A lot of people saying theyre afraid of an attack by isis. Ill have the latest on that and what president obama, what secretary of state kerry are saying about the u. S.

Thanks, chris. Republican critics are blasting president obamas response to the terror attacks in paris. And when it comes to dealing with isis, theyre calling his strategy weak and his effort to reach out to moderate muslims misguided. Steve handelsman is live at Union Station. Steve, what are you hearing on your end . Reporter hi, chris. Thanks. Good evening. Here at Union Station, its not just the parents of those few students who are concerned about their security, for the first time really, were seeing noticeably stepped up security. Cops on the wall over there during this evening rush hour. More cops in cars over on that side. Earlier today, at least three officers dressed in paramilitary fashion in brown outfits. You talk to people, they say not everybody, but many say they are concerned about an isis attack. You can see why. Theres the disturbing news today out of germany. Theres a confirmation today from the russians whats been reported for a while now that that was a bomb that brought down that plane that isis said it downed in egypt then, of course, theres in the wake of paris, the widening investigation that involves so many more people. Our secretary of state, john kerry who speaks french incidentally, was in paris today speaking to french president hollande promising u. S. Cooperation to, in kerrys words, focus exactly on the core of al qaeda in syria. President obama down under in australia today was much more laid back, if you piwill. Laying out his plan to go after isis, he says, to ramp up was the president s terms, the u. S. Attack and to reach out to moderate muslims worldwide to try to counter the isis psychological kind of war of the hearts and minds offensive that president obama is still insisting could be an important part of our way to counter isis. But here on capitol hill, House Speaker paul ryan apparently making a reference to president obama said that the world needs american leadership, implying theyre not getting it now from the president. Mr. Ryan said this attack in paris was an act of war and he says we need to counter that. And so, chris, its a stark difference between how republicans are talking about the wake of paris and how president obama is. Whether thats meaningful in terms of what the u. S. Does remains a question. Back to you. All right. Yeah, theyre using different words. Sometimes it seems theyre speaking a different language. Thanks, steve. And now your storm team 4 forecast.

Darcy spencer is going to have a lot more on that coming up at 5 00. Well, there have been several big developments in france today. Investigators look to find the people responsible for those attacks. Nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel has more on the announcement of a second suspect on the run and discovery of a safe house. Reporter theres a new report from the Associated Press that french investigators are looking for multiple suspects, as many as two who may still be on the loose. They say one they believe was actively involved in the shooting. Earlier today, french authorities found what theyre describing as a safe house. A hotel on the outskirts of city. A lowbudget apartmentstyle hotel. A french newspaper released some images from inside that hotel. It showed syringes that may have been used to help assemble some of the suicide vests. So this is still very much an ongoing investigation. We are ain front of the batacla theater, of course, where the most tragic part of the massacre took place where people were inside with the gunman trapped inside with the gunman as the militants began to open fire indiscriminately then blew up their suicide vests. This place, this country, the city of lights has become a city of memorials. Of candlelights. Of torches. People are still coming to the terms that the city was attacked. They worry that it could get attacked again. Our challenge is to stop the immediate threat, obviously, and destroy it. Reporter french officials have said that isis carried it out and they think that isis is not over, that it wants to continue a wave of internationallevel attacks like the one we saw here in france. Richard engel, nbc news, paris. Weve been reporting about the evacuation of a soccer stadium in germany this afternoon. Just ahead of a big game there. Thats right. Were hearing reports that they are concerned about a second location also in hanover. J. J. Green is the National Security correspondent for our radio partner wtop. He joins us on the phone. J. J. , can you tell us what youre hearing there about the threat outside the stadium . Earlier today, there was a report that the soccer match had been postponed and eventually canceled, and the stadium evacuated because the police chief in hanover had information suggesting, he called it concrete information, suggesting that there was some type of explosive device set to go off at or near the stadium. Turned out later, and this still hasnt been confirmed in a hard manner, but weve gotten significant information from sources, several sources there, indicating that there was a truck, a bomb in a truck and it was rigged to go off but it was designed and disguised to look like an emergency vehicle. And, you know, at most stadiums you have emergency vehicles on hand. There was also a second scenario that we were told about at a train station in hanover that theyre looking at and have been looking at this afternoon and tonight there that supposedly contained an explosive device. So germany is on alert. High alert tonight because of concerns that they may be about to go down the same path that paris did last week. J. J. , there are also reports now that Security Forces in paris have a phone that belongs to one of the attackers. How important is that . Well, based on the information that ive gotten from sources within the last half an hour or so, that that telephone possibly had on it an operational status update which could be anything from its time to go, or the plan is working, or, you know, some directions. So it can obviously provide some significant information and guidance for intelligence and Security Officials who get the opportunity to listen to it and to go over it. But also theres a whole bunch of data on the phone that can help authorities out, gps. There could possibly be documents, telephone numbers, contact list. All sorts of stuff on that phone that could certainly point authorities in the direction that they need to go in or that they want to go in in order to make some progress in this investigation. So its not an insignificant find to get that phone. All right. Thank you very much, j. J. Again, bottom line, no explosives found outside that stadium there in hanover. Maryland governor larry hogan wants to halt a settlement of Syrian Refugees in maryland. He said after careful consideration he is asking federal authorities now to halt additional statements in maryland unless he gets assurances they pose no threat to public safety. More than half the countrys governors are expressing reservations or flatout asking the federal government not to send refugees their way. Despite calls from virginia, republicans Terry Mcauliffe made no change to its policy. Muriel bowser said they dont have a refugee policy so its not an issue here. Katie is with the Washington Post and has written about this issue. Katie, how much authority do these governors actually have to keep refugees out . Not much. The refugees it takes actually quite a while for refugees to come to the United States and actually started with the United Nations High Commission on refugees. They identify people who are, you know, in camps who are refugees then if they meet the criteria for refugees, they are then told to the United States then takes over and goes through a very extensive process that can last from 18 to 24 months to determine who these people are. You know, where they came from and where they may go. Then at that point the refugees are able to get settled. So its really a federal program and not a state program. So 18 months, thats the time for vetting. What else is involved in that process . You know, theres biometric screenings. You know, its difficult to do background checks on Syrian Refugees just because theres, you know, theres not a lot to go on, but theres a lot of biometric steps. Theres a lot of interviews that are done. You know, a number of thresholds that people have to get through sfw. So we spr a lot of republicans saying stop the flow, a lot of democrats saying that would be unamerican. These refugees have really become a Major Political football as we head into 2016, havent they . Absolutely. Governors and president ial candidates talking about this now as well. For example, senator ted cruz has said he plans to introduce legislation to bar Syrian Muslim refugees from coming into the country. He says that he believes Syrian Muslim refugees should be resettled in the middle east, majority muslim countries and the United States can provide financial assist taance or othe assistance but christians should be brought into the country given a safe haven. Rand paul wants to introduce legislation that would bar Syrian Refugees from coming into the United States and make it slightly difficult for people from france to only into the United States as well. All right. Katie of the Washington Post. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Charlie sheen says hes hiv positive and hes paid millions to keep people quiet. Why hes finally coming clean.
