Im George Howell. The pentagon says u. S. Forces targeted the infamous jihadi john during an air strike in raqqa, syria. Mo ham emwazi has appeared in isis videos showing the murders of hostages. He is a british citizen believed to have been born in kuwait. The pentagon has not publicly confirmed his death. New video appears to show the surviving suicide bomber from thursdays attack in beirut. Two suicide blasts killed more than 40 people and left more than 200 people wounded. A Lebanese National apparently shown here was taken into custody, but cnn cannot independently confirm that videoss authenticity. Kurdish Officials Say pesh merger fighters will be inside iraq, inside the town of sinjar soon to clear explosives and seize it from isis control. They launched a new offensive Late Wednesday to retake the key city and to cut militants supply lines. Russia is trying to awe thent cat an alleged isis video,er threatening attacking inside that country, quote, very soon. The fiveminute video was released thursday. It shows russian cities with chants in russian, promising, that, quote, blood will spill like an ocean. Cnn has not been able to verify the video. Now more on the breaking news that were covering this day. The pentagon says u. S. Forces have targeted the notorious jihadi john. Senior International Correspondent ben wedeman joins us for this story as well. Good to have you with us. If emwazi is dead, how does it play into the broader fight against isis . Its important to keep in mind, george, that emwazi, born in kuwait and growing up in the uk is really even though hes played a very prominent media role with these gruesome beheadings of journalists and aid workers, hes not part of the Leadership Structure of isis, which is made up predominantly of iraqis, including iraqis with experience with saddam husseins security hierk i can. Hierarchy. So in the grand picture, not necessarily a huge role. Theres not going to be huge impact from his killing. But you need to look beyond this particular incident to the broader picture. You see the kurds with u. S. Air support on the offensive in sinjar, west of mosul. You see the kurds within syria also pushing isis back. You see the russians in some instances, hitting isis targets as well. So isis is really beginning to feel the pain from this almost year, rather more than a year of u. S. Led air strikes and this mounting campaign against the organization, separate, of course, from the killing of jihadi john or Mohammed Emwazi, the alleged killing, or the purported killing of him. Jornl . And we dont know yet, ben, its not yet confirmed whether hes dead or not. Of course, were waiting to hear some word from officials on that. Talk to us about the importance, the significance if, in fact, this is true. The significance to the families. Because these brutal videos, they were put out for the world to see. They were out on social media. They were out on youtube. And, you know, these families have had to live with that news and have had to see these videos. What does it mean for them to hear this news . Well, for them in a sense, it means a chapter has been closed. It doesnt really reduce the pain and suffering of the loss of their loved ones, but it means that this man who so brutally beheaded their loved ones, people who had, for instance, gone to syria to cover the war there, who had gone to syria to provide humanitarian aid and, of course, then got captured by isis, and so brutally beheaded. So it represents a certain amount of closure. But it doesnt really rouse the pain that they probably continue b to suffer. Jornl . Ben wedeman live for us in cairo. Thank you for your reporting. We expect the world gorning body for track and field to make a big decision in the coming hours. Russian officials, athletes and coaches are embroiled in a doping scandal. Now russia would be banned from the 2016 olympics because of it. The World Antidoping Agency released a report on monday alleging state sponsored cheating and coverupups in russia. A researcher for the International Center if for defense and security and a former cnn Moscow Bureau chief, good to have you with us. So we have heard from the russian president , Vladimir Putin that he promised an internal investigation into this issue, but this is a pretty important issue to the russian president s heart. Just talk to us about the significance to Vladimir Putin. Well, thats a good question. After all, you know, you look at sports. Its been a very, very important issue for president putin. Not only personally, because hes known as a sportsman, plays a lot of sports. But also symbolically, remember, they had the sochi olympics, which were very political, as well as important. And the stakes are really very high, george. As you mentioned, if they did not go to the rio olympics, that would be a great shame to russia. And so youre getting certain messages. I think the first one would be, there shouldnt be any collective punishment. What russia is saying is, yes, there probably were some problems and, yes, there were individual sports people, you know, on the russian side who did dope, but overall, not all of the athletes should be punished for this. Then they said this information was based on dubious sources, its questionable, its biased, politicized, et cetera. There are people who are not going to want to believe this, the International Context on which russia is being criticized, that i might take it as more criticism against russia. Putin is saying yes, well investigate and other russian officials tempering that somewhat and being rather critical of this report. Is there concern about backlash if russian athletes are, in fact, banned . Well, yes. Its important to note that the sports minister is saying russia will not boycott rio if some of their athletes of of the track and field team is banned. Thats very important. They really want to go. This would be a very big deal if they did not go to rio. Theyre saying no overall boycott, even if some athletes were to be boon banned. Jill, we always appreciate your insights. Thank you very much.

Donl trump spoke to cnns erin burnett about his plan to force millions of Illegal Immigrants if elected president. Mr. Trump has been leading in a number of pole, partly because of his hard line stand on illegal immigration. The republican frontrunner also took aim at his opponent ben carson over stories that mr. Carson has told about his past. Take a listen. He said hes pathological. Other people said he said in the book and i havent seen it, i know its in the book that hes got a pathological temper or temperament. Thats a big problem. You dont cure that. I could say they say, as an example, you dont cure a child molester. You dont cure these people. You dont cure a child molester. So i want to ask you about the immigration fracas going on out there. You put immigration front and center. You wouldnt even be talking about immigration if it wasnt for me. You put it on the table. And you were criticized heavily at the debate. Kasich, jeb bush saying your theyre weak people. I watched jeb today. Theyre weak people. And kasich made a fool out of himself in the debate. How do you take 11 Million People and make them leave. You do it in a process, a very humane manner. Theyre not going to want to leave. Theyre here illegally. If a person comes across the border and the Border Patrol sends them right back, theres not a big court situation, they send them back. What about the guy already living in detroit. Excuse me. Excuse me. Whats the difference for somebody who comes over the border for two days and he gets caught and they bring him back and somebody whos here for a year and you bring him back. There is no difference. Illegal immigration costs us balanced Budget Amendment 200 billion or 300 billion. I dont know if anybody gives you those number, probably not. When you include crime and other problems its more than that. Youre talk about 200 billion, and 300 billion. They pay 24 billion in taxes. Do you really believe they pay taxes . They play social security, local. 10 . Its 24 billion a year. Do you know how few taxes they pay . Dont be naive. Do you believe an ill leem immigrant is going to pay taxes. On this point of humanity, are you going to pay officers to get them out . Were going to be giving notice. Were going to be saying you have to go back to wherever the kocountry is. Its going to be all different countries. U. S. President barack obama is weighing in for the first time on mr. Trumps controversial plan to use a socalled deportation force. To ship millions of undocumented immigrants out of the United States. Mr. Obama describes that as unfeasible and contrary to u. S. Values. Imagine the images on the screen flashed around the world as we were dragging parents away from their children. And putting them in Detention Centers and systematically accepteding them out. Sending them out. Nobody thinks thats real listing, but more importantly, thats not who we are as americans. Mr. Obama say trumps plan would cost the u. S. Billions of dollars and trump is using a proposal to exploit an antiimmigrant sentiment. A judge in utah ruled that a lesbian couples foster child should be taken away from them and given heterosexual parents by tuesday. Now a new group is coming to the foster parents defense.

Im george how pem after gay couple in cnn sf fighting to keep their foster daughter after a juj ruled she should be moved to a home with heterosexual parents. An agency says theres no proof the child would be in better care with straight parents. The foster parents had hoped to adopt the girl, which is permitted under federal law. They spoke with our affiliate, kutv. Listen. Weve been told to care for this child like a mother would, and i am her mother. I mean, thats who she knows. And shes just going to be taken away in seven days. To another probably good loving home, but its just not its not fair and its not right and it just hurts me really badly. Because i havent done anything wrong. Judge Scott Johansson said his decision was based on, quote, information about samesex families in the long run. Right now, the ruling requires that the baby, who has lived with the legally married women since august, that that baby be removed by tuesday. The utah court says it does not comment on pending cases. Joining me now is troy williams, the executive director of equality utah. Troy, good to have you with us. Thank you. So lets talk just a bit about the state of utah utah, a traditionally conservative state that even overturned the ban on gay marriage and passed an antidiscrimination law there. But things are moving in one direction, now this. Talk to us about whats happening in that state. Yeah. In a lot of way, utah is the epicenter of lgbt rights in america. And weve made tremendous progress. As you said, 2013, we were the first red state to overturn a gay marriage ban. We began the dominos where the bans would fall state after state after state. And then this past march, we passed historic nondiscrimination legislation. The first Republicancontrolled Legislature in the nation to do so. And then also, well find out tuesday, but it looks like Salt Lake City will have elected our first lesbian mayor. So in lots of ways, we are taking Great Strides forward. But every time you have great success, theres also a bash lash, and were experiencing it this week in utah. So this ruling certainly is, you know, racing a lot of questions with many people that are asking whats happening in utah. With this couple, i know your group is working with them. How are they handling the news . Yeah. April and becky, they have this beautiful 11yearold foster daughter, but they are a family in crisis right now. They are going through the adoption process. The biological mother wants them to foster and adopt this child. The department of children and Family Services also wants them to do so. But the judge ruled that because they were lesbians, they were unfit to parent. Troy, they have older children, as well, right . Thats correct. Theyve been raising children. Theyre loving, kind moms. And they will make a great home for this child in need. And this judges ruling is cruel and it is a brazen defiance of the law of the land. Troy, lets talk about the judge Scott Johansson. He is known for controversial rulings. Yeah. Hes notorious in this state. 1994, i believe, he slapped a teenage kid because he believed that he was stealing something. In 20 12krks there was an assault case with another teenager, and part of the sentencing was requiring that her mother cut off her pony tail. A bizarre, strange judge. And this is just the next strange oddity coming from him. All eyes will be watching to see what happens with this ruling. Troy williams, thank you so much for taking time with us. Thank you so much. And that wraps up this hour of cnn newsroom. Im George Howell at the cnn center in atlanta. Ill be back after the break with another hour of news around the world. Thank you for calling.
