The head of the central bank said theres a risk of deflation that will hurt wages and stock values. If the real inflation rate continues to be sluggish, theres a possibility toward a turn around toward a deflationary mindset. Our nations economy is at a critical moment, a process of escaping deflation. Our decision to go ahead with easing is based on such reasoning. Japan has been plagued by de flation and anemic growth for much of the past 20 years.

After twentyseven years, Burkina Fasos president steps down amid massive protests. Whats delayed making public a report on c. I. A. Interrogations . Updating the 42 Mexican College students gone missing. Mark shields and david brooks preview next weeks elections. And, what taylor swifts latest album sales say about todays music business. Woodruff now, how hospitals are preparing for ebola cases in this country. A judge in maine ruled today against state officials who sought to quarantine nurse kaci hickox who returned from west africa after working with ebola patients. Hickox has no symptoms and has refused to observe a voluntary quarantine. But the judge did say she must u . ]irpfonitored for symptoms and must coordinate any travel with state officials. The debate over that case comes as hospitals are scrambling to prepare for any future ebola patients. In new york state, governorni andrew cuomo designated eight hospitals that need to be ready. The newshours megan thompsonco visited one of those hospitals in manhattan. Reporter on wednesday afternoon, staff was buzzing at the mount sinai hospital on manhattans upper east side. In a special ward doctors, nurses and security were prepping at top speed for a dreaded scenario someone with ebola walking through their doors. Dr. David reich is the hospitals president. So, youve been at this hospital for 30 years. Have you seen anything like this before . Reporter theres really nothing like this thats ever been dealt with at this hospital before. And in fact, id say that of all the hospitals in new york city, theres really never been anything quite like this. Reporter new yorks first case of ebola last week, at nearby bellevue hospital, only added to the pressure. Mount sinai is a topnotch hospital, but ebola represents a whole new challenge. The first thing that greets you when you walk in the door big new signs in thirteen languages. They say, if you have symptoms and have traveled, tell us immediately. So, this is an isolation room in part of the emergency department. Reporter possible ebola cases can be isolated here. Luckily the only patient today is a mannequin used for training. So far, there have only been a handful of false alarms in the entire mount sinai system. But until now, this hospital didnt really have another place outside of the e. R. To provide longterm care for an ebola patient. Last week, this section of the hospital was part of the cardiac Critical Care unit. But in just a matter of days, mount sinai has transformed it into a brand new unit to care for possible ebola patients. Theyre still finishing it up, but they say that if somebody walks into the hospital today who might have ebola, theyre ready for them. And weve completely walled it off. Reporter the new unit is sealed off. And while ebola is not an airborne disease, a negative pressure system and heavyduty air filters are in place as extreme precautions. Special protocols are followed to get rid of all waste. And this new Communications System will allow staff to monitor and talk to patients without having to get close. The facility is in some ways only the smallest part of this. Creating a team that is competent and confident in their skills to care for a patient with this deadly disease that provides extreme risk to healthcare workers, that is the real challenge for us. Reporter so mount sinaico conducts training regularly to make sure the staff is prepared. An expert from the cdc is here to consult. One of the most important, and new, procedures to learn is how to put on the protective personal equipment. Im going to read out the safe work practices. Reporter nurses train with a coach and a checklist. There are special coveralls and thighhigh plastic booties. A respirator, hoods, goggles. A second gown, two sets of rubber gloves, and a face shield. Every detail is rehearsed, down to the type of knot securing the smock. We have to make sure were hydrated before we suit up, if you need to use the bathroom, because, its going to take time for us to do that again. Reporter plus, its just hard to work draped in all that plastic and rubber. We did a simulation last thursday with the cdc watching us. After about 45 minutes, they were exhausted, they were soaked in sweat. Its very clear that anything we take for granted in terms of normal functions in an intensive care setting, is so much more difficult. Reporter so staff practice maneuvering around in the gear. Spray everything with bleach. Keep everything nice and calm and stable. Reporter and during simulations, they troubleshoot to find holes in their systems. Here a doctor pretends to be an ebola patient who accidentally tore off the nurses gown. The team must figure out how to react. The patient needs to understand that he cannot pull on you. Reporter and then theres taking off the protective gear. What might seem like a simple act could actually be the most dangerous. Because this is when exhausted nurses and doctors could accidentally contaminate themselves. The hospital is constructing another Isolation Unit outside that will be the primary ebola care center. But all in, the new units will only be able to handle about three patients at a time. And that could pose a problem if the outbreak grows dramatically worse. Hospital officials wouldnt provide specific numbers, but its clear the costs for all this will be considerable. Dr. Kenneth davis heads the entire mount sinai system. This is expensive. The drill, the drilling, the equipment, the construction, its all not been budgeted. And in hospitals like ours, which have a very large percentage of patients who are largely medicare or medicaid, the margins are very narrow. So, were ultimately going to be looking for federal, state, local help. Reporter but while all of this might look like something out of a scifi movie, dr. Davis says, Everyone Needs to remember to stay calm. What separates this from anything else weve ever seen is the degree of anxiety, almost hysteria thats in the population about this. Lets remember, there is one case in new york. There are less than a handful of cases in the united states. And the cases are, by and large, Health Care Workers. Reporter for weeks to come, mount sinais Health Care Workers will continue to practice the new procedures. Procedures they hope they will never have to use. Woodruff there was a major shift in power today in the west african nation of burkina faso as that countrys strongman leader, a u. S. Ally who had bee3 in power almost three decades, fled the country. Jeffrey brown has the story. Brown there was cheering on the streets of Burkina Fasos capital. After president Blaise Compaore agreed to step down, 27 years after he seized power in a coup. In a written statement, he called for free and Transparent Elections within three months. Then, he left the city, apparently heading toward neighboring ghana. Mass demonstrations had erupted in recent days, against compaores attempt to seek another term. Yesterday, mobs stormed the Parliament Building and set it aflame, leaving windows shattered, and burned out cars. With word of the resignation today, the head of the military announced he would assume power, for now. translated people of burkina faso, today, october 31, 2014, the armed forces have noted the resignation of the head of state. It has been decided that i will take on the responsibilities as head of state. We expect to hold without delay consultations with all the vital forces and the components of the nation with a view to return to normal constitutional life. Reporter the turmoil is being closely watched in washington because burkina faso holds a strategic place in a turbulent region. Its been a u. S. Military ally hosting a base used by American Drones to track insurgents. To the north lies mali, a hub for alqaedalinked militants and to the east, nigeria, where the islamist boko haram is creating havoc. Reporter the ultimate outcome in burkina faso may also raise questions about the durability of other long standing rulers in africa. Brown for more on this im joined now by nii akuetteh, of the african immigrant caucus, an organization aimed at increasing political influence of the african diaspora. His career has focused on fostering relationships between the u. S. And african nations. Well come welcome to you. Thank you. Brown how important is this to the people of burkina faso and why . It is very important. They have been pushing for this for years. The president who departed is very agile. I was not sure he would be able to ride this out as well. So they have removed him. I think the military just came in to stabilize the situation. This is the peoples revolution and its really important. Brown weve seen a number of countries in libya and elsewhere, where a strong man goes but there isnt the infrastructure and Civil Society in place and sur mile ensues. Are there comparisons to be made here in. I think a little bit. I seriously doubt it will get as bad as libya, for one thing because of the influence of the african yiewn and the regional organization. They say if you come to power by unconstitutional means, you are out of the club but we will help you hold elections. And then the military, they have the examples of mali and other places to look at and ghana. I expect they hold their elections. Brown this has been an ally of the u. S. What now . I think the u. S. Is watching the situation carefully. When mr. Compaore decided to withdraw the bill, the u. S. Was not happy. So i think they are trying to handle a situation in which theyve lost an ally but want to have more democratic processes to deal with whoever comes. Burkina is indeed strategically placed in a turbulent region so i think the u. S. Will try to work with those. Brown this is a region that does not get a lot of attention for the most part. What does Something Like this tell us about the potential for change in other countries in the region, ifco anything at all . I think what it does, many african countries want the power to throw out their leaders if they dont like them. Usually these are leaders of powerful countries outside. So other countries such as rwanda, uganda, they bear watching because you never know when the people will gain the upper hand. Brown and do you see people in a lot of these countries gaining a new voice . I think they do but i think what will happen is the president s in those countries are holding on to power, so it would not surprise me if the suppressed news of whats happening in burkina faso, if theyre putting Security Forces out there to hold more tightly to power. Brown where there are countries with islamist groups, in burkina faso and elsewhere in this region, are there groups potentially there to step in . Yes, there are. So i think it has to be watched carefully. Nigeria has done a good job on its own. Its not out of the woods. Nigeria is powerful and has been competent but they have boko haram. So there are things to watch out for and be concerned about in west africa. Brown have a great day. Thank you very much. Pleasure. Brown we turn now to a battle over making public a Senate Report on the c. I. A. s interrogation tactics. In 2009 the Intelligence Committee launched its investigation three years later, the 5,000 classified report was finalized. The cia disputed some of the conclusions. Earlier this year, senators learned the c. I. A. Searched Senate Computers without notifying the committee. And, in april, the committee voted to release a summary of the report. But the c. I. A. Has insisted on more redactions to protect Agency Assets and secrets. We will hear from a former cia official in a moment. But we begin with a member of the senate Intelligence Committee, senator ron wyden of oregon. Senator, welcome to the program. Thank you, judy. Woodruff why is it you want this report released . Usedy, the c. I. A. Leadership maintained for years that torturing prisoners was essential to obtaining information, that we werent able to get the information we needed to protect our country without torture. What this report shows is that a number of the claims that the c. I. A. Leadership made about the value of enhanced interrogation simply was untrue and a, regrettably, it looks like the culture of misinformation at the c. I. A. Leadership is still going strong. Woodruff isnt the reluctance to release it, doesn
