[0:03] On World News Tonight this Sunday, the

[0:06] first look at a key suspect in the

[0:08] embassy bombings and how he's helping

[0:11] American investigators.

[0:13] In Russia, it's out with the new and in

[0:16] with the old. Boris Yelson fires his

[0:19] prime minister again.

[0:21] >> Consecutive series.

[0:24] >> And slugger Mark Maguire says he's

[0:26] taking a controversial supplement. It's

[0:29] legal, but is it fair

[0:37] >> from ABC News, this is World News

[0:42] Tonight, Sunday.

[0:44] >> Good evening. I'm Carol Simpson. ABC

[0:46] News has learned tonight that there were

[0:48] traces of TNT in the bomb that destroyed

[0:51] the American embassy in Nairobi. It took

[0:54] US investigators less than two weeks to

[0:57] identify Osama bin Laden as the chief

[1:00] suspect in that attack and to launch a

[1:03] counter strike against his operations.

[1:05] How did investigators learn so much so

[1:08] quickly? Tonight, a first look at a key

[1:10] suspect who has been cooperating with

[1:12] the FBI. ABC's Guju Chang is in Nairobi.

[1:18] This is the face of Muhammad Sadi OD.

[1:21] ABC News obtained this photo and an

[1:23] American official confirmed his

[1:25] identity. US intelligence sources

[1:27] believe he is a key player in the US

[1:29] embassy bombing in Nairobi. OD told

[1:32] investigators that he is Palestinian and

[1:34] that his operation was financed by Osama

[1:36] bin Laden, the man who declared a holy

[1:39] war against Americans.

[1:40] >> OD himself uh has told criminal

[1:44] investigators that he was directed by

[1:47] Bin Laden uh to carry out this

[1:49] operation. Odday, seen here in photos

[1:52] first obtained by the East African

[1:53] Standard newspaper, remains in custody

[1:56] in Nairobi. OD left Kenya the night

[1:59] before the bombing. On August 7th, he

[2:01] was caught trying to enter Pakistan

[2:03] without a passport. After a week of

[2:06] interrogation, OD was returned to Kenya.

[2:09] According to law enforcement officials,

[2:11] OD has provided a virtual road map of

[2:14] clues for investigators. Last Tuesday,

[2:16] the FBI and Kenyan police raided a hotel

[2:20] based on a tip from OD. It is here that

[2:23] officials believe OD and his team may

[2:26] have built parts of the bomb in Nairobi.

[2:28] Investigators dusted for fingerprints

[2:30] and took away the hotel registration

[2:32] book. OD handed over the names of two

[2:35] co-conspirators who are being held in

[2:37] Pakistan. The trail of evidence from

[2:39] fingerprints to eyewitness accounts

[2:41] along with the methodical reconstruction

[2:43] of the bomb scene is slowly growing. OD

[2:46] has provided the kinds of leads that

[2:48] investigators need to obtain a criminal

[2:51] conviction.

[2:52] >> When you have someone like this who is a

[2:54] self-confessed participant in the

[2:56] bombing and has knowledge of the other

[2:58] members of the bombing plot itself, it

[3:01] greatly accelerates the investigative

[3:03] trail itself. Federal officials now

[3:05] believe that the bomb was carried in

[3:07] this model Toyota pickup, a Dina 200.

[3:10] Today, authorities continue to catalog

[3:13] mangled parts raed from the blast. Juju

[3:16] Chang, ABC News, Nairobi, Kenya.

[3:20] >> American investigators say Osama bin

[3:22] Laden financed the terrorist training

[3:25] camp attacked by American missiles on

[3:27] Thursday. Bin Laden is a guest of the

[3:29] Taliban rulers in Afghanistan. But as

[3:32] ABC's Richard Gizbert reports from

[3:34] Pakistan, Bin Laden may be wearing out

[3:37] his welcome.

[3:39] >> Carol, ABC News has learned that Moola

[3:41] Muhammad Omar, the leader of

[3:43] Afghanistan's Taliban government, has

[3:45] sent a clear message to Osama bin Laden.

[3:47] That message is bin Laden must show

[3:49] restraint and must consult with the

[3:51] government before making any more public

[3:52] statements. The Afghan government is

[3:54] obviously worried about more missile

[3:56] strikes and it's saying that it's up to

[3:57] the government and not bin Laden to

[3:59] determine what the appropriate response

[4:01] will be to the US attacks. And this is

[4:04] not the first time that bin Laden, who's

[4:05] from Saudi Arabia, has tested the

[4:07] patience of his host country. Two years

[4:10] ago, he was ordered to leave Sudan after

[4:12] the Sudin government came under heavy

[4:13] pressure from the US to deport him.

[4:15] That's when he came to Afghanistan.

[4:18] Today's development begs a couple of

[4:19] questions. Will Osama bin Laden tow the

[4:21] line laid down by the Afghan government?

[4:23] And if not, how long will that

[4:25] government allow bin Laden to use

[4:27] Afghanistan as his base of operations?

[4:30] Richard Gizbert, ABC News, Islamabad.

[4:34] >> This is Morton Dean in cartoon where the

[4:36] other missiles hit. In an interview with

[4:38] ABC News this evening, Hassan Alarabi,

[4:41] the most influential man in Sudan, said

[4:44] the US is turning Osama bin Laden into a

[4:46] folk hero. Badinhan now has become in

[4:49] the whole Muslim world among all young

[4:52] Muslims actually.

[4:53] >> A hero. Oh,

[4:53] >> a hero. Not at all. A hero. Alterabi is

[4:58] the speaker of Sudan's parliament and is

[5:00] himself accused by Western intelligence

[5:02] agencies of endorsing terrorism. He says

[5:05] for the US to suggest bin Laden was

[5:07] connected to the factory is fiction.

[5:10] Alterabi said the president acted

[5:12] because of his personal problems. If you

[5:15] become that selfish and just for your

[5:18] own sake try to do all this, that's too

[5:22] criminal for a person and that's too bad

[5:24] for you in history in the history of

[5:26] American presidency.

[5:29] >> The Monica problem you refer

[5:30] >> that's right a mon problem.

[5:32] >> Today the UN's representative in Sudan,

[5:35] Philip Murrell, visited the bombed out

[5:37] facility. He said it might be wise for

[5:39] an international body to investigate the

[5:41] conflicting claims about what was being

[5:43] manufactured here. Sudan has demanded an

[5:46] investigation. Sudan is using every

[5:49] opportunity to press its case. Members

[5:51] of parliament were shown part of a US

[5:53] missile.

[5:58] >> The passion with which Sudan is

[5:59] defending itself reached an extreme

[6:01] today. This man scooping up some powder

[6:04] amid the rubble and eating it. his way

[6:06] of ridiculing any claim that there were

[6:09] deadly chemicals being manufactured

[6:11] here. Wharton Dean, ABC News, cartoon.

[6:15] >> Weeks before the attacks on the

[6:17] embassies in East Africa, American

[6:19] intelligence agents were busy in Albania

[6:22] protecting the American embassy there.

[6:25] You might not have heard about it

[6:26] because it was a success. ABC's Mike Lee

[6:30] has that story.

[6:32] The scene in Albania today after a lone

[6:35] gunman was shot dead by security guards

[6:37] after he had climbed the US embassy wall

[6:39] and fired shots. No one else was

[6:41] injured. Protection of the American

[6:43] embassy in Albania has been a quiet,

[6:45] almost secret success story. Since June,

[6:47] US and Albanian officials have worked

[6:49] closely together, carrying out a series

[6:51] of raids against suspected terrorist

[6:53] safe houses and training facilities.

[6:56] One week ago, 200 Marines were diverted

[6:58] from these NATO exercises in Albania to

[7:01] help evacuate US dependents and

[7:03] non-essential diplomats from the

[7:04] embassy. The joint US Albanian

[7:07] anti-terrorist operation had uncovered

[7:09] and foiled what American officials

[7:11] describe as a credible plot to bomb the

[7:13] embassy. American intelligence officials

[7:17] in Albania have so far been able to stay

[7:19] ahead of the terrorist threat despite

[7:21] the social chaos which makes the country

[7:23] a fertile breeding ground for Islamic

[7:25] extremists.

[7:27] >> The collapse of a fraudulent pyramid

[7:29] investment scheme last year has meant

[7:30] high unemployment and ineffective

[7:32] government and an open door for

[7:34] international Islamic groups with money.

[7:36] So therefore they come in and they help

[7:39] with hospitals. Uh they start with

[7:42] schools, they build mosques and so on.

[7:44] And therefore under that cover uh you

[7:46] could then have militants coming in and

[7:49] acting in the name of Islam.

[7:50] >> Albania desperately needs US support in

[7:53] trying to stop suppression of ethnic

[7:55] Albanians in neighboring Kosovo. Thus

[7:57] the Albanian government said one US

[7:59] official is eager to help in trying to

[8:01] avoid terrorist attacks against American

[8:03] targets. Mike Lee, ABC News, London.

[8:07] >> Still ahead on World News Tonight this

[8:09] Sunday, for the second time this year,

[8:11] Russian President Boris Yelson fires his

[8:14] prime minister. Baseball's Mark Maguire,

[8:17] another home run. A new controversy. And

[8:21] some of the world's biggest celebrities

[8:23] like you've never seen them before.

[8:27] This is World News Tonight Sunday

[8:31] brought to you by Oolen.

[8:37] Though farmers have been bringing us

[8:38] their harvest for 45 years. Then the

[8:41] farm co-op brought me something

[8:42] different. News that soybeans like ours

[8:45] could be used to make a cooking oil fry

[8:47] up snack chips without adding any fat or

[8:49] calories. Hey, at Crisco, they figured

[8:52] without all the fat of regular chips,

[8:54] this oene could help lots of people eat

[8:56] a little healthier. Well, all I say is

[8:59] doing good starts right in your own

[9:00] backyard.

[9:01] >> New fat-free Oolene, a good place to

[9:03] start.

[9:07] >> To deep clean your carpet and

[9:09] upholstery, you can get a Hoover Steam

[9:11] Ve Ultra and pay once or pay these guys

[9:16] >> every time.

[9:25] Sweet honey, crunchy nuts on classic

[9:27] Kellogg's Cornflakes.

[9:29] >> Sorry, did I wake you?

[9:30] >> Kellogg's Honey Crunch Cornflakes. An

[9:32] algether great breakfast.

[9:35] >> If you can do this, you can make wood

[9:38] beautiful with Minwax. And if you can do

[9:41] this, you can give wood lasting

[9:43] protection. Turning a house into a

[9:46] beautiful home is as easy as turning to

[9:48] Minwax.

[9:50] >> You're not buying one of those

[9:51] laxatives. It's got stimulants that may

[9:53] cause cramping.

[9:54] >> Says who?

[9:55] >> Says on the label. Phillips is the only

[9:57] one that doesn't. Now remember,

[9:59] nothing's better.

[10:00] >> How could she forget?

[10:02] >> Phillips effective relief without harsh

[10:04] stimulants.

[10:06] Russian President Boris Yelen fired his

[10:08] prime minister today and reinstated the

[10:11] man he threw out just five months ago,

[10:14] Victor Cherimardan. The abrupt

[10:16] turnaround raises questions about

[10:18] Russia's growing financial crisis and

[10:20] about Yelen himself. ABC's Hillary Brown

[10:23] is in Moscow. Yelson's decree came a day

[10:27] after thousands of demonstrators marched

[10:29] on Moscow demanding his resignation. It

[10:32] came two days after the Russian

[10:34] Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor

[10:36] of the same thing. Yeltson reacted with

[10:39] the curious statement that people tend

[10:41] to forget that this country has a

[10:43] president. He's been on holiday for the

[10:45] past five weeks. In his rare public

[10:48] appearances, he's often seemed confused.

[10:51] He appointed 35-year-old Sergey Kireno

[10:54] as premier only last March, saying he

[10:56] needed fresh young blood. Since then,

[10:59] Kerenko presided over plunging share

[11:02] prices, paralyzing strikes, and on

[11:04] Monday, the devaluation of the ruble,

[11:07] and a 90-day moratorum on foreign debt.

[11:10] It's not clear why Yeltson thinks that

[11:12] the man he fired 5 months ago, can do

[11:15] any better this time around. Many

[11:18] believe that the seasoned chair Miridan,

[11:20] aged 60, would be much better placed to

[11:22] take over should Yelt's health force him

[11:24] to leave office. Whether it's physical

[11:26] or mental, I don't know, but it's clear

[11:29] that uh he can no longer control the

[11:31] situation.

[11:32] >> It will take Chair Meridan at least a

[11:34] week to form a new government. He's

[11:36] faced with a nation on the brink of

[11:38] economic collapse and a president who,

[11:41] according to polls here, has an approval

[11:43] rating of 4%. Hillary Brown, ABC News,

[11:47] Moscow.

[11:48] >> President Clinton heads to Russia at the

[11:51] end of the month. ABC's Mike Von is with

[11:53] the president on Martha's Vineyard.

[11:55] Mike, what's the reaction there to

[11:57] today's news from Russia?

[11:59] >> Well, Carol, the traveling White House

[12:01] is obviously watching the changes in

[12:02] Moscow very carefully. But for now,

[12:04] President Clinton's aids insist that

[12:06] Yeltson shakeup is an internal matter.

[12:09] Today, Vice President Gore talked

[12:10] directly with the new Russian Prime

[12:12] Minister Chino Miran and is briefing

[12:14] President Clinton on his conversation.

[12:16] Also, the shakeup did not come as a

[12:18] total surprise to President Clinton. His

[12:20] advisers have been warning for a couple

[12:22] of weeks this might happen because

[12:23] Yeltson has a history of turning over

[12:25] his cabinet when he gets in trouble. The

[12:27] White House says what continues to be

[12:29] important is that the new government

[12:31] remain committed to a market economy.

[12:33] Carol,

[12:34] >> that's what I was going to ask you.

[12:35] Isn't their concern that the political

[12:37] move could worsen the economic crisis?

[12:40] >> Yes. And what they're concerned about is

[12:41] the Russian ruble. Its devaluation has

[12:43] hurt the already struggling Russian

[12:45] people in their wallet. and the great

[12:47] fears that they would say this democracy

[12:48] and market economy is not working.

[12:50] Carol, the White House may have its

[12:52] concerns about Yeltson's health and

[12:53] leadership, but it still sees Yeltson as

[12:55] the best hope to keep Russia on the road

[12:57] to reform. Thank you very much, Mike

[12:59] Vonrren reporting from Martha's

[13:01] Vineyard. Coming up, the next invasion

[13:04] of the Beatles, but no one's singing

[13:06] this time.

[13:11] When some people have allergies, they

[13:13] sneeze a lot. Others get an itchy, runny

[13:16] nose or nasal congestion. Me, I had it

[13:20] all. So I said to my doctor, "Enough

[13:22] already." He prescribed Flownese nasal

[13:25] spray.

[13:26] >> Multi symptom flown once a day relieves

[13:28] all nasal allergy symptoms all day and

[13:31] all night long for any or all of those

[13:33] nasal symptoms.

[13:34] >> All it takes is Flise.

[13:36] >> For best results, Flise must be used

[13:38] daily. Maximum relief may take several

[13:40] days. Side effects are generally mild

[13:42] and may include headache, nose, bleed or

[13:44] sore throat. Call to learn more. Even

[13:47] kids as young as four can use flown. For

[13:49] nasal allergy relief, ask your doctor

[13:51] about multi symptom flown.

[13:53] >> When you get it all, all it takes is

[13:55] flown.

[13:56] >> I got a letter back from Quaker. You

[13:58] wrote to Quaker, told him Quaker toasted

[14:00] oatmeal ought to be called Quaker tasty

[14:02] oatmeal. It's oatmeal. It's toasted. To

[14:05] me, that says tasty. Well, then they

[14:07] should call it that.

[14:08] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal. Crisp oatmeal

[14:10] flakes with honey sweetened oat

[14:11] clusters.

[14:12] >> Well, they thanked me for my interest,

[14:13] but said product will remain Quaker

[14:15] toasted oatmeal.

[14:16] >> What a shock.

[14:17] >> Quaker tasty uh toasted oatmeal, your

[14:20] other oatmeal.

[14:21] >> And now Quaker Honey Nut toasted oatmeal

[14:23] has 20% more almonds.

[14:25] >> Oo, yum.

[15:13] >> Hurricane Bonnie, the first of the

[15:15] season, was upgraded today to a category

[15:18] 3. Bonnie is now off the Bahamas, moving

[15:21] slowly to the northwest. With winds of

[15:24] 115 m an hour, she is capable of doing

[15:27] serious damage. The current forecast has

[15:30] Bonnie hitting between Georgia and the

[15:32] Carolas, but it's early and in South

[15:35] Florida, they're getting ready just in

[15:38] case. The remnants of Tropical Storm

[15:41] Charlie drenched South Texas today. The

[15:43] storm is blamed for at least four

[15:45] deaths. All were Mexicans killed at a

[15:48] river crossing in South Texas when the

[15:50] truck they were riding in was swept

[15:52] away.

[15:54] A tree may grow in Brooklyn, but it's

[15:56] having a hard time in Chicago. Officials

[15:59] in the Windy City are trying to protect

[16:01] their trees against a growing menace,

[16:03] and so far, they're fighting a losing

[16:05] battle. ABC's Jamie Floyd takes a look

[16:08] at the little pest that's causing big

[16:11] problems.

[16:13] The Asian Longhorn beetle is killing

[16:15] Chicago's trees. Officials suspect the

[16:17] beetle first traveled here in wood

[16:19] packing crates from China. Now a growing

[16:22] threat, the insect was discovered this

[16:24] summer on the north side of the city.

[16:26] >> Another tree heavily infested.

[16:28] >> State and federal authorities

[16:30] quarantined the area in an effort to

[16:32] contain the infestation, but they were

[16:34] too late.

[16:35] >> An egg has already been laid.

[16:36] >> The beetle has now spread to surrounding

[16:39] neighborhoods, and separate infestations

[16:41] have occurred up to 15 miles away,

[16:43] requiring officials to expand the

[16:45] quarantine zone. The beetle is native to

[16:48] Japan, Korea, and southern China. The

[16:51] only other known invasion in the US was

[16:53] in 1996 in New York, where the beetle

[16:56] destroyed 2,000 trees. And that's a tiny

[16:59] fraction of the more than 60 million

[17:01] trees the bug has already killed in

[17:03] Asia. The beetles chew their way through

[17:06] the trees, killing them. No known

[17:08] pesticide will kill the bugs. The only

[17:10] way authorities have been able to get

[17:12] rid of the beetle is to cut down all

[17:15] infested trees and grind them into

[17:17] chips.

[17:18] >> Any tree that's presently infested, it

[17:21] is going to die. It's a given.

[17:24] >> The problem has sparked the concern of

[17:25] both Illinois senators. In a joint

[17:28] letter to the US Department of

[17:29] Agriculture, they urged the agency to

[17:31] examine the source and quote to work

[17:34] closely with Chinese officials to

[17:36] examine alternatives to wooden packing

[17:39] materials.

[17:40] This kind of pressure threatens to

[17:42] provoke an international trade showdown

[17:44] with China. But without such

[17:46] restrictions, continued use of Chinese

[17:48] wooden crates for shipping could

[17:50] introduce the pest to other parts of the

[17:52] US.

[17:53] >> We're very concerned that there are

[17:54] other infestations out there waiting for

[17:56] us to find.

[17:58] >> But in parts of Chicago, it's already

[18:00] too late. Jamie Floyd, ABC News,

[18:03] Chicago.

[19:00] Since I made my chocolate chip cookies

[19:02] better than ever, everyone's talking.

[19:06] >> I don't know how you made them better,

[19:08] but you did.

[19:09] >> They're the bestest ever.

[19:53] gentle. Try doctor recommended Dulax.

[19:56] It's both strong and gentle. It even has

[19:59] a special comfort coating to protect

[20:00] your stomach. In fact, doctors recommend

[20:02] Dulax most, more than correct and senot

[20:05] combined. Don't compromise. Get strong,

[20:08] get gentle, get doctor recommended

[20:10] Dulax. And for strong and gentle relief

[20:12] in minutes, get Dolax suppositories.

[20:17] Turning to sports, baseball's Mark

[20:19] Maguire got a little closer today to

[20:21] breaking Roger Maris's record for the

[20:23] most home runs in a season. He hit

[20:25] number 53. It was just revealed that

[20:29] he's been taking performance-enhancing

[20:31] substances, which are legal but

[20:34] controversial. Here's ABC's Mark Mullen.

[20:38] >> The story may be front page news, but

[20:40] for fans who came to watch Mark Maguire

[20:42] hit a home run today, it is no big deal.

[20:45] If

[20:45] >> it's legal, do it. That's just smart.

[20:47] That's not stupid. Just this past week,

[20:49] Maguire disclosed that for more than a

[20:51] year, he used a legal testosterone

[20:54] producing strength booster called

[20:56] androendion.

[20:57] It is build as a safe alternative to

[20:59] steroids. It's banned by the NFL and the

[21:03] International Olympic Committee, but its

[21:04] use is permitted by the NBA and Major

[21:08] League Baseball. Maguire wasn't talking

[21:10] about it today.

[21:11] >> This guy goes to the gym every day and

[21:13] works. All that hard work is being

[21:15] tainted by crap like this. Maguire

[21:19] >> Maguire's disclosure wouldn't be making

[21:21] headlines if he weren't on track to

[21:23] break Roger Maris's single season home

[21:25] run record. 129 games into the season.

[21:29] He is just ahead of where Maris was at

[21:31] the same point in 1961.

[21:34] Just behind Maguire in home runs this

[21:36] season is Sammy Sosa.

[21:38] >> Whatever Mark do, that's his personal

[21:40] life. That's his personal problem. Andro

[21:42] stenzion is widely available over the

[21:44] internet and at many nutritional stores.

[21:47] A one-mon supply usually costs about

[21:49] $40. The performance booster is one of a

[21:53] variety of popular sports supplements

[21:55] which are loosely regulated. Dr. Lewis

[21:57] Maram says the major league's policy on

[21:59] the substance should be questioned.

[22:01] >> It's allowing you to have a

[22:03] performance-enhancing drug that may in

[22:06] fact cause multiple medical problems.

[22:09] Controversy will continue until baseball

[22:12] management and players decide how to

[22:14] deal with supplements. As for the fans,

[22:16] they will decide whether Mark Maguire's

[22:18] legendary performance loses any of its

[22:21] luster because of the pills he took.

[22:24] Mark Mullen, ABC News, New York.

[22:29] >> In Albany, New York, today, a poignant

[22:31] reunion between some World War II

[22:33] veterans and the prisoners they freed

[22:36] from a labor camp in Hanover, Germany.

[22:38] It was the first time the liberators and

[22:41] the liberated have met since 1945.

[22:45] >> We must tell the world what happened.

[22:49] >> Whoever kills

[22:51] kills his brother.

[22:56] We are all citizens of this world

[23:00] that is still waiting for redemption.

[23:02] The former prisoners, many have

[23:04] immigrated to the United States since

[23:06] the war, wanted to meet the soldiers who

[23:08] served in the 84th Infantry Division.

[23:12] When we come back, what in the world is

[23:14] happening to some of the entertainment

[23:16] world's biggest superstars.

[23:22] >> Hey, I got a letter back from Quaker. I

[23:24] wrote and told him that Quaker toasted

[23:25] oatmeal ought to be called Quaker tasty

[23:27] oatmeal.

[23:28] >> It's oatmeal. It's toasted. To me, that

[23:30] says tasty. Well, then they should call

[23:32] it that.

[23:33] >> You need a hobby.

[23:34] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal. It's your other

[23:36] oatmeal.

[23:50] There are thousands of square miles to

[23:53] explore.

[23:56] And that's just on the inside.

[24:00] Chevy Tahoe.

[24:07] >> When some people have allergies, they

[24:09] sneeze a lot. Others get an itchy, runny

[24:12] nose or nasal congestion. Me, I had it

[24:16] all. So I said to my doctor, "Enough

[24:18] already." He prescribed Flownese nasal

[24:21] spray. Multi symptom flown once a day

[24:24] relieves all nasal allergy symptoms all

[24:26] day and all night long for any or all of

[24:29] those nasal symptoms.

[24:30] >> All it takes is flown.

[24:32] >> For best results, Flonese must be used

[24:34] daily. Maximum relief may take several

[24:36] days. Side effects are generally mild

[24:38] and may include headache, nose bleed, or

[24:40] sore throat. Call to learn more. Even

[24:43] kids as young as four can use flown. For

[24:45] nasal allergy relief, ask your doctor

[24:47] about multi symptom flown. When you get

[24:50] it all, all it takes is phonies.

[24:52] >> Good Morning America. Kevin Newman and

[24:54] Lisa McCree on top of the major news

[24:56] from Washington and the US strike

[24:58] against terrorism. This week, keep ahead

[25:00] of the headlines on Good Morning

[25:01] America.

[25:05] >> In entertainment news, the new vampire

[25:07] action movie Blade took over the top

[25:09] spot at the box office this weekend,

[25:11] taking in an estimated $17 million.

[25:15] Saving Private Ryan drops into second

[25:17] place. There's Something About Mary

[25:20] follows in third. And if you want to

[25:22] know what's going to be hot on the small

[25:24] screen, just follow a young person

[25:27] channel surfing on cable. Last year, you

[25:29] would have been led to the mega hit

[25:31] South Park. Now, it's the equally

[25:34] twisted celebrity death match, an

[25:36] irreverent MTV show that pits superstars

[25:39] in fictitious battles to the death. So

[25:42] sit back and prepare yourself for a

[25:44] sample presented from the point of view

[25:47] of the show's 29-year-old creator, Eric

[25:50] Fogle.

[25:51] >> I expect a tough, clean fight. Obey my

[25:54] commands at all times.

[25:55] >> AND HERE COMES OPRAH.

[25:57] >> Celebrity Deathmatch is a place where we

[25:59] take some of the most popular people in

[26:01] the entertainment industry. We put them

[26:03] in a ring and let them settle their

[26:05] grievances uh that way.

[26:08] >> And it's good night Rosie. People love

[26:12] seeing celebrities satarized in funny

[26:15] ways. I think they love seeing clay

[26:17] animation.

[26:18] >> Stallone's got Schwarzenegger right

[26:19] where he wants him. Now,

[26:21] >> in a typical episode, you might see

[26:23] something completely offthe-wall like

[26:26] Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester

[26:28] Stallone.

[26:31] Sylvester Stallone won the fight. He

[26:33] sort of kicked the legs out from Arnold

[26:35] and we're able to recreate little Rocky

[26:37] Baloa moment. Adrian,

[26:41] >> stop motion animation is basically the

[26:44] process of taking a puppet and shooting

[26:46] it one frame at a time.

[26:50] You're stopping every time you're posing

[26:52] the puppet. You're stopping, clicking

[26:54] off a frame, posing it again, clicking

[26:56] off a frame. That's how the process

[26:57] works. When we need to get um a wide

[27:01] view of the death bowl, we come into

[27:04] this room. In order to create the

[27:06] illusion that we've got a full crowd in

[27:07] there, we took uh garbanzo beans and we

[27:10] painted them to look like hundreds and

[27:12] hundreds of of little tiny people.

[27:14] >> Right after this break,

[27:16] >> in order to create the illusion that our

[27:18] characters are talking, we used

[27:20] replacement mouths and we have a

[27:22] different mouth for each consonant and

[27:24] syllable of spoken dialogue.

[27:28] >> Oh, Monica's hurt.

[27:30] >> Monica versus Hillary. It was actually

[27:32] the season premiere of Celebrity Death

[27:34] Match. Hillary ended up uh getting the

[27:37] better of Monica. Monica's face being

[27:39] Clay, of course, got mushed in a very

[27:42] funny and cartoony way.

[27:43] >> You go, honey. GIVE IT TO HER. GOOD. YOU

[27:46] CAN DO IT.

[27:47] >> Bill Clinton was represented. He's sort

[27:49] of cheering on his wife. MTV has sort of

[27:52] prided itself for being cutting edge,

[27:54] being a reverend, and this show is

[27:57] probably pushing that envelope as far as

[28:00] any other show has ever done.

[28:02] Jen,

[28:03] >> it's something that I just get a big

[28:04] kick out of working on.

[28:07] >> A point of view from creator Eric Fogle.

[28:09] And that's our report tonight at 9 in

[28:12] ABC News special. An update on the McCoy

[28:14] Septuplets. I'm Carol Simpson for all of

[28:17] us here at ABC News. Have a good week

[28:29] News. More Americans get their news from

[28:31] ABC News than from any other source. ABC

[28:34] News, now always on.
