>> hello, welcome back. i'm rosemary church. >> good to have you here, rosemary. i'm errol barnett. thanks to those watching from all around the world and right here in the u.s. well, the u.s. is ramping up pressure on isis insurgents. an official tells cnn president obama has authorized reconnaissance flights over syria and they could begin at any time. now, this comes just after syria's assad rejames announced it's ready to accept international help even from the u.s. to battle the growing isis threat. but syria says all military action must be approved by the u.n. security council and coordinated with da as cuss. listen. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> translator: we are ready to cooperate and coordinate with regional cups and the international community fighting terrorism following the resolutions of the u.n. security council. >> air strikes are already targeting isis positions in iraq and syria's decision to

cooperate with the united states and others comes just as washington weighs its options for wider action. >> barbara starr has more from the pentagon. >> reporter: fighters parade through >> reporter: fighters parade through raqqa after isis takes over an air base from bash that al assad's regime consolidating its grip across the region. officially the white house is still thinking about getting more involved. >> the president has not made a decision to pursue military action in syria. >> reporter: also unclear, how much the president's top military adviser, general martin dempsey, supports immediate u.s. military action. dempsey has advocated going after isis in syria when it presents a direct threat to the u.s. homeland but he has kept the door open. >> can they be defeated without

by new attacks in the iraqi capital. the latest two car bombs left three dead and 15 wounded. eight people were killed earlier monday at a shiite mosque. isis claims responsibility for that attack. and also taking a look at this. isis claiming responsibility for three car bombs that killed at least 20 people in the northern city of kirkuk on saturday. >> for more we have more from baghdad. what are we learning about these bomb attacks in shiite areas of

baghdad and karbala monday and who might be behind some of these where there hasn't been a claim of responsibility? >> reporter: rosemary we just got news that another car bomb targeted that predominantly the shiite area in eastern baghdad. the new baghdad area killing at least three people and wound in ten hours earlier. we have not had a claim of responsibility for the rest of the bombings and this is the case mostly with violence in iraq. you don't know who is spinbehin this violence. when you have isis claiming responsibility they are saying this is in retaliation for what we saw friday. that brutal attack on a sunni mosque northeast of baghdad where 70 sunni worshipers were killed after a gunman stormed the mosque and opened fire on them and with that attack the sunni politicians here blamed it

on shiite mischas then you see these retaliatory attacks like the bomb on the mosque yesterday in eastern baghdad. that really, really makes people worried that what we're seeing now is that isis attempt like its predecessor to stoke sectarian tensions and try to drive the country back into that cycle of retaliatory attacks, attack/counterattack between sunnis and ships ya to drive them into an all-out sectarian war. very tense time. government formation time historically a time of increased violence in this country, politics and violence are very closely intertwined so already people here are holding their breath, they are worried about what might come and now we're seeing an increase in the bombings over the past few days targeting those shiite areas. >> yeah, this is the big fear, the big concern and in iraq specifically what is it going to take to weaken and halt the

threat of isis from a military and indeed a political standpoint? >> well, that's the thing, absolutely, rosemary, you cannot look at it from a military standpoint on its own. cannot use military campaigns only to weaken isis as we saw in the past, the predecessor of is isis, al qaeda and iraq took a number of factors to weaken it and did see a drop in violence and attacks and capabilities by al qaeda in iraq. the most important thing, key, what is going on in baghdad. that government formation process where the prime minister brings on board sunnis. they were key in turning that side against al qaeda and iraq and when they joined forces with the u.s. military, it was the u.s. military's strategy of recruiting the tribes to rise up and fight al qaeda in their areas and over the past few years since the departure sunnis

say it is the sectarian policies of nuri al maliki that have marginalized them and have been persecuted by the security forces and that is why the change needs to happen now. this prime minister needs to regain their trust and have them on board in this fight against heidi. >> jomana karadech achkaradecha. many thanks. new developments into cnn over just the past few hours as it reels to the michael brown case. a man who lives near the scene of the shooting say he may have inadvertently recorded audio of the gunshots that killed brown and says he has been interviewed by the fbi, now cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity of the recording and we are reaching out to the fbi to confirm the man's story. but as that plays out we want you to listen to what could be a key piece of evidence.

we're going to play that audio for you now but first listen to the man's attorney explaining its context. >> he was in his apartment. he was talking to a friend on the video chat. he heard loud noises and at the moment -- at the time he didn't even realize the import of what he was hearing until afterwards and it just happened to have captured 12 seconds of what transpired outside of his building. >> you are pretty. you're so fine. just going on some of your videos. how could i forget? >> disturbing and that was just a portion of the gunshots. some analysts counted 11 gun the shots. one report there is only six and a noticeable pause. that will raise a lot of questions about if there was an opportunity to stop and we're going to see now as the grand

jury looks at evidence and maybe we'll have a decision in a few months how much this piece of evidence plays into it. meantime, though, you have civil rights activists and religious leaders just hoping that the shooting death of an unarmed teen will be somewhat of a wake-up call for people in the united states about gun violence and policing in the country. >> yeah, thousands of people attended his funeral and victor blackwell has more on what many african-americans call the teen's homegoing service. ♪ >> reporter: organizers called it a celebration of the life of michael brown. family members and complete strangers jumped to their feet clapping and shouting. ♪ >> reporter: but not lesley mcspadden. at the start of the service she stood, staring at her son's casket and photos, more than two weeks after he was shot and killed on the street in ferguson, missouri. >> michael brown's blood is crying from the ground, crying

for vengeance, crying for justice. >> reporter: justice brown's great uncle says for more than just his nephew. >> there is a cry being made from the ground, not just for michael brown, but for the trayvon martins, for those children at sandy hook elementary school, for the columbine massacre, for the black-on-black crime there is a cry being made from the ground! >> there was definitely a message of, you know, keep it peaceful, and it starts at home. excuse me. it starts at home and goes out to the community and then into the world. you know, we have to start with ourselves and then go out, you know, and spread peace and be respectful, definitely, first and foremost, be respectful of others. >> reporter: ranita conway never met brown neither likely had the 4500 attendees. some wearing a t-shirt or

mourning over someone they lost. >> i know the grieving over lost grandchildren that will never be born. >> reporter: celebrities and notables like spike lee and jesse jackson sat in a seemingly reserved vip section next to politicians from the state capitol and the nation's capitol and there was plenty of politics. >> what you guys can do to continue this is show up at the voting polls, let your voices be heard and let everyone know that we have had enough of all of this. >> reporter: but after weeks of protests with moments of violence, fogs of tear gas, and standoffs with police, a plea. >> today is for peace, peace and quiet. we will lay our son, brother, cousin, uncle, our family, young man, young black man, young

human being. but we don't say good-bye. we say good journey until we meet again. >> reporter: victor blackwell, cnn, st. louis, missouri. >> and we will have much more on this story later this hour. michael brown's mother is getting support from two mothers who also lost their sons to gun violence and don lemon spoke with the three of them. that emotional interview is coming up. plus, a look at the hardships endured by those living inside one of liberia's quarantine zones. we'll get you this and new information coming into cnn after the break. so factors like diet can negatively impact good bacteria? even if you're healthy and active. phillips digestive health support is a duo-probiotic that helps supplement good bacteria found in two parts of your digestive tract. i'm doubly impressed! phillips' digestive health. a daily probiotic.

welcome back. health officials in liberia say a doctor infected with the ebola virus has died. dr. abe bra him borbor contracted it while working at a hospital in the capital monrovia. he had been receiving the experimental ebola drug zmapp. the same drug that's credited at least with helping save two american patients. now, there are so many doctors infected with the ebola, the world health organization saying, in fact, an unprecedented 120 medical workers have died from ebola so far and twice that number have been infected creating a huge challenge because those are the people guedesperately needed th

to combat the virus. the w.h.o. is testing two patients to see if they have a different strain. mean time ban ki-moon is you wering countries no the to panic and to keep their borders open. >> excessive worry and free will hamper us in addressing these issues. therefore i'm urging all leaders concerned, i'm urging them not to close their borders. the borders should be open and there should be no ban on air traffic or sea traffic and routes, land traffic. >> now, the united nations' new point man on ebola says the fight to stamp out the virus is really a war that could take another six months. now, monrovia is ground zero for liberia's battle against ebola

as our nima elbagir is about to show you. >> reporter: on the drive in to west point you're met with barbed wire. and barricaded shops and at the quarteren line residents congregating to stare down police. crossing through the line, you are immediately swarmed. people desperate to be heard, desperate to believe this isn't happening. a rough estimate there, over 70,000 people living in monrovia's west point, no sanitation, no running water and since the government designated it an ebola quarantine zone last week, no way out. this was after rioters looted.

claiming it was a government hoax. a nurse arrived for her shift to find the center destroyed and not a patient to be found. you can see this center, it's not extraordinarily well equipped. they're having to rewash their protective gear, a squirt of diluted bleach and a door that was ransacked and left for broken during the riots. this is it. this is the only place people have. and even here, the most that they can hope to get is to be made comfortable while they wait to either overcome the virus or not. charming is a hairdresser. like many here in west point, she has to travel out of the township to make a living. the only breadwinner for her two children. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> translator: right now my mother doesn't have anything. i was the one that provided for her. but as time goes by now she's complaining the rice is finished. >> reporter: are you more scared of ebola or are you more scared of the hunger? >> translator: that's what's worrying us is the hunger,

the ebola, everything. i'm scared of everything. >> reporter: charming leaves us. she's going to see if her mother is right. if the food really has run out. as we walk back out onto the street, the crowd has grown larger. at the quarantine line the standoff continues. desperate to at least be seen and heard, if not released. nima elbagir, cnn, monrovia, liberia. now for those of you watching from outside the united states, you can tune in to cnn news center with isha sesay all week for special coverage of this ebola crisis, 20:30 in johannesburg. israel's military leveled one of the tallest buildings in gaza. palestinian health officials say 20 people were wounded.

on california's wine industry. >> reporter: across napa valley forklifts recover wine barrels and winemakers like mike drash is looking at the damage. we're warned to move fast and get out. here's why. barrel after barrel, entire stacks of them, precariously tilting. >> a big pile that's stacked up back there where they've fallen off the racks. >> reporter: this is drash's precious 2012 vintage. >> that's my barrel of wine. >> reporter: each of these worth $10,000 to $24,000. >> these are full. these are all mine. that's really dangerous right there. >> reporter: there's some white wine on the ground, but until he can get all the barrels out and see them, drash just won't know what he's lost. it took him two years to go from grape to wine. now in the balance after the short but powerful quake. >> it's unbelievable.

just in 10 seconds, right, 15 seconds. >> yep. >> yeah, yeah, it's making me nervous in here too. yeah. >> reporter: drash isn't just a winemaker in napa valley. this is the historic home he owns near downtown napa dating back to the 1800s. >> pretty much everywhere you look, there's a crack, a sizable crack. >> reporter: how drash recovers from all this, as well as everyone in his neighborhood and city -- >> wow. that's bad. >> reporter: like everything in napa, it comes down to the wine. there is spotty damage across the city to what's already been bottled like in ahmed's wine storage room. >> be careful. don't touch. okay? >> reporter: how many bottles are we talking about? >> hundreds and hundreds. i would say maybe over a thousand bottles. >> reporter: vineyards like sebastiani winery in soma saw 19 of its wine tanks damaged, but in many vineyards like

couvaison vineyard, they're optimistic they can absorb this damage and it won't have a lasting impact on california's wines. >> it hurts, but, you know, we're in agriculture. you know, we're dealing with these things vintage by vintage. we only have one shot at making wine every year then we move on. mother nature sometimes plays a role. >> reporter: 90% of wine in the united states is produced right here in california. so will this disaster affect the price of your wine? well, it depends what you want to drink. the bigger wineries will probably be able to absorb the cost. it's the smaller ones, the independent ones that could truly struggle. kyung lah, cnn, napa, california. >> all right. we do want to take a look at the weather and days of heavy rain have flooded parts of south korea. >> once again ivan cabrera joins us with more. south korea has been pummeled with storms and rains and floods and it just -- >> yeah. they've had it. it's been incredible. the season here so far and, of course, it's been impacting japan, as well. what happens in the korean

pierre things la usually heads east because of the prevailing winds and rain has moved into japan but it was an incredible amount that fell over south korea that caused the problems yesterday. 95 millimeters, can handle that, can ham 84 but a quarter of a meter, which is 10 inches that, is just too much and overwhelmed rivers and streams and this is what we were left with, people as stuck in bus -- let's roll that video of before this image and that very bus that i think essentially got caught in one of those bridges there, thankfully because that stopped it. look at that. people were able to get to those folks inside the bus and began pulling them out rather quickly as first responders got there, but volunteers, people just kind of standing by watching it play out, look at that current there, incredible rains, that's what happens when you get that much rainfall and just a short amount of time and, yes, we've been

covering these stories throughout the entire rainy season and been relentless across the region along this front and what happens it rains along the front but it's essentially you get low areas that can enhance the rainfall and can come down in buckets. further down, we are looking at the philippines here and in typhoon season and philippines no stranger to it. this is dumping tropical amounts of rain across lusan and manila included with very heavy rainfall and still raining. not quite done between 100 and 200 millimeters, 4 to 8 inches of rain, just incredible there and here we've had significant flooding as well with people trying to get around. it's been difficult to add that. businesses have been flooded and schools canceled in some parts and it is ongoing here and in india, likewise, look at this. clear sky and then you get that

afternoon thunderstorm activity that just building up because of abundant tropical moisture available to india because of the monsoon this time of year, 40 to 65 millimeters and, yes, school goes on as we continue with the rain in india, as well. guys. >> all right, ivan, thanks very much. >> thank you. well, still ahead here on cnn, thousands of westerners have joined the jihadist fight in syria and iraq. >> that's right. we are with a group tracking some of those men as they boast of their exploits all over the web. stay with us on cnn. ♪ ♪

he tells his attorney he captured sound of the gunshots while he was video chatting with a friend. his attorney says the fbi has been speaking to the man. the world health organization says an unprecedented 120 medical workers have died so far from the ebola outbreak and more than twice that number have been infected. meantime, the w.h.o. is testing two patients with ebola in the drc to see if they have a different strain of the virus. u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon is earning countries no the to panic and to keep borders open. two u.s. officials tell cnn investigators are no closer to identifying who killed james foley. that's despite the british ambassador's assertion that officials are, quote, not very far from naming the american journalist killer. the u.s. officials say the killer cannot be determined from the isis video because it does not actually show the murder. now, hundreds of foreign

fighters who joined the bloody battle in syria and iraq have actually documented their journeys online. >> yeah, these jihadists may be the clue to finding the murderer of james foley. cnn atika schubert speaks with experts on how they're using social media to find crucial information about the fighters. >> reporter: there are thousands fighting in syria and hundreds from britain. many of them online boasting about battlefield exploits posting gruesome photos of executions and beheadings. >> at the moment our database contains just over 450 individual people who have gone out to fight. that includes men and women. we have gone through twitter, instagram, facebook, all these various social media accounts and begun to build a profile of the individuals who have gone out will. >> reporter: the international center for the study of radicalization at kings college tracks many of them online. peter neumann founded the center.

>> around 20% are westerners and of the westerners, 2,000 are western europeans. the western europeans, brits, represent maybe 400. certainly a sizable number but it is by far not the largest nudge. >> reporter: they like many analysts and investigators have been scouring their databases to see if there is a match for foley's killer. the masked man with the british accent. here they show us how they build profiles on known militants. >> this guy is from sweden. he's from sweden. what is really helpful about this is that you can get a sense of what weapons they're using, what they're equipped with. before maybe in a conflict you would have to have intelligence that you gleaned from on the ground. now you can see that on twitter. >> reporter: you can even tell where they are with a shot like that >> yeah. >> reporter: that constant ringing noise in the background, that's one of their contacts, a british jihadist in syria carefully suggesting that some fighters may want to come back home even though they face time in jail. incredibly, more than 200

fighters have returned home from syria since the conflict began. >> how many people are you with? he said i'm with 80 people. i said, all brits? he said 30 brits. >> he thinks he can be a conduit to help them come back. >> they're reading the headlines and read they'll all be locked up and flown away and taken their passports. >> reporter: they also talk about this video. the most recent propaganda from isis designed to show their planning operations and showcasing video taken from a drone camera. >> this looks like he might be going on a suicide mission. that would be really interesting. >> wow. yeah. >> reporter: despite trawling through videos like this, however, none of the jihadis they're profiling match the man in foley's video. even if he is found, he is still far from the reach of the british government with no guarantee that foley's executioner will ever face justice. atika schubert, cnn, london.

all right. we want to go back now to one of the other big stories we are following, the funeral of michael brown. >> yes, the 18-year-old was laid to rest monday in the u.s. state of missouri. thousands of mourners attended what's known as the homegoing service. but this isn't the first time a funeral for an unarmed young african-american person was killed in gun violence. >> now, you may remember these two victims, 23-year-old sean bell was one of three men shot outside a new york nightclub by undercover police officers back in 2006. the officers fired 50 shots in just a few seconds killing bell on the morning before his wedding. those officers were acquitted in a criminal trial. >> and this case received a lot of attention in 2012 former neighborhood watch captain george zimmermann shot and

killed 17-year-old trayvon martin. you see some images of him there. the teen was walking back to his father's home after buying snacks at a store. zimmermann was acquitted also in that case and don lemon sat down with all of the victims' mothers now united in heartbreak. >> what can these moms, these women, they can offer you something that the guys can't, right? the husbands can't. >> yeah. >> reporter: what can they offer you? >> they're speaking to me from experience, you know. they offer me something right now, but i can't tell you what it is. but it's something. and something is more than nothing. >> reporter: when we were standing there waiting to meet her, you turned to valerie, sybrina, and you said, are you having flashbacks of this moment? >> yes, she did. >> reporter: when it was the day

before the homegoing. >> yes, and i have to be strong for her. the flashback, my son eight years ago was my flashback and thinking of her at the time, her son was 10 years old when it happened, and i thought to say to her, keep the memories in your heart that's going to help you to continue to carry on with your son and believe and have faith in god will also help you and the close family members. that's what keeps me, the memories of my son. he always used to tell me, ma, i got this, so i'm telling you, ma, you got this. it's okay to cry, scream. i still do. it's eight years but you got this. >> you have to focus on when he was smiling. you have to focus on his first day of school and you have to focus on christmas day and things like that. the happier times and put a picture up when he was happy. >> yes. >> and you have to focus on those. just don't focus on the death because that's going to eat away at you. >> and, lesley, you know, it's hard and you're probably

thinking right now that i'm sure it doesn't seem real to you. but these ladies are examples that there's -- you can survive this, and i don't know -- i can't -- maybe i'm not putting it in the right words, but can you ever be whole again or can you ever -- how would you put it? >> like i don't think it's a matter of being whole. what i think it is is a matter of a new life and this is the new life. this is -- i can never go back to who i was and what i was because i'm missing something very precious in my life and something very special. >> losing my son was like losing a part of your body, but you remember. you remember what that part of your body has done for you. like if you lose an arm, you knew what that arm did, so my thing is keeping the memories that will keep you and carry you on. >> i want you guys to talk about it because it's going to be very difficult, and you have dealt with it, is character assassination. i think you describe it as character assassination, one of you.

what do you mean by that? >> that means that people that don't even know her son is going to say negative things about him just to portray him in a different light, in a negative light, just to try to justify what happened. >> is that one of the hardest parts or are you even are thinking about that, about people talking about your son? >> no, the hardest part for her is going to be the homegoing service. as i have said, that is the absolutely worst day of her life as a mother because there is no words that can bring comfort to her as a mother by seeing her son in a casket. >> do you go around the house in the kitchen and do you talk to trayvon? >> absolutely.

absolutely. >> do you? >> yes. if i know something has to be done, ma, i got this. his favorite saying. ma, i got this. >> do you do the same thing, lesley? >> especially when it rains, yep. >> when it rains. why? >> something about the rain. something about it. >> it makes you want to -- >> i feel him. >> he's there. >> uh-huh. >> he's there. he's watching over you. >> what was it like meeting her? >> i'm glad i did meet you. it brought back memories of my son and i just thought of your son. >> it's hurtful but at the same

time it's -- it's comforting because i know she needs people that understand what she's going through. >> and, lesley, what was it like meeting these ladies? they've been saying everything how they feel about you. what's it like meeting them? what do you want to say to them? >> i'm sorry what you had to go through. i'm sorry about yours too. >> thank you all. >> he got you. he got you, baby. he got you. he got you. was that new car smell and the freedom of the open road? a card that gave you that "i'm 16 and just got my first car" feeling.

a fierce bat toll wins them back. as the fighting continues russia now says it wants to second a second humanitarian aid convoy into luhansk. they called the first a direct invasion but there is, of course, a very real difference between invading with tanks and with aid lorries. there is no doubt that humanitarian supplies are desperately needed by the people here. diana magnay, cnn. well, when you wander through london's maparks and streets it feels like many statues are speaking to you from the past. >> you're not crazy and we'll explain why after the break. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing.

across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. veggies you're cool... reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals. 9 grams of protein... with 30% less sugars than before. ensure, your #1 dr. recommended brand now introduces ensure active. muscle health. clear protein drink and high protein. targeted nutrition to feed your active life. ensure. take life in. we'we're trying ourls. best to be role models. we don't jump at the sound of the opening bell, because we're trying to make the school bell. corner booth beats corner office any day.

it is now hurricane cristobal that's finding its way. it's hitting -- well, we'll find out where it's hitting. >> ivan cabrera joins us with more on a storm that could pack a punch. is packing a punch already. >> yes, it is, absolutely and for the bahamas, in fact, it has been because it hasn't been heading anywhere but stationary over the last couple of days dumping rain over the bahamas and cuba and island of hispaniola and now finally moving. 120 kilometer per hour winds and 75 mph. here it's moving up to the north and thankfully it is going to hook out and miss the united states, but it is going to come close enough and will be strong enough to provide us with some swells and that means watch on the beaches for those rip currents and it'll pass close enough to bermuda where they've decided to put a tropical storm watch. that means tropical storm conditions are possible during the next couple of days as it

passes through, but i think the most dangerous part of the storm certainly going to miss bermuda so good news all the while it goes up to the north and east. you know, sometimes these storms get picked up and that has been the case but sometimes they barrel towards the u.s. not the case this time around. we've had persistent troughs across the eastern u.s. so far this summer they've been taking care of business and el nino has also been keeping things quiet in the atlantic and we like that. hot stuff. that's the stuff across the midsection of the united states, mid-90s to 100 degrees and doesn't even factor in the humidity. when you do that it feels like 105, 110 and we'll continue to see hot temperatures. so if you want to cool down take a transatlantic flight and head to europe. where the cool air is where temperatures are nice, oh, my goodness, is fall coming, yes, it is and in fact we've had that area of lopez that moved through lon don't and brought us showers that is trucking off to the

east, guys. >> very good. >> i wouldn't mind a trip to europe. >> let's take our viewers to the uk right now. >> all right. >> ivan says let's do it because over there they have these things standing silent frozen in place watching the years march by. what are these? >> this week some of england's historic statues found their voices. jim boulden went to hear what they have to say. >> reporter: they stand on our streets often ignored and silent. if you've ever walked along the thames here on this bridge, you might have walked right past queen victoria, but now you can tap, type or scan and get a phone call from queen victoria. >> hello. victoria here. queen of england for 63 years, seven months and two days but who's counting. >> reporter: read by arcs, 35 statues across lon don't and

manchester now have a voice. >> i think that in a world where we feel increasingly separate from our public spaces, how can we make people feel a sense of belonging and sense of ownership and fun? we can stop people from looking in their phones to looking at the world around them. >> reporter: at paddington station voicing this is "downton abbey's" hugh bonneville. >> my whole life was about trying to get somewhere. >> reporter: patrick stewart becomes the unknown soldier. >> common, stand a while. >> reporter: in manchester lending his voice to conductor is actor timothy west. >> do you know a statue's march. >> yes, i do and i say, oh, i must remember to google him when i get home and forget. that's what's good about this. get a thumbnail sketch. >> it's not just people, it's animals too. >> good morrow to you dear

passer-by. the cat was the feline friend of the london mayor. >> these statues have existed when a time when celebrity is so common. these were the celebrities of the time, the icons and we just don't notice them and me must have all done something quite important. >> reporter: 'these statues make their voices heard it's got plans to expand it to the united states. you never know how might get a call from next. jim boulden, cnn, london. >> very unique idea there. all right, we've got more news to bring to you. the u.s. president has begun laying the groundwork for possible air strikes on isis militants in syria. >> way, and we will have that story and more after this commercial break. do stay with us. when i had my first migraine, i was lucky. that sounds crazy, i know. but my mom got migraines, so she knew this would help.
