hello again. i'm errol barnett. with you for the next two hours. coming up right now, new york city grapples with its first case of ebola but officials say there is no reason for alarm. what we know about the patient and where he's been coming up. new surveillance video shows the deadly attack in canada as it unfolded. we're going to walk you through what happened and also bring you new details. also coming up as the world awaits the promised release of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by boko haram. we're now learning of more kidnappings in nigeria. we'll get you live this hour to the country's capital. but first we want to begin in new york where officials say they're fully prepared for the city's first confirmed case of ebola. the patient is dr. craig spencer. you see him here.

he recently returned from treating other ebola patients in west africa. he developed a high fever and other ebola-like symptoms thursday morning and immediately contacted authorities. especial a specially trained response team has the video of this happening rushing him to bellevue hospital in manhattan where at this hour he is in isolation. the centers for disease control and prevention sent its own team to new york to help trace the doctor's movements. now, dr. spencer used the subway and visiting a bowling alley over the weekend but new york's mayor is telling residents to the to worry and explains why in a news conference thursday night. >> we want to state at the outset it is extremely hard to contact and not through casual contact.

new yorkers who have not been ex-moded to bodily fluids are not in danger. the leading experts and the most advanced medical equipment we have. we have been preparing for months and clear and strong protocols being scrupulously followed and were followed in this instance and bellevue hospital is specially designed for isolation, identification and treatment of ebola patients. every hospital in the city is prepared in the event other patients come forward. >> mayor de blasio carefully walking through the reasons why residents have no reason for alarm and dr. spencer's apartment has been sealed off and his fiancee and two close friends are under quarantine. miguel marquez is outside that apartment where crowds began to

form overnight. >> reporter: this is the apartment of dr. craig spencer. his apartment is now sealed off. no one going in or out of it until health officials can get into it at some point. health officials also blanketing the neighborhood throughout the day for two reason, one to inform neighbors exactly how it is that one contracts ebola both in english and in spanish, the other getting information from anyone who may have been in contact with him over the last several days to figure out whether they'll have to be in contact with them now that there is a positive result. throughout much of the day people were almost laughing off the fact that ebola might have come to new york but once that positive result came back, things changed around the neighborhood and people took pictures and expressing shock and people who live in the building now saying they're thinking more heavily about what it is they have to do in order to stay safe and make sure that

the disease veries no further. miguel marquez, cnn, new york. >> i spoke to dr. devi nampiaparampil an assistant professor at new york university school of medicine and asked her a question on so many people's minds right now. was anyone who encountered dr. spencer in any danger before he showed symptoms. >> when someone has no simms they pretty much don't have the virus really circulating in their bodily fluids but once they start getting symptoms, those are usually proportionally to how much the virus is taking ahold of your body so it's not like a fine line but at the same time if you didn't have any real symptoms in terms of the fever which is usually the first symptom the risk of having ebola are -- or spreading ebola is very low in terms of spreading it to other people. once he started having symptoms like the fever the risk goes up quite a bit so this case, it is concerning that this person was in public places but at that

time he didn't have they symptoms and once he had symptoms he was immediately taken to bellevue. >> we should note that by all accounts dr. spencer was self-monitori self-monitoring, medecins sans frontieres said he's been following protocol and no reason at this moment to believe that there's any reason to worry, however, considering that naturally there's the science and social aspect of this. >> >> the science comes forward and says don't worried but we're seeing his place will be cleaned. the bowling alley is going to be sanitized. you know, the uber taxi that he took didn't need that level of cleaning because there was no direct contact, however, to avoid panic, we're not sure what's going to happen when some of the tabloids post this on their front pages in new york, should the cdc be more strict? should there be a mandatory 21-day quarantine for these medics returning from west

africa to if not anything else not add fuel to the fear. >> the first thing is i think we need to have a plan and some consistency, so if we say that a person has to have a mandatory 21-day quarantine, that would work but there are some risks to that, as well. so, you know, if we have that being mandatory a lot of these folks may not go to west africa to provide humanitarian aid because that 21-day quarantine period is going to keep them out of work, it's going to keep them from seeing their friends and family and also going to keep them from, you know, potentially in a place like new york city ordering food or getting their laundry done or anything done so that might restrict humanitarian and relief workers. so that's one thing to keep in mind. on the other hand i think there was a lot of confusion because dr. spencer was checking his temperature twice a day, so he was trying to follow guidelines but at the same time being in these public places now, we can say it's low risk but there's the public perception, what is going on? this is not a real quarantine. >> dr. devi nampiaparampil there

speaking to me just a short time ago. now, west africa is the e epicenter of the still expanding ebola outbreak, 10,000 deaths attributed to the disease an a 2-year-old has become mali's first confirmed patient. she was taken to mali from guinea after her father's death. the ebola outbreak began right there in guinea, they believe. other big developments for you. authorities in new york are trying to determine why a man attacked four police officers with a hatchet. surveillance video, we can show it to you now shows zale thompson wielding an ax on a street in queens and struck one officer in the arm. you see him creeping up there and another officer in the back of the head. absolutely gruesome. the second officer at this hour is in critical but stable condition. the two other officers opened fire killing thompson, wounded a female bystander.

he had been hiding behind a bus shelter as if he was waiting to assault them. authorities are still trying to determine if thursday's attack is linked to terror. >> there's nothing we know as of this time that would indicate that we're -- that were the case, i think certainly the heightened concerns relative to that type of assault based on what's just happened in canada in recent events in israel certainly one of the things that first comes to mind but that's what the investigation will attempt to determine. >> authorities investigating thursday's ax attack said the criminal -- suspect had a criminal record in california. the suspected gunman in wednesday's shooting rampage had ties to online jihadists in canada and they're piecing together what happened in the parliament attack. jim sciutto has more. >> reporter: newly released surveillance video shows the deadly attack on parliament hill

as it happened. suspected shooter michael zehaf-bibeau is seen here running from a car after he shot and killed nathan cirillo at the war memorial. bystanders looks and fleeing in fear. as he approaches the parliament building he hijacks a members car, the driver seen running away. another camera catches him with police in close pursue. >> the vehicle on site chase the suspect to the entrance center block and entered it seconds before the officers that were chasing him were able to reach the door. >> no, no, no. >> i would like to acknowledge the response of rcmp members and the ottawa police officers who rushed into a dangerous and volatile situation. >> reporter: now, investigators are learning new details of what motivated the attack.

zehaf-bibeau said he engaged in known islamists include iing ha bull la yousafzai charged in july he is still at large. >> we have information that suggests an association with some individuals who may have shared his radical views. >> reporter: u.s. authorities are now investigating if zehaf-bibeau had any communication with suspected extremists in the u.s. in a second attack by car monday the u.s. was on alert for lone wolf attacks by islamic extre extremi extremists. it is difficult to spot. they do not enter the count from abroad where they could be caught at immigration and do not need to communicate with operational leaders like e-mail or telephones. this makes it much harder for

intelligence gathering agencies such as the nsa to attract them. the former director of the national counterterrorism center told us u.s. authorities are watching both the southern and northern borders. >> did you ever see any -- anything that worried you about who is trying to come across borders either mexico or canada. >> always concerned about our two lapd borders and worked closely with mexico and canada, but never anything i saw that suggested isis had an effort to infiltrate. >> our jim sciutto reporting there and police say zehaf-bibeau's mother said he wanted to go to syria, another man who stayed in a homeless shelter with zehaf-bibeau said he told him he wanted to go to libya. meantime, canadian lawmakers didn't skip a beat back on the job and were led into the parliament by sergeant-at-arms kevin vickers who shot the gunman.

seeing the scene there as vickers got a lengthy and well deserved standing ovation as he led the procession into the house of commons. didn't seem to show much emotion but he did release a statement thanking the security team there at the parliament. video from wednesday shows the vickers carrying his gun just moments after he shot and killed michael zehaf-bibeau. now, remember that cease-fire announced last week between nigeria and boko haram. well, it's open to debate if it even began and the terror group is accused of more atrocities. more on the latest in nigeria after this short break. stay with us.

yousafzai. malala yousafzai.

welcome back. despite a so-called visa fire

boko haram appears to have kidnapped another 60 young women and girls. residents in northeastern nigeria tell cnn this took place on saturday. they say heavily armed fighters left cola nuts and the equivalent of 9 u.s. dollar as a bride price for each of the females taken. 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped near there back in april. the nigerian government said it reached an agreement made in chad but boko haram never responded to that announcement. so these latest abductions raise serious questions about any agreement with boko haram even though the nigerian government says the talks are continuing. we're going to bring in our isa sesay joining us from abuja. the nigerian government will increasingly face credibility issues with nigerians if it

doesn't explain what's going on. where the so-called cease-fire came from. why essentially it never began and how in the world it's possible for more than 60 more women and girls to be abducted. what are they telling us and how does it jive with events on the ground? >> reporter: hi there, errol. i think it's important to start with saying i've been on the ground in nigeria for a couple of days and in speaking with senior government officials it wasn't a done deal. and an agreement to release the girls. talks were under way in chad. to flash out details and finalize an agreement to bring an end to the insurgency and for people around the world and for the relatives of those missing girls see their release. the deal in and of itself was not a done deal. the events that played out on the ground here in nigeria in the northeastern part of the country over the last couple of

days are most definitely casting a shadow over any kind of talks underway in chad. it is worth pointing out there is not consensus here on the ground as to who was responsible for those attacks. local residents speaking to local journalists that cnn has been in touch with they believe it was the work of boko haram and the abduction of 60 girls can be laid at their doorstep. those in the country suggest this is the work of nonstate arcs looking to destabilize any talks and any efforts to achieve peace ahead of upcoming elections here in nigeria. cnn, of course, cannot independently verify either claim. what we can say is that we are told that 60 women and girls have been taken from their homes, meanwhile, nigerian government officials asked what is going on, how is it these women and girls have been taken, more women and girls having their lives disrupted, we get the answer that the talks are

still under way. the talks are on track and that they believe there is sufficient good will on the part of boko haram to ensure that the girls, the 219 girls taken into april are eventually released. it is all very complicated. it is all very, very murky but suffice to say for those residents on the ground this those affected areas, this is their reality and a very frightening one at that. errol. >> yeah, absolutely and that raises the question why would a government official announce talks are even under way when that in essence general dijeopa outcommitment for the people in on the ground in those villages being terrorized by boko haram or other militants where do they go from here? what can they possibly do? >> reporter: you know, errol, it's a good question and it's a question that, you know has been on the minds of many for a long time now. it's important to note that the

insurgency in northern nigeria has been going on for many years now. and it's also worth putting in context while the world was outraged by the abduction of 219 girls which it should be, which it should continue to be there have been long-running abductions taking place in that part of the country, in other words, sadly, this kind of instability has become the fact of life, the normalcy for thousands of people, so what they do now, what they do next they do what invest been doing. they live with that fear. they live with the untemperature of what will happen next. whether they will really be safe in their own homes and beds when they go to bed at night. it is a very frightening reality. errol. >> indeed, irisha sesay there underscoring the reality for many living in the rural areas life is a daily frightening

experience not knowing when more might come doing what they're doing in parts of nigeria for some time, isha, thanks for joining us. still to come on cnn, the u.s. state department is urging calm in jerusalem after a motorist rams a baby carriage killing the infant inside. why an officer attacked to protect britain's royal family wound up under arrest. details on that after this.

welcome back. israeli authorities stepped up security measures after a palestinian man rammed his car into a group of pedestrians killing an american baby. the commuters were discuss waiting at a transit stop.

the driver of the vehicle was shot as he tried to run off and reportedly died at hospital. cnn's erin mclaughlin has more. >> reporter: surveillance footage of a baby's last moments. a driver speeds along one of jerusalem's main streets and swerves towards a tram. >> dove right into the crowd and he crash into the carriage and the baby flew up in the air three months old baby a pure soul that didn't do any bad to anybody. >> the baby, an american citizen, didn't survive. several others were wounded. now the baby's family struggles to make sense of what israeli officials say was a terrorist attack. >> my granddaughter, very sweet girl and that's why her name was that, sweet. >> reporter: the driver later identified runs from the scene.

police gun him down. he later dice of his wounds in an israeli hospital. >> we are just refusing this idea about that he just went and did that victim art he is from silwan where life is tense under normal circumstances. this was the scene wednesday night. shortly after the baby died and according to his cousin some members of his family arrested. >> according to israeli authorities they say there's in jerusalem a quiet end fad da. >> reporter: the mayor announced increased security which means more police officers on the streets and more surveillance balloons in the sky. >> we're going through a peak of violence due to the unfortunate terrible killing of the three

jewish boys and arab boy and we cannot let the radicals dictate where we're going. >> reporter: after summer of hoss titles between the two, fear and anger continue on the streets of jerusalem. erin mclaughlin, cnn, jerusalem. now to some other stories we're following for you. a man assigned to protect the royal household in london is under arrest. they say the officer stashed ammunition in his locker inside buckingham palace. so what's going on here? max foster has some answers. >> reporter: the royal protection officer was arrested after they found ammunition in his personal locker. breaking all protocols. not just within the palace but also within the police. he's been suspended from duty. he's being questioned on suspicion of misconduct in public office and unlawful possession of ammunition. it's believed according to the police this ammunition did belong to the metropolitan police and it all follows a

review of protection command. the command within the police that deals with raw protection and diplomatic protection. and they revealed a few pockets of poor behavior which would not be tolerated according to the metropolitan police. the royal household as i understand it has been informed. there isn't believed to be any threat to any member of the royal family either. so this is a result of that review of protection command. max foster, cnn, london. >> and what we have our focus in london this headline. three public appearances in three days for the duchess of cambridge there. you see her stepping out thursday evening in london in support of the charity organization action on addiction. earlier this week the royal couple confirmed they are expecting baby number two in april. right around their fourth wedding anniversary. now new york city has its first case of ebola coming up

next. why one doctor says not every major hospital in the u.s. can afford to be prepared. plus, authorities are calling the man who shot and killed a canadian soldier a lone wolf. why they say the attacks like this are so hard to predict. stay with us.

well, you're watching here in the u.s. or elsewhere in the world, we appreciate you staying with us on cnn. i'm errol barnett. here's our headlines right now. a doctor in new york has tested positive for ebola, but health officials say the likelihood he spread the virus is very low. dr. craig spencer returned from guinea where he was treating ebola patients. he is in isolation at bellevue hospital. spencer's fiancee and two friends are under quarantine but showing no signs of the disease. officials are vying to determine why a man attacked four new york police officers

with a hatchet. witnesses say he shot one officer in the arm and another in the back of the head. police fatally shot thompson at the scene. one officer in critical condition. canadian authorities released this video showing people fleeing in panic as a man with rifle runs towards parliament. sources tell cnn the gunman michael zehaf-bibeau, had online connects with jihadists and wanted to go to syria. >> more on the fight against ebola. dr. craig spencer had been back in new york city six days before he developed a high fever. contacted authorities rushed to the hospital and tested positive for ebola. in the days before that he visited a bowling alley and used the subway and a uber tax ki. new york officials are taking pains to reassure the public they are not in danger of

contracting the virus. listen to this. >> i know it's a frightening situation. i know when you watch it on the news and it was about dallas, it was frightening. that it's here in new york, it's more frightening. new york is a dense place. a lot of people on top of each other but the more facts you know, the less frightening the situation is. we already acted very, very quickly and identified about four of the people who we believe -- we believe there are four people who he came in contact with during the relevant period and we are already in contact with all four people. >> now, we've got some video here as police did isolate spencer's apartment. health workers have gone door to door, in fact, in the neighborhood to distribute information on the disease to his neighbors. just last hour natalie allen

spoke with gavin macgregor-skinner about what should be done next. >> we're seeing a commonsense approach to this and starting to regionalize our response. initially the cdc director said that every hospital in the country was going to be prepared for ebola. we know based on money, resource, that's not possible. we know based on the personal protective equipment we wear, the gowns and masks and glovers and facials, yeah, there's a limited supply of those. it's important we identify the few hospitals in each tate that can be properly prepared. now, we've just heard from bellevue hospital and from new york that they have been drilling, drilling, practicing, rehearsing and getting prepared now for weeks. many of the hospitals in the country don't have the money or resources do do that. we need to come up with a national training program and commune plan and strategy to go out and do on-site visits and help them be prepared and insure

everyone else knows if they get a suspect patient they triage, isolate and call for help and transport them to the ebola certified ready hospitals that we identified throughout the country. >> right, there respect that many of them. i want to point that out too. the that's the hospital situation. what about the time up until the patient gets to the hospital which we've been discussing this evening with this doctor and are we in some way running right up to the very end it seems when the symptoms kick in that this person is out and about and mixing with people. >> i think it's really important to consider i have a lot of friends in and colleaguing in west africa and i've been there working with ebola patients. the work we do is really intense, stressful. we're scared every day but we have this adrenaline inside us know to keep working but we're

very well trained and work under a very strict management and supervision system to make sure we don't make mistakes. there's many more of my colleagues over there still working and have not contracted it. weigh want to be here for thanksgiving and christmas and recharged the batteries we want to go back to west africa again. we have a team in bellevue hospital in new york. none of us that work have direct contact and save ebola patients every day want to hear that the story we have to be in quarantine. we want to control our movement and take our temperatures but we don't want to be stuck in quarantine for 21 days. that's not what we need. >> there's the latest out of the states. meantime, over in west africa sierra leone specifically has more than 3700 ebola cases and nearly 13 other deaths and have many asked if the president was just too slow to respond to the

outbreak and we talked to the president who said his administration acted appropriately. >> 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 important, four cases arrived. most days see more than 10 people turning up with ebola symptoms. they're forced to wait in a tent outside the main hospital in freetown. the isolation inside is completely fall. in a rare interview sierra leone's president defended his government's response. it took you five weeks to speak after the outbreak. ten weeks to visit the e epicenter. 15 weeks to declare an emergency. do you accept your personal reaction as slow? >> the ebola outbreak was announced in may and it was new to all of us. we were not alone in the fight.

we also had w.h.o. who had a principle advising us on what to do and every step of the way we have had consultations with them and i believe that we have reacting appropriately. >> they have launched an internal investigation into its botched initial reaction but the man recently appointed to supercharge the u.n.'s ebola 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. you know, the crisis got way out in front of the international community but now we are throwing everything we have at it. >> reporter: the president recently 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'll be in a

position of containing the ebola virus. >> reporter: but for those waiting outside freetown's hospital, that will be too late. dan rivers, itv news, freetown. >> now to new information out of north korea, the country is apparently closing its doors to tourists over fears of ebola. that ban begins today according to one tour operator officials haven't said how long the ban will last or whether it will include business leaders and diplomats. approximately 6,000 western tourists visit north korea each year. there are no confirmed cases of the ebola virus there at the moment. new video of the attack on comma canada's parliament. and why the mexican mayor and his wife are on the run.

sources are telling cnn a beganman who shot up the parliament in ottawa had links to islamist extremists. michael zehaf-bibeau converted years ago but recently became radicalized and tom martforeman more.

>> reporter: he attacks a target he has privately chosen, a lone wolf. >> this is something the president talked about before this incident in canada. it's something he talked about before we saw the emergence of isil as a significant threat to the united states. >> reporter: the massive security and surveillance surge after 9/11 made it harder for groups like al qaeda to pull off large assaults involving many foreign players. and this is what has risen in the wake. smaller attacks by terrorists who live in the countries they target inspired by jihadi websites and sometimes train during brief trips to extremist camps and act alone or in very small groups and officials say the boston marathon bombings are a good example but so are many others.

in 2009 an attack at ft. hood in texas leaves 13 people dead. and in arkansas a soldier is shot dead at a recruiting station. in 2012 three soldiers and four civilians including children are slaughtered in france. in 2013, a british soldier butchered on the streets of london. this year three people are gunned down at a jewish museum in belgium. a woman is beheaded at her job in oklahoma and just before the ottawa attack, two canadian soldiers are hit with a car, one dies. in each case, security analysts say the attacks appear tied to radical islam often to recent converts. they are also very hard for intelligence services to track. >> i'm one of the reasons is the sort of natural zealousness that converts have but also the lack of understanding early on in the convert's life for their religion. isis, that's a distoshs of

islam. and so people who have grown up with the faith can see that. more easily than people who have just converted to the religion can see that. >> reporter: a lot of these so-called terrorists have a good deal in common with school shooters or other mass murderers but by attaching itself to the jihadi movement they become murders with a mission spreading fear in the process. tom foreman, cnn, washington. so what is happening in the fight against isis? well, the u.s.-led coalition is keeping up its bombing campaign on isis in northern area but not enough to stop the militants' week-long onslaught of kobani. intense battles erupted on the outskirt s as they try to crush the defenders. they surrounded kobani on three sided. an interesting angle.

three american teenage girls who skipped school in hopes of joining isis fighters are now back home after being stopped in germany. officials say the girls who live in the u.s. state of colorado had flown to frankfurt international airport where they were apprehended after the fbi flagged their passports. why they were questioned, the girls said they stole $2,000 from their parents and hoped to make it to syria to join the extremists fighting there. after interviewing the girls and their families, the teen also not face any charges. mexican mayor and his wife accused in the disappearance of dozens of students who were protesting against the government. this incident is so explosive the governor just resigned. senior latin affairs editor rafael romo picks it up from there. >> reporter: the white van was left in the middle of the road with its windows blown out and doors wide open.

mexic mexican authorities said its occupants were shot at. 43 student wrts a rural teacher's college were kidnapped in guerrero in late september. according to shorts they were on their way to protest the local government in the city of iguala. almost a month layer they're still missing. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: the mexican attorney general announced an arrest has been warranted against jose luis abarca and his wife. they vanished right after the students disappeared and are believed to be on the run. the local government anticipate police, the attorney general said, had been infiltrated by a criminal gang. the police who allegedly took the students handed them over to the gang. 53 people including 36 officers and 17 suspected gang members have been detained. no one was available for comment

at the iguala police department. the army has taken over the department and assumed all responsibilities. where are the students? nearly 30 bodies were found in mass drives in the state of ga zero but denis mcdonough tests show there were no missing students among those. mexico was shocked by the revelation of a roman catholic priest who works with migrants and says the students are already dead. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> the father said the students were shot and burped to death. their bodies tossed in mass graves. he also said some of the victims were still alive when they were set on fire. he didn't name his sources but he has privately given information to the attorney's team in charge of the case. there have been protests in acapulco and elsewhere in mexico to demoond answers about their

whereabouts. >> i demapped justice. >> reporter: online international students are also demanding answers and answers for the families of the missing students can't come soon enough. rafael romo, cnn. all right still to come for you on cnn for those those who don't believe in karma we have a story for you. a brazen bus thief attempts to snatch a purse and run. but this bus driver has other ideas. the video you have to see after the short break. narrator: these are the tennis shoes skater kid: whoa narrator: that got torture tested by teenagers and cried out for help. from the surprised designers. who came to the rescue with a brilliant fix male designer: i love it narrator: which created thousands of new customers for the tennis shoes that got torture tested by teenagers. the internet of everything is changing manufacturing. is your network ready?

eclipse will be in three years. storms batter the northeastern u.s. and heavy snow in starts of europe and karen maginnis joins us with more. karen, i haven't seen you all evening because of the breaks stories but good to see you just in time i think to give us bad news about the weather. >> yes, we have some pretty good storms that are battering the northeastern united states. the first big nor'easter is referred to a one for several reasons. they trek right along the northeastern coast but also that left quadrant floats that moisture back onshore so as a result the rainfall accumulations can be anythi significant. this one will exit slowly but there's going to be another weather system that sweep as cross the eastern provinces of canada. take a look at what happened across massachusetts. there you can see a boat along the coastline lying there being battered by winds gusting up to

around 70 kilometers per hour, maybe occasionally gustier in isolated areas. here's what's happening as we look at this radar imagery. that area of low pressure beginning to exit. as i mentioned not finished wit. there is another way that's moving across southeastern canada and this will brush by the canadian maritimes and in its wake it is going to produce gusty winds and heavy surf and some pretty good downpours. what about those? we see in beverly, massachusetts, 153 millimeters of rainfall. the winds are still going to be a little gusty on the back side of this we'll start to see gusty winds in through the great lakes region. remember this area of low pressure across europe. yeah, this used to be a hurricane. it was formed across the tropical atlantic, moved across bermuda, affected the united kingdom and central europe and

now into southeastern european and places like kiev, so ffia, u will see single digits barely above freezing then into the arabian sea watching the potential for tropical development. could affect amman and sections of pakistan going into the next five to seven days. >> your radar working overtime there, karen, thanks very much. you could call this a case of instant carmen. a would-be purse snatcher fines he's no match for a bus driver. >> reporter: this is the story of a chilean bus driver who ended up at bat in his bus. he came to a stop, opened the door for passengers as the norah jones sunrise played. keep an eye on the two dguys at
