This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Were beginning with a possible case of ebola in the biggest city in america. A doctor in new york who treated ebola patients patients in west africa became ill today and has been admitted to a hospital. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook is here. And, jon what, you have learned . Reporter scott, we should emphasize the patient is awaiting test results so we dont know if he has ebola. What makes this different from other cases that have turned on the to be false alarms is this patient reportedly returned from west africa in the last weeks. Thats the time symptoms most often start to appear, and tonight, he is showing some of those symptoms. The doctor, Craig Spencer had returned from guinea after working with ebola patients for the aid Group Doctors without borders. The new York City Health Department Said he had a fever of 103 and gastrointestinal symptoms. He contacted officials and isolated himself. This video shot by the new york post, shows spencer being taken from his apartment in manhattan to Bellevue Hospital by a specially trained unit wearing personal protective equipment. Bellevue is the designated Ebola Treatment Center in new york city. The new York City Health department is investigating everyone the patient had contact with to identify who might be at risk. Doctors without borders said he followed their protocol for returning from ebola assignments saying in a statement the individual engaged in regular Health Monitoring and reported this development immediately. The hospital is saying we could get results as early as this evhis compare to that troublesome case in dallas . Reporter scott it could not be more different where mr. Duncan walked into a hospital that really wasnt prepared for a man with ebola. This man was a physician was selfmonitoring, and as soon as he got symptoms he contacted people who needed to send help and he went to bellevue which is a designated ebola center in new york, the center, and theyve been specifically training for this for weeks. Pelley the Ebola Outbreak has now spread to a sixth country in west africa with one case now reported in mali. Liberia remains ground zero with half of the ebola deaths in the world, more than 2700 there so far. The dead are highly contagious, so the government has made cremation mandatory. This is the glow of bodies burning each night outside the capital monrovia. Debora patta followed a burial team as it combed the countryside. Reporter life was hard enough in kakata before ebola. Now it has one of the highest infection rates in the country. Its feared this womans brother died from ebola but shes not being allowed anywhere near the body. The villagers too say their farewells from a distance. Government worker george woryounwon briefs the burial team hes brought to the village to help remove the body. People torch their body wiel crying. They cook, they eat and sleep together for one two weeks before the burial. And now we are saying dont allow the doddy body to be there for 24 hours. Reporter the new rules dont go over well. Sometimes villagers hide bodies or bury them in secret to avoid the government. Even now this dead mans widow emphatically denies her husband died of the virus. Nothing. Reporter despite the fact that ebola claimed the lives of both his mother and sister. After a long walk into the bush, the burial team begins suiting up, following strict new guidelines. Freda forkpah was studying to be a nurse before the outbreak but she jumped at a chance of a job. She makes 15 a day. I am proud to be part of the burial team because i was the first female that joined the team. Reporter are you not scared . Its the most dangerous job in the world . No, im not afraid. Reporter the team discovers that someone has covered the body with a blanket which also means someone may have touched it and could spread the disease further but nobody will own up. The body is unceremoniously packed away in a doublelayered protective bag. The team sprays chlorine everywhere. Then they move back toward the village, stopping several times along the way. The body is just too heavy. Devastated villagers are only given a glimpse of the clouded bod body. Then a ruthlessly efficient burial. Every piece of contaminated clothing is thrown in with the corpse. But inside the chlorinated body bag lies a man who was loved. Felicifa chepus, who delivered coal for the villagers stoves, was just 22 years old. Cremation remains the safest way to manage the bodies of ebola victims but as you just saw its being met with strong resistance. For villagers is gz against ancient burial traditions which involves touching and washing the dead and scott thats why its proving so difficult to stop the outbreak of ebola in the rural areas. Pelley the police in canada tonight are telling us the man who opened fire in the Parliament Building yesterday and gunned down a soldier at the National War Memorial acted alone, and they say he was not connected to an attack that killed a canadian soldier earlier in the week in quebec.

Reporter Dominic Adesanya jumped the fence on the north side of the white house about 7 15 last night. Secret Service Agents unleashed two attack dogs. Adesanya fought back before agents subdued him. He was arrested and sent for medical care, as were the two dogs hurricane and jordan. The dogs were cleared to return to duty but today other secret Service Canines worked the white house grounds. Its the seventh fence jumping incident this year. In september, Omar Gonzalez scaled a fence before being apprehended inside the east room. In that case, no dogs were deployed. Today, adesanya appeared in federal court wearing thick bandages below his left elbow and on his right hand. Agitated adesanya hissed at his attorney and tried to interrupt the proceedings. Authorities charged him with two federal misdemeanors unlawfully entering the white house grounds and harming animals used in Law Enforcement. This was not adesanyas first arrest near the white house. On july 27, he jumped a security barrier between the white house and treasury department. Three days later agents arrested him trying to enter the Treasury Building without an appointment. He was screaming im not leaving until i get my check. Adesanya lives with his parents in bel air maryland. His father said his sons erratic behavior, known to federal authorities is a growing concern. What he did should be no surprise to them because they didnt help him the first time. And we just hope they help him now because if they turn him loose to me again theresi can do.

In an interview with cbs Radio Station kmox, former st. Louis county police chief tim fitch said this about the leaks i think what youre seeing them do is coordinate leaks to the media and to start getting some of the facts out there to kind of let people down slowly.

Everybody is taking an anonymous leak information to say oh, this supports the officers version. Michael browns family has always said they dont trust any of the local st. Louis authorities.
