3:01 am
workers returning from treating ebola patients in hard hit west african countries. illinois has a similar rule. what they're trying to do is they're trying to protect public health. how the rules will be enforced is an open question. federal leaders worries the measures will wind up discouraging american health workers from traveling to liberia where the virus killed 5,000 people. the ambassador to the united nations is on her way to the outbreak zone in west africa. >> now one nurse is slamming the way she was treated after landing in newark airport in new jersey. she writes in the "dallas morning news" that upon returning from working in sierra le leon,way as isolated then escorted to a hospital. i sat alone in the isolation tank and thought of many colleagues that will face the same ordeal. will they be made to feel like
3:02 am
criminals and prisoners? my blood was taken and tested for ebola. it came back negative. new jersey governor chris christie told the associated press she was obviously ill and apologized for herr e inconvenience. she will be quarantined for 21 days. >> meantime, the fiancee of the doctor that is in quarantine, she's been isolated at an east side hospital. dixon is not showing symptoms of ebola but what is going to happen is remain under quarantine. spencer is reportedly entering a more serious phase of his illness and his condition has gotten worse. he received blood plasma from nancy wrightbold, one of the first two americans diagnosed with ebola. ebola patients often get worse before they recover. it was spencer's diagnosis last week just a day after he dined out, gone bowling, ridden
3:03 am
a subway that sparked new quarantine laws. alexandra, why are state officials so concerned that would move them to will thefl of this quarantine? >> victor, they're responsible to the people in their state. they're telling us they want to take every precaution to protect residents. that means stepping up the guidelines. this comes at the same time that the cdc is already announcing stepped up guidelines starting tomorrow. people returning from the hot zone will be actively monitored. that means for the 21 incubation period, they'll stay in touch with officials. and now they're taking it a step beyond that and it's causing friction. >> reporter: a mandatory 21-day quarantine or hospitalization already imposed by new york and new jersey and now illinois is causing heated debate on handling the possible spread of ebola. in an effort to ease concerns,
3:04 am
they announce the new rules for any passenger coming in from the west african nation. a mandatory quarantine goes into infect for those who had direct contact with an infected person n an statement issued by the state of illinois, this protective measure is too important to be voluntary. with you me take every step necessary to insure the people of illinois are protected from potential exposure. while we have no confirmed cases in illinois, we'll continue to take every safeguard necessary to protect first responders, health care workers, and the people of illinois. in new york, where the state is already dealing with an ebola case, governor andrew cuomo says health care workers are ready. >> the workers feel that they've had the training. they have the equipment. we've gone through the protocols. we've drilled, we've drilled, we've drilled. >> reporter: the mandates are causing concerns with the cdc and other infectious disease specialists.
3:05 am
health care workers volunteering to combat the ebola epidemic in west africa are heroes and without their work, the u.s. is at increased risk. we must protect their health and well-being and continue to take action to protect americans so ebola does not spread here. >> i do have very real concerns, especially since i'm somebody that is planning to go myself, that this is really going to prevent some people from volunteering. we're already having difficulty recruiting health care workers to go over. and if you're going to institute even what frankly feel like punitive measures against people who are volunteering their time, taking real risks, it just doesn't really feel right and fair. >> we do not have a vaccine. we do not have a cure. we only have treatment. and one needs to understand a virus constantly trying to mutate and constantly trying to find a new host to live on and as such quarantine is the only
3:06 am
thing that breaks the link. >> reporter: a lot of debate about the policy here but certainly also great deal of concern for dr. craig spencer who is still here at bellevue. his virus entered the next stage. he is getting different therapies but he is awake and able to communicate still. >> all right, alex an droo field, thank you. and now want to bring in dr. joseph mccormick. he is the regional dean at the university of school of public health. good morning to you. >> good many. how are you this morning? >> doing well. there's a lot of talk about whether or not this 21-day mandatory quarantine is needed. what do you think? >> well, i think that if it's going to be done, it should be done in a different way. i don't think that the way this nurse was treated is acceptable. . she represents the best of who we are. she should be treated like a hero and given every due respect
3:07 am
and not treated clearly the way she was. i think there are alternatives to this. they could test her each day for the presence of ebola virus as well as some other measures that would give a very early sign of whether somebody is infected or not. and i think that that is another alternative to simply treating this person like they are threatening the entire health of the united states. surely the governors didn't intend this. why didn't they put together a team, a group of people who will greet these people and treat them with respect and give them the services they're going to need if they insist on having this kind of quarantine. >> dr. mccormick, your idea of testing the health care workers who come back from the hot zones every day. testing them every day. how would that work? they would go to their home. after they leave after doing that testing and if all seems okay, would the health care workers be okay to go bowling and go to the grocery store or
3:08 am
would it be suggested that they stay in their homes? >> they're going to pick up the virus in the blood long before they're ill. and so they're not a threat to anybody as long as they have no virus at all. and so they should be able to go about their daily tasks. if they feel ill during that day, then fine, they can alert people and measures needed can be taken. but there are alternatives to the way this is being done. i think they should be explored. >> starting monday, they're going to be new federal guidelines that take infect. they're going to be that all travelers coming from the u.s. from those ebola hot zones, they're going to have to be actively monitored for 21 days. that sounds, you know, similar to what you're saying. have you heard about this? what does actively monitoring mean? >> i think it's taking advantage of what we know about ebola. this virus is spread by close contact with bodily fluids.
3:09 am
it's not spread by any other means. and so we can take advantage of that knowledge in order to have a maximum way to monitor people without making them criminals as seemed to be the effort with this nurse. >> do you think the u.s. should even go further and enact a travel ban from patients from ebola stricken countries? >> not at all. i think that is counterproducti counterproductive. we would have even less infe effective way of treating people that are coming such as mr. duncan. we would not have seen him with this method. he might well have traveled in some other way that would have gotten him into the united states when he was disease-free. so i don't think that would help at all. i want to point out that none of mr. duncan's close contact wlz
3:10 am
circulating around became infected at all. >> okay. dr. joseph mccormick, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> my pleasure. >> so trying to against answers there and in washington state, relatives of the marysville school shooter, they're trying to get answers. he is close to the two cousins he shot. so why did jaylen fryberg do it? and this lava is threatening to destroy homes. we'll tell you how many people may be affected. we put all the apps you love... inside a car designed to connect you to a world of possibilities. the connected car by volvo innovating for you.

kirl girls. >> our susan candiotti join us. what do we know about the shooters relationship with his cousins? initially when we learned that these were friends, it was horrible enough. but this is now family. any clues yet to the motive behind this tragedy? >> good morning, victor. the grandfather of the cousins who were injured in this says yes indeed they were related to the shooter. and that they were all very close. that they hung out together. they lived close by. they even went to a school dance recently in which the suspected shooter j eer jaylen fryberg wad
3:15 am
the homecoming prince. he would eventually like to meet with his family. as for the motive, if authorities know what happened here, they're not saying. might it have had something to do with a reported recent breakup with a girlfriend or a suspension from school? we simply don't know at this time. in the meantime, at the school, students were allowed to return on saturday. they left flowers on the fence there and they were permitted to go inside the school and their classrooms to retrieve belongings. the kplucommunity is still reel from what happened here and trying to make sense of it with their families. i spoke with the mayor about that. >> i put my arms around them and hug them. i hadn't done that on their way out the door to school that day. you have families that their kids aren't coming home. and that's what comes through your mind. you just want to love on them and hug them.
3:16 am
one of the things is to say if you need something to talk about, don't hold it in. talk to us about it. >> and at this time police have not yet officially released the name of the shooter or the teenage girl who was killed. >> susan, a new teacher at the school we're hearing is being hailed a hero in all this. she attempted to stop the shooter. do you know about that? >> yes, the police have said that that's what happened. although they're not releasing any more details about that. we have reached out to the teacher that they mention. she said she didn't want to talk about it at this time. we'll wait to get details on that. she did apparently try stop him at one point. >> okay. susan candiotti, thanks. let's get to the morning read now. there is a lot going on this morning. a nurse who is being held in

quarantine in new jersey says she was left in isolation for hours when she arrived at newark lib irt international airport. writing in the "dallas morning news," casey hickcocks said she is scared about how other health care workers that return to the u.s. after caring for ebola patients in west africa will be treated. >> officials in new york, new jersey and illinois are trying to protect public health. western isis cappives are tortured before being beheaded. james foley, the first western hostage to be beheaded on camera had been singled out for particularly harsh treatment. the times says they compiled the information by interviewing five other witnesses and colleagues of the detainees. and former secretary of state hillary clinton is slamming the level spending by outside groups in this year's race for senate in north carolina. she was campaigning for kay

let's start this half with five things you need to know. a federal official sells cnn that cdc is not happy about mandatory quarantines now in place in new york and new jersey. the 21-day isolation period applies to health workers and others who are returning from west african countries hit hard by ebola. illinois has a similar rule. how the rules will be enforced, that is still an open question. >> lots of questions there. number two now, gary, indiana, a man shot and killed his 13-year-old neighbor for laughing at him. the alleged shooter found his house had been burglarized. he was reportedly yelling outside when some neighbors including the victim walked over. police say the victim laughed at him and that's when he was reportedly shot nine times. number three, attorney general eric holder says the federal government will now recognize same sex married couples in six more states

3:31 am
how humans can thrive for long periods of time in space. we talked about before the break the gray area, all the questions about these new controversial quarantines in three states. let's talk about them with cnn law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director. how can the states enforce the manld torre quarantines? >> victor, i have to admit, i'm not sure what exactly their legal authority is going to be and how long they can hold people and in what conditions. you know, there is a point that the governors are making that if you've been in direct contact with patients that have ebola in africa and you come back there should some measure of vigilence on your health. in the case that prompted this, the doctor goes to public places, rides the subway, goes bowling and goes to restaurants and later when he catches it, these, you know, they're trying
3:32 am
to sanitize the bowling alley, for instance. so the people like that that have gone to an establishment, the person that owns that establishment has to close the business, bring in the cleanup people in dallas to sanitize the place and that costs money. so there has to be some incre e increased vigilence on the people that come back that have been directly with patients. but if you carry this to a logical extreme, how will this be enforced and what will we do? we create internment camps like we did in world war ii and lock them up and ice lame them from the public? what will we do with the 4,000 u.s. soldiers when they return or if they rotate the thousands of soldiers potentially that will be coming and going from west africa? are we going to isolate them also? i just see that there is a lot of confusion here, partly created by the cdc changing and
3:33 am
shifting the protocols from the time that duncan arrived and later died in the dallas hospital, the hospitals themselves being on their own and showing they weren't up to the task as two of their workers in dallas get sick. a lot of this is prompted by confusion in the government, confusion in private industry with the hospitals, lack of clarity on how you get it or don't get it and who can be sick or not be sick. i think this has to be thought through and there hasn't been enough debate. there's been too much knee jerk reaction to every little new situation. not enough actual thoughtful debate. >> if they thought it through, they haven't relaid the clarity. they haven't relaid the details of the plan. you brought up thomas eric duncan. what we know from the plans in new york, new jersey and illinois is these are for people that had direct or close contact with ebola patients. but is there a legal liability for ignorance? like in the case of duncan, the
3:34 am
reporting from liberia is he didn't know when this pregnant woman fell over that she had ebola. he just saw a pregnant woman fall and did what most people do is go to her aid. are people legally libel if they didn't know they were treating someone with ebola and in fact they were? >> well, you know, legal liability normally requires an intent. you have criminal intent. you're aware that what you're doing is wrong or may be dangerous to other people. in a case like this, you're right. if you don't know that you're hurting -- or you're helping someone might hurt somebody else down the line including yourself, you can't hold anybody liable for that. now if you later lie and say you weren't exposed to the illness or in a country where it's prevalent, then that's a different story, too. even to that extent, there's just so much confusion completely across the board on who to let in the country and
3:35 am
then when they get in the country, how to treat them when they arrive. certainly the health care workers they are heroes. they have a point of how they should be treated when they return. but on the other hand, they're the most likely to spread it or to obtain the disease because they were in close contact with patients. >> do you foresee this plan being long term? what we know from the world health organization is that the fight to stop ebola is not going to be a quick one. it's not going to be over in two or three rounds. do you foresee the mandatory quarantines maybe going to the other two states where people from the region fly in to georgia and virginia? or are people going to realize, wait a minute, this really isn't feasible. we need to stop this. >> i think everything in the handling of this matter from the beginning has been politically driven and i think the governors, if there's a backlash in their state to tell them to stop it, they'll stop it. if there is support that we don't want to be anywhere close to an ebola patient, doctor or
3:36 am
nurse, we don't care. keep them away from us. lock them up and intern them if the governor's get political support for that, they'll keep doing it. i just think that science here is taking a backseat to what the public outcry has been, what the media outcry has been and the politicians have been dragged around on how they want to treat this and what they want to do. >> so many questions on how this law will be enforced. thank you for offering clarity or pointing out some of the glaring questions. >> pointing out the lack of clarity. >> yes, thank you very much. some top lawmakers are calling for a ban on flights from ebola stricken nations. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. is going to west africa. she wants to send a message to the american public. we're going to explore that ahead. are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world.

u.s. ambassador to the united nations arrived in ebola stricken new guinea today. it is the first stop on the three countries in west africa that have been hardest hit by the deadly virus. joining me is susan johnson-cook, she is a former ambassador at large. she's been the faith adviser to two presidents and she joins us here this morning. >> thank you so much for having me. >> what is sort of the mission for miss power at this point? >> let me send my thoughts and prayers to the presidents of those countries and to the people of those nations. and to the ambassadors who are there. her mission is to make sure there is attention brought to this issue that we may find healing. i think it's courageous, number one. number two, you know, had this epidemic happened in another nation, i think we would have been on it a lot quicker.
3:42 am
the people of africa are concerned. the people of america who have african relatives are concerned. and so we're very thankful she's making this mission. >> and power wants other countries to step if and help with the fight. how will this trip help with that? >> the u.s. leads and people follow our lead and so many respects, so we're taking the courageous act of -- we call this a full-court press. everything needs to happen so we can bring healing to not only their nations but to the entire world. if we can find solutions in america to help some americans, then why can't we begin to mult fly that -- multiply that effect. >> what are the lessons that the u.s. can learn about how to fight this incredible virus? >> i'm not part of the cdc nor part of the medical profession. i know that we can begin using all of the resources we have in hand. we have the greatest doctors in the world. we have some of the greatest
3:43 am
solutions. we need to partner with the cdc and other nation that's have medical professions equivalent and ask what we can do. >> power is traveling to we have africa and leaders are asking for a ban. >> the ban has not happened totally. but since it has come to our continent, we need to find out whether what is the source of it. so her traveling is the beginning of saying the u.s. is not giving up but we're actually providing hope. i think that's what america represents around the world. we are a hope nation. it does begin with us. >> i want to switch gears and talk about the shooting in washington state. police say a teenage gunman opened fire on classmates. you're a pastor and a parent. what can we do to prevent tragedies like this? many people talk about the parental involvement. it's so theoretical.
3:44 am
what that does that mean? >> we have to move beyond theory. before i went into government i was a pastor for three decades. and new york's inner city. i've had front line. so we do need to do a full-court press. what it means is that all of us, it does take a village to really raise a child. it's not just parents and it's not just government's responsibility but all of us working together. there is a role for faith leaders. faith leaders play a really important role. this is the only consistent place in the community where people come together. when i was in school there used to be release time for catholic and jewish students after school. they go and learn the heritage and learn about their faith. faith leaders have to move in. there is also a role for corporate america. why not adopt a school, adopt a community and begin to do their resources. they used to have this executive program for nonprofits. make a program for our schools where we begin to bring real resources. there is tremendous wealth in
3:45 am
the united states. bring resources of corporate america and others who have it and begin to help a community. it takes all parental involvement is very important. >> you see the school shootings. they are amplified. i saw newtown. maybe this would have been a wakeup call. in the 18 months there have been more than 70 school shootings. what is happening here? >> when i was a pastor, one thing i saw is there is a tremendous amount of meantal illness that is undetected and ignored. we've got to begin to put our grip on this. get a grip on this. there needs to be counseling prior to school. there needs to be counseling certainly after tragedies such as this. not just grief counseling but begin to get a tap on it. we have ways of disconnected generation. with technology now, they're disconnected. they're not talking to parents. they're not even talking to each other. we really can't monitor what is on those mobile devices and what's on the computers. but what we can monitor is what happens if our home, setting boundaries. kids will rebel against it. i have two teenagers myself.
3:46 am
we have to have rules. there have to be some things in effect. >> take the twitter account away. >> put limits on it. we were growing up with limits on tv. you can't watch tv until home work is done. we have to do certain things. boundaries are important. having a meal with your children. secretary meal time. spending some significant time. showing up at their parent-teacher involvement. also showing up at their games. my kids, i was the busiest mom, but they would look up and see me in the stands at their basketball game. >> they know you cared. >> it's about time for caring. >> all right. susan johnson-cook, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you so much. dr. craig spencer, he's the doctor now being treated for ebola in new york. what do you think? is he a hero or is he irresponsible? as he's recovering at that hospital, critics are lashing out at him. we'll tell you what they're saying. turn the trips you have to take,

anyone returning from ebola affected places. state officials are trying to protect public health. how will the rules be enforced? that's the open question here. federal leaders worry it will discourage workers from traveling to those countries where the virus killed 5,000 people. now earlier this morning the u.s. ambassador to the united nations samantha power landed in guniea in the heart of the outbreak zone. >> one nurse is slamming the way she was treated after landing at newark airport in new jersey. she writes in the "dallas morning news" that upon returning from her work with doctors without borders in sierra leone, she was isolated then whisked to a hospital under police escort. she said "i sat alone in isolation tent and thought of many colleagues who will return home to america and face the same ordeal. will they be made to feel like

the subway that sparked new quarantine policies in three states. our alexandra field is outside bellevue hospital live for us this morning where spencer is still in isolation. explain for us the reason that we're hearing from the governors of new york and new jersey that these mandatory quarantines have been enacted and what we know about dr. spencer. >> victor, at this point officials on all levels, local, state, federal are trying to navigate this. what do do you to contain the possible spread of this and how do you calm fears? that's why we're seeing the cdc rollout new regulations. people arriving from the hot zone of west africa under an active monday forring program which means they'll have to check in with state and local officials for 21 days even if they're not showing symptom. but some state officials here in new jersey and in new york and in illinois have said that they want to see this go a step further so they enacted their own policies.
4:03 am
>> reporter: a mandatory 21-day quarantine or hospitalization already imposed by new york and new jersey and now i will sill causing heated deep on handlingst spread of ebola. in an effort to ease public concerns, the three states announced the measures for any airline passenger coming in from a west african nation hit hard by the dlid virus. a mandatory quarantine goes into effect for travelers who had direct contact with an infected person. in a statement issued by the state of illinois says this protective measure is too important to be voluntary. we must take every step necessary to ensure the people of illinois are protected from potential exposure from the ebola virus. in new york, the state is already dealing with an ebola case, governor andrew cuomo says health care workers are ready. >> the workers feel that they've had the training. they've had the equipment. we've gone through the protocols. we've drilled. >> reporter: the mandates are causing concerns with the cdc in
4:04 am
other infectious disease specialists. in a statement the cdc says health care workers volunteering to combat the ebola epidemic in west africa are heroes. the epidemic there won't end without them. without their work, the u.s. will be at increased risk. >> i do have very real concerns especially since i am somebody who is planning to go myself that this is really going to prevent some people from volunteering. we're already having difficulty recruiting health care workers to go over. and if you're going to institute even -- what frankly feels like punitive measures against people volunteering time, taking real risks, it just doesn't feel right and fair. >> we do not have a vaccine. we do not have a cure. we only have treatment. one needs to understand a virus constantly trying to mutate and find a new host to live on and as such quarantine is only thing that breaks the link. >> reporter: dr. craig spencer
4:05 am
is one of the doctors who went to the hot zone trying to help people affected by the virus. he is back here now being treated at bellevue hospital. his virus entered the next stage. he is showing more symptoms and he's getting anti-viral treatments and plasma treatments and officials at this hospital point out those are both treatment that's have been successfully used to cure other ebola patients treated at other hospitals here in the u.s. >> all right. alexandra field in bellevue hospital in new york, thank you. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. wants to show americans they don't have to be afraid of ebola. samantha power landed in guinea this morning, her first stop to the three west african nations hit hardest by the virus. erin, what message do you think the ambassador is trying to send here and what is she looking to accomplish on this trip? >> it is really symbolic. she simply wants to send the message to u.s. government workers dhe go to these countries affected in west
4:06 am
africa and not get ebola. it's much the same message that president obama was trying to send on friday when he hugged nurse nina pham in the oval office. he could do that. she is fine. he, too, is not going to get ebola. then the second message is that other countries need to get involved. she, of course, as the ambassador to the u.n., works as the ambassador to the u.n. works with all the other nation ands secretary of state john kerry is on a mission for weeks now saying that other countries need to get involved. this could be a much bigger problem if they don't. >> what will the ambassador be doing in west africa? is she going to have direct contact with the ebola patients? >> that remains to be seen. so far from the announcement we have, she's not going to be meeting with ebola patients. but she will be meeting with u.s. health care workers there on the ground and also with the u.n. effort that is there, also government officials who are there. mostly coordinating the effort and seeing these national ebola
4:07 am
coordination centers. >> some top law makers are calling for a travel ban on flights from west africa. here we have power going there. she's going to have to come back, obviously. is this a rebuke to those calls? >> it may be on some level. the bigger issue, of course, is sending the message to other countries that they need to get involved. but she does say in a recent interview with nbc news question not take measures that we're going to impact our ability to flood the zone. we have to find the right balance between addressing legitimate fears and encouraging the heroes. but the other thing i would point out is that ambassador power is based in new york city. and the big question is even -- whether she comes into contact with ebola patients or not, she certainly will come into contact with people who have had those contacts. will she then be quarantined when she returns? >> that was exactly -- you took the question out of my mouth. i was just going to ask you that. we shall see. thank you, aaron. >> let's get more on the ebola
4:08 am
travel restrictions as we saw that exchange. let's talk with dr. dadalja. the first question i have for you, doctor, the cdc suggests the new quarantine will discourage health care workers from going to the hot bed zones. what do you think? >> i definitely believe that's going to be the case. it's already a daunting tass tok good over there to fight this battle at its source and now they're subject to 21 days of quarantine if they return to several states that have now enacted these quarantines. it really makes it a much bigger proposition that these individuals have to think about if they're going to go. >> let's play this from the other angle then. from what we're hearing from the governors of illinois and new york and new jersey, we heard in al alexandra field's piece that
4:09 am
quarantine is the only thing that breaks the link, if you know, and we do know that, direct contact with patients who have ebola is the only way people can contract ebola, why not wait the 21 days of the incubation period just to be safe? why is quarantine a bad idea? >> during the incubation period, those individuals, even if they're incubating the virus, pose no risk to other individuals because you're not contagious until you have symptom. and these patients aren't just out there on their own. they're part of the monitoring program. they're in contact with the state department and authorities. quarantine doesn't add anything to that. all it does is make it much more difficult for people to come home. >> so what would you advocate for? what would be happy medium here? >> what we're doing right now, what the cdc guidance is with active monitoring where people monitor themselves for 21 days in conjunction with the health department actively keeping track of the individuals and making sure this is going on.
4:10 am
that's the way to do this. you don't get symptoms. you have to think of dr. spencer's case as the plan working well. his circle of contacts is very minimal, three, compared to mr. duncan who had a much larger circle of contact. what we're doing now seems to be adequate. the quarantines, and they're not universal because atlanta and dallas don't have the same restrictions, don't make any sense and not really motivated by any kind of understanding of the transmission dynamics of this virus. >> thank you for joining us this morning. talk about not making sense. my question is, you know, to put these people who come back from these three countries into some type of mandatory quarantine for treating ebola patients, if that's protecting public health, why not put the americans who are working in these hospitals caring for ebola patients into quarantine, too? it's not like the disease is any deadlier coming from
4:11 am
it is coming from dallas. thank you. >> thanks for having me. deadly school shooting in washington state has students and families asking one question, why did he do it? >> and same sex marriage will be recognized by the federal government in six additional states. why attorney general eric holder has made this historic decision. means keeping seven billion ctransactions flowing.g, and when weather hits, it's data mayhem. but airlines running hp end-to-end solutions are always calm during a storm. so if your business deals with the unexpected, hp big data and cloud solutions make sure you always know what's coming - and are ready for it. make it matter.
