tonight, richard engle 1 here.the map he's in a place called orfa in turkey which is right on the syrian border. richard engle, i'm not asking you how you got there between yesterday afternoon and tonight because i think you're magic and i don't want you to ruin it. >>> but can you describe where you are and the relationship to where you are and the air strikes that started last night? >> reporter: well, 2 reasons we came here, and there's many places you can go to, is that this area in the last several days, there have been tens of thousands, up to 150,000 refugees flooding out of isis controlled areas and coming into turkey. so it is a place where this conflict is very much alive. it is the home base so it is the best we can do at this stage to assess what's going on inside syria by talking to sources who are still in the country by interviewing the refugees as they are coming in and out and monitoring the social media which is coming out already. and the impression that we've been able to get so far just in pict

let's head over to stephen engle in beijing with the latest. the numbersare telling us? >> well, they are telling us just what you said. the monthly numbers for august 's 7.5% that li keqiang growth target is in jeopardy. his options have narrowed. stimulate, or miss that target. is missing that bad? we will have more. weekend.ased over the fixed asset investment, retail sales, they also moderated, and we saw a second straight decline in imports and a 40% drop in the broadest measure of new credit, and that is aggregate financing. person thatm one the august activity was sharply lower than expected and that the government policy resolve is being tested. she expects an interest rate cut within the next one to two quarters, quite a long time friend, so possibly by the end of the year, but nothing eminent, she says, given the policy rhetoric of selected stimulus. at goldman sachs, one person said the likelihood of further monetary easing, such as interest rates, or reserve ratio now increased significantly, and that being said, they clearly do not want a repeat of the asset

we have stephen engle joining us with a latest. little comment but what do you think is going on the on the scenes? -- going on behind the scenes? >> i wish i knew what is happening behind those secret walls of the leadership compound in beijing. obviously they should be troubled by what they are seeing or hearing from hong kong. the question is, is it trying their patients? that is the dangerous question because it lead to -- could lead to the comparisons to what happened here in 1989. the hong kong chief executive has dismissed rumors that the government is planning to call in the people's liberation army. we might be getting ahead of ourselves. some have speculated that could be down the road. according to state media, the central government has said it is confident that hong kong's government can handle the movement lawfully. this is a term they use often. things must he done according to the law. whose law, that is up for interpretation. they are steadfast that they oppose illegal activities that could undermine the law and je

stephen engle joins us with more. what are you hearing? morning. this talk before. 2012 theaced in central bank governor was about in 2012, when the talk resurfaced, we had a new team coming in with a bold reform agenda. he was asked to stay on. to navigate the bank through the beginning of the process. joe has been a long advocate of reform. advocating freeing up controls over interest rates. he is 66, 67 in january. the leadership has mandates for sure. there is a slowing economy. authorities behind the scenes may be grappling with how best to follow through the -- with the pledges. the in mind they answer to government. joe has served his time. is the longest-serving governor at 11 years. in january.to be 67 we are getting the watercooler social network sites. we had a wall street journal story yesterday saying perhaps he is going to be asked to retire. >> what is the watercooler chat about who might replace him? if he is really going? >> that is an interesting one. six out of 13 economists surveyed pick the former head of the security regulator

what all right, stephen engle out of beijing -- >> all right, stephen engle out of beijing, thank youasia-pacificci index lowest weekly close in six weeks. we also saw the s&p 500 dropping ending the longest advance on wall street this year, and that means the new zealand dollar spot is also and the central bank left its benchmark interest rate level of, saying the currency was unjustified and unsustainable. that was last week. it is at 81 u.s. cents. and it is respect for the aged day. and discounts and low mortgage rates have lured back buyers in hong kong. and a record hit this year after a five-year low in 2013. we will be watching hsbc when trading kicks off in hong kong. that is after the lender agreed to pay $550 million to settle u.s. mortgage claims. now, hsbc along with some other sellings accused of faulty bonds before the mortgage crisis. the fine is much lower than those levied on goldman sachs and others, and maybe some competition from asia. htc is developing its first waterproof camera for extreme sports. its 12thh has forecast straight quarter of falling sales, is sea

commissioner marshal here, and last monday there was a follow up event that featured the captain, and down at engle side and there were probably 100 seniors that came out to express their concerns about the ongoing issues of violence, and particularly a woman who was shot in the face with a beebeegun and some of the more violent robberis that they have experienced and so there was a response from sfmta and the police department and the supervisor's office and to assure that there will be more was done in that area. >> so, just to close the loop on that, so a couple of the younger people that were responsible for two or three of them or more of the more serious ones were actually taken into custody and so a lot of this stuff sort of ebbed because it only takes one group to sort of cause a spike. so they have been arrested, and much like the time in 2011, that we have out in the bay view, and something good really came to that and that is the cyc the partnership and we do it in the day and it does get just it is a great mixing of the cultures, that are now together forever. because that is just how t

we will get the latest from jim miklaszewski and richard engle. homeland security mayor rudy giuliani joins me here on what we know about the new threat of i'm a doctor of internal medicine with something terrible to admit. i treated thousands of patients, risked their lives, while high on prescription drugs. i was an addict. i'm recovered now, but an estimated 500,000 medical professionals are still out there, abusing drugs or alcohol. police, airline pilots, bus drivers... they're randomly tested for drugs and alcohol... but not us doctors. you can change that: vote yes on proposition 46. your lives are in our hands. the khorazan group. >> how long can the american people expect air strikes to continue? >> what you saw today and last night were a disruption to isil forces. we are striking through the depths of formations because we are trying to disrupt their support bases and enable in iraq their security forces with the help of partners to dislodge and remove isil from iraq. i would think years. >> jim miklaszewski questioning lieutenant gener

richard engle joins me from turkey, not far from the syrian border. the syrian kurds are eager to get into the fight. >> they are very eager to get into the fight. right now i'm on a hill overlooking an ongoing battle between isis fighters and syrian kurds. the isis fighters are operating in the open. they have an open field and they are dressed in black and have been exchanging gunfire and we are watching the battle unfold and we have been talking to other kurds who have been watching the same thing and they are very frustrated because they say if the u.s. wants to carry out air strikes and wants to attack isis, there they are. they are operating not in a hidden way. they are easy to find. obvious the u.s. is carrying out air strikes, just not on a scale that the kurdish fighters would like to see. >> your reports last night and this morning, you were witnessing the kurdish observers and the civilians running across that valley and wanting to take on isis themselves without weapons. >> that's exactly what we have seen. the battles are taking place in

i want to bring in live now nbc foreign correspondent richard engle. >> this was something that we wereting. we thought this would happen, we didn't know exactly when. i thought perhaps at the end of the u.n. meeting. it sort of forces them to own up to it. they are now on the world stage. if thef an issue with this, they have a platform. they are in the world's media capital. they are speaking at the u.n. from the administration's point of view, the timing of this, you could debate, was too late in years. >> richard, in terms of what the u.s. is mounting here in terms of a military effort, the president and john kerry have been talking about this large coalition of 40 or 50 countries that the u.s. has pulled together in some way in opposing isis, do we know who, if anyone other than france, has agreed to be part of kinetic military actions? >> well, let's not guilty be fooled by that talk of coalitions. this is a u.s.-led effort. we're going to see help from partnering nationsment we're going to see covert help from turkey, france, we're going to see help from arab countries, we're goi

we find richard engle from istanbul. this has not been easy getting this coalition together. it's not clear what each member is going to do, but there seems to be growing concern that it has to be taken seriously after another beheading this time of a british citizen. >> i think andrea as this plays out, we will find out this was the easy part. it is very easy for countries to get together to say that they want to do something about isis and pledge support to make deals behind closed doors. we haven't seen any arab country plainly say we are taking part from our bases. they are going to have saudi and iraqi or egyptian pilots this this is the strategy. we hear mostly from diplomatic sources who are unnamed talking about how strong the partnership is. this i think is still going to be the easy part. the hard part is when you have to do the fighting and figure out who is going to take the ground and the role of iran and syria. if you look at the third countries you mentioned in paris, they are discussing the future of iraq and syria really. am isis spans both sides of the borde

i am joined from northern iraq by richard engle. there is question about the iraqi forces. the government is supposed to come together today. can that clear up the command and control that damaged. iraqi army? >> maybe. the government is still very much in formation just a short while ago. i was talking to a senior adviser involved in the negotiations and it's unclear who is in and out. maliki's role is unclear. we are hearing both that he could have a pivotal role and perhaps even a vice presidency or he will be out completely. it's viewed by many in curd stan and many across iraq as shameful as there were mass kerrs going on and a large portion of the country has been taken over by terrorists that they are spending months fighting over positions that have yet to put together a government. that paralysis has been incredibly harmful. i have seen the list of potential names that are going to come out. the new ministry and new portfolios and they are the same names we have seen cycling through and rotating through previous iraqi governments and it's hard to believe this new g

. >> nbc news chief correspondent richard engle is in iraq and september this report. >> reporter: ife president didn't have a strategy a couple of weeks ago, i'm not sure that he has a strategy right now. the only thing that was very clear about this speech is that he wants to launch some air strikes in syria and wants to find some targetes from isis and send in special operations forces and can drones to destroy them. everything else, what happens next was very vague. he talked about partners on the ground. there is no syrian opposition that he's going to work with. the iraqi army that he wants to work with in iraq has effectively collapsed and become a pro iranian force. there is only one relatively small malaysia that is pro american that is working with it is u.s. in iraq right now and that is the kurdish fighters where i am. so we heard this speech. he didn't make many concrete proposals, just that action will be taken and that this broad coalition exists. i'm not sure who the coalition is or exactly what they're going to be doing. >> so richard engle thinks no clear strategy st

stephen engle. what do we know about this? >> good morning. it is interesting i got an e-mail from an economist. she put out a note wondering whether the china central bank just blinked. obviously they don't want to add broad stimulus. they do need to offer i guess you could call it a kickstart to the sputtering economy here. .com will scene it of liquidityillion to the top five banks. them.f china being one of through standing lending facilities with a repayment tender of the few months. it is short term liquidity. they lend the big five state owned banks 100 billion yuan each. as one might expect, we had a jump in banking stocks. the hong kong market is up-to-date good time is when your interests rate fell as one year expect -- one interest rate fell as one would expect. the move is "like printing money." the immediate impact is similar to 50 basis point cut in the reserve ratio requirement of all the banks. it is much more targeted than a triple archive or an interest rate cut. move.s another i just one could say an unexpected move from the

chief of foreign correspondent richard engle. richard, what do we know about the actual strikes here. where they happened and what they're intended to do. this is a strategic shift. the united states wants to target isis which is syria. the u.s. has been targeting in iraq, but they had enormous safe havens and now they are going after isis in syria. this is not just going to be one target or we hear about 20 targets tonight. if you target the known isis position now, you watch and there drones for surveillance planes and satellite cover over syria right now. you watch how these targets scatter. you watch how the isis militants move from place to place and follow and there will be strikes throughout the morning and this is all projected. they announced they will build the coalition and they said which countries will be participating and it gave isis time to move assets and the key personnel into towns and villages out and that's the home base and you can't move the command and control centers. >> you can cover them on the street,

joining us is chief foreign correspondent richard engle. what sort of reaction are you hearing from the region to this latest execution? >> i think if you ask people what they think about the execution or isis, it's very easy to come up and say it is an abominati abomination. something needs to be done. we are hearing this phrase a lot. something needs to be done about isis. absolutely something needs to be done. it is a terrorist organization that is controlling a small state of its own in the heart of the mideast and the united states and other countries know what happens when you allow terrorists to have free reign in a sanctuary. the problem is how do you remove this group and when you start examining the issue, you get to the core of the problem. it's not just a terrorist organization, but the result of an unresolved sunni and shiite conflict. you have arab nations building a coalition with the united states to remove this organization, this terrorist group. you also have iran and shiite mi lit whys in iraq lining up in another camp to
