page where we post original content and videos. we are back here next sunday with the latest buzz. show of american support for ebola stricken west africa. our government making a high-profile visit. samantha power has arrived in guinea. it's part of a three nation swing that will also take her to liberia. hello every one and welcome to "america's news headquarters." >> well, the ambassador's visit coming on the heels of grim numbers on ebola released by the world health organization reporting nearly 10,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths in west

africa. >> hi, arthel. no question ebola has become as much of a political issue as a public health one in the united states. powers is now on her way into the hot zone to highlight the administration's plan of attack in attacking ebola where it started. >> all of us need to make clear what these health workers mean to us and how much we value their service and contribution. we need to encourage more. we need many more than are going right now. we need to find a way when they come home that they are treated like conquering heros. >> the need for u.s. and western health workers is an evolving issue, especially now they face those mandatory quarantines when they return, something that doesn't sit well with one of

america's top docs. >> there are other steps that you can protect american people based on the scientific evidence that does not necessarily have to go so far as to have unintended consequences over disincentivizing health care workers. >> initially the cdc said they had all the answers. those answers have changed. they are supposed to be experts on health. >> clearly governors who no longer trust this administration are taking action on their own tells you what a lack of confidence now exists in this administration. >> and here in the nation's capital, it's a different store isry. washington's airport is one of the five points of people returning from the hot zone. they haven't issued stricter guidelines. >> eric? arthel, now to frightening

new reports about isis. reporting what has until now been almost unthinkable. u.s. claims they have resorted to using chemicalpons unleashing chlorine glass. it would be consider add major escalation in what is already a brutal battle. what does this all mean? former ambassador to the united nations, center fellow at the american enterprise institute joins us now. you saw the horrors of chemical weapons. the world outlawed their use. what does it mean if isis now has chemical weapons and is using them? >> well, the details are still scanty obviously. we want to know more about it. let's be clear, going back 20 years, if not more, al qaeda and

other terrorist groups have focused efforts on getting access to weapons of mass destruction. worst of all nuclear weapons. in the middle east, we've known for a long time that these regimes that don't subscribe to these rules have had active chemical and biological programs. we know that assad had a very active chemical weapons program. so the possibility of isis getting something from captured syrian government arsenals, something they've been able to procure on the black market or maybe from the sites they've captured from iraq where remains of chemical weapons were buried as we saw last week. it's very troubling. it shows the brutality of these

terrorists. >> do we know what they potentially have? the u.n. chemical weapons inspector back just before the war, he didn't know the truth. the u.n. thought there were enough precursors in iraq that saddam had enough to make 500 tons of chemical weapons. as you revealed, it's been discovered and even injured some of our own troops. >> i don't think we know what happened to saddam's chemical weapons. our concern for these chemical weapons stemmed from saddam's own declarations of his assets after the first gulf war in 1991. it wasn't a question of whether he had an active chemical weapons program, he had declared these stocks himself. we said, show us your destruction facilities, show us the records that you've

destroyed them. one of the most famous lines, he said, this stuff isn't marmalade. if you have it, you're not going to dispose of it. i think the broader point going forward as well is the threat of the use over chemical, biological or nuclear weapons by terrorist groups. we know that the russians had an active biological weapons effort dealing specifically with ebola up until a few years ago and may still for all we know. i think it's a big mistake to not focus on the potential threat. >> there's no evidence of course that the current ebola crisis stems from any program however, having said that, what does the world do if isis does have chemical weapons and is using

them? the president already had the red line against assad and that disappeared. that's been an on going process. >> i have little or no faith that the administration will do anything different with respect to isis than what its doing now whether they have chemical weapons or not. for those who want a more policy more directed to protecting american interest, i think it's one more argument why isis needs to be destroyed before it consolidates its authority in this stretch of territory that it now has estimated to be equal to the size of great britain. this is a real present threat. isis is very sophisticated in its social media communications. that's how you get so-called lone wolfes to act on their own. they are linked into a network

via the internet. so i think the threat is real. i think understating it or hoping it will go away until after november the 4th, i think it's a big mistake. >> chemical weapons and radical islamic terrorists, not a positive combination by any means. joining us this morning from boston. thank you so much as always. >> thank you, eric. meanwhile, iraqi security forces scoring a rare victory in the battle against isis retaking a sunni town just south of baghdad ending a three-month reign or terror at the hands of the islamic state. the battle is said to have left dozens of terrorists dead or wounded. also continuing to pound isis targets from the air launching new strikes in northern iraq and around the key syrian border

down. >> there's been a changing of the guard in afghanistan. today, they lowered the union jack for the very last time. that served at the center of british operations in that country since 2006. another facility used by u.s. marines also now under afghan control. we have the details live. hello. >> reporter: the u.s. and nato military operation in afghanistan has been winding down for the past year or so. it officially came to a close for the united kingdom today. they handed other two large sprawling bases to the afghan army. the flag lowering ceremony was held to mark the official handover earlier today. it is both camps that held more than 40,000 american and british troops, it now is in the hands of the afghans. a few british troops will stay

to run a westpoint-like military academy. they won't be in combat roles. combat operations for nato, but specifically for the united states are basically over. all in all, more than 2,200 american troops were killed since 2001. and more than 400 british soldiers were also killed. the uk minister of defense said that the coalition is leaving afghanistan more prosperous. all of that is true, but it is still a violent country and a bloody country. but u.s. and international officials have optimism there. they think the new president who took power just about a month or so ago, he will be a big change from president karzai. american officials think he will make a lot of the needed changes

to reduce kupcorruption. they think he's the guy that will set afghanistan to that next better direction. >> thank you so much. we'll see how that goes. also overseas, war weary ukrainians heading to the poles today. the vote is likely to install supporters of the pro-western president and end the separatist conflict in the east. a pleasing prospect to at least one voter. >> translator: like everyone else, i hope that the war will be over and that some good changes will happen, that people get what they want, the path to europe. >> the installation of a pro-western parliament could fuel tensions with russia. ck here at home, there is more on that horrible high school shooting that happened in washington state on friday. members of the student gunman's

native american reservation searches for answers. jaylen fryberg shot five people killing one and injuring several others before he took his own life. he was very popular. they want to know exactly what may have set him off. they are doing their best to care for the victims. >> the families are at the bedside. we had about ten operations going on. we had about 70 people in the emergency department. we were delivering babies when we were suddenly called upon to take care of these four young people who came our way. >> still trying to determine if he shot himself by accident or if it was part of a struggle with a teacher or some type of suicide. police say fryberg was upset over a girl. brand new details about that

tragic shooting in sacramento. federal authorities now saying the main suspect in the shooting, seen here after being ken out on a stretcher, had not only been convicted of drug charges, but had also been deported twice. cops say he went on a six-hour shooting rampage friday killing two police officers and injuring other people. sheriff ed bonner called the loss a personal one. >> to hear a report that this potential suspect, run the other way, most people would, these guys run to it and pay the ultimate sacrifice. >> the suspect is in custody. he's expected to make his first court appearance on tuesday. >> well, the apparent lone wolf terrorist attacks. how do we stop them, will they be more, what do we do about

radicalized people striking us here at home? also a new york city doctor fights for his life against ebola. new quarantine rules have some health care workers up in arms. it's monday, a brand new start. with centurylink visionary cloud infrastructure, and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable, secure, and agile. new nestlé© toll houser for delightfulls morsels. in honor of our 75th anniversary,

(receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money?

time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. these viruss, they're difficult. what we've been working on since twabt 2004, it was just recently we had the insights to take this new approach. we think we can have about 250,000 doses available by about june of 2015. >> okay. well, that was the ceo of johnson & johnson on the challenges still ahead on the quest to create a vaccine for ebola. doctors are going to great lengths to save a new york physician. they gave him a blood transfusion as he enters what the hospital is calling the next

phase of his battle with ebola. three states instituting new policies putting anyone who's had contact with patients in west africa under mandatory quarantine regardless if they have symptoms are not. brian, give us the latest on this transfusion and what more can you tell us about the doctor's condition. >> reporter: sure. we'll get to his condition in a minute. first, to that policy instituted in new york, new jersey and illinois. the nurse says she's been mistreated speaking out for the first time in the dallas morning news. she arrived at the airport on friday from sierra leon. she's been put under a 21-day quarantine despite taking negative for ebola. she claims she's been treated

like a criminal, put in a hospital tank saying, quote, i am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare they've been fighting ebola in west africa. will they will made to feel like criminals and prisoners? this morning on fox news sunday, new jersey governor chris christie defended the policy saying it's necessary to protect the people of his state calling them not strict enough. >> i don't believe when you're dealing with something as serious as this, that we can count on a voluntary system. this is government's job, it's to protect the safety and health of our citizens. so we've taken this action and i absolutely have no second thoughts about it. >> reporter: as for dr. spencer's condition, he's here

at bellevue hospital. his condition has worsened, but that's expected. he's been given anti-viral medicatio medications. his fiance has been released to her home under quarantine. >> thanks very much. arthel, the so-called lone wolves, radical islamic terrorists, two attacks just this past week. how do we stop them? can we find the clues to nail these guys, like this one who called for a revolution. a former cia official weighs in next. i'm over the hill.

my body doesn't work the way it used to. past my prime? i'm a victim of a slowing metabolism? i don't think so. great grains protein blend. protein from natural ingredients like seeds and nuts. it helps support a healthy metabolism. great grains protein blend. feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers

have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz.

even without methotrexate. i'm just looking over the company bills.up? is that what we pay for internet? yup. dsl is about 90 bucks a month. that's funny, for that price with comcast business, i think you get like 50 megabits. wow that's fast. personally, i prefer a slow internet. there is something about the sweet meditative glow of a loading website. don't listen to the naysayer. switch to comcast business today and get 50 megabits per second for $89.95. comcast business. built for business. radical islamic terrorism sparking fears of so-called lone wolf attacks. now being called an act of home

grown terror. in canada, the prime minister classifying the deadly attack in the nation's capital as an act of terror. how can we stop these home grown terrorists? joining me now, mike, good to see you. would you talk about this. how complicated is it to track? >> well, it's extremely complicated and it's very, very serious. the -- the driving force behind this right now is the islamic state, but al qaeda has been calling on individuals in the west to take action for over a decade. and so this is building on something that's been going on for quite some time. but the islamic state is having apparently a great deal of success recently in drawing people to this cause in part

because of their intangible success that they've had in creating in their public relations, so that's a very powerful draw. there's a danger here when we talk about the lone wolf. we worry about that designation because the concern is that it distracts and minimizes that this is really a concerted effort to call on those out in the west to carry out these attacks. sometimes by saying it's a lone wolf attacks, people think it's just a lunatic that latched onto something and it's not related. >> is there strategy to attack any noun u.s.a. or is it the bigger the city, the bigger the attack? >> any attack is a win. for a quite some time as they

were ram paging through syria and iraq were calling on people in the west to come join them, travel there. that has morphed into, if you can't get here, you should be doing something. so now, the message is, not just come out here, if you can't do that, what exactly are you doing? you better support the cause. they're saying anywhere, canada, the u.s., england, anyplace, conduct an operation, no matter how smau and that's a contradictory. >> how important is family involvement to track the behavior and social patterns of relatives. quickly for me. >> you're absolutely right. there are many levels we have to do to fight this effort to try to succeed in combatting the lone wolf concept.

families, see something, say something. the community and pointing out when people start behaving in a radical fashion. >> we will be back with the doctors on "sunday housecall." , i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

i'm arthel neville. time now for "sunday housecall." >> joining us as always, dr. marc siegel. >> and dr. david samadi, chairman and professor of urology and chief of robotic surgery. >> good to see you. >> we're going to start with something that's a ground breaking advancement in the fight against cancer. they have engineered stem cells that are
