CARL AZUZ, cnn ANCHOR: It`s the last day of September. The day Robinson Crusoe was said to be shipwrecked. My name is Carl Azuz. This is cnn

STUDENT NEWS.

We start today in the Middle East. Afghanistan`s new president Ashraf Ghani was sworn in in yesterday. The country will actually have two

leaders, both Ghani and Abdullah were bitterly divided over who actually won Afghanistan`s presidential election. The U.S. came up with the deal

that allows both of them to have leadership positions. But will they be able to work together on their war-torn countries problems?

On the same day that Ghani took his oath of office, two suicide bombings occurred in different parts of Afghanistan. Eight police officers and

several civilians were killed. The Taliban, Afghanistan`s former rulers are trying to regain control of the country and the U.S. military mission

to the country is winding down. Though thousands of American and NATO troops are still there.

Moving west of Afghanistan, after passing over Iran and Iraq, we come to Syria. The nation`s been at civil war since 2011. And the ISIS terrorist

group has moved in taking over huge chunks of Syria land and killing anyone who gets in their way that includes civilians.

Over the weekend, President Obama said the U.S. government had underestimated what had been happening in Syria, but despite U.S.-led

airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the terrorist group continues to take over more territory.

Near Syria`s northern border with Turkey, a cnn reporter described what that looked like.

PHIL BLACK, cnn CORRESPONDENT: Crowds of Kurds watched from Turkey. They screamed in anger, some went as their fellow Kurds just across the Syrian

border were pounded by ISIS.

They watched this truck-mounted artillery repeatedly fire into a village.

The sound hits seconds later. We see Kurdish fighters running between buildings, desperately taking cover. And down here, they smashed a hole in

a wall to get away.

The noise of small arms and heavy weapons cut through the sky. One mortar around flies way off target.

Just over there where you could see that smoke stack, that was clearly mortar fire coming from across the border in Syria, landing here on Turkish

territory, and you could see, pretty close to where we are standing, pretty close to where all of these people are standing.

The crowd is furious, the people here say the coalition airstrikes against ISIS haven`t worked.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The terrorists are coming and shooting the our people and killing the woman here, killing the child here.

BLACK: This ISIS fighters are advancing from the East to take Kobani, the major city in this region. On Friday, we saw ISIS trying to move in from

the West and they are attacking from the South, too.

Kurds on both sides of the border fear Kobani will fall, unless international airpower stops ISIS quickly.
