Bradlee. All right, first, the american detained for the past five months in north korea is on his way home at this hour. Jeffrey fowle was arrested in pyongyang back in may, accused of leaving a bible behind at a club for foreign sailors. Now, he was freed and flown to guam where doctors say he is currently in good health. We spoke with him just last month, he joins us now live from tokyo. Well, this was seemingly all over a bible being left behind somewhere. If you think about some of our american viewers, hotels in the states come with bibles. I know north korea is a much different place. And all the for folks back at fowles church are waiting for his return. What did he do that was so bad in the first place . Yes, anybody who has been in north korea will tell you it is a completely different reality, a reality so far removed from anything that is familiar in the United States and many other countries around the world, specifically when it comes to the independent practice of religion. When you drive around this country you see pictures of the leaders, the kim family regime who has held power in this country since the end of the korean war. They have ruled korea really with an iron fist, and independent religion is viewed as a serious threat to the regime and that country. That is why you have the missionary kenneth bey, accused of trying to overthrow the government. You had Jeffrey Fowle leaving his bible in a club, he was allowed to speak to cnn to send a message to the u. S. Government and to see family. And one of the key points that north korea wanted him to get across was that he was being treated humanely. Take a listen. I cant complain, the food is good, i have a daily walk with the guides, even medical care has been furnished a couple of times. And the quarters you going a hotelsuite type of room. So i dont have any complaint about the treatment, i hope it continues whether im here two more days or decades, whatever it continues so the bottom line is youre doing okay. I am good for the time being, but im letting people know im getting desperate to help. Fowle was getting desperate, and his family, as you heard as well. For the possibility of years of confinement in north korea, now errol, he could be hours away from being united with his wife and young children. There are two other americans detained still for much longer sentences, kenneth bey and Matthew Miller. They had a different response to you than jeffrey did when you met with them. Can they expect anything any time soon based on what you have seen and what you know . The difference between fowles situation and miller and bey was that miller and bey have already been convicted of their crimes and are now serving their sentences, where as fowle never went to trial. It seemed like back door discussions had taken place in light of this situation, before fowle was brought back home. But miller, specifically, his interview was in stark contrast to Jeffrey Fowles, because he didnt answer a lot of the questions i asked him and some of his answers were very short and evasive, and i got the impression that some of the korean authorities were displeased with how he responded. After that interview, he was put on trial and convicted and began serving his sentence. Yes, north korea, a place many of us find difficult to understand. Joining us from tokyo, thank you. I wish i could say this much more often, there is encouraging news in the battle against ebola. World Health Organization says it may have a blood serum treatment ready for use in liberia within two weeks. That is huge. Serum is based on antibodiy iei extracted from the blood of ebola survivors, the cdc hopes to test it by january. Also, the cameraman who had ebola is now cured. You see him there, ashoka mukpo will be able to leave soon. And one of the infected u. S. Nurses is improving, nina phams condition is updated from fair to good. Meanwhile, the u. S. Is taking another step to halting the virus. More on the restrictions that stopped just short of an outright ban on travel from africa. Reporter it is one of the most consistent calls on the Obama Administration with both political parties. We can best help africa to take the important steps to close the door. The white house has resisted banning travel to the region, but the day before the new czar ron klain starts on the job, the new restrictions are that everybody traveling from liberia must arrive at one of five airports. The restriction should be implemented with minimal travel disruption. The five airports in washington, d. C. , chicago, new york and atlanta already account for 95 of the travel that comes from liberia, sierra leone or guinea, they are currently the only airports taking the passengers temperatures upon arrival. The new ban comes after standards came out for patients, standards that should take effect in places like texas, where two nurses contracted ebola after coming in contact with thomas eric duncan, the first person who died on american soil from ebola. It could have prevented their infection. And prevention remains the focus as the work continues to curb the threat and stop the spread of ebola. All right, news out of canada now. Police there say they have been watching a man who allegedly ran down two soldiers with his car, killing one of them. They say the man was radicalized and classified as a potentially important threat to the country. He was arrested at the airport in july, about to fly to turkey. Police say they took his passport but did not have enough evidence at the time to bring charges. It was very difficult to prevent and stop him, even if they had been watching him, yesterday morning, we didnt know his intention to use his car as a weapon. And it would have been very difficult to prevent that only after the fact because it is not a crime either to drive a car or be in the parking lot. Meanwhile, canadian authorities have raised the terrorism threat level from low to medium. They say it is not the result of a specific threat but based on general chatter they say from islamist groups. Now, three teenager girls are back home in colorado after being stopped on their way to syria to allegedly join the terrorist groups. The girls were detained in germany. Their parents had called the fbi warning that the girls were planning to go on to turkey and then go on to syria. Now, an australian teenager boy did manage to slip out of the country undetected. He has gone on to join the ranks of isis and make a name for himself. Reporter he told his family he was going on a fishing trip. They never saw him again until now. The new face of isis propaganda, a st a 17yearold australian boy, seen in this video, threatening president obama, and british Prime Minister tony abbott, he warned that isis would not stop fighting, until they put the black flag on buckingham palace, physical we put the black flag on top of the white house. We will not stop. With his red hair he is known as the ginger jihadist. He reportedly disappeared in june with a friend but had not gone fishing, he crossed the border into northern iraq, finding a new home, fighting under the black flag of isis. His familys home is in the western suburbs of sidney, the very same place where last month police foiled a homegrown terror plot and carried out the countrys largest terror raids. These people do not hate us for what we do. They hate us for who we are and how we live. Reporter this new video raising more questions about how much australias involvement in the u. S. Led war overseas is creating a new threat on their own soil. Amy laport, cnn, atlanta. Meanwhile, the battle against isis rages on in syria, more u. S. Airstrikes targeted the area in kobani on tuesday. This city may fall, and the pentagon is looking into an isis claim that it intercepted one of more than two dozen aid bundles airdropped on monday. Seeing this video, the aid includes weapons and ammunition intended to kurdish defenders. Coming up, off to an unusual start for some.

Honey, you did it baby laughs asian markets doing well there with the shanghai composite pulling back. Meanwhile, in new york, stocks surged yesterday, erasing last weeks huge losses, look at all that green, the dow jones gained almost 215 points, and the nasdaq had had its best day of the year. Traders say the industries were reacting from good earnings numbers from u. S. Firms. For example, investors are cheering for yahoo the Internet Company reporting a strong Third Quarter with revenue up a percentage point over this time last year. And this is seen as a modest win from the one you see there, the companys ceo, it sent the stock price up 3. 5 . Apple right now having problems with its new apple pay service. Surely you heard of this. It lets you pay for purchases with your smartphone or specifically with the iphone. Well, a number of people say they were overcharged, including our own samuel burke. Monday i went out to pay for the apple, and as reported here it signeen seemed fast and w off without a hitch. Today i logged onto my debit card and found out i was charged twice. Rohan tweeted problems with apple pay, it looks like my bank of america account was doublecharged by walgreens. As for me, i called my bank, bank of america as well, and they said it was not a problem on their end. It was a problem with apple pay. So they transferred me to apple. Apple said there is nothing they can do about it because as they promised for security sake, they keep no records of names or amounts for any of the transactions. So i got apple and my bank on the same line. And after an hour and a half on the phone, my bank finally refunded me the money sending me a tweet saying, hi, samuel, we apologize for the inconvenience and are working to correct this issue and duplicating transactions. My bank continued to say it was on apples pays end, no official word to me or other people i found out dealing with double apple pay. Sample burke, cnn. All right, if youre in the soda, pop, or fizzy drinks, a daily drink could age your white blood cells. The study showed that the amount was shorter than people with a regular sugar habit. The daily consumption of those drinks could equal about 4 and a half years of extra aging. The link was found only with sugar sweetened drinks, not the diet versions. And a new revolutionary technique could give hope to people around the world with severe spinal cord injury. 38yearold derek fitka was paralyzed from the chest down in a knife attack four years ago. Now a new report on the bbc showed how he was able to use a walker to get around. An anglo team used stem cells harvested inside the nasal cavity. Isa soares has more. It is very nice for me to think about, more than the science that another human being was made to have enjoyment. That is an achievement. Well, like being born again. Now, this was only one trial with one patient. But experts say if it can be replicated it could be an important step in reversing the condition thought to be permanent. And travellers in western europe, if youre about to travel check your itineraries. Were getting into the season, right . The storms roll in. And the gusty winds and of course, the snow is coming. It actually is already snowing. Just not at the lower elevations. So the alpine region is getting their biggest snowfall of the season. But the winds were the problem and the rain is coming down side ways, take a look at some of the wind gusts, to u. K. And the netherlands with this big load. Of course what was left over from the hurricane out in the atlantic. With that kind of force were talking about frees coming down, one fatality here, incredible winds coming in. Today well be in better shape. Look at the sea wall there, errol, and scotland, getting hit with the difficult waves. The winds across the u. K. , anywhere from 15 to 25, will be more gusty later this afternoon. But not what we saw yesterday. That will be reserved for areas we saw east, so belgium, netherlands, poland. So the storm is heading down to the mountains with snowfall. Lets look at the numbers here, wednesday at 1700 well see the winds there from 60 to 75. If youre traveling across this part of the world, certainly check ahead. That is what we had yesterday, because of the wind gusts that will continue this into thursday morning here. And then another system will begin to move in across the u. K. On thursday with gusty winds there, as well. But certainly not the 100 kilometer winds we saw yesterday. Flight impacts today. Long flight delays i think again, but now moving further east, brussels, paris, frankfort, take a look at the snows. If youre planning a ski trip that will be fantastic. Then by the latter part of the week well transition across the balkans here with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. So busy times in europe and busier than a lot of travellers would like. And even if youre not traveling through the airports you still want to check your flight plans. All right, ivan, well see you later. Thank you very much. Still to come on cnn, a legend in journalism. A former legacy dies, well discuss the legacy that ben bradlee leaves. Welcome back, a giant in american journalism, former the Washington Post editor ben bradlee has passed away. In his final years, bradlee battled alzheimers disease and dementia. His long career in journalism was legendary. During his career he oversaw the watergate scandal and breakin. Brian todd has more. Reporter his first battle with the Nixon Administration was over publishing the pentagon papers in 1971, leaked documents showing how poorly the war in vietnam was handled. The post was looking for a seat at the big table. We were not there yet and we very much wanted to go there. Reporter as editor of the Washington Post, he fought objections all the way to the supreme court. A year later, the stakes were even higher as he headed the newspapers coverage of the watergate scandal. And the stakes were enormous, every day, the white house, the leader of the free world would get up and attack the Washington Post, attack ben bradlee by name, attack woodward and myself. He backed us up. Reporter the reporters bob woodward also worked on the scandal. He said i cant tell you about watergate because it involves national security. Reporter ben bradlee, woodward and bernstein had help from a source called deep throat. Bradley was immortalized in the movie, and played by jason robards, as a boy he survived polio, went to harvard and served on a destroyer in world war ii, through a dozen battles. As a young reporter he became friends with young john kennedy. Bradlee always maintained a healthy skepticism of washington power players which if anything only grew stronger over time. I think there has been an enormous increase in not telling the truth. Lying. A dapper presence in the news room, former colleagues described him as demanding, but inspiring. Benjamin bradlee. Reporter he received the medal of freedom from president obama at the age of 91. He transformed that newspaper. Ben bradlee was 93 years old. No one. Wake up [gasp] oh you okay, buddy . I just had a dream that progressive had this thing called. The name your price tool. It isnt a dream, is it . Nope. Sorry you know that thing freaks me out. He can hear you. He didnt mean that, kevin. Kevin yes, he did keeping our competitors up at night. Now, thats progressive. Welcome back, to those of you watching in the u. S. And all around the world, im errol barnett. Top stories around the world, the u. S. Is imposing travel restrictions to stop the spread of ebola, now all passengers from guinea, sierra leone and liberia are all required to land at five airports that will do screenings. You see them there, in newark, jfk, dulles, ohare and atlanta. And two vaccines are undergoing trials with a vaccine that is extracted from ebola survivors. And the man detained in north korea for five months is now on his way home. You see him there, Jeffrey Fowle was arrested for handing out a bible in a club in north korea, he is expected to be home haila today. Now, there are two other americans detained in korea, including kenneth bey, accused of planning to bring down the regime. He was sentenced to 15 years hard labor. Well, in an interview with cnn he says he is working eight hours a day six days a week at a labor camp but was being treated as humanely as possible. We should note that government officials were present when he said this to us. And Matthew Miller entered the country seeking asylum and tore up his visa. Military Officials Say his situation is very urgent and believes he will be sent to prison. Now, a Research Scholar at Columbia University and a cnn analyst, i spoke with her a short time ago and began to ask her about north koreas possible motives for releasing fowle. Reporter well, what North Koreans typically want is a very high level engagement. As you know, previously, jimmy carter, former president jimmy carter went to north korea and former president bill clinton went to north korea to release t
