>> the more facts you know, the less pregnant this situation is. >> officials in america's most popular city try to calm the public after a doctor is diagnosed with ebola. >> this is a photoof weapon that was used in the assault. approximately 18 1/2 inches long. it's a metal hatchet or ax as you might describe it. >> another story we're following, police officers ambushed in broad daylight. we'll have more for you on the suspects behind this. also we're learning more about the gunman who open fired at canada's seat of government.
10:01 pm
>> and this man here being hailed a national hero in canada for ending the rampage. you are watching cnn. hello, again pip'm natalie allen. there are calls for calm after the first case of ebola in new york city. a special ditrain medical team was rushed after he developed a high fever thursday morning. then a test came back positive for ebola. his apartment has since pulled off and his fiance and two close friends are now under quarantine. new york's governor down played any danger to the public.
10:02 pm
i know ebola can spread fear just by the sound of the word. ebola is not an air born ill pns .it's contracted with a person is extremely ill and symptomatic. and is basically contracted through bodily fluids. we have been coordinated all day long. birdwell from the federal homeland security office had been fully coordinated. they reviewed everything that we've been doing. we've been doing it with their vice and we are, after having spoken with everyone, doing everything that we need to be
10:03 pm
doing. >> outside dr. spencer's apartment in new york. we heard the official, the governor there down playing any danger to the public. but certainly when people learn that ebola had come to their street, it affects them. >> very much so. the health department workers have been in the neighborhood all day going through, handing out pamphlets. the symptoms of ebola and what they have to be concerned about, trying to allay those fear, but at the same time, taking information for people who have come across dr. spencer. and who may know him. you walk up and down the streets here, everybody has seen this guy. you show them a picture of hip, they know who he is in the
10:04 pm
corner store and the pizza shop. now that the positive result has come out, people joke about ebola coming to their backyard, now it's here. people are saying maybe they'll be a little more cautious and conscious about my health care. about how i'm feeling, what they do and where they go. officials also say there's no reason to fear and yet they are also tracking everywhere dr. spencer went. to parks in new york, to a bowling alley in brooklyn. all those things raise awareness and concern with people. if there's nothing to fear, why are you tracking everywhere he's been and why do we have to know all that? natalie? '. >> absolutely. on one hand, they're assuring the public we've got this and on the other hand, they say they're going to be looking here and there.
10:05 pm
even though his symptoms were slow to, of course, evolve like they always are, they did evolve and southwest is one way you can get ebola. he went bowling and rode the subway and his hands were exp e exposed go ahead, miguel. >> in a dry state, it can stay on doorknobs and table tops for a couple of hours. that's something to be aware of. we expect that health workers will at some point want to get into that apartment and sanitize it and perhaps bring more items to the doctor and see if there's anything else they need to destroy in the apartment. the police presence has gone up a little bit since that positive result came back. and that group he was working with, doctors without border,
10:06 pm
they say he followed all of their protocols for somebody who had worked in a place with ebola. when he started to get the fever, he reported it immediately. and perhaps the most important thing he did do was not go to work. that's one thing they say don't do, don't go to work for 21 days days. he works at presbyterian hospital, about 20 blocks from here. had he got been a to work and dealt with patients, that would be certainly a much greater concern. >> we thank you. thanks, miguel. well, new york officials are looking for anyone who may have had contact with spencer. as we heard miguel talk about, they're setting up an emergency operation center to track as much information as possible. our national security analyst has been to one of those facilities.
10:07 pm
>> you're going to have an incident commander who is essentially intaking information and sharing it amongst jurisdictions as well as zis plins. the interest thing about ebola as we switch gears now into this threat is of course, it's coming across the public health community, but every community that may have come in contact with a doctor. the energy operation center acts as a hub for all of this information. and also deploying i resources. so let's say we heard this bowling alley that the doctor went to, now there will be the resources, the bowling alley to if ig you're out where he was, how he's feeling. these emergency operation centers are stood up, often during a hurricane or a big
10:08 pm
event like the fourth of july as a way to just sort of centralize what are very disperse investigations across geography, across disciplines and of course, across time because he has been out and about the last couple of days. >> there's more ebola news to tell you about outside of new york city. a 2-year-old girl is now mali's first confirmed case of virus. the world health organization says mali is among the west african countries where it expects to start ebola vaccine trials in january. the who says the disease has now killed more than 4,800 people. now we turn to the other story we're following this new york. officials trying to determine why a man attacked four police
10:09 pm
officers with a hatchet. we have this surveillance video we've shown you, and officials say he had been hiding behind a bus shelter as if waiting for a moment to go and attack the officers. and they're concerned about possible links to terrorism. we get more now from jim shuto. >> four police officers walking. they had paused to take a photo when this man came out swinging a hatchet and attacked them. one injured in the arm, another injured in the head, critically injured. and we're learning more about the attacker. he's identified by police as zale thompson, 32 years old. he had a criminal record in california. he was discharged from the navy for misconduct. what is truly capturing the attention now of the new york city police department are his
10:10 pm
powings on social media, on facebook, on youtube, which gives them suspicions to recent ties to attack soldiers, members of law enforcement like we saw in the two attacks earlier this week in canada. i bulletin has gone out to have a heightened level of awareness against acts like this one. this is exactly the kind of attack i've been told soom time now by intelligence officials that they're very concerned about. so-called lone wolf attacks, that are radicalized on their own, possibly on the internet and make a choice on their own to carry out attacks. as we saw here, all you need is a hatchet. the attacks with a hatchet. another one a car that he used to attack and kill a canadian soldier. the level of concern here in canada and also the u.s., very high for these kinds of attacks.

10:16 pm
>> the first time you see the shooting sus pengt, he's driving away from the war memorial toward parliament. people begin to scatter away from the monument. the video shows him pulling up near one of the front gates of parliament. this person walks towards the vehicle before turning and running away. the suspect runs out of the car with his gun heading full speed towards the center of parliament. the shooter approaches these vehicles parked outside the parliament building and he heads to the car parked in front. there's some type of exchange between the shooter and the driver of the front vehicle and the driver eventually runs away. the suspect takes the car and drives toward the main parliament building. when royal canadian mounted police take notice they begin to follow the car. with officers in pursuit, he pulls up to the main entrance, gets out of the vehicle and runs inside. only seconds later shot s ring out. the sergeant-at-arms kevin

>> welcome back. the ebola story out of new york in just a few moments. but right now, another story we're also watching out of africa. it appears boko haram has kidnapped at least 60 more women and girls in nigeria. a this is training video you're seeing here from the islamist terror group boko haram. last week, as you may recall,
10:22 pm
the nigerian government said it reached an agreement with boko haram that would lead to the release of more than 200 girls kidnapped in april. you remember the international campaign to bring back our girls to try to get them released. nigeria officials said that was going to happen. that was last weekend. but boko haram has never responded. those girls are still missing. we'll have much more on that in our next hour with a live report from the nigerian capital. >> again, a new york doctor has tested positive for ebola. health officials say the likelihood that he spread the virus is low. once again, dr. craig spencer recently returned from guinea where he was treating ebola patients. he is now in isolation at bellevue hospital. the hospital we are told is well equipped to handle the situation. his fiance and two friends are being quarantined, but so far
10:23 pm
they so no signs of the disease. new york's mayor says there's no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. they went out of their way at a news conference a couple of hours ago to reassure new yorkers of that. spencer completed his work with ebola patients in guinea. here's the time line for you. on october 12, he left the country two days later and arrived at new york's jfk airport last friday. doctors say he was experiencing fatigue on tuesday, but went bowling with friends on wednesday. he was running a fever thursday so he immediately contacted doctors without borders and the health department and that is when he tested positive for ebola. >> we are very clear that people become contagious as they become sick. so his first fever, in fact, was today. earlier in the late morning today.
10:24 pm
and he did not have a fever for the whole time since he left guinea until this morning. >> well, gavin macgregor-skinner joins me again. you've been with us for a few hours. thank you for talking with us again. because again, we've got another story in the united states that people are paying attention to. and there were missteps in texas that, you know, people have questions about how our country is responding. we're glad to have the expertise. dr. spencer, certainly being a doctor and being in a very dangerous place knew to really be careful with this. but there are also citizens that can come back to the united states. is the u.s. doing enough in this period when people are back and supposedly watching themselves and self-monitoring.
10:25 pm
is that enough to allay fears that this country is attacking this thing as we should? >> there's areas we could always improve on. i have a lot of friends and colleagues in west africa that plan to come home for thanksgiving or for christmas. they know they're going to monitor themselves every day, but they're also going to ensure that wherever they are, if they do get sick they're not going to rush into a hospital emergency department. they're not going to a health care unit. they're going to pick up the phone and call someone for help. as we do the airport screenings in this country now, we're taking pictures, asking questions. but we're not giving advice to all the west africa travelers, if you do develop ebola symptoms, stay home and call for help. >> stay with us. we'll continue with you. the first confirmed case in new york. the mayor urging people not to worry. but we'll continue our discussion with our guest about
10:26 pm
whether they should be. also was sierra leone slow to respond to the ebola outbreak. the president answers his critics. that's when we come back. amamamamamamamamamamam rich. my social circle includes captains of industry, former secretaries of state, oil tycoons, and ambassadors of countries known for their fine cheeses. yes i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers.
10:27 pm
i have a cold with terrible chest congestion. better take something. theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is. here we go!
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
>> we continue with new york city's first confirmed case of ebola. dr. craig spencer returned to new york last friday after treating ebola patients in guinea. he got a high fever thursday, immediately contacted authorities and was rushed to new york's belle view ropt where he is in isolation. health officials are tracking his movements before he fell ill. shiz fiance and two friends are under quarantine but not showing symptoms. that is good news. i hope it stays that way. stishl officials stress there is little risk he exposed ores to the virus. our guest is an especially deemologist. we were talking about the care these doctors that, my goodness,
10:30 pm
go to west africa in doctors without border, is a highly respected organization. i understand your points about freedom of movement and ease that they should be able to have that, but are we still risking the fear of a city and now all the steps being taken to revisit where he was and we could avoid all of that with someone just being in guarantee teen and they come back and they've had a direct impact with sick people? >> the cdc does have guidance with this. when you come back, you do controlled movement. and what that means is, again, we take our temperature every day, we talk to each other. it's like a b2b network. we don't take smescommercial
10:31 pm
transport. if we take public transport it says to contact the local public health authority. if you develop symptoms after coming back from west africa, you stay at home. this is exactly what dr. spencer did. we should be getting that message out to every person that's coming back from west africa today. if you develop symptoms, fever, body aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrh diarrhea, headache, abdominal pain, stay home, call for help, and the authorities will come and pick you up and take you to an ebola ready hospital. >> any concern that he was starting to feel fatigued, bowling, your fingers sweat in bowling. you can get it from sweat. i know when you first have symptoms it's not like you're highly contagious. but any concern there? he is a doctor, and he knew to follow these guidelines, but there will be citizens that come back. and then you have a whole city
10:32 pm
that has to feel some fear. >> here in the state, we have resources. people like amazon and google, they know where i am all the time. was ub tawe're talking about a homeland security. we could develop a database and use cell phones to send out text messages going how are you today? you can travel it, but tell us on your cell phone via text messaging where you are and how you're feeling. and if they get symptoms, stay where you are and we'll come act pick you up. we could use all the tools in the tool box to ensure that we do the best public health in this country and we protect those people that may develop ebola. and that's important. >> we're learning as we're going. >> and we're coming up with new ideas, hopefully. >> we're not applying what we've learned.
10:33 pm
we've got mers, sars, and we've got now ebola. all these public health principles and actions that we teach our universities for some reasons aren't being applied. dallas was a great example. look at the difference between the dallas conference and also tonight from new york. we've got so much information in the new york, new york health authorities tonight. and they told us they had a plan and they were implementing a plan and gave us a lot of confidence. i feel very confident that bellevue hospital and the new york public health authority, they're in charge, they ear in control and everything is going to be okay in new york. >> certainly dallas was a wake-up call. and we know the cdc team is heading to new york right now. that will be another layer. so thanks once again. great input. we really appreciate it. thank you. well, this current outbreak originated in west africa, of course. there have been concerned about how quickly some of those countries have dealt with this crisis. sierra leone's government is
10:34 pm
defending their response. >> listless with fever, the sick of sierra leone have few options. these people might have ebola, but their chances of getting decent care are slim. just this morning four cases arrived. most days they see more than ten people turning up with ebola symptoms. they're forced to wait in a tent outside. the isolation unit inside is completely full. sierra leone's president defended his government's response. it took you five weeks to speak after the outbreak, ten weeks to visit the epicenter. 15 weeks to declare an emergency, do you accept your personal reaction was slow? >> the ebola outbreak was announced in may. and it was new to all of us. we are not alone in the fight.
10:35 pm
we had a principal advising us on what to do. and at every step of the way, we have had consultations with them. and i believe that we have been reacting appropriately. >> the world health organization has launched an internal investigation into its botched initial reaction. the man recently appointed to supercharge the u.n.'s response says help is on its way. >> the united nations is doing everything we can now. so far the crisis is still ahead of us. the crisis got way out ahead of the international community. but now we are throwing everything we have at it. >> the president put his defense, rather than health minister in charge of the crisis, insisting that will make a difference. >> i am of the view that by the end of the year, we will be in a position of not eliminating, but continuing the ebola virus.
10:36 pm
>> but for those waiting outside freetown's hospital, that will be too late. dan rivers, freetown. doctor kenneth bernard is a forkball former assistant. he joins me via skype. let's just get your reaction to what has developed first of all in new york this evening and the response that's been to it. >> well, i've been very impressed with what the state of new york has done with this. the governor, the state health commissioner, the city health commissioners have just turned out and done exactly what they need to do. they learned a bit from what happened in dallas and i think that if i were going to come down with a fever, that might be ebola, i think new york would be a great place to have to be treated. >> right. but we certainly know that there
10:37 pm
are many places in this country that aren't equipped and now they're isolating certain hospitals that can handle this and they are few and far between. this country certainly couldn't handle too many people developing ebola, correct? >> that's right. i think that there are four major hospitals that are designed to deal with very high containment diseases. we know about those in nebraska and atlanta and washington, d.c. and elsewhere. but what new york did was what every state needs to do. and that is they need to designate certain hospitals. i think new york designated eight. and trained people up, tested them, and i think they're prepared, and i think they're prepared to deal with it appropriately. >> and we certainly know that dr. spencer was on top of his situation. but at the same time, he took
10:38 pm
public transportation, he went bowling, he was in a car, he was out running. and does that give you any pause, the question about whether people that have had direct contact with people suffering from ebola are able to move about the community until they get a fever? and yes, they're taking their fever twice a day. but what if they just didn't notice they had a heightened fever for a while and are now showing symptoms and didn't realize it. is it just too risky not to put people in quarantine? >> well, you have to decide what you really call quarantine. in this case, i think that people who have taken care of critically sick ebola patients like dr. spencer and the two nurse nurses in dallas, for example, they're at highest risk. probably if it were me, i would
10:39 pm
probably put a little bit more intensive scrutiny on their behaviors and travels for the 21 days after they've had their last contact with a critically ill ebola patient. but remember, the kinds of contacts that he's had since he's come back to the united states, he's not been very sick. and he's only really been sick for the last couple of days maybe. and as was demonstrated in dallas with the 40-plus people that had contact with mr. duncan before he became ill, none of them got ebola. i think you're going to see that here, too. i think there's a lot of concern in new york city, but i think that there's really very, very little risk that anybody who was exposed to him before he admitted himself to the hospital, i think the risk is very small. >> that's good news to hear. we're learning more about what
10:40 pm
to do and still trying to figure out where we've got to go with this. we really appreciate your expertise. >> this is public health in the real world. this is what happens in public health. you get a new disease in a new area acting in a new way and you adapt your control measures to that in real time. we don't have the ability to wait for a couple of months and see what all the facts are before we make decisions. so the public health people are real heros. although not as big of heroes as the people who are taking care of the patients in west africa where the real problem is now. >> absolutely. thank you so much dr. kenneth bernard. we'll probably talk to you again if the story develops. we appreciate it. well, coming up here. ice hockey, scenic views. kaubd has a l-- canada has a loo offer, but this is not a tourist add. it's an isis recruitment video. anncr: hampton knows it's your most important videoconference of the day.
10:41 pm
hi! hi, buddy! anncr: that's why the wifi and free hot breakfast are something to smile about. and good reasons to book now. feel the hamptonality ever since we launched snapshot, my life has been positively cray-cray. what's snapshot, you ask? only a revolutionary tool that can save you big-time. just plug it in, and the better you drive, the more cash you'll stash. switching to progressive can already save ye $500. snapshot could save ye even more. meat maiden! bringeth to me thine spiciest wings of buffalo.
10:42 pm
10:43 pm
authorities are trying to determine why this man attacked four police officers with a hatchet. surveillance video shows zale thompson yielding an ax on a street in queens. he struck one officer in the arm, another in the back of the head. that officer is in critical condition. two other police officers open fired killing thompson and wounding a bystander. witnesses said thompson had been hiding behind a bus shelter as if waiting to attack the officers. a gunman has connections with other jihadists in canada. but john baird said there's no evidence the shooter was linked to any wider network. >> one of the things you're
10:44 pm
grappling with, whether in western europe or the united states or indeed australia is this notion that these waves of radicalized citizens of yours are heading towards syria and those invie rons right now to fight jihad and fight isis. this is really becoming a major problem, is it not? >> it is becoming a major problem for all western countries and canada is not immune from that. >> we've actually had the first canadian criminal conviction. and we're obviously prepared to do more to tack this will phenomenon. that's one of the reasons why we're standing with the united states, with the united kingdom, france and so many other countries to do our part to tackle isil in iraq. >> and this comes as isis unveils a slick new campaign to
10:45 pm
attract fighters from canada. dozens of canadians already taking up arms in syria and iraq, it seems the message unfortunately is working. >> you might think this is a commercial from the tourism board of canada. it's not. it's actually a recruiting video from isis, aimed at convincing extremists to join jihad in syria. >> i originally come from canada. >> h eis the ultimate pitchman for isis. and andre poulin, a canada i don't know convert. listen as he tells the camera in this 11-minute video before he joined isis, he was just a nor h mall canadian teenager. >> i watched hockey, i went to the cottage in the summertime. i loved to fish. i wanted to go hunting. i liked outdoors, i liked sports. >> he was a man that did not
10:46 pm
know death. >> western countries, especially canada to syria because it's only there that you can live properly as a muslim. >> that message is resonating. the canadian government has identified 30 canadians fighting in syria and arack. another 100 fighting in places like yemen and pakistan and afghanistan. the country claims to know the identification of all of those fiegers. already 80 of them have returned home and could pose a potential terrorist threat. why is isis targeting canada? because of its growing problem with radicalization. >> too many young canadian muslims have felt alienated from mainstream society and have looked to radical ideologies for a sense of identity and purpose. there's a purpose for people from these extremist background from canada to go and travel to
10:47 pm
syria and iraq and join this islamic caliphate as they see it. >> and it's not just fighters isis is hoping to regrut. on the video, poulin's pitch goes well beyond that. >> we need engineer, doctors, professionals. we need volunteers, we need fundraising. we need everything, you know? there's a role for everybody. even come here and help rebuild the place. >> or you can come here and die. just like andre poulin. 'hez rushed into battle at a military airport, he was killed by explosives last year. far from canada and the country he once loved. >> a mother in canada is on a mission to stop young men from become pg extremists. her son, a 22-year-old from calgary died in syria fighting for isis. cnn's jonathan mann spoke with
10:48 pm
the mother about what's going through her mind after this week's deadly events. >> it's fretty devastating watching all of this take plas and transpire. all these people that are being hurt. the fear that's being instilled in everyone. and reliving the moment over and over again, making it so visit. in my memory making it difficult to go on. my son was killed in january of 2014. so it's still quite fresh. >> we heard today that the ottawa killer's mother says she's mad at her son. she said she hadn't spoken to him in years. she doesn't understand him. are you mad at your son? >> i am. what it's done to our family, the pain, the hurt, watching his younger brother go through what he goes through every day trying to struggle with this. he's only 10 years old. how do you explain that to him? watching how it tears feel
10:49 pm
apart. wondering every day what is he doing over there? who did he hurt? he's not capable of that, trying to understand in my mind and the guilt, wondering how i failed him. >> what happened to him? i don't think there's any suggestion that you failed him. but what happened to him? how did he become a muslim and an extremist muslim at that? >> we have a multicultural city so the curiosity could be there. i was always open to all religion, all culturcultures. he always had an inquisitive mind. he learned arabic in nine months and started doing research. and he found that it worked for him. it gave him a sense of peace. and it did for three whole year before anything started to change. so the radicalization happened when he met new people he was still trying to find his purpose in life, trying to integrate and
10:50 pm
find a fit, feel like he belonged. and unfortunately, the wrong people crossed his path at that time. >> another story that we continue to follow. police in london have arrested an officer assigned to protect the royal family. authorities say the man had stashed ammunition in his personal locker at buckingham palace. they say it appears to be from the police department's own suppli supplies. they did not name the officer. he is in custody and will be suspended from duty. well, fake classes, easy paper, and a huge cover-up. up next here, a university in the u.s. now says an academic scandal involving top athletes is even bigger than many thought. eeeeeeeeee financial noise financial noise
