the pressure on wolfe then snowballed. the following day, members of the concerned faculty group at the university of missouri voted to stage a walkout, and the missouri students association, representing 27,000 undergraduates, called on wolfe to resign. on sunday night, wolfe was still defiant, vowing to stay on. but in a shocking turn of events on monday, wolfe held a news conference to announce his departure. >> i am resigning as president of the university of missouri system. my motivation in making this decision comes from love. i love mu. columbia, where i grew up, the state of missouri. i have thought and prayed about this decision. it is the right thing to do. the response to the announcement i'm sure ranges from joy for some to anger and others, and that is why we're here today. so let me's be to why this is so important at this time. concerneddents, from 1952 are grad students, football players and other students, the frustration and real,that i see is clear, and i don't doubt it for a second. i would ask everybo

wolf? >> this is the first major national poll among republicans that was done completely after that last republican presidential debate. so clearly if you go from 10% in september now down to 4%, that's not very encouraging. what are you hearing, jamie, about these reports out there that he's hired a debate coach to help him get ready for next week's republican presidential debate? >> right. cnn has learned that he has hired a debate coach, and jeb has commented on it. he said it's not for interviews like the one we just did. it's for the debate. and he said the reason that he's meeting with the coach is to improve his performance. he's had one meeting. he was asked what advice the coach gave him, and he said the coach said he's telling me to be me, he's telling me to own what i believe. so i think part of this is also that jeb has answered the questions directly he's been asked and in debates you have to learn to pivot and get your message out. so part of it is sort of retr n retraining h

>> hi, wolf. yes, i am standing in front of the police cordon where that apartment was raided last night or in the early morning hours today by the police. certainly, the raid, itself, it was targeting abaaoud abdelhamid. he was the person that they were after, and also, they assumed that a relative of his was in the apartment as well. and the latest that we heard from the paris prosecutor, they are not sure whether or not he was among those who were killed. they did say that they did take eight people into custody in raids throughout the day that he is not one of them. so it is unclear whether or not he is still at large. it is unclear whether or not he is among the two people killed here. but certainly, this was a very intense operation, and he was here for part of it. as wit was going on, explosions went off, and of course, a female suicide bomber who detonated herself as the police tried to enter the building, but what happened afterwards is that they then had to fire heavy ordnance, and what

>> that's right, wolf. french authorities may have succeeded in killing abaaoud but the search continues not just for the eighth attacker, salah abdeslam who is still at large but also for this network that likely would have been necessity to facilitate these attacks. we know there was a major raid in another city and our affiliate france 3 has told us there was an explosion according to neighbors and residents. possibly a controlled explosion from the authorities. those residents also told france 3 the entire area was closed off. we know french authorities have searched the house of the mother of the female suicide bomber. that woman, the 26-year-old cousin of abaaoud, who blew herself up when the french authorities began that raid. and it's not just limited to france, wolf. we know in belgium there have been a series of raids. nine people arrested. we've also heard now from german authorities that abaaoud spent time in germany as recently as january. and even the spanish interior minuister has come out an

man, tim wolfe totally messed up on that one. that's not how his cousin dick wolf would have handled that situation. he would have written 18 seasons of a long-running procedural about it, to everyone's delight.

(laughter) just putting that out there. (cheers and applause) up to $3,500! can't you deny yourself something that wasn't prepaid at the beginning of the semester? ugh. just putting it out there. i get it now. a hunger strike is serious. no president wants to see a kid possibly die of hunger over something like this. i mean, that is why he resigned, right? >> when black football players at missouri, an s.e.c. school, said they would not play or practice again until wo

wolf. salah abdelsalam was actually stopped by the police driving towards the belgium border just hours after that attack. he is the brother of one of the attackers who blew himself up inside the bataclan theater. and yet he was able after being questioned for a short while to continue on. obviously the thought was that he went to belgium and we saw in the brussels suburb this morning extraordinary raid two entire city blocks shut off, the bomb squad were brought in. they brought in mobile robotic bomb units, detonated explosions reported. and all across the country here in france today more than 150 rai raids, 23 arrests, they said they found weapons, heavy weapons, rocket launchers, they found military clothing, police here not only, wolf, looking for that elusive eighth attacker, but also trying to drill down on a larger network that would have been necessary to facilitate and orchestrate this complex and sophisticated attack. but so far it appears no real leads, wolf. >> so so far despi

protesters say wolf has the not done enough to hear their concerns. in today's statement, wolf says his administration has been doing a tremendous amount of reflection on how to address these complex matters and wants to create the safe space for a meaningful conversation that promotes change. the same type of wording he used while talking to protesters last week. >> i want to talk. i want to understand this. i want to come up with a way we can get progress made on these particular issues. >> reporter: in response today the advocacy group, concerned student 1950 tweeted wolfe is on the wrong side of history. started earlier this year. most recently, a swastika was found in a residents hall drawn with human feces. students reported having racial slurs yelled at them in two incidents. that led the chance lr to plead for an end to racism on campus. >> it's enough. let's stop this. let's end hatred and racism at missou. >> reporter: nu graduate student, butler doesn't think enough has been done the he went on a hunger strike last week saying he is willing

>> reporter: hugely, wolf. in terms of per capita, in terms of those going to fight in syria, in terms of those coming back from syria, belgium has a disproportionate number of young men and women who have been radicalized. this neighborhood here, very close to when the "charlie hebdo" attacks happened, there was a small terror attack here in belgium that led back here. so this has been really at the center of authority's concerns for a while, and this only escalates that worry. >> nima, stand by. we'll get back to you throughout the night as our special coverage continues. i want to get some more on what's going on. joining us now is peter bergen, the former fbi assistant director sean hennry. peter, isis claimed responsibility for these terror attacks in paris, calling them "the first of the storm," meaning they're promising a whole lot more. the french president hollande says this was in fact an isis attack. how credit is this isis assertion that they did this? >> well, let's start with the fact that no one

wolf? >> all right, barbara. thank you. if isis is proven to be responsible for this russian jet crash that killed all 224 people on board, it would be another huge advance for the terror group and its ability to commit mass murder and mayhem around the globe. we have a chilling, new look at the expansion of isis right now. our chief national security correspondent, jim sciutto, is joining us. jim, map all of this out for us. >> it's an alarming expansion. just over the course of the last year, remember, this is their home base, where they were created, isis, iraq and syria. but over the course of the last 12 months, both were expanding but also some terror groups pledging allegiance, in effect, to isis. look at how far they've gone. you have a group in sinai, where this attack is alleged to have taken place, all across north africa, tunisia, where you'll remember a beach attack killed many british tourists earlier this year, expanding down here into nigeria, but also into yemen, for instan

to eat until wolfe was gone. monday, he said he had started eating again and was grateful. >> i do appreciate the prayers that received positive thoughts and messages, thank you for the community input. >> over the weekend, some republican and democratic lawmakers in the state legislature called on wolfe to resign. the end of the line may have been a threat by 30 black members of missouri's football team, announcing that they wouldn't practice or play as long as wolfe stayed, a prospect that could have cost the school millions of dollars. wolfe took responsibility for the lack of dialogue on campus but said the threats and hunger strike were the wrong way to make changes. >> we have to respect each other enough to stop yelling at each other and start listening and quit intimidating each other. >> afterwards, football players said this gave new meaning to the term student athletes and their coach supported them. >> we will continue to build with the community and support positive change on the campus. >> i didn't
