Hit today. Plus, goodbye to a latenight icon. No. No. No. No. No. Youre not going anywhere david letterman. What are you gonna do . Newsroom starts now. Hello again, thanks for joining me im fredricka whitfield. This is cnn breaking news. This breaking news out of iraq. A Major Development in the war against isis. Another iraqi city has fallen now to isis. The city of ramadi. The mayer and a highranking security official the last Iraqi Security forces have pulled out from a key military base on the west side of that city. When asked about isis being in control of the city, a spokesperson for the governor of anbar says basically yes, but its a big city. There are still pockets of resistance. Ramadi ramadis mayor says isis militants had arrived by the hundreds. This morning they began debt top nating a series of car bombs, forcing the iraqi fighters to retreat. The Iraqi Federal police and iraqs Prime Minister both vowed to send in reenforcements now. Joining me now is the former navy s. E. A. L. Jonathan gilliam back with us also a former fbi special agent, former air marshal and former Police Officer and joining us from new york. And joining him via skype from orlando, florida, is cnn military analyst, Lieutenant General mark hertling. Hertling is also a retired army, former commanding general for europe and the seventh army. Good to see both of you. General, in your view how serious is this . I will give a different narrative, frederica. I know how the reportings come in from some of the provincial officials and city mayors, especially in anbar province. There is going to be a continued fight for ramadi. It is going to happen this week and it is going to be tough conditions but what we have seen in the past we have heard several times already, ramadi has fallen ram mad day has fallen and suddenly it is not news anymore. What you are seeing is isis attempting to control the city. They have done some things with suicide bombs and my sources tell me that there have been over 15 in the last two days car bombs, driven into the city to blast through walls and to take control of the city. They have gone in en masse. I dont know if 100 is the right number. But they have taken over buildings, raised the flag gotten the photo op and dispersed to the other area of the town where it is hard to be hit by Coalition Air force. You are going to see, i think, this week a continued fight for ramadi there is a lot of flailing around by the government Officials Saying it is fallen. I think you have got the prime mine officer of iraq sending reinforcements to the city that may contribute to this very difficult fight, but its not fallen yet. It is just in the middle of a fight, just like cobanny was a few months ago. So jonathan help us picture what is happening here. The general mentioned the black flag goes up as we have seen in other instances, where isis reportedly takes control. Does it mean that they commandeer the stores shall the banks . What does it mean for the People Living there, some 8,000 people in ramadi have already been displaced over a period of time. But what is their life like when isis claims to take control of a city . What do you envision . I fell you, as the general was saying i think there was an incredible analysis of their tactics of Going Forward and then coming back. Every time they move forward and they do this type of a mission, they really do demoralize the total mindset of the community in which they are going to. And i think if they are doing anything right, they are Going Forward, they are causing that disruption they go backwards into safe hiding and then they come back and eventually they are going to wear down unless we have reinforcements for those locals they are going to just demoralize them eventually. They dont have an a massive fighting force, at least isis doesnt. So i think that may actually be a tactic plus you know when they go and they show that they have moved forward, its a mind game going back and forth and using the forces that they can. I agree with the jeep you will probably see them go towards and backwards and this thing will eventually play out eventually. The Prime Minister says he is deploying shia militia to the city and the same time ramadi is in a location that is strategic, particularly for isis. There are roads that link it you know to jordan and syria what does this mean in terms of why isis would want to target ramadi . Yeah thats the very interesting point frederica and i will elaborate on that by saying thats deploying. The Prime Minister has said on our statewide tv thats going to start moving forward some of the militia fighters and that translates into some of the shia fighters. That is incredibly important in a sunnidominated area but they have asked for them. He has pushed forward three bat tall yin, additional battalions of Iraqi Security forces to reinforce the joint Operations Center in anbar province. Thats important, thats repositioning forces from baiji, other fights into ramadi to save this city. But i will go one bet we are what Jonathan Jonathan said a minute ago. One of the things tough watch out for when isis goes into the city they not only take over get the photo op, do the propaganda so all the media throughout the world is proclaiming another victory, what they do before they pull out and go into the suburbs, they plant ieds in some of these places so it makes much more difficult for the Iraqi Security forces to go in and clear. So you might go into the government building and find three or four ieds in the building to bobby trap and drop the ceilings of it. Thats what nation fight so incredibly difficult. It is not just its oneonone fighting with machine guns and rocketpropelled grenades it is also the bombs left behind in buildings there. Wither going to leave it right there thank you so much Lieutenant Colonel mark heart ling and jonathan gilliam. Appreciate it you got it fred. Yall track now scrambling to reopen its busy northeast corridor in time for the beginning of this busy workweek. The railroad was ordered to make some safety changes before it can put trains back on track following last weeks deadly crash in philadelphia. The focus on the investigation now also includes whether the train was hit by a projectile before it derailed. Erin mclaughlin joins us from philadelphia. The fbi is now involved in this investigation. To what degree are they making any discoveries . Reporter hi frederica. Well tomorrow we expect fbi forensic vote take a look at the trains windshield to assess whether or not it was, in fact hit by some sort of projectile. Meanwhile, we have spoken it a philadelphia native who showed us just how easy it was for someone to access the tracks. The mystery of amtrak 188 continues. At the center of the investigation, a fistsized marking on the windshield and the possible that shortly before it derailed the train was hit by an unknown object. Last week the assistant conductor of the doomed amtrak train told investigators that she heard engineer Brandon Bostian say into a radio transmission that the train had been struck by something. At this point, we really want to chase this lead down. Reporter transportation officials are also investigating reports that minutes before the crash, other trains in the area were also hit by projectiles. The windshield of a septa commuter train was shattered, as was the passenger window of an am track ce almost e train. I think we were definitely alarmed, never heard that loud of a sound on the train, we take the train pretty often between d. C. And new york it was definitely frightening. Reporter philadelphia native howard brown says these reports do not surprise him. He says the police rarely patrol this area and kids get into trouble on the tracks all the time. The junkies will go up here hoping they find like debris or refuse that they can sell in the scrap yard. The kids they go up here because they think this is fun. So the kids out on the track that night, throwing things at trains not unusual at all . No. No. No. Not unheard of. Not unusual. Not that its accepted but its actually believable that something of that nature could have happened. Reporter steps away from the crash site, brown shows us how easy it is to access the tracks. This is just how easy this is. Reporter a police car stops him but my point being my point being they are not here if that accident didnt happen. Reporter we have reached out to authorities for comment on police on the track and we have already seen new fencing go up in this area. Meanwhile, the ntsb says it has listened to all radio transmissions from trains in the area that night. So far, they say they have heard nothing from bostian to suggest that a projectile hit amtrak 188. Frederica . Thanks so much erin mclaughlin, appreciate that from philadelphia ya. Take a closer look now at the investigation and whats next. Joining me is mary schiavo, cnn transportation analyst and former director of the u. S. Department of transportation. Richard beale has more than 30 years of Railroad Operating experience and also a former train accident investigator in the insurance industry. Good to see both of you. All right. So amtrak has been told to beef up some of its safety requirements including speed limits on northbound trains through that area. So mary, to you first, explain what is being required and how would that happen now . Well in many ways whats being required is what has been required by legislation all along, and amtrak has been working on getting in place this system called positive train control. And they have committed to have it in place by the end of the year and they have it on many places on this corridor on this train corridor. They just didnt have it in place here not excusing it but amtrak of course says the deadline isnt upon us yet to put that in. They have committed to put that in as soon as possible. And that would have automatically slowed the train, i think would have prevented that accident. What it does is uses gps and other Computer Technology to sense what traffics on the track, what the trains speed is visavis the other traffic on the track, and give the train instructions to slow down basically. And so richard, seems to be a lot going on here they are to improve safety now, put some of the things in play, the investigation still continues. Theres a lot of forensic material that still has to be pored over in addition, a lot of pressure to get the train back on the tracks partially, we will see that tomorrow and supposedly amtrak will be full bore on the northeast corridor maybe as soon as tuesday. So can you have all of this simultaneously and still have a solid investigation and outcome . Yes, because they have already retrieved the Important Information and they are going over it in washington and probably as we speak. They probably have a pretty good idea what took place, except for the incidentals. Okay. And if we know that the engineer still cannot remember certain events that took place right prior to this crash, do you see, mary that theres going to be a reenactment a almost like a rebuilding of even the train and perhaps even the track similar to like you see in plane investigations where they piece together the plane in order to get more answers . Would that happen here . I think what they will probably use is computer modeling both in aircraft investigations trains bridge you know failure, multiple fatality traffic accidents, they use computer modelling to reconstruct and i think probably do that here. The up fortunate thing is the only the persons in the cab of that train will know what hit it not exactly what but when something hit that train, if they knew that something hit it and what happened because clearly, someone someone or some thing, rather distracted the engineer and the only person right now that can tell that because the ntsb has already told us its not on the black box case. They dont have that information from the black boxes. But you know i have worked many many accidents where over time sometimes, the memory, particularly these traumatic events the memory does come back or they will start to remember certain things. And hopefully, the engineer will recover some of that memory because he has the most crucial part at this point. Richard, you think of the locomotive and the space where the engineer was, do you see as a real possibility that perhaps if this projectile hit that windshield it may have knocked the engineer off his feet he may have hit something, perhaps even the throttle that would make this train go at an excessive speed and if that were the case what do they look for to find out who was at the control at the home of the train increasing its speed or what was in control . I think its a very real i think its a very real possibility, but dont forget i believe the throttle was absolutely you know, wide open probably even in run eight, trying to climb to track speed, trying to get up to 80 miles an hour and it may be a perfect storm here where he was just about to throttle back and get that speed up where it belonged when the incident took place. Now, if something was thrown and hit his windshield he doesnt know what it is. He doesnt know if he is being shot out. Its quite loud when it happens. I have had it happen numerous times and what your instinct is to flail or flinch or sometimes dive out of the watch with all the controls wrapped around you very close, its very plausible he could have hit his head you know sustained some sort of a just a lowscale injury kind of knocking senseless for a minute or two. And thats just enough where the alerters and all on the engine wouldnt pick up in time and he has to get himself back up and would explain why he finally put it into emergency, trying to reorient himself in the chaos. All right. Richard about eall mary schiavo, thanks to both of you. Thank you. We will be right back. Welcome. Mike fincham was diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer 2 years ago.

The officer is on trial for voluntary manslaughter after shooting and killing two unarmed people after this police chase. Prosecutors say the 31yearold officer, michael brie low, fired 15 shots at a man and woman inside the car. Cnns Martin Savidge has more on the case from cleveland. [ sirens ] reporter november 2012 when a couple in a car speeds away from an undercover cop, their engine backfires. It triggers a police radio report of shots fired and the chase is on. Investigators say the pursuit involves as many as 62 police cars speeds of 100 Miles Per Hour through the streets of cleveland. It ends in a hail of gunfire, killing two unarmed people. An investigation reveals a stunning 137 shots fired by 13 Police Officers. But only one, michael brie low, is on trial, charged with two counts of voluntary manslaughter. He is shooting repeatedly. He is shooting excessively and he is shooting to kill. Reporter prosecutors say the 31yearold former marine did what other cops didnt he reloaded and when the car police were chasing finally came to a halt brie low is said to have jumped on its hood and fired 15 shots directly through the windshield. The prosecution believes those are the shots that killed 43yearold Timothy Russell and 30yearold melissa williams. Brie low told investigators he thought he and his partner were in danger believing the couple in the car were shooting saying ive never been so afraid in my life. I thought my partner and i would be shot and that we were going to be killed. Brie low went on at which point, i drew my weapon and i shot through the windshield at the suspects.

Right now, American Forces are ining at the gating the wife of Abu Sayyaf Isis top money man killed by u. S. Special ops in a violent raid in syria. Delta forces retrieved laptops, cell phones and other vital materials which u. S. Officials tell cnn is providing them with reams of data as to how isis operates communicates and earns its money. And this after into, we are getting new details from the military on how it all went down. Here now is cnns Victor Blackwell. Reporter ground operation was led by the armys delta force who entered the target area on black hawk helicopters and a v22 tilt reporter osprey. After landing about two dozen commandos scrambled off the aircraft which then took off but hovered overhead. During a firefight, isis fighters defended the multistory building from inside and outside positions. But special forces were able to get close to the building and blow a hole in its side. They went in encountered isis fighters and there were more gunshots and reports of handtohand combat. The isis combatants apparently tried to use human shields but u. S. Troops managed to kill the fighters without hurting the women and children. Isis commander abu sayyaf was killed in the raid but delta force was able to capture and leave with his wife um sayyaf an unidentified yaz zeaddy woman they collected along with communication gear. Thanks to Victor Blackwell there. In washington most lawmakers are praising the mission authorized by president obama but some are asking if it was worth the risk. That may be because we still dont know a lot about this socalled isis money man who Officials Say was the target. We dont even know his own name abu sayyaf translates to father of the swordsman, an assumed name. I am joined with more on this. Lawmakers, some of them are kind of using their words very carefully. How are they couching their concerns about the risk versus the reward of the mission . Fred some on capitol hill are splashing a little bit of cold water on the significance of this mission when it comes to weighing the risks, and weighing that against the reward of this mission, ploengsly any intelligence learned from those materiels captured on the ground and how big abu sayyaf is within the isis community. Here is what the top democrat in the House Intelligence Committee said on state of the Union Earlier today. And of course, the materiels, both electronic and otherwise that have been seized could present a great value. I think when things go well, you dont often tend to question them as much, and i think before we see or embark on a lot more of these kinds of operations we have to weigh the risk of escalation. Reporter he has a lot of questions about this mission for the administration and this week the white house will be Briefing Congress on the details of the mission. Fred . And then one has to wonder whether this mission indicates any kind of shifting approach in the plan to fight isis. Reporter thats right. We have heard from a military officials after this mission was announced, how dangerous it was, how risky it was and some of the details, what went down in that overnight raid the happenedtohand combat, the bulletrind helicopter putting those u. S. Forces in that sort of risk is something that some have complimented the administration about. Heres what the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said earlier today. Many of us have been advocating this strategy a long time versus just air strikes, it takes guts for the administration and military to put an action like this together. It was successful we are happy that they got back and got back safely. Now, over the coming weeks, know what they were actually able to gather there. Reporter the idea of many more missions like this one, how risky this one is pretty unlikely fred i should say the Coalition Air strikes will continue. Fred . Sunlen serfaty, thank you from the white house. We will have much more from the newsroom after this. Of their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza.

Take a look at this map. So what you see in green means that there are high levels of rag weed pollen. What you see in red means high levels of ozone. And brown means relatively high levels of rag weed and ozone there are medicines to take when you are wheezing and sneezing and tips to give you, you can put the air on recirculate, keep the air cheap, keep your windows clothes, change clothes after being outdoors, wash your hair, your hair can become a collector of pollen and do strenuous Outdoor Activities in morning when ozone levels are lower. The National Resource Defense Council says there iss a good chance you live in one of the sneeziest, wheeziest areas. One in three americans live in areas with high pollen count and high ozone.

Tell me more about that conversation. It was an incredibly difficult conversation to have an emotional one with jim gains wife jacqueline. I interviewed her earlier today. You can see a picture of jim there with his daughter anushka. Jim, as you said was one of those that lost his life in the amtrak deraiment, a father of two children oliver 16 anushka, just 11. He worked at the Associated Press as a Video Software architect, on his way back from washington, d. C. On that amtrak train when it derailed. His family was hoping he would be one of those that survive bud that would not end up being the case. His wife jacqueline spoke to me a little earlier today about how she will remember her husband. He was my spiritual support. He was my he is definitely my soulmate. I know hes still here and you know i keep asking him to guide me and sorry. Comp pole. But i i silt and talk with him all the time and i can hear him guide me and. I dont know it. I dont know how im gonna deal with it i dont know. I feel his presence and not so much within me but i see it in others i just feel completely blessed and i thank god that he gave me time with him. Because he taught me and i think he will still teach me. So he left a good imp print on the world and thats good thing. Reporter he left a major imprint, not just on jacqueline but on his two children. And the community that he loved so much and loved him loved him right back. Theres been a lot of speculation about what caused this terrible crash, the family is not concerned about that now the family tells me that her major concern is rightfully so, on her children. His coworkers have put together a scholarship, frederica for him to try to financially help his children all of his coworkers from the Associated Press and right now, they are just focused on putting together a memorial for him.

An advocate for democracy who is being held in a venezuelan prison manages to get a letter out to the washington post. How did he do that and whats next . Comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. 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 musclerelated 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® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. With xfinity from comcast you can manage your account anytime, anywhere on any device.

She came and received it on his behalf she has been his voice out of this military prison in venezuela and likely that she brought that letter to the washington post. Lopez very direct about what he wants and asking for. 70 Political Prisoners the United Nations asked for their release and also denying what the government is claims that mad dura and others in the opposition are rightwing behind a rightwing conspiracy against his country and working for foreign powers.

Juan carlos is there a feeling there will will be change as a result of this letter or maybe repercussions . There was its interesting that just days ago, a top u. S.
