prisoner. mike viqueira has been following these developments. why is the white house so concerned about the way individual states are handling travelers returning from the region? >> it's a great question, stephanie. for policy makers it's become a question of an abundance of caution and protecting public safety versus the civil rights of many of these aid workers as they travel to west africa to try to stop ebola at its source. >> it's been a weekend of controversy, on friday, the governors of new york and new jersey announce tighter screenings at airports in their states, ordering all people who had contact with ebola patients to be quarantined when they return to the u.s. >> depending on the risk level, a person could require mandatory 21 day quarantine. >> sunday night, following pressure from the white house, governor cuomo changed his mind, opting for supervised check ups at home. >> during those 21 days, health care workers would check on them twice a day to monitor their

temperature and condition. >> the first traveler to be automatically quarantined is kaci hickox. when she arrived, she has tested negative for ebola twice. >> this is an extreme that is really unacceptable and i feel like my basic human rights have been violated. >> but new jersey's governor christie did not back down. >> she's been high risk and presented with a fever, which is one of the symptoms that's indicated. i understand she is uncomfortable and i understand that she doesn't want to be quarantined, but my responsibility, my greater responsibility to 8.9 million people in the state of new jersey. >> she has hired a civil rights attorney to challenge the quarantine order in federal court. >> we believe that medically speaking, there's no reason for the state of new jersey to keep

her quarantined. >> the nation's top infectious decease specialist said penalizing health care workers with quarantine could discourage them from going to west africa. >> the best way to protect americans is to stop the epidemic in west africa. we need the health coffee workers. to put them in a position that no matter what, they're under quarantine can actual have unintended consequences. >> another health worker who returned from west africa, who had the ebola virus, dr. craig spencer is still at bellevue hospital in serious but stable condition. easy showing the expected symptoms of the virus. >> along with the public health concerns, could politics be coming into play with some of the states now setting their own ebola policies? >> you always head into dicey

territory trying to race those issues with governors. pat quinn has a tough reelection fight in illinois. i think inevitably, there are politics involved in this, but it's hard to ascribe an overt mottive when you're looking at a public health crisis. >> what about the president's new ebola czar ron klain? >> this is an individual who's a washington insider, knows how you to get things done from a bureaucratic standpoint. he's run into criticism because he doesn't have a medical background. he just got on the job wednesday. easy traveling today to the c.d.c. in atlanta to get a firsthand view of the efforts to develop vaccines, to develop medicines to combat this, to work on protocols and make sure medical workers around the country are up to speed should they be called upon to treat ebola victims. >> mike, thank you.

clinical trials by may. we'll have a live report from bellevue hospital. >> hospital officials in washington state announcing a second victim died from the school shooting near seattle. >> classes at the washington state high school have been canceled this week as the community continues to grieve on that sunday, people prayed for the families who lost loved ones. now three students have died, including the young shooter. >> the 14-year-old died from a school shooting. the doctor read a statement from the family. >> she is our beautiful daughter and words cannot express how much we will miss her. we've made the decision to donate her organs so that others may benefit. our daughter was loving and kind

syria on sunday after an initial 23 on friday and saturday. the u.k. based monitoring group said the death toll in kobane has weaved 800. how many of these 800 killed were isil fighters? >> i think a surprising number. it's rough hi half. to put the actually figures on it, 481 isil fighters, 302 are kurdish fighters. the c.i.a. estimates that isil could have 31,000 fighters in iraq and syria. when you put it alongside that number, it's fairly small. >> we keep calling this a u.s. led coalition but there is criticism that some members are not pulling their weight. >> the obama administration said this coalition to fight isil consisted of more than 60 countries, but the bar for inclusion is low. although many countries pledged

military or financial support, simply exposing isil's true nature can qualify a nation. here's what was said on sunday's face the nation. >> it should be an arab muslim ground war. the saudis and turks have to engage. the kurds are the only ones who want to fight and defend and die for what they believe in. until we see the other regions, we're not going to change that. >> he's against u.s. plans to arm and train syrian rebels to fight isil on the ground. there's growing concern this morning particularly after last week's events of lone wolves, people carrying out isil led attacks in the west. many of them are ordered to stay by isil in their native countries and carry out similar attacks there and it's becoming quite a challenge for governments like the u.k., australia, canada and others to keep up with these individuals

and reign them in. >> dyan feinstein saying that is a growing problem. >> let's go to baghdad. let's get to the breaking news, a suicide car bombing south of baghdad. has there been anyone claiming responsibility? >> nobody's claimed responsibility, but it is a pattern we've seen time and time again. the suicide bombing took place just south of baghdad where it's been taken over by shia militia and iraq forces on sunday. this was an army special forces humvee that had been captured by isil, driven up to an army check point where the suicide bomber detonated his deadly cargo. we are going to see more attacks

as the militia clear the town, which they say they complete control, but the isil fighters have spread to surrounding areas and will mount attacks against check points like that and also against shia militia forces that remain on patrol. >> iraq is seeing intense fighting in recent days. tell us what is happening. >> the biggest operation that was mounted -- there's an operation that was mounted that finished sunday but took 72 hours to complete and that was again the town. that's a crucial town in the hands of isil. it was their weak effort link. they didn't have the kind of numbers of fighters in that town as in other places, but seen as a jumping offer point to the key religious cities which were coming under isil threat. that was in the south, the furthest south isil fighters had come. it faced fighting up near mosul

dam, an isil controlled territory. in anbar province, weaver seen fighting in fallujah and rimadi where iraq armed forces continuing their fight. pressure continues to build on amari city in anbar province, still in the controls of the iraq army. the isil fighters are moving closer towards it. if they take that town, that puts baghdad within eyesight of isil fighters, and that's a real concern. there's still a lot of fighting going on. this is crucial to the isil early. they say it's now in control but it's a blueprint that will provide other ways of attacking isil fighters. >> before we let you go, the peshmerga have been on the front lines of fighting isil but now we hear reports that they won't be engaged in direct combat anymore in some key areas. why is that?

>> too haring to what the kurdish government is saying, these troops are being sent to the fighters under intense pressure in isil fighters. this was a change, the iraq kurds said that they weren't going to go in and then turkey, which is one of the key controllers of that border crossing said that we wouldn't welcome iraq kurdish fighters going in there, then changed their position, saying they would allow them to go in. what i'm hearing is this could well be the turks demanding that the yes, the iraq kurds can come in but need to come in as a support basis, not as a troop that's actually going to do front line fighting. that is all to do with the kind of territory and the kind of control that turkey would like to have on that border crossing.

>> thank you very much. >> we are learning more about what isil hostages were subjected to in the days leading up to their executions. "the new york times" interviewed a number of witnesses about the final days of james foley, steven sotloff and other hostages, the men were tortured using waterboarding, mock executions before they were executed. >> there are new reports out this morning that boko haram is forcing some of those kidnapped school girls to fight on the front lines. human rights watch significant the young women are taking parts in raised and execution across nigeria and cameroon. the girls are being abused, raped and coerced into marrying the rebels. human rights watch saying more than 500 women and girls have been abducted by boko haram, including the 276 school girls. >> there is a second fatty from

last week's car crash in jerusalem. a tourist from ecuador died from her injuries. the other victim was a three-month-old american baby. the man behind the wheel was killed by israeli police has called it a terror attack. there were clashes in the west bank during a funeral possessions for an american born teen killed by israeli forces who say he threw a molotov cocktail on a highway. >> polls show that pro western politicians taking a strong lead in ukraine's first parliamentary vote and president poroshenko is promising sweeping changes. we have more on what is next for ukraine. >> preliminary results here in ukraine confirm what the exit polls were telling us, that the parties that described themselves as pro reform, pro european are going to have a big majority in the new parliament and will dominate the new government. coalition talks have already

begun between president poroshenko and the outgoing prime minister yatsenyuk. the recent history suggest that coalition talks aren't necessarily going to be easy, because many of these parties really are not so distinct idealogyically, and any new government is going to face and enormous task battling the economic decline in ukraine and in holding the country together. the turnout figures in that rewards are rather telling. just over half the ukrainian electorate, over 51% voted. that's not wonderful and it's it was much higher in other

areas, only 30% of the electorate felt inclined to vote, suggesting that a new government is going to have a crisis of legitimacy in the east and that will be one of its biggest challenges. >> the final results of the election not expected for 10 days. >> a tight race to the finish for brazil's president. she won in a run i don't have sunday. she'll begin her second term amid a sharp divide in the country. the pair nearly split the vote. she earned over 51%. >> taking a look at weather, the northwest getting slammed by strong winds over the weekend. >> let's bring in meteorologist nicole mitchell. >> welcome back. >> welcome back. >> i was hit with the remnants of hurricane gonzalo, this is the remnants of a different

system. there's been a pattern bringing system after system through, so this one high winds. the next one, that's the remnants, remember what hit hawaii over the weekend, hurricane ana? the remnants of that, the moisture and high wind, that is that current system that's now hitting the northwest, so watch for more of that moisture coming in and not as high over the course of the weekend, winds sustained at 60 miles per hour, but with all of this moving in, we could easily see the wind gusts once again for the coastline 35 miles an hour or greater. it's going to be a bit of a slow go getting into that forecast for today. the other system that had hit is now moving through the midwest, causing temperature contrasts. i'll have more on that coming up, but of course, the high winds today and the rain making for a slow start. >> you got to stick around, too, we have a story about a forecaster that has to climb a mountain every day to do a forecast. >> i heard this. i would do this job. >> nicole, thanks. >> isil facing a continuous

>> today's big number, $230 million, that's how much the property and equipment being left behind in afghanistan is said to be worth. u.s. combat operations now over in he will mutt province. >> the u.s. and britain handed over a pair of bases yesterday but 12 those nato troops are staying behind to help train afghan forces, duty lasting until 2015. >> this marks the end of 13

years of u.n. military occupation in that region. 2200 u.s. soldiers were killed, 435 british soldiers died in battle. >> the u.s. coalition continues to pull leal isil in iraq. the strikes are helping kurdish and iraq government forces make gains around kobane. the u.k. based syrian observatory of human rights say 800 people have been killed in kobane. nearly half of isil fighters. >> joining us to discuss the military strategy against isil is retired army sergeant mike lyons. >> it's possible the fires can shift back to iraq. there's really an emergency condition taking place in iraq especially the anbar province.

the iraqi security forces had gains, wimp is positive, but they've got to take key cities back, fallujah i think is where the next battle will take place. >> where does isil seem to have an advantage despite the airstrikes. we've seen a bar acknowledge of airstrikes, but where does that not effectively contain isil. >> in iraq, in these cities where they've co opted the local strikes and have them on their side and have tremendous in-roads in these cases, it's going to take a tremendous amount of infantry, armor and airstrikes to gain them back especially around kirkuk. >> when these airstrikes don't work, do they strengthen isil? do they get to say we took your best shot and survived? >> history often shows that's the case. you can't bomb these people into submission. they do survive, come out of it

and become stronger. you've got to have ground forces that follow up these airstrikes. in syria, we don't have that. >> two battles in syria and iraq and homegrown terrorism and the threat that have in the u.s. dyan feinstein over the weekend, the senator said this is a growing problem. is isil trying to open another threat in the u.s. or are these simple lone wolf terrorists? >> i think that's the case. they've got to be sow focused inside of syria and iraq to have any kind of operational expertise going to the united states. that's al-qaeda. that's those kind of forces, but right now, isil's still focused on the middle east. >> the man who opened fire in canada left a video behind. the police have not released the

video, saying the shooter was driven by ideological and political motives but don't believe he had ties to isil. canada's parliament is holding hearings to consider new anti terrorism laws. >> the midwest is bracing for stormy weather. nicole mitchell is back with that. good morning, again, nicole. >> good morning, so this is the same one that caused the high winds for the northwest over the weekend. you can pick out some of this, through the midwest this morning, not a ton of moisture, but definitely looking for rain as this moved through. what's going to be more significant, the temperature drops. behind at 40's, ahead of the 60's and 70's. it's not so much the cold air we expect, it's ahead of this, this warm core, even some 80's, 70's spreading into tomorrow, so really feeling nice if you're ahead of this. >> the white house warning states against imposing strict quarantines in response to

amount where she is under mandatory are quarantine while this nursery mains in an isolation tent, the first health care worker who returned from west africa to mandatory quarantine. she said it is inhumane because she is not sick. new jersey's governor defenders his decision to keep her quarantined. >> i have the people of new jersey as our first and foremost to protect their health. >> this is going to be probably the savest protocol in the country. >> as concerning questions about how to contain the deadly virus seem to be growing. >> now travelers will not be isolated, but florida governors have an order requiring monitoring for anyone returning from west africa.

that is the latest live from new york. >> let me ask you this. what are the groups that send health care workers to west africa saying about these mandatory quarantine orders? >> very frustrated, saying it's not something that is necessary at this point. they're quick to point out we make sure that all these people who return from working self monitor for belong lain required by the cdc. they believe anyone especially like the nurse here, kaci hickox who tested negative twice should be allowed to go home. >> a senior vice president of global health policy at the centers for strategic and national studies joins us from washington, d.c. this morning. thanks for being with us. let's cut to the choice. do you think placing health care workers coming back from west africa in quarantine is a good

idea? >> i think we've seen in the last few days that it doesn't really hold up very well against a variety of critiques. the shortens is no, there are other options and they are being developed very rapidly and those are to have people self isolating in their homes but with tightened enhanced supervision by outside public health authorities. c.d.c. and other federal officials are busy trying to come up with a formula that can be sold to the state governors that can be sold to the n.g.o.'s, doctors without borders and others who's personnel would be affected like this. >> the doctor now being treated he went bowling and even rode the new york city subway and an doctor went shopping. can health care workers be trusted to quarantine themselves? >> well, that's one of the really big factors here in triggering the governors to step

forward like this. with the case in new jersey, with the nurse vin son in dallas flying to cleveland, with the case of dr. spencer, when he was feeling well traversing the city, these have triggered a reaction among the governors about fear and panic being caused bible and about the demands for massive contact tracing that follow in the trail of these instances. the answer to that is to have a better agreement, a consensual agreement with the health care workers as to tiedenned conditionalities, still self isolation, but to guard against this sort of thing happening, which really gets under the skin of the governors and causes a bit of havoc in terms of public fear. >> the governor said he's

protecting the public, she said her rights are being violated. >> i certainly think the nurse who was put into mandatory confinement in newark has struck a chord by questioning both the science, public health science around why she would be held, because she is not symptomatic. she is no risk to the public. she's questioning the civil liberties basis for this. the governor, as i said, had some legitimate basis for being concerned and for attempting to bring greater controls, however the execution in this case has been horrible. the governor made a statement claiming that traci hickox was obviously i will, which is in error and managing her case

places her in conditions that are quite miserable. in execution, the devil is in the details here. there is a solution that i think governors, n.g.o.'s and federal authorities can migrate around, self isolation in one's home but with enhanced supervision and oversight. >> thanks for being with with us. >> we are learning more about the man who attacked new york city police with a hatchet. his father tells the new york post that veil thomson wanted to kill white people. one officer struck in the head is now in stable condition, the other released from the hospital. >> today in orlando, four former members of the famed florida a&m marching band will go on trial, accused of beating a former band mate. >> robert champion, the drum major died in a hazing ritual. we have more.

what has happened there since mullet has been imprisoned. >> he says this is a cult and sam mum let is still running things from federal prison. apparently, he believes that he is some kind of a prophet and he has a direct line of communication with god and he has ordered everyone in that community to stop speaking to anyone on the outside world. now as for these allegations of sexual abuse, schrock says sam mullet was sleeping with most of the adult women in that community. for now, that has stopped with him currently locked up. >> over the summer, a federal court i understand overturned his conviction. where does that case stand in the courts now and could he be released? >> yeah, at issue here is the federal hate crimes law that was used to convict sam mullet. right now, that's been kicked back to a lower court. there could be various appeals, there could be a new trial, it could actually end up going to the u.s. supreme court some observers say and that would

have big implications for the federal hate crime law. >> how is the kid you interviewed adjusting to the outside. >> until a couple of months ago, he had never driven a car, mostly prohibited from speaking to outsiders. he is doing simple things everyone takes for granted, went to eat at his first restaurant. he finally has a girlfriend. he is very concerned, though, he has seven siblings, he's the oldest and they are still living under sam mum let's rule and he is doing what he can to get them out of the that community. he says life for them on the inside is dangerous. that's what he says. >> fascinating reporting. adam may live, thank you. >> this evening, you can catch part two of the investigation into this rogue amish community at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on aljazeera america. >> something else we're taking a look at. every nine seconds a woman in the u.s. is abused. every day, three women murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.

cast votes. does this represent all of ukraine. >> also crimea, 200 million people disenfranchised. we're looking at 27 less out of the 450 possible parliamentaries, that's like cutting off a medium sized state in the united states and saying you can't be represented. >> that is a big deal. >> it is. however, you see the rest evident country coming out in over 50% participation in this election, so there's a big want for people to participate. in fact, there have been reports that people came to vote in those areas and were shot at by russian soldiers trying to get to their polling stations. even in those areas, there's a want to come out and vote. >> a war between government forces in these pro-russian separatists led to the loss of

3600 lives so far. are these new parliamentaries in a place to bring peace to the region? >> there's a lot of things on the table now, a lot of them dealing with first of all, how we're going to get gas and heat the country during winter. there's economic reforms that need to be done, tough reforms for the fact that so many voted and it was a positive election for reforms. what they're going to do are unpopular, maybe austerity measures, maybe raising the price of gas, which is heavily subsidized. there's unpopular things that need to be done for the country. in terms of the war effort, a lot of people elected to congress were actually former members of the military. >> does this election in ukraine bring the country closer to the united states? clearly it brings it closer to europe. >> well, i think what you saw from a lot of election observers from the united states, the committee monitored 400 election

sites. you see that the united states, everybody who comes to visit ukraine understands how tied in together our countries are, the shared values of freedom and democracy and just as the president said, ukraine has democracy, the struggle now is to keep it, so that's the fight right now. >> thanks for your insights this morning. >> colon cancer can now be detected by a simple at-home test. the test hits the market today. because it's so easy, experts believe it will encourage mommies to get tested, but there are concerns it may not be as effective as getting a colonoscopy. 50 million americans die from colon cancer each year. >> residents in hawaii are evacuating as a volcano inches closer. it is 300 yards from the nearest home and threatening to isolate 9,000 people, dozens of families have been asked to leave their

policy makers and public health professionals and experts and politicians in localities and states where ebola 60s can potentially -- health professionals who have treated victims come back from west africa, even if they're asymptomatic now, new york to a lesser extent than new jersey and to a certain extent in illinois, these governors have imposed mandatory quarantines. this is something that the president and other top officials on down have said could have unintended consequences. after all, many of these individuals are public health professionals. there are humanitarian workers and 3,000 military in west africa. it could discourage individuals who are going to west africa and in part trying to stop ebola from spreading at what has become the source in those three countries. back in the states, it would discourage individuals from going there to begin with if they have to be quarantines for

21 days before getting back to their normal lives when they return. >> the goofs of new york and new jersey did originally agree on a mandatory isolation policy, but governor cuomo of new york is changing his tune. what about chris christie in new jersey? >> he is not changing his tune, as a matter of fact, standing his ground. this has become a controversy, because there is an individual, a nurse, an epidemiologist, kaci hickox who was put in a tent in a hospital outside new jersey. she is suing the state of new jersey. she says her civil rights are being violated. here's how chris christie reacted to nurse hickox. >> she's been high risk and presented with a five, which is one symptom. i understand she is uncomfortable and i understand that she doesn't want to be quarantined, but my

responsibility, my greater responsibility is to 8.9 million people in the state of new jersey. >> the nurse in a telephone interview over the weekend says chris christie has never laid eyes on me, he's not a doctor, he's simply a politician who's trying to look tough. the fact that she's being quarantine said the nurse is preposterous. >> she has also said that she is completely fine and healthy. mike viqueira in washington for us, thank you. >> there are new reports this morning of another possible case of ebola in new york city, this time a 5-year-old boy. that little boy now under observation at bellevue hospital, as well. reports say he had a 103-degree fever after coming back to new york from guinea. he was transported to bellevue from his home in the bronx. >> a new york city doctor is being treated for ebola now showing signs of improvement. city health officials say dr. craig spencer is looking better. they say he is in serious but

stable condition. saturday, spencer receiving plasma treatments, his fiancee and two friends have been placed under quarantine at their own homes now. >> the u.n. ambassador to the united nations is assessing the response to ebola. samantha power is on a fact finding mission, trying to determine what resources needed so more nations will be able to offer rance. she said the u.s. is committed to fighting ebola in the countries. >> enwashington state, hospital officials announced a second victim died from injuries after a school shooting. >> students are not expected to go back to class today. >> that's. classes have been canceled for the whole week as the community continues to grieve. that decision was made before the hospital announced the death of a second victim.

overnight, a 14-year-old died after suffering a head wound from the shooting. a doctor read a statement from the family. >> she is our beautiful daughter and words cannot express how much we will miss her. we've made the decision to donate her organs so that others will benefit. our daughter was loving and kind and this gift honors her life. >> the student opened fire killing four students, then turning the gun on himself. the group of students were the shooter's friends, two were his cousins. >> the men who opened fire on canada's parliament leaving behind a video of himself before carrying out the attack. the royal canadian mounted police have not yet released the

video, sake the sheeter was driven by ideological and political motives but don't believe he had ties to middle eastern extremist groups. the canada parliament is considering new anti terrorism laws today. >> we're learning more about the man who attacked new york police with a hatchet. his father told the new york post that he wanted to kill white people. thomson believed white americans should pay for slavery and racism. one officer struck in the head is now in stable condition, the other released from the hospital. >> there is an intense battle for control in iraq and syria this morning. the u.s. coalition has been pounding targets in the region for nearly 40 airstrikes over the past four days. >> it's helping kurdish forces make gains. they repelled and isil attack overnight, which would have cut access to the turkish border. >> we have the details. >> it is doubtful whether the impact is as straight as it first seems with these attacks

on isil, people in iraq and syria and the estimates are that some 31,000 iraq isil forces in iraq and syria exist, so the offensive which is so far killed just short of 500 members of isil is going to have to go a long way if it's going to have a bigger impact. the past few days have been significant, and overnight, we have seen the heaviest fighting in and around the town of kobane on the turkish-syrian border. >> the death toll is rising in kobane as heavy fighting along the syrian-turkish border intensifies. activists report more than 800 people have been killed in a month of violence. more than half the dead are isil members, but despite another round of u.s. airstrikes hitting isil target in kobane, kurds who fended off militants need

reinforcements on the ground. that backup could come in the form of peshmerga forces arriving from turkey, but they have not arrived yet. some how makers say that won't be enough in kobane or beyond. >> we're going to need to allow special forces capability soldiers from britain and united states and others to go down range with these individualses that we ever trained both iraq, the peshmerga, rack i. soldiers and peshmerga and syria allowing more effective fighting on the ground. >> that is not popular among democrats, who support president obama's stance of no american boots on the ground in syria or in a combat role in iraq. >> it should be an arab muslim ground war. the saudis and turks have to engage. the kurds seem to be the only ones who want to fight for what they believe in. >> living in the west -- >> some other politicians are shifting concerns from isil's ability on the battle fields. >> one of the greatest fears are

those already within the united states being radicalized and inspired by the isis propaganda that's on the internet. >> that worry prompted by attacks in ottawa and new york, who allow officials described as radicalized. >> this is the profile, enemy within, self radicalization within the united states. they're hard to stop. it's getting them out of that radicalization towards a deradicallization pass. >> the lone wolf feared for so long and now apparently here on home soil. >> thank you. >> let's go on the ground in baghdad. let's get to the breaking news. throughout the morning, a suicide car bombing south of baghdad not long ago. what did the attackers target?

>> just a few kilometers outside the city which the shia militias and iraqi army took. a suicide bomber driving a humvee drove into the check post, blowing himself up and can i go at least 21 people and injuring 37 others. this is interesting, because again, it's one of the things that you see, american-made, iraqi army equipment being used against iraqi army and shia militia forces. we haven't seen them use the humvees and weapons they captured as vehicles for suicide bombs before, because this is very valuable equipment. a lot of this has come back into jair. a lot of it has gone back into the front lines with a fight in anbar province. it's valuable to them. they don't use it in this kind of way. it goes to show you in this

specific place, the isil fighters have been detached from the rest of their fighting forces and they're in desperate mode to mount any attack against the army check post and against those shia militias. >> u.s. airstrikes have been helping iraqi forces retake territory captured by isil, but isil is capable of bringing down those aircraft flying overhead. how advanced are their defense systems? >> >> there's a lot of controversy over the idea that isil can bring down aircraft. they have man pads, manual portable air defense issues, they have managed to bring down aircraft in the past. there was one that was supposedly brought down last week, an iraqi air force jet that had been brought down in

mosul, so we are hearing of various incidents, but they don't have the kinds of numbers of man pads that they need. the kurdish nationals are still making a very big dent. >> no u.s. aircraft have been brought down so far. thank you very much. >> u.s. and british combat operations have officially ended in an afghanistan province. >> we report from kandahar in southern afghanistan. >> the lowering of flags marks the end of a 13 year combat mission in afghanistan. british forces and u.s. marines handed over their last bases in he the province to afghans. operation enduring freedom effectively began in october, 2001. there were once 30,000 foreign soldiers on these bases alone.

nato's occupation ends and troops are going home. >> there is a better chance of a more stable future in afghanistan because we have a government there of national unity and army that is supported by the local population that represents all parts of afghanistan. >> afghan forces suffered heavy losses this year in battles with the taliban. over the years, thousands of coalition troops and civilians have been killed or injured. the head of the british forces admits the security situation remains difficult. that's one of the reasons why some 12,000 nato forces will remain in afghanistan until 2016 to support the afghan forces. but their role will be vastly different than in the past. they will train, advice and assist the 350,000 afghan security forces. for britain and the u.s. marines, the handover means their war in having a is over. aljazeera, kandahar. >> the united nations says more

than 5,000 afghan civilians have been killed or wounded so far just this year. >> prosecutors in south korea calling for the death penalty of the captain of that doomed ferry. they say he made excuses and lied and abandoned his post as that ship capsized earlier this year. we have more from seoul. >> the prosecution ended its case with the recommendation that the captain be executed for his crime. he along with three senior members of his crew were charged with homicide by willful negligence. the other three so charged, the prosecution say they should be given life in prison. 11 other crew members they say should serve terms between 15-30 years. the captain did apologize to the families at one stage, also said that he didn't order and evacuation, because he was worried the passenger's would simply be swept away in cold waters before they could be rescued. during the course of the trial,

though, he did say that he did order an evacuation, so there is a lack of clarity there. sentencing will happen the 11th of november. even if the captain is awarded the death penalty, it's not clear it will be carried out. nobody has been executed for a crime for years. the death penalty is under a moratorium at the moment. there are other avenues of investigation. the company behind the ferry, their senior executives are on trial for numerous alleged safety breaches and the families are arguing for a full independent inquiry, special law to get to the bottom of exactly what happened in terms of government regulation before this disaster and the government response to it, which is being so heavily criticized. it's not all about what happens to these 15 crew members, but they will find out their fate on the 11th of november. >> more than 300 people died in that ferry disaster, most kids on a field trip. ten bodies have yet to be found.

>> in this country, a strong storm system is making its way into the northwest, bringing a lot of rain. >> we turn to nicole mitchell to find out how much rain we're talking about. good morning, nicole. >> we could have a couple of inches coming in, but we just had the high system that came in damaging winds at 60 miles an hour, at least just for that area, 50,000 without but then widespread, closer to 100,000. that system is now in the midwest, so that has shifted. we have another one coming on the coastline now. that is part of the remnant of that was hurricane ana, if you remember that grazing by hawaii over the course of the weekend. part that have moisture and energy moving over the ridge that we have into the northwest, and making its way to the coastline once again. winds not as high, but a little bit more rain as we get he into this next area. you can saul of this funneling in, still looking for a windy side, winds gusting over 35 miles an hour, not quite as

high as we saw with the last, so that is an improvement. the next system still causing a couple problems, too. >> you were in paris, stephanie and i had a bet that says you climbed the eiffel tower. >> i've done it before, yeah. >> nicole, thank you very much. >> new clashes between palestinians and israelis erupts over the weekend. >> boko haram carries out a new round of kidnappings. we'll hear from some of the victims who managed to escape. >> one hiker getting creative when it comes to seeing one of this world's great wonders. that video and others captured by our citizen journalists around the world.

>> a zip line went down into the valley in beijing. he took off for a rather breath taking view. >> israeli's government is pushing forward with a plan to build 1,000 homes in a contested part of jerusalem, causing friction with palestinians. they say israel has no right to that land. >> thousands attended services for a 14-year-old on sunday. the israeli army said they were lobbing fire bombs.

>> recent tensions over a mosque in jerusalem have complicated ties. >> for many worshipers at the mosque in occupied east jerusalem, this is the israeli police violating islam's third holiest site, confrontations between palestinians and security forces here are becoming common, while non-muslims are unable to enter the compound, recent visits by far right israeli groups have led to violence, triggering complaints from the government of jordan which overseas holy sites across jerusalem. >> they can end this. they can prevent israel from posting 89 limits and bring back things to the way they were before. >> the jordan government has harshly criticized israel over the recent clashes. while many palestinians wanted

to do more, most would agree that the situation here would be far worse if jordan and israel didn't have several agreements. >> the peace treaty signed by two countries in 1994 includes water and land agreements and provides broad cooperation in tourism and trade as well as comprehensive border agreements. >> you can say with confidence, it's a cold peace made between governments, two systems, but among the people, it's an endless occupation. why is that because of atrocities in jerusalem. >> analysts say it's unlikely the two countries will end their peace agreement soon. >> i think it's doorable. its institutionalized with training in conflict management in controlling the conflict.

>> until scenes like these end, palestinians say they will continue to press jordan to do more to stop what they see at israeli provocations at the mosque. >> recent battles in the west bank have heightened the tensions in jerusalem. israeli prime benjamin netanyahu plan to say increase security across the city. >> they say they are mark ago new chapter in politics in ukraine, polls show western backed politicians have a strong lead in the first parliamentary vote since the ouster of viktor yanukovych. president poroshenko promises sweeping changes should he win. >> there are new reports boko haram is forcing kidnapped girls to fight on the front lines. the young women are taking part in raised and executions across nigeria and cameroon. the group also says the girls are being abused, raped and coerced into marrying the

rebels. human rights watch says more than 500 women and girls have been abducted by boko haram since 2009. that that includes the 200 school girls that made international headlines. >> the families of those missing girls are now operating that their daughters will one day be brought home. a lot of those parents now live in fear. >> rebecca is afraid to leave her daughters alone. the oldest sarah was abducted by boko haram fighters in april. this is what she wants to say to her missing child. >> be strong, sarah. god will help you escape if you are still alive, but if you are dead, then there is nothing i can do for you, why child, except pray that you are at peace. >> sarah and more than 200 other school girls from northeast nigeria were not the first to be kidnapped by boko haram. hundreds of women and girls are

still disappearing. some who escaped have disturbing stories to tell. >> >> dealing with the physical and psychological abuse isn't easy. >> they get freeze, and that you can feel, if somebody can get freeze by hearing the sound of something, it shows the level of the traumatic situation they passed through. >> human rights say the nigerian government isn't doing enough to protect people. nigerian officials deny this. >> it is an attempt at rescue that the numerous offices reported by the armed forces

occurred. you can see that many of the incident commanders have been taken in, some are fleeing, some are giving up. we are advancing, the government of nigeria will not forget the citizens in need. >> for rebecca, that's not good enough, so she's left the northeast and moved to the capitol. she feels it's safer here. her family is not complete. >> she'd like to say just she'd like -- >> the 10-year-old misses her big sister and like hundreds of families across nigeria, they're waiting for her to come home. >> just this weekend, boko haram reportedly kidnapped another 30 children in northeast nigeria. >> it is almost november, but some parts of this country are going to feel more like spring today. we have more. what? >> we have a system moving through the midsection of the country and the flow ahead of

that is very warm. you feel cooler air behind it, but that air isn't as unfortunately as what we have ahead of this, so look at the 40's this morning, places like far go, you get ahead, that's the morning temperature. we've got the warm southerly flow. even in the east tomorrow, enjoy it while you can before the front snaps us back to reality. today, somewhere like atlanta at 85, chicago, pretty nice for october, at 73 he. then i mentioned those mild temperatures as far north at new york could hit that 70-degree mark tomorrow. >> remember as a kid, you used to love it when it would be nice and warm for halloween? >> then you can wear any costume, versus the parka over the costume. i think it's going to be cold before halloween hits. >> we've still got a few days. >> new york and new jersey governors receiving pressure over their ebola quarantine procedures. the backlash over the move in

the treatment of the latest ebola victims. >> we look at the deciding factor in an election race. >> since 9/11 the us has spent has spent billions of dollars on domestic counter-terrorism operations. >> i wanted to be in on the big game and to be paid top-dollar for it. that's it. >> many of these involved targeted informant led stings. >> to them, everyone in the muslim community is a potential informant or a potential terrorist.

>> an american votes 2014 special report kansas >> in our state, government is broken >> a republican governor has made drastic changes >> the highlight of this is... eventually doing away with income taxes...

victim of friday's high school shooting has died. she is a 14-year-old and passed away overnight in a seattle hospital. she was one of those four teens injured friday when a high school freshman went on a shooting spree, then taking his own life. >> millions casting their ballots in ukraine. the president promises sweeping changes. he will form a coalition with prime minister yatsenyuk's party in parliament. >> the white house is warning individual states about the unintended consequences of imposing strict quarantines on healthcare workers coming from from west africa.

>> a 5-year-old which is brought into bellevue hospital here overnight by a team wearing specialized gear, making sure that they were not in contact with any fluids. he is being observed for ebola like symptoms. he recently photographed from west africa. they remain in quarantine this morning. being observed right now, obviously no confirmed tests this morning, that takes a bit of time but he was brought in overnight. he is in the same hospital as dr. craig spencer, who has been here since his return. he tested positive for ebola and continues his treatment here. doctors are encouraged by the treatment plan here and his prognosis especially after he received a plasma donation from a former ebola patient, now infection-free, she donated

blood, the plasma used in his treatment, so he seems to be doing a built better. >> how are the groups that worked with the u.s. medical volunteers that are coming back responding to these mandatory quarantines being i am potioned? >> very frustrated about what's going on with the quarantines here in new york and new jersey and illinois. they say it's well above anything that needs to be done here. they are worried about what it's going to do to potential volunteers, people who are desperately needed to help in the crisis in west africa. they're afraid it's going to scare some people off. they have said that they go above and beyond the c.d.c. protocol, of course, making sure that anybody who goes back to work self monitors much longer than required. they say if you're not showing symptoms, if you tested negative, you should be allowed to go home. >> thank you very much.

scott walker is facing a tough challenge from mary burke. we have followed the race and have a report now. what are key issues that will sway voters? >> this is an election that's all about the economy and jobs. wisconsin is a rust belt state and lost 160,000 jobs between 2008-2010. when scott walker came into office, one of the things he campaigned on was promising to bring about 250,000 jobs to the state. he's fallen short, only creating 120,000 private jobs. mary burke has been hammering away at that, that he made a vow, a promise and has not kept it to people in wisconsin. the other thing they differ on is the minimum wage. burke wants to raise it and walker wants to keep it at $7.25 an hour like the rest of the nation. it's all coming down to jobs and

the economy. >> you spoke to people at that jobs fair. what do they want the next governor to do about the state's economy? >> one of the things i think they really want the next governor to do is attract more businesses to the state. you know, one of the things that walker campaigned on was bringing companies from border states like illinois up to the badger state. he's really not done a very good job of doing that. i think the other thing that you're seeing is you have a lot of older workers who worked in manufacturing, the ole kind of manufacturing and they really don't have the skills in place for the new manufacturing, a lot of the jobs that are being created now in wisconsin, there's a skills gap. some of these people who lost jobs don't ever the skills for newer jobs, so they need to be retrained. burke is focusing on education and walker is looking more, giving tax credits to businesses so they can take employees and retrain them for jobs. we talked to people who some

people have been out of work for six years and still can't find a job because they don't have the right skills. >> both parties watch that go race closely. thank you very much. >> we're going to get more into this. as i was hearing the report about the minimum wage issue, about the jobs issues, really the race in wisconsin, doesn't it reflect a larger die bait going around the country when it comes to minimum wage and a sluggish economic recovery? >> absolutely. governor scott walker elected in 2010 promised to create 250,000 jobs and he has not met that goal and he's answering for that now. of course embroiled in four years have really intense politicking around these issues, the budget, jobs, collective bargaining, he really is in the fight of his life with mary burke, because she's a formidable challenger. he can't run against her as if

she is tied to barack obama or congress. she's a political newcomer. it's a really tight race and closely watched throughout the country. >> there is a tie in the polling right now. what do you think will make the difference in the final couple of days? >> number one is obviously going to be turnout. if the republicans can get their base to turn out, they will have a small advantage. also does anyone make mistakes in the final days. third, you've seen president clinton, former penalty clinton out there for mary burke and president obama tomorrow. presidents don't normally go to these states unless they think there's a chance she'll pull this through. those endorsements may help her. >> this one is too close to call. >> governor walker has been floated as a possible 2016 republican nominee for president. does his career live or die by whether he is reelected? >> i think at least in the short

term. if he can't pull this through, it would be very difficult for him to make the case that he can run in 2016. maybe in the future, he could mount a campaign in a future presidential race. that said, beyond this race, he is facing ethical issues, legal issues. those are the kinds of things that can make a once very attractive republican candidate not attractive across the nation. it might be a harder sell than we thought four years ago. >> there is another name being needed around this morning, former florida governor jeb bush, his son saying that he is ready to run. what do you make of this? >> absolutely. his son, his brother, potentially his father, the only one who seems not completely onboard with his mother, but she's turned around. it looks like jeb bush is closer to winning. an important member of the family now says she wants to go forward is his wife, who's been most reluctant throughout his career to go on this journey,
