Teams have been happeneding out drugs to keep players on the field. We need to make sure that the guys who are legends of this game and doing so much for this Football Game are better taken care of. Im Andrea Mitchell in new york. We begin with breaking news out of omaha, nebraska. Martin salia has died of ebola. He was treating patients when he contracted the disease. Lets go to the medical team who just started speaking. We want to personally thank doctor salias family for putting their trust in us especially since he was only with us for a sort period of time following his arrival saturday afternoon. The dozens of Staff Members who cared for the patient are all taking this very hard. They put forth a truly heroic effort during the time he was with our care. In addition, the out pouring of grief and support for his family and for our staff from across the nation and around the world have been remarkable including our patients and people in washington and state headquarters, etc. We use the maximum amount of Supportive Care and every technique available in an effort to save his life. We are very, very sorry that the out come was not the one we all wished for. I would like to extend our profound gratitude to the remarkable professional staff who gave their all in this heroic effort. Our focus on extraordinary care as well as the global, education and elements is truly remarkable. It is the standard for quality and it is an inspiration for all. Ebola is an extremely deadly disease. We are reminded that even though this was the best possible place for a patient with this virus to be, that in the very advanced stages, even the most modern techniques that we have at our disposal are not enough to help these patient when is they reach a critical tresh hold. The focus needs to remain a global emphasis on prevention as well as early diagnosis and treatment. Before i turn it over to our panel, i am reminded of the words of Theodore Roosevelt who said it is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in a great twilight that knows not victory or defeat. It is my pleasure now to turn this over to dr. Phil schmitt who will introduce the other panelists, dan johnson, dr. Chris kraterville and ms. Rosana morris. Dr. Smith some. Thank you. Im dr. Fill smith, medical director at unmc. I told you this morning about 4 00 a. M. , dr. Martin salia, a surgeon from sierra leone died. He was admitted to our biocontainment unit after a long trip from africa late saturday afternoon. He arrived in very critical condition. In spite of that, we had nurses and doctors working around the clock to reverse his condition and were unable to do so. Even though he was only here 36 hours, we got to know his family very well. A wonderful family, especially his wife and we have Great Respect and admiration for the way they conducted themselves and we extend to them our deepest sympathy. I would like to introduce dan johnson, Critical Care medicine was outstanding in their support of doctor salia and i ask him to give us a few points about some of the supportive measures they used. As doctor smith alluded to and as the reports and the media have shown, the doctor was extremely critically ill when he arrived to the hospital. He had no kidney function. He was working extremely hard to breathe. He was unresponsive. Within the first few hours of his arrival we started running continuous dialysis. Within the first 12 hours, he had progressed to complete respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Shortly there after he developedy is rearly low Blood Pressure and required multiple agents at high doses to maintain a marginal Blood Pressure. In this setting and in the setting of multiple treatments specific for ebola virus disease and despite the amazing care of our nurses and respiratory therapists, he progressed to the point of cardiac arrest and we werent able to get him through this. I think what dr. Smith and dr. Gold have said is right on the money. We really, really gave it everything we could. All modern medical therapies were provided and we wish there could have been a different out come. Im also proud of the team for what they were able to try. Im going to turn it over to the doctor now. One of the roles of an Academic Health center is evaluation and implementation of research interventions. There no approved treatments for ebola so one of the things that we did early on in the outbreak is to evaluate what research interventions may be available. There were two that we were able to implement in the care of dr. Salia. One was zmapp and thats an intervention that we were able to obtain and that was initiated saturday evening. Its taken from individual who is survived and it may have a in potentially treating individuals with ebola. Those are the two that were implemented on saturday shortly after his arrival. As you just heard, the patient was simply too critical when he arrived according to his doctor there is in nebraska. They worked around the clock and could not save his life. Satly his family said we are saddened by the news of her dear brother who was a father and husband and friend. The family said we kindly ask for privacy as our dear sister and wife of dr. Salia and her two boys are grieving. We pray for continued mobilization of resources in sierra leone and begin tow combat the spread of the virus. Keep us in your prayers as we are in this time of grief. This is from the family who lived in maryland. He is a u. S. Resident. He had been in sierra leone treating patients. The department of Homeland Security has in the last few days issued a new ruling that there will be special inspections for people arriving from mali because of a cluster of new outbreak of ebola incidents in mali in west africa. Other sad news. The american aid worker who converted to islam will be speaking in their indiana church. Isis released a gruesome video that the u. S. Authenticated proving that he was indeed behead beheaded. We will not be showing any of the video. He had been held captive for a year. The video is being released as part of their continuing effort by the terrorists. Joining me with more is the terrorist doing this on camera. In this case they were executing syrian soldiers as well. They show the beheading and our colleague looked at it. I chose not to. We understand that it is more of this propaganda. That is exactly it. I had a chance to watch the full 17 minutes of it. It is a piece of propaganda that boefs about what isis had done over the past several months in terms of how it has taken so much territory. It alous to the fact that now you have groups and other countries pledging allegiance to isis. Not only of it is believed to be syrian officers at the time. It is a very well produced piece of propaganda and you can understand why these types of productions 18ate so loudly in parts of the world because of how well they are produced and the emotion they evoke. The parents released this audio from a previous communication with him. Lets listen back. Over a period of time like in that hospital, i was able to share a little bit of hope and comfort with some people. They were able to teach me something about themselves that i wouldnt have known otherwise. And we each were given an opportunity to look at the conflict in a different way. You understand egypt so well. Me why you think the isis message, their propaganda would resonate in egypt. Why would that be such a progressive act from the arab states . It is growing in areas where there is poverty and particularly in the case in egypt where in the last year the government has been battling and particularly in this with similar ideology starting to pledge allegiance, it is going to have a ripple effect. No indication that these groups are operationally linked to one another. What we have seen in the example over the past several years, the off shoot groups draw strength and inspiration and start doing the same attacks. That allows the ideology to exist. All these suffer from Good Governance and bad democratic practices and that allows people to be drawn to the militancy. The family of peter will be speaking today in indianapolis. With more now, i am joined by his friend. He is an independent writer and photographer who first met in beirut in 2012. Our condolences. We feel this very powerfully, but you and the friends and the if family of mourn g mourning the loss of this young man. Yeah. Its been a very long year of hoping and waiting and not knowing. Four weeks of dreading the worst and hoping for the best. Now its confusing. Its frustrating. I guess the best thing to do in petes spirit is revoke us that to something good and celebrate who he was as a person. All of the people whose lives he touched. Me more about changing his name and converting and his feeling for the syrian people. His parents by the way today incredibly in their grief have issued a tweet. We are heartbroken to learn our son lot of his life as a result of his love for the syrian people. They are carrying on this humanitarian mission of their son despite what happened to him. I cant speak much about his conversion. That happened in captivity, but he had a deep connection to the region and the culture and the people. I remember in tripoli he fasted and out of solidarity. His family has been remarkable. With the Statement Today saying basically remember who he was and why he went there. Thats to not forget that there still many people who are stuck in this brutal conflict. They need to not give into intimidation and fear and do the right thing. There is a lot of people that has been inspired by him. More people do that. Thats the only way that a solution is going to be reached. And an end to the insanity. Did he speak about the services in iraq and what led him to this humanitarian mission . It wasnt something he dwelled on a lot. There would be stories here and there, but obviously experiencing war and seeing how destructive it is. The deep scars that last in society and its people and how it destroys families. He even said i can either be another young man with a gun or i can actually help people. He gave everything and realizing that he was needed and go there. He had a responsibility to alleviate suffering and he to. If he didnt, thats something he didnt do. Our condolences. This is the worst possible out come. Thank you very much for talking about peter and the man you knew. The aid worker. Thank you for being with us. Peters parents are expected to speak to the media around 3 30 eastern time. The cycle will cover coverage that of live. President obama called it an act of pure evil. Secretary of state john kerry had this message for isis today. Isil insists the acts of murder, torture, slavery, rape, and desecration are in response to the commands of god, a claim that is to use an old boston expression, garbage. New york times, mark, you have been writing for days and traveling i dont know how many miles, but this news came to you on air force 1. This came to you and the president with the National Security team after they left australia on their way back to the United States. Thats right, andrea. The video i think surfaced during the flight from brisbane, australia to honolulu where air force 1 refuelled. The White House Press secretary josh ernest told us the president had been briefed, but the video was not authenticated yet. After the plane took off for Andrews Air Force base, about an hour into the flight, the white house officials came back and said the video had been authenticated and they handed out a paper statement from president obama which is somewhat unusual. The white house typically will issue a Statement Like this electronically. They decided to hand it out to the five or six of us on the plane and one of my associate colleagues from the Associated Press called in the statement to the Television Networks and the wires and the New York Times. Thats how the president s reaction to this actually went out to the broader public. We sense that the white house, the president probably personally is just really deeply affected by this because it was a personal and angry statement issued. I want to take you back to beijing and all the miles back when you stood up and asked the president about press freedoms and about the restrictions on visas for New York Times journalists who are being denied entry because the New York Times covered the news and covered some of the negative things that have been happening. A lot of negative things that happen in china. Let me play a little bit of that for you. In the spirit of the visa arrangements that you agreed to this week with Business People and students, isnt it time to extend that right to foreign correspondents who seek to cover your country . Media outfits need to obey the loss and regulations. He gave a very stiff response when he answered that question. Not immediately. Me how you felt standing up in that great hall and asking a question of the chinese leader and getting in his face. I think as you know since you did this for many years, its a bit nerve racking in the east room to ask the president of the United States a question and a news conference. I guess take that and double it. The great hall is a fairly imposing place and i knew that this was just a very rare moment and a chance to really put this to him. That said, i tried to focus on the tone of the question. I wanted to as you say get in his face, but i didnt want to be route about it. Im a guest in his country and it was a kind of a big precedent for them to allow questions at a news conference. That was going through my mind. I know you have been on the road for so long and had moments with some of these officials. Are they as negative about a deal with iran as we are hearing . We know secretary kerry will be heading there this week and the talks will resume and they didnt get far at all last week. No. John kerry flew to beijing so he could join president obama for his meetings there. It was pretty clear in talking to the people who travel with the secretary that the session was not a particularly productive one. There is a sense that everyone know what is a deal looks like. There is not that much ambiguity anymore. Its a matter of whether the iranians will move on this all important question of the number of centrifuges and the enrichment capacity that they are insisting that they retain. That seems to be kreal the crux of the matter. I did not detect much optimism that they felt they were close to a breakthrough. And of course the deadline is next week. They can extend, but it could collapse. Get some rest and thank you very much for taking the time. From the president s Foreign Policy to domestic tell us. The executive action that account affect millions of undocumented immigrants. Wethey were a littlehorizons to mbit skeptical. Ss, what they do actually is rocket science. But at ge capital we also bring expertise from across ge, like lean process engineers we asked who does what, when, where, and why that step first . Ideas for improvement started pouring out. With a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. If you just need a loan, just call a bank. At ge capital, were builders. And what we know. Can help you grow. Which means its time for the volkswagen signthendrive event. For practically just your signature, you could drive home for the holidays in a germanengineered volkswagen. Like the sporty, advanced new jetta. And the 2015 motor trend car of the year allnew golf. If youre wishing for a new volkswagen this season. Just about all you need is a finely tuned. Pen. Hurry in and get zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on select new volkswagen models. What is your advice to the republicans at this point, governor . My advice to the democrats at this point and to the president in particular is take a breath. Let the congress and let the selection have its say. As opposed to jumping in and by doing something unilaterally in a way that is extra constitutional. Former republican nominee mitt romney to put the brakes on that expected action. That could affect millions of people. Joining me now is chris alyssa, contributing editor and managing editor. A twohour show on msnbc premiering from 9 00 to 11 00 eastern. Thank you very much. Congratulations to you. Chris, lets hear from you first on what you think the timing might be. Whats your best reporting on when the president might take this action. Look. From what we know, he is not made a final absolute decision on what exactly the executive order will be. It seemed from his Public Comments and what we are hearing privately, he made a decision to do this. The extent and scope of which he is still deciding. He is back at the white house. I have every reason to believe the reporting suggests late this week is a possibility. I would be surprised if he did something early next week given the holiday week there. My guess is late this week. The extent to which and what he does, how many undocumented workers are include the in the debortation hall, thats the stuff that will get worked out this week. Not the will he do it or not. Its a moving target and it could be 3. 3 Million People if he does. People who have been here for years and have children who are murns who were born here. He could expand the deferred action for childhood arrivals, another thing being considered that gives opportunities for those in school or high school and ledge and have been here and were born here. Me, how is that going to go over with the community and is the fight engaged now . Are organizations going to feel this goes far enough . Thats a great question. I think many of the organizations hope that he goes big. What they mean is that includes not only organizations, but folks like gutierrez out of illinois who said go big. For them go big would probably be 5 to 6 Million People. The white house and chris and i have the same sources and keeps telling us as of right now the president has not decided the minutia on what is or is not going to be include i
