jones as much as we already do. today is saturday, october 4th, 2014. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today," with lester holt and erica hill. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to "today" on a saturday morning. i'm lester holt. >> i'm erica hill alongside dylan dreyer and sheinelle jones. good morning. >> welcome. >> that voice means it is official. >> how does the music feel? >> it's official. i'm happy to be here. it is an honor to sit next you to guys. it is. >> wait a half hour. you may feel differently. >> awesome. first 15 seconds. >> we are always good at first impressions. second and third. we will learn more about your journey here later. we want to move to the top story. the ebola emergency. in a moment, we will go live to dallas, texas for the latest on

the high profile case there. we want to begin with the american journalist who tested positive in liberia while working with dr. nancy snyderman and her news team. we will learn more about what he will deal with when he gets home. we get the latest from dr. nancy. >> reporter: all week, we have been following protocols. spraying our shoes with bleach and taking our temperature twice a day. our cameraman, ashoka mukpo, was also taking precautions. mukpo is a 33-year-old photo journalist from rhode island who has been on assignment for the past few weeks working for news organizations. on tuesday, we hired him to work with us. on wednesday evening, he said he wasn't feeling well. a check showed his temperature was elevated. he quickly sought medical treatment. on thursday, a test showed he

was positive for the ebola virus. he reached out to his parents. >> he texted me he said, dad, you need to answer the phone. i think i'm in trouble. i immediately knew. >> reporter: mukpo is under quarantine in the care of doctors without borders. he is in good spirits. he will be taken to the university of nebraska center for treatment. the ebola outbreak has made precautions here a way of life now. officials are vigilant about taking temperatures. at the airport or even between towns. in hotels, guests are encourages to wash their hands in bleach. greetings are done at a distance. no handshakes. no hugs. for health care workers, layers of protective equipment are required. it is a painstaking process. after visiting a local clinic here, we were brought into a

room where carefully our protective suits, masks, gloves and googles are removed piece by piece. they were doused in bleach and incinerated. as far as we have seen, even a small break in the protective efforts can be an opportunity for the virus to spread. >> our chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman. she and her team are okay. questions about the first person diagnosed with ebola did not tell anyone. now we have national correspondent kate snow in dallas. >> good morning. the district attorney is now considering putting criminal charges against the patient himself for not telling anyone he had been exposed to ebola and

potentially exposing his family and maybe others here in dallas. duncan's girlfriend and people quarantined in the apartment are living if a new home this morning, not because of health fears but, previous neighbors were scared to have them around. >> it has been tough because no one wanted them. so someone was kind enough to offer up a private residence that is gated. >> reporter: workers in haz-mat suits spent friday cleaning the apartment. bed sheets and towels and mattresses removed five days after duncan was rushed to the hospital. local officials said this did not happen sooner because of the paper work nightmare dealing with ebola. >> we as a country don't have time to do this by trial and error. we need systems in a box for this that are ready to go. >> reporter: 50 people who came in contact with duncan are monitored by cdc teams. this doctor visits people on the

list. >> the questions normally ask are you having a headache or fever. is anyone under the weather. >> reporter: so far, no one answered yes. at a white house briefing, reassurances that the government can handle ebola. >> the united states has the most capable health care structure and best doctors in the world bar none. the united states is prepared to deal with this crisis. >> reporter: but some experts say what is happening in dallas show weaknesses in the system. >> it has ripped the covers off the assumptions about the readiness to deal with disaster. >> reporter: one of the biggest questions coming up is how did duncan come to the e.r. a week ago and get sent home the first time he came. the hospital yesterday had said there was a flaw in the computer system. that nurses put in the information that duncan had been recently in africa into their system, but nurses only could

see it and not doctors could see that. this morning, the hospital is reversing itself saying there was no flaw. everyone on the medical team could see he had been to africa in recent time. that only raises the question further, erica and lester, whether or how he was able to get sent home after appearing in the e.r. >> kate snow this morning. thanks. dr. foucie is the head of the allergy and infectious disease. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> the message is the u.s. is prepared, but we hear in the report about the failure to diagnose this patient initially and slow response to cleaning up the apartment. even the permits that had to be filled out just to dispose of this stuff. when you hear that, why shouldn't americans worry about preparedness? >> first of all, you have to separate the preparedness and glitches that were obvious to

everyone. the questions americans are concerned about will there be an outbreak here. there will not be. there will not be because of the health system and the contact tracing that you just showed on your piece now is the thing that prevents there being an outbreak. >> that has to be done correctly. are you confident the procedures you laid out are now flowing freely? >> yes, i think you want to separate a clear misstep in communication when the patient first came from the contact tracing that we just saw the cdc person doing. that's the thing that will contain an outbreak while we won't have it here. we may have another patient come through. another ebola patient, but the people in the united states are asking the question, are we going to have an outbreak. what we have seen about the contact tracing prevents that. there is no excuse for the initial misstep. i think physicians in emergency

rooms and clinics will be overly aware when someone comes in with symptoms compatible with ebola, you get travel history and you communicate that to the doctor. that obviously did not happen. >> you have people who were in contact with the people and are in quarantine. at one point, one tried to get out. you are basically counting on people doing the right thing. as this progresses and we see more cases, what power does the government have to enforce to tell someone you have to stay inside for 21 days. someone who has a job and cannot take that time. >> the cdc does have the authority to impose forcible quarantine. when someone is contact traced, there are a couple of ways to effect that. you can get a broad contact at a low risk and have that person report on the daily basis, take their temperature and determine if their symptoms. if the cdc determines that is an

unreliable person or the circumstances would not allow there to be strict adherence to have the capability and authority to quarantine someone. >> i have to say the patient did not check the box he had been in contact with a sick person before leaving africa. it leads to the question, i think the impression is if you have ebola in africa, there is a chance you're gonna die. if you come to the u.s. for treatment, you will live. that says a lot about our health care system, but are you worried about the message it may send causing people to come here who may have been exposed? >> the difference between someone exposed and someone who has the early symptoms. if you and i went to an airport in monrovia, liberia and we were symptomatic with ebola and we wanted to get out of the country to get good care in the united states, we would not be able to leave the country. at the airport, your temperature is taken and you are evaluated for symptoms and questioned

about it. clearly you saw the temperature gun they were pointing at nancy snyderman. that happens to everyone leaving the airport in those countries wanting to get out of the country. >> dr. anthony faucie, thank you. you guys have a tough job ahead of you and we appreciate what you are doing. >> thank you. >> we know you have concerns about ebola. coming up in the next hour, we will answer your questions. send them to us on twitter #orangeroom. the white house is strongly condemning a newly released video from isis that shows the murder of a british aide worker. the tape ends with the group threatening with another american hostage to be its next victim. nbc's chief correspondent richard engel in turkey. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the fbi believes it knows the identity of the militant seen executing the hostages. they have not released his name, but u.s. military officials i've

spoken to say they are absolutely looking for him. isis seems to be reveling in its brutality and promising more to come. alan henning was a british taxi driver driving an ambulance into syria when he was kidnapped and then beheaded in a video experts say is genuine. earlier this week, his wife pleaded for his life. >> please release him. we need him back home. >> reporter: he is the fourth western hostage to be killed by what looks like the same man with the heavy british accent. there were two american journalists. james foley and steven sotloff and another british relief worker, david haynes. in the video, the militant also threatened another american, peter kassig. a former soldier who started an aid group and went to syria to help victims of war. his war ends said he changed his name after converting to islam

in captivity. in a statement, president obama condemned the murders of all of the hostages. standing together with a broad coalition of allies and partners, he said, we will continue to take decisive action to degrade and destroy isil. the british prime minister said his government will seek justice. >> we must do everything we can to hunt down and find the people responsible for this. >> reporter: but the group also known as isis is still killing and still undefeated on the battlefield despite nearly two months of air strikes. in an indication of the long road ahead, general allen, the american general responsible for the military mission in iraq and syria against isis today in baghdad said just to organize the mission against the city of mosul which is controlled by isis, could take about a year. erica. >> richard engel, thank you. we receive encouraging news when it comes to the nation's economy. the latest jobs report shows the

unemployment rate has dropped below 6% for the first time in six years. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker with more. >> reporter: lester, good morning. the numbers exceeded expectations. 248,000 jobs added last month. a clear indication the economy is getting stronger, but it is the timing of the report that is also so significant. it comes as president obama is trying to rebound from low approval ratings and his democrats are fighting to keep the senate. for an administration hit by one problem after the next, good news. the lowest unemployment rate in six years. a fact president obama touted friday at a steel manufacturing plant in indiana. >> we are on pace for the strongest job growth since the 1990s. >> reporter: it's been a rough year for the president. criticized heavily for his foreign policy, the government's response to ebola and with the secret service under siege. republicans fighting to pick up seats in the house and win back the senate in november,

downplayed the news. in a statement house speaker john boehner said every day i hear from people in my district who say no matter how hard they work, they still struggle to make ends meet. but democrats called it a clear victory. still, they acknowledged many americans are focused on other issues right now. >> a lot of people are so concerned about ebola, and then, of course, with isis, they are also concerned. so i think the economy, i think we have sort of taken it for granted that the economy is going to get better. >> reporter: political analysts say the jobs report may not be enough for democrats in tough congressional races. >> democrats can take comfort in the job numbers, but not a huge boost because republicans can repeat back what the president has been saying which is that average voters are not feeling it. >> reporter: but the president may benefit as he hits the home stretch of his presidency if jobs keep coming back. >> his approval rating has stabilized because the public supports his response to isis.

it has ticked up a little bit. this can only help. >> reporter: democrats are encouraging the president to talk about the economy and to keep making the case to voters that democratic policies deserve credit for the rebound. the ongoing weakness in all of this positive news, that high number of long-term unemployed. lester? >> kristen, thank you very much. >> how did that sound? >> awesome. we start with this. one of the nation's most prestigious schools, harvard university is on high alert. harvard students received a disturbing threat prompting authorities to join forces on campus. harvard police are stepping up patrols following a threatening e-mail send friday evening to about 500 people. in the e-mail the author threatened to shoot up the campus this morning. >> it's scary.

we don't know. we don't know what tomorrow will bring. >> those who received the threat say it was poorly written and racially charged. some on campus are not worried. >> i don't have too much concern. i'm sure the harvard university police department will manage it. >> as for the harvard police, along with an increased presence, they say they also contacted the fbi. the university has sent e-mails to the community warning them of the threat. >> i think i appreciate how they handled the situation. they are taking a lot of precautions to make sure students are aware. now hong kong where demonstrations in two shopping districts turned violent overnight. police arrested 19 people in the clashes with pro-democracy demonstrators and opponents. 12 people and six officers were injured. criminal gangs accused of inciting attacks on peaceful demonstrators. the centers for disease

welcome back to "today" on a saturday. nice to have you here. sheinelle jones is the newest member and dylan dreyer and erica hill is here. i want to start with the growing concern in ebola in america. the family has been removed from the apartment they shared with the first patient diagnosed in the u.s. the man could face criminal charges. we have mark potter with more. >> reporter: good morning, lester. the ebola patient is in serious condition, but crews spent the day cleaning the apartment where he stayed and the officials moved out the family he was visiting. five days after ebola victim thomas eric duncan was taken to the hospital, the apartment was decontaminat decontaminated. >> they took bed sheets, towels, any items that the gentleman may have come in contact with. >> reporter: officials say it took days to get started because of the permits required.

the family of four duncan was visiting when he got sick is now out of the apartment and are in a remote house in an undisclosed gated community. >> the city and county has been working to put the family in a safe location. it has been tough because no one wanted them. >> reporter: officials insist the family shows no signs of ebola infection and poses no threat to the public. county judge clay jenkins escorted them to the new home. >> if there was any risk, i would not expose myself or my family to the risk. there is zero risk. >> reporter: city and county officials are trying hard to reassure a nervous public. >> we will be safe. >> reporter: but not everyone is convinced. >> i'm afraid of it. i won't lie to you. >> now everybody's in a panic. you don't know who has it and who doesn't. >> reporter: health officials are monitoring 50 people who may have had contact with duncan and are asking ten of them to stay

in their homes until they are cleared. so far, none has shown any sign of infection. meanwhile, questions still abound about how the hospital firsthand theed the case and the local district attorney is considering to file criminal charges against duncan for not revealing he was exposed to ebola. lester. >> mark potter in dallas. thank you. erica. thank you. we have dr. roshni is here. she is a "today" show contributor. nice to see you here. >> nice to see you. >> we want to clear up the mystery for the folks at home. there are several the reports of people saying i'm cancelling my travel plans to dallas. smart or overreacting? >> let's talk about how the virus is transmitted. it is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids. fecal matter, vomit and blood. going to a sporting event or going to a crowded area, you

will not really be exposing yourself unless you are touching a sick person. i would not say cancel plans. when you talk about the virus, it is when people are actually exhibiting symptoms. these are not subtle. they are very sick. if you see someone obviously sick, stay six feet away. you don't want to be in close contact. the risk is very low. >> there is some risk. as i understand it, the bacteria or virus actually can actually live for a bit. let's say you are taking a plane or train or bus. what are the precautions you should take in case someone left something somewhere. >> it is a great precaution i tell everyone to do. it is cold and flu season. you really want to practice hand hygiene. wash your hands frequently. vigorously or using an alcohol-based sanitizer. you want to avoid touching your face with your hands. think about it. if you have ebola virus on your

hand, unless you have a cut or wound, you will not get infected, but you will if you take that hand and put it in your mouth or rub hand near you near your eye. you want to keep your hands clean. >> bart asked about local schools and how they can get prepared and what the cdc may have in place. >> it's a concern. there were five children apparently exposed to the man who was sick in dallas. those children have been taken out of school. they did attend school after seeing the person but they didn't have any symptoms. they have extra custodial staff, extra nurses. the school will receive special fever scanners, so the nurse can check them for fevers without touching them. >> more of what we saw with dr. nancy. this came in from jason also on

twitter. i know it's not airborne but what about being close to someone who sneezes? >> theoretically, yes. if someone is close and sneezes on you, a few droplets of mucous could get on you and you could get the virus. you want to stay six feet away. >> a woman wrote in, asked about sweat. someone asked about sweat at the gym in the united states. >> so it is a bodily fluid. it is potential there would be virus there. however, when someone has the amount of virus in their sweat that that they could transmit it to somebody else, they're extremely sick, tehey're not going to the gym, they're almost on death's door. so the transmission risk is very low but it is possible. >> thank you.

big tree after hearing a crying sound. mama bear was nowhere to the found. so in came the local fire department. authorities used a chain saw to cut out a window in the tree. within minutes the cubs were freed and are said to be okay. isn't that sweet? >> they are adorable. we'll take babies of any kind. >> that's another thing we love here on the "today" show, baby animals. >> pandas? >> there were pandas, triplets. we'll have more. >> let's get a check of the weather now from dylan. >> good morning, guys. in honor of the yellow coat this morning, let's talk about a banana pudding festival. >> it's the national banana pudding festival, the fifth annual in centerville, tennessee. >> have you been? >> oh yes. >> sounds amazing. >> it's amazing. >> let's take a look at the weather in the northeast.

quarterbacks. winning big at halftime, they were willing to share. the starting quarterback for the bulldogs was told to play for the other side. >> he came up at halftime. i'm here with the coach. he do bad for us, i'll send you back. >> reporter: the coach did not have anything to worry about. matthew played his heart out. the only red jersey on the cougar side. responsible for two touchdowns against his own team. he almost clinched a third when time ran out. >> i guess i did not know what to think. i told them, you know, i was planning on scoring a couple of times. it's a football game. >> reporter: matthew could not pull off a win, but he and his coach taught us all a lesson in sportsmanship. >> it was great. they are a great group of guys. >> reporter: in a place where some can live for what happens beneath friday night lights, this is the game they will be talking about for years. >> i loved it. it was great.
