late last night to a potential sighting but that search came to an end without any sign of the alleged gunman. norah. >> rjericka, thank you. one victim inside the cafe shop reportedly struggled with the victim that allowed them to storm the cafe and ben tracy is in australia's largest city where people are reeling from the attack. ben, good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. you're right, a lot of people feel shaken near sydney this morning. this memorial is a place where a lot of people have been coming all day, leaving flowers to pay their respects. meanwhile, overnight, the police here in sydney are launching what they call operation hammerhead, employing a large number of police officers all over the city in the wake of this hostage scandal. following a loud bang, five hostages trapped inside the

>> reporter: now, the sydney police say they want people here to carry on with their lives today. they want them to come back to the central business district. and they say that all the streets that have been shut down will be reopened by later this morning. charlie. >> ben, thanks. john miller is the new york city police department deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism. he's also our former senior correspondent. welcome back to studio 57. >> good to be here, charlie. >> tell me whether an attack like this in your judgment is inevitable in the united states, or in new york city? nd are we prepared and how do we prepare against it? >> i think in many ways it is inevitable. i think it's less a question of if, more a question of when. and i say that in the context which is you don't have to go back to ancient history or trace the lines to 9/11. you have go back to september, when isis put out the call through its official spokesman for people to attack in their own countries with what they have at hand. and then you have to go back to

october, where i think the 20th, you see martin ruleo run over soldiers with his truck. the next day you see mr. debeaux attack parliament with a rifle. two days 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 preceding the attack of new york city police officers. you see the action in australia. you see the threat level go up in britain and in sydney because of isis calls directly to people there. so, this is a 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 have been going on for 13 years. we have a distinct advantage in that there are 1,000 people in the nypd who work counterterrorism matters on a daily basis. hundreds more in the fbi who are dedicated to that, not in a part-time way, but in a constant way. and there's a very strong

partnership. there's 400 people in the emergency service unit which would be the equivalent of our s.w.a.t. teams. so if you take a small scenario of in one location, as we saw in sydney. or a wider cast like the mumbai attacks. or one of the few cities that is scaled to meet that. >> the interesting thing about what happened in sydney is that the person responsible for this had a long history of run-ins with the cops. i mean he was a bad guy. but as counterterrorism analysts point out, you can't keep 24-hour surveillance on these type of people. how many are there of these type of people in new york you that keep constant surveillance on, how do you keep track of them? >> well, we have a daily meeting where we kind of go over who's on the radar, how did they get on the radar. do we know enough about them to figure out is there legal action that can be taken. are they arrestable. is this an investigation? what twools that require? and that's a bit of a nil.

but you're correct. it's something we talk about every day. >> yeah. >> were there any lessons learned, do you think, by u.s. officials in how it was handled yesterday in australia? >> i spoke to andrew scipione, the police commissioner in sydney today, the new commissioner of police, i asked him just that, what can we take from this. he went over for me a lot of the tactical considerations in what happened. i think from each one of these, we can learn a lesson. we'll learn a couple out of this. and we'll talk about them more. >> which are? >> i think there's a good reason not to share the tactical lessons, if we share them with you which is a good thing, but we're also sharing them with people out there thinking about doing this kind of thing. the global community in the counterterrorism world. andrew scipione used to be the head of counterterrorism before the commissioner.

nicky calvez and with andrew and nicky when i was in the fbi. >> we want to continue the conversation, did you stay, in the studio. >> i'll be here. bill cosby's wife is standing by her husband this morning. it is the very first time that we're hearing from camille cosby since renewed accusations of sexual assault surfaced against bill cosby. vinita nair is here with why the timing of her message, her forceal message is important. vinita, good morning. good morning. for several week, camille cosby remained quiet as accuser after accuser came out against her husband. she's taking a shot at the media. >> reporter: in her first public comments camille cosby maintained that her husband of 50 years is not the same person dedepicted in the headlines. in a statement she said the man i meet and fell in love with and

whom i continue to love is the man you all knew through his work. he is a kind man, a generous man. >> he really needs that 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 these accusations. >> reporter: last week, johnson, a former supermodel became the latest of accusing cosby of drugging her. >> i remember being so disappointed. it was like a family member betrayed me. >> reporter: camille slammed the media saying there appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers. and she compared an article from an alleged gang rape at the university of virginia. cosby continues, none of us will ever want to be in a position of attacking a victim. but the question should be asked, who is the victim? >> it appears that they're trying to say that the media should just ignore these

accusations. and that's not going to happen. >> reporter: attorneys for cosby have repeatedly denied allegations. the comedian drew more attention over the weekend when he told the "new york post" he expects the black media will remain neutral. but cosby's lawyer criticized freelance reporter stacy brown. in a statement he said he did not indicate he was interviewing mr. cosby for publication. on cnn last night, brown called the comment preposterous. >> what 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 tried to distance them from cosby. sunday, spellman college in atlanta, suspended a membership named after cosby and his wife. no relief for parts of california as more rain target, the west coast. floods have created temporary rivers in the san francisco bay

horrific taliban attack this morning are children. they attended a school where a gunman started shooting. >> killers wounded dozens of other people. they also took from the students hostage at the school in peshawar. clarissa ward warned that the siege lasted for hours. >> a pakistani military operation to end the siege is ongoing. the army says it is has killed six militants thus far. and the remaining attackers have been confined to one block of the school. but the progress has been slow because of bombs that have been planted. now people standing outside the school tell cbs news they continue to hear explosions and gunfire coming from inside. the siege began at 11:00 this morning when more than a dozen attackers scaled a wall, stormed a school and began firing on students and teachers. pakistani military vehicles quickly flooded the area. there were helicopters overhead. as the army began an operation to try to end the siege. the school is run by the

pakistani military. but many of the students are also private students enrolled. not all of them are children of pakistani military personnel. hospitals have been flooded with injured students. one of those hospitals now appealing for blood. and most of the dead and injured are children between the ages of 12 and 16. the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack saying this is revenge for ongoing military operations in the militant stronghold of waziristan. norah. >> clarissa, thank you. nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai is speaking out about this attack. a taliban member shot her in the head a couple years ago. she said i am heartbroken by this senseless and cold-blooded act of terror in peshawar that

counterterrorism center have done a very good job of tracking people who are being recruited by isis. being recruited by al nusra, which is the al qaeda-assocated arm fighting in syria. and either stopping them on the way out or intercepting them on wait 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, people have the ability to travel. and then you have to keep track of them. >> nypd responded to the attack in the city 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 at night, is 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

lindt chocolate store. we have two or three of those in town. all the time that 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? and you're saying if you take the new york overlay, how do you apply for positions there? the dispatch was sent to the financial center, the columbus circle. to key australian locations. and some of that will head down now, now that we have an understanding of what this was and who this suspect was. >> watching it yesterday and certainly a lay person with no police experience, there seemed to be a few times when 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 situations that are tactical. one might be when you have an individual that has a backpack that says has three kilos of explosives with him. there are a number of tactics. one say dead man's switch which

if he falls down there detonate everybody in that the place. but another is they were asking to harden their targets because they knew it was a potential terrorist attack. many of those places have bulletproof glass which would be resistant to a sniper's bullet. there were a lot of challenges for the new wales police involved in that incident. when you see the timing of what they did, how they did it or the decisions they made, i don't think you could have done or achieved a better outcome tactically? >> are there their strategies when it's a criminal hostage situation and a terrorist hostage situation? >> that's an interesting question. in a criminal hostage situation, they just got surrounded by the police robbing the bank. their motive is how do i get out and how do i get the best deal. when you have a terrorist operation, you have a couple other thing, oftentimes, they go

in not intending to get out alive and they don't care. nor do they care to get everybody else alive. that's an important distinction if university negotiator. sometimes, the idea that they go on long can be the sign, well, they want to talk but oftentimes, it's just to keep the world attention of live tv focused there. if you're the negotiator, you want to keep it going. if you're the tactical plan commander you want to keep it going to the minute you need it. >> and what have we learned with the way isis uses social media and the internet? >> everything, charlie. i think if you take the isis pitch and you bring in the best madison avenue ad executive and say how are they doing? they really have broken the mold. the quality of the film. the use of editing pack avenues like final cut from apple. and the special effects they're

a farmer that we spoke to today said his concern is that hike in interest is going to stop people from borrowing in order to get by. his words are, it's like being on the "titanic." you can worry all you want but there's not much you can do about the iceberg. norah. >> thank you, charlie. that's a huge hike. ahead on "cbs this morning" how some of the top news stories made it into google's annual list of top trending
