The c. D. C. Said it needed to rethink its approach to ebola and now it has. Today, director tom frieden said the agency will send a Rapid Response team to any hospital that diagnoses a patient with ebola. Frieden also said 76 Health Care Workers who had contact with ebola victim thomas eric duncan, after he was admitted to a dallas hospital are being monitored. The nurse who apparently caught ebola from him is reported to be in Good Condition tonight. Today, World Health Officials said the ebola death toll in west africa has topped 4,400, and it warned it could get a lot worse. We have two reports tonight. First dr. Jon lapook. Reporter the World Health Organization said today that by december 1, the region could see 5,000 to 10,000 new cases every week. Officials say the only way to curb the outbreak is to ramp up the response so that within 60 days, 70 of cases are isolated and under treatment and 70 of burials are safe. Assistant director general Bruce Aylward acknowledged the challenge ahead. If we dont do it in 60 days and take 90 days, number one, a lot more people will die that shouldnt. And number, two we will be that will need that much more capacity on the ground eventually to be able to manage the case load. Reporter dr. Eileen farnon of Temple University school of medicine just returned from the region. She was an Infection Control o nsultant for who. If our goal is at 70 are we at 20 , 30 . Where are we . Its hard to give a real ballpark estimate on that. My gut instinct would be were less than 50 . Reporter what are the stakes . What if we dont reach 70 within 60 days . That would be a complete catastrophe. We know how to control this disease, and it can be done. We simply need the resources and the people and the coordination to do it. Reporter although previous estimates put the mortality rate at about 50 , a more accurate number is now felt to be closer to 70 . One important change that should help the who says liberias capital city of monrovia is starting to scale up the number of burial teams. Right now they need people and cash. Pelley and we just learned from the white house that theyll be asking congress for more money for all of this. Jon lapook, thanks very much. About half of the ebola cases in the world are in liberia, west africa, and that is where we find debora patta tonight. Reporter these Health Care Workers are on another run in the overcrowded slum of west point. Through the warren of narrow alleys, they perform one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. The virus is so contagious, even a moments lack of concentration can be fatal. This man has ebola symptoms and must be treated quickly to avoid spreading the disease. As hes placed in the ambulance, anxious eyes take notice. Watching, too, is katie meyler, an American Charity worker from new jersey. This is her organizations own ambulance, bought when it was clear liberias Health Care System was collapsing. The ambulance is able to carry the sick out very quickly here. In other communities, it can take up to three, four days before an ambulance arrives. For us, its 30 minutes. Reporter meyler runs a school for west point girls, but with all classes canceled now wash your hands, what else . Reporter then she turned her school into an outreach center. She believes its the only way the disease will be stopped. You have sickness around, so be extra careful. You have sickness around you. No, im telling you. Theres people around you who are sick. Reporter meyler works hand in hand with workers like archie gebessy, who go door to door looking for residents who might be infected. Five persons died last month. Here are the family. And it happened as a result of the fact that they never had the basic education to prevent themselves as people. Reporter eyler tries to bring comfort to the sick who are allowed no human contact. People are not dying only of ebola. Theyre dying of hopelessness. Theyre dying of isolation and loneliness. Reporter to ease that pain, she sends mobile phones to patients so at least they can call their families. All of them are talking now . Reporter today, meyler got through to a sick mother. Oh, thats really great news. Im overjoyed to hear that all the family that theyre doing better now. Im so grateful, you know, in this town where so many people are dying. Reporter despite efforts like katie meylers, a walk around the city makes it clear it is not enough. Theres certainly a greater awareness of ebola in monrovia we reek of chlorine. Everywhere you go, you wash your hands in it, but it will still take a Massive International effort, scott, to stop the deadly march of this virus. Pelley debora patta in liberia for us tonight. Debora, thank you. Also on this, facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, priscilla, announced today they are donating 25 million to the c. D. C. Foundation to help in the fight against ebola. Microsoft cofounder paul allen has donated 20 million to the cause, including 9 million last month to the c. D. C. We learned today that computers of the Nato Alliance were hacked by russians who exploited a flaw that they discovered in a microsoft operating system. Homeland security correspondent bob orr is looking into this. Reporter while its troops battled prorussia rebels this summer, the Ukrainian Government faced a stealth attack on a separate front. Hackers apparently breached government Computer Networks looking for sensitive intelligence files. A report from the Cyber Security firm isight partners blames that attack on Russian Hackers who over the last five years have gone after policymakers, defense officials, and diplomats. Isight said targets in the ongoing cyber blitz range from energy and Communications Firms to nato and governments of the european union. Since all of the victims appear to be adversaries of russia, its believed the hackers are working with the backing of Vladimir Putins government. The hackers are nicknamed the Sandworm Team because references to the Science Fiction series dune found embedded in the code of the malware. The sandworm spies exploited a flaw in Microsoft Windows and used a common technique called spear phishing. The hackers sent innocentlooking emails which when opened injected malware into the computer servers of the targets. In the case of the most recent breach, sandworm sent Ukrainian Government officials tempting emails. Purporting to contain information about prorussian agitators. Microsoft says its now issues a fix to plug that vulnerability. Cyber investigators are trying to assess how much damage might have been done. While its clear the hackers breached multiple systems, we dont know, scott, what they took. Pelley bob orr, in our washington newsroom tonight. Bob, thanks very much. Severe weather is pounding the south for a second night. Tornado watches are up in several states after at least 14 twisters touched down yesterday. Alabama got hit overnight. In decatur, high winds knocked down a roof at a used car lot and a huge oak tree crashed into a house in tuscumbia. Two people inside suffered minor injuries. A new study out today says the San Francisco bay area is due for a strong earthquake with a possible magnitude of 6. 8 or greater. The studys coauthor says pressure has been building for years along sections of the San Andreas Fault system but, of course, there is no way to tell exactly when this big one might hit. The u. S. And its allies have unleashed their most intense barrage to date against the Islamic Terrorist Group known as isis. There have been 21 airstrikes 24 hours near the kurdish village of kobani in northern syria. The military says that slowed the isis advance. In iraq, isis is closing in on baghdad. Elizabeth palmer took a rare trip to the front lines in Anbar Province just west of the capital. Reporter nothing in the bustle of abu ghraibs market hint theres a war zone just down the road. Commander ali majidi wants to show how safe it is. General, how many violent incidents have there been here since july . Only two i. E. D. S he says targeting the iraqi army. But isis isnt far out of town. In the generals american humvee, we crossed four miles of w rmland deserted now except for the occasionally military sentry. This is part of the Security Belt around baghdad, only 13 miles from the international airport. The line of defense is an earth berm and sniper shield guarded by a battalion of iraqi soldiers camped on the dusty plain. Isis fighters are just a couple of miles in the trees over my shoulder, but the front line is static. Neither side is moving forward or back, just trading occasional fire. gunshot sure enough, the Iraqi Army Suddenly opened up. Isis had just fired a mortar over the berm. The soldiers returned fire at the village of as subjaiyat, rtst visible across nomansland and prepared a mortar of their own. Its unlikely to do much damage but the soldiers hope it will stop isis from advancing on them and on the capital. Then a third mortar whistled in. Isis is getting more accurate. Mortars are coming in closer. And we left the soldiers to their dangerous stalemate. Scott, nobody really expects isis in a Major Military offensive to try and push past those soldiers into baghdad, but they are expecting isis to ratchet up the pressure by expanding its vicious bombing campaign. Pelley Elizabeth Palmer in baghdad for us tonight. Liz, thank you. And today, president obama told is. Allies to expect a t. Ngterm campaign against isis. Heres chief White House Correspondent major garrett. Reporter president obama summoned defense ministers from 21 countries to andrews airbase outside of washington today but emerged with no new strategy to tight isis, also known as isil. As with any military effort there will be days of progress and there will be periods of setbacks. So we are united in our goal to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. Reporter its hard to find evidence either is happening, and privately, senior officials have begun to downplay destroying isis and instead talk about merely disrupting the terror group, keeping it under siege from the air until iraqi and Syrian Ground forces can reverse the tide. The white house points to the disruption of the siege of sinjar mountain in iraq as evidence the airstrikes are working. As for training a ground force of moderate syrian rebels, as of last week, recruitment had not even begun. Former state Department Official fred hoff advised the president on syria and isis. Is the administrations strategy in iraq and syria, by any objective measurement, working . Its too early to tell but certainly if we were to expect early, decisive results on the ground, no, its not working. But without a ground component, this is going to be an exercise ed futility. Reporter the defense ministers agreed isis is gaining ground and winning the propaganda war, but they said measure air strikes and better combat forces especially in iraq can stop the attacks. They pledge to do more to highlight isis atrocities against muslims. Pelley we received word late today a libyan man has been charged with four counts of murder in the 2012 attack on the u. S. Diplomatic outpost in benghazi, libya. He was captured by u. S. Forces this last summer. Hes being held in the washington, d. C. Area. Todays grand jury indictments include 10 charges that could bring the death penalty. The u. S. Ambassador to libya and three other americans died in that attack.

Their preliminary report yesterday created a lot of excitement. It signaled more welcoming attitudes toward many, including gays. Today, conservative bishops were speaking out against it, but allen pizzey tells us the final word will come from the bishop of roam, the pope. Reporter pope francis told the 200 bishops to speak frankly and without fear. What theyve argued out at the Halfway Point is nothing short of revolutionary. The bishops conceded the church must find ways to welcome and accept gays, unmarried, and divorced couples. It was a striking departure from the churchs previous rejection of all those living in sin. The church is starting to follow the popes lead in tailoring the message for todays more secular world, according to washingtons Cardinal Donald wueri. Were dealing with a different climate, a different moral climate, a different intellectual climate. And given that, we have to find ways of speaking so that the churchs teaching gets a hearing. Reporter Church Doctrine wont change, but there are atports of fierce resistance from conservatives but commentator and author john thavis thinks francis will prevail. I think what were seeing the at the sennett of bishops is the church as an institution finally getting on this popes wave length. Reporter the final text wont be approved until october of next year but for a 2,000yearold institution that normally moves at a glacial pace, what has emerged so far indicates a Seismic Shift into 21st century realities.

Passengers aboard an American Airlines flight got quite a scare yesterday. The interior wall of their jetliner tore open in midair. Heres transportation correspondent jeff pegues. Reporter many of the 184 passengers on board heard the same thing. James wilson said it started shortly after takeoff. And all of a sudden i heard this loud pop, pop, pop, pop, really loud, and a ripping sound. Reporter the planes interior wall panels were peeling away as American Airlines flight 2293 headed from dallasfort worth to San Francisco. The pilot tried to reassure passengers everything was okay. But then the pilot examined the damage himself and decided after more than 40 minutes into the flight to turn back to San Francisco. Reporter the plane has been in service for just over 19 liars. Like other boeing 757s, the fuselage is composed of materials like aluminum, titanium, and steel, which resist fatigue and corrosion. But it was the plastic paneling of the planes interior cosmetic shell that came apart and an air duct blew out. Steven wallace is former director of the f. A. A. s office of accident investigation. What could have happened with that plane, with those panels popping out like that . It appears there was no real structural damage to the airplane, so this was a very scary event, but the actual risk of any kind of catastrophic event was quite low. Reporter American Airlines says there was no loss of pressurization, and the oxygen masks were not deployed. Scott, the f. A. A. Is looking into what happened and why.

Thats next. , customers. His bold plan toe sure his doors stay open. Nt weather talent appears at wx center with generic pinpoint filling monitor then we take special pelley 50 years ago today, dr. Martin luther king jr. Was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for leading the nonviolent struggle for civil rights for African Americans. He did not live to see all the changes that the movement would bring, but Dean Reynolds found some in chicago. I accept the nobel prize for peace. Reporter on that day back in 1964, Martin Luther king had a question. Therefore, i must ask why this prize is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle. Reporter king knew the struggle he had been waging in the south was far from over, but it was only when he came north to chicago two years later that he saw the full challenge ahead. I have never seen, even in mississippi and alabama, mobs as hard and as hatefilled as ive seen in chicago. Reporter during the march for open housing, king was struck in the head by a tossed brick, and so was 16yearold Roland Radford, who marched at his side. The jeering, the people throwing stuff at us, firecrackers was really rough. Reporter this, on the citys south side, in what was then the allwhite neighborhood of gage park. The whole idea was to draw attention to the fact that there werent any African Americans in this area. Reporter and yet, the march that opened the way is largely forgotten, even here. Everybody have their Martin Luther king acceptance speech in front of them . Of reporter so High School Teacher Victor Harbison has been inviting marchers of the past to talk to the students of the present. Do you think the kids that youre teaching today see these people as extraordinarily courageous . Yeah, i do. I mean, dont you . Reporter Katie Marciniak is a sophomore. I always heard about Martin Luther king, but i never really heard about him in my neighborhood. Reporter shes heard from Roland Radford and fellow marcher susan oppenheimer, who urged students to take up a cause for their country. What will you look back on and say, this is what was happening when i was young, and this is what i did to try to make my little bit of a difference . Reporter do you think you gave the country a nudge . Thats a wonderful way to think about it. laughs a pebble in the in the river, yeah. Reporter the ripples from that time are still being felt, and as king said, one day men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land.
