11:01 pm
survivors after a deadly plane crash into a taipei river kills at least 12 people. this is a truly ugly and brutal sight. >> at least seven people killed out new york city when a commuter train slams into a jeep. jeep. we begin in jordan where authorities have hanged two convicted terrorists. an apparent reprisal for the killing of one of the people hanged sajida al rishawi, the suspected suicide bomber that jordan of once willing to trade for the pilot. >> a stunning turn of events. jordanians took to the street as long as they heard about the pilot burned alive while locked in a cage. gruesome. jordan's kim -- jordan's king
11:02 pm
abdullah told jordanians to show unity and resolve. >> translator: in those difficult moments, it is the duty of all the sons and daughters of jordan to stan together in one rank and show the tree mettle of the people. >> for a while the will-be suicide bomber seemed desperate to survive. sajida's bomb failed to detonate in the attack. >> though sensed to death, there was a moratorium on executions. then came the killing of the jordanian pilot by isis. more on the would-be killer. >> reporter: sajidial i are so howy convicted -- sajida al
11:03 pm
rishawi, convicted. she was part of isis's group striking jordan. on november 9th the bombers including al rishawi's husband, hit through hotels in amman, killing 57 in jordan's worst trache attack in recent memory. she was captured. in confessions aired on state television nine years ago, she said her suicide vest failed to detonate. >> translator: there was a wedding ceremony in the hotel. there were women, men, and children. my husband detonated his bomb, and i tried to set off mine but failed. >> reporter: an unform moratorium on the death penalty in jordan -- unofficial moratorium on the death penalty in jordan kept her alive on death row. in her 40s, al rishawi of a prominent figure. her family was linked to the founder and leader in iraq the
11:04 pm
jordanian killed in 2006. isis sought to gain her release in return for japanese hostage kenji goto. the negotiations went nowhere because the jordanian government never got the proof it wanted for the pilot. the terrorist group released a horrific video of his death days after they executed goto. cnn, aman. the brutal and heinous murder of the lieutenant sparked outrage across jordan and the region. becky anderson joins me live from abu dhabi. kill king abdullah had been under pressure to act on the streets for revenge and the executions of the terrorists cast swimly. how is it being -- came swiftly. how is it being received, and how is it that the murder by isis will galvanize support in the region for the fight against
11:05 pm
isis? >> reporter: there is no doubt that the public video of the murder was brutal even at the hand of isis aimed squarely not just at jordan but also the other members of the coalition, not least the uae. if the group think it's the latest evil this tell cause the regional players to crack in their support, their actions have seemingly backfired. jordan has vowed "punishment and revenge," and the king describing isis as a deviant criminal group. as we've been reporting, the government has executed the would-be suicide bomber and another held on death row for nearly a decade until now. no backing down by the jordanian jordanians jordanians. from the uae's foreign minister
11:06 pm
in the past few hours, "this heinous and obscene act represents a brutal escalation by the terrorist group. it is the defining moment." we'll come back to that. similar line said from other players in the region. this from the former lebanese prime minister. denoneiation and condemnation -- denunciation and condemnation are no longer enough to respond to the terrible terrorist crimes. is this a watershed moment? maybe, king abdullah arrives around midday local. about 5:00 a.m. eastern time. we should expect further word twhaen his country's plans -- then what his country's plans are, we will hear more from the regional players, as well. row mary? >> interesting. on that point, jordan has vowed an earthshaking response. how is that being read in the
11:07 pm
region region? i'm guessing they're talking about military response. what are the options? >> reporter: it's interesting, isn't it? the options are to a certain extent what they have been of late. let's remember that the reports are, for example, this this wasn't a plane that came down in iraq. it was one that came down as a result of any isis action. it was a plane that crashed, and the pilot taken passage. i guess the question is what more does the u.s.-led coalition including the gcc members do in their fight against isis in iraq and in syria when we are well aware that despite of thousands of sorties having been flown this we are still seeing isis activity, significant activity in pars of syria, significant
11:08 pm
activity still in iraq and episodes like that was the video that show that the terrorist group is still very very active active. so the question really will be what does this u.s.-led coalition do next. does the obama administration sort of crack to the pressure and look to put possibly boots on the ground? will you look to the arab members of the group to do more? it is a very difficult equation at this point. certainly one where you are seeing pressure on the jordanian government about its role going forward. whether that is pressure to get more involved or less. and clearly a lot of naval gazing to the gcc about the next step. you ask a good question that at this point i don't think there's an answer. >> no. it will be interesting to see if this is perhaps a turning point as you mentioned.
11:09 pm
king abdul willa back in jordan -- abdullah back in jordan in three years. presumably the people will hear from their king and perhaps hear more on what sort of response is to come next. becky anderson live from abu dhabi. many thank as always. at least 12 people dead after a transasia airways plane crashed into the river. we can show this -- absolutely stunning dashcam video which shows apparently the plane slamming into the bridge before it hit the water thm happened shortly after takeoff in taipei. keep in mind as you watch that some 58 people were on board. most passenger are accounted for, but dozens at this hour are still missing. incredible to see that. >> unbelievable. and aviation officials say the plane hit a bridge before crashing into the river and also flattened a taxi. that rescue operation still
11:10 pm
underway there, we not. let's bring in cnn's david mckenzie. he's been following the story from beijing. we're still gathering details because it happened a few hours ago. we've seen for the first time the dramatic video that essentially shows the underbelly of the aircraft as it passes over that bridge before hitting the water. what is the latest on deaths and injuries? >> reporter: well as you said that horrific footage from a dash cam of someone passing by on an aerial highway as the atr-72 turbo pop plane effectively cartwheels on its head over the highway, pushing on a taken and then falling and ditch ing ditching into the river. miraculous more than a dozen people were able to escape. rescue workers, very quick to
11:11 pm
the scene. inflatable rafts prying people from the plane and to the safety of the river bank. tragically at least 12 are dead but scores still missing saysa the rescue operation -- missing as the rescue operation continues. this plane was leaving taipei to the main land on a popular tourist group. at least 30 were from a tourist group in mainland china. certainly a dramatic morning in taipei and a tragic accident we believe will be an accident. the cause, of course not known at this point. errol? >> it's even more incredible when you see that dramatic footage to understand people survived and made it out alive. we're looking at live pictures from where the aircraft is as it sits in the water. officials trying desperately to rescue as many people as they can. it's roughly ten past 3:00 there. and david i know it's still early, but walk us again through
11:12 pm
how it happened. the plane had just taken off, lost contract and crashed. how should we be looking at this as far as the safety of record of flights in general whether we talk about taiwan? >> reporter: taiwan has had a spotty safety record. in july the exact same type of plane, the turbo-prop from transasia airways crashed in the outlying areas, it's believed to be because of bad weather. it's not clear exactly what happened in july. some 48 people dead there. certainly questions will be asked on the safety record. as you said, too early to tell for sure. quite incredible when you consider those images both of the crash itself and the fact that in the river the fuselage is almost totally submerged, upside down in the water. earlier today you saw people
11:13 pm
clamboring out of the hatch of the plane to south korea. appear the rescue workers doing everything they can. more than 100 soldiers and other officials according to the civil aviation authority if taiwan on the scene -- in taiwan on the scene trying to help. this is an ongoing rescue situation. so where those scores of missing are time will tell. certainly the clock is ticking. >> we hope those rescue officials can do everything they can to help those in need. david mckenney live with the new -- mckenzie live with the new information and dramatic footage of the plane hitting a bridge and the water. thanks. coming up next here on cnn, seven people are killed when a commuter train hits an suv north of new york city. details on how the crash may have unfolded. and an argentine prosecutor apparently sought an arrest warrant for the country's president before his mysterious death. how this new piece of evidence is impacting the investigation. hey!

outside of new york city tuesday evening. the train had left grancentral station which is filled with commuters, people working inside new york city during the day. and they take the metro north train to the outlying areas where they may live. the train left grand central about 5:45 this evening, and it wasn't too long after that in the area that it hit a car that was actually there on the train tracks. now we do understand from officials that 650 people were aboard the commuter train this evening. and eyewitnesses say that the car that was on the tracks it was a woman in an suv. she ended up on the train tracks with the crossing guard or that pole that disallows someone from driving over the train tracks ittened up on her car. she gets out of her car surveys the situation. now she was killed. we also understand that in the

11:24 pm
to testify in front of congresswoman patricia bullrich's committee the very next day. after he was found dead, his report details allegations that she says if proven true will reveal a bombshell about the worst terrorist attack in argentina's history. pointing to a massive cover-up between iran and argentina's ruling administration led by president kircner. saturday they talked by phone. >> 15 hours later he was dead. >> reporter: since his death the nearly 300-page report has been released. >> the most important information in the investigation of nisman is that the argentine government want to take away the responsibility of iran in the

11:26 pm
corrupt and incompaten police work. and finally in 2006 one prosecutor issues arrest warrants for eight iranian nationals all by now believed to have fled back to iran. but after 20 years, no one has ever been brought to trial or even arrested. it was the problem, any man, who first accused iran and iran's former president of being behind the attack. and on the eve of his death, it was the prosecutor now alleging his government and iran were conspiring to cover it all up. the allegation, cash-strapped argentina would get iranian oil. iran would get argentinian grain. vently this country's worst terrorist attack will remain unsolve. for this man nisman's death suicide, and murder and the cover-up is another blow in his 20-year search for justice. this must have come as a
11:27 pm
complete shock. his daughter died in the bombing. she was just 21. are they willing to tell the truth? you don't know. >> translator: the truth the facts if the investigation into the prosecutor's death are hard to find. nisman was under protect of federal police surrounded boy bodyguards. but on the day before his death, he reportedly told those bodyguards "take the weekend off." >> reporter: the investigationinvestigating of mobbed daily had only tidbits on the information about the killing, but it's fueled endless media speculation. one report that says no gunpowder was found on nisman's hands has what most convinced this was a suicide made to look like a suicide. a murder. suicided is the new term no
11:28 pm
matter how impractical that may be. the would-be assassin would first need to get through the security of the building then get into the building itself. finally getting in a coded elevator and up to the apartment where you would have to get inside the apartment, kill nisman in his bathroom and then back out while locking the door from the inside. sounds implausible, yes. but this is argentina. nothing gets in the way of a good conspiracy. last week president kirchner appeared on television from a wheelchair in her home to propose yet another conspiracy. she believes the prosecutor's death was caused by rogue agents in argentina's own spy community, and the rogue agents are trying to create a murder mystery to incriminate her. she had announced plan to dissolve the nation's spy agency. ♪ >> reporter: but suspicions here took another leap this weekend when it was revealed alberto

11:32 pm
hello, and welcome to our viewers in the united states and across the world. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm errol barnett. let's update you on our top stories this hour. jordan says it executed two al qaeda prisoners early wednesday. one was will-be suicide bomber sajida al rishawi, an iraqi woman who isis had demanded jordan set free. the two were hanged in retaliation for the isis murder of a jordanian pilot. in the united states at least secretary of people died and -- seven people died and 12 injured when a commuter train hit a jeep near new york city. six of those killed in tuesday's crash were trained passengers. the female driver of the car also died. the collision happened after
11:33 pm
gates at a rail crossing came down on the jeep which was stopped on the tracks. safety officials are investigating. at least 13 people are dead after a transasia airways plane crashed into a river in taiwan. this dashcam video from tvbs taiwan shows the plane clipping a bridge before crashing into the river. this happened shortly after takeoff from taipei with 58 people on board. you're seeing here rescuers working to pull survivors from the partially submerged wreckage. back to our top story. lots of reaction on the jordanian pilot mored by isis. now jordan's response executing two al qaeda prisoners. both were iraqis. our phil black joins us from iraq with the ongoing crisis and reaction to the latest events. phil occurish fires are repel -- kurdish fighters are repelling isis not far therefrom
11:34 pm
there. >> reporter: the kurdistan regional government has not gone so far as todorse the move to execute the prisoners. but the prime minister told me he believed that jordan had done everything possible tried its very best to try and resolve the situation with the prisoners through the negotiation. and he said that the people here understand the necessity to deal with isis in a firm way to be stronger in their response. the people understand that because they believe they lie in the path of isis' ambitions. in the words of the foreign minister kurdistan is a targhee for isis. the battlelines are just 20 minutes from where i'm standing. here mosul, an entire city under isis' control. the people believe they not the threat and know that their
11:35 pm
fighters are the ones dying trying to contain isis, to hole them back. the degree to which isis has been contained and slowed in its advance through the region since its initial blitz across northern iraq last year is entirely responsible -- or entirely due not just to the air strikes but to the kurdish fires who have been slowing them on the ground. they say they are proud to do so but still maintain the point that despite the successes and despite their losses as well they really want the rest of the world to provide them with more advanced heavier weaponry to take the fight to isis in an even more successful way because they say that isis has these weapons. they need them as well. >> and it's difficult to really get a sense of where isis stands at the moment. what we've seen over the past few months is any time there are continued air strikes and they get pushed out of one location, they seem to become more desperate desperate, take a hostage, and change the dynamic.
11:36 pm
bring us up to stand on where things stand in northern iraq. you mention isis occupying mosul. there's a major dam there. it's gone back and forth between isis and kurdish hands. they've attempted to occupy kirkuk. they took out leading military fighters december it seem as if they're diverting forces or they're claiming new ground? >> reporter: it's not entirely clear. either way, it's a bold move on the part of isis. so the iraqi city of kirkuk to the sergeant of irbill where i am standing is where isis tried to seize more territory over the last week suddenly opening a you in front in this conflict. it has done so at the same time as i say, as kurdish fighters are putting pressure on them surrounding mosul. the occur issue strategy, if you like is to try and cut mosul off from isis-controlled territory in syria. to effectively cut mosul and the isis territory off from syria, to control the iraqi/syrian
11:37 pm
border, to prevent resupply that sort of thing. they've had significant success really to some degree. it's not -- hasn't been achieved entirely but they are making headway. putting isis under pressure and suddenly you have isis launching attacks around kirkuk. a significant city because of its oil reserves. it could be a diversion. it could be a new tampa to claim new territory. either way, it shows that this oregon despite being under pressure is still able to lash out and go on the offensive. >> a very scary prospect considering the brutal execution of the jordanian pile and jordan executing two -- pilot and jordan executing two pilots. phil black in iraq past 10:37 in the morning. thanks. now for a closer look at jordan's decision to execute two al qaeda prisoners in retaliation for the isis burning
11:38 pm
death of a captured jordanian pilot. i spoke with former cia operative bob baer a shore time ago. bob baer thank you very much for joining us. there's already been reaction and retribution in jordan with the execution of sajida al rishawi, the prisoner that isis had wanted swapped with japanese journalist kenji goto. what impact will this execution likely have at this particular sensitive time? >> rosemary, i think it was a mistake to execute her. that was an act of pure revenge. had they not execute her because her culpability wasn't all that clear, she was told to blow up that hotel by her husband. this is fairly common with suicide bombers. i understand why the ordeigns did it. they were so -- jordanians did
11:39 pm
it. they were so horserified and wanting tribal revenge. we should be taking the upper road with the islamic state and not, you know in any sense resort to what they're doing. >> and bob, jordan's king abdullah has said that the country must stand united in the face of this horrifying crime. is that likely to happen or this divide jordanians if they decide the price of fighting with the coalition against isis is too high? >> i think the ordeigns are fully been -- jordanians are fully behind the king. they are so horrified by this act, putting to death somebody by fire is an enormous shock to the jordanians. it's rallied the tribes behind the king in a way that i haven't seen in years. so whatever the king wants at this point, he's got cart blanch to fight the islamic state.
11:40 pm
i don't see any tribal resistance to him at all now as of t. >> i want to put the same question to the region. i mean whether this murder of the jordanian pilotal kasasbeh will scare off some or will the sheer depravity of the video galvanize more support for the coalition throughout the region? >> i think we need to look at this as the same thing that happened with al qaeda in saudi arabia. there was certain grudging support for bin laden up until a time he launched attacks on the kingdom and the royal family. and at that point, the saudis turned firmly against al qaeda and crushed it internally. and i think that the gulf arabs who were looking at the islamic state as sort of a bastion to protect sunni islam, their eyes have been opened in an important way. this is speculation at this point. but i think you'll see support drawing up for the islamic state
11:41 pm
that we haven't seen up until now. >> bob baer talking to me a shore time ago. seems to reflect his opinions -- his opinions reflect what a lot of people are saying -- this of a miscalculation on the part of isis. they thought they would be able to divide jordan, divide the region. in actual fact it's done the opposite. at this point, of course it's early yet. it seems to have united people and just in shock that people could sink that low. >> and that's the key takeaway. some experts compared it to the sunni awakening anbar province in iraq. you have religious, political and tribal factions in jordan all on the same page. how will it manifest itself in jordan's response? we will see here. >> could be a turning point. >> absolutely. now the gruesome execution of moath al kasasbeh. more after the break. and britain becoming the

11:45 pm
lawmakers. >> translator: i feel an intense sense of anger and outrage. hearing this the jordanian pile was historically burned to death at the hands of isis. i'm at a loss for words just thinking how difficult it must be for his family. >> the murder of moath al-kasasbeh sparked outrage on the streets of amman. also stirred up a lot of anger on social media. we'll bring in isa suarez now. she's been keeping tabs on the angle of the story. joins us live from london. and one of the strange thing to our viewers to point out may be that isis has its supporters they're very vocal and present on social media. i wonder in the wake of this anti-isis commentary with this brutal killing, are you seeing any messages of support for isis at all? >> reporter: good morning. you're quite right, they have many many supporters of course many of those people have been
11:46 pm
tweeting on line. many commence inflammatory and have been taken down. what we have done cnn has been speaking to researchers at the terrorism research analysis consortium trac as they're known. they track and monitor a lot of the conversation on line via youtube videos be it on twitter, facebook. they're trying to get an understanding really of how isis is speaking to their will-be followers or followers or how they're also shaping their propaganda. like i said a lot of these tweets comments on facebook being taken down. there are two that we feel we can share you being vetted. the first came hours after the brutal execution of the pilot. it reads, "was muath dropping rose for the children? the fire he brought down from the skies became his own destiny! food for thought." the second one reads, "the kuffar -- a derogatory word to
11:47 pm
describe non-muslim inif idles. reads, "the kuffar to learn of the offenses done and knows of the punishment he deserves." those who are part of the coalition, fighting isis knew what they amy done wrong and saw this coming. now, many on line basically tried to justify the execution saying it is permissible under the act -- under islamic principles. of course many islamic leaders refuting this entirely. but the people we've spoken to experts who look at the videos all the time say this is the most gruesome yet. when they have said which i found interesting is this is not a sign of an isis propaganda desperate for attention. this is them not saying we are weak. this is them basically really thought out strategy they want to play to the rest of the world basically trying to create division within the coalition which is exactly what you're talking about.
11:48 pm
already we've seen not just in japan but also in jordan many people basically saying should we be part of this war, should we be part of this coalition. >> yeah planting a bit of doubt. we should note social media just one aspect of the isis propaganda machine. what about reaction from within europe? this is a region that's seen recent attacks by radicalized jihadists. what's some of commentary more locally? >> reporter: yeah in europe you can imagine given the paris attacks, extremely raw. people -- really condemnation from all over europe. we've heard from david cameron straight after we heard of the brutal execution. he said the lieutenant's sickening murder will only strengthen our resolve to defeat isil. my prayers are with his family. president hold also said he -- holle also said he strongly condemned the assassination. and chancellor merkel send an e-mail to jordan saying "with

along, certainly by an organization like isis. we don't. to feel that someone else is driving the agenda. we want to control as much as we can and tell as much of the story as we can. sometimes it will involve the use of stills or moving images if they're not aapalling image like these. we -- we're cnn and without being overly grand or important, what we do makes a difference. some organizations take a leave from us and some do because they know we'll put effort and time into it, we have a lot of expertise and experience in dealing with this. following their lead makes some sense. of course those images will be out there. others can do as they see fit. what cnn does does matter. >> modux also said isisness the video to be shown, and that immediately leads to discussions of whether it's editorially necessary. we have the discussions in the newsroom, as well.
