and groups associated with it represent. >> hagel added that the united states can't fundamentally change the dynamics of the middle east, but it can help control violence. jane reports from erbil. >> the iraqi foreign minister says the u.s. strikes on target did of the islamic state group have so far been extremely effective. now, those strikes that happened just 40 kilometers from the kurdish capitol, erbil. they are targeted artilleries and convoys of the fighters. what they are trying to do really is eliminate the major threats to the kurdish capitol as well as lay the ground for the kurdish forces who haven't been able to hold the line against the islamic state fighters to actually come back in and retake territory. here in erbil, things are calm, but some foreign governments are evacuating their citizens. the foreign minister last night

condemned the move by the british government to bring its members of the diplomatic mission here back to britain. he said that there was actually no danger here and in parliament today, kurdish officials trying to persuade other members of other diplomatic missions that there is actually no need to leave. the u.s. has issued another travel warning for its citizens here saying they should travel here only if completely necessary and warning again of the dangers here it's not just the danger to foreigners. iraqis are in more danger. many still trying to leave those areas where they are trapped between fighters of the islamic state group and kurdish persmerga forces. more people displaced including those still struggling to get aid on at a time mountain, the ancient minority that has been trapped for days. the u.s. says it's continuing

air drops of food and water and kurdish officials are trying to take small groups of them down off of the mountain. >> for months, the islamic state has been considered a threat, slowly advance okay targets in iraq. first, they were called isil, which stood for the islamic state of iraq and the lavant. recently, they dropped the last part of their name suggesting they are no longer just focused locally. they used to be part of al-qaeda but are establishing a kalifate for a state where women are not allowed to leave their homes and people must pray together. al jazeera's jonathan betz has more cal. >> the islamic state group is so violent and so feared, not even al-qaeda will work with them. islamic state fighters are quickly becoming a growing threat not just to iraq but the world. >> what we see in sir i cant and now in iraq in terms of isis is the most serious threat to

britain's security that there is today. >> for months, rebels have been rampaging across syria and in iraq, slaughtering people, destroying shrines and demanding people of other faiths convert to islam, pay a tax, or be killed. its forced tens of thousands of minorities including christians to flee. >> it's grotesque, targeted acts of violence, show all of the warning signs of genocide. its fighters are armed with american weapons, abandoned by retreating iraqi forces and with millions in cash from looted iraqi banks. >> given all of the advances that isis or isil has made, i think that there are accounts -- their accounts have grown substantially above any other group. >> they are trying to carve out a strict islam ilk state where even mannequin's faces must be covered. it uses public executions to

enforce law. the leader is a mysterious figure who was captured by u.s. forces in 2005 but later released. he's boldly declared hills the leader for all muslims and openly challenges america. >> soon enough, you will find yourself in a direct confrontation with the sons of islam who have prepared themselves well for the day we will fight you. >> he has been using slick social media campaigns to recruit foreign fighters. >> i am in the front lines. >> including hundreds of westerners. >> these are actually quite battle hardened veterans who have real commitments to the jihadist cause. >> those fighters have captured much of iraq in syria but they don't want to stop here the group has said it wants to control all of this area within five years. it's probably more of a prpropaa ploy. but it shows it has big ambitions beyond the border of

syria and iraq. >> we will speak with a retired army major about why the u.s. is getting involved now. well, it's also been a busy morning in gaza where rockets and airstrikes have been flying overnight. the israeli military says it hit more than 30 targets inside of gaza. this all in response to 70 rockets fired at them. palestinian health officials say a 7 ario hammats member was killed in airstrikes at a mosque and was one of three bodies found underneath all of that rubble. the violence follows friday's collapse of a three-day truce. so far, more than 900 palestinians and 67 israelis have been killed. once again, the hospitals are getting busy in gaza. that's where we find al jazeera's and drew simmons. >> reporter: this is a triage section where they assess the level of need. it's been extraordinarily busy during this conflict with major decisions being made hear about what level of care people need. through here, this is the amber section, moderate cases.

over here, you can see some people who have had x-rays, some routine cases now, but the medics hearsay that they have been in a situation whereby 24/7, they have had no rest. during the three-day cease-fire, they had some respite, some ability to be able to put things together to get the supplies in a better state to do treatments, routine treatments as well, but the bottom line is, now, back where they were without a cease-fire in place, they need more assistance. they need more rest. they need some level of normality in this hospital, which they can't get because there is specialist care needed for many cases. they can't do here the demands of surgery with equipment and with blood supplies that are so great on so many occasions. put simply: they want more assistance here, a lot more. presidential hopefuls in turkey are making final pitches to

it does approach, it is expected to maintain its status as a hurricane and then eventually, by monday evening, just nort of kauai, it should weaken into a tropical storm. nonetheless, it bears watching. things look good for now. not expecting to see a direct hit. however, we could see at least some winds kind of kicking up along those outer bands, at least possibly getting in closer to those off-shore waters. >> that's where we still have a hurricane warning up but for the islands, it's mainly the flooding that still remains a concern here but no tropical sparrows warnings, hurricane warnings up for this area. it's already very saturated here so as that rain continues to pull up, this is from iselle, we are expecting to see heavy downpours as we go through the day today around kauai, expect more rain from the system. winds will die down. conditions will gradually improve as we go through the day. back at home, we are watching for storms to fire up here across the midwest and through the southeast. morgan, back to you. >> all right. thanks, ebony.

to the best/northwest maybe seeing winds kick out well out into the off-shore waters. here is a look at hawaii. it looks like the big island now clearing out as post-tropical iselle moves off to the west. as it does, we will see gradual improvement. it is still very moist here flooding remains a concern, mudslides as well, and this is what we are expecting with julio. it's still just about 600 miles off to the east but it's making its way off to the west and northwest. morgan back to you. >> thanks so much, eboni. >> there is a new warning for facebook users over a harmful application, known as face book color changer claims it can let you alter the color of your facebook profile but according to cheetah mobile, it's a scam. it works by trickingiers into downloading a malicious program. researchers estimate more than 10,000 people in multiple countries have been impacted. speaking of the web, there is a real divide when it comes to broadband internet services

them. >> these kids who introduce themselves to me are some of the estimated 600,000 yazidis in iraq. their numbers have dwimingdzed. some have left to marry outside of the faith and to escape the more than 30% unemployment rate. they have been the victims of massacres they say 72 times in history. >> they have kept their culture and faith alive despite persecution by saddam hussein and the vie 11 after his fall. but their opponents today are sunni muslim militants who see them as inif he had he wills deserving death. roxanne a. >> president obama's decision to approve these airstrikes and humanitarian in iraq came late wednesday night. according to reports, he was in a limo with martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, a 5 minute ride that turned into an hour long meeting in which dempsey seen to the right side convinced the commander in chief the situation

was critical. well, a retired armand majoron and a senior fellow at the truman national project. it's a pleasure to have you with us. >> good morning morgan. >> let's jump back into that picture. he said there is a dire situation happening in erbil and warned this could be another benghazi. why is it important? >> it's the strategic center of gravity for the kurds right now. it's almost their alamo. if they can't defend that location, then any potential of kurdistan becoming an independent nation goes down the drain. >> really. >> absolutely. >> based upon erbil? >> absolutely. there are a million people there, resources there, to have a country, you have to have all of these things, people, resources, sell goods and services. >> gives them this opportunity. they recognize right away, benghazi pite not be the analogy because there are not a lot of people there. if isis takes that over, the humanitarian effort alone to try to take care of the people there

would be just tremendous. >> why are they comparing it to benghazi? >> i think he was concerned about the americans there. possibly they would have been targeted. >> got it. >> let's say isis infiltrates there and they would go after the americans there. they would be more than the airstrikes and now we have enough time to evacuate them. so, if things got very bad there, we would likely have those americans leave. >> which is interesting because obama then said, look. the united states is not about to be the iraqi air force. so what would you call this mission? >> the air force of the kurds, i think, the same thing could happen, also, if something happened in jordan. we don't want to have this alignment too closely to the government in iraq right now only because the government is undergoing this upheaval. if the government in iraq gets together and figures out it will work together from a unity perspective, you might see then more cooperation from the united states. we know this. the kurds have been our friends. we supported them back in the '9 '90s, the no-fly zone after

desert storm gave the kurds this room to breathe, grow, create institutions. we are various close to them. i think this is a smart move by the president. >> let's talk about what's happening on this. we heard the president say late thursday night, this is like sophie's choice, an unthinkable choice where we have tens of thousands of people on that mountain. how do you protect them without putting boots on the ground? >> i don't know. i think they have to figure it out operationally to get those people off of that mountain is going to take people who are going to be there creating a safe package to a place like turkey whether those troops are coming from the security forces protecting the equipment and the supplies that are falling is another issue. we are losing track of some of them as it has turned out. but we've got phase ii and 3 to go in this operation. it still could end badly. we've got to hope that we get troops, somewhere there, the iraqi security forces there in order to secure that location. >> the prime minister is still up for grabs, the position of

prime minister. how, exactly, will that affect iraq's political future? >> you know, this prime minister has to be the un iter, the person who brings the government together, brings the sunnis back into the fold here and has them walk away from isis and what their doing right now. they are still -- there is still a great possibility within the iraqi government to defeat isis and what they are doing but only if they are united as one party. >> quickly before we go. the u.s. response here in iraq, why do you think it's been so different from the response in gaza? >> i think because we have a foot hold here we have this relationship that we have stood up to the iraqi government. i think the president was definitely very pained by having to do this, seeing the situation, but again, i think based upon our relationship with iraq and our relationship with the kurds said it's time to get involved with this at this point to do what we can to change the situation mike lions, thank you. it's a pleasure to have you here and, mexico is home to one of the world's richest men but it also has serious poverty problems. since taking office, the

president declared a national campaign to end hunger. al jazeera's rachelel levin traveled to one of the poorest state to find out if he is actually succeeding. >> it's a good day for julie and her family. today, floods afford to buy rice, vegetables and beans to make a soup. often, they are forced to survive on just tortillas or go to bed hung rye. a single mother, she earns just $5 a week making sombreros and gets another 10 from the government in assistance. like most people who live in these remote villas, she struggles to support her family. >> my kids are not well nourished because they lack things like meat and fish. we can't afford to buy meat because it's so expensive. >> this is one of the poorest communities in the state where chronic malnutrition and hunger are common. more than 70% of the people living in ou achua live in extreme poverty lacking food,

water, education and healthcare. president enrique peneto promised to help them when he announced what he called was a national crusade against hunger back in july, 2013. >> this isn't just a priority for my government but rather the most important thing we can do to improve and end hunger in mexico. >> as a result of that action, his government claims that 3 million people are, in their words, eating better. >> ouchuca is the third apart pourest state. while the government claims it's having success, some question how much. charities are questioning where the government gets the 3 million figure from. so far, it's failed to produce any evidence to back it up. critics say the initiative isn't new but jut a continuation of past ones and, in fact, fewer people are enrolled. >> from the beginning, the government has insisted the 7

million people suffer from malnourishment or hunger but the real number could be as high as 22 million. how can we analyze and compare the results? the government figures are very suspicious. >> last month, government representatives came to visit juli and her family promising to provide them with much-needed aid. she needs help installing a better irrigation system so she can farm her own vegetables but she is not optimistic. >> they always come, making promises they never keep. they never end up doing what they say they will. >> and that skepticism will continue as long as the government fails to show how its improving the lives of people like julia. al jazeera, ouachua, mexico. >> the nemexican government say that 7 million people suffer from malnourishment. the country also suffers from among the world's highest obesity rates. you are looking live at wakiki beach where it's coming up on 2:30 in the morning in hawaii

where the islands are bracing for their first hurricane in more than 20 years. all right. so let's get another check on the weather and the first tropical storm to hit hawaii in more two decades with eboni dion. >> iselle is a tropical storm moving away from the island kicking up rain. they are expecting an additional two inches of rainfall. grounds are saturated. i saw reports of anywhere from a foot of rain, upwards to a foot and a half. so, rock slides, mudslides will be an issue. here is a look at where our focus or our attention is focused now. hurricane julio. in category 2 with winds up to 100 miles an hour as it tracks off to the west northwest, it looks like the island chain will be spared a direct hit. we will monitor this over the next few days. morgan action back to you. >> all right. thanks so much, eboni. he lost his job over a tweet. a college professor takes to social media to weigh in on the crisis in gaza. what followed is sparking a fiery debate on freedom of speech. plus the centers for disease

control has issued its highest alert as ebola spreads across west africa. al jazeera goes inside the cdc's emergency operations center as doctors here in the u.s. brace for the slightest signs of the virus.

>> al jazeera america >> this is the very tail section it was burning when we got here >> unbiased reporting... >> the violence has continued >> the violence has continued just a couple of miles from here >> in depth coverage... >> we've got a military escort allowing us to feel a further than everyone else... >> real global perspective >> this was clearly an attack against them... >> from around the world, to the issues right here at home >> ...shouldn't been brought here in the first place... >> we're not here to take over >> real stories... real people... real understanding... >> where you scared when you hear the bombs? >> al jazeera america real...

news... >> tonight. gaza, experience what it's like on the ground, first hand, as our crew gets caught in the chaos. the reality of war. shujayea: massacre at dawn. tonight, 10:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. good morning to you. welcome back to "al jazeera america" live from new york. i am morgan radford. these are our top stories. one of the american ebola patients is speaking out for the first time. dr. kent brantly released a statement saying his strengths is now returning. american fight ter jets strike islamic state forces in northern iraq. it has hit several artillery units and dropped off food and water to thousands of refugees. the israel military said it hit

over 30 targets overnight in gads all in response to 70 rockets fired at them. the renewed violence follows the end of a three-day truce. america's hartland, the conflict in gaza is creating quite the controverts see. at the center of the debate is whether the university of illinois rescinded an offer for a job offer to a profitsor for his political speech. >> as the body counts in gaza rose over the past few weeks, the next grew more charged. like this one sent out on july 19th. at this point, if netanyahu and on t.v. with a necklace made from the teeth of pal stipian children, would anyone be surprised? he was set to begin a tenure's professor shear at the department of american indian studies. the chancellor plucked thepointment. he said it's a personnel matter and wouldn't comment. many on campus belief his tweets cost him the job. he has an active twitter [ happens been silence since

august march 2nd. he did not respond to our people and phone requests for an interview. his views on the mid east conflict, his criticism of the state of israel and zinism can hardly be called a secret. he has written 6 books on the subject including a 2011 publication entitleditsisi dead soul. >> professor kerry nelson has written extensively in support of the chancellor's decision. >> i think his tweeting has become aggressive. there is sometimes a kind of invocation of violence there. he is seen at times to step over the line into what some people feel is anti-semitism. >> there has been support for salita, an olive petition demanding the university reverse its scandalous firing has garnerred 11,000 signatures. the american association of professors illinois comet said if his job offer was voided due to tweets, that would be a clear violation of professor salita

salita's academic freedom and e aaffront to free speech. >> this is a growing tend to silence debate particularly about israel and palestine. i think it's absolutely essential in this particular case to recognize that steven salita is not alone nelson says there is a difference between protecting the academic freedom and what's acceptable from a job candidate. >> en though much of this would be protected by academic freedom, you are not required to give someone a job if you don't think they are really going to work well in the community. >> for now, salita appears to be a professor without a classroom. usher kareshi, champaign, illinois. >> presidential hopefuls in turkey are making final pitches to voters. citizens of they will decide who will be the country's next president. jamal is live for us in konia.

united states "the busy scene there behind you. of course, a historic day. tell us a little bit about what's going on right now. >> reporter: despite the heat t people have come out in the thousands. the frontrunner, erdowan, i will give you a sense of the atmosphere here essentially, this is the first time in turkish history that the people are given a chance to directly elect the president. those who are gathered here today are not only for erdowan but for his famiparty, the perr that has been in power for over a decade. no decade, you have seen a tremendous improvement in turkey's economy, infrastructure. you have something like 99 universities that were built in the past f10 years. education was made free, free

healthcare. roads were built and so forth. it is really those bread and butter issues that won erdowan so much popularity as well as his party. however, he isn't without critics who say that as the years have gone by and as he has become more and more popular and consolidated hi power, he has become more thor tearian. he his response is those curbing of freedoms were necessary because they were not curbing freedom as much as it was an attempt to defend the nation against foreign conspiracies, as he says. what's not lost on these rallies and it's important to mention to our viewers, morgan, is the internationalist tone to them. their palestinian flags here speakers talk about the plight of those in syria and iraq and other places. erdowan is not only a popular but controversial figure across

the middle east, across the region. the domestic policies are just as important as his foreign policies. targets go to the polls tomorrow in are going to be significant and historic poll indeed. >> jamal, what's interesting is that you are saying these are all erdowan supporters because of what he has done for the economy and universities. but is there anything about his personal profile that is attracting these supporters? if so, who is his biggest rival? >> you heard the first hal of the question. i am going to assume you are talking about his program post presidency. his program post presidency we spoke to his head of culture.

>> they go through refer endums and popular votes. they are things the people want in order to create what they call the birth of a second republic. number 3 comes through the international continued role or prominence of teshiurkey in the international sphere. he has three promises. whether he will be able to achieve them, we will wait to see the results tomorrow. >> we will be watching closely. al jazeera live in turkey. thank you for being with us. stay dool in the heat. the world health organization has declared the ebola outbreak a global crisis. more than 1,000 people have died so far.

now, the u.s. is buckling down to prevent the deadly disease from spreading right here at home. al jazeera's robert ray takes us on an inside look at the cdc emergency operations center. >> reporter: as the ebola virus spreads, the centers for disease control in atlanta has issued their highest alert, level 1. inside the cdc, there is an emergency operations center. it's rarely activated. when it is, it means the situation is dangerous. the sign of thes here are monitoring the west african ebola outbreak and planning their nest move to help stop the infections. >> how is it? >> this virus is only transmitted person to person. the way to stop the outbreak is to interrupt these chains of transmission from one person to the next. >> right. >> that involves identifying cases, getting them into isolation and treatment.

>> but this shows where ebola is affecting here in west africa. easier said than done. the cdc compares this to a marathon with unprecedented obstacles. it's work has only just begun. >> there is reports over there of citizens not going in to hospitals because they think it's unsafe. some feel like they are being lied to. some are leaving bodies on the streets. how do you guys change that? >> one of the real challenges here is this health communication, health education component of this to get people to trust the messaging and comply. it's not just developing the message but finding the trusted person whether it's a village elder, a religious leader, somebody who can deliver that message in a form where people will believe it and accept it and act on our recommendations. the center has sent 2 dozen

scientistsists in the past week. another 50 infectious disease specialists. >> is 50 people enough. >> our 50 people alone is not enough to solve this problem. we are working in coordination with our other partners. the world health organization, who, is providing the overall coordination. >> imagine having to work in this rubber suit with this isolation helmet in high temperatures in west africa being around ebola infected patients. it's not an easy task for the workers of the cdc. there needs to be more aid according to them and more bodies on the ground. >> they are also stressing that there is no health risk here in the united states. it's goal for the i hope ed countries after the spread is halted is to leave behind a strong empa structure. >> so that they could be better prepared the next time to boat detect the unusual situation and to respond to it more quickly so it doesn't get to be the out of control situation that we are experiencing today. >> going to take a lot of money and a lot of health

professionals, a lot of scientists on the ground. right? >> so it's part of the president's budget, there is some money that has been asked for, specifically for what we call global health security. we see this as an investment globally in develop this capacity in other countries so that they are prepared. >> the world health organization is calling a panel of medical oath cysts to meet next week to debate using experimental treatments including z map, experimental serum used on the two medical missionaries now under going treatment here in atlanta. >> all right. well, for more on that, dr. dafshing is an assistant professor at the new york school university of medicine. thank you for being with us? >> thanks for having me. good to see you. >> if ebola is an international crisis, why isn't this experimental vmap drug used on these two americans being used in africa? >> there are a couple of questions. it's not clear if it's actually effective.

you don't want to take something that doesn't work that might be dangerous and use it on such a large group of people. i mean i think that it is worth taking a look. what do they have to lose if the fatality rate is 60 to 90% and these people seem to be improving whether it's because of the drug or not, it's not clear. at least it hasn't harmed them. i think it makes sense to do it. some people object, also, because they feel like because of our history, first of all, you know, we have experimented or done medical experiments on people who are minorities or who are poor. some object until there are more studies available. other people feel like, okay. if there is a limited number of doses, one of the problems, that we should reserve that for americans. so that's another controversy. >> which is interesting because the director of the cdc said, hey, look, this thing can be stopped. in fact, let's take a listen. >> we do know how to stop ebola. meticulous case findings, isolation and contact tracing in management. we, with our partners have been able to stop every ebola outbreak to date. i am confident that if we do

what works, we will stop this one, also. but it won't be quick, and it won't be easy. >> how do we end this outbreak? especially since it's the largest ever recorded? >> i agree. i agree with what he said but the think is isolation is kind of difficult because, you know, in the past, these people who are infected were in rural areas. when they recovered, their body figured out how to fight the virus or they died. when they died, you know, pretty soon afterwards, the vitters inside them died. so, it kind of passed. >> that's how the out break passed. in this case, it's spreading to other people. the isolation doesn't really make total sense because if you think about it, we can slow down the pred but let's say you actually started having symptoms of ebola. what you might think at first is, maybe it's some other virus, maybe you ate something else last night that you shouldn't have. you might think that way. then what happens is you have to decide. am i going to the hospital or lock high school in this house or apartment and no go anywhere? very few people will choose to

lock themselves up and be isolated because they might die. the fatality rate is 60 to 90%. if they go to the hospital, they might come in contact with other people. healthcare workers are getting infected. it goes against common sense to stay isolated. most people will go to seek out help, you know. >> dr. davi, thank you. >> thank you. >> citizens of quebec are raising concerns about the fallout from last year's deadly train derailment and explosion. they say they are worried chemicals in the air from that accident m might lead to a rise in cancer raid. some people aren't waiting for lawmakers to act in order to prevent a train accident like this from ever happening again. >> smiths on a late night watch for oil trains monitoring tracks just a few feet from public buildings. >> how many people here? >> 100,000. >> when he found nobody could tell him exactly how many of these trains rolled through town, he organized volunteers for a week-long train watch.

>> everybody seems to be turning their back on this problem. so we feel that we, as citizens, have to do. >> they counted 16 oil trains that week, carrying an estimated 52 million gallons of crude from the baken oil fields of north dac owed a. two years ago, they might have seen a few oil cars mixed in with other cargo. none of these 100-car unit trains with the 1267 placard denoting baken crude sflfrn the first oil train moved in, september 12th. this is a new industry, very new for almost the entire country. >> eric de place admits he would like to stop everything that expand our use of fossil fuels. he sees oil trains as rolling bombs like the one that de-railed and exploded in quebec a year ago. the accident blamed on human error got into town and killed 47 people. >> you are looking at explosive

fuel, not something a small town can deal with and the railroads aren't stepping up to deal with. >> the railroad spokesman said they are stepping up. he called safety and sites bnsf spend okay training and infrastructure and new studier tank cars being phased in. as we speak, an oil train rolls past us through south seattle. >> right now, there is a demand, and we move those products that america demands. >> railroad's hauling baken oil have been ordered by the department of transportation to provide information about how often the big trains run and how much they carry. many states like washington have made that information public over industry objections. >> we don't feel that it's necessary for everybody to know what we are

you've got a real job here today. if i have to tell you what that is, okay, i will tell you. but i want you to pay attention. >> tract side on the train watch, alan schoffler, everett washington. >> telling a heartbreaking story on canvas, how a south korea ian artist is bringing life to a nation that's infamous for secrecy. . >> all right.

shattered first by the death of his mother when he was 4 and then his father by starvation tep years later. an attempt to seek food and money in china saw kim thrown in jail with 22 others. he was one of two to survive. >> i had no one to rely on. i had long parted from my brother. i decided to come to south korea while in prison. when i got out, i had to take care of my body first. i weighed 35 kilograms. >> the exhibition highlighting the plight of north korea's street children is being staged by a campaign group that helps defectors make that i their way. kim works for the organization, forced on to the streets with her mother and sister after the death of her father. >> we went to mountains to cut trees and sell wood in the market. three of us, my mom, my sister and me were all female. there was no ax. we bend it hard on my mom's knee

to break it. >> the issue of homeless children is one that's been associated with the famine of the 1990s. it remains a problem. as was seen last year when 9 former k j.b. tried to dpeekt through laos. they were deported back to china and then to north koreaina where on television, they claimed they had been kidnapped and thanked north korea kia's leader for rescuing them. >> a term of life hard to imagine for chirp in seuol this is to highlight the contrasting face of those born in the north and signature of this divided country. al jazeera. >> author deepak chopra has written a book caugequalled "su brain" and he explains how we can optimize our brains. catch stephanie's full conversation with deepak on "talk toays" today at 5:00 p.m. east he were, two 2:00 p.m.

pacific. you are looking live at wakiki. there it goes. hawaii is bracing for its first hurricane in more than two decades. so, let's get another check on the weather and that first tropical storm with our meteorologist, ebb fee dion. >> i will get to that in a moment. we are watching for stormy weather. hawaii getting in on some rain. we could see our fair share across the midwest as well as the southeast and the threat of ce severe. this will last through the weekend across the southeast as we are dealing with a frontal boundary. not seeing a lot of rainfall. where we have it, small pockets of heavy rainfall moving across alabama into atlanta. it will be another rough day. here into nebraska and kansas, we will have to watch out for wind and hail. here is a look at some of the rain from tropical storm iselle. it has weakened. it will continue to move to the west. we will gradually see the rain coming to an end. already reports of up to a half

a foot and a foot and a half of rainfall. so a lot of rain, grounds are saturated. power outages and mudslides. we continue to deal with that as we go through the day today as we are expecting an additional two inches of rainfall but it's said and done. around the big island, it looks like spot tarrant county showers is all this moisture continues to pull off to the west. for now, it looks like we will eventually see gradually improving conditions and julio back off to the east and it should track further north of those islands. >> thanks. a follow-up to a story we brought you earlier this year, for the first time in five years, a group of cuban students were granted visas to study in the united states. crist each a prigue met up with one of the students to see how his life is changed. >> two months ago, san miguel molina made a decision that would turn his life upsidedown. he decided to dprefkt his native cuba. >> the main reason i stayed in miami is because i lost everything in cuba and my life is in danger. >> since june 11th, the

20-year-old student has been living in a small aust ear room after refusing to remain home. >> my father is in prison right now. i would probably have the same fate. >> last year, molina says he was thrown out of medical school in cuba because of his opposition to the castro regime. this past jan, he was one of 17 students elected to participate in a historic program at miami dade college. the students were hand picked by the foundations for human rights in cuba to attend the 6-month program. when it was time to return to the island, molina told a member of the foundation he was defective to the u.s. because of the political persecution he faced back home. he says the foundation's reaction surprised him. >> i didn't expect them to take away the keys to my apartment. they took away my cell phone. they cut off notation. it was all very quick. >> the organization basically told him he was on his own. the complexity of his immigration status also preempts him from obtaining a work permit for at least another six months.

>> how have you been able to make ends meet over the last two months? >> one day someone told me they would help me out with rent if i painted their house. another, a woman brought me food. >> molina says he feels abandoned by the organization, the human rights foundation in cuba. >> i was disappointed. i believed in the foundation. in cuba, it was a great institution. the opposition always knew they would back us up. >> miami dade college confirmed three students defected to the u.s. the foundation for human rights in cuba told al jazeera that all participants made a policemening to return to cuba at the end of their courses. these stud incident entered an agreement if this pledge was broken, they would be responsible to reimburse all funds spent on i don't have.
