ebola in the u.s. >> i want to emphasis the united states is prepared to deal with this crisis. >> and ten people in contact with duncan are at high risk of contracting the virus. plus prime minister david cameron vows to hunt down the isis terrorist who killed british a aid worker allen henning. >> the murder of allen henning is abhorrent, sensely, completely unforgivable. >> and now they threaten another. cnn's alexander field is live from his hometown. but but want to start with ebola. the race to keep the virus from spreading in the u.s. is in full force at this point. >> no question there have been a lot of missteps in dallas. let's bring in cnn's nick
7:01 am
valencia. the mistakes were made in dallas but the da is now looking into possible charges against the ebola patient. on what pretext here? >> well liberian airport authority if that is any indication, they said a couple of days ago he might have falsified his health screening test when asked if he'd ever come in contact with somebody who had ebola. he allegedly said no. so there is a chance if he ever makes it back to liberia that he could face charges. you are hearing the district attorney also saying perhaps he could be prosecuted here. but let's get back to missteps victor. that is front page news this morning in dallas. dallas county officials acknowledging they could have done things differently very early on. despite that there is a lot of things they have done right and the public should not lose confidence in this process. that there is a very strong health infrastructure and they have all the resources to help someone like tomas duncan.
7:02 am
>> so we are learning more it seems by the hour about duncan. such as what brought him to the u.s. in the first place. what can you tell us now? >> we are hearing now from the family's church that tomas duncan said he was on his way to marry his girlfriend. we know they have had a relationship for quite some time. they have a child together, 19-year-old now in college. but somewhere long the years they had a falling out. recently reconciled with with his girlfriend taking a trip to liberia in august. and he says he was on his way here to marry his girlfriend. >> so we know that the family, the four people who were there, they are kwaurn teened there. they have been moved to a larger place. do we know anything about the cleaning process there? is it over? how long will it take? >> well they said on the apartment complex, phase one of the cleaning process started friday afternoon and expected to
7:03 am
take days, perhaps weeks. we know the hazmat crew is there. and while we were there a lot of residents looking on, some curious, some concerned and worried. some people in that complex were turned away from their job because of the concerns. as well as students in a local high school. african students bullied because of their heritage. they are being called ebola by some. so clearly a lot of paranoia and fear but they are doing their best to temper alarmists and really telling people to take this seriously. and as far as the private resident the family has been moved to. we understand it was a fait faith-based group helped put if family up. we don't know too much about the
7:04 am
environment that the family is stepping in to but we know they have been moved from that complex. >> thank you nick. >> we've got a quick update here the person tested in maryland does not have the disease. instead the patient who checked in to the hospital in rock dale, has malaria. not ebola. so right now we only have one case of ebola in the u.s. and the test results are waiting for the person in washington, d.c. >> following the brutal beheading of the british father husband taxi driver in the desert by isis. he went to syria to help war victims. >> people who knew him, say he had a heart of gold. he was taken captive and held
7:05 am
hostage for months and killed despite pleas to isis to spare his life. british prime minister david cameron vowed to find hennings killers. >> as a country, we must do with our allies, is everything we can to defeat this organization in the region but also to defeat it at home. and we must do everything we can to hunt down and find the people who are responsible for this. >> and remember isis is now threatening to kill american hostage peter kosz ig. we went as a soldier and returned as the medical worker to help. >> alexandria is in his hometown. have you heard from the family. >> serm they do want some privacy now. they have said that but at the same time they have put out a statement. and they offer respects to allen
7:06 am
hemmings family. and they say we ask everyone around the world to pray for the henning family for our son and the release of all innocent people being held hostage in the middle east and around the globe. he had been held hostage for a year now. he was discharged for medical reasons and returned to india where he did some schooling and decided he wanted to pursue a different path. he did his emt training and have after that returned overseas wanting to help syrian refugees. >> all right. we appreciate it very much. thank you. and we'll keep you updated on the situation. security is tight after hundreds of students received an

tracks. >> so you heard it there. the u.s. is confident it can stop ebola in its tracks. but is that really the case? let's bring in dr. william shatner from vanderbilt in nashville. good to have you back. >> hello victor. good to be with you. >> considering thomas duncan lied on the form, got into the country. went to the hospital sick. and they sent him home and then left him home with his family in sweaty sheets and towels, are you confident the u.s. is ready to prevent this becoming an outbreak? >> actually i am. and we have to recognize there were some glitches, what we haven't talked about is the there was things done really well. the contact tracing. that is being done wonderfully by the local people in association with people from the
7:12 am
cdc. those people have been identified. they are under surveillance and that is the really important part. yes, the environmental aspects, the apartment such as you mentioned victor, that is part of it. but actually the risk from that is very, very low. this is a very wilmingtonpy vir -- wimpy virus. once it gets out of body it deteriorates very quickly. it was unpleasant, etc. we all have to figure how do that in a much more expeditious fashion. but there is not going to be an ebola spread in the united states. what we really have is an epidemic of anxiety. the ebola part is under control. >> well let's get answers. we've asked viewers to send questions via twitter. one from ian patrick dunn.
7:13 am
why is it becoming such a problem again? wasn't it dormant a while ago? >> yes it is dormant because it lives in wildlife and for reasons we don't understand occasionally gets into human populations. and in west africa for the first time it got into a large urban environment in countries where they had a very simple, modest public health infrastructure. and so now it is spreading wildly there. and we have to teamwork get that under control. >> we've got one from our ireporters. from new hampshire. he asked this question. let's listen. >> why are people possibly exposed to the virus allowed to enter the u.s. without being tested or quarantined first? >> why are people being allowed into the country. >> people are being allowed into
7:14 am
the country because they are entitled to come in. when they get on the plane they are being screened with a questionnaire and a temperature determina determinant. so if they have had no fever and no contact with patient, they can come in. this patient falsely filled that out. but while he was on the plane and before he became sick he was of no hazard to anyone else. >> but doctor a lot of people do that. when you fill out a form and coming back into the country, they say have you been on a farm. have you had any contacts, are you bringing in rocks or stones or seeds, some people lie on these forms and apparently it didn't work in this case. so should the tsa be in monro a monrovia. >> i can't speak to that but the people in liberia are screening individuals and i would imagine
7:15 am
people give false answers to the tsa as well as the lie liberians. but the united states can't jump into a hole and pull in a hole after it. we are a global economy. we need to keep that up and we need to strengthen and make more efficient what we're doing here. we can keep our attention up and we can identify people who need medical care and public health follow-up once they arrive here. >> doctor, just before midnight texas presbyterian hospital put out this clarification they call it. and they say the patient's travel history, speaking about thomas duncan, his travel history was documented and available to the full care team in the electronic health record, the ehr. they go on to say there was no flaw in the ehr, in the way the physician and nursing portions interacted related to this event. considering they say they knew
7:16 am
where he was, he was in liberia and they knew his symptoms. saying there is no flaw, is that even credible? there that is on some glitch, some flaw there. >> clearly there was a glitch and the medical personnel did not themselves ask the patient, where have you been? have you been outside of the united states? and if so, where have you been? those two questions are terrible powerful. this is a lesson to all of us, if we needed it. we should ask any patient who comes to see us with a fever "have you traveled outside the united states? and if so where." that would address that question universally and is a very powerful low tech, totally inexpensive way to screen our patients. >> yeah. just having a conversation with the person. hopefully they are honest. >> exactly. >> dr. shatner. always good to have you on. >> thank you victor.

7:21 am
and hong kong is really on edge this morning. massive crowds of pro democracy protesters are taking to the streets again. of course it is 10:20 in the evening there and they are facing off with police as well as their antioccupy opponents. look at what happened earlier. >> about 20 people have been arrested in clashes with police just today. and in the seven days of protest, more than 150 people have been injured. more than a dozen are still in the hospital and now students have called off talks with government officials. our will ripley joins us. will, hong kong's leader urged calm but essential said you have to get out of here by monday because city workers have to get into the buildings. what's been the response? >> well as syou can see the response is in the shear volume
7:22 am
of people who have gathered here despite warn refrigeration the city leaders and police that they need to clear the street. the street has been full of people for a week now demanding democracy. the protesters have ignored the calls and more people have shown up. this is now perhaps the largest crowd we've seen so far in the pro democracy dmonemonstrationsd it is not just students anymore. the same bridge where there is the clash with the police last night there are younger faces, older faces. all of these people here with the same objective. but the problem for the city of hong kong is that the group doesn't have one organizer. and so there was talk of trying to negotiate to try to work out some deal to dissipate the group. but people keep coming from various groups, various organizations and the city really has legitimate concern that even if they set a deadline for monday, these people are not going to leave voluntarily.
7:23 am
so they could bring in police to use force but when they did that last week more people joined the crowd. if they try to sit and wait it out hoping the crowd will dissipate, well o you will you have to do is look at this. tens of thousands of people. one week in. they have been here tonight more than two hours. so who knows whether they will dissipate or more will continue to come and demand change they say they are not getting. >> will ripley. thank you so much. >> thanks. >> just the shear volume just of people but the audible. >> there appeared to be some type of concert just before the show we were watching. so we'll continue to keep you update there. north korean leader kim jong-un out of site for three weeks suffering from what's being characterized as discomfort.

absolutely abornt and unforgivable. and the aide worker was just a good man trying to help in sy a syria. >> allen henning was a man of great peace, kindness and gentleness. he went with many muslim friends to do no more than simply help others. >> heightened security in harvard this morning after a death threat threatened lives of current student s plus former student mark zuckerberg. and the university is still investigating but says the threat appears to have a come from overseas and may not be credible. >> eleven children in colorado and four in massachusetts suffer f ing from a mysterious neurological illness. some have tested positive for a

virus sending people to the hospital with severe respiratory illness. it could take months to understand really what is happening. >> ebola patient thomas duncan could face criminal charges. they are looking into whether he knowingly and intentionally exposed had public to a deadly virus. duncan is still in serious condition and has been accused of lying on a pre flight questionnaire. and that has a lot of people questioning whether the u.s. should restrict air travel from countries where this virus has become such an epidemic. and we've been watching facebook and twitter and everybody is really concerned here we know. according to one cdc official in terms of restricting air travel, it may be easier said than done. >> it is impossible to really control's people's movement. when you have a long incubation period, people need to self
7:30 am
monitor. if they know they have had low risk express your. but there really is no way to limit people's travel throughout that region of west africa or anywhere else in the world when you are talking about something on a national scale. >> let's talk a with democratic congresswoman shiela jackson lee. right out of the gate i have to ask, do you think that the u.s. should ban flights? >> no i don't. you may recall right after 9/11 we had a colored alert. i would put this as red, at the top of the crisis of alertness and that is really what should happen. there should be extensive alertness for individuals coming from those countries that are known that have a huge infection rate. that should be done. we should have a very sharp team at all of our international airports. and i went to one of our airport
7:31 am
s and talk to customs and border protection and walked through the process and asked that they ramp up the inquiries made to passengers about where you have traveled. and then as i spoke to centers for disease control, we don't need to play down the seriousness of ebola. it is a major health crisis. and i question those who want to in essence say it is not that big of a problem in the spirit of not creating hysteria. we won't create hysteria if we are speaking truthfully to the american people. we need the to let them know this is a extreme crisis and the failures in texas should not have happened. the individual said he had been to liberia, had come in liberia and had made it very clear that he had just recently traveled and in addition he had the very symptoms that the protocols have
7:32 am
indicated may indicate an infection with respect to ebola. so everything was in place accept the attentiveness. and what i've indicated is that all hospitals and medical facilities, clinics and otherwise need to be on extreme alert. as a person who's been on homeland security since 9/11,ky tell you it's very difficult to block entry into the united states but it is not difficult to have very intense review at airports, and intense units o o of the centers for disease control at our airports and i even made the point. see something, say something. customs and border protection is not a medical team. but they can detect when someone doesn't look completely well. >> well as far as we have been told, you know, he didn't have a fever or any symptoms when he boarded the plane. but we did mention earlier the drals dallas county district attorney is looking into whether
7:33 am
he knowly exposed had ebola virus to others. do you believe if it comes out that he did lie on that preflight questionnaire that he should be prosecuted for it. >> there is no doubt that he lied apparently. and those are laws dealing with liberia. i would take exception as it relates to a health condition. it seems there are other reasons he came here. he had a girlfriend that he intended to marry. and so i'm not ready to project that he maliciously came or it was a terrorist act. i am ready to say that this is the most powerful country in the world. we have the best health system in the world. we've got to show the american people by putting in the kinds of restraints and processes and protocols that we can't let anyone be lax in doing so. and we have to hold ourselves account accountable. and every moment we can raise the ante and say this is serious, we need to do so.
7:34 am
>> i want to switch gears for a moment. and talk about the secret service. you were at the oversight hearing and had some questions there. in an interview afterwards you said, and i want to quote you here, "heads need to roll." now that pearson has stepped down are you satisfied? or does more need to be done in your opinion? >> absolutely not. the most important person to be satisfied is the first family, president of the united states, the first lady and all the secret service are to care for in the first family. and i see to the president's need for comfort. so i supported his decision ultimately though i know that dr. peierson is a very seasoned professional. but no i'm not satisfied. my point was to say that every person on duty at that time at
7:35 am
the white house as he came over the fence should be fired. the individuals who watched him climb the fence and were not quick enough. the individuals who looked like they were in slow pace. and i'm not in any way casting doubt on those person's commitment to service or the intent but they did not do the job. and in this business it is about doing the job. one mistake can result in a great tragedy for the commander in chief, the most powerful person in the world. obviously this is a problem in supervision. there was a problem in technique and tactic and certainly if i might say in fitness. you can't have six persons chasing one and not getting them. so every person there should be fired. the dogs should be retrained. i understand these are attack dogs and i understand the questioning of whether or not they should have allowed those dogs to go because they could dot discern who was the perpetrator. the individual who jumped away from the door, fired. i would take pains to look at what happens inside the house. but the very fact that he was
7:36 am
tackled inside means that the persons who were there to protect the white house and the family, all of those persons should be removed. there should be a completely newly trained team put at the white house. and those individuals should be fired or replaced and transferred elsewhere. >> well we'll see what happens from this point on. but we appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you so much very much for having me this morning. >> sure. so coming up, he is just 26. he's being held hostage by isis. the terror group is threatening to kill him after beheading a british aid worker. cnn is on the turkish side of the syrian boarder and joining us live next. ♪
7:37 am
7:40 am
despite punishing air strikes and pleas from muslim leaders for mercy, isis has now beheaded another hostage. >> and now isis is threatening to behead an american hostage, peter kassig. >> this is back in 2012 when she got a chance to talk to him. what about him in particular struck you now that you think about him in this horrific situation. >> peter kassig is an incredible young man. we did meet back in 2001 when we
7:41 am
were profiling him. at the time he was working in a hospital in triply lebanon helping to treat wounded syrians. just 24 back then and effectively throwing a a bunch of medical supplies in a backpack and made his way to lebanon. and he believed he had a duty and he had received training as an emt to try to do something. his passion about his work and the cause would infect you. ju felt just as propelled as himself to try to do something to better the plight of these innocent victims. just listen to what he told us back then. >> we each get one life and that is it. we get one shot at this. we don't get a do over. and for me it was put up or shut up. the way i saw it. i didn't have a choice. this is what i was put here to do. i'm jest a hopeless romantic i
7:42 am
guess and a idealist and i believe in hopeles causes. >> and among those hopeless causes was of course this desire do more for these syrian victims of war inside syria. shortly after we met him and i stayed in touch with peter up until his abduction nearly a year ago he had set up his own non profit. the special experience process is non profit he put together. and he was working in refugee camps helping the victims in both turkey and syria. he was also trying to help train up the volunteers that were working at the makeshift clinics inside syria getting them much needed medical assistance and it was during one of those trips on october 1, 2013 he was abducted by isis. now we do understand that at some point during his captivity he converted to islam, according to a statement by the family. he has taken the name of abdur
7:43 am
ahmatd. that hay do they understand that peter is great comfort in his faith. >> and we know it wasn't just the relationship that peter kassig developed with the syrian people. it was also the reverse. they say that he can tell americans that we are not what the regime says we are. thank you for sharing that insight from the syrian border. >> a relatively new russian law bans the promotion of so called homosexual propaganda to minors. and exposing how some individual lanty groups of fulfilling their group of making life really hell for home sexuals.

homosexuals into second class citizens and makes it very difficult for gay people to speak out and protect their rights and also makes a false link, a false claim that homosexuality is linked to child abuse and to pedophilia. and it is something that both the state and the church propagate. so the group we gained access to is the occupy pedophilia. but the men they attract, week in or week out are gay men. and we filmed some graphic scenes with them. they gave me extraordinary access. i was allowed to tag along. and one horrendous scene in the film i'm there in the flat with 13 men in saint peters burg when a gay man unexpectedly arrives and suddenly he turns up and
