Katy perrys answer to whether shell pay big money to perform at the super bowl. I am a champion and youre going to hear me roar plus, her amazingly accurate predictions on espns gameday. Hey, good morning, everybody. And the images are really striking. A clear sign of the anxiety across this country in the age of ebola. And here you see it. Officials in blue gloves escorting a sick passenger off a plane at newark airport. He was showing possible symptoms of ebola. Well tell you what happened next in just a moment. But we want to start with the news about Thomas Eric Duncan. Hes the first person to be diagnosed with ebola in america. He is getting worse. He is now in Critical Condition, this as Health Officials closely monitor dozens of people duncan had contact with. Abcs ryan owens is covering the story in dallas for us this morning. Ryan, good morning to you. Reporter dan, good morning to you. As you mentioned, the family the hospital, i should say, will only officially say duncan is in Critical Condition, but his family is telling us much more, and the news is not good. Thomas eric duncan has been in a dallas hospital for a week, and this morning his condition is worse than ever. His family tells abc news the liberian man is not conscious, hes so heavily sedated. Hes gone into kidney failure and is on dialysis. The ebola victim also cannot breathe on his own and is on a ventilator. Meanwhile, those most at risk, duncans girlfriend and her family, we blurred their faces to protect their privacy, are spending a second day inside an isolated gated fourbedroom home donated so the family could leave this cramped, contaminated apartment where duncan slept for several nights while he was contagious. The cdc is carefully watching them for any sign of infection. So far the news is good. We are confident that none of those with definite contact had any symptoms related to ebola. None of them had fever. Reporter the cdc says nine people in dallas are considered at high risk for infection. Those four family members, plus medical personnel like those who rode in the ambulance with duncan. Another 40 people who may have had contact with him are considered low risk. Also this morning, more questions about why duncan was initially sent home from this texas hospital even though he had a fever and told the admitting nurse he had been in africa. Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian first blamed a Software Error for not flagging duncans travel history. They now admit it wasnt the computers fault. Duncans records were right there for anyone to see. And right now at this moment we are in the most critical time for the family and others who may have been exposed to ebola. Typically symptoms show up eight to ten days after exposure. If you do the math, duncan has been here for seven days so were right in that window, paula, although nobody will get the allclear for 21 days, which is the incue base period for this disease. Not safe quite yet. Ryan owens, thank you for that report from dallas. Now drama at Newark Liberty international airport. An emergency scene when a plane landed and a sick passenger with ebolalike symptoms was rushed to the hospital. He does not have it, but air travelers are on edge, and abcs tom llamas is at that airport now with the very latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter paula, good morning. Getting through the tsa or worrying about legroom can be stressful enough. Now imagine taking an International Flight and thinking the passenger next to you has ebola. It happened to some travelers here at newark, and experts say that scare comes from people here truly worried, a nation on edge and that this fear is the new normal. This morning, fears on flights running high after this scare in the air at newark airport. An Airline Passenger showing signs of ebola midflight. When we knew something was really wrong, they said the cdc was there. Reporter a plane left brussels headed for newark when a man on board suddenly became violently ill. Officials telling abc news that the passenger was displaying flulike symptoms and began vomiting during the flight setting off alarm bells. We were told that someone was sick on the flight, basically said there was a medical emergency. Reporter moments after the plane landed in newark, the cdc jumping into action escorting the man and his daughter off the plane and rushing them to an area hospital. But the other 253 passengers on board told to sit tight. It was just extremely disorganized. There was nobody in charge. Reporter one passenger snapping this photo as Homeland Security entered the cabin. Another saying he spoke to the sick man just hours before. That was the first time i had come very close to someone who is a possible suspect of ebola. The flight crew has to be incredibly concerned when somebody gets ill, but a flight crew has a professional responsibility, and thats part of it. Reporter in this case the man and his daughter given the all clear. Test results showing neither have the ebola virus, but experts say this incident, an indicator that airlines will continue to be on high alert. This may be the new norm when somebody shows signs of an illness that could be consummate with ebola. Reporter now, the rest of the passengers on that plane were essentially quarantined on the jet for almost two hours and also had to fill out special paperwork even though the two passengers in question didnt have ebola. The cdc saying theyre taking no chances. Paula, dan. Of course not, a nightmare for those passengers. Tom, thank you. Abc news chief health and medical editor dr. Rich besser has just come back from the hot zone in africa. Rich, good morning to you. Good morning. Lots to discuss here but let me start with the question that is undoubtedly going to be on the mind of many of our viewers. Is it safe for you to be boarding airplanes as youve just done and interacting with your family members at home and then coming into the studio here . Yeah, it is. The thing about ebola is you cannot transmit the disease unless youre sick. And so abc news talked with cdc and went through the guidelines. I know the guidelines. If i were to develop a fever, then i shouldnt be here. I shouldnt be around people, and so im monitoring my temperature twice a day. I took it before i came into the studio, and it means im safe. It doesnt mean that everyone is going to be comfortable around me but it means that theres no risk of me spreading this disease to anyone here or anyone i meet on the street. And youre being very sensitive. I want to let our viewers know, the first thing he said to us today, are you okay with me being here and we are undoubtedly but you have made two trips with your team to liberia in the last month. Can you talk about the extraordinary precautionary measures while youre there to stay safe . I went with my producer adam desiderio, and we were extremely careful. The things that you dont see on the air because they dont make tv. But after every interaction spraying our hands, our feet, our boots down with bleach. The interactions that people saw of me with patients on an ebola ward, i was fully suited up, and there were two people watching every interaction i had to make sure i made no mistake. Being on that ebola ward with that gear was probably the safest place for me to be but on television it looks very frightening. You know, the scene on the street where were shooting a burial, well, theres no way of getting ebola looking at someone who has ebola, and so the people around me who were going to pick up that body, they needed to be suited but taking a picture of that was very safe. Okay. Lets get your analysis on some of the developments on the ground, both here and overseas. Weve just seen tom llamas reporting on this air scare at newark. How worried should we be about contracting ebola on an airplane . Its very remote but its possible. If eric duncan had gotten on the plane four days later, he might have developed his early symptoms of ebola on the plane. It would have been fever and fever by itself is an indication you might have ebola but it doesnt mean that youre spreading ebola. Its when you start to spread body fluids that youre a real risk. You know, i took our viewers behind the scenes at the quarantine station at newark airport, and there there are teams that are ready that know what to do so theyll come on the plane fully suited and be able to get the person off and then theyll assess the risk of everyone on that plane and see who needs monitoring. And you were just at the source of ebola. Is america doing enough to stop ebola at its source in africa . America is doing a lot more, but still not enough. You know, the president has said theyre going to build 17 hospitals. Theres no sign of those going up yet. The 25bed unit, its slow, its not going up yet. We need to do more. The way america stays safe is to knock ebola out of west africa. Not by putting up walls. It just doesnt work that way. This thing is not going to end until we deal with it over there. Thats right. Rich, welcome home. Were very glad to have you back. Great to be here. Thank you, doctor. We move on to another big medical headline this morning involving the mysterious respiratory disease known as enterovirus virus d68 afflicting children in 43 states right now. It has now claimed the life of a preschooler in new jersey. This is the first confirmed death, and abcs Mara Schiavocampo is on the story. Mara, good morning to you. Dan, good morning. That virus is spreading quickly and Health Officials say it could get worse. This as it has officially now claimed its first victim, an otherwise perfectly healthy 4yearold who died suddenly. This morning, a new jersey family grieving over the loss of their young child, eli waller. They say the 4yearold went to sleep after staying home sick from school and never woke up. I think elis case is the exception to the other cases around the country. He had no signs of any illness that night, and this passing was sudden and shocking. Reporter just a day later, the cdc confirming the child had enterovirus d68, the respiratory illness impacting children across the country. More than 500 cases reported in 43 states since midaugust. On friday the cdc reporting the virus was also the cause of elis death. Health officer Jeffrey Plunkett says the family is devastated. They are strong. Theyre passionate about his memory. Reporter this is the fifth fatality among children who have had enterovirus, but new jersey congressman chris smith says this may be the first case where the virus alone is the true cause of death. Fatalities have been few and that have been confirmed. This elis passing, may, indeed, be the first. Reporter now a preschooler at the same school is also being tested, and amidst fears the illness will continue to spread, although for most children enterovirus 68 is no more than a cold, Hamilton Township School District is sending out this notice explaining symptoms and emphasizing that parents should keep kids home from school and seek medical care if they show signs of increasing respiratory difficulty or symptoms that appear to be worsening. Now, elis school has put in place a new cleaning schedule to sanitize classrooms. Health officials do remind us, though, that for most children, this wont be any worse than a common cold but still very scary. So devastating for that family. Just unspeakably sad, mara, thank you. Just a reminder to be vigilant. Thank you very much, mara. Now the desperate plea from the parents of an american held hostage by isis for their sons release. After beheading a british aid worker, the terrorists are now threatening that this former army ranger will be the next execution. Abcs jeff zeleny has the very latest from washington. Reporter this morning a solemn appeal from the parents of an american held captive by islamic extremists. And our hearts ache for you to be granted your freedom so we can hug you again. Reporter their son is peter kassig, a 26yearold from indiana who was providing humanitarian relief in syria when he was captured one year ago. Hes shown here in the latest isis video kneeling in the desert. His kidnappers say hes the next in line to be executed in retaliation for u. S. Air strikes on iraq and syria. Weve asked our government to change its actions, but like our son, we have no more control over the u. S. Government than you have over the breaking of dawn. Reporter in their weekend video, ed and paula kassig hold a picture of their son and plead for his life. At an early age our son was inspired by his grandfather to do humanitarian work. When he saw the suffering of the syrian people, he went to turkey and founded an organization to provide aid and assistance. Reporter hes a former army ranger who served in iraq. His parents say hes not political. He embraced islam and found a calling helping syrians caught in a brutal civil war. We are so very proud of you and the work you have done to bring humanitarian aid to the syrian people. Reporter their appeal comes one day after the beheading of british aid worker alan henning. Hes the fourth westerner to be executed in six weeks. We implore those who are holding you to show mercy and use their power to let you go. Reporter now, peter kassig is one of two americans believed to be held by isis fighters. The white house saw this emotional appeal too, but Officials Say the military campaign in iraq and syria is only beginning. Dan. Jeff zeleny, thank you. You know, as you may remember the parents of two of the american journalists who were murdered by isis in recent weeks have publicly complained about how the white house handled their cases, so is there anything the Obama Administration can do for peter kassig . Lets bring in Abcs George Stephanopoulos who will be hosting this week later this morning. Good morning. Good morning. What kind of options does the white house have here . Not a lot. The white house is against paying ransom for hostages believing that would incur more hostage taking. That is off the table right now. Now the white house has in the past considered rescue operations. They tried a rescue operation for james foley, unfortunately, he wasnt at the location where the rangers showed up. And if an opportunity arose to rescue kassig, they would try that as well, but any kind of paying ransom off the table. Let me switch gears and ask a political question. We are now 30 days away from the midterm congressional elections, also a lot of governors running, as well. Tv screens across the country are filled right now with political ads. Where do things stand because the big question is will the republicans be able to take back the senate . What are the odds at this point . That is the big question. Theyre almost certainly going to gain seats in the house but they already have control of the house. To get the senate, republicans would need to pick up six seats in november and right now, they are ahead in enough seats to do that, to take control. Of course, we have a month to go as you say, and most of these races, these competitive races are very, very close right now so its no guarantee at all that republicans will take control but they are favored to do that right now, and, dan, we should say we may not know on Election Night whether republicans have taken control. If the races is in georgia and louisiana are close there could be runoffs, a couple of weeks later. It takes an awful long time to count the votes in alaska and already going to be a late night any way and may not know on Election Night if theyve taken control. Full employment act for George Stephanopoulos and his team. George, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. By the way, we should say that george has a huge show this morning. Lots of coverage of course on ebola and the race to contain the first case diagnosed here in american soil. George will be interviewing the head of the cdc, dr. Tom frieden, and he will be grilling the mayor of dallas on that citys controversial response to this crisis all coming up on this week later this morning right here on abc, george, thanks again. Thank you. Thanks, george. Huge show from george and huge newscast from ron claiborne. I dont know about huge but medium size. Good morning to you, paula and dan. Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, everyone. In the news we begin with the texas ebola patient who is now on a ventilator and fighting for his life. The family of Thomas Eric Duncan tells abc news that the liberian man is unconscious, heavily sedated and in Critical Condition now. The cdc says nine people in dallas altogether are considered at high risk of infection because of contact with that man. And a desperate plea from the parents of american peter kassig for his release by the isis militants holding him in syria. His kidnappers have threatened to execute him in retaliation for u. S. Air strikes against isis targets in syria and also iraq. And some of the prodemocracy demonstrators in hong kong appear, appear to be withdrawing after a week of street protests. Hong kongs chief executive vowed to take all necessary actions, his words, to remove protesters from key roads and surrounding government buildings by a deadline set for monday. And talk about a marathon. The sf giants and Washington Nationals tyke game two of the Division Playoff to 18 innings, 2 games basically tying the playoff record for extra inning games and also setting a record for taking the longest to play a postseason game, clocking in at 6 hour, 23 minutes. The giants, my hometown team, won 21. Interesting. Usually you root for the yankees. Youre fluid in this situation. Im a yankee fan. But also have a final note about something you saw right here on gma. A story about the kayakers rescued after a shark attack in california. It included a brief soundbite with someone who was not actually involved in the incident. We regret that mistake. Hey, ron, thanks. Rob, we asked you yesterday if you could do something about this cold weather thats coming in. Yes. Have you been able to do something . Yes, yeah, i made it colder. All right. Come on. Get out there, embrace it. Fall has arrived, my friends. Chilly to start your day. A live shot out of boston where temperatures are in the 40s now but the sun creeping over the horizon. And its still pretty strong this time of year so youll bounce back nicely. A nice little bit of rain for you, just a over a quarter of an inch. You need that. 61 for the high today so it will be a beauty across much of the northeast. Driving that cool air from the northwest down, but buffalo some lakeeffect rains across parts of the Eastern Shores of the great lakes. So a little bit damp up there in upstate new york. Meanwhile, where its cool down across the deep south, return flow will bring in humidity and heat into texas. Temperatures there will be in the upper 80s. But the real heat really is out to the west. A bit of a yin and yang. In the middle we start to moderate the chilly temperatures. Areas that saw snow will see temperatures bounce back to more seasonable levels. 91 for the high in los angeles. Another hot one, this Weather Report brought to you by bp, and if its a cold winter, you know, a little bit more oil to burn i guess. Heat the house. Paula is not talking to you because you refuse to tailor your forecast to her dires. Im looking right through. The longrange forecast, it will continue to get cooler as we head towards christmas. Thank you for the obvious. I appreciate it. Wear a coat. Coming up on gma, the bubble man. The human hamster. He needs help. Why the coast guard had to rescue this guy floating around the Atlantic Ocean in that thing. I kind of want that thing. And does katy perry know how to pick them . Results from her gameday predicts and what shes saying about the possibility of playing in the super bowl up ahead in pop news. Singing. When folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs.

Rthritis, i had intense joint pain that got then my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel. Im phil mickelson, pro golfer. Enbrel helps relieve pain and stop joint damage. Ive been on the course and on the road. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. Enbrel helped relieve my joint pain. But the best part of every journey. Dad . Is coming home. Ask if enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists, can help you stop joint damage. All right, so this is admittedly a bit of a weird one. This is a coast guard rescue caught on camera. The guy they were helping was in a giant inflatable bubble. Were laughing but we shouldnt be but we cant help it. No, we should be laughing. We should laugh. He had big plans for his unique voyage but you might say his bubble, yeah, it was burst. Pedro andrade with our Sister Network fusion has the story from miami beach, florida. Good morning, pedro. Reporter hey, dan. Hey, paula. Good morning, so reza baluchi has been breaking records for decades. But his latest stunt this past week has really stirred up some big waves. Take a look. You can either stop your voyage and come back to shore or you can choose to continue on your trip, but the coast guard cutter will be leaving. Reporter listen to this dramatic 911 call. The coast guard warning the man operating this inflatable bubble of rough waters ahead. If you run into trouble, theres no guarantee that we are going to be able to get to you in time or even find you. Okay. Im continuing to go. Reporter 42yearold reza baluchi refusing help wednesday on his oneman mission in this contraption called a hydropod. Like a hamster inside a wheel, the World Class Athlete planned to walk on water more than 1,000 miles from miami to bermuda making him a reallife bubble boy. But baluchi ran out of steam Early Saturday Morning signaling the coast guard for help three days after its initial warning. Watch this incredible video. The coast guard lifting him to safety. For this case because it was so complex, we elected to launch not only the h 60 helicopter but a c130 patrol aircraft. Reporter the crew locating baluchi 70 nautical miles off the coast of st. Augustine surviving only on protein bar, bottled waters, gps and satellite phone. Baluchi exhausting himself and his resources. We lowered the rescue basket and picked up first mr. Baluchi into the cabin of the helicopter and then we recover ed recovered our rescue swimmer from the ocean below. Reporter now, this wasnt baluchis first time behind the wheel of the bubble claiming a successful 30mile journey from newport beach, california, to Catalina Island earlier this year. Abc news reached out to him for comment and did not hear back. But like the hollywood version, this reallife bubble boy also lives to burst another day. I made it reporter all right. So believe it or not, once the paramedics woke baluchi up, he kept asking for directions to bermuda and the good news is hes doing just fine and he will probably be thinking i know and he will probably be thinking of new ways to break records in the near future. Dan, paula. Im glad hes doing well and i admire his persistence. But i want to know, is the coast guard going to send him a bill for the rescue . Because that was a lot of resources we used up to rescue that guy. Anyway only 930 miles to go. Yeah. It was a training run for him. Pedro, thank you.

Work it out, sweetie. Work it out. Work it out, sweetie. Work it out. Looking for something better. Thats the way i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine bod testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Physical activity. But keeping that mix balanced, isnt always easy.

Leave it to katy perry to add a little flair to espns college gameday. She was the shows special guest and definitely livened things up as she tends to do getting a little crazy even throwing corn dogs at one point and loving that hot pink fuzzy football jersey. She also talked about the possibility of performing at the super bowl.
