10:25 pm
with them, it's a reflection that the training never happened. >> there are growing calls for an independent investigation into the tlif's department. earlier this week, they boldly -- >> we're not scared to prosecute our own. there's nobody in this culture that could be more tougher on cops than their own. you know that old analogy that you'll eat your young? that's the same thing in law enforcement. if we have a dirty cop in our ranks, we will disclose them much quicker than our own. the u.s. sports network, espn, has suspended one of its reporters for a week after she was caught on camera berating a towing company employee. in the surveillance video, brit mchenry criticizes the clerk's job, lack of education and even her teeth.

good country because in our country, we can't say we want to go back home because it's -- even day-to-day, they're killing people. and now i say south africa is a -- country because they're killing us for no reason. >> now the violence is begin to go spread to johannesburg. we find dozens of mozambique nationals gathered at a local police station seeking protection. in january, sew malley, ethiopian and pakistani shops were targeted and two teenagers died. now, people aren't taking any chances. >> johannesburg is a province away from where most of the violence has been going on. this south african owned shop is still up and running, but the somali shop up there is boarded up and the police are on stand by because everybody here knows how quickly these situations can spiral out of control. in 2008, more than 60 people died in a wave of xenophobia

10:35 pm
with her? >> nothing. >> you're the one sitting there saying -- shut your mouth. >> you shut your mouth. >> wow. clark says the woman's rant went on for ten minutes. cnn affiliates seven networks spoke with her about the encounter. >> today, the muslim woman's husband reached out to thank stacey. >> he said his wife is intimidated and afraid to be here. i said please don't be. australia is not that kind of place. >> i'm just an everyday person. people deserve respect. that's what i believe. >> and the man you saw in that video reached out to the woman behind the camera. is the sydney morning herald reports he sent her a facebook message thanking her for her support. in pakistan, an american citizen was shot while she drove from a medical school in karachi where she works. 55-year-old deborah lobo is unconscious but is expected to
10:36 pm
survive. michelle joins us live from islamabad on this developing story. what more do we know about this shooting and, of course, the condition of the american citizen, deborah lobo? >> well, rosemary, we're learning more from the police exactly what happened to deborah lobo. we know she is a 55-year-old california native and she was leaving her job as a teacher at a medical and dental college in karachi and she was shot in a drive by shooting in the cheek and in the shoulder. she is current will i in the hospital. she is alive and. >> stable condition under police protection. now, we understand from the police during the investigation that she had a daily routine. she would leave her job at the school at 3:00 p.m. to go pick up her daughters who went to school at the american school in karachi. and so the attackers picked a moment when she would be vulnerable to attack her. and they threw some pamphlets in
10:37 pm
the back of the car, according to police, written both in erdu and english. they claim to be part of the islamic state. it's unclear if they are part of the islamic state, if they coordinated this attack or they simply borrowed the name to make it a terror attack. so we are learning that they claimed it was in retaliation for a police operation against an al qaeda militant cell in ka ras karachi a few days ago. in that attack, the commander of the al qaeda was shot and killed. so she was picked as a soft target in a battle between the karachi security forces and militants in karachi, rosemary. >> it is horrifying. what are the likely ramifications of this shooting? you mentioned that it sounds like they know who did this. but will deborah likely remain in pakistan or could she be moved back to the united states with her family?
10:38 pm
>> that's a good question, rosemary. and that's something that her family will have to evaluate and decide if it's safe to continue living here. now, looking at karachi, it's a mega city. it's the financial center of the country, a very diverse city with over 20 million people. and so, you know, it's a city that welcomes many people to come and live and do their business. however, it is rare to have an american caucasian woman living there for a long period of time. she's lived here for almost 20 years. she's become a teacher. she has a family here. so she has many local ties. however, with the way that al qaeda is under attack here in pakistan, there's an operation in north wizeristan being conducted by the army now, trying to root out militants that have taken up and basically been able to operate from there. then down in karachi, we're seeing that there is basically a low level war between the police
10:39 pm
and militants that they're trying to root out. so, again, it is an unsafe situation that's playing in front of everyone's eyes on the media in a very populated city. and so it could be a difficult decision for their family to make. rosemary. >> we'll be watching for the ramifications there. michelle stockman reporting live from islamabad. many thanks to you. the united kingdom's top candidates square off in their last tv debate before next month's elections. we will see who showed up and who didn't. that's still to come. stay with us. c, i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this.

now for an update on a story we brought you earlier this week. gwenyth paltrow's food stamp challenge goes bust. she admitted thursday she couldn't survive on the food she bought with just $29 a week, the budget of a poor american living on food stamps. paltrow lasted just four days before succumbing to a craving for chicken, fresh vegetables and half a bag of licorice. she gave herself a c minus for the assignment and lamented that families on food stamps are trying to do the impossible. a florida couple schemed for months to keep a secret from their loved ones when the parents were expecting. they told everyone they would find out the baby's gender once it was born. but on the day of the big reveal, friends and family weren't shocked by the sex of the baby, but by the fact there was more than one. and it was caught on camera.
