from ebola? >> first of all, post ebola, it means people have cleared the virus and they are no longer ill with ebola virus, but some of the manifestations that people are left with and quite frankly we don't know how long they will be left with that because some of them have been having these symptoms for months to even as long as a year and they include a wide variety of things related to vision, the eyes, to joint aches, to neurological issues, issues of restlessness, sleeplessness, weakness. some of the really quite severe to the point of being relatively incapacitated. >> reporter: in addition to his concerns about post ebola syndrome, his team is working to understand something even more dangerous. whether the ebola virus is live on in the bodies of survivors. there's probably no team of researchers better equipped and more sophisticated and more capable than yours here. how much do you all know about the ebola that's getting into these sanctuary sites, eyeball, spinal fluid and elsewhere i

you see the signs, stop ebola, fight ebola. we are not telling the community anything. that. >> to keep ebola at bay and win the war on post ebola syndrome in west africa, education and dispelling myth like ebola key. >> we knew there was not enough physicians, nurses, hospitals. let's use ebola, the most acute greatest public health emergency we had in recorded history. let's use it as the string board, the platform for doing things that are right. >> and that, he says, begins with getting sick west africans to trust their doctors. >> how do you develop trusts, management skills to manage the fantastic staff that you have, and the brick and mortar hospitals you have to gain the trust of the whole community and be able to diagnose, detect, are sick. >> reporter: skinner says that is important now, because they have more to worry about than post ebola syndrome. there's evidence that in some survivors the virus can hide, avoid detection methods, and possibly be transmitted through mucus, faeces , breast milling. . >> we found live virus 63 days after he recovered. it's go

with ebola governments were saying things like don't get ebola, that's not helpful. what they need to do is put out specific actionable messages so people can do things to prevent getting the virus. that's what gavin mcgregorgregor skinner is suggesting. >> the centers for disease control suggests that women not get pregnant for a few years? >> it's not a practical plan. we brought that up and he said, you got to give population specifics, you can't say don't have section. wear deet coated clothing, wear nets over the your beds. >> on the list of things at a can be done, vaccines for ebola, that became a part of the conversation when we saw so many people dying in africa, what about the likelihood of getting out some prevention quickly? >> when we did the ebola piece, that is just with happening a few weeks ago, we are working on it. fast forward to now, sometime in 2016 we are going to have a zika vaccine in trials. maybe not widespread or safe for use but we are going to have a trial. >> is that because something is different in the case what's happened, we are tal

ebola-free. the epidemic is declared over. after two years and 11,000 deaths, the world health organization gives the region the all clear. we asked the w.h.o. what are the chances of the virus flaring up again? also coming up on the show, islamic state claims responsibility for a string of bomb attacks in the indonesian capital jakarta. seven people died in the blast. and will this be the winning role for leonardo dicaprio? the oscar nominations are announced. we will tell you our picks for the most coveted awards in the film world. ♪ i'm brent goff. it's good to have you with us. a declaration thousands of africans did not live to hear. tonight, the world health organization says the ebola outbreak in west africa is over. ebola-free after two years and 11,000 deaths. they declared liberia clear. making it the final country to receive the all-clear. the world's worst known outbreak of the virus. the vast majority were in liberia, guinea, and sierra leone. >> the world holding its breath for months. graves for the many dead,

it's one of the world's most deadly diseases -- ebola. so, it's no surprise that to fight it, it takes a world of cooperation and a lot of resources. and that costs money. to raise funds and awareness of ebola, a concert was held at the united nations, and "teen kids news" was there. >> when you think of fighting ebola, you wouldn't think that one of the most powerful weapons would be a red carpet. but it is. >> we are here to support the families who are suffering from all the ramifications of ebola. >> it's about every human having the right to treatment, and i think that it's a global problem. it's not west africa's problem. >> the a-listers were all here ebola and to show their appreciation. >> god bless. god bless america to help us. thank you very, very much. >> one performer taking part in the night's concert is this teen rapper. >> i personally feel that being african-american, i have african roots, and, you know, i can't allow somebody else to just die off of a sickness that can be such easily avoided. that's where my heritage co

the nation was deemed ebola free in november, but officials from the c.d.c. expected potential flare-ups. we have more from atlanta. >> over two years after it began, the ebola outbreak that took over 11,000 lives, the deadliest in recorded history appeared to be over in west africa. >> we have to be very clear that although today is an important milestone, it's only a milestone. it is not the end of the ebola response in west africa. >> then last week, tests on a person who died in northern sierra leone proved positive for ebola. >> clearly a sense of disappointment, but also, there was -- i was encouraged that the case was identified and the response happened according to plan. >> dr. morgan from the c.d.c. arrived back in atlanta from sierra leone, saying health investigators are focusing on the 150 people who came in contact with the woman who died and are working closely with government officials, doctors and border authorities there. the world health organization and c.d.c. warn that more flare-ups are expected. over 4,000 people have died from the ebol

the organizers say the money raised will go a long way to help those battling ebola. for "teen kids news," i'm eric. >> coming up, what we need to know about hurricanes. back. >> katrina, ike, and sandy. for most of us, those are just names. but for thousands of people along our nation's gulf and east coasts, those names are reminders of the incredibly destructive power of nature. emily tells us more. 2008, and sandy 2012. all were powerful hurricanes that slammed into the u.s. in recent years. their winds, rain, and flooding caused tremendous damage. so, no wonder that the more we learn about hurricanes, the better. dr. radley horton is an expert on these super storms. he's a climate scientist at columbia university. welcome. >> thank you. it's good to be here. what's the definition of a hurricane? a hurricane is a storm with very strong winds. it's a storm that forms over the warm waters of the tropical oceans, and as soon as that storm's winds get up to about 35 miles an hour, we call it a tropical storm. and if if its winds get up to 75 miles an hour, it's a hurri

mind you, ebola was transmitted through very close physical contact. which is important because people care for one another in families and so on. and the traditions was burials. and the people had to accept the reality of the virus very quickly and had to change their habits and parts of their culture very quickly. i was surprised how quickly that was done, people understood the threat, changed their behavior and eventually that brought the epidemic to an end. >> you can watch in ebola's wake, this sunday. i'm david schuster in for ali velshi, thanks for watching. incarcerated with older inmates who they say brutally assaulted them. >> grabbed me around my neck and he told me he was going to.

the term ebola-free does not mean that ebola is gone forever. >> it comes to safe practices, hygiene and sanitation measurements. that's where the social mobile ga mobilization is still ongoing. >> for now ebola survivors say she's trying to move in a positive way. despite all the challenges she's grateful to have survived. >> promising justice will be done in the case of a death of former state prosecutor. president macri met the prosecutor's two daughters on the anniversary of his death. he was found dead in his apartment hours just before he was to testify in the bombing of a jewish center. >>> hundreds have employees have lost their jobs in argentina. many of them are political activists and supporters of cristina kirchner. >> a prong test by people who say they have lost their jobs. this woman said she had been working for six years and now her contract has not been rene renewed. the government is playing off state employees and they're accusing of us being activists, of getting paid and not coming to work. i have three children to support, and my contract has not been reviewed.

it has now been 42 days since the last confirmed ebola patient in liberia tested negative. the outbreak in liberia, sierra leone, and guinea killed more than 11,000 people. an infectious disease physician told me that after the latest outbreak there is a silver lining. >> a bit more about how the ebola virus can linger in the human body. so this is precisely why the world health organization is warning we could still see flairups. we have seen patients like the nurse who came back, who had a relapse, months later about the disease, and ian who still has the virus in his eye. we know that about 20% of men will still have virus in their seaman. >> when does africa get to let its guard down? >> i don't think ever. weak economy. people having to be in very close act with the animals that carry the disease in the first place. weak health systems, these things are still there, and you have the ongoing risk of flairups. really, it depends on what kind of access you have to medical care. if you look at the americans who developed ebola, they survived because we had very high level

a pregnancy test for ebola. >> stephen: why do we need this? i didn't realize that's -- >> i call it that because it's a visual process. >> stephen: a stick you pee on? >> yeah, all based on color change, and all you need is a sample from the possibly infected person. >> stephen: this is an example of what it might like like? >> yes. >> stephen: how is it used? put the sample here and put water on each of these load spots and that release as chemical and if the person is affected the center will turn blue. >> stephen: why do we need this? >> because current tests are expensive and complicated and require refrigeration and this which is just the proteins from silk cocoons. >> stephen: i know what that is. i'm much older than 17. (laughter) this has a blue spot. what is this? >> this is what a positive result would look like. >> stephen: am i holding ebola? >> no. (laughter) >> stephen: i didn't know if it got past security. all right. so why did this occur to you? why not go with the baking soda volcano? why did you -- you're a 17-year-old livin

(laughter) (cheers and applause) hey! that's a happy sound! say hello to jon batiste and stay human, everybody! (cheers and applause) i missed you guys! nice to see you again! >> likewise. >> stephen: they're about to ring in 2016. but before they count down to happy town, one more thing: at a recent campaign stop, hillary clinton vowed, if elected, she will investigate u.f.o.s and alien abductions. in response, donald trump vowed to deport the aliens back to space mexico. >> tonight, samuel l. jackson! kitchen founder lisa gross, and google science fair winner olivia hallisey! (cheers and applause) featuring jon batiste and "stay human"! and now it's time for "the late show" with stephen colbert! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: thanks so much. welcome back to television, it's great to be seen again. we always like taking time off, getting our energy back up. i always feel a little disconnected from the news after the holidays.

ebola tested the ability of already overstretched west african health systems to cope. it also tested the ability of the world health organization to cope, your organization was criticized for not failing to act quickly enough. so what lessons can be learned in your opinion? >> well, i think there have been many lessons. perhaps the first one is the importance of investing in strong health systems, particularly in vulnerable countries. we know that the countries of west africa including liberia and sierra leone who were emerging from years of civil conflict, they had very weak health systems. so the outbreak was slow to be recognized, and once it was recognized, we collectively slow to respond. i think we have also learned the lessons of the importance of -- of government leadership in managing major outbreaks. the centrality of communities. communities are vital to -- to getting on top of outbreaks such as ebola, and we were too slow in bringing them on board and leveraging their resources and their understanding of the disease. and then we at the global level, we have

families who are suffering from all the ramifications of ebola. >> it's about every human having the right to treatment, and i think that it's a global problem. it's not west africa's problem. >> the a-listers were all here to help raise money to fight ebola and to show their appreciation. >> god bless. god bless america to help us. thank you very, very much. >> one performer taking part in the night's concert is this teen rapper. >> i personally feel that being african-american, i have african roots, and, you know, i can't allow somebody else to just die off of a sickness that can be such easily avoided. from. >> nico gave us an impromptu preview of his rap song. >> as a people, we are here to survive the pain that we feel lets us know we're alive you can't stop now turn the will into drive have the will of the lord with your hands to the sky >> the concert was held in the giant room where the meets. >> ebola, the silent killer, raging so high in west africa >> this group is called "one voice." although comprised of musicians from several different african countries, the message is

with ebola, governments were saying things like don't get ebola. that's not helpful. what they need to do is put out specific actionable messages so people can actually do things to prevent getting the virus and that's really what gavin mcgregor skinner and others are pushing for. >> but speaking of specific instructions from your government, el salvador suggested that women not get pregnant for a couple of years. >> yeah, that's not going to happen. el salvador doesn't support birth control. right? >> right. >> and it's just not a practical plan. we brought that up with mcgregor skinner and he said, look, you gotta give a population specifics are you can't just say don't have sex. say wear deet impregnated clothing. get rid of standing water around your house, use nets over your bed. practical things that people can do to prevent infection from the virus. >> and so on the list of things that can be done, we do talk about vaccines for example fox, ebola that became a very dig part of the conversation when we were so worried and seeing so many people dieing in africa.

why did you think ebola? to do. i knew i was interested in science and wanted to do something that would have an impact on people's lives, but i didn't know what direction i wanted to take, so i started looking at the news and my science teacher said look for something that inspires you. and last fall was when ebola was really big in the news. >>>>tephen: yeah, a lot of purelle. (laughter) >> so i began looking at how could we limit the spread of ebola because i saw how quickly it was spreading. >> stephen: well, it's a very ambitious thing to make your science project to come up with a quick and easy test for e ela. how -- did it affect your life in any ways? did you say, guys, i'd love to go to a leggo movie with you but i have to fight a global pandemic first? (laughter) was it hard? did it require a great deal of work to make? >> yeah, there was definitely a lot of time put into it and a lot of help from a lot of people. university. i had my science research teacher. i had to contact different companies to get t

international experts reck mentioned cremation to stop the spread of ebola. in this nation, linians believe the dead will come back to haunt the living if they are not well buried. angry mobs destroyed his house. that is not what the young men expected. they thought they would be rewarded. hailed as here rose, and receive apologies from the people who shunned them. they are still waiting. the ban initialment has destroyed their lives. their time is spent drinking alcohol and taking drugs, to get through their macabre task. the men are now forced to live together. the place they hated so much has become a home of sorts. nowhere else will accept them. >>> a second united nations aid convoy has reached the besieged rebel-held town of madaya in syria. but even as supplies made their way to the area, news came of the death of a 3-month-old baby from starvation in a town nearby. four u.n. vehicles have entered madaya and are checking on people in the hospital. caroline malone reports. >> reporter: they have made it to lebanon from duma. they share the story of what

also coming up, >>> iberia is declared ebola free. the world's first ever outbreak is over >>> we look at how hard-won freedoms are shaky after tunisians ousted their president. >>> and refugees wondering where they'll end up next, in calais >>> intorn eastern ja's -- intond eeshia's capital has been hit by a series of coordinated attacks. several are dead. we'll go to step vaessen in jakarta for the latesters -- latest. what news do you have? >> the authorities have given the all clear. some sort of normalcy has been given to the city. except there's tanks parked here in one of the main roads in jakarta. near to the intersection where the attacks took place earlier this morning. at around 10: h-45, the police believe five attackers came into the area and they were carrying six bombs, five small bombs, and one medium-sized bombs have been found by police. one of the attackers ran into starbucks cafe and exploded there. at a very small police post. where a lot of bombs were detonated. police say there was a grenade thrown at the police

if you look at the americans who developed ebola, they've survived. it's because we had very high level i.c.u. level medicine where we could be very aggressive. what is palestinian on the ground in these countries is not that level of care, so you're still looking at 30% to 50% mortality rates in the best of scenarios on the ground. >> flare ups in west africa are likely and the w.h.o. is severely underfunded. >>> nearly 200 cuban migrants are stranded in costa rica and now making their way to the u.s. thousands more are still waiting to make the trip and may wind up in miami. south florida is getting ready for them. >> we have six over there. >> are you going to put bunk beds in there? >> yes. >>> she is run out of time to turn this old house into a temporary shelter for 200 cuban migrants. >> how many days do you have to get ready? >> 20. >> they'd be among the thousands of cubans who could soon arrive in the miami area after being strand understand costa rica in november. >> that guy is in costa rica right now. >> she is in touch with some of them

why did you think ebola? >> i didn't know what i wanted i knew i was interested in science and wanted to do something that would have an impact on people's lives, but i didn't know what direction i wanted to take, so i started looking at the news and my science teacher said look for something that inspires you. and last fall was when ebola was really big in the news. >> stephen: yeah, a lot of purelle.

now the world health organization declares liberia ebola-free. many people are still living in the shadow of the virus. we have the report. >> reporter: the crematorium in the county or what is left of it. it's a place she returns to with great reluctance. at the height of the ebola outbreak in liberia and as bodies piled up in the sfreets, franklin and a group of other men did what few liberians had done before, they set fire to their dead. for four months they burned close to 2,000 bodies. >> reporter: many liberians cannot to blame franklin and other ebola banners as they're known for cremating the dead. international experts recommended cremation to stop the spread of ebola at funerals. in this nation liberia believes the dead will come back to haunt the living if they're not well buried. angry mobs demolished franklin's house. >> that is not what the yuj men expected, they thought they would be awarded and sieved apologies from the people that shunned them. they're still waiting. the banishment from the community makes it already a terrible
