we welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is cnn. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. in the headlines this hour -- >> israel says the soldier it initially believed was captured is dead. the idf says that hadar goldin died in battle in gaza on friday. the israelis accused hamas of capturing goldin but the ilitant group never confirmed they had him. shelling in gaza continued. just about an hour ago, the

death number now 1700 palestinians killed since this conflict began almost four years ago. and this num sber stber is stag. almost 10,000 injured. >> a second american infected with ebola will be in the united states early next week. saturday, doctors -- dr. kent brantly made history as the first known carrier of the virus to be treated on u.s. soil. we want to show you these images apparently showing the doctor entering an atlanta hospital with little assistance. his wife even got to talk to him for about 45 minutes, although they were separated by glass. the leader of hamas says the militant group has the right to defend gaza from invading israeli forces. khalid meshaal sat down for an

exclusive interview with cnn in qatar. nic robertson joins us from our bureau in abu dhabi with what he had to say and talked about what caused the cease-fire to break down. he certainly didn't shy away from talking about what he perceives as a misunderstanding with the u.s. secretary of state. a pol japologize. we'll see if we can re-establish our audio with nic robertson. >> there was a very clear understanding that israel could be able to during that truce destroy the tunnels. and that's what they say they were doing. they say that you broke the cease-fire by coming out and attacking their soldiers. they were only doing what was agreed in the truce. they blame you. >> translator: the israelis have

told mr. kerry this, but we refused this israeli position, and we told that to mr. kerry and you can even check with him. we told him through the qatari foreign minister that the israeli position is unacceptable. this is because a truce is a truce. but the presence of the israeli forces inside gaza and destroying the tunnels means it is an aggression because they are inside the gaza territories. therefore, we told mr. kerry that the palestinian resistance has the right to self-defense and the right to deal with invading israeli forces who are inside our gaza territories with the necessary means. we did not deceive mr. john kerry, and we did not deceive the israelis. we fight honorably. we told everyone that this is our position. therefore, they are the ones who should be responsible for this. mr. kerry listened to our

position carefully. >> nic robertson back with us to talk more about what he had to say. and he is in qatar. you've got the military leadership, the political leadership. is it clear who is calling the shots here, nic? >> well, he says it is. he says the political leadership and the military leadership are in sync. he points to the fact they've been through this. at that time he was in exile living in damascus, syria. 2012 a similar situation. a long way distant from those military commanders on the ground but he says that history has shown and the current situation is very clear for him that the political leadership, the military leadership are still in sync that they have the same strategic agenda they are going for the same objective. so while for tus may appear that communications between them may not be at their strongest is very clear. and this is why he says secretary kerry is involved in

the discussions and conversations about a cease-fire because he is the political leader and that he is listened to on the ground in gaza. so he's very, very clear on that issue. he also said that they are willing to go for a humanitarian truce to get one in place quickly. the people of gaza need that. but as far as a long-term cease-fire goes, that, he says, will have to be subject to hamas' demands that the blockade, as he calls it, of gaza is lifted. and people are allowed to have normal lives, natalie. >> nic robertson for us in abu dhabi. now we'll get some reaction to it. here's george. >> on the other side of these tensions, an israeli official is reacting to cnn's exclusive interview with hamas leader khaled meshaal. we spoke to dori gold. he's foreign minister to benjamin netanyahu. >> anybody can go to the website

of the u.s. department of state, which was critically involved in negotiating this last cease-fire which hamas violated. you go to the website, you can see secretary of state john kerry's statement with respect to the cease-fire. he makes it very clear. there's not even room for a doubt that israel would be allowed to destroy the attack tunnels coming out of the gaza strip and going into its territory. that was something that was worked on, that was something that was worked out. that was something that was agreed to. so for khaled meshaal to go on cnn and say that was never part of the agreement is a real revisionist history and something everybody involved in this knows is untrue. >> if you could also talk to us just about the images that everyone is seeing about the victims in the gaza strip. how is that being perceived there in israel? >> obviously, when civilian losses occur, there is something

that terribly bothers israelis who see this. but we also know where the blame lies. who launched this war? it was hamas. it was khaled meshaal sitting in his luxurious suites in qatar telling the hamas military to attack us. moreover, it wasn't just this -- the initial attack. it was an entire infrastructure set up to aggressively attack the people of israel. what are attack tunnels about? they are an effort to create an attack option by hamas operatives to come under ground into israeli territory, pop up, kidnap children, kidnap civilians, attack our soldiers as well. so basically, we are responding to aggression. we are the defenders. they are the aggressors. now we hope that the international community will work with us, will work with

others to help rehabilitate the gaza strip. gaza could become a very successful area. it could be completely different. but that rehabilitation of gaza requires the same time a demilitarization of gaza. we don't want bags of concrete, cement, coming into gaza and then being used to rebuild the tunnels and bunkers that were used to -- for the aggressive plans of hamas against israel. we'll work for the rehabilitation but we have to work for the demilitarization of gaza. for more exclusive with khaled meshaal, tune in later for "fareed zakaria gps" at 10:00 sunday morning on the u.s. east coast. that is 3:00 in the afternoon in london here on cnn. in western china, officials say almost 100 people died in last week's attack an the police station. they say a knife-wielding gang

killed 37 people monday. security forces killed 59 of the attackers. the xinjiang region is home to the uighur minority. uighur groups say aggressive government policies provoked unrest. in eastern china, the worst industrial accident the country has seen in one year. a wheel making factory exploded saturday killing at least 69 people. 120 were injured. officials say the blast was triggered when flames ignited dust in a wheel hub polishing facility. today the world is focused on the deadly ebola virus. less than 40 years ago, no one even knew about it. >> up next, the story of ebola's first victim and why there's still no cure.

i didn't kill her, david. and i voted for decisive military action. ♪ america, you cast your votes. now, go to xfinity on demand and select the people's hotlist to see this summer's top 100 shows and movies. i voted! well it has some people nervous, but american officials insist all is safe for the first time someone infected with ebola has been brought to the united states and is being treated. this was the specially outfitted airplane that flew to liberia to pick up dr. kent brantly landing in the u.s. state of maine to refuel saturday. >> remarkable video that appears

to be brantly himself entering the hospital in atlanta with little assistance. the chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta spoke with two medical officials who explained how the highly orchestrated patient transport actually happened. >> simply getting the patient, dr. kent brantly from point "a" to point "b" from the air force base to hospital required a lot of planning. state department, cdc, the hospital itself. the two gentlemen you are about to meet say they've been planning for this day for 12 years. you probably heard some of the reports from citizens of atlanta. they are concerned about this just because all they hear about ebola is what's happening in west africa. >> i have no reserves. totally comfortable with it and this is what we do and train for. and it's perfectly safe. >> when you heard about this first, did you have any expectations of what dr. brantly, what his condition would be like when he arrived in the united states? >> no. we've been getting reports here

and there, and with this disease process or this virus, patients can be in a lot of different conditions. so the condition he's in is, you know, what we expected because it's what we've been hearing. >> we heard from samaritan's purse he was in serious condition but stable. we saw him walking off of the ambulance. and we heard he took a shower in liberia before he got on the plane. does that surprise you? >> no, sir. >> given that he had deteriorated earlier in the week, that wasn't as all surprised in terms of the seriousness of his condition? >> no, sir. >> why not? i was surprised by that as a physician. what was the expectation? >> well, our report was that he was ambulatory and stable. >> with regard to a patient with ebola specifically, were you worried about the personnel safety? what -- how is this different than any other transport? >> so our team, like i said, we train and get extra training on

how to transport a patient with ebola and other seriously communeicable diseases. we transport patients an a daily basis. transporting the patient was not an issue for us. we have policies and procedures to make sure we don't do any contamination of the ambulance or our personnel. i feel 100% confident we did the right thing. >> he came in the jet. we saw pictures of the jet and the sort of area inside looked like a little bit of a tent. some passageways for care to be given. when he got on to the ambulance, what sort of precautions were in place? >> our ambulance is equipped with drapes. we drape out the entire inside of the ambulance and basically it's a drape, sort of what you'd see in an o.r. and that's just to prevent any contamination an the hard surfaces of the ambulance and makes it much easier to clean. with the ambulance, we're able to get right up to the back door at emory university and, you know, with a helicopter you'd have to land on the ninth floor

and go through the hospital and get into this isolated unit. so i think the main thing with an ambulance, other than our specialized training is getting that patient directly to the isolated unit without going through the hospital. >> this is -- we saw them wearing these types of suits. dr. brantly, the patient, as well as the health care team that was on the ambulance. >> correct. >> what is the value of the suit here? >> this is a tyvex suit made of special material to prevent any fluid, any blood, any vomit or anything from going through it and getting to the health care provider. >> the whole process is under way again as they are bringing back in another american missionary from liberia right here to emory university. another patient infected with ebola. a lot of what we just saw and heard about is going to happen all over again. >> our understanding of ebola has certainly grown since the virus has come out.

>> it was here in the democratic republic of congo, then zaire, and in southern sudan the ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. >> we used this register, it was early on to look through it in the periods where the outbreak was occurring to see if we could find any patients with a diagnosis that might be compatible with the diagnosis of ebola. >> professor david hayman was part of a team that investigated the first outbreak. and he says it all began on a school master who may have gotten infected after butchering an animal he bought from a local market. >> he was treated in the outpatient department with nose bleed and dysentery with an injection. and in that outpatient department there were only four needles and syringes. those four needles and syringes were not sterilized between uses and they were taken into the maternity.

>> the first outbreak occurred in the hospital where he says poor hygiene was commonplace. within three months, the hospital closed down. 280 people had died, including many of its health workers. >> health workers then began to get infected because they didn't know what the disease was. they became infected and they were the source of the virus to their family members and then out into the community. so this was an outbreak that shouldn't have occurred and wouldn't have occurred if hospital practices had been the way they should have been. >> since then, there have been some ten outbreaks of ebola. 3,140 reported cases and more than 2,000 deaths. the symptoms have remained the same. silent. but when it hits, it's swift and usually deadly. four decades on since that first virus was discovered of ebola. why no cure? >> there are no drugs that are known to be effective against

ebola, but there's much research going on. so we understand a lot about the disease. we understand how it can be stopped. the mystery still remains as to where exactly it comes from in nature. and how it gets from nature into humans. >> it's critical then among other things to maintain a clean and disinfected environment. quarantines and vigilance. experts say they are key to containing a killer virus. isa soares, london. >> there are five strains of ebola. four affect humans. abandoned by his parents but embraced by strangers. >> he's just a few months old but he's turned heartbreak into hope. et me get this straight...
