Good morning. Im christine romans. John berman has the morning off. The white house is gearing up for a showdown over immigration. A range of options for president obama. Possibly giving green cards. Demanding the white house slow down and negotiate. We would like for the president to recognize reality that he has the government that he has. Not the one he wishes he had. We will fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. An executive order on immigration could be announced as soon as next week once the president returns from his eightday trip to asia. With the president this morning is jim acosta. Jim, nice to see you. The republicans say you can not go down this path without necessigotiating with the republicans. What is on the table here for the president and immigration . Reporter we heard from the president in myanmar. He had a conference with an sangsuu ki. A couple of details about the plan that the president will take by executive action. That plan includes a deferment of deportations that exist for children brought into the country. That is extended to the parents of those children and potentially extended to the parents of children born in the u. S. , but parents undocumented. You add that up, you have 5 Million People who could get relief under the president s plan. The president said in myanmar because republicans and congress have not acted, he is going to act. He is going to act soon. Heres what he had to say. I indicated to Speaker Boehner several months ago if in fact congress failed to act, i would use the Lawful Authority that i possess to try to make the system work better. Thats going to happen. That will happen before the end of the year. Reporter one thing we should point out the senior white house officials told us the president has not reviewed the final recommendations from the administration for the plan. No final decisions have been made and potentially, christine, things will change before the president acts. The president is obviously going to have a lot to chew on before he returns to washington. He has the g20 summit later on this weekend. He will have a lot of opposition from republicans. Let me ask you this, he is also under a lot of pressure for the promises that got him elected twice. Something he would do on immigration. Reporter that is right. I remember covering his campaign in 2008. The president was promising to act on Immigration Reform. The president said this is a debate going on for ten years. He wants to end that debate. And you remember the opposition on capitol hill. John boehner said they will fight this tooth and nail. What is not clear is how they will do it. Will they decide to hold up legislation . That vote is coming up shortly. There are some republicans talking about impeachment. It will be feisty when the president gets back to washington. A lot of details to work out. How long people have been here and who qualifies and that will all be sticky stuff. Thank you, jim. Secret Service Officials trying to explain the series of blunders allowed fence jumper Omar Gonzalez get into the white house in september. A devastating report released thursday describing confusion, training breakdowns and communications failures. Cnns joe johns in the white house. Reporter a disturbing report from the secret service. What happened on september 19th when Omar Gonzalez comes over the fence and proceeds to go into the east room of the white house. Among other things, the report says a canine technician was stationed in a van with his dog parked on the white house driveway when gonzalez jumped the north fence. The canine officer was on a call on his personal cell phone on speaker without his ear piece and he left his second tactical radio in his locker. There were other problems when gonzalez got to the north portico, he had to go through bushes. Authorities did not think anybody could go through the bushes, but gonzalez did. He proceeded to go through the doors of the portico and on into the building, pushing back a female secret Service Officer who tried to tackle him, but he was too big. Authorities say there were at least three encounters between gonzalez and Law Enforcement officers this year. July 19, july 21st and august 25th. He had guns and ammunition and four hatchets. Authorities say no one has been disciplined and no one has been fired because that cannot happen until all of the investigations have been completed. Joe johns for us at the white house. U. S. Military leaders trying to convince lawmakers the president s strategy against isis can work. Telling chuck hagel thursday that months of Coalition Air strikes have stalled. Mark dempsey is ruling out asking president obama to send Ground Troops to iraq. At this point, i recommend that those forces in mosul and along the border accompanied by u. S. Forces. The speaker on the audio message posted by isis cams he is abu bakr al bagdadi. This just days after iraqi officials claim that al bagdadi was injured in an air strike. With the latest on the fight on isis, i want to be joined by arwa damon. Bring us up to speed. Reporter good morning, christine. In that audio message that was released just under a week after there were widespread reports that al bagdadi had been injured, isis leader has a very clear message to his supporters. That is to create volcanos of jihad. There are some clues within the 17minute message as to when it may have been recorded. He makes direct reference to the 1,500 troops president obama has begun to send into iraq. He also had this warning for the united states. That they would eventually be forced to shift from advise and assist position to one of actual active combat and more u. S. Soldiers would lose their lives. He also made direct reference to the pledges of allegiance being made by a number of groups. Some of which are outside of the region in north africa, egypt, libya, algeria. For some of the groups, he had a direct message and saudi arabia calling on the organizations to launch direct attacks against the saudi royal family. We cannot verify the authenticity of the recording. It was released on the official web page of isis media branch. It seems the organization has one clear aim. That is to send out a clear message that its leader is not only alive and well, but the organization at least in its own perspective is very much at this stage thriving and according to al bagdadi, defeating the u. S. Led coalition efforts. Arwa damon, thank you. U. S. War planes finished a third round of air strikes against khorasan in syria. The targets included one top khorasan operative.

The last time someone did that in Major League Baseball was in 1968 when bob gibson did it. Happening now. Russian tanks rolling into ukraine. Thousands of troops pouring in. Fighting wages between the prorussian separatists. Russia loudly denying thursday it is sending military forces in ukraine. This comes on claims to the contrary by ukraine, nato and other officials. Russian tanks and artillery and Defense Systems are crossing the border into ukraine to help prorussian rebels. U. S. Forces have stopped short of calling it an invasion. We have phil black in Eastern Ukraine with the latest. The russians denying they are moving into a sovereign country and sovereign territory. American, nato and ukraine officials are saying otherwise. This has been happening for months. Reporter it is been going on for almost a year. Two competing versions of the truth. The fighting which is intense. The area and airport outside of donetsk. It is further proof the ceasefire declared with the Ukrainian Government and separatists back in september doesnt mean much. Never lived up to its name. There has been hope that the end of the fighting has been blown away because of the escalation on the fighting, but because of the assessments by the Ukrainian Government and nato and european oth observers on the ground. The heavy weaponry within the separatists area. Russia again denying totally that it has any military presence in ukraine. Ukrainian government, it says that doesnt mean a lot to us. We heard this before and we know what happens next. The Ukrainian Government believes in situations like this and it knows through experience when a large number of professional heavily armed soldiers has turned up on its territory, it usually points to some sort of imminent military action. Again, what were talking about are the little green men in unmarked uniform with heavy weapons and armorred vehicles and tanks. The Ukrainian Government is concerned. What it doesnt know is the scale and intent of the operation. Whether it will be limited aimed at seizing a few key pieces of infrastructure and sites, or something larger or another fullscale operation designed to seize a wider area of ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian Government is preparing for the worst. It is getting ready to repel the fullsized offensive. Thank you, phil black in ukraine.
