hello and welcome to it our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. you're watching cnn. the fight against isis rages on as the u.s. begins military action against the stronghold group in syria. and moscow claims its aid makes it past the border in ukraine. also ahead -- >> i don't understand why police officers feel like they have to use their guns. they have tasers, they have batons. >> a future generation in ferguson, missouri, speaks out.

hear what the youngest think about the unrest. we begin with a deadly act of violence at a sunni mosque in a providence. we're going to show you the video. it is disturbing. that is the sound of gunmen shooting at about 70 mosque worshippers and wounding about 17 people. sunni lawmakers are blaming shiite militias for the attacks. it's raising interest about the talks with baghdad just as the u.s. military is working closely with iraqi and kurdish forces to beat back isis militants, so things get even more confusing there in iraq. we have cnn correspondents following the major developments.

anna coren is erbil but first, g gemana is in baghdad. this confuses an already difficult situation in baghdad. >> absolutely. first, the immediate danger here, is that there are concerns that an attack like this that is being blamed by sunnis on shia militias in the area could really cause retaliatory attacks that could replunge the country into that vicious cycle of violence that we saw back in 200 of and 2007 with counterattacks with sectarian violence.sunni officials are calling for an immediate investigation saying the perpetrators of this attack must be brought to justice in the government promising it may have an investigation into the

incident. something that means very little for sunnis that have led trust for prime minister nuri al maliki. now, withdrawing from the talks is a serious setback from the now prime minister al and the sunnis who have been key to fight extremist groups, al qaeda and iraq, the predecessor of isis. it was only weakened when the sunnis joined sources with the u.s. military in 2006 and 2007. so, here, a lot of concern about this attack and what this means right now, really throwing the political process into even further uncertainty. >> right. and now we learned that isis has apparently cut off yet another town in the northern part of the

country, and it may have been cut off for some time. what do you know about that? >> well, according to local reports, naturally, this is the town in the providence, the predominantly sunni providence north of baghdad where isis has made significant gains over the past few months. according to reports this home that is the home of militants besieged by isis militants for more than 70 days now. they've been fending off an attack. the numbers of the residents vary, 15,000 to 18,000. residents have been fending off an attack and possible isis militants entering this town but they are under siege, and isis militants according to these reports have cut off water supplies, electricity. they are stopping food and medicine from reaching this town. and we are just hearing now from

the united nations representative that the situation is difficult and demands an immediate action to prevent a disaster. calling to help the iraqis deal with the siege and really what we saw a couple weeks ago up in the north with that siege of mount sinjar. >> absolutely, how they fended off isis for this long is amazing. thank you, jomana, for that story. let's go to anna coren, that story that jomana just told us about, this village, you've been covering what the kurds have gone through in the northern part of the country. and it sounds quite familiar. >> yeah. absolutely, we know that isis is doing everything it can to attack and advance on its gains. there's obviously a fierce

battle happening in jillal which is 70 miles northeast of baghdad. this is a critical town that they sieged several weeks ago. they've had it for more than a week now, and the peshmerga, with the iraqi commanders are trying to take it back. we understand it's managed to take back nearby towns and villages, as for jillal which has a population of 50,000 has yet to take control. no word as to whether they have attacked over the last couple days. we certainly know that united states has been helping with the effort around mosul dam. we were up there earlier this week, natalie, obviously, we saw the peshmerga with the help of

iraqi commanders take control. that critical piece of infrastructure that isis would retreat and they still have not retreated. they are fighting in that surrounding area and it is something that is ongoing we really thought there was momentum under way, but really from all the reports we're getting, they are still fighting. there have been 60 air strikes around mosul dam to date. the u.s. has conducted 93 air strikes. obviously, there are calls for more air strikes. they need their air cover to help those ground forces make the advances that they so desperately need to make if they're going to reclaim control. once they have control, natalie, they need to then make sure that they can create that buffer zone around these towns, around these villages. around these vital pieces of infrastructure. we know what isis does. we've heard about it, we're

talking about the most advanced, well-funded terrorist group in the work. they will regroup, they will rearm and they will counterattack. and this is what we're seeing. this isn't just an enemy that can be defeated easily. is this going to be an ongoing operation. those air strikes, as we know are critical. >> and their weaponry on the ground is far superior to what the kurds have to try and push them back. anna coren for us from erbil, thank you, anna. coming up here, we'll look at the options facing world leaders as they try to figure out how to defeat isis. the united states is certainly looking at its options and we'll also talk about who has a stake as far as leaders there in the region and surrounding countries. that's coming up here. now to gaza city where hamas-run television said a man and a girl were killed and at least a dozen people wounded in

an israeli air strike thursday. they aired video of victims trying scramble from the rubble. earlier riles's prime minister warned that hamas would pay for an attack on a parking lot that killed a 4-year-old boy. cnn's ian lee joins us live from gaz city. ian. >> natalie, we've been witnessing air strikes again today, as well as continuing rocket fire. there's no evidence that this conflict is going to die down anytime soon. there are going to be ongoing negotiations in cairo. still, to have some sort of peace deal coming out of here, it's going to need some sort of compromise from both sides. hamas is unlikely to let down or stop the fighting without any

sort of change on the ground here. and this comes after three top hamas commanders who were killed just the other day, following that, we've seen a rise in the number of executions taking place, of people who have been, as hamas, collaborating with israel. they say that at least 18 people have been caught, have been executed. and when you look at these videos, or rather the pictures of these people who have been executed, their identities are concealed. now, that's like to protect the family members of these people, because clab bragt with israel does put a stain on their families but also could be because these people were either midlevel or top members of hamas, and they do not want to reveal how deep israeli intelligence has penetrated the organization. but the one thing that these executions have been is public.

and that is to send a message to anyone else who would be thinking about collaborating with israel. and hamas has those sent out a big league of sorts saying that if anyone who has been collaborating with israel comes forward, admits to their wrongdoing that hamas will show them mercy, natalie. >> well, they certainly haven't for these few that were killed. thank you so much, ian lee there for us in gaza. well, today marks two weeks since the shooting death of american teenager michael brown causing massive protests in his hometown. we'll tell what you the scene looked like today. plus, trucks from that russian convoy have now come back from across the border. we'll have a live report. stay with us. q.

it has been two weeks since the death of american teen michael brown shot by a police officer. crowds today in ferguson, missouri, has been smaller than we've seen. fewer police, no tear gas, no molotov cocktails. businesses have reopened. one with the words it's time to start the healing. our stephanie elam is in ferguson. >> reporter: the work week ending on a completely different note than the way it started

here in ferguson, missouri, ending with calmness and peace on the streets here as people came to the streets to still march in protest but in much smaller numbers and much more peaceful activity. we saw police remove themselves from the street and back off in the parking lot. still having a presence but not so much in the way what was on in the streets. in fact, it was such a successful nice, according to the police, there were zero arrests. >> tonight, traffic continues to be reduced. we have experienced fewer incidents tonight. there were no molotov cocktails tonight, we did not see a single handgun. tonight we deployed no tear gas and no mace. and tonight, no police officer fired a single bullet. >> reporter: and as the weekend continues it's expected to be very hot here in ferguson, missouri. but police say they expect this

calmness to continue. and as the evening hours approach for saturday, they'll re-evaluate and decide whether they need to close down west florissant avenue again. the funeral for michael brown will be held. they're expecting 5,000 people that can fit in the sanctuary and overflow rooms as well. there's expected to be a big outpouring from this community who have not yet been able to mourn the loss of the 18 who lost this life about two weeks ago. stephanie elam, cnn, ferguson, missouri. and schools will reopen month in ferguson, missouri, with concerns what kind of impact does this have on the children who have seen so much who live in that st. louis suburb. poppy harlow talked to a lot of them. >> my name is aaron kent, i'm 9

years old. >> reporter: these are ferguson's children. >> when it first started i did hear a couple gunshots and a lot of helicopters. i just can't get with it. they need to stop doing it. >> i'm just mostly mad about this. it's just plain wrong to let this happen. >> reporter: children caught in chaos. 8-year-old barreedus woods just wants to back to school. what's happened him scares him especially during the night. >> with the looters and all those people. >> at nighttime, i just try to comfort him and not let him watch the news because that's when he seems to be more afraid. >> reporter: their mothers have been protesting. they join them during the day. >> i'm standing up for what i think is right. >> we tried to explain to irene that cops are people, too.

there are good people and there are bad people. he wants to know why we can't go back to school. why is everybody breaking into stores. why is the street always blocked off at nighttime. >> reporter: but they don't have all the answers. >> he already knows, you know, that a cop shot a kid. and he wants to know why. i can't really explain to him why because i don't know why either. >> i just don't understand why police officers feel they have to use their guns. they have taser, they have batons. they even have mace. >> reporter: you can keep your children away from the violence and riots but images like this are hard to protect them from come daylight. >> my 9-year-old son was watching videos with me one night. we saw the tear gas, we saw the police officers. he said to me, i bet the kids in ferguson never want to go outside anymore. >> reporter: st. louis dispatch

have been focusing on the young. >> i think adults have an even greater responsibility to hear what the kids in this community are saying and what they're feeling. >> reporter: this child psychologist said listening to children means everything. >> the actual task is to listen to children. you can't make the blanket statements that everyone is seeing. what is their reality, they're people that they're worried about that they saw maybe as invincible before, and now they're not sure. >> reporter: david leonard knows what it's like to live through riots as a child. >> my name is david leonard and i was 14 years old during the l.a. riots. >> reporter: he documented them in this film.

>> when my dad heard the verdict, and he decided to pick me up from school, he knew he was taking me to be a part of history. >> reporter: he's a journalist now, he says, because of what he saw. >> it wasn't just living through the riots, it was living through seeing rodney king beaten by the lapd over and over. i felt like there was an injustices. i also felt like it was wrong to burn and loot places. i also felt like the system had failed. it really affected me in the notion that the world can be robbed in any -- at any point. >> reporter: as leonard and the word watch ferguson, the children here are just beginning to sort through what this all means to them. >> well, i learned a lesson that i shouldn't come out, where he got shot at, i'm not walking down the street where the police are out.

>> i learned that that should be the last resort. i want the world to know it that ferguson actually isn't a bad place. ferguson is a really nice place. >> reporter: there's no doubt, though, these children have been left a little less innocent. poppy harlow, cnn reports. >> very sweet to hear their perspectives. you're watching cnn. coming you have after the break, we separate fact from fiction about the ebola outbreak that is still growing.

senegal, a nation so far unaffected by the outbreak of the ebola virus in west africa has closed its borders with guinea in an effort to keep the virus out. despite that move, the epidemic continues to spread with nigeria reporting more cases raising its total number of patients to 14. the world health organization believes many cases of ebola have gone unreported, with families in denial over the impact of the illness. more than 1300 people have died since the outbreak epidemic in march. it has left many people scared because they don't quite understand. here's cnn's elizabeth hone. >> reporter: when kent brantly

and nancy writebol were released from the hospital, there was joy, but there was some people who may have expressed quietly they were concerned. these two people who have ebola will be out in the general public. was it safe for other people. the answer from doctors at emory who treated them is, yes, there is no threat for people in the general public. the reason is, they no longer have the virus in their blood, they know that because they tested these people over the course of two days. did more than one blood test and they know it is no longer there. now, of course, many people are wondering this secret serum, the new experimental medicine is that what saved them. the emory doctors said, you know what, there's no way of answering that question. maybe it was, but maybe it wasn't. let's take a look at the facts. in this particular outbreak, nearly half the people lived and these people didn't get the medicine. nearly half the people lived

even without the medicine. in some ways, they had pretty good odds working for them. another thing to think about, writebol and brantly they had exceptional well care. they were kept well hydrated. so they weren't given necessarily the same kind of care that other people with ebola have received. but i will say this as well, six people have been given this new medicine and five of them are still alive. >> another interesting question is whether writebol and brantly are immune to ebola. there are five strains of ebola. so if they did choose to go back to africa and ebola patients again, they would be better protected than other health care workers who didn't have ebola. >> elizabeth cohen for us there. coming up, the u.s. is

looking beyond its current air strikes in iraq with the possibility of the tailored air strikes in syria. looking at all the possibilities that now face world leaders to push isis out. that's next. visine® gives your eyes relief in seconds. visine®. get back to normal.

welcome back to cnn's special coverage. here are the top stories. we want to warn you, our top story from iraq has disturbing and sound. it was taken during a horrific killing in an iraq providence.

sunni lawmakers blamed militias. today marks two weeks since the police shooting death of american teen michael brown. it has been a calmer day in ferguson, missouri, where protests have boiled over for several nights since his death. businesses are reopening and police have seen no arrests overnight and have seen no firings or shooting and did not have to deploy tear gas. several trucks from the russian convoy have returned to russian territory now. it's not known whether they delivered any aid to beleaguered cities. kiev calls the crossing into its territory an invasion. now more on iraq and isis. the big question right now is what should the west do next, what should regional leaders do? with isis trying to expand its reach into parts of iraq and

syria, u.s. president barack obama finds himself being pushed towards possible military action in syria. we learn more from barbara starr at the pentagon. >> reporter: u.s. officials tell cnn there are longstanding and ongoing talks inside the administration about increasing air strikes in iraq and even the possibility of tailored air strikes inside syria against specific isis targets. but officials stress no decisions have been made by the white house. >> we're actively considering what's going to be necessary to deal with that threat. and we're not going to be restricted by borders. >> reporter: and the pentagon is divulging nothing. >> we don't telegraph our punches. i think you can rest assured that the leadership here in the pentagon understands the threat posed by this group. >> reporter: the talk of military options stirred up by this comment by defense secretary chuck hagel about the threat of isis and its ranks of

10,000 fighters. >> oh, this is beyond anything that we've seen. so we must prepare for everything. and the only way you do that is you take a cold, steely hard look at it. and get ready. >> reporter: officials are taking pains to emphasize that any military action would only be part of a long-term strategy against isis involving diplomacy and action from other countries in the region. u.s. military leaders continue to make the case that air strikes alone will not defeat isis. the countries in the region must ban together to defeat their radial ideology. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. so let's take a look now at the options facing world leaders as they watch isis militants try to expand. joining me now from the london school of economics, he's also

the author of the "new middle east protest and revolution in the arab world." thank you very much for joining us. >> pleasure. >> it's beyond aeons beyond tumultuous to say the least. what does the spread of isis and growth of isis 19 this region? >> well, i think the islamic state or isis is probably one of the most extreme factions to emerge in modern history in the last few hundred years. it's a social epidemic, it has infiltrated the politics. the reason why, what has has beened to the aspirations of millions of people who have called for freedom, for justice, for democracy, i think you have civil wars raging in syria in

libya and yemen and other places. and the islamic state, this particular social epidemic basically is nourished on conflict zones, has portrayed itself as the vanguard in communities. a minute ago you were talking about regional states. what you have are regional wars by proxy in syria and libya and yemen. this regional war by proxy with sectarian connotations have allowed isis to embed itself in local communities and as you said, as your correspondent barbara has said here, without the concerted strategy that deals with only iraq, syria, yemen and libya, you cannot stop the advance of isis and begin the process of this lodging -- it's not just about rolling

back. you want to dislodge it from local communities that has been able to embed itself with it. >> as you say, there are so many other wars going on in neighboring countries. who in the region can take the lead? who can come together to try to stamp out isis? and then again, what the u.s. is right now analyzing its role. what it's going to do, whether it goes into syria or not, what is all at stake here and who can come together for this. >> i mean, i think what is at stake is not just about the future of iraq and syria and the region. the rise of the social epidemics to present a threat to regional stability and security and international peace. i mean, the insid youous killing is not just a threat to western security, so what you need is a

comprehensive strategy. you need a broad coalition, regional states, local communities. if the reading is correct, if the only way to dislodge isis is to it get to demobilize local communities, sunnis, kurds, whatever, in order to take over isis, american air strikes on their own, as potent, as lethal as they are, cannot defeat isis, we know this. you need a brand bargain. you want to bring in saudi arabia on the one hand, and you are. this is really the heart of the darkness. this regional rivalry between the two regional giants. and you see that in iraq and other places that has allowed the social epidemics to grow. you need a grand barge ton find a possible diplomatic crisis. they must find a way to resolve

their differences tweeg regional powers and international security. it's only a broadly-based coalition made of local communities. the fighting communities and the rival regional powers along with the western powers can really begin the process, begin the process, of rolling back isis. this is a fight, it's a cliche, this is not about two months. it's going to take five and ten years to dislodge isis from the social fabric in the middle east. >> yes. and how important will it be that iraq is able to have some sort of unified government moving forward to help with the coordination of who comes to their aid. >> i mean, this is when we keep saying, all of us, as we know, keep saying that we need an inclusive government. what does an inclusive government mean. again to come back to the central question. the social epidemics are

presented by isis. and basically have been nourished on this sense of persecution, the sense of exclusion. the sense of marginalization. in a very important community, the sunni community. of course, isis doesn't care for the sunni community. it's manipulating the sunni community to find a base. so the government would be able to integrate all social community into the government and deny isis what -- deny isis -- not only finance, but deny isis social acceptance but deny it in iraq. and a political solution for the conflict that has been raging for more than three years. as you know in the last 24 hours we have learned that almost 200,000 have been are killed in the last civil war. how do you end this war? if you don't end this war isis

and other extremist groups will continue to flourish and be nourished there. >> it's certainly going to take all in to push back isis. the speaker of kurdistan said isis is a new form of violence that knows no boundaries. i guess you would agree with that as we close up here. >> thank you. >> thank you. the brother of james foley said the u.s. government could have done more to try and free the american journalist before he was assassinated by isis. michael foley said the u.s. policy against paying ransom for hostages is too rigid. he spoke about that with our anderson cooper. >> what kind of guy was he? >> anderson, i don't want jim to have died in vain. and from the amount of support i've seen and interest, i certainly don't believe that will be the case. but i want people to remember

jim and his legacy, how he -- you know, his fight for the less than privileged people. for the poor. for his love of journalism. his desire to bring light, bring the story out from places in the world that wouldn't otherwise be heard. and jim's really -- really my hero. and i think he's a hero for many people. and i really just hope that legacy carries on. >> is that really what compelled him? i mean, he came late to the world of journalism. >> he did. >> he was 40 years old when he died. but to go to the places repeatedly that he went to. there are other forms of journalism one can do but he chose the path and most dangerous path imaginable. for you, in his description of him, it was always about trying

to get a voice to those who didn't have a voice? >> it was. and i didn't appreciate it, especially after we worked for 40 days to get him out of libya. i didn't really appreciate it until he went back on to libya that second time, and i started to understand it. and someone -- i've been asked this question a million times why he's gone back. someone shared the analogy, why does a fireman go back into that burning fire, because they believed in their core this is what they're meant to do. and jim came to it late in life, but it really emerged his talents and his desires. and i really thought he brought a lot of skill to the profession in the short amount of time he was doing it. >> it's also important to point out, again, he wasn't sort of this young fool hardy guy going off to wars. i mean, he had been out there a long time. he had been experienced. as you said, he had been taken

captive in libya. he knew how to operate on the ground. did you talk to him about the dangers? did he discuss those with you and about your nots on it? >> yeah. we knew. he had a lot of experience, you're right, he was embedded with forces in afghanistan and iraq, of course, libya multiple times. syria, more than once. but anyone that's following what's going on in syria knows there's no blueprint for safety. >> i was reading after he got out of libya the first time "globalpost" i mean, he had a job state side. >> he did. >> it just didn't fit. >> jim actually lived with us in massachusetts, it was a time that we cherished. high two boys really looked up to uncle jim, the fun uncle, no rules. but, no, domestic life wasn't for him.

he had to get back. >> michael foley talking about his brother james foley. well, dozens of trucks crossed back into russia after entering ukraine to deliver what moscow says is relief supplies. we'll tell you more. and why some western leaders say the convoy was just a provocation.

and welcome back. some of the trucks from that russian convoy that crossed into

ukraine have crossed back now into russia. this video from reuters shows the vehicles coming back into russian territory. it isn't certain yet if these vehicles came to achieve what they came to do or left with pressure. moscow saying it had approval to cross the border, but kiev disputes that. one ukrainian official called it a direct invasion. and person powers support the ukrainian government stand. >> the united kingdom is deeply concerned about this provocative and unilateral action. it is an undeniable and blatant violation of ukrainian sovereignty. and a clear breach of international law and the charter. it has nothing to do with humanitarianism. that humanitarian effort is being coordinated by the united

nations. and if the russian federation wanted to participate in that, that could do so in a collective way, rather than acting unilaterally. >> diana magnay is live with the latest developments. diana, we really don't know where all of these trucks went do we? and what finally was inside of them. is it still pretty much a mystery after now they're heading back, apparently? >> reporter: that's right, and there are lots of theories, especially with the ukrainian people as to what could have been in those trucks and what was sending them into ukrainian territory to cause such an up rise because of these unilateral action without any agreements, without providing the inspectors to have authority of those trucks and without allowing them to escort the trucks deciding

they couldn't join the conflict because of danger to go in with those trucks. when they were waiting, ten days, said that they were containing humanitarian aid. there's no reason why they shouldn't have gone and delivered their supplies to the people in desperate need of it there. but there are lots of theories, such as perhaps why swapped out by ukraine, for a way to try and stop the ukrainian advance into luhansk it has been telling for weeks now, many, many theories. we can't get in their mind, but certainly from the international

perspective, the ukrainian perspective, this was a breach of security. and raises questions about that in this pat of the world. i got here in the beginning of june, and it was such a different picture and now there are children playing in this central square. when we walked through the central square, it was at the height of the siege. it was very difficult to get in for about three days. i remember walking across this square, and it was very scary, it was completely deserted. were you were scared of snipers. that area where it's been draped with the flags, that was heavily sandbagged. we couldn't see any fighters untilby were right up there talking to them. they were hidden behind their sandbags. so it is an extraordinary scene,

children playing, how quickly war has swept through this town. and now as you imagine, liuhans which is fairly safe, i talked to people and they said we're praying for those people. >> it's remarkable to see the scene behind you. we know angela merkel is there to talk to poroshenko about the next steps. diana magnay, thank you. up next, a look at the world weather forecast with ivan. including the volcano that looks like it is ready to rumble. y wh it not only safely whitens teeth, but also restores enamel. lose the nerves, and get a healthier, whiter smile that you'll love. listerine® healthy whitetm. power to your mouthtm!

iceland's largest volcanic system is rumbling. the mountain could soon blow it's top. let's get more from our meteorologist ivan cabrera. kind of a beautiful, eerie picture. >> yes, let's hope it stays like that and it doesn't blow its top. gosh, i forgot the name already. sometimes, we have a lot of tech equipment, but sometimes, it's just cheat sheets. the name of the thing -- all right. let's check in what's going on. nothing has changed. we're not imminent and

hopefully, we won't get there, we're at escalating unrest. so basically they've evacuated some people out of here. this is a regional, local situation because of the fear of melting there. if it doesn't erupt in the atmosphere, the relt if it doese rupture from its main chamber, that's when you get the ash in the air and that's where the airplanes start getting into trouble,specially out towards europe. what we have this magna field and that has filled and that is the less violent rupture. that is the 101 on the iceland volcano 101. i want to leave you with very impressive rain totals in chicago. showers and numerous thunderstorms just took over the city. almost five inches, what they normally get in the entire month, they got that in four hours. that's an inch an hour. that will do this with pictures of what is happening in chicago.

incredible scenes. some of the water, of course, has recede and it has been allowed to do that because it has not poured over chicago some more there. over the next 24 hours there's a chance for thunderstorms just a month's worth of rain in four hours. i don't think we're going to do that quite again. the rest of the story across the southeastern u.s. is the key. natalie and i have been feeling that. there is severe weather to the area, we'll watch to this area here. but to the south and east of that, my goodness, look at all of these heat advisories. summer is locked in here for the next couple of days. and the heat advisories go all the way into gainesville, florida. by the time we get into this area here, that's today, heat in the 100s. keep to the shade. >> it was hot today. i'm in inside. >> perfect place to go right

now, iceland, i would imagine. >> thank you for watching cnn. "early start" is coming up next here. [ male announcer ] eligible for medicare?
