King abdullah has ruled the country since the death of his half brother the royal court immediately named him a successor as the former crown prince. Hes the half brother and has been the countrys defense minister since 2012. He has named his half brother as crown prince and heir. Cnn had a chance to speak on the phone with the kings nephew. He says the kings death is a shock to the nation but the transition to the new king has been swift. He went on to say that king salaman is a modern person. He says he will see more opens. There is no doubt that we have to begin incorporating into the International Community and society. Lets get more from the region. Hello. Hello. Here is what we know. In a few hours from now at about 3 00 p. M. Local time in saudi arabia the funeral is set to take place at the prince mosque. There that will be followed by the burial. Dignitaries and World Leaders have announced they will be heading to saudi arab that. The jordan leader has cut short a visit to the World Economic forum, the president of egypt and Vice President joe bide listen will be heading a president ial dell occasion to pay respects. Following the burial the royal court will open its doors to morner s morners this is a process that is expected to take several days. And the new king what challenges what issues will he face regarding the region there . Whats going on with the isis situation and ser yooyria and iran etc. We should expect a lot of the same. The same kind of policies we have seen in saudi arabia. Since 2012 he has been playing a key part. Hes been chairing meetings of the cabinet there. F isis and the fight against radical extremism in the region. All of this is very troubling for add saudi arabia. Many eyes will be on saudi arabia to see if it can continue its fight against isis. They have a key part to play here by combatting the ideology. And also to try to cut those individuals funding that really is isis lifeline. Among many other things of course its relationship or rivalry really with iran. The other real power house in this region. Different countries between sunni, saudi arabia and more. Thank you so much. It has been more than an hour since an apparent deadline set by isis to save two japanese hostages have expired. Nhk says isi will release a statement soon. The government says the government is extremely severe but japan will continue to work to try to win the release of the hostages. So will this is what . The deadline has passed. For the families of hostages it must be unthinkable. To have your loved one disappear in syria only for them to reappear or standing wielding a knife its awful. And more and more here we are seeing the foe kaus. To these dangerous places it was not to advance his career or promote himself. He was passionate about telling stories and trying to help people. Pe haps he should swho crypt to ending this violence. And we may not have that sound for you. We played it last hour but you heard his mother say that her son is not an enemy of isis and if they would get to know him they would realize hes there to tell a fair and balanced story. Those pleas from mothers have no impact. We fear the outcome will be what it was in the past. Public opinion here as we have been talking is understandably split. Pretty much everybody here agree they want these men to come home safely. However there is real question about what the consequences would be of putting money, potentially millions of dollars into the hands of a terror group like isis. The numbers have been weakened as a result of this Coalition Military action against them. So by providing them with millions of dollars, could that put more people in danger . Could that motivate them to put more families through with bha these families here why japan are going through. Japan, unlike the United States and britain is not so hard lined on not providing ransom for hostages release. Officially the japanese government is not answering a question. Of course the 200 million is saying that the japanese government has contributed. It is that number and that is why it is so high. U. S. Officials say the american Led Coalition fighting isis is having a devastating impact. Thousands have been killed but some in the United States are cautious about this and say the battle is far from over. We get our details now from jim. Kurdish fighters on the offensive against northern iraq. Now for the first time the u. S. Central command is claiming significant and measurable losses. The result of element 2,000 air strikes, 6,000 isis fighters killed including approximately half of their commanders. And 200 oil and gas facilities a major source of revenue for the terror group. Almost 2,000 strikes in syria and iraq have had a high degree of precision and accuracy. We have seen definitively momentum halted in iraq. In some cases reversed. Military officials warn that the numbers are just an estimate and chuck hailel questioned the value of this war or any other. I have not seen any verification. Is that the measurement or significant measurement of progress . It is a measurement but i dont think it is the measurement. I have i was in a war every day. Iraqs second larnlest city from isis control. Isis is getting stronger. We have rolled back some isis pressure from some of the towns in iraq. The same kant be said about syria. Thanks to jim for that report. He adds that isis has been able to replenish its ranks from recruits of new fighters. Coming up here after a break we will turn to yemen.

Boy once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. One day, it started to rain. The house tried to keep out all the water, but water got inside and ruined everybodys everythings. The house thought she let the family down. They just didnt think it could happen. They told the house they would take better care of her. Always. Announcer protect what matters. Get flood insurance. Critics say the program wasted billions of public funds in an effort to change the ruling base. If found guilty she would face a maximum of ten years in jail. Earlier today the countrys military appointed assembly overwhelmingly voted to impeach her. Ge and consequence in yemen, the president , Vice President , and cabinet have resigned after days of turmoil here. A political deal that last night seemed by some kind of road map ahead requiring the militia in key government buildings to withdraw in extrang for huge political concession from the guilty. Clearly today it began to falter. Were hearing the sound of gunfire now. The president no longer wants to continue in their roles. They no longer want to be part of paraphrasing here. We do not know quite what comes after the president. Obviously the dominant force on the streets has been the Political Movement here. May assume the role of president in the days ahead they have been very successful in moving across the capital. Successful in putting great pressure politically and on the streets against this government. A huge issue here for the United States. This is a key ally in the war on terrorism. Who do they call . They may have a challenge at forming a relationship with the United States in the days and months ahead. Nick peyton walsh, cnn yemen.

Most are learning that the king has now died and people have been paying their respects. And Vice President joe biden will represent the United States today at this funeral. Egypts president and the king of jordan will also be there. Here is nick with more about this change. We can expect the funeral to be quite short. There will not be a lot of ceremony at the grave site. I was in saudi arabia when abdullah was crowned. Everyone gathering at a balance. They will walk through the cemetery. Very, very simple and quick procedure if you will. I call it that rather than a service because its over rather quickly. Everyone mauves off and goes to pay their respects and pay tribute to the new king. That will happen in one of the palaces. He will receive the condolences or the respect of World Leaders. The cultural tra tigss are from the desert. The center saudi arabia the cultural tradition. People moving on through the deserts. Their graves very simple not marked with a headstone, almost forgotten. That will be a very, very brief affair in the cemetery. David is a senior fellow he joins us via skype in washington. I wonder if you can tell us what exactly is happening in mecca right now. Can you explain what is going on there . People are trying to come to krips with a change in leadership. He is what . 79 going on 80 . The crown prince is believed to have health problems. Thats when the problems could begin. This is an issue when the late king was appointed the number three. There are two Big Decisions that can be made in this regard and there will no doubt be very significant battles over this. It is the next waying and else matly there will be the question of who gets appointed to be the next crown prince after the current crown prince. It sounds silly in terms of the title but it is very empty. Its a bit like here is the king just like the old king. You staying us with us. We will have more on the death of saudi King A Abdullah just ahead. Plus more bloodshed and finger pointing nm the ukraine. E this ball control . You see this right .

There is security concerns after yemens prescribe and cabinet all resigned under pressure from rebels. A deadline has expired. 200 million to save hostages. The kror group is said to release a statement soon. Saudi arabias king passed away after battling pneumonia. For years saudi ayab has had been in power. It was a very positive driving force. This is in the poll since tns the it has always been a policy to have the best of relations and cooperation and undering. Therefore i expect that this will continue and it will be decline. Sorry. But mr. Secretary one of the greatest achievements was that he provided a pierce of great stoblt while instituting some much needed reform. In the context of saudi arabia they were considered to be great confidence. His leader shi is on the right campus. Argest oil exporter ss we are there covering that. Resort is headed back for the funeral of the late king. Oil continues to dominate the debate probably in saudi arabia. This is one of the german newspapers it is raising the issue of the oil price. They are pointing out that the oil literally has some economies over a barrel. Over a barrel of the gun rather than oil itself. It did not actually reach the 50 garls a night. But the big question is will this change at the helm. And their Economic Policy is linked to oil this is the largest Oil Producing nation anywhere in the world. Its the largest men of opec with the Largest Oil Reserves anywhere on the planet. It was instrumental to keep production at their current levels and thaz has caused the price of oil to spiral. We know because they are the oil kings, the family are the richest in the world as well. Remind us why has saudi arabia refused to cut back on production . Sit a very high stakes game of who will blink first. But also they are trying to catch out some say nations like iran and russia. A famous faux of saw dee arabia. We also also mention that jer kerry will be holding a speech. He is likely to address all of these issue and before that the french president will be taking to the podium. He will probably mention his condolences and will probably also mention the issue of violence. As you said before, the Saudi Arabian royal family. The recent slide in new york price has started with saw die arabias own finances. Precisely to reflect the hit that this country is taking from the singeing oil prices. Much of this will be discussed throughout the day there. Thank you so much. Shawn . Natalie, ukraines president is warning pro russian rebels that if they dont abide by a cease fire they will be punched in the teeth. St couple of days. Much of the focus has been around the airport which has become symbolically important. Its their last toe hold in that region. Have dented the confidence of the president. Separately to that more violence elsewhere in the region as well. Particularly that attack on a trolly bus. There with us a cease fire agreement made late last year. It never really went into effect. Given the escalation in the fighting is there any chance that these two sides could have political settlement here . Its certainly possible. The problem is that on the ground the fighting may take on a momentum of its own. That can lead to things spiralling out of control. But youre right. There has been a truce agreed. D of military gains. Thanks matthew. The United States and cuba wrapped up two days of historic talks through restored diplomatic relations. Further discussions are said to be needed to put more than five decades behind them. The u. S. Hopes cuba will agree to reopen embassy sies.

I just wish to reit rate and reaffirm statements that have already been made by buckingham palace. My focus is on my work. Prince andrew was named in a sex abuse lawsuit earlier this month but he is not party to any legal proceedings. Reports of an inappropriate relationship and a found body are telling a much more dramatic story as we learn. The navy says it has relieved nedleton of his duty. A u. S. Official told me it was over an inappropriate relationship but that alleged relationship only came to light after discovery of a body. He is accused of having an alleged extramarital affair with a woman who was married. It all began with 42yearold commissary worker a father of two married for 19 years was reported missing january 10 by his wife. The next day he was discovered by the u. S. Coast guard dead in the guantanamo bay. D to the death. It was totally inappropriate . But the alleged love triangle has nothing to do with the guantanamo prison. Inside the prison itself he has nothing to do with that. That is run by intelligence agencies run by the army to insure that everybody in there was well cared for. He has not been named a suspect. His widow has not spoken about the alleged affair. Providing all of those services. But not involved in anything. In american football the head coach and the quarterback of the new England Patriots both denied any wrong doing after allegations the teams footballs were deplated. Definitely a no no. Loading to a spot in the super bowl. Tom brady said hes not a cheater and would never break the rules. I didnt you know have any i didnt alter the ball in my way. The footballs that i want to use for the game. Is tom brady a cheater . I dont believe so. New england said the footballs were properly inflated. No word yet on what the nfl plans to do on the deflate gate scandal. An apparent accident has left king tutt and his mask seriously damaged. Just the mask. King tut is dead. Before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account.

With great taste and 100 complete nutrition, its the only one cats ask for by name. The iconic blue and gold burial beard of king tuts barrel mask was knocked off and glued back on with adhesive. It was epoxy and a little tape. These were photos before the accident. Look how good it looks there. Slim. There is now a gap in between tuts face and the beard. You can see it there. To add insult to injury some of the dry adhesive was scraped off with a spat la leaving permanent scratch marks. The mask is more than 33 years old.

The video was shotd over a couple of days. Check out his grand finale. A rotation of going to the deck amid diners. He slides on the rail launches on to the gondola, cutting the line and leaving those waiting on the other side of the closing door. Is this real or fake people asked . The jumps are definitely dead. Twice in the video we see birds that do not exist in france. He said the birds were added same for the tw people in the chair lift but those are real diners in the deck. And no diners were killed in the making of this scene. At one point my skis went close to someone but no one got hurt. And there were no hurt feelings about him cutting the line to the gondola. They were all in on it happy to be props for a skier who deserves props. Cnn new york. That is the craziest thing i have ever seen. Too cool for this newscast. So were going to go.
