of the ninth. boston gets the out. boston gets alan craig out at home plate. he's called safe because tum pyre at third base calls obstruction on will middlebrooks. st. louis is awarded the game winning run and pandominium ensues. the rule states whether you intend or not you cannot impede with the base runner as roger. st. louis wins 5-4 in one of strangest plays you'll ever see. first world series ever 0 to be decided on an obstruction call. >> he's on the ground. if he tries to raise up then he's clearly getting in his way. for craig to advance to home plate. but he got tangled up with him and that was the call. >> now again, the rule states that intent has absolutely
11:03 am
nothing to do with obstruction. jim joyce explains it this way. >> the base runner has every right to go unobstructed to home plate and, unfortunately, for middlebrooks he was right there and there was contact and so he could not advance to home plate naturally. >> now the entire umpiring crew which each of them have more than 25 years experience all agree the call made on field was the right call. so now st. louis leads the series two games to one. game four is tonight. >> okay. it's going to be a nail-biter indeed. a side note, this isn't umpire jim joyce's first brush. in 2010 he blew a call when pitcher armando was just one out from a perfect game. afterward he was rather understanding about it. he said quote, nobody is perfect. rolling stone magazine is

reporting rocknroll icon lou reed has died. his influence as a song writer and guitarist first with the velvet underground and then later as a solo artist spanned 50 years. he was probably best known for his song "take a walk on the wild side." reed leaves his companion and fellow musician behind lauri anderson. he was 71 years old. singer chris brown has landed in hot water again. he was arrested early this morning outside of a hotel in washington, d.c. after police say he and his body guard got into a fight with another person. nick is following this story. what have you been hearing from police? >> we're trying to figure out the details of this altercation. chris brown was in washington, d.c. for a homecoming party at howard university. at some point in the middle of the night at 4:30 this morning his body guard and him were involved in an alteration. that victim was hospitalized
11:05 am
immediately. this could spell big trouble for chris brown. he's already on probation from 2009. we remember that incident with his then girlfriend rihanna. any arrest could land him in jail for another four years. >> what's next? is he still in jail, is he still in cuss zmi >> he's being held right now at a local prison, local jail in washington, d.c. area. but we don't know. he has a probation hearing for november 20th that was already set up prior to this incident. he was supposed to complete 1400 hours of community service, on probation for five years. his probation reports have been glowing up until now. earlier this year he was said to be involved in a hit-and-run accidents where he was involved in a fender bender and took off and accused of not completing his community service which he was sentenced to in 2009. this could turn out to be a bigger mess than this altercation. >> we'll talk about this case later on. thanks for that. then nick we have a follow up on

a story you were following yesterday this involving the barney's department store and jay-z being wrapped up into it. now a comment coming from jay-z speaking out on a lawsuit against that lauxry store. fans have been asking him to end his contract with barney's new york after two african-american students claim that they were racially profiled. a statement on jay-z's website reads this, i'm against discrimination of any kind but if i make snap judgments no matter who it's towards, aren't i committing the same sin as someone who profiles? i am no stranger to being profiled and i truly empathize with anyone who is put forward in that position. hopefully this brings forth a dialogue. a carnival ride crash sends five people to the hospital and now charges are filed. miguel looks what happened. >> reporter: investigators say
11:07 am

11:08 am
possible. the investigation is ongoing. . >> it makes me mad to think that anybody would put people's safety in danger like they have and i'm not mad i'm furious. >> three of the five people injured thursday night are still in a raleigh hospital this morning. >> thanks so much. germany has some pretty sharp words for the u.s. today about claims the nsa monitored chancellor angela merkel's cell phone. the interior minister told a newspaper that if the u.s. intercepted cell phones in germany that breaks german law. and he said confidence in the u.s. is shaken. we have more on the impact these claims are having. >> reporter: both germany and france are so outraged that they are now demanding u.s. sit down for talks by the end of the year. german chancellor angela merkel was particularly upset that reports her own mobile phone was tapped. she wasn't the only one who may have had her phone bug.
11:09 am
document leaked by edward snowden to the british newspaper the guardian states the government was following 200 politicians and at least 35 world leaders. interestingly that document also conceded not much useful intelligence had been gathered by monitoring those phones. >> thanks so much. fall out from the nsa's spying controversy is, indeed, intensifying. a new report claims surveillance of angela merkel was much broader than previously believed. we'll have details on that plus a former cia operative weighs in on the growing diplomatic rift between the u.s. and germany. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you'll experience reliable uptime for the network and services you depend on. multi-layered security solutions keep your information safe, and secure. and responsive dedicated support meets your needs, and eases your mind.

phone it broke german law. that comes a day after a german magazine reported monitoring goes back more than ten years. chief national security correspondent has more on the fallout. >> reporter: germany sending a delegation to the u.s. to discuss nsa surveillance, in effect work out some ground rules for what's acceptable and not. this comes as the white house in public acknowledging in effect overreach in the surveillance programs and how far it was allowed to go. the administration in damage control, the president's homeland security adviser writing in "usa today" that the white house will review nsa surveillance quote to ensure we're collecting information because we need it and not just because we can. u.s. officials confirm some damage has already been done. >> it's created a significant challenge in our relationships with some of our partners. >> reporter: the white house will not confirm, however, if the nsa did in the past monitor
11:14 am
the calls of world leaders, including german chancellor angela merkel. >> all i can tell you is what the president told the chancellor, united states is not monitoring or monitor communications of the chancellor. >> reporter: that answer is not satisfying for european allies. >> translator: we have an ongoing dialogue with the americans. >> translator: but obviously words would not be sufficient. >> reporter: the u.s. is warning other countries not allied with u.s. documents by edward snowden detail their secret intel cooperation with the u.s. in operations targeting china, russia and iran. >> i think outing these
11:15 am
countries would then put their relations with iran in jeopardy and also could make them open to some form of iranian intelligence or other retaliation. >> reporter: for some of these countries the public revelation of cooperation with the u.s. on secret intelligence could be very damaging. and after the wikileaks cables were released this had far reaching effects some foreign leaders diplomats not willing to talk with their american counterparts worried those conversations would be made public. these revelations can cause even more damage in those relationships and that's a major worry for u.s. intelligence services for the administration going forward. fred? >> thanks so much. so germany is sending a high-profile team to washington to meet with u.s. officials on these claims at some point. that team will include germany's foreign and domestic intelligence services. i'm joined by cnn national security analyst bob behr.
11:16 am
good to see you. we heard strong words from germany today calling possible wiretapping unacceptable and german laws may have been broken. no surprise that countries do spy on one another but i guess what the conversation will be now between germany and washington is how do you trust one another from this point forward, right? >> you're absolutely right. here's the problem. it's more secrets out of washington. this is truly a fiasco. you know, what more has snowden put out there? the germans are wiretapping because we share with them and it's not a surprise to them. but what more is to come, that's the question on their mind. >> do you feel like the u.s. is in a position where as a result of these documents, this intel that has been dumped by edward
11:17 am
snowden, that perhaps the u.s. needs to preemptively start reaching out to some of these countries to warn them this is the information that was in these documents and we apologize but now it's public, can we mend fences still? >> i think it's exactly what we're doing. you've seen washington go out to countries bordering iran and china and telling them that you people are hosting platforms against china and iran. these may come out in the snowden documents. we're sorry. we'll do the best we can. truly, this is the worst damage to u.s. intelligence i've seen 30 or 40 years and we're going to see people backing off from washington. and frankly we have to get to the bottom of this. what went wrong at the national security agency. too much information was shared and at the end of the day it will cost lives. >> up heard in jim's piece there's a question of whether this will jeopardize intel
11:18 am
gathering. in your view will it? >> oh, absolutely. look if you're the british or french or anybody else and you have some top secret program, you're going to have second thoughts before you share it with washington. i just know the mentality. i've seen it. that's exactly what's happening now. >> bob baer thanks so much for joining us from colorado. we appreciate it. smoke fills the bus, filled with children on a busy tennessee highway. we'll talk to two passengers who managed to escape just moments before flames ripped right through that bus. that's coming up right after this.

11:23 am
something is wrong on this bus? >> well, when they pulled us over, i realized -- i didn't think it was that big of an issue but once they started telling us to get off the bus i saw that it was something pretty big, and we could see the smoke, so i knew it was a problem then. >> so how quickly did this bus simply get engulfed, you know, between time you and others got off the bus? >> i would say that we got off the bus from that second it started getting bigger and bigger. i think it was all in flames in about 15 to 20 minutes. >> i understand the bus driver was actually trying to put out the flames. what did you see? >> he really was. and there were a budge of truck drivers stopped to give us our fire extinguisher. our bus driver along with them tried to put it out but it didn't work. >> chris, we have some images.
11:24 am
i understood you took pictures of the bus after, i guess, the flames went out. explain to me what you saw and, you know, this is pretty remarkable to see the shell of that bus. >> yeah. it happened pretty quickly. i was it is large right behind the bus driver and there were some drivers, passengers on the side in the car and they basically were pushing us to slow down. one jeep got in front of us, started slowing down dramatically and pointing to the back of the bus, and we -- the bus driver and i got off. we looked and there was a lot of smoke back there and we tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher. but it wasn't working. we removed freverybody from the bus as quickly and safely as we could. we had a lot of really awesome
11:25 am
truckers and just bystanders help us out, already it was fire extinguishers or standing in the cold waiting for emergency personnel, it was great to see that. >> so people really came together. so, diala, i under there was a lot of relief among many of the students once they saw people were coming together, truckers were stopping and helping out and that kind of really, i guess, eased the pain that there were a lot of students who were very upset that all of their things were being burned. they were thinking about their things before they were thinking about their lives. describe for me what people were worried about. >> well, at first everybody -- we thought we were going get right back on the bus, and once it started getting bigger and we heard the tires start popping that's when it like really clicked in our heads, you know -- you know our stuff was on the bus. if we kept driving we could have
11:26 am
been on that bus. so there was an immense amount of relief there. and i think something really great we pulled out of this experience is that everybody is willing to lend a hand and that just really, you know, it makes you feel really good inside knowing that people care about everybody else. >> we're so happy that it ended with no one being hurt. thank you both and all the best. >> thank you. >> thank you. we'll talk about a rising star in car racing. a winning big on the track and at the same time making history. we'll talk to nascar driver darryl wallace jr. right after this. all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days.

wednesday. heart anticipate human services secretary kathleen sebelius is expected to testify before the house energy committee about the rocky rollout. her appearance will have another opportunity to slam the program that many wanted to pull the plug on all together. cnn's candy crowley is with us with the "state of the union". the administration says everything will be fixed by the end of november but not expected to soften the grilling of kathleen sebelius approximately will the white house keep her on board ultimately? >> i don't think her testimony will unless it's a complete failure. this is a president who tends not want to do things like fire employees while he's being pressured to do so. if you want happened down the line it wouldn't surprise me but i think the more he's pressed by republicans the less likely he is so do it.
11:43 am
the other thing is that this cost, you know, what almost half a billion, a little over half a billion dollars to set up and i want doesn't work. what you're seeing here is sort of two track administration approach to this. kathleen sebelius, the hhs secretary left to kind of go yeah this was messed up, here's what we're going to do to fix it and the president says wait until you get this. it's a great plan, it will work just as well. he wants to get on to the meat of the program and she's going to do the process stuff which has been a disaster for them. >> the other big issue haunting this administration, the international anger by world leaders about the u.s. eavesdropping on their phone calls. the german chancellor angela merkel and others you spoke to mike rogers on your show today and it sounds like he's defending the spying on the phone calls. >> couple of republicans on sunday morning defended the president and said quit
11:44 am
apologizing. this post-9/11 era you'll find in general the republicans do support the president when it comes to things like drone strikes, things like is espionage either here or abroad. this is what rogers had to say. >> how damaging is it for the german chancellor or french president to know we've been keyed into their phone calls? >> well, i think the bigger news story here would be, candy, if the united states intelligence services weren't trying to collect information that would protect u.s. interests both home and abroad. >> all right. so what happens now? would there potentially be hearings or will the white house just meet with intelligence officials from the other countries and talk it over and then smooth things out? >> i think probably closer to the latter than the former. for the most part, i think what you're seeing is an administration going oh, with its friends both republican and democratic, same old same old.
11:45 am
we all know we spy on each other. europe is not acting like that. they are acting like this is something over the top. i suspect you'll see some kind of mutual agreement like the u.s. has with the british like no spying on each other. let's see if that comes to past. in terms of an outraged congress you're not going see it. >> candy crowley, host of "state of the union". thanks so much. we got more politics coming your way in the 4:00 eastern hour joining us will be two veteran party chairs, howard dean for the democrats and for the republicans jim mickelson. we'll be right back. ido more with less with buless energy.
