you okay, buddy? i just had a dream that progressive had this thing called... the "name your price" tool... it isn't a dream, is it? nope. sorry! you know that thing freaks me out. he can hear you. he didn't mean that, kevin. kevin: yes, he did! keeping our competitors up at night. now, that's progressive. hello, and welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> great to have you with us for our fourth hour. i'm john vause. coming up, a south korean ship captain is sentenced to 36 years in prison for his role in the country's deadly ferry disaster. but victims' families say that punishment does not go far enough. also ahead, four people are stabbed during the latest violence inside israel. officials are calling the attackers terrorists. >> what has security services

here concerned is the question is this stabbing an isolated incident or is it part of a growing trend. but first, we will head live to china where leaders from across the globe are meeting face-to-face at the apec summit. >> yeah, in fact leaders from 21 asia-pacific economies are talking about economic reform and growth in the region on the second day of the annual apec summit in beijing. >> now chinese president xi jinping is expected to deliver the closing statements shortly and then meet with president obama one-on-one. press freedoms and cyberspying might be discussed. >> and our david mckenzie joins us live from beijing with the latest developments. so david, as we said, 21 leaders, and not surprisingly a few frosty and awkward moments there. we'll certainly look at that. but first, what about efforts to forge trade deals?

what progress has been made on that? >> well, they said they're making progress, calling it, quote, momentum on a couple of major multilateral trade deals. one pushed through by the u.s. or attempted to push through involving around a dozen countries, excluding china there is another trade deal potentially on the table that china is pushing, a kind of competitive deal to that one. but we don't really expect anything major coming out of it in terms of those big multilateral deals to try and bring down tariffs and create a free trade environment around the asia-pacific, which after all is what apec was created to do. but they have announced some significant trade deals between the u.s. and china and visa rules that have been relaxed between those two countries as well. one thing also that a lot of people in china are talking about is the apec blue, the brief moment of relatively clean

air that the government has guaranteed by effectively putting -- pulling the kill switch on the chinese economy, closing thousands of factories, closing government offices, even telling in some cases people not to burn clothes in traditional burial ceremonies here in the capital. so certainly they want the air clean. but often it's not. and the pollution here is driving expats out of china. strutting their stuff in beijing, fast fashion and face masks. it's an accessory made for the chinese capital. runners needed them in the beijing marathon as they choke their way through hazardous pollution. for many expats living in china, the final straw was the air-pocalypse of 2013. >> i think ever expat goes through that.

>> reporter: after eight years michael is packing up and moving his family back to the states. when the gray skies are numbered blue, they knew they had to leave. >> i went in the girls bedroom and flew open the curtains, and girls, look outside. it's the most amazing day and they jumped up and down and said yay, we get to play outside today. it's just heartbreaking. >> reporter: companies are doing what they can to convince expats to stay. pollution bonuses and expensive air purifiers are some of the sweeteners. still, they're finding it increasingly hard to recruit talent to china. >> you can see the pollution? >> yeah. >> reporter: at least some expats are staying for the pollution because it turns them a profit. >> this filter costs less than $20. >> yeah. and what happens if we try to force air through this by itself? so we got a fan and started blowing air through it. >> reporter: it's not exactly rocket science. >> not exactly, no. >> reporter: smart air promises to scrub your air with their

canyon device. but air purifiers won't help you when you're outside. >> i felt like it was just a -- you couldn't get enough objection jeb. a oxygen. that's what it was. we came back and laid in bed and watched movies all day. that's not a way to live a life. >> reporter: it's moments like these that push expats out of china that michael crane says no amount of money would make them stay. of course, people like michael crane can get on a plane and leave china, and he has. but for those living in the country, particularly obviously chinese citizens, this can be a major issue, a health one at that. more than half a million people have died per year it's believed from smog-related illnesses. the pollution is a major issue for the communist party of china. but at least during apec, we can all suck in relatively clean air for a couple of days, long may it last. rosemary? >> yes, indeed. it will probably be very

short-lived. david mckenzie, many thanks to you bringing that report to us and reporting live too from beijing. many thanks. john? there is anger in south korea after a ferry captain avoided the death penalty for his role in a deadly accident back in april. more than 300 people died when the "sewol" ferry capsized. most of them were school children. the captain was sentenced to 36 years in prison. paula hancocks is in seoul. she joins us live with more reaction on this. and paula, do we know why the court decided the captain was guilty of negligence, not homicide? >> reporter: well, john, it was really up to the prosecutors to prove there was willful intention to murder on the part of the captain that would have allowed the judges and the court to agree he was guilty of murder. but according to the three judges, it seems as though the prosecutors failed to show that there was intent to murder.

we heard from the captain himself. he said for my crimes i do deserve to die, but i did not intend to murder anybody. we also understand that he said he did give the evacuation order. it just wasn't given to the passengers. and it appears as though the court believed his version of events, that he had tried to evacuate the ship. of course, prosecutors don't agree. they say that the captain and 14 crewmembers who were all on trial during these past five months did nothing to try to evacuate people. they had all the means of communication and life jackets and boats at their disposal, but they did not use them. now only one out of the 15 was actually charged with murder. this was not for the murder of more than 300 passengers. this was because the chief engineer saw two of his fellow crewmen injured but did nothing to help them. so left them on the ship, and then escaped himself. so he got 30 years. and then for the other 13, they got between 5 and 20 years. and as you can imagine, the

anger among the families of those victims is pretty intense. john? >> and paula, we're also hearing now that the prosecution plans to appeal this verdict for all 15 crewmembers. what is the basis of that, and how will that play out? >> well, we're seeing those reports as well. we're seeing if we can confirm that at this point. what we do know is that they have up to seven days to appeal this verdict. it would not be surprising to anybody if they wanted to appeal and they're more than likely to appeal. they ask for the death penalty for the captain. they asked for life imprisonment for three of the crewmembers between 50 and 30 years for the rest of the crewmembers. they didn't get anything close to what they were demanding. one thing i should point out is the death penalty here in korea does not mean loss of life. since 1997, there hasn't been an execution that has taken place. it effectively means life imprisonment. but what the families have been saying outside the court after this verdict is that they want

an appeal. they're pushing prosecutors to appeal these verdicts. they say they want the death penalty for all of the crewmembers. talking about how difficult it's been to actually sit in court day after day, many of them have been there for dozens of days, watching the men and women that they say they believe killed their children, and as they say, watching them give excuses. just after the verdict in sentencing was announced by the judge, of course, those families were in court. there were screams of is this law? what about our children's lives? there was a fair bit of commotion and anger and grief and emotion spilling over by some of those families of the victims. john? >> yeah, this has been such a national trauma. for so many there in south korea. paula, thank you. paula hancocks reporting live from seoul. rosemary? well, john, at least 57 people were killed in pakistan when a bus and truck collided. a citizen police liaison committee say the accident happened in the town of sukura.

that's in the southern part of the country. geo news reported the bus was carrying passengers from swat to karachi. police say a suicide blast ripped through morning assembly at a boys school in northern nigeria. at least 47 people, mostly students were killed. dozens of others were wounded. investigators say it appears the attacker disguised himself as a student, possibly hiding the bomb in a knapsack. no claims of responsibility yet, but police suspect the militant group boko haram. two israelis are dead, two others wounded after two separate knife assaults. police describe monday's incidents in tel aviv and the west bank as terrorist attacks. cnn's nic robertson has the details, and we must warn you, his report has video which some viewers may find disturbing. >> reporter: a young israeli soldier is lifted aboard a stretcher. it is noon in downtown tel aviv. he was waiting for a bus when he was stabbed.

this paramedic one of the first responders. >> one stab wound or multiple stab wounds? >> he has a few in the legs and in the upper part of the body. >> reporter: not long after, this video appears on youtube. the attacker, an arab, still holding a knife, appears to cut his own wrist. the security services move to arrest him. what has security services here concerned is the question is this stabbing an isolated incident or it is part of a growing trend of attacks at transport hubs over the past few weeks? within hours this in the west bank at sunset. a van driver deliberately drives into someone at a bus stop, knocks them down. all caught on security camera video. seconds later, the van driver comes back, finds the person he knocked down, starts stabbing them. then he crosses the road, chases then attacks another victim

before he is interrupted. a third man appears to spray something on the attacker. he crosses the road again and returns to his first victim. police say three people were injured in this stabbing attack. one of them a 24-year-old woman, dying at the scene. the attacker, whom police describe as a terrorist shot at the scene by a guard. hours later, the radical islamist group islamic jihad praises both the west bank and tel aviv attackers. tensions and concerns here arising. nic robertson, cnn, tel aviv, israel. still to come here on cnn, we'll have more on a mass sterilization in india that left eight women dead, many others in serious condition in hospital. plus forget that it's just early november because an early and massive cold spell is now settling in across parts of the united states. we'll take a look at that when we're back in a moment.

live now to beijing where the chinese president xi jinping is delivering closing remarks at the apec summit. once he is finished there he is scheduled to meet one-on-one with president barack obama. topics might be press freedoms, cyberspying, a whole lot of

others. all right. we'll move on for now. at least eight women have died in central india, and more than 20 others are in serious condition after they had sterilization surgery. in all, more than 80 women fell ill after attending a government mobile health clinic on saturday. >> part of the treatment the women received some kind of medicine after the surgery. then once they were discharged, many complained of vomiting and abdominal pain. officials say an autopsy report expected by wednesday morning could reveal what went wrong. well, the new york city doctor treated for ebola will soon be going home. doctors have declared craig spencer ebola-free and are sending him home some time today with his banjo. >> the new york health officials say he doesn't pose any threat to the public. spencer contracted ebola working with doctors without borders in guinea. he is the first person to be diagnosed with the deadly

disease in new york. >> meantime, the ebola outbreak remains concentrated in west africa. according to the world health organization, the virus has killed nearly 5,000 people. more than 1100 of them are in sierra leone. itn's alex thompson travelled to one part of that country to see how entire villages are now suffering. >> reporter: we're heading out from freetown towards kwama, where a contact has said four people died just yesterday. before we can even get there, we have to stop at devil hole. so we've got one person's dead there. >> yeah, one person. >> two people dead here. >> reporter: one person dead, several apparently dying. you dial 117 for emergency services here and they're

supposed to come for the sick and the dead. it's after 11:00. they've been calling 117 since 7:00 this morning. >> at least to tell them what happened. they responded to my conversation. but told me they would be here very soon. >> reporter: so they wait with no protective equipment here, angry, frustrated, frightened. the house you're seeing 50 meters away is the villagers tell me the house where this man lived. now that's not where his body. his body has been moved some, i don't know, 1800 meters down to the other side of the road here. he is lying under that tree right now. the problem is how did he get there? the villagers say that he was moved there. that happened with at least two or three people without any adequate protection at all. that is a near certain way of catching and therefore spreading ebola. worse, the villagers tell us the

men who carried him to his last resting place have fled into the jungle. not far off, we're taken to see where another woman, one of the man's three wives lies desperately ill with ebola. people here don't understand why nobody has come to help. a policeman arrives very close and without protection. but what can he do? when you're in devil hole, the international aid limit for sierra leone looks to be too little and too late. we finally make to it kwama, a ghost village. self-imposed 21-day quarantine after four people died here late yesterday. >> in case there is anyone died, no one should wash the body, no one should change the body unless the burial team. so now to prevent for the cases what we are planning to do is to quarantine the whole village.

>> reporter: an a team gets to work to cordon off the area. >> now sometimes i use to pick up. and of course i don't touch them. and i use my gloves and my spray in the car. i load them into the car and take them to the police centers. >> reporter: are you concerned for your own safety? >> yeah. i don't touch them. when the people speak about my own safety, i used to tell them that i have my sprayer and my prayer. i'm a catholic. >> reporter: okay. good luck with that, father. good luck with that. this afternoon she still lay in devil hole, her breathing now rapid and shallow. the body of her husband is in the red cross vehicle next to her, but they only do body collection. they say it will get worse before it gets better here. the first part of that certainly true. >> that was itn's alex thompson reporting from cloern. and as you saw, ebola can impact

those who don't even have the disease. >> and right now some of the biggest names in music are teaming up to raise money to fight ebola. bob geldof has announced he is remaking the band-aid single "do they know it's christmas. . >> mothers can't cradle their children. wives can't hold their husband's hands while they die. that's not right. it can be stopped. >> the single is being recorded this weekend and will be available for download on monday. >> still to come here on cnn, temperatures in parts of the united states dropped some 40 degrees fahrenheit. around 22 degrees celsius in just a few hours. and the cold snap is expected to stay around for a while. and preparing for the worst in a midwestern u.s. town. coming up, the fears of unrest in speculation of a grand jury decision. we're back in a moment.

>> it's now going to be diving down to the south already. down to the south and then to the east. so that cold air isn't by you yet, don't worry. it's copping. >> reporter: even people in part of the lone star state could feel the effect. it could bring unseasonably low temperatures for an estimated 200 million people. the highs in montana and south dakota will not get above zero later on this week. zero that will be the high of the day. >> reporter: there will be a few lucky parts of the country. forecasters predict places like milwaukee and chicago will see more rain than snow. temperature there's should also be relatively mild. the remnants of the pacific cyclone could be to blame for the bizarre weather. the storm rammed into a jet stream, causing it to whip south, dragging cold air down with it. >> you know, i love winter. i hate getting to winter, right? >> reporter: with another arctic blast expected next week, folks across north america are bracing for an early taste of winter. i'm paulo sandoval reporting.

and joins us now. of course, the concern here when you're dealing with such temperatures in areas that aren't used to it, they're not equipped to warm their homes. and that is the big worry for a lot of people. >> and don't drive with cruise control if the roads are icy. my tip. >> that's a good tip. and that tip should have been observed in minnesota. >> about 400? >> 475, right behind you there. you can see what we're talking about as far as the messy roads. 475 vehicles reported have been crashed across this region by the police across this portion of minnesota. and you go on to vail, i-70 at vail both sections were closed off. but back this minnesota, the official there's saying they had to pull some 700 vehicles off the side of the road. that's how bad it was across that portion of minneapolis on into the state of minnesota. but we'll put the maps in motion for you. this is casper, wyoming. 47 fahrenheit. dropping down to 6 from this

time yesterday. 47 to 6 at this hour. it's kind of like taking a 13 above celsius bringing it down to 13 below. that the trend i've seen across portions of the united states. and everyone seeing a general cooling trend. and believe it or not, you factor in the wind, considerably colder. 8 below zero across portions of rapid city. believe it or not, it is going to get colder for some folks across this region. snowfall totals pretty impressive for the month of november. upwards of 16 1/2 inches that is 41 centimeters for the national viewer there's coming down across portions just outside of minneapolis. and a lot of talk about this potentially being one of the coldest spells of weather for the month of november in the u.s. since 1976. now what happened back in the winter of 1976 in the u.s.? we had snow in miami. snow in the bahamas for the first time in recorded history. the cold air fortunately will not make that it far south. but the longevity of this cold air just as impressive as the 1976 event. and notice the snowfall now finally beginning to move out of the united states. generally a couple of inches

left in place for minneapolis. but once you get your way out toward the up of michigan, eventually into southern ontario, that's where the last bout of snow is left in the forecast the next couple of days. temperature trend in denver. how about 25 down to 12, back up to 20. roller coaster indeed. 43 degrees come friday. look at what happens in atlanta. 73 degrees. that's your forecast high later on today, tuesday afternoon. drops to 66. drops to 55. if that's not enough, it goes back down to 49 for a high temperature come friday. so the weekend certainly shaping up to be cold across the region. places like minneapolis and chicago, your temperatures will be in the freezing range, below freezing for about 13 to 14 straight days. so potentially getting up towards thanksgiving before we get back up towards seasonal values. and lastly leave you here with some travel delays shaping up across portions of the northeast with fog in the forecast, upwards of an hour and a half in some areas, potentially two hours. we'll have more news coming up shortly.

just on half past the hour. i would like to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm john vause. >> and i'm rosemary church. the second day of the annual apec summit is wrapping up in beijing. chinese president xi jinping delivering closing remarks there. you're looking at some live pictures. and he is scheduled to meet one-on-one with u.s. president barack obama soon. controversial topics including human rights, press freedoms, and cyberspying could be discussed. also at the apec summit, russian president vladimir putin was seen placing a shawl over the shoulders of china's first lady. and you can see them on the right there circled. she kindly accepted the offer.

but seconds later shipped the shawl off. the foreign press has dubbed the exchange coatgate. chinese sensors were quick to delete comments on social media following the incident. a south korean court has sentenced a ferry captain to 36 years in prison for his role in a deadly accident back in april. prosecutors had asked for the death penalty. more than 300 people died when the "sewol" ferry cap sized, and most of them were school students. at least 57 people were killed in pakistan when a bus and truck collided. a citizen police liaison committee says the accident happened in the town of sukura in the southern part of the company. the bus was carrying passengers from swat to karachi. two are dead two others wounded in separate knife attacks. the dead are a 20-year-old soldier in tel aviv and a 24-year-old woman in the west bank. police say terrorists are responsible. a palestinian suspect is under

arrest in the tel aviv attack, and a security guard shot another palestinian suspect in the west bank incident. business owners in the u.s. city of ferguson, missouri, are boarding up window, afraid of new violence over the michael brown case. >> this is because right now a grand jury is deciding if it will indict the white policeman for killing the unarmed black teenager. sara sidner is there. >> reporter: fear is building in ferguson. some shops now look like a hurricane is coming. constance garnett is hoping for best. she can't afford to take a rest that they'll crash into the business she has built over 11 years. >> if they should come and loot our area, it's already costly to

us because we're losing clients. >> reporter: protests haven't stopped for three months on her street. but there has been no looting except for two tense days months ago. bassa mossry is one of the most verbally combative protesters. >> as far as what happened in the last 90 days, there hasn't been any looting, no violence, what not. we've been completely peaceful. >> reporter: if the grand jury doesn't indict officer darren wilson for the killing of unarmed teenager michael brown, people fear violence will erupt. west floreson street which looked like a war zone in august now looks like it's ready for more days of rage. >> i hate the board. i don't like them here. but i don't want my windows smashed out again. >> reporter: still, dan mcmullen works in his business like he has for 20 years. but he has decided to buy a second gun, capable of holding more ammunition to protect himself, just in case. >> so maybe i get trapped here or something, we've got to have

a john wayne shoot-out, you know. that's the silly part about it. you know, is that going to happen? not a chance. but i guess could it? because i'm the only white person here. >> reporter: at a gown shop near ferguson, the manager says sales of finals for personal protection are up about 50%. both white and black customers are buying. >> every time that door opens, we're seeing new faces every day. dozens of new faces coming in. >> reporter: do you think that's because of what happened in ferguson? >> i think it is. i think people in general, because it's spread beyond ferguson now. >> reporter: the mayor of ferguson says he has heard all about it too. >> now that the plus side of that is that everyone that i spoke to have went out and taken a training class, went out and tried to learn the law. >> reporter: not everyone is convinced there's going to be chaos. at the ferguson burger bar and more, no boards. >> i want to make a statement to the community that i'm here. i'm open. i'm not going anywhere. >> reporter: sara sidner, cnn, ferguson, missouri.

new york city is telling its police to stop arresting people carrying small amounts of marijuana. instead, officers will have the option of writing offenders a ticket. mayor bill de blasio says the policy change will remove the stigma of a criminal conviction for many first time offenders, especially young people. >> too many new yorkers without any prior convictions have been arrested for low-level marijuana possession. black and latino communities have been disproportionately affected. there have been in some cases disastrous consequences for individuals and families. when an individual is arrested, even for the smallest possession of marijuana, it hurt theirs chances to get a good job. it hurts their chances to get housing. it hurts their chances to qualify for a student loan. it can literally follow their the rest of their lives. >> new york's pot policy change

goes into effect on november 19th. well, during elections last week, voters in the u.s. capital approved the use of recreational marijuana. the initiative in washington, d.c. passed by an overwhelming margin. but as joe johns reports, the issue may not be easily settled by simply going into the voting booth and casting a ballot. >> reporter: washington, d.c. has a problem with pot. the district is on course to be one of the first in the country to legalize recreational marijuana use under new laws voted on last week. pot advocates hope the district can follow alaska, oregon, washington state and colorado in making recreational use fully legal. >> i'd be delighted if a year from now this is actually been implement and it's passed the rescrew by congress. >> reporter: that last step could end up killing the recreational movement's buzz. because what goes on in d.c. is not up to the voters. the constitution says congress has a big say in district business, not all approve of legalizing weed which the

federal government still views as a schedule one drug like ecstasy and heroin with potential for abuse and illegal to manufacture or distribute. on the floor of the house, congressman andy harris of maryland has railed against even medical uses of marijuana. >> marijuana is neither safe nor legal. >> reporter: the district had already de-criminalized possession of small quantities of the drug. d.c.'s new law is limited, allowing up to 2 ounces of marijuana for personal use. no sales. a person can grow up to six plants at his or her residence. it could be months before the city council figures out the time rules. one thing seems clear, the rules on pot will be different on federal lands in washington than it is in the city at large. >> any place with federal land -- that include the mall, capitol hill, lots of other places around, marijuana will still remain illegal in those areas. and so if a cop comes along, a federal cop and sees you, they'll probably still arrest

you or at least they'll give you a summons to show up. so, again, i think the change in the district is symbolic to a large degree. >> reporter: even that symbolism is a problem for opponents. >> it's our nation's capital. to legalize it in our nation's capital i think gives a horrific emergency. >> reporter: over the years there have been many disagreements between people in congress and people in washington, d.c. who want the right to governor themselves free of interference. marijuana now has at least the potential to be another one of those fight, and it remains to be seen how the incoming republican-controlled congress might view the law. so take a deep breath, because it's not clear what will happen when all the marijuana smoke clears. joe johns, cnn, washington. u.s. president barack obama says the internet needs more regulation so it can stay open to everyone. mr. obama laid out his new rules on monday for the issue known as net neutrality. that's the principle saying

internet service providers should treat all websites and content equally. some companies want to create a so-called fast lane and charge higher fees for sites to be better connected and keep sites in a slow lane if they don't pay. >> this set of principles, the idea of net neutrality has unleashed the power of the internet and given innovate terse chance to thrive. abandoning these principles would threaten to end the internet as we know it. that's why i'm laying out a plan to keep the internet free and open. >> no shortage of critics, though. the u.s. senate republican ted cruz is slamming the president's plan. he thinks it could eventually let the government control the price, terms of service and types of internet products available for customers. he posted this on facebook. net neutrality is obamacare for the internet. the internet should not operate at the speed of government. another senate republican says the plan will stifle innovation.

well, it was once an obscure four-letter word. but now it could spell ruin for some companies. the challengers are being named isis, after the break.

there are conflicting reports about the fate of isis leader abu bakr al baghdadi. >> he was targeted by u.s.-iraqi air strikes this past weekend. but it's unclear whether he was hit. more on the confusion and what it means for the fight against isis. >> reporter: confusion about the fate of the elusive leader of isis. that he was wounded in an iraqi

air strike on tuesday. a senior u.s. official tells cnn the iraqis did have intelligence that he was in that border town. u.s. officials now believe it's less likely that baghdadi was wounded or killed 250 miles away in mosul where coalition warplanes hit a convoy of ten isis armed trucks. rumors surfaced soon after that that baghdadi was there. the u.s. said the strike targeted a meeting of isis leaders, but the outcome was unclear. retired army general stanley mcchrystal questions what good it would do. >> a strategy of trying to get al baghdadi from isis right now, that's not going to stop isis? >>. no i think it's something that causes isis problems, but it's not -- it's not cutting the head off the snake and expecting the snake to die. >> reporter: the u.s. is now scouring phone intercept, reports from locals on the ground, anything for intelligence confirming baghdadi may have been killed or wounded. even if the coalition wounded or

killed him, the war against isis still is far from over. >> it will morph. new leaders will emerge. isis leadership originated from saddam's military. these are conventionally trained professional leaders. >> reporter: president obama says his decision to send 1500 more troops to iraq to train iraqi forces is about getting them on the offense against isis. >> now what we need is ground troops, iraqi ground troops that can start pushing them back. >> reporter: but even some of the president's own democrats skeptical the iraqi government is up to the essential challenge of winning back sunnis who have turned to isis out of distrust with baghdad. >> these 1500 troops are ultimately just going to be a temporary band-aid if there isn't a fully inclusive government inside baghdad. >> reporter: 50 u.s. troops are now in al anbar province, once

an area of very tough and violent fighting for u.s. troops during the war there. now these troops will begin to set up operations so additional military advisers can go in and get the iraqis trained up to go back on the offense. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. well, large corporations spend considerable time and money figuring out snappy names for their brands. but sometimes years of careful effort can go out the window. >> yeah. ask any business that uses the name isis, or did use that name isis. cnn's isa soares looks at the challenges now facing those companies. >> reporter: despite the horror it now provokes, isis is quite a common name and remains a common site on britain's high streets. many of the businesses have chosen the name because of its association with the ancient egyptian goddess, renowned for her beauty, love, and integrity.

but now its unwanted association is causing companies who bear the same name to think twice. british entertainer anne summers who recently launch adeline of british plunge lines and bras. american spy comedy archer, whose agency goes by the name the international secret intelligence service has been forced to write isis out of the show. even "downton abbey" has faced crim after the dog isis was written out of the script. take isis wallet. the mobile payment technology set up by at&t, t-mobile and verizon changed its name to softcard back in september. its ceo tells me he had no other choice. >> i received personally, over 1,000 e-mails from people thanking us for taking the stance and deciding to make the

change, and we did it in a matter of about eight weeks. everybody was vocal about the situation, whether it be our customers or clients. in fact, there was no way forward with our clients. i could not see a coca-cola or mcdonalds or at&t or american express staying behind a name like isis. >> reporter: here in the u.k. some businesses are following suit. isis equity partners who has had the brand name since 1998 tells cnn given the ongoing events in syria and iraq, it will come as no surprise to you to learn that we have decided to change our name. we are no longer prepared to share it with a terrorist organization. but re-branding can be a challenge. >> rebranding exercise can be massively expensive. not just the consultancy in terms of creating the name and the vision around that, but actually getting it out to your customers, explaining to your customers that you've changed your name.

the cost is pretty small if you're one shop. but if you're bigger brand, tense of millions. >> reporter: there are hundreds of small businesses with the name isis. but there could be many more as many are not registered. for these smaller companies, changing your name can be costly, leaving some to take a much simpler approach to rebranding. isa soares, cnn, london. >> pretty unlucky. >> all that investment. >> and of course news events overtake the situation. there is a heatwave brewing across southeast australia. and this is meant to be the nice time of year where in the 20s and all nice and cool. all the details. >> not this time around. you know the concern, guy, it's so high for the bush fire season as well. this is going to be a long event all year eventually into 2015 when it comes to the peak heating on into australia. bush fire scientists across

australia throughout human history, the 30,000 to 50,000 years that it is believed humans lived across australia, the fuels have never been quite this high for this region. and you take a look. the rainfall deficit over the past several months, the lowest 5%, encroaching on the record territory. this is for melbourne and portions of adelaide. and you factor in what has happened in recent days, you can see what we're talking about here. temperatures in adelaide in the mid-30s. that's approaching 100 fahrenheit. 36 celsius there on thursday. should it be in the mid-20s, which is about 75 fahrenheit. and notice across sydney, the heating trend really picks up come friday afternoon when we head up to 34 degrees. melbourne also in the 30s. it does look to cool off quickly after this particular setup. even alice springs, the low 40s when they should be in the low 30s. the scenes out of portions of sydney in recent day. looks nice. but of course if you have to live there long-term and deal with the fire threat, it is not a good setup. and here we go across portions of melbourne, where we do have

active bush fires in place. the concern for a very active season after copping off of the warmest october on record exists. and high pressure hangs out off the tasman sea as the responsible for cranking up the heat across this region. now a lot of rainfall, a lot of severe storms to tell you about across areas of the mediterranean. in fact, right here across portions of the western mediterranean on into say the town of genova, italy, which is on the northwestern side, sixth largest city in italy. a tornado touched down on monday afternoon. it was an f-1 level. about 120 or 140 miles per hour. quite a significant tornado. and shipping containers, about 30 of them were strewn about into the ocean. two of them as much as a ton each measured when they were empty were tossed into the mediterranean as well. very, very active thunderstorms there. and delays again going to be in place generally because of fog into the morning and afternoon hours. and to the north as well fog. the concern dublin. but typical winds come in with

45-minute delays expected across that region. so the severe weather threat once again a level 2 on a scale of 1 to 3. a similar setup in recent days where we had damaging winds. that pattern continues. heavy rain also there. and the isolated shot at tornadoes we talked about also in this forecast in the region. that's the latest in weather. we'll have john and rosemary back with more news.

police in ireland arrested the star of the music group the

cranberries saying she was involved in air rage. >> dolores o'riordan is accused of attacking a female crewmember during the flight from new york to ireland. that woman was taken to hospital. police say when they arrested o'riordan at shannon airport, she head-butted an officer. he is expected to be okay. >> o'riordan was also taken to a hospital, but later released. she is no longer in police custody. >> yowza. okay. the iconic british rock band pink floyd's album the endless river is now out. it's their first in 20 years and probably their last. >> we spoke with dave gilmore who has a message for the new generation of music stars. ♪ >> reporter: this is both the comeback and a goodbye for pink floyd. ♪ we bitch and we fight >> reporter: is the only track with lyrics on what they say is their last album. but this isn't entirely new music. it is mostly based on tracks

that were left off the division bell album in the 1990s. >> the bed of everything there is a piece of old music. and we have added to it and subtracted from it when we can. i did think for a little while about being purists about it and not having to, just doing the shaping and try to make it sound better. but i thought well, we wouldn't have done that back then. ♪ >> reporter: the division bell tour documented in the 1995 film "pulse" was the biggest tour the world has ever seen. packing out stadiums across europe and north america, with more than 250 million records sold, pink floyd is one of the biggest rock bands of all time. >> as i understand it, you presold more albums than one direction here in the uk, at least. >> yes. >> you're still absolutely relevant to a younger generation it seems as well. because that was on amazon. >> maybe they're looking for something that they're not getting. >> what do you think that is?

>> something that is not made quite so robotically. is that fair? i don't know. i don't know what to say. something like that. i think modern music to me, god, i'm going to sound like a grumpy ole man now, it's very form lake. >> but almost as if music from bygone decades which is the fundamental base of this album is almost more relevant to people now than the stuff that is being produced. >> my children who are now in their late teens and in their 20s all went through phases of thinking the beatles were the greatest thing on the planet. and then there are an awful lot of young people who are searching back through the older music for some sort of slice of something real or more original. >> it's a comeback, but it's also a goodbye, isn't it? this will be your last. >> it will. >> this is the end of pink

floyd? >> this is the end of the pink floyd recording career i think you can say fairly safely. >> reporter: max foster, cnn, london. >> great music there. >> it's interesting what they say about the beatles and the new music being formulaic. take that, taylor swift. >> that's rough. you're so musical too. >> thank you. >> you've been watching cnn. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm john vause. stay with us. cnn newsroom is up next for our international viewers. >> and if you're watching this the united states, early start begins after this short break. i'm only in my 60's.
