it never will be done. >> the two day summit is expected to attract leaders. >> the current danger of a terrorist strike here in the u.s.? john dickerson of face the nation spoke to nypd chief of intelligence, jon miller and john kerry. >> everybody is concerned because for several years now -- foreign fighters have been returning from syria. or from other locations and implanting themselves in the communities. and this is the threat that we have all been aware of. we have been -- looking for additional screening. we have been engauged, actually with the belgian authorities for some period of time now. trying to fill gaps that they're aware exist. and -- i think everybody is now geared up to recognize that the fight is not in iraq and syria, but wherever the fighters come from. >> belgian officials admit there are lots of gaps in this case. after at takes in paris. what is a sense of urgency? >> great urgency. sense of urgency. >> there is a sense, but can

>> they have to. really have to. i met with the president of the european commission yesterday, the prime minister of belgium made it clear. they know they need to move on these things. hopefully that will happen. it is essential to the long term fight. what is important for people to understand is that we are making real progress. in iraq and syria. in 2014 when they began to sweep across iraq. that's when president obama ordered the initial bombing that stopped them. and since then, we have recouped about 40% of the territory in syria, which they had captured. and we are taking out about one liter every throw days of -- of isil that doesn't mean they're not a threat. they are. a threat in some of the areas where they try to prove their viability. >> you suggested the latest

create a caliphate are falling, collapsing. >> it is not only that. part of their plan. they put people in other places. those attacks will take place whether or not they're collapsing or hurting but i think there are a number of people who believe that there need to reinforce their narrative. that even though they're under pressure, there is still this viable force. is the only way for them to recruit. the only way for them to try to -- provide added morale to people that we know are very much having -- morale problems. in syria and iraq. >> want to ask you about russia where you were. let's not leave europe. you suggest americans traveling to europe should continue with their plans and exercise vigilance. >> what does that mean if i am scheduling a vacation, how do i

>> a matter of common sense. there are guidelines. the state department's ready to help anybody to understand exactly what that means. it means -- avoid a crowded place where you have no control over who may be there. have a sense of vigilance, watch who is a round you. see a guy walking into an airport with a black glove on one hand and nothing the other, and two the same way. pushing a big suitcase. maybe that tells you something. are are things you can be alert to? >> doesn't sound like much of a vacation? >> look, we live in a world today where unfortunately, we have to be vigilant. i mean, look at what happened in san bernardino. there are realities that, there are danger us around. i don't want to scare anybody. i don't think you have to be. the odds of being hit by a terrorist are far less than the odds of an injury in the course of daily life. whether it is an accident, in an automobile. home or elsewhere. so people do not have to live in

this, what's the immediate response of the nypd. >> the immediate response is to very quickly leverage our foreign posts. we have a dozen detectives posted overseas. get to the people, either, where the attack is or in the region. they contact their partners. what we want few know -- what did the bad guys do. their plan. what did they execute. what was the target set? then start to apply protection against the light target sets or other vulnerable locations in new york. the idea is, john in the first hours of these things you never know whether this is a europe based attack or the mumbai attacks in india, or paris attacks. whether this is part of a global set of actions or whether isolated there so. we we go into immediate response, leveraging the 1,500 people in counterterrorism. any aspects of the not a connection, something might be on going in new york. then there is a period where you are learning.

techniques and tactics are. of the terrorists? >> well, a three part process. first immediate response. happens automatically. muscle memory at this point. we launched this one at 4:00. by rush hour. entire city. the second piece looking for the new york connection. is there a new york person involved. a person involved in europe. has a new york connection and drill done to make sure we don't have a thread that need to beep chased here. >> one thing i keep reading abut. how adaptable isis is? is that something you noticed in the investigations they have done. have they changed their techniques once law enforcement catches up to them. >> isis is a growing organization. and a learning organization.

at least be a learning organization. what we have seen over the arc of time, john, is -- isil operated, it would inspire attacks through the use of media. we saw a second stage where they enabled attacks. not just putting out films to inspire attackers. but actually making direct contact with individuals here on u.s. soil over social media. telling them what to attack. and when, and giving them advice. that's inspired. then enabled. you see inspired in san bernardino. you saw enabled in the case here. through good intelligence. with arrests. but what you are seeing in brussels and paris. the thing we have to be watchful. the third stage. directed. teams under the command and control of isil from syria to western europe. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
