11:32 am
happen here. >> reporter: ramped up security in new york. police deploying a new counterterrorism unit. >> some of what we have to be constantly focused on is not only significant areas such as times square or many of the tourist atracks our stadiums or major events but the soft targets. >> reporter: also deploying overseas, this carrier group from norfolk deploying to the mediterranean. previously brand, but its focus now isis. intelligence officials said this demonstrates isis' advanced capabilities. >> i would anticipate this is not the only operation that isil has in the pipeline. counterterrorism officials tell nbc news that isis launched a 24 hour help desked manned by a half dozen senior operatives offering tech support to would be terrorists on how to encrypt messages, defying growing calls for stronger u.s. military force in syria, some from within hiss
11:33 am

11:34 am
the syrian refugees come into the u.s. the states here in green as of right now there's about nine of them that say they are still going to welcome the syrian refugees. let's show you our area right now. you see pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware. i'll go ahead and show you delaware governor jack markell has said he will still allow syrian refugees to come into his state. new jersey, governor chris christie is the only one at this point who said he will not welcome any more syrian refugees. he said he would not even allow orphans, that was in a radio show yesterday. you have pennsylvania governor tom wolf said he will continue welcoming the syrian refugees but says there does need to be a process to make sure that these folks are vetted. i just spoke with pennsylvania senator pat toomey not long ago, within the past hour and he says there needs to be more that is done in order to make sure that these folks are not terrorists coming into our country. take a listen to what he had to say. we here in the united states, we have to reexamine the security
11:35 am
protocols we use for admitting syrian refugees and until we have done that we should suspend the program. the fact, is most refugees are innocent people in dire situati situations, i have no doubt of that. but the syrian refugee admittance program has several major flaws. most importantly, there is no reliable way of vetting those who come from these chaotic terrorist havens. >> a bit of concern there from pennsylvania senator pat toomey there. the states you see here in gray have 23409 come out on any position at this point but you see the entire u.s., there is a lot of states there, a lot of states that are coming out in support or against the syrian refugees. but here's the thing, immigration experts say whether states are for or against this it doesn't matter. under the refugee act of 1908, governors cannot legally block the refugees from residing in their state. but many leaders as you just heard are still putting their thoughts and positions out there. vai? >> matt, thank you. of course, stay with nbc 10 for updates on the terror attacks in

11:37 am
aids but sheen has been taking anti-retro viral drugs and his doctor says he is healthy. sheen says he's speaking about his condition to help others. >> it's a hard three letters to absorb, you know? it's a turning point in one's life. >> sheen says he went public with his condition to put a stop to what he called shakedowns from prostitutes and others who threatened to reveal his secret. he admit he is has paid people millions of dollars to buy their silence but says after today he's not paying anything anymore. it feels more like november today after yesterday's unseasonable warm warmth things are back to normal today but the average conditions not going to last that long. nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast. glenn sent out a memo yesterday declaring 70 degrees.
