what that breach was and when it happened. the head of the cdc does say taking proper precautions is not always easy to do the right way. >> the care of ebola can be done safely but it's hard to do it safely. it requires meticulous and scrupulous attention to infection control and even a single inadvertent innocent slip can result in contamination. >> meanwhile in texas health officials say one person came in contact with the nurse after she got sick is in isolation for testing. 18 other hospital workers are also being monitored along with 48 people who may have been in contact with mr. duncan before he was diagnosed. at the nurse's apartment hazmat teams don't decontaminate in and around her home. joining me now from dallas is sa

cz. the cdc is looking into the kidn kidney dialysis that may have spread the contaminated material on the nurse here. you've been on the ground covering from the story from the beginning. people are put off a bit when they hear the cdc say there's a breach without further explanation. >> yeah, it is concerning here to people. the nurse was following protocol, supposedly, put in place by the cdc. she was completely suited up in protective gear including face and eye masks and all of that stuff. people concerned here that someone working supposedly protected working with mr. duncan had developed ebola. let's talk about what they're specifically looking at now as they try to determine where this breach of safety protocol happened. they say they interviewed the nurse and she's not sure where that occurred. what they're looking at now include how the worke erers rem

their protective gear. that's a possibility. they're looking a the the kidney dialysi dialysis. these are two procedures involved on mr. duncan and involved bodily fluids. the nurse involved were considered to be low risk. they were asked to self-monitor. when she came down with the low grade fever on friday she made a phone call. there was procedures in case someone who worked with him got ill. she drives herself to the hospital. she's immediately rushed in. the time from the phone call to her being in isolation being tested for ebola was about 90 minutes. the test result preliminarily came back on saturday as positive. the cdc confirmed those yesterday. her apartment, which is about 15 minutes from here still going through the decontamination process. we're told crews have completed the decontamination of the public areas there. officials on sunday went door to door and did reverse 9-1-1 calls to alert neighbors as to what was going on.

we're expecting more information in about an hour here as to any developments if they've been able to isolate this breach of safety protocol. >> we understand the hospital now diverting ambulances to other emergency rooms. we also know that the louisiana attorney general buddy caldwell released a newsreel regarding plans to dispose or incinerate some of the materials taken from the hospital. what can you tell me about that? >> yeah, in that statement he says there are too many unknowns and that it is absurd to transport potential hazardous ebola waste across state lines. he could file a temporary restraining order on this as early as today. he's preparing to send a letter to texas state officials and federal officials seeking additional information on ebola handling the handling of ebola waste and the disposal of it. six truckloads were taken to port offer author texas with the plans to transport the waste to

louisiana. we're awaiting to see if and when it will happen. >> thank you. as the information continues into how the nurse contracted ebola, the country's largest nurse's union is angry that blame is being placed on the nurse and said hospitals are not providing the training needed for handling ebola patients. >> we have seen in our hospitals in this country that they have not given us this information. and then when the nurses become infected they are blamed for not following the protocols. that is not going to work. >> and with me now is debra burger, president of the california nurse's association and copresident of national nurses united. >> good morning. >> we're looking a the information as sara reported the cdc is looking at the kidney dialysis they were deemed high risk procedures. one would assume given the severity of the potential, severity of this situation there

would have been checks and balances in place to make sure that the nurse was safe and everyone around. now it just seems as if from the statements dra s that we receiv far there's a finger being pointed in the direction of the nurse, perhaps, doing something wrong. >> well, that's what we're really troubled about and very angry and upset about. the fact that the first thing that went wrong in dallas with mr. duncan, they started blaming the nurse. this time they are now blaming the nurse for a lapse in protocol. when in fact what we're asking for is optimal protection for health care workers taking care of thouse patients. we're asking for a buddy system so people can be monitored when they're providing the care. as the cdc pointed out, any slip will result in being exposed to this deadly disease. it is very troubling that the

workers taking away the waste have better protections for their workers than the hospitals are currently ready to provide for nurses in the event of being required to take care of an ebola patient. >> in a survey, 76% of nurses said hospitals have not informed them of the ebola policy. i know, the national nurses united will hold a conference call on wednesday. what are your clear goals and objectives? what would you like to see come out of the conference that those beyond -- at some of the hospitals if not all the hospitals. >> what we want to make sure happens is that the nurses have optimal protection when they're providing care for the patients. >> what does mean? we know in the case in dallas the nurse had on the proper gear that was expected. >> right. but what we need to make sure is

that there's a buddy system in place so those workers are monitored when they're putting the garments on aremoving the garments that have the contamination on them. we want to make sure that obviously we need to step up the protections for those workers, and we want to make sure that when they're put in the situations that they have the support and resources they need to be treating these patients safely. >> you know it's interesting on nightly news last night. there was a nurse kelly fields and she was one of the few spoke out and said that if there was a true case of ebola and she's in washington, d.c., that she felt her hospital was not prepared. the employer, which was providence hospital in washington, d.c., categorically denied they were not prepared saying they followed guidelines established by the cdc. do you believe if nurses don't feel confident, especially in major cities like new york or

washington, d.c., that they may potentially decide to take stronger action against some of the hospitals? that's actually what we're concerned about. the fact we have not had the hands on training and education, the ability to practice using the equipment. to make sure we understand how we put these protective pieces of equipment on, and it looks like now maybe the cdc requirements aren't really enough. they're not strong enough. and we really want to be able to have optimal care, optimal equipment and make sure that optimal is not optional. >> all right. thank you very much. we know the nurses are the first line. they're on the front line of when any patient goes into the hospital er or otherwise. thank you so much for your time. with me now is dr. nina r ratcliff here to answer some of the viewers questions. first, let's talk about the concerns from the nurse's

association. they're the front line. if they don't feel they are adequately equipped with the technology, with the protection, and honestly, with the knowledge. >> first, i want to say this is not the time to finger point. i don't like the way they're finger pointing saying she had a breach in protocol. we're worried we have fear. right now we have to understand all hands are on deck. we need to get all hands on deck. if the nurses are feeling they're not properly trained this is something we need to get them trained. they're on the front line. they're risking their lives and taking care of patients. >> it seems some do not have the confidence in the cdc guidelines that we talked about last week. just in the latest example. >> the cdc guidelines the protocols work. doesn't mean they'll be easy but they are challenging. ebola is passed through bodily secretions, se man, blood, vomit, fee cease. if we can protect ourselves. is there something in particular with the patients that we can figure it out.

>> but dr. kent brantly survived ebola said he followed all guidelines. he cannot find a glitch in the system as far as what he executed. so that makes, again, this contrast between following the cdc guidelines and kent brantly saying i did follow the guidelines. >> right. that's why we have to do a full investigation. there's something there whether it's the same in both cases. there's something there where it's being transmitted. we need to figure it out. it's bodily discretion. it's important so we can reinstate the faith in the health care workers. >> tim wrote said how are doctors and nurses trained to care for ebola patients. is more training needed? >> we do not come in contact with bodily fluids. every person at the hospital does gloves, being able to wear a mask, hat, bodily protection. do we have it specifically for ebola? no. it does work against hiv, it works against hepatitis c. it can work for ebola.

there is something, again, a glitch that's where need find out. it's like the aviation industry. they have set protocols that work. we need to figure it out. e. >> chuck writes is the cdc keeping us abreast of what subpoena hag or are they trying to avert panic? >> we have to understand that fear of the disease is spreading fe faster than the disease itself. we have two cases so far. we brought in three patients here. they're doing well. we have two cases. that doesn't make an epidemic. >> it's the first case. it is two cases but it's the first person diagnosed in the united states. >> exactly. it. >> and the first person to person exposure happens in this one case. >> exactly. we're not trying to down play it. we cannot have feerd. we can't afford to have fear. we need to allow everyone to do what they need to do. from the airport to the frontlines to the emergency room, the ambulance, we need to

understand. >> thank you so much for your time. greatly appreciate it. the doctor is standing by for the next couple of hours answering your questions about ebola. please join the conversation by tweeting your questions and use the #ebolaanswers. developing now protesters in ferguson, missouri are gathering to march to the police station. we'll have a live update from the ground there. cameras and cops. a seattle company that manufactures police body cameras now says sales are up dramatically. are cases of alleged excessive force by police up as well? and the president returns to the campaign trail this week after many democrats attempted to distance themselves from him ahm ahead of the midterms? what is the president's strategy? join our conversation online. you can find the te team @"newsnation." follow me on facebook, twitter, and instagram @tamronhall.

welcome back. we're following developing news from ferguson, missouri at least 17 people were arrested over the weekend. today is the fourth and final day of what organizers call a weekend of resistance. protesters will march to the ferguson police department. while most of the demonstration this weekend had been peaceful, we've seen some tense confrontation between demonstrators and police including this moment. when hundreds of protesters were met by officers in riot gear leading their batons to the ground. tremaine lee is in ferguson. people are lining up. what is the strategy today? >> reporter: the strategy today, tamron, is taking the cue from

moral monday. they plan on staging acts of civil disobedience across the region. they've been pretty hush about what that means. organizations are planning to dissent across the city to make a point clear they're demanding justice for michael brown but more broadly injustices they feel are being committed across the country. folks are lining up. it's pretty nasty. >> we understand one of the places they plan to march, you said to the police station, right? >> reporter: that's correct. the police station behind me which is ground zero for several weeks in the protest. organizes particularly clergy groups. >> i know you spoke with michael brown, sr. yesterday. let me play a little bit of your interview with him. let's play that. >> there's a lot on my back now. you know, it's a situation where

i'm never going to heal on the inside, you know. i can get by maybe day by day. you can probably look and see and probably think i'm doing okay and really not. but it's something i have to work on. we have a lot of support and i have to be strong. >> we heard him say a lot of support they have to be strong. but we know the family, like the community, they're waiting to hear back from the grand jury. >> right. in that interview yesterday and talking with the father, that's the part that stuck out the most. he may look okay on the outside but on the inside never be whole and feel like he has to be strong for thousands of supporters. we're hearing as early as between now and january the grand jury could come back with a decision. the concern is there be unrest if the indict is not returned. which many don't have faith there will be an indictment of

darrin wilson. >> protesters will end up where you are. we'll continue to follow the kwomts on the ground there. thank you very much. the michael brown shooting as well as other high profile cases involving use of force by police may not have made national headlines if not for video and audio capturing some portions. many of the cases added to the ongoing conversation whether police should be equipped with cameras. a seattle company that manufacturers the cameras said last month it saw their largest sales on records. that requests for test units are up 70% since the brown shooting. nbc pete williams has more. >> police in indiana face a lawsuit after an officer smashed a car window and taserered a passenger. a scene recorded by a child in the backseat. in florida an officer is on leave after a video showed him using a taser on a 62-year-old woman walking away.

>> taser the lady for nothing. >> a pregnant woman in new york city is suing after she tried to intervene as her son was arrested. a video of an officer shoving her to the ground. they say people in minority communities do not trust the police. >> before the technology, you know, when we cried out about police violence, you know, people didn't hear us. our voices weren't being heard. and now when we're equipped with this time of information, we're able to get it out there. >> every week seems to bring another on youtube and picked up by the news media. people who study police behavior doesn't mean there's more brutality. >> it's only with the technology we're seeing a fraction of this counted. it does not mean there is some sort of increase in police use of force or use of excessive force. >> partly it's more cameras on the street.

nearly 60% of americans have a smartphone and now many of the nation's police are saying they should carry cameras, too. patrol cars have long had dash board cams to show when police officers are attacked. growing number of police are wearing body cameras. a recent study in california showed a 60% drop in officer use of force when police wore cameras. with an 88% drop in citizens complaints. even so experts in policing say body cameras aren't enough. they're not a substitute for the kind of training and the kind of preparation and deescalation skills you want officers to have. most importantly, building relationships with the community. >> the numbers of cameras on the street worn by police and aimed at them is growing many say that's a good thing. pete williams, nbc news washington. >> thank you, pete. a top ranked high school football team at the center of a hazing scandal could face a second season cancelled. i'll talk live with a

season based upon information that was provided to us that there were acts of harassment, intimidation, and bullying on a wide scale level that was generally accepted and tolerated by the student altogeththletes. we're reading accounts and seeing the charges we're horrified as everyone else is. >> joining me now dr. susan, a psychologist and hazing expert. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> to the point, according to reports in the paper some of the boys would stand guard at the locker room door. others would hold victims down. one boy would howl and turns light off and victims were allegedly sexual assaulted. some of the allegations are brutal but it was a pack mentality if these allegations are true. with that said, this is part of the reason that the superintendent said everyone now has to pay the price.

>> that's true. yeah. this is a general description of what happens in a hazing. it's a group process. it's used to discipline or maintain the pecking order. this is very common. people should understand that. now i think the superintendent stopping football for the season is a great message to send not only to the students but to the entire town and all the other teams. because when you have hazing in one team it's likely that it's in other teams as well. >> but what, i mean, you have -- and we heard from parents at the town hall recently who said, listen, it wasn't my kid. my son is in the band. my daughter is a cheerleader. they have nothing to do with this. but your argument and expertise says that kids do tell each other. >> kids know. i mean, this is a group process. everybody knew. when there's howling and parents are standing outside and the children don't want to go in the locker room. even the parents had to know something was going on. everybody knew something was

going on. what exactly maybe not. the kids are part of it. they're a bystander or perpetrator. they know it's going to happen again. >> it's interesting you use the word tradition. i think before there is successful anti-bullying campaigns. people would dismiss bullying as a tradition and you see that hazing is somehow treated that same old school way of thinking. whether it's the ohio state university band. you had florida famu band. where things are described as tradition. >> my definition is hazing the process based on a tradition used by group to discipline or to maintain the high ark key. that's unlike bully. there's is a difference between bullying and hazing. bullying is a individual act, usually spant use. hazing is a plan. they knew every season they're going to do this. they do it in each season they went ahead their own mark it grows and grows it getting a

little more violent or sexualized. >> do you have advice for parents in so you the successful football team and oftentimes people turn a blind eye to success superintendent not in this case. what advice do you have for parents who suspect it's going on and how to tackle this? >> well, i think that the first thing they have to do is have the communication with their child where they will feel trusting in order to come to them and report what is going on. they have to understand and teach their kids they'll be held responsible. some of the kids will end up in court. some kids might end up in the hospital. and then the bystanders eventually would be held responsible at some point. we have to say it's your duty to report. >> do you think other schools will follow the lead here? >> yes, i think everybody should use this as a life lesson now. the coaches, the administrators, the parents to say this is what can happen. you're not innocent. even if you didn't exactly do it. you could be held responsible. just by knowing about it. >> thank you so much for your time and insight. a hazing expert which presents

the developing now. in ferguson, missouri these are pictures as protesters march to the city's police department. demonstrators are planning acts of what they call civil disobedience across the region today. they've been vague what it means. today is the fourth and final

day of what organizers deemed a weekend of resistance. so you see the beginning of this march to the ferguson police department. but this should last throughout the day followed by what they've described as acts of civil disobedience peaceful protests throughout the day. with the midterm elections about three weeks away, president obama will appear at his first big campaign event in the midterm cycle. the president will headline a rally wednesday for connecticut governor daniel malloy who is locked in a tough battle for re-election. other big name democrats have been on the campaign trail, the president's absence has been particularly, as you can imagine, noticeable. just lack week new hampshire senator seemed to distance herself from the president while kentucky senate candidate allison lundgren-grimes wouldn't say if she voted for the president. >> did you vote for president obama in 2008 and 2012?

>> you know, this election isn't about the president. it's about -- >> i know. >> it's about making sure we put kentucky back to work. >> having the president come would not be helpful? >> well, the president is dealing with a lot of cry cease in the world right now. i expect him to be in washington. >> joining me live now mark murray. as we know, the president's approval numbers are down, but he is still the big fund-raiser bringing in more money than anyone else in his party at this point. at least there is some part of that party that wants to bring in the cash. whether they want to stand alongside the president or not. so what is the strategy here? especially wednesday? >> well, tamron, president obama was told a long time ago and when asked how he ended up helping senate democrats and other campaigns this cycle people said just raise money. that is a reality of a president who is facing an approval rating in the 40% as opposed to 50%. there is one big difference in

the two examples you provided. you know, in new hampshire that was a state president obama won twice in 2008 and 2012. you see jean shaheen a tough but winnable race for her distancing herself. kentucky is a whole another matter. president obama on the best day was not doing well in the state of kentucky. you're seeing the art of two different types of democrats. those in red states and those in purple/blue states that president obama is won in the past. it's interesting he's going to connecticut. that's a state he won by 17 percentage points in 2012. back to the question what is the strategy. will the president tout successes with the economy? what is the sell there? >> the sell still a tough race for a state that president obama won by 17 percentage points. having him get the base supporters. talking about the economy and other things. the biggest key for democrats

right now in lot of ways is to be able to localize races. to say that x candidate is better than y cat. not to make it about the overall mood of the country but more candidate x who is a democrat is better than candidate y is a republican. i think that'll what you're going to hear president obama make on wednesday. and there are major developments today in the battle against isis. the white house says turkey has agreed to let the u.s. and the allies use a major base in turkey to launch air strikes against isis targets in syria and iraq. but today turkey says those talks are on going. being able to use that turkish base 100 miles from the syrian border would creately cut the distance for pilots flying those air strikes. despite three weeks of u.s.-led air strikes isis continues the assault on strategic syrian town of kobani. despite two months of air strikes in iraq, isis continues to make gains there.

joining me now in studio msnbc military analyst and medal of honor recipient colonel jack jacobs. let me play what secretary of state john kerry said regarding the battle for kobani. let's play that. >> kobani is one community. it's a tragedy of what is happening there. we don't diminish that. but we have said from day one it is going to take a period of time. to scare bri to bring the coalition thoroughly to the table. to rebuild some of the morale and capacity of the iraqi army, and to begin the focus where we ought to be focussing first, which is in iraq. >> so, colonel, kobani is one community. >> and it's in syria. making that distinction between what is taking place in syria and what is taking place in iraq and the president said we're going to deal with iraq and syria maybe later on if we ever get there. i don't think we're going to do anything in syria. if we do it will only be with

some kind of coalition. >> speaking of the coalition, here the white house saying that turkey has agreed to let the u.s. use the air base. now turkey is saying wait a minute. the talks are ongoing. >> i think what happened here the united states misinterpreted the political process inside turkey. >> how is that possible? >> well, because we're not paying very much attention. you know, hope is that a real motivator. we want them to say yes. so far what has happened is that the parliament has given the authority to go ahead and do that. he hasn't yet done it. the turkish government was quick to respond saying we haven't decided yet. and the discussions are ongoing now. >> isis claimed responsibility for the weekend attacks in baghdad. sop some 70 people kill there had. this prompting calls for change in strategy even though the strategy hasn't been cemented

with a coalition. here is senator john mccain. >> they're winning and we're not. the iraqis are not winning, the peshmerga, the kurds are not winning and there's a lot of aspects of this, but there has to be a fundamental reevaluation of what we're doing. because we're not degrading and ultimately destroying isis. >> no huge surprise that john mccain criticizing the president's strategy. there have been others including panetta saying that all options should be open. >> i don't think all options are on the table. i don't think we're going to be putting our troops on the ground. certainly not in syria in any case. we have not actually been launching as many air strikes on to isis formations as we could. one is we haven't had the use of the turkish air base. we haven't been targeting too many of these guys. we're not going to until we know exactly what it is that the other participants in the

coalition are going to do. right now nobody else in the rest of the coalition has said anything. >> for john mccain to say they're winning and we're not. your response to that? >> their objective is to achieve control of the area and they're working toward it and they're doing a very good job of it and ult ma-- ultimately they will control it. our objective is to destroy isis. so he's right about that. >> thank you so much for your time, colonel jack jacobs. a reminder, because our ongoing conversation continues regarding ebola. doctor radcliffe is standing by answer to your questions and concerns. you can join the dialogue use #ebolaanswers. and dr. radcliffe will be here until 2:00 p.m. eastern time. coming up the tough new tv ads from wendy davis as she trails republican greg abbott in the poll. >> a tree fell on greg abbott.
