a mid-air catastrophe leaves one pilot dead, another seriously injured. find out what we know of the crash of the virgin galactic space ship 2 coming up. the u.s. ebola debacle. you'll hear the harsh words one official had about the ruling. also, i think we are witnessing a new palestinian crisis. it's just a matter of time. >> tensions and fear in jerusalem. what sparked it this time and why some believe it could be a

watershed moment. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. you're watching cnn's newsroom. i'm natalie alan. a space ship crashed friday in southern california. branson's company says the experimental spaceship 2 suffered a serious in flight anomaly breaking apart high above the mohave dessert. it had just separated from the plane that carried it up 15,000 meters on the test flight. one pilot who was killed, the other who managed to parachute to the ground was seriously injured. ceo george whiteside said they are very sad. >> space is hard and today was a tough day. future rests in many ways on hard, hard days like this, but

we believe we owe it to the folks who were flying these vehicles as well as the folks who have been working so hard on them to understand this and move forward, which is what we'll do. >> virgin galactic founder said we've always known the road to space is extremely difficult and everything transportation system has to do with bad days early in their history. investigators will now try to determine exactly what caused friday's deadly tragedy. more on that from cnn's tom foreman. >> reporter: ground control lost contact with the experimental spacecraft 10:00 pacific time. it could seat six passengers, but during this test flight only two pilots were on board. it was carried into flight beneath an airplane.

>> there was a huge explosion. it didn't occur. i didn't see it. >> reporter: the company says the mission was going as planned, and even though they were trying a new rocket fuel mix, they had no signs of trouble until the apparently massive failure. >> we were flying a rocket motor today that had been thoroughly tested on the ground and had been through a qualification series and, of course, we expected no anomalies with the motor. >> reporter: what went wrong is anyone's guess. the wreckage in the mohave desert shows the ferocity of the crash. >> it's a large area. the aircraft is in several different pieces. we found one person who had obviously was deceased immediately. the other was transported to navy hospital. i do not have a condition.

when he left here it appeared to be major injuries, but we don't know if that's -- really what that means yet. >> reporter: it's a far cry from the ambitious hopes virgin galactic founder richard branson expressed earlier this year. >> 200 of the best engineers and technicians building them. now we're beginning the final stages of test flights in flight. by the end of this year, you know, we will eventually, you know, have gone into space. >> reporter: instead, it is another blow to the idea of privatized space travel and it comes only days after an explosion. it was a very tough week for the private space industry which has been growing and in so many ways looking up. tom foreman, cnn, washington. well, many wonder now how

the virgin galactic tragedy will affect the company's future plans for space travel. former washington post correspondent was a friend of the pilots. having covered the company's space program for several years, brenner is quite critical. >> i have to tell you that the enthusiasm that has been shown outwardly by virgin galactic and by sir richard certainly does not match at all with the technology behind the scenes and there's a big gap there. and there has been for quite some time. the space ship's last powered flight was back in january of this year, and after that there was a realization on the part of virgin galactic that the rocket

engines that they were using really had some very difficult problems and that they were going to need to rethink the way that they were approaching the flight to space and so they shut things down for a long time looking for a different solution. >> but not everyone agrees with brenner. former nasa astronaut mark kelly is taking issue with the journal's comments. here he is. >> flying in space is a difficult thing to do under any circumstance, and for a company like virgin galactic to try to do this with paying passengers, you've got to give them a lot of credit. this is the kind of thing that moves us forward, you know, as a civilization. getting private citizens flying into space and then using a spacecraft like this to travel around the globe, it's very promising. you're always going to have set backs. she said it's insurmountable.

it's not insurmountable. in test flights you have issues and then you work to fix the problem, you address the problem and then you fly and test again. >> we'll have more analysis of the crash coming up including what it could mean to the future of space tourism ambitions. that's in 20 minutes. kaci hickox, the nurse in the middle of the u.s. ebola quarantine debate is now free to leave the home. a day after hickox defied the ruling, a judge ruled they didn't make their case. he said hickox who has not shown any symptoms of ebola needs to be actively monitored. hickox skyped into her attorney's news conference and thanked her fellow health care workers in west africa. >> they are why i'm here. i hope that one day if i can meet some of them at the airport i can give them a big hug and

let them know that we were in this together and hopefully we've come out of this battle and learned something about what it means to treat people with compassion. >> maine's governor blasted the judge's ruling saying there's too much unknown about ebola to, quote, be so callous. a reporter asked the governor why his administration took hickox to court when she already said she would follow federal guidelines. >> she did not follow them. she was in contempt. she left. first of all, the lady came to maine. she said, i will quarantine until november 10th. then she said, but i'm going to stop in freeport for a couple of days and then the very next day, 5:00, she's out of there not telling us. the requirements were that she notify us on her movement and she chose not to.

she's told us we didn't have to -- she didn't have to and she wasn't going to. she has been very clear, and this is one of the disappointments is she's violated every promise she's made so far so i can't trust her. i don't trust her. >> yet again she is free to get out and fw. the united nations warns they will keep health care workers if they are not fit. these actions can do more harm than good. >> there's no scientific basis for putting them in quarantine unless there is a suggestion that they might have ebola. if they've got no symptoms, please think very hard before putting restrictions on them. we really don't want to jeopardize the effort to mobilize health workers. we don't want them feeling that they will be made unwelcome in

their countries of origin when they return. >> kaci hickox says she'd go back to west africa despite the risks. cnn's chris palomo shows how people fighting on the front lines are fighting to keep themselves safe. >> reporter: these volunteers are preparing for a daunting task. soon they'll travel from the united states to west africa to work on the front lines in the fight against ebola. >> we have a mock ebola treatment unit. we're training clinicians who are going to deploy to west africa to treat patients there how to protect themselves. >> reporter: they learn skills like putting on and removing protective equipment, drawing blood, and disposing of hazardous waste. >> every detail could mean a matter of life or death to you or people around you. >> reporter: dr. folk lee is planning to take these tips and

hopefully limit infection. >> all of the infections of health care workers and the deaths of health care workers, most of them are probably preventible if they had sufficient staffing, the equipment that we have here, space, supplies. >> we're teaching them how the virus is transmitted so that they know how to protect themselves so that they feel safe taking care of patients. >> reporter: the training helps. the volunteers still face a formidable foe. >> whoever tells you they're not anxious about going to liberia working in an ebola area, they're not be truthful. >> coming up here, a welcome site on the road to kobani. kurdish reinforcements have finally made it to the strategic town. up next, an update on their

fight to take that town back from isis. up next, isis is going to open a site in the east. that isn't going to stop a growing anger from the palestinians. >> clashes like this in palestinian areas in jerusalem on a friday afternoon, let's keep moving, they're not unusual, but everyone will tell you, the anger here in recent weeks is growing.

israel has partially reopened one of jerusalem's holiest sites. only muslim women and men age 50 and above were able to attend friday prayers at the nobel sanctuary known as the temple mount to jews. it was closed tuesday after the shooting of a controversial shooting of an activist. in gaza palestinians held a day of rage to protest the closure. thousands marched through the streets condemning israel for shutting down islam's third holiest site. while around 4,000 muslims peacefully prayed at the nobel sanctuary, violence broke out in other parts of jerusalem and our cnn crew was right there. here's phil black. >> reporter: there is a broad consensus, the ongoing atmosphere in jerusalem is the most tense it has been in about a decade, and that's why it was feared. the decision to block access to

the palestinian's most sacred place of worship has the potential to spark a new wave of violence across the city. friday afternoon in the palestinian neighborhoods of jerusalem, fireworks and rocks thrown at u.n. security forces. firing, tear gas, okay? clashes like this in palestinian areas of jerusalem with police on a friday afternoon, let's keep moving. they're not unusual, but everyone will tell you, the anger here in recent weeks is growing. it is this place that is the focus of much recent anger and violence. palestinians call it the nobel sanctuary. two of islam's most holy sites. it is also holy for many jews who know it as temple mount. under existing rules jews can

visit but they can't pray here. they have provoked palestinian rage by campaigning to fight that. the jews must have further access to temple mount. he was shot four times and he survived and underwent surgery on friday. the suspected shooter, a palestinian, was later shot and killed by israeli police. they say he fired first when they tried to arrest him. his father tells me he does not condemn his son. >> if he do it, he have the right because normal thing, equal resistance. >> reporter: friday morning thousands of palestinians were forced to pry in the city streets. israeli authorities fearing more violence initially blocked public access to the mosque. the restriction slightly loosened later allowing only

women and men over 50. >> this is something related to our religion, to our creed. they are committing a big mistake if they continuing preventing us from going to our mosque. >> reporter: when perez finished, the clashes began again in jerusalem and the west bank. in gaza, thousands rallied in the streets. some palestinian leaders made ominous predictions. >> i think we are witnessing an immy nant, new palestinian uprising. it's just a matter of time. >> reporter: israel's government is calling for calm and on friday the rain helped cool the violence onner residential rus is a lem's streets, but it didn't wash away the anger. the right wing activist has undergone one operation. he was shot through the lung, his intestine. one bullet shot through one

fighters have entered the town. they crossed over the turkish syrian border after arriving from iraq. the heavily armed convoy was headed for a strategic hill on the western side of the town. some 20 to 30 million kurds live in the mountainous regions close to isis controlled land. ivan watson has been bringing stories on kurds in the middle east for over a decade, and as ivan explains, the fight against isis holds a deep stake for the kurdish people. >> reporter: the kurds have long been described as the world's largest ethnic group without a country of its own. they are poorly understood, often ignored. now when i first traveled to the kurdish areas of turkey, syria and iraq in 2002, and they are a people that have long been divided by borders, by

linguistic differences, by politics and occupations in assimilation as well. a lot has changed in the subsequent 12 years. for instance, when i first traveled from the kurdish part of syria to iraq, i had to go by boat across this river. today there's a bridge there, and in august we watched this incredibly disturbing site of tens of thousands of kurds streaming across that bridge fleeing the offensive by isis militants. on this trip we went the opposite direction into the kurdish part of syria and got an introduction to the syrian/kurdish fighters who have been fighting isis for more than a year, and what's very striking is how much women are playing a front line role in that war and in the leadership of the kurdish enclaves of northern syria that have grown up in the midst of a civil war over the past three years. we see very much that gender equality is important there, and

that's astounding when you consider their enemies, their isis, which have been hiding women away from public life. and as we also learned, have been accused of kidnapping thousands. i'm talking thousands of kurdish women in iraq who come from the yazidi religious minority. they're viewed as infidels which have justified their enslavement of these women arguing that it is allowed within the muslim holy book, the koran. the iraqi/kurdish authorities are calling this a genocidal policy. the scale of this kidnapping is mind blowing, barbaric, and frankly hard to even comprehend, even for somebody like me who's been traveling through these blood-soaked lands for more than a decade. ivan watson, cnn, reporting from istanbul. well, the united states may

send military advisors to iraq's anbar province to help in the fight against isis, which would, of course, help the kurds that ivan just reported on. anbar is the terror group's strong hold, and the chief u.s. security correspondent jim chute tow tells us they want the help. >> reporter: anbar is one of the most volatile provinces in iraq. a powerful basis for isis just west of baghdad and scene of some of the fiercest fighting, including the isis massacre of 400 sunni tribesman in just two days this week. now the pentagon is developing a plan to send u.s. military advisors to anbar. they tell cnn, quote, this will better enable the iraqi security forces to protect themselves and to take the fight to isis. >> we need to expand the train, advise, and assist mission into

the anbar province, but the precondition for that is that the government of iraq is willing to arm the tribes. by the way, we have positive indications that they are, but we haven't begun to do it yet. >> the plan is implemented would expand the military's so-called train and assist mission beyond irbil. the anbar province, isis controls 80%. iraqi forces clearly need their help. this week as hundreds of sunni tribes men were slaughtered in anbar, they were confined to defensive positions, a posture the pentagon says will not change for months. local tribal leaders complain they're desperate for the iraqi military's help. >> translator: i contacted them and they did not say no to me. i was promised airstrikes by the iraqi air force, but it did not happen. >> reporter: sending u.s. advisors to anbar would help them open the door to the

establishment of an iraqi national guard, including sunni tribes seen as crucial, undermining isis to support under iraq's embattled sunni minority. >> it's important that the iraqi security forces continue to reach out to the sunni tribes on their own and continue to bring them into the fold. >> reporter: where these u.s. military advisors might be deployed in anbar hasn't been determined. there are still some cities and towns under iraqi control. they would be deployed as they are in baghdad and irbil to the command headquarters and not out on the front lines. jim sciuotto, cnn, washington. ahead here, a break through for a u.s. marine who has spent months in a mexican prison. we'll tell you why he was there. also, we'll take a closer look at the deadly crash of the spaceship intended to one day cary civilians out of this world. the wrinkle cream graveyard. also ahead, no longer just a

in the u.s. and around the world. you're watching cnn live news coverage. i'm natalie allen. our top stories, disaster for richard branson's virgin galactic spaceship two. it breaks up high above california's mohave desert. it had just separated from the plane carrying it. one pilot was killed, the other seriously injured. branson says there was extensive ground testing of all parts of the space ship. it's unclear right now who is leading the west african nation in the wake of the president's resignation. the lieutenant colonel announced he's the new head of state but

earlier the general in charge of the armed forces said the same. they told the news that lace kampori is in a safe place. the family of a 14-year-old says their hearts are broken after her death one week after a school shooting in the united states. she died friday in washington state. the third victim to die. the shooter, jaylen fryberg killed himself in the school cafeteria. kaci hickox, the u.s. nurse who hasn't shown any signs of ebola, is now free from her quarantine orders. a judge in maine ruled health officials had not made the case for her quarantine. he does want hickox to be actively monitored. hickox was helping with ebola patients in west africa. investigators are now looking for the cause of virgin galactic's deadly crash in california. friday's test flight went horribly wrong with the spaceship suddenly separating

high above southern california. the search for answers will mean examining a number of things. this was some of the discussion on anderson cooper's "a c360." >> police are focusing on the different fuel formula which they're announcing had been used today. but what role that played is simply unknown. indeed, what role the engine played or whether it was a structural failure. what we can say looking at those a.p. pictures and what you can say looking at the debris field is that after the separation was this catastrophic incident, but you would expect to see a large plume. you'd expect to see a flame because obviously the engine was going to be ignited, and then the spacecraft breaks up. now that might be stating the blinding obvious, but you really at this point, anderson, cannot go one stage further because the reasons for that breakup and that we do know clearly there was a break jun because of the debris field being so wide, we

can't go any further than that. it may be unhelpful and unsatisfying for some, that's the safest course tonight. >> i'd rather do that than go down the road of speculation. there's no point of that. the new fuel mixture which richard mentioned, again, we don't know if that was involved in this crash, why at this stage of the development of the spacecraft would they be trying a new fuel mixture, do we know? >> the old fuel mixture wasn't doing the job, anderson. they had been working on it for literally ten years since the space ship 1, the predecessor aircraft. it was a rubbery mix with nitrous oxide. it was a rough ride. it wasn't delivering enough of the specific impulse they call it or power in essence. i think there are some clues in those photos if we could go through them quickly if we have time. i think we could get a cursory idea of what happened. as you look in that first shot, you see that it's just

separated. the two craft are separated. you see the plume looks very bright and distinct. as we go to the second shot, you'll notice the plume is not as distinct and bright as it was before. >> the spacecraft on the right is -- >> yes. >> -- that's the galactic spacecraft. >> i'm sorry. i'm glad you characterized that. to the left is the mother spaceship and to the left is the rocket. it looks like a string of pearls as if it's sputtering. that's a very important clue. now look at the next shot and you can see that isn't really necessarily an explosion as it is an in-flight breakup. you look at all the pieces in the trail interest. one of the things they might want to be looking at here is was there some sort of rupture in the fuel tank? now what that would do is it would cause obviously pieces to fall off, it would cause the sputtering effect. it could also cause some sort of asymmetrical thrust which could cause a further breakup, so

that's in the realm of possibility. when people say this, vehicle exploded, i don't see any evidence so far that that is the case. >> can -- i mean, looking at these images though, it's remarkable to think that a pilot was able to parachute out. >> it's amazing what people can survive if you look through history at some of the crashes where pilots have made it. it's one of the reasons we think it's a good idea to give people aboard spacecraft some way to get out, some sort of an escape system. even in the worst cases it's possible for people to actuate an escape system and get away from a failing vehicle. >> do we know, miles, is there an ejection seat? or is it you open up the hatch? how do you get out, do you know? >> here's how they do it. first of all, they're not wearing full pressure suits which is the way we -- the shuttle astronauts used to fly before challenger, the challenger accident. they're wearing a flight suit, helmet and some oxygen. they have -- believe it or not,

they have a rope netting that allows them to pull themselves to the door if they need to bail out. obviously they have a parachute, but there's no ejection seats aboard this craft. >> richard, as we said richard branson is flying to the mohave desert. you have interviewed him. you have no doubt this is not going to stop him from space exploration? >> i can't see it will be unless it has such a fundamental effect upon him and the organization but listening to what the ceo was saying a moment ago, people don't go into this industry, they don't go down this route if they're going to be put off by set backs, tragic ones though they are. remember, richard branson has dished on two around the world balloon attacks. he's been across the ocean in a speed boat and won the blue ribbon. this is a man who is not feint hearted when it comes to risk. now, is he going to obviously pause for thought? absolutely. will this delay the final result of virgin galactic?

without doubt. but i would -- it would be a very -- i cannot see him tonight turning the lights off. >> we'll continue to bring you any more developments on that tragedy there in california. over 40 students missing in mexico yet to be found after a month, and as mexican officials search for clues, families are fed up and furious. that story ahead here. also, locking down the virtual vault. how to keep your personal information away from hackers.

well, new video of a u.s. marine back on american soil after being freed from a mexican jail. that's him getting on the plane. 26-year-old andrew tahmooressi was arrested on gun charges in march after customers agents found weapons and ammunition in his truck at a tijuana checkpoint. tahmooressi insisted he simply made a wrong turn on the u.s. side of the border. well, for more than a month now mexican authorities have not been able to find 43 students who seem to have vanished without a trace. it's a case that has shocked many mexicans already weary of drug crime. on september 26th the group of all male students from a teacher's college near iguala went missing. the case sparked protests across the country. last week arrest warrants were issued for the former mayor of the city and his wife. that's them. mexico's attorney general

accused them of being the master minds behind the kidnapping, and just days ago investigators found a mass grave in a dump. they were led there by two suspects arrested in the investigation. no word yet if any of the remains are of the students. well, families of some of the students confronting mexico's president wednesday during a five-hour meeting they demanded he do more to find their sons. cnn spoke to one mother who shared her anguish. >> reporter: it's been more than a month since 43 students went missing in mexico. yesterday their parents had a meeting with the president. they signed an agreement of ten points, but regardless of that agreement, families are not satisfied. today i had the opportunity to talk to one of the moms of the kids. this is what she has to say. >> translator: yes, i feel more at peace because he signed a

contract where he promises to do all he can to intensify the search so, yes, that leaves me more at peace, but of course i won't rest until i have my son in front of me. >> who is your son george? >> translator: he was centered, well educated. he liked sports. when he was a baby, i told me i was his everything. because he was my youngest, i always told him, son, you're everything to me. i didn't want him to study in this school because in 2011 two students were killed here, but he insisted. i asked president obama to help us. i asked him through the media that he had to help us because over there if someone loses even a hair, they can find it, and here they found many dead, but i said that they had to find our kids alive, not dead. for me, he's not dead.

he's been kidnapped by the government. i feel that he's close. i feel that he will come back because i know that's how it will be. >> like the mother i just spoke to, the families still hold out hope of finding their sons alive. well, it's billed as haitian idol. a concert drawing tens of thousands in the capitol that aims to shine a line light on modern day slavery in haiti. here's cnn's michael holmes. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: it's music with a message. ♪ 6. >> reporter: 20,000 haitians at the national soccer stadium cheering along to a dozen artists all performing their original songs of freedom. haiti has the distinction of being the only country ever

formed as a result of a successful slave revolt. now the country's young people are joining efforts to abolish what the united nations calls a form of modern day slavery. >> this is a big social issue in haiti. it's systemic of so many of the social problems here, from gender based violence to illiteracy to poverty. >> reporter: she's founder of a foundation. a term derived from french means to stay with. >> so many adults have gone through restiveck. they're hurting people. we want to stem the tide. this is what it's all about. >> reporter: in 2011 the cnn freedom project a lock with the grammy award winning artist common traveled to haiti to learn more about the restivick system. originally developed as a way for children from rural areas to

attend school by staying with relatives, a positive cultural practice has over time evolved into something far different. children we met said they were given away to other families because their parents could not afford to care for them. the girls were made to do chores, fetch water, go to the market. >> these people were here tonight to say no more. we're done with this. >> reporter: that's why this concert was so important. music can inspire action and a community to self-reflect. >> it's bigger than we ever dreamed it would possibly be, but the reason for that is because haitians have taken this on as their issue. >> with its massive turnout, it was clear this was a message many are ready to hear. michael holmes, cnn. well, a rare site in chicago. waves coming ashore on lake

across the upper midwest of the united states, but what's particularly interesting is the direction and the strength of the wind over the past 24 and 48 hours. it has been almost from the due north and that means this runs parallel with lake michigan. we've got the above-average lake levels. in fact, the highest lake levels since the middle '90s. we have a strong northerly wind compounding the effect and the water and that eventually impacts the bottom shore liends right near chicago and of course lake shore drive. in fact, the national weather service has issued what is called lake shore flood advisories for chicago. that will continue into saturday. waves across the southern portions of lake michigan between 12 and 18 feet. they're advising people to stay off the piers and sidewalks across that area. well, thanks to this cold front our temperatures have gone for a nose dive and near the atlanta
