al jazeera's melissa chan is in dallas for us. what else did the hospital have to say? >> well, morgan, this is in the the first time that the hospital apologised. in addition, in this ad, the hospital talked about the training, admitting that nurses and doctors hadn't been train, adding that they were in the process of being trained. change is not something you do with one session or workshop. training for this virus requires more time, and to be fair, the consensus from experts is had this happened at any hospital in the united states, it would have been likely that mistake of some kind would have been made. this is the first time there was an ebola patient.

hospitals are not equipment. they are vigilant. this is something nurses and doctors did not have to deal with. this add is not just an apology, but a way to regain public trust. but their business was hit. $600 million. >> you mentioned all of these first. there was a cruise ship carrying a dallas health worker who had contact with thomas eric duncan. and that docked in galveston. what do we know about her condition. >> well this particular female health care workers was never in direct contact with dunk. this is out of an abundance of caution. she did, as you mentioned, handle lab sample, and had no

difference. they helped syrian kurdish fighters, at least hold the balance, but as they will tell you all the time, the air strikes on their owner not enough. i.s.i.l. fighters are hiding in people's home, homes abandoned by refugees. they have to go building to building to look for them. the kurd need more weapons. >> it's interesting because as i'm listening to you, i see the town behind you. you are at a unique vanedage point. you literally clap at the bombs going off at the border. what are people saying to you. ? >> yes, this is the only place in the u.s.-led coalition against i.s.i.l., iraq and syria, where it's played out. here every time an air strike goes in, there's applause. we spoke to the guys, mostly me

paperwork to make certain she can vote in virginia, she has never missed an election. >> reporter: why is it importance for you to vote? >> it's my right. i think we have earned the rights to vote. >> reporter: this year she needs something new, a photo i.d., something she does not have. >> look at the camera, one, two, three. >> reporter: officials with the arlington county office is heading to senior centers and other areas to take photos to provide a car. >>. >> we want people to vote. if this is a requirement, let's help them out. have that photo id. >> in virginia, a host of i.d.s are allowed. a number of other states are much more restrictive. in texas, for example, voters must have a government issued i.d.

so a permit to carry a gun is okay. not a student i.d. those fighting the texas law say $600,000 registered voters may not have the right identification. many minorities. >> we as americans do not want politicians manipulating the rules so some are voting and some aren't. >> some have been struck by by state court and the u.s. supreme court blocked a wisconsin law. >> there's little evidence that voter fraud is a problem. supporters of the idea logs argue that they serve an porp purpose. >> to secure the election process and make sure we have fair and free electionsing we are one of the only countries in the world, the western democracies that does it, requires a voter i.d. >> states with i.d. laws are

waiting to see what happens. you have no idea how this will play out on election day. >> we don't. well assist voters in any way we can. >> the battle over the constitutionally of the laws will continue past the election. voter i.d. is first up in the weekend poll fix essential and didi bangui joins us, aid to george w. bush and carter, a journalist. what do you make. 5am decision from the court on a saturday? >> for me - i'm from indiana, we had voter i.d. it works well, goes smoothly. if you don't have it. the state will work with you to get it to you for free. we want to make sure people are not dissen franchised. i see my vote cancelled out by voter fraud. >> you think fraud is the bigger

issue. >> it's thu. >> do you think this is a setback disenfranchising voters. >> where is the fraud. these are talking points. what this is really about, republicans are terrified at the notion that a candidate like president obama pulled out millions. if you can't beat them straight up, find another way to do t where is the fraud. if you have a student i.d. in texas, that is not good enough. but you are good if you have a gun licence. it's unfair. as justice ginsberg argued, and i don't want to monopolise the time, and the opposing opinion, this amounts to almost going

back to a poll tax. >> how do you react? gipps berg says you want to have -- ginsberg says you want to have an i.d. many are travelling 2-3 hours to get it, and there's prohibitive costs. >> that's not true. going back to indiana, where we were the first state and it's working well, there was voter fraud. the department went to gaol for it. it happens all the time. you have to function in this world, you need id. i have i.d. to come into the building, to basically get anything, it's ridiculous. everywhere should have id. >> do you think it will help republicans retake the senate? >> i think we'll retake it. i don't think it matters if an asteroid hits the red state. >> let me make this point. for the supreme court to come in at the 11th hour before an election and say we are not

going to get involved because it's close to an election. this is the same sprourd that opened the floodgate when they ruled parts as unconstitutional. >> part message is the supreme court sending when it struck down the wisconsin law. is it double talking? >> it's a right decision, it's outdated to not have i.d. to function in society. yes, you should be able to prove who you are. i don't want a guy or woman who is faking it, cancelling out my vote. >> talking about faking it, let's talk about fan gate. the race for the governor's seat. rick scott refused to join challenger charlie crisp at the podium, because of an automated stand. let's listen. >> governor, do the rules of debate say there should be no

fan. >> not that i'm aware of. >> the rules that the campaign showed us, that says no electronics can be used... >> are we going to debate a fan or talk about the education, environment, future of our state. i mean, really. >> just talk about awkward. that was odd to watch. what did you think? were you surprised how much attention this got? >> i'm not surprised at the attention. i have to agree, or i would imagine didi and i might agree. >> you have a fan down there. >> on this issue i'm with governor scott. i recall when i moderated the debate with elliott spitzer. it wasn't known to the public, but he refused to come out because his opponent had a notebook, something as minor as that. there's a reason the rules are

in place. they debate for hours. there's a question of whether an addendum was added to include the fans. >> let's look at the poll numbers. didi, could the fall out from the fan-gate put christ over the top. >> i don't think so, it makes him look weird. i don't think fan-gate helps chris. we agree on this, this will be a tight race. they've made bold decisions, when you knock open the ople cart they don't like it. i don't think fan gait helps crisp. >> let's talk about the other scott. polls shot the republican governor scott walker loft his leave -- lost his leave after saying he doesn't believe the

mij mum wage will work. >> he is saying things coming back to haunt him. i was in wisconsin this like for a couple of days, and i saw some of the negative ads. these two are going at it. the governor, who is against abortion says i'll defer to row v way. he's trying to have it both ways. what do you think, two years ago walker said in no circumstances should abortion bea loud, even rape or ipp crest. a few days ago it seems like he was waf lipping. >> i agree. i think he was in a pickle. as far as minimum wage, it should go away. it should be on merits. the biggest issue is the women's issue. we'll see what happens. that could backfire. women do not like to hear the

rhetoric. issues with million dollars -- with missouri and indiana... >> you think he waffled. >> yes. don't talk about it. if you are not comfortable. it's not eperfect. don't waffle. politicians can re recuse themselves from issues that are that hard. >> women's votes, if they come after you, you are in trouble. it is the biggest problem. they have issues. he's a leader and did nice things in the state. unions are big and organised. >> he can hold on, he's a great p. >> today is the first day the president goes out. is it better for him to focus on

the white house. >> we'll agree. >> take the lay out. >> if you are in a contested race, the last person you want is president obama at your side. i will argue that he's been chonized by the republican party, and part is not his fault. this is not the only were the to go through this. client went through this. if you are a democrat, you want to remind the country of the good times, you want bill and hillary clinton, the last person is president obama. however, democrats have to energize their base. obama pulse out the black base, if they development pull out the black base they'll lose. >> you mentioned hillary.

does president obama's toxicity crystalise helicopter. -- hillary clinton. >> i don't think so. president obama is in such trouble and poll numbers bad. does it help her, yes, probably. he's so far in the tank. the only place he can go is maryland, it's so democrat. he has to show his face somewhere. >> former aid to george w. bush. thank you both for being with us. >> despite trade in economic sanctions. many are living the life of luxury. the government found ways to get around the sapses, and teresa bo has a rare and exclusive look in the nation. >> reporter: a water park in popping is for people here a symbol of prosperity. swimming pools and flights. 12 different types of saunas,

for the government, places like this are an act of defiance. according to the u.n. sanctions. lory goods cannot be traded. most of the things we did it ourselves. for the high class people say it is, but as you can see. it is for normal families, citizens enjoying their life. >> in the last year imports of luxury goods soared in spite of u.n. sanctions. most of them are widely seep in the capital pyongyang, where it's not difficult to spot imported wine in cars. >> at the equestrian center more and more are coming to learn how to ride. >> under the sanks the forces are banned. ner considered a luxury good. the government is finding all ways to bring them into the

country. the definition varies from one country to another. in this case it's clear. u.n. sanctions are aimed at hurting the leadership. and not the vast majority who do not have access to the new installations. >> this is the first time in man what is brought his children to the equestrian center. he works in a government ministry in pyongyang. >> translation: with the newly built facilities we can feel we are having a happy life, thanks to the care and love ever our marshall. >> many of the instructors have been learning about horses for a while. what does he think the united nations don't want him to bring horses here. to hear, no. >> workers may not speak about

politics, it's clear his place of work is a political statement. and that the leadership of this government will continue to press on with its defines of u.n. -- defiance of u.n. sanctions. >> there is a thing that when the party and leader decides, we do it. nobody here has doubt about that. since coming to office. kim jong un has seep the capital get buildings and entertain. facilities. whether it will extend further remains about be seen. >> the united nations passed a set of sanctions against mia after another underground nuclear test. pictures of kim jong un and his wife. they ran on state media, showing him meeting athletes from the

asian games. the location or the date was not specified. the games ended two weeks ago. kim appeared in pictures after not being heard from in weeks harvard made headlines with a new policy on sexual assaults, and is now under fire from college professors, why some say it goes too far in protecting victims. it's been hurt lipping through space -- hurt lipping through space for a million years. mass is hours away from a close encounter check this out. it's only legal one day a year. a super bowl of dare devilsar of the break don't go knimp. -- don't go anywhere.

. >> welcome back to "al jazeera

america". thanks so much for joining us this morning. i'm morgan radford. here is a look at the headlines. a high school hazing scandal leads to the suspension of the head football coach and several assistants. sex football players were criminally charmed for the hazing of freshman players. there's mayhem at a pumpkin festival. newhampshire police had to break them up. >> doze were injured and several arrested. >> the parents of hannah gram were notified of human remains found in charlottesville. tests were under way to see if they were missing student would went missing. a group of prosource on tuesday called on the school to draft policies pe taping to sexuality assaults. they subjected harvard's policies lacked fairness and due

process. it is a result of a white house effort to push colleges and universities to deal with assaults on campuses. joining us is a masters candidate of public policy. she's co-coordinator of the harvard school of demand and report. thank you for joining us this morning much the professor said harvard's policy is stacked against the accused. you said the policy is not perfect. how would you change it? >> our problem with the policy, from feedback from students is it's not clear enough recording the gption of concept. there's no definition of consent in the policy. we are looking at a policy, ie yes means yes. it helps students understand what is and is not acceptable. >> you mention a definition of

concept. some say the new rules create a double standard, where the me are just as drunk or ipp cap as titted. it hurts the men, but is patternistic to the women. what is your response? >> affirmative concept is mutual concept. it's both parties giving a yes. it's not plying to victims, but to both parties, regardless of gender. it helps perpetrators, it makes the standard clearer on what is and is not acceptable. there has been a reaction because there's a pike in lawsuits against colleges. you and i know i wept to harvard, there has been cases where me are falsely accused and a false accusation could mean the end of a career. how do you treat the victims?

>> we are dealing with civil procedures. schools are not courtrooms. the reason there's a preponderance of standard is because sanctions are not legal. going to prison or name on a list will keep them back from opportunities going forward. while there's a different standard, it's important to know there are legal ramifications for criminal proceedings. >> you mentioned that schools are not courtrooms. i want to back up on that. should the standard for proving innocent or guilt be lower? >> sorry, can you repeat that. >> should that standard for proving innocence be lower on campus than it is in court. >> yes. that's because it is a civil procedure. we are not dealing with beyond a reasonable doubt. because of the legal ramifications, we are talking about suspensions, and that is important for reporting reasons.

because there is evidence, it means more likely than not this happened. if you look at the imperial evidence, it's an upreported crime on campus, as well as 5% of victims, and what brings people forward is knowing that there is the standard of evidence. >> as a student of public policy, thank you for joining us from boston. >> now the east coast is bracing for what could be a nor-easter. what do you say? >> we are watching how the storm developments. here is the upper level pattern, and what are looking for is a change that happens, you see a dip forming and a deep area of low pressure. the wind impose down to the north and around it.

what we see is a low leading to a big storm on tuesday into wednesday as the low forms. here is an area of low pressure. a lot of rain coming in. because high pressure is up in canada. there a difference. it's a nor eacher. watching where this develops is key. north of this, up a bit. the area of wind and rain could be pushed up. we'll see flooding, rain and coastal flooding, tuesday, wepts and into thursday. >> let's go into the cosmos. for more than a million years a comet travels towards the sun. close gas and dust changes the planet's atmosphere. >> reporter: named after the observatory in australia which spotted it. the comet has come from the nah

reaches of the solar system. for more than a million years it travelled towards the sun, warming and developing a tale of gas and dust. it's trailing at 56km a second, and will swing by mars, 132,000 kilometres from the planet. >> at the time of the close encounter with mars, it will be almost the closest to the sun. when they do that it releases a lot of material, gas, particles, gases, water, hydrogen and all the particles, ejector will interact with mars, and that will be interesting. >> that interaction will be recorded by no fewer than five spacecraft. he orbiters, including india and two n.a.s.a. rovers have been prepared for the comet.

>> it will look at shape, dark possess, lightness of the nucleus. it will look to see if it can detect changes from comet and mars. >> the spacecraft are trying to understand how external forces affect the martian atmosphere. billions of years ago it supported water. it is believed to have been eroded by solar wind, energy from the sun, leaving a thin coat of carbon dioxide. it could mows a plaid to the space -- pose a threat to the spacecraft. >> we have studied and modelled it. we know, believe, that when mars is close to the dust belt, all the spacecraft will be on the opposite side of the planet. >> scientists believe the gas could cause auroras in the

martian atmosphere, and the spacecraft will be in a unique position to record this. it's information that will help us better prepare for the next close encounter that comet is expect to ply by mars around 2:30 eastern. but will not be visible from the northern hemisphere. (countdown) free falling in virginia. over 400 thrill seekers strapped on parachuts to jump off the bridge. it's the only day all year that it's legal to jump off the bridge. the plunge will be 900 feet. >> that will do it for us. thank you so much for spending your morning with us. coming up live from doha,
