survivalist. >> and in new york, people are packing the streets for climate change march and it could be the largest of its kind. let's begin with the security incidents at the white house. the secret service said a young man tried to enter a barricaded entrance in his car before being stopped. and we learned more about the man on friday who jumped the fence and ran across the lawn and to the front door of the white house. he was carrying a knife and an iraq war veteran. erin mcpike is live in the white house and tom fuentes is in our washington bureau. what do we know about the two incidents and the two suspects in custody? >> reporter: it is the 42-year-old man from texas. he was on active duty in the
11:01 am
army from 1997 to 2012 and he served in iraq from 2006 to 2008. there, as you mentioned, he was carrying a 3 1/2 inch knife with him into the white house. we also know there was supposed to be a canine stop of this man after he jumped the fence that obviously didn't happen and he was able to get into the white house. at this point secret service said they are in creasing the patrols outfront of the white house as well as the surveillance. >> will they reveal anything more about the security measures. you said increased patrols but what more? >> that means more secret service officers outside, more surveillance. not a lot of detail. of course this is the secret service so it is quite secretive, but they are revi reviewing the protocols.
11:02 am
>> thank you very much erin. we'll check in with you later. so how does the most secure home in the world have two incidents like this. so tom fuentes joins us. nobody was injured. the first family is safe. but this is a significant deal. how in the world could this happen? >> well, fred rica, i think the fence is not adequate that goes around the white house should at the minimum be higher and it has been suggested by former secret service members to have the bar curl back so it is more difficult to climb over it. and secondly, i've been told there is a huge reliance on the canine unit, that the idea is that the officers don't run out to intercept this guy because they turn a log loose and the -- a dog loose and the dog will attack them. and the dog is supposed to knock the person down until the handlers get them into custody
11:03 am
so that the officers don't have to open fire. >> so then what would be the decision in your view as to why the dogs would not be used in this case? clearly someone has jumped over and had enough time seen running to the front door. >> that's the question. we don't know if the dog was available. the helicopter carrying the president and the first family had just left from the opposite side of the building, the south lawn. maybe every dog on duty was on that side of the building. we don't know. so obviously there is a lapse in communication between who is going to stop this person before he got to the building. and the secret service guidelines are not to open fire unless it really looks like somebody is carrying an explosive strapped to their back or around their body because the other issue with that is if the officers at the door open fire like that, they are going to be possibly hitting the hundreds of tourists that are lined up along that fence on the outer
11:04 am
perimeter of the white house. if the officers at the fence shoot, they are shooting into the building. it is really a difficult thing. but if they are going to rely on the dogs, they have to have the dog and that is coming into question, is it a good idea to rely so much on the canine unit and should they go to a different posture with the uniformed officers at the site. >> so you think this is a spring board to looking into overhauling leaders and leadership and looking at the v vulnerableship. if they are on the south lawn and the north lawn is left vulnerable. >> that is exactly right. they need to look at how many people they had on duty, how were they deployed that night and how about this dog, did they use it and rely too much on it? that is a huge issue for the guy that ran across the yard. as far as the other incident with the vehicle, i don't think that is a breech. they stopped him. he didn't get in.
11:05 am
and i vepted -- i vetted that entrance on 5th street and it is almost impossible to penetrate through there without the officers stopping them even if it meant using deadly force. >> and that is not considered a breach but an incident but an alarming one nonetheless. >> and now the big fear is copycats. one guy jumps over the fence and makes it through the front door, this could inspire a track meet of people trying to do the same thing over the next couple of weeks or months. >> tom fuentes, thank you. and jay johnson the secret of -- the secretary will be with wolf blitzer tomorrow to talk about these actions. president obama heading to the u.n. to rally world support for the fight against isis mi militants. britain is on board, but will the u.s. or the u.k. have to put
11:06 am
boots on the ground to fight isis. we asked tony blair about that state of the union. >> basically the u.s. has committed to aerial assaults in iraq for sure, in syria, possibly later on it. seems your country is moving that way. both ruling outputting combat troops on the ground. is that enough to get rid of isis? >> you certainly need to fight groups like isis on the ground. it is possible that those people who are there locally and have the most immediate interest in fighting isis can carry on the ground offensive against them. but, look, this will evolve over time i'm sure. and i'm sure in a the leadership -- that the leadership in the u.s. and elsewhere will make sure that whatever is needed to beat isis will happen. there is no need to talk.
11:07 am
we are not rerunning iraq or afghanistan. but i think there will be a time where we need to hit isis not just through the air but on the ground. but the people on the ground, can they do that locally or will we have to support that. >> tony blair leaving opening that there might need to be boots on ground. and he mocks the isis and he may be an american himself. officials are trying to figure out the identity of this masked militant. until the video he speaks english flew eptly. they are combing through the video frame by frame. at the u.n. assembly the president is asking a u.n. resolution to stop foreign fighters from joining isis. in a few minutes i'll talk with ron brownstein about the president's trip to the u.n.

climate experts say this year's june, july and august were the hottest ever recorded on planet earth. and today in new york,p entities around the world, people's climate march activists are filling the streets to demand government action on climate change. alison cosic is in new york. describe the scene for us earlier? >> reporter: it is actually happening as we speak. you can see the crowd around me. this crowd has been marching through midtown manhattan. this is thousands of people in the streets hoping to change climate change and hoping to bring it to the forefront. they are holding signs and pounding on drums through music and their signs. >> yes. we're seeing droughts, massive droughts across the midwest and california, storms that are
11:09 am
devastating the east and the gulf coast. we are seeing flooding that has threatened this city and many others. all of those things are happening, but it is just a taste test of what is to come if we don't urgently reverse course and the answer is so clear. >> reporter: now activists like the one you just heard from are telling me the purpose of the march is to show that the climate change momentum to bring change to what is happening in the country is really all about momentum. momentum meaning scheidt the line on what is happening and you are seeing the interest on their faces and their signs. and that activist telling me that he doesn't expect any agreement to be signed at the u.n. climate confront happening on tuesday. he said it is really once again just about momentum, especially leading up to a big conference on climate change happening in
11:10 am
paris next year. >> and leonardo dicaprio was also at the march. is he expected to speak at the summit on climate change. >> reporter: he is. he's taken a lead roll with the u.n. and celebrities lend their voices and name to issues but this is one near and dear to his art. and actor mark ruffalo talked along those lines. >> why is it important for to you be here today and lend your name to this? >> because of my kids who i love dearly. and i see the world changing very quickly already. and i want to see them -- i want to do my best to give them the best world that they deserve to have and that i was fortunate enough to come up into. >> reporter: and so thousands have marched through the streets of midtown manhattan this
11:11 am
morning and they continue marching and going strong, fred rica. >> thanks so much. allison cossic, appreciate it. next, congress passed the president's plan to destroy isis and now the president will go before the united nations. our political analysts breaks down what the president needs to say to convince the rest of the world that he's right.

violence. kurds have left the territory since friday. and so ana, in er biel, how bad is the crisis. >> we are told that 70,000 syrian kurds have crossed the border since friday. these people desperately fleeing isis who, as you say, have taken over at least 60 towns around an area called cabbany in northern syria. they are free to do what they like. they have the arms and these people know they would face a massacre if they would stay. and so these incredible march of people. authorities weren't going to let them pass. they fired warning shots into the air. but there were tv cameras
11:16 am
broadcasting this live to the world. so no doubt a great deal of pressure placed on turkish authorities to open up that border crossing and allow those people in. over the past three years since this syrian civil war has been raging turkey has accepted more than 800,000 refugees but it adds to the pressure on the country, on the humanitarian agencies there on the ground. they say they have not seen this sort of exodus of people in such a short period of time which goes to give you an ideal of the scale of this, fredricka. >> and is there a timeline for air strikes in syria? >> well because of this disaster, you have the kurdish president, president bass annie of kurdistan saying the united states needs to launch air strikes now. ethnic cleansing is unfolding in
11:17 am
this part of syria. they are targeting the kurds. that is the latest ethnic religious minority they are after. so they are -- so there are calls that the united states needs to start the air strikes. we've seen them conducted here in iraq for past six weeks and making real progress as far as containing in certain areas, pushing back isis. but the united states is taking their time with syria. they need to do a lot of intelligence gathering. they don't have people on the ground so they are getting their information from the drones, the surveillance that is going on. but certainly pressure is mountaining on them to -- is mounting to start air strikes soon to save this population. >> ana, thank you very much. this weekend president obama takes the fight of the isis to the united assembly. we will ask them to join the
11:18 am
fight for the terror group and make it harder to travel back and forth from europe to the u.s. ron brownstein is from the international journal. good to see you. a lot riding on the president's visit to the u.n. this morning the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power said the president is convening an unusual head of state summit and that there needs to be universal support. can and will this president be able to convince the u.n. that the u.s. cannot be the only country carrying out air strikes, for example? >> there are two tracks here. there is the formal u.n. process where they are looking for a resolution on the relatively narrow issue of deterring fighters. they are not looking for a broad over-arching support and justification for military action inside syria through that formal process. and then through all of the bilateral meetings, they are
11:19 am
looking to broad ep the coalition. and samantha power did say this morning that they expect other nations will participate in air strikes. so they have some commitments from a variety of nations, exactly what that adds up to is still mostly murky. >> and she sounds very confident, didn't she? >> uh-huh. >> and this moment at the u.n. does harken back 11 years ago to colin powell explaining to the security council iraq and weapons of mass destruction. so how does this white house make sure this legacy on this decision have a different outcome. >> it is challenging. the difficulties we face are as a result of the unanticipated consequences of that action over a decade ago and the way that it broke the mold in the region and intense fied the sunni shiite problem here. and what is looming, is the
11:20 am
precedence of the unanticipated striking. but you have enough common cause so countries like turkey and saudi arabia and iran on the other, on the opposite sides of the syrian war all see some common interest in confronts isis and the administration has been skillful about marshalling that but what does it add up to in terms of the hard work of degrading and moving them back. >> and then politically speaking and maybe even beyond, is this president in a no-win situation? he capitulates to both sides in washington who say do something about isis but at the same time the president has said no boots on the ground but you hear from military experts who say, ultimately, eventually, it could evolve into that? >> right. look, we are in a complex -- we talked about it before, a complex and political situation. the brutality of isis has
11:21 am
changed everything from a certain extent. afghanistan and iraq made the country leery about any company in the middle east and now there is clear support for air strikes but still resistance to boots on the ground. no one in the administration and in any kind of national security believe this will be a quick problem solved through air strikes. there will need to be more and many people are skeptical but at this point i think the politics not only in the u.s. but northwestern civilations is firmly against going further than air strikes at this point. >> should be an interesting week. ron brownstein, thank you so much. >> thank you. up next, we're waiting for updates on two of our top stories. police in charlottesville getting set to hold a live press conference on the search for this young lady, this missing

11:35 am
and he really was -- is the guy that fixes everything. >> here we go: >> reporter: the convey was taking ambulances to help syrian citizens caught in war. a british doctor was killed by the regime a week earlier was given his car. >> alan was helping to put on the side the ambulance. >> henning volunteered to cross over into the battle zone with a 10-person advance party. they reported their cautious progress, greeting refugees as they went. moments after that video was taken, doctor shamilia received a desperate call. >> we received a call about half an hour latlater. it was a very distressed person
11:36 am
on the other side saying gadget had been taken after armed gunmen are taken him. we just thought with him being a non-muslim and visibly english, that they would just question him further and then they would let him go? >> reporter: but isis and rival rebel factions clashes, that didn't happen. >> they just dropped a bomb here. not far away from us. as can you see, it is very, very close to us. >> reporter: the convoy advance team recorded this explosion as it fled back to the border. back in henning's home town in northern england, well wishes of yellow tied around and on street signs.

11:38 am
us. so touching. his wife is pleading for his return as an aide worker, but will this have any impact on isis. the mother of steven sotloff pleaded for his life and isis still killed him. >> reporter: i think the real frustration is that the clock is ticking down. it is a plea that comes from desperation. they are hoping, of course, that isis will hear, they are hoping that their appeals are couched in a language that isis will respond to, that they will see it is not a challenge to them, but more plea to their humanity. but steven sotloff's mother made that plea -- a carefully worded plea and isis paid no attention and beheaded him. possibly the difference here is so many muslim groups are making an appeal on bee half of alan henning because he was the only
11:39 am
non-muslim on the convoy and the muslims felt they had a bond of trust, it was their duty to take him into syria safely and bring him back home and they hope that isis leaders will listen to that plea and to that aspect and this is why islam should be respected and they should be allowed to bring him home, fred rica. >> heartbreaking. thank you, karl penhaul, for bringing us that report. and coming up, pennsylvania residents are no longer on lockdown but the hunt for accused cop killer in their state is still underway as police prepare for a live press conference. and we're live on the ground, next.

why did the pope francis decide to deliver the message there in albania. >> this is the strongest we've heard from him condemning militants and we heard him in front of masses in mother teresa's square. for two decades a pope has not visited this country. and he chose to deliver the message there, considering that under the communist regime, for the longest time there was religious persecution and a lot of suffering for people. so to see how far they have come in the last 24 years, a little over 24 years, if they can do this, maybe this can serve as an example for others to follow on that front. now i want to take a listen here and have our viewers at home also listen to the full message he had to say on this front.
