Embassy in baghdad as well as the u. S. Consulate in ishi erbil. Our citizens are being relocated. The state department is tressing, however, that both those diplomatic facilities will remain open with limited staff for now. The pentagon says u. S. Aircraft have hit fresh targets from the air, with a lot of activity in the past 24 hours. These are weapons targets controlled by i. S. I. S. , thats
been threatening the city of erbil. As i mentioned or consulate is there. Thats a key air to know about, as we get reengaged it would away. Erbil is controlled by kurdish fighters, home to the u. S. Consulate that is open with limited staff, as i just talked about. Thats here. About 77 miles away, so not too long of a distance away is mosul, iraqs second largest city. Here and here, but those two areas, the enemy is controlling the area between and just outside of mosul. It has been the site of several air drops, u. S. Trying to help thousands of meanwhile, were trying to help them, because theres no war or food for them. These are new developments
coming out of baghdad. New records that iraqi forces, just in the last few minutes, royal to nuri al mall can i have just been deployed inside the green zone. Were not exactly sure why, were trying to confirm. This may be an effort to prevent mall can i from being removed from power. He spoke to them just a short time ago. While the bloodshift is raging on. The United States alone has dropped more than 52,000 meals and thousands of gallons of water to thousands of people who are pleaing the carnage. I. S. I. S. Has taken over iraqs largest christian territory. Some christians are seeking shelter as the killers have given them a simple choice. You can die or convert to islam. Wendell goler is traveling with
the patient at martha an vineyard. Critics dont seem to like the way the fight is beginning. Reporter youre right, harris, but the president doesnt think its our fight. He says its up to the iraqiss, though the u. S. Will hold out of i. S. I. S. Mr. Obama says his and protecting the tens of thousands of refugees on sinjar mountain until a corridor can be established, but some republicans want the u. S. To take the fight to i. S. I. S. And not just in iraq, but in syria as well. If he doesnt go on the offensive, they are coming here, this is just not about baghdad, this is not about syria. Its about our homeland. Other critics called it pin
predicts. How is the white house responding . He says it would enable the shia majority to continue its bias which helped to fuel the rebellion in the first place. As you notice, at the start, malaki may have frustrated that, announcing hell file suit against the countrys president. Mr. Obama says theres a lesson here for afghanistan. Whether its, you know, different ethnicities, different regions, they have to accommodate each other. Otherwise you start tipping back into old patterns of violence, and it doesnt matter how many u. S. Troops are there if that happens. You end up having a mess. The president says while the u. S. Involvement wont be over soon, it also wont continue indefinitely. Wendell goler, thank you very much. Pope francis is calling for an end to the violence in iraq. He said the news in iraq leaves christians around the world in dismay and disbelief. He also expressed outrage house i. S. I. S. Is manipulating their faith to target christians and other religious minorities. Translator all these facts seriously offend god and humanity. You cannot bring hate in the name of god. You cannot make war in the name of god. The pope also offered prayers for the violence in gaza. Thats where we go next. Right now israel and hamas are about two hours into a brandnew ceasefi ceasefire. Both sides accepting egypts proposal. The Israeli Air Force started 25 sites in gaza. It some remain skeptical after the breakdown of, rick levin that will, live in gaza city. Any sign that this temporary truce will lead to anything more longlasting . Harris, there have been reports that palestinians may be softening their stance on some key demands. But this doesnt stop hamas from launching rockets. Wave after wave of rockets, leaving gaza toward israel, the attacks launched up into the midnight fire deadline with several rockets intercepted by the iron dome. The sirens, of course, were sounding in south and center
israel, just minutes better the ceasefire began at midnight. The talks were told will resume in the morning. The blockade and loosening of the border restrictions, harris, also the key point would be a longerterm peace here in the middle east. And gaza paying a huge price for the hostilities by hamas. Reporter absolutely. We saw a number of air strikes throughout this day and this evening to our north as well as to our south. The palestinians report there were seven more People Killed today, including a 14yearold boy and 35yearold woman. Were also told the body guard of a has ma leader was also killed today. There have been about 5,000 strikes since this conflict began over a month ago with nearly 2,000 dead, 9,000 wounded, and of course hundreds of thousands reported homeless because the construction is so widespread. Some power is trickling back on
as they repair some of the sidelines that were damaged during the conflict. Some of them being repaired, but most of gaza still in the dark. Still not good running water, also sewage issues here, so theyre hoping with the three days of peace theyre expecting perhaps they can get more aid into the people that need it. Rick levin that will, thank you. Lets go to nascar. 9 death of a driver is under investigation. One of the racing ace biggest stars, tony stewart was at the wheel of the car that hit kevin ward jr. No evidence to support the race in upstate new york, the whole thing captured on video. Stewart and ward apparently jockeying for position, when ward crashes into the wall. He then gets out of the car, walked straight out into the crowded racetrack. He looks angry here. Cars go screaming by. One almost hit him, then the moment of impact. The collision killed kevin ward jr. He was in his fifth season. Leland vitter is her. It doesnt matter if you freeze it or not its incredibly chilling to watch. One of the things, stewarts team said he would be racing today and just a couple hours before race time reversed their decision and the nascar decided to sit out obviously because of the department. The trash occurred on a dirt track. Sprint car racing, this is amateur video of the event going on there. However, it shows what appears to be the car colliding with a car driven by kevin ward. Stewarts car, theres wards car there. Ward gets out of his car and starts walking on the track. He appears to try to confront stewart as he comes around on the next lap. Okay. Right there you see it. Thats when stewarts car collides with ward, throwing him along the track. It was a terrible collision. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. There is no evidence in hand or no facts that would spore a criminal charge or support criminal intent on the part of anybody. An executive for the racing would not go into details today. My hearts obviously go out to kevin and his family, thoughts and prayers, this is an emotional time for everybody. A short statement was released in part there arent words to describe the sadness i feel about the accident that took the life of kevin ward jr. Its a very emotional time for all involved and the reason i have decided not to participate in todays race at watkins glen that he was scheduled to. The Sheriffs Department also asked for inible with amateur video to come forward, and going out of the way to say that stewart has fully cooperated, and at least according to the Sheriffs Office promised to continue to do so. A couple things jump out at me. I didnt think of this earlier, but now i want to know more about the cars. When you this i of the dirt track and these are more practice cars, these cars are still flies. Some gets up to 120 miles an hour, almost like nascars minor leagues. You have a lot of famous names who came up through these ranks, they only cost about 10,000 or 15,000 to get into, and if you notice some of the pictures of the car, they want a wing on top. Theyre going so fast, they need extra help to push down on the dirt track. And i understand its a short track, to get the carts to slow down if something is in the middle of the track like a human being will be different to do anyway. That was the original crash that happened. Theyre skidding around those corners at 80, 90, 100 miles an hour, then trying to accelerate. Youre talking about fraction of seconds in feet here. Very thats not all that uncommon. What i had read is they get upset and you can imagine. Leland, thank you very much. Right now, a group of thrill seekers getting more than they bargained for today. Rescue workers were helping to get the last riders back on solid ground a short time ago. The popular Amusement Park thats trying to figure out what cause add roller coastest to get stuck. Look at the view from there. Plus Hillary Clinton with some comments about president obamas foreign policy.

A real political stunner in hawaii. Democrat governor neil
abercrombie has lost hi bid for reelection, despite the backing of president obama, he had a wellfunded campaign, and 40 years of experience. Who won . State senator and fellow democrat david inge, once seen as the underdog. Will, two questions. Why is this getting such attention . Aloha. Here after a big storm, hawaiians got out to vote and decided to spend their governor. David igae, even he seemed a bit surprised by the final margin. His supporters tell us that its all about new blood. Hes fresh air. Fresh air. Because there have been a lot of things that have gone on that we didnt really know about. And perhaps this one will open up. Neil abercrombie is kind of over it. Reporter a lot of voters felt like that, harris, even with president obama recording a radio spot for abercrombie. Obviously he lost by a devastating margin. I can tell you that he showed up with what they say here, with the aloha spirit last night to the Celebration Party and he vowed he will back the democrat this november. Harris . Very interesting. Our political insiders tell me they want to react to this race. It may be the harbinger of something to come. Meanwhile, i heard you mention the weather and a big
deal, because weve been covering that iselle storm. How did that have an impact on this election . Reporter it did end up having a direct impact on the primaries, in terms of two precincts had to postpone their primaries yesterday. Those two precincts could have a big impact on a race that has a razorthin margin in the democratic primary for u. S. Senate. Right now incumbent brian schott is leading by hanabusa. The voters will be sent absentee ballots. I can tell you, harris, the buzz is about the governors race, the upset, obviously he lost and lost big. Will carr, thank you very much.

An update on the Ebola Outbreak in west after ska, including news about a child who doctors say may have been patient zero.

Family members identifying the victim as 1yearold Michael Brown circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Dominic will pick up the story from our west coast news office on this. About 100 or so people confronted police in the neighborhood of ferguson. This was last night they came out quickly. They threatened the police quite aggressively, with shouts from the crowds. Very different stories. A friend who was with brown versus what the police say. His friend saying they were walking together in the road when a cop pulled up, started harassing them, and ended up grabbing martin brown. Apparently brown broke free, but the cop shot him repeatedly, said his friends. Hi put his hands in the air, started to get down, but the officer approached with his weapons drawn, and he fired several more shots, and my friend died. He didnt say anything to him. But the police chief described a man pushing the officer back in the car, and he was then physically assaulted. Listen. It is our United States that within the investigation there was a struggle over the officers weapon. There was at least one shot fired within the car. After that, the officer came
back out of the car. He exited his vehicle, and there was a shooting that occurred. You can see her there shouting in her anguish there. There was a memorial on sunday morning. Tomorrow morning were expecting another morning in terms of a process rally outside Ferguson Police station. As for the officer involved, hiss a sixyear veteran.
