♪ introducing the world's first curved ultra high definition television from samsung. air strikes pound isis targets in syria and iraq. the uk is set to debate whether they will take part. we'll get you live to london in moments. desperate times call for desperate measures. meet one doctor in the heart of the ebola zone who is giving patients a drug to fight the disea disease. is it working? >> this is something that's just been weighing on me. it was something that needed to be said. should have been said a long time ago. >> ferguson's police chief offers an apology nearly seven
12:01 am
weeks after the killing of an unarmed teen. a big welcome to those of you watching in the u.s. and all around the world. we appreciate your company here. i'm errol barnett. >> and i'm natalie allen. the uk expected to join the coalition air campaign against isis, but only in iraq. parliament will be taking that up in a few hours. >> there's been no let-up in the air strikes. here's the latest information we have for you. u.s. and french fighter jets carried out the latest round in iraq on thursday. and warplanes from the u.s., saudi arabia and the united arab emirates struck isis oil refineries in syria earlier. >> more now on those air strikes. max foster joins us live from abu dhabi. max? >> reporter: we eastern waiting for the latest update on the latest stroikes. the strategy seems to be
12:02 am
targeting these mobile refineries that isis use to finance the significant number of troops they have to pay every day. so we're waiting for that update. but those strikes have been pretty effective. they have been video released by the pentagon, and it's a very precise operation. it's not a case of taking them out all together. >> we want to keep some infrastructure available in the hopes that these refineries can be used again one day by the moderate opposition. >> the crude oil, the infrastructure, that's where the isis money comes from. so if you're going to take out their financial capability -- >> they're not going to be using these refineries for some time.
12:03 am
>> reporter: a very, very rich terrorist organization, dependent on oil money. so that is the strategy it seems right now. >> the new head of iraq's government is about to speak before the u.n., max, in new york. what is at stake for him plit clilt as the fighting gets more intense? >> well, he's getting support from the international community based on the fact that the new government is inclusive and brings in all elements of iraqi society. he will needs to explain how that's working and how it will work ahead to maintain that international support. also, he's important to the international community in the sense of you've got david cameron and the british parliament later on discussing whether or not to get involved in air strikes. they are doing that by having the legal justification that iraq has asked for help. so what is his interpretation?
12:04 am
it seems to be a bit of a disconnect. the iraqis see these air strikes as temporary, but washington and london suggesting it's going to be years worth of work here. we we're going to see what his view is on the coalition and international support on air strikes. he certainly doesn't want boots on the ground and have iraqi sovereignty questioned in that way, using pakistan as an example, saying the drone strikes that america continues to inflict on pakistan has been a problem. they don't want the same thing happening in iraq. >> we'll hear from him later today. max, thank you. iraq's prime minister has ordered an investigation after up to 300 soldiers were killed when isis militants overran an iraqi military base on sunday.
12:05 am
this is especially alarming because it happened ju eed just kilometers west of baghdad. we want you to hear one survivor's account. we have to note that cnn cannot verify the authenticity. but here it is. >> translator: an armored vehicle entered the brigade and blew up. then isis started firing from heavy machine guns and another humvee entered and blew up, as well. a lot were kid, many wounded. myself and others escaped towards the orchards. less than 200 survived from four regiments. the rest were killed or wounded. >> survivors say they were running out of ammunition while their pleas for air strikes went unanswered. >> now the daughter of murdered british aid worker david hanes backs british military intervention in iraq. he was killed by isis militants
12:06 am
earlier this month. his family pleaded for his release, but that had no impact and his captives posted a chilling video online two weeks ago, and his daughter has called for isis to be wiped out. >> you can't be doing this to people and get away with it. hundreds of civilians have been killed by them, and they need to be stopped. the air strikes and whatever it takes is what it takes. >> the said her father wanted to help everyone without regard to race or religion. let's get you the latest information on the fight for isis. in just over two hours, the british parliament will begin debating whether to join the air strikes in iraq.
12:07 am
we're joined now live. you've got the three major parties endorsing this plan. a lot of confidence that lit pass, but what are we in for today? how long will it take to get to that point? are we likely to hear some vocal voices of dissent? >> reporter: good morning, errol. yes, the three main parties here at westminster reportedly all backing this vote, this motion that will be put through. in about 2 1/2 hours or so, 650 or so mps will be voting. many will be asking some very important questions. you might see a bit of a free debate taking place. that's because people want to know what is the strategy, how long is the uk going to be in this for? will this mean troops on the
12:08 am
ground, how much will this cost? and all these questions are questions that will come out today. what we know will happen is in 2 1/2 hours or so, prime minister cameron will start with a speech. he will lay down the motion of what they are voting on, saying this is legally right. the legal case for air strikes, saying it's based on the law and it is legitimate. then we'll see the debate within the comments between the different members of parliament. then we'll find a conclusion from one of members of prime minister cameron's party. so that's what we expect will happen. overall, we are expecting it to go through. for prime minister cameron, this the a huge deal, because the last time there was a common vote if you remember, errol, this time last year, and that
12:09 am
was voted down and prime minister cameron faced a bruising defeat. most likely this will be pass, but without a doubt there will be some people who are reticent about this and various reservations. >> we'll get to some conclusion today, but as you look at the long-term strategy to fight isis, this is going to take years. it doesn't end today. isis, that threat based in syria, arab forces with the u.s. now taking air strikes there. the uk not doing that and not deciding that today. but what are the eventual chances of the uk approving action in syria? >> reporter: that's exactly it. it's important that we make that clear to our audience. the motion that's been put through today has nothing to do
12:10 am
with syria. it's basically air strikes against isis targets in iraq and iraq only. anything else to do with syria will have to -- need a second motion. in fact, i've got the motion here with me. it says that -- recognizes the motion does not endorse uk air strikes in syria. any proposal to do so will be subject to a separate vote in parliament. many people are asking will we be able to do enough damage to isis in iraq only? in fact, basically saying the military action in iraq "would be meaningless without further action in syria." so these are the questions some people might find hard voting today. interestingly enough, public opinion has swayed slightly for various reasons. one, because the iraqi prime
12:11 am
minister haider al abadi was actuallyi actually asking the uk for help. and we have seen the beheadings of the journalists and british aid worker. a recent poll shows the mood, showing that 57% of the people are now in favor of air strikes dpe against isis in iraq only. they've also asked about syria, which is not a motion being argued today. 51% in favor. 26% against. a complete turn around when you look at the numbers from last year when it was 2-1 against. so very stark day here in the uk, but it will be one that
12:12 am
without a doubt -- >> we're going to stay tune for that, and the fight against isis doesn't stop in iraq. i'm interested to see this heated debate when it gets under way. good to see you, joining us this morning from london. thanks. the u.s. denies there is any known threat to its subway systems. iraqi prime minister haider al abadi said iraq uncovered an isis plot targeting subways in the u.s. and paris. the city's mayio reassured the public. >> i have a simple message for all new yorkers, there is no immediate, credible threat to our subway system. i say that with confidence. people should go about their business as they normally would. >> reporter: law enforcement officials sell cnn there are no indications of any terror plots against u.s. transit systems.
12:13 am
still to come here on cnn, nine terror arrests in the united kingdom, and reports one is a cleric who says isis will be in america and europe within decades. also coming up, u.s. president barack obama has a strong warning for world leaders, why he says ebola is a growing threat to security. back to school shopping for my girls isn't easy. that's just not enough crotch. do these shoes say "mathlete" to you? ha! where do you put the books?! these are still cool, right? number 15 of my 20, desperately trying to keep

12:16 am
nine men have been arrested in the uk. >> british say the arrests are not in response to any immediate threat to public safety. and according to the british media, one of the man is a former leader of a banned radical group. atika scubert joins us with more now. >> reporter: the most important part of this is the british police have made it clear there is no imminent threat. but these nine men have been arrested based on concerns of possible terror offenses. specifically they will be part of a banned group or supporting a banned extremist group. police haven't said exactly what that group is, but one of the men arrested is the man who is very well known, he's been on cnn several times. and this is an extremist
12:17 am
preacher often accused of inciting violence. he's been seen burning the american nflag, leading anti-american protests, and seen in london holding up the isis flag and handing out leaflets in support of isis. so this is a very well known figure. it's not a surprise he's been picked up at all. the question is, what is he going to be charged with? who are the eight other people and what are they going to be charged with? according to anti-terror legislation, they can be held up to seven days without charge, natalie. >> we will wait and see what happens when and if they get out. i have a feeling he won't be silenced. thank you, atika. now we're going to turn back to ebola with the focus of a high u.n. meeting on thursday. >> u.s. president barack obama called it a growing threat to
12:18 am
regional and global security. he says the world community isn't doing enough to respond. he urged leaders to work together to zop the spread of the virus. >> we are not moving fast enough. we are not doing enough. right now everybody has the best of intention, but people are not putting in the kinds of resources that are necessary to put a stop to this epidemic. >> and doctors are trying hard, but they are just struggling to treat the thousands who are already infected with ebola. there are shortages of just about everything. our elizabeth cohen met with one doctor who is experimenting with an hiv drug that appears to be working. take a look. >> reporter: we're taking you inside an ebola isolation unit in rural africa.
12:19 am
a worker carrying our camera. going deeper, still more sick patients. children. >> i have to use every brain cell to save some people's lives. >> this is our central supply room. >> reporter: for this doctor, desperate times call for desperate measures. while the world waits for a proven ebola drug, he's experimenting with an hiv drug. >> in order for everyone in the unit not to die, i think i need to try this medication. >> reporter: this is as close as i can get to this ebola isolation unit. i want to introduce you to four young women. 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 discharged soon. so ladies, tell me how do you feel now?
12:20 am
>> reporter: dr. logan has tried the drug on 15 patients so far, and remarkably, only two have died. across west africa, the outbreak is killing at a rate of 70%. but with this treatment, only 7%. is it possible that an effective treatment may have come from here, from your ebola treatment center in this rural area? >> yes, it's highly possible. >> reporter: we reached out to top scientists in the u.s. does his 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 the drug until you have had a study. you need a study first. what would you say to that? >> 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
12:21 am
some people's lives. >> that was our elizabeth cohen reporting. you know, dr. logan really doing what he can. the latest figures from the world health organization are dire. they show more than 1600 confirmed or suspected deaths from ebola in liberia alone. perhaps his work will cut down on more outbreaks. coming up, more unrest overnight back in ferguson, missouri. >> the latest incident involved the city's police chief after he issued an apology and tried to approach the crowd. we'll let you know what happened next. they can't keep it to themselves. i'm switching for good wow! finish is seriously good can't believe how great it works love love love finish it's a shine that's sweeping across america. finish delivers an unbeatable clean and superior shine versus cascade's leading detergent. look no ugly spots... and see that shine?

12:23 am
12:24 am
in ferguson, missouri, back in the news again after another tense night. police and protesters engaged in an uneasy standoff in front of the police department after authorities arrested several people. this after the police chief tom jackson agreed to walk and talk with demonstrators. something, though, that led to a scuffle. jackson was then escorted away. earlier, the chief issued a public apology for the troubles in ferguson and insisted he will not resign his post. we get more from anna cabrera. >> i want to say this to the brown family -- no one who has
12:25 am
not experienced the loss of a child can understand what you're feeling. i'm truly sorry for the loss of your son. i'm also sorry it took so long to remove michael from the street. >> reporter: it's the apology people in ferguson have been waiting to hear. >> i do want to say to any peaceful protester that felt like i didn't do enough to protect your constitutional right to protest, i'm sorry for that. >> reporter: it's the first time he's said "i'm sorry" since michael brown was shot and killed. you issued an apology video today. >> i did. >> reporter: why did it take so long for that to happen? >> there's been so much going on. every day there's been a different challenge, ever since august 9. but this is something that needed to be said. should have been said a long time ago. >> reporter: emotions in the
12:26 am
community still raw. the protests unrelenting. and the pain over michael brown's death and distrust of police throughout much of the community still remains. what do they need to do or what can they do to start to build that trustsome >> i think what the police need to do is first admit that there is a problem within the police department. >> it's never been the intention of the ferguson police department or of any police department i know of to intentionally target vilds because of race. if there is that happening, it's a crime and needs to be addressed. >> reporter: new diversity training, new body cameras worn by every officer. these are among the plans for the police in the city. but for some, that's not enough. you are still a believer of the ferguson police department, correct? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: have you heard of any plans to remove you?
12:27 am
>> no, i haven't. >> reporter: are you aware of some of the people who would like to see you removed from your position? >> sure, i have. and i talked to a lot of those people and i talked to lot of people who initially called for that and changed their mind after having discussions about moving forward. realistically, i'm going to state more and see this through. this is mine and i'm taking ownership of it. >> reporter: today's apology, he hopes, is a fresh beginning. >> it's clear we have much work to do. >> reporter: how big of a test has this been for you personally and professionally? >> the biggest test of my life. >> reporter: an ongoing test for this community thrown into the national spotlight. and the biggest test to come when we hear whether officer wilson will face charges or not. there are residents who are worried. are you? >> no, i'm not worried.
12:28 am
i think we can manage this and come out much better. >> reporter: anna cabrera, cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> a lot of people liked the apology. the question is why not do it several weeks ago. much more coming up on the fight guest isis, including conversations with iran's president about what role his country will play. stay with us.

i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm errol barnett. here are the top stories we're tracking for you right now. french warplanes joined the u.s. in launching the latest round of
12:32 am
coalition air strikes. on thursday, they hit four isis warehouses suspected of housing military equipment near fallujah west of baghdad. >> just after 8:00 in the morning in london, and the british parliament is expected to vote soon to join the air campaign against isis targets, but only in iraq, not syria. prime minister cameron recalled lawmakers for a special session to debate this issue. they're set to convene in about two hours. >> u.s. officials say there's no credible evidence of any immediate thread to the country's transit system. a u.s. state department says "we don't have anything to back that up." iran's president says western countries are not without blame when it comes to islamic extremism.
12:33 am
he said colonialism played a major role in bringing about extremism. >> and he sat down with christiane amanpour. here's more. >> do you believe you face a common threat and you also have in the alliance in some way or the other? i know the united states informed your government that these strikes were going to take place. >> translator: well, i would like to distance myself from the word "coalition" because some countries haven't come together under the umbrella of this coalition. i'm not quite certain how serious they may be. but what i wish to share with you is that, in reality, all countries, all nations must feel a great deal of responsibility. and therefore exert everything within their powers on the scene
12:34 am
in order to combat terrorism in north africa and other parts of africa and the middle east as really the level of terrorism has skyrocketed. it is relentless and savage and does not have mercy against women, elder, children or anyone. so sit a common threat for all of us, and this requires unison efforts from all of us. >> so you're fine with these strikes inside syria and iraq against the islamic state? >> translator: what we say is that the issue of terrorism is an extremely serious one. the operations that we wish to execute against the terrorist enough a comprehensive planning preceding those actions and operations. you're fully aware that
12:35 am
terrorist groups are always on the move. they're not an organized army that can be damaged through aerial bombardments. we need advanced campaign of operations, two, three, four dozen areas of bombardments is quite insignificant against their installations and compounds. the aerial bombardments have more the form of a psychological operation rather than succeeding in the eradication of terrorism. we must pay particular attention to social activities, cultural activities, financial and economic activities, as well as the educational site in every country so as to address the causes of the problem. so the aerial bombardment campaign is mostly a form of fear rather than a serious battle against terrorism. >> you can see more of the
12:36 am
interview with the iranian president on "amanpour." all right. let's get back to our top story now. the coalition attacks on isis targets in syria and iraq. once again, we'll bring in rick francona live from new york. he's a retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel, providing fantastic insight here. thanks once again for joining us. we just heard there from hasan rahani, who is your read on what iran is looking to get out of this effort? it's a majority shia muslim country that is sworn enemies of isis. it appears that he wants to
12:37 am
distance himself from the west, but do you expect more is being done behind the scenes? >> i think he would like to see the united states and the coalition take a big bite out of isis because isis is a direct threat to them, as well. but when you look 589 what's going on in syria, they are big supporters of the regime of bashar al assad. in fact, they have military forces in syria, as well as their proxy hezbollah. if you go back two years, bashar assad was about ready to fall. it was only through the efforts of iran and hezbollah that he was able to stop the free syrian army from winning that civil war. let's move over to iraq. they stand to gain the most if this works for the iraqis to push isis back out. in the power vacuum that the
12:38 am
united states left in 2011, the iranians were very quick to move in there. so the iranians are on the verge of getting just about everything they want, and it appears that the coalition is helping them to do that. now, if they do this politically smartly, and he's a smart guy, i think he sees that. i don't know why he's been so confrontational here, when if he would just sit back, a lot of this would fall right into his lap. >> that's kind of what i was getting to. the comments he was making to christiane amanpour, he said all of these air strikes are theater, really, they're not doing anything to address the issue, while knowing full well his country could do so much as far as limiting the funding of some of those militias and education. do you think this is more politics and he's just saying what is going to be received very well back at home in tehran, while maybe behind the scenes, there are some thawing of diplomacy for example, the uk
12:39 am
prime minister david cameron shook his hand yesterday. >> i think that is an accurate assessment. not only does cameron -- the relationship with cameron, you can see there are openings for the united states and iran. the nuclear program is the big issue there. but secretary kerry has made some interesting statements about the iranians. although we're not going to coordinate with the iranians, we're certainly going to let them know when we're doing what in syria, because they have a vested interest in what goes on in syria. now, down the road, our interest in syria are going to diverge, because the united states wants to get rid of bashar al assad, they want him to prop him up. so there are openings and then there are problems down the road. so the iranian-u.s. relationship is really going to remain contentious for years to come. >> all right. colonel francona joining us late
12:40 am
tonight. i believe you are now finished and can get to bed. can you confirm that for me? >> i'm going to get about four years before i show up in the studio in new york. >> we appreciate your analysis on that. 3:40 on the u.s. east coast. get some rest. we'll see you tomorrow. >> good night. isis is infamous for every kind of atrocity, but its oppression of women, sexual assaults, forced marriages, that may give this next piece of news added resonance. the uae confirmed that its air strikes were led by its first female pilot. she spoke to our becky anderson a few months ago about what it means for her to defend her country. >> reporter: is it more important today than ever to be involved in defending your country do you think? >> yes, for sure.
12:41 am
we are in a hot area, so that's -- we have to prepare every citizen in this country to be ready to defend the uae. everybody is responsible for defending their country, male or female. when the time will come, nobody will hesitate to defend their country. >> no one will hesitate. she's wanted to be a top gun since she was 10. she joined the air force as soon as women were allowed in. she told us she waited ten years to do that. as soon as it was legal, she signed up and now she's making a difference. >> it's really interesting. just a couple of countries away, women get to do this. >> in saudi arabia, women can't even drive. all right. as coalition forces launch their attacks from the air, we're
12:42 am
getting the view from the ground in an interesting way. in syria, another woman went undercover to show the world what life is like under the control of isis. >> you're going to see this. jim clancy has her story. >> reporter: with a hidden camera recording as she walked, a syrian woman risked arrest or worse to document this scene inside raqqa, syria. the so-called capital of the islamic caliphate. the video was taken 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 incidents where people were forced into public prayer. she went out of her way to interact with militant isis. showing women in conservative dress, one carrying an ak-47. and even her own experience
12:43 am
being stopped. >> reporter: what some might find astonishing is the enthusiasm some women have for life under isis. her visit to an internet center revealed how women interacted with concerned family members in their own 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 for this young woman to come home from syria. >> translator: stop it. it doesn't help me if you're scared or you cry. do you hear me? i'm telling you, there's no point to you crying or being
12:44 am
scared. what you see on tv is wrong. do you understand? they exaggerate everything on tv. they amplify everything, everything, everything. >> reporter: 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 have 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 fighters we were told moved into civilian areas effectively, making the local population human shields in what is expected to be a long fight for survival. jim clancy, cnn. >> want to bring you some information just in to us here at cnn. british police announcing this hour they've arrested two more
12:45 am
men suspected of being members of terrorist organizations. >> of course, this follows the arrest of nine people we've been telling you about on similar charges thursday, including a radical cleric. more than 20 homes and businesses were also searched during this roundup. police say the arrests are part of an ongoing operation, not in response to any immediate public safety rest. they ramped up the terror threat a few weeks ago. perhaps this is part of being more vigilant. >> those nine arrests today, two additional this hour. we'll keep you posted throughout the day. coming up after the break, more stories for you. >> the father of the suspect in the disappearance of a u.s. college student is speaking out. what he is saying about this story just ahead here. it has the right balance of cleaning and care. unlike other detergents, woolite won't cause stretching,
12:46 am
keeping that perfect fit, wash after wash. don't take a chance. trust woolite.
12:47 am
the suspect in the disappearance of u.s. university student hannah graham could face extradition later today. jessie matthew was found on a beach in texas only 1200 miles from where graham disappeared in virginia. >> investigators are focusing on a restaurant in virginia where a witness claims to have seen the two together. we learn more from cnn's jean casarez. >> reporter: authorities are prepares for the extradition to
12:48 am
virginia to face a criminal charge of abduction in connection with hannah graham's disappearance, and the owner of the restaurant, thought to be where they were last seen, stepped forward to tell his story. >> i did not see her, and i am -- that is one of the most -- it's very uncomfortable to go through. >> reporter: law enforcement says at least one person saw hannah in the restaurant. but cunningham does vividly remember jessie matthew, who he says was alone, but came to the restaurant twice that year. >> he was having a good time. he went dancing. i thought he was just a little excited and happy to be there. >> reporter: his employee did see hannah outside the restaurant. nobody that you know of saw her in here, but your people at the door saw her outside? >> yes, walking away.
12:49 am
with him. it would appear that they knew each other. >> reporter: it is the next 40 hours law enforcement says that are crucial to this case. >> there is this block of time, this very big, large, significant block of time between the time that we know hannah graham disappeared and the time that disappearance was reported to us. we need to shrink that gap. >> reporter: and the key to finding hannah may come by those who know jesse matthew. >> if you know jesse matthew, and many people do. he went to school her, he has family here. he went to church here. he worked here. lots of people know him. >> reporter: and the person who may know him best, his father. >> the only thing i can see him maybe trying to give this girl a rhode island home or help her out. >> reporter: as the
12:50 am
investigation continues, the owner of the restaurant is emotional hi invested like the rest of the community in finding hannah graham. >> i'm really feeling for her parents. it's -- i don't know. i have no words. >> authorities say jessie matthew was questioned in connection with a sexual assault in 2002. the alleged victim didn't want to proceed with the case. charges were never filed due to lack of evidence. matthew claimed the encounter was consensual. just ahead, family, football, and team work as one player helps his daughter fight a medical battle.
12:51 am
in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines.

xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. every time someone chooses it sparks a movement. because once they've try finish, they can't keep it to themselves. i'm switching for good wow! finish is seriously good can't believe how great it works love love love finish it's a shine that's sweeping across america. finish delivers an unbeatable clean and
