Theyre hoping someone might recognize this individual and provide the piece of information that helps them figure out who he is. The fbi says this is part of a broader outreach to help get the public help identify people who are traveling overseas to fight with terror groups.

Police are not saying that specifically, what we do understand, though, is that this may have been a plot that the police have thwarted in its early stages, again, precisely, what type of plot that isnt clear at the moment. But the Police Continue not only to question those four men, but theyre investigating premises in the center and west of london, that were involved in the arrest operation. And vehicles that they seized, again, during that arrest operation. Perhaps there will be more details forth coming in the not too distant future. But is this very typical of british authorities newt give away any details. Or very few details in these early stages, christine, john. Nic robertson, thanks for that nic.

Just another day at norfolk southern. Overnight, Coalition Aircraft flying air strikes against isis fighters trying to take the city of kobani. Thats on syrias border with turkey. A cnn crew captured footage of this bombing mission. But Coalition Efforts are looking increasingly future. With several u. S. Officials telling cnn on tuesday that kobani will fall and soon. Get this, those same Officials Say kobani is not a u. S. Priority. This despite pleas by the u. N. Special enjoy for syria by the International Community to step in and help the kurdish fighters to save that city. Standing by live in a turk kir Syrian Border is cnns arwa damon. Arwa, give us a sense of whats going on on the ground. Well, its hard to imagine how that rhetoric from the u. S. Is resonating here among of the kurdish population who fail to understand how it is that the u. S. Can simply say that kobani not a priority, and allow isis to take over when they have aircraft overhead. That being said, john, there have been a smattering of air strikes that have made a difference on the ground. A senior kurdish official that we spoke to in kobani said that the kurdish fighters have managed to push isis to the perimeter of the city of kobani. There have been sporadic clashes in the southeast. We heard a number of explosions, smoke has been rising on the horizon. What youre seeing is the smoke rising, seemingly from the southwestern part of the city. But the fighters there, although they do feel that now perhaps they have made some gains against isis do want to see and do believe that the u. S. And this coalition has a burden of responsibility, despite the fact that the u. S. Is saying its not necessarily its priority. They also want to see additional assistance from turkey. A lot of anger and frustration with regards to turkeys position on what is happening. The kurds want to see turkey allow them a corridor that would provide additional weapons support. Turkey saying at this stage that is something of a nonstarter. Theyre not going to simply arm the Kurdish Fighting force. But the turks did come out and say they would be willing to be pat of a broader military operation, focused not on just taking out isis. But a lost underlying politics when it comes to the kurds. And the kurds feel its government between iraq and syria, john. It has to be incredibly frustrating for the people of that city as it falls in turkey and the rest of the world watches. New concerns about chemical weapons in syria. According to the u. N. , syria has revealed four previously undisclosed chemical weapons facilities. Government officials claim three are for research and development. One is for production. 1300 tons of declared chemical weapons have been removed from the country. Now, International Inspectors are focusing on the destruction of syrias wednesday facilities. Where is kim jongun, north koreas leader has not been seen officially for a month now. Officials say the 31yearold kim is, quote, suffering from discomfort. What does that mean. His absence has triggered wild speculation about whether hes still in control. This past week, a surprise visit to pyongyang, he was not part of it. It allows for speculation, these conspiracy theories.

My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time.

While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines.

If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me.
