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 finally does 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. >> for news 24 hours a . a horrific scene. an elderly driver loses control of her car at a shopping center. today, we hear from witnesses who saw that deadly crash.

millions of americans are making the trek to see family and friends for thanksgiving. >> and right now, the president is meeting with national security advisors. we want to get to a news conference that is going to be taking place underway. afterwards, he is expected to address the nation. a speech we'll be bringing to you live. >> and we're expecting the president to speak any moment now. this is after a meeting with the national security team and that is -- what is going on across the country as folks get out and begin travel plans across the country. a lot of changes are in place at airports. >> and this is the busiest travel season of the yearia. gee and timing is everything. and there are no specific or credible. >> jim axelrod: i'm jim axelrod. president obama making a statement from the white house. >> -- homeland security jai johnston, my f.b.i. director, and my attorney general loretta lynch for a regular update on

and going into the holiday season. i think all of us recognize how horrific and heinous what took place in paris was and, as i said yesterday, for many of us, the events there touched a deep chord, given the connection between the united states and france, the degree to which americans see in paris a way of life that's so familiar to us here in american cities, and given the shocking images, i know that americans have been asking each other whether it's safe here, whether it's safe to fly or gather. i know the families have discussed their fears about the threat of terrorism around the dinner table, many for the first time since september 11. it's understandable that people worry something similar could happen here. watching the events in paris made the threat feel closer to

so as we go into thanksgiving weekend, i want the american people to know we are taking every possible step to keep our homeland safe. first, we're going after i.s.i.l wherever it hides. that's been our strategy for more than a year. i'll speak about this in more detail in the coming weeks, but let me remind the american people of what our coalition of some 65 nations is doing to destroy these terrorists and defeat their ideology. so far military and our partners have conducted more than 8,000 airstrikes on i.s.i.l strongholds and equipment. those airstrikes along with our efforts with partners on the ground have taken out key leaders, have taken back territory from i.s.i.l in both iraq and syria. we continue to work to choke off their financing and their supply lines and countertheir recruitment and messaging and even as america is already supporting french airstrikes in

syria, yesterday president hollande and i agreed our countries are going to step up that coordination even further and do more of that work together. so we're stepping up the pressure on i.s.i.l where it lives and we will not let up. adjusting our tactics when necessary until they are beaten. that's our first goal. second, we continue to do everything possible to prevent attacks at home and abroad and

. wrapping up a special report from president obama releasing a statement on homeland security at the white house. interesting that he reiterated the fact that if you see something, say something, be vigilant and enjoy the holiday. >> and stressing the point there is no specific or incred -- credible threat and encouraging all americans to go out and enjoy the holiday with loved ones. in other news, new york police are putting more plain clothes officers along the iconic macy's thanksgiving day parade route. more than 1 million people are expected tomorrow and this year, they will be using radiation detectors to keep crowds safe. extra security is expect at fenway park today and tomorrow and several high school rivalries will be playing the thanksgiving football games at the historic park. >> and more than 60,000 passengers are expected to come through logan airport today and they'll be greeted by increased security across the country. heavily armed officers will patrol terminals and tsa agents have been told to take their

time screening bags. to keep things moving along, the tsa said to check in and make sure some common items are checked in those bags. and if you have maple syrup or gravy, a bottle of wine, something like that, we see passengers make the mistakes and please put them in checked luggage or pick them up at your destination. >> the tsa said be sure to arrive early and be prepared with ocean on hand. still ahead, a car careens out of control and takes out several people in a busy shopping parking lot. what we're learning about the horrific accident. >> and so the sun is shining out there now. great for travelling and tomorrow looks nice. how that will play into our
