sir, we're going to need you on the runway. (vo) theraflu starts to get to work in your body in just 5 minutes. (vo) theraflu breaks you free from your worst cold and flu symptoms. (vo) theraflu. serious power. another western hostage murdered by isis. some say the gruesome video footage is a sign of desperation. japan unexpectedly begins a recession that could mean trouble for the prime minister. we'll have more from tokyo this hour. mixed fortunes at this year's g-20 summit which wrapped up this weekend. some leaders leaving on a high note, others not so much. >> it was not his usual performance on the court, why roger federer gave the atp tour a lackluster ending. >> where are his tennis shorts?

>> he was not playing. >> thanks for joining us. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm john vause. >> there is grim confirmation from the white house that isis has yet again beheaded a fifth -- this time a fifth western hostage. peter kassig first went to the middle east as a u.s. soldier but returned as an aid worker. he began delivering food and medical supplies to refugee camps in lebanon. >> president barack obama's called it an act of pure evil. kassig's family says he was detained in eastern syria, held hostage for more than a year and converted to islam going by the name abdul-rahman. >> during the summer of 2012 peter kassig was helping to care for thousands of syrian civilians wounded in the civil w war. >> he spoke with ara damon about his need to do that work. >> reporter: the first time we

met peter was during the summer of 2012. it was quite the sight. peter a former army ranger pale, tattooed and though at the time speaking only a handful of arabic tending to wounded syrians with a compassion that transcended the language barrier. >> we each get one life. we don't get any do-overs. for me it was time to put up or shut up. the way i saw it i didn't have a choice. like this is what i was put here to do. i guess i'm just a hopeless romantic and idealist and i believe in hopeless causes. >> reporter: for peter doing something meant starting his own n nonprofit. just months after we met him he was already delivering humanitarian aid and medical assistance to syrians and refugee camps and inside the war-torn country. profoundly touching all who lived and worked with him. in the words of this syrian activist, he would treat everyone, no one was exempt.

he trained many on first aid. he lived in the house with us. he was extremely kind. he was sad during our times of sorrow and happy for our times of joy. dr. ennis recalls his last conversation with peter saying, i asked him if he was afraid he would be killed and he said no. my life is not worth more than yours. and that he considers himself to be like any other person who was part of the syrian revolution. peter was kidnapped shortly afterwards in october 2013. at some point during his captivity he converted to islam and took on the name abdul-rahman. in this letter drafted to his parents during that time he wrote, if i do die, i figure that at least you and i can seek refuge and comfort in knowing that i went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need." and that is how peter will be remembered, for his humor, laughter, but mostly his drive and compassion. and the way he inspired us all

more than he could ever imagine. >> there's this impression this, belief that there is no hope, you know, that's when it's more important than ever that we come in against all odds and try to do something. >> well, in this latest video the familiar isis figure is back dressed in all black and speaking what sounds like with an english accent. >> in other ways this video is different from the other ones. atika schubert takes a close look at the discrepancies and what they might mean. >> reporter: well, this video is substantially different from previous hostage killing videos released by isis. peter kassig or abdul-rahman kassig doesn't really feature in this video until the very end. it's a very short part of a much longer video and this time there are no orange jumpsuits in the style of guantanamo. the hostage does not make a statement to camera. in fact, we never actually see the killing of peter kassig, we only see his decapitated head at

the feet of that masked militant with a british accent known in the british press here as jihadi john. he delivers a propaganda speech to camera and interestingly it's vaunted with the location that says dabiq in syria, not in raqqah which is the isis stronghold where the previous videos are believed to have been shot. now, most of the video actually features a sort of propaganda history of isis. it talks about the expanding caliphate, talking about allegiance that has come in from libertarian, yemen, saudi arabia, even featuring a map showing that expanding caliphate. it also features a very gruesome and brutal mass murder led by ji d hjihadi and a number of syrian

soldiers and this is particularly brutal and edited for maximum gore. now, why this video was coming out now, for what purpose, we really don't know. it still has to be awe meant indicated. however, we have to remember that there have been reports that abu bakr al baghdadi had been wounded and a british tabloid report that jihadi john had been wounded and identified in that strike. neither has been confirmed but this video may be in response to those reports, perhaps a show of defiance, but also possibly a sign of growing desperation. atika schubert, cnn, london. >> well, for u.s. president obama questions about american military involvement in iraq and syria returned to center stage this weekend. >> wrapping up his tour of asia

and the attendance at the g-20 summit in australia. more details from erin mcpike. >> reporter: as he headed home president obama was briefed aboard air force one by national security adviser susan rice on the latest aggressive move from isis, the apparent beheading of a third america, aid worker peter kassig of indiana. the video's release came just hours after the president shifted slightly from his vow that he would never commit u.s. combat ground troops to fight isis in iraq. >> there are always circumstances in which the united states might need to deploy u.s. ground troops. if we discovered that isil had gotten possession of a nuclear weapon and we had to run an operation to get it out of their hands, then, yes, you can anticipate that not only would chairman dempsey recommend me sending u.s. ground troops to get that weapon out of their hands, but i would order it.

>> reporter: dempsey, the nation's top general has just been in iraq. evaluating whether the u.s. presence there is enough. the president, though, held firm that the u.s. will not change its position against working with syria's president al assad to battle isis. >> assad has ruthlessly murdered hundreds of thousands of his citizens. and as a consequence has completely lost legitimacy with the majority of the country. for us to then make common cause with him against isil would only turn more sunnis in syria in the direction of supporting isil and would weaken our coalition that sends a message around the

region, this is not against -- a fight against sunni islam. >> cnn's erin mcpike. his comments come after reports he had ordered a wholesale review of his administration's policy on syria. in iraq now it's believed isis is behind two bombings against baghdad international airport. >> one targeting a u.n. convoy headed to the green zone. no one hurt in that but the other attack was a suicide car bombing. it's unclear if there were casualties there. well, japan flipped into a surprise recession after a dismal third quarter, the country expecting its economy to grow more than 2%, instead it contracted. >> the yen slipped to a seven-year low against the u.s. dollar and japanese stocks fell sharply, the nikkei closed down almost 3%, 16,974. some analysts are saying shinsho abe's policies could be blame.

jeffrey kingston joins me. jeffrey, thank you for being with us. do you agree with some analysts who say abe's policies have tanked the economy? >> well, certainly has been a really bad day for abe and for a abeonomics. i think that the fact is that he is going to postpone the tax increase means abe is acknowledging that abeonomics isn't working and a recent poll show that 85% of the jap people think it's a flop. so the first arrow was monetary expansion and second is fiscal stimulus, the third arrow is structural reforms and everybody is waiting for that to happen. and so this third arrow, the incredibly shrinking arrow has not yet happened and a lot believe that is part of the problem and they see the recent massive increase in quantitative easing by the bank of japan as an act of desperation. and adding to his woes yesterday, he got his nose

bloodied in the elections, voters there happened a landslide to the man who opposes abe's policies on u.s. bases in okinawa. >> there's all this talk there could be the possibility of a snap election and to could make a decision to call it as soon as tuesday that could happen next month. is that likely to happen and it seems likely it does, his party, the conservatives will win that easily, wouldn't they? >> yeah, i think everybody believes he is going to call a snap election. the ldp will win comfortably. they'll lose some seats but they'll still have a majority. but a lot of people think it's a distraction, you know, there's a lot of important business at hand. the ldp already has a comfortable majority. why doesn't he get on with it and looks like a great distraction from the accumulating failures and empty pledges of abe so it might be a miscalculation. i mean last month his popularity

fell about 8%, so maybe he wants to get this election in before it gets worse and start some gloating. on the other hand the upside for him he gets a two-year extension to his term in office and ldp in control, more time to get their agenda passed. >> there's this real possibility that second stage of this sales tax increase will most likely be put on hold for a period of time. what message, though, does that send to the international community? how crucial is it for abe to get that sales tax hike through to get japan's debt under control? >> well, yeah, there is a big concern that it's rising. clearly there is pressure to get the fiscal house in order, but because the economy tanked and contracted over 7% in the second quarter and an additional 1.6% in the third quarter there is a fear that if he goes ahead with the tax increase, it will really

derail the economic recovery and that tax receipts will actually decline so i think that there's a consensus that's probably a good idea to postpone the tax increase but things don't really look good for abe right now. >> if you look at all these numbers they're pretty awful. any good news? is there a ray of sunshine they can look at. >> well, i think the okinawans feel a ray of sunshine their candidate run and message is close down the base and stop the project to build a new base for the u.s. marines. but other than that i think many japanese feel a bit down in the dumps, household income has shrunk under abe and things aren't looking too good when you go on a trip, the yen sinking, everything is 5% more expensive so a lot more bad news. for abe the opposition is in total disarray and likely he'll

waltz to victory. >> thank you very much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> sorry to be depressing. >> that's okay. we get that a lot here. >> yes, we do. ahead here, recovery crews picking up the pieces of what is left of malaysian flight 17. their challenge, proving exactly what brought the plane down. plus, we will tell you what steps are being taken to contain a bird flu outbreak in the netherlands. q.

after months of delay and chaos an conflict recovery of the wreckage for malaysian airlines flight 17 started on sunday. european crews used cranes to load pieces of the fuselage on to trucks that will then go to the netherlands for analysis. >> the violent conflict between ukraine and pro-russia separatists kept crew as way from the crash site. >> there is a buildup happening of artillery. earlier this week we reported very publicly that unmarked military convoys, 127 vehicles, were approaching towards this region of ukraine towing things like 120 millimeter howitzer artillery and multiple rocket launch systems and in donetsk, the heaviest shelling and very complex situation.

>> certainly is and you can see the complexities that they face with these pieces of the plane. the operation to remove it expected to take several days, investigators hope to reconstruct part of the plane to try to prove once and for all what and who shot it down. >> that is that recovery going on, some dramatic video surfaced that appears to show the terrifying minutes after mh-17 hit the ground. the amateur video shows people yelling and attempting to put our fires. >> it broke up in the skies over ukraine. it was july, western countries blamed pro-russian separatists for attacking the plane with a missile but russia insists a ukrainian fighter jet shot it down as you know, all 298 people on board were killed. the second round of romania's presidential election ended with a surprise winner. ethnic german johannis is poised to become romania's next president. >> he overcame a ten-point

deficit against the prime minister after a first round election earlier this month. johannis starts his five-month term at the end of the month. outbreak of the bird flu hit a dutch farm. >> authorities identified the virus as a highly contagious strain first detected in germany less than two weeks ago. the european commission is expected to adopt urgent measures today to contain the outbreak and because the disease is lethal to poultry and can spread to humans, the dutch government has temporarily banned the transport of poultry and eggs across the country. the u.s. centers for december control is investigating a fnorovirus. it was during a month long trip and it docked in los angeles after sailing to hawaii and

tahiti. the cruise line says the ship will undergo deep cleaning before leaving on its next voyage. >> one would hope. >> the world of duh. >> holiday from hell. okay. the wife of an ebola patient being treated in the u.s. says she's confident he's getting the care he needs but martin salia remains in extremely critical condition. >> taken there saturday after contracting the virus in his native sierra leone. dr. salia is a legal u.s. resident and treated several ebola patients before becoming infected. >> the u.s. has begun enhanced airport screenings for those whose trips started in mali. the cd and homeland department started this after several ebola cases. >> travelers will have the 21-daimy monitoring. >> liberia has set a goal of having no new ebola cases by

christmas. the president made the announcement saying she thinks her country is making strides in stopping the spread of the disease. >> that is an ambitious goal. we hope it works. more than 2800 people have died in liberia since this outbreak began but just last week the w.h.o. said there are signs new cases are on the decline. >> some of the biggest names in the music industry are helping ebola victims as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of band-aid. >> numbers of one direction and even bono -- >> just take a break. they're all singing on this version of "do they know it's christmas." bob geldof who was behind the initial project, no surprise, he organized this new effort. >> i spoke to the u.n. and the truth of the matter is that they need 20 times now the resources that are in these -- not the

money but the resources, the people, the medicines, the hospital. they need 20 times that. >> now the all-star ensemble released it today available to download online. we'll take a short break on cnn but when we come face after face of mexican college students missing and presumed dead in what some call a police state. the latest on this outrage. plus bundle up in the united states. you're going to have a week that's even colder and snowier and more dangerous on the roads, it seems than last week. over 200,000 people are hospitalized every year with flu complications. so to kill the germs that may make your family sick, we recommend using lysol disinfectant spray every day. lysol is approved to kill 80 germs, including hard to kill viruses that can live on surfaces for over 4 weeks.

anger is growing in mexico over the investigation into the disappearance of those 43 students from a teacher's college. >> as rafael romo reports, even before the students were missing it was a hot bed for protest. >> it's the town square but it looks more like a tent city. in downtown guerrero state striking teachers have taken over not only the square but the town hall and other government buildings. "we're against what the government is doing," she says. the striking teachers took over the town square seven weeks ago to protest education reforms and

demand salary increases. now their protest shifted to the disappearance of 43 students from a rural college. they were taken alive and we want them alive, they chapter during a meeting inside the town hall, a building that has been looted and vandalized. nearby facilities have been spray painted with graffiti. this message says, i'm tired of the narcogovernment. they've been camping out since late september and will move from here until they get answers from their demands. government officials are trying to build more effective police forces to improve security. >> maybe a sign that we have is not up to these terrific. >> reporter: the teachers are not the only ones protesting. marches like this have become a daily owe current. this one, the capital of guerrero state is staged by

college students. another teachers union is staging violent protests like this one where they tofshed the party building. now it seems like the protesters are pushing back the police officers. police forces are seemingly unable to contain the protests. there were no arrests made even after the demonstrators vandalized the entire building. some protesters have taken it to other levels assaulting delivery trucks and taking their merchandise and vehicles, a situation that worries the locals and scares away investors and tourists alike. rafael romo, cnn, mexico. >> we do try to find good news on occasion. >> this is not it. one of the coldest novembers is about to get even colder. >> yeah. >> for people in the u.s. >> pedram javaheri is over there

at the international weather center with the grim details on how long we should stay under the covers and when we should actually emerge. >> are you guys going to call out? i feel a sick day coming around. >> i feel april, april might be a good time to come back to work. >> may. >> give it a few months. it's going to be the coldest we've seen since march and april across portions of the southern united states. taking about seven, eight, nine months since it was last this cold and talking about pretty impressive spell of cold air going from cold to frigid in our wording when it comes to what is ahead of us over the next 24 to 48 hours as the door opens up again and coldest of the air mass pushes into areas of northern georgia, alabama on into even portions of arkansas where temperatures have been very cold in recent days, but here's how cold we're talking on tuesday morning. down to 21, minus 8 celsius in atlanta and factor in the wins and it goes down to the teens.

new orleans down to 35. look at this. call the beatles, the '50s coming back. that is about 15 celsius for the overnight low temperatures, the coldest they've seen in quite some time and quick rebound in the temperature trend in the next couple of days. atlanta from the upper 50s down to 36 for a high temperature. rebounds back up to the mid-40s and notice everyone takes that initial nosedive tuesday and with the exception being around the midwest where they've seen the worst of it and looks like a warming trend is possible. 30 million under advisories and warnings. heavy snow in the forecast. 3 to 5 inches. not tremendous snowfall but it'll come down quickly and the temperatures again very cold so if it's extremely cold makes it difficult for the moisture to be present to produce the record amount of know that you typically see is across in region. that's indicative of 5 million

people underneath tornado watches at this very hour so the temperatures here about 70 fahrenheit on the gulf coast as it is coming down as far as snow well to the north. that clash of air mass sparked a few thunderstorms and a few tornadoes and radar showing the portions of southwest alabama, tornado may be on the ground at this moment so kind of shows you the stark difference here in the weather set up across portions of the united states. i notice back to the west, denver finally warms up into the 40s which is about 4 to 5 degrees celsius and chicago sees a warming trend so everyone going to see some improvement in the coming days after we get through thursday, friday and saturday. it's the latest in weather. more news coming right back. we weren't always that adventurous

until we discovered k-y yours & mine. this one feels amazing for me, this one is fantastic for her. yeah. and when they combine it opens up a whole new door for us. i've come to clean your pool. what pool? [ female announcer ] k-y yours & mine. keep life sexy.

thanks for staying with us wherever you are in the united states or around the world. you're watching cnn. i'm john vause. >> i'm natalie allen. yes, thank you for being with us. our top stories. >> the white house has confirmed isis as beheaded a fifth westerner. president obama called the execution of peter kassig an act of pure evil. kassig first went to the middle east as a u.s. soldier, later returned as a medical worker, aiding syrian refugees. >> new video appears to show the fiery aftermath of malaysia airlines flight 17 moments after crashing in eastern ukraine. the amateur video shows people reacting in shock and confusion. dutch officials say recovery of the wreckage finally started on sunday. they were moving it bit by bit. investigators were delayed many months because of the ongoing fighting there. >> a dismal third quarter pushed japan back into recession and experts were forecasting growth of more than 2% but instead the

economy shrank. the yen slipped to a seven-year low against the u.s. dollar. well, leaders from this weekend's g-20 summit in australia are getting mixed reviews. they say they accomplished a great deal. >> of course, they'd say that. critics say some politicians there are missing the mark. our new asia pacific editor andrew stevens was at the summit and reports on who won and who lost. >> reporter: a warm welcome for the u.s. president from students in brisbane. >> hello, brisbane. ♪ an even warmer welcome from students in myanmar. >> wonderful to be back in myanmar. >> reporter: the u.s. president tasting popularity on the road that he can only dream of at home in the aftermath of disastrous midterm electioned. >> let me just say you're only as popular in somebody else's country. when you're in your own country

everybody is complaining. >> reporter: he did more than just generate a positive vibe. his three-count four-summit tour for a change not blighted by domestic issues had substance, not just style. a new trade agreement on high-tech products with china cutting these restrictions for chinese visitors and forcing climate change to the top of the global agenda with a new plan to slash carbon emissions by 2025 all unveiled by the president in his ten-day trip. but he wasn't the only world leader getting things done. sharing the wins, the chinese president xi jinping. xi also unveiling new climate change policy, the first ever binding on chinese carbon emissions as a well as a series of trade deals and the first step in what could be a de-escalation of tensions between china and japan in the east china sea. a very public handshake with the japanese leader shinzo abe. at the other end of the scale

australian prime minister tony abbott. >> for a long time most australians who went to see a doctor have been seen at no charge and we would like to see a $7 co-payment for people who are going to see the doctor. >> reporter: his opening speech as host of the g-20 drawing criticism for its focus on local politics rather than the global picture. the opposition leader describing it as weird and graceless. he was also very publicly on the wrong side of the climate debate. the man who abolished the carben tax tried and failed to keep climate change off the official g-20 agenda. and finally, vladimir putin, a verbal punching bag for many of the g-20 leaders over russia's reported actions in ukraine. but if he was ruffled, he didn't show it. all smiles for g-20 host abbott even though he took the earliest possible opportunity to get out of brisbane.

andrew stevens, have becnn, bri australia. >> a story closely watched. a grand jury could decide whether to indict a white police officer for fatally shooting a black unarmed teenager. >> darren wilson killed michael brown in ferguson, missouri back in august. brown's death led to months of sometimes violent protests in the st. louis area. well, now attorneys say newly released video contradicts what the police department said about some of the events surround the shooting. here's cnn's sara sidner. >> reporter: the public can now see some of the video and hear some of the audio that fills in some of the gaps as to what happened on august 9th when michael brown was shot and killed by officer darren wilson here in ferguson. what you're seeing and hearing is some sound from the dispatch to officer wilson and some video of officer wilson coming in and

out of the police department and there are a few things it tells us. the audio that you hear lets us know that there was at some point a call to officer wilson to tell him that there was a suspect who was accused of stealing cigars from one of the convenience stores here. but as the family of michael brown points out he did not know that in his very initial greeting of michael brown when he told him to get out of the street. now on to the video that you see of him going in and out of the police department, that surveillance video, that video shows you what he looks like. it doesn't give you much sense of what his demeanor is but certainly shows you what he looks like and at the very beginning of all this there was some information that was leaked from the department and leaked from sources who still remain unnamed who said that officer wilson had been badly beaten about the eye and that he had very bad injuries to his eye socket. you can see that is not the case from the video.

however, the police department did come out not long after that and say, no, he did not have major injuries to his face. although he did have some swelling. now let's talk a little bit about what's happened here as far as whether or not officer wilson will immediately get his position back if, indeed, he is not indicted. that is something that some of the local stations here had reported. we did talk to the mayor and the police chief and they say it is much more complicated than that. there are other investigations that still need to happen before that could happen. here's what the mayor had to say. >> this is a current investigation that talks about things that rise to the level of criminality. doesn't mean there might not be something still of concern to address in an internal investigation. >> so breaking a policy rule. >> sure. and so, again, like i said it's just -- i think it's premature to talk about what the status would be until all that has been addressed. >> reporter: what people are waiting for first is that

announcement with the grand jury's decision. everyone is on pins and needles in this town, everyone is planning for it but police, protesters, residents, they are all waiting to hear the fate of officer wilson and to see what that's going to mean in the streets of ferguson and the surrounding cities. >> well, still to come here on cnn, one of the biggest tennis matches, people waiting to see and guess who couldn't play. >> that guy there, roger federer and we'll explain why when we come back. coughing can really be disruptive. delsym helps silence coughs for a full 12 hours with an advanced time release formula for all day or all night relief. bianca! [cheering] delsym. silence is relief.

welcome back. government drug agents staged a surprise raid on several professional u.s. football teams on sunday. according to a report in "the washington post" it was part of an investigation into prescription drug abuse in the nfl. the raids stem from a lawsuit filed by thousands of nfl players which alleges players who are illegally given painkillers by doctors and trainers to keep them on the field. a highly anticipated tennis match ended before it even began on sunday. this was disappointment all around. >> talk about a buzzkill for the fans. roger federer was slate ed d toe novak djokovic but pulled out moments before it was about to start. >> we have more now from london. >> reporter: the stage was set for a final showdown but instead of going out with a bang, the

atp season closed with a whimper after roger federer stepped out on court here at the packed o2 arena and announced to fans he was not fit to play. shortly after revealed to press he tweaked his back in the final tiebreaker of the third set against fellow swiss stan wawrinka and aftering fighting so hard to get here he wanted to tell the fans himself. >> good evening. i'm sorry i'm here in a track suit and not in a match outfit. unfortunately, i'm not match fit to play the match tonight. clearly i wished it wasn't so. i try all year to be ready for the atp world tour finals and didn't want it to end this way but tried everything i could last night and today, painkillers, treatment, rest and so forth, warm-up till the very end but just i can't compete at this level with no and it

would be too risky at my age to do this. i wanted to come out permanently and excuse myself for not playing. >> it's the 17,000 fans who miss out and some have paid up to $10 for a ticket and there was a mixed response to the news. >> very disappointed. you know, you pay a lot of money to come here. for most of us it's a once in a lifetime chance so disappointing that the match isn't taking place. >> but i thought it's roger federer. i didn't realize he was injured. >> i think he should play. if rafa would be here he would play even wounded, even injured. so i'm not happy but i can expect from roger exactly what he did. >> i think he is as disappointed as we are. he loves tennis. it's his thing so i think he was very disappointed.

good of him to give the news himself. >> reporter: speaking shortly afterwards novak djokovic said it's not the way he wanted to win. it was even difficult for him to talk about but it was still the crown for all his achievements this year. christina mcfarland, cnn, london. i feel like that guy who said i want him to play. i paid my money. make him play. i don't care how much pain he's in. make him play. >> a little surprising. >> i'm that guy. >> yeah, you're that guy. >> all my years in israel in the mideast i do not remember flooding at all so we have this flood situation that people are cleaning up. how bad is it? >> 300 days of sunshine is what israel sees typically on any given year and this particular case, pretty bad. talking about a month's worth of rainfall and this is the result in tel aviv.

tremendous rainfall coming down at times and three lightning strikes that injured two people and the third one sparked the fire in jerusalem but when you have this much water, of course, you're going to break any sort of river's banks across the area and significant damage within communities downstream and you know what's going on across this portion of the world. many of these areas across gaza city, the images we're showing you on the graphics because, of course, war-torn and have tremendous water come down so a complete mess across the area. this is all the same storm system impacting italy last week made its way all the way across the mediterranean and brought the tremendous rainfall on the eastern side right towards tel aviv which is about three inch, the 83 millimeters, a month's worth of rainfall and six hour what is it took to bring in all that moisture. there goes that storm system right now across northwestern iran getting in on the action and higher elevations that translates into heavy snow but going back to italy because this

is the next round of wet weather coming in which means it'll eventually make its way out towards areas of tel aviv eventually on, say, wednesday and thursday but significant flooding across this region, as well. video coming out of areas of italy showing you what we're talking about. this happening on saturday on into sunday. they saw rainfall over the past 15 days that would equate to roughly half a year's worth that has come down in two weeks' time. four fatalities occurred. one considered missing across genoa, italy, with a population of 600,000 and this video not something you recommend doing, speed up through a flooded road as that gentleman looks like an official was trying to do in that portion but here goes the storm track. what set off this mess across portions of europe. we've had a storm track that stayed well to the south so the storm has followed this line across portions of spain into areas of italy and brought in that 500 momentum millimeters,

months' worth in a matter of 15 days and heavy rainfall and accompanied with that hurricane-force wind, about 125 or 26 kilometers per hour, 75 or 80-mile-an-hour winds across this region. the good news this, is the last storm system. this will exit out of the region and as it does conditions are expected to improve. we do have a possibility for severe weather still left in the forecast but beyond, say, wednesday and thursday, some improvement is in the region. more news coming up soon. over 200,000 people are hospitalized every year

>> liftoff of space shuttle. >> reporter: this stunning movie of images from the international space station was a centralabled by a french filmmaker but could become the corner office view for google, that is if they want to build a space program and with $50 billion a year in income analysts at piper jaffray say they could sure afford it. >> fundamentally technology companies want to change the world and invest in things that have long-term growth opportunities, really at the core of what technology is all about and ultimate long-term opportunity is space. >> reporter: the moffett federal airfield is tied to a nasa research center and feature vast hangars that once held zeppelins for the military. they sometimes develop fog banks inside. google will restore the hangars, open a museum and according to nasa begin using the historic facility for research, development, assembly and testing in the areas of space

exploration, aviation, rover robotics and other emerging technologies. >> spacex 3 is under three. >> farfetched? maybe not. spacexvenlt which grew out of the paypal fortune is reaching for the heavens and recent setbacks it is robust. >> let's brainstorm this puppy. >> put the coffee in the pot. >> reporter: as noted in the movie "the internship" google seems fearless about expanding developing driverless cars and wearable computers, delving into package delivery and working on a pill to hunt cancer cells and launching a program to wire the world with balloons. >> because it turns out that if you use balloons, it's faster and easier and cheaper to give everything the internet. >> what have you done lately? >> oh, gosh, i feel so inadequate. >> totally.

>> well, this deal -- >> doing a good job. >> it will help nasa and save them $6.3 million a year in maintenance costs, of course, that is church change. >> absolutely. yeah. that's the cost of one of their vending machines. the european space agency says the philae probe completed its mission even though last week's landing didn't go as well. >> i feel sorry about the philae. it's gone. >> it's in the wrong spot to recharge its batteries. it popped up and landed again, wrong spot. scientists are working to get its position in a better position. >> it's sending pictures back to earth. the top circle on the right is the lander and just below it is its shadow. >> the lander about the size of a dishwasher. another challenge, the probe isn't secure on the comet. we're not done. it's more. teetering there.

concern it could bounce off. we talked to former astronaut leroy chow. >> failed to fire that would have secured it and bounced 700 meters away and the solar rays were not getting as much sun as had been planned. what happened is they've gotten quite a lot of data as i understand already but unfortunately, the batteries have run down. not to say it won't get charged up over the coming days and weeks to be able to revive it and get more data out of the lander. >> they basically ended up in the shade where they weren't planning to be. if you were to take 100% of a successful mission when it comes to data how much far along are they and what have they learned. >> i know they've drilled and picked into the -- i think

they'll have a lot of information coming occupant of those samples answering basic questions like could comets have provided most of the water for the earth and maybe even the chemical building blocks of life itself and if that turns out to be supported, that has pretty fundamental implications it probably happened a lot of other places in the universe, as well, so i think the importance of the science that's coming back or has come back and more that may come back is can't really be understated. >> trying to understand this, my simple mind because the harpoons you say didn't fire so the comet -- the philae lander is not drilled into the comet so is there a concern that it might fly off or, you know, it won't be able to stay on the comet? >> well, sure, i mean the gravity of this comet is very, very small. it's only four kilometers in width and can imagine that it's very low gravity, in fact, the escape velocity of the comet is half a meter per second so if an

astronaut were on the surface and jumped up half a meter in one second that astronaut would fly off into space so, yeah, it is not secure. the harpoons were supposed to fire upon landing about a foot into the comet and then, you know, hold it down. so just the operations of drilling and picking, they've got to be very careful about doing that and have been and the lander is still on the surface so needed for that operation. >> philae was supposed to transmit data if it got the solar panels up and working for nine month. >> let's accentuate the positive. they landed it on a comet. >> exactly. >> gopro camera and little bit of luck. >> how two cnn journalists covering midterm elections managed to capture a rare phenomenon called a bore tide. >> take a look. >> surfing/bore tide. right through the bore tide to wait to take you away and just

ride it for as long as you can go which can be miles. it's beautiful. i mean, you almost fall off just because you're looking at the scenery. you're distracted and got to catch yourself and then you got to remember that you have to balance yourself on the wave to stay so you can't look around too much. honestly my thighs, you got to stay like -- they're just flexed the entire time so you're just like do i get off just because i'm so tired or do i get on my belly for a little bit and rest? curious person. that's what everybody says. >> i need to have more fun in my life. >> we all do. >> thanks for watching. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm john vause.
