new air strikes against targets in syria and iraq overnight. this after the united kingdom voted overwhelmingly to join the coalition in iraq. but how long will it take for them to join the fight? a battle between kurdish forces and i.s.i.s. militants are seen at the border. police and protesters clash in hong kong, as the week-long protist against the policies gains momentum. welcome to our viewers around the world. >> british warplanes are know ready for launch, after parliament gave its approval for air strikes in iraq. >> the air campaign is expanding

with the addition of airplanes from denmark. and also, the u.s. sent a new round of air strikes has been launched in syria. details are few at the moment. but we're told that the warplanes have been searching out targets of opportunity. now, to a firefight on the border between syria and turkey. >> i.s.i.s. militants on one side. kurdish fighters on the other side. and our own phil black was there. >> reporter: let me set the scene for you. we're on a hill top north of the syrian border. you see a crowd of people surround me. watching the events that are taking place on the other side of the border. here's why. we're going to zoom in. we're zooming into a ridgeway on the opposite side of the border there. on the top of that ridge, you should be able to make out some figures. they are fighters.

we belief they are i.s.i.s. fighters. what you're watching is live video of i.s.i.s. fighters, in syria, attempting to battle their way through this northern, mostly kurdish region of syria. through the afternoon, they have been engaged in an ongoing firefight, with kurdish forces. just to the east of their position. they've been reporting that i.s.i.s. has been making progress. a few more miles each day. look at that right now. [ cheers and applause ] what you're seeing is tracer fire, moving into that ridge line that's occupied by i.s.i.s. forces. and around me, the kurdish crowd

is around me. now, just as darkness fell leer, we believe those i.s.i.s. fighters, moved away from the ridge line what. what we've been hearing is small arms in the distance. and tracer fire, largely moving and coming from the direction of the kurdish, the syrian fighters that are trying to resist this i.s.i.s. advance. >> it was incredible to watch phil's reporting. it seems that kurdish forces have stopped the advance. what's the latest now? >> i'm not sure if you can hear me. the same position that you saw phil black's report from yesterday. that was the hill tops he was

talking about. we believe that the i.s.i.s. fighters have pulled back to a certain degree to a small village. this hill top is vital. know, smoke rising from the southern front. i.s.i.s., sweeping through this area taking over dozens of villages. leaving the town under siege. and sending around 200,000 mostly syrian kurdish refugees freeing into turkey. people have been calling for air strikes against i.s.i.s.'s positions in the various areas. they say the town is under siege.

it seems that on this front, towards the town, that the kurdish fighting force managed to push the isis fighters back. much more sophisticated weaponry. the kurds have been calling for more air strikes but the get more reinforcements. an turkish kurds, trying to beef up the fighting force, to mac sure the town does not fall to i.s.i.s. there will be an increase and intensification. but i.s.i.s. will control a portion of northwestern syria.

>> live on the turkish/syria border, where there was a tense battle. what is important about all of this, though. it would give the militants a clear run for supply lines. other people made the point, one of the reasons they're hitting that town, is because their momentum has been slowed in iraq, to refocusing their efforts in syria. >> it's amazing that the kurdish fighters were able to hold off the i.s.i.s. militants. >> especially because they have tanks and humvees and heavy weapons. the british royal air force is expected to begin bombing missions over iraq. >> parliament voted to take part in air strikes over i.s.i.s. but only in iraq. david cameron said britain is not ready for military action in

syria. >> an inclusive, democratic government, that recommends all of its people. we've had our strategy in terms of that. backing the syrian opposition. and working with others. i do believe there's a strong case for us to do more in syria. but i did not want to bring a motion to the house today, which there wasn't consensus for. it's better if our country can concede on consensus. david cameron sort of left the door open for air strikes in syria. how was it received? >> reporter: he said, there's a real threat. if british needs to act immediately to prevent humanitarian catastrophe. i can take action and receive

approval later. how come we're bringing this up. there's so many questions. some people have so many concerns, exactly about iraq. even though syria, to be clear to our viewers, wasn't a motion that was on the table. people were so worried, exactly about the involvement in iraq. mission creep, as well, as all of the consequences that being involved in iraq would bring. this further increased the terror in britain. would this further radicalize people. and prime minister cameron said radicalization is already here. there were so many concerns. so many downs despite the bump that mp did vote for action in i.s.i.s. in iraq. listen to one of the exchanges to talked about the idea of mission creep. >> two questions he's put to

himself. how long will this war last? and when will mission creep start? >> let me answer that directly. this is going to be a mission that will take, not just months, but years. >> cameron saying it requires persistence and patience. outlining a generational struggle. >> you know, even if the house voted overwhelmingly in favor, you can feel the reluctance in the room. thank you so much for joining us live early this morning. along with the brits, a handful of other european nations are taking part in the military campaign against i.s.i.s. french fighter jets have flown combat missions targeting i.s.i.s. in iraq. denmark will send seven fighters to take part in air strikes.

>> netherlands are sending jets as well as troops. and belgium is sending six fighter jets to the region as well. we'll go live to him.

welcome back to cnn's special coverage. we'll have more on our top story. the multinational fight against

i.s.i.s. >> joining me now from the northern city of irbil, in northern iraq, is ben wedeman. today, the iraq's president actually spoke at the u.n. he called for greater regional cooperation. how much pressure is he under? >> he, as president of iraq, is under a good deal of pressure. his position is largely symbolic. iraq is under pressure, more than anything else to get its house in order. we've seen so much political infighting going on. in addition to the short comings of the iraqi army, which were vividly on display last weekend, when a base was overrun by i.s.i.s. fighters to the west of baghdad. during the siege of that base, the soldiers were calling for food, for water, for some sort

of help to air strikes some sort of column of military hardware to relieve that siege. according to one of the survivors, he called his commanders in baghdad, asking for help. nobody answered the phone. from so many sources, the iraqi military is riddled with corruption. iraq is under a lot of pressure. the question is, can they organize their political house to meet the challenge that is staring them in the face? >> you just mentioned that the iraqi army, is riddled with incompetent, thieves and corruption. are they up to the challenge of tackling i.s.i.s.? >> reporter: in their current form, many observers, many

source would say no. prince, there still is not a minister of defense in baghdad. he has yet to be appointed. you speak to kurdish military commanders up here in the north. you ask them around the iraqi army, and battle readiness, they shake their heads and tell you there is no real iraqi army. what you have, the main fighting force on the side of baghdad, is shia militia, which have a very dark history when it comes to the treatment of sunni arabs. and their abuses are part of the reason for the arab nation. if you look at sort of the military picture from baghdad's perspective, it's bleak. >> yeah. there's so much pressure on the iraqi army. let's hope they get their act together because the world is rebanking on them. ben wedeman, thank you so much.

spain and morocco say they have disbanded a group. nations around the world, are trying to keep their citizens from traveling to the fight. and there's a network of terror recruiters inside britain. thanks for being with us. how do these recruiters work? how do they identify and radicalize young people. >> what they're looking for -- the two most common ones are the only way they can get a resolution to their solution, if they belong to a group. they belong to a gang. and that is in the community. and the second part of the pathway, is that they build a

global jihadi narrative, once you're part of this group, once you have -- you're going to get your -- god wants you to do it. god will reward you. and it's the only way to get closer. they prey on people with mental health issues and people that have personal losses in terms of the war on terror. some had cousins, relatives and friends that died in drone attacks. it's the logical pathway they teach the youngsters, the only way they're going to get -- what they're going through at that time. >> having a little trouble hearing you. i think the connection is getting better. once the questions are recruited, they're not exactly serving as front line troops in i.s.i.s., are they? they're not exactly trusted.

>> women are used as the religious police. they're used the monitor the morality of other women in the region. they're trying to build a so-called state. they're not exactly trusted, as much as the other people from the middle eastern country. and chechnya and russia. the strategy of -- >> it's been, once you're in, it's hard to get out. >> a couple of weeks ago, there were a couple of guys that wanted to leave i.s.i.s. and come back to the u.k. we're hearing reports that those particular guys and others who have expressed a desire to leave have been locked up, tortured and some have been killed. if anybody is listening -- my

advice, just get out. >> is it possible to deprogram a jihadist? >> absolutely. there's a number of people that are credited to doing this. you need to focus on four, key areas. we need to focus on the intellectual, the social, aspect. >> we have to, you know, put a stake in the grouped and say, some people are beyond deprogramming. and they need to be locked up and society needs to be protected from them. >> thank you.

>> they prey on people with mental health issues. coming up on cnn, a gruesome killing at a workplace in the u.s. could the suspect have been inspired by i.s.i.s.? plus, new information on a fire that grounded thousands of flights in the u.s. on friday. why investigators are looking at a suspect's facebook page. every time someone chooses finish over cascade, 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 superior shine versus cascade's leading detergent. look no ugly spots... and see that shine? you've got to try finish. so take the finish challenge. switch and see the difference. a dayou owe me this causetial for i clean your tushy.pirit. but i'll settle for a toddler yogurt facial any day. all done, mommy. hey, love that yogurt.

police say a man beheaded a co-worker and stabbed another after he was fired from his job. >> the suspect was stopped by the company's ceo, who confronted and shot him twice at the processing plant. he was taken to hospital and is expected to survive along with the foreman who was wounded in the attack. he's being hailed a hero for his actions. >> this off-duty deputy saved tracy's life. this was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. we're looking at him. he's obviously a hero in this situation. it's tragic that someone did lose their life. but it could have gotten worse. >> authorities say he had been trying to convert co-workers to islam. at airports across the united states on friday, a lot of long lines.

a lot of unhappy bases because a fire at a chicago air traffic control center, led to more than 2,000 flight cancellations. the fbi is investigating. they're evacuating. >> 6:00 a.m., planes on the runway at o'hare, get word to stop movement. >> i have no estimate. never a dull moment, huh? >> that's right. >> over the next six hours, traffic at chicago area airports, come to a virtual stop. inside, frustration. thousands of passengers are stranded for hours. >> there's chaos, mixed with outrage. >> reporter: brian howard was working at an air traffic

control center who allegedly, intentionally set fire to the basement communications area. and also, stabbed himself several times. >> he used some type of axe accelera accelerant. >> firefighters pulled the man to safety. he was later listed in stable condition, as fbi-led investigators trying to figure out his motive. >> there's no reason to believe that anyone else was involved at this time. >> reporter: the shutdown was clear, showing a huge open hole above chicago and southern wisconsin. by evening, more than 2,000 flights were canceled or delayed, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. >> we're back in line. we're waiting in probably another hour and a half to get rebooked, if we're lucky. >> one guy caused this all by trying to get his 15 minutes of

fame, makes no sense. >> i certainly feel sorry for anyone who is trying to take off from chicago today. >> pack your patience. it's been two weeks since the murder of a pennsylvania state trooper. the suspect has managed to e wade capture. >> now, they have an idea of what he was doing before the ambush. >> reporter: up to 8,000 officers are involved in the manhunt. after two weeks, they're saying he's confident he is in this area. there's evidence to suggest he had been planning with a confrontation with police for years. police searched a hard drive and found he had been doing research on everything from policemanhunts, to various survival skills. they found some of his belongings out here. they say some structures empty or abandoned have been tampered with. there's been a number of sightings. law enforcement officers say they believe the suspect is

trying to play some kind of game with him. >> i suspect he wants to have the fight with the state police, but that involves him running. he is probably not going to come out and have a face-to-face confrontation. i expect he will be hiding and try to take a shot from some distance he has done in the past. >> he has experimented with building explosives in the past. that's why every officer involved in the search, is being warned to look out for boobie traps. one source said he was tracked to this area after he used a cell phone to call his parents. the phone rang just once, before he hung up, according to that source. another headline here in the united states. a suspect at the center of hannah graham's disappearance is back in virginia. jesse matthew was taken into custody in texas. >> authorities believe matthew was the last person to be seen

with graham. the college student vanished two weeks ago. and large-scale efforts are under way to find her. >> emergency dispatch officers are work around the clock, to field tips to help find missing university sophomore, hannah graham. >> folks think they've seen something, whether it be a description or a car. >> reporter: 2,400 tips have come in so far since the 18-year-old disappeared two weeks ago tonight. >> i will add this to the information you previously called in. if someone needs to call you, they'll get in touch with you. >> reporter: today, the dispatch center had unsuspected visitors. >> hannah's parents stopped by today. they wanted to let our folks know how much they appreciated the effort that they're putting in to help try to find their daughter. >> reporter: why the calls come in, police admit they have no

idea where graham is. >> my understanding is that she was wearing black or dark colored capri-type pants and white shoes. her iphone, an iphone 5s, i believe, had a pink case. if you're inspecting your property and you come across something that fits the description of those items, please do not touch them. >> reporter: with jesse matthew, the suspect in her disappearance, in custody, all eyes are on finding graham. >> you're a realtor. and you know that you are responsible for a sale of a piece of property that's vacant. we want to ask you to go back to that property and inspect it. >> reporter: a local realtor took action. >> all of us have vacant listings. but there's some corners around here that someone could hide something. so, i came up and did a look

around. and we're just trying to find her. >> reporter: the search area is vast. the city of charlottesville is ten-square miles. and the county is 740 square miles, with a lot of farmland. while hannah's friends have chosen to stay silent at this time, one of her dearest friends gave us this statement. hannah is one of the kind ef people i have ever met. when you meet her, she touches your soul. she lives life to the full et, with passion. she dives into it with her whole heart. she will drop anything to help a friend. and now, members of this community, people she's never met, are dropping everything to help her. >> you can feel how much she is really loved. let's hope they find her. >> can't imagine what her parents are going through. the british royal air force is set to join the campaign in iraq. coming up next, the military

firepower the british are bringing to the table. why do we clean? to help keep our homes healthy. but not all cleaners are equal. at lysol, we go beyond cleaning, we call it healthing. healthing is killing germs, and having more cleaning power than bleach without the harshness. it's being the #1 pediatrician recommended brand. and sharing healthy habits in 65,000 schools. lysol. start healthing.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. just past 4:30 in the morning. i'm john vause. >> and i'm zian asher. >> one man was picked up in morocco. and eight more people were arrested in morocco itself. and the u.s. military has confirmed its launched a new round of i.s.i.s. militants in syria. instead of predetermined targets, fighters and bombers

have been on the hunt for so-called targets of opportunity. we'll bring you the details. the british parliament has voted to launch air strikes against i.s.i.s. targets in iraq but not syria. the u.k. will join france, belgium, denmark and the netherlands. >> the royal air force expected to start bombing missions in iraq at any now. >> david cameron explained why the u.k. is going to help. >> the british precision missile, which the united states doesn't have. we have our unique surveillance and intelligence capabilities. our highly professional forces that are used to working with our u.s. counterparts. these are some of the reasons why president obama made clear to me that america wants britain to join the air action in iraq, which has been under way for several weeks. >> what are the special abilities that david cameron is

joining us about. max, exactly what is it that the british are offering here? >> reporter: well, there's not a huge amount of aircraft. just six tornadoes inside, which could, as you say, be in action over iraq, in just a matter of hours. we haven't got the information yet that they have been deployed. there's a sensitive in the u.k. about mission creep and things slipping into syria, where there isn't authority for any action. but they have the brimstone missiles on the tornadoes, the british tornadoes, which are able to take out entire convoys, with one afrlt. and the u.s. don't have that capability. you have a close working relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. military. and on intelligence, as well. it adds something to the mission. but america could be doing this on its own. all of the assets it needs to

carry out air strikes. they want it to be scene as an international effort, john, against a common threat. now that the coalition has extended to europe, it feels more global. >> the size doesn't matter. it's all about the commitment. the americans are bombing everything. the arab countries are hitting targets in syria. the europeans, they're only hitting targets in iraq. how has it worked out like that? will that present problems down the road? >> possibly. the sensitivities in europe are much more about the -- about international law. getting involved in conflicts, have to be approved by parliaments. when they do want to get approval of parliament to get the national consensus. and the fact that the iraqi government has asked for help and air strikes. that allows it to be seen within

international law. the problem with syria, you're not going to get damascus that's not recognized as a government, by companies like the u.k. there's a gray area in terms of international law. so, you have the europeans committing only to iraq at this point. downey street in london, is making soundings, this could be expanded to syria if there's a humanitarian crisis. david cameron will face problems in parliament if he tries to go ahead with that, with approval. it could break national law as parliament sees it. >> parliament also authorized sending a u.k. military advisers to iraq. they'll train the iraqi military. they'll serve as target centers. why is that being seen as boots on the ground? >> that has been debated in parliament to some extent.

the opposition are across that. and across europe, any coalition partners there, will have -- will be under pressure not to put boots on the ground. i think there are questions about these advisers and what they're actually doing. and suspicions there are special forces. there's no evidence of that. i don't think the politicians are going to come under too much pressure. >> good to know. max, thank you. scotland may have decided to remain part of the u.k. but another region in europe continues to make moves on going it alone. the president of spain's region has set a date on independence.

this referendum is going to answer two questions. >> 7.5 million inhabitants there. it's a culmination of a long process. raising hopes among a long section of the population to be able to vote. with scotland voting against just about ten days ago, on their potential inspection. we were on the streets of barcelona. they at least got a chance to vote. that's what we want to do. we want to vote. this year, last year and the year before. hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating in the streets, trying to get to this moment.

it is also a key moment for the spanish government here in madrid. as you say, has vowed this vote will not happen. >> you mentioned scotland. how much of the referendum has been inspired by the scotland movement? >> it's got wind in its sails. but the drive for independence has been picking up steam, especially starting the independence day, september 11th in catalonia. it picked up a huge amount of steam in 2012, with massive demonstrations. since then, almost like a ground-up, with people in the street. the president and other political leaders got onboard. and this has been snowballing. when the scottish vote came up

in the months proceeding and the days up to it, catalonia riveted to it. there's a lot of people saying they shouldn't get a chance to vote. the spanish government says the constitution of this country, different situation. the constitution argues that this vote can't go forward. it has to be all of spain deciding what happens to part of it. >> we'll see what happens. next, police and student activists clash in hong kong. why some are comparing the protest to 1989 tiananmen uprising. speculation about kim jong-un. the leader has not been seen in public for weeks. every time someone chooses finish over cascade, it sparks a movement. because once they've try finish,

welcome back, everyone. at least 13 people are under arrest in hong kong today, after the latest pro-democracy protests. student activists say the region's people are being curtailed on more on what the protests want. >> reporter: they're not old

enough to drive. but they say their political vision is clear. >> we have to fight for the hong kong democracy. and we want to be separate. >> reporter: the high school students are doing their homework and listening to lectures. but they're not in class. this is a schoolboy cot. and the goal to pressure china to giving hong kong full universal suffrage. one person, one vote. many of the young protesters weren't even born back in 1997, when hong kong returned to chinese rule. after the handover, hong kong was given a wide range of civil liberties and a measure of autonomy. but as beijing exerts its authority over hong kong, many protesters believe that way of life is under threat. in august, they ruled that the candidate must be selected by

committee. hong kong students turned out in force to challenge that decision. 13,000 young protesters took part in this rally at chinese university. a sea of students, bearing posters and signs, calling for greater political freedom. it's a sight that's invited comparisons to another student protest. tiananmen square in 1989, attracting the support of dissidents who were there. >> translator: i'm a part of hong kong's fight. i have the same responsibility they have to push for protection of hong kong's freedom, justice and democracy. at the same time, using that push, the protection of hong kong, to guard this spark. in the future, it can ignite the whole of mainland china. >> reporter: in hong kong, others are dismissive of the youth movement. >> it's not that we don't trust them. we need to protect them.

they're still infants. not fully capable of looking after themselves. >> reporter: many of hong kong's young people are unphased. they say they fought and won before. two years ago, this 15-year-old rallied 100,000 people to challenge the government's plan to introduce a campaign. today at 17, he a is a leader after this youth movement. >> translator: i'm prepared to go to court or to jail. it takes a small group of people to change society. if no one is willing to put in an effort, society will not change. >> reporter: risking detention and arrest, in a challenge to china they say is far from child's play.

let's go to north korea. where is kim jong-un? he hasn't been seen for weeks now. >> what the north korea media is saying. >> reporter: he came to power at 28 years old. full of vigor and optimism. now, look at him three years later. the presenter seems to be crying her eyes out as she delivers the news. leader kim jong-un has a health problem. she calls him the marshal, who keeps lighting the path for the people, suffering from what she would describe as discomfort. kim hasn't been seen in public for three weeks. and has missed an important parliament session called the supreme people's assembly. >> that's a big deal. >> reporter: cnn counted how often north korean staid media had him at events in the last months. 24 events in july.

16 in august. 1 in september. observers point to a limp, and say he could have gout. then, there's his weight gain. >> this is the way he looked in 2011 when he came to power. this is the way he looks today. obviously, he gained some weight. there is a history of obesity and diabetes in the family. >> reporter: the kim dynasty's lifestyle is notorious and could be a factor in the young leader's health. a lifestyle that extends back to kim jong-un's grandfather, the founder of north korea. >> he used to sleep on a bed of naked virgins. >> reporter: that account is from a defector. one of the bizarre reports re y relayed over the years. kim jong-il was a smoker, drinker, womanizer. >> he has all of that. cokes and french fries because

he lived abroad. >> reporter: there are no indications kim jong-un is seriously ill. or that he's keeping a low profile because of potential challengers. just being a north korean leader is stressful. >> kim jong-un killed his own uncle and members of his family preemptily because of the fear. you can imagine the enormous stress on his psyche and body. >> reporter: part of that pressure, analysts say everything in north korea, the system of government, the stability, the nuclear arsenal, the military, all of it hangs on the kim dynasty. if he dies, they say, that could be the beginning of the unraveling of this country. >> so much secrecy. it's hard to know what's going on. >> he was sealed. exactly. people arecy i--

a volcano erupted for the first time in seven years. >> local officials worry that dozens of climber were on the mountain at the time of the eruption. we go now. derek, what's going on? >> that's right. recent eruption. 11:53 local time. this is the location of the volcano in central japan. you can see the crater on google earth. this is what erupted a few hours ago. really incredible footage being caught by some of the hikers that are currently stranded on the mountain. take a look at this. you see the ash cloud erupting into the atmosphere. a scary situation to be on the ground to feel the impacts of this. obviously, some tremors being created from this particular volcano, as well. local police and the nagano fire

department has received reports of injuries. and the japan meteorological society. the ash cloud reaches the climbers. listen. this is compelling video. this is fresh off of youtube. with japan raising the alert level, the hikers do not approach the crater. you see the volcanic ash reaching them. incredible footage to say the least. this situation, as you recall, we've been discussing the icelandic volcano recently. this crater was the volcano that was part of the volcano that

erupted. it was a fissure, out of the side of the volcano. that was not as intense. but an eruption from the main chamber from a volcano, that can really send this ash cloud very high into the atmosphere. the difference between that and a fissure eruption off the side of the mountain, means the eruption will be less disruptive in terms of ash cloud going into the atmosphere. amazing video coming out of japan. just our hearts are out to the hikers. >> we go back to the video. there was conflicting reports. as many as 250 hikers here. >> that's right. there are reports of injuries on the mountain, as well the nagano fire department. with that many people still on the mountain, you know, there's going to be a major rescue effort to come in the next hour.

>> what are the plans for evacuations? >> with japan raising the alert level, that means eruptions are likely here. >> they have to get people off before the eruptions go again. just a few hours, i guess. >> they're warning within a four-kilometer radius of the crater of the volcano. >> let's hope those climbers are okay. >> they're heading down that hill pretty quickly. >> absolutely. i have a bit of an announcement to make. hollywood's most eligible bachelor is tying the knot this weekend. we're going to head to italy where the ceremony is set to take place. there he is. why do we clean? to help keep our homes healthy. but not all cleaners are equal. at lysol, we go beyond cleaning, we call it healthing. healthing is killing germs, and having more cleaning power than bleach without the harshness.
