the swat team seems to be in the area. apparently they were practicing not far from there, so the swat team managed to get on the spot. this is an ongoing situation. the area is obviously closed to the public. you mentioned about 20 victims, but no idea on how many casualties, how many injured people, how many dead people. some people mentioned that the shooter went floor to floor to kill people, but these are just witnesses talking. the shooting happened close to the inland regional center, which seems to be a place offering educational classes for disabled people and helping more generally disabled people. there are a few sure elements by now. considering what happened in colorado a few days ago with the shooting at planned parenthood, there is a whole panic around this.

catherine: thanks very much for bringing us those details from california. just to recap for you, reports of 20 victims at a shooting in san bernardino, a city that lies about an hour to the east of los angeles. police still seeking between one and three suspects, according to the latest reports. we will bring you more on that as we get it. there are just a couple of hours to go before britain decides whether or not to join france and the united states involving the islamic state group in syria. lawmakers in westminster have spent all day debating a motion put forward by the government. it states that there is a clear legal basis for the strikes and that they would only target the islamic state group. prime minister david cameron is expected to win about tonight. however, he has lost some sympathy for refusing to apologize for saying those who oppose him are "terrorist

sympathizers." let's get the latest. does it still looks like the prime minister is going to get his way and when this vote? -- and win this vote? reporter: yes, it does. 8 1/2 hours into this 10-hour debate. a mammoth debate. at times a very tense atmosphere in the house of commons, but a very clear message from david cameron, who was on his feet for 45 minutes initially, making an opening statement, then answering questions, amongst others from the leader of the opposition. mr. cameron's message was we must listen and answer the call from our allies. what has been interesting is the way a lot of mps have stood up and said, yes, we must hear the call for help we have had from friends. now let's remember -- from france.

now let's remember that we have a conservative government and a short majority of 12 mps. what's needed in order to get the green light from parliament -- the one he did not get to -- syria in 2013 what he needs tonight, around 10:30 london time, 10:40, he needs 50 at least rebels from the liberal party. we know the liberal democrats will vote for this motion. let's remember that the motion is to borrow isil or -- to bomb he now wantsh" as it to be called. he watched his language. galvanizing. allegedly,ivately,

that anybody who voted against tonight's motion would be a terrorist sympathizer. recorded calls from -- recorded d calls fromorte various prime minister -- various members of parliament that the prime minister should apologize. indeed, that comment is read as being directed mainly at the labor leader -- labour leader. jeremy corbyn has given his mps this, meaning they can vote with their conscious -- conscience. where does the public stand on this? reporter: jeremiah -- jeremy corbyn wants a kinder, new politics. he knows he has the huge support of the parliamentary -- not so

much the parliamentary party, supporters.arty you asked me where public opinion stands. week ago, ied me a would have said that 58% of public opinion was for this extension of the strikes. britain is already participating in strikes over iraq. but now 5 million people have changed their minds according to the poll in today's "times." it has gone down to 48% of people that think there is a case for this extension of british airstrikes to syria. catherine: a deeply divided country indeed on this issue. thank you so much. she will be back after the results of the vote is known -- are known later this evening. about two hours to go. here in france, police have shut a mosque to the east of paris. bernard cazeneuve announced that

authorities closed two mosques last week, all three places of worship suspected of encouraging islamist radicalization. under the current state of emergency, police have carried out 2235 raids. 235 people have been arrested, of themons seized, 34 described as "war grade" by mr. cazeneuve. >> operations are being carried out against organizations that call for violence and hate. within those operations, two mosques were shut down last week. i would like to announce today that a third mosque has been shut down. this morning, a large police operation searched and shut down the mosque.

22 people are no longer allowed to leave the country. catherine: the islamic state group has released a video purporting to show the of -- the execution of an alleged russian spy in syria. speaking in russian, the detainee allegedly confesses to being recruited by russian intelligence in order to gather information on islamic state group and its numbers from the caucasus region. turkey is hitting back at its itsm -- at a claim that president and his family are taking part in purchasing oil from russia. oliver farry takes a closer look. oliver: it is the most

sensational accusation yet leveled by moscow against turkish president recep tayyip erdogan. a minister said that the one -- family were's directly benefiting from the purchase of islamic state group oil. >> stolen from its legal owners, iraq and syria. according to information we have received, the political leadership of the country, familynt erdogan and his are involved in this criminal business. releasedussia also satellite footage that it saw -- satellite footage, but did not elaborate on its purported evidence. erdogan hit back and called the allegations slander. >> turkey has not lost its value

so much as to buy oil from a terrorist organization. those who slander turkey need to prove it. if they can prove their allegations, i will not remain in my post as president even for a minute. but those who make these slanders should also resign. this is what an honest politician would do. oliver: the fresh accusations follow a brief call earlier in the day when russian thing -- foreign minister sergey lavrov refused to sit down with his turkish counterpart. the latest accusations are bound to make difficult an agreement between the two countries, which have been at loggerheads since turkey shot down a russian plane for allegedly entering its airspace 10 days ago, and with moscow defending economic and military -- ourerine: let's bring in guest for a closer look at where

the islamic state group gets its money from. you are a security specialist. hopefully, you are well placed to tell us a bit more about this issue. one key question, i think, is how much money do we think the islamic state group is likely to oil?rning from >> you can't say exactly. you have many figures. what is probably right is that trafficking in oil is about 25% of the resources, about 25% of the resources. all the figures that you can find -- catherine: so, it is very hard to measure. >> yes, but i think that is changing every day. there is a fight against trafficking in oil, which gives results.

tracks from the border of turkey to territory controlled by isis. the situation is moving. the figures are very difficult. catherine: what about the customers? who are they selling this oil to? turkey, trafficking in turkey, because they need to to buyl and they need gas for the engines. you have trucks trafficking at the border. to go directly to the point, that does not prove a link with the turkish government. catherine: so, how credible would you say the russian claim is that they have evidence that the islamic state group is trafficking oil and the turkish president is benefiting?

that is a very specific claim, isn't it? >> exactly. so specific that i think the russians have to show the documents. nobody knows exactly. the families involved with official oil systems in turkey -- that does not prove anything. others -- wait, let like others, for the russians to show the documents and put them on the table to prove that. catherine: you said that oil makes around funny 5% of ash around 25% of resources -- makes around 25% of resources. what other resources does the islamic state group have? >> trafficking of other things in the country. antiquities are sold everywhere

in the world. against theto fight structural -- catherine: artifacts taken from places like palmeiro -- palmyra. about 25% of be resources. all the rest are what they call taxes on the population. trafficking maybe even on human beings. we cannot prove that today. at the end of it today, the money comes mainly from various trafficking. the u.k. is currently debating whether to join airstrikes against syria. germany is debating intervention as well.

some voices are arguing that military intervention is not the only way. we should be shutting down lines of financing as a priority. how might that realistically be achieved? >> first, if we want to fight against isis, you have to put in place different ways, including the military, but it is not enough. affecting only the financing would not be enough. today, you have to put the action on many different items and ways to fight isis. regarding specifically the financing of isis, you have to put the pressure on the traffickers themselves, of course, and something which is totally different is about the money itself, which are probably

being put in offshore places all around the world. then you have to put the banks and financial systems so that the money cannot isisce anything back in and cannot fuel the action of isis, including terrorism. catherine: thank you so much for aose insights, eric danon, security specialist in this area. moving on now with a breaking news story from cameroon. troops have freed 900 hostages who had been held by nigeria's boko haram extremists. , this according -- this is according to a government spokesman, who said the military has also killed more than a hundred fighters and arrested around 100 others.

these hostages now said to be reunited with their families. burma and aw to historic meeting for the s aung san suu kyi. she spoke earlier behind closed doors with the country's chief.nt and military reporter: preparing the but surely.lowly, close to a month after her party won burma's first free elections in decades by a landslide, aung san suu kyi met with top leaders of the country. first, she met with the country's president, thein sein. >> aung san suu kyi also said we need a good transition towards democracy.

as a good example in the future for young democratic country like ours, our government guarantees that we will make this happen. kyi's national league for democracy is expected to form a government in march of next year, but if her meeting with the army chief is any indication, the scope for change could be limited. the army will retain control over the interior, defense, and border affairs ministries. suu kyi will likely rule by hery as burmese law bars from the presidency because her children are foreign citizens. finally, the military still controls 1/4 of seats in parliament, giving his veto power over all constitutional amendments as well as a large -- giving it veto power over all constitutional amendments as well as a large say over other

legislation. the national democracy is hoping to avoid a repeat of 1990, when it won a landslide victory, but the military canceled the results and placed suu kyi under house arrest for a total of 15 years. catherine: a reminder for you of our top stories. at least one gunman is said to be still on the loose after a shooting in california within the last two hours. emergency services reporting 20 victims in san bernardino. will the u.k. join the war against the islamic state group in syria? lawmakers in westminster are making their final deliberations after a long day of debates and deep divisions. and accused of illegally profiting from oil trafficking between the islamic group and turkey, the turkish president and his family find themselves personally in the firing line of the latest claim from moscow.

this after turkey downed a russian military jet last week. let's move on now with some business news with will hilderbrandt. comments forlatest us from the chair of the u.s. federal reserve, janet yellen. positive ones. investors were already betting that the fed would lift its benchmark rate later this month. that rate has been between 0% and the 0.25% range since 2008. many suspect it could come when the fed meets with an two weeks. yellen's latest comments only reinforced the suspicion, saying that job growth suggested the labor market was still feeling, -- healing, although not yet at full strength. >> the economy has come a long way toward's the fomc's target for price stability. when the committee begins to normalize the stance for policy,

doing so will be a testament also to how far our economy has come in recovering from the effects of the financial crisis and the great recession. is in that sense, it something i think we are all looking forward to. catherine: it seems the united states and europe are on quite divergent class -- paths. william: and this will be an ongoing theme. new data out today that the european central have a green light to launch more stimulus when it meets thursday. eurozone core inflation, which strips out volatile items like food and fuel, fell out -- last , from last9% year's 1.1%. the disappointing data has led many to think that the ecb will launch more stimulus. that's also driving down the euro against u.s. dollar,

0.16%.ly 1.06, down catherine: how is wall street reacting? william: a lot of investors are positioning themselves for thursday's meeting and fridays job report -- friday's job report. the markets are down, all three of them. heavyweights like chevron, goldman sachs, and exxon mobil were the greatest drags on the dow jones industrial average. catherine: you mentioned energy stocks. renewable energy is one of the big things coming out of the ongoing paris climate summit today. william: this is technology that a long time ago was very expensive. now people are saying it is not just an ecological argument, but now it is really affordable. more and more investors are shunning coal, gas, and oil. those figures have skyrocketed since last year.

there are at least 500 institutions with more than $3.4 trillion in assets that have pledged to avoid or cut holdings in fossil fuels. let's take a quick look now at other business headlines. yahoo! shares are up on news that it could sell its core internet business. that's according to "the wall street journal." the company's board is looking at spinning off more than $30 billion in shares. yahoo! buyers -- yahoo! shares have fallen more than 30% this year, but they are up over 5% today. there are criticisms over crackdowns on uber. the watchdog agency said t hat with uber, there would be more choice. are -- an investigation is

poised to begin into mcdonald's taxes. starbucks and fiat chrysler had been ordered to repay millions of unfair tax subsidies. catherine: let's move across to latin america now. we are talking about the president of venezuela. he has threatened to jail the local managers of food company heinz. william: there's not a lot of information about this now. nicolas maduro is drumming up support ahead of parliamentary elections by cracking down on private businesses, which is coming during an economic crisis. he made the warning after he says he received complaints from workers at the plant. here is nicolas maduro speaking on venezuelan tv. is the head of venezuela's intelligence service. enough of the force was he -- enough of the bourgeoisie.

william: many people are saying he is scapegoating the private sector, using businesses as a sort of blame for the deteriorating rate of the economy, which is forecast to shrink another 10%. catherine: let's stay in latin america for one last story. argentina's president-elect has unveiled what he thinks his first task is going to be when he takes office on december 10. william: he made the comments today when he and his future cabinet gathered for a photo session. his chief goal is inflation. really no surprise since he ran on a pro-business platform. that problem has been complicated by a fiscal deficit left over from the previous government. macri haden to what to say. >> the issue of inflation has mark our last several years -- has marked our last several

years. the bills are worth less and less. this is the first task we must devote ourselves to, reduce inflation.
