after a russian tennis official defeigns the williams sisters with disparaging remarks. >> in this day and age, it's unacceptable to make such insensitive remarks. >> i'm andrea mitchell in washington. those who had contact with thomas eric duncan emerged from quarantine. >> she continues to mourn the loss of not only her beloved fiance, but all of her possessions and being displaced and those sorts of things. also sympathy for those who contracted ebola, but today is a

good day. >> elsewhere, the pentagon is assembling a team to deploy where health workers may deal with future cases. carnival cruise line said the lab worker who handled duncan's specimens has tested negative for ebola. she voluntarily quarantined herself and disembarked in galveston, texas. live from dallas with the latest. thanks to you. tell us what is happening at that hospital because we have new cdc guidelines. are they changing what workers are doing in dallas presbyterian? >> we are told they will be using these guidelines. you do get the sense and i think if you saw the news conference that was conducted by the mayor of dallas that we really

aretoning the corner with regards to the crisis. here in dallas and if not the country. 43 people off that 21-day list. 43 are off the list and we are told an official person will be taken off the list today and four other people in 36 to 48 hours. within the next two days, 48 people will be off the list and a handful of being monitored. by and large, health officials here in dallas are pleased with where they are. you mentioned that carnival cruiseship in galveston. the health care worker from the hospital here who was aboard, there was a school in oklahoma where students and teachers were not allowed to attend because

they were on the same ship as that health care worker. it was done out of an abundance of caution. they are turning a corner over the next few days. is dallas really out of the woods. chair of the department of medical ethics and policy at the department at pennsylvania. dr. zeke, thanks for being with us. a couple of points. this business of an abundance of caution. children were on a cruise with a woman who tested negative over the weekend and had self quarantined. that does spread fear. >> this is not the abundance of caution, but panic and

irrational behavior. we do need to put this into perspective. we had more than 40 people who tested negative, including people with very close contact to mr. duncan. two nurses contracted ebola and are isolated and doing moderately well as far as we know. this is not so easily transmissible and we need to put the whole thing into perspective. i would say the other bright light is the nigeria example where someone was sick on a flight and landed in nigeria and quickly identified this and 19 people contracted the disease. they were able to extinguish it in nigeria declared over the weekend. with a good system, this is readily controlled and we can reduce that with the education being provided by the cdc.

we are going to put this thing in a box. i hope that the public's hysteria fed by politicians and a little bit too much coverage of this. it really is i think something that we should be a little cooler and levelheaded about. >> is the fact that a pentagon 30-person unit is being sent to texas later this week, is that excessive? is that unnecessary now and does that feed the sense of crisis? >> well. >> i'm confused by it and why we need the pent gon to do it. we have competent people in the federal government at the nih and other facilities. i do think that may look like it's actually a little bit of overkill. i do think getting the dallas

health presbyterian under control and reassuring people that that institution is functioning well probably can help. the real issue at the moment i think that two nurses at the nih and making sure that they get the supportive care and survive this is probably where our thoughts and attention ought to be focused. they are the only two people we know in the country who have the disease and we really want to save their lives. >> where do you come down on whether budget cuts slowed the progress towards a vaccine or slowed the progress towards dealing with ebola in general? >> there is no doubt that the national institutes of health budget remained flat. it had a bounce during the recovery act that was present

and prior to leaving the nih before 2008, there was a lot of promise and talk. i had that discussion with the head of the vaccine research center about the ethics of testing the vaccine and how we go about that in the trial the right way. in 2008, they were on the verge in detail thinking about how to conduct the trials. you have got to ask yourself what else between now and then except the lack of a major outbreak led to the slowness and funding is clearly one major issue going forward. >> doctor, thank you so much for joining us from philadelphia. the world health organization as zeke mentioned declared nigeria ebola-free with 42 days without a new case. a success story that is much needed. what about liberia, a hot zone that reports more than 2,000 deaths and what do they need to

do to get ebola under control? pentagon correspondent for the "new york times" with an abundance of caution after returning for liberia. first of all, thank you very much for being with us. you recently were in liberia and saw the pressure on the infrastructure there. is there a way that liberia can turn the corner and having it come into the urban areas. is ebola out of control? >> i think liberia can turn the corner. they came to grips with what they are dealing with in liberia and a lot more education now and signs all over the streets about how to take care of yourself. they are putting the washes in front of government buildings and they seem to be a lot more educated about how to combat this.

when you add that to the fact that the american military has come into bill 17 and additional treatment units, i feel a little bit more optimistic. liberia has not by any stretch of the imagination turned the corner yet, but people are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. >> lori on "meet the press" was saying we will see 100,000 cases in west africa. this thing is growing exponentially. in the region, this is becoming an economic disaster? a region that was approaching the africa summit in august. it was approaching a turning point. >> i think there is no question that economically, ebola has hit liberia, sierra leon and guinea very, very hard. three countries that are coming out of civil war and starting to

rebuild. liberia is my own birth place. to get hit by something like this is huge. so many businesses have pulled out and investment has come out. people fled when the ebola cases started to rise. that has been a huge problem and this is a country in liberia, a third world country, most have been living on $1.25 a day. they department have much to begin with. when you see the flight of capital and resources, that's a big deal. >> thanks so much for your personal perspective. we appreciate it. investigators are hoping to identify human remains found outside charlesville, virginia on saturday. this grim discovery made five weeks after the disappearance of

18-year-old hannah graham. jesse matthew is charged with abducting graham. the remains were near an area where he once lived. he is held without bail and yet to enter a plea. they were discovered five miles from where the body of another missing college student was uncovered three months after her 2009 disappearance. virginia state police are investigating a forensic link between the harrington case and jesse matthew. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. . i lost my sight in afghanistan, but it doesn't hold me back. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70% of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.

the president will spend most of the day there before attending an event later and heading back to washington. four weeks after the u.s. first started the bombing campaign, planes flew a different mission. dropping weapons and medical supplies to the militants battling i 'tis in northern syria. the national security adviser, why the decision to drop this material to help the kurds? >> what we have seen the last several days and weeks is isil dedicated a lot of fighting to that area. they have taken more air strikes than in any other part of this campaign and we have been able to degrade them and hit the forces and the artillery and weapons, but we want to provide support on the ground. they were in dangerous need and

kurdish authorities were willing to step up and we flew a mission to provide them with badly needed arms and medical supplies and food to continue to fight against isil. >> what happened to the official pronouncements that kobani was not of importance? it's so close and visual and victory there would have been a big propaganda victory for isil or isis. >> it's certainly the case and not the type of importance. what we saw is it's important to isil. they are the ones who decided to surge their finite resources to kobani. when we see the fighters moving, we will take action and we are able to degrade their resources by hitting them there. one is the humanitarian concern and we want to prevent the massacre of people and we have a real opportunity here to hit isil.

they presented the targets and we want to help people fighting them on the ground. >> speaking of baghdad and the iraq side of the border if there is a border that is identifiable now between syria and iraq, the forces have not stepped up to the extent that they can be a rely fighting force. they are not under threat falling to isis. it sounds a lot more like worrying about baghdad than some people might expect. >> first of all, i don't think baghdad is at risk of falling in any way, shape, or form. the risk is where isil seeks to hold territory that is gained. there was a threat where they are able to launch the terrorist

attacks. weeks if not months. the fact is that we have the team on the ground that is working with the security forces to get them back into the fight. we have taken air strikes to blunt the momentum and over the weekend, they named a new minster of governs. that is going to enable us to cooperate better and the iraqi security forces as we helped to get them organized and get them back into the fight. >> let me spich to ebola. that's another issue that you have been having meetings on. does it become a political imperative with kay hang in and others in key races switching position, if you will. endorsing the travel ban which is very popular. >> what the mesh people want is for the government to do when is going to work.

there is no ideology. the president wants solutions that will work and protecting the american people and also containing the spread in west africa. the judgment of the professionals is if you have a travel ban in place, it drives people and instead of traveling through protocols that allows us to screen, they evade detection and the fact is what we focus on is screening. if people are trying to travel into the united states, how can we screen them to make sure they are not posing a risk. a travel ban could endanger people more by driving them underground and having them seek ways to find ways into the united states that are outside the protocols. >> do you think you turned the corner in dallas? >> we are concerned about anywhere where we have seen cases of ebola. there is contact tracing being done with individuals who came

into contact with the patience who was focused as well. the fact is what we have been able to do is dedicate an amount of resources to make sure that those two nurses are getting the care that they need and thus far they have shown improvement and they can identify all those people that they trace for those who are infected with ebola. we had good results that those people have not been infected with ebola. there is additional people that we are monitoring and we want to make sure if we see ebola present itself, we have the necessary protocols in place to contain the spread and protect the american people from the disease. >> two quick questions. is there any excuse for the cdc not having protocols that included the proper use of protective gear covering all parts of the skin? that's one.

when is ron going to get there? we told him he was appointed. they haven't been at the crisis meetings. >> the cdc has protocols in place with the local hospitals. they were making sure if we see a case propertied in the u.s. >> they were not up to snuff. >> we are conitantly looking at an abundance of caution. how we can be vigilant to make sure there is no margin for error and if a case presents itself, they can support a hospital. we will always look at how to get better at making sure we contain this spread. the american people should have confidence that we are on top of this. the president has been meeting with the national security team as well as the leadership in these issues. i saw him here over the weekend.

he was getting briefed and he brings extraordinary experience and he will be able to support those medical and national security professionals focused on the threat. >> ben, thank you very much. >> and up next, the col ticks and how it impacts the mid-term elections. stay with us only on msnbc.

how we should secure the border. i will be granting amnesty. >> oh, you don't have to worry about this and you don't have to worry about this. really? the government needs to stop acting as if it's absurd. >> every outbreak novel or zombie novel starts in front of a panel like this who said there is nothing to worry about. >> msnbc editor and "new york times" national correspondent, welcome to you both. a little bit of alarmism out there. people are -- let's get scared of ebola. >> andrea, look. this is a maternal action. getting people out to vote is the key. that's the key to voting. what motivates people.

we like to think it's policies, but fear and anxiety are very powerful emotions and things that do tend to get people to act in one way, shape, or form. that's what you see in north carolina. tom tillis talking a lot about we need a travel ban and the incumbent democrat is now. she wasn't. fear. tying it to president obama. the idea this that this administration may not be competent. that's what they are trying to drop ebola into a lesser play that plays into that narrative. >> in fact, let's look at tom tillis in the debate in north carolina focusing on ebola. >> until the c about d.c. can convince me that anyone rep tents the safety to the country, they have to prevent them from

traveling. >> that race beginning to show signs of weakness on the democratic side since the ebola controversy and the fear of e bowl. >> you have kay hang in in north carolina as well as senator pryor in arkansas. they have all come out for the travel ban. a couple of them after staying away from it. they have unanimous opinion and i haven't found anyone who knows a travel ban is a good idea or anything but counterproductive. it could make things worse. it's election season and like chris said, people told me that fear is the number one motivator

when it comes to getting people out in the elections and we are seeing fear mongering now. >> jackie and chris, thank you both so much. history was made in denver last night. just before halftime in the broncos versus 49ers, peyton manning threw a touchdown passing brett favre to become the leader in touchdown passes. >> i always have been a fan of quarterbacks. whether it's brett favre or john elway. i am honored and humbled to join a pretty unique club. >> he reaches his milestone in his 246th game. no achievement is complete without the seizing from the teammates. they played a game of keep away with the champ and the history making ball. all in fun. you are watching msnbc. are we still on for tomorrow? tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow.

today apple rolled out the service called apple pay. the new technology introduced by tim cook allows you to store credit card information on some devices and pay with the touch of an app. apple's cofounder steve jobs were some of the technological trailblazers. how a group of hackers, geniuses and geeks created the digital revolution. congratulations on this. >> good to be back with you. >> you tackled the question of innovation and what it means. you look at people who have been overlooked in the past. it's such a buzzword. i wanted to look at real innovations that happened like

the transition to microcrip and who did it and how and what did it take to be an innovator. >> one of the things that is so unusual is you come up with lord byron's daughter and this innovator on computer science and mathematic who none of us thought of. >> she is lord byron's daughter so she has a feel for poetry. her mother was a mathematician who wasn't like oerd lord byron. having tutored mainly in math and developed a love for boat cal science. she can look at punch cards that were instructing the looms in england. she wrote something about how the punch cards have been working on a calculating machine for numbers being built and how it can do more than just

numbers. it can do art and music and words. the concept of a general computer pop up. >> how many decades did it take? >> the late 1830s and it's exactly 100 years later that people like this create a computer that break the german code. your alma mater and university of pennsylvania. they do missile trajectories and they learn thou reprogram it. i think they are actually the first general purpose reprogrammable electronic computer. that's exactly 100 years after. >> in 1945 when they have women doing the programming which was less important than the hardware, the women are coming up with innovations and they are not even invited to the celebration. >> women have been unfairly minimized with their role in history.

you had six great women ph.d.s in math and they reprogrammed them to be able to do everything. when they show it off in the great unveiling it becomes a big story in the newspapers and then there is a celebration at houston and black tie and the women are not invited and they take the bus back to the apartments. >> women in silicon valley and the tech world today. there was a ceo comment about equal pay and women. let me play that for you. are. >> we pay equally at the same level. the real issue is do we have enough people of different ethnicity and are we promoting them as vigorously as we are. they think we have to go actively work, but to your

point, of course the expectation of anyone should be that we should go to work on this and have principals guided. the two principals that i want to stay grounded on is equal opportunity for equal work. we will make progress on that. there are comments about how women should not push and be demanding of equal pay. >> they walked back a little bit and you should demand a raise. he has been very good. but one of the things that microsoft and google and facebook need to do and they are head leading the way, you useded to have in 1980 and 30% of computer science majors were women. it's falling to about 18%. we have to get role models for women and emergencying and we have to have the tech companies value diversity in all of their

forms. >> you became interested because of your daughter's work at harvard? >> she was writing admissions and saying when are you going to get it done? she was keeping us at arm's length. she said i sent it in. that turned me on to both. people like grace hopper and probably didn't get enough credit either, but now there is a grace hopper day at harvard that brings women back into the view that yes, i can be an engineer too and do computer science. >> it's such a treat. and the book is the innovators. serena williams is firing back at offensive comments made by the head of the russian tennis federation. the official appearing on a russian talk show referred to serena and venus as the williams brothers. he went on to say it's scary when you look at them.

serena responded in a news conference at the tennis association tournament in singapore. >> i thought his comments were insensitive and i thought they were extremely sexist and racist at the same time and i thought they were in a way bullying. at this day and age in 2014, someone with his power, it's unacceptable to make such insensitive bullying remarks. >> sharipova her close friend russian joined her in the criticism. the head of the russian tennis federation has been suspended and fined $25,000 by the world tennis association and issued a letter of apology. an important message for americans eligible

in three senate races that can determine who controls the senate. casey hunt and political editor and nbc news political editor mark murray. first to you, casey. let's talk about what's happening in colorado. mark udahl running into more trouble than anyone expected. the new polls show gardner creeping up on him. the gender gap is nowhere near where it needs to be for him to pull this out. that has been the singular strategy all the way along. he is focused on personhood and tried to cast cory gardner as out of touch with colorado women. they are not buying it. he is am can be across as a likeable guy. >> speaking of women, there is a woman running in georgia. we have been talking about this race. this race is a lot closer than a lot of people predicted. georgia is such a red state.

>> two months ago we were not talking about this race as much as others. because some have been showing michelle leading within the margin of error and having an edge, they are pouring into it. the dfcc is pouring money there. this is a race where if neither gets to 50%, this will go to a run off in january. there is a candidate pulling in about 2% or 3%. michelle nun has been getting traction on attacking david on outsourcing. this could really go down to the wire. >> and the moment sum in her favor and the theory is if it does go to a run off, they may not be able to stand the scrutiny. >> you will see money if this goes to skbrn it's in the balance. you would see outside money and so many outside resources and so much attention paid to the race.

>> let's talk about what's happening in north carolina. >> north carolina, that is the race in which democrats have to be able to win. kay hang in is shown with a two to three-point advantage. that's not clear for the republicans who think they might have the wave election and iowa is my favorite race on election night. >> starting with the first commercials. >> absolutely. we are going to be held together on election night and 1:00, 2:00 or 3:00 in the night. i think who ends up winning the contest will get the best clue or syndication on who controls the senate. we have the run offs. >> if warren was there and michelle obama is returning there for bruce braley, the congressman who had faltered early on in his campaign. >> absolutely. he was the person who didn't

have the primary and he was able to raise money for the general election and hits from republicans and stumbles that he had gave an opening to joanie right now. democrats are hoping their game that has been formidable and able to push him across the finish line. if you asked democrats that iowa will be a close race that they were up one or two points, that's a bad situation. >> we beginning to see a bit of a wave and waves coming up against the shore there some. >> it's hard to say. what is clear is republicans have the enthusiasm advantage. the other numbers that we have seen showed this doesn't look like a 2010 electorate, but one thing worth noting when you have a wave, all the close races that you thought were 50-50. that's one of the worries for democrats. that would concern kay hang in. it seems like she is ahead.

everything goes in one direction. >> in colorado and that might be another. >> michelle obama going to colorado. barack obama the president is not welcome in most of these states because they think he is a negative. the first lady is still. >> they need to get out the base voters without bringing out the president. that's the line they have been trying to walk. michelle obama fires up the people that democrats need to show up. she is not her husband. >> indeed. the team in place. there is royal baby news to report. prince william and duchess catherine's child is due in april. april is the month. the due date has just been released. she is suffering for extreme morning sickness, but steadilyiment proving. she is supposed to make her

they include weapons, ammunition, medical supplies and the press secretary told "morning joe" that he believes these were successful drops. >> what we had is the bubd e8s made it to the hands we wanted to make it to. the vast majority did. they were trying to shore up the ability to defend the town. >> the supplier drops a mask escalation to beat back isis around kobani. there were air strikes around that town in the last 48 hours. we are keeping track of that. this past hour, president obama added his name to the americans who are voting early. 15 days before, he cast his mid-term ballot in chicago. early in person vieting began in illinois, six other states and the district of columbia. 35 states total will allow early voting by the end of the month. get to the polls,
