>> welcome to the news hour. these are the top stories. >> making gains in kobane, syrian kurdish forces pushing back isil. >> the virus is rampant. oblique assessment at more cases of ebola are reported in west africa. >> at least 20 people killed in a nepal of a charge. >> watching me watch you. reports from inside north korea.

the state won't give up its nuclear program. >> welcome to the program, the u.s. says it has killed hundreds of fighters from the islamic state of iraq and the levant with 40 strikes launched against isil positions. we'll hear from the capitol of baghdad, but first we'll hear from the turkey-syria border. more coalition airstrikes, what is the situation on the ground now? >> we don't think there have been airstrikes in daylight hours today. you can see smoke behind me, fighters from both sides burn

tires, creating smoke screens for them to then move around. we have heard of about five mortars hitting near the border post witness turkey. kurdish fighters saying that was from isil fighters. that's the only activity we've heard from them. the kurds say the airstrikes have allowed them to push back in the south and the east. this is the area where isil had come into kobane from they've pushed back and the kurds have been able to retake ground unopposed from isil fighters. it seems those airstrikes killed isil fighters as the americans have said. those left have apparently been scattered, the isil fighters trying to regroup. >> bernard, you've been talking to kurdish fighters and ordinary people there. do they feel more confident that the tide is turning in their favor? >> what's been going on in kobane for a month now has been watched by kurds on this side of the border closely.

some have been trying to get a vantage point if they're not moved on by the military. others are watching on television in the nearby towns. the mood was one of anger last week that led to deadly protests in turkey. now they feel there is a mood the tide is turning, seeing airstrikes go in, hearing reports from the inside. the kurds say they can now push back. it is calmer here and there is a mood that people feel the tide is turning in their favor. i should caution as the u.s. defense department has cautioned that this time may still fall, the airstrikes may not be enough. >> bernard, thank you. let's gauge reaction from the iraq capital and cross over there. how worried are people about the anbar province? >> there is large amounts of concern from a variety of

people, not just from within anbar province. we are hearing of worry about baghdad. a small town links baghdad. if that town falls to isil, it gives them a base to come and attack baghdad. also, there's real concern that the airstrikes, the coalition airstrikes have distinctly slowed in recent days, allowing isil fighters to continually move around, particularly within anbar province where they control large amounts of the territory there, so lots of real concern about the coalition airstrikes, but particularly about this town, if it falls, it gives isil a base to attack the capital. >> reports today of blasts in the northern part of the city. what have you been hearing there? >> in the last hour, we've heard

there were three parked car bombs that went off in two neighborhoods, the first in northern baghdad and the third one in the city. these are all prehe dominantly shia neighborhoods, nobody has claimed responsibility for these attacks. they follow such a familiar pattern, they go off in the streets as the shops and shopping centers and residential areas that are very busy, designed to cause maximum terror and impact and keep the sectarian pot boiling. it might not be anything to do with the fight against isil. this may be other elements of the sunni rebels taking the fight to the shia militias in order to take revenge on them. there are all sorts of reasons we could see these attacks but follow the all too familiar pattern of going off in the middle of very busy residential areas. >> thank you. >> officials in iraq tightened security around the oil-rich

city of kirkuk to prevent isil fighters from getting in. we joined the iraq police and kurdish forces on one of their patrols. >> the federal police and kurdish security forces cooperate in this corner of iraq. after all, they have a common enemy. they are looking for suspected supporters of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. the general head of the iraq police is leading the operation. he directs his men toward a small village that doesn't just straddal front line in northern iraq, but is at kirkuk's doorstep. >> islamic state of iraq and the levant has said that it intends to push into the city of kirkuk. this security operation is port of ongoing efforts to prevent the armed group from taking over this oil-rich region.

>> isil controls territory less than a kilometer away, using it as a logistics base. it is also a sunni-arab village and many civilians find them receivers caught in the middle of this conflict. some feel falsely targeted, because they are sunni. >> this is not directed against arabs. a terrorist is a terrorist. we don't detain those who are innocent. >> this man explains to the police that he has done nothing wrong, but his face doesn't match the photo on his identification card. he was detained. like these men who are from isil controlled district, they insisted that they left the area a long time ago and denied any links with the armed group, but their names were on a wanted

list of suspects. this is what troops found in one of the homes, uniforms used by the police and kurdish forces. in another house, they found dozens of phone cards. this isil tam melt was in one of the cars. these crackdowns are necessary for security, but they are also causing tensions among iraq's communities. officials deny sunni arabs are being singled out, saying those who are innocent will be released, but for now, the evidence gathered is enough to take these men in for questioning. aljazeera, south of kirkuk city. >> the spread of the ebola view us is rampant in west africa, that is the bleak assessment of the w.h.o. seventy new cases reported in sierra leone every day. the situation is also getting worse in liberia and guinea. we have a report. >> yet another ebola victim is

taken away in a body bag in this chinese run hospital in sierra leone, one of the biggest problems is a lack of awareness. >> many patients almost know nothing about the ebola virus. they often go into the rooms of others once medical workers have left which greatly challenge our attempts to control the virus. >> the word rampant is used to describe the spread of ebola in sierra leone. this along with guinea and liberia are the three worst affected nations. 4,000 have died since the start of the year, but with fear and stigma surrounding the virus, victims are being hidden from scared relatives. the real death toll is likely much higher. doctors without borders need help. >> we have been seeing clearly that we have reached our limit in terms of treating, that's why we are still a both astonished

is the very slow help of other actors, including military organization actors like w.h.o., united nation and so on. they are deploying as we speak, but we still don't see the result in the field. >> the w. when o. agrees there's a major shortfall in supplies saying liberia needs 3,000 beds to treat patients, but only has 620. guinea needs around 260 beds, but has just 160. sierra leone needs 1,200 but right now only has about a quarter of that. that's concerning. if there's no room in hospitals, people die at home where they can spread the virus. supplies are coming in from the international community, but it's still not enough. the w.h.o. has predicted the number of new cases is likely to

increase from 1,000 to up to 10,000 each week by december. the world needs to act now or suffer the consequences later. >> earlier, we spoke with the emergency desk manager at doctors without borders in amsterdam. she said the charity is crying out for help in west africa. >> if you look at the history, you will see doctors without borders has given regularly alarm signals, already starting in april, already starting to say this case is not a normal ebola outbreak, more needs to happen, w.h.o. needs to take this more serious, more resources need oh be allocated. our messages became more and more urgent, up to the end where we are trying to morals scream at world to say things need to happen here, this is not something you can watch and it has an impact on the rest of the

world. certainly the countries with less well developed public health system are really at risk. nobody has seen this outbreak before, this scale. it's hard to predict how it will develop further, but it's worsening every week is clear. this is not something you can leave to non-governmental organizations. no one governmental organization are at the end volunteers who are trying to to do their best, but this requires strong operations. that's why we're appealing to the governments, because it needs a holistic big approach of logistics, material, transport and specifically of medical engagements. >> egypt continues to deny allegations that its air force is bombing benghazi, but cairo is said to be involved. >> the battle for benghazi is being fought on the ground and from the air.

forces loyal to the renegade general want to liberate the city from what they call terrorists. members of a militia are defined. >> the army barracks are still in our hands and we will show you anyone who dares to mess with us, we will bury them. benghazi will be your graveyard as the battle intensifies, there have been more allegations that egypt's air force has bombed targets in the city. >> after the surprise visit by the u.n. chief calling for peace, we were surprised there were no similar calls for the u.a.e. to stop their blatant interference. we know the limited power of the libyan army. it is unacceptable to help the general with these airstrikes.

>> egypt's government denied any involvement, but some say it is in their interest to get rid of the militia. >> egypt is dealing with its own muslim brotherhood and would certainly not like to see an islamic regime in neighboring libya so will do its utmost to make is that your it is a representative government of parliamentaries, whatever the system emerges in libya. >> libya is in the grips of the worst violence in political turmoil since the uprising that toppled muammar gaddafi in 2011, groups all vying for power and unwilling to compromise. >> the u.s. state department says secretary of state john kerry raised the case of the three jailed aljazeera staff while on a visit to the capitol.

they have been detained in egypt for 292 days, falsely accused of aiding the muslim botherhood. they are appealing their convictions. one was sentenced to seven years, another received an additional three years for having a bullet in his possession which he picked up at a protest. >> still to come here, the dangerous search for climbers missing in the him lay i can't mountains. >> ditching the draft, taiwan struggles to modernize military forces. >> the kansas city royals end three decades of mlb misery. >> folks are being counted after presidential and parliamentary elections in mozambique, but the opposition party said it

uncovered signs of possible election fraud. we have more from the capitol. >> we were told that there had been widespread power cuts, some was suspicions about the timing, meaning some polling stations had to conduct counts in the dark, which clearly is not ideal. it was also said that some polling stations opened extremely late. the electoral commission where i'm standing outside is where the results will come into. it is said in one of the northern provinces, that some he election polling booth staff were held lastage. he said that they had been polluting with the government party and stuffing ballot boxes. those are some of the allegations. they appear to be relatively

isolated. there are 17,000 polling stations across the country, and that's why we've seen the election observers from the regional body saying this has been a pretty smooth election, saying with the electoral commission behind me, relatively smooth on the whole. >> leaders from 50 countries in asia and europe are gathering in italy for an economic summit. global markets are trying to recover after one of the most turbulent day in years. much of the focus will be on a meeting between russian president vladimir putin and his ukrainian counterpart, poroshenko, expected to discuss gas supplies and how to end the fighting in east ukraine. >> hong kong's government agreed to revive talks with students protesting against china's control over who they can vote for. the announcement's being

considered as a step forward after weeks of demonstration shut down parts of the city. meanwhile, seven police officers have been suspended after caught on camera appearing to beat a member of a local political party. sarah clark has more from hong kong. >> after 24 hours under arrest, emerging defiant but bruised. >> you should have seen the t.v. footage of a number of police officers brutally assaulting me while i was detained and entering defenseless. >> this is the result, bruises and cuts on his face and body when he was allegedly handcuffed and beaten by six plain clothed officers. he is now taking legal action against the police. >> prior to that, i had already been assaulted, and was later assaulted yet again in the police station. >> the attack was caught on

camera, and televised around the world. the beating reportedly went on for four minute, but it's left a lasting image on demonstrators who are now more determined to stay put. >> i never imagined this would happen to peaceful protestors. >> born in hong kong, now living in canada, he and his wife have flown home to show support. >> i really appreciate. there is appreciation from the bottom of my heart that i see something is new, that i didn't see before. >> hong kong's chief executive announced that he wants to resume talks with students in a bid to restore order to a city paralyzed by demonstration in its third week. >> the most constructive thing that the long congress government can offer the students is to sit down and listen to the students, what we can do together within the

framework position of the people's congress. >> these talks are expected to be held next week with university chance lowers mediating in those negotiations. protestors have always said their doors are open for direct dialogue but after the last meeting was canceled by the government, students are cautious about the next step. sarah clark, aljazeera, hong kong. >> the pakistani army said its fighter jets ever bombed al-qaeda linked fighters. the airstrikes killed 21 armed fighters and destroyed several of their hideout it is. >> they. a's tracking agency said 85 climbers remain unaccounted for following blizzards which caused and avalanche. 27 people are already confirmed dead, most of them foreign trekkers. october is one of the main trekking season in nepal and attract thousands of climbers.

>> i lost the people i was with and couldn't see anything. the snow got -- i was tracking snow through here and one they. a guide saw me and he asked me to -- he asked me to stay with him and just dragged me, really dragged me. >> we have more now on the rescue effort. >> this is the tail end of the circuit, behind me the pass where a lot of people cross every day. just two days ago, a massive snowstorm trapped many people, completely catching them unaware and rescue operations are taking place from here. yesterday, 18 people were rescued alive and four bodies flown out of here. today, there are five bodies still further up. the army has been coordinating and rescuing all these people. the snowstorm didn't only happen

just here, but also in the entire region, the army is having quite a difficult time because the weather in the mountains is very changeable and rescuing at high altitude in this changeable weather, they are finding it very difficult. earlier, they rescued one person alive, they saying that what they have seen a body, but they cannot bring it up, because the wind has started picking up. >> let's get a check on the weather now. there's a huge hurricane heading toward the hawaiian islands. >> that's right. surprisingly rare these, actually. since 1950, we've had three direct hits on hawaii. you see from the satellite picture, this massive cloud is making its way further northwest ward. we've got sustained winds of 100 kilometers per hour, gusting to 150 kilometers per hour.

it will push toward hawaii saturday morning. it is going to be up to 120, so will be a category one hurricane. we are looking at heavy rain pushing in here as we go through the course of the week. this is friday's picture, just making its way toward the far south, very strong winds coming in with that. it will continue to make its way further northwest ward. on the other side of mainland america, another system giving cause for concern. this massive cloud is another hurricane, making its way, becoming more organized now. it's going to continue making its way further northward going on through the next day or two. sustained winds of 215 kilometers per hour. at the moment, we're looking at a category one storm on the scale. it will continue to make its way further northward. a strong system as it passes just to the west of bermuda at

this stage then. here we're looking at this through the course of friday, late on friday, it's going to make its way through. the wind started to pick up for bermuda. we can on into saturday and the strange winds tucking in right across the country by this stage. strong winds on the eastern flank of the storm, damages winds a possibility here and we're certainly looking at the possibility of some very, very heavy rain, as well. this is the second storm to hit in the space of just one week. >> thank you for that. now, taiwan launched an ambitious plan to transform its military from a con scriptive force to a volunteer one. we've been given exclusive access. >> to see the current failings of taiwan's armed forces, you only need to spend a day with a batch of con scripts.

all men have had to serve time in the military, but after decades of peace, the military spirit is gone with many troops battling the bulge. >> fewer people in taiwan are having children these days. the kids they do have are frankly spoiled. >> with con description so unpopular, taiwan is transforming the military into a smaller volunteer one. special force soldiers will be expected to play a larger role. this man is trying to become a frogman, the equivalent of navy seals. only 10 have gotten thus far and even those left of struggling. the military has had trouble finding enough able men for a volunteer army, but part of the reason is its own image.

>> last year, draftee was caught taking a smart phone on to a base. he was held in cool tear confinement and had to endure drills until he collapsed of heat exhaustion. his death led to mass protests and the government forced to delay implementing the volunteer army from this year to 2017. >> with the all volunteer force, the soldiers and volunteers will receive more training to be more effective. >> back with the special force trainees, we still see challenges. it's the final night of the triumphs, exhausted, some struggle to stay awake. >> when it comes to will power,

this bunch is not as strong as former generations. some of them aren't solid. >> superiors tell us they've eased the physical requirements for soldiers to become frogmen. >> while this test is not at punishing as in years past, it is still geared to tax the physical to the mental. what these trainers are looking for at this late stage of the game is whether these recruits have the will to go on. >> whether ready or not, the responsibility of defense will be on the shoulders of members of this new volunteer force. their success or failure could ultimately decide the future of taiwan. aljazeera, taiwan. >> you can see more of the story on 101 east on thursday. >> still to come, inside north korea, what it would take to give up nuclear ambitions. >> finally, set free, the man

who spent nearly three decades behind bars for a murder he didn't commit. >> in sport, find out if a brazilian football legend could inspire his team to victory. stay with us. ay with us.

>> occurred issue fighters maintained control of the town. >> ebola virus is rampant according to the world health organization. >> doctors without borders needs more help to continue its work in west africa. >> there have been more violent protests in mexico against the disappearance of dozens of students who went missing three weeks ago. crowds in mexico city started fires and smashed windows, protestors demanding more government action to find the 43 students. >> we have more from mexico city. >> we have this protest outside mexico's attorney general's office, attention focused more and more on the individuality and humanity of the 43 missing

students. protestors are carrying signs and pictures of the students reading their names out in a public display to show that these are individuals, 43 is not just a number that can be forgotten or put out of mind. they are trying to put attention on their humanity as a way to keep up the pressure on the president and his attorney general so they will get to the bottom of this case and find these students and find the people responsible for their disappearance and drink them to justice. for the second day in a row, the president spoke publicly about the case, promising to use the full force of his office to bring those responsible to justice, but people here don't have faith in him and they don't have faith in these institutions. they say they live in what is basically a narco state. they say hundred was people have

been found in mass graves in recent months and the fact that the attorney general said he couldn't confirm the identity of bodies found as those of the students has led to more uncertainty and to more of a lack of faith and trust in the government. these people are not going to stop protesting, until these students are returned and until the government does bring those responsible for it to justice. >> u.s. prisoner david mack collum spent 30 years behind bars for a murder he didn't commit. >> the last time david parties' before a judge, he was just 16 and found guilty of murder. now at age 45, the judge admitted there had been a mistake. >> i will dismiss the indictment. >> sitting besides maccallum in

court was a woman who's son was convicted with him. he died in prison. >> these two teenagers had no chance with professional interrogators. >> the case was championed by the late hurricane carter, a boxer and symbol of racial injustice who had himself been wrongfully convicted in the number 60's. the stunning reversal came at the recommendation of the brooklyn district attorney. ken thomson has helped overturn 10 conviction of his predecessors. >> my main duty as the d.a. is not just to convict, but to do justice. when i walked through the doors of this offers in january, i inherited a legacy of disgrace with respect to wrongful conviction cases. >> maccallum confess to do so stealing a car. so did stuckey, but each accused other of the shooting. thomson said a review found not

a shred of evidence tying them to the crimes. >> he was lied to, physically assaulted and all of those things led him to say i've got to do whatever i can do to get out. i want to see my family. >> the legal team found someone else's d.n.o. an cigarettes in the stolen vehicle. >> d.n.a. evidence has helped exonerate over 300 people in the last 25 years and really changed the way experts look at confessions. about a third of those people who had convictions overturned as a result of d.n.a. had at one point confessed to the crime. >> i feel like i want to go home, finally. you know, this is a bittersweet moment, because i'm walking out alone. >> maccallum plan to say help others wrongfully convicted. >> the system can be fixed, but people need to pay attention to those individuals who cry out for help. >> 100 convictions currently

being reevaluated in brooklyn alone. >> north and south korea have held their first high level military talks in seven years in the a border village. we were granted rare access to film inside the joint security area on the north korean side of the border a few days before the meeting. we are joined live now from the south korean capital, seoul. >> it was a very big challenge. we were there, our trip was carefully planned. we had a schedule, every day, we had about eight visits. they obviously wanted to show us the best sites in north korea from monuments to farms to other locations. they were also sensitive to criticism. we had situations where we heard a saying that we're not allowed to talk to certain people, and they were very, very sensitive about issues like that. they wanted to show us that the rest of the world is wrong about

them. they wanted us to show that they were allowing us to talk to people when in fact many of those interviews were planned. as you can see, we had the possibility of going to different sites in pyongyang and toward the border meeting with high level officials where they explained to us why they are not giving up their nuclear program. >> on the road, along the border between the two koreas, a two hour drive along an empty road is one of the last vestiges of the war. >> this is one of the most heavily fortified border areas in the world. we were not allowed to film because of security concerns. >> we came to meet the lt.

colonel. >> it's time uplift the atmosphere for the reunification of korea, but south korea sending balloons with leaflets insulting our leader, it apparently shows that it's against it and wants to lead to war. >> on wednesday, north and south korea met for the first time in four years to discuss military issues across the border. at the demilitarized zone, we can only film what we're told to. this is parallel 38, the front line in a 60 year long conflict. >> that side is the u.s. and southee and all of this is north korea. there are other south korean dogs wearing the helmets on the opposite side. >> north korean soldiers stay soft with it's long time enemies. >> this is the closest we'll be able to get to south korea. it's right there in front. you can see tourists on the other side who were supposed to

go inside these blue buildings that are controlled by the united states, but apparently, the doors are closed. >> there are 40,000 troops on the other side and 1,000 nuclear weapons. the u.s. has 30,000 troops deployed in the southern peninsula. there haven't been nuclear weapons in the south for 20 years. the west is always saying the north should dismantle its nuclear weapons program. >> we will only give up our nuclear weapons when the country that is threaten us give up theirs. once theirs disappear, so will ours. >> it is the nuclear question that continues to keep north korea isolated and under international sanctions. >> analysts agree it is unlikely the north will dismantle its nuclear program anytime soon.

>> the reason why the north koreans are shouting, that's the only way kim jong-un can rule the society. >> the latest military talks are a step forward, but clearly the road to a formal peace here is long. >> we'll target those who provide a base for send military assistance to the u.s.,. >> pan and south korea to invade our country. we'll target them wherever they are in the world. >> threats and provocations by both sides make it difficult to imagine, and then to awar that divided the koreas six decades ago. >> so, it was a very difficult trip to work as a journalist. in fact, for example, many of the interviews we wanted to carry out, we asked people to sit down and they will tell us this is going to seem like a c.i.a. interrogation. this is something you hear over and over again, and what's interesting is that many of the

things this lt. col. told us is what we heard everywhere we went from nuclear weapons and need north korea has to have them in order to deter from a foreign attack to the need for reunification of both koreas. we went to schools and universities and everybody there talked about the need that the korean peninsula is united, but almost all of them seem to agree that as long as the united states remains in this peninsula, there's not going to be peace here. >> still to come here, here's an idea, we'll take you to bangladesh where floodwaters are used to create a bumper crop. >> he may have left for bars arena, but this golden boy still has affection from the reds. stay with us. .

>> the unite united united natis council is holding elections. we look at what tensions might arise. >> venezuelan president nicholas meduro attacking the united states saying they are

undermining countries around the world. hugo chavez once said the u.n. even made this personal attack on the then u.s. leader george w. bush. >> yesterday, the devil was here and it still smells of sulfur today. >> venezuela's leaders clearly like using the united nations as a perform. there is a chance every year that one hour in the global spotlight, but in the other key chamber of the united nations, being one of the 15 members of the security council is a very different proposition. permanent members serve a two year term. for the u.s., two years of venezuela using its seat to present its controversial views could become a headache.

it can make itself heard. venezuela's economy's in a real mess. >> venezuela has undergone signature million. there's been protests in the beginning of 2014 which lasted three or four months and were the bloodiest and most long-lasting protest in years. >> the president is less popular than his predecessor. he's appointed a new deputy ambassador at the united nations, hugo chavez's daughter, gabrielle la chavez. >> time for sport now. >> we'll start with mlb. the kansas city royals have a world series berth for the first time since 1985. their brilliant work in defense,

along with play saw them hold tight to defeat the baltimore orioles on wednesday. we have more. >> it's been three excruciating decades of disappointment for kansas city royals fans but after making the playoffs, all was about to change. escobar got off to a brilliant start in the first inning, scoring the opening run and allowing another home. the orioles got a run on the board in the third inning with ryan flaherty sending the ball deep sue the crowd. that was to be their only joy of the match, with alex gordon outstanding in defense, smashing himself into the wall, robbing baltimore of runs. >> did he catch? he did catch that ball! >> the royals rallied, putting their bodies on the line to continually deny their opponents.

>> moustakis added a final touch, sending the royals through to the world series with a 2-1 victory. >> 29 years of frustration has ended! the royals are going to the world series! >> to go in there and compete right along with those guys, score runs, and then two games for our bullpen to come in and just shake guys down. i mean, guys just stepped up and like i say, we were just clicking at the right moment right now. >> my whole goal, none of this was ever about me. it was about this city, our offends and these players. i've been there six times before. i know how special it is. i wanted my players to experience it and the city of kansas city to experience it and our fans. we're going to do that next week. >> the royals become the only mlb team to ever go into a postseason with eight wins in a row. it all begins tuesday in kansas

city where they face either the giants or cardinals. >> joining me live from new york is john henry smith. that's quite a fairy fail story. what does this victory mean for the royals and loyal fans who have been waiting for this for a long, long time? >> you look up the term long suffering in the dictionary, you'll find a kansas city sports fan. it's been 29 years since this city has won a championship. the royals did that in 1985. the only championship before that was the chiefs in the superbowl. this is a town that's wait add long time to have a winner to cheer for. this was the most unlikely of teams to cheer for, because no one expected anything of this team coming into this year.

they were -- there was a time they were under500 this year, and it seemed like this year wasn't going to go very well, they turned it on and figured it on and here they are now in the world series. >> what ever they done? >> the manager said that this is a team that wins the old fashioned way with speed, defense, and they win with a great bullpen. a lot of times, you see baseball teams trying to mash the ball, try to win by the home run. this is a team, even if they don't get a lot of extra-base hits, they only got one in their last two games of the series, they are very good at manufacturing offense. a stolen base here, a bunt to get the man over to third base there. they make their own luck. they've got players who not only are fast enough to make runs on the base pads, but are great on the defensive seed and infield

and outfield make tremendous defensive plays and help their pitchers out. tremendous help for the starting staff. >> the other teams are now one win away from joins the kansas royals in the world series is the san francisco giants. they now have 3-1 lead over the st. louis cardinals for the national league championship, behind in game four at home. the home run put the cardinals 4-1 up. san francisco's come back was helped by some throwing errors by first baseman matt adams. first a short throw allowed perez to slide in safety. he threw wide to second base, allowing brandon to get home,

san francisco winning 6-4. >> perez did a great job and great baserunner mike crawford, you know, on the other ground ball there, the panic hit and you know, if you're not hitting long ball, you got to find ways to manufacture runs. guys did a great job. i mean, that's quite a comeback. >> let's go back to john smith in new york. john, can the giants make it? we know they are 3-1 up, but that's just a number. the series could shift. >> it could, but not likely. for a number of reasons. number one, some very solid reasons. they've got baumgartner on the mound for them, a fantastic postseason pitcher against adam wainwright, who is the best pitcher on the st. louis cardinals staff, but he has had elbow problems, giving up eight earned runs this postseason. he's missing his catcher, yadier

moline that. he's not playing tonight, which is big. he calls the pitches that adam wainwright throws and is very good at the plate. they're going to be missing him. it's going to be very difficult for the st. louis cardinals to win this game. if you believe in these softer issues, you know, number one, the giants were 14-2 in their last 16 postseason games, but more than that, if you're a superstitious person, every even year, the giants get to the world series and win it. they did it in 2010, 2012, look at the calendar, what does it say? it's 2014. must be time for another giants trip to the world series. >> thank you very much for that. >> algeria in the top competition with a 3-0 win.
