the closing credits. it will be the last show i ever do. hello and thanks for joining us here on cnn. i'm rosemary church. >> we would like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. ahead this hour, with the first death in the united states from the ebola virus, there are questions whether thomas duncan received the same medical care as other patients treated in tus. plus, a nurse in west africa gives cnn a unique view at life inside an ebola treatment center. kobani hangs on by a thread. why powerful new coalition strikes may not be enough to save the strategic town from isis fighters. we begin with prayers on wednesday night for the men the

cdc director says is the face of ebola in the united states. thomas duncan died wednesday at a dallas hospital where he was being treated for ebola since he was diagnosed last month. this memorial service was held at a dallas church. duncan's body will be cremated. >> he traveled from liberia to dallas to be with his partner. the church's pastor talked about what happened when they received the news of duncan's death. >> the heartbreaking thing about it is when she and they received the news. you know, they needed to be able to hold each other and i'm used to hugging someone in a moment like that. she fell to the floor in her grief and had to suffer alone in each of our presence. so we were all there together, but we were not able to be together and confident one another. so this is also a kind of secondary tragedy, i think, of this case.

>> all part of the problem with ebola and louise and others want an investigation into how duncan's care was handled before and after his diagnosis. >> david mattingly takes a closer look how duncan's case differs significantly from other ebola patients sent to the united states for treatment. >> reporter: thomas eric duncan's death leaves a trial behind of ebola prevention that is more than 5,000 miles long. officials didn't suspect the sick woman in liberia was infected with ebola until after duncan was in the united states. five days after his arrival, an ailing duncan goes to the hospital in dallas and tells them of his recent travel from africa. but they just give him antibiotics and send him home. >> regretfully, that information was not fully communicated throughout the full team. as a result, the full import of

that information wasn't factored into the clinical decision making. >> reporter: duncan spends three days potentially exposing others before he's back, even sicker this time in the hospital. it takes two days to confirm he's infected with ebola. his case is a sharp contrast to dr. kent brantley and nancy, both diagnosed in africa and given an experimental drug zmapp and flown to the united states in quarantine. the drug seemed to work. >> what a great, great nursing staff and what great doctors. >> you treated me with expertise, yet with such tenderness and compassion. >> reporter: duncan was in the hospital for nine days when his girlfriend speaks from quarantine begging that he get the same experimental drug. >> i thank god that they're --

[ indiscernible ] >> reporter: but si plies of zmapp are depleted. duncan was given a different experimental drug already in serious condition. his status doesn't improve. blood transfusions from ebola survivors are also believed to provide antibodies to those fighting the disease. dr. kent brantley gave blood to an nbc cameraman and blood to an infected doctor who has recovered. both confirm they agreed to also give blood to duncan, but it only work it is their blood types match. now it no longer ma eer matters. >> today we are deeply saddened by the death of the patient in dallas. >> reporter: duncan's case ends with the worst possible outcome. brantley was out of the hospital in 19 days. after finally being admitted, duncan died in 11.

david mattingly, cnn, atlanta. >> of course, the question is if he was admitted on the first visit to the hospital, would he have survived. >> we can't say. it's not possible to answer that. >> that's a scare on wednesday. a texas health official says there's no second ebola case in dallas. >> a sheriff's deputy was hospitalized with ebola-like symptoms, but the health official says he had no direct contact with thomas duncan, does not have a fever, and has no risk of ebola. >> he was a first responder to the apartment where duncan was staying, but apparently he wasn't there for long. >> we were told by federal officials, county officials that he would have to come in direct contact with duncan or direct contact with bodily fluids and he did not. he was in the apartment for maybe 30 minutes, which we're told is no chance to contract the virus. >> the main focus of the ebola

outbreak remains in west africa where more than 8,000 suspected confirmed cases are reported and more than 3800 have died from ebola. >> health officials complain the response has been too slow, but there are new resources on the way. the u.s. military will complete a 25-bed hospital in liberia's hospital by friday and set up mobile testing labs in liberia, and the uk is sending 750 troops to sierra leone. >> the fatality rate is so high because of a health system overwhelmed by this epidemic. conditions are dire in liberia where patients often don't even have a bed. >> we take you inside the facility as seen through the eyes of a medical worker. >> reporter: blood spattered and limp, too weak to hold up his head.

a nurse struggles under the weight offen ill patient. the nurse agreeing to wear a camera to give us a glimpse of the reality he witnesses daily. today, the nurse managed to get this patient to drink water. it's a small victory. for the last few months, the doctor and his team have worn their protective suits in unbearable heat. >> life is rough. and then you die. what else can we do? if we don't do it who will do it for us? we have to take the risk and take care of the patients, or else our country will be wiped away. to work here is highly dangerous. you have so many patients crying in pain. some are dying. some patients need help. some patients cannot move any longer. you see some patients you cannot do anything for them. they are dying and you watch them dying and you pray for

them. you just hope that something miraculous happens. >> reporter: dr. moses got one day's training before going here, and he said that's typical here. in a health care system struggling to cope. you do what you need here to survive. the nurse forgets the camera for a moment and begins to mum a hymn to himself. a comfort amidst the grimness. an ambulance has arrived bringing more patients. it begins again. there is no room, so the stretcher goes on the floor for now. next to a mattress, another critical patient lies. here there are two patients for every bed. more patients. it is unimaginably unrelenting.

but there are the success stories. and that's what sustains the staff. around the back of the ebola ward, patients spot the camera and begin the wave. they're recovering, maybe even going home soon. but for the staff, there is no end in sight. what happens when you go home at the end of the day? >> i get prepared for another day. >> reporter: and another day. and another day. until their prayers are finally answered. cnn, monrovia. >> the conditions are just shocking, and those doctors and nurses are heroes in the midst of all of this as they fight to these give some comfort for these people. there aren't a lot of people that recover. >> the u.s. is sending 4,000 troops that could be in west africa for up to a year to deal

with this. >> let's take a very short break. just ahead, u.s. officials announce new airport screening measures to stop the virus before it enters the country. much more on that in the next half hour. up next, u.s. air strikes hit isis targets, but the pentagon says it's prepared to let kobani fall to isis. now centrum silver has a new easy-to-swallow coating... so the nutrients for your eyes, heart and brain go down easier. for a limited time, get your four-dollar coupon at centrum.com. revolutionary by every standard. and that became our passion. to always build something better, airplanes that fly cleaner and farther on less fuel. that redefine comfort and connect the world like never before. after all, you can't turn dreams into airplanes unless your passion for innovation is nonstop.

welcome back, everyone. u.s. central command says it believes kurdish militia still control kobani, but officials are warning u.s.-led air strikes are not going to save the town. >> u.s. military says eight air strikes were carried out near kobani wednesday destroying armed vehicles, and a command and control compound. our report now from arwa damon on the turkey-syria border. >> reporter: we're still hearing the fighter jets overhead. up until the sun went down, two of them clearly visible in the skies above kobani. we've been hearing them throughout the day. we saw three coalition air strikes. we believe that because of the sheer intensity, the sound of the explosions, distinctively different than the usual barrage of artillery we've seen taking place. kurdish fighters are saying those air strikes launched over the last 48 hours did allow them

to push isis back to a certain degree. they say air strikes forcing isis fighters to move forward on fight and there the ypg fighters were able to take advantage of their local knowledge of the streets and drive isis back to the perimeter of kobani. but there is a certain level of anger and frustration when it comes to the coalition, because the kurds believed that these air strikes should have taken well before isis was able to gain a foothold in kobani. there's anger and frustration being leveled at turkey. they want to see turkey open a weapons corridor and take some sort of action. the turks making it very clear they're not going to be rushing in to save kobani. they do not want to allow that weapons corridor to be opened until the kurds fighting inside syria join the free syrian army, and the turks are not willing to entertain a military operation or join the coalition until

their demands are met, which include establishing a no-fly zone, a buffer zone, and the turks want to see a more coherent military action plan on the table, one that deals not only with defeating and degrading isis' capabilities, but deal a similar blow to the forces of the regime of assad. arwa damon, cnn, on the turkey-syria border. >> the u.s. general coordinating the fight against isis is scheduled to meet with turkish leaders today. general john allen is expected to discuss what turkey with contribute to the military coalition. >> in not only the u.s., but kurdish protesters are demanding action from the turks. security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disburse the crowds. potential for flooding in the central united states. derek vandam joins us from the

weather center. again, it's that southern part of the u.s. which is heading for the wet weather and the flash floods. >> even the foot range of the colorado rockies as well, thanks to the remnants of what was tropical storm simon across the southwestern parts of the united states and parts of mexico earlier in the workweek. this is the latest. we have contrasting temperatures across the country, thanks to what is called a stationary boundary setting up across the central parts of the united states. very cool, autumn-like weather to the north and funneling in this moisture from the remnants of simon and gulf of mexico moisture and the result is heavy rainfall and the pos pillabilsi flooding. you can just see some of that moisture streaming in from the

remnants of tropical storm simon. how much rainfall you ask? good thing you ask, two to three inches near kansas city. the front range of the colorado rockies, more of the same. just enough for the national weather service to issue the flash flood watches east of denver and the greater kansas city area. so we'll be monitoring that. i talked about the clash of seasons. look at the temperature difference between chicago and atlanta, where the cnn world weather senter is located. daytime highs through the early parts of the weekend. lower 50s. we should be about 66 this year. atlanta, hot and muggy. 75 is your average. you'll top 85 this thursday afternoon. i want to leave you with this. did you wake up early this morning to see the blood moon that took place across the planet? take a look at some of these visuals coming across the world.

just absolutely stunning. this is the second time the blood moon has occurred this year, and that's another two more opportunities to see that. in hollywood, they call that a quaudrilogy. that red blglow, the sunlight being bent around the moonlight. this is not the apocalyptic blood moon. >> are you sure? >> i'm positive. >> i thought it was the apocalypse last time and it didn't happen. that was back in april, remember? >> there's two more. >> i thought it was all coming to an end. >> thanks, derek. coming up here on cnn, the judge in nfl player adrian peterson's child abuse case is

apologizing for calling the attorneys media whores. now that remark could delay the trial. a teenager was pepper sprayed in the face, trying to enter his own home when they thought he was a burglar. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

and welcome back to cnn. live from our global headquarters here in atlanta. >> let's check the headlines this hour. the first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states has died. thomas eric duncan fell ill in mid september after arriving from liberia. a texas health official says there is no risk of ebola for a sheriff's deputy hospitalized wednesday with ebola-like symptoms. the kurdish militia are holding back isis militants in kobani. kurdish officials say air

strikes on wednesday helped push some isis fighters back to the edges of kobani. the fbi says it's reviewing hundreds of new tips in its manhunt when an isis militant shown in one of the group's videos. they suspect the man is from north america because of his accent. the video appears to show him leading the mass shooting of syrian soldiers. a spanish nurse's assistant, the first person to contract ebola outside africa, was diagnosed almost a week after first seeking medical attention. >> five others are now in the same hospital under observation, as spaniards fear a possible outbreak. >> reporter: loud and clear. these protesters were not budging. they gathered to try to save the life of excalibur, the pet dog of the infected nurse theresa

and her husband javier, both in the hospital. we're here to see what protocol they will follow, they tell me, because something is failing in the security protocol. but it was to no avail. health authorities announced that excalibur had been put down, saying the dog represented a possible risk of transmission of ebola to humans. people telling me they fear for their health, worried to leave the house, fearing their children and their pets will catch ebola. and as theresa lies in hospital with ebola, tensions rise. and finger pointing begins. they shouldn't have given her a holiday straight away, tells me this woman. she should have stayed in observation. instead, they left her free so

she could kill us while she waited at the hospital. soon, the scars of protest are marked by anger and fear. this has got out of hand tells me this neighbor. now i have to go to the same hospital on the 20th of this month and this scares me even if they have everything clean. my friend says she takes the stairs, not the lift. others too prefer to keep their distance, watching all from the safety of their homes. but some have a different perspective. this is a distraction tells me this man, from the failings of the government. some 30 kilometers away outside the hospital, support for theresa. is followed by outrage over health budget cuts and substandard training. this as health authorities say theresa may have infected herself by touching her face

removing protective clothing. the ones in the hospital are our colleagues. as outrage and fear rose across madrid, spanish do what they have perfected so well during economic protest, they protest by calling for the health minister to quit. >> that's also a lot of concern in the united states where officials have ordered new checks at airports to try and detect ebola. >> but many doubt that the added screening will make a difference. renee marsh reports. >> reporter: in just days, ramped up screening of passengers will begin at new york's jfk airport. and expanding to atlanta, newark, chicago, and here at washington dulles. >> these five airports represent about 94%, 95% of all of the 150 travelers per day who arrive from these three down tris. >> reporter: anyone traveling to the u.s. from ebola hot spots,

guinea, liberia, and sierra leone, will have their temperature checked with a laser thermometer. a new cdc questionnaire must also be filled out upon landing. >> there's a 21-day incubation period. people may not have a fever and when a case comes through, people are going to ask, we had this temperature screening set up, why did this happen? it's predictable that it will happen. >> reporter: similar screening is already in place. the goal of these new u.s. checks is to identify passengers, airport officials missed or who developed symptoms while traveling. >> this is an additional area of screening that can be targeted that will enhance security and minimize disruption to the public. >> reporter: the ramped up procedures will not begin until saturday. the reason for the delay, they

have to get the staff in place and customs officers have to be briefed and trained on the new procedures. renee marsh, cnn, dulles international airport. >> in the coming hours, leaders from seierra leone, guinea and liberia will address the crisis. foundation announced $50 million to help with the ebola response. >> the money will go to buy supplies and improve emergency operations. >> i think we need to move supplies very quickly and educate communities very quickly on how to make sure they don't contract ebola. we need to draw blood from people who have had ebola and recovered from it to use their

blood to give those to other people. and then back home, we need to be working on the right drugs and vaccines for a long-term strategy against ebola, as well. >> this is the gates' foundation's largest emergency grant ever. we want to turn to another big story we're watching here on cnn. the mother of the latest american threatened by isis is reaching out to the militant group on twitter. and peter kassig was kidnapped last year. on wednesday, his mom tweeted the isis leader directly saying in part, i am an old woman, and this is my only child. my husband and i are only our own with no help from the government. she then asks how she can get in touch with him. just a few hours ago, paula kassig and her husband attended a vigil for her son at the

college he attended in indiana. >> what are they going through? >> just awful. >> while they're dealing with that, the battle between isis and coalition forces are still raging. militants claim they shot down an iraqi army helicopter north of baghdad. the group posted pictures online showing its charred remains. we can't confirm its authenticity. u.s. military planners admit air strikes won't be enough. they need help from ground forces like the iraqi army. >> one group that can play an important role is known as the sunni awakening. ben wedeman explains. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: if the isis tide in iraq is to be turned, it's men like these in anbar province who will be key.

they're members of the so-called sunni awakening. they played a critical role during the american surge to crush the insurgency, paid by the united states, they fought and temporarily subdued al qaeda in iraq. but when the americans left in late 2011, support from the baghdad government dried up and many have since gone over to isis. this is the leader of what's left of the sunni awakening. "we were at our height during the american presence he recalls, but when the americans left, responsibility for the sunni awakening past to the iraqi army. we had 103,000 men, but that

number evaporated to just 34,000." he has escaped repeated attempts on his life by his many opponents. he concedes in his native anbar province, active isis opponents are in the minority. most of the tribes have moved away from the sunni awakening, he says. they're afraid to confront isis. if they say they're with us, they and their homes will be targeted. most of the tribes are sitting on the fence. or have sided with isis, which was quick to post pictures on the internet of tribal leaders in anbar swearing allegiance to the islamic state. isis now controls most of anbar. sunni awakening members are caught between a rock and a very

hard place. underscored by this chilling video which isis militants dressed as iraqi soldiers break into the home of a local leader. they're forced to dig their grooifs, but not before he gives this statement under obvious duress. i advise anyone in the sunni awakening, he says, to give themselves up and stop their work. [ gunfire ] their work, however, could make the difference between success and catastrophe in iraq. ben wedeman, cnn, baghdad. still to come here on cnn, on the eve of critical talks between protesters in the hong kong government, the chief executive is facing questions over undisclosed payment. we are live in hong kong. plus, two major weather systems will greatly impact parts of asia.

meteorologist eric vandam is keeping tabs on them. we'll check in with him. fact. every time you take advil you're taking the medicine doctors recommend most for joint pain. more than the medicine in aleve or tylenol. the medicine in advil is the number one doctor recommendation for joint pain. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil

in hong kong, pro-democracy rallies are waning less than two weeks after they began. andrew stevens is with us from hong kong. andrew, we are hearing about trouble brewing for hong kong's

chief executive over revelations that he received large payments from an australian company. what are the details? and what are we to make of the timing of this new information given that protesters have been calling for his resignation? >> reporter: certainly the timing is an embarrassment, and you're right, the protesters have, from day one, demanded his resignation. what's happened in the last 24 hours is that it's come to light that the chief executive received a payment of just slightly less than $6.5 million when he was chairman of a company. that company was sold, and he took that money or was offered that money as a noncompete clause. so basically the company that bought his company paid him off so he wouldn't start as a rival. this happened before he became the chief executive, but the payments were made, staggered payments were made after he was,

indeed, elected to buy this nominating committee in 2012 as the chief executive. so he hasn't done anything wrong legally at least. he wasn't legally obliged to reveal the payment, how much he actually made from this. they have said -- his office has been saying indeed that it was all in accordance with hong kong law. the timing is interesting, because it's a highly politicized situation here in hong kong. so opposition are using whatever they can to try to bring him down to embarrass him. there are suggestions perhaps that beijing might be behind this. there's certainly no evidence of that being the case. in fact, one of the main opposition leaders here, someone who has been a strong democrat for many, many years, sort of laughing off that suggestion that beijing may be involved in

this. it's embarrassing but not illegal. the optics aren't good, but the government is saying that he's done nothing wrong. >> all right. but timing is everything. let's go back to the demonstrations. we mentioned just one day away from these critical talks between demonstrators and officials. what's being said about the likely compromises trying to stop these protests going forward? >> reporter: nothing at the moment. what we are going to see tomorrow is talks, not about the key aspects that the protesters are demanding, and the change in the process to nominate the next leader of hong kong. what they're going to be talking about is a little more arcain, getting the constitutional frame work, then talk about the substantial changes. this has to happen, because this has been a process in place for 30 years, since the first joint

declaration of hong kong going back to china was made between china and the uk. so they can't throw 30 years of understanding of a frame work out of the window. so nothing has changed so far. the students have expressed their disappointment they won't be tackling those issues straight away. but they are still agreeing to go ahead with the talks. so i wouldn't expect a lot to come out of tomorrow, but there will be further talk. and while those talks are on, the protesters plan to stay firm lit in their occupied positions, causing this disruption to hong kong. that seems to be open ended at the moment, despite the fact that more and more are getting fed up with the disruption being caused to their lives. >> what we're seeing, fewer protesters on the streets, but just enough to annoy a number of people there, a large number indeed. andrew stevens, thanks for

joining us live from the streets of hong kong. he's been there a while. another typhoon is heading towards japan right now. this is a monster. >> it's equivalent to a strong category 5 hurricane in the atlantic ocean. if it made landfall right now, damage would be catastrophic. this storm is projected to weaken. but let's put this western pacific typhoon season into context. we have about average named storms to date. but it's the super typhoons that have nearly doubled our season average. those super typhoons have to be 240 kilometer per hour sustains winds. very impressive storm system. the strongest on the planet so far this year.

and we have had some wave measurements out of this area over the philippine sea. 15 meters plus. that's five stories. amazing. if you take away the potential destruction from the storm, the storm is beautiful. it's perfect if you look at it. quite an impressive satellite imagery. unfortunately, it's going to take a similar path to what was last weekend's super typhoon phanfone, which impacted parts of okinawa. this storm has developed in warm waters, low wind shear, almost perfect conditions. but it will enter into an area that's much cooler, allowing for the storm to quickly weaken. we are expecting at least category 1 equivalent winds along the mainland of japan later into the weekend. into the bay of bengal, another tropical cyclone. a cyclone and typhoon are the
