>> a number of the world's top leaders will be meeting in just a few hours from now at the united nations, but one of them, president vladimir putin of russia seems to be taking the lead in the syrian crisis. putin is calling for collective action against the militants. he says efforts to end the war are not working and a new strategy is needed. >> and all of this is happening as we're learning russia will be getting intelligence about isis and iraq from the iraqi military. iran and syria will get the same intelligence. >> and for more, let's go to matthew chance who joins us live from moscow. matthew, let's look at the optics of this. russia's president putin appearing to spearhead the agenda on syria. what's he doing here and what are his likely intentions?

>> reporter: well, he really is spearheading, as you put it, that agenda. he's in the driving seat of this diplomatic initiative. not only is he backing the government in syria but he's putting military forces in place on the ground in that country to back up that diplomatic push. it has put him front and center and put the kremlin front and center of any diplomatic initiative of trying to resolve the crisis. vladimir putin and russia have a number of reasons why they might be interested in backing them up. russia has strong and important economic ties to syria, but the line the creme can lin is pushing, and putin said this again over the weekend. this is part of a broader fight against international terrorism, and he called on other countries to join with russia in that battle. take a listen.

>>. >> translator: we support the legit government of syria and it's my deep belief that any actions to the contrary to destroy the government will create a situation you can witness in the other countries of the region or in other regions. and there's no other solution to the syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism, but at the same time urging them to engage in positive dialogue with the rational opposition and conduct reform. >> all right. so fighting international terrorism, that's how vladimir putin is casting his diplomatic and military initiative. but i think probably a more critical analysis may have to do that, but more critical would be to say syria is a battle ground in russia's wider campaign to increase and to maintain its influence in the world. and in a sense, that's objective being achieved by the kremlin,

because vladimir putin as he prepares to speak is front and center of that diplomatic initiative over syria. >> he is, so how is the united states responding to russia calling the shots here? >> reporter: well, i mean, i expect that they're a little bit on the back foot. of course, the united states policy, according to vladimir putin and other observers has been a failure in syria. the spread of islamic state continues unabated. even though there's air strikes against the islamic state. there's also indications we've had from christian amanpour's interview from the iran yan leader saying there is coordination on the ground, but diplomatically between these various countries including russia and the united states and

the european union. that's something that's been rejected. the secretary of state saying there should be much more coordination if any kind of attempt to get rid of islamic state is going to succeed. take a listen. >> the critical thing is that all of the efforts need to be coordinated. this is not yet coordinated. i think we have concerns about how we've going to go forward. that's precisely what we're meeting onto talk about now. >> reporter: all right. not coordinated yet, but indicating that's what they're going to be working on. raising the possibility we could see greater cooperation and coordination between russia and the united states over this issue of syria and the islamic state. ? >> all right. we'll see if that happens. matthew chance from moscow and there are more developments. france has launched its first

iraqs again iraqs. >> cannot be part of any political transition in syria because he is, quote, guilty of the current chaos. >> and the british prime minister says all asaad can't be part of syria's future, but a speaks person says they would be willing to discuss hymn playing a role in a transitional syrian government. >> we are joined now to talk about the iranian role in all of this. you wonder with that the risks benefits are in iran in striking this agreement with iraq, syria, and russia. >> reporter: indeed. those seeing that coalition form quickly that includes russia, syria, and iraq, sharing intelligence with the other three that i was talking act. since the july 14th nuclear

agreement, iran has come out to have a louder voice in the negotiations, but the reality is all the efforts over the last couple of years have not born fruit. we've seen nearly 5 million syrians leaving the country. this has also reached the soil of the europeans as well. and more than 220,000 people killed in combat in syria. the president of iran is calling for a new formula. he told our christian amanpour, it's time to bring all the parties together. let's taken a listen. >> everyone has accepted that president asaad must remain so that we can combat the terrorists. however, as soon as this movement reaches the various levels of success and starts driving out terrorists on a step by step basis, then other plans must be put into action. so as to hear the voices of the opposition as well.

>> reporter: again, the regional concern here is that as iran starts to exert more influgs, the voices of opposition will not be heard. that is not limited only to the syrian, but to the gaza strip, and particularly in the last six months in yemen as we see a fight being played out between. >> they're suggesting a two-step approach on the work with the al asaad government and then talk about a transition. the truth is, isis and any group opposed to the government like the opposition are considered terrorists by al asaad. isn't that difficult or even impossible to achieve, the elimination of, quote, terrorists? >> reporter: no doubt. this is going to be the major challenge. i would think many believe and this is the timing of the u.n.

general assembly every year, that we have reached tin flexion point with the syrian crisis reaching into europe and all the deaths over the last four and a half years, there's a new strategy beginning to take hold. we should watch very carefully over the next 24 to 48 hours. this is part of the discussion between president obama and president putin today. can you form a broader discussion about syria? the formula pg talked about right now is the p5+1. they're talking about a broader coalition to bring saudi arabia and sunnis on one side and iran on the other side. there is where it gets more flex and more difficult with expanding coalitions in the last 24 hours. >> it's making this the first day of the u.n. ga that much more interesting.

live for us, john, thank you. >> and separately saudi arabia is being held far stampede. >> 155 iranians died. more than 300 people are missing. >> saudi arabian government must respond and be held to account for this lack of proficiency, for this lack of responsibility and safety that has led to the tragic killing of too many pilgriming from so many countries, but from many channels who will pursue this until we get satisfactory answers. >> that foreign minister said this wasn't a situation in which to play politics and iranian leaders should wait for the results of the investigation. you can see all of the one on

one interview with the iranian president tonight at 7:00 p.m. in london, 8:00 p.m. in berlin. for those of you watching cnn international. pope francis should be arriving in rome after completing his first trip to the united states. he left pennsylvania sunday night with a rousing send off that included the u.s. vice president, the pope said his heart was full of gratitude and hope. >> earlier on sunday, pope francis led an outdoor mass for thousands of catholics where he told the crowd to show affection and compassion for others. that was something he did as the first pope to visit a u.s. prison. he blessed more than 100 inmates there. >> he also met privately with

five people sexually abused as children, some at the hands of clergy. >> translator: god weeps for the sexual abuse of children. these cannot be maintained in secret, and i commit to ensure that youth are protected and all that responsible will be held accountable. >> and father timothy kaziki is the president of the united states and canada. he joins me now. and we know, father, the pope has wrapped up his trip to the united states. how pleased do you think the vatican would be right now with how things went? >> well, it was a brilliant success. in one sense you have a super star pope visiting a super power. sometimes when personalities like that mix, you don't know how it will go but it was a perfect visit. i think everyone in rome would be very pleased with the visit. >> it's interesting. the pope said he was overwhelmed

by shame at the sexual violation of children by his clergy. did that surprise you, how far he was willing to go on that issue? on the other side, some of the victims want to see more concrete action here? >> it would have surprised me if he hadn't said it. he had a beautiful image where he said god weeps. there's always a desire for the church to do more, and he has done so much, particularly in rome. his commission, his holding bishops to greater accountability. i think his visit was to meet these victims, these survivors of abuse and hopefully what he heard from them will help him to keep this effort on the front burner. >> what concrete action do you think he might ensure is taken. sn. >> i think the holding of those responsible to accountability is what most victims are looking

for from the pope, particularly if a major superior or a bishop has had activity in a diocese that should have been addressed. >> and so far, what do you see as pope francis's regullegacy, what do you think we can expect to see from him in the weeks and months and years perhaps ahead? >> well, his greatest gift is his personal touch, and making this very large 2000-year-old institution accessible even to the poor, and then his mission to go to the peripheries. he lights up when he's with the poor, because it's there that he feels we'll hear and come to know the voice and the face of god. so he has a tremendous popular appeal, but i don't think he seeks popularity. rather, he really wants to

invite people to live the gospel which is what he has given his life to. >> father timothy, thank you so much for talking with us. appreciate it. >> of course. >> he has personal appeal but doesn't seek popularity, and it's true. he is fearless in going out front and making changes that upset people from within the church as well as outside. it's quite extraordinary. >> but if you saw what he did throughout the u.s. and even when he was in cuba, he helped broker peace in columbia. had the speaker of the house step down. he has transformative trip just during his trip. they listen to what he says. >> well, the spanish secretary has won a majority of seats. the together for yes alliance wants to break away from spain within 18 months but the spanish constitution doesn't allow cessation. >> this will be a big issue in

the general election in december. >> still to come, a rare event n fear. more on the super moon, lunar eclipse. >> and demonstrators take the streets. stay with us.

did people think of that heavenly display? >> reporter: well, the last of us have just gotten off of this and they're basking in the glow. it was cloudy in los angeles, and the moon rose in eclipse. it would go behind the clouds and then come back out. but for the thousands of people who were up here, it was a spectacular event. many people sharing telescopes. i thought it would interesting to hear what this moment was like through a child's eyes. let's take a listen. >> it was kind of very exciting, and at first i it kind of looked like it was a bowl and a red liquid was being poured in it. and it was very exciting. a lot of people think it's exciting when thing glow. then it started to go away, and then it came back. and then it glowed white.

it went away again, and now it's just a sliver of white, and it was really cool. >> reporter: and there you have a rather articulate, and i would imagine she'll be wide eyed and bleary eyed when school resumes this morning. >> that's all she'll talk about at school. and we understand there was a little bit of howling at the moon and some suggestions this could mark the end of the world, but we are here still here at this point. what was that all about? >> reporter: well, there are some people who believe that the tet ra, the series of four super moon eclipses portended doom and gloom. on this hill, on this night with this crowd, all of them very much laser focussed on the astronomy, there was none of that. and, in fact, there was romance. love was in the air. we saw a couple become engaged

tonight. the groom to be surprising the bride-to-be, and they were ecstatic. a super moon eclipse and a couple who are now getting ready for the rest of their future of their life tonight. they certainly were not adhering to the doomsday prognostication. >> and we saw the pictures. she was very excited. paul with that live report from los angeles. many thanks to you. >> all right. now to some other stories we're following for you. protest rallies are planned across hong kong to mark the anniversary of a prodemocracy movement. >> one year ago, they stood wuf with place. on sunday a smaller crowd marked the anniversary holding yellow umbrellas which became a symbol of their cause. >> we look at what the movement accomplished and where things stand now.

>> an outbreak of violence in hong kong. tensions erupting as police unleashed tear gas on peaceful protesters. with our journalists caught in the chaos. >> reporter: we are now going to be enveloped in tear gas. >> reporter: from these clashes came the umbrella movement. so-called for the umbrellas used to shield. hundreds of thousands occupied the streets to demand true universal suffrage. one man, one vote. it has been one year since they took over the eight-lane highway shutting down the key part of the city for 79 days.

and today many people are asking after all the passion and protest, when what has been achieved. after passenger opinion turned, the protesters were cleared off the streets. hong kong's leader remains in charge. and while democrats rejected a beijing-backed proposal, the no-vote maintains the status quo. the umbrella movement was ultimately denied, and yet, student protest leaders still believe it was not all for nothing. >> translator: i'm not pes missive or feel bad about it. i think everyone is preparing waiting for the right reasons to take to the streets again. >> reporter: the teenage face of the movement has shifted his focus to 2027 when the feature is left in open question. he's taken his campaign message beyond hong kong speaking in washington d.c. last week. after the street protest ended,

most of the demonstrators returned to their classes or jobs, but life is not the same for many of them. protest leaders, including joshua wong and nathan law are involved in charges of unlawful assembly, and many dare not to travel into mainland china. there is also increasing concerns about china inserting pressure over hong kong. they say they're still pushing for chain has thanathan law is focusing on academic freedom. >> it will be very hard to fight for democracy. >> reporter: although it remains elusive, the umbrella movement achieved the political awakening of an entire generation who won't give up the fight to determine their political fate. cnn, hong kong.

collective action on syria, and defend the war-torn country's president. >> pope francis has ended his first trip to the u.s. and is on his way back to the vatican. he met with adults who had been sexually abused as children by clergy, family, or teacher. the pope said god weeped for victims like them and those responsible for the abuse would be held accountable. and a rare event occurred sunday in the skies. a super moon was visible across much of the earth. it happens when the sun, moon, and earth line up in a particular combination producing a lunar eclipse of super moon size. the last one was in 1982. in the 2016 u.s. presidential race, the front runners of both parties are facing some fierce competition in the latest polls.

>> the new nbc news wall street journal national poll shows hillary clinton losing more ground to sanders. she held a 60 point lead in june. now her lead is down to 7 points. >> and trump and carson are virtually tied. trump has 21%. carson is at 20% within the poll's margin of error. carson is standing by the comments he made voicing concern over muslims running for president. last week he said he would not advocate putting a muslim in the white house. >> now he says he's open to electing muslims, that is, if they elect sharia law. >> you said last week, quote, i

would not advocate for we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. >> i would advocate people go look and look at the transcript. >> should your faith mat tore voters? >> i guess it depends on what that faith is. if it's inconsistent with the values and principles of america, then, of course it should matter. but if it fits within the realm of america and consistent with the constitution, no problem. >> so do you believe that islam is consistent with the constitution? >> no, i don't. i do not. i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. >> let me ask you about islam. if you thought islam was conducive to the constitution, and you said muslims. >> i would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with islam.

if they're not willing to reject, you know, sharia, and all the portions of it that are talked about, if they're not willing to subject that to american value and the constitution, then of course i wouldn't. and i would ask you, would you be willing to do that and advocate for somebody who would not do that? probably not. >> i don't assume that somebody would put their religion ahead of the u.s. constitution, and the u.s. constitution says no religious test. >> except that i had already said before that that anybody from any religion, from my background -- i told you what the criteria were. i told the criteria. he's asking this out of that context. >> you don't think that in any way you said anything that could have been said more clearly about muslims? >> i made it very clear. >> because you seem to be singling out muslims as

individuals who automatically as a knee jerk would put their religion ahead of the constitution. that offended a lot of people, including a lot of patriotic muslims. >> the statement stands. is it possible that maybe the media thinks that it's a bigger deal than the american people do? because the american people, the they understand exactly what i'm saying. >> reporter: i think i've heard from a lot of people who don't think that muslims can be patriotic who agree with you. and i don't know that if i were running for president, i would want the support of people like that. >> of course muslims can be president. i've worked with muslims and operated on muslims. i have a lot of muslims who are very patriotic, good americans, and they gladly admit at least privately, that they don't accept sharia or the doctrines,

and they understand that islam is a system of living. and it includes the way that you relate to the government. and you cannot, unless you specifically deny that portion of islam, be a muslim in good standing. now, if that is the case, if you're not willing to reject that, then how in the world can you possibly be the president of the united states? >> reporter: so you are saying there's something specific about being a muslim that you have to reject islam in order to be a president? >> you have to reject the tenets of islam, yes. you have to. >> reporter: and that's different from an orthodox jew or a devout christian? >> if there's a devout christian

who's running and they refuse to reject the ideals of our constitution or if they want to establish a theocracy, i cannot advocate for them. >> reporter: you seem to be suggesting that muslim americans automatically want a theocracy, and i don't know any muslim americans, and i know plenty who feel that way, even if they are observant muslims. >> are you familiar with the tenets of islam from the aauthoritative group of the people who make the rules that goes back to the tenth century ad? >> i'm familiar with extremist interpretations. >> i'm not talking about extremiextrem extremiextrem extremist interestings. >> what portions of it? >> the portions that tell you how to treat women.

the portions that indicate that the calf here who are the people here who are not believers are subject to different rules, that they can be dominated. >> reporter: i think one of the things is you are a member of a church that there's a lot of misinformation about, you're an african american. you know what it's like for people who make false assumptions about you. and you seem to be doing the same thing with muslims. >> in which way? >> reporter: you're assuming they put their religion ahead of the country. >> i'm assuming that if you accept all the tenets of islam, that will have a difficult time abiding under the constitution of the united states. >> this interview is over. thank you. >> reporter: thank you dr. carson. i appreciate it. >> we are joined by the director at the center for politics at the university of virginia.

he c larry, what do you make of ben carson's explanation that he's really just uncomfortable with a person who accepts the tenets of islam leading the country. he seems to be missing what offends people in the first place. this is still entrol rant, isn't it? >> of course. he seems confused about the constitution. when you're in a hole, stop digging. and dr. carson continues to dig. he simply can't seem to stop talking about muslims and whether they should be president or in high office at all. and what i think he's really demonstrating is much like trump, he is a flavor of the season, the early season. he's very unlikely to be the republican nominee for president. >> you say that, but we've watched as donald trump has not behaved like a typical candidate and still risen in the polls. the other interesting

development here is ben carson's poll numbers at 20%, he's essentially tied with donald trump at 21%. that means the muslim in the white house controversy has only helped him. what should we make of that as we assess the republican field and the republican voters? >> first of all, trump has declined about 10%. he's on the down escalator. i think you're going to see that continue. ben carson has increased support in part because he has drawn some from donald trump. we need to remember one thing. donald trump is around to% of republicans and ben carson is around 20% of republicans. what does that mean? it actually translates to approximately 8%. that's 8% of the american elect rat. and they have very low ceilings. they can't go much above 25% or 30% at most. i think they'll be well below that by the time the primaries

begin. >> i want to get a question in for the democratic side. hillary clinton leading in the polls but when combined with joe biden, she loses support. the e-mail controversy has continued to dog her. do you think she has to be more concerned with e-mails or biden? >> well, of course one is a product of the other. we don't know if joe biden is running but people close to him have been hinting that he is closer to running than he was. and part of the reason why he's closer is because hillary clinton continues this massive slide in the polls. every time a new poll is taken, she drops another 5 or 10 percentage points, and this is with democrats. she has real difficulties. it isn't just the e-mails. it's the way she has responded to the e-mails. it's brought up that image that the clintons developed in the 1990s of being very secretive and not on the level, not

telling people what is really going on and what they really think. >> all right. good to get your incite on this. the director for the center of politics at the university of virginia joining us. thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> well, carly fiorina had a speech interrupted when part of the stage collapsed around her. take a look. >> yikes. you see how close that was to her. she was talking to a crowd in texas on sunday when the backdrop came crashing down. fiorina was not hurt and being a trooper, she went onto deliver her speech. >> a little too close for comfort there. >> yeah. >> taiwan readies itself for another typhoon. the second one to hit the island in two months. we'll bring you details after this short break. just might be the one.

landscape. the cloud field, 1,000 fill meters across. if you're watching us from california, the storm system, at least the field of the eye would take you from hollywood san francisco to san bern dean doe. >> and within 24 hours it crosses the taiwan strait by tuesday morning. that is major interest with the millions of people in its path. let's bring in the terrain. when you think about the island of taiwan,s the densely populated for mountains. the storm system as it interacts with the mountains will squeeze out the moisture. it is so strong that it could

retain typhoon status. the rainfall, somewhere on the order after a half a meter or 20 inches in the forecast in the isolated mountain communities. this is a life threatening landslide situation. we're talking about 300 millimeters. and in taipei, 6.9 people in the metro. bring in the skyline, seventh tallest building in the world. when you get to the top, you're increasing the winds about 30% more than the ground level because there's less friction. but as we close in, monday 9:30, the peak winds around 126 kilometer per hour. and throughout monday night and tuesday morning. a dangerous night for a lot of people across this region of

welcome back. india's prime minister says social media has changed his life. we sat down with mark zuckerberg on monday. >> the prime minister has more than 50 million twitter followers and 30 million likes on his facebook page. he is setting an example for how world leaders should connect with their citizens. >> let's get more on this. the indian prime minister selling zuckerberg that social media changed his life, but it was the fact that he teared up as he was telling the story that most people are remembering. tell us about that exchange. >> reporter: that's right, errol. so he was talking about how social media changed his life. he didn't go to a very good

school in india. he has talked about how he learned things about the world and history by wandering india, and he's also saying he learned a lot through social media, but right after this when he was asked to talk about his mother, that's when he got emotional. he choked up a little bit, and he talked about how his father was no more, but he had a very tough childhood because his mother was bringing him up. he talked about growing up very poor. and how proud his mother would be now that he is prime minister of india. >> untrnt pafortunate part is an people in india won't have the opportunity to have that experience because they don't have access to the internet. how did he address that issue, if at all, because this wasn't exactly a grilling that he went through. some observers of the event describe it as a pr event for both parties. but that's a serious issue, access to the internet.

>> reporter: that's right. and you can see why some critics would call it a p.r. event. he got to talk about his pet issues. he got to talk about digital india and doing business in india, and this was a coupe to get to speak to india. in india, facebook's number two market, it has more than 100 million users. for both parties this was win win, but to your point about how they have 1 billion people without the internet. india is far behind the curve. most people discovering it are discovering it on cheap smart phones. that's where the growth has come from. in 2010 india had 10 0 million internet users. there's now 300 million internet users. really, when people talk about digital india, they talk about every indian having access to the internet.

that's many years away, and lots of infrastructure as well as devices before we can get to that point. >> it's a good point. the same is true in the african continent with no infrastructure in the ground, many are jumping on the web on their old smart phones. if someone is trying to invent the next app, consider that. >> that's a good point. we're going to take a very short break. we want to thank you for watching this hour of cnn news room. >> only one more hour to go for the both of us. we're back after this short break. please stay with us. just might be the one.

to clean the oceans, to start a movement, or lead a country. it may not be obvious yet, but one of these kids is going to change the world. we just need to make sure she has what she needs.

>> and i'm rosemary church. this is cnn news room. zblrve a number of the world's top leaders will be meeting at the united nations, and vladimir putin is suddenly front and center in the efforts to end the crisis in syria. >> putin is calling for collective action against isis mints. -- militants. he says he supports what he calls the legitimate government of syria. we're also learned russia will be getting intelligence from the iraqi military. iran and syria will get the same intelligence. we're covering this story using global resources. let's begin with matthew chance who joins us from moscow. putin has moved the chess pieces

where he will be front and center in many ways. how will he will character ri rising this agreement? >> reporter: you're right about putin changing the game ahead of this united nations general assembly meeting. this is a figure who has been under international sanctions and still is under international sanctions over russia's alleged control in ukraine allegedly supporting the rebel forces. it's led to a certain degree of isolation of vladimir putin in the international community. that has now been shifted by his dramatic buildup which the kremlin denies inside syria, and his strong backing for the syrian government of bashar al assad. russia that has strong economic and military reasons to back syria. it has its only naval base in the mid train yan in that

country. but it's the issue of international terrorism which vladimir putin is saying the global community can unite around to fight islamic state in syria. take a listen to what he had to say earlier when he spoke to 60 minutes. >> translator: we support the legitimate government of syria, and it's my deep belief that any actions of the contrary in order to destroy the legitimate government will create a situation which you can witness now in the other countries of the region, or in other regions. and there's no other solution to the syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism, but at the same time, urging them to engage in positive dialogue with the rational opposition and conduct reform. >> so according to vladimir putin, this is all about fighting international terrorism, something that the international community can rally around, but what it's all about is bolstering russia's

position in the region and in the world at large. syria is its last hold and it's last ally in the middle east. if syria falls, the kremlin feels it will too. this is about bolstering clout as well. >> there are also domestic, pressures at play as well. the low price of oil has put a strain on russia. what might be the domestic motivation for this? >> reporter: well, i think the primary domestic motivation is to demonstrate that despite the low oil prices and the sanctions placed on russia by the european union and the united states, russia is still an important country and has to be dealt with by the international community. that's important for vladimir putin to show that it can sit at the top table, russia. that's important in terms of his

popularity. to some extent, he's achieved that. the fact that the debate has been shifted away from are ukraine when it comes to russia and toward syria and has placed vladimir putin at the center of that debate, shows russia is a crucial country when it comes to resolving the syrian civil war. >> it's fascinating to watch gee political movements happening step by step. matthew chance, thank you. >> for more on the iranian president's appearance at the general assembly, i want to go to john. it appears that a coalition around syria is forming quickly as we go into the unga. how is that being perceived in the middle east? >> reporter: well, there are real concerns being expressed here by allies in the gulf coast states, particularly saudi arabia. allowing iran to emerge, if you will, out of the shadows, and moving to center stage and

looking for a solution to syria, but the other reality is after four and a half years of fighting, more than 220,000 deaths within syria and nearly 5 million refugees, there's no solution in sight. there's why there was a suggestion that a new formula is needed, and it's one that doesn't include regime change and the name baa lshar al assad. >> everyone has accepted that president asaad must remain so we can combat the terrorists. however, as soon as this movement reaches the various levels of success and starts driving out terrorists on a step by step basis, then other plans must be put into action. so as to hear the voices of the opposition as well.

>> reporter: with iran and russia making forceful moves and forming a coalition, many believe the original voices to the opposition will be drowned out, and there are concerns in the gulf coast states that the allies of the united states in the process may also be sidelined as well as iran and russia come together with iraq and syria with a new solution that's going to the u.n. general assembly, at least in the side bar discussions today. >> it's interesting, and john, after four and a half years of fighting in syria, can a different approach be found this week, do you think? >> reporter: well, it's extraordinary to see what's happening over the last seven days. this new coalition. behind the scenes there are discussions about a new formula, a broader coalition that will include the p5+1. the shia will be represented by iran. what will happen today, the

first bilateral meeting in years. i'm sure this is a topic that's on the table. we saw the bilateral discussions over the weekend. it's not just going to be a coalition of iraq, syria, iran and russia going forward. they want to broaden it out. they had success with iran, but iran is starting to exert the influence, and this has players like saudi arabia and turkey resistant. nobody wants to see a failed state, particularly in this region, like we've seen in libya with gaddafi, a lawless state that's caused more problems in the region. >> that's right. many thanks to you. >> speaking of france, we have more new information on this story. that nation has launched its first air strikes against isis

targets in syria. the president says the strikes destroyed a training camp used by the militants. nick robertson joins us from london. nick, i keep saying it will be interesting to see the new developments. what are the details the france president provided in new york when he made this announcement on the air strike? >> reporter: this is a significant step, if you will, by france. this is something that's been in the works for some time. france has committed it along with all the nato nations to trying to destroy isis, and by going after them now with their air strikes inside syria, then, this is a significant step in that direction. of course, there are critics who say the air strikes alone aren't going to manage this. there's a lot of increasing pressure to find a lasting solution, and we heard that from david cameron over the weekend,

saying that while bashar al assad can't stay in power, this is a position the french government has had in a long time. they've painted themselves into a diplomatic corner. we're hearing from the british prime minister saying we need more discussions about the tr transition of bashar al assad. and given iran's relatively position so far over bashar al assad, there's a recognition among european nations, france and britain that bashar al assad may be in power during a transition. it seems most european people recognize it isn't going to help them with bringing in the conflict in syria is seen has

something that would play to the hands of isis. the picture is emerging of increasing military strikes but a stronger narrative that there's an opportunity here to get a political dimension going. for david cameron, that's significant. in october he's expected to go to seek support to follow in the footsteps of the french president and increase military strikes inside syria as well. if there is a stronger political dimension to this, that may support him in that effort as well. >> and the challenge here is that you've got russia and others saying that the government of syria, the government of asaad is legitimate. if you consider that with what holland said, he left the door open for additional air strikes, but it's unclear how the new agreement will affect that. i mean, what are some of the possibilities here? >> reporter: well, to a degree, it's semantics.

everyone is talking about everyone is saying everyone recognizing asaad will say. that's been iran's position for a long time. there is a sense iran isn't shifting from that, but the language says once you've had diminishment of the terrorists, then you can begin to draw in opposition voices. russia talked about defeating the terrorists, and it seems less committed over the longer run keeping president baa shsha assad in place. if we look at lavrov's speech in 2011 which was the end of the year of the arab spring. lavrov said, we always support our leaders. so russia has a position to maintain. now there's a consensus that asaad is there but over an undetermined period of time, we may have to go. there is a commonality there, but we're still a long way from

the details. >> indeed, nick robertson live from london for us. be sure to join cnn for extensive coverage for the u.n. general assembly session. we'll go live to the united nations in a few hours with speeches from the brazilian, united states, and chinese president. this begins at 9:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m. in london. >> iran's supreme leader is demanding an apology from saudi arabia for the stampede. >> more than 300 people are still missing at this hour. iran's president has called for an investigation. here's what he told cnn's christian amanpour.

>> the saudi arabian government must respond to this lack of proficiency, for this lack of responsibility, and safety that has led to the tragic killing of so many pilgrims from so many countries but from many political channels who will pursue an answer until we get satisfactory answers. >> he accusing iran of exploiting the trajty. >> the foreign minister says this isn't a time to play politics. >> you can see the one on one interview with the iranian president tonight at 8:00 p.m. in berlin, only here on cnn. >> now, pope francis has wrapped up his first visit to the united states and is currently on his way home to the vatican. before he left philadelphia sunday night he said his heart was full of gratitude and open. >> judging by the crowd's

reaction, the feeling was mutual. he led a huge outdoor mass. chris welsh has more. >> reporter: with a final wave, pope francis departed the u.s. but not before imparting one final blessing. >> i pray that you may be all be good and the human and material results to you. god bless america. >> reporter: earlier in the day he met with five victims of sexual abuse. speaking to a chapel bull of bishops after the meet yging, he vowed careful oversight to protect children from sexual abuse within the church. >> those who had the responsibility to take care of these tender ones violated that trust.

>> reporter: continuing his practice of reaching out to these living on the margins of society, he became the first pope to ever visit an american prison. >> this time in your life can only have one purpose, to give you a hand in getting back on the right road to give you a hand to help you rejoin society. >> reporter: the pontiff concluded his tour with an open air mass at benjamin franklin parkway, speaking before nearly 1 million worshippers, he focussed on the small things. >> like a blessing before bed or a hug after we return from a hard day's work. love is shown by little things. >> reporter: from philadelphia, reporting. hillary clinton losing ground in the 2016 race as he faces more questions about her private e-mail server. we'll bring you that next. and separatists are celebrating a victory in spain.

in the race for u.s. president, hillary clinton's lead is shrinking in the latest poll. >> a wall street journal national poll shows her lead down to 7 points over sanders. >> meanwhile, clinton is facing more questions over the use of a private server. >> it is like a drip, drip, drip. that's why i said there's only so much i can control, but what i have tried to do in explaining this is to provide more information than anybody else that i'm aware of who's ever served in the government. >> and hillary clinton's husband, former president bill clinton is speaking about the controversy. in an interview he said he believes republicans are using

this scrutiny of his wife's e-mails just to tear her down. listen. >> it's obvious what happened. at the beginning of the year she was the most admired person in public life. there are lots of people who wanted there to be a race for different reasons. and they thought the only way they could make it a race was a full-scale frontal assault on her, and so this e-mail thing became the biggest story in the world. >> now, meanwhile over on the republican side, a new wall street journal poll shows donald trump virtually tied now with ben carson. >> trump still leads the pack with 21% support. but carson is at 20% within the poll's margin of error. >> also carly fiorina had her speech interrupted when part of the stage around her collapsed. take a look.

>> wow. amazing images there. and she was talking to a crowd in san antonio in texas on sunday when that backdrop came crashing down. fiorina was not hurt, and she went onto deliver her speech. now to a big election in spain. and a victory for separatists in catalonia. they won a majority of seats on sunday. the together for yes alliance wants to break away from spain within 18 months. >> translator: we have a lot of work to do, and we're not going to relax. we have a democratic mandate and we know what that means. we know how we have won. we have won against the odds. but we have won and that gives us an amazing strength and legitimacy to carry out this project. we will do it and we will honor this democratic mandate. >> spain's prime minister is opposed to catalonia's independence, and he says

cessation is unconstitutional. this will be a big issue in the election in december. >> and from spain, we're joined on the phone. tim, spain's prime minister, as we mentioned, says cessation is unconstitutional in the wake of this vote. is that the case? >> that is the case. according to the constitutional court last year, any referendum in spain is illegal. there's no provision in the constitution for such a vote. they had a referendum which was not recognized, and all the proindependent people turned out and voted, but those opposed did not. interesting that they say this is a mandate. actually, the pro independents only got 48% of the vote. there's more conservative part of the spanish media this morning trumpeting a majority against independents, and

there's another wrinkle. the alliance to the proindependent parties needs another party to make it workable. the leaders simply just don't get along well. >> given that, what impact with the separatist vote likely have on the general election in december? >> reporter: that is going to be a very interesting question, because one thing that emerged from last night is now in government in madrid. it's bad. they lost nearly half their seats in catalonia. all the parties are going to be maneuvering themselves for the best advantage. most polls suggest there will not be an overmajority for any party. we've got the potential of a double whammy here, and certainly because of the vote in catalonia, but also much more uncertainty in madrid. they are not used to coalition

building, so that could produce a prolonged period of federal lis at the heart of government. >> all right. we'll watch this very closely. tim joining us on the phone from cov or the doe va. >> see how some victims hope to leave the past behind. >> and people around the world, including in jerusalem looked up for a rare glimpse to have a super moon. we'll have more on sunday night's celestial event a little later. stay with us. you forgot the mil! that's lactaid. right. 100% real milk, just without the lactose. so you can drink all you want... ...with no discomfort? exactly. here, try some... mmm, it is real milk. see? delicious. hoof bump! oh. right here girl, boom. lactaid®. 100% real milk.

in 18 months. it will be a critical issue in the election in december. now in iraq, the future of the nyazitits. >> the government out state in germany has offered to give refuge and counselling to hundreds of traumatized women and children who are former captives. we witnessed the emotional -- >> they're dressed mostly in black, the color of mourning. women whose faces we will not show to protect their privacy. kurds subjected to inspeakable crimes by isis. they receive a final blessing from their spiritual leader. what isis did to you will not happen again, he says.

stop wearing black. it will only remind us of what we've suffered. iraq is the ancestral homeland of the ancient, ethnic community. a sanctuary, a temple. >> i'm deep in the heart of the temple, the holiest sight for them. this religious minority has a long and painful history of persecution, but no one could have predicted the froeshness of the assault they faced by isis. >> a little more than a year ago, isis militants attacked the northern province where they allegedly massacred more than 3,000 yazidis and captured at least 5,000 more. triggering a mass exodus has hundreds of thousands of yazidis

fled their homes. >> this man has interviewed more than 1,000 former yazidi captives of isis. >> many of them were sex slaves under isis captivity. they were beaten, tortured by isis fighters. they have ptsd, depression, and we have no instruments here in iraq to treat them. >> reporter: the month 66 yazidi women and children begin the long journey. they arrive barefoot. among those leaving is a 15-year-old. i'm both happy and sad to go, he says. isis killed my dad, my cousins and uncles, and they kidnapped 25 relatives including women.

his uncle shows photos of murdered family members. not pictures, his 16-year-old sister who was enslaved by isis for three months before she escaped. her family will get a chance at a new life in germany, but that does not make saying good-bye any easier. go ahead, get on the bus, his uncle tells him. this is the agony of the yazi s yazidis. attacked because of their faith with thousands still in modern-day slavery. survivors left with little choice but to say farewell to their homeland. >> such a tough story to tell there. >> yeah. >> all right. we shift to the weather, and we are tracking a powerful typhoon

expected to make land fall soon in taiwan. >> we can show you these huge waves crashing on the island's east coast. dujuan is predicted to hit by monday evening local time. the second typhoon to hit the country since august. >> taiwan is about to get slammed with that pretty strong typhoon, and we are joined by our meteorologist for the details. >> it's amazing. seeing the video, getting information on the maximum wave heights over the open waters with that typhoon, about 37 feet high. nearly four stories tall. that is about three hours away from making land fall. a healthy category 4 storm. the differences between a typhoon like this and a super typhoon, only 20 kilometers difference. look at taipei city, wind gusts

halted or delayed on the order of roughly 100 flights as the storm system nears. conditions will go downhill. i want to show you the landscape. we know land fall between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. when it moves across portions of tie pawn. it goes from a category 4 to potentially a weak typhoon or tropical storm. we're talking about the mountains that rise about 3,000 meters. about 300 of these are coming up to this altitude. you're talking about the storm system running into essentially a complete wall, falling apart a little bit, but still reemerging over taiwan strait by this time tomorrow. about 20 million people impacted, and the rainfall tremendous as the mountains force the moisture to squeeze the rainfall down about a half a

meter coming down across some of the mountains. a foot near taipei, that's about a month's worth of rainfall. the storm system being the 12th named typhoon this season. 16 named storms this season, and the density to areas getting in on the strongest winds and rainfall associated with the storm system. the peak winds inside the storm system, taipei with wind gusts of up to 122 kilometers. and dangerously strong across the region. i want to show you a satellite presentation. measure the eye of the storm system. the eye from one side to the other, you're talking about 100 kilometers from one side of the eye to the other side. that is roughly from london to

errol's hometown of milton keys. >> great reference point there. and also the good news is that people in tie waaiwan are used these types of storms. >> absolutely. >> thank you. we'll check with you another day, because we won't see him next hour. >> the president strongly criticized the human rights effort. >> the chinese president insisted human rights reform in his country would come on its own timetable. activists inside china are fighting to speed up the changes, and they're paying a huge price. >> reporter: for years, this woman has had to use a wheelchair to get around, a result from injuries of police who tortured her.

a human rights campaigner, he says china's human rights crack down is worse under the current president. >> there are many law-abiding citizens fighting for authorities. the authorities are afraid of more people like that coming out and taking a stand against the government. >> reporter: that's what rights groups say happened in july when police arrested or detained nearly 150 lawyers, activists then a their families. why? >> because lawyers are doing more to defend peep's rights, a lot of victims of persecution are seeking help. >> reporter: but chinese officials had a different reason. police telling state media they'd targeted with criminal gang. she studied law and became an activist when houses were being

torn down to make away for the olympics. >> a group of cops dragged me into a room and put a rope around my neck and tied my hand behind my back. they pinned me to the ground and pulled me up by my neck. then i was sent to the detention center. after 75 days in a cell, my hips, spine and waist were all badly injured. she shent more than two years in jail again in 2011 for making trouble. and continues to attract attention from the authorities. >> last year during the apec summit, a huge number of police officers trapped us inside our home and stopped us from going out. >> she told me she and fellow activists appeal to other countries to pay closer

attention to china's human rights situation because international pressure still makes a difference, despite china's rising economic might. cnn, beijing. >> a rare celestial event had some in wonder. a few others in fear. plenty of people showing images on social media. coming up next, hear all about the super moon, lunar eclipse. >> plus somewhere in the world, a child dies from malaria every minute. the global push to eradicate the disease. dave'morning double bogie. game, hey, three putt. and starting each day with a delicious bowl of heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran. how's your cereal? sweet! tastes like winning.

bite away from death. and that is a moral outrage. it is a profound injustice. it is literally a matter of life and death, and now the world must act. >> and that was barack obama speaking at theup u.n. development summit on sunday. world leaders were trying to tackle goals to better the planet on its population. >> and even though malaria is treatable, 584,000 people died from this disease in 2013. the group malaria no more says the disease kills a child every minute and is one of the top three killers of children worldwide. >> the world health organization says malaria is the fifth largest killer in sub have a

hair ran africa. >> i've looked through a report detailing how we can eliminate malaria by 2040. tell me what's at the core of this plan. >> sure. thanks for having me. when president obama started his remarks at the u.n. general assembly, he said it's a moral outrage that so many kids are just a bite away from death, and really at the core of this plan is to change that. a child still dying every minute from a mosquito bite, and we've made tremendous progress. we've seen a 60% reduction in deaths from malaria. this plan takes that a step further. it says based on the progress and the political commitments and based on the product development pipeline and it's the envy of the global health world. if we can do it by 2040, the man says we can save an additional

11 million lives and unlock $2 trillion in the developing world. >> you essentially have to excite peel aople and convince a new effort is necessary. as you mentioned, malaria deaths have fallen by 60% in the past 15 years. why is it not true if we continue at the current pace, it will eventually be eliminated. >> that's a great question, and one that we really want to emphasize. in our view, there really is no alternative to eradicating this disease. we face two forms of resistance. one is biological. we're in a constant arms race with the malaria parasite and the mosquito which builds resistance. and if we lose that arms race, it will cost millions of lives around the world. that's one reason we need to eradicate. the other kind of resistance is political. we're spending $3 billion a

year, and it's well spent on the malaria fight. the only way to sustain that level of funding is for us to have a clear end game in sight. we think we're at a point now based on the tools we have, the success we have, that we can do that in the next 25 years. we think now is the moment to start this dialogue and start this campaign to eradicate malar malaria. >> we hope they look into this report and consider what you're offering. thank you, marten, the ceo of malaria no more. >> thank you. >> to a developing story now in jerusalem. israeli security forces have entered a mosque for a second straight day. police say they were preventing troublemakers inside the mosque from trying to harm visitors. they say demonstrators were throwing molotov cocktails. the latest unrest started as
