good morning, america. breaking right now, the chilling video. isis showing the beheading of a man it says is american hostage peter kassig despite pleas from his family to spare the aid worker's life. the message that executioner jihadi john has for the u.s. and reaction from government officials coming in this morning. condition, critical. a doctor who contracted ebola in west africa too sick to walk off the plane as he lands in nebraska for treatment. we're hearing from his family this morning, and we're getting an urgent update from his doctors. can he be saved? one-two punch. it's spinout central as another round of dangerous cold weather is ready to slam much of the country with snow all the way from colorado to new york.
8:01 am
rob marciano tracking it all. and no joke. ♪ daddy's great >> the beloved comic bill cosby under fire as rape allegations resurface. >> i will not sit in silence any longer. >> one woman going public saying she was sexually assaulted by the star years ago. what the comedian just did when he was asked about it on the radio. and good morning. we want to get straight to the breaking news this morning. the apparent beheading of a young american by isis. his name is peter kassig. >> he is a 26-year-old former army ranger from indiana, attended butler university. he was captured in syria while doing charity work. this latest isis execution video was released just hours before we came on the air, and if it is authenticated, kassig will be the third american to be
8:02 am
murdered by isis. >> kassig's parents made several emotional pleas for mercy on behalf of their son but apparently to no avail. as we said, this is a developing story and abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with the very latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. u.s. officials at this hour say the intelligence community is working this morning to awe awe trent indicate the video but the gruesome images posted by isis leave little doubt about what happened. kassig, who served in the u.s. army in iraq, went to syria as an aid worker profiled in this medical clinic by cnn. >> we each get one life and that's it. you get one shot at this. >> reporter: during captivity kassig converted to islam and changed his name from peter to abdul-rahman. from their indiana home his parent, paula and ed kassig, launched a campaign lead pleading for their son to be set free. >> we implore those who are holding you to show mercy and use their power to let you go. >> reporter: islamic groups around the world joined in, and
8:03 am
even al qaeda called for the release of kassig but there was no mercy and this morning's video posted on a known isis site featured the purported executioner claiming to be in the syrian city of dabiq with what appears to be kassig's several severed head at his feet he says "we are burying the first american crusader in dabiq, eagering awaiting for the remainder of your armies to arrive." if confirmed, kassig would be the third american to be murdered by isis since august. in a letter smuggled out by a fellow prisoner kassig wrote this to his parents, "if i do die, i figure that at least you and i can seek refuge and comfort in knowing that i went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need." kassig's parents only learned of the video in the last few hours and told us this morning they are awaiting government confirmation before they say anything. the white house says if confirmed, "we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent american." >> i mean it's horrible especially for the parents and he's such an inspirational young guy. let me ask you, though, about the videotape.
8:04 am
this tape appears to be different in some key ways than the ones we've seen before. >> that's right. in this case, kassig unlike the other hostages does not speak, apparently refusing to go along with the scripted denunciations that the other hostages were forced to make. also, they do not present a second or a third or a fourth target they intend to kill. we do know there's one more american who is being held, a young woman who is also being held by isis. >> someone else for us to worry about. brian, thank you. for more let's bring in abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" out of washington later this morning. martha, i think a lot of americans when they hear this news they'll be asking, you know, we've been bombing isis for months now. why can't we stop these murders? >> well, i think one reason is because these hostages were taken before, before the u.s. started these air strikes. and you really can't do this with just air strikes. the intelligence in both iraq and syria is very weak because we do not have people on the
8:05 am
ground, and you can gather only so much intelligence from the air. you can only do so much with air strikes, so it's very, very key that we don't have intelligence. that's why you see this british hostage-taker in these videos without anybody able to find him. >> they've been very good at hiding their prisoners, unfortunately. let me ask you also what is the state of play in our offensive against isis? there was more talk this week from the military brass about possibly using american ground troops. is that a real possibility? >> well, i think what they're talking about, and this is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, he said it to us before, as well, is getting forward air controllers, getting people on the ground, u.s. air controllers to help bring in those air strikes to target them more specifically, to make sure they're not hitting innocent civilians and to really get eyes on the ground, but really, dan, there are boots on the ground. there are people already training. there are people in western iraq. we had u.s. forces there looking
8:06 am
at an air base to see if we could go in and out of there. so this is expanding in many ways. you will not see any sort of invasion. the president says that will not happen. but i think you're going to see a creeping number of ground forces or at least some sort of air controller in the coming months. >> and tapes like the one we're seeing this morning only galvanize this discussion. martha raddatz, thank you very much. always great to have your expertise. and a reminder, martha is going to be much more on this developing story coming up later this morning on "this week" and that is right here on abc. paula. now to the latest ebola patient arriving in america for treatment from west africa. he is a surgeon with u.s. residency and believed to be sicker than anyone else who has been successfully treated here in the u.s. he's now at a special hospital in nebraska for people with that virus and abc's linzie janis is here with the story. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, paula. dr. martin salia's condition is described this morning as extremely critical.
8:07 am
he is expected to be joined by his family in nebraska where he has become the tenth person to be treated for ebola in the united states. emergency crews in full hazmat suits transferred dr. martin salia from a special medical equipped aircraft to this bubble enclosed stretcher called an isopod first lifting the surgeon onto a flatbed truck. once he arrives at omaha's nebraska medical center, the 44-year-old taken into the hospital still tightly sealed. no bold display of walking into the hospital as dr. kent brantly did when he began treatment for ebola after returning from africa. overnight, the hospital downgrading dr. salia's condition to extremely critical. even before receiving him, the facility, one in four in the country with specialized biocontainment units, described him as possibly sicker than the first patients successfully
8:08 am
treated in the united states. the reality, the risk of infection to those treating him skyrockets. overnight a spokesperson saying medical staff are rested and ready. speaking to abc news friday, dr. salia's son maada was hopeful. >> he's a very strong guy emotionally and physically he is strong and i have no doubt that he will come out victorious. >> reporter: dr. salia lives with his family in maryland but spends much of his time in his native sierra leone where he is chief medical officer at a united methodist hospital in freetown. his son says he knows exactly what he'll say to his dad when he sees him. >> dad, you are my hero, and you'll always be my hero. >> reporter: dr. salia's wife, a u.s. citizen, requested her husband's medical evacuation. agreeing to reimburse the u.s. government for the cost, believed to be around $215,000. overnight we spoke with a representative for the united
8:09 am
methodist church and she told us they were in the process of setting up a fund so they could collect donations to help cover dr. salia's medical costs. paula. >> thank you very much. abc's chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser is here with us this morning. first and foremost in regards to dr. salia's condition we saw from that video, he did not walk off the plane as we've seen from some of the other patients treated here. he is in extremely critical he is and what does that say to you? >> although eight of nine people who have been treated here have survived, ebola is a deadly disease. extremely critical means his vital signs are not stable. so, whether it's his breathing or his blood pressure, he's in a very, very difficult situation. >> we should stress he was not treating ebola patients there in sierra leone and the first time that he was tested for ebola, it came back negative so what does that say about the disease? >> yeah, i mean, in reality, those people who are not working in treatment units who are working in general hospitals are at greater risk because they're not wearing all that gear and they don't know whether a patient coming in in labor or someone with pneumonia actually
8:10 am
has ebola. and the fact that his test was negative early on, you'll see that because the level of virus in the blood can be very low and the early tests can be negative. >> everyone wants to know about containment. you've been to west africa twice, the epicenter of this crisis. so, how close are we to containment? >> there have been some reports that in liberia this situation is getting better, but the big concern is that there will be complacency and people will let off on what needs to be done to get this under control, sierra leone, it's raging out of control and liberia, they can't let up, they have to see the progress continue. >> they have to stay vigilant, dr. besser. thank you so much. dan. >> dr. besser, thank you. thank you, paula. we move on to another big story, a fresh round of plunging temperatures for much of america. check out the map. we're looking at a new arctic blast in the coming days and new dose of snow for a big swath of the country. let's get it over to meteorologist rob marciano. rob, great to have you back in the studio with us. >> good to be back, dan, but the cold air is still going to be
8:11 am
out there and we're going to see more scenes like this out of minneapolis, twin cities area, traffic being snarled with the snow that's been flying around. not a tremendous amount accumulating but because it's so cold it's not really melting off the runway so you got skid-outs and folks just sliding right off the highways and look for more as we go on through time. the next batch of cold is coming and with that a disturbance that will describe widespread snow across some areas will get five, 6 inches of snow in spots. mostly through new mexico and kansas you'll see 3 to 4 inches of snow. the rain/snow line will be in the allegheny region, and spots in ohio could see 5 or 6 inches of snow and then we kick in the lake-effect snow machines which will be going on for the next five days, as well. look behind the front, 1 degrees that's the current windchill in denver. we get the next day round that will drive to the gulf of mexico, by wednesday morning, new york city the northeast
8:12 am
getting a piece of this, as well. good morning to you. any day now the grand jury investigating the michael brown shooting will make their decision on whether to indict officer darren wilson. police claim wilson was attacked, forced to fire and this morning we have new evidence that you're about to see that is a key part of the investigation. this morning, the family of michael brown responding to this newly released evidence saying it seems to conflict with what police say transpired the day the unarmed teenager was shot to death by police officer darren wilson. >> did they exaggerate his
8:13 am
injuries to somehow try to justify killing this unarmed teenager in broad daylight? >> reporter: wilson claiming self-defense that he was attacked by brown. ferguson's police chief telling abc's steve osunsami there were visible injuries. >> his face was swollen, so he'd obviously been hit or punched or something like that. >> reporter: but brown's family say wilson appears to be unharmed here on these videos obtained by a "st. louis post-dispatch" showing wilson leaving the ferguson police department two hours after the shooting. >> the lack of injuries on the officer's face demonstrates that they exaggerated his injuries. >> report 21. >> 10-8 with a report. >> reporter: department officials declined to comment on the items released after an open records request which includes audio of wilson's radio traffic just before the shooting. the brown family's attorney says the recordings show no connection between officers searching for a robbery suspect. >> it's going to be a black male in a white t-shirt. he's running toward quiktrip.
8:14 am
>> reporter: and wilson first reported coming across brown and a friend. >> 21, put me on canfield with two. >> the initial inaction between the police officer and michael brown jr. had nothing to do with the incident at the convenience store. >> reporter: moments after that initial confrontation, something happened. wilson firing his weapon killing brown. >> get us several more units over here. there's going to be a problem. >> and we do want to mention those videos don't appear to any any injuries on officer wilson but also do not show his face clearly enough or close up. ferguson and cities around the u.s. are bracing for more protests pending the outcome of that grand jury investigation. all eyes on ferguson. >> so many open questions in the case and so much concern about what's going to happen next. tom, thank you. we are tracking some other stories including a developing story from texas, explosions overnight. for that we bring in ron claiborne. >> yeah, good morning to you, paul, dan. >> good morning, everyone. we begin in texas where federal investigators are on the scene of that deadly chemical leak in
8:15 am
suburban houston, which is devastated one family. abc's michelle franzen has the late details. >> reporter: this morning we're learning of four workers killed after a fatal chemical leak inside the dupont plant near houston. two of those workers who died were brothers. another victim, a supervisor who worked at the plant nearly 40 years. >> our thoughts and prayers really are with our families of the employees and with our employees. >> reporter: a leak at the plant had workers scrambling to fix a valve as it released methylmercaptin, a chemical used to make insecticides and took officials several hours to finally stop the leak. >> we will continue to cooperate with all the local authorities to make sure we investigate this fully and we will find the cause of at this point. we don't know why this happened. >> reporter: the u.s. chemical safety board team is also investigating. the board has investigated dupont facilities before, four times in just four years and two of those incidents fatal.
8:16 am
it is the latest in a series of dangerous and deadly incidents at texas plant facilities. this past week an explosion at an asphalt plant near houston injured two people, and last april one of the worst disasters in texas history, a massive blast at the adair grain owned texas fertilizer plant in west texas that killed 15 and devastated the community. for "good morning america," michelle franzen, abc news, new york. and turning now to president obama who is on his way back to washington this morning with the g-20 summit over. his focus now turns to immigration. before leaving australia, the president showed no signs of backing down from his vow to enact reform on immigration by executive order unless he said congress acts first. that action will reportedly shield 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation. and in addition to the serious talks at the g-20 the president and other leaders got in some cuddle time with this koala -- actually a couple of koalas. even the usually stoic russian president vladimir putin seemed -- we emphasize seem --
8:17 am
>> he's cracking. he's cracking. >> he seemed to be having fun. >> that looks superimposed to me. are we sure that's authentic? >> all right. moving on, take a look at this crash landing in connecticut. it happened saturday afternoon in the city of clinton. the single-engine plane slammed into some trees narrowly missing a home. remarkably, the pilot, who was the only one on board that aircraft managed to get out of the wreck. she suffered only minor injuries. investigators say the plane may have been running low on fuel. and a florida community is on edge this morning after a third sinkhole in the same neighborhood. the latest sinkhole in the town of holiday opened up saturday. this is just a few blocks away from where two other sinkholes occurred earlier in the week. a car that was swallowed by the original sinkhole had to be lifted and towed away. the latest sinkhole is about six feet deep. and a big pushback from fast food megagiant mcdonald's refusing to use genetically modified potatoes. the usda approved a idaho based company's new gmo potato,
