>> you wonder how effective it's going to be. >> but they think it's the best bet right now to help the residents there. >> let's talk about what happens when someone contracts the west nile virus. what are the possible outcomes? >> sometimes there can be no symptoms at all. there's an incubation period where they don't have it. we talked to a mother of one 14-year-old who doesn't really fit the mold of somebody who would contract the virus. usually you have people with preexisting health conditions. but this 14-year-old had none of that. her symptoms were vague. she said she had a headache one day and the next day she had a fever and that night ends up in the emergency room. one of the causes wasn't diagnosed properly by the doctors. she talked to us about what a difficult time she's going through with her family.

>> the symptoms play peek a boo with you. so it's with the headaches. she doesn't have headaches. so when she had a complaint of the headache i was very concerned. when it included vomiting, the next day we had a doctor's appointment. but that night, that's when her sedation came in. i took her straight to the emergency room. >> so what jordan contracted less than 1% of those that get the virus get this neurological disorder. it hits the brain functions. so the mother right now is worried about seizures. and the guidance from the doctors is just sort of wait it out. we'll see what happens. she's worried about seizures though and definitely concerned about the safety of her daughter. >> thank you. seven people are in custody over a shootout with deputies in louisiana.

the group for about a week. they had a lot of ammo in their trailer. but authorities never the saw the suspects that are in the process of moving out of state. one of the suspects has a facebook page. tin cluds a photo of smith holding a gun. under the photo he appears to comment, quote, for all you haters, see the snake eye. under political views, he's listed independent citizens. the sheriff says he believes the group is linked to sovereign citizens. sources say it's too early to link the deputy shootings to the sovereign citizens extremist group. smith's son also charged in the case has a facebook page as well. in it he has pictures where he's posing with guns including what appears to be an assault weapon. >> the sovereign citizens

website says it does not endorse violence against police or the government. >> where does the case stand now? >> the investigation is ongoing, but at this point, suspects in the case have been charged with wounding the police officers. remember, two of the four were wounded. murder charges are pending. >> susan candiotti in new york, thanks. to politics now. congressman todd aiken is backing away today from an answer he gave to ktvi television when he asked whether he thought abortion should be legal in the case of rape. he preferenced his answer by mentioning legitimate rape and then said this. >> the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. but let's assume that didn't work or something. i think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be in the rapist and not attacking the child. >> the congressman issued a statement that reads, quote, in

disputed island chain grows. both countries claim the islands and a japanese group landed on one today sparking protests in several cities. japan deported 14 citizens who landed on the islands last week. in syria today, everyone was watching to see if the country's vice president showed up for a national religious service. he did not and that's adding fuel to fast growing speculation that he somehow fled is country and joined the rebels trying to overthrow syria. >> so what we can learn from this, the fact the vice president wasn't there at this important prayer service is that the government's been lying. they've been saying he's at his job, has no intentions to defect, yet now we see if the situation was normal, he would have been there with the president, with the other government officials and he wasn't. it doesn't mean we know where he is, however, what rebels are

telling us is that their commanders have been trying to get him out of the country, have lost communications with him and don't know where the vice president is. he's trying get out of the country to jordan. they say he's been trying get out for the past week. they are concerned they say if his family are captured, he mayt these images appearing at this tiny mosque close to his presidential palace tell us quite a lot. this is a rare appearance by him in the first place. they haven't seen him for a month. normally, he would attend these important prayers at the mosque in the center of damascus. he's chosen to go to a tiny mosque close to the presidential palace. it clearly gives the impression he doesn't want to drive into the center of the capital. he doesn't appear to feel that safe now. and his political world is shrinking. not just his physical world. the vice president's not there. the prime minister sitting there

with him was only appointed a kouchl weeks ago. saturday, he changed the the health minister. the minister for industry and the justice minister and the governor of aleppo. all important positions, so it does appear his support for him is crumbling. there were plenty of anti assad protests. some protests in the city, people chanting against al assad as they would normally do has become typical on fridays. also, waving the shoes in the air to insult the president. it was a statement that created a pr nightmare. how one man took on a massive insurance company and what happened after his opinion went viral. >> you can stay connected, do it on your cell phone or do it from your computer at work. go to cnn.com/tv. that'll be $973.42. ya know, your rates and fees aren't exactly competitive. who do you think i am, quicken loans?

my sister was at fault, which under maryland law would free them. >> out of honor and because katie had student loans that still had to be paid, the family decided to go after the money, but in maryland, it's against the law to sue an insurance company that refuses payment, so the family had to sue the man who killed katie even though they didn't want to, establish negligence and then armed with that decision, force progressive to pay. but in court -- >> progressive, my sister's insurer, sat across the room. they, their lawyer argued for the defendant in the case, argued that he was not negligent in my sister's death. >> so outraged he wrote on his blog, if you are insured by progressive and they owe you money, they will defend your killer in court in order to not pay you your policy and when the chips are down, your money will have bought you nothing. a kick in the face.

after a whirlwind of criticism on facebook and twitter, progressive responded with the same tweet over and over saying in part, we properly handled the claim within our contractual obligations and that in the eyes of some, made matters worse. >> when you respond to a very emotional issue using a mechanical technology like twitter, it doesn't work. it's very difficult to tweet compassion. >> the tweet was taken down. and progressive released a statement saying it did not serve as the attorney for the defendant in the case. he was defended by his insurance company, nationwide. there was a question as to who was at fault and a jury decided in the fisher family's far just last week. we respect the verdict and now can continue to work with the fisher family to reach a resolution. on thursday, the company announced an agreement has been reached with the fisher family to settle the claim.

equal to medicare payments in 2013 and 2014. >> what we'll really going to see we hope is that doctors will be more willing to take these people with coverage and see them in their offices, provide them primary care services, try to keep them healthy rather than expect those people to end up in the emergency room to get care. >> but what happens after 2014? >> we will see whether the federal government, congress would step in and and see if that was a good idea. >> as for dr. bone, he plans to take new medicaid patients next year, but just how many it's impossible to say. come on. do very successful people really feel guilty about it? d.l. hughley says he does. he says it's a bit like survivor's guilt. he'll explain next.
