. pope francis steps out of his christian comfort zone to bring different words together. we are live and waiting for his arrival. i'm max foster in london. also ahead, as fans mourn the loss of phil hughes, chiefs are working hard to stop the repeat of the freak accident that killed him. plus. i don't understand why we're in denial. i don't understand why we don't want to believe this. i don't want to believe it. >> the latest woman to accuse bill cosby of sexual assault is speaking out as a long time ally breaks ties with the embattled comedian. pope francis is set to arrive in turkey a couple of
1:01 am
hours now for a rare visit to a muslim country. a welcome ceremony awaits him in the capital. then he will head to the presidential palace. for more, we have arwa damon with more. what are the issues he will address there, arwa? >> reporter: max, there are a key number of issues when it comes to speaking to the christian community in the region. there are two key purposes in this visit by pope francis. the first of which, although it perhaps takes a backseat to the other one. the first is continuing to build and solidify the bridges with sister churches. he will be over the weekend meeting with the turkish president and prime minister and also the minister for religious
1:02 am
affairs. one of the main issues in all of this is going to be trying to somehow build that deep, deep divide between christians and muslims in the region. christianity is facing a threat unlike any it has faced in the last few decades when it comes to its existence in the region. the emergence of al qaeda in iraq, then the islamic state of iraq has seen a massive exodus of christians from iraq and then, of course, the emergence of isis has seen more christians fleeing iraq and syria. we spoke to some of the syrian christian refugees. they were syrians in istanbul seeking refuge. they were seeking to build a life elsewhere. it is the complex back drop and threat that christianity faces that pope francis makes his
1:03 am
visit, max. >> what's the security like there? >> reporter: security is of utmost concern at this stage. first of all, this is a pope well known for not wanting to travel in armored vehicles and wanting to be close to the people. he had in the past expressed desire to visit the refugees, but had been advised against that due to security concerns. isis is at turkey's border and the leader of isis has directly threatened the vatican saying in a statement that the terrorist organization intended on extending its reach and control to rome and the world. that is, of course, is utmost concern at this stage. one of the things people will be watching is going to be what kind of vehicle will the pope ride in and will he accept the security concerns in an armored vehicle and stick to the vehicles to the vehicles in the past that allow him the level of
1:04 am
proximity to the population. max. >> arwa damon, thank you. here is what is on the pope's itinerary. he will visit the mausoleum before going to meet the president. he will continue to istanbul on saturday and visit the st. sofia museum. later that day, he will attend an inter-ritual celebration of the holy spirit. on sunday, he meets with turkey's chief rabbi. later, he will be received by a ecumenical patriarch. they will sign a joint declaration and bridge the divide between the countries on christianity. pope francis is set to be back in rome on sunday evening. in iraq, the sunni tribal
1:05 am
forces are part of the ground offenses against isis forces. they say they need more weapons and more coalition air strikes fast. the worry is that embattled anbar province is at risk of falling to isis as they make more gains in the region. we have the latest from baghdad. we warn you the report has graphic images. >> reporter: body after body lines the street in the western iraqi town. the killings are the killing message. fight us and this is your fate. the men are believed to be one of the tribes from anbar province. they fight back isis for months until they were outgunned. we ran out of ammunition and we were presented to isis as a gift on a golden platter says one of the tribe's leaders.
1:06 am
he says without support they paid a heavy price. 700 killed. many executed just this year. in 2006, he was part of the awakening movement. sunni tribes paid to fight al qaeda which turned the tide in this war. after the u.s. military pulled out in 2011, the tribes were neglect neglected. the revival of the sunni tribal force is the key part of the u.s. strategy to defeat isis, but so far, tribes say there is no direct help from the u.s. and new iraqi government has yet to make good on promises to arm them. coalition air strikes have not been effective. isis is still powerful and capable. tribal forces have struggled to stop the groups unrelenting assault to take the little of the country's largest province.
1:07 am
we ration the ammunition we have and isis bombard us with tens of thousands of rounds. isis supports their people. they have a supply line from raqqah from syria to anbar. if it falls to isis, it will tighten the grip from the turkish border to baghdad. to shift the balance, they need weapons and more air strikes and they need them fast. people will be killed in cold blood and more massacres. we are getting killed because of our friendship with the americans. does a friend abandon a friend like this? for now, he prepares his men for next battle. how long the flag will fly high over the patch of anbar will depend on the country he calls a friend. jomana karachi, cnn, baghdad.

1:30 am
the 25-year-old batsman was playing in sydney when a ball hit him in the back of his neck. cricket australia is launching a review of safety. fans and friends and fellow cricketers are finding ways to pay tribute to hughes as they grieve. just after his death, the australia flag flew at half mast. players across the country are asked to wear black arm bands. brice mcgann is a former player. >> he is a popular player because he was a country boy who was from a farm, a banana farm, in the northern wales. he had every intention when the cricket career was over to go back on the land and work on the farm.
1:31 am
his family were all farming people. a great story where he come from to make it to the top and represent australia. he had an amazing record with the selection criteria. what happened around the nation is that initiated earlier this morning where a person put out their bat and put it on twitter. they put their bat out on front of their house. it has been going all around australia. it is trending worldwide. putting your bat out and with the hat of the club you play for. some australian players have done that. i played with phil hughes when he made his debut in australia from 2009. i put my bat out as a tribute to him and acknowledging what a great cricket career, but a great life of a terrific young man. >> there's been an outpouring of support for sean abbott who threw the bouncer who hit hughes. adam gilcrest writes may the
1:32 am
footprints in the sand support another. a very sad day for the world of cricket. so sorry for phil hughes and his family. and one tweet, spare a thought for hughes. and south african batsman, sean abbott thinking about you, too, mate. and pele is in a hospital. the 74-year-old's condition has improved. he is apparently battling an infection since surgery recently to remove kidney stones. a statement on the twitter feed says, quote, i wanted to take this opportunity to let you know i'm doing fine. oil prices are continuing to fall now. the plunge followed opec decision to maintain oil production levels. this was a departure for the
1:33 am
cartel which cuts prices to drive prices up. the largest opec member was against it. it shocked the international oil markets sending energy shares tumbling. this is bad news for oil-pr oil-producing countries. opec attorney general says there is no need to panic. >> we have a very different price. now price decline that does not mean we should really rush and do something. we have to wait and see how the market sits. >> well, nina is with us. why didn't they cut? >> opec, max, some analysts say, abdicating of responsibility as a swing producer in the oil markets. what they are hoping is that the u.s. shale boom that we're seeing in the united states will hopefully peter out if they can
1:34 am
ride out the low oil prices. it is less economically viable for the u.s. hopefully the price will come back after 2017. that doesn't necessarily work for all of the opec members. saudi arabia has big deep pockets it can call upon to make up the difference in its budget. other members of opec, nigeria, russia, iran, the annual budgets on the higher oil prices. they will have a struggle to meet the falling prices. let's have a look at the prices reacted. the bulk of the reaction was yesterday with opec decision coming through at 3:00 p.m. u.k. time when that decision came through in vienna. look at the falloff in the price of crude coming down around $5
1:35 am
in one fell swoop. the gain today and it is trading below $72 a barrel. >> how far do you see it falling? >> analysts say it could fall as far as $60 or $50 by another analyst. the real key thing about this fall here is that opec has decided to maintain its market share of the oil market which, as i said before, is eroded by the united states as it pumps more shale oil in favor of the expense of the price of the short-term. there may be a price beyond opec considers in an emergency meeting. it is already a bear market and fallen 6% in the last six months or so. come down from $100 a barrel earlier this year. if it falls to 60, that could be a point at which the opec members who don't have deep pockets will say look, this is just gone too far. for the moment, it is a bit of a
1:36 am
game of chicken between the united states and these opec producers to see who can cope with the low price and subsidize for the short-term. >> it seems the assumption is they want prices to rise. people are saying opec is not relevant anymore. they are creating the situation. >> opec has about 80% of the world gas reserves. only 40% at the moment. the market share that it has is dwindling. remember, saudi arabia up until recently, was the largest oil producer. it is eclipsed by the united states only recently. some people saying this could be the end of the 1970s oil crisis coming to an end. >> nina, thank you very much. for the first time, the younger sister of north korea leader kim jong-un is now referred to a state leader.
1:37 am
we often see kim yo-jong with her brother at state events. take a look. >> reporter: in the secret kingdom, she may be the only person who is mysterious than her older brother. today, weeks after kim jong-un who resurfaced, it appears kim's sister is taking a leading role in the iron-fisted regime. overnight in an unexpected twist, north korea's news agency referred to her as the country's governing party. aside from the title, experts know very little about the move or kim yo-jong. >> she went to school in switzerland. she started showing up earlier
1:38 am
this year at a couple of party functions. >> reporter: analysts say she is the youngest of seven children that her father had with four different women. while he was still expects say she took on important visits for her father. after her father's death and brother's selection as supreme leader, she started receiving intelligence policies meetings. she is unfeetered access to her brother. this title will lead to speculation of if she is gaining power especially after months of speculation of her brother's health. after being out of the high several weeks, kim jong-un appeared in photographs walking with a cane. some speculated kim was in hiding after surgery on his ankle or foot. if her brother is healthy, this new positioning is significant in a country where power has
1:39 am
been handed down through her family for three generations. >> clearly an effort to slow track her to becoming somebody who is important within the system again because there are not many bodies left to carry on in the kim clan rule. >> reporter: brianna keilar, cnn. now the results are in for the first human trial of the ebola vaccine. find out what it might mean for the current outbreak just ahead. it's taco tuesday. man: you're not coming. i took mucinex to help get rid of my mucusy congestion. mr. mucus: oh, right then i'll swing by in like 4 hours... just set aside a few tacos for me. man: forget the tacos! one pill lasts 12 hours. i'm good all day. mr. mucus (to himself): wait! your loss. i was going to wear a sombrero.

1:51 am
>> reporter: jewel allison describing an encounter with bill cosby that happened about 25 years ago. >> this is where it makes it difficult. >> reporter: more difficult and painful, she says, is coming forward as a woman of color about a man who means so much to black americans, especially when she claims he abused her in the late '80s. >> i don't want to take this black man down who is providing so many jobs for black people and doing something that was historic in a positive way. i understand why we're in denial. i understand why we don't want to believe this. i didn't want to believe it. >> reporter: in her 20s when cosby was twice her age, jewel allison was a model and doing voiceover work. her agent set up a meeting with cosby and to his "cosby show"
1:52 am
set. she went to dinner at his house. >> i'm meeting with a couple of you who have college educations who i think could do a little bit better than modelling. you know, i want to help you all out. sounds good to me. >> reporter: she accepted a second invitation. >> what happened that night? >> i wasn't there for very long before he asked me if i wanted something to drink. he showed me a bottle of wine. i don't remember the age on it, but the age was impressive. and i said, okay. he fixed me a glass of wine. i drank a little bit of it. not a lot. took a couple of sips. it tasted horrible. i said i'm not drinking the rest of this. he at that point came over to me and he said, stand up. and he helped me get up from here. and i stood up.
1:53 am
at this point, i'm kind of out of it and i'm thinking was it the wine. he said let's go into the next room where there was a mirror. i remember there was a mirror. i'll never forget there was a mirror. he told me to look in the mirror and he was in back of me. >> did he say why he wanted you to look in the mirror? >> after he had an orgasm. he said to me, you know, afterwards, he said, look at the glow on your face. before then, he took my hand and put it in back of me and i felt something wet on my hand. that's when i realized that something sexual was going on. but i was unable to stop it and then he turned me around and he helped me. he put his hands on my shoulders and he walked me out and he said
1:54 am
let's get you home or something like that. at that point, he hugged me, you know, which i felt was really bizarre in an affection way and kisses me at the door. all of it didn't make any sense. he opens up the door. there's a taxi there. a yellow taxi there. i always thought you had to flag taxis down. so was the ride home, bizarre, because i got violently ill. >> reporter: she kept it under wraps. >> i came home crying. it's horrible because it's like someone just sexually assaulted me and drugged me and it was cosby. the one person that meant so much to us. which i think is not fair. >> reporter: privately, she told a few friends over the years, but after seeing other women come forward, she's breaking her
1:55 am
silence. >> i have learned that fear can cripple you, it can make you sick, it can make you not sleep at night. once i decided to put this in god's hands and i said i know you got this. >> do not be a victim of circumstances. >> reporter: a writer and public speaker, allison has not yet addressed the cosby issue. >> is there anything you would say to him? >> begin praying and get the strength and courage to begin to tell yourself the truth. >> bill cosby has not been charged with any crime. some venues have canceled his shows. cnn has reached out to his lawyers about allison's claims. they have not responded. in a blanket statement last week, his lawyer wrote, we have refuted these unsubstantiated stories. when will it end? it is long past time for the
1:56 am
med media vilification to stop. >> the 77-year-old got his masters and doctorate there in the '70s. he had been serving at the co- chair of the campaign. at least 15 women have come out to accuse cosby of sexual misconduct. he denied some of the allegations and no prosecution against him. i'm max foster.
