stargazers watch the room turn red in parts of asia and parts of the americas. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is saying that the united states and u.k. are studying the idea of setting up a buffer zone along the syria-turkey border. the attacks have helped to contain the surge of isil fighters, but the group's changing tactics and changing position, the isil have launched a new offensive from the east of kobane. on wednesday carrying out a suicide attack using a truck bomb in the industrial zone of the militia target.

a curfew has been imposed in southeast of turkey just over the border of kobane. they want turkey to allow more webs, more fighters kurdish fighters, and more to return to turkey. this is what they had to say about that buffer zone. >> michael: the becauser zone is an idea that's been out there. it's worth examining and looking at closely. there are anothe others forced out of kobane. this should not be a problem thrust on lebanon and jordan where they bear an incredible burden with respect to their societies. if syrian citizens can return to

syria and be appropriated in an area across the border, there is a lot that would commend that. but at the same time you would have to guarantee safety. and guarantee attacks by the government. other kinds of things would have to happen. it needs a thorough examination. we're all in favor of looking at this very closely. >> mr. kerry also saying that he expect the role turkey and others will play in the fight against isil. >> these things will have to be done in a thoughtful, careful way so everyone understands who is doing what. i'm absolutely confident that tomorrow discussions will take place directly with ambassador mcgerk and general allen and they're very much involved in

directing those strikes now and doing the framework of the current structure. this is a structure that is evolving on a daily basis, with standing the crisis in kobane, the original targets of our efforts have been command and control centers, the infrastructure. we're trying to deprive the isil of the over all ability to wage this, not just in kobane, but throughout syria and iraq. now to the turkish side of the border. we're sent the very latest for the fight in kobane. they believe they've seized the initiative. they said with the help the

defenses that isil fighters have breached on monday night. isil realizing they're coming up a very motivated and determined opposition. but those fighters in kobane say they still need help. they need more weapons. and they want the turkish authorities to facility or allow the movement across the border between turkey and syria. >> the fight against isil is also taking place not just in syria but iraq. anwe have the latest from baghdad. >> reporter: iraqi security sources say that the helicopter was down killing two pilots. this is the second helicopter that has been down in the last ten days. this one was down using a shoulder fired missile.

the helicopter is seen as an advantage over isil fighters and shooting them down will be iraqi security forces here. let me give you an idea of th thegraphy group. there is an oil refinery. parts of that are in control by the iraqi army. parts are in control by isil forces. also a you also have an isil force who is have occupied the town since june. the ability to knock helicopters out of the sky is seen as a triumph forest. for isil. it's a real concern to security forces, the kinds of equipment that isil are using have been captured from the iraqi army. and that isil are able to use that equipment against the iraqi

army. >> the i liberia man who was diagnosed with ebola has died. he was kept in isolation in a dallas hospital and receiving experimental drugs. so far the virus has received 3400 people across west africa. in fact, an update from white house aids say 3,879 have die 3,879. >> we need more countries to contribute to the ebola centers.

screen people as they come into the united states, and mak making sure that people who come in contact with people who are infected are identified quickly, early. >> the u.k. said it is sending hundreds of troops to sierra leone. more than 750 people will be dispatched with the support ship and helicopters. britain is aiming to supply 700 new beds in treatment facilities. the team will be joining other british engineers who have been in sierra leone operating clinics. she remembers touching her face with a protective glove after treating an infected

priest when he later died. others are being monitored. workers have been protesting against the handling of the outbreak and spain's prime minister is urging calm. >> what i'm asking you is to let the professional do their work. trust the professional. the spanish health system is one of the best in the world. contagion is not easy. direct contact with an infected person in advantage stage is necessary. we need to be careful but remain calm. we'll keep you informed of any news. >> two main thrusts to this ebola story here according to the hospital authorities all but the original nurse, who was infected, has so far proved negative. initial tests on others will b

have another test in the next several hours. hospital management has said after delicately and painstaki painstakingly carefully said she may have touched her face while disrobing from the protective clothing, she believes was the most likely way you can be infected with the ebola, and that moves the story on somewhat because there has been huge anxiety particularly among hospital staff fearful that the protocols in place are simply not strong enough. if it turns out that this nurse simply inadvertently through human error touched her face with an ineffective glove it will go a long way to make sure

that the precautionary measures are in place to protect them. the disinfecting that is going on at the family home of the nurse and her husband. the protests reject to, and animal lovers have been placed at the argumen the apartment block. they have authorized utah euthanizing the family dog. they line up as they prepare to take that dog away. >> michael: kenya's president kenyatte says he should be acquitted. prosecutors admitting that they don't have enough evidence simon mcgregor woods outside of the court in the hague sends us this. >> well, the two-day status hearing here at the icc in

evidence, and that's not the fault of mr. kenyatta they will take several weeks to deliver their verdict. in the meantime, mr. kenn atta is free to go. today on wednesday he was acting in a very presidential manner. >> well, the victors of the violence, they say they want justice for what happened, but many believe that it's too scary to speak out. >> the reaction to the trial here have been mixed. they believe they should not be on file.

amongst the political class, the political elite there is very little support for the icc. critics say that is probably not in their interest to have this kind of accountability when it comes to electoral violence. we've been speaking to people here who say they've advised killings. they say gangs in an organized fashion hacked people to death with machetes. the icc said that kenyatta was behind the violence. and the survivors of the violence say they want justice. they're scared to talk about it. >> stopping palestinian worshipers from going to one of its holist sites. and embracing political party that wants to keep many migrants away from its shores.
