the drug zmapp. across san diego, researchers are pushing any idea that might work. thomas duncan, mukpo were given an experimental drug and it's being used in germany to treat a ugandan doctor. they don't know if this will work for sure, but with ebola there's a common call -- try it. >> when you have a hard-to-treat pathogen like this, it pulls researchers together because it's the ultimate challenge. >> reporter: the biggest challenge isn't just the disease but money. she's turned to crowd funding, trying to buy another one of these critical machines. >> it seems ridiculous that you are having to crowd fund. why are you crowd funding? >> because we need the money

fast. it gives people an opportunity to put their money into what they think is important. >> reporter: san diego, california. and we turn now to a major policy shift in turkey, one that promises much-needed help for kurds battling forces in kobani. it will let iraq's kurdish peshmerga fighters cross the border into kobani to help turn the tide. meanwhile a new offensive has been launched in northern iraq. targets include mosul dam and targets around sinjar mountains. peshmerga was able to repel most attacks. turkey's reluctance to help stems from its view that both isis and the kurdish fighters are terrorists. but the u.s. has been helping

kobani's fighters with air strikes and for the first time flown in supplies and arms. they explained that on monday. >> we talked with turkish authorities. i did, the president did, to make it very, very clear, this is not a shift in policy by the united states. it is a crisis moment, an emergency where we clearly do not want to see kobani become a horrible example of the unwillingness of people to help those who are fighting isil. >> john kerry talking there. and for more on turkey's position and the battle against isis our ivan watson was given a rare tour of some of its fortifications along the syrian border. >> reporter: how do you protect your country from what are arguably at least three civil wars being fought simultaneously

across the border? one measure that the turkish government has adopted is to simply build a ditch, a big, deep, and long one with turkey on this side and syria right over there. but it's not just trying to keep syrian threats out from spilling over into turkey, the turkish government says in the last couple days they've detained at least 20 people, mostly europeans and russians who they suspect were trying to smuggle their way into syria to join isis. it's from border posts like this that the turkish military is trying to control its frontier with syria. so from this guard tower, this unit is in charge of about 5, 6 kilometers of border. that's about 3 miles. and the biggest concern is the smugglers who they say try to get through the border every day. [ shouting in foreign language ]

>> reporter: the turkish military has been showing us how they've been fortifying the border with thermal cameras, with fences, with troops as well. ankara denies allegations that it has allowed weapons and fighters through to terrorist organizations like isis. instead they are highlighting the fact that this border gate is a main entry point for a lot of humanitarian assistance going to syria and also stressing the point that turkey has hosted more than 1.5 million syrian refugees, more than any other country in the region. parts of the border still have minefields dating back to the cold war. but the fact is, today syrian territory neighboring turkey is controlled by a complicated mix of syrian factions, including

isis and kurdish as well as the free syrian army and the syrian regime. it is very messy. and hard to imagine how any government could come up with a policy to deal with the mess right next door. ivan watson, cnn on the turkish/syrian border. it is sentencing day for oscar pistorias, the south african sprinter will soon find out if he's heading to prison for killing his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. the judge will deliver her sentence in a little more than two hours from now. the defense is arguing for house arrest. the prosecution wants at least ten years in prison. the sentence is completely up to the judge. pistorias's brother and sister say they have no doubt that

steencamp's death was an accident, but the pain for everyone will last forever. >> reporter: how will this play into his life and yours, that this might not end with the sentencing. that there might be an appeal. >> it's never going to be over. something like this changes my brother's lives, our lives, the steencamps', their family, their friends. no one who's been close to the situation can just overcome this. you know, it's something my brother will carry with him forever. and it's not, regardless of what's happening now, it's just as certain phase in the journey which will never end. >> oscar pistorias's brother and sister there. later this hour, a closer look at the judge who will decide the

and the 26 year old security guard says he can give details of all his victims. >> reporter: a sigh of relief in the brazilian city after the arrest. police say the 26 year old security guard has confessed to 39 murders over three years. he targeted people he didn't even know, especially young women, homosexuals and the homeless. in taped police testimony, he says he remembers every victim. number 20, the detective asks? lillian, he answers, saying he killed her with one shot to the chest. police say he often used a motorbike to hunt for victims and then shot them. sometimes after demanding money or valuables. now he's been called the handsome serial killer, but his arrest comes after a murder spree sparked a desperate man

hunt. family and friends of victims have tried to get more information at police headquarters. now we know there won't be any more victims. it's over. police tracked down tv footage of the snack bar where one of the last crimes was committed. one person agreed to speak off camera. i committed the crimes, he says, but i really regret it. if i could, i would ask for forgiveness. he still faces a trial, and police are facing tough questions about why it took so long to identify those murders as the work of a serial killer. shasta darling ton, cnn, sao paulo. we want to get some details on the timing of the rain and wind. let's go to ivan cabrera.

what's track here? >> we're going to be looking for this in the next couple days, wednesday into thursday will be the main days for heavy rain, significant went r wiinds comin. because of the tides in massachusetts, boston could see coastal flooding. the storm not getting going yet. it's just the beginning of low pressure diving out of the great lakes and will spawn a new low off the coast. if that sounds familiar, that's what we talk about in the winter. if we were a month in or later we'd probably be talking about a pretty good snowstorm. but not the case. it is just going to be wet, so a nuisance mainly, except for the areas that could be seeing a little more rainfall. and that would be boston and even portland. 1 to 3 inches is possible. let's track the timing and you'll be able to see, especially if you're flying

internationally into new york. you could see some delays here as the low comes in. you'll be able to see a secondary low popping south of new england. and on the western side of this you'll see the moisture training in from boston and points north. further north the heaviest of the rain d.c. and down to the south you'll be fine with the form here. that's not going to be for you. but 1 to 3 inches is certainly a potential. we could see localized heavier amounts. we will watch that wednesday and thursday as well. it could be bringing delays at the airports. also watching an area of disturbed weather in the bay of campeche. something's going to try to develop here and head further to the east, all the while bringing heavy rain to mexico over the next several days. there you see some of the

and it will be televised. in the meantime, protesters seem to be listening to their leaders to sit in, stay calm and avoid provoking police. there is much at stake. even the talks' mediator warned against rising expectations. >> i'm not going to speculate at all about whether there will be a resolution. but i hope, because part of the, as part of the agreement, this is not the only dialog that will take place. >> reporter: cheng, a university president knows what he's up against. moments before speaking to cnn he was bestowing degrees on graduates, and again and again there it was. this graduate opens up an umbrella to reveal the slogan, let freedom blossom. at this ceremony, some students tell us their future must include democracy for hong kong.

domestic movement. his words were played hour after hour on tv. these protests began with authenticity. if there is no resolution or progress, the government will continue to question their legitimacy. cnn, hong kong. >> and manisha tank joins me now. the question here is what's likely to come out of these talks if anything and what happens if protesters get no compromise at all? what then? >> reporter: well, that's a question people answer from different perspectives. it really depends on who you talk to as to what people expect from these talks. we've come out onto harcourt road. this is in the admiralty district. this has been the heart of the occupy protest. can you see all around me tents

as far as the eye can see, and they are butted up against these commercial buildings. one commercial building owner actually going so far as to take out a court injunction to get them to move, and move the tents blocking exits and entrances. it's slightly different to the demographic area of mongkock area. major government buildings here and more tents. can you sigh all the color. why is this so important? when you go out and speak to people here in these tents, and you talk about court injunctions and talks and the possibility of dialog they keep on maintaining we're here of our own volition. we want the chief executive to resign and universal suffrage.

and if those core demands are not met, they say they are not going to leave, even if you talk about the prospects of the police coming in and moving them out. they don't seem to be afraid. even joshua wong, the head of one of the student groups, he was asked about these court inji injunctio injunctions. >> translator: i guarantee you after you issue the injunctions, the people here to protest will only increase. hong kong's civil disobedience is an unchangeable reality. >> reporter: so definitely there is agreement that having talks is a step in the right direction. it's the beginning of dialog. and of course those talks are scheduled for prime time, that's probably no accident, between 6:00 and 8:00 this tuesday. people having viewing parties to see what happens, rosemary. >> and we'll be watching very

when isis holds olympics, watched on television by the caliph, isis always wins. the loser's dispatched in the usual manner. the mythical state has been a hit in baghdad, but not everyone finds it funny. in the opening scene, a cowboy, meant to represent the united states introduces satan to a woman with the star of david on her neck, meant to be israel, in the company of another woman resembling the wife of the former amere of qatar. hatching from an egg, the caliph is the fruit of their union. it reflects a widely held perception that the u.s., israel and qatar are behind isis. this man is convinced it's true. it's clear, he says, the americans, with support from qatar brought satan and israel

together to give birth to isis, to raise it, to allow it to exploit the weakness and hurt. the iraqi government instructed him to drop references to the u.s. and qatar, and the show goes on. before filming, makeup artists apply beard after beard. this man plays the town's imam and sees the show as an important response to isis. they in word and deed are bloodthirsty, he says. their only message is one of blood, killing people, killing the innocent. he knows only too well. one of his sons was killed in iraq, another in syria. cnn obtained an exclusive interview with the caliph or rather the man who plays him on tv. it's a dangerous and difficult role and a lot of actors turned

they tell me bravo. they ask me if i'm afraid, and i tell them, no, i'm not. we don't want to give away the details of the last show, because it airs later this week. but in one of the final scenes, she, as the anchor of the network receives the news isis and the caliph have been deposed. ben wedeman, cnn, baghdad. >> certainly brave actors there. still to come here on cnn, russia is taking a bite out of mcdonald's business, why the country has closed nine of the chain's restaurants. plus a hunt grows for a mystery object off the coast of sweden.

deciding pistorias' fate, but for many here an example to the world of justice in democratic south africa. >> she taught me from the beginning, we will treat this case as a normal case, as all other cases. and she's not really showing much emotion about the case. >> reporter: perhaps because she's a judge, she's faced far greater challenges. it was here in the late 1970s at the height of apartheid, that matilda, as she was then known, became part of a new class of female journalists, ready to risk everything to report on the political violence and the fight for democratic freedom. >> we were writing those stories, writing about the people who were activists, people who had been detained, who had been tried. >> reporter: she was a fellow journalist and part of that close-knit group. >> after work, matilda was going

to the library. >> reporter: the juyoung matild was seen as detached, but she says it's because she was driven, focused on a future few could imagine. >> if you look at where she came from and where she is now, she knew one day we are going to be there, and we have to be ready when we get there. >> reporter: the journey that's taken her from a once segregated soweto to the high court. >> today she is trying a white boy. in my lifetime, i never thought that would happen. >> reporter: robyn curnow, cnn, pretoria. i'm rosemary church. and you are watching cnn. in the next hour we will take you live to pretoria where we are awaiting judge masipa's decision. also, the latest in the battle against isis. what's driving young boys to
