7:01 am
happened. >> we'll hear is amazings story of survival. the latest person to take on the ice bucket challenge. the big question now, who will she pass the bucket to. today is saturday, august 9, 2014. announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with lester holt and erica hill. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, welcome to "today" on a saturday morning. i'm lester holt. >> i'm erica hill alongside jenna wolfe. the latest on the ebola crisis. it's killed 1,000 people. this morning we will hear from one of the two u.s. aid workers recovering in atlanta. a girl swept away in a tsunami ten years ago is found
7:02 am
alive and well. how she became to be reunited with her family who thought she was gone forever. overnight, another drop of humanitarian aid. this as questions are growing about the u.s. military's involvement. jim is following all of this this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. this is a crisis that gets worse by the day as the u.s. military made the secondary drop of food and water. the problem is there are some 15,000 refugees. but each left provisions for one day and only for half of them. tens of thousands of yazidi refuge refugees. the air drop of tons of today and gallons of water is welcome
7:03 am
relief. u.s. military predicts unless isis rebels are driven from these mountains, the humanitarian air drops are all that will keep them alive. at the same time, with authorization from the president, u.s. military warplanes are striking rebel targets outside the city of erbil. two u.s. navy f-18s destroyed isis artillery. an unmanned drone hit. four f/a-18s pounded on envoy. the air strikes are aimed at protecting americans at the u.s. consulate in erbil. it will have limited effect on doing empty political gesture that is won't have a
7:04 am
significant humanitarian impact, won't prevent genocide. >> reporter: isis seized a large swath of north and eastern iraq and ultimately a terrorist threat with the u.s. >> they can come back to western europe and the united states and attack. >> reporter: now, president obama has vowed to the american people that he will not drag the u.s. back into another ground war in iraq. but, make no mistake, these air strikes have dragged the u.s. military back into the iraq war. american warplanes could be in iraq for an unlimited time. >> jack jacobs is a u.s. military affairs and he has two purple hearts. colonel jacobs, good morning. >> good morning. >> can the u.s. protect with air
7:05 am
strikes alone? if not, what is the next move? >> the short answer is yes. not without a few 500-pound bombs. you saw in the report, that's not going to do anything. what they have to do is target concentrations of isis troops and their weapons and do it in a continuous way. i don't think we have the stomach for doing even that. that means erbil will be under great stress. >> could we be looking at an evacuation of erbil? >> yes. the short answer is yes. if we are unsuccessful in protecting erbil, if there's a continued evacuation of erbil by the people defending it, i think you are liable to see something awful, that is an evacuation of a large number of americans there. we have a consulate there and
7:06 am
contractors, trainers. they are going to have to be evacuated at some juncture. the way to avoid that is keep the pressure on isis and we don't demonstrate we have the guts to do. >> you know this better than any of us. we could see american warplanes in skies over iraq for a long time. how do you begin to draw the line of i'm hitting this target to protect the americans and this target to protect the rest of iraq? is the mission blurred and are we there for a long time? >> yes. it's possible there could be mission creep. i don't think the american public is too much concerned about mission creep if what we are using is our decision missions from american planes are not at risk. we use tomahawk missiles shot at a great distance. as long as there are no further boots on the ground, we have special operations.
7:07 am
as long as there are no more boots on the ground, the american public will be satisfied. they are not interested in putting regular, conventional troops on the ground. >> thank you very much. erica? >> thanks. a new threat in paradise is hurricane julio moving closer to hawaii where residents are picking up the pieces of a powerful storm iselle who made land fall on friday. we are on the big island. he is in the thick of it. it's tough to see him. good morning. >> reporter: most of hawaii dodged a bullet. several communities along the southeast shore of the big island got pummeled, turning the coast into a disaster zone. hawaii braces for julio, they are assessing the damage from iselle. the district of puna took is direct hit. along paradise drive, startling
7:08 am
stories of survival. >> i thank god, above all things. >> reporter: during the storm, laura torres and her 3-year-old daughter took shelter in the laundry room, buried under a pile of clothes. >> i stuffed clothes under us and let eep it out. >> reporter: when trees started falling around the house, the family started running for their lives. >> the trees were falling while we were running to get out of the house. >> reporter: just north in hilo, a raging torrent. in honolulu, plenty of preparation and little damage. beach goers flocking back to the beach as the department of health warned them to stay away from flood run off because it is likely contaminated. tens of thousands without power as utility crews work overtime for the foreseeable future.
7:09 am
>> completely destroyed. >> reporter: as sean and laura's home, neighbors came to their rescue. >> i can't thank them enough for everything they are doing. >> another hurricane on the way, so, we are not in the clear yet, that's for sure. >> reporter: while the forecast says julio will spare communities like this, many are not going chance it, moving temporarily away from the coast to higher ground. lester? >> thanks very much. let's check in with dylan. >> julio is a category 2 hurricane. the fact that it's on the tail end of what was once hurricane iselle, downgraded to a tropical storm and now no longer anything but clouds. here is julio, it is a category 2 storm with 100-mile-per-hour winds. the good news is the track of the storm. it is not going to take the same
7:10 am
path that iselle did. the heavier rain bands, to the south of honolulu is where the heaviest rain is. as we go through the course of the weekend, this storm is going to downgrade to a tropical storm. sunday, 8:00 a.m., look how southeast it is. it is going to rough up the surf. the outer bands with 11 to 14 inches of rain. we could see additional rain cause more flooding. it is still worth watching, however, it is not going to be a direct hit. that is good news with the double barrelled storms heading toward hawaii. erica? >> thanks. the world health organization is calling for an international response this morning to the growing ebola crisis. this, as medical officials in ontario canada confirm they have a patient being tested for ebola. gabe gutierrez is in atlanta where the two american patients are being treated. good morning.
7:11 am
>> reporter: there are encouraging signs from the two american patients. the largest ebola outbreak ever is raging across west africa. this morning, they may be in isolation, but they are not alone. dr. kent brantly is thanking the world for his prayers. i'm growing stronger every day and i thank god for his mercy. the other american with ebola, nancy writebol is feeling well enough to ask for starbucks coffee. >> she is doing well, but has a long way to go. >> reporter: when they visit, they see her through glass and use a cell phone to call the room. >> doctors are trying to care for her and keep her comfortable. >> one nurse inside the room and one outside the room 24/7, making sure they respond to anything. >> reporter: writebol's husband, david, is still in liberia
7:12 am
waiting for the incubation period to end. >> she is the best part of my life. i deeply love her and, you know, 40 years of marriage and being together, it's hard to be apart. >> reporter: the outbreak emerged in guinea and spread to sierra leone, liberia and nigeria. >> i am declaring the ebola disease a public health emergency of international concern. >> reporter: some aid organizations like doctors without borders said the worldwide response has been agonizing slow. the shortage of health care workers is dire. >> the difficulty we have today is to find the number of people who have been trained and able to set up new treatment centers in the effected country. >> reporter: here in emory, doctor brantly wrote he witnessed the horror firsthand
7:13 am
and he remembers every face and name. erica? >> gabe gutierrez in atlanta, thanks. hamas militants rage on this morning. there was hope a three day cease-fire would be enough to stop the fighting. after that cease-fire, the violence picked up once again. bill is live in gaza city. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. planes are firing off flares. we are in a deadly and depressing situation. a second day of fighting since the end of the truce and a conflict that is now entering the second month. people on both sides of the gaza border are asking when and how on earth the conflict is going to end. the sound of war across gaza, once again. israeli air strikes by day. more than 30 overnight. five palestinians reported dead. three of them burie in the
7:14 am
rubble of one of several mosques hit. israel is striking hamas positions, command posts, a weapons store. civilians are also dying, once again. a 10-year-old boy, the first casualty, mourned by his inconsolable father. across the gaza border, two civilians and one soldier injured by rockets. the return of the war, the sirens and the terror is wearing people down. ashkelon is the first one hit. >> everybody is getting hurt and everything is damaged. >> reporter: the fighting forced thousands back to u.n. shelters in gaza. this school held 600 refugees. today, it's nearly 3,000. some of the children who should be at school are recovering at hospitals from terrible injuries. the same tragedy, he says, keeps
7:15 am
repeating itself again and again. there is little sign of peace in the rubble. what about the future? >> no future in gaza, man. no future. never going to stop. >> reporter: egypt holding peace talks is calling for a new cease-fire. israel won't talk while the rockets fly and missiles are still being fired by both sides here. that israeli warplane is circling overhead. a short time ago, 200 yards from here, the missiles strike. one bomb followed by a greater explosion. if there are signs of hope, it's that the pace of attacks on both sides is lightening and the peace talks are not declared dead, just yet. lester? >> bill, thank you. time for a look at the rest of the mornings top stories. >> jenna is here with those. a massive wildfire threatening hundreds of homes in
7:16 am
oregon could be brought under control today. only one home was completely lost, two others heavily damaged. the five square mile blaze should be contained this weekend. high winds made the fires volatile in the pacific northwest. a turn in the death of james brady, the former press secretary wounded in 1981 assassination attempt of president reagan died. his death is ruled a homicide. pete williams has that story. >> reporter: after conducting an autopsy, a suburban medical examiner concluded his death was a homicide. cause of death -- the gunshot wound he suffered in 1981 and medical consequences of the shooting. he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982. since then, he's been undergoing medical treatment in a hospital in washington. in recent years, his family
7:17 am
sought and won longer visits to the family home in williamsburg, virginia. for months, a federal judge has been considering to eventually let him stay full time if the shorter visits go well. officials reached no decision about whether to take further league action because of this new finding. it's far too soon to know if it will complicate the efforts to get him longer stays away from the hospital. he is 59 years old. it's been 33 years since the shooting, the secret service follows him when he leaves the hospital. there's no statute of limitations on murder. murder charges are possible. they are long away from any decisions. pete williams, nbc washington. a one-time member of the charles manson family, bruce davis, will not be paroled. jerry brown reversed the
7:18 am
decision to set him free. he admitted to committing murder as a member of the cult but only a minor role in the slaughter that shocked americans in 1969. the mystery of the white flags on the brooklyn bridge may soon be solved. new york police identified four persons of interest from surveillance. they have dna evidence from the white flags raised on the bridge in the dead of night one night last month. police have not said when they will make the arrests. finally this morning, you remember when they hated his guts, ripped up his jersey and called him names and hated him more? that's all forgiven and forgotten. 30,000 fans welcomed him home. fireworks lit up the sky behind him. james promised the crowd he will never, ever go anywhere, ever again. let's keep in mind, he's only signed what comes out to a
7:19 am
two-year deal. he's not setting his sights too far into the future. let's wait and see what happens. >> the power of forgiveness. >> the power of fireworks. >> dylan, you have the rest of the forecast? >> so much gut hating. >> there was a lot of hating when lebron left. >> i know. we are looking good morning to you, i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck

7:22 am
7:23 am
in common? >> jenna knows. she's in the orange room with the answer. >> i love this story. here is the deal. what happens when a guy names samsung works for apple? when he no longer works there, he auctions off his business card, uniform and landiard on ebay. this is samsung, a former special it who bears the name as the biggest competitor. mr. sung never spoke about it until he parted ways with apple. what do you do when your apple business card reads sam sung specialist? you cash in on the irony. there's six days of bidding to go and the current bid is $80,000. if you think i am mispronouncing, i'm not. i said $80,000. he's doing it for a reason.
7:24 am
proceeds help benefit the children's wish foundation, an organization that improves the lives of children. his name, sam sung, he works for apple. it's ironic. >> i'm waiting to hear the winning bidder is microsoft. bargain hunters have their eyes on back-to-school sales. you may be surprised what else you can get. >> we love bargains. first, these messages.
