here. >> having a place like this where things are controlled, it's a godsend. >> so godeski will be back every day he can. this is al jazeera america, i'm thomas drayton in new york. let's get you caught up on the top stories this hour. a new day in hong kong sees the vast majority of protesters gone from the street. for most people, business as usual. >> we have no doubt we'll stop it in its tracks in texas. >> ebola patient thomas eric duncan fighting for his life, officials counter fears about the spread of the disease. in "the week ahead", we look at past endemics, and if america is

ready to deal with a possible american crisis. a stunning reversal for brazil's president - dilma rousseff forced into a run off election with rival aecio neves. plus... ..in hong kong you are looking live. protesters appear to have heeded the government's warning. the chief executive threatening to take all actions necessary to make sure schools and government offices open monday morning, and they have. a different scene, a handful of protesters remain. adrian brown joining us in hong kong. it's 11:00am monday morning. i'm hooking at live images, this is a busy area with a lot of traffic. there seems to be little activity. can you set the scope for us. >> yes, there has been a bit of

activity in the last few minutes. the barricades were pushed aside by the police station, and vehicles carrying more plain clothed officers drove into the complex goodnight me. this is where the hong kong chief executive has his office. a significant development, civil servants able to return to their deaths. ordinarily the site of bureaucrats going to work wouldn't stir much interest. this was seen as a significant development, maybe a turning point in this crisis because cy leung warned of unspecified police action, unless the civil servants were back at their desks by this morning. a sure sign that slowly hong kong is beginning to return to normal. the barricades remain and a hard core of protesters are still in place. >> we'll get a better feel for the protests, you covered the

process in 1989. do you see similarities? >> i do. the students in beijing in 1989 were very organised, as the students here are. they have their own medical facilities, their own media department, a supermarket where the food and water is free. they have a feeling, a belief of stability that the momentum can continue and get their bigger as students in beijing believe. that ended in blood shed much the fear is that this one might too. >> do we have an indication - you bring up a good point, what might happen if the protesters don't leave. there was a deadline set this morning. >> well, the problem is the hong kong government has been unable or unwilling to contain the crisis. overnight the financial

secretary john chang, the third most important in the territory admitted that psychologically the government had not been prepared for the protests, even though the occupy movement announced their intention to occupy large parts of hong kong and paralyze key business districts. what happens now? well, for the moment china seems content for the hong kong authorities to resolve the crisis. if it's going on a week or two from now, what will they do. china is hosting the apec summit, attended by president obama. they don't want this going on in their backyard. >> the clock is ticking. we have seen police moving barricades, are they trying to push the protesters out or back? >> i think it was a symbolic moment. until now, police have not been

able to drive into the complex. certainly the police seem to be able to enter the building at will. the number of protesters are fewer. gradually we are approaching an end game. >> have university officials played a role in getting the students back or away from the streets? >> they have made the vice-chancellor, the most senior academic in hong kong appeal to the students to go back to their classes. he said "look, you have international attention, you have made your point, it's not worth dying for", church leaders weighed in, as well as officials from both sides of the legislature. there has been these appeals.

there's a hard core of student not prepared to leave. they say the disruption they caused has been worth it, in pursuit of their ideal. let's remember what the students want. they want the right to be able to choose hong kong's next leader. china said "you can have the election, but we are going to decide who the candidates are. unless there's a compromise from china, this could drag on for weeks, if not months. >> a lot of students say they will not back down. adrian brown joining us from hong kong. >> it was a week ago thomas eric duncan became the first and so far the only person in the united states to be diagnose with ebola. for now, the c.d.c. is not planning to increase health checks, and they said the only way to stop a spread of the violence is to stop it in its tracks. >> it's great to have an air of suspicion of to valued every

person that travels. that's what we expect to see, more concerns, so we don't miss a patient and allow it to spread. >> thomas eric duncan remains in critical condition in a dallas hospital, where officials say he is fighting for his life. the community is learning to cope in dallas and texas. >> there was a meeting of the liberian community association. they were getting people from the liberian community together to talk about what is happening here in dallas, and allay fears. today we attended a church service where clergy tried to put people's fears at ease. >> reporter: at the fellowship church in dallas, liberian parishioners lifted their spirits with song, and prayed the deadly virus decimating

their homeland will not do the same here. the counter ebola outbreak in west africa sickened more than 7,000 people, killing half. the first u.s. case was diagnosed in dallas last week. ebola touched many here in one way or another. this woman lost her daughter to the disease and worries about her grandchildren. a doctor lost two former colleagues. >> you are sweating, using the hand, something like that, and transfer the virus. >> reporter: with tears, they hope their families at home will be spared. the bishop offers words of encouragement.

>> 3,000 marines are helpingous -- helping u that's a sign the international community is not forgetting us. >> reporter: many hope the prayers will be answered. the c.d.c. is saying every day that the situation in the yate is not like west africa -- united states, is not like west africa, and they do not expect ebola to spread here like it did there. the journalist with ebola in liberia is on his way home. this is video of the plane taking off. the 33-year-old has been working in west africa for the past 3.5 years, and was freelancing for n.b.c. when he was sick. mupo is the fourth american to contract the disease working in liberia. the massachusetts doctor treated for ebola is back in the hospital. dr richard sacra appears to have

a respiratory infection. health officials don't believe he has relaxed with ebola. he's been pleased in isolation as a precaution. his immune system was probably lower. >> members of the national guard is heading to west africa to help. they'll serve in senna gal and assemble a cargo processing hub. the airmen are assigned to the 103rd contingency response group and will remain in place. >> this is what we do america is a place and people that we can rely on to help. these people are here to help our folks, brothers and sisters. >> officials say the air men shouldn't have contact with anyone that could be carrying the virus. we invite you to join us and focus on whether the united states is reported for an epidemic of any sort.

that's in "the week ahead". . >> u.s. forces hit a number of i.s.i.l. targets in the last 24 hours in iraq and syria. air streaks north-west of iraq's base destroyed a large unit. further east, two i.s.i.l. tanks were hit, and artillery destroyed. across the border, near fallujah, u.s. planes destroyed two areas. despite the air strikes the group fought its way to the outskirts of amir yacht, al-fallujah. australia and belgium started operations. two royal australian air force jets conducted a mission over northern iraq and a belgium x 16 was asked to launch an air strike. i.s.i.l. fighters have taken over part of a hill over looking kobani. turkish forces are holding the line. i.s.i.l. attacks are spreading over the border into turkey. bernard smith has more from the

hour. here is tokyo. see how the storm is disintegrating offshore. you'll see heavy rain. we can see between 6-8 inches of rain over the next 12 hours. it will move quickly. as it goes to the north, it ejects and that will go into the north pacific. today will be a rainy day. by tomorrow things will be on track in terms of transportation. the bullet train was affected by that. we are watching hurricane simon off the coast of california. this storm is expected to make a return to the north-east. we'll see flooding even as a tropical depression. the storm is dropping rain across a desert area. if you remember from a couple of weeks ago, we could see flooding as we go to the next couple

of days. the storm bringing a lot of moisture into the region, the areas, tucson, phoenix, susceptible to flooding. we are looking at new york, 53 degrees. a lot of cool air, we'll see freezing going on in parts of new england overnight. >> it's fall after all. we have to get ready. >> brazil's presidential election will be decided in a run off election. dilma rousseff won most of the votes, but short of outright victory. 142 million took part. we go to sao paulo for more. >> reporter: in the end the brazilians decided they want a little more time to decide who they want to be there. this is going to be a run-off. an opposition senator. for dilma rousseff, she is feeling comfortable in the sense

order that the government hand over the young people alive. >> most of the missing was between 18 and 22, and at their first or second year at a teacher's college. they were last seen taken away by police. fearing repress and violence, the mother of one of the missing wouldn't give her name. >> nothing that they told us is true. we don't believe it, we know that the governor has them. the governor didn't respond to a request for an interview. so far he has not confirmed the bodies for the mass grave. a member of the human rights commission told al jazeera he believes the remains would prove to be those of the missing youth. amidst the rumours, federal authorities are conducting tests - something that could take days. family members say they only trust independent experts from

abroad. >> they are trying to help migrants. they are enrolling students based on the skills, not the legal status. they accept students in roles in the deferred action for arrival programme. ashar quraishi has the story. >> we have a thin muscle. >> tide around a cadaver, these are nerves surrounded by first-year medical students. >> this is where this student planned on being. >> all i knew is i would get good graves. then i new it was a documented status. i had less than 1% chance of being admitted. >> medical schools were unlikely to work as students. >> it wam when i was young.

>> this girl came from pakistan at the age of 3. she was undocumented, and her mother encouraged her dream of being a doctor. >> i didn't thing i would be accepted. there were a lot of obstacles, but my family and i remained hope: i knew that some sort of solution would pop up. >> the solution came two years ago when president obama announced deferred action. or dhaka. >> they are americans in the hearts, minds. in every way but one - on paper. >> many immigrants could receive permission to live and work. >> they were accepted to the university, the strict school of medicine. >> by looking at the students

you realise they bring the ability to serve the community. there's every reason to utilize the talent. for the benefit of society. using no tax pair dollars, they created a programme for the students, available to any area in illinois. students agreed to work for years. it's an arrangement that the doctor said would help clinics serve low income communities. >> there's a shortage of primary care position. now people have insurance. sometimes it may be to find a primary care doctor or speaks their language. it could be a bigger deal. >> it's a need many are willing to fill if given the chance. >> how prepared it the united

states for an en'emic. find out what the country is doing. >> in an announcement from hewlett packard - details on the way.

welcome back to al jazeera america, here are the top stories we are following. it's monday morning in hong kong. protests subsided to a large degree. civil servants were act return to government headquarters. some demonstrators are camped out to find the deadline to clear the streets. brazil's election will be decided. dilma rousseff won most of the votes, but fell short of a majority. >> more than 142 million people took part in the vote. u.s. health officials are struggling to calm the public's fear of ebola. a week ago thomas eric duncan became the first and only person diagnosed with the disease, he remained in critical condition. it is sunday night and time

for our regular look at the week ahead. the spread of ebola in west africa overwhelmed hospitals. in the past week the virus appeared here, the first patient diagnosed on u.s. soil in dallas, texas. how the case was handled raised questions. how will the country deal with a crisis or epidemic down the line. we begin with this report. >> reporter: endemics are part of history. the spanish flu pandemic killed up to 50 people worldwide. more died from the flu. one out of every three or four infected were killed. fast-forward to today, and the appearance of ebola in texas is

raising questions about epidemic and containment. ebola is a scary disease because of the severity of the illness caused, and we are hoping for the recovery of the individual. at the same time we are stopping it in its tracks. >> the c.d.c. is stopping protocols. it's essential to diagnose new cases, and it's important to have the means to distribute supplies, medicines and vaccines, it's also important to quarantine the sick. the focus raises a bigger question - how prepared is the u.s. when it comes to fighting endemics. the c.d.c. raised a flag with a report warning of: congressional funding for public health preparedness shrunk by a billion dollars since the height

of its funding since the 2001 anthrax attacks. state and local governments cut 50,000 jobs since the crisis. as if to prove the warnings, the entero virus sent children to hospitals, even as the media focussed on ebola. more than 500 cases has been confirmed of the dangerous disease enterio virus strain in 40 states. the man that discovered ebola in the 19 '70s, dr peter pi ot said in an interview the biggest disease threat to americans is the flu. each year various flu strains send about 2,000 americans to hospital. and over a 30 year period 50,000 died because of complications from it. to fight the spread of ebola, the u.s. sent another 600 troops to the region, there are 200 on the ground.

new arrivals will provide engineering and logistical support. with the possibility of the disease spreading at home, the u.s. focussed on preparation. it's not the first time officials had to bolster the country's offenses. they faced s.a.r.s. to m.e.r.s., and swin flu, h1n1. it called for funding on ranch prvention and contain: i want to bring in the doctor, a senior consultant at the u p&c center at pittsburgh. >> americans are hearing about the infectious diseases. we talked about ebola, the upcomi upcoming season. what is the concern? >> infectious diseases have been a concern, whether it's ebola, s.a.r.s., m.e.r.s., avian, there's a disease emerging. we live in a world populated by

microbes. it's not surprising to see threats on the horizon. it's something that should be concerned about. infectious diseases are a major port of health. >> are we prepared for a crisis. >> there's a lot of substance to prepare the country for a pandemic, it's ongoing, particularly in the earlier lead-in. the anthrax attacks spurred a lot of attacks of all levels, including antivirals, department, hospital preparedness and others. all of that through the out of the 2001 anthrax attack, making the country more prepared than it has been. there are erosions in the games that we made, and there's always going to be a wishlist of things that will make us are more prepared than we are currently. >> are there another antivirals

on hand. >> there's a lot of influenza antivirals kept in stockpiles. i worry about m.e.r.s. or s.a.r.s., which we have no antiviral for. it's 10 years after s.a.r.s., and there's zero antivirals or vaccines, there's dangers from having unknown viruses emerge in the united states. that's what a lot of investments spurred. looking at the diseases not on the radar. we are seeing incursions into the population, making sure there's a pipeline ready. ebola in 2001 was not on anyone's list. the bush administration thought of it as a bioterrorist rift and started to make strategic investments, all the antivirals are fruits of those labours. >> i want to bring in a professor of epidemiology from st. louis, dr gaza. i want to talk about an opinion you had in the "new york times". you said the response to ebola

has to be more intensive. to you feel the government is doing enough? >> i do at this time. i think it's important to stay on alert as well. even though i think we are a little slow to ramp up, i believe it's on the radar screen for everybody. there's more steps to be taken. they were adamant to looking at the options, and not limiting anything. >> are there factors that are crucial in determining how severe an epidemic will be. one is transmissibility, of course. i think that's where a lot of talk about an epidemic of ebola coming to the united states really does not pass that test. it still is a difficult task to come between people. ebola clearly needs it. very high case, it's what drives a lot of fears surrounding the

virus. >> do all hospitals have disease specialists on hands. >> most of them do. >> in major metropolitan areas, almost every hospital has an infectious disease specialist. when you get into the rural hospitals, that's where you run into challenges of treating specialists, infectious disease doctors, to remain on the staff. >> where do we stand on the vaccination rates of the u.s. >> vaccination rates are high. the danger is that is slipping away because of the movement causing doubt. we are seeing insurgents. thinks unheard of that are coming back. there are book et cetera of individuals. we have to make sure that we are not where we need to be. we have a little ways to go. >> we'll talk about funding.

is takes money to fight the disease. is there enough federal funding to tackle the disease. >> there is a lot of federal funding. also a lot on the wishlist. we look at where diseases are occurring. lots of health departments don't have the capacity to process the data. doing case fipting. contact tracing. they are at risk because of a funding cut that occurs. >> stand by. fighting a disease like ebola means knowing what you are up against. getting the funding about research is not easy. the science and technology correspondent jake ward has nor. >> zoo nottic diseases pass from animals to humans.

it affects humans, arnal nating in animals. the classic examples is anthrax, dengue fever and ebola. the difficulty with diseases is they require an incredible amount of data. the classic way for a scientist to vet the possibility that a certain infix as disease is required this an animal is a test of hypothesis. there's one bat. there's one disease in it, you test the hypothesis, it's true or it's not. that's how funding works. >> they really like that plopsal. we'll investigate one species for one infection. there are far too many. for any investigator to be that lucky. researchers are trying to use a systems approach. a data investigation in which you look at all the infix us

diseases and get out in front of it. a great ability to get out in front of thing. and be surprised by diseases like ebola. it's hard for a scientist to convince authorities to give them the money for what is called a fishing trip. in this case. they take the era of big data, moving it in to the signs, and how it's -- science and how it's funded in the future. >> how do you stay a sep ahead of the crisis. >> it's tough. your report was spied on. it's tough to get funding from things that hadn't happened. tradition olly congress nuned in a proactive manner. you see when the crisis comes up, it's ease i why get funding,

it's tough in times of sequester and limited budgets. and to get files for things. you need to work on now. it's very tough, governmental officials, to convince funding. fund makers and law makers, that these are important things to focus on and put money on. >> do we need a federal health database to track where the ebola has been. >> it's been used in terms of public health trackingment we have a database of contacts, using that to deal with on the ground epidemiology is something that would be useful. they are used to using low tech methods, taking a piece of paper and a pen, but anything that will make our job better.

>> at who point are travel restrictions necessary. at what point to u.s. officials take action. >> they are a tricky thing. it runs the risk of isolating a country and making the disease harder to fight. when you prevent people coming out and restricting what was coming in. in the case of ebola, the economies are threatened by this disease. they are losing a lot of g.d.p., and losing a lot of lives there. to further isolate them may put them on the verge of collapse, if they are not teetering on the edge of collapse. >> how concerned should we be about entero virus. we had a 4-year-old die in new jersey. >> we should be concerned about entero virus. it's formidable. we haven't seen this virus crop up in decades. it's come back in a virulent

form. it's overcrowding emergency and i.c.u., and is taking the life of a young child in new jersey. not only that, there's case studies of muscle weakness and paralysis associated with the virus, that the c.d.c. is investigating. we have not written a chapter on this. it's important for us to stay out in front of the virus. >> there are many strains, correct, up to 100. >> over 100, they are different strains, the ones we are focussed on now is the d68 strain. >> what can we expect from the upcoming flu season? >> it depends. the flu seep can be a crap shoot. the c.d.c. does a lot of work looking into the southern hemisphere, which is where you get most of your samples from. while we have our summer, we are having the winter, the season

flip-flops. they take the prevalent strains from the southern hemisphere to develop the vaccine for the negligence fears. so far -- northern hemispheres. so that are there's not any strains we have not developed a vaccine for. as seen in the past with h1n1 sometimes there are strains that can come up and surprise you. >> i know a lot of people watching this are scratching the head. you talk about ebola, entero virus, and the flu season - how do you know which is which when you are dealing with a medical emergency? >> it's hard when you have many things coming at once, and you can add middle east respiratory symptoms. you need astute physicians, and hospitals that can rapidly diagnostically, and that is the

point. they can direct treatment based on the diagnostic test. we are a ways away from it. a goal that the infectious disease wanted for a long time. >> in our final moments i'll get each of you a couple of seconds. what needs to change when we deal with infectious diseases? >> first to you drz gaza. >> there needs to be adequate funding for developing vaccines and preventing them from spreading in the first place. second, education, and not just education about ebola, and thirdly every year you have an opportunity to be vaccinated against a large killer. that's influenza. >> and your final thoughts. >> i share dr gaza's sentiments. all the things we have seen in the life span is due to the

control of infectious diseases. a famous surgeon general said we have closed the book on infectious diseases. we won't close it. there'll always be infectious disease threats. people have to realise that they are important threats to haenth. they have to be vaccinated and integrate this into the lucky thoughts about their health. >> senior associate at the up center for health security in pittsburg, and dr alexander gaza. >> and a professor of epidemiology. thank you for joining us on the week ahead. >> a major announcement from hewlett packard coming up, and an investigation into a fire at the 9/11 complex in pennsylvania.

another live look at hong kong where it is 11:43 in

the morning. protestors heed the government's warning, the chief executive threatened to take all actions necessary to make sure schools and government offices open monday morning. they have a different scene. only a handful of protesters remain. joining us now is victor gow, from the organization of international studies. great to have you with us. first of all, do you believe the protesters in hong kong have a legitimate grievance? >> thank you for having me. first of all, i think we need to give credit to the protesters who decided to lift the blockade and leave the area surrounding the government premises. this is a good sign and other protesters will follow suit. many have legitimate reasons.

the area with strong roots of rule of law. they need to do so, abiding by the law, not violating the law. many of these demonstrations are labelled as illegal by the hong kong government. i think the government has legitimate reason coming up with a characterisation. first of all, they they do not police approval. and secondly whatever demonstrations they have done, resulted in a huge amount of disruption of traffic and chaos and disruption of the daily livelihood of the people. that says, i think, that the protesters need to come up with legitimate reasons to do the protest and doing the protest by abiding by the law. >> i know there's a slight delay, the protesters say they are not allowed to academically choose leaders, is that a claim

you believe is real? >> i think so. what is at issue is the nominating process for the position of chief executive. if you look around at the world, there's no single universally accepted way to nominate candidates to be the head of state or head of a political system. in hong kong there's a tradition of rule of law established by the british to start with, before 1997, there was not much of democracy to talk about. therefore, in hong kong today, there's a process to bring in greater democracy gradually, rather than achieve everything in one stroke. and by launching illegal demonstrations, we undermine the rule of law why you are promoting democracy and the rule of law. it will be a false democracy to

start with. whatever legitimate reasons, you need to advocate the rules through legal means. beijing gay a deadline to the protesters, we see a small crowd monday morning. what are beijing's options at this point. well, under one country two system, deal with such event or protests in hong kong is completely the responsibility for the hong kong government. the central government does not need to intervene, unless, for example, control of the civic situation is lost, and if there were other events like aggression, et cetera. thereof, for the central government in beijing, they don't need to overpanic. they are concerned about the situation. it's not the right time for them

to intervene in events in hong kong. it's fully on the shoulders of the government and the police department. they have confidence in the government and the police in hong kong. they are well trained and know how to deal with situations like this, and compared with other situations like frankfurt, london, paris, washington, new york, the demonstrations in hong kong. though they are a big storm in hong kong, they are not that significantly. and the ramification relatively speaking is well controllable. victor gow with the china area of international studies. >> a founding father of the siliconville yea text scene reporting into two different companies. they plan to split the printer

and corporate part of the company. an announcement may be made monday. the company declined to comment to al jazeera. >> they are third to microsoft, but on track to bring in there 1 billion in revenue this first call year. no signs of foul play or arson at the memorial at pennsylvania. the blaze destroyed the flag. also lost personal its belonging to the passengers and crew on united flight 93 when it crashed in shanksville. the flight 93 national memorial complex is a loss, but the memorial itself is not affected ♪ justice for my brother ♪ justice for us all ... protesters went to the st louis symphony, after the

intermission 50 audience members began to sing justice for michael brown is justice for us all. the 5 minute protest ended peacefully with the demonstrations walking out chanting black lives matter. michael brown was killed in august by a police officer. michael phelps says he will enter a treatment programme following a second drunk-driving arrest in baltimore. on his twitter account he said he'd take time away from the sport to work on himself. he is one of the most decorated olympians, winning 22 medals. at the time of the arrest he was training for the 2016 olympic team. he was arrested in 2004 for drunk-driving at the age of 19. in south africa the u.s. army is studying whether elephants can help to detect explosives. it may sound like an unusual task for a huge animal.
