Husband is now saying he will not drop the charges and the entire 60 minutes crew faces 10 years in a Lebanese jail.

Ouch.

.....a gigantic international Jerry Springer show.

You got that part right.

Well wow.

Did the father have legal custody of the children? Under what country's laws are these thing decided when the parents live in different countries?

The father nabbed the kids from Australia without the court or the mothers approval. Probably took them on holiday and never came back.

In Australia, there is a court order against him.

In Lebanon, he went to a religious court and got custody in the eyes of Islam.

Men in Lebanon get childrens rights over mothers.

Women in Australia get childrens rights over fathers.

Both countries lean too heavily in their judgements.

So it's the perfect story of a female reporter trying to apply Australian ideology in a foreign country.

Husband in Lebanon paid $1.5 Million to drop the charges.
