Person . Should it . Judges are considering that now. And the decision could change the way america treats its animals. And ebola. Who you like better, cdc or congress . Lets get to it. First from the fox news deck this afternoon. Word that relentless air strikes in syria have Islamic State fighters on the run, but the terror group appears to be preparing for a whole new fight in iraq, after a wave of terror attacks today left dozens dead in baghdad. Over on the wall, the pentagon is calling operation inherit resolve. The daily beast web site is now reporting that the turkish government is allowing American Drones to take off from their air best. If air base. If true thats big. Possibly complicating the tense negotiations witch turkey, the state department reported that u. S. Officials met directly with a kurdish political party, party linked to the group the United States and turkey call the terrorist organization. Its all mixed up over there, its a jumble mix. And in the syrian town of kobani there are new signs of progress. It was on the brink of falling to the islamist militants before the u. S. Led coalition ramped up airstrikes. Kobani is a key Border Crossing with turkey, and the United Nations warned isis would likely slaughter civilians if it took this town of kobani. As the Islamic State appears to be backing down, theres word the militants are gaining more ground in iraq, and doing so quickly. Isis fighters reportedly have a town surrounded own three sides outside of dab. Its 20miles to the west of the baghdad airport. Local Officials Say the Islamic State is lining up tanks and heavy equipment. Apparently preparing for battle. I if that town falls it would include the towns isis controlsall of them leading in the same dregs. All of them leading to baghdad. Iraqs capital city today, the scene of deadly chaos. Officials say at least 38 people died in a series of bomb attacks. We dont know who is behind the bombings, greg palkot is live near the turkey border with syria. Greg . Reporter centcom confirming what we have been seeing, u. S. Jets very active for the past couple of days, fighter jets circling around and around over kobani. In the past 24 hours they have dropped 14 bombs, total of 53 airstrikes in just the last three days, and we have observed how they are impacting the terrorists, and the planesunder overhead the bad guys hunker down, centcom says they have hit 19 buildings occupied by terrorists today. When the planes are gone isis comes out. We watched bitter urban clashes between isis and the kurdish militia. Contacts tell there was a new airstrike in the middle of a battle there. That indicates what we have been reporting, close coordination ten the u. S. And the kurds on the ground and contact confirmed that isis pulled back from several streets they were holding. He also made clear reports out today say that isis is withdrawing from the city are premature. Theyre pretty much an evil force here and a lot of fronts to be reckoned with. With us now from d. C. , former state department spokesperson. Thank you. Always a pleasure. When you look down the river, baghdad is at the end of the line of cities, but is there real concern that baghdad could fall . No, i dont think so. Thats a very tough target. I think they could probably get as close as the airport, maybe a little bit more, but remember, there are millions of shia faithful in baghdad, and i dont think that isis has the force to overwhelm them, but certainly would be a game, change areer gamechanger to have them take the airport. I want to ask you, we know they have come down here, they got hit and then a number of bases and we know about ram mat diand ram a ramadi and fallujah. They wouldnt fight for the other towns. Well, first of all, those other towns are largely sunni. Second of all, theyre much smaller and easier. Theyre much easier to surround and take and hold. But i think, look, two broader points to make. Number one, i think what were seeing is a very Uneasy Coalition against isis. You have turkey, iran, the gulf states, you have europe. They might all agree on the need to fight isis, but they dont agree on much else besides that. Turkey wants to know the plan with assad and arent willing to jump in until the u. S. And others are willing to commit to take out assad. Were not willing to do that. The they want to fight isis but see iran as much a threat as they do isis. So, there isnt theres a coalition, frankly in name, but i dont think theres a coalition in terms of longterm strategy. Thats point one. Point two. I think what youre seeing when you look at kobani and then look at iraq is, kobani is the problem of today, but even if we saved kobani, theres going to be another one tomorrow, and the fact of the matter is, there is no longterm military solution to this problem. The end of the day, the solution is political and cultural, and as long as you have identitybased politics, which i are divided along religious and sectarian lines, violence will be a part of the reality of this region, and so thats why when you see countries like iran, fomenting extremism, supporting see ya elements with arms and violent agendas, that does not argue well for the future of this part of the world. Bless you, mr. Ambassador, and thank you very much. Okay. To recap, theres no military solution. The violence will continue. And unless you fix the government, nothing is going to change. So far theres not very good evidence that the government is fixed. Watch this space. Security Council Meetings at the United Nations are probably going to be a little more awkward because venezuela just got a seat on the Security Council. Yay, world. Good job, world. Venezuela on the Security Council at the United Nations. Probably good news for russia and china and cuba as well. That and the latest facts another ebola. I can sum them up in this sentence. Ebola is not spreading in america and you have nothing to fear. Wait until you see what our Congress People did today. Awesome. So ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts . Thats right. Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. [ male announcer ] the rhythm of life. [ whistle blowing ] where do you hear that beat . Campbells healthy request soup lets you hear it in your heart. [ basketball bouncing ] heart healthy. [ mm. ] great taste. [ tapping ] sounds good. Campbells healthy request. Mm mm good. ® progress in the world. One our nations harshest creditishings, venezuela, just got a seat on the unites nations Security Council. Todays vote gives russia and china an ally on the council. Analysts say it gives more power to cuba, which essentially runs venezuela out in that hugo chavez passed away. In 2006, chavez called george w. Bush, el diablo, translated, the devil. Also winning seats, angola, malaysia, new zealand, and spain. The new members join the Security Council on the first of january and will serve through 2016. Venezuela, welcome to the body of nations. Ebola now. As we reported yesterday, there is no spread of ebola in america. No change today. No ebola, and no reason for anyone to fear at all. The people in charge of keeping us all safe were not at their jobs today. They were pulled from their jobs to answer questions from our elected representatives. Questions including, mr. Cdc director, how high should a childs temperature be before the childs parent demands a test for ebola. Real questions. Going to hear it in a minute. Of course the answer is, that was ridiculous question. The cdc director handled it better than that. Listen. Is it 104. 4 . 101. 5 . 99. 6 . I think theres some great confusion because initially when people were screening mr. Wagner at the airports in west africa, the temperature threshold was 101. 5. And then i think now the screenings at the five major airports, including Hartsfield International in atlanta, its now 100. 4. When mr. Duncan came for the first time to the texas presbyterian hospital, his temperature was, what, 100. 1, and within 24 hours it was 103. So, when mom and dad are out there work and their child has a temperature and this fall is flu season and theyre going to the doctor, theyre going to demand being checked for ebola. Give us some guidelines on what is elevated temperature and when should parents be concerned . First, parents should not be concerned about ebola unless youre living in west africa or the child has had exposure to ebola. Told you it was a real question. No reason for concern at all here in america. Where ebola has not spread beyond one patient and two healthcare workers. Very sad situation for that patient and those healthcare workers. Beyond that, there is no concern, and if little johnny or janey has a temperature, it could be flu. Which killed 52,000 people in america last year. Unless you have been contacted by medical professionals and been informed you have come into contact with one of three people who have ebola, of the 319 Million People in our nation, you have nothing to fear. I have nothing to fear. Ebola is not spreading. One more thing. Cdc, congress. Jonathan surrey is at the hospital in atlanta. Whats the latest on the two nurses . Reporter Emory University is releasing no information on Amber Vincents condition, citing patient confidentiality rules but you seek her walking on her own power. That suggests she is beginning treatment in the very early stages of the disease. Public health Officials Say early treatment appears to produce Better Outcomes in ebola patients. During hearings in washington, the one that you referenced, federal Health Officials said the other nurse, nina pham, remains stable. Although her condition has not worsened they want to bring her to the biocontainment facility at the National Institutes of health so she can receive in their words, stateoftheart care. What more do we know about the isolation units . Reporter very few of them. One of them it as nih. One is here at emory where i am right now. Only four of them in the country, but theyre designed to treat patients with highly Infectious Diseases and equipped with the staff with the know, how, how to treat these serious diseases such as ebola. Early on in this outwreak there was a belief that virtually any hospital in a modern country like the u. S. Would be able to safely handle an ebola patient. The fact that two nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian hospitals, which doctors say is a great hospital, even though these nurses were wearing full protective gear and were in a good hospital, they became infected while treating an ebola patient. Thats changed some of the thinking. You may see more of these patients being sent to these biocontainment units or larger hospitals. Dr. Robert murphy at Emory University center for health believes the patchwork of federal state and local authorities responding to ebola needs to fall under a centralized command structure. Listen. We need is really one person who is going to run this thing from top to bottom. And the only person or group in the United States that is capable of doing that is the cdc. And it appears the cdc is taking a step in that direction. Sending those go teams to anywhere that an ebola case is reported in the u. S. Shep . Jonathan, good of you. Thank you very much. The bottom line, ebola is not spreading ins her. When you hear the panic, reject it as ridiculous. The head of the Transportation Security Administration announces he is stepping down at the end of the year, he is john pistol. You probably hear him at the airport, hello, this is john pistol. Thetas longer serving administrator, served as Deputy Director of the fbi before being nominated for the tsa in 2010. In total he worked 31 years for the government. Good grief. A source says he has already sainted a possession in education that will start next year. Hopefully he wont leave the airports. Its comforting hearing him. Hi, john, glad youre hear. Another change for the obama administration, the second highest ranking official in the Justice Department announced he, too, is stepping down. Deputy attorney general james cole is a veteran of law enforcement. Cole will leave as soon as the end of the years. This is actually the third recent change for he Justice Department. Just last month the attorney general, eric holder, announced he will formally step down next year. While the third highest ranking justice official, tony west, left earlier this month to become general counsel of pepsic. A political debate good at off to got off to a strange start. Thank you, florida. Look at this. Look at this. What is interesting about this . Well, its really quite interesting and only in florida, and really, really awesome. Baseball notice kansas city. For the first time in nearly three decades the royals will play for a title, im told. Well remind you what the world was like the last time the Kansas City Royals won. Good for you, kansas city. We used to just think of kansas city as a farm team for the yankees. Look at these Kansas City Royals. You do the thing. I like the underdogs like the ole miss rebels. I like the Kansas City Royals. Suddenly, and for this moment only, and the rebels for the rest of my life, amen. Shabing a brown grats bo is, you never jim jam river flab dry ris. Bliss pounds hazy dray .

The First Time Since 1985 the Kansas City Royals are heading to the world series. Kc completed a fourgame sweep it up of the orioles last night. The royals are baseballs cinderella story this year by far. The team has not lost a game in this entire playoffs. Theyll face either San Francisco or st. Louis, clearly 29 years is a long time. We wanted to look back at life in 1985. I was in college. Ryan was a zygot. Tell me what you know about 1985. 8405, the royals let by george bret, went on to win the world series and beat st. Louis in seven. I believe there were alcoholic beverages there. Brett is actually now vicepresident of baseball operation for these royals. Very cool guy. Fox broadcast network had note yet launched. I was six, this is the 15th 15th year fox will tell cast the world series, and it was the first ban of smoking in a restaurant. Smoking was still allowed on planes. The new coke you dont know new coke. I do. Brilliant work. Go, atlanta. And then finally for you, iowa, the hawkeyes, ranked number 1 in the Ap College Football poll. That has not happened since. Thats like 1964 for the rebels. 50 years. Wow, 85. Thank you, ryan. Now florida. Oh, florida, the gift that keeps on giving. A potential debate that started off, well, weird. The republican governor, rick scott, is running for reelection against the former governor, the republican turned independent turned democrat charlie crist. They had a debate schedule but first one of them, well, neither of them watch this. As you can see, the two candidates who were invited to take part in this debate right now are not stepping up on the stage. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an extremely peculiar situation right now. Shades of obamamccain, oxford, mississippi. Governor crist then did come on the stage but not Governor Scott. Turns out there was an issue over a fan. This electric fan. Heres the moderator. Governor crist has asked to have a fan, a small fan, placed underneath his podium. The rules of the debate that i was shown by the Scott Campaign say that there should be no fan. Somehow there is a fan there. Elliott rodriguez, pronounces to the world, somehow there is a fan there, and Governor Scott was not there. Finally he did join them for the debate, with the fan still in place ladies and gentlemen, that has to be the most unique beginning to any debate. We wont forget. We wont, because florida. Steve harrigan lives in florida for us. Kind of you. Its beautiful down there. That was just another in a series of awesome things were covering today. Shepard, people were just amazed when this happened. Looked like for a little while on Live Television that one candidate was simply not going to come out. What was going to happen next . Right now Governor Scott is saying that he never refused to go out on stage. This has been part of a series of response from the scott side. After the debate, some supporters of scott said kris had broken the rules. There were clear rules no electronics on the podium. Fans specified. And finally, Governor Scott0s own words when asked during the debate about his absence. I waited until we figured out if he was going to show up. He said he was going to come to the debate. Former governor crist, for his part, wondered aloud to the audience why the other side was making a big deal h
