allegations of fraud in the contest between abdullah abkbul la and ganni. this comes as the remains of harold green return to the u.s. this morning. the army's chief of staff was among those on hand for the dignified transfer of green's remains at dover air force base in delaware. the two-star army general killed in an insider attack tuesday in afghanistan. on to our first focus today, major developments about the longest and deadliest outbreak of ebola in history. in just a couple of hours, a panel of experts will testify at a house hearing in washington, d.c. including the director of the cdc. we're expected to hear more about the cdc raising it's emergency operation level to it's highest level, level 1. president obama is encouraging countries in east africa to focus on identifying and treats patients. >> the ebola virus is controllable if you have a strong public health infrastructure in place. and the countries that have been affected are the first to admit that what's happened here is that their public health systems have been overwhelmed. >> meantime the world health organization is in the middle of a two-day emergency meeting in geneva discussing new measures to tackle the spread of the virus. joining me now is professor dr. cory aber. thanks for being with us. the cdc is calling for all hands on deck. what exactly does that mean? >> it means they are going to allocate more resources time and all the things on deck to handle this virus because what's happening is that we -- an american problem for ebola type virus is a lot different than an african problem for an ebola type virus or ebola at all. and the reason why is because of the sanitation conditions and the public health infrastructure that varies in africa. as opposed to the very serious and delicate nature of the virus that actually is exposing people, hundreds of people all over and thousands of people all over africa. >> and president obama says the public health systems are overwhelmed in west africa and liberia, contaminated bodies are being dumped in the streets. liberia's president announcementing announcing a state of emergency. you have had experience in working in the after math of hurricane katrina in new orleans. how can authorities get this seemingly overwhelming situation under control in west africa? >> well the issue is that it's more of a triage situation right now and because they don't have the experienced personnel and the manpower to triage the patient, meaning they need to be able to identify and isolate a patient immediately and contain them for at least 21 days because we know that's how long the incubation period can be. without being able to identify that patient, it's impossible to contain this. we have always had to set up these advanced triage systems so that we can identify the patient and stop the spread of the disease. we know that there's no treatment right now, we know there's no vaccine right now, so without the isolation, that is going to be a very difficult thing. >> when we hear these stories, it really sounds like the middle ages when infected bodies are being thrown into the streets of towns and cities. that must be a huge concern for people because if this is happening, this thing is going to spread very quickly. >> and that's one of the differences between here and there, because when you have to handle one of these bodies, that's the direct contact with the bodily fluids from that patient. this is not a respiratory or airborne virus, you have to be in contact directory with the bodily fluids. so when they're removing bodies they're coming in direct contacts with that. whereas in america, we would isolate and have the appropriate sanitation and we would be able to hand handle that type of out where there it's just not possible. and now to the crisis on the border, president obama is preparing to make a move on immigration without congress and both he and vice president biden hinted at it during two separate events wednesday, even though there's no real specifics on what the white house will do. the president says he hears americans call for action. >> i promise you the american people don't want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for congress to get something done. >> meanwhile, vice president biden got to the heart of the crisis, the unaccompanied minors still coming across the border. >> these are not somebody else's kids, these are our kids. these are the children that lift the national ambitionless of each of these countries aloft. and it's a tragedy. congressman, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, jose and glad to have you in that role. >> thank you so very much. let me ask you congressman, what should the president do now? congress is on a recess, the president said he waited for the house for months to get something done on immigration reform, nothing's going to happen this year. what should president obama being doing? >> i think what he's doing, he -- secretary johnson, his legal team, the white house counsel, and the president are looking at the executive options that he has under his legal authority and his constitutional authority to do something to begin to remedy a broken immigration system that at the end of the day requires comprehensive reform on the part of congress, but that is not going to happen. and i think the president's dead on when he said, i wasn't elected to twelect ed to twidal -- twidle my thumbs. using the resources that he has, doing something around immigration that is going to begin to relieve and heal many of the tragedies, situations we have in this country. >> so congressman, specifically what would that mean, be bold, deal with the pain? what exactly could the president do? >> i think there's options, i think extending the protection that is now available to young people, to their families, family members that might be undocumented, doing family unification, trying to bring parents with their blended families, where many of them are citizens, bringing that together. the work visa, lifting the number of work permits that are available. and zealing with the backlog, redefining what hardship is, redefining what in custody is, redefining using deferred action and prosecute torl december skregs. that's why we're suing mr. president from the republicans, the fact is that everything, every executive order the president has signed up to this point, including the dream act was a consequence of nothing being done in the house of representatives or obstruction in the senate. these are pressing problems, whether it is our profits and assets and jobs going overseas, the president's talking about an executive order to stop that. he's done that a variety of times and he has to use it. >> congressman, for the past at least three years every time i have had the opportunity to speak with the president, i have asked him why he is not considering expanding doca for example, he has said in the past that he just felt he couldn't do that. what has changed do you think for him to now be able to say he should be willing to at least look at that possibility? >> i think what changed is quite frankly the window of opportunity in terms of compromising, waiting for the house of representatives, and for boehner to call up the senate bill, his announcement and proclamation, we're not going to do anything about immigration reform for the rest of the year, i think the window closed. and the olive branch that the president sometimes is criticized for that only live branch, the fact remains that there was a -- they're not going to do anything, the republicans, and now the last and final option for relief comes to the president. >> congressman, thank you for being with us this morning. see you soon. >> thank you, jose. >> coming up, hawaii hunkers down not for one, two storms headed that way, we'll go to the hawaiian islands and jim cantore to check on the prep work. but first the russians say nsa leaker edward snowden can stay. what a surprise. so is more retaliation coming from vladimir putin and what's the cost to us?

is this all a coordinated play by putin to continue pressuring the americans? >> it is. all politics is local and putin is trying to show that he's standing up to the west, that he's responding to the sanctions from the u.s. and europe. this is no surprise, of course they're letting knsnowden stay, it's a way to poke president obama in the eye. i'm not an expert on this, but it could hurt russian consumers in the long-term banning these food imports because there are certain goods that as far as i understand russia only gets certain foods from russia and that could drive food prices up in russia for russian consumers. >> putin's russia, you can check in any time but you can never -- >> his theme is russian nationalism, you see this in many political dynamics and he's standing up to the u.s. and that makes him very popular in russia. he remains very popular because the narrative there is that he's standing up to the west and to ukraine. so it helps him to keep snowden there. as the economy deteriorates, if food prices start to rise, he's sort of telling the russian people, we're enduring this pain, but we're not going to depend on the west for food or anything else. news of the new sanctions, this means a block of about $1.2 billion to russia will be affected. italy today announced it was sliding back into recession. is it going to be an impact to the west specifically to the united states? >> certainly yes, $1.3 billion is a lot of money, but when it comes to our overall exports it's quite small, but tell that to the individual chicken producer that has russia as a customer. in the grand scale of the united states, no, it's not going to be that meaningful, far more meaningful, you just went through the numbers for the europeans because they export a lot more from russia due to proximity. russians are now used to having fruits and vegetables there year round. so it's definitely going to hurt the russian consumer. i would add that even our sanctions can hurt us. it's a two-way street business. we have now said there are going to be export controls on certain export technology. guess what, it's american companies, a lot of them that sell that product. the u.s. has decided, the white house has decided that is a cost we should bear as a society in order to try to change the calculus. >> spain's economy for the first time in years is growing by 0.5%. so these economies in western europe that are not very strong, that will have an impact on them and in turn on us. >> when you put all of the european countries together, they are the largest economy in the world. we just to the united states, the largest economy in the world. but that whole trading block is larger than we are. those economies, they haven't done things that they really need to do to fix their co- ---businesses don't want to get start there had because there's so much bureaucracy, add to that, remember, germany decided after the fukushima incident that they're not going to have nuclear power anymore. their power costs have gone up and add this to the economy and this is trouble. >> do you think the whole ukraine issue is going to flare back up now that putin is facing a tougher time? >> this is how wars start and there's a sense that putin again feels he has to stand up to the west, he's massed these 20,000 troops. he could send them over the border in ukraine and say it's a peacekeeping situation. but it's a very dangerous situation, it's very unusual, it really depends on what putin wants to do. he's got control and he may send troops over the border. >> michelle caruso, thanks for being with us this morning. >> coming up, we're following two big court cases that are wrapping up, closing arguments today for oscar pistorius and jurors are deliberating right now in the porch shooting case in michigan. plus the latest on two hurricanes bearing down on hawaii. we'll be right back. if i can impart one lesson to a new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my philosophy is real simple american express open forum is an on-line community, that helps our members connect and share ideas to make smart business decisions. if you mess up, fess up. be your partners best partner. we built it for our members, but it's open for everyone. there's not one way to do something. no details too small. american express open forum. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle, see how much you could save. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

>> reporter: right now it's not supposed to be direct hit anybody, but it will be closer, les say to maui and also oahu. so they're going to get lashed on the north side where they didn't get it with iselle or won't get it with iselle. it's a different animal and places that didn't get impacted by iselle. we are talking about conditions from two tropical conditions, one of them a hurricane and the other one a tropical storm. >> thank you so much, jim cantore for being with us this morning. it is decision time right now in two courtrooms in two high profile trials. kendall coffey is hire to talk about it. the man who shot and killed 19-year-old ranisha mcbride, we're in the final parts of this trial. what do you see that the jury is dealing with? what are the major issues? >> i think from the prosecution's standpoint, the key thing the jury is considering is was it reasonably necessary to kill her? for him to avoid imminent peril the defense has two worz they hope will linger with the jury. a reasonable doubt. is there at least a reasonable doubt of whether he needed to use -- >> not the stand your ground law, but it has a defend your castle doctrine. >> very similar to florida's law, a lot of states have them. and now michigan as in florida is dealing with this dynamic on shootings which are justified on self-defense. >> what does this castle doctrine exactly say? >> in the context of a case like this, you don't have to retreat, you don't have to walk away, if you think it's reasonably necessary to protect yourself, you can kill another human being. >> even if it was a young lady who was knocking on your door because she had gotten in a car crash and needed help. >> yes, even a young woman who was trying to get help. >> the other case is in south africa where there is no jury, but a judge that will deliver a verdict in the case of oscar pistorius. you can't daily tell on these kind of cases when it's just in front of the judge, the questioning doesn'ts necessari mean that that's how the judge is going to decide one way or the other. >> it's very different in our system. the trial began in march. there's large amounts of paper. and it could be a month until the judge issues her opinion. it also has reasonable doubt standard, the prosecution has to prove that. and somewhat similar to our laws, there's alternative charges, including murder, a form of manslaughter. but in this case, there is a potential motive for the killing. it doesn't exist for example in the alleged shooting or the shooting by theodore wafer. so much more complicated making self-defense claims when there are witness who is say they heard the shooting victim screaming before the sthhots we fired. >> do they somewhehave a castle doctrine there? >> not as strong as we do in this country, that may account for why this person changed his story. one time he said he thought he was shooting an intruder, another time the gun went off by itself. let's head to kentucky, the hottest and the close errs senate race in the country. grimes, a democrat trying to get a boost from a big visit yet. bill clinton and true to his style, he told this story. >> let's get first things out of the way right away. did you see that guy that came up to talk to me? he said you're going up to the microphone, don't forget to remind people, she's also way pretty nevier than mitch is. >> she's not calling on president obama, instead full of embracing the former president. >> one label that i wear i am a clinton democrat. >> joining me is senior politics writer. what does bill clinton do for grimes? >> he does a lot more than president obama would ever do. it's fascinating when the grimes people took bill clinton down there yesterday, it was to a town called hazard, kentucky. in a county that president obama lost, 80% to 20% against mitt romney in 2012. he got only 20% of the vote. grimes knows she can't lose this area, this southeastern part of kentucky by that amount. so she brings in bill clinton, a guy who's carried the state twice. a national democrat who can inspire the base, but also appeal to those southern white male voters who are never going to vote for obama, but don't think mitch mcconnell is one of them either. he sort of is a stand in and is a bridge if you will to some of those voters that would never have looked to a democrat. >> and jackie, it's interesting, what was grimes getting at, she said i will not rubber samptamp anything, i am a clinton democrat, what she was trying to very clearly say? >> i am not an obama democrat. a clinton brand in general is very good in kentucky. you remember hillary beat obama there during the primary. so it's not just bill, it's hillary. and you'll notice that bill mentioned here in that fact yesterday as well. >> he said you've been very good to me and to hillary. david, this is not the first challenger mcconnell has faced, he ended up crushing the tea partier matt bevin'. what are crimes real chances? >> she is in this race, but if you talk to people on both sides, this race hasn't moved that much, despite all the attention that ee's heaped on i. mcconnell is probably ahead by a couple of points, but grimes is right there. it's going to be a margin of error race. you have some cases in polling numbers, that this is isn't a wave year, that it isn't has bad for democrats in 2010. grimes cannot have it be 2010 and win this race. no question she's in the race, she's probably just a couple of points behind. >> the political vet, saying she's up by 29 points, what does it look like he'll be easily beating back the tea party when others have had such trouble? >> i think the specker of error can loom a little large these days. he's been out there for a year, campaigning pretty hard. carr, his challenger, his main challenger, feels good about it, there's been a lot of early voting and he's very optimistic, but it looks like alexander is going to pull this out. and if he does, it's going to be the first time since 2008 that no incumbent senator has ever lost. it would be a feather in the establishment's cap, basically. >> coming up, you'll hear from a woman who stowed away on a southwest airlines flight. what was she thinking. also a check on the wildfires out west. you're watching msnbc. with the top speedou compare of comcast the top speed of business dsl from the internet... phone company well, there's really no comparison. why pay more for less?

>> well, we are gravely concerned about this increase, almost a 70% increase since 2012. it's the problem of stability and political uncertainty in the political landscape of haiti. that is why for the past two years, since 2010, we have been advocating for a haitian family reunification. they're dying just this year, from the haitian women of miami, we helped to bury at least ten people last year. >> we see every day the extraordinary contributions of haitians in the united states of america, how they contribute with hard work, honesty, and just love for this country. after the devastating earthquake of now five years in haiti more than 200,000 people just died. some haitians were allowed to come to the united states, but they have been trying to legally get their families united here in the united states and that has not been possible yet. this is the legal way doesn't seem to be possible. >> it doesn't seem possible. we are -- all it needs is an administrative order allowing those who have been approved for visas. >> explain this to me. so in haiti, your family left because of a devastated earthquake, accepted in the united states then you legally apply for a visa, do you get the visa? >> not necessarily. those who came out of the earth quake, but there are those who have been petitioned for their family for years. >> you have to wait 12 years after you get legally accepted to come into the united states? >> yes. so because of the crisis and the violence in haiti right now, we have been trying to get president obama to approve the haitian family unification -- four years later, he has not done it. he does not need congress to do it. >> this is an executive order that would be very little controversy. >> we have congresswoman wilson who petitioned to the president and finally received an answer. several have sent letters to the administration supporting this. >> let's see what happens on that because it would be a very easy thing to do to help people who are legally getting here. >> legally. >> i know you just got back from the border in the united states. >> yes. >> tell me a little bit about what you were doing there. >> the u.s. human rights network invite med to to be a -- around environmental with justice and around the border crisis. and i was at the border of nogales, and i was able to take a peek -- many immigrants have to cross in their attempts to get to the u.s. this is brutal. just taking a peek from afar, really throws your blood in turmoil to know that these children and thousands and thousands of immigrants from honduras, from guatemala and from all the places have to cross. i also visited in the tribunal, the court system and i was able to see the streamline process that the children are also taking, and i went to the morgue where thousands of thousands of people found in the desert, were waiting to be reunited with their family. these children, they are refugees, they are the littlest of our refugees, they deserve our humanity. this is a legal and a how moon issue and we need to treat it as such. these children need to be afforded the right of due process, they need to be reunited with their families here. and those who do not have family they need to be placed in foster care. >> i'm glad that we were able to bring up this issue that is really an increasing problem with is the flight of many cubans and air shans trying to reach a new life in the united states. thank you. >> thank you for invite meg. >> and coming up, today is the kickoff to the iowa state fair, the place that brugtd you this moment among others. >> corporations are people, my friend. we can raise taxes that -- of course they are. >> butter is butter, my friends. five things coming up. where the reward was that what if tnew car smelledit card and the freedom of the open road?
