Reporter this town hall in pelham was Chris Christies 41st in New Hampshire. Since the terrorist attacks in paris and san bernardino, christie has noticed a tidal shift in anxiety. 75 of his questions now are about terrorism, triple what they once were. As politicians we need to be responding to that fear. Reporter we rode on the christie bus and asked if fear can get the best of people . I dont think that we should be afraid of people because of what religion they practice. Reporter or how they look . Of course. That goes hand in hand. What you need to be fearful of is not having enough intelligence to know the difference between a jihadist and a peaceful muslim. Reporter how do you do that . You first of all ramp back up the nsa program, which never should have been taken down. You give real support to the fbi.

Reporter the ranks of christies republican rivals shrank by one today when Lindsey Graham dropped out. Maurice, graham took credit for persuading republicans in this race to be more willing than they were before to send Ground Troops to syria to fight isis. Major garrett in New Hampshire tonight. Thank you. We are getting a chilling look tonight at life for some victims of boko haram, the isislinked terrorists in africa who kidnapped hundreds of nigerian schoolgirls last year. A new report says the group killed 1,000 people in just the past two months. Debora patta reports from cameroon tonight where a woman freed from captivity but whose ordeal is far from over. Reporter aisha musa has been living in a crowded refugee camp for seven months. She survives by selling corn meal at the local market. Musa was kidnapped by boko haram militants. They killed her family and forced her at gunpoint to become a jihadi bride. They show you a gun, she said, and then whatever they say, you have to follow their commands. She told us her captor would lock her in during the day. At night he would rape her. He would go on operations and kill people, she said, and then come home and force me to be with him. Musa was rescued by the cameroon military, but the worst of her ordeal was finding out she was pregnant by her rapist. She told us, i am not enjoying that i have a baby from a boko haram man. But she is resigned and there are moments of tenderness. Her story is not unusual. Boko haram has captured hundreds of girls, the most infamous the over 200 chibok schoolgirls kidnapped more than 18 months ago. Musa never saw the chibok girls but often heard the fighters speak of them. Like many of the other girls here, they too were forced to marry the militants. And in a double injustice, many are now stigmatized by their community. Girls like musa are regarded as spoiled goods, the baby a very public reminder of a cruel and unfair shame.

More than 40 of the drives had to be terminated because it was judged to be unsafe. Reporter more than half the workers tested said they nodded off behind the wheel at least once a week on their way home, and they did no better in the test. They knew they were being watched, yet even in that context they couldnt stay awake while they were driving in a simulation of their commute home from work. Reporter dallasarea Convenience Store manager shariq khan starts work at 11 00 p. M. And works through the night. Sometimes when i get off of my job, when i drive back home, i feel like im falling asleep. Reporter he believes the lack of sleep led to him having a couple minor accidents. Researchers suggest night shift workers like khan skip driving and find another way home, but his area lacks public transportation. Theres no alternative. Theres no bus or no Train Service there. And i cant afford to have a taxi every day. Reporter researchers say night shift workers are fighting their own Natural Sleep patterns and they cant sleep as well during the day no matter how much they try.

Miss universe 2015 is philippines reporter but for miss colombia, a moment that should have been filled with joy and celebration turned into confusion and awkwardness when host steve harvey realized he crowned the wrong winner. It was my mistake. Reporter but steve harvey said the reason for his confusion was how the names were listed on the card. After the show he apologized again. Reporter to add insult to inry, when he posted an apology on social media, he misspelled philippines and colombia. Critics went online to skewer harvey.

Sweet peas adopted parents, john and jen churchman have a give andtake relationship with the land. They saved her life. She changed theirs. Were very grateful for all of this. Its very surreal. Sweet pea, how you doing . Reporter when sweet pea developed an infection last winter, jen and john described the touchandgo on facebook. So when you posted that sweet pea was in trouble, your followers must have been quite worked up about this. They were. They wanted updates all the time. This is prem. This is sunny. Reporter the churchmans brought sweet pea up to their house with barnmates violet, sunny and prem to keep her company and to celebrate when she got better. We started about we would bring the others up for a party. Someone said, if they do that its going to be a sheepover. We were playing with this and people on facebook said, you have to write a book.

From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im maurice dubois. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im jericka duncan. Murder charges have been filed in las vegas against a woman who police say drove her car up the curb and plowed through crowds of people on a sidewalk. One person was killed, dozens of others injured. Whats more, there was a child in the car. Police dont have a motive, but the suspect is being held without bail. John blackstone reports. Reporter the usually busy Las Vegas Strip was crowded instead with emergency vehicles after the 1996 model oldsmobile deliberately plowed into pedestrians on the sidewalk. Antonio had just stepped out of the casino when the car sped past. People were bouncing off the front of the car. You could hear it. The windshield was smashed. She rode on the sidewalk and accelerated and just kept mowing everyone down. Reporter soon after police say 24yearold Lakeisha Halloway pulled into a casino parking lot and told the valet to call 911. It looked like she wasnt even trying to stop the car. She had both of her hands on the wheel and was looking straight forward. There were men running after her trying to stop the vehicle, and they couldnt get to her. Good morning, everybody. Reporter Clark County Sheriff joe lombardo doesnt think this was an act of terror but still cant rule it out. As far as terrorism, we dont know what the intent was behind it, and we dont know enough of her background to make that determination. We have not had the time or the luxury to get through all those investigative leads yet. Reporter lombardo says holloway came to las vegas from oregon about a week ago and had been living in her car with her 3yearold child, who was also in the vehicle as she ran people down. She did not demonstrate signs of being under the influence of alcohol, but we had a drug recognition expert respond to the scene and determine that he believed she to be under some sort of stimulant. Reporter investigators have not yet determined a motive for this unusual attack. As might be expected here on the Las Vegas Strip, maurice, all 35 of the injured were visitors coming from several states as well as canada and mexico. Also in las vegas, a different type of tragedy. This one at the Miss Universe pageant, on a live show being watched by millions around the world. Host steve harvey announced the winner, and he got it wrong. It was an awkward moment for the winner, the runnerup and the entire pageant. Nischelle turner was backstage after the mixup. Reporter its not the biggest mistake in the history of the universe, but its probably the biggest flub in the history of mitsss universe. Imagine this, seconds ticking down on the end of the live broadcast and everyone is trying to figure out how to tell the announced winner that shes actually first runnerup. Miss universe 2015 is colombia [ applause ] reporter for about 2 1 2 minutes, she was the reigning queen of Miss Universe, until host steve harvey returned and said this. I have to apologize. The first runnerup is colombia. Miss universe 2015 is philippines. Reporter the actual winner appeared stunned. For more than a minute, those on stage seemed at a loss for what to do next. Host harvey quickly admitted his error. I will take responsibility for this. It was my mistake. It was on the card. Reporter unfortunately, it wasnt harveys only mistake of the night. He tweeted he misspelled philippines and colombia. The tweewas quickly treated deleted and corrected.
