first we are watching several developments in the effort to prevent ebola from spreading. in new jersey, a sick passenger who arrived on an international flight is now being examined by officials from the centers for disease cjjy in dallas, ebola victim thomas duncan was told he's taken a turn for the worse. now in critical condition there. this as his family remainj under quarantine in a private home as their apartment where duncan stayed has been stripped and sanitized. we have live team coverage with peter doocy in washington with the very latest from the federal government. first let's go to bryan llenas about what happened on flight 998. >> reporter: 35-year-old male passenger and his daughter are now at a hospital in newark. the man was vomiting on board united airlines flight 998 from brussels, belgium. the plane landed at 12:15 p.m. and was put on lockdown at the

gate as the cdc responded. escorted the sick man and his daughter off of the plane. this photo from passengers shows immigration customs agents on board. passengers were held on báq for about two hours and then two more hours in customs. they were told not to worry. >> this is nothing to panic. just being evaluated, we're @&c@ fine. >> nothing to panic. they just gave us a sheet. they didn't know who the guy was. >> let's get out of here. we almost got out. no. wait. then we filled out a form, which the airline has all this information anyway. we fill out the formthen sit around, wait. they were waiting for -- >> this is the form. it has tips for those possibly exposed to ebola. there is about 255 passengers on that flight with 14 crew members. remember, thomas eric duncan, the first man diagnosed with ebola in the u.s., traveled

through brussels on his way to the united states. he is in critical condition. on friday, his four family members were relocated to a private home in a gated community offered up by a volunteer as private haz-mat teams moved in to decontaminate the apartment where he stayed. his bed sheets, towels, mattress, his personal belongings have been sealed in industrial barrels to be destroyed. meanwhile, texas health officials continue to monitor of contact with duncan getting their temperatures taken daily. so far no one is showing any symptoms. >> and this comes as more calls for potential travel bans on some international flights. >> thanks so much. we continue our team coverage on this with a closer look at what the government is doing to protect ame)icans from this often deadly disease. the director of the centers for disease control addressing the ebola crisis this morning. peter doocy picking up the story

from washington. >> reporter: this afternoon, the cdc director explained his expert opinion that closing borders to the united states would not stop the spread of ebola here. he thinks making it harder for american experts to get into hot spots in africa would only make matters on a global scale worse. >> although we might wish we could seal ou)selves off from the world, there are americans who have the right of return. there are many others who have the right to enter into this country. and that we're not going to be able to get to zero risk no matter what we do unless and until we control the outbreak in west africa. that's what we're working very intensively to do. >> reporter: state department officials are saying basically the same thing. they don't support preventing people from coming and going into the united states on a broad scale. and the white house held a special briefing with counter terror and homeland security officials to express public confidence in the ebola

protocols that are already in place. >> i want to emphasize that the united states is prepared to deal with this crisis in the world and at home. every ebola crisis over the past 40 years has been stopped. we know how to do this and we will do it again with america's leadership, president obama is confident that this epidemic will also be stopped. >> reporter: here in washington just two miles from the white house, a patient at howard university hospital was thought to be possibly sick with ebola, but officials monitored this person for classic ebola symptoms like fever, pleading from the eyes and an awful rash. they determined that he or she is very sick, just not with ebola. arthel? @&c@ >> thanks so much for that update. despite the government assurances, there are now today new calls for a travel ban op

flights from the affected african countries or those from connecting flights. the department of homeland security and the cdc say the risk is minimal and the agencies have established some procedures, like screening passengers in the airport by taking temperatures and questioning them. airlines must also report any illnesses or deaths that occur during a flight that. is what happened with flight 998. the cdc has quarantined stations at 20 major u.s. airports and also at some border crossings. -planes get a thorough cleaning at least once a day. even though our government has not instituted a travel ban or thinks one is needed now, lots of other countries do. in africa, 26 nations have instituted a ban or restrictions. so far including south africa and kenya. we're going to get more on the ebola outbreak in west africa and what is being done to

combat the disease and prevent more cases for coming from@ abroad. tune in to fox news sunday when the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases sits down with c$ris wallace. check your local listings for show times. a fox news alert. strong new reaction against isis following yet another brutal beheading of an innocent hostage of the the terror group posting video of the apparent execution of alan henning, a british citizen who waj kidnapped months ago while delivering ai" to syrian refugees. this as the &ife of another american hostage, former army ranger peter kassig hangs in the balance. with the terror group threatening to make him their next victim. leeland vittert has more. >> reporter: it took the national security council to confirm peter kassic is in the hands of isis. they release the video by displaying another hostage and

saying he's next. hallian henning was a british aid worker kidnapped in syria and held by isis. he makes a statement in the video, clearly under duress in the minutes before his execution. on the tape, what appears to be the same masked executioner as in previous isis videos speaks with a strong british accent and says because the american air strikes in syria, he would be next. kassic did time in iraq before being medically discharged in 2007. he's from indiana and went to the middle east as an aid worker who was abducted in lebanon while helping syrian refugees, then turned over to isis. his abduction and detention by isis was nu publicly reported until now. hráh(arents took to youtube to issue a desperate plea. >> we are so very proud of you and the work you have done to bring humanitarian aid to the syrian people. we implore those who are holding you to show mercy and use their

power to lqá you go. >> reporter: in recent weeks, isis has executed four western hostages and posted their videos of two americans and two brits. it's unclear how many additional western hostages isis holds. national security council issued a statement saying they would continue to use every tool at their disposal, including the u.s. military, to bring peter home. arthel. thank you very much. the crisis in hong kong. it's past 6:00 o'clock in the morning there. the massive pro democracy protest in the street continues. we could be at a crisis point. the demonstrators remain in that downtown business district. they have occupied i a week. police arrested about 20 of them last night and early this morning usint tear gas, as you can see. the protesters demanding the city's leader steps down and that beijing reverse that decision to pick candidates for the next election. the hong kong government though, is warning the streets must be cleared by those demonstrators by monday. meanwhile, the police are denying rumors of any connection

to some gangs who attacked a protest camps yesterday. meanwhile, north korea presumtive number two making a surprise trip to south korea. the northern korean delegation attending the closing ceremony of the asian games and in a meeting with south korean officials, they agreed to hold a new round of high level talks later this month or early november. this comes as rumors continue about north korea's leader's health. he has made no public appearances since september 3. harvard university stepping up security today after hundreds of students and others who are afill i can't telled with the school received a racially charged e-mail, death threat. the harvard university campus police saying it has notified local law enforcement and the f.b.i. >> been here for three years and this is probably one of the scariest things not just because of the actual act and threat, but just the target itself.

>> obviously demoralizing for the students that got e-mail. it's always really discouraging when you hear that blatant racism. >> harvard university police say they do believe the e-mail likely originated from somewhere outside our country. a new jersey nun who died young back in the 20s is one step closer to becoming a saint. she was beatified today. her miracle, she's credited with cursing a boy's eye disease, part of a special mass in newark is the first such ceremony ever in the united states. she was a nun for only two years before dying. her miracle was certified by pope franciáy beatification is third of a four-step process to sainthood. is it getting hot out west? a heat wave gripping california. it's good news for beach goers who have been taking advantage of the sun and surf.

you know, could come at a price. all those rising temperatures also raise new concerns about janis dean live from the fox extreme weather center with more on this. they do not need more wonderfuls out in california. >> the drought has been significant and will continue to be so. we're not geáting any moisture here and the temperatures are so warm. look at what we are dealing with right now. current temperatures, l.a., 95. santa a in a, -- we really need to get the moisture in because the drought has been so significant. so the highs tomorrow again in the 80s. high 80s into the 90s for los angeles. the drought monitor is just significant. severe to exceptional drought. over 95%. this is historic and in the foreseeable future, we're not going to get any moisture. you would think this hurricane, like this, hurricane simon, an active season in the pacific, maybe some of that moisture

might get into southern california. unfortunately, they're not going to see the benefits of this. we're watching this hurricane as it continues to kind of curve and baha, california could get @ more rain and wind over the next couple of days. that's unfortunate because this area has been battered by storm after storm. on the flip side of this, it is cool. cooler than average, maybe record setting cold across the upper midwest and the great lakes, in towards the northeast. those are your lows tonight. we have freeze advisories for so it looks like fall is here to stay. in some cases we saw the first measurable snowfall this morning across the upper midwest. back to you. >> wow, sounds like winter in one part of the country and summer on the other. >> the tale of two extremes. yep. >> thanks so much. by the way, it's a beautiful ceremony, but the nun was beatified. okay. coming up, unemployment dropping below 6% for the first time since the start of the recession. why our guests coming up think

that's about half what it ought to be and what the government should be doing about it. and he was one of the world's youngest presidents, then he called himself president for life. now the ex-dictator of haiti is dead. more brutality in the middle east with even more promise. does this put more pressure on our presr"ent and other global leaders to do more to address the crisis? >> the murder of alan henning is absolutely abhorrent. it's senseless. it is completely unforgivable. we must do everything we can to find the people who are responsible for this. >> alan henning was a man of great peace, kindness and sentiment.

time for a quick check of a medical helicopter crashing in northern texas carrying #our people and went down early this morning only a few blocks away from the hospital where it was headed. a patient on board died. two medical personnel are in critical condition. the pilot is in serious but stable condition. the cause of the crash is under investigation. former haitian dictator duvalier has died. the 63-year-old known as baby doc, died of a heart attack in

haiti. his corrupt and brutal regime átp)ked an uprising in 1986 that sent him into a 25-year exile. a woman with a transplanted uterus giving birth to a baby boy in sweden. 36-year-old woman learned she had no uterus when she was 15 years old. but after receiving one from a 61-year-old family friend, she now has become a mother. miracle, the boy named vincent, was born after 31 weeks of @&c pregnancy weighing in at 3.9 pounds. experts say this could open up a new alternative for some women@ who are unable to have children. there is strong condemnation from around the world after another unspeakable act of inhumanity by those radical islamist terrorists of isis. beheading a british citizen who was there to help. now the isis terrorists city the u.s. army veteran is next. he's 26. from indiana. he served as an army ranger in

iraq in 2007. he went back to the middle east to help people in syria. setting up a foundation for besieged syrian refugees. how does peter's capture and the continued beheadings play into this continuing crisis? tammy bruce is a radio talk show host, doug schoen also. doug, americans are outraged, we're sickened and full of sympathy for the isis victims and their families. how does this continued string of beheadings affect the administration and what it does? >> it has to affect the administration. i think we heard david cameron, his words were eloquent. but words are only so much. we need action. we need to not only find the people who have perpetrated this barbarous act, but we need to make it clear we're coming after them, we're going to degrade and destroy them. we need to make this a world wide priority and the highest

priority of our foreign policy now and in the future. >> tammy, it seems isis isn't getting the message. >> well, it's interesting. on twitter there was a tweet about what isis is doing this weekend with the muslim holiday, that they were going tz be partying in syria. the photographs of them eating and having dinner, of getting bonuses and they seem to be unmolested in their cities in syria. so clearly there has got to be a response. when it comes to the impact on obama, already we're seeing especially through that fox news poll, i think the american reaction to obama's lack of action is already baked in. )rn after deciding tonb syria and to do some bombing on isis, there wasn't very much of a move from his very lowest point in september. so the american people have grown i think quite distrustful, if you will, of the nature of statements that are made, as doug noted. comments, statements, speeches but there has to be action. we also see isis moving more

forward to baghdad and the baghdad airport. so there doesn't seem to be much of an impact. i think the regime, the obama regime will need to make some additional choices to really have an obvious impact on these savages. >> you talk about what the obama administration is doing. let's look at the two polls. one about what the administration is doing. our fox poll shows is u.s. military action against isis, what do they think about it? more than half of americans don't think it's aggressive enough. another poll question was, does the obama adminrjtration have a clear strategy for defeating isis? look, it's overwhelming. 64%, overwhelming no. so doug, how does the administration deal with that and can they? >> well, first, let me spv eric, while the polls are clear and unambiguous, this is not primarily a political problem. this is not an election problem. this is a problem of our democracy, our freedom, our

values, and standing up as the american people want us to to brutal killers. so what they need to do is to develop a strategy involving both the europeans and arab nations that support us to do more than just bombing to countenance the possibility of supporting directly or indirectly, boots on the ground to go after isis to eliminate them. without a strategy, without greater aggressiveness, we will fail. if we fail or if we succeed, we do so as a nation. not democrats or republicans. >> can i add something? >> go ahead. >> just this latest beheading of the british worker is that we're look at a lot of hopefully cameron makes speeches, but they're look at hopefully really mobilizing more of the british people because the action that england takes will be key. of course, now they're@ threatening another american with beheading, a man who is a soldier and now is a humanitarian. so this is an opportunity to

continue to organize europe as doug has noted is imperative, but also muslims around the world who are becoming more and more appalled at the nature of what's transpiring. >> talk about peter kassig. talk about a great american. someone who embodies the american spirit and the nobility and what we do in this country, it is so crushingly sad. he gave an interview to time magazine last year and he said one of the best aspects of the american way of life is our ability to come together in the face of adversity and to stand beside those who might need a helping hand. that's how he dedicated his life. that's what he is doing and doug, so sadly, potentially that is what he will pay the price for, by trying to help those people. >> what mr. kassic said are heroic words, stated by a true american hero. i think i join every american in praying for him, but let me be clear, our commander in chief has to make it clear that there will be consequences, immediate consequences for isis if another

american is harmed in any shape, manner or form. we as a people have to dedicate ourselves to that principle and as tammy said rightly, it's not just speeches. it's action. >> doug and tammy, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> our hearts and hopes are with peter and his family. >> absolutely. >> thank you. indeed. agreed. the unemployment rate dropping to its lowest point since 2008. next we're going to take a look at what it means for the job your bottom line. >> and too fat to fight? how áhe obesity epidemic is posing a serious problem for military recruiters and what can be do'e about it. know that proper allocation could help increase returns so you can enjoy that second home sooner. know the right financial planning can help you save

u.s. and coalition war planes pounding the terrorists, but isis continuing to advance with heavy fighting on the

border between syria and turkey. that's posing new challenges for the coalition and greg palkot has more now from the conflict zone. >> reporter: isis terrorists continue to pound the strategic syrian border town. we were near there today and watched as isis used tanks, artillery and mortars. the siege has been going on for two weeks, but fighting intensified in the last two days. we also heard small arms fire indicating close quarter combat by the town defenders. all of this despite four u.s. positions near the town last night. isis guns, vehicles and an ammo dump were hit. no tanks were struck. we saw three plainly out in the open yesterday. we also saw and breathed in some clashes today even closer than that. take a look. p>> tear gas, armored personnel carriers and turkish soldiers

filled the area here. the kurds on this side of the border, wanting turkey to do more for the folks on the other side of the border. in a mile away, isis terrorists are battling with kurdish fighters. it is a long fig$t. it is a hard fight for them. the folks here for getting involved. >> the turkish military was out in big numbers to deal with those protesters, including some of the many refugee, while the turkish prime minister said turkey would not let kabani fall, he's back pedaled on that. turkey has problems with its sometimes rebellious kurds that now seem reluctant to help. today is the start of a big muslim holiday. there was some talk of a cease fire. apparently that was just talk. arthel? >> greg, thank you very much. remember these famous army recruiting poster? uncle sam wants you? maybe uncle sam doesn't really want everybody because the army

and the pentagon are tightening the head of army recruiting says many young americans today fail to qualify. will carr is live from los angeles with the details. hi, will. >> reporter: hi. right now 70% of the young adults in the united states are not in the position to be all they can be. one of the biggest reasons is because they're overweight and army recruiters say that obesity is a huge problem right now, about a third of recruits are automatically disqualified because they're obese. the number mirrors stats from the cdc. 35% of adults in the united states, 20 years and older, are considered to be medically obese. add in the fact that high school graduation rates are dropping and the department of defense has cut the army's number of active duty service members that army recruiters say it's not as easy to join the army as it used to be. >> if we're going to be your last resort, you have to be highly qualified. we are not looking for just

anybody. we want the best of the best. >> reporter: the army also recently announced it's cracking down on tattoos, adding restrictions. you can still have them, but they can't be as visible and as you might think, that comes with some controversy. >> it's an expression to me because it's an expression of who i am and what i love. it let's me outwardly express it. >> i'll make my point and get mine ahead of time that, way i can be grandfathered in. >> reporter: recruiters say @&c they're looking for young adults who are professional, who have good work ethic and of course, who are in good shape. >> when your drill soldier says get down and give me 50, you got to be able to do it. thank you. >> that's right. or give them $50. >> no, not that. >> can you drop and give me 50? >> no. -we move on. the nation's unemployment rate dropping below 6% for the first time since 2008. the labor department says 248,000 jobs were created last

month, but the labor force participation rate fell to a three-decade low of 62.7%. and wages still need to rise significantly. so what does all this mean for us? ed is here, a partner of chapwood investments. you know all about this. really a lot of stats i just spit out there. what does it all mean, ed? >> it's a great question because the press right now is just repeating headlines. so let's take a step back and really understand. think of the united states as a company. %hink of it as usa incorporated. what we need is revenue because the only way we get money to pay our expenses is through taxes. one of the great ways we can get taxes is by net new jobs. more importantly, full time net new jobs. so even though we have a rate that has dropped, we still are grossly inadequate in terms of new full-time jobs. last month we had 100,000 of those net new jobs were

part-time. so think about, 148,000 net new jobs this month. we need, in order to get enough tax revenue, 470,000 net new full-time jobs a month for 12 months just to get us close to paying our existing bills. we're nowhere close to that. >> some othq) financial experts saying -- they're point tz go stagnant hourly wages. what does that mean for working americans? >> that's not good either. that comes from a slow economy as well. there is no pricing pressure. when you have a healthy economy, wages start to rise. you have more new net jobs. so the one thing that has happened is we've seen that rate go down, but that's againas you said, we have the lowest participation rate since 1978. and here is something that very few people have talked about. of the 248,000 new jobs this past month, 238,000 of them went to the age group of 55 to 69 years of age. so most of the jobs went to older people and that's not bad

because older people need jobs, too. but it's not getting it to the younger person and helping that young group find new work. >> yeah, but isn't that group, the older group, if you will, aren't they the ones who are most underemployed, ed? >> well, probably, but i think you can ask a lot of people in their late 20s and early 30s, they're underemployed as well. the whole thing is an absolute mess and it could be fixed. we can fix this if we change our policies and that's not happening any time soo' because you don't hear anyone talking about cutting corporate taxes to stimulate the tax base. i've said it for years and i'll say it again, we're never going to get out of this ma lace until we change our fiscal policy by cutting taxes. it's just not going to happen. >> okay. so ed, a 5.9% unemployment rate, are you saying we're not looking at an overa&l economic turn around? >> no, not whatsoever. it's nice to see we're averaging 225,000 new jobs a month for the last nine months. that's woeful in terms of where we should be.

it's about 47% of wherq we need to be and those need to be full-time jobs and they're not. so again, i like the fact that we're getting some new jobs, but bqcause we're spending so much money in this country, we're going -- right now we're $550 billion, round it up to $600 billion short. so we have to print money. when we print money, we add to our long-term debt. we're not getting better. i want us to. but there is ways to do it, but we're not doing it. >> you're suggesting we're not getting better. we're printing more money, that's partially because more and more people continue to be underemployed. older and younger, if you will. >> that's right. >> so they done have the extra cash to pump back into the economy? >> that's exactly right. that's exactly the way we have to look at it. i love that it's down 5.9% and you'll hear people say wow, it's getting better. well, they're not. unfortunately, we want them to. but they're not. we need about three times more net new full-time jobs a month

to goal us healthy. >> do you have a straight answer how to get those? >> obviously we can say it all day long, but it's the truth. there is too much regulation. there is too much fear mongering out there. there is too much playing one side off the other side. all we have to do right now, there is a lot more to it than this. but we got to get rid of the things holding the economy down and that's taxes and regulation and this little thing called obamacare is keeping people from hiring, too, 'cause it's keeping me from hiring a little bit and keeping a lot of big employers from hiring because it's a big cost to employers. so all three of those things, if we somehow deal with them, we'll start to get thrj economy going. >> okay. ed, thank you very much. if i come knocking for a job, i hope you'll hire me. >> in a minute. >> thank you. good to see you. you know how they say too much sugar is bad for you? coming up, one place is trying to do something about it. we will tale you about the latest effort in one state to impose a tax on soda and other sugary drinks. and the u.s. secret service

suffering a series of embarrassing security failures. now a promise to overhaul the agency. so how exactly will that work? what was behind the initial breakdown in the first place? >> i'm more focused on what we need to do to ask the hard questions and rebuild trust and confidence try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. ♪ ♪ ♪

jeh johnson vowing to transform and reform, he says, the agency's embarrassing and shocking high profile security failures. agency director julia pierson was forced to suddenly step down last week in the wake of those security breakdowns. susan estridge is a professor of law in political science at usc and joins us now. as a presidential campaign manager, you've had a lot of experience and interaction with the secret service. johnson vows to, quote, rebuild trust and confidence. how can he do that? >> well, he facej a real challenge. let me say at the outset, eric that over the course of, i don't know, two decades, i've dealt with hundreds and hundreds of secret service agents, men and women, who were brave beyond words, put their lives on the utne every time they walked of an airplane, protecting a candidate, protecting the president. i have enormous respect for the

men and women who choose that career and protect our nation's leaders, whether it's republican or democrat. but obviously there are problems in the agency. obviously those problems go beyond whether president obama picked the right woman or not three years ago. so it's going to be a real challenge to figure out whether it's a matter of procedures, whether there has been a kind of cultural breakdown inside the secret service, whether they have the resources they need, whether the quantity of threats -- we know this president has been the target of many, many threats, disproportionate number of threats. do they have the resources to deal with them? and why is it the things that shouldn't be so hard, like keeping an armed felon away from the white house, have seemed to stymie some of these brave men and women who we ten on. >> absolutely right. i covered presidential campaigns

and -- our hats off because of , potentially taking a bullet and sacrificing their lives for those who they protect. >> yep. >> that's a question i have. you got those socialites who came on line and went into the white house. whacko runs across the line through the lawn, running into the white house, just lock the door. then the elevator incident with someone who is armed. it's unfair disservice to the dedication and the courage of the men and women who are sworn to protect? >> yes. i mean, i have found it very painful this week. i don't know about you. like you, we've seen these folks. we've seen them get in front of us. when i was running a campaign, i would see the threats. i was myself the target of threats. and we put our lives in our hands -- those folks take that

responsibility willingly and do it every single day and all the days we hear nothing is the days these folks are doing their jobs. at the same time, you see the guy running across the lawn and you say to yourself, my god, how can it be that my front lawn is more secure than barak obama's? the other thing that worries me, frankly, is that we got to keep this out of the partisan bickering. one of the troubling things last week was everybody was saying the right thing. you had darrell issa couldn't be a stronger critic of president obama standing there and asking miss pierson, how can you let this happen to the president and to the first lady and the first family? at the same time, a lot of my democratic friends are worried that this is goi'g to be used for political reasons, that it's going to be used to try to show that this administration is incompetent, that they can't do obamacare, they can't do the secret service. and i just hope that we can all,

both in the media, the politicians, and among voters, put aside our partisan bickering for 20 seconds and try to see this as an issue that is beyond and above politics because frankly, if anybody had an interest in protecting the president here, it's the president who is protecting his own family. >> yeah. and they are incredibly successful. and finally, briefly, you said you had been the target of death threats. what's that like? personally when you got this stuff and thankfully you can look next to you, and you have that big guy with that thing in his ear and you know they're standing next to you, there is an unspoken camaraderie between you. >> you're grateful. okay? i am extremely grateful to the secret service 'cause they were protecting me. they were protecting my candidates. look what happened, you and i are old enough to remember look what happened with president
