6:03 pm
they leave or arrive. >> the white house agrees and says a ban will make the probable worse. >> if we were to put in place a travel ban tor a visa ban, it would provide a direct incentive for individuals seeking to travel to go underground. and to seek to evade this screening and not be candid abouten their travel history in order to enter the country. >> for the second day in a row, president obama canceled an out of town trip to raise money for democrats. instead staying at the white house, mr. obama is also sending more personnel, a yet unannounced number of military engineers to help build hospitals. tony the situation where almost 4500 individuals have succumbed to ebola barely came up at that hearing except for one with congressman who said let's put this in pertive, we have had
6:04 pm
three cases, 4500 cases in west africa, now is not the time to panic. involved in today's hearing, we will put you in the room, kentucky congressman just a few minutes away here, as we mentioned a number of people. freeden has been director of the c.d.c., before that he served as commissioner of the new york city health department where he launched the first nation paid anti-campaign. a special facileny in maryland, now the melissa chen.
6:05 pm
are being treated right now. >> eh did this ahead of her big move. >> texas presbyterian hospital will no longer treat the first nurse in dallas to contract the disease. this evening we will be admitted to the clinical studies unit, nina otherwise known as nurse number one. she will be coming to the national institute of health, where we with will be supplying her
6:06 pm
with with state of the art care in our high level containment facilities. all of this suggest as vote of no confidence on how texas health has handled ebola, and a cdc is also under scrutiny for the lack of coordination and guidance on thursday they apologized for mistakes but still faced tough questions during a congressional hearing. where the specific breeches and protocol were that resulted in her infection orb alternatively, the inadequacy of the protocol. >> we with don't know at this particular juncture. what the source or the caw of the exposure that caused nina to contract the disease. >> the dispute between on sight nurses and the hospital is growing with
6:07 pm
with nurses saying nothing one knew what the protocols were or what kind of protective gear should be worn. adding that they felt unsupported unprepared and lied too. but dallas shot back. be interactions with with clinical care givers a hospital follows centers of disease control, and sought additional guidance and clarity. none of this is likely to ease fears of people here. we have learned that she has just left the facility here, and is on rout one of the reasons, and they say it is because in the last 24 hours the hospital did offer the nurses and doctors who treated thomas duncan, the option of self-quarantine, and because of that they have had a shortage of staff that can deal with in the ink stance of yet another
6:08 pm
patient with suspected ebola symptoms. tony. >> okay. now several schools closed today, after officials learned two students traveled on the same flight as amber vincent. the second nurse infectenned those students were on the frontier airline flight monday they will now stay home and have their health monitors. cleveland ohio also closed two of it's schools because a distribute employee may have taken a later flight on the same plane as vincent. those buildings will also be disinfected seven people where she traveled are being quarantined voluntarily. now the spread of ebola is rampant, in west africa, that is the bleak assessment of the world health organization. seven new cases are being reported every day, erica wood has more.
6:09 pm
many patients almost know nothing about the virus, they often go into the rooms of others once medical workers have left, which greatly challenges our attempts to control the virus. >> the world health organization is now using the word rampant to describe the spread of ebola these are the three worst effected nations. almost 4 1/2 thousand people died from the outbreak since the start of the year, but with fear and stigma, many are being hidden away by scared relatives. the real death toll is likely to been much higher. and the medical charity says it needs help to carry on. >> we have been seeing that very clearly, that we with have reached our limit, that's why what we still a bit astonished is
6:10 pm
the very slow and weak capacity. including military organizations actors like who, like united nations, and so on. they are deploying as we speak, but we still don't see the result. >> the w helicopterso agrees that major short fall in supplies and it's latest report says liberia needs almost 3,000 beds to treat patients. but only had 620. givenny needs 260. and sierra leyon needs around 1,200, but right now it only has a quarter of that. people are left to die at home, where they can spread the virus. >> supplies are coming in from the international community, but it's still not enough. the w. h.o. has predicted the number of new cases is likely to increase
6:11 pm
from 1,000, to up to 10,000 each week by december. and says the world needs to act now or suffer the consequences later. cutterrish fighters say air strikes are helping there have been more than 40 strikes in and around the syrian border town, but the focus is costing territory in iraq. there have only been six air strikes there and there are fears they will take advantage of the attention, reports now from back dad. >> there's real concern here that the coalition air strikes are being concentrated in syria, and not in iraq, and that's allowing them to advance further. they already hold the towns also parts of the larger cities. but now isil's advance is being concentrated on the town.
6:12 pm
and and south of the country, if that town falls and gets taken over, it gives isil a base to be able to attack, of particular concern are the gray neighborhoods and the airports. now, if the airports is attacked lit have a massive impact on commercial traffic going into this country, also it will have the effect of scaring the residents. so what they are daying they say they are in control, they have the baghdad belt, which they have reenforced they say that area that surrounding it won't be able to be breeched by fighters, however, because of these air strikings being concentrated in syria, many people are wondering when the coalition will take seriously the iraqi dend mas for having much more close supports to follow troops into clear areas, and also some sunni politician are now saying the only way we will win is if they are international boots on the ground in places like
6:13 pm
am bar province the u.s. has said it is not astro teenicly important mission but the number of strikes seems to contradict that, so today the administration attempted to clarify it. >> there has been no strategic shift here. this is an important point, in syria we are trying to deny safe haven. they want safe haven we are trying to help not let that happen. four out of five temporary seats were voted on today. on goal la and new zealand will hold
6:14 pm
nonpermanent seats for the next two years, turkey has been campaigns fiercely, the 15 member security council decides whether the u.n. will take military financial or humanitarian action to address crisis across the globen. police are apparently looking to put an end to pro democracy protests. you are looking now at live pictures from hong kong, early hours of the morning there, the latest action comes as the head of the government says he will try again to talk with student protestors. he remained defiant but bruised. prizes and cuts on his face and body, when he
6:15 pm
was handcuffed and beaten by at least six plain clothed officers during scuffles the previous night, he is now taking legal action against the police. >> i have already been assaulted and was later assaulted yet again. >> p rob lamb was born in hong kong but now lives in canada. he and his wife brenda have flown home to show their support.
6:16 pm
the most constructive thing is to sit down and work together, within the frame work decision. >> these talks are expected to be held next week,en with with university chancellors appointed as the mediators in these negotiations. now and labor department said they applied for jobben less benefits last week, that is the lowest number since april of 2000, but it is worth noting those numbers do
6:17 pm
not include people who were already unemployed. >> wall street had another bumty day. down at six straight day of losses real money is here to give us some context on -- alley, what is going on? >> dean, i i got up this morning i was ready for another crazy day, and it delivers. the dow was down, at one with point, and that's kind of been the pattern, we have seen the big losses and then they accelerate, yesterday it came back a little bit, hey, today, the dow ended up about 24 points lower, the nasdaq actually closed in positive territory. you know, tony, yesterday when the dough closed. it had been 460 points lower, so we were relieved with 174-point loss. so this is this is the new reality, i was
6:18 pm
telling you the s&p 500 had hit an all time high. so what a ride. >> is there a silver lining i know that means that maybe this is the moment to get in, because stocks are cheaper, is that part of the silver lining. >> it could be, if you believe that the stock market will recover, and look, over history and time it has. there's an opportunity to buy, take a look at airline stocks. the major airline since the ebola scare are down 20%, maybe an opportunity there, but there are rah couple of other things. there's this thing called the flight to safety, when stocks with doing poorly. >> now the effect is the price of the bond goes up and the interest rate comes down, now you can lock into a mortgage, 30 year fixes mortgage, under $417,000 if you have good credit, people are getting loans for 3.5%, so that's a silver
6:19 pm
lining. you have seen gas prices come down, isn't entirely related to this. there are a couple of silver linings. >> you looken at the big show tonight. >> we have a lot of stuff going on, including what a lot of older people are doing in retirement, how to keep going, when you don't have enough money to retire, so it is worth looking at. yeah, faster you than me. coming up, bermuda and hawaii both racing for big storms. some major damage is likely, plus, the new study that suggests lawmaker whose support voter i.d. laws may be based against latinos. and how a small fan nearly derailed a debate in florida, you will not believe this, that is
6:20 pm
coming up in power politics with david schuster.
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
bermuda is racing. boarding up wind with does that's smart. leaving before the airport closes. probably smarter, it comes just days after tropical storm fay knockens out power, kevin is here with a look at more on the track and the potential damage. >> i don't think we will see more casualties it is going to be damage because this is a very strong storm. you are looking right now at a visible slight image of the storm, this is gonzales as it makes it's way to bermuda. one with thing that has been very consistent has been the track. it has been keeping the track just barely to the west, what that does is it puts bermuda in the strongest side of the storm now we with have seen the intensity go back and forth, but the winds 144 miles per hour, gusting to over one with 70, by the time it gets
6:23 pm
to bermuda, it will come down a little bit. we are talking about over six inches of rain, extremely strong across that area, the storm surge, well over 15 to 20 feet. as well with as the shore of bermuda will be effected very haley in this area, i expect the sew quite a bit of damage coming in. appreciate it, voter i.d. laws are a big issue at the midterm elections near, advocates say they prevent volter fraud, but critics say it stops minorities from going to the polls. some lawmakers that support those laws may be biases against latinos. >> tony, researchers at the university of southern california wanted to see how based some legislatures may be. so they wanted to see if they would respond from
6:24 pm
an email named jacob, or a man named santiago, what they found was there are differences between democrats and republicans but an even bigger gap existed between republicans themselves whether they supported voter i.d. laws. >> possibility tiggs. >> what has been studied less, is if elected officials in the united states may have these biases. >> they contacted nearly 2,000 legislatures in 14 states all with large populations. the researchers sent an email, asking whether a dahl is required to vote, some got this in english, signed by an imaginary constituent. others got the same email, signed by a man names santiago rodriguez.
6:25 pm
then the researchers hit send, and waited for the responses. >> democratic legislatures responded about the same to both names. but republicans were more than twice as likely to respond to jacob than santiago. there was also a big difference among republicans themselves. republicans supporting voter i.d. laws were more than twice as likely to respond to jacob than to santiago, for republicans that did not support those, the margin was much smaller. >> we with did anticipate the supporters would respond more to the white constituent with than the latino. what surprised me was with the size of the effect. the difference is so huge, and those that do not support voter i.d. that was surprising to me. >> none of the republican legislatures supporter voter i.d. supported to those, about 15% of democrats did.
6:26 pm
the researchers concluded that some politician are based, unconscious or not, and they did not share their names with them. >> i need to drill down on the notes from that. a keynote address was with read at a media award ceremony today. our colleague delivered the speech at the front line club. now peter dictated the speech to his family during priorities visits. he addressed the threats journalists face around the world. >> at apeshit level, our incarceration, are more crucial and more crucially the foley and the murders have reminded people why a free and unchanneled press is so important people may not always like everything they see in the media, but they recognize the value of ethical, professional reporting
6:27 pm
and instinctively of anything administered. along with colleagues, have been imprisoned in egypt for 292 days now. they were falsely convicted in june in aiding the muslim brotherhood. lawmakers quizzing health officials we will hear more from one of the congressman as today's hearing on capitol hill. >> it is salmon verses people, fish jobs verses mining job, the legislature verses state agencies. all of the government lurking in the background, where people will vote on a statewide ballot measure that could be worth $500 million that story just ahead.
6:28 pm
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
a co ten, hearing in washington as they took health leaders to task of their handling of the ebola virus. cdc director is one of several health directors despite the spread of the disease so two nurses in dallas. he is confident the system can prevent a outbreak. he admitted the lack of a test makes it more difficult. >> is there any other kind of test that would indicate whether anything is going on in the body? i know that sometimes my doctor will say you have an elevated white blood cell count, something is going on there, is that true of ebola? would that not indate something is going on? >> at this point we with don't have a test that would identify before someone has symptoms. the research is underway on a test, and our deep dive tonight, i spoke with democratic congressman from kentucky, he attended the ebola hearing today, and i asked him what he
6:31 pm
thought of dr. freeden's testimony. >> well, i think a lot of what he said made perfect sense, and i have total confidence that he is doing the best he can. i think we are dealing with someone uncharted territory, and things like the question whether we should restrict travel or not, i kind of -- i got his rational but then again, i am not so sure we out not consider some kind of restriction on travel. but again, i think i need more information. i think the committee did, but i have confidence. i think he knows what he is doing. >> so congressman, give me your sense, what do you think there should be something done? maybe you are not fully informed on what that should be, but something done on travel? >> well, he said, the rational makes total sense the way it is set up they have total control, they can screen
6:32 pm
them, take their temperature, they have their information, contact information, so they can track them when they are in the united states, and he is worried that if we ban travel, then they will circumvent the airline and come in through land or other ways. i just wonder whether people would go out of their way to do that. i seems to me most people will come into the country, not to infect somebodien else, but they are coming in because they are like mr. duncan, they have family here, and wanted to see them. +o i guess whether there's that threat with ebola. that would be my reservation about what he said. >> okay, so what are your thoughts on the call? i won't suggest they have been widespread for mr. -- for him to resign, what are your thoughts on that? what is your reaction? >> what happened here was clearly we rely on a lot of people on the ground,
6:33 pm
carrying out the guidance of the c.d.c., and they do not have authority, they are providing guidance. so i think obviously in texas something fell through the cracks unfortunately, two people were infected. but i don't think that necessarily goes to the competence of the doctor. i think he is indicated a willingness to listen to any ideas and certainly taken pretty strong action recently. >> you continue to have face and confidence in his births to lead this effort. >> i do. one thing that i'm a little bit concerned about is we have -- and i spoke with h.h.s. secretary today, abouten this, we have so many agencies involved in this effort, from border patrol, to the department of defense, to h.h.s., to the food and drug administration, and so there's a lot of coordination going on, and while the cdc sort of has a lead hole, it doesn't really have a
6:34 pm
statutory lead hole that's one with thing i asked whether there was legislative authority that he needed that would help him be more effective. >> so what are your understanding now? after the hearing of what happened in the duncan case in dallas? was the staff working with bad maybe outdated c.d.c. protocols? because we have been hearing the protocols were, are, different from the protocols being used by doctors without borders overseas in africa, or were the proper protocols poorly carried out. >> well, it was pretty interesting when you listen to dr. varga, who is the doctor from dallas that they are not quite sure where in the process the two nurses were exposed. there seems to be some gaps in time, and an understanding of exactly
6:35 pm
what they were doing at every molt. they are trying to piece that all together. so i think it is still too early to tell. >> what do you want to see from the c.d.c. moving forward? looks like this idea of sending inning the swat teams to take over care that seems like a step in the right direction. >> yeah, i think that makes great sense. they are the only organization that has the expertise so i think that makes perfect sense, and again, it seems like all the agencies are talking to each other. she was focusing on was with to make sure that all these different connections are made very efficiently, and seem leslie so i think they are committed to getting it right, and i think maybe possibly beefing up the kind of specialty hospital capacity we with have, if they are four regional hospitals that can handle this like n.i.h., and now maybe we need eight or ten or a
6:36 pm
dozen. >> so and head of the transportation security administration is retiring. he says he will step down at the end of the year, he has been the tsa chief for 4 1/2 years now. >> in today's power politics 19 days until the mid terms elections and charging of hypocrisy are flying in a race that may determine which party takes control of the chamber, david schuster is here with with this, david. >> the kentucky senate ration has been amazing for months. and it continues to been that way, if republican incumbent wins re-election in the gop takes control, mcconnell will become the next senate majority leader. he has been trying to portrait his challenger as an obama clone, this could be a big concern for kentucky voters and so grimes has refused to say, if she voted for obama. and she today firm this week at a debate.
6:37 pm
gone, every kentuckian has the right for privacy at the ballot box. dodging willing she voted for president obama. >> kentuckians expect her to cast a tough vote on anything. >> that's a tough ad, the problem for mcconnell, is that he is refusing to answer certain questions that may have a greater bearing on the lives of kentucky voters. senator mcconnell has refused to take an issue on the tax credit, whether climate change is real, or whether kentucky's obama-care program, should continue. you would support the continuation of connect? >> well with, it is a state decision. >> would you support it. >> that's fine, yeah, i think it is fine to have
6:38 pm
a webben site yeah. >> well with, it is also ensured 521,000. >> no, it hasn't. >> 85,000 of them are in the private market, what do you do with them? >> he wouldn't say. polls indicate that he has a slight lead. kentucky's other senate, rand paul republican is increasingly in demand to help embattled candidates across the country. it bother evers me that kay taken doesn't think you are smart enough to choose your doctor. >> north carolina another race that will be awfully close. finally, the political world with is still in just disbelief over one of the strangest debate moments. it happened last night,
6:39 pm
democrat challenger took the stage by himself. that's because for several minutes he refused to join him there, here is the debate monitor. >> has asked to have a fan, a small fan placed underneath his podium. >> that there should be no fan, somehow there is a fan there, and for that reason ladies and gentlemen, i am being told that governor scott -- really. >> will not join us before this debate. kris began to rid qume his absence, and then a debate monitor tries to stop him, and tried to ask the former governor whether he had been violated rules. >> governor crist, do the rules of the debate say there should be no fan. >> not that i am aware of. >> so the rules that the scott campaign just
6:40 pm
showed us, that says that no electronics can be used -- >> are we really going to debate about a fan, or education, and the environment, and the future of our state? i mean really. the applause seemed to be enough for rick scott, because about 30 seconds later he headed towards the stage, one of the first questions of the debate is back to charlie crist, and there was an opportunity for governor scott to respond, here it is, and again, watch scott's response on fan gate. why did you insist on bringing a fan here, when you campaign knew this would be a contentious issue? >> why not. is there anything wrong with with being comfortable. governor scott, why the delay coming out over a
6:41 pm
fan. >> he said he wasn't going to come -- he said he wasn't going to come to the debate, so why come out until he is ready. >> is if you can't answer the question, if you fumble that one, as governor scott did, according to republicans your campaign is in deep trouble. and that is today's deep politics. that is pretty amazing stuff, david, thank you. al jazeera america is traveling to key battleground states. a lethal battle could have an impact on close races in the last frontier. the pebble mine could be as deep as the grand canyon according to the environmental protect actionsy, the entire operation would with cover abarea of the size of manhattan.
6:42 pm
the stakes are huge, there could be $500 billion worth of gold and copper here. 70 miles downstream is the fishing port, something of a ghost town this time of year. in a town where the mine is not popular, especially among native alaska tribes. in here is what is called the last frontier, federal meddling is even more frowned upon than in the lower 48. alaskas are pretty well known for their independence, asking outsiders for help, not exactly their style, but in the case of a pebble mine, that's what six local tribes did, reaching out to the federal government, and the environmental protection agency. some folks say federal government you stay out of my backyard, but rat the same time we with need to fix our harbor,
6:43 pm

6:44 pm
e.p.a's authority to act. that lawsuit was thrown out by developers promised the legal fight will continue. even if the agency stops the act. complicated things in the midterm elections tommy and all alaskaian face a ballot measure that would give the legislature the final say on the project. possibly neutralizing epa action on this and future mine proposals in the area. you can see more of his reporting tonight, again at 11:30 here on al jazeera america. other stories happening across america today, let's get you to iness. >> dozens of people injured after a freight train collided with a site seeing train in arkansas. it is still not clear what caused the accident, the collision left around 300 gallons of oil leaking fromming the trains. at least 44 passengers
