1:01 am
welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. thanks for joining us. we begin with some disheartening news in the fight to stop the ebola help demic. the world health organization says more than 4,000 people have now die friday the virus. the vast majority are in the west african nations of liberia, sierra leone and new guinea. new york's swron f. kennedy airport will become the first in the u.s. to use additional screening measures on passengers traveling from ebola areas. they will have their temperatures taken and be asked if they have been exposed to anyone with the illness. in brazil, officials say a 47-year-old man has been tested for ebola, recently arriving from new guinea and had developed a fever. officials expect results within 24 hours, but they say they doubt the man actually has the virus. meanwhile, officials in spain are trying desperately to calm
1:02 am
public fears. a nurse assistant in madrid is being treated for ebola, the first known person to contract the virus outside of africa. we're now learning that more people have been taken to the hospital for observation. joining us live from madrid with the very latest, isla. >> reporter: 17 people taken to the hospital. just to be clear for our audience, these are people that have had some sort of contact. they do not have any symptoms. that's what hospital is telling us at the moment. so, we know that three of these individuals, one is a nurse, one is a hospital cleaner. we're not sure if it's from this
1:03 am
hospital or the first hospital, you remember, she visited when she wasn't sure if she had ebola and the third one is a beautition. that brings three beauticians now. you remember, 80 people or so that they are monitoring, that they've asked them, do you want to be at home, take your temperature and report to us and some tieded actually i prefer to be here, in a controlled environment rather than be at home with my husband, my family, my wife and slightly safer. >> good to see proactive measures taken, isa. questions have been raised over whether health officials there had the proper proet coals in place to handle ebola. officials there in spain are trying to keep people calm. what exactly is the government
1:04 am
doing to keep people calm? >> reporter: you know, they're trying to assure. we heard yesterday, they're trying to assure spaniard the that everything is in control and there's a very low risk of it spreading. we tried to assure them that they have everything here under control. they met with doctors, did not see teresa ramos. it was more of a political move by him. they set up a special committee to try to centralize everything so they've got ministers. we've also got health experts. part of this ministry, part of this special committee, trying to centralize everything, speaking to every single region of spain to rye to make sure they all had the protocols set in place. many people think this is too little too late that really they shouldn't have brought the
1:05 am
missionaries here in the first place. to put it into context for you, prior to them being ex-patrioted here. in july, the in yours and hospital behind us wrote a letter that they presented to the health ministry in spain and they basically said if ebola ever comes to spain, we do not have the equipment nor the training. what training did they get? training that the nurses union tells me lasted 20 minutes, in a conference room where they had to take off and put on a mask. people here are furious. so much so yesterday when prime minister arrived here, many nurses screaming and throwing gloves at his car. >> we're getting word that the nurses assistant, the first to have contracted ebola outside of west africa is now in stable but serious condition. isa soares following
1:06 am
developments for us there. isa, thank you. in the dominican republic a passenger was taken off the plane from the u.s. for making a joke that he had ebola. a crew wearing protective gear boarded the flight to remove the man while fellow passengers boo'd him. >> i think the man that has said this is an idiot and i'll say that straight up. >> reporter: a dramatic scene on the us airways flight to the dominican republic. four emergency workers in blue protective suits board the plane responding to a disruptive passenger. witnesses say the man was coughing on the flight and reportedly said i have ebola. you're all screwed. the man appears to say it was just a joke. but he was escorted off the flight. infuriated passengers were stuck on the tarmac for more than two hours. >> i believe in today's
1:07 am
environment, a court won't find it to be a particularly funny comment no, more so than the person on board the aircraft who says i have a bomb. only kidding. >> reporter: today in dallas where thomas eric duncan died from ebola, a congressional panel. >> if the disease progresses to the point it can't be stopped it's going to spill over into other countries and create a greater threat to the u.s. >> reporter: a top u.s. general is warning attention should turn to the southern border as well. marine general john kelly says u.s. embassy personnel in costa rica told him this story. >> five or six black guys at the border waiting in line to pass into nicaragua and into the north and the embassy person walked over and asked who they were. they said we're from liberia, been on the road for about a week and we're on the way to new york city, illegally. they could have made it to new york city and still be within
1:08 am
the incubation period of ebola. >> a passenger on board this flight tells cnn at no point did they isolate this man or even hand out masks. we did reach out to the airline and they tell us that they followed cdc guidelines. rene marsh, cnn. >> not exactly a funny joke. u.s. officials say they're confident that iraqi brigades can defend baghdad even though isis militants are threatening to overrun a key province west of iraq's capital. top u.s. defense official says iraqi forces are up against the wall in anbar province and some units are in danger of being cut off. isis already controls a number of cities in anbar. >> anbar province is in trouble. we know that. the united states and coalition partners are helping, assisting the iraqi security forces,
1:09 am
peshmerga, the kurds. as i have said, as the president has said, all our senior officials have said, this is a difficult effort. it is going to take time. it won't be easy. >> in syria, isis fighters appear closer than ever to seizing the kurdish town of kobani. a syrian rights group says isis now controls nearly half the town after overrunning the headquarters of kurdish security forces. this isis footage is believed to be our first look at the jihadist fighting inside kobani just across the turkish border. isis continues to flex its muscles and expand its territory on several fronts. all of that despite international air strikes. can the islamic extremist group be defeated? jim shuto explains what a military victory over isis would look like. >> the u.s.-led campaign against
1:10 am
isis working? what exactly is the measure of success? now if you look at the map, isis controls about the same amount of territory now as it did before the campaign started, both in iraq and in syria. speaking to u.s. officials there making the argument to me that territory, at least in syria, doesn't matter. there, the focus is on degrading isis capabilities from the air. that means attacking command and control centers, attacking weapons and its sources of funds, oil installations. because they make most of their money selling oil. territory does matter. they've made gains taking back the crucial dams in mosul. in syria, you don't have ground forces. it will take more than a year to train the 5,000 moderate rebels that will be a vanguard, force
1:11 am
to fight against isis on the ground. in iraq, you have the iraqi security forces and kurdish fighters. trouble is they've had mixed performance as well. gave back the dams at haditha and mosul but lost ground in other cities. u.s. officials tell me that the real measure of success from the u.s. perspective is does the u.s. stop isis from threatening u.s. interests both abroad and back home? the trouble with that measure is something we're only going to know over the months and years to come of a campaign that u.s. officials are saying all the time now will last months and years as well. >> that is something we keep hearing from officials, that this will be a lengthy, protracted campaign. ahead on cnn, typhoon vongfong is towering toward southern japan. people there are getting ready. we'll have a live report. pressure is back on hong
1:14 am
southern japan is bracing for another powerful typhoon days after phanfong. with the details, i understand this will affect millions of people. >> it is going to be in a -- it's going to be a very long evening in okinawa. we have the latest from the world weather center. deteriorating conditions across the island of okinawa. this is actually the second largest u.s. air force base, reporting winds of typhoon strength at the moment, and naha, the seventh busiest japanese airport. this is the area where we're expecting to see the worst conditions of typhoon vongfong. on the latest radar across this area, you can see the eyewall getting closer and closer to the island of okinawa.
1:15 am
condition also just going to deteriorate in the next two to three hours before it actually makes land fall over the southern sections of the okinawa island. this is the latest. our forecast is obviously deteriorating for okinawa and the naha airport. we're expecting winds of over 180 miles per hour. it makes it a category 3 if it was in the atlantic. this storm system is very, very impressive. i want to show you what was its strongest point. let's take you to space. this is 330 kilometers above the planet and this symmetrical eyewall is something to behold. it measured 80 kilometers wide, or 50 miles. this is the area where we actually have a calm in the storm before it actually picks up intensity on the other side of the eyewall. let me explain quickly with my graphics. here is the eyewall.
1:16 am
here is okinawa. watch the strong winds start to quickly deteriorate or lessen as the eyewall passes over the region. then the back side of this storm brings up the winds once again. people need to be aware, even though it will become calm for a while, we'll see the winds pick up very quickly across okinawa this evening. >> and considering that eye is so large, the concern is that people might get complacent and get a false sense of security when this eye is over certain parts of okinawa. >> that's what often happens in these situations, especially with such a large eyewall like that. >> derek, thank you for watching this one for us. we hope the best for those in southern japan. >> protesters in hong kong are sending a message to the government. we are here to stay. they've pitched tents across the financial district, camping out demanding full democratic electrics to decide hong kong's leader in 2017.
1:17 am
talks with demonstrators were canceled thursday, prompting one leader to announce a noncooperation movement. andrew stevens joins us now live from hong kong. you've been covering these protests from the very beginning that began several weeks ago. what is the scene right now? what would this noncooperation movement look like? >> well, the noncooperation is really just civil disobedience. it means essentially occupying parts of hong kong, including this one. this is the main protest site here. they will continue to occupy this area, very, very disruptive to the normal functioning of hong kong. what's happened in the past 24 hours is the government actually called off talks that were supposed to happen last -- about 24 hours ago. and the students, in response to that, called out the ranks of their fellow students back to the central site. if you look around, there are a
1:18 am
lot more people, thousands and thousands of people. it's a bit like a carnival atmosphere here, too. this is origami umbrella making. they've become very much the symbol of this movement, particularly the yellow umbrella. there are thousands and thousands of people, as i say, wondering around this protest site, getting involved, showing their support. obviously, very peacefully, by doing little things like this and writing notes on walls and generally listening to a lot of the eloquent speakers. this speaker is talking about self-defense. you look beyond her, there are crowds milling about, all talking on the central theme, which is we must maintain our protest, keep it peaceful and keep the pressure on the hong kong government to actually get what we want. of course, there's a lot of tents springing up all over the place here. as i say, a lot more people in the past 24 hours have come down.
1:19 am
how long they will stay here for, not quite sure at the moment. the government itself is now saying they expect this scene to continue for at least another two weeks. no sign yet of when the talks or even if the talks will start again. so, we're still a long way away from what looks like to be any conclusion to this occupied movement. >> andrew, correct me if i'm wrong. i understand that the government has said unless the people there clear out these protest sites, these talks will not resume. are there any hopes of rescheduling these talks? you touched on that a few moments ago. the question, how much momentum does this protest maintain at this point? >> even when the numbers dwindle, what we saw yesterday was the ability of the organizers to quickly mobilize a lot of students, to get them back out. when i say dwindling, the
1:20 am
government has been saying several things, telling people there's a deadline of last monday to clear out this area. they didn't act when the students left. so there hasn't been any clear, firm lines in the sand from the government. there's nothing to suggest that the two sides won't get back together. what we do know at this stage is the talks, when they do happen, will be not particularly what the protesters want. they want to go straight to the heart of the matter about the resignation of the leader, changing the democratic process. the government says we have to talk about those issues but within the constitutional framework of hong kong's laws. there's a bit of disconnect there. i suspect those talks will eventually get back on track. it could abe few days yet. >> everyone curious to know how things will resolve. appreciate the report there in hong kong. two people joined in a common struggle are sharing a special honor. how malala yousafzai found out

welcome back. an extraordinary honor for two extraordinary people, malala yousafzai and kailash satyarthi will share this year's peace prize. yousafzai's story and how she first discovered she won. >> reporter: she came to the press conference, spoke mostly without notes, talked for 15 minutes and described how she had been at a chemistry lesson at 10:15 in the morning. she knew it was an important day. she knew they were going to be announced. 10:15 she said to herself she didn't expect she was going to get the award. a teacher came to the class, taken to one side and told she
1:24 am
won the award. despite that, she decided to stay and finish the lesson. she had a physics lesson before coming and giving the speech. she talked about how she felt honored to receive this award. >> i'm feeling honored that i'm being chosen as a nobel laureate and i have been honored with this pressure award to the nobel peace prize. and i'm proud that i'm the first pakistani and the first young woman or the first young person who is getting this award. it's a big honor for me. >> she said, as well, how the award had given her encouragement, encouragement to believe in herself. she thanked her father for, she said, not clipping her wings, giving her the opportunity of education that other children weren't getting. and she said it's important to listen to the message, that they should stand up, not wait for other people to help them stand up, but stand up for themselves
1:25 am
and use their own voices. she talked about the other message of the nobel awards committee, a message of love. she talked about this being an important message of the committee. >> it gives the message of love between pakistan and india and it does not matter what is the color of your skin, what language do you speak, what religion you believe in. it is that we should all consider each other as human beings and we should respect each other. >> reporter: after she finished speaking in english, she spoke in two other languages to get her message back home, the language that the taliban understand. her message a very clear one for them as well, that her desire to help children, to help get them an education, to help girls get an education is hugely important, she said. that the award is marking the

beginning of that endeavor in her life. at once she said she wanted to be a doctor. now she says she wants to be a politician, her goal that girls get education. nic robertson, cnn, birmingham, england. >> it really speaks volumes, doesn't it, that she finished out her physics class before she gave that incredible speech. we just heard about malala's story. let's take a closer look to kailash satyarthi's journey to the nobel peace prize. >> nobel peace prize for 2014 is to be awarded to kailash satyarthi and malala yousafzai. >> he may not be as famous as his fellow peace prize lawyer yet, but he has been fighting for children's rights in south africa for decades. >> maintaining tradition, has
1:27 am
headed various forms of protests and demonstrations, all peaceful, focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain. >> reporter: giving up his engineering job 35 years ago, he has helped to rescue thousands from child labors across south asia, often times putting his own life at risk. last year, i accompanied sat satyarthi on a mission. >> the department and the police and the police take quite a long time. meantime, some people would have been given to the local slave masters. so we don't know. >> reporter: so there's a chance we might get there and not find anything? >> exactly. it's always risky. >> reporter: at four factories, we are too late. the children have already been removed. we come to the last embroidery

hello, everyone. welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. in the headlines this hour, stricter ebola screenings at u.s. airports begin today, traveling from new guinea, liberia and sierra leone will have their temperatures taken and answer questions about possible exposure. more than 4,000 people have died from ebola in west africa. in syria, isis fighters appear closer than ever of seizing the kurdish town of kobani. if kobani falls, thousands of civilians trapped inside will most likely be massacred. and once the most powerful storm of the year, typhoon vongfong is on course to hit okinawa and then headed to the japanese mainland, greatly
1:33 am
reduced but still at great strength. this image was taken by the international space station. what seems like nonstop media coverage, the ebola epidemic seems to be getting worse. the sobering announcement from the world health organization, more than 4,000 people have died from the virus. the majority of the deaths are in three west african countries, sierra leone, liberia and new guinea. many migrant workers are on the move in west africa, causing additional concerns in neighboring countries. a readiness plan is in place. as diana magnay reports, it may not be enough. >> reporter: as the virus spreads, the rainy season is coming to an end. migrant workers set out on foot looking for work in neighboring

countries, especially now as ebola devastates their home economies. >> they go back to the gold mines, cocoa plantations, to the illegal charcoal operations, et cetera. this is not new. it's a very porous border system throughout that area of africa. people are moving right now as we speak. >> reporter: there are temperature checks, ebola checkpoints, if you will, on the main thoroughfares. but quarantines won't stop the traffic. >> democratic republican of congo in 1985, they put a cordon around the area. what happened was they blockaided major roads but people were crossing through jungle paths on to the river, getting in dugout canoes. we had to trace contact whose escaped from the containment area into areas where there was
1:35 am
no longer a cordon. >> reporter: spreading on foot across borders hasn't happened so far but there are concerns. w.h.o. officials met this week to discuss just that, the immediacy of the threat and what they should do if ebola comes knocking. diagnostic labs, medical community outreach, safe burial practices. a template for any country but a priority for west africa. as one w.h.o. official said to me, this is an easy disease to manage if the correct systems are in place. it took more than two months for an outbreak of the virus to be identified in a remote corner of new guinea. by then, the disease had traveled across new guinea to sierra leone and liberia.

anniversary which kim jong un apparently missed. he hasn't been seen in public since early september. kim's absence is fueling a lot of speculation in international community. some say he's sick. others wonder if he actually lost power. in seoul, south korea, joining us live. you know better than anyone else about the rumors swirling around. what exactly is going on in the north korean regime? what are you hearing? >> reporter: we have heard something from the south korean government, the defense minister friday seemed to suggest that he believed that he was staying in one of his homes near a hospital in pyongyang, with his wife and also his sister. it's a very high-tech hospital, as you might imagine. it is one that has basically only treatment for the elite of pyongyang. his father, kim jong il and his grandfather had been treat there
1:38 am
had in the past. this is the assumption that the south korean government is making. of course, they put caveats before that, as anybody does, when you're talking about north korea. quite frankly, we don't know for sure. officials here in the south, at least, assume it's a health issue we're dealing with here, not a coup. that's something i've heard replicated from many experts in this country as well. most people assume that he is still in power. whether or not he is actually calling the shots at this point, whether he is too ill to call the shots they don't know. the rumors of a coup have been downplayed by pretty much everyone i've spoken to. most notably because last weekend -- in fact, this time last week, we saw a very high-level delegation come to seoul. number two, number three and number four came last week, a very significant meeting. that was unlikely to happen, according to experts unless the number one, kim jong un, was still in control. >> there's been a lot of speculation, as we mentioned. number one, because of his long
1:39 am
absence. you know, five weeks since the world has seen him in public. and also there have been these bizarre, contradictory events that happened over the past couple of days, conciliatory overtur overtures and gunfire. what are south korean officials making of all this? >> reporter: to be honest, i think they would assume it's bsiness as usual. you have contradictory events taking place constantly with north korea. they always blow hot and cold, in particular towards south korea, which they are still technically at war with. there was never a peace treaty signed by morth and south korea. we've seen the conciliatory moves, unprecedented meeting of high-level delegates coming to seoul and you had firing between north and south korea at the disputed maritime border, between two boats.
1:40 am
and then, of course, the quite significance violence on friday. that's the worst incident we've seen between north and south korea in about four years. it was a significant incident. but then at the same time, you do have north korea still willing to have peace talks with south korea. at this point it's supposed to be the end of this month, beginning of next that they'll have the second rank of high-level talks. this is another reason that many experts think is business as usual in north decreea. everything that's happening is so simply contradictory. that is north korea. >> they really do go hand in hand when you talk about north korea. before i let you go, if you can, talk a little bit about what we know about kim jong un's health condition. there's been talk about gout, the fact that he has fwgain aid lot of weight over the last few months. >> the only thing we know for sure, he did have a limp before
1:41 am
he disappeared from view, back in the summer, in july, we ns noticed this limp on state-run television and it began to get worse. state-run media said he was suffering discomfort. that's all we know for sure at this point. north korea is showing us that he's limping, is telling us that he has discomfort. they are doing something quite unprecedented, admitting that the north korean leader is not infallible, which is very different than what we saw from the two previous leaders, but admitting there is something wrong. >> so hard to figure out what's going on in this opaque nation. lots of speculation because of that. paula hancocks, appreciate your report. thank you. the international rumor mill over kim's whereabouts is in overdrive. perhaps no question is watching closer than china. while beijing may ridicule north korean's young leader, the last thing it wants is regional instability.
1:42 am
david mckenzie reports. >> reporter: on state tv, north korean dictators are always in charge, always surrounded by adoring fans. so, a visibly heavy and limping kim jong un in late july went noticeably off script. now he has vanished. america's top north korean diplomat recently said he simply didn't know where kim was. >> forgive me for staying away from trying to play this game about where in the world is kim jong un and why has he not been seen in public. >> reporter: that game has been played around the world, but especially here in china. because china is long north korea's most powerful ally, but things are changing. the youthful kim jong un is widely ridiculed in china with jokes like this one popping up all the time on chinese social med
1:43 am
media. they've even given him a nickname, chubby kim iii. many see him as a political lightweight compared to his predecessor. though china's leaders wined and dined kim's father and grandfather, xi has yet to meet the young ruler. instead he is developing a closer relationship to kim's arch enemies in south korea. that doesn't mean china wants kim out of power. any sign of kim losing control is deeply troubling in beijing, because china wants a stable north korea above all else. it helps him counter u.s. influence in the region, keeping more than 20,000 u.s. troops at bay and prevents a flood of north korean refugees. in china, the status quo is the safest option. david mckenzie, cnn, beijing.
