Victim. The questions are mounting in dallas from the liberia man diagnosed with ebola this week, the first person diagnosed in america. The man, Thomas Duncan, first misdiagnosed. Now the Obama Administration trying hard to reassure americans that everything is under control. Now we are as of this morning one week out from the mid term elections. We want to get to the death of Allen Henning. The new video out by isis that seems to depict. Henning was driving an ambulance in syria when he was taken hostage. He was the lone nonmuslim in a humanitarian relief convoy. David cameron offered this statement. We will use all the assets we have to try to help these hostages and their families and do everything we can to defeat this organization which is utterly ruthless, senseless and barbaric in the way it treats people. And this will be the work that we continue. And in the same video with hennings execution isis militants say they will take the life of peter cassick next. According to his family he changed his name after converting to islam while he was in captivity. U. S. Also suffered the first apparent death in the air campaign against isis on thursday with the disappearance of corporal spears who was ejected from an aircraft over the persian gulf after it lost fire. Richard engel joins us this morning. What is the latest you know about this latest isis beheading with Allen Henning . Reporter unfortunately, it is very similar to the other that we have seen. We have seen four now almost identical videos with the same killer, a man with a heavy british accent holding a knife in his lefthand, the hostage in a nondescript desert environment. They are forced to read a statement explaining why they are about to be killed and then the beheading itself. They usually end or all have ended with a threat to carry out the execution of another hostage and this ended with the threat to carry out beheading of an american, former soldier who left the military and decided to change his life trying to help Syrian Refugees and then founding an Aid Organization going into syria and being held captive. It is a propaganda move, a move by isis to instill fear. I think it is also an attempt by isis to try to draw the world in. Isis knows these are provocative actions. It knows that beheading an american on camera and that taunting the american people, taunting the u. S. President is the kind of thing that could provoke action and it did. It was these beheading videos that compelled the u. S. To launch its military campaign against isis. Now it seems that isis wants to draw the u. S. Even further into this conflict because isis thinks the more deeply the u. S. Gets involved especially if there is a ground component a bigger quagmire the u. S. Finds itself in. In doing this for the attention they want and reaction from the United States. They have named their next potential victim, an american. We have seen this move before. This particular man, Allen Henning who was just killed, this was an aid worker, a cab driver who was taken up a collection to have an ambulance to do relief work. This was Nobody Associated with military or British Intelligence and yet they killed him even apparently with objections from al qaeda. Given that background and given there are other americans being held captive right now is there a realistic prospect for getting them out . There was a rescue attempt that happened around the 4th of july weekend. The u. S. Is conducting bomb missions. There is a lot of Reconnaissance Aircraft in the sky. If anything the possibility of Getting Better intelligence, Real Time Intelligence in iraq and syria is better now than it was in july. I wouldnt want to put a percentage on the chances of a rescue but i would say the chances of a rescue are probably higher than the chances of the hostages being released. A little bit of encouraging news to end it on. Richard engel, thanks for joining us this morning. Really appreciate that. Going to turn to the Washington Bureau chief. So we are just digesting this news from yesterday. What is your reaction . This is something we have seen before. There is sort of an established pattern here. Richard talked about the prospects of maybe Getting Better intelligence to get some of the hostages out in the future. I believe that isis through these ugly killings is trying not only to recruit people and challenge the west and local allies but also to expose what they believe as the impotence of the west in general. This is the fourth victim. And they believe that they can get away with this because maybe in the recess of their minds the United States and allies are not going to create an Effective Ground component that will go along with the air campaign. If we continue to rely on the air campaign isis can continue its expansion. Six weeks after the air Campaign Began in iraq and two weeks after their campaign we see isis is in the outskirts of baghdad. They are on the move in both syria and iraq on multiple fronts including besieging the mostly kurdish city next to the Turkish Border and running the risk of provoking turkey into the fight. It gives you an idea about their arrogance cht given what happened on the ground in the last six, seven weeks one can see why this arrogance is based on some pretty rational calculus. Where are the ground components to take on isis . Today we heard general allen essentially saying that for iraq to retake mosul this will take more than a year. This gives an idea of the odd asity of isis and the brutal nature of the alliance. There is a report in the New York Times that suggested back on september 20 residents in syria near apparently where the execution took place of Allen Henning this is the capital. Saw what they believed to be Allen Henning being taken on a truck into this hill with heavy video equipment taken with him. Looks like the same place used quite possibly for the other videos. Seems to me that is a big clue about where the guys are being held. It also suggests the videos are being shot in anticipation of news because this video was released because of the decision by the brits to join the coalition but if the september 20 date holds true that is before it happens. I think they are planning to kill the hostages regardless of what the west does or does not, really. It tells you something about the nature of this group. Also, i think the Intelligence Community probably would know that these hostages were held in a fairly secure place for isis. The problem is it is about a quarter of a Million People there, a fairly large city. Its difficult for the United States or the brits or any other western power to try to rescue these hostages as the United States tried in the past and unfortunately failed when they sent special forces to rescue them. This is going to be difficult. And i think unless the United States and its allies, regional allies and european allies rethink taboos and assumptions about including special forces in the mix to go along with the air campaign i think isis will get away with murder. Washington bureau chief, thanks for joining us this morning. We will talk white house says u. S. Is prepared to stop spread of ebola. The pentagon is sending more troops to west africa to deal with the crisis. Up to 3,600 americans in uniform. U. S. Officials feel the need to reassure americans that they can and will control the outbreak probably because of pictures like this, a car wrapped in plastic. Officials believe Thomas Duncan road in that vehicle. They are trying to keep any possible contamination limited. When duncan went to the hospital with symptoms of the virus and told officials he had been to liberia they responded by sending him home. Yesterday a hazmat cleaning crew scrubbed down the apartment where he was staying. A fifth american, a freelance cameraman working with nbc news team in liberia. Only five people here in the United States have contracted this or are treated here for it. How much of this is just hype and how much is grounded in justified concern that hospitals on the front lines of the outbreak as well as government officials havent been doing enough . Joining me is dr. Corey hebert. Thanks for taking a few minutes this morning. There seems to be more confusion as the weekends as there was in the middle of the week as exactly what happened with the hospital in dallas with the patient from liberia. We know he was released. The hospital saying there is a screw up with his medical records here. Now the hospital seems to have changed the story and said his travel history and case history was fully accessible to everybody on the medical team there. If that is true that question now stands out to more prominently than ever why did this guy leave the hospital . If ebola reaches outbreak proportions it is not because of the ver lns of the organism. It is because of lack of education and systems management in the United States and communication between the agencies. We look at the department of transportation. We look at the cdc. They are not working in concert. We know that the cdc can do what they need to do to make sure that on the ground that things are taken care of. The most important thing is that we cant treat anything unless we know there is something to be treated. We have to communicate. I am telling my Health Care Workers out there, please make sure that you ask those very serious questions that you werent usually asking six months ago because this is the land of the odd now. We have to look at the things. I will tell you this, also. Their Public Health system is unparallel. They do a great job. However, we got to always know that we have to know what we are treating to be able to treat it. And that hospital, if they are starting to change medical records based on the severity of their foibales down there that is something in the medical community we will not stand for. We will make sure we get to the bottom of that. This is the first ebola case diagnosed on u. S. Soil. This is a gentleman who came in from liberia where the outbreak is out of control at this point. When he came over here when he travelled here was exhibiting no symptoms. There was an issue over whether he potentially lied in leaving liberia and entering the United States about his potential exposure to ebola. He knew he had been around people who had this and who had died from this. He knew he was coming to the United States. It raises the possibility that others in his position might try to do the same. It seems logical if you are turned away from hospitals in liberia you think you might have this most human beings are going to take that chance if they can. What can and should the United States be doing to deal with that . I have to say there will be no way that the United States can screen every person coming into our country for ebola. That will not happen. Its impossible. The only way that can happen is if we close the borders which is not going to happen. If you are trying to get out of a place where people are dropping like flies you are going to do whatever it takes to get out. That is human nature. I am sure that is what he did. We have to not forget the real problem is once he came here he told the medical professionals he was there and they didnt do what they were supposed to do. Boots on the ground, nurses, medical office assistants, everyone has to work in concert so that this cant spread in the United States, bottom line. My thanks to dr. Corey hebert.

Available at walmart exactly one month today on november 4 it is election day. Democrats just got some of the best, probably the best Economic News for all six years of the obama presidency. The Unemployment Rate which reached over 10 early in president obamas tenure is under 6 , the lowest since july of 2008 before the wall street melt down. Last month the economy added nearly a quarter million new jobs, much stronger than expected. This morning moments ago the president touted the new numbers in his weekly address. This progress has been hard, but it has been steady and it is real. It is a direct result of the american peoples drive and determination and the decisions made by my administration. This is the campaign season. Plenty of Democratic Candidates trying to distance themselves from the president. In a speech thursday in his hometown of chicago or near his hometown of chicago obama tied himself to all of the candidates. Im not on the ballot this fall. Michelle is pretty happy about that. But make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot, every single one of them. So this is it. We are in the mid Term Campaign stretch. Democrats are scrambling to keep it. There is a lot of big things in the news besides this. Where do we stand with one month to go until these mid term elections . Here are discuss are Jessica Taylor and founder of the reproductive groups advocate group, liz winstead. Josh, you are the econguy. Seems to me looking at that, that is the best news they have gotten on the jobs front since obama has been president. It is not just this months jobs report. It means we have added between 2. 6 million jobs. For several years we were stuck at the 2 million jobs pace. The economy really is picking up and that is good news. I think the president is still in a difficult position to really go out and campaign about that because people dont feel like the economy is great because the economy isnt great. It has taken six years to get to this point. What is interesting about this election is that we are getting out of years of permanent crisis. For years people hated what was coming out of washington. The 2010 and 2011 elections had enormous implications. People can reasonably argue about how important. Congress is probably not going to do very much regardless of whether democrats hold the senate or republicans take it over. It mostly matters for judicial nominations. This may contribute to low Energy Around the election. That is something i had been thinking about is the choices. If you say the republicans are going to keep the house the question is the senate. Do you have a lot of grid lock or just gridlock . I feel sometimes people may have figured it out. I think thats why clearly all the energy is on the senate right now. The big question of whether it flips and things. Even trying to get through a new attorney general is going to be difficult whether they try to do it in the lame duck or new congress. This is the best news that they have gotten coming off a disappointing august jobs number which democrats were cringing at. Do you think it translates into anything for democrats . I think it can give a little uptick. It may be too little too late. When you are sitting at home and when this is affecting you real time you are not going to care about the numbers coming out. It is like the Kitchen Table politics of it. If you are not feeling the economic boost, was i better off six years ago. When obama gave the speech at northwestern and said i am not on the ballot but policies are, you could feel the cringe. That was the sound you didnt want when you have a president mired in the 30 and approval rating. 30 , he is the biggest drag on them in these states that they need to win in. I think it probably is a little too little too late. A month out, a can remember a year ago at this time we are saying the government is shut down and this is the big issue for 2013 and healthcare. Gov goes bonkers. Where do you think the mood of the country is right now . I think the mood of the country, i dont know if there is a mood of the country versus a mood of where the particular races are being run. It is interesting to me to watch the incumbent races versus when the seat is opening up to two different people. When you look at the infighting and like a chicken in my lawn that is a giant issue or michigan with how those ads
