on the west. i will talk to malala, her first interview since being awarded the nobel peace prize. we will have any news that comes out of that. a quick update coming in now. josh ernest has addressed reports that one of the americans being held in north korea may be on the verge of being released. that is jeffrey fuller. we should have a fuller explanation at the state department that should begin any moment. this just in. all passengers from liberia, sierra leon or guinea will be required to fly into one of the five airports that have enhanced screenings in place. the government is working to implement this with minimal travel disruptions. oscar pistorius was sentenced to

years for shooting and killing his girlfriend. he was taken into custody immediately after the court cited his gross negligence and shooting through a closed bathroom door. you probably remember this pattern, killing her on valentine's day last year. his family reacted to the verdict at the courthouse. >> we accept the judgment. oscar will embrace the opportunity to pay back to society. >> sad news for all involved there. the fashion world is mourning the loss of oscar de la renta on the frontlines of culture and coture for decades. from weddings in the white house, his designs were seen on a number of first late ladies as well as brides. amal clooney last month. he redesigned their uniform for free in 1980. an iconic look there as he

battled cancer. they wrote of his final moments, he felt he had the most amazing and he was not afraid. his last words to me were i love you and i said i love you back. the softer side than we usually see. in pennsylvania, another possible sighting of cop killer eric frein. he may be in that area. there 200 officers working to search it. the pocano mountains school closed as a precaution. another major crime story we are following right now. police are pouring through unsolved murder cases searching for sections connections after authorities announced an indiana man confessed to killing seven women in that area. the suspect, darren van hinted there to be more victims still to come. he was charged yesterday in one of the murders other the

strangulation of africa hardy. you see her there. she was working as an escort at the time. her mom talked about what africa was like as a person. >> she could walk in a room full of people and they stop and -- her smile, her beauty. stunning. she was my beauty queen. she loved to take pictures. >> unthinkable for any mother to go through. john is following this in nearby chicago. what's the latest you can tell us about the investigation? >> police say they are still cooperating in this investigation and police in indiana are going through the cold case files and through missing persons reports. seeing if there is any cases that they might be able to talk about. the same thing in texas where van lived in the late 90s, early

2000s in texas where he lived. he was convicted in 2008 of sexual assaults and served sometime in prison there. police here in chicago and in cook county are also expressing interest in talking to van as they think he may be helpful in some of the cold cases here. some of the missing person cases here. this could lead to many, many more victims to be found in coming days. >> we have been following your reporting and a number of these victims appear to be escorts. very few, i believe just one, have been reported missing. >> that's right. only one of them. they identified four of the seven so far and only one had a missing persons report filed on them. all of the four identified, the police say they were prostitutes and all strangled. afrikka hardy was strangled with a thin cord found in a motel

room in hammond, indiana. the assault case in texas also involved a sex worker, an escort. there may be a pattern developing there. the other thing about gary is that gary's population has been cut in half in the last 20 years. all the bodies were found in abandoned buildings and homes. gary has about 10,000 abandoned buildings because of the population shrinking there. police are talking about using cadaver dogs to go through the buildings now. ronan? >> a grim business. thanks for following this. here's something revealing in this story. six of the seven women were found in a similar setting. abandoned buildings in that community in gary, indiana. listen to what the mayor said about how widespread that phenomenon is. >> as we get reports or as we

find that buildings are open, we do in fact board them up. we are also in the process of demolishing buildings, but when you have 10,000 buildings, you don't have the resources to demolish all of the ones that would be candidates for demolition. we anticipate in the next year that we will be demolishing 1,000 buildings. >> you have 10,000 abandoned buildings? >> that is correct in the city of gary. >> phantom buildings. this is not just about a single killer, but the crime that flourishes in the midst of american poverty. a criminology and a professor of criminal justice in san bernardino. thank you for joining us. there is data emerging behind this. 2600 crimes reported in aband onned buildings and vacant lots. a 48% increase from 2005.

meanwhile in the same time frame they fell 27%. according to the figures from the city's database compiled by the lawyer's committee for better housing. in your view, how real is the link between these depressed areas and crime? >> i do think there is a link. one of the things we know is that there is a socioeconomic component to crime. with regard to serial killing, i think a lot of it relates to the environment that the particular serial killer is in. what we are seeing is the fbi put together a national tracking system with respect to truck stops where people can get lot of. i think more broadly, where can people who are disconnected perhaps from businesses, family and friends get lot of. the buildings are one of them

and transportation hubs. that's where they committed these crimes before his current place of residence. they attracted crime and in fact 83% showed illegal activities like prostitution focused around these abandoned buildings in depressed areas. how vulnerable are the types of areas that they found like sex workers? >> that's an excellent point. it's not just with regard to killings, but a small number. prostitution and other types of vices and squatting and meth establishments are all places where we have low density population, but abandoned buildings. the more someone can hide, the

better. particularly if there is a structure. both crime and the ability to travel easily, both abandoned structures and the ability to travel easily are two important factors. someone can hide or get lot of. abandoned buildings one. >> what does that tell you about the culture of how we talk about this poverty centric crime that only one woman had been reporting missing out of the group of escorts we were talking about? >> it's a terrible thing. what we see is the wow type crimes. for the crime to take place with middle class folks are much more covered. this has changed in part because of socioeconomics. in 1950 about 3/50 were white. now only about 1/3 are. we are seeing a much greater percentage of serial killer be

african-american, particularly those a the lower end of the income level. they might be able to hide and perhaps enforcement is not as big of a priority in more healthy communities. >> troubling all-around to help us understand. breaking news this moment. we brought you this story. the white house confirming an american jeffrey fal has been released from north korea has been released. >> jeffrey has been allowed to depart and is on his way home to rejoin his family. we welcome the decision from the dprk to release him. while this is a positive decision, we remain focused on the continued detention of kenneth bay and matthew myiller.

the governor will work actively on their cases. we are appreciative for the tireless efforts of their embassy in pyongyang that acts as a protecting power in the united states. as a condition of his release, the dprk authorities asking the government to transport him out of the country upon his release. >> again, confirmation on the report that is an american has been released by north korea and we are learning that the maim is jeffrey foal. they picked him up before flying to guam. he was arrested in may for leaving a bible at his hotel. the white house confirming this. we will keep an eye on the state department and we may learn more. up next, two major shifts in another international story. the fight against isis. both of the shifts could buoy ground forces the united states

is depending on. could they be counted on? the man who wrote the book in iraq, the lieutenant general is up next. easy as it gets. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is. start shopping online from a list of top-rated providers. visit angieslist.com today. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

breaking news right this moment. jeffrey foal, that is the name in fact has been released from north korea and is on the way home to join his family. we are awaiting a briefing in which we should learn more. we will bring any news that comes out of it. another international story, a new shift in the war against isis. finally agreeing to allow kurdish fighters to cross over from iraq to kobani. the embattled syrian city on that country's border at turkey.

they had aid into the war torn city. they were accusing the president of abandoning that city,lying them to flee or be slaughtered. what is not in dispute is this. kobani is being battered. look at the new satellite images. this first shows the northern part of the city in early september before isis invaded. look at this new image. buildings destroyed. the red arrow pointing to a large crater. the announcement comes after the military dropped new palettes of weapons and ammunition to resupply the kurdish fighters. is it going to turn the tide? joining us now, the retired lieutenant colonel who served in the first two iraq wars. and now author of a new book, knife fights, a memoire of a modern war. colonel, i wanted to ask you

about iraq, but this new report that american weapons intended for kurds dropped in by isis. how big of a mistake is that? >> that's a challenge and a problem. the kurds are happy today, much happier than they have been with two big steps for the fight against isis in the northern corner of syria. the weapons and ammunition being dropped. they got more than isis did and generally when we drop the palettes, we have self destructing mechanisms. they benefitted from the drop. the precedent set was very important. the united states is now taking a more direct role and providing logistics to the battlefield. that has to be heartening for the kurds and everyone fighting against isis. >> i know that is something you have been advocating for. i wanted to drill down on that.

a long history of arming and training proxy forces on the ground. that's in this part of the world. how do you mitigate that risk here. they will take these resources and some of the fighters on the ground and maybe even ultimately turn them against the united states. >> what we need to do, we have about 1500 american advisers on the ground in iraq. i think we need to multiply that by probably a factor of 10 and we need to push them closer to the fighting and put those advisers inside iraqi units and kurdish units and that will increase reliability and allow us to provide intelligence to the forces about isis and make them more effective against isis and allow us to gather intelligence and make sure they haven't been infiltrated. there is no substitute as effective and helpful as the power is. there is no substitute for some american boots on the ground. we have 1500 guys on the ground,

but they are not as far forward to make an immediate impact on the battlefield. >> here's one thing you said. america needs more aggressive strategies against isil and calling for a force of thousands rather than the hundreds currently on the ground in iraq. what about the composition of those forces? we talked about the pitfalls of the proxy militias on the ground. does it need to be entirely american forces to pull it off correctly? >> they don't. most of the fighting should be done by forces than by kurdish forces. they will be far more effective and take action more rapidly and effectively and push isis back faster if those americans are embedded with them, calling in air strikes and bringing in logistics at the front edge of the battlefield. there is some risk to the americans if we do that, but i think that is less risky than allowing isis to continue to

advance. >> colonel, we showed the pictures earlier that were so striking of the desmation around kobani. do you feel we intervened too late? you called for more aggressive and here's another interesting comparison, earlier satellite image on the right. on the left, a newer one showing all of the vehicle abandoned by people fleeing the devastation. clearly just an incredible thing there and a lot of lives lot of and livelihoods destroyed. what do you think of this question of it being too late or not? are you advocating for a forceful intervention. >> the really discouraging thing about this fight both in iraq and syria, it was foreseeable and preventable. the administration pulled all advisers out of iraq at the end of 2011 and not choosing to arm, train, and equip the moderate syrian rebels in 2012. had they done so, isis would not

control territory and conduct jihadi training right now. would not be the biggest name in international jihad at this moment. i am deeply concerned we waited too long. i'm pleased we are finally taking strong steps against this threat. >> you are always an incredible clear voice on this. thank you for all your years of service. >> a pleasure, sir. >> back to the breaking news. the white house just confirming that american jeffrey foal has been released by north korea and is on the way home to join his family. ongoing right now. the state department is saying they are trying strenuously to free other americans being held including matthew miller and kenneth bay who is already there. both are still in north korea. we are awaiting more out of the state department. they are holding the briefing right now. you can see the press room with more and more people filing in. joining me now is victor cha,

the director of the asian studies program. do we have you on the phone? >> yes, right here. >> me more about the dynamic. how much are we up against in trying to free the individuals still being held? >> 50 of all, it's georgetown university, but they get confused. in terms of what we are up against, the north koreans are very firm about the holding of these two americans. it is surprising that they released one of them. it's encouraging because it means the state department negotiates the release of the other two. that would be fantastic. this is a big surprise because they have been very inflexible about allowing these individuals to leave the country. >> and professor, we have seen so much in north korea politics, it's hard to look inside behind the vail of what's going on. apparently a lot of changes in

leadership fomenting. does that held the promise for these individualings. could we see a desire to join the international community? >> that's the hope, i think. we have been disappointed many times over the past two to three decades, that internal change would lead to more of a cost of the external behavior. that's the signs from this leadership that has not been positive. president obama tried to reach out early on in the administration and he got in the testses and the americans. the north korean leaders did disappear and reappeared and perhaps that might -- we had this shift in policy. that might be an assignment they could be interested in. they have been passing the maritime border and shots have

been extinguished. there lots of signals. they were in the area, but it's jerky. >> a lot of unknowns. vickor cha, appreciate you giving us that update. we will keep an eye on that story and the state department updating the world in moments about this released american that had been held in north korean custody. we want to update ow other stories we are keeping an eye on. particularly things spiking on social media. it's the daily spike. monica lewinsky is back in the headlines after joining twitter for the first time yesterday. she made an appearance of 30 under 30 summit, talking about the online bullying epidemic. >> overnight i went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one.

i was patient zero. the first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the internet. >> using the star power she never wanted to have to call attention to an penitentiary issue. she said it was about the suicide of that rutgers freshman and victim tyler clemente that sparked the outreach. after day, she has 54,000 twitter followers. next up, spiking reaction to gamer gate still going strong including to the interview with the woman at the heart of the storiy zo storiy, zoey quinn. she was accused of sleeping with journalists for positive game reviews and tormented with slur and threats.

that ex-boyfriend tweeted this. breaking msnbc admits gamer gate was my ex's fault thanks to her for all of the sexism to report on quality news. all right. we are going to keep an eye on that story. interesting take there. we will bring you another aspect of gamer gate. the allegations of corruption in the gamer media. it's that time of the year, a lot of twitter activity. the world series beginning at 8:07 p.m. the royals and the giants. it's all about the wild card since 2002 that two wild card winners are up against each other. a reminder about why i'm here in philadelphia. i will be interviewing malala, the young pakistani girl who was attacked and injured by the taliban for advocating for girls's education and the winner of the 2014 nobel peace prize. this will be the first interview since receiving the nobel.

we will bring you any news that comes out of it. what should we ask malala. what do you want to hear? tweet your questions t to #ronation. the challenge for democrats counting on black voters to turn out on election day and what the white house may be doing to help.

scarce at the moment, but the state department has confirmed that jeffrey foal has been freed from captivity and is now in guam. possibly already on the way back to the united states. extremely unusual circumstances and even the fact that a u.s. plane landed in the north korean capital to take back home a citizen. we know that jeffrey foal has been held in a hotel room in pyongyang for some weeks. he is from ohio. a father of three who had a passion for adventure and went to north korea on vacation. unfortunately he left behind a bible in his hotel room. as far as the north koreans were concerned. that was an offense. the united states tried for a long time to get 18 envoy to

negotiate his release and the north koreans wouldn't have it, but they released him. two americans remain detained in north korea. ben ethbay who is a korean american has been sentenced to 15 years in jail. the other man, matthew miller is detained and he was a tourist for a gross violation of north korea's legal order. their status is still in the balance, but it seems like they will be on the way to the united states. >> now over to the mid-terms. take a listen to president obama offering real talk to voters in chicago. happy news here at home. listen to this.

>> they want it connected on a much grander scale. black voters. they are writing that the white house is on something of a secret offensive. the president is waging an under the radar campaign roaring advertisements and interviews and telephone calls targeting his loyal african-american base. is it working? or will it be too little too late? mayor, both of the mayors. thank you.

it's higher than at the polls. >> african-americans like all voters will vote their interest and while president obama is not running in 2014, at least here in philadelphia and in pennsylvania of course we have a hotly contested governor's race and the number one issue being education. education is the driving force. one of only three states in america. all voters are paying attention to that issue. they want their kids to get a great education. that's where we want to focus. >> we know how penitentiary president obama is to courting black voters and a lot of

candidates are staying away including candidate michelle nun who is trying to get so much distance from the president that she is am can be up on the other end. take a listen. >> what david purdue tell you is he works for the ceo points of light foundation. >> what are effect does that have? is he at risk of losing that vote or does this stigmatize the president and backfire. >> they understand what it takes to get michelle nun elected to the senate in georgia. i think the support is the reason among others why she is up three points, two to three points over her competitor, david purdue. black voters are sophisticated

enough to understand that winning a statewide election in georgia where we have not had a united states senate candidate win in more than a decade is a little more difficult than other parts. they are going to give michelle nun the space that she needs to be successful. we understand in no uncertain terms how bogged down the united states senate will be if it slips into the republican control. if michelle nun is elected, it will be tough to take control of the united states senate. >> according to the center for american progress, there 600,000 black voters in georgia. what are the obstacles to getting voters more registered. >> 600,000 black voters and 200,000 latino voters.

20,000 newly registered voters and an overwhelming number of those happen to be people of color. we are excited. regarding the other 600,000, you have to do the work. the race for michelle nun is right in front of us. the work now will require us to get to over 50%. everybody is piling in and supporting michelle nun. they sent another $1 million to the state to help the effort and every important black elected official. just to get us over the 50% win number. >> pennsylvania is still a hold out state where there is no early voting. we know that's a practice that has been there to help the community get to the polls. you see that changing any time soon? >> i don't know what the general assembly will do.

what they need to do is work on fixing education and supporting young people and encouraging their growth and development here in pennsylvania and so we are within a few weeks of the election. the 30 under 30 here right now. young voters and all voters ahead at to get out to the polls on election day on november 4th. i'm a democrat and i'm supporting tom wolf to make the changes in harrisburg that need to be made with a particular focus again on education. i think the voters understand what is at stake. people need to do what they need to do and stay focused on the election and make sure that we are supporting young people and getting them educated. >> important message right now. mayor, thank you to both of you. mayor, if you would stay with us, we look at an issue on the docket for the forbes summit which we are both at. a turning point in the crisis of

unemployment among millennials and a charge the mayor himself is leading in the city of brotherly love. don't go away. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle, see how much you could save.

first interview since the nobel peace prize. a new push against a national problem. 20% of youth are unemployed and in philadelphia, 13.5% of young adults are without work. philadelphia will be highlighted as a model at the jobless summit on global youth unemployment. what less know ones can the city teach as it wraples with a major chal inj. what's the return been on the investment? >> we have been able to get a lot more young people summer job opportunities as well as expand the programs for year around employment. we have been able to attract

federal grants. i made a decision that we have to stay focused on the young people and especially the 16 to 24-year-old cohort and obviously there other young people in the later 20s that were focus on that in particular. especially in the summer, they need that summer job not just for the money. the money is good, but it's also about the experience. it's about building that resume and being in a safe and caring environment. it's about working with other adults and getting ready even at the age of 16 which i remind young people in a short five years, you are going to be an adult. getting that early start has been a focus for us in the business community. many have responded to that car and we ton push and strive to get thousands when it will be

interesting to watch, you have been assisted a little bit from the federal government and do you think they need to do more to help the cities? some them have expired and impact the programs and made us rethink what we are doing. there was no it is beyond me to understand how the congress could even think about cutting funding for summer jobs programs. everyone, most folks around anyone who has been successful, more often times than not, they had a summer job at some point

in time. they learned about work and took on maybe a mentor and started to really help figure out what they were going to do with their future. it doesn't mean what you do in the summer is what you will end up doing. the point is that you get used to the experience of work. of getting up and working with other people and going every day and being on time. taking on tasks and responsibilities. those are the skills and traits that will help you later on in life. we need to give young people that opportunity. the second thing that we need the congress to do and president obama is way out in front is that we need the national minimum wage to be raised. especially to help young people and other folks along. help lift many out of poverty and circumstances that the clip showed can barely take care of themselves. what's the point some this is

the united states of america. our main function and responsibility is to help people along in life. >> you highlight the penitentiary truth that size in so many things, these are not youth solutions, but general solutions that will help young people who need this. >> absolutely. >> thank you for all you are doing on this. >> thank you. >> for a call to action, we focus on this challenge. directly trying to connect promising millennials to real jobs. the impressive young graduates, the organization hosting the summit on youth unemployment. they enter the workplace. if you are looking at top notch talent at i house-nyc.org or any job leads you might have. we want to hear from you. tweet us a picture of you or someone in your family with a

>> we continue to hold on to hope. we believe that they can still be rescued, no matter how badly turned out it may be by issue of the kind of trauma that they have been through. one of the first champions of bring back our girls. reminding the world that the boko haram terror group is still

holding the 200 plus nigerian school girls. a truce between boko haram and the nigerian government. one provision, releasing those girls. but the cease-fire may be unraveling, islamic militants clashed with soldiers this past weekend in the northeast of that country. a lot to sort out here and still a lot of unanswered questions. a fierce advocate for these girls, she is the former first lady of nigerian state and such a pleasure to have you here your excellenceancy. >> hi, ronan. thank you for inviting me. >> i want to get to the girls in just a moment, but some other good news out of nigeria on the health front. declaring nigeria free of the ebola virus. why do you think we're seeing this success story in nigeria but not in other countries like

sierra lionne. >> we had one index case that came into the country at a time when our medical workers, our doctors were actually on strike. this meant that the index case actually went to a private hospital, which happens to be a specialist hospital. run by a gentleman dr. harry, assisted by very, very good team that because they were in the private sector and they were a specialist hospital, they were very connected to what was happening in other parts of the world. so, they didn't have to have this very steep learning curve. they immediately put everybody in quarantine. immediately reached out and then, again, this case came where we just happened to have a biology lab teaching hospital. so, even though this very unfortunate man, mr. sawyer, came into the country, where we were not really preparing for ebola, we had a certain readiness in terms of infrastructure on the ground. then you take health

communications. the nigerian psyche we love education and we love information. and even -- >> your excellency, that is a perfect jumping off point to talk about the contrast that people are drawing. on that front, take a look at this from "the ant lantic" magazine in the u.s. nigeria was able to beat ebola, just as you were, but not boko haram in the same way. faced with the two enormous crises, how has nigeria handled one so well and the other so poorly. what is your reaction to that? >> i believe that the solution to both would probably lie in information. we had a lot of health information. the situation with boko haram and the girls remains very murky. we do not have very viable information. as a mother, i worry about the girls. we don't know where they are.

we hear rumors, we get our hopes up that they're going to be released. we hope that the talks are going to result in not just the release of the girls, but also readiness, preparation to rehab rehabilitate them and return them to their families and to heal whatever wounds they might bear. both physically and mentally. i do think that the lack of information about what is going on in parts of our country is what is stopping us from being able to tackle it the way we should be. >> your excellency, what can the world do to help? >> the world ask continue to give the local activists support. the world can continue to bring pressure upon the boko haram and the government, as well. that we really must not leave any stone unturned to return these girls. these girls are not a statistic. i keep trying to imagine how anybody could hide over 200

girls and we can't seem to trace them. if we can trace over 700 primary and secondary contacts that had been exposed to ebola, we should be able to trace our girls and bring them back home safely. >> her excellency, thank you for all your work to keep these girls on our radar. >> thank you. that wraps up today's "rf daily" live from philadelphia. don't forget to tweet me those questions for malala. we'll bring you news out of that interview, including on tomorrow's show. now it's time for the reid report. >> all right, ronan, thank you for keeping that story front and center. thanks. we are following breaking news on the release of an american who was detained in north korea. and missouri governor jay nixon announces plans for ferguson's future.
