Forced two air france planes from the u. S. To paris to be diverted overnight, leaving america very much on edge today, wednesday, november 18, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on what is already a very busy wednesday morning. Weve got breaking news as were coming on the air at this hour. A largescale Police Operation aimed at the mastermind of the terror attacks on paris, abdelhamid abaaoud. Officials initially believed he was in syria, but clearly there is some suspicion he could in fact be very close by, possibly on the outskirts of paris. Want to give you an idea of where this is all happening. Its in saintdenis, a suburb north of paris in some apartments that are actually about a mile from the soccer stadium that was attacked on friday. At least two people have been killed. The siege lasting about seven hours. Police say at least five officers have been wounded as well. Lets get right to nbcs chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel in that neighborhood this morning. Richard, good morning, what are you seeing and hearing . Good morning, savannah. That raid took place on the street behind me. Officials say they have arrested seven people. They cannot confirm at this stage if the alleged mastermind of the attack was one of the people, but they certainly knew that they were going to find gunfire, find resistance when they came here because when we arrived we saw the police ready for battle. [ gunfire ] reporter amateur video captured some of the heavy automatic gunfire that erupted when elite French Forces raided an apartment outside paris this morning. The main target, Officials Say, was the alleged mastermind of the paris attacks. But as the raid began, a woman in the apartment blew up a we arrived a short while later. Police here still seem very tense. They have sealed off some of the area. They are shining search lights on to the buildings, down the alleys. Theres a helicopter above. This raid does not seem over yet. Police ordered residents to stay inside. Anyone who approached was told in no Uncertain Terms to back away. Neighbors, many of them muslim immigrants, were evacuated by police and searched. We stopped abdul al jazeeri rushing down the street. He said in arabic he witnessed the whole thing. I saw the raid. 20 cars pass by here and then five minutes later the shooting started, he said. You heard the gunfire, i asked. I saw it with my eyes, he said. Meanwhile, the police focused on one apartment on the third floor of this building. That, neighbors say, is the apartment where the raids target were holed up. The main target, Officials Say, was abdelhamid abaaoud, the man they describe as mastermind behind the paris attacks, a Belgian National and had gone to syria to join isis and period in a propaganda video. It seems he managed to sneak pack into the country. As day was breaking, the raids seemed to be winding down. But then several explosions echoed through the streets. Its common in situations like this for police to use grenades or small charges in order to set off boobytraps that the suspects police here remain on edge, occasionally moving aggressively to search the neighborhood. They are taking no chances. And the Police Cordon remains in place around the building where the raid took place. They have set up tarps so that forensic investigators can collect evidence. However, Officials Say that at least this raid for now is over. Matt, savannah, back for you. Richard engel, thank you very much e. Were joined by former pennsylvania governor tom ridge, the first secretary of security under president george w. Bush and shawn henry, former assistant director of the fbi. Savannah and i were just talking, if this raid was target thing the alleged mastermind of the paris attacks. Is it surprising that hes still in country or wouldnt it be that he would get out of the country . He was Forward Deployed on friday, if it appears and if there were other attacks that were imminent and raids that we saw here this morning seemed to be a result of that, then he may have been there to direct those as rell, as a general, forward on the battle line as opposed to more strategically back from syria or elsewhere. Is it also possible, shawn, that he couldnt get out of the country, that once these attacks took place, it was much, much tougher as a proposition to get out of france . Yeah. You know, paris, they should down people getting off the city. There were a lot of Police Actions and activities in the course of the days after friday, so he certainly could have been deterred from getting out, but also i know police are looking at the implications of additional attacks, and they have been exploiting media, digital evidence, cell phones, doing interviews, trying to determine if there are other attacks imminent. This is a result of that. And just quickly before we get to secretary ridge, good news and bad news if youre living in paris. The good news is Law Enforcement officials are reacting quickly and rounding up more suspects. The bad news is in neighborhoods, in your very midst, there are still heavily armed terrorists, some with suicide vests. Yeah. Youre right, matt. You know, weve been talking all week about the value of tactical intelligence and the need tories deputy these types of attacks in advance, and police have been working, again, around the clock, not only in paris but in belgium and elsewhere. They are hiding in plain sight. Oftentimes in neighborhoods and communities. The citizens shouldnt be afraid, but they need to be aware and need to be vigilant and recognize that they are oftentimes they are the eyes and ears to help identify for police anomalous behavior that might be indicative of other attacks. Matt . Shawn, thank you very much. A good segue to former Homeland Security secretary tom ridge. Secretary ridge, good to have you here this morning. We dont want to alarm people because perhaps europes situation is a great deal worse than ours is. However, do you see things in paris that could be replicated here . What is waking you up in the middle the night these days . I think the tone of your question is precisely the right one. Were allowed to be anxious because america responded to those attacks, just like we responded to 9 11. There was horror. There was sorrow, and i think our anger went to rage and we want to hold folks accountable. Some advice that shawn said. Weve got eyes and ears in the neighborhoods. Lets just simply be aware but lets also understand weve got a great intelligence capability and enormous Law Enforcement capability. One of the challenges we have here for the fbi to work more closely and collaboratively with the hundreds of thousands of men and women, Police Forces in the state and local level. They dont have the manpower in washington, d. C. To do this, so lets empower them with information. We never want terrorists to be successful in carrying out an attack, but when they do carry something out, it opens a window for us. We learn things. Rate. About their tactics and their structure and their organization. From where youre sitting what are we learning about isis based on what were seeing in paris . Well, we know they are not a jv team on contained. They are an am bawith rather significant reach. Thats one of the reasons i would use for the state and locals, arm them with information. I wonder who would have happened had ed davis in boston been aware of the tsarnaev brothers in his presence. He found out about it after the bombs went off. I think theres a lot of learnings and one of the things we need to learn and really learn to appreciate is the hundreds of men and women back home. You have to Start Playing offense, matt. Got to start dealing a lot of discussion about refugees these days. Theres a real serious problem. Weve got to play defense at home, but the president cant let the clock run out. I know he loves basketball but its not like running out clock. You run out clock when youre winning. We need to build a coalition to deal with this in syria as well you mentioned here at home there are stories relating to this taking operation here at home so stick around for a second. I want to ask you about those in a second. The security concerns are here. They were evident overnight when two air france planes bound for paris had to be diverted to other airports. Nbcs janet vamian is in Salt Lake City where one of those jets was held for most of the night. Janet, what can you tell us. Reporter matt, good morning. Passengers are describing a frantic scene in the moments before that plane made an unscheduled landing here in Salt Lake City, and then once on the ground everything was inspected. The cargo, the baggage, and the crew, to the pilots were questioned by the fbi. Just days after the paris terrorist attacks, nerf racking moments for u. S. Passengers after bomb threats forced two air France Flights bound for paris to be diverted late tuesday. Flight 65 from los angeles took off about 7 00 p. M. About two hours into the trip diverted to Salt Lake City. Fire command and off vehicles, the next aircraft on final is the emergency aircraft. Reporter shortly after flight 55 from washingtons Dulles Airport also diverted to halifax, nova scotia. In a statement air france saying the flights were the subject of anonymous threats received by phone after their respective takeoffs. Were pretty much at a heightened level all the time at this point, and so people are vigilant. They just said that there was going to be an emergency landing, very unnerving given the situation that has been going on over in france. Reporter elsewhere, a spirit gate in baltimore after a female passenger became suspicious of a man watching a media report on his smartphone. Four people were removed from the flight but no arrests. And in boston an unruly woman was taken off a British Airways flight from london after trying to open an exit door midair. Turns out she had too much to drink. Air France Flight 65 finally left salt lake airport at about 3 00 this morning. It is currently in the air bound for paris. The fbi now saying that there was no credible evidence that these were true threats against they were true threats but no credible evidence to back them up, but in this time of heightened concern no one was taking any chances. Matt and savannah, back to you. Janet, better be safe than sorry, thank you very much. And security remains ramped up across the country. Nbcs National CorrespondentPeter Alexander is in washington and has more on that angle. Peter, good morning. Reporter hey, savannah, good morning to you. This morning were inside among those places bolstering security right now. Means more canine sweeps and more random screenings for explosives at the entrances and more officers systemwide all part of this new heightened state of alert. The isis threat warning the u. S. Is next has americans on edge. As washingtons Union Station no known threat but steppedup security no less. One Maryland School district cancelling planned field trips to the Nations Capital and on capitol hill two of the obama administrations top homeland officials privately briefed house members on the late intelligence about the paris attacks. Theres no specific credible threat to the homeland, but i think its clear that the primary concern of Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community is the risk of copycats here at home. Reporter nbc news has learned 20 fingerprint images from the paris attackers have been provided to the u. S. By french authorities, but no matches with u. S. Terror wash lists. Intelligence officials tell nbc Pete Williams terror databases here contain nearly 2,800 names with connections to france, 800 of those with ties to syria and now under extra scrutiny. The fbi is also beefing up its surveillance of known terror suspects here. A senior u. S. Official telling nbc news roughly 50 are getting the highest level of attention. And as for the ongoing fight over refugees, the number of governors who are either opposing or refusing or suspending the resettlement of syrians in this country has now grown to 31. Almost all of them republicans. Early this morning president obama again angrily blasted the republican rhetoric saying he cant think of a more potent recruitment tool for isis, and he mocked what he described as a fear of widows and orphans. Matt and savannah. Peter, thank you so much. We want to turn again to former Homeland Security secretary tom ridge. There is a technical piece of this as well, and another thing were learning more and more about is how these terrorists are using encrypted channels. Its getting harder and harder for our good guys to listen in on the bad guys conversations. That Silicon Valley should get involved and be helpful to Law Enforcement. What do you think about that, and is it even feasible . I think director comey has made several trips there imploring them to assist in dealing with. This one of the incredible ironies is that isis rejects the modern world and yet they use the modern world and the technology of the modern world and social media and the internet to spread their ideology, to recruit, et cetera, et cetera, so i think director comey is on the right path, and i hope that his nguyen minh trieties to Silicon Valley fall on receptive years because its investigators globally. We had the colorcoated security alert system. Right. If you were in that system now, would we be at red alert in this country . I couldnt tell you because i dont know what the intelligence is. It was much malign the at the time, but i do think it was designed so that when they had specific credible information, either sector specific or nationally, they could use it to alert folks. What people never quite understood is every color represented a level of security. The challenge we have now since 9 11 is that we know, we know that intelligence of Law Enforcement communities if they get specific threats they will act and act immediately. Its the unknown. It is the unknown thats the real challenge right now, all the more reason to use the force multiplier and use the folks on the streets and in these communities, all the more reason to Start Playing offense. Its about time that somebody led a coalition. Weve got some weve got we need leadership. It may have to come from president hollande. This president has spent more time criticizing republicans in their rejection of refugees. He ought to be providing leadership that historically the rest of the world looks to. Our friends look to it. Our foes want to understand where we are. Right now theres no leadership from america. I think its about time that the president understood hes commander in cheever until january of 2017. Its about time to lead. Well, there are so many issues that are raised by these attacks in paris. Thanks for being with us. Thank you very much. Now turning to the race for the white house. Republican hopeful ben carson is pushing back this morning after about his knowledge on Foreign Policy. Nbcs Hallie Jackson has more on that. Hallie, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. At a time when the paris attacks have put National Security front and center on the campaign trail, this morning ben carson and his campaign are really hitting back against a story that one of carsons own advisers thinks hes struggling to get a handle on Foreign Policy issues. This morning the doctors on defense. Ben carson under fire after reports hes failing on Foreign Policy. Well, you know, i think thats a narrative that people want to paint. Reporter a New York Times article quotes one of his National Security advisers as saying carson cant get one iota of intelligent information about the middle east and needed weekly briefings on Foreign Policy, so, quote, we can make the comments come from drain claritch, a controversial figure who was part of the irancontra scandal. Hes not my adviser, a person who has come in on a couple of our sessions to offer opinions about what is going on. Reporter carson has seemed to stumble on Foreign Policy before, like this moment during last weeks debate on syria. We also must recognize that its a very complex place. You know, the chinese are there as well as the russians. Reporter the white house shooting down the china claim and on sunday when carson was asked on fox news who hed call first if the paris attacks happened on his watch, he refused to answer, three times. What would you are call first . Burr who would you call first specifically . Can you tell us who you would call first, sir, on the International Scene . I would call for all of the arab states to be involved in this. Reporter candidate implying now those were gotcha questions. I know how that works and reporter carson himself acknowledges hes on a learning curve when it comes to Foreign Policy, and while he may lack that kind of traditional political experience his supporters seem to like it. Really refreshing to have somebody thats not a politician. Reporter the campaign tells me this morning they dont think any of this will hurt carson with voters, pointing out he gets daily briefings and that hes lived abroad and worked in or visited 57 countries. They are also drawing a comparison to another highprofile republican who they argue was wrongly slammed for his lack of Foreign Policy experience before he was elect the, ronald reagan. Matt. All right, Hallie Jackson, hallie, thank you very much. Lets turn to al. A lot of people dealing with severe weather. All across the country, and it will continue today.

The start of hodas party crash where hoda kotb surprises people as they celebrate milestones. Its 7 30 now on a wednesday morning, the 1th of november. Weve got breaking news out of france at this hour. A massive terror raid carried out on the outskirts of paris, and the target of a sevenhour siege. The alleged mastermind of last fridays attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud. But this morning his whereabouts and fate still very much in question. Nbc nightly news anchor lester holt is in zen we new developments on the raid. Lester, good morning to you. Reporter all right. Good morning, matt. President hollande saying we have neutralized terrorists here today referring to that overnight operation. Seven people taken into custody for questioning. Two others were killed. Police staging a dramatic raid about 4 30 in the morning here. They were met by a woman with a suicide vest. She detonated killing herself and injuring several of the Police Officers and killing a police dog as well. What followed for the next several hours were sporadic exchanges of gunfire that had people cowering in their apartments here as they listened to it. There were several explosions after about the third hour of this, and short ly ly thereafter police say the operation was over. They have acknowledged that they were targeting the people involved in fridays attack, including the possible mastermind, abdelhamid abaaoud. They have not said whether he is among those taken into custody or whether the two outstanding attackers that they have been looking for were part of this. They have only said they have been taken into questioning. Fact that they were met with someone with a suicide vest, of course, leads to the unsettling speculation as to whether more paris. This is a northeast suburb just of the outskirts of central here. Again, the operation is over as to who they have and what they have uncovered. Were still waiting to hear. Well keep you posted and back to you now. Lester holt in paris, lester, thank you very much. Weve been talking this morning, the downing of the russian jetliner have really heightened concerns over security here at home and this morning we have a startling undercover investigation thats tied to airport security. Today, National Investigative correspondent jeff rossen is here with that. Good morning to you. Good morning. Here we are just over a week to thanksgiving, the busiest travel season of the year. When you get to the airport and you hit the tsa security checkpoint, all know how it goes, right. Laptops out, belts off, shoes off, all to make sure you arent carrying any dangerous weapons, but this morning a new security breech sounding the alarm, and wait until you see what we were able to get through security. It is a shocking security breech. This man says he just carried a loaded gun on to a commercial flight in atlanta. The tsa never found it. Had it laying in my backpack right here, and i said mother of god. Reporter thats right. A semiautomatic pistol. He says he forgot it was this his carryon. Completely missed by tsa workers on the xray machine. How did that get on that plane. For the safety of the people of the united states. We need to tighten up. Reporter and its hard lit first time. During the tsas own internal investigation this year 67 out of 70 times someone was able to carry weapons and fake explosive devices right through security, undetected. Thats an astounding 95 failure rate. So could it really be that easy to smuggle banned items, my team and i fanning out across the country. Well start at l. A. X. At the airport right now and i bought this Swiss Army Knife, and im going to put it inside of my bag right in the middle. Right over there. And were going to see if they find it. Good news. They stopped me and confiscate the knife, but across the country in atlanta my producer jovanna has another Swiss Army Knife. Ive got the Swiss Army Knife and ill put it right here in my wallet. Reporter tsa screeners dont catch it. At the gate and look what got through. They didnt even pause on my bag. Think thats bad . My producer josh has a pair of sharp scissors. Got the scissors and the blade is longer than 4 inches and ill stick them down here in my bag and zip it up. Reporter gets them right through, no problem. Here we are at the gate and take a look. Still have them. Shocking. Reporter but the most all, these box cutters, the same weapon the 9 11 hijackers used. Seen here on Surveillance Video walking through the checkpoint back then. Now 14 years later watch what happens at newark. Ive got a box cutter here and ill close it up and put it deep inside my bag here and zip is up. Here i am at gate about to board my flight and take a look. Got it right through. So scary. Reporter yes. He just got a box cutter past the tsa. Fundamentally tsa hasnt changed since 9 11. We make the same mistakes over and over. Reporter Anthony Roman is an Aviation Security expert. When you see our results, we were able to get three of the four banned items we wanted to get through through, undetected and no questions asked. As a family man myself how concerned should i be . You need to have a level of concern. These weapons are Deadly Weapons absolutely do a better job. Reporter the tsa declining our request for an oncamera interviews instead telling nbc news its undave epstein isable for any prohibited item to pass through security and they frequently conduct testing and have implemented changes to better deter, detect and disrupt any threat of potential terrorism. Is this a wakeup call for tsa in washington and every airport across the country in. It is a wakeup call. There are good rules and regulations in place for tsa to perform their job. Its a failure of accountability on the Management Level and on the officer level. Reporter eyeopening for sure. By the way, after getting all of those items past security, we went back to the checkpoints and told them they missed them and returned the items voluntarily. One tsa worker even telling us shes embarrassed and wished all passengers were as honest as us. Of course, they are arent, of course. The bad guys arent, and the tsa does say they confiscate thousands of items a year. Experts, as you can see, just not enough. A high failure rate, thats for sure. Jeff, thank you very much. Lets get a check of the weather now from mr. Roker. Some of that air travel is going to be a little on the bumpy side today because weve got a lot of wind going on. All right. On the west coast, weve got a big area of high pressure. Midsection of the country weve got low pressure and then as we make our way to the east over the northeast weve got a big area of high pressure, so the difference between those pressure systems basically set up pressure gradeients. Those bands of pressure squeezing the wind between them, so as that happens well be looking at a lot of wind. In fact, weve got high wind watches and warnings out through the Pacific Northwest into the plains. In fact parts of wyoming already reporting wind gusts of 85 Miles Per Hour or more and could get up to 100mileperhour winds. Winds in bismarck 26 and omaha today will see wind gusts of 22 Miles Per Hour, and as we make our way further to the west, we are looking at a lot of winds over the next several days. Power outages, downed trees and high profile vehicles like 18 wheelers have to al, the concern youre talking about is rolling into our neighborhood. Well see high winds and rain tomorrow. For today, 56 degrees. Clouds on the increase. Were going to see patchy drizzle late this afternoon into the evening hours. Tonight, down to 53. That drizzle stays and the clouds remain. Then over the next seven days, tomorrow is a rough one. An inch of rain gusting winds upwards of 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour. We dry out for the weekend. Thats a quick look at your weather picture. Folks, back to you. Get that weather any time you need it, Weather Channel on cable and weather. Com online. Thanks, al.

With my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible.

Me too. Look who s here . Back now at 7 43. A lot of reaction to matts interview yesterday with Charlie Sheen. Announced to the world yesterday that hes hivpositive and while some are rallying around the veteran actor, others are in shock including some of the women in sharyl charlies life. Heres nbc correspondent miguel almaguer. Im here to admit that aim hivpositive. Reporter as Charlie Sheen went public for the first time here on today, his diagnosis came as news to some with whom he had been intimate. I could be dead right now, literally dead. On inside edition. Bri olson, one of sheens exgirlfriends seen here in 2011 says despite what he told matt the actor never disclosed to her his hiv status. Like playing russian roulette roulette. Reporter this morning sheen was reportedly not hivpositive at the time of the relationship and at least one other woman says sheen never told her he was hivpositive either. That woman has sought legal counsel. Sheen says hes had unprotected sex with two women since his diagnosis and amanda bruce is one of those women. I think the real russian roulette comes forward with not coming forward about conditions you have or having unprotected sex frequently with partners. Reporter sheens doctor said his bloodwork shows an undetectable level of the hiv virus but recommends he use protection and specialist dr. Robert bowland says the only time you know from a blood test whether the virus is undetectable is the moment its taken you. Dont know whether its unto defense secretariable the next day, the next week, the next month. You just cant be sure all of the time. Reporter while laws vary state to state here in california anyone who is knowingly infected with hiv doesnt disclose their status and purposefully tries to infect felony. Sheen says hes always been open and honest but he told matt he does expect lawsuits. A father of five, sheens exwife brook mueller confirmed neither she nor her boys confirmed shes hivpositive.

Its a busy news morning as well. Im going to go inside to natalie and she has a check of all the mornings top stories. Good morning once again. Lots of developments in paris. Explosions and gunfire echoed through a paris suburb this morning as politician carried out a deadly raid aimed at the mastermind behind fridays terror attacks. Nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely is in saintdenisy. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie, a seven more stage and an isis ring leader targeted seeing with a woman blowing her up with a suicide vest. An extraordinary night. Police believe they were targeting an isis cell that was planning another series of attacks. A gun battle and explosions echoed overnight in a quiet kwai od in the heart of paris. They had a specific target, this man, abdelhamid abaaoud. The bell jab suspected of planning last fridays terror attacks that killed 129 people. As soon as police stormed the building, one woman wearing a suicide vest blew herself up. Its unclear if abaaoud is among those arrested. According to police five officers and one civilian were injured. This mornings raid took place a mile from the stade de france, the stadium targeted nearly a week ago. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Reporter witnesses say they could hear multiple explosions. Some residents removed from their homes out of harms way. After seven hours with heavy gunfire exchanged, frances government spokesman confirmed the raid was finally over. And Police Telling me that they targeted this apartment because of tapped phone conversations, because of surveillance of that young woman and also because of other witnesses. And sources telling nbc news that there is every reason to believe that this could have been an imminent attack. Thats based on the number of people in the apartment, the fact that there was an active suicide vest that obviously was detonated quite quickly and based on the fact of the number of guns and ammunition used over this sevenhour siege they believe this was an isis sell possibly planning an imminent attack. Natalie. Very scary. Bill neely in paris once again for us, thank you. President obama is pushing back against republicans, especially governors, who are citing the paris attacks as a reason to shut out syrian refugees. Speaking in the philippines today the president said that keeping out orphans or only admitting questions as some have suggested would go against american values. We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic. More than half of the nations governors are now raising objections to the president s plan to resettle 10,000 syrians in the u. S. Now to the race for the white house, and louisiana governor bobby jindal has suspended his campaign for the republican president ial nomination. Jindal, whose poll numbers put him near the bottom of the gop field said tuesday this is not my time. He did not endorse another candidate but says he will support the partys nominee. Jindal was the first person of indianamerican heritage to run for the white house. Rescuers raced to the scene after a car plunged into the water off marina del rey, california, tuesday night. The car had been involved in a hitandrun accident. Witnesses saw two or three men getting out of the water and running away. Divers said it appears there was no one left in the vehicle which was then pulled back on to dry land. Well, you know how annoying it gets when ants invade your picnic. Well, how about this scene. Take a look. Some Florida College students were enjoying an outdoor snack when that alligator just stronghold up and took over their blanket.

All that and more coming up now. From nbc news this the requests todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall. Rockefeller playsa. Welcome to today, its wednesday morning, november 18, 2015. Im willie along with al and tamron. Natalie had to leave a little early this morning for an assignment. Big crowd outside. Justin bieber is our concert star and will have a song for us in just a moment but we do want to begin in paris where this Morning Police carried out a raid and engaged in a long shootout north of the city. Richard engel is in saintdenis for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. That raid took place in a house on the street behind me. It began around 4 30 this morning and police were apparently expecting a fight. They came in heavily armed. Hundreds of officers, and as soon as they entered into an apartment on the third floor a woman inside was apparently wearing a suicide vest. She detonated that vest killing herself and injuring five of the Police Officers. French president says that seven two of what hes calling the terrorists were killed in that apartment. Theres been no identification of the people who are arrested, but the main suspect, the main target of this raid, we are told, is the mastermind of the paris attacks, a Belgian National wanted for a long time for his involvement and his isis. Officials are now trying to verify whether they got him or not. They are not saying anything to the press as this investigation is ongoing. Willie. Richard engel just outside paris for us. Thank you so much, richard. Late yesterday bomb threats forced two air France Flights bound for paris to be divert. One flight from l. A. X. Landed in Salt Lake City and a second flight from washington, d. C. Handed in halifax, nova scotia. Unanimous threats were received at those planes by phone. Fbi says there was no though credible evidence to suggest that those were real. Meanwhile, overseas, a sports stadium in germany full of thousands of fans was evacuated after intelligence said an attack was planned. No bomb was found there. Though in london at Wembley Stadium where fans sang the French National anthem before a soccer match between france and england. Listen. Beautiful moment there in london. Prince william was in the crowd and he laid a wreath before the match. Also weve got a nice piece of video to show yo heres Prince William late wreath before the match began. Some nice video as well. A reporter from frances le petit journal interviewing a young son with his father about thats a beautiful moment. If youre listening on sirius xm and dont know what they were saying, basically a father at memorial telling his young son that the flowers and candles are here to protect us, a way of explaining whats happening and making some sense of it anyway to a child. Go ahead. I was thinking you both are parents, and, you know, im very close to my nieces and nephews, my nieces birthday is in march and wants to go to paris and this weekend i had to explain to her why we may not go on this thought about you guys and parents who so often, whether its Something Like this or even a tragedy in your family, losing a loved one, how do you explain this, and complexity of this. Yeah. When your children happen to tune in and its everywhere, how do you tell them about Something Like . And i know it sounds like one those tv questions. Its real. I was thinking about it this weekend. Absolutely is. Ive got a 13yearold, a 17yearold and a 28yearold, and each one of them were concerned, and in fact courtney my oldest was calling me, saying, dad, have you heard about this. Supposedly theres some chatter about something going on here. I mean, kids are no matter how old you are, adults, are now concerned about this, and, you know, we have to as we did after 9 11 at a certain point you say weve got to keep moving and have to live our lives and you just try to be as vigilant as possible. My kids are 6 and 8 and this is obviously tough stuff for kids that age. What we do is just answer their questions. They live in the world. They got other kids at school and they hear about it and listen to them and answer their we dont plop them down in front of nightly news or cnn and have them watch all the coverage. Its happening and kids at school are saying could it happen in new york and we try to answer honestly the questions they give us. Whats interesting earlier in our program jeff rossen was on with this rossen investigates, always been concerned about tsa which went into effect after 9 11 and the an atlanta man was able to bring a loaded gun by accident, he forgot, brought a semiautomatic saying he didnt know, forgot about it. Got through security just on november 5th. Take a listen. This it laying in my backpack right here and i said mother of god. How did that get on that plane . For the safety of the people of tighten up. And so thats why jeffs Undercover Team investigated, and they got three of the four banned items through. They got at Swiss Army Knife, a atlanta and a pair of box cutters in newark. Now during the tsas own internal investigation this year, 67 out of 70 times somebody was able to carry a weapon or face explosive device through security undeterkt the. Thats 95 of the time people were able to get stuff through undetected. That is frightening. It is frightening. You dont want to beat down on these men and women who are tsa agents but you do have to look at tsa leadership and say what is their plan . Are they going to implement something to improve this, and they have talked a lot about it, but jeff rossen just filed this report well after the tsa studies showed that they failed 95 of the time. Tsa says in their statement its unanable for any prohibited item to pass through security undetect. They frequently test and have implemented systematic changes to better deter, detect and disrupt any threat of potential terrorism and a lot of people are very vigilant in that organization, but obviously they have some systemic issues that they need to address. Clearly. This is not big sophisticated stuff were talking about. Box cutters, does that set off an alarm after 9 11 terrorists. A basic handgun that was in there. Again, i agree with you. I have respect for the tsa agents who are doing the best they can, wait in the long lines for 15 years and you go through this thing and people say its security theater. Not actually protecting ourselves. Unfortunately, these results confirm some that have. And we keep getting the same statement saying they are implementing things to change but whenever they are tested like in the case of jeff rossen, they fail, and to your point, it wasnt a sophisticated thing that jeff and his team d. Incredible. Just walked on, boom in, a backpack. Not like it was in a secret compartment. Crazy. Can we lighten the mood just a bit. Great idea.
