Cnns ben wedeman is there. Good morning, ben. Reporter good morning, john. We are near the village of hasan shin. This is where the Kurdish Forces and islamic state. This is where the u. S. Did take on a role taking out isis vehicles during the battle. We are just at a spot about five miles from the isis positions which are just up the road. What is interesting is right behind me, this is a checkpoint on the edge of a bridge and at the bottom is written the islamic state. They were here just nine days ago. If we pan over to the left, you can see a critical bridge. This is the main road to the city occupied by isis. When isis forces took this area, before they left, they blew up this bridge. Kurdish forces have rebuilt or rather built just up the river from here. Now earlier, we spoke with the commander who explained to us the difficulties they are facing. They say they have intensified since tuesday night strikes on syria as well. What they say is they are really lacking essential equipment like night vision goggles and helicopters. The commander was telling me all they have at their disposal is a lot of weaponry. They say he was saying some of the artillery dates back to 1937. They say they do appreciate the u. S. Air strikes, but they need a lot more help because some of the isis units are better armed than they are. John. And better funded which is why isis was hitting the Oil Refineries. Ben wedeman in northern iraq. Interesting to see that building behind you that says isis was here. Now they are not showing you the impact of the round of u. S. And Coalition Efforts. Thank, ben. Top diplomats are warning the fight against isis help syrian dictator bashar al assad. In his address to the United Nations president obama took great pains to say moderate Syrian Rebels. Not assad. The approach was by president obama which was a constructive one, except in the contradiction where the administration would support what he called the syrian opposition. He shouldnt have said that in this way because we are the government. Nobody has the authority or the permission or power toward against a legitimate government elected by its own people. This is the case of the syrian government. Jaafari upset there. The crisis at the border with syria and turkey is wors worseni worsening. This video claims to show militant fighters taking the town of kobani. Hundreds have fled the border in the last few days. At the u. N. On thursday, the total number of refugees in his country is 1. 5 million. He scolded what he called rich and strong European Countries for failing to do their share to help syrian refugees. Our phil black is on the border. He is in the middle of the crisis. For the third day running, phil, we see people who are desperate to flee isis and turkey being careful about opening its borders fully. Tell us what is happening. Reporter christine, through the borders here, you can see crowds of syrians waiting. Some have been made to wait because the turkish government is opening the border at set times. It is carefully letting these people in, screening them and checking them and giving them food and shelter and medical attention. Some of the people are choosing to wait because they brought their livestock with them and they do not want to leave behind their valuable animals. For the moment, their needs outweighs the desire to cross into turkey. The refugees are still coming to the border and that is because of the fighting that is going on south of here in kobani. Isis is still trying to take the city. Local fighters and fighters from turkey who crossed over to help, they have slowed down advance to a significant degree, but they say the fighting and bombardment is intense. People are still making their way to the border caring whatever they can through the hot and dry and dusty landscape. What this means for turkey, which you touched on there, its burden of dealing with the very large number of refugees from syria. It continues to grow. Hundreds of thousands in just a few days on top of the 1. 5 million that you mentioned that crossed over during the duration of the syrian civil conflict. When you talk to aid workers here, and turkish government officials, there is a feeling that turkey is left to carry this burden alone and other countries are not doing enough to help with the humanitarian crisis. Christine. It is a humanitarian crisis. It is important to remember that government figures speaking in new york about what to do in syria and isis, those people there have no choice but to flee the fighting. Thank you, phil black.
