or save you money we'll give you $150. comcast business built for business. thank you for watching "state of the union." i'm candy crowley in washington. "fareed zakaria gps" starts right now. hello, everyone, i'm deborah fay rick in for fredricka whitfield. these stories starting right now. after isis beheads a third western hostage, the reak shcti >> we have confront this isil

and destroy them for what they stand for. >> the coalition's plans to hunt down the militants who executed british aide worker david hai s haines. and is the storm over the nfl as another nfl player is forced to sit out of today's game. is it time for commissioner roger goodell to go? we will have the latest from all of the fans. and she is not even an official presidential candidate, but she is acting like one as she and bill are about to headline a political event. we will take you to iowa. you are in the "cnn newsroom." and we begin with the message that the u.s. and great b greatbry tain are making crystal clear today, both nations are prepared to odo whatever it takes to destroy the isis terror group and bring to justice the militants who executed british aide worker david haines. they posted a video yesterday

showing the beheading, and it is similar to ones executing americans james foley and steven sotloff, and the voice is the same as those shown in those videos. and he quotes that he is being killed for britain's alliance with america. and david cameron said it is not go going to waiver their resolve, and only serves to strengthen their resolve. we are a peaceful nation, and we cannot ignore our security and that of our allies. there is no option of keeping our heads down that would make us safe. the problem would merely get worse as it has done over recent months and not just for us, but for europe and the world. we cannot just walk on by if we are to keep this country safe. we have to confront this menace. >> and the obama administration

is also reacting to the beheading of david haines and erin mcpike joins us from the white house and colonel nick fran francona here with me and nic robertson will be joining us shortly. what is coming out of the white house in response to the third beheading? >> deb, simply the president issued a short statement just last night, but largely deferring to the the uk, however, what we are hearing from the administration is that they are forging ahead with the fight against isis. secretary of state john kerry was on cbs this morning and he was asked directly if the u.s. government would work with the syrian government as it begins a likely campaign of air strikes, and john kerry said no. now, that is an open question, but now he has made clear that they will not coordinate with the syrian government, and as you know, the u.s. does not support the syrian government. he also talked about the international coalition that he has been talking about for the past week, and that he has been working hard over the last few days to build.

and to that end, he did not specify which countries are willing to do what, but he said that the momentum is growing. listen. >> we have countries in the region, countries outside of this region of the united states, and all of whom are prepared to engage in military assistance and actual strikes if that is what it requires, but we are not looking to put troops on the ground. there are some who have offered to do so, but we are not looking to do that at this moment anyway. >> now, as to that line in the sand, no u.s. ground troops at least combat troops and no ground troops in syria, that is drawing some skepticism. we have heard it over the last few days, but i want you to listen here to republican senator lindsey graeme who was on fox this morning. >> for anybody to suggest that we can do this without air power alone or this is like imminent

somali, they are disingenuous and disillusioned. >> and deb, with no boots on the ground, and is that within the restrictions that the u.s. is going to want to achieve in destroy iing and degrading isis who knows? >> thank you, erin mcpike at the white house. we will check in with you later on and clearly a lot happening there. and also, british prime minister david cameron said that the uk will join america's plan to destroy isis and as we heard secretary kerry say that other countries in the region are willing to conduct strikes as well. i am joined by cnn analyst nick francona and here in new york, and also, we will check in with our international correspondent nic robertson in london. rick, first to you, we are dealing with the apocalyptic group with this group isis, and they have 15,000 members, and if

the u.s. succeeds in forming a coalition, do they risk being wiped out? is that one of the great fears? is that why they are putting the pressure on these beheadings and on all of the propaganda? >> well, they are looking for the fight, otherwise they would not be taunting is what they are doi doing. they are goading the british into joining the coalition, and the british were having a debate on what level they were going to the participate, and i think that is over. i think that mr. cameron was quite specific that they are now going to be part of the coalition. but, the problem is going to come as the secretary says that we are not going to be putting boots on the ground or looking for troops on the ground, and azzerrin reported, the people, the american people wants air strikes, but they don't want troops on the ground. it is almost impossible the do what we need to do against isis without the boots on the ground. somebody's boots on the ground. if you are looking at what is happening in iraq, you have the iraqi army standing back up, and

you have peshmerga being supported with more weapons and advi advisers and that is good. we could probably stop, and we have already stopped the momentum of isis interact, and start to roll them back. but what happens when you get to syria? a that is the question. you cannot do it from the air alone. >> and because they don't have a structure in place at all. i want to go to nic robertson and one thing that is very interesting, is that when we heard david haines, the aide worker beheaded, we heard him basically calling out david cameron and saying just as your predecessor tony blair did following a tradition of the predecessors who cannot find the courage the say no to the american, very interesting tactic on the part of isis to speak directly to david cameron e knowing apparently that he would get involved in this. nic, what is your response? >> well, we have seen david cameron today sort of readying the british people to expect a further political push to get

m.p.s lined up behind david cameron to support the possibility of air strikes. he said that the british will support the united states with the strikes in syria, but the language, he is using here, it is language that is, the language that has been used here is very, very emotive language and saying that the british people cannot essentially bury their heads in the sand, and they cannot ignore the isis threat at the moment, and he says that isis has planned and continues to plan attacks against, against britain and for this reason, he says, that is as far as he is isis, itself, has to be dimin h diminished and destroyed. he is trying to prepare the british people for very well acti action, and he has been clear no boots on the ground, but he is leaving open the possibility of air strikes at the moment,

debor deborah. >> and nick, here in the u.s., very few voices in the u.s. speaking out against the u.s. proposal to launch air strikes, and is it the same in the uk? >> well, certainly, there has been a lack of desire among people here to engage david rom conn to engage it in physical and kinetic action in syria. there has been support for helping the kurds, and helping the people on the sinjar mountain, and support for that, but david cameron was politically embarrassed in a big, big way when he tried to get the parliamentary support for air strikes following the chemical attacks of bashar as d assa assad, and he is so seemingly to be more cautious about it. the british would be hesitant to get involved in the action again in the middle east.

and remember, before, in the occupation of iraq in 2003, there were massive public protests against that action back then. and likely, there would be similar feelings this time. deb? >> all right. and clearly, isis is still with the propaganda machine. they brought forth a fourth person at the end of the video as they have in the past three videos, and nic robertson and colonel francona, we will be back to you, and we jurs heard from david haines brother speaking out about the execut n execution. >> my first reaction is one of hatred, but my brother's life was not about hatred, but it with was about love for all men. >> and clearly, grief and disbelief on the part of the family who tried so hard to get him h back. we turn gears now to pro sports, and indeed a very bad week from ray rice and roger goodell to adrian peterson and the spotlight on the nfl. and now, yet, another player

will not be taking the field today. we will have those details straight ahead. there's a reason no one says

used daily, it exfoliates, smoothes, softens. 90% saw smoother, softer skin in one week. gold bond. ultimate lotion. ultimate skin. nfl and also bittersweet for some fans. there is still outrage of how the league handled domestic abuse with some of their players. greg hardy was allowed the play

after being convicted of domestic violence a few weeks ago, but today, he is e deactivated for today's game. alexandra steele, why all of the sudden this reversal to take him out? >> well, a lot of people are surprised to see this coming can out, because quite frankly, he played in the game last week against the tampa bay buccaneers and set to play today against the lions, but then the tweet from the panthers saying that he is not active for the game today and you see him going to the stadium there, and there is a lot of pressure on the team. and again, hardy played last week against the buccaneers, but there was outcry, because he was convicted of doe e mes tick violence in north carolina, and he choked a woman who was his girlfriend at the time. and death threats that he made against her. he was convicted by a judge in a bench trial, but hardy says that he is innocent, and he is appeal ing it, and now it is going to go to the jury trial in november. all of the sudden now sh, todaye get the tweet that he is not active for this game. this follows the information

that we got yesterday from the minnesota vikings saying that adrian peterson had bp deactivated from today's home opener in minnesota against the patriots. and we do know now that anderson cooper has been indicted by a grand jury, a felony charge, and his attorney says that it has to do with him using a switch to spank -- we do know that adrian peterson has been indicted by a grand jury, a felony charge, and his attorney says that he has been indicted because of child abu abuse. and the nfl says they are e reviewing the case for the adrian peterson case. and when greg hardy was suspended, the team said they are concerned about his allegations, and for all

parties, they are going to investigate that. so both of the teams are reacting quickly to public situations. >> are the nfl the ones putting the pressure on the teams o -- or the teams saying no tolerance for any of this? we are seeing a subtle shift, but a significant shift. >> look, a lot of the pressure is coming from the public at this point as well, because we have had high profile incidents, and this is the week when we all saw ray rice attacking the woman who is his wife, but former fiancee inside of that elevator sparking the outrage and this is when the nfl came out to take a strong stand indefinitely suspending ray rice. and the ravens removing the star running back from the team. we are looking at a, i thought that we would see some video, but we saw ray rice yesterday and he made the first public appearance yesterday. >> that is important, too, because he made the public appearance in new rochelle, and visited the old team, and the coach said he is a very good

playe player, and we should give him the benefit of the doubt, and what happened does not take away from the talents as an athlete, and it is interest, and we will see it swelling up as well, i think. >> it is interest, because it is highlight i highlighting the differences of opinion here. first of all, athletes with tremendous fan base, and they have fans who are frankly continuing to support them, whatever the allegations, whatever the charge, and whatever video they have seen. we have seen people turning up to the nfl games in re rice jerseys and today, in adrian peterson's jerseys, and the high school coach said he has a mistake, and he has to repent for that, and then needs to be forgiven, but the high school did take the picture off of the wall of fame, and take down the jersey saying, this is very important and the kids in the school look up to him, and they need to know that it is a grave situation, and something needed to be done. >> and thank you, alexandra field, and we will keep an eye on it and clearly a lot more discussion and debate on this issue going on. >> and now, will she or won't

she? she lost the state in the presidential caucus in 2012, and now what is really at stake for hillary clinton. imagine the luxury... of not being here. the power you want with the fuel economy you dream of. performance with a conscience. this is volvo innovating for you.

well, she is not officially a candidate, but she is doing everything that a white house hopeful would normally do. we are talking of course of hillary clinton. she is making an appearance in indianola, iowa, and the tom harkin's steak fry. i have never been there, but brianna keilar is there and following what could well be the beginning of the 2016 presidential race. brianna? >> yes, this is an important visit that hillary clinton is making here, deborah, and we have seen hillary and bill clinton this morning. they went to a fund-raiser that will benefit iowa democrats in this key midterm year, and then coming to the political event which is also a fund-raiser, and

you said it, even though hillary clinton has not declared that she is go g ing to run in 2016 in fact, insists that she is undecided about whether to throw the hat in the ring, but this state in iowa, a state so is inhospitable to her in 2008 is seen as the beginning of the potential campaign. >> reporter: hillary clinton has been the inevitable candidate before. >> i know, but there time we are go ing the fix it. >> reporter: and nowadays she is laughing along with the joke. at a friday service for poet maya angelou. >> i would like to thank some speakers and dignitaries and first and foremost mad dam presi -- excuse me. >> reporter: this weekend, she returns to iowa after her stunning defeat to barack obama and john edwards in the 2008 caucus caucuses. we are going to get up tomorrow, and keep pushing as hard as we can. >> reporter: the harkin's steak

fry hosted by the long time state senator is a checklist for any candidate with democratic presidential aspirations. but this is the state that hobbled her ambitions right out of the gate. >> she is as commanding a front-runner as we have had in the modern system, but there are dem the krats who don't want her to take it for granted, and iowa of 2008 is the risk if you do take for it grant ed. so she has to begin to show the democrats that this is not something that she is expected to have handed to her, and she is going to be working for it. >> reporter: clinton last spoke at the steak fry in 2007 along with the rest of the democratic presidential field. >> what we are doing today is building a new field of dreams for the country we love. >> reporter: this time she is headlining with her husband paying homage to harkin and his final steak fry after three decade s decades in the senate. and she is going to buck up against bruce braley who is

going to fight for the seat of harkin. she is likely to begin her book tour after a number of stumbles. >> we came out of the white house not only broke, but in debt. >> reporter: her skills are rusty, but a new cnn/orc poll has her with a huge lead going into iowa with registered d democrats. and deb, we are a couple of hours out from hillary clinton the taking the stage, and bill clinton as well headlining the event, and already as we came in, there were folks here who have paid for their tickets to this steak fry who had lined up really for some time. they just started filing in, and we are expecting a crowd of about 5,000. that is pretty big as far as steak fries go. the clintons are a major draw here, deb. >> all right. brianna keilar, thank you so much, and we will check in with you later on to find out the reception, and how popular she is by those who are speaking, and also whether or not in actually fry steak at a steak

fry. we will check back with you in a little while. and we turn to the brutal execution, isis killing a third westerner as the united states promises to destroy the terror group. the response from david haines family coming up straight ahead. at humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care.

isis terrorists have beheaded a third man a british aide worker releasing yet another propaganda video to horrify the world. david haines was captured in 2013 and a terrorist threatens at the end of the execution of stev steven sotloff. >> reporter: david haines was a father and husband and also a hostage of isis, the islamic

state of iraq and syria. captured in 2013 working at a syrian refugee camp for aide group acton. he was providing logistics for handicapped international, and working as a peacekeeper with a non-violence peace force. she grew u he grew up in scotlan ad and proudly wore a kilt at his weddi wedding. and there were three questions, his daughter says what make you happy and she says, my dad being home. as she waited, he had become a game in the pawn of hostages played by isis. cnn, london. and while helping those in need, prime minister david cameron vowing to defeat isis.

cameron taking aim a much strongerer stance today. >> today, the whole kcountry wil want to express their deepest sympathy for david haines' family, family, and they have endured the last 18 months of david's captivity with extraordinary courage, and now david has been murdered in the most callous and brutal way imaginable by an organization which is the embodiment of evil. we will hunt down those responsibl responsible, and we will bring them to justice no matter how long it takes. david haines was an aide worker. he went into harm's way not to harm people, but to help his fellow human beings in the hour of their direst need from the ball kcans to the middle east. his family spoke of the joy he felt when he learned that he had got his job in syria, and his selflessness and the decency and the burning desire to help others has today cost him his

li life. but the whole country like his grieving family, can be incredibly proud of what he did and what he stood for in the humanitarian mission. david haines was a british hero. the fact that an aide worker was taken, held, and brutally murdered at the hands of isil sums up what this organization stands for. they are killing and slaughters thousands of people, muslims, christians, minorities across iraq and syria. they boast of their brutality. they claim to do this in the name of islam. that is nonsense. islam is a religion of peace. they are not muslims. they are monsters. they make no secret of their desire to do as much harm and not just in the middle east, but to any countries or peoples who seek to stand in their way or dare to stand for values that they disagree with. it was an isil fanatic that gunned down four people in a

museum in brussels, and so let me be clear, the british people need to know that this is a fanatical organization called s isil, and it is not only murdered a british hostage, but they have planned and continue to plan attacks across europe and in our country. we are a peaceful people. we do not seek out confrontation. but we need to understand, we cannot ignore this threat to our security and that of our allies. there is no option of keeping our heads down that can make us safe. the problem would merely get worse as it has done over recent months, and not just for us, but for europe and for the world. we cannot just walk on by if we are to keep this country safe. we have to confront this mn nas. step by step, we must drive back, dismantle and ultimately destroy isil and what it stands for. we will do so in a calm,

deliberate way, but with the an determination. we will not do it alone, but with our allies and not just the united states, but with those in the region, because this organization poses a massive threat to the entire middle e t east. and so we will defeat isil through a comprehensive and sustained counter terrorism strategy. first, we le work with the iraqi government to ensure that it represents all of its people, and able to tackle the threat effe effectively. we will support the kurdish regional government who are holding the front line against isil, and help them to protect their own people and the minorities including christians that they have helped already through the supplies of ammunition and training. second, we will work at the united nations to the mobilize the broadest possible support to bear down on isil. third, the united states is

taking direct military action, and we support that. british tornadoes and surveillance aircraft have been helping with the intelligence gathering and logistics, and this is not about british combat troops on the ground, but it is about working with others to extinguish this terrorist threat. as this strategy intensifies, we are ready to take whatever steps are necessary to deal with this threat and keep our country safe. fourth, we will continue to support the enormous humanitarian efforts, including using the r.a.f. to do so to help the literally millions of people who have fled isil and now living in appalling conditions. fifth and perhaps most important, we will maintain the and continue to reinforce our formidable counter terrorist effort here at home to prevent attacks and hunt down those who are planning them. people across this country will have been sicken ed ed by the f

that it could have been a british citizen, a british citizen who could have carried out this unspeakable act. it is the very opposite of everything that our country stands for. it falls to the government and to each and every one of us to drain this poison is from our society and to take on this warped ideology that is radicalizing some of our young people. the murder of david haines at the hands of isil are will not leave britain to shirk or responsibilities the deal with the threat that this organization poses. it must strengthen our resol vr. we must recognize it will take time to eradicate a threat like th this, and it is going to require as i have described action at home and abroad. it is not something that we can do on our own, and we have to work with the rest of the world, but ultimately, our security as a nation, and the way we go

about our everyday lives in this free and tolerant society that is britain, is dependent on our readiness to act against those who stand for hatred and who stand for destruction, and that is exactly what we will do. thank you. >> and the british government released a statement on behalf of david haines' heart broken family, and it gives us a glimpse into the full and generous life that david haines lived and that was stolen so quickly and so brutally by isis. it was written by his brother mike, and i want to read it to you in the entirety. it begins, my name is mike hanes and i'm a brother to david haines who was recently murdered in cold blood. david was so like so many of us just another bloke, and born in 1970 to parents who loved us both. our childhood was centered around the family, and holidays and caravans and tent thes and days away with the family that

we remember fondly. david and i were brought up knowing right from wrong, and with the youth of innocence, we might not have always chosen right, but david was the brother who was always there when i needed him and absent when i didn't. and i hope i was the same for him. he was sometimes the life of the party and sometimes a stubbornly pain. i i know he would say the same about me. he worked for the raf mail, and he married his childhood sweetheart and in due time the they had bethany. he is no doubt exceptionally proud of bethany, and he served with the u.n. in balkans and helping people in real need. so many accolades for those who have come out who knew him, and when he focused on his religion,

he left a job and entered into his with enthusiasm. he met and married his 1ekd wife, and they have a daughter. he was enthusiastic with the humanitarian roles. his joy and anticipation for the work he went to do in syria is for myself and my family the most important element of this whole sad affair. he was and is loved by all of his family, and he will be terribly missed. we will be right back. moderate to severe crohn's disease is tough, but i've managed. ♪ i got to be pretty good at managing my symptoms, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing.

paula hancocks explains this bizarre story. >> reporter: deb, six years hard labor is the sentence for u.s. it citizen, and another u.s. citizen held in north korea. matthew todd miller had his trial this sunday, and according to north korean state media, he was found guilty of hostile acts to the dprk which is the official term for north korea while enter ing ting the territ under the guise of a tourist last april. it is unclear exactly what happened. we know at this point that is directly from the north korean state media, itself. they say that miller walked into the country and adds he walked through, he then ripped up the tourist visa and claimed asylum. and cnn gained rare access to miller in pyongyang and asked miller if that is in fact the case, and he said that he had dealt with that a previous interview, and he was not there to talk about that. and bear in mind that the north korean officials were ever present in that interview, and he was certainly aware of what he was saying.

he said he did believe that the interview was to try to talk to u.s. government and ask for help and he had called and written to the u.s. president barack obama obama, but he had not had a reply, and we don't know if these the were his words or words handed to him by the government there in pyongyang. and another citizen, has also served shy of two years there who was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor and he was convicted of hostile acts. and we know that the third person who is accused of leaving a bible in a hotel room is to go on trial. they want a high level official from the united states to pay

lip service and try to secure the release of the u.s. citizens. we have seen it work in the past with former presidents bill clinton and jimmy carter to travel and secure the release of the u.s. detainees, but is the u.s. willing to do that again? deb? >> thank you, paula hancocks. day two of a mass manhunt for a person in pennsylvania. police are looking for a person who gunned down two state trooper troopers. one is fatally shot, but another is in stable, but critical condition. >> deb, flags are at half-staff in northest earn pennsylvania for the state trooper who was shot and killed. another is hospitalized as investigators are looking for the suspect or suspects who did this. >> under fire! we are moving to the middle school. >> received. report, you are under fire. >> reporter: 911 audio from pike county in >> 46402.

specifically at law enforcement. >> so far no arrests have been made, but police say they are interviewing hundreds of people, and there is a $20,000 reward. >> we're looking for the cooperation of the public, whether it's money that would motivate you or just outrage at this terrible act because i can tell you the pennsylvania state police and law enforcement in general will not rest until this individual is apprehended. >> on saturday police did bring in someone for questioning, but he was released. investigators tell cnn no arrests have been made. deb. there's a reason no one says

hi, i'm meteorologist jennifer gray with a quick tropical update. we have a major category four storm. this is hurricane odile. winds at 130 miles per hour. gusts up to 160. the storm is moving to the northwest at about 14 miles per hour. you can see on the current path impacting cabo san lucas in the next 24 hours. you can imagine this could make landfall as a category four storm. this will be the biggest

hurricane that this area has ever seen. we could see devastating impacts as far as rain goes and as far as we understand goes for the peninsula. this is going to continue to track to the northwest. beyond that weakening considerably, but little going to slow down quite a bit. that moisture is still going to be sticking around. it's also going to be pumping a lot of moisture into the four corners. we could see the desert southwest and see a repeat of all that flooding we saw last week. something to watch especially if you have. >> all right, jennifer gray. thanks so much for us there. now how the nfl is handling players accused of domestic violence and now child abuse. one player who was convicted of domestic violence this summer was deactivated today before his game. now that begs the question, will more nfl teams follow suit?

well, keith reid joins me now to discuss. he is the former senior editor for "espn" the magazine. the panthers deactivated greg hardy, but now you also have ray mcdonald, who is fighting charges of dmes ebbing abuse. why is there such a discrepancy over who plays and who doesn't play ultimatesly? >> league has not had a policy in place, and this is one of the places where roger goodell, who we know is embattled has had a problem not just in domestic violence cases, but in many cases of discipline because the league does not seem to have a hard and fast policy, a start and stop sort of a threshold for when you suspend somebody, when they're not suspended, when they can play, and when they can play. the league has been making -- ray mcdonald, ray rice, and greg hardy. >> we look at it now. is also coming to light the number of domestic abuse cases, or is this a problem that has plagued the mfl, which has been

slow to really -- >> you are seen domestic violence in the nfl before. horrible, horrible case in kansas city a couple of years ago where you had a player that actually killed his significant other and then committed suicide and then there was still no policy, no formal policy, on domestic violence in the nfl until after the ray rice incident. we've had this happen in the nfl before. it's just now starting to get a lot more publicity. >> could there be classes? maybe they should focus the issues because these guys are in a unique position. >> absolutely. the nfl has to go, absolutely positively must go beyond just the policy about when you suspend somebody, when a guy can play, when a guy cannot play. it's not just about -- it can't just be about the money, the contract, who is on the field. it's got to be about getting a player help. it got to be about getting the

spouse, a fiance, a girlfriend, whoever is involved in that player's life, the help that they need. not just who is on the field and who is not playing. >> right because nobody is going to step up and say maybe i need a couple of parenting classes, but it's overwhelming. you're in a position of high visibility, and all of a sudden you're also dealing with these home issues as well. just offering a little bit of a help. roger goodell, he has tried to make this right, but in the end has he? will he be able to make it right? >> can he make it right? what does he do besides a new domestic violence policy that he has in the nfl? what does he do visa vi getting players help, mandatory counseling, the kinds of classes that they have about how to handle your money to how to handle p.r., how to handle being a good partner, how to handle being able to be in stressful off field situations when you are under stress and under the

microscope all the time? they've got to do that to make it right. >> there's no question about that. these guys have trained so hard, and these personal choices that they're making are stripping everything. everything they've worked for. obviously the league has to work to support that. all right. thank you so much. always a pleasure to see you. >> thank you. >> we have much more just ahead. it all starts right now. and hello, everyone. thanks for joining us this afternoon. i'm debra feyerick in for frederica whitfield. another brutal beheading by isis. this time british aide worker david haynes executed in cold blood. his brother just speaking out. >> my first reaction could be one of hatred. my brother's life wasn't about
