General assembly is being told the Ebola Outbreak cannot be controlled without Massive International response. The virus has killed more than 4,000 people mainly in west africa. It says if the virus is not brought under control, the world may have to live with it forever. Quite a stern warning from u. N. Officials that the clock is ticking. Reporter a truly scary thought. Think about this, the leader of the u. N. Mission on this saying if you dont contain it now, the world will never be able to contain it. And he said the virus infection rate is doubling every three to four weeks, so basically the message to all of the countries across the globe is that this can be contained but only if the they act fast. This outbreak has moved out of rural areas. Its affecting a whole region, and its now also impacting on the whole world. And this outbreak is advancing quite rapidly, ahead of the control effort. And the rest of us are having to work really hard to catch up and overtake it. But we know what has got to be done, and together were going to do it, and our commitment to all of you is to achieve it within a matter of months a few months, rather than go slow and letting the outbreak cause a lot more harm and misery. So patty what sort of a window is the u. N. Saying the word has to act before its far too late . Reporter well, they are really getting these urgent pleas. They are saying dont talk about giving us a large amount of money, give us a small amount right now. They need to build infrastructure, hospitals, soap and water, and money to get that done, because they are saying it is just matter of months. Here is the statistics from the cdc, they estimate there could be more than a Million People infected by this coming january, so that is the sort of time line they are sending out. The very scary statistics they are using to try to spur action. All right. Patty culhane there in washington, d. C. Well theres growing fear that ebola is spreading outside of west africa. Seven people have taken themselves to a hospital in spain to be monitored as they have been in contact with the nurse who was infected her. Reporter the countries stricken by ebola say it is a tragedy unforeseen in modern times. Liberia, sierra leone, and guinea, want international assistance, money, medicine, equipment, and training. The world bank and the imf have pledged more than 500 million, but the u. N. Says it could cost 1 billion to stop the outbreak. The first u. S. Mission to liberia has arrived in monrovia. More are undergoing final training at their base in kentucky. These soldiers will help construct additional Treatment Centers and not have direct contact with ebola patients themselves. But they are still worried. Any time you send 3,000 guys and gals into a country that is infected with a disease like ebola, there is a chance the soldiers can become infected. Reporter enhanced screening is being introduced at five airports in the United States and staffs in britain are doing the same this weekend. Were taking all of the steps we can to keep our people safe here in the u. K. We listen to the medical advice and act on that advice and thats why were introducing these screening processes. Reporter in macedonia, Authorities Say the sudden death of a british man may not be linked to ebola at all. But the final results wont be available until saturday. In the meantime 25 guests at the hotel where he was staying have been quarantined. Doctors are taking no chances until the final tests are known.

Reporter in madrid doctors are continuing to treat the only confirmed case of ebola outside of west africa. Such is the fear here in madrid that even people without symptoms are presenting themselves for observation. Seven more patients have arrived here and presented themselves to be put into isolation, bringing to 14 the number currently under quarantine. The infected nurse remains, according to hospital authorities at least in a stable condition. On friday the spanish Prime Minister visited the unit. Translator both the European Commission and the World Health Organization say the risk that this disease can spread in the future is very low. I think we should send this message to all spaniards and make it clear this is not a message from the spanish government. This is a message from the World Health Organization and the European Commission its a and their experts. Reporter but his attempts to reassure the public fell short as his car was heckled and jeered. Islamic state of iraq and the levant has pushed further into the syrian town of kobani. The town has been surrounded by the group for more than three weeks despite air strikes. Stephanie decker explains. Reporter the u. S. Lead coalition has been active in kobani more air strikes have targeted isil positions. But the fight remains relentl s relentless. Translator we real enemy of kobani is not isil, its president erdogans government. We do not expect anything from the turkish state or nation anymore because of their stance against this atrocity. Reporter the United States has made it clear it wants turkey to step up militarily. And now the u. N. Special envoy to syria is urging the turkish government to open its border and allow kurds into kobani to help in the fight. Our appeal to turkey to take some additional action to stop the advance of isil. We need that or all of us including turkey will regret that we missed the opportunity to stop isil. Reporter but its clear the battle is a fierce one and it is ongoing, and another point that the u. N. Special envoy was that if kobani falls to isil the group will control almost 400 kilometers on the border with turkey. There is no mistaking these sounds, it is a constant battle taking place street by street. And many who have been forced to leave now watch helplessly with no idea of what will become of their homes. Were joined by a former Turkish Foreign minister. Isil already controls territory along the border, how much of a threat will it be per received as a threat to turkey if it falls to isil . Of course turkey doesnt want to become neighbors with isil of isis or whatever you call it. But it cant send troops on the ground because it will be regarded as a violation of the sovereignty of syria. Do you think that turkey and its western allies will agree on terms for turkish intervention against isil in some shape . If they agree, of course i do not represent the government position here i understand, but im just asking for your analysis of whether you think a deal is possible . Yes, my analysis is the following, without either the syrian authorities, bashar alassads regime inviting turkey or International Community to intervene there, or the Security Council decision allowing the International Community to intervene, i dont think that it will be advisable for turkish troops to go into the syrian territory, boots on the ground. [ inaudible ] the problem for the government . Doesnt turkey would be happy to see and participate in some sort of military intervention if the goal was wider than just confronting isis and confronting the assad regime; is that not true . Well, when the turkish authorities refer to this question, they always mention that assads regime should be should be put down. Whereas in my opinion, these two things should be separated, and now the biggest danger is isis or isil, and it is assessed to be dealt separately, because its a burning issue, whereas the International Community gives the impression that bashar alassads regimes fall is not something immediate and perhaps there may even be some sort of agreement by major countries in the west to cooperate with the regime in order to facilitate the transition from the present administration to something stable with or without assad. Is the reluctance of world powers to confront the assad regime while focusing on intervention to confront isil, is that causing some scepticism about the true intentions of the west and the world powers as to what they really want in syria . And whether they want stability . I dont think that there is a skepticism, but turkey wants of course to see the entire picture, and what turkey wouldnt like to be pushed into syria with troops on the ground and left alone there only to be supported from the air by the United States and the nato alliance, but not having their boots on on the soil. This will be theirs will be a violation, turkeys violation, the violation caused by the turkish troops will be more visible, more tangible, because its an invasion of the territory of the sovereign country. All right. Well leave it there thanks so much for your thoughts. Thank you. Well thats the view from anchor, lets get the view from washington, d. C. Where our state Department Correspondent rosiland jordan is standing by for us. Any signal from the state department on whether they think they are reaching a more common understanding with turkey over confronting isil . Reporter well, what they are saying, sami is the special envoy general john allen, and his deputy had very productive and constructive meetings with their turkish counterparts. And they stressed that there is an understanding and agreement that confronting isil is a shared goal of both the turks and of the americans. Now there is this question of how trying to basically strengthen some sort of ground unit against isil inside syria. The turkish have agreed to start training and equipping some of the syrian moderate rebels. Its not clear how quickly that would happen, but certainly that would be very, very important, because the u. S. Efforts to do the same is going to take at least a year, and would only cover about 5,000 or so trained fighters. Rosiland are u. S. Officials having any Second Thought about the effectiveness of their air campaign . I raised that question during the friday state Department Briefing here, and the response in short is no. This is marie harp. Its not just air strikes and Ground Troops and nothing in between. We know and the Defense Department has spoken more to this, the air strikes are hitting the targets they are intending to hit. This is part of a longer strategic comprehensive way we are going after isil, though. The air strikes have been effective. They take out isil positions, tanks, and weapons. That is obviously helping, and if you look at some of the air strikes going back months now to help retake the dams, they have had an impact. Reporter u. S. Military officials are going to be meeting with their turkish counterparts next week to talk more about the military cooperation, but they stress this is simply not a military campaign against isil they are also looking at economic and diplomatic ways of confronting what they say is a fundamental threat to international security.

Reporter on a day that was supposed to be about kim jung un and whether he would appear for the anniversary of the creation of the workers party, the big story has turned out to be the exchange of fire across the border.
