From charleston, south carolina, cnn aviation analyst mary schiavo. Ted, i want to start with you. 265 Flights Canceled at ohare. I bet its really fun there this morning. And counting, carol. Also at midway, add that into the equation and its a complete mess. You can imagine the look on everybodys faces at ohare as they stand in the rebooking lines at all of the Different Airline terminals and all the airlines, of course, got hit by this. They didnt have the staff to handle this nightmare. Basically trying to rebook when you dont know when exactly flights will resume. The earliest, according to the faa, is 11 00 eastern, 10 00 central. Thats another hour here. Its just bidding and building and building. As for that center in aurora, illinois, where it started. This is a fire, there were two injuries. One of them was a selfinflicted injury, apparently from an employee. It sounds like an a potential Suicide Attempt inside this facility about 40 miles away from chicago, outside of chicago and this is where the problem exists. The faa is going to plan b, having other centers pick up the slack but thats taking time and wearing on peoples patience here at the airport. Thats a disturbing new developments. Lets go to mary schiavo. You heard what ted rollins said. You said last hour it took place in the bathroom in this air Traffic Control tower and now we hear ted Say Something about suicide . What do you know . Well, not much more than that. The first reports were that the fire emanated from a bathroom at the aurora center, which is not the not right at the airport. This is what controls traffic going back and forth over and in and out of chicago except at higher altitudes. So it wouldnt have been right on the airport property and the fire is supposedly emanating from the bathroom. At first they thought it was a bathroom vent. A fan in the bathroom but now apparently there are conflicting reports on what actually happened. But it did not emanate from the air Traffic Control equipment itself. I wasnt a computer fire, it wasnt a screen fire, et cetera, but its frustrating for the people so not only is this not something right on the airport, now its uncertain as to how soon they will be able to get out. For flights in the air, they arent allowed to take off unless they have a landing time at their destination. Thats an faa rule, flow control. So there wont be flights taking off unless they can land. So the folks most affected will be those right at ohare and midway or those already diverted. Do i still have ted rollins on the phone . Im here, carol. Ted, tell us more about this Suicide Attempt that you heard about . Well, apparently there were two injuries, one was a 50yearold male who suffered smoke inhalation, an employee that had nothing to do with potentially the cause. The other injury is also to a male and apparently this individuals injury is from a selfinflicted wound. Thats what were being told. We dont know what type of wound it is but a selfinflicted wound and while theres no confirmation of it, there seems to be speculation that this individual may have been the cause of the fire and thats what we know at this point. Were getting more information, but at this point theres an individual who suffered a selfinflicted wound inside the aurora facility. And that appears to be the cause of this fire. So, mary, the fbi is on the scene in aurora, illinois, at this faa facility. Is that standard operating proceedure . It is this this case. Certainly justified. But even if they didnt have these kinds of details yet the fbi comes into any information where theres anything suspicious, very standard procedure and if this is someone whos taken action, selfinflicted wounds, et cetera, the fbi has jurisdiction over the investigation. So it would be fbi first and they would be the primary agency to investigate and thats how it always works. They have these lines and roles down pat. Ill let you two get back to reporting. Thank you so much ted rollins and mary schiavo. Its a busy morning of developments in the war on isis. Right now british lawmakers are going toe to toe in a debate on whether to join the coalitions offensive. Theyll vote in a couple hours but if approved, british warplanes would limit their strikes only to isis targets in iraq, not syria. Britains Prime Minister says this is a matter of National Security. I believe, mr. Speaker, its also our duty to take part. This International Operation is about protecting our people, too and protecting the streets of britain should not be a task that we are prepared to entirely subcontract to other air forces of other countries. So it is right for us to act. Were going to hear more from listen don in just a few minutes. But first, day four from the air strikes, u. S. And arab allies hammer ten targets in iraq and syria. Our chief National Correspondent jim sciutto is at the pentagon. Im just wondering about something, jim. Britain wants to maybe participate in air strikes but only over iraq not in syria and that goes for most western nations. Why is that . Thats right. France same thing. Holland, belgium, the other countries that have been joining. Its basically because they dont believe theres a legal basis for the strikes in syria. Theyre more comfortable with the Legal Backing for strikes inside iraq. In iraq you have the government there requesting international help. Thats much more clear. In syria, you dont have that. In fact, you have the government there the government of assad, Bashar Al Assad, saying you need to ask our permission which the u. S. And the arab nations that are fighting alongside it did not. Now, as a practical effect on the ground, doesnt have much of an effect because the u. S. And its arab partners have enough firepower to handle the targets they have in syria. But it does get at how broad this coalition is. Some of the countries involved are making distinctions that the u. S. And arab partners are not. And what is the pentagon saying at this point about the effectiveness of the air strikes . Because we know in iraq there have been more than 200 air strikes. But theres no sense of any degrading of isis forces on the ground. You know, its a great question. I spoke to admiral john kirby yesterday and asked him this question and he said well, they have with partners in their iraqi forces on the ground taken back the mosul dam, thats a key piece of infrastructure. It threatened baghdad if isis decided to destroy it. Thats one victory, one piece of ground taken back the pentagon is claiming but when you look at the broader picture, isis controls about as much of that country as it did six weeks ago when the strike started and that gets at the weakness of air power. You can do something but you need Ground Forces that are capable of taking back and holding that ground and thats something we havent seen yet in iraq and certainly not in syria. And defense secretary chuck hagel is going to be speaking in this room early this afternoon. Thats one question ill press him on. Were going to be looking forward to that. Jim sciutto, many thanks to you. As coalition bombs continue to rain down on isis targets, the question of ground troop support in syria may have taken a major step forward. Drew griffin has more on an agreement syrian rebel commanders are calling historic. They gathered just across the border in turkey, at least 20 leaders of mostly moderate rebel groups, hammering out an agreement in writing, an alliance that brings minority christian, moderate muslim, kurds and others together for the first time in a unified front against isis and the Syrian Regime of bashar al assaassa assad. Translator all the factions are unified to fight the regime in isis. Reporter the deal facilitated by staff from the u. S. House Foreign Affairs committee, the Syrian Emergency Task force and finalized in a push by illinois congressman adam kin sing. Bashar al assad is not a protect other of christian authorities, hes a brutalizer. What you see today is this Christian Minority Group saying we want to have an alliance with the Free Syrian Army and its the beginning of hopefully a long process thats success to feel bringing the Syrian People freedom. Reporter congress has been skeptical about funding Syrian Rebels for fear aid could fall into the wrong hands, perhaps future terrorists. Kinzinger admits in the ever changing alliance, hes still not sure whom to trust. Are these guys worthy of our trust and money and guns . That. Thats a good question. We need to find out. I think this question has been answered. Reporter the spokesman for the National Spokesman for syria said brigades have been vetted, have received some aid and have been successful in striking back against isis and the assad regime. He complains the u. S. Still doesnt understand whats happening in syria. That you never get rid of isis until you get rid of the regime of Bashar Al Assad and the u. S. , he says, should get serious about arming and supporting rebels trying to do just that. At the end, its a question of why the limited support that these efsay brigades are receiving. Especially that they are vetted and trusted. We need to increase that flow. And getting that flow 12 months from now could be much too late . Those brigades might not be here and then i think the International Community will have a much larger crisis on its hands. Reporter several leaders told cnn the u. S. Led Coalition Air strikes against isis and other terrorist strongholds in syria are only half measures and in some cases actually hurting their cause. They say there has been no coordination of the strikes and in some cases bombs have come dangerously close to what the u. S. Should consider to be friendly forces. A strategy the rebel leaders believe so far has played right into the hands of Bashar Al Assad. Drew griffin, cnn, turkey. Congressman Adam Kinzinger may have faith with those rebels but plenty do not. Congressman peter welch among them. He was among 85 democrats who said no to funding the Syrian Rebels. Heres why. I do not believe that plan has any reasonable prospect of success. Its extremely difficult to have any confidence that well be able to find moderate rebels who will be vetted, trained, equipped and will go into that space and maintain loyalty to us as opposed to shifting their loyalties opportunistically. Congressman welch jouns me now from hanover, new hampshire, welcome, sir. Thank you. Thank you for being with us. Congressman, what do you make of sending those lawmakers to turkey to meet with syrian rebel commanders . Well, members of congress cant negotiate, obviously. Thats going to be the president. But id say two things. Number one, if the Syrian Rebels get together and reach an agreement to work together, thats a positive and constructive thing. By the way, thats much separate from the u. S. Trying to train a proxy army. And thats what i voted against because i am really skeptical of our ability to vet, to maintain their loyalty and who do they work for. So the syrians doing this, the various factions, thats a good thing. Congress trying to build an army, we have recent experience in iraq where we spend 35 billion training the iraqi army and at the first smell of gun powder they took off their uniforms and fled. So theres not a lot of basis and experience in history to be optimistic about our ability to have a proxy force, particularly in a syrian chaotic civil war. Lets talk about what happened within iraq today. There was a terrible incident where isis sent in military vehicles that they stole from the iraqi army inside those military vehicles they were packed with explosives. They went into the middle of this group of soldiers and at least 300 of them were killed. Now, according to colonel francona, these Iraqi Military men probably should have done some checks before allowing that convoy to come into their complex. Its just another example of how inept the iraqi army is. Do you have any hope that americans will be able to adequately train the iraqi army to effectively fight isis . Well, im a skeptic. The iraqis have to do this themselves. Our soldiers and our tax payers left iraq in pretty good shape and they had to make a choice as to whether they wanted a Civil Society or a civil war and they havent held it together in order to build that Civil Society. But i think the real question here, its chaos there. The real question for america is what is the National Security interest that we want to protect. And i think theres two things one is we want to deny terrorists wherever they are a safe haven and that can be done with counterterrorism activities as the president is doing. Second, we want to do our level best to make certain none of the jihadist cans come with passports to europe or to the United States. And thats a a Homeland Security challenge thats front and center on everybodys mind. But the idea that were going to be able to micromanage the outcomes in that chaotic region, libya, egypt, in these two countries, iraq and syria, were not going to be able to micromanage that. We can be constructive and helpful when there is promising Political Developments and perhaps the judicious use of military power but the bottom line here is our interest, denying safe havens and denying access to our homeland. Let me ask you this and going back to the iraqi army. Americans are trying to help them become trained to effectively fight isis but they need commanders. They need someone to lead them and they dont have that in the iraqi army right now because all those people are a laugh, they split, they joined the other side. So colonel francona among others believe there will be a need for american boots on the ground, as in commanders, to lead these ericky forces to make this effective fighting machine. Well, thats a dead end approach and ill tell you why. Theres two reasons. They need commanders. The reason they dont have them is maliki replaced competent sunni commanders with his cronies so he doubled down in the sectarian division. But the second reason is that while american commanders know how to command and do a great job, the American People are not going to support the introduction of more Ground Forces in that region of the world and its not just a question of being warweary. Its a question of the American People coming to a sensible conclusion that the place is a mess and that the people there have to accept some responsibility for their own security future. So it wont work and it wont have the support that the American People would have to provide in order for the u. S. To sustain any ground operation in that region. When you come right down to it, congressman i hear what youre saying about them being responsible for their own safety, but our safety is at risk, too, because of them. We need them to get it together so we can be safe and thats the biggest concern. Well, thats exactly right. But lets define what it is we can realistically do. One, i think we can deny them safe havens. We dont want another taliban situation that we had in afghanistan. But that can be through judicious strikes and counterterrorism activities. Second, weve got to protect the homeland. Then third we can play a constructive role with our allies and the president has been doing a good job building this coalition where we facilitate Political Developments on the ground that are ultimately essential. Iraq is the key right now because they have a moment where if they can diminish the sunni shia sectarian divide, bring the sunnis into the government has general petraeus did during the surge, the sunnis had a future, thats how they saw it and they turned on al qaeda and successfully ran them out of anbar province. Thats essentially what we need the sunnis to be doing, seeing that they have a stake in the future to turn against isil. So we can play a role. But the primary responsibility for the Civil Society and the future of those countries has to come from those people. Congressman welch, thank you so much for your insight. I appreciate it. Thank you. Still to come in the newsroom, high stakes and hot tempers as americas closest allies debates whether to join the u. S. Led strikes on isis. With a vote just a couple hours away, well listen in on some of the heated arguments. [ brian ] in a race, its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Its important to know the difference. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. And that i had to take action. So he talked to me about xarelto®. [ male announcer ] xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. [ brian ] for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. You made great time. I found another way. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

We have news this morning of another country joining the u. S. Led coalition against isis. Denmark has pledged sending seven f16 fighter jets to strike isis target bus only in iraq, not in syria. The countrys Parliament Still needs to approve this. In london, british lawmakers are due to vote in an Emergency Action in just a couple of hours. If they agree to join the u. S. Led coalition, their air strikes would be limit to iraq, too, not syria. Lawmakers are worried about the crisis deepening with or without britains involvement. Does he accept that without the iraqi army being able to take and hold ground there is a real risk that air strikes alone will not just prove in effective but could become counterproductive, especially civilian casualties mount and especially if isil actually uses the fact that theyve withstood the might of the west and still held its ground spins that story which it has so far managed to do . Well, i would disagree with my honorable friend on this basis that the air action already taken place and to a degree by the french has already made a difference. Lives have been saved, christians, yazidi and other minorities who would otherwise have been butcher has been saved by that action. Quite rightly im not prepared to put our own combat troops on the ground. We should be working with the iraqis, working with the kurds so they become more effective but we cant wait for that and allow minorities and others to be butchered and for the risk to our own country to increase without taking action. Let me make progress on why i believe military action is necessary before taking further interventions. Frankly, without it, i dont believe there is a realistic process of degrading and defeating isil and we should be frank, there already is a military conflict taking place. Isil have taken territory, theyre butchering people in iraq. Iraqi, including Kurdish Security forces, are already fighting isil. We have to decide if were going to support them and that i believe we should. Just like the United States, british lawmakers are worried about this war escalating to the point of requiring ground troops. We listened to some of that debate minutes ago. Heres more. If theres a consensus in here that were going to soon be bombing syria, the words dont mention boots on the ground but theres a consensus here that there will be boots on the ground. The only question being whose boots are they . The iraqi army is the most expensively trained and the most modernly equipped army in history. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been expended on the iraqi army which ran away leaving its equipment behind it. Isil itself is an imaginary army. A former defense secretary, no less, said we must bomb their bases. They dont have any bases. The territory they control is the size of britain and yet theres only between 10,000 and 20,000 of them. Do the maths. We are ever so grateful for the lecture, but what is his solution to the problem . Well, now ive gotten a extra minute thanks to you ill be able to tell you. This will not be solved. Every matter will be made worse. Extremism will fred further and deeper around the world just like happened as a result of the last iraq war. The people outside can see it but the fools in here who draw a big salary and big expenses cannot or will not see it like the honorable lady with her asinine intervention. Well, the measure would authorize only air strikes in iraq. Britains foreign secretary says the possible of future expansion into syria has not yet been ruled out. The vote in the British Parliament expected to take place around 12 30 eastern time. Well be right back. Keeping a billion customers a year flying, means keeping seven billion transactions flowing.

That was the u. S. Attorney general eric holder speaking before the Congressional Black Caucus about ferguson, missouri, where tensions again flared last night despite the videotaped afrolg the police chief of ferguson, tom jackson. As you know, u. S. Attorney holder also resigned yesterday but hell remain in office until a successor is named. I want to head out to ferguson right now and check in with annika to talk about the tension in ferguson as the police chief tried to apologize to the community. It didnt go so well, ay thanna its quiet outside the Police Department this morning but the unrest went well into the Early Morning hours. The police chief hoped his apology would be the start of a new dialogue and open up a conversation but when he came out to talk with them last night, things didnt go as planned. What are we going to do to get justice because you see the whole ferguson is up in an uproar. The whole city . An uproar. Reporter it was a tense standoff overnight. Chief has to resign. Do we have a lynch mob . Reporter protesters taking to the streets again in ferguson. This time chanting outside the police station. Police chief tom jackson coming out to address the crowds question. What are yall going to do to address us . We are a target. Do i have to die to make sure another brother dont go. Ill make sure i will right now. What do you want many toe do. What do you mean . Im asking you a serious question. The protest ultimately turning more chaotic. Multiple protesters were arrested. Ive been out here every night. Shes not a problem. Were trying to get unity and this is what yall do . All this just hours after the chief gave this apology. I want to say to any Peaceful Protesters who did not feel i did enough to protect their constitutional right to protest, im sorry for that. In hopes of calming the community. I want to say this to the brown family. No one who has not experienced the loss of a child can understand what youre fooling. Im truly sorry for the loss of your son. Im also sorry that it took so long to remove michael from the street. Its the first time embattled chief jackson has publicly said im sorry in the nearly seven weeks since unarmed teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson Police officer darren wilson. You issued an apology video. I did. Why did it take so long for that to happen. Theres been so much going on and everyday theres been a different challenge ever since august 9. But this is something thats just been weighing on me. Something that needed to be said, it should have been said a long time ago. Its never been the intention of the Ferguson Police department or any Police Department that i know of to intentionally target individuals because of race. If there is that happening, its a crime and it needs to be addressed. Reporter jackson hoped thursdays apology would lead to a fresh beginning. I know there are residents who are worried. Are you worried . Im not worried. I think we can manage this and i think we can come out much better than we started. Reporter but as last nights protests showed, this community has a long way to go toward healing. We had been told there was going to be an apology tour today where the police chief planned to go out and go to the public and say sorry but we have learned that plan has been changed. We dont know exactly why but obviously what happened last night is a good indication of why as the city now figures out what to do to move forward. Carol . I think we know exactly why that wont be going down tonight. Ana cabrera reporting live from ferguson, missouri. You know there are delays out of chicagos ohare and midway. Look at the lines.

Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Flights to and from chicagos ohare have been stopped after a fire in a nearby Traffic Control center in aurora, illinois. Employees have been evacuated since about 6 00 a. M. Central time. According to the web site flightaware, more than 300 flights from midway and ohare have been canceled so far and flights arent expected to resume until at least 11 00 a. M. Eastern time. One person believed to be an employee is suffering from cuts to the wrist but ted rollins has new information on what exactly happened at this air Traffic Control center that the faa runs. Well talk about airport delays but, ted, lets start with you. What happened at this air Traffic Control facility . Well, carol, it appears as though this was a Suicide Attempt by an employee at this facility and there is speculation, obviously, that this employee also said the fire or fires inside this control facility which has, take a look behind me, absolutely disrupted air traffic here in chicago at both ohare and midway and across the country because, obviously, with all these planes here stuck it is impacting nationwide air travel at this moment. And at this time there is no clear indication of when the plan b kicks in and what i mean by that is that when the responsibilities that normally are held with this aurora facility can be diverted the other facilities in indianapolis, kansas city, minneapolis, that is a process that is ongoing right now but theres no clear indication of when flights will start resuming here. But the new information is this appears to be a Suicide Attempt. The individual is still alive, an employee at this air Traffic Control facility in aurora, illinois, about 40 miles outside of chicago and theyre investigating the fbi and the atf are investigate whether or not this individual is responsible for the fire. Sadly, supposedly the employee and we dont know whether this employee was an air Traffic Controller or airline official went into the bathroom, slit one wrist and wet fire to the bathroom. Is that essentially what happened, ted . Thats what investigators are saying happened at this point. A source tells cnns evan perez that thats the scenario. The fbi and the atf are investigating. The man is still alive, this is an employee so they are interviewing this individual presumably and well get more information in terms of his motivation as this Investigation Continues but the results of his action this is morning you can see behind me literally thousands of people, this entire terminal here at ohare is completely packed with people with nowhere to go. Weve seen people crying literally in line. I talked to one person who is missing her best friends wedding tonight and you can just imagine what these people are going through trying to start their weekend. Weve all been there, unfortunately. Lets head to Indra Peterson to talk about air traffic delays and when things might ease. This is a tough day because you can look at the satellite, you know its supposed to be clear, not a problem today. Unfortunately we know how many flights continue to be canceled here. These numbers keep climbing. Were looking at about 300 if not more departing that have been completely canceled out of ohare. Also looking at 208 flights trying to come in, canceled. You have midway as well, same thing. The numbers seem to be climbing by the minute. We know what a huge hub this is. The effects will be devastating. You can see the region theyre responsible forring so ing sfo. These are the regions that will be affected. This is the concern, very easy to see once you look at flightaware how many flights are a big hole. The big gaping gap were seeing in the middle. This is bound to get worse until they get ahold of this situation, carol. Im on flightaware and i think latest figures are 700 Flights Canceled at ohare and 150 at midway. It will be an ugly day all over the country. No matter where youre flying today. Indra peterson, thanks so much. Still to come, knew attorney general eric hold has announced hes stepping down, speculation is ramping up, what will replace him and can that nominee ever hope to be confirmed . Well talk about that next. But ive managed. E Crohns Disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. There it is. This is where i met your grandpa.

Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. Moments ago, iraqs president spoke before the united nationss council on foreign relations. I want to bring in cnns poppy harlow. She joins us live from the u. N.

He talked about isis and the threat of isis but specifically he was asked here by the press about that comment yesterday from his Prime Minister, Prime Minister abadi of iraq to a group of journalists yesterday saying that there was, indeed, a plot against subway systems in paris and in the United States and if he knew anything whatsoever about that since so many u. S. Officials swatted that down immediately after those comments saying that was not the case. What he said and were trying to turn the sound around so you can hear for yourself but until that what he said was he does not have any information about this. He has not yet been able to speak to the people about this. He said he tried but the Prime Minister is on a plane to baghdad and he said all i know is what you know which is what in the newspapers. We were spreadty surprised to hear that. I followed up with a question to him saying are you concerned at all this was said to the press before it was said to any u. S. Government officials . Also are you concerned about what that might do to u. S. iraqi relations considering how closely the countries are working to fight isis . And he didnt directly answer my question but he did talk about the importance of strong u. S. iraqi relations. He said we need to u. S. Military advisors on the ground there and we are eager to have the help of the United States. That relationship is strong he said and will continue to be. The issue here is that Prime Minister abadi yesterday said these very concerning comments to the Associated Press then later in the day had a meeting with u. S. Officials. U. S. Officials came out yesterday on the situation room and told our Brianna Keeler no, he was actually speaking in general terms, there is no attack planned on the United States. And theres a lot of confusion between those two statements and which one it really is, carol. I would have to agree with that. Poppy harlow, many thanks to you. I appreciate it. Well be right back.

Friskies grillers. Not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. To severe chronic plaque psoriasis. So i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance on humira. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Set a new goal today. Ask your dermatologist about humira. Because with humira clearer skin is possible. Its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. A warning to 2 teams in the nba. The leagues best player says hes quicker now. Lebron james is talking about losing weight and revealing what might have kept him in miami. Rachel nichols host of cnns unguarded has the interview with lebron since he signed with the cavaliers. Its great. He lost about 20 pounds by giving up pretty much everything cookies, sugar, dairy. He said at some point he was being chased by cookie monster in his dreams because he was so desperate for any kind of chocolate. But we talked about more serious issues. We talked about the racism scandaled that have rocked the nba and he also talked about ferguson. Thats been on his mind. Take a listen. Weve had the incidents in ferguson, missouri, in the past few months. Aside from the specifics of the situation, it sparked this National Conversation on the way america sees young black men. What do you think about where we are right now . Well, i definitely voiced my opinion on the Trayvon Martin piece and i related to the ferguson incident. Stwrog boys of my own, just one day my kids left home to go anywhere, you expect your kids to return home unless theyre off to college. He gets into a lot of serious issues in this interviewing, parenting, the Domestic Violence crisis in the fefl and talks about his own absentee father which hes rarely discussed. It should a great interview. And its important because people listen to lebron james. Thats a good thing. Rachel nichols, many things. We have breaking news oh, you can watch unguarded w Rachel Nichols 10 30 p. M. Eastern time. As i said, we have breaking news. I was confuse butd well go to the border between iraq and syria right now. Phil black is there. Amazingly enough, isis fighters are fighting over the hill there, phil . Where are they . Let me set the scene here, carol. I am just north of the Syrian Border in turkey. You can see im surrounded by a crowd of people watching the events across the border in syria. Well zoom to a ridge line in the near distance and you should be able to see in just a few moments if not already some men at the top of that ridge line. Those men, were pretty sure, are isis fighters. What you are watching now live is isis fighters in action. Now, the reason why they are here in this region of Northern Syria right near the turkish boarder is because for the better part of a week they have been mounting an offensive to try and move through this territory which is mostly ethnically kurdish. It has sparked an enormous wave of refugees, some hundreds of thousands moving across the border into turkey seeking shelter because fighters like those who you are watching live now have been moving towards this region from the east where we are, from the south and from the west to the main town in this region. This region for the first time is coming under threat from isis fighters like those that you are seeing right now. And this is interesting because what it means is that in other parts of syria, in iraq where isis is recoiling from Coalition Air strikes here they are on the move. They are on the offensive, advancing and not being interfered with by that u. S. Led air power coalition. It has not struck here so far. So what youre seeing are those isis fighters there on the ridge. They have been battling with their opposing local Kurdish Forces on an opposite ridge and those Kurdish Forces have driven them back up that hill. The isis fighters have moved down the hill earlier, incoming fire forced them to seek shelter further back up that ridge there. Its quite an extraordinary sight to see that in action even at this distance. It is, as i say, on the way to a major town which has trigger had had refugee influx into turkey. If these fighters make progress here, if they get past this high ground then its a flat run and the humanitarian crisis were seeing on the ground with these hundreds of thousands of refugees seeking shelter in turkey could potentially get worse indeed. We know how dangerous it is for journalists in that part of the world so promise me youll be careful. Of course. Phil black reporting live with amazing pictures morning.
