ISIS street fight set for border city

TURKISH-SYRIAN BORDER (CNN) -- The family of British ISIS hostage John Cantlie, a journalist captured nearly two years ago, felt "great relief" when he appeared in a video message showing he was still alive recently, along with a "feeling of despair and helplessness," Cantlie's father said Friday. "I want John to know how very proud I am of him," Paul Cantlie said in a video message delivered from a hospital bed. "I can think of no greater joy than seeing my dear son released and allowed to return home to those that love him."
