10:00 am
stopping ebola is hard. we are working together to make it safer and easier. we have to rethink the way we address ebola infection control because even a single infection is unacceptable. >> welcome to the program, everybody, i am live back in dallas which, of course, has now become the location of the very first person-to-person transmission of ebola on u.s. soil. that individual, a nurse who treated eric duncan is being treated in the same isolation unit in that hospital right behind me. we are hearing just now the president is going to be briefed on this situation in just a few hours. >> that will happen at 3:00 p.m. we have live updates leading up to that. we heard the latest from the cdc in a brophying that concluded with them giving us a couple
10:01 am
pieces of information. here is that information. we know this individual is in stable condition in this hospital behind me and we know that she caught it early. identifying symptoms on friday after being out of work for two days and immediately beginning a cdc advised protocol for monitoring such symptoms, reportedly checking herself in the hospital within 90 minutes of the first symptoms him there are signs of hoerngs since we know that catching it is everything in treating the virus. we've just heard a country him other comments from the cdc. take a listen to what thomas frieden said a few minutes ago. >> she's been extremely helpful and we have identified one and only one contact who had contact with her during a period when she was potentially, although likely not infection. it was at the very onset of her symptoms. that individual is also being monitored and as of now has no symptoms suggestive of ebola.
10:02 am
>> reporter: so clearly, a lot of focus right now on identifying and monitoring any individuals that this nurse came into contact with. no report of symptoms if any of those individuals just yet. the community here in dallas is reacting in real time. just about 15 minutes from here is the apartment complex where this nurse lived. residents have been advised that that building is disinfected. the common spaces are disinfected. her apartment is being cleaned by a special crew, especially trained if that cleaning. we hear there has been an outpouring of love and support for this young woman. someone friends and family describe as big hearted, compassionate, devoted to caring for others. judge clay jenkins has been at the community heart of this. right now, are you in the thick of this you also are in contact with the family, i understand. i want to hear from you. first of all, tell me about this young woman. you talked to the community. you talked to the family.
10:03 am
i want to say, not using the name, some publications have, nbc isn't doing so until the family or others divulge that name. >> that's heroic to your list of adjectives you gave about this young woman. for her and her family, health care is a calling. she knew the risk of catching this disease. she volunteered anyway. she took her temperature. she did everything correctly in going to the isolation, so that the risk to others would be minimized. it was caught extremely early. the protocols put in place to check on her health worked and she, as far as after she, the breach happened and she was unfortunately affected, we are searching to find out exactly what that brooch is. but we brought in a large team and we've made improvements over the last 24 hours to infection control at the hospital instituting a buddy system.
10:04 am
doing the sorts of things that are necessary to make sure this never hams again. >> that is one ting that's been promised by texas health officials, that there would be a prepared inside for a potential sec case of thomas eric duncan that there wasn't for his case. do you feel there has been a fundamental change in how prepared the community is? >> the community is prepared w. reprepared for people beth on the outside that we are monitoring and for the health care professionals. we have to still ourselves for the possibility that more health care professionals may become ill. we are working around the clock to make sure we are ready with contingency plans for that, if it occurs. >> reporter: judge jenkins, how is the family doing right now? >> the family is handling this with grace and with dignitary and through their faith and i met with the parents and sister this morning. they're a fine family.
10:05 am
you could add that word heroic to describe that family as well. >> apparently a tightly knit church-going community. how are others reacting? we heard from dallas news, a supportive outpouring the day. >> yes, everyone recognizes that this young woman is going through a terrible ordeal that we can only look on and try to sympathize with, so this sxunt out pouring to her and her family as best we know how. >> has the family been able to have contact with them, with this individual? >> we have facetime opportunities. so the priest and the family are able to converse with her on facetime. >> do you know water been exchanged in those moments? >> well, those are private moments between the family. i do know that the catholic church gave her an apoint inment for sick ness via facetime.
10:06 am
so that's probably the only thing that if you are clrk you know what that is. >> reporter: do you have a message for people? there is a lot of concern and love but fear for people and their own families? >> here's the salient take away on that, if you did not come in contact with a bodily fluids of eric duncan, are you not at risk of getting ebola. go about your lives. pray for these health care workers and these disease contacts that we're monitoring. rear on the tame end of the people outside of health care. this is a new concern with this breach. you out in the community are safe with ebola. >> reporter: thank you for everything you are doing. >> thank you for getting the right information out. we appreciate you. >> reporter: we have much more coming up live here from dallas, including a new strain of outrage in the community of furss around the country, some
10:07 am
objecting to the way in which it appears health officials pay have placed blame on those caring for thomas erin duncan. you hear from this community right after this break. don't go away, everybody. but there are no branches? . yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. suddenly you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. woman: everyone in the nicu -- all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days.
10:08 am
everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment. i wouldn't trade him for the world. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. if you're caring for a child with special needs, our innovative special care program offers strategies that can help. for over 19 million people. [ mom ] with life insurance, we're not just insuring our lives... we're helping protect his. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. transform tomorrow.
10:09 am
transamerica. so ally bank really has no hidden fethat's right. accounts? it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.
10:10 am
. >> i had yellow gowns, mask, no foot protection no, hair covers. if we get a true case of ebola, we're not prepared for it. >> reporter: that's a washington, d.c.-based furs saying she doesn't feel prepared for potential ebola cases. she is not alone. according to union and professional nurses, national
10:11 am
nurses united. they found 76% of all nurses say there is a lack of preparedness, their hospitals haven't communicated a clear response to ebola cases. they're going to address some of those concerns on a conference call on wednesday, gathering together nurses from around the country and fill what they see as gaps in preparedness, of course, these health workers are on the very front lines and at the greatest risk oftentimes. out of the 433 cases of ebola deaths in west africa, more than 370 were health workers. stark risks there for the people we depend on most to address this. nurse martha, thank you for your time, tell me why this widespread feeling there is a lack of preparedness in the united states? >> our employers are many, many different hospitals. they're all doing something
10:12 am
slightly different. for example, my employer sent three e-mails. they're complicated e-mails. i received them while i'm working on other patients. there is no additional time. for the one to ask questions to. no one to practice with and how to protect myself and all of our patients from infectious disease. >> martha, take a listen to this, the cdc director yesterday talking about where the honus is, whether it's nurses or hospitals. take a listen. >> we don't know what occurred in the care of the index patient, the original patient in dallas, but at some point, there was a breach in protocol and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. >> reporter: a breach in protocol. that's caused a stir. some nurses say it unfairly shifted the blame on to nurses or hospitals that prepare them. where should that onus lie, par
10:13 am
that? >> the onus has to be with the hospital. the hospitals have to provide proper information, the highest level of personal protective equipment we see others wearing, such as hazardous hazmat suits and breathing apparatus. and those aren't widely available in our hospitals some we're not prepared. we also feed time to practice putting them on, taking them off. practice with other members of our health care team when we're providing care t. onus is clearly with the employer for not providing that training. >> reporter: martha, today the cdc director did address that outrage in the nursing community saying it was never meant to shift blame. do you think that's initial walking back of that initial sentiment? >> i think the cdc should make
10:14 am
sure every hospital and health care worker is prepared and they should step that up and they should fully investigate what happened so that all of us do foe how to better protect ourselves. so far they haven't released the information about what happened. they started that statement saying they're not sure. but they believe it was a breach if protocol. >> reporter: right. still a lot of facts to come out. one thing we do know, though, there are a couple weak points in preventing transmissions. difficult steps, one is removing protect i protective gear we've heard. that that's a 12-step process to get out of the hazmat suits. it takes up to 30 minutes t. temperatures can go up to 115 degrees. tell me about that process and whether you think there is enough training for properly
10:15 am
removing that gear. >> well, i, myself, have never taken on or off a hazmat suit. i have never been trained. i take on and off personal protective equipment every day on my job. i know the procedure. but it's much less than what a hazmat suit is with breathing apparatus. so also, people who are doing this properly have buddies and they have someone to remind them and make sure they don't misstep and we're reminded to go slow. we really do feed additional training. we feed practice. we feed someone watch us practice. we feed the highest level of personal protective gear and we need everyone involved in assessing, triageing patients as they approach anyone in a hospital needs the training. >> a clear, strong call for more and better training for nurses
10:16 am
around the country. thank you, martha kuhl. obviously, our thoughts are with the health care professionals that are most important stop gap against the disease right now. we will have a lot more on this, thank you so much. we appreciate it we will have a lot more. it's developing on the ground. first, we have updates on unrest in ferguson. the day after the latest clashes, people are taking to the streets again, we have incredible exclusive footage coming up. stay with us. you won't want to miss. that stay with us, eb. everybody. . prescription drug plans,

10:20 am
missouri saying they want justice in the shooting death of michael brown. organizers are expecting widespread arrests today all over st. louis. >> all lives matter. >> crowds are gathered right now outside the ferguson police department. this was after a march through the town. today is the final day of a four-day long protest, two months after brown, an unarmed african-american teen was fatally shot by a white police officer. the ferguson police department said the officer was acting in that moment in self-defense. ron alan is live in felgerson, what can you tell us about the scene there, ron? >> reporter: well, ari, they promised a grand finally, the weekend of resistance. you can see over there, it's quite a scene.
10:21 am
there is a pouring rain. there are hundreds of people outside the ferguson police department. they marched across the street to the apartments. there have been scuffles of police. riot gear moved in behind all those umbrellas in that crowd you can't see now. thousand arrests are taking place perhaps five or six so far. a winston professor and others have lined up and confronted the police, trying to make a point by being arrested. a very emotional day here. we pet people from california to fork who have come here to make a statement. as can you see, it's been going on now for several hours and again after a weekend of protests and resistance, they're here to really make a point that this has to stop. it's not about michael brown,
10:22 am
it's about other young men arrested or in some way abused by police, they say, here and across the country. an emotional day here in ferguson. >> ron. we have new son i want to play from michael brown, sr. take a listen to this. >> to be honest here, it's a whole lot on my back now. it's a situation where i'm not going to be able to heal on the inside. you know, i can get by day-by-day and you will probably think i'm doing okay and really not. but it's just something i have to work on to stay prayed up and be positive to people around the world and folks, people that feed pe to be strong with them. >> the father of michael brown there talking about never healing on the inside, thinking about and mourning his son
10:23 am
whatever that process is, the public activism side of this is about the town's healing, many would argue to have some justice done here. when you look auto at those protesters, how is the scene any different from what we saw weeks ago when the protests were larger but by 'accounts more unruly? >> weeks ago, there was violence, tear gas, there was vandalism. there was looting. there was destruction of property. it was very subpoena tainious. this weekend, it's been well organized. activists have been planning these events for several weeks. so things are more orderly, monitors are trying to control the crowd and control traffic. it's been peaceful. bradley rayford from the st. louis area, ferguson, if
10:24 am
particular, what have you been seeing out there? >> i seen people being more organized and looking more calmer, however the city is using a swat team. >> reporter: you were there at the university when there were arrests. protesters say it was a sit-in. police say they were tryinging as to storm this convenience store what is happening there? >> i think it's a sit-n. i think they want the people to see how the cops react to them sitting down. no rocks were returned from our perspective t. cops came in with the swat team and started arresting people. >> if you look over here at what is going on over here, there is a huge crowd. they're not going anywhere. there are probably several hundred people who are there. they were trying to make a point. you were saying this is beyond michael brown trayvon martin, so many others, people are trying
10:25 am
to say this is a place where they want to see a change in how police act in neighborhoods, minority neighborhoods, in particular again, bradley, what are you feeling about all this? you live here, do you see a change happening in this community now as a result of all this? >> i see a clang in the people that are focused to be more organized. before it was this group here this group here, doing different things. i think it will be more organized to get what they want to get done. >> reporter: i don't think officer dan wilson will be indicted. is that your feeling, too? >> i don't want to speculate. but they are talking, preparing for riots and everything. i think they know they are preparing. that's what my greatest fears, if whatever happens, people
10:26 am
don't accept that and the city is in turmoil. >> so the protests continue here. back to you. >> thank you for your reporting and thank you bradley rayford, he was taking video there. i want to turn to the march of isis in iraq. the group's fighters are getting closer to baghdad. that is according to officials. he says isis is within 15 miles of the iraqi capital and baghdad is not in imminent danger, but this does mean isis can fire directly into the city. meanwhile, turkish officials are suggesting they have not reached an agreement with the united states for using their basis, air basis, for attacks with isis. u.s. officials had said they expected to use those bases. that was as recently as yesterday. and the superintendent of the new jersey high school that has been dealing with alleged sex crimes says he doesn't know
10:27 am
whether this school will restart that suspended athletic program. sayreville was cancelled after bombshell allegations of players attacking and sodomizeing other players on the team. now, prosecutors have charged seven people there, seven students with sex crimes that including a gra rate issed sexual assault that. can carry up to 20 years in the adult system and quote an act of sex wal penetration. they cover four incidents, which defenders have characterized as hazing. hundreds in the community held their vigil and rally last night near the school. just ahead, we go live from the white house where the president will be receiving a briefing on that deadly virus ebola. that's this afternoon. we are answering your questions on ebola, fact vs. fiction. we have a doctor live in the studio as well.
10:28 am
10:29 am
10:30 am
10:31 am
. >> sure, it's possible that others will come in contact with ebola, but it doesn't mean that we should stop going, stop praying, stop giving. >> that was ebola survive dr. nancy writebol just an hour ago talking topy colleague andrea mitchell. we are here in dallas live, of course, this is now the location of the very first person-to-person transmission o ebola on u.s. soil. we just learned the president is about to be briefed on his staff by the ebola situation and the nation's response to it. >> that should happen at 3:00 p.m. what we know so far is that the president called for a thorough transmission you this occurred.
10:32 am
for the latest on the white house response. i am joined by chris jansing. she is following this story. tell us, what are you hearing from white house officials at this point? >> reporter: this will be the second update the president is giving if 24 hours. he was on the phone yesterday with health and human service secretary and the administration's counterterrorism severt coordinating the response but this latest case confirmed there, obviously raising the level of concern, look what the wlus will tell you this is a toll government response. that i have cdc, health and human services and the department of defense working on the front in liberia and west africa to try to put these clinics together to try to contain the spread of ebola. it's opened up the administration to criticism. who is in charge who is making sure the protocols are followed? who is the point person for this
10:33 am
response? they would tell you it is lisa monica. there is pushback. it's become a campaign issue. we heard john mccain and others saying with efeed some sort of czar. what we don't have is a surgeon general. it will be interesting to see whether this renews the call for a confirmation of a surgeon general. we will keep you updated on the day on this 3:00 readout from it. >> whether there needs to be an additional bureaucratic rule created. a lot of consensus about that in washington. i always appreciate your call on this story for us. >> thanks, ronan. >> so this is echoing around the country. particularly in air travel around the country. a scare last night when concerns over a passenger might have ebola. what we are hearing that was not, in fact, a case of ebola you see how tense things are in
10:34 am
air travel. also news that screenings have begun at jfk, the first of a program instituted at several major airports around the countries. that should address 150 or so travelers a day. kristen, you have been at jfk all weekend. what is the tone? are people concerned? is this adding to wait times? >> reporter: of course, you know, this is an anxious time in air travel. but this new screening has eased some people's scares. the cdc has been transparent in this. it is one layer. so we now have people leaving west africa london heathrow will institute zrooen screening beginning tomorrow. at jfk we now have screening by the end of this week, the cdc says 4% of air travelers from
10:35 am
west africa will be screened as they come into this country. what that means, they are pulled aside and asked questions about where they have been. whether or not they came in contact with anyone with ebola. tear temperatures are taken. they would be isolated, investigated further and possibly quarantined. that hasn't happened to anyone yet. it's important to note if they don't show any signs, remember, they have a 21-day quarantine period, incubation period. people are given information and told to self upon tore. that could be one of the key parts in stopping the spread of this. >> reporter: nbc's kristen dolgren following us this at jfk. thank you so much. stay with us. we have international movement on isis. why is backed sweating more than ever right now and is the u.s. doing enough in response with it? that's up next. don't go away, everybody.

10:39 am
. >> welcome back, everybody, i'm here live in dallas, texas. the site of a few case of ebola. we will have much more on that coming up. first, fast moving developments internationally as well and troubling fuse about the fight against isis. three major developments on that front. first of all, reports that isis forces are advancing and precariously close to baghdad. they're now eight miles from baghdad airport. we are hearing fighting is intensifying in kobani, a significantly different border town between syria and turkey. 40% of that city now is under isis control. finally, turkish officials are telling a.p. today there is no new agreement with the u.s. to use turkish airbases. that contradicts what we have been hearing from u.s. officials and could be a sophisticate
10:40 am
development in this offensive and our air capacity within this offensive. nbc's jim miklazewski is following all of this at the pentagon. jim, first offal, i'd love to get the latest on this agreement or lack thereof with turkey. what are you hearing? >> well, it sounds as if u.s. defense officials got out ahead of the announcement when dod officials said turk just agreed to let them use three of the turkish airports to launch airstrikes against isis starths if syria and/or iraq. turkish officials came back and said, we said for the such thing so it sounds like again dod got out ahead of what pay be an official announcement. so there is still a little confusion and perhaps more waiting for. i know you will be following that, jim. tell me about the latest advance on baghdad. is the u.s. planning any change
10:41 am
in attack if response to that? >> at this time, u.s. military are confident isis doesn't have the numbers or capabilities really to take on baghdad. they are launching suicide bombings, 50 killed over the weekend. they always have the ability to launch mortars inside the city of baghdad. i want to go to what you mentioned a few minutes ago about the airport. isis forces poised just 8 piles from the airport, forcing the u.s. military to take the unusual step of using apache helicopter, not fighter jets that fly well above the enemy, but apache hocks to attack those isis forces coming too close for comfort to the airport. i would add here that the airport scene, if attacked by isis, would offer probably the first insurance e instance where u.s. military forces could engage with the isis forces, there is a quick reaction for us there at the airport, ready to respond to defend that airport,
10:42 am
with i is critical to u.s. military operations against any attack on isis. tail make every effort from the air to keep isis from getting fear the airport. but that's bicker concern than backed itself, the u.s. military officials. >> thank you for that update on troubling developments on the ground. >> of course, other troubling isis fuse making the rounds today. a new online public cakes released by the group justifying their atros sis against women, including sexual slavery. that's in the online english public indication. it site cites sharyia law as the foundation. they say in is a good and intended part of isis' tactics. i am joined by anne marie slaught, a former state department official, as head of policy planning under hillary clinton. it's so good to have you on the program. >> roman, it's a real pleasure.
10:43 am
>> first of all, give me your reaction to this isis publication, what more can be done to help women under their rule? >> well, it strikes me their propaganda will go terribly awry. no muslims will recognize sexual slavery as being a part of the karan. they're announcing another version of the taliban and everyone remembers what happens to women under the taliban. so it will just stiffen a resistance against them in the region and in nato countries. >> you have been an outspoken critic of this dministration at times, particular with the protection of women, down that's flacked since hillary clinton left that position at the state department or are we still strong if you have on that facet of this? >> oh, i mean, i'm not sure there's much we can be doing
10:44 am
specifically with respect to women here. what we should be doing. what i have been speaking out for years what the turks have been calling for is a buffer zone on the turkish border on the turkish syrian border where we can protect if you have certains so that we could ten actually start making a difference in the syrian civil war, which, if turn, would strengthen our position against isis. this is all very tangled up. we are focusing on iraq and isis attacks if iraq. isis got its start if syria. if we defeat them in iraq, they're going to go back to syria. >> doctor, i want to get more of your take on that buffer zone. this is secretary kerry just last week on that subject. >> the buffer zone is an idea that's been out there. it's worth examining. it's worth looking at very, very closely. >> my question, doctor, is it to
10:45 am
the too late for a buffer zone? it seems like the situation is so desire on the ground, it's not clear who would be protected in the midst of a chaos? >> there are still hundreds of thousands of civilians, kurds, syrian kurds, syrian sunni muslims who are still threatened by isis and threatened by the syrian government. it's still using barrel bombs on civilians, still attacking civilians. part of what's happening as to why the turkish government will not go into kobani and save kobani from isis, is they're insists going as they have, that the united states participate in creating such a buffer zone. it's late. it's still very important. >> you were an ad advocate of much earlier intervention in syria to combat the assad regime, do you think if there had been such an intervention, we wouldn't be seeing the current crisis play out?
10:46 am
>> well, when you look at the crisis that we are seeing, nobody wants to play i told you so. i think a lot of this was foreseeable and was, fact, foreseen. what you could see is that if you did not help the moderate syrian opposition the extremes would take over, in fact, that's what happened. many moderates said we're not getting weapons first from al nuzra and isil. so the moderates went over to the extremes or were wiped out. yes, we could have done more, we did see this coming. now that we're in, we have to stay in and we have to stay in with respect to pushing back against the syrian government as well as isil. >> you advocated early on, i was speaking on background to a prominent military leader who said there is no way to
10:47 am
eliminate the risks that those will turn against u.s. interests. you can only mitigate. what do you say to that? should we be leery of arming the free syrian army resistance? >> i would say these have all been bad choices and they have been for almost three years. this started in march, 2011 and by october, 2011, that's when turkey first called for a buffer zone. so, absolutely. we are already, u.s. arms are being used against us, already, u.s. arms that we gave to the iraqis have fall him to isil. so no question, when you are putting arms into an area, you can taking that risk. the alternative is doing nothing and doing nothing or very little has gotten us to where we are now. >> doctor, you have us as been an outspoken voice. thank you for your insights. thank you for taking the time. >> it's a pleasure.
10:48 am
>> up next, don't go away, everybody. we are back to the live developing story in dallas. we will be joined by a doctor to separate the facts from the fiction. your questions will be answered right after the break. don't go away. creates something else as well: jobs all over america. .
10:49 am
10:50 am
10:51 am
welcome back to the program, everybody. developments just now in protests in ferguson. those protests getting larger and larger. this news just in. cornel west, author and activist, arrested just moments ago. we have a picture from twitter. i think we can show it right here. we'll be keeping you updated on any developments out of those protests. i'm here in dallas covering this ebola case. obviously the very first transmission on u.s. soil. a lot of questions swirling around that transmission. have you been submitting your questions all day. i'm joined now by dr. nina radcliff, a practicing physician and medical reporter, to try to
10:52 am
separate some fact from fiction. nina, thank you so much. megan asked, why aren't we stopping travel from other countries? >> we could do that. but the concern at this time is we cannot get resources and personnel we need to get there and back. so, that might be on the table down the road. if it is, we have to ensure that those people can get back and forth in order to stop it at ground zero. >> doctor, liz asked this. do we have any past experience on limiting travel, not all travel? >> no. at this time we do not have that. right now the science does not support it. we need to keep screening when they don't have symptoms and signs. at this time if you do not have symptoms, you are not infectious. >> tim asked this, a question a lot of people have had.
10:53 am
>> that's exactly right. our nurses are our front line of health care for these patients. we need to make sure they feel prepared and we need to reassure them. they need to feel protected so they can give the best of care. many times we get so involved with taking care of patients we put ourselves at risk. that's why it's important to understand what happened here. we're not blaming anybody. we need to figure out what happened. if there is a weakness, we need to stop that weakness from happening so no one else gets this again. >> here's a question from chuck. is the cdc honestly keeping us apprised or trying to avert panic? what's your take? >> we do need to stay updated. i do believe they're doing a good job with the information. we can't run to the television every time we have a reporter, unconfirmed report. it has to be for a fact before they report this. it's important we keep calm.
10:54 am
we cannot afford to panic at this time because people don't think appropriately or make good decisions. we need to understand how this disease is transmitted. we need to be smart. we need to be aware. we need to be guarded. but we do not need to panic. >> and, nina, my own to you, from a medical standpoint, do you think the media has maintained the right tone here? it's obviously a challenge. we've been trying to be very cautious and measured while accurately reflecting the concern in the country. >> i think the opportunity we just did on twitter to be able to ask questions is very important. we do need to be aware. people are worried about it. they're ready to protest. we need to understand what it is. the media does need to give proper attention to this matter. >> thank you so much, doctor, for sorting out some of those uncertainties for us. a lot of questions continuing to swirl. we'll be covering every beat in this story. thank you at home for taking the time to join us. it's a pleasure to have this moment with you. up next, another incredible program, joy reid with "the reid
