WJLA Nightline September 1, 2016

Good evening and thank you for joining us. Inside the fight against isis. Not on the battlefield but insoi inside the hearts and minds of young people in one of the worlds most developed countries. France has been terrorized by isis. Now everybody from senators to soldiers, even moms, is trying to keep the terrorists at bay. Abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent mashtds thrtha ra there. Reporter were on our way to see a single mother who had a son she feared would be claimed by isis. This is a scarily common story here in france. Where the government says there are more than 8,000 muslims who have shown some sign of radicalization. Like this womans 18yearold son. When your son told you he was sometimes hunting attackers home by home in neighborhoods like this one. This is st. Denis outside paris. It might as well be another world. This is an area where there are many, many immigrants. This past week, seven individuals in france were arrested, accused of being in terrorist networks. Three of them allegedly had advanced plans. The mother you saw who asked that her face be kept in shadow well call fatima. Why do you think all these young men and young women are going to daesh . Translator theyre kind of the perfect target. They believe things easily. We were not ready to fight this new threat. Absolutely not. Reporter french senator natalie the country must basically start the fight against isis or daesh as its called from scratch. Its like being on titanic with a little spoon. Every day you have to prevent the water to come on this side. So right now the jihadists are running faster than the lawmakers. But its started to be much better. The tools are almost ready. Reporter the most important tool, intelligencesharing. Prior to the paris attacks in november, french authorities had this man, fabian, under surveillance. Despite that he was able to help plan the attacks. A major failure of intelligence, according to senator gulet. She took us to the home where fabian lived and became radicalized. Its a decent place with a nice environment. It doesnt prevent the people to get radicalized in france. Reporter leading the seah lawyer who represents the families of the victims of terror in france. They dont want to see another mother crying because the son is not here anymore. Reporter with her handdrawn chart showing the connections between terror attacks in multiple countries. She brings to mind the same dogged determination of homelands obsessive cia agent carrie matheson. We have to figure out what happened right here. They were well known by the police and the intelligence but they were failure acting. There is lack of sharing information. Stove pipe. Yes. Thats the problem. Reporter thats why now the french government has taken unprecedented steps to improve its intelligence efforts. A state of emergency declared after the november attacks has been extended to last more than a year. The French Military has been called up too as u. S. And coalition r winning the conventional war against isis in the middle east, this week killing isis number two, Abu Mohammad Al adnani. Isis fighters are now moving beyond the borders to carry out attacks in the west. Theyve put up security on both sides of the eiffel tower since the shooting here last november. And they have about 10,000 french soldiers patrolling. And what do you look out for . Were looking for all things strange, not normal. Luggage left somewhere reporter those clues could be vital to stopping another major attack, like the one on the bataclan concert hall in november. Alexis survived that attack. He knows firsthand the price that is paid when intelligence fails. I was really upset taclan concertgoers were not protected, because they were known targets. Its really hard to cope with that and to move forward. Reporter alex sister has found some solace working for a victims organization, life for paris. There, he and other young survivors work to come to terms with the new normal. The fact that these people are extremely young, is also extremely i think shocking for my generation. Because they are the same age as us. Reporter fatimas teenage son, were calling him omar, says he was radicalized by propaganda videos he saw on social media. What did you think when you saw those images . Translator it made me want to go there. Its interesting. Did you know what isis and what daesh had done to people and murdered reporters, murdered other people . That. I saw it more as an organization trying to help people there. They were showing people giving food to young boys and young starving children. They were protecting people from the assad government. Reporter fatima is very close to her son, and of course knew the truth about isis. But she feared that if she told him not to join them, it would guarantee he would. Instead, she tracked him carefully. Until he found out about those groups on his own. Seeing the devastation of the Charlie Hebdo attack forever changed his perception. Translator he said, look at the terrorist attack, look at the terrorist attack. I smiled and said, hes finally going to realize, those are not muslims. Translator you should not listen to these people this propaganda. Syria is not real life, whats there is not real life. As a muslim, do you think they are part of islam . No. Reporter still, with on the road to being radicalized in france, the pressure on intelligence and Law Enforcement only increases. And the hunt for isis becomes even more difficult. For nightline, im Martha Raddatz in paris. We want to thank martha for that report. Up next on nightline, were going to switch gears a little bit to a story about a man who says he can fix your love life by using his psychic powers to channel your romantic partner. Later, will the fourth time be a charm for the new bachelor . A man who has loved and lost before, creating controversy along the way. Thats it, im a smoker for life. I wanted to be a nonsmoker and i did it thanks to chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. This is for real. Im a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. With this level of engineering. Its a performance machine. With this degree of intelligence. Its a supercomputer. With this grade of protection. Its a fortress. And with this standard of luxury. Its an oasis. Introducing the completely redesigned eclass. Mercedesbenz. The best or nothing. Most people go to a psychic to hear about their future or to communicate with the dead. Tonight youre going to meet a psychic who claims he can channel living people, specifically, your romantic partner. Can this man fix your relationship . Aditi roy put him to the test. Reporter kelly suarez is not the kind of person youd normally expect to see knocking on a psychics door. Hi, come on in. Im paul, nice to meet you. Reporter kellys an executive at creole crayola experience. Her career is blooming. Shes in love. And two years into their relationship, she and her boyfriend tim are moving in together. I think that we did a good job of organizing all the things. Reporter both are previously divorced. The couple is devoted to the success of their relationship. Their main issue . Sometimes communication barrier because i want to fix everything. We sort of talk past each other. Reporter so kelly made an appointment to see one of the most soughtafter psychics youve probably never heard of. New yorker paul selig. What we say to you reporter his followers say its seligs unusual twist that keeps him booked three months in advance. Unlike most psychics he doesnt connect with the dead. People call me a medium for the living. Reporter fans flock to him for what they claim are telepathic insights into their relationships with other living people. I always say, im not a psychic spy. People say, is my spouse having an affair . I say, im not going to go there. But i can tune into the spouse and i can tune into the dynamic between the two of you. You do hear voices . My physical ears arent involved. What its like is i sort of imagine myself letting go of the drivers wheel and climbing into the back seat of the car. Ill hear one phrase repeated in my head again and again and again until i get a voice. The moment i give it voice, Everything Else tumbles out on top of that. Reporter his longtime clients swear by him. Take sammy hagar. The hardrocking lead singer of van halen famous for hits like right now. Right now its all tomorrow reporter and i cant dve 55. I cant drive 55 reporter he and his wife of 25 years, kari, underwent a difficult period in their marriage. The san franciscobased couple had been in therapy for more than a year with no breakthrough, when selig came along. A good friend of mine who was totally not into this tells me, i met this guy. And he blew my mind, he changed my life. And i said, im going to go see him. Reporter and he did, booking the session using only his first name. I asked about my wife. And he started acting like her. He started saying e as if he was in on the secret. And using my wifes gestures. And just broke me down. Even if hed googled you those are things you dont know. No. Telling me with her finger gestures, listen to me, youre not hearing what im saying. Reporter in some ways selig is an unlikely candidate for this line of work. He has a masters from yale and retired from academia only last year. I had another life. I taught at nyu for 25 years. I ran a graduate program at goddard program. When you first started hearing these voices were you worried that something was going on with you, like a Mental Illness . No. Because i heard it in context. I was accessing information for somebody else, not for me. That made me trust it. That was a big difference. I love you. I love you. Reporter will he be able to help kelly and tim . Hi, im here for paul selig. Reporter he charges 400 an the psychic waives her fee for appearing on television. When i heard the words i come and repeat them so youre going to hear things twice. Usually with a name and a question i can step into somebody else. Reporter the first person to come up, her brother. Let me see if i can get him. Okay . Thats him. I can see that. He comes through backing away from you. Yeah. Not quite sure how to approach. I have felt that. I think that the worry is again your fear of not being in control. What are you worried about . I worry about him finding his way. Let me go to him. If he doesnt find his way, thats his choice. I have to say, if he doesnt find his way, thats his choice. Is it possible that youre just really great at reading peoples body language and feeling what theyre feeling . No, not at all. Im accessing stuff that i shouldnt necessarily be able to access. And the funny thing about the guy youre with reporter next, tim. I dont think he really wants you to be any different than you are. I just think he wants you to love him as he like, this is who i am. I dont want to change it. Im trying my best, im trying my best. Dont make me wrong, you know . You literally said that saturday night. Love the man as he is. I hear youve got a good guy. Thanks, paul. Youre very welcome. I hope it was helpful, i really do. I feel like i just went on a ride. I think its very powerful. And it transcends normal life. Reporter in san francisco, kari hagar shares similar sentiments. It was absolutely mindblowing. Because it was to the core exactly of what i was trying to communicate with him. And theres details. Theres mannerisms that he brings up that you absolutely cant argue with. Reporter my producer and i had to see for ourselves. So she arranged a reading to ensure his hand couldnt be tipped. Aditi, a pleasure to meet you. Reporter we didnt share which of abc news 60 or so co interviewing him. I whisper the words as they come reporter some of the insights fell flat like the reference to my husbands cuff links. I dont know why he comes through showing me cufflinks. Reporter which he never wears. But others genuinely surprised me. Jamie shore. Male or female . Female. This is her. She calls you in, shes protective of you. Very. Reporter skeptics, of course, routinely distrust psychics. How do you convince people who have never experienced that, that that exists . I dont try to. You know . Im not a spiritual teacher, on not a guru, and i dont want to be. Reporter back in new york kelly is still digesting. I think that was better than therapy. Because its as if he cut to the quick, quickly. Reporter and her boyfriend tim is optimistic. Its going to give us stuff to talk about for the rest of tonight as we go home, were going to talk about it tomorrow, i think were going to talk about it a week from now. Reporter the couple hoping happy ending. For nightline, im aditi roy in san francisco. Next, the man who infamously kissed and told after losing on the bachelorette is back. This time hell be the one handing out the roses. Im claudine and i quit smoking with chantix. Smokings a monkey on my back. It was, it was always controlling your time, it had me. It had me. I would not be a nonsmoker today if it wasnt for chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it.
