Card image cap

This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Were going to start tonight with a rapidly developing story. Tens of thousands of refugees are on the run ahead of an offensive by the isis terrorist army in northern syria. A Syrian Rebel Group that is backed by the United States is calling it a capacity, and it is begging the u. S. To start air strikes in syria right now. American pilots have hit isis in iraq more than 200 times. President obama has authorized expanding the air campaign into syria. On the turkish border, Holly Williams found out why. Reporter isis is on the rampage again, seizing dozens of villages in morn syria last week and forcing more than a hundred thousands people to flee into turkey. And turk yess border with syria just a few miles from where isis has besieged the town of kobani. Turkish riot police defended their positions with tear gas and water cannon, but they werent fighting islamic extremists. Instead they were trying to push back turkish men who wanted to cross into syria to fight against the isis militants. Like the refugees, theyre members of the kurdish ethnic minority, and their relationship with turk yess government is tense. The confrontation turned farmland into a battle zone. Get away from the smoke. This way. This way. Reporter and forced us to run for cover. A mile away, hundreds of kurdish syrians waited to cross at another checkpoint. They told us they brought their families to safety in turkey and wanted to go back to defend their land. Muahmmad ali said he saw isis gunmen execute his cousin when the militants captured their village. The mens families may now be safe, but many have nowhere to go. Camped out on the ground inside a mosque, we met najah khalid. She told us she fled here on thursday with her six children, the youngest her tendayold baby girl. We just want to be safe from those monster, she said. We want to be able to go back home. Many people here in turkey accuse their government of hypocrisy. Today the Turkish Authority stopped kurdish fighters from going to syria, but over the last three years, thousands of foreign fighters have crossed over that border and, scott, many of them have joined isis. Pelley Holly Williams recording from turk yess border with syria. Holly, thank you. One of americas key arab allies in this fight is jordan. We spoke to Jordans King Abdullah ii in new york before the u. N. General assembly meeting. The king sees isis as part of a larger crisis. As we deal with syria and iraq, lets not nor get libya. Lets not forget yemen. Lets not forget the horn of africa, nigeria. This is truly a global fight against terror. Pelley a fight that nearly surrounds jordan with syria to its north and iraq to the east. Refugees dragged themselves into jordan. The king has welcomed 1. 4 million Syrian Refugees so far. What are the risks of isis if it carries on the way it has . Isis, the reaction to isis has got to be quick. We have not been quick. Im very, very pleased that president obama has been thinking this through i think in a very sensible manner. Pelley but in your estimation, just in the nick of time . In the nick of time, but the problem is with isis is their cross border, its in syria and iraq. So its a bit difficult for western countries and how do you deal with solving the iraq part of the puzzle, but then going into eastern syria, which has some legal ramifications. I think thats take an bit of time. Pelley in an interview just last year, you said there shouldnt be Foreign Military intervention in syria. I dont think anybodys talking about expecting foreign boots on the ground. In iraq, the iraqis can do it with assistance from the coalition. And in syria, its the Syrian Opposition doing it, moderate opposition pushing back against the extremists. Pelley so extreme that the leader of isis, abu bakr al baghdadi, demands that all the worlds muslims bow to him. The king told us al baghdadi is a heretic. I think to use the word islam and him in the same sentence is not acceptable, that he even speaks in the name of islam for me is just so horrendous and so shocking. Pelley King Abdullah ii of jordan. Tonight security around the perimeter of the white house is noticeably tighter, but some say it would amount to locking the door after the intruder got in. We learned a lot more today about the man who had no trouble scaling a white house fence on friday evening, racing across the lawn and opening an unlocked door, walking inside. It turns out it was not the first runin that he has had with the law for this decorated military veteran, and it is the latest in an embarrassing lapse for the Agency Charged with protecting the president. Major garrett is at the white house tonight. Major . Reporter scott, the suspect in fridays security breech was known to law enforcement. Virginia Police Arrested him in july with a sawedoff shotgun, sniper rifle and map of d. C. With the white house circled. Last month he was stopped but not arrested near the white house with a hatchet. 42yearold Omar Gonzalez appeared in federal court today to face a charge of unlawful entry of a Federal Building while carrying a dangerous weapon, a small pocketknife gonzalez did not brandish. But prosecutors said a search of his car revealed 800 rounds of ammunition, a hatchet and a machete. Shortly after the president and his daughters departed the white house on friday,on gzalez scaled the eightfoot fence along pennsylvania avenue. He ran for the north portico of the executive mansion, making it inside before secret Service Agents tackled him. Gonzalez is an army veteran who served three tours in iraq. His family said he suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. Today president obama expressed confidence in the security agency. The secret service does a great job, and im grateful for the sacrifices they make on my and my familys behalf. Julia pierson, director of the secret service, launched an immediate investigation and order more agents on foot in front of the white house, more surveillance cameras on the fence line and that the doors of north portico be locked. W. Ralph basham is a former director of the secret service. An intruder enters white house equals failure, right . I think you would have to say yes. Thats a security failure, no question about it. Reporter basham says one claireing question must be answered why didnt the secret Service Agents release their attacks dogs . Scott, as you know, friends jumpers are not uncommon here. Those dogs are capable and encouraged to chase down any intruder. Pelley Major Garrett outside the north portico of the white house. Major, thanks very much.

Well, today the ravens went on aus, and heres chip reid. Reporter Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti came out fighting today, denying a report by espn that Team Executives knew months ago that star running back ray rice had knocked out his thenfiancee with a powerful punch to the face. He accused rices lawyer, agent and friends of giving espn false information in an effort to cut short rices indefinite suspension from professional football. They are building a case for reinstatement, and the best way to build a case for reinstatement is to make everybody else look like theyre lying. Reporter bisciotti also denied espns claim that he aggressively lobbied nfl commissioner Roger Goodell to give rice lenient treatment before the insidetheelevator video became public earlier this month, rice had been suspended for only two games. I expected four or six games. I was as surprised as everybody else that it was two. Report in an eightpage message to the fan from the baltimore raven, bisciotti said, i did not make any requests for favor or any particular outcome. I know and like Roger Goodell, but it is inaccurate to call us good friends. He also admitted that his team failed to aggressively investigate rice. Im sorry that we didnt push harder to get that tape. Reporter and he said this is a chance for the nfl to elevate the issue of Domestic Violence. Can we avoid situations like ray rices . Absolutely not. Will we handle it differently . 100 i guarantee you we will. Reporter bisciotti said he decided to speak out today because espn is questioning not just his competence but his integrity. Scott, an espn spokesperson said today, we stand by our reporting.

And they havent been allowed back, but they got word their home was destroyed. What do you think its going to be like when you go back and see it for the first time . I dont know. I might completely fall apart. I know we wont build again. Were in our 70s. Theres no way we could do that again. Reporter 5,500 firefighters are still battling the king fire, which has already burned more than 30 homes and buildings.
