and dylan dreyer. dylan is following the typhoon off the coast of japan. high tides being seen. dylan will update us on the path. busy in the pacific. >> nothing in the atlantic. this is getting a lot

her to work this weekend. >> this was hard to work. >> she went to meet baby cheetahs on the endangered species list. >> they purr. >> i love it. people can get involved in naming them? >> three don't have names yet. you can help name. >> looking forward to that. let's begin with the top stori stories. the ongoing ebola screenings. the screenings at jfk where the trips originate at west africa countries. we have several reports this morning. let's start with kristen dahlgren at jfk. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. we are here waiting for a flight to get in from new guinea. this is the first flight from the ebola-infected nation since screenings started. passengers say some have them relieved, but others say it is not enough. at new york's jfk this week, training for stepped up screening. 43% of travelers from the affected nations of new guinea, sierra leone and liberia enter the u.s. through this airport. leaving many here worried about what might come off a plane. >> i have children. i don't want to bring it home to my baby. >> reporter: starting today, representatives from the centers for disease control and prevention are on hand. passengers will be questioned about being to the countries and contact with an infected person and temperatures will be monitored with a no-touch infrared thermometer. travelers could face isolated and screenings and possibly quarantine. >> hand sanitizer. >> reporter: fears have been growing since thomas eric duncan died this week in a dallas hospital. on friday, a plane from new york was quarantined in las vegas after a passenger vomited. investigators found no evidence of infection. this was the scene on the plane in the dominican republic after a passenger sneezed and said he had ebola. a false alarm. washington dulles and chicago o'hare and hartsfield-jackson will get measures next week. >> it is not a bad idea, but if someone is carrying the disease, but not displaying symptoms, it will not pick them up. >> reporter: now at least one lawmaker in texas is asking that the screening being expanded to houston and dallas. ahead of the cdc, lester, the head said to get zero risk in this country is to control the outbreak in africa. >> kristen, thank you. in dallas, there are mounting questions about what happened when thomas eric duncan walked in the hospital for the first time. a new report said he had a dangerously high temperature, but was still sent home. mark potter is in dallas with more. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. hospital officials say they are now changing the intake procedures as questions are asked about how the dallas ebola patient was treated when he first came to the emergency room. new details this morning obtained by the associated press from joseph weeks. the nephew of thomas eric duncan. the reports show duncan had a temperature of 103 degrees during his first visit to the hospital where he complained of stomach pains and other symptoms. although he also said he had been in africa, duncan was given antibiotic and sent home. two days later, he was rushed back to the hospital and diagnosed with ebola. he died on wednesday. a spokesperson says his girlfriend believes he should have been admitted right away. >> if you went to the hospital and your temperature was 103 degrees, no doctor would send you home. >> reporter: a week ago, texas presbyterian hospital in dallas said mr. duncan had a temperature of 100.1. no mention of 103. an nbc request for explanation has not been answered. meanwhile, dr. kent brantly, says he sympathizes with duncan's family. >> i want to tell you all, ebola is serious. it's real. it is a terrible, terrible disease for those who have it. for those who are close to them. >> reporter: in omaha, ebola patient, ashoka mukpo, the freelance cameraman is slightly improving. his father says he is cautiously optimistic. he thanked dr. brantly for donating blood to help his son. back here in dallas, authorities say all 48 people being closely monitored because they may have had contact with the ebola patient still have no signs of ebola. erica. >> thank you. >> dr. anthony fouchie is here with us. thank you for being on with us. >> good morning. >> at the time duncan was arriving at the hospital, it is fair to say ebola is high. are you shocked he was sent home given his travel and temperature? >> there is no doubt it was a misstep to not connect the travel history he gave to the nurse with the decision of what to do with him. i think everybody realizes that it clearly was a misstep. >> moving forward, how confident are you with the hospitals now have heard this lesson loud and clear and we won't have this misstep again? >> i cannot guarantee you won't see it again, but the awareness is high. probably as high as anything i have ever experienced of people in emergency rooms and clinics being aware of something that might come in. i cannot imagine that if someone comes into an emergency room in any clinic in the united states with a fever and says, by the way, i just got back from west africa that they will not highly suspect and act on the possibility that this person has ebola. >> that message is loud and clear. let's turn to the airports. jfk is the first of the international hubs screening passengers coming from west african countries. how effective is that going to be? >> it is another layer of screening and safeguard to protect the american people. there is an exit screening. before the people you see at jfk, before they got on the plane, they had a very similar procedure of temperature taking, questioning whether they have been exposed or whether they have symptoms. doing it now on the incoming end, that is another layer to just almost guarantee that someone with ebola will not get through. nothing is ever 100%. this is an extra added layer to try to keep americans safe. >> dr. fouchi, we don't want the drum beat to scare people. put it in perspective. with the screening happening here and screening happening at departure airports in west africa, how confident are you that we will not see anything close to an outbreak in this country? >> first of all, we will not see an outbreak. that i can tell you very, very confidently. if a person with ebola comes through with no fever, it gets through the screening and they get ebola here, the way mr. duncan did, there won't be an outbreak. we have the ability to do the kind of isolation and contact tracing exactly the way it's going on right now in dallas. notwithstanding the initial misstep with him and diagnosis. the screenings and following of contacts is going on right now. the risk of someone actually coming over here itself is very, very low. if you look at the numbers, they really are encouraging. take the last couple of months. in west african countries, 36,000 people went to the airport to go out. they screen them all. 77 were held back from getting on the plane. when they examined those 77, none of them had ebola. there is not a flood of people with ebola trying to get out of the country and trying to come to the united states. the risk is very low. when you add this extra layer of screening, that we're seeing at jfk and next week at four other airports, that risk is going to be lower. >> we appreciate that important perspective. dr. fouchi, thank you. protests are planned throughout the weekend in ferguson, missouri as thousands demanded justice for michael brown. he is the unarmed teenager shot and killed by a police officer two months ago. today, the focus and the demonstrations shift to downtown st. louis where tensions remain high after another shooting with another teenager and police. ron allen is in st. louis with more. good morning, ron. >> reporter: good morning, erica. until today, the protests have not happened in the heart of st. louis. that will change during the so-called weekend of resistance. thousands demanding justice for michael brown and others who lost their lives with confrontations with police. >> we do this for mike brown. >> reporter: ferguson polic for two months now, protestors are demanding the arrest and bros cushion of officer darren williams for shooting and killing unarmed teenager michael brown. as the crowd crossed the street, police appeared and the tensions began to build. anita brought her son. in the crowd, demonstrators from across the country. lori is from new york. >> why did you come from new york? >> why not? we have to. this is a national tragedy. >> here, this week, renewed anger as another family of another 18-year-old plalike micl brown they say he was up armed and he was shot and killed. police say he was armed and shot first when police attempted to stop him. many here don't trust the authorities because the officer who shot michael brown has not been charged with a crime. >> at this point i'm at peace. >> overnight, the protestors and police in riot gear squared off face to face. the crowd disbursed, but the weekend of resistance just began. >> there was no reports of significant violence. still, authorities in the region are on high alert for an emotional weekend of protests. >> we're going to go in this morning and give that potential presidential candidate hillary clinton from her days at first lady. and the papers are shedding light on the most difficult period of the clinton presidency. kristin welker has more. >> from monica lewinsky to the white water scandal, the documents are revealing but they say it likely won't have a large impact if hillary clinton decides to run in 2016. as hillary clinton considers a run for president. >> people don't need to be reminded that it was a presidency with controversy. >> white house said says our direction is to make sure she has a job in an agency. a 1998 memo has a scathing report about the affair. also in the document dump, the clinton's contentious relationship with the press. an aide says we should make the hearings expensive and inconvenient for the networks to cover, boring and inconclusive. >> this is how they deal with the press and they still base these quandaries today. >> another theme that resonates today, bill clinton has hillary back. in the 1996 state of the union, they wrote it was imperative that he defend the honor of the first lady tonight. in all of the national archives has released 30,000 pages from the clinton presidency since february. now the obama administration and the clinton presidential library signed off on those releases. this all happens as hillary becomes an increasingly likely candidate for the next presidential run. >> all right, kristin welker this morning, thank you. >> some of the other stories that we're following this morning. good morning a worldwide caution about the risk of isis attack against americans. isis fighters in iraq are advancing on the strategic plot. it is near baghdad and has long been a target of isis. they

trapped and had to be rescued. finally a mysterious object has fallen from the sky. a five inch square metallic object crash landed on a construction sight this year. the faa is checking it out, but so far nobody seems to know what the mystery object is or where it came from. >> cue the creepy music. >> objects falling from the sky? >> yeah -- thank you. >> dillon is keeping an eye on a big typhoon. >> yes it was a super typhoon at one point. take a look at this shot from space, you see the defined eye of this storm. it has been weakening but the outer bands of this storm have been lashing japan for quite some time now. they have effects of this storm producing gusty winds and flooding as well. it weaken today a category 2 hurricane. it is moving to the north at 9 miles per hour if will pass just to the northeast and then it is going to turn to the northeast. it looks like it should downgrade to a category one by the time we go into sunday afternoon. flooding and damaging

have had her busy all morning long. >> you were in miami earlier this week because residents were worried about tides that could come in. luckily it didn't happen, but you were there to find out why. >> i was there expecting it to happen and it didn't. king tides happen all of the time this time of year and miami beach is usually hit very hard. so there was a huge sigh of relief. despite the sunshine, october is a flood of trouble for residents of miami beach, it's the arrival of the annual king tide. >> we call them king tides when they go above three feet. >> for a city that sits only four feet only sea level, it is a big problem when the tide comes up. >> this was the scene last year with water covering the streets. it happens every year at this time when the sun, earth, and moon align causing this exceptionally high high tide. >> this city is built on limestone, and water seeps into the storm drains and it will not reseed until the tides g down. students are testing the composition of the water that is flooding the streets. >> it is full of -- all of the oils and stuff -- >> this year the city is finally fighting back and is actually winning. >> the property owners here at a certain time of year had ocean front property and they didn't want it. a plan to send the water back where it came from seems to be working. >> the last couple days were great days for us. the technology worked. it was a long war with a lot of initial doubts. >> so while miami beach has caused the bigger problem, but city officials have helped them to find a fix to turn back the tide. >> that is fascinating. >> and to see them doing something working is amazing. >> it is nice to see something working. thank you. coming up, the athlete who is making history at the right now, you
