presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." we are following breaking news in the air war against isis. is that to member, turkey, says it shot down a russian warplane flying from syria that violated turkey air space. video shows the fighter jet on fire before it crashed into mountains, smoke rises over the ridge. >> now, turkey says the plane ignored repeated warnings. moscow denied that. the u.s. sent a drone to check for wreckage. charlie d'agata is following good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the turkish military said they gave ten minutes as it was flying over the airspace. they say they got no refly. opened fire. video shot from below shows the russian warplane plummeted towards the ground in flames before impact.

at least one parachute was seen descending after the strike. unverified video posted from syrian rebels in the area appears to show a motionless russian crewman t. rebels say he's dead. though it's unclear if true whether le died in the initial strike or fun fire on the ground. helicopters were then seen over the scene of the crash in an apparent search and rescue for the lost crew t. russian defense ministry confirmed one of its f-16 fighter jets was downed by gunfire, insisted it remained in territory. the they released this radar, the red line showing the movements of the downed jets, the turks saying it sleerly shows the jet briefly crossed into their airspace t. region is filled with syrian rebels who are ethnic turks. and turkey has bitterly criticized the russians for the

bombardment of the area of its campaign in syria. a u.s. official confirms to "cbs news" the russian plane was in turkish airspace. it was close, but what was in turkish airspace t. downing of a fighter jet not onlyunder lines that they are fly income crowded skies over syria, russia and turkey are on opposite side. rush backs the assad regime, turkey is also a nato allie t. kremlin has called it a very serious incident. nato is calling for an emergency meeting this afternoon. gayle. >> thank you, charlie d'agata reporting from london. police are on the alert here in the united states. they have been warned a btd the new threat from isis. sources tell "cbs news," the fbi and department of homeland security sent out a joint intelligence bulletin that tells tell about the terror groups newest tactic. a "cbs news" poll have people more fearful of a terrorist attacks. 69% think an attack is very or

somewhat likely to happen in the next few months. jeff pegues is at reagan national airport. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is an intelligent bulletin that went out late monday. it's another element of homeland security as law enforcement agencies, both local, state and federal step up security across the country. the information in this intelligence bulletin that went out monday includes information gathered since the paris attacks. it gives local law enforcement officials the tools they need to counter this new threat from isis of these coordinated attacks. agencies nationwide are retraining officers and active shooter drills. just as the new york police department did on sunday. we saw that where they shut down a subway station. they were working and practicing to neutralize threats. there will be enhappensed security at airports across the monday. the state department issued a world wide travel alert for all

americans ahead of the busy holiday travel season. officials say terror groups like isis and al qaeda continue to plan attacks, using conventional and non-conventional weapons. they warn of lone wolf attacks, u.s. citizens should remain vigilant. especially when they are traveling overseas in large public places. now, federal law enforcement officials are still saying there is no credible or specific threat against the u.s., but this intel bulletin and the travel alert suggests they are charlie. >> thank you, jeff, michael morell, a former fbi/cia >> good morning. >> how serious should we take these travel alerts? >> the one overseas, it's obvious we need to take that serious given what's happened in paris and isis' capably in western university. here at home, i do think we need to think seriously about a possible attack over the holidays, for two reasons. isis has thousands of followers here in the united states.

they have now been incentivized in paris to do something here. we know those same 350e78 were focused on the fourth of july. so you'd think they were focused on the holiday period. >> if we have an attack like in paris? what would that change? >> i think this is a fundamental question that should be grappled with in the situation room. if we have a paris-style attack, what would our policy then be vis-a-vis isis. the second question, if that would be our policy the day after, why isn't that our policy the day before? that's the fundamental lesson learned from 9/11. >> that's the question we ask when we saw the bombing of the oil delivery in that side of raqqah. >> that's all rules of engagement, right? >> how good they, mike, when you look at it?

sophisticated, organized, a high degree of intelligence? >> it's counterintuitive, but the vast majority of terrorists are not particularly intelligent, they're not particularly sophisticated. they make a lot of mistakes. the mohammed atta's of the world, the ground commander of 9/11 the masterminds are rare. >> the point is they're willing to die. let's talk about the breaking news this morning, this russian jet downed by turkey. how significant is that? >> all right. i think it's significant in the sense that the fundamental problem that we have to solve to go after isis and syria is assad. all right. there's got to be some sort of an agreement among all the players in what happens to him. all right. so that we can focus the syrian army on isis. this complicates that, because right? which is assad gets to stay and turkey is on the other side, assad has to go right now. it complicates that discussion. >> how are they settled?

the table and talking. >> that will be the main issue discussed between the president and french president hollande. >> michael morell, thank you. michael is staying to answer your questions on isis and national security. you can join us on our facebook page. a french judge is questioning a suspect who lent his apartment to the organizer of the terrorist attacks. important evidence may be tied he main suspect last seen across the border in belgium. reports say he may have failed to carry out a planned attack on the same night. brussels is under a lockdown for the fourth day bus of a terror threat. deborah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the focus of belgium police here is on the hunt for salah abdeslam, europe's most wanted manned and a key suspect in the paris aterrorist attacks. they could not provide them with

a vital clue t. suicide vest was found in a people of trash by a street cleaner in the paris suburb of montrouge without a detonator. police officials say it contains similar explosives to those used in the paris attacks more than ten days ago. french police have not formally linked the vest to salah abdeslam, but it was found near the area where his cell phone was used. belgium police are on a nation wide manhunt for salah abdeslam. he evatd police after the paris attack and was last seen in brusselles t. belgium capital is on its fourth day of lockdown of a paris-style attack on the city remains high t. city schools and metro are closed until tomorrow and public gatherings like concerts and soccer games have been banned. belgium residents like kathy frederick are starting to wonder how long these stringent measures will be kept up? >> we are scared for our children, for ourselves, for our

own lives, we are scared to take public transport, that's for sure. >> reporter: adding to anxiety here is that isis has released a new propaganda video, featuring a belgium jihadi threatening charlie. >> thanks, deborah. president obama meets in a hollande. they will discuss isis and strategy. chip reid is at the white house where it could lead to a larger military rule for the united states. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, a european official tells cbs news property hollande is coming to the white house with a threat from isis requires certain action and the stability of europe is at stake. the white house is the first stop for vice president francois hollande as he visits world leaders pushing for more action against isis. he told reporters, france will

intensify its airstrikes. karen donfried says they could push for a stepped up air campaign since president obama opposes booting large numbers of boots oak. >> i think president hollande says except that's your position. can you step up the various aspects of that policy? >> reporter: also in play, america's rocky relationship with russia, president hollande will visit moscow later this week. the u.s. has been skeptical of russia's involvement in syria and whether it is fighting to keep president bashar al-assad in power or focusing on isis after the group claimed responsibility for bombing a russian plane leaving egypt last month. hollande is expected to continue his call for the u.s. and russia, to fight together in a single broad coalition. the white house says they will russia, but at this point they are making no promises. norah. >> all right, chip reid. thank you so much.

presidential front runner donald trump will bring back water boarding or go further if necessary. polls show trump leading in iowa, ted cruz is right behind him. ben carson who led in iowa a month ago is now third. the pom find iowa republicans give trump the most support for handling terrorism. nancy cordes reports the billionaire is using a 9-11 memory to back up his claims. >> reporter: the fact checkers make trump seem more convinced he did see thousands of muslim americans celebrating on 9/11. he repeated the claim in ohio and blamed the media on the controversy. >> nobody will believe me. some people believe me. by the way, thousands of people believe me, because they saw it. >> reporter: in columbus, ohio, trump told a supported crowd he is right even if the video he claims he saw doesn't exist. >> though i have some good people and they checked and they checked and believe me, it's been cleared off, plenty of stuff.

>> reporter: for a few hours monday, trump got back-up from his closest gop rival dr. bern carson said he saw footage of muslims celebrating, too. >> did you see that happening on 9/11? >> i saw the film of it, yeah. >> reporter: that was at 2:00 p.m. by 5:00, carson's camp was telling "cbs news" dr. carson is really not standing by the statement he made today t. ample news footage of celebrations he saw was from the middle east. carson and trump called for more under surveillance of muslim americans at mosques and elsewhere. on the ireilly show last night, trump said they shouldn't accept refugees either. >> when they come in from syria guests of president obama. we shouldn't be taking any. we don't know who they are. >> reporter: he argued his views aren't discriminatory. >> i'm probably the least racist person on earth. >> reporter: trump is on fire

he saw showing most whites murdered were killed by blacks, actually the opposite is true. trump said last night he shouldn't have to check every fact he sends to his 5 million follower, gayle. >> nancy, thank you. this morning, minneapolis police are looking for three men who reportedly opened fire on a group of protesters. five people were hurt last night but are expected to be okay. it happened near the police precinct, where crowds had gathered for more than a week. many are campening out there in protest over the deadly police shooting of 24-year-old jamar clark earlier this month. witnesses say he was in handcuffs at the time he was shot. a demand for answers this morning in the nfl, the league and players union hold a mandatory conference call today with trainers. this couples after kasey keen um case keen after kase keenum stayed in a game sunday.

>> charlie, good morning, the injury happened at a critical moment, a minute left, game tied. many focused on a game's score less so on safety. >> oh, boy, you see him go down, hit the back of the head. right left him seasoned, his head in pain. >> still the troubling spots when we talk about the concussion at the nfl level. >> reporter: dr. dennis cardone is the aa at the medical center. >> not a bad hit. to the ground. you see difficulty getting umm. he is staggering. >> for you, these are obvious signs of a concussion? >> these are clear signs of a concussion and head injury. something we would be concerned about. >> reporter: but keenum stayed in the game. >> we did not see it on the jumbotron. had we seen that, then, you know, we would have taken a different course of action. we were not aware of that.

fluid. a concussion occurs when the brain hits the scum. after denying long-term brain impairment, the nfl issued a new protocol in 2013. >> you think the game is safer than before? >> reporter: commissioner goodell says concussions are down 25%. >> i think it's safer. sports. they're certainly a part of football. football is a contact sport. >> reporter: more than two dozen medical staff, are supposed to keep an eye on players in 2k3w5i78s. including an independent spoter in the press box. the spoter fisher says didn't intervene sunday because ram's head trainer reggie scott was on the field. >> if a trainer is attending a player, kase felt he was okay. he was actually told the leave the field. >> the system fell a part here. we need to fix it.

>> more people in the position to say he needs to come out? >> probably more independent people not in the moment of the game to make an independent decision and potentially the right decision. >> so the rams say the spoter didn't stop because the trainer was on the field t. trainer was pulled off by an nfl official. the doctors officially diagnosed keenum with a concussion. >> thank you very much. he launched amazon and changed the way we shopt shop. now, jeff bezoed is making an good morning, everybody. sunshine and a cold start to the day. enjoy the bright sunshine while it lasts. we've got building clouds this afternoon. chilly high temperatures will lower into the 40s but not as windy as yesterday.

he joins us from the launch site in texas. jeff, good morning. >> good morning, guys, how are you? >> we begin with this. why is this a game changer? >> well, you know, charlie, you've seen a lot of rockets take off in your time, but you've never seen one land and automatic rockets that we've ever flown as a civilization have been expendable. we use them one time and we throw them away. the rocket you are seeing behind me is completely reusable. that's a game changer, because it changes the cost structure of space travel completely. throwing rockets away is like getting in your 747 and flying across the country and throwing the 747 away. you only use it one sometime. >> does that add velocity to when we will all be traveling in space? >> yes. you know, our long-term vision at blue origin is millions of people living and working in space, helping to continued to explore the solar system.

charlie, reusability is a total game changer for that. >> so where does blue origin stand right now, jeff? >> well, we just, successfully flew this vehicle and returned it to the launch site for the first time and for the next couple of years, we will continue with a very methodical test program. one of the good things about this vehicle is it can fly autonomously. it's kind of a flying robot. it can fly up into space, bring itself down and land. so we don't have to put pilots at risk during the test program. once we're completely confident in the vehicle, we'll start taking people up into space. >> how much do you estimate it will cost for a ride? >> we don't know yet. it's going -- we have to wait another year or so before we're ready to set the price. for people who are interested in that, they can go to the blue origin website and sign up, as soon as we have ticket information, we'll e-mail them.

go, charlie. if you want to come with me, you are invited. >> i got you, you heard that. i'll go. >> charlie wants to go with. jeff, where does your passion come from? you changed the game in the online business, you are in the drone business, where discuss your tackling space come from? >> you know when i was five-years-old, i watched neil armstrong step on the surface of the moon. it just instilled a huge passion in me for engineering, science, exploration. i have been the kind of crazy about rockets since i was a little boy. you don't change your passions. your passions choose you. this is just in me. >> got it. >> on another big question, amazon looking for a big christmas? >> it will be a record holiday, charlie. our fulfillment centers are filled to the brim with all kind

of things for the holiday. we have never been faster at delivering or more reliable. we have been getting better every year. we are ready, we're excited. >> i want to ask you about the "new york times" piece earlier this year about amazon that point i painted the culture. it was a bruising work force. how did that change things inside the company and have people e-mailed you directly as you ask them to do in a memo? >> yeah, i did. i got some e-mails. most of them were from people saying that's not my experience. you know, the thing is you can't have a corporate culture that's like the one described there and then do the things that amazon does. the kind of innovation and invention the things we do. it requires people not just to show up at work, to be deeply engaged in the mission. they have to love what they're doing. you know, we're number of inventors and people who like serving customers. and, you know, i tap dance into work every day. i work with a lot of people like that, too.

>> the washington post, you now own the washington post. can you tell us where you are taking it and what's happening there? >> well, you know, what we are doing with the post is, we're working on becoming the new paper of record, charlie. we have always been a local paper. just this month, the washington post passed the "new york times" in terms of number of viewers online. this is a joao zbantic accomplishment for the post team. so we're just going to keep after. that the reason that's working is because we have such a talented team we post. it's all about quality journalism. even here in the internet age and the a intrs sen 21st century, people want quality journalism. >> define what you think the washington post is today? >> well the walk post today is a bright light that helps shine

political process, you know, we know that some of the things that have happened in the past, you know, we wish we had known more about our political leaders and our other powerful institutions in this country and that's been the role of the "post" for a long time. we will keep doing that. we are doing it now with more resources. we have a lot of patience for that job. we will keep working at it and make sure that institution stays strong so that it can shine a light on all of these important players, especially in washington. >> i can't wait to see you and charlie in space, jeff. i am on the ground cheering you guys on. when is that going to happen? >> i think it will be fantastic. he will be very weightless. it will be amazing. >> he's actually a co-pilot. we can attest to that. we notice it every day. jeff bezos, congratulations. >> all right, guys. >> great for invest income journalism. thank you very much.

while taking, you may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. p xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us. pask your doctor about xarelto . the challenges facing the country never stop. so neither does the u.s. army. we train. adapt. and get smarter. every soldier. every unit. every day. not to keep up

this morning a figure in the past at princeton university is causing many students to call for a change t. debate focuses on a driving force behind the university's expansion in the early 20th century. former u.s. president woodrow wilson is the name we are talking about. michelle miller is on the campus in new jersey with some protesters who say his name is not worthy to be put on the building. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: before woodrow wilson was the nation's 28th president, he was princeton university's 13th.

stone on some building on campus. >> that doesn't sit well with some students. >> people come here. they know about his national/international policy during his time as the president of the united states. part of the problem is his more complex history, his dirtier history is shoved under the rug. >> she is a part of the justice league. the student group takes issue with wilson's racist past. as president, he worked to segregate federal agencies and during his term as princeton, not a single black student was admitted. >> we have been here. >> reporter: last week some 200 students walked out of class in protest. about 15 staged a sit-in at the president's office. among the group's demands, that princeton rename its public policy school and residential college, both bear wilson's name and acknowledge wilson's racist legacy. they would also like to see this

from a campus dining hall. princeton's current president, declined our request for an interview. >> woodrow wilson had these racist attitudes. we should definitely condemn him for that. also we should remember historic am features are creatures of the time they live. >> reporter: evan dream is with a open colleague. >> with respect to the good and bad with woodrow wilson. he is a part of this history. erasing it will fought do us any favors. >> reporter: the controversy comes at a time of heightened racial tensions on campuses across the country. earlier this month, the university of missouri's president stepped down after african-american students, including members of their football program, complained of his inaction addressing racial issues on campus. and at yale, protests swelled after a fraternity allegedly turned down black women from

entering the party. but for princeton students, still trying to find their place in the debate. one thing is clear. >> you know, it's difficult because you can't tell somebody that they should or shouldn't feel something. but i really think that, you know, his name should be used as sort of a catalyst for conversation and engaging the community. >> reporter: well, in a statement released to the princeton community on sunday, president eisengruber wrote on the race, as a university jts, we have to be open to thoughtful re-examination of our own history and i believe it is appropriate to engage our community in a careful exploration of this legacy. norah. >> all right, michelle, thank you so much. coming up, why did tom brady call out the opposing coach's name in the nfl game? we will show you the unusual

warplane was, in fact, in turkish airspace. it was close, it was clearly in turkish airspace. military officials also tell "cbs news" a u.s. drone has been sent to assist the russian search and rescue mission. it is the first time a russian or soviet plane has been shot down by a nato member since the 1950s. nato calls for an emergency meeting this afternoon. norah. >> that is significant, charlie d'agata in london. thank you so much. this morning the fbi and homeland security department are warning police across the u.s. about the latest threat. they say the joint focus focuses on the new tactics. at the same time the state department is warning holiday travelers to be on alert between now and the last week of february. federal officials emphasize they've seen no specific or credible threat to the u.s. former deputy director told us the terrorist attacks give isis

of doing. he has demonstrated that, you know, he's forceful. he is decisive. he has shown the ability to deploy forces, expeditionary capabilities and so forth. he's shown that he stands by his guise and bashar has been his guy. russia has it's only naval base in the mediterranean down at tar the touse -- tarouse. he's the only one to overthrow governmental leaders, however strong men they may be, for fear that someone might get the same idea about him. >> he thinks he is stabilizing the way you said it might become a vacuum for a whole range of things? >> he can make that case. it diverts attention from ukraine, to some degree, sadly, fighting has flared up again there. he would love to get out from under the sanctions.

his economy is in tatters, they're essentially in procession, oil price is down 55%. gas prices will go down next as natural gas enters europe. so he has a bleak prospect of the future. it's not as strong hand it appears i don't think and yet he is playing it with fairly good tactical skill. >> it's interesting. >> that will be the next i think the chess board that's involved here in that putin will want from the u.s. and europe the listing of these economic sanctions that were imposed after the annexation of crimea and in return moscow will help move assad out of power. >> exactly. that's one of the bargains he will talk about. >> it want to know what the serious consequences mean. it's a very frightening thought. president obama and french president francois hollande will discuss the isis threat this morning at the white house. hollande is collecting promises from france's allies to take

stronger action against the group that ordered those paris terrorist attacks. he calls the isis threat an emergency that puts american's european allies in jeopardy. hol laendz will hold a similar meeting with russian president putin on thursday. president obama and president hollande will hold a joint conference right after the meeting.

the problem is we don't know that much about them. >> why the backlash? - >> everybody says the fda is saying this is safe to eat. but you do not have a right to know if it's genetically modified or not. so everybody, myself included, say, listen, i want to know what i eat. i have a right to know what's going on here? >> why are they taking a position you don't have a right to know what you are eating? >> good question. i think it is right to know. there data it may be safe. i think more data is needed. they haven't done long-term data in humans at all. at the same time we need to know what is in our food what our food is made of t. company should have the obligation of proving to us why it's safe. not the fda saying no label. >> are you generally scared of genetically modified food? >> i think it's inevitable, with

fields in nebraska to new york city. we have a right the eat what we want and know the outcome. how it affects us. >> what's the worst case scenario? >> the worst case scenario is they get and change the other fish and ecosystem. they are larger, grow quicker, may outcompete other fish and change the dynamics in our lakes and oceans. >> we have been eating genetically modified corn and right? your issue is we don't know yet about the safety. your issue is transparency, label it? >> we have a right to know. at the same time, 80% of the corn products out there, soy, are genetically modified. we need to do studies to understand. they were made so farmers can do better. so it can tolerate drought. not have pesticides. at the same time, how discuss it affect health, our long-term well being? the only way you know is through real transparency.
