thanks very much for joining us. live from ashkalan israel, a few

miles northeast of the border with gaza. we have two breaking stories we are covering extensively in this special hour edition of 360. one the situation here in israel, and in gaza. word of a cease-fire set to take place some 4 hours from now. a 72 hour cease-fire said to have been agreed to by all the parties, by the government of israel, as well as all the various palestinian factions. also negotiations supposed to take place within that 72 hour window in cairo, which has helped to broker these -- this cease-fire, we're going to talk to representatives from the palestinian side as well as from the israeli side and the united states. the big story ebola that we are covering. a man in strict isolation in mt. sinai hospital in new york, after being tested for ebola. still waiting to hear if he tested positive. he showed up in an emergency room and out of an abundance of caution, doctors placed him in isolation. the missionary doctor being

treated now, responding well to a new serum in atlanta and another missionary, nancy wrightboll supposed to arrive tomorrow. we'll be following all those developments tonight. i want to begin with martin savage standing by in gaza city. what did you see tonight at this late hour in gaza city. >> you know, they always say it's darkest before dawn. it's also the most nervous time before any cease-fire. you're concerned that one side or the other may want to get in that last kick before things settle down, as we hope they will in a few hours. what we have been hearing is the drones, those are almost consistently over gaza city and gaza itself. then on top of that occasion, we heard jet aircraft that would have to be israeli as well. a couple hours ago, there was an outgoing salvo of rockets. you would have been well aware of those, the sirens would have

sounded in your area there's been flairs, gunfire, you name it. has been heard here in gaza city earlier tonight. it went on for about several hours, israel was the one who proclaimed it. israel according to hamas was the first one to break it after it began. israel says we did do that, but we started that before the 10:00 hour when that went into effect right now, all eyes focused on 8:00 a.m. local time, when this cease-fire is said to begin. >> i talked to a u.n. relief official who does a lot of work in gaza, they are sheltering more than 200,000 people right now, some 90 u.n. shelters.

they say they're at the breaking point. are they going to be able to start to bring in more supplies and distribute those supplies? >> in theory, yes. if you don't have the shooting going on it's easier to allow more aid to come in quickly. they're going to need it, the damage that's been done through weeks of war is probably going to take years to fix, and there's thousands of people who have lost their homes. the hardship is not going to end even if the gunfire does. there are going to be people suffering for a long time. >> martin, appreciate it, be careful. i want to bring in the israeli

chief spokesman for benjamin netanyahu, i spoke to him a short time ago. >> does this cease-fire as far as you are concerned mean no operations? or participation of ongoing operations? everything ceases? >> that's correct. the operation against the tunnels is winding up anyway. we've destroyed, located and destroyed those terror tunnels that have allowed hamas to send into israel death squads to kill our people. and so our operation will cease at 8:00 tomorrow morning but will be watching very closely. we want to see if this is going to hold this time. there have been eight cease-fire proposals on the table. hamas has rejected or violated them all. you can't blame us for being skeptical. we'll be watching closely, the

army's not going to be -- what's the word? they're not going to be relaxing, they're going to be watching carefully to see if hamas does honor the cease-fire. >> how soon -- assuming the cease-fire is honored at 8:00 a.m. how soon would a delegation go to cairo? >> i would assume very soon. obviously, the 72 hour cease-fire can be extended. obviously that would be good if it could be extended. and according to the egyptian initiative the parties can bring their concerns to the table and for us, the most important issue is to prevent hamas from rearming and prevents hamas from getting more rockets, from digging more tunnels. we don't want to just revisit this conflict in six months or a year, we want this to be over. >> there's huge stress obviously on both sides, palestinian officials say it was israel who

violated the latest cease-fire, the unilateral cease-fire that israel called a few minutes after the start of that there was a strike on a house in part of gaza where there weren't ongoing military operations. they said that occurred after the cease-fire and, therefore, israel violated the strikes, they have a lot of distrust of your willingness to uphold the cease-fire? >> when we announced that seven hour cease-fire from this morning, they automatically rejected it even before it started. so i don't think anyone on their side has the right to talk about israeli violations. >> they rejected it as you know, because they said it was basically a pr campaign that you were receiving tremendous criticism from the united states, from the u.n. for striking at militants who you said were riding a motorcycle

near a u.n. shelter that was sheltering some thousands of people on sunday killing a number of people outside that shelt shelter. they say you're trying to distract. >> that is not true. we have accepted seven cease-fires during this conflict. we understood the need to give humanitarian relief to the people of gaza who we don't see as our enemy. our enemy are the hamas terrorists who shot over the last three weeks trying to kill our citizens. but the people of gaza are not our enemy, and that's why we repeatedly accepted humanitarian cease-fires, it was hamas that either rejected those cease-fires or violated them. and this cease-fire that we hope will start tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., that israel has accepted yet again is the same proposal that was on the table

three weeks ago. it's important to stress. that means every life lost in the last three weeks is because hamas rejected an offer that apparently it has accepted today. >> mark regev, appreciate you being on. >> my pleasure. >> that is not the perspective of many of the palestinian factions, i spoke just before we went on air with an ambassador, the palestinian plo ambassador to the united states opinion. >> how confident are you that this time this 72 hour cease-fire will hold? >> i think, hopefully it will hold. but in this most recent cease-fire, there are two important elements that they did not exist before. or actually three, one is the involvement of the egyptian side, i think the egyptians are weighing heavily.

this is the first cease-fire that the egyptians have brokered ever since they submitted their proposal during the first week of the confrontations between the palestinians and israelis. secondly, the palestinians have agreed unanimously -- you have united palestinian position that has been in egypt since saturday. and they have held deliberations, talks with the egyptians and agreed as one palestinian delegation on the steps needed to de-escalate the situation and deal with the court issues. the third one, i think international pressure on israel has been mounting. israel wanted a way out as well, and this came as also a way to help this current israeli government understand that the only way to resolve the conflict is to reach a cease-fire and

talk about the political solution? >> the israeli side said that demilitarization of gaza is the biggest priority as far as israel is concerned. and it's only after a certain amount of stability and lack of offensive action that they would actually be willing to lessen control over the borders and actually agree to some of these other things which the palestinian side wants? is demilitarization of gaza, is that possible? >> well, i think the israelis are jumping to conclusions fast leer. what they should offer is an end to the blockade, an end to the occupation before they can even ask the palestinians to consider the idea of being demilitarized. keep in mind the plo's position is a palestinian state that will be demilitarized or with limited military capabilities, but for the israelis to ask the victim to occupy, to guarantee the

security of the occupier is an absurd notion. i think israel instead should tell the palestinians and the international community that they are willing to put an end to their 47 military -- 47-year-old military occupation, and then everything will be put on the table. signing an aggression treaty, full peaceful agreement, but to talk now about denying the palestinians the right to defend themselves is something that i don't think the palestinians will accept. >> as far as you understand, all factions on the palestinian side have agreed to this, even the political wing of hamas and the military wing of hamas? >> absolutely, the delegation that has been in cairo since saturday, includes representatives of all palestinian factions, fatah, hamas, islamic jihad, the democratic front for deliberation of palestine. the people's party, it's a

representative delegation that is speaking on behalf of the palestinians and submitted their vision of moving forward to the egyptians as one cohesive united palestinian coalition. >> appreciate your time, thank you. >> again, that cease-fire set to take place a little bit less than four hours from now. we'll obviously bring all that to you live. when we come back, we're going to have more here from israel and gaza in the hour ahead. when we come brac, we want to switch to ebola. there is now a patient in strict isolation in a new york city hospital being tested for ebola. [ female announcer ] we help make secure financial tomorrows a reality

welcome back, we'll have more from israel in gaza coming up in the hour ahead, i want to bring you up to date on ebola. not only west africa, where the outbreak is going on uncontrolled for several months. there's a man right now in a new york city hospital in mt. sinai hospital in strict isolation, he's been defendanted for ebola, he showed up in an emergency room with a fever out of an abundance of caution. doctors put him in isolation, will probably get results on him within some 24 hours or so. but also, as you know, there are two americans who are going to be treated in atlanta at emery university. one, nancy wrightbol is anticipated to arrive from liberia tomorrow. she's known to be positive with ebowl larks already infected and already undergoing treatment. dr. kent brantley who was sent -- who was returned over the weekend. we saw him walking off the

ambulance after receives this experimental serum. miguel marquez has more on his journey to the united states. >> dr. kent brantley emerging carefully and amazingly on his own two feet from an ambulance. a picture that gripped the country. the end of an intercontinental race to save his life. how he got here a story in itself. days before, brantley treating victims of ebola just outside of liberia's capital contracted the virus, put himself in isolation. suddenly fighting for his own life. the rescue initiated by the charity he was working for, smart ans purse. the corporation enormous, the white house, state department, department of defense, centers for disease control, and the department of health and human services among those contributing. criticism of bringing an ebola infected person to the u.s. for the first time ever began before the operation got underway.

friday night, social media lit up with outrage. those making the call on bringing him here see it differently. >> we feel they deserve to have the highest level of care offered. >> around midnight saturday, the gulfstream 3 wheels up from buy leer ya. 7:30 a.m. eastern, the jet lands at bangor international airport for fuel. an hour later, wheels up again. 11:20 a.m., dobbins air force base northwest of atlanta, a seven mile exclusion zone enforced around the base. the journey nearly over. 33 minutes later, the convoy moves out. first through the suburbs, then on to freeways. the convoy moving slowly, little fanfare at one point. the ambulance carrying the ebola victim even passes by a bicyclist. the disease cannot be transmitted through the air. just over an hour after landing,

his ambulance turns into emory university hospital met by heavy security. at 12:29 dr. brantly steps from the ambulance. the person transporting him holding his hand supporting the doctor. they take a few steps into the best medical care the world can offer. >> he seems to be making improvements tonight, as i said, his fellow missionary is anticipated to arrive tomorrow at emory, but in new york tonight at mt. sinai hospital, that man in isolation, our jason carroll is there. what's the latest on his condition, jason? >> anderson, still standing by waiting for those test results, you heard reports earlier that doctors here do not expect those test results to come back for another 24 to 48 hours. at the earliest by early tomorrow afternoon at the latest by wednesday. in the interim, the patient, the male patient that checked

himself in this morning, he had travelled to west africa, told doctors here that he had travelled to the region, had flu like symptoms and in an abundance of caution, within minutes he was under strict isolation, and that is where he remains at this hour. basically, what doctors are doing here is just treating him for his symptoms. trying to get the high fever down, hydrating him, that is what they're doing anderson, while they await these test result results. >> got to be so scary for him and all the other medical professionals. thank you very much. i want to check in with sanjay gupta who has been following the story of kent brantley. sanjay, do we know how dr. barntly is doing? >> we hear he's had a good day over all. he was able to meet with liz family, his wife and he had a conversation for 45 minutes

through a glass wall. obviously for her protection. the room where he's staying in in this isolation unit is a little bit of a -- like a glass box, and there's ante rooms around it where people gown up. he has an intercom and teleph e telephone. she could see him and talk to him simultaneously, but not right next to him. but, you know, you saw him walk offed ambulance. that was surprising i think to a lot of people given how sick he had been a couple days before, it sounds like things are progressing well for him anderson. >> and this serum, this experimental serum, is fascinating to me, explain to people how it works, what it is. i followed ebola for years, i never heard of this thing. >> yeah, no, there's been a few labs around the country that have been working on vaccines or medications for some time. just to paint a little bit of a picture again, this was flown

into liberia at sub-zero temperatures, strict instructions were to let it thaw naturally, not to administer any heat to it, when it came, dr. brantly said he offered up the first dose to go to nancy rather than him, given he was younger and more likely to recover. during the time it was thawing, that's when dr. brantly became quite ill, deteriorated as it was described to me. developed labored breathing the rash over his skin became much worse. he thought he was going to die. they grabbed this now thawed medication put it into his iv and started to administer it. what happened after that, was astounding, within 20 minutes to an hour, he had a very dramatic turnaround. his breathing improved, the rash literally started to dissipate. the next morning he was able to take a shower before he got on

that prearranged jet. the medication itself is what is known as monoclonal antibodies, they take animals, inject them with the ebola virus and let their bodies respond by making antibodies to fight that virus. they take those antibodies and create this medicine. i'm simplifying a bit, but that's the general principle. what i just described and what was given to dr. brantly had never been given to a human being before. it was own until nonhuman primates, monkeys. this was a bit of a last ditch effort in some ways for him, but it seems to, obviously, this is just one story, it seems to really have worked for him as well. >> it's just incredible. sanjay, appreciate the update. we'll continue to finish the condition of nancy as she returns tomorrow. when we come back, we'll take you to sierra leone where

david mckenzie is standing by where some 700 people died in sierra leone, as well as guinea and liberia and other places throughout the region. one case in nigeria, we'll have the latest ahead. better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at night and when it's cloudy, we use more natural gas. this ensures we can produce clean electricity whenever our customers need it. ♪

welcome back to our continuing coverage, we'll have more from gaza and israel coming up. we are covering the situation with ebola, just talking about what's going on inside the united states. you saw the video of dr. brantley coming over from

liberia this weekend walking off that ambulance, which was such an extraordinary site. he called his wife saying he thought he was going to die a few days before that. and then that new experimental serum he took, seemed to make a huge improvement in his condition. another missionary will be arriving several hours from now, midday on tuesday in the united states to receive further treatment. but the situation in west africa is horrific, some 700 people in sierra leone and liberia, and guinea have died thus far, there's no end to the outbreak. i talked to him a short time ago. >> is the situation under control at all. is this outbreak under control? >> no, anderson, what health professionals, particularly those from doctors without borders have told me, it's out of control, they have an 80 bed facility here in the eastern part of the country which is the epicenter of this outbreak, and

all 80 3weds are filled with patients, they can't take anyone more, and some of the basic things that need to be done when dealing with an ebola outbreak, like tracing the contact people have before they reach the hospital, staying that's not apparently happening to the degree it should be, and that's a worrying prospect. anderson? >> are people panicked about it there? >> how are people responding? >> there is a sense of panic, but there's also a sense of fortitude. we drove in from the capital toward the epicenter of the outbreak. and today, they've just shut down the entire country. it's quite extraordinary. no cars on the road. they said it was a day for reflection, for prayer, for people who internalize just how serious the situation is. one red cross official we spoke to said the virus is everywhere in the east. and that they might be hundreds of people out there that haven't been contacted by a health professional.

that means that this could go on for some time at least six months they say, there's no guarantee anderson, they can get it under control with the level of help they are getting right n now. >> do they have enough doctors? enough help? >> this area, they have enough professionals, health workers to go in and deal with the patients themselves, there's a whole other aspect to try to stamp out an epidemic, like trying to figure out who someone came into contact with. like going in and spraying the hudson with a chlorine solution to stop any more contact and more infection going-forward. it's like a bush fire, if you don't deal with the embers in individual places, the whole thing could get spread out of control again. we thought we were done with this epidemic several months ago, it's spreading into another

country nigeria, and that's a worrying prospect, both for the region and for global health concerns. anderson? >> david mckenzie, be careful. >> it's truly a horrific situation in west africa. he joins me from destin, florida. dr. wilson, i appreciate you being with us. to hear our correspondent in sierra leone talk about the deaths that have occurred thus far, this thing seems very much out of control, doctors, medical professionals do not have their hands around this, any sense of how long it may take to try to control it? >> thank you, anderson, we're not sure, we do agree with some of the sentiment coming from the field, that this could take up to six months. it's really uncertain right now, because of the vast geography that we're dealing with in some of the remote combined with the urban areas that are connected to international ports of entry. in other words, air traffic.

so we have a potential here for this to smolder for many, many, many months. it's going to require the effort of west africa to healthy international community to understand how to control this. >> there's a lot of origins of ebowl larks a lot of mysteries still involved. outbreaks in the past, i followed this, because i find it fascinating. it usually burns out relatively quickly, people remain isolated. do we know why this time it is struck in more urban populations, and more populated areas? >> well, i think in this part of africa, what we noticed on satellite imagery, there's been a consistent pattern of deforestation, an encroachment of human beings on ecosystems that up until now have been

fairly isolated. what you're seeing is really an outcome of human beings showing unrestricted growth, and so there's more and more contact and more and more opening of what was previous ly unaffected areas. we're going to see where the virus makes its way into a major area or an international airport. this is not the last time we're going to see this. >> dr. wilson i appreciate you being on. we'll have more from the region here in israel and gaza. allegations by israel that hamas used human shields, we'll take a closer look at that ahead.

welcome back. reporting to you tonight from israel. a few miles northeast of the border with gaza. less than four hours from now, the cease-fire is supposed to take place. 72 hour cease-fire, all sides have agreed to it. of course, we have been here before, there have been cease-fires, all of which have been broken before, we'll see if in fact the cease-fire holds for 72 hours and if they're even able to scheduled it through further negotiations which are

supposed to take place in that time period in cairo between all the parties. as word of the cease-fire began to spread, some rockets were fired from gaza, we saw them incoming as the sirens started. here's what we saw. we've just seen the sirens, they've just started to go off. we see some rockets going out. you see the sirens continue. frankly, there's not any place to run to around here. so those are the two interceptions from several seconds ago, takes a while for

the sound to actually get here and now the sirens stop ped. people continued to walk around and go about their business. >> there haven't been any more incoming rockets. that happened about an hour or so before we went on the air. the cease-fire hopefully will take place according to all sides in several hours. as you know, throughout this entire conflict. hamas has accused israel of targeting civilians. a claim israel flatley denies. israels had claimed that hamas uses human shields. uses the civilian population to fire their rockets off, and uses the population as defense. randi kaye looks at that allegation about. >> a u.n. school in gaza hit by an air strike. this u.n. employee rushes inside

to get a look at the body count. at least 20 people are killed. as many as six other u.n. run shelters in gaza schools have taken a hit from israel. this is exactly what hamas militants want you to see says the israeli military. accusing hamas of purposely hiding rockets in facilities like these. using human shields and high civilian casualties to garner international sympathy. hamas' political leader denied that charge to cnn's nic robertson. >> hamas sacrifices itself for its people and does not use its people as human shield to protect its soldiers. these are lies and hamas does not seek international sympathy through its own victims. >> if that's true, then how does hamas explain this? just today, the idf posted on its blog that it found this hamas training manual in gaza. we can't confirm its

authenticity, the idf explains how civilians can be used in urban warfare the manual claims the benefits for hamas when civilians are destroyed. another of the group's political liters said this about their tactics during a 2008 battle between israel and gaza. >> they have formed human shields in order to challenge the zionist bombing regime. >> we develop anti-missile systems to protect our civilians they use their sevilcivilians t protect their missiles. that's the difference. >> hamas has been accused of directly firing rockets into israel. charges they denied. even encouraging their own people to ignore israel's leaf lets, which warn residents of

impending strikes. listen to what a spokesman said on tv in july. >> stay in your homes as we promised you and do not comply with the war of rumor as and psychological warfare they're waging on you. >> the idf released this video of the military firing a warning shop. and then moments later civilians moved to the rooftops, acting as human shields. hamas' word could mean the difference between life and death. randi kaye, cnn new york. >> we want to take a look at the humanitarian situation on the ground for gaza. >> if this three-day cease-fire holds, what is the biggest priority as far as you are concerned for the u.n.?

>> security, security, security. we have seen through these tragic incidents over the last weeks that the one thing that we in the united nations cannot provide is security. that's number one. number two the basics of life, water and food. we will obviously make that a high priority. number three, it has to be shelter, accommodation, sanitation. making these areas where huge numbers of people have taken refuge, habitable places. >> in terms of the israeli strike outside a u.n. compound israel says look, this was a strike on militants on a motorcycle nearby, and therefore, they're the ones to blame for operating near a place where so many civilians were sheltered. to that you say what? >> the state department's

statement of just 24 hours ago hit the nail on the head. a suspicion that there may be militants going past a motorbike where thousands of people have taken refuge. clearly notified, don't forget we phoned up the israeli army no more than 33 times, the last of the calls being an hour before the fatal strike. >> are you able to have the same contact with hamas, islamic jihad as you are with the idf? are you able to give them coordinates and warn them about, please don't operate nearby this u.n. shelter? >> hour approach to these militant groups and their attitude toward our neutrality is a matter of public record.

we have found rockets in our schools. the reasons why you were able to ask about this, is that we proactively came out and in a very transparent member, condemned a flagrant violation of international law, as a flagrant violation of our neutrality. these catch shays of rockets. we have condemned rockets flying into israel. terrorizing 6 million israeli civilians. and we make it perfectly clear to the groups in gaza, they must not do the things that they're doing around our schools. having said that, it does not transform a school where there are 3,000 plus people into a military target just because there are militants around it? >> i appreciate the difficult work you do, i appreciate you talking to us tonight. thank you. >> pleasure, any time, nice to speak to you.

>> when we come back, we're going to take you to the crash zone in eastern ukraine, a tough day for investigators there, we'll tell you why ahead. so i can focus on what matters most. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica.

it was a tough day for investigators at the crash site of mh17 in eastern ukraine. i'm jound now by michael, the spokesman. michael, i understand today was

a tough day at the site. what happened? >> reporter: today was a really tough day. we had well over 100 expert today including for the first time, a big contingent of malaysians. what happened was despite a cease-fire agreement, the whole team got out there and almost as soon as they got out near crash site, there was shelling that started to happen. in fact, it was very, very close to the convoy. and then that delayed the whole search operation for several hours. so to make a long story short, the experts only had about two two and a half hours to search on the ground and search for the remains that we've been talking about. >> i also imagine given the topography of the crash site, the distance, there is not a lot of places to seek shelter out there if shelling starts. >> reporter: absolutely not. it is open fields for the most part, anderson. you're talking about sunflower

fields. you're talking about wheat fields, corn fields, villages. a new aspect to the story, there is a mini humanitarian disaster happening. a lot of villagers are coming to us saying we've had no electricity for days, no water, and this is because of the conflict coming closer to that whole area. the fact that villagers who, as you can imagine, have gone through so much with this aircraft raining down on them and now they're having to go through really living through the conflict is very, very difficult. >> i know over days, you have seen in your many visits to the site, you have seen remains of victims. have the investigators been able to at least begin to collect some of those remains? >> reporter: well, anderson, it is a very difficult aspect of the whole story to talk about. there had been in the first couple of days when we had the big numbers out there of remains being collected, and of course, it was a very big relief to the

families, but over the past 48 hours, not much has turned up. there are two sniffer dogs that have been brought out for two days now and there are five more to come. and i understand, hopefully that will aid the investigators but it is a very, very difficult situation that you know, there's so much hope right now. especially among the families. when you have one, two days when nothing is found, you can imagine how people feel. and obviously the investigators, too, and our hearts go out to these families where they're waiting so desperately for their loved ones to come home. i understand large numbers of malaysian investigators, police, actually, showed up today. >> reporter: they did. and you may recall that early on in our access to the site, we had three malaysian experts out there. two from the department of. to have finally 60 plus

malaysians out there, combing the site as well, that's a big kind of boost to the whole investigation. and as far as i know, their focus is more the debris, the aircraft parts. what actually brought this aircraft down. and i know in have been logistical and other issues involved on the malaysian site to come in. i can't tell you how relieved they must feel to finally be there. >> i appreciate the work you're doing and thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure, anderson. a former white house secretary james brady has died at the age of 73. when we come backer we'll look at his life and legacy. ups is a global company, but most of our employees
