from guinea, liberia, sierra leone, will be required as of with respects to use one of -- as of wednesday, to use one of five airports that is screening passengers. they are j.f.k., new york lib lish other i, o'hare, hartsfield jackson. a reuters poll shows 70% of americans would like a total travel map of air travel from the countries. people, good news for some battling the disease. freelance n.b.c. cameraman and a spanish nurse's aide receiving treatment were declared free of virus. the continue of nina pham, the nurse who contract ebola was upgraded from fair to good. for more i'm joined from chicago by dr murphy, from the institute of public health and medicine, and professor of medicine and
10:03 am
biomedical engineering. dr murphy, nice to have you. thank you for nk viting me. >> homeland security secretary jeh johnson said anyone flying to the u.s. from sierra leone, guinea or mileliberia, will have to fly no one of five airports. 93% of people were those countries are going to those airports. is this a significant move? no, it is not. >> what do you think the impetus is, because they made a big deal out of it. >> it's becoming a political point. it's nothing to do with better health care or protecting us from getting ebola virus would it be better to act and suspend visas or a band. >> no, that is even much worse. >> what would you recommend.
10:04 am
>> i recommend what happened w.h.o. recommended and what has been written in the journal recently, in that the best way to screen for patients is at the exit airport. okay. and this is being done already. that's why there's so few cases coming into other countries with ebola. i mean, to my knowledge, there's only the one case, and that was to the united states. the reason for the concern, and everything, is because of the mismanagement of that case in the first hospital that the person went to. >> you mentioned the medical jourpt lancet, and based on the flight schedules, itin ris and conditions, predicted three ebola infected people per month would board flights if there is not effective screening at the points of departure. >> exactly. >> should the u.s. by fortifying
10:05 am
the proses in the countries to -- procses in those countries to make sure it is beneficial. >> that would be a great idea and help to the countries in question. liberia, sierra leone, and guinea to have international support at the airports. it would feel that the americans and europeans would feel more comfortable if their own people were embedded with the local people at the air parts. >> the w.h.o. on tuesday said there are two ebola vaccines that are experimental. they hope to role them out to tens of thousands of people in west africa early next year. they are hoping work on four other vaccines will come to fruition shortly. what percentage of users has to be protected from a disease in order for you to consider the vaccine to be okay?
10:06 am
>> it depends on the virus, how contagious it is, how many people, what proportion take the vaccine. typically it's in the range of 80%, but sometimes it can be lower, sometimes it has to be a bit higher. around 80% is the usual for vaccine coverage. >> do you think it will take the source. >> the good thing is it appears to be affected by the - in a positive way, with just anxiety bodies. and we can make antibodies by administering vaccines. it probably will be a vaccine preventible disease in the not too distant future. the other good aspect of ebola is it has known viral targets, and we can develop small molecules or drugs to treat ebola, on a preventative way or for treatment, once a person is symptomatic. if this is at all possible.
10:07 am
>> that's good news. >> yes, if they don't cut funding for this research, and pump the money into this particular area. this is all possible. >> so a spanish nurse's aid diagnosed with ebola a couple of weeks ago has been declared free the disease. is it the person's physiology, responsible. >> that is an excellent question. we cannot answer that. right now it looks like the mortality rate is around 70%. but we don't really know anything more than that crude number at this particular point. i believe the number of patients infected now we are going to answer that question in the not too distant future. now we can't answer it. >> a gallop poll that came out tuesday, when asked, the important issues,
10:08 am
ebola was number six. it tied with worius about the countries ethical and moral decline. number six is significant, do you think americans have placed appropriate significance on the outbreak, or too much? >> a lot of it is really due to the hysteria surrounding the infection, and the two nurses that were infected. it appears to be politicized, and some irrational recommendations and statements have been made. look at it, there has been 9,000 cases at least probably double that amount in the african countries. we had one case and missteps. that's it. we are not flooded with the cases. i think it's a little bit of an over-reaction on the public's part. it's good in effect.
10:09 am
if that stimulates research to develop a vaccine in drugs, that's great. we should accept it for what it is. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> turning to the war with i.s.i.l., coalition air strikes on tuesday bombed i.s.i.l. forces in the syrian city of kobane. i.s.i.l. claimed to have seized u.s. weapons to resupply the kurd. in northern iraq. villages saved from the fighters in august - pleaded for air strikes after i.s.i.l. took two villages, and prepared to attack communities and refugees. we are joined from washington d.c. from the director of the research programme at the institute for the study of war, where she simples as lead analyst on al qaeda and iraq, and served as an army intelligence officer. thanks for being here. kobane seems to be the head line. i want to talk about whether you put too much emphasis on it. as i look, you know, we have
10:10 am
been lking to kobane, and i.s.i.l. has launched fresh attacks in iraq. the sinjar mountain an tuesday said i.s.i.l. seized two villages, they are closing in, pleading for strikes and there has been dozens of iraqis dying in a car bomb attack, and i.s.i.l. controlled 80% of anbar province, is kobane, for all its importance to the kurds, really more of a sideshow? >> i don't think kobane is necessarily a sideshow. what i think is the significance of that particular fight is disoping i.s.i.s. where it is trying to vaps, and i.s.i.s. is trying to advance in a number of places and is difficult to concentrate attacks in one spot. it is important to halt the i.s.i.s. advance to weaken i.s.i.s. at its core and stop it going on the offensive at all.
10:11 am
and, therefore. kobane is one place where the fight is important as a turning point where i.s.i.s. can't win what it wants, and it's not the only place where it seems to have been sent. >> it seems the gapes that i.s.i.l. makes under scores -- the gains that i.s.i.l. makes under scores the ability of the air strikes. i look at the u.s.-led coalition, a lot of money, resources and intelligence, why can't the coalition get a better handle on this? >> i think there were two explanations. the first is that there's a lot of different ways to use air strikes. some more effective than others. we are seeing air strikes concentrated to support ground forces in contact with, trying to repel i.s.i.s. that's a way if scaled it could make air scales effective. the other concern is one that will be one that we have to deal with, and that is the fact that
10:12 am
air strikes delinked from the ground war, forces in iraq and syria, trying to fight i.s.i.s., will not overcome the i.s.i.s. ground offensive fast enough. we need to not meet i.s.i.s., but to get ahead of them. it will be hard to do that from the air. >> do you think the coalition will do more than win bottles here and there, while i.s.i.s. holds territory. >> it's a winnable ground war in iraq and syria. it's hard to visualize how to do that from the air and a distance. i thing that the grouped perspective. whether in an advisory capacity or a forward assist capacity is critical to that success. >> do you know we have heard calls for american troops to help with more than air strikes, in fact, do we, as the u.s., and as the coalition more generally have enough dogs in the fight right now? >> well, in terms of numbers, i
10:13 am
think that actually the more important issue is expertas, not at the tactical, but the strategic level. oth the most important thing we can do for ground force partners in iraq and syria is to help them frame a campaign to go on the offensive against i.s.i.s. in ways to overcome i.s.i.s. let's talk about expertise. it seems that i.s.i.l. is strategic, well coordinated. it cap affect multiple -- can affect multiple hits at one point. what do you think it going on strategy. >> i think they have an explicit and clear intend to close gaps in the i.s.i.l. line. i think that's the purpose. i.s.i.l. offensive into kobane. they want to the close off, isolate and eradicate pockets of resistance to them, inside the area they control. ch is what i think -- this is
10:14 am
what i thing i.s.i.s. is trying to do, to take full control. at places where i think that campaign can be unravelled is to keep the gaps open and open up other gaps. for example, the iraqi security forces went on the offensive against i.s.i.s., between tikrit and becamy, and the tigris river valley, which has been, suince zone. >> what is the most threatening thing in terms of how i.s.i.l. is conducting its operations. >> i think the concentrated vehicle-borne explosives attack in kabul is one of the things that is most violent and most dangerous, and potentially something that i.s.i.s. might be doing to try to elevate sectarian mobilization, potentially on the eve of the shia holiday, it's a trend i'm wishing to watch.
10:15 am
>> you came out early on and said that you felt that i.s.i.l.'s ambitions were beyond iraq and syria, and that is born out to be the case. >> are you seeing change in posture on behalf of the middle east erp countries and the recognition that they are going for a broad power grab? >> i think it's the shared opinion of states in the region on quitting states whose interest is not aligned that i.s.i.s. is a homeland threat to iran, turkey, saudi arabia and jordan. it's a question of what they do about the threat in iraq and syria right now. even those countries held different opinions about what should happen in syria over the course of the last two years, and how they preserve their interest is an important opportunity for all parties, situation.
10:16 am
>> i.s.i.l. released video showing what appears to be material captured from sunday's u.s. air drop to u.s. forces, including hand grep aids and rock -- grenades. the pentagon said one lot of evidence was destroyed. is it inevitable that some material will go astray in an operation like this? >> i have watched the video that came out of the region, suggesting that an air drop set of munitions and supplies were rejected. there was not a threat. i have no reason to refute the report and i have questions about the video coming from the field. while it is possible that some air drops could end up in the wrong hands, it's more important to consider the benefit to the ground forces. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> now for more stories from
10:17 am
around the world. we gee gip in -- in north korea where an american prisoner has been released. jeffrey fowl was arrested and detained for leaving a bible in his hotel, and charged with anti-state grahams. -- crimes. he appears to be in good health. >> u.s. authorities call op north korea to release who tert prisoners, kenneth bay and matthew todd miller. >> on juice, the feg son commission was a -- ferguson commission was announced. it will study underlying systematic inequality in the wake. michael brown shooting, and the violent protests that followed. >> they must be willing to talk candidly and openly. and, more importantly, to listen to what goes on.
10:18 am
every side has to say. >> the announcement comes a day after the senator spent the night in gaol after protesting outside the police department in what she called a symbolic act to promote peaceful protest egypt. an appeals hearing has been set greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed. they have been in prison for 297 days, and are falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. earlier this year peter greste and mohamed fadel fahmy received a 7 year sentence. baher mohamed received an additional three for having a spent bullet in his pocket. al jazeera demand their release. >> in washington d.c. benjamin bradley died after a battle with alzhiemer's. he transformed "the washington post" into a represented newspaper. during more than two decade as any editor, he oversaw the coverage of water gate, leading
10:19 am
to president nixon's ring gags in the pentagon papers. he was 93 years old. that is some of what is happening around the world. >> coming up, president obama was seen as a liability on the campaign trail for democrats. he may have made things worse. we'll tell you what he said. >> the dangers of teens and texting. the police officers working on the issue missed warning signs with his own daughter. the two join us after the break. >> and harmeli aregawi is tracking the top stories, what is trending. >> a popular store chain has parents up in arm after carrying drug dealer characters. let us know what you think:
10:21 am
with two weeks to go before the midterms, president obama limited his campaign stops to places he believes he can help and not hurt fellow democrats. recognising while he is not on the ballot, his policies are. while making that point on al sharpton's radio show, he may have given republicans fresh democrats. >> this is not about my feels being hurt:
10:22 am
. >>: . >> now ebola has infected the rhetoric, democrats are hitting their rivals for founding for preparedness, and the republicans are trying to tie the democrats to the president's leadership. >> cut. >> you cut. make a cut. >> cut. >> senator prior will not hold president obama accountable for note protecting our countries and families from ebola. >> for more, we are joined by
10:23 am
tom allen, a former democratic congressman, representing maine's first distribility, president and c.e.o. of the american group of publishers. and author of "what is wrong with the u.s. congress", out in paper back. good to have you with us. the president stayed off the campaign trail, because it's possible he'll make vulnerable democrats vulnerable. alison lundergan grimes in ken didn't admit -- in kentucky didn't commit she voted for him. why come out like she did? >> remember we were in the last weeks of the campaign season and any advantage they take. >> in many states that president obama did not carry, accountability is low. anything the candidates can do
10:24 am
to attract their opponent to them is something they'll try to do. he could have said that more effectively, but in truth, that is what is going on. by and large, democrats are voting together and republicans are voting together. this is a very polarized congress, and has been for a number of years. it's effecting america's life. >> let's talk about the politics of ebola. we talked about a pole where americans say it's the sixth most important thing on their mind in the scheme of things, in terms of national issues. when it comes to midterms, where will this weigh in - heavy on voters minds and be influential at the polls, or a leverage point or is it about politics. >> well, i would say it's almost all about politics, as a political issue, there's a good reason why people should be afraid. this is the kind of illness that doesn't have a cure.
10:25 am
if it spreads rapidly could infect other people. there are reasons why people are right to be worried. on the other hand in the united states i believe we can manage it. the head of the c.d.c. went out on a limb saying we could stop it in the united states, but it didn't mean we could never have a case. i don't think this is going to be a huge factor in the election at all. probably three months from now when it's more - three or five or six, when it's con taped more or less in west africa, that it will be less on the mind of people. it's coming out at the end and is part of a larger narrative that is important for republicans, which is to say that the government screws up everything it touches. this is a failure of leadership. if republicans were in the white house, they wouldn't make the same case, with the democrats, they are trying everything they cap to tie president obama to anything that the government
10:26 am
does that worries the american people. politics. >> speaking of republicans, republican strategist said the government's mishandling of the crisis will impact the incumbents and parties on both sides because it shows a lack of faith and unity. which is a hallmark of a functioning vibrant society. what is going on in politics right now when there's a crisis like this, striking fear to the heart of americans, that politicians don't unify, they take sides, line up and point fingers at each other. >> that is the subject of my book. the reason i wrote the book, i was frustrated by the conventional exploration of why we are polarized. it's to do with two different world views. democrats have a view of government that it's one way to advance the common good, and one
10:27 am
way to help people get a lift up. republicans have a world view, a libertarian view that government, by its nature, ipp fridges on its liberty. with those competing world views, there's almost no common ground. unlike 20 years ago, when george mitchell and bob would work together in combinations, the conservatives believe there was a productive role for government in solving issues - whether they be education, economic or the environment, there was a productive role for the government. that is lost, and the two parties are in a place which is, i think, dangerous for the american people. not much can get done. it's the primary cause of why the american people are fed up with politics. i believe it's an honourable profession. case. >> we talk about leadership in washington and coming out of congress. you talk about the polarization.
10:28 am
i'm of the mindset that congress is polarized. some people are polarized. most operate in a grey area. most of the country sees both sides, come together and are reasonable. is this bad leadership that congress is telling people you have to be extreme op one side or the other, and are not finding the middle ground? >> i would say it's partly a failure of leadership, and that these competing world views have filtered way as a way the american people are dividing themselves. polarizing. >> you think congress is a reflection. the members of congress and the way the campaigns are conducted stimulated this. i do believe that this is a disor dis-orienting time and economy for a lot of people that used to provide families with security.
10:29 am
it's very, very hard to do that. globalisation has its costs, and morale for white working me, i think era. >> thank you for your time. >> the book is dangerous convictions - what is really wrong with the u.s. congress, which is out in paper back. >> turning to a disturbing trend creating disturbing consequences, one in four teens in a study admitted to sending nude photos of themselves or sexting. the raults reveals -- results reveals sexting is a new norm. boys and girls were like i to send photos, boys likely to ask for them. some come out of the experience unscathed. others paid a price - bullying, depression and arrest. consider the case of a
10:30 am
minneapolis whose father is in the crimes against children. if you think talking about his work would be a deter ement, you would be wrong. 15-year-old michala and her dad grant join us. in the 7th grade michala began a relationship. starting with texting and then sexing. it drove her to depression and thoughts of suicide. thank you for both of you being here. glad to have you on the show. michala, your story begins with a girl liking a boy in 7th grade. how did you go from something so innocent to texting him inappropriate pictures of himself. who or what influenced you to do that and got you thinking it was okay? >> at the time it was - everything was doing it, it was a norm. it was all my friends are doing it.
10:31 am
i never thought he would be the type of person that would ask for something like that, but i was wrong. he had this way of manipulating me telling me it will be okay. if you love me, you'll do it. >> and when word came out you were bullied, you were depressed. describe your emotional and physical physical state once this was all over school. >> in the beginning i didn't thing it was everything, everywhere else knew everywhere was doing it. everywhere started calling me a slut, saying i was worthless and should kill myself. and it became really bad. i was sad all the time. i dishight i was worth -- didn't think i was anything to anyone, and i hated myself more than anyone could. >> did you go to your mum and dad. i know your stepmum got a hold of your cell phone and
10:32 am
discovered what was going on. when it got to the point where you had feelings of depression folks? >> yes, i talked to my stepmum and she talked to my dad. >> grant, you are a veteran cop assigned to child against sexual abuse. did you think all the time at your working talking about your work, that that would be enough nom exploited. >> it was. as a parent we are told give more information, more information it good. give more information earlier. in this particular case i can't thing of anything we provided michala or didn't provide michala, i think we provided her everything we could have in terms of information, examples of how young women were exploited and the pathways leading to that exploitation. her.
10:33 am
>> you said this was common. your friends were doing it. did this equate to exploitation to you. were you connecting the dots between the work your dad does, what happened to women and what you were engamed in? ---en gaged in. >> at the time, you know, i didn't think it was anything bad. i knew it was bad. i thought it's normal, everywhere will be doing it. connection. >> we work it out. mikaela was bullied. shamed by her peers. you and your wife depronted the boys -- confront the boys and the bullies, you had a mixed rehabilitation. is it blaming parents or they don't want to see what it is. >> that's a great correction. i spent a lot of time reflecting on the rehabilitations from the
10:34 am
parents -- reactions from the parents and schools. there was a thought of how are you going to protect us in mikaela, in our home we know she's okay or thought she was okay, but at school, in the hallways or in the school bus, we were not next to her. there was a sense of what i thought adults with their head in the sand, not wanting to acknowledge that this was a problem, that it could be my child. trying to really, you know, look at this was a problem that happens to someone else. >> whether or not someone my age or anyone that didn't grow up texting understands this, you do. this is how young people said. you said all your friend did it. do they still do it? >> i'm not in the same group of friends now. my group of friends do it, and a
10:35 am
lot in my grade do it. it's a social norm now. it's not okay. >> what clicked for you when you stopped feeling like victim and you felt empowered. i know you spoke to groups of health professionals and law enforce. . what was the trigger for that? >> my trigger was it came from my parents, and came from i need to show people that this is wrong, and i need people to know that it's - it's not ob, and i just want to help anybody that i can with my story. >> grant, you and your daughter have been talking publicly about this - which is fantastic and rare. one of things you confront people with is the role of online pornography, and the impact on people, young people, a popular culture. >> the reality of this is that like it or not, this is pornography, this is an extension of the pornification
10:36 am
of our culture, our children. the connections between pornography and later exploitation of women through sex trafficking, through profitition use, stuff like that, it's deniable. this is the same mechanism at work. when this type of manipulation occurs in an early dating relationship. that is at work in the - in the advance commercial sexual exploitation of young women and adult women. >> there's no doubt in the study. it points out that girls are not innocent in all of this. 42% of girls in this study requests inappropriate picture from boys. but it seems more often than not, that the girls are shamed, they are called out, they are bullies, what is the message to boys and the parent of boys? >> i think the message is you
10:37 am
shouldn't be asking for stuff, it's not okay. and... >> and i would add, she tapped me, i think she wants me to. i think that it's time for us to confront with our young me, and our old men too, that what we have unfortunately is a malfunctioning male sexuality in this country. when we have mechanisms like this, structures like this, and behaviours that are socially accepted, that young women believe that this is normal, and believe to this an obligation they have to fulfil at an early age, we have to cop front that and we -- confront that and we can't start that too early. i feel we have to start before middle school. >> we applaud your bravery, micale yes, grant and make alea, thank you for your -- michala, thank you for your time. >> time to see what is trending on the web. harmeli

welcome back to "consider this", i'm lisa fletcher in for antonio mora. democrats and republicans - are they picking the wrong flight. we are two weeks from the midterms and we are seeing the normal bickering. the next guest says the real bickering is not between policies, but classes. we have the author of the book "the new class conflict", examining the gap between america's haves and have not. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure.
10:42 am
>> we hear about the 1% versus the 99%. you say the real clash come with the rise of two new classes. tech oligarchs, and the urban planners, academics and media - class. >> when you look at the it can industry, they are not selling you a car, they are interested in a phone which almost anyone can afford. when henry ford and kahnicy and all those -- carnegie built the currently in the last sent gooey, they created jumps. henry ford may have been a miserable human being. he needed customers that could afford to buy his car. the tech it. >> you talk about the middle class shrinking, less upward
10:43 am
mobility with the working class. what are the dangers? >> i don't think the economy can function with just the wealthy getting the gen fits. -- benefits. long term it will hurt. the most important issue is people begun to lose home, that the kids can do as well as they did. 60% of americans feel the children will do worse than them. that has a depressing effect. this is an issue that should be discussed by conservatives and discussed. >> speaking of kids, you are concerned about a lot of billionaires in their 20s. why the concern? >> if someone makes a lot of money, they tend to be arrogant. they have not been tested. these people - they don't have a lot of employees, unions, and don't have to deal with the day to day life of the middle class.
10:44 am
they live in an amazing bubble. when you think about it. once it goes public, 50 people shared $19 billion. that is real money, they benefit from the fact that they pay pay. >> most of us refer to people as mill epials, and you -- millennials, you refer to it as the screw generation. median net wealth of people plummeted from 1984 to twooun. less than a third of what it was 35 years earlier. having? >> let's take the housing market. it's not come back. >> in 2005, 50% of people open their own house. today it's 38%. we'll ha a generation that will never own a home. think about this going further. 20-30 years from now, they will not have assets for retirement.
10:45 am
>> lack of ability or desire. >> i think it's the fact that they can't buy it. all the surveys, from all the people who ask, young people want to buy homes. the problem in many parts of the country, new york, california, there's no way to they can buy a parents. >> your book may have people a little pessimistic. you have solutions you put forward. let's talk about the salient ideas. we have to change, become rigorous anded u kate people for jobs that exist or will exist. >> getting a degree, that and the subway toke ep, as we used to say in new york is what will get you a ride on the subway. we have to send a message getting the debris and debt without a skill will not get you
10:46 am
anywhere. that's a big thing. we have to make the tax system fairer. the rich benefit, the middle class doesn't have money, they can't start businesses, houses, all the things they need. it is important that income not be redistributed in the way of taking it from the rich and giving it it the poor, but to make things fairer much the whole system is rigged from the class. >> where should the government invest its money. >> it should look at infrastructure, vocational education, looking at roads, bridges, how to improve those. they are important. and how to develop energy resources over time so we are not dependent on foreign countries and create good jobs. there are lace -- places in america where the american dream
10:47 am
10:54 am
are we on the verbal of the next energy revolution, look heed, makers of raptor and others, announced what could be a breakthrough in nuclear fusion, saferer than fossil fuse and nuclear rehabilitationing. fusion could give us unlimited energy. break through ipp fusion has been announced before, is it an empty promise. jacob ward joibs us, scenes it technology correspondent. people have been talking about nuclear fusion power for a long time.
10:55 am
why will fusion some day be a big game changer. >> it's an extraordinary possibility. the idea is understanding the difference betweens figs and fusion. fission is the splitting and fusion is smacking them together and creating a larger atom. so as you said it could be unlimited energy some day. the idea is you need to be - basically be creating more energy than it requires to put into the process, and nobody has been able to do that before. people make big and amazing amounts of energy, using processes in the past. it creates endless energy to create it. if lockheed claims they can but together a relatively tractor trailer size reactor, with a certain amount of energy into it and get a massive amount out, 100 megawatts, to power a small
10:56 am
