i'm becky anderson in abu dha dhabi. we'll take a look at what else is being done and said around this region. >> and we begin this hour with the latest round of air strikes on isis in syria. this time taking aim at the militants' lucrative oil operation. >> it was joined by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates in hitting a dozen key targets in eastern syria. saudi and uae forces taking most of the work and conducting most of those air strikes, damage assessments still under way at this hour but the pentagon says it has initial indications that these air strikes were successful. >> these are oil refineries, as i said modular oil refineries that account for roughly on average $2 million a day of revenue for isil so they're an important revenue stream for

these guys. they are in a remote part of eastern syria so we know that we were not -- there wasn't a big risk of causing any collateral damage or civilian casualties. these are oil refiners and i will tell you one thick we focussed on was the infrastructure around the refineries again, their communications equipment and the methods of control over the business that we were trying to get at. >> the latest air strikes come as britain prepares to go after isis in iraq. >> that's right, david cameron told the u.n. general assembly he's now reconvening lawmakers later this week to get their approval on those iraqi air strikes. that vote is expected to pass but there are some limitations, like i said, these would be limited to iraq only and that's because the country has formally requested london's help. syria hasn't done that so this does not apply to air strikes in syria. in addition the british

parliament rejected plans to attack syria last year. >> 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. 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. >> let's talk more in depth about mr. cameron's comments in this upcoming debris in parliament. we'll bring in erin mclaughlin. good morning to you. david cameron taking action recalling parliament to approve air strikes in iraq but you did have this vote last year on air strikes in syria which failed in parliament. what's the public opinion i'm wondering on the possibility of

this new action in iraq specifically? >> reporter: hi, errol. i think the situation last year was very different. that motion that was put towards parliament calling for air strikes over syria came under intense criticism for a lack of clear objectives. there were plenty of lawmakers questioning its legality and many people here are very concerned not to repeat the perceived mistakes of the iraq war which is perhaps why we're seeing prime minister david cameron so carefully laying out his objectives here before the u.n. general assembly yesterday in a speech that seemed more geared towards british lawmakers than the diplomats in the room. take a listen to what he had to say. >> 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. 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. >> reporter: well, the action that parliament will be debrising friddebris i debating friday will be at the request of the iraqi government. any sort of air strikes over syria would require british prime minister cameron yesterday saying a separate parliamentary debate. his cabinet is expected to meet here in london later today ahead of that debate on friday. errol. >> now, erin, i'm wondering how this sets the stage for changes in the future. this conversation in parliament will be focused on iraq, but it's understood and agreed upon the isis threat is there.

they beheaded a british aid worker recently. is there an interest to joining the fight considering this year unlike last year as you say you do have this coalition of partners and u.n. security council anti-terror resolution passed yesterday. you know, more momentum perhaps to take the campaign to syria. is there an appetite in the uk that eventually they would approve such a move? >> reporter: well, perhaps, i think the government right now main objective is see british participation in air strikes. on syrian question the leader of the opposition said while he would be open to concrete proposals on iraqi air strikes at the invitation of the iraqi government regarding any sort of strikes over syria he would like to see a u.n. security council resolution first. so clearly prime minister david cameron seen more support in the

government for the iraq question which is why they're tackling that first but there is growing pressure on the united kingdom to take part in these air strikes given that france already participating just yesterday, the netherlands announcing its participation, even belgium saying it's going to be sending some six f-16s and is seeking parliamentary support for that. errol. >> yeah, it's almost a legacy of the most recent iraq war. countries very careful in appearing that they're rushing -- people taking a much more careful and calculated approach as it relates to military action in the middle east. erin mclaughlin live for us, thanks. u.s. president barack obama has used some of his toughest language yet about isis during his address at the u.n. wednesday. he called on member nations to come together in the fight against isis. senior white house correspondent jim acosta reports.

>> reporter: president obama arrived at the united nations not to make peace, but to expand his new war on terrorism. in a rare appearance chairing a session of the u.n. security council, the president called on other nations to stop the flow of western foreign fighters into the ranks of isis and other terror groups. >> they may try to return to hair home countries to carry out deadly attacks. >> reporter: he told haider al abadi to brace himself for a long battle. >> this is not something that is going to be easy and it's not going to happen overnight. no god condones this terror. >> reporter: hours earlier in a speech to the u.n. general assembly the president urged the world to join forces to destroy isis as he warned the terror group soldiers to clear off the battlefield. >> only language understood by killers like this is the language of force so the united

states of america will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death. >> reporter: but mr. obama also took aim at the root causes with a message to muslims everywhere. >> it is time for the world especially muslim communities to explicitly forcefully and consistently reject the ideology of organizations like al qaeda and isil. no external power can bring about a transformation of hearts and minds. >> reporter: aides say the president added mention of the riots in ferguson that it's not perfect. still the president didn't win over adversaries. moments after he slammed russia moscow's delegation was caught on camera laughing and syria's ambassador to the u.n. accused the u.s. of siding with arab partners that support terrorism. >> you cannot be a terrorist

while fighting terrorists this. is why i'm saying usa needs reliable partners sump as syria, iraq and the other secular governments in the area. >> reporter: what the president did not mention is what victory against isil will look like and how long it will take. he will continue his theme of coalition building thursday when he speaks at a conference at the united nations on tackling the ebola outbreak in africa. jim acosta at the united nations. >> the united arab emirates is one of the arab countries with planes in the air hitting isis targets in syria. our becky ander anyone is in abu dhabi and joins us live. the united states made clear it was saudi arabia and the united arab emirates that took the lead in these latest air strikes on oil refineries. that's significant in itself. what roles did jordan, bahrain and qatar play this time around and what's been the reaction there in the region to these latest air strikes?

>> reporter: yeah, it's less clear. the statement that we got from u.s. central command confirming that both saudi and the uae had jets in the air over syria participating in these latest strikes, we do know in the initial phase some 48 hours ago, that jordan also flew its planes over syria. we haven't had that confirmation from u.s. centcom today or know what the latest role for bahrain or qatar has been. we know qatar has been playing a supporting role. there are jets in the skies from some of these arab allied countries. there is also logistical support and intelligence gathering. what do we know about the success or failure of these strikes, well, according to u.s. cent com initial intelligence indicating they have been successful. i guess that begs the question, what happens next?

isis possibly beginning to hide in more populous areas which is going to be very difficult when there are clearly very few boots on the ground whereas in iraq you have the peshmerga and iraqi government forces on the ground being aided by these strikes and these air cover. in syria, of course, it is completely different. we heard from president obama yesterday alluding to the middle east to the muslim community as a whole cleansing itself of this sort of per series ideology which provides the oxygen for extreme violence. i just want to quote back to you one of the things that struck me. he said today i ask the world to join in this effort. those who have joined isil should leave the battlefield while they can. he went on to say yesterday, next year we should all be prepared to announce the concrete steps that we have taken to counter extremist ideologies in our own countries.

there's been much talk about those who are involved and perhaps equally as much talk about those who aren't involved here in the middle east. that being turkey, for example, which has an enormous army, and many as sets they could fly in the air and also, of course, arafats that the u.s. might use going forward. there's also egypt and i was interested to hear what the foreign minister of egypt had to say at the u.n. yesterday. have a listen to this. >> so at this stage we are concentrating on the political, concentrating on utilizing our religious institutions to impact the ability of these organizations to recruit new fighters and, of course, to cut off the funding and provide information. we have very close cooperation and the information and intelligence fields with the united states and other european partners and i think this is an important role.

>> reporter: yeah, he says it's an important role. again, you know, looking to a supporting role as it were perhaps on the intelligence gathering side, but not actively participating for the time being at least in air strikes. that's pretty much the information that we have to date, certainly more sorties overnight and the initial indications at least of those strikes have been successful. >> all right. our becky anderson. we will come back to you later. appreciate it. coming up next on cnn we'll get you a live report from paris. there's some reaction there on the killing of a french hostage in algeria. why a group swearing allegiance to isis. plus, it's become a concern for governments around the world. foreign fighters returning home to plot attacks. coming up, new efforts to track terrorists before they can strike.

algerian extremists with links to isil claim to have decapitated a french hostage. >> he was kidnapped in algeria and online video posted wednesday appears to show his gruesome murder. at the united nations wednesday french president francois hollande called it a barbaric

act of terrorism tsarnaev today i am speaking before you with a particularly high level of emotion because one of my compatriots has just been the subject of a cowardly assassination in algeria. he was full of enthusiasm. he loved the mountains. and he thought that he would be able to pursue his passion moving into the area there in algeria. he was abducted and he was beheaded. >> for more let's go to senior international correspondent jim bittermann in paris and it is just so disturbing, jim, but what do authorities know about the circumstances leading up to the kidnapping and beheading? >> reporter: precious little and he was called last night and they said they would do everything they could to find

the captors of him. this has shocked the french, i think. mainly because he was kind of a french everyman, 55 years old, a mountain hiker, hiking guide who had gone off to algeria simply for a hiking vacation. he'd only been there two days when he was captured by this group which only a couple of weeks ago pledged aleenls to isis, a kind of small group that apparently was a part of the al qaeda of north africa, and the headlines this morning are reflective of all that parisians said the crime and this was picked up, something president hollande said, beheaded because he was french and that has touched a lot of people. can certainly unify the country to the right and the left. there's a lot of call for furnisheder action by the french not only to protect french

citizens but to defeat isis. >> of course, jim, these g beheadings have been designed to shock us and what role can we expect france to play in syria in the days going forward? >> reporter: well, that will be the question. the reason that gourdel was captured and assassinated was because the french were already playing a role which so to say they were bombarding the isis positions in iraq. france has been very hesitant to partake in the raids into syria simply because they believe that aids bashar al assad and they want to see him defeated and they've said that for more than a year now so for them it's a little conflictual situation however there is a high level defense council meeting as soon as the president gets back around about noon today, about four hours from now and we'll see what comes out of that but

that is one step that could be taken it seems doubtful at this stage the french will join in the bombing raids on syria but may do more in terms of bombing iraq and maybe do more in terms of military support for the raids. >> senior international correspondent jim bittermann reporting live from paris. many thanks to you. errol. >> now, u.s. president barack obama chaired a meeting of the united nations security council and the group unanimously passed a resolution wednesday aimed at stopping the flow of money and foreign fighters to isis. now, this comes as interpol improves the way it shares information about foreign fighters who travel to fight in iraq and syria. deborah feyerick has more. >> reporter: across the nation it is one of the top security concerns, foreign fighters currently in syria and iraq returning home to america to launch a lone wolf attack. >> the minds of these young men and women are poisoned by terrorists who brainwash them into committing unspeakable atrocities.

>> reporter: interpol enhancing its multinational databases to help border control agents better identify terrorists and more effectively share that information globally. >> working very closely with interpol in order to prioritize the information that they keep on foreign terrorist fighters. >> reporter: the interpol alert system can help countries identify suspected terrorists quickly and get the data to other officials. red notices or wanted identify terrorists for arrest and prosecution in u.s. courts. blue notices or be on the lookout flag possible terror suspects. and green notices alert authorities to hundreds of foreign nationals who have been to both iraq and afghanistan. >> you need to be able to identify them before they come back and cause harm. >> reporter: during the u.n. general assembly this week, america's top national security prosecutor jon karl lyhn carlin mapping a full press to use the interpol system to shut down

foreign fighters. how do you think this will help stem the flow? >> one of the most critical aspects to stemming the flow of foreign terrorist fighters is making sure that each country as they gather information about who these individuals are has a mechanism for sharing it and sharing it quickly. >> reporter: countries including turkey, canada and the u.s. will continue to have access to interpol data and biometrics to identify and stop jihadi fighters before it's too late. another tool the u.s. is using to fight potential terrorists is prosecution and national security officials are trying to persuade partner nations to pass laws that aggressively prosecute wanna be jihadis before they ever step foot outside their home country. deborah feyerick, cnn, new york. meantime, the u.s. led coalition to combat isis is about to get bigger. take a look at this. the netherlands is severaling several f-16 fighter jets to iraq and the belgium foreign minister says he going to ask parliament to deploy f-16s as

well for operations in iraq. they're fighting falcons and can travel at more than 2400 kilometers per hour. >> we'll take a short break. a radical cleric who has been accused of inspiring the september 11th hijackers is now a free man. we will have a report from jordan just ahead. you know what my business philosophy is, reynolds? no. not exactly. to attain success, one must project success.

welcome back, everyone. a muslim cleric who's been accused of inspiring some of the september 11th hijackers has just been released from custody in jordan >> that's right. we brought you this news 24 hours ago. abu qatada now may be free. karl penhaul reports from amman on what's next for the fiery preacher. >> reporter: homecoming for the must imcleric once branded one of the most infamous hate preachers, tight-lipped for now. >> now is not time to -- for things -- just happy. thank you. i will meet my mother now. thank you. >> reporter: hugs at his front door. waving off journalists'

questions about the war on terror or the new battle against isis in neighboring syria. it's a sharp turnaround in fortunes for abu qatada. they accused him of funding al qaeda linked groups and preaching in support of terrorism but they never found enough evidence to convict him. they allege he may have inspired some of the 9/11 hijackers. that was never proven either. hours earlier he had been sitting in a cage in a jordanian courtroom awaiting a verdict in his terror trial. he had been deported from britain to his native jordan in 2013 to face a retrial on plotting bomb attacks in th the '90s. he had been convicted in absentia but then britain and jordan cut a deal banning evidence that may have been obtained by torture in the case against qatada.

on wednesday, he was cleared of the last of all charges against him. in the weeks prior to his release there had been media reports that former firebrand qatada condemned isis as too extreme. he reportedly criticized the beheading of western hostages. qatada gave no hint on what he plans to do now that he's free. the british government banned him from ever returning to the uk. time to say a prayer at his neighborhood mosque but for now no fiery speeches. karl penhaul, cnn, amman. >> all right. another short break but coming up here on cnn, new air strikes on isis, who flew the latest bombing runs in syria and what they hit. plus, we'll get details from an activist in raqqah.

thanks for stay with us. we certainly do appreciate it. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. we want to check the headlines for you this hour. the pentagon says the latest coalition air strikes in syria took aim at the mobile oil refineries run by isis which makes up to $2 million a day from its oil operations. the u.s. says the majority of the strikes were delivered by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. >> only language understood by killers like this is the

language of force. so the united states of america will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death. >> u.s. president barack obama there urging members of the u.n. to come together to fight isis militants but he warned the battle won't be easy and it won't happen overnight. mr. obama says countries can help by cutting off the terror group's funding. the situation between russia and ukraine is also on the u.n.'s agenda. on wednesday the ukrainian prime minister appealed to western states not to ease sanctions against moscow. he asked that they wait until kiev can claim back control of its embattled territories. now the pentagon says it is still assessing the impact of the latest round of air strikes on isis targets in syria but it appears initially anyway that they were successful. >> yeah, and we want to show you now what's at stake. here's tom foreman with the maps and the numbers.

>> when you look at the pattern of air strikes against isis out here you see many isis strongholds hit in many different ways but now the latest focus steams to be on this, areas where isis is accessing oil. why dogs that matter? because oil is important as a lifeblood for isis. if you look at big cities where there is a lot of oil production like raqqah which has about a quarter million people that's not what these air strikes are aimed at. not the big oil facilities. instead it's in the countryside 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 that they are strong in over here and look at the result. these 12 refineries that were knocked out would produce according to u.s. officials 300 to 500 barrels of oil a day. that's being sold for $30 per

barrel and all of it combined not just the refineries but 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 set up their operations and hold so much ground out here. that's why it's advanced to this phase because of the belief if you attack the money you can cut the legs out from underneath them and drive them out of the territory eventually. >> tom foreman with that. it bore the bankrupt of air strikes by u.s. and coalition partners earlier this week. >> senior international correspondent arwa damon has been in touch with activists in the city and filed this report. >> reporter: air strikes were taking place we were speaking with a syrian activist from raqqah and he was saying that they were welcoming this latest round of attacks on isis facilities especially because it

seems at this stage that the targets were outside of populated areas but still would be damaging to the terrorist organization itself. he was talking about how the mood in raqqah was conflicted. people on the one hand happy that the world was finally paying attention and doing something about the nightmarish conditions they've been living under. on the other hand great fears because isis fighters had entrenched themselves even further within 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, there's also been going after other islamist units such as the nusra front but many inside syria view it as being an entity

that fought against the regime and fought against isis. people concerned because they don't know where the americans and its allies are going to 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, isis attacks but now also the possibility of becoming victims of these ongoing strikes. arwa damon, cnn, turkey. >> now, british prime minister david cameron is recalling parliament in an effort to get them to approve action against isis. he wants british jets to take part in the air strikes but only in iraq and also says every nation has a role to play here. >> we should be inclusive working with partners in the region who are prepared to be part of the solution, potentially including iran. >> i draw your attention to that

last line potentially including iran. becky anderson is following developments from abu dhabi. prime minister cameron met with president rouhani in new york, the first time the leaders of these two countries have done so since the revolution back in 1979. is there now an opening here perhaps for iran to help out meaningfully in some way? >> reporter: well, we're going to hear what the president said to our colleague fareed zakaria shortly. he didn't mince his words about what he felt was going on and perhaps once we've heard from him we can draw our own conclusions. let me just step back for a moment and bring you up to date on what we know at this stage. certainly u.s. central command confirming that air strikes were ongoing again and that saudi and the uae were heavily involved in

participation in the sky, initial intelligence indicating the strikes have been successful. but i guess the question here is what happens next, of course, will isis begin to hide in more populous areas and where is their support? i want to bring you video of a pro-isis demonstration as we believe it to be and just let me talk you through what you're seeing here. this is in the town of hula located in northeast palm, the demonstration appears to be led by an isis militant whose appearance in clothing and sidearm is consistent and the chants you are hearing are mostly anti-saudi and saudi royal family and lumped together so far as these demonstrators are concerned as the crusading alliance in the name of isis calling the u.s.-led coalition

to fight isis the crusading alliance, so that's as things stand on the ground over the last sort of 24 to 48 hours, certainly president assad in syria, his supporters saying he feels vindicated by the enact that isis is now being attacked -- degraded to be destroyed by this coalition. look, we were talking about rouhani, president rouhani, the iranian president will address the united nations, one of the first key speakers to the united nations general assembly later on today and it will be fascinating to hear what he says. ahead that have he did speak to fareed zakaria and have a listen to what he told cnn. >> translator: the american authorities 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. be that as it may, it is another group that as they have announced i'm not sure what the plan is, they say we wish to train these folks in another country, military training and they even announce the time frame. with whose permission, with whose authority? with what mandate according to what international laws and norms are they doing this? >> so we await to hear rouhani's full speech later on today. look, i mine it's clear and this is well reported that iran has been actively involved in helping shia mischa on michon - on the ground and see them as c

contempible but when it comes to this from what david cameron said there are great question marks against that particularly when you hear the president talking about the fsa and how he feels about the west arming what he calls another terrorist group. back to you guys. >> so, becky, as we approach that very significant speech at the u.n. coming up tomorrow, how do we assess what options are now on the table? are things in the region just a bit more practical now that you have the fact that saudi and emirati planes helped out? will it be easy to cut off funding to these groups in light of this security council resolution. with arab nations taking part in these air strikes in syria, the coalitions coming together, have g geopolitics in the region changed and what should we be listening to from mr. rouhani later today?

>> reporter: yeah, you make a couple of really good points. le's just tackle the geopolitics. before this operation against isis to a certain extent but certainly in syria, this region here and you'll be well aware of this, you lived here for quite a considerable period of time, the uae in what's called the gcc and there's been a real rift between some members of the gcc, that being saudi and here, the uae and qatar, who have hosted the muslim brotherhood in the past and they are seen by other members of the gcc including the administration here in abu dhabi as fostering the rise of political islam and that's a real fear to the region here, not just isis and the uae ambassador to washington made this point. isis is a big problem to this region and it's around isis that you are seeing these countries coalescing and the band-aid put on this sort of rift even here

between qatar and the rest of the gcc members but it's important to point out as uae ambassador did the isis is one problem here. the wider problem is the ongoing problem of extremist violence so so far as the geopolitics are concerned and shifting of the tectonic plates as it were you have a narrative that says this region is concerned about the rise of extremist violence. whether that is under the umbrella of isis or under the umbrella of the various militias in libya or the muslim brotherhood in egypt and elsewhere and turkey is allied with qatar in the concerns about its support of political islam as well so certainly the geopolitical story is shifting here and you have sort of one

voice so far as let's get rid of this extremist violence narrative is concerned. so far as who getti ting it destroyed is concerned and that's more questionable. there are many competing factions here. you have seen five arab nations either participating or supporting this u.s.-led coalition. we haven't seen the likes of egypt or turkey involved yet in the air or on the ground, for example, and i'm not sure that you will see that any time soon and then you've got the likes of iran. you know, the big elephant in the room, the great sort of, you know, the play, the great foes which are saudi and iran, we'll have to wait to see what president rouhani says today but if the west, the u.s., britain, other arab countries think that iran is going to throw its weight behind a u.s.-led

coalition to fight isis any time soon, i think they've probably misjudged things but let's wait and see. >> yeah, becky, it's fascinating. it's complicated and it's all changes as we speak. fantastic update there from a hazy morning in abu dhabi in front of the sheikh zaid mosque. becky anderson, thanks. >> with that as the backdrop thousands of syrians are leaving their hopes behind. what they're finding across the border after a dangerous journey. we're back in a moment. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits

with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

in his address the turkish president called attention for the need for increased international support for syrian refugees. >> that's right. about 1.5 million syrians have taken refuge in turkey as isis advanced in northern syria. phil black reports on their treacherous journey to escape the violence. >> reporter: people who have lost almost everything are lashed by the wind and dust. it is a brutal end to a journey that's taken them from their hopes possibly forever. for people who have suffered so

much the land is unforgiving when the dust and wind blows it is impossible to breathe, take your glasses off, it is very difficult to see. and this is what these people have been experiencing for more than a week in some cases but these are the lucky ones who now have safety and security from isis. the dust storm lifts it reveals the exhausted scared faces of some of the latest syrians trying to escape violence by fleeing to turkey. when they're allowed to cross the border they're searched, fed, given water. children are immunized. this tent is filled with the noise of children's fear and pain. but they're here because of their parents' fear of isis. 10-year-old ibrahim explains simply "isis is now in our village, they attacked us and we
