The Trump administration plans to set up a quarantine facility for Americans in Kenya. A former CDC official CBS News talked to called that move unethical and irresponsible because Kenya doesn't have the proper containment facility or much experience dealing with Ebola. One affected American missionary, Dr. Peter Stafford, has responded well in a Berlin hospital to antiviral and supportive treatments. Six other Americans have been transported to Germany and the Czech Republic for monitoring. Atlanta's airport and Washington Dulles also have this enhanced screening. New York's JFK will ramp up tomorrow, midnight. And on everyone's radar with all this, international soccer teams and their fans are about to pour into the US for the World Cup, now two weeks away. Tony. Mark Strassmann on a big story for us tonight. Mark, thank you very much.
