At least protest organizers are promising that. Yesterdays protests went for hours and hours through the heart of downtown streets and neighborhoods. It started at the noon hour and that was just after mayor rahm emanuel delivered the speech in which he apologized and he said there would be significant change. It was well received inside council chambers, but not on the streets by the protesters. They say they are beyond the point of seeing some kind of thing or hollow words. They want the mayor to resign. This has gone from a confidence crisis to the Police Department to a political crisis for the mayor. On the streets, we have seen several hundred protesters, not necessarily working cooperation with the Police Department, but clearly there was coordination going on. It was peaceful. It was loud. You could see that this group was constantly on the move. They would stop at a certain intersection and move on once more as did the police, which were almost out in equal numbers. They would jump ahead and close down intersections and make sure everything remained safe. There were some arrests, but by the end of the day, they were released. Thank you, martin.

An additional 35 people were wounded in the taliban siege. Isis is not contained. That is an assessment from defense secretary ash carter. Testifying on capitol hill wednesday. Just last month, president obama declared isis was contained. Carter urging u. S. Allys to ramp up the efforts. Telling lawmakers were at war. The u. S. Is going to help the Iraqi Military by providing them with equipment. The United States is prepared to assist the iraqi army with additional abilities to help them finish the job. Including attack helicopters and accompanying advisers if circumstances dictate and requested by Prime Minister abadi. Lets get more from barbara starr. Reporter alison, in some testimony, ash carter acknowledged that isis is not contained. A contrast to what president obama said a few weeks ago. In the hearing, carter made the point before the Senate Armed Services committee he was asking arab nations and european nations to contribute more to the war against isis. He pointed out a couple of new things that the u. S. Is doing. One, the u. S. Has asked the iraqis if they would like some help in retaking the city of ramadi. The u. S. Now offering apache helicopters and advisers on the ground. That will put u. S. Personnel much closer, if you will, to the combat to retake ramadi. Many senators making the direct point they think there should be a good deal of focus on trying to get to raqqah. Isis self declared capital inside syria. Their view is raqqah is a recruiting propaganda point for isis. As long as they control that city, they are able to draw fighters from around the world. Raqqah is under assault from russian aircraft, russian missiles, russian bombs. The u. S. Has pointed out that the russians are making another move, moving many of the air defense radars to western syria. Essentially making that a nofly area for u. S. Aircraft unless they coordinate with the russians ahead of time. The battle field is more complicated and one more thing. We now know a small number of u. S. Special forces were in Northern Syria in the last few days. They have now left. They were there scouting locations from which they can conduct future operations. Christine, alison.
