>> Ian: ON THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT,
IF THE NAFTA TALKS ARE A GAME OF
CHICKEN, NEITHER CANADA NOR THE
U.S. HAVE FLINCHED YET.
AFTER HARSH WORDS FROM U.S.
LAWMAKERS, THE TOP NEGOTIATORS
MET FACE-TO-FACE.
WHAT DID THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
MINISTER CHRYSTIA FREELAND MAKE
OF IT?
AND WHY WAS DOUG FORD ON SCENE?
>> Andrew: A LOOK IN TICKET
SCALPING THAT YOU'VE GOT TO SEE
TO BELIEVE.
WHAT IT SEEMS TO MEAN FOR
REGULAR BUYERS.
YOU BE THE YOUNG.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Ian: THE U.S. SAYS IT'S DO OR
DIE TIME FOR THE NEGOTIATES.
CANADA MUST CUT A DEAL OR ELSE.
IN WASHINGTON, THERE IS NO SIGN
CANADIAN NEGOTIATORS ARE BACKING
DOWN.
KATIE SIMPSON TAKES IS BEHIND
THE SCENES.
>> Reporter: NAFTA NEGOTIATORS
NEEDED A SHOT OF CAFFEINE AFTER
A MARATHON SITTING OF INTENSE
TALKS.
>> OUR NEGOTIATORS HAVE BEEN
REALLY, REALLY HARD AT IT,
INCLUDING AN ALL-NIGHT SESSION
LAST NIGHT OF ONE TEAM THAT JUST
ENDED AT 7 A.M. THIS MORNING.
>> Reporter: BUT THOSE
ROUND-THE-CLOCK DISCUSSIONS HAVE
YET TO LEAD TO A BREAKTHROUGH.
TALKS REMAIN STEADY, BUT SLOW
AND THAT CANADA IS NOT GOING TO
BE RUSHED INTO A FAST FINISH.
IF TALKS DON'T WRAP UP BY THE
U.S. IMPOSED DEADLINE BY THE END
OF THE MONTH, THE CANADIANS
EXPECT TO BE ON THE RECEIVING
END OF MORE INTENSE, BLUNT,
CRITICISM.
CANADA IS ALREADY BEING
PRESSURED BY INFLUENTIAL
REPUBLICANS TO FALL IN LINE OR
RISK BEING CUT OUT OF THE DEAL.
>> CANADA NEEDS TO REALLY STEP
UP HERE THIS WEEK.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE
DEADLINES.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
IS DISMISSING THAT PRESSURE,
SUGGESTING THE U.S. NEEDS TO BE
READY TO COMPROMISE.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE'RE GOING TO SEE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT TO
GET THERE AND THAT'S CERTAINLY
WHAT WE'RE HEAP HOPING.
>> Reporter: CANADIANS ARE
SAYING IT'S THE AMERICANS WHO
NEED TO PLAY BALL.
>> THEY HAVE TO SIGNAL THEY'RE
GOING TO MOVE ON THE ISSUES IN A
SERIOUS WAY.
IF NOT, THERE WON'T BE A DEAL.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE
THE BLAME FOR THAT.
>> Reporter: THE CONSERVATIVE
PREMIER OF ONTARIO --
>> I WANT TO REAFFIRM AGAIN,
WE'RE STANDING SHOULDER TO SO
YOU WOULDER SHOULDER WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
>> DOUG FORD STUCK TO THE
SCRIPT.
WHILE HE DIDN'T MEET WITH U.S.
LAWMAKERS, FORD ALSO DIDN'T GIVE
THE AMERICANS ANY REASON TO
DOUBT CANADA IS ANYTHING BUT
UNITED ON NAFTA.
LOWER LEVEL TECHNICAL
NEGOTIATORS ARE GOING TO KEEP
TALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH
THOSE HIGH LEVEL TALKS BETWEEN
MINISTER FREELAND AND HER
AMERICAN COUNTERPART PICKING UP
TOMORROW.
>> Ian: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT
WHERE THE TALKS ARE STUCK?
>> Reporter: IT'S THE BIG SORE
POINTS THAT HAVE BEEN THE
PROBLEM SINCE THE NEGOTIATIONS
BEGAN 13 MONTHS AGO.
BOTH THE DAIRY INDUSTRY, WHICH
IS A PROBLEM FOR THE AMERICANS,
THAT WAS DISCUSSED TODAY, AS
CANADA'S DEMAND TO KEEP AN
INDEPENDENT DISPUTE RESOLUTION
WITHIN NAFTA.
A SOURCE TELLS ME THAT
CONVERSATIONS TODAY WERE FULL
AND FRANK.
IF THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME
SORT OF BREAKTHROUGH THIS WEEK,
IT HAS TO HAPPEN TOMORROW.
CANADA'S FOREIGN AFFAIRS
MINISTER IS EXPECTED TO BE IN
MONTREAL ON FRIDAY TO HOST
FEMALE FOREIGN MINISTERS, SO SHE
WON'T BE ABLE TO STICK AROUND
UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK.
>> Ian: KATIE SIMPSON IN
WASHINGTON AGAIN TONIGHT.
SHE MENTIONED THE RENEGOTIATIONS
BEGAN A YEAR AGO AN SINCE THEN,
DEADLINES HAVE COME AND GONE.
SOME FEEL THE DATES ARE
MEANINGLESS, BUT THERE IS
CONCERN THIS IS DIFFERENT.
>> HOW MANY HAVE YOU ALREADY
PASSED?
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY
SEPTEMBER OF 2017.
THEN MARCH.
THEN JUNE.
NOW SEPTEMBER.
SO WHO KNOWS?
I THINK THIS ONE HAS SOME
VALIDITY TO IT.
>> Ian: WHY?
WELL, BECAUSE BY SEPTEMBER 30,
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TO PRESENT
THE FULL AND FINAL AGREEMENT TO
CONGRESS AND THAT DEADLINE WAS
SET BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE
WANTS TO INK A DEAL WHILE
MEXICO'S CURRENT PRESIDENT
ENRIQUE PEÑA NIETO IS STILL IN
OFFICE BEFORE A NEW LEFTIST
SUCCESSOR STARTS DECEMBER 1.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD, WE GO
UNDER COVER IN LAS VEGAS AT A
CONCERT FOR TICKET RESELLERS.
>> LI BINGBING SEEMS TO HAVE
DISAPPEARED, WHAT HAPPENED TO
HER?
>> Andrew: THE DRAMATIC SHOWDOWN
IN WASHINGTON OVER THE SUPREME
COURT NOMINEE AND THE WOMAN WHO
SAYS HE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER.
>> President Donald Trump: I
THINK HE'S AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.
>> Andrew: DONALD TRUMP IS
STANDING BY HIS MAN, BRETT
KAVANAUGH, EVEN CASTING DOUBT ON
THE SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS
MADE AGAINST HIM.
>> VERY HARD TO IMAGINE THAT
ANYTHING HAPPENED.
>> Andrew: CALIFORNIA PROFESSOR
CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD CAME
FORWARD JUST THIS WEEK ALLEGING
A TEENAGED KAVANAUGH ATTACKED
HER AT A HIGH SCHOOL PARTY
DECADES AGO, PINNING HER TO A
BED, GROPING HER AND TRYING TO
TAKE OFF HER CLOTHES.
BRETT KAVANAUGH SAYS THOSE
CLAIMS ARE FALSE AND IS LOOKING
TO CLEAR HIS NAME ON MONDAY.
BUT STILL A MYSTERY WHETHER HIS
ACCUSER WILL TESTIFY HERSELF.
SHE WANTS THE F.B.I. TO
INVESTIGATE HER ALLEGATIONS
FIRST.
BUT IT WOULD FALL TO TRUMP
HIMSELF TO ORDER THAT
INVESTIGATION.
AND HE HAS ALREADY RULED THAT
OUT.
>> YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION FIRST
BEFORE SHE SHOULD BE FORCED TO
TESTIFY.
>> WHAT IF THIS WAS YOUR
DAUGHTER?
WOULDN'T YOU WANT SOME MODICUM
OF INVESTIGATION AND A SENSE OF
FAIR TREATMENT?
AND THAT IS NOT WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
>> SHOULD THE F.B.I. INVESTIGATE
THE ALLEGATIONS?
>> Andrew: WHAT IS UNCLEAR NOW
IS IF REPUBLICANS WOULD GO AHEAD
WITH THE HEARINGS IF FORD DIDN'T
ISN'T THERE.
>> WHAT I'M FOCUSED ON RIGHT
NOW, IS DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO MAKE DR. FORD COMFORTABLE.
>> Andrew: BUT TODAY, EVEN
REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO HAVE
SUPPORTED FORD ARE SAYING IF SHE
DOESN'T TESTIFY NEXT WEEK, THE
COMMITTEE MIGHT JUST HAVE TO
MOVE ON TO A VOTE ANYWAY.
NOW KEITH BOAG IS WATCHING THIS
FRANTIC BE BACK AND FORTH TT ON
THE IDEA OF FORGING AHEAD, HOW
BIG IS THE RISK?
>> IT'S NO SECRET THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE THE PROBLEM OF
ATTRACTING WOMEN'S VOTERS.
THAT'S WHY THEIR BACKS APPEAR TO
BE AGAINST THE WALL IN THE
MIDTERMS.
RAMMING THROUGH A SUPREME COURT
UNANIMOUS ANY WITHOUT REGARD TO
AN -- NOMINEE, THAT'S NOT GOING
TO HELP THEM.
BUT THE SPECTACLE OF HEARING
THAT REPUBLICANS MIGHT CHALLENGE
THE CREDIBILITY OF A WOMAN
MAKING SUCH AN ALLEGATION, WELL
THAT'S A RISKY PROPOSITION, TOO.
>> Andrew: IS THERE ANY
POSSIBILITY THAT THIS COULD
REALLY GO SIDEWAYS, THAT
KAVANAUGH'S NOMINATION MIGHT BE
WITHDRAWN OR FAIL?
>> THINGS ARE MOVING SO QUICKLY
I WOULDN'T WANT TO SPECULATE ON
HOW IT WILL TURN OUT.
BUT CERTAINLY THERE ARE
SCENARIOS IN PLAY THAT WEREN'T
IN PLAY A WEEK AGO.
KEY REPUBLICAN SENATORS HAVE
WAVERED ON BRETT KAVANAUGH.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Ian: IT'S BEEN A BIG DAY FOR
DOUG FORD, YOU SAW HIM IN
WASHINGTON TALKING TRADE.
BUT HE ALSO SCORED A BIG VICTORY
IN THE BATTLE OVER THE SIZE OF
TORONTO CITY COUNCIL.
>> WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD
WIT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH BUILDING TRANSIT, HOUSING,
INFRASTRUCTURE AND I'M HAPPY AND
GRATEFUL FOR THE COURT'S
DECISION.
>> Ian: ONTARIO'S HIGHEST COURT
SUSPENDED THE RULING THAT CALLED
FORD'S BILL TO SHRINK COUNCIL
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THAT MEANS THERE IS NO NEED TO
PASS LEGISLATION INVOKING THE
NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE.
TORONTO'S ELECTION WILL HAPPEN
ON SCHEDULE NEXT MONTH, THOUGH
THE TORONTO MAYOR SAYS THE LEGAL
FIGHT WILL CONTINUE.
>> OUR LAWYERS HAVE CLEAR
DIRECTION TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT
BECAUSE THE COURSE OF ACTION
ENGAGED IN HERE WAS AND IS
WRONG.
>> Ian: THIS IS A STORY THAT
GALVANIZED PUBLIC OPINION, BUT
NOWHERE MORE THAN CANADA'S
LARGEST CITY ITSELF.
HOW ARE COUNCIL CANDIDATES
DEALING?
RON CHARLES HAS THAT STORY.
>> I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE
ELECTION IS OCTOBER 22.
IT'S OFFICIAL.
>> Reporter: TORONTO CITY
COUNCIL KRYSTIN WONG-TAM IS
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
OUTCAMPAIGNING TRYING TO EXPLAIN
THE ELECTION TO CONFUSED VOTERS.
OVER THE PAST MONTH, THE WARD
SHE'S RUNNING FOR REELECTION IN
MORE THAN DOUBLED IN SIZE, AND
THEN SHRANK BACK DOWN TO THE
ORIGINAL SIZE, UNTIL TODAY WHEN
IT BECAME GIANT AGAIN.
THE LATEST LIKELY FINAL CHANGE
MERGES FOUR CITY WARDS INTO ONE,
PITTING WONG-TAM AGAINST FRIENDS
AND ALLIES FOR THE SEAT.
>> THERE ARE PEOPLE I'VE
MENTORED, ENCOURAGED TO RUN,
DONATED MY OWN PERSONAL DOLLARS
TO BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD
BE GOOD REPRESENTATIVES, AND I
STILL HOPE THERE IS WAY TO WORK
TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: ONE OF THE FRIENDS
PLANS TO DROP OUT RATHER THAN
RUN AGAINST WONG-TAM.
>> I WAS ACTUALLY THE
FRONT-RUNNER IN MY RACE, SO NOW
I'M LEFT OUT IN THE DARK PRETTY
MUCH.
>> Reporter: BALLOON BUSINESS
OWNER PEREZ IS ONE OF 30
CANDIDATES RUNNING AGAINST
WONG-TAM.
PEREZ IS UNDAUNTED.
>> IT'S A HUGE WARD, I'M WILLING
TO TAKE IT ON.
I THINK THOSE COMPLAINING ARE
DOING SO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
ABLE TO DO IT.
>> Reporter: SEVERAL WARDS OVER,
JIM KARYGIANNIS HAD BEEN RUNNING
AS IF THE COUNCIL WAS SMALLER
AND THE WARD LARGER, SOMETHING
HE SUPPORTS.
>> I JUST ADDED 30,000 MORE
CONSTITUENTS, IT'S A WALK IN THE
PARK.
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO IT,
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE.
IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, RETIRE.
>> HI, I'M KRYSTIN WONG-TAM.
>> Reporter: WONG-TAM IS
STICKING WITH HER PLAN TO RUN IN
HER WARD, MEANWHILE THE CITY HAS
REOPENED THE NOMINATION PERIOD
TO ALLOW CANDIDATES TO DROP OUT
OR PICK NEW WARDS.
ANOTHER TURN IN TORONTO'S
ROLLER-COASTER ELECTION.
>> Ian: JUST A REMINDER WHY THIS
MATTERS.
HERE'S A LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE
CITY COUNCIL GOVERNS.
WITH MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION
RESIDENTS, TORONTO IS THE
LARGEST MUNICIPALITY IN CANADA
AND IT MAKES THE GOVERNMENT THE
6TH BIGGEST IN THE COUNTRY.
>> Andrew: SHE IS ONE OF THE
CHINA'S MOST FAMOUS ACTRESSES,
KNOWN HERE FOR HER ROLE IN
"X-MEN", BUT TONIGHT, LI
BINGBING IS MAKING NEWS BECAUSE
SHE HASN'T VANISHED.
-- SHE HAS VANISHED.
>> Reporter: LIKE MOST
CELEBRITIES, SHE LIVED IN THE
SPOTLIGHT, FROM RED CARPET TO
MASSIVE AD CAMPAIGNS, BUT
RUMOURS AND SO MANY QUESTIONS.
>> I WOULD COMPARE HER TO
ANGELINA JOLIE, SHE'S AN A-LIST
CELEB IN CHINA.
>> Reporter: THIS VANCOUVER
MANDARIN RADIO HOST SAYS THIS
STORY IS A BIG DEAL.
FANS WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
>> I FEEL LIKE THE ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY IS SHAKEN A LITTLE BIT
AND I SEE A LOT OF CELEBS,
THEY'VE BEEN LOW KEY, NOT COMING
OUT AND SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT
THE SITUATION.
>> Reporter: SOME REPORTS
SUGGEST SHE MAY BE UNDER
INVESTIGATION FOR HIDING A BIG
PART OF HER INCOME.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE NO
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
THOUGH SOME SAY IT'S POSSIBLE
BING-BING IS IN CUSTODY.
>> IT'S EXAMPLE OF KILLING THE
CHICKEN TO SCARE THE MONTE.
>> Reporter: THIS PROFESSOR
POINTS TO AN IDIOM TO SUGGEST
THE REASON THAT HER
DISAPPEARANCE HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH TAX EVASION.
HE SAYS THE LAST POST SHE MADE
ON CHINESE TWITTER WAS FROM A
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN TIBET.
>> USING THE MECHANISMS OF STATE
ENFORCEMENT TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE
FROM TAKING POSITIONS THEY DON'T
LIKE.
>> Reporter: ARTIST AND ACT I
ACTWAYWAY WAS HELD.
PEOPLE ARE UNWILLING TO
SPECULATE.
THIS WOMAN SAYS IT'S TIME TO
FOLLOW THE PROCESS, ACCORDING TO
THE LAW.
ANOTHER SUGGESTING SHE IS JUST
TAKING SOME DOWN TIME.
THAT'S UNLIKELY.
BING-BING IS SET TO STAR IN A
MASSIVE HOLLYWOOD SPY MOVIE, BUT
HER FUTURE IS UNCLEAR AS THE
INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY NOW
LIVES UNDER A CLOUD OF
SUSPICION.
>> Andrew: LET'S GET YOU UP TO
SPEED ON OTHER THINGS ON THE
RADAR.
STARTING WITH THE
HURRICANE-RAVAGED CAROLINAS.
>> President Donald Trump:
WASHINGTON IS WITH YOU, TRUMP IS
WITH YOU, WE'RE ALL WITH YOU
100% AND WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.
>> Andrew: DONALD TRUMP
PROMISING FEDERAL SUPPORT TODAY
AS HE GOT A FIRSTHAND LOOK AT
COMMUNITIES HIT HARD BY
HURRICANE FLORENCE.
THE NUMBER OF DEAD STANDS AT 37.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE STILL IN
SHELTERS THOUGH, AND AUTHORITIES
WARN THEY'RE NOT IN THE CLEAR
YET.
RIVER LEVELS ARE STILL RISING
AND MORE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE.
POLICE WERE ON SCENE ON
IRELAND'S WEST COAST AFTER
SEVERE WINDS BLEW A TRAILER OFF
A CLIFF, KILLING A WOMAN INSIDE.
SHE WAS ONE OF TWO PEOPLE
KILLED, AS A STORM LASHED PARTS
OF THE BRITISH ISLES WITH HEAVY
RAIN AND GUSTS.
THE STORM WREAKED HAVOC,
GROUNDING FLIGHTS AND TEARING
DOWN POWER LINES.
>>> AN UPDATE TONIGHT ON THE
SEARCH OFF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
FOR TWO FISHERMEN LOST AT SEA.
THE RCMP WILL STILL KEEP
SCOURING THE SHORELINE.
THEIR BOAT CAPSIZED YESTERDAY
EVENING IN STORMY WEATHER.
A THIRD FISHERMEN WAS WON BOARD
BUT WAS ABLE TO CALL FOR HELP.
>> THIS IS AN ATTACK AT A ST.
JOHN'S HIGH SCHOOL TODAY THAT
MIGHT HAVE INVOLVED BEAR SPRAY.
WITNESSES SAY IT HAPPENED DURING
A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO RIVAL GROUPS
IN THE SCHOOL.
NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT
MORE THAN A DOZEN STUDENTS WERE
EXPOSED TO THE STRAY AND ONE
PERSON HAD TO BE -- SPRAY AND
ONE PERSON HAD TO BE TAKEN TO
HOSPITAL.
>> Ian: NEW BRUNSWICK'S NEW
PREMIER MAY NOT SPEAK FRENCH.
JUST DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION,
WE'LL LOOK AT HOW THAT IS PLAY
OUT IN THE ONLY OFFICIAL
BILINGUAL PROVINCE.
>>> NATIONAL DISPATCH TAKES US
TO A CITY IN MOROCCO AND HOW
PEOPLE ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO
FIND A WAY INTO EUROPE.
>> WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW
TICKETMASTER IS HELPING
RESELLERS GAIN THEIR OWN SYSTEM.
TO THE MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS EVENT
OR A MUSICIANS CONCERT, CHANCES
ARE YOU DEALT WITH TICKETMASTER.
THAT IS IF YOU COULD GET A
TICKET.
IT SEEMS THAT TICKET SCALPERS
USING COMPUTER BOTS SNATCH UP
THE BEST TICKETS BEFORE YOU HAVE
A CHANCE AT THEM.
NOW WE LEARNED THAT TICKET
MASTER IS WORKING WITH THE
SCALPERS.
DAVE SEGLINS USED A HIDDEN
CAMERA TO GET INSIDE.
WHAT THEY DISCOVERED,
TICKETMASTER NOT ONLY
CO-CONFERENCE -- COSPONSORED THE
CONFERENCE, IT WAS RECRUITING
SCALPERS.
THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, THE BARS, THE
GAMBLING.
WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS IS
SUPPOSED TO STAY IN VEGAS,
UNLESS, OF COURSE, IT'S CAUGHT
ON CAMERA.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
TO PEER INSIDE THE NOTORIOUS
SECRET MEETING, A CONFERENCE OF
TICKET SCALPERS.
>> WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE?
TICKETMASTER.
>> IT'S A BIZARRE THING, RIGHT?
WHY WOULD TICKETMASTER BE AT A
CONFERENCE THAT IS COMPLETELY
DEDICATED AND DESIGNED AND
GEARED TOWARD TICKET SCALPERS?
IT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE HAVE A
HARD TIME GETTING THEIR HEAD
AROUND.
TICKETMASTER IS THE WORLD'S
LARGEST BOX OFFICE.
IT CONTROLS MOST TICKETS FOR THE
BIGGEST ACTS.
IT'S FINDING NEW WAYS TO PROFIT
FROM FANS.
LOOK AT THIS.
VERIFIED RESALE TICKETS.
THIS IS THE BOX OFFICE
TICKETMASTER.
LOOK AT ALL THESE.
$1400.
$1 THOUSAND.
$1300.
$1700.
MOST PEOPLE THINK TICKETMASTER
IS THE ORIGINAL FACE VALUE
TICKETS, BUT NOW THEY'RE DOING
RESALE.
>> WE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE.
WE GOT INSIDE THE SCALPER
CONFERENCE, AN OFFICIAL NEWS
TEAM, BUT ALSO WENT UNDER COVER.
NO LONGER DAVE SEGLINS AT CBC,
BUT POSING AS A SMALLTIME TICKET
BROKER FROM TORONTO.
TICKETMASTER WAS BUSY,
SURROUNDED BY SCALPERS, SOME OF
THE PEOPLE WHO BUY TICKET BUYING
SOFTWARE AND FAKE IDENTITIES.
TURNS OUT TICKETMASTER HAS A
SECRET PROGRAMME.
A NEW ONLINE SYSTEM TO HELP
SCALPERS SELL HUGE VOLUMES.
>> Reporter: BUT IS TICKETMASTER
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR CHEATS?
THE THOSE SCALPERS WHO USE FAKE
IDENTITY?
>> I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER
TICKETMASTER IS GOING TO BE...
>> Reporter: THAT IS
TICKETMASTER TELLING US THEY
HAVE BROKERS WHO HAVE HUNDRED OF
TICKET MASSACHUSETTS TER --
TICKETMASTER FAKE ACCOUNTS AND
THEY DON'T CARE THEY'RE BUYING
UP ALL THE TICKETS.
>> THE TICKETMASTER IS MAKING IT
DEAD EASY, WITH TRADE DESK, WHAT
IT CALLS THE MOST POWERFUL
TICKET SALES TOOL EVER.
CBC GOT INSIDE, AGAIN POSING AS
A SCALPER.
WE SIGNED UP AND GOT A
DEMONSTRATION.
I TELL HIM, I'M JUST STARTING
OUT, RESELLING $100,000 OF
HOCKEY TICKETS.
>> I FEEL LIKE I'M A SMALL FISH.
>> Reporter: AGAIN, NO PROBLEM
IF YOU'RE USING MULTIPLE
IDENTITY.
>> IT'S ALAN CROSS AND NEW
SHOWS --
>> Reporter: ALAN CROSS IS A
VETERAN MUSIC JOURNALIST.
THIS YEAR, HE INTERVIEWED
TICKETMASTER C.E.O.
>> WHAT ARE TICKET BROKERS AND
HOW DO THEY GET THEIR STUFF?
>> THERE ARE GOOD BROKERS, THERE
ARE FOLKS WHO DON'T PLAY BY THE
RULES.
PEOPLE WHO USE BOTS ARE CHEATERS
AND WE DON'T LIKE THEM AND DON'T
WANT THEM IN THE SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: WE SHOWED ALAN
CROSS OUR VEGAS VIDEOS OF
TICKETMASTER'S SCALPER
PROGRAMME.
>> I HAVE HEARD OF THIS AND
THERE HAVE BEEN WHISPERS OF THIS
IN THE TICKET-SELLING COMMUNITY.
BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN OUTLINED
QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
>> SO PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT THERE
AND SEE IT AS A FORM COLLUSION.
ON ONE HAND, THEY SAY, WE DON'T
LIKE BOTS, BUT ON THE OTHER
HAND, WE HAVE OTHER CLIENTS WHO
MAY USE BOTS.
IT DOES SEEM STINKY.
>> Reporter: I KNOW YOU'RE JUST
DIGESTING THIS, BUT WHAT IS THE
RESULT FOR TICKETMASTER?
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE A PUBLIC
RELATIONS NIGHTMARE.
AND HAVING AUTHORITIES ASK
QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: IN CANADA, THE
COMPETITION BUREAU IS WATCHING,
BUT IN THE U.S., THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE HAS OPENED AN
INVESTIGATION AMIDST ALLEGATIONS
TICKETMASTER IS ABUSING ITS GRIP
ON THE INDUSTRY.
>> THEY'RE SCALPERS.
NO DIFFERENT THAN THE GUY
STANDING OUT IN FRONT OF THE
STADIUM ASKING YOU, YOU NEED
TICKETS, BUDDY.
>> Reporter: U.S. CONGRESSMAN
BILL IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CRITICS.
>> WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED ME AND
WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS
ILLEGAL.
WE DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO
STAND UP, PASS SOME LAWS, THAT
PROTECT THE CONSUMER.
THE SECONDARY MARKET IS CORRUPT
RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET
WORSE.
>> Reporter: TICKETMASTER
DECLINED OUR REPEATED REQUESTS
FOR AN INTERVIEW AND PROVIDED
ONLY A STATEMENT.
WE BELIEVE IT'S OUR JOB...
TICKETMASTER SPENT SEVERAL DAYS
IN VEGAS SCHMOOZING WITH
SCALPERS, BUT THE COMPANY WON'T
TALK ABOUT IT.
UNLESS IT SEEMS YOU'RE ON THE
INSIDE.
>> ANY QUESTION YOU THINK OF ON
YOUR WAY HOME.
>> Ian: AS DAVE MENTIONED,
TICKETMASTER GETS A CUT OF
RESALE, SO MAKING MONEY TWICE
FOR THE SAME TICKET IN SOME
CASES.
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE, TICKETMASTER
COLLECTS A FEE ON THE INITIAL
SALE, THEN WHEN THE OWNERS POSTS
THE SAME TICKET ON THE SITE FOR
RESALE, TICKETMASTER COLLECTS
ANOTHER FEE.
ACCORDING TO A COPY OF THE
OFFICIAL RESELLER HANDBOOK
OBTAINED BY CBC, THE COMPANY
SEEMS TO ENCOURAGE VOLUME
RESELLING, IT WILL KNOCK
PERCENTAGE POINTS OFF THE FEES
AS SCALPERS HIT SALES
MILESTONES.
>> Andrew: LATER ON THE
NATIONAL, WE SIT DOWN WITH
VOTERS IN NEW BRUNSWICK WHERE
THE LANGUAGE THAT LEADERS SPEAK
HAS BECOME A BIG ISSUE IN THE
ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
>> UP NEXT, NAHLAH AYED'S
DISPATCH FROM THE NORTH COAST OF
MOROCCO.
WE TRACK MIGRANT'S RISKY JOURNEY
TO EUROPE.
>> IT'S THE DOG THAT GIVES THE
FIRST SIGNAL THAT SOMEONE IS
HIDING.
THEN IT'S A MATTER OF FINDING
THEM.
>> Ian: IN MANY WAYS, THE WORLD
HAS BECOME A POPULATION ON THE
MOVE.
PEOPLE FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES
BY CONFLICT, PERSECUTION OR
DISASTER.
ALMOST 70 MILLION ACCORDING TO
THE U.N., ONE PERSON IS
DISPLACED EVERY TWO SECONDS,
THIS COMES WITH A GLOBAL IMPACT.
IT'S AN ISSUE "THE NATIONAL" IS
EXPLORIN
EXPLORING.
WE BEGIN WITH MOROCCO.
TO GET TO EUROPE, THEY HAVE TO
SMUGGLE THEMSELVES ACROSS A
HEAVILY BARRICADED BORDER.
NAHLAH AYED HAD THIS.
>> Reporter:
>> Reporter: IT IS ONLY WHEN
MELILLA'S ANNUAL FAIR IS OVER,
THAT THESE KIDS COME LOOKING FOR
A RIDE.
IT'S A YEARLY RITUAL FOR
CHILDREN TO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO
HIDE, TO RIDE ALONG ACROSS TO
MAINLAND.
FOR THOSE PACKING UP, THE
NIGHT'S TOUGHER JOB IS TRYING TO
KEEP THOSE KIDS AWAY.
>> Reporter: BUT THEY ARE
DETERMINED TO FOLLOW OTHERS TO
FRANCE, GERMANY AND BEYOND.
IN THE MID CITY, EVERY TRUCK,
EVERY CAR AND FERRY IS A CHANCE
TO LEAVE THIS LIFE IN LIMBO
BEHIND.
>> Reporter: THE CONTINENT IS
AFRICA.
BUT ON ITS EDGE IS A SLIVER OF
SPAIN.
SINCE THE 15TH CENTURY, MOROCCO
IS THERE, JUST A FENCE AWAY.
A STATUE TO FRANCO, THE DICTATOR
STILL STANDS HERE.
SO DOES MELILLA'S OLD REPUTATION
AS A COVETED GATEWAY TO EUROPE.
MIGRATION HAS LONG BEEN CENTRAL
TO MELILLA'S STORY.
YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE STREETS.
NOW AS THE MIGRANT ROUTE SHIFTS
TO SPAIN, MANY ARE COUNTING ON
MELILLA TO HAVE EUROPE'S BACK.
>> Reporter: AS A FRONTIER TOWN,
MELILLA HAS LONG BEEN WITNESS TO
MISERY.
>> Reporter: AT THIS CROSSING,
THE POOREST OF MOROCCO'S WOMEN,
MANY OF THEM CAN WORK AS MULE
WOMEN, TO EARN A FEW EUROS FOR
EACH BACK-BREAKING PACKAGE OF
DUTY-FREE GOODS THEY CARRY TO
MERCHANTS BACK TO MOROCCO.
>> Reporter: MANY OF THEM DO
THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THE SPANISH ENCLAVE, MELILLA'S
BORDER ARE PROTECTED BY THE
CIVIL POLICE WHO GAVE US ACCESS
AND A GUIDE.
THERE IS A LOT OF MIGRATORY
PRESSURE HE SAYS, AND IT'S NOT
JUST OVERLAND AS YOU CAN SEE AT
THIS FENCE, BUT THERE IS
MIGRATORY PRESSURE IN THE SEA AS
WELL.
A KEY PART OF THEIR JOB IS
KEEPING PEOPLE OUT.
AND KEY TO THAT IS A TRIPLE
FENCE THAT CONTAINS FORTRESS
EUROPE AND KEEPS AFRICA OUT.
IT STARTS AND ENDS AT THE SEA.
THIS VERSION 20 YEARS.
SIX METRES HIGH AND DESIGNED TO
MAKE IT HARD TO SCALE.
THOSE HOOKS UP THERE, TELL US
SOMEONE TRIED.
MORACCAN FORCES ALSO HELPED BY
EU DOLLARS ACT LIKE A RETAINING
WALL.
>> Reporter: THE FENCE IS
MONITORED 24-7.
MOTION SENSORS, INFRARED
CAMERAS, ALL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO
RESPOND TO AN ALARM WITHIN A
MINUTE AM ALL OF IT HAVE BROUGHT
THE NUMBERS DOWN OVER THE YEARS,
BUT WITH WORD SPREADING THAT
SPAIN IS THE BEST ROUTE INTO
EUROPE NOW, NUMBERS ARE CREEPING
UP AND PEOPLE STILL TRY THE
FENCE DAILY.
PEOPLE LIKE OSAMMA FROM YEMEN,
WHO TRIED TWICE BEFORE HE MADE
IT OVER.
THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY, HE SAYS,
I WAS TOLD THE EASIEST WAY OVER
THE FENCE.
MELILLA SAW A FEW MASS JUMPS.
THE LAST THIS YEAR WAS IN
JANUARY.
THE ONLY OTHER SPANISH ENCLAVE
DOWN THE COAST, SMUGGLERS WERE
BLAMED WHEN HUNDREDS JUMPED THE
FENCE THIS SUMMER.
A FEAT THEY CELEBRATED.
HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATES HAVE
CALLED OUT SPAIN FOR DEPORTING
SOME ASYLUM-SEEKERS WITHOUT
CONSIDERING THEIR CLAIMS.
CRITICS INCLUDE THE LOCAL
OPPOSITION.
THE SPANISH POLICE CAN NOW JUST
THROW THE ILLEGALS BACK OVER THE
FENCE, SHE SAYS.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT HELPED OR
CARED FOR PROPERLY.
AND IF THEY CAN'T GET OVER THE
FENCE, PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH
IT, OR AROUND IT, SMUGGLED BY
CAR.
JUST A DAY BEFORE OUR VISIT,
THEY FOUND A 15-YEAR-OLD IN A
CAR, IN A BLANKET, HIDDEN BEHIND
THE SEAT.
WE'VE SEEN CASES IN THE MOST
UNBELIEVABLE PLACES, LIKE DASH
BOARDS, INSIDE SPARE TIRES,
UNDER THE SEATS, EVEN INSIDE THE
FUEL TANK.
SO MANY STILL MAKE IT IN, BUT
THE MAIN TEMPORARY SHELTER IS AT
MANY TIMES ITS CAPACITY.
NO PLACE FOR FAMILIES, THEY SAY,
NEVER MIND INFANTS.
YOU MEET ALL KINDS PASSING THE
TIME OUTSIDE.
SOME ARE SMUGGLED IN ON RAFTS,
LIKE THIS MAN TO ESCAPED A HARSH
LIFE.
>> YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE SOME
RISKS SOMETIMES, BECAUSE IT IS
VERY DIFFICULT BACK THERE.
>> Reporter: AND THESE BROTHERS
FROM YEMEN, ONCE A BREAK DANCING
ACT ON ARAB IDOL, NOW REFUGEES.
>> THEY USED TO CATCH US IN THE
AMERICAN GATE, THE AMERICAN
SOLDIERS.
SO THEY USED TO CATCH US AND
BEAT US, AND WE TRIED LIKE NINE
TIMES.
UNTIL WE GOT IN.
I JUST SLEEP TWO MINUTES, THEN I
WAKE UP.
I GET SCARED.
>> Reporter: THE NEXT DAY, THEY
WERE GIVEN PASSAGE TO MAINLAND
SPAIN, WHERE THEY PLAN TO STAY.
OTHERS WAIT.
WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE, JUST A
FENCE AWAY FROM THE GOOD LIFE.
AND A BIG STEP SHORT OF THEIR
EUROPEAN DREAMS.
THERE ARE SOME SERVICES THAT
HELP THEM NAVIGATE THE LIMBO.
LIKE SAVE THE CHILDREN SPANISH
CLASSES.
AND THOUGH THERE IS A SHELTER
FOR MINORS, DOZENS END UP ON THE
STREETS, SOME ON DRUGS, AND IN A
CONSTANT CAT-AND-MOUSE GAME WITH
POLICE, AS THEY WAIT FOR A
PERILOUS JOURNEY THEY APTLY
DESCRIBE AS MAKING RISKY.
>> RISKY IS SOMETHING LIKE A
DREAM, BECAUSE IF YOU REACH
RISKY, IT MEANS YOU ARRIVED
THEN.
AND IT MEANS IN SOME CASES DAYS
WITHOUT FOOD AND WITHOUT ANY
KIND OF BEVERAGE.
AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
>> Reporter: AS THE FAIR MOVES
ON, PART OF THE RITUAL IS TO
INVITE THE MEDIA.
A CHANCE TO SHOW EFFORTS AT
PROTECTING EUROPE'S SOUTHERN
BORDER.
BY HUNTING FOR STOWAWAYS WITH
SNIFFER DOGS, EVEN A HEART BEAT
MONITOR.
>> Reporter: THE POLICE HAVE TO
BE AS CREATIVE IN SEARCHING AS
THE KIDS ARE IN HIDING.
>> Reporter: IT'S THE DOG THAT
GIVES THE FIRST SIGNAL THAT
SOMEONE IS HIDING.
THEN IT'S A MATTER OF FINDING
THEM.
>> Reporter: AND PERSUADING THEM
TO COME OUT.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
>> Reporter: IN THE BACK OF THIS
ONE TRUCK, THEY FOUND EIGHT
TEENAGERS.
THIS TEENAGER, LIKE MANY OTHERS,
LIKE MANY IN MELILLA ITSELF, IS
FROM MOROCCO.
THEIR HOPES OF AN ESCAPE TO MAKE
A LIFE IN SPAIN OR BEYOND,
CRUSHED.
PROBABLY NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME
OR THE LAST.
THE OTHERS WATCH, WAITING THEIR
TURN.
SOME INEVITABLY DO MAKE IT,
RIDING ASPIRATIONS, EVEN WALLS
FAIL TO CONTAIN.
>> Ian: AND DONALD TRUMP HAS
OFFERED A SOLUTION TO TACKLING
THE MIGRANT PROBLEM.
WHEN KING FELIPE VISITED THE
WHITE HOUSE, HE SUGGESTED
BUILDING A WALL, BUT IT WOULD
HAVE TO STRETCH 4800 KILOMETRES
AND CROSS SEVERAL SOVEREIGN
NATIONS.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE KING
RESPONDED.
>> AHEAD ON "THE NATIONAL",
TONGUE TIED IN THE PICTURE
PROVINCE.
JUST DAYS BEFORE THEIR ELECTION,
NEW BRUNSWICKERS WONDER IF
SOMEONE BE PREMIER OF CANADA'S
ONLY OFFICIAL BILINGUAL PROVINCE
IF THEY DON'T SPEAK FRENCH?
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE IN CANADA,
HAVING A PRIME MINISTER, CANNOT
SPEAK FRENCH.
>> YOU LEARN FIVE LANGUAGES
BEFORE GALLANT LEARNS TO BALANCE
A BUDGET.
>> Ian: A STORY TOMORROW NIGHT.
PUERTO RICO MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE
HURRICANE MARIA HIT.
YOU'LL MEET A MAN WHO STARTED A
MEMORIAL TO REMEMBER THE DEAD
AND THE FORGOTTEN.
>> OH, MY GOODNESS.
>> YEP.
>> COULD YOU SHOW US ANY
MESSAGES OR SHOES?
>> OK.
MICHAEL FERRER.
DIED 24 OF SEPTEMBER IN
HOSPITAL.
I THINK THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
HAS BEEN CRUEL, CYNICAL, AND THE
AMOUNT OF STUPIDITY IS
UNBELIEVABLE.
THE ONLY WORD THAT MR. TRUMP
USES, FANTASTIC.
EVERYTHING IS FANTASTIC.
AND THIS IS A FANTASTIC HUMAN
CALAMITY.
>> Andrew: TONIGHT, WE'RE
LEARNING OF SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST AN OTTAWA POLICE
OFFICER.
ERIC POST APPEARED IN COURT
TODAY ON 21 COUNTS, INCLUDING
SEXUAL ASSAULT AND FORCIBLE
CONFINEMENT.
POLICE HAVEN'T SAID MUCH ABOUT
THE CHARGES, BUT IT RELATES TO
FOUR SEPARATE VICTIMS AND
THEY'RE CONCERNED THERE IS MORE.
>> YOU'VE ALL HEARD OF A WOLF
DRESSED UP IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING,
WELL A WOLF CAN WEAR SCRUBS.
>> DISTURBING CASE IN
CALIFORNIA, A SURGEON AND HIS
GIRLFRIEND WORKING TOGETHER TO
DRUG AND ASSAULT WOMEN.
THERE ARE THREE VICTIMS AND
THERE COULD BE MORE.
THEY'VE FOUND THOUSANDS OF
VIDEOS ON THE SURGEON'S PHONE.
HE AND HIS GIRLFRIEND HAVE
DENIED THE CLAIM.
>> IT HAS BEEN A ROLLER-COASTER
OF EMOTION, AND AT THE SAME TIME
I RECEIVED AN OUTPOURING OF
LOVE, OF SUPPORT, OF PRAYERS.
>> Andrew: THAT WAS ELIZABETH
SMART TONIGHT AFTER ONE OF THE
CONVICTED KIDNAPSERS, WANDA
BARZEE WAS RELEASED AFTER 15
YEARS.
IT WAS MITCHELL WHO KIDNAPPED
SMART AT KNIFEPOINT WHEN SHE WAS
14 YEARS OLD.
SHE SAID BARZEE ENCOURAGED
MITCHELL TO RAPE HER AND BELIEFS
THE WOMAN -- BELIEVES THE WOMEN
IS STILL DANGEROUS.
>>> LET'S TURN BACK HOME TO NEW
BRUNSWICK.
THERE IS LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO
BEFORE VOTERS CHOOSE THE
PROVINCE'S NEXT GOVERNMENT.
POLLS SUGGEST OF THE MAIN
CONTENDERS, TWO PARTIES HAVE A
REALISTIC SHOT AND THEIR LEADERS
HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO MAKE
THEIR CASE.
>> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
BRENT, IT'S GREAT TO BE
INTRODUCED AS A LOCAL CANDIDATE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> IT IS FUN TO BE HERE TODAY.
>> Andrew: BRIAN GALLANT OF
BLAINE HIGGS, GETTING THEIR
MESSAGE OUT.
BUT FOR HIGGS, HE DOESN'T SPEAK
FRENCH.
THAT'S A REAL TALKING ABOUT.
WHILE FRENCH SHOULD BE A
PREREQUISITE, SAY THAT FLUENCY
IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS IS
MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.
KAYLA HOUNSELL TAKES US INTO THE
MIDDLE OF IT.
>> Reporter: WELCOME TO MONCTON,
WHERE THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN IS
OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN BOTH
OFFICIAL LANGUAGES.
>> IT'S PART OF THE FABRIC.
WE STILL HAVE QUITE A DIVIDE
BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE
FRENCH COMMUNITIES.
>> Reporter: FOR A THIRD OF NEW
BRUNSWICKERS, FRENCH IS THE
FIRST LANGUAGE.
>> THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
>> Reporter: WE'VE INVITED A
NUMBER OF POLITICALLY ENGAGED
CITIZENS TO DISCUSS THE ROLE OF
LANGUAGE IN THIS PROVINCIAL
ELECTION.
THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE -- ONE OF
THE PEOPLE VYING TO BE PREMIER
CAN'T SPEAK FRENCH.
>> COULD YOU IMAGINE IN CANADA
HAVING A PRIME MINISTER THAT
CANNOT SPEAK FRENCH?
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE LEADER
BLAINE HIGGS SAYS HE'S TRYING.
GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR THAT.
>> HE'LL LEARN FIVE LANGUAGES
BMP BRIAN GALLANT BALANCES A
BUDGET.
>> Reporter: BUT SOME DAYS IT'S
NOT ENOUGH.
>> IT'S CRITICAL THAT THE LEADER
OF A PARTY BE ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH ALL NEW
BRUNSWICKERS IN THIS CASE.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANOTHER
WAY.
>> Reporter: THE ABILITY OR
INABILITY TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE
IS ONE THING, BUT BEYOND THAT,
SOME NEW BRUNSWICKERS ARE HAVING
TROUBLE GETTING PAST THE FACT
THAT BLAINE HIGGS WAS MEMBER OF
THE CONFEDERATION OF REGIONS.
>> THE PARTY AGENDA AT THAT TIME
WAS AGAINST THE PROVINCE.
>> THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
>> Reporter: SO IT'S OK WITH YOU
IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
>> PEOPLE CHANGE.
>> Reporter: HIGGS HAS CHANGED
HIS VIEWS, HE SAYS.
THIS GROUP AGREES IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE, BUT
PROTECTING FRANCOPHONE RIGHTS
AND CULTURE.
>> WHAT THIS GOVERNMENT TRYING
TO DO?
>> Reporter: IT WOULDN'T BE THE
FIRST.
IN THE 70s AND 80s THE RIGHT
HAND MAN WAS THE FRENCH
LIEUTENANT.
>> HIS CHAMPIONS WERE REALLY
FROM THE ACADIAN COMMUNITY, SO I
DON'T THINK THAT THE LEADER
NECESSARILY HAD TO BE FLUENTLY
BILINGUAL, HE HAS TO EMBRACE
BILINGUALISM AND HAS TO
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE.
>> Reporter: FOUR YEARS AGO, THE
LIBERALS TOOK 15 OF THE 16
RIDINGS CONSIDERED FRANCOPHONE
AND THAT'S WHEN THE
CONSERVATIVES HAD A BILINGUAL
LEADER.
IT'S ANYONE'S GUESS HOW LANGUAGE
MIGHT SHAPE THE RESULT ON THIS
ELECTION NIGHT.
>> Ian: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL", THE CELEBRITY CHEF
WHO IS UNDER SIEGE FOR SERVING A
MEAL THAT WAS FIT FOR A KING.
AND IT WASN'T WHAT HE SERVED,
IT'S WHO HE SERVED IT TO.
OUR "
>> Andrew: YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF
THE NAME SALT BAE BEFORE.
HE'S A CELEBRITY CHEF KNOWN FOR
FLAMBOYANT STYLE AND SERVING
EXPENSIVE CUTS OF MEAT.
NOW HE'S BEING HIT WITH BACKLASH
OVER THE COMPANY HE KEEPS AND
THE FACT THAT HE APPEARED TO
BRAG ABOUT IT.
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
SLOOIP
THIS ANGRY CROWD OF VENEZUELAN'S
WAS OUTSIDE A STEAK HOUSE IN
MIAMI.
THEY'RE ANGRY BECAUSE HE SERVED
DINNER TO NICOLAS MADURO.
WHILE MILLIONS OF HIS PEOPLE ARE
STARVING, MADURO ENJOYED NOT
JUST MEAT AND POTATOES, BUT A
LAVISH MEAL COMPLETE WITH
SENSUAL CARVING, WITH THE BLACK
GLOVES, SUNGLASSES AND T-SHIRT.
FOOD PRICES IN VENEZUELA ARE SO
HIGH THAT MANY ARE FORCED TO
SKIP MEALS ALTOGETHER.
THE BACKLASH SHOULDN'T BE A
SURPRISE.
HIS CRITICS DO WANT TO PUNISH
HIM FOR ASSOCIATING WITH MADURO.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEAVING ONE
STAR REVIEWS WHERE THEY CAN,
TRIP ADVISOR, GOOGLE, AND WITH
HEADINGS LIKE, IMMORAL
RESTAURANT."
>> Ian: IT'S AN INTERESTING FORM
OF ACTIVISM, PROPELLED BY SOCIAL
MEDIA.
MARCO RUBIO SENT OUT NOT JUST
HIS ANGER, BUT HE ALSO LISTED
THE PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS OF
THE RESTAURANT ENCOURAGING
PEOPLE TO SHOW UP THERE.
AND WE SAW FROM THE PICTURES
THAT PEOPLE DID.
>> Andrew: AND BACKLASH MOVES
SWIFTLY, THAT'S FOR SURE.
>> Ian: THAT'S "THE NATIONAL"
FOR SEPTEMBER 19.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
