3:00 am
everybody. you made it to sunday. i'm christi paul. >> i'm martin savage in for victor blackwell. it's 6:00 in the morning. 3:00 a.m. if you're watching on the west coast. >> you never went to bed. yeah. we do want to begin this morning, we're glad to have you here. we begin with parents in the denver area. they are on alert. doctors are suspecting a rare respiratory virus to blame for sickening hundreds of children and landing dozens in the hospital. some are in intensive care.
3:01 am
>> colorado is the latest where doctors see signs of what resembles virus d-68. health officials from north carolina to oklahoma have also reported suspected outbreaks. the virus is related to the common cold with cough and runny nose. >> it can be dangerous for children with asthma and all kids younger than 5. mark stewart with kmjh walked us through. >> couple days ago i was -- i couldn't breathe at all. >> reporter: the oxygen mask is a necessity. >> my head started hurting. after my lungs started sort of closing up. >> reporter: 13-year-old will almost didn't make it. >> white as a ghost, blue lips. he passed out, had his eyes roll back in his head and had to call 911. >> reporter: now will's likely
3:02 am
dealing with what is known it is a virus 68 that makes breathing challenging and requires round the clock treatment. >> our floor is full of patients with pretty severe respiratory disves. >> reporter: will already deals with asthma. all kids under 5 are also prone to the virus, that first appears as the common cold. >> to go from a cold to being probably minutes away from death that's kind of scary. >> reporter: this eighth-grader is on the mend. >> i feel better than i did before. >> reporter: his family is sharing their story, hoping parents pay attention. >> it was pretty scary. >> thanks to mark for that. you can help keep the children in your life safe. this is a scary virus. one, wash our hands, we don't do it enough.
3:03 am
that is key. avoiding sick people and keeping sick people at home. don't send them to school. keep asthma under control and get your family vaccinated against the flu and pertussis, all of those help. >> and in fact, ahead we'll be joined by dr. william shafter at vanderbilt medical center here to talk about this rare virus suspected of sickening children in 11 states. >> the wife of an american doctor infected with ebola says she sick and he's weak but doing better. even had chicken soup. gr for the soul. >> for everything. we're talking about dr. rick sacra being treated in omaha. the news is better. his doctors are trying to figure out how he got the disease. he was working in liberia delivering babies. he is the third american with ebola to return to the u.s. for treatment. >> scary moment for a nascar
3:04 am
champ jimmie johnson. he lapsed last night. >> he was suffering from severe cramping and dizziness as a result of, it's classic, dehydration. the laid on the ground after saturday's federated auto parts 400. >> according to the associated press johnson required some five liters of intravenous fluids after being rushed to the medical center. >> i believe that's equal to an oil change. it's not clear why this happened to one of the fittest drivers in nascar, but a few hours ago johnson tweeted he is feeling a lot better. that is really severe dehydration. >> hope so. so you know, a couple hours from joan rivers' friends and loved ones gathering to remember and pay tribute to her. this woman that so many people say was the kindest, and funniest they had ever met. >> we talked to a number of those people yesterday. the trail blaziing comedienne
3:05 am
died. fans laid flowers and messages by her star on the walk of fame and left flowers outside of her apartment building in new york city. >> look at that. rivers joked that she wanted her funeral to be hollywood all the way. here's what she wrote. i want paparazzi, i want publicists making a scene. i want meryl streep crying in five accents. >> i want a wind machine so even in the casket my hair is flowing like beyonce's. today's funeral will be more private. >> friends and family members will say a final good-bye to legendary comedienne joan rivers at a temple a few blocks from her apartment. she joked about the kind of funeral she wanted. she wrote in one of her books
3:06 am
wanting a grand showbiz style affair. this is a private service and the family kept the details how they will honor joan private as well. fans have had an opportunity to pay tribute to the comedienne, leaving flowers and cards, joan rivers' daughter has been seen coming and going from the apartment, stopping at one point to say how amazed she was by the number of tributes to her late mother. >> melissa, anything you want to say about the tribe buttes? >> they are amazing. >> they are trying to determine what went wrong. rivers was rushed to the hospital in new york city in critical condition more than a week ago. she went into cardiac and respiratory arrest during a procedure at yorkville endoscopy center. it's under investigation by the health department which will look at documents and medical records as well a interviewing physicians and staff to see what happened while rivers was in the clinic for the procedure. medical examiner says that more testing is still needed to determine the exact cause and manner of joan rivers' death.
3:07 am
christi, martin. >> thank you very much. the funeral for joan rivers will take place at 11:00 eastern time at the temple emanu-el, the largest synagogue in the world. the funeral will be private, in other words, no public and no media. alexandra joins us with more on who is going to be there. >> boy t heartbroken fans of joan rivers. they are blasting the yorkville clinic where she went into cardiac arrest during that outpatient procedure. >> they are doing it in a public way on line. fans have flooded the clinic's page, the business rue vee website. some go so far to blame to say it did not have to happen. officials say no criminal investigation is under way. >> in michigan, get this, more than 200 people without power. 375,000 so they whittled it down. >> very little whidling. >> a lot of people not watching.
3:08 am
>> gosh. high winds, storms and we know what that's like. that's what knocked down the power lines. but we want to bring in jennifer gray and see if this is expected to continue on as it pushes east. >> that system has pushed offshore. we did have storm reports across new england late yesterday. now the focus turned to the southwest because we could see major flooding today. we're looking at norbert here, this is now down to a category 1 storm, barely a hurricane. 75 miles per hour winds, gusts up to 90 moving west-northwest at 90 miles per hour. here is the track. you see quickly turning into a tropical storm and then an area of low pressure. making that bend back to the east. that's going to feed incredible amounts of moisture into extreme portions of southern california, and even on into arizona. so we could see from, say, three inches of rain just to the south of san diego, we could also see one to three inches of rain outside of phoenix, two to four around las vegas. so we could see flooding across
3:09 am
portions of arizona, even extreme southern california. so we do have those flood watches in effect for today for some very heavy rainfall. so we need to be on the lookout for that. in the meantime, that system that pushed offshore in the northeast, bringing some very comfortable temperatures. we've been baking up there the past couple of days. now temperatures at 80 in d.c., new york city 81 after a couple days in the 90s, and then we're moving on down. even more. almost 10-degree difference by tuesday, high temperatures in the low 70s in new york city so. refreshing change, the humidity down, guy, it's going to feel nice in the northeast the coming days. >> nice. they needed that for the open. didn't they? that would -- thank you, jen. i mean maybe it would have helped because people are calling new york city a very upset city this morning. big surprises on the court at the u.s. open. top seeds, lose to a pair of
3:10 am
unlikely tennis underdogs. tennis being martin's favorite segment. >> i can't wait to get to that. first, new u.s. air strikes overnight like the ones like these in iraq. this time the target isis operations near a key dam. we'll tell you why. ...which eye? eyes that pivot with the road... ...that can see what light misses... ...eyes designed to warn when yours wander... or ones that can automatically bring the ls to a complete stop. all help make the unseen... ...seen. and make the ls perhaps the most visionary vehicle on the road. this is the pursuit of perfection. hello! three grams daily of beta-glucan... a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol.

3:13 am
warplanes carried out a round of strikes in iraq. the strikes were launched near iraq's second largest dam. >> the failure of haditha dam could be catastrophic because it provides water to millions.
3:14 am
officials fear isis could use the water to flood villages and take over iraq's electricity industry. let's talk another flash point. eastern ukraine there are fears that a fragile cease-fire is going to fall apart a few days after it began. >> now it seems to be sort after cease-fire. there has been shelling and gun fire near two cities in the region. a gas station was set ablaze. a number of civilians injured. >> also joining us is lieutenant colonel and pentagon consultant bob mcginnis. thank you for being here. diana, i want to start with you there. what is the situation like where you are? >> well, from where i'm standing, christi, this doesn't feel much like a cease-fire. around midnight last night we heard the sound of a heavy artillery bombardment sounded like grand rockets being fired either out of the city or toward the city. we drove toward the checkpoint on the eastern part of town, going out toward the russian
3:15 am
border. on our way we saw many cars driving as fast as they could in toward the city, residents in the eastern district clearly trying to leave the area as the shells came in. we also saw one small car where civilians inside including children looked badly injured. we've been hearing machine gun fire before the back of the wind screen had been shot out in these three or four of them badly injured and we heard today from the hospital staff here that one woman was killed as a result of that attack. i can safely -- i can presume that it was those civilians that we saw in that car. we went back to the checkpoint today. the shelling has come much closer into mariupol than previously. a gas station there set on fire, the smell of propane gas thick in the air. even as we were there we heard the sound of incoming mortar fire and all of the journalists ran for cover.
3:16 am
so, certainly this cease-fire as far as where i'm standing and also according to reports, the airport has been shelled, doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's written on. we know that two ukrainian hostages have been released from across the border, a prisoner exchange was part of the terms of this deal. but i'd be very surprised if that continued over the course of the day give at any fact that this firing, this cease-fire, doesn't seem to be respected. >> thank you very much for that. bob, how likely is it that this cease-fire is going to continue to hold? it is not looking good at this point. >> no, it isn't, martin. it's unfortunate that we continue to see more than, well, so far 2600 eastern ukrainians have died in the conflict. the reality is that the president of ukraine and vladamir putin talked about and came to some sort of agreement
3:17 am
in belarus that led to the cease-fire. it really leaves a frozen conflict. that's what putin wanted. putin wanted something like moldova where they had troops for years, georgia where they had troops for years, he leaves his proxies there in eastern ukraine, it stays unstable, and of course they will not be allowed into nato, they will have to push back against the european union. that's what putin wants. keeping an unstable tentative on again, off again cease-fire plays into his hand. >> what is the end game for putin do you think here? you seem to have some sort of a grasp of what he does want. in the big picture? >> well, christi, of course being an old kgb guy as he is, he understands how the instability along the former satellites kept the west at large. and he does not want the return certainly of the instability
3:18 am
that followed the end of the cold war. he wants something like he enjoyed when he grew up there in len lenongrad. if he can keep that necklace of nations from estonia in his camp which of course there has been a tendency over the last couple of decades to go more into the western camp. and putin being what he is, really sort of a stalinist in a way, with all sorts of i suppose nuances from democratic speeches he's given, that that's what he ultimately wants. he keeps reminding us that he has a large nuclear arsenal and he's double digit increased his conventional forces so he has a credible conventional force, a large nuclear force.
3:19 am
putt season doing what he is doing in ukraine because that's the heritage that he grew up in and he wants to preserve that as best he can. >> unfortunately i was always skeptical of the cease-fire. we'll hope that it holds. we'll see if it does. we'll continue to stay in touch. thanks very much. >> thank you, sir. >> fresh off a trip to the nato summit president obama's under fire for playing politics here over immigration reform. why some pro immigration groups are calling the move breath takingly harsh. >> and tennis history made this weekend. two huge upsets at the u.s. open. hey pal? you ready?

time to wake up, rise and shine our friends. and hello to all of you in d.c. you saw a shot there, there is the shot of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> look at all of the lights on. >> martin is perturbed. do they not conserve energy? >> there is the capitol again looking beautiful. partly sunny skies today. you'll see a high of 82 expected. we're grateful that you're starting your morning with us. and so we know that starting your morning means you got to put a few lights on. >> maybe they left them on. secret service. >> there you good. could be. anybody seen the white house
3:24 am
completely dark? just saying. president obama, speaking of the president, under fire for what some are saying is a broken promise. >> yesterday the white house announced that the president will delay executive action on immigration reform until after the the midterm elections. >> that decision has critics on both sides including pro immigration groups accusing the president of playing politics. >> erin mcpike has more. >> christi, martin t white house is thinking that democrats can hold the senate republicans could come to the table to help pass comprehensive immigration reform later this year, or early next year, but the white house insists they will have a plan by the end of the year. president obama under attack for breaking his promise made in june, that he'd take executive action on immigration reform by the end of the summer. >> if congress will not do their job at least we can do ours. >> reporter: delaying action until after the november elections the white house says will stop, quote, those who
3:25 am
would use it to score points as a kind of grandstanding issue. the move could help democrats in tight senate races in arkansas, north carolina and iowa keeping their seats from flipping to the gop and causing democrats from losing control of the senate. but the sigh of relief for endangered democrats sparked fury from groups pushing for immigration reform which blasted quote the president's latest broken promise is another slap to the face of the latino and immigrant community. and latino groups cnn talked to were angry. >> i think it's terrible. they always use our community and believe me i'm a democrat but i'm tired of waiting. it's time for him to comply. and actually do something about this. now. not tomorrow. now. >> reporter: white house officials insist immigration reform is coming before the end of the year. president obama defended reversing himself in an interview with nbc news. >> what i'm saying is that i'm going to act because it's the
3:26 am
right thing for the country. but it's going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what we've done on unaccompanied children and why it's necessary. and the truth of the matter is that the politics did shift midsummer because of that problem. >> republican leaders like house speaker john boehner and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell accuse the president of playing politics with the issue. republican strategists working on midterm elections say they will continue to use this as a campaign issue in the final sprint to election day. christi, martin. >> all right. >> thank you very much for that. >> so, another part of the big news is that more u.s. air strikes in iraq happening. we're going to talk with a terrorism expert about president obama's push to get congress and the rest of the world on board for the isis fight because a lot of people are saying why is the u.s. doing this alone at this point it seems. >> have you heard about the

3:34 am
iraqi security forces devised this operation. the attacks bring to 138, that is the number of u.s. air strikes in the latest campaign. >> the president is gearing up to meet tuesday with congressional leaders to discuss how to counter the isis threat. he has returned from a nato summit where world leaders united to destroy isis as a global menace. >> joining us now is a security director at the asia pacific foundation. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. in your opinion, what case does the president need to make to congressional leaders about u.s. efforts to fight isis? >> the thing is, christi, is that this is a growing problem, in many ways we walked into it. isis has grown and spread its 10 tackles in iraq, syria, it's attracting a large number of foreign fighters, from europe, from the united states. this is a problem for the u.s.
3:35 am
in the sense there could be potential blow-back in the future. the u.s. nationals fighting in iraq and syria if they survive the campaign they may come back to plot and plan attacks. so that is something the president will need to show to congressional leaders because this is a problem that could hurt everybody, especially the united states. >> we were talking about how the u.s. conducted more air strikes this weekend and especially on the key dam, the haditha dam in western iraq. how critical is that target? >> the dam is an important part of iraq's infrastructure and the concern has been that groups like isis may try and destroy it because it could be very negative economically, it could also create enormous humanitarian problems. there is the concern that isis have deliberately taken control of key parts of infrastructure. as we've seen with other terrorist activity they try to target these places because of enormous repercussions they can create. >> we know that secretary of
3:36 am
state john kerry and others are going to head to arab states to try to solidify some arab partners for this coalition against isis. what do you think that conversation needs to be? how can the secretary encourage other arab partners to get on board here? >> it's a very difficult challenge. in many ways on the surface all the countries in the region are agreed on the fact that the isis threat a major problem and a concern and the group needs to be dismantled. but this is also a strange coalition of bed fellows, it's a coalition of rivals because you have saudi arabia and iran, two countries with conflicting interests, the sunni shia divide, they will have to cooperate, ironically, to try to defeat isis, then both of them have different views on syria. the iranian regime supports the assad regime. they will all want different things from the united states. the arab countries in particular will want continued support for
3:37 am
the ousting of assad, and even though the u.s. doesn't publicly support the assad regime they are not necessarily getting engaged on that. >> this is why it is going to take time and it's very complicated. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, sir. well, if you were watching i know you are stunned as the rest of the tennis world after a rising young star makes history. one of the biggest upsets in tennis history. taking you to tokyo where fans are going wild. >> it's the other upset city. and it is not just that city that celebrates. we're talking about joan rivers and there is mourning going on as the funeral is held to remember what is a comic legend. we'll have full details coming up. dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future.you. thank you for being my hero and my dad.

>> well, i think obviously you saw the excitement. japanese fans tend to be a bit more on the reserved side, so when you see a room explode in applause and cheers and happiness you know it's a big deal. that was definitely happening all over japan in the overnight hours, any fans still awake are probably bleary-eyed. it ended around 4:00 in the morning local time. if they want to watch the final which a lot of people do they have to wake up early because it's at 6:00 a.m. local time here. the networks here, soccer, baseball, those are the the sports that tend to get ratings here so no major network was broadcasting this tremendous match. but fans found a way, they watched live streams, there was one pay network broadcasting it. and kei nishikori, he is becoming a bigger star here in japan. his victory actually wasn't on the morning headlines because it happened too late but if you look at the papers just in the past few days you can see he has been front page news on paper

>> only a doctor for you. when i was 22 she said all right, a lawyer. cpa. 24 she said grab a dentist. 26 she said anything. >> love that. >> typical joan rivers, irreverent, and ready to laugh at everyone and everything. including herself. she was self deprecating. >> she was loved widely around the world. let's bring in nadia. she did have very famous fans around the world. >> she was so irreverent you might find it surprising one of her greatest fans and friends was prince charles. prince charles and camilla. she was at their 2005 wedding.
3:52 am
and she performed at a charity event in honor of his 60th birthday. i want to read you what prince charles said about his friend joan rivers. she was with an original a spirit and unstoppable sense of humor and enormous zest for life. she will be hugely missed and irreplaceable. i have these visions of charles so formal and proper. and there is joan rivers. >> does not seem possible but maybe that is why. >> they had more than just an acquaintance. this was a deep friendship. and then london, they pay tribute to joan but also take a dig at her. they say as a tribute to the late joan rivers, part of the station will be gradually replaced over the next 13 years. >> oh, no. she would probably laugh at that. >> she would. as you said she was good at making fun of others but she had
3:53 am
pleasure making fun of herself. you remember that joke she said i have had so much plastic surgery what then i die they could donate my body to tup thorwear. >> she did not when we were talking about the instructions, the wishes she wanted for her funeral, this was not something she wanted to be sedate. >> can i tell you, just because he said joan rivers brought laughter to millions around the world and was proud of her jewish heritage and a vocal supporter of the state of israel we miss her deeply and we send heartfelt condolences to the family. how many people have from celebrities to prime ministers. she was good friends with the former prime minister of canada and his wife and she said something interesting. she said joan was very different privately. she was much quieter, and she
3:54 am
was a great listener. maybe the quieter part. as you said christi, she did not want a quiet funeral. what she said about her funeral is i don't want some rabbi rambling on. you know it's going to be at temple emanu-el so there will be a rabbi. i want meryl streep crying in five different accents, i want to look gorgeous, i want to look better dead than alive. i want to be buried in a grown and i want harry winston to make me a toe tag. >> interesting to see if any of those happen. >> i would hope so. >> on some level for her that she was able to craft that. thank you so much. >> rest in peace and laughter. >> she wants to leave us laughing, no doubt about it. >> the size of a house, and it is supposed to make a fly by this afternoon. >> asteroid on a path that will bring it near the earth, how close? are you going to be able to see it? we'll tell you.

3:56 am
introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or
3:57 am
are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®. 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. excedrin migraine starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea.
3:58 am
excedrin migraine works. reason to geek out today. that is because a newly discovered asteroid will buzz by earth later this afternoon. >> you officially have license to geek out if you wish. nasa says the space rock is about 60 feet long. some of you thinking wait a minute, is there a problem with that, jennifer gray? danger? >> no danger at all. but this thing is going to pass pretty close to earth. it's going to pass within 25,000 miles, how about that. yes. the thing is about 60 feet long. it was just discovered on august
3:59 am
31st, so we just came to know about this a couple days ago. so 2014 rc as it is known will pass ten times closer than the moon. it will be too dense to see. it's going to pass over new zealand 2:18 eastern time. this is one of 11,000 near-earth asteroids nasa tracks. there are some internet sites you can go on and watch it but you better not miss it. it's going to be like -- yes. going to be fast. >> jennifer gray, thank you so much. thank you for starting your morning with us. >> we've got a lot more ahead on your next hour of "new day." that starts right now. there you go, stretch out, people. it's sunday, your whole day is ahead of you. i'm christi paul. >> that was well put. i'm martin savidge in for victor blackwell. this is "new day sunday."
4:00 am
>> let's begin with breaking news overnight. u.s. warplanes launched a new round of air strikes against isis militants in iraq near the country's second largest dam. >> it provides water to millions of iraqis. officials fear isis could use the water to flood villages and take over the electricity industry. >> what is the significance about these strikes and what more do we know? >> reporter: this is a major expansion of the u.s. air strikes that we saw start on august 8. they have been focused on the northern part of the country, now we see these air strikes moving into the west of the country, into anbar province. if you recall back in january, this is where isis made its initial advances. it took over much of that key
4:01 am
province, that sunni heartland t province that borders syria and took over cities like fallujah and many parts of the province. the haditha dam and the city have been under the control of the iraqi security forces, and tribal sunni tribes in the region. but there have been many attempts over the last several weeks and months to try and take this by isis. we are told by a top official in anbar province at 5:00 this morning a ground offensive by iraqi forces began around the area of haditha. they had the air cover provided by the u.s., and air strikes also. they say the focus of these operations has been on around a district that is about six miles west of haditha. they say that is where isis has been using positions around there to target the haditha dam. they have been really concerned
4:02 am
that attacks happening like mortar strikes, could damage the haditha dam. and they say it could have been cat a strof wick the flooding that could impact the entire area of anbar, the entire province. so these u.s. air strikes so far we are hearing have facilitated yet again for iraqi ground troops, their advances, they say they are making gains, retaking positions that have been used by isis. really always a game changer as we have seen, shifting the balance on the ground in favor of iraqi ground forces. >> we were talking yesterday about some of the villages that the iraqi forces were able to retake from isis. i wonder when that happens is there any gauge as to where those isis militants are fleeing? >> well, we've seen this in the past, christi, with al qaeda in
4:03 am
iraq and now with isis. it is very easy for a lot of these fighters to blend in into the local communities. and to basically just disappear when this happens. what we have been seeing is these air strikes as you mention and these advances by ground forces these have been minimal gain compared to what isis controls in this country f. you look at you were mentioning in the mosul area in that province, isis still controls and openly does, the second largest city of iraq, the city of mosul. really, these air strikes, these operations have not weakenened and not degraded the capabilities of isis. these are small villages, small towns that have been retain by iraqi security forces but the bigger picture is that isis is still in control of large parts of this country including major cities like mosul and fallujah.
4:04 am
>> thank you very much for joining us. as u.s. air strikes continue officials are keenly aware that the militant group or another terrorist could be training and looking at setting sights on the homeland. >> our jean casarez has been looking into this and how the u.s. is bolstering its defenses ahead of the anniversary of the worst terror attack on u.s. soil. >> this isis group, they are smarter, probably the most evolved terrorist group. >> i'm concerned but i don't think we can know when it will be. >> the fact we are in an active time of war i think you have to be careful. >> reporter: less than one week before the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on new york city, is the u.s. in a position to prevent another attack? >> the fbi has 80 offices outside the united states, they are in constant contact with our counterparts and trying to see if anybody, anywhere, is picking up anything about a possible
4:05 am
attack. >> reporter: one potential threat the seemingly increasing number of terrorists with western passports, but according to expert there is is an even greater imminent concern -- wannabe terrorists could already be here in the u.s. people who don't even have to get on a plane but can just read an online terror magazine in english which includes how to guides on building bombs, and makes outright threats against cities such as washington, d.c., new york, chicago, los angeles, and big events happening now like the u.s. open. >> what i'm saying -- >> reporter: when al qaeda suspect was arrested in 2008 investigators found handwritten notes in her purse referring to mass casualty attacks at locations in new york including the empire state building, statue of liberty and the brooklyn bridge. where security was recently breached when its u.s. flags were replaced by bleached white
4:06 am
flags. even though isis has never carried out an attack in the west, some experts believe it would not tread on al qaeda's 9/11 date because its leader wouldn't want to. >> he is very narcissistic and many believe that he may not want to do an attack on 9/11 anniversary because offing in competition with the legacy of osama bin laden. he wants to be regarded as the biggest baddest terrorist that ever lived. >> reporter: experts say that doesn't mean locations aren't vulnerable now. especially those that draw large crowds because the ideology is like a germ. you can't control it. >> you can't quarantine an idea spread over thousands of websites, youtube and others, on the internet. there is no real ability to prevent that message from being spread. >> reporter: that kind of ideology won't stop americans either. >> are we safe anywhere, i don't
4:07 am
know but i can't live my life like that. i don't want my children to grow up with fear. i want them to feel safe in the park. >> there is risk every day you walk out your door. you got to have some degree have faith in those that your taxpayer dollars go to to protect you and you got to live your life. >> reporter: jean casarez, cnn, new york. >> president obama hitting the pause button on immigration reform. >> the quhowhite house announcee president will delay action until after the midterm elections. >> critics on both sides accuse the president of playing politics. in fact, some pro immigration groups call the decision bitterly disappointing and harsh. >> in an interview set to air today on "meet the press" the president defends this decision. >> i'm saying is that i'm going to act because it's the right thing for the country. but it's going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what
4:08 am
the facts are on immigration, what we've done on unaccompanied children, and why it's necessary. and the truth of the matter is that the politics did shift midsummer because of that problem. >> a white house official tells cnn the president will quote do something before the end of the year. unquote. >> hurricane norbert losing steam this morning after pounding the coast of mexico. i'm glad to hear that because i would never like to think of norbert being remembered as a particularly strong storm. strong winds and drenching rains have triggered mudslides, damaging homes and cutting off some communities and forcing hundreds to flee to higher ground. >> the hurricane is expected to bring high surf and showers to southern california and weaken over the colder waters. >> norbert is no katrina. thank goodness for that. in michigan, more than 200,000 people are without power. >> and we feel for you because that is not fun after two or three days.
4:09 am
we know there were high winds and powerful storms that knocked down power lines but meteorologist general ter gray has more on that. that one pushed offshore. >> it was pushed offshore and people are feeling much better temperatures. it's cooler, good morning to you in new york city, a live shot over central park. folks are starting their day feeling much nicer. temperatures will only improve. the focus, though, is the southwest. i have incredible video to show you from arizona through phoenix. there was a dust storm that rolled through yesterday. look at this wall of dust that plowed through. winds got up to 40 miles per hour and visibility went down to zero. it was followed by major thunderstorms, then of course we could expect flooding in the southwest as we go through today. the weather term for that is a habo haboob. actually, comes along it's caused by the cold downdraft. it kicks up the dust and creates
4:10 am
the wall of dust. visibility gets down to zero. it can be scary especially for drivers and folks on the road. what's going to happen over the southwest. we have remnants from norbert pushing up to the northwest. it's going to bend back to the north and east. it's going to pump in a lot of moisture to the southwest so we could see flooding rains across portions of the southwest. arizona, new mexico, even bringing much needed rainfall to extreme portions of southern california and central texas even but we're going to see a much cooler temperatures coming to the midwest in the next few days. we'll see temperatures in the 50s and 40s in marquette. >> a little bit of heaven. >> 40s. let's take it not so severely. >> we can take it. right? >> of course. >> what the heck. >> haboob is nothing to laugh at i should say. it sounds funny but i lived in phoenix for five years. to see that thing coming, you want to run for the hills, i'll tell you. >> thank you, jen.
4:11 am
joan rivers, you know, she once said that she wanted her funeral to be this huge showbiz affair. she wanted the mikes and the camera and the action. >> it is likely that today's memorial is going to abdifferent affair. today the family and friends are gathering to say a final farewell to the woman we know was a trail blazer for her and so many others that have come after. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location.

4:16 am
outside the temple and we have been hearing these rumblings that there's going to be a red carpet for this funeral. do we have confirmation? there is a lot of stuff out there. >> reporter: you know, there have been a lot of reports of the things we might see. at this point at temple emanu-el we haven't seen them roll out any red carpet but we expect there will be some sort of glitzy touches that joan rivers herself would very much want to see. our photographer here saw them bringing in flowers in the form of a dress, so i think we can definitely anticipate that there will be some quirky fashion hollywood oriented kind of details here. we know that this is going to abcelebrity-packed funeral. joan rivers made her career off skewering many but so many considered her to be a friend of theirs, a rite of passage if joan rivers was going after you, you had somehow made it.
4:17 am
and i think we can safely say while this will be a sad occasion and a time to reflect on a loss, that there will be opportunities inside that temple for people to laugh. a lot of us have laughed this week hearing joan rivers describe her own outsize vision of what her funeral should be. we want to play a clip for you from her audio book in which she talks about it. >> i want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights and cameras and action. i want craft service, i want publicists making a scene. i want it to be hollywood all the way. don't give me some rabbi rambling on. i want meryl streep crying in five different accents, i don't want a eulogy. i want bobby vinton to pick up my head and look directly in my lifeless eyes and sing mr. lonely. i want to look gorgeous, better

dead than i do alive. i want to be buried in a valentino gown, i want harry win staun to make me a toe tag. ain't wind machine so strong even in the casket my hair will be blowing more than beyonce's on stage. >> reporter: that wasover rivers in her own words. while the details of this memorial have been kept private i'm sure there are prescribe but. this memorial service is taking place in new york city in the middle of fashion week so, many of joan's friends are already here. we're sure they will come out this morning. >> no doubt. alexandra, thank you so much. >> again, rivers' funeral starts at 11:00 eastern. the temple emanu-el on new york city's upper east side. the largest synagogue in the world. the funeral is private so not open to the public or the media but we'll wait nor word and see i have to believe along the line there's going to be some public

4:24 am
it was upset saturday in the tennis world. we usually say that for college football but that's what it was for tennis. federer and djokovic going down because kei nishikori had other plans. they were going to reach the final. nishikori shocked the world, outlasting djokovic with four sets. he being the first asian-born player ever to reach a major singles match. everyone assumed he would play federer. no. the 6'6" cilic with his serve that tops 132 miles per hour he pulled off an upset beating federer in straight sets. this was shocking because cilic was 0-5 against federer coming into the match. now we have two players who never made a major final squaring off for the u.s. open men's championship monday night. tenth rank seeded nishikori versus cilic. and guys, this may be the
4:25 am
beginning of a new era. for the first time since 2005 a major final is not going to have roger federer, novak djokovic or rafael nadal. may be turning the page. >> need new blood there. >> women's open, though tonight. how is that shaping up? >> it's going to be an interesting match-up. serena williams and caroline wozniacki, they are enemies on the court but they are really good friends. when golf star rory mcilroy broke off his engagement to wozniacki, serena was planning her "bachelorette" party. once the wedding was off she was there to support wozniacki. doesn't mean she is going to take it easy on her. looking to make history, she won 20 straight u.s. open matches. if she gets the win later today she will be the first woman since chris evert to win three straight open titles, with the when you she would tie with 18
4:26 am
major single titles. wozniacki on the other hand, she's looking for her first major title. it would be a good time for her with rory mcilroy dominating the world of golf. he won the last two golf majors so i'm sure she's not pleased to see him doing so well and would like to have a title of her own to boast. it's going to be tough to beat serena. >> she would like to say i'm doing all right too. >> still went ahead with that party. >> why is not absolutely. why not. andy, thank you. >> well, you know, let's check out the fans in hollywood reacting to kei nishikori's big win. listen up. it's wonderful to see that absolute joyous celebration this weekend so. let's check in with will -- >> here they go again. there they are.
4:27 am
>> will ripley is in tokyo. it is actually evening there so they have to be beat but got to get ready for the next round to watch. >> reporter: yes. exactly. this match ended just after 4:00 this morning local time. the next one is tuesday morning, at 6:00 a.m. so some people probably stayed up all night. hopefully they got in a nap. living here in japan i love to see fans reacting that way because this is a country where people don't even talk on their phones on the subway. they always stand to the left side of the escalator, to let other people pass by. they are refined, polite. sports fans bring their own bags to clean up the trash after matches as we saw in the world cup. to see people respond in that way it goes to show how thrilled people are in japan for this 24-year-old sensation, he moved away from here about a decade ago when he was 14, he trained in florida with michael change recently but he had a great team
4:28 am
managing him for years to get him up to this moment. his performance has been front page news. you can see on every paper in town talking about it because not only did he beat the number one seed but also beat the number 5 seed and the number 3 seed to get to this moment. this i a guy from the country, a southwestern prefecture, a quiet place along the ocean, not so quiet as you saw the fan reaction, people are absolutely thrilled looking forward to the match. >> all right. will, thank you so much. you know some sponsorships are coming to him. that's going to be interesting to see. thank you, will. >> how about this. imagine seeing your child turn white as a ghost, then pass out. you thought he just had a cold. now you're dialing 911. >> 11 states have gotten these reports of a really dangerous respiratory virus spreading, playly among children. we're talking with a doctor who specializes in this.
