9:08 am
they shot a ceremonial guard who had a weapon that didn't have bullets in it. the gunman then apparently seized a car, drove across the street to the parliamentary building, that is the clock tower there, and then fired multiple shots inside that building. we were told that he was on the dangerous travelers list, that his passport had been seized, because there was concern that he would head toward the middle east to fight with the islamic state of iraq and the levant. we still have many questions about his motivation. >> how would you describe the mood in canada as a whole? we understand that the parliament is determined to sit today, almost in defiance. >> that's right. well, the mood here is really somberness and shock. i'll show you the newspapers from today.
9:09 am
this gives you a little bit of the impact of how people feel here. canada really had a wake up call. they did not experience 9/11 in the way the states did, and therefore didn't protect their buildings or their military in the same way. now there's a lot of talk about changing that, that parliament was called a parliament for all. anybody could walk into that building. that is likely to change. later this morning, we have a ceremony at the war memorial where that soldier was shot. steven harper, the prime minister will speak, as well this morning, but things are very likely to change in canada in the near future. >> thank you very much, reporting live from ottawa. >> we can go back to our main story, an ongoing situation just outside of the capitol in

9:14 am
cross turkey to reinforce their kurdish brethren, who are defending kobane from isil. >> why is iraq's kurdish government sending its fighters to neighboring syria when it's sources are already strained defending their own front lines in iraq with isil? this is a question we put to charles stratford in erbil. >> still no confirmation as to how many peshmerga will be crossing. can the peshmerga be spared where there is such a long front
9:15 am
line here with the kurdish region in northern iraq that needs defense. can those peshmerga forces be freed up to go and defend and fight isil in kobane without in any way jeopardizing their defense here. a 1,050-kilometer line, a front line that is fluctuating, that changes every day, that was fighting last night in the mosul dam. we heard peshmerga sources here that there away number of isil fighters killed, including an isil commander. that was with backup from coalition airstrikes, u.s. airstrikes here. there was more fighting in and around the mountains, peshmerga backed up with yazidi militia, so an example of just how fluid the situation is here and big questions as to whether sending these peshmerga in any way will cause problems in defending that front line. >> we've got a lot more to come here, including the latest
