that duncan is the second person to die after transporting to the hospital and back, an ebola patient in liberia died. the folks in dallas are not out of concern yet. best way to prevent ebola, is to contain its source. they are teaching them how to deal with patients so they don't become infected. dr. young is leading the program. >> arming them with the mindset to work safely in west africa and be aware of what they are doing and what parts of the body they are touching. if they are touching their face don't do it with a contaminated hand. >> among the students samaritan's purse who had the first american doctor infected
10:02 am
with ebola who got better after being treated at emory hospital. the students have a healthy fear of going to west africa. but they are still going. >> i really didn't ask anybody whether to go. i just felt like this is where god wants me to go go. and i asked for my family to support me but i didn't ask them for permission. >> the doctor do the nato and one of the other nurses for samarit an's person worked in the colera clinics in haiti. but they tell us that ebola is a different ball game. >> thank you very much. we'll continue to follow the developing story. >> this is "happening now". a brazen new threat from isis.

10:04 am
falling under isis chrome. >> i am shannon bream. >> and i am eric shaun in for jon scott. >> a lot of explosions on the turkish border. that as kurdish forces battle isis. they are hoping to keep the isis forces to from seizing ka boni. they are pleading with world powers to save this town as protestors in turkey demand that their country intervened. the fbi is asking for your help. this is a terrorist featured in the isis video. speaking with a north american accent and orchest traits the mass execution of syrian
10:05 am
soldiers. who is he? kathryn has the details in washington. >> reporter: after a biomettics analysis, the executioner is believed to be from the midwest in america. e chunk of the propaganda ruled video was posted by the fbi. >> we are here with the soldiers and you can see them digging their own graves in the place where they were stationed. and the place where they were stationed and terrorizing the muslims. it will be carried out on the same soldiers while the brothers capture them and behind them the officer residence filled with bullet holes from the islamic state. >> other leads were pursued before the fbi made the decision to launch the tip line. they want help identifying the
10:06 am
executioner and other americans trying to join isis. the largest office in new york said isis is learning from the past mistakes and the voice on the video may not belong to the executioner. >> it is a possibility that that is not the voice of the individual. it could be a voice over for the tape itself. because the mouth is covered fairly well. that may not be true but it is a possibility. >> if the executioner is confirmed to be a u.s. citizen that is the first time that a u.s. citizen engaged in a mass execution for the terrorist group isis, eric. >> when it comes to propaganda, it seems they are sophisticated. >> thank you. nin the fight against isis and fight for kobani.
10:07 am
they know the turkish president will be here and why is turkey dragging its feet when it comes to taking on the terrorist group. >> prime minister tony avid said the government is trying to outlaw radical islamist group. >> as far as i am concerned, this will stop. and people who come to this country from overseas to pedal extremist ideology and divide australia from australia and give explicit support for terrorism, don't bother applying. >> last week australia's government approved jet fighters in iraq as part of the u.s.- led coalition battling isis. npolitical pundits are watching seven races to determine which party controls the senate.
10:08 am
colorado, iowa and north carolina are key states to watch. we have our eyes on a bunch of other ones, to. voters are excited about nobody. the mood of voter anger over the status quo. just one month before the election it is not clear what the midterm contest is about. joining me now betsy who is a political waterer and shane deapril president of election magazine. good to see you both. shannon, what about the theme. no one excited about what to vote for. a lot of it according to the polling is people voting for or against someone. >> we see it in poll after poll. >> there is a pessimism out there and doesn't have voter
10:09 am
enthusiasm to begin with and why democratic pundits are in tough spots in trying to hold on to the senate and a turn out landscape that favors republicans. we know that older voters tend to come out and electorate looks more republican than it does in presidential election year. and you add on to that the fact that there is overall pessimism in the leadership in washington. and president obama's numbers in some of the states where democrats are in key senate races and colorado and iowa and north carolina and even in the states that president obama won handedly. and iowa waand colorado are two examples. they don't want him anywhere near their campaigns and certainly a drag on national democrats in the individual states and nationally. >> we know that democrats have done well in garner are --
10:10 am
garnering money. it would be to overcome the anger and frustration with this administration. >> it is not going to hurt. it is an essential ingredient that the candidate raise tons and tons of cash and in one state in particular it is north carolina where we have seen kay haggen pull away from her republican challenger tom tillis. that is not to suggest that the republicans haven't had great fund raising and tom cotton, had a record- breaking fund-raising quarter this past quarter and likely that will be helpful for him in november. it remains to be seen and going to be key if democrats take hold in the senate. >> it is senators, and others tried to voke willy dissociate
10:11 am
themselves with a lot of the policys if not the president himself. how successful will that be with them. so many gop assets shoes picture of them together and they want to link every image in a potential voters mind that democratic incumbent is in lock with the president. >> it is a fine line. on one hand you need democratic turn out and the base to turn out if they are going to actually win the races and you can't alienate the independents who are looking like they are more likely to turn out given that it is a midterm year. >> democrats are hanging on arkansas and louisiana and alaska as you mention. and there are signs and polling and republicans are starting to
10:12 am
kind of turn the tide a little bit against the democratic incumbent. and that is key. those are states that republicans nationally are looking at as some of the take off so to speak and that allows you to expand the playing field. and gets pulls from one race and concentrated in other areas and as betsy mentioned, the massive amount of money kay ha gen raised and outside dollars that are coming in the race and republicans and national groups are concentrating more fire and money in north carolina because that is a race that republicans thought they had a great shot at with kay hagen. >> and mark udoll holding on to his seat in colorado? >> i think what is surprising about the cycle is obama care is not central. if you asked them what day of
10:13 am
the week it was, was obama care. that is hurting the republican candidates. >> we'll see. >> thank you, both today. >> thank you for having us. >> big changes are coming to the airport to you. first person diagnosed with ebola here in the united states passed away from the disease. what you need to know before you board a plane. >> new details of the deadly shooting of the mayor in california. the 911 call that could impact the murder investigation. >> i have to report an emergency. there is shots fired. >> where is your friend that got shot? >> he's in the house. it wasn't my mom's fault.
10:14 am
10:15 am
10:16 am
10:17 am
>> new details in the fatal shooting. there was a 911 call made by his son moments after the mayor's wife shot the gun. >> it was my father. it was not my mom's fault. >> your mom shot your father? >> yes. he was hurting me. >> his wife claimed she shot in self defense after he attacked her son. the investigations are ongoing and no arrests have been made. >> fox news alert on our top story. the fallout on the first person diagnosed with ebola has died. thomas duncan the got sick soon after land nothing dallas. the associated press report that agents will take temperatures of
10:18 am
passengers who arrive here from africa at five major airports. >> there is growing skeptism about the measure that the government is taken. in view of the fact our medical system was unable to save duncan. banning flights from ebola countries is limiting aid and medicine to the affected zone and allowing the virus proliferate. critics disagree. and doubts further fuelled when the deputy secretary of homeland security tried to reassure the public indicating that custom and border protection officers will step up their screening. >> there is increases in the screening of passengers leaving the affected countries and we are evaluating what additional
10:19 am
measures we can take both domestically and elsewhere to guard against the threat. >> and the white house just confirmed reports that passengers from west africa will have temperatures taken at the five u.s. airports that handle 94 percent of the traffic in that region. they enclude jfk and dulles outside of washington and o'hare and chicago. and newark liberty in new jersey. an infectious disease specialist told shannon bream on "happening now" that banning travel to and from west african countries is not necessary. >> 30000 people died of influenza and the virus comes from china each year. we need to identify the cases and educate folks to not have contact. >> and secretary of state john
10:20 am
kerry said what is urgently needed is money from the international committee. it is not a moment to waste, eric. >> and 20 minutes from now. shannon will talk to another expert about how to stop ebola. >> eric islamic terrorist in a fierce battle to seize a syrian town. with isis on the move why is turkey dragging its feet. >> dangerous cargo it is carrying and filling and forcing evacuation. >> it is scary for people. i think more has to be done. i'm type e. my golden years will not just be gold plated. i had 3 different 401(k)s. e*trade offers rollover options and a retirement planning calculator. now i know "when" i'm going to retire. not "if."

10:24 am
has mat crews responding to a scene of a fiery train accident in canada. 50 people were forced to leave their homes. the train was carrying other dangerous cargo. but the good news is that no one was hurt. >> can kaboni with saved? it seems thoo unlikely that the isis terrorist will not get their way. the black flag of isis was raised in several spots in the town and great fears that 12000 of the citizens will be massacred. this has troops in turkey sit and watch it all and not doing a thing. the world leaders are calling on the turbish government to step up and help in the battle. so far, they have not. the world has seen what happens
10:25 am
when a see is overtaken by a terrorist group. massacres and horrific violence and the international community cannot sustain another city falling under isil. what is needed is concrete action. the world and all of us will deeply regret in isil will take over. they are on the verge of doing that. rick has dealt with the president of turkey. rick, this is unbelievable. turkey is a nato ally and why are they sitting on the sidelines. >> turkey has misgivings about getting involved. they had a political problem with the kurds for a time. this is not a surprise for the obama administration. political turmoil in turkey between the government and the kurds is a long- standing
10:26 am
problem. the kurds want a uton me in turkey. and the fact that the government is not interested or really taking a step back from helping the kurds on the other side is not a surprise. they have three different demands. the government wants there to be a substantive approach to end this. they have been talking for a very long time about the hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring over their border. no one listened to them. certainly the obama administration didn't listen to them. they want assad, long- standing nemessis to be imploded. and they want him out of power and bring down the assad government. i think that is an area where the united states could be helpful. if we want turkey's help in
10:27 am
securing the border and making sure there is not a slaughter, we should recognize assad gone and that is a priority for the united states. we said it and we should work with the turks to make it happen. >> he is willing to have the blood of thousands of kurds on his hands while he is waiting and hoping to do something about assad. is he willing to do that? >> he already has the blood of kurds on his hand. they argue that it is a long- standing policy of turkey. and so again, we shouldn't be surprised if there is an indifference in trying to help the kurks. that is a long-standing situation that bum bull administration should have seen coming. >> we warned the west we wanted
10:28 am
a no-fly zone and secure zone and training of moderate syrian rebels. and the terror will not be over unless we cooperate for a ground operation. is he willing to send the troops or not. what is he talking about? >> maybe he is. we have to explore that. this is a long- standing turkish policy to get rid of assad and try to do something in syria that brings about stability. >> you have met him and dealt with him in the u.n. >> i spent a lot of time in turkey and i have spent individual time with the president a ra gone. and i introduced my partner to him and his wife. his wife was not pleased to meet us. >> can he be trusted. >> i don't know. i think we need to explore and
10:29 am
test. that he speaks good english and understand that the the american people have a long- standing nato history with turkey. he was good about saying i appreciate the american people's support whether or not he recognizes the support that the u.s. government or bush or obama administration is another thing. he clearly understands the connections that the american people. >> joe biden apologized to him. >> yes. >> thank you so much. >> and the death of the dallas ebola patient and spanish authorities trying to spread the virus there after a nurse got infected, there are many unanswered questions about the virus and how to stop it. >> we have an update on "happening now". new information from the the london police on the arrest of four suspected terrorist.

thanks to angie's list, now it is. start shopping online from a list of top-rated providers. visit angieslist.com today. >> more new concerns about the spread of ebola after the death of thomas duncan frpt first person diagnosed with the virus in the u.s. that has has mat crews are disinfecting. a nurse in madrid is in stable condition. they are asking for help preventing the euthanizing the
10:34 am
dog. officials say there is no proof that the dog will not spread the virus. so the animal has to be put to sleep. the question of transmission of the virus is crucial a man of the infectious diseases and infectious disease position. doctor thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i have to be frank with you. people are skeptical and worried and feel like they are not getting the full story. we found one story cited by the cvc and showing conditions that the virus can live on surfaces up to six days. that is different than what we were told. is transmission possible in that way? what is your latest take on this? >> the study where they showed six days of survival is a lab study and things were done in
10:35 am
ideal conditions and temperature and humidity and all of those were controlled. it did last six days. that is not what the real world is like. viruss have to survive just like other type of material. sun and temperature and humidity degrade the virus. we don't expect it to live more than 24 hours outside of the body. >> what about the medical workers who came down with ebola and they know to wear gloves and disinfect. we had the spanish nurse and everybody said he was one of the most meticulous. dr. brantly. and both of them came down with it. we have the american cameraman working in liberia. and he can't remember an instance of when they picked it up. they know the protocol and yet, they are getting the virus?
10:36 am
>> ebola requires meticulous control. you have to wear the equipment and put it on the right way and take it off the right way so you don't contaminate yourself. it is hard to do. and why the cvc rotates people out of there and toward the end of their time, they get less careful and that's why we bring people back. we know that it affects the health care workers and they are hardest hit. you have to be careful when you deal with blood and body fluids and take it off appropriately and that's what i think when taking off the equipment she contaminated herself. >> what about the bodies of those who passed away with ebola. there is great sensitivity from the families and wanting them to have rituals and traditions of saying depend by. but when those bodies are not
10:37 am
properly disposed of. it may be difficult to stop the spread. do you know how long a virus can live on a corpse bodies have fostered the spread of ebola out break. when traditional burial practices. and when they wash and prepare it for burial that exposes them. and that is hard to get a handle on in west africa. there is distrust with the public health authorities, they don't heed the message of changing the burial practice. >> ebola can't be spread right now through air-borne means but said it is the not impossible. what kind of game- changer would
10:38 am
it be if that changed? >> it changes the way we respond and becomes much harder to control. think about measles for example. we have a measles outbreak. and that involves a lot of tracing. and there is no suggestion that ebola can do. that we have never seen blood and body transmissions and goes to airborne. it is just that it is a thought experiment and something you need to think about but not something that people should be panicked about. >> thank you so much for your time. >> thanks for having me. >> shannon, an update to a story that was breaking on "happening now". four london terrorist suspects are facing a second day of questioning on a planned significant isis terror attack in the united kingdom and fears of a possibility that they might
10:39 am
try to behead people on the streets. hi, amy. >> reporter: we are learning more about the four suspects rounded up yesterday. one of them is a medical student. eric, he is of moroccan origin and he had been studying medicine in sudan and had a home here with his mother and sister in west london and just returned from sudan on sunday evening and there is an isis connection now. they are saying that this could have been the first interferrance of an isis inspired plot. one of the suspects traveled to syria and had connections with isis, which in contrast to al-qaeda and affiliates who carry out sophisticated attacks and bombings like the july 7th
10:40 am
attacks in london. we have seen the beheadings in syria and isis members threatened to carry them out here in britain as well. these men may have been planning public beheadings like the one that happen with the murder of rib by. they are not saying it was a beheading plot. they were just leaks from the government. but the commissioner said last night, that the drum beat of terror is more intense and we have to be interventionist and means that plots that don't require much planning like knifings need to be irpt cented quickly. you can't wait and watch and monitor people. and the down side of that, there is less evidence collected for court and for churches and ultimately for convictions.
10:41 am
>> there is a precedent of that poor police officer. thank you, amy. >> a federal lawsuit for a traffic stop that got out of control. did police officers go too far? or were they enforcing the law? >> are you going to open the dor. >> people are getting hurt by the police. oh. dad, i know i haven't said this often enough, but thank you. thank you mom for protecting my future. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. if you're a current or former military member or their family, and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.
10:42 am
10:43 am
10:44 am
>> hi, everyone. i am gretchen carlsson. how air traffic will change in america due to the ebola outbreak. and where does the spanish nurse think she touched her face with the glove after touching the patient? and authorities may kill her dog after being exposed with her. and a woman with stage four brain cancer is choosing to end
10:45 am
her own life because she wants to die with dignity. could you do the same? we'll discuss in the top of the hour. >> and a couple in hammond, indiana for a traffic stop that turned violent. a woman was pulled over with a seat belt violation and her boyfriend was wearing a seat belt. he refused to get out of the car. look at what happened. >> are you going to open the dor? >> why are you saying he will not hurt you. people are getting shot by the police. >> oh, oh. get on the the ground. that was the voice of the woman lisa mahonand then jones was tazerred right in front of his children. he claimed to be getting his id with when the officer smashed
10:46 am
the glass. >> it was on my body. i tried to explain to the officer the first thing i said to him my kid is in the car and my mom is passing, can you make it quick as possible? >> the hammond said the officer spent several minutes to trying to talk the couple out of the car. the statement reads. fearing they may have a weapon. the first officer broke the passenger side window and the passenger was removed from the vehicle and placed under arrest. and now police officers were acting in the interest of officer safety and with accordance with indiana law. are they in the right or wrong. we have criminal defense attorney dan shore. it looks dramatic from the cell phone. is it justified or over
10:47 am
reaction. >> the video is tough to watch especially the children crying in the back seat. what is the little right of the police officer and proper use of descretion. if he is refusing they can use force to get him out. and story of discretion and a way to defuse the situation and based on the video. it seems disturbing and an overreaction. we don't know what they saw. but that is the question here. what is reasonable and even if they are in the legal rights. >> it was an overreaction or as they claim, trying to get him out of the car. and he was not getting out of the car and listening to the officer and they feared there could have been a weapon. >> i agree there are two separate issues and i don't know if they had problemable cause. and not just the driver who was pulled over for a seat belt violation.
10:48 am
not a dui. but a seat belt violation that is mild. the passenger was asked to leave the car but i am not sure he had problemable cause. but the officers did not exercise discretion and they had been previously involved in four civil right's lawsuits between them. it is a red flag. if they are going to stay on the force need serious training on how to resolve and denews situations and not ramp them up because they can. there are so many good police officers out there that are carrying and calm and know how to defuse the situation and these officers give them a terrible name. people shouldn't have to be feared they will get shot.
10:49 am
>> bofth you are lawyers. what are your rights when they say please greet out of the car. and take your license. i am reaching to get my stuff. what are your rights versus what the officers can compel you to do? >> if the officer tells him to get out of the car, he has to get out. >> by law? >> legally he is required and proper thing to do. they are doing it for the safety of themselves and recollect people. and the police officers are confronted with people who aren't complying with the demands and it is a tough situation about how to respond to that and escalate it and use force. it seemed like it was harsh and unnecessary with the children there. we don't know what the officers saw. the video in itself is disturbing and you have to review all of the facts to determine what made them think
10:50 am
they had to break the window at that point. >> did they sit there all day talking to the guy while he doesn't get out of the car how could he handled it you will not win in a fight. and stay calm and listen to their instructions and listen to what they say. don't fight with the officer at the scene of the insdept. but the officer is the trained professional. not the person who is already nervous seeing the flashing lights behind them. and so it seeing the flashing lights behind them. it is up to the officer to take control of the situation, and if they take it too aggressively, this is what we see is the result. this could have ended in a completely different way if the approach of the officers was less aggressive. >> all right. esther and dan, good advice, esther, for both sides. thank you so much. >> thank you.

more than four years ago the president signed obama care into law. a rude wake-up call for tens of thousands of those. what will be the political fall-out come november? that's up next.

10:55 am
promised that under obama care everyone could keep their doctors and their planned. repeated 37 teams. it's dubbed the lie of the year. he later said that is not true. any plans not in obama care faced cancellation. that unleash aid nasty political backlash forcing him to back down and ask states and insurers to extend those policies for three more years. now, many flatly refused. >> it's going to take away a health care plan that you like. >> yet do i keep my doctor or not? if the answer is i can't get a plan to keep my doctor, i'm
10:56 am
unhappy. >> federal law requires a 60-day notice of any plan changes, so voters will be notified no later than november 1st, just before the election. one of the biggest complaints about obama care, of course, is that people can't keep their own doctors and those forced into it are likely to face higher deductibles and out of pocket expenses as well. once again, shannon, making obama care an election issue. shannon. >> absolutely. you are on every detail of this, so nothing slips by jim engel when it comes to bottom care. thank you. >> you bet. >> that is for sure. did you see it last night? a rare occurrence in the cosmos. early in the morning it had early risers seeing red. coming up, we'll tell you why we won't see this for quite a while.
