israel defense forces say at least nine people have been wounded in what it calls a terror attack. it happened just a short time ago at a jerusalem synagogue. >> this is all according to the twitter account of peter learner. the incident comes amid rising tensions between israelis and palestinians across the region. ben, this was morning prayers, i understand, at a synagogue, in a religious part of jerusalem. what other details do you have? >> caller: yes, this happened earlier this morning north of the city on a synagogue. according to theis rail eye military spokesman, two

palestinians entered the synagogue early this morning with knives and axes, and in the process, they wounded nine people. now four of the five of them were critically wounded, we're told. four of them seriously hurt in this incident. the israeli police came were and were able to kill the two attackers who were described as palestinians. the israeli authorities are describing this as a terror attack. and of course this comes in a period of extreme tension here in jerusalem. we seem to have daily incidents of attacks from one side or the other. yesterday there were clashes in jerusalem after a palestinian bus driver had been found hung in his bus. the israelis said it was a suicide. the autopsy confirmed this.

but palestinians insisted it was a murder by jewish extremists. afterwards, hamas came out with a statement calling for more attacks on israelis in the aftermath. so certainly, this incident this morning comes at a time of extreme tension here in jerusalem. >> and it seems the attack at that synagogue, just a few miles away from where that palestinian bus drover was found hanged. i know details are still coming in. but as far as the two attackers who have been shot dead, by saying they are palestinians, the assumption is they came from the west bank. are they affiliated from any military group? >> reporter: those details haven't come out yet, but they could be from the west bank, but it's not so easy for palestinians from the west bank to get access to jerusalem because of checkpoints. they could be jerusalem residents, residents of east

jerusalem which is predominantly palestinian. and of course the residents of east jerusalem have access to all parts of jerusalem, west and east. >> ben, thank you, ben wedeman with the very latest on that attack on the jewish synagogue that happened an hour or so ago. ben wedeman will continue to report on that. and we'll bring you more information as soon as we get t. cnn has learned that president obama has ordered a comprehensive review to the u.s. response to americans taken hostage by terrorists overseas. a focus will be on how families are kept informed. >> this comes after the beheading of another american. peter kassig was trying to help the syrian people. now his parents are speaking publicly about their loss. more from nick robertson. >> our hearts are battered, but they will mend. the world is broken, but it will be healed in the end.

and good will prevail. >> reporter: peter kassig's parents are asking for prayers and privacy. the day after a video was released showing the aftermath of the beheading of their son, a u.s. aide worker. the 60-minute video also depicts the slaying of syrians. isis says the video was filmed near the turkish border, significant for them, as they say it's the site they predict for a final christian/must limb battle. >> there's this impression, this belief that there's no hope. that's when it's more important than ever that we come in against all odds and try to do something. >> reporter: the 26 year old started his own non-profit to

deliver humanitarian aid and medical assistance to syrian refugees. >> in 26 years, he has witnessed and experienced first hand more of the harsh realities of life than most of us can imagine. but rather than letting the darkness overwhelm him, he has chosen to believe in the good, in himself and in others. >> reporter: kassig used his medical background to treat wounded syrians until he was captured in syria a year ago. while in captivity, kassig converted to islam and went by the name abdul rachman kassig. the video on sunday doesn't show the indiana native's death nor does it show him speaking before his death, but it does show a masked man dressed in black speaking in what sounds like a british accent, a similar figure appears in earlier videos depicting the beheading of other

westerners. unlike previous videos, isis didn't name the next victim, neither did they mention their losses in u.s. air strikes. kassig is the fifth western hostage, third american, to be kill bid isis since u.s. and allies began air strikes against isis in august. >> our hearts are heavy and are held up by the love and support that have poured into our lives these last few days. >> reporter: nick robertson, cnn, washington. the french interior minister says there's a high probability that ra french citizen took part in the killings. he's identified as maxime hauchard. he traveled to syria last year in july. he told french broadcaster, bfn that the goal of isis is to establish the laws of allah on earth, and his personal goal is to achieve martyrdom.

the fbi has sent out a bulletin to police across the united states warning them to be vigilant in case of violence in ferguson, missouri. >> a grand jury is deciding whether it will charge a white policeman in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager. sara sidner is in ferguson with more. >> reporter: on a day when they marched, missouri's governor declared a state of emergency in preparation for whatever may come when the grand jury releases its decision on whether or not to indict darin wilson in killing of unarmed teen michael brown. the st. louis mayor welcomed the decision. >> i agree with the governor's decision, and this is why. first of all, we don't know what's going to happen or when it's going to happen or what the decision's going to be or what the reaction's going to be. i think we need to make sure that we are prepared for

whatever may happen. >> reporter: but the governor's actions have angered some protesters who say their demonstrations have been peaceful for weeks, and his decision is premature. the decision comes after these images of officer darren wilson were released this weekend. the surveillance tapes released to the st. louis post dispatch show wilson entering and leaving the police station after the august 9th shooting. though the images aren't crystal clear, wilson does not appear to have any major wounds to his face as initially reported by a supports speaking on behalf of wilson to a local radio station. they said he had no major injuries but had slight swelling. police radio traffic details the final moments before and after the shooting of brown. they reveal a bater timeline. but sources say when wilson initially told brown to get out of the middle of the street he did not know brown was a suspect

in a theft of cigars, but the audio seems to reveal moments later he realizes brown and his friend spent the description given by this dispatcher. >> he's with another male. he's got a red cardinals hat, white tee shirt and khaki shorts. >> reporter: wilson is heard saying this. and going after brown and his friend. a confrontation that ensues at the car. forensic evidence later shows two shots were fired inside the car. then more shots rang out, killing brown. but you would never know that from the police radio traffic released by the department. all you can hear after the shooting is this, a woman wailing, and another officer calling for backup. >> 25. >> we need several more units over here. there's going to be a problem. >> reporter: the police have not given an official answer as to exactly why officer darren

wilson did not radio in that shots had been fired or that there was some sort of scuffle at the car. what we do know, though, is that the grand jury is looking into many different things. and this community is simply waiting, and many people worrying about what's going to happen when the grand jury makes its announcement. back to you guys. >> thanks to sarah for that. and you can find much more on the michael brown shooting on our website, including a look at the five key things you'll want to know about the grand jury investigation. find all of that at cnn.com/ferguson. all right. we turn to hong kong now where police are moving away barricades set up by pro-democracy protesterers. this is the scene in the admiralty district. there are some demonstrators helping police carry the barriers away. they have been known as probably the most polite protesters

across the globe. we the are joined now live from hong kong. so christi, even though we are seeing this section of the demonstration shut down, it's not the end of the protests in other parts of hong kong, is it? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. it is not the end of the umbrella movement. as you can see around me in admiralty, the umbrella movement is well under way. i want to tell you about a significant event earlier today that we witnessed, involving that skyscraper up there. what happened there was the very first clear out of a group of pro democracy protesters by court order. the manager of the tower had requested a court injunction asking for the protesters to be cleared from an access road. that was granted to the building, and the police and the bailiffs arrived a few hours ago, and we watched as they slowly dismantled the barricades. and who helped them? the pro democracy protesterers.

they put down the barricades. when i asked why they were taking away their own barricades, they said they plan to reuse them. but perhaps there's another issue happening here as well, the war for public opinion. a survey was recently published saying 70% of the people in hong kong want the protesters to clear the street. we are now nearing two months of the occupation. it has clogged up major arteries and roads, and many people have had enough. they want public opinion to be on their side. >> and it's interesting that you mention that survey. of course the significance of the timing there, with the support for protests dropping. tell us who is supporting the protesters and who isn't? >> reporter: there is still a divide here in hong kong, and it's become even more polarized in the last 52 days. at the very beginning there was a mixture of support and indifference. now there's a mix in tour of

support among the youth of hong kong and when you talk to the youth of hong kong, they really do support the student leaders like joshua wong of the scholarism movement. they see in them the next generation of political leaders in hong kong who are willing to stick their necks out and to demand something like universal suffrage so they'd be able to have control over their own political fate. >> many thanks to you. okay. still to come here. stolen body parts in thailand. police say they were hided to the u.s. and two americans are the thieves. we'll tell you why authorities say they did it. plus nrk is bracing for a key vote from the united nations calling out the regime for

alleged crimes against its own people. we are back in a moment. that dares to work all the way until... the am. new aleve pm the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. so far, you're horribleht. oat this, flo.use and a car! yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. house! car! oh, raise the roof! no one? remember when we used to raise the roof, diane? oh, quiet, richard, i'm trying to make sense of flo's terrible drawing.

welcome back, everyone. today a u.n. committee will vote on a resolution that calls out north korea for alleged human rights violations. >> the european union and japan sponsored this resolution which calls for a war crimes probe into the reclusive state's prison camp system. it's a step towards confronting pyongyang and one that might

lead to the international criminal court. north korea has long denied any human rights abuses. why should north korea even flinch at yet another u.n. vote condemning its human rights record? >> reporter: that's the thing, john. there's been so many u.n. resolutions against them, so many sanctions brought into place after their nuclear tests and missile tests that this one really has rattled them. we have seen an extraordinary charm offensive by the top officials in pyongyang. they've been traveling around the world trying to mitigate this report, trying to lessen the impact of this report which alleges crimes against humanitarian. it's interesting that this report should affect the regime so much. but it has. we know there will be a vote on tuesday, u.s. time.

and many of those defectors and those who have been subjected to these prison and labor camps have been testifying to the united nations and have been vilified by pyongyang itself. we spoke to one of those who saw the camp up close. >> reporter: lee shows me the scars from his time from the political camp. beaten so often he says by the time he was released he barely had any teeth left. he's also blind in one eye. he was a body guard for kim jong il for years. then after trying to defect he was tortured and beaten before being sent to the camp. he lived to tell the tale. when i got there, he says, people looked like walking skeletons. they had severe malnutrition, as did i. plus, i'd been beaten so much,

my weight dropped from 94 kilos to 58 kilos in six months. watching video, he says his heart breaks when he thinks back. he talks of scar food, weekly executions, and a flower garden, a uf mystic term used to describe mass graves. the flower garden has thousands, even tens of thousands of people in it he says, lines and lines of dead bodies. i had to carry them, bodies with fluids still flowing out of them, and busry them where the guards told us. he wants to see kim jong-un hauled in front of the international criminal court, a recommendation from the united nations commission of inquiry which finds north korea and its leadership committed crimes against humanitarian. a copy of the report was sent to kim jong-un himself. >> he is not able to claim

ignorance of these massive violations. and therefore, he is now technically already complicit in these crimes. >> reporter: pyongyang categorically denies any human rights violations. he says he survived to tell the truth about north korea. what they expect is that the committee will be voting to decide whether or not to send it to the general assembly. it only needs a majority. but also what they have to contend with as well is an amendment that's being sent by one of north korea's very few allies, cuba, who's trying to ensure that north korea and kim jong-un are not referred to the icc. >> paula hancocks live for us there in seoul. we're going back to

jerusalem. images coming in from the scene outside that synagogue where we are now told by police that four israelis are confirmed dead in an early morning attack at a synagogue during early morning prayers. two palestinians are accused of carrying out this attack, armed with knives and an ax. they may have also had some kind of handgun as well. there is a third suspect who is also being looked for right now. residents in the area have been told to stay indoors while they search for a third suspect. those two palestinians who the police are now calling terrorists were shot dead, along with four israelis killed. a number of others remain in a critical condition. the last report we had, five israelis were in a critical condition, but that may have now changed that we have confirmation that four israelis were killed in this attack. this happened in the northwestern part of jerusalem. at a synagogue, earlier today in

the early part of the morning there in jerusalem. all of this coming during a period of heightened tension between the israelis and palestinians. there seems to be almost daily eye attacks. ben wedeman is on the scene and is gathering more information. as soon as he gets more details we will bring that to you. in the meantime, we are going to take a very short break. convicted murderer charles manson gets permission to take a wife from behind bars. of course we will have the details just ahead. stay with us. they're still after me. get to the terminal across town. are all the green lights you? no. it's called grid iq. the 4:51 is leaving at 4:51. ♪ they cut the power. it'll fix itself. power's back on. quick thinking traffic lights and self correcting power grids

thai officials have put out arrest warrants for two americans who they say stole body parts and tried to mail them to the united states. >> police have to present the warrants to interpol because the suspects have already left thailand. >> reporter: a delivery company made a gruesome discovery this weekend. workers at dhl found three packages containing adult and infant body parts, an infant's head, an adult heart and skin and a foot were en route to las vegas before they were intercepted. it is believed two americans stole them from a bangkok

hospital. >> three of them are from the forensic department, two from the anatomical department. >> reporter: initially, one of the americans claimed to have purchased the items at a flea market, leaving them unable to press charges, but new evidence changes that. >> translator: the two foreigners definitely visited our museum, but we can't see from the camera that they stole the items. it is proof that they are linked to the items. >> reporter: thai officials may seek extradition. the u.s. embassies in bangkok and pa mom pen have not responded. convicted murderer, charles manson has been given the green light to get married. >> bride to be was pretty excited when she spoke with cnn

a couple months ago before the marriage license was granted. >> the paperwork hasn't gone through yet, but we already consider each other to be husband and wife. >> reporter: are you in love? >> yep. why would i marry somebody if i wasn't? >> reporter: people get married for all kinds of different reasons. >> well, i wouldn't. >> well, no date has been set. but it will be a simple affair. just ten guests from outside the prison. two from the inside. and because manson is spending a life sentence, conjugal visits are out of the question. we want to turn to the weather now. the southern u.s. has the coldest weather in nine months. >> and it's not the polar vortex. >> it's not. that was nine months ago when that occurred. >> it's still cold. >> if you average out the temperature for every observation site in the u.s., it would be 20 degrees fahrenheit.

that's the average temperature nationally speaking. and of course the cold air outbreak going to really take over at this point, all 50 u.s. states having temperatures below freezing at this hour. we put the footage in motion. showing you the scenes out of indianapolis, indiana. it shows you what we're talking about when we talk about the conditions across this region. we're talking about major accidents taking part across this area with icy conditions on the roads. there it goes right there. you see several vehicles slamming in to each other. police reporting that i-74 had to be shut down. you see how fast they're coming down a dark highway and very little visibility and you have to try to stop and it is impossible at those speeds. and that was the pattern in indianapolis. show you the cold arctic outbreak. so still watching two separate cold air outbreaks over the next couple days across portions of

the united states. look at this. back on halloween, the 31st of october, less than 1% of the united states had snow on the ground. fast forward to monday, over 50% of u.s. states having snow on the ground. this is out of minneapolis. temperatures at 32 degrees fahrenheit. over the past few days they've been below the freezing mark. they should be at 41 this time of year. and they still look to be below freezing for a 14-day stretch. this is a big deal for areas that are as hardy as they come. 12 below what it feels like in portions of iowa. down into the teens in the deep south. those temperatures colder than what you are seeing across anchorage, alaska. from this sunday toward thanksgiving we have a warm air mass beginning to build across the eastern half of the united states. unfortunately, it comes with

heavy rainfall. we'll take it. temperatures above average, generally in the 60s to 70. while back to the west dry conditions and generally above average conditions also in the forecast. rosemary and john are coming right back. oh, i love game night. ooh, it's a house and a car! so far, you're horrible at this, flo. yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. house! car! oh, raise the roof! no one? remember when we used to raise the roof, diane? oh, quiet, richard, i'm trying to make sense of flo's terrible drawing. i'll draw the pants off that thing. oh, oh, hats on hamburgers! dancing! drive-in movie theater! home and auto. lamp! squares. stupid, dumb. lines.

israeli police shot dead two palestinian men armed with axes and knives, also investigating the possibility there was a handgun involved. there is a search in the area for a third suspect. residents in the area have been told to stay indoors. ben wedeman is on the line now with more details on exactly what happened. so ben, what else can you tell us at this hour? >> caller: we understand the police are in the jerusalem neighborhood. during the morning prayers this occurred. we understand that the two palestinian attackers have been killed in addition to some of the people that were also killed. we did hear from an israeli police spokes woman that they may have had in addition to axes and knives, a pistol as well. and it's important to keep if mind that it comes at a time of

extreme tension in jerusalem. we've had incidents on an almost daily basis now. weeks, really. the tension really sparked early in the summer, and really hasn't come to an end since then. and this is really just the latest incident that's going to obviously stir tensions even further. now as far as the identity of the attackers are concerned, it's not all together clear whether they come from jerusalem itself or from the west bank. jerusalem residents and palestinian residents in east jerusalem have full access to the entire city, unlike residents of the west bank who have to go through checkpoints and have to have the proper i.d. to enter the city. so we're still waiting for more details on their identity, although the police are describe being the attack as a terrorist incident. john? >> and ben also reported there could be a third suspect?

currently still being searched for by police? >> caller: that is correct. our cameraman joe shepherd is on the scene and is reporting that there are police on foot and on motorcycles who appear to be searching for the possibility that another attacker is in the area, but no word yet on having found anyone. john? >> and you mention the rising tensions in the region. we have been reporting over the last couple days that the israelis and palestinians were one major attack from all of this really exploding. so what is likely to be the reaction now from the israeli government and benjamin netanyahu? >> caller: it's going to be strong. it's going to be angry. you have to keep in mind the mood of the people here. certainly, after incidents like these, there's a lot of anger in the street.

and what we've seen in past is often times there are revenge attacks for incidents such as this. you'll recall last summer when the news came out that the israeli teenager had been killed in late june, the following day there was a revenge killing of a young palestinian from east jerusalem. and so the real worry is that indeed people will take matters into their own hands. and exact revenge on palestinians, which, of course, will, i think have the cold dynamic of attack and counterattack that we've been seeing for months. >> okay. ben, thank you, our senior international correspondent ben wedeman. and to recap those numbers, 12 israeli casualties, four are dead in this attack at a synagogue. eight have been wounded. four are in severe condition, with severe wounds.

two have been moderately hurt. two others with minor wounds. also, the two palestinians have been shot dead by the israeli authorities. we'll bring you the latest on this story as we get it. a look now on the news on the european union planning to have travel bans. they're asked to come up with pro-russian separatists to add to the list. >> it's not clear how many more separatists the eu plans to penalize. many are already under travel bans and asset freezes. meanwhile, russia's president remains defiant by his cold reception by leaders at the g-20 meeting. >> the russian president now finds himself in a difficult

situation. >> reporter: the russian leader said he needed some sleep. a growing chorus of critics say moscow's actions in ukraine are keeping everyone up at night. with more than 4,100 people already killed, renewed fighting has all but ended a torturous truce. last week, tanks and artillery only made matters worse. at the g-20 summit, putin shrugged off that military aid saying rebels with a cause always find a way to get guns. g-20 leaders were not in a mood for more denials and stalling. >> one of the reasons conferences like this are so important is that it does give the countries of the world's leaders an opportunity to speak candidly with each other. >> i have, naturally, several interactions with president

putin during the course of the apec summit and then here at the g-20. i would characterize them as typical of our interactions, which are business like and blunt. >> reporter: mr. putin's apparent isolation reinforced the notion russia's leader has gone too far. the eu is pondering more piecemeal sanctions. any more would have to wait until mid december. while the isolation of putin is understandable, the concern is that it's counter-productive. what is needed now more you are jeptly than ever is a dialog between russia and ukraine's president petro poroshenko. putin is the only man who can legitimately conduct that dialog. they need to reign in rn in radn both sides. what is not needed is more

provocation by moscow or anyone else. well, india's prime minister is calling for closer security ties with australia. norren modi, what is the significance of these agreements signed by the leaders of australia and india? >> modi's visit to india is the first visit by an indian prime minister to australia in 28 years. this is quite a long gap. and to give you a sense of what at that means for the two countries, trade between india and australia is valued at $15 billion a year. trade between australia and china on the other hand is valued at ten times that amount, $150 billion a year. so mr. modi's big message today, delivered to the australian

parliament was to invest in india. have a listen. >> australia has immense opportunities to participate in india's progress. in turn, india will be the answer to your search for new opportunities. and your desire to diversify your global economy engagement. >> so the head line there, rosemary, india is the answer. india and australia after that speech signed a number of agreements, agreeing to promote tourism and cooperate on a variety of issues, but the headline really is that india is there, and it wants australia to invest. i thought it was very interesting that mr. modi decided to make that speech in english.

of course when he speaks in india he speaks in hindi. when he was in new york it was in hindi. when he spoke at madison square gardens, it was in hindi. some analysts say that what he was trying to promote was commonality. they do share a language, english. he talked about how think share a colonial past. they play cricket. so why not build on business. >> ravi, the indian prime minister was not without his fans, was he? his enthusiastic supporters lined the street. talk to us about his reception there. >> yeah, well everyone keeps saying that he gets these rock star receptions. he got it in sidney when he spoke to a packed audience. he's had similar receptions, the most famous in new york when he made a speech in madison square gardens, and tens of thousands

of people were there in attendance to clap and cheer on. one thing modi has done very well, rosemary, is to connect with people. he knows how to speak in public. he knows when to pause. he knows when to soak in the applause. and his rhetoric, overall, has been spot on. he's, as one indian in australia pointed out, he knows how to talk to the pain points. he's eased visa applications for indians living abroad. the major challenge, though, rosemary, is how is he going to deliver on some of the bigger ticket reforms, to make india a better place to do business. here in india, the big question is how is he going to kick on from there and get india to the stage where it is growing much faster than it has been. >> a politician and a diplomat it seemed. many thanks to you for bringing

us up to date monitoring events in australia from new delhi. many thanks. still to come, using facebook at work. details on the new project that has competitors' stocks now dropping. eks later. look, credit karma-- are you talking to websites again? this website says "free credit scores." oh, credit karma! yeah it's actually free. look, you don't have to put in your credit card information. whew! credit karma. really. free.

. well, it looks like facebook is trying to fit in with the corporate world with something called facebook at work.

>> this is in a pilot stage right now. it's supposed to let co-workers chat with each other all within the facebook site but separate from personal pages. >> now this isn't welcome competition for linked in. its stock dropped. they already categorize workers but there is no chat function. well, prince william has teamed up with the makers of angry birds. the trade in animal parts funds criminal gangs and extremist groups. the new game focuses on a kind of ant eater. >> the humble pangolin is one of the most endangered animals on the planet. it runs the risk of being

extinct. with the help of angry birds, we've created a tournament for the pangolins, so you can have some fun while learning more about them and the wider issues of poaching. >> and the new game is available for play this week, to the estimated 2 million angry birds players worldwide. if you were with us last hour, we showed you never before seen footage of wild whale captures. >> as ivan watson report, a high-dollar offer almost proved too lucrative for him to refuse. >> reporter: the high dollar payoff of capturing killer whales, after a leader for decades, foster changed his focus, turning his attention to

marine conservation instead, and then a tempting offer to capture whales again. this time off the far east coast of russia. proved almost too lucrative for him to refuse. an offer that would have allowed foster to retire as a multi-million air, with a $7 million paycheck. >> $7 million for me to do the whole thing, collect the animals, select them, do the initial training and then transport them to the facilities that they were going to. >> reporter: and how many killer whales? >> a total of eight. >> reporter: and where would this have taken place? >> in russia. the buyers were chinese buyers. two of the animals would be going to the olympics, and to a town i had never heard of in sochi. >> reporter: sochi. >> yeah. >> reporter: it was the host city of this winter's olympics. it was also home to the sochi dolphinarium.

they deny reports they were seeking to acquire killer whales, calling those reports a hoax, aimed at slamming the winter olympics. and we didn't see any killer whales at this very small facility. but according to russian documents, there were very different plans for killer whales as recently as 2012. the russian fisheries agency issued a permit in 2012 for the capture of two orcas in the sea of okhotsk. a killer whale watchdog group reports more than a half-dozen whales were cost last year in. h >> it literally was looking in the mirror. i couldn't do this. i can't, i'm not going, i can't get involved with any more

captures, you know, of killer whales. >> reporter: foster takes us out on a boat into washington state's puget sound where he first learned to capture killer whales. he says scientists have learned over the past 40 years that unlike other wild animals these social, highly intelligent orcas live longer in the wild than they do in concrete pools at parks like marine land and sea world. >> one of the reasons i've changed my attitude of these animals being in captivity is that the pools really haven't changed since the '80s. we've developed new pools nfor dolphins and other species, but the killer whale tanks haven't changed for over 30 years. >> reporter: he points to a young killer whale named morgan who he says is suffering in a park in the canary islands. >> she is this wonderful little

animal confused, lost and alone. and she's getting beat up on all the time. >> reporter: morgan was brought to this sea world affiliated park after she was found disoriented and sick off the coast of the netherlands. on two visits to the park, foster says he saw morgan abused by larger killer whales and says she was so despondent, she was banging her head against the side of the pool. he says she also constantly called out for her missing family. >> the loud, loud calls, the loud screaming call, yeah. and it's a continuum. over and over and over. and i just, at that point, it really hit home that this poor animal is in a really terrible situation with a very dysfunctional group of animals and needs to be moved out into a better place. >> reporter: foster joined a campaign to free morgan. but in april after a lengthy appeal process, a court in the

netherlands disagreed, ruling the whale should stay in the park. in an impassioned statement, the park's owner defended the decision by saying, i think this decision can be seen as a pardon for morgan, because her release would have meant suffering and death. so morgan remains in a pool in captivity. despite the best efforts of foster and other "free morgan" activists. the former orca hunter is learning it's far easier to capture a killer whale than it is to set one free. >> and our thanks to ivan watson for that report. we'll take a short break. when we come back, an australian anchor had a theory about reporters, and he took ra year to explain it. ts in the country. we operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy.
