that's it for us >> that is it for us tonight. thanks for watching. >> please stay tuned for president obama's special address to the nation. so make sure you tune in for that. right now, live with cnni. >> eight fooing isis. president obama tells congressional leaders he has the authority to strike the sunni militants. >> going big. apple returns to the spotlight with asplashy debut of not one, but four new products including a watch. >> apple watch is the most personal device apple has ever created. >> and speaking out, the wife of the fired nfl player ray rice defends her husband and slams

the media for ruining their lives. thanks from joining us, everyone. a senior administration official tells cnn when barack obama unveils his isis strategy wednesday, h ewill outline the militant threat, his plan to combat it and proposals on how to do it. on tuesday, he told congressional leaders he has the authority to execute this plan but he does want their support. >> the president meeting with congressional leadership, in what the white house again called consultation, one day before he lays out to the american people his plan of against isis. >> the president will make his case based firmly on what he believes is in the best interest

of the united states. >> the white house says a more uncollusive iraqi government plus u.s. air strikes now equals a turning point, a reason to map out with what the plan now is in this new phase, not a minute too soon for republican leadership. >> he needs to identify military object is and explain how those ends will be accomplished. >> until we know what the strategy is, we don't know what's going to be involved. and so it's critically important that we take these in some organized steps. and the first step is, what's the plan? >> where is the big disconnect there? and why do you think congress still doesn't even know what the plan is? >> well, michelle, i won't speak to or try to assess the motivation of some critics of the president who may suggest that he doesn't have a strategy. that will not deter this administration's commitment to consulting with members of congress and describing to them the stray ji that the president is pursuing and has been pursuing for some time to confront this threat. failing that, i assume that each of these members of congress s

has -- >> one year to the day after this prime time address on syria's use of chemical weapons. >> i will not put american group boots on the ground in syria. i will not pursue an open-ended action like iraq or afghan stap. i will not pursue a prolonged air strike leeb yeah 234 kosovo. >> those air strikes never happened, but the white house acknowledges the president will not be telling the nation how much approximately his plan will cost or how long it will last. >> i wouldn't expect something that's quite that detailed. he'll talk about the risks that the united states faces, and he'll talk about the strategy that he has put together to confront those risks, to mate gait them and ultimately to degrade and destroy isis. >> michelle kozinsk ireporting there.

president obama may have a lot of convincing to do when he publicly unveils his strategy at the white house wednesday night. >> yeah, a new cnn opinion poll finds a majority of americans, 67%, don't believe he actually has a clear plan. only 30% believe he does. the survey was taken between last friday and sunday. >> but the poll does show strong support for more u.s. air strikes against isis. 75% of respondents favor strikes in syria, while just 24% are opposed. the survey found similar support for air strikes in iraq. president obama is to outline his plan to defeat isis in an address to the american people and cnn will bring you his speech live. that's 9:00 p.m. wednesday in washington, 2:00 thursday morning in london. >> and we should say, it's a prime time address, which raises the stakes here. not often that happens. usually reserved for big announcements by presidents. so it's going to be important.

>> absolutely. the brutal tackics of isis include beheadings and crucifixions of those who do not adopt islam. >> we have reports now from berlin and matthew chance in moscow. but first, here's becky anderson reporting from abu dabi. >> there's a real rift in this region like turkey and saudi arabia, the uae in egypt who oppose such groups. but for now, they are unified on one thing -- dealing with the threat posed by isis. now, the arab league, which includes the likes of saudi, qatar and jordon in its 22-member body has come out with the strongest statement yet on the matter. so far calling for a comprehensive political and military confrontation. it's also backed a u.n. security council resolution that's asking

states to send the flow of weapons and fighters into syria and into iraq. the league of arab states views isis as a real threat and they seem prepared to get more involved in the fight against the group. >> reporter: the jer mn public is normally very reluctant to allow for any foreign engagement of its military forces or any sorts of weapons deliveries to foreign countries, however, in the fight against isis, that is very different. the german government as well as the public approve of sending weapons to the kurds. that's something the germans have started this week. they're deliver assault rifles, mrap vehicles as well as anti-tank missiles. the german public is for that, however, one thing they don't want to see is german boots on the ground as well as german air strikes. >> reporter: there are very few areas these days where russia and the united states see eye to eye, but the emergence of isis has put them both on the same side. moscow condemns the atrocities

carried out by the group as absolute evil, which it says should be fought jointly by all responsible representatives of the international community. for russia, however, that common interest has its limits. moscow is warned that u.s. air strikes against isis inside syria, a key russian ally, would be a, quote, colossal shock and escalation. >> matthew chance reporting there. another story we're watching, the wife of suspended football player ray rice is slamming the media and standing by her man. >> a day after the national football league suspended ray rice for knocking janay rice unconscious during a fight, she took to instagram and posted this. no one knows the pain and the media and unwanted options, and opinions pi the public has caused my family. if your intention was to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away,

you've succeeded on so many levels. >> well, for now, ray rice is out of a job and some commentators say nfl commissioner roger goodell should be, too. >> yeah, he's in charge of disciplining player, and as rachel nichols reports, he initially gave rice a much more lenient punishment. >> reporter: one day after ray rice's contract was terminated by the baltimore ravens and the nfl suspended the running back indefinitely, those involved began speaking out. this afternoon, rice sent me this text message -- i'm just holding strong for my wife and kid. that's all i can do right now. >> there was an instagram post in janay rice, and finally nfl commissioner roger goodell gave an interview, explaining to cbs what he knew when. >> well, we certainly know what was on the tape. but we have been very open and honest. and i have also from two weeks ago, when i acknowledged that we didn't get this right.

that's my responsibility. and i'm accountable for that. >> the tape goodell was speaking about was the video posted monday by celebrity gossip website tmz showing rice knocking out his future wife inside an atlantic city hotel elevator. goodell stressed no nfl officials had seen the video before it was posted online. >> i don't know how tmz or any other website gets their information. we are particularly rely on law enforcement as the most reliable. it's the most credible. >> reporter: but the since closed hotel and casino where the february 15 incident occurred did give copies of the videos to several parties, giving cnn this statement. we cooperated fully with the investigation, giving the tape to the atlantic city police, the atlantic county prosecutor's office, the division of gaming enforcement, and ray rice's own attorney. critics have charged the league shouldn't have needed the video to realize the severity of the incident.

it was july when goodell suspended rice for two games. goodell has since written a letter to the nfl's 32 owners saying, quote, i didn't get it right. simply put, we have to do better. with two more high profile domestic violence cases on the commissioner's desk right now, he'll have an opportunity to prove just how serious he is about that. >> thanks to rachel for that report. and hours before the nfl suspended rice, he was fired from his team, the baltimore ravens. >> yeah. and like the nfl, the ravens are also facing criticism. on tuesday, the team's owner posted this on the ravens website. we should have pursued our own investigation more vigorously. we didn't, and we were wrong. i am sorry we let you down. >> apple has unveiled its first all-new product in four year, the first in a post steve jobs era. it was a smart watch along

upsite verses of the iphone. >> this is seen as a test for tim cook and the company. >> well, apple really needed to show it can still be an innovative company, and i think for the most part it met expectations today with a series of announcements. let's first talk about the iphone. came out with two new iphones today. the iphone 6 and the iphone 6 plus, measuring 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches arenrespectively. the current iphone is four inches and has a better camera, better graphics, faster, et cetera. the next thing is mobile payments. apple now entering this space, trying to get competitive with it. the idea that you'll be able to go to a merchant, be able to take your phone and pay for products as opposed to whipping out your credit card. they have the ability to make some in roads there. and finally, the rumored apple watch is no longer a rumor.

it was now a reality. tim cook introducing it on the stage today. >> we have one more thing. [ applause ] apple watch is the most personal device we've ever created. we set out to make the best watch in the world, one that is precise, it's synchronized with a universal time standard and it's accurate within plus or minus 50 milliseconds. it's incredibly customizable so you can find one that reflects your personal style and taste. because you wear it, we invented new intimate ways to connect and communicate directly from your wrist. and it works seemlessly with iphone. and it's also a comprehensive

health and fitness device. >> that was tim cook delivering on his promise to get the company involved in a new category of device. it will begin selling in early 2015. as for the iphones, they go on sale next week. dan simon, cnn, cuepertino, california. >> interesting about the watch. i haven't b worn a watch in so long because i have my iphone. >> what i find interesting is that apple doesn't invent things. they dop eddeveloped the ipod. they didn't invent the smart phone, but they came up with the iphone which then they dominated the industry. so will they be able to dominate the smart watch market as well like they did in the past? and that's the genius of apple. >> we'll see, i guess. people are lining up for the products now. so we'll see. he's not sold on it.

>> if you missed tuesday's event, you can see apple's new iphones. all condensed into 60 seconds. you can find that at our website cnnmoney.com. >> a short break now, but next on cnn, britain's leader rips up their schedules to join the no campaign in scotland. but can they get voters to reject independents? the eyes may be the windows to the soul. but in the case of the lexus ls... ...which eyes? 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. get 4 lines for just a hundred bucks a month. with unlimited talk, text and now up to ten gigabytes of 4g lte data.

>> reporter: pressure is on. get out the no vote. how worried are you that the yes vote is surging 1234? >> exceptionally worried about it. >> come along to hear from politicians they hope will save them from independence. >> this is a tight referendum race. it really is game on. wales first min stister making case to keep the country together. >> being independent wouldn't make me more welsh. >> britain is the strongest place to be. it's a much stronger economy and i think the power of britain gives greater opportunity for the scottish people to make their way in the world. >> better together has become a vote no campaign slogan. but it's proving a hard sell in some places.

compared to the yes camp's aspirational message of change, vote no has sounded negative and had difficult fi conjuring a similar positive image. >> a few miles from the political big guns -- >> drawing a blank. >> grassroot campaigners pounding the streets, trying to reverse the yes surge. >> that's fantastic. thank you very much. you're on television in america. >> can i ask you why you're voting no? >> why i'm voting no. i just think it's the right thing to do. for jobs and everything. >> not everyone agrees. across the street a man drapes the scottish flag from the window, symbol of the yes camp. the campaigners ignore him, but we don't. >> i'm going to vote yes initially, i think so. >> why would you vote yes? >> i want independence i would say. >> reporter: most doors that

opened to the campaigner around here seem only by those already won over. >> if you want to put it out the window. >> reporter: the undecided we found almost giving us the cold shoulder. >> i'm sort of just one of the ones that is undecided, sorry. >> so they're saying you can vote no and get all these increased powers. does that attract you to the no vote? >> no, no. >> so you're an undecided yes? >> i am definitely undecided. i don't know which way to go? >> with just over a week to voting, reversing the surge to yes is going to be a challenge. >> 2,300 people have died in the ebola outbreak in west africa. the latest figures from the world health organization show a spike of 200 deaths in just one day. the number could also be higher because it only includes the

the heaviest rain in all of a century creates a disaster that's called shocking. almost 50,000 have pled and thousands are trapped on roof tops. rescuers are air lifting some of them out, but they can't reach many others. victims say india's government has been too slow to respond. >> no one from the government has come to ask about us till now. there's no provision of the water, food, or even medicine. >> in the meantime, heavy rain is being claimed for the collapse of a roof in pakistan. some reports say at least 24 people were killed. rescuers are still looking for more people trapped in the rubble. >> it's worth pointing out the rains have nearly all come to an end now in this region.

but the problems for millions may just be beginning. >> reporter: the population across southern pakistan even greater than places that has a population roughly around 10 million people. you put that city in the united states, it would be the become the most populous city in the u.s. kind of give you an idea of how many people are dealing with what's going on here. zoom in here, give you a closer perspective of the portion of india and also eastern pakistan that we're speaking of. right across the kashmir and punjab region west of india and the eastern corner of pakistan. hateful forecast, as rosie just told you, nearly nonexistent. that's good news, but certainly going to be far from the major issue here over the next couple of days. two rivers we're watching carefully, tens of thousands of people live along the shores of these rivers. and these rivers have literally turn into lakes in recent weeks from the 13 to 15 inches of hateful that has come down in a six-day span. the confluence of this river, they meet around here.

this is essentially a dam, a gate here that typically backs up the water and distributes it throughout the year for irrigation and farming purposes. that's 20 kill meters or 12 miles wide. yesterday i made the analogy of nearly being the width of the grand canyon. now the water is wider than the width of the grand canyon. telling you how large scale of an event it is across the region. behind this damn here, we do have water levels that are four times higher than what would be normal. so releasing the water is going to create issues, certainly going to be a very, very fickle situation here over the next couple of days. and you take a look, here's where the current krecrest leves at this point. tens of million people live as the water flows down street. it's the second highest mountain in the world.

>> apple has done what other tech company have been doing for so long, introducing a smart watch. the apple watch receives calls, plays music, has olptions for different wristbands. there are also two new bigger iphones. >> flooding in the kashmir region of india and pakistan has killed more than 400 people and is creating a humanitarian crisis. some have been pulled to safety, but thousands remain trapped, desperate for help. a break in the weather helped rescue crews tuesday, but the flooding is expected to get worse. isis is believed to have recruited some werners to its cause. the militant group is also believed to have attracted some female volunteers. and the fear is that a number of women involved in isis may be growing.

this is the online world of the women of isis. this woman, once a shy glasgow schoolgirl, now married to an isis fighter in syria. a blog believed to be written by her reads as a how-to manual from my female recruit. get a warm coat and plenty of full body veils to a british woman posing with an ak-47, calling for the british prime minister's head on a spike. according to the terrorism research and analysis consort m consortium, as many as 15% of isis foreign recruits are women, possibly up to 200 from at least 14 different countries. it's not the first time for women in a jihadist conflict, but it is the first time they have been recruited in such large numbers. but they're not expected to fight. she supports her husband at

home, cooking, cleaning and raising children. the appeal is the same for the same thing as husband and wife, say those who track isis fighters online. >> they have the same goals and same ambitions once they get there. now granted, th their roles may much more limited to the 1950s housewife type of thing. >> but in february, isis formed an all-women battalion with about 60 members, all of them believed to be under the age of 25. they now have their own media channel with propaganda videos like this. the battalion has two roles and expecting all women. but also enforcing isis strict morality code for women in the self-declared caliphate. there are reports they flog women who are not fully veiled. but many of the women, especially foreign recruits have expressed clear ambitions to be on the frontline. >> they're being trained in weaponry, they're being trained

how to clean the weapon, fire the weapon. and granted, these are just basic boot camp skills, they have the means to defend themselves. >> whether it's cleaning an at-47 or whipping up a chocolatey treat for they jihadi husbands, the goal is the same for these women, to serve the extremist ideals of isis. cnn, london. we, defeating isis will be the objective, but what specifically is barack obama's plan? we should learn more about that when the u.s. president lays out at least some of his strategy wednesday night from the white house. for more a short time ago, i spoke with cnn national security analyst bob baer. >> it's still not clear if the u.s. president is ready to authorize military action air strikes in syria on isis targets. if he doesn't go down that road, can you actually defeat isis? >> no. he's going to have to get rid of them in syria. iraq is the capital of the islamic state. that's where the command and

control is. they've got weapons, they've got the planning in as much as planning occurs there. the border is more or less gone. and the caliphate crosses that vast desert that goes into iraq. they have to get rid of the whole thing if they're going to decapitate it, or degrade it as they say. >> to do that, they'll need support of the iraqis in iraq. and the sunnis as well. can they build that coalition? >> well, so far they've utterly failed. if you look at the retaking of armalee, they had to bring in the iranians, iranian-backed militias. and the army didn't show up. there were some tribes, but i mean, that's not good, when you have to align with the shia meshes against, you know, isis. i mean, for them, it's -- the terms are clear. we don't want to be part of a civil war. and this is what it is. it's a sunni-shia civil war.

>> you need to often vously get the sunnis on side from the u.s. point of view. >> there's 20 million sunni. you need to drive a wedge between them and the islamic state. it's possible, but you have to give the sunnis something. this is so crucial. they revolted against the central government in baghdad. they were furious about this. six months ago, they were coming to me saying look, we're going to close the doors. we're going to run them out. didn't say anything about the islamic state arrive, but the point is, they're not going back. i talked to them today. they said look, we have to have some sort of new status that doesn't allow the central government's army into the provinces. something that's close to the kurdish part of the country. they want a sort of federalism. they want to do something about the oil loss so they can get more revenues. they have a whole list of eight

things. and in order to get them to turn against isis, you're going to have to give them something. you can't just say we're going to bomb you until you give up, because i don't think they will. >> all we're seeing from the obama administration has been building since the release of the gruesome, extremely disturbing beheading videos of the two american journalists. is the threat from isis greater now than it was before those videos were released? >> well, i think the threat from isis is greater because they're starting to lose ground in iraq. they're going to blame the united states for providing air cover. and what happens when you lose a grip like this and start to lose, it strikes out against the party it can, which would be baghdad, but secondarily the united states. is there imminent threat, i see nothing that there is. but they're certainly capable as

they hit the jewish museum in brussels to do the same in the united states. it would be very simple for them to do and we would be bombing syria for sure, if not boots on the ground. all right, a short break right now, but still to come here on cnn, dutch investigators provide details of the malaysia airlines flight 17 crash, but some key information is missing from their report. >> also ahead, how far would you go for the perfect shot? how about 400 meters into a volcano crater? stay with us. in the nation... the safest feature in your car is you. add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get $100 off for every year of safe driving.

crashed in the middle of a war zone in eastern ukraine. >> i think with each new report of the unbiased investigation, we will be closer to the truth. >> the report by dutch investigators show it was a normal flight after takeoff from amsterdam. the plane was flying legally in unrestricted air space. it was following instructions. it was clearly identified as a boeing 777 by both russian and ukrainian air traffic control. but suddenly the pilot stopped responding to radio calls. the radar showed the plane started falling apart, and the flight recorders abruptly came to an end. no warnings, no maydays. >> no warnings or alerts of aircraft malfunctions was heard on the voice recording. >> the serial numbers on the flight recorders found by the

rebels at the crash site matched those unique numbers given to the plane. it showed there was no sign of tampering. because of security concerns, dutch investigators have still not had coordinated access to the wreckage. the photographs taken by others do hold clues. the wide debris field indicates the plane broke apart in the air. below the pilot's seat, the floor is ritled with holes. and more shrapnel damage around the cockpit window. and all of it indicating it came outside penetrating into the plane. >> the aircraft was penetrated by a large number of high energy objects from the outside of the aircraft. >> reporter: high-energy objects, as described in the report. the word missile is never used. the reason, investigators are looking at the cause of the
