Around the world and in the United States. This is breaking news on cnn. Im rosemary church. And im errol barnett. The other story were following for you out of the middle east, the ceasefire between israel and hamas expires right now at this moment. The Israel Military says it was broken hours ago as two rockets hit southern israel. A live look at gaza city and connect with our teams in cairo, jerusalem and gaza city here in the next few minutes. The 72humanitarian ceasefire between israel and hamas has just ended. Now we wait, of course, and see if the two sides can agree on any sort of extension and if the fighting will resume thats the big question. Lets take you back to those live pictures from gaza city and as far as we can tell by just looking through this Vantage Point its been quite quiet so far but, of course, this picture is quite deceiving. Youve got to keep in mind that during this campaign, more than 1800 people were killed just in gaza. Almost 10,000 wounded. The vast majority of them civilians, hundreds of children, of course, killed, as well. U. N. Shelters were hit multiple times during this campaign so theres a lot of skepticism among palestinians there and other residents of gaza that peace this short amount of peace will continue even though the Israel Military claims that hamas broke the ceasefire and hamas kind of distancing themselves from that claim, as well but we are eager to see this continue. Both sides really so that a space can be created for a more longlasting peace plan if of some form. Matthew chance is in jerusalem and john vause is in gaza. Were going to connect with them and see what is happening on both sides in just a minute. First, this, u. S. President barack obama has authorized targeted air strikes, he says, in Northern Iraq. Mr. Obama says the air strikes will be launched only if necessary to protect american personnel and to help iraqi forces battling isis militants on the ground there. So far there are no indications that any air strikes have been carried out at this point at least. Were waiting to hear still. Mr. Obamas announcement came as the u. S. Conducts an Airlift Mission to drop humanitarian aid to tens of thousands of refugees in Northern Iraq. That air drop is to help minority groups facing possible starvation, thousands of gallons of water and mres, these military ready to eat meals are being dropped, as well. Theyre also aiming to avoid slaughter by the sunni muslim extremists. Ive said before the United States cannot and should not intervene every time there is a crisis in the world. So let me be clear why we must act and act now. When we face a situation like we do on that mountain with innocent people facing the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have a mandate to help, in this case a request from the iraqi government, and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre, then i believe the United States of america cannot turn a blind eye. We can act carefully and responsibly to prevent a potential act of genocide. Thats what were doing on that mountain. Now, it was just last weekend when isis militants stormed the iraqi town of sinjar forcing members of the ancient yazidi religion to flee to the mountains. And others are seeking refuge in the nearby city of irbil. People just going where they can and there arent many options, the u. N. Says 180,000 people have arrived in the past few days. Youre watching cnns Global Resources at work for you. Ivan watson is there. Reporter they flee anywhere they can. Packed in trucks and cars, some of them moving on foot carrying their babies cradles over their shoulders. Seeking sanctuary. Were parade of the Islamic State. They say theyre muslims but dont act like muslims. They attack everyone, muslim, christians, even our prophets graves arent safe. Her family has been hurt by the militants. My brother was a simple man who had a Grocery Store selling vegetables, she says. Two months ago they came to his shop and killed him with three bullets. The exodus to irbil sparked by an offensive by the militants who captured towns from the kurds located only 35 miles away from irbil. The United Nations says some 200,000 civilians are on the run. So where will all these people go . This is where the first wave of fleeing civilians is coming to. Unfinished buildings part of the construction boom that iraqs kurdistan region has been enjoying. Now serving as a temporary shelter for hundreds, thousands of families that really dont have a plan of where to go. Look at this little child here 6monthold katham is far too young to know whats happening her. His mother noor said she fled after what appeared to be iraqi air strikes damaged her home. They showed up with little more than the clothes on their backs. Do you guys have no water, no food. No water, no food. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing, anything. Reporter around sunset some kurds arrived distributing some food and water for these desperate people. This help appreciated but also ad hoc. This new wave of Homeless People will clearly need much, much more in the days ahead. And the kurds may be far too busy defending their homeland from the islamist militants who are knocking at their gates. Ivan watson, cnn, irbil in iraqi kurdistan. So for many people this is the first time theyre hearing of the yazidis and we want to walk you through who they are. This is an ancient religious sect, one of iraqs smallest minorities numbering 500,000. Their religion predates islam and draws from christianity, judaism and zorastrianism and they are the kurdish descendants and live amongst kurds but consider themselves distinct. They have long suffered persecution with many muslims referring to them as devil worshipers. Now, earlier this week as many as 40,000 residents of sinjar fled into nearby mountains as the Islamic State fighters attacked and had nowhere else to go. Most were from the yazidi group and many were trapped without food and water in extreme temperatures and now United Nations officials some have been rescued but not known how many remain in danger. Well, as the crisis unfolds we are joined by a retired American Military officer who authored a study on how the u. S. Could strike the syrian regime, Christopher Harmer is now a Senior Analyst with the institute for the study of war. Now, that Organization Says it works towards improving the ability of the United States to execute military operations and respond to emerging threats. Thank you, sir, for talking with us. So, of course, weve said i mean youre really interested here in seeing military strikes and you have criticized the approach of the United States in doing it as too separate prongs. You feel there should be this humanitarian drop as well as the military strikes done together, otherwise, it doesnt have any strength at all. Talk to us about that because, of course, we have heard that when they dropped it, they will watch it and make sure isis members did not get access to the aid that was dropped. Its a pleasure to be with you. Im sorry to be with you under these circumstances, rosemary. Yes, having a humanitarian air drop is only half of the problem. Isis is the flip side. The humanitarian situation was caused by isis. And, if we only address the humanitarian needs through a humanitarian air drop of supplies, while thats necessary, its needed, its helpful to a certain extent thats really just putting a bandaid on the wound. Isis did not become a problem yesterday or a week ago or a month ago. These guys have been a horrible problem for over a year and now weve waited so long to act that they control fully a third of syria and a third of iraq and at this point weve really weve waited so long to get involved that i think were just too far behind to have a consequential impact at this time. Id hike to make one historic analogy. 1993 the United States with the best of intentions decided to get involved in the humanitarian crisis in somalia. We put a lot of humanitarian aid into somalia but all that happened was the warlords led s possession of that and increased their power. And you see you see a comparison here, but i mean at this stage we are hearing, of course, you know, we heard president obama late thursday announce there would be military strikes if, if we see isis threaten in any way american personnel in irbil, but do you feel then at this point its too late . Well, its too late to have best impact. Its never too late to do the right thing and the right thing here is to attack isis and simultaneously provide humanitarian aid. I reject the notion its ever too late to address our strategic requirements. At this point were getting in this situation so late the cards are stacked against us and unfortunately the innocent civilians. Were already at a point where the states of iraq and syria and the surround nation states of jordan, lebanon and turkey have been inundated with this flood of refugees along with internal displaced persons talking about millions of refugees and internally displaced persons. Theres no place left for these people to go. There are no supplies for them to access. They are literally starving to death and dying of dehydration while the rest of the world sits and watches. All right. Christopher harmer, many thanks to you for joining us and bringing your perspective to this breaking story. We do appreciate it. Errol. Now to our other breaking News Development. The ceasefire ending between hamas and israel. Lets get to our Matthew Chance in jerusalem who has a new development to bring us. Matthew. Errol, thanks very much. Within the last few minutes a few minutes after the ceasefire formally came to an end between the israelis and the palestinians and hamas in gaza after a 72hour essentially hiatus in violence, its just been confirmed to us that another rocket has been fired from the gaza strip towards southern israel, sirens going off in southern israel. The israeli iron dome interceptor system coming into play and the Israeli Military saying that that rocket was intercepted in the skies over the israeli city of ashkelon so it does seem that that ceasefire thats formally come to an end is, indeed, over but with these repeated rocket strikes that are being reported to us by the Israeli Military because just before the ceasefire expired, as well, the Israeli Military said further two rockets have been fired from the gaza strip. They didnt hit any population or cause any injuries or damage but interestingly, hamas came out with a statement in the gaza strip saying, basically distancing itself from those earlier rocket strikes saying there were israeli reports aimed at confusing the situation. It may be too early yet but we havent heard from the Palestinian Militant Group that controls the gaza strip what their response is, what their reaction is, whether they acknowledge this is their work or whether this took place, this latest rocket but again according to the Israeli Military was fired in the minutes after the formal end of the 72hour truce and was intercepted by israeli missiles over the city of ashkelon, errol. This does change the equation somewhat, matthew. Ashkelon populated much more familiar with these types of rocket attempted attacks. The people there constantly living under the threat of such rocket strikes. If were to believe what the Israeli Military said about what it plans to do once the ceasefire ends and if it continues to be attacked by rocket fires, can we assume that a military response by israel is imminent . Well, the israelis have said that quiet will be met with quiet and if they are at the receiving end of rocket attacks theyll respond to that. I mean at the moment theres been no response. I think the broader problem is that this these ceasefire talks and truce talks that were under way in cairo have obviously come to nothing and the reason for that is that the both the party, the palestinians and the israelis went to those talks from very different perspective, the palestinians wanting to go there using the ceasefire as a means to an end. As a means to kind of gaining other concessions, if you will, from the israelis. They want their borders lifted to allow the free flow of people. They want the economic blockade of the gaza strip to be lifted, as well, to bring back some semblance of normal life into the gaza strip. But thats not the perspective that the israelis had when they went to these negotiations. They more or less saw the ceasefire as the end in itself. They want quiet. They want an end to the rocket attacks. And theres very little political kind of pressure in israel for any further concessions from the israelis towards the palestinians in the gaza trip and so it does seem those talks have for the moment failed and that the barrage at least from the palestinian side has resumed. So there you have it, Matthew Chance, with that breaking development an intercepted rocket over the southern israeli city of ashkelon as this ceasefire ends and it appears the battle continues. We will try and connect also with the Israeli Government spokesperson next hour and get to cairo and see where the talks stand. Matthew, thank you. More on the conflict after this break and go to gaza where our john vause is standing by with the very latest from there. Also, a wave of terror is gripping Northern Iraq.

Thanks for staying with us on cnn. The 72hour ceasefire between israel and hamas officially ended, what, 20 minutes ago now with agreement to extend the truce. We want to bring out these live pictures from this is the israeli gaza border and at this point it looks quiet but did hear from Matthew Chance moments ago confirmation from the idf, another rocket that makes three fired into southern israel. It was this time, though, intercepted by the iron dome before that, of course, weve been reporting about two rockets, but from this point of view we know israel is holding off any response and hamas denied it more or less but hot an outright denial from hamas. Now, as we said earlier the hamas military wing would resume fighting if its key demands were not meant and that meant a seaport and border crossings open and israel is not budging on that so essentially a stalemate. Lets connect with our john vause in gaza city. John, with this report of a rocket being intercepted near ashkelon in southern israel can you give us any indication of what perhaps hamas is saying on your side of the border. Sure, errol. An official statement came out from hamas, just a brief statement sent out to reporters saying the palestinian factions which is referring to the negotiators who are currently in cairo have not agreed to an extension of that 72hour ceasefire but they did add negotiations continuing so negotiations for what at this point we dont know who theyre negotiating with. Again, it seems kind of foggy at this point. But it does seem that, you know, the ceasefire as weve seen is now over. The rocket fire is continuing and, of course, now were waiting to see the next step from the israelis. Do they resume the air strikes here. What will be the next step . I can tell you just looking out the window it is a friday morning here. So the streets are starting to get busier. There is some traffic out and, of course, you know, many people have been bracing for this hour wondering what may or may not happen and so i guess it is relatively quiet as people sort of anticipate what the israelis may try and do next. What can you tell us about the benefit this truce has brought to the civilians where you are, of course, so many were killed during the idf strikes although the Israeli Military says it did not target civilians and that, you know, each side blaming the other basically for the civilian deaths but the infrastructure there which was already woefully was completely destroyed in some areas, how much repair was even able to be done in the past three days, how much aid was able to get in . Well, there had been significant work done in trying to get at the electricity working again. Mostly by repairing those transmission lines which were in gaza and so we had about a week or so pretty much without any electricity at all, any electricity was essentially coming off generators so with those transmission lines, they were also out, as well so that had eased the crunch when it came to electricity, the city here in gaza wasnt plunged into darkness as it had been for most of the week and the water system had taken a pounding and the Sewage Treatment plant. Work was under way to fix that. That was badly damaged. Also this much needed humanitarian aid, hundreds and hundreds of trucks had managed to cross the border in israel into gaza to try to get temporary housing to people here because thousands and thousands of homes have either been destroyed or damaged and so that has been crucial. There wasnt a whole lot of work done but patching the work up. Maybe they could do more work towards getting the homeless into temporary housing. Now, with the ceasefire over, it seems all that is going to be on hold at least until we work out exactly where all this is heading. Errol. John vause with that sober assessment from gaza city where life certainly hasnt returned back to normal and many including folks in the uw said it will take years to get that power plant back to where it was and rebuild so many of the schools, shelters and youre driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pickup truck slams into your brand new car.

President Barack Obama Says he has authorized targeted air strikes in iraq. Yeah, but there are plenty of caveats to that announcement. He said theyre only to be launched if necessary to protect american personnel and to help iraqi forces battling isis militants. Mr. Obama said the u. S. Humanitarian mission is now under way to air drop aid to tens of thousands of people trapped and facing possible slaughter by isis. Now, while usair strikes against the militants are possible, the president says there will be no american combat troops on the ground in iraq. As commander in chief, i will not allow the United States to be dragged into fighting another war in iraq, and so even as we support iraqis as they take the fight to these terrorists, american combat troops will not be returning to fight in iraq because there is no American Military solution to the larger crisis in iraq. The only lasting solution is reconciliation among iraqi communities and stronger Iraqi Security forces. Now, what surprised many observers is that isis has significantly increased its territory in only a short amount of time and the insurgents say they will go all the way to the capital of baghdad and take all of it. This is a giant concern for the u. S. Government and the people it has in the region. Chief u. S. Security correspondent jim sciutto has a look at whats at stake. Reporter the president is responding both to an immediate threat from isis but also a broader threat. Lets talk about the immediate threat first to the east of mosul, the yazidi people, a religious minority are now surrounded by isis as theyre surrounded under threat of a massacre theyve been running out of food and water. Thats the function of the humanitarian air drops, a stopgap measure just to keep them from starving to death from dying of thirst. Next step opening up a humanitarian corridor to escape to safety in the kurdish controlled areas in the north. The trouble is those kurdish controlled areas now under threat from isis and in there, in irbil are hundreds of american consular staff as well as more than a hundred military advisers advising them on how to respond to isis. Thats what the president has offered air strikes to protect american personnel there but also in baghdad where the u. S. Has a very large embassy. Thats an immediate threat but lets talk about the broader threat. This is iraqi isis positions just from the middle of june and in the six weeks since then, their territory has grown and u. S. Officials tell me that the Iraqi Military really has no ability to gain back that territory, the only question now, can they keep isis from advancing and they havent been able to do that. Thats an open question for the administration how do they help the Iraqi Military not just to stop their advances but gain some territory back. Thats a threat not only to iraq and syria and the region but to the u. S. I speak to u. S. Intelligence officials who say a grave concern is this, there are many foreign fighters fighting with isis more than 100 of them american. It is believed theyre being trained and encouraged to carry out terror attacks when they return home including the americans. Thats the threat going forward. Isis not just a threat here in the region but also to the american homeland. Jim sciutto, cnn, washington. Not, kurdish officials have called for direct military assistance from the United States. Yeah, but washington has been hesitant to do that as its been heavily invested in getting the form he cohesive central government. Earlier our Alisyn Camerota spoke with two former highlevel u. S. Officials to get their views. Listen. I spoke to several kurdish leaders in irbil this morning. One was from sinjar. He said his family is from sinjar, and he made three comments. He said first this is an urgent situation. Second, why isnt anyone from the west helping us . And, third, where is america . The kurds have requested arms, equipment, and ammunition. Theyre not requesting us to come in and fight for them. Theyll fight. The peshmerga will fight. The tragedy is this weekend when there were reports of Peshmerga Forces breaking contact and withdrawing, i was told by another kurdish leader today they ran out of ammunition. So what the kurds need and what we should be providing to them are the arms, the ammunition, and the equipment that they need to fight isis. These air strikes are nice, but you cant air strike your way out of this. We have to enable the kurds to be able to fight and defend themselves. Mr. Reiter, what do you think . Well, i couldnt more violently agree with general barbaro. You cant do everything. I applaud the president , finally, for making the decision tonight to support with air strikes. But you cant close here. This is on the ground with a vicious, merciless force. The kurds are the very best friends we have in the middle east. Theyve always been there. Second only to israel. We have no better friends there. Theyre under threat, and as you put it, alisyn, they are the only ones facing off on an enemy of the United States of america, and theyre facing off against an enemy that is armed with u. S. Equipment taken from iraqis that abandoned that equipment. The kurds are fighting with obsolete equipment, and its absolutely imperative, as mike barbaro said, to get them equipped immediately. Im so glad you made that point. General, i do want you to follow up on that. We have learned that isis has all of these weapons that were left behind when the iraqi army fell apart. Some of them are u. S. Weapons. And so what is the peshmerga to do . Weve heard theyre an impressive fighting force, but theyre outgunned. Theyre outgunned and overmatched, alisyn. And another kurd told me a story about our uparmored humvees being used by isis as suicide vehicles. And the kurds say we have no weapons that can penetrate that armor. So we have a force that is willing to fight. We have a force that has requested americas aid weeks ago. Theyre not requesting boots on the ground. And so why are we resisting . So why are we resisting . If thats the answer, mr. Reeder, why are we resisting giving them weapons . Well, some of the resistance has come from trying to support a one iraq, which at this stage is a fiction. I believe it should be supported, but not at the expense when you have an existential threat ongoing today. We know that we gave weapons to maliki. Hes not given one bullet to the curds. We know that our policies deny the supply of weapons from other countries. We know we havent given any weapons to the kurds. And its time right now. And when i was in the pentagon with the general back in the mid 90s, Saddam Hussein rattled his sabre and we were able we didnt know we could do it quite that well. But we were able to muster enormous equipment in 96 hours. He backed off. We could turn this thing around in 72 hours once we have the resolve. Well, the United Nations is closely watching developments in iraq and the Security Council delivered a message to isis militants. Heres senior u. N. Correspondent richard roth. Reporter it was an angry Security Council that reacted to further offensive movements by isil in Northern Iraq as thousands flee, many pinned down on a mountainside. The Security Council issued a statement to the media expressing sharp criticism about isil and its tactics. The members of the Security Council condemn in the strongest terms the systematic persecution of those from minority populations and those who refuse the treeks treatmentist ideology of isil and associated armed groups. Reporter the Security Council said all armed groups including isil should obey International Humanitarian law, however, isil is not exactly a u. N. Member state and certainly is disobeying all proclamations from the United Nations. The focus right now, getting humanitarian assistance to those badly in need, iraqs ambassador here appreciative of all International Support and described the urgency of the situation. Very grave in terms of humanitarian issues, very quickly in terms of humanitarian issues because these are really what it is. There are a lot of people are really moving into the mountains and we need to help them quickly, especially women and children and all people and these are the things that we need at priority one right now. Reporter iraq said its in need of equipment and logistics. The Security Council is working on a stronger resolution in the next few day, target isis. Richard roth, cnn, the United Nations. All right. The ceasefire is over. Theres been no progress on peace talks and quite simply, no one knows whats about to happen next. Israel says at least five rockets have been fired from gaza into southern israel since the ceasefire ended just about 40 minutes ago. Yeah, we want to bring up the scene from gaza city right now. Certainly looks quiet from this Vantage Point. Earlier the Israeli Military said hamas broke the ceasefire by firing two rockets into israel, but hamas denies that claim. Now, as far as we know, diplomatic efforts in cairo, they do continue. Hamas says the palestinian factions havent agreed to a ceasefire continuation but that in itself a positive development and also keeping our eyes on another breaking News Development the world is following. Yeah, as the centers for Disease Control issues its highest state of alert, the United NationsHealth Agency pres to announce its next step in the battle against a deadly Ebola Outbreak. Also Closing Arguments resume today in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial. Well bring you a preview later. Wouldnt stay here tonight. Y man thanks, captain obvious. Captain obvious id get a deal for tonight with deals for tonight from hotels. Com. And you might want to get that pipe fixed. All right. We are expecting breaking developments to emerge in the next few hours as the World Health Organization will announce its next steps in this ongoing battle to try to contain the Ebola Outbreak in west africa. The u. N. Health agency says the number of confirmed or suspected deaths from ebola has now surpassed 900. Its well on its way to a thousand. The u. S. Centers for Disease Control has moved to its highest state of alert. They are tweeting two suspected cases of ebola. If confirmed it would be the fifth west african nation to be hit by the current outbreak. March file a spanish priest is the first european patient. Sierra leone, dr. Sheik is regards as a national hero. He treated ebola patients and trying to contain the spread of this disease. Our David Mckenzie sat down for an exclusive interview with his family. Reporter dr. Sheikh omar khans family knew the risks. He was the countrys only ebola specialist. When the deadly virus first appeared his father and brother pleaded him to come home. This was a young man who went to his work. He said im going to do it its very difficult to talk about. His death. Yes, of course, it is. In retrospect i wish i mean, you can understand that. Reporter but in the ebola stricken region, dr. Khan kept treating patients at the state hospital. More than 100 received his care. And he promised his brother that he would stay safe. Im a little bit angry. You just have to expect that from me because thats a lot of things the government should have done to mitigate the widespread of this dreadful disease. Reporter despite a crumbling Health Care System the government says its doing everything it can. But dr. Khan went from caregiver to patient from fighting the disease, he succumbed to it. If you had to say one thing to your brother right now, what would it be . He didnt die in vain. No, he didnt die in vain. He died for humanity, for this country. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] reporter he said his brother was alone in his fight, but in his death, a nation woke up to this outbreak. David mckenzie, cnn, sierra leone. In just a couple of hours from now, the defense will resume its Closing Arguments in the murder trial for Oscar Pistorius. Yeah, not sure if you saw this yesterday. But there was an aggressive Closing Argument from the prosecution. Pistorius defense lawyer will remind the court that the onus is on the state to show the burden of proof. He began yesterday by pointing out what he calls material mistakes in the states case. On thursday the prosecution called the South African athlete a disdainful witness that cannot escape a conviction in his girlfriends shooting death. Heres a recapsome of those strong words. Between defense is much like saying to the court that they were not on the scene of the crime but if the court finds that he was, then youre allowing an added defense that of selfdefense. The accuser has said he said i am fine. Everything is fine. My lady, what we dont have is the accused saying, security, security, help me. Phone the police, we dont have that. He saw a silhouette. My lady, it was just so many wrongs in such a short period that the Snowball Effect became so evident. Hes standing in front of her in the bathroom. He is shouting her name, shes in the cubicle. She did not utter a word. Why would it just gets ridiculous with the utmost respect and if he thought there was an intruder in the toilet hes guilty of murder. At the least for killing the intruder. What were those first shots and you will not find the answer in the argument and you will not find the answer in this argument. And one thing you cannot do in a criminal trial is you cannot ignore a serious material objective fact. Can you not do that. Once again Closing Arguments will resume in about an hour from now. Yeah, pistorius is expected to arrive at the courthouse shortly and well see that take place. I want to bring you this. Trading of Malaysia Airlines has been suspended on the kuala lumpur stock exchange. It came shortly after malaysias state Investment Firm said it wants to take them over and perform whats called a complete overhaul as they describe it of the airline. Malaysia Airlines Stock has been hard hit, of course, because of the two disasters. The crash of flight mh17 in ukraine and the disappearance of flight mh370. Malaysia air management says it will continue normal Business Operations while the board of directors considers the proposal. All right. A shift to weather now and hawaii is bracing for twin hurricanes. One now approaching landfall. Meteorologist ivan cabrera joins us with details. I saw a report of people on the big island of hawaii hunkering down. Is it making landfall. Its something that hasnt happened there ever here and were about to look at a hurricane that will make landfall in the next several hours. Barely holding on but as far as hurricane status i think it will do so before it hits the big island. Look at the activity. The Atlantic Basin closed for business right now. Its all pacific. Weve got an area of interest right across off of mexico. Weve got julio, iselle. My apologies if we dont get to the tie ton. Ill update you as i can. Heres julio and iselle. Its on top of the big island. Winds of 120 kph, 75 miles an hour. The latest doppler radar. Heres hilo to the north already seeing rain bands pushing in. Not the most impressive storm but i think the wind is not going to be the story with this. It is going to be the significant amounts of rain that well receiving as far as hurricane iselle and julio will track to the authority and focus on the time line. This is hawaii time at 2 00. There you see some of the rain bands and some of the deeper colors as a result of the 14,000foot mountains on the big island here. What is going to happen, over the next 24 to 48 hours is were going to get winds coming onshore and because of the orientation of the winds, it will climb up the mountain. That is going to allow for the enhancement of the rainfall and squeeze out some moisture as those winds push to the mountains. Here we are going to be talking about the potential for significant flooding and mudslides over the next couple of days. Well watch that and then typhoon halong in 24 to 48 hours heading to kagoshima. It is busy and i barely got through that. I could have a whole half hour here. The hawaii approach too so did well with the time you had. Great to see you. Will do. Hundreds of years of religious history now under threat as isis advances. Christians in iraq are forced to flee among many others. Stay with us on cnn. Okay, well, as fighters of the radical Islamic Group isis advance into Northern Iraq, they have one aim in mind, to build a religious state. Thats right. That leaves basically Iraqi Christians and anyone who is not a sunni extremist with a choice, convert or be killed. Our Michael Holmes has more on that. Reporter an ancient mosque said to be the burial site of jonah gone in a cloud of dust. Revered by multiple faiths including christians destroyed by isis militants. Since taking over iraqs Northern City of mosul in june, the sunni Extremist Group has targeted a number of shia mosque, religious shrines and cracked down on minorities including christians. This flier orders them to convert to islam. Pay a religious tax or face death by the sword. It prompted thousands to leave and some left with little more than the clothes on their back.
