the parliament debate getting underway, what are both sides saying? >> at this point. british prime minister may be preaching to the converted, because the opposition is already saying they will back the vote. he has used strong language describing isil as butchers, terrorists, as psych pattic killers. that is going to set the stage for a vote which will take place in british parliament within a matter of hours for now to launch airstrikes, setting the triggers for birch tornadoes to run off runways likely in cypress to hit target in iraq. >> the question before the house today is how we keep the british people safe from the threat posed by isil, and in particular, what role our armed forces should play in the international coalition to dismantle and ultimately destroy

what president obama has rightly called this network of death. is there a threat to the british people? the answer is yes. >> he's using language that is very soft in the sense that he wants all members of the parliament to come along in this vote, because you'll recall that cameron was defeated a year ago and embarrassed politically on a vote to use troops in syria. he is saying they are not going to go into syria, the airstrikes will take place in iraq. he is saying it is not going to be shock and awe, but will require patience as the situation may last over a year. >> what is the latest in london? >> there are two more arrests by the anti terror police. they took two men from a highway outside london, adding to the nine arrested yesterday, including this hate preacher.

there was not according to british authorities an immediate or imminent threat, but certainly this group has been accused of being a terror group. >> also an arrest in spain and man co, as well. what can you tell us about those? >> that's just broken within the last hour. we're hearing from spanish press and authority nine people have been arrested, eight of them moroccan. they are used of carrying out training. the leader apparently was training his brother who was a former member of the spanish army in an explosive and weapons

effort. >> the coalition is growing as airstrikes continue through the night in syria and iraq. after three days in new york at the united nations of speeches, diplomacy is paying dividends. >> a day after the u.s. and its arab partners struck critical oil refineries in syria that isil uses to finance activities. >> strategic attacks meant to get at the wit ways this group sustains itself. there will be more. >> there were more strikes this morning, two more oil fields. france conduct add round of its own airstrikes in iraq one day after its citizens were killed by an algerian group angry at the french for joining the air campaign against isil. it's a fight the french are considering taking to syria as the airstrikes continue in iraq. that countries prime minister

was at the united nations sounding an alarming allegation, that his government had uncovered a terrorist plot. they planned attacks in the met astros in paris and the u.s., adding from the details i received, yes, it looks credible. after abaddis announcement, patrols were beefed up at public transit. the mayor down played the danger. >> until we have something more specific, we are not in a position to devote additional resources. it's not smart unless we have something more credible. >> a group u.s. intelligence officials call khorasan are involved. thursday, the f.b.i. and pentagon acknowledged they didn't ever intelligence about when or where the group would strike. >> we hit them, and i don't think we need to throw up a dose yea here to prove that these are bad dudes. >> f.b.i. director also revealed his agents think they have

identified the fighter seen in pop began at a videos shown in the beheadings of steven sotloff and james foley. >> certainly the european contingent of the coalition is growing this morning. denmark announced it's going to be joining the coalition. >> how closely is the obama administration watching this debate in the british parliament? do they need their support. >> probably not. obviously the united states can handle it. they have bases all over the region. as a perception issue, it's something else altogether. there's been a great deal of emphasis on the arab portion of the coalition. this is a message that the obama administration is trying to send to the international community, one of unity, of broad unity, including not just traditional allies, but of regional allies. >> imran khan joins us from

baghdad. we are hearing dozens of isil fighters were killed by airstrikes near the syrian border. what more can you tell us? >> all i can tell you is the strike happened quite far down in iraq on the border with syria. this is a border crossing that's been shut since july. there were u.s. and french airstrikes that hit a university compound in that area, killing at least 52 isil fighters and iraq army troops went in. this is the first time we've seen airstrikes this far down, normally they take place between raqqa and mosul, cutting off the major supply route. the iraqis have long maintained the anbar province is one of the strongholds of isil and where you need to take the fight to. it looks like the fight against isil is spreading further in iraq and these are key targets that are hitting this university

compound long seen as a very important stronghold, a command center for isil. >> iraq has been bombarded by weeks for these strikes. how much of a grip does the group still have in the country? >> in anbar province, they still have a massive presence and one of the big problems still control major cities. in the north, they control mosul and parts of other towns in areas there, so there is a big isil presence here. now the americans and the iraq forces have had success, the shows mull dam, et cetera but isil still poses a big threat here. we are waiting for the big ground offensive from occurred issue and iraq troops backed up by the american air forces. that's what we're waiting for

now. >> thank you. >> coming up we'll speak about the isil threat with j.j. green and more on the british debate. >> this morning, the speculation is growing over the next attorney general. eric holder announced thursday he plans to leave the job as soon as his replacement is confirmed. >> we have more on the mixed legacy holder leaves behind. >> i just want to say thank you, eric. thank you from the men and women of the justice department who workday in and out for the american people and we could not be more grateful for everything you've done, not just for me but the administration and the country. >> president obama made history, selecting the first african-american as the nation's top law enforcement officer.

after five and a half years on the job, the 63-year-old holder told the president it's time for him to leave. >> i want to thank you, mr. president, for the opportunity that you gave me to serve and for giving me the great effort honor of my professional life. >> news of holder's decision to step down comes as the justice department is investigating the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager after a confrontation with police in ferguson, missouri. holder made a high profile visit to the community. his tenure as attorney general began on a high note. the former prosecutor and federal judge sailed through confirmation hearings and the full vote in the senate, final tally 75-21 for his appointment. a series of confrontations over a law enforcement fast and furious eroded trust. some accused him of covering up the democratic's role involving

weapons used in killing an agent. >> mr. chairman, would you in form the witness as to the rules of this committee. >> and is too consistent with with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of congress. it's unacceptable and it's shameful. >> no surprise that represent isa issued a tweet calling holder the most divisive u.s. attorney general in modern history. republican senator john cornyn issued a statement saying he had loss of confidence in the attorney general's ability to lead. most of the comments today especially from democrats praised holder's tenure. senator dianne feinstein calling him an outstanding leader of the department of justice where he has upheld the very high standards of this storied institution. president obama has not named a replacement. there is some urgency to get a new attorney general in place. right now he could be confirmed

with 51 votes. if the republicans take the senate in the next election, the president's next nominee is likely to face fierce opposition. >> let's go to lisa stark in washington, d.c. it doesn't take long for the speculation to begin. what are the names that you are hearing being needed about as possible successors to eric hold officer. >> it's a favorite washington parlor game, trying to figure out who is going to replace someone in the cabinet. catherine rem leer left the white house last year. a brief mention he is did he value patrick.

he said it's a really important job but not the right one for me now. there's a number of former and current u.s. attorneys on the list, chief among them is new york's berrara who has taken on terrorism cases and wall street. a lot of names now, the list will be narrowed as the president narrows his list down. >> how soon can we expect a decision on who might replace holder? >> that is the $64,000 question. as randall mentioned, right now, the democrats control the senate. they would have to approve any nomination, so will the president try to get this nomination through in a lame duck congress before the next congress takes effect, especially if republicans take control of the senate? some say he can't do it in that short a time frame, we'll have

to see. eric holder that said he will stay on the job until his replacement is concerned. >> lisa live in washington, d.c., thank you very much. >> coming up, we'll talk with former attorney general alberto gonzalez about holder's time in office and what comes next when you leave behind such a high profile job. >> tensions high in ferguson, missouri this morning despite the police chief's efforts to gain trust with the community. new clashes overnight as he tried to marsh with protestors, some began calling on him to resign. >> all of this came hours after he published an apology to the family of michael brown. critics say that came too late. >> i deeply apologize to the brown family. >> in a video posted thursday, critics of the police chief tom john kerry son got the apology they say they've been waiting for. weeit's since one of his officers shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, michael

brown. >> i'm truly sorry for the loss of your son. i'm also sorry that it took so long to remove michael from the street. >> the shooting ignited weeks of angry protest in ferguson, exposing a community grappling with the racial divide and deep distrust of a police department that is almost all white. residents are calling for charges against the officer. >> none of us would be here if the police chief you put in office would have came forward and said we apologize. this was handled wrong. you know what i'm saying? just give us a minute to conduct our investigation. >> the on line 308 gee was posted by a public relations firm hired by the city. critics of the department and its tactics say it may be too little too late. >> simply sit in front of a camera to in the casual form and put some words out. again, it was -- you can't knock

the effort for wanting to do it, but you can question the motivation and sincerity by it. >> chief jackson's videotaped apology came one day after police chief acknowledged mistakes in handling protestors. in a response to supporters, the ferguson police chief explained why he issued the apology now. >> i have wanted to do this for quite some time. the reason we did a taped statement was because there was a lot i wanted to say and i wanted to make sure that it was clear. it's harder to do these things out in public. he added this is a personal apology made in civilian clothes. the justice department has opened an investigation into the department as a whole. this is the first time police have admitted to making mistakes. whether that will affect the brown shooting won't be known for months. aljazeera. >> there are reports that several people were arrested overnight during those brief clashes between police and

protestors. >> a scolding of sorts from president obama. he says the world needs to do more to fight the deadly ebola outbreak. >> the president did not minutes words. >> they put it in one of those massive conference rooms. that is enough to make you feisty alone. president obama said the aid to help west africa is not flowing in fast enough. the president called the outbreak a growing threat to regional and growing security. without immediate action, he said it could become a humanitarian catastrophe. >> right now, everybody has the best of intentions, but people are not putting in the kinds of resources that are necessary to put a stop to this epidemic. there's still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be. >> the c.d.c. warned a number of

people infected could be more than a million by january. one of those infected was the american dr. rick sacra. he was reds from a nebraska medical center thursday after doctors cleared him of ebola. >> god has used you to restore my life to me. i am so grateful. >> doctors say he was one of three u.s. aid workers infected with ebola in west africa. all survived after being treated here in the u.s., two in atlanta and one in nebraska. thursday congress approved of using left over afghanistan war money to fund the president's billion dollars request to help fight the outbreaks. >> coming up, we will speak to an infectious disease specialist about the ebola outbreak. >> another controversy, thent pro virus spreading.

there are confirmed cases in 38 states. it has sent hundreds of children to the hospital, hundreds in denver alone. doctors are reporting how the virus is infecting adults, as well. no one has died from that outbreak. >> rain brought relief to crews fighting wildfires in the west. >> we turn to nicole mitchell for the answers about that. >> some parts of northern california over an inch, a couple isolated spots two or three-inches and all the large fair areas through the northwest receiving rain. this is the king fire. you can see the mistiness out there. they did get rain nearby lake tahoe california reporting .4. it wasn't really a soaking but enough that firefighters said it helped them hold that came line and allow them to get a few people back into their homes after evacuation. here is where the moisture is now. the crux of the moisture has moved a little more interior, enough that there could be isolated showers over the next

couple days, especially terrain where that moisture has to lift. we could have flash flooding, land slides. haven't seen anything significant that have yet, so that's been really great news as well. the core of this is over the inner mountain west. getting into saturday, watching heavy rain utah into arizona. cooler temperatures behind this, too. that helps with firefighting efforts. even if the moisture is gone. >> you stopped the rains falling on yankee stadium last night. >> we got big kudos for that. >> eric holder ending an embattled tenure as attorney general. >> his legacy far beyond being just the top law enforcement officer in america. our u.s. attorney j.j. green will talk about what holder is going to be remembered for.

>> a woman climbed on to her roof to escape an armed home intruder. >> a controversial new treatment claims to cure common ails with electroshock. some say it does more harm than good. >> $1.5 billion is the big number of the day. >> why in tell is buying a piece of it's chinese rival. on al jazeera america

>> today's big number is $1.5 billion, that's how much in tell is paying for part of a chinese owned computer chip maker. >> that gives them a 20% stake in the group and opens the door to in tell grabbing a bigger share of the mobile device market. in tell wants its chips in 40 million tablets by the end of the year. >> what will the legacy of attorney general holder be? he was the first african-american to hold the position and is stepping down as one of the longest serving attorney generals in history. the president called him the people's lawyer. aljazeera security contributor

j.j. green joins us live from washington, d.c. this morning. we both have known eric holder for two decades, covering the war on drugs in washington in the 1980's. what will his legacy be? >> tenacity, wh humility.

as a young prosecutor and young individual looking at moving through the ranks of the judiciary in the early days. >> yesterday's news conference not without emotion. >> accomplishments that could not have been achieved without the love, support and guidance of two people would not be with me today. my parents nurtured me and my brother with my and made us believe in the value of individual effort and the greatness of this nation. >> one of the things most people don't know about holder is perhaps the most important role he believed he played was that of a husband and as a father of an african-american teenage boy. how did being a father of a blackmail shape him? >> he recognized the

significance of being on the world stage. he knew him being the first african-american attorney general was a huge load to shoulder and that he had to do it correctly. i surmise looking at watching him yesterday during the ceremony in the white house he was reflecting back on him being a small child and his parents not knowing that he would rise to be who he would be, but endeavoring to put him in a position to get there. that's something that's always stuck with him based on conversations i've had with him throughout the years that is something that is of the utmost importance, recognizing and remembering who you are and what you're exhibits and possibilities are in the context of the broader society. you're duty to society, but there's one as well to yourself and your family. >> j.j., i don't want to let you go without talk about the news

conference saying they have i.d.ed that man in the beheading video. >> we've known or at least authorities have known through other means we've learned our receivers in the media who they thought this individual was for a good while. part of the reason why they don't want to say much i'm assuming is that there may be a support network for this individual. there may be the idea of bringing this person to justice in some form, whether it's arresting, capture, killing, whatever, and they don't want to spook people who may be able to take him off the grid, take him essentially away from law enforcement. i think there probably is more of a concern if his name is put out there, he will go underground, they'll lose him and perhaps others. we have tomorrow these folks in the intelligence community are on to things that we have no idea of and there are always

wheels within wheels within wheels that all run in different directions, but all serving the same goal. i think that probably is the reason why they don't want to say too much about this. >> thanks a lot. >> let's get a check of the forecast this weekend. how does it look? >> first weekend of fall is going to be gorgeous in a lot of places. there's exceptions that moisture southward and system moving through the west, the northeast is going to be quiet, watch for heavy rain into the southwest, but temperatures running well above average for a lot of the country, especially the midwest, where we set records yesterday in places, still in the 90's today and tomorrow in the 80's before temperatures drop sunday. a lot of widespread areas in the northern tier of the country, we're starting to see the leaves change a little bit.

if you have that chance to get out, this is a really good weekend to do it. >> nicole, thank you. >> the british role and the fight with isil now debated in london. >> prime minister david cameron speaking to parliament. >> bisi onile-ere is live in michigan with a move by president obama that could bring relief to flood victims there. >> number two, derek jeter. >> derek jeter going out in style, how else would it be? his final game at yankee stadium, and he was the hero. >> barbra streisand going out in style, doing something no other singer has done before. the historic success of her new album.

>> the legal certainty is a discussion you'll have to have. >> taking a live look at british parliament, discussing whether britain should get more involved militarily, participating in strikes in iraq. good morning, welcome to al jazeera america. an experimental treatment some say could cure depression and help you lose weight. critics say it's nothing more than electrochemotherapy. >> president obama said we are not doing enough to stop the spread of ebola. >> we'll hear from an aljazeera colleague who was jailed in egypt. his story and the new calls to get three aljazeera journalists out of prison. >> the attorney general eric holder stepping down as soon as a replacement for him is confirmed. he was one of the longest serving attorney generals in

history and one of the last remaining members of the president obama's original cabinet. >> clashes in ferguson, missouri after the police chief apologized to michael brown's family. some question his sincerity and call on him to resign. >> the coalition fighting isil in iraq is growing, denmark agreeing to send f15 fighters. >> relief is on the way in michigan cleaning up from massive flooding last month. president obama declared a disaster in the state thursday, opening the door to federal funding. bisi onile-ere joins us live. good morning. officials said the flood damage totals more than $1.1 billion. where will the aid go first? >> good morning, stephanie. that aid will first go to some of the hardest hit areas in metro detroit. millions of dollars will be made

available. that help will come in many forms, such as grants and loans for temporary housing. residents and businesses will have 60 days to apply for this aid. when those storms hit and caused that historic flooding, the damage was extensive to many parts of the area. many residents suffered significant damage. some people lost their homes. as you can imagine, there is a sense of relief that federal funding is on the way. >> how has the community been doing in the wake of all this flooding? it took several weeks for many communities such as this one, huntington woods, to get back on it's feet, for the most part, things look back to normal, but it's once you go inside some of these homes and you can see some of the water damage and unfortunately a lot of people are dealing with black mold. >> the state is cash strapped,

the bankruptcy case still going on. how has this natural disaster affected michigan's economy? >> no real indication as of yet just how hard this area was hit financially, but over the past couple of weeks, we have heard from the number of mayors in some of these cities who were belaiding with the governor here and then the governor in turn pleading, you know, to washington to send some financial help this way. i think there are fears that some of these communities can't take the brunt of the damage and the cost. >> thank you. >> the suspect in the disappearance of a missing college student could be extra dated back to virginia today. jesse matthew was arrested in texas for abducting hanna graham. she has been missing for two weeks. authorities revealed that he was questioned in connection with an

alleged assault in 2002, but no charges were filed. >> residents in alaska cleaning up after a 60.2 quake knocked things off shelves and caused people to take cover. there were no reports of major damage. alaska is the most seismically active state. >> a woman pulled up to a valet. seven people were injured during a getaway. he was arrested late wednesday night. >> this is a photo of a terrified california woman this week. she climbed to the roof after she heard someone breaking into her home. the woman was seen curled up underneath a window wednesday morning. she had called police from that spot. an officer gets up to her with a

ladder which she uses to get down on roost. the suspect was also led down and arrested. >> the british parliament in the middle of a heated debate about whether to join the airstrikes in iraq. on wednesday, u.k. prime minister david cameron said this at the u.n. >> we must not be so frozen with fear that we don't do anything at all. we have a need to act in our own national interest to protect our people and our society, so it is right that britain should now move to a new phase of action. >> so what are the possibility outcomes from this parliament meeting today? >> it's always been kind of predetermined. in fact, there's going to be a

seven hour debate today in which all the arguments will be rehearsed in great detail. when it comes to the vote around about lunch time in the u.s., we already know the answer. there's going to be a vote to allow britain to take part in airstrikes in northern iraq. that will also specifically say that there is not permission for britain to join airstrikes in syria. that's been one of the contentious parts. that's something hammered out before the debate got started today. >> two weeks ago, isil murdered a british aid worker. in the u.s., the beheading of two americans impacted support for the u.s. and military action. is that the case in the u.k.? >> it is the case, yes. a poll came out last night that said now that more than 50% of people are in favor of airstrikes. you have to say that's still

quite low and really does go to show the kind of depth of hatred of military intervention that has gripped this country ever since the 2003 invasion of iraq. a lot of people in britain still feel as though they were betrayed by the british prime minister tony blare who a lot of people here think just went he along with what the americans wished and desired to provide them with some sort of p.r. cover. it's going to take a long time before british people are kind of willing to see their country get involved in these things again. it's not like america, where there's a sense of responsibility as a world policeman figure. in britain, we kind of thing well, it doesn't make much difference if we get involved or not, so it's a question of taste rather than a question of global urgency. >> some say the brits have a lot more at stake in this fight than the u.s. i'm curious why it took this long to convene an emergency session of parliament and whether the scottish referendum last week played into this.

>> to some extent, there was a hangover from the scottish referendum in that the 2003 war that iraq was so unpopular and one of the main things that people in scotland used as a kind of campaign to break away from london government. they said look at the iraq war. people in scotland didn't want the war in iraq and yet the london government committed us to it. there was some part of that, they didn't want to get that involved in all of the complicated arguments of the scottish referendum. more importantly, what david cameron, the british prime minister learned in fact was more recent than that. last year, when he in a phone conversation told barack obama that he would be alongside the u.s. in carrying out airstrikes against the assad regime in syria briefed the newspapers saying we were going to take part. he rushed and recalled parliament and said there had to be an emergency vote and he lost

the vote. that was a humiliating setback for him. he hasn't considered that he had to make sure that the politicians would go along -- >> a lot of people say that did affect the u.s. congress as well, that vote. thank you so much. >> overnight in afghanistan, the taliban killed 12 civilians all from one family about 150 miles from kabul. they torched 50 homes and attacked security force there is. the fighting in afghanistan has been going on for a week. >> the state department issued a travel warning on yemen because of civil unrest. the u.s. is ordering government workers to leave the country. sectarian clashes in yemen have left rebels north of the city in control.

>> we're taking a closer look this morning at the brain and its healing potential. a controversial new therapy uses electricity to improve mobility, treat depression and even help people lose weight. >> on techno, the treatment is in action. here's a preview. >> i'm going to check the brain. >> in dozens of clinical trials around the world, a new technique called tdcs, transcranial direct stimulation is studied for affects in treating illnesses involving brain function. >> when people do it, they put the electrodes in different locations on the head. that is very intentional. you might deliver it to motor reaches if you're dealing with a population that had a stroke. >> at the rehabilitation center, an ongoing study is studying to see if stroke patients can benefit. >> during the brain stimulation

portion, did you feel anything? >> there was a slight warmth aba little tingle and that's about it. >> you felt it on your skin. did you feel anything inside your brain, inside your mind? >> no, i was looking for something like that, but no, never happened. >> patients under go 20 minutes, followed by robotic physical therapy. a robotic device engages the patient's muscles, in this case by playing a kind of video game. >> did you feel like that worked? >> whatever i can't do, then it takes over and gets you there, but i try to do as much as i can on my own. >> dr. dylan edwards is heading up the study. >> the brain is in a heightened state and we think this is going to have more impact. >> the study is blind, meaning some patients get tdcs while others get a placebo, a sham

stimulation. >> do you feel there was a difference? >> yes, there was a distinct difference in the sensation and use of my arm. >> joining us now is crystal dellworth. what is different from traditional electroshock therapy? >> electroshock therapy sounds scary, but this is not a whole brain stimulation. it's low levels of current and very directed toward specific brain areas. what you don't want is to induce a seizure and that's what you're trying to do with electroshock therapy. >> do we know whether there is proof that it works? >> there is a growing body of evidence that this is an effective therapy for certain

indications. we saw techno really explored the work going on with stroke patients. that's really exciting, but it's being applied in many different ways. >> it's still considered experimental? absolutely, it is definitely still experimental. >> you spoke with people trying to replicate it at home? how do they do that. >> there's a whole group of people that are not waiting for the clinical evidence to come in and they want this now, and they're applying it, they are making these kits at home in their garages and using it for everything from therapy after motorcycle accidents to just increasing response time when they're playing video games. >> thanks for being with us this morning. >> for more about do-it-yourself brain hacking, be sure to watch the latest episode of techno right here on aljazeera america. >> nascar driver tony stewart has spoken for the first time

since being cleared in the death of another driver, stewart telling the associated press the accident was 100% an accident. this week a grand jury decided not to file charges in the death of kevin ward, jr. ward walked on to the sprint car track to confront stewart after a crash. >> this is a story they're going to be talking about for a long time, derek jeter taken to the field for his final home game. >> what a final game it was. take a look at the cover of the new york post, rich reads jeter goes out a winner. we recap his beautiful night in the bronx. >> it was also a beautiful night for the millions of fans who love derek jeter. he left them with a memory to cherish in his yankee stadium finale. >> now battings for yankees, number two, derek jeter. >> first inning, first at-bat,

jeter logs an r.b.i. double off the outfield wall. third inning, a vintage jeter catch and flip to second for the double play. then came the ninth inning, in a tied ballgame, the story book ending became complete with the winning run on base. >> base hit to right field! here comes richardson! here's the throw from markakis! derek jeter ends his final game with a walk off single! derek jeter where fantasy becomes reality! >> derek jeter goes out a winner. afterwards, he right field on his career. >> i wouldn't change anything about it. i wouldn't trade places with anyone that has ever played this game, because this is exactly what i dreamed of doing and everything i've been able to do is more than i've ever dreamed. >> jeter has three games left to play this weekend in boston, but he says he's played his last

game at shortstop, the position he held 20 years. he said he wanted his last view from shortstop to be of yankee stadium. >> i think a lot of people are going to remember their last look at derek jeter at yankee stadium, as well. >> he deserved that finale. >> he did. >> let's look at other stories. new york police are trying to track down two masked men who threatened a family and their 1-year-old baby. the robbers pointed the gun at the child, so the ynpd released the surveillance video showing the crime. the family says the robbers threatened to take the boy if they did not comply. >> steveer win's son is a chip off the block. he had an up close endon't you are with a crocodile in the same place his dad once held him when he was feeding the crock. the daily mail has the images. the 10-year-old was feeding the crock when it got a little too close. a handler was by his side to make sure things didn't go bad.

er win died after being stung by a stingray. >> barbra streisand with her new album called partners, debuted at number one. she has had a number one album in every one of six decades. her first was 50 years ago, if you recall. >> i don't remember that. >> 1964, called people. >> i heard a lot about that decade. >> another american doctor cured of ebola. >> he is released from the hospital on the same day president obama said not enough is being down stop the deadly disease. we'll talk about the on going effort to stop ebola's spread. >> detecting cancer may be better done from the eyes of a shrimp. what it is able to see is one of today's discoveries.

northern tear running above average. the only place a little below is into texas and into the southwest where it tends to run on the warm side anyway. precipitation, the one place we'd love to see more into the northwest, we just had a ban. we've been pretty dry here and above in the south. the northern tier of the country, pretty much on average looks like possible, which means average for snow, as well. back to you guys. >> a touching moment from cincinnati bengal devin stills posting this video. he was heading to his 4-year-old daughter's cancer surgery. >> i'm ready for today, you ready for today? you ready to get this cancer up out you? let's do it. >> that's his little daughter who suffers from pediatric cancer. the six hour surgery was a success. last month, he was cut by the bengals. the team resigned him so he wouldn't lose his health benefits, the bengals donating

>> who do you think that's directed at? who needs to be doing more? >> in particular china, one of the largest economies in the world has not really stepped up in a similar way as the united states, the u.k., france and china, if you spend anytime in sub saharan africa, you realize chinese are everywhere, but haven't stepped unin their response to ebola. the u.s. is deploying some of the 3,000 troops it sent. how much impact will their presence have on the situation? >> the first phase here and this is really what the troops are doing is build ebola treatment units. they don't have enough hospital beds, patients are dying in the doors of the hospital or in their communities at home. that's the first step. once you have treatment units, it's not necessarily the troops that staff them. we need health care workers to

come forward and volunteer. >> why aren't there enough health care workers there. is a fear factor? >> that is a part, but one, you need to get training. the c.d.c. is finally beginning training sessions beginning in october and for the next couple months. you need to get time off work, six plus weeks and then you need another 21 days when you're in isolation and can't see patients. for me, as a practicing physician, that's a big commitment. you need an employer to allow that. >> the c.d.c. said there could be up to a million cases by the end of the year. >> i don't think we'll see that if we don't do anything. we are starting to do something. i do think we're going to see tens of hundreds of thousands of deaths before this is over. >> thank you so much. >> coming up, we'll talk about isil fighters overseas recruiting kids at home and what

this morning. we are in baghdad but let's begin in london. >> how soon can we expect a decision from parliament? >> very soon, within another matter of hours. they are continuing their debate, but we've already heard from the opposition leader here. his party will support airstrikes in iraq, not airstrikes in syria, but only in iraq. that is the proposal by prime minister cameron to only start with airstrikes in iraq, although he said that probably a case could be made for them to expand that at some point to syria, but not without going back to parliament. ical ron used very strong language this morning referencing isil, calling them psych poetic killers and butchers and said they represent a direct threat to the united kingdom. >> there is a part of this that does require a military solution. isil still has to be defeated on

the ground, principally the iraq security forces, but we can play a role, as well. >> prime minister cameron making his case for why the coalition should be part of striking isil. parliament is voting today. >> they've called on everyone who supports them to kill unbelievers and they're killing christians and sunni, moderate noon knees and shias and kurds, and that quite frankly is genocide. >> an estimated 3,000 europeans have joined isil, many brits. the f.b.i. announced it identified jihadi john, but refused to reveal his name or nationality. u.k. officials ever said the isil member believed to be involved in the beheading of american journalist james foley and steve sotloff appears to be

british. nine men were arrested in london, two more arrested today. among them, a radical preacher. he is the supporter of isil's efforts to create a caliphate and has promoted sharia law inning granted and the u.s. he called for retaliation against the air strike campaign in iraq and syria, leading to concerns of attacks in britain and the u.s. >> is there a threat to the british people? the answer is yes. isil already murdered one british hostage and threatens the lives of two more. >> not everyone in britain supports the isil airstrikes. anti war protestors gathered outside downing street in london to have their opinions heard. >> i think the british involvement is a figure leaf to support the u.s. involvement. it is not necessary and they know that. >> cameron has been very careful to say that this will not be a shack and occam pain, stealing

some of the language used in the first gulf war. he said that this will take years in fact, the bombing campaign in iraq will take patience and persistence. they will not use their army, this is strictly an r.f. operation. >> what can you tell us about the arrests that took place in north africa and london today? >> there were two more arrests in london of two men stopped on a british motor way connected to the group of nine arrested yesterday, including the preacher. in spain, they took place in north africa on the spanish enclave there, the main border crossing. they say that the leader of the group, a cell that is connected to isil trained with al-qaeda, the leader that have group is spanish and the eight others moroccan and trained with a

weapons expert, clodding an explosives expert. very significant. you're seeing pressure in england and throughout europe on anyone associated with this group because of fear of terror attacks possibly being carried out in retaliation for the airstrikes somewhere in europe. back to you. >> live in london, thank you very much. the u.s. is getting help battling isil as more and more allies are adding air support over iraq. >> mike viqueira joins us now. good morning. it seems president obama called for international assistance are being heeded by denmark. >> diplomacy a success thus far for the obama administration. president obama and various leaders we just heard from in london are stressing the fact that this is a long term project and there's no question bit. despite the apparent military success initially in the first few days here, the arab campaign in skies over syria, it's been going on in iraq for several weeks prior to that.

it is still a long term project, and as a matter of fact, the pentagon cannot at this point say what the military impact has been on isil's capabilities. they are still assessing. even going after the tooth and tail, in iraq the weapons systems, the forwardly deployed equipment and material that isil has deployed there. in syria they're going after command and control, logistics, those oil refineries, striking isil's ability to race revenue and fund their operation. >> tell us about the subway threat that iraq was claiming that isil was going to attack subway systems in new york or paris. >> it's sort of a snowball effect, adding to worldwide anxiety. tuesday, we heard for the first time about the khorasan group plotting against the american

homeland, and you also there is controversy over however they were. there was a warning of lone wolfe attacks. prime minister abaddi, an individual from iraq whom the administration happen promoting as sort of the solution to the sectarian strife that has in part led to isil's rapid spans said that his intelligence services uncovered a plot to bomb metros in paris and the united states. >> thank you so much. >> let's go to baghdad this morning. we are hearing of a massive air strike that killed dozens of isil fighters near the syrian border. what can you tell us about that? >> the airstrikes took place early friday morning. they took place near the border crossing with syria and iraq. there was a university compound

struck by french and u.s. airstrikes and then the iraq army went in and cleared the rest of the area. 52 isil fighters were killed. we normally see them try to cut off the supply group between raqqa and syria. this is as far west as they come. this will be a big boost for the iraqis. it is one of the strongholds of isil. if you need to beat them in iraq, anbar province is a place you need to con centrist on. >> the british prime minister said this is not going to be shock and awe but after all the attacks going on, how much of a grip does isil still hold in the country.

>> they still control harm parts of anbar province. these are very difficult places to hit with airstrikes. these are heavily populated with civilians, also the supply routes. some places are still open. wherever there are airstrikes, they disappear into the towns and villages. it's going to be difficult just to beat them with airstrikes. you will need the iraqi force to say help on the ground here. the iraqi forces long maintained they need to be upgraded with better weapons and training. more importantly, they need intelligence gathering. that's really what the iraqis are asking for, much more from the drones to help them with intelligence gathering. >> president obama's point man on civil rights is stepping down. eric holder will be resigning as

one of the longest serving attorney generals in history as soon as the president announces his replacement. >> everyone this morning is talking about holder's legacy. >> it's kind of a mixed legacy. he gets high marks from some for taking on racial discrimination and the justice system trying to uphold gay rights and civil rights. some conservative republicans called him a political hack. even some liberal groups haven't been happy with him. he has prosecuted journalists for publishing leaked information. i would say that he's been quite a lightning rod during his tenure. >> eric holder, the first african-american to serve at attorney general said it's time for him to leave. >> i want to thank you, mr. president for the opportunity that you gave me to serve and for giving me the greatest honor of my professional life. >> president obama called him the people's lawyer. >> he believes as i do that

justice is not just an abstract theory. it's a living and breathing principle. >> the 63-year-old former judge and prosecutor took office in 2009. right from the start, he was controversial. >> in things racial, we have always been and we i believe continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards. >> during his five and a half years as the nation's top cop, he took a leading role in voting rights, gay rights, and civil rights. last month, holder went to ferguson, missouri to promise justice after the shooting death of unarmed black teenager michael brown by a white police officer. >> we want to help as best we can, and we also want to listen. >> another part of his legacy, clashes with some members of congress. he was held in contempt of congress for refusing to turn over documents in the fast and furious gun smuggling scandal. some republicans accused him of

covering up the role of the justice department concerning weapons possibly used in the death of a federal agent. >> characterized something as something else -- >> mr. chairman, would you inform the witness as to the rules of this committee. >> and is too comfort with the way you conduct yourself as a member of congress. it's unacceptable and shameful. >> it was tweeted that he had been the most divisive adjustment attorney general in modern history. senator feinstein called him an outstanding leader of the department of justice. >> i will leave the department of justice, but i will never, i will never leave the work. >> the big question now of course is when the president will nominate someone to replace holder. there is speculation whether he will try to do it with a lame duck congress while democrats are still in control of the senate, because there's talk

republicans could gain control after the mid term elections. that could be too quick. he will hold on until his replacement is in place. >> coming up, we speak with former attorney general alberto gonzalez about holder's time in office and who may fill that position next. >> jesse matthew could be heading back to virginia today, held in texas for the abduction of hanna graham, university of virginia student. he was questioned about an alleged sexual assault in 2002. no charges were filed. >> another flare up in ferguson, missouri. police and protestors clashed overnight as police chief tom jackson began to marsh with the protestors. there were reports that a number of protestors were arrested. this is just hours after jackson posted an apology on line to the family of michael brown.

the in the video, he said i'm sorry for the death of your son and sorry it took so long to remove michael from the street. >> there's a new report out putting more pressure on the nfl, a law enforcement official saying he sent that video of ray rice, seen her punching his then fiancee. the nfl has repeatedly said no one in the league saw those images until that he appeared on tmz. >> he said he's not sure anyone watched the d.v.d. >> let's turn to a nice sports story. >> a man they call the captain left fans a memory to cherish at yankee stadium in new york. >> one last time, derek jeter stepping into the batter's box and with the game on the line, he didn't disappoint. we have what happened next. >> for a city that's had so many wonderful sports moments, the outpouring of love for derek

jeter, this is his 20th and final season as one of the greatest ever new york yankees. fans descended to give the captain a fitting send off. in the end, jeter would give them one more plus performance. >> fans turned out in they're number two jerseys to see one last performance by the yanukovych who's number one in their hearts, derek jeter, and perhaps riding that tical wave of love, he gave fans what they wanted to see. an outfield double. the flip for the double play. the ninth inning, the story book ending became complete with the winning run on base and jeter at the plate. jeter delivers the game-winning r.b.i. in his final yankee stadium at-bat. he said the elation of the moment kept him from tears. >> got a hit to win the game and

i'm happy i did get the hit to win the game. if i didn't, i couldn't tell you what i would doing right now. >> jeter still has three games left to play, road games in boston, the yankees all time great said thursday was the last time you'll see him at his familiar shortstop. >> today was my last game playing shortstop. i want to take something special from yankee stadium, and the view from shortstop here is tonight what i want to take from it. i've lived a dream, i mean, this is, you know, since i was four or five years old, and part of that dream is over now. >> an emotional night for derek and for baseball fans everywhere. derek jeter hasn't just been recognized in his final year, a member of the 3,000 hit club and a clutch player, he often played his best in the biggest moments and recognized a as a true ambassador for the game.

>> solid as a rock. >> much needed rain is bringing relief from wildfires in california. the rain is helping firefighters get an upper hand in some areas. more than 8,000 firefighters are battling two major fires in the state. thanks to the rain, they've been able to contain 55% of them. >> for more on the fire relief, lets turn to nicole mitchell. >> you mentioned the california fires, but as we head up through oregon, even more and then more into washington that have diminished now with the rain. you can see all the recovery efforts that have been going on here, well, place like the king fire, wimp is what this is did receive beneficial rain. i know lake tahoe reported .4 of an inch, the northern parts of california some isolated one or two-inches. we actually have more fires going through oregon where we saw beneficial rain. this has been good news. still enough moisture there, the main band has gone through.

in those burn areas, they don't absorb water well. mudslides, land slides still a risk, although a diminishing one. where this will go into the weekend, into the four corners region, some heavy areas of rain. places like arizona we could see flash flooding as well. it has dropped temperatures down and that even as the moisture moves out helps with the firefight because the vegetation doesn't dry out as quickly. it's a little more comfortable for the firefighters working so hard. >> this is a good thing, ok, nicole mitchell, thank you. >> the crack down on isil continues with more military strikes and the arrest of militants around the world. cedric layton will talk about the next stems the u.s. should be taking fighting the group. >> one u.s. community doing their part to stop isil's spread in america. the steps they're taking to target the terror network. >> thousands of students in hong

kong taking to the streets for voting rights. that video and others captured by citizen journalists around the world.

>> as a father and sink leader,

he is fighting a new threat targeting his children in minneapolis. >> you've got people loaded with money and resources out reaching to our young people. >> he is talking about the islamic state of iraq and the levant. local police more than a dozen people from the area have left to join the group. isil focuses on the state using social media. he started a non-profit organization to show youth there's an alternative. >> education, really fighting

ideology. >> they tarts isolation. >> none of the mothers whose children attend would talk to us on camera. privately, they told me that the battle for their children by isil is intense. >> many students are also warned and can't understand why peers would put their lives at risk. >> they're kids, what do they know about fighting and joining an army. >> other kids my age are doing -- they are my age, just like me and doing like really bad things. >> programs like this operate on under $100,000 a year. it's no match north tens of millions of secret funding for isil. parents fear it is not enough without outside help. >> bring them to justice. give us confidence, the communities are losing confidence. >> it is fearful without more

support, soon more children will be lost. aljazeera, minneapolis. >> it is not the only u.s. city getting involved to try to prevent young kids from getting involved with groups like isil. >> colonel layton, good to see you. >> good to see you stephanie. >> could isil be degraded and destroyed quicker with a different military strategy? >> i think elements of it certainly could be. that gets to the big question of whether or not we have boots on the ground. if you had boots on the ground and they were the right kind of boots in terms of capability, local knowledge, understanding of the people, the culture, it could happen a lot quicker, but i think what we're looking at is really a containment strategy in

spite of the political rhetoric as far as destroying isil and doing thins like that we are looking at containing isil at least in syria at this point. >> reporters on the ground are saying isil fighters are beginning to go underground and hide amid the civilian populations. what does that tell you about the tactical challenges of combating this group? >> they're going to because they've got time and because we're giving them time through a one dimensional campaign that is an air campaign, we are allowing them to go underground. that is a significant shortfall in the strategy. if you want to destroy an organization like isil, you need a multi-facetted approach and that approach should contain several elements of military power as well as elements of the political and social aspects that are so important to really changing the mindset that we're

dealing with. >> should the u.s. be considering arming the syrian kurds who we understand are fighting alongside the free syrian army? >> i certainly would consider it if i were in a policy making position. they have a vested interest in protecting home territory and making sure their families are safe, livelihoods are as secured as they possibly can be. in this case, i would say yes, the free syrian kurds should be looked at. of course you have to look at other aspects, who are they tied to, are there elements that could affect turkey and other members of the free syrian army in a negative way. generally speaking, i think at this juncture, it would be important to arm them and get them on our side to go after the enemy.

>> it is the first weekend of fall. will it be more like summer? are we going to like it or not? >> depends where you are. that's always the answer to that question. anywhere from florida to texas, moisture here. the system will pull into the west. a lot of the country is going to be dry, the whole northern tier, midwest, northeast. here's a bit of moisture i was talking about, especially utah and arizona. watch for flash flooding. a lot of warm other associated with this. we've got ahead of that front funneling up from the midwest. north carolina dakota, 93 degrees yesterday. today, still into the 90's, and even tomorrow, still pretty mild. back to you guys. >> ok, thank you. >> we're following breaking news at this hour out of chick where flights have been halted in and out of chicago, o'hare, midway and local airports. seems a fire broke out at the

regional f.a.a. center in roar da which controls airline activity for the region. employees have been evacuated and told to gather in the parking lot. we are following dellments and we'll bring you more information as it becomes available. >> u.s. led airstrikes continue to target isil fighters. we are live on the ground in iraq with the latest on this new operation against isil. >> attorney general eric holder stepping down as the nation's top cop, the top law enforcement official. the challenges to come with being the head of the justice department. >> the fate of our jailed colleagues in egypt becomes a topic of discussion between president obama and egyptian presidential sisi.

>> lawmakers in british parliament debating whether they should join airstrikes in iraq. welcome to al jazeera america. ahead in our next half hour, saying farewell to the captain. we're talking with a former member of the yanukovych organization about derek jeter and the lasting impact he's had on the game of baseball. >> a terrifying scene for a sky diver, a student nearly plunged to his death after a lesson went wrong. >> the attorney general eric holder stepping down from a position he held for six years. he was one of the longest serving a.g.'s in history. he is leaving the post after a new confirmation. >> jesse matthew is in texas where he was arrested on charges that he arrested hanna graham, missing for two weeks. police are asking for help if

anybody has information to find her. >> the british parliament debating whether or not to join the coalition going after isil, syria and iraq. denmark agreed to add f-16s. new strikes killing dozens of fighters. >> let's go live to baghdad. dozens of isil fighters were killed. do we know who carried out these strikes? >> according to the local sources, it was french and u.s. airstrikes working off intelligence gathered. they hit a university that had long been abandoned and seen as an isil post, at least 52 people being kid on the border which has been put some since 2012 but certainly the region used for getting isil fighters from syria into iraq. this is about as far down as the airstrikes have come so far. they've been concentrated in the

north, cutting off the supply line. this will be a very big boost to the iraqis. they long maintained if you need to beat isil, you need to concentrate in anbar province where the border crossing is. >> the british parliament vote is taking place today. how is that playing out where you are? >> people are wondering exactly what the brits are going to be able to offer. a lot of what we need here in iraq and syria is the upping of ground troops. nobody is talking about ground troops. everybody is talking about airstrikes. airstrikes will only get you so far. you do need ground took place here. the iraq army are able to go into areas. we saw it with the air strike. people want to know will there be an upping of the iraq army, the kurdish forces, will they get the equipment they need to go into places and clear areas.

that's not being discussed at a parliament level in britain. >> the president called him the people's lawyer. >> after six years as attorney general, eric holder is stepping down. he is one of the earliest members of president obama's cabinet. >> >> we have been great colleagues, but the bonds between us are much deeper than that. in good times and in bad, in things personal and in things professional, you have been there for me. i'm proud to call you my friend. >> aljazeera's mike viqueira is back with us now. what's holder's relationship been like with the president and other staffers. >> he is a remarkable figure, given his tenure and relationship to president obama and mrs. obama and their top

advisor from chicago, valerie jarrett, all a tight knit group. given the toxic atmosphere in washington, the relationship he had with congress was especially bad, really angry, volatile, just the back and forth, the snark. >> didn't they find him in contempt. >> found him in contempt of congress over fast and furious. the represents had a lot of problems with him. that's par for the course. finding him in contempt, hearing after hearing, the exchanges back and forth. some on the liberal side had problems with him, as well. feel he wasn't strong enough on corporate crime, coined the phrase too big to jail. he will be seen in the civil rights community as a visionary, almost, someone who is going to achieve as the years go by almost legendary status among those who looked to him as president obama's heat shield on

issues of race. >> fascinating that he hitched his ride to the obama campaign as opposed to the clinton campaign where he worked for bill clinton. moving forward, what about his replacement. >> he'll stay until the senate confirms someone. that could be a while. a lot of thought was given to this in speculation yesterday was that the reason he did this now is there was a chance at a the senate charged with confirming nominees may go republican next year. they only need 51 votes to confirm someone. the logic goes let's do it now. the trouble is congress is gone. they are not coming back until after the election. it's going to be a very contentious nomination process whoever it is. the administration may just roll the dice and wait until after the new congress is seated in january. >> he should not be planning his vacation yet. >> no. >> thanks a lot. >> alberto gonzalez knows about being a former attorney general. he served during the george w.

bush administration and now is dean of the law school in nashville. thanks for being with us this morning. eric holder leaves behind a strong civil rights record including defending gay marriage and voter's rights. what will people remember most? >> that's hard to say. a lot of people today are trying to talk about what that legacy's going to be. from my perspective, it's probably a bit too early to describe his tenure. i think we need to see a lot more unfold. we need to know a lot more about the internal deliberations and decisions, his role in most controversial decisions in the obama administration. it remains to be seen. he was viewed as a hero by many in the country, not by others. like most attorney generals, he stepped into the breach, became controversial. it comes with being the attorney general of the united states. you're involved in most

controversial decisions. when you make a decision, there are winners and losers, people are going to be mad, some happy, and it just comes with the job. >> let's talk about the job an legacy. you told the wall street journal back in december of 2008 and this is a quote, you say for some reason i am portrayed as the one evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. i consider myself a casualty, one of the many cats in the war on terror. how long does it take for history to determine whether you guys get it right? >> that remains to be seen. i think still today personally wonder if the record's been accurately set with the tenure have the entire bush administration. again, it will take some time. they will get a better

perspective on his role. >> when he announced his resignation said he is going to continue his fight for civil rights. >> i will leave the department of justice, but i will never, i will never leave the work. i will continue to serve and try to find ways to make our nation even more true to its founding ideals. >> as a former a.g., are you able to leave that work behind and now that we're talking about legacy, how would you rate him? >> i don't think it's my place, i'm certainly not in a position to rate his place in the history of other a.g.'s, we've had some great ones in this country. i honor his service to the country. i have every reason to believe that he did the very best he could. i can't say i agreed with all his decisions, but he worked for a different president than i did. his legacy is one that is yet to be written. >> critics say he was too soft

on the big banks during the financial crisis and held in contempt for failing to turn over documents from fast and furious. has congress changed too much these days? >> i think that it's too hard to serve in government these days. it shouldn't be this hard for good people to serve. too often, things get politicized in congress. i think one can make an argument that some of what happened during the holder tenure was also based upon politics. that's very unfortunate. the job of the attorney general is so difficult to begin with, and you've got these 105,000 career employees who come to work every day at the department of justice simply to serve the american people and ever the distraction of the politics is very, very unfortunate. it is one of the things that makes the job of being the attorney general of the united states so very difficult, but yet, it is probably the most
