Being being turkey as turkey considers a counterattack. Ebola, anybody who had contact with ebola in dallas, meanwhile how to contain the disease. Decades old Henry Kissinger proposal to clobber cuba. We begin tonight with live pictures from hong kong where it is now 8 00 a. M. Thursday morning and the cries for democracy continue to grow stronger. Demonstrators in those umbrellas and tents say they intend to escalate their peaceful protests today, if hong kongs chief executive does not step down. And the activates are threaten tod and the activists are threatening to respond. As they did had 25 years ago in tienanmen square beijing. We will have the latest in hong kong just ahead. First our top story. The resignation of Julia Pearson. The secret service chief. After tough questioning, she offered her resignation and the white house accepted it. Mike viqueria has the story. Mike. When it comes to the safety of the president there is no margin of error. The writing was on the wall. Wednesday morning the white house insisted Julia Pearson was more than qualified to continue as director of the secret service. By the afternoon she was gone. Over the last several days weve seen recent and accumulating reports raising questions about the performance of the agencies and the president concluded that new leadership of that agency was required. The latest shoe to drop a contractor armed with a gun who had prior arrests for assault was allowed onto an elevator with president obama during his september 16th trip to atlanta. The white house says the secret service had left it in the dark about the encounter. But the white house first learned of that incident yesterday afternoon shortly before it was reported by before it was publicly reported buy news organization. By a news organization. After that report pearsonsinginspearsonsstar f. It just points to the need for atop to bottom reconfiguration of this agency. Reporter soon after resigning pearson told bloomberg news, its painful to leave an organization reeling from a security breach. This was a noble ethnic do. Have you ever heard of these guys . Its not very costly. You could subscribe. Pearsons departure came over technicalling grilling she took from omar gonzalezs entering the white house. With pearson now gone the white house has towrn turned to a famr face, joe clancy takes over as the interim intri head of the a. When will there be a permanent head . Exeaactually an appointee. Reviewing procedures within the secret service, their report is due within december. Its likely well get a new head if not clancy before then david. It is clear members of congress were able to essentially humiliate the head of the secret service. What would it take to change the culture of that agency . We talked about the writing ton wall and certainly the leading democrat nancy pelosi coming out in favor of having pearson step down was a further erosion of support. And it obviously became untenable for her to continue on. I think david there are parallels with the va. You remember the scandals around Eric Shinseki over veterans having to wait long periods of time. The Management Structure needs a review, not just a review but a change in the culture. You look at the incident in atlanta. The difference between what happened on the north lawn with the penetration of the white house, that was in private. They couldnt hide this one, the president wasnt told about it, the white house wasnt told about it, that really does raise alarms at the white house and in congress. Mike viqueria, thank you. Back to our other top story. The ultimatum, the bein directof hong kong needs ostep down. Rob mcbride what do you hear now . In hong kong things gradually domgraduallycoming to life. Looking to their barricades and shifting their positions as we get into yet another day of protest here. This is the second day of a Public Holiday celebrating chinas national day, so while numbers have been fluctuating they declined considerably overnight. We are expecting to see yet thousands more protesters out onto the streets today and today of course is also deadline day. Thursday has been set as the day when organizers expect their demands to be met, or they will escalate this action. They want to see c. Y. Lunge, he is the leader of hong kong, the chief executive, resign. Also commit hong kong to the reforms that organizers here will lead to true democracy. They dont want the version of democracy offered by hong kong or beijing authorities. Those are the demands. They have said they will start targeting specific offices they havent said which buildings or offices they will be but they threatened to force themselves into these offices, technically breaking the law, they call it civil disobedience, technically unlawful, takes it to a new level. There will be different charges, different penalties for this kind of action. But they say they have to do this if the government is going to be moved. David. And rob, if they do decide to go into some of these government buildings, how easy or difficult would it about for a protestor to get in and beefing up security for these confrontations that may ensue . Reporter there are a lot of buildings here, a lot of government buildings, they are open because they are government facilities. It would be easy to get into a number of them which we saw at the end of last week. They managed to get into the area that preempted this whole mass sit in now when the students occupied the main government headquarters here. It is possible to get in. The fear is of course that the guards are going to stop them, the police or the riot police. Those people they tackled with, the use of tear gas, this action could prompt a return to that violence. And for several days these demonstrations have been peaceful. David. Rob thanks for that update. Chi ling joinings us from watertown, massachusetts. Ms. Chi, these demonstrations have been brought back to 1989 to all of you in tienanmen square. What goes through your mind when you be watch these actions in hong kong . Great joy and we know in the past 25 years the Chinese Government tried to erase the 1989 movement and now we see the movement replayed in the new generation. We want the new generation to be protected from the devastating massacre we have received. As a prelog to this, the way they were able to stand up they have achieved a huge victory today. The anxiety they must feel, you probably have better insight than anybody. This is a picture of you, in tienanmen square, you have a megaphone to talk to people there. Were you anxious at all in tienanmen well . Probably and it was more a great sense of peace and as though we were standing on the front edge of our country asking for the very freedom, now i know god put that longing in our heart. So i almost felt like i was meant to do that at the time. So seeing the Young Students now, rising up in hong kong, and just brought a lot of joy and delight in my heart as well. Comparing these two protests in tienanmen square there were some pretty clear set leaders of the protest. In hong kong there isnt a leader per se. Is that a positive or a negative in your view . I think both. One hand, it might be harder for media to try to figure out their emotion their voice but on the other hand it is pert because it create more of better because it creates more of a sent of equals and we as the new generation can really spread the movement and the message by our own social media, each become a hero in their own circle. No government will be able to erase that from their memory, from their own personal journey. It is a delight to see and to watch. There are some experts that suggest that because this is not happening on the chinese mainland that perhaps china will stop short of the kind of aggressive tactics they took 25 years ago. Do you agree with that . Its a great question. And it certainly would be wise for the chinese leadership to stop doing anything violent as they did in 1989 and their job is to be good servant for the people. And its about time for them to really administer juftsdz for thufts justice to the people. One country two systems. Its time to deliver what they promised. Ms. Chi thanks for being with us. We appreciate it. Youre more than welcome. Thank you. Coming up at the half hour well tell you about the intriguing way the hong kong protesters try the complk with each other to communicate with each other even though the Chinese Government cuts on internet and cell phone service.

L, 5 30 pacific, 8 30 eastern time. Henry kissingers secret plan to, quote, smash cuba. Today we learned that nearly 40 years ago a you know, secretary of state was making plans to launch an allout attack on cuba. Henry kissingers plan, the goal in kissingers words, smash cuba. Its all coming from a batch of newly declassified government documents. Paul beban is here with the report. These are transcripts of a series of conversations between secretary kissinger, president gerald forward and a few National Security members. Just how willing kissinger was to go to war. In late 1975, the middle of the cold war, cuban leader fidel castro took a step that we now know almost provoked a drastic response from the u. S. Castro sent cuban troops to the african nation of angola. Global dominance between the u. S. And the soviet union. I think were going to have to smash castro he told president gerald ford, in an Oval Office Meeting in 1976. We cant probably do it before the election. The president s reply, i agree. Recounted in a new book, back channel to cuba. I think the president was personally offended he had held out an olive branch to castro and castro through it aside. Months later, another Oval Office Conversation with the president. Kissinger ment i think we have to being clobber them. Kissinger was so angry, you could hear it in his voice when you read the transcript of his conversations with president gerald ford. We have to demand they get out of africa. Reporter kissingers plan included mining ports, he warned any assault on cuba could trigger a superpower showdown. The way kissinger recommended them opresident ford was really shocking. This would lead to a confrontation with the you soviet union. Withdrawal of soviet missiles. There would be no halfway measures, we would get no reward for using military power in moderation. But in the end kissingers plans went into the dust bin of history, in november 1976 when jimmy carter was elected president. They reached out to comment to kissinger and to Donald Rumsfeld and david no surprise, both declined. Paul, its amazing, this sounds like Henry Kissinger was basically contemplating world war iii. The cuban missile crises if not far worse. Kissinger said if the u. S. Moves against cuba it needs to be prepared for general war. That sounds like an all out confrorconfrontation with the st union. Liberia is at the breaking point. The african nation is in dire need to help the ebola crisis. Welcome back to al jazeera america. Im david schuster. John siegenthaler is off. Coming up new details on the first ebola case diagnosed in the United States including the children the patients may have come into contact with.
