well, are you up bright and early? and you've got a whole extra morning to brag about it. >> 6:00, 6:00 now. we hate daylight saving time in the spring but love it in the fall. >> hey, listen. we need to start with some overnight developments in the virgin galactic explosion. >> we're learning it could take up to a year before investigators learn what happened during friday's test flight. this space plane broke apart above the mojave desert.

investigators have now identified the two brave pilots on board. >> 39 year old michael asbury who was killed had nearly 2,000 hours of flight experience. >> the second pilot, peter siebold, survived and is rye cov -- recovering in the hospital. critical flight data will likely answer the question, what went wrong. >> because it was a test flight, it was heavily documented in ways we don't normally see. we know with six cameras on the vehicle itself, six sources of volatile information. three cameras on the mothership, the white knight. there was a range camera at edwards air force base that we'll be using that had visual contact with the aircraft. the wreckage is located in a

large area oriented northeast to southwest about 5 miles from end to end. and when the wreckage is disbursed like that, that indicates the likelihood of in-flight break up. the question is, have we identified the surviving pilot, we have not, because the doctors do not recommend we do an interview at this date. so we are in contact with the surviving pilot's wife, and we don't want to interview that pilot before the pilot is ready. >> virgin galactic owner, richard branson is expressing his sympathy to the pilots and vowing to find answers here. >> the bravery of test pilots, generally cannot be overstated. nobody underestimates the risks involved in space travel. and we're not going to push on blindly. to do so would be an insult to all those affected by this tragedy. >> no doubt investigators have a lot of work, a big job ahead of

them as they're trying to comb through these pieces left there on the mojave desert floor, they're trying to put together the answer to what happened. what caused something like this. >> cnn's stephanie elam has more from the crash site in the mojave desert. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: we've now learned more about the pilots. the pilot who lost his life, his name was michael as bulsbury. he was 39 years old. the pilot who survived is peter siebold and is 43 years old. we know that the entire virgin galactic community is trying to figure out ha happens from here on out. this set back is huge, not just because of the fact that they lost this spacecraft but because of the lost of life. so what happens going forward depends on what the ntsb discovers. they did arrive in the desert and is looking into the crash.

they were a part of the columbia crash and the challenger crash as well. they had a little more than a dozen people here and perhaps more than they would normally have at a plane crash because it is slightly different. but they are encouraged that because it is a test flight that hopefully the data they were collecting would give them clues as to what went on. sir richard branson was here and did convey concern over the loss of life and what this will mean for the project, but it was clear three would like to see these commercial flights into space to continue. >> yesterday we fell short. we'll now comprehensively assess the results of the crash and learn from this and move forward together as a group of friends and a company. we owe it to our test pilots to find out exactly what went on,

and once we found out what went wrong, if we can overcome it, we can make absolutely certain that the dream lives on. >> at this point they are focussing on what went wrong in this accident. and they do plan on moving forward. what that plan looks like going forward, that's what everyone would like to know. >> thank you very much. and be sure to stay with us. we'll take you inside virgin galactic's manufacturing facility. earlier this year we got a chance to go into this area where spaceshiptwo and other space planes are built. we'll take you there. let's go to iraq now. tens of thousands say they are willing and ready to take on isis but they want help from the iraqi government and the u.s. they've abducted 50 of the tribes men and it's feared

they've been killed. nick payton walsh is joining us from southeastern turkey. the tribes men are saying they need weapons. is the iraqi government willing and able to arm them, first of all? >> reporter: well, it's an extraordinarily complex question, what the iraqi government's willing to do. they have on the surface said they need to be behind the movements. it would be sunni tribes disgruntled with isis running the areas they live in. that hasn't happened. it's going to be very hard for the iraqi government to control. but the same sunni areas distrusted the government of maliki, the former prime minister. the new prime minister, are they able to rebuild that trust? well, they've been slow, certainly, to do it so far. so deep concerns unless this

tribe near hit in anbar, who are facing the most pressure at the moment, only this morning through early morning yesterday. 50 tribes men of theirs were abducted, and the faces of women and children are unknown. unless they get solid support from the iraqi government it will be very hard for them to effectively intervene. and this is key to the strategy. such tribes like this have historically resisted al qaeda in the past and now feel great anger towards isis, that they're left hanging by the iraqi government, that would be a major failing. >> so, nick, what do you think the u.s. can do to provide help in this instance? >> reporter: well, they might send advisers to anbar to try and bolster the iraqi security

forces there. they have dropped in 7,000 halal males. so long as the u.s. doesn't to put boots on the ground, it's going to be dependent on these sunni tribes and the iraqi government to get together and decide to push against isis themselves. that, so far, has been an elusive prospect. each time reports of massacres like this, these 50 tribes men make up hundreds who have been disappeared or killed by isis in the past week or so. each time these reports come through, the tragedy mounts. each week that slips by without some kind of cohesive strategy makes it so much harder for the reality of a sunni uprising

against isis to actually happen in an effective way. >> nick payton walsh. we appreciate it so much. thank you. we're two days out from the mid-term elections. if you feel you are a bit out of the loop, we've got you covered. what the candidates are asking for specifically. why they want your vote. >> do you see that cut on eric grain's nose?

welcome back to "new day." let's get you caught up with the morning read. sergeant andrew tamarassi was home in south florida yesterday after his release on humanitarian grounds. there he is. his lawyer tells cnn if the case had gone to trial, he would have won. >> those cuts on the bridge of eric freen's nose, they got them whether a team of u.s. marshals in pennsylvania captured him after seven weeks of searching. here's the storey. one of the marshals who helped detain freen was found chest down but looking up. the following protocol, officers forced his face into the asphalt so he couldn't anticipate their next move. >> what would you do with $4 billion? because that's how much tuesday's midterm elections are projected to cost. a quarter of it is dark money.

that means it was paid by anonymous sources. how that 25-s-18 fighter jet, maybe a grade school for 1,000 students or 100 ebola treatment centers. >> the start of the new york city marathon is just about three hours away. some of the celebrities due to tack this will 26.2 through the city's five boroughs, we have caroline wozniacki, former nfl running back tiki barber and terri hatcher and nba commissioner adam silver. >> they're bundling up, too. ooh is it chilly. race organizers issued a weather warning. jennifer grey has that. i do have to give a shoutout to my friend erica who is running. >> yes, good luck to all the runners. hats off to them. it is going to be cold. already starting out cold with a

wind chill. feels like 35 in new york city. at least we're not dealing with the rain. all the rain pushed out of the city. we're dealing with the winds in new york with gusts up to 25. and that marathon official forecast, here we go, that first wave at 9:40 this morning. winds will be out of the north-northwest at 22 miles per hour. temperatures will be at 43. with the winds, it's going to feel much cooler. you get between the buildings and it funnels through as well. it's going to be chilly. good luck to all the runners. >> amen to that. jennifer grey, thank you. >> midterm elections just two day as way. polls open on election day in 49 hours. so many races, so close and the prize is control of the senate, of course. >> there are so many different ways that this thing can go. tom foreman has a look at what we fleed to watch for come tuesday.

>> there are three key things we're watching in this midterm. the first is right here in the u.s. senate. the democrats have been in charge. we're showing them here in blue along with the two independents who caucused with them in purple. the republicans are expected to gain some seats here. the democrats are expected to lose some. but control of this chamber is going to come down to 9 or 10 very close races and the democrats have to win six or more of them if they want to remain in power here. the second thing we're looking at, the u.s. house of representatives, the republicans have had the majority here. that is not expected to change. the question is will they lose some seats or more likely will they pick up some? if sho, how? if they do it with tea party help, that could set up divisions within the republican party that the democrats might be able to exploit even from their minority position. that brings us to the third thing we're looking at which is the white house reaction to all

of this. if the president comes out swinging over a big loss and he completely alien yates republicans, they have a perfect excuse then to say we're going to make you the lamest of lame duck presidents with control of both chambers. if, however, he's too conciliatory towards the republicans, he could disspirit his own party. that could make it very tough for any other democrat who wants to win the white house in 2016. >> all right. tom foreman, we'll have a really interesting conversation with the leader of the college republicans and the young democrats. that's coming up later in the show. theret minute they're the mille that's can make a huge difference. get all your election coverage this tuesday at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >> isis is adept at recruiting fighters. how do they do it so well? we're going to show you how it uses one important tool to look

for a cause and why it's so different. also, we want to talk about this tragedy at sea. it's off the coast of san francisco. a rogue wave crashes into a boat full of passengers who were not wearing lifejackets. ine, marching band playing ] [ male announcer ] the rhythm of life.

so many people are asking shou isis able to recruit all around the world? well, we learned that, you know, one of the effective weapons is the internet. >> this terror group is mastering art of recruiting fires from around the world by grabbing their attention like a sci-fi movie.

the difference is this is real. the propaganda videos have all the high production of american tv. complete with english from a canadian. western audiences know. then there is this one, a movie trailer coming soon, it ends. this may verge on parody, the message is surprisingly attractive and effective. this gunman wanted to go to syr syria. he was in the canadian capital trying to get a passport. its not clear what motivated his attack. just days ago, three unidentified teenage girls two age 15 and one 17 after apparently talking online with isis recruiters fly from denver with plans to join isis. they're stopped in germany. douglas mcarthur mccain is a

basketball loving kid in minneapolis. he joins isis in syria and died there. all westerners and not isolated cases. intelligence experts say 1,000 westerners have joined isis, more than 100 of them american. they're interacting with them in real time. >> the way law enforcement has traditionally dealt with homegrown terror, surveillance, indictments. here in california, most of the leaders say in the age of social media, you simply cannot arrest your way out of this problem. if you want to defeat it, help must come from the community. the mus lick public apairs council rolled out the safe spaces initiative modelled after a gang prevention program, the idea is to work on prevention and places like mosques, intervene, and if necessary, call the police. >> these men who claim to be los

angeles gang members shot video of themselves in syria fighting for the assad regime, not isis. >> we're still gang banging. >> the root of the problem is the same. the disenfranchise, latching on to a rad cool kd. now community leaders say the u.s. government appears to be changing its strategy. >> surveillance hasn't worked. profiling hasn't worked. so let's try this. >> are you encouraged by that change? >> yes. very enhurnlged. i just feel like it's not happening fast enough. >> isis moving at the speed of social media, law enforcement fighting to keep up. >> in egypt, a video of a same sex wedding ceremony goes viral. and now eight men face the next three years behind bars. >> plus, cnn got access into virgin galactic's facility. we have a behind the scenes look for you at where this doomed

>> got it here in georgia, too. >> yeah, north of atlanta. what is driving this early winter blast in the south? let's bring in jennifer grey. it's too soon. >> columbia, south carolina, got the earliest snowfall on record. you sthee trouee this trough? it allowed for the cold air from can do da to dip down and invade a large portion of the south. that's what we dealt with for today. today the snow will be if maine. he would wwe could see up to a foot in some places. we'll he is very windy conditions. winds could be up to 50 mile per hour gusts with wind chills, of course, below freezing for tonight. so another very chilly day for the northeast. the snow has wrapped up though. we are looking at a very cold rain across north carolina and south carolina. here's your snow forecast. over the next 24 hours or so, we could see six to ten inches around bangor, maine.

so another snowy day for the northeast. current temperatures outside, 34 in atlanta. 28 in chicago. 42 in new york city. when you factor in that wind chill, look at these temperatures drop. it feels like 23 right now in atlanta. feeling like 33 in charlotte. feeling like 35 in new york city. we still have that freeze warning in effect. yes, even including southern states and this goes all the way down to the gulf of mexico. so all of this out still waking up, yeah, another day with chilly temperatures. they'll continue to warm up as we go through the next couple of days. look at this. we'll be back in the 60s tomorrow in atlanta as well as d.c. a lot of these cities will be close to 70 by the time we get to tuesday. so a very fast swing. the cold only lasting for a couple of days. >> something to look forward to. thank you, jennifer grey. >> i like the 30s. >> you can have it. >> you'll let me keep it. all right. what a unique look we have at

the virgin galactic here. we want to say first of all, don't expect answers as to what brought down that space ship. the on going investigation we understand may take up to a year. ntsb investigators will be back on the ground this morning as they look for the clues and they don't just have to find and recover debris that spans some five miles across the mojave desert, but they're going to spend months analyzing this wreckage. investigators also have not been able yet to talk to the surviving pilot. he is still in the hospital for treatment. we do not have word of his condition. his co-pilot died in that incident. virgin group founder says the pilot's bravery cannot be overstated. the goal of commercial space flight is i will unchanged. rachael crane gained access to the secret manufacturing facility in california. she's joining us now.

rachael, we really appreciate you being us with. first of all, the fact you were able to get into this facility, what struck you most about it? >> what struck me most is the stage in which they were in the development and manufacturing of the space ships. virgin galactic was hoping to have a fleet of five space ships. they were 60% done with space ship 2 and serial 2 when i was, there the second edition to the fleet. i actually got inside that space ship. there were no seats yet. the windows were there. they were working away. and the spirit of the people who were the engineers at the facility, they were incredibly dedicated to doing this. they were all expecting that these flights will be happening in just a matter of months. they were completely dedicated and all of them really space in other words themselves. >> is it true that these pilots, we've been reading about, were best friends? talk to us.

i'm wondering about the camaraderie of all the people involved. >> it's a very small community in mojave. actually, it's been reported that the children of both pilots were actually in school with one another. so this is certainly hitting home. it's incredibly tragic. and, yes, they are working side by side for years. so i think everybody in the community is feeling the blow of this catastrophe. >> since you have had rare access to the site there and you've been inside even this particular craft, what do you think is the future of virgin galactic and the facility as it stands? >> just to be clear, i was not inside the craft that actually crashed. it was space ship 2 serial 2 that i was in which is the next addition to the fleet. this catastrophe is obviously a huge blow to space tourism. it is an industry that is dependent on the public's perception of their ability to carry out these missions safely. now richard branson announced that nobody has asked for a

refund. there's been 700 people that have already paid, $250,000 to get on one of the flights. so it seems as though the people that have, you know, already signed up are still very confident that virgin galactic will be able to persevere and move on and they will perfect this technology and get people up into suborbital space. >> there was a customer that bought a flight after. >> right. >> i mean you were there. what do you think is so enticing about this? do you feel the energy when you're there at the facility? >> certainly. you know, this -- where this crash happened is not where the flights are going to be taking off. that will happen in new mexico at space port america. i was there just a matter of weeks ago. outside of truth or consequences, new mexico, that is a town of 6,000 people. now the people there have been waiting agelessly for these flights to actually happen. people have actually moved to the area and started businesses

to profit off of these emerging space tourism industry and everybody there was incredibly excited about the fact that these flights were going to be taking off in a matter of months. it's not just the tourists taking off on the flights but also what they would refer to as the tourists that would flood to the area just to see these missions take off to the hotels. there is one hotel called the rocket inn that had just been renovated to capitalize on this industry. so certainly a lot of excite. and not just in mojave. >> oh, yeah. all right. rachael crane, we so appreciate the fact that you're sharing your experience with us because of what is so rare. thank you. >> thank you. >> sure. we know young voters help fuel democratic election victories in the past eight years or so. but we are going to tell what you the gop strategy, the young republican, the college republicans are going to do to get the millennials to show up

all right. now to politics and the millennial vote. democrats rode obama's star power and home of change to victory. in this week's midterm elections, the party cannot count on millennials for rock solid support, not anymore. they're up for grabs. the gop is aggressively going

after them. 36 seats will be contested next week. republicans need to swing six of them to take control. in the house, republicans are counting on young voters to increase their 33-seat lead. but how are they going to create that turn around? listen to this from from the "new york times." the public isn't necessarily turning neoconservative or pining for the days of bush. instead, it mostly reflects a result-based verdict on what seems like poor execution in which the house's slow response to isis is a piece of the obama care rollout and the va scandal and various second term asleep at the wheel tiller moments. we have two guests from washington. how do young democrats overcome

this obama factor? >> many people are responsive to the democratic message across the country. you'll see polls that show that 2 to 1 democrats are leading among young voters and crucial senate races across the country. they're responsive to the democratic message. they're very much in favor of obama care. and raising the minimum wage. so i wouldn't see this an albatross at all but as a benefit. young people respond to the democratic message. >> alexandra, tima makes a point here that typically the democrats can rely on those younger voters. how is the gop going to change that? >> well, we're going to change it by talking directly to them where they are on campus and online. that is something that our party hasn't previously done. something the college republicans are doing this election season. we've had staff on the ground

for two months and running ads targeting 18 to 24-year-old independent voters and we're seeing a great response from those efforts. >> let's talk about bun of the ads. they say yes to the candidate campaign which has really been -- we have a clip of it -- it compares the candidates to a wedding dress. let's watch a portion of it. >> it's a big deal for me now that i just graduated from college. rick scott is perfect. rick scott is becoming a trusted brand. he has new ideas that don't break your budget. >> is this the best way to reach young female voters? some have called this ad condescending and sexist. what do you say? >> let me start by krcorrecting you. this is an ad that parody's the show "say yes to the dress" on tlc. this was written by myself and the other female colleagues we have. we tested this out in focus groups. we've seen that young people are tuning out politics as usual. we have to get creative if we

want to reach them. these typical political ads that you see, the kanld dates directing the camera, the dark scary political issue ads, young people are just not listening to them anymore. we knew we would have to get creative to reach them. this tested incredibly well. and we're seeing the results that are coming in from it online rinne credible. >> there has also been a lot of criticism of that ad as well. i wament to come back to you. what we know about the obama campaign that they know how to work an online campaign, an internet strategy, maybe some of the democrats who are running on tuesday are not as effective. what is the internet strategy to get young people out since so many young people, most young people spend more time on their phone instead of on a television? >> there are several online strategies happening. primarily we're doing a lot of messaging on the ground. lots of candidates have youth operations running. and the biggest thing that we are putting out there is that young people are smart. they're savvy.

they don't want to look at comparing candidates to a wedding dress. they understand the issues that are current today and they specifically want to make sure that they're able to innovate, have meaningful careers, not be crushed by student debt which is why this president has worked hard to work on the student loan reform. have access to affordable health care. the message out there is working and resonating online and on the ground. >> all right, alexandra smith, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> programming reminder for everyone, get all your election night coverage on cnn this tuesday starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >> the texas border isn't the only concern in the immigration debate. coming up, a cnn exclusive, our elena machad and her crew go on a coast guard cutter for days. what they saw is staggering.

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. 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.

the coast guard is seeing a record number of migrants trying to make it to the u.s. this week they found about 640, just this week, 640 migrants off miami coast and at least four died in the journey. >> in the cnn exclusive, we went along with the coast guard and she's giving us a first-hand look at this crisis. >> we got eyes on them. >> a dramatic scene plays out in the florida straits. >> you got them, chris? >> yeah, i got them. >> reporter: a united states coast guard plane spots this

boat packed with 29 cubans including several women and one young boy. the boat is taking on water. >> so it is coming on scene. >> reporter: yet, when the coast guard cutter arrives to help, the group's leader refuses to cooperate. >> they're claiming they're entering. rl eventually the group gives up and gives in. >> they got them now. >> reporter: joining the growing number of migrants rescued while making this dangerous and deadly journey to the u.s. >> we've been seeing the highest migration levels that we've seen from cuba and haiti in the past five years. >> reporter: roughly 10,000 migrants have been found in this area just this year. that's more than 3,000 than the year before. the biggest spike, cubans whose numbers have doubled since the castro government lifted travel restrictions in 2012. you have to be pretty desperate to go into open water and just try to make it, no? >> yeah, it s. >> reporter: it's dangerous, very dangerous. >> most of it is economic.

you know, they're looking for a better way of life. >> reporter: this lieutenant is the commanding officer of the norbel, one of the newest high-tech ships in the coast guard's seventh district. >> this is the front line of coast guard operations. this is where the action happens. >> reporter: we wanted to get a first-hand look at the action. so we spent a few days onboard the norvel and what we saw was sobering. a few hours into our journey, the norvel takes on ten migrants. lights of the u.s. shine in the distance. this is the closest this group will get. >> one more. d >> reporter: a doctor is concerned one is suicidal after telling the coast guard this is the ninth attempt to reach america. so you see, they put the man on the stretcher on the cutter safely. it doesn't appear he is responding at this point. it's unclear what they're going to do with him. we know that the remaining nine

migrants are all in the same area on this boat. they'll probably be here until the process runs its course. in the early morning hours, another group of cuban migrants is found barely moving, idling in what appears to be the middle of nowhere. each one is given a life vest before being transferred to the cutter. their small boat is then filled with gasoline and shot up with a auto caliber machine gun. a fire sinks the tiny boat. on the cutter, the migrants wear suits to stay dry. they're given red beans and rice to eat twice a day and a rubber mat to sleep on. some interact with coast guard members like ronald garcia, a cuban-american himself. >> it's difficult to see the situation that they're in. >> reporter: in all, we saw about 80 cuban migrants in just

four days with the coast guard. all of them with desperation in their eyes. for most, their search for a new life over at least for now. of the 80 migrants we saw, 29 cubans who were found on a u.s. territory were actually allowed to stay in the u.s. because of a long standing policy that only applies to cubans. most migrants who are found at sea regardless of their country of orginal rinne usually sent back. cnn, miami beach. we'll be right back. creeping up on you... fight back with relief so smooth... ...it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum, tum tum tum... smoothies! only from tums. i won this 55 inch tv for less than $30 on dealdash.com. visit

afraid. our daughter is sarah and was diagnosed with leukemia. she was such an incredible little soul who taught me about the power that's inside of ourselves. >> are you ready? >> yes! >> okay. begin. >> after our daughter passed away, i started a program that provides classes to children who are sick to teach them the martial arts. >> good. >> to make them feel powerful. >> every single type of martial arts uses the breath to take control. >> i'm a black belt. >> hold it. >> and then release. >> we use the martial arts as a platform for meditation, for reax lagr relaxation to allow children to gain the tools. >> you're totally in control. >> to really face down so much of the fear, the anger that accompanies pain. >> breathe in. and you can see that light on

their face. i feel like their souls are shining. >> you did it! >> i do have the power to make the pain go away. and nothing's impossible. nothing. good morning. it is 7:00. >> yes. >> check your clock. it is 7:00. >> all your clocks are wrong. they're all wrong. >> good to be with you. it is decision time in just two days the balance of power in washington could shift if the gop takes their first senate majority in nearly a decade. >> get trod see candidates across the country. they're shaking hands and holding babies all day as races in at least five crucial states are really coming down to the wire here. >> colorado, kansas, iowa, georgia, north carolina, all

separated by less than 3% this morning. and could all come down to voter turnout on tuesday. >> this is what at stake, a gop victory. that gives the party complete control on capitol hill. as well the as at built to constrain the final two years in office. >> let's check in with our senior political correspondent live in new hampshire where the scott brown race is in very, very tight there. >> good morning you to. this is where hillary clinton will be today as she appears to really try to rally people in new hampshire to get throughout and vote for the incumbent democrat. we've seen hillary clinton barnstorming all over. she was in kentucky and louisiana yesterday for democrats in really tough races. you've seen big name republicans like m.i.t. romnitt romney doin thing for scott brown.

you probably recognize that name. he is the former senator from massachusetts who is now running for senate here in new hampshire. and his real tactic throughout this -- i should say this strategy throughout this whole election has been to tie gene shahene to president obama on whatever issue is in the news. if it's obama care, if it's isis, if it's ebola, he is painting her as walking in lock step with president obama. so really the question here in this state is an interesting one. what is it sort of better to be or worse to be in this kind of election environment that so tough for democrats? is it to be essentially a carpet bagging republican who just moved to new hampshire ten months ago or is it being a democrat? is that worse? and that's the question that we're expecting to be answered here on tuesday. this race is a key one to watch. you really want to keep an eye on it on tuesday. that's because it's -- the polls close at 8:00 p.m. it's one of the first polls to

close. this is a state where president obama won in 2008 and 2012. so if democrats, victor and christie can't win here, you'll see that very quickly, we would expect on tuesday night, they're going to have a really tough time in places like arkansas and alaska. >> and we're expecting some runoffs potentially in other states as well. we know that overall women are really key here in new hampshire where you are. what kind of impact are they having? what are the candidates appeals to the women voters there in new hampshire? >> you're seeing this overall. and we're seeing this in all of the race that's have to do with hot button social issues, contra session and also how to deal with economic issues. even when candidates are talking about contraception, they're often talking about how it's paid for. that is something that is resonating with women. it is so key. you're seeing that in all of the ads and all of the appeals

because normally what you have is women overall giving democrats that edge over republicans whether democrats are successful. you're seeing that women just really aren't as energized as men. that's why this is such an important race to see how they turn out because republicans are performing very well with men. by and large when you look across the board here victor and krizy. >> just about 48 hours until polls open. brianna keilar, thank you. and remember, get all your election night coverage right here on cnn this tuesday. special coverage begins at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >> we're learning chilling new detail of what isis is doing in iraq. >> and the detail are horrifying. a sunni tribal leader tells cnn the militants kidnapped dozens of men and boys from their homes this weekend. pulling some from their beds. it's feared they've been executed along with hundreds of

fellow tribal members who tried to resist isis. >> a tribal leader says his fighters are ready to strike back. but they need help from baghdad and the u.s. let's bring in nick peyton walsh in southeastern turkey. tell us more about these kidnappings this weekend. >> as is so often the case when isis take over areas, they disappear or execute those who do not share their ideology. now the tribe has lifted in the area around here for quite some time. that's in the sunni anbar province in western iraq. and while having historically has a lot of potential to resist against al qaeda in the past and isis now, they've been living amongst this controlled area for some time. saturday morning 50 of their men were taken away from one particular town near here and then we don't know the fate of women and children from that area as well. so one of a number of potential massacres that isis has been

accused of. we're talking potentially hundreds from the tribe having been killed in the past week or so by isis. the key issue, they're part of the sunni tribes. they're moving into sunni areas. not all sunnis there agree with their ideology. this tribe potentially could have risen up against them. now they're saying they're gathering men nearby and in fallujah. they have the potential to move against isis there. that will be a key moment for anti-isis efforts. everyone accepts the coalition can only do so much with air strikes. they need people on the ground reclaiming areas from isis and the sunni tribes who resist them are key to that. the tribes say they want weapons from the iraqi government. and the backing of the iraqi government. traditionally, more pro shia in this war and not so keen on asitting sunni tribes. they're very suspicious of. they need arms from that government if they're going to take the fight to isis. the u.s. is saying unless the government gets onboard with

that plan anyway, they're not sure how much more help they can provide in the fight too. a lot contingent on what happens with this one tribe. isis on the move. this tribe really the potential to slow them down. >> isis, we've seen before. nick peyton walsh there in southeastern turkey. thank you. >> thanks, nick. investigators say it could take up to a year to discover what caused that virgin galactic space shape disaster. mike alsbury was killed in friday's descent. >> the second pilot is recovering in a hospital. he's alert and talking to his family and doctors. the big question now whether seabold may be able to provide critical cloues to investigator. >> the question is have we interviewed the surviving pilot. we have not. the surviving pilot is not medically -- the doctors do not recommend we do an interview at this stage. so we are con n. contact with the surviving pilot's wife and we don't want to interview that

pilot before the pilot is ready. >> most importantly, our thoughts remain with the families of the brave pilots and all those who have been affected by this tragedy. the bravery of test pilots generally cannot be overstated. nobody underestimates the risks involved in space travel. as i say, we owe it to our test pilots to find out exactly what went wrong. >> yeah. >> well, there is a lot of work to do in a large area to search. investigators say the debris field spans five mile. >> can't imagine. you know what? it is november. you don't see this often in the south. and victor loves it. >> no, i don't. >> no! >> come on! nearly two feet in some spots. y'all can have it. the exhilaration of a new engine. painstakingly engineered without compromise.

mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling.

if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com

welcome back to new day. we'll get you caught up with your morning read. >> if you have any questions, let me tell you, winter has come early. at least in parts of the south. snow fell yesterday in several high altitude places from the smoke y mountains where nearly o feet fell in some places to north carolina. and then you have parts of south carolina that they got two to four inches of snow. so tens of thousands lost power, driving was a mess. and a freeze warning is in effect from ohio to the gulf coast. be careful. >> in business, virgin galactic identified the pilot who lost his life in friday's test run. michael alsbury had 2,000 hours

of flight experience. it could take as long as a year before they figure out why the high-tech space plane broke apart over the mojave desert. >> and virgin galactic owner pushing back against critics who say the company's enthusiasm doesn't match the technology. and that even if space ship 2 had a successful launch, it could have never made it to space. >> and to be honest, i find it irresponsible that people that know nothing about what they're saying can be saying things before the ntsb makes their comments. >> let's dig deep we are cnn's rachael crane. good to see you again. earlier this year in june you gave access into virgin galactic's secretive manufacturing facility there in california. so what did you see behind the scenes that might support what richard branson is saying? >> well, what i saw actually was that they were working on a fleet of space ships. so when i was there, they were working on space ship 2 serial 2. it's about 60% done at this

point. it would have been the second addition to this fleet of hopefully five. i was really surprised to learn was a lot of the space ship was actually bonded together by this special glue that they had developed. it actually -- there were very few welds in the design. and the spirit of the engineers working on the space ship was incredible. i mean they're all pretty much space in other words themselves. and they're really hoping that these flights would take off in a matter of months. you could certainly feel that fervor in that manufacturing facility. >> okay. so we know that space ship 2 obviously total loss. talk to us about some of the other space planes that may take its place once this thing gets going again. >> right. the space tourism industry is just beginning. and virgin galactic is not the only player in the game l is another company called ex core aerospace looking to transport people into suborbita llt space. there are no space tourist it's

he moment just yet. certainly this is a huge blow to the entire industry seeing as it's an industry that is dependent on the public's perception and their confidence in these companies to be able to dare carry out these missions successfully, safely. people are paying a lot of money to go on the flights. and, you know, they're not wanting it to be a one way journey. they obviously want to know that everything is going to go off smoothly. and this tragedy certainly tarnishes some of the company's reputations. >> yeah, $250,000, i understand, to try to get the suborbital flight. go ahead. >> i was just saying, just to be clear, none of these passengers who have paid this $250,000 have asked for their refund. so there's certainly a lot of support behind virgin galactic. they're hoping this technology will take off very soon. >> good point to make there. thank you. we appreciate it so much. >> thank you. >> 100 days and counting in an irany jail and now a mother and

thursday marked 100 days

since a correspondent for "the washington post" was jailed in iran. jason razian has not been charged and their calling his incarceration a farce urging tehran to release him. >> joining us now is our senior media correspondent brian stelter. what are his relatives saying? >> they have put out a statement trying to use this 100 day mark as an opportunity to remind people about this case. just really an outrageous case. this is a very prominent journalist. he is a "washington post" correspondent in iran. there are only a few western correspondence in iran to begin with. to have one put in jail without charges is outrageous. to speak how prominent is, when our own anthony bore dane went there, went and spent time with jason and his wife because jason is so well known, such an

excellent example of journalism in that country. let me read part of the statement you to that the family released earlier this week. i think it was very telling. they came out and said, if iran has any evidence against jason, then why have we not heard it? if after 100 days iran's professionally trapd and liberally employed interrogators found evidence against jason, then why has he not been charged and allowed to employ an attorney and defend himself? after 100 days, it's time for iran to concede jason's innocence and release him. there have been some hints in the past few days from authorities in iran that maybe they are prepared to actually release him. but so far, nothing. >> you know, brian, we know his wife was detained at one point. she's no longer in jail. what did she say about, you know, her time being held by them and what happened to her? >> this potentially seemed like a good sign whether she was released. she is also a reporter. she reported for the newspaper

in the middle east. i don't think we've heard much from her since. she's being very careful as are the rest of the family members not to say the wrong things, not to reveal too much. the same is true for "the washington post." the editors there continued to call for jason's release. i remember the top editor of "the washington post" was here in new york during the u.n. general assembly because he was trying to pressure iranian officials and work with other country officials like switzerland to gain his release. so fate family is very circumspect and being careful beyond that statement. they don't want to send the wrong message. >> we look to hear more about that. what else do you have coming up? >> on "reliable sources", there is a storm involving the weather channel. there is a co-founder coming out saying climate change is a hoax, it's not real. it's not serious. and that caused the weather channel's colonel owners to come out and disavow him. so we actually have the co-founder from about 30 years ago and the current ceo on to talk about that dispute.

you know, for a channel like the weather channel to be out there talking about climate changes is critically important. so it's very interesting discussion. >> i had to go back and look at that headline again. the co-founder of the weather channel says that climate change is a hoax. we'll look forward it to. thank you so much, brian stelter. >> thank you. >> be sure to stay with cnn for much more "reliable sources" airs at 11:00 a.m. this morning eastern. and this morning, we step into the heartbreaking, confusing, inspiring world that is iran. his long awaited journey begins at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. we'll be right back with the host of "inside politics," john king, live next. chevrolet is merging the physical freedom of the car, with the virtual freedom of wi-fi. chevrolet, the first and only car company to bring built-in 4g

it is serious business, both parties zeroing in on tuesday's midterm election. >> the balance of power is at stake. a changing tide could carry the gop into a majority in both houses. john king and our chief national correspondent joins us from washington. john, in truth, there's a chance that by the time people wake up wednesday morning we won't know if the gop has taken control of the senate. >> there is that chance, victor. a number of things. there is an alaska senate race that is very important. the republicans are expected to win that one. democrats are making a late get out the vote push. some of the rural areas way up,

they don't count the votes until early morning, sometimes a day or two. we may be waiting on that one. plus, you're in atlanta this morning, the state of georgia a good possibility that senate race goes to a runoff between democrat and the republican. we'll see what happens on election day. if nobody gets 50% plus one that, is a runoff. the runoff in georgia is in january. also a possibility of the louisiana senate race goes to a runoff if nobody gets 50% plus one. that is in december. so we could wake up wednesday morning having a clue but not the final answer. >> all right. john king, what else is coming up here? >> we're going to you go through the math. we're going to take you to the great races and also some of the unanswered questions n this environment, the president's poll numbers are low. it's the sixth year itch midterm election. the president's party usually suffers a big hit. why isn't this a done deal for republicans? why don't they have control of the senate almost assured? why are so many races so close to the very end? so we'll look at the president's problems but also problems with the republican brand. let me end with this, don't forget the house. yes, we know the republicans are

already control the house and the republicans are expected to add to their house majority. but the number is important. they're trying to get as close. they're at 234. they're trying to get as close to 250 as they can because they expect in a presidential year they'll suffer from setbacks. we're focusing on the senate but the house majority matters as well on tuesday. >> john thing, thank you. you can see him in an hour for "inside politics." >> all right. listen to this beautiful rendition of the canadian anthem. ♪ o, canada our home and native land ♪ ♪ true pay trepa tree ott love ♪
