All cbs cares one day before the paris attacks, isis struck in lebanon, which is bursting with Syrian Refugees. Twin suicide bombings in beirut killed 43 and wounded more than 200. The victims were mostly from the shiite branch of islam. Isis is the sunni branch. Holly williams is following this from turkey. Holly, how significant was that attack in lebanon . Reporter scott, it was very significant. Lebanon has been a wartorn country, but this was the worst terror attack in the capital beirut in many years, and it comes at a time when lebanon is especially fragile and the civil war raging just across the border in syria has played into those tensions, destabilizin on top of that, lebanon, which has a population of around four million people, has had an influx of over a million Syrian Refugees since the civil war began. Paris has demanded the worlds attention, but its been at the expense of coverage like the story in lebanon. Reporter well, scott, thats true. And theres been a lot of criticism on social media coming from inside lebanon and other middle Eastern Countries asking why there wasnt more coverage of the attack in beirut. And some people have saiaithat it was racist, that what the western media was effectively saying is that european lives matter more than arab lives. And, scott, there is one very important point which is sometimes forgottetebut which we have made before and its this isis has killed many more muslims than it has members of any other religious group, including christians. Holly williams in turkey for us tonight. Holly, thank you. Isis has already claimed responsibility for blowing up the russian jetliner over egypt. Well, today, the russians confirmed it was a bomb with a force equivalele to about two pounds of t. N. T. That brought the plane down. 224 were killed, mostly vacationing families. In retaliation today, russia fired Cruise Missiles from ships in the mediterranean and dropped bombs from planes on isis targets in syria. Major American Cities have been tightening security, and here is our Homeland Security correspondent jeff pegues. Reporter around pennsylvania avenue in washington, its not just the white house that is a potential terrorist target. Its also the restaurants,s, coffee shops, and public squares. The area has tight security, but even at midday, we didnt see any police presence. Former assistant f. B. I. Director ron hosko. There are simply not enough off duty, hired security to cover every potential Gathering Spot where americans enjoy their liberty. Reporter in los s geles, Deputy Police chief Michael Downing says since the paris attacks, the l. A. P. D. Has increased patrols and is working with the community to step up awareness around soft targetet there are 45,000 private security guards in the Los Angeles Area alone. Theres 10,000 l. A. P. D. En you combine that with Community Members that are interested as well, we have some good leverage. Reporter but Law Enforcement Officials Say the best way to stop a Suicide Attack is having the right intelligence, and once an attack is under way, cutting down on the Response Time is key. That involves active Shooter Training developed after the columbinschool massacre. Move in and immediately neutralize the threat. But hosko says even a huge show is that going to stop a determined terrorist who sees only one thing jihad and martyrdom and mass carnage . I dont know that its been known to stop that. Reporter it is not just los angeles thats relying on private security guards. Scott, we also spoke with philadelphias Police Commissioner who says they are as well. Jeff pegues reporting. Jeff, thank you. Today, the Republican Leaders of the house and senate called on the president to stop accepting Syrian Refugees. We have more on that from our Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes. It strikes me that we need to pause or a moratorium. Reporter its no longer just the republican rank and d le. Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell and House Speaker paul ryan both called for a halt today to the Refugee Program. This is a moment where its better to o safe than to be sorry. Reporter but the from its plan to let in 10,000 syrians over the next year. White house officials insisted today oneonone interviews are conducted with each potential refugee, something that didnt happen when the refugees arrived in europe earlier this year. Officials add that just 2 of the 2,300 syrians let in so far are single males of combat age. Frankly, there are probably greater risks with passport holding europeans. Reporter dam schiff is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. Whats wrong with taking a brief pause to make sure that the Refugee Program is as safe as possible . A refugee who is trying to come and find solace here in the United States now, its still going to be a year and a half before they get through the process. So adding further delay to that i dont think makes sense. Reporter but 27 of the nations governors now say theyltry to deny refugeeses resettlement assistance. Robert bentley is alabamas governor. Were not going to allow them into the state of alabama. Reporter white house officials are holding a conference calalwith governors tonight while the f. B. I. Director briefs members of congress here on capitol hill. It is a full court press from an administration, scott, that has been criticized abroad for not taking in more refugees.

Isis has captured much of syria and iraq already, and its using terrorism to expand its reach in those countries. Charlie dagata went along as kurdish troops hunted for isis sleeper cells in northern iraq. Reporter on the outskirts of kirkuk, the antiterror squad hoped to find four isis suspects. Theyve been under surveillance for a while. They are considered dangerous, and they dont know what to expect once they get there. The men spread out and surrounded the house. Gate, weapons drawn. But its not until the next house that they nabbed the first suspect, but he was alone. And the only information he would give them wahis name. General sadar qadir told us the men are suspected of being among the gunmen who massacred as much as 1,700 army recruits when isis overran a military be in tikrit last year. Now theyre belilied to be part of an isis sleeper cell plotting to attack civilian areas. The next location was a warehouse. Men were orderedo face the wall and squat on the ground. Back at the base, the general told us the tragic events in paris just showed that isis is a global enemy. Its very sad, he said. Bb there have been days where seven car bombs went off in kirkuk, and hundreds were killed, just like france. And although they captured two isis suspects overnight, there are now two more on the run. These squads are out there day and night, scott, and the general told us because it is the aim of the terrorists to killllivilians, they pose e greater threat than the isis militants his forces face on the battlefield.

And thats the overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you, the news continues. Little bit later for the morning news and, of course, cbs this morning. Pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. The International Manhunt for those behind the paris terror attacks is now focused on two fugitives. French investigators say both were directly involved with the attacks that left at least 129 people dead, and another 350 wounded across paris. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility, and tonight, the group is f fling the wrath. French warplanes again bombed isis targets in and around their selfproclaimed capital of raqqah and moscow is stepping up attacks as well after concluding the russian jetliner that crashed in egypt was brought down by a bomb. All 224 people on board died and isis has claimed responsibility. Vladamir putin is offering a 50 million reward for those who actually planted the device. Mark phillips has more. Reporter Russian Security services has said they now have the evidence to confirm what was always the prime suspicion, that the russian jet crash in the sinai was caused by a bomb. The fact that the wreckage from the plane was spread over such a large area had always indicated the plane broken up at altitude. The question was whether that was due to explosion or structural failure, a much less likely cause. Now, the head of the main Russian Security agency, the fsb, has told vladamir putin that tests on the wreckaka proved that a homemade explosive device, as he described it, blew the plane up. The continuing suspicion is that the bomb was placed on board at sharm el sheikh. A lapse in security, the egyptians resisted admitting to. Reports that two airport workers have been arrested havent been confirmed. Deaths of those on board has long been claimed by the Islamic State, saying it was retaliating for the russian Bombing Campaign against them. Vladamir putin has vowed to find them and to punish them. The russian navy has warships in Eastern Mediterranean conducting Cruise Missile strikes in syria. Vladamir putin ordered his commanders to cooperate with the French Military in their assaults. In paris, scott pelley sat down with secretary of state john kerry to ask him about this new alliance. The secretary outlined for us today a dramatic, and if it works, a historic grand alliance alliance. He said he can imagine in the next few weeks the United States, russia, and france cooperating militarily against isis, or as he prefers to call it, daesh, in syria. Forces fighting together, working together against this terrible enemymys a remarkable idea. But that is exactly what theyre trying to do. You know, it seems to me that the americans cant say theyre supporting the russians and the russians cant say theyre supporting the americans. But both can say theyre supporting france. In two weeks time, isis brought down the russian jetliner, attacked their enemies in lebanon and now attacked paris. It doesnt feel like its working. W wl, the strategy is to contain isis within iraq and syria, and diminish their hold and destroy their headquarters and them fundamentally. Because thats where all of this has emanated from. Slowly but surely, that is working. But yes, they have foreign fighters who have left there and gone to other places. That rains a challenge, and weve known all alononthat challenge is there. Daeshs center, its core, which is what we did with al qaeda, is working. And thats daesh sort of filled their void. We did that with an enormous land invasion of afghanistan. You know better than anyone that never in history has an air campaign accomplished the goals that you just set out in this interview. Correct, and thats no pretense here. President obama has never suggested. How do you root them out of syria . Which is exactly what is beginning to happen now, as the syrian arabs, the kurds and others move and earn back their capacity to be able to fight. One of theheessons of iraq is, that it doesnt have to be american soldiers who are on the ground in order to be able to fight the fight, that they can be enablers and help, but you have to have the people that live there invested in that fight. President obamas strategy is to continue to empower them, which is what were doing. They are currently full square in the fight to liberate ramadi. And its a t tgh fight. Theyve lost over 200 people and 1200 wounded, but theyre fighting. Theyre doing it. And thats exactly what the strategy is. It may take a little longer. Its tougher. Who knows . But if we dont empower them to have the control of their communities, then daesh will move right back in when we leave. And you wind up in this cycle. Thats not where we want to go and i think the president is on the right track to be able to take out daesh in a methodical, systematic way, which is now frankly going to increase through the help of obviously the russians, the french are now upping their involvement. And thats all to the better in terms of speeding up the process of taking them out. This is an ambition, his is a hope that the russians will come along. Secretary kerry seemed to think it would just be in the next few weeks, if it was indeed possible at all. President hollande of franan is going to be meeting with president obama in washington next week and then going directlyo moscow to meet with president putin. The hunt for isis terror cells is not limited to france and belgium. Kurdish forces are also rooting them out in northern iraq. Charlie dagata was embedded with Kurdish Special forces and reports now from irbil. Reporter here they hunt down terror suspects every day, mostly at night. Last night we spent the night with a squad going after suspects from one of the worst isis atrocities this country has seen. We met the general at a secret location south of kircut. He told us they were after four isis suspects. A sleeper cell lying low among the locacapopulation, plotting terror attacks in iraq. Down a muddy road, they nab the he didnt put up any resistance. But in the back of the truck, its starting to sink in. The targets, men suspected of taking part in a massacre of as many as 1700 army recruits when isis overran a military base i i titiit last year. Lined up by the hundreds, shot dead in shallow graves. Who is this young man . The general said the men they were after are among those who pulled the trigger. The next location is a warehouse where they hoped to find three other suspects. They only found one. He too is blind folded and taken awayor interrogation. Two more men from the suspected terror cell are still at large. Now they know their cohorts are already beenaken in. The general told us because they hide in plain sight and then strike civilian areas, the suspects he and his men go after than isis militants his forces face on the front lines.

The Environmental Group osearch is wrapping up its firstever shark tagging expedition in the gulf of mexico. Cbs news has been following this group of fishermen and scientists for years. We were there when they tagged and released the first great white shark in north atlantic waters. Jeff gror was out with osearch on their latest trip. Reporter the gulf of mexico has received enormous attention, mostly for what went wrong. The deep water horizon spill to start. But five yeaea later, parts of the gulf are teeming with life, providinresearchers a chance to study how many sharks are there and where theyre going. Meet finley, a 10foot long tiger shark. The first gulf shark to be spot tagged on osearchs crab boat turned laboratory. Here it is, finley the tiger shark for you to enjoy following across the gulf of mexico. Reporter this group of scientiststsust wrapped an expedition off theheoast of texas. Chris fisher is their leader. Tiger sharks, sort of the white shark of the gulf . Yes. Reporter and a shark that gets very close to shore. Tiger sharks love to come in to beaches and estuaries. Reporter during their expedition, they tagged four sharks, two tigers and two hammerheads. Theyre posting all of their data to their websites, bringing global attention to a body of water with an often muddy reputation. A lot of people think of the gulf as a mess, largely because of the spill. What kind of shape is the gulf in . Oh, i think the gulf is in pretty good shape. If you talk to the people out there fishing, its rebounding, full of life. And he hopes full of sharks. Remove too many and second tier the ecosystem off balance. In the gulf, theyre optimistic. Thinning, one of the biggest threats to shark populations, is not as prerelent here. Over the past few decades, the influx of oil rigs has created just as many artificial reefs. We are 30 miles offshore. There are about 4,000 active oil rigs in the gulf of mexico. Above water, they are steel, stark, industrial. But underwater, an explosion of life. You have to keep in mind they have been here for decades. No one realized the great ecosystems that would be formed around them. Reporter greg is one of the scientists working with osearch in the gulf. Were going to be fishing oil and gas structures. Reporter youve been down diving at many of f ese reefs. Whwh you first saw one of these undersea worlds, what was your reaction . One, its just the sheer size is amazing. On the surface, its flat and looks like nothing. But when you dive down just a few feet and you see the size of a building under water, and then the next thing you see is just the abundance of marine life, particularly fish that are just everywhere. Reporter over time, man made structures like oil rigs become artificial reefs by attracting an entire food chain. Microscopic organisms, coral, schools of fish and the lions of the ocean, sharks. They also attract contrororsy. Usually when a rig is retired and a decision needs to be made. Should parts of it stay and be permanently reefed or go . This is a tricky issue. Everybody agrees that there are environmental benefits to it. But some say listen, were against reefing, regardless of where it is or when it is, because it just encourages the Oil Companies to drill more. True . Yeah. Well, yes and d. Many say its ocean dumping, youre just leaving the trash. Believe it or not, the oil and Gas Companies dont necessarily want to do this. The scrap value of the steel is worth way more to bring it in. A lot of concern in ththgeneral public is that its oil and gas and oil and gas doesnt always have the best reputation. Look, ocean first. Great grandchildren first. You want an abundananfuture for the gulf of mexico, it would be an absolute catastrophe to not reef every single one of those rigs you can. Reporter for now, big oils trash is fishers treasure. Finlnl and her friends will provide data scientists have never had. Where gulf sharks are mating, breeding, and traveling. What role artificial reefs play, and what threats are real versus imagined. Its kind of crazy to be pioneering this work in 2015. You would have thought it was done a long, long time ago, but its crucial. We should also be terrified of an ocean with no sharks. If that is the case, there eat. Lets get these dayquil liquid gels and go. But these liquid gels are new. Its the same difference. This one is max strength and fights mucus. Mucinex fast max. The only cold and flu liquid gel thats maxstrength and fights mucus. Lets end this. Im lucky to get through a shift without a disaster. My bargain detergent couldnt keep up. So i switched to tide pods. Theyre super concentrated so i get a better clean. 15 cleaning ingredients or 90 . Dont pay for water, pay for clean. Thats my tide. Weve been changing things up with ky love. Oh yeah. Its a pleasure gel that magnifies both our sensations. It gives us chills in places weve never gotten chills before. Yeah, it makes us feel like. There are hundreds of species on the endangered list. And one photographer has made it his lifes work to capture them all. Martha teichner reports for sunday morning. Reporter they haunt you. As intended. Youre supposed to regard the greatest and the tiniest. The lowliest. Equally. If we could get down and look these species in the eye, really get down low and look them in the eye and you see how lovely ty are and how much intelligence there is there. Theyre telling us something. I mean, theyre shouting it to me. Reporter for t t years now, our friend, National Geographic photographer joel sartori, has made it his lifes mission to be their messenger. And he hopes their protector. Their noah building a photographic ark. This is the ark room we call it. We have 5,002 species in here. All rolling past. At this rate, it would take two hours to see them all. Its supposed to overwhelm people with what life looks like on earth. Reporter and what might soon be extinct. The very last, thats the very last of its kind, of this tree frog. His name is toughy, because hes outlived projections. Hes like nine years old at least. When hes gone, thats it. They will be extxtct. Reporter his photo ark will be at the National Geographic museum in washington, d. C. Until april. This is the northern white rhino that i photographed at the zoo this summer in the czech republic. There were five at the time. This is a very old female, and she died one week to the day after we photographed her. Now there are four. This is the pygmy rabbit. That animal has gone extinct. She was very near the end of her life. Reporter it has . Yeah, yeah. You can see her from thor end of the exhibit. We wanted people to be able to see her, come into this room and have the experience of, well, this is what were talking about. This is the consequence if we ignore the world around us. This is the consequence of that. Scientists over the past 500, well, half a billion years. Weve seen five mass extinction shuns. You think of volcanos and astroids. Scientists describe the current loss of plants and animals as the sixth mass extinction. Reporter catherine workman is senior director of National Geographics protectctg wildlife initittive. Were losing animals at a rate a thousand times the rates of extinction in the past. We have hunting, climate change, habitataloss and the combination of all these changes is really hammering the planets biodiversity. Reporter joel didnt set out to create a photo ark. It began as an act of cathy, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and he needed to stay home in lincoln, nebraska. I just thought i need to shoot something. Cathys going to be sick for a long time, and on the days when she felt better through the chemo cycles, i just needed something to shoot. Reporter so this world traveler, who shot 35 stories for National Geographic thats what i came here for. Reporter including six covers, drove to the lincoln childrens zoo a mile frfr his house and asked if he could photograph the animals. They let me take a naked mole rat and put it on a white background and i did a couple of blue and black poison dart frogs, i think. That was 5400 species ago. Reporter hes not quite halfway through photographing all 12,000 animal species in captivity, endangered or not. He figures it will take him the rest of his life to finish. Hes taken pictures at more than 200 zoos in the United States alone. The howto part can be tricky. Here he goes. Were just standing here as living fences. Reporter wrangling flamingos. Not quite like getetng your ducks in a row. Doesnt this look nice . Perfect for chimps. Reporter on the other hand, success is not always guarananed. Not a bashful bird. And ththe can be hazards. Youve heard of angry birds . This is like a 6,000 camera. Doesnt he know that . This bird is the nastiest, most badass bird ive ever had to do. Got it, got it, nice. Reporter why zoo animals . Zoos often have the only populations of these animals. Reporter he accepts that people fall in love with fuzzy, cute animals. Like the fennic fox. These at thehet. Louis zoo. But he wants us to appreciate the importance of the uncuddly ones. The ones weve never heard of. This is often the only voice theyll ever have before they go away. This is their only chance to sing, in a way. Repepter his animals have been projected on the empire state building. And at the u. N. Vatican. This has gone extinct, and this. Repepter anywhere he cananas often as he can. Joel sartori pleads for their lives. This is the best time ever to be alive to save species, because theres so many species that need our help. Reporter he hopes his photographs will get people to help, and he likes to hook them young. Whagrade are you guys in . Fourth. We already know that tiger bones are sold as medicine. I do take considerate comfort in the fact that all is not lost, by any means. Crane, black footed ferret, the california condor, mexican wolf, down to two dozen. Stable. And that just speaks volumes to the fact that people do care, but we have to let them know these animals exist and theyre in trouble and what the need is. Reporter the ark is his eye, to look hard. When the engines failed on the plane i was flying, i knew what to do to save my passengers. But when my father sank into depression, i didnt know how to help him. When he ultimately shot himself, he left our family devastated. Dont let this happen to you. If you or a loved e is suicidal, call the nationanasuicide preventiti lifeline.

But the museums first exhibit was put on display a little early. Jan crawford reports. Reporter the building on the National Mall may not be ready for visitors, but it proved a fine canvas for the first exhibition at the National Museum of africanamerican history and culture. We felt that history couldnt wait. Its important this museum contribute today. Reporte this is the museum director. All of us, regardless of race, are shshed in profound ways by the africanamerican experience. Our goal is to make sure that we can tell a rich and complicated historyof america. Reporter the live event included a musical performance celebrate freedom, 150 years of the africanamerican experience reaching five stories high. Cumentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson produced the display with his wife, marsha smith. I think the message is inspiring, that africanamerican history is a a about history, but that its an inspiring history. Its a history that has ups and downs, but when you take it all together, you know, it tells an incredible story of the american people. Each of these boxes h h a story.

Tonight from paris, the manhunt widens. The searc is on for a second terrorist who got away. France launches more bombing raids against isis. Secretary kerry tells us the u. S. And rusa may join forces against the terror group. And how do you explain evil to the most innocent among us . A dads tender words of wisdom. This is the cbs overnight news. Ordered a third round of isis targets on syria tonight. Inspired, he says, by the faces that dont leave his mind. The faces of the 129 killed in the terror attacks, most of them under the age of 30. Youth, he said, in all its diversity. The violinist from algeria, studying music at the sorbonne. The french advertising executive who once attenend the university of north texas. The architect fr germany. The romanians who immigrated to paris to find a better life and found each other. Tonight, france celebrates who they were and weeps for what they might have been. The search for the terrorists widened today, and Elizabeth Palmer is following the investigation. Liz. Repororr scott, the police say that tonight theyre looking for a second man who got away. That would make him the ninth terrorist, and they say they spotted him inside a car on surveillance camera video very near the place where the clients of the restaurants and cafes were gunned down. To examine this car abandoned on then an officer broke in, searching for links to the terrorists. Police are scouring europe for evidence that might lead them to Salah Abdeslam, the attacker who got away. But in brussels, his brother mohammed appealed to him directly. My advice to him is to turn himself in to the police, he said, so justice can shed light on what happened. At this hotel in the paris suburbs, another piece of the puzzle fell into place. Its where Salah Abdeslam and his coconspirators are believed to have spent the two days before the a aacks. Police discovered it and dusted it for fingerprints on the weekend. When Salah Abdeslam reserved two rooms in this hotel, he did it with his own credit card and he used his own name, which suggests he wasnt the l lst bit concerned about leaving a trail for investigators. Knowing what they were about to do, he probably didnt think hed survive. And its unclear why he did. But incredibly, in the massacre, he called some friends to come and pick him up. They drove him nack to belgium, where he vanished. The police have also asked for help in identifying this man, one of the suicidedeombers at the football stadium who came to france on a false syrian passport with a fake name. The picture, though, is accurate, and so the police say somebodys got to know who he is. Elizabeth palmer, thank you, liz. In belgium, the hunt is focused on molenbeek, a suburb of brussels, there was a raid there tonight and allen pizzey is there. Reporter police say the operation tonight was not directly targeting anyone connected to the paris attacks. But its clear theyre intent on not letting anything slip through the e t. They closed this bararor drug offenses three weeks ago, and now one of the owners, Salah Abdeslam, is the subject of an International Arrest warrant for the paris attacks. His older brother was a suicide bomber there this woman, who only agreed to talk if her identity and voice were heavily disguised, knew them well. There is no way i would have thought they were terrorists, she said. Quite the opposite. They ran a cafafwhere drugs were taken. They defended women who were dressed provocatively. How could they go from that to launching a terrorist attack . The e burb of molenbeek with its mix o olanguages and cultures, is opaque to outsiders, a place where strangers and police are viewed with suspicion. It also has connections to many of the major terrorist attacks in europe. The gunmen in the Charlie Hebdo massacre are e lieved to have bought guns here. So is the man who attacked the belgium jewish museum. And a gunman who was stopped by three americans for murdering passengers on a highspeed train to paris lived here for a while. For the e lice, figuring out how and why molenbeek breeds extremists is as important as tracking them down and in the case of ones who committed the paris massacres, perhaps even harder. Scott . Allen pizzey, in belgium, thank you, allen. Tonight, the u. S. Is working to put together a military alliance with russia and france in the war on isis in its syrian homeland. Secretary of state john kerry told u uhe can foresee u. S. And Russian Forces fighting alongside one another. Kerry visited french president Francois Hollande today. Hollande will l et in washington with president obama next week, and then with russian president putin. After meeting hollande today, kerry sat down with us. He calls isis by its arabic acronym, daesh. He basic strategy of destroying daeshs center, its core, which is what we did with al qaeda, is working, and al qaqaa was diminished as an entity that had the ability to do what it did in 9 11 through the protracted effort in afghanistan and pakistan and elsewhere, in the arabian peninsula. And daesh sort of filled their void now we have to do it to daesh. We did that with an enormous land invasion of afghanistan. You know better than anyone that never in history has an air campaign accomplished the gogos that you just set out in this interview. Correct, and theres no pretense here. President obama has never suggested. How do you root them out of syria . Hich is exactly what is beginning to happen now as the syrian arabs, the kurds and others move and earn back their capacity to be able to fight. They are currently full square in the fight to liberate ramadi. Its a tough fight and theyve lost over 200 people and 1200 wounded, but theyre fighting and doing it. Thats exactly what the strategy is. It may take a little longer. Its tougher. Who knows . But if we dont empower them to have the control over their communities, then when you leave, daesh will move right and you wind up in this cycle. Thats not where we want to go, and i think the president s on the right track to be able to take outaesh in a methodical, systematic way, which is going to increase through the help of the russians, the french are now upping their involvement, and thats all to the better in terms of speeding up the process of taking them out. After paris, the question becomes do we have time to wait for that strategy to work, before we see this kind of thing in the United States . We are doing Everything Possible within the framework of Homeland Security, and what we worry about is that for terrorists, if youre willing to die you want to strap a suicide vest around yourself and you want to wawa into a crowd and blow yourself up you can choose almost anywhere to go do that. And everybody else who is in Law Enforcement trying to prevent it has to get every single thing thats a much tougher task. The cbs overnighnews wi [ vocalizing ] [ buzzing ] [ tree crashes ] [ wind howling ] one day before the paris attacks, isis struck in lebanon, which is burstinwith Syrian Refugees. Twin suicide bombings in beirut killed 43 and wounded more than 200. The victims were mostly from the shiite branch of islam. Isis is the sunni branch. Holly williams is following this from turkey. Holly, how significant was that attack in lebanon . Reporter scott, it was very significant. Lebanon has been a wartorn country, but this was the worst terror attack in the capital beirut in many years, and it comes at a time when lebanon is especially fragile and the civil war raging just acacss the border in syria has played into those tensions, destabilizing lebanon. Has a population of around four million people, has had an influx of over a million syrian fugees since the civiv war began. Paris has demanded the worlds attention, but its been at the expense of coverage like the story in lebanon. Reporter well, scott, thats true. And theres been a lot of criticism on social media coming from inside lebanon and other middle Eastern Countries aking why there wasnt more coverage of the attack in beirut. And some people have said that it was racist, that what the western media was effectively saying is that european lives matter more than arab lives. And, scott, there is one very important point which is sometimes forgotten but which we have made before and its this isis has killed many more muslims than it has members of any other religious group, including christiansns Holly Williams in turkey for us tonight. Isis has already claimed responsibility for blowing up the russian jetliner over egypt. Well, today, the russians confirmed it was a bomb with a force equivalent to about two pounds of t. N. T. That brought the plane down. 224 were killed, mostly vacationing families. In retaliation today, russia fired Cruise Missiles from ships in the mediterranean and dropped bombs from planes on isis targets in syria. Major American Cities have been tightening security, and here is our Homeland Security correspondent jeff pegues. Reporter around pennsylvania avenue in washington, its not just the white house that is a potential terrorist target. Its also the restaurants, coffee shops, and public squares. The area has tight security, but even at midday, we didnt see any police presence. Former assistant f. B. I. Director ron hosko. There are simply not enough police, Law Enforcement on duty, off duty, hired security to cover every potential Gathering Spot where americans enjoy their liberty. Reporter in los angeles, Deputy Police chief Michael Downing says since the paris attacks, the l. A. P. D. Has increased patrols and is working with the community to step up awareness around soft targets. There are 45,000 private security guards in the Los Angeles Area alone. Theres 10,000 l. A. P. D. When you combine that with Community Members that are interested as well, we have some good leverage. Reporter but Law Enforcement Officials Say the best way to stop a Suicide Attack is having the right intelligence, and once an attack is under way, cutting down on the Response Time is key. That involves active Shooter Training developed after the Columbine School massacre. Move in and immediately neutralize the threat. But hosko says even a huge show of force may not be enough. Is that going to stop a determined terrorist who sees only one thing jihad and martyrdom and mass carnage . I dont know that its been known to stop that. Reporter it is not just los angeles thats relying on private security guards. Scott, we also spoke with philadelphias Police Commissioner who says they are as well. Jeff pegues reporting. Jeff, thank you. Today, the Republican Leaders of the house and senate called on the president to stop accepting Syrian Refugees. We have more on thatatrom our Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes. It strikes me that we need to pause or a moratorium. Reporter its no lonr just the republican rank and file. Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell and House Speaker paul ryan both called for a halt today to the Refugee Program. This is a moment where its better to be safe than to be sorry. Reporter but the administration isnt w wering syrians over the next year. White house officials insisted today oneonone interviews are conducted with each potential refugee, something that didnt happen when the refugees arrived in europe earlier this year. Officials add that just 2 of the 2,300 syrians let in so far are single males of combat age. Frankly, there are probably greater risks with passport holding europeans. Reporter adam schiff is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. Whatssrong with taking a b bef pause to make sure that the Refugee Program is as safe as possible . A refugee who is trying to come and find solace here in the United States now, its stilil going to be a year and a half before they get through the process. So adding further delay to that i dont think makes sense. Reporter but 27 of the nations governors now say theyll try to deny refugees resettlement assistance. Robert bentley is alabamas governor. Were not going to allow them into the state of alabama. Reporter white house officials are holding a Conference Call with governorsrs tonight while the f. B. I. Director briefs members of congress here on capitol hill. It is a full court press from an administration, scott, that has been criticized abroad for not taking in more refugees. Nancy cordes on the story in washington. Nancy, thank you. Theres also breaking news tonight in the president ial race. Republican bobby jindal, the governor of louisiana, is dropping out. Jindal never got out of Single Digits in the polls. Still ahead, the hunt for isis its judgment day.

Itit a pleasure gel that magnifies both our sensations. It gives us chills in places weve never gotten chills before. Yeah, it makes us feel like. Isis has captured much of syria and iraq already, and its using terrorism to expand its reach in thoho countries. Charlie dagata went along as kurdish troops hunted for isis sleeper cells in northern iraq. Reporter on the outskirts of kirkuk, the antiterror squad hoped to find four isis suspects. Theyve been under surveillance for a while. They are considered dangerous, and they dont know what to expect once theyeyet there. The men spread out and surrounded the house. Gate, weapons drawn. But its not until the n nt house that they nabbed the first suspect, but he was alone. And the only information he would give them was s s name. General sadar qadir told us the men are suspected of being among the gunmen who massacred as much as 1,700 army recruits when isis overran a military base in tikrit last year. Now theyre believed to be part of an isis sleeper cell plotting to attack civilian areas. The next location was a warehouse. Men were ordered to face the wall and squat on the ground. Back at the base, the general told us the tragic events in paris just showed that isis is a global enemy. Its very sad, he said. But there have been days where seven car bombs went off in kirkuk, and hundreds were killed, just like france. And although they captured two isis suspects overnight, there are now two more on the run. These squads are out there day and night, scott, and the general told us because it is the aim of the terrorists to kill civilians, they pose a greater threat than the isis militants his forces face on the battlefield. Charlie dagata on the battlefield in northern iraq. Will be right back. Back home, storms are heading east tonight through arkansas, louisiana, and mississippi. The system spun off tornadoes yesterday, four in the texas panhandle. As many as ten in kansas where a number of homes were destroyed. And a fierce snowstorm dumped more than a foot of snow in kansas and colorado. There was a bomb scare at a soccer stadium in germany today. Turned out to be a false alarm, but the match between germany and the netherlands was nceled. Soccer was played in london as two rivals stood together. Heres mark phillips. Viva la france reporter when is a game more than a game . When the visiting teams anthem is the theme song ofofhe night.

When two members of the french team wererdirectly affected by the attacks, lassana diaras cousin was killed. Antoine griezmanns sister escaped from the Bataclan Hall massacre. When the heaviest security anybody can remember is set up around the stadium. It was the french who said they wanted this game to go ahead. The english not only agreed. They turned it into an exercise in solidarary. We here to support england, were here to support france. Were here to say yes to peace and no to terror. Reporter and when it was time for the anthems, instead of a competition between rivals, there was a singalong, the words to the french marseillaise put up on the scoreboard so the english fans`could join in. And those two centuryold french revolutionary lyrics about resistance to invasion and blood flowing seemed as relevant now as when they were written. The anthems message of historic defiance resonates today and not just in france. The challenge, though, is how to turn that defiance into Effective International action. But what mattered here was the sentiment. I cried, like, for two days, and i was dispirited. And now im here to support my country. And know that every country are behind us in this situation.

And thats the overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you, the news for others, check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and,f course, cbs this morning. From outside the cathedral of pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. The International Manhunt for those behind the paris terror attacks is now focused on two fugitives. French investigators say both were directly involved with the attacks that left at least 129 people dead, and another 350 wounded across paris. The islamic tate has claimed responsibility, and tonight, t group is feeling the wrath. French warplanes again bombed isis targets in and around their selfproclaimed capital of raqqah and moscow is stepping up attacks as well after concluding the j j that crashed in egypt was brought down by a bomb and isis has claimed responsibility. Vladamir putin is offering a 50 million reward for those who actually planted thehe device. Mark phillips has more. Reporter Russian Security services has said they now have the evidence to confirm what was always the prime suspicion, that the russian jet in the sinai was caused by a bomb. The fact that the wreckage from the plane was spread over such a large area had always indicated the plane broken up at altitude. The question was whether that was due to explosion or structural failure. Now, the head of the main Russian Security agency, the fsd, has told vladamir putin that tests on the wreckage prpred that a homemade explosive device, as he described it, blew the plane up. The continuing suspicion is that the bomb was placed on board at sharm el sheikh. A lapse in security, the egyptianss resisted admitting to. Have been arrested havent been confirmed. But the responsibility of the deaths of those on board has longngeen claimed by the i iamic state, saying it was retaliating for the russian Bombing Campaign against them. Vladamir putin has vowed to find them and to punish them. The russian navy has warships in the even mediterranean conducting Cruise Missile attacks. Vladamir putin ordered his commanders to cooperate with the French Military in their assaults. In paris, scott pelley sat down with secretary of state john kerry to ask him about this new alliance. The secretary outlined for us today a dramatic, and if it works,s, historic alliance. He said he can imagine in the next few weeks the United States, russia, and france cooperatig militarily against isis, or as he prefers to call it, daesh, in syria. The idea of u. S. And Russian Forces fighting together, working together against this terrible enemy is a remarkable idea. But that is exactly what theyre trying to do. You know, it seems to me that the americans cant say theyre supporting the russians and the russians cant say theyre supporting the americans. But both can say theyre supporting france. In two weeks time, isis brought down the russian jetliner, attacked their enenees in lebanon and now attacked paris. It doesnt feel like its working. Well, the strategy is to contain isis within iraq and syria, and diminish their hold and destroy their headquarters and them fundamentally. Because thats where all of this has emanated from. Slowly but surely, that is working. But yes, they have foreign gone to other places. That remains a challenge, and weve known all along that the basic strategy of destroying daeshs center, its re, which is what we did with al qaeda, is working. And thats daesh sort of filled their void. We did that with an enormous land invasion of afgfgnistan. You know better than anyone that never in history has an air campaign accomplished the goals that you just set out in this interview. Correct, and thats no pretense here. President obama has never suggested. Syria . Which is exact think what is beginning to happenow, ashe syrian arabs,he kurds and othersrsove and earn back theirir capacity to be able to fight. One of the lessons of iraq is, that it doesnt have to be american soldiers who are on the ground in order to be able to fight the fight, that they can be enablers and help, but you have to have the people that live there vested in that fight. President obamas strategy is to continue to empower them, which is what were doing. They are currently full s sare in the fight to liberate ramadi. And its a tough fight. Theyve lost over 200 people and 1200 wounded, but theyre fighting. Theyre doing it. Strategy is. Its tougher. Who knows . But if we dont empower them to have the control of their communities, then daesh will move right back in. And you wind up in this cycle. Thats not where we want to go and i think the president is on the right track to be able to take out daesh in a methodical, systematic way, which is now frankly going to increase through the help of obviously the russians, the french are now upping their involvement. And thats all to the better in terms of speeding up the process of taking them out. This is an ambition, this is a hope that the russians will come along. Secretary kerry seemed to think it would just be in the next few weeks, if it was indeed possible at all. President hollande of france is going to be meeting with president obama in washington next week and then going directly to moscow to meet with president putin. Thehe hunt for isis terror cells is not limited to france and belgium. Kurdish forces are also rooting them out in northern iraq. Charlie dagata was embedded with Kurdish Special forces and reportsow from irbil. Reporter here they hunt down terror suspects every day, mostly at night. Last night we spent the night with a squad going after suspects from one of the worst isis acrosstrocityies this country has seen. We met the general at a secret location south of kircut. He told us they were after fr isis suspects. A sleeper cell lying low among the local population, plotting down a muddy road, the nab the first one. He didnt put up any resistance. But in the back of the truck, its starting to sink in. The targets, men suspected of taking part in a massacre of as many as 1700 army recruits when isis overran a military base in tikrit last year. Lined up by the hundreds, shot dead in shallow graves. Who is this young man . The general said the men they were after are among those who pulled the trigger. The next location is a warehouse where they hoped to find three other suspects. They only found one. He too is blind folded and taken away for interrogation. Two more men f fm the suspected terror cell are still at large. Now they know their cohorts are already been taken in. The general told us because they den plala sight and then suspects he and his men go after every week pose moref a so how ya doing . Enough pressure in here for ya . Ugh. My sinuses are killing me. Yeah. Just wait til we hit ten thousand feet. Im gonna take Mucinex Sinusmax. Too late, were about to take off. These dissolve fast. T. Theyre new liquid gels. And youre coming with me.

Cbs news has been following this group of fishermen and soin scientists were there. We were there when they tagged and reloosed the first great reporter the gulf of mexico has received enormous attention, mostly for what went wrong. The deep water horizon to start. But five years later, parts of the gulf are teeming with life, providing research evers a chance to study how many sharks are there and where theyre going. Meet finley, a 10foot long tiger shark. The first gulf shark to be spot tagged. Here it is, finley the tiger shark for youo enjoy following across the gulf of mexico. Reporter thihi group of scientists just wrapped an expedition off the coast of texas. Tiger sharks, sort of the white shark of the gulf . Yes. Tiger sharks love to come ino beaches and estuaries. Reporter during their expedition, they tagged four sharks, two tigers and two hammerheads. Theyre posting all ofheir data to their websites, bringing global attention to a body of watt with an often muddy reputation. A lot of people think of the gulf as a mess, largely because of the spill. At kind of shape is the gulf in . I think the gulf is in pretty good shape. Its rebounding and full of life. Reporter and he hopes full of sharks. Predators would roam, throwing the ecosystem off balancnc fit over the past few decades, the influx of oil rigs has created just as many artificial reefs. We are 30 miles offshore. There are about 4,000 active oil rigs in the gulf of mexico. Above water, they are steel, stark, industrial. But underwater, an explosion of life. You have to keep in mind they have been here for decades. No one realized the great ecosystems that would be formed around them. Reporter greg is one of the scientists working with osearch in the gulf. When you first saw one of these one, its just the sheer size is amazing. On the surface, its flat and looks like nothing. But when you dive down just a few feet and you see the size of a building under water, and then the next thing you see is just the abundance of marine life, particularly fish that are just everywhere. Reporter over time, man made structures like oil rigs become artificial reefs by attracting an entire food chain. Microscopic organisms, cora schoolof fish and the lions of the ocean, sharks. They also attract controversy. Usually when a rig is retired and a decision needs to be made. Should parts of it stay or go . This is a tricky issue. Everybody agrees that there are environmental benefits to it. But some say listen, were against reefing, regardless of where it is or when it is, because it just encourages the Oil Companies to drill more. True . Yeah. Well, yes and no. Believe it or not, the oil and Gas Companies dont necessarily want to do this. The scrap value of the steel is worth way more to bring it in. A lot of concern in the general public is that its oil and gas and oil and gas doesnt always have the best reputation. Look, ocean first. Greaea grandchildren first. If you want an abundant future for the gulf of mexico, it would be an absolute catastrophe to not reef every single one of those rigs you can. Reporter for nono big oils trash is fishers treasure.

If we could get there and look these species in the eye, really get down low and d ok them in the eye and you see how lovely they are and how much intelligence there is there.

Yoyocan see her from thor end of the exhibit. See her, come into this room and have the experience of, well, this is what were talking about. This is the consequence if w w ignore the world around us. This is the consequence of that. Scientists over the past 500, well, half a million years, weve seeeefive mass extinctioio shuns. You think of volcanos and astroids. Scientists describe the current loss of plants and animals as the sixth extinction. Reporter catherine workman is senior director of National Geographics protecting wildlife initiative. Were losing animates at 1,000 times the rate. We have hunting, climate change, habitat loss and the combination of all these changes is really hammering the planets biodiversity. Reporter joel didnt set out to create a photo ark. Desperation, when his wife, cathy, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and he needed to stay home in lincoln, nebraska. I just thought i need to shoot something. Cathys going to be sick for a long time, and on t days when she felt better through the chemo cles, i justeeded something to shoot. Reporter so this world traveler, who shot 35 stories for National Geographic thats what i came here for. Reporter including six vers, drove to the lincoln childrens zoo a mile from his house and asked if he could photograph the animals. They let me take a naked mole rat and put itt on a white background and i did a couple of blue and black poison dart frogs, i think. That was 5400 species ago. Reporter hes not quite all 12,000 animal species in captivity, endangered or not. T. He figures it will take him the rest of his life to finish. Hes taken pictures at more than 200 zoos in the United States alone. The howto part can be tricky. There he goes. Were just standing here as living fences. Reporter wrangling flamingos. Not quite like getting your ducks in a row. Doesnt this look nicece perfect for chimps. Reporter on the other hand, success is not always guarantied. Not a bashful bird. Reporter ouch and there can be hazards. This is like a 6,000 camera. Doesnt he know that . This bird is the nastiest, mosos badass bird ive ever had to do. Got it, got it, nice. Reporter why zoo animals . Zoos have the only populations of these animals. Reporter he accepts that people fall in love with fuzzy, cute animals. Like the fennic fox. These at the st. Louis zoo. But he wantstous appreciate the importance of the uncuddly ones. The ones weve never heard of. This is often the only voice theyll ever have before they go away. This is their only chance to sing, in a way. Reporter his animals have been projected on the empire state building. And at the u. N. Soon, theyll be shown on the vatican. This has gone extinct, and this. Reporter anywhere e can, as often as he can. Joel sartori pleads for their lives. This is the best time ever to be alive to save species, because theres so many s scies that need our help. Reporter he hopes his photographs will get people to help, and he likes to hook them young. What grade are you guys in . Fourth. Reporter i do t te comfort in the fact that all is not lost, by any means. In this country, the whooping crane, black footed ferret, the california condodo mexican wolf, all of those animals all got down to two dozen. Theyre all stable now. And that just speaks volumes to the fact that people do care, but we have to let them know these animals exist and theyre eye, to look hard. The National Museum of africanamerican history and culture doesnt officially open until next year. But the museums first exhibit was put on display a little early. Jan crawford reports. Reporter the building on the National Mall may not be ready for visitors, but it proved a fine canvas for the first exhibition at the National Museum of africanamerican history and culture.

Our goal is to make sure that we can tell a rich d complicated history of americaca reporter the live event and film to commemorate and celebrate freedom, 150 years of the africanamerican experience reaching five stories high. Documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson produced the display with his wife, marsha smsmh. I think the smith is inspiring, that africanamerican history is all about history, but that its an inspiring history. Its a history that has ups and downs, but when you tak it all together, you know, it tells an incredible story of the american people. Each of these boxes has a story. Reporter the museum had already collected more than 30,000 pieces when we visited curators in a warehouse last year. There are gold medals from olympian carl lewis, the jacket of a tuskegee airman, and even a plan the group used for training ahead of world war ii. Triumphs will be celebrated here but not every collection has a focus on the past, because history is happening now. Please keep your hands up.
