[0:00] News weather and the hour is brought to
[0:01] you by Tepic Laser Surgery Centers. Your
[0:04] vision for the future
[0:11] [Music]
[0:14] on World News Tonight this Tuesday. A
[0:16] nasty day in Seattle.
[0:19] Thousands of people angry and
[0:20] disenchanted with the results of freer
[0:23] trade in the world. On the Mexican US
[0:26] border, they are digging up victims of
[0:28] the drug culture. Reducing human error
[0:31] in the hospital. Get rid of the
[0:32] paperwork. Go to the computer. And we'll
[0:35] take a closer look at the lawsuit
[0:36] against Consumer Reports. It has to do
[0:39] with these road tests.
[0:48] From ABC News World Headquarters in New
[0:51] York, this is World News Tonight with
[0:54] Peter Jennings.
[0:55] >> Good evening. It's a pretty good rule of
[0:56] thumb that when the weather is bad,
[0:58] there is less likelihood of a large
[0:59] outdoor gathering being successful. Not
[1:02] in Seattle today. There were so many
[1:04] people upset with the World Trade
[1:06] Organization, the WTO, which is meeting
[1:09] there this week, that opening the
[1:10] conference today was a very dicey
[1:12] affair. The opening ceremonies had to be
[1:14] cancelled. For a while, the most radical
[1:17] demonstrators, who do not shy away from
[1:19] violence, were the center of attention.
[1:21] But throughout the day, thousands of
[1:23] people in Seattle and elsewhere were
[1:25] united in their opposition to the
[1:27] various consequences of trade in a
[1:30] global economy. We're going to begin
[1:31] with ABC's John Cochran.
[1:35] No American city is more dependent on
[1:37] global commerce than Seattle,
[1:40] but today it was home to protests
[1:42] against world trade.
[1:44] Police tried to clear a path for
[1:46] delegates.
