tennessee an alarming announcement out of north korea. kim jong-un says his country has developed a hydrogen bomb. keir simmons is following this story. >> this is the first time north korea's leader claimed his nation developed a hydrogen bomb. weeks ago, he issued an equally belligerent statement, that he could attack the u.s. at any time. the hydrogen bomb produces a stronger blast than the nitrogen bomb. he has been on a campaign to pressure the international community, repeatedly making threats. last month, north korea staged the biggest military parade in its history, but did not appear to be any new weapons. a year ago, computer hackers attacked sony over "the interview," a movie about the plot to assassinate north korea's leader. so far this morning, there's no comment from the state

korean nuclear claim. it's viewed with suspicion by many experts. some say it's rhetoric. the aim, perhaps, to send a message that the country won't abandon its nuclear weapons, to force the international community to recognize north korea's nuclear status, something washington says it will never do. >> keir, thank you. more protests expected in chicago today, a day after demonstrators flooded the streets. they're calling for the resignation of mayor ram emmanuel. this is in response to the video of a white officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. it's led to the firing of chicago's top police officer and a federal investigation into the police department. wednesday, mayor emaneul issued an apology to his city but he's not stepping down. 120 boston college students

>> reporter: the number of students sick jumped to 120. the restaurant was cited for three violations. >> i'll make sure the establishment is safe. >> reporter: it's a fast-spreading virus that causes distress distress. it is hard to kill. >> hopefully, it'll be effective. you have to do more than cleaning solutions. you need ultraviolet light. you need things like high temperature. >> reporter: the latest round of bad news comes on the heels of an e. coli outbreak at chipotle restaurants in nine states. the company warning of a double digit drop in same-store sales >> one of the things the company says it'll do is prepare fresh food ingredients off site. things like diced tomatoes and other risky ingredients, sanitize and seal them before shipping them back to restaurants.

steve ells, chipotle's founder and ceo, is with us exclusively. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> i have watching your face watching the tape. this is a tough time for you guys. >> i'm sorry for the people who got sick. they're having a tough time, and i feel terrible about that. we're doing a lot to rectify this and to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> let's start in boston and work our way back to the pacific northwest. the norovirus is what sickened these people. 120 people up in boston. the restaurant is closed down. they've been issued some violations. the cleanup is underway. are you convinced you've contained this now, that more people won't contain being sick? >> well, in regard to the e. coli, you know, there was one particular period of time, from mid october until early november, that appeared -- that's when the outbreak occurred. the reporting of the illnesses

>> you're saying in boston, you could have more cases report snd s s reported? >> well, with the norovirus, probably, you've heard that this is the extent of it. but it's a very -- it's a disease that is very easily passed and spreads very, very quickly, from person to person. >> you're convinced when you reopen the store near boston, people will not be getting sick if they go back to eat there? restaurant will be complete e pletely sanitized and every employee will have been tested and assured they do not have norovirus. >> the e. coli outbreak started in early october. dozens of people got sick. it's my understanding that after weeks of investigating this, the fda has not found an exact source of that e. coli bacteria, is that true? >> it's true. we have had teams looking at this.

an abundance of caution and surfaces. thousands and thousands of tests, matt, all came back negative for e. coli. if there is a silver lining in this, it is that we have looked at every single ingredient that we use at chipotle. we use 64 ingredients that we bring in, from farm through the distribution network, how we prepare the food, serve the food. we've had a team of food safety experts to raise our standards from the already industry norms that are -- >> you call it a silver lining. it might be troubling. if you can't identify the source, how do you eliminate it in the future? >> unfortunately, what got people sick, was no longer in the system by the time they even showed symptoms. so, unfortunately, you'll not find that.

that it has caused us to put in place practices that our epidemiologist expert says will put us 10 to 15 years ahead of industry norms. i believe this will be the safest restaurant to eat at. >> a lot of damage has been done, mr. ells. stock prices doubled, double digits since early november. first, financially, can the company recover? >> certainly. about now. we're thinking about the safety and quality of our ingredients. to put in place practices that again. practices that are so far above industry norms today, we will be the safest place to eat. that is our commitment.integrity, to bring the best ingredients to fast food, we have practices that will make it the safest place to eat.

mr. ells, this company started with a great idea and grew too fast. that it took off at a rate where you couldn't keep control of things like sourcing and quality control. even things that would affect the public health. is there some merit to that claim? >> i don't think so. because if you look at the quality of our ingredients over time, we've made great strides in sourcing better quality food. more organics. more local and sustainably raised foods. this was a very unfortunate incident, and i'm deeply sorry this happened. but the procedures we're putting in place today are so above industry norms that we are going to be the safest place to eat. >> steve ells, good of you to join us this morning. we know you have a lot going on. >> thank you. now, we go to colorado and a fiery day in court for the man accused of killing a police officer and two others at a planned parenthood last month. robert dear in court to be

outbursts, including telling the court he is guilty. >> the truth, huh? kill the babies, that's what planned parenthood does. nobody ever know the amount of blood i saw inside that place. >> dear called himself a, quote, warrior for the babies. his attorney said he had serious concerns about dear's competency to stand trial. he'll be in court on december 23rd. now we'll move to the weather and tale of two coasts. you have some stories. warm out here and -- >> warm here, but stormy out west. it continues. let's look at some video from northwestern oregon. folks have been having to drive through flooded roads, which they should not do. there have been landslides, mud slides. we're going to be seeing more of this, and mountain snows, as well. we'll show you what we have happening now. we have two storms. currently, one is getting ready to push on shore. we've got another one out here in the pacific.
