The u. S. Led air campaign against isis in syria is taking aim at the militants cash flow by hitting its mobile Oil Refineries. The pentagon says they are an important target because isis generates 2 million a day from oil operations. The impact right now is still being assessed. But the pentagon says initial indications show the air strikes in Eastern Syria were successful. Meanti meantime, britain appears to be on the verge of taking military action against isis, but only in iraq. David cameron told the u. N. General assembly hes recalling british law makers later this week to get their authorization on air sfritrikes. Its believed he has enough support from britains three main parties. The bombings would only target isis in iraq which has asked for the uk in assistance. But mr. Cameron did not rule out future strike against syria. He also said doing a deal with the syrian president will not defeat isis. He did, though, stop short of saying it would never happen. Syria needs what iraq needs an inclusive, representative, democratic government that can look after the interests of all its people. So to those who have backed assad or have stood on the sidelines, i would say this we are ready to join with you in a new political effort to secure a representative and Accountable Government in damascus that can take the fight to isis. But it is simply not credible for assad to lead such a government. Although we are prepared to look the every practical option to find a way forward. More on mr. Camerons comment and the upcoming vote in parliament, we go to downing street. Recalls are very rare. House of commons was last recalled about a year ago over syria. What does David Cameron need to do differently this time . Thats right. Well, i think when they recalled parliament a year ago there on the question of syrian air strikes against the assad regime, the circumstances a year later are very different. At the time, there was some real questions about the objectives of that action. There were questions about the legality. And this time around, were seeing a Prime Minister, David Cameron, make a very clear case, especially there at the u. N. General assembly in new york for actions specifically in iraq. Take a listen what he had to say in a speech that was more geared to lawmakers than to diplomats in the room. Do we have a clear basis in International Law for action . And we have a need to act in our own National Interest to protect our people and our society. So it is right that britain should now move to a new phase of action. I am therefore recalling the British Parliament on friday to secure approval for the United Kingdom to take part in International Air strikes against isil in iraq. Now, as you heard him say there, the specific question that they will be debating on friday relates to air strikes in iraq at the request of the iraqi government. Yesterday, the braem was very clear that any question regarding air strikes over syria would require a separate parliamentary debate. David cameron says he is confident he has the support he need. Is he right to be so confident . Well, i dont think anything is 100 , zane, but political analysts ive been talking to tell me they dont think the Prime Minister would recall Parliament Without being confident of that support, that he really cant afford another political humiliation, especially on the eve of his own partys conference. You know, we heard from the labor Opposition Leader saying that he would be open to concrete proposals calling for air strikes over iraq at the request of the iraqi government. But he did say he would want to see some sort of u. N. Security Council Resolution which is up with of the reasons why fridays debate would be centered on the air strikes over iraq. And there is growing pressure to take action, considering officials time and time again, isis poses a real and present danger to people here in the United Kingdom. They raised the threat level in response to some 500 british ji dadis who traveled abroad to places like syria to fight on behalf of organizations such as isis. Theres been beheadings of one British National in that gruesome video released not too long ago. At least two more British Nationals being held hostage. This is being seen as a real and present danger to this country. Were seeing france participate in air strikes with the United States over iraq. Yesterday, the netherlands announcing its own participation and belgium saying that it would also put the question to parliament to send six f16s to iraq as well. Erin glocken, we appreciate it. Now the u. S. President barack obama is a wartime president. He with us as the United Nations for much of wednesday rallying support in his war against isis. But it wasnt so long ago he was known for the charge of ending wars in iraq and afghanistan. For a look at whats changed, heres our jim schuler. Reporter speaking to leaders from the 193 countries assembled at the u. N. , president obama delivered an ambitious call to action to the world. We can renew the International System that has enabled so much progress, or we can allow ourselves to be pulled back by an undertow of instability. To the outbreak of ebola, but little more than a day after he took the u. S. And its Coalition Partners to war against isis in syria, the president identified the central challenge as the cancer of vie lnt olent extremi. There is no negotiating with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. Military action, however, is only part of his solution. He demanded that muslims themselves stand up to the root causes of terrorism. It is time for the world, especially muslim communities to explicitly, forcefully and consistently reject the ideology of organizations like al qaeda and isil. Reporter this was president obama at the g20 last year in russia. I was elected to end wars, not start them. And this was mr. Obama today. Those who have joined isil should leave the battlefield while they can. Those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find theyre increasingly alone. And that was jim schuler reporting there. The u. N. Security council has unanimously passed a resolution to stop the flow of money and foreign fighters to isis. U. S. President obama chaired the committee. He said he called the meeting in order for the International Community to come together and face a growing threat. But he warned that resolutions alone will not solve the problem. Take a listen. The words spoken here today must be matched and translated into action. Into deed. Only the second time a u. S. President has chaired a u. N. Security council meeting. Now, the u. S. Military says the United Arab Emirates took part in the latest strikes on isis targets inside syria. Becky anderson joins us now live. And the americans are really talking about the fact that the saudi and emirates took the lead in this latest operation. Its interest, isnt it . For the first sort of 24 hours, it was unclear how these five arab nations fall from the gulf. And jordan were actually involved. The jordanianian minister of state told me early into this conflict in the air that, in ti themselves. They said thats partly because they had been infiltrated across the border partly by isis themselves. U. S. And its arab partners certainly taking aim squarely at the Economic Life blood or isis, and that, indeed, is oil. The pentagon, as you rightly pointed out, say war planes from the United States, saudi arabia and United Arab Emirates struck 13 targets in Eastern Syria. Damage assessments are still under way, but the main targets were mobile Oil Refineries which isis uses to process oil and sell on the black market. It wasserly on that jordan admitted to its actual involvement u. S. Centcom now every night delineating how people are either participating or playing a supporting role. For example, weve never heard that qatar has physically put its planes in the air. Its always been so far as u. S. Centcom is concerned that it is playing a supporting role. Theres lots of roles for these countries to play, of course, as intelligence and Logistics Support as well as putting jets in the sky. But for sure, overnight, weve seen sorties from the uae and from saudi, according to the u. S. When you look at the pattern of air strikes, you see many strong holds hit in many different ways. Areas where isis is accessing oil. Why does that matter . Oil is important as a life blood for isis. If you look at big cities out here, where there is a lot of Oil Production like raqqa here which has a quarter of a million people. Thats not these air strikes are aimed at. Instead, its out of the country side where isis is running small, small portable Oil Refineries that they can somehow get value out of and sell oil on the black market. How much does that matter to isis . A tremendous amount. Look at all the Oil Production areas they are strong in over here. And look at the result. These 12 refineries that were knock the out would produce, according to u. S. Officials, 300 to 500 barrels of oil a day. Thats being sold on the black market for about 30 per barrel. And all of it combined, not just the refinery, everything they have is estimated to bring 2 million a day into isis. That money really matters because that money is whats allowing them to pay fighters, to accept up their operations and hold so much ground out here. Thats why its advanced to this phase because of a belief in the u. S. Government that if you attack the money you can cut the legs out from underneath isis and eventually drive them out of the territory. So john, as weve been say, we know there are a number of arab nations taking part in the u. S. Led coalition against isis. And youve rightly pointed out its important to the states that the wider world get the sense that this is not just a u. S. Effort, that this is an effort from the region. And when you talk to people here in the gulf at least, they say this is for all intents and purposes our responsibility. And having this being only a u. S. Effort wouldnt be any fault of the u. S. , which in many parts of this region isnt held in great esteem. But also important that the arab countries sort of step up at this point. Amateur video in Eastern Syria claims to show several strikes from overnight. The u. S. Military saying, as ive said, that saudi and the uae carried out seven of these 13 strikes. Bahrain and zwror dan taking part in the first round of strikes, qatar, and ill say it again, playing a supporting role. John . Thank you, we appreciate that. Becky anderson live for us there in abu dhabi. None of the original allies are taking part in this. Is this a problem for the United States . Well take a short break, but when we come back, well talk to a military analyst who mr. Ask if the coalition can, can they win with this strategy . And chilling video. A french hostage is killed in algeria by a group believed to be tied to isis. Hear what frances president has to say about it.

Welcome back to our coalition coverage. The latest round targeted militants of supply, money and fuel. They hit a dozen mobile Oil Refineries run by isis in the remote part of Eastern Syria. The pentagon says isis makes up to 2 million a day from oil operations. Lets go to a retired u. S. Army colonel and our military strategist. Peter, just explain this to us. Isis controls about 60 of syrias oil fields. Hitting a dozen small refineries seems to be small to me. Welsh its a start. Clearly we want to choke off their supply of oil, both to fuel their own activities and to sell on the black market. And this is just one of the many things the kwo ligs will to to cut off the financing to isis and impede its ability to operate. The saudis and iraqis, the americans saying theyre carrying out the majority of these strikes, 7 out of 13. Is this the case of the u. S. Deliberately leading from behind. Clearly, the United States is going to supply the bulk of the air power for this campaign in the long run, but its important for the arab nations to take the lead. And to show theyre full members of this coalition. Everyone has been talking about the involvement of sunni arab nations, not just with support and money, but actually by committing air power and getting their hands dirty, getting a bit of skin in gamt. But look at whats happening in syria. The is without traditional allies. Is it a problem now for the United States it doesnt have western nations taking part in these air strikes . You know, i think the United States is going to accept help from the coalition where the coalition will be willing to give help. For european nations this will be no doubt in iraq. It will be humanitarian aid in turkey perhaps and in jordan. There will be military action in iraq. In syria, were going to accept the help of the gulf arab states are willing. Jordan. But most importantly, were going to try to get the syrians to fight for their own liberation by trading the Free Syrian Army. The president has said this is going to be a very Long Campaign and it will be measured in years, not months. Okay. So when youre looking at the assessment if this strategy is working, how soon do you think that decision if it is, in fact, working, weve had 190 air strikes on iraq in the past six weeks. Isis has not lost an inch of territory so far. Well, i dont think that was the purpose of those air strikes. As you recall, when the air strikes began, isis was advancing on urbil, the capital of the kurdish region. They were advancing on baghdad and that momentum has completely stopped. So the air strikes have done their job. Theyve stopped isis momentum and its advance. Rolling back isis is going to take much, much longer and require a competent ground component, which i dont see right now on the ground either in iraq or syria. Sick months . Six months maybe a start. Remember, these are armed forces that have rotted from within due to the replacement of competent leaders with political hacks. Its going to take six months to a year, i think, to restore the fighting competence of the iraqi army. So i would say more than six months. Right. Okay. Its going to be a long time. Peter, thanks for being with us. We appreciate it. My pleasure. Take a short break here. Coming up next, though, raqqa in syria is the focus of the first wave of Coalition Air strikes. We will hear from one resident there. About just what is going on. My foot was destroyed when my vehicle was hit by an ied. I lost my right eye; damaged my left eye.

Da where he will come back, everyone. Senior International Correspondent has been in touch with activists inside the city. As the air strikes were taking place, we were speaking with a syrian activist from raqqa, and he was saying that they were welcoming this latest round of attacks on isis facilities, especially because it seemed at this stage that the targets were outside of populated areas. But still would be damaging to the terrorist organization itself. He was talking about how the mood in raqqa was conflicted. People on the one hand happy that the world was finally paying attention and doing something about the nightmarish conditions they been living under while isis o
