eastern ukraine and nato officials say they're being fuelled by russian weapons flowing across the border. are russian troops there as well? we want to begin with news the united states is preparing to accept another ebola patient from west africa. he's a doctor who became infected in sierra leone, though it's not clear if he was treating ebola patients at the time. he's a sierra leone national and a permanent resident of the u.s. he's married to a u.s. citizen and they have children. he will arrive in nebraska if his condition is stable enough to allow travel. in omaha, two other patients were successfully treated. one patient was doing missionary work when he was diagnosed. the other is freelance journalist ashoka mukpo. both of them were released.
10:02 pm
mukpo called the hospital one of the world's best at handling contagious diseases. the world health organization count nos now more than 14,000 confirmed or suspected cases of ebola in west africa. more than 5100 have been deadly. the vast majority are in liberia, guinea and sierra leone. u.s. president barack obama is wrapping up his visit to myanmar today, meeting with opposition leader aung sa aung san suu kyi. they're expected to discuss myanmar's transition to democracy and next year's national elections. m. obama urged myanmar's president to urge forward with democratic reforms and respect the rights of muslim minorities. u.s. war planes have taken aims once against on the car san al qaeda cell in syria. officials tell cnn a key operative was targeted. they did not identify him.
10:03 pm
the u.s. says the khorasan group is working to develop high-tech explosives to be smuggled on to commercial airplanes. a u.s. defense official told cnn earlier that a top khorasan bomb maker was likely killed in an air strike last week. meantime, isis is making new claims that its power and influence are growing and that the u.s. coalition against it is failing. barbara starr has that part of the story. >> isis is burrowing in for the long fight. in a new video, the terror group shows off its latest strategy to survive. isis fighters in underground tunnel system in iraq sheltered from coalition air strikes. and isis' leader has come out of hiding. less than a week reports that he was targeted in an air strike, the group leased audio only of al-baghdadi suggesting he survived. the new message, purportedly the
10:04 pm
voice of the leader. he called the coalition terrified, weak and powerless and threatened volcanoes of jihad everywhere. cnn cannot confirm the authenticity of the audio. with over 800 air strikes so far, the nation's top defense officials today said again there will be no u.s. boots on the ground in the fight against isis. >> u.s. military personnel will not be engaged in a ground combat mission. >> but the joint chiefs chairman seemed to leave the door open for greater u.s. involvement in iraq. >> i'm not predicting at this point that i would recommend that those forces in mosul and along the border would need to be accompanied by u.s. forces, but we're certainly considering it. >> reporter: as the united states preparing to send 1500 additional military personnel to iraq, the joint scheefs chairman says iraq will need 80,000 of its own troops to recapture territory it has lost to isis.
10:05 pm
but the yad got a skeptical reception. >> i'm asking, what's the difference in the men of the -- the iraqi men that we have in the forces there in making a difference not running away from the battle. >> reporter: they admitted even with more training, iraqi forces still need to show they are up to the fight. >> one of the asufrpgs is the iraqi security forces will be willing to take back their territory. if they're rendered invalid, i will have to adjust my recommendations. >> reporter: general dempsey is not talking about sending combat forces into iraq or even syria. what he is talking about is in case where is the iraqis might get overwhelmed by a very difficult complex military operation, he might be willing to consider sending u.s. advisers, essentially military personnel that can help pick out targets on the ground, transmit that information to aircraft overhead, and help the iraqis
10:06 pm
regain territory and push isis back. >> we just mentioned that u.s. president barack obama is in myanm myanmar. he's meeting with aung sa aung san suu kyi. they've just begun their remarks. let's listen. >> but these differences are part of the democratic tradition. democracy allows people to have different views. and democracy makes it also -- makes us also responsible for negotiating an answer to those views. i would like all of you to feel welcome in this country. and i would like all of you to feel that you can join us in hoping for better days. but at the same time, i always warn against overoptimism because that could lead to
10:07 pm
complacency. we're going through a bumpy patch. but this bumpy patch is something that we can negotiate with commitment and with the help and understanding of our friends from all over the world. so let us not exaggerate the differences, the difficulties, but at the same time, let us not exaggerate the rosy picture either. what we need is a healthy balance between optimism and pessimism. we need to view the situation for what it was, but at the same time, we all have to be confident that we will get there. we will get where we want to get to because that's what our people want. in the end, it's the people of burma who will decide where this country is going and in which way and how and when. so we accept responsibility for
10:08 pm
the fate of our country, but at the same time, we welcome the support and the help of our friends, and we always appreciate them very greatly. thank you. >> well, good afternoon, everybody. [ speaking foreign language ] it is wonderful to be back here and to once more have the opportunity to spend time with sang chang suu kyi. she never waivered in open and determination for a free and democratic burma. you helped this country on a better path. i'm grateful for your hospitality in opening up your home to not only me but all these people. when i fist made my historic
10:09 pm
trip to burma, this country was just taking steps towards democracy. the economy has begun to grow, political prisoners have been set free. there are more newspapers and media outlets. children have been released from the military, and these are all important changes that have opened up greater opportunity for the people of burma. at the same time as aung san suu kyi just said, it's clear how much hard work needs to be done and how many difficult choices still lie ahead. the process for reform is by no means complete or irreversible. for many, progress has not come fast enough or spread far enough people need to feel safe in their homes and not be subject to arbitrary harassment by authorities or individuals acting with impunity. people need to be empowered to pursue their dreams.
10:10 pm
and as burma heads towards national elections next year, it will be critical to ensure that all of burma's people can shape the future of their country. as a member of parliament, and the head of the rule of the rule of law -- >> signal froze up there just for a moment. we'll see if we can re-establish the connection. president obama from the united states with aung san suu kyi there, talking about the slow progress the country has been making towards a democracy. let's rejoin. >> necessary to keep burma advancing towards democracy is going to take a great deal of political will and no small amount of determination. and we are clear about the scale, the challenges that remain and recognize that we cannot remain complacent. today, the united states again helped facilitate and bolster burma's democratic transition.
10:11 pm
we talked about the need for a strong rule of law, for elections that are free, fair and inclusive and constitutional changes that will move burma more fully towards a civilian government. i stress the need to find durable and effective solutions for the terrible violence, solutions that end discrimination, provide greater security and economic opportunities, protect all citizens and promote greater tolerance and understanding. strengthening human rights protections for all of burma's people is an essential step to realizing the vision we share for the future of this beautiful country. last time i stood here, i said if we continue to see progress towards reform, the ties would grow stronger and the united states would continue to do
10:12 pm
whatever it could to help ensure burma's success. over the last two year, i think we've made good on that pledge. and i want to reiterate the commitment to match continued reforms with greater support and friendship friendships in the future. later today i'm looking toward to speaking with representatives of burma's civil society groups. we're working to create greater opportunities for themselves and future generations. i think these new voices are going to be critical to making sure reform is sustainable and meaningful to the people across the region. i know you're a first advocate on behalf of the people of burma, a future of democracy, and i know you will have a strong partner for the united states. thank you.
10:13 pm
10:14 pm
>> all right, they're starting to take questions from reporters there in myanmar. while he listens to this long question, we're going to remind you that the president and aung san suu kyi are referring to myanmar by its former name, burma. let's listen now to what the president says. >> this is a constant concern in my interactions with the chinese government. it's an issue that i've raised with the president here in burma. i'm pretty blunt and pretty frank.
10:15 pm
if you want a society that is fr free, part of that formula is the free flow of information and ideas. and that requires a free press. that is part of our tradition. as i explained to president xi in china, it's in our dna. we believe in the privacy of individuals being able to pursue their dreams, endowed with certain inalienable rights, and we believe that when governments censor or control information that ultimately that undermines not only the society, but it
10:16 pm
leads to eventual encroachments on individual rights as well. i can't comment on any particular pending case, as you know. that's sort of an ironclad rule or any particular prosecution. i'll read back to you what attorney general holder has said, which is no journalist is going to go for jail for doing their job. i recognize that in our own society we have to constantly balance the need for certain national security issues to remain secret for journalists pursuing leads wherever they can. and the good news is we've got court answer we've got a first
10:17 pm
amendment. and we've got a whole bunch of tools to ensure that that balance is properly debated and adjudica adjudicated. but i think that when i am traveling, it is important as the piston united states to not just talk about our interests but also to talk about our values. sometimes it impacts, sometimes it doesn't. i got this president from president xi. it might not be the one he was expecting, but he did end up taking the question. so, you know, you just keep on chipping away and seeing if we can make progress. hold on a second. don't try to segue into a second question. >> the national league for
10:18 pm
democracy has always been against violence of any kind, either on racial grounds or religious grounds. on ideological grounds. we do not believe violence rarely resolves anything at all. struggle for democracy has been carried out with a strong grasp on the principle of nonviolence. also we believe in the rule of law. if you ask how do we propose to resolve all of these problems of violence between communitiecomm between different ethnic groups, we've got to start with rule of law. people have to feel secure before they can start talking to one another. people who feel threatened are not going to sit down and sort their problems. we should look to the rule of law.
10:19 pm
people are learning to live in harmony with one another. we have to dare to live according to the principles of democracy. i think we'll get there, but it will take some time. we will remain fully committed to the principle of nonviolence. >> aung san suu kyi, talking about the fact that the country has been taking slow steps, slower than perhaps the world would want to see towards democracy. the president met earlier with the president of the country, myanmar, to encourage democratic reforms and respect the rights of muslim minorities as we just heard aun san suu kyi say pl we
10:20 pm

10:23 pm
white house perimeter fence and entered the bulilding through a unlocked door. joe johns has more about the report released today. >> there were communications breakdowns, there were people talking over top of each other on the radios. there were officers who couldn't see because there was construction going on here at the white house. and there was also a question why one individual did not unleash his canine dog on omar gonzalez when he was crossing the yard. and here's what they said about this. he said that a man was parked with his dog on the white house driveway when omar gonzalez jumped the north fence. the officer was on a call on his personal cell phone on speaker, it says, without his radio ear piece in his ear. he had left his second tactical radio in his locker. so there's that. they say there is more training now required for secret service officers who are working here on
10:24 pm
the white house grounds, including how to deal with individuals who don't appear to be carrying a lethal weapon. and there's also a question, of course, about people losing their jobs and a reduction in force here with the secret service. a lot of questions tonight and this report only creates more. >> julia pearson was called before congress to testify, she then submitted her resignation. north korea has countered increased russian military operation. this as moscow denies nay co claims that russian troops have crossed into ukraine. more now. >> reporter: this is a rare view inside the fighting in eastern ukraine. a gun battle at the airport in donetsk. then a rebel tank fires and
10:25 pm
destroys. these are ukrainian forces battling separatists armed and supported by russia. and now more russian heavy weapons are on the way. new images of russian military vehicles and artillery roll into ukraine. ukraine's president says his country has lost control of its eastern border. >> reporter: the ukrainian/russian border is repeatedly crossed by the russian regular forces. >> now the same russian forces say the nato supreme allied commander are firing at drones from the international observer mission. reiterating moscow frequent denials, today the russian foreign ministry spokesman said no russian forces of any kind are in ukraine. >> translator: there are no military forces or any military movement across the border. and moreover, there is no presence of our troops in the territory of ukraine.
10:26 pm
and well, washington and just about every other state in the country is in a bitter, bitter cold night right here in the united states. derek van dam here. unusual. five weeks till winter, right? >> it is. yeah. this is very, very early for this time of year. did you know the average low temperature on thursday morning was only 25 degrees fahrenheit across the entire united states? it's not all bad for everyone involved. in fact, there are some happy snowboarders and skiers, me being one of them. i can't wait to join. there's more snow to come as we continue to track the cold weather across this region. by the way, denver, colorado, reached a temperature of 14 degrees fahrenheit below zero. negative 14. that is the coldest november low temperature in 135 years. wow, amazing.
10:27 pm
we're kpnting temperatures to be very close to this. we've got winter weather advisory, winter storm warning meaning more snow for the skirs and snowboarders. we certainly don't see this this time of year and over a foot of snow possible across the mountains of colorado. temperatures continue to plunge including atlanta. daytime highs only in the upper 40s and lower 50s. have you ever seen the greek letter omega?
10:28 pm
this produces a particular type of weather pattern that means we are not going to see big changes anytime soon. that cold air will continue for the next several weeks. so expect more winter weather. natalie? >> i have never known to look for the omega. any day now a grand jury in the u.s. could announce its degs in the shooting death of an unarmed teenager which, as you know, sparked much protests in ferguson, missouri. up next here, what a new expert may signal about the michael brown case. (rob kolar); so we've had a tempur-pedic for awhile,
10:29 pm
10:31 pm
>> today barack obama met with aung san suu kyi. myanmar is set to hold national elections next year. isis has a new recording online, reportedly from al-baghdadi. it calls for global jihad and condemns the u.s.-led coalition against isis as a failure. a doctor in sierra leone is heading to the u.s. to be treated for ebola. the surgeon is is sierra leone national but permanent resident of the u.s. it was unclear if he was working with ebola patients when he was infected. he'll arrive in nebraska if his condition is stable enough to allow travel. liberia's president has lifted a 3-month-old state of emergency
10:32 pm
imposed after the ebola outbreak. new numbers indicate the number of cases in liberia is leveling off. president ellen johnson says the fight against ebola is not over, but curfews will be reduced. weekly markets will resume and schools will prepare to reopen. that's got to feel good for the people of that country. three clinical trial, meantime, for ebola will begin next month in west africa. doctors without borders will head up the experiments in guinea and liberia. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has more about it. >> we know that there are going to be three centers of west africa that are going to have these clinical trials underway. they're looking for at least 100 patients and they're going to see how well they do over two weeks. these patients. they're going to see how long the survival is, what kind of survival they have as compared to previous jut breaks. that's how they're going to be conducting this trial. it's something that's very different than the way science is normally conducted.
10:33 pm
we normally think of giving some patients the medication, some patients do not get the medication. and you compare these two groups. this is an extraordinary circumstance. this is how dr. peter hornby is going to be partnering on this described it. there's a great need for these trials. we have these products which may or may not work in ebola, in patients with ebola. and the only way we can test them is during an epidemic. if we cannot find a treatment, we have to do it now. >> again, extraordinary circumstances there. what they're going to be testing are some of the medications and some of the treatments you heard of before. one of the centers is going to get blood transfusions. and specifically, that's blood transfusions from people who have survived ebola. the thought is that if they survive ebola, they may have certain antibodies in their blood that could help somebody else. another medication was given to ashoka mukpa.
10:34 pm
he did well. they're trying to determine if this medication makes a difference. we don't know for sure. they're going to want to answer that question. the last medication is going to be given at a third location. these medications, many of them have been given. there is an assumption that they worked at least animal models. they want to now confirm that in humans. >> dr. sanjay gupta for us. he'll keep us notified if they make any break throughs. the director of the u.s. national institute of allergy and infectious diseases says while there is a chance for good results hereby, there are also a lot of risks. >> the approach that's being taken has the possibility, unfortunately, of not really getting a definitive answer, because it's not like they're comparing one to another. they're taking three different sites and testing three different interventions. hopefully there will be a good answer to that, knowing which of
10:35 pm
them, maybe more than one, actually works. the best case scenario is that they see a dramatic difference between one group and another to have indicate, suggest but not definitively prove that the intervention in group a is clearly better than the intervention in group b, or maybe the intervention in group b doesn't work at all and the intervention in group a does work. that's what they're trying to do. comparing three different interventions in three different places. one of the dangers of not doing a strict comparison within a group is that you may not definitively know whether one does or does not. it's a chance you take, but on the other hand, you could also on the good part of it, you could get a quick answer right away. but the best way is to compare within a single group two different approaches. either one approach that is, for example, standard of care, give them very good care, replenish. of fluids, balancing electrolyles compared to the same thing plus an additional
10:36 pm
drug. that would give a much more definitive answer, but the way they're doing it now could give a quick, good sustainable answer. with the latest death toll from the ebola outbreak in west africa has now pusurpassed 5,00. more on barack obama's meeting today with aung san suu kyi. the two spoke about the slowing pace of reform in meeian mar, also known as burma. both leaders agreeing the transition to democracy will take some time. here they are from a few moments ago. we're going through let's say a bumpy patch. but this bumpy patch is something that we can negotiate with commitment and with help and understanding of our friends from all over the world. so let's not exaggerate some
10:37 pm
difficulties. but at the same time, let's not exaggerate the rosy picture either. what we need is a healthy balance between optimism and pessimism. we need to view the situation for what it was. but at the same time, we all have to be confident that we will get there. we will get where we want to get to because that's what our people want. >> many difficult choices still lie ahead. the process of reform is by no means complete or irreversible. for many, progress has not come fast enough or spread far enough. people need to feel safe in their homes. and not subject to arbitrary harassment by horts, or individuals acting with immupu y impunity.
10:38 pm
>> take you now to a story we continue to follow in ferguson, missouri, in the u.s. bracing now for new unrest as a grand jury prepares to rule on whether to indict a white policeman for the killing of an unarmed black teenager. many are on pins and needles waiting to see what happens. attorneys for michael brown's family are supporting the missouri governor's call for peaceful protests. all of this as the jurors hear from a famous forensic pathologist. >> reporter: the grand jury looking into the case that has spawned more than three months of daily protests in ferguson, missouri, is a step closer to a decision. thursday, the 12 jurors heard from dr. michael baden, a forensic pathologist hired by michael brown's family to perform one of three autopsies on the unarmed teenager who was shot and killed by darren wilson. dr. baden who has a history of
10:39 pm
high profile cases including a reinvestigation of the jfk assassination and the oj simpson murder trial wouldn't say anything about his system here when he left. but the family attorney who hired baden did talk. >> there is evidence that shows michael brown had his hands up, yes. >> it appears that his appearance today that we're probably getting to the end of the witness list. >> so far, most of the evidence that has leaked out of the grand jury has favored wilson's version of events, including eyewitness testimony and wilson's own story, saying brown reached for the officer's gun through the window of his patrol vehicle. but with the witness with brown that day said brown was trying to full away. the official autopsy leaked to the st. louis post dispatch in october says brown's right hand had gunshot residue on it.
10:40 pm
whether brown reached for the gun is in dispute. there was a question of how far brown was away from officer wilson when brown was killed and what that said about whether or not wilson feared for his life. those are some of the issues the grand jury has to consider. while the brown family's attorneys spoke in missouri, officer wilson's attorney spoke to cnn from st. louis about whether the police union supports hiss use of force and wilson's version of events. >> the answer is they don't. obviously they're interested in their members and making sure their members are safe. look, justice is a process. they support the process. >> but it's a process brown's parents and protesters don't trust. >> here's the problem. you have a grand jury, they only
10:41 pm
have one voice in there. and that is historically, they're going to do whatever the prosecutor wants them to do. >> well, far from ferguson in geneva switzerland this week, the michael brown killing has been a key case before the united nations committee against torture. among those appears before the committee were michael brown's parents. here's cnn's erin mcgloughlin. >> a group of protesters stood up, fists raised. meanwhile, michael brown's parents and listened intently as members of the u.n. committee against torture had some strong words for the united states. >> they are disturbing evidence of excessive force on parts of police officers, especially towards african-americans and
10:42 pm
other persons of color. we seem to demonstrate that the current mechanisms of accountability are insufficient. >> for its part, the u.s. delegation says the federal government is taking action. >> among the federal government's efforts in ferguson, missouri, are an ongoing and active criminal investigation into the fatal shooting of michael brown, which is separate from the local investigation and is looking at whether there were federal civil rights violations. >> reporter: the u.n. committee also asked about what the united states is doing to stop the mill tarization of police, an apparent reference to the way the police responded to the protests that followed michael brown's death. u.s. delegation responded that that program is under review. a u.n. committee is expected to submit its report looking at united states compliance with the u.n. conventions against torture on november 28. and under the terms of the treaty, the united states is legally obligated, a u.n.
10:43 pm
spokesperson tells me, to follow up on those recommendations. meanwhile, michael brown's attorney says he's happy with the way the day went. he said now the world is watching to make sure what happened in ferguson, missouri, never happens again. cnn, geneva, switzerland. welling, coming up here, investigators say there was no wrong doing when fifa awarded the world cup tournament to qatar and russia. so why is the fbi stepping up its investigation? also rape allegations resurface for comedian bill cosby. how an online campaign turned dark. ♪ hi. i'm new ensure active clear protein drink. >>clear huh? i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got 8 grams of protein. new ensure active clear protein. 8 grams protein. zero fat. ensure. take life in.
10:45 pm
fi a's report said that there was no wronggoing in giving russia and qatar the 2018 and 2022 world cups respectively. it said the investigation did not find any violations or breaches of the relevant rules and regulations. but just hours later, the new york attorney who led the inquiry said fifa was wrong and he would be appealing the findings. he cede today's decision contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts.
10:46 pm
this was the reaction of the fade of the enlish football association. >> he has made a bit of a mockery of the whole process as the person who did the investigation says the report didn't reflect what he believed. i'm a bit shocked by it as i'm sure most people are. >> and in the u.s., the fbi now says it is stepping up its corruption investigation into senior leaders of fifa. well, for many, many years bill cosby has cultivated the image of a loveable comedian and one of tv's favorite dads. but there's a dark side to the legendary comic story -- rape allegations by multiple women stretching back decades. cosby has repeatedly denied the allegations. they're resurfacing, though this week.
10:47 pm
>> hey! >> an ongoing publicity stunt is backfires so badly of bill cosby it's endangering an image he spent a lifetime building. the 77-year-old comedic genius who never swears on stage and who played the wholesome dr. huxtable on a tv show is causing years old sexual abuse allegations to resurface. he issued an online challenge to meme or caption a few old cosby show photos. go ahead, meme me. >> my two favorite things, jell-o pudding and rape. look at this whacky shirt i'm wearing. also, i'm a serial rapist tweeted another person. the rapist label stems from allegations made years ago when several women came forward chaming they had been sexually assaulted by cosby. he was never charged with a crime, but the allegations have lingered for years. and the subject was brought up
10:48 pm
last month in a standup act where cosby's wholesome image was mocked. i don't curse on stage! well, yeah, you're a rapist, so -- >> the most detailed allegation against bill cosby apeered in a lawsuit file in 2005 by a temple university employee who claimed she was drugged and assaulted by cosby. police investigated but did not charge cosby due to lack of evidence. the civil suit was settled confidentially. the same type of story was alleged by tam a green who went live with her story. >> he went from helping me to groping me and kissing me and touching me and handling and taking off my clothes. >> cosby's representatives sads they don't want to respond to old resurfacing allegations. over the years, cosby through his attorneys has repeatedly denied sexually assaulting anyone.
10:49 pm
>> go attack that tree, bite it. >> cosby has a new series with nbc that's supposed to debut next year. it's unclear how, if at all, this new look at old allegations will affect not only that show but also the lasting image of a comedy icon. ted roll lynnins, cnn. >> coming up here, out of this world pictures. we'll show you the remarkable images a european spacecraft is sending back from the surface of a speeding come met. and so far the forecast looks good for al roker. if he can hold out for just a few more hours he'll break a new record in weather casting.
10:50 pm
ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. ever since we launched snapshot, my life has been positively cray-cray. what's snapshot, you ask? only a revolutionary tool that can save you big-time. just plug it in, and the better you drive, the more cash you'll stash. switching to progressive can already save ye $500. snapshot could save ye even more. meat maiden! bringeth to me thine spiciest wings of buffalo.
10:51 pm
>> a tiger is apparently on the loose near disneyland paris. witnesses say they spotted the big cat in a grassy patch. there it is in the parisian suburb. police believe the tiger is domesticated. a disney official says operations haven't been impacted since the park is well guarded. in the meantime, authorities are trying to track the tiger down and tranquilize it. but until the feline is found, they're urging everyone in the community to stay inside. domesticated tiger, where are you going to go?

you can see the foot there and something that nature built 4.6 billion years ago, which is a comet essentially preserved as it was at that time. >> after the lander separated from the rosetta spacecraft wednesday, scientists say touchdown was much rougher than first thought. >> we probably landed twice it's already been announced. we landed three times. there was an inflation of landings. >> harpoon anchors meant to secure the probe to the comet surface apparently failed. the lander bounced at least twice, traveling about a kilometer before coming to a stop. >> this is the landing site and we sit hit it quite accurately the really predicted point. this is known. and then we did this huge jump, something like that. we are somewhere here in the rim of this crater. >> being in the shadow of that rater or cliff could become a problem for the lander, which

depends on solar panels for power. scientists also say one of the lander's three feet may not be secured to the comet. but with scientific experiments under way, the rosetta team says they're ecstatic with what they've seen so far. >> fascinating. we'll get more pictures hopefully. by the way, scientists say there are concerns about philae's battery life, which could impact the length of the mission. apparently the probe ended up in the shadow of a cliff. this position may become problematic because the probe may not get enough sunlight to charge its battery systems. so wait and see. a unique meeting of world record holders. the tallest and the shortest man in the world together for the first time together at the guinness world records day. nearly 600,000 people from around the globe traveled to london in hopes of becoming world record holders. fascinating.
