mentions in its video. the city's police chief says they are keeping an eye on the situation. take a listen. >> this was a very general comment. it wasn't specific. we to not have an identified specific threat. having said that, because of the nature of the threat we as a policing agency are absolutely paying attention to this. we will be putting in places processes to address what we see out there. i have to emphasize i feel west hampton mall is very safe. >> and london's metropolitan police counterterror command says it is aware of the video, as well. also in london, the plea of one father captures a family's agony. we cannot stop crying he, hoping to reach his daughter who may have run away to join isis. >> the families of three missing teenage girls are also u all pleading for them to come -- are all pleading for them to come home. as we report the number of young people being houred by extremist propaganda is on the

families. though you're convincing these girls they're more important than we are. >> reporter: school yard say they're concern by the -- scotland yard say they're concerned by the sheer numbers of young girls or young women hoping to or who have made their way to join isis fires. they wouldn't give us any numbers but admit it's a growing trend. they're asking other parents to please be vigilant. >> if young people are showing people in passports, trying to get hold of lots of money, there are signs. anything breaking the normal routine, any sort of evidence if you like, of children lying about where they may be or may not be. >> reporter: british police say the friends are still in turkey, once they're in syria with isis it's unlikely they will ever be allowed to leave. in the meantime, their family is still hopeful. >> we want you to know that we

propaganda tool that isis uses quite frequently, what should coalition forces make of it? >> reporter: this is a anyone-minute video this shows -- nine-minute video showing men clad in orange jumpsuits being walked in chains to their cages. they're they're interviewed by a bearded man with a microphobe. on that microphone is an isis logo logo. he asked their name, where they're from. then one -- he asked them if he has a message to the pesh america athe kurdish fighters aat peshmerga, the kurdish fighters and he says yes, lay down yours arms stop fighting for what he calls the jews and crusaders if you want to avoid a fate similar to that was ours. we see them still in cages being paraded on the back of pickup trucks through the crowded city streets appears that it's the town that is just south of kirkuk. now interspersed in this video,

there are some flash frames of the beheadings of egyptian christians that happened last week in elizabeth. but this video actually ends with a tight shot of one of the prisoners. there's no indication they have been executed. but that certainly is the concern of many here that that may be the next installment of these chilling propaganda videos coming out of isis. it's intended to undermine the morale of kurdish fighters but we've spoken to many people here. and they're sort of -- they shrug it off. they realize it's propaganda. they're angry that -- and regret that their comrades are captives of isis. they realize there's not a lot they can do but they look ahead. they realize this is a long fight with this organization. errol? >> so ben, you have a psychological effort by isis to

weaken peshmerga fighters. over the weekend, isis attempted to break through a number of the peshmerga front lines. what's the latest on that? where does that stand this sunday? >> reporter: in less than a week there have been three major assaults on kurdish positions around erbil. the first was on tuesday night. to the west in a place that was repulsed overnight, there were two assaults on kurdish positions. one to the south in mahmur and another near the mountains near the syrian border. as far as mahmur goes we understand from commanders this more than 50 isis fighters were killed as they tried to break through the front lines. there were coalition aircraft also involved in that action in the mountains. apparently at least 30 isis fighters were killed. and this despite fact that the kurds as they will tell you time

and time again, they lack any sort of heavy weaponry. they lack ammunition. they lack a lot of things. what they don't lack is the realization that there's no making peace with isis and their intention is to defend their homeland no matter what. >> ben wedeman live in iraq. thanks. australia is taking big new steps to bolster its counterterrorism efforts amid rising concerns over home-grown threats. the prime minister announced a new package of security measures early today. >> this comes after a terrorist siege at a sydney cafe that left two hostages dead in december. mr. abbott says parts of the package are aimed at slowing foreign fighters from traveling abroad. >> already at least 110 australians have traveled overseas to join the death cult in iraq and syria.

at least 20 of them so far are dead. even if the flow of foreign fighters to syria and iraq stopped today, there's a cohort of hardened jihadists who are intent on radicalizing and influence others. >> a government review in australia is currently investigating over 400 high-priority cases. that number has doubled from a year ago. egypt's president is calling for a unified arab military force to combat the spreading threat from militants across the middle east. the egyptian president said 20 target werity in libya. >> it followed isis' beheading of 21 kidnapped egyptian christians in elizabeth which they -- in libya which they showed in a video.

he thanked the united arab emirates and jordan. british police have identified three soccer fans they say were involved in a racist incident on the paris metro. chelsea supporters are accused of preventing a black man from boarding the train last week. they were also heard chanting "we're racist, and that's the way we like it." it happened during a tourism match between britain's chelsea and paris st. germaine. >> one of the suspects richard barkley, is apologizing for the incident. look at what his lawyer says.

call now. in eastern ukraine, an explosion killinged at least two people including a police officer. >> it happen during a peaceful pro-government march sunday. government officials say they've arrested four people and say the explosion is a suspected terrorist act. meanwhile in kiev activives held a dignity march to mark one year since pro-russian president yanukovych of deposed. let's bring in senior international correspondent fred pleitgen live in kiev for more on the blast and the latest on ukraine's cease-fire. fred, what more information do you have on the blast and those arrest d arrested? >> reporter: we got information

from ukrainian authors. they do place the blame once again on russia. there's one security organization here in ukraine that says that the people who are behind all of this are in russia. they believe there might have been russian involvement as far as the russian intelligence service concerned as well. what we know from ukrainian security sfoersz that four people have been arrest after the blast. apparently they belong in an organization that trained in belograde in russia according to the ukrainian authorities. we haven't gotten anything from the russian authorities so far. obviously this is a horrible blast that happened there. one of the thing we have to know is that the town does have a certain degree of volatility. there wasfliction shortly after the revolution happened about a year -- was friction shortly after the revolution happened about a year ago. there were buildings that were occupied and riots, frankly,

between russian speaker and the pro-ukrainian government population there. it is a place that so far has not been engulf in the worst of the violence like in other places in eastern ukraine. but there are many in key whoef fear there might be forces trying to destablize it as well to get it torn into the area that has been so badly hit by the violence they believe it may be the next target of pro-russian separatists. there's nothing that would confirm that but that's the fear on the ground in kiev. rosemary? >> let's take closer look at that cease-fire in eastern ukraine which appears to be that in name only. what is happening on the ground as the cease-fire hangs by a thread? >> reporter: i wouldn't say it's in name only. but there are certainly infringements happening. one of the things ukrainians are saying is they have a plan in place to withdraw heavy weapons from the front line. frankly they say they can enact the plan unless the fighting

stops in all places along the cease-fire line. they say clear that that is what the cease-fire agreement says. the pro-russian separatists for their part have saidive -- they've signed an order to withdraw heavy weapons. it's unclear at this point whether or not that's been enacted. whether or not any weapons are being with drawn. at this point in time the organization that's supposed to monitor the cease-fire and the next stage of the cease-fire, which would be the withdrawal of heavy weapons can't get to most of the areas where it is supposed to do that. there have been freer enfrankments that happened overnight. authors told us there were only two breaches of the cease-fire a lot less than we've been seeing over the past couple of days. clearly there still is enough tension, there are enough skirmishes for at least the ukrainian side to say at this point in time they're not willing to move to the next stage and get their heavy weapons ready for the front line. >> fred pleatitgen joining us live

from kiev. thunderstorm watch thank you very much. in bangladesh at least 68 people were killed when a ferry got capsized there. local officials say 19 children are among the dead. this happened sunday on the river north of the capital. >> police say the double-decker ferry sank after a cargo ship hit it. a transport official says about 100 people were rescued, but it's unclear exactly how many were on board. ferry operators usually don't keep record. ferry crashes lead to dozens of deaths every year in bangladesh. if you're watching from south korea, there are warnings to stay inside today. coming up what's causing much of the country to look like this and why it's so dangerous. stay with us.

south korea is dealing with this -- dangerous yellow dust. this is what seoul looks like at the moment. meteorologists say it's the worst yellow dust storm in five years. a warning in place for much of the nation and city leader want people to stay inside because it can be bad for your health. the dust storm started in mongolia and picked up some toxins along the way as it moved into the korean peninsula. >> for more on this dangerous yellow dust our meteorologist, pedram javaheri, joins us now. it's not a term that we use

often, but is this common in south korea? yellow dust every year? >> every spring is kicks in. the city takes this seriously. in marine years they've -- in recent years, they've cracked down on barbecuing and barbecue restaurants in seoul which there are 10,000 of. they're saying they're subsidizing filters for these restaurants, bath houses also popular. and they're saying that the barbecue joins, ten thoish contribute to 1/40 of the pollutants. any little way they can remove pollutance -- >> i've always loved korean barbecue. now you're making me think it's dangerous. >> a little bit. they're trying to help with the cause. they're putting 70,000 trees, the sew city government spent this $50,000 in 2009 and planted. 70,000 trees in portions of mongolia. 500 miles west or so of beijing help inhibit plautance making their way to this part of the world. still, with a strong storm system that's kicked up the dust 445, the air equal index at the hazardous category.

take a look at the nasa image. the mode us show from above. the bohi bay. you can pick out the dust over the last 24 hours. seoul being the last point of landfall before it moves back over the pacific. and if the upper level winds in the atmosphere are strong enough certainly, displace that you will cross the pacific and ended in the western us. we've seen it happen before. we think sometime by tuesday orred with a storm system will push in -- tuesday or wednesday, a storm system will push in. it could follow sue. we think improving conditions are expected in the next 24 to 4408 also wet across the southwestern of the united states. the rain shower from tlux san diego. we'll take higher elevations. the san gabriel mountains above 5,500 feet, a couple of inch of snow there, as well. temperature at 6. phoenix cooled off to 8 after a reeb warm spell. -- recent warm spell.

he wrote, "i did not intend to question president obama's motives or the content of his --" here we are it "my intended focus was the effect of his words and his actions have on the morale of the country." giuliani's remarks about president obama were met with a firestorm of criticism. even republicans are distancing themselves from his sentless. some of them -- sentless. some of them on the sunday talk shows. >> he was expressing frustration in a way i don't agree. with i don't doubt the president's patriotism. it's been love of country. it's about leadership or lack of leadership. the way he arcticticulated it, i don't care for it. >> the "washington post" looked at giuliani's comments on obama, then examined quotes from the president's speeches finding at least nine instances where mr. obama outrightly expressed his love of country. for that the "post" gave mr. giuliani four pinocchios for

did. i was there on the scene. the one thing i am going argue about, the thing that's got my talking about this is in one of those types -- you haven't played it -- >> actually i think i know which you'll refer to. let me play the sound bites and see if that's what you're referring to. this is from the hamptons in 2009 -- >> when the argentines surrendered from the british, there were riots in the streets of buenos aires. i wrote about this in my novel "those who trespass." i was out pretty much by myself because the other cbs news correspondents were hiding in the hotel. what -- you got to cover the story which i did. >> reporter: that was the first time. i wanted to have you react. he says nobody else was out there that night. you say -- >> what he just said is a fabrication, a lie. there five cbs news correspondents including him assigned to the bureau. he send all five of the correspondents and all ten or 12 of the camera crew members out

into the street. nobody stayed in their hotel room because they were afraid. we were all working and swhau of a moderate sized riot. it was a couple of thousand people attacking the casa rosata or area around it by waving their arms clapping chanting singing songs. nobody attacked the soldiers. nobody attacked the police. there was nobody lying on the ground when it was over this i saw. >> o'reilly firmly defends all his claims.

have. >> reporter: tourism is crucial to the greek economy. none more so than on the island of makanos. luxury hotel owners describe running his business under the current circumstances. >> we need a perm and stable solution so investors will come back to greece. so we can plan our own businesses how we will manage to run them. we have to know what will be the environment, the taxes. now the economy's frozen. so for example i want to build a new hotel. and i don't know what will happen next month. so this makes us stop everything and wait. we cannot hold our breath forever. >> reporter: on the famous athens street renown for high-end boutiques and shops, you will find few people looking and even fewer buying. the greek economy is in dire

straits. the government appears to have been given some breathing space. but is this a question of simply kicking the can down the road or is it truly a first stop recovery? -- first step to recovery? senior political and financial analysts say now is the time to start addressing the make or break issue. debt relief. >> four months from now we will again be talking about very tough negotiations between greece and the eurozone about how to progress. that's the big question mark hanging over this deal. it leaves it just short of when greece has to repay the european central bank almost $7 billion in the summer and with no clear picture about how we move forward here and if there will be debt relief. >> reporter: hopes and fears, a juggling act as greece and europe consider their next

moves. and we're joined now live from athens to talk about the delicate balance between driving its economy and managing its debt. as you showed i worn if the greeks are used to it and are getting used to the jewelrile. >> reporter: i think there the key phrase is a fumes. extention after ecoxtension does not create the right environment for money to be coming into greece. for real project to be taking place thm is the -- place. this is the concern. obviously people are happy a solution has been found, and they're happy to hear that details are being worked out. many people also believe that the structural reforms are very much needed. and they're at the heart of the

problem in greece. the extension means that the economy is likely trow main frozen for longer because until the right environment is created for people to be able to invest here and to carry on with their lives. this uncertainty will remain. and i think this is very much at the core of how people are living their lives right now. they seem to be living in a perpetual state of crisis. >> yeah. it may be frustrating, but you all analysts have said the systemic financial issues that have underlied grease's economy had to be dealt with in order for it to prosper as part of the eurozone. work that needs to be diamondback done. thank you for joining us from athens. hsbc is presenting its earnings report for 2014 under the shadow of scandal. the global banking giant reports before tax profits of $18.7 billion for 2014. down 17% from 2013.
