2:00 am
hor hold onto kobani. cr can isis t can isca control? >r ap a and we'll have the latest on causalities, damage and when the storms will subside. >> also in the fight against ebola, health care workers in the hardest hit area may be reaching their breaking point overwhelmed with a new wave of new cases. welcome to our viewers from around the world and here in the u.s. i'm amara walker. let's get straight to the top stories. two typhoons dominated the weather in india and japan this weekend. the latest is slamming into india as a category 3 storm. indian authorities reporting that six people have died. our meteorologist is at the world weather center to give us more on the storm that's slamming into india. derrick. >> yeah, as we speak, in fact.
2:01 am
it has already made landfall but this is the scene just before it did and it's kicked up some serious surf across this area. villagers and fishermen bracing from the impact from the storm. winds still sustained at 215 kilometers per hour but i expect that to lessen as the hours go on. the center of the storm has moved on land so it no longer has the moisture source. but this area, the east coast of india, the northern state, that was ground zero for the center of this storm as it made land fall as a strong category 3 equivalent if it was in the atlanta basin. this is the track of the storm. we're expecting it to deteriorate as the next 12 to 24 hours progresses but it will still be a rain maker.
2:02 am
flooding becomes a concern. these are the concerns we have. flooding, very slim chance of tornadoes but we do have a storm surge and wind as well. take a look at some of this video footage that's come out of that region. heavy rain and wind uprooting trees, knocking out power and halting some of the transport services around there. i found this very interesting. the global disaster alert and coordination system says the storm was strong enough to have a high humanitarian impact on nearly 11 million people and unfortunately this storm is also coinciding with the year anniversary of a tie fan in the region. that's fresh our our minds. winds will start to lessen over the next 12 to 24 hours. it's the rain we're worried about. 289 milimeters of rainfall.
2:03 am
significant amounts of rainfall over the next day or so. you can see the winds will lighten up as the storm moves inland as well and things will start to return back to normal. we're still monitoring typhoon vongfong. it will bring rain to sections of the japanese mainland. it's parallel to the mainland. we're talking about rainfall rates upwards of 80 millimeters in an hourly period. we're going to look out for the possibilities of mud slides and rainfalls. impressive rainfall totals coming out of japan as well with the storm system. rain wasn't the only problem in
2:04 am
ok okinawa. look at these. >> appreciate it. typhoon vongfong blew through injuring dozens of people. it's been downgraded to a tropical storm but it's still expected to pack a bunch when it hits the japanese mainland. james reynolds is on the ground in okinawa and experienced the intense winds and heavy rains firsthand. james joins us on the phone. i understand things are calm at this point but tell us a little bit about the aftermath that vongfong left behind. >> caller: it's a case of everyone here being thankful it's over. it's been a very very long event for the island here. 48 hours of very strong winds and torrential rain but thankfully i can report that damage is minimal around the island. the infrastructure here is very strong. i did see sporadic power outages
2:05 am
but other than that life is getting back to normal thankfully. >> when this storm did hit tell us where you were as you made landfall and what the conditions were like. >> yeah, the storm went actually right across the middle of the island. the populated southern half was lashed by an incredibly strong winds and heavy rain for a long period of time. so it really effected the largest number of people on the island and it was hazardous to be out on the street. i saw people almost getting blown down the street outside the hotel where i'm saying. it goes to show how strong the winds were and how hazardous it was to be on the streets when the typhoon was hitting. >> james reynolds on the ground there for us where things are calm in okinawa but vongfong is poised to hit mainland japan. many thanks to you. let's turn to isis and the militant group is on the verge
2:06 am
of overtaking a large portion of western iraq. regional officials say isis is moving to capture off of anbar province an area that pushes right up to baghdad the capitol and cnn is learning the head of anbar's police force was killed saturday in a road side bomb attack. chuck hagel says baghdad is not in danger of falling. >> iraqi security forces are in full control of baghdad. continue to strengthen their positions in baghdad. we continue to help them with air strikes, with our assistance and our advisors which i have at the direction of president obama added to our numbers there. i think in iraq today with our coalition partners we're up around 300 air strikes. we'll continue with those air strikes. >> now with isis pushing deeper into iraq's anbar province
2:07 am
officials are now asking the u.s. to deploy troops to help. cnn senior international correspondent has more. >> fresh isis recruits train to retrieve the wounded from the battlefield in a newly released propaganda video from the group entitled blood of jihad it's clear isis doesn't lack for fresh recruits. >> the training includes religious instruction. mostly about the importance of fighting, killing and martyrdom. >> men like these could be part of the on going effort by isis to take all of iraq's best anbar province which extends to the outskirts of baghdad. officials tell cnn they believe as many as 10,000 isis fighters have been sent from syria and northern iraq to anbar to join
2:08 am
the offensive. two months of coalition air strikes targeted isis but haven't halted it's advances. another video proports to show a downed drone. isis already controls 80% of anbar. they surrounded the last remaining town under government control and made further inloads toward ramadi. on the outskirts of baghdad also in anbar iraqi troops keep an eye on the horizon but their hold on the province is slipping day by day. they have been plagued by absenteeism, corruption and incompetence. hardly the ingredients for success. anbar's council is appealing to the government for american forces to join the battle.
2:09 am
although baghdad made it clear it doesn't want u.s. ground troops and the obama administration repeatedly insisted no combat troops will be deployed here. >> as if all of this wasn't grim enough, isis is following a two-pronged approach to take more territory and to sew terror in the areas it doesn't control. >> let's turn to syria where smoke rises over kobani. nine coalition air strikes hit isis targets in and around the keyboarder town sunday. forces are struggling to keep kobani out of the hands of isis which is now on the verge of total control. live now from the syria turkey border, what are you seeing today? >> reporter: well, it's been
2:10 am
oddly quite so far this morning. we did hear various reports that there may have been some air strikes taking place a few hours ago. we did just hear some bursts of gunfire but compared to the intensity of the battle, especially over the last 48 to 72 hours it does feel fairly quite although that is not necessarily an indication of anything in particular. we have been seeing isis suddenly advancing despite the coalition air likes and numerous reports that they're losing a good number of fighters in these various clashes. a doctor cnn smoke to is treating the wounded. also saying that the kurdish fighting force and sere juan army were bringing in some of the isis causalities. among them there was one little boy that estimated he was around 13 years old. it seems as if isis is managing too. we have been hearing reports
2:11 am
bringing in reinforcements. isis also at this stage not experiencing the same resupply challenges that the fighting force is undergoing. they have been asking turkey for a weapon's corridor because they're going to run out of ammunition. >> if kobani were to fall it wouldn't only be a strategic victory for isis but you're talking about the massive humanitarian crisis. we've heard these warnings of the massacre of the people that are left behind. do we know how many people remain trapped in kobani? >> you know, the estimates are all over the place. we have been hearing from the united nations it could be as high as 10,000. what we're hearing is in the city in and of itself maybe 1,000 civilians stayed behind
2:12 am
and 2,000 are estimated to be along the border. these are people that have driven their vehicles up to the border, as close as possible to safety but they're choosing not to cross because they can bring their cars packed with their possessions into turkey and a lot of them are saying they don't want to lose everything that they own and they still keep holding on to this hope that given that air strikes are on going perhaps kobani will be saved. many of them not wanting to suffer the indignity of having to live in the refugee camps. this part of turkey had to absorb 200,000 refugees since isis began it's push into that portion of northern syria just behind us and turkey in particular this area is trying to cope with the sudden and massive influx. a will the of the syrian kurds are stuck with the position of
2:13 am
moving into turkey and being safe and then the emotional toll. a lot of them having to leave everything behind and struggling to make ends meet. so we do hear from the u.s. and it's allies and turkey saying that kobani is not necessarily a priority. well when one looks at the humanitarian catastrophe that unfolded up until now and the potential for even more violence, more bloodshed and even greater humanitarian need one has to wonder where the u.s. think it's coming from at this stage. >> we have seen those protests in turkey that have turned violent and the protests around the world for the perceived inaction of the turkish government to save kobani. appreciate your reporting. well, coming up after the break we'll have a live report from madrid to give you the latest on the condition of the nurse's assistant battling ebola. >> plus liberia's medical

2:15 am
ring ring! ...progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables... shh! taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!? no...soup! oh! soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste. welcome back. special screenings for ebola started up at john f. kennedy international airport. the procedures are for the 150 passengers that come in each day from the main west african
2:16 am
countries battling the outbreak. they involve travellers having their temperatures taken and answering questions about possible exposure to the virus. four more u.s. airports will implemented the procedure starting thursday and still health officials say nothing can be done to reduce the risk to zero. let's get the latest on the condition of the nurse's assistant currently fighting ebola in a madrid hospital. nick robertson join us live. do we know what her condition is and can you also give us more about the people being held under observation there. >> reporter: absolutely. stable but in a serious condition. that's what we understand at the moment. conscious and talking as well. other ways her condition is being described at the moment. there's 15 other people that had risky contact that are being observed at the moment. one of those is her husband.
2:17 am
there's two other hospital workers from this hospital here that are under observation. three beauticians whom she visited while she was believed to be infected. four nurses also under observations and five doctors under observation here as well. now, one nurse was released from the quarantine of observation over the last 24 hours. she had a second negative test so she'll be under observation until the 16th of october but she is no longer in quarantine. however, yesterday, saturday, another nurse voluntarily submitted herself to observation concerned about the contact that she had had with terri in a romero. there's also concern here among the public about what's being done. about how much support there is and also just how infectious this disease is. particularly the concerns are
2:18 am
strong in the neighborhood where teresa romero was living. >> translator: some people were very frightened. they even left their homes in this neighborhood but others are just trying to go about their normal lives. we walk our dogs in places where they walked their dogs. >> reporter: so the government has put in place a special commission to continue it's investigation. it did yesterday announce that it was bringing other experts into work on that special commission to provide more information and perhaps begin to relay some of the concerns that are so prevalent here. >> that's understandable these concerns but we also heard from spanish officials urging people to stay calm but the spanish government has really been under fire for the way it's handles teresa's case. how confident are the people
2:19 am
with the way the government has been dealing with all of this? >> reporter: well i think one of the things that undermined confidence here is the ability of the health care system to do what it's supposed to do or used to have this hospital set up to do which is do disease control. the european center for disease control and prevention had it's experts visit here and they say that despite the fact that this hospital was the one that was established and the one that was supposed to treat infectious diseases the hospital itself is no longer up to that standard. they say the staff getting the equipment and preparation that is necessary but the hospital itself and infrastructure itself is no longer capable. so the prevention of the spread and control of infectious
2:20 am
diseases when they have statements like that that's not something that's going to bolster public confidence. >> we can see why. the details there from outside the hospital in madrid. nick robertson, thank you. as they struggle to contain the ebola epidemic things could get worse in that nation. researchers say their working conditions have become unbarable and they might have to do something drastic if that's what it takes to get what they need. >> reporter: since this crisis began the already struggling liberian health care infrastructure is stretched to the breaking point and now the people on the front line of the fight against this virus say they have been stretched to breaking points. they have been on a go slow and ambulance workers that attempted to get patients admitted to this, the government's largest ebola treatment unit tell us
2:21 am
they had to take them elsewhere. this is a critical structure for the president and her government. she is behind me now attempting to calm some of those threatening to go on a strike. >> it takes time. resources are scarce. we're trying to meet all their needs and we'll continue to do that. >> currently you have 3,000 deaths multiply that by 5. so you have 50,000 deaths in the next four week ifs this isn't handled soon. >> given those consequences why do you still want to strike? >> i don't want to strike but the president has to listen to the mass of health workers out there. we're angry people. you don't want angry people foking at your door during this emergency situation so the president has to listen and act fast. >> a lot has been said about the international community's response but these are the men and women that have been risking
2:22 am
their live since the beginning of the crisis and now they're asking that the world does not forget about them. well the world health organization counts more than 8300 confirmed or suspected cases of ebola in west africa. more than 4,000 have been fatal and it's feared the real numbers could be much higher. the vast majority of the cases and deaths are liberia, sierra leon and guinea. one death in the u.s. passengers had a dramatic ending to their flight on a u.s. airways plane. what happened just before the aircraft touched down safely. uh-huh... you don't love the dress? i love my sister... 40 flavors. 100 calories or less. ghave a nice flight!r bag right here. traveling can feel like one big mystery.
2:23 am

the chief executive is vowing to stay? office despite calls for his resignation. they have set up thousands of tents in hong kong central business district. they're demanding full democratic elections in 2016. they called off talks which only fuelled the protest. the protest is out of control. >> well, passengers had some tense moments on board a u.s. airways fight. oxygen masks deployed when the plane made a rapid descent. rosa flores has video taken from inside the plane during this ordeal. >> imagine this, kids screaming
2:26 am
and passengers in pain from their ears popping. that's how one passenger describes the rapid descent to 10,000 feet on a flight from new york to south carolina on saturday. the passenger shot this video after the oxygen masks deployed simultaneously. he said it was a very dramatic event. after that the pilot let everyone know that the plane had just gone down from 36,000 feet to 10,000 feet. >> everything seemed pretty normal at that point and then all of a sudden every one of the oxygen masks dropped and have been on hundreds and hundreds of planes before and you always hear about that and get the instructions about it but never have actually seen that so it was a little startling when all of dropped at the same time with no real announcement ahead of time. it was very very quite. nobody got alarmed.
2:27 am
the whole crew just handled everything extremely well. >> he also says everyone was surprisingly calm. the plane landed normally. airline personnel were at the gate to answer passenger questions and emts were also on hand. according to u.s. airways 146 passengers were on board and no one was hurt. the paintness team is evaluating the plane. no word on the cause of the pressurization issue. >> no panic. everyone was surprisingly calm. wow, what an ordeal. coming up, air strikes target isis as kurdish forces struggle to control the key city in syria. the question now, how much longer can kobani stand. >> palestinians are looking to rebuild gaza. how palestinian leaders are trying to raise $4 billion in aid. ha! where do you put the books?! these are still cool, right? number 15 of my 20,

2:31 am
caused damage throughout the country's east coast and the southern tip of mainland japan is bracing for a weekend version of this storm that hit okinawa on sunday. this is typhoon vongfong and it's been downgraded to a tropical storm. the spanish nurse diagnosed with ebola is in serious but stable condition. the first-person to contract ebola outside of africa has been treated with an antiinfluenza drug. her condition improved after taking a turn for worst last week. she remains under observation in a madrid hospital. >> in the u.s. a man has been arrested in connection with a wildfire that scorched more than 150 homes in the state of california. police booked ronald marshall on three felony arson charges. law enforcement officials have been following marshall as a person of interest since september. his bail is set at $250,000.
2:32 am
>> as isis tightens it's grip on the syrian city of kobani air strikes continue to mount in and around the city. more on the battle for kobani. >> nothing appeared to be any easier for kurds defending kobani saturday. the front line still moving west shrinking kurdish ground. some fleeing. these men's trucks stuck on the railway. some of the shots get closer. they duck. and then edge toward a largely closed turkish border. this probably an isis truck hit as it ran toward kurdish lines. one site particularly important. two of these fighters were female and the fact that they hold ground this far east means
2:33 am
isis has yet to seize their official cross into turkey. it will bring some relief to a world and locals anxiously watching hearing the u.s. suggest over 10,000 civilians could be trapped by the fighting. >> there's no question the conflict is moving quickly but the big doubt is how many people still remain inside the city. civilians will the turkish army sit on the hilltops watching this tragic scene unfold, will they intervene and prevent a humanitarian foothold. >> the turkish army letting some people cross into turkey. not allowed to stop and talk they shouted to us. he knew of hundreds trapped just across from the official crossing with turkey. faces but speak of the savagery looming large over this town nearing hourly.
2:34 am
in iraq three car bomb attacks shook the capitol city of baghdad sunday. at least 43 people were killed and dozens more were injured. two of the car bombs went off at checkpoint entrances around northern baghdad. the attacks took place in predominantly shia neighborhoods. >> an international conference on rebuilding gaza is underway in cairo egypt. much of the territory was destrd destroyed during the conflict. they're calling for $4 billion in aid. ian joins us live from jerusalem. how likely is it that this conference will be able to raise $4 billion. >> well, they have been able to raise billions of dollars in the past but this time these donors want reassurances and they're hesitant because they don't want to see them give money and
2:35 am
donate money to the palestinians and have another war come a few years later. we've seen this in 2008, 2009 and 2012. they don't want to donate money and have it all destroyed. all be it a lot of the billions of dollars never really materialized but there's a need for this money on the ground in gaza. roughly 20,000 home versus been destroyed leaving over 100,000 people homeless. there's also electricity. the power plant needs to be rebuilt. there's sewage and water and winter is coming close. these people are going to need this soon. >> you talk about the diplomats there will want assurances because there is no permanent peace deal in place there. where do they stand right now? john kerry has been in overdrive trying to accomplish that. >> that's right.
2:36 am
he's there to show the u.s. support but also to jump start the peace talks between the palestinians and iz raleisraeis. it's a good time to get the sides going back together to talk and make sure this money donated isn't just wasted because of another war. so he is pushing hard although the peace talks have failed this isn't going on the an easy task for him. to get these two sides back together in politics. >> history has shown this has not bp an easy task to accomplish. appreciate that update for us. and this just in to cnn, there has been a second confirmed case of ebola contracted in the united states. according to health officials the infected person is a health care worker at the same hospital where thomas eric duncan was
2:37 am

2:44 am
be the case but should i stand by and try to do nothing to solve this problem. >> the police department won't say anything about the record signing a civil rights lawsuit involving the controversial seat belt stop. this group of black ministers from the hammond area, the naacp and council members want answers. they haven't been able to find out what happened either. >> the mayor indicated they are still on the street. they definitely ought to be confined to desk duty and not interacting with the public until there's a full investigation. >> we were told the carey wasn't in the office and after several attempts to meet him on his phone and at home he called me back. >> i can at least a that much. >> we do know he has been sued at least three times over allegations of excessive force including a complaint from this couple, this photograph, and a
