Albanian protests turn violent: What we know

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNow to Albania, where months of protests by the anti-government Flamingo movement turned violent this week in Tirana.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us is crisis publicist Barnaby Okafor, from a yacht. Barnaby, what happened?

3. BT

   Barnaby Tolliver OkaforHank, what I see is a flamingo having a tough week, and every great bird has one.

4. BT

   Barnaby Tolliver OkaforWe are calling it a pre-comeback, and it will be gorgeous.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe protests started on Tuesday on a different scale from anything before. Is a violent protest a pre-comeback?

6. BT

   Barnaby Tolliver OkaforEverything is a pre-comeback if you hold it right. Tee-RAH-nuh, which is how the locals say it, is simply a city in a rebrand moment.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou said it differently a minute ago.

8. BT

   Barnaby Tolliver OkaforThe locals contain multitudes. My advice is a new color. Flamingo pink reads angry on camera.

9. BT

   Barnaby Tolliver OkaforI'm thinking a calming teal flamingo, with a fresh slogan.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA teal flamingo.

    Barnaby Tolliver OkaforAnd I have pitched the government too, because a good publicist represents every side of the float. It is a very large float.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth sides. You have never been to Albania, have you?

13. BT

    Barnaby Tolliver OkaforI have read about it extensively, and I am hugging the float right now. Tee-RAWN-ya is lovely, and Albania is a gorgeous part of Italy.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt is not in Italy. Barnaby Okafor, thank you. Brock, is there any weather over Tirana, or just over his yacht?
