7:06 am
>> well i think i heard people yesterday saying oh here we go again, it's going to be just like dallas. it couldn't be more different than dallas. in dallas, mr. duncan walked in with ebola, he was initially sent away he came back. they really were not prepared. you have a doctor self-monitoring. the minute he had symptoms he put himself in isolation. he went to bellevue. a designated center for treating ebola in the city. they've been drilling for this for weeks, so it really is different. >> you're confident bellevue is equipped to do this. he will not have to be transferred somewhere else. >> that's what people are telling me. of course, not as trained as the big four centers like emory, nebraska, montana and nih that have been training for years. >> but we learned something new about his fever, his temperature. >> we were told yesterday his temperature was 103. it was actually 100.3. to me, that's even more reassuring. when you think of it mr. duncan in dallas was sent out with 103. even he with 103, after a couple of days with contacts 48 of
7:07 am
them tested negative so that's reassuring. >> but he was feeling sluggish before. >> yes, this is a question you had wisely asked me this a few days ago. when does it actually become symptomatic. >> and contagious. >> and contagious. fortunately early on in the disease, it doesn't seem to be contagious. >> we learn today, the day before he was diagnosed with ebola, he went on a three-mile run, he rode the subway he went bowling, he took an uber. he was all around the city. >> right but -- >> should people be concerned? >> i think we have to go back to the science and what is known from 40 years of experience and you do have to have direct contact with body fluids to be infected. and if it were spread through the air, there would be tens of millions who would have it. that influenza is spread through the air. >> jon, thanks. >> thank you. >> jon spoke with another doctor who knows what this patient is going through. dr. richard sacra recovered from

stable condition. >> thanks. canada's prime minister under heightened security because of the terror attack in canada. we're learning more about the man who killed a canadian soldier and then attacked the houses of parliament. jim axelrod is in ottawa where a city and a nation are still grieving. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. behind me, you can see the makeshift memorial that's sprung up for nathan cirillo. he was standing watch on wednesday when he was shot and killed. and we're learning new details this morning about michael zehaf-bibeau. the gunman who police now say was acting alone. the attack shows the gunman running with the rifle as he makes his way to parliament. we're learning more about the 32-year-old muslim convert who opened fire in canada's capital. busted for robbery in british columbia in 2011 court documents obtained by cbs news paint a picture of a man hoping

to be locked away. speaking during his court hearing, zehalf-bibeau said, quote, i want to do another robbery just so i could come to jail, adding, i warn them referring to the canadian police, if you can't keep me, i'm going to do something just to be put in. he was sentenced to 67 days in jail for the 2011 robbery. for the last two weeks had been living in this men's shelter in ottawa. >> he was in town dealing with a passport issue but was also hoping to leave for syria. >> reporter: kevin vickers, the sergeant-at-arms who chased down and shot the gunman, was back in his role yesterday, leading the procession that opens every session of parliament. a 29-year veteran of the royal canadian mounted police he did his best to hold back emotion, offering only a head nod as he was greeted with a standing ovation.
7:12 am
following wednesday's deadly attack lawmakers were back to work thursday, unwilling to be intimidated by what they call an act of terror. >> here we are, in our seats, in our chamber, in the very heart of our democracy and our work. >> reporter: about that passport issue you just heard reference to, zehaf-bibeau's passport had not been renewed. a law enforcement official tells cbs news that's because they were concerns he had developed an internet connection with radicalized canadian living in syria, prompting concerns about travel. >> thank you so much. and many americans are wondering if the ottawa shooting could inspire similar violence right here in the u.s. officials saying there's good reason to worry. bob orr, good morning. >> good morning. now, increasing concerns about potential copycats here in the u.s. law enforcement officials are
7:13 am
most worried about a home grown violent extremist called a lone wolf sometime who might decide this might be the right time to strike out in the name of isis or another terror group. the threat from these self-radicalized americans is not new. but in recent weeks, we've seen isis propping up the propaganda campaign. urging attacks whenever and wherever possible. now isis is on the record praising the ottawa shooting as a good example of what followers should and can do. sources say the fbi is watching a number of americans, perhaps a few dozen or so who have either tried to go to syria or who have gone and come back home. those showing the desire to join the jihad are under varying degrees of surveillance and investigation. meanwhile, officials are continuing to go through the background of the canadian gunman. they've looked at travel records. they've shown he's traveled to the u.s. at least four times between 2010 and 213. but officials say there's no significance to those trips.
7:14 am
sources say also there's nothing in his background so far that connects him in any way to the u.s. to indicate that he had a strong connection to a global terror network or cell. charlie. >> bob, thanks. the parents of a hostage are making a plea. his mother sent a tweet to the terror group thursday saying, quote, please tell us what more we can do so that abdul rahman can continue to serve and live his life in accordance with the teachings of islam. margaret brennan at the state department with how they are getting unlikely support. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. a senior jihadi fighter seems to be speaking out in defense of the 26-year-old aid worker and now muslim. three weeks ago isis threatened to execute him. now, a surprising plea has appeared here, on what is believed to be the twitter account of abu omar aquidi. he is the senior fighter from
7:15 am
the nusra front, aligned with al qaeda and at odds with isis. in his tweet he claims kassig gave him medical help last year. in the same part of eastern syria where kassig was providing emergency aid before he was taken hostage. that post got the attention of kassig's parents and reinvigorated their online campaign featuring testimony from aid workers. like this man, who said he witnessed kassig helping refugees and called on the islamic tweets to release him. but it's the tweet that got their attention debating whether it's moral to execute someone who helped them. if this is about saving a life or simply competition is unclear. terror analyst phillip smythe is skeptical. do you think this appeal helps or hurts kassig? >> i don't know how much pull that really has, but i'm quite sure that this is, you know
7:16 am
it's a 3-d game of chess and nusra understands how to play the game, as does isis. >> reporter: but kassig's mother wants the world to know her son is more than a hostage. >> he's smart, he's compassionate, has love for all who need help. >> reporter: in her tweet last night, paula kassig asked for instructions on how to save her son. she has tried to make direct con tangt beforecontact before but has not received any response. >> margaret, thank you so much. isis is accused of using chemical weapons in iraq. 11 iraqi police officers went to the hospital last month complaining of dizziness and vomiting. doctors say the symptoms match chlorine poisoning. the attack happened 50 miles north of baghdad. there are at least two other incidents where officials suspect the terrorists used chlorine. it's a dream for drivers. the gas prices are falling fast. this morning aaa says the national average for regular is $3.07.
7:17 am
that is the lowest cost in nearly four years. >> the cheapest gas in the land is in tennessee at $2.82. california is the highest at $3.43. analyst and contributor mellody hobson is in los angeles with a look what's dropping the prices. mel di mellody, good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> what's behind this drop. >> four reasons. first, china has slowed down so the demand is down. secondly, opec, the oil cartel that produces 40% of the world's oil, has not been able to drop its supply fast enough to meet the china slowdown. so there's a bit of oversupply out there. thirdly, the u.s. dollar has been stronger than any of us expected. oil is priced in dollars. when the dollar gets stronger, oil prices go down.
7:18 am
and last but not least, many states have changed from their summer blend. >> how long will the factor be in place and how long will the prices fall? >> no one expected it to change any time soon. the way those economies are growing, we'll see that kind of slow consistent growth for a while. the question will be opec. they will probably coordinate their production and bring their production down to firm up prices a bit. the wild card always remains areas of the world where oil is produced that are inherently unstable, nigeria, iran, russia. >> and what about u.s. energy production? >> way up. in the last five years, our production is up almost 50%. that means our dependence on foreign oil has dropped precipitously. so it has been actually a really good thing. not only u.s. oil production being up but also our production
7:19 am
of natural gas. >> the interesting thing for all this is the gee political repercussions for iran and russia. >> yes. these low prices are hurting them, especially russia. >> mellody, thanks. you don't hear about tornados hitting washington state but one touched down thursday in long view just north of portland oregon. the ef-1 tornado buzzed through a six-block area with winds up to 110 miles an hour. it ripped off roofs but no one was hurt. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," the secret service guard dogs credited f kind of a quiet start to the day but that's going to all change as we head into the weekend. we have a storm system diving off the coastline but today, we should stay nice and dry in fact probably the nicest day of the week. but get ready for a stormy saturday especially in the morning hours. temperatures today going to soar into the 70s and low 80s well inland. 60s along the coastline. and as we look out toward the weekend, yeah, some rain coming through tomorrow morning turning to showers on and off.

said he never saw it coming. >> i was splitting lanes, say him coming out, and i thought, should i avoid this or not. >> he's been riding for 30 years. he took me for a ride on one of l.a.'s busy freeways to show the ride way to squeeze through rush hour traffic. in most states they're required to stay in marked lanes just like a car would but in california they're allowed to right between lanes and speed past slow moving traffic. he said it's safe when done with the same caution as regular motorcycle driving and now a new study suggests they're right. according to a new analysis if they split lanes at only slight ler slower than the flow of accident they're no more likely to have an accident than any other time but if they drive ten miles an hour more than traffic the risk greatly increases. what in your eyes is a safe speed to split lanes? >> cars are doing 20.

25, 30 is okay. >> no higher. >> no higher because at 30 miles an hour but the time you hit the brake, you've already passed two cars. >> those drivers splitting lanes when traffic is at a dead stop -- >> they're asking for it. >> most california motorcyclists agree. it's the few dangerous bikers that give the majority of safe riders a bad name. for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles >> i find that hard to believe that it's just as safe. >> it doesn't seem safe at all, especially when you're the drive e of the car and the person comes whizzing by. it's scary. but charlie rose would know apparently. >> i have a motorcycle or two, but i don't do that. >> it seems dangers. >> i love early morning when there's nobody else on the road. >> smart. good. all right. ahead. the pennsylvania dad being mistaken over and over

8:03 am
question. this day, now that we have a patient here in new york city what troubles you the most? what worries you the most? >> it would be the anxiety, if anything charlie, because as we discussed at that time we had an advantage here in new york, most cities did. we watched what happened in dallas. dallas in many ways was at a disadvantage because they were the case of first impression. and we have been prepare for weeks and weeks, literally. we did a training session the other day with 5,000 health care workers. so our health care workers feel trained, they feel prepared, they have the equipment, we did the drills. everything that happened here, by the way, was a textbook case of how the situation should be handled. we know more about the disease. we know how the disease is transmitted. so everything that could have been done and should have been done has been done. and it's been done properly.

we have the cdc onsight. president obama called last night, asked if we needed anything else. we identified eight hospitals in the state that if a case presented itself these eight hospitals will be fully prepared. bellevue was one of those eight hospitals. and it worked. there is also a doctor by the way. >> i was going to say -- >> he was familiar with how to handle it. >> i was going to say, that is one of the fortunate things is this was a doctor p-dr. spencer, who was taking his temperature twice a day. he knew immediately how to alert authorities and hand this in a safe way. i think the question though many people are asking dr. spencer just the night before he was diagnosed he was riding the subways, he had been in an uber taxi, he went bowling. can you assure people that they are not in a perilous position? >> well, what the doctor knew was this is not like the flu or
8:05 am
a common cold. it's not contagious until you're symptom attic. and the more ill you become the more contagious it is. the doctor presented himself at the hospital, as you mentioned, he was taking his temperature twice a day. he presented himself at the hospital. when he had a temperature of 100.3. it's been reported that he had a 103 temperature. it wasn't 103. it was 100.3. so as soon as he felt the fever coming on he presented himself at bellevue. and from there, all the proper protocols were handled. and again, he was only really in the company of three people his fiance, two co-workers who were also -- he went bowling with and he took a car service ride.
