this point when it comes to the fight against isis but apparently it's escalating. thank you very much, general. thank you very much, barbara starr. i'm don lemon. appreciate you watching. "wolf" starts right now. right now, explosions strike the syrian city of kobani as residents try to flee and isis barrels its way closer to baghdad. ebola's global death toll now reaching 4,000. another case of ebola in dallas. health workers in africa are threatening to walk off the job. let's start with the fight against isis right now at the turkish/syrian border. the fight for kobani is intensifying. a huge explosion believed to be from a coalition air strike rocked the city this morning as

isis continues its swift and bloody march into this key town just a couple of miles from the border with turkey. over in iraq, isis militants forced the abandonment of an area that gives more control over the anbar province, the doorstep to baghdad. ben wedeman is joining us from baghdad. ben, is the concern that isis could eventually take baghdad or is the immediate concern that they could surround the city? it's a huge city of millions and take the areas around it and including the international airport? >> reporter: yeah. anbar province is massive. it's the size of north dakota. at this point, isis controls 80% of it. the worry isn't necessarily the city of baghdad. because keep in mind, the majority here is shia. tens and thousands of shia

militiamen have been mobilized to supplement the iraqi army. some of the best units are in baghdad. the worry is the western side and to a certain extent the south as well. on the west you have baghdad international airport which abu abutt s the anbar province. that was about eight miles from the airport. so the worry is that isis will somehow try to either take over the airport or disable it. make it so it's simply too dangerous to take off from baghdad and that would be a huge symbolic achievement for them to cut that airport off from the rest of the world. but keep in mind, of course, wolf, that the united states has soldiers at the airport. it has apache helicopters there. american advisers are working

with the iraqi army. there's no immediate danger from the outside but the inside is where you see an immediate threat. this evening we've had three bombings in baghdad, at least 17 people dead. this is something we see almost every night between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. and it happens almost every night. so this is what really concerns the security forces here in baghdad, is not necessarily the possibility, the vague possibility of an attack, a frontal attack by isis. but this constant sort of drum of bombs going off in the city, just trying to disrupt people and undermine confidence in the iraqi government. wolf? >> speaking of the iraqi government, are they increasing their pressure to try to get u.s. military troops on the ground to fight isis in these areas around baghdad?

>> they are sending mixed messages. we heard over the weekend from the anbar council that they definitely want u.s. troops on the ground and, of course, it was anbar province where the americans had some of their bloodiest battles during their presence here. but the government in baghdad said they haven't received that request. we heard that directly from the spokesman for the prime minister. and many iraqi politicians say they refuse the idea of boots on the ground. so you're getting these mixed messages but certainly the feeling among those out in anbar who are fighting the isis, they certainly desperately would like to see the american boots on the ground. >> the iraqi military, ben, has several hundred thousand troops. why are they not going into anbar and trying to defend their

own country? >> reporter: we've already heard that american officials estimate only about half of that number are actually combat ready and then you have all sorts of other problems, an absenteeism and so oftentimes when units are deployed, it's found that half of the men are not even there. you are problems with corruption, absenteeism and the ethnic divisions. as i mentioned before, there are tens and thousands of shia militiamen that have been trained to fight isis but the sunni tribes in anbar don't want to see them there so they have all these complications preventing an effective defense against this slow but steady push by isis. >> it's a real disgrace after

ten years of the u.s. spending billion and billions they simply disappear once they get this threat from isis. that is a disgrace and it's causing a lot of anguish here in washington, certainly among the veterans who served in iraq during that time. in the city of kobani, kurdish forces are fighting furiously to keep isis from taking their town. isis appears to be tightening its grip on the city. >> reporter: intense day in the city of kobani. there must have been four or five air strikes overhead star getting a key area close to the border crossing in the city center and sadly, i think for the kurds defending that area, clearly they are targeting isis positions and those positions were further east during the day and then moved slightly to the west. as i say, very hard to work out what is happening inside that

city but as each day goes by, the kurds clearly have less ammunition, less supplies. we saw one strange instance at the end of our long distance lens, about 50 men seemingly unarmed moving from the west where the kurds are said to have more control to the east where isis is more dominant, walking in a single file. not clear what their motivation or moves were but it's hard to define where the front lines are. the amount of explosions that we've seen today, the gunfire compared to the erie quiet of sunday suggesting that the conflict is moving fast and many think it's a matter of days until the kurds find some more decisive moments ahead of them despite the increased involvement of coalition air power. nick paton walsh, cnn. as the u.s. and its allies battle the strong holds, there are new concerns closer to home. home land security officials and the fmt bi are issuing new

warnings about a threat of home-grown terrorists, lone wolfs inspired by isis. this comes from online chatter and recent crackdowns of isis members in the u.s. the uk and australia. the potential targets, according to u.s. law enforcement authorities, even the news media, in addition to law enforcement officials. they say the warning is precautionary, not based on specific threats. we'll continue to watch that story. more on the terror group, just ahead. isis has a new post online justifying its violent campaign, especially the kidnapping of women. we'll speak with an expert. we'll also learn more about how a nurse in dallas contracted ebola. we'll have a live report.

we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm a total perversion of the shariah law. tell us about this new interpretation and justification of sex slaves, if you will,

saying this is part of shariah law. >> what's interesting to me about this, this is one of the first times we've seen them give a public justification for the behavior for which they have been getting criticism of in the past few weeks. they found the need to come on the defensive, which i think is interesting because maybe they are feeling that some people are questioning their brutal tactics that we've been seeing and we've been seeing people in the media focus on it in the last month or two. >> they are saying flatly, if you're a woman or an infidel, a nonmuslim, you're allowed to be taken and made into a slave? >> yes. the article distinguishes between muslim and nonmuslim. you either have to be forced to converter killed and they are saying the justification is this is okay and falls within -- there's a religious justification for it. this is in the latest

publication of a magazine that has multiple languages, including english. >> we know isis is sunni and they go against the shiites. >> they are going against the yazidis in the article itself and you don't see this sort of justification, you haven't traditionally by other groups affiliated by al qaeda. i don't recall seeing this type of justification for treatment of women when he worked on iraq. this type of propaganda was a fairly new development. >> what about christians? >> christians, they said, would be not falling within this category, which you would face either death or forced to try to convert. to be perfectly honest, i don't think they'd say, no, we're not going to mistreat nonmuslim

women. >> tara, thank you for coming in. a pretty awful situation. still ahead, worry ramping up over the spread of ebola. the centers for device control here in the united states is re-evaluating its safety procedures in hospitals following the first known transmission of the virus in the united states. and in west africa, the number of ebola deaths keeps growing. in liberia, the deadly virus is taking a huge toll on it is health care workers. we'll go there live for a report. yap

indeed around the world. in less than two hours, president obama will receive an update on the ebola case in dallas, texas, in the broader effort to assure the preparedness of the country's health infrastructure. the nurse that contracted the disease is in critically but stable condition. the infection spread because of a breach of protocol, said the director of the cdc, but he clarified that today. >> i want to clarify something i said yesterday. i spoke about a breach in protocol and that's what we speak about in public health as to what needs to happen and our focus is to say, would this protocol have occurred? we believe it would have. some interpreted that as finding fault with the hospital or health care worker. that was certainly not my intention. people on the front lines are

really protecting all of us. >> we have a team of reporters covering this crisis. our elizabeth cohen is in dallas where the first u.s. case is diagnosed and in liberia where health care workers are threatening to go on strike. elizabeth, it was said that there were inconsistencies. what more can you tell us about that? >> reporter: this official said there may not be one a-ha moment. it might be more general than that. there might have been a problem, an inconsistency with how her protective gear was put on our taken off or there may have been inconsistencies with the gear that she wore. perhaps she wasn't always wearing the right kind. they said that they are going to try to figure that out but they know they may never get to the bottom of precisely what

happened. >> what's the mood there? are people scared, elizabeth? i assume that they are. >> reporter: you know, i don't get the feeling that people in dallas are particularly scared. there might be some concerns about coming to presbyterian for care. for example, yesterday they diverted ambulances away from the hospital and there is certainly no medical reason to do that. they certainly took in ambulances when they were treating thomas eric duncan last week but it may be that they were just concerned about sort of the optics of it, that maybe patients would be anxious about coming to a hospital where there's an ebola patient. i think there are concerns maybe about this hospital but i don't get the perception that people in dallas are worried in a general sense. >> elizabeth, stand by. i want to go to spain where a nurse was infected with ebola. what can you tell us, nic, about her condition? >> reporter: critical but

stable. she's having trouble breathing but she's conscious and talking. the level of virus in her body, they believe, has gone down a little which they say is giving them a little bit of hope. but government -- the government appointed a special committee here to look into ebola and gave a press conference today, really trying to tamp down fears in the country at the moment. one of the things they spoke about for teresa romero is that every moment is critical. >> translator: first of all, the following 24 hours, 48 hours, every hour in which the patient is in serious condition is all critical because she's still in serious condition. the information i have is that there are approximately 50 people dedicated to the care of this patient. >> reporter: but officials here have said that the hospital itself is really not up to standard for treating ebola, that the areas where the staff take on and put on their

protective agreement is too small and that's raising concerns for the unions here, the health care unions. wolf? >> i want to be precise on that. there's concern the hospital there that is treating this nurse is not prepared to deal with this nurse? is that what you're saying? >> reporter: what we've been told by the european center for disease control is that the hospital does not meet all the standards for treating ebola. they say that the staff are being given adequately prepared for it and what we have heard from the special committee here, set up in spain to look at ebola, is that the space they have available inside the hospital where the health care workers -- and there are some 50 of them, we're told, who are treating the nursing assistant, is too small. the area where they take on and put off this protective equipment is too small. so, yes, we have both the government and european centers

for device contrisease control their standards don't measure up to where they would want them to be. that said, the committee reassuring the public in spain that they can and are able to do everything that is necessary to prevent the disease spreading. wolf? >> nic robertson, stand by. i want to go to liberia where the number of ebola deaths in west africa as a whole just keeps on climbing. more than 4,000. so we're there in monrovia. how are workers there coping? >> reporter: well, it really seems like they can't handle the pressure for much longer. some of the equipment is still inadequate. so many of the health care workers at the city's largest treatment center has started to go slow.

the consequences of that, the fears of the consequences, you can imagine, are huge. we've already starting to feel it, wolf. three ambulances were turned away on saturday and now they are currently not admitting patients. it's just a difficult situation on both sides. of course, the impact is scary and the health care workers have been going for months now and doesn't feel like they can take anymore. wolf? >> military personnel are doing the best they can. a lot of people here in the united states are deeply concerned about what eventually will be 4,000 americans, u.s. military personnel going over there. what are you hearing about their safety? >> well, the u.s. military personnel will not be in direct contact with the patients but the public health services, the other departments will be and that will be through this ebola treatment center specifically for health care workers. while, of course, that ups the risk for them, the liberian health care worker who is are

critical to ramping up this response and trying to convince them to come here in significant numbers is a big part of the response. this will provide them with a much-needed lifeline and much-needed moral support, the sense that for the liberian health care workers that they are not alone and the u.s. is willing to take some of these risks with them, wolf. >> nima elbagir, take care. much more on this ebola crisis coming up. also, politics. romney, clinton, bush, they are all on the campaign trail. taking a closer look at the big names here in the united states with the big midterm races coming up here in three weeks. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it! baby laughs! introducing new listerine® healthy white™. it not only safely whitens teeth,

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. dozens of residents at a dallas, texas, apartment complex got this startling phone call. listen to this. >> please be advised that a health care worker who lives in your area has tested positive for the ebola virus. this individual is in the hospital and is isolated. precautions are already in place to clean all known potential areas of contact to ensure public health. >> that was the so-called reverse 911 phone call from the dallas police. they posted police in front of the building to keep people away from the home of the infected

resident. questions remain on how that resident, a dallas nurse, contracted ebola. the head of the centers for disease control says a breach in protocol led to the infection. some health care workers are saying the nurse's case is a prime example of how ill-equipped hospitals are throughout the united states to deal with ebola. let's bring in my next guest, dr. sema yasmin, director of health at the university of texas, dallas, and a former cdc detective. thanks for joining us. is this a breach of protocol or a case of a hospital not being well-equipped to deal with ebola? >> to answer that question, wolf, we need upmost transparency from the hospital so we can learn from what happened here. many health care facilities are asking that exact same question, they want to know if the protocols that they are

practicing will protect them or did something else happen. health care workers are human and work long hours and sometimes mistakes are made. >> we're told the nurse was wearing the protective gear. if that's the case, how could she possibly contract ebola? >> sometimes, wolf, you think you're wearing the right equipment but you may have forgotten a vital piece of equipment. sometimes you're in a rush to take care of a patient and other times you are wearing gloves that have torn and may not know that they tore because you're wearing more than one layer. i've investigated in the past infections that occurred in hospitals with health care workers. sometimes you do so much work to look back at what happened and you still can't find the precise incident where the exposure occurred. >> we're told that some procedures were done, desperate procedures near the very end on the kidney, on the lungs that

those procedures in and of themselves, very complex, could have resulted in the spread of ebola to this nurse. you've heard that theory? >> absolutely. and we think about those two procedures, wolf. one of them is kidney dialysis where this machine is taking over function of the kidneys. that means it's taking in large volumes of the patient's blood and purifying them. we know that blood of an ebola patient can be very infectious. blood splatter can occur when you're doing dialysis. the other high exposure that mr. duncan had was he was intubated. a tube was put down his throat and it was connected to a ventilator. it can make them cough, get some saliva droplets and that, of course, can put health care workers at higher risk for ebola. >> should they avoid those kinds of desperate procedures at the very end? >> well, of course with ebola patients, they can come into the

clinic walking and talking and can quickly deteriorate, their kidneys can stop working because of this deadly virus. as a health care workers you want to be able to do as much as you can. it's very hard to say we're not going to do this because i don't want to put myself at risk. you'd much rather say we'll protect ourselves while delivering the patient care. >> should we be surprised if more cases emerge of ebola in dallas? >> health care workers put themselves at the front lines of this deadly virus every single day. if there are more cases, we'll be very disappointed and very saddened. but just because health care workers are coming into contact with bodily fluids, they therefore have lots of virus in their system, they are at the highest risk of becoming victims of the deadly virus they are trying to treat. >> dr. yasmin, thank you for

the catholic church seems to have taken a dramatic shift on gays and lesbians. "homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the christian community." while it may not be opening the door to the approval of gay marriage, it's a softer mess average to gay catholics. this came out during a summit of bishops going on right now. let's go to rome. delia gallagher is joining us. what does this apparent shift mean? >> wolf, it's a dramatic change in language. we don't yet have a change in the teaching or in the rules of the catholic church and whether that remains to be seen but the language and the change from an

are we capable of welcoming these people accepting and valuing their sexual orientation? valuing sexual orientation is new lingo for the vatican. it also talks about the merit of a gay marriage, clearly language that goes beyond what has been said previously about gay relationships. indeed, part of the conversation was whether the previous language, for example, intrinsically disordered, refers to the catholic church as the gay sexual act.

they call it trintrinsically disordered. some say it's a change a language, it doesn't matter or change the content. however, if you change the language, it does denote something about the content. it's very important from that point of view. >> the shift in tone, delia, seems to have shifted noticeably. i should say, since pope francis came to power. is that right? >> absolutely. i mean, this is another example of the kinder and gentler pope francis. let's be clear, under john paul ii, pope benedict, they would have agreed with the fact that one needs to be merciful. that's one of the key themes of pope france' pontificate. the doors need to be wide open

for a person with all of their problems. they wouldn't have left it with that. they wouldn't have made that priority whereas pope francis make it is clear each and every time and on this issue, on divorce and married catholics and co-habitation, living together, et cetera, et cetera, they lead with a positive aspect of these situations which previously they called irregular. >> and the reason that this came out today is -- >> wolf, this is a working document. so it's been going on for the past week that he is a summary of what the discussions were. they've got another week still to discuss. there will be another report, probably on saturday, and then they've got a year to think about it again before next october. so any definitive changes will happen at that time, october 2015. >> so still a year away from that but a significant shift in

the tone at least with the vatican when it comes to gays and lesbians. delia gallagher, thank you for the excellent explanation. up next, a key senate race puts the president at the center of the debate but is that the key issue for voters? a closer look at the referendum on the obama administration. a brand new start. with centurylink visionary cloud infrastructure, and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable, secure, and agile.

hillary clinton got heckled in san diego but it's her response that got people talking. >> there are some people who miss important developmental stages. >> that got a lot of laughs. the former secretary of state and recent grandmother was talking to a group of pediatricians. expect to see a lot more from mitt romney, chris christie as we move closer and closer to the midterm elections here in the united states. we're now over three weeks away and with so much on the line, like control of the united states senate, the big names could mean a big difference. our political analyst is joining us from new york, gloria borger. let's talk about the senate race

in kentucky. mitch mcconnell is set for his one and only debate against alison lundergan grimes later tonight. listen to this. this is mcconnell talking about the debate yesterday. >> people of this state do not like this administration. they know i'm the principle opponent for the obama administration in washington and i think they want to send the president a message. >> so does this race that's a critically important race in kentucky, gloria, hinge on the voters' opinions there of president obama? >> look, i think there's a big question in the state of kentucky and it's playing out in a lot of senate races which as a voter and you hold your nose as a voter these days, who do you think is worse? president obama or republicans in control of congress is worse? and, of course, mitch mcconnell is the ultimate symbol of that because if republicans take control of congress and the senate and he wins, he would likely become the senate majority leader. so the stakes are high here.

you know, wolf, this has been a race in which he's had a steady lead. it looks as if the polls are tightening and i'll be curious to watch him in this debate tonight because piece a really practiced debater. and alison grimes is somebody who is relentlessly on message. she's kind of new to this national spotlight. and remember last week she wouldn't even answer the question about whether she had voted for barack obama. that's how far she's trying to distance herself from him. >> has she answered that question since then? >> excuse me? >> has she answered that question since then? because she's been getting a lot of grief by refusing to tell voters in kentucky who she voted for in 2008 and 2012. >> right. she needs to answer that question. somebody pointed out to me after we were talking about it on your show last week, wolf, we don't even know whether she voted. so i think at some point, if i were mitch mcconnell, i might raise that question during the debate tonight. >> i suspect he might. hillary clinton, as we've

>> hillary clinton is stomping for candidates including grimes in kentucky. mitt romney is out there. chris christie. jeb bush. the former florida governor. they are all out there. are these appearances really helping these candidates? >> look, it's important as you get into the homestretch. this midterm election is about getting your voters out. the problems the democrats have right now is that their voters are not as enthusiastic. that always happens in the sixth year of a presidency. they kind of expect it. "the wall street journal" just had a poll out which said that among likely voters, that's among the people most likely to go to the polls, they prefer republicans to control the congress by seven points. so that's very worrisome. so republicans want to keep up the momentum. democrats want to say to their fellow democrats the stakes here could not be higher. so who best to make that case?

potential presidential candidates. i might add, wolf, they also help themselves when they do it. they collect a bunch of races. it's good for everybody. >> president obama has come under some criticism for his handling of the ebola scare here in the united states. arizona republicans senator john mccain called for the appointment of a real czar, if you will, on this issue. listen to what he said. >> there has to be more reassurance given to them. i would say that we don't know exactly who's in charge. there has to be some kind of czar. >> white house says there's no need for an ebola czar but is this something the president needs to do to reassure the public? >> you know, i think john mccain at one point in his career said that this president appointed too many czars and now he's asking for a czar. the without responded to that as jim accosta, our white house correspondent reports.

they have lisa monaco in charge of that. they think that's fine. i just noted, however, that the president has a meeting on his schedule today for 3:00, wolf. another meeting on ebola because what the white house doesn't want is for this to go to the question of competency. they need to show that they are in charge. people should not be afraid. and what's being played out on the campaign trail is using this ebola issue as a question of leadership and using -- stoking the fear issue quite frankly. >> gloria, thank you very, very much. gloria borger in new york for us today. for our international viewers, we'll get a quick check of the headlines. that's coming up next. for our viewers in the united states and canada and throughout north america, a mysterious relative leads our anthony bourdain on a journey he was not expecting. we have details coming up. i took a journey as did several cnn anchors and hosts.
