David begnaud, thank you. The u. S. Is using new cyberweapons against isis computers. A u. S. General said the attacks are highly effective and classified. Yesterday the president said 250 special forces troops will be joining 50 already in syria to coordinate 30,000 local fighters. We asked Holly Williams to bring us up to date on the fight against isis in syria and iraq. Reporter iraq says it is now fully recaptured the hat, which sits in a key strategic position on an isis supply line between iraq and syria. It is the latest in a string of iraqi victories. As American Military advisers in iraq are moved closer to the front line with isis. In all, isis has lost 40 of the territory it once controlled in iraq. According to u. S. Officials. They also claim that Coalition Air strikes have killed 25,000 isis militants in iraq and syria. And the pentagon says only 200 foreign fighters are joining the extremists each month. Down from 1500 a year ago. But the numbers dont tell the whole story. Isis still controls the city of fallujah and u. S. Military advisers are now back in the surrounding province of anbar, one of the bloodiest battlefield after the American Invasion of iraq. Mosul, ir city has been ruled by isis since 2014. But according to a u. S. Intelligence official, mosul probably wont be recaptured before next year. Across the border in syria, Regime Forces and kurdisharab alliance backed by the u. S. Are both closing in on raqqa, the socalled isis capital. Even if isis is defeated in syria, thats unlikely to end the countrys bloody, multisided civil war. The syrian ceasefire agreed two months ago is now in tatters. As Regime Forces pummel the city of aleppo. Even if isis is completely stripped of its territory, at least some of its fighters would probably then turn to guerrilla warfare. Scott, were already seeing isis use those tactics around ramadi which was recaptured from the group in february. Turkey tonight. Holly, thanks. In another important story, an fda panel rejected the pleas of of parents whose children from a rare always fay fal dtal disease. An experimental drug shows promise. The panel wasnt convinced. See for yourself in the story from jim axel rotd. Austins view from his wheelchair is dire. Most kids with my disability are on death row. Toward the end of their lives. Reporter he and his brother max suffer from duchenne, muscular dystrophy, a muscle wasting disease that is fatal typically by age 25. Reporter whats the roughest part of this whole deal . Everybody else not being able to be on the drug. Reporter the drug, eteplirsen isnt a secure but slows down duchenne helping restore a missing protein. Up to 15,000 buenoai austin and max are two of roughly 100 kids in clinical trials. I do believe this is holding the kids from the the edge of the cliff. Jennifer mcnary is their mother. She has seen austin maintain certain functions on the drug and regain others like raising his arm above his head. Yes reporter max one of the first to get eteplirsen is still walking four years later. It almost worse to be shown something that could treat your children and then to be told it could be taken away than it is to just come to terms with having children that are ill. Why is the fda so focused on outliars. Reporter yesterday an Fda Advisory Committee held a hearing before voting to recommend the drugs approval. The small size of the trial raised red flags for the committee as well as questions about the drugs effectiveness which didnt set well with austin. I can only guess that you dont know anythingbo duchenne. Even tossing a football inside the hearing room to demonstrate the drugs benefits. Did not sway the committee. They voted against approval 73. The families were devastated. It is an incredibly disappointing day. If we have to go through this for every drug, for duchenne, every rare disease drug, we dont have it in us. Should the fda go along with the Committee Recommendation and deny approval of the drug, the maker of eteplirsen could start over with another trial. That could take years. Scott, that is time these boys who suffer from duchenne just dont have. Not a final decision yet. Jim, thank you very much. Today, a search team found the data recorder belonging to the sunken cargo ship el faro the size of a microwave. Found nearly 3 miles underwater off the bahamas.

Thats the cbs overnight news for this wednesday morning. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. President obama is back at the white house after a week long trip to the middle east and europe. During a stop in germany, the president discussed a variety of global issues in a wide ranging interview with charlie rose. Mr. Obama addressed growing concerns about china and north korea. And his decision to send 250 more american troops to syria. They will help in the fight against isis also known as isil. Us dismantling isil is a priority. Although we are not going to be sending Ground Troops in to fight. We are going to try to to find out what works and then double down. And one of putting special forces in for training, and advising of local forces but also intelligence gathering. Pivot to china. Uhhuh. Your secretary of defense has been in the region. How aggressive do you see the action in the south china sea. Do you worry that they will cross some line in which you will have to respond more aggressively . I have been consistent since being president in believing that a productive, candid, relationship between the United States and china is vital not just to our two countries but to world peace and security. We are a lot better off with a chin that feels confident. Not a zero sum game. It is not a zero sum game. What is true is that they have hey tendency to view some of the immediate regional issues, or dispults, as a zero sum so, with respect to the south china sea, rather than operate under International Norm and rules, their attitude is we are the biggest kids around here. We are going to push aside the philippines or vietnamese, but it doesnt mean that we are frying to act against china. We just want them to be partners with us. Where they break out of International Rules and norms we will hold them to account. North korea finally . North korea is a massive challenge. Our First Priority is to protect the american people. And our al lie allies. They are erratic enough, their leader is personally irresponsible enough that we dont want them getting close. But, its not something that lends itself to an solution. We could obviously destroy north korea with our arsenals. But aside from the humanitarian costs of that, they are right next door to our vital ally republic of korea. One of the things we have been duke is spending a lot more time positioning our Missile Defense systems. So that even as we try to resolve the underlying problem of a of Nuclear Development inside of north korea, we are also setting up a shield that can at least block block the relatively low level threats that theyre posing right now. The president touched on other key topics including europes refugee crisis and his relationship with german leader angela merkel. Mr. Obama also acknowledged International Trade deals have hurt some American Workers but he still hopes an agreement with europe will be finalized before he leaves office. The past has been good for workers. There has been offshoring, seeking primarily low wages or low Environmental Standards and companies can profit and then sell back those goods. Irrespective of what that has done to the communities that they have left. There are legitimate concerns how globalization has proceeded. My argument and, and i think this is hard to dispute is its that the only way to, to change this system is to engage it, not to withdraw from it. Part of our job is not to not to dismiss concerns about globalization. Theyre real and theyre legitimate. It is to argue how do we make globalization which is not going to be reversed any time soon, work for ordinary people how do we make sure it is communities all across america. Or here in europe. And that is something im convinced we can do. We have got to get the facts out. We are in germany. Your favorite, as you have said, your favorite Global Leader who has been with you longest. What is it about you and angela merkel, what is it about her that, that makes you believe that she represents the kind of leadership you need in europe . I think i have an affinity for her. I think like to think she has an affinity for me. We are pretty rational. We both try to analyze a problem and solve it based on, on facts. And reason. And common sense. She believes in free markets. She believes in liberalism. She believes in democracy. She believes in a free press. She believes in plural its m. Willing to make moral decisions not in her political interest. Exactly right. She is a good politician, wouldnt be here that long. If you look at what she is doing with respect to the refugee crisis. Making an argument to the german people. Look, we are prospering now because people invested in us, in a marshal plan, helped us during the reunification. How are you coming together on dealing with migration . And refugees . What i said to them is that this is not just a european problem. This is our problem too. For two reasons. One is that if you have if you have a flood of refugees. And it is disorderly. These are folks who who potentially, if
