welcome to "cbs this morning." anger is growing in chicago over a graphic video of a police officer shooting a teenager too death. demonstrators blocked traffic for much of the night. there was some pushing and shoving but protests were mostly peaceful. >> police and activists are calling for calm over the shooting of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. dash cam video shows the policeman firing 16 times at him last year. dean reynolds has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. officer jason van dyke is held without bail on murder charges. the 15-second incident was captured on police dashboard video. we have to warn you, it is difficult to watch. the video shows officer jason

van dyke on the left, firing six seconds after leaving his cruiser. most of the shots hit mcdonald when he's already on the ground. van dyke's partner told van dyke to hold his fire. eight chicago cops had pursued mcdonald because he was a robbery suspect. the tape showed mcdonald moving away, not toward the officer. cook county state's attorney anita alvarez said she didn't know of any other on-duty chicago police officer being charged with murder. >> clearly this officer went overboard, you know, and abused his authority. i don't believe the force was necessary. >> reporter: the confrontation happened on october 20th of last year. prosecutors received a copy of the dash cam video two weeks later and opened an investigation. on tuesday, the video was made

public but only because a county judge ordered it released. alvarez said the video's release did not pressure her into bringing charges against van dyke. >> when we investigate police shootings, it's not like one civilian shooting another. it's much more complex and involved. it's not unusual for these types of investigations to take up to 20 months. >> reporter: but critics say the video is so damning, the video should have been released immediately. >> he was given 13 more months of pay and security and preparation. >> reporter: protestors last night were vocal but mostly nonviolent, heeding the advice of city officials. >> it is fine to be passionate. but it is essential that it remain peaceful. we have a collective responsibility in the chicago of chicago, the city we love, to be

sure the opportunity for healing begins now. >> reporter: van dyke's lawyer says his client is scared to death. if convicted, he could face 20 years to life in prison. and as for mcdonald's family, the city of chicago has awarded them $5 million in compensation, even though the family had never filed a wrongful death suit. >> thank you very much, dean. this morning russia and turkey have trying to ease tensions after a turkish jet shot down a russian warplane. turkey says the russian plane strayed a mile into their hair space and was there 17 seconds when it was fired on by a turkish f-16. the russian plane crashed in syria. syria's president says some of the pieces fell inside turkey. russia says one of the pilots was killed in groundfire and the other has returned safe. holly williams has more. >> reporter: good morning.

we've heard from the russian foreign minister, who said russia will not wage war against turkey, clearly trying to deescalate this situation. a day after the russian warplane was shot down, russia says it's deploying its most advanced air defense system to syria. turkey says this radar map shows where the russian aircraft briefly crossed over. but moscow denies its warplane ever left syrian airspace. and the russian president, vladimir putin, called turkey's actions a stab in the back. this video appeared to show the body of the dead russian pilot. in the hands of syrian rebel fighters. this morning, the turkish president, tayyip erdogan, said he doesn't want an escalation. but turkey had already warned moscow about violating its

airspace and claims russian planes did so twice in october. president obama spoke by telephone with the turkish president, and both he and nato called for calm. >> this points to an ongoing problem with the russian operations in the sense that they are operating very close to a turkish border. >> reporter: russia and turkey are on opposite sides of the syrian civil war. turkey, like its ally the u.s., backs the syrian rebels, while russia supports the syrian regime, and in september began launching air strikes. moscow claims to be targeting isis. but the u.s. says it's also hit so-called moderate rebels in order to prop up the syrian dictator, bashar al assad. this incident shows just how dangerous syrian airspace has become. with the syrian regime, the

u.s., and its allies, and now russia all launching air strikes, charlie. >> thanks, holly. this morning french president françois hollande is rallying world leaders to escalate the fight against isis. he'll meet this afternoon with german chancellor angela merkel. tomorrow he'll talk with the italian prime minister. then he'll fly to moscow to meet with russian president putin, following his meeting with president obama on tuesday. chip reid is at the white house, were president obama offered solidarity but not much else. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president obama's critics say he's not doing enough in syria. the president said new plans are in the works. >> this bar baric terrorist group and its murderous ideology poses a serious threat to all of us. >> reporter: president obama said even before the attacks in paris he was working on new proposals to counter isis.

>> i had gathered together my national security forces and had put together a plan to accelerate and advance the pressure that we can place on isil. and we intend to execute on those plans. >> reporter: but he provided no details. tomorrow president hollande meets face-to-face in russia with vladimir putin, who met with iran's supreme leader this week, another world leader who supports keeping syrian president bashar al assad in power. it's that kind of behavior that has the obama administration and other coalition governments skeptical about russia's involvement in the fight against isis. >> russia right now is a coalition of two. iran and russia supporting assad. >> reporter: president hollande said he will tell putin france can work with russia if russia concentrates its action on taking out isis and commits to the coalition's shared goal of

removing assad from power. >> them cooperating would be enormously helpful in bringing about a resolution of the civil war in syria and allow us all to refocus our attention on isil. >> reporter: but after that shootdown of a russian jet by turkey, it now appears the chances of getting russia to work with the anti-isis coalition are even more remote. >> chip, thank you so much. french police this morning are searching for a new suspect in the paris terror attacks. mohamed abrini was caught on video with salah abdeslam, the suspect thought to have fled to belgium after the attraction. debora patta reports from there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is an attempt to return some sense of normal at this to brussels today. the city remains on high alert for a possible terrorist attack, but the metro has reopened,

packed by school students guarded by police, because children are back in school. 300 additional police officers have been deployed to patrol schools around brussels. parents were only allowed to drop their children at the gates. teachers escorted them inside the building. director of a local elementary school philippe ector said the closure has been difficult. i find it a bit shocking, he said. for us, school is a place where we learn. and in brussels it is the place where we learn to live together. as the city deals with heightened security, more details have come out about the belgian jihadies involved in the paris attacks. the french prosecutor said abdelhamid abaaoud was placed at the bataclan concert hall at precisely the same time as police were freeing hostages.

the prosecutor also revealed that abaaoud, together with another man, were planning a suicide bomb attack at a busy parisian business district. abaaoud was killed in the french raid in saint-denis last week. but there is a new addition to europe's most wanted list. 30-year-old mohamed abrini was seen traveling with fugitive salah abdeslam two days before the mass killings in this black car caught on a surveillance camera. and his dn rachet wa was found the cars used in the attacks. belgian police are now hunting for two of the paris suspects, and they still have the additional pressure of trying to root out a terror cell they believe is plotting paris-like attacks here in brussels. charlie? >> thank you, debora patta in brussels. new details this morning about the american air strike that destroyed a hospital in afghanistan last month. according to military officials

briefed on the pentagon investigation, the inadvertent strike was the result of human and technical errors. at least third people at the doctors without borders hospital in kunduz were killed, mostly doctors and patients. the military was trying to target a terrorist base, but errors resulted in the attack on the hospital. a new presidential poll this morning shows hillary clinton with a 9-point lead over bernie sanders in iowa. the lead is nearly unchanged from last month's poll. the quinnipiac survey also finds that sanders is considered more trustworthy but voters think hillary clinton has the best chance to win the election. the republican frontrunner, donald trump, says muslims in new jersey celebrated the

september 11th attacks. nancy cordes has more on that. >> good morning. it's now donald trump's republican opponents that say his 9/11 claims are a fantasy and they're using terms to describe him we haven't heard in modern american politics. >> good evening. isn't he the best? he will be the best president ever. >> reporter: for the first time, donald trump's wife joined him at a campaign event. >> am i a nice person? my wife says yes. >> reporter: all the outside criticism hasn't chastened trump. if anything, his claims grew even more grandiose in myrtle beach last night. >> the other thing i prickedict was terrorism. a friend of mine said, you're the first person who predicted terrorism. i said, because i can feel it. >> reporter: trump's republican rivals are disputing his tale of thousands of muslims celebrating

in new jersey the day the twin towers fell. chris christie is new jersey's governor. >> if that had happened, i would recall it. and i don't. >> it would have been on television. it would have been recorded. this is just wrong. >> reporter: ohio governor john kasich released an ad calling trump's rhetoric dangerous. advisors to jeb bush went even further, calling trump's proposals for documenting u.s. muslims fascist. none of it has hurt trump's poll numbers. a recent quinnipiac poll shows him leading in iowa, although texas senator ted cruz is just 2 points behind, as dr. ben carson slips. support for cruz in iowa has doubled in just the past four weeks. our cbs news battleground tracker showed a similar surge. trump joked recently that he hasn't attacked cruz yet but might have to go to war with him

if cruz getting too close in the polls. >> we'll be watching, thank you so much. millions of americans face a rainy and stormy thanksgiving in some parts of california and the sierra nevada. the storm created unsafe travel conditions in many parts of the west. danielle niles shows us what to expect. >> good morning, everybody. winter storm warnings and advisories are up from california to montana, stretching east to nebraska and kansas as well. this storm, even though at the lower elevations it will only drop a coating to a couple of inches, that's all it takes to create slippery travel through the intermountain west during the day today. higher elevations will get over a foot in some mountains. your thanksgiving forecast, pretty active in the central part of the country. rain in chicago, snow on the back side of it. slippery travel with areas of ice in between. quiet on the west coast and the

eastern seaboard, temperatures in the 40s and 50s in seattle and palm springs. >> thank you, danielle. police in minneapolis have three white men under arrest connection with a shooting at a black lives matter protest. 5 people were shot outside a police precinct. none of the injuries is life 37. protestors have been demanding justice for jamar clark, a 25-year-old black man killed by a white officer last month. st. louis rams wide receiver steadman bailey is having surgery today after being shot in the head. the 25-year-old is in critical but stable condition. he was reportedly shot twice last night while sitting in a car in miami garden, florida. a relative says his two young kids were in the car with him. he has been serving a four-game suspension for violating the nfl's substance abuse policy. it's official, no nba season

has started a season like golden state. the warriors won their first 16 games. they broke the all-time record last night, beating the lakers by 34 points. >> wow. >> golden state is also the first team to have 16 game-winning streaks in straight seasons. the last time they lost a regular season game was all the way back in april. >> not bad. >> and the "new york times," as you talked about earlier this morning, has a front page story about stefan, saying a point guard with the grace of baryshnikov. >> fun to watch. >> a great team to watch. an e. coli outbreak is traced to costco's chicken

cramps and die rhea but it does not produce fever. >> they traced it back to the chicken salad? >> they did, not to the individual ingredients yet and still working on that. this chicken salad from costco if you've bought it since friday, throw it out! >> how do we protect ourselves against e. coli? >> we protect ourselves by washing our hands and all of our food suppliers being certain about the chain that goes from farm to fort and try to make everything absolutely as safe as possible. >> then you're an infectious disease specialist. i wonder, given the e. coli strain that was from the chipotle restaurants and this unwinked to costco that is deadlier, what does it tell us about the bacteria, if anything? >> well, the bacteria are all around us, but actually, we have a much safer food supply these days than we have had in the past.

and one of the wonderful things is that the cdc coordinates detection from after the states and we are much better at now detecting these large outbreaks than we were before. >> what is the cause -- what made this chicken salad different from any other chicken salad we get? i had some the other day. how worried should i be? what was it specifically about this one? >> did you see any bacteria in it? >> no. that's what i want to know, charlie! what am i supposed to be looking for? >> how do you know? >> we will get you a picture of bacteria. >> actually, my friends in the studio tell me it's absolutely delicious, because they eat it all the time. so we don't know what made this one containing these bacteria and making people ill. that's actually the focus of this investigation. >> good news is i'm going to be eating turkey salad most of the rest of the week.

we are encouraging people to come on down. >> reporter: while many advanced security measures go unnoticed. officers on horseback almost never do but these men and women, also known as ten-foot cops, do much more than act as a photo op for tourists. sergeant, what do you see? >> lots of people. >> this facility has state-of-the-art system. >> reporter: this is the unit's commanding officer. how important are these horses to the force? >> having that capability at a moment's notice where you don't have resources there yet, but you can start to evacuate people or give direction is invaluable. >> reporter: gelbmnan says it mobility of police give police an added advantage for dealing with an emergency. that is what happened in 2010 when the mounted horseback officers demanded evacuation. >> people are taking direction from our mounted officers out

there to move themselves from the location and there was very clear communication. >> reporter: last week, the nypd unveiled a 30 million dollar state-of-the-art facility to house the elite squad on manhattan's west side. just a quick trot away from times square, penn station, and central park, the new location gives officers easy access to the city's busiest site. >> a lot of people have never seen a horse before and they want to pet them and know his name. >> reporter: stounounds like th are good at communitying policing. >> one of the greatest tools we have. >> reporter: new york city is one of the last cities to actually have horses on active duty. talking to these two officers, they say their nonhuman partners are second to none. gayle? >> do you want to mount up? >> reporter: are you talking to me? >> yes, ma'am. >> is your name michelle? >> reporter: they are beautiebe >> i think it's comforting to see them out in the street. a good barrier for people and it gives you some access to police.

aaa this morning, suggests the number of people flying for thanksgiving will climb to 3.6 million. that's not the only reason you may discover that the planes are feeling a little more cramped these days. kris van cleave is at the reagan national airport outside of washington for with the battle

for the space and the sky. >> reporter: when people get on board the aircraft they might feel crowded and it's not your imagination. the airlines have worked to squeeze in extra rows of seats and that means, over time, the average space between those rows has fallen from about 35 inches here. on average, down about 4 inches and in some a british airlines 777. beyond, that the agency does not set limits on how close rows of seats can be, but much of its own research is done with seats 31 inches apart. that is the spacing for several of the country's biggest carriers. jetblue and allegiant and frontier offer the least with as little as 28 inches of space and seats that don't even recline.

the amount of room you actually have to sit on? the width of your seat may have shrunk down two to as little as 16 inches wide on some airlines. >> if you crowd more and more people together, bad things happen. >> reporter: in august, paul hudson's group flyers right sent the faa a petition with over 30,000 signatures supporting larger seats. asking the agency to stop them from getting any smaller and to create minimum seat size standards. >> it's a safety concern, particularly with evacuations. this hasn't really been tested. it's a health concern with blood clots. it's a security concern when people are having disagreements and even fights over space. >> reporter: hank scott got frustrated with cramped flight and tiny seat and the time it took to board. >> i simply put the seat in a locked position. >> reporter: i helped prevent a different airline seat currently being certified for use and named them side slit seats.

it makes more room in the aisle. the staggered layout also allows the seats to be bigger, while not taking up additional seat on the plane. >> you're not up here jockeying for elbow space. you're back here and have an extra two-inch width here and still a standard seat and so is this but those passengers have more space because they are not elbow-to-elbow, arm-to-arm, side-by-side. >> reporter: the trade association that represents the airline says the seats are safe and the faa should leave it up to the market to determine how much space customers want. it's worth pointing out that those super discount carriers that offer the least space and even when the seats don't recline are the most profitable in the business. >> i do. it's a little tight sitting that close to everybody. >> nobody likes to be closed up on the airplane. nobody does. when they recline the seat and cuts off your calculation, not good. proof of what is happening in

this is a cbs news special report. i'm jim axelrod from cbs news headquarters in new york. we're on the air because president obama is about to make a statement from the white house. the subject is homeland security. as millions of americans hit the highways and head to the airports and train stations for the thanksgiving holiday. the president has been meeting with his national security team in the white house situation room about how to protect the country in the wake of the proper attacks in paris 12 days ago. isis claimed responsibility for the attacks which killed 130 people and is threatening more attacks, including here in the united states. now, as we wait for the president to appear in the roosevelt room, chip reid joins us from the white house lawn. good morning, chip. >> reporter: good morning, jim. the president met with his national security team for just under an hour and he's just about to give a statement about that meeting, but they've

already pretty much telegraphed what he's going to say. the white house issued a statement a short time ago saying as we approach the holiday season, it is important to note that at present we know of no credible and specific intelligence indicating a paris-like plot on the u.s. homeland, and this follows another meeting last night with the national security council after which they issued a statement saying the president was briefed that there is currently no specific credible threat to the homeland from isis. so clearly the president wants to drive home that message, that people should feel safe and can go about their business over the thanksgiving holidays. by the way, this statement is expected to last about six to eight minutes and the president is not expected to take any questions from the press. jim? >> okay. president barack obama about to make a statement about security as everybody starts this getaway day of holiday weekend travel. 42 million americans expected to travel 50 miles or more over the next four or five days of this holiday weekend. 2 million americans are expected to travel each day as well.

so the president i'm sure wants to make some kind of statement about security as millions of americans are ready to hit the road on this holiday weekend. chip, let me ask you why the president feels the need to address -- make this kind of statement twice in two days? >> reporter: well, they have made clear at the white house that the president has been really focused like a laser beam on the homeland security situation in the united states following those attacks in paris because, clearly, people are nervous, and he wants to reassure them that there is no credible evidence that any kind of attack is in the works. now, they always caution that there are -- there is the potential for lone wolves out there who are not involved in any kind of organized effort to inflict harm on the homeland, but they also want to assure people that so many people are supposed to be traveling and buying and going about their lives and celebrating the

thanksgiving holidays, and they want to make clear that people can go about doing that at least over the thanksgiving holidays. that's really what they're emphasizing here. >> and the president, of course, will be joined by his national security team as he makes a statement. chip, how much do you suspect any criticism of the president's handling of the isis threat so far is responsible for this sort of raised profile on this issue, again, not just yesterday with a statement but today? >> reporter: well, i think he is trying to deflect that criticism. he has stuck to his plan in syria refusing to send any great numbers of ground troops. he said there will be 50 special forces at some point, but they are not even on the ground yet, and he has certainly been criticized by the republican presidential candidates, by republicans in congress, some democrats in congress, even some members of his -- some former members of his national security team who have said he's just not

doing enough to take the battle to isis and to put this threat to an end. he has said repeatedly he intends to degrade, destroy, eradicate isis with the help of other powers, but it has not been enough for his critics who have come back at him over and over again saying you need to do more. now, in his press conference yesterday with french president hollande, he did say that they have put together additional plans, and he intends to execute those plans, but he did not go into any detail on that. it will be interesting to see if he does that in this six to eight minute statement. i think he will talk about certainly homeland security and the fact that he believes that we are -- there are no attacks in the works, but it will be interesting to hear if he also talks about the need for the other nations, the 65-nation coalition, the anti-isis coalition. he has made very clear he's

dissatisfied with the amount of effort some of those nations are putting forth and as joe biden said yesterday in a brief off-camera press conference at the white house after the president's conference, he said that we're shouldering practically all of the load here, and the implication being the other nations in europe and in the middle east need to be picking up some of that load. >> chip, let me follow up for just a second on the meeting yesterday at the white house with the french president francois hollande. in your view, did the president and -- do you feel that he was receiving any sort of criticism coming out of that meeting for the way he appeared next to president hollande in terms of sort of just the strength of position and articulation of his position about isis? >> reporter: well, he certainly had some very strong words calling isis barbaric and making very clear that they need to be destroyed, but, you know, he has had strong words about isis

before, and some of the criticism has been that his actions don't match his words, and after suggesting yesterday that he does have other plans in the works, people are very curious to see what he does have in the works. i mean, certainly he has talked about the need for better coordination among all the nations fighting isis. certainly that shoot down by turkey of that russian plane yesterday cries out for better coordination, even with russia, which is not part of the anti-isis coalition. it's part of a two-nation coalition as the president said of just iran and russia, both of which want to keep assad in power in syria, but he's called for better coordination. he's called for other nations to do more, but what his critics in the united states and, again, that includes democrats and even former members of his own national security team, what they are looking for is more evidence that the president is going to exert or u.s. military muscle in the situation in syria

and northern iraq, and there has not been much evidence of that, although he may have suggested yesterday that plans on that are in the works. he was very unclear what he meant when he said that they have put together other plans and they are going to execute those plans. >> and, of course, president hollande has been widely credited in his response, a forceful response, and so standing side by side with the french president who received high marks of his handling in the situation in paris while president obama has been roundly criticized in some parts of this sort of political debate that's going on in this country with the backdrop of a presidential election coming up next year, there was that marked contrast yesterday as well at the white house. >> reporter: well, certainly president holland is highly motivated to make clear to the world and to the people of france that he is doing everything that he possibly can to make sure that there is not another paris, not just in paris

but anywhere in europe or the middle east. this is a situation where paris had been criticized prior to this for not doing much, and he is not doing enough in syria and allowing the u.s. to carry a lot of the load. that's at least how a lot of people here at the white house feel, that the u.s. has been carrying practically the whole load, and i think the white house is pleased to see france and other nations now making clear that they are going to contribute more mightily to this effort in syria. >> so you've covered the white house for any number of years. you were told it would be a statement, five, six, seven minutes, two-minute warning and then this sort of period of time expands. what might you think is going on right now? why has the president not come out when we were told it was going to be a couple minutes? >> reporter: i was talking about coordination, communication, apparently there's a gap in coordination and communication

at the white house right now. they did say two-minute warning. it's certainly more than two minutes. perhaps he started to leave the situation room, somebody brought something else up. perhaps he's not happy with the statement that was drafted for him and he's going over that. it's hard to predict what's going behind those doors you see there in the roosevelt room. he will probably come in the door to the right. that's the one that's closer to the situation room where this meeting happened, although he could go to the oval office and come in the other door but we spend a lot of our day wondering here at the white house what exactly is going on behind those closed doors and it's a bit of a mystery. they're pretty good at t two-warnings normally but obviously this is not the two-minute worarning they told it was going to be. >> for context we talk about the president's statement and it coming on a day of great travel. two days ago the state department issued a worldwide travel alert saying current information suggests that isis

and al qaeda as well as other terror groups continue to plan attacks in a number of regions and american travelers were urged among other things to avoid large crowds. one of the weapons in the arsenal, if you will, right now of sort of calming america is to do a lot of communication and make sure that there's no shortage of warnings and updates and that's the sort of thing that you think is going on this morning in terms of the president coming out and speaking. >> that's right. and you draw an interesting contrast, that at the same time we're telling americans outside of the united states, people who are perhaps vacationing or working overseas, to avoid large crowds and, you know, a lot of warnings, a lot of danger implicit and explicit in the messages from the white house, but here in the united states what they're trying to emphasize is that there are no specific credible threat to the homeland from isis. now, you know, it's entirely possible the president will come out and amend that statement,

but the statement -- the second statement we got from the white house within the last 18 hours or so says that at present we know of no credible and specific intelligence indicating a paris-like plot on the u.s. homeland, and that one came out just a short time ago. so i think that's probably consistent with what the president is going to say when he f oes come through that door. >> okay. chip, we're just going to take a break right now. obviously there's a miscommunication with the white house and the two-minute warning. we'll join our regular programming and come back as soon as we know the president is ready to speak. for now i'm jim axelrod, cbs news in new york. news in new york. >> for news 24 hours a but happy thanksgiving anyway. now's the time to sit down, watch "let's make a deal," eat a lot of turkey, go to sleep, but not during the show, because that would be rude. three people, let's go. the lady with the "let's deal turkey sign." the lady with the "let's deal turkey" sign. let's see.
