7:03 am
for the first time on american soil. the cdc is blaming what it calls a "breach in protocol." a health care worker who treated an ebola patient at a texas hospital contracted the disease herself. it is the first transmission in the united states. >> that woman is one of many on the team who cared for thomas eric duncan. the cdc isn't ruling out the possibility that others could be infected, too. we're at the hospital in dallas where the new victim is stable. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. the nurse is in an isolation unit here at texas health presbyterian hospital after developing a fever over the weekend and testing positive for ebola. it's a development made more troubling by the fact that she was equipped with gear that was supposed to prevent transmission of the virus. a hazmat team spent hours decontaminating areas around the nurse's dallas apartment on sunday. she was part of the medical team that treated thomas eric duncan at texas health presbyterian.
7:04 am
hospital officials said she had extensive contact with duncan on multiple occasions. >> this individual was following full cdc precautions, which are barrier and droplet. so, gown, glove, mask and shield. >> reporter: but two days after duncan died, she developed a fever and later tested positive for ebola. the cdc said it was prepared for the possibility of a health care worker becoming infected in the u.s., but officials said the new case has them deeply concerned. >> at some point, there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. >> reporter: protocol for removing the protective gear is critical, because the process can expose health workers to the virus. officials said the nurse had yet to pinpoint when a lapse may have occurred. the cdc said it will now re-evaluate protocols for using protective gear and limit the number of health care workers who have contact with ebola patients. it is also working to determine how many other people will need to be monitored 21 days for
7:05 am
possible exposure. in the nurse's neighborhood, volunteers handed out fliers about ebola, a those within a four-block radius received a reverse 911 call. >> please be advised that a health care worker who lives in your area has tested positive for the ebola virus. precautions are already in place to clean all known potential areas of contact to ensure public health. >> reporter: the call was meant to reassure neighbors they are not believed to be at risk, but the sight of yet another dallas apartment being decontaminated was unsettling. >> it's scary, it's creepy that it's just a few houses down. >> reporter: but officials believe the nurse had close contact with only one person before coming to the hospital. that person has been isolated as a precaution. and a dog that was in the nurse's apartment is being cared for and monitored as well. >> manuel, thanks. chief medical correspondent john
7:06 am
lapuca's in washington. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> why are they so insistent this is a breach in protocol? >> you heard manuel say it's very easy to get infected, even though you think you're following protocol when taking off the gear. it's possible to expose your skin. and this happens especially if you're not specifically trained in how to do this. and of course, dallas, that hospital did not do specific training beforehand. this was a surprise to them. and i think supporting the fact that the protocol probably does work if followed correctly is the fact that there were two places, emory and nebraska, where five people who were infected were treated and none of the health care workers there became infected. they do drill all the time there. >> so, is any of the explanation other than that? >> i don't think you have to invoke that right now, charlie. there's four decades of experience with this virus, and it is known how it is spread. >> so, given that, and there is an inquiry under way and president obama has said that this inquiry should happen as quickly as possible, should ebola patients only be sent to these specialized hospitals? >> norah, i think that is a very
7:07 am
reasonable and good suggestion. i actually e-mailed tom frieden, dr. frieden, the head of the cdc, yesterday morning and asked him that, and i did get an answer back later in the morning saying that the cdc is going to consider that. so, i think that is very reasonable. >> let's talk about the reliability of fever as a symptom, because the "new england journal of medicine" had a study that found 13% of patients with ebola in africa had no fever. based on these findings, what should we know? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, in that "new england journal" article, they define fever as anything greater than 100.5 or 100.4. but if you look at that chart, there's a little asterisk, and it says that the health care workers next to the 87%, the health care workers who were taking the fever, they often didn't have temperature in the districts in west africa. so they would just say to people, do you have fever? so, it could be underestimated. and also, fevers can come and go. but i think it's a very good point that you can't just rely on fever.
7:08 am
there are other symptoms. of course, we know vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache. and so, you have to think about that as an entire constellation. and in fact, i asked the cdc about this. they said, yes, they really should have been saying fever or other symptoms. >> fever or other symptoms. john, thank you so much. even cases that seem like ebola across the u.s. are not taken lightly. a man in boston is in isolation with flu-like symptoms after visiting liberia, but doctors say it's unlikely he has the disease. and there was a scare on the runway at l.a.x. when a woman with a fever vomited on a flight. the fire department says she went to south africa -- not west africa -- so, she was not exposed to the virus. the nation's airports are trying to ground anxiety over ebola with new health screenings. we're at kennedy airport in new york where measures began just this weekend. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. jfk is one of the first five u.s. airports to have enhanced screening for ebola. it starts at the other four airports across the country later on this week. this weekend, passengers
7:09 am
traveling from west africa were subjected to tougher screening by u.s. customs and border patrol. for the first time at jfk, their temperatures were taken with a noncontact thermometer. starting thursday, chicago's o'hare airport, dulles international airport outside of washington, d.c., hartsfield-jackson airport in atlanta, and newark international airport in new jersey will all have the new screening in place. u.s. authorities say those airports manage more than 94% of travelers from liberia, sierra leone and guinea. the west african countries hardest hit by ebola. despite the stepped-up measures, even the centers for disease control acknowledges the new system is not fool-proof. >> we can't get the risk to zero. that will not be the case. but this additional layer should add a measure of security and assurance to the american public. >> reporter: some members of congress believe the best way to reassure the public is by instituting an all out travel ban. a group of democrats and republicans have signed this
7:10 am
letter urging the president to cut off the flow of passengers from west africa until such countries have defeated the epidemic. on "face the nation," house homeland security chairman republican michael mccaul said more needs to be done. >> i think we need to target the individual themselves and look at the idea of potentially temporarily suspending the 13,000 visas that would be coming out of this region. >> reporter: but the head of the cdc is on the record saying he believes an all out travel ban could impede health care workers from making it to the parts of west africa hardest hit by the ebola outbreak. other health experts have said that it could be counterproductive, potentially allowing ebola to spread to other african countries. >> jeff, thanks. another virus putting hundreds of kids in the hospital claimed a second life. 21-month-old madeleine reid died friday in michigan. reid had enterovirus d-68. she was on life support since september. the virus killed a 4-year-old
7:11 am
new jersey boy about three weeks ago. enterovirus is the most dangerous in children under 5. it spread to 46 states and washington, d.c. four days of antipolice protests in st. louis finished today with more mass rallies. hundreds of demonstrators faced riot police last night. protesters are angry about the killing of michael brown two months ago and last week's deadly shooting of another teenager, vonderrick myers. police say myers shot first at an off-duty officer. protests on saturday night led to 17 arrests. no one was arrested last night. this morning in hong kong, a crowd of people opposed to the pro-democracy protests charged barricades, several hundred police. some tried to remove barriers, blocking roads in the financial district. we've been telling you about demonstrators opposed to election restrictions imposed by beijing. they've blocked city streets since last month. isis forces are attacking again this morning in syria and iraq. the terror group bombarded the key town of kobani overnight near the syria/turkey border,
7:12 am
and this morning there are serious concerns about the future of baghdad. isis troops in and around iraq's capital are getting through security checkpoints to carry out deadly attacks. elizabeth palmer is in baghdad where officials insist their forces will hold isis back. >> reporter: good morning. the iraqi army is currently trying to clear and stabilize a buffer zone around baghdad, and in some areas, they're actually succeeding. here's something you don't see very often. territory that isis had and lost. it's the flat, fertile farmland south of baghdad. in late september, iraqi soldiers of the 23rd brigade fighting alongside paramilitaries drove isis out, but they had crucial help. the building behind me was being used by isis as a base and a sniper position until three weeks ago. it was destroyed by an american air strike. some isis fighters, about eight, were killed, but some managed to get away.
7:13 am
the fighters retreated back across the ufrates rivederateie blowing up the bridge so they couldn't follow and now they trade pot shots across the water. while the local army gets under way with the daily grind of keeping isis out. setting fire to brush where snipers like to hide and crucially staying close to the local people who know better than anyone else who's likely to be planting ieds or hiding guns. rod mohammed is the unit intelligence officer. he fought alongside u.s. marines in fallujah in 2007, and he says just like back then, the insurgent fighters are mainly local men angry with the government, but this time, some of their leaders are foreign. >> reporter: where? >> sudan, saudi arabia, you know? >> reporter: you have caught some saudis and some libyans -- >> mm-hmm, we killed in this area, killed, we killed them, yeah. >> reporter: things haven't been
7:14 am
going well overall for the iraqi army, but here the recent victory over isis and competent leadership has boosted morale. >> i think so. >> reporter: carefully, though, he didn't say when. the fact is, norah, that especially to the west of the capital, isis is still in control of key towns and sections of the highway. >> all right, elizabeth, thank you. isis is also threatening to kill american hostage peter kassig. his parents say they cannot meet isis demands. margaret brennan speaks with them ahead on "cbs this morning." a hazing scandal continues to rock a new jersey community. seven high school football players are suspended this morning, several charged with sex crimes. vladimir dutier is in the school. vlad, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. today is the first day back at school for many of the students here since the seven football players were taken into custody over the weekend.
7:15 am
now, the sayreville bombers football team is a state powerhouse, but this morning there are indications that this horrific hazing is not an isolated incident. >> let us pray. >> reporter: at a park across from the school sunday evening, people gathered by the hundreds. a town that had revered their high school football team now rallied around the four alleged victims. >> they have the support of the community that we're here for them, we're here for their families and we're going to begin the healing process together. >> reporter: state assemblyman john wisniewski said those charged are banned from school grounds for at least the next 30 days. >> we can come together, we can support one another, we can find a new way to run a football program. >> reporter: several boys have come forward claiming they were sexually assaulted in the school locker room. matthew stanmeier is covering the story for nj.com. he spoke with a mother of a player who detailed the attacks. >> one would howl and flick off the lights, four would hold down the freshman and two provided
7:16 am
lookout at the doors. >> reporter: the suspects, ages 15 to 17, face aggravated sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, conspiracy and hazing charges. police said the attacks occurred over ten days in september. one of the best football teams in new jersey, the sayreville bombers have won three state championships in the last four years. >> you played a better team and they beat you good. >> reporter: the head coach has not been disciplined or charged and the superintendent has not decided whether to suspend the team play beyond this season, but wisniewski hopes the community can find some answers. >> we need to understand when this started, how many people were involved. we need to make sure they're held accountable, but most importantly, we need to put in the safeguards that are necessary to make sure this kind of thing can't happen, not just in sayreville, but anywhere in new jersey, really anywhere across america. >> reporter: the fate of the coaching staff is still yet to be determined. meanwhile, the school said that they're waiting for permission to begin their own investigation. >> all right, vlad, thank you so much. a broken man. that's what a psychologist hired
7:17 am
by oscar pistorius's defense team is saying this morning about the double amputee olympian. the blade runner is back in court for the first time since he was convicted of killing his girlfriend. witnesses took the stand today at his sentencing hearing in south africa. cbs news legal analyst ricky cla clayman is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> what have we learned? >> what we've learned is that the psychologist for oscar pistorius, who originally was there with him for grief counseling is the first person to testify, and the defense begins here. so, the defense is going to call a total of four witnesses. she's the first. and what she says is this entire episode has made him feel worthless, has made him feel humiliated, and she paints a picture of someone with post-traumatic stress disorder. it may really bring a lot of sympathy to him, because remember, sentencing is different from whether he committed the crime or not. >> will we hear anything -- i mean, what will the prosecution do to try to take down that
quote
7:18 am
argument for him? >> well, as we know that mr. nell, called the pit bull, and he's certainly not lost his touch. he's gone after this witness, hammer and tongs, as one might have expected. but what he's trying to do is belittle oscar pistorius again and belittle the psychologist by saying she had not even read the report. he also wants sympathy for the steenkamp family. >> okay, how much time could pistorius face? >> he is facing zero. that is, nothing, to 15 years. the legal experts throughout south africa are not guessing here. they say it could be the minimum, it could be the maximum. most cases of this type get five to eight years. remember this, he is a first-time offender, he is someone who has physical difficulties. he is someone suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and heightened anxiety. that's all going in his favor. on the other side of that, of course, we have to look at the crime and we have to look at who

how long do you spend at the dinner table with your kids? a new study in the november issue of "pediatrics" finds average family meal lasts 16 minutes. researchers wanted to learn how family dynamics relate to childhood obesity and the surprising findings are here with dr. holly phillips. what did they find? >> good morning, norah. this was interesting. we have known for a long time that having meals together as a family is good for kids health. it wasn't clear whether or not it directly affected their weight. so the researchers looked at 120 kids and their families and actually videotaped them during meal time. they looked at very specific indicators or qualities of the meal. >> so how does conversation have an impact on weight? >> a few things, charlie, were connected with kids weight. kids were more likely to be overnight or obese if the meals were shorter than 20 minutes in particular. if they ate anywhere other than the kitchen or dining area.
8:15 am
if they ate in the bedroom or living room or if fewer family members were present, specially a father or a stepfather. also, in terms of emotions, negative emotional interactions at dinner were more linked with overweight or obesity. kids ate more if the dinner table was hostile and angry. positive interactions, kids would be a normal weight. >> video cameras in our family meals when our children were growing up was terrifying. >> what would they have heard? >> 61% of american dinners, there is a screen on. >> right. >> of some sort. it strikes me that maybe one big change that would be easy would just be to turn it off. >> absolutely. you know, jane, when i saw that, i thought, well, this is going to be the greatest correlation with overweight and obesity. it really wasn't an independent risk factor. what was much more important is how long the meal lasted and for whatever reason, 20 minutes is the magical number.
8:16 am
if you can sit down, be together for 20 minutes, whether or not a screen is on in the background, that's still protective. >> jane, that is such an important question. as someone who has young children, what you are saying, dr. holly, is it is no the a bad thing if we have the tv on and let them watch while we are eating? >> that's why the study is so impactful. it is not necessarily what we eat but the way we eat that is most important. >> spend more time at the dinner table and spend more than 20 minutes at a time. >> yeah. and try and make it positive. really, positive emotional interactions at the dinner table were most protective. >> can't scold them about eating their vegetables. >> it is hard not to. >> dr. holly phillips, thank you. she is reaching for more than the sky. the 13-year-old on a mission to mars. that's next on cbs this morning. morning." >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. started my camry.
