time of people demonstrating against the government. >> i still can't get over how many cameras are in china. jill dougherty, thank you so much, at the washington bureau for us today. thank you, jill. and now this -- here we go. hour two, welcome back. i'm brooke baldwin. many holiday travelers are impacted at this hour by severe weather. also, police are investigating a student's sudden death. just how financially sound are the big banks? ted rowlands is riding an amtrack train to chicago. ted? >> reporter: brooke, we've been talking to people all morning long. we started at st. louis at 4:30 in the morning. melvin joined us later on in the trip. you like the train? yes or no? >> yes. >> why? >> it's convenient, you know. it's just convenient for me. my daughter is in st. louis, i'm in chicago. it's a quick trip. >> and cheaper, too. betty is on her way to virginia, eventually and betty, why do you like taking the train? >> well, it's a better ride. it's more economical. there's no sense in flying from st. louis and i've changed planes at midway. so it's just more economical. i only pay $30 round trip for my train ticket. >> you're going to see your son for thanksgiving? >> in fairfax, virginia. >> back for christmas? >> exactly. >> and she's going to be taking the train again, brooke. she has seen it all. she serves beer, liquor, and other things on the amtrack trains. this should be a reality show you a you should star in it? >> yes, absolutely. >> absolutely. we want to show you this. this is a dome car. there is only one dome car in the whole amtrack fleet. we have to go around the stairs and go up these stairs this is why it's call the dome fleet. you can see out and not only can you see the entire trip through the windows, but you can also see the motorists that have made the decision to drive rather than take the train. and robert, train better than driving for you? >> definitely better than driving. sit back, look out the beautiful windows. amtrack has great service, very relaxing. don't have to deal with the traffic. >> brooke, there you have it. a lot of people on the train throughout the country on this thanksgiving day weekend. busiest day of the year. >> ted rowlands, thank you. safe travels to you. next on reporter roulette, chad myers, the weather is causing some headaches. give me some good news, as he laughs. >> the airports are open. >> oh, man. >> the bad news is, many of them are very, very slow. i want to get to an app and it's called flight board. it's a fabulous little app. it's 3 bucks. something like that. $3.99. the two boston flights from delta have been canceled there. i can show you the other delays that go side ways. many of the flights, here's american airlines to dallas, 21 minutes late out of laguardia and you go farther down. jetblue, it hasn't even left yet. as the gates go on and day goes on, you're going to see this worst out of the east. thanksgiving looking pretty good. if you're going to be traveling then, sometimes it's a cheaper flight. many people have done that. the problem with today is that there are two main areas of transportation being slow. one in the northeast and the other the northwest. when you get flights that travel across the country, there are 30 minutes out of the way, that means that they are late leaving and 30 minutes late getting there. back and forth, by the time the 8:00 flights come, you can really be an hour or two behind. >> what was that, flight board? >> yes, flight board. i love it. >> chad myers, thank you. we can find out how strong the big banks are and someone may be tracking your phone on black friday. alison kosik is live at the new york stock exchange. alison, first the banks, another stress test coming? >> yes. in fact, the list of big banks, they have until january to show that they can hold up under hypothetical scenarios, a very stressful situation, like let's say a stock market crash or 13% unemployment or just another bad recession. now, these banks, they have to show that they have enough money to keep lending even if those events play out. if it sounds familiar, it should. banks went through stress tests and then only involved 19 banks. now it involves 31 banks. the test is a lot more stringent and bigger because there are new wall street regulations. it's an effort to avoid repeating case of the past when liquidity becomes a problem during the great recession. brooke? >> alison, a lot of people are shopping over the next course of the few days. someone may be watching and who is that someone and how are they watching us, based upon our cell phones? >> well, yes. you're talking about big brother. the mall is going to be watching you. particularly, two malls. temecula and here is how it will work. it's going to want to track how people go through the mall and what stores they go through. if they go from nordstrom to starbuck, the idea is that they have coffee after leaving after that store. or how long do they linger at victoria's secret? what is unpopular. the company that makes this tracking equipment says what it winds up doing is helping stores improve the shopping experience. now, keep in mind no personal data will be collected. let's say that they would know that allison is buying a dress. it would be the anonymous data. if you're still worried about it, you have an option to opt out by turning your phone off when you walk into the store. brooke? >> and this is all based upon a cell signal in these two malls? >> exactly. that's exactly right. they will track your movements and know just how you like to shop, brooke. >> wow. >> what you like to buy. >> alison kosik, thank you so much. >> yes. >> in new york. >> it's creepy. >> next on "reporter roulette," elizabeth cohen with new details on the death of an arkansas player, derek. >> he died on sunday and the coroner says that he died of an enlarged heart. it's a disease that runs in families. some people will feel light-headed or a pounding heart but a lot of people won't. there are not any symptoms. and aapparently that was the case here. the university said they weren't told of any heart problems. there were no signs at all. and i want to add one more thick. people often think of drugs. they did toxicology and they were negative. apparently drugs were not involved. >> so i'm hearing you say that it's genetic but how often does this happen in young people? >> one study says that 50 to 100 athletes die of sudden death each year. not particularly of myopathy. it's not a tiny number. >> is there anything -- parents watching. is there anything that an empowered parent can do to make sure that this doesn't happen to their child? >> there really is. if your child is an athlete, make sure that they have a proper physical. and when i say proper, i mean the kind of physical that a student athlete is supposed to get. they just did -- there was just a study done. obama 6% of student athletes get the proper physicals. >> are kids not required to get these anymore? >> they are required to get physicals but not any specific type. the doctor is not necessarily required to do anything in particular. so you want to go to cnn.com/empowered pashpatient and we have a list of 12 things that they should be doing. this is unusual. i don't want to scare people. but when it does happen it can happen without warning and it's devastating. >> knowledge is power. elizabeth cohen, thanks. and that's "reporter roulette" for today. still ahead, a sitting governor is calling off all executions in his state. also, this -- >> i cannot, i will never, ever, ever put that number on my body. >> a worker says he was fired because he refused to wear a sticker. why? because he says that sticker shows the mark of the devil. we're on the case. plus -- >> somebody up here is going to be president and i hope it's going to be me but one of us is going to be. it's important for us to unify the country -- >> cnn's political analyst gloria borger asking tough questions post the debate including what he thinks about the last republican standing. but will a comment about immigration hurt gingrich at the polls. and i'm sure this will come up at your turkey dinner tomorrow. we have a little advice for you. how to be smarter than anyone in the room or how to completely change the subject. stay right there. this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ?

what happens to her child? and then, will she even be safe when she's released? >> reporter: the hope is that someone will intervene. there is suggestion that she may be pardoned by the president but tonight her and her child remain in jail. the u.s. state department has issued a statement. they don't call for her release. they just express their heartfelt condolences to the woman and say that no woman should be in a situation like that. it's about pressure upon the presidential palace here to see the president intervene and call for her release and then after that, of course, sanctuary or some kind of an asylum to assure her safety. brooke?
