Of some vast pieces of countryside from syria into iraq. Now, u. S. Air assets are in the skies over iraq and syria right now. Were already in this fight which brings us to the address tonight and our political director moderator of meet the press chuck todd. The president just told you he was going to prepare the country tonight but for what . Hes going prepare the country for whats going to be a lengthy style of war that hes been conducting over the last six years. This war against isis. This terrorist group in iraq and syria. Hes going combat them the same way hes gone after al qaeda in places like yemen, afghanistan, ungoverned parts. His hope is over time they can degrade it. Well see. The president approaching the podium. Li heres the president. My fellow americans, tonight i want to speak to you about what the United States will do with our friends and allies to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as isil. As commander in chief, my highest priority is the security of the American People. Over the last several years weve consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country. We took out Osama Bin Laden and much of al qaedas leadership in afghanistan and pakistan. We targeted al qaedas affiliate in yemen and recently eliminated the Top Commander of its affiliate in somalia. Weve done so while bringing more than 140,000 american troops home from iraq and drawing down our forces in afghanistan where our combat mission will end later this year. Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, america is safer. Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat. We cant erase every trace of evil from the world and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9 11 and that remains true today and thats why we must remain vigilant as threats emerge. At this moment, the greatest threats come from the middle east and north africa where radical groups exploit grievances for their own gain and one of those groups is isil, which calls itself the islamic state. Now, lets make two things clear. Isil is not islamic. No religion condones the killing of innocence and the vast majority of isils victims have been muslim. Isil is certainly not a state. It was formerly al qaedas affiliate in iraq and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and syrias civil war to gain territory on both sides of the iraq syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor by the people it subje subje subjectates. It has no vision other than slaughter of those that stand in its way. In a region thats known so much bloodshed, these terrorists are unique in their brutality. They execute captured prisoners. They kill children. They enslave, rape and force women into marriage. They threaten the religious minority with genocide and in acts of barberism, they took the lives of two americans. Isil poses a threat to the people of iraq and syria and the broader middle east. If left unchecked, these terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond that region including to the United States. While we have not yet detected specific plotting against our homeland, isil leaders have threatened america and our allies. Our Intelligence Community believes that thousands of foreigners including europeans and some americans have joined them in syria in iraq, trained, these fighters could try to return to their home countries and carry out deadly attacks. I know Many Americans are concerned about these threats. Tonight, i want you to know that the United States of america is meeting them with strength and resolve. Last month i ordered our military to take targeted action against isil to stop its advances. Since then weve conducted more than 150 Successful Air strikes in iraq. These strikes have protected american personnel if facilities, killed isil fighters, destroyed weapons, and given space for iraqi and Kurdish Forces to reclaim key territory. These strikes have also helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men, women and children. But this is not our fight alone. American power can make a decisive difference but we cannot do for iraqis what they must do for themselves. Nor can we take the place of partners in securing their region. Thats why i insisted that additional u. S. Action dependent on iraqis forming an inclusive government, which they have now done in recent days. So tonight with a new Iraqi Government in place and following consultations with allies abroad and congress at home, i can announce that america will lead a Broad Coalition to rollback this terrorist threat. Our objective is clear. We will degrade and ultimately destroy isil through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. First, we will conduct a Systematic Campaign of air strikes against these terrorists. Working with the Iraqi Government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions so that were hitting isil targets as iraqi forces go on offense. Moreover, i made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. That means i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency. If you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. Second, we will increase our support to forces fighting these terrorists on the ground. In june i deployed several hundred American Service members to iraq to assess how we can best support Iraqi Security forces. Now that those teams have completed their work and iraq formed a government, well send an initial 475 Service Members to iraq. As i said before, these American Forces will not have a combat mission. We will not get dragged into another ground war in iraq, but they are needed to support iraqi and Kurdish Forces with training, intelligence and equipment. Well also support iraqs efforts to stand up National Guard units to help them secure their own freedom from isils control. Across the border in syria, we have ramped up our military assistance to the syrian opposition. Tonight i call on congress again to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters. The fight against isil we cannot rely on assad regime that terrorizes its own people. A regime that will never regain the legitimacy it lost. We must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like isil while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve syrias crisis once and for all. Third, we will continue to draw on our substantial counterterrorism capabilities to prevent isil attacks. Working with our partners, well redouble our efforts to cut off its funding, improve our intelligence, strengthen our defenses, counter its warped ideology and stem the throw of fighters into and out of the middle east and ill chair a meeting of the Union Security council to mobilize the International Community around this effort. Fourth, we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to innocent civilians who have been displaced by this terrorist organization. This includes sunni and shia muslims who are at grave risk and tens of thousands of christians and other religious minorities. We cannot allow these communities to be driven from the ancient homelands. This is our strategy. In each of these four parts of our strategy, america will be joined by a Broad Coalition of partners. Already allies are flying planes with us over iraq, sending arms and assistance to Iraqi Security forces and the syrian opposition, sharing intelligence and providing billions of dollars in humanitarian aid. Secretary kerry was in iraq today meeting with the new government and supporting their efforts to promote unity and in the coming days hell travel across the middle east and europe to enlist more partners in this fight especially arab nations who can help mobilize sunni communities in iraq and syria to drive these terrorists from their lands. This is American Leadership at its best. We stand with people who fight for their own freedom and we rally other nations on behalf of our Common Security and common humanity. My administration has also secured bipartisan support for this approach here at home. I have the authority to address the threat from isil, but i believe we are strongest as a nation when the president and Congress Work together. So i welcome congressional support for this effort in order to show the world that americans are united in confronting this danger. Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like isil and any time we take military action, there are risks involved especially to the service men and women who carry out these missions. I want the American People to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. It will not involve american combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This Counterterrorism Campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our airpower and our support for Partner Forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that weve successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years and its consistent with the approach i outlined earlier this year to use force against anyone that threatens americas core interest but to use partners for international order. My fellow americans, we live in a time of great change. Tomorrow marks 13 years since our country was attacked. Next week marks six years since our economy suffered its worst setback since the great depression. Yet despite the shocks through the pain we felt and gruelling work required to bounce back, america is better positioned today to see the future than any other nation on earth. Our Technology Companies and universities are unmatched. Our manufacturing and Auto Industries are thriving. Energy independence is closer than its been in decades. For all of the work that remains, our businesses are in the longest, uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our history. Despite all of the divisions and discord with our democracy, i see the grit and determination and common goodness of the American People every single day. That makes me more confident than ever about our countrys future. Abroad American Leadership is the one constant in an uncertain world. It is america that has the capacity and the will to mobilize the world against terrorists. It is america that has rallied the world against russian aggression and in support of the ukrainian peoples right to determine their own destiny. It is america, our scientists, our doctors, our know how that can help contain and cure the outbreak of ebola. It is america that helped remove and destroy syrias declared chemical weapons. And it is america thats helping muslim communities around the world not just in the tight against terrorism but in the fight for opportunity and tolerance and a who are hopeful future. America, our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden but as americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead from europe to asia, from the far reaches of africa to wartorn capitals in the middle east, we stand for freedom, for justice, for dignity. These are values that have guided our nation since its founding. Tonight i ask for your support in carrying that leadership forward. I do so as a commander in chief who could not be prouder of our men and women in uniform. Pilots who bravely fly in the face of danger above the middle east and Service Members who support our partners on the ground. When we helped prevent the massacre of civilians trapped on a distant mountain, heres what one of them said. We owe our american friends our lives. Our children will always remember that there was someone who felt our struggle and made a long journey to protect innocent people. That is the difference we make in the world. Our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation and uphold the values that we stand for. Timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been bank wished from the earth. May god bless our troops and may god bless the United States of america. Speaking under three hours away from the 13th anniversary of 9 11, another u. S. President does what president bush 41 first did call on the United States to fight as part of a coalition. Weve fought two wars there so no more fighting troops will be sent. Chuck todd, he called them unique in their brutality but im thinking of washington, a city where both sides cant agree on anything. A couple of questions. Any surprises in here to you . What needs to happen next and as we always ask, what could go wrong . I would say the only minor surprise in the speech he made a bold case for american interventionism at the end there about why it is that america has to be the one to do these fights, to lead these charges around the world. What youll see over the next week or two, youll see congress basically coalesce around this plan but there will be some questions, which is what is the Coalition Look Like . Are they really going to put troops on the ground there in syria . Is saudi arabia really going to do that . Will jordan do that . Will uae . To get rid of isis, you have to get rid of them in syria and can do that without helping assad which is in a civil war and someone the president believes lost legitimacy to lead and they hope they can take over territory that the United States ends up helping eradicate of isis. This is the pandoras box of this. Its going to be a great challenge for him and probably, brian, the next president. Chuck todd watching and listening along with us in our Washington Bureau tonight. Thanks. To our audience, more on the web and more on the late local news and more tomorrow morning on today. For our team in new york and washington, brian williams, nbc news. Good evening. Thank you for being with us. Were on a little later than usual because of the president s address on isis. We want to bring you some local headlines now. And we begin with a developing story. Stopped in his tracks. Three days after a Mountain Lion attacked a 6yearold boy in cupertino, fish and wildlife officers believe they have shot and killed the big cat. Derek shore is live in cupertino with more. And officials now awaiting dna test results to confirm its the same Mountain Lion. Reporter thats right. But department of fish and wild officials out here tell us they are almost positive it is indeed the same Mountain Lion that attacked that little boy over the weekend. We want to show you a photo that was put out by dfw just a little bit ago. It is a paw print that was found. This is what touched off the latest element of this search. It was around 9 00 a. M. That they found that paw print. Dogs started tracking the scent. A short time later, they would see the cat. The cat would climb up into a tree, and they would shoot it a short time later. They said the cat was not exhibiting normal behavior. It was not scared, which had them concerned. The cat displayed some extremely aggressive and unusual behavior. Instead of paying attention to the dogs, it crouched down and locked eyes with one of the wardens. And it appeared to be about ready to pounce. So they did shoot it. And they took the carcass to sacramento. Right now, they will be testing that animal for rabies. And that will be the biggest and most important element of all of this. That is because obviously that little boy is being treated for rabies because they did not have the cat in custody. Of course they will also be doing dna testing to make sure that it is the right cat. Well have much more on this tonight at 11 00. For now, in the hills above cupertino, nbc bay area news. Now to the growing Domestic Violence crisis in the nfl. Another Major Development tonight. Was there a coveup of the ray rice video . Nfl commissioner Roger Goodell said he had no knowledge of the graphic video until this week. But late today the Associated Press reporting a Law Enforcement official sent a copy of that tape to nfl headquarters five months ago. Nbc bay areas robert honda is joining us now. This story not just about the crime anymore, but now a possible coverup. Reporter well, thats right. A National Conference on sports ethics will be taking place here at Santa Clara University tomorrow morning. And as we reported on our 5 00 newscast, todays developments in the already volatile ray rice case will give them plenty to talk about. And the person in charge of the conference predicts the case will have a Ripple Effect throughout society. Experts on sports ethics say the ray rice case brought a lot of awareness on the problem of Domestic Violence. And todays allegations that the nfl had the incriminating elevator videotape months ago will put a spotlight on whether the league was truly committed to addressing the problem. Well be waiting to see whether this is a case where the tape was shoved in a drawer by someone or whether it was indeed handed around and then people misrepresented when they got the tape. Reporter the nfl released a statement this afternoon saying, we have no knowledge of this. We are not aware of anyone who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. We will look into it. Numerous groups, including the National Organization for women and next door solutions, are turning up the heat on demands that Roger Goodell resign. That has to be sorted out. There should be an independent investigator come in and sort that out. I absolutely believe that goodell should leave. I mean, clean house. Reporter legal analyst steven clark says all eyes will now turn to 49er Ray Mcdonalds Domestic Violence arrest, and that both cases will have a big impact on the games popularity. With all of the women fans that are participating in the nfl, this is a huge issue for them to get right. Its clear they have now dropped the ball twice and appear to have lied to the public about what they knew about ray rice and what he had done to his fiancee. Reporter and the Ethics Center director also says the nfl case could pave the way for other major sports to develop their own Domestic Violence policies. Live in santa clara, robert honda, nbc bay area news. Here are the key events that got us here. In february, rice was arrested by new Jersey Police shortly after the attack. In may, rice pleaded not guilty to assault. He then agreed to a program that would clear him of any criminal charges. In july, commissioner goodell suspended rice for two games. But on august 28, the nfl changed its policy on domestic abuse, making it a minimum sixgame suspension. But rices suspension, it should be noted, remained at two games until this week, when he was suspended indefinitely. Coming up at 6 45, the nfl doesnt have a policy on treating Domestic Violence allegations, so how do other professional leagues hand tell . Well take a look in our reality check.

Reporter herman was frantic. He had just finished some yard work when he saw a black acura plow into a group of special needs students and their teachers. The group had just crossed the street and was on the sidewalk when the car swerved off the road. The lady just hit the windshield. She stayed there. And another student just hit the windshield and he just blew on the back of the car. Reporter the School District says the special needs students from Hillsdale High School were on their daily walk when the accident happened. I think initially, we were just in shock. We cant believe that in such a peaceful neighborhood this accident of this nature can happen. Reporter a student teacher, a 28yearold woman from belmont, suffered head trauma and broken bones. The three injured boys, ages 15, 16, and 18, suffered cuts, abrasions, and other injuries. The driver, a 53yearold man, suffered minor injuries in the crash. Cabanas says just after the accident, the driver appeared to realize what he had done. He got out of the car and walked around, seen like everybody on the floor. And i think i saw his expression like he says, what i just did . I just killed people. Reporter despite all the injuries, everyone is expected to survive. Police say they do not believe this is a deliberate act on the part of the driver, and theres no word yet on if alcohol or drugs played a factor or if the driver will face any charges.

Reporter johnson told her mother, youve got to go to the hospital. She kept saying, im fine. I have a dull headache, but im fine. I dont want to go to the hospital.

She basically had a hemorrhage, and she was gone. Reporter johnson is haunted by the thought that bringing her mom to the hospital the day of the quake might have saved her. They could never tell me that getting her there could have changed it because ultimately, the injury itself is an injury. Reporter but today, an emergency room doctor at queen of the valley said, yes, time can make a difference. Unfortunately, there is a period of time where people have what we call a lucid interval.

The california state Water Resources control board says bay area residents slashed water use by an average of 13 in july. The city of livermore is among those leading the way. You rarely say to people in the United States or california you could run out of water and have nothing. And that threat or i think possibility might have been what got peoples attention. Reporter the assistant public works director says they let people know running dry was a distinct possibility as the state threatened to cut the citys water allocation to zero. So they launched an aggressive campaign. Basically, what we did was a very simple message. Cut your outdoor use by 50 . Reporter watering is allowed now just two days a week. Warning letters and recycled waste water have all been part of the mix. Thank you for calling the city of livermore drought hotline. Reporter the city even has a hotline for residents to report water wasters, leading to a whopping 35 cut in livermores water usage. We have really worked hard. And its good to see that its paying off. Reporter the livermore park and Recreation Department is doing its part, letting much of its lawns go brown, and has plans to roll out more Synthetic Turf fields. We dont have to water that grass. It will be available to the kids year round. Reporter but its the citys residents that are really making the difference. This family has cut back dramatically. Lawns are brown, fountains are dry, and pots are now a permanent fixture in the family shower. I try to empty them onto the dry spots on our lawn. We have cut back our watering program. It doesnt look pretty when its this brown, but it will grow back. Reporter and were back here live. This family has an odd address, meaning they can water two times a week, either monday, wednesday, or friday. But as you can see, they have chosen not to water at all. This is a common sight throughout the city. Brown is really the new green here in livermore. The state says, keep it up. Reporting live in livermore, jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. We are learning tonight that educational debt isnt just affecting young adults. A new report shows Student Loan Debt for Senior Citizens is on the rise. The amount of seniors that owe outstanding federal Student Loans increased from nearly 3 billion in 2005 to more than 18 billion last year. The number of seniors facing Student Loan Debt quadrupled between 2004 and 2010. And about 1 4 of Student Loans held by seniors were in default. Typically, Student Loans cant be discharged in bankruptcy. Its a constant fear. And i think by being here, what i hope to accomplish is put the face of the Older Americans with this kind of Student Loan Debt that are going to be very financially vulnerable. She made those comments today as she testified before a committee. California is now the second state in the nation to require most employers to provide workers with sick leave benefits. Today, Governor Brown signed a bill that mandates paid leave for as many as 6. 5 million full and parttime workers. The new law allows workers to accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Supporters say it guarantees workers wont lose their jobs or paycheque che or pa paychecks if they call in sick.
