12:01 am
they're not going so far as to say that publicly, john, out of respect for the growing number of family members who are gathering here, one of whom i spoke to just a short time ago, the son and girlfriend right near the summit right at the moment just before noon local ti time. he burst into tears, what it means, sudden cardiac arrest, what it means is they were found
12:02 am
with no pulse and not breathing. you can put together the pieces for the families, at least 30, possibly legally could not have happened at at worst time. it's a beautiful weekend and climbers are faking advantage of the autumn viewing that happened so you had a meet being of people that hasn't had a weekend that happened here taking photos taking a beautiful day when in a matter of seconds they heard a boom that sounded like thunder. they heard a huge plume of gas and ash and further people who were less than the summit were enveloped. they couldn't see. they struggled to find shelter in some of the mountain lodges that were nearby.
12:03 am
as rescuers were able to get up there, they found people after people in sudden cardiac arrest. what happened next is they'll be carried down to the base where doctors will examine and then they'll determine and officially announce whether these will be fatalities. >> we understand. clarify for us. is this still a rescue operation, can they fly to the scene. >> the plume is disrupting air travel. there have been pretty significant delays because of plume and flames moving away from it. i do see at least two helicopters in the air right now. we know rescue operations have been underway. there's been so much ash that it was difficult to get helicopters up. buy saw some of the others being air lifted out by helicopters. those that were able were guided down the mountain.
12:04 am
keep in mind, this is about a 3,000 meter peak. it's about three kilometers to get down. difficult trek in any condition, never mind if you're one of the people that were injured in this. >> do we have numbers on how many people have been hurt and what sort of injuries they've sustained? >> the numbers have been changing periodically throughout the day. as far as serious injuries, what we were hearing earlier with that, at least a dozen people had injuries that were described as very serious. about ten more described as moderate injuries. another 10 to 12 that had what were described as moderate injuries. we've gotten new numbers. the 30 people found essentially lifeless, that's brand new that we just confirmed within the last hour. it's the one number that people did not want to hear today but many feared because of the number of people who are still missing. >> will, thank you. will ripley there essentially on
12:05 am
the scene right now bringing us the very latest information. >> that volcanic ash so harmful for your lungs. 30 people missing. let's hope they get rescued. >> will rescued an eruption in 1979. back then 200 tons of ash came out of the volcano. >> wow. >> it gives you an idea what may be happening now. >> the eruption is raising concerns for residents surrounding the volcanos. there are fears the volcanic ash could interrupt air travel. derek van dam is standing by. this could cause bigger problems? >> that's correct. mt. ontake is 200 kilometers away from two international airports outside of tokyo. it's a major connector between america and asia.
12:06 am
we're monitoring the situation very closely. the volcano is active to say the least, but for meteorologists, we need to look at what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere with potential of this ash cloud being pushed in an east, northeasterly direction. the volcano has the chance to cause these effects. think of ash clouds as microscopic fragments of glass and rock. now this gets sucked into jets' engines, into combustion engines. it melts those fragments. that becomes a molten glass of sorts. eventually that cools and then it starts to so lidify on the turbine propellers. that actually will block the air flow eventually causing the he can begin to seize. that's why that's not good for the aviation industry. this is a web cam of the recent
12:07 am
activity of mt. ontake. vol can noll low gists and experts are paying close attention to what this mountain or volcano are doing next. you can he suh the steam making its way towards the top of this particular crater. this storm system or this volcano actually brought what was called a pyroclassic flow. it brought a strong cloud of hot rock, ash, and it moved at a flow of 100 miles per hour. it's extremely hot. 207 degrees within some of that cloud there. that's why you can see obviously that causes major concerns for anyone surrounding that area. that's all the updates we have from the world weather center for now. we'll send it back to zain for
12:08 am
the latest. >> will touched on this. he said it's a popular mountain for climbing. it's an easy mountain. a lot of people were there. >> that's right, john. also for religious pilgrimages. they do that in mt. ontake. >> thanks, eric. u.s. and coalition planes are hitting isis targets on a new front. u.s. military released new video showing an f-15 bombing an isis target near the city of kobani. >> they destroyed isis vehicles near irbile, saudi arabia, and the uae. isis fighters have swept through dozens of villages near kobani. >> arwa damon is in the area and shows us what's bng happening. here she is.
12:09 am
>> reporter: at one point the only position that the kurds had from entering the town of kobani was that. then we saw them using artillery and 60 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 the various hill tops have been filled 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 further into the distance. we can barely see them from where we are. those three villages, they are still under isis control.
12:10 am
they were coming under sporadic small arm, heavy machine gun and small arm 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. joining us from iraq's northern city of irbile, ben wedeman. is there any thought on whether this is a more target rich environment? >> reporter: it's more important
12:11 am
to keep in mind that the strategic depth of isis is in syria. their capitol is in the city of raqqa, north central syria and that would definitely be -- if you want to weaken the organization, you go to its heart, its capitol. here in northern iraq the advance of isis has definitely been halted. in some areas we've seen that the peshmerga, the kurdish fighters have been able to push isis back in various places. the situation around baghdad somewhat less clear where there have been advances by isis despite the fact that these airstrikes have been ongoing since the beginning of august. john? >> so, ben, while the kurds have welcomed the coalition airstrikes in iraq, not the same reaction from rebel groups in syria. >> reporter: yes. if you look at the various statements coming out of the
12:12 am
rebel groups, not isis or the nusra groups but others that were considered the moderate syrian groups, they're not happy. in some cases their forces have been hit. what we've seen is an uptick in the air campaign by the syrian regime, bashar al assad, on rebel positions particularly in southern syria, around damascus and towards the north towards aleppo. certainly it has given the impression to many syrian rebels that these u.s.-led airstrikes are simply helping the regime by relieving the pressure from isis from the nusra front so that they can pursue their enemies closer to home. so once again it underscores that this is a very complicated conflict the united states and its allies have jumped into. it's not altogether clear that
12:13 am
they'll be able to deal with the complicated repercussions of their actions. >> early day. long day to go yet. ben wedeman reporting live from irbile. let's look at the entry into the fight in iraq. joining me is cnn's karl pen hall at number 10 downing street. you had former prime minister ben prescott. they're saying the u.s. should stay out of this. is there a feeling on the ground there that the u.k. is once again being led by america? >> reporter: well, certainly john prescott's comments do reflect a little the british public sentiment given that john prescott and the government that he was part of led brittain into two wars in afghanistan and iraq and that has created war weariness among the public, something that the politicians are weary of. i'm not sure everyone would
12:14 am
share john prescott's analysis that isis is a regional religious scuffle. i think many people would see it much more complicated than this. certainly this war weariness is something that the british parliament and politicians seem to be aware of and that is why although they're overwhelmingly voting for action against isis on friday, they were somewhat timid in their measures because there are conditions attached. the first of those conditions, of course, is that british war planes will only participate on strikes against isis within iraq and not on isis positions in syria as the other provider, of course, is the number of war planes brittain is sending is very limited. six in number. that's the same number as georgia, belgium have contributed and one less than denmark. the united states is leading this coalition and leading the airstrikes on syria and on iraq
12:15 am
but brittain really doing no more than some of the other european partners there. >> yeah. you could really sort of feel the war weariness in the room during the vote -- in the house of commons just two days ago. is there a feeling on the ground there that perhaps david cameron should have tried to engage a bit more with young british muslims before conducting airstrikes in iraq? >> i've spent many days, zain, in parts of london talking to young british muslims and of course with this isis threat brittain is very conscious that it's a war of lords but a war where they feel the foreign fighters will return to brittain and cause problems here. we've heard statements over the past few weeks from prime minister cameron saying the mosques must do more and the community leaders must do more. now with the airstrikes, the muslim council of brittain, very
12:16 am
moderate group, has come out and says why weren't we consulted? how can we market this if you don't engage muslim leaders beforehand? that is filtering right down onto the streets because young british mugs limbs on the streets feel that they are under increasing scrutiny and just the very fact of praying at the local mosque or having a different color skin is once again putting them under scrutiny. many british muslims feel they are on the back foot having to defend their faith and their belief because of what isis is doing in syria and iraq. >> yeah. there's certainly a fear that these airstrikes can mean further radicalization in brittain. karl penhaul, thank you very much. we appreciate it. the u.s. is looking for more control in the attack in yemen. witnesses say men on motorcycles
12:17 am
had shoulder fired rockets near the diplomatic missions. u.s. authorities doubt the embassy was a target. now the group say the embassy was targeted. and police in the st. louis, missouri, area are looking for suspects in two separate incidents during which police officers were shot at. now the most recent happened when a gunman opened fire on an off duty police officer driving on the highway near the airport. that officer suffered only minor scratches. earlier a ferguson, missouri, officer was shot in the arm during a burglary. his injuries were not threatening. ferguson has been the scene of tension ever since an unarmed african-american teenager, michael brown, was shot by a police officer two months ago. they don't necessarily think that this particular incident tonight was related. take a listen. >> i don't think it is. it didn't happen within the
12:18 am
proximity of the protest area. this is an area that's fairly secluded and i wouldn't have any reason to believe right now that it was linked in any way, shape, manner or form with the protests. this certainly doesn't look that way. >> police say the officer managed to fire several shots at the suspect but there's no evidence that they were actually hit. this, of course, coming a couple of days after the ferguson police chief issued that apology. >> just shows you all these weeks now how that is so tense and so much on edge. we will take a short break here. when we come back, as aid workers struggle with the worst ebola outbreak on record, a senior american official is under quarantine. we'll have her story after the break.
12:20 am
welcome back, everyone. liberia's chief medical officer is under a three-week quarantine after her assistant died from ebola. >> so far no signs that the medical director is infected with the virus. the worst ebola outbreak on record. more than 6500 people have the disease across liberia, sierra leone and guinea. more than 3,000 have died. >> now as the death toll mounts there's also the grim task of dealing with the bodies. elizabeth cohen reports on the
12:21 am
delicate, dangerous and emotionally gripping process. take a look. >> reporter: this is the morning list of monrovia's dead. >> this must be difficult work. >> very difficult. very difficult. >> reporter: the liberian red cross dead body management team getting ready to retrieve bodies, bodies that could still be carrying the ebola virus. they are quite aware that it takes only one mistake to be contaminated. today they're retrieving ten bodies, first suiting up from foot to head. a supervisor making sure that every inch of skin is covered. this worker strapping on a chlorine sprayer to disinfect victims before they're handled, but even the best safety equipment can't protect their hearts from what they see on the job.
12:22 am
>> reporter: before collecting today's victims, a prayer for god's guidance, then winding through monrovia's poorest slum, they retrieve the first victim. her name was lisa kahne, she was 62. her family and neighbors are distraught as they remove her from her home. her family is lucky. they know someone at the ministry at health and she's allowed to have a burial. that can be time consuming so most victims are simply cream mated. we follow the dbmt on a 45 minute drive through rough roads to where she is being buried. her relatives say a final prayer. after this, nine more bodies to retrieve before their day is done. elizabeth cohen, monrovia, liberia. >> as elizabeth was saying, it takes only one mistake to catch
12:23 am
the disease. you have to be so careful. >> wow. time for a short break. when we come back, the united states is launching airstrikes on isis targets in syria. we'll go to washington to find out what their campaign is actually accomplishing. healthing is killing germs, and having more cleaning power than bleach without the harshness. it's being the #1 pediatrician recommended brand. and sharing healthy habits in 65,000 schools. lysol. start healthing. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that parker. well... did you know auctioneers make bad grocery store clerks? that'll be $23.50. now .75, 23.75, hold 'em. hey now do i hear 23.75?
12:24 am
24! hey 24 dollar, 24 and a quarter, quarter, now half, 24 and a half and .75! 25! now a quarter, hey 26 and a quarter, do you wanna pay now, you wanna do it, 25 and a quarter- -sold to the man in the khaki jacket! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. on saturday u.s. president barack obama attended the annual
12:25 am
congressional black caucus fund-raiser. >> he addressed critics saying the u.s. is not demonstrating strong leadership. >> some of our unfinished work lies beyond our borders. america's leading the effort to rally the world against russian aggression in ukraine. they're leading the effort to combat ebola. america is leading the coalition that will degrade and ultimately destroy isis. as americans we are leading and we don't shy away from these responsibilities, we welcome them. >> joining me now from washington is political analyst josh grogan. thanks for being with us at this hour. we appreciate it. president obama said the u.s. is leading us. does he know where it's leading us? >> right. there's definitely a gap between
12:26 am
destroying isis and the gap between the incremental increase between the forces in iraq and syria. the problem is that the administration has not really thought how does this end. on the one hand they say they want to see an end state against isis that resembles something like yemen or somalia. they have not destroyed al qaeda in those countries. there's a rhetoric and there's a policy. that policy is being developed as we speak. the obama administration is simply not at the point yet where they can figure out what do they do to achieve the goal that they've stated. that's a problem that's left a lot of people and those in the region scratching their head. >> like hemming way said, never confusion motions for action. >> yes. you know, the idea is you have to have momentum to build a coalition and you have to have a coalition to solve the problem. the problem is that the obama administration is so reactive in
12:27 am
dealing with the isis threat that they're actually building the coalition. now they're in the process of building the coalition after they've opted for strategies. they're doing that backwards. that causes a host of problems. they need to have some clarity. they need to have some confidence. a big problem is the problem of syria. while the president talks very clearly about what we need in iraq to make this work, we need an inclusive government, civil society, structures that will support the airstrikes on the ground, in syria we hear almost nothing from the obama administration about how we make this plan work for syria. >> sorry to interrupt, but syria is about the moderate rebels in a fighting force. general dempsey says it will take 15,000 troops to reclaim that territory. those troops will take years to train. what happens in the meantime? >> right. so the plans to arm the moderate
12:28 am
rebels, a, will take years to happen, b, will never be enough to actually combat isis on the ground and, c, does not really have the if you full support of the isis government. now he says that because he knows there needs to be a ground swell but it remains to see whether the government will commit. lastly, army moderate rebels, even if we can vet them and they use the weapons responsibly, we can't tell them not to fight the assad regime at the same time they fight isis. president obama and his administration, the syria problem is about isis but for the syrians the syria problem is about assad. that's a gap that no one's really explained. there's a huge disconnect in the syria part of the isis tragedy. we don't have a good answer. >> if this campaign goes on for
12:29 am
years and years and years, it will be a long haul, sooner rather than later won't the u.s. president have to get a congressional vote? >> well, actually, the president and the congress here in washington have both been come police sit in not pushing for a vote in congress for different reasons. the president doesn't want the vote because he doesn't want the added oversight. congress doesn't want this because it's a lose-lose proposition. we can envision a situation whereby the war against isis and iraq and syria can go on indefinitely with no congressional oversight or vote. congress gives them the money and gives them the authority to arm the rebels. as we saw in libya, congress has the complete ability to ignore its responsibilities. that's what we're looking to see that they're going to do this time around. that's not only harmful to the
12:30 am
president's credibility but it's harmful to the system of checks and balances that our congress has. that's a shame in washington but that's the reality. >> good to speak with you. you write some great stuff for the daily beast. i enjoy reading it. thank for being with us. >> any time. >> as josh was saying, president assad is going to take advantage of the airstrikes. he's going to keep hiding behind the curtain. how is the u.s. guarding against that? >> yes. congress obviously it will be a while. >> take a short break. when we come back, french war planes are bombing over iraq. many back home are asking why. they can't keep it to themselves. i'm switching for good wow! finish is seriously good can't believe how great it works love love love finish it's a shine that's sweeping across america. finish delivers an unbeatable clean and superior shine versus cascade's leading detergent.
12:31 am
12:33 am
welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm zain asher. >> i'm john vause. it's past 3:30 in the u.s. i can't believe you are up with us. >> more than 30 people have been found in a state of sudden cardiac arrest on an erupting volcano in japan. they're showing no signs of arrest but authorities aren't saying anything more about their conditions. mt. ontake erupted just before midday on saturday. the u.s. military says coalition airplanes hit targets near the border with turkey. these are the first airstrikes in the area. they have been battling isis militants for days trying to save the city of kobani. police in ferguson, missouri, are searching for a man who shot a police officer on routine patrol. the officer's injuries are not
12:34 am
life threatening. in a separate incident a st. louis officer was shot on the interstate. he was shot at but not hit. right now we're going to return to our top story. the u.s.-led airstrikes against isis sent jets in the air. pilots are having a problem with something significant during their mission. our max foster joins us live from abu dhabi. max, one of the issues with these coalition war planes is that they have a lot of air power in the air, the coalition does, but not enough targets to strike. >> reporter: well, there's a reference here to the british royal air force that started going over iraq yesterday. they said they did see isis targets, they would be ready to act. they returned from that having taken out no targets. they have been on reconnaissance missions over iraq since mid august. so a lot of people wondering why they couldn't identify isis
12:35 am
targets. we don't have enough information from the royal air force to explain why it didn't take out any targets. there are so many questions now around the u.k. involvement. just typical of some of the -- some questions around the coalition. for example, a former leader of the fas, special forces in the u.k. richard williams is writing in a british newspaper that these planes are providing us and our leaders desperate to do something to be involved. inevitably in six months time not be followed with the war down and reality that things aren't going as they wish them to. that there's concern amongst military in various parts of the coalition that this just hasn't been well thought through. you can't take out isis without ground troops and there's no strategy on the ground operation in iraq or syria. so there's a sense already that this could fail before it's even started although it's a bit early to say that because airstrikes at the start of the
12:36 am
campaign many people are saying are the right solution. it's what happens after that, zain. >> yeah. military sugar rush as you mention. so much in terms of air power but not enough targets. are these airstrikes as effective as one might imagine? i mean, there's been airstrikes near kobani, near the turkish/syria border but it hasn't done anything to stop the skirmishes. what about that? >> reporter: there's a concern obviously about civilian casualties here and airstrikes when you have a convoy of isis vehicles, that's one thing. add to the scenario where there are civilians, there is apprehension about getting involved. the prime minister, the leader of dubai has written a piece with his view on all of this. they're obviously involved in the coalitions and they're saying actually the military is only a partial solution. much more concerned about the very long term solution, which
12:37 am
is this ideology of isis which he says is the big threat over the next ten years. and he describes how you've got to think how al qaeda was in afghanistan with the ideology managed to cause a ground swell of concern around the world and impacted the world. isis are doing this with all of the technology at their hands. it's also got this land mass that it's managing to operate from. it's far more of a threat. so he's saying we really need to be considering what we should do to tackle the ideology. he's pointing to the radicalization programs in saudi arabia as a solution to this. so i think the whole thing needs to be thought through a whole lot more if you listen to somebody in this region at least. >> a lot of people saying the solution is not just military but political as well, especially in terms of iraq having a government that's more inclusive of the sunnis. live in abu dhabi. we appreciate it. today france has been
12:38 am
carrying out airstrikes on iraq. it's a hajds on approach coming from paris. as the battle rages on, parts of the france is on alert. we have a report from athens. >> reporter: on the streets of paris, more soldiers, more police, and more worry. >> yes. yeah. we are all scared. i mean, it's becoming really, really, really harder, even just traveling or anything or moving to go out or anything. >> reporter: it's been years since the threat level has been so high in paris. a price to pay, someone said, for leadership. not our fight, others would argue. >> i think we need to stay home and don't be the king of world and for america and be very, very careful. >> reporter: clearly french political leaders see it differently as they took an approach that has been applauded on both sides of the atlantic and both sides of the political
12:39 am
aisle at home. for political and domestic reasons france can't ignore the fight. some of the people have joined the fight and they could return. the fear, they'll plot acts of terrorism in europe. internationally the french have felt compelled to act because it defines them. >> the french are convinced that their international identity is a key to their national identity. the way they are perceived, the way they act in the world is very important for their self-esteem. >> reporter: it's not the first time recently that french leaders have taken such a forward leaning position. just three years ago president sarkozy ordered the french military to overthrow libya's moammar gadhafi. then president hollande mustered
12:40 am
support trying to overthrow syria's president, bashar al assad. and then he sent people to mali for the al qaeda linked terrorists. their activism has been appreciated by her neighbors and her citizens, some of whom are beginning to complain for the price tag of the foreign intervention, a price tag which grew this past week with the assassination of a french hiker in algeria apparently culled because of the battle in fundamentalism in iraq. for many it brought home france's role. it indicates two out of three french would accept. >> this is a war which concerns france. france feels responsible for the order in the world. and this is a force of airstrikes. >> many things to jim bid did he
12:41 am
man for that report. it felt like the beheading raised a steak for france. it makes the stakes so much higher. >> that group wasn't affiliated with isis. >> copy cat. >> inspired by it. coming up after the break, what a u.s. police officer is now saying about the man accused of beheading a woman in an oklahoma industrial park. that's coming up after this break. we call it healthing. healthing is killing germs, and having more cleaning power than bleach without the harshness. it's being the #1 pediatrician recommended brand. and sharing healthy habits in 65,000 schools. lysol. start healthing.
12:44 am
accused of beheading a 54-year-old co-worker. he's expected to be transferred to jail by early next week. they're looking at his online writings as they investigate this rampage. >> police have released some details about the suspect in this week's beheading in moore, oklahoma, but we're beginning to learn more about him from his facebook page. police say this is the facebook page of the man suspected of beledding a co-worker in moore, oklahoma. the images and messages on the page of al ton nolan, he writes about judgment day and criticizes united states and israel. some are more disturbing than others. it was on thursday that police say nolan brought four to his workplace. he was fired that day only to
12:45 am
return shortly afterwards with a knife. >> he encountered the first victim and began assaulting her with a knife. he did kill colleen and did sever her head. >> according to police, the suspect then began assaulting a second woman. mark bond, son of the company's founder, is also a reserve sheriff's deputy. officials say it was his actions that prevented more deaths. >> it could have gotten a lot worse. this guy wasn't going to stop. >> the bar bake nature of the crime has led some residents and others to speculate the act could have been sparked by something larger. adding to the theory, police say in recent weeks nolan had tried to convert his co-workers to islam. in a statement to cnn, they ordered not to jump to conclusions. the fbi is assisting local police.
12:46 am
>> nolan has a lengthy criminal history according to the oklahoma department of corrections including briefly leading police on a man hunt. the state trooper who had a physical altercation with knoll plan four years ago, she said after she heard what he did, she wished she had killed him when she had the chance. >> that's gruesome. >> yeah. still to come here on cnn, we are getting closer to today's big finale in golf's ryder cup as team u.s.a. has a lot more work ahead. the world's most eligible bachelor is married. we'll be joined live from venice on george clooney's fairy tale wedding. not being able to get up from a fall can have serious, lifetime consequences. being prepared is important. philips lifeline with autoalert is more than just a medical alert button. it's an advanced fall detection system designed to get you help quickly.
