since mid april. also breaking this morning the white house has confirmed that horrifying execution video of journalist steven sotloff is authentic. it's being called a second message to america from the islamic terrorist group isis. in the grisly video 31-year-old american journalist steven sotloff is on his knees and next to him appears to be the same executioner of journalist james foley who was murdered two weeks ago. sotloff is the second american killed in retaliation for u.s. airstrikes on isis targets in iraq. president obama is now in europe meeting with allies to discuss a strategy for syria. although the obama administration has carried out more than 100 airstrikes against isis in iraq, there is growing criticism that weak foreign policy is contributing to the terror group's rise. however, moments ago president obama addressed the execution of sotloff from estonia saying the united states will not be intimidated.

>> whenever these murderers think they'll achieve by killing innocent americans like steven they have already failed. they failed because like people around the world americans are repulsed by their barbarism. we will not be intimidated. their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists. and those who make the mistake of harming americans will learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served. >> now isis is holding at least one british journalist and possibly two american workers. we will hear more from president obama at 6:30. i'm erin o'hearn live in the satellite center, channel 6 "action news." tam back to you. >> erin thank you will for those details. new this morning crews made quick work of a fire that spread through a children's center in east mount airy. the action cam was outside. no injuries were reported. it's unclear if the center
