hello. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world, i'm back with errol. i'm natalie allen. >> good to have you with us. i'm errol barnett. lots to get you this hour. an american journalist tests positive for ebola in liberia as officials race to get to those who were in contact with the man who contracted ebola in the u.s. peace talks on the table in hong kong but as heavy rain falls will the so-called umbrella protesters stay put? we'll take you live to the scene. another partner in the fight -- in the front against isis, australia plans to deploy fighter jets to join u.s.-led air strikes. we begin this hour with a

number of new developments in the fight against ebola. first nbc news says an american cameraman working in liberia this, is him, has contracted ebola. the network says none of its other crew members are showing any signs of the disease. >> we now know his name. he is ashoka mukpol. his father says they're optimistic about his progress. thomas duncan, the first man diagnosed with ebola in the u.s. answered no on an airport questionnaire asking if he had cared for a patient with the virus but witnesses say duncan had been helping ebola patients in liberia before traveling to the u.s. well, the woman duncan was visiting in texas has been quarantined with several members of her family in the apartment where he became ill. >> as far as we know they're still right there. she spoke exclusively with our anderson cooper about how she took care of duncan. take a listen. >> when you were caring for him

did you get in contact with any fluids? >> not that i know of. >> did the cdc recommend that you clean your apartment? >> i couldn't. i just -- my daughter brought me some clorox and we put it on the mattress, on my bed and i tried dirty clothes in a plastic bag, seal up and that's it. but they said we shouldn't throw anything away until they can get with me. >> so the sheets that thomas used and the towels that he used, what have you done with those? >> they are in a plastic bag. >> in your apartment? >> uh-huh. >> so you put -- you took them off the bed and put them into a plastic bag? >> no, only the towel is in a plastic bag. the rest of the stuff stayed the

same on the bed, the sheets, everything is on the bed. >> the sheets he used that he slept on, that's still on the bed? >> yeah. >> did the cdc talk to you about that at all? >> no, they told me they'll get back with me. i told them we are not going to use these stuff anymore. neither the bed -- we're not going to use any of those things and instead they come back and tell me how i am going to get rid of them. >> that was anderson cooper speaking with a friend of the ebola patient there in dallas. adrian arceneaux is in liberia outside the house where duncan had been caring for a woman with ebola before traveling to the u.s. >> reporter: just about maybe 150 meters behind me is the house where thomas duncan, the man now in hospital in texas with ebola got ebola. there's no question this was the point of contact and here's how

we know. a few weeks ago there was a woman in the house seven months pregnant, so ill with ebola she was convulsing, she was vomiting, she was urinating, she was covered in the infectious fluids and needed an ambulance. he helped take her to the hospital in a taxi. the hospital rejected her. he helped bring her back and physically carried her into the house. it is that close contact with the fluids of an infected viciously ill symptomatic person which is how you get ebola. that's how he got it. you don't get it standing within distance this. is not an airborne virus. there has to be physical contact with the fluids but takes a while for the virus to incubate between 2 and 21 days so when he went to the united states and went through the temperature checks his temperature was fine. he wasn't sick. he wasn't a danger to anybody else. he only became a danger when he started showing symptoms himself in texas when he started

vomiting. that is the point when it became a concern in the united states. it is, of course, continuing to be a concern here in liberia. a few more people from that very house have also died. adrian arceneaux, cbc news. >> ellen johnson sirleaf says it's unpardonable he left liberia even though he knew he had been exposed to ebola. >> yes, sirleaf says she will consult with attorneys to decide what to do with duncan once he returns to the country. take a listen. >> with the u.s. doing so much to help us fight ebola and, again, one of our compatriots didn't take care so he's gone there and put some americans in a state of fear and put them at some risks so i feel very saddened by that and very angry with him, to tell you the truth. >> united airlines meantime, is contacting passengers who were

on board the same flights as thomas duncan. he flew from monrovia, liberia, to brussels, belgium then on united airlines flights from brussels to washington and washington, dallas, some 8,000 miles -- >> a lot of passengers to reach out to. renee marsh has more on how airlines are dealing with potential threats. >> reporter: passengers at washington dulles international airport where thomas eric duncan infected with ebola first landed in the united states. all three planes he flew on are still in operation. u.s. customs officers are giving this flier to passengers arriving from ebola impacted countries. it warns of the symptoms and what to do if they develop them. the officers are trained to identify passengers showing obvious signs of sickness, but if there are no symptoms, they will be able to enter the u.s. without being stopped. >> we will have patients, people, they're not patients yet

who come over from west africa, they're healthy, but then become ill while they're here and present to a hospital. >> reporter: experts say that means there's a reasonable chance another ebola patient will enter the u.s. no symptoms of ebola indicates the person is not contagious. but that could change over a long trip or be missed by screening. >> the most important thing they're doing is asking them questions about contact, that's important. but could be faked but then they're also taking their temperatures. >> reporter: in 2012 cnn went behind the scenes on a united airlines plane and saw a routine cleaning. during quick turnarounds the priority is visible dirt. >> we can have as little as 40 minutes and as much as maybe an hour and a half sometimes but usually more the lesser times so when the planes come in, everybody has to work as quickly as they can to get everything turned and ready for the flight to go out again.

>> reporter: longer layover as lou for more cleaning which includes disinfectants and special international protocols for more hazardous cleanups. disinfecting after an event is also critical as body fluids such as respiratory secretions, blood, vomit and feces may contain infectious agents that could be transmitted if not properly contained. the u.s. government has not told airlines to stop flying to ebola impacted countries and united which has a flight to nigeria says they will continue to fly until the government says otherwise. >> i don't think people should be concerned about flying. in fact, i would hope that the airlines continue to fly to west africa. those countries' economies are fragile enough. we need business people going in. we need goods coming in. >> that was our aviation correspondent there renee marsh reporting. now we turn to another story

we're following. signs of compromise in hong kong along with rising tensions. chief executive c.y. leung says his top deputy will hold talks with pro-democracy protest leaders. that could happen as soon as saturday. >> but at the same time, protests had been escalating with activists blocking access to leung's office even for emergency vehicles earlier. they want him to step down and he's refusing. >> translator: i will not resign because i need to tinge to finish working on universal suffrage so hong kong's 5 million voters can go to the polling booth and elect the chief executive. >> well, let's get the latest from the street protests, andrew stevens joins us from hong kong on a rainy day and what is that doing to the crowds, andrew? >> reporter: put it mildly saying it's rainy. absolutely pouring down here. the crowds that were already

much, much thinner today compared with yesterday, natalie, still taking shelter wherever they could. we're under a road bridge here and just people just seeking shelter. it stopped raining pretty much now but as you look out across the crowd it really had has shrunk dramatically and there was that step forward in negotiations at about midnight last night. the government as you were saying offering negotiations with a number two person in the hong kong government, c.y. leung will not be directly involved in those negotiations but the hong kong federation students will be talking to the government. that meet something expect to happen tomorrow. so where we are at the moment, the protesters are still on the street. still blocking this major thoroughfare which takes traffic into the central business district of hong kong. it is a workday today and, up deed, there is a lot of people at work. if you go to the shops around this area, all the stores are open. people are shopping so there is not an enormous disruption but

disruption nonetheless and protesters are hard up against the barricades about 100 meters back behind my left shoulder at an intersection which leads to the chief executive's office. that's been heavily guarded by police. but has been peaceful now all morning and there was a little bit of tension last night with emergency vehicles going in, protesters saying we don't trust what those emergency vehicles are carrying. we think they might be carrying anti-riot equipment so there was a bit of a standoff but was resolved peacefully again. in day six, the standoff continues, negotiations under way, negotiations now is the focal point. >> absolutely. and do we know who will be taking part in this meeting with the government, andrew? >> reporter: it'll be the number two, the chief secretary as they are known here in hong kong. she's a much more popular figure than the chief executive. the question really is how much the government is prepared to compromise and at this stage all

we know is the governor said we are prepared to talk about constitutional reform. they didn't say how much they're prepared to give on that in terms of what the protesters want. from what we know at the moment, they are still quite a long way apart. protesters say they do not want the system that's been imposed on them by beijing where beijing gets the final approval on the list of candidates who hong kongers can then vote-for-the next leader in 2017. they want also the current leader leung to stand down. leung says he will not stand down and beijing backed leung so it's difficult to see at this stage where the compromise, where the road of negotiation is and a lot of analysts speaking to local media say the chances of meeting some sort of opinion in the middle of these two sides is slim. >> all right. andrew stevens for us live there on a very rainy hong kong day. thanks, andrew. all right still to come for

you on cnn, turkey decides to join the fight against isis as the militant group draws near and too close for comfort to the turkish border. details on this straight ahead. also ahead here, a look at a different type of soldier fighting for ukraine's government. we'll tell you what sets them apart. @j

welcome back.

australia's prime minister has given the go ahead for australian fighters jets to begin. >> tony abbott announced they will send 200 special forces advisers to iraq. he says those troops will help local forces there. >> yes, we are engaged in combat operations, but these are combat operations against an insurgency in support of the legitimate government of iraq. so we are not in combat against another country. we are engaged in combat operations against an insurgency in support of the legitimate government of iraq. >> and turkey is also joining the fight. the country's parliament has overwhelminglily voted to use military force against isis fighters in syria and in iraq. >> yeah, this comes as isis militants advance on the syrian town of kobani that's near the turkish border.

cnn's arwa damon reports the -- on the turkish side of the border. >> reporter: this resolution which grants the turkish government widespread authority to potentially launch a range of military operations is based on two previous resolutions. the first of which has been implemented since 2007. that has to do with authorizing the turkish military to launch cross border incursions into northern iraq to go after the pkk, the kurdish separatist group which turkey considers to be a terrorist organization. the other resolution since 2012, that has to do with syria again authorizing the turkish military to launch cross border incursions to go after terror targets but this resolution opens up the door for an even greater range of military operations to include, for example, allowing foreign troops to be based on turkish territory for that very same purpose of

going after terror targets. now, we do expect turkey to join up with this u.s.-led coalition. we heard from the president erdogan over the weekend quite bluntly saying turkey cannot afford at this stage to stand idly by but as this coalition does have the potential to grow and does continue to do so, the town of kobani, the kurdish enclave holding out against isis right up against the border with turkey is increasingly at risk of falling to the terrorist organization. the ypg, the kurdish fighting force calling on all civilians to evacuate on thursday morning. many of them already had a few thousand gathered at the border waiting for safe passage into turkey. some refusing to leave. the kurds do believe that if they manage to draw isis fighters into the town they may perhaps have a chance of if not at least defeating the terrorist

organization inflicting maximum damage upon them but at this stage where repeatly we've been hearing from people on both sides of the border in syria and in turkey, absolutely stunned that the u.s.-led coalition allowed the situation to escalate to this degree. arwa damon, cnn, turkey. >> meantime, tens of thousands have left their home countries to fight alongside isis and many of them are young british muslims. >> and many people are asking, what drives them to leave their jobs and their lives and go fight for isis? well cnn's isa soares have talked to three who are urging others to take a stand. >> something like this was coming, it was bound to happen. >> it came slowly and escalated dramatically.

>> i would say to any muslims thinking of joining isis, isis is not islamic. if you look at their actions, they're actually harming muslims. their biggest victims are muslims. they're killing muslims all over. >> reporter: these young british muslims tell us isis does not represent them or their religion. yet according to the uk government, an estimated 500 young muslims from the uk are believed to be fighting alongside the terror group in syria and in iraq. >> i think a lot of these people that see isis as a savior, they are pushed by political grievances. they see what's happening in their countries back home and they blame the west for their failed policies. >> this is the land of jihad. and the land of -- >> the main thing is a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. there's not much that you can really do when you're sitting here and you see images in iraq and syria. a lot of people might go there to help in a medical way, for example.

other people think the best thing to do is to go and fight. i can't imagine what would drive them to do that. >> we see things like the air strikes now. and i think a lot of them are -- you know, isis appeals to them because they see them as a way of getting revenge or their anger out. >> i definitely do think that strikes will do damage. i think they will break an already broken country. but i think leaving isis unchecked is a bigger threat. >> i think the air strikes might get rid of isis in a way, but i think because of the destruction it will cause, something else will take its place. >> reporter: but degrading and destroying isis won't be easy. it's believed to be the most well-funded terrorist organization in modern history.

and part of its funding comes from selling oil on the black market. an estimated $3 million a day. money that can help them attract even more fighters willing to die for their cause. >> the establishment of a caliphate would be the worst case scenario. if people really bought into -- i think more and more people are starting to see that this is not a good idea. [ speaking a foreign language ] ideally what would happen is the iraqi government would stabilize itself and ideally in syria what would happen is different coalitions will form together. assad's rule would end. >> the children that are already involved that see things that are made to do things that are desensitized, you know, i worry what happens when they grow up because i don't think you can undo the damage that they've done there. they'll continue in that belief. when you're raised with that view from 5 years old, what's going to happen generations from now? you're going to continue that.

>> very interesting points and opinions there. all right. still to come for you on cnn, they put their lives on pause for the government. a look at ukraine's volunteer fighters. also ahead here rain, hail, flash flooding, severe weather moveing across parts of the united states and there's more on the way.

welcome back. you saw live as uk prime

minister david cameron said afghan forces are now responsible for keeping their people safe. >> the british prime minister spoke in kabul where he's paying an unannounced visit meeting with afghanistan's newly elected leaders. mr. cameron says britain has paid a very high price. over the past 13 years to help transform afghanistan but he told reporters afghan forces are now ready. >> these are capable, determined forces, they secured two rounds of elections so that people across afghanistan could vote. and this year again afghan forces have proved to the taliban that their aims will not be achieved through violence and intimidation. >> david cameron a short while ago there in afghanistan. well, turning to the weather now, the first major taste of autumn is on the way for much of the u.s. the temperatures changes are causing severe weather. >> not a good taste. >> no. >> meteorologist derek van dam

joins us with what's on the menu and want to say no to all of it. >> that's what we ordered. listen to this. actually some residents in northern texas felt a 20-degree fahrenheit temperature drop in 30 minutes. that's 7 degrees celsius. that's incredible and shows you the struggle or battle we're having between seasons and autumn is winning to say the least of the these graphics, we have got a line of severe thunderstorms, fortunately slowly starting to die down. all of the tornado watch boxes in the severe thunderstorm watch boxes are also starting to dwipdzle away although it's still ongoing across mississippi and parts of tennessee. houston, you've had rough weather but that continues to move just offshore near the gulf of mexico but nonetheless this is the location of the cold front and by the way, little meteorological knowledge, this line is called a squall line and we often get these with these powerful cold fronts that move eastward often associated with strong gusty winds, in fact, we've had numerous severe storm

reports including a few different reports of tornadoes around the greater memphis area. all of these little clouds, that represents, well, the strong winds and the hail, in fact, coming out of dallas/ft. worth impressive footage coming from that region. there was storm damage like you wouldn't believe. uprooted tree, roofs flying off building, toppling signs and even downing power lines, no wonder there's still 140,000 electricity customers still in the dark in dallas/ft. worth. there was a state fair halted temporarily as the squall line moved through about 4:00 in the afternoon. local time. you see and dallas/ft. worth was not the only area feeling the brunt of this cold front. look at these rainfall totals, we nearly doubled our monthly average in a 24-hour period for both kansas city and columbia, missouri, there's the strong wind gusts upwards of 90 to 95 miles per hour and it's all thanks to this cold front

advancing eastward. still one more warm day along the east coast and that means you, washington, d.c. and new york city but take a look at what's coming. chicago, 9 degrees for saturday afternoon. that's 48 degrees fahrenheit and just want to point out that's the average minimum temperature for this time of year. i think i'll leave you guys with that one and send it back to you, natalie and errol. >> we'll take average. >> chilly in chi-town. >> get your coats out. >> all right. thanks so much, derek. well, we'll be live in beijing right after the break. stay with us for a look at china's reaction to pro-democracy protests in hong kong. yes, plus north korea says it's open to new negotiations over its nuclear program, but what does that really mean? we'll go live to seoul with reaction after this. ♪

certainly glad you're still with us. welcome back. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm natalie allen. >> nbc news says an american cameraman working in liberia has contracted ebola. the threat work says none of its other crew members are showing any signs of the disease yet. the cameraman, you see him there, ashoka mukpo will be flown back to the state force treatment. his father says doctors are optimistic about his son's progress. australia's prime minister has given the go ahead for australian fighter jets to begin air strikes against isis in iraq. tony abbott also announced his government will send some 200 special forces, advisers there, they will assist the local forces on the ground. pro-democracy protesters say they welcome talks expected with hong kong's top deputy but staying on the streets to demand the resignation of chief executive c.y. leung and the write to choose the city's

leader in 2017 without beijing picking the candidates. so let's go now to beijing to gauge reaction to the protests. our david mckenzie is there. difficult to get into the mines of the communist party but the party is revealing itself somewhat on the front pages of the paper in a commentary. what's the latest there? >> reporter: well, it's actually the three days after commentary from the people's daily the mouthpiece of the communist party effectively and, yes, china is peculiar in that often the leaders themselves don't make statements on sensitive topics like these but this can be considered coming straight from the mouths of the senior leadership and effectively they're saying yet again that these are illegal protests and that china refused to change its viewpoint at all and adjust anything that it said from its august 31st decision on the way that hong kong will run its elections so certainly on the

side of beijing they are refusing to budge. >> so no sign from them on bending this or -- do we know if they'll have any input on this meeting that's going to take place there in hong kong with some of the protesters? >> reporter: well, natalie, while it's clear that they're trying to distance themselves a little bit from this dispute in hong kong by saying this is all part of the hong kong's government's responsibilities and they trust c.y. leung, the chief executive to take care of these issues, nobody really assumes that they're not deeply involved in every matter here when it comes to what the leadership in hong kong is doing and there's this invisible hand of beijing involved probably in most senior decisions that are occurring, so there is a way for china to kind of save face and potentially give in not necessarily on the demands but

at least to show that they're listening to the protesters in hong kong because that's often what we've been hearing on the streets. the sense that the protesters are saying they're not getting any sense that anyone cares or listens to what they have to say so at least this opens a crack in the door. these potential negotiations or discussions, though it's unclear how it will all play out. it seems china at least is going to just play this waiting game and hope that the protests eventually fizzle out, natalie. >> yes, many of them saying they're not going anywhere so we'll see if, in fact, they do. what's the sense, david, or what are some of the comments you're hearing from people there in beijing that the citizens there that are watching what's going on in hong kong? >> reporter: well, this is a massive country with a huge population and there's obviously no way for me to give a broad assessment of how chinese on the mainland are thinking about this. one way it's hard for them to gauge exactly what is going on

is that there's been very limited coverage of this in the state media certainly most of the coverage has been around the fact that these are illegal protests, but there hasn't been a broad discussion on this like there isn't on any real controversial topic unless people really make the effort to either work around it to discuss it. those who know about it are interested in it. some would feel this is a protest that's showing that these young people in hong kong are pushing for freedom and they sympathize wit. others have said that really, you know, what are they complaining about? they have a free and open system and dynamic economy, so, you know, the opinions would reflect the broad scope of opinions that you would see in hong kong itself, as well. natalie. >> david mckenzie live for us in beijing, thank you, david. >> now we want to bring you another view of hong kong

protests that you probably haven't seen before. take a look at this. the pro-democracy demonstrators have been out on the streets for nearly a week now. >> and as this time lapse video shows it's been around the clock operation with the crowds building into the evening, followed by assorted shift change at daybreak. >> all right. we are keeping our focus in the region. north korea says it's ready to resume nuclear talks, yeah, that's right. ready to resume nuclear talks. that's what the ambassador said to routeers in a rare interview happening on thursday. he also said the country is not planning a nuclear test or a missile test. our paula hancocks joins us live fro seoul, south korea. what do you make of these new comments about the country's ambassador? >> reporter: well, errol, we've been seeing a bit of a charm offensive from the north koreans recently. it's clear they would like some kind of negotiations. we've heard they would like these six-party talks to continue or at least to resume.

they haven't been going since 2008 and this is what we're hearing once again from so se pyung and says russia and north korea and china is ready to start the talks, it's just the united states and air allies which are holding things back. we did hear from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. he just met with his north korean counterpart and said it was possible these six-party talks could resume soon so this isn't coming out of nowhere. it's certainly the sense among many experts and those that observe north korea closely that pyongyang wants to re-engage with the world at this point. that's what we've been seeing from the different things they have been carrying out. and it's interesting that they also said that they weren't going to carry out more nuclear tests or missile tests not in the short term. we did have a report from the u.s. think tank 38 north saying they've just upgraded their satellite launching pads so this is a station on the west coast

where they have launched rockets so basically saying that they have no plans for a missile or a nuclear test. they're not, though, saying they have no plans for a satellite test so that's an interesting point but seems north korea is trying to open itself up at least in the way that it wants to re-engage with some of those countries, errol. >> and meanwhile what's happening with the leadership in pyongyang. we haven't seen kim jong-un in a while. he didn't appear to be walking straight or properly. hobbling quite a bit. what do we know about his health right now? >> reporter: very little as you might imagine. it's been more than a month since we've seen him publicly since he's been on north korean state television. there was an interesting memorandum from the state-run news television saying he was suffering discomfort. now, this is a very unusual

acknowledgement that something is not quite right in north korea accepting the fact they have to mention he is not necessarily at peak health so this is really the assumption outside of north korea that there is something wrong with his health but, of course, this hasn't been absolutely confirmed. we did see him in july. he was as you say he was hobbling, he was limping and, of course, that was watched closely by people outside pyongyang and many said he has put on a considerable amount of weight since he took control of the country, as well so suggesting that could be a problem with his health, his father kim jong-il, the late north korean leader suffered from gout. there is a suggestion he might as well but really this is just speculation. they're guesses as to what is -- has happened to the leader, of course, as you can imagine with very little concrete information and evidence there are a lot of far-fetched ideas out there but the overwhelming assumption he's probably undergoing some health issues at this point. errol. >> all right, paula hancocks
