Transcripts For KYW CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley 20141

This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Good evening. Scotts on assignment. Im jim axle axelrod. There is sharp new criticism tonight of the dallas hospital that has become the focus of the ebola story in this country, and it comes from a nurse who works there. Brianna aguirre says the hospital was not prepared to deal with the disease. The hospital is where first u. S. Diagnosed ebola patient died and where two nurses who treated him caught the disease. One is now being cared for in atlanta. The other was sent to suburban washington. We have team of correspondents covering the ebola story. First anna westerner in dallas. Anna . Reporter jim, we spoke late this afternoon with that nurse aguirre. She did not work on Thomas Eric Duncans case, but she did help treat her coworker, nurse nina pham, when she became sick with ebola. I saw a chaotic scene. It wasnt organized. It wasnt safe. No one really was in charge. Every time id ask, who is in charge, and i went around and around and around with my hospital over who is in charge, and the final answer is i was. Reporter what did you see that so disturbed you . The most disturbing things i saw were basically breeching of basic Infection Control principles. I saw people that were supposed to be in charge, the c. D. C. And infectious control department, telling nurse, telling doctors to do things that were not safe. They asked. They told. They instructed a doctor coming out of a patients room that was in the process of being ruled out for ebola, they were there because of the suspicion of ebola, they told that doctor, go ahead, youre all suited up, just go on to the next patients room. Reporter why are you speaking out now . The bottom line is that i believe that its information that should be known. It should have been known a while ago, not this late into this, in dallas, in my hospital. Its too little too late. Reporter now, today the hospital said in a statement that Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient to eventually die from ebola, was proved directly to a private room and placed in isolation upon his second visit to the e. R. , and that staff wore the appropriate personal protective equipment as recommended by the centers for Disease Control at that time. Now, aguirre says she is not showing any symptoms of ebola at this time, but if she did, she would not feel comfortable being treated at her own hospital. Axelrod anna westerner in dallas. Anna, thank you. One of the nurses who caught ebola at the dallas hospital, amber vinson, flew to cleveland and back to dallas on monday. The c. D. C. Will now be monitoring other passengers from both those planes because they say vinson may have shown symptoms earlier than originally thought. Federal Health Officials were on capitol hill today. They came under fire for the handling of the ebola situation. More now from Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes. Reporter under oath the c. D. C. Director went head to head with republicans, who want a ban on travelers from west africa. Brett upon of michigan. We should not be allowing these folks in. Period. Reporter but dr. Tom frieden argued that would make americans less safe. If passengers are now allowed to come directly, there is a high likelihood that they will find another way to get here, and we wont be able to track them. Reporter that didnt satisfy Louisiana Republican steve scalise, who noted about 150 people from the three affected countries enter the u. S. Every day. Is the white house considering a travel ban in. I cant speak for the white house. Do you know if theyve ruled out travel ban . I cant speak for the white house. Have you had conversations about it . Weve discussed the issue of travel. Reporter the head of texas Presbyterian Hospital in dallas testified by videophone. Dr. Daniel varga admitted his staff had not been trained to treat ebola before Thomas Eric Duncan arrived in the e. Unfortunately in our initial treatment of mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of ebola, and we are deeply sorry. Michael burgess of texas wanted to know why the two nurses duncan infected have been evacuated from dallas. So is the reason she is having to be removed because the personnel are no longer willing to stay at presbyterian the take care of her . Texas presbyterian is really dealing with a difficult situation. Theyre working very hard because of the events of the past week, they are now dealing with at least 50 Health Care Workers who may potentially have been exposed. Reporter he insisted the best way to prevent more cases is to fight the virus at its source, across the atlantic. What were finding is that its moving quickly, and theres a real risk it will spread to other parts of africa. Therefore, the key ingredient to progress there is speed. Reporter he said the c. D. C. Has now sent 140 staffers to west africa, but 11 of the 13 republicans in that hearing wanted more. They want travel restrictions from west africa and a growing number of members from both sides out of that Committee Want the same thing, jim. Axelrod nancy cordes on capitol hill. Nancy, thank you. Several schools and two states were shut down today because either staff, students or parents had potential contact with one of the two dallas nurses diagnosed with ebola. In bolton, texas, three campuses were closed for whats called deep cleaning. Ebola precautions also closed three ohio schools in cleveland and in akron. Cbs news has learned that the c. D. C. Is considering protocol changes for protective gear. More about that now from chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook in washington. Reporter currently this is the level of protection required. It has one layer of gloves, fluid resistant gown, eye shield and facemask. Many in the Health Care Community feel this is an inadequate level of protection. I think the c. D. C. And everyone has been naive and ill prepared in getting ahold of. This weve never had an agent this infectious and this risky. Reporter dr. Bruce farber is head of Infectious Diseases at north shore j hospital where they are prepared to use a higherlevel gear including a hood, leg and shoe covers. The c. D. C. Says the use of full body suits like those used in west africa is also under consideration. Sean kaufman trained Health Care Workers at Emory University hospital when two americans, dr. Kent brantly and Nancy Writebol were treated there this summer. Hes now doing Infection Control in liberia. He says hes been warning the c. D. C. That the guidelines were irresponsible. When you look at what c. D. C. Is recommending for what clinicians should wear when working with a patient with ebola, its really unbelievable because a patient can produce high quantities of very, very viral fluid, the fluid that can spread the virus, in very unpredictable ways. To me it makes no sense. Reporter kaufman says equipment and treatment arent worth anything if the gear is not safely removed, and that takes trains, practice and supervision or its not like having any protection at all. Axelrod jon, there was video of the transfer of the second gear, and there is man near the plane not wearing any protective gear, which would appear to be a breech of protocol. What have you learned of that . I thought it was a breech of protocol, too, jumping to the wrong conclusion. It turns out that man is a physician. He was following protocol. Hes the eyes and ears on the tarmac because the people wearing the protective equipment, they dont have very good peripheral vision. And so this is phoenix air. Theyve transported 11 patients with ebola. No Health Care Worker has been infected. And so it shows you, if you do follow protocol, you can protect the Health Care Workers. Axelrod dr. Lapook buick in our washington newsroom. Jon, thank you. A wave of deadly bombings today rocked the iraqi capital. At least 47 people were killed, more than 100 others wounded. Isis militants took responsibility for some of the attacks and the group is blamed for a surge of new violence in baghdad and across the country. Elizabeth palmer is joining us from baghdad. Liz, good evening. Reporter good evening. Jim, these bombings are not only deadly, if they carry on, theyre going to destabilize the capital, so the Iraqi Government has been on a Real Campaign to recruit new Security Forces to fight the isis militants. Police recruits act as angry villagers. The other half gets a lesson in crowd control. Until a smoke grenade scatters them off. At this Police Academy on a former u. S. Base near baghdads airport, 1,500 men are going throw basic training. Thats 50 more than when isis invaded iraq. Kernel fouad qadem daoud says theyve seen how isis slaughtered iraqi Security Forces and they want revenge. The basic Training Course lasts 45 days. These young recruits behind me are almost done, two weeks from now theyll be heading out into combat. Theyre called police, but theyre trained like the military. In this exercise, sharpshooters surround the house. Then the swat team bursts in. [gunfire] and arrests the kidnapper. But most of the work these men will do is less dramatic. And more dangerous. That is manned checkpoints and try to stop suicide bombers like the ones that killed at least 50 people today in baghdad. Some recruits are here for the love of their country, some for the money, about 800 a month. But all of them know theyre heading into a vicious war with every chance they wont come back. Jim, if these men are going to perform well in battle, theyre going to need good leadership, and thats seen a significant failure, at least until now inside the iraqi command. Axelrod Elizabeth Palmer covering for us tonight in baghdad. Liz, thank you. The f. B. I. Today blasted apple and google for their new Encryption Technology that locks Law Enforcement out of smartphones. The software has become a selling point for consumers, but as bob orr reports, its a major problem for those fighting crime. Iphone 6. Reporter apple has been unveiling a new generation of devices with bigger screens, sharper cameras and faster processors. But its apples new privacy protections that worry Law Enforcement. The latest operating system from the tech giant and competing software from google allow people to permanently lock their smartphones. Only the users knows the security code. Apple and google say they cant break that code, and neither can police, even with a court order. F. B. I. Director james corney warned this could allow criminals and terrorists to permanently hide their files. Its the equivalent of a safe that cannot ever be cracked. Reporter the new privacy features come in response to a public backlash against broad government surveillance, revealed by nsa leaker edward snowden. In marketing its new system, apple openly boasts about unbreakable encryption, saying we wouldnt be able to comply with a wiretap order even if we wanted to. In a more direct response to the f. B. I. Warning, google issued this statement, saying, people previously used safes and combination locks to keep their information secure. Now they use encryption. But corn yeah says this is more about protecting peoples rights. Suspects will walk free, Child Exploitation will not be discovered and prosecuted. Justice may be denied because of a locked phone or an encripghted device. Reporter hes asking smartphone manufacturers to take a step back and change course, but apple and google are complying with current law. Jim, they say theyre simply responding to the publics demand for Better Privacy protections. Reporter bob, thank you. Axelrod hurricane gonzalo is bearing down on bermuda, a category four storm with highest sustained winds of 145mph. Its forecast to hit the tiny british island tomorrow. In the pacific, Tropical Storm ana is expected to power up to hurricane strength. Right now its churning toward the big island of hawaii. Schools there will be closed tomorrow. A cooling device sets off a heated debate between two candidates, and guess who is coming to breakfast when the cbs evening news continues. And for many, its a struggle to keep your a1c down. So imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar . Imagine, loving your numbers. Introducing oncedaily invokana®. Its the first of a new kind of prescription medicine thats used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. Using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. Its time. Lower your blood sugar with invokana®. Imagine loving your numbers. Ask your doctor about invokana®. One of the more hotly contested races in campaign 2014 is for governor of florida. Last night Wyatt Andrews tells us it really hit the fan. Governor of florida. Reporter for more than six minutes last night floridas debate for governor looked like bad reality television. We have an extremely peculiar situation right now. Reporter the challenger, democrat charlie crist, came on stage all alone as the incumbent governor, republican rick scott, staged a noshow protest over this, fan crist has installed the stay cool. To the scott campaign, the fan was not cool, a violation of the rules as moderator Elliott Rodriguez explained. There is fan there, and for that reason im being told that Governor Scott will not join us for this debate. Reporter Governor Scott quickly ended his holdout, but both men were asked to air this out. Crist shrugged it off as no big deal. Is there anything wrong with being comfortable . Reporter but then the governor claimed he had been late because of crist. I waited until we figured out if he was going to show up. He said he wasnt going to. He said he wasnt going to come to the debate. Reporter floridas newspapers called it fangate, but behind everything here is overheated politics. Republicans were hoping to embarrass crist, releasing photos of what they called crists obsession with fans, sometimes two fans as he fends off the florida heat. Governor scott used that to suggest crist cant take the heat. I think hes sweaty and he needed a fan. Im surprised he didnt ask for dry ice. Reporter but democrats believe that under pressure last night it was the governor who melted down to partisans on both sides, jim, delaying a debate over fan and doing that on tv is among the most awkward political moments of the year. Axelrod Wyatt Andrews with the heat of the campaign. Thank you. A federal grand jury today hit white house intruder Omar Gonzalez with new charges. Gonzalez, who jumped the fence and got all the way into the east room last month, was originally charged with unlawfully entering a restricted building while carrying a deadly weapon. The new charges include sauling or resisting officers. The new york medical examiner has ruled on the cause of joan rivers death. That story coming up. You know, if you play football foryoure gonna learn toid, deal with alot of pain. But it is nothing like the pain that shingles causes. Man when i got shingles it was something awful. It was like being blindsided by some linebacker. You dont see it coming. Boom it was this painful rash of little blisters. Red, ugly stuff. Lots of em. Not a good deal. If youve had chicken pox, uhhuh, we all remember chicken pox. Well that shingles virus is already inside of you. It aint pretty when it comes out. Now im not telling you this so that youll feel sorry for me. Im just here to tell you that one out of three people are gonna end up getting shingles. I was one of em. Take it from a guy whos had his fair share of pain. You dont want to be tackled by shingles. So please go talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. I have the worst cold with this runni better take something. Dayquill cold and flu doesnt treat your runny nose. Seriously . Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. Oh, what a relief it is. Axelrod have a look at this. This is 2 the scene outside Presbyterian Hospital in dallas. Hospital work verse gathered there to wish nurse nina pham well as she departs for suburban washington with a round of applause and waving signs of support. Shes going to be treated for ebola, of course, at the Thomas Eric Duncan<\/a>s case, but she did help treat her coworker, nurse nina pham, when she became sick with ebola. I saw a chaotic scene.

It says the comedian died last month from brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen. Rivers, who was 81, went into cardiac arrest during a routine procedure to, check out problems she was having with her voice. She had been sedated with propofol. And you have to believe rivers would have had something to say about this yes, that is madeleine albright, the former secretary of state, on a box of wheaties, the breakfast of champion, a spot usually filled by sports stars. General mills told us albright is definitely a champion in her field. On their way to the world series, the Kansas City Royals<\/a> made baseball history, becoming the first team ever to win their first eight games of postseason play.
