Here. But we will start off with nato holding an emergency meeting this morning armed with what it says is new evidence of Russian Forces inside ukraine. Lets go ahead and show you this new evidence. Its essentially satellite Images Released by nato on thursday. They show a convoy of Russian Artillery units essentially setting up positions between donetsk and luhansk. Those of course are the separatist strongholds. Russia repeatedly has denied sending in troops. But this map shows moscow or really why moscows likely taking action now. The area controlled by prorussian rebels. We see it highlighted in orange. Has really shrunk in size in recent weeks as the rebels fight ukraines army. And there were exchanges at the United Nations thursday reminiscent of the cold war. The u. S. And russian ambassadors trading barbs and accusations over just who is responsible for the fighting in eastern ukraine. They talked during an emergency meeting of the u. N. Security council. U. S. Ambassador first accusing russia of manipulation and straight out lying about the crisis. Reporter ukraine is one of roughly a dozen countries that share a border with russia. Let me close with a couple questions. How can we tell those countries that border russia that their peace and sovereignty is guaranteed if we do not make our message heard on ukraine . Why should they believe it will be different if tomorrow president putin decides to start supporting armed separatists and allowing soldiers on vacation to fight in their countries . Translator now, the American Ambassador said what kind of message can we send to russias neighbors. Well, i would suggest that we send a message to washington. Stop interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states. Stop trying to undermine a regime that you dont like. Restrain your geopolitical ambition. Theyre not only russias neighbors but many other countries around the world would breathe a sigh of relief. Meantime, ukraine is reinstating its mandatory draft. New recruits wont initially be deployed to conflict zones, but the news will be welcomed by volunteer ukrainian battalions, who say they now face a much stronger foe. Cnns diana magnay has more for us from eastern ukraine. Reporter a sorrylooking convoy. One of ukraines volunteer battalions beating a haste ry retreat it seems from the countrys embattled southeast. Antiputin scrawl on the back of this car not much good as it rattles its way out of the conflict zone. Past mariupol we meet members of the volunteer dnepro battalion huddled beneath a tree. On wednesday they say they were routed from novoazovsk close to the russian border by Russian Forces backed by crossborder artillery shelling. Theyre regular Russian Troops, the commander tells me, and i have information which i can prove 100 that the tank drivers are local but that they got special training in russia. Cnn cant verify his claims, but hes convinced the separatists plan is to move north from the sea of azov to create a corridor right up to donetsk. Earlier wed driven up that road as far north as we could go. You can hear the crump of artillery fire in the distance. This is the main highway from mariupol up to donetsk, which is about 15 k in that direction. As you can see, it is absolutely deserted. We stopped because of that shelling, which the locals say has been going on for days. And most of them spend most of their time underground. Its too dangerous, they say, to to be out. In donetsk itself shelling killed at least 15 civilians on thursday. The casualty count growing each day. Those who can flee across the front lines, hoping signs marking their precious load, children, will save them from the cruelty of random mortar rounds. It was scary, this little boy says. We were scared they would hit us, the shells would hit us. And there were airplanes overhead. The troops that stay now facing an altogether tougher foe as russia apparently bares its teeth on ukrainian soil. Diana magnay, cnn, mariupol, ukraine. Isis fighters say they executed more than 250 syrian soldiers, and video posted online appears to prove it. Well show that to you in just a moment. Yeah. Unfortunately, when theres an isis story too many times it corresponds with a horrific video. U. S. Air strikes, though, are already hitting isis targets in iraq. But president Barack Obama Says its too soon to say what steps washington will take against the sunni militants advancing in syria. One thing he is making clear, battling this group, also known as isil, must be a regional effort. As ive said, rooting out a cancer like isil will not be quick or easy, but im confident that we can and we will, working closely with our allies and our partners. And now to that story about the mass execution of soldiers in syria. Our anna coren has details on the militants capture of Peshmerga Forces in iraq. We must warn you, as we always do, the video youre about to see is graphic. Reporter walking hopelessly through the desert stripped down to their underwear, most with hands behind their head, these syrian soldiers know the horror thats about to unfold. This grainy isis video then shows a pile of bloody bodies. Before the camera swings around to reveal this. An endless line of dead soldiers lying face down in the dirt. The sunni extremists claim these are the 250 syrian soldiers they captured during their weeklong bloody battle to take al tabka military base. The last stronghold for Bashar Al Assads regime in raqqa province. A large swath of Eastern Syria now controlled by isis. Militants gloating on social media of the weaponry seized in its latest conquest. This barbaric treatment of what are fundamentally prisoners of war indicates that there is no code of conduct within this terrorist organization. Isis has repeatedly shown cruelty, utter brutality, and no mercy to anyone who stands in its way. In another display of its ruthless behavior clearly designed to instill fear amongst the kurds in northern iraq, video also released by isis of what they claim are captured peshmerga soldiers. Dressed in orange jumpsuits, the same worn by american journalist james foley, brutally executed last week, the kurdish prisoners were forced to appeal to their president to stop support for american air strikes in iraq. A message to Massoud Barzani and to all of the kurds, says this soldier. I beg you to end your alliance with the americans. Dont let america intervene in the region. One of the prisoners later shown to be kneeling in front of a mosque in mosul before he was beheaded. An abhorrent and medieval act that has come to define isis. Anna coren, cnn, erbil, iraq. And now to this developing story for you. Its been rumbling for nearly two weeks, but now icelands Meteorological Agency says the badabungol volcano is now erupting. Analysts say this is a fissure eruption which is much less explosive than a main chamber eruption. For now its a positive situation but its a developing situation. The volcano last erupted in 1910. Our meteorologist ivan cabrera is watching all the new information coming in to us and hell give us an update on this development in moments. So far so good on air travel. So far. But lets wait and see what happens next. All right. Also ahead for you, rushing to finalize a new ebola vaccine, officials are calling on Healthy Volunteers to take part in trials. Also ahead here, a sex abuse scandal of massive proportions in the uk. Well look at a new report pointing fingers at Law Enforcement for staying silent. Defiance is in our bones.

Lets just say, i saved him 519, and it certainly didnt go toward that ring. Am i right . [ laughs ] [ dance music playing ] so visit progressive. Com today. I call this one the robox. Welcome back. Health officials in west africa are working at a frantic pace to try and contain the spread of the deadly ebola virus. Yes. It is growing still. A mobile lab has now been set up in freetown, sierra leone, to help speed up ebola test results. Previously those tests would need to be sent overseas. Now patients can find out if theyre positive for ebola within three to five hours. Now, meantime the World Health Organization says there are more than 1,500 confirmed or suspected deaths from ebola in this current outbreak, and the w. H. O. Warns the total number of cases, it could exceed way beyond what you see there. They estimate it could get to 20,000 over the course of the crisis. Well, an experimental ebola vaccine is also being fasttracked in the u. S. And the uk. The drug is being developed by glaxosmithkline and the u. S. National institutes of health. The university of oxford is also conducting trials. As jim boulden reports, theyre looking for healthy humans to test it out. Reporter an unprecedented response to an unprecedented outbreak. With more than 1,500 dead and no end in sight to the ebola outbreak, experts are now looking for Healthy Volunteers in the uk, gambia, and mali to test a potential vaccine. Previously, in studies of vaccines for the developing world, people have been incredibly generous with their time to come forward and volunteer. Obviously, well only know when weve tried. Reporter researchers are targeting the zaire strain of ebola now wreaking havoc in liberia, sierra leone, and guinea. The university of oxford is launching simultaneous human trials in the uk and africa. You cant make the actual trial quicker. You still have to follow somebody for a month to see if theres an immune response at a month. What were doing much faster is all the levels of regulatory review and approvals and people are really pulling out all the stops. Reporter which could mean a vaccine in africa by the end of the year, though its likely to be early next year. Nobody has ever taken a vaccine from first time in a human being to thinking of actually using it to save lives three months later. Reporter the British Government and the welcome trust, a charitable foundation, are funding oxford with 4. 6 million to conduct the study. Some of that money will also go to immediately manufacture and stockpile up to 10,000 doses of the experimental vaccine by pharmaceutical giant gsk before its even approved. We would normally not do that at this early stage of development. But working with our partners and the funding that they bring enabled us to do this much earlier in the process than we would normally do. Reporter if these trials prove successful, the World Health Organization will be given the doses to start a mass Immunization Program in highrisk communities. The United States is conducting a similar trial with the same vaccines starting next week. The experts say having multiple trials on various continents will help speed up the time needed to discover which dose and which method of delivery is most effective and insist those who do volunteer are in no danger of catching ebola. Jim boulden, cnn, london. Weve got some other news out of the uk for you now. A damning report has just been released in england showing a sex abuse scandal on a truly massive scale. Its centered around the town of rotherham and exposes the abuse of roughly 1,400 children. The worst part here is that police and government officials were aware of it and for years did nothing. Our Atika Shubert has more. Reporter rotherham, england in sowing yorkshire. For more than a decade here a new report says police, social services and local government officials ignored a horrific crime happening on a massive scale. This independent report sponsored by the city council finds that at least 1,400 children were sexually abused and exploited, and that is a conservative estimate. The report states that children were raped by multiple perpetrators. Trafficked to other towns and cities. And abducted, beaten, and intimidated. Some victims were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight. The vast majority of the perpetrators, asian men. The victims, mostly vulnerable teenage girls. Like this victim, who was only 14 when she was targeted by a convicted felon. They knew how old he was. They knew he had been in prison. They knew that he could be a danger to other children as well. They knew full knowledge of it. They knew so much about it. And they just never did anything. Reporter the report says Rotherham Police and social Services Simply ignored the victims and then refused to confront the perpetrators for fear of being thought racist. Now antimuslim groups such as the English Defense League have camped outside Rotherham Police station, and the Asian Muslim Community here is reeling from the crisis. We want these individuals who havent been prosecuted, who havent been convicted because of the failure of the police of the failure of the Police Authority or the failure of the council and the social services who were aware, we want these individuals to be convicted and prosecuted for the crimes they have committed in our community and also we want resignations for those people that were liable to protect our children. Reporter Rotherham Council leader roger stone has resigned. The council and the South Yorkshire police all condemn the abuse and, quote, apologized for failing to protect the children. The Police Department says it, quote, fully intends to implement the recommendations made in the report. But police chief shawn wright has not resigned, prompting Prime Minister David Cameron to speak out. The reports from rotherham are shocking and the scale of the abuse that was going on are deeply shocking. And i think the home secretary was right yesterday to say, having looked at the report and the fact that the Police Commissioner was at the time head of childrens services, that the right decision would be to resign and take full responsibility for what happened. Reporter now, those may seem like strong words from the Prime Minister, but take a look at this map of the uk. This is rotherham. But theres also rochdale, darby, peterborough. Even down here in oxford. These are all places where grooming gangs had been reported and prosecuted. Rotherham is simply the first place where the full extent of the problem has been revealed. Its no longer just rotherham. Its a national problem. Incredibly, the report clearly states the abuse is still continuing and happening to this day. Atika shubert, cnn, rotherham, england.

Our meteorologist ivan cabrera is now our volcanologist for this hour. Put the old volcanologist hat on which i havent put on for yarz. Of course the last time we had that disaster. So far so good on this one. No one could get anywhere in europe. It was unbelievable. Upwards of a couple billion dollars i think in losses there. But lets get to the latest pictures here because were finally getting some daylight here and i want to show what you it looks like. Heres bardabunga and its getting going here. What we have here is what the volcanologists call a fissure eruption. But there you see the plume coming out of the volcano. A very grainy web cam here. But it is live. And we have not seen this kind of action so far with this volcano. Now were talking about it. Weve had those reports of the fissures underneath live from the volcano but now were breaking through the glacier. Were at red alert imminent. That means theyve closed the air space over iceland for obvious reasons. You dont want aircraft flying over the ash here. And what is a fissure eruption . The difference is when you do get the main chamber eruption that is when you get that explosive ash going well up into the atmosphere. This is what happened back in 2004. When was it . Four years ago now. 2010. So this is not currently happening with bardarbunga. What is happening is we have this fissure, right . This other channel that has developed here. So that has allowed some of the magma to begin surfacing here. And that is the plume that you are seeing there. A fissure eruption is less explosive here, and thats certainly a good thing. The problem is for the locals there that is going to be an issue because once that hot magma reaches the glacier youre going to have significant melting here. So that can cause some localized flooding. So we have local issues because of the ash and then we have local issues because of the flooding. And we are hoping to stay l
