Good evening. The battle against ebola in this country is rapidly becoming a battle of political wills of who is leading this fight and how far we need to go to prevenlt an outbreak here. The decisions by the governors of three big states require 21day quarentines of those who have treated or come in contact with ebola patients in west africa has been a direct challenge to the obama administrations ebola strategy. Tonight as the white house pushes back, there is word from a New York Hospital that the condition of a doctor being treated for ebola has entered the next and more serious phase. Rehema ellis has the latest outside of bella view Bellevue Hospital. Good evening. Reporter good evening. With treatment dr. Craig spencer looks better than yesterday, adding that he remains in serious but stable condition. New yorks first ebola patient has been in isolation since he arrived here at Bellevue Hospital, as part of his treatment, spencer has received a plasma transfusion from nancy right bold. To share with someone else who needed it is a blessing. Reporter meanwhile spencers fiancee returned to their harlem apartment last night where she is under mandatory quarentine. Morgan dixon has a phone and tablet for video chatting while outside a Police Officer stands guard until her quarentine ends. Today floridas governor ordered twice a day monitoring for temperatures. After new york, illinois and flj go so far as to order quarentines for travelers to the u. S. Who have had direct contact with the ebola patients in west africa. Today governor Chris Christie defended his position. People in new jersey as my first and foremost are my responsibility to protect their Public Health and that is what i will do. Reporter doctors for diseases discussed whether it was an overreaction. If you do not come into contact with body fluid and somebody comes beak back from liberia, they are not a threat to anyone. A doctor told cnn, while she come ended them for the care, she is not sick. Back in new york city, the mayor visited Bellevue Hospital to thank those caring for dr. Spencer. They are the First Responders in this crisis and they are doing an absolutely extraordinary job. Reporter and we learned tonight that nurse Casey Hickock has reportedly retained a lawyer and plans to file a federal lawsuit claiming quarentine is a violation of her civil rights. Lester. Thank you. U. S. Ambassador Samantha Powers in guinea and her stop on the three west africa nations worst hit. She is the highest ranking u. S. Official to make such a visit and spoke exclusively with Chris Jansing who is traveling with her. Reporter from the time Samantha Power got off the overnight flight, the day became a race of meetings and formal welcomes, updates and photo ops. This one with the president of guinea. She wants to pressure other countries to do more than appreciate the u. S. Response. They, themselves havent taken the responsibility to send doctors or beds or a reasonable amount of money so i want to check out the situation on the ground assess the situation. Reporter guinea needs the help. It is one of the poorest countries on the planet and already lost about 900 lives to ebola. So at every stop, Health Protocols for all of us, including the ambassador who got a shot of Hand Sanitizer and had her temperature taken three times today. Billboards warn of the dangers of ebola but a majority of the people here cant read them. That is where religious leaders come in. The grand imam is sending instructions to the 12,000 mosques. But now this growing concern, that if American Health care workers have to be quarantined when they go home, they will stop going. It will hurt getting volunteers and i have a community of families here that would like to go home safely and securely. Reporter so for Samantha Power, this is about addressing the fear back in the united states. We need a way when they come home, that they are treated like conquering heroes. Reporter fear has almost overwhelmed guinea. One beautiful young survivor too afraid to show us her face said the worst part wasurviving, only to be shunned by family and friends. The ambassador said she understands the fear here and back in the states. Her own 5yearold son was afraid for her to come to west africa. She said the government may think about offering incentives to health care workers, maybe money or time off. Those decisions havent been made yet. Lester . Chris jansing reporting from guinea tonight. Tonight authorities still stching for a searching for a motive in seattle. The alleged attacker, a popular freshman killed one person and wounded others before take his life. That has stoked debate in gun con where the issue is on the ballot in november. Our nbcs joe fryer. Reporter churches across marysville face the difficult task of helping people deal with the pain. It is not going to define us. Reporter student austin james said he is related to the gunman and two victims. Confusing. A lot of questions. Just dont know why. Reporter witnesses say Jaylen Fryberg shot friends and relatives sitting at the table in the cafeteria. One girl was killed. Witnesses say fryberg took his own life. His first grade teacher ran toward him, trying to intervene. A lot of folks are saying shes a hero. What do you think . Well in my opinion shes a hero because she was there, unfortunately in this case the teacher chose to run towards an act. Reporter four victims are in intensive care, including jia soriano and shay lee chuck. The next couple of days will be crucial. And Andrew Fryberg and nate hatch were the shooters cousins. He used a 40 caliber handgun that was legally acquired but didnt say how he got it. It is the second shooting in Washington State. In june one person was killed at Seattle Pacific university. Now washington voters will decide on two gun initiatives, one requiring universal background check for gun sales, no matter the venue. It is clear it can save lives. It saves lives in other states and if it saves one life, i would support it. Reporter opponents say such an initiative wouldnt have stopped the mary asville shooting because fryberg was too young to buy a gun and get a background check. He took it from his family who did go through a background check to begin with. The problem is that is what happens in these cases. Reporter parents of children who were killed in the sandy hook shooting are coming to campaign for the initiative and now that visit may have more meaning after what happened here in marysville. Thank you. The u. S. Marine and british combat troops officially handed over control of two bases to afghan forces. In a ceremony this morning, the u. S. And british flags were lowered for the last time at two camps in mel man province, the deadliest for Coalition Forces throughout the 13yearold afghan war. More than 940 coalition trips have been killed, including 360 marines. At camp leatherneck they are leaving behind 240 million of equipment for the afghan army. 17 new u. S. Led airstrikes this weekend against isis targets in iraq and syria. Five of those were aimed at isis fighters seeking to overrun the city of kobani. The battle has raged for 40 days, claiming up to 800 lives, according to one activist group. Richard engel has been watching the fighting firsthand. Reporter the battle for kobani has become a test of wills. For over a month, isis has been fighting to take this syrian town near turkeys border and of the nearly 300 american airstrikes against isis in syria so far, half have been in kobani. On the ground, those defwending kobani are defending kobani are women, fighting shoulder to shoulder with men. And they are also filming their campaign. A young woman fires a machine gun captured from the enemy. Asked why shes smiling . She said our morale is good. We are fighting for our land and people. This man is called the immortal. He is a local hero because of his age and trigger finger. When i see something move, i shoot, he said. He gets choked up when talking about what is happening to his city. I cant talk, he said. Ive had so many friends martyred next to me. Reporter there are now funerals for kobanis fallen every day. Theyre burying the defenders here on the turkish side of the border it is too dangerous to hold funerals in ckobani now bu as soon as the city is free, they will dig them up and bring them home. Victories awaiting a kobani, far from certain. Back in this country. It is nine days until election day and First Lady Michelle Obama is taking on a key role that shes played before. Shes going out on the campaign trail in hopes her high Approval Ratings can help democrats maintain control of the senate. Here is nbcs kristen welker. Reporter with control of the senate hanging in the balance, it has been First Lady Michelle Obama heading into the closest senate races while the president is largely sitting on the side lines. I want to see lines around the election polls. I want to see you lined up. Reporter camer and chief is the role campaigner and chief is usually her husbands role. First ladies by definition have less baggage and seen as less political. With stops in iowa, and gather, they hope she will lead the same coalition that swept her husband into the white house twice. They are targeting women and africanamericans and that is where they have her directing post of her efforts. Reporter president s in their sixth year in office are unpopular. A moment often returned to as the six year itch and it is not clear that first ladies can swings the close races. I cant think of a first lady that has had a dramaticect on dramatic effect on an election. First ladies dont usually turn the campaign. Reporter republicans are inching closer to taking control of the senate with advantages in iowa, colorado and arkansas. North carolina is a dead heat. There are a whole bunch of races that could go either way but given the National Environment and the president s popularity and the dissatisfaction among the voters, would much rather be the republican in each of the races than the democrat. Reporter polls show voters are fed up with both parties heading into this election. It is unclear whether they will punish the president and democrats or take out their frustration on incumbent candidates. The first lady stumps for the governor of connecticut on thursday. Lester.

Voter in alaska, oregon and the district of district of columbiaba will decide on november 4th whether to join colorado and Washington State in legalizing the Recreational Use of marijuana. There is concern in colorado where pot is turning up in classrooms in forms teachers cant even detect. We get details from harry smith. Reporter in colorado, if a kid wants to bring pot to school. Pity the teachers. There is cannabis spray, cab seouls and lip balm. This principal said pot has moved from the parking lot to the classroom. This is the vapor pen. And that kid is not sucking on a pen, hes getting high. And you got that out of your high school . I did. I took it off of one kid. I saw one guy, and hell hold his breath and when the teacher isnt looking, she blows it out. And youre not going to be the student saying, hes smoking weed over there. You dont do that . No. The students we spoke with who dont use marijuana said it is easier to get marijuana from older siblings and any 18yearold with a medical marijuana card can buy their own. It is easier to be at a Football Game with friends and be high and not get caught than getting drunk because cops have got good at telling when teenagers are drunk. Reporter studies show marijuana has a serious effect on the developing brain. But some kids think if it is legal, how harmful can it be. They are teaching how bad it is for you and then when they legalized it, the kids are like, it is okay so it is good for you now. Reporter for now the kids are saying no to pot and no thank you to the stigma that has accompanied legalization. When you were from colorado, the questions were do you ski to school and now it is the use of marijuana . And how does it make you feel . I think it has given our state a bad rap that is embarrassing. Pot use among teenagers have gone down, perhaps the kids have seen enough to know better. Harry smith, nbc news, denver.
