Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. We begin with that horrific news, the new and gruesome video appearing to show a second american hostage executed by terrorists from isis. This time american juournalist Steven Sotloff two weeks after james foley lost his life. It was just days ago Steven Sotloffs mother beg is isis to spare her son. Tonight an urgent manhunt for the mysterious man in a hood appearing now with a message now for president obama. We have Team Coverage and we begin with abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross. Reporter u. S. Officials said today Steven Sotloff never had a once the 31yearold american journalist was in the hands of the group. The emotional plea for his life from his mother clearly had no impact on her sons killers. I ask you to please release my child. As a mother, i ask your justice to be merciful and not punish my son for matters he has no control over. Reporter isis said it killed sotloff because of president obamas decision to continue the u. S. Bombing of isis targets in iraq. Today as the president left for meetings in europe over the threat from isis, the only comment came from his press secretary. Our thoughts and prayer is first and foremost are with mr. Sotloff and his family and those who worked with him. Reporter the graphic video today was titled a second message to america, posted online by a throw away email account and then distributed on social media. The hooded executioner appeared to be the same british accented speaker who, two weeks ago, bye headed james foley. You have been at the forefront of the aggression. Reporter investigators are already comparing the voices of the two videos, along with an analysis of a dessert setting, the speakers use of his left hand to hold the knife, and his eyes. Earlier facial recognition experts had created this likeness from an examination of the eyes from the last video, clean shaven and with a mustache, trying to figure out who was responsible. Theres obviously a strong interest in identifying who and where does isis now continue to hold foreigners including americans. Reporter a spokesman for sotloffs parents said they are privately grieving the death of their son who before his capture a year ago covered conflicts from africa and the mid east. He knew what he was doing. It wasnt a reckless thing. Reporter at the end of todays video, isis produced another western hostage, identified as a british citizen named david haines along with a warning in what they termed an evil alliance against isis. Its their belief isis is holding two aid workers who went to help civilian caught in the strife tonight. Brian ross, thank you. That hooded terrorist from isis speaking directly to president obama today. The president headed to europe for a high stakes meeting with global leading, at the top of their agenda, what to do about the growing threat from isis. Jon karl is traveling with the president. Reporter white house Officials Say the Intelligence Community is still working to confirm the authenticity of this tape, but officials tell me they have no doubt that it is real. The president has sought to downplay the threat post by isis, but now with the second execution of an american and fears that the group holds two more, its becoming a threat thats harder and harder to downplay, and as the president meets here with leaders in europe this week, the need to come up with a comprehensive strategy to confront isis is at the top of the agenda. More than 120 air strikes on iraq in just the last four weeks. We heard that message from the president. Will this chaj the strategy Going Forward . I certainly think the execution of james foley was a wakeup call and this apparent execution will reinforce the resolve but it will not change the overall strategy. Theres disgust and anger about this horrific murder, but the military, the president have to distance themselves emotionally when making decisions. The air strikes in Northern Iraq have been relentless, however. The majority of them aimed at preventing isis from overtaking towns. As for syria, the White House Press secretary said today, the president has been working closely with his team to review military options there. The surveillance flights over syria have been looking at isis movement, isis targets, and there are plenty of them. Its up to the president to decide if that is the route he wants to take, david. One more note from overseas, the pentagon confirming that usair strikes in somalia did happen, the target of al shabaab with links to al qaeda. Theres no confirmation whether the leader was hit.

Looking for something better. 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. When i had my first migraine, i was lucky. That sounds crazy, i know.
