nly from xfinity. good morning. breaking news overnight. ebola in the u.s. a health care worker in dallas who treated the liberian who recently died from the disease has now tested positive for ebola and what would be the first known transmission of the virus in this country. we are live with the developments. face-off. people protest in ferguson, missouri. turns tense over night. police clashing with hundreds of protesters. a number of arrests made. demonstrators say they will be back today. severe weather outbreak, people middle of the country to the southeast bracing for

serious storms, flooding, high winds, possibly tornadoes. hawk attack, the bird of prey gets a drone in its sights and the rest is history. welcome to today on this sun morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm lester holt. we work up to some very disturbing news today. we've been hearing so much about the medical precautions for those who are treating people with ebola and we find out that a health care worker apparently contracted in this country in texas, testing positive in a preliminary test for ebola. >> mark potter is outside the hospital where this person was caring for an ebola patient.

>> the announcement came at 4:21 this morning, central time. 5:21 in the east. officials say a health care worker here at texas health presbyterian hospital has tested positive for ebola in preliminary tests conducted at a state lab in austin. further testing will be done by the cdc in atlanta. the statement said the health care worker had provided care for thomas eric duncan who was treated here and died on wednesday. the health care worker reported a low-grade fever friday night and was isolated and referred for testing according to the statement and the preliminary results were received late last night. this is not only tragic news, it is also significant medically. this is the first person-to-person transmission of ebola in the united states. also according to that statement from the health department, and i quote, health officials have interviewed the patient and are identifying any contacts or potential exposures. people who had contact with the

health care worker after symptoms emerged will be monitored based on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus. now, the name of the worker and his her job description have not yet been released. we are hoping for more information at a news conference to be held here later this hour. thomas eric duncan, the first ebola patient came here to this hospital on september 25th. he was sent home early the next morning, two days later his case worsened. he was brought back to the hospital. he was admitted. it was confirmed he had ebola and he was treated here and again he died on wednesday. since then, 48 people have been monitored and tested for contact with duncan, being tested for ebola. this is the first case now since that time where someone has shown symptoms. erica, back to you. >> all right. mark, thank you. more airports will begin screening this week for people who are coming into the u.s.,

from several west african countries. kristen dawl gren has more on that for us and the efforts around the world to stop the threat of ebola. >> here in the u.s., phase one of the enhanced airport screening is in full effect, meaning almost half the travelers coming from african nations are being screened. the threat of ebola isn't a question of when, but when. in england a frightening scene. medics in full biocontainment suits, assist patients, this time just an actor at a national exercise for tests to be ready for the real thing. at new york's la guardia airport, this was no drill. the coast guard took their temperatures looking for a fever and any sign of sickness. a reassuring step for many concerned travelers coming

through jfk. >> my life. i want to keep living. >> the screening will expand to newark, washington, atlanta and chicago this week and officials admit it is far from fool proof. >> the screening procedure for example would not necessarily have caught the patient in dallas as indicated. >> thomas eric duncan who died in dallas last week may not have shown obvious signs of ebola when he traveled to the country. his body and personal effects have been cream mated to further spread. new supplies have arrive in sierra leone. the united nations is appealing for one billion in aid but has only gotten a quarter of that. in nebraska, one bright spot, the father of the nbc cameraman report the ebola patient is turning a corner.

he cautioned there are a lot of unknowns in treating this. erica. >> lester thank you. chuck todd is moderator of the meeting the press. i know you spoke with national security adviser susan rice. you were talking her with her about the ebola epidemic. asking her whether the international community is doing enough. into listen to her response. >> no, they haven't done enough and we are pushing very hard for everybody to do more. this is going to take all hands on deck because the goal has to be to contain this epidemic in the three countries that we've seen in west africa, to try to prevent its spread and to provide the appropriate care to those that need it. >> obviously, not contained as we had seen, especially in light of the news this morning. what does the white house want to see from the international community? >> well, they need a ton more money at this point. i mean, if you look at it, you have the military community. rhine, you have the u.s. using

the u.s. military to build these makeshift health care facilities in these impacted areas. you see a lot of volunteer doctors coming from the united states to the impacted areas to try to do treatments, i think at this point the rest of the world needs to kick in. there's only so much the united states can do and it's a balancing act. on one hand you have the u.s. military has no choice but to take a lead. there's other conflicts coming. are there too many americans coming into contact with ebola and what's happening in dallas is not going to make it any easier. that's why the united states is separate to -- desperate to get the international community involved. it has become a little bit of a political issue as we have seen in the last couple of weeks. how involved domestically is the administration in the response? >> they are very involved.

it's been interesting. the scientists have been telling the united states, these screenings at the airports here, coming into the united states, aren't nearly as important as the screenings that you have to do when you leave liberia, and there is this sense that some in the scientific community saying don't stretch the resources doing this. you need to concentrate the resources elsewhere, but to keep the public from panicking, i think the white house realizes it had to announce the screening process here in the united states. >> we'll be talking a little bit more on this on "meet the press." chuck, thanks. overnight in ferguson, missouri, new clashes between hundreds of proceed testifiers and police as a weekend of demonstrates organized by groups across the nation continues. protesters are demanding justice over the shooting death of unarmed teen michael brown and others shot by police. ron allen has been following the story for us all night.

>> enough is enough! >> the demonstrators, a diverse mix of races and religions, organized by activists, students and concern students. >> i can't sit at home while black people are getting shot in the streets. >> karlton lee was the first to speak out. >> give them two weeks and they will calm down. here we are going on two months and as you can see nobody is calming down. >> there was also support for the parents of von derek myers an 18-year-old who was killed last week by an off duty officer. the family insisting he was unarmed. while police say evidence at the scene including a weapon and shell casing indicating that myers shot at the officer first. >> people are angry.
