>> reporter: not necessarily chlorine gas but chlorine in the way that it's being used here.t's very easy to obtain and chlorine in and of itself is not on the list of prohibited chemical weapons. it's not considered in and of itself a chemical weapon. but, yes, it's been used before and it's something that isis certainly wouldn't hesitate to use in the syrian regime given its track record wouldn't hesitate either. and as the secretary said, it's not part of that list of much more dangerous, highly developed chemical weapons that have been used here in iraq and allegedly in syria as well. wolf? >> let's not forget in syria, 200,000 people have been killed in this civil war that's been going on. 200,000 people killed and many, many -- hundreds of thousands, maybe millions refugees in jordan, turkey and elsewhere in the region. ben wedeman reporting live from baghdad. >>> less than two weeks to go before the mid-determiterm elec. there is elizabeth warren. gloria borger spent some time with her. her report is coming up. ent because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescri

chlorine itself is not a chemical weapon.ed, it is banned from use on the battle feel because of its horrible effects and the it has a long brutal history in iraq. isis's precursor, al qaeda in iraq, used chlorine dozens of times including attacks on u.s. forces, sometime packing car bomb with chlorine. it has a limited effect on the battle field and can be a very potent psychological weapon for terrorizing a population and tonight we are learning the u.s. has been asked to investigate isis's possible use of chlorine gas in both iraq and syria. >> very, very worrisome situation. thank you very much. and there's other deeply disturbing information coming in. alleged isis fighters now prisoners, talking to cnn international correspondent ivan watson, telling him that should he fall into isis's hands, he would be tortured. possibly beheaded. that's what they will ivan. he is joining us live now from northern iraq. you're one of our very courageous journalists out there. what else did these militants tell you? >> it was a pretty

this new report is about chlorine gas, talk to me first about chlorine gas.hat's behind isis using chlorine bombs? >> we tend to think of chlorine has something to purify water. they probably took over a water treatment facility in baghdad and then used drums of it or tanks of it locally to see if they could use it as a weapon. now, it's not weaponized. in world war i chlorine was used because of the trench warfare. and once you get chlorine, which is heavier than air, it settles along the ground. so in iraq where the real danger is going to be is probably not with them using this as a routine way because it's too much trouble and it's kind of dangerous for the people using it as well -- >> because the gas can blow back to the bomb throwers themselves, right? >> exactly. it can double back on you, in which case you're going to be in trouble. but where it's really insidious is we're getting into winter now. temperatures are cooling off. and if you're up on the high ground and you unleash that out of those cylinders and that rolls, that heavier-than-air gas rol

>> if they use chlorine t means they would use other elements. it's whatever they have under their hands. where will they get those weapon systems? they could get them most likely from the reserves of the assad army. if anything, my assessment is possibly these elements have been stolen, have been taken from isis control of airports, isis control of military sites inside syria and brought them to iraq. >> so then how does that underscore to youu the timing i terms of response? mostly on the part of the u.s. to get something done in syria a while ago now. >> well, remember, we needed to actually have an action against the assad regime. we did not. we hope the that russians would solve the issue. but it's not about the syrian regime. it's about isis having already gotten those weapons. so this is going to most likely prompt an intelligence activity by our government and our coalition to strike those weapons if we know where they are. >> okay. hopefully we can hone in on that. let's talk about this "new york times" article chronicling the abuse isis

chlorine by itself is not considered a chemical weapon, but it can be poisonous and can be deliveredillery shell. earlier this year, the u.s. and other countries concluded syrian civilians were attacked by regime forces with chlorine and reports persist of other attacks. >> it's more of a defensive and psychological weapon than anything else. the effects of chemical to a soldier on the battlefield will cause them to do nothing but want to stop fighting and go for self-preservation. >> after almost three months of air strikes and 630 bombing runs over syria and iraq, optimism about the strategy working to degrade isis is tempered. >> the reality is that isil has controlled and still does control a significant amount of ground in iraq. >> u.s. military officials briefing reporters acknowledged it could be months before iraqi forces are ready to launch a major counteroffensive and years before they can finally take back full control of the country. >> in order to launch an effective offensive operation, soldiers have to have trust in their commanders. that's not existent in most of the

a reason they think it could have been chlorine is because isis has been accused of using chlorine gas in iraq. last month in a town, 11 iraqi police officers were injured. according to iraqi officials, they were injured when isis militants used a chlorine bomb. chlorine is not classified as a chemical weapon. it is an industrial chemical, the one used to purify your pool, drinking water. if it's attached to an explosive device and put particularly in a closed space, the gas can be caustic and potentially lethal. >> let's go to the white house. this is a topic you've had conversations there about, and this is the use of chemical weapons. we're talking about chlorine gas right now. the reports of that. how is the white house responding to this? >> reporter: white house echoin heard from the secretary. it would undermine the necessity to defeat isis. they're not preparing to confirm that chemical weapons were used. they're looking into the reports. i had a robust exchange with the white house press secretary and asked him how close the administration was to confirming the allegations, th

crews have been flushing the system with highly- pressurized, chlorinated water.which they say will kill the bacteria and any source of contamination. however, some residents are fed up. i think they need to pay all of the expenses that anybody had including taking off of working going to hospital i'm glad it's continuing but it makes it a little hard because i can do dishes or laundry or showers some families report becoming sick from the water system residents should use bottled or boiled water a racist rant by a san francisco tour guide. is causing outrage throughout the city. coming up a little bit later on the eve of game 3 of world series and we'll also talk about the shocks and hockey series and we'll also talk about the shocks and hockey (mom) when our little girl was born, we got a subaru. it's where she said her first word.

we used chlorine wipes to wipe down surfaces to protect ourselves. there were even roadblocks to prevent people coming in and outside of kenema city and kenema district, to make sure that people did not come in or leave with a fever. there are many, many ways that we were protecting ourselves. and for those who have considered going to help, those measures will continue. and you are there to help others, but you can't help others if you yourself become ill. >> this is a clip from a video of a sierra leone man that went viral last week about a man whose life was ripped apart by ebola. he lost his father, his two-year-old brother, and his stepmother who was six months pregnant and miscarried when sick in hospital. in a tearful plea, he called on the community to do more to stop the spread of the virus. i am thinking. come to our aid. we are afraid. let them come to our aid. anybody.have [indiscernible] man douda fullah of his family to ebola. can you talk about what you think the international community could be doing or should be doing in response to

the team sprays chlorine everywhere. they move back toward the village, stopping several times along the way; the body is just too heavy. devastated villagers are only given a glimpse of the shrouded body. then, a ruthlessly efficient burial. every piece of contaminated clothing thrown in with the corpse. but inside that clorinated body bag lies a man who was loved. he was just 22 years old. cremation remains the safest way to manage the bodies of ebola victims, but it is being met with strong resistance. for villagers, it goes against ancient burial traditions which involves touching and washing the dead. and that's why it's proving so hard to stop the outbreak of ebola in rural areas. debora patta, cbs news, johannesburg, south africa. >> miller: another high school football season is canceled after charges of locker room hazing. >> miller: a few weeks ago, we told you about a new jersey high school canceling its football season after allegations of hazing. now, another school in pennsylvania with similar allegations h

you can't spray them down with chlorine, can you? why did he have the proper equipment and they didn't? >> that's our question. >> so the government did betray the nurses. they did -- >> we have a system in this country now where there is absolutely no way to enforce that hospitals all act the same way and have the same standard. that's what we're asking for. that's why our petition is online. national nurses united, please sign the petition. ask for the proper equipment, the proper staffing so that we can properly protect patients. >> karen, i have a sister that's a nurse and a lawyer as you are. would you say there's some legal culpability here? i understand that amber joy vinson has retained an attorney. is there a culpability of the government that they didn't step up and help these nurses out? i would think so. >> i don't know about it being government. i think that as jean said i think there's some culpability on the issue as it relates to the private hospitals. but the problem here is that these two nurses -- >> wait a minute.
