CNNW The Lead With Jake Tapper November 11, 2014

Gets hijacked by the interweb. Bill cosby learns that no amount of pudding pops can stand in the way of the internets unforgiving memory. Good afternoon, everyone. Im jake tapper. This is the lead. A Major International summit where president obama and his nemesis Vladimir Putin have been seen talking three times. In fact, while the two World Leaders were chatting, a moscow staterun media said the peaceful use of atomic energy. The timing of that announcement fits a familiar pattern of agitation casting more doubts on that november 24th deadline for the still unresolved Nuclear Negotiations between iran and the west. Meanwhile, putin is stirring up attention of a different sort. Cnn White House Correspondent jim acosta is in beijing. Jim . Reporter it wouldnt be a foreign trip for president obama without tense moments with Vladimir Putin. President obama flew all the way to beijing. If china and the United States can work together, the world benefits. Reporter but hes finding just as much action at the apec summit with russia. Obama bumped into putin three times discussing iran, syria and the crisis in ukraine. Putins military moves in ukraine could lead to more sanctions. The sanctions have yet to sufficiently affect russias calculus as it relates to ukraine. Reporter stunning news comes as the u. S. And russia and other world powers are up against a november 24th deadline to reach an agreement to contain Irans Nuclear program. But putin showed in china he still has a knack for overreach and placed a shawl over chinas first lady. The incident caused such an uproar, it was removed from state media. Mr. Obama also offended some chinese sense abilities when he was seen chewing gum, a distraction from the administrations human rights concerns. We care about universal values and thats going to be part of how we judge the status of the relationship. Reporter the heavy hand can be felt everywhere from where social need media is all blocked. Clogging the roads and factories to the countrys capital to almost erie levels. One of the key questions for president obamas legacy in asia is whether you can see beijings approach on human rights or is there still a wall between china and change . With the great wall flooded with tourists daily, theres no shortage of pride. But michael just wants to join facebook. No facebook . Yeah. No facebook. How to say . Reporter in china where communist leaders and capitalism is both revered, president obama is finding trade deals here are on a faster track than freedom. President obama and Vladimir Putin will have a chance to talk later this week when they attend a g20 summit in australia. Jake . Jim acosta, thanks. One of the issues being hotly contested is the battle against isis in syria and iraq. They are unsure if Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi is still alive but the brand of evil continues to circulate on the internet. Theres another propaganda video that has been released. This video flashes more menace. Cnn Senior International correspondent arwa damon is posted near the border. As always, American Military officials have feared antiaircraft weapons falling into isis hands. Now it looks as though they are using them on the battlefield. What more can you tell us . Reporter it seems to be the case, jake, and perhaps just as concerning is this reality that they have gotten their hands on a significant arsenal and vehicles, military vehicles made in and of itself. Now, this video is about 20 minutes in length as is isis status quo very highly produced and quickly put together. A compilation of best of isis fighting videos ranging from them shooting down the iraqi helicopter to a number of other battlefields and successes that theyve had. Pretty dramatic images where you see isis looking for cover as they move forward in the battlefield. A lot of it is heavily focused in kobani along the syrian turkish border. Its also the focus of isis most recent attempt to take over yet another part of syria. The video also continues to try to send messages out targeting westerners who may be tested to join in their jihadi efforts. Again, we have an example of how isis is launching this battle in terms of trying to gain control, not just in syria and iraq but also on multiple platforms, including the media. All right. Arwa damon in turkey, thank you so much. Stay safe. Turning now to our National Lead and a moment of celebration in the fight against ebola along with something of a scare, new york city mayor bill de blasio announced dr. Spencer who contracted ebola while treating patients in new guinea is now ebolafree. Another ebolarelated fear, mushrooms, this side on the other side of the globe and question whether terrorists are trying to weaponize the deadly virus. Two small vials are going to be tested whether the bottles contain ebola. The new Zealand Parliament received suspicious packages containing vials with an unidentified liquid with a note inside claiming each bottle held samples of ebola. Sky news claims the shipment came from a jihadist group. Authorities are investigating. Here to talk about the ongoing fight against ebola, the man in charge of the white houses response to the virus, ebola czar ron klain. Is it ebola . Is there a legitimate worry that a terrorist group could actually weaponize this . I think the odds are high that this turns out to be a hoax but the new zealand officials are taking no chances. As you mentioned, they are having the vials tested. Were always watching to see is terrorist groups will use a chemical or biological agent. Were not aware of any threat that ebola would be used that way and it seems unlikely but were watchful and have an eye on it. The hospital in dallas and, frankly, the cdc, both of them before you came on the job, both seemed to be caught flatfooted initially on the ebola crisis, despite months of warnings and preparation. Wh what happened . What exactly wasnt working . Jake, we tried to learn the lessons from dallas and tried to make sure since then weve increased the standards for health care workers, weve increased the training and preparation and what youre seeing is a result of all of that is what happened in knenew york, brought to the hospital immediately and sent home today. So its a milestone today. It doesnt mean that our work on ebola is not done. It clearly isnt. It doesnt mean that we need to let our guard down. We absolutely cannot. But what weve shown is we can isolate an ebola patient and make sure he doesnt infect other people and we can send him home safely and healthily. Ron, both you and the president have expressed concerns by officials that seem to be based on fear, in your view and the president s fear, and not based on science, such as some of the quarantines. But im sure you understand it was the texas hospital and the president s initial incorrect assurance that in some ways created this mistrust amongst the public, right . I dont know about that, jake. What i do know is we put out our cdc guidelines on monitoring and travel on october 27th. Since then, we have become the national standard. Theres no evidence of this disease being passed and can result in a safe and effective treatment. Ron, youre respected for your management skills but you dont have any health care experience. Im wondering if you hesitated before accepting the job from president obama. Well, i dont know about hesitated. I took the responsibility here very greatly. The president has great advice on Health Care Matters from dr. Tony fauci who has been an adviser for four or five president s. My lead is not to give medical advice. Its to fight ebola here at home and in africa, to bring the agencies together to help develop policy and get things to the president quickly and effectively. Thats something that ive done before and what im doing. Its humbling to be working with the kinds of people like Craig Spencer who are on the front lines, who are fighting this disease, who are taking chances to fight this disease. Those are the people really getting the job done. Those are the people we should celebrate and honor and on veterans day we should also remember our 1900 men and women in uniform in west africa helping to fight the disease. Ron klain, best of luck. And are other americans shivering in the single digit temperatures . Enjoy it while you can because its headed east. Will there be snow as well . Thats next. Nrz receptionist gunderman group.

The calendar may say autumn but thanksgiving is just two weeks away. Theres a severe cold front creating dangerous conditions. Heavy snow pounded marquette, michigan, on tuesday leaving roads virtually impassable. Hundreds of accidents in Minnesota Statewide leading to one fatality. In billings, montana, the temperatures dropped to the Single Digits and thats where we find cnns gary tuchman braving the cold. How is it going there, gary . Reporter jake, were downtown and its a virtual ghost town. Why is that . Montanans are used to frigid, Winter Weather but were nowhere near winter. Were right near autumn. This past week, they were playing here and it was 57 degrees on saturday. 53 on sunday and then the temperature has dropped dramatically. The possibility exists that overnight, billings, montana, this very cold city in the northern part of the United States could hit a record because the lowest temperature ever on november 12th is 12 below zero. The temperature is expected to get down to 5 to 9 below zero tonight. Very close to a record. That gives you an idea why the sidewalks and streets of billings, montana, are empty when normally these people can deal with anything. Its just unusual this time of year. The zoo in montana, we saw a bald eagle shivering. Were told that the bald eagles typically shiver in cold weather. Everything is okay with him. We saw a grizzly bear. They took him out of the zoo. Two weeks ago, today theyve had a grand total of three people that have been to the zoo because of the cold weather. Its in the Single Digits but near record lows in the overnight tomorrow morning. Back to you. Gary tuchman, thanks. I know its tough to talk in weather that cold. I remember doing a standup in north dakota. How cold will it get and when will temperatures start to fall in your area . For that well turn to chad myers. Its estimated that the 200 Million People could be impacted by this system. What could we expect over the next few days . Were all not going to get down to zero but where gary was, it is a dry cold. No, i guess not. I digress. Cooke city, 22 below. Glacier national park, minus 14. A decent day tomorrow but by thursday and friday, boy, it really goes downhill. Some totals, michigan, 26 inches of snow already. We showed you a couple of spots here across minnesota closer to minneapolis. Those people are still getting very heavy snow at this hour. And more to come. Lakeeffect snow machine when you get this cold air coming across an unfrozen lake, you can get some significant snow even after the low has gone by. Ask the people of buffalo, new york. They know all about the lakeeffect machine. For today, 64 in new york. 62 tomorrow. A significant cool down as the front goes by. I want to put this into perspective because everyone thinks that the sky is falling. In 1911, so 11 11 11 it went from 83 to 17 on the same day. Now, thats a cold front. Chad myers with some perspective. Thank you so much. When we come back, a 60year lease worth more than a billion dollars. What is google planning by renting a former nasa air field.

E financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise welcome to the lead. Google is going to pay nasa 1 billion for this large hangar.

What have you learned about googles new mission . Well, this is right around the google headquarters. They have been using it for their google jets. But they are going to pay 1 billion to rent this facility for 60 years. That suggests some big plans may be in the works. Liftoff. Space shuttle atlantis. This stunning image was assembled by a french filmmaker but it could become the Corner Office view for google. That is, if the internet giant wants to build a Space Program and with 50 billion a year in income, Piper Jaffray says they sure can afford it. I think they want to invest in things that have longterm growth opportunities. Thats at the core of what technology is all about and ultimate longterm opportunity is space. Reporter the air field is tied to a nasa air field and space is so large they sometimes develop fog banks inside. Google will restore the hangars, open a museum and then, according to nasa, begin using the historic facility for research, development, assembly and testing in the areas of space exploration, aviation, rover robotics and other emerging technology. Space x 3 is under way. Reporter farfetched . Maybe not. Space x, which grew out of the paypal fortune is always reaching for the heavens. The private space race is robust. Come on, guys, lets brainstorm this puppy. Reporter and as noted in the movie the internship, google seems fearless about expanding, developing Driverless Cars and wearable computers, highspeed internet fiber, working on a pill to hunt cancer cells and launching a program to wire the world with balloons. Because it turns out that if you use balloons, its faster and easier and cheaper. Reporter it is not clear how deeply google wants to jump into all of this but the acquisition of this property sets them up to look skyward. And why not, maybe its like the old bond film, the world is not enough. The world is not enough. Pierce bronson reference. Thats more than you and i make together. Tom foreman, thank you so much.
