>> that's going to do it for us tonight. thanks for joining us. >> our coverage continues now with john voss and zane asher. >> thanks, alisyn. hello, thanks for joining us. we would like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. french fighter jets now joining the air assault against isis, just as the british parliament gets set to vote on its own military involvement. plus this -- >> we are not moving fast enough. we are not doing enough. >> at the u.n., president obama and world leaders focus on ebola and one african doctor may have found a break through treatment. >> break through treatment indeed. also more than six weeks after

the violent protests that captivated the world, the ferguson police chief is apologizing. >> we'll begin with britain which is set to join the u.s.-led coalition against isis. the prime minister there has recalled parliament and in the coming hours, law maker es are expected to approve air strikes. but no ground troops and operations will be limited to iraq. no involvement in syria. >> men while, u.s. and french fighter jets carried out the latest round of air strikes in iraq on thursday. and war planes from the u.s. and saudi arabia and the uae struck isis oil refineries in syria earlier. max foster is live with abu dhabi join us. what's the strategy here? >> they're trying to hit isis in the pocket that i know get so much financing, obviously, from their the oil efforts and

they're using these mobile refineries to move around. they can dismantle refineries and move them around. the balance for the air strikes, and a lot of air strikes are being coordinated from here, actually. the majority of flights are coming from the uae and saudi arabia. the real balance there is to take out isis operations but not absolutely damage oil assets in that region. once isis moves out, the nearry is iraqi and syrian forces should be able to take control of those. these are the latest images we have. and it does seem as though certain amounts of damage have been done to the refineries. and this is what the pentagon said about the balance about taking the assets out, but not completely destroying them. >> we want to keep some infrastructure available in hopes the refiners can be used by the moderate opposition. >> but that's actually where the real money comes from.

the crude oil, the infrastructure, that's where the isis money comes from. if you're really going to take out isis' financial capability? >> they're not going to be using these refineries for some time. >> but they can be rebuilt, that's the point, zain. we're expecting more updates about continuing air strikes and what they're hitting. but certainly the focus at the moment seems to be the oil refineries and they've had some success so far. >> it's interesting. it's one thing to take out the oil refineries and cut off their funding. but as you and i both know, the problem in iraq is largely political. you have sunnis who have been d disenfranchised for a long time. the president of iraq is going to be speaking at the u.n. tomorrow. what can he say to the world to convince everyone that his government is going to be different? >> the issue he's got, and we heard from the iraqi prime minister on the sidelines at the u.n. yesterday, concerns about

iraqi sovereignty. they just don't want to see -- i mean, iran, doesn't want to see what's happened in yemen and sudan, seen as attacking the sovereignty of those countries. they don't want to see the same thing happen bing in iraq. they welcome the sar strikes obviously, but these need to be short term and decisive, whereas iraq controls what happens on the ground. and everyone has been very careful here. and you've seen today as well, you're reporting earlier about how the uk is very clear that they're not going to have troops on the ground, but they may be involved in air strikes. and that will be welcomed by ir iraq. so what we're looking to hear from iraq today is how they're balancing the welcome of air strikes but keeping control of sovereignty. i think that's going to be the message from the iraqi president today as he speaks at the u.n. balancing the air strikes and coalition but also iraq

maintaining control of the sovereignty. >> max, thank you so much for being there. we appreciate it. >> okay now, along with those oil refineries that are controlled by isis, the u.s. is also targeting the al qaeda-linked khorasan group in the northwest part of the syria. that happened on tuesday. but the director of the fbi said it's unclear whether air strikes completely disrupted their plans to attack western targets. and until the final assessment is done, he'll assume that threat remains. >> meanwhile, the u.s. is denying there are any known threat to its subway systems. the iraqi prime minister has said iraq uncovered an isis plot targeting subways in the u.s. and paris. that doesn't quite match what a high-level state department official is saying. >> he confirmed to me, there is no specific credible threat whatsoever that they have uncovered to the united states.

he was discussing in general terms, a threat particularly of foreign fighters and isis fighters. there are routinely information uncovered from those captured or those killed, the aspirations of these foreign fighters to attack outside of their borders, including the west and including here in the united states. >> the iraqi prime minister on the job for six weeks learning that his words have consequences. the fai also said on thursday it now knows the man here behind the mask. the isis militant who is speaking on the execution video of american james foley, but for now, officials are not naming him publicly. the militant is dubbed jihadi john. he's dressed in black. he speaks with a british accent, and yields a very large knife. intelligence videos believe he's the same man in the gruesome videos in two other murders. iraq's prime minister has order eed an investigation after up to 300 soldiers were killed

when isis militants overran an iraqi military base. >> all this happened on sunday near fallujah, 30 miles west of baghdad. survivors say they were under heavy attack, running low on ammunition, and their pleas for air strikes went unanswered. we would like you to hear from one survivor right now. this was posted online but we cannot confirm its authenticity. >> an armored vehicle entered among the brigade and threw up the soldiers. another humvee entered and blew up as well. a lot were killed. many were wounded. myself and others escaped towards the orchards. less than 200 survived from four regiments. the rest were either killed or wounded. >> frightening indeed. now the attack raises more questions about the iraqi military's ability to tackle the isis threat.

>> all the details of what happened there just a short time ago. >> reporter: this base was in an area that had already been overrun by isis. it was essentially surrounded. now the iraqi army was trying to get to bring them food or water. they weren't able to do that. somehow they managed to drive into the middle of the camp an armored vehicle with two tons of explosives in it. it may have just slipped in because it looked like an iraqi army vehicle because it probably was one of those vehicles they manage to loot from the iraqi army when it fled from mosul back in june. this does underscore the continuing weaknesses within the army.

the iraqi prime minister has called for an investigation into this and another incident in anbar province to find out what happened, why did their officers, for instance, essentially run away. and it's important to keep in mind that this particular base was only 50 kilometers, or about 30 miles to the west of baghdad, the capital. >> let's go to christopher hill on this. ambassador hill, it's always good to speak to you. if you were still the u.s. ambassador in baghdad, isis just 30 miles away, having seized an iraqi base, executed hundreds of iraqi soldiers, what would you be doing right now? >> i would certainly be very close to the iraqi government, seeing what they're doing and how we could help. this is going to be a long-term problem in iraq. it is not easy to deal with these people. and certainly, the iraqi army

has had its problems. had its problems under maliki and now under abadi. >> is secretary kerry right when he says baghdad could have fallen without u.s. air strikes? >> it's hard to say. i would like to think there would be enough people depending the city isis would not be able to go in there. but i think he was wise to not wait and find out that way. >> there's not lot of support to the theory that baghdad could fall to isis. wouldn't baghdad be the next best thing? a small attack would still prove they're alive and ticking. >> if you look at the terrain there, i think they would have trouble masking troops or bringing columns of vehicles. i think they would get hit pretty hard. i don't think it's a real option for them. i think the wrael issue continues to be syria and what we're going to do about that. because frankly, there's just no ground component. as bad as the iraqi may perform

on a given day, they're better than nothing. and that's what we've got in syria. >> there's a complete vacuum in syria. these daily air strikes going in syria, there's no ground forces to actually fill a vacuum. what's going to happen to syria in the meantime, before the ground troops are trained up, which could be a year at least. >> i think you're going to see this war be bifurcated. there will be an effort to retake territory in iraq, whether it's kurdish forces or iraqi army, rather reconstituted iraqi army with american advisers. i could see an effort to push isis out of these areas of iraq. the problem in syria, i think it's going to be very different. we're going to look for targets of opportunity, look for leadership nodes, economic nodes. it will be that kind of conflict.

>> there does seem to be a lack of leadership in the iraqi army. how long will it take to undo the lack of leadership under malaki. >> i think it started under the sunnis. anyone who was really experienced in the army was out, and frankly, many of them are on the wrong side these days. so this is a problem that's long-term in the making and it's going to take quite a while to fix. certainly there were people that were just cronies of malaki. i would submit to you, there are a lot of other problems with the iraqi army today. >> yeah. i was there that day when the announcement came through that the baath party has been officially banned. it was quite unbelievable at the time. good to speak with you. thank you. >> pleasure. >> and just the fact that isis is so close to baghdad has to make everyone nervous. >> very nervous. and there still is this

possibility, dmiepd of attack, a small attack would be a huge victory. >> with just a few hours away from the start of debate in the british parliament over joining the air campaign against isis in iraq. up next, we're going to go live to london to hear prime minister david cameron's case. ♪ want to change the world? create things that help people. design safer cars. faster computers. smarter grids and smarter phones. think up new ways to produce energy.

the british parliament is expected to vote on joining the air war on isis, but only in iraq, not syria. this motion expected to easily passed, supported by leaders of all three major parties. does that mean that fighter jets could be carrying out air strikes within hours of the vote? >> good morning, john. yes, the vote is expect ed to pass. we have the backing of the three

major parties. 5 1/2 hours from now the vote will begin. expected to last between 6 1/2 to 7 hours. long day. if it does pass and indeed it is expected to pass, then the sense is these planes are ready to go whenever david cameron gives the green light. that could be anything from hours to a day. but obviously by the end of place, it might take slightly long, but everything is ready to go. as you said, the vote here is expected to pass. the foreign secretary phillip hammond said yesterday he was very confident that members of parliament will approve this motion and it's very clear to make distinction, it's not against isis in syria, this is simply in iraq. but despite the confidence within the goth, therest a sense there will be tough questioning in the commons today exactly about the air strikes in iraq,

what is the strategy? what is the length, what's the duration? and indeed, what is the objective. so there will be some, without a doubt, some tough questioning. but the majority expects to pass. for prime minister cameron, this is crucially important. if you remember last year, john, he faced a bruising defeat in the kmops over a vote against syria, and that obviously hoping to turn things around. the majority seems, the mood has changed and people here are really backing this vote, john. >> they have left the door open for a possible vote for military action on isis targets in syria. so where does public opinion in britain stand? >> exactly. they have indeed. i put a copy of the motion. i'm going to read it out. this motion does not endorse uk air strikes in syria as part of this campaign, and any proposal to do so will be subject to a separate vote in parliament. so if it does go ahead, if and

when that vote goes ahead, we need another vote. but the public opinion has changed here. people say it's a completely different situation than we saw from a year or so ago. one is because the newly elected government of al-abadi who's invited, who's asked for help in iraq. so that's the fist thing. secondly is the brutality of the group that we' seen, the isis group, beheadings not just of u.s. journalists, but also of a british aide worker, david haynes. all this has brought it home. and the feeling is the consensus is that people are slightly more happy that the government is taking a answer? this. and let me just talk to you about the latest polls. we've only got one poll coming out today conducted for a newspaper here the is sun. and this is showing the largest support yet of air strikes in iraq. 57% say now in favor. 24 against. the remaining really don't know

where to vote. and in terms of also syria, talking about the next step if if does go through, it suggests 51% in favor of air strikes in syria. 26 again, which is a complete tunaround from what we saw last year, which was 2 to 1 against. so these numbers obviously for prime minister david cameron waking up this morning will be happy toer th hear that he has backing there, not just some of the voters but not just of the members of parliament indeed the people here of this country. >> good to see you, thanks. >> and britain's involvement is so much more politically than militarily. >> exactly. it's all now moving towards syria. iraq is the easy part. not complicated. it's pretty simple. it gets a lot more complicated and difficult when they start talking about syria.

ebola is a horrific disease that's wiping out entire families. it's turned simple acts of love and comfort and kindness like holding a sick friend's hand or embracing a dying child into potentially fatal acts. >> that was u.s. president barack obama talking about the human cost of the ebola crisis. now, mr. obama and world leaders discussed the ebola outbreak during a high-level meeting at

the general assembly on thursday. >> officials warn the number of cases could approach 1.4 million by january. and doctors are struggling already trying to treat the thousands who are infected. and with shortages of almost everything, elizabeth cohen met one doctor experimenting with an hiv drug to treat ebola patients and it seems to be working. >> we're taking you inside an ebola isolation unit in rural africa. a worker carrying our camera. going deeper, still more sick patients, children. >> in a situation like this, i have to use every brain cells to save some people life. >> this is our central supply room. >> for dr. goby logan, desperate times call for desperate measures. he's experimenting with an hiv drug called

mamividine. >> i think i need to try this medication. >> this is as close as i could get to this ebola isolation unit, and i want to introduce you to four young men, elizabeth, susan, fatu and massa. they came here with ebola, but they were given the hiv drug and now they're doing well. they're able to walk around and they'll be able to be discharged soon? >> how do you feel now? >> the doctor has tried the drug on 15 patients so far and remarkably, only two have died. the outbreak is killing at a rate of 70% across africa, but in this group of patients, just 7%. is it possible that an effective treatment from ebola may have come here, from your ebola treatment center in this rural

area? >> yes, it's highly possible. >> we reached out to top scientists in the u.s. does dr. logan's approach make sense? they say yes. ebola and hiv cells are a lot alike, but they want a lot more proof. in the united states, some doctors would say no, don't use a drug until you need a study. you need a study first. >> our people are dying and you're talking about study. it's a matter of doing all that i can do as a doctor to save some people life. >> incredible stuff really. what you can do when you put your mind to it, i guess. still to come here on cnn, fighting on two fronts. syrian rebels put aside their differences to take on isis as well as bashar al assad.

been arrested on suspicion of terror offenses. british media reports one of the men is a former leader of a banned radical group. police say the arrests are not in response of any immediate threat to public safety. >> ukraine's president says his country will be able to make a bid for eu membership by 2020. mr. poroshenko outlined economic and social reforms on thursday. he says he will meet with the russian president vladimir putin within the next three weeks. >> but back to the top story this hour. the war on isis and a ground breaking new agreement that could help coalition forces defeat the terror group. >> moderate factions in syria say they'll put their religious differences to one side to defeat both isis and president bashar al assad. >> they gathered just across the border in turkey. at least 20 leaders of mostly moderate rebel groups, hammers out an agreement in writing, an

alliance that brings minority christians, moderate muslims, kurds and others together for the first time in a unified front against isis and the syrian regime of bashar a al assad. >> translator: yes, good signs of unity. >> reporter: the deal facilitated by the staff of the u.s. house of foreign afires committee and finalized in a push by an illinois congressman. >> there's a perception in the united states that somehow bashar al assad is a protector of christian minorities and he's not. it created the situation that we call isis today. you see the christian minority group saying we want to have an alliance with the free syrian army. and it's the beginning of hopefully a long process that's very successful to bring the syrian people freedom. >> congress has been skeptical of funding for fear u.s.-made

weapons and aid could fall into the wrong hands. he's still not sure whom to trust. >> are these guys worthy of our trust and our guns. >> they have received some aid and have been successful in striking back against isis and the assad regime. he claims you'll never get rid to isis until you get rid of the regime of bah shash al assad in the end it's a question of the

support they're receiving. they are vetted, they are trusted. we need to increase that flow. >> getting the flow 12 months from now will be different? >> those bring zbads might not be here. then they will have a much larger crisis on their hands. >> several leaders told cnn the u.s.-led coalition air strike against isis and other terrorist strong holds in syria are only half measures. and in some cases, actually hurting their cause. >> they say there has been no coordination of the strikes. and in some cases, bombs have come dangerously close to what the u.s. should consider to be friendly forces. a strategy rebel leaders believe so far has played right into the hands of bashar al assad. drew griffin, cnn, turkey. >> many thanks to drew griffin for that report.

tl trk thank you. how zo they make sure they vet these rebels to make sure they're arming the right people? >> that's always a problem. it's going to be difficult. >> it's not like they say they have to have a college degree and a fullback ground check. that's not g going to happen. at some point, we have to trust the locals to do the vetting. we find a few people we trust and have them do the vetting of the people under their command. it's not a perfect setup, but at some point, you have to take the risk to do something. >> should the u.s. somewhere coordinated the air strikes so the rebels would have been ready to go in and fill the void with cities like raqqa for example. in a perfect world, that would be great. we did not have the requisite contacts with these groups. the contacts that we have with the free syrian army is very, very tenuous at best.

there's reluctance on the part of the united states to provide any information to an unvetted group. they don't know what's going to happen to that information. the last thing we would want is any warning to an isis group in a particular area that the strikes were inbound. >> the uk right now is getting ready to decide on conducting air strikes in iraq. now the more they sort of conduct air strikes in iraq, are you pushing isis more into syria. are you worsening the problem in syria by continuing to hammer iraq only? >> well, i think that might happen, but we haven't seen that yet. we saw some movement between iraq and syria from iraq back into syria prior to the initial air strikes. now it's getting pretty difficult for isis to move things. once they move, they're easily detectable. once you detect them, you can strike them. we did see some repositioning of

assets back in across syria. we feel syria was probably safer. what we're seeing on the ground in iraq is we stopped the momentum. isis was on a pretty good role. they were able to stop that momentum. the one thing air can't do very well is roll back land that's already been taken. that you need ground forces to do and we're relying on the iraqi army and the kurds to take the fight to isis, with american air support, to push it back. but i have to tell you, zain, what's happened over the last couple of days has been very, very frustrating, especially when you see these iraqi army units still not being able to fight isis. >> right. certainly a complicated problem, especially when you consider that isis is better equipped than the iraqi military. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it.

>> well, zain, coalition forces launched their attacks from the air, we're now getting the view from the ground. in syria, one woman went understood cover to show the world what life is like under the control of isis. >> this video was taken in raqqa in march of this year. walking through the heart of that north central syrian city completely under the control of isis, she showed how the city had changed. the isis flags, the spray painted slogans and even incident where is people were forced into public prayer. she went out of her way to interact with isis militants, showing women in conservative dress, one carrying an ak-47. and even her own experience being stopped.

>> what some might find astonishing is the enthusiasm some women have for life under isis. her visit to an internet center revealed how women speaking fluent french interacted with concerned family members in their home countries. >> translator: i don't want to come back. because i feel good here. it's not a question of coming back or not. if i want, i can come back. i just don't want to come back because i feel good here. >> reporter: clearly this family member wasn't convinced and was pleading this young woman to come home from syria. >> translator: stop it. it doesn't help if you're scared or you cry. do you hear me?

i'm telling you, there's no point to you crying or being scared. what you see on tv is wrong. do you understand? they exaggerate everything on tv. they amplify everything, everything, everything. >> that was in march, fully six months ago. today the situation has changed. in the wake of u.s. air strikes on raqqa, activists told cnn many isis leaders had fled the city. many civilians, including women and children were also moving out. others were keeping a low profile. many are in fear civilians will be caught in these intense air strikes. some isis fight es we were told had moved into civilian areas effectively making the local population human shields in what is expected to be a long fight for survival. >> unbelievable she risked her life to bring us that story inside raqqa. >> you don't see that every day. >> still to come on cnn. the chief of police in ferguson,

missouri, apologizes for all the recent trouble in his city, but tells cnn why he has absolutely no intention of resigning.

eric holder is resigning. he's been a focus of controversy over same-sex marriage, spy on the media, and a gun running sting gone wrong at the u.s.-mexican border. mr. obama lavished phrase on the first african-american attorney general. noting that holder's justice department had prosecuted hundreds of terror cases. >> obama paid hemade headlines y when he visited ferguson. and once again, on the streets of ferguson, there is a standoff between police on one side of the street and protesters as well. that happened hours ago when the police chief came out to speak to protesters. he was heckled. they said they wanted him to resign. he said he would not be standing down. then that scuffle broke out. we're not sure how or why it all started. but a number of arrests have been made. >> now the city's police chief

is making news. thomas jackson says he is sorry about the recent events in ferguson. >> i want to say this to the brown family, no one who has not experienced the loss of a child can understand what you're feeling. i am truly sorry for the loss of your son. i'm also sorry that it took so long to remove michael from the street. >> it's the apology those around the nation and in ferguson have been waiting to hear. >> it's the first time the embattled ferguson police chief has said i'm sorry in the nearly seven weeks since unarmed teenager michael brown was shot and killed by ferguson police officer darren wilson. >> you issued an apology video today. >> i did. >> why did it take so long for that to happen?

>> well, there's been so much going on, and every day there's a different challenge since august 9. but this is something that's been weighing on me. it needed to be said. it should have been said a long time ago. >> emotions in the community still raw. the protest unrelenting. and the pain over michael brown's death still remains. >> what can they do to start to build that trust? >> i think what the police need to do is first admit that there is a problem within the police department. >> there's never been the intention of the ferguson police department to intentionally target individuals because of race. if there is that happening it's a crime and it needs to be addressed. >> new diversity train, new body cameras worn by every officer. a civilian oversight board.

these are among the plans for the police in the city. but for. so, that's not enough. >> ur still the leader of the ferguson police department, correct? >> yes, i am. >> have you heard of any plans or intentions to remove you from that position? >> no, i haven't. >> are you aware of at least some of the vocal people, protesters included, who would like to see you removed from your position? >> sure, i have. and i've talked to a lot of those people. and i've talked to a lot of people who have initially called for that and then have changed their mind after having meetings and discussions about moving forward. i'm going to stay here and see it through. >> he hopes his apology is a fresh begin popping. >> how big of a test has this been for you personally and professionally? >> the biggest test of my life. >> an ongoing test for this 35-year law enforcement veteran.

a test for a community thrown into the national spotlight. with perhaps the biggest test yet to come. depending on the outcome of the grand jury proceedings when we'll hear whether officer wilson will face charges or not for brown's death. >> i know there are residents who are worried. are you worried? >> no. we can manage this. i think we can come out much better than we started. >> cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> a south carolina highway patrol officer is now facing felony charges in the shooting of an unarmed man. >> this is absolutely shocking. it happened earlier this month. the victim was stopped for a seat belt violation. just to warn you out there. some of you may find this video very disturbing. >> can i see your license please? get out of the car! get out of the car!

get on the ground! get on the ground! >> it's incredible to watch. as you saw there, the victim had just gotten out of his car and the trooper shot him as he reached back into the vehicle. as he was on the ground wounded, he asked the officer why he fired his gun. >> what did i do, sir? >> are you hit? >> i think so. i can't feel my leg. i don't know what happened. i just grabbed my license. >> the state trooper has been fired and is charged with assault and battery. if convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. jones, the victim, was hospitalized with a hip wound and then later released. >> what is incredible is they had a conversation. >> he said why did you shoot me? >> it seems surreal. >> we're going to come back on cnn. the new iphone isn't officially
