7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with the first confirmed diagnosis of ebola in the united states. the centers for disease control say a man in dallas tested positive for the deadly virus. efforts are under way this morning to track down anyone who had close contact with him. >> and in a moment, we're going to talk to the head of the cdc about containing this virus. but first, manuel bojorquez is at the hospital in dallas, and that's where the victim and some first responders are now in isolation. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. that patient is, indeed, being treated in isolation, here at texas health presbyterian hospital. state health officials also say they're monitoring what they describe as a handful of people who had close personal contact with that individual. as the cdc tries to ease the fears of the american public. >> our staff is trained and
7:04 am
prepared to take care of patients with a variety of infectious diseases. including ebola virus disease. >> reporter: the cdc says the patient left liberia on september 19th, arrived in dallas on september 20th. officials say he initially came to the hospital seeking care but was sent home. it wasn't until his second visit two days later by ambulance that hospital staff learned the patience recently arrived in the u.s. from west africa. >> that's when the information became more clear. but even then, it wasn't completely clear and it's still evolving. >> reporter: the unidentified man who flew to the u.s. to visit relatives is the first traveler to bring the virus stateside. the passengers who shared his flight are not at risk of contracting ebola. >> it is not contagious before you develop symptoms. that's not true of other
7:05 am
diseases. for example, influenza virus is transmissible before you even get sick. that's certainly true of many other diseases but not this particular disease. >> reporter: the cdc has dispatched a team here to texas to trace any other contacts the patient may have had. this morning, the city of dallas announced three merge workers who transported the patient have tested negative for ebola but officials will monitor their symptoms. the ambulance used has been quarantined as a precaution. >> thank you. the cdc's director, dr. tom freeden, briefed president obama by phone yesterday. this morning, he is with us from atlanta. good morning. >> good morning. >> how will you find out whether this person transferred this to someone else and how will you find out who those people are? >> the bottom line is we're stopping this in its track, in the u.s. and i'm confident we can do that
7:06 am
because of our strong health care infection control and our strong public health system. what we do in public health day in and day out to protect americans is something called contact tracing. we identify everyone who could have been in touch with the person when they were infectious. we monitored each of those people for 21 days. if they developed a fever or other symptoms, they get isolated. we stop the chain of transmission from continue. that's the tried and true public health measure that will contain this case from spreading widely. >> does that include people who might have been on the plane? >> that's a natural question and it's one we get more than anything else. let's just step back for a minute and understand what the reality is here. the bottom line is, this man was not infectious when he got on the plane. we've checked 100% of the people leaving liberia for fever. he didn't have fever. anyone with fever is not allowed to board the plane. he didn't develop his first symptom until four days after he
7:07 am
arrived in this country. the incubation period can be as much as 21 days. for those four days and the days he was on the plane, he could not have infected anyone. >> but, he did have symptoms for at least four days before he was isolated. how many people did he come in contact with? >> that's exactly what we're in dallas to find out. we know so far that he had several people in his household. they'll certainly be monitored to see if they develop fever. there may have been several other people in the community. and we'll go through every minute of each day with his family to understand who might have been exposed and every health care interaction he had to see if there are health workers who might have been exposed. >> when americans hear this, that ebola has reached america, they're scared and worried. what can you tell them and convince people this will not spread? >> we know how to stop ebola. we will do it here. the challenge we have is not so much this case, although it's going to take a lot work and a few weeks of really intensive
7:08 am
monitoring and there could be another case or two arriving from the people who had contact with him in those four days, particularly family members or others who had close exposures. really, the bigger pressure is, this is a reflection of an epidemic in west africa. we have surged to respond to that epidemic. but stopping it at the source is the single most effective way to protect americans. >> doctor, thank you so much. >> thank you. this morning, the secret service confirms another security breach around president obama. the president was visiting cdc headquarters two weeks ago and a security guard who had multiple felony conviction, shared an elevator with the president and his bodyguards. agents confronted the man when he wouldn't stop taking pictures. they found out later that the guard was carrying a gun. >> secret service director julia pierson did not mention the incident when she testified on capitol hill yesterday. bill plante is at the white house with the hearing that
7:09 am
focused on two other security breaches. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. director pierson did face a bipartisan barrage of criticism from members of the house oversight committee. let me show you why from our broadcast position here. they wanted to know why omar gonzalez was able to make it from that fence, down on pennsylvania avenue, all the way across the north lawn, sprinting, until he got to the north portico, and the front door of the white house, behind those columns. the director did acknowledge in the classic washington formulation that mistakes were made. >> we all are outraged within the secret service. >> reporter: director pierson answered questions for more than three hours tuesday. confirming omar gonzalez was able to get more than 100 feet into the white house. but offering little explanation for the agency's original statement, which suggested he'd been stopped just inside the front door. >> i agree that mistakes were made and the proper protocols
7:10 am
were not followed. >> reporter: she pointed to security upgrades at the white house, including a new automatic emergency lock on the the door. she defensed the agency's choice to conduct an internal investigation. but committee members were far from satisfied. >> an internal investigation by the secret service is not sufficient. >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> i believe that you have done a disservice to the president of the united states. >> reporter: utah congressman argued that responding agents should have used force. >> don't let somebody get close to his family. don't let them get into the white house. if they have to take action that's lethal, i will have their back. >> reporter: pierson also revealed two secret service officers saw gonzalez outside the white house the day he jumped the fence. they didn't stop him because he had violated no laws. the secret service won't say
7:11 am
whether anyone has been punished as part of the investigation into the fence jumping. but oversight committee chairman darrell issa confirmed the agency had taken action. >> there's at least one person who will not be standing post any time in the near future. >> reporter: omar gonzalez was indicted in federal court tuesday on three counts would could put him away for up to 16 years. the white house says the president still has full confidence in the secret service and in director pierson. and she has not offered to resign. >> bill, thanks. british warplanes report their first action in the air war against isis, royal air force jets fired missiles overnight at two isis vehicles near baghdad. the attack followed another british air strike in iraq on tuesday. officials say that mission supporting iraqi forces was successful. >> president obama discussed strategy against isis with his top national security officials tuesday. that team includes director of national intelligence james clapper. remember on "60 minutes" sunday,
7:12 am
the president said clapper admitted the intelligence community underestimated isis. critics now accuse the president of dodging responsibility. he served as deputy director until retiring last year. michael, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's get specific. did the intelligence community underestimate the threat of isis? >> so there is what we call strategic warning and what we call tactical warning. norah. strategic warning is, it is going to be a really bad winter. tactical warning is, it is going to snow two feet next week. what happened in this case is there was strategic warning. the intelligence community said isis is getting stronger for a variety of reasons. and the intelligence community said the iraqi military is getting weaker. what we didn't do -- >> that warning has been going on for more than a year, right?
7:13 am
>> correct. but what the intelligence community didn't do, norah, was say, next week, or the week after next, isil is going to make a major move in iraq and what we didn't do is say the iraqi military is going to fall apart. >> did the intelligence community need to do that? because in february, excuse me in january, fallujah fell. >> so strategic warning is something that we are very, very good at. tactical warning is very difficult because it involves getting inside of the decisionmaking process of the adversary and that's very, very tough. >> number one, there's a report in "the new york times" saying the white house was just so busy at the time it did not appreciate the warning it was getting. >> so that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, charlie. there are a lot of individuals across the national security committee who see the intelligence. it's not the president's responsibility to react to the
7:14 am
intelligence he's seeing. it's the responsibility of senior officials across the national security committee. they should have reacted i think and they should have got together and said, okay, what do we do about the strategic warning. >> the other thing is the intelligence committee has said it's upset about this, what the president said on "60 minutes" and is pushing back. >> so i think two things, one is, i think at lower level also of the intelligence community, people who haven't experienced this before, are probably feeling this for the first time and reacting. but i think at senior level, people are not upset. there's a saying, charlie, in the intelligence community, that there are no such things as policy failures, only intelligence failures. every president i served with did this. i think every future president is going to do this. i don't think at senior levels people in the intelligence community are upset. >> mike, thank you so much. >> you're welcome, charlie. the president's "60 minutes" comments also drawing heat from the republican governor. chris christie sat down with
7:15 am
gayle and talked about this and other things. >> president obama has certainly sketched his fa ereceived his f of heat for saying the intelligence community underestimated the threat from isis. what got to christie wasn't what the president said, it was how he said it. >> he used the word they. they underestimated it. don't say they. we underestimated. the administration, he, underestimated. you need to be accountable for those things. you're not always directly responsible but you need when you're the leader to be held accountable. >> some people would say you used the word they when the whole bridge gate scandal happen happened. you've recently been cleared. the justice said there is no evidence you knew anything about bridge gate, which you said all along. >> yep. >> some people would say you used the word they during that time. >> i stood up the day after it all came public and said, i am accountable. why i didn't know it happened, it happened on my watch and i'm
7:16 am
accountable. i stood up for an hour and 50 minutes. >> i remember. >> and took questions. >> i remember. >> and never once have i skirted from my accountability. and that's all i'm talking about. >> well, there's certainly more to come from ou interview with chris christie. find out why some are saying the new jersey governor is showing a softer side these days. >> and hi, and a thinner side. >> gayle, thank you. in boston this morning, new fears about enterovirus. doctors are treating four children with muscle weakness or paralysis. the kids are sick with a respiratory virus. none have tested positive for retrovirus d-68. in denver, ten children are being treated. four of them are infected with the virus. the cdc says enterovirus has sickened more than 450 people in 41 states. >> droves of protesters in hong kong are joining the fight against the chinese government. here's the scene this morning. thousands of peaceful
7:17 am
demonstrators aren't backing down. dense spite rainy weather. they continue to clog roads in the financial hub. seth doane is in hong kong where the crowds want the government to stop interfering with the election three years away. >> reporter: protesters here continue to jam the streets. we're standing in the middle of one of the main thoroughfares that cuts through the heart of hong kong. today, in china, is the national day holiday. which means many people are not at work. instead, they're on the street. to mark the founding of the communist people's republic of china, flags were raised in a ceremony in hong kong today. but the reaction to a helicopter pulling china's flag was hardly patriotic. and hong kong's chief executive, who would not meet with protesters, was heckled during his speech. this newly released video taken
7:18 am
over the weekend shows the heavy handed police crackdown. one protester is back to police, grabbed by an officer and sprayed with pepper spray. the signature tool of this umbrella revolution was put to use again overnight. this time, not protecting from police but from mother nature. when the rain cleared, the view from a drone overhead showed the crowd united. american michael davis has been a law professor in hong kong for nearly 30 years. we're talking about one election, 2017, years away. >> right, right. >> how important is this really? >> it is really important, because what they're witnessing over the past few years is a kind of dysfunctional government that seems to represent beijing more than hong kong. >> of course, the question is how long can these protesters stay on the streets. we've spoken with a number of academics and think tanks in
7:19 am
beijing. they told us they believe it is unlikely that this central communist government would heed to the demands of the protesters. they also say they believe china's president chi jing ping is in a bit of a predicament. if he allows them to continue, it could make the party appear weak. if they use force, they have to suffer any consequences. it could be that both sides are waiting for the other to make a mistake. charlie. norah. >> interesting. what a dilemma. >> unbelievable. phrased it exactly right. finding the right balance. >> a real problem for the chinese government. it's 7:19. ahead on cbs this morning, swimmer michael phelps is the heat wave begins today offshore winds blowing now. that is going to bring sunshine and warm weather all the to the

problem. jan crawford is at a high school in washington with a new warning. good morning. >> good morning. doctors are starting to sound the alarm bells on what they see is a disturbing trend, unjustified fear of concussions, in part because of the hype in the media. causing a sharp decline for kids participating in sports. and that, they say, is much more harmful to kids long term than a concussion. as this practice field in maryland is still looks like lots of boys are playing america's favorite sport. >> stay here. backs and quarterbacks with coach. >> reporter: a few years ago he had a waiting list of players hoping to join his program. now he's barely filling some of his rosters. >> our numbers are down. some of our competitors are dwindling. the league is reduced from seven teams down to five teams. >> just in the last few years? >> yes. literally in the last four.

soccer but my mother and father are worried that i'm going to get a concussion so, therefore, i'm not going to choose to play soccer, that's a tragedy. >> a tragedy. >> yeah. >> why? >> there's no medical evident to support that decision making. >> reporter: dr. mark defasi,is at the children's medical center. he and other doctors are emphasizing there's no definitive evidence that a concussion causes long-term damage. and there's no scientific evidence supporting some current recommendations for treating con suggestions such as extended periods of rest, often for weeks. well, doctors recommend immediately removing kids from play if they sustained a concussion, studies indicate long periods of rest which are increasingly recommended can actually mimic and prolong concussion symptoms. you're saying that message is not necessarily based on anything. >> right. and it's potentially
8:15 am
counterproductive. it's not just that we don't have a data to support, it's that there is data that suggests that it may be counterproductive or potentially harmful. >> harmful because it's proven that kids need exercise. not only to head off obesity and heart disease but for brain development and learning. >> what has happened now is that it's gone so far that parents are afraid to have their children participate in these sports. >> reporter: that's a fear teresa and thomas irving know well. their 16-year-old daughter maddie was diagnose with a concussion after a game. >> at first the doctor said two weeks off. nothing. no tv, no cellphone, no stimulation, just rest, rest, rest. >> reporter: but two weeks of forced rest became a year and her symptoms persisted. >> a lot of it was like feeling empty and i was dizzy a lot.

the new cbs drama "stalker" premieres tonight. the series follows a special lapd detective unit that investigates talking incidents and threats. it stars maggie q. she plays the head of the stalking unit. this time she's the lieutenant beth davis. >> the red dress you wore last tuesday was hot. like your haircut. it really get ms. e going. >> how could laurie not call the cops after reading something like that? >> she's a strong professional. being a victim is a sign of weakness. it's very human to dismiss a stalker or worse accept that it's a part of your daily life. mag gi q is as the table. when i said she's coming where's the rest of her last name?
8:44 am
>> what does it stand for? >> my father's irish. it's quigley. nobody could pronounce it. it was simple. they couldn't say it so they shortened it to maggie q. your mom's what? >> my mother is vietnamese and my father is irish/polish. >> maggie q. we'll go with that. i watched it in preparation for tonight. i have to tell you if your mission was to scare the bejesus out of me, mission accomplished. that was so trouble and so scary , i'm worried. what are you feeling? >> it's a troubling topic. i was so disturbed by how many people suffer with this. the show's not even out yet. when i was announcing the show, the amount of women that come up to me already and it's not even out to say, hey, maggie, this happens to me, i want to tell you about my story. >> most people think it's a celebrity being stalked.
8:45 am
did you say it's 90%? >> celebrities and plus. celebrities are harder to stalk if you think about it. it's not an easy thing because they're more protected and obviously when their stories come out in the public, you know more about them and there's more focus burke when you're an average everyday person and you go to the grocery store and some man's bothering you, you go to o the police, there's a reason why there's a special unit behind it. >> what's behind it, people who stalk? >> the reason i took it is the tie between these people committing the crimes and mental illness. and this is an issue that's now very topical at the moment in the media. it's prevalent and a problem because we're not addressing it the way wi should. every detective, every one of them, there are eight, have a degree in mental illness or background. so it's a different way of preventing crime. it's not the same as -- >> tell us about the character you play, lieu ten nanlt beth
8:46 am
davis. >> yeah. she's great. i like her. i'm getting older in that i can't sort of play these strong women roles where it has to do with physically, you know, intimidating. i now have moved into a space where the space i portray is very internal. she's lived quite a life. we figure out the story the first part. >> it must be tough going to work with dill p mcdermott. >> yeah. sometimes i think -- >> is he just as dreamy in person? >> he's dreamy. not just talented but the kindest subtsequen kindest gentlest co-star someone can have. >> did you say you've been stalked? >> i have. it's debilitating. terrorizing. any time something's out in the open it's okay.
8:47 am
spotlight is not good for predators. it really isn't. i love your face. you're very buceautiful, maggie. you're vietnamese and irish and a little bit of polish growing up. what did you think -- you live in hawaii now too. >> i was born and raised in hawaii. i live here but i'm filming in l.a. so i'm sort of back and forth. you know, i was very urally diverse. i never understood what it meant to with everything else. i thought everybody was everything. it wasn't till i moved overseas that i felt prejudice for the first time. i didn't know what it was. i couldn't label it because i had never experienced it before. >> who is prejudice against you. >> it was very odd. i lived in japan and i remember there was a group of girls and i'd see them all the time, white girls, and they wouldn't speak
8:48 am
to me. they would look past me. one day i confronted them and said what is it with you? what's your problem. they said, well, aren't you mexican? and i said even if i was, is that an issue? i'm not sure that that's an issue. so i wasn't blond and i didn't have blue eyes and i was living in an area where everybody looked like that and they kind of excluded me and i thought that was so odd. >> good for you, maggie q. >> i'm a confronter. >> you have a strong personality. we can tell. >> you put that in beth davis? >> exactly. it comes out on the screen. thank you. >> thank you, guys. >> "stalker" premieres tonight at 9:00, 10:00 central. coming up next, in broadcasting, i offer you exhibit a. you are -- charlie rose. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. ,,,,
