With the bodies of migrants. The volunteers helping families find lost loved ones. Can we talk . And joan rivers remembering the life, and the laughter of a trail blazing comedy legend. For the first time in months there is talk of peace in eastern ukraine. That president and the to believe rebel leaders say a cease fire could begin as early as tomorrow, if talk goss as planned. Today nato leaders meeting in wales call on russia to immediately withdraw its troops. Moscow denied the troops are even there. And in eastern ukraine, fierce fighting. Harry faucet, with exclusive new video. On the day motte said there were several thousand troops and armored vehicles, this is what we saw heading down the road from the russian are border. We counted 11 battle tanks, two armored personnel carriers and multilaunch rocket system, and several mobile pieces with a range of 50kilometers. All passing the town, heading into ukrainian territory. This is the main move toward the border. We were stopped at the first chien point by a very professional group of fighter whose have three main battle tanks at that check point. One of them giving instructions on how to wristwatch set to a russian time zone. And apart from the convoy, a military vehicles coming the other way, we have seen no military installation before getting to the russian border. Now, we are being told that the travel back down this road, is simply too dangerous. Then the shells were coming down close to the main defenses already looking seriously outgunned. Demetris unit further advanced had come under direction fire, losing an armored carrier, he has no doubt who his men are fighting. It is the regular russian army. Because its a few maybe terrorists, but the most of them is regular soldiers. Putin is talking about a cease fire, and you are being hit by artillery. Everybody can see what we can say. The extra unseen defenses that the ukrainian politician have talked of. We havent seen them either. The man in the blue suit is the politician in question, the kiev backed governor, now in exile. I am sure that with tanks and machine guns they dont plan to make any peaceful negotiations surely they want to seize this territory. But they dont have much chance of success. Both sides are now talking about a cease fire. The question is whether by then, mario will still be in ukrainiannd has or will it succumb, where the government poster in the main square, already looked like a historic relic. And an earlier receive yet era, is twitching back to life. Harry faucet, al jazeera, south eastern ukraine. Of course, the crisis in ukraine dominated day one of the nato summit underway. But its just one of many conflicts World Leaders are talking about, james base has that story. And thats because of the range of crisis across the world they have to deal with. Top of the agenda, is the situation in ukraine. Typical balancing act for the nato leaders also for the president of ukraine, whose present here, trying to deter russia, and yet at the same time, not further antagonize president putin. In the nighting in ukraine, probably as nearly as many now, as there are separatist who are a part of that fight, too. Now, they have come one a package of measures, support for the ukrainian military, training help, helping rehabilitate those soldiers that are being wounded in the conflict. Also, a new very Rapid Reaction force, the Rapid Reaction forces will be known as the spearhead force, about 4,000 troops able to deploy within two days. As well as ukraine, a number of other issues including the Islamic State group, and their very brutal tactics. And discussions about what to do with syria, nato leaders are all deeply concerned and i can tell you, that one issue that has come up is the payment of ransomes which some leaders believe have been paid by other nato countries. Its believed that some 280 million has been paid since 2008. By nato nations. The u. K. Prime minister, is saying enough is enough, this is just encouraging further hostage taking and he is urging his fellow leaders to stop paying. Its membership has grown, and challenges have changes. Randall pinkston has more on the past and its future the fall of the berlin wall, marked the beginning of a new role for nato. The north atlantic treaty organization. Initially, the u. S. , canada, and western europe formed nato to counter the threat from the soviet union, and its communist block nationed. This was the Political Landscape at the end of the cold war. Nato nations in blue, the soviet union and its allies in red. But today the alliances are vastly different. It now include many that were former allies including poland and the baltic republics. But some of the old conflicts the threat to the you drain and new crisis from afghanistan to the Islamic State pose new challenges for the old alliance. And wales with one of the most beyond the defense for its members. In 1995, and again in 1999, nato launched air strikes in the former yugoslavia after allegations of war crimes. Major disaster is occurring this morning. Roof the attack, nato declared the war on terror, sending military forces to afghanistan where they remain to this day. But despite that, they both remain in turmoil. Some Member States are urging a more aggressive response to the ukraine crisis as well as to the threat from the Islamic State in iraq. I do believe, International Community as a whole, has an obligation. To symptom the Islamic State from addens vanceing. Further. Nato secretary says an expanded role for the organization will require more defense funding for Member States, more trains exercising and new partnerships. Now kirk is a former am was door and the executive director of the Mccain Institute for international leadership, kurt, welcome. Thank you. As nato leaders sit down for talks, putin is calling their must have, what do you mean by that . Well, that they are talking about rush are sha invading and being jut set by that, but they are not doing anything about it. That no one is willing to challenge rush are shas invasion of ukraine. Instead, nato is preparing to defend the ball tick states creating this response force. A few countries that are increasing defense spending. Put nothing immediately. And he knows that. Seeing that nato is not going to respond in any direct way, and then he will keep going. And he is basically proving to nato, and also frankly proving to the ukrainians that they cant count on nato to come to their educated even with russia in an active invasion. Do you think nato and the europeans are worried that rush are sha will retaliate economically either on germany or cut off the supply of natural gas. I think the Energy Supply issue is one. Let alone the military side. When you talk about steps like i suggested that would be bell jens sharing trainers for the military, advisers in the ministry of defense, equipment sales. Tactical advice, perhaps even reenforcement from the air and ground. Those military steps are are things that many nato ally dozen not want to do, because they do not want to actually engage in any kind of military confrontation with russia. Ambassador, how seriously should nato take the suggestion from the rush president that potential Peace Agreement is near . Not at all. The reason for suggesting that there is a process of negotiation, is exactly to influence western leaders into thinking they should not therefore take any tough steps. What if they were to upset this process thats just beginning. So there is no deal . Manipulating that very well. Mrs. There is no deal. Well, it is not a deal, it is a proposal, and he made that up. But there is no deal between the ukrainians and the russians, what you heard from the president is there was agreement on the cease fire. You immediately heard theres no. Which is not true, then the russians say theres a peace plan that putin has proposed. But that plan is emphatically one sided in favor of russia, telling them they cant even have their own forces in their own country. What kind of man power do you envision, and who is going to foot the bill . And who is paying their share and who is not . So first off, with nato, you have two ways of funding, one of them is individual nations and its alliance. 28 individual nations. They bring them to the table, you pay as you go. The second part is theres some common funds and military budget. And there are the u. S. Pays about 20 the european allies pay about 80 . What we have seen, is that on the national site, where nations pay for their own Defense Budgets european allies have cut dramatically. When you add it all together, the u. S. Accounts for half, now it accounts for threequarters. That needs to change. It cannot be in europe or what we would say to an american taxpayer or Congress Mapp that the u. S. Cares more about European Security than europeans. So we do have to reverse this trend. There have beenal steps. So if putin is calling what can they do about it . Very important, the we should not overlook them. The idea of increasing the Baltic States renewing the commitment under the alliance treetop p an attack on one is an attack on all, creation of this force, additional exercises and a more serious approach to defense planning for the east. All of that is very important. But what nato is not done is anything to help ukraine, and thats where i think nato needs to go next. Advisers, equipment, and even offer reenforcement. It is their fight to win, they have to defend their territory, but they need help. Ambassador, thank you very much. Thank you. In iraq, the so called Islamic State group is launching new attacks even as it is losing ground, there are reports the group kidnapped dozens of men from a sunni village today. Soldiers are battling to take back the city for the fourth time since they creased in june. They helped to push the fighters back, and today iraq set a top Group Commander died in a strike, but that report has not been confirmed. The fight has some women taking up arms. To battle along the force known as the p. K. K. Josh rushing has that story. We have linked one a unit of the p. K. K. This happens to be mostly women, and led by a woman as well. Asia star, and they brought us over to show us the front line. With the Islamic State. When commander knewer pointed out the black flag across the way, she noticed something extraordinary happening. Two women, one carrying a child, were crossing no mans land, coming toward nervous p. K. K. Fighters. Today, they were allowed to pass, with miles to go before they will find the nearest doctor for the child. We are surprised to find p. K. K. Fighters so far south of their mountain strong hold. These kurdish rebels have struggled against turkey for years from their remote bases in northern iraq. In iraqi curd islamic stan there has been a war, until now we havent taken a position, but now we see it as very important as pkk to be here. We are here to protect our people. The most harmed people is women. But all women in the world. We do this to protect womens rights because if there is no one protecting women, they are likely to be the victims. Even if a woman is suffering in america, we share her feelings. And we are are sharing for her. Mortars in the distance reenforce her point. Since 2003, after the invasion of the u. S. , there hasnt been any improvement in iraq, there are always explosions death and blood. The only solution at the moment is war. There are no alternatives. That was josh rushing report, and you can get more of the report from iraq, coming up on america tonight thats right after this program, after the top of the hour. Coming up next, volunteers in the immigration cries us and the desperate sedge for those that start adjournny to america, but never finished. Plus. Angelina with the big fat lips. Oh. She called them as she saw them. A look back at the life of joan rivers. A local sheriff says 400 migrants have died there since 2009, trying to avoided Border Patrol agents. His department estimated five times as many people walked into the dessert and were never seen again. Brooks drown employs just a few Law Enforcement officials and thats why relatives of the missing rely on a pair of unlikely volunteers to sedge for their loved ones. Heidi joe castro has the story. The phone has been ringing every morning for the past week. On theline, a uatemalaen father whose 20yearold son disappeared in a south texas dessert a month ago. The young man has been making his way to minnesota to reunite with a father he hadnt seen for ten years. Has no clue what has happened to him. Border patrol is swamped here. And the sheriffs autopsy has only four deputies. That leaves the south texas human rights center, with staff of two full time volunteers, as the last beacon of hope for migrant families. A catholic none from ohio arrived three weeks ago to help. She is trying to find where he disappeared. They are zero training for this, what they do have is drive. And informed guess work. Maybe we go out to this road, whatever it is. Another migrant, told julios father he has fainted from exhaustion, the companion left him under a tree. Close to some hills and a water source. That was a month ago, in 100degree heat, with no food or water, theres no chance of survival. And they are searching for a body. How far away from the road do you think it is. 1. 8miles is what it says. On that same road we were on. Yes. We hit the road to retrace his last known steps. This was the intersection where they got out of the car. He had already walked more than 20miles in the dessert, he must have been relieved to see a smugglers car waiting on this highway. They thought he was already safe, and ready to finish the last leg, and then the cargoes sputters out, and before you know it, he is on foot. A my saw the migrants and chased. Julio ran for an hour, until he collapsed somewhere in the endless scrub. Do you think theres any water. Its logical a desperate person may got this way, but we find no body. Careful where you step. What only i looking for. Well, you just want to be careful with your step. All right. And keep your sense of smell. The chances are like winning the lottery, because this land is so vast. Minutes later we spot another place that seems to fill the other migrants description, a popped, a hill, a tree, and here on the ground a discarded jacket, and if you follow me, this could potentially be a break through. A shallow grave. Theres some bones there. Theres a lot of them buried here. A closer look, reveals they are just cattle. But another day without answers is another day of torment for julios father. If you were dead your parents would be looking for you, until the day of their death. We just want to ease their burdens. Of the 20 some cases they have received this summer, they found two bodies. They have never found anyone alive. But a serj is never called off. Because it comforts families to know that someone cares. He may have i dont know, been Strong Enough to move. And is looking. Julio still has not been found. But a bit of help may be coming. The gnash guard who are now making their way to the border say some have volunteer for these search and rescue missions. Now, they say if this materializes, they will welcome the help. John. Tomorrow, be sure to join us for a one hour special. The impact of the flood of undocumented and what the impact has had on this country, and is search for a solution to the crisis. Thats tomorrow night, 8 00 and 11 00 eastern time. We hope you will joan us. The flood of migrants has included tens of thousands of unaccompanied children, and like American Children they are headed baaing to school and that means that School Districts are having to adapt. Melissa chen has that story. Mario is 15 and like most getting ready for school. I came here to learn in school. He starting school here at San Francisco international high, 3,000miles from the home he left behind. He risks his life to come to america. In mexico, it bumps much more difficult, because there things change, there are thieves that rob you, you may even sleep on the streets and it is difficult, but when you get to the boarder, you have to walk a lot and be strong, because then theres the dessert. Many here have a similar story, and every student is new to the country, every student, is learning english. Many show up alone, without parents without absolutely nothing. Sometimes they are renting a room. They have seen more than 1,000 new immigrant students enroll this september. Part of the National Influx of more than 66,000 unaccompanied children who have crossed the border. The spike has come from central america, el salvador, guatemala, and honduras. Mario came to San Francisco looking for an uncle but he now lives with a foster family. One collage one irony is that many students escaped Gang Violence back this their home country, only to find gang culture here in San Francisco. In places like the mission district. If they avoided gangs advocates feel they may have success. These students are different. We work with some of the most motivated intelligent students. They have navigated countries and borders they have managed to navigate systems so much bigger than this. Mario says that the journey was difficult and dangerous, he is glad he is here. It is like entering a new world. Everything. Your way of life changes. The dream attend a community college, and become a mechanic. And just to add little bit more about San Francisco, international highway it is a regular high school, these students are not just learning english and then transferring to so called regular high school, they are learning english while working toward as degree in graduating with a high school diploma, they tell us 80 of the students graduate and of those that do graduate, 70 go on to college whether its a four year or a two Year Associates degree. Quite an achievement, melissa chen, thank you. Up next, the Justice Department
