Welcome to the around the world. Im suzanne malveaux. And im michael holmes. We are going to go first of although to toronto. Rob ford, the mayor there, embattled admitting that he in fact, used crack cocaine. He is before the city council answering a number of questions. Lets listen in. That we deliver in the city. Has there been any service thats been disrupted as a result of whats been happening . Or slowed down in any manner . Simple answer, counselor, is no. So everything continued to function garbage pick up, turn on your tap, water comes out, everything, would . Thats correct counselor. When it comes to committees, have committees continued to function and chairs attending and responding to the issues and the items on those committees . They all have continued, yes, counselor. Okay. And as we know, theres a motion coming forward later. The recommendations within this motion, is there any part of this motion or these recommendations that are, in fact, enforceable or are these symbolic or are they suggestions . Have you had an opportunity to have a look at that mr. City manager . All i would say, counselor, is as they are outlined in the motion, they are requests. Theyre requests. Yes. So theyre not the same type of recommendations in other issues that we deal with, that in fact, are actions and become enforceable . This is different . Correct. Okay. Thank you, madame speaker. Thank you. Okay. So thats it for the questions. Now, well go to speakers. The mayor, mayor ford, you want to speak at the end, correct . Its your item. Do you want to speak first or do you want to speak at the end . Id like to speak first since its his item. Thank you. So counselor min anyone wong, have you five minutes. Madame chair, today the whole world is watching. What will they see . A world class city demonstrating world class values . It already knows we know longer have world class leadership. But those watching dont know yet if we can sift out of the small politics of personal gain and instead of jackying for position or advantage do the right thing. Not for ourselves, not against the mayor, but for the institution of the city of toronto and its government upon which so many of our citizens depend. If we retreat behind legalese and say that no law has been broken, no wrong has been done, we miss the point made with such urgency around every dinner table because it is known so clearly in every parents worrying heart that the values that matter most in forging the life of an individual or of a city come not from the law and justice but from clear and consistent expressions of what is write and wrong. When presented with the choice of doing the right. That is Toronto Council mann denzil minnanwong speaking now at this Council Meeting which is ahead of a motion to get the mayor, rob ford,ing to step aside to deal with his personal problems. The mayor saying hes not going to do any such thing. Paula newton is standing by to talk about this. Paula, this has just been absolutely extraordinary. I mean theater is probably the wrong word. Its a bit of an embarrassment, isnt it . Reporter its an embarrassment but also quite sad. Its an incredible tragedy. What people out here are witnessing is like an intervention, like weve all gotten off the therapists couch. This man has again and again admitted to the fact that he has done things that criminally are wrong, not just morally wrong. And this was predicted to be that kind of an inquisition. Thats exactly what were getting today. It is getting ugly. I can tell you theres been a lot of heckling, no matter who is speaking at a given time. I want you to hear now what crucially mayor ford said in answer to a direct question about his drug use. Mr. Mayor, have you purchase Illegal Drugs in the last two year years . Careful. Yes, i have. Thank you. You know, despite the fact that he admitted that there, michael, he says look, im not going anywhere. Im going to stay in this job. I can do my job when his friend, the counselor standing next to him asked him, look, are you addicted to drugs . Are you addicted to alcohol . He stood up and said categorically, absolutely not. It is going on and on here, michael. This doesnt show any sign of ending for at least a few hours. Theyll be at a lunch break soon. The mayor predicted this would happen, that he would be publicly u milliated this way. This is what hes saying is happening. Its sad for many, many people, even those angry with rob ford, many wondering if this is really appropriate. He apologized and said he spoke to his family, that hes getting professional help here. What canning this council do essentially . I mean, can they say look, do they have the power to kick him out of office . This is all pretty much an exercise in moral authority. I think thats another thing that angers many people. As much satisfaction as perhaps the counselors are getting out of this right now, it isnt going to matter for much at the end of the day. They cannot remove him from office. He says hell continue to stay in office. It doesnt matter if this motion pas. It looks like theyve got at least twothirds of the council will pass it. It will not change the fact that the mayor is in charge of the city still. Theres another motion coming which could strip the mayor of those powers. Thats coming way off in the distance. Right now everyone is completely riveted by a man essentially going through a therapy session and really is on the spot every minute answering questions like you would be in a court of law really. Suzanne. All right. Extraordinary stuff. One of the counselors there was actually asking if he would sit down and have a conversation with him to discuss his issues. He cant be its important to note in canada, the mayor of the city has not got the same powers that a mayor in the United States has got its limited. Its a little deja vu for me. I used to live in washington, d. C. Former marylandon berry on tape smoking crack cocaine going through the whole motions. Eventually he lost his job. Eventually he was redeemed. Hes still on council. He is. So you never know where it is all going to end up. Mayor rob ford in toronto not going anywhere. It looks like the council cant make him. He is going to speak later on. We will bring that to you live when it happens. At the moment, Council Members are getting to have five minutes each to basically make statements now. Thats whats happening in the council chambers. Were following this. This is an overpowering stench of death hanging in the air. This is in the philippine disaster zone five days after that monster tie upon hit. Bodies are still decaying in the sun. It is unbelievable the tragedy. The roads are blocked with debris. Survivors, you can imagine they are growing more and more desperate every hour every day. Heres the latest now. The confirmed death toll from the haiyan tie upon now stands at 2,275, although no one believes its going to stay there. Its going to go up, more people are reported missing. Bodies are still everywhere under that debris youre looking at there. Body bags have started to arrive. But sadly not enough. Authorities say 2 Million People are in need of food and water. More than 11 million overall in some way impacted by the typhoon. Tons of food from around the world have started arriving in the philippines. The World Food Program alone has brought in 2700 tons of rice, but most of the hoaxless and starving typhoon survivors, they have yet to actually receive that food aid. That is because this as you can imagine a logistical nightmare on the ground trying to get that aid to the many islands decimated by the storm. There are major logistical issues but also a lot of criticism of Central Government for not running the aftermath, the operation more efficiently. Were going to have a live report coming up from the disaster zone. Then the Justice Department is clearing the way for the Worlds Largest airline carrier.

Were monitoring events in toronto where a city Council Meeting, a bizarre city Council Meeting is underway. The mayor, mayor ford, the council wants him to step down to deal with his personal problems. Hes admitted to smoking crack cocaine. This morning he admitted to buying illicit drugs and also having drunken bings. Weve been listening to councilmen speak. His brother is actually a councilman, as well. Weve been listening to doug ford defending his brother. Listen to this because it is a unique moment inside before the city council where he challenges everyone in the room. So listen to this. Everyone in this chamber is copping across shoalyer than thou, lilly white, none of you have ever done anything wrong, have you, ever . Never. Never. The question is, have you ever smoked marijuana . Have you ever smoked marijuana . Hold it. Have you ever ever smoked marijuana its a question. Its simple. A yes or a no. Have you smoked marijuana . Point of privilege. Okay. The answer i guess is yes. The answer is yes, i guess. Counselor ford. I would like everyone else to stand up who has tried smoking marijuana. Counselor ford. The whole council will stand up. Councillor ford. Dont come across that youre holier than thou because you arent. Every one of you are not. Order. Never drank, never driven councillor ford, counselor ford everyone should be careful about throwing rocks into a glass house. Point of order. It is off. Privilege. Have you ever done illicit drugs minnanwong . I know the answer. I know the answer. You can see the brother there, of course, accusing the body of being hypocrites when it comes to drug use here. And you know, this is something that i believe theyve taken a recess. Were going to hear back from the mayor again who continue to defend himself because he says look, ive been dealing with this with my family. Im seeing a professional here. Im a hardworking guy, and he earlier today challenged everybody, those Council Members. He said i put my 13 years up against yours. Ive done a good job. He called himself a role model. He did. That councilman we were watching before who was speaking, counselman wong, is very antiford. There he is there. And he has been minnanwong. He has been gunning for the mayor on this issue and the mayor fighting back, and that question from the mayors brother was initially directed at that the Council Member there. And unbelievable. Unseemly stuff. As paula newton was saying earlier, sad in so many ways its being conducted on a public stage. Theyre trying to get him to step down, he says no way, not happening well get much more of this as theyve adjourned briefly. Theyre going to come back and try to sort this out. The mayor again will be defending himself. They dont have the power necessarily to take him out of office. No. All right. Well be right back here on around the world.

A new survey finds president obamas Approval Rating has now dropped to the lowest number since he became president. The latest Quinnipiac University polling showed 54 of voters disapprove of how the president is handling his job. Compare that to october 1st when obamas disApproval Rating was 49 . Now this comes after the disastrous roll out of the obama care website. Right now, his Approval Rating just 39 . You see it there on your screen. Now, also for the first time in quinnipiacs polling history, a majority of americans now say the president is not trustworthy. 52 say he is not honest and trustworthy. That compares to 44 who say he is. But americans think that congress is doing a far worse job actually than the president. This new gallup poll released today finds only 9 approve of the job congress is doing. 9 . It is the lowest congressional Approval Rating in the 39 years that gallup has actually asked the question. The reason that people give, the top reason here of course, its understandable is the partisanship, the bickering that is surrounding the partial Government Shutdown that happened just last month. In anyones language, 9 is staggering. I mean you could get friends and family to make up 9 . That is amazing. Right now on capitol hill actually, a Congressional Committee is grilling the man charged with fixing the flawed obama care website. Todd park is the white houses Top Technology officer. He was subpoenaed last week by the committees republican chairman, representative darrell issa. Now the white house fought to have him testify in december instead. So the administration they said, well, hes way too busy. Hes under this deadline to get the site fixed in two weeks. So they lost that battle. Heres what park said today about the improvements that theyre making on the site. Getting better week by week. Some days are better than others. If you look at the trend line, things are getting better. One metric of the User Experience is called system response time, the rate at which the website responds to user requests like displaying a page that you want. Just a few weeks ago, that rate was on average eight seconds across the system which is totally unacceptable. Its now actually under a second today. Meanwhile, were hearing more evidence that the website may not be fixed by the end of the month as planned. Joe johns joining us from washington. Dana bash is on capitol hill. Joe, lets start with you. The same question weve been asking for weeks. Anything about when this website could be fixed . No real specifics on that, but we do know the administration has said repeatedly the website will be functional for the vast majority of americans by the end of this month. Clearly, that suggests it wont be perfect by the end of the month. The administrations been saying that for more than a week now that the system can process up to 17,000 registrations an hour. Also important i think to point out that theres been a decidedly political tint to all of the testimony and the questions today. One of the senior members of the Committee Even bringing up that comment that former president clinton made just yesterday that the administration needed to make good on its promise that anybody who wanted to have their insurance could keep it. Listen. Its kind of interesting to see as obama care implodes how everybodys running for cover. Yesterday, we saw the former president of the United States, bill clinton, throw the current president under the bus, so to speak on this issue. So a lot of politics in this hearing, as you might expect. Michael and suzanne. Of course, democrats were hearing them and heard the reference to former president bill clinton that in fact, he according to one lawmaker threw the president under the bus. Dana bash joining us from capitol hill. What does it look like . It seems like youve got a list of people, a long line that are starting to hammer, weigh in on this and hammer the president on this issue. Look, exactly. And youre exactly right. And that is because from the democrats point of view, they want this problem. All of these problems fixed because theyd like this law. And politically, they are on record for the most part voting for this law. So that is why they are eager to get it fixed. Im told just this morning, there was a private meeting here on capitol hill with administration officials, and House Democrats really let these officials have it, very frustrated. I was told that the meeting got pretty heated. Obviously, house members in general are known as are not known as people who will hide their complaints. Its not that unusual but im told specifically on the question of whether people can keep the plan if they like it, that is a very big political challenge for democrats because House Republicans have a bill, theyre going to put it on the floor on friday. And House Democrats want to have some kind of alternative whether its the administration doing it executively or if they cant if theyll come up with something they think democrats can propose or put out there legislatively. They want some alternative because they feel a lot of pressure to vote for a republican bill, many of them, that the administration insists would completely undermine it the whole system. Dana bash, joe johns, thank you very much. They want this resolved as quickly as possible because its starting to impact the democrats, their own party and how theyre viewed and obama health care. Elections respect that far away. People have short memories. The shutdown and the damage that did to the republicans might be getting shifted onto the democrats now. When we come back, this story is, just continues to stun and amaze with what you are seeing there on the screen. Homes just varnished. Debris everywhere. People homeless. Bodies in the street. It has been five days since the typhoon hit the philippines. We are just now seeing the full impact on the ground. How the hardest hit area looks. It is like a war zone. We still run into problems.

Were keeping our eye on a few things right now. In toronto, mayor rob ford predicted he would get a public flowing today, the first day before the city council since he admitted smoking crack cocaine and he predicted correctly. Council members let him have it with both barrels and hit him with some very direct questions. Mr. Mayor, have you purchased Illegal Drugs in the last two years . Be careful. Yes, i have. Thank you. Rob ford has said again and again that he would not step down as mayor of toronto. And he repeated that today, as well. He even predicted he would win reelection next october. Hmm. Well, five days ali velshi supertie upon haiyan decimated parts of the philippines aid just trickling in into the hardest hit areas. Storm survivors growing desperate every day with each passing day. The numbers are just staggering. Imagine this. We were talking about more than 11 Million People directly affected by this storm. As many as 2 million of them are in need of food and water. Tons of food from around the world have started arriving in the philippines, but theres now a shortage of aircraft and trucks to get them out to the people who need it most. People who have gone for days without food and many of them without water, as well. Lets go live to the disaster zone. Anna coren part of our team is in cebu. Anna, reports of survivors so desperate for food that the situation has turned violent, even deadly. There have been reports of gunfire. Criminals getting involved in taking the food. What is the latest there . Reporter yeah, michael, were getting the same reports. There was apparently a stampede at a aware house that was stocking rice, and eight people were killed. You know, michael, its not surprising that this level of desperation has led to this. Recently, we were out with the military on an aid drop in goian in Eastern Province the first town hit by super tie fan haiyan. And people raced to the airfield once we landed. Theyre desperate. They have been without food, without clean water, without basic necessities for days now. They are scavenging whatever remains they can find and they were basically begging us. They need help. We were on the ground for all of 20 minutes delivering supplies. There were bags of rice, there were pallets of bottled water but perhaps it was enough to go around for several hundred families. There were 50,000 people in this township. And much of this area has not been accessed. So that just gives you an idea of the level of frustration of confusion, of desperation really here on the ground. That is only one township. So people are taking desperate measures. They are taking matters into their own hands and sadly, that is leading to violence. That is leading to looting. And you know, when we did travel to that particular township, there were several dozen police on that plane there to really restore law and order, michael. Anna coren there in cebu. Thanks so much. One of the hard things about this too, youre talking about security and people who left their homes who cant come back. Theres no place to go. No place to go at all. They had bad weather. There was a lot of rain in the last 24 hours. People couldnt go inside because there is no inside in tacloban. There is nothing left. U. S. Troops are joining the mission to try to help the people in the philippines. Marines are stationed in okinawa now bringing tons of food. Airplanes capable of delivering it to the people in some remote areas we have been talking about. They have been cut off from communications or any way really to seek some shelter and to get some place safer. We need more people to help. Is this what you call okay . Theres no okay. Theres no okay here. All the dead bodies over there, au underneath the galvanized Metal Roofing and wooden debris. It stinks over there. Really. You really dont blame them for being angry. Five days in, a lot of people have had no aid. While aid organizations are doing the best they can given the damage they have to deal with to get the stuff out of there, a lot of people saying the Central Government acted too slowly, has not done enough to coordinate this. Now you have a health crisis. There is no safe water and food and there are bodies in the streets. If you would like to help, you can do something about this, the people who have been impacted by the storm want you to do this. Check out our website to see how you can lend a hand. There are many different ways. Cnn. Com impact. You can make a difference here. Well be right back. For those nights when its more than a bad dream, be ready. For the times you need to doublecheck the temperature on the thermometer, be ready. For high fever, nothing works faster or lasts longer. Be ready with childrens motrin. So when coverage really counts, count on nationwide insurance. Because whats precious to you is precious to us. Love, love is strange just another way we put members first. Because we dont have shareholders. Join the nation. Baby. Nationwide is on your side so right now on capitol hill, the house subcommittee on intelligence is meeting. We can actually show it to you or tell you who is there yet. That is a secret. But we do know its part of an ongoing quest for answers about the terror attack on the u. S. Consulate in benghazi, libya. Drew is here to talk a little bit about what we suspect is going to happen in that room. Who is on the hot seat today . My sources, if theyre correct, these house members are going to be hearing from three members of the cias Security Team that were in benghazi the night of the attack and suzanne, and michael, these would be the people that actually led a kind of renegade rescue mission in these two black suvs. They were assigned to the cia annex. Their job was to protect the cia in whatever mission the cia was conducting in benghazi. Theres a lot of questions just about that. Thats who we think are behind closed doors testifying. That does include the leader of this Security Team. Its a fiveman team. We think its three people involved, all of them contracted to protect the cia. Youve got of course, powerful senators blocking appointments, president ial appointments because of this and saying they want answers. So much of this has been so political. You know, the real question to me anyway is why was the ambassador there on such an anniversary . The decision to even go . Whats your sense about the politicizing of this. You know, i think you capital look at this in a vacuum. Theres a lot of animosity up on capitol hill between primarily republicans in congress and the administration. On all matters. They think theyre not getting the truth on the rs, the fast and furious, the obama care issues. This is yet again one more issue which they feel they have had really not all the details. And that includes the details of before, what was the cia doing there . What was the ambassador doing there on that day in why were there not military assets in a position to save him during the attack, who if anybody withheld any kind of rescue . And after the fact, you know, one of the Big Questions they have is why havent more people been arrested in this attack. Those are real legitimate questions that i have been told these congressmen want. There also is a strong element of mistrust and politicizing going on, as well. Do you think well get those kinds of answers . Are we going to hear the same thing weve heard from some of those in congress saying this is the reason why former secretary of state Hillary Clinton cant run in 2016 and become president . Are we going to get to the meat part of this, do you think . I think that the congressmen involved on this committee will now get to the meat part. They want to interview people who were on the ground in benghazi, not their bosses who are getting filtered information, but the question is now its in this Intelligence Committee where all this stuff is supposedly secret. I think the best were going to learn is whether or not these congressmen and fraps senator graham are now satisfied with the answer they have. Drew griffin here. Thank you, drew. Justice department is now clearing the way for the Worlds Largest airline carrier. How this marcher between American Airlines and usa airwas could impact how much it coughs to fly.

A new poll finds in a matchup of president , were talking about this already, 2016, were still three years off, Hillary Clinton and new jersey governor chris christie, this poll found they would actually tie each other. So check it out. This is the poll Quinnipiac University. About 43 of American Voters would back republican governor chris christie. 42 would vote for former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Now, clinton actually leads other possible republican candidates by 9 points. Including senator rand paul, senator ted cruz, and congressman paul ryan. Were already talking about it. We are. One more hurdle has been cleared meanwhile for what may soon be the Biggest Airline in the world. The Justice Department, we talked about this here yesterday, opening the door for American Airlinesen and us airways to become one big super airline. What does that mean for you. Got to bring in our richard quest. What does it mean . Were all flyers. We love to travel. Are we talking about higher ticket prices, skinnier aisles, bigger seats . What do we know . I think thats what everybody wants to know. In terms of the second part of your question, no, absolutely. There will be more aircraft. American airlines has put in the largest single order for aircraft, more than 400 narrow body planes. Theyre taking delivery of one new plane each week. And all the airlines in the United States, delta, american, united are all spending huge sums of money on refurbishing what are, frankly, rather aged and tired interiors. Now, on the fares front, yes, there will be an effect. Slightly less competition. But i dont see theres going to be a massive rocketing up in prices. Instead, i think what this consolidation will do, and what the industry seems to think it will do, it will create certain definite areas of competition. Some people will pay a bit more, but ultimately i think competition will keep prices under control. Look at youll see there, in that graph, you see perfectly matched united 15 of market share. Delta 16. 3. The new usair wears american has 20 . But it wont be long before southwest and jetblue and Virgin America are all nipping at their feet to try and take some of that. You know, i always like your thoughts on this because im just one of the punters sitting down the back end of the plane and everything. But i dont know. Your gut feeling is when they all consolidate as we put it, i dont know. Im immediately suspicious. Yeah. But theyre not making much money. Get over it i mean, the margins that Airlines Make at the moment is pitiful compared to the amount of revenue that they bring in. Yes, they may make 400 million or 300 million in a quarter, but theyre bringing in billions of dollars in revenue. Their margins are wafer thin. Oil is 30 to 40 of that ircost. Another 30 odd goes to labor. Theyve got antiquated air Traffic Control systems. Any idea that this is some ridiculous cash cow of an industry spewing out money wherever it can is absolute nonsense. This is an industry that if you were starting from scratch, you would put your money in a sock under the bed because frankly, you would have lost more money with airlines than you would ever have made. Richard, mou do you explain the fact that were all crammed in there at this point. You dont get the blanket, you dont get peanuts. You dont get anything. Youre nickel and dimed. How do explain whats happening 0 to us, the passengers . Economics. Too bad. Thats what youre saying what do you want . What do you want, suzanne . I know what you want. I want a back rub. You want a seat. You want a meal. You want a blanket. You want to have extra room around you. You want but you dont want to pay for it. And then somebody comes along, a southwest or a spirit and says, well hang on. You dont need that. We wont charge you for it but somebody else will. You cant have it both ways. This is an industry that was born in the last century. It matured late in the century. And is still losing money at the first whiff of geopolitical problems. Yeah. Youre right. Oh, and and dont forget. While the u. S.

Max foster is our royals correspondent in london. Tell us whether or not was she ever hacked to begin with . Well, theres no evidence of that. But whats interesting about this charge on going and complicated trial is at the very center of it is lots of evidence from a private investigator hired by the news of the world. Hes admitted to hacking. What they found in his offices in 2006 was a piece of paper, a handwritten piece of paper, the title of it was target evaluation, with it 1 names which included Kate Middleton, obviously the duchess of cambridge now. No evidence she was actually hacked but it does appear she was a target. Thats the case that the prosecution are making at least. Also on the list, various other people, very close to the royal family. So two senior members of staff in prince harrys household. Also one of prince harrys very close friends. So glen mull care providing a lot of information coming out here, some of it circumstantial but the case the prosecution is making is there was a Clear Strategy here, a plan of action who theyre going to hack and how. Theyre looking very much into proving that planning side of it. Surprising names on there. Angelina jolie, not her name but an interesting link. Yeah, and actually, this whole bit about Kate Middleton was part of that case they were making. Theyre not saying kate was hacked but they are saying that Angelina Jolies body double was hacked. Shes called eunice. They were friends at the time. And she talked about how she constantly had these problems accessing her voice mail and the access code to it. She struggled to get it right. And the prosecution say that evidence in mull cares office showed that he had access to her voice mail. So stories about the relationship that Angelina Jolie may or may not have had with brad pitt are linked into this. Theyre suggesting that the paper got this information from hacking the body doubles voice mail. So were getting a Bigger Picture of what the prosecution is actually claiming in this trial.
