a warm welcome and much relief in turkey as isis hostages are freed. we'll hear from the united nations official responsible for coordinating global aid. and a record on wall street. china's e-commerce giant alibaba lives up to the height. hello, i'm natalie allen. welcome again to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you're watching cnn. turkey's president says nearly

50 turkish captives have been freed in a covert rescue operation by turkey's intelligence service. the prime minister met with the group a short time ago. they were brought back into southern turkey early saturday before leaving for ankara by plane. they were taken when militants raided the turkish consulate in mosul, iraq. meantime, reuters news service quotes an official saying 35,000 kurds have crossed into turkey into this last day alone. they are fleeing isis militants in syria. the human rights groups says some 60 villages have fallen under isis control the past three days. what you're seeing here is likely a humanitarian catastrophe. kurdish fighters are battling for the syrian town.

joining me in the northern iraqi city, anna, let's first start, if you're with us, news about the very fortunate turkish hostages who are now back home. >> reporter: that's right. those hostages have been held for three months, according to turkey's national intelligence agency that carried out a rescue mission, able to free those 49 hostages captured at the turkish consulate in mosul back in june when isis took hold of the second largest city, including the consulate general and his family. there were at least half a dozen times where rescues were going

to be attempted. however, they waited until today to carry out that rescue. they say no ransom was paid and no conditions were met. the turkish president obviously praising his intelligence services for rescuing these hostages. he, of course, has been criticized for not taking tougher action against isis over the past several months and also for not committing to these global coalition. these all of

these kurds fleeing the northern region's you're in the northern part of the country. so that border region is seeing what they are saying is a humanitarian crisis. has,000 kurds just north of where you are getting out with anything that they have to escape isis. >> reporter: it's deja vu, what we saw here in northern iraq. taking place once again in northern syria. this time a population, as you say, 45,000 people fleeing turkey, all playing out, mind you, natalie, on live television yesterday as a wave of refugees

fled the fighting. as you say, isis has taken 60 kurdish villages in the last three days. these refugees going to border and initially turkey was not allowing them in. so they were trapped between the turkish border and the isis fighters. after some time. and as i say, after being played live on television, local television, turkey allowed these refugees into the country. the president here in kurdistan described the attacks on the kurdish villages as barbaric. he says this is ethnic cleansing at work. he's also appealing to the international community to come to the aid of the kurdish people in northern syria. otherwise, he says, there will be a humanitarian crisis. >> all of those children in the video just trying to imagine what those families are going through.

we thank you, anna coren, there from iraq for us. at the united nations, america's secretary of state called on the world to actively oppose what he called the evil of isis. john kerry told the security council just about every country including iran has a troel play in battling the militant group and that it is imperative iraq forces on the ground lead the way. >> for this campaign to have any chance of success, iraq itself and its security forces on the front lines must be leading the way. that's one of the reasons why it's imperative that we all go the extra mile to help iraq fully reintegrate into the region and into the global community of nations. >> kerry says more than 50 countries have come forward with commitments as part of the anti-isis coalition. health workers are trying to educate west african communities about the dangers of ebola and

fighting not just the disease, often hostility as well. reports from genny say eight members of on " ebola education team can killed. villagers pelted their group with stones when they arrived two days ago. guinea is one of several west african countries desperately trying to stem the outbreak. france has pledged to et up a military hospital there. in neighbors sierra leon, people jammed markets to stock up on supplies before a nationwide ebola lockdown got underway friday. the government has ordered everyone to stay in their homes for three days. officials hope that it will help contain the outbreak. health workers will be going door to door educating people about the disease and looking for those infected. there may be hope down the

road in the fight against ebola. scientists are fast tracking the search for a vaccine. cnn has that from london. >> reporter: the shores of west africa may feel a million miles from here, but what's happening at the university of oxford institute is a matter of life or death for desperate millions there. this professor and his team are at the front lines of the fight against ebola. joining them today is their first-ever human volunteer. a perfectly healthy british woman willing to take a risk to make a difference. she's about to be injected with a potential ebola vaccine. this trial is part of a series of safety tests of potential krugs being worked on together in the uk and the u.s. funded by the welcome trust. a health charity. >> we desperately need a vaccine, because over 2.5 thousand people have died. the mortality rate is increasing.

we don't know when this epidemic is going to end and the moment have no drugs and no vaccines to use. that's not the only challenge. as well as doing the trials, the vaccine has to be made in large amounts. we sewn have enough to do a few trials at the moment. what's happening is that at the same time, 10,000 doses of this vaccine are being manufactured. >> reporter: the urgency is almost overwhelming. >> there have been over 40 outbreaks, mainly in central africa, over the last 40 years. all of those died out without vaccination. they were small outbreaks. the mortality was important but limited. everybody thought the same would happen with this outbreak, even though it was in west africa. the difference was it happened in cities, probably higher densities of population, and it has spread and it's spreading. >> reporter: it could be two to three months before any vaccine is ready to deploy. and to complicate things further, many in the infected

regions are already taking matters into their own hands. the world health organization says people are buying the blood of those lucky enough to survive the virus on the black market for illicit transfusions. the antibodies found in the donor blood could help the recipient fight the virus, but it's a huge risk, and it's unproven. >> the main lesson that comes out of this huge outbreak to us is that there could have been a vaccine available if we as a global community had decided that we were going to make a vaccine for ebola and make it available in the affected regions. >> reporter: as millions in west africa fight to survive the deadly outbreak, at least now there could be hope in their future. for cnn, london. coming up later in our program, we'll hear from the u.n.'s ebola coordinator on the massive amount of resources needed from the global community.

we've asked countries to come in with human resources, logistical capacity and every other requirement to get the very, very large response increase necessary. i'm confident we will do it this time, but afraid if we fail, it will get higher because the outbreak will accelerate away from us. >> david ibara of the u.n. we'll hear of rest of that interview in just 30 minutes. just ahead, how eyed is the united kingdom? tempers flare over the vote on independence. plus fear of evacuation and one man sent to the hospital. musical chairs. fun, right? welllllllll, not when your travel rewards card makes it so hard to get a seat using your miles. that's their game. the flights you want are blacked out. or they ask for some ridiculous number of miles. honestly, it's time to switch to the venture card from capital one. with venture, use your miles on any airline,

any flight, any time. no blackout dates. and with every purchase, you'll earn unlimited double miles. from now on, no one's taking your seat away. what's in your wallet?

scotland's future, emotions ran high following the no vote. tensions flared friday night in glasgow where the majority of voters opted to split from the united kingdom. elsewhere, a mood in the yes camp. >> reporter: early friday morning you can really see and feel the hopes of the yes camp evaporating before our eyes almost, they'd gathered here at george square in the middle of glass go glasgow overnight. eager independence would be realized. as dawn broke, results became clear. 55%, no, to stay part of the united kingdom. 45% only voting yes. a real sense of disappointment from the people here and you could feel, get a sense of that

deflated feeling and despondency from people. very upset people walking away from here, but as i've traveled around scotland over the past couple of week, from the farmers in the north around locks in, farming income, worried scotland independent would lose subsidies and if it was independent it could get bigger subsidies from the european union. talking with farmers standing in a field. one end of the field in england, one end in scotland and they could see the potential of a border fence going up. the fact their children went to school across the border and might even he's in passports. this was going to affect not just livelihoods but just the way they lived as well. i've talked to many, many people. what permit yaeated, this hard

battle, the minds, sort of the desire, if you will, from the heart for then independence. at the same time the mind saying, look, there are questions that haven't been answered. the economy, will we be part of europe? what currency will we use? those issues really seemed to come into play the most in the end. nick roberson, cnn, glasgow, scotland. hearing from the queen. queen liz ben release add statement after the vote saying thousand as we move forward we should remember despite the range of views that have been expressed we have a common and enduring love of scotland which is one of the things that helps to unite us all. knowing the people of scotland as i do, i have no doubt scots like others throughout the united kingdom are able to express strongly held opinions before coming together again in a spirit of mutual respect and support to work constructively for the future of scotland and, indeed, all parts of this country. still ahead here on cnn,

confessions in aing should shocking case from bali. new developments in the suitcase murder story. completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies, and never any by-products or fillers. wow! being a cat just got more enjoyabowl. fancy feast broths. wow served daily.

go back, everybody into the park. >> that is a man running into the white house after jumping that fence right there and his dash for the white house triggered an evacuation friday. the secret service says a 42-year-old texas man jumped the feps and made it through the doors of the white house.

this, before being caught. he was unarmed and taken to the hospital. and president obama was not in the building at the time. he had just left. a spokesman says the man was known to the secret service but had never been arrested by agents before. an american couple questionsed to killing a woman whose body was found in a suitcase outside of a hotel in bali, indonesia. police say a 21-year-old man admitted to killing his girlfriend's mother last month. police say the woman's 19-year-old daughter also confessed to being involved and trying to get rid of her mother's body. authorities say the man was angry that the mother didn't approve of him. government officials in the philippines say seven people are dead from tropical storm fung wong. this was the incredible scene of the storm lashing manila. it made landfall friday in the northern part of the country. more than 40,000 people have

reportedly evacuated their homes across the country. many schools and government offices, as you can imagine, shut down as well. our meteorologist ivan cabrera has been warning about this one, and this one is there. those pictures are something else. >> incredible pictures coming out of the philippines knop question. you can see behind me, it's still raining unfortunately. the worst is over for manila. the rain gauges will get a break as are the people there. thousands that have been impacted here, but notice how long this is. right? this tropical feature here. what's happening here is it moved itself in the worst possible area across the philippines, because the southwest monsoon is ongoing, and so what happens is, you get the storm to the north and east you get that southwesterly flow and it just pours on top of manila. you get the rain from the storm and then the enhancement from the south and west and then everything came together for this. 200 to 400 millimeter rainfall

is 8 to 16 inches in areas picking upwards of 20 inches. incredible scene. take you to incredible pictures. new video coming out of the region here. again, when you talk about 8 to 16 inches, sure, you are going to involve riv, and streams. when that happens, people get caught off guard and quickly the situation turns from a nuisance to life-threatening, really. that is what the scene has been like in manila. people just escaping, floating on furniture. incredible scenes coming out of the region there, but it's one of those things where this happens there frequently, unfortunately. the philippines, no stranger to these events here. >> show you new pictures just in. this is now going to be the scene. we're going to replate what you just saw with this. people just trying to get back to normal as the waters begin to recede, as the rain has let up now. it's just a mess. a muddy mess, and you just now have to talk about assessing the

damage that you have sustained in your home, your business, and so it's going to be a while before we can get things back to normal here. behind kneme, you'll see the st is not done. it's affecting other people, north of the philippines. involving taiwan with very heavy rainfall within the next 24 hours and china getting into the warning as well. despite the fact it's over open water, philippines did a number on its structure. we're not talking about intensification. look at the rainfall potential here. taiwan, not flat. very steep terrain. when that water comes down the mountainside we're going to talk about a potential for landslides and mudslides over the next few days and very heavy rainfall across the eastern provinces of china. big picture, though, nothing upstream nap is excellent news. we are in typhoon season, were ut there is nothing that i see that's going to going to worry me over the in ex-few days. getting down from that peak of

august. coming up here, another hostage paraded on video by isis. journalist john cantley, the third briton known to be held by the group. we'll bring you what the ux sk saying in a moment. and the government works to control the spread of ebola in africa. not to brag, but i have the chin of a teenager. here you go. dinges for everyone! when i get hangry anything within arm's reach could be part of my number 20. hm, this is potpourri. mmmm. the new amex everyday credit card, with no annual fee. it's not food. make 20 or more purchases in a monthly billing period, and earn 20% more rewards. and a coat. it's membership that rewards you for the things you already buy, everyday. what's your 20?

come back to our viewers in the united states and around the world, i'm natalie allen. an update on top stories, sierra leon on lockdown in an effort to

stem the spread of ebola. people jammed markets thursday to make last-minute purchases, ordered to stay in their homes three days while volunteers go door to door to educate those on the virus. and radical militants in iraq, the french defense ministry released these photos of a fleet of jets attacking what is said to be an isis logistics warehouse. french officials say there will be more strikes in the coming day. nearly 50 turks held by suspected isis militants for more than three months in iraq have arrived in ankara. turkey's president says they were recovered in a covert rescue operation by turkish intelligence. the group includes several diplomats. isis has released another video. this one featuring british hostage john cantley. in the video, cantley criticized western governments as well as the western media. cnn brian todd reports. >> reporter: john cantley says he's been abandoned by his

government and has nothing to lose. the british journalist who identifies himself as a prisoner of isis for two years sits in front of a camera wearing an orange jumpsuit and appears calm but emphasizes he is a prisoner and admonishes british and american audiences saying, after two disastrous and hugely unpopular wars in afghanistan and iraq, why is it that our governments appear so keen to get involved in yet another unwinnable conflict? cantley promises a series of programs where he'll explain isis' motivations and how he says the western media twists and manipulates the truth. >> perhaps one of the isis leaders decided that it's much more effective to reach out to the british and american publics by having somebody not be murdered and actually explain the isis perspective. this actually might be their next everybody lation, next phase in doing something like this. >> reporter: since cantli makes

sure he is under duress cnn decided no the to show the entire video. this wasn't the first time abducted. july 2012, jihadist militant captured him and held him om a few days. he spoke to britain's channel 4 news about that experience. >> two syrian prisoners. we were handcuffed to them, then blindfolded and told we should prepare to meet our maker. >> reporter: cantlie escaped with the help of a moderate group. as a journalist he's taken these scenes of the syrianive issal war. in the new isis video, many europeans were held hostage by isis and later released saying it was because of their government's actions. "they negotiated with the islamic state and got their people home while the british and americans were left behind." he doesn't mention the american and british governments have policies against paying ransoms. contacted by cnn about this

video, a british official says the foreign and commonwealth office is assessing the production, considering its implications and trying to contact john cantlie's family. brian todd, cnn, washington. other top stories we're following -- the united nations will take $1 billion to tackle ebola. that is a tenfold jump from the estimate they gave just last month. dr. david innabarro is responsie for countries getting the funds they need. he believes the world will come up with the money. >> i'm sure the amounts will rise. let me explain why they grew so quickly during the month of august and into september. we found that this outbreak is actually now increasing exponentially meaning it's doubling about every three weeks. and that made us realize that to get on top of it we need a massive surge in the response. probably 20 times where we are

at the moment over the next two to three months. in order to get that surge we've el paed for a significant amount of funding, plus we've also asked countries to come in with human resources, logistical capacity and every other requirement to get the very, very large increase in response if necessary to get on top of it. i'm confident that we will do it this time, but i'm afraid if we fail, then the bill will get even higher, because the outbreak will accelerate away from us and that really we want to avoid if we possibly can. >> sierra leon has just begun a three-day country-wide lockdown to try to stem the tide of this epidemic. some medical experts, though, have said that is not the solution. that is not the right thing to do and it could actually worsen the problem with not everyone abiding by that lockdown. what is your opinion? >> well, last week i spoke with the president of sierra leon. he explained to me very clearly what is his strategy. he wants communities throughout the country to get a better

understanding of the disease, to understand its causes and also to understand how it's transmitted. so that they can start to take ownership and take action themselves to reduce the spread and also to ensure that when people are infected or suspected of infection, that they can be taken to place where is they can receive care. unfortunately, it was described as a lockdown. i think by accident in the first description, and that term stayed there, but it's absolutely not a lockdown. it's a sense taization, house to house as they call it, which is used quite often for other issues. it's not unusual and it's the right way in my view, to address the issue. once communities take ownership and we've seen it in other places, then it's more likely has the disease will come under control. if on the other hand communities remain frightened and don't know what the issues are and can't respond to their full effect, then i'm afraid it's much, much harder to get it under control

and also to enable people to feel that they are the center of the operation rather than somehow the objects. >> let's talk about experimental drugs, because they have been used effectively on a handful of americans who contracted ebola. what is the latest information on experimental drugs used to treat ebola? what is your position on that at this point, given that there really is not a foolproof cure? >> it's really unfortunate there are at the moment no cures for this particular viral disease. i mean, perhaps the reason is that the demand isn't that great, and so the manufacturers of the drugs have not had a huge incensive to move quickly with production. however, with the current outbreak, there's now a huge amount of encouragement to the manufacturers to take their experimental drugs through the necessary clinical trials so that they can be approved for widespread use. i have to say that at the moment

at the very earliest stage of trialing. very small amounts available and in our view inappropriate to try to tell people there's going to be new treatments available until they are actually on the market. if you would like to help make a difference in the global fight against ebola, again, they believe they need $1 billion more, go to our website, cnn.com/impact and you'll find links to aid organizations working to save lives. again, cnn.com/impact. coming up in just a moment, new developments in the search for a u.s. man suspected in the ambush killing of a police officer. plus -- they spent millions of dollars to attach their names to the national football league. so what are corporate partners saying about the rash of domestic violence incidents?

police in the state of pennsylvania believe they're closing in on a man suspected of shooting and killing a state trooper and shooting and wounding her to. investigators in the pocono mountains say they've surrounded a home not far from eric matthew frein's family home. and they add, officers had exchanged gunfire with a person they believe to be frein. authorities say the suspect is familiar with weapons and has an unorthodox military-related hobby. jason carroll explains more on that.

>> reporter: frein belongs to a military simulation group known as an airsoft gun team, this particular group re-enacted the role of eastern european soldiers dur, the cold war and simulated combat. >> in his current frame of mind, frein now appears to have ass e assumed that role in real life. >> reporter: investigators also say frein was socially withdrawn and made angry statements about police to people he knew. >> one of the real focal points of our investigation is why now, why bloominggrove? w really don't know, but we're talking to everybody that we can find that might have any information concerning that. >> people who live near where that manhunt is being conducted are obviously afraid. >> we just can't believe everything that's going on. it makes us feel really unsafe. you know? thinking that he's so close to us in the woods. i keep looking out my back window, and we're scared. >> you don't know the real story

or what's happening, what's in this guy's mind or what happened. it's sad for the families, and just a shame all around. you know, for everybody. for his family, for the officers' families. so -- it's hard to know what to really think about it. >> frein has been placed on the f fbi ten most wanted fugitive list. there's a $100,000 reward leading for information leading to his arrest. a case of police brutality is under investigation new york as video cameras rolled, a man being subdued was apparently attacked by an officer. the whole thing comes on the heels of another incident that already put new york police under the microscope. jean casarez reports. >> reporter: it was the end to a day of family fun. vendors and locals at a street fair told by the nypd to pack it up. that female officer then begins to yell profanities out to the crowds. >> if you want to be [ bleep ]

up you're going to -- you better -- >> reporter: a male officer asked some questions. >> who are you? >> reporter: and then -- chaos. >> they started hitting, and they threw me to the ground. they hit me on my head. >> reporter: jonathan dossa there with his sister to sell fruit suddenly had officers all around him. finally, he was on the ground. that's when an officer walked over and kicked him. watch this again. >> why are you kicking him? >> i watched this video. my community watched this video. the world is watching this video and i'm disturbed. my stomach kind of sinks every time i watch it. >> reporter: the new york city councilman asked for and got police to begin an internal investigation. police commissioner bill bratton has suspended the kicking officer without pay pending the results of that investigation.

witnesses in the area say police repeatedly told locals to leave. get off the street so the area could be cleaned but they just wouldn't listen. people were arrested. this woman was one of them who says she had to step in to help her brother. >> and then they broke him down and he couldn't breathe and after that i had a flashback, because i think like a month ago, two months ago there was -- some, a young man that said he couldn't breathe. >> [ bleep ]! >> reporter: that young man was eric garner, held in a choke hold by the nypd while being arrested. allegedly for selling loose cigarettes. he subsequently died. the eric garner case resulted in the new york police commissioner bill bratton making the decision his officers needed to be retrained in the proper use of force. some of those officers will go to los angeles to observe their protocol. it was more than a decade ago the lapd was investigated by the

justice department that determined they used excessive force. those officers were retrained. now new york will observe what los angeles is doing. that training is said to begin in november. in the meantime, trust of the nation's finest in the eyes of some is it an all-time low. jean casarez, cnn, new york. embattled national football league commissioner roger goodell is apologizing for his handling of the ray rice dough mech violence scandal. some are calling for goodell's resignation after suspending the running back for only two games after his arrest on domestic violence charges. rice was eventually suspended indefinitely after security camera footage surfaced of him punching his then fiancee, knocking her out cold. goodell says he isn't going anywhere as far as keeping his

job he'll focus instead on correcting his mistakes. >> i got it wrong in the handling of the ray rice matter. and i'm sorry for that. i got wrong on a number of levels from the process that i led to the decision that i reached. but now i will get a right and do whatever is necessary to accomplish that. >> in light of the rice scandal as a number of other abuse-related incidents, goodell says the players and staffs of the 32 nfl franchises will undergo training on the prevention of domestic violence. meantime, the league's corporate partners are paying close attention to the situation and are growing impatient. we have a report on that. >> reporter: roger goodell, nfl commissioner, playing defense and under fire. week three of regular season and the talk, not running and

passing, but domestic violence. >> it just makes me disappointed. it doesn't make me more -- it just doesn't make me want to watch it wrt with at least seven nfl players now facing allegations or cases or domestic abuse, fans like danielle want to see concrete change to the sunday, monday, now thursday american sporting ritual. >> does the nfl need to step up and speak with a solid single voice now about domestic violence? >> absolutely. they're the face of the spore and these players represent the sport. it's absolutely necessary for the nfl to say something. >> reporter: the latest charged, cardinals running back jonathan dwyer arrested at the training facility, one allegation he head butted her wife breaking her nose after she bit his lip trying to ward off and unwanted sexual advance. a second, threw a shoe at their son only 17 months old. dwyer now deactivated by the cardinals faces charges of

aggravated assault, criminal damage and not allowing someone to call 911. growing controversy and concern nfl chief roger goodell embroiled in his own controversy over ray rice. what he knew about the case and when did he know it. what happened in that atlantic city casino elevator in february between rice and his then fiancee ja'nae palmer. an nfl spokesman says goodell has been working every day and much of the night in the office this week on these issues. advertisers increasingly paying attention. anheuser busch spending $50 million a year with the nfl says it's not yet satisfied with the league's handling of the situation. pepsico spends an estimated $100 million a year on the nfl. its female president called players' behecher repugnant and expressed concern about the nfl's acknowledged mishandling of these issues but threw her

support behind commissioner roger goodell. and verizon which has a are the roed $1 billion deal with the league, called domestic violence a scourge and a plague. only offered to work with our partner, at the nfl to be a voice for change. the big question -- can roger goodell be that voice? miguel marquez, cnn, new york. just ahead here on cnn, open sesame. alibaba finds its riches on wall street. a good night's sleep... and aveeno®.

alibaba stock appears to have cooled ever so slightly during after-hours trading. it's unlikely to dampen the mood after the biggest ipo to ever hit wall street. shares of the chinese e-commerce giant closing at more than $93, a 38% increase on its initial price. despite its dominance in the chinese internet market, alibaba has yet to make its presence felt in the u.s. but the cash raised from its ipo should help change that. and everyone is asking, what the company will do next. cnn's maggie lake has more. >> reporter: forget twitter. and facebook. alibaba's ipo is unlike anything investors have seen before. >> this is really, it's like 12 companies. it's -- you know, the ebay and amazon and paypals is pretty easy but it's a netflix a

groupon. they have a money market fund business. buyers and sellers to just park their cash. they have $100 billion u.s. in their money market fund business. so it's almost like -- it's an ecosystem of its own. >> reporter: the numbers swirling around this ecosystem are huge. even by silicon valley standards. alibaba's profit for the second quarter jumped some 179% to $2 billion. revenue increased by 46%. double that of u.s. online retailer amazon. mobile user growth jumped tenfold and last year the company delivered 6 billion packages, more than global delivery giant u.p.s. those stats are enough to put even the most confident ceos on edge. >> who should be afraid of them, if anyone? who do they compare to? >> i don't know. a big kpelter to other countries trying to have their own e-commerce. i don't see alibaba bumping ebay or amazon out of their place in the united states, but as they

try to become global in more and more markets, they'll fight alibaba, would go hard to get into those markets. more come them that way. >> reporter: financials are backed up by serious sizzle. the charactermatic founder had the stage presence to rival many tech icons and followed the tech world's preference for structuring the stock sale making sure control stays in management hands, but alibaba is still young and analysts say it won't be easy to knock the likes of amazon and ebay from their perch. >> a walled garden and not the cheapest deal in the world. they force you to use alipay, not that cheap and don't have as global a mix of premium brand because they have a counterfeiting problem on tmal, fairly extreme. when you check on the brands, maybe half or more of some of the branded content was knockoffs. >> reporter: maintaining momentum after the listing will be a challenge but the windfall from the ipo means alibaba has the cash to spend on winning
