8:00 pm
hi everyone, thanks for tuning into this hour we bring you tomorrow's news tonight. we have our great lineup of reporters to share their scoops. here with me, we have -- danny freeman, diane gallagher, and omar jimenez. and we have a lot to talk about because there are new developments, tonight, and the trump special counsel investigation. sources tell cnn that jack smith was not asking questions about the -- surveillance tapes from mar-a-lago, and whether they could have been tampered with. meanwhile, the biden administration faces a ticking clock on two winning crises. title 42 is about to end, which could lead to a surge of migrants and the death of it is coming dangerously close to the fault. so let's find out what's next. melanie, tell us what's happening in the special council meeting.
8:01 pm
>> you know, there is an old saying in washington. it's not the crime, but the cover-up. so we already knew that the special counsel was looking into trump's handling of classified documents. we now know that they were looking to how they handled security footage in mar-a-lago, and whether it was tampered, whether was withheld. so that is a sign that the investigators are strongly looking into possible obstruction of justice charges. and then our fabulous colleagues, paul reid, and caitlin polantz found out that there are two senior trump level organization employees who are gonna go before the special counsel tomorrow. that's on the lookout for. and they are expected to be asked about that footage. and that reason why that was just so important, because they can really shed light on how this documents were handled. cnn reported that there is a footage of this other truncated who is running out boxes of documents from a storage closet. and so this is a very significant step in the investigation. it's a sign that they're getting closer and closer to
8:02 pm
trump's inner circle. >> these are surveillance tapes, because he had a home security system. so they were just on at all times, cameras were on a all times at the room with these documents were supposed to be kept? >> specifically in mar-a-lago. and these two witnesses that are going to be called before the grand jury were in charge of security operations. and they had intimate knowledge of the intimate workings of mar-a-lago and that's why they're such crucial witnesses. the question is, where the conversations about whether to withhold information? with questions about tampering with it? it's important because it came after there was a subpoena from that security footage. those are the questions that investigators are going to be looking into. >> you know these officials are? are they household names? >> they have fabulous names. matthew calamari senior and matthew calamari junior. >> they do sound-alicious. >> great names. but they are two longtime trump employees. matthew senior was a senior vice president, his life was really subsidized by the trump
8:03 pm
organization, and his son was the head of security operations. so they would have a lot of knowledge about exactly how that footage was maintained and what went down afterwards. >> all right, now tell us the update that we need to do for what's happening next with the title 42 -- >> so, the biden administration is bracing for the fallout and a potential surge of migrants at the border. they know that this can be a political liability for them. so they are taking some preventive steps to try to mitigate the fallout. one thing that they're doing is they setting active duty troops -- but to try to free up some resources from other law enforcement down the border. he also struck the border down in mexico or mexicans tenure receiving non mexican migrants were turned away at the border. that's a trump era policy that was being lifted. so they know that this is a logistical challenge, but it's also political challenge. because however biden handles this he's going to be getting a
8:04 pm
coming from the rights, from the left, the progressives who don't want him to return to this trump era policy. they want to make sure the conditions at the border are humane and so he is walking into a potential land mine. but the fact of the matter is, we are talking about this earlier. without the help of congress, there is very little he could do on his own. so his hands are tied. >> we mentioned from the left, this is also a potential, and it already is, humanitarian crisis. so, it's not just political because of the presidents situation here they have to be careful about how this plays out from the left. >> that is absolutely part of the calculation for the biden administration, and how they're going to handle this. it is going to be a factor, potentially, in this 2024 election in terms of congress there have been efforts in the past to try to adjust this. he's not the first president to have to deal with this. it happened from trump, they happen for obama, they came close in 2013, in congress, and
8:05 pm
getting a deal. they actually pass something but they ended up failing in the house and part of the problem is congress is just so polarized nowadays. along those lines this isn't just happening hit there so many other steps he links on both sides. is there a scenario where the fight over how immigration was handled seeps into other issues they feel confident to be able to compartmentalize. >> as soon as i said it, there is no way. >> i mean, they're absolutely right. these debates did happen to each other. when they had, for example, a funding deadline. they will try to stop and other priorities and one of the things that republicans on the hill are clambering for is more border security. but that's something they're gonna fight for in the spending. and in terms of the debt
8:06 pm
ceiling, i mean, there's just a whole host of things that could really get wrapped up and that debate. whether it's energy policy, border security, i mean there's a whole list of things they want to tackle. >> >> we talk about two different things. you just think biden thinks. the trump issues at mar-a-lago and now the debt ceiling and immigration. from your framework of how your covering, and looking towards 2024. well the normal campaign issues of the economy and immigration be the focus? or what these abnormal indictments be more the focus of 2024? the other sense right now? >> the conventional wisdom, usually, is that the economy, at the border, those issues will matter. but we have heard that, time and time again, last summer that this is going to be the gas and groceries election. what we found, in the midterms, is that abortion matters. threats to democracy mattered. so i think it's going to be really hard to say what is going to matter. but the economy, always, the top issue. >> isn't it always interesting in terms of the border that
8:07 pm
president biden is going to search the border with active duty national guard -- national guard or military. and that is what president trump did to. and president trump to title 42, and president biden has kept it in place. and so there is all of these, obvious partisan rancor's when neither side does it. but at the end of today, there only so many tools in the kits that the president can do without congress do anything. and it's funny to hear, democrats are fine with that now, but when president trump doesn't vice versa. >> the other interesting point you bring up here is that immigration policy, right now, is being set by court rulings. it is not being set by lawmakers passing laws. that is another part of the problem. i think everyone agrees that are immigration system is broken. it is outdated. but the problem is they can't agree on solutions of how to solve it. >> yeah, that's a really tough one. meanwhile, as you say, what is
8:08 pm
the plan? >> they are already starting to call down to different cities that are expecting to get this flux of migrants. potentially next week. and also this uptick in the summer. they are assuring that they're going to do everything they can to ensure that the conditions are humane. but it remains to be seen in an incredibly tricky position that biden isn't. and it's not, there's not a simple way to handle it. >> they're offering additional assistance to the city's? >> that is a thing, the cities have kept asking. especially these blue states cities where the governor of texas has been letting migrants. why -- we need more resources. that has been a very very chief concern for them about how they're going to handle this. i mean you just don't have a lot of options at their disposal right now. >> yes, as you know, governor abbott is sort of making i think, political hay about saying you call yourself sanctuary cities, where you go. >> it's interesting, you mentioned the double standard,
8:09 pm
it means one thing in one administration another thing in another. i was at the border and san diego, the military came down the trump administration. they're putting the barbwire up. it was a big show. the biden administration, though, was very clear to say that this is just administrative. there was some preemptive -- there would be sitting behind desks helping the national guard that is already there. again -- >> that's interesting. do you know that they were playing a different role? >> i think it is unclear. they are definitely sending the troops down and saying that it will be administrative, like i said, and the reason is so that they can free up some of the sources where the border patrol and other law enforcement agencies don't have to waste the resources doing that. we have to see how this plays out. it is one thing to say it is going to look one-way and we will have to see if they actually follow through. >> thank you for all the reporting. really great information. thanks for all, that what should of course. okay, meanwhile, the suspect in the deadly shooting in midtown atlanta's underestimate. he was captured inside a gated condo community, after barking

so, they can have more success tomorrow. ♪ one thing leads to another ♪ 24-year-old, dion patterson, underestimate after police say he shot a woman to death and injured four others at a northside medical facility and atlanta. the woman who was killed has been identified now as 38-year-old amy st-pierre. she worked for the cdc. cnn's omar is on the story. how did he captured? >> as you heard from one of reporters on the ground there in the atlanta area. this happened near jewish park which is where they play at a condo complex. as we understand there was a woman who heard dogs barking near the pool area of this condo complex. so much so that she was gonna
8:15 pm
suspicious that there were bark and something so she called the tip, many people in the cobb county area at which just now and downtown atlanta have known that the should have been seen in the area. they call it in, please come to the scene, they go check out that area and sure enough they start yelling get down, get down, cut down and they take the shooter in the custody. this came after hours the shooting force happened a little bit after noon, or so. walked into the northside hospital system in midtown atlanta and, as we understand, the 11th floor waiting room. immediately he started shooting after getting agitated in some way. we don't know exactly what that agitation may have been. five people were shot, one was killed as we just identified, amy st-pierre, that 38-year-old cdc employee. they were taken to the hospital in critical condition, one in stable condition. obviously the initial news of
8:16 pm
this. and not knowing where this person was for hours on and created a really tense situation and a nerve wracking one for a lot of people in the city. >> we've been talking to this week about other manhunts. this is just been a nightly gig for you. and we've been reporting on it tonight. tell us what it is like when your reporting on a man hunt, when there is some sort of active or armed and dangerous shooter. where do you begin? when the police are looking for someone, how are you reporting on that? >> it is a combination of things. one, you are looking at, potentially, the person is still in the immediate area and looking with the police movements are going to be. sometimes, when a large amount of police show up to a presence it is not necessarily because they need all the police. it's because they might need that police. so, it is a lot easier to sort of paired down those forces spent a ramp up -- >> so they have a show of force and you're looking at that in trying to forgot what is going on because, obviously, they
8:17 pm
have a barricade or whatever. >> of course, of course. and then, if this shooter is in the immediate area, or if there is another scene you might start to see people peeling off. if there's another shooting, or a sighting, a carjacking in this case. you know. so those are the things you are looking for. you are also looking at social media as well. police are also looking at social media, sometimes you may see a video that bystander posted 30 seconds, or a minute after they posted it. so you might say, oh, this looks like something. maybe we should get. there you start using the scanner traffic and it seems like police are going. their soup and just looking and being aware of your surroundings. i will say, it is a different dynamic when the person is still on the loose, versus, they've either been killed or arrested. because, you, as reporters. you don't even know if they're gonna come back to the scene where you are all are. yes, exactly. exactly. so that changes the dynamics
8:18 pm
exponentially. >> so you are never trying to get ahead of the police? you get a tip, if you find out from, say, a family member. are you going, or ever going someplace that the police aren't yet? >> i would not recommend it. i think it just depends on the type of situation, for example, the way gary tuchman reported about the canned from the women. that is one of the best case scenario because you are now getting information that the police haven't put out yet, even though the situation has been resolved. because i, personally, don't want to come across some who may be armed and dangerous just for the sake of beating a newscast or getting, you know, trending on twitter. or whatever it may be. it is just not worth it. >> there's also a lot of false alarms to in the situation. two weeks ago, if you remember, there was a story of a man who got upset with the basketball that rolled into his yard and
8:19 pm
began shooting at a neighbor, and shot a six-year-old child and father. the mother, another person. he was on the loose for today's and people in the neighborhood kept saying they couldn't sleep, they were afraid, they were scared. you are out in that neighborhood with them. they were afraid to be in their homes. we were out there live with a basketball, you know, goal. and i remember -- >> is interacting with some days on the loose and you are reporting? >> in some cases, yes. but there's a moment where, suddenly, there's a lot of activity, and everyone started freaking out. a woman drove in it said they locked down the school, they think he might be in the area. it was a false alarm, everyone was jumpy, in these cases, that is about reporting this to. you have to be careful about everything with a grain of salt. you have to re-check, check, and check. as people get grumpy everyone sees something that might not be it's. but everything is a tip. you have to follow through on that stuff. if not, sometimes you do have to send that over to law enforcement to let them know to. >> that's one of the things that the cop county chief talked about today is that part
8:20 pm
of the difficulty was because they had blasted his picture outs and they're making sure the communities where. people weren't doing the good thing and calling in tips. but not all of those tips were, as the chief described, setting officers this way and one cents, setting up just another way. they were having to decipher, okay, which one feels right? which one is matching up with the area that we think he's in based on our our lakes. >> i say the last time we are talking about the man hunt in texas. i mean, when you talk about the danger in the nerves as the reporter going in, little on forsman. i mean, i've seen situations where it ends in a shoot out, right? there's a situation philadelphia where man watch until hospital, shot a coworker, fled, and it was later on in the morning that he ended up having a shootout with police. i mean, that's how you can get really frightening. a lot of times you don't get the suspect apprehended without
8:21 pm
something like that. especially if it's weird to be talk about a mass tooting that starts this entire an incident. so that is really frightening for, again, the law enforcement searching for them. neighborhoods that aren't sure. >> and journalist. >> lots of people been caught in crossfire. there are times when you have to make that calculation of trying to protect their own safety versus doing your job. i was actually in the capitol on january 6th. i was part of the group that was in the house chamber. we were in lockdown they told us to get underneath our chairs, that's recover, but on gas mask, and remember sitting there thinking, houses even happening? i started tweeting, i know my family was not happy that i was using precious battery to tweet of the news but i am -- or as traumatic as that was for me in the country i'm so happy that i documented the truth. i was able to get it out there especially cars in the aftermath we saw that person tried to lie about what happened. >> but in that moment how scared were you? >> i think i was too scared -- i was in shock. i don't realize how scared i was. for me, the scare is almost in
8:22 pm
the sink into two or three days later when i was experiencing ptsd because you just running on intel adrenaline, you're trying to report the news. >> they came back that night tried to certify the election and then a few days later is all about approach meant. the second i stopped moving as when i -- >> i think it happens to all of us. whatever hurricanes or deterrence. whatever situation we're thrown into. that the job itself becomes a little bit of a distraction to the actual insanity that is going on around you. because your friends watch and be like, oh my god, are you okay? and i'm like what, you talking about? >> and i do think it does give us a little bit of false prado. or here i'm thinking i'm just doing my job, i'm doing my job, as things are flying around you from a hurricane. a vehicle flips over there, active shooter somewhere. and, obviously, everyone takes precautions. thanks for explaining all of that, it's really interesting to hear. all right, north carolina republicans have passed a bill to limit most abortions after

8:28 pm
this just happened moments ago, so what now? >> within this past hour the north carolina state house passed this 12-week abortion ban. now, i want to be very clear, the billets of is about 26 hours old, currently, right now. it is one step away from going to the governors desk. they introduced this bill late last night, it went to a committee hearing in the morning. and was already in the house with a vote, tonight. the republican party in north carolina has felt quite empowered with this new super majority that they have. this is something that if you had asked people, a year ago, with a be able to do this? they would say no, they're not gonna do this, it's not the climate. it is happening, and it is happening at a rapid pace. >> because a democrat switch parties to give them a supermajority. this particular abortion bill, we talk about a 12-week band with the mid acceptance. so 20 weeks, exceptions for rape and incest victims. 24 weeks for what they call life limiting fetal anomalies.
8:29 pm
also they, have exceptions for the life of the mother for physical risks. it also has lots of new steps, requirements, restrictions for abortion care including, medication abortion. we are talking about multiple doctors appointments that have to be done, in person. the medicine would have to be prescribed in person. then we have to come back to take it, and then come back again for a follow-up appointments and the doctors can have penalties because of this. so, there is a lot in this bill. republicans have said this is, in their, words mainstream. they've added the exceptions people have asked for but they want to put some guardrails on things. democrats are saying that this is, again, a slippery slope. but there's also so much at stake in the state of north carolina. as you mentioned, this probably would not be happening if they hadn't had that switch of parties. >> i want to talk about this woman because i interviewed one of her opponents. this is fascinating. so she was a lifelong democrat,
8:30 pm
in fact, she was an abortion rights advocate, as i understand it. her name is trisha -- >> trisha cotham. >> you have been reporting on her for years? >> yes, in fact, i counted live about five miles away from where her district is. so i covered her in local news, ten years ago, when i worked in charlotte. and she was very very into abortion rights. she was very into women empowerment as well. there is a moments in 2015 where she spoke on the house for when north carolina was issuing a seven-hour waiting period. she talked about her own experience with an abortion. i think we actually have the clip to play. you can hear what she said in 2015. >> good, let's do. it because we change tonight. let's listen to this. >> abortion is a deeply personal decision. it should not be a political
8:31 pm
debates. my womb, and my uterus, is not up for your political grab. legislators do not hold shares and my body. so stop trying to manipulates my mind. >> so fast forward eight years to tonight as she voted -- >> i'm glad to do you want better. fast forward to her campaign to run for office, as a democrat. just in the past year. in november. >> literally, yes. she was sworn into office in january. on a pro abortion rights platform where her goal was to -- there was a tweet literally one year ago today. where she talked about her priority being to codify roe v. wade into the north carolina constitution. she has talked about this. she is currently a sponsor on a bill that still exists in this
8:32 pm
session for codifying roe versus right. and tonight she votes in favor for an abortion ban with limits. how did she explain that? >> she is not talked about it yet. however, she has talked to why she switched her party. and she has spoken to some local media where she began to sort of soften her position a bit on abortion. saying that, look, i'm not just the abortion lady, essentially. i can have a nuanced view on things. and politicians can evolve. but this is not being received well. i think we may have some sounds of her explaining why she switch parties. i know you know about this but maybe not everyone else does. >> at a turning point for me. was when i was criticize for use in the american flag on the crane dance emoji on all my social media platforms. and even on the back of different vehicles that i have. i really cannot believe that was the conversation that was happening at that time.
8:33 pm
and i was deeply offended. >> that was the turning point? some emojis? >> yes, she, essentially has said that she felt bullied out of the party. i will tell you that some of the comments she has made have been fact-checked by the incredible state house journalists in north carolina. they have said that a lot of her comments are just, not legit. they are out of order. that is not how something may have happened. but she did vote in favor of this today. there is a catch though, alison. another catcher. super majority. she gave the house of the north carolina state house. the senate already had a supermajority. so when she switched parties. the governor, a democrat for north carolina right cooper had basically recapped his veto power. however, tonight's, in this vote, one republican did not votes. representative ted, davis, out of new denver county.
8:34 pm
so two democrats didn't votes. so i told him what to do some math there. so if the vote tonight was exactly the same as it was for an override it would go through. they would override the governor's veto. however, if those two democrats tonight's, who did not vote. chose to vote not to override. but that republican chose to continue to abstain, the democrats would be able to sustain the governor's veto. governor roy cooper has vowed to veto this already. >> i see, so he's gonna go to go to the governor's desk. that is gonna go back, and then we have to see -- >> yes, they have the power to do it with a full super majority. but the law north carolina requires three fifths of the present and voting members to be there. so if you're gone it produces that number. if you don't vote, it reduces that number. so, we are dealing with the tiniest of margins. something that is so
8:35 pm
substantial, and so consequential for peoples lives. >> as you say, it is something that she campaigned on. so i can only imagine, we are based out of time. but her constituents, you lived there. how do they feel about her about-face? >> i will know she's not my representative in that area. i live close. there's a lot of shock and anger. she represents a blue area. so they think there's a lot of people feel that they sort of got hoodwinked, almost? she just ran, and she ran on this platform, she ran on the lgbtq protection platform, and voted for a bill that would limit trans students playing in women sports. all these things seems antithetical to her exact platform from a couple of months ago. and even her actions in the house from a few weeks before she switched. now, again, north carolina doesn't have a recall option either. there is no recourse for her constituents. they just have to wait until the next election. >> we have a little bit more
8:36 pm
time, you guys have any other questions? >> is there political reason for a shift? is your district to change? the schwann run statewide? i'm trying to think what the reasoning could've been for this. >> there are some hints at the very beginning of the session when she was given a chair by the republican speaker of the house. she was one of two democrats receive a chair. but there doesn't seem to be a moment, at least, there is, no donations or anybody at this point has tracked down, there is no anything beyond the fact that she says like she felt bullied out of her party. she felt like things were changing. >> we have to go, but i think she was off of the chair ship -- >> and also i heard she got a really big office. that's all i heard. i will also note that she is a very big proponent of school choice, which is very much a republican platform in that state. and she has been able to push through that head project. actually very recently.
8:37 pm
>> all right, thank you very much for all of that. helping us with this breaking news. okay, it sounds like something out of the 19th century but very modern problem. children, as young as ten years old, working sometimes until 2:00 in the morning. danny is working the story for us is gonna tell us more next.

8:39 pm
or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? try nervive nerve relief from the world's number one nerve care company. nervive contains ala to relieve nerve aches, and b-complex vitamins to fortify healthy nerves. try nervive. and, try nervive pain relieving roll-on.

in 2022, nearly 4000 minors were found to be employed in violation of child labor laws. that is up 37% from 2021. more than $4 million in civil penalties was assessed for violations of child labor laws in 2022. that is up 29%. 688 miners were found to be employed in a legally hazardous occupations in 2022, that is up 26% and danny is here to explain. danny, what happened at mcdonald's? >> this headline, i think, really screams across the country with the department of labor came out with this. i'll explain as best as i can. because of news a couple of different layers what's going on here. department of labor's wage and hour division announced they found three mcdonald's franchises all operating in the louisville kentucky area. and the department of labor said 300 -- then law permits. federal law permits for youth and two tendril children were
8:43 pm
employed and not paid by little mcdonald's franchise. working as late as two a.m.. i don't want to say some of the things that potentials were supposedly doing at these mcdonald's. including taking orders, cleaning stores, working the drive-through, working register as well. at least one of the children, the ten-year-old, were allowed to operate a deep fryer and all of the rules to be breaking that is one that department labor emphasize, that is a really bad and dangerous one. that sets the stage of the headline that we saw today. as you can imagine a lot of people talking about this today. >> what has mcdonald said? >> it's important to remember the tears here. mcdonald's operates on franchises. so the three franchisees in question are separate from the large mcdonald's corporation. but they released a statement saying they have right here where they said, essentially, these reports are unacceptable, deeply trump, like run afoul
8:44 pm
the hype expects stations we have, time don's brand. some estimates corporations coming out and saying, explicitly, this is not something that we condone. this is not something that we endorse. one of the things that they emphasize that we are going to continue working with the federal government to ensure all labor laws are enforced in these locations that we are talking about right now. >> where were their parents? what was happening? what we know about the families. this is where gets low bit more interesting and perhaps or more layers and just that shocking headline may illustrate. so one of the franchisees they actually saw statement. they explained, whether to try to explain what happened. so only one of the franchisees that had those 2:10 years working at one of their stores. but they said, this is -- they told cnn that the 2:10-year-olds where children of a night manager was working at one of the stores, and tonight manager brought in those children to visit. that night manager at the store
8:45 pm
worked with them, the company, the franchisee they said that is still not acceptable. but the reason i want to bring it up is because they're probably two different things going on here. the vast majority of the other penalties that department of labor found were, 14, 15 year olds who are working longer hours then they are supposed to be working. or our southside of the normal allowed time of day that you can be working fewer 18. they tenuous situation seems to be something specific and different where this camp day saying they came with their parents or a parent to the store to help out. >> i wonder what is happening in terms of all those statistics that i read in terms of more children working? is that an economic thing? >> they are passing laws, they're rolling back child labor laws. >> why are they doing that? >> there are few things here. they're larger context, which, i think it is interesting that we asked the department of labor for a little bit more information on the individual families. some of the details here that
8:46 pm
we still haven't heard back from. to your question, yes, there has been a push in some states, recently, rollback child labor laws. arkansas is one of the more notable ones in recent years. i think you guys talk about wisconsin serving alcohol to 14-year-olds -- or 14 years being able to serve alcohol. the reason, in arkansas, when that happened was because governor, sarah bee sanders said there are some regulations and permits and we don't think are necessary, or we think are an impediment to having some young kids work and gets into the habit of working. advocates say that leads to problems. >> that leads to ten-year-olds at the d prior. >> perhaps always on the situation. >> there is a situation in recent years where i've seen, obviously, jumps it percentages that the department of labor census from 2018's has said there has been a jump in over 20% in violations of child labor laws. when things i think we have seen in recent years is that a
8:47 pm
lot of those include migrant children who are caught up in the system, they need to work to support the parents, or perhaps even being separated from their parents and build communities where they actually are in some ways incentivized to work to help their family. yet they are willing to overlook some of those guidelines that could help them get caught up with the department of labor, or whatever it may be. >> that's the other layer contacts there. actually, the new york times earlier this year they released a big investigative report and exposé saying that the government, the federal government, has been turning a blind eye so a lot of migrants and children basically being exploited. with a child labor. then, the biden administration came out and said we're going to take this more seriously. this is going to be a priority for us. and, i think, this is going to be one of the examples of the federal government basically saying we are going to take this more seriously. we are going to crack down and we are going to address it. now, the challenge in this particular case is that the government did not say, specifically, that these 300
8:48 pm
plus minors were migrants, we weren't clear as to what their individual situation was. but if he re-tee leaves that seems to be the timing. the federal government says when i take this a little bit more seriously and obviously it wasn't. >> what is the consequence? >> the consequences from the federal government, these franchisees, they have penalties. they have dollar amounts that total, i believe over $200,000 that they had to pay, collectively, in smaller amounts. that is, at least in the federal government perspective, that is a federal penalty for the moment. it doesn't seem like the individual people are being penalized, seems a franchisees, the owners of these businesses, these mcdonald's, are paying the price. >> thanks for explaining all of that. that is definitely phenomenon that people did not know what's happening. >> it is exploitation that is bad to children working in dangerous situations. it is about figuring out what is happening underneath that is a challenge i think rockwood have to deal with. >> up next on the lookout, our
