. >> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city. i'm michael yves with today's top stories. breaking news. head of secret service resigns. the first person to be diagnosed with ebola in the u.s. was originally turned away from the hospital, potentially exposing others to the virus. and. >> the director of the secret

service has resigned. that information copping in just about 45 minutes ago. and it comes amid several controversial security breaches involving the president, his family and the white house specifically. mike viqueira join us live from the white house. mike, how exactly did julia pierson's resignation come about today? >> we're just learning after an interview that she characterizes her movement as, quote, the noble thing to do. the white house yesterday and as late as this morning was expressing full confidence in julia pi erson as director of the secret service. but recent and accumulating events, that's the phrase of the day, had led the president and director of homeland security jay johnson to believe that it was time to look for a new direction. ms. pierson had undergone a grilling by both republicans and democrats at capitol hill.

she said she was outraged as well. nanny pelosi, chuck schumer, elijah cummings, who led the hearing yesterday, and the hearing where julia was excoriated and raked over the coals. just after president obama thank her for her service. >> she offered her resignation because she pleased it was in the best interest of the agency to which she has dedicated her career. the secretary agreed with that assessment. the president did as well. over the last several days we've seen recent and accumulating reports raising questions about the performance of the agency, and the president concluded that new leadership of that agency was required. >> recent and accumulating

reports. three days apart. october 16th in atlanta when a contractor around the president's visit to the center of decease control to talk about ebola, got on an elevator, an individual with three prior convictions, found to have a gun after he acted erratically. it was just divulged by earnest in the briefing that the white house was told about that yesterday just as the "washington post" came forward with its story outlining the incident. and then three days later minutes after the president and his family had lifted off from the south lawn, over here on my shoulder ooff my shoulder on the north lawn he made it to the east room before being apprehended by an off-duty agent. you look at the totality of everything that has happened here. julia pierson quitting after 18 months as director of the director service. >> that incident itself you have

to wonder the response that president obama had when he heard it through media sources and not the secret service themselves how close this individual came to the president there at the cdc. as far as the man who snuck into the white house. he was in court today. what happened during those proceedings? >> he's been charged with three charges, three counts, essential. he pled not guilty. he has a public defender. the prosecutors at that hearing move to examine gonzalez to see whether or not he's competent to stand trial. that story is just beginning to be written. he has been stopped by the police before. he was found to have lethal weapons with a map with the white house highlighted on the map in previous stops, and then found to have 800 rounds of

ammunition and other weaponry including hatchets. a lot of concern raised from that incident as well. >> i want to ask you about some of the comments made by josh earnest. it's commonplace in washington when people resign even amid controversy that others come out and say very nice things about them even as they're going out the door, and josh earnest was showing a lot of support for julia pierson, and he also said that the president has complete confidence of the secret service to do its job even in the wake of these last two incidents. you would question how the president could be so confident, and then the director steps down today. >> that's a very interesting question and to a certain extent i think people could look at this and understand that the president and the first lady are ham strung. they're not going to be criticizing the secret service. after all these individuals are sworn to take a bullet for the

president and protecting the first family here. there have been lapses that obvious at this point. slip ups, and breakdowns. but i don't think under any circumstances you're going to see the president because i think the president and any president are genuinely grateful for the service that the secret service does provide. we should add that they have named an interim head. an interim head of the secret service. joe clancy, who is familiar in the white house to both president and staff. he was head t of security there. there is going to be an independent board to review that review. then we'll think about whether or not there is going to be a permanent head or whether clancy will continue on in that role. >> reporting live from the white house. >> doctors in texas say the man infected with ebola was

initially september home by the hospital. the liberian national was cleared and given antibiotics by the emergency room staff. days later he was admitted and diagnosed with ebola. highy joheidi zhou castro is outside of the hospital where the man was treated. did they say why the man was allowed to leave the hospital originally? >> reporter: we heard from hospital administrations that the explanation was that they lacked one key piece of information. that the staff here had not been told that this man had traveled from west africa. but today we heard a completely different version of events and the hospital administration admitted it made a summation. >> regretfully that information was not communicated throughout the full team. as a result that full import of that information was not factored in to the clinical decision making. the overall clinical

presentation was not typical at that time yet for ebola. so as the team assessed him they felt clinically it was a low grade common viral disease that was the presentation. >> now hospital administrators claiming that he did tell hospital administration that he did come from liberia. the cdc has a team of ten staff members on the ground looking into that and many other questions. >> it's worth reminding our viewers that ebola is only transferred through bodily fluids, but health workers are tracking down anyone who came into contact with this patient. how is that process going? >> well, today there was a concerning involvement. the governor announced that five children in dallas may have come into contact with this ebola

patient. they say these children were at this person's home over the weekend, and in fact, returned to their public schools at four various campuses around town before the school district was made aware of the ebola possible contact this morning. so obviously parents at these campuses are very worried about their children, but the district said it is taking measures. those five children are under the monitor of the cdc now and any possible children, teachers, staff members who they may have come in contact with are being closely watched. there are the paramedics. the three individuals who transported this man back to the hospital three days after he was turned away for the first time. those three are under a quarantine in their own homes. they will be there for the next 21 days. so far neither they nor any children nor anyone we're aware of has shown any symptoms of ebola. finally, michael, it's not just the people that this patient came in contact with, but the thing that he may have touched,

including the ambulance that brought him here. the ambulance was quarantined yesterday. but we learned between the time that it transferred this patient and the time it was taken out of service, it did respond to many calls. >> we're in the process of contaminating it again, and we don't believe there is anything alive virus in there. the virus, we've been told, has 24-hour life once it hits air and ambient light, which is we're outside of the 24 hours, out of abundance of caution we'll clean the thing and decontaminate it according to national standards and it will be released back into service. we're completely comfortable with that process. >> reporter: they believe that the virus is under strict containment measures, but whether or not the possible contact could have been avoided by admitting this man in the first place is the big question

left unanswered. >> reporting from dallas. 3,000 american troops are being deployed to assist doctors in west africa. there have been 6500 reported cases this far with more than 3,000 deaths. out of the four hardest hit nations liberia has the most cases and d.t. of 3400 combined. the bulk of support is being sent there. some u.s. troops have aride to set up hospitals. but the ability to create infrastructure to treat thousands of patients is proving difficult. liberia is struggling and does not have enough ambulances and health workers. >> reporter: gordon starts his day with a stop at the high be the liberian health ministry.

he transports patients to the hospital. but before doing so he needs his personal equipment. >> i don't have the first ppe to pick up the first patient. >> he's supposed to receive new gear from the government every two weeks. but supplies are depleted. liberia has been hardest hit by the ebola outbreak. it's healthcare system is straining to cope with the number of patients. >> there are not enough care facilities in place. unicef is now working with the governments of liberia and sierra leone to set up interim care facilities, and for sierra leone to aim to work with survivors of ebola who may be able to treat and care for children who are at risk of being infected. >> in neighboring sierra leone schools have remained shut since the new academic year to prevent the spread of the disease. the education ministry is now

planning to broadcast lessons over the radio. >> we do with what we have at our disposal, and it would strain our education system. >> the "world health organization" estimates ebola has infected 6500 people across west africa. more than half have survived but the hurdles facing emergency workers make the fight ever more difficult. al jazeera. >> and more breaking news at this hour. michael dunne has just been found guilty of first-degree murder in a retrial for the shooting death of jordan davis. his first trial fund him guilty of three counts of attempted murder and firing into an occupied car. but a mistrial was declared when the jury was deadlock. he shot into a car and killed 17-year-old davis after the two

had an argument over loud music outside of a convenient store. >> for two days now protests have been peaceful however fears are that the increased threat from the protesters could lead to an increased response from police. [music] >> in mainland china people are marking 65 years since the founding of the communist people's republic of china. but the celebrations overshadowed by the ongoing unrest in hong kong. rob mcbride is in hong kong for us. and the central movement is in its fourth day of mass protest. how did the holiday affect wednesday's demonstrations?

>> certainly many thousands of people have been using this two days of holiday to come down to places like this one, the central government district to protest what they call true democracy here in hong kong. this is two days of holiday here. we're in the nighttime hours, the numbers have dwindled significantly during the nighttime, but expected on the second day of this public holiday to pick up again. but of course this public holiday celebrating the--marking the founding of the people's republic of china. there have been a number of official events here in hong kong. the raising of the flag, and

talking in speeches, talking about the political reforms, which are coming up for the fourth coming elections here. the government of hong kong claims will give them more people, will increase democracy in hong kong, and no question and no mention about his resignation. certainly there is no prospect of him producing his resignation any time soon. >> we saw violent response from the police to the protesters, but it has been peaceful over the last couple of days. i assume that's the case today. have you heard strategy by police for handling demands if they do intend to overtake government buildings on thursday. >> there seems to be a wait and see policy. the police presence has reall really--has really dwindled in the past couple of days. you very rarely see the police

at all. they're very much in the background. but you're right, there is now this possibility of a new strategy. the demonstrators here i think out of frustration may be saking their the campaign to a new face of occupying specific government offices. now this would take the level of law breaking to a different step. it is one thing sitting in the streets facing a charge of obstruction. it is certainly another to force your way into a government office and try to stay there as long as you can. and so the question remains what the authorities response will be to that. and the fear is, of course, that we're going to see a return to the clashes with riot police under security guards if that does happen. if you go around these sites, these occupation sites there are thousands of people who will come out here. many families coming out in support of mainly the young students who are taking this action because of the violence

they've seen taken against them by the police. now there is some question about whether that support would go away if the organizers of this demonstration instigated something that saw a return to that violence. >> rob mcbride reporting for us in hong kong. inside the white house today a day focused on diplomacy in the middle east. prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with president obama for the first time since the gaza started. >> they don't have the warmest relationships, and the u.s. was unusual critical of israel during last summer's conflict with gaza. but today in the oval office there were some smiles and a han handshake. president obama reiterated what he called an iron clad commitment by the u.s. to israel

security. but the president also said there needs to be a more seanible peace in the middle east. >> i think we also recognize that we have to find ways to change the status quo so that both israeli citizens are safe in their own homes, and school children in their schools from possibility of-- >> there is a large disagreement on another front. the u.s.-led negotiations with tehran over iran's new england program. >> as you know, mr. president, iran seeks to lift the tough sanctions you worked so hard in place, and leave it as a

threshold nuclear power. i firmly hope that under your leadership that would not happen. >> reporter: this is the first face-to-face meeting between obama and ne netanyahu since last spring and since the israeli-gaza conflict last summer. >> lisa stark reportin reporting from washington. the u.s. military conducted three airstrikes on isil targets in kobane, syria, overnight. the siege is bringing fighting closer to turkey's southern border, and this may push turkey off the fence. >> turkey's military is just a few hundred meters away from isil fighters. in some places all that separates them is barbed wire marking the border. but so far the turks have just

washed as the islamic state of iraq and levant advance across syria. turkey has been accused by its nato fighters of looking the other way, but it's president said that he was committed to attacking terrorism. >> their presence is unacceptable. turkey is not a country that will allow itself to be used for temporary transition. >> turkey's government knows that isil is a threat. it's hesitation about joining the u.s.-led campaign againsted armed group was partly because 46 turks were being held hostage in iraq. now they are free, but turkey is still worried about the risk of retaliation of isis sleeper cells that might nobody turkey,

and it's worried about arming the kurds in its country. then there is the risk that taking part in a campaign to push back isis in syria may inadvertently help president bashar al-assad. >> erdogan told his audience that turkey is not just in the fight against isil. >> one of turkey's priorities is to have a strong and just government in damascus. we cannot be indecisive about the situation in the gulf and the larger middle east. how can we remain uninterested given the crisis on two front borders. we will not sit idle. >> they'll likely improv approve foreign forces to use its bases. that means the possibility of us u.s. jets taking off for

syria and iraq from its bases. >> a debate playing out in a mall in california which side of the aisles you work determines how much you're paid.

>> on wall street today stocks kicked off the fourth quarter on a sour note. the dow jones plunged 238 points. s&p 500 dropped 26% and nasdaq dropped 1.5%. there could be new life for the rebel. thafter it sold for pennies on the there are. the $2.4 billion casino closed its doors last month after two years in business. brookfield holdings won an auction in bankruptcy court promising to hope at some point. revel is one of four casinos to go out of business this year. >> bosnian former leader karadic

is accused of war crimes against humanity. one of those charges includes the 1995 massacre in which 8,000 muslim men and boys were killed. we have more from the hague. >> after five years hundreds of witnesses and ten thousand legal exhibits karadic had the floor to himself. he said that the prosecution had no evidence of his own criminal responsibility. he accused it of lying, manipulation and at times it got personal. >> since the prosecution has no evidence it has chosen to tarnish my personty. he called me.

>> it left 100,000 dead and 2 million displaced. they want karadzic behind bars for life. he said that it's a western plot targeting the serbian people. bad things happen in war but he was not responsible. the relatives of those who died just want justice. >> we expect to see an adjustment. that means karadzic should be sentenced for a life sentence at least. that's the most important. >> the central blank of the most serious charge of genocide is that karadzic planned the

removal of muslims so that the serves could enjoy ethnically clean space. but in court he said he worked tirelyless for peace and in his own words was a true friend to muslims. >> he accepts the executive responsibility, but as far as individual criminal responsibility when there is a person at the stop trying to stop these kinds of things, they're not criminally responsible. >> karadzic's against will continue on thursday where he'll be sentenced for the mass certificate in srebrenica where men and boys were executed. >> people are being monitored after a man who has been diagnosed with ebola.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm michael thieves new york. texas health officials say that the man diagnosed with ebola was initially sent home by hospital staff. he was sent home with antibiotics. now anyone who may have had contact with him is now under quarantine. >> i have full confidence in the medical officials, our local, state and federal partners in keeping this contained. this is a disease that is not airborne, and is substantially more difficult to contract as a common code. >> now a deep dive on how exactly ebola spreads. a large number of health workers contract the virus because they are the ones dealing directly with sick patients. if someone does not have symptoms they are not contagio

contagious. ebola has the incubation periods of two to 21 days and someone may not feel symptoms until weeks after contact with someone with the virus, vomit, bloods or sweat must enter through eyes, nose or mouth. hand soap works at devo destroying the virus. we go to dr. bell in atlanta. we appreciate your time this afternoon. we're hearing reports of another patient. are there others that the cdc is also worried about? >> no, actually, we're only aware of one single patient. certainly there is always the possibility of transmission from

this one patient, for example, to some of his household contacts, and we're certainly monitoring those household contracts as well as other contacts very closely. but there is only one case of ebola diagnosed in the united states. >> we learned that some school children may have come in contact with the patient. what is the status of those kids? >> well, you know cdc has ten people on the ground in dallas. our team includes senior epidemiologists, and several other support staff. one of our major activities is what we call contact tracing. this involves identifying all the contacts of this ill patient and assess what kind of contact they had. assessing what the risks might be associated with that kind of contact and checking in and

following up with them every day on a very regular basis to make sure they don't develop symptoms. >> they assured people anyone who came in contact with the patient is being monitored but not all of them are being quarantined. some health workers from the ambulance have been quarantined but the kids we mentioned are being monitored and not quarantined. why is there a difference with all those who came in contact with this patient. >> i'm not sure about the reports of quarantine. our recommendation at this stage is for monitoring. we speak to each of the potential co contacts. we have very specific instructions about among forking. we follow up with them every day. but in most circumstances when a person does not have any symptoms we don't have recommendations that actually call for quarantine. >> you mentioned the fact that

this virus can only be spread through bodily fluids, blood, sweat, some hit, what about drinking. some of these kids were at these patient's home and happened to share a drink, is tha that a way this could contract the virus? >> these are specific questions that we ask all of the contacts, and it very much depends on the actual specific conditions. it's very hard to make general indications. the important things to remember as the governor said is that it's not easy to catch ebola. there has to be direct contact with infected body fluids. that has to go through an open cut or some opening in the skin. no, sir something that flies through the air. not something that is transmitted by casual contact. >> you mentioned it's very difficult. obviously we saw the fact that

he was sent home from the hospital with antibiotic because they iowa assumed he had nothing but a common cold. is that what leads to the issue of this outbreak. able to spread so quickly because it's so hard to detect or determine it's ebola as opposed to some other virus. >> well actually it's not hard to diagnose ebola as long as you think about it. in africa the situation is very different. the situation in healthcare facilities in africa is worlds away from what we experience here in the united states. the problem in west africa with the tragic situation with so many healthcare workers getting infected is that they don't have the tools in order to correctly identify and then to protect themselves. most of those infections have occurred when a person has come into a hospital. they have a fever. it's assumed to be malaria. health workers don't have basic tools like gloves, the ability to wash their hands, so they

have a lot of close contact unprotected with patients, and they haven't thought about ebola, so they have not isolated the patients. they're not protecting themselves. in the united states we have many, many more tools. as long as a person thinks about ebola it's not hard to detect it. here in the united states there are a number of laboratories called our laboratory response network that have the capability to test for and diagnose ebola. also here at the cdc, and that's what happened in this circumstance. the test for ebola, once it was collected took about 24 hours for us to have a result that we could act upon. >> again, health owe yankee,

thank you for joining us. >> sure. >> david shuster joins us for specifics. >> these ads are brutal. they're tough and they're driving vote tours focus on very clear and specific issues. starting in louisiana where senator mary landraeu is trying to secure her seat. >> our schools continue to fail children. our jails are filled with young black men who should be at hope being fathers. meanwhile, mary landrieu lives in a $2 million mansion on capitol hill. >> those attacks appear to be helping cassidy, who has a

slight lead over landrieu. now the issue over birth control. >> corcory gardner could ban abortion including in cases of rape. >> environmental group is connecting gardner's connections to the koch brothers. >> the truth, they're spending billions to put him in senate to line their pockets. >> he is in tight race with mark udall. >> isil plotting imminent attacks but what did mark udall say? >> i said last week that isil does not present an imminent threat to this nation, and does not. >> really? can we take that chance?

>> yes, that audio was meant to sound like an airplane and evoke memories of 9/11. staying in colorado there is controversy over a gardner ad that mentioned udall's family. >> 18 years in politics, and he has two cousins in politics, too. my dad, he sells tractors. >> udall's dad did run in 1976, and he said that the ad was over the line. >> i have no intention of running ads or criticizing or insulting his family. i see this as an insult directed at my family. this race is between congressman and me. not between our fathers. one more story on the battle for control of the u.s. senate today and kentucky, michael, your favorite state.

allison grimes is trying to take out senator m mitch mcconnell, and grimes has been hammering mcconnell's attention records. >> where was he? he did not show up to for voting on days that he had time for fundraising and two tv shows. >> now they look at grimes and how many days she missed as secretary of state. >> i'll stack my record up mitch mcconnell any day. we're not hear to talk about attendance. >> secretary of state. >> we're excited to be here today to launch our military. thank you for being here. >> generally if you're going to attack someone on one issue you can't get defensive if you're asked about that same issue. finally in new york, rob

astorino is way behind governor cuomo. so he has placed one of the most famous attack ads in history. >> ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. >> these are the stakes. do we reelect a governor who may end up in jail? >> now, for an attack ad to work it usually has to be believable. i'm not sure you can find anyone who believes the cuomo indictment if it happens would be as big and frightening as an nuclear explosion. >> we remember when the ads were just about the candidates. now it seems that all of them are about this guy, this woman, she does that.

>> over the top. >> it's all about the entertainment factor as well. thank you so much. let's go to other news around america. maria ines ferre is those stories. >> reporter: a rhode island girl died from virus 668 an unusual illness making children sick all over the country. the 10-year-old girl died from a rare combination of the virus and a staph infection. it's not clear how the child got sick. >> there was a d.t. of a ten-year-old child from cumberland, a tragic death. the cultures also showed the virus d 68, and it is not clear what role the anti-virus had. clearly the death was a sepsis death. this is an overwhelming tragic

>> santa clara. >> i don't think people know about the difference and they find out last minute, actually. >> shoppers certainly won't notice the dinners, but for workers different cities mean different rules. >> i'm a standing on the border. one foot in each city. you work in sa san jose your minimum wage is $10.50. if you're working in santa clara your minimum wage is $.9. >> stores faced staff shortages until they faced it up. >> we're in santa clara where we pay $9, but we want to be competitive with what is going on in the mall and fast paced environment, so we pay more for our employers. >> some stores wit like this pretzel chain with stores on

both ends of the mall had employees. >> the store has had more pressure to turn the same profit for its owners. >> when you bring the raise up, your profits go down. your labor expenses go up and your bottom line changes. you have to sell more and you see the profits drop because of the changes. >> the gap had another can conundrum, the store straddles both cities. it offered the path of least resistence. >> we started off the store at the higher wage. it allows us to continue to retain our great talent. >> so does raising wages force prices up and reduce command. at valley fair mall we learned that it depends. on the stores, on the marges
