>r a fatal failure forthe spacecraft leaves many wondering about the jerusalem's most holy site is partially open. tensions remain high. we are live in the city this morning. one of the most recognizable war symbols finds a new form. it's not without controversy. the pop wii hijab debate, coming up. welcome to viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie allen. we will persevere and move forward. the words of branson. his spaceship two suffered an anomaly breaking apart above california's mohabe desert.
1:01 am
one pilot killed, the other seriously injured after he managed to open his parachute. investigators will try to figure out what happened. we have more from tom foreman. >> ground control lost contact around 10:00 pacific time. the half billion dollar rocket craft could seat six passengers. during the test flight, two pilots on board. the spaceship is carried beneath the 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. they were trying a new rocket fuel mix there were no signs of trouble until the massive failure. >> flying a rocket loader today that had been thoroughly tested on the ground and through a qualification series. >> reporter: what went wrong is
1:02 am
anyone's guess. the ship is designed to fly 62 miles above the earth. the wreckage a problem. authorities say one pilot was killed and the other seriously injured. >> it's a large area. the aircraft is in several different pieces. we found one person who obviously was deceased immediately. the other was transported to the hospital. i do not have the condition. it appeared to be major injuries but we don't know what that means, yet. >> reporter: it's a far cry from the hopes the founder, richard branson expressed earlier this year. >> 200 of the best engineers and technicians building them. we are beginning the final stages of test flights in
1:03 am
flight. by the end of this year, we will have actually have gone into space. >> instead, a blow to the idea of privatized space travel. it comes days after a spectacular launch pad explosion in virginia, a blast that involved a spacecraft, once again, manufactured by a private company. >> it was a tough week for the space industry, which has been growing and looking up. tom foreman, cnn, washington. virgin galactic founder released a statement saying all our thoughts are with the family. we are doing everything we can to support them. we have always known the road to space is extremely difficult and every transportation system has to deal with bad days early in their history. many wonder how the virgin galactic tragedy affects the
1:04 am
plans for space travel. joel brenner was a friend of the pilot having covered the space program for many years. brenner is quite critical. >> i have to tell you that the enthusiasm that has been shown outwardly by virgin galactic and by richard certainly does not match at all with the technology behind the scenes. and, um, there's a big gap there. and has been for quite some time. the spaceship's last power flight was back in january of this year and after that, um, there was realization on the part of virgin galactic that is rocket engine they were using really had some very difficult
1:05 am
problems and that they were going to need to rethink the way they were approaching the flight to space and so they shut things down for a long time looking for a different solution. >> virgin galactic spaceship 2 was using a new fuel combination. they say the new formulation was proven and tested numerous times on the ground. we asked astrophysicist about that. >> the ceo of scale, the president of scale who made that, oh, it's just a nuance comment, i think it was disengeneralious. when you change the propellant in a rocket, it's a big design change. this was a critical test for them and they don't have a way of flying this, you know, without people aboard. so, they had to do it at some
1:06 am
point. yeah, it's certainly an area where investigators are looking. that was the big thing on this flight. richard branson's dream of civilian space travel started almost ten years ago, assuming testing went according to plan. virgin galactic aimed to put tourists in space next year. dan simon has more on the project that took a tragic turn. >> reporter: for $250,000 a ride, this is the vehicle designed to take well heeled passengers to space. the virgin galactic spaceship two is a suborbital vehicle where you get a sense of weightlessness and view earth. within three years, they had more than $31 million in deposits from enthusiastic space tourists. what are your ambitions for
1:07 am
virgin galactic? what would you like to see happen with it? >> i love to dream. we have plenty of ambitions for that in galactic. our initial ambitions are to create more astronauts in a year than nasa created astronauts in 60 years. so, you know, that's going to be tremendously exciting to do. that will start in about a year's time. >> reporter: that turned out to be overly ambitious. i interviewed him in 2011 as spaceship ii traveled to san francisco. it's the first time a spaceship landed at an airport. >> fasten your seatbelts. once in space, you are unbuckled. you look back at earth through these wonderful big windows we've got in the spaceship. you float around and you have the ride of a lifetime and become an astronaut.
1:08 am
>> reporter: spaceship ii is designed to work like this, carried under a mother ship. then, once it reaches an altitude of 50,000 feet, it's released traveling 62 miles above the earth. on its website, they say safety is the north star and is engrained in the culture of our operation. >> i'm not going to take my son into space until i'm sure we have everything right. the team won't let me go into space until they are sure we have everything right. >>reporter: the project includes 300 of the best rocket scientists in the world. if the test flights were successful, space tourism could begin as early as next year. with the mishap, there are major questions about the future of the project. dan simon, cnn, san francisco.

1:10 am
1:11 am
kurdish reinforcement arrived. more than 100 peshmerga fighters crossed over the border. they arrived from iraq, but they accused turkey of delaying their entry. they were seen traveling toward a strategic hill on the western side of the city. let's bring in nick payton wall sh. they were seen cheering as they rolled in. they seem confident. >> reporter: certainly, this has been long awaited. they finally managed to enact that in the dead of night. we heard from witnesses, turkish military escorting the vehicles in. we don't know if that is the entirety of the peshmerga. over 30 vehicles and 150 plus militants. we know someone counted at least 100 going in.
1:12 am
this is long awaited. that's about 100 kilometers from where i'm standing. they were there gathering, preparing the grounds, sent nine to ten scouts in to see the best way to affect their entry. they went in through the west hand side of the city, instead. that is more controlled by the kurds. one kurdish fighter telling us, it was a remarkable moment to feel that sense of kurdish unity when the iraqi kurds from northern iraq had come to the rescue of their seron kurdish brothers. the question now is what difference does the arrival make on the ground. they have the vehicles required to embolden the kurds. what is isis going to do in response. the city of kobani becoming a symbol against their will. the ability to get a win, one
1:13 am
over the other. we have to see if we have the reinforcement to try to fight back now. natalie? >> you are right. u.s. air strikes have been pounding kobani, correct? and haven't been able to get isis out. do we have any idea how many isis fighters are there? you did mention that the peshmerga troops are well equipped. are they more heavily equipped than the isis militants? >> reporter: isis have a remarkable array they managed to steal. so, they have quite a remarkable amount of weapons, including humvees, all u.s. supplies. the peshmerga do have good weapons. we have no idea how many isis are in that particular city. we know the pentagon said, at
1:14 am
one point, hundreds had been killed. the human rights put out a figure four or five days ago, 451 isis were being killed in the fight. they have thousands trying to secure kobani. it's a difficult task. the air power means they can't move in large convoys to resupply. we have to see what the next move is and what they bring with them, heavy weapons, truck-mounted machine guns. that could change the fight to some degree. natalie? >> we know it is certainly about to heat up in kobani. nick payton walsh, thank you. the cnn senior correspondent, ivan watson brought to us for more than a decade. the syrian kurdish fighters have a unique stake in their battle against isis.
1:15 am
>> reporter: the kurds have long been described as the largest ethnic group without a country of its own. they are poorly misunderstood and often ignored. when i first traveled to the kurdish areas of turkey, syria and iraq in 2002. they are a people that have long been divided by borders, linguistic differences, politics and occupation and 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. in august, we watched this incredibly disturbing sight of tens of thousands of kurds streaming across that bridge, fleeing the offensive by isis militan militants. on this trip, we went the
1:16 am
opposite direction into the kurdish part of syria and got an introduction to the syrian kurdish fighters fighting isis for more than a year. what is striking is how much women are playing a front line roll in the war and 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 genter equality is important there and that's astounding when you consider their enemies, isis, which have been hiding women away from public life. and, as we learned, have been accused of kidnapping thousands. i'm talking thousands of kurdish women in iraq who come from the minorities. they are viewed as infidels. arguing that it is allowed within the muslim holy book, the
1:17 am
koran. the iraqi kurdish authorities are calling it a genocidal policy. the scale of the kidnapping is mind blowing, barbaric and frankly hard to comprehend, even for somebody like me who has been traveling through the blood-soaked lands for more than a decade. ivan watson, cnn, reporting from istanbul. u.s. military advisers could be on the way to iraq's province soon. that is an isis stronghold. a correspondent reports iraqi forces very much want to help. >> reporter: this is one of the most volatile provinces in iraq. a powerful base for isis just west of baghdad. a scene of some of the fiercest fighting, including the isis massacre of 400 sunni tribesmen
1:18 am
in two days this week. now the pentagon is developing a plan to send u.s. military advisers. a u.s. military official says this will better enable to forces to protect themselves and take the fight to isis. >> we need to expand the assist mission into the province. but the pre-condition of that is the government of iraq is willing to arm them. we have positive indications they are, but we haven't begun to do it. >> reporter: the plan would expand the train and assist mission beyond baghdad and erbil. they are safe from isis. isis controlled some 80% of anbar province. they clearly need their help. hundreds of sunni tribesmen were slaughtered, they were confined to defensive positions.
1:19 am
it will not change for months. local tribal leaders complain they are desperate for the iraqi military's help. >> translator: icon tacted them. they did not say no to me. i was promised air strikes by the air force, but it did not happen. >> reporter: military officials open the door to an iraqi national guard, including sunni tribes. >> it's important that the iraqi security forces continue to reach out to the sunni tribes on their own and bring them into the fold. >> reporter: where the military advisers may be deployed in anbar is not known. advisers would be deployed as they are in baghdad and erbil. not out on the front line. jim shooto, cnn, washington.

government grow louder, rafael romo reports on a grim new discovery. >> reporter: behind the yellow tape, a grisly discovery. hard to say if the bodies belong to 43 students missing for more than a month. the mexican federal police have been looking all over the region for students of a rural college. they disappeared in september on a protest 200 miles south of mexico city. local police officers on the payroll of a criminal organization kidnapped the students under orders from the town's mayor. that mayor, his wife and chief of police are now considered fugitives. protesters say the mexican government isn't doing enough to find the students. [ speaking foreign language ]
1:26 am
>> to counter the criticism, the mexican president met with parents of the students this week and promised the full support of the federal government in the investigation. the president also announced the creation of the commission to oversee the effort to find the missing. [ speaking foreign language ] >> this father of a missing student says the parents won't believe the president's promises until they deliver all 43 missing students alive. for the families of the disappeared, the wait has been excruciating. in an interview with cnn in spanish, she remembers her son as a baby. he used to tell me i was everything for him and i would tell him he was everything for me as well. right now, the families have nothing, not even a hint of whether their loved ones are alive or where they might have been taken. rafael romo, cnn, atlanta.

our story is next. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.
1:40 am
eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

muslim's who serve in the british army. including the first to receive the victoria cross. >> 1.2 million indian soldiers, 400,000 of them were muslim. it hit home to me. it's part of my heritage and who i am. >> reporter: online, the scarf had a mixed reflection with some mocking it. they say it is a choice, not a test and can be worn by anyone, muslim or not. >> one thing that is really intrin sit is the idea we have a choice. that, for me, is quite significant. that's what people fought for, so we could have a choice. >> in a neighborhood of the east london mosque, the reviews are positive. >> definitely, yeah. sometime we wear the popties. why not wear it on the hijab?
1:44 am
>> i have so much respect for soldiers that fight for the country. it's a special way for people to represent that you do that by wearing the poppy. if it's a head scarf as well, it's great. >> as long as it goes with the outfit, i don't see why not. >> simply fashion, a spiritual belief or political statement. choosing to wear or not to wear the poppy is a personal choice. cnn, london. speaking of world war i, the british government will pay off some of their loans left over from the war, 218 million pounds, to be exact or $350 million. the first time the uk will make payments in more than 67 years thanks to the program set up by that man, winston churchill.
