new york city. one of the busiest transportation hubs in the country. a suspect is in custody and that suspect was the only person injured in that explosion. >> bill: we get word from the white house president trump has been briefed on this and reports the f.b.i. is investigating it as a possible terror attack. the former nypd commissioner bill bratton on television an hour ago saying he sees so far there is evidence suggesting this appears to be isis-inspired. this is what he said on that. >> preliminary information from police services, i emphasize they're preliminary and subject to change. it is a man in his middle 20s probably. possibly from bangladesh, been in the country about seven year who supposedly was setting the device up in the name of isis, definitely a terrorist attack, definitely intended. >> sandra: rick leventhal at the scene in mid town manhattan. good morning to you. i remind everyone this happened at 7:30 a.m. eastern time was the first report of that explosion happening. that i

i remember when sandy hit new york city. the governor talked about the flooding which took place, forgetting that this hurricane hit, sandy, at high tide on a full moon, which contributed to the flooding in our area. in reality, climate change, is it making our weather as we've been told it would, more extreme and worse, or is there something else going on? >> it's actually very complicated answer, and the u.n. climate panel tells us very clearly, look, right now we can't show there's a connection between global warming and hurricanes, but in the long run, they'll probably be slightly feuer hurricanes but slightly stronger. yes, there is a connection, but by far the biggest issue when it comes to hurricanes is getting people better resilience. making sure you have better levies, that you have better infrastructures, as we saw in harvey. you have better flood control. many, many other things that would do much more and help many more people much more effectively. so in some ways, the whole climate conversation is a detraction

if you are a bad guy looking at new york city new york city looks and vulnerable. there is the shield around the city. on october 31st that shield was pierced and it was demonstrated that an attack can be carried out in new york city and we have less than six weeks later a second attack, the first suicide bomber in new york city. >> that is what he was attempting to do and he was incompetent and we got lucky. >> only the fact that he couldn't make it work but there's nothing to stop him from exploding a few blocks from here. >> is the nypd as you observed doing something differently now than it did in the past? >> there is a political question that has to be asked, bill diblasio ran for mayor, he ran to some degree against the nypd. that is who he positioned himself against and shortly after coming into office a lot of media attention was garnered because they issued a press release when they shut down the demographics unit. don't know how many times when the unit of half a dozen people is shut down, justified a press release. >> what did that demographics unit do

new york city police department is terrific. combine them with the fbi and the jttf, they'll know a lot about this guy within the next five to six hours. it's really a tragedy. thank god is a huge tragedy that was avoided. as many, many bomb makers are, they just do a terrible job at making bombs and destroy themselves. the 1993 bombing was a typical example. he also exploded some bombs prematurely, which prevented him from doing the plot. so these guys, while they read about it, they try to do it, they try to make bombs, they're not always successful. many times get hurt themselves. >> jim, to bill's point, the police and fbi may be peeling this guy apart piece by piece, but the pipe bomb didn't. you and i spoke earlier today. you said he is not a master bomb maker. i want to share this picture of what appears to be the suspect. he's on the ground being apprehended. it is posted on twirtter and ben confirmed by senior law enforcement officials. step by step, jim, tell us what is happening here. >> this guy is a bone head. this

so it is new york city. commuters in some ways are used to dealing with security, you know, things that happen like this, in the city, new york cer you keep hearing it over and over, a resilient group of people. and that's what folks are dealing with this morning. >> again, we're looking at live pictures from outside port authority right now. we are waiting for this news conference which is about to begin. >> let's bring back in our law enforcement analyst, tom fuentes is our senior law enforcement officer, and joseph giacalone is back with us. we're waiting to hear from police commissioner o'neil. i don't know if we'll hear from the mayor of new york city, we well may. four injuries at this point in time. how close of a near miss, tom, was this? >> i think, poppy, if it was detonated in a passageway, as we heard, then it probably would have the ability to touch a lot fewer people. so, yes, we have, you know, it sounds like four people injured, including the person with the bomb. but that's not like standing

the city including new york city boosting security in the wake of the attacks. new york governor andrew cuomo increasing security at high profile locations including airports, bridges, tunnels and mass transit systems. of the big cities across the us following suit. in boston there will now be an increased police presence at all transit stops. officers and canine unit standing by at north station and south station, philadelphia, stepping up patrols across mass transit lines. k9 and police around suburban stations in center city. authorities beef up security across the country, we are learning about the four heroic cops but took down the new york city bomber, port authority police officers, sean gallagher, jack collins andrew preston credited with making the split-second decision and putting their lives on the line to save others running towards the panic, leaping on top of the suspect and removing the device before he could set off another explosive. thank you to those four men. roy more making a last-minute push hours before voters hit the polls. >> i want amer

in 1993, there were 1,668 murders in new york city. this past year that ends this weekend, just 284. how do you explain what's happened with the crime rate in new york? >> amazing strategic work by the nypd. increasingly a partnership between the nypd and the communities they serve. look, for a long time the comstat idea, engineered by bill bratt, it was strategic. it was putting cops where the problems were, going after hardened criminals, focusing like a laser on the biggest problems. we have taken that idea, built upon it year after year. nypd gets better all the time. more training, more support, more technology. but on top of that, because of the fleecing philosophy, we have a relationship between police and community. what's happening, community members are telling police proactively if they know someone has a gun, if they think there will be a problem between gangs, if they think there could be any kind of violence going on. this gives the police the intelligence on the ground they needed all along. community partners are helpin

history, new york city has been designated a sear 1 threat. they're taking no chances adding snipers and armed rapid response teams on top of 800 steel pylons. >> i'm very confident that we're making sure this new year's eve will be safe. >> reporter: other cities are beefing up too. chicago police are adding specialized teams with a focus on vehicle-style attacks. for the first time miami will conduct random security checks at outdoor events. in san francisco after an attempt to attack pier 39, police are beefed up along the famed embarcadero. while any mass gathering is a potential target, no city has received information about a credible threat at this time. tony dokoupil, cbs news, new york. >>> in a new interview president trump tells "the new york times" he doesn't know how long the special investigation into the russian meddling will last. during an interview he said he thinks bob mueller will be fair and everybody knows there was no collusion with his campaign. the president said he thought a prolonged investigation makes the country l

certainly in new york state more generally but probably in new york city even more so. >> i think there is anxiety around testing and the roles of testing. i think there is a sense that filling out bubbles endlessly is not productive. i would agree. that it is not productive. i think just because a test is multiple-choice does not it's -- you can have high-quality i'm making a poor multiple-choice test. you can pour short response test are really thoughtful interesting and engaging problems. the problem is not the formant the test commits the quality of the question is have to ponder. i think the new york state tests are relatively good test. i think the mathematics test is not sufficiently difficult. i think i'm the only person boost math test are not hard enough. a lot of the test anxiety is misplaced. we do not get these outstanding results to through test prep. we get that because our students are reading a poem a day and their learning how to write and learning mathematical reasoning. you cannot bases, cortes lester in instruction every hour every day strong. you also can i get the

we passed a friday night with major protests in new york city. it's a game, the state of the country today when both sides, democrats and republicans can agree on something, that is rare, but both sides can agree on this. maria: certainly chuck schumer was a proponent of it. dagen: this goes back 20 years. congress in this country of knowledge that jerusalem is the capital of israel. this was in 1995 this happened. president clinton said the same day president bush and president obama said about recognizing jerusalem. if this is the underpinning of the foundation between the palestinians and israel is said they are. and the other arab nations don't have bigger problems whether islamic terrorism, threat of iran are bigger issues. train to visit the bigger issues. train tranter remains to be seen to take a hard stand. >> trinkets incredibly see the saudi's and israelis aligning. as iran is the common enemy. dagen:.the bigger issue. president trump still stands by the two state solution. this is a logical move bandit was dead. these protests are abo

and they moved back to new york city. up going to his regular doctor who knew there was a serious problem is seen as he looked at his throat. he sent him to a throat specialist. douglas'sto dr. office and dr. douglas looked at his throat and grant looked at douglas'face and said, is a cancer? -- is it cancer? the doctor had to tell him it was cancer. grant worked on his memoirs throughout the winter of 1884, 1885, and where the spring of 1885, it was touch and go. he had a couple of near-death experiences. his doctors believed to the only way he would survive long enough to finish his book was to get him out of the city which was humid and dusty and hot to a mountaintop environment. that is what they did with a lot of ailing people. they were looking for opportunities. a friend of the family, joseph drexel, approached the doctors in the grant family to offer them the use of his cottage he purchased on the top of mount mcgregor. just above saratoga springs. the cottage that mr. drexel wasred to the grant's fairly modest in

he had a slip and fall on the icy sidewalk in new york city. that put him bedridden for a few weeks. early in 1884, the spring, he arrived at the office of grant and ward and found out there was a major financial crisis. he had to get a loan from his friend william vanderbilt for $150,000 to try to keep the firm afloat. he brought the money to their business partner, ferdinand ward who had been doing the books the entire time. he thought maybe this would help the firm survive. in fact he found out soon afterwards that ward was actually a crook. he had been running essentially a ponzi scheme the entire time. the grants -- it hit the grant family like a bombshell. they were financially devastated because they had invested heavily in the firm, the whole family had. now they had to find a way to make money. grant felt personally responsible. he had encouraged his family and others to invest in the firm. even though he was a victim, he felt personally responsible and wanted to pay back his debt. the grants were in a difficult situation financially b

the port authority is the major bus terminal here in new york city. it goes on for blocks and blocks. and right now police say they are responding to reports of this pipe bomb. we're told that it was a possible pipe bomb detonated below ground over the port authority. that's where all of these buses tend to leave from. we don't know if this was in a bus or near these buses. we would assume so because it's below ground, the port authority. one person is in custody according to police sources. only a few injuries right now but police have video. they are confident this is contained right now. as you know this just happened. we're just learning about this and all of these situations are always so fluid. >> no question about that. meantime subways have been diverted away from the terminal? >> that's right. and you can see this is obviously a heavily trafficked area this time of the morning where you have people going to work, all of these commuters rely on the port authority. so police are doing their best to try to get people away from the area just to

me now is a man who knows new york city very well, former new york city police commissioner bill bratton and brett stevens, an msnbc political analyst and op-ed columnist for "the new york times." commissioner, i start with you, what's your take on this? >> the preliminary information coming ought of this event this morning is that this was a sole actor. 27 years old is correct. the early information is a bangladesh native and been in the country for seven years and supposedly committed this act in the name of isis. that's all preliminary law enforcement source information at this time. they will be doing the rollbacks to where he live, trying to determine as much information as they can. was he acting by himself, was he acting with others, that will all be part of the now expanding investigation. this investigation, apparently a terrorist act, will be taken over quickly by the fbi joint terrorism task force with the n nypd. and while it occurred apparently between port authority and new york city transit facilities in a walkway that is heavily used in the rush hours, that the nature of
