centers for terrorists. but first, the world health organization calls the ebola crisis quote, unquestionably the most severe acute public health emergency in modern times. >> and growing concerns in the u.s. reflect that assessment. safety procedures are under review after a nurse identified as nina pham became infected. an aid organization says she has received a transfusion from ebola survivor kent brantley. >> but pham wore protective gear while treating thomas eric duncan before he died last wednesday. there had to have been some breach in protocol for pham to have become ill. it angered some people and then he later clarified his remarks. >> some interpreted that as finding fault with the hospital or the health care worker. and i'm sorry if that was the impression given. that was certainly not my intention. people on the front lines are really protecting all of us. the enemy here is a virus. ebola. it's not a person. it's not a country. it's not a place. it's not a hobblspital. it's a virus. >> now another patient in kansas is awaiting test results. he's a medic who recently worked off the coast of west africa. >> and a continent away another health care worker is battling ebola. she's the nurfirst person to contract the virus after treating a missionary who later died. the husband of theresa the ramiro ramos is calling for the regional health chief to resign. what has the reaction been like to that? >> reporter: well, the government at the moment is saying, or at least regional health officials are saying they have no comment on this letter. it's a very strongly-worded letter. and we're also learning new details from a family friend who's really becoming a spokesman for the family at the moment. for theresa ramirez' family and her husband. this is what we learned. under quarantine, worrying about his wife, xavier leans from a window at the hospital in madrid. on the floor above him, his wife teresa has ebola. he can't visit her, but their friend is able to visit him, get updates on teresa. >> translator: she is very tired. she's talking to her colleagues. she's very afraid of the night. the night is when she gets worse. >> reporter: the family friend has become the family's only independent link to the outside world. >> translator: she wants to fight. she has a pulmonary edema. that is worrying. we have 48 hours to see. >> reporter: she shows journalists a letter to spanish officials xavier had her type. he blames the government for not giving his wife, the nurse's assistant, enough training with her protective clothing while treating spanish missionaries infected with ebola. she tells us more. he didn't want her to take the risk. >> translator: in fact, theresa and xavier argued. he did not want her to volunteer. but she said it was her life, that two people needed her, and no one wanted to look after them. so she volunteered with the limited equipment the hospital had. >> reporter: according to her, xavier says he barely eats. his day's spent in tears and anguish over the plight of his wife, so near, yet so far. and in that letter to the regional health officials, to the health minister, in fact, calling on him to resign, xavier goes on to say that he believes that if spain took the precautions that other countries take, such as putting people into quarantine immediately after they've been or not quarantine, but putting them under observation immediately after they've been treating people with ebola, he believes this situation wouldn't have arisen, he is very, very critical of their health officials here. >> clearly her husband is understandably very angry. and in that letter her husband mentions she only got 30 minutes of training in terms of how to put on the protective gear. how are spanish officials changing their safety protocol as a result? >> reporter: well, the government has formed a special committee. that committee has been meeting over the last four days. there are spokes men from the committee held a press conference yesterday where he said that the government and officials were quite capable and had everything in place that they needed to contain this incident of ebola and that they were confident they could do it. this really seemed to be a message to the public here to reassure them that the government and health officials are in control and capable. but some of the health, the health care unions here representing health care staff believe that while the government has increased some of its training a little, it still isn't enough. it still falls far short. there are calls from some nurses who say, look, the sort of training we should receive on this equipment, wearing the protective equipment, we should have multiple rehearsals and practices so we're very skilled in using it. and indeed, this special government commission has said that the hospital here, space available here for people to put on and take off the protective suits isn't satisfactory and doesn't meet the requirements that would be expected in an institution dealing with an infectious disease like this. >> and nurses there in madrid too afraid to go to work. understandably. let's hope teresa recovers quickly. thank you. and we have an update on the nbc cameraman who caught the virus. ashoka mukpo has been receiving treatment in nebraska and tweeted out "feeling like i'm on the road to good health." >> but he says he's pained by how little care those in africa are receiving. >> reporter: racing through the streets of monrovia, an ambulance transporting a suspected ebola case. inside, a scared and helpless patient. he waits and waits, and no one comes. this is the reality of a system on the brink of collapse. over the weekend, angry health care workers clashed with the liberian president over wages. they've had enough. hazard pay and improved equipment among the demands. a work slow down is in effect at two of the city's four treatment center, and they're threatening to strike if the demands aren't met. ambulances have already been turned away here. >> currently, you have 3,000 deaths. multiply that by five. >> reporter: given those consequences, why do you still want to strike? >> i don't want to strike. but the president has to listen to the mass of health care workers out there. they are angry people. you don't want to have angry people knocking on your door through this kind of emergency situation. so the president has to listen and act very fast. >> reporter: an overstretched health care system beginning to crack when it can least afford to. the president personally now asking health care workers to stay on the job. doctors without borders msf run the city's fourth treatment center, the largest in the world. but they are nowhere near full. not because people aren't getting sick. the worry is it's because they may no longer be coming forward. >> so now we have enough bieds. but the system is not good enough, and it's taking time to rebuild the trust in the system. >> reporter: trust that think won't be turned away like so many have in the past and that they'll get the treatment they need. rebuilding that trust is another layer of complication. and one that could undo what gains have been achieved here. a lot has been said about the international community's response. but these are the men and women who have been risking their lives and staunching the wounds since the beginning of this crisis, and now they're asking that the world does not forget about them. night falls, and the ambulance remains, waiting. cnn, liberia. >> and one in 20 people who die from ebola are actually health care workers. protecting them from this disease, a top priority. a few hours ago, hong kong police began clearing out barricades from the edge of the road on the main site of the protest. it had been hampering access to the city's financial center. police did not try to clear out the protesters. this is the second straight day police have encroached on their encampment. >> reporter: an attempt to clear out the barricades on monday, the response from the demonstrators was to build even bigger barricades, using all sorts of materials, including the long bamboo poles used in construction as well as cement and plastic wrap, saran wrap. it was a show of defiance, but it did not move very potent, because the police came in with chain saws and were able to strip away these constructions in under an hour, and there were not many demonstrators really there to stop them. >> and riot police with shields were on hand to keep protesters from getting in the way of the tear down, but so far, fortunately, no reports of violence. for the first time in more than a month, north korea's leader has made an appearance, sort of. state run media has shown photos of kim jong-un. but we don't know when these images were actually shot. speculation has been building over the course of his long absence from the public eye. paula hancocks is live in seoul following this story. so paula, what else can we learn from these images? >> reporter: well, i think it will put pay to some of the rumors and speculation that we've been hearing for more than five weeks now. the fact that he has reappeared, though actually we don't know when these photos are from. and at this point we have not had a north korean television news broadcast. so we don't know if there is going to be footage of him as well. that's what we have to look at for this afternoon. but if you look at those pictures, it does give you some indication of where he's been. he's back with a smile and a walking stick. north korean leader kim jong-un is on the front page of the country's newspaper tuesday, doing what he does best, giving field guidance. no date given for the visit or the photos, but this should quell some rumors about where he's been for the past five weeks. kim jong-un had a profound limp before disappearing. state media admitted he was feeling discomfort. but it may be more than that, according to the personal doctor to his grandfather and familiar with the medical history of his father. both suffered diabetes, heart problems and stress. there are a lot of psychological problems he inherited she tells me. and there's a history of obesity. but what's more serious is that kim jong-un was made artificially to look that way. she suspects hormone shots to make him look more like his grandfather, a man many still have a fond memory of. she also believes his face is swollen due to painkillers. and his reappearance may be temporary, forced by the intense world-wide scrutiny on his disappearance. analysts i spoke to who have been following north korea for many years are not spicurprised that these photos have appeared. they believe it was health issues keeping kim jong-un out of the public eye, and not a coup or the fact he had been deposed. >> there's been a lot of anxiety, especially in the west, when kim jong-un wasn't seen for about 40 days. any indication that there was instability in north korea during that time? >> reporter: the expert opinion is that there wasn't instability. we heard from the south korean government saying that the leadership appeared normal. this was while he was still missing. and if you bear in mind there was also an unprecedentedly high level delegation that came from the north here to the south a couple weeks ago. it was effectively what analysts believe to be the number two, three, and four after kim jong-un. and they assess that they simply wouldn't have left north korea if there was instability, if kim jong-un was not completely in control. and then travel to what's effectively enemy territory. so they believe that shows that there was a level of stability. of course there are some that would disagree. you always have to have caveats when you're talking about north korea. but the assumption is among many watching this, is that he is in control and there is at least as much stability in the country as there was before he disappeared. john? >> that's one of those caveats. thank you. we appreciate it. well, coming up here on cnn, the battle for kobani. >> the last thing he said as he was dying. he said to his friends. don't abandon kobani. cnn speaks with a kurdish fighter who's been defending the city from isis. we'll be back in a moment. the year's largest variety. like new spicy siriacha shrimp, or parmesan shrimp scampi. as much as you like, any way you like. but it won't last long, so

with their advance on two fronts in both iraq and syria. iraqi officials say the fighters now control 80% of anbar province, west of baghdad. isis seized a military base. and about 180,000 people have now fled the isis advance. >> and to the west in syria, isis fighters appear on the verge of taking the city of kobani. and this is despite coalition air strikes, by the way. the kurdish defenders say they are outgunned by the heavily armed and well trained isis fighters. >> it is very difficult to get any information about what is going on. >> but we did manage to get some insight from the men who have been defending the city. take a listen. >> reporter: so that's, he's saying is one of the types of rockets that isis has been firing against the ypg positions. this man left kobani a few hours before we met monday. you see the turkish fight there? about 250 meters behind it is a market, isis controls that and everything behind it, he tells us. most of the explosions we see in the two hours we spent overlooking kobani are isis pounding the ypg positions defending the border crossing. the clashes right now are focused on taking the border crossing, he explains. if they take the crossing, they will break us. our wounded won't be able to get to turkey, and all routes will be blocked off for us. it's impossible, he says, for the ypg to keep holding isis off. the ypg has no resupply. isis has plenty. he says they're bringing rockets interest that hilltop and then they're bringing in their tanks from three different directions. from the east they have about 20 tanks. from the south, they have 13 or 14. and from the west they have seven he says. air strikes he tells us have not helped. what they need is heavy weapons to stop the isis tanks. they don't know fear, he says of the isis fighters. once i was firing an rpg at a tank, and as i was getting ready, ten isis fighters came and stood in front of the tank so that it would hit them. they died and the tank fired. when isis launched a surprise attack they shot and killed his father in front of their home. his brother died in battle shortly thereafter. and that is why he is going back to defend his land. my brother, the last thing he said as he was dying, he said to his friends, don't abandon kobani. cnn, along the turkey/syria border. >> and it is absolutely crucial that isis does not take control of that main border crossing into turkey, but how long ask can ypg hold off. >> a statement came out on monday, just a day after u.s.'s susan rice said turkey had granted permission. and here's what the turkish president had to say. >> translator: the regime in syria should be the target. you cannot solve this with kobani. what are you going to do with other places? because there are so many kobanis there. today kobani. tomorrow it would be aleppo. >> some kurds in turkey have been pushing for more coalition support to stop the isis advance. switching gears now, big changes may be coming for the catholic church. we'll explain how the possible policy shifts could benefit gays and divorced people. but i did. i'm mike, and i'm very much alive. now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. now a 7.3 magnitude quake has hit off the coast of el salvador. you have more details on this? >> we talked about this before. they had downgraded this to a 7.3, but what has happened as well upon further evaluation, the depth was not as deep as we had originally thought, which means that a lot of that energy, a lot of that shaking got to the surface here, 40 kilometers as opposed to the 70 kilometers we had before. so what that means is the damage will be more significant and probably more widespread. and that's why we've had already one fatality here. in fact, they're estimating in el salvador upwards of 47,000 people felt moderate and heavy shaking. so, again, this is my fear was not so much the tsunami threat, which is now over, but the shaking and the potential damage from that. so this was upgraded now a 7.3. we'll keep you posted if we get any additional information. let's talk about weather north of there. storms affecting millions of people and fatalities as a result of storms that rolled through arkansas. a confirmed ef-2 tornado. the winds were estimated at 120 miles per hour. that's category 3 hurricane. that's the kind of wind speed we're dealing with. we have the video from the region. let's show that as people can see what the scope of the damage here was. we're taking you here into arkansas. the one fatality was from the tornado and the another was from ma happens with these thunderstorms as they roll through with severe winds we had a tree come down on a vehicle, and that was the other fatality there. from a line of storms that stretched from texas all the way up north into indiana. and in fact, the severe weather threat is not over. upwards of 200 reports of wind damage coming into the national weather service. 100 miles or so southwest of little rock. we have a chunk of real estate to deal with. straight-line winds and even rotating thunderstorms. that is the tornado threat, and that's why we had that watch box, tornado watch for portions of the southeastern u.s. that will continue as we head into the day on tuesday here. so we'll watch this closely, and this does include atlanta, georgia. so if you're flying into atlanta, you're probably going to have significant delays through the early part of the day. >> tens of millions of people in that storm zone. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. well, some big changes could be coming to the catholic church. with a new interim report looking at everything from same-sex relationships to divorce. >> the paper says catholics should welcome and appreciate gays and lesbians, and it hints that divorced and remarried catholics may eventually be allowed to receive communion. >> the paper comes after weeks of meetings between bishops, priests and pope francis, and while it reaffirms the church's position that marriage is between a man and woman, vatican watchers say the tone is revolutionary. >> it's huge, frankly. we're seeing things that we've never seen before. bishops talking about gay relationships in a positive way. the vatican coming out, mind you this is an interim document, but bishops talk being about the talents and gifts that gays and lesbians bring to the church. the idea that conscience is very important in birth control, looking at cohabitation as not entirely negative. these are things that we've never heard at this level. >> yeah. some big changes. the report is a first step in a long process that could lead to a change in the church doctrine. we'll have a live report from the vatican in the next hour. but in the meantime, she was a nurse caring for an ebola patient in the u.s., but now nina pham is fighting for her own livee life. and welcome back to cnn. wherever you are around the world, i'm john vause. >> i'm zain asher in the headlines this hour, u.s. ebola protocols are under review after a nurse contracted the virus even though she wore protective gear. she treated thomas duncan before he died last week. and she has now received a transfusion from ebola survivor kent brantley. and new photos have been released of kim jong-un who has not been seen in public for more than a month. but we cannot confirm their authenticity, and the day they were shot has not been provided. but in these images, kim jong-un can be seen walking with a cane, an indication maybe he has had some health problems. and at least one person is reported dead after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of el salvador. it caused power outages affecting thousands. it prompted officials to initially issue a tsunami warning but that has been retracted. the director of the cdc says they will do more training at hospitals to raise awareness over ebola. >> this comes after a nurse treat add ebola patient and caught the virus herself. erin burnett has more. >> the health care area that lives in your area -- >> reporter: the critical care nurse, she's the first person to contract ebola inside the united states. she was one of dozens of health care workers who treated thomas eric duncan. he's the liberian man who died last week from ebola. but she was not among those being monitored. tom ha is a friend. >> she always put people's interests ahead of her own. >> reporter: pham was raised in a vietnamese family in ft. worth and graduated from texas christian with a nursing license. she just recently qualified to work in critical care. friends describe her as compassionate and outgoing. she posted this cartoon on her pinterest account. if i collapse at work, here's a list of doctors i don't want to work on me. investigators are still trying to figure out how shy became infected as hazmat teams worked through the night fumigating her apartment. many in dallas feared nina's dog might be put down. but for now they've assured everyone that bentley is safe and being cared for in quarantine. >> a lot of people speaking so highly of nina pham. we do western hish her a speedy recovery. >> it's fascinating how many people are worried about the dog. it's still unknown how nina pham contracted the virus. but some are angry that the cdc director said there had been a breach in protocol. >> one says more than 80% of the nurses surveyed say they haven't been given adequate ebola training. hospital workers are not prepared, the union says. >> we see at cdc that they actually are wearing hazmat suits and total protection to take care of these patients, to mobilize these patients, we're not doing that in hospitals. and we need to. and then the answer was when we ask that question was, well, you know, those are not easy suits to get in and out of. and people can get contaminated when they take them on and off. then we're not doing enough training. >> and a company in england says they're sending twice as many suits to africa. rosie thompkins visited the supplier to find out how well the suits protect against the deadly virus. >> reporter: this is the distribution center. the company signed a contract with the british government to provide the protective suits to be worn by those working in the front lines against ebola. can you see where all these suits are being packed up, ready to be sent. those white boxes, around 40 suits in each box. and they will be sent to sierra leone. and those working in the ebola zones. with me is richard sampson. i'm already half wearing one of these. you can tell us more about how they work. once i have this on i'm only half protected. >> the cover all will provide protection against liquid splashes. you'll be looking at wellingtons, gloves, respiratory protection and visor. it's allowing air to pass through in front of the face to keep you cooler but also to stop misting up on the inside of the visor, it's not a pair of goggles. you're less likely to fidget. and there's also chance of sweat being held in the goggles themselves. >> reporter: now sweat, that's another important point. this is a very papery thin material. that's no coincidence. these are going to be worn in very hot conditions. >> yes, they came to us with that particular problem, with heat stress for workers that are dealing with the patients out in west africa. >> it takes three days to train someone to wear these correctly, not just to get it on, but to get it off to avoid any contamination spreading. >> that's within of the critical elements to make sure that you don and doffcorrectly. >> reporter: on that point, that's why you only use these once, even though they are $40 each. >> they are designed to be worn once. they need to be incinerated in the correct manner. we were originally looking at 50,000 suits a month. the government doubled that to 100,000 suits. it's escalating its requirements for people out there. >> reporter: these will be sent directly out to those working at the front line. this is part of the government's pledge to contribute more than $200 million toward the global effort. a small part is the contribution of these suits but they are are a vital tool. >> it really is all about how you take the protective gear off, one tiny mistake can cost you dearly. >> absolutely convinced that it was a breach in protocol. if you look at all the people who have caught it so far in the u.s. and spain, they can't say how they caught ebola. all of these health workers who have come back to u.s. or spain. >> the busiest airport in london starts screenings. >>screening will begin and they'll have their temperatures taken. they'll be presented with a risk questionnaire. similar screenings in euro star terminals are expected to begin by late next week. >> and in france, the health minister says there are no plans yet for similar screenings, but they are still studying the problem. >> they don't work is the problem. >> people are still learning. >> 800 people had a fever. switching gears now. in missouri, a new wave of arrests during protests condemning the killing of black teenagers killed by police officers. one of the victims was michael brown. police say demonstrators were disturbing the embasspeace. >> we have been out here for four hours! >> reporter: alexis templeton, one of the most passionate voices of the movement, a ferguson resident, demonstrating since day one. >> who are we? >> mike brown! >> reporter: in many ways templeton and other adults represent the heart of this movement. they are closer to the age of mike brown, the unarmed 18 year old shot and killed by ferguson police officer darren wilson. and their non-violent passion has helped increase the support of people from different races and faiths. >> it shows solidarity. it shows unity. a lot of unity we haven't had in this country in years. and they're coming together for not just mike brown but for people of miochol or. they're coming together for me, humans, for all of us. >> reporter: today's protest was centered around the involvement of religious leaders like this rabbi from philadelphia. deeply religious men and women, black and white, lining up to get arrested. determined to raise their voices and be heard. to speak directly to police as individuals and as a group. >> there is no us against them. this is a we problem. it is we. and we all have to work to dismantle a system that unfairly privileges some people over other people. no matter what the injustice is. ♪ wade in the water >> reporter: in all, 42 rain-soaked protesters were arrested today, including dr. cornell west. but there were many more who did not get arrested, people of faith who felt called to be here. >> when i heard the call for clergy, i said this is the time to move and be present. so i think that's solidarity. michael brown is everybody's son, everybody's brother. >> who are you! >> mike brown! >> reporter: it started with the killing of mike brown. and despite the many issues that have grown out of the demonstrations, for alexis templeton and many others here, brown's killing remains at the heart of it. >> and our thanks to craig cheatham. >> tensions there still so high. when we come back, the first witness at oscar pistorias' sentencing calls him a broken man. welcome back, everyone, south african sprinter oscar pistorias is due in court soon for the second day of hearing on his sentencing. >> it's quarter of 8:00 there. he was convicted of the negligent killing of his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. and the olympian's therapist testified that steencamp's death may have left him permanently damaged. >> the impact on his perception of self and his opportunity for healing was destroyed by the malevolent reports and public comment. we are left with a broken man who has lost everything. his self-perception, his self-worth and identity have been damaged. to the extent that he's unlikely to fully recover. >> arguments for mitigation. we're dealing with a broken man. but he's still alive. he can still pursue his career. >> yeah, the defense team there pushing hard to make sure that oscar pistorias won't have to serve any prison time. our robyn curnow is monitoring the situation. >> and she breaks it down with kelly phelps. >> reporter: witness number one in the sentencing hearing, his own personal psychologist. she said all along she didn't want to be part of this trial. why did she say she changed her mind? >> she said that because pistorias was vilified and humiliated by the press coverage of the trial that she felt compelled to put on record her reflections, her personal opinion of him spent in therapy, of course with his consent of the and this is important, first of all, because it's evidence of his remorse, which is a mitigating factor and because essentially they're suggesting to the judge that he's already been punished. and she must consider this when determining this next form of punishment. >> and pun earnment, that's what all of this is about. a prison official coming into court today suggesting three years house arrest and community service, hearing the prosecutor standing up and saying that's shockingly inappropriate. what's your reading of all that? >> that really provides a key insight to us. because that term, "shockingly inappropriate" is a legal term and it is the legal boundary which must be reached before an appeal of a sentence can be granted. so what he was indicating to the court is that if they agree with that suggestion of three years, that the state is very likely to appeal that sentence. >> reporter: also, if it's very high or perceived to be very harsh by the defense, they will also appeal as well. >> of course, and this is the position that any sentencing judge finds themself in. she has to consider all the aggravating and mitigating factors, weigh them in the balance and try to strike an appropriate balance between them. >> kelly phelps there with robin kurnow. let's tour n-- turn now to the battle with isis. >> our stephanie elam has the story. >> reporter: as isis wages war in iraq, one u.s. war vet sees the brutal conflict unlike any other. >> it is frustrating to open up, you know, stories on cnn and see pictures of those that we had in detainment. >> reporter: andrew thompson says he was face-to-face with current sois members when they were in u.s. custody during the iraq war. his job was to gather intelligence on the prison population. he says despite the soldiers' best efforts, the camps became a breeding ground for what we now know as isis. >> space was a premium, and we simply could not separate everybody. we knew that there was going to be extremists within the moderate compounds. >> reporter: the extremists, he says, were in control, spreading their radical message to anyone who would listen and intimidating those who wouldn't, beating anyone caught indulging in western pastimes. >> they would find a radical volunteer to pick a fight with the detainee they passed judgment on. and then u.s. forces inadvertently helped enforce that punishment because then they were sent to solitary confinement. >> reporter: there were 4,000 detainees, many, he said, were innocent. >> that's the nature of war as well. some of these people were in the wrong lace at the wrong time. and quite frankly they see us at enemy. >> reporter: this professor says enemy detainees become susceptible to extremist views, a perfect scenario for baghdadi. >> he was held with large numbers of other people who as far as we can tell were not nearly as radical as he was. and we have reason to believe that many of them have joined isis, that that's part of his network. he used his position in prison as a soapbox. >> reporter: it's a recruiting tactic isis is now using on westerners, tailoring its message to anyone in the world, including americans who may feel disenfranchised by their own government. have you seen any signs of this here in los angeles, that this is actually happening? or has that not been an issue here? >> no, it's happening. >> reporter: that's why in addition to assisting the fbi, the los angeles police department has dedicated seven officers to community outreach, to meet regularly with the muslim community to strengthen its bond. still, the ones already lost to isis are the ones that concern him the most. >> there are probably 100 or more americans fighting over there today. so when they return, we're going to have the same issue. >> reporter: as for andrew thompson, he's speaking out now so that america's next push for democracy doesn't create the next insurgency. >> it's like a football game for your favorite team that you're watching. and they're just losing terribly. what can you do other than continue to watch? >> reporter: stephanie elam, cnn, los angeles. >> wow. that's not exactly reassuring. >> absolutely. that's going to be one of the problems for years. those prisons have been breeding grounds for
