two major fronts at the annual nato summit in wales. leaders say they are building a coalition of nations to take on the threat of isis in iraq and in syria. the leaders also came down hard on rushia for supporting rebels in eastern ukraine. senior international correspondent nic robertson has our report. >> concern here from nato leaders that while there is a cease-fire agreed in ukraine, that this hey not become a reality as the peace is implemented. they note from the statement over president poroshenko here that important for him in his 12-step plan is the independence territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. that is something that the leaders here say wasn't present in what president putin had talked about in his seven-point plan for peace, that he had talked about a cessation of who is at this times, a removal of ukrainian forces from the southeast of ukraine,

essentially ceding territory to the pro-russian rebels annexation of that area. that according to the nato leaders here is not satisfactory. so a certain level of skepticism as they will watch this play out and intent they say to continue with economic sanctions against russia and the announcements that they've made here about this new rapid reaction force intended to send a clear message to russia. that they will stand behind nato nations should this sort of situation develop in their countries. this is how prime minister british prime minister david cameron explained how this -- how this rapid reaction force would work. >> we've also agreed to step up nato's ability to respond quickly to any threat with a new multiempty national spearhead force which is deployable anywhere in the world within two to five days. >> ukraine not the only issue

here at the nato summit. a lot of discussion in the about isis, the threat they pose to the west. president obama outlining some of the discussions that have been held, discussions between the united states, australia, canada, denmark, france, yaerm, italy, poland, turkey, britain. all of those nations, ten nations involved in discussions about how to combat the threat of isis, how to squeeze down the area they're operating in and then hip dismantle and destroy that jihadist organization. the idea, the summit here was to discuss how those different nato nations could contribute, an idea for sharing intelligence for thwarting isis's ability to raise funds, their financing to monitor the borders more closely, to support the nations in the region that are battling against isis to support those nations that are helping support the new and emerging iraqi

government. president obama also located out some fresh details of how helping and working with sunni tribes in the region could can be very key to defeating isis. >> >> i think it is absolutely critical that we have arab states and specifically sunni majority states that are rejecting the kind of extremist anihilism that we're seeing out of isil, that say that that is not what isil is about and are prepared to join us actively in the fight. >> the message from alt leaders on those core issues that were discussed here, ukraine and tackling isis. are you speaking with a united, strong voice to send a clear message not only to president putin in russia but also a clear message of intent of how they plan to deal with isis and the threat it poses to the nato nations in the coming weeks and

months ahead. nick robertson, cnn, newport, wales. >> now as of this point we are about 16 hours into the cease-fire in ukraine. and from all accounts, it appears to be holding. so many western countries are skeptical about this cease-fire. are these sides any closer to seeing eye to eye on the future of that region? >> reporter: i think when it comes to the big issues, the cor core demands that have caused this impasse, they haven't addressed them yet, but the cease-fire seems to be holding, and that is significant because presumably it's going to set the stage for these sides to tackle those issues. the cease-fire went into effect 6:00 last night. it is a little after 10:00 kiev

time. when the cease-fire went into effect there were some reports of explosions and shellings in southeastern ukraine. it's not clear if the explosions and the shelling happened right before the cease-fire went into effect or right after, but whatever the case, since that time, no reports of fighting during the overnight hours. this agreement was signed yesterday in the city of mensk, belarus. first it was the pro-russian rebel leaders who confirmed that the agreement had been signed. then it was pet row poroshenko. he struck a very conciliatory tone. that human life was the highest

value and his aim was to end the bloodshed. he also hopes these talks will lead to more substantial negotiations about the core issues, and he said this is going to be a 12-point plan. what's been frustrating is that we still haven't been clear on what the 12 conditions, the 12 points are, but we do know among the conditions are obviously an end to the fighting in southeastern ukraine, the pulling out of heavy weapons, the exchanging of soldiers who have been captured during the conflict. and that could happen as early as today, the establishment of the humanitarian corridor where people can leave the area, and humanitarian aid can come in. that can happen today as well and the positioning of international monitors to make sure all sides are meeting these conditions. so now we watch closely the conflict zone to see if these two sides continue to heed this cease-fire agreement, but at this point, george, it looks like there's finally a pause to a conflict that led to the killing of more than 2500

people, injury of more than 10,000 people, 1 million people displaced. so a much-needed pause in this conflict seems to be here, george. >> so the cease-fire seems to be holding at this point. reza, we appreciate your reporting. now to isis and kurdish troops in iraq. cnn was the only news media organization on the front lines. and our anna coren followed along with person merg ga forces. >> reporter: on a dirt road, a long convoy of peshmerga head toward enemy territory. they're gearing up for a major mission to eradicate isis across a 30 kilometer front. this is 4:30 and these soldiers have been up all night, preparing for the attack.

we've been hearing the jets overhead. they've been circling overhead for hours getting ready to strike those positions. at dawn the offensive begins. a barrage of heavy weapons raining down on isis from multiple positions. and these heavy plumes of smoke the result of u.s. air strikes. these islamic extremists sooef seized control of this area back in june. after the advance across iraq. on the other side of the mount tapes are the plains that run directly to the heart of mosul, iraq's second largest city and isis stronghold. these mortar and artillery strikes have been pummeling the five villages at the base of the mountain where u.s. air strikes have also been hitting the top of the mountain. according to the person mer fwa, they have gillkilled a number o militants. this doctor is normally based in

baghdad. he knows they need him now more than ever. >> this is a duty of everybody who wants democracy and freedom and human rights . >> reporter: but while the kurds are looking to create a bigger buffer around their capital, they are positioning themselves to when they could take part in a move within mosul. we've been taken to one of the villages reclaimed in recent weeks, now less than 2 kilometers from the fighting. this is what the fight against isis looks like. the peshmerga taking avillage after village with the help of u.s. air strikes. this is the aim for president obama, degrade and destroy isis. a hard and bloody task according to these soldiers.

>> if you're not careful they will get you and shoot you. you have to be very careful. >> reporter: but during this assault it was the peshmerga who sustained fewer injuries. a number of isis fighters were killed and a number captured. a victory they know won't always be easy in the days ahead. a u.s. chartered plane that was ordered to land in iran has arrived at its intended destination of dubai. the aircraft was carrying 140 passengers, 100 of them americans. it was forced to land in bandar abbas. gentlemjamaken authorities

oil slick may be the site of an unresponsive plane. renee marsh has more. >> reporter: a search mission under way right now for this small plane after it crashed 14 miles after the coast of jamaica. it took off from rochester, new york around 8:45 this morning bound for naples florida. on board, larry glazer and his wife jane. he told air traffic control there was a problem but did not declare an emergency. he was cleared to descend to 25,000 feet but asked to go lower. >> we need to assess down to about 1-8-0. we have an inch cation that is not correct with the plane. >> we need to get lower. >> about an hour and 15 minutes after takeoff, the pilot stopped responding to radio calls.

u.s. military f-15s tracked it along the east coast of florida. one fighter pilot looked through the window. >> right before i left, it was the first time i could see that he was breathing. >> the pilot was slumped over and the plane's windows frosted. boast are signs the pressure may have escaped, leaving the pilot without enough oxygen to stay conscious. four and a half hours after takeoff, the plane crashed near port antonio, jamaica. that type of incident is rare but not unheard of. there was a similar situation last weekend where the faa lost contact with a private plane. it flew into restricted airspace over d.c. the pie hot was unresponsive.

that plane eventually crashed into the atlantic ocean. then there's the incident in 1999 where payne stewart and others were killed in aberdeen, south dakota. in that case, the plane traveled some 1500 miles, most of it while the pilot and everyone else on poured were apparently unconscious or dead. rene marsh, cnn, washington. australian prime minister tony abbott says it is likely there are still remains from mh17 left scattered in fields in ukraine. he made those remarks during a meeting in kuala lumpur on saturday. malaysia plans to send teams back to the crash site as soon as possible and it reiterated the need for a full investigation into the jet's crash. next, a reality check for icloud. apple says it's beefing up security following that infamous

a lot of activity right now. >> indeed. we've had volcanos in the iceland area. we've had another eruption, lateral eruption here, not the big chamber eruption that we very concerned about still happening, but that has not been the case. this is the latest picture from nasa. and there you see that fissure eruption just from the last 24 hours. so there's still lots of activity, but right now the airspace still open and we do not have that main chamber eruption, which will be a nightmare. let's check conditions in afghanistan. we've had incredible amounts of rain, three times their monthly average in 24 to 48 hours. that is going to flood you, wherever you are in the world, if you get that much rain in a short amount of time. and you must understand this is

also a very topography wise, a very high elevation. so when that water falls, it is going to fall down the valleys to where the villages are. let's take a look at some pictures and show you what is going on. there you see, a life threatening situation. a calamity unfolding i must say across this part of the world. we lost 1,000 people a few years ago with similar conditions. but we're up towards, i believe in the 80-range as far as how many fatalities just in the last few days. some villages completely cut off. we have helicopters trying to fly in there and plucking people off from rooftops. that is the situation in pakistan and in portioning of india. and the problem is that they're doing those rescue efforts with more heavy rain. and when you get that heavy rain, that reduces the visibility. so the helicopters can't fly. and people have to just wait and sometimes you wait too long and

the water goes over the rooftops, and it's just a terrible situation. and more rain is going to be on the way. look at the blow of thunderstorm activity here. an unusual pattern because by now we should have the monsoon withdraw, but they have not. they got three times their monthly average. things should be winding down, but they're not. thailand has also seen very heavy rainfall the last 24 to 48 hours. 58 millimeters here, 195 millimeters here. then we have this storm in the east china sea. that is going to dump more rain on an area that is already saturated. we'll have an update on the major hurricane now in the eastern pacific. >> just looking at the power, the sheer force that you showed us. there's though getting around in that water. >> torrential rain and gravity is not a good combination. what should have been an enjoyable experience, kayaking,

turned into a terrifying shark encounter for two women in the united states. the pair made a panicked call for help off a beach in massachusetts. our carol costello has their story. >> help, help! we're stuck in the water! and there's a shark. >> reporter: a chilling call for help as two kayakers try to escape a great white shark off the coast of massachusetts. >> how long will it take? we're really scared! >> reporter: kristin and ida were in separate kayaks taking pictures of seals on wednesday, unaware of the danger lurking below. >> we were just talking and paddling, and i look over to talk to her, and it came completely out of the water and got the bottom of the boat and flipped her over and knocked my kayak completely over. >> reporter: the girls described their terrifying face-to-face encounter with the great white. >> it happened so fast, all of a sudden. i was talking to her.

and next thing i know i'm in the water, and i just see a shark as close as you are to me, biting my kayak. >> i saw at least four feet of its head. four feet of it came up out of the water. >> reporter: in a panic, the girls somehow managed to call for help and waited for half an hour, not knowing if the shark would return. >> the scariest part was sitting in the water, waiting, wondering if where he was, you didn't know if he was under you or around you. >> reporter: cnn, new york. >> makes you think twice about getting in the water, doesn't it? still to come, working together to destroy isis. we'll bring you the details of nato's action. and tackling the spread of ebola. world leaders have come up with an action plan. we'll tell you what they have in mind here on cnn. for our call. i'm spending too much time hiring and not enough time in my kitchen.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world, for our continuing news coverage here on cnn, i'm george howell with your headlines for this hour. a fragile cease-fire appears to be holding at this hour. the truce went into effect at 6:00 local time on friday. artillery fire and explosions continued in the city of donetsk right up until the last minute. nato leaders agreed to create a rapid response team to react quickly to situations like ukraine. it would allow troops to deploy within two to five days. they are also forming a coalition to combat isis militants in iraq and syria. the coast guard will assist

gentlem jamaican authorities. two people were on board the unresponsive plane. u.s. president obama has called forne toe members to form a coalition to help destroy the threat of isis, a key national security adviser to mr. obama says participating countries could serve in different roles, depending upon their capabilities. barbara starr has the story. >> reporter: as kurdish fighters battle isis militants in northern iraq, secretary of state john kerry and defense secretary chuck hagel worked to build a coalition to ultimately defeat isis. but president obama drew the line at what the u.s. won't be doing. >> we will not be placing u.s. ground troops to try to control the areas that are part of the

conflict inside of syria. i don't think that's necessary for us to accomplish our goal. >> reporter: nations at the nato summit began forming what the u.s. hopes will be a coalition that could take on isis initially by providing training, weapon sales and support to iraqi forces. working to stop the flow of foreign fighters to isis, cutting their financing and funding. providing humanitarian relief and trying to delegitimatize isis' brutal ideology. criticism continues to mount on capitol hill that the administration's response to the isis threat has been too slow, and there are more calls for greater involvement. >> i don't think any american wants to be involved in the syrian civil war. but at some point we probably are going to have to one way or the other engage isil not just in iraq but in their home pace in syria. >> reporter: if president obama decides to strike in syria, one

area would be to keep from putting more combat power into iraq. defense secretary chuck hagel said it would take more than u.s. air strikes to deal with isis. >> air strikes alone won't fulfill, accomplish what the mission is. this is why i go back to an earlier answer i gave on this is a larger dimension of many pieces. one is a functioning, credible, trustworthy, inclusive, iraqi government that's being formed now, coalition partners, building coalitions in that area. so everybody has a role. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry now scheduled to travel to the middle east to talk to the allies about building up that coalition to fight isis. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. now joining us, ronnie curie

at the american university of beirut. thank you for your time today. let's talk about president obama's plan to degrade and defeat isis with air strikes and also calling on a coalition to get on the ground and defeat isis. do you think that strategy will work, in your opinion? >> well, part of it will work. i think it's necessary in the short run to use military power, especially superior american air power as they did in mosul and northern iraq in the last three, four weeks. you need to halt the advance of the isis forces in some places, but the great irony, the tragic irony is that it is precisely what the united states is trying to do now, which is lied a c-- d a coalition in an area that has

its birth whether in al qaeda form or isis form, its roots come precisely from those two forces in history, which is american attacks on arab and islamic countries and americans leading coalitions of arab dictators and autocrats. so it's quite tragic and ironic that this is still going on. so it's a real dilemma, and it's a dilemma for the people of the middle east more than for the people of the united states. i don't know why the united states feels it has to be the leader of this process. maybe because the local governments, the turks and iranians are all unable or incompetent to do this. i'm not sure. but the fact that the united states is leading a process that is heavily militarized is, according to historical experience over the last 20 years, since the war on terror started, this is going to increase the recruits to these kind of movements, increase the

destabilization in the region in the long run and create greater problems down the road. but at the same time, you have to do something. you can't just sit around and watch this on cnn. >> so following there on basically what you're saying as far as the united states taking the lead in this, what about arab countries? we have heard some arab counties speaking out. but why in your opinion are not arab states taking the lead on this? >> you have two, two or three problems. one is a problem of sheer incompetence. most of the arab governments are simply unable to address these challenges. they've been unable to address domestic challenges in job issues, social equity, political democratization. they have been incompetent, and this is way beyond their ability. the second one is that they are trying to fight a problem that

they in fact helped to create. you know, the genesis, the roots of, roots like al qaeda for instance, back in the '80s, which turned into isis and now islamic state. they're all kind of related one way or another. their beginnings were in jails in saudi arabia and egypt and tunisia and syria. this is where zawahiri who's now the head of al qaeda, these guys were radicalized in arab jails. so you can't have the same arab countries that gave birth inadvertently gave birth to these movements by the mistreatment of their own citizens, then go and try to fight this process. the third one, they're technically incapable. they don't have the military means, and it's ironic that those countries spent hundreds of billions of dollars in the last 20 years on the most

advanced weaponry, and they're not really using it at all. so you have some really serious contradictions, shortcomings, distortions, real bizarre dynamics that have to do with arab governments, and that's why the whole region has been suffering. first a series of citizen revolts and uprisings, and now most recently wars in iraq and syria and libya and other places. and that's why the western countries feel they need to step in. >> the u.s. president obviously taking some heat for not laying out all of the details about his man, but he has been comparing it in meetings to how the united states dealt with al qaeda in pakistan. do you think that that will work here? or will it take boots on the ground as so many people are calling for? >> well, it absolutely will take boots on the ground. but they have to be local boots, iraqis, iranians, saudis,

syrians, whoever they hey be. you can only have local military action on the ground, local societies driving out these extremist killer groups like the islamic state, but the foreign countries can certainly help with their technical air power and intelligence, satellite stuff and things like that. but the indigenous forces in these countries are the ones that have to drive out isis. i'm very concerned that we're having a replay of george w. bush's awful global war on terror. i say awful, because if you go back over the last 15 years or so, since that global war on terror started, 14, 15 years, whatever it is, you even go back to bill clinton firing missiles in sudan and kenya and iraq, since the mid '80s, the u.s. as

been militarily attacking al qaeda and other groups. if you retrace that over the last, say, 20, 25 year, the direct increase in military attacks against al qaeda and those groups has resulted primarily in a massive increase in recruitment, mobilization and expansion of these groups. last week, zawahiri, the head of al qaeda announced the opening of a franchise in india, in the indian sub continent. so you've got these guys in nigeria, syria, iraq, yemen. they're not massive groups. the islamic state is the biggest one because they control some territory. but they're finding anchor and in local societies. they're doing that because of miss management and bad government of local regimes and foreign military interventions. and this is exactly what the obama doctrine seems to be doing, continuing those two

processes that have led directly to the expansion of these kinds of groups. i should emphasize that these are dead-end groups. these groups have no anchorage, but they find pockets of ungoverned spaces, citizens of discontent, and they hatch onto that and set up shop and terrorize people and get resources and expand and take territory. and this is what's happening with theis haumic state, but these groups have been widely, consistently rejected by mainstream arab societies, but as long as we have the conditions we have now of foreign military attacks, israeli occupation and great social cleavages in these country, this is the perfect environment for these groups to expand, and obama seems to be suggesting that he's going to continue working along those

same lines, which worries me a lot. >> rami khoury, we appreciate your insight. the news continues on cnn. the ebola outbreak reaches a grim milestone. we'll tell you the plans the world leaders have to tackle the spread of the disease ahead.

welcome back. the world health organization says more than 2,000 people have now died from ebola in west africa. medical experts med in geneva. they discussed using blood of ebola survivors to potentially create a cure. the w.h.o. says vaccines that could be available, they could be ready by the end of the year, meanwhile, a third american doctor who was infected with the virus in liberia is now being treated in the united states. sierra leone will reportedly impose a four-day country-wide lockdown to halt the spread of ebola. reuters reports people won't be allowed to leave their homes from september 18 through the 21st. meantime an outbreak in congo is so far contained in a remote, northwestern region. we have more on that. >> reporter: the death toll in the democratic republic of congo

continues to rise with at least 31 people dead of ebola. earlier this week, we were told that the outbreak is contained in a northwest region. >> there is not ebola in kinshasa. there is ebola just in one sector of 100 square meters. so i think that people can continue to come. they must continue to come to the tourists. >> reporter: to stop the virus from spiding, congo has quarantined the region, set up a treatment center distributing medicines and free health care. >> we decided to give airport of the province.

we counsel or we stop the hunter in the forest for the, in the province. >> reporter: that's where cop goe's first ebola victim, a woman, butchered a jungle animal. >> they were able to find in this case and it's very likely that the person has been contaminated through the manipulation of bush meat. >> reporter: the doctor suggests that the virus is not the same one that is claiming lives across west africa and that this strain is indigenous to this province. congo hopes to contain the outbreak in three months. >> if we work very hardly and all those measure are practically met on the ground we think that around 45 days it will be possible to stop the chain of transmission so we can

have no cases. if we can do it in 45 days, it means the end of the epidemic can be declared in the next 90 days. >> reporter: so far the world health organization has found a total of 53 cases and is tracing 160 contacts. cnn. >> scary situation for a lot of people. countries doing their best to try to control that disease. the news continues on cnn after this quick break. ♪ honey, we need to talk. we do? i took the trash out. i know. and thank you so much for that. i think we should get a medicare supplement insurance plan. right now?

welcome back. now let's turn focus to mexico, where a major hurricane could hit the country with flooding rains, and there are questions about how this will impact the united states. meteorologist ivan cabrera is at the cnn weather center to explain the details. >> yes, it's been hitting mexico, no question about it, george, with incredible rains. and that moisture is headed up, as we've been talking about, toward the united states. this will not be a direct hit as far as a landfall but we will have significant rainfall. so hurricane norbert is a category 3 storm. look at the eye just popping there within the last few images. intensifying as we speak. and likely peaking as it heads off to the north and west. it will begin to weaken as far as its intensity, and that's a

good thing. because as of right now, there is a heck of a lot of water being pushed along to the north. as this parallels the coast, that's exactly what's going to happen and eventually that moisture does get involved across the united states. take a look at some of the numbers, 120 millimeters of rainfall. we're up to 270 now, over 11 inches there with torrential rains from the hurricane here as it continues to head off to the authority and west. couple things are going to happen. the moisture from it directly is not going to head into the united states, but it's going to pump in moisture from the gulf and the pacific and that is going to be the big problem for the southwestern united states. there's your track there in the next 72 hours. after that, subtropical, but all along it's going to be pushing the moisture to the north. that includes southern california, southern nevada. i do believe eventually phoenix and the rest of southern arizona

will get some watches up here. and then you see southern new mexico with flash flood watches as a result of that tropical moisture getting up, talking about the mojave desert. so it doesn't take a lot to cause flooding. and i believe that's what we will have in the next few days. must pay attention to this. the hurricane isn't going to make landfall, but it will have significant impacts here across the united states. >> especially those areas where they will get a lot of rain, but i'm sure they want that rain. so if you own a dog -- i owned a dog at one point -- and you learn this pretty quickly, that if you leave your shoes on the floor it could be a bad thing. but it's not just shoes. dogs apparently will eat anything as jeanne moos reports. >> reporter: you never know where their knnose has been, wh they're guilty of eating until you see the x-ray and see what

hooked them. from marley the pooch who grabbed a shish kebob skewer to the chihuahua who somehow swallowed nine needles, we have the x-ray contest winners. maybe you've already seen a great dane gulp down 43 and a half socks. >> removing sock after sock of all different colors and sizes. >> reporter: try finding a matching pair. maybe this goes with this? or it was this? for some reason, first prize went to a frog who ate 30 ornamental stones in his came. thin the golden retriever swallowed and managed to pass the light bulb. talk about swallowing alien objects. mitchell the cat swaul/ed a toy
