Right now were going to go to one police plaza the mayor and the Police Commissioner giving an update on security in the city in the wake of the attacks on belgium. The times square subway station. Mayor de blasio there at the podium. Lets go ahead and listen in. Just the sheer level of human activity they see every day it takes a special talent to be able to work productively in such an intense atmosphere. We found the best men and women for the job. Every new yorker should know youre being protected every day by the finest police force force that has really developed extraordinary ability to prevent terrorism and to keep us safe. I want to emphasize because i know all new yorkers want to hear the latest and the latest is it remains no credible and specific threat against new york city. We are in constant communication with the fbi and Homeland Security and our state partners and the Port Authority police all the key elements of our Security Apparatus and there remains again no credible and specific threat against new york city. Within hours of the incident in belgium this morning, the nypd had fully deployed our key commands that were used in any emergency situation including our new Critical Response command which is a force specially trained, specially armed, and wholly devoted to antiterror activities in addition to our Emergency Services unit and our Strategic Response group. All of these units were deployed between the time of the attack in belgian and the beginning of the morning rush hour a testament to commissioner bratton and the leadership of the nypd that these actions were taken so quickly and so effectively. Its very important to remember, this city bore the brunt of the war on terror back in 2001 and since then, there have been 20 plots directed against new york or originating in new york and every, single one of them has been foiled by the nypd. Working closely with our federal and state partners. And we know that history has to be built upon in an ever more complex dynamic. There are new and more so in addition to creating the crit cat responsible command we are giving new technology to our officers all 36,000 officers have Technology Upgrades that will help them be a key part of our he was to prevent terror. And by the end of this year, well have 2,000 additional officers on patrol in this city helping to us continue to be the safest big city in america. Our hearts are with the people of belgium today. Our prayers are with the families that have been so horribly affected by these tragedies. We stand in solidarity with Prime Minister michelle with the mayor of brussels ivan mayer and the belgian people in their hour of need. What know what it feels we know what it feels like and our thoughts and our prayers are with them. And with people in so many other nations who have suffered from terrorism recently, turkey, ivory coast, of nations has to stand up to terror in all its forms. One of the best ways we do that is by reiterating our commitment to democracy, to values of free speech an openness, to showing the terrorists they cant intimidate us, they wont change our way of life, they wont make us different. We will stand up to them and we will stand by our values. So its so important for people to go about their daily routines knowing the nypd is protecting you, knowing that just going about your daily business is a renunciation of terrorism and the efforts of terrorists to intimidate us. Lets show our strength by refusing to give in. Im going to turn to commissioner bratton, but before i do, just want to remind all new yorkers, especially a moment like this, the phrase if you see means a lot and youre supposed to take it literally. If you see anything that you think is suspicious or dangerous you see a package unattended, if you see someone acting in a manner you regard as troubling, inform a Police Officer right away. Or call 911. Always better to be safe than sorry. That phrase can save lives. Remember, it was here in times square that a vendor saw something a few years ago and alerted the Police Officer and saved the lives of countless new yorkers. Its so important to speak up and you can help the nypd in the fight against terror. Well keep you updated. So we have been listening as mayor de blasio flanked there by commissioner bratton projecting an air of confidence and calm telling people to go about their business.

Welcome back to the im kristine johnson. Lets begin this halfhour with the latest that we know. Cbs news has learn the attackers at the airport carried their bombs in their baggage two devices exploded, panicked. Belgian leaders say that they are worried or they were worried that an attack was in the works but nothing of this magnitude. Three suspects have been arrested in germany after arriving from brussels. Experts warn its not a question of if but when a similar attack will happen here in new york. To learn more, we spoke with former fbi agent manny gomez and deconstructed this. Reporter we saw people clutching luggage and phones and continuing to carry a large bouquet of flowered through a darkened metro tunnel. In this chaotic situation, clearly these people had no clue. They had no leadership. Reporter former fbi agent manny gomez says first and foremost, in any emergency situation, locate an exit. These people should have been told leave your luggage, show us your hands, line up in going out this exit. Reporter despite this airport workerss warning, travelers kept their bags. We dont know who is friend from foe and any one of these other people could have been another bomber. So they are carrying their luggage. What do they have in the luggage and purse . What about the people on their phones . If this were, god forbid to go down in your area, are you going to be on the phone . Reporter you dont want to be on your phone. You want to be thinking clearly. What do i need do. Where is the Police Officer thats going to tell me what to do or go to that Police Officer and if theres no Law Enforcement around, figure out the emergency exit and save yourself and your loved ones. Lets go to the subway now. Um, train comes to a stop. People are on the train. Do you jump out . Get on the tracks . We have to keep in mind theres 600plus volts of dc current running under the train. You get electrocuted. Furthermore, those trains are numerous feet up. If you just jump off a train in the milliondollar of a tunnel you could easily fracture a limb and get hurt. Reporter gomez says in the end it all comes down to intelligence and action beating reaction. The nypd and the fbi have been very successful at identifying potential attackers putting undercovers into that environment and going true the investigation up to and almost including a potential attack. Gomez says ultimately there was no Law Enforcement or antiterrorism coordination in brussels today and Officials Say this simply would not happen here. Just to be clear. Now to campaign 2016 pain, the candidates are speaking out on the brussels attacks. And republican Donald Trumps comments drew criticism. Cbs 2s dick brennan is here now with more on that.

You look at them and from any standpoint, they could be isis, they could be isis related. And you know, we just dont learn. We dont learn. Reporter but Hillary Clinton says trumps ideas send the wrong signal. To, you know, do anything that implies we are at war with an entire religion, with, um, you know, 1 point or 4 billion people is not only wrong, it is dangerous. Reporter in washington today ted cruz said the president hasnt been tough enough on isis. It is long pastime that we had a president who will acknowledge this evil and utilize the full force and fury of the United States to defeat radical islamic terrorism to defeat isis. The president should return from cuba right away. Im a little surprised that the president is going to a baseball game when i believe he should had i been president i would have cut short my president. Reporter at the game the president said lets go on with our lives. What they cant do is scare and and and make people afraid and disrupt our daily lives and divide us. And as long as we dont allow that to happen, were going to be okay. Reporter Bernie Sanders says the u. S. Has to step up even more in the war on terror. We are making progress in iraq. Isis is losing 20 of the territory it held last year but clearly we have to do more. Reporter donald trump also said if it was up to him water boarding would be fine on suspects. If they could expand the laws he would do a lot more than water boarding. Thank you.
