Is nbc nightly news with Brian Williams. Good evening. There is more evidence tonight that the panic over ebola, the public fear of ebola is getting in the way of the facts surrounding ebola in this country, like the fact that it is very difficult to transmit. And the fact that thousands more will die of the flu this year. On friday the governors of new york and new jersey declared a blanket 21day quarantine for Health Care Workers coming back from west africa. By today they had changed their tune. After complaints by the white house and a nurse who felt victimized and criminalized, when she returned from volunteering in africa and spent the weekend in a quarantine tent. Now members of the u. S. Military are headed back from africa and into three weeks of quarantine. That includes a twostar general. And so tonight some distinguished doctors are speaking out, and the feds are now coming forward with new rules to try to reignin some of this chaos. Its where we begin tonight with nbcs kate snow. Reporter kaci hickox spent the weekend in a quarantined tent in the hospital today. The nurse became the face of the debate over quarantine. I think this is an extreme that is really unacceptable. And i feel like my basic human rights have been violated. Reporter after she complained loudly on cnn, hired a lawyer and threatened a lawsuit, state Health Officials said shed been symptomfree for 24 hours, so she could leave but is still subject to a 21day quarantine at her home in maine. Very happy that shes going to leave. Reporter new Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he took action because the federal government had not. Inconvenienced her for a period of time, thats what we need to do to protect the public. Thats what we will continue to do. Reporter in the last few days a patchwork of new guidelines. At least seven states have enacted some kind of quarantine. The state rules are not consistent, so this afternoon the centers for Disease Control outlined measures theyd like everyone to follow, putting people in four risk categories including a High Risk Group who should voluntarily quarantine at home for 21 days. You dont throw everyone into the same bucket of evaluation. For example, theres high risk, theres some risk, theres low but not zero risk and theres no discernible risk. You match that to the kind of monitoring you have. Weve had Health Care Workers returning to this country from west africa for months now. Why wasnt there a rule already in place . There were. There were guidelines there, but now looking at what can happen and the kind of fear and the kind of situation that might arise, we now want to make sure that people understand the stratification of risk. Reporter as for u. S. Military personnel serving in west africa, the government said today soldiers will all be quarantined on a military base in italy for 21 days before returning home. New jersey has plans to put people in an old Psychiatric Hospital if needed. Plans like that have activists concerned about the stigma being attached to ebola. We know that when people fear that theyll be quarantined, that theyll be less likely to report. We know that theyll be scared away from helping and actually addressing the very, very real and very Terrifying Public Health Crisis in west africa. Reporter now, we did get some good news here tonight. A 5yearold boy who was transferred to a new york City Hospital overnight with fears that he might have ebola, he has tested negative. He does not have the virus. Again, worth remembering, ebola is only transmitted through contact with bodily fluids. And thats why, brian, so many medical workers are more vulnerable, because they have that contact. Our National Correspondent kate snow on the story to start us off. Kate, thanks as always. And we wanted to let you know new Jersey Governor Chris Christie will appear live exclusively tomorrow morning to take questions on this. Thats on today here on nbc. Now, with travel to and from western africa suddenly a hotly contested topic, it is true that most american officials debating the response to ebola over there will never see it with their own eyes. That is not the case however with Samantha Power, the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Shes now the highest Ranking Member of the Obama Administration to travel to the region. Nbcs Chris Jansing is the only Television Journalist traveling with her and has our report tonight on the ambassadors journey to sierra leone. Reporter it took a plane, bus and water taxi to get Samantha Power to freetown. The almostempty airport another victim of ebola. To beat the disease more foreigners will have to come to help. But restrictions in the u. S. Have made people nervous about coming. The last thing we want is to stigmatize people doing work here. Reporter power is trying to get a handle on just how many Health Care Workers theyd lose here if theres a mandatory quarantine. Theres a category of people we need to be persuaded to come who are waiting back and wondering. So those are the people were in constant communication with. Reporter the topic came up repeatedly today across ten meetings and site visits for power, often carrying her green notebook jotting ideas. You take a lot of notes. I do. My background as a former journalist, i cant help myself. Reporter at every stop everyone washes their hands in chlorinated water and gets a temperature check. At least six of them today. And we travel with a local health officer. What power isnt doing is coming in contact with any ebola patients, to avoid the risk of infection. And shell follow whatever quarantine rules are in place when she gets back to new york. But its just that uncertainty who has americans who work here now unsettled. Thanksgiving and christmas is going to be tough because we do have people who want to go home and were going to feel not welcome in our own country. Reporter and shes heard these stories and says she gets it. Her own 5yearold son was nervous about her coming here. But she definitely wants to send a wider message that you can come to west africa and help and be safe. Brian. Chris jansing, sierra leone tonight. Now in this country an update on the Deadly School shooting we reported friday night near seattle. We are learning just how premeditated it was. Police are now saying the suspect had lured his five victims via text message to sit with him at a table in the cafeteria bringing them all together right before he opened fire. We get more tonight from nbcs joe fryer. Reporter the Marysville Pilchuck community paused for a moment of silence at 10 39 this morning, the time of fridays shooting. I ask us all now to take one minute to be silent and to reflect. Reporter it was especially emotional at the hospital that has treated four of the victims. Last night one of their patients, 14yearold gia soriano, died. The hospital read a statement from her family. Gia is our beautiful daughter and words cannot express how much we will miss her. Weve made the decision to donate gias organs so that others may benefit. Reporter another victim, zoe galasso, also died friday. She was honored at a candle light vigil where a family friend delivered a message from zoes mother. She loved her baby so much. Just let them know how much i love my baby. Reporter before killing himself Jaylen Fryberg shot five of his friends including two cousins inside the school cafeteria. The information we got is the five people targeted were invited to the table. Its our understanding he did so via texting. Reporter three victims remain in the hospital, 14yearold Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and 15yearold Andrew Fryberg are in critical condition. Nate hatch is now awake and breathing on his own. On twitter he wrote a message to the gunman, i love you and i forgive you, jaylen, rest in peace. Fryberg was a popular freshman, homecoming royalty. But some friends say they noticed a change in his demeanor a couple days before the shooting. He was having problems, i guess. If he had any kind of problem, he didnt tell me. I think the question that everybody wants is why. And candidly i dont know that the why is going to be something that we can provide. Reporter investigators said today the weapon used by fryberg, a. 40caliber handgun was owned by and registered to a family member. Theyre still trying to figure out how he got ahold of it. As part of the investigation, detectives are combing through phone records and text messages. Brian. Thank you for that report tonight from marysville, washington. The cruelty of the terror group isis knows no bounds. Today they offered more proof releasing a new video of british hostage john cantly. In it he is forced to play oncamera correspondent from the syrian city of kobani where a fierce battle for control has been waged for weeks now. He claims in what appear to be the scripted remarks forced upon him that isis is now mostly controlled by kobani in contrast to most of the media reports out of there. After 13 years of war, theres been a changing of the guard in afghanistan. U. S. And British Forces have officially lowered their flags and pulled out of helmand province, which became known to Many Americans of course as the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of the entire war. 378 american troops were killed in action in helmand, nearly 5,000 wounded. Its also the place where 80 of afghanistans opium crop originates. Its now up to the Afghan Forces to continue to fight there. U. S. Forces, by the way, are leaving behind 240 million worth of equipment for the afghan army hoping we never see it again used against us. In this country we are just over a week away from the 2014 midterm elections that have both parties sweating it down to the stretch. But perhaps the political headline that had most people talking today is about 2016 and the possibility of another bush versus clinton race for the white house. Especially after what jeb bushs own son revealed about the family plans. We get our report tonight from our political director, moderator of meet the press, chuck todd is on the road tonight in another critical battleground. Reporter theres been a bush 41 and a bush 43 in the oval office. Is there a bush 45 in the future . Jeb bush, the former governor of florida, consistently ranks among republican president ial front runners. And just this weekend bushs son, george p. Bush, a candidate himself for statewide office in texas, fueled speculation about whether his dad will run in 2016. I think its more than likely that hes giving this a serious thought. Reporter more than likely that hell run . That hell run. Reporter something his president ial brother endorsed back in may on cnn. I hope jeb runs. I think he would be a great president. Reporter today in North Carolina a state bush 41 and bush 43 both won twice, voters told us how theyd react to yet another bush. Im more concerned with the issues with the topics and where they stand on that then the fact that they have a famous last name. I just want whoever is in office to do their job. I dont care if they have the dynasty. I dont care. Reporter analysts say mainstream republicans think bushs executive experience and moderate positions on immigration and health care make him more competitive. I would find it concerning if i were a republican strategist to be running ted cruz or rand paul against hillary clinton. I dont think thats going to end up with a republican in the white house. Reporter jeb bush has left the door open, telling fox news and it turns out that not running has generated more interest than if i said i was running. Kind of weird. Reporter but the bush whose voice is perhaps the most influential, is already on the record. There are other people out there that are very qualified. And weve had enough bushes. Reporter now, people close to bush tell me that the one hurdle in this, brian, is the conservative turn of the republican party. If jeb bush thinks his more moderate positions on education and immigration wont pass muster with the skoempb conservative, hell take a pass. Chuck todd on the road tonight ridgeway, south carolina. Chuck, see you from your next stop tomorrow night. If you filled up your car or truck this weekend, then you know gas prices havent been this low in almost four years. Average price for a gallon regular is now 3. 04, thats down 30 in the past month. And it corresponds to a steep drop in oil prices.

The banisters loaded up their final few boxes walking through their empty house for what may be the last time. We live on an island we have active volcanos, we know this is always a possibility. You just acclimate. Reporter even in the daylight you can see smoke from the lava floe a few hundred yards from where we are. Thats why the crews are rerouting power poles here.
