else some of the 50 who were in contact direct contact with duncan. so once again, they're being transported to the hospital. keep it right here on fox for all the breaking details. i'm gretchen carlson. here's harris. >> we will continue our coverage. i'm in for shepard smith. ebola death in dallas. as you heard hours ago, word the disease killed a patient at a hospital in texas of course we are all over the second case that we're following. and the new plan to check travelers arriving at american airports. we'll look at how that is going to work. also, 100 united states marines joining the fight against ebola. we'll look at where they're headed and what they'll be doing when they get there. we begin with breaking news. president obama is set to meet with the top war planners at the pentagon and we understand they will tell him that air strikes alone are not enough to destroy

isis. that's according to fox news contributor major general bob scales. quoting his pentagon sources. he tells us, military leaders plan it to ask the president what is next as the u.s. ages war on islamic state terrorist. the major general will be with me in a moment. u.s. led air strikes continued today against isis forces. focusing on the syrian border city of kobani which terrorists reportedly have surrounded now on all three sides. analyst says if the islamic state takes control of that city, it could be a huge blow to the president's plan to degrade and destroy isis. earlier today, the pentagon spokesman previewed today's presidential visit which will also include briefings on the deadly virus ebola. watch. >> clearly those two very hot topics will be discussed. i won't -- i can't speak for the president and what he will or won't decide as a result of the updates he's getting. we're not expecting change to our strategy as a result of

today's meetings. >> live coverage, greg is near the turkey/syria border and we'll get to him in a moment. start with ed henry, live at the white house. is the white house signaling any change in strategy? a lot has happened since then. >> no change in strategy at all. they are exactly where admiral kirby, white house spokesman josh earnest today, barrage of questions from reporters, whether the strategy is working or not. can you do this with largely air strikes alone and josh earnest suggested again and again that the strategy is working even though isis continues to gain ground including potentially taking this key city of kobani on the border. but interesting because josh earnest in the next breath said they're not sure if the u.s. can push back against isis in kobani, listen. >> you have seen the u.s. military carry out air strikes in this region that have degraded the ability of isil to carry out this function.

is this going to stop isil from overrunning kobani, i don't think anybody know. >> reporter: seems like a contradiction to say the strategy is working but not sure if key cities like kobani will be overrun. the turkish president ear dough again has said he's not sending his own turkish troops in. miffed at the fact that vice president biden suggested the turks have been supporting terrorists, allowing foreign fighters to go back and forth the border. even though there was an apology from the vice president, josh earnest said they would like to see the turks do a lot more. >> back to the way we're fighting isis right now. i understand the critics, at least some are saying it's time for the president to listen to tweaking that strategy. >> the chairman of the house armed services committee put out a blistering statement and flatly said, the air strikes alone are not degrading isis and

he went on to say, while other republicans have talked about leaving the door open for ground troops, mckeonen is willing to say he supports ground troops and wants the president to do the same, saying, quote, the president needs to adopt a broader strategy if we are to protect our interests. he needs to walk out of the pentagon willing to put new options on the table, rather than continuing to rule them out. now the white house continues to say the president has ruled out ground troops. they don't want to go back to having 150,000 troops on the ground in iraq, for example, but what mckeon is saying you don't need that many. you can send a smaller number of u.s. troops not entire divisions. >> all right. ed, thank you very much. let's now get the latest on the ground near the turkey/syria border. greg is live for us there as the battle for kobani is happening not too far away. greg, what's the latest? >> yeah. the battle for kobani seems to be in the crucial stages. we spent the day on the turkey/syria border and

experienced most intense fighting we've seen in the weeks that we have been here. right in front of us, right on the front edge of this city today, there was a huge blast. early reports indicate it was a u.s. air strike. later others claimed it was an isis suicide car bomb. and a big one targeting kurdish fighters. just a sign of the dangerous level of fighting here. and while the kurdish militia had claimed they were pushing isis back, the sound we heard from the center of the city told another story. small machine gunfire all day, along with an eerie quiet on the east side of the town that leads some to speculate isis might be making further inroads there. centcom confirms there were six air strikes against isis targets, all of them outside of the city. again, as that real fight rages inside. according to one kurdish fighter he is grateful the air strikes are coming, wished they had come earlier. turkish are still there alongside our position, while some of them were pointing

towards cobanry in, others were pointed to turkey itself, a sign of how much this country does not want to get involved. and a sign of trouble here ethnic kurds angry with turkey for not gettinged more involved in dealing with isis in kobani, clashed with turkish security in the last 24 hours. 19 killed in the violent protests. harris, there's problems coming from all sides in this story right now. back to you. >> absolutely. greg, you have teed it up for us. thank you very much. i mentioned he would be here, major general bob scales is a fox news military analyst and major general, we're glad to have y along here. >> hi. >> first i want to get your reaction to greg saying that turkey does not want to get involved. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, they don't. i mean, the turks have been literally at war against the kurds both in their own territory and in syria for generations and there's no sympathy on the part of the turks for the plight of the kurds. the kurds in many ways are their

ene enemy. you have to balance isis versus kurds and basically it's a null set to president like president erdogen and they will stand back and watch thousands of kurds be butchered once the city of kobani falls. it's a tragic outcome. >> won't even just be that. what we saw yesterday were the turkish military turning gas canisters on these kurds who weren't even armed. they were protesting. worst than just watching them die. they're putting them physically in the middle. let's move on to the president now, meeting with senior military officials inside the pentagon. this is the first time, you've been helping us do our reporting with your sources, the first time the president as you put it is going to hear an earful, like what? >> the two "d" words, disrupt versus defeat. the joint chiefs are going to tell the president, mr. president, the air strikes so far have disrupted isis and that's been successful. but your stated goal, sir, is to

defeat isis. and so the current course of events of these small air strikes, may disrupt but we will never get to defeat unless we do something different. then back to the president to make the decision is it going to be a continuation of strategy, as usual which will only continue to disrupt or will he go to a higher level and seek to defeat isis. >> what you do with a noisy neighbor having a party next door, try to disrupt it. it's a different pro speps i want to put words on the screen spokenen by former president jimmy carter criticizing president obama, gave a recent interview with the "fort worth star-telegram" and says you have to have somebody on the ground to direct our missiles and be sure you have the right targets. then you have to have somebody to move in and be willing to fight isis after the strikes. somebody, i'm not seeing anybody with their hands in the air. is the president going to learn ground troops are the only option at this point?

>> that's president carter. holy smokes. i don't know anyone, former secretaries of defense, former ambassadors, active duty and retired military, the whole defense intellectual community, i don't know anyone who will stand up and say that this strategy is working because they know it's not, and for president carter to say it's not working, is really extraordinary. look, this is -- you'll never get to defeat, to use the military language, until you put eyes on and some small contingent on the ground to take isis on directly. it's just not going to happen. >> major general bob scales thank you for helping us handle those developments. as soon as the meeting happens we may bring you back. we don't know what's going to be said but we're getting an idea from you. >> thanks. breaking now, word of another possible ebola infection in texas. a patient who claims to have had direct contact with the patient who died this morning is

reportedly showing symptoms of the disease. the details just coming in. we'll take you live to dallas for that. stay close.

breaking news. the pastor of the texas ebola victim's girlfriend is talking to the media and telling the heartbreaking story of how and her children learned of his death.

all right. this is a live picture, obviously, and sometimes satellites freeze up. if that picture starts moving, satellite starts working we'll take you back there. we're good? >> i have spoken with louise. judge jenkins and i went to deliver the news to her this morning, along with the boys, and it was important to us that we be able to do so before the news hit the public. it was a painful and difficult time for her. she reacted as almost anyone would, with great shock and despair. she expressed that in her own personal way with great emotion. everyone receives news like this differently in terms of the way they react to it. she was quite emotional in her expression of sadness, but she soon recovered and was able to

think clearly and begin to help us to prepare a statement for you which i think be you have probably received. >> how are the children? >> the three boys are less visibly emotional, but equally stunned by the news. as you might imagine, because of their being in quarantine and thus their having been determined to have been exposed, their thoughts not only go to the shock and sadness of losing mr. duncan, but also whether this will be the course that their life will take next. we were able, of course, to assure them that because they are being so closely monitored, that at the very first sign of illness, if such a thing were to happen, they would be immediately taken care of and because the timing would be so much quicker, there would be

opportunity for them, for their chances to be improved in terms of getting well. but mostly -- >> all right. we are watching now brand new video as it was coming in from a news conference held by the pastor of the girlfriend of the man who just died who was visiting here from liberia. he had been here a few days, came down with the ebola virus, wept to the hospital. fast forward, he passed away this morning. you heard the pastor there saying some really important facts about that family. and can you imagine how they're feeling now, in isolation, as they are now being watched to see if they'll show any signs of the deadly virus. and now this breaking news nugget as well. officials in frisco, texas, that's about a half hour drive north of dallas, say a second person with ebola-like symptoms claims to have had direct contact with the man i was talking about who passed away, thomas eric duncan. the cdc says there are people on the ground in texas, have no

information on this. they are monitoring all of duncan's significant contacts. of course duncan was the very first person ever diagnosed with ebola in the u.s. again, he died this morning. frisco officials are saying this is not a new confirmed ebola case. and it's not clear whether the person really did have contact with duncan. they say paramedics are transporting that patient. the fire department is set to hold a news conference in a little more than an hour. if it happens sooner we'll bring it live. duncan died this morning at the hospital in dallas. he had been in isolation since late last month. over the weekend doctors said his condition had gotten worse, downgraded him from serious to critical. he traveled from liberia to the u.s. three weeks ago. he went to the hospital on his own, told them details about his travel but the doctors gave him antibiotics and sent him back home. he got worse. a few days later, duncan went back to the hospital, this time in an ambulance.

doctors put him in isolation. health officials are saying that they are monitoring nearly 50 people who had direct contact with him, including ten who are considered higher risk. it's not clear if this case we've been telling you about in frisco is one of those ten people. four people who were living in the apartment with duncan suffered -- where he was suffering for days are in quarantine. officials are saying they will cremate duncan's body. there was question about that earlier before we went live here. casey steagall is live with the news in dallas. a lot to get to now. >> yeah. harris, really, we're getting into this reaction from the family because that is new. that is the headline as we speak to you at this hour. it's so tragic because this man's partner was not even able to visit him at all in the hospital because louise troh as you were saying was immediately put into quarantine with three other of her family members, once the health officials on the ground here in texas knew what was going on and

they knew that we had a case of ebola on our hands. they'd been staying in that cramped, dallas apartment complex n that tiny unit for days with mr. duncan as he started developing the symptoms, a high fever, bleeding from the eyes, vomiting. so they are considered very high risk exposure at this point. louise did release a statement. you heard her pastor talking about their spirits, but she actually released a statement from quarantine. we want to put that up on the screen for you. it reads in part, i hope that you will keep my family in your prayers. this has dramatically changed our lives and we will be grieving for a long time. may eric rest in peace. the cdc says if a person gets ebola and dies, that happens within a six to 16-day window. again, mr. douone duncan got si on september 24th, today would have been day 14. harris? >> okay. a couple things to get here. you know, i'm curious, you're

laying out the timeline for them but what about the other people they're watching? >> well, remember, from all of the doctors that we have had on our air and have been in the newspapers since this all broke here in texas, everyone has pointed out that ebola is not contagious, until a patient starts to show symptoms. so remember, i talked about september 24th. a little difficult to keep straight, but he got sick on september the 24th. that is when he started showing symptoms. that means that is when, by all accounts, he would have become contagious, four days after arriving in texas it. so the world health organization says the maximum incubation period for the disease is 21 days. that means, we are on day 14 right now. so the family has another week to go before they would be completely out of the woods. it has to be terrifying and you heard the pastor talking about that for them, harris.

they've learned the fate of their loved one and now they sit there, behind a locked door, wondering if they could face the same fate one day. >> you know, not to play too much of the devil's advocate here, but this man lied on his travel documents to get into this country, all we can do is hope and pray he's telling the truth about when he really felt sick that very first day, because that's when the clock would start to tick. let's hope he was right about that. that family has a long enough wait as it is. the feds say most travelers who arrive in the united states from west africa will have to get their temperatures taken before they can leave the airport now. details on how the government is going to ramp up security at entry points. the pentagon's plans to send more u.s. marines to west africa still ahead. ♪ ♪ "here i am. rock you like a hurricane." ♪ fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle.

breaking news this hour. we've been telling you about a situation in dallas. we had casey steagall join us. i want to bring him back because we've lost one person to ebola in dallas today and now getting word north of dallas in an area called frisco that they're looking at someone who possibly could have some symptoms of ebola. but that has not been confirmed as a second case. so casey, i requested and i'm glad you came back. a couple questions now. because what you're telling me is, that this person died in this building, that his girlfriend and her three children, three relatives, are now still in quarantine, my question now is, what happens to everybody else in that apartment building? >> well, everyone else in that apartment building is staying in place. i mean, they were never removed, they didn't shut down the apartment complex or anything like that. they were isolated to that one particular unit and as you know, hazmat crews went in there and pulled everything out and decontaminated it.

they scrubbed it down. and then that is the time that those four family members were taken to an undisclosed clolaticl location. they were moved out of the apartment complex altogether and they are staying in this private home that was donated, by the way, and they are said to be in a gated area away from other houses and other apartment buildings, other apartment complexes. but we were just out at that apartment complex yesterday and, you know, you're out there and it's business as usual. people are walking around, you know. it's a rather large complex. lots of tenants and the like. so, you know, you go out there, we were just out there 24 hours ago, and you wouldn't be able to really tell by just standing there and looking at the activity that this had all been going on there. >> the reason i press with that question, and again i mean, we just want the facts, we don't want to drive fear here, i'm looking at the situation where you say hazmat crews, cleaning crews went in, it was days before they went in.

days. and we know that family sat in all of that infected -- the sheets, towels, everything else, we saw from news helicopters above, a man with a sprayer with the vomit that the man who we're told had ebola had vomits on the sidewalk and no doubt, that went, you know, wherever it was going to go with a push broom and everything else. i'm asking the questions, i'm watching social media, i'm wanting to know, just drill it down for me, what's been done there? they had quite a cleanup process to go through and it was many days before they even started it? >> right. and there has been some criticism, especially among those in the liberian community here in dallas, believe it or not, this area is home to upwards of 10,000 liberian nationals who call north texas home and there was some outrage in that particular subset of the community that it took so long to get those family members out of the in effected apartment. but there were a couple snafus. we understand from city

officials that it took a while for them to find a business that was willing to take the job on first and foremost and then once they were able to find a company that would do it, they had to secure necessary permits from the department of transportation to then transport all of that contaminated biohazardous material from the apartment complex to the offsite location where it was incinerated. there was a lag time there and that's why there's so much concern that they sat in this apartment with all of the infected linens and the clothing and personal affeeffects and wh we're hoping they can get through this period and they can skate through this with no symptoms and they did not catch it from thomas duncan, from being in that unit. >> absolutely. and then we have this case in frisco that we're watching. if you learn anything about that, casey, we'll bring you back. thank you for joining us. >> yes. >> and now another breaking story today. the feds are stepping up the airport screening process for

ebola. they say trained medical staff will soon take the temperatures of passengers who fly from west africa to any of the five airports, jfk, newark, washington dulles, hartsfield jackson in atlanta and chicago o'hare. the cdc reports those five airports handle more than 94% of travelers from west africa. also, new today, the feds have ordered customs and border agents at airports and other u.s. entry points to be on the lookout for signs of ebola. officials say agents are handing out fact sheets to travelers detailing what symptoms people should look for and directions to call a doctor if they become ill within three weeks. doug? >> harris, the first of the screenings will begin at jfk airport this saturday. that is where nearly half of the passengers from these three west african nations of liberian, guinea, and sierra leone come from. the other four airports will begin their screening next week. the white house says this is a very small population of people

we're talking about. >> we're talking about 150 passengers that originated or have recently traveled to those three countries entering the united states at those airports every day. >> custom and border patrol agents will observe passengers for illness, ask them a series of questions, remind them to monitor themselves for any symptoms, and then they'll take their temperature with a noncontact thermometer. if anybody has a fever or reveals any other symptoms they'll be evaluated by a cdc quarantine station officer. that officer will again take a temperature reading and any passengers who need further evaluation will be referred to the appropriate public health' authority the cdc says. those passengers who exhibit neither symptoms nor history of known exposure, will receive information for self-monitoring. they will be asked to complete a daily temperature log and provide their contact information while they're in the united states. all of this is in addition to the exit screening that passengers undergo upon leaving their home countries. we expect to learn more about

this at a press conference from the cdc laterhis afternoon. harris, back to you. >> doug reporting live from us from washington watching this, thank you very much. a few hours ago the pentagon announced it's sending 100 marines to west africa in the fight against ebola there. according to the pentagon's press secretary the marines will provide transportation support in liberia's capital city monrovia and will bring the total number of u.s. service members in africa for this to about 450. meanwhile, the cdc is right now training workers who will eventually head to africa to help fight the virus. fox news has now an inside look at how these health care workers are learning to treat patients while keeping themselves safe from infection. john roberts live in alabama, east of birmingham where the training is taking place. john? >> good afternoon to you. the centers for disease control reminds us every opportunity to keep ebola out of the united states is to stop its spread in africa. to that end the cdc this week began a series of training programs that will return as

long as necessary to train what it hopes will be hundreds of people going into the hot zone. many of these people are volunteers from medical charities willing to risk their lives to help contain the epidemic. the sole purpose of this training is to teach doctors and nurses how not to become victims themselves. program director mike young told me they are all committed to helping out. >> believe it or not they're looking forward to going. they're eager to go, take care of patients. they want to serve, want to help. many also very concerned about their safety. >> scared? >> i think it's safe to say some are a little scared and we hope after this course they will be less concerned. >> reporter: a group of the students here that we ran into are from samaritans purse, they had the first case of an american doctor infected with ebola, dr. kent brantley, who recovered at emory university. the people tell me they have a, quote, healthy fear but that's not going to stop them from going. harris? >> all right. john roberts, we'll check back with you as the news warrants. thank you very much. and spanish government official say they have killed

the dog belonging to a nursing assistant who became sick with ebola. this is that woman with her dog. the woman is the first person to contract ebola outside west africa. officials say they could not rule out the possibility her dog could spread the virus. earlier animal rights activists fought with police over the government's decision. it's not clear if the dog had the disease. that woman told spanish media she's feeling better at this point. investigators say they're checking whether she got the disease after touching her face with an infected glove. we told you yesterday she was treating a priest who ultimately died from ebola. health officials say she entered his room twice and she may have touched her face with the glove after her first visit. she's now in isolation. a terrorist army on the verge of taking a key town near the turkish border. we've been telling you this hour about kobani. ahead, we'll take you to the pentagon for the latest intelligence on the fight. s also, the u.s. government secretly spying on twitter

users. now twitter is going to court to try to release details of how often that happens. the feds argue the secret practice helps keep us safe. how much of your freedom are you willing to give up in the name of security? judge andrew napolitano with me here live.

test . . .

some apparent mixed messages coming from the pentagon today about the battle against isis and the syrian town of kobani on the door steps of our nato ally turkey. the turkish president said the town could fall any day now. on fox and "friends" the pentagon press secretary suggested the battle for kobani was not a top priority for the u.s. >> they want to hold ground, hold territory we know that. what we're trying to do in syria and we do believe and everybody is focused on kobani and i understand, but we believe inside syria we have done good work to degrade and destroy some of their capabilities and ability to sustain themselves.

>> just a few hours later during a briefing this afternoon, the press secretary stressed the u.s. has been taking the battle seriously. >> there have been dynamic strikes inside syria. you saw another six overnight just in and around kobani. it's not like we've ignored the crisis around kobani. we have hit smaller tackle targets there. >> a little collision of talking points there. take a look at the wall. kobani is right up against the turkish border. analysts say if isis took over that town the terrorist army would voel a vast stretch of land from the boarder to its self-declared capital city raqqah. canada is joining the fight against the islamic state. today the parliament there gave the okay for up to six months of air strikes, but only in iraq and no ground troops. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. jennifer, what are officials actually saying about whether the air strikes are working? >> well, harris, pentagon

spokesman rear admiral john kirby, he has said repeatedly as you pointed out today, that there are limits as to what air power, even military power alone, can accomplish. the pentagon keeps trying to lower expectations about these u.s. led air strikes. the chairman of the joint chiefs seemed resigned last night in an interview to -- in saying that kurdish town of kobani in northern syria on the border with it turkey would fall to isis. >> it may be about to fall. the isil fighters have been putting pressure on the outki outskirts of the city and into the city itself. >> the pentagon tried to convince the press corps today that six air strikes around kobani in the last 24 hours had made a difference, but could not explain why there have been just a handful of strikes so far and why the chairman was so definitive that kobani looked likely to fallp. isis controls anywhere from a third to a half of the city.

harris? >> jennifer nin addition to you reporting, major scales, one of our contributor, has been helping us with his sources inside the pentagon and he's saying the pentagon will get an earful from the pentagon chiefs today. whip that include anything about approving ground forces? >> the president is here right now meeting with those commanders. i asked admiral john kirby the pentagon press secretary just that. he answered in one word no. meanwhile, a constant drum beat of calls for not taking ground forces or boots on the ground off the table from former u.s. military commanders and two former defense secretaries, including leon panetta. >> you're dealing with a very dangerous and fanatical enemy in syria and frankly it's not going to work just to do air attacks without having -- >> not going to work? >> without having people on the ground who know where the targets are and what's going on. now if we have people that we can trust on the ground that's fine, but if the military thinks

we ought to have special forces, boots on the ground to do what's right, i think the president ought to be open to that kind of recommendation. >> again, the pentagon press secretary saying that there is no plan today to raise that with the president, to talk about boots on the ground, but it's hard to see where this is heading without -- without eventually getting to that point. >> let's hope the enemies aren't watching, right? watching the news, finding out, no ground troops yet again. okay. thank you very muchp. a major court case is kicking off today involving the fbi. the fight against terrorism and your private information. we'll go to the wall now. a federal appeals court will consider whether the fbi has been violating the first amendment by ordering internet companies and other businesses to keep requests for users' information secret. this all comes after a telecommunications company in san francisco sued the agency three years ago. the feds say secrecy is critical when it comes to finding and stock terrorists. let's bring in judge andrew

napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst now. is it that critical some do they have to keep it secret? >> we don't know because they won't tell us about the cases because often they don't even use information obtained from this -- from what they seize in a public prosecution. >> that's what i read. >> these are not requests by the fbi. these documents called national security letters, which is basically one fbi agent authorizing another, to serve an agent written search warrant on a telecom, is a warrant, it's a demand, for the telecom or computer server to provide information. twitter is saying we got so many of these, we want the public to know how many we got. the same statute the patriot act that authorizes the fbi to serve these agent written, not judge written, agent written search warrants, also makes it a crime for the recipient of the search warrant to tell anyone. that's the issue before this

court. may the recipient of the search warrant, this is not ma and pa receiving the search warrant, this is twitter, which receives presumably thousands of these, can the recipient of a search warrant tell the public or anyone they've received it? >> so twitter now is suing the federal government over this? >> yes. >> will they won? >> they've won in the court below so this is the government's appeal of that decision. look, about eight judges have -- federal judges have looked at this. the first amendment says congress shall make no law bridging the freedom of speech. this statute, the patriot act, bridges the freedom of speech. those judges have said this is unconstitutional, we're throwing it out. this is the first time it's going to a federal appeals court. happens to be the ninth circuit in san francisco and that oral argument is as we speak. >> very interesting. >> fascinating stuff. >> it is. >> it's freedom and security and it's the courts and it's the congress, all wrapped in one. >> and i guess our only choice is not to use the social media outlets? you don't want to be looked at don't go there. >> or find out what our government is up to.

>> that's so easy. not. thank you. >> pleasure. >> journalist brave enough to keep working in areas of the islamic state control in syria have to follow a list of rules from isis. details on that next.

the islamic state known for savagely harris, an independen group says a journalist actually escaped from the area and that he reported on facebook that the islamic state group had a meeting with journalists and gave them the set of nonnegotiable rules. first and foremost, they must acknowledge that they are subjects of the self-proclaimed state and swear allegiance to its leader. must operate under the supervision of the media office, all work cleared before publishing and cannot work for

any blacklisted tv channels and have to put their names and photographer names in all published pieces and they will be held accountable for any violation of the rules. now journalists are allowed to have social media accounts, but harris, they have to give up their handles and their ip addresses and one of the rules n change the rules at any time. >> of course they can. seems like isis, they have a media office, they're kind of acting as a state, i guess that's the whole point. tell me this, syria obviously is one of the most dangerous places on the earth right now for journalists. is anybody doing this. >> that's a good point. nothing illustrate yours point of how dangerous it is. more poignantly than the beheading videos . that's according to a representative of the committee to protect journalists. i spoke with him and he said that islamic state groups wants to protect or really wants to prevent the public from seeing the brutality in that area.

listen. >> they have keen interest in keeping those stories not told in the international community so that's why this story is worth telling and that's why a lot of journalists are courageously taking risks to tell it to the rest of the world. >> most western organizations won't send journalists to the area anymore. may won't even accept work from freelancers so as not to encourage them to take the risk. >> thank you very much. nasa is apparently taking a cue from science fiction to boldly go where no human being has gone before. the research that could help astronauts snooze their way to the red planet next. and a choic. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it! baby laughs!

nasa is exploring ways to put astronauts into deep sleep as they travel to space for a potential manned mission to mars. it's sort of like a hypersleep which you may have seen in science fiction movies like "alien." researchers say it may look like this. it could cost a trip to mars because astronauts could get by on less food and water when they're in a deep sleep. under the best case scenario, it would take six months to get there. that's a lot of sleep. trace, as a busy mom, the first 90 days sounds great. >> no more than seven days. we're talking about six months here, and the way they do it is they put a tube up the astronaut's nose and they release this cooling agent and

it lowers the body temperature to between 89 and 93 degrees and they're asleep. they're fed through an iv and the way you wake them up is by stopping the cooling agent or warming up the body. astronaut tom jones says there are many benefits. listen. >> one of the payoffs of trying to have the crew in suspended animation is they might take up less space. and so your spaceship can be smaller. the shield that you protect from radiation would be smaller. again, less weight savings and less to propel the complex or spacecraft to mars. >> on the flip side there could be a lot of negatives, and that's, of course, what nasa has to work out, harris. >> i wonder if it slows down the aging process like in the movies. anyway, it sounds like it's years away. >> tom jones says nasa is

actually 20 to 25 years away from sending people to mars, so they have a little bit of time to work on this whole sleep thing. the there's even talk of letting astronauts sleep in shifts. you're up for a few days and sleep for two weeks. to try to convince an astronaut to spend time in sleep will be a tough sell. >> good to see you. we'll be right back. ♪ who's going to do it? who's going to make it happen? discover a new energy source. turn ocean waves into power. design cars that capture their emissions. build bridges that fix themselves. get more clean water to everyone. who's going to take the leap? who's going to write the code? who's going to do it? engineers. that's who. that's what i want to do. be an engineer. ♪ [ male announcer ] join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring america's future engineers. energy lives here.

on this day in 1871 something started. the great chicago fire. legend has it the culprit was katherine o'leary's cow who knocked over a lantern. other theories include a comet. the flames raged for 250 days. wiped out foursquare miles of the city. the damage estimated in today's dollars, $3 billion. but chicago bounced back and a few years ago the city council cleared mrs. o'leary and her cow for starting the fire that ravaged the windy city.

143 years ago today. let's go to the big wow. the dow up a lot. on the meeting minutes being released from the fed moments ago saying they'll be cautious about raising rates. i'm harris for shep. here's neil. >> that was the good news. here is the bad news. in dallas an ambulance carrying an ebola-exhibiting patient who just arrived into this country, not initially exhibiting the symptoms but later they seemed ebola-like. there's an initial report he somehow came in contact with the fellow who died earlier today from ebola. that does not appear to be the case but it's getting a great deal of juteny because if so it's a
