day. i'm gretchen kacarlson and now we'll head over to shepard smith. lookdown in texas and accusations that the patient himself lied on a health form before coming to the united states. that as health care workers try to track down roughly 100 people they believe he could have exposed. we'll talk with a man who has experienced an ebola quarantine. plus ground troops to take on islamic militants? turkish government sending in troops to fight isis as apparently had a plan on go after syria over the summer. we'll talk to the journalist who broke the story. so let's get to it. first from fox this thursday

afternoon live from oxford, mississippi, this is a live look, dallas, where we're waiting for a news conference about the ebola patient. we'll take you there when it starts. new today, state officials put four people under quarantine in their apartment, the partner and her child and two nephews. they're all locked inside their home after having direct contact with duncan while sick with ebola. the quarantine is legally bipdinbipd i binding. family members can face criminal charges if they do not comply. but the kids had been in school earlier this week and now locked inside the apartment with officials monitoring them. more on those kids later. officials so are far say the relatives have not shown any simp symptoms. they say at first the family was not cooperating and that's why they needed the legal order. they're looking for about 100 people who may have had contact with duncan. and there is word duncan lied at

the airport in liberia before he made his way to the united states. according to a quarantine, the associated press obtained -- or i should say a questionnaire ap contained, duncan claimed he had no contact with any infected. but he had help willed carry a pregnant woman who later died of the disease. airline officials say he flew from liberia to brussels and then washington to dallas. united is asking any passengers on those flights to contact the airlines with any concerns. we reported yesterday duncan first went to the hospital last week after the symptoms started. hospital officials say he told a nurse that he had come from liberia, but the nurse didn't tell anybody else. then doctors gave him antibiotics and sent him on. his brother says we didn't think it was ebalanoebola.

now the reuters news agency reports a couple days after his first hospital visit, neighbors at the apartment complex say duncan was throwing up outside. finally he went back to the hospital where he's now isolated and said to be in serious condition. says city s casey stegall, tell us about the form he supposedly lied on. >> reporter: it's called an exit form and it was just created recently by the cdc in light of the outbreak in west africa. it's much like a u.s. customs form. it asks passengers a series of questions and this this particular questionnaire, it asks if they have had possible exposure to ebola and he apparently said no according to this thing. back to you. >> the news conference is beginning. let's listen live. >> -- to tcontinue the great wok

and also embad their staed thei the emergency center operation. so we have the emergency manager for disd and some emergency management staff from the city of dallas there, as well, to ask dr. david leki who was instrumental and working as the state's top regulator. he was at my side throughout the west nile virus epidemic and helpful also on the child refugee relocation erfforts to embed in our eoc for the state, he's brought some of his team here. i've asked dave deigel, associate director for xhun kaegss and public health preparedness and response ever the cdc and was embedded in my office upstairs for a couple of weeks during the west nile virus to embed there, as well.

we have the top doctor in the world, the top ebola doctor in the world, here on the ground, he's embedded in another group at presbyterian. we have a good team of experts and people in place and i want to stress to you that the people that are here assisting the great work that has already been done by our local health department and local agencies are people that i and our dallas county department of health and human services have worked well with and the mayor and others have worked well with and we have a high degree of confidence in those people to assist us in this action. dallas county will act as lead agency, but when it comes to planning, those decisions will be made with the advice and

counsel of our partners from the cdc and the state -- department of state health services. likewise, i want to get the input as we go forward and continue our strong partnership where the city of dallas, disd and other agencies and groups in dallas county. the hospitals, all hospitals are represented through their ats over there at incident command and we're moving quickly to continue and expedite the investigation and surveillance into these matters. a couple of things and then i'll turn it over to someone, last night we placed orders on the family. we did that after balancing many

things. we do not intend to have to do that again. but there is nothing more important than keeping you safe and based on the information we had, which i will not be publicly disclosing to you today, it was clear to me, a democrat, and governor perry, a republican, and everyone who looked at that information that the -- and the cdc as we laid it out to them that the actions that we took while unusual are were appropriate. and they're there to -- for the safety of the family as well as the safety of the public. we have some hygiene issues that we are addressing in that apartment. this is a fluid situation. we have a contractor, there are protocols that have to be followed to clean and to take care of the things that need to be taken care of in there.

we have a contractor who will be there as soon as possible and will take care of those issues that are of concern to doctor leki and myself and our health tent. we have delivered several days of food to that apartment. those people in the apartment are part of dallas county and they will be treated with the utmost respect and dignity in this unusual situation. dr. leke and i will reach out and put our eyes on that and i want to commend jennifer yates for her incredible work with

that neighborhood. i realize if you live anywhere near that neighborhood, you're nervous. the science hasn't changed overnight. this is not like the flu. it's not something where it spreads broadly through the community. you can only get sick -- you you can only contract it from someone who is having symptoms. and remember that the only person who had symptoms is mr. duncan who is in the hospital. no one who has been around mr. duncan during the time he has been symptomatic has shown any indication of having contracted ebola. or being sick from any other, you know, related illness. so this is a matter that we have a high degree of confidence we

can control and we are working to get a response which has been a good response strengthened every hour of the day. on the incident command, are th name of the commander is chief doug bass. he is our emergency management chief. he is not going to be available for interviews. their job at incident command is to gather information and get tasks done that are given to them as the policy is laid down for them. and they're busy doing that. very busy doing that. so there is not going to be time for them or for any of our section chiefs in this unified

command to give interviews for the next few days. lauren mesch, high chief of staff, will head it up and we'll have a joint communication with the city and dsd and try to get the information out as close to real time as we can so that you can get that information to the public. we want to be as transparent as we can be. and we want -- >> so there is a live news conference there texas. i want to bring in dr. anthony fouche in now. i get it that this is an unusual thing. it's an unprecedented thing. it's important for people to know about it. but what keeps striking me is there is nothing on earth people ought to be worrying about less right now. the vast majority of our

audience admits it won't affect them. we're talking about one person in one place. and for everybody to get all hyped up about this seems counterproductive and irresponsible. >> well, i think you just have to back up and see what is going on. the person right now is in ice lak isolation and is properly taken care of. what is going on with contact tracing is being continue properly. s way ythe way you prevent an outbreak, you determine which were true contacts and the ones that were true contacts, which is probably a much smaller group, you follow those people and monitor them over a period of time.

if they get civil tomorrow matt symptomatic, you isolate tracin sure there isn't an outbreak and that is being handled properly. >> well, prior to now, it didn't go perfectly. >> it's unfortunate that the person was not recognized as having ebola during the first emergency room visit. that hopefully is a lesson learned for every else so that if there ever is a situation le like this again, there will be strict attention paid. it shouldn't have happened, but things like that happen. i think it's important to look forward to make sure that it doesn't happen again. >> nurses who hear such a thing

probably tell the doctors. dr. fauci, thank you. >> good to be with you. nothing beats america's favorite chocolate chip cookie. nestlé toll house made with real butter, eggs,

prosecutors in oklahoma say they will seek the death penalty for the man accused of chopping off his co-worker's head. investigators say alton nolen seemed to be obsessed with

beheadings. his bosses had just suspended him from his job when he cut off a co-worker's head and stabbed another woman before a company executive shot him. the suspect pleaded not guilty yesterday. meanti meantime relatives released a statement, for her life to have been taken in such a tragic agent of violence add as depth of grief we're trying to comprehe comprehend. a couple hours ago, the turkish parliament voted to send ground troops in to iraq and syria if necessary. still turkish defense men minister says do not expect any immediate steps. the vote also allows for the presence of foreign troops on turkish soil to launch

operations against isis. turkey sits on the northern border and they're reportedly closing in on this city. analysts say hundred wills of thousands have escaped into turkey. analysts say turkey had been unwilling to fight islamic state militants. about 20 miles from the border, greg, explain the meaning of the vote if you could. >> reporter: potentially it could be a real game changer. the turkish military is well equipped, well trained, would be a formidable adversary for the isis. and could make the u.s.-led air strikes much more time sensitive and give it a little more bite. but the turkish government is already doing some back

pedaling, saying they want to go after all the terrorist groups, and assad, and the occur desh addition population, so they didn't want to seem to favor the kurds. so they could be holding back a little bit. >> you were on the border today, right? >> yeah. we got a couple of strong impressions. first of all, how close everything is. from where we were standing, that city that you were mentions which is little being battled over, kobani, is a mile away from the turkish border and about two or three miles away, reportedly isis terrorists killed and beheaded nine kurdish fighters including three women. and one more impression, that the vastness of the terrain and the big task it will be for the allies to go after isis, again,

we were looking at all the refugees coming over, 160,000 in the past week, and thinking about what they are thinking trying to get rid of isis and clearly the air strikes will be just one element of a very complicated job to get rid of isis. back to you. >> greg pal cot, thank you. >> there is word u.s. special operation forces had plans to target it back it inup. so answers ahead.

u.s. special operations forces reportedly had detailed plans to target al qaeda operatives in syria this summer. but those plans never made to the white house. that's according to the record in the "daily beast". quoting senior intelligence and military officials. of course the pentagon reports it did not -- i should say it did launch air strikes against the so-called khorasan group near allen ppo. the author of the story joining us, eli lake, senior national security koercorrespondent. >> thanks for having me. >> they first said attacks were imminent, they needed that word immeant inent to launch a strik

then they backed up. >> the blot that had been tracked for a period of months was to use these very nonmetallic bombs that are the specialty of the bombmaker of al qaeda's franchise in yemen, and the group that was planning these kinds of multiple airline attacks was actually based in syria and their senior al qaeda planners known as the khorasan group in part because they came as something from the khorasan council. but they are a veteran al qaeda. the point is that this is a group of very experienced people who had access to lots of person passports and other kinds of things that can be useful for spectacular terrorist operations and they were in syria not planning operations against bashar al assad or other rival

opposition groups, they were planning attacks against the west and that was going back more than a year, but they really began to watch it seriously in the spring. and by the end of june, there were these what are called target packages prepared by the joint special operations command task forces that track this particular threat in the levant, that part of the middle east. >> but that i'm told never made to the white house is this do we have an explanation some. >> the explanation given to me was that there was an understanding the white house with a uninterested this really getting involved in this kind of way. i think at the time in late june, the president only committed to sending some special operations teams to iraq to assess the situation even though the iraqi government had requested u.s. air strikes for

several months at that point, are the obama administration was wary to get involved let alone in syria where they were effectively at odds with the united states. so the white house was in a very different place at that time. but the intelligence community and military were seeing this as a very serious threat. >> is there a suggestion that anything that is happening now would have been changed by something we did then? >> it's hard to say. obviously there is a sense that when you're a hammer the world is a nail. so if your job is to track al qaeda, jihadists in syria, you want to try to take as much action as possible. but there was a formal warning to some airliners that they had to do a screening. when those public warnings went out, my sources say the khorasan group effectively went dark and

the plot that we thought was imminent over the summer did not materialize. that apparently is the seam plot that is still a concern today, though it's unclear whether it's in the final phases. certainly not as imminent as was suggested last week. >> eli, great to talk with you. thanks. keep in mind what he just said. his reporting is that they knew that khorasan group shut town midd down middle of the summer. and yet last month, the administration suggested attacks were imminent. that was the roeason they had t strike. something to keep in mind. some parents in texas say they're keeping their children out of school as medical experts

a doctor has now determined family members of the first patient dying thoiagnosed with e not showing any symptoms. meantime kids are worried classmates could have the ebola virus. but that's not how the stuff is transmitted. but that's according to a student. it all comes after health officials announced five students had some sort of contact with the ebola patient. the schools are all just a short distance from the apartment complex where investigators say the patient had been staying. school administrators say none

of the five students have shown any symptoms and health firnls a officials are monitoring them at home. janitors have been diseneffecting the areas where the students have been. still parents have pulled their children from school to make sure their sons and daughters don't contract the disease. one challenge in keeping parents updated is that folks in the area speak more than 30 different languages. lee a gabriel has more. >> the school district said attend tapts and is 85%. and they're trying to be proactive in keeping parents performed.and they're trying to be proactive in keeping parents performed. they sent out a letter explaining the situation in seven different languages. the kids attended a middle school, high school, and two elementary schools.

and a fifth school, another elementary that shares grounds with one of the affected schools, some parents say they just want more information. >> if it was a new class, i'll be ten times more pissed than i already am. i think they should tell us who was it. what class are they in. they need to let us know. >> but a parent who attends the fifth school wasn't nearly as concerned. >> we'll let her go to school. she's a bright kid. and we'll just function as normal. but we do have to live aware. >> and the school district also launched a website and hotline where parents can get the most up-to-date information. >> seems like overkill. people need to know if you have not touched the bodily fluids of a patient that has ebola, you will not get it. that simple. >> they're taking precautions as

far as cleaning. a typical school has two janitor, but they brought in about four extra janitors per school. he says the schools already have a pretty rigorous cleaning process, but they're actually just doing an even more in-depth cleaning. here's what the superintendent had to say today. >> our nurses are making two rounds during the school gay da every classroom. just to check if people have questions or any symptoms of anything. and so we're being vigilant there. >> and parents may also be worried about school buses. an official tells me that the district is coordinating with the county to figure out which school buses children who were exposed to ebola may have been riding on and those buses will get a more thorough cleaning.

>> lea, thank you. bottom line, if the school bus doesn't have bodily fluids in it, you're fine. and if you don't ingest those bodily fluids even if they're there, it's fine. basically it's fine. a man who spent a few days in an ebola isolation unit says it was lonely and scary. he had just for the p back from sierra leone. doctors doctors quarantined him just to be sure. eric silverman is live with us. >> thanks for having me. >> lonely and weird i'm guessing. >> definitely a surreal experience for me. i couldn't really talk to anybody or see nianyone. nip who came in contact with me had to be wearing a spacesuit and they limited it to one nurse

if you look at the number of people underemployed, underemployed, dropped out of the labor force, that jobless rate doubles to 12%. so lots of pain still in the jobs market. people not necessarily finding what they're looking for. >> and record jobs in factory orders. >> it's an outlier. boeing had big orders the month before but not this time. it changes every month. i say don't worry about that one. >> all right. something else not to worry about. i'm focused on alabama. >> sounds good to me. >> theresa, a star of housewives of new jersey, still awaiting her fate.

would he would propose talks. the umbrella group runs these protests has welcomed that, but you th they wanted more. they wanted his resignation. so it's unlikely to take the students off the streets. so very critical hours ahead. >> any sign of officials in beijing getting involved? >> not this any dramatic way. officials in beijing are saying little publicly. but it is interesting to note that over the last two days, the people's daily newspaper has public lshed editorials critica saying placing the political demands of a minority above the law, undermining the core values

of hong kong and its spirit of rule of law. and officials in hong kong itself have plromised what they call, quote, serious cops defenses if those protesters do not ultimately leave the streets. that kind of language reminds some of the kind of editor yards that are were published back in april 1989. that was the precursor for tiananmen square. >> thank you. in japan, most victims died when they got hit by rocks and boulders. rocks hurled at up to 190 miles an hour. tokyo fire department released video showing rescuers carrying some victims. they have pulled over 50 bodies
