Several flights are due to be canceled today. Also coming up for you this hour, what do pop music communism, and drove kerry having, and you go an 80yearold french festival. We will take a closer look at why netflix is getting such a frosty welcome here in france. But first, top officials are in paris to try to come up with a plan to fight the rise of Islamic State militants. The group was behind the beheading of a third western hostage this weekend. Here is more from french president francois hollande. Let me remind you that for the past three years, the Syrian Crisis has killed 200,000 people. 200,000. The chaos helped terrorists, so we must support those who will negotiate and make the compromises next very to preserve the future of syria. For france, those forces are the democratic opposition. A must be aided in every way possible. But our International Affairs editor is at that conference and joins us now. Was the goal to get as broad a coalition up and moving as quickly . What success has it made and what has happened not happened so far . It was just a start. Harris has become the onestop shop when it comes to foreign diplomacy for international crises. We saw president Nicolas Sarkozy housing hosting numerous conferences here. This is along the same lines. It is france stepping up to the plate saying he doesnt want to play second fiddle to the u. S. And has an Important Role to play tulsa by virtue of its diplomatic tradition its geography, and its ties with a lot of this region in this media crisis. There were a lot of very strong words today, helping iraq in terms of humanitarian aid, helping the kurdish army, giving them the military equipment that they need to face the threat from the socalled Islamic State. But in terms of what is really needed with airstrike contributions and troops on the ground, i will talk about the second one first. Troops in the ground, on the ground, no one can handle that better than those who are there, those in syria, the kurdish. The u. S. They are ready to go with airstrikes and have been doing it already in a rack. In iraq. And we did see france launching reconnaissance flights to get possible positions. But as far as who is participating in the airstrikes at this point, its really just the u. S. Other countries have been willing to help in other ways, perhaps lending intelligence logistics aid. It will be a long, tough struggle getting a coalition together that can last for long term. And barack obama was very clear that this will not take a day or a week, but months or years. And that is where it all starts today, the gritty work of getting these people together and looking to see who can do what, defining the roles of each participant. But lets lets go now to the Central African republic, where the u. N. Is taking the reins of the peacekeeping there. Rolling in more troops tracks, and essentials for a new u. N. Peacekeeping michigan. Mission. In a transfer of power from the african led peacekeeping mission , the u. N. Is the peacekeeping force. A step that brings hope to the residents. I say this will make the situation better than it has been. There were already african troops on the ground and some 1500 others have joined them in the past month from around the world. But the number could double by the end of the year. Some 2000 french soldiers will also stay in the country. The u. N. Mission will initially be deployed in four strategic areas, but could eventually extend 45 different sites. It was set up last april to help the Transitional Government regain some control. We hope this deployment will put an end to speculation about future division of the Central African republic, speculation that we rigorously condemned. The current conflict began in march, 2013. Since then, thousands of muslims and christians have been killed by warring militias. According to the u. N. In the past year, some 500,000 people have been internally displaced command 400,000 more have fled to neighboring countries. The u. N. Mission is now to try to help one of africas poorest nations get back on its feet while working to put an end to the continued violence. Some 200 Israeli Intelligence veterans rally to defend their unit this sunday, this after dozens of the same Israeli Intelligence unit said they refused to operate in palestinian territories. The 43 soldiers cited moral reasons for their objections in an open letter to the israeli Prime Minister. The unit specializes in electronic surveillance. The trip said some of their units work is to stop palestinians from leading normal lives and only prolongs the conflict. Strict ethical standards are imposed on the unit. Here is more. At highprofile display of protest against Israeli Security policies. 43 Conscientious Objectors have spoken out against tasks they work specter to carry out within israels top electronic surveillance unit. If you are a homosexual and we find out you are a militant, you make your lives miserable. They claim their unit surveillance goes far beyond selfdefense and has become about controlling the people and prolonging the conflict. An open letter from the 43 soldiers was dismissed by the military as a publicity stunt by a small wrench and condemned by the government. A small fringe and condemned by the government. It is based on claims that do not match the moral values of the unit and its people. It is a despicable attempt at the delegitimization of israel. They are responsible for the likes of code breaking and phone tapping. For such a large group from such a prestigious unit to do this is unprecedented. Air france is being hit by what could be the most disruptive pilot strike at the airline in 16 years. The Company Expects to cancel over half of its flights today. Charlotte hawkins joins us from Charles De Gaulle airport. How bad are things today . Collects 212 flights have been canceled out of 500. 212 flights have been canceled out of 500. Elsewhere in france commenced even worse, some three quarters of flight canceled in marseille 80 into loose in two oulouse. People have arrived from all over the world and find they cannot leave. Trying to find slides for tomorrow is looking more difficult as the strike is set to continue and fewer file its fewer pilots will be flying tomorrow and those that have love to have been advised again not to work tomorrow. Why again are the air france pilots so angry . The thing is, air france is looking to expand its Lowcost Airline in a way to try to compete with other airlines. With the pilots are frustrated with is that air france wants to manage the two companies separately. The pilots are worried that they will be transferred to the lower cost airline, and in fact, some of them will be. They work longer hours, some 700 hours a year, where in air france, its only 565. And they have lower wages. The pilots do not want that. They wanted all to be run in the same company together and they want to maintain their rights they have been air france they have at air france. The number of immigrants found dead in a shipwreck last week has been the vice up to 500. The boat went down last thursday near malta. Two palestinians were plucked from the water by an italian freighter. They said there had been about 500 people on board the vessel. They also added that it had been sunk on purpose by traffickers. While some people in scotland ahead of the referendum vote are separating into welldefined camps, whether no or yes for independence, closer to the border it is far less clear. Here is more. A typical scottish wedding for an english couple. I cannot imagine we would have found this anywhere. Couples have been crossing the border for centuries. Many are worried about what Scottish Independence could meet for their livelihoods. As a scotsman, my heart tells me yes. As a businessman, my head is saying no, because i feel like we would lose out on people crossing the borders. He is not alone and others are in doubt, too. If you have to have a tab a passport, its going to ruin the place. Good times and bad times, we stick together. Sticking together is the message in the border town nearby. It shows people invested in the unit on the north and the south and the south end it comes down to the efforts of a british mp. I am scottish and i represent an english constituency. There are a million scots living in england. There are a million english living in scotland. Suddenly, will be foreigners in each others country. You are splitting families and forcing people to choose identities. The messages whether the thoughts will be heard farther north. In paris, support for iraq by any means necessary, including military. The french president says there is no time to lose in the fight against the Islamic State organization. It is Prime Minister David Cameron is making a lastditch effort to visit scotland to try to drum up the no vote. The referendum on independence is just three days away. And air france kicked off what could be its worst strike in 16 years. Half of all flights are being canceled today. Lets take a look at what the newspapers have been saying around the world. We have nicholas with us on set. Lets start with the wall street journal. It is leading on its front page and its european addition with the european addition with the horrific actions of the Islamic State over the weekend. The article explains that at this point David Cameron, the british Prime Minister, is not thinking of recalling parliament until midoctober. And there was another hostage other than david haynes whose life is also being threatened. And today in paris, as security and peace conference for iraq. 30 countries are there. One is australia. Australia is acting very quickly to calls from president obama to react with this international coalition. And the quote in this article war on death cold is from war on death cult is actually from the australian Prime Minister. More broadly in the press, i was struck on one piece in the washington post, which is talking against the wind of what we are thinking about the Islamic State. Look at that headline the Islamic State thread is overstated. It is an opinion piece and it argues that it is so barbaric that it will never catch on with the mass population. Yes, it has filled people would fear and that is why they ought to act diplomatically rather than militarily. A strong opinion piece. The ongoing crisis surrounding the outbreak of ebola. A liberian paper is talking about aids and ebola being the cause of american scientists being so scarce. Another article talks about the fight is lost, and that is based on an interview with the german biologist who has said that all of the efforts to fight ebola should have been carried out back in may and june. It is now too late and up to 5 Million People in liberia and sierra leone, their lives could be threatened. I was staggered by that statistics. The reaction within the article itself is very much to calm that and would it into perspective. The World Health Organization is quoted as saying, well no, we can get the situation in control in the next six to nine months. Sticking with that, a piece in the guardian by the former australian Prime Minister, julia gillard. She believes about 20,000 people in about 20 countries are in threat in the long term. She sees that as credible. She is focusing on education. She said liberians make great strides, but with his evil outbreak, it is the advance in education and the country is now a threat. The schools will be closed as of the first of october. It seems like a short time, but the long term redshirting shutting down the schools is a problem. Queen elizabeth was out of church on sunday morning and came and talked to wellwishers. She is on holiday in. Morrow on holiday in scotland. She said you have to think about the future and think carefully. Many turn to a canadian paper which is giving advice to voters saying, from where we are in canada, our first Prime Minister was scottish and our second was scottish. But what we have learned from quebec is dont create divisions if you can help it. And they are urging scotland to stay within the u. K. And fight for change, just as you fought for change with the Prime Minister of canada. The first minister of scotland is pushing weight as far as independence is concerned. He is smiling, but also sweating. Will we have enough votes to push the bar up above his head . It is an interesting story. Thank you so much for that. Lets take a look at sports now. Overcoming the unrest of their own crowd to almost the top of the friends league. Almost the top of their league one. I played against a team that was compact and well disciplined and we wanted to get a good result. We tried to make against make a gap against them, and make it different when your opponent is a little less careful, which made a difference when we started the second half. I felt we had a little lack of confidence at home. The crowd has to help us in this matter. They are booing the younger players and putting pressure on them. That is not good. In england, a new season. Chelsea lead the way. I have said to the players before the match, we have to make a new start today. We have made goals and we have created chances. Our goal is to be in the first three because we have to qualify ourselves in the Champions League stop in the Champions League. The most important thing i dont know the pronunciation of the word.

I did it. The usa is still a top basketball site in the world. Kerry irving scored the top 26 points for the u. S. This was the fifth world title. We had spurts of dominance in a lot of games and we had tough games. And all of a sudden, we would have a spurt and it looked like we nominated dominated. Tonight, it look like about a 35 minute spurt. Tonight, we played great. Nobody expected us, i think. We were just going from day one until now. The results here, we were all disappointeted because we are all competitors, but we have to congratulate the usa team. They were the best in this competition and they deserve this gold and they really kicked our butts tonight.
