BALDWIN: Just about the bottom of the hour. I'm Brooke Baldwin. And we mentioned this before the break, this just into us here at CNN. Toronto police are investigating threats against Toronto's crack- smoking mayor, Rob Ford. I believe just recently, he was caught jaywalking. He has been stripped of much of his duties, but again this man this man is still in power, sits in the seat of the mayor of Toronto. Paula Newton is calling in. And, Paula Newton, what do you know about these threats and this investigation?</s>PAULA NEWTON, CNN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Police did confirm just a short time ago to CNN that indeed two police officers have gone to the mayor's office to discuss with him a threat that allegedly has been made against him and perhaps also his family. We don't know the nature of the threat, when it came, or how it came to him today, just that they are investigating the possibility of a threat to him and apparently his family as well. In the middle of all this, though, Brooke, always a lot of controversy there at City Hall. They were having quite a heated debate about whether or not the pride flag should be raised over City Hall. With the openings of the Olympics, there has been debate. One protocol officer at City Hall decided that the pride flag should not go up. The mayor of Toronto decided it should not, and he tried to have it ordered to be taken down. In the meantime, he tweeted that he supports all athletes at the Olympics, and that's all he would say. You know, Brooke, just another one of those turbulent days at City Hall, where it's difficult to know what's going on and exactly what the mayor's stand is on any of these events.
