>> hello, everyone. you're watching cnn. i'm rosemary church. we want to welcome your viewers in the united states and of course, all around the world. our top stories this hour. launch disaster. nasa scrambles to investigate what went wrong. >> i want to make sure that every policy we put in place is supportive of their efforts. >> in the fight against ebola, the u.s. president is standing by the health care workers. and in the battle against isis, we will take you to the frontlines to introduce you to

the men and women confronting the militant threat. nasa says investigators will find out why an unmanned rocket exploded and keep it from happening again. they'll have a lot of debris to sift through this happened tuesday night on the virginia coast. >> five, four, three, two, one. we have ignition. and we have liftoff. on its third crs mission to the iss. main engines at 108%. >> we lost power.

launch team, launch team, be advised, stay at your consoles. everyone in the lcc maintain positions in your console. in the lcc -- >> wow, the images are just spectacular. and you see the fire raging there after that explosion. the rocket was carrying cargo and some classified equipment to the international space station. orbital sciences corporation owned that rocket, and the private contractor will lead the investigation into the explosion. the u.s. federal aviation administration and nasa will assist. >> our team worked very hard to prepare it. we conducted a lot of testing and analysis to get ready for this mission. however, something went wrong and we will find out what that is. we will determine the root cause and we will correct that and we will come back here and fly again hopefully in the very near future. but we will do all the things that are necessary to make sure that it's as safe as we can make it. and that we zo solve the

immediate problem of this particular mission. >> and here's another view of that explosion from a pilot who was watching it from a small plane. look at that. the weather was perfect at the time. and you can see the flames and then that huge fireball. the launch had been delayed by one day because a boat was too close down range in the rocket's flight path. well, we have a "baltimore sun" reporter who witnessed the explosion from about three miles or five kilometers away and he snapped this photo which has been retweeted hundreds of time since the explosion. he joins me via skype from virginia. thanks for chatting with us. this image, amazing. it captures that very moment of the blast. what do you remember of that whole liftoff and explosion? >> well, i remember that it was the first rocket launch that i had ever seen. i went on my own time just to go see it.

i live in baltimore and i went the three-hour drive to wallops island. i mean, initially, it seemed like everything went well. you heard kind of the ground rumbling, and that's really not expected, but immediately, about five seconds in, you just saw kind of a fireball. and it wasn't -- you could tell immediately that something was wrong because the rocket didn't get very high off the horizon there. you heard a loud boom and like you saw there, a really bright flash that really lit up the whole sky. and immediately you could tell that something had gone wrong. >> and what were people saying around you? how were they reacting to this? >> i watched it probably about three miles away from the launch site. you really can't get too much closer. a lot of people kind of go around and scout out their spots and sometimes arrive two hours before the launch.

it was a really anticipated event, because, like you mentioned yesterday, the launch was postponed and rescheduled for today. but around me, the people who had gathered around me, just kind of shock. because this is an area that, you know, it's a resort town. it's offseason now and people kind of -- all the locals kind of gathered around to watch this thing. and everyone just kind of looked around and just shock throughout. >> and as you're speaking, we're looking at some of these pictures. it almost looked like a nuclear. it must have been quite blinding when it took place. >> yeah, the entire sky was lit up. the launch was scheduled right after sunset. actually, i was able to take some really cool photos of the sunset right along the water.

like i said, a lot of anticipation there. and, you know, suddenly, like you said, that big blast, and just a big fire ball and a big boom that really kind of shook the ground. it was a lot different than the rumbling that you heard initially, which was just kind of the, you know, the expected kind of thing. the rumbling of those engines as they go off. just kind of reminds you how much power is going into that rocket as it's launching. but yeah, unlike anything i've ever seen. >> yeah. and as you're talking there, we're looking at that scene from the airplane. just as spectacular, taken from that vantage point. just blinding as it explodes. thank you so much for joining us and sharing your experience, as you witnessed the explosion of this rocket. quite amazing stuff. thank you so much. >> thank you. well, the u.s. is ramping up security at nearly 10,000 federal buildings. officials cite ongoing calls

from terrorists for strikes on american soil, but department of homeland security indicates there's no cause for alarm. i'm quoting here, we are taking this action as a precautionary step to safeguard u.s. government personnel and facilities and the visitors to those facilities. well, new security measures in the u.s. come just a week after two soldiers were killed in separate attacks in canada. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says the u.s. and canada are investigating and looking for ways to improve security. he spoke in ottawa on tuesday. take a listen. >> canada and the united states are now in discussions, not with any sense that things weren't done or that there was some information that we didn't somehow share or have, but rather with a view to making certain that every possible stone is turned over, every possible policy is reviewed.

because our obligation is obviously to protect our citizens. and so we will continue to have vigilance and aggressively take every stop possible to do that. >> john kerry there. meanwhile, the white house is investigating some suspicious cyber activity on its computer network, but it's not calling it a hacking incident, and it's not placing any blame, at least not yet. white house official tells cnn, the investigation has resulted in some temporary outages in the system. the officials stress that the outages stem from the investigation itself and not from any suspicious activity. syrian kurds defending the city of kobani against isis are about to get some badly needed help. about 160 iraqi pashmerga

fighters should be entering kobani soon. a general tells cnn the troops are bringing weapons and will join the fight against isis. now, that's despite what a peshmerga government official said yesterday about the i forces serving only as advisers. now we want to focus on the syrian kurds and what they are fighting for. turkeycies they have links to other kurds that it regards as terrorists. but the u.s. is counting them as its newest ally against isis. ivan watson reports. ♪ >> don't be fooled by the pretty song. these women are part of a militia that is isis' most deadly enemy in syria. kurdish fighters from the people's protection unit, or ypg. they've fought isis on the ground in syria for more than a year. only recently, they started getting help from the u.s. in the form of air strikes and

weapons drops. a surprising turn of events for this secular marxist-rooted movement, which includes many fighters who have long battled america's nato ally, turkey. an important part of this kurdish movement's ied yol is founded on gender equality. that means female fighters fight and bleed on the frontlines. and that stands in sharp contrast to isis, which has been covering women up and hiding them from public life. addressing the crowd, a top kurdish official who urges the fighters to protect their people from becoming slaves of isis. she is the co-president of one of three kurdish states in northern syria that have largely governed themselves for the last three years. >> translator: our dream is to build a democratic society that includes arabs, christians and kurds living together in unity. >> reporter: the kurds call

white house today. he's emphasizing the importance of the volunteers' work in west africa. listen. >> we want to make sure that we understand that they are doing god's work over there. and they're doing that to keep us safe and i want to make sure that every policy we put in place is supportive of their efforts. because if they are successful, then we're not going to have to worry about ebola here at home. >> and there's one way that outside help could make a substantial difference in the ebola fight. experts say that's through education aboutless risky burial practices. and as linda kinkade reports, tradition in sierra leone is already giving way to precautions as ebola victims are laid to rest. >> reporter: in the middle of a very grim epidemic, there is one bright spot. sierra leon's capital freetown has tripled the number of safe burials in the past week.

contact with bodies of ebola victims has been the leading cause of transmission in west africa. according to the w.h.o., ebola patients are most infectious right after death because that's when the virus overtakes the body. yet the country's traditional burial practices require that family members require the body of the deceased loved ones and touch it, sometimes even kiss it prior to burial. nearly 5,000 people have died of ebola in west africa, almost 1300 of them in sierra leone. and it's estimated 80% were caused by touching the dead bodies of ebola victims. many countries have stepped up the response to the outbreak, which includes educating people in ways to prevent the spread of the disease. >> if people can discipline themselves to follow those protocols and resist the temptation to hug their loved ones and treatment them in the ways they' been treating their

loved ones for many, many generations. if they can resist that, they can be part of the solution and can avoid infection. >> the hope now is that the trend of education and prevention can be continued in neighboring countries, guinea and liberia. linda kinkade, cnn. >> well, there's word of a decision on a police chief from a tense community. the latest in ferguson, missouri, just ahead.

the police chief in ferguson, missouri, is expected

to step down, possibly as early as next week. they say it's part of a plan to reform the police department and ease tensions in the aftermath of the police 14509ing of an unarmed teenager. however, ferguson's mayor says there's no plan for the chief to resign. have a listen. >> is there any pressure from -- >> people have been saying that for months for him to step down. but we've stood by him. there's no change on that. >> well, meantime, the community remains on edge as it awaits a grand jury decision on possible charges against the police officer. the violent protests have subsided but there are fears they could return, depending on what happens in court. >> ferguson police officer darren wilson hasn't been seen in public since shooting and killing michael brown. wilson was expected to show up in court to testify in six felony drug cases. but the prosecuting attorney's

office says those cases have been dismissed because wilson did not show up to testify. the last time he was seen in ferguson was at the scene of the brown shooting on august 9. ferguson, missouri, hasn't been the same since. nightly protests have not stopped. they are mostly peaceful, but -- >> it just takes one person with bad intentions to make the entire situation spiral out of control. they take it above and beyond that. it's not just towards police anymore. sometimes these threats are going against police officers' families. >> protesters say it's the heavy-handed police response that caused the problems. either way, the fear of what may happen if the grand jury does not indict the officer is growing. >> some people say it will blow up. >> some people will say they will be part of blowing it up if he doesn't get indicted. i just hope it doesn't get bad. i hope nobody gets hurt. >> i know that they're going to

be really upset with the government buildings. i've heard about curfews that are going to happen. people are still thinking they're going to be able to protest. some people are scared. and they're stockpiling and just saying that they're not going to be able to get out of the house. a lot of people are scared, but some people that are just so angry, they don't care. >> anticipation that protesters will target government buildings and shut down certain streets and highways as happened during the height of the protest has school administrators reacting. sending home these letters to parents, warning them of possible school closures. one superintendent with students who live in ferguson has written a letter making a plea to the prosecuting attorney. >> what are you asking of the prosecuting attorney's office. >> well, mainly we want to make sure that the decision doesn't come out during a time in which school kids are in attendance. which gives us the opportunity, should something need to be done differently because of the response of the community based on the verdict that's handed down. >> while the school districts

prepare, so are residents, police and protesters. with one protester speaking directly to residents about a rumor and making a promise he hopes he can keep. >> i know that we're not durn burning down houses. i know that if i seen see somebody wanted to burn down a house, i would stop them and there are several other like myself that will not allow your homes to be vandalized. . >> n, ferguson, missouri. >> well, it was a day of mourning in canada. ♪ thousands gathered to pay respects to corporal nathan cirillo who was gunned down last week. he was attacked by michael zehaf-bibeau while standing guard in ottawa. authorities have since learned he had ties to jihadists in canada.

>> welcome back to cnn. i'm rosemary church. want to check the head lines for you at this hour. investigators promise to find out why an unmanned rocket exploded just seconds after launch. it happened tuesday night on the virginia coast. the nasa contracted rocket fell back to earth in a huge fire ball. there's a lot of damage, but thankfully, no deaths or injuries. about 160 iraqi peshmerga fighters are now in turkey and making their way to the syrian city of kobani. the troops will help syrian kurds defend the city from advancing isis militants.

they're expected to reach kobani in the coming hours. u.s. president barack obama is set to meet later today with health workers returning from west africa, while repeating his opposition to ebola quarantines in u.s. states. mr. obama emphasized the positive impact of merps who are helping fight the disease in liberia, guinea and sierra leone. in major league baseball, the world series is tied 3-3. the kansas city royals escaped elimination by crushing the san francisco giants 10-0 on tuesday night. and it's been a long time for the royals, 29 year sense their last championship. while the giants are looking for their third title in five seasons. game seven is wednesday nigh. well, the rocket that blew up over virginia was valued at $200 million the explosion happened in just a matter of seconds. but the investigation will take weeks, maybe months. cnn's tom forman has more.

>> reporter: the destruction of the rocket tookless than 20 seconds. at launch, everything looked fine. but within a matter of moment, it was clear something was going wrong. the company that built this under a contract with nasa, orbital sciences said, that they saw the vehicle stop. there was some disassembly of it, and then it fell to earth, blowing to pieces like that. that's really all they know at this point. they have to collect all these bits of debris and put it all back together. it's important for them for a lot of reasons, safety being one of them. also because they have a $1.8 billion contract with nasa for eight trips to resup blie the international space station. now they must begin the long, slow, forensic work of picking up the pieces, analyzing all the telemetry of the rocket and figuring out what wept wrong to produce such a cataclysmic end to this launch.

>> our thanks to tom foreman for that report. well, a u.s. football fan who disappeared during halftime at a denver broncos game has been found safe. police posted on twitter that paul kiterman was located in pueblo, colorado, a bit more than a 100 miles from where he disappeared. the 53-year-old was attending a night name on thursday with his stepson. the boy went to the bathroom and discovered kitterman missing when he came out. denver police say kitterman was found unharmed and no foul play is suspected. >> well, some families on hawaii's big island are watching helplessly as lava from the volcano inches closer to their homes. you are looking now at aerial drone footage of just how close the flow is to the town. the 2,000-degree river of molten rock has already claimed one structure .pit's just a garden

shed at this point. but about 40 to 50 homes are among the first group of residences in its projected path. that is why people are very uneasy about this. the lava flow actually started back in june. and it slowly crept about 13 miles, or about 20 kill meters from the volcano towards the town of pahoa. martin savage looks at what's been left behind. >> we're just a couple of hundred feet above the outskirts of pahoa. this is clearly where the lava is coming to the surface. you can see the flame and vegetation down there. what those people don't realize is the lava is doing post of its moving underground. in other words, it's not this red, hot sea that's sort of oozing across the surface. it is more something that is insidious, almost, running underneath the ground. but take a look at this. this is just an incredible view.

it almost looks like water, the way it undulates, the surface of it. but that is, or was, at one point, liquid stone. and you can see how it's transforming the landscape. and i should point out we're heading right now up to the northeast. in other words, we're directly towards pahoa. following the lava trail here. it has a kind of look of a wildfire, kind of like an area that may have been burned through, but it's vastly different than that. you can see on the edges how the vegetation is still smoldering. jeremy is going to fly us down to the farthest end to show how close that this has come to the sound of 950 people. the weird thin about this natural disaster is the fact that it's so slowly happening. it's still devastating, the impact is still going to perhaps destroy the town, but it's a disaster that comes in inches rather than something that strikes in the blink of an eye. all right, we're coming up over here. and what we're approaching is the leading edge of the lava.

as it starts to move into town. let me show you something down here. we're going to come up and we're going to show it to you on the other side of the heck. it's a cemetery. and you can actually see how the lava has burned into the tombstones. it's an old cemetery here. >> martin savage reporting there, extraordinary aerial shots there. i want to turn to a expert now, ken ruben at the university of hawaii. thank you, sir, for talking with us. and joining us via skype. now, of course, this lava has been slowly moving since june. which is just extraordinary, even more amazing is that this volcano has actually been erupting since 1983, hasn't it? so why was the island of hawaii not ready to deal with this? particularly in terms of trying to protect or perhaps wall off. i mean, what can you do? what are the options here for this village in the path of this lava?

>> well, some lava, just like water, does flow down slope. and most of the flow of this lava has gone to a different quadrant of the volcano. part of the volcano which is used to getting a substantial amount of lava flow where most of the activity has occurred in the last 30-odd years, this particular flow started on june 27 is a little bit unusual from the perspective that it flowed into a part of the volcano that doesn't usually see lava flow activity. but it isn't completely without having had hazards in the past. there have been in this area, but i think what was so unpredictable about this flow is its longevity. it's been supplying, as you last segment mentioned is 13 kilometers away, and while the

supply continues uninterrupted until it reaches the sea, i think there's some expectations that it would stop before then. the flow would be cut off and a new flow would issue from a different quadrant of the volca volcano. >> all right. professor ken ruben, thank you so much for joining us via skype. apologies, a few audio problems there. that comes with the territory when we're dealing with skype, of course. but do appreciate you talking with us and our viewers across the globe. thank you so much. well, north korea faces more scrutiny and a call to court for a u.n. investigator. it's happening as the nation's leaders go on something akip to a charm offensive. is there more to this than meets the eye. we'll take a look. plus, why the uk says it won't support missions to rescue migrants trying to cross the mediterranean sea. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better

>> a u.n. special investigator said it's time to hold north korea accountable for crime against its own people. in a report to the u.n., the official detailed a litany of human rights abuses targeting people inside the communist country who don't comply with the system. and he recommended the pyongyang be referred to the international criminal court. >> incontrovertibly and on reasonable grounds.

and people who have defected from north korea tell disturbing details of abuse inside that country. >> they say i'm from a traitor's family and then they beat m me with a wooden bat. i still have pains in my head and had to have surgery on my head four years ago. >> she said another brother was tied to a track and dragged for 45 kim meters. a pack of guard dogs broke free and attacked five children in the camp. we want to warn you that the description is very graphic.

>> tles speculation about kim jong un's grip on power. north korea suggested an apology from the u.s. could free remaining americans kenneth bae and matthew todd miller. >> our hope is that they will recognize the goodwill that could be built and the gesture that it would offer to the world of their willingness to try to open up a different diplomatic track. >> a diplomatic track with rare diplomatic moves by the north. holding talks this month with south korea. negotiating with japan about the fate of its citizens kidnapped decades ago and fanning diplomats out across the globe

to soften its image. this week, a senior north korean diplomat in new york gave a public address calling for dialogue with the world. victor chau believes the diplomatic charm offensive is less about a new opening and a more tactical move, to avoid condemnation of the regime and its leaders at the united nations over north korea's human rights record. >> they see a steady drum beat of angry in the international community at north korea's human rights abuses. and they're worried that it may actually come to fruition in terms of something quite substantial. the north is making some worry system nuclear advances. >> they've reached out to other countries. i think that's probably been a bit of a change. right underneath that, at the very same time, they've continued to pace their development of missile systems,

nuclear systems. they're working very hard at that. >> the obama administration is waiting to seize on these by the north to try to restart nuclear talks. however, the judge responsible for the u.n. investigation into north korea's human rights record said this is a moment of ruth that can't be traded away for a bit of charm. the united kingdom has announced it is omting out of future missions to find and rescue migrants in the mediterranean sea. italy has already saved thousands of people who make the dangerous crossing to europe from africa and the middle east. that mission is also coming to an end. >> crammed and desperate, these migrants make the perilous journey to europe. it's a scene that's played out time and time again, across the mediterrane mediterranean. but for many, their european dream may remain just that. as countries pull out on key search and rescue operations.

the u.n. is the latest to withdraw its report. the foreign office says we do not support planned search and rescue operations in the mediterrane mediterranean. we believe that they create an unintended pull factor, encouraging more migrants to attempt the dangerous sea crossing and thereby leading to more tragic and unnecessary deaths. it comes the marinostrum draws close within a week. they've rescued 150,000 people from the mediterranean. that's 400 people a day. almost half are those arriving this year are syrian departing from libya. despite the best efforts, some 3,000 mie grants have drowned or gone missing. for italy, it has been a dramatic operation. and at a cost of more than 11

million a month, it has proven unsustainable. >> 70% of these people who come from africa to italy is come from might be la. and libya is a place in which after the strikes, of the past, nobody solved the problem of democracy and of integrity and of coalition in the country. >> it will be replaced with operation try tan, run by eu border agency frontex. their role -- exclusively border patrol. a move that's infuriating human rights groups. >> we're appalled by the european union's decision not to replace the italian search and rescue program with something similar. it's a retrograde step and it seemed the european union and

european government are oblivious to the fact there's a refugee crisis unfolding. >> another leader of the catholic church says evolution and creationism don't have to be at odds while speaking to members of the pontiff call academy of science. proep francis says the theories of the big bang and evolution do not rule out god's creation. in fact, he believes evolution relies on creationism saying evolution in nature is not in contrast with the notion of divine creation, because evolution requires the creation of the beings that evolve. google wants to take the term search engine to a whole new level. its research lab is using nano technology to develop a bill that can search the body for cancer and other diseases. the head of google's life
