Hello and welcome back to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. Im rosemary church. Good to be with you, rosemary. Hey, everyone. Im errol barnett. Coming up for you this hour it must be clear to anyone who would plot against america and try to do americans harm that we will not tolerate safe havens for terrorists who threaten our people. The white house uses the campaign against isis to attack what it calls an imminent threat to americans and western interests. Also coming up its going to end in a bloodbath if nobody stops it. Nobody were listening. They thought everybody was immune from this danger. A cnn exclusive. Iraqs new Prime Minister calls for more help from the United States, saying his country has paid a heavy price for the rise of isis. Plus the fight against ebola. A dire warning about what could happen if the disease continues to spread unchecked in west africa. Thanks for joining us, everyone. The united thagss General Assembly gets under way later today, and u. S. President barack obama will be looking for support in the battle against isis. Hell be speaking from a position of strength, having just rallied an alliance of arab nations to deliver the first blows against isis targets inside syria. Thats right. On tuesday jordan, saudi arabia, bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates delivered air strikes alongside the u. S. While qatar flew combat patrol. President obama met with representatives on those nations of those nations on tuesday. On the sidelines of the u. N. In new york. And he says the fight against isis is just the beginning. Because of the almost unprecedented effort of this coalition i think we now have an opportunity to send a very clear message that the world is united, that all of us are committed to making sure that we degrade and ultimately destroy not only isil but also the kinds of extremist ideologies that would lead to so much bloodshed. This is not going to be something that is quick, and it is not something that is going to be easy. It will take time, and its not only a military effort. Well, besides hitting isis, american warplanes and missiles also targeted a littleknown Al Qaedalinked cell near the syrian city of aleppo. Yeah. The u. S. Says the Khorasan Group has been working on some alarming plans for attacks on the west. Our Deborah Feyerick explains. Reporter what makes the khorasan terror cell in syria so dangerous to the United States is they have one objective carry out a major terror attack in europe or america. Multiple sources tell cnn the group has the materials and was operational. Intelligence reports indicated that the Khorasan Group was in the final stages of plans to execute major attacks against western targets and potentially the u. S. Homeland. Reporter an intelligence source says khorasans potential plots include clothing dipped in explosive material or explosives contained in nonmetallic devices like toothpaste tubes. You could possibly get some of these types of devices, bombs, through airport security, and they could be quite catastrophic on an airliner. Reporter a u. S. Official told cnn the plot could involve a bomb on a plane. Terrorists could have chosen a final target prior to u. S. Strikes on their compound. Its far from clear whether the plot has been neutralized. They may have been able to take out training facilities. But if theyve not taken out the key leaders, the bomb makers and the operatives that they were trying to recruit, then its possible they could even accelerate this plot. Reporter terror experts describe khorasan as the new al qaeda central, a small hardcore group of veteran operatives, many who have fought in afghanistan or chechnya. Their leader, moussen al fadli, was part of the 9 11 planning and knew of the hijackers and the plot to fly planes into buildings. His bodyguard in syria was recently captured and interrogated by the assad regime. A source saying the khorasan cell was focused on external operations. We did not target individual leaders. We did, however, target command and control nodes. Reporter experts say khorasan bomb makers may have been trained by al qaeda master bomb builder ibrahim al asiri, responsible for both the underwear bomb and the explosive printer cartridge. The group also has a Delivery System in the form of western recruits with european and american passports. We will not tolerate safe havens for terrorists who threaten our people. Reporter a u. S. Official telling cnn the planned attack was much further along than anyone was comfortable with. Deborah feyerick, cnn, new york. So theres some information on the Khorasan Group. Weve talked about isis as well. But you also have the alnusra front in syria. That group saying a key leader of the militant group has been killed by the u. S. Led air strikes in the country. Now, the group posted this image on twitter claiming it shows abu yusef al turkey, also known as the turk. We need to point out cnn cannot independently verify the groups claims but there have been reports that some alnusra fighters were killed in aleppo. The group is linked to al qaeda and has been fighting the government in syria. Its also been fighting isis, the very target of the strikes. Now, qatar is among the arab nations involved in the strikes over syria. The nation has put aside welldocumented differences with both saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates in order to take part. In fact, the uaes foreign minister said it comes down to the fact that isis is really a common enemy. I think its indicative of the threat that everybody feels is common. Nobody is basically immune. Everybody is tlaebt threatened. The way of life. The values. This is i think a danger to all of us, terrorism, and i think this is indicative of how the coalition was on the sense that we need to act. We cant be passive. And a jordanian government spokesman also weighed in on why his country is getting involved. Take a listen. This is going to be an ongoing operation through which we will preempt any attempt to try to cross our borders and infill frai infiltrate our borders and to make sure our borders are secure and safe. And this is the high interest of the jordanian state to ensure the safety and security of our borders and our soil. Well, security and stability will be a tougher task for iraq. The countrys new iraqi Prime Minister tells cnn that isis fighters who crossed from syria into iraq have inflicted tremendous pain on his people. Hader al abadi spoke exclusively to Christiane Amanpour who asked what he will tell the u. S. President when the two leaders meet later today. Well, i think we need concrete support. Although the United States has supported us all along, they stood with iraq. But we need more concrete support on the ground. Do you mean Ground Forces . No. I mean air cover on the ground. I have to see that effect on the ground. We want to see that the United States and the coalition have their own vision. We have our own. If our armed forces havent received the support they are expecting, because if im having if our armed forces have an offensive in certain area, they will expect an air cover to support them. The iraqi Prime Minister also spoke about the conditions that allowed isis and other terrorist organizations in the region to flourish. And that is coming up in less than half an hour. We want to bring you some more reaction. Syrias ambassador to the u. N. Is speaking out against the u. S. Led air strikes in his country. Bashar jafari told Cnns Richard Roth that he believes washington isnt seeing the bigger picture. We advised our american counterparts not to repeat the american fiasco in iraq by undertaking the same kind of blind military attacks. Combating terrorism requires having many tracks. A political track, a military track, a diplomatic track. So so far washington prefer to follow only one track. Now, u. S. President Barack Obama Says the attacks on isis in syria may continue for quite some time. A hint there at how complex the task of destroying that one militant group may be. But we should note there are many others. As weve just complained. We want to bring in marwan masher now. Hes a cnn analyst. He joins us live via web cam from jordan. We really appreciate you giving us some of your time today. You are a former foreign minister of the country and a deputy Prime Minister as well. So you can give us some insight into what maybe is being said behind the scenes in jordan. And this arabsupported fight really is a massive diplomatic achievement. But how do you think jordan was convinced to participate . Well, jordan needed really little convincing. This is as much a battle that is jordans and the regions as is the United States. I. C. E. Is not ju isis is not just a military threat to the region because that can be addressed satisfactorily over a long period of time. The real threat is cultural. The real threat is about the values system that these people are trying to propagate. Therefore, i think it is imperative that jordan and other arab countries really take the lead in this war that is not just a military one. But if that was true, if arab nations want to take the lead, wouldnt we see more than a willingness to commit boots on the ground, for example . I mean, how far would you say jordan is willing to go to limit and erase what is agreed upon as a widespread threat . Isis and these other jihadist militants who have a bit of a safe haven in syria and even parts of iraq. Do you think jordan would commit Ground Troops to this effort . I think its highly unlikely that jordan or any other arab country will commit boots on the ground for some of the same reasons that the American Public opinion also does not want to commit boots on the ground for u. S. Soldiers. It is very difficult politically to commit boots on the ground in what might be seen as arabs fighting other arabs. But i think also, you know, financially jordan is not in a situation to basically engage in a long military campaign. We just dont have the resources. Having said that, i think there is a lot that jordan and other arab countries can offer. Jordan has an excellent intelligence service. Air bases that the United States are probably using already. Logistical support. Networks with the Sunni Community and tribes in iraq to lure them away from isis. Theres a lot that can be done other than military other than boots on the ground. All right. Marwan muasher joining us from web cam from jordan. Certainly jordans offered intelligence and a lot of aid in this effort but well all see how different nations vary as this effort continues. We appreciate you joining us here on cnn this morning. Thanks very much. Thank you. Youre watching cnn. Were going to take a short break right now. But just ahead, the desperate search for safety. Syrians are fleeing their homes by the thousands. A report on the growing refugee crisis in turkey. Thats next. Plus, britains role in the coalition.

Com. Many refugees want to know why it took so long for the air campaign to begin in the first place. Thousands of people have fled their homes in the past week to escape the militants. Our Senior International correspondent arwa damon has more from across the border in turkey. Reporter upwards of 158,000 syrian kurds have fled Northern Syria following an isis push that began on friday and saw the terrorist Organization Take over dozens of villages. Those refugees arriving utterly exhausted, dejected, having left everything behind. Many of them saying they wanted to see more air strikes by the u. S. And the Arab Coalition. Inside the city of raqqa that was the scene of many of those strikes one activist saying that they most certainly welcomed this action, saying that it was about time. And the International Community came together to a certain degree because they felt as if they had been utterly left aside to their own means to try to fend for themselves. But he also said that isis was entrenching itself within the civilian population,hat it had evacuated most of the facilities that the air strikes were targeting, anticipating this type of military action. But in other parts of the country something much a different sentiment, especially in aleppo and idlip provinces as it became apparent that the u. S. And its allies were not just targeting isis but that they had hit organizations like the us in rah front, which the u. S. Does deem a terrorist organization but is viewed by many activists, many residents in aleppo and idlip province as being the only entity that had been capable of standing up against the regime and standing up against isis. More and more fear and apprehension being expressed about what it is the u. S. And its allies true intentions are, and a lot of anxiety about what the upcoming hours, what kind of violence the next few days would possibly bring. Arwa damon, cnn, gaziantep, turkey. Take a look at this map next to me because the u. N. Says more than 3 Million People have fled syria due to the ongoing war. That number, though, could be much higher. These the map next to me you see all the registered refugees. You see theres more than a million in neighboring lebanon. Turkey has taken in more than 847,000 refugees. And more than 618,000 registered refugees are in jordan. But when we update this map and include those who are unregistered and include some of the estimates according to regional governments you see bigger numbers. 1. 6 million refugees in turkey and 1. 5 million in lebanon and 1. 4 million in jordan. The fear that this refugee crisis is much larger than currently understood. Rosemary . Thanks, errol. The wife of a british aid worker held hostage by isis says she has received audio of her husband pleading for his life. And once again, Barbara Henning is appealing to the militant group to free him. Alan henning was part of a team of volunteers who went to syria in december to deliver aid. In a message released by the British Government Barbara Henning questioned why isis militants wont let her husband go after an Islamic Court declared he wasnt a spy or a threat. The pentagon says freeing the hostages remains an important goal. We have remained concerned about the fate of the hostages that we know that they have. Its not something weve ever taken lightly. Certainly something weve never stopped thinking about. As you know, we did attempt one rescue not long ago over the fourth of july weekend. So its something were watching very, very closely, as closely as we can. Well, so far the uk has been notably absent in air strikes against isis. But that could change. Prime minister David Cameron is set to address the United Nations General Assembly later wednesday. Aaron mclaughlin is at 10 downing street in london and she joins us now live. So erin, we know that Prime Minister cameron expressed support for these air strikes on isis in syria, but when is he likely to bring britain in on a more active role and how much support will he get from farmt when he tries to do that . Reporter its still very much an open question, rosemary. We know according to downing street that the Prime Minister is in new york holding talks on ways in which the United Kingdom can do more to help address the isis threat. Hes expected as you mentioned to address the u. N. General Assembly Later there. The topics being the situation in iraq as well as isis. He gave an interview to American Network nbc in which he described the nature of the threat. Take a listen to what he had to say. Theres no doubt in my mind it has already undertaken and is planning further plots in europe including in my own country in order to kill and maim innocent people. And the same applies to the United States of america. Reporter now, the Prime Minister has said he would like to consult with the house of commons before taking any military decisions, leading some to speculate that he could recall parliament as soon as friday. Although political analysts that ive been talking to say hell be unlikely to do that if he didnt feel he had the necessary support to push through a vote that he really cant risk any sort of political humiliation, especially on the eve of his partys conference. Although members of the opposition, leaders of the opposition have said that they would be open to concrete proposals regarding british involvement in air strikes. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is in new york. Hes expected to meet with the iranian president later today. A meeting that he addressed in that interview with the American Network nbc. Take a listen to what he had to say about Irans Nuclear program as well as irans involvement in the fight against isis. We think they are wrong to have this United States<\/a> and all around the world. Im rosemary church. Good to be with you, rosemary. Hey, everyone. Im errol barnett.

Reporter you heard him there describe sort of these competing interests and need for britain to gain irans support in fighting isis but also the need to address that nuclear program. Those talks are ongoing. The deadline for those talks in november. This will be a historic meeting, the first time a british Prime Minister<\/a> has met with an iranian leader since 1979. Rosemary . All right. Erin mclaughlin reporting there out the front of 10 downing street. It is only 7 21, nearly 7 22 in the morning there. All right. Coming up, we want to bring you a dire warning about how the number of ebola cases could explode in the coming months. The centers for Disease Control<\/a> in the u. S. Has released its forecast. Well bring you details after this. Thats keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. At humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. When frustration and paperwork decrease. When grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. So lets do it. Lets simplify healthcare. Lets close the gap between people and care. You need to see this. Show em the curve. Do you know what this means . The greater the curvature, the bigger the difference. [scifi tractor beam sound]. Sucked me right in. Its beautiful. Gotta admit one thing. Cant beat the view. Introducing the worlds first curved Ultra High Definition Television<\/a> from samsung. A disturbing new report warns the number of ebola cases in west africa could rise sharply by january. The u. S. Centers for Disease Control<\/a> says cases could jump to between 550,000 and almost 1. 5 million. Thats if stronger steps arent taken to fight the virus now. There are about 5,800 confirmed cases so far. More than 2,800 people have died from the disease, and experts are blaming a, quote, inadequate and late Global Response<\/a> for the scale of the outbreak. The cdc says these worst Case Scenario<\/a> figures can be avoided if 70 of the people currently infected get proper care. There is some hope with the opening of new facilities, but the outlook is still bleak, as cnns Elizabeth Cohen<\/a> discovered. Reporter inside this ambulance, three ebola patients, including a teenager. All of them denied entry to one of monrovias overcrowded ebola treatment centers. The ambulance weaves through traffic, trying desperately to get care where its been promised, the citys newest ebola hospital, open just hours before. The island clinic. But when we arrive with the ambulance, we find the hospital not ready. The patients in the ambulance we followed are Strong Enough<\/a> to walk in. But there are ambulances already here carrying patients who are too weak to enter the hospital on their own. Two patients stay curled up in a ball. These men cant move either. Were told hes not wearing clothes below the waist because of the intense diarrhea caused by ebola. Try to come down and walk a little, a worker tells the man. Im too tired, he says. Then summoning up his energy, he tries. For now hes left where he falls. This little boy tries to walk in, too, but then he collapses as well. Get up and go inside, workers tell him. Youll only get food if you go inside. Another worker says, let him rest. And they agree thats best for now. The workers tell us staff inside is suiting up in their protective gear so they can carry the patients in. The island clinic is supported by the liberian government and the world health organization. We showed our video to peter graff with the w. H. O. His first reaction . Its horrible. I mean, thats i think what the lesson is here is that people still come too late. They are already very sick. And thats when you get scenes like this. Its much better to come when youve when you feel the first signs and symptoms and get yourself tested. But many people do try to get there earlier and theyre turned away over and over. And thats why im so glad that we now opened this clinic. I mean, the hospital was open. Why werent they well, very good question. I dont have the answer. I mean, yes, they should have. Reporter graff says perhaps the reason is the hospital became overwhelmed. Almost all of the 120 beds were already filled within the first day. This is shocking. I mean, and i mean, of course this is exactly what we should try to avoid in the future. Its horrible. Is this something youre going to check on . Of course i will. Yeah. Immediately. Reporter when we left the hospital, the boy and the man were still on the ground. A symptom of a system overwhelmed and a new hospital apparently unprepared. World Health Officials<\/a> have said this is the worst outbreak of ebola ever. And if you would like to help, weve put together a list of groups working to fight the disease. You can find it at cnn. Com impact. All right. Many more stories to come. Iraqs Prime Minister<\/a> says someone financed, armed, and trained isis and then lost control of the group. His exclusive interview with cnn is coming up. U. S. President barack obama goes to the u. N. General Assembly Later<\/a> today to rally support for a coalition against isis. Mr. Obama thanked representatives of five arab nations that helped carry out air strikes on isis in syria on tuesday. And vowed that the fight is just beginning. The u. S. Also carried out strikes on its own in syria against the Al Qaedaaffiliated<\/a> Khorasan Group<\/a>. The pentagon says its been plotting major attacks against western targets including the United States<\/a>. One official says the group was working on new ways to smuggle explosives onto airplanes. Sierra leone is sealing its borders with guinea and liberia, trying to stop ebola from spreading there. A Government Official<\/a> says they cant stop people from coming back into the country but they can stop them from traveling to liberia and guinea. These countries are all at the center of the deadly ebola outbreak. Right now iraqs new Prime Minister<\/a> is expected to meet with the u. S. President in the coming days on the sidelines of the u. N. General assembly, but he spoke first with our Christiane Amanpour<\/a>. And in this exclusive interview Haider Al Abadi<\/a> talks about the rise of i. C. E. , the pain it has inflicted on his country, and whether the u. S. Led air strikes are helping. Prime minister al abadi, welcome to the program. Thank you very much. As we speak, strikes have started not just on isis targets in your country, iraq, but of course now in syria. What is your reaction to that . Do you think it will help . I hope it does. I think syria has been left over now for three or four years. The International Community<\/a> has done nothing about it. Now millions of syrians are refugees. Their children are without hope, without future. There is a new terrorist organization in syria. I think iraq has paid a heavy price for that. Because these terrorists have crossed the border from neighboring syria to iraq and occupied many cities. Theyve slaughtered children. They have sold women. They have killed innocent people. Theyve destroyed cities. So really i think iraq has carried the major onslaught of these terrorist organizations. And i hope the world will do it right this time. You say do it right. One of the components is a coalition. For instance, five arab nations have been involved in at least this first wave of air strikes against syria, against isis in syria. These are all sunni states. How does that sit with your government . Well, i hope we can the problem is theres polarization in the region and that polarization has given rise to these terrorist organizations. And these organizations, there hasnt been spontaneous. Their attack on iraq is not spontaneous. They have been supported. They have been financed. They have been trained. They have been armed to do a job somewhere else. But they have decided to occupy iraq and go towards iraq. And possibly somebody around there, they thought they can manage these terrorist organizations to do a dirty job. But again, i think they went offshoot, and i think they became out of control. And thats why we can see an International Alliance<\/a> to stop them. And you approve of the arab nations whove joined the fight . Well, im happy they have seen the dangers which we have been seeing for the last three years. I mean, we have warned in the last two years this is a danger, this is a blood game. Its going to end in a blood bath if nobody stops it. Nobody were listening. They thought everybody is immune from this danger and only iraq and syria were on the spot of this danger. But now i think we are happy. I personally am happy that everybody is seeing this danger so that they are going to do something about it. And i hope they do something about it and they dont do it the wrong way. When the United States<\/a> informed you about this new wave of attacks against syria, your officials i believe informed the syrian government. Is that correct . Well, i understood the americans informed the syrians as well. Your National Security<\/a> officials have been with president assad recently. Did they warn him . Did they tell him in did they carry a message from the United States<\/a> . Well, their message is this is our message i think initially. Ive asked my security adviser to go to syria and tell them, look, iraq is not part in any coalition or not part in any attack on syria, against the sovereignty of syria, against the unity of syria, against the people of syria. We have suffered from this attack or onslaught from the syrian border, from neighboring syria to iraq, and it is in our interest to stop it. And we are only supporting this and this containment, not beyond that. This is our view. So syria shouldnt be disturbed from anything were doing. Were not part in any we have been told as well by the americans and other allies, their only interest to crush isis, to crush daesh. So the americans have not told you theyre going after anyone else even as collateral. They told the world publicly their plan is not to intervene into syria but to stop this disease. Reporter you talk about it as a disease. And clearly it has threatened your current in a way that is very, very serious. How do you cope with this pressure that is now on you because you are the man upon whom this strategy rests to form political reconciliation, to have some kind of political outcome . Personally, how are you taking this pressure . Well, theres a lot of pressure, i agree. Being Prime Minister<\/a>. And according to the iraqi constitution hes the highest executive and he happen to be the commander in chief of the armed forces. This is a huge task. Especially when i can see isis forces very close to baghdad. They are threatening some vicinity of baghdad. Although weve managed to push them back. Baghdad is securie at the momen. But other areas are very, very under attack. There are about 30 of our land or probably now 25 is under the ok pooigs of isis. We have to do something about it. Every day passes by. Thats why i say its a disease. Its an ideology. And this ideology, and fix a lot of damage on others. It spreads like a disease. It can bring new generation of young people to their ranks and to form a new army of volunteers who have wrong ideology, bad ideology. This ideology is not approved by islam, is not approved by any oher religion on earth. This is a new cocktail of ideas, which is impacting of killing civilians without any reason just for the purpose of fear. They are governing by fear, not by fighting. But theyre governing. And its so far not working. You have an air force called the United States<\/a> air force. And other western countries attacking isis targets in iraq. And so far they have not dislodged isis. As you say, theyve held the line around baghdad. They have relieved a few towns, amorally and others. But isis is still dug in. Isis controls mosul. We dont see a flood of sunnis to the new iraqi government. Im not saying a lot of sunnis but im seeing a lot of sunnis contacting us and wanting to work with us. Tribes, individuals, groups. They are really on our side at the moment. They want to see the day when isis can be pushed back from their areas. I believe them. And we have contacts with them. And they want help to do that. Having said that, to be honest with you, the International Coalition<\/a> helping iraq, there is a lot of talk. I dont want to be critical. But im practical. Im Prime Minister<\/a> of iraq. We havent been receiving enough support on the ground. Youre going to be meeting with president obama one on one. What will you tell him . Well, i think we need concrete support. Although the United States<\/a> has supported us all along, theyve stood with iraq, but we need more concrete support on the ground. Do you mean Ground Forces<\/a> . No. I mean air cover. On the ground i have to see that effect on the ground. We want to see the United States<\/a> and the coalition, their own vision. We have our own. If our armed forces havent received the support they are expecting, because if im having if our armed forces are going to have an offensive in certain area, they would expect an air cover to support them. If that air covers not forthcoming, then what is the use of that air cover for me, or for our armed forces . We have to rely then on our own, and we can tell our partners, thank you very much, your support is not working for us. I dont want to reach that point. But i have to be very clear, we need that support, the international support, the support of the United States<\/a>. We need it badly. But it has to be there. And he might say to you with due respect. We have truly an integrated armed force because we cannot be the armed force for one side in this fight. All sunnis in iraq are calling to join hands. Theyre calling me to provide them with arms, with support. But i dont want to create another militia on the ground. Im telling them, look, i cant incorporate you in our armed forces, our Security Forces<\/a>. Will you be part of our Security Forces<\/a> in that region . Were going to create Something Like<\/a> a National Guard<\/a>. That National Guard<\/a> will have a local force in their own area. They can control their own force. That force will protect them. They can use it to protect their own territory, their own areas that have some sort of like independence. Some sort of federalism in iraq. Which im very much in support of. The evolution of power is important. Haider al abadi, iraqs new Prime Minister<\/a>, speaking to our Christiane Amanpour<\/a> earlier on the sidelines of the beginning of the unga, set to get under way tomorrow in iraq. And really interesting there that he floated the idea of possibly a National Guard<\/a>, something separate from the military that would have local representation in iraq as a way of getting some of these moderate militias to move their alliances to the government because still theyre very untrusting of this government. Still has to prove itself, mr. Al abadis government, ha it is really inclusive zp. Andll of course hell be talking with Prime Minister<\/a> obama president obama. It will be interesting to see what comes of that. We have to take a break. But still to come, five arab countries have joined forces with the u. S. To carry out air strikes in syria. A closer look at this unlikely coalition. [ male announcer ] over time, youve come to realize. [ starter ] ready [ starting gun goes off ] [ male announcer ] its less of a race.

President barack obama. In new york tuesday he met with officials from the five arab nations that joined the u. S. For strikes against isis in syria. Welcome back, everyone. Now, there are several notable nations not yet involved in the strikes on isis in syria. Turkey did not participate, but its Prime Minister<\/a> says the country will do what it can to fight isis. Turkey is being directly impacted by the spread of isis taking in thousands of syrian refugees, really tens of thousands if not more than 100,000 refugees who have been fleeing the violence. Egypt receives considerable military aid from the u. S. And has a capable air force but wasnt one of the partners in the strikes. Now, sunni extremism right on its doorstep is a major concern for shiite majority iran, but its longstanding sour relationship with the United States<\/a> and its alliance with syria makes a military partnership with this country difficult. British Prime Minister<\/a> David Cameron<\/a> says he supports the air strikes in syria though his country didnt participate. Isis has already executed one british hostage and has threatened to dot same to another. And finally, france has already conducted air strikes against isis in iraq but its foreign minister says the president has no plans to do the same in syria. Well, five arab countries joining forces with the u. S. To carry out air strikes against isis in syria. It is a level of cooperation rarely seen in that part of the world. So lets talk more about this partnership with our guest salman shaikh. Hes the director of the Brookings Doha Center<\/a> and a fellow at the saban center for middle east policy. Thank you for joining us from doha, qatar. I do want to start with how this significant this alliance between the u. S. And these five arab nations is and how effective you think this first wave of strikes was as a result of that partnership, of course. Well, it was effective in terms of showing that the United States<\/a>, as president obama said, is not in this alone. He does have these five heavyweight arab countries with him who of course see isil as an existential threat to them and the broader region. I was just in jordan, where its clear isil has been trying to penetrate. We see that in lebanon as well. So this is something that needed a response from arab countries, and that is why i think the efforts of secretary kerry, defense secretary hagel have proven to be so effective over the last few days. And of course as weve learned, we know this is just the beginning. This is going to take some time, isnt it . But what do you think its going to take to stop isis and indeed these other terror groups in their tracks . Is that even possible, do you think . Well, if youre going degrade and destroy isil and other terror groups and remember, jabbate alnusra was not there in 2012 and isil wasnt there in 2013. And khorasan probably wasnt around until this year, or the islamic caliphate. So but youre going to do that, you need a political solution in syria in my view. We are learning that lesson in iraq, where we allowed a dysfunctional political system to almost completely break apart iraq. And now theres a very tentative step through a new government on a political real political process and solution in iraq. In syria were nowhere near that. At this point in time what were doing is were leaving Bashar Al Assad<\/a> to one side, which many would say is the cause as to why we have these kinds of extremists who are able to gain such a foosehold and establish such safe havens in vast tracts of syria. And until were able to move on that kind of political process where sunnis and their backers feel that there is another horizon, im afraid this kind of extremism is going to be very, very difficult to root out. So what are you suggesting should happen with regards to syria . In the scope of things. We have a coalition of arab states. I know King Abdullah<\/a> of saudi arabia, for example, when he spoke to president obama stressed a parallel effort to try and move on a real political dialogue when it comes to syria. But of course outside this coalition you have iran, which many would consider to be either a silent partner or a silent spoiler, and of course you have russia and others. I think it is time to eyeball those guys as well. And to see if they can be now reached a moment of political and diplomatic, what they would call rightness in order to really get some sort of movement maybe on a transitional government, some sort of interim government in syria. A broader National Dialogue<\/a> that brings in all aspects of syrian society. This will all take time, but if were not able to start that kind of effort with the active support of the regional partners, including iran, as well as the Key International<\/a> players, including russia, as well as of course the United States<\/a> and europe, then as i said, these efforts are not going to yield the kinds of results we want. And in fact, even the Arab Coalition<\/a> will start to fray as you see arab publics asking, well, what is all this for . Indeed. Salman shaikh, many thanks for you sharing your perspective with us here on cnn. We appreciate it. All right. A short break now. But still ahead, not in my name, a group of young muslims say no to extremism. We look at the social Media Campaign<\/a> trying to reverse the impact of isis. Also ahead here on cnn, china makes an unprecedented statement about Climate Change<\/a> as the u. S. President calls for beijings help. Stay with us. Anncr now you can merge the physical freedom of the car, with the virtual freedom of wifi. Chevrolet, the first and only car company to bring builtin 4g lte wifi to cars, trucks and crossovers. Hi mom. You made it anncr its the new independence. Hello. You can go ahead and have a nice flight. Re. Music plays music plays traveling can feel like one big mystery. Youre never quite sure what is coming your way. But when youve got an entire company who knows that the fewest cancellations and the most ontime flights are nothing if we cant get your things there, too. Its no wonder more People Choose<\/a> delta than any other airline. Young muslims saying it doesnt represent true islam. In britain one social Media Campaign<\/a> with that message is gaining some real traction with more than 120,000 views so far. Samuel burk has the story. Reporter four simple words. Not in my name. Not in my name. Not in my name. Not in my name. Reporter a group of young british muslims say they started the social Media Campaign<\/a> because they believe isis does not represent their religion. Because its totally unislamic. Because theyre killing innocent people. Because youre unjust. Reporter the campaign started in london with a Youtube Video<\/a> produced by the active change foundation and a hashtag on twitter. Now its beginning to spread across social media. The hashtag is also being used to call for the release of british hostage alan henning, the taxicab driver from england who was working as a volunteer in syria. We must all unite together and try to stop this group from damaging islam and damaging muslims. Because what youre doing is inhumane. Reporter the group hopes social media can be used to spread their message to young muslims instead of being used as a tool to recruit them for isis. . We get affected by this. People paint us with that brush. Weve got isis and the likes who are using social media. We want to be a step ahead if not at least ahead of the curve. Not in my name. Not in my name. Not in my name. Reporter samuel burke, cnn, new york. Well, there is word coming in to cnn that renewed unrest in ferguson, missouri. Shortly after a Ferguson City<\/a> Council Meeting<\/a> ended tuesday night, a group of protesters took to the streets. Now, there have been unconfirmed reports of shots being fired and rocks being thrown at Police Officers<\/a> and their cars. Witnesses say the windows of at least one business were smashed and people were seen running out of the store with merchandise. Ferguson erupted into days of protests and violence after a white Police Officer<\/a> fatally shot an unarmed africanamerican teenager last month. The u. S. President called for a global effort to reduce Carbon Emissions<\/a> in a speech at the u. N. Climate summit in new york. Barack obama specifically called on china. Thats the worlds biggest polluter. To help lead the way. At the summit the chinese vice premier said his country is willing to work to tackle the issue. Mr. Obama said the biggest nations need to set an example for the rest of the world to follow. Listen. Yes, this is hard, but there should be no question that the United States<\/a> of america is stepping up to the plate. We recognize our role in creating this problem. We embrace our responsibility to combat it. We will do our part, and we will help developing nations do theirs. But we can only succeed in combating Climate Change<\/a> if we are joined in this effort by every nation. Developed and developing alike. Nobody gets a pass. Now, hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio<\/a> also spoke at the United Nations<\/a> summit. Hes urging World Leaders<\/a> to act now on Climate Change<\/a>. As an actor i pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters, often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at Climate Change<\/a> in that same way, as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that Climate Change<\/a> wasnt real would somehow make it go away. But i think we all know better than that now. Dicaprio recently was named a u. N. Messenger of peace with a special focus on Climate Change<\/a>. Well, raqqa is the de facto capital of isis in syria. Yeah. It bore the brunt of the first wave of u. S. Led air strikes in the country. Coming up next hour, well take a closer look at this isis stronghold. Do stay with us. The news continues here at cnn. Because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. And its not a narcotic. You and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. All prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have Heart Disease<\/a> or risk factors such as high Blood Pressure<\/a> or when nsaids are taken for long periods. Nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. Get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex. For a body in motion. In the country.
