9:00 pm
though. >> i think she will. >> we will announce the top ten heroes on thursday on new day and cnn.com. that's it for us. thanks for joining us. cnn's coverage continues with remary church and errol barnett. good to be with you. >> i'm errol barnett, and we are your anchor team here for the next four hours. get comfortable. a big welcome to those of you watching in the u.s. and all around the world. coming up this hour, a live report in hong kong. a mass protest continues there for a fourth straight day. demonstrators are preparing for a police crackdown. plus isis fighters close in on a key city on the border with turkey. they say the u.s. air strikes
9:01 pm
aren't doing enough to stop the terror. and new details emerge about the man who jumped the fence at the white house. thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators are on the streets, and many fear a police crackdown may be imminent. >> there has been some violence with authorities using tear gas and pepper spray over the weekend. this is a rare occurrence in hong kong. you usually don't see tear gas being used. at least 56 people were injured. and 89 people arrested. >> but the protests have been otherwise peaceful, as demonstrators call for true democracy. and for beijing to give up its veto power over choosing hong kong's leader in 2017. the movement's chief organizer spoke with cnn. >> we don't want something fake.
9:02 pm
now beijing is going to give us something. but all the candidates will be accepted by beijing. we think it is unacceptable. >> let's check the mood on the streets of hong kong at this moment where it's just past midday. just past noon. andrew stevens joins us live. what initially started as a simple protest for these procedures for 2017, it appears to be growing into something much bigger. how are things now? how did things get so big? >> reporter: well, i think to trace the genesis of why this has gone beyond the expectations of both the organizers and the authorities here, you have to go back a little more than 24 hour where we did see a most rare sight, a most unusual sight, the use of tear gas and pepper spray
9:03 pm
on the protesters who were occupying an area quite close to where i am. that really shocked many here in hong kong. that the police would resort to these tactics in what was generally a peaceful protest. they were a small group of people trying to get into a building, and that was the police response. following that, a lot of people have come down to where i am, which is the key protest site to express solidarity now with the occupy hong kong movement. it's important to realize that occupy in the hong kong sense is not about a the economic story, it's about a political story. it's about getting the change of plans on how the next officials are to be chosen here. if you look behind me, you actually won't see too many people here at the moment, because it is the heat of the day, and how this protest is evolving is that people will come here towards the end of the afternoon and sit through the
9:04 pm
evening and then depart in the mid-morning, go home, have a sleep, and then come back again. those who are staying, obviously, they need a presence here to make sure authorities don't come in and actually sweep the area clean. but these numbers will swell, two to three, four times over the next few hours. now there are reports or suggestions that a crackdown is imminent. it seems like it may be going, the other way. the head saying that this movement is going to greatly affect the economy, not so much in the short term but in the longer term. but it suggests that they expect this will continue for a couple days at least. and it will have an impact on the economy. so an imnent crackdown doesn't seem likely at this stage. >> what you've done well there is describe the tension there between police who have riot gear, but the government noticeably pulled them back on
9:05 pm
monday after tear gas was used. and demonstrators described as some of the most polite that we see at these types of incidents, but as you say, a crackdown could happen at any moment. this is expected to go on for days, so what can we expect over the next few days. on wednesday, october 1, there's this holiday commemorating china's communist founding. a bigger face-off could take place. how are officials preparing? i know they've canceled their very popular fireworks show which happens every year. >> reporter: that's right. october the 1st is expected to bring a lot of people out. hong kong is no stranger to protests. there are regular protests here in hong kong, and they can reach big sizes, at half a million people in some cases, take to the streets of hong kong to protest. but what often happens is you get a whole diverse range of people coming forward to protest their own individual or small
9:06 pm
group grievances. this is unique in that there is a really specific focus here, which is on the democratic process. what will happen over the next few days, well, we are expecting to see a lot more people join the protest movement. this is the key position for pro fes testers. but this is one of three. another is in a shopping area. so we are expecting a lot more people tomorrow and maybe the next day. the key to this and to the longevity of this protest is how the protesters behave. the authorities are stressing again and again, it is a public safety issue. if the public safety is in danger, we will act. the chief executive saying so far apart from that one incidence of tear gas, the protesters have been very, very well behaved here and want to be
9:07 pm
as a constant cause of obeying the rules here, for a peaceful demonstration. while that continues, and while there is no reason for the police to act,'s likely to continue. this protest is likely to continue for some time to come. >> we're just seeing some footage, now, andrew of the size of the crowds over the weekend. it's just absolutely huge. and we'll continue to connect with you live here throughout the day as we watch to see what happens next. andrew stevens there live for us in hong kong, saying this is more of a political effort, a political movement and expression of young people's opinions there. meantime, beijing calls these protests illegal. and it is warning against any outside interference. take a listen to this. [ speaking in chinese ] >> hong kong is china's hong kong. >> translator: hong kong is purely our internal affair. >> we will have more on beijing's reaction in less than 30 minutes from now, in fact.
9:08 pm
we'll be joined by a former chinese government adviser. so stay tuned to cnn for that just a bit later. rosemary? and another story we are watching. the u.s. and its allies are intensifying its positions in syria and iraq, but is the campaign really dealing enough of a blow? >> and it really is the key question. so far, air strikes, it seems, have not prevented isis from reaching the doorstep of a key syrian city. you see it highlighted on the map for you. as barbara starr explains, militants could be close to seizing kobani. >> reporter: the latest isis video from syria claims to show a coalition air strike and isis firing at the jet from the ground. the video cannot independently be confirmed. when it comes to air strikes, the u.s. is not promising instant results. >> the campaign against isil will be a persistent and
9:09 pm
consistent campaign. and it's going to take time. >> reporter: this video showing another air strike, this time hitting an isis compound near kobani, a syrian city close to the turkish border where the latest isis move is desperately being fought. one the person tells us isis is coming. if they take the city, isis would have free reign from raqqah to the turkish border. pentagon officials tell cnn so far, the military does not have orders from president obama to protect the kurds in syria, so strikes are few for now, hitting only at isis targets the u.s. wants to destroy, while refugees are trying to escape by the thousands. from the defense secretary, a
9:10 pm
chilly warning about anticipating success. >> i also want to emphasize that no one is under any illusions, under any illusions that air strikes alone will destroy isil. they are one element of our broader comprehensive campaign against isil. >> reporter: there are other limitations to what air power can accomplish. >> air strikes don't work if you don't have good intelligence. we have long passed the idea of carpet bombing an area, of going after an area without having precision intelligence associated with the targets in that area. >> reporter: but the more than 60 coalition and u.s. air strikes in the area have had an impact in the areas where bombs have fallen according to a top military official. >> air power has been decisive in a couple key areas. preventing the mass, massing of forces on a large scale, degrading isil's command-and-control capabilities. and then working to impact
9:11 pm
isil's financing. >> reporter: military officials say u.s. fighter jets will continue to patrol the skies over syria, continuing to look for isis targets. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. let's look at those numbers and the targets. so far the u.s. and its allies have carried out at least 227 air strikes in iraq and almost 60 in syria. >> yeah. we've plotted the location of the targets for you on this map. take a close look there. the u.s. military says it's now looking into reports that strikes in the syrian city of manbij killed civilians. they were working at a grain storage facility held by isis. >> meanwhile, syria's deputy prime minister says that syria supports the air campaign against isis, but he slammed the efforts to arm, train and fund the so-called moderate syrian rebels, calling that a recipe for more violence. no surprise, of course, with
9:12 pm
that reaction. >> yeah, and you also have to consider what's happening in neighboring nations. jordan is part of the coalition battling isis in iraq and syria. but support for the militants is growing within its own borders. >> the black flag of isis already flies openly in the impoverished desert city of amman. we look at why this appeals so much to this community. >> reporter: for decades, the southern jordanian city of maan has been the site of security force confrontations. but there are scenes like this in recent months, while many downplay these demonstrations, the streets of maan tell a different story. pro-isis graffiti is spray a painted across the city. like this one that reads "al
9:13 pm
baghdadi is our prince." we are told the only solution to the troubles is the islamic state. others, too, say they want to see isis in jordan. >> translator: we home the muj yeah dean come here. most are against jordan joining the coalition against isis. >> translator: for almost four years our brothers in syria have been bombed. civilians and children killed. mosques destroyed. and we haven't seen the u.s., jordan's apostate military and the infidel armies move to support our brothers in syria, but when it came to the muj dean they mobilized. >> reporter: many here fear the threat from within will only increase now. maan's mayor says joining the coalition was not in jordan's
9:14 pm
interest. >> translator: the jihadi movement has been in jordan for years, not just in maan but also in other cities. if this movement in iraq or syria declares a war in jordan, they will not hesitate to carry out operations here. >> reporter: like many of the city's residents, he says the unrest stems from poverty, unemployment and years of marginalization from the government. he says unless the problems are seriously addressed there will be consequences. back on the streets of ma' an, they insist only an islamic state will bring them a better life, and that islamic state is now under attack. >> translator: people are attacked. they are under oppression, this man warns. for now it just might be threats, but for many, these

female announcer: recycle your old fridge and get $50. schedule your free pickup at: thanks for staying with us. police in australia are carrying out counter terrorism raids in
9:18 pm
several suburbs of melbourne. >> and what's interesting is that authorities say these raids are not a response to a threat to the public. what's going on? reuters has reported that one man has been charged with providing $10,000 to a terrorist organization so a u.s. citizen could travel to syria. the authorities were acting on information provided by american authorities. earlier this month, australia's security agency raised its threat level to high for the first time. back in the united states, the washington post is reporting that the u.s. secret service mishandled a shooting at the white house back in 2011. >> the report follows reservations about security when an intruder jumped a fence and got deep inside the white house. that shocks everybody. we have more on the embattled agency to protect the president. >> reporter: a white house fence jumper ran around the main floor of the white house.
9:19 pm
according to the jason chaffetz. the man was carrying a knife and in the east room of the white house when he was finally taken down. until now, the secret service claims the man had been captured right after entering the front door. contacted by cnn, the secret service would not comment, citing an ongoing investigation. this comes on the heels of an earlier report from the washington post claiming the white house came under attack in november 2011. seven bullets hit the white house, one smashing a window just a few feet from the first family's living room, the first lady, president and daughter malia were not at home. but sasha and the first lady's mother were inside. what if they had been on the balcony? >> had they been on the balcony, it would have been a very dangerous situation and would have put them in harm's way.
9:20 pm
>> reporter: the shooter, oscar ortega hernandez sped off and crashed his car. he was arrested later in pennsylvania. secret service supervisors told officers to stand down. claiming no shots fired. and it wasn't until the cleaning staff discovered the damage later. >> the agents i talk to say it's a miracle there has not been an assassination so far. >> reporter: the secret service is pushing back hard, telling cnn they did not bungle the response or investigation. they were told to stand down immediately afterward because of the confusion of the moment. witnesses had reported people from two cars had fired at each other. as for not finding the bullets for four days -- >> while the bullet pierced the historical glass, it didn't go through the protective coating of the white house.
9:21 pm
so when you're examining the white house from the inside windows, there were no breaks in that protective glass. >> reporter: the post reports first lady michelle obama was quote furious. an official who was there at the time of the incident says the first family was concerned with the incident and not happy with the response but not furious. the first family has confidence in the secret service to do its job. brian todd, cnn, washington. we've got more stories to bring to you this hour. toxic fumes are keeping search teams away from the scene of a deadly volcanic eruption in japan. to make matters worse, another eruption could happen at any moment. we'll take a look at when conditions could improve after this break. r roasted turkey -- always raised without antibiotics, the zesty cranberry mostarda, the freshly baked flatbread...

welcome back everyone. israel's prime minister is warning the u.n. to remember the threat posed by iran as they tackle isis. >> he praised efforts to defeat the terror group, but he said he wants world leaders to keep in mind, isis and hamas have a common goal. take a listen. >> the same countries that now support confronting isis oppose israel for confronting hamas. they evidently don't understand
9:24 pm
that isis and hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. militant islam is on the march. it's not militants. it's not islam. it's militant islam. and typically, its first victims are other muslims. but it spares no one. >> now in his address to delegates last week, palestinian president abumahmoud abbas call them a failure. >> you can try to say whatever you want, but when you kill 2,200 civilians, a majority of them are children and women.
9:25 pm
and you're injuring 11,000 civilians, the majority of them, the majority of them are children and woman, these are fact that speaks for themselves. >> mr. netanyahu has consistently put the blame for palestinian deaths on hamas for firing rockets into israel. >> now there's still quite a lot happening at the u.n. g.a., a representative from afghanistan's new government will address the u.n. tuesday. the country's new president afghani was sworn in. one of his leaders will sign a long agreement on troops. >> it sets out a timetable for withdrawing troops over the next few years. you might recall former president karzai refused to sign
9:26 pm
it, straining relations with washington and other allies. there are currently more than 28,000 u.s. troops destroyed in afghanistan. under that deal, it will be scaled back to about 9800 by the start of next year. by 2017 there will only be a few u.s. troops still in the country. let's get you some new information out of japan. it's still too dangerous for crews to go back on top of mt. ontake. 24 people are still on the mountain because toxic fumes have basically suspended recovery efforts. you see how challenging this all is. >> and we want to turn to our meteorologist who's been following this. >> plenty of challenges in store. and you have to keep in mind, the eruption occurred on the first weekend of the autumn season. we're talking about the second
9:27 pm
highest volcano in japan, sitting about 3,000 plus meters high. for the next several days to weeks, these altitudes are going to get very cold very fast. if you follow this and take it all across portioning of the western hemisphere and bring it to the united states, you're talking about the sierra nevadas. that's quite high altitude. and the weather's going to get very cold and rough in the next couple weeks as we head deeper into the autumn season. we're still tracking tropical activity. wet weather is a concern. the next couple days, a very dangerous storm poised to become a typhoon. and the tracks of this point for later this week on into the weekend. one wants to take it into southern japan. one wants to me ander it off the
9:28 pm
shores. and it's a major concern, because the track does strengthen it to a category 4 gift as it approaches japan thursday, friday, and potentially with a landfall late this weekend into next week. all of this has to be kept in mind. so i want to share with you some before and after images from near the summit here of and you ta ta take ontake. we're talking about 30,000 kilometers up. and you take a look and can you see the smoke plumes on satellite imagery. even ash covering the ground is seen from space with a darker indication here over the last several days, and 4 is a major
9:29 pm
concern. there are a lot of people talking about why was no warning given. the japan meteorological agency said they did send messages out on the 11th of the month saying there has been some increased activity, but the message was only for the local communities surrounding ontake. >> when you consider people are going hiking on this mountain, you would have to follow through with some warning like that and make sure it goes a little further, because the outcome here has been just shocking. >> it has. 1979 was the last time it was one this major. 1991 was the last time anyone died in japan because of a volcano. they have 100 of these in japan. a short break now. but still ahead, it is a tense waiting game in hong kong. will protesters heed a call to leave the downtown area or stay and face possible police action? that is next. >> also coming up.

layer after layer of fences separate a tiny section of spain from north africa. why this could be the most dangerous border in europe.
9:31 pm
9:32 pm
9:33 pm
welcome back to cnn, everyone. glad you are still with us. i'm errol barnett. >> and i'm rosemary church. >> we want to take you to hong kong, telling protesters to clear the streets, calling it a safety issue. it's just past noon in hong kong. they say protesters are block access to emergency vehicles that may need to pass through.
9:34 pm
but so far no repeat of the violent encounters with police. >> the tear gas fired by police seemed to shock just about everyone. there are demonstrations in hong kong, but not like this. and it's the protesters wanting autonomy after britain returned it to china back in 1997. we do want to focus on what china may do next. and for that, robert lawrence kuhn joins us from pasadena, california. we know these protests are into their fourth straight day now. and apart from violence over the weekend, these have been protests of peaceful defiance for the most part. but what happens in the next two days when there is a public
9:35 pm
holiday in hong kong and people won't be at work. instead, they will be out on the streets in hundreds of thousands. how likely is it that this could perhaps trigger a violent crackdown by china? >> first of all, china's leadership is very sophisticated and very committed to reform, modernization. and for all that, stability is essential, especially with the mainland. the issue with hong kong is the one country, two systems. and but what we have now is some serious protests against the not just universal suffrage, but the ability of beijing to select a candidate pool from which you vote. so it's not a true democracy. that's the protest. the hong kong community is a very business-oriented community. it's not so political.
9:36 pm
there are people who are political, obviously we see that. but the vast majority of the business people want stability. they want the hong kong to be the gateway to china and hong kong to be successful. i don't see anything where china would have to have a crackdown. xi jinping is very committed to governance. a book was published called xi jinping, the governance of china. it will be released in eight languages for the international community. 500 pages about his consent of governance. so it's a sophisticated approach china would have. but it is true to say that china will take whatever it takes to maintain stability, because that will bring, in their opinion, the greatest good to the greatest many. >> it will. and we're talking about very young people out on the street
9:37 pm
here. we're talking about students. and the fear here is that china's president, xi jinping, may lose face if this push for democracy spreads beyond hong kong into mainland china. what's the likely scenario if that happens? >> well, i don't think that will happen because china will do whatever it takes to prevent that. it will do the least interventions possible. it would like to make no interventions and allow the hong kong leadership to do everything in their control. but they will not allow, in my opinion, this type of demonstrations to occur anywhere in china. you see a censorship of social media regarding anything having to do with protests. you can criticize the central leadership and even personally. but you talk about getting a crowd together in any area, and
9:38 pm
that will be censored. china will do whatever it takes to prevent it. i don't think anybody foresees that it will require that type of intervention by china. >> but less than 24 hours ago, the riot liye yot police were p back. how likely do you think it is that we will see them on the streets of hong kong trying to control these protests. hundreds of thousands of people are out there, wall to wall people. there's going to be more of them once there's a public holiday. there won't be a lot of tolerance on this on the part of china, will there? >> i think that is extremely unlikely to see members of the people's liberation army from china intervening in hong kong. i think the hong kong authorities have many resources at their command that they will institute as little as possible to let this disburse.
9:39 pm
again, i think the image of the protests is a very serious one. china takes it very seriously, but there's a big underswell in hong kong that's really focused on business and keeping the relationship strong. but in no way will china allow this type of thing to approach the mainland. that's what we can be sure of. but the likelihood of them having to intervene with their own military forces which some speculate about is highly unlikely. >> and we will be watching very closely to see if that is the case. thank you for joining us. we do appreciate it. let's get our viewers to the middle east now and the ongoing fight against isis. these militants have advanced on the syrian city of kobani, and that is causing a humanitarian crisis. the fastest flight of refugees in syria is taking place right now. the syrian observatory for human rights says more than 200,000
9:40 pm
syrian kurds are displaced. most are seeking safety along the turkish board and they desperately need aid. we are told about the dangers they are escaping. >> reporter: you could see isis fighters actually moving around on the syrian side, with complete impunity. we saw mortars landing on the town of kobani itself. reports of at least three civilians wounded. unclear at this stage what kind of casualties were caused by that. but most certainly, the pop haitian there calling for the coalition to do even more. because isis at this stage does not seem to be significantly impacted by these coalition air strikes. >> now some of those refugees can be found on what some call the most dangerous border in europe. fortress-like fences separate the tiny spanish territory of maleah from north africa, but as
9:41 pm
this report explains, both refugees and potential jihadists are still going through. >> reporter: the security perimeter, a triple layer of 6 meter barriers fencing off this enclave. but it's not enough. thousands make their way into melilla and onto europe's very doorstep. many end up here, originally built to house 400 refugees, it now holds more than 2,000. this man is a kurd on the border where many of his family members are still fighting to hold off an isis advance. [ speaking in foreign language ]
9:42 pm
he tells us there are more than 1,000 syrian refugees here. 150 from kobani alone. the spanish authorities say we'll need permission from madrid to enter the center, so he and some of the other refugees showed us these pictures, depicting, they say, the squalor inside. often, they tell us, there's nowhere to sleep. many say they've spent their last savings on buying a forged moroccan passport to get here. moroccans are allowed to enter to buy and trade. that ease of movement has been exploited for years by gangs smuggling people looking for a better life in europe. now the spanish authorities fear it's being exploited by would-be jihad
9:43 pm
jihadis. once here, the mainland is a ferry ride away. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: i asked him how much. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: and every day, they say 10 to 15 more syrians arrive, walking right past the spanish authorities. a back door into fortress europe. on the mud track running past the detention center, spanish army vehicles take up position. they won't tell us why, but tensions are high since the spanish authorities arrested a man suspected to be the leader of an isis cell in malilla last week.
9:44 pm
the latest on more than 20 arrested here on terror-related issues. they are worried that not all coming here are simply seeking refuge. for those trapped so far from home, it feels like once more they're in the crossfire between isis and the west. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: cnn, melilla, spain. there are new details about the policeman who was shot this past weekend in fergson, missouri we will have the latest from the tense small town in middle america. come on!

information about a shocking story out of oklahoma. >> the accused killer had a troubled history with police and seeming ties to militant islam. >> reporter: law enforcement officials tell cnn, alton nolen spent time watching beheadings online before he severed the head of one of his co-workers and repeatedly a stabbed another. he was only stopped after a co-worker shot him. just before that 911 call, he was told he was in trouble at work for disruptive behaviobeha trying to convert his co-workers to islam. i took out a knife and started attacking co-workers at random, killing a 54-year old grandmother. >> this man was not going to stop. >> reporter: he felt oppressed at work and upset about not getting a pay raise.
9:48 pm
investigators believe this was an isolated act of violence. they have found nothing to show he was in contact with extremist groups overseas. he shows a picture of a beheading and an image of osama bin laden and anti-american rants on his internet page. >> ease your way from a to z. he killed somebody, he did it deliberate l deliberately. premeditated it. >> reporter: over the weekend his family came to his defense. >> my son was raised up in a loving home. there's two sides to every story. and we're only hearing one. his family. our hearts bleed right now. because what they saying alton
9:49 pm
has done, i want to apologize to both families. because this is not alton. but i just, i'm praying. that justice will prevail, the whole story will come out. >> reporter: but this isn't the first time nolen has been in trouble with the law. in 2010, an oklahoma state trooper got in a scuffle with him after a traffic stop. after learning about the beheading, she made this chilling statement to cnn. >> if there had been any way to know the things that he is alleged to have done a couple days ago, i would have killed him when i had the opportunity. >> that was our pamela brown reporting. the suspect is expected to be formally charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon. the protests are not
9:50 pm
stopping in ferguson, missouri. this is a live look. the situation appears calm, but police are keeping an eye on those protesters. you can see them there lined up in front of police. >> now what triggered some of the emotions over the weekend, it was the shooting of a police officer. we have some new details on that. we're told it was in no way connected to the michael brown incident and the protests there. they say the officer pushed the suspect's gun away as it was pointed at his chest. the gun went offer, hitting the officer's left arm. he was treated at a hospital and released. sara sidner was there and brings this report to us a short time ago. >> reporter: tensions in ferguson boiling over again. several people arrested sunday as crowds gathered outside the police department, a community on edge.
9:51 pm
