>> well, what makes it dangerous is that it is spread so readily and it is spread in a widespread fashion, late in the summer. and then although it makes only a mild respiratory illness for many children, occasionally as you say, it can set off an asthma attack or cause difficulty breathing that requires the child to be admitted to a hospital and perhaps even intensive care unit. >> i think that's what is alarming you hear they are going into intensive care. what should be the greatest worry, do you think, with this virus t respiratory aspect of it? >> it's respiratory aspect. this is the time of year when these viruses spread around. this is unusual because it causes primarily respiratory infection. the good news is those kids will recover and recover very quickly, although it's a scary day or two for a few parents and children. >> absolutely. what's the best advice for trying to protect your family? >> because it's spread from the intestinal track lots of good hand washing and stay away from other people who are coughing and sneezing. >> i know that the virus is so easy to transmit. it's not commonly fatal though i have heard that it can be deadly in some cases. are there any lasting effects of it? >> there should be no lasting effects. that kids that recover and that's the vast majority, recover completely, they go about their activities in just a few days as if they have never been sick. >> will this just run its course? it's going to eventually fade away or what will happen? >> yeah, martin, that's generally what happens. this is the time of year when these kind of viruses spread and after a week or two they just go away. >> this isn't the flu but we know that the flu we're getting into that season where we have to get the flu vaccine. do you still recommend that for all kids especially the elderly? >> yeah, christi, thanks for reminding all of us. it's influenza vaccination season, that started, the recommendations are for all of us age 6 months and older. that's everybody watching. they should all get vaccinated each and every year against influenza because it's coming, it usually peaks in this country in february, but the time to get vaccinated is right now. >> very good point. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you. the wife of an american doctor infected with ebola says he's still really sick, weak, but he is improving even had a little chicken soup which we know is good for the soul. >> it is. for all things. dr. rick sacra we're talking about being treated in omaha, nebraska. his doctors trying to figure out how he got the disease. he was working in a hospital in liberia delivering babies. sacra is the third american with ebola to return to the united states from africa for treatment. >> congress is getting back to washington this week and immigration is expected to take center stage. how president obama's decision to delay executive action on immigration reform could impact the upcoming midterm elections and really fuel some partisan bickering. >> some are saying it's an about face. e future? the future of kids? like a stock. not the kind of stock that's about making money. but a stock for social change. a whole new kind of investment called better futures. when you invest, it helps kids go to college. believe in us, invest in us. watch us grow. my name is sydni and i'm your dividend. 42 minutes past the hour. president obama let's say he's under a little heat right now for what some are calling a broken promise. >> really came as a surprise in fact during this program yesterday. the white house announced the president will delay executive action on immigration reform until after the midterm elections. >> that decision has critics on both sides of the aisle including proism grags groups accusing the president of playing politics. >> erin mcpike has more. >> reporter: christi, martin, the white house is thinking if democrats can hold the senate republicans could come to the table to help pass comprehensive immigration reform later this year, or early next year but the white house insists they have a plan by the end of the year. president obama under attack for breaking his promise made in june that he'd take executive action on immigration reform by the end of the summer. >> if congress cannot do their job we can do ours. >> delaying action until after the elections would stop those who would use to the score points. the move could help democrats in tight races in arkansas, north carolina and iowa keeping seats from flipping to the gop and causing democrats from losing control of the senate. but the sigh of relief for endangered democrats sparked fury from groups pushing for immigration reform like unite we'd dream which blasted the president's latest broken promise is a slap to the face of the latino and immigrant community and latino groups were just as angry. >> i think it's terrible. they always use our community and believe me i'm a democrat but i'm tired of waiting. it's time for him to comply, and actually do something about this. now. not tomorrow. now. >> reporter: white house officials insist immigration reform is coming before the end of the year. president obama defended reversing himself in an interview with nbc news. >> what i'm saying is that i'm going to act because it's the right thing for the country. but it's going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what we've done on unaccompanied children and why it's necessary. and the truth of the matter is that the politics did shift midsummer because of that problem. >> reporter: republican leaders like house speaker john boehner and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell are accusing the president of playing politics with the issue. republican strategists working on elections say they will continue to use this as a campaign issue in the final sprint to election day. christi, martin. >> thank you, erin. as she pointed out among the president's loudest critics john boehner who went on the attack saying the decision to delay this possibly unconstitutional unilateral action until after the election instead of abanding the idea altogether smacks of raw politics. >> let's talk about this with john king. good morning. >> good morning to you. both sides are playing raw politics, that's the shame on this issue and so many where many of the people would like some action or like to have an up or down vote. the president on the one hand says no, this isn't about protecting the senate, then you heard him there in the piece telling nbc news well, the politics did shift this summer. they shifted in a way you have a number, a half dozen, probably a list of ten vulnerable senate democrats saying mr. president don't do this. if you give amnesty to millions of undocumented workers we'll probably lose our seats. those races are tight but democrats don't want is a firedp conservative base because if you look in many of the states where there are tough senate races you don't have much of a latino population. they are in arkansas, alaska, like louisiana. republicans who thought the president was going to act and they thought they would fire up the base by saying look what he just did, now their argument has to be well, don't send more democrats to congress in november because then he'll do even more after the election. so no action, more politics. >> let's talk about beyond the midterm elections and there is that presidential election that is going to come up. is there a window opened here for say the republicans and their potential candidates? >> if they would take it. yes. there is a window open. the latino population is perhaps the most important swing demographics when you come to presidential politics. you want to win the presidency you probably need to win florida. you probably need to win nevada. nice to win new mexico, colorado. look how president obama did it in the last two elections. study data and see the growth of the latino population. there is a window of opportunity for republicans, the question is will any of their leaders try to take it. because they are worried about their own base. the president is worried losing senate seats so he is going to wait. you heard that woman again in the package, the president promised he would do this his first year. he hasn't. there is such profound disappointment in the latino community that somebody could get their attention. somebody could say hey, i'm the alternative here. but republicans are so afraid of the tea party base, so afraid that if they gave legal status never mind even citizenship to undocumented workers they would have a revolution in their ranks. so everybody's afraid because of the politics and because of that this issue keeps getting kicked and kicked. >> all right. john king, so appreciate your insight. thank you. >> nice to see you this morning. >> good to see you. you can catch john king on inside politics today at 8:30 a.m. eastern in about 50 minutes. >> take a look at this. watch the grin on this boy's face. as he tries on his new iron man hand. we'll tell you how it has changed his life. ñzóó if i told you that a free ten-second test could mean less waiting for things like security backups and file downloads you'd take that test, right?

"should continue the active pursuit of an agreement to end the conflict between israel and the palestinians. it could dramatically improve america's credibility in the region and could make it possible for israel and the sunni dom-nated monarchies to work together to combat their common foe and ours. the extremist forces are now menacing the entire region." why do you think this is the path to take? >> the israeli/palestinian conflict is important in itself. i don't suggest it will solve all the problems in the region but it will be a central and major step forward and the fact is, of course, that most of the sunni monarchies in the region are very much concerned about both iran and the threat it poses to them as the israelis are worried about iran and the threat it poses to them and also to the extremists that are now rampaging through the region. it's
