Michelle miller on a program thats giving them a Second Chance. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Until today everyone who had come down with ebola in the current outbreak had contracted it in west africa. Well, that has now chained. We have learned that a nurse working in spain has caught the virus while treating a patient, a spush priest, seen here arriving in madrid from sierra leone on september 21st. The priest died four days later. The 44yearold nurse became ill five days after that. Dr. Jon lapook is joining us. Jon, we have been told that modern, western medicine can prevent contagion, but it didnt happen in this hospital. Scott, you take a look at that picture. It looks like everything is being done right. Theyre gowned up. We were told this nurse only had two brief encountedders with the patient. Im sure what the spanish authorities would love to see are the scenes not photographed. We know the big difference in real life between protocol and what is actually done. We saw that in dallas where the man infected with ebola came to the emergency room. He had symptoms of ebola and he told them that he was from west africa and yet he was mistakenly initially sent home. Pelley but there have been at least four or five patients treated in hospitals in the United States, and no medical workers have become ill. No medical workers have become ill. The total is now six, including three at emory who had really close contact. Pelley president obama got an update on the ebola crisis today. Afterward he said the chances of an outbreak in the United States are extremely low, but he added, we dont have a large margin for error. He said there will be additional screening of air travelers, for example. Dr. Lapook has more now about the u. S. Response. Im going to be putting a lot of pressure on my fellow heads of state and government around the world to make sure they are doing everything that they can to join us in this effort. Weve got some small countries that are punching above their weight on, this but we have some large countries that arent doing enough. Last month the president announced a military mission to support the fight against ebola, but the mission is taking time to ramp up. Goals included sending 3,000 forces. As of october 2nd, 231 were on the ground, training up to 500 Health Care Providers a week. The Training Center will be operational by midmonth. Building as many as 17 ebola treatment centers, each serving 100 patients. Construction has begun on two, but completion is not expected until the end of october. Rear admiral john kirby is the Pentagon Press secretary. Are things moving along at the pace that you feel comfortable with . Well, obviously wed always like to be building more and doing more faster, but we do think that were getting the resources in place. Weather is a challenge. Infrastructure in liberia is a challenge. The lack of paved roads outside of monrovia, thats a challenge. Just over the weekend our construction people had to sit for hours and hours waiting for the rain to stop before they could finish their work on just leveling the ground. The number of ebola cases is doubling every two to four weeks. The rainy season is set to end in a few weeks. That will help in construction of the ebola wards, but logistical issues remain. Pelley we should mention the nurse in spain is in stable condition. Jon, thanks very much. The condition of the only ebola patient diagnosed in the United States worsened over the weekend. Manuel bojorquez is in dallas telling us whats being done to try to save thomas duncan. Reporter Texas Health Presbyterian hospital announced doctors started using the experimental drug brincidofovir after duncan slipped into Critical Condition saturday. The drug is taken by mouth and works by stopping viruses from replicating. Though it has previously been used against smallpox and adenovirus, duncans treatment will be the drugs first test against ebola in humans. Today i issued an executive order. Reporter Texas Governor rick perry has formed a new task force dedicated to finding ways to fix flaws exposed by the nations first ebola diagnosis. The most serious occurred when the hospital allowed duncan to go home after he first showed up with symptoms. There were mistakes made. There will probably be mistakes made in the future as we go forward, but the fact is i stand by the fact that the process is working. Reporter for clay jenkins, dallas countys top administrative official, making it work meant personally moving duncans quarantined family members from their apartment. He took them to a new location without wearing protective gear to calm fears that ebola is easily spread, but he says the apartment cleanup was a problem. Why did that take so long . Finding people to clean, finding people to dispose of it, getting the permits was arduous and its way too long. We have to speed that up. Reporter Officials Say duncans personal items have now been destroyed. Scott, this could be a critical time for ten people believed to be at higher risk of infection here. Duncan has been at this hospital just over a week. Ebola symptoms commonly show up within eight to ten days. Pelley manuel, thank very much. An american journalist who contracted ebola in liberia is in a nebraska hospital tonight. 33yearold ashoka mukpo was working as a free lance camera man for nbc news. Hell be kept in a special unit designed to handle this kind of illness. Another illness that has captured the nations attention is the enterovirus which attacks children. Well, today the c. D. C. Confirmed 594 cases in 43 states. The confirmed death was that of eli waller of new jersey. The fouryearold stayed home from school one day last month with what appeared to be pinkeye. The boy died in his sleep. In another major story today, the u. S. Supreme court cleared a path for an expansion of samesex marriage. The justices let stand several Appeals Court rulings, and as a result, samesex marriage will soon be legal in 11 additional states, bringing the total to 30 plus the district of columbia. Heres chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford. Samesex couples from indiana to oklahoma to virginia were able to marry today just hours after the Supreme Court said it would not intervene. You may kiss your bride. The justices gave no explanation for why they declined to get involved, but for the past decade, the court has been laying the groundwork with other rulings protecting gay rights. Led by swing Justice Anthony kennedy, the court last year granted federal benefits to legally married gay and lesbian couples. The ruling prompted conservative Justice Antonin Scalia to make a prediction, writing in dissent, how easy it is, indeed how inevitable, for lower courts to take the next bold step and strike down babs on samesex marriage. Scalias prediction was right. Appeals court so far have unanimously ruled the constitution prohibits states from treating gays and lesbians differently than head sexual couples. Todays order does not legalize samesex marriage nationwide but instead leads the issue for lower courts to decide. Now, that would change if other lower courts that are now considering this issue, say in louisiana and ohio, were to reach a different conclusion. Then the Supreme Court really would have no choice but to step in and resolve that conflict and decide, scott, once and for all, if samesex marriage is legal across america. Pelley jan crawford outside the u. S. Supreme court. Jan, thank you. Federal prosecutors say a 19yearold from illinois who hoped to join the isis terrorist group in syria was arrested over the weekend while trying to fly out of chicagos ohare airport. Mohammed hamza khan, a u. S. Citizen, was in court today to hear charges of attempting to provide Material Support to a foreign terrorist group. Investigators say khan left a note for his parents that said he felt an obligation to emigrate to the islamic state. F. B. I. Director james comey says more than 100 americans have been caught going to syria or traveling there to fight and then returning. We asked comey about that in his first Major Television interview for 60 minutes. Some people call individuals who are radicalized lone wolves. Is that the biggest threat we face . If people use that term, its not one i like. It conveys a sense of dignity i dont think they deserve. These homegrown violent extreme itselfs are troubled souls seeking meaning in some misguided way. So they come across propaganda. They become radicalized on their own, sort of independent study, and theyre also able to equip themselves with training, again, through the internet. Then they engage in jihad after emerging from their basement. Pelley the name lone wolf offends you . It does. I prefer lone rat to capture the kind of person were talking about. Lone rat . Yeah. Pelley comey also told us he knows of a dozen americans who have joined terrorist groups inside syria. He says f. B. I. Knows their names and is tracking them. The white house tonight is working to smooth things over after some undiplomatic remarks by the Vice President shook up the alliance against isis. Major garrett has that. Our biggest problem is our allies. Reporter following a speech last week at harvard university, Vice President biden said saudi arabia, turkey and the United Arab Emirates had allowed extremist groups to flourish in syria all in the name of fighting the regime of Bashar Al Assad and indirectly giving rise to isis. They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against assad, except that the people who were being supplied were al qaeda and extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world. Reporter biden also committed the diplomatic faux pas of recounting a private conversation with turkish president recip erdogan, where erdogan admitted that foreign fighters were crossing from Southern Turkey to join isis in syria. President erdogan told me, hes an old friend, said, youre right. We let too many people through. Now theyre trying to seal the border. Reporter the white house worried bidens statements could undermine the newly formed coalition of countries fighting isis. Turkey only publicly joined last week. When erdogan demanded an apology, biden complied, placing phone calls to the turbish president and the crown prince of abu dhabi. This is one in a long list of faux pas by biden. In that same speech, biden cursed about the limits of his office. [bleeped] biden gave voice to longsimmering white house frustration about the flow of arm, money and foreign fighters into syria. His mistake suggesting it was official policy of countries named. But, scott, the white house says it remains confident the new coalition will hang together even amid bidens candor.
