CARL AZUZ, cnn ANCHOR: From the Middle East to North America to Africa, we are moving fast to the start of this Tuesday show.

U.S. airstrikes in the town of Kobani. It`s in Northern Syria near the border with Turkey, and it`s become a problem for the ISIS terrorist group.

Unlike some other towns in the region that fell to ISIS, the Kurds and ethnic groups have fought to regain control of much of Kobani.

About 70 percent of the city. U.S.-led airstrikes have helped along with an American airdrop of weapons, ammo and medical equipment. That happened

Sunday night. The Obama administration says it looks like the supplies fell into the right hands.

Kobani isn`t the only city under attack from ISIS terrorists. Yesterday, they launched 15 attacks on Kurdish forces in northern Iraq. The U.S.

military says 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 country judge cleared more than 40

people who`d had contract with Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan. The judge said none of these people showed symptoms of Ebola for 21 days. What

doctors considered the maximum incubation period for the virus. So, their quarantine is over.

Two nurses who apparently caught Ebola from Duncan are still hospitalized, and though Nigeria and Senegal say they are officially Ebola-free, the

disease is still spreading rapidly in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Just mentioned Nigeria. It was the news for a very different reason back in April. That was when the Boko Haram terrorist group kidnapped hundreds

of girls from a boarding school in northeast, Nigeria. The country`s government says it`s reached a deal with Boko Haram to set the girls free.

But that hasn`t happened yet, and the terrorist groups continues its attacks on civilians.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: "Bring Back Our girls," the world has cried.

MALALA YOUSUFZAI, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER: So, girls in Nigeria are my sisters. And it`s my responsibility that I speak for my sisters.

MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY, UNITED STATES: Grown man attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.

ANGELINA JOLIE, ACTRESS: It`s infuriating. And it`s - and it kind of goes beyond understanding that somebody could do this.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s been six months, since almost 300 girls were taken from their school in the dead of night, at the hands of Boko Haram,

the Islamist terror group.

The overwhelming majority of them remain unaccounted for.

More than 5 million people have tweeted, "Bring back our girls." The social media campaign went viral in May, a month after the girls vanished,

and it hasn`t stopped. And now, the news Friday.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There has been a huge breakthrough in the kidnapping ordeal that launched that global campaign, bring back our girls.

The deal was expected to include the release of the more than 200 kidnapped school girls.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The government announced a ceasefire, what they say as a step towards bringing the girls home.

MIKE OMERI, NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON: The terrorists have assured that the girls are alive and well. And their prescriptions will continue

in this direction subsequently. It`s all efforts that was the release of the government.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Skepticism is felt by many.

OBIAGELI EZEKWESILI, FMR. MINISTER OF EDUCATION, NIGERIA: We want to be able to see any evidence of this deal. It would help a lot. I`m sure that

majority of Nigerians are I think in - the same trend.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, Boko Haram hasn`t yet responded to Nigeria`s claim. The news has brought cautious optimism. But online campaigners say

they won`t stop until the girls are back.

More than 180 days since their abduction, hope and more waiting.
