>> consider this: the news of the day plus so much more. >> we begin with the growing controversy. >> answers to the questions no one else will ask. >> real perspective, consider this on al jazeera america >> quarantine, four people now forced to stay inside this dallas apartment building, health officials reaching out to 100 people who may have had contact with an bowl he la patient. now another patient with the virus. >> hong kong's protest, supporters of chinese rule storm tents and tear down banners. >> another nation joining the

coalition in the fight against isil, australia ready to strike the militants within days. >> marriage's largest bank j.p. morgan hit by cyber criminals. >> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm del walters. >> i'm stephanie sy. >> another american has been diagnosed with ebola in africa, an nbc news cameraman in liberia. >> he has written several articles, including for aljazeera america focusing on the ebola crisis. >> several people who came in direct contact with an ebola patient in dallas have been quarantine, including the people he was staying with who are locked inside their apartment by order of the texas health democratic. we are in dallas this morning. you were at the apartment complex last night where people are quarantined. what are residents saying? >> stephanie, we found this complex in the middle of a

three-mile district in dallas where there are 24 nations represented. this happens to be an area where many immigrant refugees are resettled. there were contrasting pictures. i saw parents playing with children outdoors. i saw older people seated on the parking lot ground. i also met people who were very concerned finding out ebola could be next door to them and wish to be testified immediately. >> four members of a family next to thomas duncan are quarantined. he stayed there before he was hospitalized with ebola. >> we had some hygiene issues that we are addressing in that apartment. this is a fluid situation. we have a contractor, there are protocols that have to be followed to clean. >> the c.d.c. is bringing them food, supplies and taking their temperature twice a day. police are making sure no one

goes in or out. residents were notified three days after duncan was hospitalized. >> i got to stay safe. i got to be careful who i'm talking to and just go about my day. >> the c.d.c. is tracking down 100 people who may have had contact with duncan. everyone from the hospital staff to the paramedics who transported him to his family and friends and even eight school children. as parents dropped off their children at this elementary school thursday, their fears were every debit. >> this really scares me that it could be spread inside of his school. just look at him running to school, that's my heart. >> parents got letters saying students at this school came in contact with duncan. >> go to work, i have students, and i have to make a decision. they have to go to school. >> the c.d.c. is investigating why duncan wasn't admitted when he first came to the emergency room thursday, allowing him to

walk around for two days contagious, even though he said he had been in liberia. his nephew was so worried, he called the c.d.c. >> they sent him home with those signs and symptoms and i was afraid he might not survive. >> duncan's mother is operating for his recovery. >> i'm operating for you to get well, for me to see you. >> the washington post spoke with a woman who is a relative of duncan. she told the paper that she had taken care of duncan over the weekend as he was sick and she was the one who called 911 on sunday and followed the ambulance to the emergency room. what's most concerning from the revelations in this washington post article is this woman sat in the emergency room for hours waiting for a status update.

not only was she sitting there with nothing between her and the other patients in the room but brought a blanket that had been used to cover duncan and that sat on a waiting room chair for hours. >> that woman you're referring to has been quarantined, as well as those four others that were staying with duncan. how long will these quarantine's last? >> we're told that this will be until at least october 19. that's the 21 period that incubation can take place. ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear. at this moment, no one else affected has been said to have any symptoms. >> are we expect morning quarantines? >> that could very well be the case, as the investigators here and from the c.d.c. and state make these even greater

concentric circles. yesterday, the number of people affected jumped very quickly from 18 to 80 to now the number is 100. we're told that's typical of this type of investigation and we should expect that number to grow. >> thank you. >> let's go to lisa stark now in washington. we know the c.d.c. is investigating that hospital that mistakenly let duncan go home. what other steps are they taking? >> well dell, because in august, the c.d.c. warned hospital about ebola patients, talking about infection control guidelines. we saw a number of hospitals say they might have ebola patients that were false alarm, so hospitals were isolating patients. somehow this system did break down in texas. there is an investigation underway and now the c.d.c. has sent out a second nationwide alert to hospitals, telling them how to screen patients, even including a poster and

guidelines saying here's what you need to do, here's how you screen and this is what you do when you suspect an ebola case, so another alert to hospitals nationwide. >> the military now active in liberia, what are they doing there? >> the military, u.s. military is sending 3,000 troops to liberia to set up hospitals, 1700 beds in testing centers. in fact, the first testing center is now open in liberia, ebola testing center. meantime, the president that have country has apologized to the u.s. for the fact that a liberia -- someone traveling from liberia has brought the first ebola case here. >> with the u.s. doing so much to help us fight ebola and again, one of our compatriots has gone there and in a way put some americans in a state of fear, and put them at some risk. i feel very saddened by that,

very angry with him, to tell you the truth. >> liberia is the hardest hit country, about 2000 of the 3,000 deaths so far from ebola have been in liberia. they obviously are very much welcoming the u.s. military aid that will be pouring in over the next month. >> what about restricts flights from west africa to the u.s.? is that being looked at now? >> it seems like the easiest solution, seal the borders, but you can't really seal the borders on something like this. everyone says that is just not the way to go. these passengers are being screened before they get on the plane for fever. if they have signs of fever, they're not allowed onboard, as we have pointed out, you cannot transmit ebola if you are not showing symptoms, so for example, the gentleman now sick in the u.s., the c.d.c. saying there is 0% that anyone on his

plane is sick. most health officials will tell you that is not a strategy for controlling this virus. >> leeza, thank you very much. >> we're going to be talking about the latest developments with a doctor, including whether quarantines those people like you see in dallas is the best way to keep the virus from spreading. >> an 11-year-old boy is the latest enterovirus patient to develop polio like symptoms. he is being treated in dallas. he developed process in his right arm. similar cases have been reported in colorado and california. officials have not confirmed any link between a symptom and the virus. >> there are new clashes taking place on the streets of hong kong. protestors are considering the latest offer from the city's leader, who is refusing to resign. he is going to hold talks over demands that he open up elections. andrew work is on the streets of hong kong now, the editor in chief of the hong kong nobody

"the harbor times." he joins us by phone. what you are seeing? >> i'm here on the streets and there is as showdown going on and i don't know how it's going to go. after last night, a lot of the students went home, they thought ok, we can take a little break. today, small groups were holding different occupy positions and different groups of people started tearing down fences. it got ugly real fast. >> are you concerned that there might be outside acknowledge stators there trying to make what had been for a while a peaceful protest turn ugly? >> that is the concern and it's being hotly debated through the hong kong social media.

people are concerned. the crowd's got to be at least 4,000 or 5,000. >> are you safe and when we talked to you yesterday, you said gas masks and protective gear was being handed out i have not preparation with actions by police. are there concerns that police are going to move in? >> no, this is a very different situation. yesterday, it was the protestors saying if we don't have a responsible government, we're going to take the chief headquarters. the students facing off against the police, now it's different, the police are protecting the students from the mob-type elements that have seemingly come out of nowhere but seem remarkably organized. >> is there a sense the demonstrators are going to get what they want without any violent pushback by the government. >> the government said they're going to talk.

it seems like stalling tactics with this new element. it's really going tube day of resting up and looking in. instead, it's just gotten ugly here and -- >> in fact, i'm seeing pictures that you sent back. there are tear gas canisters being fired into the crowd. any idea who is firing the gas and where those canisters are coming from? >> there's no tear gas here where i am, sorry, i don't know if the pictures look like that, but there is a huge mob. they are chanting, saying support police, support police. more and more students in black tee shirts have been coming out of the underground rail systems and now the chant has started to protect students, protect students. it could escalate over the next hour or less.

>> on drew on the streets of hong kong, a very fluid situation. >> this morning, the coalition fighting isil is growing, australia signing off on airstrikes in iraq. >> it seems the stage was set a few weeks ago. >> it's parliamentary system, takes time to get the backing. we knew it was going to happen eventually, because australia predeployed six jet fighters to the arabian gulf in late september. today's move by the australian cabinet was anticipated, coming off the iraq issued an official request. the united states asked australia to contribute to the international coalition. prime minister tony abbot acknowledged today what other leaders seem to have been saying, this could be lengthy. >> i have to warn that this

deployment to iraq could be quite lengthy. certainly, months rather than weeks. >> the australian prime minister, well the plan is for six australian jet fighters from the royal australian air force to launch airstrikes against target in iraq within days. the australian deployment will include a ground force of around 200 people. this is not boots on the ground, they will serve in an advisory capacity to iraq's security forces. >> they're keeping an eye on turkey, as well. >> turkey's parliament has signed off on sending troops to fight isil in iraq and syria. isil fighters have been battling for a key city on the border with turkey. we have more on what's happening in kobane. >> friday morning on one of the most intense mornings we've seen fighting coming from kobane, an exchange of mortar fire and gunfire and heavy weaponry, too. the syrian kurdish fighters

trying to defend kobane have french missiles and have used those this morning to take out an isil tank and fuel stored around it causing an enormous explosion. there have been other explosions in the city. there is we believe a syrian kurdish position toward the top of the hill. that seems to have been one of the targets of isil fighters who have a base to the east of the city, so pressure really building up on kobane at the moment and a very intense, nervous wait for the people here watching the fighting going on, a very intense day of fighting in kobane. >> turkey is opening up an air base to the u.s.-led coalition. >> oklahoma prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the beheading of a coworker saying he poses a threat to society. he walked into a food processing plant and beheaded a coworker.

he attacked another woman, as well. >> a woman linked to the tweet about a grand jury said she was hacked. she said she didn't send the tweet saying there isn't enough evidence to warrant an arrest. she insists she's had no contact with anyone on the grand jury. darren wilson shot michael brown, sparking weeks of protest. >> 83 million account holders at j.p. morgan may have had their information stolen by hackers. >> when this cyber attack happened, the bank thought the number of accounts hacked was much less than that. >> j.p. mar gone thought it affected 1 million customers, but the reality is way more. it took the bank security experts more than a month to discover the breach. here are the real numbers. j.p. morgan saying personal information from 76 million households have been compromised. similar data from 7 million

small businesses has been affected. an f.b.i. investigation is underway to find out how the hackers accessed 90 bank servers. only contact information was stolen, names, addresses, birthdays and email addresses. executives say there is no evidence that any money was taken. they insist actual account numbers, user i've ds, pass words or social security information are still safe, despite that, experts say this could open the door to widespread scams. j.p. morgan is telling their customers they are not responsible for any fraudulent charges. >> they are saying they are not responsible for those charges. thank you very much. >> more trouble for flyers in chicago, mother nature now messing with travel just as the airports were getting back on track from the fire at radar center. we are live in chicago. how are the delays and

cancellations looking this morning? >> it's still early. it is still messy out there. the rain is still falling. right now, the f.a.a. is not reporting delays at o'hare or midway, short delays, basically 15 minutes or so, so not too bad. this comes a day after we saw more than 800 cancellations between o'hare airport and midway in anticipation of some of these storms that were expected on thursday afternoon. it could get messier as we go into the day and this rain continues to fall. >> meanwhile, this afternoon, the f.a.a. chief is expected to visit that damaged facility in aurora. what's the status of the investigation? >> that's right. he'll be joining senator dick durbin and other illinois lawmakers to look at damage at the aurora facility. again, you know, this is a reevaluation, looking at the central question, the fragility of this system and idea that one person causing do this to one facility can cause thousands of

damaged flights and delays that are continuing days or weeks into the future. lawmakers are looking for an investigation into this and ways to strengthen the system and contingency plans that would prevent this happening again. >> on that note, weather aside, how long do officials think it will take before chicago airports are back to normal? >> that's a big question. originally, the anticipation was that after last friday's fire, things would get back to normal by october 13. things were looking pretty good the last few days, up to 85% on wednesday, but then again, with over 800 flights canceled at midway and o'hare yesterday, that could delay some of that recovery, so we could be looking at a couple more days. >> live for us in chicago, usual her, that you can. >> that weather you heard him talk about could be coming to a city near you. >> let's bring in meteorologist nicole mitchell, some dark and stormy skies behind you. >> we talked about that severe weather yesterday, from illinois

where we got it in chicago into portions of texas. in the background is arlington right outside dallas. those are little flashes, transformers blowing as the weather comes in. sometimes trees come down, snap the power lines. we definitely had a lot of problems. here's a broad line, you can see that rain from the great lakes, including where we were just talking about in chicago to the storms, mr. of the stronger storms that went through the south, including a lot of severe weather. let's look at some of that. this caused a lot of damage, most of the pings you saw on the map was wind damage, 200 reports, but took some roofs off, trees down, that as the line went through, this is where we ever the line coming through now. it's still pretty defined, but things tend to settle down by the overnight hours, but heavy rain moving into mississippi and alabama doesn't look like as

strong a system in terms of severe weather through the rest of the day, but still areas of heavy rain movers into the northeast tomorrow, watch for that flash flooding. >> that wind damage was something. thank you very much. >> fears spreading, health officials in texas trying to contain the spread of ebola. >> big mistakes are coming under the microscope. a look at the break down that is proceeded the diagnosis in dallas. >> the dangers of just playing football, a tragic reality for one new york family, a teen dies after a violent collision on the field. >> road rage caught on camera, a driver get out of his car to punch another motorist. the surprising place where this all happened. >> 29 million is our big number of the day. >> why it's been a bad year for general motors.

>> another american has been diagnosed with ebola in africa. freelance cameraman will be transported to the u.s. for treatment. the rest of the team will be flown back and quarantine.

>> also quarantines for the ebola patient in dallas that includes the four people he was staying with. there are 100 people being watched for symptoms. >> an infectious disease specialist joins us now. a lot of questions this morning, and you recently wrote a blog in which you said the american health care system needs to focus on the basics now. how likely is it that other hospitals would have repeated the mistake a texas hospital made? >> we do know the most common medical errors result from things like poor communication. critical information not being relayed from say the nurse to the physicians or perhaps the physicians just discounting, dismissing what the nurse was telling them. >> are we being given the best answers about the spread of ebola, definitive answers or are they best guesses based on past

outbreaks, for instance do we know how long the virus lives outside of the host? >> we don't know precisely, but we do know it dice quickly when exposed to sunlight, when dry outside of body fluids. >> but it does live for a short period of time. >> for a short period of time. >> if you touch the sheets or an object that was touched by somebody infected with ebola, could you catch it? >> if it was soiled with body fluids and soon after the fluids were exposed to the sheets or bedding, then perhaps, but it would still require you then touching either amy cussal surface or eyes or mouth or open sore. >> we heard it was direct fluid to fluid contact. that seems more like if i touch a subway pole with ebola and touched my eye, i could get it. >> if they just touched it. it has to be in the body fluid.

if somebody vomited all over the pole and immediately you touched that and then your eye, ok, then yes. >> can you understand the concerns people have? dr. brantley was brought over in a special plain and people with moon suits walked him into the hospital. now we have people in an apartment complex in dallas that are basically the room is guarded by police outside, nothing outside the door. there's a man walking in bringing in the groceries, where's the myths, the disconnect between hospitals, between states dealing with this crisis. >> remember, ebola is not airborne and requires direct contact with another person, so people sitting in an apartment with the door closed, those police officers on the other side of the door are perfectly safe. somebody transporting groceries, as long as they're not touching the patients in the apartment of perfectly safe. >> doctor, thank you so much. we know you're going to stick around. coming up, we'll speak with a

religious leader from liberia about what like that was like on the ground there. >> 16 people still missing in japan on the mountain. a looming typhoon may make recovery conditions worse. a week ago, people were trapped on the mountain, 47 bodies have been retrieved so far. >> let's bring in meteorologist nicole mitchell. >> this typhoon in the search area, how big a problem is that going to be? >> the good news with the typhoon, as it gets near the mainland loses intensity getting into colder water, skirting the coastline, not making a direct landfall. you will see outer periphery winds, maybe rain with this, the higher surf, but much better news than if it were a make that landfall with that getting back to the united states, one big thing behind the front is not just the storm, exceptionally cold air, freeze warnings. if you still have any crops out

or anything else of that nature, that's pretty much done. i'll show you those temperatures. they're chilly. that's coming up later. >> more than 3600 cases of ebola have been reported in lie bear i can't, more than half the people died. we'll talk to a missionary in liberia about what's being done to contain the virus. >> new clashes in hong kong, the country's leader promises talks but protestors want him out. we are live with the latest. >> hundreds of pro testers going toe-to-toe with riot police in naples, italy. >> a musical production about charles manson, the latest stage production raising eyebrows is one of the stories caught in our global net.

>> you are looking live at the protest in hong kong, where things turned tense this evening. we saw scuffles between protestors and security. we will have a live report from the ground in just a few minutes. good morning, welcome to al jazeera america. ahead in this half hour, an emotional tribute to a high school student who died playing football. he is the third nationwide to die just this week. also, using college students as police drug informants. one major university is reevaluating its program. >> federal courts taking up voting rights in two states. could the next election be decided by judges. >> first a look at top stories we are following this morning. australia's air force joining the coalition fight against isil, approving airstrikes in iraq. they are expected to begin within days, turkey going after

isil fighters in iraq and syria. >> a major security breach at j.p. morgan choice, 83 million accounts were hacked, the largest on line hacking in history. customers are urged to keep a close eye on their accounts. >> this morning, four people under quarantine inside that dallas apartment building had direct contact with this man, thomas eric duncan within the ebola patient. a cbs news cameraman will be brought back to the united states for treatment after contracting ebola in liberia. >> one experimental drug to be gotten into it is hands of the doctors who need it. >> the first patient diagnosed with ebola in the united states is being treated in dallas. there is one experimental drug not available, z. map. it was given to two u.s. miries

who survived ebola. >> most of you know that i took an experimental drug called z. map. >> today is a miraculous day. >> there's no more of the experimental drug. z. map's developers said by august 12, the available supply of zmapp has been exhausted. the federal government is stepping in to ramp up production and getting help from two big charitable foundations. it's a mixture of antibodies produced in tobacco plants. an official tells real money, h.h.s. is exploring a variety of options to expand production, including working with other producers of tobacco-based pharmaceuticals. >> it's not that we can just start an assembly line and start mass producing these products. by the beginning of 2015, even with very concerted efforts, only treatments for hundreds or

perhaps a few thousand patients are going to become available. >> there's a question of whether it even works. the company that makes zmapp doesn't know. it's only been tested in monkeys, clinical trials can take years, but time is not something doctors have, so agencies are pushing forward. there's an urgent need for drugs to treat ebola, since there's no vaccine to prevent the virus, first diagnosed in 1976. one economist said for drug companies, it comes down to the bottom line. cost to research and develop vaccines are high and company's limited investment in povertiable drugs, such as cancer drugs. >> i think there is a lot of evidence. essentially, the pharmaceutical industry does to an important extent follow the money, that is that they are much more likely to develop treatments for diseases that people in the united states and other high

income countries have, than they are to develop a so-called drugs for neglected diseases. >> mary snow, aljazeera. >> a baptist doctor and missionary works with the patients in liberia. he's my friend, we have worked together on a number of projects. he joins us from liberia, dr. burnell, you described conditions as horrible. describe daily life in liberia. >> good morning. thanks to you again and aljazeera america for all of your support and prayers for the people of liberia and the region, including guinea, sierra leone, nigeria and senegal. basically, it is a desperate situation here. it's dangerous, deadly and the disease is just ravaging so many

lives. it touches every family, every home, every sector of our society. one of our prominent citizen lost his daughter, because she could not get her test in time and died from asthma. >> people infected and dying on the streets are not rare, they are commonplace. >> sorry, yankees you clear on that. >> the bodies we see with people infected on the streets and dying where people won't touch them, are those images common? >> yeah, basically when people die, people don't want to touch them. maybe half of those cases could be just from common diseases, like diarrhea or malaria. we need anti malaria medication and energy drinks. people need basic i.v. and just

the basics of life, water, sanitation, hygiene for people here. half a mile from where we live and have our home is the major center for the frontier and they have a 600 patient bed hospital with the largest ebola management center. ster struggling to have safe drinking water, clothing, tee shirts and shorts and basically patients have to be given medication twice a day. we are making a special appeal -- >> doctor -- >> trying to prevent the disease from hitting these villages -- >> i want to get you -- >> providing safe drinking water, providing buckets, soap and rice. >> i want to cut you off. i want to get to a very real concern here. there's something i want to ask

you. do you believe that there are liberians who would hop on a plane and come to the u.s. because they have been around people that have been sick, that have suffered from ebola, they want to get here because the medical treatment is better and they know they're going to get sick? >> i believe people want to survive, no matter what society they're in, whether in dallas or atlanta or d.c. or new york. people want to survive. when people are sick, they try to get to the hospital. if every case, every person here is trying to get to the hospital, sad to say when i was a kid in 1973, my mother served as a nurse at j.f.k. hospital for 30 or 40 years and there was a premier hospital. now we do not even have a referral hospital with adequate things. any liberian will definitely try to find a way to get to the

nearest hospital -- >> you were -- >> people trying get to the doctor and in a case of mr. duncan, i want to believe he knew what he was doing. he was ill, he was not thinking, he knew he had a disease and not thinking about other family members. when people get into a deadly and dangerous situation, they forget to think about others. >> you are working with the people there. what are you doing to stay safe? >> ok. i decided to kind of feature our home for 21 years. in the back of me on my right shoulder, which would probably be your left is an ebola bucket. this is a green bucket with a valve, you can see it. basic anyone who comes through here must wash their hands.

you have to watch over your shoulder and back of your head. we do temperature tests. that is not a guarantee. a person could have malaria or common disease. i make sure to cut down the flow at traffic at home. we barely have two or three persons coming into our home. we keep a close monitor, make sure they wash their sands. we have floor rein. the best thing is just clean, safe water, along with clorox. >> stay safe. >> thank you for helping and please extend our best to the american people for coming to help liberians. >> tense moments in hong kong after supporters of chinese rule

stormed tents and tore down banners of pro democracy protestors. the demonstrators are calling on hong kong's chief executive to step down. he has refused to do. we are live in hong kong. for much of the day, the streets were pretty empty and now seems the protests are heath up and there have been several scuffles. what else do we know? >> i have to tell you that where i am right outside the chief executive's office, the protests here have been relatively calm, but yes, there have been scuffles in some districts of hong kong. about an hour away from here, residents and business owners there clashed with the protestors who were occupying the streets there, accusing them of disrupting traffic, disrupting local businesses and disrupting daily life there. it got so bad, the police had to be called in.

actually, i had to help these occupy prosecutor testers leave the area. they were told to leave, come back to the center, which has now become once again the heart of this protest movement. there are also scuffles in another district called causeway bay, also a popular shopping residential area, as well. what happened there, again, local businesses fed up with the fact that their daily life and traffic has been disrupted by the protest clashed with the protestors there, telling them to go home, get away from this district, we don't want you here, as well. it does look like the general public is starting to reign back support for the movement. >> how are protestors feeling about this offer for talks. do they have hope there can be political compromise?

>> >> i have been speaking to a couple protestors here and while they say yes, you know, we will get what we want, we will achieve universal suffering, one sums it up saying well, i just have to be positive and move on with life. that's the general feeling here at the moment, the protestors know that while a dialogue has been agreed, they do know the dialogue still will have to be conducted with representatives of the chinese government, no matter what, they still to have talk to the chinese government. they are hope to go chain the system, but are up against a huge goliath. one interesting thing i need to point out to you is where i am right now, the chief executive offices on my right behind me and right on my left is the building for china's people liberation army. that's there building. a lot of people tend to say that that's like big brother watching over hong kong and they can't

get rid of them. >> reporting live from the streets of hong kong, thank you. >> hugs and tears on a new york football field, students at the high school in long island holding a vigil for a 16-year-old who died wednesday after colliding with another player. he went down, the up, and then collapsed. he was pronounced dead 45 minutes later. >> just a super, super, super, kid, phenomenal. my daughter called me from the school. it was just a tragedy, sad, real sad. >> he was the third high school football player to die nationwide just this week. two deaths coming right after hard hits. >> a controversial plan to change the curriculum is alive in colorado schools. the school board in jefferson county near denver voted to expand it's review committee. students protest the idea they say would promote patriotism and

discourage civil disobedience. >> we have people who sided with us in saying that this is wrong. >> clearly our community is saying let's assure there's no censorship. i agree with that. >> the proposal is not off the table entirely. the curriculum will still be reviewed but students and parents will be part of the decision-making process. >> police in naples, italy clashing with protestors of budget cuts, using water cannons. naples has one of the highest unemployment rates in italy. >> road rage captured on a security camera. a man gets out of his truck, walks up to a car and starts punching the driver in the face. the victim says it happened because he flashed the man the middle finger. the puncher later turned himself in. >> let's look at other stories

caught in our global net. >> next to owners in the protests we've been covering, the south china post said these democracy dogs sporting yellow ribbons as their protest symbol. >> charles manson serving life in prison for the man son murders in california is making headlines in germany, the l.a. times saying the musical that follows man son's career debuted on stage in hamburg. the official title is charles manson, the summer of hate, the musical and sometimes you really don't have to say anything to say just how poor some people think that this is, a bad idea. >> distasteful to say the least in some people's eyes. >> a law firm representing over a dozen female celebrities is suing google, reporting the company could face a fine of up to $100 million for failing to

remove the nude celebrity photos from its search results. they removed tens of thousands of pictures within hours of requests made, alluding to explicit as i say photos of jennifer lawrence and others. twitter accommodated the demands much more quickly. >> once again, everything gets lost in the cloud. >> a controversial college recruiting program now in the spotlight. >> are school drug enforcement programs forcing students to choose between the school and the law? we'll speak about the dangers of these programs. >> a grand-slam home run, rare world series footage captured 90 years ago, the perfect black and white film that is one of today's discoveries. >> a couple of curious cubs caught in a very tight spot. they'll have a grin and bear it until theories viewed from inside that tree.

informant on classmates. >> a student died of a her win overdose. we have more. >> colleges and universities don't advertise their informant programs, so we don't know how many of them employ this tactic. where such programs have become known, they become controversial especially when an informant dice. >> the university of massachusetts amherst is suspending the use of confidential informant's program pending a full review. in an email to the stand body, the chancellor hint that had u mass might abandon the program pending the review's findings. the paper told of a junior identified by his middle name, logan. u mass campus police caught him selling lsd and molly. they promised not to tell his

parents, as is u mat policy, if he would agree to turn in former, which he did. in october of 2012, logan's parents found him dead in his bathroom of a heroin overdoze. critics question the program. the globe said the program began in 2009. according to the university, drug arrests on campus declined by 25 in 1211 and by three in 2012. informant programs have been used elsewhere. in 2012, air force academy informants identified rule breakers, including star football player asher clark, dismissed from school for smoking marijuana. in 2013 at the university of alabama, informants identified 61 marijuana users and most infamously please in tallahassee turned 23-year-old rachel

hoffman into an in former. she agreed to purchase drugs and later was found dead of a gunshot wound. >> when asked if they utilized in formers, four other boston area schools said they did not, boston college, northeastern university and tufts. >> lance block is an attorney for rachel half man's family in that tallahassee case and helped pass the state's rachel law and joins us this morning. how did rachel's law change the way informants are used in florida? >> rachel's law provides minimum standards for all law enforcement agencies across the state to follow, but there is no tracking requirement. we don't know how many confidential informants are used in the state. we don't know how many deaths or

injuries ever occurred to confidential informants, so the standards are really minimum safeguards, but they certainly don't go far enough, and there's a lot more information that the public needs to have in order to determine whether or not using confidential informants is a worthwhile practice. >> we should remind our audience that rachel became an informant after marijuana and ecstasy were found in her apartment, relatively minor offenses. was she strong armed into becoming an informant. >> absolutely. i mean, rachel was told that if she didn't agree to be a confidential informant and do drug deals for the police department that she was facing prison time, so she didn't want her parents to know, just a typical college student, who was put in the very, very difficult and ultimately a situation that cost her her life.

>> i guess with the massachusetts case, it's a little bit different, because we're talking about campus police. i guess the question there is should campus police be tapping students to be informants or does that violate an unspoken code about their function on campus. >> you know, when i heard about this case in massachusetts, i thought to myself, the university of massachusetts is a public institution of higher learning. the university of massachusetts police department is not a law enforcement agency that does anything except to serve campus functions and provide safety on campus, write traffic tickets, check out thefts of ipads or lap tops and to be involved in undercover vice work is just -- i was just shocked to hear that such a program would be going on, and, you know, this boy for

one year was hooked on drugs and it cost him his life. why wasn't his parents informed, why wasn't he sent into treatment. there's just a lot of questions here. it doesn't seem appropriate that the police department university setting should be conducting drug sting operations. >> mr. block, thank you. >> let's get another check of the forecast, for that, we always go to nicole mitchell. good morning, nicole. >> i think we've gone beyond sweater weather to the winter jackets being pulled out in this cases. as that storm system moved through, it's not over, cold air in its wake. we have freeze warnings. we're starting to get to the hard freeze area of the year where the crop season is over. temperature changes, pretty much the whole midwest to the southern plains, we've dropped from yesterday morning, some places significantly. tulsa was within the 70's, this morning 50's, so a 20-degree

drop. the wind gusting in the 20-30-mile per hour range. rapid city feeling like 19 as we start off today. that cold air through the south, temperatures will drop. >> i didn't hear that. nicole, thanks. >> let's get today's big number, 29 million vehicles, that is how many cars and trucks g.m. recalled around the world so far this year. the latest recall was announced thursday. >> the exact number of vehicles is 117,651, all from 2013 and 2014. a defect could cause them to stall. there are no reports of any accidents or injuries connected to the defect. >> a rare sight, two bear cubs stuck inside a tree. are 22 days, they could be heard crying from the tree in wisconsin. in comes the fire department, able to carve out a couple of windows, the cubs then feasting

on watermelon and running into the forest. >> the united negro college fund has been sending underprivileged kids to school for decades. >> one donor is working to take away minority rights.

>> the president of estonia rising tensions with russia... >> one country has decided it no longer needs to follow the rules >> european union under stress >> the framework that was set up is not holding anymore >> and building for the future >> i require tough reforms and political will...

>> every saturday, join us for exclusive... revealing... and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time... talk to al jazeera, only on al jazeera america

>> hamas eric duncan spent time after arriving from liberia in this apartment complex. these people wait to see if they contracted ebola. authorities are working to stop potential transmission of the

virus. there is fear here. beyond this complex in this neighborhood, there is concern for the safety of children. >> we're trying to see what safety precautions they're taking at the school for me to determine whether or not, you know, my child is going to be able to return. >> others are taking no chances, especially at schools attended by children who have come into contact with dub can. attendance at five schools was down 10% thursday. news that the in happen taints of the contaminated apartment were slapped with a legal order to stay home. police are now on hand to enforce the order. a doctor has been visiting the home to take temperatures twice a day. so far, no signs of common ebola symptoms, high fever, abdominal

pain for vomits. >> dr. perkins went out and assessed the family members today and determined that there is no symptoms, that everything is fine based on his assessment today. i want to be very clear on that process. >> three more students believed to have made contact with duncan were pulled out of school, bringing to eight the number of kids pulled from class. duncan, a father and chauffeur from liberia fill ill days after arriving in dallas on a flight from the capitol monrovia. now a race against time to track down everyone who might have been in contact with him after he started showing symptoms of ebola. there are 100 people officials would like to speak to. only a dozen of identified. >> we have reporters following the developments. lisa stark is in washington. let's begin in dallas. heidi, good morning.

any word when officials might lift their quarantine order? >> we know that october 19 is the last day of that order. that's the last day of a 21 day period that the c.d.c. recommends as the watch period for possible ebola infection. now, that is how long the virus may take to incubate. this they are without symptoms, they will be declared free of ebola. the c.d.c. is taking care of food deliveries and just yesterday, the dallas county health democratic was able to contract a waste disposal company, which is key for this, because someone still has to go in there, clean the place up, disin effect daily and remove waste generated by the four inhabitant of the apartment. >> our expert early this morning said that the virus probably isn't still alive on those sheets, anyway. what hams next for those people

inside? >> they have a wait and see. no one is allowed to go in or out without authorization. the dallas county judge ordered law enforcement to be at the complex to keep a watchful why. >> 100 people including school kids have been linked to this patient. are we looking at the order of more quarantines within the next couple of days? >> that is not ruled out. it's typical. it's not a cause of source of panic for the public. in these type of public health investigations, we start with that individual and their immediate family and then their contacts in concentric circles going out. that's why we've seen those numbers change, initially from 12 to 18 to 80. very likely we'll get more

numbers as times progress today. >> but not necessarily more exposures, how long. >> a freelance cameraman is the latest american to be diagnosed with ebola. he was working in liberia for nbc news. he will be transported to the u.s. for treatment and the rest of the team flown back, as well. he has written articles for aljazeera america focusing on the ebola crisis. let's go to lisa stark in washington. when this crisis began, the flights going in and out of west africa were grounded. is the u.s. now looking at restrictions on the flights coming from west africa? >> they are not. health officials will tell that you this is really not a way to contain a virus. it's almost impossible to do it that way. instead, what they are doing is screening passengers in west africa before they get on planes to see if they have symptoms, particularly a fever, which is an early symptom of beal lo. the passenger who has now ended

up in the united states was screened breath on the airplane, according to the liberian president. >> we have some very stringent precautionary measures at the airport. i'm told he went through those. we even have a doctor's station. we have temperature-taking devices at the airport and the hand washing and everything. apparently, he passed all those tests. >> some african nations have canceled flights into the affected countries. we have heard from holt professionals that this is exactly the wrong thing to do, because it's actually making it difficult for aid and medical personnel to get into liberia and these other countries and that is the way to stop the virus, to stop it in west africa. >> we know about the state response. how are federal officials responding to the situation in dallas? >> the c.d.c. i should another

nationwide alert now to hospitals, to say here's what you need to do when you're veining potential ebola patients. this is what you need to look for. these sorts of guidelines were issued back in august, but apparently the system failed in dallas. the c.d.c. again taking another stab at alerting health care officials around the country to be on alert for these potential patients. >> lisa stark in washington, d.c., thank you very much. >> more scuffles in hong kong as protestors consider their next move. the chief executive said he's not going to step down, instead offering a deputy to talk with demonstrators who remain on the streets. we have been covering the protests from hong kong. we are having problems getting a connection. we will take a live shot right now. this is not the live picture. these are earlier scuffles that we saw between police and

protestors. this is another look. i believe this is pockets of areas where there are clashes with police. it is relatively calm, she was outside the chief executive's office. right now on the streets of hong kong, tens of thousands of protestors there. it is 8:00 in the evening. the chief executive refuse to say step down. he has offered a deputy to talk with these protestors, but the protestors we've been speaking to don't have a lot of hope that beijing plans to budge from a political standpoint and give them what we're asking. they are asking for full democracy. the ability to not only elect their chief executive, but to nominate him or her. >> here in the u.s. right now, the f.b.i. investigating one of the largest data breaches in u.s. history. >> 83 million customers at j.p.

morgan chase bank may have had their information hacked. c.e.o. jami diamond expressing concern to shareholders. >> yes, he said he's worried about this type of threat, saying: >> when the attack happened, they thought it affected 1 million customers. the reality is far worse. j.p. mar began said personal information from 76 million households has been compromised, and similar data from 7 million small businesses has also been affected. only contact information was stolen, names, birthdays, and email addresses. executives say there is no evidence that any money was taken and they insist actual account numbers, user ids and pals words or social security numbers of safe.

this could open the door to widespread scams, which is my j.p. morgan is telling customers not to worry, the bank will take care of any fraudulent charges. >> we do want to go back to the streets of hong kong. our correspondent there, we have contact with you now, thanks for staying with us. what can you tell us about the atmosphere where you are? >> where i am, we're right in front of the chief executive's office. the protest has been relatively calm. in fact, there's actually more media, more journalists and police than protestors. they've gone to causeway bay or the center. >> ok. i apologize for that, folks, clearly we're having trouble

with our satellite there. it has started rain there in hong kong. we'll see if we can get her back. >> australia now the latest nation joining the fight against isil in iraq, the cabinet approving it today, already sending fighter jets into the area. turkey approving use for the fight against isil. what is the fight like right now on the ground in iraq? >> we're see ago number of movements in the provinces. the government has taken a string of 30 villages. they are then able to use those villages as a mounting off point for further offenses into the maintain. in anbar province, they are battling. there seems to be the renewed offensive because of these

airstrikes and the fact that the australians are now coming into the coalition will be good news for the iraqi's. they need international effort to be able to fight isil and welcome the australians joining their mission. >> australia joining the air strike operation. what impact will that have and have the airstrikes been effective so far? >> >> well, the airstrikes have definitely been affected. we're seeing a movement from the iraqi army against isil targets. thief weakened them, destroyed base camps. what we're seeing now is isil fighters taking shelter inside cities and towns, and villages across iraq. their movement has been restricted, the airstrikes are taking effect, and the retired general, u.s. general john allen is here. he's the international coordinator for the fight against isil. he's given assurances to the

iraqi government that they will get the help they need. they won't be putting u.s. boots on the ground, but training iraqi forces to take part in the fights we have seen. when you get the airstrikes coming in, you then get the iraqi ground forces coming in to clean the areas. that's the kind of fights and tactics we are seeing. >> it has been deadly, the united nations saying 5,500 people have been killed since june, thousands more wounded. what is being done to take care of the injured? this report that came out just about 24 hours ago was a very -- it was very critical of the iraqi government and critical of the iraqi government wasn't doing enough. it didn't have answers.

the report was unclear who was committing these human rights abuses. it's the toughest language we've seen from the u.n. in the last year against the iraqi government. it has been a very bloody battle over the last year here and particularly against the religious minorities, the i can't yazidis and others. >> it's been an interesting

morning with the technology and our coverage around the world. >> it was a rough day through the southern states. this is damage out of texas. between texas, arkansas and missouri. that is the core of the weather. over 200 severe weather reports, most of those high winds. you still see trees and power lines down this morning, transformers blowing. arkansas almost covered with severe weather as it went through. here's where the line is yesterday. anywhere from chicago all the way through the gulf states, not as much of a chance for severe weather today, but the rain stale problem. as we get tonight into tomorrow, that pushes into the northeast. back to today, could see areas still with heavy rain and now saturated that we have flash flooding, so driving is going to be a little touch and go. >> nicole, thank you very much.

>> parents in dallas on edge, student checked for possible ebola exposure. parents are pulling their children out of class. whether the concerns are legitimate or an overreaction. >> undocumented migrants going to colleges in the u.s., what they're promised in return for an american education. we have the details. >> an a.t.m. theft caught on camera, this was a real family affair. that's a video captured by our citizen journalists.

>> time now for the videos captured by our sentencing word problem tests in syria following twin car bombings that killed dozens there, including children. the residents are calling on government leaders to be responsible for the violence. >> a different type of demonstration in cambodia, a group of 100monks.

>> an a.t.m. heist in england, thieves rip out the machine out of a local university believe by tying a rope connected to their car. police later arrested all three suspects. it was a father and son act, as well. >> another american has been diagnosed with ebola in africa working at a freelance nbc news cameraman. he will brought to the united states for treatment. in dallas, several people are quarantine, including the four people thomas eric duncan was living with. they are locked inside their apartment. >> there has been an up particular in the number of parents keeping kids out of school in dallas. if you were one of those parents, what would you do? >> i would not keep my child from school. the people who are at risk are those who have been inir duncan. the c.d.c. is expanding

investigation of contacts from the direct contacts to indirect contacts. that's why we've seen the numbers go from 12 to 100. not all of those people are at risk. they have not been in direct contact with somebody sick with ebola. the c.d.c. is being extra cautious. >> does it seem from your perspective as in a infectious disease expert that people are getting the true facts about this disease or does it seem there is real confusion. >> i think there is a lot of confusion because people are scared, creating hysteria, irrationality. one concern is the fact that it took two days for the patient to be isolated after presenting for medical care and public health funds have been cut drastically over the last several years. c.d.c.'s budget was cut, state and local health democrats have lost 20% of their jobs.

emergency preparedness funds cut by a third. this really impairs or ability to respond to this kind of problem. >> the hospital got it wrong, said it made a mistake. when does the alarm bell go up in your mind if it happens again, i guess, when should we as the public start to say that the system is part of the problem and not just the crisis with ebola itself? >> i think the system already is part of the problem. the system has been part of the problem in west africa where systems are dysfunctional, allowing the disease to spread. this case here is an example of how the american system despite being high tech can make mistakes. >> we were told over and over again that there could be no spread of ebola in this country because of our public health system. my other question to you is this screening. there have been questions about whether even if you have fever, couldn't you just take a bunch

of ibuprofen and get on a plane? >> they should be asking, because these are lay people, not doctors, they don't know if they've been exposed, asking have you been exposed to somebody with fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, asking those questions would enhance that screening. >> thanks for being with us and thanks for coming back. >> saudi arabia is taking ebola prehe cautions as an estimated 2 million muslims gather for the annual pilgrimage. muhammed, what exact pro cautions are seedy officials taking?

>> they're taking many precautions here avoiding ebola here, but also the other virus, the middle east respiratory syndrome, which has broken out in saudi arabia and killed 300 people so far. authorities say they have sealed all the loopholes which ebola could pass through. they have refused visas for pilgrims coming from the three countries hit by the ebola outbreak, sierra leone, liberia and guinea. they've given visas to nigerian pilgrims, nigeria's outbreak of wheel has not been to the extent of the other three countries. when pilgrims came in, they went through massive screening at the airport and also in medical

facilities across the country. what they are also doing here is telling pilgrims to wash their hands and make sure that there is no contact between them and other pilgrims. >> are you sensing any ebola concerns by the pilgrims? >> there's only one thing in the minds of the pilgrims at this time and that and that is worsh. they are ardently operating here at one of the key bill lars of hajj built around this season. they are used to preparing for such events. this is an annual event and

saudi arabia has had to deal with other epidemics like the swine flu before and this is not any different. according to the pilgrims. >> on to the immigration debate. university of chicago taking new steps to help undocumented migrants get a higher education even if they don't have legal status. >> you went to loyola college, what is the universities doing differently? >> the university says this is an opportunity to tap into a resource they haven't before, undocumented students. there's 1.8 million young immigrants brought to the united states before the age of 16 and many are unaware of their status until they apply for a driver's license for try to get a job or try to get into medical school. >> we have a very thin muscle which covers the neck. >> crowded around a cadaver in

anatomy class is exactly where he always dreamed of being in medical school. >> i realized after talking to counselors, because of my undocumented status, i had less than 1% chance of being admitted. >> without permission to work in the u.s., medical schools were unlikely to invest in students who might not be able to work at licensed doctors. >> we came when i was very young. >> this student came from pack can when she was three years old. her mother encouraged her dream of becoming a doctor. >> i didn't think that i would get accepted because of my status, but there are a lot of obstacles for that, but my family and i remained hopeful and i knew that there would -- some solution would pop up. >> how do you facilitate?

>> the solution came when president obama announced deferred action for childhood arrivals. >> they are americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one, on paper. >> many of these young immigrants could receive permission to live and work in the united states. >> they were accepted to loyola university chicago's stritch school of medicine. >> you realize they bring talents, they bring the ability to serve our communities. there's every reason to want them to be able to utilize their talents for all of our benefits, the benefits of society. >> loyal has helped create a loan program for students available to any medical school in illinois. >> in return, students agree to work four years in an underserved community. it's an arrangement that will

help clinics serve their predominantly low in come immigrant communities. >> there's a big shortage of primary care i physicians and nw people have insurance under the affordable care act but it might be difficult for them to find a primary care doctor and to find somebody that speaks their language or is culturally sensitive or competent is a bigger deal. >> it's a need some are willing to fill if given the chance. >> dell, this year loyola medical school admitted 60 students, seven undocumented with dhaka status. according to the school, all seven students were admitted on academic merit and coming petted on a level playing field. >> what are some of the challenges that schools face when they admit these undocumented immigrants. >> clearly, before this announcement by the president in 2012, one problem the university had was they could educate anybody they wanted. the problem was once they finished that education, they

needed to take up their medical residency at part of their training, and that is a job. they needed legal status that would allow that. the other problem is funding. illinois, their finance committee came up with a way to provide loans to the students to pay for school. that's one of the things other states around the country are dealing with and looking at for the first time. >> health officials are race to go track down people who have come in contact with the dallas area ebola patient. we're talking with one dallas city council member about the efforts to contain the virus and fears over its spread. >> bringing foreign fighters including isil fighters into the war in syria, nick schiffron travels with one man who smuggled them in. >> getting a big financial boost from a new $25 million donation, live in new orleans with why the source of that money has some saying no thanks.

>> the continuing protests in hong kong ever umbre in force, not only for the weather, but pepper spray has been raining down on the crowd on many days. they have dubbed it the umbrella uprising revolution, pick your word, but so far, things have been peaceful. vermont is pushing forward with its law over labeling food with genetically modified decision nations. >> a look at the morning's top stories. australia joined the fight against isil, the cabinet approving airstrikes. turkey also has okayed taking military action, it's parliament approving sending troops to iraq

and syria. >> j.p. morgan chase said 83 million customers had their accounts hacked, the largest on line hacking in history. the company hasn't seen fraud directly connected to the hacking. >> a freelance cameraman in liberia is the latest american to test positive for ebola. he will be flown home for treatment, while in dallas, four relatives of ebola patient thomas eric duncan have been quarantined. they are among area adults and children being monitored. >> a dallas city council member joins us from dallas. miss gates, thank you for being with us. what is the mood like in your community? >> everybody's staying calm. we are getting information out to the neighborhoods, we are communicating with the apartment property owners. the area that the patient was taken from, i represent that

neighborhood. it's three square miles, very dense, 25,000 people. we do have a way to communicate and through the schools, too, we're sending information home through the school district. >> you actually visited yourself the apartments which have been cordoned off. why did you do that and who did you speak to? >> i had heard immediately we have a public improvement district in the area. the executive director called me and said she was informed from a property owner -- actually the property owner was informed by the press that the patient had lived in that apartment. she wasn't aware of that yet. i had left a press conference with the county. the county's takinged lead on this, the city offering support services and cooperating. the property owner was very concerned and they're my

residents. i care about them, i went out to the property to see if i could help in any manner. we got extra security, dallas police to be on property, really to, a lot of the press was start to go climb the walls and kind of badgering her. we needed to make sure that we had a safer environment. i went out to talk to her and get her in touch with the health officials. we waited and i waited there and then the c.d.c. and the county officials came on property. >> some parents have decided to keep their kids at home after it came out five students had contact with the patient. whawhat are you doing to reassue parents and is that an overreaction, keeping your kid home from school? >> at this time, i believe it is. the children that were exposed to the patient are not going to school. the dallas school district is providing their education at

home, being very proactive. they're monitoring children. they have more nurses in the schools. they've done extra cleaning that is really not required, but just to be proactive, and so they're watching the kids. the children that were like we've heard multiple times, you have to have direct contact with a symptomatic patient to be able to get the disease, so really, the children need to be at school and they're not at risk. >> you are not saying that -- you used to be a school nurse yourself. >> i am. >> what is your best advice. >> i'm a registered nurse, serving as a public servant. my last job was a school nurse. i substituted when my kids were in school frequently at their school. really, i know the role of the nurses. they're on top of monitoring the kids. i know there's a heightened

alertness at this point. i'm comfortable, and kids need to be at school, they need the normalcy, to feel everything's ok. dallas is going to be ok. this is just one more way to make them feel comfortable and have routine, normal routine. >> we certainly appreciate your perspective this morning, a dallas city council member joining us, thank you. >> there is breaking news on the employment front with the monthly jobs report. we have the details. good morning. >> we've got a very strong headline number in this report, 248,000 jobs were created in september, and that was stronger than what exists were looking for. the unemployment rate edged down to 5.9% while the labor force participation rate, the number of people who have a job or actively looking for one edged

down slightly, as well, but not as much as the unemployment rate. it looks like the unemployment rate is dropping for the right reasons, which is that more jobs are being created. now, one spot in this report that does give me a little bit of pause is average hourly earnings. this is a very, very strong reflection of slack in the labor market. average hourly earnings in september dropped to $24.53. that gives an average of a 2% pay rise for the year, just keeping pace with inflation. what we really want to see are average hourly earnings ahead of that, so people have more money to spend more and kick up the economy. a strong headline number, but still we want to see stronger -- >> any revised figures, by the way? >> yes, a revision on august up oh to 180,000 -- >> still not what they thought.

>> not what they thought. we were hoping it would have gone over 200,000 to heap keep up the buoyant trend. we've got a very, very strong headline number, but let's keep looking at the wages. >> the coalition against isil in iraq growing larger, australia signing off on airstrikes on target in iraqi. its military that ha fighter jets in the area and could strike soon. turkey approved mill at her action against isil in iraq and syria. the focus has been on the border between turkey and syria where isil has been fighting for control of a key city, kobane. nick schiffron has been along the border, today in a town where foreign fighters are being smuggled into syria. >> the mountain that is separate turkey from syria are an invitation. he's a smuggler who has helped foreign fighters cross into syria.

>> people around the world wanted to help. their hearts went out to the syrian people. >> to get to syria, you have to walk to the edge of the city into this forest. >> this is a turkish city. this barbed wire is the only thing separating the borders. right now, there is nobody to stop me from hopping over and heading up the hill into syria. >> local residents said turkey kept the border porous for people to fight bashar al assad. >> we have brothers from bang will deash, iraq, cambodia, australia, ukraine. >> those fighters helped fuel the rapid rise. >> the cure for the depression is you have to -- >> they inspire isil's unpress dented social media campaign.

hundreds of propaganda videos, highly produced, well filmed, many featuring photogenic protagonists helped recruit foreigners. >> i'm from the u.k. >> i'm brouwer brother from south africa. >> foreign fighters with membership in the self declared islamic state. more than 50,000 fortune errs joined isil. a few dozen are american. >> we are going for you, barack obama. >> the u.s. believes many of these men crossed into syria from turkey. under heavy u.s. pressure, the turkish parliament voted to close the border and wage war on isil. >> we will fight effectively against both the is state and all other terrorist organizations within the region. >> the crackdown has already started. today, he has given up smuggling

and runs a roadside stand. the the turkish government made his old job too difficult. >> there are now reservations about the previous policy and all the countries have made isil the boogie man. >> shutting the border is completely impossible. turkey said the only thing officially invited to cross into syria are its tanks. >> turkey deploying tanks and armored vehicles to reinforce the border with syria, also looking at sending troops over the border, as well. you can catch a full look at nick's coverage tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. >> a lot of historically black colleges are facing serious money problems, so accepting a $25 million donation would seem a no-brainer. the united negro college fund is under fire for a donation from the koch brothers.

good morning, jonathan. >> good morning. this $25 million donation is actually one of the largest know nation the united negro college fund has received but accepting the money has raised eyebrows from historically black college alumni and civil rights groups who feel accepting this money from the koch brothers will damage its integrity in the long june this is my home away from home. >> starting her senior year in new orleans, britney tyler felt a small college was the right fit for her. >> i felt that coming here with a family environment was something i needed. >> her choice was more clear when she was offered a $10,000 scholarship. >> that has relieved the pressure off my mom. >> last year, the fund gave scholarships to more than 12,000
