The Olympics will go on in Paris, despite a massive sabotage campaign against France's rail system. Hundreds of thousands of travelers are stranded, including in the capital, and the police are investigating the incidents as a crime.

The World's host, Marco Werman, talks to correspondent Gerry Hadden, who has been covering the Olympics in Paris.
