Captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this morning. We begin with new fears of a Global Pandemic as the ebola continues to spread. Theyre declaring Public Health emergencies. Theyre pleading for help in getting virus under control. So far as many as 729 people are believed dead including one american. It is the largest Ebola Outbreak ever, spreading across four countries. Eight organizations are telling their workers to leave the region. Debora patta is in johannesburg with a growing concern of the virus with no cure. Debora, good morning. Reporter good morning. The president of liberia with over 320 known ebola cases there has issued emergency procedures putting the country in virtual lockdown and a top official issued a warning telling cbs this morning that controlling the epidemic is beyond his countrys capabilities. Theyve been overrun by the sick and the dying. In a desperate effort to contain the virus the government has shut down schools and closed many borders. The assistant minister of health. Our government has declared it as a humanitarian crisis that is above the control of the government. Reporter theyve appealed for more international aid. Experienced medical staff in treating ebola. The disease is often fatal with some people not showing symptoms for up to three weeks after an infection. One victim was Patrick Sawyer who was working in nigeria and became violently ill. His wife said he was planning on returning to minnesota in august. He got it from his sister who also died from ebola weeks earlier without them knowing that she had ebola. Two americans aids workers who were infected showed slight improvement. Their charity, samaritans purse, is now evac yagting all nonessential personnel. The peace corps is pulling out 40 of them in the region. The crisis is far from under control. Now, this is not just a liberian problem. The disease is spreading in new guinea and sierra leone and Public Health officials and border officials are on high alert across this continent bracing themselves for the arrival of others from other african states who may be carrying the deadly ebola. Charlie. Thanks. Dr. Jon lapook is with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. We want you to tell us more about this but how concerning is it that it could spread to the United States . I spoke with doctor monroe who knows a lot about ebola and other diseases. He said look theoretically people come could over here and it could be the United States. However, this is not africa. We have very sophisticated infektzin Infectious Disease controls. Hopefully its easterlyrlyearly, identified, and they can track down the contacts and its much less of danger here than it is in africa. There its a quite different swachlgts im concerned were starting to reach the Tipping Point in africa where it tees going to be harder and harder to get it under control. And you spoke about the incubation period where people could be on planes headed to the United States and have it and not even know about it. Isnt it true its not like the flu, its spled through bodily fluids. Im glad you bring it up. This is not spread through the air. It is spread through direct contact with body fluids. Its hard to get it from person to person. So youre not going to get it sittinging next to someone on a plane. In africa they dont trust the doctors, theyre running away from the doctors and the Health Clinics and they dont have the same kind of infectious control procedures that we have here. Dr. Lapook. Thank you so much. Israels government promises no immediate end. He said israels army will shut down every hamas tunnel to the border even if there is a truce. He called up 16,000 additional reservist groups. Barry petersen is in gaza city where the death toll is rising again. Barry, good morning. Reporter good morning. In quiet areas around here were seeing people out and about. It may not seem the wisest thing but people are desperately trying to get supplies. Israel definitely has the military high ground but there was condemnation on yesterdays predawn attack on this school. They slammed into the facility crowded with more than 3,000 refugees. The israelis say theyre still investigating. Israel said it was taking fire from near the school. The u. N. s secretary called the attack outrageous. The Obama Administration said it was, quote, extremely concerned. Hamas called it simply a massacre. The rights of palestinians chris gunnis has seen a lot of the war but the School Attack was too much as he spoke with al jazeera. This was another killing field, a market where people flocked thinking they were safe during a fourhour ceasefire. They were wrong and many paid with their lives after multiple hits. Now an update we wish we did not have to report on a baby born by caesarean on monday after her mother was killed. Quite simply, she didnt survive. I hoped she would live said her grandmother. She was my connection to my daughter. Today baby shanna is now just another addition to the fresh graves of gaza. There will be more fresh graves today. Were seeing a lot of activity. Really all of gaza is just echoing with the russell of missile and artillery hits. Barry, thank you. Disturbing new details about an american who became a suicide bomber. He reportedly returned to the u. S. After his training but before he cared out the attack. Babars in washington where terror officials are trying to make sure others dont slip through the cracks. Good morning. Good morning. He had traveled to syria and then had returned to his florida home for a few months but what officials apparently did not know at the time is that the 22yearold from ft. Pierce florida, had linked up with someone in al qaeda. Suddenly in may shows a propaganda tape. It shows him carrying out a suicide Bombing Mission there. At the time we knew he was an american. We did not know his real name. Then u a a few days ago, there was this tape. Hes show biting destroying and burning his u. S. Passport essentially declaring war on america. While he carried out his attack overseas they say his kind of threat is their very top worry. Many of them have linked up with terror groups. Now the fbi is trying to make sure none comes home to carry out an attack here. Charlie . Thank you bob. This morning the parliament agreed to lay down arms to protect investigators at the Malaysia Airline disaster site. The plane was shot down two weeks ago. Ukrainian government also says its called off military operations in the area as save officers make their way in. The republicans accuse president obama of changing his Health Care Law without asking congress. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the house passed the bill. Good morning. The next step for republicans now, trying to figure out who their legal councilsel will be and where they might file the suit. Those who in favor say aye. They hit back saying this lawsuit will waste time. They argue its worth it because the president , they say, overstepped his bounds. Some accused him of acting like a king. Our forefathers paid dearly for that freedom. Our freedom is in peril, my friends. We cannot stand by and watch the president shred our constitution. Reporter republicans say only congress has the authority to change the Health Care Law to postpone the employer mandate for one year. If we dont take action now, what stops future president s republican or democrat from eroding our powers further. Democrats say president obama was right to tweak a res regulationregular regulation that wasnt ready. They point to 2006 when president bush waived penalties for seniors who signed up late its unconscionable that when this donothing congress decided to do something, theyre sueing the president for not doing his. We can do much better. The president had this to say to republicans. Stop being mad all the time. Stop this hating all the time. Come on. Lets get some work done together. This lawsuit is truly unprecedented. Individual members of congress have sued a president before but never a full body of congress. And democrats are already sending out fundraising emails asking supporters for help to quiet, send the Shutdown Group packing. The agency left top officials in the dark about extreme interrogation methods. Margaret brennan is at the state department to show us why the Obama Administration is already concerned about the study. Margaret, good morning. Good morning, charlie. Well, this potentially damaging Senate Report is expected this week and it may reveal that the cia did not initially inform then secretary of state coal lynn powell and someup ambassadors about harsh techniques. This contradicts earlier reporting that powell was briefed and participated in meetings during which the Bush Administration authorized these actions. This came to light yesterday after the Associated Press was accidentally emailed a copy of white house talking points. The administration is prepping because they anticipate tough questions even though president obama has labeled these practices torture and ordered them stopped. Now, cbs has not seen this memo. The cia and powell did not respond when cbs contacted yesterday for comment, but what is clear is that some of these revel lagss could be damaging to the perception of the u. S. Norah . Margaret. Thank you. And the cia led by brennan is going to bushing back the support. Minimize the fallout. Indeed. Its what some republicans are calling the smoke gun. Lois lerner is the former irs official at the center of the investigation. She received an email from a friend who called it the wacko gop. She said quote, so we dont need to worry about alien terrorists. Its our own crazies that will take us down. I think these emails show clearly a political bias a political bias to do rights and equal protection. Congress and the Justice Department are investigating the action. The democrats say theres still no evidence the tax agency singled out conservative groups. Attan u. S. Attorney warn the governor and his staff not to interview with the state commission. He set out last year to rule it. A report shows he repeatedly blocked investigators. O cf1 o six emergency workers are recovering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
