a lesson. and we'll learn a couple out of this. and we'll talk about it more. >> which are? >> yeah. can you share the lesson learned? >> i think there's a good reason not to share the tactical lessons. if we share them with you, we may be sharing them with people out there thinking about something like this. but the important part is that we talk about each one of these after. the global community, andrew used to be the head of counterterrorism before he was the commissioner. now the head commissioner, we work together when i was in the los angeles police with commissioner, when i was in the

fbi, so this is how we compare notes. it's a small town. >> we want to continue the conversation today. can you stay? >> i'll be here. >> bill cosby's wife is standing by her husband this morning. it's the the first time we're hearing from camille cosby since renewed accusations surfaced against bill cosby. now why the timing of her forceful message is important. good morning. >> good morning. for several weeks camille cosby remained quiet as accuser after accuser came out against her husband. now she is coming to his defense while also taking a shot hat the media. in her first public comments, camille cosby maintained her husband of 50 years is not the same person depicteded in the headline ls. she says the man i met and fell in love with and whom i continue to love is the man who all knew through his work. he's a kind man a generous man. zblf he really needs that right now more than anything, to have

his wife speak up. it's getting harder to defend bill cosby with someone like beverly johnson coming forward and making accusations. >> last week johnson a former supermodel became the latest to accuse cosby of drugging her. >> i remember being so disappointed. it was like a family member had betrayed me. zblf camille cosby slammed the media, saying there appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers before stories are publiced or aired. she compares it to a now discredited rolling stone article about an alleged gang rape at the university of virginia. cosby continued, none of us will ever twant want to be in the po of attacking the victim. but the question should be asked, who is the victim. >> it appears they're trying to say that the the media should ignore these accusations, and that's not going to happen. >> attorneys for cosby have repeatedly denied the allegations, the comedian drew

more attention over the weekend when he told the the new york post he expects the black media will remain neutral. but cosby's lawyer criticized freelance reporter stacey brown. in a statement he said he did not indicate that he was interviewing mr. cosby for publication. on cnn last night, brown called the the comment preposterous. >> i have to say if a reporter is calling bill cosby today, it's not to make small talk: it's for an interview. >> since the wave of allegations began, several companies and institutions have trieded to distance themselves from cosby. sunday, they suspended a scholarship named for the comedian and his wife. >> thank you. no release for parts of california as more rain targets the west coast. floods have created temporary rivers in the san francisco bay area. meteorologist evelyn taft of our cbs station in los angeles station shows us what else is in store. good morning, evelyn.

♪ it is tuesday, december 16th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there more news ahead, injuding john miller. the chief looks at the lessons for us from monday's deadly attack in sydney. but first, here's a look at today's eye opener at 8. pakistani police are saying the siege on the school is over and that all of the attackers have been killed. >> police respopded to a potential sighting. that search came to an end without any sign of the alleged gunman. >> police here in sydney launch operation hammer head to point large numbers of police officers all over this city. >> tell me whether an attack like this is inevitable in the

united states? >> i think in many ways it is inevitable. i think it's a less of question of the, it's more of question of when. >> bill cosby remains quiet after accuser after accuser came of her husband. >> one of three storm systems. the next one coming our way this even and the next one heading over the pacific northwest. guardians of peace is behind the hack. >> no film studio should ever buckle under the kind of pressure they attempted to apply. you press it. hi. that's a nice one. >> i just learned the term selfie a couple months ago. >> it's ridiculous, isn't it? >> it's really ridiculous. isn't it in the dictionary now? i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we welcome our viewers back in the west. taliban siege in a school in pakistan appears to be over.

at least 1489 people died. mostly children. a group of men stormed in earlier today and started shooting. >> killers also took students hostage at the school. the siege lasted for hours. clarissa, good morning to you. >> good morning. pakistani police are now saying the siege on that school is over and that all of the attackers have been killed. soldiers are still clearing the building because of reports that bombs were planted inside the school by the militants and a three-day period of mourning has been declared in pakistan. the siege began at 11:00 this morning when the attackers scaled the wall and stormed the school, firing on students and on teachers. pakistani military vehicles quickly flooded the area. there were helicopters overhead as the army began its operation to try to end the siege. now, the school is run by the pakistani military and many of

the students are the children of army personnel. but there are also private students enrolled in that school. hospitals near the area were flooded with injured students. one of those hospitals was appealing for blood. and most of the dead and injured are students between the ages of 12 and 16. the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack saying that it is revenge for on-going military operations in the militant stronghold of waziristan near the border of afghanistan. norah? >>clarissa, thank you. nobel peace prize winner the speaking out against the attack. a taliban gunman shoot her in the head two years ago for educating girls in pakistan. this morning she says in a statement, i am heartbroken by this senseless and cold-blooded act of terror in peshawar that is unfolding before us. innocent children in their school have no place in horror such as this.

i along with millions of others around the world mourn these children, my brothers and sisters, but we will never be defeated. reports in sydney, australia, say one of the victims in monday's siege grabbed the hostage taker's shotgun. this morning people are leaving flowers near the scene where the two hostages were killed. police stormed the cafe and shot the gunmen died. the native was not on any terror watch list. australia's prime minister said he should have been. >> john miller is back with us with the new york city police department and counter terrorism and intelligence. john, good morning again. >> good morning. >> we talked about lessons and we talked about how the new york city police and others prepare. how are we doing in terms of stopping people who are coming not just locals but are coming back in the country having been in syria and places like that? >> well, the fbi on a national basis, the national counter

terrorism center, have done a very good job at tracking people who are being recruited by isis, being recruited by al nusra and either stopping them on the way out or intercepting them on the way back. but you have to be able to do either one of those things, you have to be able to say i know where you're going and i know you're going to fight for a designated terrorist organization. otherwise, you know, people have the ability to travel and then you have to keep track of them. >> nypd responded the attack in sydney by ramping up security here. what was done? what additional precautions have been made? >> when the attack in sydney began to unfold it was nighttime here. so what we began to do that night is look at what is the target, how was it selected, what are the possibilities there, what are the like targets in new york city, how do we ramp up additional visibility and police presence there? so you had a target that was a

chocolate store. we have two or three of those in town. all the time this is going on you're asking yourself and your partners in sydney, do we have any idea of the clear motivation, why this place, why this target, why these tactics. you're saying if you take the new york overlay how do you apply protection there. additional resources were dispatched to the financial district, to columbus circle, t. now that we have an understanding of what this was and who this suspect was. >> watching it yesterday and just certainly as lay person with no police experience, there seems to be a few times the gunman was standing there with a clear shot, john. i kept thinking why doesn't a sharpshooter just take him out? >> well, there's a couple of considerations there that are tactical. one might be that we have an individual, has backpack that he says has four kilos of explosives on it. one is a dead man switch, the f. you shoot him and he falls down, it will detonate a device that could kill everybody in the

place. but also, in that area, a number of the places were asked by the police to harden their targets because they knew it was a potential place for terrorist attacks. so many of them, including this location, have re-enforced glass. >> bullet proof glass? >> which would be resistant to a sniper's bullet. so there were a lot of challenges for the new south wales police involved in that incident. when you see the timing of what they did, how they did it, and the decisions they made, i don't think you could have done better or achieved a better outcome tactically. >> are there different strategies in terms of what the police do when it's a criminal hostage situation and a terrorist hostage situation? >> that's a real interesting question because it's two different sets of rules. this a criminal hostage situation you have somebody who didn't intend to take hostages. they just got surrounded by the police while robbing the bank. their motive is how do i get out and how do i get the best deal? in a terrorist hostage situation you have oftentimes they go in not intending to get out alive

and they don't care nor do they intend to get everybody else alive. and that's an important distinction if you're the negotiator. sometimes the idea that they go on long can be a sign, well, they want to talk but oftentimes that's just to keep the world's global attention of live tv focused there. so if you're the negotiator there you want to keep that conversation going. if you're the tactical commander, you want to have your plan to go in ready for the minute you need it. i think we saw that yesterday. >> what are we learning about closely watching how isil uses social media tnd a internet? >> everything, charlie. i think if you take the isis pitch and you bring in the best madison avenue ad executive and you say how are they doing? they've really broken the mold. the quality of the films, the use of editing packages like final cut from apple, the special effects they're putting in, but the key to it, charlie, draws you into the video. the message, both direct and

sublimin subliminal, is appealing to a group saying you can achieve three things. you can achieve valor, you can achieve belonging, you can achieve empowerment. and that is particularly resonating with a class of people who feel isolated, ignored, powerless, and some of these people also have, you know, borderline -- emotionally disturbed people looking for something to latch on to. and i think we saw that again yesterday. we saw it in canada a month ago. we saw it here in new york with the hatchet attack on a police officer. >> john miller, thank you so much. good to see you. >> good to be here. the russian ruble is at an all-time low against the u.s. dollar this morning. russia's central bank took drastic action overnight raising interest rates to 17%. that's a hike of 6 1/2%. it is the biggest one-day rise since russia's economic melt down in 1998. charl

charlie d'agata is here. >> the urgency of the decision that the announcement came out at 1:00 this morning. certainly something had to be done before the markets opened here to stop the free-fall of the ruble. it's all intended to stop currency traders from taking rubles out of the country and rebuild some confidence in the currency. for a while it worked. the ruble rallied this morning making up from catastrophic losses yesterday, only to backslide again to new record lows against the dollar where it has taken a beating all year. it is down 50% against the dollar, partly owing to punishing sanctions over ukraine and the drop in the price of oil, oil and gags make up for 70% of this country's revenue. now, here it's a sense of worry but not panic. people aren't having a run on banks, they're not going to atms to get their rubles out. they're not going to shops to stock up on food and products. but people are concerned. a farmer we spoke to today said

his concern now is hike in interest rates are going to stop people from borrowing in order to get by. his n. his words, it's like being on a titanic. you can worry all you want but there's not much you can do about the iceberg. norah? >> charlie, thank you. that's one of the big stories this morning. >> 70% of their economic revenues. >> yeah, based on oil. all right, ahead on "cbs this morning" how the top news stories made it go google's annual list of top trending searches. see which ones are at the top o,
