petersburg for us is diplomatic editor nic robertson. so many grieving for their loved ones killed in the crash. are they reacting at all about the speculation of what may have brought the plane down? >> reporter: well, we are just had a reaction on that from president putin's spokesperson. he said very clearly now that there is no link to terrorism. he says there is unwarranted and unneeded and inappropriate speculation drawing any connection with russia's actions in syria and downing of this flight. it seems coming from the very top now they are trying to put an end to the notion this could be an act of terrorism. what he does go on to say this needs to be fully and properly investigated and everyone should hold back on the speculation until the investigation is complete. that is the message here. at the same time, the families are not far from the airport and visiting a morgue. 196 bodies now returned. another 52 of those arrived on a flight early this morning. it is a slow and very, very difficult process for the families to go and v

cnn's nick robertson has been digging on abaaoud and his background. let's go to clarissa ward first. obviously a huge victory for french intelligence for french police, who have clearly been wantingfÑ man who's also wanted in belgium as well. >> that's right. it certainly is a victory for french authorities and for french officials. and talking to people here on the ground there is a palpable sense of relief. certainly that raid yesterday went on for seven hours. there were grenades, gunfire, explosions. more than 5,000 bullets fired at the people who were inside that apartment. so there is definitely a sense of relief here. but at the same time it is really interesting. you talk to some residents. they say they don't believe he was killed. they say they don't believe the authorities anymore. and what you really get a sense of is that there is a breakdown of communication between authorities and between the residents of this neighborhood. there are many different types of people. many different religions and races living here anderson. but this is kn

nic robertson, cnn, london. >>> we have breaking news on another front in the battle of isis.ga forces are fighting to keep the iraqi city of sinjar from isis. they now say they entered the city from all directions and up to 7,500 troops reclaimed the territory. this is with the help of more than 200 air strikes by the u.s.-led coalition in iraq in the last month. commanders say they are going up against 600 isis fighters in sinjar. we have our senior international correspondent nick paton walsh live by phone. nick, you have been inside sinjar to see for yourself. >> reporter: remarkable devastation. let me explain how we got there. earlier today, large numbers of peshmerga arrived to make the move to the west as well. hundreds of them on foot moving in toward the city center. they moved in on isis positions and also at one point, this city has been riddled with explosive devices by isis. everywhere you look, there is some suggestion you could be near a mine of some sort. that has slowed the process of peshmerga. they do now appear to be closer toward the city center as there

nick robertson, cnn, st.ssia. >>> gunmen from al shabaab stormed a mogadishu hotel on sunday. at least 15 people, killed in the attack which began with a suicide car bombing. >> reporter: the attack began at dawn sunday when a suicide bomber drove a car into a hotel. gunmen followed killing. when first responders arrived to help, a second explosive device was triggered, injuring and killing more. among the dead, a former commander of the somali national army, the owner of the hotel, a freelance journalist and a well known member of parliament. somalia's u.s.-trained national intelligence agency special forces entered the hotel shortly after the attack began. between them and the african union forces, six al shabaab attackers were killed, another three died in the explosions. al shabaab were driven from mogadishu by african union forces but they're still able to launch bloody attacks within the city on almost a monthly basis. cnn in kenya. >>> in the united states, there's a revolt underway among the republica

>> reporter: robertson clearly had his suspicions. and steve's sister sharon did too. >> so you've felt all along that jim knapp should have been a suspect and wasn't. >> he should've been investigated. there were a lot of red flags that were concerning. >> reporter: knapp told sheriff's deputies he was no where near carol's house when the murder happened. he was at his ex-wife's place, miles away, babysitting his son. >> didn't they find out that the solid? >> no. actually it wasn't. they'd gotten a video and the son was watching it. he doesn't know where dad was. >> dad wasn't sitting beside him in the room? dad was not watching with him, so he doesn't know where dad was. and the son got bored watching this movie and i believe he went and got on his computer. so there's a period of time that we don't really know. but nobody saw him. >> reporter: so maybe knapp's solid alibi wasn't? and remember how he told everyone he had cancer? sharon, a doctor, discovered something about that. >> i've seen the medical records. >> and? >> he had a

robertson joined steve's defense team, and right away saw what he lieved was an elemental mistake by detectives. >> they put together their story, their version of events almost immediately. >> husband always does it, right? >> yeah, they focusesein on one person and they had a story, and that's what they worked on. they zeroed in on steve democker right from the very beginning. >> reporter: but robertson said dedectives should have t ten a much closer look at another man in carol' s life, jim knapp. the man who lived in the guest house and showed up at the crime scene within minutes of the officers. and, who was the first person to point the finger at steve. >> but the fact that law enforcement viewed him in a different way that they viewed steve democker, that they saw jim knapp as a friendly witness, and they see steve democker as a suspect, frames the way that they investigate. so anything having to do with jim knapp becomes excusable, explained, it's just not something you have to worry about because he's not our guy. >> reporter: and yet? look, for example, at these crime scene

. >> i want to go nic robertson. one of the attacked sites was the main stadium in paris where there was a friendly soccer match between france and germany. you heard the explosions ring out during the game. people were confused at the time by what was going. on the french president, francois hollande, he was there watching. he was evacuated at halftime. our nic robertson outside. what's the latest there? >> reporter: that was one of the things that isis has proclaimed in its claim of responsibility for this attack. it said that it attacked the soccer game because it was a match between two christian countries. was able to perpetrate under the nose of the french president. the question asked in the french media here is did francois hollande, the french president's presence here at this friendly soccer match with a crowd of an estimated 80,000 crammed inside the stadium behind me, did his presence help thwart the attack. was there additional security because he was there that stopped these suicide bombers. there were

nic robertson joins me now with the latest on that. so what are you learning about these recent arrests and is it helping investigators lead to any other suspicious characters? >> reporter: fredricka, potentially, it could be very valuable for french investigators. this is a man who's believed to have been behind sort of scoping out, scouting out the targets for the attacks last friday. what we know, from turkish authorities, is that they've arrested three men. one of them is ahmed dahmani, he's a belgian, 26 years old. the ring leader to this, an del hamd abboud was also belgian, of moroccan decent from molenbeek. so we don't know why, specifically, he -- or why, specifically, if you will, the turkish authorities knew to arrest him, but they arrested him when he was meeting at a hotel -- with two other men at a hotel in antalia in turkey. this is the town president obama was in last week for the big g-20 summit meeting. the two other men he was meeting with were suspected of belonging to isis and suspected of coming from syria. the as

let's turn to nic robertson.n making a statement on the drone strike. >> good morning. last night, the united states carried out an air strike in raqqah, syria, targeting jihadi john or his name is mohammed emwazi. we cannot verify this is successful, but let me be clear, i always said we would do everything to track down emwazi and stop him taking the lives of others. we have been working with the united states literally around the clock to track him down. this was a combined effort and contribution of both our countries was essential. emwazi is a barbaric murderer. he was shown in the videos of the beheading of the british aid workers. he was isil's lead executioner and let us never forget that he killed many, many muslims too. he was intent on murdering many more people. so this was an act of self defense. it was the right thing to do. today, i want to thank the united states, the united kingdom has no better friend or ally. i want to pay tribute to all those professionals in our own security and intelligence

rick robertson joins us. what is happening now in the building where the raid happened?anderson, in the last five minutes there is another controlled dead natitonation fr inside the building. they found ammunition, their own ammunition. they had a controlled detonation. down there on the left hand side, there are police officers going in and out of the building and ever so often, you see the officers in forensic suits coming in and out. we heard the prosecutor earlier saying that the bodies in there were hard to retrieve because the building was not structurally safe. there is a team of carpenters working in the building hauling in huge planks of wood to sure it up. the process of going through the building to recover whatever remains are in there, which are possibly going to help the police through dna evidence to identify whether abdelhamid abaqoud was killed or someone else that died inside that building. that process is still going on. police tell us this work right now could take up to 24 hours and as we heard with that controlled detonation, this is not particularl

nic robertson joins us now with that. today authorities really identified this guy. what have we learned about the raid itself and what it means for the large r manhunt? >> it took them 24 hours to identify him, identifying his remains that his body was impacted many times, not clear if it was just by bullets or his cousin exploding her suicide vest or whether he had explosives, as well. we know now he's connected to jihadists inside france. they will go after them. they say he played a decisive role in the attack last friday. they are also saying that he has been connected to four out of six failed terror plots here in france and that is since spring alone. this is a man authorities believe and are saying clearly had a significant role. what is surprising is they thought he was in syria yet here he is in france. >> incredible development and big surprise to french intelligence. the female suicide bomber believed to be the first suicide bomber in europe, what do we know about her? >> hasna aitboulahcen, they say until recently she wasn't radical and never opened the

our nic robertson joins me now in paris with the latest on that. nic?dricka, we remember after the attacks on september 11th in the united states, the reaction, the patriotic reaction of people. a lot of young men and women joined up to serve their country. france's president here has said the country is a war. i went to a recruiting station, a french army recruiting station. they're having a similar phenomenon here right now. at a french army recruitment center, young men are signing up. i wanted to join already, 19-year-old xavier sophie told me. it motivated me even more. recruiters are busier than ever. today, i've received three times the number of completed forms than i would normally have by this time friday, the recruiter tells me. the writing on the wall here, france's people need protection. the president says the country's at war. its citizens are listening. the number of people who have contacted us, the commanding officer of recruitment tells me, has gone up, dramatically, since last friday's attacks. officers here say this spike in recruit

nic robertson, france. >>> some frustration there. in paris have been very accepting of any requests that have been made of them as far as security services. >> you just wonder how long though the french people will be accepting of that. as we wait to see what happens between this meeting with hollande and cameron, you wonder what prime minister cameron will be able to walk away with a thumbs-up that air strikes will do the trick, do you think that's what he's aiming to get? >> i think certainly david cameron wants support from a key european ally in his efforts to get parp limit, uk parliament to sign up for air strikes in syria, uk still very much having the iraqi crisis in their minds in the way it wasn't probably thought the attack on iraq. that's the context from cameron's point of view. in terms of president hollande he has this round of diplomacy, he wants to be seen as the one who brings the coalition together against isis. he can reach some political common ground between russia and u.s. that will allow them to work together.

angus robertson: may i begin by associating the scottish national party with the condolences sent by the prime minister? having spoken to him last week, i am aware of how much of a personal loss this is to him, as of course it is to chris martin's family and friends. the fatal dangers of unintended consequences and escalation in syria are clear for everybody to see in these days. all serious observers agree that an air campaign alone will not lead to the ultimate defeat of daesh on the ground and that ground forces will be needed. how many troops, and from which countries, does the prime minister have in his plan for syria? pm cameron: first, i thank the right hon. gentleman for his remarks about chris martin, whom i know helped all parties in this house when they had inquiries. let me deal very directly with the syria issue and the question the right hon. gentleman asked, because this is so crucial. i am not for one minute arguing that action from the air alone can solve the very serious problem we have with isil. clearly, we need a political settlement in syria and a government in
