How are people in the dallas area responding to the news. As you can imagine, theres a lot of fear. A feeling of why is it happening in dallas. Why is this home, of so many firsts, the first diagnosed, to die or transmitted for ebola. And theres also a certain lack of confidence in what authorities are saying. They said from the beginning theyd stop the case with one patient. That was delivered loud and clear here and across the country.

Reporter the screening process at the grady hospital intensified since Thomas Eric Duncan was sent home with antibiotics after a first visit to the dallas hospital, exposing gaps in the communication process there. We dont know enough about how the infection can be treated and how best it was support. I dont think there is anything that could be said about an earlier intervention that may have made the difference. When people hear that a patient went to dallas and they sent him home with antibiot ecks, its hart not to panic. Thats where it lies on the hospitals. Specifically the Emergency Departments the Ebola Response goes beyond the confines of emergency rooms. First responders in the field are a key component.

Earlier my colleague talked to dr norman the chief medical officer at the hospital. And asked what could have led to the infection in texas . I dont know that anything went wrong so much as so much act itty in west africa. Theres a lot of traffic coming from the United States and it was pound to happen given the amount of ebola going on over there. What are the common smacks that happened to protect ebola spreading. Where does it go wrong . Well. Theres a million details. I have confidence in what the c. D. C. Tells us. The personal protective equipment and all the details in providing care rears that you have it perfect at every juncture. Thats why we talked about spotters.

Turning our attention to i. S. I. L. , theres a shift in the fight for kobane. Kiddish forces say Kurdish Forces say Coalition Air strikes are helping. Syrian activists claim i. S. I. L. Appears to have a shortage of fighters but is sending in reinforcements. The message we are getting from inside kobane, the y. P. G. Sources is one of optimism and positivity. There seems to be a change. Coalition air strikes seems to be helping. Pushing i. S. I. L. Back. There are more on the attack. Rather than an offensive stance. This is something we heard for a fighter. Ee is positive. He said once he is sick hes going back in. And they can achieve that. When you speak to some of the people, the kurd were watching this fold out in front of them. They think International Help has come too late. 200,000 refugees fled to turkey, men living under bad conditions. Theres a lot of frustration, they are not allowed to go back to fight Stefanie Dekker secretary of state john kerry says the u. S. Is concerned about the situation in kobane. But that the Coalition Strategy to fight i. S. I. L. Remains in iraq. Kobane is one community. Its a tragedy of what is happening there. We dont diminish the that. We have said from day one. It is going to take a period of time to bring the coalition thoroughly to the table, to rebuild some of the moral and capacity of the iraqi army, there has been more suicide attacks. Triple suicide bombition killing dozens. In a roadside bomb killed the police chief in the province. Reporter hospital staff are stretched as they deal with the aftermath. The bombers struck the government compound. This was a facility with kurdish peshawar soldiers and members of the Political Party, the Patriotic Union of kurdistan. Its evidence of how bloody the battle of i. S. I. L. Is. Not just in diarticle yes, out diyala, but across iraq. This is the neighbourhood. In the early evening two parked car bombs ripped through a busy marketplace. Those in the vicinity didnt stand a chance. 38 killed, 68 injured. A car bomb exploded at the checkpoint killing and wounding several poem. My son was injured and now is in hospital. This is his vehicle damaged in the attack. Residents take a look at what is left. Twisted metal and burnt out vehicles proving how powerful the bomb was. Baghdad faced daily bombings, and the city was increasing and dividing with people afraid to leave the neighbourhoods. No one claimed responsibility, but people in iraq were worried about what the future might hold. The head of the province chal council said there were boots on the ground. They didnt say if they should be nato peacekeeping forces. Thats the only way they are going to defeat i. S. I. L. And thats a few we are hearing. Particularly from sunni lawmakers that more and more there needs to be boots on the ground. Also in iraq, the fight against i. S. I. L. Is intensifyingment the u. S. Called in apache helicopters. General Martin Dempsey said i. S. I. L. Was 15 miles from the airport. I. S. I. L. Has been making games, requesting more military help from international partners. Richelle carey spoke to mikey kay a retired officer. He said unifying the forces is the key. I dont think we should, but there are problems when it comes to coordination. Ill stay away from the political. My few is military activity needs to be fused, and they are absent across the region. If you look at iraq you have the peshawar, the yazidi, the iraqi army, and a host of forces. The u. S. , brits, dutch and all of this requires coordination, all of this is ineffective unless you have coordination. It requires Ground Forces to be on the same frequency. You are talking a lot about what happens on the ground as opposed to air strikes we heard so much about. Do you think its necessary for the United States to put boots on the ground to make this work . I dont think the u. S. Should be looking at that. What i think we need to do is we need to harness forces there already. What we need to do is when we talk about arming rebels, whether it be in syria, the free syrian army,. The moderate rebels. Yes. When it comes to the kurds, thats the best example that we have of an organization that wants self rule but isnt aligned to israel ideals and could fuse with a Political Party to take the country to the future. I think the kurds are the key. That will require reconciliation between the kurds.
