you can find the whole list on cnnmoney.com. thanks for joining us on your saturday. have a great weekend. good afternoon, everyone. i'm deborah feyerick. you are in the "cnn newsroom." coming up this hour, new u.s. air strikes against isis are underway, as british forces also take to the skies above iraq, offering air support. >> is there a threat to the british people? the answer is yes. >> and back home, new details emerging about who is behind the beheading in oklahoma. now one state trooper is sounding off about her encounter with alton nolen. >> i wish i'd had killed him,

you know? i was never afraid of him, or i would have. and will he or won't he? authorities want answers from jesse matthew, accused in the disappearance of 18-year-old hannah graham. we'll go live to the scene in just a few minutes. but first, now fully engaged in the fight against isis is the united kingdom. two british fighter jets flew a recon and intelligence mission over iraq today, just hours after parliament gave the thumbs up for british forces to fire on isis targets. american forces attacked isis positions today. the pentagon says fighters, bombers, and remotely piloted aircraft launched ten separate air strikes in syria and iraq. some of those combat missions took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier "george h.w. bush" in the persian gulf. cnn has people on the flight deck of the "bush." a report from there coming up straight ahead. isis fighters battled it out

with kurdish troops on syria's border with turkey. the fighting sent a couple of hundred of thousands of people running for their lives. we've got a report also coming up. but first, karl penhaul in london outside 10 downing street. and karl, the uk is now saying all in with the growing coalition to fight isis, flying its first missions today over iraq. how hard was it for david cameron to really sell this to parliament, given how vocal he's been about the isis threat? >> reporter: well, deborah, all in may be overstating the british participation somewhat, and that is that david cameron has had to go softly softly on to get parliament first of all to agree, britain participating within this coalition at all. now, britain's participation right now is limited to six fighter jets and their actions are restricted only to iraq, against isis positions in iraq, not at all in syria for now.

and that is because of the stiff opposition that britain faces or the british prime minister faced against any involvement in syria last year in 2013, even though the motion on the table at that stage was to fight the assad regime directly. and so right now, prime minister david cameron is going bit by bit. so six british jets have been contributed to the coalition. that, putting it in perspective, is about the same number that the country of jordan has, that holland and belgium are contributing, and one less than denmark is contributing. and today, in terms of the action that those fighter jets carried out, well, two fighter jets flying over iraq and the minister of defense here says that they found no targets to engage. and so for that reason, simply conducted surveillance missions. we are told they will continue to do these missions to see what they can find in the coming days. >> and karl, at some levels it appears that the uk is leaving

the heavy lifting really not united states as well as some of the arab nation partners, who are fully engaged, who are taking out locations, both in iraq and syria. how did they decide that right now they were only going to provide surveillance and reconnaissance, and nothing more? >> well, no, britain's mission is also to attack targets, to bomb targets. those fighter jets that were in the air today were fully equipped with missiles and with laser-guided bombs. the minister of defense simply said, they did not find targets to hit. that really speaks to the kind of enemy that isis is. isis is not going to stand around in large formations, waiting to be bombed, either by british fighter jets, arab fighter jets, or the americans themselves. they will break down into small, much more mobile guerilla units, something that they know very well how to do. because that is their origin. it's a mobile insurgent group, not as a large, conventional army. and so, really, britain is going to have to watch how to engage

in this fight. but certainly, right now, make no doubt about it, the united states is doing the heavy lifting, and the arab nations, well, really, they are just playing a bit role, as is britain and the european nations, deborah. >> all right, karl penhaul, thank you so much. and we'll be talking with our military experts on whether isis had a heads up before this strike was launched. thanks, karl. and we want you to take a look at this map. it is where the pentagon is telling us that coalition air strikes have focused over the past two days. lots of isis targets deep inside syria. the cities of aleppo and raqqa, the place isis considers its capital. the list of targets is varied, buildings and even individual vehicles. the air forces of jordan, the uae, united arab emirates, and saudi arabia also dropped bombs on isis in syria and many of the u.s. flights started on board an aircraft carrier that's in the persian gulf. cnn's becky anderson is there.

>> what you're seeing behind me is the last of the fighter jets and helicopters coming back from their armed sorties. the f-18 hit the deck at 150 knots, in what is known as an arrested landing. and those traps effectively pull them back. you can see the end of the aircraft carrier with the white lights, just below me here. this is 4 1/2 acres of vessel, just a very, very small area in which these pilots must land. it's 10:00 at night, and it feels a lot more peaceful on what is a 24/7 operation. but believe me, earlier on in the day, it was hectic out here. and by tomorrow morning, as the sun rises, they'll be doing it all again. >> remarkable precision, becky anderson, thank you. and one of those coalition air strikes today hit a border

crossing, separating turkey and syria. turkey is now participating in military missions against isis, but they are now dealing with hundreds of thousands of syrians, who have fled their homes when isis fighters simply got too close. yesterday, while cnn cameras caught a firefight between isis and kurdish forces on the border. take a look. >> an extraordinary scene as dusk is falling here on the syrian border. isis fighters in action. we just saw a trace of fire move across the skyline there. something of an ooh and an ahh from the crowd here. this crowd of turkish kurds, when they have seen a lot of incoming fire going into that isis position, they've been cheering their kurdish brothers on the other side. we can see from that trace of fire that they are still receiving incoming fire, and it is at that position that our photo journalist, claudia, has seen isis fighters take casualties, take hits. isis has been making progress. a few more miles each day.

just take a look up there now. [ cheers and applause ] what you're seeing is tracer fire moving into that ridgeline that is currently occupied by isis forces. and around me, the kurdish crowd is cheering. take a listen. [ cheering ] >> remarkable theater there. cnn's arwa damon is on the syria/turkish border today. arwa? >> reporter: at one point, the only position that the kurds had preventing isis was that hilltop. but then we saw them using artillery and .50-caliber machine guns to drive isis fighters back, managing to gain another strategic hilltop in the process. isis moved into this area of syria, well over a week ago. very rapidly taking over dozens of villages and towns and sending around 200,000 people

fleeing for their lives into turkey. kobani was and still is the last town standing. ever since the fighting broke out this close to the turkish border, these various hilltops have been spilled with spectators watching the battle unfold in front of them. the kurds managed to regain strategic territory by pushing isis off of the hilltop, that isis used to control. farther into the distance, we can barely see them from where we are. but those three villages, they are still under isis control, and they were coming under sporadic small arm, heavy machine gun, and artillery fire. despite the fact that the kurds, at least at this front line, did manage to push isis back, they are still calling for additional support. they want those coalition aircraft to come and strike at these various targets. because kobani still remains a city under siege. the last town standing in this

part of northwestern syria that has not fallen to isis, but at this stage, without additional support, it is unclear how long this kurdish fighting force can keep isis at bay. arwa damon, cnn along the turkey/syria border. and a form of theater. that's what one leader in the u.s. coalition is calling air strikes against iran and syria. we'll discuss that, but first, new pictures of the man accused of beheading a coworker in oklahoma. now the fbi has stepped in to find out why.

and now to oklahoma, where the fbi is investigating a man accused of beheading one of his coworkers and severely injuring another. alton nolen is in the hospital after an off-duty sheriff's deputy shot him. police say he had just lost his job, that he was also allegedly trying to convert his coworkers to islam. cnn's nick valencia reports that nolen's facebook page paints an extremely disturbing picture. >> reporter: police say this is the facebook page of the man suspected of beheading a coworker in moore, oklahoma. the images and messages on the page of alton nolen, who goes by an alias here, appear to support islamic radicals and ridicule christianity. in recent posts, nolen writes about judgment day, and criticizes the united states and israel. the posts are a mixed array, some more disturbing than

others. it was on thursday that police say nolen brought horror to his workplace. he had just been fired from his job that day, only to return shortly afterward with a knife. >> he encountered the first victim and began assaulting her with a knife. he did kill colleen and did serve her head. >> according to police, the suspect than began attacking a second woman, when he was shot and stopped by an armed company executive. mark vaughn, son of the company's founder, is also a reserve sheriff's deputy. police say it was his actions that prevented more death. >> it could have gotten a lot worse. this guy definitely wasn't going to stop. he wasn't going to stop until he was shot. >> reporter: the barbaric nature of the crime has led some to speculate that the act could be related to something large and could be led by islamic extremists. in recent weeks, nolen had tried

to convert his coworkers to islam. but in a statement to cnn, oklahoma's governor warned not to jump to conclusions before the investigation is complete. the fbi is assisting local police. >> and nick valencia joins me now. and nick, one of the outstanding questions, we had heard so much about being prepared for lone wolf attacks. how is it, given what you found on facebook, that nobody saw this previously and even flagged any kind of authority to the possibility that this man was acting in a very strange way, trying to aggressively convert his coworkers, anything like that. isn't this what we're supposed to be doing, looking for these kinds of clues? >> great points, deb. i called the fbi earlier today to ask them that. if perhaps alton nolen was being monitored by the fbi. they still haven't spoken to him, as far as we know. local police and the federal authorities waiting until he comes out of that sedation. up until last night, he was in stable condition in the hospital after being shot by that ceo, i mentioned in my piece. but we do know, deb, he has a lengthy criminal history, which

includes briefly leading police on a manhunt. there was a state trooper who had a run-in in with him four years ago. and she says after she found out what alton nolen is accused of, she wished she would have killed him when she had the chance. >> and coming up, the state trooper who had that physical altercation back in 2010 says she's sorry she did not kill him. she'll join us live coming up in the 5:00 hour. and police are still searching for uva student, hannah graham. the suspect in the case is now back in virginia. could he provide any answers? that's next. but first, anthony bourdain getting a taste of china in the season premiere of "parts unknown." it comes your way tomorrow night at 9:00 eastern and you don't have to wait until then to get a preview. here it is. >> shanghai. whatever you think of china, whatever you think you think of china, there's no way around it.

the university of virginia community is holding out hope that missing college student hannah graham might still be found alive. she vanished two weeks ago. police say graham was last seen leaving a bar with suspect jesse matthew. he was arrested while camping on a beach in texas. he is now in custody back in virginia. matthew's father says that he's shocked. >> to kill or hurt somebody, that's not my son. >> jean casarez joins us from charlottesville, virginia. and jean, police had questioned jesse matthew before and then they let him go. have they spoken to him now? have they had a chance to question what he was doing that night? >> reporter: you know, it's interesting, because it was a week ago today that jesse matthew, who is behind me in the regional jail, by the way, on a no bond hold, but a week ago

today, he walked into the police department. why? we don't know. because he asked for a lawyer. and so they had to get a list for him, and he checked a name, and that attorney came. they spoke, we believe. and then he left. so he never even talked to police. and then one thing led to another, and he made his way to galveston, texas. that's confirmed. and you know, there is an emergency exception. i'm sure you remember this from the tsarnaev case, where you can ask questions when you have an emergency situation. this is a missing persons case. they want to find hannah. and so i'm sure they asked him questions, where is she? is she alive? where can we find her? but at this point, what's happening today is it's an all-out search. and there are professional searchers at the command center, going out into the rural areas of this community, and the county is over 740 square miles. that's how large it is. so they're going to the desolate land, they're going to the abandoned homes.

any place that they think she could be. and remember, the charge is abduction, kidnapping, but it has nothing to do with someone who is deceased or a homicide. >> you know, it's so interesting, with all that's going on to try to find her, there's a $100,000 reward for any information. is he cutting a deal right now? do you get the sense that one reason that you haven't heard a lot is maybe his lawyer is negotiating on his behalf? >> reporter: well, he hasn't even made his first court appearance yet, that will be next thursday. and the reason it's that far long is because the court is closed on monday, tuesday, and wednesday. but as this case proceeds, i'm sure his attorney will look at every available avenue, because the point is to find hannah, the point is to find her soon, and i think we never know what goes on behind closed doors. i think the charges will be elevated. that's what i'm looking for. >> absolutely, no question.

and clearly everybody desperate to know exactly where hannah graham and her parents have been so gracious to everybody who has been helping in the search for her. jean casarez, thank you so much. appreciate it. we'll check in you a little bit later on. >> thanks, deb. and the russian foreign minister just gave a blistering speech at the united general assembly, the uaga, and it was directly aimed at the united states and president obama. you'll hear that, straight ahead. at t-mobile, get 4 lines for just $100 bucks. with unlimited talk & text and now up to 10gb of 4g lte data. grab the hottest new phones. get the best trade-in value on your current phone guaranteed. let's see the other guys beat that. get 4 lines for $100 bucks.

welcome back, everyone. we want to bring you up to speed on the international efforts to destroy isis. right now the battle against the sunni extremists is focused near a kurdish village in syria close to the turkish border. kurdish fighters with the help of coalition air strikes have been holding the line against an isis advance. about once a minute, u.s. war planes launch from the "uss george h.w. bush" to bomb isis positions. well, british jets also joined the fight today, providing reconnaissance and gathering

intelligence. they were also ready to strike, however they didn't find any targets. it's still too early to tell what impact the coalition air power is having against targets on the ground. but if moscow hopes it will back it up with regards to stopping isis, this target group, well, russia's foreign minister today, he nixed that idea, nixed any kind of cooperation. he made his remarks before the u.n. general assembly. we're going to play that sound for you in just a moment. but first, we want to bring in cnn's erin mcpike. she is at the white house. and also senior united nations correspondents, richard roth. he is at the u.n. first to you, richard. these were especially harsh and pointed words. no secret that they do not support the u.s., that they are supporting syria, but these were particularly stinging words. what did he say and what was his objective? >> i mean this year, deb, it seems like a cliche to say, it was like the cold war all over again, but it was a bruising speech filled with sharp, pointed rhetoric, naming the united states or washington. sergey lavrov, longtime putin

foreign minister, here on his old grounds as a former ambassador, palablasting washin for aggressive military tactics, which he says is not really conforming to international legitimacy. >> the western u.s.-led alliance that portrays itself as human rights within individual countries is from exactly an opposite position, rejecting the diplomatic principle of sovereign equality of states and trying to decide for everyone what is good and what is evil. washington has openly declared its right to the unilateral use of the military force anywhere to advocate its own interests. military interference has become a normal. even despite the dismal outcome of all operations of force that the u.s. has carried out over recent years. >> reporter: the visiting

russian did not specifically criticize attacks on isis. russia has gone along with diplomatic moves in agreement with the security council against the islamic extremists. however, he said, from y yugoslavia and elsewhere, they have created strain. >> interesting, richard. you know, the u.s. has been very clear that this campaign against isis is really an anti-terrorism campaign. russia does not see it as that. do they see it as more an ability the to control parts of that region? if that were the case, wouldn't the u.s. want to put boots on the ground? >> russia stresses the diplomacy, multilateral forums. even though it has its own interests in fighting terrorists in its backyard in the caucuses. so a lot of this is rhetoric for back home, but also to explain russian anger as what it's seen

as maybe years of u.s. military muscle flexing, as the soviet union disintegrated. and as we know, president putin trying to restore a little moscow pride and big muscles on the world stage. >> all right. richard roth, thank you. erin, to you at the white house. first of all, what has been their reaction. are they pleased with how the air strikes have being carried out and are they saying it's been effective so far? >> reporter: deb, cnn's reporting on the ground says that these air strikes have not made much of a difference yet, and what we're hearing from the pentagon is that it has destroyed, they have -- these air strikes have destroyed some isis buildings and some vehicles and they have done some damage to an airfield and some command posts. but not taken anything out. and cnn's arwa damon has been in the area and she said it has not broken the siege over kobani. but a u.s. defense official stresses to us that it's not too little, too late. and of course we heard from

defense secretary chuck hagel yesterday, that this will take more than just air strikes. they're also stressing that these are in some civilian areas, so they've had to be careful, deb. >> all right. erin mcpike there at the white house. certainly, a lot of coalition building, a lot of firepower. now everyone's watching to see what kind of an effect, what kind of an impact it has. thank you so much. we'll check back with you in just a short while. and a form of theater, that is how one world leader describes these coalition air strikes against iran and syria. who said that and why, next.

well, as we saw in both afghanistan and iraq, air power typically leads to ground forces. but president obama has said repeatedly that he has no intention of sending american combat troops back into the region to fight isis. but at the same time, he and other u.s. officials acknowledge that air strikes alone, they're simply not going to get the job done. in an interview with cnn chief international correspondent, christiane amanpour, iran's president dismissed the air strikes as theater with no real significance. >> translator: the middle east has really the level of terrorism as really skyrocketed. it is relentless and savage and that does not have mercy against women, elders, children, or anyone. so it is a common threat for all of us and this requires unison efforts from all of us. >> so you're fine with these strikes inside syria and inside

iraq, against daesh, against the islamic state. >> you're fully aware yourself that islamic groups are always on the move, they're constantly and highly mobile, they're not an organized army that can be damaged heavily or considerably through aerial bombardments. we need a vast campaign of operations. two, three, four, a dozen, two, three dozen of aerial bombardments is probably insignificant against their installations and compounds. the aerial bombardments have more the form of a psychological than succeeding. so it's mostly a form of theater rather than a serious battle against terrorism. >> and joining us to share his experience is the cnn military analyst, colonel rick francona. and from london, lina ka katib.

lina, you recently wrote a piece stating that air strikes will not be effective. why do you believe that? >> air strikes, as the iranian president has pointed out, would be effective if you have, for example, an organized army with recognized air bases. but isis is an organization that works on the ground and it's deeply embedded in the civil community or the civilian community in iraq and syria. it would be impossible, even with precision bombing, to actually cause significant damage to isis. >> so, colonel, let me go to you. in terms of what we're seeing, do you believe these air strikes are, in fact, effective? >> well, it depends on where you are. in iraq, they've been somewhat effective. remember what was happening just a few weeks ago. isis was rolling up town after town. they were rolling down the too

euphrates valley, rolling down the tigris valley, they're not doing that anymore. the air strikes were a toibl slow that momentum down, almost stop it. now we're getting the iraqi forces on the ground to reengage. so they've been somewhat effective in that. otherwise, they would have been further south of baghdad by now. >> do you think, and i'm going to ask you this question as well, lina. do you think, in fact, they're just going underground right now? that, in fact, they will resurface, miss khatib? >> yes. what has happened is that isis anticipated these air strikes by going underground. they have evacuated whatever bases they had under their control, and they have hidden most of their leaders and their members. so, in a way, we can see that air strike is actually part of the isis strategy. because it wants a defensive war. >> all right, so colonel, i see you not particularly agreeing with that comment, but let me ask you about that. look, the u.s. was so vocal in

projecting and broadcasting what it was going to do. it said it's building a coalition, said we're going to do an air strike, we're not going to do this by ourself, and all of a sudden, isis is watching. what's to say that they haven't gone so deep underground that they're simply waiting. that's the insurgent strategy. >> well, of course. we announced this two weeks before we did anything. and we've talked about this. it's not anything revolutionary. we've been talking about it since the night that the president announced that. we said isis is going to disperse. they've done that, moved all their things out of their headquarters. but what's left we're hitting, you can't not do anything. what's a solution? not do air strikes? you have to take what action you can. strike the forces you can find. and we were able to help the kurds retake the mosul dam. >> so this is a disruption. do you see this, however, as a total sort of degradation, which is the objective of the this entire coalition, which is to get rid of isis? >> well, this is the first step. no one has said air power was

going to be the magic bullet that was going to solve everything, even chairman dempsey yesterday said that this is the air power is part of an overall plan. it needs to be boots on the ground. everybody knows that. you've got to go in and root these guys out, in any asymmetrical warfare, you have to have troops that are trained to do this. and we're very good at this, but we're not going to do it. he wants other troops to do this. in iraq, we know who's w.h.o that's going to be. it's going to be the iraqi army and the peshmerga. in syria -- >> it's clear. this is civil war. >> i think this is the weak part in the whole argument. if we're relyi ining on the fre syrian army, the vetted arguments, to be our boots on the ground, i think that might be really problematic down the road. >> nobody wants isis, it's seen as a global threat at this particular point in time. what is the solution then, if it's not air strikes? >> air strikes are very limited

in what they can do. what we need to think about is a long-term strategy that goes beyond military action. what i mean is, looking at why people in syria and vk affiliated themselves with isis in the first place. and this means looking at economic dwrooechgrievances, po grievances, and social grievances that have made isis attractive to its recruits. once you tackle these issues and once you come up with a political transition plan for syria that looks at who will hold syria together once isis falls, then you begin to think of a truly comprehensive strategy that goes beyond military action. because is cyst is so embedded within is civilian population, that even free syrian army troops on the ground are only going to be engaging basically civilians if they do participate in this war. so the solution i'm suggesting is a very long-term one, not a short-term military solution. >> and the question, obviously, that we will get to later on in this hour, is whether, in fact,

time is not on the coalition or on the united states' side at this point within given the isis threat. okay. well, 1.4 million. that is how many people down infected by the end of the year if the ebola outbreak in africa cannot be contained. what is being done to keep that from happening? the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases joins me next. ♪ [music] jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today her doctor has her on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. crestor lowered bad cholesterol in it's a fact. high-risk patients more than lipitor.

if we move fast, even if imperfectly, then that could mean the difference between 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 deaths versus hundreds of thousands or even a million deaths. >> president obama at the united nations this week, urging a rapid global response to the ebola outbreak in west africa. it has been nearly a year since the first case was reported. more than 3,000 people have died in at least five countries. but that is nothing compared to what could lie ahead. the disease is spreading so quickly that the cdc warns that ebola could infect 1.4 million people by next january if left unchecked. that would be the same as every

man, woman, and child in the city of phoenix contracting the disease. and president obama had this to say to more than 40 world leaders who met yesterday at the white house for a health summit. >> no nation can meet these challenges on its own. nobody's that isolated anymore. oceans don't protect you, walls don't protect you. and that means all of us as nations and as an international community need to do more to keep our people safe. and a that's why we're here. we have to change our mind-sets and start thinking about biological threats as the security threats that they are. in addition to being humanitarian threats and economic threats. >> and i want to bring in dr. anthony fauci, he is director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases at nih in washington. let's get right to it. 1.4 million. the possibility of it spreading to that many people. how is it spreading so rapidly

and is it sympathetomething tha even be contained? >> certainly, it can be contained if we put the proper amount of resources of infection control. the reason we've seen this explosive nature of this outbreak in the countries involved is that the health care structure there is much that it's very difficult to effectively identify, isolate, and do contact the more people that get infected it compounds in an almost exponential way. that is the reason why the president's words almost hold so true that we must dramatically escalate our response not only in the united states but many, many countries and organizations because as the president said no one nation and no one organization is going to be able to control this. it has to be a group together working synergistically together. that is what we need to do otherwise the numbers of large expansion of cases is something that is a real threat. >> and also when you are talking

about 1.4 million cases you are talking about the nexus. one doctor in the region is trying to use hiv medications as a treatment. it seems that it is working. you have spent so much of your career focused on aids and hiv. is it surprising that these might be working to counter act this disease. >> the medication that the doctor was referring to is one that really has not been shown to work. he is trying it. i can understand why when you are in a desperate situation and you don't have medications you try that. what we need to do is determine -- i had hopefully will be in communication with him to be able to test it in an organized way to see if there is some benefit. medications like that are not going to turn around this epidemic. what is going to turn it around is a marked acceleration of

infection control response. that is the important thing. that is what the president was referring to. >> what about advances in the medication that was used to treat the americans who came back to the united states? what is the status of that? why not try that to try to at least cure people who are there? >> it will be tried. the medication you are referring to is a medication called z map. and there are no doses left. there was very little amount. they would distribute it to people and has not been tested in a way to determine if it is effective, safe or paradoxically if it might do harm. as soon as more doses become available which will likely not be for a month and a half to two months then we have to test it to make sure that, in fact, it does work. and if it does get it to as many people as we possibly can. >> if i hear you correctly it sounds like what you are saying

is that curing this is not the immediate option. containing it is. >> that is absolutely correct. that is precisely the issue and exactly what the president was talking about when he was addressing the many countries yesterday. >> thank you so much. we appreciate your time on this. >> just in to cnn, george clooney no longer america's most eligible bachelor. he has found happiness tying the knot moments ago. a live report from his wedding straight ahead. ing to do it? who's going to make it happen? discover a new energy source. turn ocean waves into power. design cars that capture their emissions. build bridges that fix themselves. get more clean water to everyone. who's going to take the leap? who's going to write the code? who's going to do it? engineers. that's who. that's what i want to do. be an engineer. ♪ [ male announcer ] join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring america's future engineers.

there it is... this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree. ♪ (man) some things are worth holding onto. they're hugging the tree. (man) that's why we got a subaru. or was it that tree?

(man) introducing the all-new subaru outback. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. time to meet this week's cnn hero. >> i love being a mom. it's the most rewarding thing i have ever experienced. on the flip side the financial burden of having a child is just tremendous. so many people have such an abundance and so many others strive to afford even the basics. who wants to water? i remember reading an article about a mother who decided to give her child up for adoption because she couldn't seem to

hear her crying from hunger. i thought that no mother should ever be faced with that choice. that was when i decided i needed to do something. i started to collect excess baby gear. that was when moms helping moms was born. >> boys clothes are to the right. girls clothes are to the left. we have drives at our storage. we call them shopping. they are not paying anything for it. >> this is really cool. >> they are awesome. >> i have been out of work for about ten months. need clothes, diapers and wipes are a constant expense. >> take one more. >> it was hard to afford the things i needed for my kids without an income. >> thank god. >> the things i got today allow me to put that money towards my rent or my bills. >> every child deserves a fair start. if what we are doing helps

bridge the gap between people from different back grounds in a small way then it is definitely worth all the hard work. >> so what is that sound? i think it is hearts breaking all over after years of the world's most eligible bachelor george clooney tied the knot. what are you hearing? >> george clooney's publicist confirming to cnn that he is a married man. the marriage took place in a private ceremony at a lavish seven star hotel here in venice along the grand canal. i have to tell you these wedding celebrations have been incredible. hollywood could not have scripted or cast them any better. matt damon, bono, emily blunt, all been seen on high speed

boats being whisked around the canals of venice. it is a four-day event that began on friday. george clooney whisked away to his favorite hotel last night. his and her bachelor and bachelorette party and private wedding ceremony. >> incredible. and i have to give george clooney a lot of credit. he makes himself accessible enough so people can get the picture and then he has a private ceremony. they look beautiful and happy. we are seeing pictures of all of the celebs who got that invitation. we wish them well and we wish them good luck. you are in the cnn news room. and good afternoon everyone.

thanks for joining us. the fight against the rampaging group isis more than 50 countries strong. denmark is in and so is belgium and the united kingdom also sending planes. these war planes did drop bombs on targets in iraq. they were armed but limited to recon and intelligence. the defense ministry says they are ready to strike and authorized to do so by the british parliament. the french air force is making bombing runs and u.s. war planes are taking off and landing around the clock on board a u.s. aircraft carrier in the persian gulf. between yesterday and today the u.s.-led coalition launched ten separate air strikes against isis, targets in syria and iraq. while the most dramatic advances have been stopped it could be years before the militant group is degraded to the point that it

is no longer a threat. carl, the british parliament voted to support the coalition against isis from all three main parties. it is not syria that they are interested, just iraq. why is that? >> absolutely, deborah. there are limitations on that overwhelming vote that the british parliament had yesterday. the parliament said the british war planes can only engage over iraq and not in syria. and so far the number of war planes limited to this effort is six. that to put it in perspective is about the same number of aircraft that jordan is contributing to the coalition effort, one less than denmark is contributing to this effort and also about the same numbers as belgium and holland. one of the reasons i guess that prime minister david cameron is taking a soft approach on this

is because last year in 2013 he had his political nose very much bloodied when he sought a parliamentary vote to join president obama and the americans in bombing at the regime of president assad in syria after he used chemical weapons on his own people. that motion was rejected by parliament. that left the transatlantic alliance really hanging in the balance. so what prime minister cameron is trying to do it appears is trying to rebuild consensus gradually. that is why in the first stages british wall planes will only be allowed to target the isis positions in iraq and that because mr. cameron says is at the expressed request of the iraqi government. >> very quickly, is there a sense of how long the british team will be in on this? there are no troops on the ground so there is anxiety as to

how long british commitment will be there for. >> that is something that britain's defense minister has been somewhat criticized for after that parliamentary vote. they have really suggested it could be open ended. it could take a year or more to fight the isis threat on the ground. that really is in line with what the dutch government has said, as well, that their commitment is now beyond 12 months, certainly an indication that the european nations as well as the united states could be preparing for a very long campaign against a very slippery enemy that is isis. >> very good way to describe a slippery enemy. we thank you for your reporting on that. and a london based monitoring group claims six civilians have been killed in an air strike in syria today. yesterday defense secretary chuck hagel said it is too soon to know the casualties and the u.s. is taking every precaution to prevent civilian deaths.

president obama's rhetoric in the war against isis is becoming more and more forceful. he spoke at the u.n. earlier this week. >> there can be no reasoning or negotiation with this brand of evil. the only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. so the united states of america will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death. >> well, let's bring in cnn political commentators. these are fiery words. do you think air strikes will get the job done to everyone's satisfaction? >> realistically probably not. based on what many have said openly said you can only do so much from the air especially when you have so many fighters that are well trained that have fought against america in many different wars and roles.

they noods hunderstand how our campaigns work. i would love to say we would not have troops on the ground. to put us in that corner and act as if you are not going to listen to advisers saying that may not be enough i think it will be a problem. we have to look at other option. >> joint chiefs said friday that he would recommend the use of ground forces to defeat isis if he believes they are necessary. take a listen. >> i just stand by this statement. i will make a recommendation that -- the president gave me a mission, destroy isil. >> so while the president says repeatedly no boots on the ground his top general is leaving the door open probably the wise thing to do because he is the one who is looking at all of the different pieces and the players. is this complicating the

president's message and strategy mark? >> i don't think it complicates it if we understand it from an aerial perspective. the president has said from the beginning that air strikes are all we are going to do. there are going to be no boots on the ground. i always understood it to mean american boots. i think ultimately they contain isil. i think it is wise to say american boots on the ground is not the way to go. i think what we must do is rely on regional forces and troops to make this happen, why the president has been advocating more recently for arming rebel groups for helping troops in the north weigh in on this to help move the agenda forward. american groups on the ground are an actual problem for me. i would also add that i always thought it was unwise for the president to say boots on the ground are off the table from a

tactical perspective i don't think you should say that. >> i am not a military person but broadcasting exactly what is going to happen is probably giving the enemy a little bit of a heads up as to how to plan their strategy. republican senator rand paul had very harsh words for obama at the values voters summit friday. take a quick listen. >> the president acts like he is a king. he ignores the constitution. he arrogantly says if congress will not act then i must. these are not the words of a great leader. these are the words that sound more like the exclamations of an autocrat. >> while he agrees with obama's decision to lead an air strike campaign against isis his problem is that you didn't ask us. you didn't include us. is that a little bit of wah, wah. >> it is important for congress

to be involved. that is the way the government is supposed to be set up. i am not very jealous of other governments. the incredible debate that the uk parliament had yesterday over having air strikes was something i was invenvy s of. that is what congress is supposed to be able to do. i think if you want to have a grand debate which is ultimately what we should have because these people that are elected to congress are supposed to have a say so in this. they should do it and i actually think in the long run that would take pressure off barack obama. >> we are going to come back to you. we have to go to a quick break. it would be nice to see a bit of aggressive debate going head to head. don't go anywhere. i want to get your take on this next story. protests are up in ferguson as people make sure that the police chief knows they are not going to accept his apology no matter

how well meaningful discussed. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms? i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor.... can get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today. ♪ i thought it'd be bigger. ♪

all i got to say is this is [ bleep ] tragedy. i am sorry and i said that from my heart. you don't have to accept that. that came from my heart. i had to get that off my chest. that has been sitting there for two months. >> let's turn to the ferguson, missouri police chief thursday night offered an apology for his department's action after brown's shooting in august. as you just saw he decided he was going to go personally into the streets and repeat the apology to the members of the community. however, they were having none of it.

tempers flared. there were scuffles. police moved in to make the arrests. mark, it seems that there was some contrition there, that he was sorry for what happened but you can't get away from the fact that a public relations firm helped him craft this apology that he initially made and decided to take to the people. how do you perceive that? do you think it helped? >> no. in the long run maybe it will make some people feel better and i think an apology was warranted for the behavior of the police department after michael brown's shooting. i am concerned for the behavior before and leading up to the shooting. i happen to share that perspective. i think that the militarization of ferguson afterwards, victimization and criminalization of people on the ground afterwards warranted an apology. the department was irresponsible. there is not enough until there

is an arrest and justice in the courtroom. >> justice takes time because justice is based on facts. you have to get the facts of the case. that is why the grand jury is being careful about putting this together. do you think that the police chief should resign? he says no he is not going to do it? >> i don't he should resign until we find out what happened on that day. i think the apology was absolutely warranted but i don't like indicting people until we have the facts. a lot of people will not be happy no matter who is in charge in ferguson if there is not charges brought against that police officer. we saw when they brought in the state trooper to redo things in ferguson he had the kmunt mostly behind him and he lost control some of the community after that. so. >> keyword some. >> let me finish. my point is there are some people who do not care who is in

that position of power. they always prevent that the police officer should go to jail for the rest of his life. if they don't get that they are going to be angry and riot. >> mark, go ahead. you feel passionate about this. jump in. some argue the community did not do itself favors by rioting and looting and doing those kinds of things. was there enough sense that you guys are overreacting police department. we don't need what you are putting out there. what is your sense, mark? >> a few things. i don't concede that the ferguson community was doing the looting. i am speaking from perspective from people on the ground putting out fires. i saw outsiders doing that. i think the ferguson community on the whole was protecting the community and rallying and protesting for what they saw was wrongful killing of michael brown. on top of that i do think the community did itself a favor by making voices heard.

we didn't cover this stuff because a kid got killed but because the town was in protest of a kid getting killed. to the point about whether or not this guy should resign i don't think resignation should hinge on whether or not wilson is innocent or guilty. sometimes a police chief should resign because he lost the confidence of the town. if you were to do a poll of the town you would see this town doesn't believe in the police chief. if the town doesn't believe in the police and the town doesn't respect the police and the police don't show respect for the town -- >> i'm going to answer that. here is the point that mark is missing. you have leaders sometimes that people lose confidence in for a season or for a moment. barack obama right now, the american people don't have a lot of confidence in him based on the polls that he is doing the right thing to totally go and take out isis. that doesn't mean we say we need

a new president of the united states of america. you may have a leader who is lost and they say we don't like him on this one. it doesn't mean you take away the job. >> the problem with that thinking is that you have one police chief in charge of a small police force. at some point somebody should be able to say you guys we need to move you aside temporarily. you don't have the guidance or the council. you botched this. we have to make this right. the president has a lot of advisers. you have to believe there is a lot more brain power going into whether we go after isis. >> it is called a confidence vote. it is the ultimate issue here. you have a lot of people underneath this police chief the way barack obama does. if you look at polling every time we want to get rid of a leader we would have no leaders that stick around and lead. >> here is the difference between the example you gave and

what is happening in ferguson is this isn't just a public opinion poll. this is around trusting police and feeling comfortable with police and believing police have best interest at heart. >> and that's where we have to leave it. it is having confidence in the leaders. always so much to say, not enough time. we appreciate your time. thanks. bill and hillary clinton giving the world a look at their new grand child. we will show you photos coming up straight ahead.

i will tell you i am not hearing that anymore at all. you can kind of read into that, i think. >> so interesting. obviously congratulations to the happy grandparents. congratulations to chelsea and her husband, mark. the hard work really begins now for them as a couple. hillary clinton did speak to dr. sanjay gupta about all things baby. she goes into details about being a grandmother and what to expect. ♪ want to change the world? create things that help people. design safer cars. faster computers. smarter grids and smarter phones. think up new ways to produce energy. ♪ be an engineer. solve problems the world needs solved. what are you waiting for? changing the world is part of the job description.
