i do know they just did -- i believe it was the toronto star newspaper -- global news -- did a poll just come out with his apology to the people of toronto, and his approval rating, it's now at 43%. higher than a certain president i can think of. >> hackers broke into the database of u.s.a. limousine software company and stole permanent -- personal information about this customers, including hollywood a-listers and congress people and athletes. the software company is called, corporate car online. it provides reservation tools and data security from limo companies chaos the can you tri. it includes credit card numbers and specific client demand. possible victims including one tom hanks who is lested as a very iv ip customer, and also the nba star nope as lebron james, and the billionaire businessman,p. trace gallagher has here. the limo company bills itself as very secure. >> reporter: in fact their motto is, trust us, because your data is secure. then some cybersecurity experts looked into corporate car online and find out their software is outdated. some programs as old as 14 years old

so this is toronto mayor rob ford threatening to murder someone this video was obtained by the toronto star and it's actually rob ford's the least incriminating video there's another video long rumored to have existed showing the mayor smoking crack toronto police have that video and mayor ford was forced to do what no mayor ever really wants to do and that's admit that he smoked crack. yes i have smoked crack cocaine. when but and we all do i am i an addict know when every time i tried it. probably in one of my drunken stupors probably approximately about a year ago. to recap here the mayor of the fourth largest city in north america smoke crack and apparently wants to murder someone now the interesting part his approval ratings are going up as the toronto star reports since the crack revelations the mayor's approval rating has ticked up going from thirty nine percent to forty four percent meanwhile during the same time president obama's approval rating has dropped to thirty nine percent last week is lowest ever and his choom gang days are long behind him so what exactly is going on here w

his approval ratings are going up as the toronto star reports since the crack revelations the mayor's approval rating has picked up going from thirty nine percent to forty four percent. meanwhile during the same time president obama is approval rating has dropped to thirty nine percent last week. his lowest ever. and his cheery day days are long behind them so what exactly is going on here well it's really easy to explain the president's failing numbers others to watch obama to roll out the nsa revelations a pretty crummy economy the perception that the wealthy are being catered to. while the working class has been left behind. all that stuff inspires pretty well together to sink some poll numbers. well things like smoking crack and there seemed caught on camera moments as much as the media likes to harp on them. really affect voters' perceptions your member marion barry and what he gets caught smoking crack all he was mayor of the year the nation's capital washington dc back in nineteen ninety even went to jail for it. how did the voters react. well they like to have mirrored in a fe

the "toronto star" says i beat up kids. that's what they said.ut me. so how you going to trust the "toronto star" when these guys went out there, they lied, they outright lied. so as soon as you hear something from the "toronto star" 90% of it's lies. they hate me with a passion. they went out, i beat their candidate in the election. they went crazy. if someone comes up, you know you hate -- they hate you, and says oh, we got something on you, what are you going to say? you going to say that's true? of course not. i thought about it and you know what, i didn't tell anyone. and i was the one who went out. i was the one who went out and said ask that question again. what did you ask me a few months ago? >> then it got heated as we got into an argument over semantics. he said they asked the wrong questions, not did you ever smoke crack but are you a crack addict. he had been asked the right questions all that time. but if we were looking for a moment of contrition, we weren't going to get it then. >> bill, we will go live right now. thank you so muc

. >> first a quick recap, the right wing mayor of toronto was busted for being an alleged star of an pe that allegedly shows him smoking crack. reporters from the toronto newspaper say they were shown the video earlier this year which prompted ford to publicly deny the allegations back in may. >> there's been a serious accusation from the toronto star that i use crack cocaine. i do not use crack cocaine, nor a am i an addict of crack cocaine. as for a video, i cannot comment on a video that i have never seen or does not exist. >> just last week, toronto police came forward and said not only does a rob ford crack tape exist, but they have possession of it. over the weekend, ford did some soul searching, vowing to stop getting, quote, hammered but made no reference to his choice of words crack cocaine. he wasn't lying, the media just didn't ask the correct question. but as the toronto star points out, the question have you ever smoked crack cocaine has been posed several times. >> maybe when i've been in a drunken stupor. i want everyone to see the tape. >> one former ford ally admittin

two weeks after that, your very own gouker ran the story in the "toronto star" and been reporting itng since then. >> you've seep the video. what does it actually show? >> it's about a minute and a half long. it shows a man, it's clearly rob ford, shot in high-definition. it's in sunshine. he's holding what looks like a crack pipe and he's jerking around on his chair. he's slurring, he's rambling, he calls the leader of the liberal, federal liberal party a homophobic slur and he smokes out of what looks like a crack pipe. >> okay. wait a minute. so he's smoking crack, and making slurs about another politician, both homophobic slurs and a racial crack? >> correct. >> okay. so we talked with paula newton about more video possibly coming out. is that your understanding that there is -- is that your understanding? there is another video talking about another politician? >> the last six months the mayor has been on a rampage against the media, and particularly my newspaper and about us making up this story. and the fact that he's never even admitted to drinking before a few days ago, and

from the toronto star that i use crack cocaine.m i an addict. as for a video, i cannot comment on a video i have never seen or does not exist. >> just last week toronto police came forward always, always >> one former ford ally admitting i think he's lost the moral authority to leave. and reporters were again summoned to another news conference, the mayor arrived late but was apologetic. >> there's only one person to blame for me, and that is myself. i know that admitting my mistake was the right thing to do. and i feel like 1,000 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. folks, i have nothing left to hide. >> ford may be remorseful, but the guy's not going anywhere. unless he's convicted of a crime, he'll stay in office. and he's committed to staying on board until elections next year. >> i was elected to do a job and that's exactly what i'm going to continue doing. and on october 27th of 2014, i want the people of this great city to decide whether they want rob ford to be their mayor. >> maybe right about now you're feeling a lit

clear that the video is consistent with the previous press reports and alluding to the reports by toronto star, for example, saying that they said seen the reporters videos of what looked like marion ford smoking crack cocaine. so also the toronto police chief going one step further, saying he he's very disappointed by the results of this investigation into drugs and gangs. an investigation that has led to the arrest of this week of one of marion ford's friends and occasional drivers. we're waiting to see whether he's going to be -- he's going to be in court any minute now on bail charges. this photo shows the mayor, rob ford, it's part of this 400-something page police report, investigation. and it shows the mayor in front of what the police describe as a crack house with two suspected drug gang members who were both shot last march, one of them dying and the other wounded in that incident. so as marion ford stands strong and dbs using any crack cocaine, on the other hand, there's a lot of evidence showing that he's been hanging around with people with multiple convictions and believed to be
