carolina. and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. and we begin with that grim milestone in the battle against ebola. while there are isolated cases in the u.s. and europe, the disease continues to flourish in its epicenter in west africa, and there is no end in sight. the world health organization now counts more than 10,000 cases, most in liberia, sierra leone and guinea. and the w. hvlgts o. says nearly half of the cases have been fatal. nearly 50 people are quarantined over ebola fears in mali. most are in one town where a 2-year-old girl died on friday. she was the country's first confirmed case. mauritania has closed its boarder with mali. they had already banned travel from its ebola-infected neighbors. samantha power is traveling to the epicenter, guinea, sierra leone. and the army has taken over the u.s. mission to fight ebola in liberia. it will build field hospitals and test laboratories. well, in the u.s. there is heated debate over how to handle the ebola threat. new york and new jersey now require a 21-day quarantine for health workers returning from the ebola hot zone. illinois has a similar plan for health care workers, anyone who's had contact with an ebola patient. critics say it is going too far. others say it is necessary. >> we do not have a vaccine. we do not have a cure. we only have treatment. and one thing i understand. a virus constantly trying to mutate and find a new host to live on, quarantine is the only thing that breaks the link. that's the only way right now of stopping it except for treatments and hoping that those survive. for those who had direct contact with persons with ebola. >> other lawmakers disagree and say the real priority should be stopping the disease at its source in west africa. >> we need to realize, ebola is not transmitted by air like the flu or something else. so if south korea doesn't have a temperature or other symptoms they're not contagious. they're not going to make other people sick. people will leave these three countries, go other places and make their way to the united states. we don't have any non-stop flights from these three countries to the united states. everybody who leaves them flies through someplace else. and so, so you're not going to be able -- we shouldn't delude ourselves to think we're going to be safe if we say we're having a travel ban. >> well, a nurse just back from treating ebola patients? sierra leone is speaking out. this is her, tracy hickcox. and she's now under a quarantine. an initial test for the disease came back negative. she wrote about her experience in the dallas morning news and we quote, i am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airport when is they dough claire that they have been fighting ebola in west africa. i'm scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear, and most frightening, quarantine. meantime, dr. craig spencer is receiving treatment in new york. nancy writebol, you might remember her. she's an ebola survivor. gave him some of her plasma. she became ill while working with a chair. the u.s. cdc is trying to track down anyone who may have had contact with him. nick valencia shows us how contact tracing is done. >> reporter: it is a race against the clock to find out who may have had some kind of contact with craig spencer. it starts with patient zero, in this case, spencer. and through interviews, they will be able to find out where he's been and who he may have had contact with. they either isolate and quarantine that contact or monitor that contact over the 21-day incubation period. they check their temperature, make sure they don't have a fever. in this case, with spencer, we know at least three people had direct contact with him, including his fiance and two friends. county health officials say they are under quarantine and are being monitored for the ebola virus but so far are doing well. for an embattled city in syria, where isis is trying to take over, help is on the way. kurdish peshmerga forces are expected soon there. and many of these forces have female fighters. we'll take a look at this story coming up next here. also ahead, they've taken up arms to protect people from isis. more about it coming up. we have this story just in to cnn. a report of deadly syrian air strikes in homs province. government planes have killed at least 18 people, including ten children. the observatory for human rights says 16 of the 18 were from the same family. they expect the casualty figure to go up. there were a number of injuries. and some people may be buried in the rubble. well, iraqi forces battling to keep isis in check are battling near baghdad. meantime, allied commanders say u.s.-led forces conducted more than 20 air strikes against isis friday and saturday. they say u.s. war planes destroyed an isis artillery site near kobani. they hope to see peshmerga reenforcement across the border from turkey soon. that hope for reenforcements comes after turkey gave kurdish peshmerga troops permission to cross turkish territory to reach kobani. nick payton walsh is watching development from turkey, here he is. >> reporter: as we overlook the city today, you can still hear the sound of fierce clashes to the far east and south of the city. that is where isis in the past had tried to come in to gain territory. the question for the kurds, when do they see these iraqi kurdish peshmerga arrive to assist them. 120, maybe 200 fighters would arrive. what they really want is the weapons they bring with them, anti-tank, antiarmor the weapons. the suggestions we're hearing from fighters inside the ground as those peshmerga may move into the city through turkish territory from northern iraq, kurdistan. they may move in tonight saturday night or according to kurdish media maybe sunday. and then there's the ministry who says the whole thing is a secret and they're not going to talk about it. we feel, having been moved away from the hills, we normally stand on from the city, something is being prepared and maybe in the hours ahead they move in. that is the fighting still reasonably intense to the east and the south. lot of talk about will there be syrian rebels coming to the assistance of the syrian kurds? there's a lot of noise made about that. little evidence, it seems, to back up whether or not they can get together the thousand or so fighters that are being advertised as available to come to the assistance of kobani. the syrian kurds looking to peshmerga and the weapons they bring with them. and still the sound of clashes pretty intense over kobani today. >> so kurdish forces are providing the air force. and they include a strong contingent of females. >> reporter: meet america's new de facto de facto a lillieallies. these are kurdish forces from the ypg. within the last week, the u.s. began dropping assistance to ypg fighters defending the syrian town, the border town of kobani against isis militants. and the u.s. air power has also been striking isis militants that have been laying siege to that town to support this faction. now the ypg, if you look at their iconography, if you look at their sem bolls, they seem very similar to another kurdish faction here in the middle east known as the pkk. and here's where it gets complicated. the pkk is considered a terrorist organization by america's nato ally, turkey, because it's been fighting a guerilla war for some 30 years. and less than five years ago, the u.s. was helping turkey bomb pkk fighters in the mountains of northern iraq. but now the enemy of an enemy makes this group the u.s.'s friend in its battle against isis. now these militants have gathered here in northern syria, in one of three mini kurdish statelets that have grown up in this region since the civil war began in syria. and they're commemorating some of the people, some of the fighters who've been killed in the battle against isis, which has been going on for quite some time. if you look over here, these, many of these women, have lost sons, or husbands in this war. [ chanting ] >> and, as you can see, they're chanting "long live apo." that's the name of abdullah ojilan. he's the leader of the pkk in prison in turkey, and that's part of why america's decision to ally itself with these fighters is to controversial with this nato ally, turkey. cnn, reporting from northern syria. well, reports say three turkish soldiers have been shot and killed in southeastern turkey. they were reportedly in civilian clothing when they were gunned down. a police operation is under way to catch the killers. southeastern turkey is an area where forces have battled security forces since the 1980s. military forces battled islamic gunman. at least six lebanese soldiers were killed. 13 soldiers injured. both sides used heavy rockets and devastated parts of this popular tourist location. the gun men are sunnis, believed to support isis. >> i suspect that some of them certainly share some of isis's goals or maybe it's just an alliance of convenience. it's very difficult to say. one of the side effects of what's happening in syria with isis's fight against the syrian government there, one of the side effects is roiling affairs here in lebanon and creating, exacerbating tensions between different communities. so right now, you have people fighting probably because they feel like their community, the sunni community in lebanon is being marginalized, has been set aside in favor of the shiite community, and specifically hezbollah. they accuse the army of doing hezbollah's bidding. every time they the target the army and the army reacts, it continues this cycle, a vicious cycle. >> the fighting started friday when lebanon's army launched a security operation targeting the militants in tripoli. seven years ago in iraq, a car bomb ripped through one of baghdad's most colorful street markets. despite the threat of more attacks every day in baghdad, the books, artwork and lively debate haven't stopped. here's ben wedeman on how the street of hope thrives amid the violence. >> reporter: when you're looking for a book in baghdad, any book, you'll find it here on this street any friday. whether it's "farewell to arms" or "animal farm" or something more recent, you'll find it here. cairo writes, baghdad reads. this man has catered to baghdad's voracious readreaderst it's not just about the books. >> keeps baghdad alive. >> reporter: some tried but failed to kill that spirit. ac >>the show must go on. and this is our life. we must enjoy our life. >> reporter: and despite everything, somehow they do. what's amazing about bags dad is that despite the often grim headlines one reads coming out of here, the people have managed to maintain the ability to function to try to find a way to function in a normal manner. in the park just off the street, an artist will draw your girlfriend's picture. you can listen to music. or join lively debates on any subject under the sun. we talk about a variety of topics, economics, politics or literature, says this man, an agent. sometimes it gets a bit heated. but in the end, we're all friends. this teacher is a regular participant. there is a future, she says. like it or not, even if there's only one iraqi left, we have a future, and i'm thinking of the future. this is just a tiny corner of baghdad, of iraq. but here, in addition to books and banter, you can find hope. ben wedeman, cnn, baghdad. >> very nice look at that street market there in baghdad. well, the small u.s. city of marysville, washington is mourning after a deadly shooting at a high school. coming up

the small city is reeling from the attack. >> reporter: hundreds gather at a washington state church seeking comfort just hours after a nearby school shooting. ♪ >> reporter: it was around 10:30 a.m. pacific time when students were gathered. jaylen fryberg opened fire with a handgun, apparently targeting a specific table. >> the table he went up to, he came up from behind and had a gun in his hand. and fired about six bullets into the backs of them. and at the were his friends. so it wasn't just random. >> reporter: students scattered. many in the rest of the building thought a fire drill was under way, and many ran outside. >> sitting side me. i heard the shots and i ran. >> reporter: in the hallways, teachers started herding others into classrooms and ordering a lockdown. someone placed a 911 call. and by 10:40 police were swarming the building. >> the west side of the gymnasium. >> reporter: going room to room, placing tape over the rooms they had already secured so they knew what had been checked. and in the process, they discovered the gunman, by noon, saying he was dead, apparently having shot himself. a female student was killed in the attack and four students are hospitalized. the grandfather of one of the su vie -- survivors says they were related. >> they're cousins. >> reporter: the freshman athlete was recently elected homecoming prince. but his social media accounts paint different pictures. one shows his active engagement with the tualip tribe. he says it breaks me. i know it seems like i'm sweating it off, but i'm not, and i never will be able to. and he sent this. it won't last. it will never last. for students who lived through the attack, it's a day they will never forget. >> i heard the guns, and turned around, and he's pulling and shooting at everyone. there's blood everywhere, and some got on other girls' faces and stuff. >> hmm, what a horrible or. and we'll learn more about why he did this. take a look at a bright spot. a local photographer took a picture of a rainbow over the school after a very rainy day there. well, yesterday our meteorologist ivan cabrera showed us pictures of piles of cars in athens. we weren't quite sure how they got there. but we have the video. >> incredible amount of rain coming down. >> backed up. >> they were stacked up. and i have those pictures for you in a second here. but there we go. 90 millimeters of rainfall. that is a lot of rain when you get it in two hours. can you imagine that? their monthly average is about 52 millimeters. so we're talking, my goodness, almost twice the monthly average in two hours. and that, of course, resulted in the dramatic pictures that natalie and i were just watching yesterday coming in. just all these cars piled on top of each other. this was the end result of what began as a river coming down through the streets of athens in greece. take a look at this. we've been showing this. these images just in dramatic fashion here as the water came down so quickly. can you imagine waking up, sure, it's cloudy, a few showers coming. and then all of a sudden this deluge hiere, and you don't hav much time to get out of the way. and thankfully people did. and no reports of significant injuries. not only in greece, but turkey has been getting rain as well. 72 hour loop here, the low slowly moves to the east. and this is where we get in trouble with these upper lows. they get cut off from the steering currents here until they get left behind. you get all the weather moving west to east. and more to come. more rain on the way for the same areas here. so we're going to continue here with the possibility of localized flooding. on the western flank of this low we're moving the air from north to south. and that means we're cooling things off. with a little bit of moisture coming in from the med and aegean sea, sofia may get in on some snow. look at bucharest right now at 2. and kiev sitting at 0. a little bit milder to the west, but not all that much. we are certainly well into fall. let's update you on tropical cyclone here in the arabian sea. here's oman. it will peak over water. so that is the good news. the bad news is that it will eventually land across karachi here about friday morning. the winds will not be 140 by then. it will continue to weaken as far as the winds, but it is going to be a big rainmaker for pakistan. >> and they've had a lot recently. the race is on to find a vaccine for ebola. just ahead, we'll talk about the race and how soon we might see a vaccine. also, is the war against isis creating a new threat at home for western nations? what experts are saying about these recent attacks we saw this week. you're watching cnn live. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and

vaccine. there are hopes to have 12 million doses ready for the first quarter of next year. michael holmes has more. >> reporter: it's a process that usually takes years. but in the race to beat the ebola epidemic, doctors and scientists are speeding up efforts to create a vaccine against the virus in a matter of months. world health organization officials say trials are now under wray in the united kingdom, united states, and mali. >> these are the two most vaccines have stopped it. and result in these trials will be available in december. >> reporter: drug manufacturers are currently working on at least five other potential vaccines. w.h.o. officials will determine which works best in trials and then hope to have hundreds of thousands of doses ready for use in west africa by the middle of next year. >> vaccine is not the magic bullet. but when ready, they may be a good part of the effort to turn the tide of this epidemic. >> reporter: first in line for experimental trials, health care workers on the front lines against ebola, including liberia where the virus continues to spread. more than 400 new cases were reported there last week alone. doctors at this hospital in monrovia say they're still suffering from a shortage of beds and staff to crete the infected. >> it will cause a steerous stint in our economy and our social relationships. and it has caused a lot of suffering. >> reporter: germany is the latest country to send volunteers on a humanitarian mission. training started for members of the army and red cross with intensive drills on everything from

can go wrong. >> reporter: more international help and hope for a vaccine. both can't come soon enough in west africa. michael holmes, cnn. well, we have more now on one of our top stories. the war against isis. some say western nations are inviting danger on the home front by fighting the militants in iraq and syria. cnn's amy lafort takes a look at that. >> reporter: with each bomb that falls in the u.s. air strikes against isis in iraq and syria, the threat of extremist recruits and lone wolf terrorists hits closer to home. >> isil clearly poses an immediate threat. we also know that thousands of foreign fighters, including europeans and more than 100 americans have traveled to syria. these fighters exploit isil's safe haven. >> reporter: threats followed by action. >> the fighting has just begun. >> reporter: in september, this individual yes surfaces, showing an isis militant presiding over the execution of syrians, speaking with what sounds like an american accent. >> the war is only beginning to intensify. >> reporter: ten days later at a factory in oklahoma, alton nolan walks into his former place of employment and beheads a co-worker. thi they are considering whether his act was an act of terrorism. >> he was using some arabic terms during the attack, that's one of the reasons the fbi is involved. this week, three teenage girls play hooky from their school in the colorado and made it halfway to syria before they were stopped. >> she had been tweeting to her friends and discussing this plan to go to syria and strike a blow for justice, as they saw it. >> reporter: after opening fire on canada's parliament, authorities reveal ottawa gunman michael zahaf bibeau was trying to get a passport and had connections to jihadists in canada. >> i think the passport figured prominently in his motives. >> reporter: the very next day in new york, a man attacks a p group of police officers with a hatchet. authorities call it an act of terror carried out by a radicalized muslim convert. >> he has an extensive social media presence, visiting websites that are focused on designated terrorist groups, al qaeda, isis, al shabab. >> reporter: raising more questions about how much the involvement in the war on terror overseas is creating a new terror threat at home. >> self-radicalized, and a security nightmare. lone wolf terrorists are hard to track. tom foreman reports on this worrying new trend. >> reporter: out of the gunfire in ottawa, the emerging picture of the shooter is what intelligence services fear most, a largely self-radicalize person attacking a target he has chosen. a lone wolf. >> this is something that he talked about before this incident in kacanada, before we saw the emergence of isil as a threat here in the united states. >> reporter: it made it harder for groups like al qaeda involving foreign players, and this is what has risen in the wake. smaller attacks by terrorists who live in the countries they target. they are inspired by jihadi websites and sometimes trained during brief trips to extremist camps. and they act alone or in very small groups. officials say the boston marathon bombings are a good example. but so are many others. in 2009, an attack at ft. hood in texas heaves 13 people dead. and in arkansas, a soldier shot dead at a recruiting station. in 2012, three soldiers and four civilians, including children, are slaughtered in france. in 2013, a british soldier is butchered on the streets of london. and this year, three people are gunned down at a jewish museum in belgium. a woman is beheaded at her job in oklahoma. and just before the ottawa attack, two canadian soldiers are hit with a car. one dies. in each case, security analysts say the attacks appear tied to radical islam, often to recent converts. they are also very hard for intelligence services to track. >> one of the reasons is the natural zealousness that converts have but also the lack of understanding early on in their conversion. so people have grown up with the faith can see that more easily than people who just converted to the religion can see that. >> reporter: arguably a lot of these so-call terrorists have a good deal in common with school shooters or other mass murderers. but by attaching themselves to the gjihadi movement they becom murderers with a mission, spreading fear in the process. this is a big day in brazil. polls open in little more than an hour for its tight presidential election in decade a s. coming up, we'll look at the president am tnd the opposition they head in to a runoff. and another look at football. but will fans in the u.s. be awake to watch? tensions are high in the west bank where two key palestinian funerals are being held today. one is for a 14 year old killed friday during clashes with israeli forces. israel's army says the teenage boy was about to hurl a molotov cocktail into a busy highway. others say he was only throwing rocks at israeli police. today's other funeral is for a motorist shot dead by israeli authorities wednesday just after his car ran over pedestrians in jerusalem, killing a 3 month old baby girl. . ukrainians cast ballots today. pro-western president poroshenko hopes his party will win a clear majority so his reforms can be implemented, but the vote is expected to further expose the divide between the west and russian sim pathizers in the eastern part of the country. separatists plan to block voting in some districts and hold their own elections next month. brazilians head to the polls in a runoff vote. and shasta darlington reports the ruling worker's party faces its biggest challenge yet. >> reporter: yes, in brazil too, it's the economy stupid. but the economy will mean different things for different people during the elections. there's leftist worker's party or pt, supported by millions who climbed out of poverty and into the working class thanks to benefits and subsidies. i'm going to vote for dillma, says this organizer. i'm worried about going backwards in terms of wealth distribution. then there's this social democrat preferred by the markets and middle class. he's vowed to rein in inflation. for many, he just represents change after 12 years under the pt. my vote will go for him, she says, because the pt promises and promises, but never gets anything done. racef won the first vote. but not enough to prevent a runoff. now it's a dead heat. a pollster says they have opposing strategies. he has to convince the emerging middle class that he's the vehicle of change, he says, whereas dilma must underscore the successes of the last few years. last year, a million people took to the streets to demand better schools and hospitals and denounce corruption. the most recent scandal involves a kickback scheme with an oil company, petrobas. the plan will be to narrow that income gap and jump start the economy. sao paulo. fans are in for a treat at wimbley today. could we see a

here it will be 1:30 in the afternoon. and we do have this feature moving in. but i think we'll be okay as far as london is concerned as far as the radar. weather staying to the north here. so clouds for today and temperatures will be doing just fine. so the weather's going to the north of the game here. so excellent news. and that's the way the pre-cast is showing over the next 48 hours. so nfl in london. how about it? 16 degrees before you panic, if you're watching it from north america, that is 61 in fahrenheit. 16 celsius. a lot of clouds around, but i think we'll do just fine. no liquid coming out of them. atlanta falcons with detroit. so exciting stuff. let's head over to the united states and show what you's been happening around the pacific northwest. round two of what has been a siege of storms the last week or so. we had one last week hitting the northwest. now we're in the middle of one. and then we have another one coming up for early next week. look at these wind gusts. 75 to 94-mile-per-hour winds. that is certainly hurricane-force winds coming in. and that has resulted in numerous power outages from seattle, portland, points to the south. so that will continue through today, and power crews will be out there trying to get the power on, because it is off in many areas. satellite radar showing the bulk of the moisture pushing off to the east. with the higher elevation that moisture is falling in the form of snowfall and will be accumulating from 4 to 6 inches of snowfall. 2 to 3 inches of rainfall. and this is what's levft over from hurricane ana. this low here, which is ana will combine with another feature to the north, and all of this will be crashing into british columbia and the moisture associated with it will be coming in through the pacific northwest as well. vancouver, portland, seattle will be getting in on that, and even parts of northern california i think a little bit as well. but as you siee the actual low itself. >> you and i will be watching that football game because we'll still be awake. >> yeah. a space x dragon returns. it splashed into the pacific ocean saturday. nasa says it's carrying back a payload of critical research on human spaceflight in deep space. the dragon won't be on the ground long. its next mission could come before the end of the year. thank you for watching. i'm natalie allen at cnn center. my colleague zane asher is with you for the next hour with new reaction to the new ebola quarantine rules in the unit and why they're causing controversy. much more ahead here. stay right here. we'll see you. every day people fall, from a simple misstep, to tripping over a rug, to just losing their balance. and not being able to get up from a fall can have serious lifetime consequences. being prepared is important. philips lifeline with autoalert is more than just a medical alert button. it's an advanced fall-detection system, designed to get you help quickly. if you fall and you're unable to push your button, the fall detection technology within autoalert can trigger the button to automatically place a call for help. philip's lifeline has saved more lives than any other medical alert service. this is philips lifeline, we received a fall detected signal. do you need help?

well, that's exactly what investigators claim student athletes did at the university of north carolina for 18 years. we're going to discuss this really stunning revelation that was revealed during the course of a long investigation. why does this even happen to begin with? >> yeah, so what they found was that this all started with one professor's assistant who was sympathetic basically who students who weren't the best and the brightest. that's a quote from her. she was also a huge fan of unc basketball. she would sometimes miss work if they lost. and the athletic advisers and academics -- yeah, academic advisers in athletics began to take advantage of this pushing athletes into these classes when they were on the brink of eligibility so even if they couldn't compete in the classroom they could still compete on the field. >> i can't imagine what would necessitate that. i was a student athlete in college. i know what kind of resources student athletes are given, tutors, computer labs, to be able to succeed academically. what are coaches saying about this? >> it's interesting. so everyone is asking do the coaches know if the advisers knew, do the coaches know, some of them did. what the report found was that former head football coach john bunsing he admitted he knew about it. his successor butch davis admitted some knowledge of the paper classes. he was fired in 2011 after this was all revealed. i wanted to know, dean smith, he is a legendary basketball coach in that state. he was at unc for 36 years. he's an icon. anyone who follows college basketball knows of dean smith. the report found no findings on him and his staff so no evidence that he knew about this. he retired in 1997. these classes started in 1993 which coincidencely is also a year they had a basketball championship. but the current head basketball coach roy williams he is adamant that he knew nothing about this. and he actually just spoke about this just reacted to this report and i want you to hear what he had to say. >> i didn't like the fact that we had so many guys in the same major. i didn't think it was -- made sense. people have different things that they like. we'd go in had home at that time even more strong and say what would you like to major in and we allowed kids to choose any major. after our second year, i think the rest of that time kids that we recruited had one guy majored in african-american studies because i didn't like the clustering. and, yes, they made very good grades. but i want our guys to be able to choose what they wanted to choose. things that have happened for a long time it's very disappointing. we're all really extremely sad about it. i'll always be sad about the image that we have right now around the country. we've had one of the greatest images we can possibly have, and we're going to work as hard as we can possibly work to have that image be back to where it was. there's not been a day in my life that i haven't tried to do the right thing academically and get my kids to be concerned about the academic side. >> all this being said, 18 years this was going on, what are the repercussions? >> so, the ncaa is taking another look. they previously said it was an athletic scandal. but now they are coming back with a full copy of this report, 131 pages and almost 900 pages of supplement documents, e-mails, they could easily come back and say some of the wins were not legitimate. i think at least two men's basketball championships are definitely in jeopardy in 2005 and 2009. that was the height of the scandal when most of the students enrolled in these classes were taking them. >> crazy. thanks. >> of course. in new york, health officials are now putting a time line together that traces and retraces the footsteps of ebola patient craig spencer. we'll show you how they are putting this timeline together next. come on! let's hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car?

>> what we know is the virus will have been slowly replicating in his bloodstream and in his body through the whole period since he acquired it and developed a fever and that means that potentially his bodily fluids would have virus which could be contagious but i think it's really important to say that the viral levels are so low that i think the chance of him infecting anyone are as close to zero as you can reasonably say. i would say there's about as much chance of catching ebola on him on the subway as there was from catching hiv from someone who was hiv positive. i think it is incredibly unlikely. the contact tracing is partly to make sure there was no big instant, he didn't cut himself open or get drunk and vomit and as far as we can tell nothing like that has happened. i think no one in new york city other than his very close contacts and particularly his fiance are likely to have been exposed and even them are fairly safe. >> none of them are showing no symptoms. >> other people on airplanes and in the early stages didn't infect anyone. >> doctor, say with me. we'll talk to you on the other side of this break. new york and new jersey imposing new mandatory quarantines for anyone traveling from a country in west africa, been treating patients with ebola. will this prevent health care workers from wanting to travel to west africa and help eradicate the virus?

>> like i said, it goes back to this idea of, you know, solidarity and equity. it's kind of like if you're a firefighter and you signed up to fight fires, and there's a fire, well, you should go fight that fire. >> reporter: nick valencia, cnn, aniston, alabama. >> what a guy. let's talk more about this and the news that more stringent airport procedures will begin in new york and new jersey. i'm joined by assistant professor at uc san francisco dr. le in los angeles, the doctor you saw there in nick valencia's story. also here with me in new york is cnn medical analyst dr. alexander van tulleken. i want to start with you, dr. le, the mandatory quarantines that go into effect for those returning to new jersey and new york, what do you make of that? >> well, ana, you know, we as health care professionals and scientists we know the science behind it. and as the other doctor mentioned, the risk to the general public is very small. however, we are also not governors and mayors of large populations. so, their considerations are much broader than ours. and so with the input of the cdc and other health professionals, if their decision that for the best of california -- of new york and new york city is to impose that quarantine on returning health care workers, then i have no opposition to it. however, i do want to say that, like you mentioned, people are giving up their livelihoods to go and volunteer to serve on the front lines. when they come back and are quarantined for those 21 days, i urge the hospitals and their employers to do as much as they can to support them so that they don't lose health benefits or salary because they went out and did that volunteer work. >> that is such a great point, and we really do salute your bravery and dedication to helping the people in west africa. we know you leave in just ten days from now and you telling us you are still planning to go despite these new mandatory quarantines is really a valiant thing i think. dr. van tulleken i want to ask you in terms of people you are talking to in this medical industry, will this keep doctors from traveling to west africa? i know that's one the criticisms of these quarantines. >> i think this are two issues. firstly it is a disincentive to go. i really do think that people doing the kind of work that dr. le are doing are absolute heroes because they are making us safer. it's not that they are just doing good work and responding to a humanitarian crisis the only way we get less in new york is by having less in west africa. it's not been thought through carefully. we don't know how they are going to be supported and this encourages people not to tell the truth. in the end and we've heard the governor say voluntary quarantine is not going to be enough. there's not a man with a gun keeping people inside. we don't have the facilities to house people in the kind of comfort they deserve, the screening at the airport, and not all of them will be doctors without borders or other organizations and there's a real concern that people won't be telling the truth when they get back and in the end the imposition will be expensive and i would say completely pointless. >> it should be worth mentioning that that doctor, dr. craig spedgeer, who is now battling ebola in new york city, he was with doctors without borders an organization that has an extreme amount of experience in how to handle this whole situation with ebola there in west africa and doing things to the "t" as we've heard our dr. sanjay gupta talk about. what do you make of the fact that this doctor spencer seems to be, being called both a hero and a villain to some degree because he came down with ebola and he had been out in the general population prior to getting a fever? >> well, i don't know personally dr. spencer, but i do know that he was following the protocols of doctors without borders. and i have personal experience working with many physicians in that organization. i spent two months working in the cholera epidemic addressing that crisis in haiti in 2010, and i can assure you that doctors without borders as an organization is highly professional and highly committed to this work. and they are absolutely the best out there. >> dr. le, are you scared at all to go over there? >> well, i just left a 2 1/2-year-old and an anxious wife to come and talk to you. so, you know, it's -- it's absolutely false if i say that i'm not anxious. but just like i mentioned in that other story with nick valencia, a firefighter would be anxious to go in a raging fire that's not contained but, you know, he or she has had years of experience and training to protect him or herself and that's how i feel. i've had many years of training. i've been in the field. i've had the cdc training. and i think i will go in with eyes wide open. it doesn't mean that i'll have no risk, but i've done everything i can to minimize that risk. >> well, we certainly wish you the best of luck and we hope that all goes well for you. thank you for the work you're doing. >> thank you, ana. >> thank you both for joining me as well, dr. van tulleken. top of the hour, you are in the cnn noirm, i'm ana cabrera, thanks for being here. we begin with the fight against ebola in america and the decision by the governors of new york and new jersey to quarantine health care workers flying into jfk and newark from ebola-affected
