Welcome to cbs this morning. Were getting an upclose look at the battle against isis this morning in one of the worlds most dangerous places. Holly williams and her crew came under fire in syria as they approached the front line. Theyre okay. Well check in with holly in just a moment. But first, president obamas admission about underestimating isis in last nights 60 minutes, correspondent steve croft asked him about the terror groups rise to power in syria and iraq. I understand all the caveats about these regional groups but this is this is an army of 40,000 people according to some of the military estimates i heard the other day, very well trained, very motivated. Well part of the how did this get how did they end up where they are in control of so much territory . Was that a complete surprise to you . Well i think our head of the Intelligence Community jim clapper, has acknowledged i think that they underestimated what had been taking place in syria. He didnt say just say that we underestimated isil. He said we overestimated the ability and the will of our allies, the iraqi army to fight. Thats true. Thats absolutely true. Is there a moderate Syrian Opposition . There is, but right now, it doesnt control much territory. It has been squeezed between isil on the one hand and the assad regime on the other. These are the people that you said, the farmers, the doctors, the pharmacists, who stood, no chance of overthrowing the government well, keep in mind two years ago, this was absolutely true. This is in response to the methodology thats evolved, that somehow if we had given those folks some guns 2 1 2 years ago, that syria would be fine. And the point that i made then which is absolutely true is that for us to just start arming inexperienced fighters who we hadnt vetted so we didnt know and couldnt sort out very well whos potentially isil or al nusra and who is somebody were going to work with. For us to just go blind on that would have been counterproductive and would not have helped the situation. But what also would have committed us to a month more significant role inside of syria. And the president also said he understands that fighting isis could help another u. S. Opponent syrian president bashar assad. But president obama said isis is the bigger threat right now. The coalition, led by the United States, reportedly launched new air strikes inside northern and Eastern Syria this morning. A cbs news team managed to get into syria over the weekend. Holly williams spoke to isis opponents in the small border village of mahmoodin. This morning, hollys in erbil, the capital of iraqs kurdish region. We crossed two days ago to meet with a rag tag Army Fighting off isis militants. Theres something very surprising and very unusual here in the middle east about many of its soldiers. So those hills are syria . In a journey to the syrian front like, our convey came under fire. We took cover in a village of mud brick huts. Where the shooting continued. Isis had been attacking the village for nearly a month. The militants are just a mile away and most of the residents have fled. But this commander is still here holding out against the islamic extremists. And he led us to safety. Commander hussein has just 40 soldiers to combat isis. 10 of them are women. Some of them teenagers. Its not enough, the commander told us but its all i have. Are your female soldiers are they good fighters . Theres no difference between the men and the women, he said. Some of the women are better fighters than i am. At 19 years old, akina akin is already battle hardened. I isis have kidnapped women. Forcing women to marry their commanders. Are you frightened about what might happen if youre captured . Im not afraid, she told us. Ill blow myself up before i let them catch me. Theyre desperately unequipped. Guns either captured from isis or bought on the black market. Commander hussein told us he hopes the u. S. Will come to the rescue. If isis defeats us he said their next target will be europe and america. The fighters in the village told us the u. S. Led air strikes against isis in syria have so far very little impact on the ground. Like many people in this part of the world, they would like to see more of them. Charlie. Holly, thanks. In our next hour republican congressman paul ryan joins us. He reacts to the president s 60 minutes interview and will ask ryan if he think, Congress Needs to approve any further action against isis. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. American troops are going to stay in afghanistan into next year, a Senior Adviser to president obama said. The new Afghan Government will sign an agreement tomorrow. It keeps about 10,000 americans there after the International Combat mission in afghanistan ends on december 31st. Afghanistans new president was sworn in this morning after an election deadlock that lasted for months. Air travelers still face delays this morning going in and out of chicago. And air Traffic Control center outside of the city is out of commission because of an act of sabotage. The problem is grounding passengers all over the country. This could go on for weeks. At the international airport, where more than 400 flights this morning alone are canceled. Reporter good morning to our viewers in the west. Our flight getting here to chicago was delayed last late night, but we were fortunate compared to some passengers whos flights were canceled. People are lining up to get out of town. Four days after a fire allegedly set by contract worker brian howard destroyed the Communication Center at this critical air Traffic Control facility outside chicago, commercial aviation is still trying to regain its footing. In a statement sunday the national air Traffic Controllers association called the last several days one of the most challenging situation they faced since 9 11. At chicagos ohare airport, 550 flights were canceled sunday. 700 flights nationwide. The faa says the arrivals and departures were at only 60 of a typical day out of ohare. 75 at midway. In order to keep flights moving air Traffic Control centers in cleveland, indianapolis kansas city and minneapolis have taken over the chicago centers responsibility s responsibilities. Its the faas approach to keeping the system working. Is this the best backup plan they can come up with . I think the suggestion you have a duplicate system everywhere, the costs would be astronomical. Reporter Additional Air Traffic Controllers have been brought in to monitor and direct arrivals and departures out of chicago and neighboring airports. The cost is adding up for the airlines. Even though some of the major carriers say the beginning of the workweek should bring fewer delays and cancellations. Still, the incident is raising questions for the faa. I think the question of allowing one man being able to do this is really a thing that has to be investigated very closely. We are seeing more delays and cancellations this morning. The faa says the new equipment will be brought in over the next few days and its teams will be installing it around the clock. Theyve said a completion date for october 18th, thats two weeks away. The suspect is in custody. Hes facing a felony charge. Hes recovering from a selfinflicted knife wound. Prodemocracy demonstrators are blocking the main road this morning in hong kong.

Look at the supplies they brought. Food. Plenty of it. Water as well. Its incredibly hot here. The sense is this is almost a generational struggle. All of these people are very very young. High School Students some of them some from university some of them young professionals, all calling for the same thing. Theyre calling for the right to vote. They dont want their leader chosen by the communist party in beijing. They want to be able to choose their leader themselves. That there is the financial heart of hong kong island. Central as its known. Its completely blocked today. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened at a twomonth low. Because of it. The americans and around the world i think are watching very closely. The u.

A normal virus takes selfdayveral days and you get sicker or sicker. Well this virus is 0 to 60 in less than 24 hours and classly most of the kids dont have fever. They just present with difficulty breathing. Be aware, if your child is sick at all keep them home. Dont let them go there. We have to stop the spread of this virus.
