grand parent. both are looking forward to the joys. later today, george clooney and amal alamuddin are expected to say i do. they were whisked away in a speed boat to the luxurious hotel. he made a bet to michelle pfeiffer that he'd never get married again. >> number four, three former teacher has been resentenced for raping one of his high school students. stacy dean rambolt was initially given just a few days is now resentenced. and mystery surrounding actions of kim jong-un, he

hasn't been seen for months now. some a it's according to his weight gain. north korean state tv said the leader has been, quote, suffering from discomfort. whatever that means. >> that's quite a mystery. number five, u.s. fighter jets have been in the skies over syria and iraq, taking aim at isis targets. in syria, they destroyed isis vehicles, a command and tech vehicle. syrian kurds are trying to hold them off but they're running low on ammunition and weapons. in today's weekly address, president obama said america is leading the fight in the world to degrade and destroy isis. u.s. fighter jets have been pounding targets of opportunity overnight but defense secretary chuck hagel warns air strikes alone did not get the job done. >> no one under any illusions,

under any illusions that air strikes alone will destroy isil. they are one element of our broader comprehensive campaign against isil. >> joining us now cnn military analyst lieutenant colonel rick francona, he's a retired air force intelligence officer. also joining us, will geddes in london. >> what were we learned about air strikes, colonel francona? >> well, as the secretary said, you can't rely on air strike do this alone. they were really on a roll coming down the river valleys taking city after city after they had taken mosul. the air has able to stop them in place. now, we're relying on the iraqi ground forces to turn them back. unfortunately, that has not happened. a little bit of frustration among everybody, because the

iraqis have not been able to make any headway against isis. in syria, the air has begun the degradation of isis. but, again, without people on the ground, you can only do so much. >> will, what happens after the bombs fall? the training of the so-called moderates are supposed to lead to boots on the ground. who does the u.s. determine in the first place who is moderate and who is radical? >> well, this is a very good point. and certainly, one of the things going on for some time has been the establishment of networks. these networks are critical not only in determines of determining or painting the targets, but also to determining who actually amongst the ground force, i e., those working within the kurdistan and iraqi regions who are lawyer and how

supportive they have been, and whether there's any interest in those groups that could undermine certainly any ground effort that is possessed later down the line. >> which is a very good question. an iffy proposition, perhaps there. now you colonel francona, the uk has joined the force in the fight against isis. there was a fiery debate, from a member of parliament george galloway. >> this will not be solved. every matter will be made worse. extremism will spread farther and deeper around the world just like happened as a result of the last iraqi war. the people can see it. and the fools in here who draw a big salary and big expenses cannot or will not see it like the honorable lady with her intervention. >> colonel francona, how likely is this to lead to more extremism? >> well, we could see some

recruitment spike up a little bit for isis. we saw it during the gaza thing, people flocking to isis. isis has a campaign, they're very good at it. they've got these slick video and it resonates with people sitting on the tense. but i take a little objection with galloway's conthat he thinks this will lead to further problems. we have to stop isis where they are. then we can worry about it in the future. we just don't have time to let them roll over syria or iraq. >> speaking of recruitment, the coalition has recruited and expanded the uk, belgium, denmark, has now agreed to join more than 50 nations in support of this fight against isis and iraq. what do you think the impact of this will be, will geddes? >> i think, fundamental, it's the mitigation of the risk by

any one country. certainly, the u.s. will take the lead with the national air strikes but now that we've got a far stronger and wider coalition. and the critical part of that coalition is really with the arab states. that is in terms of not allowing or allowing to me potentially finance even through the back door isis in their operations, but also with our own intelligence networks trying to intercept that recruitment process that the colonel was just talk about. and the biggest issue that we have overall is that this is a world and global issue. isis do not select one particular country that they're going after. they've made it quite vocal, they're looking to target anywhere they possibly can. it is a universal and global issue to be addressed here. it can't be seen by one particular country. maybe the uk coming to the table a little later than others with the inevitability of the attacks coming to our shores by isis is unfortunately something we have to prepare ourselves for.

to give up her child for adoption because she couldn't stand to hear her crying from hunger. i just thought that no mother should everen faced with that choice. i started to collect excess baby gear. and that was when moms helping moms was born. >> boys clothes to the right. girls clothes to the right. the we have home shopping day because they're essentially shopping but shopping without paying for it. >> this is really cool. >> every child deserves a fair start. and if what we're doing helps bridge the gap between people from different backgrounds even in a small way, it's definitely worth the hard work. >> on thursday, andyson cooper will announce this year's top heroes and voting begins to

choose the cnn hero of the year. that's nurse morning on "new day" and cnn.com. some flights have resumed in chicago, that's after police say an employee in a nearby air traffic control started a fire there and he tried to commit suicide in the basement. >> what a nightmare, the facility had to be shut down and 1500 flight cancellations as well. >> jennifer gray joining us. how are things looking anyway? >> things are going to try to get back to normal but you have to wonder with flights being cancelled yesterday today is a catch-up, ripple effect. you can see planes starting to leave chicago still very early in the morning there, not even 6:00 in the morning, so you're not going to see a lot of activity but things are going to start to pick up. keep in mind, be patient because you're seeing delays and cancellations there because of what happened yesterday. i want to touch on weather a little bit. we are going to see a slight risk of severe storms for today. this is for portions of arizona.

all the way to southern portions of utah. do be on the lookout for possibility of damaging winds and large hail. 24-hour rainfall totals. 4 to 12 inches. we have seen so much rain in the area. flash flooding is a huge concern when you get additional rainfall. however, we did receive much needed rain in portions of california. we saw anywhere from 4 to 6 inches of rain yesterday in napa. if i could quickly go to that video, we had hail in napa looked a little like snow, but yet hail in napa. that rain was so, so needed. >> napa, between the earthquake in september. >> too much. >> jennifer, thank you so much. we have a lot of news to tell you about this morning. a lot going on. we're so grateful that you're with us. >> the next hour of your "new day" starts right now.

edging toward the 7:00 hour here in the northeast, i guess, we're in the southeast. good morning, everybody. i'm christi paul. and i'm clearly still trying to wake up on a saturday morning. >> me, too. it's all good. i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. i'm glad to be here, too. it's wonderful to be in the southeast. >> yeah, we love it. all right. listen, we began with this story, it's hard to absorb this one. a beheading on american soil that is sparking new fears of an isis copycat attack. the fbi's investigating whether this man, there he is, alton nolen, may be linked to radical extremism, after he beheaded a co-worker. this was near oklahoma city. >> nolen was fired just before this deadly rampage got started. witnesses say he had been trying to convert please to islam. >> now, on oklahoma highway trooper is speaking out about

her run-in with nolen four years ago. >> in a split second, he exploded out of the car, hit me in the chest and pushed me back. i lifted my hand up thinking my finger was gone it hurt so bad. my fingers had gotten tied up in the chains. i wish i would have kid him, you know. i never -- i was never afraid of him, or i would have. >> wow, this morning, nolen is in the hospital in stable condition. police plan to question him once he comes out of sedation. cnn's martin savidge has more. >> sounds like he's running around out here. >> okay. and that's a gunshot. >> reporter: horror in oklahoma. police say a knife wielding man stormed vaughan foods in moore killing the first person he saw. 54-year-old cullen hufford, first stabbing her and then cutting off her head. >> he encountered the first

victim and began assaulting her with a knife, he did kill colleen and did serve her head. >> reporter: according to police, the suspect began attacking a second woman when he was stopped and shot by an armed executive of the economy, mark vaughan, the company's founder is also a reserve sheriff's deputy. officials credit his intervention with preventing worse. >> it definitely could have gotten worse. he didn't stop until he was shot. >> reporter: 30-year-old alton nolen seen here in a mug shot from a previous arrest had just been fired by the company that day. but a police investigation turned up red flags, causing some to wonder if there may be more to the attack. authorities believe nolen converted to islam. and tried to convince others at work to join him. >> after conducting interviews with co-workers of nolen, information was obtained that he recently started trying to convert some of his co-workers

to the muslim religion. >> reporter: these bring calls by the islamic state out to destroy the terrorist organization have law enforcement agencies across the country on alert looking for so-called lone wolf threats. the fbi is now investigating the oklahoma aspect's social media foot prints, trying to determine if this vicious, deadly rage was inspired by islamic extremism. meanwhile, in moore, residents would rather focus on mark vaughan, the company exec who put his life on the line for his employees. he's been given a promotion from coo to h-e-r-o -- hero, martin savid savidge, cnn. >> no doubt about it. martin savidge, thank you so much. now, it's still not clear if nolen's religion had anything to do with the attacks but as cnn analyst philip mudd points out.

>> my guess is we have an emotional deranged person fired from his job. he's something something on tv about this is the way to act with his firing. if i'm the fbi, i'm on the edge of my chair, we started less than a week ago in iraq and we have a beheading in the united states. >> let's talk about this with cnn analyst and former fbi director tom fuentes. thank you. when you see what we've had thus far, do you believe it's an isis copycat attack? >> i think it's too early to tell at this point. i agree with phil mudd. we don't know, do we have a jihadist, or a garden variety psychopath who has these tendencies and then saw the videos that we've seen from isis and heard about the attempt bead headings like in australia,

their case and the recent beheading in algeria, so we don't know but it's very, very possible. especially when we hear reports from witnesses and employees at the company that he was trying to convert other employees to islam. the fbi is going to have to, in addition to his social media pages, check e-mail, interview all other colleagues, friends, neighbors, people who have known him over the years to see if this is the possibility that he converted and suddenly decided that he was going to do this for the as you of isis. >> yeah, we know that he is in the hospital in sedation, in stable condition. but once he awakens, they'll be questioning him. what leeway do they have, tom, to question him when he's in the hospital, in some sort of condition. >> well, the problem, in the hospital like that, they're not going to be able to question him. and anything he says, he can claim later. he can reaccountant latcant lat was under medication, didn't

know what he was talking about. he has to make a knowing waiver if they want to continue to interview him. they will be able to try to interrogate him under the emergency provisions which allow the fbi to try to find out if there's anybody else involved in this, is he alone. so they'll have a little leeway with that, but not a lot. they'll not a lot about him before he even opens his mouth. he'll be able to talk to anybody who nose him. any social media, any e-mail, phone calls, contacting, they'll have a lot of knowledge about him. >> we know that law enforcement is not just because the attack or threats made by isis, what kind of warning signs could authorities look like in times like this when it comes to possible alone wolf attacks? >> were the problem is authorities can't read people's minds but the people closest to these people might be able to see an indication that something

might be coming. the person increasingly makes statements if they're watching television together and they see an isis video and the person says that's great, i support them. or starts to give indication to other people, and those people then contact the police, contact the fbi and say i think this is person is contemplating maybe joining isis. or joining the cause here. and this is the biggest fear that the authorities have always had in these cases. is that it's not just the foreign fighters or the u.s. fighter whose that have gone over or have gone back or will come back, it's people who are already here see, something on tv and want to do pit it. again we don't know if he's a regular, if i can say that, psychopath or specifically for the cause of isis. >> sure or revenge for the

firing. tom fuentes, we thank you. the faa has charged a fire with a ripple effect across the country. police searched howard's home yesterday, they said he sent a facebook message to a relative warning what he was going do. >> when firefighters arrived they found him lying on the floor, slicing his throat with a knife. he is now charged with felony destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities and the fire disruptsed as joe was referring to here, more than 2,000 flights at this point, some travelers say they may be stranded until monday. so if you are watching from us the airport today we wish the best for you. >> and we're going to talk a little bit more about that right now. mark murphy joins me on what's become a travel nightmare for thousands of people, mark's the travel expert the author of

"travel unscripted." mark, chaos, frustration, even tears by these standed passengers. could it really stake until monday for the airlines to get everything back to normal? >> you betcha, you know why? you have that ripple effect. that plane was going to london to pick people up, take them to new york, go from new york to l.a., that's the ripple effect. this happens ever time we have weather issue or airport delays or cancellations, it creates a ripple effect. it could affect you traveling from london, just in that example. so it has a big, big impact. >> let's take a look at an imavenue of flight aware, showing aircraft flying over the chicago area just yesterday. how is it just one guy, one guy, can put an faa tower into such chaos. >> it's called being a nutjob. and unfortunately, he's a contractor. he had access to the facility.

and if people want to do evil, they can certainly do that. the good news is, they caught the fire right away. it did damage this forward radar control, therefore, they had to shut everything down. because they got to be able to bring those planes in safely. those things can happen, why this guy was working there, why they didn't catch that, there were some issues potentially in his paflt, we just don't know at this point. that's conjecture at this point. they may find something as they investigate this guy. >> it's really too late to help the traefrls who have already had their flights delayed. nonetheless, you can give us some sense of what they can do to avoid this happening? >> first, i'd say, book with a travel agent, if you booked with a travel agent as this went down, you would have probably been rerouted. if you were in chicago, maybe you could have driven up to milwaukee and gotten out of a different airline out of milwaukee. maybe you could have driven farther to go where you needed to go.

for example, there's an example of somebody who missed a cruise, that's another tip, make sure if you got a cruise departure for the your family, go a couple days out enjoy a free cruise stay and get where you need to go. mark mur mark murphy, thank you. two days to the day after she vanished we have news in the disappearance of university of virginia hannah graham this morning. and an nfl quarterback narrowly escapes this twisted wreckage that used to be a pedestrian bridge. we'll tell you who. fiber one. new fiber one streusel.

not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection.

opportunity which is vehicles and tanks. today's weekly address, president obama is touting u.s. leadership after the british parliament voted to join u.s. efforts in iraq. >> a suspect in the disappearance of a university of virginia student is now back in that state. jesse matthew was taken into custody wednesday in texas. matthew is the last person seen on surveillance video with 18-year-old hannah graham, before she vanished two weeks ago. in business news, ford says it's recalling 850,000 cars because of a short circuit that could prevent air bags from deploying. the automakers said it's not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the problems but it affects include 2013, 2014, c-maxes, fusions, escapes and lincolns. >> this is a scene after a pedestrian collapsed after a nba

executive office to general petraeus in iraq. can they take on forces successfully in iraq and do you think syrian rebel forces can do it across the border? >> well, it's much more likely that kurdish and iraqi forces will be successful in ejectingizeis from iraq. it's going to take a long time. we saw iraqi forces got overrun in a base near fallujah, the good news, at least they fought this time, they didn't just give up like they did in mosul in june. it's going to take time to train them, get better leadership in there. we're talking months and years, not just days or weeks. so this is going to be a long campaign. on the syrian side of the border, it's much more problematic. there just isn't a lot of good options there for the united states. we're training the free syrian army to the tune of about 5,000 fighters a year. that's not a lot. and we're going to have to bide

their time and do what they did-k. but the ground troops in syria that are going to defeat isis remain problematic at best. >> not a lot of people and a lot of work to do. colonel monsour, listen to what iran's president told cnn. >> translator: the aerial bot m bombardments have a psychological defeat, rather than succeeding. we must pay attention to social activity, cultural, financial and economic activities, as well as the educational side in every country, so as to address the root cause us of the problem. again, the area of bombardment campaign is mostly, i would say a form of theater, rather than a serious battle against terrorism. >> form of theater. christopher harmer, do you agree

with that? >> well it pains me greatly to agree with anything the iranian president has to say but fundamentally, he's correct. i would say that the air strikes so far are speck particultac sp spectacular. and as long as those two groups are squeezing the moderate rebels between them. there's no path to success. as the colonel pointed out, out throughsput is only about 5,000 moderate syrian rebels per year. we've got to increase that dramatically, we've got to give them better weapons, better training, better about stos american intelligence. there's just no way this is going to have an end, unless we got someone there on the ground to take the fight to isis. as he said, i believe the peshmerga in the north and the iraqi themselves, those are decent high-quality organizations circumstance issally. with aaron air power and push, i

think they can push isis back. but in syria, it's a whole other ball game and right now it doesn't look good for zblups colonel, what about the possibility that isis is adapt to get air strikes? that the fighters are actually starting to blend into the population but they're learning and figuring out how to handle this? >> well, there's no doubt, war say series of actions, reactions and counteractions. and now isis has taken the first set of air strikes against it, it is certainly dispersing its forces and blending itself with the population, trying to make itself less vulnerable. it's easier to do with the fighters than the victim. so i think what we'll see over the upcoming weeks and months, isis will become less well armed because it's equipment will be destroyed. but it will still be around, to eradicate it, you have to get boots on the ground to go in there and root it out of these cities and that's going to take

quite some time. now a british member of parliament has actually called isis an imaginary army. what's the response to both of you starting with chris harmer. >> well this imaginary army is 5-0 against all the other armies. this imaginary army has dweeded the syrian army, the peshmerga, the iraqi security forces in hezbollah. every time isis goes head to head against another military they win. those are real. isis hasn't completely won its battle or wart but it's won a lot of individual battling. so this army of isis is categorically, clearly, at the tactical level better prepared than the peshmerga or the iraqi syrian forces or hezbollah. so they are the best fighting forces in the region right now. >> colonel, what do you think about this imaginary army? >> this match imaginary army has succeeded in taking over about a

third of iraq and syria. so those are really effective ghost soldiers, if will you. >> all right. so one last question here very quickly. an al qaeda affiliate in syria may have have been working with the yemeni-based al qaeda group. there's also been this beheading of french mountain climber in algeria by an isis-linked group. so are we seeing now a sign that global terrorists are uniting? chris, i should start with you. >> certainly, yeah, we have seen some global movement towards the isis brand, if will you. unfortunately, i realty problem at least in syria is a lot of the moderate rebel groups are frustrated that united states is attacking isis. so the frustration, syrian rebels' frustration is why are we allowing assad a free pass? >> do you agree with that,

colonel? >> well assad is actually the least of our worries right now. of the fact is this administration wanted to sign al qaeda's death warrant after the killing of osama bin laden. but what we've seen is al qaeda core is still relatively intact. it's been a credit significantly in pakistan but it's worked elsewhere. the kobani group is part of al qaeda core. and, you know, we struck it in syria, but it was there to take advantage of the safe haven created by the civil war. so al qaeda is alive and well. and, you know, we're going to have to hit it wherever it is. >> carl mansour, chris so ftoph harmer, thanks to both of you. now the first jury deadlock. now another jury is hearing a case of a man accused of murdering a teen over loud

you have to wonder what this transition is like, hillary and bill clinton are now grandparents. >> unbelievable. their daughter chelsea tweeted out the good news to her followers. cnn's executive editor politics mark preston is following that story for us. mark, how are you doing? >> good morning, joe. >> clintons have been very excited about their grandchild, tell us what they've been saying. >> well, joe, you know, they

certainly have been talking about it publicly, in many way pressuring their daughter. she's been very explicit in that. every child can say that about heir parents. there's always that pressure about having a grandchild. chelsea clinton had a child on friday. she sent this news out just after midnight. let's take a quick look what the she had to say. she put this out by social media. mark and i are full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter charlotte clinton mezvinsky. her husband is the son of congresswoman and a congressman who had served from iowa as well as pennsylvania. but we don't know any more details other than that about the baby. there's been a lot of speculation about how this might play politically for hillary clinton, if she were to run for president. and i think that it's pretty clear hillary clinton is going to run or president anyway. and the berth of this baby is just a very private family

matter. >> well, i'm sure that they'll make it some what public. everyone wants to see the baby, and they want to know it is curious to wonder how it might affect her running if people see her differently as a grandmother. who knows. we so appreciate you being here. thank you. >> thanks. there's been an agonizing two weeks for the friends and family of missing uva student hannah graham. could they soon learn more answers now that the prime suspect is back in virginia? greenline do for you? r fy just take a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managing your investments on your own. helping you find new ways to plan for retirement. and save on taxes where you can. so you can invest in the life that you want today. tap into the full power of your fidelity greenline. call or come in today for a free one-on-one review.

testified saying michael dunn shot and killed 17-year-old jordan davis over an argument of loud music that was blaring the a florida gas station. dunn said he shot davis because he thought he had a gun. a jury find him guilty of second degree attempted murder but they deadlocked on the murder charges itself. number three, a former teacher has been resentenced for raping one of his high school students, stacey dean rambold who at first was given 31 days for his crime is now going to serve ten years for raping a freshman in his business class. the 14-year-old victim committed suicide before the case went to trial. the fbi is trying to determine whether a man with tice islam carried out an isis copycat attack by beheading his ex-co-worker. this was a gruesome ramp amp, took place as you see the suspect here, alton nolen was terminated from his job.

nolen tried to convert some of these colleagues to islam. number five, u.s. jets strike isis targets. in syria they've actually destroyed isis vehicles, a checkpoint and other so-called targets of opportunity. meanwhile, the isis militants are advance, on a syrian city known as kobani. syrian kurds trying to hold them off but they're running low on weapons and ammunition. this is plain frustrating and frightening. more than 2400 tips and still no sign of accomplished university of virginia student hannah graham. she disappeared two weeks ago after leaving dinner with friends. the prime suspect 32-year-old jesse matthew, he is waking up in a virginia jail after being processed overnight. police say they believe matthew was the last person with graham before she vanished. let's bring in cnn's jean casarez on the ground there in charlottesville, virginia. jean, so good to see you.

do we have any indication that he is talking to police at all? >> reporter: well, they questioned him which they can do because this is a missing persons case. and i know they questioned him in galveston when they went on to the scene and arrested him. i'm sure there are many more questions based on where is hannah? do you know anything. we don't know if he answered that. but what we do know, he spent the night at the regional jail. the jail tells me he's in segregation, alone. and he was offered two free phone calls booked in, which he passed on. didn't want to call anyone. he's sleeping on a mattress on the floor. there are no facilities in his jail, so if he has to use the restroom they take him out and he's probably getting breakfast right about now. and the focus of this community, it's on hannah. this is going to be a big weekend, because the regional emergency management center, the center that gets all the dispatch calls and the tip line, they're even bringing in more

operators from fairfax county virginia, this weekend, all to get the tips that people are calling in. those tips then go to the police. they scan them. and if they believe they are credible, then they take search and rescue and officers and investigators tout see what they can find. you know, the police chief in this community is not already asking people to call the tip line. he's asking realtors to be on the look outand landowners. realtors are saying they're in. they want to find hannah, too. listen to this. >> all of us have vacant listings, i don't have any prime properties, but there are still properties that someone could hide something. i came and looked around. we're just trying to find her. >> reporter: now, police confirmed they have no idea where hannah is. they have not found her cell phone. they have not found her clothes. they have not found her. remember, this is an abduction charge. kidnapping is what he's being

held on there. there is a possibility that she is alive. kidnapping has nothing to do with murder at this point. we do believe they are still waiting on the forensics. they have told us, they have not let us know what those forensics tell us, tell them from the car and the apartment that they searched. at this point, his initial appearance in court won't be until thursday. why? because the courts are closed, monday, tuesday, and wednesday because of an important conference they have in charlottesville. >> jean, thank you for the updates. also straight ahead, what a bizarre incident at chicago's o'hare airport. it triggered cancellation of more than 2,000 flights. >> we're checking in to see when things are going to get back to normal out there. i heard you gp me with frog protection? sure, we help with fraud protection. if there are unauthorized purchases on your discover card, you're never held responsible. you are saying "frog protection"? fraud. fro-g. frau-d. i think we're on the same page. at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. fraud protection. get it at discover.com

isis. listen. >> the people of the world look to us to lead, and wed welcome that responsibility. we're heirs to a proud legacy of freedom. as we show the world this week, we are prepared to do what is necessary to secure that legacy for generations to come. >> reporter: now, of course, we're just a little over a month away from the midterm elections. so, of course, he has to show strength for his party, christi and joe. >> we no britain, belgium, denmark, they're joining this coalition against isis. and they're going to send warplanes but they're limiting them thus far to iraq. is there any indication the white house is anticipating they will join the fight in syria, or that the white house is disappointed by the fact that they haven't yet? >> reporter: well, christi, at this point, there are five arab nations that are helping the united states with respect to syria. pand in general, the u.s. is saying that they're happy with any help that they're getting. it is a growing coalition as you mentioned. there are many countries joining every day. and right now, there are over 50

countries in this coalition, and right now, they're happy with that. >> erin, how carefully have they gamed out this notion that there are going to get boots on the ground, especially over in syria? the administration certainly aglees air strikes aren't going to do the job. but how realistic is it to expect these other people to come into play? >> reporter: well, joe, at this point, president obama has doubled-down on what he's saying, that there will be no american troops on the ground. of course, they are there in security and advisory roles. but no american troops on the ground in syria. what they're saying is that they are relying on local troops. that's troops from the region. still no american troops. however, we did hear this week that general martin dempsey said if he has to change that and make a recommendation, he'll do that. >> great. >> erin mcspicpike, we thank yo much. we know how the world has come together to battle isis in

traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the fewest cancellations and the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there, too. it's no wonder more people choose delta than any other airline. and it's working its magic once again. the first place. here it means more than lines or pictures on a page. it's a way of life. it's music and color. the more we give in to the magic of this place,

the more we'd like to stay. oaxaca. live it to believe it. all right. let's talk about the terror threat on american soil right now. we learned this week, isis was not the onlile target of air strikes. the u.s. enacted the khorasan group. that's an al qaeda group that officials say was actively plotting attacks in the united

states as well as elsewhere. as to whether that strike wiped out that threat, here's what pentagon spokesman john kirby had to say. >> we can't say with great confidence today as you and i are talking that we know definitively that we've completely disrupted that plot, but again, we're working through the analysis as best we can. >> joining us now cnn national security analyst juliette klein. thank you for being here. while the military is looking to quell the threats in iraq and syria. i'm wondering how strong handle do we have the people here in the u.s. that may want to do harm? >> well, we've obviously increased surveillance in the united states. that includes both at the borders when people are coming or-n or they're leaving. and then of course across mostly urban areas. that doesn't involve necessarily spying. it involves law enforcement and

community members to figure out what's going on in the communities. we have a population of over 350 million people. there are always going to be individuals who identify with causes but still can cause you know, violence as we've seen, for example, in oklahoma. >> right. so how do we identify people who are you know, really radicalized, and people who might be sympathizers? >> so, there's a couple of means, obviously some includes surveillance, social media, border and travel. but a lot of it, the lessons we learned from europe as well as in the united states over time, also involves community engagement. it involves working with communities of interest, religious institutions, to give them the tools to identify people who may have become radicalized and also to limit radicalization. we have a problem here, it is not an ep dem i it's not like

who what we've seen in european countries, for the most part we've seen communities work together to ensure that there isn't radicalization and we need to keep up that effort. >> how do you think they might attack us if they are here in the u.s.? we're used to, say, suicide bombers when it comes to al qaeda. does isis, do they do something differently that we need to be aware of? >> i think the fear with isis and even khorasan they have both, actually more particularly khorasan they have the intent and the means, that's why we started the military action. it could -- successful terrorist attack could take many forms. it does not have to look like 9/11. al qaeda likes the spectacular gesture so to speak, something that is visual, we can see and that causes a lot of harm. it may not be 3,000 people but as we've seen a focus on airlines and airports, is of particular sort of significance for them.

and that is why the military action is important because as i often say, a delayed terrorist attack is a success. if you can delay, disperse, it takes them longer to unify and plan, and then you just sometimes it's keep pushing it until you can actually end the threat. >> so let me ask you this. how threatening are fighters or sympathizers, individually here in the u.s., say, as opposed to fighting in groups? >> so the lone wolf, you know, attacker as we like to call them, will not be able to plan a spectacular attack as we saw on september 11th. but the psychological impact would be significant so you can imagine and the scenarios are limitless, you know, attack in a shopping mall or elsewhere, and so you know, while we want to focus on the big attacks we also have to brace ourselves that there is always a potential for

radicalized people to do something that will have violent impact in the united states. that's why we do surveillance, we do intelligence, that's also why we prepare emergency managers to respond in a way that protect as many as possible. >> very good. we appreciate your insight today. thank you. >> good morning. >> chicago-o'hare's website says 1500 flights are still canceled after a bizarre incident. we'll tell you what happened and when you can expect things to get back to normal. ♪ i remember when i wouldn't give a little cut a second thought. when i didn't worry about the hepatitis c in my blood. when i didn't think twice about where i left my razor.

get to other cities so folks there have been missing connections, so this is trickled down and still going on. this is the misery map rightfully so. we're watching this all morning long. started out with about three cancellations early this morning, now we're up to 43 already. that is going to continue to grow throughout the day. also causing delays in d.c., new york, detroit, even here in atlanta. even miami into south florida, so this is going to continue throughout the day. guys, this is our flight aware map. you see the planes coming and going into chicago, out of chicago, and we're starting to see a little bit of activity. just because of all of the backlog yesterday, it is going to be trouble today, even possibly tomorrow. flights were grounded for a very long time. so you can imagine it's going to take a while to get this caught up. >> good heavens. all right. thanks, jennifer. >> we have so much more news that we need to talk to you about. >> the next hour of your "new day" starts right now.

a horrific crime right in the heartland. an oklahoma man accused of beheading his exco-worker, now the fbi wants to know who is he and why was he allegedly trying to convert people to islam? >> the skies as we said are busy this morning, a lot of passengers, i know you're still stranded at airports, this is from coast to coast after yesterday's traffic nightmare starting in chicago. we are getting new information about the man behind it all for you this morning. >> and, there is a new clinton in the world this morning. bill and hillary officially grandma and grandpa. >> gear up, there is so much to discuss and we're glad to do it with you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. 8:00 on the east coast. >> we want to start with this

beheading on american soil. you can imagine that has really instilled fear of an isis copy cat attack. the fbi is investigating whether this man, it's alton nolen, and whether he may be linked to radical extremism after he beheaded a co-worker near oklahoma city. >> nolen was fired right before the rampage. witnesses say he had been trying to convert colleagues to islam. >> an oklahoma trooper, though, is speaking out about her run-in with nolen four years ago. >> in a split second he exploded out of the car, hit me in the chest and push immediate back. i lifted my hand up thinking my finger was gone it hurt so bad. my fingers had gotten tied up in the chain. i wish i had killed him, you know. i never -- i was never afraid of him or i would have. >> cnn reporter nick valencia is here and that is really pretty

remarkable statement coming from a trooper. >> you never hear a law enforcement official say that. the full story of what happened in this incident is yet to be told. we know the suspect was shot, he was sedated a while. police have yet to interview him. it happened shortly after the suspect was fired from his job and that had everything to do with how he was interacting with co-workers. listen to the lead detective on this case. >> he had just tried to convert fellow employees into islam and then it gets into more detailed things that obviously are under investigation and are part of the reason why the fbi is involved. >> the suspect is in stable condition, we expect that interview to happen later. we know that the fbi is looking into the social media footprint of the suspect, now some think that this had ties to islamic extremism. i spoke to the interfaith community this morning in oklahoma, a strong presence

there because of the moore, oklahoma tornado and other disasters that the community has dealt with. they are more reluctant to embrace this muslim ang that will this had anything to do with extremism. the way they categorized this, this was workplace violence and how they are trying to heal. >> i think the beheading is what has people -- because of everything in the news lately. look. we do want to point out a pretty heroic guy in this as well. >> mark vaughan, the ceo and martin savidge did a report on him and that's what the community there wants to talk about. this hero. he is also a reserve deputy for the oklahoma sheriff's department and he was armed at the time of this attack, and he's the guy that really saved so many other lives, people i have spoken to there are convinced that the suspect would have continued with this rampage had he not been stopped. a grisly attack and that community has gone through so much. more questions that we need to answer going forward.

we'll wait to see what the police come up with after the suspect is in more stable condition and able to talk. >> right. >> really shocking after hearing so much about beheading, internationally, surface here in any form in the united states. >> talking about it here. nick, thank you so much. appreciate it. now to syria where an intense battle has been under way for a strategic syrian city within ear shot of the turkish border. >> here's what we know this hour. residents of the embattled syrian city kobani say militants are less than a mile and a half away. kurdish fighters are running low on ammunition and weapons. >> this as there have been new air strikes overnight in syria and iraq. u.s. fighter jets have been

searching out and striking so called targets of opportunity. >> warplanes we know will soon be coming from britain, belgium and denmark to help in iraq. arwa damon joining us now. she's near the turkish/syrian board wrer the battle has been going on. we saw those just remarkable pictures yesterday. arwa, what is the situation like there right now? >> reporter: well, the kurdish fighting force has managed to push the isis fighters further back away from kobani. and right now the battle is concentrated within the hill behind us, but also these three villages right below inside syria, those are controlled by isis. earlier you could see some isis, presumably vehicles going back and forth, individuals on motorcycles on the hilltops, it's so far we can't make it out. but isis fighters on one

hilltop, kurdish fighters on the other. this is one of the key front lines around the town of kobani that is basically been under siege for over a week now. isis moving into these areas, last friday, taking over dozens of small villages like the ones behind us right now. and encircling kobani. since then people from kobani in fact, kurds, whether they are syrian or turkish, begging the international community, the coalition to do something to break this siege. even though you can hear sporadic gun fire still, even though so far the kurdish fighting force has managed to keep them outside of the town of kobani itself, they don't know how long they will be able to hold on to this very vital area. if in fact isis is able to capture this area, that means that the terrorist organization would have despite the u.s. air strikes gained control over a significant portion of northwestern syria. and while this is going on on

the turkish side we have been hearing numerous reports about turkish kurds going across trying to beef up the syrian fighting force across the border. a lot of people gathering around watching what is the taking place, cheering when the kurds are able to push forward. >> arwa, joe johns here. i know i have been seeing on twitter many messages, people calling for air strikes to come in and help those people on the border. are the kurdish fighters running out of ammunition? are they outgunned, basically? >> reporter: they are not necessarily running out of ammunition at this stage but one has to put it in these terms. what they are fighting with, small arms fire, they have a machine gun on the back of a vehicle, they have some artillery, mortars, but the isis fighters have we're told is thing likes tanks, american-made tanks that they got their hands on when they took over swaths of northern iraq so they are

outgunned when it comes to the military equipment they have. there have been numerous cries, people we've been seeking failing to understand how it is that the coalition that says that it's here to try to save the syrian population from isis, is flying and yet failing to strike at these various isis targets and break the siege of kobani. that being said since the early hours this morning we have been hearing aircraft overhead. but pretty high up and it did seem to be aircraft running more surveillance missions than anything else. there have been various reports perhaps of targets being hit around this area but nothing we can confirm at this stage. as we can tell from the battlefield layout behind us, this is vast terrain. people say that should those jets strike here, the risk of civilian casualties is fairly low. that's why they feel confident in asking for this kind of support because they say the vast majority of civilians cleared out of these villages when isis first advanced. that happening last friday

causing an exodus of around 200,000, mostly syrian kurds, we're talking about here is not just a refugee crisis intensifying, it's the lives of those in kobani currently under siege. >> arwa, be careful. thanks, arwa damon from the syrian border with turkey. >> lieutenant colonel rick francona with us. i know you were just listening to her report here. how important is it for air strikes to help secure kobani? >> air strikes would be very important. the problem is getting the air strikes in there effectively. what we have is a situation on the ground where air could be effective but air can only be effective if it's guided. and there's no one there to control these air strikes. we could go in and put a lot of bombs where we think the isis fighters are, the problem is they are mixed in with the civilian population as she pointed out, they are in these

villages. if you try and put bombs on there without someone on the ground designating targets we're going to kill a lot of people and probably won't achieve the objective. i know it sounds easy but it's very difficult. >> she sounds so desperate. the 200,000 that crossed into turkey. will that influence, you think t refugee crisis now, will that influence turkey to get involved in some way here? because they haven't yet. >> yeah. well, one would hope so. turkey would be an invaluable addition. turkey has a serious military and capabilities that can be brought to bear right there on the border where it's needed. and turkish air force is effective and the air bases would be great if the coalition could use them so. turkey could be a real valuable asset here. as of yet they have declined. they have got a huge crisis on their hands with these refugees flooding across the border. but i don't know if that's going to tip the balance. the turks will become involved

when the turks believe that isis threatens them. and i think isis realizes that going across into turkey triggers a reaction that they really don't want. so i think we're going to see the status quo on the border between isis and the turks right now. >> how vulnerable and pivotal is it if isis takes that city? >> kobani is a primarily kurdish city, some syrians there. this area is a border area, one of the primary border crossings and it's how a lot of these people get to and from isis, wants to control that border. they are trying to cut off the border. we're talking yesterday to phil black when he was on the border there. he said that the isis fighters are not stopping the refugees. they are more interested in the terrain. they want to incorporate that into the area they control and they regard that as their border. >> colonel rick francona, always appreciate getting your

perspective. thank you for taking the time this morning. >> sure. air travelers are still rebooking after a fire at an air traffic control center grounded thousands of flights in chicago. what police say the man accused of setting the fire posted on facebook just before the turmoil began. >> and there is a new clinton on the planet this morning. we're going to catch up with some baby news. denver international is one of the busiest airports in the country. we operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal, generating electricity on-site, and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we're very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment.

enforcement move their units and try and zero in on eric matthew frein. what we know at this point from police is that the recent sighting was about two, maybe three days ago at this point. they are doing a parallel investigation while they search for frein they are also looking into his history. and his background. here's what they uncovered. they now determined that they believe he was planning for a conframtation with police officers for years and that evidence comes from the hard drive of a computer a search of that has turned up a couple of things. frein had spent a great deal of time researching things likes police manhunts, survival skills, law enforcement technologies, they are also telling us they are learning that he had experimented with making homemade explosives. so that is something that officers are told to be aware of as they head into the woods looking for the possibility of booby traps and trying to conduct this search aggressively at the same time they know in this case they really have to approach with caution. >> i was going to say alexandra,

i know that they were watching for booby traps, is there anything else that they learned that is going to have to modify or readjust how they look for him? >> reporter: you know, there are about 1,000 law enforcement officers, christi, who have been involved with this. not only are they trying to look for any physical sightings of the suspect but looking for any signs they can find out here that he is still around. we know in the last two weeks they recovered a few of his items they believe he left behind. we're also hearing that they have been looking at some of the abandoned and empty shelters and homes in this area and have seen evidence that some of these structures have been tampered with. right now police are telling us they believe that the suspect is playing some kind of game, certainly they want to bring it to an end. >> a lot of information. thank you so much for that. so for two weeks police in charlottesville, virginia have been sifting through tips looking for evidence in the disappearance of missing uva

so, that's what was happening while we were sleeping. he was being moved. do we know, jean, if he is talking much to police? >> reporter: we don't know at all if he's talking much. the only words we heard him say when he first came before a judge in galveston, texas he talked about they had taken his clothes so you could see that what he had on his mind was not what law enforcement has on their mind, possibly. but he did spend the night, his first night back in charlottesville. i do understand he is in segregation, which is for his safety and the safety of the other inmates. also they allowed two free phone call, when you get booked in the jail and he passed on that. he didn't want to call anyone. i think this community says okay, he's in here, we better focus on hannah. dispatch operators, they are bringing more in from fairfax county, virginia, to take calls from the tip line. they want anybody to call that saw anything that saw hannah, they are still asking for that

because there were so many people out and about in the community that night. and temple restaurant is something that was the last stop, at least for jesse, and police believe that he then met hannah and they walked away. i spoke with the owner of temple restaurant. he said that he was there and he immediately looked at jesse because he wasn't dressed like the other people were. but he never saw hannah in there. just jesse. he came two times, he acted erratic, excited, very, very just hyper. and a local radio commentator told cnn the same thing, listen to this. >> i spoke with people who were partying with mr. matthew that night, i spoke with people who were in temple, and they described his behavior as disturbing, erratic, aggressive. he was constantly tracking these women around the bar, putting his arm around them, touching their hair, their back, their

legs. one of the young women with whom i spoke told me she finally had to tell him keep your f-ing hands off me. that took place about an hour before he ran into hannah here on the downtown mall. >> reporter: now, yesterday at the emergency dispatch center when they were taking all of those tip line calls, you're not going to believe who walked in. hannah's parents walked in. and i'm told the room just came to a solemn halt. and hannah's mother spoke to all of the 911 dispatch operators to thank them, that they were overwhelmed that they were trying to help find her daughter by taking these tips from people around the community. and so christi, it was a moment that i guess everyone got very emotional and when we were there yesterday, cupcakes and cookies were delivered. and it was from hannah's parents once again to say we can't believe that you care so much about finding our daughter. >> unbelievable.

jean, normally in a case like this, you have information that you can glean from affidavits, in support of a search warrant, or in support of an arrest warrant. have you been getting those documents? and have they been giving you any clues about what authorities think in this case? >> reporter: we have gotten none of those documents, joe, because as an attorney you know they are sealed many times. in this high profile case everything has been sealed. when you ask well, what was the probable cause that you had to arrest him for abduction, which is the kidnapping. that's what he is arrested for at this point. they say that credible evidence, that they have from the car and the apartment, led to that arrest. the forensics weren't in so what was the credible evidence in the car? could be tangible items, right, that were found in the car. yet we heard at the police press conference they haven't found her cell phone, they haven't found her clothes at all.

but that doesn't mean there aren't other personal effects they may have found in the vehicle or the apartment. >> very good point. jean casarez in charlottesville, virginia there, thank you so much for letting us know what's happening this hour. u.s. warplanes have unleashed a new round of air strikes on isis overnight. >> and word coming in to cnn that british fighter jets are now in the skies above iraq. we'll tell you more in a moment. . and never quite get over it. seven billion hungry people. well, we grow a lot of food. we also waste about a third of what we grow. so, we put our scientists to work. and they found ways to keep the food we grow fresher, longer. using innovative packaging. there are still a lot of hungry people in the world. but we have a lot of scientists. this is the human element at work. dow.

i'm not in the air operations center looking at what's happening on and tasking the planes to do what they are doing. in general what we're seeing in iraq now is still the shaping phase as we call it. we're not into a decisive operation yet to push isis out of iraq. we still have a u.s. division headquarters, i think not boots on the ground but about 150, 250 soldiers led by u.s. major general who will provide command and control for how we're going to advise and assist the iraqi forces, both the iraqi army and the kurdish peshmerga as well. once we start to see a major ground operation to push the islamic state out of iraq, we're not there yet. we're still in the opening phases of this conflict. >> which sort of begs the question, we've been seeing both in syria as well as iraq, this

attempt to hit targets of opportunity. that would be armored personnel carriers, tanks, what have you. how significant is that in the short-term, or is this -- are all they doing flying around and making their prerns known and harder for isis to move around, moving assets and so on. >> having the aircraft up in the air is important. at the very least as you say, it's keeping the islamic state from operating freely. they are no longer able to get in a convoy of 100 vehicles with black legs flying. they will be destroyed in detail by the u.s., british, other aircraft. now, as to whether they are able to find a target of opportunity or not, this is the downside of not having air controllers on the ground. air power can still help but it's not as potent without

trained observers with radios talking to the pilots, telling them exactly where the friendly troops are and where the hostile troops are, and the situation like we're seeing currently, troops are intermingled and they are hiding among the civilian population, it's very difficult to use air power effectively in those circumstances. >> not only that, but we have this situation this week where 100-plus iraqis were killed by isis, a base was seized because as we understand the vehicles were driving up but they were vehicles from the iraqis so they didn't realize that they were actually isis fighters. how effective, catherine, can the u.s. air campaign be if troops on the ground seem to be dare i say so ill prepared? >> we're looking at a situation very hard to differentiate between enemy targets and friendly targets. that's one of the benefits of having eyes on the ground. i do think that we need to be very aware of what we're doing

in syria and how it's affecting the syrian fight. we're looking at a situation where the u.s. is hitting targets that are -- we're deeming terrorists. but that's allowing the assad regime to consolidate against the secular opposition that the u.s. is supporting in southern syria. so we need to look at a strategy when dealing with the syrian problem. >> douglas action we have a snippet of sound about the strategy for isis. >> this isn't just about air strikes, air strikes can kill terrorists, but it's about a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat of isil. that's why taking on foreign fighters, cracking down on their financing, humanitarian assistance, delegitimizing isil, these are all components of this comprehensive strategy. >> comprehensive strategy. has the united states even

settled on a political or economic strategy, if so, what is that? >> i think our strategy has shifted to recognize that isil is our most potent threat in the region. just pointed out i think for a long time we were so concerned about not aiding the assad regime, that not only we, but all of the neighbors in the region, really refused to do anything about the isil threat and let it fester. that's part of why, for example, turkey has been openly -- not openly but clearly letting things happen for the islamic state. not cutting off foreign fighters, their money, they cared more about the overthrow of the assad regime than the islamic state festering in syria. now that is starting to change and we're shifting our assessment of the threat to realize that the islamic state is the premiere threat in the region while we're no fans of the assad regime, the assad

regime is not planning to attack the homeland any time soon. that's a second tier problem. >> general tony zinni said you've got to get them out of iraq, meaning isis. not that they are going to take it but they can cause chaos in baghdad. i want to ask you how imperative now that we've got british forces overhead, how imperative is to the stop isis before they surge on baghdad? >> it's very important. and i'm actually concerned that we're looking at a baghdad that will blow up. we have shia militia forces, iraqi security forces and it will devolve into something we saw earlier in 2005, 2006. but i think that when you're looking at isis itself, simply going after isis in iraq is not sufficient. the group doesn't recognize the border between iraq and syria and will be able to retreat back into syria and remain a vigil lent threat against the united states. >> really interesting discussion

there. thanks to both of you. >> thank you. coming up, doctors on the front lines of ebola find a way to help the sick using an unlikely form of treatment. chelsea clinton has given birth to a baby girl. we'll tell you how hillary clinton is reacting to becoming a grandmother. support both mental sharpness and physical energy with berocca. proud sponsor of mind and body. watch this. sam always gives you the good news in person, bad news in email. good news -- fedex has flat rate shipping. it's called fedex one rate. and it's affordable. sounds great.

the clintons, they have not been shy about saying they have been waiting for this moment. >> right. >> they are not using it but they haven't been shy. >> no doubt. look, just like any grandparent, i'm sure you guys felt the pressure from my parents as well as my wife's mother as well before we had children, but look, that little girl that grew up in the national spotlight in the 1990s, she has her own little girl now. we learned last night after midnight that chelsea clinton had a baby girl, she put this note out on facebook and twitter to announce the news. marc and i are full of love, awe and gratitude we celebrate the birth of our daughter charlotte clinton mezvinsky. the clintons have not been shy. they are being guarded now, though, because they want to try to give this young family a little bit of space but again, as you said, they have talked about it. this is what hillary clinton had to say earlier this week.

>> my book tour i must have shaken 70,000 hands and probably more than half of them mentioned something about being a grandparent. and oftentimes it was sort of joking like it's so much better than being a parent. you know, if i had known how good it was i would have skipped the first part. >> so there you have hillary clinton talking about it. first lady, senator, secretary of state, now a grandmother. >> i hope you don't get in trouble for calling out your mother-in-law on television there. talking about how she bugged you about it. i know a lot of people are probably looking at this and she is a polarizing figure, people probably have their mind made up about hillary clinton politically. could this affect her decision to run? >> they have talked about it. she started talking about it in political terms in speeches that she has given. you talk to the clinton allies they don't want to try to link this at all. they do want to try to separate it. the fact of the matter is it's connected but to your point,

people have made up their mind about hillary clinton. we believe she is going to run for president. and look, this wasn't a surprise. we knew this baby was coming. we should expect hillary clinton to announce her intentions. whether she runs or not, by the end of the year. looks like she is going to run. >> all the best to the clintons and the new baby. appreciate it so much coming to us from d.c. thank you. >> next on "new day," hiv drug is being used to treat people infected with ebola in liberia. does it work? cnn is on the front line.

isolation unit and i want to introduce you to four young women. elizabeth, susan, fatu and masa. they came with ebola but they were given the hiv drug and now they are doing well, they are able to walk around and they will be discharged soon. >> tell me how do you feel now? the doctor tried the drug on 15 patients and only two have died. across west africa the outbreak is killing at a rate of 70%, but in this group of patients, just 7%. is it possible that effective treatment for ebola may have come from here, from your ebola treatment center in this rural area? >> yes. it's highly possible. >> reporter: we reach out to top scientists in the u.s., does the doctor'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 say no, don't use a drug until you had a study. you need a study first. what would you say to that? >> elizabeth, our people are dying and you are talking about studies. is the matter of doing all i can to save some people life. >> gosh, what an incredible doctor doing what he has to do with what he's got. look what's happening. to learn more about how you can impact your world and fight against ebola, visit our website, cnn.com/impact. thank you for doing so. >> it was meant to help the iraqi military fight isis, but then it fell into the hands of the terror group. now, the u.s. is using air strikes to destroy it. a look at the cost of war coming up next. simple question: in retirement, will you outlive your money?

the u.s. is expanding its effort now to degrade and destroy isis by launching air strikes in syria. in the process it's spending millions of dollars a day to destroy, get this, its own equipment. cnn money's christina explains all of this to us. good morning. >> christi, as you mentioned this is equipment the u.s. gave or sold to iraqi security forces in the war that ended in 2011. the vehicles like humvees that isil got its hands on. the pentagon confirmed as much to cnn saying when we have seen terrorists employing this

equipment we sought to eliminate that threat. we're sending $30,000 bombs to destroy humvees worth a quarter million dollars each. i counted 41 in total since the attacks began in august. and we may eventually have to replace them, analysts say, in fact, if we want the iraqi military to secure its own border. those are future costs. right now the pentagon says we're spending between 7.5 and $10 million per day. that number will ultimately go up. remember, we ramped up the campaign this week starting attacks in syria, with 47 tomahawk missiles. those alone lost $1.5 million each. now in that mission we also sent 48 strike ready aircraft. that includes the f-22 raptor which cost about $62,000 an hour to fly. and experts say the munitions cost up to $30,000 each. those are a drop in the bucket compared to the overall

military. >> thank you so much. for more on the cost of war visit money.com. >> that's it for us. see you back here at 10:00 eastern. "smerconish" starts right now. i'm michael smerconish. isis propaganda, success flgful? looks like. forcing western hostages to spout their party line. we'll get into it. racism, on the decline, that's a good thing, but partyism is on the rise. what's that? it's discrimination based on party affiliation, a fascinating topic, and the politics of fear could sway the midterm elections. congress won't vote on going after isis, with the launch of air strikes candidates are using political ads to scare voters. let's get started.
