he showed up at the emergency room. his fiance's pastor hopes there's an investigation into how this was all handled. >> she's expressed great concern and frustration that he was brought in and was not accepted right away, based upon his statements and how sick he was, the way that was handled. she thought he should have been admitted right away, should have taken this more seriously. >> nbc sarah dallof joins me. talk about the sheriff deputy. he served the quarantine order at the apartment. wouldn't that include taking the order to the home? help us understand what direct interaction, if any, he had with this family. >> reporter: well, officials don't believe he had direct contact with mr. duncan. he did serve that quarantine apartment at the apartment where duncan had stayed with his fiance and her family. they were there at the time.

however, they are considering him a low risk patient now, but treating him here out of abundance of caution, while they wait for test results to come back. that could take up to 48 hours. meanwhile, workers are following strict cdc guidelines when it comes to handling of duncan's body, for example, bodies should not be embalmed. they either need to be placed in her met cli sealed coffin or creamated. the family opted for cremation. anyone that comes in contact with the remains needs to wear personal protective gear for their own protection. officials continue to monitor 48 people that had some type of contact with mr. duncan. so far, no one has developed signs or symptoms of ebola during the twice daily temperature checks. >> i'm on pins and needles every day in dallas this week, and yes, throughout the whole 21

days. in fact, you know, some advice of the cdc was think about it as a 42day cycle. two 21 day issues. >> reporter: last night, a memorial service was held for duncan whose dying wish to see his son one last time was sadly not fulfilled. his fiance and her family who are in isolation during the 21 day watch period were able to watch that memorial service via video link on their computers. the fiance's pastor says she's asking a lot of what if questions in her grieving process, including if the hospital admitted him when he originally went there, would he have survived or would that have made a difference in his overall illness. if there could have been even a possible recovery. very difficult questions to answer, tamron, right now, and possibly may never be answered. >> sarah, to that point, i don't know what we have as far as a

time line, will there be a hearing, what do we know, what protocol or procedures will this hospital follow now as part of the investigation? >> yeah, that's a great question. this is the fiance calling for the investigation, calling for a thorough review of all aspects of duncan's care. we reached out to the hospital multiple times for a statement as to what happens next. we haven't heard anything back. we do know a little about the time line. duncan began first feeling ill around the 24th of september. he came to the hospital on the 26th where he was given antibiotics and discharged from the emergency room. he returned two days later, september 28th, in an ambulance where he was diagnosed with ebola. eventually put on a respirator, ventilator, on kidney dialysis, and was downgraded from serious to critical condition and finally passed away yesterday. >> sarah, thank you very much. in a matter of days, five u.s.

airports begin stronger screenings for people coming in from parts of west africa. passengers at jfk, newark, dulles, chicago, atlanta, coming from liberia. sierra lee own and new guinea will have temperatures taken, given questionnaires to be sure they're not at risk. here is the homeland security secretary jay johnson. >> we anticipate they'll be very effective. from my point of view what is important is that there is screening at multiple points. screening measures we are putting in place now are more active, they involve both a declaration from the traveler as well as taking the temperature of those coming from the three effected countries. >> according to an nbc news online survey, 73% say they agree the united states should start to screen for ebola. luke russert joins me from washington dulles airport. luke, you and i reported many times criticism with the tsa and airport security, you have

people wondering will this plan to screen potentially hundreds of people, if not more, be effective and ensure the safety of the american public. >> it is a very fair question, tamron. the real reasoning behind this plan going into effect is to calm the nerves, from officials we have spoken to, of the american public who are nervous about ebola spreading through the united states. a recent poll shows 58% of americans support an all out travel ban from those west african countries to the u.s. doctors frieden from the cdc said yesterday that in fact probably not the best thing, it would cut off medical supplies to and from effected areas so needed. what you're seeing with this unprecedented move by the u.s. government to put the screening procedures in place is really a real intrusive way to try and calm the public, but also to see if they can at least monitor

patients, 150 a day, 95% of west african travelers come through the five airports, if there's a way to get them in a database, get contact information, so if within that span of 21 days you talked about, perhaps they could go to a hospital and have the right information so you don't have a repeat of dallas. the other thing we are going to see is temperatures taken with hands free thermometers. if in fact someone displays sign of fever, they will be taken to a special screening area where they will see a medical professional who will make a determination about whether or not they should in fact go to a hospital. but tamron, it is all relative. two things. if you take an aspirin, the fever goes down and you could beat this test in theory. number two, there's no way to gauge whether or not everyone is going to be honest on the questionnaire. lastly, dr. frieden said this yesterday, west africa, a lot f malaria. there are a lot of false

positives. does that make the public more nervous because you hear of people from west africa with fevers in airports. something to keep an eye onto see what this does. >> joining me, arthur kaplan, from medical ethics at nyu. thank you for joining us again. let's go through some things that luke heard concerns from people. number one, with mr. duncan, according to information we have, he did not have a fever. with this screening process soon to be implemented, he would make it through. >> fever detection is weak scree screen. >> i am going to say to make it look like you're doing something. it is public reassurance. i am not opposed to temperature taking. if you think you're going to have a front line defense that way, i don't think so. >> then this questionnaire, asking people to answer this questionnaire honestly, if they think they can get better

medical treatment in the united states, and somehow they pass the temperature test, they're not a spiked fever but have been exposed. >> gee, i think i am feeling pretty good. no, i haven't been near anybody with ebola. if you want to get tough on this, aside from shutting down air travel, the other thing to do is you might say you have to go into the u.s. embassy and get a visa, and it will be 21 days before, you better be standing up and healthy in liberia, then show up at the airport. i don't think we are thinking outside the box enough on this. >> certainly with passing of thomas duncan, we from the beginning were asking hard questions about the procedures that were supposed to be in place at major hospitals, any hospital, especially dealing with a patient from west africa. what do you believe at this point, this is not about terminating anyone, but the critical information that seems to not get passed to the people

on the ground in the field at these hospitals, that's a problem past ebola. >> it is. you want to be sure, basically we're saying you see a patient, they come in with a complaint, you ask where have you been, have you traveled outside the country, come into the country. that has to be part of everybody's, every doctor and nurse taking a good history. one problem is it looks like the nurse asked, doctor didn't pick up the information. >> how does that happen. >> sometimes doctors don't read the notes. you better pay attention to who's doing the initial screen. >> what's interesting, we have the mayor from a small town in new jersey where a little boy passed away of enterovirus, a young kid died in his sleep, went to bed that night and did not wake up. they had a second case, suspicious case. and this boy was tested. there was a delay getting results from the cdc. the mayor of the town actually had to lobby a member of congress to then ask the cdc expedite results of the test.

what do you believe the cdc needs to do to advance itself as we have ebola scares and enterovirus and something else around the corner that we have not discussed? >> one thing coming is flu season. people will be running around with a fever, has to be pretty high. emergency rooms are jammed up with those people. if i was making a recommendation to cdc, i would say number one thing to push on, it is not a cure, a vaccine, a test. way back in hiv, aids days, took a couple days to figure out if someone had hiv. then we got a 24 test. we can do the same with ebola. we have to push for better testing. then you can use that at an airport, diagnose why someone died. we have heard a lot about cures, heard a lot about vaccines. we need a rapid test for ebola. >> and that rapid test would not just help people in the united states, of course, 7200 infected in west africa. >> and the problem with the test is if you test now, you have to

wait until someone has full blown ebola with a ton of virus in them. what you want is a test that says the virus is building up. that would be a huge weapon in this epidemic. >> thank you for your time. appreciate it. developing now, the chicago area man accused of trying to join isis will appear in court in moments. this as officials warn would be terrorists are discussing potential isis inspired attacks in north america. nbc's richard engel is next with a live report for us. also in the news today, bogus billing. at&t will now return millions of dollars to customers to settle claims of unlawful charges. how people can get their refund, and more importantly, details on what at&t did to some of those customers. and this.

developing now, a hearing is about to begin in federal court in chicago for the american teenager arrested at chicago

o'hare airport last weekend for allegedly attempting to travel to syria to join isis. the hearing will determine whether 19-year-old mohammed hamzah khan will be held in jail or released on bail. intelligence officials tell nbc news canadian authorities heard would be terrorists discussing potential isis inspired attacks in canada, against both u.s. and canadian targets there. shootings at shopping malls and beheadings. last week, they interrupted a plot to behead people on the streets of sydney. meanwhile, in turkey, new clashes for security forces and kurdish protesters. 21 people killed in such clashes yesterday. the protesters demand that turkey act to help the kurdish fighters defending kobani against isis onslaught.

nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel joins us from along the turkey border with syria. richard, as i understand, u.s. forces launched 23 air strikes against isis outside kobani in the past 36 hours. >> reporter: that is according to the u.s. military. it is a much more intensified campaign from the u.s. than we have seen so far. the battle for kobani going on for three weeks. the isis militants have been gradually encroaching on the city, doing it quite obviously unhindered from turkish military forces which are right on the border, and from coalition air strikes. that does seem to be changing now, and the defenders of kobani, kurdish fighters say the air strikes are making a difference. their spirits are much better than they were. they don't feel they're going to imminently lose control of the

city, only 48 hours ago or so it looked like isis was going to take over kobani in very short order. the air strikes are helping, they're cutting off the isis supply lines, and so far they haven't been able to drive the isis fighters out of kobani, but it has apparently slowed the isis advance. >> we lost our connection to richard engel. we apologize. turkey's foreign minister says it cannot be expected to lead a ground operation against isis in syria on its own. that just came down only a short time ago. that new comment from turkey's foreign minister. moving on though. coming up, rocking the mid term landscape. democrats are finding a new path to keep control of the senate in an unexpected state. where they're teaming with independents to take down red state republicans. and what san antonio spurs player danny greene says about

we have been talking about independents rocking the 2014 landscape for some time. now we have three clear examples, alaska, kansas, south dakota. joining me, senior political editor mark murray. this should catch a lot of eyes as we get more excited about the mid terms. independents coming and shaking things up. >> that's right. in two states it was written off by democrats, kansas and also south dakota, south dakota should be noted often had a lot of democratic senators in the past, it is a red state. democrats have been writing that state off for awhile. there had been a bit of a battle between harry reid and democratic senatorial campaign. tom daschle, former aide of tom daschle. if democrats hadn't spent a lot of money, then we got word they're popping a million into that race. a million dollars when you talk about campaign money seems like a small blip. but south dakota is cheap

advertising state, a million dollars can go a long way to saturate the air waves. >> i want to bring up one of the surveys, pew finds they're not following closely. we might see more interest than we have in the past. >> tamron, the interest is such a fascinating subject. turnout matters so much. that ends up determining winners and losers. pew isn't the latest that found americans are tuning out of the elections. on the other hand, you see democrats and republicans spend millions and millions of dollars trying to get people to turn out to the elections, particularly those that don't vote in mid term elections. it will be interesting to see which force is greater, apathy out there or amount of money that the organizations are going to be able to spend. that's one of the reasons the polls are all over in likely

voter models, who is a likely voter, not sure we determined who is what this electorate will be like. that's why we see divergent polls. >> thank you very much. we will speak with you tomorrow. police are investigating the deadly officer involved shooting near ferguson, missouri. this as protesters were preparing for several days of demonstrations. and what a new study found about impact of tough voter id laws on voters. one of the things we thought you should know. and our exclusive born in the usa series. listen closely. that's a lull a by version of jay-z empire state of mind. one of the many hits that lisa roth, the sister of van halen's david lee roth, is turning into

michael brown in ferguson, missouri. joining me now, valerie. thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> looking at ten miles from ferguson where the latest incident happened. authorities say he fired, has a weapon been recovered? >> yes, i believe it was. >> and family members said that gun did not belong to this young man. what else can you tell us regarding the conflicting accounts here? >> family at the scene, i believe some of them talked to folks that were there and that witnessed the account. police said that he had a gun and fired at officers and their projectiles found at the scene, a couple downhill from him and one that was behind the officer which was evidence that led them to believe that a weapon had been fired. >> the protesters will hold a vigil tonight to mark two months since the michael brown

incident. and they're planning a series of other protests. again, the timing of this is a concern and that emotions are high. still waiting to hear from the grand jury. now you have this fatal shooting being investigated. what are you hearing from some of the protesters who planned to be there and who were there last night? >> i'm not sure specifically what's being planned from the protesters' side. i know that ferguson october, a series of planned events and meetings and marches will be happening over the weekend and the timing on this i think is escalating. it was a volatile situation out there last night. protesters were there at the scene, and things were chilled for awhile, then chants started to ramp up, people started marching through the neighborhood. it was more ramped up than it had been at least that i had seen in ferguson in the last couple weeks. and ferguson had been pretty controlled, and last night was pretty angry. >> see what happens with the

vigil. thank you for the information provided. thank you. moving on, new video showing an nypd officer taking more than $1,000 in cash from a man's pocket, tops our look at stories around the news nation. new york prosecutors are investigating allegations that the officer stole $1300 during a stop and frisk incident, then pepper sprayed the man and his sister when they complained and asked for his badge number. cell phone video of the incident shows the officer pushing the man against the fence by a basketball court, before grabbing what appears to be that money. the man says he had all of the money on him because it was his birthday, and wanted to take his wife to dinner. san antonio spurs shooting guard danny greene is apologizing today for posting this selfie taken at the holocaust memorial in berlin on social media. the selfie accompanied by a caption, quote, you know i had to do it one time, lol. #holocaust. greene deleted the original post

you created this idea. what was going on? what happened? >> that's a great way to put it. well, i had just started at the label that produces these albums and i was shopping for a baby gift for a friend who loves music and i was very underwell ammed by what was out there. i didn't see anything that was adult friendly that was fun or humorous, and that i would be proud to give. i worked at a label. i thought we have to do something about this. and my co-worker at the time, valerie aiello had a similar idea, and development began. nine months later, we gave birth. >> gave birth. a great way to put it. some artists, jay-z, bon jovi, michael jackson, madonna, nirvana, the cure. foo fighters, rihanna, you have gone across the gamut there. some artists approached you wanting their music to be

lullaby? yes, we have been approached. i don't know that i can tell those tales out of school, but steven tyler contributed liner notes to our aerosmith cd, and joe elliott, elton john, kate hudson, a number of musicians and celebrities. so i feel very gratified and lucky. >> you are very lucky. 1.6 million albums. there are current artists wish they could sell that many albums in this climate these days. >> well, on top of that, we have over 1.3 million tracks because digital downloads now. it is doing well. it is very good. i think it is very popular because it appeals to the adult. maybe the part of the adult that existed before baby, and the part that maybe they fear they

have to give up. so i think that's part of it. >> you say if we don't have a baby in the house, we can pop in one of the lullabies? >> you totally can. i have been told they use them in yoga studios, and college students study to them. it is endless. >> the chief customer is the infant. what kind of reaction have you seen from babies that might be rocking out to a little foo fighters lullaby? >> i hear mostly from the parents and they are very pleased. we have been sent video of kids crying and falling asleep when they put on rockabye baby. we follow social media closely, get great comments. people are excited to see what's coming up. so i think it is working. >> well, it is working by the sales numbers alone. it is proof that you have an

knowing the terrible symptoms her disease would visit on her if she were to live it until the end. she can live her life and then avoid the very last of the devastating horrific symptoms. she has partnered with compassion choices in order to make that vision a reality after she is gone. we will do our darnedest to make that happen. 4 1/2 million views of her video clip. today's views will be tomorrow's activists. once people have their consciousness raised, they realize what a terrible injustice it is for states to criminalize peace of mind. they will let the lawmakers know it's unacceptable to uproot yourself and go to another state to achieve peace of mind this your dying. >> oregon in 1997 was the first state in the united states to make it legal for a doctor to

prescribe life-ending drugs to the terminally ill. the health records show 1100 residents obtained the end of life prescription and 750 people have used them. one of the questions i understand that people ask, how long does someone have to be a resident to participate? you have people from all overlooking at oregon as an option as they decide if they want to take this route. >> for the most part people don't have that option because they don't have the determination and the resources and the mobility that brittany has. they shouldn't have to leave their homeland and home state to achieve the peace of mind she has. people should be able to die with dignity in the comfort of their own homes with their own families and their belongings beside them. >> thank you so much for your time and thank brittany for

sharing her story and allowing you to discuss what in the end is between her family, but she decided to make this a public plea so that others could have the choice she is making. thank you so much for your time. >> exactly. thank you. >> what does your gut tell you. should everyone have the choice to die with dignity and should more states follow oregon's law? go to "news nationewsnation.msn vote. we will see you tomorrow.
