safety. >> two months after the shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown, frustration lingers over the arrest of darren wilson, the police officer who shot and killed brown. the 4-day event kicked off with night time children isles and demonstrators marching. despite a face-off, protests were peaceful, no arrests were made. >> what does that mean in the grand scheme of things. >> this is beautiful. i'm happy. the venue may be downtain st. louize, there are people all over the countries voicing what they believe in. everything from justice, racial equality. it came days after a police

officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager. >> there's not a light switch we can throw on, we can make it better. >> reporter: organizers expected thousands to participate in the weekend of resistance. rallies, marches and protest are expected to culminate in acts of disobedience, for which protesters say they are ready to be arrested for jennifer london is live in ferguson, where the demonstrations stretched into sunday morning. i wonder as it stands, is there a sense that the latest rounds are having an effect, the effect they wanted them to have? >> can i provide context to give you the answer to that. it starts with the two protests, one that began last night, and another that went into the early

morning hours. the first protest began in ferguson, starting on the streets. protesters marched 2 miles to the ferguson police station where a crowd of 200 gathered. chanted, sang songs, and many yelled directly at the police. that protest remained peaceful. compare that to the second protest beginning at midnight. this is the neighbourhood where von drinking myers was shot and killed on wednesday. protests began and marched 2.5 hours. that is when the st louis police tactical units arrived and told the crowd to disperse or be arrested. at this point this protest was anything but peaceful.

[ chanting ] >> reporter: many were pepper sprayed ... we apologise, we lost jennifer london's feed from ferguson, missouri. in iraq a police chief was killed in a bombing attack. he and his crew were fighting off i.s.i.l. forces. four other police men were injured. imran khan joins us live from baghdad. what happens in this latest attack? >> about three hours ago the police chief left one of the main cities to drive to investigate an incident. he was ambushed.

there was an i.e.d. explosion. there was a shoot out in which he and three body guards were killed. this is a blow to the security of anbar province, he was seen as a tough guys, someone that can bring law and order to the region. he's a high value target. i.s.i.l. got him as a direct result of what happened there. the whole of anbar province is given a curfew. sunni politicians are saying the coalition air strikes are not enough. we need ground troops to fight the i.s.i.l. threat. i.s.i.l. control parts of ramadi, fallujah, and the biggest cities. the three major cities, and they are pushing further into the province. they are coming close to baghdad. the latest reports suggesting they are 10 miles away.

the government put in around baghdad, reinforcements, heavy artillery to repel any threat. they are not in large numbers near the capital, but they are near the capital. >> it is an issue. imran khan reporting live a gaza donor's conference is under way. the foreign ministers of about 30 countries are there. there's not a representative from israel. the talks are centered on the reconstruction efforts in gaza after a war with israel. officials raising more than 1.5 million for its rebuilding. this week marks six months since hundreds of nigerian girls were ab tucted from their school. a candle light procession was used to mark the milestone. some managed to escape the boko haram captors.

six the abduction, 11 parents decide. >> cyclone hudhud is pounding the eastern coast. there has been damage as storms brought winds of 120 miles per hour. 300,000 people have been forced to flee their hopes. there are reports of three people killed. hudhud is not the only major storm, there's typhoon vongfong. two major storms. >> yes, the big one is hudhud, equivalent to a category 4 hurricane. the problem is that the radar site is down, which is tracking the storm, not getting the latest information. people are urged to stay indoors for six hours, past the storm moving over the coast. this is a tropical system. it intensified. this is the radar site. landfall is when the eye of the

storm here moves over land. that is what happened. that's where you see the heaviest damn, and where the strongest wind is, higher gusts getting you that wind, that is the problem with india now. this is vongfong. it was a typhoon. it's a tropical storm as it moved over the land. it pushes up to the north. we are certainly looking at that. this is the satellite picture. there is the center of the storm. this is the eye. not as intense as what it was. a lot of damage coming down across the area. because of the tropical systems. vongfong could move to mainland japan. we could see the aftermath of that still to come - expressing anger with art. >> i express my anger.

that's why we have a song. you can guess what it is. the crafty way young people in hong kong demand democracy in the strong face of leaders. >> i'm in new york where environmental groups fight to keep a pipeline from being built and two scarce in the air as one airline sees two flights making landings within minutes of each other at the same airport.

would we want to go back to a top story. the rebuilding offa after months of bombardment by israel.

imtiaz tyab is live. officials are calling to a billion and a half for reconstruction. have they given an indication of how far the money would go, and what does it say that israel is not attending the conference in cairo. >> it's a huge sum. the palestinians are offering for $4 pillion after the 50 day conflict between israel and hamas. changes are considerable. if you look over my shoulder, this was someone's home. people used to live here. there's nothing left. it's a shell of a house, and just, you know, what you can see which is part of their life. scenes of destruction is what you can see. as you point out.

they said that they hope to raise 1.5 billion for reconstruction needs. that question about why israel is not taking part is because, frankly, the relationship between israel and, indeed donor countries is not very good. there's reports that that may cast a shadow over what the people are trying to do. many are discussing a way to prevent the cycle of violence that we have seen in the gaza strip over the past six years. we have seen three wars in which many people have died. many people have lost their homes. here we are again with a donor conference trying to raise money for the reconstruction of the gaza strip. >> you can understand why someone might be reluctant to give money, because they could see this happening all over

again voting is under way in bosnia herzegovina. boz nians voting for national, renaling aonal and local -- regional and local regions. bosnia is a poor country. 50% were unemployed a warning from a hong kong leader as clashes broke out between protesters and police. in a television interview, it was said that governments may use force to clear demonstrators from the area. protesters have been on the streets demanding leung's resignation. despite the warning, the demonstrators in hong kong pledged to keep up the person oar on the government. as we are told, some are using creative ways to make their presence felt.

[ singing ] sweet melo dis, these have a harsh message for the leader c.y. leung. >> we want to express anger to cy. that's why we have the song. you can guess what it is. >> protesters are finding all kinds of ways to express themselves. it's turning the protest site into an art gallery. arn artwork that is becoming a peaceful movement. now called umbrella man, its creator never imagining that i would become the centre piece. >> i saw is picture on the internet, some guy holding an umbrella to share with the police. that inspired me to do this the protests not only illustrated how different hong kong is from china, it's changing how some around the

world viewed the territory. >> hong kong has been known as a financial hub. it revealed a passionate political confrontation. the art critic grew up in hong kong. for the first time artists can use the city. hong kong had pockets of graffiti. being a constrained city, with little public space. suddenly with a protest you have huge highways, walkways between malls roads. >> reporter: there's no end to the creative talent. all the artists are here for a reason. because the number of protests are defined ladies and gentlemen, i want to represent a

person so we can occupy the areas. no one nose how long they can stay on the street. the future is in doubt. the protesters left a lasting impression, changing how many see the city some have compared the umbrella man to a goddess of democracy. >> still to come, a pipe leap proected is not sitting well. could environmentalists bring an edto a projected that could help the environment well, it's not the same sydney opera house in australia. it didn't stop the simmingers hitting the high notes.

heart stopping moment for dozens of passengers flying on two u.s. flights. the planes made emergency landings. this is the scene, passengers had to put on oxygen masks. the second plane had an hydraulic problem. both landed safely. no one was injured. political debate rages over the

xl and tar sands pipeline. as al jazeera's kalean ford reports, some residents vowed to stop the pipeline in their community. >> rockaway beach is home and new. >> when hurricane sandy hit hard. people's lights were in the street. so much was going on. there was beauty. much of the community located 25 miles south of manhattan was destroyed. victoria was surprised to learn a month after the storm on november 27, 2012, president obama signed a war allowing a major pipeline to be built. it's like they snuck it in. disaster capitalism at worst.

they took advantage of the community. the pipeline is constructed by williams, running through the gateway park. and across from the wildlife refuge. >> williams expects it could be finished. when complete it could run another two miles. it will carry 647 thoued at high pressure. the gas will be adjusted. hurricane sandy was responsible for the leaks. >> water does not bother them at all. >> residents voiced concern about williams's assessed

record. the hype lines have been involved since 2006. that's why some residents and activists are pushing to have the pipeline shut. in june protesters trespassed on to the site and protested the construction. activists say it's more than stopping this pipeline. >> we can't allow the cops to play the pipes and imagine they'll go sore. i don't know if williams has a policy. for us, as our company, i don't think we are concerned about climate change. it is on the front lines of climate change, and also on the

front line of finding solutions. >> it should be the poster boy for sustainable energy. we have an opportunity to do something different here. >> reporter: an opportunity some fear the rocca ways could lit. >> the new pipeline is expected to deliver enough gas to power 2 million homes. australia is taking the opera to the great outdoors. [ singing ] >> singers giving breath taking performances in a national park. opera in the outback is a mixture of culture and gut i beauty and has become an iconic event in australia. we'll keep it here. we'll have more breaking news story. a second person diagnosed with ebola in the u.s.

we'll talk about the security screening and what the medical community is doing to stop the proceed. i'll be back for the 8 o'clock hour of al jazeera america >> transcranial direct stimulation... don't try this at home! >> tech know's team of experts show you how the miracles of science... >> this is my selfie... what can you tell me about my future? >> ...can effect and surprise us... >> sharks like affection >> tech know, where technology meets humanity... only on al jazeera america

breaking news in dallas, a health care working caring for thomas eric duncan, now testing positive for ebola st louis area taken by storm by protesters this weekend. inside one of the world's

distretive societies, al jazeera gets a look at life in north korea and on deadly ground, the water supply threatening lives. why locals are furious with their government good morning, welcome to "al jazeera america". i'm michael eaves. we have breaking news out of dallas, a texas hospital worker tested positive for ebola in the u.s. let's go to ross with the latest. >> right. despite the precautions that the health care workers took, it shows how ebola could spread. the infected person is a worker reporting having a low-grade fever friday night. 24 hours later the ebola diagnosis was confirmed. that worker cared for thomas eric duncan, the liberia man that died at the tex jp hospital. this morning a state health official released a statement saying:

this is after medical screenings began in new york to check travellers ask from west africa. >> armed with temperature gun and ebola question airs, medical teams screened travellers ask from west africa on saturday. as the centers for disease control and prevention stepped up efforts to stop the spread of the virus. i don't see why there would be an issue. i would rather them be safe, at least our borders be safe. officials say a tiny fraction of passengers would be affected. but caution that the screening is one aspect of an overall strategy despite the spread of ebola. no matter how many procedures are put into play, we cannot get

the rick to zero. >> -- risk to zero. >> john f kennedy is the first to interview prot j coles, and then new jersey, chicago, washington d.c. and chicago will start haensed screenings from west african countries that have been hit hardest. a texas hospital where a health care worker tested positive will be holding a news conference we'll bring that to the viewers. joining me now is an infectious disease specialist. your reaction to the news. any surprise. this could be the possibility of a second case in the u.s. >> i'm not surprised. the health care workers at the texas press bett earian did not handle the case properly. >> do you think that the person that had it most likely

contracted it during the first visit, not when sent back to the hospital in the ambulance? >> precisely. when he presented to the hospital he was systematic, when you are symptomatic, he had fevers and other things, you are shedding virus, so someone can contract the disease. health care workers attending to him were not treating him as if he may be a suspected case, they didn't take the precautions. now the concern for texas officials and the c.d.c., is how many people this person has been in contact with. >> that's correct. just like with thomas eric duncan, they had the concentric circle approach, tracking the people he was contact with and those people. and monitoring them. that's what we'll see again, with this health care worker. my hope would be that the health care worker has not been in contact with too many people

since becoming systematic. you have to have symptoms to transmit. maybe this is unfair. do you think the average american hospital is prepared to deal with ebola, or is it a select number throughout the country that are ready to deal with something like this. it seems as though texas - they say they were ready. when it happened to them, they weren't. a lot of it comes down it - it's not the hospital building or supplies, it's medical professionals being on alert. the best protection is to ask the right questions and being aware and acting on that information. in this situation they had the history that this thomas eric duncan came back from africa. they knew he had a fever, but did not add the two together and take action. early detection is key for any ailment. >> absolutely. with ebola, in terms of spread,

and in terms of thomas eric duncan's untimely death, very likely it resulted in delays to his diagnosis and treatment. with ebola, timing is everything. you need to start treatment as soon as possible. we hope to have more information coming up later about that an nbc news crew is under quarantine after one violated an agreement to voluntarily contain themselves. the team worked with ashoka makpo, who contracted ebola. he is being treated at nebraska medical center. he is improving. the n.b.c. crew has not shown symptoms. they will be quarantined until october 22nd. we are awaiting a news conference. we'll bring it to you live as it happened. the latest batting ebola in spain. and we talk to the commander in place here in america

a child died from ent d68. it caused the illness of 21-year-old madeline reed. a 4-year-old jersey boy died from the virus. >> in st louis thousands march for the weekend, marching for resistance. [ chanting ] >>. >> they are protesting local bias, this event started on friday and lasts through monday. we have this report. this event is not just filled with marches, but discussions on how the country and the community can move forward. >> reporter: it's called the weekend of resistance in and around st louis, and it may seem like another outpouring of rage at another police force accused of brutality. >> it's a highly organised and

carefully conceived campaign, looking for justice in st. louse as a whole. yes, there are the demonstrations, but there are seminars examining race, class, agenda, the economy and the law. the union is representing millions, mobilize said to analyse what is at the roots of the killing of young black men. >> a domestic worker says the killing of michael brown in ferguson in august. cat lieses alliances building on the own. >> part of what we see on television is moments. this is a movement that started with rodney king. we see an advantages on decades of organising, centering the roll of violented. the killing unleashed energy

toured of racial profiling but in a movement setting its sites on the routes of inequality. joint typhoon warning centre is live. demonstrations stretched. i wonder the sense in the city, in terms of the effectiveness in the latest round of demonstrations. in terms of the effectiveness, the demonstrations are still ongoing. we don't yet know how effective they'll be. to offer contact. there were protests debipping last night, starting on the street where michael brown was shot and killed. protesters marched. they chanted, sang, men yelled at the police officers, and

wills ready they took a position, this protest was peaceful. compare that to the second protest. in the sure neighbourhood, this is where von deric was shot on wednesday. protesters marched 2.5 miles to a quick trip store. that's when the st. louis metropolitan police tresed in riot gear arrived demanding the crowd be dispersed or arrested. at that point the protest was anything put peaceful.

[ chants ] many more were pepper sprayed, including our camera woman, a number of people were arrested. we don't have the number of how many people were taken into custody. >> that's obviously the scene that st louis officials did not want to see. i know the police chief did not have tactical units in the day time. but they were there last night. how did the crowd react to the force. do you have a sense of what the response would be in the further demonstrations following the incident. >> went the tactical scenes arrived, dressed in full riot gear, beginning to slam their clubs into the pavement. the crowd that had been peaceful got agitated. they were angry. it changed the tenure of the protest.

i spoke with a group of college students, a group that i met at the protest in ferguson. i found them and said this time, at this protest the police reacting differently. >> as they interview me. they came right now. police continue to move the protesters from the side walk to a position across the street to where the crowd retreated and everywhere dispersed. we don't know how many were arrested, and there are more protests and rallies planned for the weekend

we'll have coverage throughout the weekend. jennifer london reporting live in ferguson. >> violence rattles iraq. there has been a series of attacks. an anbar police cheap was killed. military in the north was targeted. >> what do we know about the attacks? >> well, the one in dial yes province was at least two -- diyala prove yips was at least two suicide bombers. the figure is as high as 150 people killed. the kurdish peshawar forces have been fighting fiercely with i.s.i.l. forces, particularly as you go down from the base, a town under the control of i.s.i.l., and half upped the control of kurdish peshawar

forces. in anbar to the west, the police chief was ambushed. he was killed with three body guards. it's a blow to security. they have put a curfew across the region. more and more sunni law-makers are saying that the i.s.i.l. threat cannot be dealt with by coalition air strikes. that you need boots on the ground. and a leader of the provincial counsel said that may well be american boots or peacekeeping forces. he did not say which one, just that they needed international supporters on the ground. >> imran khan reporting live. thank you kurdish forces in syria say they shifted from defense to attack. i.s.i.l. pushing in. the kurds say they made gapes in the east after coalition air strikes. stefanie dekker report as the

kurds prepare to bury those that lost their lives in battle. >> reporter: martyrs never die, the chant of a final farewell. the bodies of two fighters of the y.p.g., the kurdish group fighting are laid to rest. >> translation: these two people who we buried today were taken to hospital here in turkey. they were injured. now they have lost their lives. on saturday, the nonstop sound of the sandoff. sources inside kobane tell us there's a fears fight under way on the south-west edge of the town. there has been coalition air strikes. many say they are helping but it's a battle far from over. along the border. there's a tang formation behind me. it's a source of anger among the kurds, the fact that the military has not done anything to get involved in the fight against i.s.i.l.

the fight has become hugely symbolic for the kurds kobane is under siege for 26 days. the people are with kobane. they are standing here to guard the border. they want to stop is your taking i.s. from the site. this is not where the fighters would want to be buried. some say one day they'll be taken back to kobane to be put to rest. no one knows when that day may be u.s. officials expect to lead with turkish leaders in a role against the fight with i.s.i.l. we have been following ebola on american report. plus an entire town destroyed by

raging wild fair. this morning a man is behind bars, and full-out from a cloud. damage in the south after a twister touched

. >> the international monetary fund quickly went out of its way to put in place a facility of three countries of 130 million made available quickly, so they could have the benefit of budgetary support to face the difficult situation that the three countries are facing. >> the head of the i.m.f. told financial leaders gathered in washington na if more money is needed to battle the disease, interest free loans will be there. >> there's optimism in spain where nurses appeared to improve. on saturday they were conscious. paul brennan has more from madrid. >> from outside the carlos the iii hospital, there has been glimpses of the ongoing effort to say teresa romero.

here life hangs in the balance, but a week since the auxiliary nurse was confirmed with the virus, she is the only positive case of the disease here so far. responsibility for tackling the murs has been taken way from the health minister ana mato. a special committee will meet daily. tighter monitoring in britain has been introduced, targetting travellers arriving from ebola-infected countries. experts say asking passengers whether they feel unwell will be of limited effectiveness. >> you brought your ticket and say yes, i've got a fever. are you really going to say that you have. >> the u.n. is urging against outright travel bands. >> recent cases show that this

is a global crisis much the answer is not to impose travel bans. it will isolate the country, not the disease. it will prevent aid reaching those in need. >> reporter: in spain they have known about the dajers, it seems only good fortune presented the disease knowing what was spread. joining me now is a commanding officer. now the director of crisis and emergency management. first i want to ask you about the second case of ebola. you have a paramedics background. any surprise that this could have happened with the thomas eric duncan, having someone else

contract ebola. >> he went to the hospital. he was sig, already contagious, and he spent time contacting the ambulance crew and a number of other people. he then came back the second time in an ambulance and contacted a number of people in the emergency room. there was standard precautions taken with every patient by health care workers. but they are not 100% until you realise someone is infectious. >> obviously concerned those in contact with thomas eric duncan could have contracted it. we have screenings under way, j.f.k. in new york. what precautions is the c.d.c. and the department of homeland security taking to make sure these people also may not contract ebola. >> they'll take normal

precautions, they'll wear gloves and masks, wash their hands, and make a point of cleaning their clothing. some of them may wear gowns. and masks and hair covering. but they'll be doing things to make sure they don't infect themselves or cross contaminate others that they work with. >> from what we understand with the screenings, they'll check the temperature. but when you travel internationally out of the country into the united states, you bet off a plane and are hoarded into the same custom lines, a plane from guinea or belgium. what precautions are they taking to sequester passengers before coming in from other planes. >> if the person is showing symptoms, they'll be segregated from everywhere else. if they are not showing obvious symptoms, it went be until they get to the immigration station,

where the passport is checked. that they'll look and realise that this person had been in one of those three countries. there are no flights to the united states from the countries, they have gone somewhere else first. >> there's levels of screenings that some passengers will under go. from your experience, do you think there's enough measures in place. if not, what would you add. >> there's no way to be 100% sure. we can do broader screening, not just people from those countries. there are cameras that can be set up to look at people as they come through and alert if someone has a fever. it can be set at alarms, where body temperature is 99 or 100. it can send alerts before they get online. that is not specific. that is anyone with a fever.

it has been effective. >> how much confidence do you have that the protocols will protect others coming into the cunt rip. >> the multilevels before getting on an aeroplane, it will catch some people. there's no solution that's 100%. >> thank you for the insight. >> here is a live look at texas health presbyterian hospital. a news conference scheduled here. a second person tested positive. they'll send a test to the c.d.c. we'll bring you a live news conference as it happens from dallas. >> moving on, they are cleaning up in dallas from a twister. >> we look at the damage coming

in. this is video. strong storms came through yesterday. trees blown down. we'll look at the damage. here is what it will look like on the radar. storms moved through. that's why where the tornado was reported. there's one or two across the south-east of the further north, it is cooler. that is changing. warmer weather is coming in. >> wisconsin governor scott swauker overruled by the supreme court. blocked from voter eye d laws. that and the look of crucial senate races. weekend in politics is next. >> and a reclusive nation, and al jazeera gets exclusive action on the ground. a look at daily life in north koreaar the break.

we are following breaking new, a health care workers at texas hospital has contracted ebola, that health worker treated thomas eric duncan. we'll bring you the news catholic church as it happened live. it's time to talk politics, and we have big stories coming up in the head of the midterm elections across america, including one as it relates to governor scott walker. he was overruled by the supreme court as it relates to a law from 2011. hets hear from the governor. >> the court had its reason for wanting to delay it. ultimately it will be upheld. it makes it easier to vote. we think protecting the integrity is important. >> joining me now, former aid to karl rove, and former advisor to

joel lieberman. a voter id has been in issue. it's usually from the republican side. what does it say for the voter id restrictions. courts are not allowing the restrictive laws to go into place. i think the republican party has a challenge on the issue. most americans agree that it is fair to ask to prove the identity. i think the republicans struggled in terms of explaining and justifying the laws that they tried to implement when it comes to vars implications. >> in wisconsin, some 300,000 people would not have been able to vote. the number was more than 600,000. primarily black and latino

voters. what happened is an example with politics, which is both parties have given up trying to persuade people that they have an affirmative agenda. each party resorts to doing whatever they can. that's what the republicans are desperately doing, they can't compete for younger or minority voters. it's reprehensible. thank god the supreme court stepped in creating a bull work. sending a message that this is not the way to run a democracy should the courts be involved. if they team that laws need to be passed. i take a different view from dan. we learnt the difference of 537 votes made the difference to who the next president was.

we have a duty to maintain the election. some form is not understand automobile. the means with which we go about if is going called into question. >> i will not use the florida election result as an example of what went right. that would be a failure and pollittizisation. the republicans sought to replicate - not to win by disqualifying people, but it is a terrible thing for a democracy. >> democrats believe republicans will exclude people. and another way that republicans that listen to democrats that restrict the vote is redistributing in. they said we will not allow you

to change. >> it's significant, the ruling, but politicians from both sides engaged for many years. one of reasons they are better at it is to guarantee african-american congress men. it's good in the first run. in the wrong run what that does is allows republicans to pack votes, create safe seats. >> one of the ways we can resurrect the integrity of system is to have continuity, varying from state to state. in some places i think we should she, and i hope we will see it a standardizition going tored

alleviating the problem. >> an example is where there are retired judges, they draw lines that make sense, contiguous, and both sides in iowa like it. >> i want to get you more from you, but first to dallas, where they are having a press conference in relation to the second person who contracted be ebola. i expect with the activities information will come to light let's remember that this is a real person going through a great ordeal, and so is that person's family, and let's be as respectful as we can possibly

be. we expected that something - that it was possible that a second person could contract the virus. contingency plans were put into place and the hospital will discuss the way that the health care worker followed those contingency plans which will make the jobs in monitoring and containment much easier in this case than in the last one. i want to tres before bringing up the doctor, an important fact. you cannot contract ebola other than from the bodily fluids of a systematic ebola victim.

you cannot attract ebola by walking by people in the street or by being around contacts who are not systematic. there's nothing about the case that challenges the premise of silence. it's important while this is bad news, it should not bring about panic. we have a strategy. i'll go over the strategy and the mayor will go over the strategy to keep the community safe and secure. the dwellings and belonging. first, the doctor will give us pertinent information pursuant to him and the wishes of this

family, as much pertinent information as he can share. dr vago. >> thank you, judge. late last saturday evening, a preliminary blood test from a caregiver at presbyterian clinic dallas proved positive for ebola. the health care worker had been under the self-monitoring regiment prescribed by the c.d.c. and based on caring for the patient thomas eric duncan, his care, that started on september 28th. individuals who are monitored are required to take temperatures twice daily. as a result the caregiver notified the hospital of imminent arrival and was admitted to the isolation rool. the process from the self-monitoring to the admission into isolation took 90 minutes.

a close contact has been proactivity placement in isolation. the caregiver requested privacy. we can't discuss details. amongst those no contact with mr duncan, thecm of monitoring was established to protect those that cared from thomas eric duncan, and the community at large, by identifying early cases and getting them into treatment. finally, we have put the emergency department at presbyterian on diversion until further notice. ambulances are not currently bringing patients to our emergency department. while we are on emergency department, we care for the patient and use the time to

triple-check c.d.c. guidelines. we are monitoring all staff with relation to mr duncan's care, ooep if they are not -- even if they are not assumed to be at risk of infection all steps are taken so the public and employees can have confidence in the integrity of the care we provide at our facility. thank you. >> as an added step, in consultation with the c.d.c., the c.d.c. will be working with presbyterian to monitor all the people in the self-monitor pool as we are monitoring the 48 people in the monitor pool. so the people that are - that

were self-monitoring, all of them are health care professionals. they will now be monitored twice daily by epidemiologist and interviewed today by c.d.c. epidemiologist. we are. it is increasing workload for the c.d.c. epidemiology team. it has 19 people, epidemiologists and disease detectives on the ground. requesting additional enny teen and diseases resources at midnight last night, and they, i believe has arrived at a meeting with dr kuhar in another room. the c.d.c. is not here as the pc. they are busy working and we are

about to leave and give back to the eoc. the pcr test has not been confirmed by the c.d.c. their lab and a double test. but that - we are confident that it will be. and that is what necessitate the dates release. >> the tate is not with us. they are actively working. there's much to do right now, and they are working to keep you safe. the monitoring will continue. the 48 that we've been monitoring. we will be working with health and human services, the c.d.c., and our state partners and

presbyterian. to make sure all necessary roto coles are put into place. here is mayor mike recallages. >> citizens of dals will be safe. what protective measures we have taken to ensure the safety. >> the dallas hazmat team have - has cleaned up the common areas and decontaminate open areas of the apartment complex of the

3700 block of markita. they sprayed a clean up agent and right now police are standing by to make sure no one enters that apartment complex. further more we have knocked on every door na that block, and talked to every single person that came to the door. explained what has happened. and what we have done. so that le not be afraid of the hazmat unit. the police officer ensuring that no one will enter the apartment. later this morning, we were also - we would go back and knock on every door of that

neighbourhood to make sure that there any questions and we catch anyone. at 7:15. a 911 call was sent out to the four blocks around the apartment complex, and we left printed material at each door so there were any questions, folks should call 311, and if anyone feels sick or needs paramedics, they should call 911. we have a report that there may be a pet inside the apartment. and we have a plan in place to take care of the pet and we do not believe that het has a sign and will move accordingly later today. at the same time, we have moved

our fire and rescue hazmat unit over here to presbyterian hospital, where we decontaminated the car that the patient grove in, and secured it so nobody could come in contact with the car. we decontaminated handrailings, everything in the parking lot, so everybody can feel comfortable that the exterior was taken care of. we have a plan in place to send hazmat units into the apartment. and clean up the interior later today. i want to say once again that we had this plan in place last week, so when we got this phone

call, which we thought we might get. we but an action team in place, and they have been working this eeng so as people are waking up, they know that they are safe. there is much work to be done, yet. but we wanted to make sure you knew instant information from us as soon as you woke up and as you know, we'll stay in contact with you, but we'll let c.d.c. test this specimen and make some comments, and then we'll get back to you. until then, the judge and i have a lot of work to do. we'll leave you with the good doctor. >> we have time for two or three questions for dr varga. >> reporter: did this worker - is this health care worker someone that works at presbyterian hospital, did the

person come into contact with thomas eric duncan on the first easement r visit or when he was -- e.r. visit or when he was brought ambulatory the second time, and what sort of contact did this worker have, whether with blood or vomit? >> i can't speak to the type of contact. this is a worker involved in the care of the second visit. >> reporter: second visit. >> yes. >> reporter: was it someone considered part of the high-risk pool. >> no. >> reporter: was it in the lower risk pool? >> yes. >> reporter: what have you changed - what have you done to protect other health workers who during the second visit, i think there was an indication early on that there may within an ebola -- may have been an ebola case here. what have you done to make sure other workers are safe, and if you can talk about specific measures you have taken. >> so all of our workers are

following c.d.c. recommended precautions, and to be more specific than that would be speculating. all the workers are following c.d.c. prescribed precautions, when they interact with the ebola patients. >> reporter: can you say if this person was wearing protected gear. >> they were. >> reporter: they were. >> they were. >> reporter: was this a medical provi provider? >> healthcare workers privacy, i will not go into further detail than we have. >> reporter: going further on unprotected - gloves, masks gs, what other gear was the person wearing. >> this individual was following full c.d.c. precautions, barrier and droplet.

goup, mask, shield. >> reporter: how disturbing that even after those precautions that person still contracted the disease. >> we are very concerned. >> reporter: how do you assure people that it has to be scary for workers following the guide lines to get infected. how do you assure people they can be parliamentary secretaried. >> we are confident the precautions will protect our workers, we don't have an analysis of all of the care, we are going through that to understand specific elements of who came in contact about mr duncan, we are confident that the precautions we have in place will protect our workers? a. >> reporter: has the health care worker been out and about?

>> the health care worker has been doing self monitoring and did not work in the last few days. >> reporter: how many of the contacts did thomas eric duncan have during self monitoring, and do you have a number of contacts that you are tracing for this patient? >> i can't given you the full details of all of the contacts. texas health resources and texas health presbyterian dallas are tracking 18 employees. >> when did you learn this was happening and what happened from then until new? >> i can't go into specific detail on the time line because of the protected nature of that. i would reiterate in this swaying -- situation, from the time of kak to the time that the patient entered full isolation

emergency department was less than 90 minutes. >> reporter: you said low rick, that means one in 48. >> yes. >> this person was one of the 48? >> i want speak to whether or not the patient falls into the what the judge mentioned of the 48. texas health resources have been monitoring 18 patients. >> reporter: is part of the hospital quarantined or closed off because of this. >> no, but to be clear, you'll recall from mr duncan's care, that the area used for inpatient care is, i believe, a 24-bed i.c.u. that we cordoned off, and isolating to use as the isolation unit for inpatient care. >> what is your role?

i'm the chief clinical officer for health resources. >> reporter: is the patient being given treatment for the virus. >> we'll post on the website and sent them out. right now i have to take dr varga to another music you are watching a live news conference in dallas, recording the second case of ebola. when we return to al jazeera america, we'll have more on the breaking news story and speak with dr celine gownder about the specifics of this case that we heard, coming up next on al jazeera america.

>> the patient's decision is stable. a close contact has been placed in isolation. the caregiver and family as stated requested privacy so we can't discuss details of the situation. >> you've been listening to a live news commons from texas presbytarian in dallas, a second person diagnosed with the deadly ebola virus here on american soil. dr celine is here with us in new york. give the viewers at home specifics regarding the worker. an employee of texas health involved in the care of dr duncan, as he was admitted.

he was under self monitoring environment. advised the hospital once becoming systematic. place in isolation, personal contact of this person placed in isolation. and they are tracking 18 more. an interesting thing we heard from dr varga is that this person was wearing full protective gear when caring for thomas eric duncan, but nonetheless contracted the virus anyway. how is that possible. >> taking off the protective gear is the point of time, point of contact where you are at most high risk for attracting ebola. you are taking off gowns, gloves, et cetera, contaminated with bodily fluids. the leading experts are the doctors without borders, and they have a buddy system, where someone watches you tag things

off. they -- you take things off. they have a count town, to stop, take a break, making sure you don't rush. it's important that health care workers are trained in putting it op, but such that when you take it off you are not contall nating yourself -- contaminating yourself. they need to be trained to take it off. it's an important part of the training there were two pools of people mon stored. a high and low risk. this came from the lower risk pool. what does that tell you about the possibility that someone else could contract it. >> they could be considered lower risk when they came into contact with duncan. there's a reason we use the concentric approach of the direct contacts, indirect contacts. low risk, high risk.

to make sure we capture anyone with possible exposure. >> the hospital, the emergency room is under diversion, what does that mean. >> if you call for an ambulance in that area. it will not take you to texas health presbytarian hospital. you'll be transported to another hospital. it's so texas health can reduce the chance of being exposed. >> again, a second case of ebola has been dig most from texas presbytarian. tomorrow morning on al jazeera america, we'll have more on the breaking news out of dallas. live reports from the scene, coming up tomorrow on "al

jazeera america". that will do it for this hour in new york. thank you for watching. stay tuned to the website.
