u.s. jihadi. a young man becomes the first american to dion the battle fields of syria fighting alongside isis. gaza celebrates the long-term cease-fire takes hold.

a look at what comes next. tough and complex. vladimir putin threatens ukraine with trade sanctions during a face-to-face meeting with the crisis. a fight over leg room. should the person sitting behind you be able to stop you. >> to make someone else comfortable. everyone is crowded in there together. welcome back together, everyone. i'm errol barnet. >> i'm isa soares. thanks for joining us in the united states and around the world. all right. we can begin with an encouraging sign this morning. you're looking at live pictures out of gaza city. clear skies there now on the first full day of a new cease-fire between israel and

the palestinians. it's just past 10:00 in the morning. 7:00 p.m. local time tuesday. it's now just past 10:00. we're seeing no signs so far of any violations. >> what makes this agreement different is it has no expiration date. both sides have agreed to return to cairo for more talks. >> let's walk through some of the key points of this cease-fire. egyptian officials have agreed to ease a blockade of gaza. it will allow humanitarian aid and building supplies into gaza. israel has agreed to extend the fishing limit to 6 meters. ben wedeman will bring you that. >> let's take a look at some of the celebrations in gaza city.

here's ian lee. >> reporter: after 50 days of fighting, the people of gaza are taking a collective sigh of relief. they've been pent up in their homes, in shelters, while the gaza strip has been bombarded. now they're celebrating. the palestinian political leaders are claiming this a victory and so are the people here. they're waiving the different factions. you have the green flag of hamas and the yellow flag of fattah. what they got out of this deal is an easing of the blockade, opening of the borders to allow humanitarian aid and extension of their fishing to six miles off the coast. how do you feel? do you feel relief. >> i feel that we are alive.

>> hamas and all the other political borders have accomplished a victory for all the people here. in ice rail the reaction is much more low key. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did not put it to a cabinet vote. one senior israeli official i spoke with defended the cease fire saying israel had crippled hamas's infrastructure destroying thousands of missiles killing in his words 1,000 militants dug by hamas. while both sides provide their spin, results of the fighting speak for themselves. more than 2100 killed. more than half a million displaced.

in israel, nearly 70 killed while thousands living near the gaza border have flid to safer ground. at this point it's not clear at all if this cease-fire will hold. this is the third major flairup between israel and gaza in the last six years. few are confident it will be the last. ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. ian lee in gaza. now we're joined by reza sayah in cairo. reza, these cease-fire deals emerge, they fall apart. this goes pack and forth. how do negotiators get to this point. it looks like they dusted off an old cease fire from two years ago. >> reporter: it certainly does. an initiative was on the table according to the egyptians and the palestinians eight days ago. essentially this is the same

initiative that the israelis, according to the palestinians, rejected. it obviously makes you wonder why did it take this long to reach this point. why did so many more people have to die before we reached this point. obviously that's a question that will probably never be answered. this agreement is, indeed, an indefinite cease-fire that stops the fighting. that's good news. what shouldn't get lost is that by no means is this a ground breaking deal, a watershed moment because of the simple fact that the core demands, the core issues on both sides have yet to be a he is dr.ed. what these two sides were fighting for. they didn't get according to this initiative. the israelis, they wanted hamas to be disarmed. they wanted gaza to be demilitarized. they wanted divisions between hamas and the palestinian authorities. arguably hamas and the palestinian authorities and the

other palestinian factions are as united as ever. the palestinians wanted a sea port, an airport. they didn't get any of that in this particular initiative, but, again, the good news is the fighting has stopped for now and this agreement calls on both sides to come here to cairo at some point. we don't know when. to talk about those big issues, those core demands, errol. we've seen the scenario before over the past several weeks and years. every time they fail to reach resolution but this seems to be another opportunity to make something happen. >> yeah. reza, one thing that stood out to me, the opening between the rafa border crossing. that wasn't mentioned at all in this cease-fire deal. i'm wondering if that stood out to you or does it speak to what's necessary now to get any kind of deal that avoids the specifics, avoid the big issues

just to keep both sides at the table. >> yeah, errol, i don't think the issue of the rafa crossing was a great surprise. technically egypt can open that border crossing but obviously that would upset the relationship between israel and egypt that is a delicate one. it would upset the peace accord that they've had for 35 years. that, in turn, would upset washington which is israel's biggest backer. another reason why egypt didn't open the rafa crossing. remember, they consider hamas linked to the muslim brotherhood. they've declared both of those groups terrorist organizations. that's another reason they opened the rafa crossing. that's another issue that will be on the table when the two sides get here to cairo and engage in the indirect negotiations. it would make a lot of palestinians happy. so far the egyptians haven't budged on the issue of opening

the rafa crossing. >> that's what makes it so difficult. you have the israelis negotiating with hamas and you have the new egyptian organization has its own priorities not to mention the u.s. reza sayah bringing us up to speed from cairo this morning. thanks very much. now the ukrainian and russian presidents both gave hopeful statements after a face-to-face meeting in minsk. the prospects for peace remain uncertain. vladimir putin called talks with president poroshenko hopeful. he warned his counterpart not to escalate violence and threaten economic sanctions against kiev. he called cease-fire negotiations an internal matter.

>> translator: we can't talk about any possible agreements. it's not a matter for us, it's ukraine's internal matter. we can contribute to the atmosphere of trust which i believe is very necessary. we talked about that. >> translator: we demonstrated that the main goal that would come to minsk with is peace. ukraine needs peace today. the citizens of luhansk, need peace. the cities which are under occupation today and where people are tired of living in a state of war in the 20th century. that's why they demanded decisive action to bring peace to the ukraine soil. >> ukraine made a video of ten soldiers captured in eastern ukraine. we're joined live from

sloviansk. let's talk about the meeting between the russian president and the ukrainian. he went on to talk about trade completely avoiding the war in ukraine. how is this meeting being received in kiev? >> reporter: well, vladimir putin has always maintained that he will try to orchestrate a good environment so that piece can be achieved on the ground here and that it doesn't have anything to do with russia. that's why petro poor ro porosh wants to sail the border. putin has made promises before. none of them have happened. that border is opened.

it still can be crossed. there are no fences along the 22 2000 kilometer border. the pair a troopers managed to cross over without anyone really noticing them. as far as ukraine is concerned, this is the habitual policy, if you will, of frustration on the part of the russian president. he's made promises before. he hasn't done much about it. this conflict, however much he denies it, is fueled by russian fighters, russian weapons as evidenced by the fact that russian pair a troopers found themselves on ukrainian soils two days ago. >> what can you tell us about the russian pair a troopers? what more are you hearing? >> well, the ukrainian government issued video testimonies and we can hear from one of them in a second who said that he didn't intend or didn't

realize that they were going to be crossing into ukraine for military purposes. one of them said we only realized that we crossed the border when we saw other military vehicles with the ukraine and when we came under fire. let's listen to what one of them said in that testimony. >> mr. putin said at those talks in minsk that he hoped the ukrainian government wouldn't make a big deal of these prisoners or of these paratroopers now imprisoned by the ukranians but ukraine said, really, this is a mistake?

surely you're let troops don't accidentally cross into another country's sovereign territories. so whilst they have talks which yield some results, you have this going on on the ground and it doesn't really seem to add up. >> and, dina, when you look at the russian paratroopers, is there any sign that putin or poroshenko is willing to compromise and reach a deal? >> reporter: again, mr. putin isn't really in the running for a deal because he says this isn't his problem. as far as petro poroshenko is concerned, he wants this rebellion crushed. he wants to push the rebels out once and for all. and the assault on the last two rebels strong holds of donetsk and luhansk seems to be that but it does also seem to be in a deadlock right now.

the ukrainian army did make quite significant ranss but they are fighting hard around the two cities without much progress as far as we can tell. it is difficult as a caveat for us to assess the situation because it's very difficult for us to cross the front lines and see what's going on, especially in luhansk all the while the humanitarian situation in luhansk getting more dire for the people who might be there. >> dina joining us from sloviansk where it's quarter past 10. coming up, they are extremely anti-western but the islamic group isis is believed to have americans within its ranks. after the break we'll show you one u.s. citizen who decided to fight and die in syria for isis. yes. we'll hear from a young man from brittain. you'll hear him explain why he joined isis after this.

welcome back. the journalist freed on sunday is now back home in the united states. his release came just days after isis militants executed fellow journalist james foley. now that execution was meant as

a warning to the u.s. to stop airstrikes against isis fighters in iraq. curtis was greeted by his mother nancy late tuesday in boston. he had been held by 22 months by fighters believed to be connected with the connected al nusra front. they did not pay a ransom. nancy curtis spoke about her feelings just hours before finally seeing her son again. >> i don't think anybody's in the mood for celebration. we're relieved. after the events of the past few weeks and knowing that those other children of my friends are in danger, no. i have conflicted emotions. >> another american was killed in syria over the weekend, but they say douglas mccain was no journalist, he was there to fight and die for isis.

u.s. officials say there are many more like him and they're worried about what could happen if they ever return. our jim sciutto reports. >> reporter: he's an american with an all-american name douglas mcarthur mccain. this 33-year-old man from san diego went to fight and die in syria for isis. terror groups the u.s. officials call the gravest of threats. it was of a all an isis fighter who beheaded james foley. they were notified by the state department monday that he was killed over the weekend. his uncle kenneth told me, quote, we are devastated and we are just as surprised. he was raised christian but converted to islam. mccain had past run-ins in 2003 with possession of marijuana and suspended license. he was traveling to turkey a few

months ago. that was the last they saw of him. this is the first american to die fighting as a jihadi. killed in may detonating a truck bomb near a syrian military base. he was seen tearing up his u.s. passport and urging others to join the fight. >> you think you are 1? >> he was fighting for al nusra, an al qaeda tied terror group. mccain is the first american known to be killed fighting for isis. more than 100 americans are fighting as jihad disin syria and more than 1,000 westerners. u.s. officials tell cnn that he was on a terror watch list. the state department says they are doing their best to track others. >> we've increased our capacity. we've increased our tracking. we've increased our coordination. clearly this is a threat that we take seriously enough to put

front and center of our agenda. >> reporter: the fear now that when they return home they may bring jihad with them. it's believed isis has recruited thousands of new members. james foley's video is used as a recruiting tools. >> we spoke exclusively with two foreign jihadists who say they admire the brutal execution. watch this. >> reporter: the videotaped killing of james foley wasn't just a message to america, it was also a recruitment video for young men like these. >> my initial reaction was that this was a direct by the u.s. against the islamic state. >> we've spoken to two foreign fighters before. one of this em is british. they claim to be absolute

believers in isis's medieval view of the world. >> reporter: do you personally believe in beheading and executions like this and would you actually partake in one? >> i would be more than honored to partake in execution like this. i hope god gives me the chance to do such a thing as the brother did with james foley whether it is on somebody like james foley or a soldier in america. my hands are ready to do this blessed act. >> the muslim council of brittain has come out condemning the killing of foley saying it is brutal and abhorrent and that anybody who follows this belief is misguided. what's your response to that? >> the council of brittain, they are against us. they have always fought against muslim. they've tried to stop young men going to afghanistan, syria.

they're antiextremists. they are not muslims. this reaction coming from them is not surprising. >> reporter: who are these young men willing to commit such brutality? of brittain's nearly 3 million muslims, only an estimated 400 to 500 have gone to fight in syria, roughly the same amount of muslims currently enlisted in the british army. they paint a diverse picture of british muslim extremists. most are single men under the age of 30 but a significant number are older and married with children. many are converts to islam or are british born muslims from immigrant families. many are also deepening their extremist ideology online. some have links to gangs and the criminal underworld, but many are also well educated and from middle class families. so intelligence analysts say there is no one statistical profile or trigger that leads young men to such extremes.

the last time we spoke both insisted they would not return home. that has now changed. abu bakr in particular seems willing to come to brittain and bring his jihad with him. >> come back and try to stop you with a very reasonable message. so i'm ready to take the step to come back if your army, if your countries don't stop attacking us. >> reporter: any fighter bringing their so called holy war back home is exactly what many western officials fear most. >> just chilling. that exclusive report. u.s. president barack obama has been presented with options going after isis in syria. we'll take a closer look. the former advisor to syria is in 15 minutes. coming up on cnn, one man who is mad about music.

>> we'll head to brazil. san paolo. a collector who is taking his hobby to new heights. stay with us.

it's a passion of mass proportions. a man in brazil has amassed the largest vinyl record collection in the world. >> which is very cool. after decades of collecting he now owns, get this, several million albums. couldn't possibly listen to them all. >> i think i've got one. >> i don't think i have any. >> that's our age. >> we went to san paolo to see what he plans to do with them all. >> reporter: he calls himself a hunter. a hunter of lost sound. this is rare, he says. i'm taking this home. his obsession has made him the largest collector of vinyl. everyone thinks i'm obsessed with albums, but it's an

obsession with memory and history of brazil and all kind. a brazilian man who studied musical composition, he's been collecting music his whole life. he owned 3,000 in high school and 30,000 by the time he was 30. the bulk of his collection estimated at 5 million is here at a former candle factory. now he wants to make them available to the public and he's taken on 17 interns to help him do it. they clean and dust, photograph the covers, and painstakingly catalog each one. about 500 records a day. they've cataloged a total of 250,000, a drop in the bucket. but he hopes to open what he calls a musical emporium next year, a kind of listening library. 90% of the time people are looking for something from their childhood, he says. culturally irrelevant, but for

that person extremely important. i asked him what's been most important for him. a signed album by brazilian classical compose jer and a rare recording bought for $1 on ebay. ♪ ♪ cnn, san paolo. >> we were just getting to the good part there. i wanted to hear more. duke ellington there. >> great collection. >> mr. freitus, lucky man, indeed. good collection. we've got more news to come to you on cnn. the u.s. president has authorized surveillance flights over syria. what else needs to be done to stop isis? we'll examine u.s. military options next. plus, passengers getting up in arms over the need for more leg room in the plane. we'll explain just ahead. ns.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm isa soares. >> and i'm errol barnett. prospects for peace in eastern ukraine is uncertain after a meeting between the russian and ukrainian president in belarus. petro poroshenko says they'll start soon to achieve a cease-fire with russian separatists. ukraine says they must hold their own talks but that moscow is willing to assist. the skies over gaza city are clear this morning as a new open-ended cease-fire between israel and the palestinians seems to be holding.

future talks take place in cairo. u.s. officials tell cnn an american was killed in syria over the week end while fighting as an isis militant. douglas mccain was not the first american to join islamic extremists in syria and analysts fear others like him who survive may come back to terrorize the united states. the u.s. state department says president obama has been presented with a whole range of military options for syria. no word yet though on what comes next. our barbara starr has details from the pentagon. >> reporter: from president obama a threat and a promise. >> justice will be done. we have proved time and time again we will do what's necessary to capture those who harm americans and we'll continue to take direct action where needed to protect our people and to defend our homeland. >> reporter: but as the u.s.

prepares to potentially militarily confront isis -- >> i'm not going to talk about intelligence. >> reporter: an administration official tells cnn that drones have flown over the attack near syria to pick up whatever intelligence they can about isis troops, convoys, weapons and training camping inside syria. u.s. sass lights have gathered some information. communications are being monitored, but now the u.s. needs to get real time intelligence. it will be tough. one of the type of drones being used, sources say, a global hawk like this. it can fly up to 60,000 feet and especially equipped to gather targeting information on fixed and mobile targets, exactly the

type of information on isis the u.s. wants. washington will not acknowledge if drones have penetrated syrian sites. once the intel is in hand, would u.s. bombers have to cross into syria to strike? perhaps. one option, b 1 bombers flying at high altitude dropping precision bombs, but many say airstrikes alone will not defeat isis. >> these isolated military actions can only result in more difficulty. the president needs to put together a security team and put together a plan. >> reporter: u.s. officials say one problem with airstrikes, they might help bashar al assad whose forces are also battling isis militants. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. well, for more on u.s. military options in syria, i

spoke with janine davidson at the council for foreign relations and a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary. i asked her about the limits of reconnaissance alone. >> you need boots often the ground to get a certain type of intelligence, but there are a lot of things you can get with air power, drones, ariel sur vile lance. i mean, these fighters, they do have training sites that are probably visible and also they're moving in between places. there are things that you can see. you're absolutely right, eventually there's only so much you can do without knowing what's going on on the ground especially as the isis fighters move into the urban areas or retreat back into the urban areas. >> so what do you say would be the comprehensive strategy the u.s. gloft is currently looking at? >> i think what you're hearing from the administration. people want to hear more but i

think what you're hearing is the cautious and long term and with an important understanding that there's only so much the united states or even the international community or outside actors can do in the long term to end this problem. stopping isis is not the same thing as defeating them and so i think you're hearing president obama say the u.s. can't do everything but we can help. we need to take a long-term approach. it needs to be regional. we have to come together with the threat. at the end of the day it is a long-term approach that is regionally oriented. >> what do you think it will take to defeat isis in iraq and syria. >> i think the first thing we have to do is stop thinking about the syria problem and the

iraq problem in two completely separate ways. they are separate in some ways dealing with assad is very different than dealing with the iraqi government but it should not be a barrier for acting in syria. we have to look at the swath of land that isis has taken and what they consider to be their state and deal with it in that respect. then stopping them, like i said, is not the same thing as defeating them. stopping them, we can do that. we can push them back on their heels with air power. we've already done that out of iraq. but in the long term this -- and i'm talking not just weeks and months, i'm talking like this could be a long-term effort where the actors in the region and the united states can do a lot to bring them together into a coalition to come up with a strategy. they have got to be the ones that reject this group and they have got to be the ones that put their own boots on the ground to fight them back. >> long-term we're talking about. thank you very much for your time.

>> my pleasure. thank you. now the world health organization is calling for a crackdown on electronic cigarettes. ecigs as they're known wants to ban people from smoking them indoors. i see this in bars and places over the u.s. it's become quite popular. a new report saying the nicotine laced water vapor from ecigs. it's estimated to be worth $3 billion a year. now still to come on cnn, we take you to the front lines of the war against ebola. >> yeah. we'll meet doctors who put themselves at risk trying to save others.

welcome back. health authorities say the deadly ebola virus is spreading as an unpress departmented level, especially as an increasing number of health care workers become in effected. the world health organization has temporarily pulled its staff from a center in sierra leone. this comes after a worker contracted the virus just last week. the who also says 120 health care workers have died from ebola since the outbreak happened this year. the director from the centers for disease control issued this. >> this is an absolute emergency. we have never seen anything on this scale with ebola before and

unfortunately it's going to get worse before it gets better. we have not yet turned the tide. the outbreak is ahead of our response and the critical block now is getting treatment units up around the country as rapidly as possible but ensuring safety at all steps. >> so this outbreak is a massive problem. there are so many hurdles in trying to combat the outbreak. public health experts say there is a shortage of protective gear as well as reports of improper use of this clothing and equipment. we caught up with doctors serving on the front lines fighting against ebola in monrovia. >> this doctor could be any chief of staff in any clinic in the world, but he's not. he's leading the team running the world's largest ever ebola treatment center at the heart of

the largest outbreak the world has seen. a quarter of the dead are health care workers. after 14 years as an ebola specialist, breker is unphased. >> you get here and you start working here and you start working long enough, you see the suffering and you see that all the things that ee bow ra can do but you see what's done to control the disease and you take some level of reassurance from those procedures. you say, okay, this is something i can handle. >> reporter: the procedures are as thorough as they can be. goggles, gloves, plastic gowns. every inch of flesh covered. there is always still a risk for the staff that enter the high risk ward. that's where the ebola cases are admitted. men, women, and children all hoping they will overcome the killer in their midst. behind the patients bodies lined

up for the morgue. across town we went to visit a doctor in his home. he was working at the catholic hospital when he contracted the virus. miraculously he survived. even more miraculously, he has every intention of going back to work. >> i want to serve liberians because i went in there and i saw and i want too do my very best because from what i saw there, lots needs to be done to save hundreds if not thousands of lives. >> reporter: new tents are going up on the center's compound. they're at capacity here and

we're told these tents are also expected to fill quickly. >> reporter: is it worth the risk? >> oh, yeah. it is something that touches a very human part of us. it makes us very scared. we have to say there's hope that we'll get through this. we have to be a part of it and allow people to know that life will get back to normal at some point. >> it could be months before this epidemic is brought fully under control. until then, people will need all the help they can get to believe that going back is possible. >> great report there. now for those of you watching from outside the states, cnn international is bringing you coverage on the outbreak. we'll be joined by health experts. tune in for that at 19:30 from

london. still to come on cnn, take a look at this piece of plastic. well, it's creating quite a stir in the skies. we'll explain after a short break.

now it's a device designed to make air travel more comfortable. >> yes, designed to do that, but it's not really doing such a great job because on a recent united airlines flight it

created a ruckus. jeanne moos looks at how the knee defender also might be a knee offender. >> reporter: a new air war has broken out. the air space over your knees. >> the knee defender is a device that keeps people from reclining their airline seat into your knees. >> reporter: you put what amounts to two hunks of plastic on your try to avoid the seat from going back. >> you get your legs crunched? >> sometimes. i grin and bear it. >> reporter: no one was grinning on a flight from newark to denver that had to be diverted to chicago after a flight broke out. a 48-year-old passenger deployed the knee defender to stop the seat of the female passenger in front of him. when she couldn't recline, they told the guy to remove the gadget. he refused. the female passenger threw water in his face. they were both kicked off the plane. oh, sure, when it happens to

others, it's he if uny. but as this reviewer joked. >> the captain has shut off the device. >> the 6'3" ira goldman invented it. this was one of the early versions. the seat won't recline. >> now it looks like this and sells for 21.95. in the words of a traveller, as devious as it is ingenius. everyone we talked to agreed. >> they're evil. >> reporter: why is it terrible? >> to make someone else uncomfortable. >> it causes confliction and someone pays for their seats. >> reporter: the knee defender comes with a courtesy card for you to hand with the passenger in front of you. i have provided you with this card because i have long legs

and if you recline the seat you will back into my knees. the story about the fight on the plane seemed to be great for the knee defender's business. the website crashed due to unexpectedly heavy demand. whether you consider it a knee defender or knee to the flying public's groin, can't we all just remember what louis c.k. says about the wonder of flying? >> you're sitting in a chair in the sky. >> reporter: jeanne moos, cnn, new york. what do you think? >> see, i actually see where the inventor is coming from. >> genius. >> he's 6 foot plus as am i. i travel quite a lot. it's defendant when you sit in the seat. the few inches does a lot to he is folks with big lexx. >> i don't know if i would spend the money on it. pedram is 6 foot.

>> i don't know about your god given right. that's pushing it. >> this was a short flight. that's a couple hours. >> yes. >> i like it. i probably would buy it. definitely. i think there are times you could use it. definitely not during lunch, dinner, that sort of thing. >> absolutely. >> viewers look out for isa on your plane. >> on a plane soon. >> absolutely, guys. we're going to talk about what's happening across portions of california right now. a lot of people talking about the coast of california being really inundated in recent days by pretty significant waves. this is coming in court si of nasa. hurricane marie. at one point it was a category 5. it's 900 miles from los angeles. 1500 kilometers. look at the scenes out of malibu. a video showing you the surf already picking up.

we know california state park officials closing malibu pier now. a pier was knocked loose in the afternoon. unfortunately a surfer losing his life being out in the open waters. life guards tried cpr. the man was later pronounced dead. malibu pier closed. some areas on the southeastern facing coast line is dangerous. here's marie at this hour again way away from los angeles. it will stay that way as it pushes to the north and west. labor day weekend approaching. that's the concern here for folks trying to make it back to the beach and wanted to get on the wa tergs because it is quite warm across southern california the next couple of days. that certainly is not going to help with what's happening in that region. want to take you out to south korea. this is the satellite

perspective. population, 3.6 million people, the size of los angeles. five people have lost their lives, five people still considered missing across this region. in fact, train service shut down. nuclear power plant, a cooling facility there impacted and with this significant flooding has taken place causing a lot of property damage. the good news with all of this, guys, the rainfall finally tapering off. they've seen 600 millimeters so far this year, that's 25 inches. this month one of the wettest months. >> they need a break. >> a break is in the forecast. thanks, pedram. before we leave you this hour which we must do, i want to introduce you to a character named shawn. lives on a sheep farm in oakland's australia. he's there to prove he's the woolliest sheep. >> he's very woolly.

the farmer says he's been running around without a haircut in the past six years. his cashmere coat has gotten so big he can barely move. >> his wool weighed 25 kilograms, 55 pounds for those of you in the u.s. that could shatter the world record held by a new zealand sheep. >> errol seems to think it's not the sheep that is slow, it's the farmers. >> he was taking his time. he was sauntering around. >> i like shawn. >> you like shawn the sheep? >> yeah. and that does it for us here at cnn center. i'm isa soares. >> and i'm errol barnett. thanks for being with us. thanks for being with us.
