8:00 am
but carving a bloody hand, so much spookier. at the end of psycho larn attorney, she carved herself holding a pumpkin. >> like this and offering it to him. >> reporter: offering it to hitchcock. >> do you like long showers? >> as a matter of fact i do. >> reporter: you need a long shower to wash off all that pumpkin. pumpkin sure beats blood circling the drain. jeanne moos, cnn. >> that is certainly true. thank you so much for joining me today, i'm carol costello. "at this hour" with berman and michaela starts right now. >> she breached the quarantine. the bike ride in the middle of a battle with ebola, the nurse ordered to stay inside the house is on the 3406 this morning. what are the authorities going to do about it. nato jets scramble as
8:01 am
russian military planes get caught sneaking into european air space. what's the kremlin up to now? sit down and shut up! >> political oratory at its highest level. is the sit down and shut up version of chris christie the one that could be president? -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hello everyone. i'm john berman. >> i'm michaela pereira. those stories and much more ahead at this hour. right now we're keeping all eyes on that house right now, fort kent, maine, population about 4,000. it might look like nothing special is happening there. however, this is the scene of a battle between the state and nurse kaci hickox. >> this morning she took a bike ride straight into controversy. hickox is the nurse ordered into quarantine after she came back from treating ebola patients in
8:02 am
west after kachlt she said she is not sick and won't stay home as ordered. this morning she proved it. just a short time ago she hopped on a bike and went for a bike ride. there were remarkable pictures. hopefully we have some of those to show you from the morning. reporters and cameras chasing her around, shouting questions. it was a truly bizarre scene. that's her leaving when she came back it was even more strange. but it is a circus that raises serious questions. now state officials are talking about a court order to force her to stay home until the quarantine period is up. >> our jean casarez is among the media gathering outside that home. our jeffrey toobin is here, also, to talk about a bit of this legal dance, if you will, going on. good to have the two of you. jean, we've got to start with you. not only did she break the quarantine, she outright defied
8:03 am
her? set the scene for us. did police follow her? did she say anything when she got back? >> reporter: she's a person of her word. she said she was going to do it on thursday morning if the state didn't change its position. what happened, we were out here and all of a sudden from the back of the house she and her boyfriend came, they had their helmets on with their bicycles. they didn't talk to anyone, they jumped on the bikes and they were off. about 55 minutes later they came back up from the other direction. but after they got back, the chief of police right here of fort kent maine spoke privately with them. i talked to him afterwards and i asked him, what did you say to them? he told me. he said he wanted to welcome her back to the community. he said they are concerned for her safety. he told me previously that people were saying really nasty things about her around town, no out-and-out threats. but they were concerned about her personal safety, that they were not goings to disrespect her privacy. he said there's no order for arrest at all. they just want her to be safe.
8:04 am
right after that she and her boyfriend went back in the house and that's where they've been since then. >> any word what she might do next? is she going to hit the road again? is he going to go and get a cup of coffee in town? i know there isn't much of a town, jean. but any sense of what her plans are? >> reporter: it's a beautiful town. this is northern maine, on the canadian border. a small knit community. as to what she'll do next, we don't know. she is in the home and maybe the bike ride for the day allowed her to get out. we don't believe she was around anybody in particular because it was just a rural area bike ride. but i think the question now is what is the state of maine going to do? to be very technical on this, she's violated the voluntary quarantine that they asked her to do to remain in her home for 21 days until they believe she's not susceptible then to having the symptoms of ebola. so will the state now make the next move? it's sort of like a chess game, right? >> right. >> let's bring in jeffrey toobin to talk about the chess game,
8:05 am
the dance, whatever we want to talk about. there are questions about whether or not, jeffrey, did this woman break the law. >> reporter: she did not, not at this point. the state of maine has asked her to be in a quarantine situation for 21 days. >> asked. >> reporter: and they have threatened to go to court today to make a formal court order which would require her to be isolated in her home. but at the moment they have simply asked her, and there is no formal requirement at this point. but this could change moment to moment if maine goes to court and if a judge grants that order, neither of which is guaranteed. >> neither of which is guaranteed, jeffrey. what do you think a judge would look at when making this decision? you bring up a great point. we don't know what the state of maine is going to do. they certainly were talking as if this was something they would
8:06 am
enforce. they haven't done it yet. if they do go to a junl, what would a judge consider? >> reporter: this is a really interesting legal situation because usually judges defer to public health authorities. they say, look, i'm not a judge. we have public health experts here. i am going to defer to their judgment about whether someone is contagious or not. i will honor their request and issue the order they seek. however, as we all know, people in her situation, in nurse hickox's situation are not, as far as we know, contagious in any way. think about this, berman, people in precisely her situation back from africa, inside of 21 days were meeting with the president of the united states yesterday, and he didn't have a problem. how can the state of maine say the people of this small town are at risk?
8:07 am
>> jeffrey, add to that all the doctors and nurses and medical staff that dealt with dr. brantly, nancy write bol at emory university hospital. here is my question, jeffrey, are we just get together a point where this is a power struggle, people are digging in hair heels on both sides? >> well, that's one way of looking at it. another way of looking at it is this is the forces of science against the forces of fear. as far as we know, and certainly i'm not a doctor, but everything i've read and everything i've heard from sanjay and everyone else is people in nurse hickox's situation are not a risk to anyone as long as they do what the cdc says which is voluntary self-monitoring and they find no fever, there is no risk to anyone else. so that's why the president of the united states met with
8:08 am
people like. >> sometimes governmental action is taken on the basis of fear. >> that's true. we're supposed to have judges that are supposed to act on the basis of law and rationality, not fear, although, what could be especially interesting here is if the state of maine says, well, i understand the medical evidence, but think about the community. the community is so fearful it's part of our duty to protect them from that fear. what will a judge do in that circumstance? becomes a tougher call. >> interesting what you're saying. you're not saying protecting them from the threat of catching the virus but protecting them from the fear which is something altogether. such an interesting issue. jeffrey toobin, jean casarez, thank you so much. here sin site from the nbc cameraman. >> muck bow wkpo told don lemon
8:09 am
government officials should have done a better job taming down -- >> people tend to get afraid of the unknown. there are so many factors that go into this disease, being unknown, the fact it comes from a foreign country, it can kill you in this gruesome and overhyped way. i understood the public reaction. i felt like some of our public officials and elected representatives whose responsibility it might have been to dampen that e ploitd that. some people in the media seemed to ride it, to me at the time it felt like it isn't helpful. we need to put our attention back on what's really important. >> that's the key, focusing on west africa. mukpo says his ordeal helped him understand the suffering it has caused in west africa where it has 2340u killed more than 4,000 people. ahead at this hour, the election just five days away. but do not wait to find out what is going to happen. we will tell you the three key

just five days to go and so many races divided by razor-thin margins. there are about nine senate races right now that are super close, many within or very close to the margin of error. but before we talk about the epic event in five days, let's talk about the one in two years plus five days. >> that is because one of the possible candidates for president in 2016 is making pretty big waves, big, loud confrontational waves. take a listen to new jersey governor chris christie in a bit of a test stay exchange over hurricane sandy relief.

8:16 am
have it, buddy. until that time, sit down and shut up! joining us now, cnn political commentator margaret hoover and political analyst jason johnson. good morning to both of you. let's put the sandy policy discussion aside, margaret. if you look at this from a purely performance standpoint, this is a very different guy than we've seen in the last while following the bridge scandal, got a little bit more meek. but the fight is back it would appear. >> you see the chris christie that made chris christie popular for the tea party, made all of his youtube videos on town hall go viral. chris christie is a never guy who has never pretended to be anything other than what he is. what does that guy, by the way, think he's going to get, standing up. >> that guy. you called him just what christie said. >> what does he think he's going to achieve other than giving the governor an opportunity to make
8:17 am
light of him and show his endearing side. >> the question is, and i want to move on from christie in a second. but the question is, does it still have the resonance that it once did? it made him a youtube star by confronting people and audiences. now we're post bridge gate, will it be as much as a craze? >> youtube made him a star and youtube is going to kill this guy for 2016. ki see it now, the montage chris christie is telling people to shut up, sit down, go away, you don't know what you're talking about, especially to women voters. this is not going to go over well when he's running for office. the tony soprano obnoxiousness is cute in your own state. but i think this is going to come back and blow up in his face. i think he's making a serious mistake right now. >> let's turn from 2016 to now, as in five days from now. a brand new poll out of
8:18 am
colorado, quinnipiac poll that shows democrat mark udall trailing cory gardner by seven points. that is an awful lot, jason, with just five days to go. this is an incouple bent democrat. how do the democrats blow this race, jason? >> i was just in denver, co-corks two weeks ago. it has to do with fracking. you dahl has taken a horrible stance on an issue that a lot of miners consider very important. fracking is a method of extracting natural gas. he took obama's stance, and it's angered a lot of voters. you dahl didn't pay attention to this upcoming wave. he wasn't like kay hagan in north carolina. he didn't pay attention. i think he's done. a lot of democrats i think will suffer the same fate next week. >> i do agree with you he's done. i'm from denver, colorado. one of the things that's been
8:19 am
unfortunate is that udahl went negative early trying to pick social issues as divisive. cory gourder in not being good on women and he responded by saying i'm not somebody to divide colorado, i want to bring people together. his tone has hit the mark. the "denver post," not a conservative publication in colorado endorsed gardner and then made a case for being able to broker a compromise. >> can we look at another poll? let's take a look at georgia. democrat michelle nun leading in polls there, pretty much been a red state for a few years now. why don't you address why you think she's showing such strength. >> we talked earlier, i think she's a strong candidate. i think david may not be a strong candidate. both have names that are very well known in the state. both related to former governors, sam nunn and also sunny purdue, david purdue.
8:20 am
he's run into trouble in a state that has the lowest employment rate in the entire country. he was the ceo of corporations that frankly textile corporations which participated in a lot of outsourcing as the industry did in the '90s and 2000s where a lot of these factories were shutting down. that's a hard case for people to make, how are you going to bring it back? he's not able to address it as succinctly. >> quick last word on georgia, jay sochblt i think georgia has gone from a state that democrats would love to win, it would be extra credit to one being now the democrats absolutely have to win if they have any sliver of hope at all of keeping the senate. >> i think it's going to be really close. it's going to be a run-off. i don't think nunn or purdue will get 50% of the vote. if this turns out to be a runoff and we don't end up having the second election until january, hillary clinton is going to be here with a quickness, because
8:21 am
this state is ground zero for where the democrats think they can make advancements in 2016. they think they can turn georgia purple or possibly blue. this senate race is part of that race. >> jason and margaret, great to have you here. remember, you should get out and vote. many states you can vote already. get out and vote now. if you can't vote now, vote tuesday. that is election day. after you have voted, make sure to find out what happened. watch the results right here on cnn. ahead at this hour, russian bombers in european air space. what are they looking to do and what could come next.

breaking news out of wichita, kansas. this is mid continent airport there where a plane apparently crashed into a two-story building at the airport. this is according to our affiliate ksnw. we're told one person is in critical condition. >> what we know from our affiliate there in wichita is that apparently this was the flight safety building. there are a number of people inside according to ksn, they know one person is in critical condition. obviously they're looking the see the people in the airplane, the other people in the building. there are several emergency units on scene. you can see smoke rising from the corner of your screen and all of the emergency vehicles there. we're going to keep an eye on this and try to get more information to pass along to you. this is the scene playing out at mid continent airport in wichita. in the meantime, new this
8:26 am
morning, a white house computer system hacked. whoever did it was in russia. that is the word from u.s. officials. this breach was so complex, the investigators say they would not be surprised if the russian government was behind it. >> now russian president vladimir putin is responding telling cnn, quote, is there evidence? we've been hearing a series of groundless allegations against russia so we can't take them seriously any longer unless there's a proof. >> there's alarming security corn certain about russian warplanes, fighters and bombers dangerously close to key u.s. allies. >> in one case f-16s from norway intercepted eight aircraft from the north sea. six of them turned back. two did not and wound up getting intercepted by fighter jets from portugal. british fighters also had to be scrambled. >> whatever the intentions of the russians, this is a plat-out
8:27 am
dangerous situation. it poses a threat to civilian aircraft and intercepting a military flight is no small matter either. joining us to talk about this, pentagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara, what's going on here? >> look at that map. look at the amount of territory the russian military is covering these days in the skies over europe? what nato officials are saying is, look, the russians have been at this game for a long time. they send up their bear bombers, their aircraft, but not in such large groups and generally not going as far south as you see there, portugal. this operation the russians have been conducting has been in the north atlantic, in the baltic, in the black sea all the way down to portugal. it's the volume, it's the level, the number of aircraft the russians are putting up. not a violation of the law. they're not doing anything illegal, but the concern is what you guys are saying. what they're not doing is they're not using their spran
8:28 am
sponders, not filing flight plans, not in communication with civilian air traffic control. every day there are thousands and thousands of commercial flights over europe. if the russians are up there and they're not transponding, not talking, this becomes a serious concern, that european air traffic control that many of us have flown through, that air space, they need to know who is out there, they need to know who is flying. the russians are flying but not talking and that's a problem. >> sobering thought, no transponder, not on radar. here is the question that begs to be asked, how is washington responding? >> nato and, of course, the u.s. being the biggest or one of the biggest putting a lot of sunshine on this problem. nato came out with a press release detailing all of this yesterday because it wanted the -- the alliance wanted the russians to know that nato knows
8:29 am
what they're up to. nato is the organization that highlighted that they weren't transponding, they weren't filing flight plans and weren't in radio communication, so a lot of publicity they hope will make the russians maybe have a second thought. >> all right, barbara starr, thanks so much. ahead at this hour, isis levels its brutality on women, kidnapping, rapes and worse. we'll hear from one teenager who managed to survive this torture. has the fastest retinol formula to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one week. neutrogena®. to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one week. dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria.

more shocking evidence of isis militants engaged in the worst of human behavior, women very young, kidnapped and worse, raped repeatedly by members of isis achb used as sex slaves. our ivan watson spoke to a young victim and brings us her
8:33 am
horrifying story. >> reporter: janna was a 19-year-old high school senior with dreams of becoming a doctor when isis first came to her village. >> they came to the village and said you have to convert to islam or we will kill you. >> reporter: janna, not her real name, is from the village of ethnic kurds surrounded and occupied by isis. soon after she says they ordered the entire village to go to the school where they separated the men from the women. according to a united nations report isis gathered all males older than 10 years of age, took them outside the village by pickup trucks and shot them. a different fate lay in store for the women. >> translator: they separated the girls and the women who had children and the old women. they took us girls to mosul to a big three-story house. >> reporter: janna says there were hundreds of girls in the house and they got visits from
8:34 am
the men of isis. >> translator: they came to the room and looked around and the girls, and if they liked one, they chose her and took her. if the girls cried and didn't want to leave, they beat the girl. the guy who chose me was 70 years old and he took me to his house. there were four yazidi girls there already. they hit us and didn't give us enough to eat or drink. he put me in a room and put a gun to my head. i was on the ground. he said i will kill you because you won't convert to islam. that night they came and took an 11-year-old girl away. when she came back she told me they raped her. >> reporter: this doctor is an adviser to the kurdistan regional government and an expert on gender violence. she says isis kidnapped more than 2,500 yazidi women last august. since then she say it is captive women have been bought and sold
8:35 am
across iraq and syria like cattle. >> they have two first aims, first to recruit youngsters by giving them these young girls and women, and secondly to humiliate and expose these women into slavery and systematic rape. >> reporter: since august kurdish authorities succeeded in rescuing only a frack slun of the thousands of kidnapped yazidi women. she says all of those rescued say they were raped. >> if you could say something to the man who took you to his house, what would you want to tell this guy? >> translator: i don't want to tell him anything. i just want to kill him. >> such terrible heartbreak that young woman and so many others have endured and are enduring. we want to turn to breaking news now. thomas manino the mayor of
8:36 am
boston has died at age 71 following a lengthy battle with cancer, the 53rd mayor of boston. >> former mayor, the longest serving mayor in that city's history, served for more than 20 years in office. known as the urban mechanic. a lot of big city mayors are these big colorful figures, larger than life. he got stuff done. he wasn't some big fiery orator. there was a favorite poll, 57% of bostonians say they met thomas menino. 57% of the people in that city say they met this man because he was everywhere. of course, at the very end of his career, he was the mayor of boston during the boston marathon bombings. a lot of people look at that and say that may be one of his
8:37 am
finest moments, he tip fid "boston strong." he was limping around, even in and out of the hospital during this period dealing with his sickness. >> several times we saw him on camera in press conferences in a wheelchair. he battled a lengthy illness. he's been sick as far back as 2003 when he first had surnlry. we should mention he's survived by his wife and two children and six grandchildren. definitely a loss for the city of boston. you're a son of that city, i know you feel this loss significantly. >> he will be missed, but he served the city very well. everyone there will remember him. we'll be right back.

8:40 am
every little thing sfwl this week a bombshell article in the atlantic quoting the president balling benjamin netanyahu names. listen how the white house is trying to massage the situation. >> the relationship is not in crisis. the relationship is actually fundamentally stronger in many respects than it's ever been. we have the greatest and strongest security cooperation between the united states and israel that has ever occurred, and prime minister netanyahu has held to that on many occasions. president obama and prime minister netanyahu have a constructive and effective relationship. they have met one another more frequently than president obama has met any other foreign leader. >> susan rice, sounds like damage control to me. let's bring in global affairs correspondent elise labott.
8:41 am
she is set to meet the senior israeli delegation, or at least we know the white house is set to receive them today. i'm kind of thinking it would be nice to be a fly on the wall. i'm expecting this will be addressed. no? >> michaela, it might be addressed on the margins, but i don't think it will be a big issue on the meeting. everything that susan rice said more or less is true, the security relationship between the u.s. and israel is still very tight. u.s. officials say they acknowledge that there's a lot of tension in the relationship with israel right now, particularly on name calling that the israelis have done about secretary of state kerry and also about settlement activity, a lot of other things. but that security relationship, the u.s. funding for iron dome, for instance, or how they approach iran, that type of stuff is sack row san sangt. while it might be mentioned, i don't see this name calling have a big effect on u.s. foreign policy on israel or vice versa. >> didn't need the name calling
8:42 am
for the situation to be tense right now because the united states has been very critical of settlements, of housing units being built inside jerusalem. what's the prime minister's response to all this been? >> basically he was a little bit defensive about it, saying that he was just working on behalf of israel's best interest. take a listen to prime minister netanyahu yesterday. unfortunately we don't have that sound -- unfortunately we don't have that sound. but basically what he said was he was acting on israel's best interest. he said i've been on the battlefield many times, i've risked my life for the country and i'm not willing to macon sessions that would endanger our country. he did go on to do a little damage control of hips own saying that he really treasured the deep partnership that the u.s. and israel have. i am hearing from some of my
8:43 am
sources that while that security relationship remains tight, the u.s. frustration with israel could manifest itself in the longstanding political support that the u.s. offers israel at the united nations and in europe, as you know, palestinian president abbas has been going to the united nations trying to declare a palestinian state. whou is the u.s. going to defend israel? maybe the u.s., while keeping close to israel on security issues, may not offer that strong unequivocal going the extra mile type of support that you've seen in the past, john and michaela. >> elise labott, thank you so much. something happening at this hour, dr. anthony fauci of the national institutes of health speaking right now at the washington ideas forum in washington, d.c. among the things he's discussing is the u.s. response to ebola, given the quarantine battle goings-on right now in maine. we're going to keep an eye on this and monitor it. let you know if he announces anything or makes any news

8:46 am
that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions,

8:48 am
board and if there were any other people in the building. >> a king air 200. no word on how many people on board. the affiliate said one person in critical condition. we will tell you when we find out more. we want to turn now to one of the greatest mysteries arguably, what happened to amelia earhart whose plane disappeared on her flight around the world back in 1937. researchers believe they may have the answer now. they believe this piece of aluminum discovered some 23 years ago in the southwest pacific came from earhart's aircraft. >> this photo was taken during her stop over in miami. investigators say it is a perfect match to the fragment. they released this statement, the patch was as unique to her particular aircraft as a fingerprint is to an individual. the group will return to the island next year to see if they can find more clues. joining us to talk about this is amelia rose earhart -- no
8:49 am
relation, which is a story in and of itself. she completed her name sake's round-the-world journey in a single engine plane just this year. tell us your thoughts on this new connection? >> you know, it's certainly exciting. any piece of evidence that leads us closer towards putting the cap on that huge mystery of what happened to amelia earhart, it lights me up because it gets people reengaged in her story which has fascinated millions of people. >> it fascinated your parents so much that they named you after her. you actually retraced her -- i was going to say her footsteps, but her wing steps, if you will, and went on this same journey that she was endeavoring to do. i'm curious, given that voyage that you've taken, do you have theories about what happened to her? >> you know, now that i've flown through the south pacific, flying over areas like papua new
8:50 am
guinea is very close to where this piece of metal was found, not only did i gain a new perspective on the amount of bravery amelia and fred noonan had, but also certainly give light to the possibilities out there, if she was able to make it to an island and live a few days that's a theory. it's tough for me to choose as her namesake because i've been contacted by so many research groups with all the different theories. i try to focus on her life and legacy and leave the professionals to do the research work on exactly what happened. >> you've flown over the island where they found the new piece of metal that's led them to reach this big conclusion. tell me about that place where they found this metal and what of these many theorys would lend itself to that metal being there? >> you know, i flew about 350 miles away from the area where the metal was found. i flew directly over howland island where the runway was
8:51 am
built back in the 1930s for her to land on after she passed through papua new guinea. a similar one to where the metal was found and it's tiny. we're talking four miles across in terms of the beach around the island, 450 square acres on howland island in particular, so tiny. it would be tough to survive because, obviously, there's no inhabitants out there. she would have to be living on what was on the island which basically is just small bushes and brush. you know, if this turns out to be linked to her connection i hope that area of the world is the main focus and certainly we can find the rest of the aircraft. >> my goodness. after alls these years, it would be truly amazing for this mystery to finally be solved. amelia rose earhart, thank you so much for joinings us today and hopefully we can talk to you again once they get out there and take a better look at that area. >> all right. coming up for us, lebron james, plays his first game back with the cleveland cavaliers.
