7:07 am
to the disease. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with mounting pressure on the white house. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. the president himself addressed the issue last night and he had to because as you said, pressure is mounting quickly from lawmakers. in fact, these are the statements we've gotten from members of congress just in the past 24 hours pushing for travel restrictions. most of them come from republicans, but at least half a dozen democrats want restrictions too. president obama told reporters thursday he's not philosophically opposed to a travel ban, but -- >> it is currently the judgment of all those who have been involved that a flat out travel ban is not the best way to go. >> that's the same position the cdc director took in a hearing on capitol hill. >> if passengers are not allowed to come directly, there is a high likelihood they'll find another way to get here and
7:08 am

7:10 am
somebody like tom frieden, head of the cdc, to do all of those jobs so it makes sense. >> there's a real question if she was sick when she was on the plane and when she was in ohio. the bridal store she visited is now closed. there are six schools in ohio and texas that are now closed. is this prudent or unnecessary panic? >> i think there's a little bit too much going toward the panic side. there goes from suddenly being not sick to being sick. inusually the temperature was 105. then they dropped it to 104, the cdc. early on there was, what's the fever? if you're a little bit feverish, 99.5, you may be on your way to getting the symptoms. >> can i stop you right there,
7:11 am
dr. lapook? i keep hearing shifting answers with regard to when you're symptomatic and when you're sick. what's the answer? >> we certainly concentrated on this. very early on when you're starting to get a little sick, the viral tider is extremely low. i think you're pointing out a great question everybody's asking. in this continuum, when do you flip over? and i think it's hard to imagine that exact moment. >> dr. jon lapook i want to review the image we saw yesterday of the clipboard guy as hazmat were transported the nurse. that one man looks like he has no protective gear on. he looks like he's carrying a clipboard. what have you learned about this individual? >> right.
7:12 am
i jumped to the wrong conclusion yesterday about that because i had that same concern that there was this moment when the clipboard guy seemed to be in direct contact with a man wearing the protective suit. it turns out the protocol was followed and' i'll tell you why. i spoke to the clipboard doctor. he's the eyes and ears to make everything is done right. my concern was he was getting so close. he was getting clorox wipes but the man he was getting clorox whines was never three or four feet close e. so i guess that's where we are right now. >> jon, thank you so much. in our next half hour, travel editor peter greenburg looks at whether a travel ban would make a real difference. that's ahead. a report says isis is taking to the air. they're teaching members of isis how to fly three flighter jets.
7:13 am

7:14 am
now, kobani is a major one. the battle is also a very public test of whether u.s.-led air strikes can halt the advance from the militants. >> holly, thanks. the winds are top 1g 00 miles an hour. hurricane force winds will reach ta island by tonight. the last hurricane to read bermuda was 2003, hurricane grain. it killed three people. this could be just as bad. meanwhile hawaii is bracing for hurry ana. more than 200 have been rescued so far. they were stranded by a string of deadly blizzards and avalanches this weekend. at least 29 are dead. seth doane is tracking the rescue efforts from beijing.

7:16 am
rescuers have been focusing part of their search near the hard hit pass which is nearly 18,000 pass. annapurna is the tenth highest mountain and is roughly 200 meals from mt. everest. >> they were out on vacation, not professional climbers. they were not looking to take on a mountain. >> hikers report absolutely beautiful conditioned before that wild storm swept in and rescue workers say that very deep snow is making it difficult for them to do their jobs. norah? >> seth, thank you. this morning cbs television is joining the shift in favor of online screaming. the network is starting a new online subscription service
7:17 am
called krf cbs access. peter is with us. good morning. >> hi, norah. >> what will this mean with the way we view television? >> as far as cbs is concerned, for $5.99, you can watch cbs over the internet. in addition there are older episodes. this is a new wave of television watching. >> i think it is but they're trying to address what are called cord cutters. >> you have the cable providers like comcast and charter. actually what cbs and hbo are going after are younger viewers which don't have a cable
7:18 am
subscription which on average costs 90 bucks a month. they're paying for netflix or others. the conclusion that most people reach is that the viewers that they're trying to get here are the younger viewers, so they're just additive. they're trying to get more and more people to watch. because after all the millennials are not signing up for the subscriptions. the other thing is the live sports. nfl is not part of the package. live cable is something. if you're a spormts fan you need the others. in san francisco, one swing echoed a legendary baseball moment. >> travis ishikawa hits one into right! the giants win the pennant! >> that ninability inning home

it is friday, october 17th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including where the buck stops on ebola. dr. david agus looks at the confusion in washington. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. with so many health care workers sidelined, it was in the best interest of the hospital to move her. >> they're pushing for travel restrictions. >> the possibility of an ebola czar. >> i think it makes a lot of sense. the devil is in the details.
8:01 am
>> unconfirmed reports claim that isis militants have begun flying warplanes over syria. >> dozens of trekkers were rescued today but it's believed there still could be more still trapped in the snow. >> cbs television is joining the shift in favor of online streaming. >> personally i think you guys are worth more than $5.99 a month. >> someone who loves baseball as much as we did and risk it all? >> the best i can say, i screwed up. >> the monopoly millionaire's club promises more than a dream. >> the last time the giants got to the world series on game-ending homer was in 1951. [ cheering ] >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by walgreens. >> i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and sharyn alfonsi.
8:02 am
gayle king is off. this morning we get a look at the face of ee pola. an emotional video shows an american victim. >> nina pham is the first nurse diagnosed with ebola after treating a patient in dallas. last night she left texas health presbyterian hospital and flew to maryland for more treatment. >> pham is in good condition at the national health institutes in bethesda. pham's colleague amber vinson is getting treated in an atlanta hospital with another unidentified ebola patient and a news cameraman is recovering from ebola in nebraska. the country's response to ebola is leading president obama to consider a so-called czar. that person would oversee efforts to contain the virus.
8:03 am
until now some reporters wondered who's in charge. >> you're interrupting me because you think you have a point to make but you understand my question. >> i think the point -- >> you seem to be reluctant to say who's in charge of the federal response to ebola. >> i think i'm stating very clearly to you who's responsible when it comes to this nation's response to ebola. >> there's not one person in charge. >> there are individuals who are directly responsible for their line of responsibility. our dr. david agus is here with us this morning. you can understand why there's so much confusion. why don't we know at this point? >> it's a very difficult question. the cdc is supposedly in charge but they have no sponlt over the hospitals. our constitution says states are in charge of health, not the federal government. >> do we need a czar? >> obama said for days we don't
8:04 am
need a czar and now all of a sudden the tune is changing. i think we do. we're getting such mixed messages. there was news that came out where it said after 21 days, you're free, some can have symptoms after 21 days. we're told one thing and the data is showing another. we're told in black and white and most of the time it's not real clear. >> we noam ber vknow amber vins nurse, may have traveled ill to ohio. now you have schools in ohio and texas shut down. workers on paid leave do. you think this is real or unnecessary panic? >> the risk of us getting the flu is thousands folds higher
8:05 am
than this. in a good year 3,000 die from the flu. in a bad year, 50,000. that being said, because of the indecision because nobody knows what information is real and they're told different things every day, it creates a normal threat. it's similar to the anthrax scare after 9/11 when nobody knew what was going on. >> in terms of ebola, it's not new. why is there so much confusion over days when it's okay to travel and all that? >> it's in our country. it would hit africa and wipe them out. now they're urbanized. you hit a city, and pow. this is the first time you're seeing it grow exponentially and at the same time viruses change. it's different than the virus of last year. it's different than the virus of last month even so the virus has slowly changed. this is new science. we need leadership to calm the country and at the same time
8:06 am
develop a plan so that we're not going to all be in trouble here and take care of africa because at the rate of growth in africa, it's going to be a million deaths by the end of january if it doesn't stop. >> i think one of the things we're saying is we feel like we're unprepared even though as charlie said, this isn't new. these nurses have been moved to high-risk decontamination units but there's not enough units across the country. is that the problem? >> there are four units with 20 beds that. is nothing. to prepare for ebola, i got an e-mail, this is what you need to do. obviously i'm not going to be in the front lines of it as a cancer doctor, but we need to train many about it. we're all scared. we're told any hospital can handle it and then we see nurses flown to georgia and washington because obviously they couldn't handle it in dallas, one of the biggest cities in the country. >> unbelievable. thank you, dr. agus.
8:07 am
if you have questions, dr. agus will answer questions live. >> that will be interesting. are you ready for your facebook page? >> i am ready, willing, and able. social media, here we come. earlier we showed you woman who's going to end her light. we look at a complicated story, a pennsylvania nurse named barbara mancini was prosecuted for allegedly helping her terminally ill 93-year-old father overdose on a bottle of morphine. in her first interview she shared her story. >> reporter: this is barbara mancini and her father in happier times at barbara's wedding in 1994. he had served in war in europe
8:08 am
in world war ii. barbara had always known him to be industrious. in the last year he was suffering kidney problems and other illnesses. doctors expected him to live six months or less and he was telling anyone who'd listen he wanted to die. >> he had very focused convictions about how he want md to live and being independent was a big part of that. >> he didn't want to end up in the hospital on a feeding tube. >> absolutely not. he never wanted to end up in the hospital. >> reporter: he made his wishes in writing. he enrolled in a home hospice program that prescribed small doses of morphine he could drink to ease his pain. it was in february of 2013 at his home in pottsville, pennsylvania, that barbara says he asked her to hand him the
8:09 am
bottle of morphine. >> he asked me to hand him a bottle and i did. i had the dosing sur rinne j in my hand. he took the cap off and drank what was remaining in the bottle. >> could you have stopped him? >> i think. he did it pretty quickly. but, no, i didn't try to stop him. >> we'll find out what happened to barbara mancini on "anderson cooper" on sunday in "60 minutes." the two black bears went for a walk thursday through a neighborhood. they stopped at a swimming pool, then curled up under a tree. wildlife officials said they left the bears alone because they were not threatening anyone. >> don't poke the baear. queen latifah will host the first ever hollywood film awards. they have honored the biggest

two teachers, one school, and terrible secret. the california's middle school girls targeted by two adults at the same time. one a male science teacher and the other a female teacher and coach. the crimes the girls suffered and the scars left behind are the jikt of tomorrow night's "48 hours." we have a preview from tracy smith. we have to warn you there are details you may not want your kids to hear. >> when i started going through the flashbacks and remembering
8:21 am
everything that happened to me, i didn't want to live anymore. >> kristin, a three-time all american swimmer and now the associate coach at women's swim team at california berkeley started having those flashbacks in 2010. >> i didn't know if i was going crazy. i could see the stuff that had happened to me happening again. >> the long buried memories dated back to when she was 14 years old, the first time kristen said she was sexually abused by a trusted teacher and coach from her middle school, a young married woman named julie. >> julie slammed my body on the bed, molesting me and kissing me and stuff. >> the abuse, kristen says, went on for 3 1/2 years as her obsession intensified beyond belief. >> she was everywhere. she would come into my house and be hiding under my bed when i would go up to my bedroom at
8:22 am
night. >> she literally was under your bed. >> yeah. i just felt this grab around my ankles. i was just paralyzed with fear. >> the abuse also happened inside this middle school and incredibly julie was not the only teacher there sexually abusing students. >> so who was mr. witters. >> he was a science teacher at my school. >> he would tell me they was special and he would touch me through my clothes and under my clothes. >> this woman asked that we call her jane doe and not show her face. >> how bad did it get for you? >> i often thought about killing myself and i did try on two occasions. >> jane and kristen did not know each other but were living through similar nightmares. >> i was having a hard time not killing myself. >> kristen's husband scott cried when he heard his wife's story. >> it was hard because you knew how much pain there was for her.
8:23 am
>> he said, i love you, we're going to get through this. we have two options. we can find her and kill her or we can go to the police. i just said we'll go to the police. >> the investigators needed proof. kristen would have to phone julie, the woman kristen considers a rapist and pretend to have feelings for her. >> you touched me or kissed me or whatever and i can't get over it. >> i just want you to know i'd do it over again. >> good morning. this is disturbing on so many levels. did the school know about the abuse? >> the school knew about dan witters the science teacher. there are memos that show they knew two years before he started abusing jane doe. they could have stopped it. instead they sat on it and did nothing until a group of girls came forward and they couldn't ignore it anymore. >> what's incredible to me is to appreciate the impact on the
8:24 am
victims. both girls thought about suicide. >> yes. people still snicker, especially when it was a female teacher. i wish this was serious. this is serious. these girls were suicidal. >> how were they connecting it to put it together? >> when christkristen came forw >> and it all came out. >> yeah. >> there's a story on the front page about hannah graham, the university of virginia girl who went missing and people who are abused and people who speak out and prosecuting individuals because they're continuous abusers. >> so true. teachers need to step up. go to the police. by law you're required to go to the police. >> you can see tracy's full report, "kristen's secret" tomorrow night on "48 hours." she's written so many books she's worn off the letters of

cbs contributor john dickerson is with us as well as frank luntz. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do we see when we see an institution that is supposed to have confidence and it's hard to believe. >> when you see people have such a sense of anxiety, we knew people didn't trust politicians, but if they didn't trust politicians, they had guardrails to grab and that was institution, whether government or church or local police. that was. there for them. we see faith in the american dream and old idea where if things fell away you still believed the next generation would feel better. we see a drop away from people and their american dreams. 're reaching out for the guardrails and they're not there and that creates an zit and that kind of feeds on themselves. >> the problem is the institutions that have the greatest impact on us, the cdc,
8:33 am
fda, epa, those are the ones that have the biggest collapse. in some cases it's a 20-point, 30-point drop in the last 15 to 18 months so there's not much the politicians can do, there's not much the business leaders can do. even the media, even the media has gone through a collapse in confidence so the people who report the information about whether we should trust politicians, we don't even trust the people who report that trust. >> i think one group, the fbi comes out okay in all things. that was not true in the early years. if you're an institution, stay out of the news. once you get in the news, you're on your way -- >> what's interesting is that the highest level of trust and confidence in government came during the reagan administration which was the most anti-government and the lowest level of trust is right now and
8:34 am
one could argue this president is trying to preach trust or at least involve the governments in helping people. >> john, we're seeing confidence in congress, paltry 9%. >> i think people are disappointed with congress because when it's not an election year, they look to washington for some sort of either solution or some sense of competen competency, and they get a continual dose of incompetence. then you go to the elections and look at what's taking place in political commercials and debates and what's happened things are targeted, it turns out to be about nothing that affects people in their daily lives. it reaffirms what people are thinking about. they're having a heated debate about something that doesn't matter to me at all.
8:35 am
>> like the fan. >> that's an acute moment of stupidity but look at the day-to-day conversation in which people are arguing for a tiny little plot over here while some are saying this affects my life that nobody's addressing. >> you can't help but talk about ebola. how does ebola specifically affect it? >> the way the republicans would like it to affect the elections is they've been trying to paint a picture and they've seized on whatever's in the headlines in the moment. and the way we all konk cover things, i thinks with 1 to 10. they point to 10 and say, be nervous, be scared, and that turns out whoever's not in power. >> this is 10 right here. so anyone walking toward new
8:36 am
york, this is what they see. whoops. so when we don't have faith in the scientific community, when we don't have faith in the health care community, what can we have faith in. >> i think it's going to hurt incumbents but not just on the national level. the highest number of incumbents beaten as governor since 1994, five. >> you think it may be more of like an anti-incumbent wave? >> exactly. it's way to say to the elite you not only let us down and failed us but we want to punish you and punish us. >> when you go out to talk to people, there's still a great deal of home in the country. piece are still looking for solutions for people on the stage. they haven't completely written
8:37 am
them off, although in a sense they have. they're in desperate hope that somebody's going to arrive and give them an answer. >> they want the answer. i don't believe there's still hope. >> does that kind of atmosphere play into the hands of people who want to call for radical answers, who will push for the most conservative, most in terms of not dem kralt, rbs possible in terms of quarantine teen, infecti infection, all of that. >> i thinchs what it encourages or what it calls for is for people to go out there and make grand promises. what happens when you have trust this low you need a series of trust-building exercises in government to create small incremental benefits. if you fix the dmv, then you can fix the bigger stuff. fix the tiny things that affect people in their livesle. build the foundation. the problem is the way our elections work, they come out
8:38 am
and promise these grand claims. if you set the skperkations that way -- >> does it have any similarity to the debate in terms of -- we've got to close in our borders and do all these things. >> yes. it leads to people but it's part of the structure and politics. when they say close the borders, you've got them speaking to an active part of their base. it also suggested if you do this one thing, the problem will be solved. >> thanks so much. she writes an average of a novel a year for more than two decades. test test
