target isis near mosul, the u.n. plans to investigate atrocities allegedly carried out by isis in iraq and syria. our correspondent has details now on the brutality carried out by isis hillitanmilitants who a control of mosul. >> when isis took control of iraq's second largest city back in june, it sent shock waves throughout the country and the region. alienated by the maliki government and persecuted guy his security forces, mosul was fertile ground for the militants. but nearly three months after isis raised its black banner over the city, the residents describe heavy-handed oppression and brutality under the rule of these islamic extremists. >> when they first came to mosul, they told us they would protect us, and that this was a revolution, explained this man. too afraid to reveal his identity. but after the people got ton
11:03 pm
isis, they felt hatred towards them. the people of mosul live in fear of arrest, punishment, and death, with eyewitness reports of a young man accused of adultery, publicly stoned to death. conditions in the city are deteriorating, the shortages of power, food, and medicine. >> translator: we are afraid to even go out. we must wear a veil and be accompanied by a male relative. the best freedom is staying inside your house. we have known true islam for years, but we've never seen anything like this. >> it was here in mosul that the isis leader made his only appearance as the self-declared caliph of a new islamic sect. but to the residents, his vision bears no resemblance to their beliefs. >> translator: 1400 years we've believed in islam and we've never seen this. how is it possible that he came up with a whole different
11:04 pm
interpretation of islam. this is a stupid interpretation. he ads that isis forces them to swear allegiance or death. for this man, it's been torture, with family and friends still in mosul. >> i speak to my family on the phone, they say, we wish we would die, only to be free. we never wanted to live under their control. all the people of mosul are now imprisoned. >> they believe there are people planning to resist isis. last week, a group claiming to be in armed opposition to the militants posted this video. but the businessmen say, isis and its supporters are too powerful and can't be defeated without outside assistance. a move that would involve enormous risk. >> translator: we fear they will use the people of mosul as human shields. we need the international community to help. >> reporter: but if no one comes to their rescue, they morbidly

believe the only safe haven for the people of mosul is death. >> and an attack in baghdad has left 13 people dead and 45 wounded. two car bombs exploded on two commercial streets in a predominantly shia area in the southwest of the iraqi capital. britain's prime minister is responding to the threat of isis by calling for a new law. david cameron said british police need the ability to seize the passports of would-be jihadists. >> david cameron calls for sbeeping new anti-terror measures. >> passports are not an automatic rights. >> they want lawmen to have temporary power to take passports. >> we'll introduce targeted legislation to fill this gap by
11:06 pm
providing the police with the temporary power to seize a passport at border, during which time they'll be able to investigate the individual concerned. >> the uk government raised its terror threat level on friday to substantial to severe. that means a terrorist attack is highly likely, but there's no intelligence to suggest an attack is imminent. u.s. officials say there are no plans to issue a terror alert. >> the most detailed assessment i can offer from here, is that there's no evidence or indication right now that isil is actively plotting to attack the united states' home. >> but the fear is that westerners, including americans returning home could launch attacks after fighting for iraq and syria. >> it's ob horent that people who declare their allegiance elsewhere, are able to return to the united kingdom. >> they estimate 500 brits have
11:07 pm
joined militant groups, a statistic when a man with an apparent british accent took part in american james foley's execution. >> the threat is much greater in the uk and that's why you're seeing a raft of new measures in the uk to try to tackle this problem. very worried isis may try to retaliate in some form of way. >> u.s. officials say about 100 americans have joined islamist militants in syria, a dozen of them joining isis. the national security council would comment, but says the u.s. is in constant touch with the uk about any threat. pamela brown, cnn, washington. >> all right, we want to turn now to pakistan. that's where prime minister sharrif plans to address both houses of the national sebly within the hour. the prime minister is clinging to power, despite weeks of anti-government protests. saima mosin is there.
11:08 pm
and joins us live. pakistan's prime minister has said stepping down is out of the question. so what is he likely to say today? >> reporter: well, as you say, not likely to step down, certainly adamant he won't because he has a democratic right to be prime minister. he came to governance in an election, he says, in a democratic election. of course all the protesters out there, a couple hundred meters away from us right now, will hope that perhaps he will step down today, in some kind of dramatic announcement. to be honest, we think that's unlikely. what we think he's likely, according to our sources, that he will appeal to parliament and the senate, appeal to those who have seats in their constituencies to support him, to back him, and to back his government. rosemary? >> given the numbers on the
11:09 pm
street, how likely is it that with this pressure mounting, he'll be able to hold on to power, and how much concern is there for the possibility of military intervention here beyond the role of course that we've already seen them playing, you know, trying to basically protect these buildings? >> caller: we >> reporter:. it's interesting. if you look at the numbers, there aren't that many. and they've dwindled. the protest started two and a half weeks ago on the independence day. they marched on to the capital, but then, if you take a look at the disarray, if you take a look at the clashes that have been breaking out, that is certainly putting pressure on the prime minister. yesterday, we were in the thick of it when protests broke out and spread across the capital. take a look at this. >> reporter: hundreds of protesters took over the pakistan television building, taking the channel off air for a
11:10 pm
short time. the police were nowhere to be seen. the military has been asked to guard state institutions. >> soldiers are marching into the state broadcaster. the protesters have not managed to breach this area before or get so close. >> many of them, though, clearly happy to see the military, despite concerns by some, about military intervention. >> as we're going in, people are patting us on the back, shouting, long live the army. they sealed off the area. pushing protesters back. police, today, it seemed, taking a back seat. but the protesters hadn't tired. from what we can tell, hundreds of protesters charged up from
11:11 pm
main constitution avenue where the main protest is, and the sit-in is, they came here, this area was where police had positioned themselves. police have now stood up in full riot gear and confronted the protesters. the protesters spread out, trying to take more ground. we saw police charging them, but soon, they came running back. >> police fired tear gas, aimlessly into the crowd. so much of it, the air was thick with the milky white fumes. there was no clear indication of a plan here. some had no interest in facing the protesters. others, calling on their colleagues to unite. many fighting with each other. we saw protesters with chains, handcuffs, and even a noose, meant, they told me, for the prime minister, who says stepping down is out of the
11:12 pm
question. >> now, if you take a look at what we witnessed there, standing amidst the police, i think that's a reflection not only of the public sentiment, some people support this protest. others feel it's inappropriate for a very fragile democracy. then we also saw them arguing amongst themselves. the police is not a friendly kind of local bobby here. basically the police are considered to be politically affiliated and after the clashes that have broken out over the weekend, certainly protesters are not willing to pay heed to the police or their writ for law and order. that's why we're seeing the military having to step in time and again. the military has, under a constitutional article, been asked to step in to protect state institutions. but what we're seeing more and more, rosemary, as you pointed out, is them having to come intervene, and that's a huge concern here. >> watching what's happening
11:13 pm
there and waiting to hear what pakistan's prime minister has to say, within the hour. saima, many thanks to you. john? >> u.s. military forces carried out an operation against militants in somalia on monday. the pentagon wouldn't release further details, but say it's evaluating the results of that operation. also on monday, african union forces say they liberated a number of somali towns from al shabab. the u.s. declared the al qaeda linked group a terrorist organization in 2008. al shabab is trying to overthrow somalia's government and the group regularly launches attacks in somalia as well as neighboring countries. >> we'll take a very short break. just ahead, rebels are advancing in eastern ukraine, and ukraine is blaming russia. we'll have the latest in a live report from kiev.

>> welcome back, well, a surge by moscow separatists has government forces on the run in ukraine's east. ukrainian president blames the power shift on open aggression from russia. nato is expected to create a rapid reaction force this week, to respond to the russian threat in eastern europe. kiev says a russian tank attacked a number of airfields monday, just after moscow warned ukraine's military to retreat from civilian areas.
11:17 pm
>> translator: direct and open aggression has been launched against ukraine from a neighboring state. this has changed the situation in the zone of conflict in a radical way and raises new question for security bodies. >> as civilian casualties mount innee yef's battle for control in eastern ukraine, many people who live there are turning their anger, not toward russia, but toward their own president. our diana magnay has that part of the story in donetsk. >> poroshenko will have a hard time winning back hearts and minds in this city as the people sweep up the debris, they are hardened against a president they say is killing his own people. >> translator: we are ukrainian, but they kill us. so we probably need our own country. because these people in kiev, they are not brothers to us. the shells hit these homes days ago, but the tears are still

ukraine. >> let's go live to kiev. ukraine's defense minister accusing russia of launching a great war. russia's president reportedly boasting that his forces can sweep into kiev in just weeks. nato forming a rapid reaction force. so where's the off-ramp here? >> yeah, john, the off-ramp could be potentially what developed yesterday in belarus. of course yesterday in belarus, you had all sides of this conflict meeting, and seemingly representatives of the russians and separatists seemed to ease off their position and demand for an independent state in southeastern ukraine, and essentially suggesting they would be okay with autonomy, some sort of self-determination, and in return, they would respect the sovereignty of ukraine. that position seems to match what moscow wants, what russian president vladimir putin wants.
11:21 pm
remember, he wants the southeastern ukraine, the ethnic russian regions to have some sort of autonomy under what would be a federalized state. so if that's the rebels' position, that would seem to create some sort of opening, and that would seem to put the ball back in the court of kiev. and we're waiting to see what their response is going to be, but it appears that there could be an opening for some sort of negotiated solution, although there's no indication we're close to that yet, john. >> and at the same time, renewed fighting in the east. it seems the rebels have been making significant gains. what's the latest there? >> yeah, it's been pretty much a disastrous week for ukrainian force rs. they have suffered serious losses, hundreds of ukrainian soldiers retreating, many of them injured or killed. losing significant ground as well. one of the significant losses yesterday was the lieu hansk
11:22 pm
airport. it was an airfield and airport that was under the full control of ukrainian forces until yesterday. but then government officials acknowledged and confirmed they lost the airport. they simply told the ukrainian forces to retreat, this after the airport came under attack from rebels backed by russian tanks and forces, they claim here in kiev. of course russia denies they have tanks and troops in ukraine. whatever the case, the ukrainian forces retreated. that critical airfield, now under the control of rebels. another indication that the momentum in this fight is shifting in favor of the pro-russian rebels. >> thank you. all right, when we come back, an international hunt for a young cancer patient ends in spain. his family is speaking out. hear what they're saying about how they're being treefted. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea. treefted. rtreefted. treefted. atr. . .

their fate. >> i just want to say that we love you so much. >> their son who has been posting regular updates on facebook, told us that not even his brothers and sisters are being allowed to see asher. >> it is kind of like treating asher also as a criminal. so for my parents not being able to see him, and they're treating all our family as criminals because they're not allowing us to go and see him. so for us, we have attempted to go and see him, not personally, but my older brother has and he's been denied entry. >> we regret that the communication and the relationship broke down to the extent that the family lost trust in the team that were caring for him. what we're really pleased about is that our first concern is for asher's safety and that he is in an appropriate setting to be cared for so any risks can be minimized. we've learned further detail of

>> can you tell me about the conditions at the labor camp? >> condition in labor camp, i'm working eight hours a day, six days a week, and working agriculture work to other hard labor that is required to do every day. >> do you feel you're being treated humanely? >> yes. >> and your message to your family? >> well, i'm sure they're very worried about my health at this time, and even though right now, last month and a half, my health -- or no, it's been failing. what i can say to my family and friends, that is, continue to pray for me, and also ask them to continue effort in getting me released here. >> bay's been in north korea for almost two years, two other americans were arrested separately in april.

11:35 pm
in 2007, trying to negotiate the release of the bodies of american soldiers. you were there just last year with the chairman of google. so you have a lot of experience in dealing with north koreans. the narrative seems to be by parading these americans in front of the camera, the north koreans want to talk. so is it too simplistic to assume that if they see a high level envoy like yourself or bill clinton, that the americans would be released? >> i don't think that's the case. it's much more complicated than that. the reason being that the north koreans are sending a signal that they want to negotiate. that's why they're parading the three americans. but i think what the u.s. wants, and i'm not speaking for the u.s., what the u.s. wants is for north korea to take some steps to denuclearize, not to shoot missiles or nuclear detonations, so it's more complicated than just sending a u.s. envoy.
11:36 pm
>> the response from the state department has been to request the release of the three men. that seems like weak tea, but there much more going on behind the scenes that we just don't realize at this stage? >> well, you know, i'm not sure what the administration is doing. i think that this is going to cause, this interview by cnn, is going to cause the administration to make a policy review and try to deal with the nuances of what does it mean to talk to the north koreans directly at the six-party talks, or bilaterally, just the u.s. and north korea? and what steps need to be taken so that these three are released on humanitarian grounds. >> very quickly, is it possible to separate the fate of the three americans away from the issue of denuclearization, or is that just a non-starter? >> probably a non-starter. the north koreans want a linkage. and i think the united states, i think properly so, wants them to
11:37 pm
take some steps, at least a moratorium on detonating any more nuclear weapons. they really have been excessive in their belligerence and their use of these weapons to scare the entire world. so i think something must be worked on. i think it will. so i saw these interviews as a good sign that may start a process of negotiating the rightful release of these three individuals who are obviously suffering. >> bill richardson, thanks so much. we appreciate that. well, let's hope. >> they're holding the three americans, but it was back in march, there was a 75-year-old australian missionary who was arrested in north korea. because he was australian, they apologized and let him go. so clearly there's a political advantage to holding the three americans there. >> we'll watch and see what happens next. >> sure. when we come back here, an emergency in senegal and fears that the numbers of ebola cases

very valuable, i have on an encrypted flash drive, like a usb stick. and that way, when i need to use it, i can plug it in. when i'm not using it, it's not in my computer, it's not in the cloud. somebody would have to break into my house in order to get it. >> the reality is most people are going to keep storing stuff out there, that's what happens with photos and then you have streaming and even if people delete photos, this i found extraordinary. even if they delete their photos from their phone, it's apparently too late. those pictures have already been uploaded. but how long do they actually stay there and remain vulnerable to hacking? >> there's really, that's hard to say. really just depends on the service provider. most likely they'll remain there. so -- unless they go in and delete it. but again, it's okay. i think most people do it because they don't really care if their family picnic photos
11:52 pm
are, you know, stolen. however, clearly certain sensitive photos shouldn't be put online at all, or you jeopardize having that exposed in a way that is going to possibly have very negative consequences for you. >> all right, answer this question for us, if you would. these stolen nude pictures of celebrities all over the internet. you can see it trending on twitter. what happens when people click on those links, click for those photos? what happens to their computers? are they compromised? >> they could be. that's a great point. this is one of the reasons why i think you need to be very careful about not falling for traps online. in the case, for example, one of the actresses, jennifer lawrence, i think most people are cooperating with not posting those pictures online. however, you may see tweets or other links that say click here
11:53 pm
to see nude photos of whomever and that's often a trap. so when you do click it, your computer is now infected and hackers can take control over that computer and remove pretty much everything that's on it. >> all right, thanks so much for sharing your expertise on this matter. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> if someone hacked into your computer -- >> to be concerned? no, i don't think so. i think they would get really bored with all the family shots, actually. >> good to know. >> so don't do it. >> fair enough. >> okay, time for some weather. i guess it's time for hello dolly in the gulf of mexico. >> yes, we knew that was coming in. >> it's my first day back. >> we're glad you're back and great work there from your reporting in the middle east. as we take a look at what's happening across the gulf of mexico. what has been a fairly quiet
11:54 pm
start to the hurricane season, now looks like it is picking up a little bit more intensity. the atlantic basin, which includes the gulf of mexico, here's the coast of mexico, now, we're watching tropical storm dolly, supporting winds at 120 kilometers per hour, or about 75 miles per hour. it's a minimal tropical storm, but we think, rather than moving to the northwest now, that movement will trek more towards the west and affect the coastline of mexico. already some areas picking up some rainfall, but it will really increase over the next 12 to 24 hours, as it moves further toward the coast. here it is, poorly organized, does not have a clearly defined eye, something you would see with a hurricane. but we're picking up some areas on radar. tam pico, brownsville, texas, right at the southern tip of texas, not affected, but some of
11:55 pm
the moisture bumping into the coast right now. the primary concern from this will be heavy surf, and the potential for mudslides. that's typically what we see in these mountainous regions where we could expect up and over 100 millimeters of rainfall. and take a look at china. heavy rain in the forecast in northeastern china, but we've seen some across southwestern china as well. a few across much of the pacific basin. here are the philippines and we're expecting tropical moisture, no clear development. let's show you beijing. they've already picked up some rainfall. more is in store, and we're expecting that the heavy rainfall in a four-tier system, a yellow alert. what you're looking at now, from southwestern china, they're expecting -- they've already seen in some cases, as much as 300 millimeters. rescues have taken place, relief efforts are under way.
11:56 pm
the rain storms pounded this region and produced landslides. already there are reports of as many as ten people killed, and about 30 people reportedly missing in this area, and it look likes the rainfall, another round is expected over the next 12 to 24 hours, but also in beijing, as i mentioned, they are under a yellow alert there, as a stubborn frontal system lies across this region. that will be the trigger mechanism for some of the heavier rainfall on the back side of this area of low pressure, with mostly scattered showers moving out across a good portion of japan. tokyo expecting a few scattered showers there. and the rainfall for hong kong will be intermittent, expect gray skies, still continuing for that area, but the heaviest precipitation, much further to the northeast. john, rosemary? >> nice to see you. >> very wet in asia. okay, it's back-to-school time
11:57 pm
