>> welcome to viewers from the u.s. and around the world. >> what the coalition zeroed in on wednesday. . >> and prime minister david cameron says britain is ready to join the fight against isis in iraq. we will be live from downing street. >> i'm becky anderson. the air force along with saudi arabia conducted the majority of the air strikes in syria. more on that in a moment.
10:01 pm
>> the u.s.-led air campaign against isis in syria is taking aim at the militants' cash flow by hitting its mobile oil refineries. >> the pentagon says they are an important target because isis generates $2 million a day from oil operations. the impact right now is still being assessed. but the pentagon says initial indications show the air strikes in eastern syria were successful. meanti meantime, britain appears to be on the verge of taking military action against isis, but only in iraq. >> david cameron told the u.n. general assembly he's recalling british law makers later this week to get their authorization on air sfritrikes. it's believed he has enough support from britain's three main parties. the bombings would only target isis in iraq which has asked for the uk in assistance. >> but mr. cameron did not rule out future strike against syria. he also said doing a deal with the syrian president will not defeat isis.
10:02 pm
he did, though, stop short of saying it would never happen. >> syria needs what iraq needs -- an inclusive, representative, democratic government that can look after the interests of all its people. so to those who have backed assad or have stood on the sidelines, i would say this -- we are ready to join with you in a new political effort to secure a representative and accountable government in damascus that can take the fight to isis. but it is simply not credible for assad to lead such a government. although we are prepared to look the every practical option to find a way forward. >> more on mr. cameron's comment and the upcoming vote in parliament, we go to downing street. recalls are very rare. house of commons was last recalled about a year ago over syria. what does david cameron need to do differently this time?
10:03 pm
>> that's right. well, i think when they recalled parliament a year ago there on the question of syrian air strikes against the assad regime, the circumstances a year later are very different. at the time, there was some real questions about the objectives of that action. there were questions about the legality. and this time around, we're seeing a prime minister, david cameron, make a very clear case, especially there at the u.n. general assembly in new york for actions specifically in iraq. take a listen what he had to say in a speech that was more geared to lawmakers than to diplomats in the room. >> do we have a clear basis in international law for action? and we have a need to act in our own national interest to protect our people and our society. so it is right that britain should now move to a new phase of action.
10:04 pm
i am therefore recalling the british parliament on friday to secure approval for the united kingdom to take part in international air strikes against isil in iraq. >> now, as you heard him say there, the specific question that they will be debating on friday relates to air strikes in iraq at the request of the iraqi government. yesterday, the braem was very clear that any question regarding air strikes over syria would require a separate parliamentary debate. >> david cameron says he is confident he has the support he need. is he right to be so confident? >> well, i don't think anything is 100%, zane, but political analysts i've been talking to tell me they don't think the prime minister would recall parliament without being confident of that support, that he really can't afford another
10:05 pm
political humiliation, especially on the eve of his own party's conference. you know, we heard from the labor opposition leader saying that he would be open to concrete proposals calling for air strikes over iraq at the request of the iraqi government. but he did say he would want to see some sort of u.n. security council resolution which is up with of the reasons why friday's debate would be centered on the air strikes over iraq. and there is growing pressure to take action, considering officials time and time again, isis poses a real and present danger to people here in the united kingdom. they raised the threat level in response to some 500 british ji dadis who traveled abroad to places like syria to fight on behalf of organizations such as isis. there's been beheadings of one british national in that gruesome video released not too long ago.
10:06 pm
at least two more british nationals being held hostage. this is being seen as a real and present danger to this country. we're seeing france participate in air strikes with the united states over iraq. yesterday, the netherlands announcing its own participation and belgium saying that it would also put the question to parliament to send six f-16s to iraq as well. >> erin glocken, we appreciate it. now the u.s. president barack obama is a wartime president. he with us as the united nations for much of wednesday rallying support in his war against isis. >> but it wasn't so long ago he was known for the charge of ending wars in iraq and afghanistan. for a look at what's changed, here's our jim schuler. >> reporter: speaking to leaders from the 193 countries assembled at the u.n., president obama delivered an ambitious call to action to the world. >> we can renew the
10:07 pm
international system that has enabled so much progress, or we can allow ourselves to be pulled back by an undertow of instability. to the outbreak of ebola, but little more than a day after he took the u.s. and its coalition partners to war against isis in syria, the president identified the central challenge as the cancer of vie lnt olent extremi. >> there is no negotiating with this brand of evil. the only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. >> military action, however, is only part of his solution. he demanded that muslims themselves stand up to the root causes of terrorism. >> it is time for the world, especially muslim communities to
10:08 pm
explicitly, forcefully and consistently reject the ideology of organizations like al qaeda and isil. >> reporter: this was president obama at the g-20 last year in russia. >> i was elected to end wars, not start them. >> and this was mr. obama today. >> those who have joined isil should leave the battlefield while they can. those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find they're increasingly alone. >> and that was jim schuler reporting there. the u.n. security council has unanimously passed a resolution to stop the flow of money and foreign fighters to isis. u.s. president obama chaired the
10:09 pm
committee. he said he called the meeting in order for the international community to come together and face a growing threat. but he warned that resolutions alone will not solve the problem. take a listen. >> the words spoken here today must be matched and translated into action. into deed. >> only the second time a u.s. president has chaired a u.n. security council meeting. now, the u.s. military says the united arab emirates took part in the latest strikes on isis targets inside syria. becky anderson joins us now live. and the americans are really talking about the fact that the saudi and emirates took the lead in this latest operation. >> it's interest, isn't it? for the first sort of 24 hours, it was unclear how these five arab nations fall from the gulf. and jordan were actually involved. the jordanianian minister of
10:10 pm
state told me early into this conflict in the air that, in ti themselves. they said that's partly because they had been infiltrated across the border partly by isis themselves. u.s. and its arab partners certainly taking aim squarely at the economic life blood or isis, and that, indeed, is oil. the pentagon, as you rightly pointed out, say war planes from the united states, saudi arabia and united arab emirates struck 13 targets in eastern syria. damage assessments are still under way, but the main targets were mobile oil refineries which isis uses to process oil and sell on the black market. it wasserly on that jordan admitted to its actual involvement u.s. centcom now every night delineating how people are either participating or playing a supporting role.
10:11 pm
for example, we've never heard that qatar has physically put its planes in the air. it's always been so far as u.s. centcom is concerned that it is playing a supporting role. there's lots of roles for these countries to play, of course, as intelligence and logistics support as well as putting jets in the sky. but for sure, overnight, we've seen sorties from the uae and from saudi, according to the u.s. >> when you look at the pattern of air strikes, you see many strong holds hit in many different ways. areas where isis is accessing oil. why does that matter? oil is important as a life blood for isis.
10:12 pm
if you look at big cities out here, where there is a lot of oil production like raqqa here which has a quarter of a million people. that's not these air strikes are aimed at. instead, it's out of the country side where isis is running small, small portable oil refineries that they can somehow get value out of and sell oil on the black market. how much does that matter to isis? a tremendous amount. look at all the oil production areas they are strong in over here. and look at the result. these 12 refineries that were knock the out would produce, according to u.s. officials, 300 to 500 barrels of oil a day. that's being sold on the black market for about $30 per barrel. and all of it combined, not just the refinery, everything they have is estimated to bring $2 million a day into isis. that money really matters because that money is what's allowing them to pay fighters, to accept up their operations and hold so much ground out here. that's why it's advanced to this
10:13 pm
phase because of a belief in the u.s. government that if you attack the money you can cut the legs out from underneath isis and eventually drive them out of the territory. >> so john, as we've been say, we know there are a number of arab nations taking part in the u.s.-led coalition against isis. and you've rightly pointed out it's important to the states that the wider world get the sense that this is not just a u.s. effort, that this is an effort from the region. and when you talk to people here in the gulf at least, they say this is for all intents and purposes our responsibility. and having this being only a u.s. effort wouldn't be any fault of the u.s., which in many parts of this region isn't held in great esteem. but also important that the arab countries sort of step up at this point. amateur video in eastern syria claims to show several strikes
10:14 pm
from overnight. the u.s. military saying, as i've said, that saudi and the uae carried out seven of these 13 strikes. bahrain and zwror dan taking part in the first round of strikes, qatar, and i'll say it again, playing a supporting role. john? >> thank you, we appreciate that. becky anderson live for us there in abu dhabi. none of the original allies are taking part in this. is this a problem for the united states? we'll take a short break, but when we come back, we'll talk to a military analyst who mr. ask if the coalition can, can they win with this strategy? >> and chilling video. a french hostage is killed in algeria by a group believed to be tied to isis. hear what france's president has to say about it. beroccaaaaaaaaaaaa!

10:17 pm
>> welcome back to our coalition coverage. the latest round targeted militants of supply, money and fuel. >> they hit a dozen mobile oil refineries run by isis in the remote part of eastern syria. the pentagon says isis makes up to $2 million a day from oil operations. let's go to a retired u.s. army colonel and our military strategist. peter, just explain this to us. isis controls about 60% of
10:18 pm
syria's oil fields. hitting a dozen small refineries seems to be small to me. >> welsh it's a start. clearly we want to choke off their supply of oil, both to fuel their own activities and to sell on the black market. and this is just one of the many things the kwo ligs will to to cut off the financing to isis and impede its ability to operate. >> the saudis and iraqis, the americans saying they're carrying out the majority of these strikes, 7 out of 13. is this the case of the u.s. deliberately leading from behind. >> clearly, the united states is going to supply the bulk of the air power for this campaign in the long run, but it's important for the arab nations to take the lead. and to show they're full members of this coalition.
10:19 pm
>> everyone has been talking about the involvement of sunni arab nations, not just with support and money, but actually by committing air power and getting their hands dirty, getting a bit of skin in gamt. but look at what's happening in syria. the is without traditional allies. is it a problem now for the united states it doesn't have western nations taking part in these air strikes? >> you know, i think the united states is going to accept help from the coalition where the coalition will be willing to give help. for european nations this will be no doubt in iraq. it will be humanitarian aid in turkey perhaps and in jordan. there will be military action in iraq. in syria, we're going to accept the help of the gulf arab states are willing.
10:20 pm
jordan. but most importantly, we're going to try to get the syrians to fight for their own liberation by trading the free syrian army. the president has said this is going to be a very long campaign and it will be measured in years, not months. >> okay. so when you're looking at the assessment if this strategy is working, how soon do you think that decision if it is, in fact, working, we've had 190 air strikes on iraq in the past six weeks. isis has not lost an inch of territory so far. >> well, i don't think that was the purpose of those air strikes. as you recall, when the air strikes began, isis was advancing on urbil, the capital of the kurdish region. they were advancing on baghdad and that momentum has completely stopped. so the air strikes have done their job. they've stopped isis' momentum and its advance. rolling back isis is going to take much, much longer and require a competent ground
10:21 pm
component, which i don't see right now on the ground either in iraq or syria. >> sick months? >> six months maybe a start. remember, these are armed forces that have rotted from within due to the replacement of competent leaders with political hacks. it's going to take six months to a year, i think, to restore the fighting competence of the iraqi army. so i would say more than six months. >> right. okay. it's going to be a long time. peter, thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> take a short break here. coming up next, though, raqqa in syria is the focus of the first wave of coalition air strikes. we will hear from one resident there. about just what is going on.

10:24 pm
okay. da! >> where he will come back, everyone. senior international correspondent has been in touch with activists inside the city. >> as the air strikes were taking place, we were speaking with a syrian activist from raqqa, and he was saying that they were welcoming this latest round of attacks on isis facilities, especially because it seemed at this stage that the targets were outside of populated areas. but still would be damaging to the terrorist organization itself.
10:25 pm
he was talking about how the mood in raqqa was conflicted. people on the one hand happy that the world was finally paying attention and doing something about the nightmarish conditions they' been living under while isis occupied that city. on the other hand, great fears because isis fighters had entrefre entrenched themselves even further amongst the civilian population. in other parts of the country, a sense of apprehension, the uncertainty and fears of what the days ahead could potentially hold. because the u.s. has not just been targeting isis facilities in its air strikes. it has also been going after other islamic units which the americans do deem to be a terrorist organization but many inside syria view it as being an entity that has fought against the regime and fought against isis. people concerned because they don't know where the americans and its allies are going to
10:26 pm
strike and whether or not there's going to be even more collateral damage. now they're living under conditions where they not only have to be fearful of regime attacks, but now also the possibility of becoming victims of these ongoing strikes. >> in thanks for that report. shifting gears now, islamic extremists claim to have decapitated a french hostage. he was kidnapped over the weekend in algeria. a video posted online wednesday appeared to show his gruesome murder. the group that abducted him plelged allegiance to the leader of isis. francois hollande called it a barbaric act of terrorism during a speech at the united nations. >> translator: france will never give in blackmail, to pressure, to barbaric acts.

quite to the contrary, france know what is's expected. it knows it carries these values and it knows it has a role to play and france will never renounce this role. the fight against terrorism will be pursued and it will be accelerated. >> in the philippines, another terror group linked with al qaeda is threatening to murder two german hostages. the intelligence group says the militants want germany to stop supporting the military action against isis. officials are also checking reports that the militants ant $r5.6 million ransom for the captors' release as well. >> and coming up next, america's top diplomat speaks exclusively with cnn. john kerry tells where the coalition stands in the battle against isis. >> and isis fighters come from around the world. we'll take a look at the threat they pose if they try to come home. the eyes may be the windows to the soul.

>> a radical islamic terrorist has been released. he was deported and told he's not allowed to return. >> and britain could soon bomb isis in iraq. prime minister david cameron says he'll recall lawmakers on friday to get their approval on air strikes. he says he's confident he'll get the votes at the united nations
10:32 pm
on wednesday. he called isis an evil against which the whole world must unite. the pentagon says the latest coalition air strikes in syria took aim at mobile oil refineries, which are run by isis. and they make up the $2 million a day. the u.s. says the majority of the strikes were delivered by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. john kerry says air strikes has stopped the onslaught of isis in iraq, but the fight is still far from over. >> kerry spoke about that and the wider mission in an exclusive interview with our cristiane amanpour. take a listen. >> air power has been effective. and now as their supplies begin to get hit and other things begin to happen, i believe there is the possibility of a slow degrading that ultimately, and i say ultimately, because the president has been clear, this will take time. you and others should not be looking for some massive retreat
10:33 pm
within the next week or two. we believe with the open effort against isil with many in the region, there's going to be much greater confidence in the opposition. >> the khorasan plot, can you confirm precisely what it was and the remnants of it? >> these are people who were definitively plotting against theite a the west. we have been tracking them for some period of time now. and it is true that we didn't put a lot of public focus on it because we didn't really want people -- we didn't want them to know that we were, in fact, tracking them as effectively as we were. so this would have happen ed wih
10:34 pm
or without isil. the moment was right. there were active plot against our country. >> can you tell us what the plots were? >> no, i can't. i'm not going to go into that. suffice it to say that we knew there were active plot against the country. >> iran's president will be the first to speak when the u.s. assembly meets in just a few hours. this is the first time since the iranian revolution in 1979 that the leaders of britain and iran have held talks. and after, he tweeted. one hour of constructive and pragmatic dialogue. new outlook. mr. cameron suggested iran could become a partner in this battle against isis, but so far the
10:35 pm
iranians have given no indication they're ready to get involved. and parts of the u.s. strategy was slammed in an interview with cnn. >> when you say you don't want the united states to fight isis, but in the fight of it, create another terrorist group, what group are you thinking of? >> translator: the american authorities, they themselves they have announced that they wish to train another terrorist group, equip that group and send them to syria to fight. >> you mean the free syrian army? >> you can call it whatever you wish, sir. be that as it may, it is a group, it is another group that as they have announced, i'm not sure what their plan is, they say we wish to train these folks in another country, military train, and they even announced the time frame. with whose permission? whose authority?
10:36 pm
with what mandate? according to what international laws and norms are they doing this? >> and you can watch zakari a's entire interview. for the international audience, see it at noon london time. >> so far, turkish leaders seem reluctant to get involved militarily in the fight against isis. becky anderson joins us live with that. becky is a nato member. they' been reluctant to participate in these air strikes, partly because of the 49 turkish hostages. but now they've been released, are we going to see turkey restep up to the plate. >> it's unclear at the moment, zane. turkey's president is urging european leaders to do more to take care of refugees fleeing from the fighting in syria. so far, though, the country has
10:37 pm
refused to let western forces use its air space to launch strikes on isis targets. the u.n. general assembly on wednesday. the president strongly condemned isis, the muslim group. . >> translator: we do not approve any counterterrorism in the name of any religions and we strongly condemn those against islam which means peace with terrorism. it's offensive that islam and terror are labelled together. those saying their actions are islamic disrespect islam as well as all other religions and humanity. >> so as a nato member and regional power, turkey risked alienating nations already fighting isis, but there are
10:38 pm
reasons that they may be reluctant to be drawn into this conflict. you alluded to the release of those 46 turkish nationals plus three iraqis held hostage by isis. turkey would risk provoking more kidnappi kidnappings, given turkey's porous border may be vulnerable with ices is cells entering turkey. and turkey has a significant kurdish minority, the decades-old kurdish separatist battle, siding with kurdish fighters who are already opposing isis across the border in iraq. there is an awful lot of movement and traffic across the turkish border. that is the point here, you have hundreds of thousands of refugees crossing the border, joining those who are already on the turkish side. then you've got kurdish fighters moving the other way in order to joan the fight in northern
10:39 pm
syria. also many reports that there are isis flags in towns in turkey where there are recruiting cells for isis. and there are already reports that they're doing a fairly good job in actually recruiting turks into the fight on the ground. al zabi is a syrian activist who's been vocal since the conflict began 3 1/2 years ago. he has been regularly on cnn and suffered police detention and scrutiny for it. he says the strikes will bring new suffering for syria's people. have a listen to this. >> only us, only we people, only the syrians are suffering. we first suffer and we still suffer from the barrels from
10:40 pm
assad regime. and now we're suffering the tomahawks. is this fear? >> these are the numbers in europe given to us from government research institutes. there are 930 we're told from fans and at least 800 from russia. around 500 fighters left from the uk and 400 from germany. the numbers out of the middle east and africa are even larger. some 3,000 tunisians report to be fighting in syria and iraq along with 2,500 saudis, 1,500 from morocco and 200 from algeria. well, interpol is helping countries around the world identify terrorists and share their information. my colleague has more on the threat that extends beyond the
10:41 pm
battlefields in syria and in iraq. we got a text by a coalition of america as some arab countries. >> this masked fighter speaks in dutch and english, promising to take revenge. a number of foreign fighters were reportedly killed in attacks. now as strikes continue, there are worries that foreign fighters will attempt to return home. >>. >> translator: we're very concerned with the way they're able to travel across europe from multiple forms, from multiple roots to reach syria and mostly concerned about the way in which their experience in syria and iraq to such a point they will come home and pose a threat. >> europepol has just finished
10:42 pm
operation archamides involving 30 nations. 10,000 illegal migrants were checked. but europe says more cooperation is needed to meet the challenge. >> there are difficulties and challenges. that's why the international police community have to work in a concerted way, to share their information across borders, to engage in multiple cross-border operations so that we can track the most suspicious of these travelers who have a clear intent to carry out terrorist activity. >> we will keep on fighting the enemies. >> like this fighter, already thousands from europe are believed to have traveled to syria and iraq to fight. now countries are grappling with the problem of not only preventing them from going, but what to do when they return. >> i was interested, john, to hear president obama's speech
10:43 pm
which i think resonated across this region yesterday when he called on muslim communities around the world, not just in the middle east, but around the world and in europe and elsewhere, called them to cleanse themselves of what he sees as this perverse ideology of extremist violence. and when you talk to experts here in this region and elsewhere, they say, you know, a bigger effort needs to be made once again with communities through preaches and imams, through politicians, through schools to sort of re-energize the importance of islam and what it means to muslims, and to really get rid of this kind of perverse sense of this ideology, which it appears at least is providing the oxygen, as it were, for this extremist violence. >> a lot of past u.s. presidents have wanted to say that, but
10:44 pm
obama actually went there. and what was interesting is that he mostly wrote this speech himself. >> right. >> so obviously these were his words. this was a high stakes speech. the toughest language he's used so far describing isis. i guess we'll see what impact it has. thank you, appreciate it. we'll take a short break. when we come back, we'll have the story of a very brave 22-year-old woman who managed to combat the ebola virus. i have a cold. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose. (breath of relief) oh, what a relief it is. thanks. anytime.
10:47 pm
>> welcome back, everyone. taking down isis isn't the only focus of the u.s. general assembly this week. leaders will also meet on the ebola crisis in west africa. the secretary general will bring together on thursday. he's also aint poed a special envoy for ebola. >> according to the world health organization, it's affected more than 5800 people and killed more than 2,800 people in south africa. it's estimated in the worst case scenario, there could be up to 1.4 million cases of ebola by january unless more is done to contain the outbreak. the liberian president is absent from the new york meeting. she was due to address the

delegation but decided to stay home to try to deal with this crisis. >> and cnn's senior medical correspondent has been following the ebola crisis from inside liberia. >> and she talked to one woman who made her own makeshift hospital. she's run it, done it all and done it from home. >> reporter: three hospitals turned her father away. fatu had little choice. she took him home to treat him herself. three other people in her family got sick and she had to become a one-woman ebola hospital. >> i was treating them all by myself. no one around. all by myself. >> isolating them in separate moves, her mother, father, her
10:49 pm
cousin alfred and in there, her sister vivian. >> so you were running all around the house taking care of them? >> yes. >> they must have been so sick. >> yes. they were very sick. >> incredibly fatu didn't get sick. how she managed that will astound you. >> i developed my own protective gear. i wore a blas plastic bag, plastic jacket, gloves and mask. >> so this is it. >> yes. >> this is what happens when hospitals turn people away. you became inventive. >> unfortunately her cousin alfred didn't pull through. but she saved her father, her sister and her mother from ebola. >> i'm very much proud of her for the way that she did through
