>> good evening we begin tonight with a big development with the u.s. led coalition to fight isil. turkey reese parliament voted to allow military action against the group. the government now has more power to launch operations across it's borders with iraq and syria. but officials say they have no plans to rush into battle. bernard smith has more. >> the legislation passed we the parliament talks about terrorist groups it make as reference to isil, but that's not the only threat. in fact, much of the debate was about the threat from the asaad regime, in syria, and there was also talk about the threat from the kurdish workers party. so turkey doesn't just see this -- the turkish government doesn't just

see this as a fight against isil, it sees it as a fight against what it described as different groups. and as legislation gives the military an awful lot ovulated it means that the military wouldn't necessarily just have to act against the threat from isil, it could act against any terrorist threat as turkey sees it coming from syria, or iraq. the legislation also allowed a very ambiguous reference to form troops being allowed to operates from turkish soil, there is no limit, no suggestion on what those troops take the opposition is not happy with this and also there is a risk that the ruling party support base will not also be happy maybe concerned about the large scale presence if that is the case. of foreign troops on turkish soil. >> bernard smith

reporting from turkey, the united nations is urging iraq to join the criminal court, says isil should be prosecuted for war crimes. the group has targeted ethnic and religious groups. here is a closer look at the path of destruction. nearly 8500 civilians were killed in iraq between january and august, with nearly 16,000 wounded. more than half were killed between june and the end of august when isil seized parts of northern iraq, the number of people who died from lack of food, water, or other medicine is unknown, but 1.8 million people have been forced from their homes. the free syrian army is provided boots on the ground for air strikes by u.s. led coalition. even with recently added air support, they say defeating isil is far from a done deal, as parable of our special series five days of fear. >> in the largest city,

the only place left where children can play is in rubble, created by air strikes. aleppo is the strong hold for fighters allied with the u.s., the fighters need help. >> what will happen on the front line if you don't get more help on the ground? >> isil will advance from the east, and the syrian government will advance from the south, to be honest, the revolution will end within a month. >> 34-year-old leads 1,000 men fighting for control of northern aleppo. they call themselves the fifth he john. their ammunition is in part paid for by the united states. the fighters are trained by the c. immaterial a. cia. they need the u.s., and the u.s. needs them. if isil will be defeated these are the men that have to do it. >> can americans win this fight from the air in. >> never. the air strikes are not

enough. it will not tackle isis. >> these areas are controlled pi the army. >> speaks for all the u.s. backed groups that fight as the free syrian army, he describes how thefsa is fighting simultaneously on two fronts. inside aleppo city, divided with the fsa in the north, the syrian government in the south, and north to the west, isil to the east, all the way to the,ish border. >> i am standing in turkey right now, that is syria right behind me, the town isil took it over in january that's the black flag fluttering about the town center. >> isil is strong, it fights with equipment stole opinion the iraqi army, includes night vision, and. >> thats. >> on the other side, u.s. provides tank missiles it considers trot worth think. right now, the fsa is

outmans and outoned. >> the reality of the revolution is painful, we have no choice but to take support from countries sympathetic with us. >> but supporting the fsa is not without risk, this video shows f, is, a fighter whose left moderate groups to join isil. >> today the fsa says that won't 4578 again, it is now or never. >> isis has all of these weapons the regime has a lot of weapons and aircraft, barrel bombs and now is the time to put more weapons in the righten has. >> not only weapons the fsa says the u. air strikes need to expand and improve. >> have the air strikes helped? >> unformingly, no. because there hasn't been any coordination with the free syrian army, in terms of time, or in terms of place.

what is the condition of people living inside aleppo today. >> 20-year-old abuse omar is an activist, we spoke to him by skype. >> we wake up and pull bodies out from destroyed buildings, life is miserable. >> the u.s. must find and train fighter whose will have to win two separate battles until then, aleppo's mystery will continue. >> nick joins us now on the phone from jerusalem, of course, he has been reporting this week from the turkey border, first of all, let me about you about today's developments how there that help the u.s. in this fight? the most explicit help will be gaping access, at least public access to the bases that turkey that the u.s. has used so basically, u.s. air strikes can come from bases within turkey, and

can go directly to northern syria, which is quite close to to the turkish peaces. that the u.s. has been using. but also the fact that turkey will go against the border, that's quite dramatic, because so many have been fleeing isil advances right near the border, they have been slowing into turkey, we have seen 160,000 of them, the largest exodus in 3 1/2 years of war, and that is saying something, so if they are aggressive and effective, right along the border that will put a lot of pressure. it is no cure all, this is not a silver bullet. it cannot do what a whole coalition will do for the next two years. so it is just simply a major player that the u.s. has been looking for, and wanted to of course not only go after isil but also close the border to foreign fighters. >> nick, when it comes to

fighters what we hear from government is often times much different than people on the ground and that was portrayed in the report you just aired. one of the things is the fact that the u.s. air strikes have not been coordinated with the troops on the ground from the free syrian army, to me that was just startling and the person you spoke to talked about how ineffective they are. >> yeah, it is quite amazing you have a person speaking in english, the spokes american basically for the free syrian army, saying you have to be kidding. why aren't you coordinating with us, if we are the tip on the spear, why can't you giving us coordinates and intelligence, and why aren't you giving us more. the u.s. says these are early days we need to get better at this, and we will coordinate more, but it is yet another example according to members here, and so many syrians i have been speaking to,

another example of how the u.s. is talking a lot about getting rid of asaad, about striking isil and not doing enough of the drowned with these troops with these militias that the summit will need, and make no mistake, they will need these people. reporting from jerusalem, on the on going fight, you can see more of the reporting from turkey tomorrow here on al jazeera america, special report, five days of fear, escape from isil airs at 8:30 and 11:30 p.m. eastern. in texas we have just learned that eight children are being monitors for ebola exposure. they are among 100 or so people that the patient was in contact with before he was quarantined. all of them are now being watched for possible symptoms of the disease, and that includes duncan's family, today a judge ordered four of his

relatives to remain inside their home. last night we placed orders on a family, we did that after balancing many things, we do not intend to have to do that again. but there's nothing more people than keeping you safe. >> earlier i talked with the 16th surgeon general of the united states, and former director of the c. d. c., he explained what kind of contact they are looking for as it traces those people who may have come in contact with the ebola patient. >> contact in terms of that with which we are most concerned, is contact with the bodily fluids of an individual with ebola. or with the surface on which that person may have been in contact, possibly, with fluids. so i think we are first concerns about the possibility that a person was in contact directly or indirectly, with

fluids from the body of a person with ebola. however, if i am told this person has a meeting in a room with 100 people, and i don't know the extend of the contact, then i think all of those people have to be trayed and we have to monitor the extent of the contact. because until somebody with expertise interviewed people, we can't make judgements about the risks that were associated with that. >> the v.c. dr. says it is difficult to contract ebola because of the specifics in which you just spoke about, so do you think there's growing concern -- especially here in america is getting blown out of proportion? or should this be a very serious concern to the every -- to the every day average american? >> well, number one, americans should be reassured that we have the ability to identify and contain ebola in this country, we have the

ability to isolate patients. like the patient in dallas. and we have the ability to make sure we identify people who have had risky contact with that person, and isolate them. so i think when it comes to our public health knowledge, and awareness, we should be reassured p in how, i don't think we should take anything for granted we should be hyper vigilant, if anything, when it comes to not taking chances that show up with fevers that have traveled to the ebola zone, on the one hand, it is possible to blow concern out of proportion, how, it is really critical we not miss the opportunity to prevent the spread. >> right now the only drugs are experiment stall and scarce, the most promising is zmapp. it is made by san diego firm called mat bio pharmaceutical.

the plant produces antibodies that numerallize ebola cells but it is unclear, how effective it is. ebola outbreak in west africa meant thousands of people who hope to go to mecca were denied visas. saudi arabia denied visas to 7,000 muslims. pill games who were allowed were asked to fill out medical screening cards. saudi arabia saying it is also taking precautions. the leader of hong kong, defined pro democracy protestor whose are demanding his resignation. he shrugged off a deadline from the protestors. he says he has no intention of going away. how, he did offer one major concession, a member of his staff will meet with protest leaders.

protestors gather around a loud speaker blasting the speech. just minutes before their deadline for him to resign. but in a surprise move, he call add press conference to announce he will not step down, and they should listen to beijing. >> i appeal, and have been appealing to protestors that we should all follow the basic law within a frame work of the position of the national people's champion. >> he also wanted the protestor whose have been gathering that there will be serious consequences if they try to storm government buildings as some have previously threatened. for the first time since the crack down when riot police you pepper spray, protestors stood meters away from police. loud speeches -- student

leaders addressing crowds emphasized the need for peaceful process, saying they need the public on their side. >> but yaks are already showing in the movement. protestors accusing the government of buying time, blocked the main roads in front of the government building, before being urged by others to calm down. >> if we don't cooperate with each other, or respect each other, than the movement will eventually end by itself. >> how to fight those who are overly adepressive to do what they really want. because we think it may effect what our plans may be, and some of our -- my fellow classmates are trying to stop when they see such actions. >> although there are differences in how these protests should be carried out, what remains

clear is that people here will not leave the entrance to the building. they say they will remain here until the chief executive turns up for work. >> you take another lye look at hong kong it is just before dawn. you can see the protestors on the et sos. they are also causing a blow to the people who rely on tourism to make a living. every day they come by the thousands from mainland china, whether in groups or individually, they make the three hour ride to hong kong for a quick break. one thing for certain, they are not here for the politics, they are here for the shopping. when asked for their views and the demands for free elections most were nonchalant. >> i know there's a protest, and i think they disagree with the elections. everyone has their own opinions, i don't want to

except on who is right or wrong. >> but most mainland chinese capitalism triumphs over democracy. they preper to spend their time in hong kong buying big, but that can soon change. >> the protests has prompted the government to suspend all organized tourists of the territory for about a week, given that mainland visitors make up 75% of the tourist here, it can mean a dependent to the economy, these same visitors can take their valuable dollars to nearby mccaw or taiwan. those who would be most effective by a fall in numbers would be small businesses like these vendors. concerns other the economy has resulted in a push back against the street protests. the blue ribbon movement is being launched mainly by local business owners egg tore change the perception that hong kong has been paralyzed by the

current demonstrations. >> this is not fair to everybody in hong kong, they cannot represent everybody in hong kong. it is a time for the silent majority to come out and say something, because we want to protect hong kong, we don't want to see the streets to be occupied at the same time. >> the blue ribbon campaign is one to point out that they are not against the dend mas of the street protestors. not everybody is joining the campaign. i mean the riots and we want people to know that. no matter what they want, we have to keep the core values. choice, and discussion, and respect. >> it seems like hong kong residents are determined to push for democracy, some are asking at what cost. al jazeera, hong kong. >> as bad as eboal lo can be, it isn't the only disease that has medical

authorities concerned. how researchers are tracking threats that may spread even faster and be alarming eroding tore the u.s. and next, test la wants to sell you a car, but doing that is a more more complicated than you may think.

america's newest car worker is running into big problems. in an al jazeera exclusive, tesla talks about this with america tonight correspondent adam may. >> what's your favorite part of this car. >> what i like is the touch screen. >> it is like driving a spaceship. >> executives are firing back at their competition. in their first t.v. interview about mounting lawsuits test la dearmon o'connell spoke to america tonight. >> we have been mischaracterized and a lot of media, and by some of the el doers associations as trying to

destroy the dealership. and it's been implied if we success, it is arm questioning done, and all sorts of dealers will go out of business. >> to understand this conflict, and how it can shake up the u.s. auto industry, you first need to understand tesla. >> wow, the acceleration. >> i am going almost 80 miles an hour. >> the fully loaded model is a $100,000 modern mall, all electric, no emissions, able to travel 300 miles on a charge. this has to be really fun. >> it is, i love it. i have had the car 16 monos now, i still love driving it every day. >> arthur blake, bought one of the first 10,000 to roll off the line. tesla was the dream, the businessman who made a porch on papal, dreamed of changing the american car. and the way we buy them. direct from the manufacturer.

i am an i.t. guy, so i am comfortable with purchasing things online. that was kind of what elon set out, i want to make a car an electric vehicle, that didn't suck. did he succeed? >> i think he succeeded wildly. i think he even surprised himself as to how well it turned out. >> book unwelcome surprise, a battle with major car dealerships. they want tesla to conform to the traditional model, through independent dealerships. or else. >> t esla has chosen to enter the marketplace, knowingly, and willfully, in violation of the law. >> jim appleton runs the new jersey auto dealers association, another state battles tesla in court. everybody does what is in their interest, everybody does what is in their economic interest.

dealers economic interest is to serve consumers, compete for your business, and carry out your warranty and safety recall services. >> and other dealers say by cutting out the middleman, by cutting out a franchise, you don't have someone to go to bat for you in case there's a problem with the car. >> who helps. >> that's an interesting relationship, arguing it is only dealers in recall situation that will stand up for the customers which is interesting and one that is worth exploring giving the fact if this were the case, it would effect the dealers with g.m. to have raised the red flag. >> you can see more of the report on america tonight, tonight, and every night, 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on al jazeera america. in alaska every year, every year a resident will get $1,800 frequently deposited into their bank account. allen has more from anchorage. >> it is a big day here

in alaska, this is pf d day, the day that permanent fund checks go out to every alaskaian who can prove a years residency, this year, they get $1,884. and it might as well be flat screen t. v. day, at this best buy, they brought in extra product and a lot of these will be flying off the shelves today and this weekend, they are going to be busy. customers in the building it is additional spending power, and cash they wouldn't normally have, so in terms of traffic, we see a lot more people coming in to buy that gadget they have had their eyes on. >> you will see adds for sales all over the place. for car lots for spotting guard stores, they sell a heck of a lot of ski equipment this time of year. 599,000 alaskaians will get a check, or a direct deposit. that's a little more than

$1.9 billion. and 2.8 million of that is already directly going to charity. this is all based on a fund, an investment fund supported by state oil revenues. they have been doing this for 33 years and have handed out 22 billion-dollars from the state of alaska to alaskaians just for being alaskaians. >> coming up, tracking ebola and other deadly diseases. c. d.c. game plan to keep outbreaks from becoming epidemics. and in our deep dive tonight, a look inside the secret service the the challenging of protecting the president, and the first family.

welcome back to al jazeera america. health experts are going to monitor everyone that came into contact with thomas duncan before he was diagnosed with ebola. doctors describe his condition as serious. he came to the u.s. two weeks ago, after traveling to liberia, he was sent home from the hospital by a doctor who failed to recognize his symptoms as ebola. the agency has moved team members to dallas as part of their investigation, all in an effort to prevent a outbreak here in the u.s. robert ray joins us now from the headquarters in atlanta, with more. robert, obviously a very serious condition here with this patient, but also the concern of the c.d. c. trying to stop the spread and limit it right there to the dallas area. >> up deed, michael. remember, this has never happened in the history of the country, there has never been an ebola infected patient here in the united states, where

a perp has flown in and medical officials have said this person has ebola. never happened. so as the c.d.c. is trying to figure out who this person this liberian national has been in contact with, and dallas and surrounding area, they are also playing damage control with americans. trying to tone down the rhetoric and calm the panic. >> for months the centers for disease control has been warning hospitals about the possibility of an ebola infected patient waughing through the doors and some are not surprised that the infection has arrived. >> i do think lit get worse. >> how quickly. >> you know, with the international air travel and things like that, i think of the course of probably the next six to eight months we could potentially see more cases. >> as patient and liberian national thomas eric duncan sits in isolation in dallas, the centers for disease control is on the ground there, doing what it

calls contact tracing. >> what we will see is what i would consider to be classical epidemic deem logical research. you talk to the person, and then you just track everything out, it can be a large number of contacts for any individual. you don't necessarily track down everybody that had just casual contact with the person. because they are not at great risk. >> now the cdc says the contract tracing is perhaps the most important prevention tool. here is how it works. after they isolate contacts people that have been in close contact with someone who has the ebola infection, they monitor them for 21 days. that's the maximum incubation time. they take temperatures daily, they make sure that none of the bodily fluids from that person who is infected actually made their way to a contact. now that is according to doctors the only way that someone can come down with the ebola infection.

i think there's been a underestimation of the emotional response. we have all read books and it is just kind of what we have been waiting for, in our worst nightmare of oh my gosh, a new outbreak of an exotic disease, from far away. >> c. d. c. officials maintain that there is no doubt, ebola will be contained. they say, the best way to protect americans is to provide services in west africa, to stop the spread of the virus. now, michael, you know the cdc afterring up their teleconferences to dry to get information out to calm not only the public but answer the

media and health professionals. earlier today i asks the head as to whether he thought there was a possibility that more people from west africa, that actually know that they have been in contact, with people infected with ebola might get on airplanes and try to come to the u.s., knowing that they would receive the proper kay. he wouldn't quite answer my question in full, but he did say, again, that the key to stopping the spread of ebola not only in west africa but here in the such is to contain it make sure they get the materials and the infrastructure and the doctors to stop the spread of this deadly virus. >> reporting from the headquarters in atlanta, now the presence of ebola in texas has many americans on edge, but enwith it comes to the likelihood of a outbreak, how does it compare to other diseases? jake ward will put all of that into context for us, he joins us now, how do

scientists compare threats posed by different diseases? well, michael, the basic measurement is basic reproductive ratio, and it is basically a single digit, used to evaluate how many secondary infections there can be. that means when you have it, how many other people will you infect. now at the high end is things like whopping cough, which can infection anywhere from 12 to 17 other people. you get to veries can we haven't seen sin 2004, but that can get as many as five ore people sick. now ebola tends to be really low, so that is about one and four people infected for every one person infected. that is why there is such confident that we can

protect in the united states. >> it seem as little simplistic, honestly to me, but there has to be more complicated factors right. >> that is right. and there are, and when you get into those factors it makes the risk of an ebola epidemic every less. we are talking about models systems that they have come up with. the basic ratio is based on a very simplyic idea that we are wandering around at random for a disease to move through us, bewitness aren't like that. there's all kinds of things that change the way that we move around in life, and the way that diseases move through us. well, scientists use sort of network systems. things like traffic pattern systems to model out computer simulations of whole populations. they have done entire cities. this simulation is a traffic transition system.

they use that kind of model to show how it will move. this is where they dewhere to put vaccines so uses that kind of technology, they have created whole sitlation that show us that the social networks of a typical teen will tell you more about how a disease may move through his life. random teenagers he hangs out with, now with an infectious disease you can cough on to somebody else, all of those are at risk, but something with ebola, as soon as you feel it you are going right home, you feel terrible and you go to your house that's the people they will be most worried about, your family connections. so it is this advanced modeling that allowed them to understand how egoal la might spread and how it might happen. >> and maybe the use of that technology is why the c.d. c. feels so certain, they will take this and have it under control height near in america.

jpmorgan chase now says the data breach in june is now much bigger than expected. they thought only 1 million accounts were effected the bank says there is no thad critical information like account or social security numbers were stolen. >> the new head of the secret service is being hailed as the right man to bring safety back to the secret service. in a rare showing of solidarity, he is getting support from both republicans and democrats. he retired from the service after joining back in the 1980's. he was in charge of the elite protect every division, we want to take a deeper do you have on this subject tonight. and joining us to do that, from washington, d.c., is john tomlinson, he was the deputy

assistant director, serving 22 years with the agency, good evening we definitely appreciate you joining us tonight. now, we know that the secret service has strict protocols in place, when protecting the president and the white house, do these warrant a change in your estimation from these protocols? >> clearly they warrant an assessment of what was done well, and what was not. with that being said, changes will be made to the protocols in. >> i wouldn't prejudge the review results. but what i can represent is that i am certain it is going to be thorough, comprehensive, and whatever changes knead to be made will be made there's too much at stake to disregard recommendations or not disposition recommendations.

>> i think if you ask the average american they will say that the secret service is willing to take a bullet to save the president, but beyond that, give us an idea what you go through. what are the rigors of the job day-to-day? >> well, the presidential protection division, and it's not unique, to that detail, but there's shift work involved so the agents rotate among the three shifts. they work four to midnight. there's significant traveling. and that puts you, of course, puts you away from the your family for some times extended periods. for every six weeks you spend on shift work, you spend an additional two in training. the secret service has always maintained that training is a parishble

skill, so you continually need to train to make sure that everything about your performance is the best it can be. now, we know that there were errors made with the fence jumping. but that doesn't -- that doesn't lower the standard. the standard is basically zero tolerance, and that's what the secret service has always subscribed to. >> regardless of your profession, to maintain supreme focus over a long period of time is a difficult task, and if you are secret service, i would assume whenever you are out, you are on extreme mental focus the entire time. could that then lead to some of these lapses that we have seen recently around the white house. >> when you are working long hours or traveling extensive periods of

time, exhausting is too strong a term. but it -- it has an impact on performance, but the secret service is always been a subscribe tore the fact that we need to account for that, and there's different methodologieses that they use to relieve the i would say the comments by some folks in the media, and in the congress. how they do that, is incumbent on the supervisors up to and including the director. >> no question that being a secret service agent is a very difficult task to say the at least. deputy acsis at that particular time former deputy assistant director, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you, michael. >> in today's power politics with only 32 days until the midterm elections the ad campaign willing heating up, and

the organization rock the vote has just released it's latest batch of ads. and kind of entertaining ones. >> yeah, the campaign is called care like crazy, and the whole idea is to try to convince younger people if you don't participate, ore a lot of younger people don't vote, you are giving more power to a lot of older voter whose may not like. for example, there may be this person that works in a golf pro shop, that has interesting views on participation. >> sure voting is a hassle, getting registers and then making time to vote, but between golf clinic lunch at the club, i vote. because only educated people with life experience, should be voting. not kids who think they know everything. laws making it harder for riffraff to vote, absolutely. >> riffraff, how about student whose may be concerned about their student loans. another ad features somebody who played a

banker, watch. >> not going to let a bunch of kids whining about their student loans ruin my business. if you still live in your parents basement, you shouldn't decide our future. two truth is, you really don't matter. they are making the point, you don't matter unless you get out to vote. >> watch this particular ad that features an actor that plays somebody who is buying flowering and planneds but listen carefully. >> i am in the arms manufacturing business, i love to turn on the television and see bombs going off. bombs pay for my lake house. >> pretty good line there. again, the idea if you don't vote, look who move have the power in these elections. >> that's the approach from the rock the vote campaign, what about the g.o. p., what are they trying to put out.

>> so they thought they are being cute, by say yes to the dress craze, which is they have gotten themselves in a little bit of trouble, and see if you can figure out why. the florida governors race, between the incumbent governor, and former governor charlie crist. watch. >> the rick scott is perfect. rick scott is becoming a trusted brand. he is new ideas that don't break your budget. >> but mom has other ideas. >> i like the charlie crist. it's expensive a little outdated but i know best. >> now republicans have long had problems and they still have problems with women voter whose feel like the g. o.p. considers them to be superficial, or the g. o.p. is not in touch with concerns women have, and the problem is well maybe sort of cute and funny, it underscores the perceptions that voters already have about the g.o.p., so college

republicans are under fires for an ad that some of the g. o.p. says is not helping any. >> and it gives the democrats ammunition to use against them on that very issue. >> take a look at other stories making news around america. michael, a tweet has sparked an investigation of the grand jury looking into the ferguson missouri shooting. someone who claims to be a friend of a jury member tweeted the panel does not have enough evidence to indict officer darren wilson for killing teenager michael brown. the tweet has since been deleted, grand jury proceedings are supposed to remain confidentble. confidentble confidential. also, another high school player has died during the game, the third this week. the 16-year-old junior collapsed on the field, and was rushed to a hospital, where he later died the principal said the entire school is in mourning. >> a lot of crying. a lot of hugging.

a lot of questioning a lot of shock. afternoon including the adults in the building are trying to process what happened. >> two other players died last friday one in a game and the other in warmups. in kentucky police arrested someone for the murder of a 12-year-old boy, joseph cameron is accused of stabbing rayth ridge to death. police say there was some kind of physical altercation between the boy and the 21-year-old but wouldn't give details. an abortion battle is brews over a law that is said to go into effect next month. >> pro choice supporters say restricting the use would make abortions more difficult and dangerous, and residents of seattle, may want to think twice when throwing food p haves away. doing it wrong can cost them, the city has a new law that finds homeowners if they toss too much leftover food into the garbage.

the phone is only 1 dollar, but stick big brother is now watching your trash, and officials say seattle cannot be too green who is going to go through the garbage to find out what people have thrown away. well, a severe storm passed through north texas this afternoon. we are looking at live pictures the storm brought hail, high winds and torrential rains. we have seen several structures in the area. now theft left more than 98,000 homes without power, but as of right now, there have been no reports of any injuries or deaths. spill ahead, why some undocumented migrants are turning to the church for sanctuary. and the story of the orphans given weapons and sent to fight in worn torn south sudan. you are watching al jazeera america.

the white house delay on addressing reform. and now some are turning to the church for help. joining us pastor of the west ministry in philadelphia, one of the three faith leaders working with the new movement to provide sanctuary to undocumented

immigrants with deportation orders. thank you for joining us, give us an idea of how this new group is working with these migrants. well, as you said, the migrants are asking the church for help, and what the sanctuary did, along with individuals all other the country, not just churching here, is we are responding to this crisis. so what we are don't is we are providing a safe place for these undocumented folks to have shelter, to be protected the crieses is that over 1,000 people every day are being deported due to the lack of what is happening in washington, d.c. we are dissatisfied and disappointed with the house, with the senate, and with president obama who has the executive power to stop the deportations. so imagine, thousand people every day, these are fathers, mothers, children that are being torn apart.
