favorite meals. this is part of our shine a lot city. the american heart association is working there to help keep people healthier. s this video has everyone talking this week. she is crying over the fact her baby brother will eventually grow up. cherish life's smallest moments. >> that will be great. we begin with the top story. that is effective of two first aid workers affected with ebola will return to the u.s. today. itis not clear if it will be brantly or nancy writebol. one will arrive today, the other set in a few days. stephanie goff has been following it. >> it will land here and either
7:03 am
brantly or writebol will be rushed to the hospital and into the isolation ward. the urgency to get them out of liberia has been growing. the deadly disease was taking toll on their bodies while the security situation in the country deteriorated. they were described as grave, but stable. a charity group, said emory university hospital is ready and waiting. developed with the cdc to take care of patients with highly infectious diseases. >> we can deliver a higher level of care to optimize the likelihood those patients will survive. >> reporter: it is a tightly controlled process led by the u.s. state department and the cdc. dr. brantly and writebol are being flown separately on planes like this with multiple layers of protection. the gurney will be placed in a
7:04 am
tent. the patient enclosed in another part of plastic. everyone on the plane in a suit head-to-toe. s.o.s. provides medical tear to people traveling overseas. this is lodgistically difficult and will risk. >> it's challenging to find a biological containment unit that is a, going to completely protect the health care provi r providers and let them have access to this patient with the disease. >> reporter: once safely here, the medical staff at emory takes over. the doctor is sending a strong message to anyone about ebola. >> i will be one of the individuals in direct contact with the patient. i have no csrn about my personal health. >> reporter: the second patient is expected here next week. and will be brought here to
7:05 am
emory. doctors say they have control of everything that goes in and out of the isolation ward, including people. the families will be allowed to visit, but the only access is through a glass window. >> thanks. dr. nancy snyderman is the chief medical editor. good morning. we heard a lot of assurances there. are you confident there's risk of this getting out? >> i'm not only confident, lester, but there are dozens of ebola that have been in the country before. it's related to yellow fever, cousins, if you will. it is true, ebola has never been diagnosed in this country before. that's precisely why such unbelievable precautions are being taken. from the time this patient leaves liberia to the time they are admitted at emory, there will be no human contact with anyone. the only way to get ebola is by
7:06 am
transferring fluids, that's vomit, diarrhea and feces. that is not going to happen. >> stephanie walked us through the precautions in terms of transportation. ebola, first time. this has been done before in terms of transporting infectious patients, correct? >> it has been done. that's why it's been thought out and well planned. the worst thing anyone could have done is say we have to get these people out. they took their time. they assessed from here. they prepare add room. they got the right planes. they got the right team. are either of the people too sick to fly? can they be stabilized in the air? only after those questions were assessed and those boxes checked will it be deemed okay to bring that patient here. i know the cdc had a black eye as we talk about other things, but having the cdc and a top
7:07 am
university within a couple miles of each other is really smart in this case. >> i think we can understand all the medical precautions for patients known to be infected. what about people coming from west africa showing those symptoms? is there worry there because the outbreak is not controlled in africa? >> the center for disease control have detectives on the ground. they know the manifest. they are screening patients to see if they have early symptoms, fever, sore throat, muscle weakens and aches and pains. many people are too sick to get on an airplane. if someone arrives here, there are also cdc people at over 20 of the international ports looking at people who might be too ill and catching people at that point. if you look at ebola right now in west africa as an out of control wildfire, any individual
7:08 am
who escapes that area is considered a spark. they are contained. the disease burns its out. there's not evidence of one person casually spreading it to another. all medical personnel who understand infectious diseases are comfortable with the plan. >> dr. nancy snyderman, thanks. if you have questions about ebola go to facebook or twitter. use #orangeroom. dr. nancy will be here to answer your concerns and questions. turning now to the latest on the crisis in the middle east. it's been a deadly day. we have in gaza city with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. we were supposed to be the second day of this cease-fire.e of the war with the death toll rising by the hour. it began yesterday morning when the israeli military said two
7:09 am
soldiers were killed, one abducted. there are questions as to whether or not that soldier is dead or alive. israel's unrelenting fire power raining down on gaza. hitting over 200 targets overnight and destroying one of gaza's main universities. day long shelling killing more than 160 palestinians, injuring hundreds more. hamas and health officials are calling it a massacre. israel says it was a rescue operation, part of the hunt to recover an israeli soldier it believes was abducted inside gaza. hamas has been using a network of tunnels like this one, shown by the israeli military just before they blew it up. the tunnels have proven to be lethal in their fight against advancing israeli troops. in an online statement, hamas'
7:10 am
military wing says the soldier was probably killed. still, the soldier's father held out hope telling reporters, quote, we are certain the defense force will not stop until they have turned every stone and brought him home. the capture would be a nightmare for israel and a victory for hamas that exchanged the captured israeli soldier for palestinian prisoners. it led to a sharp escalation and a lethal blow to a three-day cease-fire that lasted less than three hours. now, despite the violence over the past 24 hours and the sharp escalation, palestinians say they will head to cairo later to participate in negotiations. the question now is whether or not israel will send a delegation from tel-aviv to cairo for the talks. that decision is expected later this evening. erica? >> thanks. the conflict in the middle
7:11 am
east was one of the topics of discussion that president obama spoke about during a wide range news conference on friday. the president reiterated how important a truce is in that area. >> a cease-fire was one way in which we could stop the killing. step back and try to resolve some of the underlying issues that have been building up over time. >> let's go to kristen welker at the white house with more. good morning. >> reporter: lester, good morning to you. as the death toll mounts in israel and gaza, president obama has strong words for hamas friday calling for them to release the israeli soldier that was captured among those that led to the cease-fire falling apart. the u.s. believes israel has a right to defend itself. it's up to the two sides to put a working cease-fire in place. the president urged prime
7:12 am
minister benjamin netanyahu to work toward a cease-fire. secretary kerry traveled to the region and has been working the phones around the clock. it's important to note, the president is pessimistic about the chance for a resolution, even short term anytime soon. lester? >> let's talk about the domestic problems, immigration. he went after republicans for not getting anywhere on this topic. what is he saying. >> reporter: that's right. first to the news, the house passed a piece of legislation that was aimed at dealing with the border crisis. it has no chance of passing through the senate with democrats saying the bill would punish immigrant that is are here. congress left for recess. in his remarks friday, the president blasted republicans. the president asked congress for $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis. friday, he signaled he's prepared to act alone. >> i'm going to have to act alone. we don't have enough resources.
7:13 am
we have been clear, we have run out of money. without additional resources and help from congress, we are not going to have the resources we need to fully solve the problem. >> reporter: now, based on my conversations with white house officials, the president is still planning to announce an executive action at the end of summer that deals with the broader issue of immigration reform as they urge him to go big. i'm told he's not shying away from that idea. a spokesperson for john boehner said the president has been awol when it comes to fixing the crisis. this is going to be a hot button issue. lester? >> thanks. there are new developments into the death of a new york city man put in a choke hold by police. that is caught on tape. the medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide. protesters are planning to rally today. anne thompson has more.
7:14 am
>> reporter: today, we expect to hear from eric garner's family about his death being rule add homicide. a death that happened after his arrest by new york city police. the city medical examiner finding the choke hold used on the man suspected of illegally selling cigarettes caused his death. asthma, obesity and heart disease were factors. the shocking and violent images angered city residents. emergency workers on the tape appear to do nothing to help a struggling garner. there's the issue of white police officers subduing a black suspect. the city's african-american community rallied around his widow. activists and msnbc host reverend al sharpton got personal with the mayor bringing the mayor's teenage son into the debate. >> if donte wasn't your son, he
7:15 am
would be a candidate for a choke hold. we have to deal with that reality. >> reporter: choke holds were banned by the new york city police and the commissioner promised that message would be reinforced. >> we shall retrain the whole department, all 35,000 members and particularly the 20,000 officer that is routinely work the street. >> reporter: the officer using the choke hold has been banned of his badge and gun. the police union offers sympathy to garner's family, but says if he didn't resist arrest, quote, this tragedy would not have occurred. meanwhile, a family mourns and a city debates the tactics used to keep peace. for "today," anne thompson, nbc news, new york. let's get you caught up on the morning's top stories. jenna is following those for us. >> hi, everyone.
7:16 am
two american tourists held in north korea made their first public appearance and pleading for help. we have the details. duncan, good morning. >> good morning, jenna. the two have been charged with anti-fate crimes and being detained in north korea for three months. they spoke to a local associated press crew. we don't know how free they were to answer the questions. jeffrey from ohio was arrested in april, suspected by the north koreans of leaving a bible in the bathroom of a nightclub. he speaks of his fears of the trial and in a letter apparently written by him says he's desperate to return to his family. also in the video, todd miller. he's in good health and treated well but asks for the u.s. government to get him released. they have been holding another american, kenneth bey. because of ill health, he's been
7:17 am
kept in the hospital. this week, he said he's been sent back to a prison camp. all are hoping to be free as these women were in 2009. >> we walked through the doors, we saw standing before us president bill clinton. >> reporter: then bill clinton making a surprise visit to north korea to help negotiate their release. north korea has been trying to get more tourists visiting, but the u.s. state department advises against that because of the risk of arrest and being detained. jenna? >> duncan, thank you very much. a team of international investigators finally made it to the crash s of malaysia airline flight 17 in eastern ukraine. dutch and australian experts scoured the area for remains. it took a week to get to the scene because of the military and pro-russian rebels. investigators collected
7:18 am
belongings from the 298 people killed aboard the boeing 777 that was shot down. the remains will be flown to the netherlands, which is leading the investigation. a late night vote from house republicans certainly won't be the end of the immigration debate on capitol hill. lawmakers passed a $694 million emergency spending bill that would crack down on central american migrants flooding the u.s. border with mexico. they left washington for a five-week summer recess. that means the measure won't go anywhere until september. president obama can veto the house bill, if it comes across his desk. >> you remember that gruesome leg injury. you might think the same thing when i say indiana pacers all-star, paul george. a warning, the video you are about to see is extremely graphic. if you are squeamish, turn away. it happened in vegas. george came down hard, smashed
7:19 am
and snapped his leg. he hit the back board post. trainers carried him off on a stretcher. the coach came out and canceled the rest of the scrimmage out of respect for george. his family will have more the next hour. another story about an amusement park ride that was everything except the ride. the roller coaster at six flags in new jersey got stuck up on the way up the 230 foot peak forcing passengers to get off before the best part. the best part? well, they had to walk down alongside the tracks. nobody was hurt or injured. park officials say it experienced a power failure. the ride was shut down for the remainder of the night. no word on when it will reopen. any sports fan knows where to get and sit to get the best view of a game. if you are a rugby fan, you know the best line. what if you could get something

a mom is getting a fair amount of praise and criticism online after calling her 18-year-old daughter a spoiled brat and selling her katy perry concert tickets. >> there's question about whether or not she went too far with the public nature of it. jenna is following the public reaction. >> bad behavior equals no katy perry. in less than five minutes, the mother of an 18-year-old girl posted tickets in fargo, north dakota. this is the post. daughter is a spoiled brat, doesn't deserve these tickets. she goes on in detail. the response, like anything else in life, a mixed bag. for example, she says great job to this mom showing her kid
7:25 am
needs to respect her parent and there are consequences when they don't. moving on, tailor says telling everyone your daughter is a spoiled brat is uncalled for. >> should be given the mother of the year award. tell us how you really feel. whitney said, go mom. i agree with the punishment. mom paid for the ticket. she expects respect in return. i don't like the way she did it. did the punishment fit the crime? tweet us? >> people share everything. tell the world. >> the public part of it was a little much. still to come on "today,"
