It is friday, september 26th. 5 00 a. M. In the east. We begin with terror concerns here in the United States. Federal, state and local officials are scrambling to tell americans subway systems are safe to ride. This is after a warning from the iraqi Prime Minister that isis, he says, has been planning a terror attack on american transit. Officials are confident the subways are safe for now. They have seen no credible threat at all on the subway. It doesnt seem like the iraqi leader knows what he is talking about. The al qaeda cell offshoot in syria, khorasan, may be a danger. No indication that this disrupted a plan to attack the United States. Jim acosta mahas more. Reporter john and christine, this started when the Prime Minister gathered at the United Nations that baghdad services described an imminent terror plot at the u. S. And france. That sparked a lot of concern in the obama administration. Senior officials said all day long they had no credible evidence of any such plot and then late in the day, a Top State Department official actually went back to the iraqi Prime Minister and talked to him. The iraqi Prime Minister told him that he was only speaking in general terms. This was not an actual imminent terror plot posed by isis against the subway systems. That will be reassuring to people in new york city. The mayor bill de blasio reassured riders it was safe to ride. It is important to point out that senior officials dont believe isis has the ability to carry outer or attacks on the u. S. Homeland. They are concerned about of khorasan group. They say and so does the fbi director, that group is capable of carrying out terror attacks. John and christine. Air strikes on thursday focused on cutting off the terror groups income from oil sales. The pentagon says the strikes hit in eastern syria. In iraq, french planes hit near fallujah. Meantime, no relief in sight for the tens of thousands of kurdish refugees making a dangerous trip through the syrian desert. They are fleeing advance of isis troops. They arrive at the border and they find themselves in nomans land. Turkeys resources are stretched thin. Cnns phil black is live on the turkey syrian border. Reporter christine, the gates have been thrown up here recently. I want to show you what we are seeing here this morning with the latest wave of refugees who just arrived. In this holding pen, which is where they are processed after they enter. There are hundreds. You will see mostly women and children. They are tired, they are dusty, they are hungry, they are thirsty. They are carrying sacks, suitcases and really stuffed to the brim with whatever they could grab and move on. There are men in this number as well. In a mobile office close by going through the process of registering their families. Registering them here in turkey as official refugees. While the women, the children, sit and wait and rest. The reason these people are still coming, it reinforces what we are hearing from fighters, local fighters across the border in syria. That is isis is continuing to advance. While isis forces may be recoiling from International Air strikes in other parts of esyri and iraq as well. What they are doing here in syria is advancing and taking more territory. Fighters on the ground are holding them back, but they are out numbered. They are driving more refugees here. So the result is what you see here around me. This tired group of humanity, really. These people who have effectively lost everything. Telling us they decided to move on in the last 24 hours because they say the fighting and noise of war was getting so much closer to their homes. Which proves that isis is making ground. Isis is taking territory and despite the fact the fighters which stayed behind to fight the isis advance, what they are calling for the international strikes to assist them and strike isis in this region. Just over the border here. Christine, they are saying that has not happened yet. Phil black for us on the border. Thank you, phil. A reminder, isis is making advances and pushing those people to that border. British and american intelligence officials believe they have identified the masked man who speaks in the isis beheading videos. They decline to name him. Since august, isis has posted the gruesome videos with james foley and steven sotloff. The man with the british accent dressed head to toe in black is the same in all three videos. Eric holder, the first africanamerican attorney general, is stepping down. He calls his six years at the helm the greatest honor of his professional life. House Speaker John Boehner says the resignation is long overdue. The attorney general is not going anywhere yet. He will stay on the job until a successor is confirmed by the senate. Six years. That is a long time. A long time for any cabinet. There are only three of president obamas cabinet in his positions. Arne duncan and tim milsack. Tens of thousands of families crossing the border this year failed to show up for required followup meetings with immigration agents. This is according to the Homeland Security department. 60,000 were released by government officials and they say come back in 15 days to the nearest immigration office. Tens of thousands of people did not do that. For the first time in decades, a policy will allow a number in the u. S. To join the military. And an issue with the smartphones. Fbi director is accusing the companies that their data is an issue. It will be encrypted and will require a pass code. A lot of people unhappy with nsa collection techniques. This is what we are asking the companies to do. We dont want people to get our data. It is a privacy move for better encryption. Something the fbi is not keen about.

Still on the sidelines in the war against isis, at least, for the next hour or so is the united kingdom. Prime minister David Cameron convening parliament for a vote to authorize air strikes against isis in iraq. Standing by live now for us in london is cnns isa soares. Isa, a big moment for David Cameron. Reporter absolutely. Good morning, john. Big vote expected to start in 15 minutes or so from now. If i checked big ben which is correct behind me. What is expected to start off with is David Cameron making a speech. Similar in terms of tone we heard at u. N. On thursday making out a legal case and carefully making legal case for air strikes in iraq. I want to clarify toward you as we talk about air strikes only in iraq. That is the motion on the table for parliament. Not talking about syria. I spoke about 20 minutes ago to the u. K. Foreign secretary and i asked him how realistic is that and how confident is he that it will go through. He is confident and substantial majority will vote on this. He said, of course, many will seek assurances. Others will have concerns. People i have been speaking to in last two days, john, they have been asking about what kind of strategy will the u. K. Have in iraq. How long and how much will it cost and what are the pardon me, the consequences involved in iraq for the people at home here. On the whole, the majority expect to devote. The parties here have backed that vote. Expected to back that vote. I think it will go through, but without a doubt, very heated debate in the common. John. Always seems to be heated in the house of commons. Isa, this is all happening under the cloud of terror concerns in britain. I understand there were new arrests this morning. What do you know about that . Reporter yes, yes. In the early hours of this morning, we heard of two arrests. We have two individuals stopped by metro police on the highway here in london. Two gentlemen, one 33 years of age, the other is 42. We are known they were arrested as part of the nine arrests we heard yesterday. Islamic related terrorism. This is what we know. We dont know anything else about the two gentlemen. If you remember yesterday, those nine people arrested were arrested for being members of a banned organization. The main person we were able to confirm and british media is confirming is chowdri. The cleric radical. He has been protesting outside the u. S. Embassy and as well in the streets of london handing out leaflets. Isis leaflets. This is what we know. The question is how many and what happens next and will they be charged and where will the investigation go from here. John. That is the environment under which this discussion battling isis in iraq which will take place behind you. Isa soares, thanks. Protesters took to the streets of ferguson, missouri calling for the police chief resignation. Marching alongside them was Thomas Jackson before the scene got chaotic. This happened hours after jackson made a public apology. Jackson apologized to the family and public. He tells cnn he has no intention of leaving his job. I talked to a lot of people who initially called for that and changed their minds after having meetings and discussions about moving forward. Realistically, ill stay here and see this through. You know, this is mine and im taking ownership of it. The family of Michael Brown has not seen the taped apology by jackson. This according to their attorney. Learning more this morning about the suspect allegedly abducted hannah graham. Authorities say Jesse Matthew was questioned by investigators in a 2002 rape case, but never charged due to lack of evidence. Now matthew waived extradition after his arrest in texas just a few days ago. He will return to virginia as early as today. His father spoke to affiliate wtvr. He says he cant believe his son had anything to do with Hannah Grahams disappearance. Kill or hurt somebody, thats not my son. The only thing i can see him is maybe trying to give the girl a ride home or help her out. If i did, ill go to him and bring him in myself.

The fbi does have one big concern. Breaking overnight. Protesters on the streets of ferguson, missouri again. New arrests following an apology from the towns police chief to Michael Browns family. Welcome back to early start. Im john berman. Im christine romans. Terror alerts jangling nerves here at home. Officials scrambling to reassure americans that the subway systems are safe to ride in new york and paris after getting blind sided thursday by a warning from iraqs new Prime Minister. The warning that isis plans a terror attack on american and french mass transit. The Officials Say they are confident the subways are safe for now. There is an al qaeda cell in syria that still may be a danger. The head of the fbi says there is no indication the air strikes this week disrupted khorasans plans. Reporter john and christine, this started when the iraqi Prime Minister told reporters that baghdad Intelligence Services had information about an imminent terror plot aimed at the u. S. And france. That obviously sparked a lot of concern in the obama administration. Senior officials had no credible evidence of any such plot. A state official went back to the iraqi Prime Minister and talked to him and the iraqi Prime Minister told him that he was only speaking in general terms and this was not an actual imminent terror plot posed by isis this was not a plot against the subway systems. Mayor bill de blasio said it was safe to ride the subway there. Officials dont believe isis has the ability to carry out terror attacks on the homeland. They are concerned about khorasan members. They say and the fbi director says that group is capable of carrying out terror attacks. John and christine. Thanks, jim, for that report. Air strikes against isis on thursday focused on cutting off the islamic terror groups income from oil sales. U. S. Led air strikes hit mobile refineries in eastern syria. In iraq, french war planes hit warehouses near fallujah. No relief in sight for the hundreds of thousands of kurdish refugees making the trip through the syrian desert. They are fleeing in advance of isis troops. They arrive at the border and find themselves trapped. Turkey is prepared to accept more refugees, but resources are stretched thin. Cnns phil black is live on the border with syria. Phil. Reporter john, forgive me. Audio problems this morning. What i would like to show you here is the latest wave of refugees to come through and cross from the syrian border. The gates opened at the point at the last hour. This is the result. These several hundred people stumbled through carrying what they can. Belongings stuffed in sacks and wrapped up in blankets. They are given the basics. Water and biscuits to eat and medical attention for those who need it. What goes on in the holding area, this is where they are processed. They are given the basic needs while the men line up to register them formally to enter turkey as refugees. This is quite striking for another day seeing so many people coming through. Those we spoke to decided to make this move because the noise of war, isis, fighters and weapons, were coming close to their homes and villages. What this means is that in other parts of syria and in iraq where Coalition Air strikes have got isis recoiling and seeking shelter and trying to adjust operations, just across the border in the kurdish region, isis is on the advance. They are fighting to take terrorist in the region. The local fighters say they are slowing them down, but they are out gunned and out numbered. They have not been, they say, any Coalition Air strikes against the isis forces in the region. The people here tell us that is what they desperately want. John. People want some peace to live their lives. Millions of people in syria caught in the middle of the conflict which is raging for years. Phil black on the turkey syria border. Officials believe they have now identified the masked man who speaks in the isis beheading videos. They decline to name him. We want to go to David Cameron, the Prime Minister of britain. He is speaking about the vote they will be having about whether to join the u. S. In air strikes in iraq. Lets listen. President obama called this network of death. Mr. Speaker, there is no more serious an issue than asking our armed forces to put themselves in harms way to protect our country. I want to set out today why i believe that is necessary. If we are to do this, there is a series of questions which must be answered. Is this in our national interests, in particular, is there a direct threat to the british people . Is there a comprehensive plan for dealing with the threat . Is the military element necessary . Is it necessary for us to take part in military action . Is it legal for us to take part . Will we be doing so with the support of local partners . Will doing this add up to a moral justification for putting the lives of british servicemen and women on the line . Above all, do we have a clear idea of what a successful outcome will look like and are we convinced the strategy will take us there . First, our national interests. Is there a threat to the british people . The answer is yes. Isil has murdered one british hostage and threatening the lives of two more. The first isil inspired terrorist paacts in europe have taken place with the attack on the Jewish Museum in brussels. Security services have disrupted six other known plots in europe as well as foiling a terrorist attack in australia named at civilians, including british and american tourists. Isil is a terrorist organization unlike those we have dealt with before. The brutality is staggering. Beheadings, crucifixions, the gouging out of eyes, the use of rape as a weapon, the slaughter of children. All these things belong to the dark ages. It is not just the brutality. It is backed by billions of dollars and captured an arsenal of the most modern weapons. In the space of a few months, isil has taken control of territory and making millions. It has attacked lebanon and boasts of designs right up to the turkish border. This is not a threat on the far side of the world. Left unchecked, we will face a terrorist caliphate on the shores of the mediterranean and bordering a nato member with a declared and proven determination to attack our country and our people. This is not the stuff of fantasy. It is happening in front of us and we need to face up to it. Next, is there a clear comprehensive plan . Yes. It starts at home with tough uncompromising action to prevent attacks and hunt down those planning them. As the house knows, we are introducing new powers and strengthening the ability to seize passports and stop suspects from traveling. It is stripping dual nationals. In all of this, we are being clear about the cause of the terrorist threat we face. As i said before, that means defeating the poisonous ideology of extremism by attacking the extremists. Not just the violent. We are banning preachers of hate and stopping people from inciting hate in our schools, universities and prisons. Of course, some will say any action you take will further radicalize young people. The threat of radicalization is here. Young people have left the country to fight with the extremists. We must take action at home and have a strategy to defeat the extremists abroad. A question on the strategy. Two questions is now put to himself. How long will this war last and when will Mission Start . Let me answer that. This is a mission that will not just take months, but years. We have to be prepared for that commitment. The reason for that is i think quite rightly, america, britain and others, are not contemplating putting combat troops on the ground. There will be troops on the ground, but they will be iraqi troops and kurdish troops. We should be supporting them in all the ways i will describe. In terms of mission, i would address very directly later in my speech, discussing what is happening in iraq today and only that, and that is the motion in terms of the order of paper. Let me give way to the lady and then my friend. Im grateful for the Prime Minister giving way. He said on a number of occasions in the house we face long term generational struggle and the priority is to fight the poison. Will he commit now with working with the mainstream Muslim Community carried out in the religion and have a Practical Program to make this happen . I absolutely commit to doing that. We have to do that in britain and around the world. We should be clear that the cause of this problem is the poisonous narrative of the extremism. Wherever there are broken states and civil wars, we see this problem arise. Whether it is boko haram or syria or iraq. We need muslims to reclaim their religion from the extremists. That is happening in our country and around the world. It was notable that president obama in his speech to the United Nations singled out muslims in britain who were saying this is not being done in my name. We should praise those people. Let me give way to my friend. The Prime Minister placed his trust in the iraqi army. Having caused this mess, they ran away and isil has their arms. Is this seriously contended by air strikes alone we can actually rollback isil or is this just politics . To be absolutely direct, i am not claiming by air strikes alone we can rollback the problem. What this problem requires is a comprehensive strategy, including a well formed Iraqi Government and well formed Iraqi Armed Forces because they in the end will be the ones who have to defeat this on the ground. Where i hold on. Where i disagree with my honorable friend, in the cause of how this came about, i would say the two most principle causes of this problem, as i said, the background of islam extremism, but the two principle causes are the fact in syria, assad has been butchering his people and acting as a recruiting sergeant. In iraq, with the Nuri Al Maliki government, he did not represent all of the people of iraq. I thought one of the powerful interventions i found was ban kimoon got it wrong. Missiles can kill terrorists. It is Good Governance that can kill terrorism. Grateful to the Prime Minister. Does he agree to the Iraqi Government need a political strategy to win over sunnis and kurds in his country and is he satisfied they know how to do it and we will have full diplomatic support . In answer to the first question, gentlemyes. A lot more needs to be done. I met with Prime Minister abadi in new york and discussed this with him. We need to make sure that the government in iraq is not just supporting shia community, but bringing together is shia and kurds with armed forces that are respected by every part of that community. That hasnt happened yet. It is happening. I think that president obama was absolutely right to delay this action until we had an Iraqi Government with whom we can work as a good partner. What ill do is make progress with my speech and take several more interventions. So, as i said, we have to take action at home and abroad and as we take action abroad, it must involve using all resources at our disposal. That means humanitarian efforts, which britain is leading to help those displaced by isil. It means diplomatic efforts to engage the widest coalitions of countries. At the United Nations, were leading the process of condemning isil, disrupting the flow of finance to isil and forging a global consensus. Vitally, the strategy also involves political efforts to support the creation of a new and genuinely inclusive government in iraq and to bring about a transition of power in syria that can lead to a new representative and government in damascus that it, too, can take the fight to isil. As one part of this comprehensive strart guy, i do believe our military have an indispensable role to play. In a moment or two, i will turn to why. Let me take intervention to the honorable gentleman. The comments for giving way. Can we say more about the vital area of trying to change the nature of government in syria and irans potential role in doing that . Well, to be frank, what syria needs is what iraq needs, which is an inclusive democratic government that represents all of its people. We have had our strategy in terms of that, backing the moderate syrian opposition. The Syrian National council and working with others. I think iran has a role to play. I met with president rowhani in new york to discuss this and other issues. Iran can play a role in helping to play about better government in both syria and in iraq. But, the jury is still out as to whether they will play that role. We should be encouraging them to do that. Ill give way to my honorable friend and then ill make progress. Im grateful for the time. We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss this in the manner today. My friend has mentioned syria and on the Ground Fighting isil as the Kurdish Peshmerga and the iraqi army. Also fighting on the ground is the Free Syrian Army. Last week, the United States congress voted to support the Free Syrian Army overtly with weapons. They are conducting a ground war, which we are not prepared to do, would the Prime Minister say whether or not we are looking again at whether we can give military hardware to the Free Syrian Army because they have the people. They dont have the weaponry to take on assad and isil together because they have been doing that for the past year and need our help. As my honorable friend knows, what we have done is support the Syrian National coalition and Free Syrian Army with advice and training and mentoring and with non lethal equipment. Im not proposing a change to that today. Let me address the issue of isil in syria. Isil needs to be destroyed in syria as well as iraq. We support the action that the United States and five arab states have taken in syria. I do believe theres a strong case for us to do more in syria. I did not want to bring a motion to the house today which there wasnt consensus for. It is better if our country can proceed on the basis of consensus. Of course, in this house, im sure we will hear this in the debate today, there are many concerns about doing more in syria. I understand that. I dont believe there is a legal barrier because i think the legal advice is clear that were we to act or others to act, there is a legal basis. It is true to say the syrian situation is more complicated and the iraqi situation. It is more complicated because of the dictator assad and the state of the civil war. We should be clear, we have a Clear Strategy for dealing with syria. Backing the official opposition and building it up as a Counter Point to assad and working for a transition. As i said in the end, what syria needs is what iraq needs, which is a government that can represent all of its people. Let me give way to the honorable friend. Does he accept that without the iraqi army being able to take and hold ground . It was a risk that air strikes alone were not effective, but counter productive especially if casualties mount and isil with stands the might of the west and still held its ground and spins that story which it has managed to do. I would disagree with my honorable friend. The air action that has taken place by the americans and french has already made a difference. Lives have been saved. Christians and other minorities who otherwise would be butchered has been saved by that action. If my honorable friend is saying, do we need a better iraqi army, that is more capable on the ground, yes, of course, we do. Because we quite rightly, im not prepared to put our own combat troops on the ground, we should be working with the iraqis and kurds so they become more effective. We cannot wait for that and allow minorities and others to be butchered and for the risk for our country to increase. Let me make progress on why military action is necessary. Frankly, without it, i dont believe there is a realistic prospect ever degrading and defeating isil. There is a military conflict taking place. Isil has taken territory and butchering people in iraq. Iraqi and Kurdish Security forces are fighting isil. We have to decide if we are going to support them. I believe we should. If we are to beat these terrorists, it is vital the International Community does more fighting extremism. Along with the European Partners as discussed in this house, we are playing our role and supplying equipment. We are strengthening the forces in lebanon. But to be frank and this is vitally important for the house to understand, the Iraqi Government want more direct assistan assistance. Earlier this week, the iraqi Prime Minister wrote to the United Nations asking for support. When i met Prime Minister abadi in new york, he reiterated that request to me. In iraq, the work of destroying isil is for the Iraqi Security forces. They need our help. It is in our interests and theirs to give it. Defense minister. There is a problem in iraq that we need to recognize. It is not just political and it is not just capability. There needs to be a will from the iraqi army to defend the sunni areas of the country. Now, in his talk was the new government, has he seen that change . It actually means air strikes are supported in a country that has the will to defend all of its own people. The gentleman is absolutely right. That is the conversation we are having with the Iraqi Government. There is no doubt in my mind this iraqi Prime Minister is a change from the previous regime. They understand at this point. Frankly, we should be tough in interactions with them. They want our help. They want more training. They want more expertise. They want our counterterrorism experti expertise. We should give them help. As we give them that help, this is conditional on you defending and protecting all of your people. That must include the sunnis in iraq as well. Let me give way. Thank you for giving way. The kurdish president is on record for saying they do not want british servicemen and women fighting fight for them. They need better equipment and training and air support. Did Prime Minister abadi deliver the similar message to our Prime Minister and what is this situation visavis the sunni tribes . They need to play a role in this and they need to take the fight to isil as well. My honorable friend, that is spot on. The iraqi Prime Minister was frank in his requests from me. He said in new york, we need your help to drive these people out of our country and indeed out of the world. So he is very frank about that. We are supplying equipment to the kurds. We can do more to help the Iraqi Security forces. As for the sunni tribes, yes, we need them to help, but they need to see they can be part of a successful iraq. That is why the involvement of arab countries is important. And particular countries to encourage the sunni tribes to take the step. Let me give way to my friend and ill make progress. To the Prime Minister, im glad he seems to accept the air strikes alone cannot hope to be successful unless they are in close coordination with credible Ground Forces. The only Ground Forces mentioned so far are those of the kurds and iraqis. What are the other arab states proposing to do because surely the Ground Forces have to be sunni muslim Ground Forces and we need other arab countries to supply them. I think my honorable friend makes an important point. We should tread carefully here. We are proposing to act at the request of the legitimate Iraqi Government. That government is supposed to represent all of its country. Sunni and kurds. That country should be doing that rather than relying on other countries to provide sunni forces in order to deliver that effect. So i think it is very important that we keep the pressure because it is the Iraqi Government that should be representing its people rather than proxies for it. Ill take more interventions, i promise. I want to answer this question. Whether it is necessary for britain to take part in the international action. Should we leave it to others . I dont think that is the right answer. The coalition needs your help. In particular with the vital work with the air strikes. Britain has unique assets that no other Coalition Ally can contribute. You are watching Prime Minister David Cameron speaking to parliament. He is asking for authorization for air strikes in iraq. We will have that when we come back from the break.
