this reclusive nags. -- nation. tonight - america's response to ebola, and a city waits to breathe a sigh of relief. here is the latest. president obama held a meeting earlier tonight to discuss the government's response to ebola. on the agenda increased preparations for health care workers, with three confirmed cases here in the u.s., including one death. the centers for disease control say it will release new guidelines for hospitals dealing with potential patients. a dallas official says that city is two day's away from reaching the end of a critical time train. monday marks 12 days since the passing of ebola victim thomas eric duncan. at that time the likelihood of those coming into contact with thomas eric duncan drops dramatically. for more we go to melissa chan.

>> dallas hopes it will be ebola free, and the 21 day quarantine period for the family and relatives of thomas eric duncan that passed away. that deadline is coming up. the first four of the duncan relatives, sunday midnight local time are due out and in the clear. it's unlikely that ebola will disappear from the united states. there may be another case in the country, and hospitals across the country are preparing in their own ways. we take a closer look. >> reporter: when it comes to training on how to handle ebola patients, parkland memorial training is ready. >> you shouldn't start when it gets there, you need your programme in place before. >> that's what texas presbyterian thought. it, too, had provided training in infectious diseases, inclu including ebola.

the hospital admits mistakes were made but hadn't received enough guidance from center for disease control. now, with lessons learnt, hospitals are sharing preparedness. this hospital reached out for advice. >> all along we have had a little higher standard than what the c.d.c. recommend the - full body, full skin covering. >> practice makes perfect. the hospital trains a special team, but how to take it off. anything that goes in to isolation can't come out. >> this is a private room, but it's also a negative pressure isolation room. so air does not leave the room. it does not get exchanged with other parts of the emergency department. at the rush university medical center, they are training 3,000 to 4,000 employees. each hospital sets its own guidelines, here, unlike at

stanford, health care workers are using duct tape to close gaps. without a system, each hospital makes up its own rules, the c.d.c. provides recommendations. >> everyone in the country that may be called to care for a patient is clamoring for information not only from the centers, but from the presbyterian hospital that has a lot of information over the last 2.5 weeks, that it can share with us. >> new information and integrating procedures requires training and that takes time, time no hospital has if another ebola patient appears tomorrow. to explain about the time issue, hospitals said that they have trained and prepared nurses and doctors. much of that time it's referring to a workshop or a few seminars. some is voluntary. experts say it's not enough if you want to combat ebola.

you need intensive tripping, 4-6 weeks on that. think about firefighters, and the way they drill. it's something that hospitals cannot do. it is going to be a major challenge on your hospitals across the country. >> melissa chan in dallas. a memorial service was held for dunk, the ebola -- thomas eric duncan, the liberian man that died. family members recalled duncan's loving heard and kind spirit. >> if you didn't have anything, and you didn't care about money, he cared about the humanity. >> duncan contracted the deadly virus after travelling to liberia, he died october 8th. health officials in ohio are monitoring more than 100 people for ebola infections. many are identified of

passengers who flew with amber vincent. one of two nurses. her father is quarantined eened in his home. he's the only person in ohio that has been quarantined. >> the world bank president says the international community is losing the battle against ebola, blaming a lack of support across the globe. dominic kane has more. >> it has killed thousands across west africa, and devastated families and communities. more and more countries instituted travel bans on people. in his weekly address on saturday, the u.s. president repeated why he believes that that is not the answer. >> we can't cut ourselves off from west africa where the disease is raging. our medical experts tell us the best way to stop the disease is to stop it at its source, before it spreads wider and becomes more difficult to change.

trying to screen off a region of the world if that was possible could make the situations worse. >> reporter: others say the international community may not be able to provide another resources. >>: >> reporter: >> reporter: that fire is intense in guinea, liberia and sierra leone. aid agencies say their most urgent need is not money, but extra people. >> other wellbeing philanthropies, from organizations that would come in to help. >> one of the less publicised impacts of ebola is on the younger generations. u.n.i.c.e.f. says thousands have been orphaned by the virus. it believes the psychological effect will last a lodge time.

>> children are distressed from seeing things that adults find difficult to under. people in astronaut suits coming to take sick people away, or their parents. >> the international communities fight against ebola, and has been strengthened with aid. at the rate the virus is spreading, some believe the global response may not be able to keep up. >> canadian officials are sending an experimental ebola vaccine to west africa. the government says it's been working on the drug for years, has never been tested on humans, but has shown promise on test with animals. 800 phials will be sent on monday. in three shipments. in syria, the u.s. coalition launched air strikes on kobane. for more than a month kurdish

forces engaged in a back and forth struggle. the group manages to hold on. bernard smith has the latest from the turkey-syria border. >> the pace of the u.s.-led coalition air strikes over kobane slowed in recent days. but on saturday afternoon a reminder that mighter sets are circling the town. the clapping is from kurds, who have been watching the battle as it ebbed and flowed over the past weeks. from a mood of despair that kobane would fall, to hope that fighters would be forced to retreat. on a hilltop, kurdish fighters found time to dance, an indication of their hospital mix. i.s.i.l. is there. the border area sustained heavy shelling. some of the mortars landed on

turkish soil, enough that they set up a tube should it need to take defensive measures. across syria and iraq, this is the only place where the u.s.-led campaign against i.s.i.l. is played out real time in front of a local and international audience. what happened to kobane has taken on importance for i.s.i.l., and the united states slaen journalist james foley would have turned 31. he was kidnapped and beheaded by i.s.i.l. his family celebrated in rochester new york. more than 100 attended the ceremony. his brother remembered him as a giving man. >> jim was different to most people. he had a combination of factors that you don't find if others.

>> a legacy fund has been created in his memory, supporting journalists in conflict zone. >> a u.n. led initiative in libya has been anaunsed in the hope of stopping the fighting in tripoli to provide aid. in the eastern city, a renegade general continues his assault on splinter militia groups. 40 have been killed in four days. >> these gunshots in libya are enigmatic of conflict. these are the latest battle front in the person r western towns. a renegade general is pushing its forces between tripoli and zinc dane. and is trying to take control from dawn of libya. civilians unwhitingly caught in the conflict are suffering, and

supplies are running out. the u.n. is calling for calm. a statement says the support mission is proposing a cessation of the military operations, investing in libya for four days to facilitate humanitarian sentence. four months, and parliament tried to gape legitimacy. the efforts to bring the sides to negotiate don't seem to be working. attacks intensify after the chief's visit to tripoli. >> it's clear that the community, and others that involved themselves don't support a negotiated settlement at this point. >> we realise there's a lot of mileage in the conflict and the war and violence to come. having said that, this only came in in negotiating a settlement. >> egypt and the ua have been accused of providing military support, but no control on the

ground. tobruk based prime minister is calling for more weapons and logistical help. that's what the people who bring down the government are opposing. the prime minister has condemned international intervention. anti-aircraft guns fired volleys after military jets controlled and bombed the city. >> it's been thing as a nice stand, declaring what he calls terrorists. fighters like those, a group labelled terrorists by the u.s. duck their heels, and with each burst of bullets like these, hopes of piece fade in the distance. >> now to hong kong where the situation is tense, you are looking at a live picture from

an intersection where pro-democracy protesters are camping out. >> it's a little after 11 in the morning. the weekend started out with word that peaceful leaders are ready to resume talks. violence broke out again. more from divya gopalan. >> well there are tense scenes in mongkok as police protect the intersection. the protesters thrown out with ease. there were clashes and it was threatening to repeat itself again. police and protesters are standing off. seems like there's more protesters and police. it's difficult to take actions. this, of course, comes after student leaders agree to talk to the governments. talks take place on tuesday. they'll ask the government for suggestions how to progress with democratic reforms in hong kong.

but the government has proposed a mediator, a professor known to be pro-beijing and close to the chief executive. it will be difficult to tell whether the students will agree to them. >> divya gopalan in hong kong. >> today british ops reversed its per -- bishops reversed its pe essential on gays. they moved for the church to be more inclusive. on a vote highlighting divisions. they rejected proposals, a two thirds majority was needed. >> translation: i think talking of these issues the church should embrace people first of all. the church should be ready to listen to people, see people, and should be ready to understand the changes happening in society. on the other hand the church has its own identity, keeps its own

message and own vision. >> a proposal over whether divorced and remarried catholics can receive communion did not pass. >> issues will be discussed during the coming year, espelyyear, especially the issue of how to deal with people who have been divorced and remarried. the document doesn't resolve it, it says that some bishops said one thing, otherses something else, we'll have a conversation in the church about the issues, and then we'll find out what the senate says next year. >> pope francis says the full document along with the tally of the votes will be published. >> tonight there may be new clues in the case of a missing college student anna graham. human remains have been found, that could be those of university virginia sophomore. additional tests are needed. thousands of volunteers have been searching for gram.

police arrested and charged 32-year-old jessie leroy matthew with her abduction. midterm elections are two weeks away. in texas, many will not be able to vote, after the u.s. supreme court upheld the voter i.d. law. it rears a state-issue -- requires a state-issued id. 6,000 voters do not have the identification. voting begins on monday. tup in tomorrow night -- tune in form for the sunday segment "the week ahead", when we look at voter i.d. concerns, and how the nation's highest court ruled for and against the controversial election laws. that's tomorrow alt 8:30 -- at 8:30p.m. . >> still ahead on this hour of al jazeera america, an exclusive look at life inside north korea, from the military to the food crisis. we take a deeper look next.

>> it's been part of the president's agenda since before he was elected, but the controversial prison remains open.

tonight we take a deeper look at north korea, one of the most isolated nations in the world. after being out of the public arena for some time, the country's leader made his second appearance of the week on friday. his absence created much speculation about his health and his hold on power. a few days ago north and south korea held their first high level military talks in seven years. al jazeera correspondent was granted access to the joint security area on the north side of the border. we start with that report. >> reporter: on the road, a 2 hour drive along an empty road is one of the last vestiges of the cold war. >> we are heading to the border.

it's one of the most heavily fortified border areas in the world. we passed three checkpoints but were not allowed to film. we came to meet a ltcol of the korean people's army, and he gives a version of why there has been an exchange of fire at the border. >> translation: it's time to lift the atmosphere of the reunification. it shows that it's against reunification and wants to lead to a war. >> on wednesday, north and south korea met for the fourth time to discuss military issues across the border. it made clear that we can only film what we are told to. this is the front line in a conflict. >> that side is the u.s. and south korea. and all of this is north korea.

there are other south korean dogs wearing their helmets on the opposite side. >> north korean soldiers face off against enemies. south korea and its allies, the united states. this is the closest we get to south korea, it's there in front. you can see tourists on the other side. we were supposed to go in the blue building controlled by the united states, but the doors are closed. >> the ltcol says there's 40,000 troops on the other side, and 1,000 nuclear weapons, the u.s. had 30,000 troops deployed in the peninsula, and there haven't been nuclear weapons in the south. the west is saying north korea needs to dismantle their programs, what will it take? >> we will only give up our nuclear weapons when the countries that threaten us give up their's. once theirs disappear, so will ours. >> while the last few days have seen a new possibility of

dialogue, it's the nuclear question that continues to keep north korea isolated and under sanctions. >> analysts in seoul grey. it's unlikely the north will dismantle its programme soon. >> the powers - the international society. the reason why north koreans will be shouting loud about war. that's the only way that kim jong un can rule the society. >> reporter: the latest military talks are a step forward. the road to a formal petitions here is long. >> we'll target those that provide a base or send military assistance to the u.s., japan and south korea, to ipp vade our country. we'll -- invade our country, we'll target them to wherever they are. threats and provocation make it difficult to imagine, and a war

that divided korea six decades ago. hunger and malnutrition is said to be a widespread problem in north korea. one-third of the people there do not have enough to eat. once again here is teresa bell. >> this is the cooperative farm. it's portrayed as a model farm in north korea. >> kim jong un came here, and came here eight times. 16 times. >> our dear leader provides us with fertilisers, and we said to be more scientific. our dear leader said if we produce more than 10 tonnes, we'll be rewarded. he says now he'll be able to sell produce he grows in his garden. >> thanks to our gear leader,

our country has shown great development in the rural area. >> the landscape is beautiful here. there is much we cannot see. we are not allowed to film workers. they say it's because they are dirty and don't want to be filmed. we are not sure what it going on. >> when we tried to film a field not part of the tour, a man dreamed to this old lady to get out. the programme says that hunger and malnutrition are common here, especially among mothers and children. international humanitarian agencies say overall food production improved, but it is lower than ideal. compared to previous years, production increased significantly. north korea needs 5.4 million tonnes. they produce around 5 million, and the rest survived by international organizations.

this is to fulfil the minimum standards. >> it's difficult to know what conditions are like in other parts of the country. people are used to living in hardship. at this model farm, it's not the exception. he insists things are better than before. >> for more in north korea in the region, i'm joined by katherine moon, a senior fellow with the brookings institution and joins me from watertown massachusetts. thank you for sharing your perspective. our correspondent was provided with access to north korea. is this an aberration, or is this a movement by north korea to get its story to the rest of the world? >> i think it is an aberration. it's unusual. i watched that at home through the computer, online. i found it amazing that she was brought to the demilitarized

zone and got to speak to a north korean officer, high ranking, and bluntly said why they have nuclear weapons, and they final they are under attack from the united states. so it is definitely a new development whether this is a way to make it look - make north korea look like it's more open or transparent, who nose. if it is to continue, we will know that it is a significant change. >> why has there been so much obsession over kim jong un's disappearance? >> i have been wondering that myself, actually. i think his so-called disappearance, or lack of showing in the north korean public has become a pastime. it says if mickey mouse never showed up in disneyland for 40 dice, people would be going crazy wondering "where is

mickey?" it's reflective of the society's tendensy to look at north korea as sort of a theme park. it's an unrealistic place for many people. especially those that have not been there, and the tendency is to take north korea as a threatening place with scary things going on, and at the same time a comical farcical place. >> what is important to keep in mind is that kim jong un, the current leader, the fact that he went so-called missing is particularly important and poignant because he has been the most public oriented leader among the three in the dynasty. his grandfather, his father, himself. the fact that he was so public for the last close to three years in office, and all of a sudden disappeared due to illness was a shock to many. >> we have a conversation that

our correspondent teresa bo had with correspondent john seigenthaler about kim jong un's disappearance. let's listen to that for a minute. >> people were telling us that they had a lot of - they had to celebrate, they were happy that their leader was seen again. we arrived with rumours in the country about what was happening with him, whether he was ill or whether there was a coup going on, there were rumours that pyongyang was shut down. that's the day we got our viceas. we found there was a celebration for the anniversary of the workers party of korea. people were dancing and celebrating. everywhere was worried about what was going op. no one mentioned the possibility of a coup. they were worried that their leader could be till. the di we left the country people were relieved. it was impressive. when talking to people, they would cry and say how much they

missed their leader and said they were praying so their leader would be back soon. all this emotion is interesting in a country that is isolated from the rest of the world. >> with that being said, with the welcome that kim jong un received when he reappeared, what does it say about his role in holding that country together. how much power does he have. >> well, i can't tell you how much power he has, given that he's been holtized and is walking around limping. if he with talk -- hospitalized and walking around limping. if we are talking about is he in control. yes, he is control. there may be signals or possibility of an attempt to try sharing power. especially since he had been laid out in the hospital et cetera, recuperating. what is really interesting is that north koreans cannot

function - i don't think the north korean state and society can exist without one of the kims in power. i say that because the kim family, that dynasty, from the grandfather now to the grandson provide the society and the state political, historical, social, spiritual legitimacy. for a kim member not to be in power is to strip the country of its race on debt ra or its existential identity. if that's not the case, what does it say about the prospect of reunification of discussing an ultimate goal. we hope reunification will happen. it could happen in 20-30 years. we talked about peaceful

reunification. he said four unification, a peaceful uniification. there'd have to be a place for the kim leadership. i think it would be very, very important and necessary to work with the current regime to persuade it that unification is in the best interests of north and south. that means that a threat to get rid of the regime, a threat to put down the kim leadership will not necessarily be the right way to go about trying to get to yunification -- reunification. what is really important is that jim yong kim, and his leadership. if they are serious about uniification in the future, they would need to convey and persuade to the public, that this is something that the kim family, the history of north

korea is required to do - that is part of the trajectory, the legitimacy that could continue in north korea, and on the peninsula. >> a common perception about north korea is that education for young people is akin to indoctrination, that they think of a certain way of thinking and dealing. officials insist that is not the case. teresa bo ha a look in one of the schools. >> at the pyongyang middle school number one, children say they have great hopes for the middle of the country. >> i'm going to be a scientist in the future for my country. a scientist has launched a satellite. and i'm going to follow them. i'm going to lunch.

5, 6, 7 and... >> children coming here are among the best students in the country, and everywhere seems to have the same dreamt. >> one country, only one korea. here our country is divided in half. i'll sad about that. >> reporter: the issue of reunification of korean peninsula is an important study for the student studying. in fact, in the map, the korean peninsula is not divided. we came under the scrutiny of our guards, who controlled our mood and are able to see how north korea's generations are thought to defend the values enshrined. it has been ruling the country for almost 70 years. >> i am commanded by the supreme commander. >> that wall explained a value

of the communists gate. it's the military's first ideology. >> the new generation, it's important for them to know, to learn about the history, and how their parents, how the former generations had to struggle to to win, and the liberation. while learning history and the struggle. the signature of the nation. >> we are told that thanks to the current leader kim jong un, the school has new computers. but children here say they have never used the internet. >> i don't know much about it. >> the government runs every aspect of people's rights. the vice principal denies children are indoctrinated. >> translation: no, no, our

obsessive it to educate children, knowledge, philosophy and physical education. as for our history of our leader kim jong un, everywhere should know it and follow it. that's what we hear everywhere we go. >> north korea is an isolated country in the world. that does not seem to trouble children, taught to value independence and self-reliance above all else. dr moon, as you know, the democratic people's republic of korea have been engaged in now forms of diplomacy. to what extend is there an opening for better relations with the u.s. what is your anticipation about which way this glass most, if you will, will go -- glassed-knows if you will will

go? >> i don't know if we'll see it glass-nosed. we'd need to see more evidence. in terms of improving relations, north korea is serious. it has been diversifying foreign policy efforts for the last several months, beginning prior to the sequestration, or the hiddenness of kim jong un. so it was something that he and its cohort had initiated. the north koreans have sent high-ranking government officials to europe. they had diplomatic re-engagement with japan, and a surprise visit to seoul on october 4th. they have send - they have send their foreign minister to the united nations gem reply in september -- general assembly for the first time in 50 years, and are talking about reopening the 6-party talks. the diversification of foreign policy is a way to pursue new economic possibilities.

they are in dire straits. the international sanctions have been hurting the north korean economy. they need sources of investment. they need trade partners, and what is interesting is that they are trying to, in a way. diversify the political ties, they don't want to hold on to china as the only great power, the major power that can be their friend, and russia is not always a reliable ally. they are reaching out to europe and other countries. the third point to keep in mind is that the north koreans have taken the criticisms about the human rights seriously. part of the effort to diverse fi the foreign policy is a public relations gesture, in my view. >> thank you for your insight as al jazeera has gotten an up close, indepth unusual look on the other side.

hospital officials responded to widespeculation about how two nurses contracted the virus. they say allegations that the nurses were not wearing proper protective gear do not align with the hospital's medical records: in other news, it's been 12 years since the u.s. used guantanamo bay as a prisoner for morists. it's been a lightening rod. a federal judge ordered the release of tapes reportedly showing a prisoner force-fed. thomas drayton has more. >> in order to affect the appropriate disposition of individuals detained by the

extraordinarily dangerous prisoners, and termed enemy combatants. >> are any of the 90 people al qaeda members? >> i doubt it. >> the detention center housed 779 men, 15 minors, in what are called high value detainees. such as the 9/11 master find, col eke mohammed, who was transferred there. according to the human rights watch, nine detainees died, six suspected to have committed suicide. many have gone on hunger strikes, many alleging torture and subpar living conditions. amnesty international said the united states detention facilities at guantanamo bay is emblem attic of gross human rights abuses perpetrated by the u.s. government in the name of fighting terrorist. according to officials, 149 prisoners are held at a guantanamo bay detention center.

78 have been approved for transfer, they remain there. 600 detainees have been released over the years. many without ever being charged. >> none of the gitmo detainees have been tried for what happened on 9/11. we asked a director at the fordham university why. >> the difficulties range from the nature of the evidence, evidence gotten through enhanced entergags or torture. other evidence that may be hearsay and hearsay beyond what guantanamo will allow. there's problems with the charging authorities. some of the things they have charged individuals with, including individuals who have been convicted have been removed, and vacated. therefore, the problems are innumerable. >> there's growing concertainly that yemen is descending into civil war. in the province of ibb, 20 were killed when sunni tribesman set
