This is Triple-N, here with Professor John Ramirez.

What's going on Professor?

Can you describe the illness that's spreading in there?

I'm sorry, but that's all classified.

I can confirm, though, that it's a fever. And initial symptoms can turn to panic and confusion.

We have experts on-site.

And what of the rumors of violence inside the Exclusion Zone?

We've got the spread of the illness contained...

... and the best minds we've got working on it.

Right now we have NO reason to believe folks won't recover.

The way this started was highly contagious.

And that's why we, quickly and efficiently, locked the place down.

During the Vietnam War there was a lot of chemical testing conducted in this area.

Is there a link?

We don't think so, no ma'am.

Thank you.

We're going straight over to Washington now, and Daniel Sinclair.

Daniel - can you hear me?

I can. Yes.

As you can see in the scenes behind me...

... there is a huge number of protesters here today.

All angry and all wearing surgical masks: partly from solidarity...

... and perhaps from fear.

We've heard talk of fighting, Daniel.

Yes, there have been strong words - and unwise actions.

Localized fighting, swiftly dealt with by police officers.

All quiet right now though, aside from the loud, angry chants.

It's a crowd on a knife-edge.

Thank you Daniel.

JESUS!

What, what's happening?

Someone just threw a firebomb. Someone in the crowd..

Errr. Stick with us everyone.
