 From middle east to North Africa, we are moving fast to start the Tuesday show. US air strike in the town Kobani. It's in the northern Syria near the border of Turkey. It becomes a problem for the ISIS terrorist group. Unlike some other town in this region, that fell to the ISIS. The kurds and ethnic¹ groups have fought to regain² the control of much of Kobani about 70% of the city. US led the strike to help along the air drop of weapons ammo and medical equipment that happened Sunday night. The Obama administration says it looks like the supplies failed to the right hands. Kobani is the only city under attack from ISIS terrorists. Yesterday they launched 15 attacks on Kurdish forces in Iraq. US military say the fight against ISIS won't be quick.

Spinning the globe to Dallas Texas. Some hopeful news to tell you about the Ebola virus. Yesterday a Dallas county judge cleared more than 40 people who had contacted Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan.  Judge said none of these people show symptoms of Ebola for 21 days. Would doctors consider the maximum occupation period for the virus. So the quarantine is over. 2 nurses who apparently³ caught the Ebola from Duncan still hospitalized and though Nigeria and Senegal said they are officially Ebola-free, the diseases are still spreading rapidly in the west African nations like Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone . 

Just mentioned Nigeria, it was the news from the very different reason back in April. That was a Boko Haram terrorist group kidnapped hundreds of girls from a boarding school in northeast Nigeria. Country's government says it reached a deal with Boko Haram to set the girls free, but that hasn't happened yet. And terrorist group continues to attack some civilian⁴. Bring back our girls, the world has cried. "The girls in Nigeria are my sisters. It's my responsibilities to speak for my sisters." "Grown man are tempting⁵ to snapping out the aspiration⁶ of young girls." "It's infuriating and it's a kind of going beyond our understanding, somebody could do this. "It's been six months since almost 300 girls were taken from the school in the dead of nights after the hands of Boko Haram, the Islamic terror group. Overwhelming majority come to the fort. More than 5 million people have twittered:Bring back our girls. The social media campaign with Vira of Neight after the girls vanished and hasn't stopped.  Now the news Friday. There has been a huge breakthrough in the kidnapping global campaign Bring back our girls. The deal was expected to include the release of more than 200 kidnapped school girls. The government made an announcement of cease fire. They said step forward bringing girls home. The terrorists Boko Haram says the girls are live and well, and the discussion would continue in the action subsequently. All the efforts are towards to release of girls. Skepticism still spread by many. We wanna be able to see any evidence of this deal. It could help a lot and I'm sure that majority of Nigeria also are thinking the same thing. Boko Haram hasn't yet responded to Nigeria's claim. The news has brought cautious optimism. Online campaigners say they won't stop until the girls are back. More than 180 days since their abduction, hope and more waiting.
