i mean she is from liberia. certainly knows what is happening in liberia. mr. duncan who has come from liberia, certainly knows what is going on in liberia. you think he might mention that to the people at the hospital. that didn't happen either. >> yeah, i didn't, i never heard that in fact ebola was mentioned by mr. duncan. that wasn't anywhere. obviously it is a consideration i think given what is happening in the world right now. to your point, anderson. sochl one comes in with fever of 100.1. first time came in wasn't having symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting that. could be a lot of thing thousands even if you returned from liberia. even in west africa you have lots of different diseases that can cause mild fever. that wasn't the pattern of events. missed his travel history. they didn't investigate it further. while they may have been right in thinking about other things as a possibility here, the fact that they didn't consider ebola as a possibility was the crucial mistake. >> doctor, you mentioned yesterday to me. there have been big cutbacks in publ

she is from liberia and certainly knows what is happening in liberia. and mr. duncan, who certainly knows what is happening in liberia, you would think he might mention that to the people at the hospital as well. but apparently that didn't happen either. >> i never heard that ebola was mentioned by mr. duncan. that was not anywhere. obviously, it is a consideration given what is happening in the world right now. but to your point, anderson, somebody comes in with a fever, 100.1. sounds like the first time he came in he was not having the other symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, things like that. that could be a lot of things even if you returned from liberia. in west africa you have a lot of diseases that could cause fever. but still that was not the pattern of events here. they just kind of missed this important part of his travel history and didn't investigate it further. so while they may have been right in thinking about other things as a possibility here the fact that they did not consider ebola as a possibility was the crucial mistake. >> doctor, you

a certain support will be provided to liberia. south africa intends to establish a hospital that will be located. this will assist in addressing the critical shortage. the hospital will be staffed by professionals. the process of the recruitment of the professionals is underway. we will be providing that direct binding to the world health organization for 9,600 basic personnel equipment and about 6,400 personal protective equipment in sierra leone, liberia and guinea. we will also provide medical supplies motorcycles and generators. we are conscious of the effect and the efforts by the commission and of course the ethics that africa within its means must do what it can to take active participation in this process. mr. president we have all of our partners inside the country to work with government and respond. many of our partners in the private sector in the institutions into the society have responded positively. today we have received most of them support by your logistics and provide a financial contributions and medical suppl

i know liberia opposes it.re steps, if any, do you think liberia and sierra leone and the other countries affected need to take to make sure that this virus does not spread outside western africa? >> well, jake, we want to, again, appreciate the international community, want to appreciate the u.s. government and the friendly people of the u.s. for the support for us even before the ebola, the american people are always been there for liberia and we truly appreciate what they are doing. we have been advocating that we can isolate ebola, but you cannot isolate a country that's affected. i think what needs to be done is a tighter effort on the part of this government to make sure -- >> part of the united states or part of -- >> no, liberia. the liberian government or any other place that is affected. >> do you think people -- your country screens individuals to see if they have a fever. you put a thermometer up to her heads to see if there's any fever. we do not do that with people arriving from liberia. do you th

i mean, obviously, zero risk means never coming to liberia. minimal risk means crossing over into this country. but you are right. it is 8-10 days from the time you're exposed to the time you show your first symptom, which is usually fever followed by vomiting, achiness and sometimes diarrhea. the deaths occur because diarrhea and vomiting is so severe. the good news is this young man, our colleague, was admitted to the clinic very, very early. i spoke with him today. he's in good spirits. he's ready to get home. of course, appropriately concerned. but he will be air lifted out soon. and it's an abundance of caution, we are self quarantining ourselves, even going beyond the cdc guidelines. we recognize that there is a big story back home. and, frankly, we want to be respectful to our colleagues and to the american public. >> dr. nancy, i just have to ask you in terms of that self quarantine and these plans to bring that young man back to the united states for treatment to bring your crew out, what are you expecting in terms of your ability to

he was screened in liberia and allowed to enter the united states. this affected passengers and the public. >> and soon many are going to the hot zone. what happens when they return to the united states? is there any plan at all? than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. before we craft it into a sandwich. the amazingly tender roasted turkey -- always raised without antibiotics, the zesty cranberry mostarda, the freshly baked flatbread... but here's what you don't always see. the care and attention that goes into it. because what matters most is the simple, delicious ingredients that make up the whole delicious meal made just for you. and this is our turkey cranberry flatbread sandwich, paired perfectly with our autumn squash soup. only at panera bread. the ultimate arena for business. hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. the only problem with conference calls: eventually they have to end. unless you have the comcast business voi

he was born in 1972 in liberia. >> you came to the united states how many years ago from liberia?2005, some nine years in the united states. >> this is his first visit, your brother's, to the united states, right? >> his first visit to the united states, yes. >> and there's some suspicion, because he had been in contact with a woman, a pregnant woman, in liberia, monrovia, just before he boarded that flight for brussels and then washington and then dallas and this woman had ebola, that he may have known he potentially could have had ebola and wanted to get out of liberia and get to the united states for treatment. you've heard that suspicion to which you say? >> well, as far as we're concerned, in liberia, is a country we help one another. this pregnant woman was walking and was falling and he ran to help her so she can't drop and hurt herself. nobody ever know he had ebola because ebola is in the system, it's not on the body. i think you run to help the person, that's all. that's what we heard. the information. he didn't know the woman according to the story. he was pregnant woma

we'll hear from a reporter who recently returned from liberia. in our signature segment, millions of poor people have become eligible for health insurance under the affordable care act. but some might not be getting the care they need. >> because it's not enough to just ensure people. you actually have to have systems in place that are effective and economical and credible. >> sreenivasan: next on pbs newshour weekend. >> pbs newshour weekend is made possible by: corporate funding is provided by mutual of america-- designing customized individual and group retirement products. that's why we are your retirement company. additional support is provided by: and by the corporation for public broadcasting and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening. thanks for joining us. secretary of defense chuck hagel has ordered the creation of an emergency response team in case additional ebola cases are discovered in the united

i just came back from liberia and nobody asked me anything. nobody asked me if i was exposed to an ebola patient or who i saw or what i was doing there or what symptoms i should watch out for even though this is known to be an issue for months and months now and then all of a sudden the cust omz and border people say we have a pamphlet and we'll start handing this out. why does it take us on television saying these things to have action taken. you are sort of wondering, what is going on and what is up with this? >> and our understanding is -- and we're finding out right now, cnn reported those soils sheets and towels there and they said they are sending something and we heard from the father in the apartment with the children, he said they are still there. >> reporter: i talked to experts who said public health time is a little bit slower than on the ground time. that there is this feeling when this kind of thing is happening, they need to move much more quickly than they usually do. >> and of course everyone sees every mistake made that is am

monrovia, liberia. one epicenter in the deadliest ebola outbreak in history. one month since we were here before, the number of cases in liberia have more than doubled. we want to see, has the response changed? the outbreak first started in december and spread across the borders into sierra leone and liberia. killing more than 3,000 people. a crippling lack of doctors and distrust of government have allowed this outbreak to explode. now, international response is starting to ramp up. president obama promising to send as many as 3,000 military personnel to build 17 treatment centers and train thousands of health care workers. a 25-bed field hospital to treat sick medical workers just arrived. in the cap tam, there are limited treatment facilities. but in many parts of the country, there are none. we're on the road, we're following two makeshift ambulances that are heading to a small village to pick up two patients who they hear have ebola. one is a mother and the other is her 6-month-old baby. a four-hour drive with every bend of these dusty roads, the city met

from liberia for treatment after contracting the deadly virus. he had recently begun working with an nbc news team including correspondent dr. nancy snyderman who spoke to nbc host rachel maddow from nairobi. >> even going beyond the cdc guidelines. >> reporter: in the states hazmat crews in texas will decontaminate the dallas apartment where the first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states stayed. last night they began moving sheets, clothes and possessions used by thomas duncan. officials ordered family members who came in contact with him to stay indoors. duncan is now at texas health for treatment. officials in liberia say they will prosecute duncan for allegedly lying about who he came in contact with before flying to the states. duncan reportedly filled out a health form at the airport with ebola but while there he helped a pregnant neighbor who later died of the disease. >> the fact that he knew and he left the country is appalling quite frankly. >> reporter: a family member didn't know the woman had ebola. texas health now'ing q

yet more misery for ebola victims in liberia.teams and health workers dealing with the outbreak threaten to go on strike unless they're paid more. back in court for sentencing, but could oscar pistorius escape jail for killing his girlfriend reeva steenkamp? >> reporter: i'm karin giannone live in pretoria, where mr. pistorius's defense team say he suffered enough already. he could face up to 15 years in jail

the same thing he told authorities when leaving liberia. but it's not just what the patient did that's coming under scrutiny today. it's the response. last night the hospital acknowledged a flaw in its computer system when duncan told a nurse in the er he had recently traveled to africa. only nurses could see that noted on his electronic patient chart, not doctors. he was sent home. >> every step along the way failed. so how can you reassure the public that you've got this under control? >> the case has been identified. the case is being dealt with appropriately. >> reporter: still, it wasn't until this afternoon that a specialized cleaning crew finally sanitized and removed items from the apartment duncan had been living in. those who had been quarantined there were moved to another location to ease fears. the city of dallas posted photos showing a car wrapped in plastic that they believe duncan rode in. why wasn't that done days ago? >> that's a great question. i don't have a good answer for you. >> reporter: who's in charge of that? >> o

. >>> liberia is at the breaking point. the african nation is in dire need to help the ebola crisis. >> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm david schuster. john siegenthaler is off. coming up new details on the first ebola case diagnosed in the united states including the children the patients may have come into contact with. plus the technology that will allow hong kong protesters to keep communicating even if china cuts off their cell phone and internet service. and an incredibly dangerous bridge some children cross every day just to duet to school. -- just to get to school. there are more questions tonight surrounding the first case of ebola diagnosed in the united states. doctors in texas admitted today they initially extent infected man home when -- they initially sent the nefngd man home when he first came to the-d infected man home when he came to hospital. heidi zhou-castro explains. >> it is a nightmare. texas governor rick perry explained. >> we now know that some school aged children have had contact with the

company based ngo working in liberia.lso partners with the christian mission group that we've heard so much about. the very heroes that are on the front line working in this ongoing battle against ebola and, doctor, i know that you join us in our sadness about hearing that this patient, this young man by all accounts, thomas duncan, has lost his battle with ebola. >> yes, that's very unfortunate that he has lost his life. but this is a very serious virus and, as you've said, time is of the essence, once a patient becomes ill with the disease and begins to experience diarrhea and vomiting and organ system failure, the chances of survival diminish greatly. >> in this situation -- it's not over yet. if there's one thing we have learned from these countries in west africa that you've been dealing with so closely it is that it's not just people are ill but also what to do after the passing. we have to expect that this hospital in dallas right now is taking very, very careful measure of their procedures at this point, doctor. >

so if she said -- the stupid thing about liberia when people are dying, she's very stupid. a stupid president. that's what i have to say about her. she's really stupid. >> did your brother ever mention to anyone, to you or anyone that he came in contact with a woman who was ill or anyone who was ill? >> no, he had never said that. we help everybody every time. and you help somebody you can't

, what was happening in liberia. there seemed to be some level of annoy once on louise's part with that. but she ended up going home and, again, this is the home that thomas duncan was staying at. one of her children was there, a 13-year-old child, and also two adult nephews in their 20s. and again for me the most surprising thing is, the towels that thomas duncan used are still in the apartment. she put them in a plastic bag. the bed he slept in, sweated in, the sheets are still on the bed, pillows still on the bed and she's waiting for word about what to do with all that. >> the towels, the sheets, these days, parts of four days, where he was symptomatic inside this apartment with louise, what does she say about possible contact with bodily fluidses? >> she might have tried to take his temperature or put her hand on him. >> she believes she didn't come in contact with bodily fluids. i asked her that several times. clearly she's worried about other people's perception of her and her family. you know, as you said, ca

in liberia. he is also a graduate of the school of public health and he has written how it is important to pay international support in winning the public's trust to stop the outbreak. his statement is that we must be helpful and stay hopeful to his own staff and his own people. the slogan within liberia is to be effective stay safe and keep serving. so part of the rationale of moving to a community-based strategy actually emerges from the area of liberia itself. and so it shows basically the cases over the months where monrovia, the capital is. but what you see is the one that started off in his axis turning to curtail off. this is one of the early counties where they have a problem with fear and a lot of distrust. what has happened is that communities are mobilizing in different ways organize them knows to try to address the epidemic. this has become the focus how the community care center is being managed out of these emerging properties in the county itself. there are other rationales and the

by august, ebola spread to liberia, siberia and sierra leone. according to the centers for disease control and prevention ebola epidemic is the largest in history and sadly the virus has claimed at least 4,000 lives to date. by the end of september, the cdc confirmed the diagnosis of the first travel associated case of ebola in the united states. the situation is rapidly developing into changing and americans are understandably worried. worried that their governments response to the outbreak and in particular, the steps we are taking to control the spread of ebola. with the high fatality rate as much as 70% is's ebola looks of public health around the world. an outbreak in american cities or any major city in the world could be very costly to contain and could have major economic impacts. yesterday's news was a doctor in new york city tested positive for ebola and this is particularly distressing. there is certainly some good news to report on our efforts to contain the outbreak created no new ebola cases have been reported in nigeria in 46 days

dunkin flew in from liberia and began showing symptoms. he want to the emergency room and was sent home. a nurse never passed along the information that he was from liberia. later he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. the center for disease control is tracking a growing circle of 100 people who could be at risk. the liberian community in philadelphia continues to feel the effects of the ebola scare. they are trying to keep updated on how their families are doing. liberian ministers association is collecting color rocks and gloves and food to send to liberia. >> those are the things they need the most. >> reporter: hospitals across the u.s. are prepared to treat ebola and contain the viruses more cases are brought into the country. delaware senator chris coons said the u.s. is sending three thousand engineers and public health workers to west africa to help. >> set up field hospitals and train community workers and distribute the kits that will make it possible for us to get a handle on ebola in west africa and tamp down the outbreak.

and he said liberia. >> he did say he was from liberia. tell me a bit about what happened when you landed, because we know that the -- the cdc did get involved immediately. we saw these photos of officials coming on the plane. what were they wearing, what kind of protective gear were they wearing and what did they tell and you all the other passengers to do? >> so originally, while we were waiting for the cdc to come on board, the flight attendants had come back and said that we were in row 27, and the flight attendant said rows 25 through 28 would need to stay on the plane. on that side of the plane, anyway. and everyone else would be able to deplane. and then cdc came on. they were wearing like a protective suit, face shield and mask and rubber gloves, of course. and then they escorted him off the plane. he and his daughter. he had a young daughter with him. and it wasn't very long -- i'm going to give you a guess because i'm not for sure, but it felt like 15 to 20 minutes later, they announced over the p.a. that everyone would be able t

. >> now, the family is from liberia. they say they watch the news, and that is what is making them stay inside their houses for fear of bringing danger to the public safety. again they're not showing symptoms, which by definition they are not contagious. cdc and healthcare workers are monitoring their temperatures twice daily. we haven't asked about the conditions about this family. they declined to return my call but they did say only one family has been ordered to quarantine. it is not them. this family again is just in limbo land, david. they're not sure whether they should stay, but they're not being taken care of either. >> heidi, traffic reporting there, heidi zhou castro reporting from dallas. >> in washington d.c. they are treating someone with ebola-like symptoms. he traveled to liberia and is now quarantined. they're evaluating and monitoring the patient in in collaboration with the cdc. we're getting more information about the cameraman in liberia who was just technologied with ebola. he was doing non-profit w

from liberia.ver all of this with one of the most important people -- having a tough time this morning. we have cdc director dr. thomas frieden and the general who is leading the command in liberia. >>> the woman leading the u.s. aid humanitarian response to liberia will be on as well. we will have all of the areas covered. and we will have infectious skies dr. anthony foucie. he will talk about how big the effort is. we are all worried about this. it is about analyzing our preparedness. again, people get scared easily. nobody wants to get something they cannot recover from. they will take us through and answer the questions this morning. >> you do have those people with you, chris, those people very much at the center of the battle against ebola here in the united states and in the three west african nations. thanks, chris. >> thanks, j.b. >>> please help end this nightmare. those words from the parents of missing college student hannah graham. the 18-year-old university of virginia sophomore vani

it has not been an easy few decades in liberia. tonight here in southwest philly, they'll be holding a conference. a group of liberian women gathering to talk about their homelands, how they recovered from the civil war and the two conflicts during the past two decades. they'll be showing song and dance and how their culture is resilient enough to tackle this new crisis head-on. >> you need to really have people who will help you to de-traumatize your brain into what it is. because we didn't have that. we have each other that help us a lot. >> reporter: now, women in liberia were a major force in bringing an end to that civil war. and today, unfortunately, a disproportionate number of women in liberia are infected with ebola because they make up a large portion of the medical and service community in that country. some 60% of fatalities have been women. this conference just getting started. live in philadelphia, nbc 10 news. >> all right, randy. >>> to a possible cure for the ebola virus. the canadian government announced it is set

from liberia. he is a liberian national. he arrived, on september 25th, he is feeling ill at presbyterian hospital where i am and they sent him home. on september 28th, he visits again, this time in an ambulance and is isolated. on september 29th, a family friend feels things are not moving fast enough and they call the cdc. now, i'll tell you anderson, and i was talking to an official about this situation and he said look, this is clearly a screw-up, that was his term. clearly, somebody shows up with a fever and history of travel in liberia, you should immediately, do not pass go or collect $200, treat this person as an infection risk and don't let him out. and protect yourself. apparently a nurse at the facility asked if he had recent travel to liberia or any infected country and he said yes, but we're told that that sort of had gotten lost. that that piece of information was not passed on or got miscommunicated. and so his care team did not know about it. >> and moments ago, we're told that mr. duncan may have come in con

i was not in the city when tony came to liberia. i am seeing him for the first time. i appreciate what they are doing. bur please please, please, please leave behind a long health system. don't get rid of ebola and run. thank you. >> for social welfare of liberia, i now give the floor to his excellency, abakar of sierra leone. . >> thank you very much, mr. president. your excellency, presidents of the u.n. general assembly, excellencies, let me talk to the president of the 69 account u.n. general assembly, thank you for convening this session, on the west african ebola outbreak. since the disease in may of this year, well over 2,50 people have been affected in our country alone. over 500 have lost their lives. most affidavit are women and children. over two-thirds belong to the most economically active age of 15 to 50. while we have made progress in the fight against this scourge, significant challenges remain. one, we see these challenges because of a weak turning lance system. two, we see challenges in moving cases from the communities to management, due to logistic

things were pretty bad in liberia then. were you worried about going to liberia in july? liberia, it was not as bad as they were saying here. when i got there, i went to get my nieces from monroeville to another city, and because of the ebola crisis in monrovia at the time. but when i got back to the states, like the liberians are first to take the ebola seriously, it was not a joke. they didn't believe that we had ebola in liberia. so we're trying to talk to people in the community, this is real, you know. healthcarejflp workers before liberians belief we had ebola. >> even from what they were hearing from relatives in liberia. >> theynchu weren't worried. >> thank you very much for joining us. i really appreciate it.w3 >> chris hayes is up next.e1 çó >> tonight on "allt( in." n people whoj;w have been marked f the list havefá ebola.fáfá >> finally( some good news.c 43 people are cleared from theok ebola watch list, includingi] fianceecyñof the first patieqt)p >> i'm free, ebola free. >> then,xd despite calls to remn

liberia says the first person to bring ebola to the u.s. the virus. new details about how he contracted the virus and what his family is facing under quarantine. >>> plus, intense moments between police and protesters in hong kong. why the crowds refused to leave even though the chief executive is sending his tough top deputy to talks. >>> australia becomes the latest nation to green light air strikes in iraq. we'll show you what's happening on the front lines in this ongoing battle against isis. >>> in the fight against ebola liberia says it may prosecute thomas eric duncan, that's the first person to test positive for ebola in the u.s. the chairman of liberia's airport authority says duncan lied on an airport questionnaire asking if he cared for a patient with a deadly virus. witnesses said he had been helping ebola patients before he traveled to the u.s. liberia's president says it is unpardonable that duncan decided to fly knowing

for the fact that a liberia -- someone traveling from liberia has brought the first ebola case here. >> with the u.s. doing so much to help us fight ebola and again, one of our compatriots has gone there and in a way put some americans in a state of fear, and put them at some risk. i feel very saddened by that, very angry with him, to tell you the truth. >> liberia is the hardest hit country, about 2000 of the 3,000 deaths so far from ebola have been in liberia. they obviously are very much welcoming the u.s. military aid that will be pouring in over the next month. >> what about restricts flights from west africa to the u.s.? is that being looked at now? >> it seems like the easiest solution, seal the borders, but you can't really seal the borders on something like this. everyone says that is just not the way to go. these passengers are being screened before they get on the plane for fever. if they have signs of fever, they're not allowed onboard, as we have pointed out, you cannot transmit ebola if you are not showing symptoms, so for example, the gentleman now sick in the u.s., th

troops over there in liberia?>> so as you know, the president announced the troop level that we would need over here. so as you know, for any of these kinds of contingencies, the commander on the ground will make recommendations up -- up the chain of command if he or she needed more resources to accomplish the mission as we support a.i.d. and the government of liberia. so i'm comfortable with the secretary of defense has approved in terms of the force that is will flow in over here over the next -- i guess i should have mentioned some time ago. we're about 500 now, a little over, in skwloint operational area. that includes senegal. i didn't mention it earlier but we have a staging base in senegal. the idea behind that is to give us more agility to move into theater and increase our ability to rapidly resupply and bring soldiers, sailors, airmen and marine and equipment into monrofia, which is the center of gravity and where aide has asked us to focus. but we will also have some capacity at senegal to enable the on

should halt flights from liberia and the affected areas there? there are neighboring african countries have closed the borders to people crossing from liberia. why do you not think it's a good idea to halt flights from west africa? >> yes, ma'am. i will do the first part and hand the rest to the ambassador. challenges for department of defense -- it rains a lot here. and the infrastructure is challenging. which is why we are using the vertical component of this great country. so we have been asked to build these ebola treatment units and resource them by using the water , the air, so my biggest challenge right now is working through the environment. now the ambassador tells me, she has lived here longer than any of us, that the season is about to change, so we are about to go into different conditions. i would not say we underestimated, but i think we did not realize how wet it would be here and that is somewhat of a challenge or i will of the ambassador handle the other two. >> major-general williams has outlined some of the physical challenges.

place. >> i left liberia on september 26th, a week after duncan would have left liberia.know that we went through the same process. i was handed a form that i had to fill out and there are two questions that i think are of particular interest in this case, brooke. one of the questions is did you stay in a house with or have other casual contact with an ebola patient and have you taken care of an ebola patient or come into contact with bodily fluids of an ebola patient. so if you answer question to any of those questions, you get secondary screening. doesn't mean you can't leave the country. it means that they are going to talk with you and screen you again. they take your temperature again. so we don't know how he answered those questions. we don't know if he went through that secondary screening. >> sanjay, to you, i thought you brought up a great point as we get information that the ebola patient in serious condition in dallas was living in a home where he and others were carrying for this ebola infected patient. so he would have answered yes to one of those questions t
