1:01 am
i'm george howell. we start the show with the murder of a worker that wanted to help people. this time a british hostage. he is the fourth western captive beheaded by isis since august. and the group did so as they did in the previous killings, they released images of his murder. he is clearly under duress and then beheaded. britain's prime minister is reacting to henning's killing. kelly mornigan joins us with th latest from there. kelly? >> yes, good morning. the prime minister david cameron learned of allen henning's murder during a trip to afghanistan yesterday. he was there to meet the new president and also british troops. now he's understood to have returned to london last night and is in briefings with senior ministers and advisors from the intelligence agencies, foreign
1:02 am
officials and the military. and we are expecting a statement at some stage today. but last night when he learned of mr. henning's murder, he described it as a brutal murder which really showed how barbaric and repulsive isis has become killing a father two of, 47-year-old father of two, taxi driver who had volunteered to take a convoy of muslim aide work nears syria. i just read briefly from part of that statement. he said, "the fact he was taken hostage when trying to help others and now murdered demonstrates that there are no limits to the depref ti of these i isis terrorists. we'll do all we can to hunt down these murders and bring them to justice." now mr. cameron went to afghanistan. he had already been here. he was in cyprus where he visited the bases which is where the british air strikes are being launched from into iraq. now, of course that, decision to join the coalition attack on isis targets in iraq was made in
1:03 am
parliament last friday and was referenced in this latest beheading video as the reason as to why mr. henning has been killed. now mr. henning isn't the only british hostage that has been killed by isis in the recent months. he is the second. naz oth as in other videos, another man was paraded by the isis man that bee he beheaded him. he was an american man and his name is peter kesing. there are huge concerns now about his safety. now as far as what the government does about this, it makes reference to trying to bring justice for these b beheadings. the government cannot be seen changing, altering policy because of these barbaric acts. >> kelly morgan, thank you so much for the reaction from london.
1:04 am
certainly we know people there on the streets are upset by seeing this video. we appreciate your reporting. now let's go to our other guest joining us from london, will gettis. good day you to, mr. gettis. the question that many people are asking, these videos are released time after time. what it is that isis think it stands to gain in releasing these videos. >> well, there are two different types of videos, george. there are the beheading videos which is evidently a very clear one way message that isis are trying to communicate. and we can speculate it's the case of there become no kind of dialogue or negotiation in effect to be able to manage or to try and coordinate the release of the hostages being beheaded. then you have the second video. if you like the video blog being released where they're trying to communicate and validate what isis are actually doing.
1:05 am
ultimately in term of trying to validate or trying to prove out that they have a good purpose or reason for what they're doing, just simply is undermind by these horrific videos. >> do any of these hostage, do they stand a chance? or is my belief that they don't have a chance to live? >> we know of certainly a release of a large number of hostages that were turkish nationals. so they're using these particular individuals on these very publicly promoted videos.
1:06 am
to put out the message of president obama and david cameron and other members of the coalition to instigate a groundswell or to appeal to the respective governments to say, you know, are these air strikes going to be successful? >> and, will, just as you've been watching and following the story and air strikes have certainly been continuing over the past few weeks, what impact would you say the air strikes have had if any on isis from your perspective? >> i think it really comes down to what they're being fundmentally being used for. there is the reconnaissance and surveillance exercises to determine where the isis positions are. the second, obviously, object sieve to thin them out and pen them into specific areas where they can then direct more precise military action which could either be done locally or even involve possibly foreign special forces. the success of these operations
1:07 am
i think is variable at the moment. but as these strikes continue, no doubt the enemy will adapt as they possibly can to try to thin out their positions ultimately or take a lot of their strong positions into areas like raka where it's going to be very difficult to strike without creating a large innocent civilian casualty count. >> will gettis joining us now. will, we appreciate your insight in this situation. prosecutors in the state of texas are investigating whether a liberian man knowingly exposed the u.s. public to ebola. they say if thomas duncan knew that he was infected when he traveled from liberia he could face criminal charges. duncan is the first person to be diagnosed with the die us have on american soil. he's currently isolated in serious condition at a dallas hospital. duncan's family rejects any allegations by the liberian government that he lied about his exposure.
1:08 am
listen. >> unfortunately for liberia, there are so many ignorant government officials over there and they do not do any kind of legitimate background checks or do any kind of investigation, thorough investigation. and any time they see a camera, they jump in front of it and make a statement. most of them are ignore anlt their whole lives. i'll tell you this much, eric, when he told me, i heard it from his mouth himself. even though he was struggling and in pain, he told me he wasn't even in the area. and that's what i believe. i don't know who that gentleman is, but the lies that they're spreading, they need to stop. this man is fighting for his life. there is no reason to be smaterring his name over something he didn't do. >> on friday, the four people quarantined in the apartment duncan were staying were relocated to a private home at an undisclosed location in the
1:09 am
area. they launched a three phase operation at the apartment and state authorities are monitoring more than 50 people who came in contact with duncan. meanwhile, the american journalist is being flown to the u.s. from liberia sunday. he just been hired as a freelance camera man by nbc news when diagnosed with the virus. his father says he remembers getting fluid on his face while disinfecting a chair in a clinic where he was filming. while the united states takes on more ebola patients, health authorities are under fire for how long it took them to diagnose and isolate duncan. cnn's dr. sanjay gupta looks at what officials are doing well and what they're doing wrong. >> what has happened over this past week is certainly been historic from a medical standpoint. the first patient ever diagnosed with the ebola in the united states. even more than that, the first patient diagnosed with ebola anywhere outside of africa. and in many way there's is
1:10 am
historic. it has obviously concerns. but it was not unexpected in so many ways as well. the idea that someone could get on a plane who had been exposed to ebola but not yet sick and fly around the world before becoming sick is something we're worried about and concerned about for some time. now it happened. this was a test in so many ways for the united states and specifically the city of dallas. a couple of observations. first of all, the big things in terms of the united states being able to take care of a patient like this. there were many things that did seem to work well. mr. duncan, he's 42 years old. he was in critical condition. we now know he's in serious but stable condition. does he seem to be improving. also, the family and friends, many of them have been identified. a few of them have been quaranti quarantined. they are being monitored. they are being checked to see if they develop any signs or symptoms of ebola. because if they do, they will go to the hospital as well. that is exactly what is supposed to happen.
1:11 am
those are some of the true and tried principles of stopping an outbreak. but one can't help but notice that there were a few missteps as well and the term the devil is in the details sort of comes to mind. this idea that mr. duncan went to the hospital initially, was even identified as being a patient who recently returned from liberia, that was written down in a chart. yet somehow that information was not acted upon. he was not further investigated based on that information. and subsequently, he was discharged from the hospital for two days, gone and possibly interacting with more people. that was a concern. and now a concern that i'm sure no one possibly predicted but it has to do with just the waste inside his apartment where he stayed after he became sick but before he went to the hospital. i had a chance to ask dr. frieden, the head of the cents s for disease control. >> what do do you with the waste? that's been an issue that we've
1:12 am
been working intensively with the department of transportation which regulates the movement of potentially infectious waste. >> so just to reiterate, you can do all the big things well, but in this case, they didn't have permitting to actually transport some of the hazardous waste from the apartment in this case to a place where it could be disposed of and incinerated. these are the details that are going to matter and public health departments all over the country are starting to think about. one thing has become clear. just about anybody who's been following the story for months like we have and that is what happened in dallas is likely to happen again. there are patient who's are probably flying on airplane who's may have been exposed to ebola and may end up in the united states. so this story is going to repeat itself. let's just hope the lessons we learned this time around can be applied and be more helpful for the next time. now a look at west africa. where the outbreak originated, there are 3400 confirmed or
1:13 am
suspected deaths due to ebola. and now more than 7,000 cases of the virus reported. that's according to the latest figures from the world health organization. the vast majority are in liberia where 2,000 have already died as well as begin yi and sierra leone. a handful of cases are reported in senegal and nigeria. this deadly communicable disease is also a concern as thousands converge on mecca. later in the show, we'll hear from the faithful muslim who's embark on the hajj. plus, we go live to hong kong to check out the latest pro-democracy protests there. and tens of millions of customers at one of the largest banks in the u.s. have been hacked. officials are coming clean about who and what was compromised. those stories straight ahead here on cnn.
1:15 am
1:16 am
>> george, just within the last hour the hong kong federation of students announced they'll be holding a big rally in admiral ti here, four hours from now. and so you can expect to see these streets as they have in previous nights fill up almost standing room only. a lot of the times speakers have been standing in that area right there, a make shift stage that they've set up with loud speakers to address the crowd. and the energy level in the evening is when things really start picking up in this area. for the most part, this area has been peaceful. late last night, we did see a clash happen here between the hong kong police and protesters. the police sent dozens of officers to try to push through a barricade which they did succeed in doing. they were just trying to deliver food, water and other supplies to police officers who are camped out in government buildings that line this area here. the protesters didn't want to let them through. they were afraid that officers were going to try to supply, you know, things like tear gas,
1:17 am
batons, shields, items that a lot of the protesters here are afraid may be used against them as it was, as we saw happen on sunday night here, george, when there was a real outrage in this city when the police tear gassed protesters who were trying to move towards a barricade but were otherwise unarmed and peaceful. >> will, as goes with many of the big protests and then counter protests, there are allegation that's the antioch pied protesters have gang connections and may have even been hired to try to intimidate the students. what are you hearing the latest from police there? >> we saw a working class, rough part of hong kong where we've seen real incidents of violence take place. some people were alleging they were assaulted. there were thousands of antioch pied protesters essentially surrounding a group of hundreds of student protesters just like the ones that you see here on this street behind me. there was the accusation that perhaps these were hired thugs
1:18 am
brought in to try to intimidate and they were also accusation that's a lot of the protesters had gang connections. hong kong police are telling us that of the 20 or so people they arrested, eight of them have confirmed ties to hong kong criminal gangs. there is a segment of the population here who believe that it's time for all of this to come to an end. these streets, a main artery leading to the central business district, have been closed off for more than a week now. businesses lining these areas are closed. there are financial hardship for a lot of people as a result of this, and there is a growing number of people in this city, working people who say enough is enough. it's time to move on. but these protesters say they're not going to do that until they get some sort of concession from the hong kong city government. they want the leader who you see in that very, very graphic sign up there, they want him to resign. that is not going to happen. they also want beijing to change the decision to allow true democracy here and not candidates that are hand picked by the communist party. all indications are, george,
1:19 am
that's not going to happen either. we also have to wait and see what is going to happen and how all of these, many of thousands of people will be dispersed if the city does decide to do that. >> a lot of eyes around the world on hong kong and pressure on officials there. one of the most important port cities in the world, will rippley, we appreciate your reporting there in hong kong. south korean officials got a surprise visit today from several high level delegates from north korea. the head of north korea's military and two ranking members of the workers party dropped in on the closing ceremonies of the asian games. that was followed by brief meetings with south korean officials. the delegation from pyongyang got the red treatment and the visit caused quite the media frenzy. indian authorities fear the death toll the rise after at least 32 people were killed in a stampede during a massive hindu festival. up to 50,000 people gathered to celebrate. police are investigating what
1:20 am
caused that stampede. some witnesses say rumors of a live power cable hitting the ground may have caused the panic. a fierce storm moving towards japan has just been upgraded to a super typhoon. meteorologist joins us in the international weather center for what is in store for japan. >> that's right. in order for a typhoon to get that dubious classification of a super sigh foon, it has to have winds of 240 kilometers per hour. that is 150 miles per hour for our u.s. viewers. let's break it down. this is the latest satellite loop. it is quite a beautiful storm coming from a meteorologist perspective. perfectly circular eyewall. this is where we find the winds. there is sustained winds, 220 at the moment. still an equivalent to a strong category 4 teetering on a
1:21 am
category 5. timing is everything with this particular storm. we do have the path that is going to take ate long the east coast of the japanese islands. and with timing being everything, it's all about the trough that is dropping south out of north china and korea. it is going to push it further east or is it going to allow the storm to make its progression further to the west? that is the big question. but one thing is for sure, we're already starting to see the rain bands on the japanese radar. this is from the japan meteorological agency. okinawa, this is the radar. and that's indicating some of the rain bands starting to impact that region. i believe okinawa and the surrounding islands are in the clear at least from the major part of the storm. but as this continues to move closer to the east coast of japan, the counter clockwise rotation around this system is going to just draw in all kinds of moisture from the pacific and because this is a very mountainous region, we're
1:22 am
expecting upwards of 200 millimeters of rain before the storm is all said and done. if you recall, last weekend we had a volcanic eruption about 200 kilometers to the west of tokyo. that resulted in 40 millimeters of volcanic ash on the ground. you couple that with heavy rainfall and you have the possibility of mudslides. we have lots of events taking place this weekend. namely, the japanese grand prix on sunday afternoon 3:00 p.m. local time. no doubt the storm will impact the event. but we're expecting the event can get off before the really rough weather starts to settle n notice by 3:00 p.m., wind will be about 40 kilometers but conditions will deteriorate very, very quickly as this storm eventually brushes the prefectures. tokyo, you're in the path of. this you'll feel typhoon strength wind. by the way, there is another storm in its path that will be a concern for next week.
1:23 am
george, back to you. >> derrick, from your perspective, has it been a particularly busy season there, especially right there with japan? >> with storms lining up one after the other, it has been extremely busy. still to come here on cnn, the united states just had its best job report in six years. we'll take you inside those numbers. plus, a big u.s. bank says millions of accounts have been hacked this summer. what you need to look for next as cnn continues.

welcome back. so here's a number for you, 5.9%. this is the lowest unemployment rate for u.s. jobs report in six years. and it's the strongest indicator yet that the u.s. economy is getting back on track. cnn's senior business correspondent christine romans breaks down that number. >> a strong jobs report in september, the economy adding 248,000 net new jobs. bringing us back to this level we've seen in the summer of 200,000 plus. you want to see that continue. even more exciting, an unemployment rate that fell below 6%. we haven't seen this since 2008, jew july 2008. when you look at the recovery, you can see this trend has been slowly building. jobless rate in 200249 that hit 10%, what is the job growth look like? this is what is so important.
1:27 am
what is the trend? is it consistent? when you look at every month this year, on average, 226,000 jobs created that, is the strongest monthly performance that we've seen in recent memory going back to before the recession. christine romans, cnn, new york. one of the biggest banks in the united states, j.p. morgan, admits hackers stole information from more than 80 million account holders this summer. cnn money's reporter looked into what happened. >> reporter: it's always unsettling to hear your personal information was hacked into, stolen, but what makes this even worse than usual is the here is size of it. more than 80 million people are affected. it's a cyber attack that we first learned about in august. seven big banks were hit. this week we're getting new details, specifically about what happened to j.p. morgan customers. names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, even other internal information about customers were stolen and what is turning out to be a massive
1:28 am
hack. 76 million households have been hit. and seven million small businesses. the good news, hackers didn't get account information like user ids, birthdays, and most importantly, social security and bank account numbers. also j.p. morgan chase says it hasn't seen any unusual fraudulent activity related to this. but it's also good to keep an eye on your account if there is something suspicious that you spot, call the bank right away. but remember, you're not libel for it. last august when word of the hack broke, j.p. morgan said big companies like this unfortunately experience sib area tacks every day. but this week the bank is assuring people that they monitor accounts closely and money is safe. even though no financial information was stolen, people should ab ware of the risks. hackers can still sell the stolen e-mail addresses to spamers who could hit people with fishing campaigns to try to get more information out of you. no word on who the hackers are.
1:29 am
the news continues here on cnn. still ahead, the media is finding it difficult to get access, public records related to the shooting in ferguson, missouri. what they're doing about it. and we have the story of a family reunited after this young man was kidnapped by isis. hear a surprising perspective on that mill tanlt groitant group . ♪ ♪
1:30 am
1:31 am
1:32 am
operation inside that apartment is now under way. the family had been in contact with thomas eric duncan, the first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states. the pro-democracy protests in hong kong are now in their second week. but not everyone supports that cause. people opposed to the protests are hitting the streets as well. pro-democracy activist as kccus the police of standing by and letting opposition groups to insight violence. alan henning was murdered. video of the beheading and shows a statement from henning clearly under duress that he was murdered and then -- i you this say, they threatened to kill an american, peter kasic. the 26-year-old former army soldier went missing last year while doing humanitarian work inside syria. kasic's family does confirm he
1:33 am
is the hostage shown in that video. senior international joins us. you met him a few years ago. what was that like? >> that's right. peter kasic, we met him back in 2012 over the summer in lebanon. he had been in the country for a few months and was up in a hospital in a tripoli volunteering to help wounded syrians. peter kasic was a young man who is very driven by a need to do something to better the world. especially whether it came to syria. he had told us back then that he felt as if he had one life to live, one chance at life and he had this profound desire to make some sort of a difference. a few months after we met him, he actually decided to do even more, setting up a nonprofit, a emergency response and assistance. sarah's folk us is trying to
1:34 am
train up volunteers at those make shift field clinics inside syria and try to get medical assistance to them. he, like the other hostages were beheaded before him, whether media activists, whether journalists, whether aid workers went into syria because he felt that he had a profound responsibility to make a difference. george? >> these videos are terrible to see. there are brutal tactics. surprisingly, isis is win something people over and getting support from very unlikely sources. what can you tell us about that? >> well, whether it's winning them over or immersing them in intense studies of isis version of islam, the terrorist group has a campaign and they don't even spare the most innocent of minds. >> reporter: this is man is one of more than 140 syrian schoolboys kidnapped by isis
1:35 am
four months ago. kidnapped on their way home from final exams according to the syrian object torre for human rights. he is among the 70 or so released in the last few days. i couldn't believe it. when i got to the coffee shop and i called my parents, i couldn't believe it, he remembers. his mother wipes her tears when we ask about the moment they were reunited. in that moment, we forgot we were in a strange country, a strange home, his sister says. the family is from a town under siege by isis for two weeks now. they among the first wave of some 130,000 that were forced to flee to turkey. she says when isis first grabbed them, he was terrified. they took us to the mosque and they had us pray. they taught us to provide and we went to the school. a primary school that would be their prison. he says they questioned if he
1:36 am
had ties to kurdish fighters. i said we don't have anyone. they hit me with cables, five, six times. others were more severely beaten. some electrocuted, even hung from the ceiling, he says. and as in this isis video showing child recruits, the kidnapped schoolboys were also entrenched in isis' version of islam. we were afraid of them. when are they going to kill us? today? tomorrow? and then we found out the truth. that they don't just slaughter someone without evidence. without finding out if they are infidel or not. the schoolboys were forced to watch videos like this of beheadings and amputations. but not, he says, to instill fear. they wanted us to know the truth, that they don't just grab a random person off the street
1:37 am
and execute him without evidence, only if they are infidels. then we asked what he thinks of isis and his response stuns the entire room. they are right, he says. this is normal, his sister tells us. they are children, after all. it wouldn't be normal if they weren't affected. but she can't believe what she's hearing her younger brother say. even accusing her of ignorance about islam. he pauses and then says -- there are some that are bad.
1:38 am
his family relieved at his return. but left wondering if they really got the boy they knew back. and he also told us that ten days prior to their release, the isis fighters told them that during the muslim holiday they would be praying in the streets and that is the town that isis has had under siege for around two weeks now, a town that many fear could follow especially if there is no additional support from the u.s.-led coalition. george? >> very insightful story. arwa damon joining us. we prsh your repoappreciate you. let's get more on the rekrumere. practices. in people are looking at the situation and asking how is it, why it is that so many people
1:39 am
are becoming radicalized and joining this group? >> i think first of all, let me take this opportunity to say how devastated and disgusted we are by the latest round of despicable vie lerns olence, th beheading of allen henning. if nothing else, at least the latest episode of beheading of allen henning should really cause anyone who has the slightest sympathy for isis to recognize that the timing, the method, the mechanism and the target that they have chosen in this latest incident shows that they do not stand for islam or they do not represent any part of islam but a version of cruelty and inhumanity inflicted to maximize propaganda for their needs. i'm shocked to see the document you just show of a young man who was taken captive. not putting so much focus on
1:40 am
what he said but in the sense of his sympathy towards isis. but if you look at the treatment that he said he has received and other children have received, he just confirms that isis is not a religiously inspired organization. isis is really a military group hell bent on inflicting fear and cruelty in the worst possible manner so that they can create a kind of unchallenged authority of our people, a population who lives in shear desperation, desperate to have stability, desperate to have, you know, slightly better security and so forth. so i'm not sure there's a huge support. yes, there are people. there are hundreds of people who are in growing sympathy. i'm not sure there is a very large number who actually sympathize or even will be prepared to tolerate the kind of behavior wee s see coming up.
1:41 am
good but for those who do find this group attractive, what it is? what draws people to it? is it the twisted take on the religion or is it just this binary conflict of them against the west? what is it that draws people in? >> i don't think it's a conviction on faith, however twisted that is. although, of course, we see them justifying in the name of faith. isis is not a faith inspired group. and that is a mistake we have to make. isis is a group really came out of in fighting of various other groups. they prevail because they're so cruel. and so what happened is when you have a hopelessness and desperation, often whoever are able to prevail will gain support from people. people after all want stability. and then on top of that, you've got what you have is isis are fighting people like the iraqi
1:42 am
government and now they'll be seen to be fighting the u.s. and british forces. and what it does give is that many people have bitter memories, bitter experience of an incompetent iraqi government that left us in that mass. many have brutal experience of the u.s. forces bombing and occupying and they lost a lot of their loved one. naturally some of them are thinking that somehow isis is really countering and standing up for them. and the challenge we have is to make the case again and again is that however tempting, however luke lucrative it appears to stand up to the western bully, the reality is that isis do not represent a hope. one of the thing i've been heartened by is the allen henning case, they're in all shapes and colors and theology has come together to condemn isis. we just need to keep doing that. >> talha ahmad joining us with

1:46 am
welcome back. a fire may have destroyed memorabilia from the september 11th terror attack on united airlines flight 93. the national park service says the fire damaged four buildings at the memorial site headquarters in pennsylvania. the damaged buildings housed about 10% of the memorial's collection of 9/11 artifacts. >> unfortunately, only about 10% of our collection is actually stored here. most of it is off site. and the items that are here, many of them are in fireproof safes or five proof filing cabinets. so at this point we don't know the extent of the damage. >> at this point the cause of that fire is still under investigation. st. louis county police are taking charge of protest security in racially troubled ferguson, missouri. "the new york times" reports ferguson police hand oefed overt
1:47 am
responsibility and cited a lack of resources and manpower. this comes as a battle bruise between the news media and city of ferguson over records regarding the mike april brocha story. the e-mails were requested by cnn, the associated press and other news organizations to try and help the public understand exactly what happened the day of the controversial shooting. in a response from the city, cnn was asked to pay a $2,000 deposit before the city would agree to even begin searching for the records saying "there is a tremendous amount of work involved with researching whether records exist which are responsive to your request and any copying or duplication that will be needed." under state law, cities are allowed to charge media outlets for the reasonable cost of finding and copying records. >> we have a very good law on the books that requires
1:48 am
openness. >> is ferguson following that law? >> and ferguson is really going out of its way to find any way not to make records easily accessible to the public which is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen. you know, with the unrest and the lack of trust really what ferguson should be doing is going out of its way to make records accessible, to make information available to the public. they can make records available. they're just choosing not to. that is troubling and contrary to, you know, what the sunshine law is suppose to end courage. >> reporter: since the shooting in august, there is controversy over police records pertaining to brown's shooting. the day officer wilson shot brown, ferguson police department broke its own policy whether its officers failed to file an officer involved shooting incident report. the department later enflamed tensions when they waited a week to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting and when it did, it also released video of what it said showed michael brown committing
1:49 am
