start the brady campaign to prevent gun violence. james brady, terrific, terrific guy. excellent press secretary. wonderful human being. unfortunately, he passed away today at age 73. that's it for me. thank for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. the news continues next on cnn. >> next breaking news. ebola in america. tonight, an infected american man treated in atlanta. another with ebola-like symptoms being tested in new york. surviving ebola, one of the deadliest diseases in the world, is out front for an interview. hamas with a temporary truce. is there any reason to believe this one will last more than five minutes? let's go "outfront." good evening, i'm erin burnett.

breaking news. ebola scare in new york city. test of a man in a major new york hospital to see if he has the virus that kills up to 90% of those it effects. he was admitted with high fever, gastrointestinal problems and recently traveled to africa where ebola has been detected. dr. sanjay gupta outside emory university hospital, where another american with ebola is being treated. and a third american. arrive there tomorrow. david mckenzie is the only reporter in sierra leone where troops have been deployed to detain outbreak and panic there. i begin with jason, with you here in new york city, what's the latest? >> reporter: erin, what is important to remember is that

dr doctors are acting with an abundance of caution. man walked in and was immediately isolated after doctor learned he had been to this area in west. here is what is important to know about this. a new york city health department official tells cnn that after having conversationes with cdc and checking in with doctors here, that spokesperson says that he believes that it is unlikely this this patient has ebola. also during process conference just within the past hour, chief medical officer here at mt. sanai, with the mt. sanai health system says that odds are that the patient does not have ebola. but the fact that patient was in west africa, came in with flu-like symptoms, doctors thought it best to react. it should take a day-to-day and

half before we know the test results. until the test results are in, this patient is being treated as we said with this abundance of caution. he is being isolated. erin? >> jason, do they have a system in place. they say isolated, but were they really prepared? >>. >> reporter: absolutely without question. doctors here, there is a unit here that where doctors are accustom to dealing with patient. they know protocol. they know how to treat patient. even with rare, a possibility of ebola, they know the symptoms. if he has a fever they do what they can do bring the fever down. if the patient becomes dehydrated, you do what you can to hydrate the patient. there are a number of doctors here, erin, who are accustom to dealing with a patient just like this. >> jason kcarol, thank you very much. now to emory university.

dr. sanjay gupta is there. a doctor is being treated there. he was brought from africa to the united states with ebola. how is his condition tonight? >> we hear things are looking good for him. this is the hospital where the special isolated unit it where dr. brantly is. he is the first american to set foot on american soil with ebola. he had a conversation with his wife. through a glass wall for her protection. through a glass wall and intercom system. it is somewhat culminating with an experimental serum flown to liberia to try and save him. last thursday dr. kent brantly thought he was going to die. the ninth day since he came down sick with ebola. his condition worsening by the minute. he called his wife to say

good-bye. but he also knew just hours earlier, a secret, highly experimental drug called zmap had been delivered to the clinic. the serum was delivered in sub zero temperatures and with clear instructions. allow the vials to thaw naturally. it would be an agonizing eight-hour wait. he told his nurse, nancy, that she should have the first dose. as he deteriorated and became more sick, he asked for the thawed medication. it was a risk. the treatment worked in monk oos and seemed to work but never before tried in human. not even to test safety. dr. kent brantly would be the first. while doctors don't often use this term, they describe what happened next as miraculous. within an hour of receiving the medication, dr. brantly's condition seemed to make a dramatic turn around. his breathing improved.

the rash over his trunk nearly faded away. >> i do hope it was as impressive as described. if it is, that bodes very well for that particular product. >> by the next morning, brantly was able to shower on his own before making the 6,000 mile transport to atlanta. saturday afternoon, another first. watch, as brantly walks off the back of the ambulance. i became the first patient infected with the ebola virus to ever set foot in the united states or even in this part of the world. tuesday, his colleague, nancy, who also received the zmap serum will join brantly at a hospital. dr. bruce ritner now joins the team tasked with saving their lives. >> this is an air purifying system here. makes it more comfortable to breath in and also purifies the air. >> he gave me an exclusive look at the protective suit he and his team will have to wear every time they enter the room it

treat their new patients. covered from head to toe, his own vital signs will need to be checked twice a day. >> we know the risk is small but even smaller if the patient did not come here. if you don't have anything magical to provide, why take the risk at all? >> i think you've been in that part of the world, and you know the level of care that can be delivered. and our feeling is that they deserve the best medical care they can get. >> the best medical care may not be just supportive therapy. it may lie in the experimental serum that likely saved both brantly and nancy's lives. >> i'll tell you, erin, the science here is just really neat. they are talking about what is known as antibodies. s simply put, they inject animals with the anti-virus. they get the cells that are fighting the virus and that's what makes the medicine.

that what dr. brantly received. that is what caused such a dramatic improvement in his condition. >> i know it is miraculous, untested, risky. but what about everyone else. nearly a thousand died. all of them africans. suddenly two americans get sick, and then all of the stops get pulled out. >> he was the first human. i think there is somehow proof of principle. and the question becomes, is this something that could become made more available to the masses. this is an unusual situation. typically you test things. test for safety. test for how effective it is. then figure out if it can be distributed to the masses. this accelerates things. we know the company who made this secured more funding to do what you are saying. it doesn't happen overnight, but maybe this can help people there, as you say. >> thank you very much.

now the organization nancy was working for in liberia, nancy is on route. back in the united states tomorrow. second person ever in history with ebola to be brought on purpose to american soil and to our knowledge, first with ebola to be on american soil. bruce, how is she doing? >> i just dgot a report that he is ready to go on the flight. she is not in the airplane. they will transport her from our mission campus there in liberia. and get on the plane. and if all goes well, she will be on u.s. soil sometime tomorrow. >> and do you have any knowledge at this point, we were just looking that incredible footage of dr. brantly stepping out of that ambulance in the suit, with ebola, after that serum appeared to so miraculously save his life. do you know if it had a similar impact on nancy?

>> the reports from our medical doctors there on-site caring for her is that she's in a more weakened condition. however, today has been a good day. matter of fact, her husband, david, told me that her appetite is returning and she asked for her favorite liberian meal, potato soup. which is a great sign. >> that is a great sign. and what about the experimental serum. do you have any sense, i know she had a chance to talk with her husband, was he able to tell you anything about -- we heard how miraculous with dr. brantly, an hour later, the rash left his torso. he miraculously improved. do you know if it had a similar impact on her? >> nancy received her second dose today. the indication is that it did not have quite the impact on nancy as it did kent. however, the slight improvements that our doctors there have been

seeing have been encouraging. they indicated, they said, nancy might not be in the condition where she is able to walk off of the transport vehicle like kent did. so don't be surprised by that. this is a -- this disease really can weaken the body and kent is much younger than nancy. and so, we're just grateful and very cautiously optimistic about how she's doing right now. >> and bruce, you know, everyone is rooting for her and wants her to get better. there is criticism that the united states would choose to bring people, no matter how tragic the situation, back home, that have a disease that can kill so many. what do you say to those who say, this just -- this risk isn't worth it? >> you know, i was talking with her husband david yesterday on the phone, and we were talking that nancy and kent, if through what they have gone through, as

a result that a medicine can be found that will help eradicate ebola, both of them would say, it is worth it. what we went through. and so, i don't have confirmation on this, but i would imagine that the doctors at emory hospital are saying, this is a wonderful opportunity for us to do research were find out how the body has reacted to this, and we're praying that they will be able to find and produce a medicine. erin, this is something that i -- i think it's important for us to understand in the united states, in liberia, there are 50 doctors for 4 million people. i just heard that segment about the person in new york going to the hospital earlier this week in charlotte. we had a similar situation, someone went to our hospital. they said, i've been in liberia,

don't feel well. that exactly what they should do. but this is the difference, we have a tremendous infrastructure in the out. so the likelihood and caution we are taking is exactly what we need to do. i appreciate your reporting and dr. gupta to help me and my fellow citizens in america know that this is something that because of our great infrastructure, we can really feel safe. >> all right. bruce, thank you very much. and a very interesting point bruce makes, is if nancy and dr. brantly had not gotten this disease, that serum would not have been tested and hundreds more would have died. so it is interesting to talk about the morality of this, just to think about that. thank you so much, bruce. "outfront" next, sierra leone is the country with the most cases of ebola. shut down right now to go in and out. but our david mckenzie is the only television reporter in the country right now. we good to him lift next.

west africa. world health organization says the disease is moving faster than efforts to control it. hardest hit country at this moment is sierra leone.ebola. david, what is it like right now, there? >> well, frankly, it's scary. this is the epicenter of the outbreak. while people in the u.s., erin, might feel nervous about it, here it is really ravaging the countryside, and we, earlier today, traveled into the hot zone. >> we're on the road, driving into the worst ebola epidemic in history. it is quite extraordinary. there is hardly any cars on the road. all of the shops are closed. just one or two people walking on the street. when i've been here before at this time, it would be absolutely jam-packed. you could barely move. the town is a ghost town. the government shut down the

entire country for a day. for reflection, they say. hammering three countries, outbreak is worse here in sierra leone and world health organization says ebola is spreading faster than they can contain it. the fear is spreading with it. for months, the public's response has been dominated by denial and rumors. while ebola silently kills. as a death toll mount, they are tightening access to the roads that help spread the disease. and they are getting the word out to calm the panic. like the rest of the nation, staying at home today. the elders put out the word to stay at home and we need to respect that, he says. we need to stop ebola. but ebola keeps spreading. affecting more people and wider areas than ever before. health officials say that at best, it could take months to

stop it. there are no guarantees even of that. >> so the whole country shut down. >> yeah, whole country is in national issue. whole country. >> why do people need to pray? >> because of the problem. >> we've been through a series of checkpoint. each one is stricter than the last. one red cross official told us that along this road, ebola is everywhere. but it is through this point, into calhoun district, where it is the epicenter of this unprecedented epidemic. and it is there that the biggest battles are being fought. >> and those battles are fought here in calhoun by groups like doctors without borders. they are scrambling every resource they have, erin, to try and get patient into a contained area and of course if possible save them. death threats here are horrific. around 70% they say. and still there are people in

villages who might be too afraid or not believe that they have ebola who are not coming to treatment centers and they say that could mean that this could last for many months and spread further than it has already in this region. erin? >> thank you. terrifying p. thanks so much, david mckenzie. now to a man who survived ebo ebola. dr. thomas karens worked in the democratic republic of congo. it was in 1972 before the virus had been formally discovered. it nearly killed him. no one knew what it was, but you are survived this. your blood, a few years later, came back, tested and it turns out they could confirm all of the signs pointed to the fact that you had ebola. how do you think you were exposed? >> well, i was exposed because i was working at the hospital there. and the patient was brought in who was critically ill. we really didn't know what it was.

he died. he was almost dead on arrival when he got there. and the local authority wanted us to do an autopsy to find out what it was. so we did. and in the course of doing the autopsy, i pricked my finger with the scalpel. about 12 days later, i came down with all of the classic symptoms of what we now know as ebola. >> so it took 12 days where you didn't have any symptoms. you felt fine. it was just incubating. >> yes. and that is fairly typical with the ebola thing. it can go a while before symptoms manifest themselves. >> what were your symptoms? >> well, a lot of severe flew-like symptoms. classic flu but much, much worse. headache and fever. very high fever. nausea. vomiting. cough. fair amount of rash that developed over time. which led to skin sluffing.

>> how long did it take for you to actually get better? >> it was a long six weeks. actually, several weeks. i don't remember. and then gradually recovering over another six weeks before i was even able to go back up to the hospital to start working. and then after that, trying to gradually regain my strength. i had lost about 20 pound. and my wife was feeding me milk shakes to try to build me up. little by little, gradually getting my strength back. so that perhaps several months, then i was getting gradually full health again. >> then when they did realize you had ebola, you obviously came back to the united states. and you had in your blood, the right antibodies, that how they determined you had ebola. so the cdc, can i just ask you this question, because people have been very curious, why is the united states bringing ebola patient back now. and i believe your experience

was, they had been collecting blood from you to find the antibodies, build up serums for years, right? >> yes. what happened is i did not come back to the u.s. at that time. i stayed on another year and a half or so until my normal home assignment was due. then we came back. still we didn't know what it was, until 1976. we were back in congo, or zair, and at that time the epidemics break out. from that time they did the serum surveys. with congos as well as us foreigners. of the 50 or so foreigners they drew blood on, i turned out to be positive. so then, they were very interested in drawing blood from me in order to maintain a serum bank of a few units of serum back here at cdc so they could, in case of a lab accident, let's say, at cdc. somebody sticks their finger or whatever, they would be able to

use it. so they did that for each of the next, i suppose, three-year cycles we were in the states. we would come back every three or four years, they would draw more blood and they would keep it. finally after the third time they told me the antibody level in my blood decreased so much that it really was almost undetectible. so they haven't drawn any blood on me in probably 20 years, maybe longer now. >> so dr. kent brantly, who looks like miraculously will survive, he received, and is still fighting, but he has been able to walk around. he received a blood transfusion from someone who recently recovered from ebola. do you think that that helped? that this could be the best way to a -- obviously an full cure, but for those that have a shot, that getting a blood transfusion from someone like you when you

have the antibodies, do you think that is possible to save a life? >> i think it is possible. when someone is ill with a virus type thing and we can give a direct antibody infusion like that, very often their lives can be saved. or the illness can be treated. so i think it is very possible. >> dr. cairns, thank you so much. >> yes. glad to be with us. >> next, live to our martin savidge. israel's ambassador to the u.n. responds "outfront."

breaking news. israel and gaza set a truce in just a few hours. hamas said israel fired at gaza moment after the cease-fire fwan began. they said it was a technicality and happened after the cease-fire itself. today a spokesperson said israel is in the process of destroying hamas's last tunnel from gaza to israel.

he said the threat from the tunnels is almost completely null in void. does that mean this cease-fire is for real in martin savidge is on the ground in gaza city. has the fighting stopped? >> no, it hasn't. we can still hear the israeli drones up overhead. they're not fighting, but they could have the potential to do so. about an hour and a half ago. there was a rock the going out and heading north toward israel. israel's iron dome and this is the problem, you lead up to a cease-fire is that one side or the other or both sides try to get in the last lick before the cessation of hostilities. the problem is, it seems sometimes getting in that lot of lick bleeds over into the time the cease-fire was to begin. israel declared the cease-fire and according to its own report two minute after it began it launched that strike on refugee

beach camp and one child was killed and 30 people injured. this is the back and forth you worry about. i'm hopeful. everybody here i'm sure is hopeful. people in israel are hopeful. all of the civilians would like to see this end. >> marty, does it look like it'll be any different from prior cease-fires. all of the people at home are like, oh another headline, another cease-fire, that will last all of five minutes. >> right. i don't blame them. this is number nine, by the one i just counted up the list. so that a pretty high number for what has been a month-long engagement here. however, that said, i believe all side have now signed on to it. that's extremely positive. i don't think we reached that point before. the other thing is israel claims it's done with the tunnel work. tunnels, terror tunnels, as they call them, things they have to get done in the operation. it means ground forces can withdraw so there's less points of friction, less points where can you fight. but will the rockets stop firing

out of gaza and will the artillery stop coming in and will both sides stop finding reasons to shoot back at one another? that the real issue. the palestinian side says look, we won't shoot if israel doesn't shoot at us. israel says the same thing back. we'll see. we'll know in a few hours. >> when the tunnels are destroyed and hamas runs low on rockets. joining me now, author of "arab voices" and peter brooks. great to have both of you with us. james, let me start with you. the israeli spokesman said yes, there was a firing after missile but it was a technicality and slip-up. he blamed hamas but he said we are fixing it destroy the last tunnel. doesn't that look like israel is likely to observe the

cease-fire. >> is that for me, jerin? >> yes, james. >> oh, sorry. they are taking a real beating in public opinion, all over the world, of course. but here in the united states, it appears with statements coming from the white house and state department on the last couple of days, i think have been shocking to the israelis. they felt they had a sort of a -- an open door to do what they want to do. and they have less after blank check at this point. so i think that there is a reason for them to want to reign it in. the problem is you have 1800 palestinians dead and a lot of bitterness and anger in gaza. that won't heal quickly. but have you palestinians sitting egypt and america present in egypt waiting for the israelis to participate. so i think sides are serious right now. and if we can just get people

talking, and not let one act, as what happened last week, then become a reason for massive escalation. maybe this one will hold. >> peter, to the point that jim was raising, prime minister netanyahu hasn't denied a report that he told the obama administration to quote not ever second-guess me again on dealing with hamas. you know, everyone had known that there had been a, you know wab low point in israeli-u.s. relations with president obama and prime minister netanyahu. but is this the lowest it's ever been? if they are talking to each other like this, is the allegiance that beats all allegiances or would the united states actually consider pulling back a bit? >> the relationship is in tough shape. the israelis are involved in a conflict with a group right across the border. israeli lives are at stake. when they decided to go into gaza they increased the risk

significantly to their own armed fortses. rockets, 2500 rockets were there. shot at israel. so obviously, the prime minister is under a lot of stress and dealing with the out. and it feels like they are really in the, you know, on stove here, a lot of heat being applied to them. they don't want the united states to get in the way while they try to achieve think objectives and at the same time, limit collateral damage and civilian casualties. >> does the out mean what what it says. you heard the description of the shelling appalling and quote unquote disgraceful. they are strong words, but also just words at the same time. the united states says here is a couple hundred million more dollars for your iron dome. does the u.s. follow up with action at all? >> it isn't unprecedented. george bush senior decided to do this back during his term.

so it's not unprecedented. obama administration laid heavy words on hamas as well, which i think has -- conduct certainly horrible in its cop duct of this terrible conflict. so hopefully we can be cautiously optimistic about some things going and outside groups getting pressure to reduce the humanitarian problems. >> jim, go ahead. >> let me just say. there's an off symmetry of power here. israel is the overwhelming force and palestinians while they can do damage can do very little damage. and they become the victims. the symmetry is hatched by symmetry from the out where israel gets the compassion, very little pressure. and the palestinians get all of the pressure and very little compassion. so you know, any little shift in that equation, calling it disgraceful or appall org whatever, then causes a kind of a quiver in israel to get nervous. but you're right, erin. what happens then is that it is followed up with a couple hundred million dollars and more

on the way. that ultimately end up drowning out our own message. but there's enough after message there i think to cause israel to think, not just the united states but losing badly in europe and losing badly in the rest of the world. they are going to be isolated with the out and maybe the mariana island their only alley when this is over. >> thank you, jim. and you heard the united states calling israel's access appalling. israel's reaction responds "outfront" next. deadly mudslides in california. thousands stranded. an entire town cut off. these pictures are stunning. we will show them to you. we'll be right back.

u.n. using incredibly direct language, just over the weekend, condemning the latest strike. washington calls the attack quote unquote disgraceful and appalling. joining me now, israeli ambassador to the united nations. good to have you with us again. let me start with this fundamental question. the out has come out as you know and called israel's actions disgratesful and appalling. what do you say to the united states? >> i say, look, the real question here, is who's the bad guy here? hamas in the sense is using, with a we know as a fact, they are using schools, using mosques, using facilities in order to shoot missiles against israelis day in and day out. so this specific thing we are investigating. and i can tell you we won't shy away from taking responsibility. but in a sense, you are trying to equate and this is my point here, a democracy like israel with a terror organization like hamas p. this is like equating the united

states with al qaeda. this is absolutely the good and evil here. and israel in a sense wants peace. we have shown in the past -- >> do you say to the united states though, hey, look, you now trying to take the high road, state department, you all fly drones over pakistan and kill militant along with their wives, their children all the time. do you say that? >> no, we don't. but we say, you know us. we are democracy. there is collateral damage. there is a civilian population. i show new the past -- >> so you think collateral damage is a fair word to use? >> i would say that israel is working in an environment where hamas is using not just human shields but their own people and abusing their own people day in and day out. so any equation between us and a terrorist organization is like,

you know, ininatiininfuriating comparison. >> now i know you had shown me the pictures, saying, well, they are firing at us from very near to the schools. but does that still, again, this is the question, does that justify to get a couple of militant who you may or may not kill when you shoot back, killing civilians who are 1500 feet away in a school seeking refuge. >> erin, put it this way. i think the schools is important. what our purpose should be is, that in these schools, we learn it is a bit unrealistic to have our children, not their children, but it is very realistic to have our children learn to live side by side with palestinian children. this is our mission. this is our purpose. let's have schools teach

tolerance, teach peace with each other. because this is what we want. and if you look at what happening here, at the end of the day, we have shown in the past when we had leaders in the arab world who wanted peace, in jordan, we were out there willing and able in the israeli public. >> do you have any fear that the united states is using words like appalling, to describe your actions. that united states would do anything about it. where it matters. as in, we're not going to give you as much military aid. obviously israel the biggest recipient of military aid in the world, or is it just words? >> i have huge trust and respect for the american people. with joint values and joint democracy that we both share. so with this administration, my respect to the values, that cherish this relationship goes way beyond this one or two incidents. and i'm sure the united states is going to stand with israel

because standing with israel and the fight against terrorism today makes sure that the terror would not be in the door steps of other countries in the future. israel is on the front line fighting foreigners that western democracies have yet to encounter. we try as much as we can to do the best and to protect our citizens and make sure that terror is not on the door steps of others in the future. >> all right. ambassador, good to see you again. still to come, u.s. slammed israel with those harsh words. will had administration back up those words with action? and deadly mudslides in california. this video is dramatic coming from the united states. we will show it to you coming up.

here at timbuk2, we make more than 70,000 custom bags a year, right here in san francisco. we knew we needed to grow internationally, we also knew that it was much more complicated to deal with. i can't imagine having executed what we've executed without having citi side by side with us. their global expertise was critical to our international expansion into asia, into europe and into canada. so today, a customer can walk into our store in singapore, will design a custom bag and that customer will have that american made bag within a few days in singapore. citi has helped us expand our manufacturing facility; the company has doubled in size since 2007. if it can be done here in san francisco, it can be done anywhere in america. when a pro at any 2014 pga tour event sinks a hole-in-one, quicken loans could pay your mortgage for an entire year. truly amazing!

casualties mount said there should be a change in israeli behavior. >> when you have a situation where innocent civilians are killed in gaza, there's more that israel can do to hold themselves to their own standards. >> sharp criticism rarely heard when israel is engaged in battle. >> we hope ourselves to a high standard. when civilians are caught up, it's an operational failure. >> reporter: the prime minister is said to be furious with israel's long time supporter. the associated press quoted benjamin netanyahu saying to the obama administration not to ever second guess me again on hamas. netanyahu did not give a specific denial when asked about second guessing and criticized news reports. >> full of incorrections. >> full of distortions. and wrong in total and substance. the right substance is the support that we are getting as we speak, from the united states of america, and i appreciate it

deeply. >> at the white house monday, a spokesman said israel is one of america's strongest allies. >> the nature of our relationship is strong and unchanged. there is more to talk about, though. the german magazine has reported israeli intelligence eavesdropped on john kerry's phone calls during his intense efforts to broker a middle east peace deal. the israeli government and media blasted kerry's recent diplomatic tactics as unfair. israel will not completely go it alone. the u.s. provides $3 billion in military assistance to israel annually, with an additional $225 million in funding for israel's iron dome missile intercepter program. >> they can overcome it, once the conflict has ended pup during the period at hand, it's usually a great deal of strain. >> israel knows it has the u.s. congress and american public support solidly in its camp. when the rockets stop flying is when government leaders can start trying to repair any

damage in the relationship. richard roth, cnn, new york. >> next, the deadly mudslides wreaking havoc in california, we'll show you exactly what's happening there next. this is kathleen. up perfect wedding day begins with arthritis pain and two pills. afternoon arrives and feeling good, but her knee pain returns... that's two more pills. the evening's event brings laughter, joy, and more pain... when jamie says... what's that like six pills today? yeah... i can take 2 aleve for all day relief. really, and... and that's it. this is kathleen... for my arthritis pain, i now choose aleve. get all day arthritis pain relief with an easy-open cap.
