7:02 am
about the delays and missed opportunities in this case. and ryan owens is on the case in dallas. good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. more on the family in a moment. but first the latest on the one and it's important to remember, only person in the united states right now sick with ebola. he's not hospital behind me in serious condition. meanwhile, that family, they are finally out of that cramped, contaminated apartment. they are the family at the center of the storm, feared by some, pitied by others. and this morning these four finally have a new home. one far from the hazmat suits that now occupy america's first residence contaminated with the deadly ebola virus. >> there's room to roam there. it's an area inside the city of dallas and away from other people. >> reporter: authorities will not say exactly where the family's new four-bedroom home is, only that it's donated, isolated and gated. the family spent several days in
7:03 am
this two-bedroom apartment with liberia national thomas eric duncan after he had ebola symptoms and was contagious. and after he was hospitalized, they were five days in close contact with his sheets, towels, all potentially contaminated. >> right now she is scared, okay. people are scared. >> reporter: duncan's girlfriend and family members are healthy, no symptoms. county leaders drove with them to the new house. >> i'm wearing the same shirt i was when i was in the car with that family. >> reporter: the family's old apartment looks like a nightmarish crime scene. caravans of hazmat teams, face shields, two layers of gloves, taped suits to nothing can seep in. they tarped and taped duncan's car. getting all of his belongings, and the mattress he sat on and
7:04 am
the couch he sat on. they will be cut apart and stored in barrels until they can be incinerated. >> we are anxious. but there is no fear in our eyes. we will be safe. we will get this done in the appropriate way. >> reporter: now that family of four just some of the people the cdc is keeping a very close eye on this morning in dallas. a total of ten people are considered at high risk. that's the paramedics in the ambulance that took duncan to the hospital. in addition, 40 people considered at low risk. still, people are keeping a an e on them. >> thank you for reporting from dallas this morning. and now to the efforts to fight ebola directly at its source. dr. richard besser is returning home from ground zero in liberia. and he joins us from brussel, belgium, to show the precautions being taken on his journey out of africa. >> reporter: the key to stopping ebola is making sure sick people
7:05 am
can't get on the plane. i started my journey home, and how good a job in liberia keeping the disease in the borders. arriving in brussel overnight, out of ebola-stricken liberia. there's no signs saying anything about ebola. on the plane, some attendants wearing masks and gloves. but by the time we landed, business as usual. we have been here a week, time to go home. the airport, now the front line of the battle to contain ebola, to keep it from spreading around the world. >> so much ebola in liberia. can you really keep it from leaving. driving in, guards check my temperature. fever is one of the first signs of ebola. and remember, you're not infectious unless you have stoms. fev fever, no -- nothing we did as journalist s us in the high-ris
7:06 am
cameraman. a cameraman diagnosed with ebola just days ago. his parents sitting down with abc news. >> he just spent six weeks filming the tragedies, people dying, waiting for care. his mind went there, he thought he's going to die. >> reporter: he will be flown to america tomorrow, headed to the same ten-bed isolation unit in nebraska that treated the doctor with ebola. >> i think their confidence level is boosted given the experience we had previously and recently. >> reporter: but for all the travelers on my plane. questions. have you been in close contact with someone with ebola. this is a good questionnaire, but only work it is people read it carefully and tell the truth. we know eric duncan did not reveal he had carried an ebola victim. another check point, a visual
7:07 am
inspection. my temperature taken a second time. lots of check points to make sure that people who are sick are not leaving the country. all clear. but so many lives depending on trust. and a thermometer. i'm halfway home now, but now i'm mixed in with all the other european travelers. when i arrive in america later today, no idea where i've been. that's one of the reasons why calls for closing the border just won't work, paula. >> dr. besser, phenomenal reporting. but a couple of questions. white house officials admitted that the reaction has been rocky in perception and reality. they remain confidentiality there's no outbreak. how can they be sure. >> reporter: depends on outbreak, may be more cases, people with direct contact with mr. duncan. but they have identified the contacts and won't be able to spread disease unless they're sick. by monitoring them, no outbreak beyond those people.
7:08 am
>> you showed us firsthand the lack of precautionary items in brussel. short of closing the borders and stoppi inping flights, how does u.s. protect itself from the spread of ebola. >> reporter: it's clear how to protect america. do everything we can to symptom disease in west africa so there's no more people boarding planes bringing it to our borders. but we have to be prepared. every hospital has to take this as a wakeup call. ask where they have travelled and act on the information. >> all right, just amazing reporting. and i feel like anywhere i go at this point, this is the concern of so many. and their concern is that the reaction and the criticism that they were too casual in their response to this. >> and questions about whether or not enough is being done on the ground in africa right now. wish rich safe travels. and move on to the other latest story of the morning. the latest atrocity of isis.

7:11 am
foley and sotloff. i met peter just days before he went back into syria. this is a particularly nasty and dangerous time. t he spoke so passionately about helping the syrians caught up in the war, this was something he saw as a personal missi mission. >> he understood the risk. >> yes. >> we are thinking about him. and over to mr. ron claiborne. >> good morning, mr. dan harris, good morning, everyone. the huge cyber attack targeting jpmorgan chase may be bigger thatten previously thought. compromising the identities of 83 million house holds and businesses. the hackers, believed to be operating out of russia may have targeted nine more financial institutions. the names of those firms not yet released. and harvard is on high alert after chilling threats targeting

7:13 am
we saw the protesters firmly held their ground and now even more entrenched. they will not leave until beijing gives them the right to elect their own leaders. and the sense of the mood, that orange sign says do you hear the people sing? it's that famous song from lei miss, but they are claiming it as their own. >> reporting from hong kong. and a fire at the united flight 93 memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania, destroyed three buildings. they lost the 9/11 flag that flew over the capitol on september 11, 2001. no one was injured. and caught on camera. this u.p.s. worker tossing dozens of packages, they were supposed to be handled with care. like that. this incident was revealed as part of a 12-month investigation

7:16 am
leave. and that he tried to arrest her. leading to the dramatic screen. charging grandma with resisting arrest. >> tasers are not used unless you have someone so disruptive that you cannot control them. >> reporter: the video launching the debate over if officers are using the tasers too quickly. unbelievable video. three other people arrested that afternoon also face resisting arrest charges. none were arrested for drugs. that's the whole reason police went out there in the first place. >> you said she broke her wrist? >> yes. >> disturbing images. thank you. >> could have been worse. she was walking away at the time. >> that's right. all right, thank you. this morning, new clues and optimism in the massive manhunt for a cop killer believed to be hiding out in the woods in pennsylvania. they have found one of eric frein's camp sites, and they predict he will surface when he
