Thank you. Woodruff from now on, people flying to the u. S. From three west african countries will have to enter through one of five airports to be screened for ebola. The announcement today named the five as new yorks j. F. K. International, newark liberty, washington dulles, chicago ohare and atlantas hartsfield jackson. The white house is under political pressure for an outright ban on travel from west africa, but spokesman josh earnest again dismissed that option. A travel ban would only serve to put the American People at greater risk. The reason for that is simply if you institute a travel ban they can feel the true nature of their travel history in an attempt to enter the country. Woodruff last night, the centers for Disease Control released new ebola guidelines for health care workers. Today, the c. D. C. Staged a mass Training Exercise in new york city.

Woodruff Islamic State fighters in syria are claiming they seized weapons airdropped by the u. S. Yesterday. The guns and ammunition were meant for kurds defending the town of kobani. Video posted online showed militants looking through crates of rocketpropelled grenades and other arms. They also posted sarcastic thank you notes. At the pentagon, rear admiral john kirby acknowledged a least one load went astray. But he said the overall air campaign is helping. What i can tell you is that the constant pressure from the air and its not insignificant, the pressure from the ground by these Kurdish Forces has done a lot to keep isil at bay from taking the whole town. Woodruff kirby also said the campaign against Islamic State forces has cost 424 million since august. Ifill there was no letup today in the barrage of bombings in iraq. A series of attacks in or near baghdad killed at least 30 people in shiite districts. The targets were restaurants and markets, and the force of the explosions blew buildings and store fronts to shreds. Charred, mangled cars littered the streets afterward. Woodruff in afghanistan, the opium poppy crop hit a new record last year. Thats despite u. S. Counter narcotics efforts that cost 7. 6 billion over the past decade.

The meeting came as hong kongs chief executive refused again to let the public nominate candidates for elections in 2017. He did talk of a public role in choosing the nominating committee, but that didnt satisfy protesters. translated you have just mentioned some solutions, but is there a timetable or roadmap to show the people of hong kong and add their voice to the issue of political reform . I believe most hong kong people still cannot get an answer to this. Ifill demonstrators have tied up key sections of hong kong for several weeks. Woodruff south african paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was sentenced today to five years in prison for shooting his girlfriend to death. Hed been found guilty of negligent homicide. Pistorius left the court in pretoria and was driven away to begin serving his sentence. The double amputee will be confined in a prison hospital wing.

Ifill now, to an update on the ebola crisis. As more potentially infected individuals have emerged from quarantine and treatment in the u. S. In recent days, the centers for Disease Control and prevention has issued a new set of protocols designed to reduce risk for health care workers. And the department of Homeland Security announced today it will allow travelers from liberia, sierra leone and guinea to enter the country only through five airports equipped for additional screening. This evening i spoke with doctor Thomas Frieden, the executive director of the cdc. Dr. Frieden, thank yousj for joining us again. Weve had some interesting news the past few days, the news of the end of the ebola epidemic in nigeria at least, the people in quarantine in dallas and this afternoon we heard the upgraded condition of one of the nurses affected in value else. Now im wondering whether its too soon to be getting optimistic about the course of this infection. We have to keep our guard up. There are still thousands of cases in west africa, the epidemic is still increasing in sierra leone and parts of guinea, and theres no time for complacency. We absolutely need to keep it up. Ifill we talk about the new protocols you announced last night for Healthcare Workers and what difference they will make. What were doing is being more protective, adding a margin of safety and doing that in three fundamental ways. First, ensuring that Healthcare Workers know what to do to put on and take off protective gear, so theres training and practice over and over again so that its done well. Second, the gear that were recommending now has no skin exposed. They have that extra margin how far safety. And third, a trained observer watches and checks off each and every step, putting on and vtak. Thats criticallycb important to protect Healthcare Workers. Because even a single infection is one infection too many. Ifill these protocols are voluntary, are they not . We find that the hospital generally follows these safety guideline. Cdc is not a Regulatory Agency but other parts of the federal government and states can impose regulations. Ifill do these hospitals where this training will take effect do they have enough beds, enough isolation units for people. The physical space is not the hardest part but there are hard parts about that because you need a room or separate area to put on and take off the protective gear. And it doesnt require special rooms. Wh btraining, special equipment fr protion and rigorous monitoring and oversight. We found in africa and here. You need someone there full time watching and checking to make sure that there are no missteps. Ifill but you dont need to have isolation areas, isolated rooms, isolated beds . You do need a separate area to take care of patients with ebola. And there are a lot of complicated aspects of creating that. You need a clean area and a dirty area. You need an ante room, a separate lace for putting on]3 d taking off the protective gear. With this new guideline, it becomes much more challenging and requires a much more specialized approach for hospitals. But every hospital, every Emergency Department in the country needs to think ebola. For anyone with fever or other signs of infection, ask about travel history. Have you been to guinea, liberia or sierra leone in the past 21 days. If they have, stop, isolate, assess, call for help. Ifill you talk about travel experience. Today we heard from the department of Homeland Security that theyre going to limit the egress, i guess, the entrance to the United States to five airports from any of these three infected countries. Is that maybe dying people, what effect does that have. Thats actually very helpful for us. At cdc what weve done is work closely with Homeland Security and borderland protection. Were at each of these five3÷ . Q airports with a team 24 7 and what we do is ensure every person coming in thats initially screened by customs and if they either have a fever or theyve had contact with ebola, theyve come to us for tertiary screening. If we find anyone who has any symptoms and we know people with flu or colds or people who vomited on the plane because they felt bad. If theres any suspicion of ebola, then we will take them to a hospital thats prepared to deal with ebola. Ifill lets been much conversation here in washington about the appoint some people call an ebola czar what the whitehouse calls an ebola coordinator. Two questions. Is that something which is needed, is that helpful to you. And why arent you the ebola czar. Im delayed theres an ebola coordinator. Im looking forward to his visit to atlanta next week. Ive spoken to him already. And its really important that we have coordination across the whole government. We can do the Public Health part at cdc but theres so many aspects of this response that require a whole government approach for counter ability coordination, liaison functions6 troubleshooting. Theres been, everyone has been doing their part but a coordinator allows us to do that more efficiently and effectively. Ifill finally i want to ask you about the way the public has been reacting through all of this. Theres a gallop poll which says its among the top ten issues americans worry about. And theres a poll that says 41 say theyre worried that they or someone they know some Family Member will be infected. Do they have reason to worry. Its hard to gauge risk sometimes but realistically if youre a Healthcare Worker caring for one of the two patients with ebola, three patients being cared for in the u. S. Today, you should be very careful. If you are an emergency room doctor or nurse treating people with fever, you should think about ebola. For everyone else, the risk of ebola is really extraordinarily remote but we cant let our guard down. As long as the outbreak continues in africa, the risk of another traveler coming in or responder goingv2 back and gettg it is there. So it wont be here until we stop the outbreak at the source in africa. Ifill Thomas Frieden the director for the center of Disease Control and prevention. Thank you very much for joining us again. Thank you. Woodruff exactly two weeks from election day, and georgia is a surprise place democrats are suddenly hopeful about. The two candidates running for the open senate seat are first time candidates, but both come from wellknown political families. This weekend i traveled to the peach state to find out how a race between two nonpoliticians has become a nailbiter. Woodruff worshipers at the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in downtown atlanta were fired up on sunday determined to make their voices heard. We have to vote like weve never voted before. Woodruff it was the sort of stars of the Civil Rights Movement turnout youd expect in a president ial Election Year, with dr. Martin luther king juniors sister christine, arm in arm with congressman john lewis, leading the way at a large get out the vote drive called souls to the polls. But its not a president ial Election Year and the first African American president , barack obama, is not on the ballot. Except in tv spots being aired by most Republican Senate candidates this year, including david perdue here in georgia. Job losses come from bad policies in washington. The policies of president obama and Michelle Nunn. The president himself said, make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Woodruff perdue, a 64year old former Corporate Executive and first time candidate, is trying to take advantage of president obamas unpopularity with most georgia voters, by saying his democratic opponent, Michelle Nunn, would be a rubber stamp for obama policies. Its an argument that perdue supporters, like 31yearold massage therapist and mother of three, erin krenz, who regularly volunteers to make calls and knock on doors for him, enthusiastically embraces because there are so many bad policies coming out of washington that are going to kill all of the jobs, that are killing jobs right now. There are Small Business owners trying to put their heads together, figuring out how am i going to surmount this obamacare thing. Woodruff meanwhile, the 47 year old nunn, daughter of former fourterm Georgia Democratic senator sam nunn, has spent her adult life running large nonprofit volunteer service organizations. She has focused her campaign on how she wants to be a voice for moderation in washington. Someone who will work with both Political Parties to get things done. I spoke to her after she greeted people at the Morehouse College homecoming tailgate parties. I am going to work across party lines. But there are places i differ from the president. I believe we should have moved forward with the keystone pipeline. I believe the president and the congress should have done more to address our longterm debt. But i do agree with the president we should raise minimum wage. I think we should pass pay equity legislation. I think we should pass bipartisan immigration reform. Nunn has had to walk a careful line, appealing to white voters, who have lately been voting mostly republican in georgia. But not in a way that turns off black voters, whom she needs to show up in recordbreaking numbers for a midterm election. Woodruff those we spoke to say they understand the balance she must strike. Valerie dorsey rode the souls to the polls bus on sunday to cast her vote. I dont think in our politics its necessary to absolutely support the president in 100 of all his policies. But if youre able to reason. If youre able to be educated about the issues, and try to find common ground, i believe Michelle Nunn will try to do that. Woodruff Emory University political scientist merle black shes gotta get through two things, according to her own strategy shes got to get a composition of the electorate in which African Americans make up 30 of the voters. Barack obama got 98 of that vote in 08 and still lost by four to five points. Whats the other target . The other target is white voters. The democrats need at least 30 of the white vote. Woodruff black says this is a tall order for nunn, but he believes she can pull it off. He argues thats because shes run a strong campaign, while perdue has run a weak one, since he won the republican primary hes not doing the number one thing an unknown politician needs to do, and that is advertise himself. Show his stuff, get out there debate and engage. He doesnt do that right now, so this has given a tremendous opportunity for the Michelle Nunn campaign to paint their portrait of david perdue, and thats a very, very unattractive portrait. Woodruff black says nunn is trying to appeal to white voters, particularly women, by saying perdue has made a career out of outsourcing jobs to other countries. The attorney asks can you describe your experience with outsourcing. Perdue responds, yeah, i spent most of my career doing that. And when asked by reporters how he defends outsourcing perdue doubled down. Defend it . Im proud of it. Woodruff perdue was
