welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with a third night of american air strikes against isis in syria. warplanes from the united states and two hit oil facilities and this morning french fighter jets bombed targets in neighboring iraq. >> new video shows oil refineries. david martin is at the pentagon saying the newest air strikes were a success. good morning. >> good morning. this time they set out to hit isis in the wallet by destroying targets which helped fund its operations. strikes were carried out by the u.s. air force and by aircraft from the united arab emirates and saudi arabia. the targets were 12 small-scale oil refineries much like these in the eastern desert of syria. according to the pentagon, the refinery's produced between three to 500 barrels a day which isis used to power its own
7:04 am
vehicles and also sold on the black market, bringing in up to $2 million a day in revenues. arab jets hit seven of the refineries under american aircraft, the other five. a total of 18 aircraft carried out the strikes and all of them returned safely. along the way one of the jets spotted an isis vehicle and attacked it as well. the strikes were about half the size of monday night's attacks which concentrated on buildings which isis used to command and control its operations as well as training areas and supply depos. strikes on monday night also hit a separate terrorist organization known as khorasan, which was believed to be plotting attacks against europe and possibly the u.s. homeland. according to the pentagon, all of the 168 weapons launch in monday night's strikes hit their targets. the pentagon says initial indications are that all 12 of the oil refineries were knocked out of commission. but isis still has other sources

of revenue such as robbing banks and demanding ransom for kidnapping victims. charlie. >> thanks. today president obama meets with egypt's president to discuss the air strikes in syria. on wednesday he condemned isis and other organizations. he used some of the toughest language of his presidency. bill plante is with us in studio 57. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. that's for sure. the president may have seemed ambivalent about returning to combat in the middle east but he committed the u.s. in an all-in strategy against the terrorists. >> no god condones this terror. no grievance justifies these actions. >> it was a call to the world to respond to the successful advance of isis militants and the growing threat they represent. >> there can be no reasoning, negotiation with this brand of evil.
7:06 am
the only language understood by curls like this is the language of force. so the united states of america will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this. the president called out muslims who provide support for extremism and bolstered those who preach intolerant visions of islam. >> that means cutting off the funding that fuels the state. it's tienld to end hypocrisy who siphon funds to teach those who tear it down. >> the draft resolution has been adopted unanimously. >> where he oversaw the passage of a binding resolution to counter the threat of former terrorist fighters, prout cuting extremists, to stop them from traveling through their lands and take steps to stop their arming and financing but he acknowledged stronger steps
7:07 am
would be necessary. >> promises on paper cannot keep us safe. lofty res rick and good intentions will not stop a single terrorist attack. >> there was more. the president also bluntly criticized russia for its support of ukrainian separatists. this speech was intended to signal the kind of strong commitment to the u.s. leadership he was criticized for lacking for several months. later he'll identify the ebola attacks. >> that is going to be a very big deal. bill, thank you so much. you know, saudi arabia has said it has pushed for three years to get the u.s. involved in syria and it was a linchpin now helping carry out air strikes. while america's focus is squarely on taking out isis. the saudis hope they will be much part of a broader goal for forcing syrian president bashar out of power.
7:08 am
we talk abouted that with prime minister turki al faisal. >> you can't simply deal with isis. >> there were saudi planes involved? >> absolutely. >> muslims dropping bombs ominous lio on muslims? >> we don't consider them muslim. >> they say they're a muslim state. >> their actions belie their words. you don't simply create an islamic state by chopping people's heads off and enforcing your opinion on them. >> do you hope that the u.s. will go beyond air strikes? >> you mean sending ground troops? >> yes. >> i think if the need for it arises, i hope the president will change his mind.
7:09 am
>> would saudi arabia be willing to send in ground troops? >> look. we sent in our aircraft. i don't see any reason why we should. send in our ground troops. >> you saw what the iranians said, that this effort by your country and others was illegal in syria. >> what about his troops being on the ground killing syrians? you know, the irony and if you like the rather arrogant attitude that they give themselves the license to send troops to kill syrians, but then when we try to defend the syrian people, they say that is illegal. that's unacceptable. >> as you know, charlie, they're longtime rivals but the foreign ministers met this week here in new york and i'm told that iran's president rowhani who you spoke to could actually visit the kingdom soon, something prince turki said would be a
7:10 am
good step. >> this could be the beginning of a new era in their relationship. >> yeah. this is just the beginning of this campaign, indeed. in south carolina investigators are studying dramatic dash cam video that showed a white state police trooper shooting an unarmed black man during a routine traffic stop. the authorities say the shooting by trooper sean groubert was not. he was checking an alleged seat belt violation. >> your license, please. >> get out of the car. get out of the car. get on the ground. get on the ground. >> i just got my license. you asked for my license. i grabbed my license right here. right there. >> put your hands behind your back. put your hands behind your back. put your hands behind your back. put your hands behind your back. >> what did i do, sir?
7:11 am
>> are you hit? >> i think so. i can't feel my leg. i don't know what happened. >> why did you -- why did you shoot me? >> you dove head first back into your car. you jumped back out. >> i'm sorry. i didn't hear two words, sir. >> the victim le v.a. r jones was struck in the hip. he was charged yesterday with assault and battery. >> a big break in the case of the missing university of virginia student. police captured the man charged with kidnapping hundreds of miles where the last two were seen together. police are waiting for jesse matthew's return. wyatt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they arrested jesse matthew on a beach outside of galveston,

7:13 am
>> reporter: graham has been missing since september 13th. she had been drinking at two parties but headed downtown alone. she was in a bar where the two had been seen together. he's being held at the county jail. but family members describe him as a gentle man, a man volunteering with a local football police. his father says the police have everything wrong. >> the only thing i can see him maybe trying to give the girl a ride home or help her out. >> reporter: investigators from virginia will arrive in galveston today and ask the question on everyone's mind. >> we're asking every person within the sound of my voice to help us find hannah graham.if >> reporter: in court today in texas, the state-to-state extradition process will begin. this is typically a formality and matthew should return to virginia within two days.
7:14 am
charlie? >> wyatt, thanks. a nor'easter is sweeping up today the same system that brought flooding to much of the south and in cities like philadelphia and new york. >> in texas yesterday a mattress floated across a submerged street. meteorologist paul deanno of wkpx is tracking the weather. >> good morning. we have soaking rain on the coast. the first is moving up the eastern seaboard dropping a lot of rainfall in places like columbia, maryland, and thomas ru river, new jersey. the bigger story is the much needed california area needing rain. they've had extreme fire danger. rain is likely today at the site of the king fire. cooler temperatures stay through saturday. that's a big, big boost for all the firefighters trying to put
7:15 am
out the fire. then the system moves over the rocky mountains and saturday fargo, north dakota, will be warmer than fresno, california, and that is crazy for this time of year. charlie, back to you. >> paul, thanks. now to a dangerous game of cat and mouse, police think suspected cop killer eric frein might be taunting them by showing up in public. vladimir duthiers is in canadensis, pennsylvania. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. price made progress in the search for eric frein as they continue to ask for help and patience of the residents of this rural pennsylvania community. >> the law enforcement officers have reported as well as members of the public have reported sightings. >> reporter: pennsylvania state police say eric frein has purposely made himself visible to cops before falling back into the dense forest he's been using as cover for almost two weeks. it's the first time authorities acknowledge possible sightings
7:16 am
of frein. the last sightings says state police lieutenant colonel says they last saw him tuesday. >> they're giving police added confidence that they're closing in on their spukts. >> some of those items include serbian cigarettes and soiled diapers that we have found in the area among many other things. >> reporter: officials believe frein is using diapers to remain stationary for a long period of time. cops say other evidence like notes and journals show frein may have been planning this. one officer was killed another injured. he landed on the fbi's most wanted list and police have been authorized to use deadly force. with close to 1,000 scouring the woods police offered this piece of advice. >> before this get any worse,
7:17 am
before he gets hurt or worse, he needs to surrender, we're not going away and we will be here until we apprehend him. >> and as the residents continue to be here in support of the police, they're tying these blue ribbons across businesses in the community. they want the state troopers to know they stand behind them and they're grateful for their hard work. >> thank you so much. nascar champ tony stewart will not face charges in for his role in the death of another driver in upstate new york. grand jury says there's no reason to believe stewart committed a crime. don dahler is here with more details on what may have swayed the grand jury. good morning. >> good morning. they listened to testimony from all two dozen witnesses uncluding other drivers from the track that night. in the end they decided stewart should not be charged with manslaughter in the second degree or criminally negligent homicide. according to the district attorney. kevin ward jr. was under the
7:18 am
influence of marijuana at the time of the incident. >> the levels that were determined were enough to impair judgment. >> and what he did moments before he was fatally struck by tony stewart's car weighed heavily on the grand jury. >> the fact that kevin ward was observed running basically down two-thirds of the track into a hot track in the middle of other cars that were still racing played a big, big factor in their decision. >> the grand jury also viewed a second video shot by a race car camera. >> it did not demonstrate any aberrational driving. >> he didn't speak publicly until nearly three weeks after the august accident. >> this has been one of the toughest strategies i've ever had to deal with both professionally and personally and this is something that will definitely affect my life forever. he called the investigation
7:19 am
thorough and added kevin ward's family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers. ward's mother says she still blames stewart saying the three-time cham tried to intimidate her son. the focus should be on mr. stewart and not my son, she said. this matter is not at rest and we'll pursue all remedies in fairness to kevin. in the wake of the accident, nascar adopted rules saying unless there was a fire or other emergency a driver involved in a crash must remain inside his car until track or safety officials arriving. norah? >> all right, don. thank you so much. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" a college student dies while
